More swaps I had to post + VSCobs appearance!

I have. So much lore with them. Help.

Remember, if you have any questions about the AU, you can always send 'em!

Just for brief context of them:

Cabby doesn't rely on luck but staticts and logic! Her files have data for that!

Clover's luck is much more based on her emotions and stuff. So it's a 50/50 thing. Sometimes it might work, sometimes it won't. She takes notes to keep herself updated.

VSCobs... he's kind of a tricky fella. It doesn't matter if Mephone4 brings Cobs again and again, his creator always seems to choose to run away.

heya so random question about the ii gkgg au because i am insane. how does mephone4 view 4s. i must know

Well! This is certainly a question!

"You're only scared of me."

"But you never cared for US."

[Long post ahead]

I did mention that 4s was created aflter Cobs saw how quick MePhone4 was working and learning, wanting to give him an helping hand even if it took some more time for 4s to get finished. Now, 4s got his consciousness just some time before Mephone4 killed Cobs and rebuilted him as a robot. This implies/means that 4s has known Cobs at least for a short period of time before losing his parental figure at the hands of his brother.

However, 4s did make a good team with Mephone4 before that happened. Mephone4 saw 4s as an brother, as an equal, actually treated him with respect and care instead of the way he treated Cobs (with lack of care and generally just in a gray area of "he's just stressed" and "he's completely disappointed on his creator and wants him GONE"). 4s didn't like the way Mephone4 treated Cobs at all but, didn't say a lot about it. 4 IS the leader of the Meeple army after all, there's a reason as to why Cobs would trust him so much, right?

Mephone4 saw potential in 4s. Cobs is an brilliant man, that's all the credit 4 will ever give him truly. He's, after all, a better version of him. But not quite. 4 is cold, calm, charismatic, calculated. 4s is hotheaded, passionate, strong and bold.

He saw him as an useful teammate and... important family, in a way.

But 4s was completely horrorized to see what 4 did to Cobs after. You know.

4 lacks empathy there. He thinks that what he did was going to help everyone. Why have a boss who just lived thanks to his guilt and doubts not let you grow as a company? As products? As them? He made Cobs a favor. He made him useful, made him a leader who didn't fret or stopped at doubts. 4s should be happy. Why wasn't he happy? He did this for everyone.

No one could tell Cobs the truth of what happened. It wasn't even necessary for Mephone4 to threaten the other Meeple products. They knew.

And 4s was fucking terrified. Because if Mephone4 just killed and "replaced" their father like nothing because he was useless, he couldn't bring himself to think about what his own brother could do to him if they tried to get Cobs back to his old self.

Mephone4 even implied it in the way he acted around 4s after that.

It all went down when Cobs found out the truth and got 4s and Mecintosh with him to run away.

Mephone4 felt betrayed over this. Even if he deserved to be left alone by his brother, his once tutor and his "father". But he's not one to have regrets or faults. No. Mephone4 felt disappointed on 4s.

Just like Cobs, he let those emotions get the best of him. Those emotions made him softer. 4s was meant to be reckless, powerful, BETTER than him.

But now, in Mephone4's eyes, he's nothing but worthless.

Saw him as an brother, an equal, an ally. Nowdays, 4s is nothing but a bitter reminder for Mephone4 to never expect anything from anyone, views him as an almost perfect but wasted opportunity.

Nowdays he has MePhone3gs and MePad as his assistants, so he has made sure to shape them the way he wanted them to be to not have another betrayal.

But that's for another post. :]

RJAKSRJASJRASJR hi again. sorry for flooding ur inbox but really random hc about the ii gkgg au because i can: 4s is TERRIFIED of blood. runs away

// blood warning

This is true!

4s is a bodyguard, but one of the things that sets him off the most is, ironically enough, blood. He might be able to show that he doesn't care too much about it, but his body gets tense and he protects whoever he has with him at the moment. It's in him to protect those who can't protect themselves.

They do wonder what caused that fear, though...

But oh well. Those are just the skeletons in the closet.

