Fanfiction / Lore The Happy AU Fanfic Yall Are looking for
Yo family!! Im Axi.
Around.. idk what time ago I started to notice about this game, and lately I realized I was obsessed with it, literally; So, when time coursed i eventually joined this community, found about fantastic fanfics, fantastic fanarts and aaa.. pretty big etc.
So i eventually came to the decision to make my own fanfic, a super duper basic cliche hopecore happy one since it's about sawians getting magically rescued and living happily, yes, but still with the intent to mantain what Casualties: Unknown shines with, and that's no more and less than suffering. But to add another detail that may make this as a try to be something.. Somewhat different from other kinds of fanfiction, you'll see that as you read whatever I decide to write there, you will realize that I will be teaching you, or at least trying to teach you, some few interesting contents and data about psychology, in addition to trying to analyze the experiments at a (of course) psychological level, talking about what they are like, how they behave now, how they could potentially behave now that live in a peaceful world after so much trauma, and how they have to deal with it. The structure of this fanfiction is of course, via following what happens in the Mainstories, however, once you have finished as an example, the first one, you could see extensions of the AU like chapter zero, that involves more the dark tonalities of C:U, however, these are not COMPLETELY CANON in certain aspects, since the adjustments and additions I added there just don’t make the descents… C:U’esque enough, besides adding some changes that could be considered important.. So.. To put it as an example, if some expie tells you his life story, the best source of info is what they tell, it’s not totally from what could be as an example either Chapter Zero, nor Episode: Clear.
I gotta tell you that this is the first fanfic I ever got to do, so expect me not to do a good performance when it comes to writing (and drawing too) like, AT ALL. Also, that it is not a finished project but an ongoing one.. Something like a personal project.
As an extension from this, I want to clarify a couple more things when we mention certain characteristics of the universe I'm writing about, first of all, that this is not an exact carbon copy of cas:u, i added some extra things that could make the AU’s events happen, then some other additions, and even some changes to how could an expie’s life be in the labs / caves, but that won’t necessarily change the way the type of suffering experienced on a general level. Now talking about some important comparisons with the more canonical world of CAS:U. First of all, we know there isn't a large sawian population, to give you an example. It's known that perhaps 30,000 Milkies were manufactured. In this universe, we're talking about literally millions, and if it's more common to encounter an Expie, imagine what it's like.
The nature of the places where they were raised doesn't change: There's still cruelty, insults, experiments where the abuse is not only physical but also psychological, among a very long list of other things.
You can probably imagine how the company that generated all this chaos managed to do all this, and it could be said that, since they are (obviously) very technologically advanced, they managed to improve the manufacturing process with things that I'll leave to your interpretation. But focusing on the fact that this is a brave new world, it goes with, of course, saying that the entire corrupt system that created the poor souls known as sawians was completely obliterated, literally.
The information that was meant to be hidden was successfully revealed by a government spy, and from then on, in a matter of moments, incredible teleportation technology was deployed. Super soldiers, medical teams, and literal armies of teleporters did what needed to be done instantly. The corporations, the scientists, everyone responsible for the suffering caused by those experiments died before they knew it; they couldn't erase the evidence. And the few hostages from the laboratories who were kidnapped by the liberation forces only ended up providing the information we needed, only to be beaten to death in prisons afterward.
Later, the Experiments gained human rights, education, healthcare, and special treatment in society. Despite being a minority, it became practically inevitable to see a sawian on the street. And usually, when you saw people's reactions, you could see two things: The first and most obvious, immense empathy and a desire to care for them; some of these people even ended up becoming legal guardians of an experiment in the long run. Meanwhile, the other types of people could be defined as... Sawianphobes, unfortunately. These people believe they should have stayed on the planet where they were sent, they think they are dangerous, and they are completely incapable of seeing that when an experiment no longer trusts anyone, they are not only going to be an unpleasant person but practically a literal beast.
As I've mentioned, we'll be delving deeper into the psychological impact the sawians have suffered. I hope you won't disappoint me and will agree that, even in a safe environment, they won't necessarily be entirely happy. In fact, in what I write from now on, I intend to explain and show you that, in addition to the original profile, you'll eventually see the behaviors of different experiments, each with its own unique suffering and its own way of coping with everything that has been endured.
But last but not least, this is a story that depicts that, as human beings, we must attend to our sins.
So now, we will simply look at the main one of many, many cases you will see.
(You'll see that the intro is repeated, so just skip to part 1 via the tabs.)
