New twitter/tumblr/etc banner!!! I just need to look at all my beloved weird new OCs every day u feel me

[shazzbaa]

OOPS one more of these! This time: anger bug

[shazzbaa]

So I was on your Toyhouse and SWEET CELERY YOU HAVE A LOCAL AFFIRMATIVE PROFESSOR AU AND HE'S CATAPLACTIC??? It's probably a patreon thing, but if not, can we... Can we have more??? He sounds like the grumpiest professor I need this in my life

OMG!! I’m glad you’re enjoying the nonsense on my toyhouse xD

(also jsyk, local uses xe/xem in AUs too! LOCAL’S DISDAIN OF THE GENDER BINARY IS A UNIVERSAL CONSTANT)

But yeah!! It’s not a patreon thing so much as like……. a fun thing with friends. xD A bunch of my friends started making AU versions of their other fusion OCs to fit into the Magic U AU (the university where Prof. August teaches) so I…… ended up pondering the best way to shove Local in there………

Professor Lokal is delven, a race created by @magpiemalarkey​ that’s been living underground for a long time; there’s still some prejudice and suspicion surrounding them on the surface – in Lokal’s case, it goes both ways.

(more nonsense below the cut)

And as usual, Lokal is psychic (xe naturally gets visions in dreams) and xyr sleep is a mess – whether this is a consequence of the psychic dreams or if the dreams are just aggravating an existing issue is impossible to say, but for all practical intents and purposes, Lokal has narcolepsy.

Every once in a while, class consists of 108 putting on a video while Lokal naps.

Prof. Lokal was exiled a long time ago and hates the surface, so xe’s generally just kind of quietly resentful of everyone who isn’t 108, cynical and prickly with an air of bitter superiority that makes xem tough to get close to. Xe’s… better than xe used to be. It’s a process.

There isn’t very much Prof. Lokal content that isn’t already on toyhouse tbh. xD But I did find this Thing That Probably Happened When AU 108 First Got A Body scribble:

local is a mess in every AU but xe loves this TV very much

help i accidentally had some feelings about these alien roommates

108 (the alien inhabiting a TV) belongs to @sketch-cryptid, Local Affirmative belongs to me

[shazzbaa]

so someone asked for info on my alien child Local and it turns out I have no self restraint so ive been thinking a lot about xyr species actually!! SO HERE HAVE SOME, possibly-not-set-in-stone rambling about that if youre so inclined!! If you’re familiar with the members of Local’s grid you’ll be able to see reALLY EASILY WHAT BITS INSPIRED LOCAL PROBABLY

Local’s species is being called “bugs” for now. They actually look like this:

They’re naturally semi-intangible shadowbeings that are mostly composed of psychic energy with a tiny bit of a hivemind connection, but nowadays, almost all bugs are implanted immediately in a physical body as soon as they’re hatched.

(more scribbles and rambling under the cut)

The body is grown from a combination of genetic material taken from humans and from various insectoid species, and infant bugs bond symbiotically with this body and eventually become the being’s mind, while a mechanical stabiliser is used to keep the bug’s psionics from absorbing and transforming the body to an energy state. (though when they get especially emotional, psychically powerful bugs might rile up their psionics enough to override the stabiliser and manifest extra eyes and limbs anyway).

The body is supposed to make them more solid, so they can interact with physical stuff more easily, and it also focuses their psionics, muting some manifestations so that each bug gets a specific role with specific powers -- of course there’s a bit of a caste system based on what role you’ve been assigned. Psionics are draining for a physical body, so psychic-heavy bodies are low caste; high caste bugs have almost no powers.

Despite the fact that physical bodies are literally built to hamper them and make them tired, most bugs would be uncomfortable in their natural form; they’ve known their physical body all their lives and feel lost, vulnerable, and psychically out of control without it.

(im sorry i couldnt resist)

Local Affirmative xyrself is a “forecaster” -- that third eye means xe gets glimpses of the future, so xe’s in charge of reporting news and omens and can also serve as a strategist in takeover efforts. Normally, the forecaster shares only favourable visions with the public and privately reports the more concerning ones to the authorities. Local….was not as good at that second part.

At some point xe was assigned to a human-colonised planet, received a lot of concerning visions, emphatically prophesied nothing but doom for the bugs’ assault on humanity, and was immediately let go and cut out of the hivemind. Local’s sort of stranded on earth now but has decided to believe that if xe just proves xyrself useful enough, they’ll give xem another chance.

Next time I promise I will actually talk about Local but, for now i hope u enjoyed, thank u for coming to my TED talk

o-oops,

so instead of doing fav character bingo like all the cool kids, I decided to have a crisis when I suddenly realised that Invader Zim, my college oBSESSION and introduction to shippy fanfiction, was not???? included in my first 9-favs fusion grid somehow???????

and that got us talking about how different our fusion ocs would be if we remade them now, with our new favs, or the characters we feel most attached to atm, or characters who should’ve been on the first one but we forgot, or characters that were ALLLLMOST on the first one. How much would stay the same? What kind of character would come out of it?

wELL, I’m here to inform you that I’ve accidentally made a self-important angry bug,

More nusion doodles!

Top left is @himochiart’s nusion Arden, tragic villain shaken by loss when his AI child was nearly destroyed and he could only save one tiny fragment

Top right is Local seeing @sunleopard-art’s Robin in his true form for the first time! Robin’s homeworld was conquered by the bugs years ago, and Local is perhaps a bit nervous to run into one of the survivors,,

Last one is Local & @sketch-cryptid’s 108 again; Local’s used to being linked to the hive when sleeping and without that outlet xyr psionics can go a little wacky while sleeping. 108 stays with xem to make sure xe stays calm and sleeps okay.

even more fight!!!! this wormbaby belongs to @shazzbaa!

Pulled this style from memory, which was super fun and interesting because even when I was super into Zim, it was difficult for me to draw in this style. :o
