I’m a little over a week into this blog endeavor, and I keep having misgivings about the entire thing. It just doesn’t quite...feel like it’s going anywhere. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of fun to be had here, but I’m just not happy with it.
Before I get too into the self-loathing here, I’m gonna try a solution that might help.
Y’all ready for a motherfucking AU?
So, as you'll see if you look through basically any thread in here, this angry little jelly is a bundle of confused emotions and memories. It lashes out, it picks fights with almost every Guzma it meets, but ultimately it has become human, at least to an extent.
Here, we’re going in a bit of a grittier direction, with a beastie who is a little less chatty and a lot more violent. Suddenly gaining full sentience hasn’t had a good effect on it, so it spends most of its time meandering around Alola, murdering the fuck out of any human or Pokémon it comes across just because it can. It’s basically an eldritch serial killer.
Sure, it still has mannerisms and some vague memories from ya boy Guzma, but rather than trying to work these out to find some kind of stability, this Verse has the little Nihilego fueled by nothing but sadism and rage. It’ll take great pleasure in fucking up anyone or anything connected to Guzma or the rest of Team Skull, and don’t even get me started on what it’ll do to Aether employees.
This is an outlet for me to get in some of the less friendly aspects of the character I want to explore, without making it too hard to work out just what the hell is going on with the muse’s personality. There will be violence, chaos, bloodshed, all that fun stuff; so if you’re the squeamish sort, you probably don’t wanna bother with this.
I hereby dub this experiment: Monster Verse. I’ll be tagging stuff for it as #v: monster, and will start tagging everything else as #v: main, just to keep things straight. I’ll get something up about this either on the About or Rules/Guidelines pages soon, but this little PSA is just to toss this shit out there.
Reblog this if you want, send me questions, offer sacrifices to the jelly--whatever you want. Go nuts. I know I’m going to.
