Daydreams
Everyone has dreams. Goals they want to accomplish in their life. Challenges to overcome. Feats to call their own. Everyone has dreams, no matter if they’re human, Heroic Spirit, Deity, or Demon. Everyone deserves a chance to realize their dreams, regardless of their lot in life. Everyone has dreams. Even the Last Master of Humanity, fighting every day to preserve and restore their world, deserves a chance to dream
Faye sat at her desk, notebook out in front of her as she scribbled down her thoughts. Most of the records in Novum Chaldea were digital, as that was just easier to categorize for future use. These notes were personal, and no matter how long she spends typing, Faye could never replicate the sheer comfort of a pencil in her hand.
Between gripping the granite filled wood to the sounds of stone against a paper, it was all soothing to her. She could spend hours doing this alone. Scribbling down her latest daydream, she set down her pencil, covering her eyes with her off hand and letting her writing hand relax. Comforting as writing things by hand was, it still left her with cramps after doing it for hours on end. After her brief rest, Faye continued to write, her thoughts burrowing into her mind like worms in her brain.
Faye was so enticed by this project that she failed to hear the knocking on the door. She also didn’t notice the flowing blonde twin tails of a familiar face moving into the room. Silently, Ereshkigal moved towards her hunched over girlfriend, eager to not disturb her.
Eresh had initially wanted to talk to Faye about something Ishtar had said. Her sister was always too good at getting into her head and sometimes she needed to talk things through with Faye. Rarely was she so hard at work, however, tuning out everything around her. As such, Eresh didn’t want to disturb her. The goddess’s curiosity overwhelmed her, however, and she couldn’t help but lean over the shoulder of her girlfriend to peek at her work.
Eresh: “The sea air whipped at the captain as she stepped out of her cabin, her hand instinctively flying to her tricorn to-“
The young master screamed, falling off her chair and scrambling to cover her notebook as she looked behind her. Eresh’s face was completely stunned as Faye worked through the mortal terror of being seen. With her face beet red and her arms clutching her notebook, Faye managed to get out a stammering of words.
Faye: M-My goddess? How? What? When? How much did you see?
Eresh raised her hands and took a step back. The placating gestures seemed to have worked a little but Faye’s eyes were still wide with fear.
Eresh: I only walked in a moment ago. You were so focused and I didn’t want to distract you.
Faye: You didn’t knock?
Eresh, deadpan: I did. You were so engrossed that you didn’t even notice me! I walked in and saw you so I tried to be careful and not bother you.
Faye: Why did you look over my shoulder?
Eresh: My…curiosity got the better of me. It’s just- I’ve never seen you work so hard or passionately before. It’s like you were on another world.
Faye sighed. Closing her notebook and putting in on her desk and returning to her seat. She spun her chair to face Eresh.
Faye: I was….distracted….
Eresh: I’ll say! You were completely unaware I was even here. Even my aura as a goddess went unnoticed!
Faye: I’m sorry, my goddess.
Eresh feigned a pout, cracking open one eye to see Faye’s reaction.
Eresh: I suppose I can forgive you, but on one condition: You tell me what you were writing!
Faye’s face returned to its flushed state, her eyes suddenly finding the floor extremely interesting as she squirmed in her chair.
Faye: I was…..I was writing a story.
Eresh: What kind of story?
Faye: Just a dumb short story. One about a pirate captain and a mermaid. I just sorta….got the inspiration for it and started putting it to paper.
Eresh: I didn’t know you wrote short stories. Can I read some?
Faye: I-I don’t know, my goddess. They’re not very Good. It’s not like I’m an actual author or anything. Certainly not like Hans or Murasaki…I’m just an amateur…
Eresh gave Faye her best pleading face, complete with puppy dog eyes and a quivering lip. Faye was weak to such methods, and caved almost instantly, reluctantly handing over her flowery notebook to the Queen of Kur.
Eresh began to flip through the various pages. Multiple seemingly unrelated stories filled the lines, their words weaving worlds full of life, vibrancy and detail. Faye watched nervously as Eresh’s eyes went wide when she began to read one story in particular very closely.
Eresh: Faye?
Faye: Yes, my goddess?
Eresh: What’s this story here? Something about an inn-
Faye snatched the notebook from Eresh’s hands, slamming it shut and attempting to hide it with her torso. Her face and ears went red as she tried to find some excuse.
Faye: N-N-Nothing! It’s nothing at all! Nope! Just a draft!
Eresh: There sure was a lot for just a draft. It looked like a full story!
Faye sighed, setting the notebook on her lap.
Faye: That’s because…it is. It was my first fully written idea.
Eresh: The main character’s name was Faye too?
Faye, nodding: Mhm. I….like to write myself in. Sort of an ideal me. In this story I’m an adventurer on a quest to find a cure for a sick friend. I’m brave and strong, full of determination and a sense of justice.
Faye looked down to the floor, her shoulders slumping forward. She closed her eyes before speaking once more.
Faye: So much unlike my actual self.
Eresh: I think you’re brave.
Faye lifted her head slowly, her face riddled with confusion. Clearly the goddess must be flattering her. She wasn’t brave by any means, and she certainly wasn’t strong.
Eresh: I admit, I only got to watch you in Uruk, and wasn’t there for the other singularities and battles you fought, but when you came to my land you were full of bravery and strength. You were determined to save the world and it showed through every action you took. You stood brave in the face of goddess and monsters and even a primordial being.
Eresh got up from her chair and cupped Faye’s face with her hands. Faye could have sworn the light behind Eresh grew more intense as she looked deep into her eyes.
Eresh: You’re the bravest, strongest, kindest, most determined person I’ve ever met, and I’m so happy to have met you.
Faye’s awestruck look turned into a smile as she nodded, Eresh releasing her face and going back to her chair. Faye handed over the notebook once more and Eresh took to her reading with fervor.
Faye: Can I tell you something, my Goddess?
Eresh: Of course, anything.
Faye: I had a dream, before all this happened. Before the Incineration of Humanity, before the Lostbelts….I wanted to be an author. I wanted to write fantastic stories and give people something to enjoy during their darkest moments. Now….now I’m afraid I won’t have that chance. I won’t get time to dream anymore, not with all of this.
Eresh: Faye…..you’re already a light in the darkness of so many people’s lives. Your actions, your kindness, everything you do brings someone joy. You make people happy, and comfort them in their time of need.
Eresh closed the notebook, handing it back to Faye who in turn set it on the desk. Hands in her lap, the young master turned back to the goddess.
Eresh: And for the record, there’s always time to dream. You’re surrounded by inspiration and great authors here. I’m sure your dream will come true, and when it does, your books will save someone’s life.
Faye: You really think so?
Eresh: Faye, I’m the Queen of Kur. I know a thing or two about death.
Faye: Thank you, my goddess.

