Heya, you can call me Zephyer or Zeph. You might’ve known me as @/asktheoutcastedkids, but I’m choosing to start anew because I have lost some interest in the Drama Squad/Outcasted Kids sadly..
I’ll be posting about my AUs/HCs for Camp Camp, but you will mostly find me on TikTok as @/l0stpers0n0. I also write on Ao3 as Ali3n_Z3phy3yer, but I do not write often, and my fics are updated infrequently.
Camp Camp is currently my main interest, but I am in other fandoms, such as, School Bus Graveyard, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Haunted Hotel, and many more.
My two biggest AUs that you might here from me when I post are…
Background Campers
an AU where I get more into the fact there is more than the 10 main campers we see in the show, my OCs appear and turns out they have some background history with the main campers.
or
Maybe School Isn’t so Bad…
Summer break had ended, and the campers at Camp Campbell were now at their homes, getting ready for school and sleeping earlier than before.
Yet their minds still went back to the camp… But it was just school. Nothing new would happen, right?
Or the campers are back to school after camp ends, and coincidentally… They all end up being in the same school! This AU is currently on Ao3. Maybe School Isn’t So Bad. (5025 words) by Ali3n_Z3phy3yer.
My asks/requests are open! So feel free to reach out and ask me questions about my AUs, or request art from me.
So I've been thinking about Nurf's backstory lately and have seen a few posts where people said that he's a pretty overlooked character compared to Max who also has trauma, and I do actually agree cause I haven't really seen that many people talking about him.
He has an awful relationship with his dad who physically abused/choked him, it's implied that he got sexually assaulted/raped and he was labelled a "problem child" for just existing the way that he is. I think he needs more attention as a character. The potential for a lot of angsty stories with eventual healing/happy ending is there, what I will definitely read if I ever come across any.
He's also in my opinion one of the most complex characters in the series. He bullied others due to the way he grew up and due a lot of repressed emotions and also abused Preston but changed over the course of the series to have a better and healthier mindset. And also has standards when it comes to bullying, when he said he "only bullies Neil on Tuesdays, Thursdays and nondenominational holidays as he understands that he celebrates the Sabbath" and said that he "won't take part of the fake news plaguing society" when Campbell tried to frame David.
This was made a while back and it shows my old art style, but I still adore it, as it’s the only art I have drew where all the campers are here.. It was based off a fic I made. They’re very found family core to me.. Nurf and Ered are definitely the older siblings. (with the implications that this might take place in S5)
This is Charlotte’s REAL design. She’s 12 when my AU takes place, and is currently under CJ’s care since her father isn’t eligible to take care of her.
MORE Facts-
Wants to befriend Max
Can speak to ghosts (not mentioned a lot though.)
Struggles with Math and Science but when it comes to Reading and Social Studies/History she’s very skilled.
Say hello to Charlotte! She’s 10 years old (11 when she actually appears in my AU) and attends Violin Camp. Charlotte is very gloomy and dark, but that’s just the personality she puts on so people don’t realize she’s just socially awkward and cannot speak up for the life of her. Her style is gothic, and her design is the one of the more detailed out of everyone in my AU.
Facts!! She’s Filipino. I decided for her more detailed design to not give her the camp T-SHIRT because I thought Dolph shouldn’t be the only camper without a yellow T-Shirt. Charlotte’s very interested in ghosts, spirits, and occult stuff. She can talk to ghosts.
Her CWMC (connection with main camper) is that she knew Max back at school, but they don’t talk as much as they used to at school, now all Charlotte wants is to befriend him and make them back like how they used to be. But sadly that’s a struggle for her since outside of talking about ghosts and stuff… She’s very awkward. And can’t hold a conversation without mentioning ghosts. So Max at first just finds her odd.
She dislikes Dolph, but I won’t go too deep into that as it’ll be shown the more I talk about her.
Her home life!! Charlotte’s mom and older brother passed away when she was 6, and she wasn’t able to say goodbye. ever since then her father has been struggling with money and is constantly working. This leads to Charlotte not getting a lot of attention from her dad, so she ends up learning about spirits, trying to get her dad’s attention, and also trying to communicate with her mom/brother.
This is Amelia!! This character’s information was created mostly by my friend, so credits towards her, but the design was made by me. Amelia is the same age as Charlotte and it’s Charlotte’s best friend due to understanding Charlottes so called “weirdness.” It attends Animal Observing/Science camp, but in no way does it harm animals. Amelia is very silly, goofy, though supportive of whatever its friends do.
