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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Oh great, they got out."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

remember my Apocalypse tawog au? i did a "redesigning" thing ab rob in this au(?).. it looks like shit, really, i prefer the old design, but i just...i just cant draw.

You wanna now whar? Whatever Whateve rwharrver whatever whatever uugghhh

If you want, there are more things about the au below, I just...I'm tired so..yeah, ugly ass drawings

Rob and Penny are super friends. Penny even considers Rob like a brother and Polly loves Rob very much too. Penny helped him cut his hair in a way that covered the static on his cheeks (it worked amazingly, but he's really uncomfortable with the hair on his face)

he is trying to find a way to make a vaccine for those infected (The apocalypse is about the void) and wants to try to save everyone

Rob, during the time he stayed with the survivors (including Gumball), ended up falling in love with Gumball, Which is sad because Gumball thinks Rob is one of those to blame for the apocalypse...

He tries his best to save and find some survivors, infected or not. However, most people were afraid of Rob being another infected person or a zombie because of the glitches and static, so Rob became very insecure and even started hiding the static on his body.

TH AU concept art

Something I doodled to form ideas for the Extramundane Apocalypse.

If you don't know what the Extramundane Apocalypse is: It's a horror alternate universe inspired by Pibby, where the TH monsters are gradually infected by a red virus that transforms them into mindless, smiling zombies caused by a dangerous entity. Initially, it's starts small, only affecting corpses and carcasses, but over time it becomes more severe and begins to distort reality, leading to the eventual collapse of Earth and if it doesn't stop, all of the universe(s). Blah blah blah blah, no spoilers lol. (At least that's my basic idea for it right now).

And it's on Wattpad! It is still a WIP though and there are only 2 parts, but I'm still working on more chapters and shit!

Also, fun fact: This AU has been through many changes and so many names, but I think Extramundane Apocalypse (EA for short), and the idea I have for the AU is the one. Also, this used to be two separate AUs, I already had a zombie apocalypse TH AU, but I decided to fuse them together into one AU because I think it'll make the AU far more interesting, and I thought it'll help make the AU more disturbing and gorey and stuff.

I may make and post more concept art or just general art of the AU if I have the chance!

Here's an inspiration/ref I used

I love TAWOG :D

Soo, I guess I have a TAWOG AU now

Still learning how tumblr works so i'm probably breaking like a thousand rules of tumblr etiquette or whatever. But fuck it, i'm currently obsessed with TAWOG and all its fucking terrifying lore (the void, the missing characters, Rob, etc).

I just write a fic that takes place in an AU in where Gumball (of all people) is fully aware of the nature and fate of his world and super bitter about it. I love how it gave me the opportunity to explore the mind of a borderline sociopath with a huge ego but also an abuse history and depressing thought process.

sooo, there some of thoughts about this Gumball.

Diagnosed with CD (conduct disorder) but really full blown ASPD.

He hates TV's, radios and anything that has any form of static. But is, in fact, pretty good fixing and rewiring TV's when needed, and has a huge deal of training in hardware operation. Usually the first detecting signal problems or interferences.

He's willing to sit down and watch TV with Darwin, but won't do it out of free will.

Doesn't like studying for principle, but is pretty good at hearing or detecting crucial but completly random details and memorizing them. This advanced or educated vocabulary can make people think he knows more of a subject than he really knows.

A professional bullshitter. Good at telling lies and remembering them. Can ocasionally gaslight Darwin or Penny to make them accept and tell different versions of certain events.

Biromantic with preference for boys, may be ace but too young to know.

Demiboy/Bidemigender.

Has a really unclear/foggy vision of gender/gender identity. Those problems are probably related to trauma but he refuse to work on them. Uses he/him pronouns in person but any pronouns on internet. He try to not think to much of it.

Has the unexplicable skill to know when he's 'acting for an episode' or when 'the cameras are on', so his behavior can vary from a moment to another without any explanation.

Sometimes he is forced to remember himself that he's the main character of a 'for children of 7 or older' cartoon and has to tune it down. His secret wish is to be on Adult Swim. He's angry at the world for take away his 'stabbing previleges' and want them back.

Physically imprudent and without any self-preservation instinct.

He's in love with Rob and has no problem admitting so, the problem is that, for him, love and hate are basically the same.

Extremely possessive with his loved ones.

Usually don't like to describe his feelings as love or, for the contrary, uses the word carelessly or even with strangers. Almost always confused about it.

Not heartless, but yes shameless and ruthless and respectless. Violent, but not always.

Little to no emotional empathy and a huge deal of cognitive empathy.

His only consistent prosocial behavior is trying to no harm his friends or family.

"Rules are no more than pretty dumb suggestions that I ocassionally follow 'cause i don't have ODD". (being ODD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, other disorder he just read about in a DMS-V copy he stole from his psychiatrist).

Not in treament anymore because it's pretty useless for him. He has learned to behave in a socially accepted way for most of the time.

Try to do morally good things only for Darwin's sake.

Recognizes himself as an 'unkind creature' or as evil by nature. In some ways try to keep people (specially Rob) away because he knows he will hurt them eventually if them get too close. This is the main cause of his lying and pretending.

Emotionally shallow, superficial, but sad and angry to the core. His emotional outbursts tend to be brief, intense in some way but utterly infected with a persisting layer of numbness. He recovers from them rather quickly and returns to a normal, calm state for the rest of the day.

Don't care about the 90% of people he knows. Very fond of his family and some of his friends, however.