RexCoatl timeline 2.0
Long ass time ago, not long after I started all this I made a timeline of events that show how the RexCoatl relationship grows. After a long enough time and many more mutuals I've decided the time has come to update it. Also might be messing with the timeline of the game itself.
First order
Post Fuyuki
Rex uses a Catalyst given to him to first summon Quetzalcoatl.
Post Orleans
Rex and Quetz already get very close. Quetz is one of the few people in chaldea Rex can consider a friend.
Post Septem
The two form a pattern of Quetz waking Rex up for breakfast and staying with him at night until he falls asleep.
One day after she leaves him to sleep she senses something wrong and finds he's had a nightmare. Already they've formed a strong enough bond that she can sense these problems.

Post Shinjuku
Quetz and Rex spend a large amount of time together to help Quetz recover from almost losing him to the meteor.

When Columbus remembers his true name he immediately runs away from Rex and Quetz, knowing full well their response to his true identity.

While in the servant universe, Rex and Quetz run into the servant universe version of Quetzalcoatl, known as Slayer. she's very similar to the Doom Slayer, along with power from Yig of Lovecraftian myth.
Nightmares are made real thanks to Caster of Limbo, who then creates a nightmare Quetz.

After an incident in Madrid, Rex gains pseudo-servant powers.
In a dream, Rex meets the woman Quetz is possessing, and she reassures him the true feathered serpent loves him.
Post Chaldea
Rex and Quetz move to the Yucatan, to begin their lives together.
Quetz becomes a professional luchadora, while Rex starts working in magecraft.
They eventually start a family, but Quetz is forced to retire from Lucha.
Twin children are born, Maria and Eduardo.
Twins display their own authority, Mari seemingly a death goddess and Ed a rain god.
A/N: there it is. I mostly focused on important events, and I skipped around a bit towards to end since there's still plenty of story for fgo but I already have post chaldea ideas.

Kapitel 10: Diving
Auf Koh Tao gelandet habe ich mich direkt von der Fähre zur Tauchschule begeben. Aus Erzählung hatte ich gehört, dass sie oft Kurs und Unterkunft kombiniert anbieten, wodurch man ein bisschen Geld sparen kann. Gleichzeitig war es auch spannend, ob die Schule tatsächlich noch einen Kurs für mich anbieten kann, da ich Deutschen, die wir auf Koh Samui kennengelernt haben, die Tauchschule empfohlen hatte und sie schon einen Tag vor mir mit dem deutschsprachigen Instrukteur einen Kurs angefangen hatten. Zum Glück konnten sie einen zweiten Deutschen organisieren, bei dem ich dann quasi Einzelunterricht bekommen konnte! Außerdem hatten sie noch Platz in dem zugehörigen Hostel, wodurch auf einen Schlag alle organisatorischen Dinge für die nächsten Tage geklärt waren. Entsprechend richtete ich mich kurz im Hostel ein und war mit dem Inder aus meinem Zimmer in einem Restaurant, das er empfohlen hatte, Abendessen. Keine gute Idee - die halbe Nacht rumorte mein Magen und das Essen wollte schnell wieder aus meinem Körper.
Keine guten Voraussetzungen für den Kurs am nächsten Tag.
