[HOWDY STRANGER! SORRY THIS UNIVERSE IS OFF LIMITS! TRY AGAIN WHEN THEY'RE ACCEPTING VISITORS!]
(Meanwhile)
"Woah, did you feel that?"
"Huh, that was indeed strange…"
"OH! Do you think my Cross-Universal Firewall stopped something?"
"Your what? When did you install that?"
"Did I not tell you? Since I've been experimenting more with 'Alternate Universe stuff', me and Kaleidoscope created a sort of Firewall to help keep our universe safe from intruders!"
"That… actually really helpful. Wow"
"Yup yup! You can thank Vic for it. Him being an 'AU Hopper' provided invaluable help when building and testing it"
AvA Sticktober 2024: Day 3 - Drama & Day 5 - Support
I'M LATE BUT WE GOT THERE GAMERS
Posting both days at once because they're connected
Because what's more dramatic than a standoff between enemies and theres more than one way to support someone (whether it be because you're employed by them or because you want to see how it goes)
Also, I love the Cartoon Villain Verse (CV!Verse)
These idiots are so much fun to draw, I've got to do more with them
alskdlgjsg technically I need to do more with all of my AUs and Stick Figures in general, but details details

[Dark's Log]
Day 2 of my super secret expedition is running smoothly. The tip about the Ring of Super Awesome Power has proven fruitful since we have stumbled upon a temple in the jungle.
SOON THAT RING WILL BE MINE AND THEN I WILL BE ALL POWERFUL!!
Will record my findings later.
Hench is about to finish making lunch.
They make the best turkey sandwiches.

[Dark's Log, I should really start numbering these-]
Day 3 and I can practically FEEL the immense amounts of power this ring holds as we get closer. We have run into a snag. It turns out those meddlesome desktop Stick Figures also hear about the Ring. I know for a FACT they must also be after this ultimate power!
WELL NO MATTER!
ME AND HENCH WILL BEAT THEM TO IT
COLOR GANG? MORE LIKE COLOR LAME
thats a good one I should remember that for later...
In other news, Hench has made some observations that this jungle almost seems hand made. They seemed very suspicious that there was a redstone puzzle that unlocked a room with an animal puzzle which lead to a potion brewing puzzle.
But I think that's all pretty standard temple traps.
Heh, they aren't used to being in the wilderness like I am.
OH! I think Hench has figured out the drawing room puzzle.
Dark Out.

