Camp Camp AU: Part 3

EdSurprise! Surprise! I’m back after a long, long hiatus. The reason for me being gone is none other than school. Unfortunately it is the end of my winter break and I still have to dedicate time to my midterms and my horrific amounts of homework as well as my job, so I still won’t have much time to spend here. And I’ve also been meaning to respond to the tremendous amounts of asks I’ve received regarding the Prom event I started prior to the long unexpected hiatus, but I realized I couldn’t without posting this first. With the little time I’ve had lately, I was able to come up with four long awaited characters, so without further ado, here they are!! (also disclaimer these descriptions are gonna be so shitty because i’m literally so tired and i have no creative juices rn whatever happy 2019)

Vera : Having worked uncover for most of the childhood and adolescence, Vera as well as the other exchange students have decided to retire and return to the town in which the kids of Camp Campbell reside, in search of a better wholesome lifestyle. Although they would never admit that to themselves. The self-proclaimed leader of the group, Vera, remains as cold and precise as she was years back. She strikes fear into the hearts of her classmates and is an intimidating force of nature in the school. She constantly challenges people like Ered and Sasha, who are more esteemed, for a position of power in the school, which therefore attracts the curiosity of Edward. Vera rejects the company of anyone outside of the foreign exchange group, but hesitantly acknowledges Nikki, Neil, and Max for what they had done for her when they were children. Although highly skilled in every area, Vera associates mostly with the school’s gymnastics team as she finds it a healthy way to relieve and stress from the PTSD she is haunted by from her time as a spy. Not much has changed about her from an outsider’s perspective, but she has shown to become a bit more humane. Although she stills finds enemies in the likes of Spacekid and often argues over the validity of America’s first man on the moon. 

Hwan : Hwan returned to the town for the same reason as the other foreign exchange students. He remains completely dedicated to North Korea and its leader, but has come to acknowledge the individuality of Americans. He is leader of the Academics Team and is quite competitive, for he wants to attract the positive attention of his leader.  He hopes to rule over each club in the school in order to gain ultimate control and win another nation for North Korea. But until then, he is content with his leader role. Not much has changed about Hwan quite yet, but he has managed to bond with Neil and surprisingly Tabii, who are also members of the same team. 

Dang : Out of all of the foreign exchange students, Dang is the most excited to return. Although he is the most willing to give up his malicious ways, he is still a bit manipulative of his peers and will go to any extent to get what he wants. He is incredibly intrigued by American history (which has gotten him closer to Space Kid) and is interested in the agricultural workings of the planet. Because of his interest in plant life, he has become an adamant protester for pollution and because of them has bonded with Ered who shares the same beliefs. Besides reading, Dang also has a talent in photography. He is gifted with a camera and manages to find the beauty in even the smallest of things. He is rarely ever seen without it and not surprisingly is a member of the school’s Photography club. 

Brian : Lastly, Brian has also returned with the foreign exchange students, also having experienced a personal change himself. He is still just as logical and exasperated as he was as a kid, but is now a trusted companion. He is in the school’s Marching Band and plays the drum, although he finds it incredibly dull. But nonetheless, he sucks it up in order to be closer to Nurf. Over the summers, Nurf and Brian had gotten in contact with each other and eventually fell in love and began a secret long distance relationship which eventually became a lot less long with Brian’s sudden move. However, Brian is conflicted because he wants their relationship to remain disclosed while Nurf is urging them to become public. Brian has issues with commitment, which makes that idea intimidating. However, he still wants the best for Nurf. Regardless of whatever Brian and Nurf are going through, Brian is overall distant from the rest of the students and remains to himself most of the time and has no complaints towards the school that he moved to. He remains simply content.

Who are the campers going with for prom?

This was a popular question! And here’s the answer! This is a diagram of the people who are going with another person. The people excluded from this list are either attending alone or not attending at all. Dang is in charge of the photography and David and Gwen have agreed to chaperone for the event to make sure nobody gets too wild. Snake is attempting to pursue Tabii with little promising results and Spacekid is just enjoying himself. Of course not every couple here is romantic and obviously there are some who don’t make sense according to how this AU has been presented so far. There’s a backstory for how each of these characters got where they are now….

Nikki and Harrison are on a “date” 

Max and Sasha are on a “date” 

Ered and Dolph are there together as friends

Preston and Nerris are also there together as friends

Brian and Nurf are a couple

Pikeman had asked Vera to go with him

Neil is currently stuck in a sticky situation with Tabii and Erin

Hopefully this answers everyone who asked this question! On with the asks!