Auch am Morgen fühlte ich mich elend und wollte die ganze Sache eigentlich kippen, aber die andern Deutschen überzeugten mich, mit ihren Erzählungen von den Tauchgängen, die Zähne zusammenzubeißen und trotzdem den ersten Tag zu absolvieren. Zum Glück, denn nach den theoretischen Inhalten am Vormittag hatte sich mein Magen halbwegs beruhigt und ich konnte mit den andern aufs Boot und zum ersten Tauchgang am Japanese Garden. Dort absolvierte ich die ersten Versuche und Übungen in 6 Meter Tiefe. Dort hatte ich kurz Zweifel, ob ich mich so weit entfernt von der Oberfläche wohlfühle. Nach den Übungen tauchten wir jedoch durch das angrenzende Korallenriff und die Zweifel waren wie verflogen. Wahnsinnig beeindruckend! So nahm ich am nächsten Tauchspot, dem Twin Peak, den zweiten Dive in Angriff. Dort lief alles wie am Schnürchen und ich habe dort Anemonenfische und einen Rochen gesehen. Der erste Tag war somit trotz schlechtem Start und Aufregung vor dem ersten Tauchgang sehr erfolgreich. Abends beschäftigte ich mich mit den ersten Lektionen für die theoretische Prüfung, aber noch halbwegs im Unimodus überhaupt kein Thema.
Trotz der ganzen positiven Erlebnisse schlief ich in der Nacht etwas unruhig - das Abtauchen verursacht jetzt noch hohen Blutdruck, wenn ich nur dran denke.
Der zweite Tag verlief ähnlich wie der erste - Vormittags Theorie und Nachmittags wieder auf und ins Meer. Dieses Mal fuhren wir zur Hin Wong Bay, um die letzten praktischen Übungen zu machen. 50 Minuten Tauchgang und absolut keine Probleme - der ganze Stress ist absolut Kopfsache. Erstmal im Wasser waren also wieder alle Bedenken verschwunden. Das absolute Highlight war Tauchgang Nummer 4 am Lighthouse. Ein gigantisches Riff und klarste Sicht erzeugten den Eindruck von einem Besuch im besten “Seaworld” überhaupt. Absolut der Moment, den ich mir vom Tauchen erhofft hatte. Begeisterung pur! Abends wieder kurz Theorie und eine etwas ruhigere Nacht, aber trotzdem war wieder die Anspannung zu spüren. Also doch kein Taucher mit Herz und Seele oder einfach zu wenig Erfahrung?
Am letzten Tag absolvierte ich meine Prüfung mit 100% und machte mich mit dem Tauchlehrer (übrigens Steven aus Thüringen) auf den Weg zu den letzten zwei Dives. Da es in der Nacht monsunartig geschüttet hatte, war das Meer unruhig und aufgewühlt. Ungefähr so ging es mir auch 😄 Beim ersten Abtauchen beim Red Rock musste ich kurz wieder an die Oberfläche, um nochmal Luft zu schnappen und um mich zu beruhigen, aber anschließend alles in Ordnung. Auch dieses Mal: Kopfsache! Nur etwas schwerer, da wir auf 18 Meter abtauchten und die Sicht extrem schlecht war. Abtauchen ohne den Grund zu sehen war dann doch eine noch größere Herausforderung.
Der zweite Tauchgang am White Rock verlief wieder problemlos. Wieder konnten wir Rochen sehen und sogar den Triggerfish. Ein fieser Kollege der seine Rückenflosse aufstellt, wenn man in sein Revier taucht und beißt! Deshalb haben wir immer etwas Abstand gehalten.
Insgesamt waren die Tauchplätze richtig schön, die Sicht jedoch so bescheiden, dass ich ziemlich enttäuscht von den Fundives (Tauchgänge ohne Übungen) war.
Zur Feier des bestandenen Tauchscheins traf ich mich mit den anderen Deutschen zum Abendessen und Feiern. Entgegen meines ersten Eindrucks von Koh Tao kann man auf der Insel auch sehr gut feiern. Davon hatten wir beim ersten Aufenthalt, aber auch wirklich überhaupt gar nichts mitbekommen. Ein gutes Ende eines zweiten Aufenthalts mit vielen neuen Erfahrungen und Eindrücken. Nach einer Stunde Schlaf machte ich mich auf den Weg zur Fähre nach Surat Thani und von dort nach Krabi, wo Luca fies erkältet schon auf mich wartete.