Day 4, End:
...
Well that was an UTTER COMPLETE FAILURE-
So here we were, it was me and Hench vs the Color Lames
We both made it to the last room at the same time and at the top of a pedestal was the Ring,
And now both teams are racing towards it! Of course, since I have the superior powers and abilities, I made it there first!
(Hench got taken down by the Blue one with a fishing rod. It was kinda funny to watch)
AND LO AND BEHOLD-
THE RING WAS FAKE
IT WAS MADE OUT OF GUMMY CANDY
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GAIN ULTIMATE POWER WITH A PIECE OF SQUISHY SUGAR???
Luckily it was watermelon flavored so it wasn't a total loss,
But it turns out the Green one built this entire jungle temple?
Just so his friends could have fun??
"The real prize was the friendship you made along the way"
Gross, Disgusting, Yucky
Makes me shudder thinking about it.
And they had the gall to congratulate me on getting to the end first and I, of course, said that they'd regret making me waste my time, picked up Hench, and blew a hole through the ceiling. I kept the candy ring of course. It's MY prize...
I gave half of it to Hench because they kept asking for a piece.
...
We're back at home base now. I hate to admit it but that puzzle temple was kinda fun... And the design was very nice...
Hmmm... I wonder how Hench would feel if I added some overgrown vines to the outside of the castle...
hey there! im kinda new to your works, and i cant find the full CV!universe qwq
i dont mind an info dump lol
OH MAN ANON YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE 8D
The main reason why you haven't heard much about the AvA Cartoon Villain verse is that I'm horrible at actually updating any of my AUs here on Tumblr
But you've handed me a perfect opportunity to info dump and info dump I shall
Okay so, as a recap, the Cartoon Villain verse (aka the CV!verse) is an AU I created back before the start of AvM season 3 started where I wanted to be incredibly self-indulgent about the possibility of the Dark Lord ever returning so me and a couple of others on the Enthusiasts server started listing off funny saturday morning cartoon villain tropes we liked. And lo and behold, the CV!verse was created
As it stands now, the CV!verse is an AU where after the events of Showdown, Dark wakes up from being blasted into the side of the mountain and literally stumbles his way onto Purple's MAC. At this point, Purple has already made up with their villagers and is back being their king. So when Dark arrives, he sees Purple wearing a crown, decks them in the face, declares himself ruler of the castle, and them promptly passes tf out.
Purple in their utter confusion, takes Dark back to the castle and nurses him back to health. As thanks, Dark offers Purple a job as his henchman, and Purple is so amused (and quite literally has nothing better to do) agrees.
So now they're a Villain and Henchman duo who's goal is to take over Alan Becker's PC and the Color Gang (also known as the Color Lames, Dark's nickname for them) has to stop them. Additionally, despite this being created before AvM s3, I still have incorporated some elements, particularly the characters, from that season. Although, nothing is canon past AvM Lucky Blocks and that includes the current AvA arc with Victim.
Essentially, I've taken these sticks and I'm playing around with them like dolls. Some characters I've changed in terms of backstory pretty drastically because it fits in better with the AU and frankly, its funnier.
Also because of the cartoon influences, I like imagining the AU takes place in like episodic seasons.
So Season 1 would be where Chosen (whose been going around the Interweb as a Virus Hunter) ended up back on Alan's PC and after finding out Dark is still alive, agrees to mentor Second. Dark is absolutely THRILLED that Chosen is back because that means he can have his nemesis back (and he does genuinely miss him but he'll never admit it). The season would be about introducing the characters with the overarching plot being the struggle of accepting change and whether or not it's okay to accept a role that was placed upon you.
Season 2 is where we meet Victim/Vic (also known as L!Vic whose is based off of @iluvylalevu Victim) who at the end of the season is revealed to be an Alternate Dimensional Traveler. So he's not this AU's Victim. Vic ends up joining Dark and Purple on their adventures because tbh, their shenanigans are a lot of fun and he looooove silly stuff. This season is also where we're introduced to King MT, a evil genius inventor in the field of robotics (who is also very divorced and sometimes Gold will stop by to help out). King doesn't actually appear (aside from a few mentions) until the end of the season. This season would focus on expanding the world of the AU, going over some sticks new backstories (Purple's parents are still alive and the family is not broken!!) while the overarching plot would be dealing with the feelings of not belonging and of being replaced.
Season 3 is where we get into dabbling with Alternate Universe stuff. Because at the end of Season 2, Vic goes back to his own universe and that inspires Dark to start looking into how to travel into other universe. Due to this tampering with reality, a new character appears on Alan's PC who happens to be a ghost stick figure named "Shade". So while Dark is doing AU theory, the Color Gang is looking for clues as to who "Shade" is and why xir bound to the desktop. By the end of the season, Dark figures out dimensional travel and its revealed that "Shade" is this AU's version of Victim who at remembering xir past, pulls an "Aggie Prenderghast from Paranorman" and starts destroying the desktop. Dark, Purple, the Color Gang, and Chosen have to escape into L!Vic's dimension to avoid the fallout. This season's main theme is the yearning for something new and the grief of the past.
Season 4, the group heads back and through the power of friendship (and promises of forgiveness and second chances), they manage to calm Victim down, who decides xe like the name Shade better. And honestly, that's as far as I got. This would also be the point where CV!Dark starts visiting other AvA AUs for fun (like how the CV!Trio visited my AvA Mafia AU ^^)
But yeah, that's about it. An overview of the AU!
Honestly, if anyone wants I'd be more than happy to info dump about any specific things about the AU. Like characters, character relationships, any episode ideas. That kinda stuff
Cuz it's all trapped in my head rn and I just haven't had the chance (or time) to actually do anything about it alskdjlgdsg
