I think my Abel would try to talk it out if he can. Though if he figures out that your Able had tortured the main cast, all bets are off. My version of Abel does feel conflicted about your Caine and would understand why your Able is lashing out like this, but he doesn't like that the humans are the ones that ultimately suffer for it.
Just as a side note, my version of Caine adores his little brother Abel so if he figures out what your Caine did then it's Chihuahua fight time.
The Amazing Digital Circus finally got to me....
With that said, allow me to introduce you to the circus's very own...
Animal Tamer!!
Abel!
Aka, my own personal take on the speculation surrounding C&A.
There's biblical imagery in TADC if you look for it, especially when it comes to our beloved Ringmaster himself, Caine, who's believed to be named after the first murderer in the bible. That paired with the C&A logo that briefly shows up has led people to believe that Caine had a brother named Abel.
This is just what I think Abel would look like if he does show up in the future or at all. I imagine Abel's an AI, like Caine, but is surprisingly emotionally intelligent and ran the program that allowed humans to leave the circus. (Slight reference to @fannele's version of Able) If we follow the pilot, then something happened to him, but since Caine was described to be a silly guy by @gooseworx themselves, I don't think he had anything to do with it. (If he did it might've been an accident.) The programmers might have potentially removed Abel or accidentally deleted him for some reason, we can't know for sure.
Those are just my thoughts on Abel and whether it's right or wrong, I don't really care. I just like how this guy came out! I'll be honest though, I probably should've chosen a better pose that convey's Abel's personality a bit more. That and he just generally looks like Caine but with a different outfit and a different head. He low-key looks like if Caine wanted a to wear a very slight Sonic themed outfit.
Idk, I guess I just subconsciously wanted Caine and Abel to be twins. (Darn it ninja turtles you have invaded my brain even now!!).
Anyways. That's just my take, hope you like!
Did some Mutant Mashup Au doodles and kept on forgetting to put them here.
Me and @possumsarenice thought it would be funny if 2012 Raph (Sanzio) and Rise Donnie (Purple) have a "love/hate" relationship? Basically, the two have two settings, either they fight each other like feral hounds or they are each other's ride or die.
The last doodle was just me remembering how the boys call each other. The 2012 boys call their cousins their color nicknames (Red, Blue, Purple, Orange) while the Rise boys call their cousins the painter's last name (DaVinci, Sanzio, Niccolo, and Simoni).
Yoshi and Lou unknowingly named their sons the same thing (Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michaelangelo) so when they reunited the boys would fight over "name privileges." It got to the point where the rat dad's had to cancel name privileges and the nicknames just stuck. They still call each other by their given names but when they talk to their cousins they have to say a nickname.
(( TW: flashing lights/colors! )) “his whole life, donnie felt like he wasn’t wanted anywhere. he never knew there would be someone, a family even, that begged the world so hard for him to exist 💖”
finally finished the twins hug animatic :sob: i did my best to finish it in a day but it took more than 24 hours hAHAHA- i’m so sleep deprived now- but yeah, this is a condensed, more emotional version of what happens in a future episode. think of it as an alternate version uwu donnie’s arc happens around christmas time so i thought this song would fit an emotional moment in the story.
hope y'all like it! 🥺 and i wish someone would give you comforting hugs for the holidays 💖 • ❌ TC*ST DNI ❌ ( 🌿 please do NOT repost, edit, trace, use, and/or sell 🌿 )
Possibly one of the very few times I try drawing a dramatic pose and it's for a gattling gun with limbs.
Say no more
They would get along well I think.
Mighty no. 9 and Balan Wonderworld are far from the best or most polished games (I'm well aware that you can't even jump in Balan Wonderworld depending on power up), but I also can't help but adore the characters and come up with random bits of headcanons for em.
Don't really know why but I think I just like how these characters look? (Seriously, for as clunky as the gameplay for Balan Wonderworld was, you can't tell me that his design looked bad)
Mighty no. 9 also had the bosses show bits of personality and help Beck out depending on which Mighty Number you've defeated which I actually really liked. Not a hundred percent sure if we got that sort of thing in Megaman, but I thought it was nice. Makes the Mighty Numbers feel more like family members y'know? And I friggin LOVE family moments between robots. Their voices also had me laughing, they made me cringe and I loved em.
I can't get enough of the Balan Wonderworld art style either. It's so charming, I friggin love it. Not as much found family vibes, but they still got the loveable host that learns through observation vibes. That's enough for me to like the game, the characters at least.
(NOTE: Before anyone reads this, yes, it's out-dated. Especially my views on Balan. I'm allowed to like what I like. But this is not the way to go about it. You are allowed to like and dislike something based on your own opinion.. but at least give the games a try.)
(Another note: You're not obligated to read the sequel. But also, please do not harass anyone who likes or dislikes a game. That's petty.)
Me, who likes Balan Wonderworld and Mighty No. 9 AND is still a Gamer (albeit a Casual one): Yeah the game wasn't good, but it's still good to me.
Gamer who hates Balan Wonderworld: But it's bad tho??
Me: So? Go read Balan, if you want more story. *tosses book at the gamer who hates balan wonderworld*
Gamer who hates Mighty No. 9: What port did you play? Wii U? Wasn't that the worse port?
Me: Whilst I do agree with you that Mighty No. 9's Wii U port is the worst of the options available.. I still enjoy the game even after all these years.