People of the Galactic Horde (the OGs)
Since I'm working on a Horde Prime origin story, it was inevitable that one day I would have to come up with designs for his species aka the original spacebats. And well, it was a fun challenge!
(click/tap to have a better look!) My first attempt at drawing other bats was with the High Priests of the Four Temples - the most influential and powerful people on the planet, also known as Anillis'/Prime's teachers :)
Tumblr media
See that last guy? That's the emperor of the original Galactic Horde! Though after his unexpected early death his wife had to become the new Prime. Gladly, Horde World was not left without a future heir to the throne^^
Tumblr media
Fun thing is, I never planned on making designs for Anillis' parents, since they never appear in the actual story + even the twins don't remember what they looked like. But idc making fanparents is fun! (In my vision Horde Prime inherited the death stare from his mother and the sly misleading smile from his father >:} )
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I talk more about the characters and worldbuliding in my fic "Violent Youth". U can find the link in my pinned post)
I also had to design tons, and I mean tons of episodic characters of all ages, genders and backgrounds. Now after all this training I'm ready to fill the backgrounds with bats :3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some general notes on the people of the Horde under the cut
Every spacebat is born with a white face. Any deviations were rare and considered a type of skin condition
Facial markings slowly appear once baby bats hit puberty. When spacebats' white faces were seen as blank canvases, the facial markings were their life journey drawn on said canvases. The markings were seen as the real window to the soul. Having no marks as an adult was simply outlandish, people of Krytis even had a belief that such bats "had nothing behind their soul" and thus could not be trustworthy
Facial markings (as well as ears) came in many forms. In ancient times one could tell in which of the four original provinces a person was born by simply looking at their faces. Nowadays it became nearly impossible to guess someone's homeland this way (mostly everyone are people of mixed descent), but to those curious this is how bats used to distinguish one another by their markings:
North - straight lines across/all over the face (e.g. the emperor)
South - wavy lines across/all over the face e.g. (the High Priestess of the Southern temple)
West - straight minimalistic lines (e.g. horde clones)
East - wavy minimalistic lines (e.g. the empress)
Hair never held much cultural significance on Krytis, so the styling was only a question of one's personal preference and fashion trends. Some bats (mainly from the south) saw no point in having hair whatsoever - those would choose to go bald or shave parts of the head to better show off their markings
Everyone had one set of eyes. Only local deities were sometimes depicted having 3 and more eyes. And yes, their eyes and teeth do glow in the dark
I wanted to make colorful bats to futher emphasise their whimsical and peaceful nature :) Well, if u think about it many poisonous creatures are colorful too...
I wouldn't be myself if I didn't say anything about local fashion. I don't have my own concepts at hand sadly, just references, but my main inspiration for the fashion of Krytis are late 90s-early 00s futurism and cyber aesthetic. Here and there u will also see smth similar to mall goth or streetwear style, but it's mostly something what young blood were into
Some bats like the royal family and council members would wear more classy and regal clothes but still more or less modern looking. Such choice of attire was espeically important to the empress, who, unlike her late husband, stayed far away from religion and magic and made it the main goal of her campaign to weaken the influence of the religious community and push for scientific and socio-cultural progress
If you have any questions about the people of the Horde/Krytis, feel free to ask! I'm always happy to talk more about this AU!

