#Beary's New AU Thing!
1 messages · Page 3 of 1
YAY!!!
Putting on my readers like an old man
NOOOO DONT EXPLODE ME
OH
Just read the factions doc and im intrigued
Took me a bit bc i refuse to actually put my glasses on but ya know 😭
thanks for being interested! It really does mean a lot :)
I just realized thanks to Zen I don’t think I ever posted what Scen looks like in here
Here he is!
Hehe! He was an adopt from, I think a Ram and CasperAmpersand colab? I can’t entirely remember
It was one of or both of them lol
Oooo that’s so cool!!!!
Scen is so cutety patootie im eating him
Careful dont hurt yourself /lht
Too late it seems 😔😔
Man, commuting to school is so good for brainstorming AU ideas
I mean, not amazing since I have to drive so I don’t die but still
Mostly today I was thinking about how much real history stuff I should put into the AU. Like how closely to adhere to Roman customs, principles, history, etc.
Mainly I’m just debating on whether or not to include slavery in this world. Which is a fucking crazy sentence to type out now that I’ve done it 😭
SLAVERY?!
I mean it’s a Roman thing, it could add some new elements to the story and reinforce a character as either good or evil or whatever
Could be a backstory for Tiberius too potentially
I’m not sure but I’m thinking about it
Fair, honestly I probably won’t since it would probably bring down the story too much in terms of tone
So there goes that idea
I hope you can get the perfect thing for your story ^^
Might try to write a little intro for Tiberius but writing is hard since I’m a big baby
Also I have to figure out how he gets the crown still but I’m getting some ideas
Lmao homophobe with a sign on campus and some guy is playing an accordion next to home lol
It’d be funny if it weren’t profoundly sad
I’m so sorry Beary
beary spotted
YAYYYYYY
that means a lot thank you!!!
Do you guys wanna hear what I have for Tiberius’s backstory so far?
so what I was thinking that uh, parents dead first of all
sad
anyway disease and a war killed them but because one of his parent's was in the army he got paid with land, or his kid did at least
so Tiberius gets a nice plot of land on the Empire's borders to just, do farm stuff
but the thing with living on the borders is that security is hard to guarantee
who knows what barbarians may be lurking in the shadows of the civilized world, envious of the achievments of the empire
@lucid swan :3
AW MY GAWWWWW. BOOF
BOOF?? I MEAN UR RIGHT I JSUT WASN'T EXPECTING THAT WORD! /lh pos

How much of my AU have you seen Tay Tay? (Totally not fishing for attention no sir-e)
:3
A light breeze flows through the emerald green fields. Tall and mighty trees stand tall, patches of soft grass sway in the wind as animals skitter through the undergrowth, and a river flows through the land. In this land, on the edge of the empire, a few people live simple lives in their small vi...
NEW DOC NEW DOC!!!
Please enjoy! It’s not too long as it’s just background for something else I’m writing



PEAK
THANK YOU CRIMSON!!
You’re welcome beary. You keep cooking
Im just realizing i forgot to respond omg- its so cool beary very exquisite
YAYYYY
I was worried it might be hard to read at times, or like kinda confusing since my writing style can be a bit dense lol
Nah nah it’s okay I read it all Oki dokie!
I love my invisible tungsten hat it puts a nice dent in my brain
Well now that Tiberius has been kinda introduced I might be switching between his time and the time with canon characters since I still have ideas regarding the Ratau era of the story
Agreed.
Is anyone in this thread a Civ fan I need someone I can talk to about it
Skittering around the place like a bug /pos
OMG HI TAY
Heyyo!!!
What are you doing here bestie :3
Beary AU ☺️
:3
I'm alive I promi
I've been gaming mostly, and uh instead of working on my Rome based AU I've been restoring the Roman Empire in a video game
This took like, 3 days
and yes the capital of the Empire is in Northampton don't question it
I'M ALIVE (for now)
SKITTERS IN
HI HI\
HELLOOOOOO
I should develop Finley more
OOO
I should really figure out his position in the Revolt more too
If ya don't mind me asking, what stuff have you got down for Finley as of late? I've been pretty curious about him since you brought him up a while ago
Hmm good question
He was introduced in one of my short story segments up above (but I can link it again), but He's supposed to be Ratau's chief advisor after the Revolt
you should 100%
And he might also be the leader or a believer of one of the mian factions during the time of Ratau's rule
MORE PEOPLE YAY!
YAYYYY BEARY THREAD GETTING AN AUDIENCE
HEHE
I kinda think of him as a serious but not too serious guy who's super tough
Maybe even warlike honestly that might be fun
Ooo I likey
HEHE
ooooo very inch resting
I also have him as a sorta leader of the initial Revolt against the bishops, leading a lot of people to storming the Temple, maybe he even helped kill Shamura but maybe that could be a fun rumor about him
I JUST THOUGHT OF A FUN WORLDBUILDING IDEA
OOOH I'm on a roll tonight fellas
SPILL SPILL SPILLLLLLL
tapping ny fingers together like a mafia boss
AHH okay uh, I was thinking about how Finley's name is more COTL-ish but how Laudere is one of the sheep people. I think maybe the newly revived sheep people would adopt Latin names as part of their culture and that's how it ends up dominating the empire in Tiberius's time
ALSO! I drew Leshy
ooo love the idea and ur leshy drawing
TANKYA
I HEARD A CERTAIN BEAR WAS ALIVE
HIII
what did i miss
Just a little yappin :3
oh