[camp-campus-universe]

It’s Prom Night! For the next week or so, I’ll be only answering prom-based asks for don’t hold back! I know this is an awful idea because I’m already so behind but oh well haha, hopefully I’ll be able to keep up

[camp-campus-universe]

is this blog alive

Yes! Or rather, it will be again very soon! I’m so sorry to everyone for taking such a long break. When I started this at the end of summer, I really thought it’d be easier to keep up with being active as well as answering everyone’s questions since it was a little smaller. I was really wrong! oopsie! I ended up getting super mega busy during the school year, and never had enough time to come back to this. But! With the school year coming to an end and my weekends finally beginning to free up again, I’m happy to say that I plan on making a big comeback, so please don’t give up on me yet! I’m planning on coming out with more asks, more events, more short comics and so on. Of course, I’ll be starting out with what i left off on, which would be the Prom AU. Of course, I’m still not done with school yet. I have a three more weeks to kill and a bunch of projects, papers, and finals in between, so it’ll be a gradual progression. But please have some patience! Thank you and I’ll see you all again very soon! <3

Nikki: I'm the man of this relationship! >:3 Max: oh ya? *pins her to the wall* Nikki: 0-0 Max: how about now? >:3 Nikki: I'm still the man xD

This is a wholesome relationship

Camp Campus AU: Part 2

Finally! It’s here, after like a week! This took longer than I thought it would, these characters are really hard to draw but I think I’m pretty satisfied with what I have right now. Since I finished this, that also means I dedicate more time to asks, specifically those that requests drawings! That also means I can focus on drawing comics and stuff revolving around their relationships, which I’m excited. I’m really excited to continue with this project and see it grow, and I’m so glad you’re all here to see it with me! You have no idea how grateful I am for all of the love that you’ve all sent so far! Thank you so much. Anyway, without further ado, here we go!

Maxwell/Max : Like many of his peers, Max hasn’t changed much since his time at Camp Campbell. Max is still as vulgar as ever and maintains his pessimistic outlook on life. However, many people think its all just an act now to keep up his reputation. Since Camp Campbell, Max’s life has honestly taken a turn for the better. He has a healthier home life, loyal companions, and Mr. Honeynuts. He is generally happier than he was 7 years prior. The only inner conflict Max truly struggles with now are his budding feelings for his best friend and whether or not he wants to jeopardize their friendship. Also Max is often teased for his “baby” hands, they’re really really small. 

Cornelius/Neil : Intelligent, cocky, and overly sarcastic, Neil plays the role of the parent when it comes to handling Nikki and Max. Unlike his friends, Neil was the only one who matured both physically and mentally and feels as if its his job to make sure Nikki and Max don’t wind up killing someone else or themselves. As mentioned before, Neil and Nikki remained close even after each summer brought an end to their Camp Campbell experience. The reason being his dad and Nikki’s mom eloping and combining the families. While Nikki is eager to invite Neil into her life as the older brother she never had, Neil harbors a sort of resentment towards his dad as a result of his parents’ divorce. Although he is glad to spend time with Nikki as well, Neil is still consciously struggling with his parents’ divorce and can’t help but to think that Candy is a homewrecker, even though he had admitted before that his parents’ relationship was awful. Outside of his home life, Neil can be a bit stuck-up and act like a know-it-all at times. He still harbors a deep loathing for Harrison, now mostly because Harrison claims to be a flat-earther. He’s also still incredibly annoyed by Space Kid, although he has no reason to be. Neil also runs a tutoring business at school in order to make a profit, but unfortunately for him (Or maybe fortunately) Tabii’s his only reoccurring customer. Neil is also Erin’s vice president in the Student Council and they seem to make a great team. He also has custom-made glasses because his nose is so fucking big.

Preston Goodplay : Preston is the stereotypical school thespian. Like at Camp Campbell, he’s outrageous and posses a larger than life attitude. He’s both over-dramatic and overemotional, but refuses to take any form of criticism. Preston is often cast as a main role in any school production and even takes it upon himself to critique his underclassmen in the drama department. Despite coming off as a total wacko, Preston is very talented and each performance that he gives is full of energy. Preston is very particular about his passion and is quick to anger if things don’t go his way. Preston acknowledges his relationship with his of his Camp Campbell peers, but doesn’t really willingly share his interest with any of them because of his fear that they might fuck it all up. However, he and Nikki do bond over some musicals that they both enjoy, although Nikki is usually more interested in the violent parts than the actual plot. 

Rudolph “Dolph” Houston : Dolph is the youngest of the cast and the only underclassmen in their friend group. Dolph continues to remain in high spirits and prefers to think positively than reflect upon the negative when faced with difficult situations. After High school, Dolph plans on attending a local Art College in order to truly embrace his career as a professional artist. Growing older, Dolph, like any other boy, went through puberty and grew facial hair. However, he ended up accidentally shaving it in an incident at Camp Campbell one summer and it never grew up correctly after that. Although an innocent mistake, the uncanny resemblance to Hitler disgusts Neil and causes him to keep his distance. Ironically being the youngest of the group, Dolph is a good friend with sole senior Ered. Dolph, like Nikki, has a great admiration for Ered and respects for activism. Using his artistic talent, Dolph often agrees to make protest signs for Ered or even help her vandalize the town to get a message across. Overall, Dolph is the same sweet boy he was years ago. 