Childhood of Horde Prime
Tumblr media
This work is an introduction to the Kur Twins AU (which main story will be told in the form of a comic)
Kur Twins AU is my vision of Horde Prime's origin story. Some ideas that get explored in the AU:
Horde Prime starts out as a "normal" mortal person, he's not even a royalty
Prime (Anillis Kur at the time) had an identical twin (Hec-Tor Kur)
Young Prime suffers from the same "defect" as Hordak
He and Hec-Tor were mistaken for two local deities by the religious community
Krytis is Prime's homeplanet
--------------------------------------- Well, so much for me thinking that giving Prime an angsty childhood is cringe and boring
This thing is long af, but I still hope you’ll enjoy :}

"Ah yes, white and silver - colors of Purity and Innocence"
Tumblr media
It's supposed to be one of the illustrations for the upcoming big Kur Twins AU post*, but I accidentally put too much effort into this, so now it deserves its own post lol. Take it as a tiny sneak peek
Soo imagine finding old photograpths of your family members and unlocking some forbidden lore of their past? Now imagine how Hordak would feel in this situation ._.
Spoiler: he's not going to take it very well
***
Some context:
In Horde Prime's homeworld white garments and silver jewellery were seen as distinctive attributes of the religious elite. But this um.. peculiar ensemble consists specifically of elements of the traditional costume worn by temple dancers for festive rituals and ceremonies
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Performing as temple dancers was supposed to be one of their many duties, but since Anillis and Hec-Tor left their community before they could even finish their training, the two never had a chance to perform in front of a large audience
Thus, to celebrate their first night in the "outside world", the brothers dressed up in their ceremonial clothes and danced... at a local strip club. People loved them ;}
The twins made sure that certain people saw them as well and (hopefully) finally understood what the Kur brothers truly think about the roles that were prepared for them
*I've decided to post the whole thing on ao3 once its finished, since it's too big for tumblr now ooOPS. Still debating on how I'm going to post it here - maybe I'll only pick the most interesting parts and make it a series of posts. We'll see

