Lore Matrix

Lore_Matrix on Ao3 Lore-Matrix on ArtFight Ever have one of those obsessions that starts as mild interest, then you've written over 300,000 words about a ship only a niche part of the internet knows about and it forces you to make a Tumblr page? Anyway, I like Transformers, Mettaton, and I have an unhealthy obsession with Gamma Jack/Gazerbeam.

The newest chapter of Electromagnetic Pulse is here! Go check it out now on Ao3!

Chapter 8: Date Night

Even if Gazerbeam is back, his ankle is sprained, and the Screenslaver has become the newest supervillain he has to deal with, Simon Paladino still has a civilian job. Thankfully, Jack is around to make sure that Simon is doing okay.

I got obsessed with this concept the other day so here’s your body swap AU if no one’s done this before! I literally have so many ideas for a storyline of this it’s crazy…

Here’s some of my lil sketches!

[dawnthefox24]

OMFG YES!!!!!!!!

This is so funny because why would Jack would 100% botch the trial because he's already getting bored and two would insult Simon's eyes sight for being "blind" man's eyes are just blurry.

And Simon not having the ability to control the radiation and being scared is so cute not to mention Blazestone just spewing everything out all the while Simon listens in horror.

But all time fave not them understanding how to use their powers which is even perfect XD

Love Bodyswap Au's

HC: Jack unexpectedly speaking perfect Italian (It's Simon talking, momentarily forgetting or wanting to mess with the others).

HC 2: SIMON PALADINO SMOKING AND FLIRTING WITH HIS SHIRT SLIGHTLY OPEN (ITS JACK THIRSTING FOR 'HIMSELF').

[lore-matrix]

HC 2, but Jack sees himself in a mirror and has to do a double take because 1.) It's weird seeing yourself in someone else's body 2.) He's wondering if he can convince Simon to dress like when they're back to normal because Jack would definitely thirst for Simon in a half unbuttoned shirt.

Only Jack has been looking in the mirror for too long, and he forgot about Simon's laser eyes, so he accidentally shoots himself in the face.

Simon would find this funny, but he's busy trying to figure out how to stop Blazestone from noticing "Jack" disintegrated the chair he was sitting in after she started telling him about her and Lucius's relationship.

Bob and Lucius are concerned because Jack and Simon keep running away from them for some reason. But Bob assumes they're doing undercover work and Lucius assumes they're on a date, so they respectfully leave them alone.

[lore-matrix]

Does anyone have some song suggestions for when you need to write about too guys falling in love in 1970 but their lives keep getting interrupted by their mutual fears about how they'll ruin this relationship because one of them is a womanizer who finally matured and only just acknowledged he's bi and the other is so concerned about making sure his boyfriend is happy and safe that he forgets he also has feelings and needs that are important? Also there's an evil rich lady who hates them cuz of her trauma and bad reasoning skills?

After a few months of "Fly Me to The Moon" by Julie London and "The Last Words You Said" by Sarah Brightman, I still adore those songs, but please, I need suggestions for music to listen to while I write (and day dream for a needlessly long time about these two).

I was scrolling on tiktok (as always) when I saw this video that was like "POV you're the main reason the incredibles got popular again only 4 it to die in less than 2 months" showing gamma Jack. n omfg, when I opened the coment section I saw those stupid persons who hate on the character n on the ppl that like gammabeam like. YOU LEFT THE FANDOM WHEN IT WASN'T POPULAR ANYMORE N YOU'RE HATING ON THE FANGIRLS, THE CHARACTER N THE SHIPP THAT KEEPS THIS THING ALIVE STILL? YOU FUCKING TOURISTS IF YOU HATE IT SM THEN MAKE SUM ACTUAL GOOD CONTENT THAT ISN'T IA EDITS OR INVINCIBLE TRACE ART LIKE .

N i wanna say smth that i truly belive it's true. If you make the shippers left the fandom you're condemning a fandom to die. But it seems like ppl don't understand it like.

Omg im so fucking mad rn, I just hate em all. First they where making phonk edits bout Jack n overglazing him, sayin he was the homelander of the incredibles but as fast as they saw an edgy mf sayin that he was overrated scum they all followed like sheeps that stupid opinion like, think for yoursefs.

I'm not hating on those fanboys but. No hell i am, they just want to headcanon superheroes as scum bcuz they love to see supers killing each other or random ppl, they hate to see mor depth on characters n SPECIALLY when it comes to fanon visions

i wanna point out that im hating on the persons that r like this, not on the last mentioned series, omg i could never hate on the boys or on invincible BUT THEIR FANBOYS R INSUFFERABLE SHIT LIKE, LET US HAVE SMTH, IF YOU HATE THE THINGS THAT MAKE A FANDOM STAY ALIVE BECUZ IT DOESN'T FIT ON YOUR EDGY STRAIGHT MALE HEADCANONS THEN FUCKING MAKE SMTH THAT'S ENOUGH TO KEEP YOUR FANDOM ALIVE WITHOUT USING IA (level 1000000% imposible).

Idk im just angry asf, sorry for this hateful post i just 😢 can't

[lore-matrix]

I've been waiting for this fandom to exist for years, and now that is does, all these people who were trying to make it needlessly edgy decided to mock us instead??? Please, we're just having fun. If you're going to be jerks, or if you're going to hate on something we clearly love, you shouldn't interact in this fandom space!

[8orntodie]

OMG LORE MATRIX ILY

[mossvell]

[8orntodie]

OMG THIS IS ME LIKE, WITH EVERY AUTHOR THAT I LIKE FROM AO3 OR EVEN FROM WATTPAD ON MY TIKTOK, I FEEL SO JOYFULL

[mossvell]

FRRRRR

I love everyone in the fandom, all the writers in general. I feel like the community makes the world a better place.

