ok so im on a discord server thats mainly focused on tged fandom rather than the actual story. ie, aus, fanart, headcanons, ships that kind of stuff....
you can not believe how much og lloyd is loved in that server, not everyone, but the most active on it (like i)
now id like to elaborate that we do not like canon og lloyd. there is very little about him in canon that makes him a likeable berson
but when your makeing an au were canon is less a solid structure and more a lego set, you tend to make whatever the heck you want, take pieces from other sets, exclude some from the original, bulid something similar or completely diffrent
very little care for the original intended story
so back to og lloyd, he was perfect for aus, perfect as in started out bad started out at the bottom of the mental barrel an alcoholic with anger issues who pushes every one away replaced and forgotten, and best of all, we know nothing about him, he shows up for like 2 or 3 scenes and thats it, barely a backstory or elaboration other than he was a dick and an alcoholic meaning we can make up whatever back story or lore we want for him, and then we fix him we make him turn over a new leaf, either we give him help or he pulls himself out but its very satisfying to see something so sad and pathetic get better, you may not like the original but ive fixed him so many times in so many different ways i now see the original and think "awww, poor baby, let me fix you"
mainly i pair him with suho in so many different ways, a parent, a sibling, a friend, a lover (not all at once i dont like insets and ages are appropriate and legal for each scenario ya sickos) or i pare him with javier, or give him a pet, or a spirit, some one who would be their for him
or hes alone left with his own thoughts and decides he want to live
sometimes he stays an asshole but a competent one
i will not lie, the fandom made og lloyd is likely one of my favorite character in tged, no in all of media, period. and i need more content on him. make fics, make art, make aus and head canons and incorrect quotes so i can look through all of them and spread the idea to others so i can look at thier stuff too
