In this image, I will also include Dr. Kahl's past, so it's also a backstory with this OC

-----------------------------

-Name: Kitty Bastet

-Age: 18 years (when she met kahl) at present 40 years

-Species: Cat

-Dedication: scientist/inventor

-Likes: milk, science, heat, acquire more knowledge

-Dislikes: Dr. Kahl, machismo, teasing

-Skills: She is a scientist with a very high IQ, is very ingenious and can create very advanced mechanisms and incredible chemical reactions. She's capable of creating artificial intelligences.

-Facts:

She used to be very affectionate, reliable and compassionate, after her "accident" she became unfriendly, grumpy and serious

Her fur will never grow again

Since childhood she was a victim of maleness

She will be evil, but she is very loving with children, since she hates violence and abuse towards them

She had a dream of being the first woman scientist, but never received support and her dream was taken away

Without her fur, she has to cover herself with warm clothes, since her skin is very sensitive to cold.

Dr. Kahl's robot is not his robot, it's hers.

-BIO:

Kitty was a white cat with a very soft and velvety fur. She had never had a mother since childhood, and her father was the one who got her, she was the smartest girl in her school on Polo Island, but she always received teasing from her classmates for being an intelligent girl, her father always forbade her to be intelligent, since she was a macho and always said that women should only learn housework and take care of children. As soon as she was old, she left home to go to Inkwell Island, and achieve her dream of being the first woman to be part of a faculty (so to speak) of scientists. There were only boys in the faculty, but Kitty managed to enter thanks to her impressive qualifications. Nobody agreed with her entering, since she had to pass tests and the slightest mistake, they would expel her (this was obviously done only with her for being a woman), her companions were dead of envy because she was much more intelligible and impeccable in her jobs that they.

Kahl was also jealous and hateful at first, but after seeing her potential, he began to help her secretly, since his friends made fun of him for every compliment he made. In the final project, Kitty went through the last test, she created a special machine of artificial intelligence, but her colleagues decided to sabotage her presentation Kahl also joined, the purpose of kahl was just not to approve her project, but sabotage was still further away. On the night of presentation kitty went on stage to approve her project, the project, was only part of what she planned to do, which was the head of what everyone today knows as Dr. Kahl's Robot, However, The head failed and it exploded along with it, causing the chemical reaction to make her fur massively shut down. Everyone in the presentation humiliated her, although Kahl was devastated by her.

Next, Kitty was expelled from the faculty, the next day she left the building with her things, while her classmates made fun of her, she realized that her failure was their fault. She swore to take revenge since then. Khal wanted to go to apologize to her in her apartment, but she was no longer there, she had left Inkwell. Kahl noticed that she had forgotten her robot's plans in the apartment, so he decided to put it together and bring it to life in honor of her, although he never said that the robot was not his.

This post is basically a ramble/almost a brag about my sketch book.

Remember this post I made? I made this post on August 31 2019, sooo about like.. 2 months ago? 3 months? Anyway- This sketch book is 14 inches tall, 11 inches wide and has 110 pages.

I have been drawing in this book every. single. day. without fail since I made that post, And today I finally got to the last page.

I’m not sure why I’m making this post, I guess i’m sadly venting and being proud of myself at the same time? Anyway I have some pictures to show a bit of my sketch book and how I draw things.

Here’s the cover with my hand as a comparison! Its feels bigger in person.

When I got to the very end I wrote myself a little message in case I ever come back and look through it again. (like I do with all my sketchbooks)

When I first got the book, I was so exited that I spent an entire day drawing a full paged picture that was ink-lined and colored in. The drawing was a full body picture of Dr. Kahl's robot holding Dr. Kahl.

Now to note, I didn’t draw on the backsides of any of the pages. There’s a reason why your teachers told you never to do that. Everything ends up just smudging together!

Some of the pages were reserved only for comics. Some of my comic panels were rather large so only like 4-5 drawings could fit.

Some of my comics however were a bit smaller and I could fit more than just the one comic.

Some of my comics were ˢᵘᵖᵉʳ ᵗᶦⁿʸ and had TONS of panels on them!

My sketch book has many different subjects and types of drawings in it, HaHa! There’s even this one page that’s just Sans’ face drawn 36 times! I was struggling so hard with trying to get his face right, that I just kept drawing him until I got it right! (It still didn’t even work lol.)

Some of my “nicer looking” drawings are actually rather small. I tend to draw smaller to try and save room. Plus its easier for me to add detail when I’m working with a smaller canvas.

On the very last page however.. I had a bit of a cop-out. I was so exited to finally be done with this sketch book that I drew a HUGE drawing to fill up this big empty space.

This sketch book was quite the ride. And you probably wont believe me when I say this.. but I went back and counted, and I drew PRECISELY 100 DRAWINGS of anything Gravity Falls related. (98% of them being just Stan and/or Ford)

I don’t know if anyone cares about this but I just wanted you all to see this I guess?.. I think its a bit sad actually.. I mean.. I’m proud of myself for finally being able to commit to something and filling up such a huge sketch book.. but.. Its just a big blaring reminder of how mundane my life is right now.. I never get out anymore.. I have so much time that’s just spent cooped up in my room alone with my book and a pencil.. just.. alone.

I feel like I shouldn’t be happy about this and that its a sign of a bit problem I have. But... none the less, I never used to fill up my sketch books to completion. So now that I finally did- and to one that’s SO BIG at that! Its kind’a a cool feeling. :}

What do guys think of this post? Any thoughts? Leave them in the comments please, I’d love to read them!

(Preview) Chapter 1

Inkwell Isle; an island bustling with many fine folk. From the expansive beds of blue skies, to the far reaches of hell, such an animated locale never lacked for excitement. Within this land of magic lived two eccentric boys, known for freeing the souls of its denizens through their heroic deeds and their own misfortunes. Little did they know, their trials were far from concluded. And for one other, their journey was soon to begin.

“Aww, c'mon, Mugs. Can't we just sneak into-.”

“For the last time, Cuphead, we're not breaking into Dr. Kahl's junkyard. Those security bots would cook us alive.”

The Cup brothers trekked along the familiar, lush thicket, discussing their current predicament in the meantime. ‘twas not long until they came upon the verdant meadows, continuing along the path before them.

“You know how long it took us to make that soap box car? I'm not letting all that go to waste just ‘cause the mad doctor decided to scrap it for his ‘research’", Cuphead ranted, gesturing with air quotes all the while. “Ummm, isn't that why he did it, though?”, inquired his brother. “Oh no, Mugman.”, answered Cuphead as he leaned towards him. “There's a reason he didn't show up at the celebration that day. Probably has some beef with us after what we happened to his giant robot.”

“It was either that or have our own souls taken. Besides, we freed his soul as well.”

Cuphead turned to give his brother a questioning stare, leaving him in a stupor until finally, it hit him, “Oh wait, it was his robot's”.

“Exactly. That guy would sacrifice whatever being it had just to save his own skin. He's a real rascal, that one.”

“Yeah, I bet if we had our own, we'd be a whole lot nicer to him.”, Mugman remarked.

As this exchange transpired, they came to approach a bridge raised atop a running stream, lined with all manner of rocky formations. They started across the oaken walkway, each step creaking it all the more.

“Look, if all you're gonna do is listen to Elder Kettle and have our work be for nothing, go ahead. Me, I'm gonna get our car back!", Cuphead declared before marching forward, determination plastered on his face.

Mugman sighed dejectedly, troubled by this reckless streak on display. “Fine, I'll join you. But only because I can't let you go on your own. Not after you got walloped by Ribby and Croaks.”

“ Hmph, whatever you say, then”, muttered the red one, forming a furrowed brow.

The two continued their course throughout the islet, until the very first die house came into view. Cuphead, still miffed at the “protective” presence of his brother, felt his hand boil with a radiating orange hue, a building tension rigged to explode. He quickly turned, took aim at the nearby clump of forest, and released a charge shot with all the rage he could muster. As it vanished through the thick leaves, he let out a relaxed sigh, but not without his brother's eyes on him. “Something wrong?”, inquired Mugman with a concerned look. “Nah”, was all Cuphead responded with. It was then they heard a nearby clank, seemingly from that same foliage. Both turned towards the noise, taken aback by its sudden emergence.

“By golly, what was that?”, wondered Cuphead.

“How should I know? Didn't sound like any tree I've heard.” Mugman then motioned for Cuphead to come along. “C'mon, let's see what it was.” He immediately objected. “Hey, what happened to taking back our kart?”

“That can wait. For now, we need to check out what the noise was.” Cuphead simply rolled his eyes and followed suit.

After a few moments of brushing aside any wayward shrubbery, they soon came upon a small clearing, previously unknown to either of them. As the two took continuous glances of this untouched glade, Cuphead was the first to spot a small hill erected at its center, where the sun's glow gleamed the brightest. Atop this miniature summit was a peculiar, oblong structure draped with tinges of greenery, effectively masking its true appearance. “Hey, Mug, look there. What is that?”, Cuphead pointing to the object in question. “Don't know. Could be anything.”

