The Surreal Virtual Digiscape AU: Weightless (Bunnydoll)
( Please do NOT repost my art on ANY platform. Thank you. )
When your girl is practically weightless, you ain't got no problem holding the whole world in your hands đâ¨ď¸.
Just felt like drawing something simple for this, a casual and silly interaction. Though what we can assume now is that this is one way Jax can surprise Ragatha from behind-- an impromptu lift, one-handed, onto his shoulders.
Look at this rat just, pondering the logistics of how to grab Ragatha. Two hands?? One hand?? Her waist is fairly small enough to clasp, finger touching fingers type of thing. Like the body of a cupâ¨đ body tea if you will
.. But EY, she's practically weightless to him. One hand is just enough. Ragatha's just as surprised to find out like that-- though I guess the smile on her face is enough of a reward for a silly little act. That means he can, pretty much sip her out--
The Surreal Virtual Digiscape AU: Shared Dream pt. 1 (bunnydoll)
(Please do NOT repost my art on ANY platform. Thank you.)
.. yep. Definitely just about apples, and eating them! Definitely not... something.. else... (my self indulgence)
SOOOO this was the kinda big but not really big thing I was setting up for?? It took me a while because of other things but HEY-- After doing the apple trend, I couldn't just let the idea of an apple and these two go... so it turned into this..
Anyways, a little thought I've had was that the cast in TSVD, at least those who have some sort of tense history/close history in general, tend to share dreams together the stronger they share a similar feeling towards one another. It's one of Caine's little experimental programs to see into their minds and relationships which also better helps him make future pairs collaborate/work together more with that knowledge in mind, because these dreams often show the feelings of both parties in vivid detail to him (pretty invasive, but hey, all for the sake of improving the feedback on his Journeys)
But for these two, especially, sharing a dream from time to time.. it's a detriment to their already, complicated, relationship. Shared dreams don't happen as often as one would expect, but they happen enough that it's become a sort of 'oh my god wait they weren't supposed to know that' kind of thing, what with how revealing these dreams are.
But also hehe if I wont make them kiss then I'll make them do these things to compensate... I'm foul.
I have so many things I want to draw about the three of them since I think their dynamic would be really funâBen being the most responsible one, Rex the laid-back one always trying to impress girls, and Zak⌠well, watching Rexâs failures (hehehe).
Been trying to think of an original crossover premise for these two shows for ages, not sure if the name is going to stick yet but that's the basic premise.
Mercenaries and for-hire assassins are rampant in the aftermath of the Nanite event, whether it be working for providence, corrupt politicians, unethical scientists etc. Rather than being found by Six and taken back to providence, he gets found by a younger Van Rook and Doyle, who are also on the job hunting an EVO.
Doyle with his soft spot for kids pulls Rex from the rubble of a nearby explosion and manages to convince Van Rook to let him get the kid out of there. Then when Rex reveals his powers by accident either curing an EVO or using his builds in self defense and they decide to take Rex back with them - Van Rook is seeing dollar signs and knows people would pay a hefty price for a cure for EVOs.
Most of Rex's traits from canon carry over - he's still affected by amnesia and remembers almost nothing from his past, largely sympathetic to people affected by the Nanite event and feels pressure to please anyone he sees as role models. However being raised by two mercenaries that are arguably more morally dubious than Six means that he's incredibly impulsive, stubborn and refuses to listen to figures of authority. He's also very indignant about being treated like a child becuase he's used to Van Rook and Doyle taking him into literal war zones for mercenary jobs.
Leonidas 'I'm too old for this shit' Van Rook is the moody, hermitty uncle in dynamic. Doyle and Rex have more in common (both orphans who barely remember the family they lost), Rex sees Doyle like the older brother that he think he's never had - and they get along like a house on fire. They are a pretty tight knit trio and Rex is a well kept secret outside of their closest allies and various scruffy hideouts across the globe.
On the flip side with the Saturdays, Doc and Drew are still part of the Secret Scientists but expanded their work to deal with EVOs as well as cryptids after the Nanite event and are working towards developing their own cure. Kur doesn't exist and Zak is in all aspects a normal 11 year old kid with his three adopted cryptid siblings. V.V. Argost is still a celebrity, but without Kur, his world domination plans centre around obtaining rare and dangerous EVOs with the intent to build an army.