I love you all, people who strive to create and make art.

We're like a family.

[lore-matrix]

I am Lore-Matrix. And I approve this message. :)

Honestly though, it's so fun seeing so many people I recognize from Ao3 on here! Like, wow, my co-worker from Ao3 also has a side gig on Tumblr??

Thanks to the ingenious idea of @molybdenum99, I was forced to tell my obligations to go to hell and draw Jack being raised by Marie Curie.

This is the most cursed AU that has come out of this fandom and I'm happy about it.

[molybdenum99]

OH NO… IMAGINE IF A FANFIC CAME OUT OF THIS👀

[lore-matrix]

The amount of unhinged AU's I've accidentally run into or accidentally came up with in this fandom are insane. I'll just be watching someone react to the Cars movies, and accidentally start thinking about how to make a human Cars Gammabeam AU before I catch myself. One of my fanatics has a huge chunk of its comment section dedicated to a Tangled AU and I don't know how that happened, but I'm proud??? 😭

[mossvell]

@lore-matrix DID YOU SAY CARS AU????????

[lore-matrix]

"A famous race car driver that goes by Gamma Jack is living life in the fast lane until he gets lost on his way to the biggest race of his life. Stranded in a forgotten town of quirky characters, will he keeping racing toward his goals, or will he learn that winning isn't everything in life?"

I guess Simon takes Sally's role as the person who left the big city to live a simpler life in not-Radiator Springs. Also because Lightning assumed Sally was an attorney when he first saw her.

I either love these characters too much, or not enough. I'm scared which it is. XD

[alhexxy-yeah]

I freaking LOVE @lore-matrix fics so I had to make fanart of them 👼

I was gonna draw Simon as well but couldn't find a pose that suited him? Sooo yea

I'm NOT leaving this fandom anytime soon y'all I promise 🤞🏻

[lore-matrix]

Something I find strangely satisfying with the little Incredibles fandom we've made is that no one is debating over the general design of Gamma Jack's outfit. I love it when people headcanon designs for characters when we don't know much about them, but somehow the LEGO Incredibles game gave us a design we're all pretty content with, and that's refreshing in fandom spaces.

At the same time, a LEGO game is the only media we have that gives us a clue about what Jack's outfit and color scheme was?? This is where we got more information about him?? I wonder what we would have come up with if he wasn't in the game. I honestly didn't expect his color pallet to be gold and dark blue, and I also didn't think he was blonde, but I genuinely like it after seeing it.

[lore-matrix]

The first official drawing of Chief Inspector Hart from Radiation Leak/Electromagnetic Pulse!

I love Gamma Jack's super suit, but I adore seeing him drawn in period-typical outfits. I mean, come on, 1. taking advantage of the style of the times for accuracy 2. the 60's give him a very grabbable waist (2.a. Simon would be a great candidate to grab that waist. ...Just saying)

[aether-starin]

Once again rereading everything and I forgot how much this scene hurt 🫶 so I had to draw it quickly- I will draw more happy shit I promise

@lore-matrix electromagnetic pulse is giving me life thank u for the update fr ✋😌🤚im kinda just firing out art of all my top fanfics at this point, but if u have written something i have probably read it i have been on AO3 since the gammabeam tag had like 3 fics in it

[lore-matrix]

Does Brad Bird know The Incredibles had a revival?

Does he know how feral we are for Gamma Jack and Gazerbeam??

Did anyone tell him???

[lore-matrix]

archiveofourown.org/works/74844331/chapters/221287426?view_adult=true

Chapter 7 of Electromagnetic Pulse is here!

"What was supposed to be a weekend fighting crime in New Urbem turned into Gazerbeam having to save a nuclear-power hover train from crashing and killing everyone on board. That kind of put a damper on the entire trip, but at least all Simon has to do now is investigate a potential terrorist attack, and do an interview the Deavors set up to talk about what happened.

Finally, something easy in these past few months."

[gammajacksbedpost]

I feel like when I say Gamma Jack is my favorite character across maybe all of fiction, it’s a little concerning for people, considering he has thirty seconds of talking in a secret file. HOWEVER, the headcanons this fandom has made and the character he has grown to be? Probably my favorite of all time, and if someone makes merch, I shall run out of money

[lore-matrix]

Electromagnetic Pulse: Chapter 7, "We Interrupt This Program," will be on Ao3 shortly!

Somehow I've drawn possessed Chad, of all people, as many times as I've drawn Jack. So, once. XD

(I have no idea if I'll draw a promotional piece for every new chapter of Electromagnetic Pulse and Radiation Leak. Both writing and drawing take a really long time. But I kind of just do whatever my motivation makes me, so, who knows!)

[lore-matrix]

I wanted to write, but sometimes your motivation grabs you and you have to draw instead.

It's a little blurry, but I'll figure out how to use this website properly eventually.

(How does a doodle take so long?? Oh well!)

[m4lkman]

Cough I was reading https://archiveofourown.org/works/74844331/chapters/205538356 and were getting to a part where Simon would get a suit from galbaki spoilers shah Oopies anyway and I was wondering what it would look like so I like uh yeah •>•

I try to take more inspiration from the concept art of Galvani making the suit with the added lines. I know Simon would probably be fine with a darker color palette then Helen cause he had darker suits before but I think he will not like the helmet, maybe it too heavy or something :3 but this is what I think it would maybe look like, but idk I try to harness my inner Galbaki T-T

Personally I think Simon would’ve ride a Harley-Davidson during the glory days and when he gets his new bike, it would just be a more slick and smooth version. Thank you Pinterest for the motorcycle pics.

Love you Electromagnetic Pulse Simon >:0 <3