“Well whatever it is, it's long past due for a trim.”, he japed.

“Oh gosh, no. Job like that calls for the entire quartet”, chuckled Mugman as he stepped ever closer to this mysterious figure. His pace slowed as he began to make out finer features like its robust build as well as its box-like head. On its forefront was a mangled hatch, oddly captured in a square indent while enveloped by an alloy unlike the rest. After maintaining a fixed gaze upon the unkempt unit, he noticed an absence of vines on its midriff, a mark made in no small part by Cuphead's little "vent". Then, as if on cue, ”Hey, Mug. We gonna get going or what?”, yelled the excitable cup, snapping him out of his stare.

Please note this is not reflective of the final product and is subject to change.

An Experiment Gone Wrong - 3

The last bit feat. LOTS OF PAIN

Sally tried to back up, but got cornered as the Devil walked towards her with the gun pointed at her face.

“Any last words?”

Sally looked around, noticing that the desk lamp was floating towards the direction the Devil’s facing.

“Desk lamp!” Sally shouted.

The desk lamp landed on the Devil’s head, making him unconscious as Sally runs out of the Devil’s grip.

Sally ran away as the bee cop cuffed the Devil. She met him outside not long after, him dragging the unconscious Devil to the police station.

“We caught him...” She panted.

Sally let the bee cop do his work as she left for the church again. The bodies had been taken away in preparation to be buried, but she hoped their spirits would still be around. The sun was coming down, and she sat in a pew, exhausted from today.

“Werner? Alfred? You guys there?”

There was no sign of any paranormal activity. Sally sighed to call out their names again.

"Werner? Alfred? You still here, we found the culprit."

Nothing happened again. Sally stood up, knowing that their spirits are gone. The church lights opened as Sally turned her back to find a big casket being carried by a group of men. The lady ran up to find both Dr. Kahl and Werner inside the same casket. The men placed the casket on a stand on the church stage, Sally stayed there to look at the corpse.

“Oh...that’s right. The funeral is tomorrow morning.” Sally remembered. She had gotten wrapped up in the quest to bring them to justice that she’d almost forgotten about it.

It seemed like the ghosts weren’t going to appear tonight, so Sally made the decision to leave the church. But before she did, she positioned Kahl and Werner so that they were holding each other’s hands.

The ghosts appeared just as she left, completely missing their chance to see her. The two of them decided to inspect their bodies in the double casket.

“Goodness, does my head wound look that big?” Kahl asked.

“Alfred, mine looks bigger.” Werner inspected.

“I look like I overslept.” Kahl giggled.

“So do I!”

The two men continue to laugh and talk until they noticed something inside. “Look at our hands, Wern.”

Kahl pointed to the bodies. Wern closely inspected to find his corpse’s hand on his husband’s hand, Kahl’s body did the same.

“Do you get what this means?”

“Könnte sein, vat does it mean?”

“It means they want us to be together, Wern. Even though we were killed just before I finish my vow.”

Werner repeatedly blink and quivered his mouth, looking at the bodies again. Noticing both hands have their wedding bands on them. “Zat vas very sweet of zhem.”

The funeral had two extra guests hiding up above the rest of the crowd where nobody else could see. The ghosts of Kahl and Werner were curious to see what people had to say about them, and who would show up.

The church was filled with Inkwell residents, some they knew well but others they didn’t know who had heard of the tragedy and wanted to pay respects. All of the windows on one side of the church were open for the robot to view from outside. The organist finished playing, and the first person to deliver a eulogy took the stand.

The ghosts sat of the front empty pew, listening to what Sally’s going to say.

“Werner and Alfred were supposed to be a happy, loving, and joyful couple. However, that didn’t happen. Both of them were shot on the head by one of the Devil’s minions. I wanna give my respect to both of my friends. Werner, my childhood friend, he was someone I’d talk to whenever I feel upset. Alfred on the other hand, was just someone I met last year. Werner introduced him to me, I was happy to have another friend. For now, I’ll let the two rest and be together in a better place.”

Sally left the podium. “Is there someone else who wants to talk?” Bon Bon stood up.

Sally went back to her seat as the baroness went up to the podium. Little did Sally know that Werner and Kahl were sitting next to her, hearing what people were gonna say about them.

“Zat vas very sweet, Sally” Werner patted her shoulder, although she can’t hear or feel him.

Bon Bon took her place at the pedestal.

“I didn’t know Werner very well, aside from that he made Dr. Kahl a very happy man. But I did know Dr. Kahl. I knew him since I was little, and was always welcomed into his workshop and helped his son feel welcome in this world. Growing up in a family that was mostly composed of people groveling at my feet because of my status as Baroness, going to his run-down factory to visit him and the robot felt more...down to earth. It was like having a secret second family who loved me because I was a curious little kid who wanted to learn. And Alfred Kahl was always willing to teach.”

Kahl clutched his hands over his chest.

“That’s so sweet of her...”

“The world lost not just a brilliant mind, but a brilliant person. And I hope that wherever he is, he knows we love and miss him.”

Each eulogy the residents gave made both Werner and Kahl emotional, both knowing how people think of them.

Werner's stomach started to rumble. "Alfred, I'm hungry."

"There's food at the back. Let me lead you there."

The two men sneaked, even though no one can see them, got the table to find a variety of food on the table.

The two started to gobble up the food from the table. Wally Jr. who was sitting near the table, can see the food floating in mid air.

"Dad..." He shook his father's wing. "The food is floating!"

“Son, don’t make a scene.” Wally scolded before noticing the same thing Junior did. “...What on earth?”

The other guests began to notice one by one as well. Soon everyone was staring in the direction of the ghosts, unsure how to react or process this.

“...Alfred? I zhink we’ve been caught.”

“Well then. Should we appear?”

"Maybe not."

The ghosts slowly brought down the food back on the plates. As they were placing going back to their seat, they started to turn bluish and translucent.

"Wern, why are you appearing?"

"I don't know, vhy are you appearing?"

The two men continued, not knowing that the guest were watching them.

The two ghosts were now completely visible to all the guests, staring at them in wide-eyed silent shock. Nobody knew what to say or how to react, until Werner decided to break the silence.

“Danke shoen, everyone. Ve vatched ze whole funeral. You all had very kind words to say, and ve appreciate it.”

Sally stepped forwards tentatively, a soft smile on her face. “They caught the guy who did it. The Devil sent a hitman to...”

A lump caught in her throat and her bottom lip began to quiver. Werner consoled her, hugging her even though she couldn’t feel it.

"Oh Werner, I missed you! I was looking for your spirits yesterday, but you guys didn't show up."

"Ve usually show up after 6 or somezhing, but I'm glad to see you again."

Sally wiped her tears as she lets go of Werner. "I'm actually surprised that you guys actually showed up on your own funeral. As a ghost, of course."

"We have one more eulogy before we finish." The two ghosts went up to the podium, with Kahl going first.

Kahl’s ghost cleared his throat.“Werner Werman was an incredible man, and though his life was rough for several years, he never let that bring down his spirits. Most of you may know him as a war veteran or a skilled mechanical engineer, but I knew him first as a friend, then something more.”

Werner was giving Kahl a tear-filled smile as he spoke.

“He was a compassionate man who refused to be defined by his hard life, or be jaded by it. My fiancé may be gone, but I know he’s in a better place. Because he never really left.” Kahl stepped down to let Werner take the podium next.

Werner stepped over to the podium, taking a view breaths of anticipation before starting his speech. “Dr. Alfred Kahl vas a brilliant man. His life vas somezhing extraordinary. He built a robot vith a soul, he made people happy, vhen ve bumped into each other, he made me happy zat I found someone to be vith. Ve vere friends at first, but as ze months passed, ve became more zhan just friends.”

Kahl smiled, eyes starting to water.

“He vas someone zat vill alvays talk to you. I know my fiancé is gone, but like vat Alfred said, he never left because I’m vith him.”

Werner stepped down from the podium to hug his ghost husband. The guests started praising and clapping.

“But are we legally husbands? I haven’t even finished my vow. Where’s the pastor? He hasn’t announced us man and husband yet.”

The pastor was among the guests at the funeral, standing up to give an officiation for the ghosts. He could see that the wedding bands Sally had put on them earlier were still on their ghostly fingers. He decided to skip most of the speech and go directly to the part the men had been waiting to hear.

“Do you, Alfred, take Werner to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, ‘til death ‘til you part?”

“We aren’t going to part, even in death. But yes. I do.”

“And do you, Werner Werman, take Alfred to have and to hold, as long as you both after-live?”

“I do.”

“Then I now pronounce you man and husband. You may now kiss the groom.”

Kahl leaned in to his husband again. Everyone started to celebrate just like it’s a wedding. The robot blew a small popper from outside. The two men pulled over, hugging afterwards.

“Alfred, I love you. Even if death tried to take us apart.”

For some reason, Kahl and Werner’s corpses slowly started to smile. Could this be some spiritual connection to their late-marriage?