Hello, for the ask meme, 2, 56 and 59 for Anillis and Hec-Tor ♪▲ Please take your time :3
Thank you for the ask!^^ 2. What is your character’s favorite memory? The twins cherish the memories of their first ever day in the "outside world". They celebrated like it was their second birthday :) Now its been years since that day and all that Hec-Tor can remember is the relief he felt after leaving the temple and the slow realization that he was finally free to live his life however he wanted And the only thing Anillis still remembers is Tori's excitement Just watching his brother have the time of his life and noticing the spark in his eyes that wasn't there before managed to warm his heart. It was the first time in Anillis' entire life when another person's happiness was more important to him than his own 56. What’s one of your character’s quirks? Anillis - he's a foodie with a sweet tooth :з He always loved food, especially tasting "exotic" sweets from distant planets and galaxies, and ever since he left the community he's been healing his inner child by enjoying all the delicious food he was not able (or rather not allowed) to try before
Tumblr media
Hec-Tor - I haven't had a chance to show it in my art yet, but he's very flexible (thanks to the temple dancers' training which included some gymnastics) and likes to show off at every given opportunity. Anillis used to be capable of pulling off varoius stunts as well, but even before his condition made it nearly impossible he didnt find it fun or something worth bragging about. Hec-Tor, however, is VERY proud of this ability :) and yes he does show off while wearing a mini-dress, nobody does it like him (he has shorts underneath dont worry lololol) 59. What is your least favorite thing about your character?
Hate hate hate the fact that these two are actually very smart. Im no girl in stem and these idiots are making clones of themselves in their basement like its nothing 😭 I try not to focus on them talking science and avoid it as much as the story allows it but I know that one day I'll have to explain how Anillis made mind transfer possible and my dumb ass dreads that moment

Tumblr media
Bury me on a flower field
But don't cover my withered eyelids
So that at least something will sprout out of them
Since a happy person has not grown out of me
[Дарья Виардо - Ангел похоронитель]
-----------------------------------------
Had a sudden urge to draw the third page for that one entrapdak fam comic I did a while ago :))))
I know explaining your own art is cringe and pretentious but I want to scream about this page so bad so please don't mind my silly commentary ><
Forgot to add, but here Anillis also calls Hordak "Poppy!". The very first thing baby Prime did when he saw Hordak was to give him a name (or rather a nickname)
Сomparing Hordak's eyes with poppy flowers, Anillis literally shows acceptance and appreciation for his imperfections, the very "defect" his (Prime's) future self will despise so much
Literally everything about the song and it's lyrics makes me wanna go feral gpfohpfphp (but it's so hard to translate i hate it here might've missed translation error too :/)
Hordak looking so lost, and vulnerable and younger and so full of HOPE-
I'm still unsure whether or not everything holo-Anillis did and said was pre-recorded so this part is up to interpretation
Either way, it's still not Prime who talks to Hordak and gives him the flower and smiles at him with joy and excitement. Prime is dead
AND THE FLOWER IS NOT REAL
also NOT a fun fact: In spacebats' culture a term "Flower eyes" was sometimes used when reffering to someone who is dead (and the fact that Anillis is pointing at his eye aka at himself HELP)
As well as they symbolize remembrance and eternal sleep(death) poppy flowers are also associated with sleep in general. In that case, could this image of Anillis be a hint that neither Hordak nor Kadroh are fully "awake" yet and still need to open their eyes to some things about themselves, their past and their dead tyrant brother? I dunno c:
Again, I'm so completely normal about this comic and this AU like-