Facts!! Nobody really knows where it’s from, it just says it’s a Gatorade bottle to confuse people. It DESPISES seafood for an unknown reason. Amelia brought a weapon to camp for some reason, this caused other campers to stay away from it for a while. It cannot spell for its life.
It’s CWMC is that it knew Nikki back at school, and was one of Nikki’s close friends. They were chaotic buddies who caused some chaos around the school frkm time to time. can speak to animals just like Nikki for some reason. It has a three-eyed pet dog named loosee
Amelia DESPISES, has a MASSIVE HATRED towards Max, it’s so confident, that all Max is some egotistical kid, who thinks he’s so awesome for pulling some silly pranks. Max hates its guts back. But even with this, Amelia does support Charlotte with wanting to befriend Max, and even gives tips from time to time for her, that DO NOT WORK!! they are all ANIMAL RELATED!!
Its home life is actually pretty okay, it has two moms and two dads, due to its parents divorcing after realizing they were lesbian and gay. But not in any way are its parents toxic!
Do you think the current campers would be cool with Jasper if they met him and knew he was a ghost? Comedy trio were kind of freaked out when they found out he was a ghost and Jasper disappeared from the show after that so we never got a follow up to that (though I wish we would lol). Aside from that Space Kid seems… fine with it, if only by not really understanding the weight of it, but I think Jasper found him a bit too childish in the few minutes they interacted.
I think the only campers who have seen his are Max, Neil, Nikki and Space kid, like you said.
Im gonna start with Dolf because I think like Space Kid that he just wouldn't gaf. He'd see Jasper, say hi, then go about his day. Jasper would be a little confused like—hello I'm literally a ghost? Nurf doesn't think about it too much and, in turn, doesn't really care.
Nerris and Harrison would think it was the coolest thing EVER. I can see them trying to commune with the dead after meeting him since they now know that for certain ghosts are real. Jasper at first thinks their cool, but like if he found out about the seance, he'd be pissed. Like why would you want an evil spirit when you have Jasper??
I think Preston would be freaked out. Like fully freaked out—maybe even trying to stop Harri and Nerri's seance. Jasper understands and leaves him alone after freaking him out the first time.
Ered, I like to believe that whe knows random top secret information due to her dad's being in the Fbi, so she knows ghosts exist, so she wouldn't be surprised about Jaspers' existence. They'd get along—she thinks his LA gear light up shoes are rad. They talk from time to time, probably about how Ered burnt down a house, she definitely vents to him bcs who's he gonna tell??
Nurf fully rejects the idea—like he would see Jasper and be like. Cool costume. Kinda like he did with Brian's name. Jasper follows him around for a bit, floating and going through walls trying to convince him. It doesn't work.
If you have time maybe you could make a Space Kid x Dolph fic? 👀👀👀
I love how you write its very funny in the best way possible…….
My SpaceDolf fic !!!
I thought it would be cute to get an outside person on what it's like to have a first crush, so this is Gwen and David discussing that after noticing Dolfs feelings for Spacekid. Also, gwenvid and jaspvid are hinted at at certain points but not explicit in this fic !!
CW: Hitler joke, but like it's Dolf, so... yeah. also mention on masterbation—but that's gwen being gwen
David shook his head—art camp was tomorrow and well, after a recent trip to an art museum Dolf had lost interest in art. David shivered at the memory, the poor child's face as he saw just who he resembled. Since that day, Dolf swore to distance himself from him.
“Jeeze Gwen—I mean it's definitely a good thing he's…” David rubbed the back of his neck, as he paced the floor—supposedly helping Gwen set up for tomorrow's activity, yet had done very little work.
"For Christ sake—the kid is a carbon copy of Hitler David.” She barked back, eager to finish setting up so she could finally masterbate Read. “That's gonna mess you up. Who cares if he's taking a break from art? He's fine.” She finished standing the last easel needed with a sigh, turning to face her co-councilor while doing so. “Look, David, He's 9—this isn't the. end of the world—Only a month ago now Space Kid decided to become ‘Race kid’, and how long did that last?”
David hummed a response as he took in her words. “You're right we should—”
“leave him alone—”
“—Ask Spacekid to help !!” David turned on his heels, making his way towards the exit of the mess-hall before a hand grabbing him from behind stopped him.