“Alfred, look!” Werner pointed at the casket.

“...How is that possible?” Kahl asked.

“I don’t know, but I think it’s a sign.”

“You know, you may be right. We’ve been officially married and we’ve been avenged so maybe this means...?”

The two men held hands as they started to glow a little brighter. “Ve can finally be at peace.”

They started to glow brighter until they were both bright white haloed silhouettes. The guests couldn’t tell if they kissed or not, their faces moved closer to each other as they were glowing their brightest. But as soon as their faces touched, there was a bright flash that blinded the whole church for a moment then vanished.

Sally felt a little bit of bittersweet relief. The men were finally free of this world and gone to a better place beyond the mortal realm, but that meant they were gone forever.

“...We’ll miss you.”

(cue Haunted Waltz)

Coco Jojo (as a ghost), wearing a Victorian white wedding dress and veil, is floating around in an old Victorian mansion, holding a candelabra.

Ghost!Coco Jojo: “Hello? Is anyone there?”

A familiar ghost materialized behind Coco Jojo wearing WWI German clothing.

Ghost!Werner: “I’fe peen vaiding for you, mein Liebling *my darling*.”

Ghost!Coco Jojo: (turns around to see Ghost!Werner) “Werner?”

Ghost!Werner: (floats towards Ghost!Coco Jojo) “Hallo, Fräulein CJ *Hello, Miss CJ*. Care to choin me on zis dance, mein erröten geisterhafte Braut *my blushing ghostly bride*?” (holds his hand out)

Ghost!Coco Jojo: (blushes and lets go of the candelabra) “Werner...” (smiles) “Yes. Yes, I do.” (holds Ghost!Werner's hand)

The two began to waltz. It was hauntingly beautiful. Later, they stopped and held hands.

Ghost!Coco Jojo: “Oh, Werner, I hope this never ends.”

Ghost!Werner: “Ja, me neither, mein pride.”

Ghost!Coco Jojo: “So, how about we kiss?”

Ghost!Werner: “Wunderbar. Ich liebe dich, Coco Jojo, mein Liebling. *Great. I love you, Coco Jojo, my darling.*”

Ghost!Coco Jojo: “And I love you too, Werner Werman, my brave soldier.”

The two began to kiss. It was a rather long kiss as they laid down. It was enchanting. When they stopped, they began to hug.

Ghost!Coco Jojo: “Let’s never part again.”

Ghost!Werner: “Ich stimme zu. *I agree.*”

(a record scratch was heard off-screen as the song stops and switches to Partners in Crime)

Suddenly, they were interrupted by singing.

Hazel (off-screen): You’ll never take us alive

Dr. Kahl (off-screen): We swore that death will do us part They’ll call our crimes a work of art

The scene switches to a 1920′s city where Coco Jojo and Werner (still as ghosts in the same attires) are at. Then came Hazel (dressed in a purple 1920′s dress and witch hat, indigo gloves, black boots, white leggings with indigo stripes and a white boa considering that she literally is a witch) and Dr. Kahl (dressed in a white 1920′s suit, shoes and fedora, light blue dress shirt and black tie), who are still singing, much to Coco Jojo and Werner’s surprise.

Hazel: You’ll never take us alive

Dr. Kahl: We’ll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners

Both: Partners in crime

They pointed their guns at Coco Jojo and Werner (unintendedly), making the ghosts shocked as they got up and put their hands in the air.

Dr. Kahl: Partners in crime

Having enough of this, Coco Jojo and Werner flew towards Dr. Kahl and Hazel and glared at them.

Ghost!Coco Jojo: (annoyed) “What are you doing?! You’re ruining our moment!”

Dr. Kahl: (smirking) “Oh, hello, CJ. And Werner’s here too? How’s death?”

Ghost!Werner: “Ve’re ghosts.”

Hazel: “No kidding. You died in the war and your blushing bride probably died in her wedding. You’re like Romeo and Juilet.”

Ghost!Werner: “Und I zuboze zat you und Kahl are Ponnie und Clyde, right? Zen vy are you schtill aliffe?”

Hazel: (offended) “What?!”

Dr. Kahl: (outraged) “Hey, you can’t talk about my girlfriend like that?! What do you think this is?!”

Ghost!Coco Jojo: “I think someone oughta put you in jail! That’s what it is, old man!”

Dr. Kahl: “That’s it! ROBOT!”

Dr. Kahl’s Robot (in 1920′s steampunk form) arrives.

Dr. Kahl: (points at Ghost!Coco Jojo and Ghost!Werner) “Get those ghosts!”

Dr. Kahl’s Robot: “Yes, sir.”

Coco Jojo and Werner screamed as they flew away, only for the robot to chase them. Dr. Kahl and Hazel decided to sing.

Hazel: The skies are black with lead-filled rain,

Dr. Kahl: A morbid painting on display,

Hazel: This is the night the young love died,

Without warning, they were both hit in the head by Fluffy (the Cat from the Final Phase of Murine Corps; in human form; dressed in a 1920′s zoot suit and fedora), carrying a baseball bat. This made the two fell into the floor as they laid next to each other as if they were pretending that they’re dying.

Dr. Kahl: Buried at each other's side,

The two each closed their eyes.

Hazel: You never took us alive

Dr. Kahl: We swore that death would do us part So now we haunt you in the dark,

This made Coco Jojo, Werner and the Robot stop and stare at Dr. Kahl and Hazel in concern. Fluffy also stared at the two, but rather in annoyance.

Hazel: You never took us alive,

Dr. Kahl and Hazel held hands as he smiled.

Dr. Kahl: We live as ghosts among these streets, Lovers and partners Partners in-

(a record scratch was heard off-screen as the song stops)

???: “What is going on around here?”

Dr. Kahl and Hazel opened their eyes in shock and got up as they, Dr. Kahl’s robot, Coco Jojo, Werner and Fluffy turned to see...

Ghost!Coco Jojo, Ghost!Werner, Dr. Kahl, Hazel, Dr. Kahl’s Robot and Human!Fluffy: “Sally Stageplay?”

By the looks of it, she’s not happy as her hands are on her hips.

Sally: “Well, I’m waiting.

In realty, Coco Jojo (normal and in her regular attire), Werner (normal and in his regular attire), Dr. Kahl (in his regular attire), Hazel (in her regular attire), the Robot (normal) and Fluffy (in his regular attire) are all at Inkwell Theatre.

Werner: “CJ and I vere valtsing und it vas zo peautiful!”

Coco Jojo: “Unfortunately, Dr. Kahl and Hazel Wicked stole our spotlight!”

Dr. Kahl: (glaring at Coco Jojo) “Your spotlight? Excuse me?” (to Sally) “Hazel and I were singing!”

Hazel: “Unfortunately, Werner insulted me and CJ did a horrible remark on Kahl!”

Dr. Kahl’s Robot: “I was following Dr. Kahl’s orders.”

Human!Fluffy: (referring to Dr. Kahl and Hazel) “I had to stop these two somehow. Meow...”

Sally:

“Wow, you guys are hard to understand.”

Cuphead

Recently, instead of working on updates, I’ve been playing Cuphead, since it was 15% off (again), so I figured, hey, why not. I was hesitant because my only functioning controller’s left thumbstick no longer works so well when moving to the right (the “right” command doesn’t register sometimes). But I did it anyways. And suffered quite a few times for it. But ehn.

Absolutely LOVE the music.

And now that I’ve beaten the game on Expert and gotten every achievement (I will be back for the S rank on every boss. 8 more to go!), I think it’s time to rank the bosses in terms of how much I struggled against them in total. The basis is kind of funky, since for some bosses I tried to get an S rank (I got A+ on every boss for the Regular run) from the beginning, but for some I was happy to just beat them. So for the “S rank” attempts, I retried the moment I got hit, and for the others I tried until I got hit twice.

So here goes. From easiest to hardest. Golly!

1) Goopy Le Grande

While I kind of f*cked it up a few times in regular, that’s because it was the first time playing the game. But on Expert... I f*cked it up only once and that was due to the controller being an ass again. Went right to dodge, but that command wasn’t registered so Cuphead stood there and got flattened. Still, this boss has no ranged attacks, so easy.

2) Grim Matchstick

For some reason or other, this dragon was REALLY easy. In regular, it took me a grand total of about 6 minutes to get A+ on it, and only took slightly more tries to get S on the Expert run. And some of those failures were caused by accidentally falling through the cloud instead of jumping. Whoops.

3) The Root Pack

The very first boss. And for some stupid reason, it took me more tries than it should have to get S rank. The onion f*cked me a few times. I did not think the tears would fall so quickly. And because of those tears, it took me more tries on this boss than the dragon. WHY?! Stupid onion.

4) Sally Stageplay

EASY. ... I also did not realize that I could jump onto those cupids. I learned the hard way, and that flustered me enough that I could not dodge the dive kick. But still, this boss was kind of pitiful.

