Completely separate au unrelated to the last post I swear.
Just a creetur that looks like X and likes to watch Zero sleep sometimes. And by that I mean often.
In all seriousness, I have no idea why this popped up in my brain but I'm not complaining.
Here's some silly lore:
X does not exist here. I have no idea why, feel free to come up with whatever reason you have in the comments. The only thing that ever implied his existence were some old blue prints Dr. Light made of him. This one change disrupts the timeline so badly that someone had to throw in something to fill X's spot.
Rather than swapping X out with someone like Over-1 or just a straight up new guy, whoever was assigned to maintain the timeline just decided to throw in this weirdo.
The goopy freak, who I'll call Mimic X, knows full well who X is supposed to be and acts along accordingly. For the most part, at least. They still indulge in cryptid shenanigans and adore Zero for some reason. Personality wise, they can be really off putting, but are largely sweet when not antagonized. If you make friends with Mimic X then you get free animal bones they find, cool rocks they hoard, and an unsettling amount of prolonged eye contact. That's like their love language.
Everyone else at Maverick HQ thinks they're just neurodivergent in some way and aren't freaked out by Mimic X's weird habits.
Even though most Hunters don't comment when Mimic X pulls something creppy, most do think they're strange. Zero doesn't think they're weird at all, he's not that socially experienced so Mimic X's habits are things he accepts quickly. That's actually part of the reason they latch onto Zero early on. Even though Zero accepts his cryptid best friend, one thing he can't get over is the sleep watching.
Bro can't sleep when he knows someone's watching. He gets 3 or 4 hours of sleep a day. His eye bags are designer.
One final thing, I'm referencing something specific and if you figure out what it is you get an apple fritter.
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?
Enjoy some more doodles! More under the cut if ya wanna look.
Finally got around to drawing @fannele's Able, he's largely based on: "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream". I drew Able if he somehow managed to be unabstracted. He's just a little lad looking for new coping methods cuz he feels bad for everything he put the cast through, and my Abel loves to help with mental health care!
Also drew an interaction between the three Able designs I've seen so far. Sorry for not asking if I could draw your little guy @sm-baby! Had an idea and the doodle was already half way there before I knew it. Hope it made you smile a little!
Short blip for my version of Abel that's deviates a little is that his Caine doesn't actually resent or feel jealous of Abel in anyway and actually adores his little brudder.
A-
Possum-
My pal-
I know you mean well but I might combust-
Thank you again that's a very huge compliment to me.
@sillyandquest It’s your boy!! I’ve been wanting to draw him for so long but I kept getting distracted… sorry. But he was really fun to draw! I’m probably gonna draw him again. Also side note, I ADORE the animal-tamer reference!
How da heck did I not see this???? That looks so good???????
I was listening to an edgy song and remembered “puppeteer Gaggle” from @sm-baby’s Carnival AU, and and got an idea
I’m planning on making a digital version that’s a bit more… intense but have this for now
Bonus:
If you can’t make it out Gaggle is saying “I had a bad day, so blorbo had to suffer lol (dw I’ll write some fluff when he respawns)
I caved and doodled DogDay with legs cause the boi deserves it.
Just a lil lad. (Correction: he is, in fact, a very large lad)
(( 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 🌿 )
Y'all know about the Miraculous Ladybug Paris Special? Y'know, the one with good Gabriel in it?
Spoilers ahead, be warned.
For as convoluted as the series is, I enjoyed the special. Nice to watch when bored, even better if you no longer care about the lore and only want something to fill the silence.
I think the names are a little weird (Betterfly, Ladyfly, etc.) but eh, not the end of the world.
There was this one scene that had me cackling though. It wasn't meant to be funny, I think it was supposed to be intimidating? Scary? Intense?
Idk but I can't take the show seriously. Especially not if you have the main characters running and then paN TO THIS-
HER FACE 🤣🤣🤣
Anyway. Anybody else thought that the ending gave off some real found family vibes? I can picture Shadybug and Claw Noir being super edgy or about to commit a crime but Betterfly's desperately trying to get them to stop, pleaSE YOU TWO, I WASN'T BUILT FOR THIS AMOUNT OF STRESS-
Had fun brainstorming, now imma try and draw something related to this (take a look at the messages pls me and @possumsarenice had fun)
I’ve seen some people make some “What if the 2012 and 2018 turtles switched and grew up in the others’ world” AUs, but imagine if you will “2012 or 2018 Splinter has eight sons instead of four” aka, Splinter bought the 2012 AND 2018 turtles in the pet store or in 2018 Barron Draxum added 4 more turtles to his roster. In either universe the eight grow up as siblings. That is some chaos I’d love to see
Nothing too special, but I liked it too much not to post it
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.
i like a lot of things. fair warning, I have very sporadic updates. worry not, I'm not dead.