“—Jesus, not at this time.” Gwen was visibly exhausted, her face looked like she was fit to kill.
“Yeah—ummm in the morning…” David smiled as he stepped out of her grip, a little intimidated while doing so. “I'll ask him at breakfast.”
Breakfast came and went, Art camp was starting and Dolf found himself sitting alone, unaware of the watching eyes of his overly concerned councilor(s) on him.
“Look how sad he is Gwen—I should—” Before he could even move, a hand pressed against his chest to stop him.
“Don't, we agreed we wouldn't intervene when we had our talk with SpaceKid.” She sipped her hot coffee in a slightly better mood than she was last night.
“Where is he then? We can't leave poor Dolf on his own.” David pouted as he watched the ex-artist's dull expression. “He’s miserable”
“We gave him extra time for breakfast—since you gave a ten minute speech” She rolled her eyes, but right as she was about to finish berating her co-councilor someone caught her eye. A space suit wearing child happily making his way to the empty end of the arts and crafts table where Dolf had sat.
“I know Gwen but—”
“Shut up.” She immediately cut him off, her eyes glued to the interaction. She normally didn't care for shit like this—campers cheering each other up, yet the way Dolf’s face lit up the second he saw his friend caught her attention.
“Look.” She pointed to the interaction, without even moving off of it to check to see if David was looking as she spoke. “We haven't had anything like this since Neil at the lake Lilac Dance.” As sly smirk crossed her face. “Our artist has got a crushhhhh”
“Oh my gosh!” David let out a soft gasp “That is the biggest smile ice seen on Dolf in days.” He seemingly ignored Gwen's words, too focused on how happy his camper looked. “Gee—I do wonder what they're talking about”
“Gosh David. Maybe I should check” Without waiting for a reply she began to walk towards the table, only to be stopped mid way by a shouting camper beside her.
“Fuck off Harrison !!!’ Gwen turned to the sound—The dice tower Nerris had been building got elbowed by Harrioson.
“Guys come on—” She shook her head, already sick of the chaos of the day—despite it being 9.30am. “Nerris, that was clearly an accident…”
She spent longer than she would have liked trying to mediate the fight yet when she looked up it was all worth it. She abandoned her original plans and practically ran back to David.
“Doyouseethat.” The words came out sloppy, barely understandable, but David was used to her shenanigans by now.
“See what?” He looked around the mess hall, seeing nothing but happy campers.
“They're drawing eachother.” The words, a bit slower this time, we're just as desperate as she gestured towards Spacekid and Dolf.
“I know ! I'm so happy that he's drawing again.”
She sat for a moment observing the two, how Dolf seemed almost nervous to be drawing in front of him—how he sat shoulder to shoulder while giving Spacekid drawing tips. “Do you think Spacekid likes him back?” Gwen had calmed down mostly after a few minutes of silence. She waited for a reply from David as she continued to watch how Dolf floundered around the other boy.
“Oh my Gosh. Dolf totally likes Spacekid.” Gwen was almost shocked he hadn't already caught on. She has mentioned it once before for Christ's sake. “Now don't go meddling like you did with Neil—” She could feel his gaze on her, like he knew exactly what she was planning to do.
“What—noooo—I wasn't.” She managed to rip her eyes away from the kids for a moment to face David, her face riddled in guilt like she knew he could read her mind. “Fine.” She sighed, mostly to herself. “I won't.”
“At his age, I doubt he even knows he has a crush” His tone was suddenly serious, catching Gwen off guard once more. “Especially if he's never liked a boy before—Just leave him alone…he'll figure this out himself, okay?”
She nodded back without a word. Gwen could understand the complexity of having a crush—she had a ton. “Feelings can be scary.” She added after a while. “Especially if they're not what you expect.” Her gaze made its way back to Dolf and his stupidly happy smile.
“I hope this is a fond memory for him, nothing beats a camp crush.” Gwen looked over her shoulder only to be met with David smiling to himself.
“I remember my first crush—do you?” She could overhear parts of the boy's conversation,sharing art tips and way too much laughter for the conversationst hand. She turned back to keep an eye on the two, almost jealous of how innocent things are when you're still a camper.
“Of course I do.” She could hear the smile in his voice as he spoke, yet decided to push no further.