5) Werner Werman

This... er... Prussian mouse was also quite easy. Though a few times, it wouldn’t catapult the parry opportunities, forcing me to try to get the parries with the ghosts, and then f*cking it up there.

6) King Dice

Boss rush aside, the dice man himself was pretty damn easy. And for the boss rush, #2, 5, and 7 were the easiest ones. Though 3, 4, and 8 were also easily manageable. F*ck 6. For some stupid reason, I couldn’t parry the die on the right moment a LOT of the times, forcing me to battle like 5 bosses before getting to King Dice... and two instances of landing on “start over”. Fortunately, the “start over” doesn’t reset the bosses, so I could just land on the now-safe boss places all the way to King Dice.

7) Cagney Carnation

I got slapped by that flower FAR more times than I’d like to admit. But as long as the pink seeds were parried before hitting the ground, things were kind of easy. If the pink seed was not parried then it produces a damn flying brain plant that shoots at you and is kind of annoying.

8) Baroness Von Bon Bon

The headless candy lady and her cake house from hell. None of the stages were particularly hard, but I did f*ck up quite a few times for some reason.

9) Phantom Express

Ooh, spooky. But the level gives me FAR too many parries, allowing me to spam the ultimate attack pretty often. The pumpkin has f*cked me a couple of times by moving that cart, though.

10) Dr. Kahl’s Robot

Bullet hell! But easily manageable. I only struggled hard at first because I destroyed the first phase targets in the wrong order. Laser + homing bombs = go f*ck yourself. No laser + homing bombs = much, much easier.

The last phase is annoyingly long but fortunately, I do quite well in bullet hell kind of games. So easy!

11) Beppi the Clown

Ah, RNG has f*cked me quite often here, though when is that anything new? Parry a pink balloon and immediately get hit by another balloon had JUST spawned right above it. Over and over and over. And that rollercoaster comes at the most inopportune moments.

12) Captain Brineybeard

The boss that’s actually super easy, and yet I kept f*cking it up over and over to the point where I opted to get the S at a later date. Came so close so many times and yet, not yet. On Regular, this boss is stupidly easy. On Expert... no. But I will return one day to get the S. 1 of the 8 bosses I haven’t S’ed yet.

13) Ribby and Croaks

Another boss I haven’t been able to S rank yet. On Regular, EASY! Expert... no. Both frogs attacking at once is kind of overwhelming at times, and the slot machine phase is... really fast. ... But I will return. 2 of 8.

14) Hilda Berg

The freaking green zeppelins... 3 of 8 that I haven’t S’ed yet. I know what I need to do but I keep messing it up. Why must they send that many green zeppelins on Expert?

15) Djimmy the Great

That f*cking hat. That f*cking hat! 4 of 8... One day I shall get an S.

16) Wally Warbles

Another easy boss on Regular that’s a real pain in the ass on Expert. The egg shell that splits off into 5 pieces instead of 3 is the bane of my attempts at an S rank on this boss. 5 of 8. I will be back for the S rank...

17) Cala Maria

If RNG is involved, it will f*ck me, 9 times out of 10. That’s the only reason why I haven’t been able to get an S here yet, and why this boss is so annoying for me. Medusa, why? 6 of 8.

18) The Devil

The final boss of the game! Surprisingly manageable, but I kept f*cking it up. I walked right off the platforms in the latter phases WAY too many times. And shadowflame, my arch nemesis in the first phase. I know all the steps. I just have to NOT f*ck it up and hope that the shadowflame doesn’t come. 7 of 8. I will be back for the S.

19) Rumor Honeybottoms

... This f*cking bee. Oi, oi, oi! Must the platforms hate me too? “Time to jump and... WHERE ARE THE PLATFORMS?!” This damn bee took me an hour and a half to get A+. No other boss took remotely as long. And I have no idea how long it’ll take me to get S. I certainly came VERY close quite a few times (surprisingly early on, too), and... I got punched by the bee plane. Over and over :(

I’ve done the surprisingly fun thing of mashing A as fast as I could the moment I parry into the pink ball so I’m parrying the ball while I’m inside, over, and over, and over until I parry out of it, coming out with all five cards... and then falling off the f*cking platform.

... But one day, I will return for the S. ... Maybe. Hopefully. For vengeance! 8 of 8.

Glitch AU

So we came up with an AU in the Discord chat that @gutsywuts drew Beppi for a while ago, so I thought I’d expand on it! WARNING FOR SOME DISTURBING STUFF BELOW THE READ MORE

So in the Glitch AU, something happened to the game’s file. Whether it was a simple glitch, got possessed by some sort of spirit or demon, or something else, it doesn’t matter. But whatever happened, it horribly corrupted the game, turning the Inkwell Isles into a wasteland and its residents, including the bosses, into terrifying monsters. The goal of the game is not to get the soul contracts to the Devil, but to put the suffering, mutated remnants of what the characters used to be out of their misery.

The game starts like normal, with the MDHR screen, but from there, it’s fully corrupted. The game pulls up to this title screen, playing “Don’t Deal with the Devil” backwards, similarly to how it does in the normal game when you get the bad ending and start up the game again.

There are no savestates or introduction sequence, but when you start the game, it goes to black, then cuts to inside Elder Kettle’s house. He looks weak and sickly, the only sound being his shaky breaths. He holds out the potion to Cuphead, then slowly falls forward onto the floor, revealing the huge, gaping hole in his back. All you can do is leave the house.

You go through the game killing the different bosses, with no cutscenes at all, and once you defeat King Dice, you go to the throne room.

But the Devil isn’t there.

His throne is empty and theres no sound other than the faint crackle of TV static. Nothing happens for about 3 minutes. Then, suddenly, it cuts to the final storybook, violently and rapidly flipping through pages too soaked in blood to read as a cacophony of noise assaults your eardrums, then slams shut to a blank cover.

The game crashes and is deleted from the computer, only leaving behind an image file that contains only the words “thank you”.

Anyways, I can’t think of a good way to transition so on to the boss designs! I don’t have visual refs for a lot of them and a few of them are just sketches, sorry!

Psy, Weepy, and Moe are all zombielike and decomposing, covered in mold and rot. Psy’s third eye is dripping blood, Weepy’s eyes are sewn shut to prevent his acid tears from flooding the world, and Moe can no longer speak, only doing what Psy tells him to.

Goopy is nothing but a blue puddle, but if something gets too close, he’ll start groaning and the liquid will rise up, forming an arm that tries to grab and digest anything it can reach.

Hilda is an eldritch abomination in the shape of a mood, with her Taurus head, Gemini head, and Sagittarius head sticking out in random places. Her own face is covered in deep craters.

Ribby and Croaks have fused together into a barely recognizable ball of flesh, various limbs and other body parts sticking out at random.

Cagney is a mass of tangled vines with an Audrey 2 style head at the top. He has a large hunk of pure flesh embedded in his chest, sometimes with eyes, sometimes not.

(art by @gutsywuts)

Beppi is torn in half down the middle, all the way down to his waist, and where he’s torn, sharp teeth line the inside and several long tongues flail around, flecking saliva. He has two legs and four arms, all twisted up like long balloons, and won’t stop laughing.

(see here)

Djimmi is bound by chains to his Sarcophagus and is covered in circular scars. If he gets too upset and wakes it up, the Sarcophagus opens like an iron maiden, its insides lined with flesh and teeth, and drags him in. It chews him to a pulp to feed on his blood, spits him back out, and covers him in a healing powder so he’ll reform, ready to be fed off of again later.

(art by @gutsywuts)

Bon Bon, instead of having no head, is covered in heads, always screaming.

Wally is a wooden bird puppeted by Junior, whose brain has grown so big that his head has split open in places.

Grim’s entire body is lined with burns so deep that in some places, you can see the bone, and he can’t stop crying.

Rumor is covered in her subjects, forever suffering as they try to smother her like bees do when they don’t accept a new queen.

Werner seems normal at first, until his can breaks apart, revealing that he’s only a lure on the tongue of a cat with a centipede-like body that goes on forever.

Brineybeard is gone. The boat ate him along with his marine friends, and still has bits and pieces of them in its teeth. Briney’s mutilated ghost haunts the ship.

Cala Maria is half eaten by the fish that were once her friends, stuck in her gorgon form with huge chunks bitten out of her body and a few fish and eels still clinging to her, feeding off of her flesh.

Dr. Kahl has permanently attatched himself to his robot, which has been upgraded into a terrifying death machine.

Sally resembles Amnion from Silent Hill, held up by spiderlike limbs with her bulging belly hanging below her. She has two pairs of angel wings on her back and two masks for faces, one happy and one sad like the traditional comedy and tragedy symbol.

Blind Specter is so covered in eyes that some are hanging out of their sockets and others have popped, dripping clear eye jelly.

And King Dice is exactly the same. Except he’s missing one thing.

