spammy Battlefield Terra blatherings
-The more I think about it, the more I want to do a "quote me a scenebit and i'll tell you what Karkat was saying/thinking" thing with the ask box over on tumblr. It could be hilarious, heartbreaking, or more likely both.
Alas what it would also be is potentially v. spoilerific. I tend to want to answer ALL THE QUESTIONS, especially since background or worldbuilding questions often help me refine my own mental images of those things even as I explain them to other people. End result is that I often end up hinting way too much about what happens next. Hrrm. *ponders* Maybe I should wait a bit. idk. Or maybe I should only answer the ones where what Karkat says is a long list of impressive swear words. That could also work. It wouldn't be informative but it would probably be funny.
-I have been asked what BT would be like if Karkat was the one who had taken John captive.
The answers are not pleasant.
That fic would be quite darker than BT is. Especially considering what Karkat expects to happen to him, it’s easy to extrapolate what could happen to John, up in a troll ship with no escape.
Either John is tortured for the fun of it and then culled summarily because they already have all the humans they need for study… woo torture porn...
Or he’s made a slave and/or a toy and abused as such (possibly "only" a couple of times if he proves to be a valuable worker and not a very fun fuck.) There might also be some Karkat forced to rape him because 1) if he doesn’t, others will, and they’ll be more violent/torture-happy about it, 2) if he doesn’t prove he’s a troll and absolutely not squeamish, all that jeering over how his blood is the same color as that inferior disgusting alien haha how disgusting might degenerate into a feeding frenzy considering how delicate his place is in the Fleet, 3) making John his own means as long as he holds onto enough grit and street cred he can spend some on protecting him from the rest of them.
But first he has to prove he’s not taking *urgh* pity on the wretched thing.
Which means okay yay they get to bond over how much neither of them wanted this to happen (which uh, “we’ll pin you down and force you” is pretty clearly rape but “have sex with me/this other person/this broomstick over there or else we’ll maim/kill this other person!” counts as rape in my book, too, only I don’t think Karkat would be willing/able to recognize that) and the one person who gets what you’re going through is also the one who was right here for the worst of it and kind of made it happen (even if they had to and you intellectually get that, (and how much of that do you get without a common language? okay no karkat would totally cry a bit at some point and that’s fairly clear XD) it’s still their face you remember), and how for a mutant and an alien this place is unsafe and nerve-wracking and the wrong move could have them go from normal day to seriously hurt in about ten minutes and there is no visible way out. Great. :/
I haven’t gotten much farther yet into planning and am not sure I want to (note, either way I am not writing this, but planning new fics is kind of like breathing to me, maybe only a tenth of them ever make it to the writing stage XD), but it would involve massive fallout from trauma and stuff, and a lot of claustrophobic feels.
On the upside, there would be Tavros and Nepeta.
