can you guys tell how normal i am about this silly little guy
anyway i have a silly guy i wish to share
i don't think i've talked about him much at all to anyone except for my friends but i love him and i figured i should bring him into the world because i am normal about him
so. his name is basalt
he's a version of murder,,
and so like.
basically, in my main 'au' of sorts, murder is besties with reaper [my reaper is nicknamed thanatos so yeah :3]
because after he actually managed to beat the player [the player gave up 💀💀], he was just kinda. left alone in dusttale
until thanatos showed up to reap the dead of dusttale :3
now usually, normal Guys™ can't see him
but sometimes, rarely, those with high LV can
and murder just so happens to have very high LV
so he can see thanatos
he sees him just like walking around
and he's kinda like 'huh. that's sus,,,' bc he killed everyone and WHY is there a dude
first he just brushes it off as a hallucination
because he is VERY aware that he's insane and schizophrenic
but then he keeps seeing him just about everywhere
so one day
he decides to check it out
and he goes up to thanatos and is just like 'yo. dude. who tf are you'
and then thanatos is obviously surprised that he's been noticed
so he's just kinda like 'oh yea so uhhh,,, im the grim reaper or something,,,'
and murder's like 'wha- so like. why are u here'
and thanatos is just like 'doign my job'
anywya blah blah blah they talk for a while and then thanatos leaves
but then he comes back occasionally
and every time, murder finds him and has a conversation with them
and soon enough thanatos starts coming back even after he's finished his work
and he becomes besties with murder :D
but also like. thanatos doesnt go back to his au anymore cuz he's been coded out of it since he's away from it so often, but thats a story for another day
anyway, they soon become like therapists for each other
thanatos tells murder about interwsting things that happen while on the job and also about his relationship struggles [thanatos has SO much angst and i absolutely love him for it] and murder tells thanatos about how fucked up he is
also there's an alternate timeline in which murder eventually gets cursed alastor cat as a pet but that is not in this timeline [don't ask, it was a silly thought my friend and i had bc my headcanon murder had a cat named alastor {THAT WAS BEFORE I WAS EVER IN THE HH FANDOM BTW} ] and so yeah
they're therapist besties
but then uh.
thanatos dies [i havent figured out how yet, i will eventually]
and that's when basalt exists!
so basically uh. murder was just kinda handed thanatos's powers and job
and thanatos TOLD him this would happen if he ever were to die, since he basically has to choose an heir to hand his power to [and he has a shit ton of kids, but all of his kids hate him so he didn't want to put that on them]
which this is how basalt finds out about thanatos's death
and he's just kinda shocked because how the fuck does the grim reaper die
buuut he eventually uh. just accepts it
and becomes rhe grim reaper
he has no friends until further notice
im gonna draw him but i made him in gacha [yes i am a gacha kid, cry about it]
anyway
his design is under the cut
he is a skele btw
i just can't make skeles in gacha
also im going to change his design bc i made it too colourful [it's a habit :,)] and too complicated in a weird way that i cant draw
his outfit makes like zero sense even to me
