#I have no idea what I'm doing lol

[glitchadeli]

I don't really have plans to.. explore this AU too much but, with all the MLP AU's going around I really wanted to do one with TAWoG so, here's a long recap of the idea;

Basically; everyone and everything falls into the void and it closes. Rob yells at everyone saying that they should've listened to him!!! Now they're stuck in limbo, with no clues on how to get out. No one knows what he's talking about but it seems he's right, there's literally no way out, at least that's how it seems.

Time goes on though no one knows how long other than by how the kids are aging; as that happens though, everyone starts getting depressed and unsure of how to go on, the void is incredibly scary and just.. it's a lot of existential crisis' ya know? Richard decides he wants to try cheering everyone up and so he gives Gumball and Darwin a hug. A very specific hug…. you know where this is going.

The joy virus begins to spread and Rob (who hadn't seen or heard of it at all) is terrified. (Ms. Simian knew right away and when seeing her reaction, Rob runs to her side, asking her what's going on. She tells him they need to get somewhere safe and she'll explain. He gets her to a higher platform, seeing as the infected don't understand void physics quite yet.) She explains everything, telling him to avoid them at all costs. Rob looks down at all the smiling faces and shivers. Of course other survivors made their way through the void (like Small, who got used to the 'physics' pretty quickly.)

About a week or so into this infection, Rob found himself running from a hoard of infected, when he trips and in doing so, he spots something. Rob finds the universal remote. "But I thought….. *he hears laughing behind him* no time!" and he uses it to (hopefully) open a way out; it only opens to Elmore so he just decides to go through with it. (He was hoping for another channel or somethin' LOL.) Rob goes to close the portal but Gumball and Darwin leap out after him. Rob points the remote at them to get them away but when he does, nothing happens. He clicks a few more times only for them to snicker.. wait they're not laughing?? and why do they sound normal…?

"Gonna keep clicking that?" Gum raised his eyebrow with a smirk.

"Wha- b-but you're infected!?! How are you talking?!?!"

"What are you talking about? We're not…" they realize that somehow, they're not infected, despite their eyes still being shiny. A permanent change to their designs.

Because he was so focused on them, he didn't realize that the rest of the infected had gotten out of the void and made their way into town.

"Oh great, they got out."

The virus seemed.. different though.. now with everyone out of the void; things started changing. Characters began showing static patches amongst the rainbow saliva and big eyes, but the more infected you are, the more void-looking you become. (the eyes stop looking "cute" and become more soulless). Body parts become changed and more void-like. Infected cry out in pain, saying that it hurts or that they just want to be normal again, except; don't fall for their wails, it's their way of just trying to get you close enough, it's really hard to determine if they're 'conscious' and in 'pain' or if it's just a tactic, no one wants to stick around to find out.

Rob figures out that Gum and Dar are 'immune' in a sense because of plot armor. They're the main characters, of course they're safe… why wouldn't they be. Rob is slightly confused why he or Darwin is immune since really it's Gum who's the "main" character but.. nonetheless, they're around. He figures "Gum probably couldn't handle this alone.. guess we're here to help em'." Also, since Gum's got no one else from his family, he becomes very protective of Darwin. The two stick close to Rob since he's got the remote and seems to navigate himself through chaos pretty well. (Rob's tried using the remote on the infected but it doesn't work. He can only use it to blast them a few feet away to get a chance to run. The power button doesn't do anything.) - Some Notes:

Any survivors left are either still in the void or hiding in the town, no one is really trusting one another anymore

Another Note: The infection mutated because it starts in the void - making it an actual infection, and not something as simple a curable virus like in the episode. It's also very unsettling for Rob. He hates that he looks like it (because of his glitched appearance) bUT ultimately that's what helps 'save' him.

Gumball starts using the name "Zach" because as time went on, he begins feeling more guilty, thinking that this is somehow his fault. It's 'his' world after all so he must be why this happened. (Rob and Darwin also live with guilt but for their own, undisclosed reasons.)

I wrote on the drawing Rob cuts his har, but Gum def. tries to help when he can. Darwin does as well but Rob usually just does it himself.

Darwin wears his 'nemesis' hat because it reminds him of their old life, how 'simple' things used to be. Happier times.

Gum is more short tempered, whereas Rob had to become the more logical one to keep them all in check. Darwin is the worrier but also keeps the peace whenever issues arise.

Gum is almost always getting into trouble which is why he's the most scuffed up. Darwin is well taken care of, due to Gum's overprotectiveness. Darwin is protective too but Gum doesn't really listen to em'.

Rob's static is there (I just didn't add it to the draw 'cause I'm dumb). It's almost always dark. Only on rare instances will his static look normal or go light (like it used to whenever he was happy.)) Similarly, Gum's ears are almost always down. It's rare they ever perk up anymore. (Whenever they do, it makes both Darwin and Rob a little happier.)

Penny is (sadly) too far gone infection wise to be saved; Gum did not take this lightly. He will eventually gain some feelings towards the cyclops but keeps them buried deep, deep down. In this kind of world, romance is a bad.. idea.

Aaaand that's about all I got!! Honestly this AU is open-ended and I still haven't exactly decided how the infected look, nor do I know if I ever even will design them. I'm not the best with Zombie AU's but I wanted to try!! If you guys have suggestions I'd love to hear em'!!

on principle opposed to describing art i dislike as 'masturbatory' because even though it's an alluringly contemptuous word to sneer it's impossible to reconcile with my pro-masturbation stance

#it's such an ugly word but like. self-pleasure is good‚ actually #it's good to know yourself and what you like and lovingly treat yourself to it! #like similarly 'meretricious' is extremely tempting if you ignore the underlying metaphor #but. hard to. #language #and quite frankly i think people who whip out 'masturbatory' in this sneering sort of way #are leveraging‚ if we're honest with ourselves‚ a particular framing of it as a gross thing that boys do #because like. when have you ever heard a *woman's* self-indulgent art described as masturbatory #like don't get me wrong we absolutely still dismiss it! but we dismiss it in other ways #that are usually about how embarrassing her *yearning* is #and so even our sneering is reinforcing an idea that men Act whereas women Feel #anyway this was prompted by some things but i shoved it in the queue so now i forget what lol #so here you are getting some contextless thoughts on the use of 'masturbatory' as sneering dismissive assessment! #just what you were hoping for i'm sure :)

Zorella, the centaur pop queen ✨

Thank you to everyone who helped me by voting on her final design in the poll from last week! I'm so so so happy with how she turned out 🥰

#I imagine her music sounds something like a happy medium between Sza and Ashnikko :3 #but maybe more EDM #her style is very raver girl so it fits #it was pretty funny designing basically a lingerie harness for a horse body LMAO #that was actually what inspired her design #I was thinkin about how it would be cool to try to combine strappy harness-y raver girl fashion with horse tack #I'm deffo gonna draw her more bc I already have so many fashion ideas for her #also I've realized that I rly love doing graffiti designs lol I got carried away with her name #it probs distracts the eye too much in the composition but w/e it was fun 😂 #my art #character design #original character #OC #centaur #OCs #eye strain