15 and 53 for the ask meme?
15: What music genre would your character listen to? It pains me to say this, but Anillis and Hec-Tor are that kind of people who don't listen to music much and don't have much of a preference They only passively listen to whatever is on the radio atm. Loud pop or club music? Fine. Something more niche? Ok. Calming classical or ethnic music? Yeah sure whatever. The twins really don't care what to listen to, anything is fine with them, just dont make them listen to one of those songs they make temple kids sing for every holiday - they are annoying
53: What clubs would your character join?
If their temple duties count then they sure used to be members of many clubs) Choir, dancing, weekly readings and all that Then there were actual clubs at their new school - Anillis was in robotics club and Hec-Tor joined natural science club, focusing more on chemistry and biology
Ever since the two left the temple Hec-Tor tried joining various clubs only to leave after a month or two because of course
Anillis on the other hand... well the scientific community of the Horde Empire is a kind of club too. There's also another elite "club" he would like to join some day - the royal council. And he truly believes he can do it. I mean how can they say no to this special boy? Can't they see that this precious lil angel is the only one who knows what's best for the empire and everyone else in the council is a brainless buffoon fr fr? 👉👈 🥺

4 and 23 for the ask meme!
4. When scared, does your OC fight, flee, freeze or fawn? I'd say at first the twins both freeze to process what's happening and then fight But what's funny - the older Anillis and Hec-Tor get the worse they get at recognizing the danger They've grown to become so entitled and stubborn that they believe nothing bad can ever happen to them. What I mean is - the boys have zero self preservation skills and it kinda helps them not to feel fear in potentially dangerous and creepy situations They're also way too curious, they cannot be stopped by the chilling sounds, total darkness, creepy strangers etc. They would only get scared by, say, a feral beast, after it already bit their heads off. Kur twins have no fear - they move forward and ignore all the warning signs X) (Anillis and Hec-Tor would totally die if they were in a horror movie lol) 23. What emotion is the hardest for your OC to process? How about express?
The hardest emotion to process - discomfort, for both of them. Anillis and Hec-Tor always yearn for attention and appreciation and they're ready to do anything to get it, be it participating in strange rituals, overworking themselves or accepting romantic gestures. And everytime it takes them so long to recognize their discomfort, to realize that they don't actually like what they're doing and how it makes them feel, that this feeling is unpleasant and they want it to go away The hardest emotion to express - grief, sadness, anxiety. They try so hard to keep this image of flawless confident people and in their minds it can be ruined by simply showing the "ugly" unappealing side of sadness or exposing their weaknesses It was always hard for the boys to deal with these emotions. At first there was their mother who would get annoyed every time the twins would remind her of their existence (especially by crying). Then their parents died, the twins coudnt cry for them and felt weird yet everyone else was happy about it for some reason, confusing them even more. Then there were their caretakers who would ignore the brothers when they were upset or worse - try to manipulate and use them whenever the two were at their most vulnerable Eventually Anillis and Hec-Tor learned to supress these emotions and now the brothers feel like they can't even cry anymore. Physically unable to. They have to literally force the tears out of themselves, cough the cry up, vomit it out - they cant just let these emotions out even if they want to Emotional neglect is no joke fr

