in my heart, elliot ludwig was that kind of old man that could NOT eat certain things, but still ate anyways, and it was poppy and eventually ollie who had to constantly remind him of the reasons why he couldn't just eat whatever. including the unholy amount of sugar he would add to his coffee

Ok I am redoing my Oliver Ludwig is MC/Player for my a better place au. This is what he generally looked like during the tea part in chapter 5. He’ll still keep the leg and back brace. The 43 is his age. Asks are open for this au for me or the characters.

MASSIVE cornplate moment incoming but i just noticed the first couple seconds of "wrongside out" by cg5 and "are we truly alone?" from chapter 3, which plays when poppy mentions that ollie was the reason she found the player, sound extremely similar... which makes me think "are we truly alone" is possibly meant to be ollie's motif 👀

i never post poppy playtime on hereeee but hello oliver ludwig 👀

How is Ollie getting along with the others besides Poppy and CatNap? I know his relationship between him and the player is probably… tense, but does he warm up to them eventually?

Heh, actually him and "the player" get along fairly well :P

In my au, there isn't actually the player as we have them in the game. The player consists of three people: Lucas, Mara/Guardian (my silly OCs) and Susan Ayers. I will explore Susan and Oliver's relationship a bit later, so now I'm gonna focus on the other two.

Lucas is a huuuuuge engineering nerd, he helped Ollie repair his arms... Err, arm, as only one survived the fire. He built the other one and chatted with Ollie a lot while the kid recovered. They also bond over having a murder record haha...

Mara, the shadow from another world, is the one who dragged Ollie out of the collapsing factory. She's his healer (I refuse to say "doctor" lmao, NO doctors allowed!), she watched over him while he was in recovery. He simply didn't trust anyone else. This girl at least saved his life and fixed his wounds. Maybe she can be trusted. Maybe. A sympathetic little alien who took everyone to safety.

Bonus points for both Mara and Lu being technically immortal. Mara has the lifespan of a star and Lu is made of regenerative fungus. So yeah, they are a kind of comfort for Ollie. Even if he never reconciles with Poppy or finds a way to make everyone immortal (there's a lot of talk about why this is unethical from Mara), eternity won't be lonely for him.

Of course their relationship wasn't very amicable at first as Oliver was on guard all the time, expecting everyone to trick or hurt him 😞 buuut he learnt to at least somewhat trust them quite soon when he realized they didn't want to hurt him