Toxic Gamer: Fuck you then!! I'm gonna go back to my GTA!
Me: ...Okay? *sigh* Now, gamers, not all of you are like the three above. Only a fraction of you are. But like.. can a girl enjoy her games even if they are bad? Like, fuck, I LOVE Mega Man 8 unironically, and that (to most people) is the worst Mega Man game! And heck, I'll say it: I'll still be a Gamer, but I love to keep an open-mind about things! So I'll still be a Gamer, but I won't say I hate something just because of what everyone else says.. because that's stupid.
Omg this is actually super neat!!!! The LORE implications are makin' me think.... Hope Aible gets restored someday too, I'd love to see what he used to look like and I'm a sucker for redemption endings.
What if Able was the first to get abstracted?
What if Caine had a co-ringmaster named Aible (AI-ble), but got jealous because the devs liked Aible more, so he messed with the code to corrupt him and make him unusable.
He says "The only thing I don't have control over are your minds." which means that he can't cause or stop a player's abstraction because he doesn't know how the human brain functions. But an AI similar in design to him would be easier to understand, and in turn manipulate.
What if Aible realized it only after Caine did?
What if Caine regrets it?
And here, we have the lovely parents.....
......totally confused about how this even happened
My thoughts about the kid are below the cut if you wanna read
I'll be honest, I never gave em a name so if you're reading this feel free to just come up with one in the comments or something.
Aside from that, I did try to keep some things in mind when I drew them. I wanted to use triangles to make up the entire body but I thought it looked off and ended up harnessing Jax's twink energy. In hindsight I could've given the kid yellow ears and be done w/ it, but I couldn't resist reopening old wounds for good ol' Billy. Sometimes kids adopt traits from their grandparents and I wanted to reference Bill's parents in some way. Kinda makes me wonder if Bill would even accept this kid. Allow me to go on a little tangent if you please.
The creator of Gravity Falls himself answered that Bill's character is that of a spoiled kid that never grew up and that's completely true, but there's something deeper going on. Bill's immaturity stems from a deeply traumatic experience: destroying his own universe. We don't know specifically how or why he did it, but it still happened, and while Bill plays it off as "liberating" the flat minds of the people of his flat world in the show, we can see in his book that Bill regrets what he did. The benevolent God of Gravity Falls, The Axolotl, confirms it: "Saw his own dimension burn/Misses home but can't return." Bill even calls himself a monster in when we read his book, one that would eat Ford alive.
How does this relate to Bill's immaturity? Bill lives in denial. He can't face the reality that he killed everyone he knew and loved, so he tries to drown out their screams with unrestrained chaos. He needs to be distracted so he doesn't have to think about them anymore. Bill doesn't want to grow up, because that would mean acknowledging that he did and still does awful things to those around him. @praisetheaxolotl goes into better detail about Bill and his issues, if you're a Gravity Falls fan then you should take a look at their stuff I think they're awesome.
Back to the beginning, what does all this mean for the kid? Well, Bill probably isn't gonna care too much for their health or mental state. He may try to encourage them act as he does. Uncaring of others and disregarding guilt or remorse in favor of "fun." Honestly, Jax may do the same though I can't be absolutely sure of that. We don't have much on Jax's character when compared to Bill.
Man, it really is hard to make an interesting character with no trauma whatsoever. Guess that'll be something for me to try in the future.
....I drew a Bill Jax fankid....
Is she gossiping with a gal pal or lying to your face? Guess you'll never know
All right so @billiam-shakespeare has a TMNT au that has Venus raising the Rise boys which has given me the motivation to talk about my own Mom Venus Au.
I actually thought about this AU for a little while before learning about billiam's AU (sry didn't want to tag you twice my dude). Anyway, the AU takes place in the 2012 series. Venus began life as a regular red eared slider that was taken care of by a young woman who's well versed in the art of magic. Venus had a different name too, Mei Phei Chi, and was taken in by the woman because she was lonely.
The woman was happy when she found out Mei Phei Chi had been carrying eggs and had gone to the local vet to see what she had to do to help the turtle. There she encountered the Kraang and a man named Hamato Yoshi. Unfortunately, both got captured and were taken in for experimentation. Hamato Yoshi had been the lab rat for mutagen testing, transforming into a rodent while the Kraang used the woman's blood to gain access to magic.
The Kraang had only taken Mei Phei Chi and her clutch because they were with the two humans at the time. When they realized they could combine the humans skills, the Kraang got the idea to use these turtles as soldiers and mutated the mother soon after she laid her eggs. Mei Phei Chi had more than 8 eggs in that clutch, yet only 4 were good enough for the Kraang.
Eventually, everyone escaped and the woman had used a spell to hide everyone under the sewers of New York, turning the tunnels into a labyrinth. With the threat of capture lurking, she had asked Yoshi to watch over the turtles and teach them how to disappear. The woman would remain topside and bring food and furniture underground to the Hamatos. She would also teach magic to the turtles and encouraged Mei Phei Chi to give herself a new name now that the slider was no longer a pet.
Now that the sewers were more expansive, Venus had dedicated a small room to her lost children. While she may grieve over what she could have had, Venus still very much loves the children she has now and does her best to make sure the boys feel loved.
i like a lot of things. fair warning, I have very sporadic updates. worry not, I'm not dead.