Kur twins, number se7en :>
7. What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them? Anillis: i think i've already talked about this, so i'll be short this time. That little shit used to be too damn mean. Especially to Hec-Tor. Too manipulative, too controlling and lowkey even cruel. So mean that it seemed like he didnt even like his brother that much and his love was mostly fake Like at it's core my AU is a story about siblings' love (and I actively use Anillis' relationship with his brother to humanize this version of HP) but it wouldn't work at all if Anillis was always just like Prime and was just as awful to his twin brother as he was to his clones Hec-Tor: at first he wasn't really a character, only an idea. So for a long time I had no idea what his place in the world was or who he was outside of being Prime's twin. I tried giving him various careers/hobbies to see which would not only suit his character but also work for the story. Like at one point he was a soldier, then he was a neurosurgeon, then a nurse, then historian and ethnographer and so on and so forth. Once his character was further developed I realized that I coudn't see him sticking to one profession anymore, and this jumping from one interest to another was exactly what he would do instead. Thus the current Hec-Tor is a careless med school student waiting till the end of his second semester to finally peace out and go look for smth more fun X) khm and he only chose med school because of Anillis khm This quirk of his also further connects Hec-Tor to the clones. Who also (seemingly) didnt play just one role depending on their rank or their skills but instead they all worked multiple jobs and would switch from one post to another at Prime's will Furthermore, after the disconnect freed clones will be given such a variety of opportunities and choices to make and exciting experiences to have in this new world that some of them will definately want to try a little bit of everything, just like Hec-Tor :)

Kur twins AU update
Finally finished that huge essay about Horde Prime's childhood! Overall 11k words worth of exposition, lore dumping and anecdotes (with illustrations!)^^ It ain't much but it's honest work
All that's left is to figure out how to post this mess on ao3 :/
While I'm working on that, here's a fun trivia fact about spacebats's culture that didn't make it into the essay:
To them She-Ra wasn't a real person, but somewhat of a post-war urban legend. Veterans loved to spook young blood with stories about the First Ones' failed experiment that looked humanoid but was strong and deadly like a machine. She-Ra was supposed to be used as a weapon during the war against spacebats, but on the way to the battlefield she seemingly lost her mind and went on a rampage, killing her own people. No longer able to control her, the First Ones took her magical sword and left corrupted She-Ra somewhere on the outskirts of Krytis*. Legend says that She-Ra is still alive and to this day she's roaming the planet in search of her sword
Based on the legend, there was a popular game among children where they'd try to summon She-Ra as a dare. Some kids were even coming up with crazy stories about She-Ra actually appearing in some people's homes and killing entire families
And of course, the Kur brothers wouldn't be themselves if they didn't try it as well

She-Ra was indeed Horde Prime's oldest enemy
*yup in this AU Krytis is HP's homeplanet :)

7, 18, 21 for anilis + hec-tor
7- What do you like most about this character?
There's so much about them that I love, but if i had to choose just one thing I'd say... their whole vibe
The twins are such a delight to write and draw because I always wanted to write a character like that - an arrogant petty bastard full of sass who is also a scary fucked up creature who is also just a fun fabulous bubbly girl :p Someone with whom you can never tell when they're real and when they're fake
And now I have two(2) characters like that, which is even more fun! The comedic duo ever And for that Anillis and Hec-Tor are also very interesting to explore. To try and figure out how a person like that would react to a tragedy, cope with an illness or personal failure, how would they show love, what would it take to make them open up or cry real tears Again, the twins are so fun to write, even when its their most serious and angsty moments
18- What’s something you associate this character with? E.g. a certain colour, object or scenery?
Oooh, many things! Color green (duh), peacocks, stars and cosmos, narcissus flowers/daffodils Also water. Water element in general and, more specifically, bodies of water like pools, ponds and underground lakes (the grip that mtn dew purification pool has on me is unimaginable) What else? Biblically accurate angels, marmalade and jelly (duhx2), porcelain dolls, abandoned buildings... Too many things!
21- Wild card! Talk about anything to do with this character! Anything at all!
Okay so I recently went to check Horde Prime's wiki page and I saw the paragraph where it was speculated that the 80s Prime might've had two heads. That's when a connection hit me. And now I have an AU within another AU X)
Basically it's "Kur brothers but they're siamese twins". But I like to call it "Spop Prime has two heads now and none of them ever shuts up"
Tumblr media
With all the stuff I need to do rn I barely got the time to put this idea on paper but hopefully one day I'll come back to this AU and make seperate post about it cause it's really fun c:
