#shrig rambles

[raindrop-righteous]

Ok so- now that you accepted go throught the horrors (jk, the horrors are me non-stop about my hyperfixation on DHMIS), Im gonna just have one little question-

Do you have hcs for some teachers? If so, Can you make a little list? Its for uuuhh essential reasons

AW YEAH HCS !!!

I tried making a silly short list jhd, but just know it’s somewhat ordered by webseries episode order and is a combo of personal hcs, lore, and aus 

- the Sketchbook/ Paige has limbs of ink they can shapeshift

- Paige can only eat cardboard cutouts of food 

- Paige was adopted by Tony years ago 

- Tony secretly buys everyone similar accessories 

- Tony is brothers with the universe guy / Hugo (space and time brothers)

- Tony and Shrignold struggle to spell words, but they ask each other of all people for corrections

- Shrignold looks like the queer flag and is therefore queer lol

- shrig is a cultist and occultist 

- Colin is trans icon ever

- Colin is related to the laptop, Perl, and Gilbert is their parental figure

- Gilbert is the oldest among the webseries teachers and is often approached for wisdom or advice

- Gilbert is also a talent scout, was hired to hire teachers for a kids show yk yk

- spinach can / Sperry bites people :[ , he/she also hangs with Colin a lot

- bread boy / Barry is the baby stacking cans in the autism wiki

- steak guy/ Stetson is a silly man with a delayed reaction to pain

- fridge / Fredrick is usually never noticed by people and plays with this fact

- lamp man has many names,,,all start with L

- oh yeah he’s dating the universe guy

- lamp isnt drunk, he’s just really sleepy

- also after he got sober he’s the guy who enjoys rambling about conspiracy theories :]

- i feel like all the teachers stim one way or the other 

I have yet to make some for the tv show teachers, but yippee !!

[justanartisticduck]

You mentioned that the teachers were forcibly turned into puppets, what were they like before?

okokok so uh I had an old post in which I did talk abt who the teachers used to be buuut uh I looked at the old post and OH MY GOSH IS THE INFO THERE SO OUTDATED LMAO- So I’m just gonna uh- redo that post lol- anywho I also did some doodles of past teachers but I didn’t draw all of them not will I touch on each of them (some because they didn’t have much of a significant role to include here (like the remainder of the health band), others because I’m still figuring it out (like shrig), and some because- well- they didn’t even have a past!! (Like lamp)) but I did do a few tweaks on these guy’s backstories alongside their designs!! Now anywho I’ll show you who these guys were and give a slight backstory to each of them (keep in mind, I won’t go super in depth with all of these guys, I hope you don’t mind) but anywho, onto the rambling!!

first off we are starting with Sketch!! Now in the past they were known as Nate Brooks!

So this was them and, as you can see, they are a Red guy (or they actually aren’t red- in fact their fur/hair was white :3) however, unlike other Red guys, their creativity was through the roof!! Alongside that they were super optimistic and were never afraid of showing their true self even in front of their colleagues! Now Nate was still pretty young when they were put into the machine (they were 20) and hey had just started working for jobs however- the jobs that were available for them wasnt many nor were those jobs fitting for their career path (which was artistic stuff… which Red guys aren’t very huge about-) So as it was they were looking for an artistic job that they could truly enjoy which is when Roy came into the picture… Roy offered them a spot on his show, being both a puppeteer and puppet maker/artist for the show!! Now Nate joined not long before Red so when they had met they became friends fairly quickly! Nate even played the first puppet Red and introduced upon his arrival!! They were super enthusiastic and happy about this job… if only they knew what was to happen later on…

Now next here’s our favorite Clock!! Anthony (Tony for short) Clockswork-Locksmith!! (He has two last names due to marriage stuff :P)

Now Anthony Clockswork was- well- not huge in the artistic business like the others who worked on the puppet show were- Now a bit of background knowledge on him first!! Now Tony came from a family full of engineers and mechanics so he already had quite an interest in mechanics and such however he had a bigger interest in mind, clocks! Since he was younger he loved making clocks, when he grew older he opened up a mini shop for clocks and such and one day he ran out of metal supplies and he went to a metal working shop when he met his future husband, Steven Locksmith (cough cough- mean Steve- cough-) now these two soon joined businesses and fell in love blah blah blah- but now Tony and Steve Locksmith owned the top clock and metal store in the whole town!!! Or… at least for a while- eventually business began running slower as more people started using tech and Tony and Steve began struggling with their store. Tony was desperate to keep their shop open and “luckily” a certain business man heard of their struggles… Roy offered a temporary job. This job offered some extra support for Tony, extra money, it would be enough to help keep his business alive… now Tony was skeptical if this whole job deal but… he was desperate.. he took the deal and started working for Roy. Now his time working for the puppet show wasn’t too interesting, really he was more concerned and focused on his own business, but at first he worked as a tech guy alongside Colin and a timekeeper type person for the show aswell. However later on in production he was given the role of a clock character! He grew more dedicated and positive towards the show after this, plus now he had friends!! Things for his own business were now looking up too!! Everything was great… such a shame it all had to go downhill…

Now we have Colin Cyberbeck!!

So this was Colin!! Back before becoming a computery guy infested with computer viruses he was actually a pretty chill clevery guy! Now, similarly to Tony, Colin was born into a family really interested in technology however they leaned moreso to modern technology (like phones, computers, etc.) So Colin was always a tech guy!! However, he began to break off from his family’s business and began seeking out for a way to start his own business instead!! He still was in the process of this when he met Roy nor did he successfully leave his family’s workplace either. He was working a simpler less fun job upon meeting Roy, surveys, clipboards, NOT working on his passion- now that’s what he was doing and he actually met Roy through a survey in fact!! Now Roy, of course, found a way to convince Colin to join his puppet show and- you may be thinking- why would Colin join? This show is about puppets not technology!!! Well that’s what Colin had thought at first until Roy mentioned that they were in need of someone to handle filming, lighting, and things of that nature! After that Colin joined in an instant, besides this gave him a chance to work on something new and prepare him for starting his own business! Or.. at least that’s what the plan originally was- Anywho so Colin started working for Roy!! His main job was to work with most of the technology stuff in the show’s production like editing, sound effects, filming, and those are just a few examples of what he did!!! Colin eventually even got his own puppet dubbed “Colin the Computer”!! Things were going great!! Plus now he had nearly enough money to start his own business… however… we all know by now things didn't stay happy...

Next up is Daniel Cook aka steak (the rest of the food band I’m not really including here since they don’t have as big of a role but in case you were wondering there’s Fredrick (fridge), Sammy/Sam (spinach), and Ben (bread boy :3))

Ok so Daniel and the rest of his family’s case is interesting mainly because, unlike nearly all the other people who encountered Roy, he didn’t end up working for Roy- heck- in fact Daniel didn’t even like Roy in the first place!!! Now I’ll just summarize who the food band was as a whole before I get into the backstory behind how they became teachers. So the food family (which is what I’ll be calling the food band here) we’re a small family which made food for schools and those who were in need of it. We had Daniel who focused on meats, Sam who focused on veggies and fruits, and Fredrick and Ben who focused on breads and pastries. Now the food family did lots of bake sales for charity and would give out free food occasionally and this caught the eye of Roy. Roy offered to sponsor them, he would give them money to “give away” foods from his company or more so he wanted them to sell his products which isn’t what they stood for whatsoever. Roy then offered them a job at his food company which was an offer the family declined, they didn’t know this man and they weren’t gonna let him run how they did business. Days carried on, they got more and more offers from Roy but each time they declined. They continued what they loved regardless. Now eventually June 19th comes rolling up and Roy realizes he needs to get rid of Duck or at least find a way to separate them from the rest of the trio but he had no teachers he could use at that time.. then he remembered the food family… now Roy found teachers who not only could outnumber the trio (or duo since Red is gone) but also separate yellow and duck… and punish them both accordingly- however there was an issue- he didn’t have any connections with this family nor did he think they would be willing to “join his show” so.. he would have to do this through force- luckily Roy isn’t too unfamiliar with kidnapping! (Ughhh I hate this man-) so yes, he kidnaps the food family and forcefully makes them become the food gang which is where Dhmis 5 begins.

now there are two teachers (not including the pilot teachers) that I did not include here, Shrignold and Lamp. Now for Shrig I didn’t include him cuz I’m actually in the process of rewriting his backstory cuz I don’t necessarily like the backstory I wrote for him in the past and I didn’t want to make the wait for my answer longer nor did I want to give you a rushed backstory that I would later claim as false so I didn’t include his backstory here because of that, I hope you don’t mind!! And Lamp… actually didn’t have a past self!! He is one of the very few teachers who didn’t have a non teacher counterpart before becoming a teacher. Lamp was actually a real lamp that little Doi used to love! (And of course Roy decided to traumatize his kid by using this Lamp to nearly kill Doi because just of course Roy freaking would-). But yeah!! I hope you don’t mind I didn’t include these two here! ^^

Anywho I hope you enjoyed my rambling and I’m sorry this took so long to answer!! I uh went full rambling mode on this one lol- but still hope you enjoyed reading this though!!! ^^ (also if I made no sense I’m sorry my rambles can get confusing also i wrote this over the course of a lot of days so I’m sorry XD)

[tanakabun]

i should try to draw more so i can get more COOL MUTUALS

#shrig rambles #@ all my mutuals: ily

[myweirddhmisau]

In this au, is Shrig still into love and all that, and is he the romantic type? 👀 (skdjsk sorry I just really like this au >

Aw, no need to apologize!! I love answering questions! ^^

YES, VERY. Shrigs is very in love with the idea of love. How he handles being in love changes from the beginning of his arc to the end of it, (for example, before his arc, he was extremely likely to stalk anyone he decided he was in "love" with) but he never stops being a soft hearted man that falls hard and fast for random people, and likes watching cheesy romcoms, and romanticizes every little thing his loved ones do.

#ask #not art #i hope this answer wasnt too long or too short anon! i didnt want to ramble; but if you'd like a more specific answer or something #ill try and go into more detail! #also my shrigs is pan? idk i feel like thats a detail i should mention somewhere #before he got out of the cult that little fact confused the hell out of him but he's coming to terms with it now!

HFJFKDJSNDKJFNSKD I LOVE UR RAMBLINGS N HEADCANONS!! ;; do you have any rambles or hcs on speshul one and Shrig? Is it like father daughter relationship or sumthing?

THANK YOU AAAA AND OF COURSE SURE YEAH !!

Ok, so like Canonly? I’ll be honest chief, I don’t even know who she’s meant to be or if she’s imaginary and just a fem!yellow Shrignold.... ~envisioned~. I literally can’t tell you anything for sure.

But!! I personally write her, with my Shrignold, as being pretty much a father/daughter vibe yeah! She’s basically  “ adopted by the church ”, because she belongs to no other family, and was lovingly called “Speshul” from a mixture of wishing her luck in finding a Special One, the way she slurs her words a little still from young age, and the tradition of naming people within the church with “SH” in their names. 

She lives over the rainbow with Shrignold and friends, which is why you may rarely see her in Clayhill itself, and is somewhat spoiled from being the baby of the group. It takes a village !! The other Love Club friends helped to raise her too.  

Shrignold himself isn’t... an awful father  (lmao, a wonderful start-) BUT he’s of course, a little... not great.  He’s half made by Roy, after all.

Though he expresses love through his over protective nature and his extremely patient and sweet tone of voice, he is also... a control freak, manipulative, and kinda condescending. Shrignold is probably the only creature in the world that can be both lovey-dovey and emotionally distant at the same time, but he really is trying to be caring the only way he knows how. It just so happens he... isn’t designed to really know how to do that right. Woops. 

Imagine being raised by one of the teacher puppets ok, no matter what something’s going to go horribly wrong-

 He is, effectively, a reverend pretty much btw, so just picture being the reverend’s daughter too but much much much much weirder.

[30494039203428904]

a thing I rambled about its my new dhmis timeline so

shrigs not a monster here but he makes monsters

he manipulates people into thinking he is good and that he'll help but he's actually planning to show a sign of weakness so he can monster the FUCK outta them

he eventually meets colin and damn colin falls for him at first sight

and shrigs like"he's neat yeah but we gotta. change him"

so umshrig and colin are somewhere in public and colin, surprise,,, shows weakness even though its very rare of this colin and shrigs like "SHIT"so he takes this RISKY fuckin chance and makes him into a literal ROBOTI mean not fully

but still colin tried to tolerate it unti shrig forces him and it gets Bad like colin gets knocked out and robofied while having to look and bare through it shits complicated

"hey i said I was into cybernetics but I don't wanna be a fucking ROBOT"

"too bad scoob"

so colins kept in for a few days because shrig has to teach him how to control his new body (shrig is a lil fond of colin, he doesn't really care what happens after people get messed by him) but colin denys like. everything and he tries to enhance and make himself stronger

shrig treats colin like an experiment because he never tried doing this with technology only with magic,spells and that Religion™ and shrig gets FUCKED UP absolutely almost DESTROYED by colin

but shrig just doesn't do nothing he just goes like "you don't want to do this"  at some points and colin stops like "what the fuck do you mean"

shrig starts to be a spooker he just starts laughing and stuff and colin does not get it,,,he was,,,tormenting him

shrig just stares at colin with this really smug look because he knows colin doesn't know how to control most parts of his body by now and shrig takes a lot of advantage

then after a few minutes he starts to fight back and no matter what strength colin had shrig was able to beat him because that bih gave him so many weak spots he only knows of

Colin gets Sad

He's sad

He misses his body

and colin starts to cry out of like frustration and shrig tries to comfort him(WHAT A MOTHERFUCKER BUT he still has this fondness that he does not fucking let go) and colin just kinda gave up on it,,,and they just continue to have fights until colin leaves and shrig was not very happy of that even tho that mf deserved it. shrig started to stalk him once in a blue just observing how is body works because shrig thinks he's a walking experiment that needs to be tested,, colin tries to tell people but none listen because they believe shrig is good

so colin gets really desperate and goes to the cult buddies and surprisingly they knew bits of what happened to them when they took their forms (shrig built this cult on brainwashed monsters and they see him as a god) but they never actually tried to do anting about him due to it being seen as disobeying their god and who knows what could happen to them if they did that

 the cult buddies were all brainwashed n stuff just in different ways, making them think that it never happened or seem like a nightmare

so they needed to tell the town this and make sure he doesn't get anymore victims,,,they are planning on getting him either executed or punished and shrig comes and takes real advantage on that shit,,shrig starts to cast spells on himself each day to make sure nobody could beat him because his desire is power

like if shrig dies everyone is FUCKED because he was able to make sure those spells were going to make him some sort of unstoppable force of some kind,,,,,like a demon

"I just wanna seen as a literal god and everybody prays to me dude how hard is that :(((((((("

so sketch (who is REALLY STRONK BY THE WAY STRONGER THEN COLIN) gets asked for help by the gang and sketch says yes

Since tony knows whats fuckin up he's like "no Dont" bc he's such a dad to sketch and knows how strong shrig is due to past events

oh yeah shrig and tony had a huge fight because shrigs perspective on religion was changing and tony was like "no you can't do that you can't just become a god"

so big mood,,, me, ready to drop dead asleep any moment: has anyone seen a man about ye high and has fucked up another man with cybernetics i depserately need to fight him