HEHE! That would be so cool!
Y'know I got an AO3 account awhile ago, maybe it's finally time to start putting my stuff up on there (even if I don't have much right now lol)
Laudare????
She’s the de facto leader of the sheep people and of the Faithful faction
Oh.
So….uh….uhhh….
WHEN BEARY MEET THEIR COTL OC OR SMRH AAAAAA
Wuh? /notneg
I didn’t know what to say my brain thought of something random
I just don’t know what that sentence was supposed to mean lol
Tbh I sorta wanted to see how your oc for your cotl au and your like…do I say persona or smth would interact
Uh well idk, since my fursona is just me and Tiberius is a guy from an Iron Age time period I doubt they’d have much in common 😭
But with my old COTL sona then they’d probably get along well depending on how they’re feeling that day
They don’t have to have much in common to have a conversation
Touchce
Try talking to a medieval knight I doubt they’d conversation would end up lasting very long but u right lol
…so also like how is your fursona btw? I think it’s still ur pfp right? Also like… Whar did I miss for the AU
Yep my pfp is my sona still! I could post some of the commissions I’ve gotten if you’d like! As for the AU….ive mostly been on a uh, let’s call it hiatus 😭
Ima summon it back /j
YAYYY
Unfortunately you gotta be part of the ritual as it says ya gonna need to get the iskai treatment 😔
I’ve had some writing ideas, the hard part is just starting it. Also figuring out how to share it since I don’t want to just post a Google doc in here 💀
/joking
He’s super mega serious about this 😔 😔 😔 /j
….what about Microsoft word?
Wait scratch that it won’t work
Idk it just seems weird to post a word doc in here. I could do Ao3 but my anxiety has something to say about that
Hey take the time you need to post it bru it’ll come eventually
You can do it!!!!!
Cus uh…youll get ritual in like 5 seconds idk /j
Also thank you :)
Np man!