A cupful of Cuphead theories and headcanons

I love Cuphead. I love 1930s animation and aesthetics. I love the warped, anything goes rubber hose style. I am a slut for big band music. I love how Cuphead and Mugman don’t have real guns, they just shoot magic ammo out of their fingers pointed like guns like little kids playing cowboys and Indians, er, Native Americans. Their starting gun is called a peashooter for God’s sake! I love how this innocent style is just like 1930s cartoons by having things that would trigger censors today, like smoking, drinking, gambling, deals with the devil, an overworld NPC that I swear is a razorblade (though I did find out it’s an axe), and a devil that is both nostalgic and original because I swear his look is modeled more after Krampus, who is often confused for the devil.

But, I am too casual of a gamer for hardcore, balls to the walls, survival of the fittest boss run games. Which I found out after finally playing this game a bit with my friend (who is a hardcore gamer) that I was right, this game made me its bitch. Though I was having fun, I felt sorry that my friend was carrying me and saving me through most of the battles, I kept confusing the dash button for the fire button at the last minute, and I still can’t parry at the right time! You wanna know how bad I still am at the game? I can barely make it through The Root Pack. Yes, even Goopy Le Grande beats my ass, and he’s one of the easiest bosses!

Thankfully, thanks to youtube, I am watching the hell out of let’s plays, reviews, and the occasional compilation of music, boss intros and boss taunts. (God I love the break song the barbershop quartet sings, can someone make that a ringtone?) Which is enough because, like someone who’s a fan and has played the hell out of the game itself, I have come up with my own theories and headcanons about the game. So, in no random order, and under the cut because they may include spoilers, here is my list of Cuphead theories.

Cuphead and Mugman are voiced by classic cartoon voices

Due to the let’s plays, I could barely hear the voices that were there in the game, which is very limited to begin with. Also, I love during the let’s plays where we can hear the players and they try coming up with their own voices, and most of them match the kind of voices of the time. Which is why I came up with my own ideas for what the voices would be. Like, as his theme song suggests, King Dice has a deep, Louis Armstrong voice, because you have to have that rich bass in a big band 1930s game. A let’s player had the right idea of giving the narrator a fast talking voice, even covering his mouth to give it that muffled, tin can, radio announcer voice, it’s too perfect. The devil could go both ways. Originally I thought he could have a 1930s gangster voice, because as a cross between a don boss, a casino owner, and the leader of hell, he easily went that route in the game. Another idea was one of the classic voices of the devil over the years, one I like to point out is the voice of the devil in that 1960s compilation cartoon where Yosemite Sam makes a deal with the devil to get Bugs Bunny, though it’s not the perfect voice fit for this type of devil, it’s still a fitting voice for the devil altogether.

But the one I think is most fitting is having Cuphead and Mugman voiced by the two voices that were the kings of nostalgic animation. Have Cuphead with the voice of Mel Blanc, aka Bugs Bunny, and Mugman with the voice of Walt Disney, aka Mickey Mouse. Not only the greatest throwback to cartoon nostalgia and history, but it fits what little personality we see out of the two. Cuphead we know is a risk taker, because he got the two in this mess with the devil, and in the boss battles he looks really into the running and gunning. While Mugman can be a little naïve and timid in the few cut scenes, in the boss battles he’s smiling away like he doesn’t have a care in the world. So, give Cuphead the voice of the classic wisecracking rabbit and Mugman the voice of the classic carefree mouse. Of course due to possible legal reasons and the obvious fact that Mel Blanc and Walt Disney are resting in their retirement up in heaven, we can’t exactly get the voices. But, we can always get as close to perfection as possible, and get the gist of the idea.

Not everyone made the same deal with the devil

It’s easy to assume that, like Cuphead and Mugman, every boss you meet made a gamble at the devil’s casino. But, I like to think that’s not exactly true, and some made different deals. One possible piece of evidence is that one of the boss’s is called Dr. Kahl’s Robot. Not, Dr. Kahl, his robot. Which makes me think of one of two possible things that happened. One, the robot became sentient, wandered to the devil’s casino and gambled away his soul and now Dr. Kahl is trying to protect his creation. Another is Dr. Kahl made a deal with the devil, but instead of putting his soul on the line he put his most prized invention on the line. It makes me think that not every boss gambled away their soul, but made different deals. Like, maybe The Root Pack made a deal to be the best mafia trio ever, or Captain Brineybeard made a deal to find some lost ancient treasure trove, or Djinni the Great made a deal for his freedom from wish granting servitude, or Rumor Honeybottoms made a deal for a newspaper monopoly, I mean are there any competing newspapers on Inkwell Isle? The list of theories goes on, but how about how they got in this spot of being runaway debtors? Well, the obvious thing is they never returned to the devil to give up their souls, but another idea is they also completed the same boss battle run as Cuphead and Mugman, but did not give the soul contracts to the devil and instead beat him up too. Thus furthering the hidden truth that Cuphead and Mugman could be the true bad guys in the game, or at least the antiheroes as they can do the right thing at times.

Cuphead and Mugman can replace King Dice

This is three theories in one based on one cut scene in the game. In Cuphead, when you face off against the devil, you have the option to turn in the soul contracts, but in turn you also take his place as his right hand man.

The first theory is that King Dice is the last character on Inkwell Isle who made a deal with the devil, collected the soul contracts, and said yes and turned them in. This made him the devil’s right hand man, aka manager of the casino. So, King Dice is both a pawn and a prisoner under the devil’s servitude.

The second theory is that you have the option to take King Dice’s place because you beat him before facing the devil. With no right hand man, the devil gives you the option to replace him. So, if you lost to King Dice you lose your soul and King Dice remains under the devil’s control, or there was a locked idea to skip King Dice, making you wonder if the deal would remain unaltered or the devil will alter it another way.

And the third theory is that, like the devil himself, this devil alters the deal, but at the same time he doesn’t go back on his word. This is perfectly in character with the devil as he’s a deal maker and a trickster. When he makes the deal he tells Cuphead and Mugman that after collecting the soul contracts he MAY pardon them. This wording shows he’s a trickster with words and his deals, as this makes his deal easily changeable. Which is why we have the two theories that go with it where King Dice took the altered deal and so can Cuphead and Mugman.

Taking the altered deal is a trick ending

So this isn’t a theory per se, but I do want to talk about the “bad ending” where you say yes to the devil’s altered deal. Yes, it ends in a bad ending as Cuphead and Mugman become the devil’s right hand man and you don’t get the final boss fight. But, I don’t think the setup is a bad ending, but a trick ending. Why? Because Cuphead and Mugman were told to collect the soul contracts, so if you finish the deal without reading how the devil altered it, you’ve been tricked to sealing Cuphead and Mugman’s fates. You do as you’re told and you get the bad ending. That’s not bad, that’s a trick. Therefore, Cuphead may have given us the rare instance of a trick ending. And, I have to say, that is perfectly in character for the devil.

The NPCs on the overworld don’t owe their souls, but are in debt to the devil

I’ve noticed that some of the NPCs who complain about the devil are really complaining about money issues. I think it’s because these selected NPCs went to the devil’s casino and lost money. Now they’re in debt to the devil through owing him money. Maybe that’s why in the world money is so scarce and you’re only finding it one coin at a time, a lot of the Inkwell Isle currency is going to the devil through IOUs. And since money is so scarce and some NPCs are still looking for it, they may end up owing more than money to the devil, as they may also have a time frame before the devil takes their souls in place of their money debt.

Other possible boss battles to coincide with the 1930s animation aesthetic

Again, not a theory, but it’s fun to suggest other ideas. This game did the perfect job emulating the 1930s animation style, but there’s still other styles they could play with.

Like, Tex Avery was popular in the 1930s, what if we had a Tex Avery inspired level where the animation is really anything goes. We’ve had a piece of that with some of the boss attacks, like Sally Stageplay teleporting by her parasol eating her or Wally Warbles head morphing into weapons and objects, and some could argue we did get that with Djinni the Great’s stage. But if we had a whole level like that, it would be a mind fuck of epic proportions.

Or, Walt Disney was popular back then, what if we had a Walt Disney inspired stage. We could have a Silly Symphony stage with amazing animation and fighting through a musical, like the stage music has lyrics and the background characters or even the boss’s lackeys are singing them. Hell, maybe the boss is singing too, that would be hard to synch up with the fight but amazing if it happened! Or maybe a boss fight that’s similar to one of Walt Disney’s early films, so even more amazing animation and rich colors as we’re fighting a boss out of a Disney movie. Maybe we’re fighting an evil queen, or maybe some players will have their hearts wrenched out as they have to fight the equivalent of Bambi’s mom.

We do have a hidden option to make the game black and white, but I still want to throw out the idea of having a whole level be in black and white. Maybe the animation is more faded, choppy and filled with scratches because the cartoon is so old it’s almost lost to history.

How about a throwback to propaganda where there’s a level in a warzone or a boot camp and you have to fight a soldier or general who fights with tanks, armies, maybe even bombs. That may be tricky because some propaganda also came with some offensive racist material and there may be hot water if the bombs were as deadly as atom bombs.

