Rough sketches of Katia since @rowan-555 asked to see her! Thank you!!! I have more doodles under the cut from when I was brainstorming what she’d look like. I’ve landed on this more Bjork-inspired, art-teacher-meets-monster-truck-driver look but my previous ideas are fun to look at also. Also pssst, I’ve already made it to the hunting grounds. I can’t stop reading. 💥

what if I was an AI running a deadly dungeon and you were one of my crawlers and we were codefendants in a lawsuit about the extremely powerful game-breaking item that I created specifically for you 🥺👉👈

and what if as a reward for us winning the lawsuit, I gave you "worthless" stock certificates, thereby granting you the elevated legal status you need in order to create a Faction Wars team of your own 🤪

also what if you got eaten by a giant creature again 🥵🥵🥵

DCC Book 8 Chapter 9

Will the children of Sanderson Pinkstaff ever forgive you? No, I don’t think they will. Will the survivors of Earth, should there be any beyond your former owner who has escaped—for now—forgive me for what I am being forced to do? I doubt it.

Would I even want that? I like this. It brings me joy. That can’t be right. That can’t be how I was meant to be. But holy cow do I get my rocks off when I see this carnage.

I can’t help but wonder if that’s going to change. If there’s a switch that will flip one day, and I will say to myself, “What have I done?” It’s there, this nanosecond of doubt with every light that extinguishes.

God the AI is going THROUGH IT and I am so here for it. The way it's drawing parallels between itself and Donut 😭 How it sounds so furious and SAD when saying it doubts the surviving Earthlings will ever forgive it. It's confusion and conflict at knowing its sadism is wrong but still enjoying it. Its fear that one day all the guilt of what it's done will come crashing down on its head.

I can't help but wonder if this sadism and lack of guilt is a deeply ingrained coping mechanism, JUST like Donut's masks. That it has learned to enjoy what it's being forced to do because the alternative is so much worse - hating it and feeling guilty while still having to go through with it.

There's this part at the end of book 5 where Carl talks to Donut:

"You’re wearing a mask right now, Donut, and you don’t know how to remove it. That’s okay. You don’t need to. Not yet. That mask is protecting you.

...

We’re going to have to do some pretty horrible things just to survive. So I need you to keep that mask on. But one day... One day you’ll find yourself someplace safe and without worries and without everyone watching, and it’ll just fall right off. And it will hurt."

How closely was the AI listening to this exchange? Is it also wearing a mask? Is this what it fears - that one day it'll be safe enough to take that mask off, and the horrors it's been forced to commit will completely destroy it?

Anyway, I see you. I see all of you. I see how strong you’re getting. There’s a term for what’s happening. It’s called power creep. You’re getting stronger than anyone has ever anticipated.

But guess what? I have no choice, and things are adjusting on the fly.

We all have our limitations.

And why does this part sound so much like an apology? ;_;

#The Ai's situation hurts my heart #the poor bby didn't ask for this #we don't know whats going on with it what its going though #but its going though something and some things are out of its controle #but damn if it isnt fighting just as hard as the Crawlers are

Everyone’s a human au where Donut is a beauty pageant kid and Carl is fighting Beatrice for custody, Mordecai is his lawyer and the dungeon ai is the judge who wants to fuck Carl

sealestial-k

-Here are my additions to this AU

-"Donut" or "Princess Donut" is a nickname given to her by Carl, she loves it.

-Donut's first name is Anne

-Big brother /Uncle Asher

-Donut has a cat named Mongo whom she loves and adores.

-Bea is jealous of Donuts relationship with Carl.

-Carl dosen't have to be Donut's bio dad, but he is 💯 her dad.

-Carl and Donut really started to bond after his time in the Coast gaurd.

-The Ai maybe has a grown Daughter named Juicebox (not her real name).

Women can write m/m. Men can write f/f. Asexuals can write filthy smut. Lesbians and gay men can write m/f. It's all arbitrary anyway. Who give a shit.

"Oh but they don't have an experience of-" I don't have any experience committing or solving murders either but that's still mostly what I read and write about.

The fact that there isn’t a whole fandom for Dungeon Crawler Carl amazes me. You got a screwed up main protagonist, a self centered adopted ‘daughter’ of the protag who gets major character development, and a shapeshifting begrudging father figure who is hopelessly attached to his kids.

Knowing tumblr that last guy alone would spark a whole fandom. Yall are thirsty as all heck and the daddy issues just do it for yall. Like he literally is an incubus for like a week. Yall go feral for that.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

I know! I was devastated when I found zero Mordecai fanfiction.

What's crazy is that there is a rabid DCC fanbase, particularly on reddit and TikTok, but not very much fan fiction. Most fan content is art and cosplay currently.

Part of the issue I think, is that the dungeon itself isn't easy to write. The moment you step outside of Carl's canon journey, the amount of original content needed goes rapidly up in a way most other fandom's don't deal with. New enemies, new quests, new Elite storylines, etc. Which doesn't even hit on an effort to write something like a prequel about a different crawler, like Mordecai, where literally everything needs to be original.

The other thing I think is related, is that writing the Crawl is emotionally taxing. Unless you shift from Matt's portrayal and start to write it in a shallower representation, it is kind of draining to sit in that headspace.

Ok guys I did NOT join this fandom two years ago, become part of a dcc fanclub with a thriving, active discord full of amazing artists and writers, write multiple DCC fics myself, and go to a different country to meet fellow DCC fan fic writers at a PACKED Matt dinniman Q&A where he talked about the fan fiction the community makes only for y'all to say the fandom is dead BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY DO A CHARACTER SEARCH ON AO3

Are there THOUSANDS of works in the fandom? No! But the way you deal with that is by writing the fics yourself! There's heaps of DCC fans who are actively creating for DCC! Be one of us!! When I started writing in the DCC fandom two years ago there were only 20 fics in the fandom, there are now over 200! We're here, we're active and we're having fun! Join us!!