Oh hi melon! :D
Hi :3
You well?
Ya I’m good
HI
Nice!!! Ima check out ya art thread to see what you been doing in their melon!!’
Also hope you had nice day!!!!
HI BEARY LONG TIME NO SEE 💖 💖 💖
Master and student!! 
I wouldn't call Finley Ratau's student but ye!!
Oops! Sorry, they really just give off that vibe for me especially with Ratau's experience 
UR GOOD! I'm sure they learn stuff from each other!
Hoping to do some writing today! If I can get over the horror of the blank page /hj
Also I realized I don't have a name for this AU, should probably figure that out so if anyone has any ideas feel free to say em!
would probably be better if I planned out what I want to write more but I figure I'll just wing it for now lmao
Right now I'm just typing up a little doc that fleshes out Finley a bit more shout out to the Finley fans (all 4-5 of you)
Ooo
Thinking about stealing this idea, actually FHDJKGSDFKJ /hj
Nothing like daydreaming about my AU while I drive to my therapy appointment
/pos
This image has also had a lot of relevance recently 😭
This is so real
I know right
God me too
I usually like. Stream of consciousness tell people about it then I write it down in little bullet notes later and then MAYBE I write something nice and coherent about it
That’s literally what I do actually, most of my docs about this AU are bullet point type lists of things rather than actual stories 😭
Me too JSNDNDN
Solstice's au is purely stream of consciousness I think, but I wrote down gambits
I need to write More of gambits but it's ok
Writing is hard 💔
Writing is had 💔
Noooo KAKDKDNF
Also hi! Haven’t see ya in here before :3
Hii!!! I think I've been in here but I mostly lurk for some reason
That’s fair! Feel free to talk and ask questions though! I love talking about my AU (it’s easier to an writing about it 💀)
In this au, do you have alternate bishops or the same bishops?
Same bishops! They take control of The cult after the Lamb disappears and the people don’t like that very much
Ohhh
In the 2nd half of the AU Tiberius is gonna face an alternate bishop but I don’t have that fully planned out yet
YAY! Thank ya :3
Ofc!!
For right now I’ve been focusing on (daydreaming about) Finley and honestly I think he’s gonna be the main character of the 1st half of the AU
Hell yea :]
When the lamb disappears, are they dead or just? Gone?
Or a secret third thing JSNXN
No one knows
Damn
My fucking caprinae....
They just fucking gone, along with Narinder because honestly I couldn’t think of what to do with him 😭
FR
JANDJDND
I have no writing to offer today since I'm hanging out with friends irl BUT! I have started a longer more narrative story beat about Finley's origin! Hopefully I can finish it soon :3
1st half?
You could say that!
Oh no.
had another brilliant AU idea in my usual thinking place
(the shower)
I'm gonna give Ratau a more active role in the revolt instead of just kinda, sitting there
He'll be wheelin, dealin, building up his power base under the bishop's noses (figuratively) until he initiates the revolt. Finley will be his right hand man during that time as well. I'm really liking the idea of Ratau being a mentor figure for him so sorry for saying you were wrong about that Qyuobii 😭
Haha no problem!
It's nice to know that you've got lots of plans for the two :)
Would love to hear them!!
I need me some more Finley-Ratau bonding 
HEHE! I gotta write that out I got so many ideas but writing them down is like pulling my brain out of my head with tweezers
BUT BY GOD IT MUST BE DONE
-# eventually
I FEEL YOU
Why must this always be an artist/writer's struggle 😭
But tyt!! Art takes time after all :)
Thank u :3
still writing that Finley thing but i keep having too many ideas so I'm finishing it very slowly 😭
I won't finish it tonight but! I would like to offer a sneak peak on what I have so far!!!
Hehe
twiddles my fingers together like a pleased mafia boss
BEST PRAISE I'VE EVER RECIEVED!
I think my writing is a bit too longwinded sometimes, but I like being descriptive
also formating is a nightmare 😭 . But I think I've got it mostly right...hopefully
its a bit repetative but other than that its really good
That's also one of my main concerns lol
What's repitive about it? I'd like to try and fix that! :3
its the third paragraph the repeat of "finley's" in front of the second "finley's father" and the repeat of "buffalo" but thats mainly a personal preference
No yeah that's fair, I have issues with that lol. Giving Finley's dad a name would probably help 😭
I make OCs so quickly I don’t have time to name them apparently lol
You could also just throw in a pronoun instead
which is what i usually do when i dont want to name characters 😭
True, but two hes floating around might be confusing
with the given context surrounding the sentence it wouldnt
True, I’ll try that thanks for the advice! :3
ywyw
I must write, I need to give Finley some angst mwahahaha 
hehehehhe
Finley's the first real OC i've ever had I need to do the thing that every OC writer does and traumatize him
Thats fair
IT'S GONNA HAPPEN
-# maybe more than once
AAAH I GOTTA WRITE THIS SCENE BUT WRITING FEELS LIKE SLAMMING MY HEAD INTO A WALL /lh silly
metaphoricly, hopefully not literally
I wish I could draw so bad cuz I wanna make like, little ref sheets for my OCs but all I can do is write </3 /lh
I promise I’m working on that little Finley prologue! Been a bit busy trying to find a job but I found this outside my grocery store
Is it real?
What the sigma
What the freak
alsooo while I was driving and daydreaming (safely) I thought of new story beats for Tiberius mwahahaha
If I ever actually get to writing his story lmao
Huh
Damn, with the new DLC announced I realized I haven’t even figured out where the last few updates fit into my AU lol
OOOOO VERY FUN STUFF 🗣️
OMG THANKS!!!
I just remembered that I have an adoptable that I could possibly use for this new DLC announcement 😈
Everyone jokes that it’s a nuclear winter…. What if it wasn’t a joke ☢️ ☢️ ☢️ ☢️ ☢️
Design was made by CasperAmpersand on Bluesky btw!
Nuclear winter.... I knew a nuclear winter once
Collab coming up /j
HHHSHKK 😭
I also love how my AU doesn’t even have the lamb in it 😭
I’m not gonna put em in but y’know it’s kinda funny
Cult of the Lamb Rat
WELL ABOUT THAT 😭
It’s his for a bit
Until he gets uh…Caesared
I was thinking after Ratau’s uh…retirement. That Flinky, Klunko, and Shrumy would take over cuz if this is based on Roman history then you gotta have a Triumvirate
Otherwise I’m a HACK /silly
Just to reintroduce because he’s mine Finley is kinda the main character of the first “era” of my AU, along with Ratau who acts as his semi-adopted father figure/mentor mwuhahaha
nice
Thank you!
psst this is absolutely peak
OMG BAGELL HIIII
DAWWWW THE CAT
do you wanna ask about my AU?
/lh
i remember them...
Finley <3. My first real OC
I think he was my favorite
IM SCROLLING YOUR THREADS SO DEAD?? IM SO SORRY WE NEED PPL TO HYPE IT UP,,,,, /silly
Could you tell me whats going on in the au so far?
uhhhh, Well it's more conceptual at this point but it exists in two parts kinda
First is with the actual COTL characters like Ratau and the 2nd is with Tiberius and is like only OCs lol
yeah 😢
BUT THANKS
But the parts follow chronologically after like a huge time skip so they'll be tied together a bit which I think is a neat idea
IM EXCITED TO SEE IF THIS CONTINUES !!
also I get to put Rome stuff in there which is AWESOME
Your characters look so cool oh my gawd
I WANT IT TO! hyping it and talking about helps motivate!
alas, college 😔
OHHHH i get it
THANKIES!!! U could ask questions if u like :3c
What flower would finley like
omg omg!!!
Red poppy!
feel like it fits his backstory mwuhaha
OKAYTHANKYOUUU

okay so Idea! (I promise I still think about this AU all the time). I've been trying to think of what to do with Tiberius, so he gets the red crown and I'm thinking he would interact with past crownbearers in a ghost form!