Oh, here’s a good one and a tip of the hat to the music, have one at a big band joint! Okay, we had one at Clip Joint Calamity, but the boss was two boxers. Why not fight against a group of big band players. Like, each stage you’re fighting against a member of the band. Take it further, have one stage be against a saxophonist, another against a trombonist, another against a trumpeter, and another against the drummer. Make the music of the level take it further, like the music is set so in each stage a solo is played by a saxophone, trombone, trumpet or drum set, and it fits perfectly in whatever point of the background song you’re in! Again, hard to synch up, but wouldn’t that be fucking awesome!

We could keep going, hell I even have some more ideas, but maybe we should stop there. And besides, the DLCs are rumored to be dropping in the near future, so maybe we should leave the surprises up to the creators themselves.

But that’s why I love Cuphead, even though it’s too damn hard for my gaming skills. And others love it too, especially those who can play it! I love how one let’s player got excited just on the title of the game just because he loves barbershop music. Isn’t that both awesome and adorable! Cuphead is the perfect mix of nostalgia, while catering to today’s gamers, and even through the tough times the independent game makers never compromised, they never let up. They went all the way and never gave up on their dream. And the best part, not only did their dream come true, but their dream was a success. Just like in a 1930s cartoon, things got difficult, things got bad, things even got dark and weird, but through it all, everyone got their fairytale ending.

Ideas for the Cuphead Au

So I finally typed up everyone’s (well mostly everyone) part and how they got there. Enjoy!

Cuphead and Mugman: New Actors, was founded by a director when in town one day. Rest is history

Elder Kettle: Also a first time actor, they all moved to the city hoping for a better life but didn't because of The Great Depression. However, they did buy a new place in the forest thanks to the money from the show.

King Dice: Veteran Actor, or should I say singer. The guy is infamous for his jazz music, all the girls swoon for him. He signed up for the role because he always wanted to be the bad guy for once. But whenever he's not in front of the cameras, he's like a dad to Cuphead and Mugman.

The Devil: Veteran Actor, he's also the actual Devil. So, whenever he sees a call for the Devil, he immediately sign up, I mean if you want something done right, do it yourself. He's pretty much the same whenever he's not in front of the cameras.

Inkwell Isle 1

The Root Pack: First time actors, they were also struggling to find jobs thanks to the Dust Bowl down south, but thanks to Cuphead and Mugman they got the part of being the first bosses in the game/show.

Goopy Le Grande: A veteran actor, I always imagined him as a comedian for some reason.

Hilda Berg: A new actor, but no stranger to the studio, she worked lights before being assigned the role. She was more than excited when she learned she was going to be a boss. When off camera she's definitely like an older sister to the main stars, even babysitting them whenever Elder Kettle has to go out

Cagney Carnation: A veteran actor, He's the one flower you see with the adorable look on his face and he HATES it. Like hates with a passion, so when he saw the opportunity opened, he signed up in a heartbeat. Sure enough he got his dream role of being a big scary flower boss.

Ribby and Croaks: Veterans, but are actually wrestlers. Cuphead and Mugman ADMIRED them! So around the time of their birthdays, the studio called them up to see if they can be bosses. Ribby and Croaks accepted, and the boys nearly fainted from pure joy. Now, they're like older brothers to the main stars as well as idols.

Inkwell Isle 2

Baroness Von Bon Bon: I actually imagined her as an advertisement icon, so when she saw the auditions that WASN'T for a cute, sweet, surgary commercial she took it, and nailed it. Thus becoming the ruler of a candy kingdom.

Beppi the Clown: A veteran actor, he used to have a kid's show that FLOPPED. So when in doubt, keep begging different studios until they take you in. XP

Djimmi the Great: I imagined him as a TV Psychic, he actually did go to Genie School, but was an expert psychic. He HATED it, and wanted to show off his genie powers. The psychic people said no, so he quit and auditioned for the role of boss, and he was more than excited to show off his genie powers FINALLY. This is another one that I can imagine a great relantionship with the main stars. I can see one of the boys getting upset because they keep getting frustrated with a take, and he'll do magic tricks to calm them down.

Grim Matchstick: A literal dragon, HELL YEAH he's a veteran actor! Whether it's being a guardian of a princess in the tower scenario to being a steed of a villain. So obviously, he signed up.

Wally Warbles: A veteran actor, or extra, you would normally catch him in the background as a giant cuckoo clock. So he was more than happy to have an actual role as well as his son.

Inkwell Isle 3

Rumor Honeybottoms: Another advertising icon, again so sick and tired of doing commercials. So she was excited to be an actual queen for once.

Captain Brineybeard: A new actor, he's actually a captain put dressed up as a pirate for kids. (Especially for his own kid) Now he gets to show off his pirate acting skills

Sally Stageplay: A veteran actor and so is her husband, however I imagined her and her husband signing up much earlier, so while they were sitting and waiting, she ended up getting pregnant and having her kid. So the studio decided to let their family to do the scene together

Werner Werman: An veteran actor from Germany, he moved from there for a new life of the stage so that's what he got. Mostly being the mouse hero with the Cat vs Mouse cartoons.

Dr. Kahl and his robot: Dr. Kahl was already famous for his scientific studios but is new to the movie business, and his robot well, this is robot's first everything.

Cala Maria: Again another icon for advertisement, but wanted to be a model. So the next best thing was acting for her.

Phantom Express crew: The Phantom Express was already pretty famous being the first undead actors in the business after all.

An Experiment Gone Wrong - 1

This is the newest tennis between me and Luds, you know how this goes by now.

Scene starts behind a curtain. "Ahh, finally! ve are alone. Peace and quite." "Wernie, yknow what two people do when they're alone."

Camera zooms outside of the curtain with Sally outside, playing the violin. The curtain closes and kissing can be heard. Sally stops playing the violin.

"Golly, are you boys having fun?"

“Sally! A little privacy, bitte?”

“Oh, I just can’t help it! I’m too excited for tomorrow!”

“It’s...OUR wedding you realize. You’re acting giddy like it’s yours.”

“I love weddings, that’s all! They’re so beautiful and romantic and-“ She pauses to squeal a bit.

“Vell, keep playing. Zhis is our last time to see each other before ze wedding.”

Sally goes back to playing, the fiancés sharing their romantic moment.

The wedding day turned out to be horrible. The day went normal but then one uninvited guest ruined the whole thing. This day was meant for two men to be happy but turned into a tragedy. Werner and Dr. Kahl were on the podium with Werner just finishing his vow. It was Kahl's turn but just before he finishes his sentence, a man in black showed up on the door and shot the doctor on the head.

Werner gasped. "Alfred.... no, no, NO!!!" The rat kneeled down and looked at the person who shot his soon-to-be husband. "Vhy vould you do zis?!"

The mysterious person cocked his gun again, as all the guests had fled screaming by this point. He aimed the gun at Werner, realizing that this wasn’t a random attack. He didn’t say anything, but there was a bang and for Werner, everything went dark.

The police arrived too late. Whoever did this had escaped, and were now on a manhunt for this person. The Robot and Sally were devastated, but swore to find the person who did this.

After the police left, Sally and the Robot went back to the front to find the two men laying on the ground.

"I'M SORRY!" The Robot cried. "THIS SHOULD'VE NOT HAPPENED!"

Sally placed her hand on the Robot's arm, comforting him after his loss. "This day is meant for them to be happy. Who would do such a thing like this?"

The church was dark and the only light source was the moon shining through the place. Something caught Sally's eye from the beam of darkness. It was two wedding rings meant for Kahl and Werner. She grabbed both rings and kneeled down to the corpses in front of her.

"I know it's already too late, but take these." She grabbed on of the men's hands to place a ring on it and did the same with the other.

“Thank you for that.” A voice said from somewhere within the church.

Sally’s blood went cold, standing straight up to look all around the church. “...Who’s there?”

The bluish specters of the two men appeared before Sally and the Robot. They were glowing softly and translucent, still wearing the tuxedos their corpses did. Kahl and Werner showed off their hands to show that the wedding bands had appeared on their fingers now as well.

“At least ve can be together in death, now.” Werner said, kissing his ghost husband on the temple.

“You’ve done us a great favor, but now we have work to do.” Kahl explained. “We need to find who did this.”

“FATHER? WERNER?” The Robot yelled out. “WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THIS TO YOU?”

“I don’t know, but as evidence. He’s wearing a black coat and a long black hat. He’s tall and armed with a gun.”

Sally had taken a few notes about the evidence. She tear out the paper and folded it. “Thank you, we’ll find him if we can.”

“Danke....” A small gust of wind blew as the two ghosts disappear in the mist. Sally and the Robot rushed out of the building and headed to the police station.

“We have some information to help solve a crime!” Sally announced as soon as she got to the front desk and handed the policeman bee the note. “This is the best description we could get of the person who murdered those two men at their wedding today.”

The policeman bee looked over the note, nodding as he studied the writing. “We appreciate the help. If you have any more info, be sure to tell us.”

“Trust me, I’ll get some.” Sally left the police station and climbed on the robot’s hand. The two of them left for the junkyard in order to brainstorm a way to solve this case.

