yo whats that weevil doing

[nonbinaryriverclan]

quite possibly the nichest crossover ever but I think if these two ever met they’d either be the closest of friends or bitter rivals

runaway au. hit ask

Sure, I'll explain it for the Tumblrlings.

STARISM AU: THE RUNAWAY

(A.K.A. Runaway!AU)

This is a mostly Msirats-focused AU which diverges from canon from the end of The Classic. It is…very angsty (Local Angstlord Allie here is gonna love that—) and everyone is shockingly bad at communication/coping (be nice — they don't know what a normal social interaction is).

In Runaway!AU, Star doesn't think to confront Msirats about their issues. After a short while, Msi reaches their breaking point and impulsively uses the portal in Star's house to get anywhere else and start a new life. It pans out pretty poorly.

Info under the cut — this post is kind of long!

Msirats — now going by "Bitti" as their preferred name — has nothing but the few items from Star's house that they managed to take with them. With little other choice, they become a dimension hopper, taking any portals they can find in their search for a good place to settle and anything to ward off their constant dysphoria.

The isolation from running away from the only people they knew and never stopping long enough to form meaningful connections with anyone new is eating away at them. Despite their complicated relationship with Starism and the ways he hurt them, Bitti misses him. When they aren't busy trying to survive or cover ground, sometimes they wonder whether things could have ended differently, or whether Star would care about their absence at all.

When Starism finds his portal already active, he is initially confused. It doesn't take long for everything to add up (Msirats' mysterious disappearance; everything they said during The Classic…) and when he realises what happened, panic sets in with full force. He tries to give chase, but there's a glaring issue: Bitti's patterns of jumping across so many dimensions has made them virtually impossible to track down.

Star isn't sure what exactly led up to this moment: he's stuck in a state of denial trying to defend his actions to himself, especially when he didn't know Msi well enough to have known how much they were suffering. Eventually, he figures that he can't keep living in a void either, and looks for a new dimension to move to. He ends up moving to Starcade Ultimate like in canon and does Season 3 as usual, just without Bitti to keep him company. He probably acts more recklessly than in canon because nobody's keeping him in check.

Strasm's a bit worried for Bitti based off their sudden disappearance. It likely hangs around Starism even more for companionship, even if their friendship isn't really mutual.

Strasm has possibly stumbled into Bitti once or twice, much to its relief. It doesn't completely understand what they're going through, though. If a way out of this mess exists, it might involve Strasm. They just don't know that.

me and gang if we were four people in a discord vc

(hi @subtle-foreshadowing @false-seraphim @saltphobia)

[star-saiior]

shit, i guess we fiddyposting now

(drawings are from my shared magma whiteboard with @subtle-foreshadowing except for the first one)

don't take the third or fourth drawings too seriously

seeing him always makes me feel like [the wojaks pointing meme]… they give me more brainrot than they really should

(no. 1 fiddy fan, no one else gives as many shits about them like i do trust…)

he definitely comes across as a greedy asshat (mostly because novaum employs him to sell the most god-awful products no matter how annoying the methods are) and i want to hit him with a mallet…

…but he's so PATHETIC at the same time?? he wants to seem charismatic, but in reality the bastard is so lonely that he decided to MOVE IN next to some of the only people he sees at work on a regular basis, which (unless fiddy is involved in a novaum conspiracy to keep an eye on star/bitti for the foreseeable future) i think is a little depressing. and when he's not showing sometimes disingenuous overenthusiasm, he usually either looks frustrated (when things aren't going his way), or DOWNRIGHT MISERABLE. like…LOOK AT HIS FACE 😭😭

And now it's time for my Midnight Ramblings as usual!

I just need to yap and clear my head from current thoughts of this stupid motherfucker right now. Most of them are impulsive Fiddy headcanons without much thought. I…don't know whether this is comprehensible!

fiddy has unknowingly become attached to the rest of the main characters over time and only realised this when it was too late. it's rare to actually bond with random customers, especially when your job leaves you constantly occupied with more potential buyers by the day… but after a couple run-ins with those new partners (and an event or two)…fiddy found that he kind of liked being around them? he would deny the idea of this being anything personal: surely he only liked it because he knew he could make a fair number of transactions with them if he tried hard enough, ensuring a secure profit. good old-fashioned stability, and nothing more than that… …but stability IS the perfect foundation to build real, genuine connections on—

actually, this guy represses multiple i think. their emotions and thoughts are bubbling just under the surface of what is visible (especially when he is "not legally allowed" to disclose some of his opinions??), but if they're distracted or not thinking clearly those things can sometimes slip out (he's not THAT good at repressing bc he's kind of impulsive and a yapper by nature, but it's enough to stay fairly composed). he cares more than the average person about how he is perceived and WILL maintain a positive persona whenever it is feasible (sometimes it's genuine, sometimes it's a bit less).

they are also the type of person to aggressively defend themself if they feel wronged in any way whenever it's viable but they have standards and will just stop if they think it's not worth the effort

i don't think fiddy has a lot of friends if any lmao. he is such a LOSER (affectionate). he probably craves the attention of others [don't go; listen to what i have to say; i'm important enough to be taken seriously!!] which does motivate him more when he has to sell things.

THAT FIDGET SPINNER IS ONE WEAK BASTARD. he's not especially good in any particular physical field and in a fight against any other main character, fiddy loses lmfao (the only one i'm unsure of is bitti, because i don't know their capabilities). star has fucking explosion powers; what does this guy have??

i don't know what i'm on about here — this one is just a shot in the dark. ⬇️

this might need to be part of an AU or otherwise because canon is NOT ready for ts, but hear me out: fiddy as a parental/older sibling figure to strasm (as a dynamic, not legal custody).

wait. i'm thinking about the reSTARt AU. being the last person to interact with star, msi/bitti and strasm pre-corruption and still remembering it feels like it's just begging for angst. even though fiddy would fully well know that he had no control over the situation/the worst-case scenario was avoided (kinda), i think they'd still feel rightfully upset and a little guilty. what if he couldn't bring himself to see strasm or bitti/msi again (to see the shells of people who are similar but not quite the partners he knew feels wrong. it all feels deeply wrong)? it's not like they'll need him anyways. he bounces back, finds sales opportunities elsewhere and acts like he's as fine as ever. if he thinks about them too much, he isn't.

[collapses onto the floor. here's an extra magma wb guy as penance for this long-ass post <3]
