My neck hurts to much to do the other parts so maybe I'll do em later. But on the bright side WANDER GETS RELIGIOUS TRAUMA CUZ OF HIS MOM!!! (Implied in the art sorta)
BEGGINER WOY ART
" and Idle brain invites the devil in, mother (father) forgive me for my sins"
"MY SINS"
Inconsistency central we love to see it (the girls head is to small but I didn't feel like fixing it)
Other ver but with heads slightly colored in since I couldn't chose between em
Golden trio puppy pile. Them one on top of the other constantly. Harry's head on Hermione's lap, his legs going over Ron's, or any other combination.
Them so softly in love. Hermione calling them "her boys", Harry calling them "his family", Ron calling them "his people". I just love them so much.
Harry and Hermione kissing early in the morning, Ron making a lil teasing comment about being jealous and both of them say something along the lines of "you can join us you know."
Ron and Harry play fighting as Hermione watches, telling another person that she would never be so childish, only for the two of them to drag her into it jokingly and for her to openly go along with it.
Ron braiding Hermione's hair for her late at night as they talk, Harry walks in blearily from a nightmare. He's scared he's intruding but immediately they both beckon him to them. Hermione gets him to sit in her lap as Ron continues braiding.
The three of them just having a relaxing day off. Harrys with his shirt off and Ron gets the bright idea to draw on his back. Hermione and Ron both mark him as theirs.
I like imagining that Ron knows Gaelic and Hermione knows Haitian Creole because of their families. They all learn each other's languages, with Hermione and Ron learning Parseltongue for Harry.
Just- just them in love guys. Them being each other's entire world.
I'll be honest I'm not a super awesome artist so I rely on writing instead, so I have this one au about wanders past that I'd like to talk about! No name for their species tho since I hate using the star Nomad one and the other one I have is used for my other au
Anyway so I imagine that in the beginning wander was living in his home planet family and all, (his family consisted of a mother a father and two older siblings I middle son and a older daugher) he had a pretty okay life his father was a little rude sometimes (and by rude I mean abusive) but overall nothing too bad, till one day a war
had started, their government leader had made a wrong choice with one of their allies and it caused the other two declare war, so they got bombed quite literally, this was how wander first experienced loss and helplessness (not really the first time experiencing helplessness but definitely the most effective and long lasting one)
He felt helpless due to being forced to watch half of his kind, friends, neighbor's heads being blown off by guns and being powerless to stop it, he wanted to help but knew deep down he was too small and weak to do anything (insert baby wander) his family had found him 9 hours into the attack at basically midnight.
wander was hiding under a blanket held up by a garbage bin and a crate almost like a pillow fort, he was scared to death but still took in the absence of his father, his sister had picked him up he asked again and again where dad was till she lashed out "don't you get it! Dad isn't here ###### he died... He was too late he tried to stay in the house and...and..."
She had fallen to the floor sobbing letting him stand up, he stood staring down at his sister watching her cry not knowing what to do as his brother and mother comforted her, after a while they had heard another gunshot and decided to keep moving, his mom had picked up a bottle of orble juice and got them out of the planet.
wander looked back and saw smoke coming from some parts of the place, and multiple buildings were blown into or abandoned, there were still some fires going and he heard gunshots or maybe that was just him, he was so small and his ears were sensitive, he could still hear a faint ringing as well.
They had moved to another galaxy and dropped into the most town like planet they could find, it was slightly ghetto from the looks of it but it was good enough, these people didn't like him nor his family due to them being immigrants and definitely not from there, they spent a few weeks being homeless till his sister and mother both found jobs and they slowly started saving up money till they got a house!
They had moved in and everything seemed fine, his mom didn't seem to be mourning over their dad like the kids were but even at his young age he understood that people grieve differently.
After a few months they had started to think that maybe they could have a good life here, the kids were going to school and money wasn't a problem since they were two people getting income for the home.
Till at some point they had found out something was wrong with this galaxy, when they first moved in they had figured out no one here could get out once they got in, they brushed it off at the time but now they found out that this galaxy was actively dying and it was taking down everyone with it (I don't know much about space so don't expect some sciency explanation out of me the gravitational pull was forcing everyone to stay in no matter the force they tried to use or something) Andromeda (wanders sister) had done some research and found out that there was a magic somewhere in this galaxy called star magic, it has enough magic too help get everyone out of here at the expense of the user, not for them to die but for their mind and body to become corrupt to the point of no sentience or being.