“WHAT WOULD CAUSE A PERSON TO WANT TO KILL SOMEONE?” The robot asked.

“Did your dad have any enemies? Or Werner? Or maybe they just didn’t like gay people...”

“WE KNOW HE’S TALL AND HE’S A MAN. MY BEST GUESS MIGHT BE ONE OF THOSE MEMBERS OF THE CASINO. PERHAPS THE DEVIL.”

“That’s one.” Sally wrote down. “I HEARD WERNER’S DAD HATES GAY PEOPLE. I DON’T THINK HE WOULD DO THAT TO WERNER, BUT I GUESS HE TOOK IT TOO FAR.”

“Oh dear, but that’s two.”

“I GUESS ANOTHER MIGHT BE THAT CYCLOPS FROM RUGGED RIDGE. HE TRIED TO PICK A FIGHT WITH ME.”

“Hmmmm, I’ll write that down.”

“OH, ONE MORE MIGHT BE A FORK GUY WHO WORKS IN A RESTAURANT. HE HATES WERNER FOR HIS RECKLESS EATING BEHAVIOR.” “I know him, I’ll add him.”

“THATS IT, I GUESS.”

“Let’s head back to the police station.”

#This ended up turning into like a murder mystery au thing #an experiment gone wrong

Widowerner AU - Part 3

The family was ecstatic, but one person still wasn’t entirely convinced. “So his ghost is moving the little window thingy?” Wilbert asked. “Yup, it’s like a way for spirits to talk to us from the other side.” Rosie explained. “But why can’t we see him? Your dad’s a ghost too and we can see him.” “Because my dad crossed over from the other side and decided to stay here.” Wilbert tilted his head, then asked the board a question. “Can we /see/ you again, dad?” ‘Yes’ The air around everyone got colder all of a sudden. Rosie’s spine tingled, there was a lot of spiritual energy suddenly forming here and she could feel it. This is the last one, so enjoy it anons!! (Feat. Luds’ ghostblossom fankid)

Perhaps Nic has to wait for the perfect time for his idea to come. He told his dad he'll be out for a bit and went to the end of Isle 3 to find his friend, Rosie.

"Hey... sorry about your dad, Nic." She approached.

"I know.. say, now that my dad's a ghost....."

"What, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Let's find him if he's inside the train" The two said together.

They went inside the train as Rosie grabs a walkie talkie "Is Dr. Alfred Kahl on this train?" No ghost didn't come up to the young woman. Rosie faced her friend and sighed. "I think we're gonna have to do this the hard way."

"What do you mean 'the hard way'?"

"Get the Ouija board, we're summoning him."

The two of them sat down on the ground by the train with a Ouija board, both of them with their hands on the planchette and waiting for something to happen. Rosie had lit a candle and put it beside them as part of the ritual they were about to do.

“Do these things actually work?” Nic asked.

“Trust me, I’ve done this before.”

“How do we know if the spirit isn’t lying?”

“I’ll be able to tell. Now. If there is a presence here, let us know.”

The candle wavered and went out, but neither of them felt any wind. Nic’s eyes widened. Is this really it?

“We are looking for the spirit of this boy’s recently deceased father. Are you the ghost of Dr. Alfred Kahl?”

The planchette seemed to skitter, slowly hovering to the ‘yes’.

"Dad?!"

"Shhhh, don't scare his spirit away away."

Nic kept quiet as a small gust of wind whooshed over his face. "Are you lying? If not, do you know my name?"

The planchette slowly moved to the 'no'. Meaning the ghost is not lying. Then the planchette hovered to the letters 'N', 'I' and 'C'.

"Dad.... can you hear me?" The planchette moved over to the 'yes' again. Nic was relieved. He's actually talking to his dad.

“Oh my god, it’s really you! Dad, we’ve missed you so much!”

‘I M-I-S-S Y-O-U T-O-O’

“But, with this, it’s like you’re not really gone! Rosie, this is amazing!”

Nic stopped himself. He realized this could be his chance to say something to his dad. “Listen...I’m sorry I was a bad kid growing up. I keep thinking back to all the times I got mad and yelled at you, and I just feel awful and stupid. And I’m sorry I never got to say goodbye as you were dying. ...Can you forgive me?”

‘I A-L-R-E-A-D-Y H-A-V-E’

Nic felt a weight off his shoulders. “Is there any way we can see you again?”

‘YES’

“I can feel the presence slowly leaving.” Rosie said with urgency. “Spirit, send your final message before I lose the connection.”

‘B-R-I-N-G T-H-E R-E-S-T T-O-M-O-R-R-O-W’

The planchette slowly scooted to the 'good-bye'.

Nic had a small smile on his face. "Rosie. thank you."

"You're welcome."

Nic stood up and went back home, it was already late at the evening and he had to come back for dinner. He got back home with Werner and Wilbert at the table.

"Goodness, vhy are you late? Your dinner's getting cold."

"Sorry dad, I actually did something really awesome today."

"Vat is it?"

"I talked to dad!"

Werner didn't believe that much. Did this really happen?

“How is zhat possible?”

“So you remember my friend Rosie? She and I went and channeled his spirit! We actually got to talk to him for a bit.”

Werner was amazed. “Can ve see him?”

“He wants us to meet him again tomorrow. You, Wilbert, Uncle Robot, all of us should go to Rosie’s tomorrow so we can do this again.”

As Nic ate his cold dinner, Werner felt a warm feeling rising in his chest. A mix of excitement and relief, he had felt so empty after his husband died and now they had something to help with that feeling.

It was already past bedtime, quarter to midnight, Nic is still up writing something in his journal.

'I did something awesome today. I talked to my friend Rosie earlier to ask if my dad's ghost is present. Fortunately, this board thingy (Ouija? is that the spelling?) called my dad's ghost and I was able to talk to him! I promise him to bring my family tomorrow so my other dad can see him too! For now I should be asleep. This is Nic Werman, signing out. Good night!'

Nic closed his journal and placed both the book and the pencil on his desk and turned off the lights. He snuggled under his blanket and closed his eyes. By the window, a ghostly figure can be seen forming a shape of an old man. Dr. Kahl touched the glass to see his son asleep.

"Thank you, Nic....."

***

Nic could barely concentrate at all the next day. This was going to be the real deal, his family was going to see what he saw last night. When nightfall finally came, he rushed everyone out of the house to meet up with Rosie.

“So, why are we here again?” Wilbert asked as they arrived at the haunted railroad tracks.

“Rosie has a way for us to speak to dad again. When I spoke to dad’s ghost last night, he wanted all of us to come here.”

Wilbert’s eyes got wider and he had to hide his excitement. Werner was trying to do the same, still a bit skeptical about how this exactly worked. Rosie was waiting outside for them, ready to begin.

"You guys know the drill?" Rosie asked as she lit the candle.

"What's this board thing?" Wilbert touched it.

"Hey... you don't want to summon an evil ghost."

Wilbert placed his arms away as they all wait for any paranormal presence.

"If there is a presence, let us know." A sudden gust of wind blew, the candle was put out. Nic had a smile on his face, knowing his dad came. "We are looking for the soul of this family's recently deceased relative. Are you the ghost of Dr. Alfred Kahl?"

'Yes'

Werner opened his eyes to find out his husband had came to see them. "Alfred? Is zis really you?"

'I-T-S M-E W-E-R-N-E-R"

It was the robot's turn to ask. "FATHER? ARE YOU ACTUALLY TALKING TO US?"

'Yes'

The family was ecstatic, but one person still wasn’t entirely convinced.

“So his ghost is moving the little window thingy?” Wilbert asked.

“Yup, it’s like a way for spirits to talk to us from the other side.” Rosie explained.

“But why can’t we see him? Your dad’s a ghost too and we can see him.”

“Because my dad crossed over from the other side and decided to stay here.”

Wilbert tilted his head, then asked the board a question. “Can we see you again, dad?”

‘Yes’

The air around everyone got colder all of a sudden. Rosie’s spine tingled, there was a lot of spiritual energy suddenly forming here and she could feel it.

Rosie felt the tingling on her head. Her eyes twitched a bit and she placed her hands on her head to find the signal. "I can feel something. Spirit, show yourself."

The air blew in a moderate to fast speed. The candle managed to light itself as the family felt the coldness of the wind. The wind starts to form a shape of a man, the wind suddenly stopped as the family saw the ghost of Alfred.

"Dad?" Nic gasped. "Is that..... you?"

“It is.” He replied.

Kahl looked down at his arms and hands, then the rest of his body. He was now bluish and transparent, his legs gone with a spindly ghost tail taking his place.

“Well, this is an interesting form, isn’t it?”

“Dad!” Nic wasted no time running over to his dad to hug him, as tightly as he could.

Kahl’s new body was weightless and couldn’t be felt by Nic, but Kahl could feel how tightly Nic was grabbing on. Wilbert joined, grabbing ahold of Kahl’s ghost tail and hugging that. Kahl wrapped his arms against both boys, even though they couldn’t feel it.

