Is there any Cosmic Fuckery that happens when the two scarabs meet or do they just unfortunately have to deal with each other?
I AM SO SORRY i haven't gotten to this earlier HELP...
OK SO. Nothing happens.
At best human Scarab gets a sense of déjà vu watching bug Scarab do his thing, and obviously being weirded out over the fact that this bug has human-like intelligence. But otherwise, nada, nil, zilch.
Bug Scarab is a cosmic entity (a part of one but still) and has free range to interacting with universes, while human Scarab belongs in said universe. It's just uncanny to see yourself
ok so it's not a comic hope thats ok with you but instead it's karkat n nepeta but designed by someone whos madly in love with them both
some more au explanations + transcript beneath the cut
they're maybe around 30-40 yo? This was mostly just an exercise to give both of them adult designs. uh. i'm only calling it an au because I made bs some explanations behind their designs while i was drawing them. so uh, in this universe, sburb never happens + things that happened because of sburb don't happen either, but the alternian society is relatively unchanged. i dont actually know.. what.. karkat does.. like i cant figure out why he wouldnt be culled but it doesnt really matter i just wanted to draw him looking cool! (i am. open to hear about speculation if you have any). also i figured that Kanaya would go to the brooding caverns after her lusus dies, bc the wiki said her lusus would die regardless of the game taking place n whatever, and probaly do something with the matriorb there idk. thats all tho! ill prolly draw them more and maybe develop more lore as i do ^^;

Transcript!
i don’t know what their dynamic is in the canon of this au… but that won’t stop me from making them kiss :]
The Vigilant
adult karkat on alternia
new highly developed shoosing skill
honestly has a calmer demeanor because he’s learned what’s worth exploding about… though he probably developped a crazy resting bitch face
pleased (arrow to karkat with a neutral face)
The sash doubles as a sling for when he visits Kanaya in the brooding caverns. He’s also very tranquil around grubs because they don’t cause unmanageable problems. He’ll get mad if someone else bothers one
(yes i’m obsessed with dilfkat
that’s why i drew this)
The Predator
adult nepeta on alternia
Taller than karkat <3
still a silly goober, but better at getting what she wants
she probably got her title from a history of single-handedly slaying fearsome lusii. she likely takes assassination type of jobs because of her stealth. one of the more easy-going trolls from the group

also! fun fact. i was having trouble designing kk's outfit so i looked in an old antiques catalog book from the internet archive to get inspiration from objects that had the same colors as those that i wanted to use in his design? not sure why i did that. just had a hunch that it would be fun. so this is the object i found that strangely enough inspired kk's fit
haha.. and i also found one for nepeta, though it was easier to design her fit and i didnt actually need a reference object
the book was "Antique Trader antiques & collectibles 2009 price guide"
Frankie boi is a doctor in his eyes. He's labelled a quack and a criminal by many because he practices medicine without a doctor's license, which is illegal. That and several reports of unethical experiments, but mostly because he doesn't have a license.
He met Wally through Barnaby who asked for him to heal the vampire (who was injured at the time) in exchange for shelter and protection from bounty hunters
Julie ★ Demon
Bbg was summoned by a cult who was immediately apprehended by police officials. With no way to go back home, she moved from place to place being a menace to society
She eventually found her way into Wally's Mansion and became their tenant
Sally ★ San Elmo
Okioki so San Elmo is a Philippine mythological creature which is basically just a ball of fire-- anyways, Sally came down to earth to experience the earth life but then became a local deity à la burning person = God
She ended up burning a whole city and Wally, who was there to witness shit go down, decided to take her in because accidental genocide is a "same hat" moment
Poppy ★ Phoenix
Poppy is an angel. She is the definition of perfect, she has no flaws whatsoever-- she's also the last of her kind.
Poppy, alongside Barnaby, was the one to find Wally at his weakest and help nurture him back to health (literally an angel, how can anybody hate her)
Hiiii ( ╹▽╹ ) sorry I didn't finished it, I'm 100% sure my computer was going to explode if I added one more frame.
For my Overlord Angel au I wanted to keep that kind of enemies to lovers, where at the start of their relationship Angel keeps being fake and putting on a mask he created due to thinking he's not as powerful as the other overlords, Wich annoys husk bc he sees right through him (as always) but then one day husk sees Angel defend one of his workers.
he does not stand people being rude to them because most are former sex workers, friends and people that suffered and he took under his protection, that now considers family. And he is VERY overprotective with his family.
Angel wreaks that bitch. My boy husk? Instantly fell. He fell HARD.
And angel is just like, damn I ruined my chance, now he knows I'm crazy :(
