This blog centers around TR:UD content. I write fanfiction for all TRUD characters: scrapped, removed, or otherwise.
(Dynamics with characters such as 4nn1 and Drakobloxxer are strictly platonic.)

⟢ author’s commentary. for a friend :] it’s been centuries since the last trud x reader i think. so i figured i’d make a little contribution to the cause. also ib velvet !! ty king / queen / thing for the inspiration truck
before ‘fading’ into near‑nothingness, john doe is deeply affectionate by nature.
he delights in every form of love language you offer. as long as it comes from you, with the same devotion he gives in return, he’s content. though if he had to choose, he’d lean toward acts of service and words of affirmation. being the son of a prominent admin keeps his hands full - and even a simple encouragement like “you did a good job” is enough to brighten his day.
in giving, he expresses love through physical touch and gift‑giving. though he longs to spend quality time with the one he loves, work often stands in the way - the same goes for acts of service. so whenever he does have time off, he happily pulls you into a hug, soon melting into a warm cuddle.
yet when everything goes wrong, the change is stark.
under the influence of the xploit, both his mind and body shift drastically. if you manage to make him recognize you despite his altered state somehow, all he can do is follow you around. however, it’s still fortunate, in a way, that he doesn’t lash out at you, and even tries to resist the urge to strike the first person he sees. he’ll attempt to protect you, although in his fractured mind that means attacking anything he perceives as a threat - your teammates included.
the safest course is to let him act as he will, buying precious time for your companions. eventually, he’ll lapse into a vacant state, stopping dead in his tracks. that moment becomes your chance to escape from the shell of the man you once loved so dearly.
peak !! thanks for sharing this gng (i lowk feel bad for slingshotter now, damn)
what really interests me is slingshotter's autophobia, his begrudging "alliance" (or whatever it is) with paintballer, and his inability to take accountability for who he has become
inspired a few headcanons actually:
autophobia is described as an intense fear of being alone, ignored, uncared for or being abandoned. im assuming this was something that gradually developed overtime as they grew accustomed to their new environment
which makes me wonder: are robloxians born with set traits? are they blank slates?
because what could have caused slingshotter to become so spiteful? its said that sling spawned in the latest, therefore he didnt have as much time and experience as everyone else had in mastering their techniques. and if brickbattler faced the same predicament, i.e his lack of a ranged ability (maybe he has bad eyesight or the likes), would he not have tried to mentor slingshotter because he understands what it was like in his shoes?
let's say he didn't, (being guarded would make for an interesting character flaw for him to have had and matured out of), or that he hadn't yet matured before paintballer's death. perhaps the doomspirians are extremely competitive people who aren't fond of sharing their battle secrets, so slingshotter had to learn these techniques alone
but you can only ever learn so much on your own. and if he doesn't learn fast — well shit, he's cooked on the battlefield
instead of the losses making him better, they embitter him. its difficult to acknowledge progress when you're surrounded by so many great people, and every small step pales in comparison to their achievements
so if he couldn't get better — if his efforts were useless, then that's when he started living a lie. trapping himself in a bubble. i mean, if he's pushed himself past his best, then who else is there to blame but the people who wouldn't give him a chance?
overtime, maybe doomspirian culture did end up changing, but slingshotter didn't change with them. he's stubborn, stuck in the past. so far up his own ass that he can't see they're trying to reach for him
then only paintballer made it through, because humans can't live without humans and robloxians can't live on their own
slingshotter started seeing some progress. 10 KOs to 11. nice. but now, what he's painstakingly taught himself turns out to be flawed
and thats impossible. because he can't be wrong. never.
this might've pushed paintballer away, dug the distance that made them "not exactly friends." but paintballer still wanted to help slingshotter
let's go back to sling's autophobia. he doesn't want to feel incompetent or be in the wrong, but he doesn't want to be alone, either. maybe he's also tried teaching paintballer things to prove that he's not as inexperienced as they think
altho sling gives very ineffective tactics, paintballer nudges him in the right direction; without outright highlighting the gaps in his logic
imagine if slingshotter was partly responsible for their death, too.
nah. how could it ever be his fault?
he didnt even have half the strength they did to fight back.
