DOOOO DO DODOD ODODODODO 

HOW MANY SHRIM-

Soooo

Haven't updated in awhile sorry mutuals </3

I have a fic idea. It is very niche and specific, to the point where I don't think anyone will read it, I mean it's a ship from a YouTube video 7 years ago. I need to know if there is a fandom out there willing to read it cause I don't know if I can write without getting any feedback.

Here's it goes: SELOBERT from Flamingo lore

-kinda inspired by that black mirror episode where a real consciousness can be uploaded to a game and abused. And the myth Roblox games where you can't quit: Rust's games "please don't leave" and drags your mouse back.

-Au of a world where accessing the internet transports you there fully mentally in a digital form. Simply leaving the server will take you out of it, there are fail-safes in place in case anything happens, that's why when a game crashes and you have command task it, it's very scary. Because you get stuck there digitally, it takes a second but once the computer realizes the application isn't working, it'll fully pull you out. Same creepy applies when the game won't let you leave (mouse getting close to exit)

-If: something happens to Albert and his mind becomes stuck in the game, he cannot leave because somebody hacked his computer (or something), and his body dies irl.

-All these "games" are real worlds and real people, of course they were designed, but the reality itself is somewhat sentient, where it functions by itself, including the characters that are sentient. 

-When Albert plays Alones games, the characters in it are real but not being controlled from other people. There are ofc "multiplayer games" with irl people, there is a separation of multiplayer and worlds. Alones is a world. Developers can play as their characters by taking over their will, but it is still the same character experiencing and they remember everything. They honestly don't realize they're being controlled since they are still in character, it's only natural

-What if: Albert becomes stuck in one of Alones worlds? The "lore" becomes reality he has to survive in? And there is only three people. He must try and find out what happened to his irl body and leave the game. 

-Lore (mostly from wiki): They live in a bleak world at war with the Guardians. The Guardians are extremely powerful and invade this world, slaying most of their kind. Alone blames Selozar because he left his post when invading in an attempt to save his own life. Technically it was too late to save their kind, but Alone must blame someone in his grief. He enslaves Selozar as punishment because of this, and partially because he is half guardian and regarded as a traitor. Their world is mostly barren except for the beast, which was designed to protect them. After much torment as alone devolves into madness, Selozar attempts to murder him by dropping a pillar onto Alones head, which is what renders him half brain dead and more insane (this happens suddenly in one of Flamingo's videos). This just makes Selozars situation worse. I need to research more on what happens after this, there's the Christmas party ofc.

HC: I like the fan art of Selozar of looking like Obsidian with black and purple, as the characters are actually made of stone(wiki). Has black smooth skin, like marble, cold and hard, but still humanoid in mobility and function. When cut it's more like a scrape on a counter that can be repaired, but crumbles instead of bleeding and DOES hurt. Selozar kinda has a face, the features are there but they do not have color and his eyes are not there, but you can still see his emotion through his eyebrow movement. I personally like the sweater design, but I do not think that's how it'd be realistically. Those are his body/grate designs, since I kind of imagine him as a statue. He can only wear his hat as clothes because of his random size changes that flux on emotions and choice, so it's kinda impractical. He does wear a cloak later on which kinda of makes sense to me with his size changes, its not restricting.

Alone traveler can apparently change his color at any point which I'm going to correlate his Selozars perk to change his size (tho it may be guardian related idk..), then Alone can change his colors. 

Not sure what to with Uleanra, honestly not sure how much I'll include them

-Desc: Selozar is surprised by Alberts change in behavior, what used to be a very quirky silly man, who was trying to understand the base of their world, is now a panicked and serious person trying to escape. They'd had visitors before to visit the devastation of their world, passerbys of the war. They came from a world with more color and exaggerations. When Selozar and Alone traveled, and stole that old couples house, his eyes hurt from the colors. But it was beautiful, it wasn't often he got to see it. 

Or: Albert gets stuck in AloneTraveler's world in a universe where playing a game is being fully mentally transported there. Something has happened to the outside world with his computer, and he only has so long to get back to his body before something bad happens. And of course there is Selozar.

-This is my excuse for world building in the AloneTraveler's universe. I hate the man, but I know multiple people worked on the project, so I am going to separate the artist from the art. I have very limited knowledge on the subject other than Alberts vids, so this is going to be based off public wiki knowledge and head canon. I've tried researching more but it's buried in old YouTube and the wiki isn't very helpful on the actual world myth. I also know that Selozar does not wish to be shipped with anyone, but I am using purely the character he created, which is retired and no longer being updated since like 2020, I think it's fair to have my fun with it. This is going to treated very seriously, kinda crack treated seriously but only in regarding the past with Flamingos online persona, the rest is going to be very realistic, like Ready Player One type shi.

I have no idea why I'm obsessed with this. But I want to write what's in my head so 👍

Flamingo queen! Just enjoying her ride.