Headcanon: gkgg!Mephone4 still sounds like Chris McClain

"... so that's why I..."

He's going to kill that man. Again.

As much as Cobs is a good father and genuinely cared for Mephone4, he's a bit of a prankster.

An ask about gkgg au. I would love to know more about Mecintosh! Anything about him. Maybe a fan fact or some lore

Mecintosh! The lil guy ever!!!

I haven't talked a lot about him, but, sure!

Why not both of those?

In terms of lore, Mecintosh knew what happened to Cobs thanks to 4s. Mecintosh started to think of a way to get their creator back without making a mess for them at the end. Mecintosh has always been a very close individual to Cobs, and he considers himself one of Cobs's oldest creations (sons). He took care of some work at Meeple when he was still there and Mephone4 got some upgrades for Mecintosh as well, such as being able to float to make him move around in a easier way, and basically the updates that MePad has too (except for the teleportation one... since 4s takes care of that).

However, he can no longer float since he got damaged when they escaped from Meeple, and Cobs has been trying to fix him, but can't seem to find any parts that fit that upgrade. But Mecintosh doesn't mind. He's pretty happy being held anyway.

In lil fun facts about him:

- His face can do emojis to express his feelings.

- His freckles are holograms.

- He has pc games installed on him.

- His screen is touchable. He doesn't have a mouse after all, so...

- He's the second voice of reason for 4s, after Siri that is.

- He cares deeply for the contestants and seems to worry too much at times.

- He listens to Hatsune Miku.

- Mecintosh can change his voice to whatever the hell he wants it to sound like.

- Mecintosh refers to Cobs as "creator/boss/Mr Cobs" instead of dad or father like 4s does. Mostly out of respect.

- He doesn't like the color cyan.

- He enjoys pastries.

Lil facts about GKGG Cobs:

He's always pretty gentle in his mannerisms, the way he talks or presents himself to others. He's just generally pretty considerate and understanding whatsoever, but he's pretty. Affectionate on the physical matter. Always respecting boundaries and personal space of course.

For example, when Mic was freaking out about there not being an elimination and such, instead of hitting her, all he did was just. Gently pat her head as he continued explaining stuff.

He calls all of the contestants "kiddo" and there's times where he refers to them as his children.

When OJ passes out in S1 due to the whole convo he has with Citrus Juice (that's the name for "Evil OJ" here), Cobs is just panicking and calling the doctor for help, and at the mere moment where OJ wakes up, Cobs gently picks him up and hugs him as he cries just a bit of relief.

OH AND FAN'S AND ASH'S ELIMINATIONS & HOW HE WANTED THEM TO STAY. HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH MARSH BEFORE SHE DIED. HOW HE STILL CARED ABOUT VSCOBS, EVEN IF HE WAS MADE TO LITERALLY BE THE OPPOSITE OF HIS PERSON. HOW HE BAKES PASTRIES FOR THEM. HOW HE DIDN'T WANT TO LET GO.

this grandpa is making me cry

I wonder…

if GKGGMP4 ever looks at his visor and thinks of Cobs if even for a moment (heck maybe even 4’s visor could be because 4 needed glasses at one point and Cobs made him the visor to help. The issue has since been fixed but he still wears the visor out of habit and due to its additional capabilities)

and I wonder if, vice versa, Cobs looks at his own glasses and thinks of MePhone4

just a wondering…

(plz hlsp the angst thoughts are taking over my mind)

Mephone4 has Cobs at the back of his mind. The man has been dead to him ever since the very day he killed him with his own hands, and the day he ran away from him once Cobs knew the truth. The only one that he would call his creator would be the Cobs that didn't remember anything and... VSCobs (the equivalent of 4s here for Cobs), in a way, but not really. But he keeps the visor with him. There's a faint memory of his once father's proud laugh every once in a while he thinks of him. But he quickly pushes it away, thinking that it is anything but important.