Andromeda was willing to take the chance for her family so she left without a word to find it, a few days in she had and planned to use it to help her family, due to the exposure to so much power as she was using it to help them she was slowly ripping at the seams, and due to the second hand exposure wander and the rest of his family became well immortal (and got a lil bit of powers but wander doesn't ever use it so it doesn't matter) so after everyone was safe Andromeda was left to rot alone in a barren wasteland of a galaxy (her magic got it to last for another few Millenia but since the planets were kind of destroyed in the process of letting the others out there was no point for anyone to live there)
wander still visits her sometimes in the future
(sorry for it being kinda ass it's old and sorry for it literally just being abstraction I didn't know how else to depict it and it felt like it matches better)
So they had to immigrate into a new galaxy once they moved everything was less hopeful than last time, his mom stopped trying and since wander was too young comet (his brother) had to step in and find work and a home for them, it took a longer time than before and they ended up getting a trailer but it was still a home, his mom ended up turning to alcohol and stopped caring for him and his brother.
she always leaned on Andromeda and now that she was gone she had no one else to go to so she started projecting onto wander, she started teaching him about how he should always smile no matter what and to never be sad, she told him about how much of a burden he was and constantly told him to make himself useful and he found a way to do that, to help his mom and his small family in whatever way he possibly can, ever so slowly that became his only purpose in his mind, to help people with stuff no matter what it was.
So that was the family dynamic, his mom drank herself half blind, his brother worked himself to death, and he himself helped in whichever way he could..
After a long while wander decided that his moms insults started to get way too much, she started complaining that he ate too much junk food or he didn't eat enough, that he was so useless or too helpful, that he was too much or too little so by that time he (like Sylvia) had decided to leave, he packed up took a orble bottle they had laying around and left, not without leaving a note first about why he was leaving..
his mother didn't notice she was too busy being drunk to but his brother noticed instantly he felt bad about it obviously but he knew that he couldn't just stop and abandon everything like his mom did, so he kept working and just pushed his emotions aside for the good of the family.
And that's how his adventures started!!! Due to everything and his mother's comments he like his brother pushed down his emotions and acted happy for everyone, he put everyone over him and because of his mother he thought extremely low of himself, he's been living with these thoughts for thousands of years only forgetting them when he finds people to help or friends to be with, thats why he constantly needs things to do and constantly has to help, if he doesn't he'd either feel useless and like a burden or just have low self worth or he'd feel horrible and want to die :)
THATS IT I LOVE WANDER YAYYYYY (I have a second au that's less depressing than this dw only with the expense of it being extremely magical and childish)
This is quite definitely obvious but I just wanted to talk about how wander would be a perfect villian, not the type that hater and all the others are I feel like he'd do good at like more of a small time type of villian he wouldn't be taking over planets but he would definitely leave them worst then when he'd find them, he's sneaky as hell and knows how to get under peoples skin HE LITERALLY HAS A HAT THAT WILL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU NEED so if he were to be a villian he could dig into the hat and would pull out whatever was needed to terrorize the place.
He would never do any of this but I feel like it's a cool thought, since he definitely has the ability to and most likely every reason to (baby wander being scared out of his mind) but he just choses not too, that's probably one of the best things about his character but it would be cool to see him as a hyperactive sneaky and speedy type of villian that doesn't even want to rule galaxies all he wants is to cause pain and suffering for fun, almost like dominator which reminds me of how similar they are, they both share the same determination just for different things, one for helping and one for destruction and both could work as either one just as good as the other does if they're stories and roles were switched, but I suppose it could work for anyone if stories were switched around but it feels like it just works a little more with those two
“The Tourist” is interesting because it brings up a surprising and seemingly under-discussed aspect of Wander’s character - how much he actually takes pride in his “wandering”
At the beginning of the episode he was happy to “meet another wanderer” but quickly grows insecure after realizing Trudi apparently has visited more places than him. He’s apparently been wandering for over a thousand years and could presumably do so for thousands more, so what’s the rush? Why the competition? Did he just caught up in the moment?
It makes me wonder if it’s perhaps something like “wandering is all I do and it’s all I am so I have to be the best at it” which.. honestly kinda reminds me of Hater? It got pretty extreme too, to the point of disrespecting + hurting Sylvia and other planet’s cultures.
It’s unlike Wander to have so much pride… mildly intriguing
I have an idea on how we can get more WOY fans. There's another solution that I have in mind, although some of you may know already or may not know. We can cross WOY characters with other characters from any shows, regardless of popularity, in our fanart. The reason for crossing WOY characters with other characters can leverage existing fandoms to introduce new audiences to Wander and Sylvia's galaxy. By placing any WOY character alongside characters from Phineas and Ferb, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Bluey, etc., we instantly build a bridge for fans who might not have seen WOY before.
Here are some examples:
- Sylvia fist bumping with Star Butterfly
- Wander dancing with Bluey and Bingo
- Lord Hater and Dr. Doofenshmirtz coming up with a scheme
