Thinking so so hard about a Barnabas lives AU. Initially I was gonna make him a Lonely avatar; he decides the only way to escape The Lonely is to become a part of it. But after hours of doomscrolling on this hellsite I’ve been sold on Corruption!Barnabas. Ok ok hear me out: he has so much love to give but no one to give it to. His family has cut him off, he has no friends, and his lover, his last hope at making it out of The Lonely alive, isn’t responding to his letters. He knows he needs company if he wants to live. He is so desperate to be loved. He doesn’t care if it hurts him. He just wants someone to talk to. He needs to feel less alone. There are no people in this personal hell, but there are bugs. The bugs will listen.

Oh yeah. It’s all coming together. Idk what I want him to be based on (insects, disease, mold, whatever). Leaning towards mold but idk