The people with links to Van Rook and Doyle know about Rex being an EVO, but Van Rook and Doyle are very careful to keep it under wraps that he can cure EVOs rather than just being able to fight them off. But one day when Rex is around 15-16 and around the same time Drew and Doyle discover that they are long lost siblings - the secret gets out and they have a multiude of factions (Argost, Van Kleiss, Providence, the Secret Scientists etc.) after Rex.
Doyle, worried for Rex's safety breaks away from Van Rook and takes Rex on the run off-grid, at which point they'd run into various groups from Rex's past (The hong kong gang, members of the pack etc.) but can never shelter in one place for very long. At some point after helping cure various EVOs on their travels, Rex suffers his first overload of Nanites. Doyle is terrified and ends up going to Drew and her family for help, because although they are barely on speaking terms after reuninting and knows his sister works for an intergovermental organisation - he'd know that she and Doc are some of the most knowledgable people on earth when it comes to Nanites and EVOs.
They off-load the surplus nanites and manage to reluctantly convince Rex and Doyle to stay with them to keep out of sight from Providence (probably ran by the consortium at this point with no White Knight at the helm) and Argost. Doc and Drew 100% try to be parental towards Rex, which he hates at first, but he immediately bonds with Zak who is the first person that's ever seen Rex as a role model/older brother and Rex immediately thinks that's the coolest thing he's ever experienced.
Not entirely sure how Holiday and Six would factor in, but I can see them both unintentionally working for providence and then forming a shaky alliance when the news of a cure gets out (Six mainly wants the monetary reward offered by providence but is eventually swayed by Rebecca's plight, who wants to find the cure for her sister). Both get blindsided when they find out the cure is a sixteen year old with author issues.
Please don't be afraid to send me asks/comments for this AU, I am rabid for ideas on how to expand this further

I had an urge to do a thing, so I did. It's your problem now :)

âWhatâ!â Samâs chest heaved as she stared at the white rubber mask that decorated the concrete floor of the Washingtonâs basement. It looked deceptively harmless. Not at all out of place within the sprawling maze of film props and costumes curated by Hollywoodâs very own âHead-Honcho of Horrorâ. Ugh. Sam shouldâve never doubted her initial suspicions. She knew better! Hanging around the Washington family came with unique fine print and a developed patience in regard to theatrics. Horror clichĂŠs were the Washington familyâs bread and butter. Literally. They lived, breathed, andâmost importantly, monetized Horror cliches. Notes written on shower steam fogged mirrors, corn-syrup blood, and perfectly timed flickering lights had practically been an initiation for Sam when she was thirteen.
In hindsight, the mask had probably been fished up from one of the many boxes scattered haphazardly around her. Maybe even from the very same one Chris snooped through to find the monk robe he used to spook them with. Had that Psychopath costume been stashed away down here the whole time? Had they bypassed it on their way to the boiler? It hurt to think about how gullible she mightâve been. Between the graffiti decorating the foregrounds of the mountain to the Saw inspired game sheâd been forced to watch on the big screen in the home cinema, it was all undeniably Joshâs work.
Even with her newfound awareness she was unnerved. It wasnât unusual for them to play pranks on each other; to try and trick one another into increasingly embarrassing situations was a staple of their friend group. Sometimes, like last year, it went too far. And sometimes, like this year, it was in bad taste.
But hey, screw Sam for thinking this year would be any different, right?
making this just showed me how bad my mental maths is. Theortetical age timeline for some of the main adult cast that I can use as a reference for fics.
I feel like Drew and Doyle are anywhere from 3 to 7 years apart honestly. I went for 5 because flashback Doyle was clearly old enough to walk/run unaided and remember what happened so he has to be at least 4 if not 5.
Drew and Doc have very little difference in age but I've always seen Doc as slightly older
Drew and Van Rook definitely have somewhat of an age gap. This might be @k-i-ssmyash 's headcanons talking but I can 100% see their relationship being them finding common ground as immigrants to America + Drew being a bit enamoured with this guy who gets her situation and is slightly older than she is, although the charm is completely broken once she realises oh shit this guy is a straight up criminal. Plus for Van Rook to be a mentor to Doyle and be a terrible role model for him I feel like
As for other character ages on the chart: No idea how long yetis are supposed to live but the guy has to be at least 60-70, Munya is probably 60 at least as well I feel unless that's the genetic mutations making him look older.
Beeman is the oldest scientist, Cheechoo is the youngest and probably around the same age as Doyle, Miranda is the same age as Drew or Doc
