I wanna start talking about the au online and such especially since I plan on eventually doing some art and writing + having friends that??? Wanna make and have made art for my au?? Insane. So this is a sorta semi masterpost. Questions about the au are like always welcome.
What’s it about?
Break The Narrative is basically an au with Click Clack (and later on Thespius) at the focus. Basically, the sorta figurative wall that keeps Click Clack from fully affecting the narrative of his world and such gets broken. Things that he would narrate without acknowledging are now things he can fully acknowledge and he can now enter something known as The Narrative Void. The more he tries to edit The Narrative, however, the more that things go awry in ways he could never predict. It eventually turns into them trying to control the “script” of the world, nearly destroying it in the process.
Timeline of events below the readmore
- Someway, somehow, something goes wrong and that little like glass wall between Click Clack and the game narrative gets cracked and breaks
- Click Clack can now actively interact directly with the script of the universe he’s in. Full awareness and such
- It’s a good story, but, well, the god of storytelling can always do a few edits
- butterfly effect of all time, he edits one thing, something else changes in a way he didn’t want
- hm. Click Clack vc well i can fix this <bearer of the curse
- He cant fix this, actually. Every time he edits the script something goes wrong. What the fuck. He’s the god of storytelling he’s supposed to be the editor of everyone’s stories how is this not going right
- it gets to a point where he’s actively fighting the narrative and the narrative is reacting to his meddling. Imagine if you had dev tools but the dev tools were calling you a bitch. That’s where Click Clack is at
- Of course, no one else has awareness of the narrative bc Click Clack was the one that would narrate it out loud. The wall is much stronger for everyone else. But they can see that he’s getting so much worse mentally and it’s. Strange
- Like hey. Is click clack supposed to be melty and have a cracked mask. Wgat the fuck is happening
- also him often going missing from his domain. Which just can’t be good
- Click Clack just wants to get some kind of control over the narrative at this point. It’s not about editing the story now it’s that he wants to have control over the story because the story keeps fighting him
- it gets so bad, in fact, that the narrative goes “ah, but this is a love story, isn’t it”
- You Can Now Play As Thespius(/ref)
- Now Thespius has narrative awareness. Which is *insane* to be hit with bc at this point Click Clack is like in a full spiral
- Because like. How long has Click Clack been messing with the narrative? How long as he been going back and forth? How long has Thespius been unaware of Click Clack going through all of this???
- Click Clack is aware of the narrative. Then Thespius becomes aware of the narrative. Then Click Clack realizes that Thespius is Aware Now
- Oh god. Oh fuck. Oh no. Click Clack wake up you fucked up big time your not-boyfriend knows what you’ve done. You dumb bitch
- Click Clack gets worse because instead of being like “oh Thespius is worried because he cares” he’s like FUUUUUUUCK EVERYTHING BAD FOREVER I NEED TO BLOW UP
- So he keeps fucking with the narrative. He keeps changing things, it’s getting to the point where everything’s just breaking completely. Everything he tries to fix gets worse. He’s the god of storytelling and he can’t even fix the story.
- uhhh something something Break The Narrative name drop. Sorry
- End up in front of a glitched out rift that’s freaking the fuck out, he’s a big inky just absolute mess of a monster. He’s only just barely recognizable through a mask that’s just pieces by now
- Thespius is standing on the spire. The realization hits him that he’s been played into the most convoluted roleswap known to man.
- He’s the villain now. Of course he is. Of fucking course he is.
- of course, at this point, a few other gods have caught on as well. Keeping with the convoluted roleswap thing, he gets so upset that he starts trying to rewrite what’s happening.
- he can’t
- why can’t he rewrite the characters
- ….when did he start thinking of them as characters?
- when did his friends stop being people?
- He finally crashes. He gives up and collapses from the stress and exhaustion
- He passes out. The narrative is finally given enough time to fix itself.
- Click Clack wakes up. He’s in his office. What day is it? Is his mask on?
- …Godpoke walks in. It’s. It’s like nothing happened
- ….theres signs, here and there. That this all happened. Things that the story didn’t clean up. Didn’t edit out.
- ….They all know it happened, don’t they. If he remembers then surely the others do too.
- Well. It’s time to resume our play, isn’t it
Thank you for reading, I’ll prob add more to this post over time etc etc
Crackship? No you don't understand it's serious ship to me. You can show me any two (or more) background/minor/unpopular characters interacting and I will become fully invested in their relationship and give myself an aneurism thinking about them. You can tell me the Green Prince wandered distraught into Styx's lair and found solace in his care and loyalty and i will nod along. Pavo can't leave Bellhart so he writes long love letters and has Tipp deliver them to his beautiful wife Last Judge yeah i agree. Sherma and Pilby are besties wielding the power of friendship with deadly force. Sentinel living happily with their two moms Forge Daughter and Fourth Chorus. Mooshka/Garmond old man yaoi 👍 yes
do you have any tma crackships? i just remembered how much i love nikola/jane after seeing your incredibly good nikola (cant wait to see her in color if you're going to color her btw!!!!)
Fear not I shall definitely colour her ehehe
As for crackships, well, Michael/Gerry is a crackship, considering they've never met in canon, and Michael/Elias boils down to Elias calling the Distortion an irritant or whatever, so - they're very much crack lmao
I like to also think about Elias/Oliver Banks occasionally. Dunno. Could be a bit fun
BUT a growing part of me is thinking more and more about 'what if gerry was still alive and an avatar of beholding and wouldn't that be funny i need him and elias to angry make out in his office and jon walk in on it and those voyeuristic neurons in his brain just activate-'
some person asked me to draw some shit so i ignored them and drew benny and the courier kissing. also a different bonus for those who think kissing is cringe
I keep hearing people saying that December ‘04 was written for them specifically, and I feel the exact same way. This song feels so personal.
This song managed to perfectly capture my feelings of like… Christmas has always been a time when the people I love came together but now my family has changed and it’s sadder and I’m more bitter but still good. And we’re not gonna be kids again who believe in magic and Santa Claus but we can make our own magic I think.
It’s Christmas. It’s the end of the year and I’m thinking about my family again, both near and far, and I just want them to be safe and together for a little bit.
It’s the end of the year again and I’m so tired and my New Year’s resolutions are the same as last year’s and I feel like I can’t change anything in a way that lasts but I’m trying. I’m trying. Let’s give it another year. Let’s give it another go.
It’s another year and I’m different and my faith is different. I still believe in God but it’s harder. I’ve gone farther, so I’ll come back on Christmas and remind myself what I believe in and why. So I’ll believe in you.