“I’m back, boys. You don’t have to cry any more.” This didn’t stop them, though. Both boys were overwhelmed with emotion.

Uncle Robot put a hand down for Kahl to climb on to, just as he did when Kahl was alive. But the robot was surprised to see Kahl float up towards his face and give his cheek a hug.

“Look at that! I don’t need to climb on your hand any more. Have you missed me?”

The robot gave his tiny ghost creator a squeeze, then let him float back down. Werner had been the most shocked about this, standing perfectly still and watching his dead husband suddenly appear before his eyes. Now it was his turn, and Kahl’s ghost stood before him with a gentle look in his eyes. Both men waited for the other to speak first.

The waiting is starting to get a bit awkward. Both men wanted to speak but they don't want to talk first.

"A-A-Alfred?" The rat began.

Dr. Kahl hugged him tightly, even though his husband can't feel it. Werner wrapped his arms around his dead husband as his eyes began to water.

"I missed you very much." Kahl continued to hug. He can feel his husband's tears pour down and landing on his shoulder. "Please don't cry, my love. I'm here, it's ok."

"Alfred... I miss you too.." Werner kept sobbing as he can feel the love coming back from the doctor.

“You don’t have to miss me anymore. I’m here now. I’ve crossed the plane, I can be with you all again. ...Just as a ghost.”

Werner jolted back. “You are?!”

“It’ll take some getting used to, me being a ghost and all. But I couldn’t bare to leave you. All of you.”

Werner started to laugh-cry. He tried nuzzling his husband’s hair like he would when Kahl was alive, so happy for his return.

“...Can you feel zhat?” Werner’s voice was hoarse from crying.

“I can, actually.”

“Can you feel zhis?” Werner pulled the ghost in for a kiss. Kahl was shocked for a moment but kissed his husband back, not sure if Werner could tell that he did.

The two men continue to kiss, thought one of them can't feel the other one. They pulled away and held each other's hands.

"It's really great talking to you again."

"Alfred, I vish you can stay here for a bit, but I know it's time for you to go."

"I wish too. I wish I can spend more time with you guys again."

The family pulled into a group hug for good-bye. Dr. Kahl can feel his family's love again, even though he's dead. Now it's time for him to say good-bye.

"I'll go back to the other side now. Don't worry, I will see you guys again, one day." The doctor waved his arm. "Good-bye!"

The wind slowly blew as Dr. Kahl's ghost disappears along with the air. Werner wiped his tears as the wind stopped blowing.

"Zhank you, Alfred......."

Robo Ragtime Ch #1

“Aww, c'mon, Mugs. Can't we just sneak into-.”

“For the last time, Cuphead, we're not breaking into Dr. Kahl's junkyard. Those security bots would cook us alive.”

“It was either that or have our own souls taken. Besides, we freed his soul as well.”

Cuphead turned to give his brother a questioning stare, leaving him in a stupor until finally, it hit him, “Oh wait, it was his robot's”.

“Exactly. That guy would sacrifice whatever being it had just to save his own skin. He's a real rascal, that one.”

“Yeah, I bet if we had our own, we'd be a whole lot nicer to him.”, Mugman remarked.

Mugman sighed dejectedly, troubled by this reckless streak on display. “Fine, I'll join you. But only because I can't let you go on your own. Not after you got walloped by Ribby and Croaks.”

“ Hmph, whatever you say, then”, muttered the red one, forming a furrowed brow.

“By golly, what was that?”, wondered Cuphead.

“That can wait. For now, we need to check out what the noise was.” Cuphead simply rolled his eyes and tagged along.

“Well whatever it is, it's long past due for a trim.”, he japed.

“But shouldn't we-.”

“It's easy.", Cuphead interrupted. "All you have to do is just go and give it a look-see”. He scurried over the looming hill and began inspecting this pile of scrap, sporting a most curious expression. As he noted its lifeless eyes and grated mouthpiece, suddenly the ground gave way under his misstep, causing the boy to grab at the robot's head before rolling down at rising speeds. Mugman flinched at this sight before leaping out of harm's way, leaving his sibling to slam into a nearby rock.

Cuphead's...head twirled from the ordeal, until a booming, metallic slam brought his and Mugman's attention to the summit. No sooner did they perceive the robot tumbling towards them than their fleeing from its path. Each impact dug through many a layer of earth, only to end when the same rugged rock stopped the careening machine dead in its tracks. Not a few moments passed when the stout boulder cracked, then crumbled into small chunks, leaving the two boys in a state of shock.

The absence of overgrowth surrounding the robot allowed for greater clarity. Before them was little more than a metallic corpse, void of any power, any life in its circuits. It bore retracted limbs in each socket, alluding to a miniaturized stature. Despite the veritable beating it had endured, there was no discernible damage found on the vessel itself. No cracks, no holes, not a dent on its smooth surface. This pristine condition astounded the children, their faces slack-jawed at this sight. "It's...just as it was before.'', Mugman assessed.

"No doubt about it. This is some strong stuff here.". A fleeting moment of ponder ensued between the two, after which their faces snapped upwards as they each gave a knowing smile. They then slowly faced their prize, both bearing the same thought in their unlidded minds.

10 minutes later

“Hhhhhnnnnghh! Put your back into it, Mugman!”, yelled the brasher of the two. “I'm trying, but it's just so h-heavy.”, he grunted, straining even his own voice. “We're almost home. Just a little further.”

“Really?”.

“Nah, it's still gonna be a while”.

“Ugghhhhh”, was what Mugman cried out before falling flat, his hopes dashed and his spirit quashed. Cuphead followed shortly after, filling the air with his heavy panting. They had dragged the inactive bot across the island, each lugging an extended leg over his shoulder.

“Look, if we make use of this thing's parts, we'll have ourselves a better ride than we did before.", emphasized Cuphead.

"Huh, thought you didn't want all our work to go to waste", mocked Mugman. "Hey, I know an opportunity when I see one.", retorted Cuphead.

"I'm sure you do", smirked Mugman. He turned to view the distance they'd gone, only to discover an unwelcome trail left by all their toil. He flinched in fear at this realization. "Umm...", was all could utter as he patted his brother's shoulder. He turned to bear witness to the same appalling sight, an upheaval of soil left in the wake of their dead weight. "We might have to change gears.", Cuphead stated while rubbing the back of his mug.

10 more minutes later

Unscathed was the ground beneath with their latest approach boasting faster results. The same could not be said for the sanctity of their home, for its atmosphere filled with the grunts of two boys hard at work, bearing the weight of the world upon their fragile frames; more specifically, the steel scrapheap perched on their sweaty backsides. Every step a labored shamble, their every movement a constant test of balance. Such an undertaking, while efficient, more so than their previous drag, threatened to crush the pair under its sheer weight.

As both boys laboriously carried the chrome cargo in tow, their eyes lit up as he spotted the cottage. “We're here!”, Mug exclaimed. “Finally!”, added his fellow cup. They then made their way to the entrance, where Cups promptly kicked open the door. "Okay, Elder's not back yet.", he observed, before moving further with Mugman.

"C'mon, let's...take it upstairs before he comes back.", bleated his brother, desperate to relieve himself of this bolted burden. As they came upon the stairway's base, Cuphead swiftly adjusted himself to better grasp the bottom side of their load. "Easy, now.", he instructed as they took each moment to make a watchful step. A painful process, which eventually saw them up the ascending steps.

As the crimson twin ever slightly twisted the knob, Mugman suddenly stumbled forward, running Cuphead's end into his face as he was abruptly pushed backwards. When he recovered, he noted his twin struggling to hold the machine in position. By instinct, he rushed to pull the robot's feet, simply to realize his efforts only extended their length. With one last mighty heave, their prize finally burst into their quarters, causing Cuphead to crash into the wall. A resounding thud followed suit, rattling the floor before settling down. Cuphead stood to see a fallen Mugman before asking,"You okay, there, Mugman?".

"Yeah.", he answered, trying to raise himself up. "We are never...doing that again!". Cuphead made his way to his heaving fellow, where he slung his arm over his shoulder and slowly walked him to his bed. He sat Mugman down, the latter falling onto his cushioned flat. Such was his fatigue that he refused to adjust himself, opting instead to rest for a spell in his misaligned position. With that, Cups collapsed on his own bed and was out cold in a matter of seconds.

After a period of well-deserved rest, they awakened to glance at the fruit of their labor. Wasn't long until a short grumbling was heard. "Think we ought to treat ourselves?", asked Mugman. A toothy grin took shape on Cuphead's face. "Does a pot boil with tea?", the other quipped, prompting a laugh from both boys. Enthralled at the prospect of good eats, they hastened downstairs towards the front door. Just as they reached over their hands, it suddenly turned open, alarming the two of their caretaker's return. They stopped in their tracks before an unmistakable figure entered, and spoke. "Back rather soon, aren't you, boys?" Cups gave a half-baked smile as he weakly waved, "Hiya...Kettle".
