Basic Issue Lore - Tumblr Posts

@that-there-is-a-wierd0 I know you were joking with that one drawing but you could not be any closer to the truth 😭 I got asked on Twitter to make a relationship chart and this is what I got.

【Text Transcript】

you were in my dream last night I think and you asked me over Tumblr some more about my thoughts on asmodena and like ideas with her

Did you know that before you sent this ask I got someone spewing Asmodena headcanons in my inbox. Asmodena gang please rise 🙌 please give me all your Asmodena headcanons, I love her so so much.

Anyway here’s my headcanons + interpertations of Asmodena and why I think she & Billy should have sibling dynamic 😁🙌

You guys don’t believe me but I assure you that Joe is Filipino.

“Okay, but why does he look like that,” Filipinos are famously known for actually being a mishmash of different countries. We are country salad drowned in white dressing.

“Why does he have a British accent?” it seems you are not familiar with the infamous phenomena where Filipinos for some reason will just… Develop British accents… Therefore, it is still possible for him to be Filipino.

“I thought you said he was French,” the me of the past was in denial, do not believe her words.

Hear me out: All the robots that Billy makes are aro-ace.

“But what about Billy’s Girlfriend?” that robot is also aro-ace, being Bily’s Girlfriend is only a title to her, and the role is something that was programmed into her. Loving Billy is practically her job, and such could be used as meta-commentary in the narrative, to show how Billy’s constant controlling of others reduces love and passion — for people and hobby — into a marketed tool for social status.

Billy probably also doesn’t want to burden his robots with those kinds of fragile feelings, as far as he knows, romance makes it more difficult to make difficult decisions. Also, his robots are made for the purpose of social and service work, so the only love they need is compassion from respect; and friendliness from platonic love. I imagine he also probably programmed them to feel familial love later on once he realised he was getting really attatched to them, and also once they started working as part-time caretakers for his son.

How I look rn trying to make BBAU timeline…

The timelinw is kinda funny cause it’s also been written in a way so that during the events of Well-Made Win, Olivia is studying for a dual-bachelor in Biology and Zoology 😭 “Olivia! There’s a demon breaking down my door!” “I’m so sorry, call Asmodena or something. I’m busy studying for midterms.”

How I feel after realising the way I wrote my timeline allows me to have Realex’s suicide and Old Friend’s recplament be on the same year. In 2010, two fakes were born…

This is what the timeline chart for Basic Issue (aka, BBAU 🌽🍞 ver.) looks like for now.

New relationship chart, chat.

“It’s not that hard,” Joe said, “Just talk to him, you’ll get along you’re both smart,” he said. “It’ll be funny,” he said. Baldina doesn’t believe him so Joe decides to strike up conversation with Billy just to show her how easy it is to talk to people if you put up an entertaining front. Little did both of them know, it would be way too easy for Joe… More than Joe was socially prepared for. Baldi isn’t getting involved in any interpersonal drama, Mrs. Pomp is there for moral support. She’s the only one with common sense, I think. She loses her temper at both of them, but it’s because she care for both of their well-being. Everytime any one of them do something stupid, another curl gets straightened.