He's too convinced on his thoughts about Cobs. He doesn't even bother thinking any other way about his creator. And if he were to consider it, it would be too late anyway. The visor would be the last thing that Cobs ever gave MP4. The last gift of love he gave him. And he doesn't need it anymore. He's advanced, he's the very best of the best, but he uses it. Perhaps he clings on the moments where Cobs was a competent one. But if he hates him so much, then why does he keep on searching?

Cobs thought of MP4 with love and affection once. Just as any father would, that is. He still can't process what happened sometimes. He still can't believe that his creation killed him. He still can't believe that everything went down so badly. He can't still believe that he was living a lie,

but even on that lie, that was the only moment where MP4 and him truly connected on a way. At the start, he wished that he could have moved on and been what his son expected, what they needed at the moment. But he has come a long way now. MP4 hurted him. He's not his son anymore. Maybe he never was. But sometimes, even looking at his reflection on his glasses, remembering that his creation made him, made this body, made those glasses, makes him think that he's not real.

That he shouldn't be alive right now.

But he is.

Why would he be alive, if someone hated him that much to take his life away, only to get him back again?

Guess that they're two sides of the same coin, eh?

ok but

Imagine if

GKGG MePhone4 near constantly was doing physical augmentations to himself so he could be the best possible, even testing possible features on himself to see how well they worked before applying them to the others.

This, of course, is all done while he is still awake and thus, can feel pain.

The boss himself doesn't want to talk as of now, so his assistant tries to explains something.

"Mephone4 did tell me that he upgraded himself constantly, just as he does with the other meeple products. Just as he does with me, trying to fix my voice as of now. But... I don't know if he does that to himself while being conscious. He probably uses the machine the... former CEO had... to do that. But... he doesn't flinch at pain, thinking about it, neither does at any sharp object making contact with his body. The other phones seem to accept those updates without any trouble, even if there was old papers saying that the upgrades weren't always working at first when I checked on them.

Boss, could that be-?"

3GS wanted to look at Mephone4, but found nothing in the place his boss was standing just a few minutes ago.

"... Sorry. I. Uh. Maybe let's not bother him that much. But, yes. He's pretty dedicated with us. Makes sure we're not conscious as he repairs or upgrades us. He probably treats himself the same way!"

Maybe he's thinking of someone else.

Hi again, is gkgg Cobbs & ballpoint a thing or are they close friends?

Mecintosh and 4s refer to BallPoint Pen as "Father" sometimes. They call Cobs dad.

Did cobs ever try to bring the eggs back?

"What wouldn't a father do for his child?"

He has tried... before he realized that there wasn't a lot that he could do in order to contact the Prime Shimmer and apologize. Which was sooner than later. He had made some plans on how to do it. Building ships, guiding himself from his kids's plans, anything to fix this.

He got their kids and they took away his.

It was fair.

Cobs didn't get much sucess and just eventually gave up, he was also mentally drained and stressed over everything. So... not much success on that anyway.

The Prime Shimmer isn't in good terms with him. He feels awful about 4 getting to those eggs.

hehe

GGKGMP4 fits the “Money, Money, Money! Must be funny, in a rich man’s world”

(Also hello, I am brought by SHOS /silly)

The song has an similar vibe to him! It does fit him! In other songs that I think that could also fit him, would be Sugarcoat (by Sushi Soucy) and Shine A Light [Reprise] (he's heather duke, gkgg cobs is Mcnamara)

He fits any song that just screams power and bitterness. He's full of both.

(Hello! Tell em hi!)

wait

what does gkgg even stand for (・・ ) ?

Grand Keepers and Green Gamers!

It's the team names of the Grand Slams and Bright Lights in the swap AU!

I named it that way cause initially, the idea of the swaps was just about

BaseBall 🔄 Suitcase

Balloon 🔄 Nickel

Paintbrush 🔄 Taco

Pickle 🔄 Lightbulb

Knife 🔄 Test Tube

Mic 🔄 Fan

In the AU, Suitcase calls her team The Grand Keepers, and Pickle calls his team The Green Gamers

On terms of other team names, in S1, Team Chicken Leg is named Pork Leggings instead :]