Neil Armstrong Jr./Space Kid : Space Kid is just as optimistic and upbeat as he was before. However, he’s also gotten a lot smarter. Inspired by his great grandfather, Neil Armstrong, Space Kid decided to take up an internship at NASA and since then has put a lot of focus on his grades. Much to Neil’s annoyance, Space Kid’s GPA is practically the same as his, which is impressive. Although, the constant work has taken a toll on him and has made him absolutely exhausted. His exhaustion explains why he comes to school dressed comfortably in pajama pants (NASA merch of course TM) everyday. But regardless of overworking himself, Space Kid still tries his best to put on a happy face for his colleagues, even if they don’t appreciate it. 

Harrison : Exerting the same confidence and pride as before while still upholding his magical title, Harrison is the school’s sole illusionist. Although now his tricks aren’t seen as that impressive anymore among his peers, Harrison often attends parties and other small events and shows off his miraculous talent. He hopes that one day he’ll be discovered and whisked away to a life of fame and fortune. Harrison is kind to practically everyone he meets, but his rivalries with Neil and Nerris remain very alive. As a way to annoy Neil, Harrison often lies and says that he’s a Flat-Earther with no intention of listening to Neil’s explanation as to why the Earth is round. Harrison also rivals Nerris not only in magical skills, but also in opinions. As a die hard Harry Potter fan, Nerris had solely read the books and reluctantly turned to the films but found them to be distasteful. However, Harrison had never read the books and enjoyed the effects that the movies had, claiming that they’re superior. And by saying this, the two renew their fierce opposition to each other, but no one can stay mad at each other forever. Having a mostly positive attitude, many might not believe that Harrison actually has a secret, one that lies beneath his iconic white gloves. But it’s too soon to know for sure what it is yet. 

Gaylord “Nurf” Nurfington : Nurf ended up growing into a model citizen. After many anger management classes and corrective punishment, Nurf has finally turned his life around in the right direction. He and his mom currently live together and support each other, trying to rewrite their bad decisions from the past. Nurf often participates in volunteer work as well as lead a therapy group. He has also experiemnted more with his own identity and is comfortable admitting that he is in fact Bisexual. Nurf is also Quarterback for the school’s team and is known as one of their best players, alongside Nikki. Even though he is on his way to becoming an ideal person, Nurf still displays some aggressive tendencies and is very overprotective of his friends from Camp Campbell. 

The Wood Scouts (Billy “Snake” Nikssilp/Edward Pikeman/Jermy Fartz/Stephen van Petrol) : The Wood Scouts don’t play a particularly large role in this AU, but they still exist in this universe. Edward’s leader status has deteriorated in the group and has become co-dependent on Jermy and his newfound popularity. Jermy had gotten a major glow-up over the last Summer and is now considered to be the hottest guy attending the school. Because of his popularity, Edward now clings to Jermy in a one-sided friendship and uses his popularity as a way to elevate his own confidence (he wants clouts lmao).Snake and Petrol have both noticed this behavior from Edward and are disgusted by his attachment to Jermy. Edward often neglects his friendship with the two and refuses to associate with them. Snake still has a small crush on Tabii, but understands that she is completely invested in Neil and wants what’s best for her. Petrol plans to enroll in the military after graduation. He also struggles to find shirts that fit him.

David & Gwen : Here they are! In all of their glory! Unfortunately this time around, David and Gwen don’t play as large of a role in the campers’ lives, but are still actively present in this AU. Summers back, David had fully encouraged Gwen to leave Camp Campbell in search for other job opportunities in the hopes of making her a happier person. With some persuading, she eventually left and the two had little contact with each other since. Since then, David has been running the camp by himself. Now David is the proud father of one. And that one is Max. David had officially adopted Max a few summers ago to help him out of his bad family situation and now lives his life as a proud suburban dad. David then started to rely on Max to help him co-counsel the Camp during the summer, because he though it’d be a great father/son bonding experience and the rest is history. When he’s not a happy-go-lucky camp counselor during the summer, David spends the rest of his time as a Dental Assistant because he loves nothing more than to see people smile. Gwen, however, didn’t find the happiness she thought she would after leaving Camp Campbell. Searching for jobs endlessly, Gwen eventually was hired as a high school guidance counselor but was fired months after because of a incident where she made a student cry hysterically. Gwen was then stripped of her title and sentenced to a secretary position. Although thankful she still has a job, Gwen is as miserable as ever and has to deal with the kids she once knew from Camp Campbell. Most of her time is spent with Max, purely because he’s given a detention every other day, and she couldn’t hate her life more. Hopefully one day Gwen will find the fortune she deserves.

Did Max gain a crush on Nikki while they were still growing up, or did it only happen during high school

It happened once upon a summer :)
