Gotta share this before getting into the next Hazbin sketchbook. It's in the same sketchbook, but this is clearly not Hazbin so it's getting posted separately.
Samson is my train boy. Then there's his dad "Blitz" Kriegsler. And either Rufus or Frankie in the bottom corner. Not sure which. These guys are all based on Transformers. Samson is an OC, but you can try to guess the other two.
Joan is unrelated to them or hazbin. She's one of my oldest surviving OCs, and is for an original idea me and some friends had that we will hopefully write eventually.
Soundwave: "Walt" Walter Saunders aka "Mr Sounders"
TFP Soundwave: Wade Saunders
Rumble and Frenzy: Rufus and Frankie(Franklin)
Ravage is a large black cat, Buzzsaw is a "pet" crow, and Ratbat is a pet rat(I couldn't justify a pet bat). Lazerbeak is TFP Soundwave's "pet" raven. The boys named all the animals. The birds are "pets" because I don't think it's legal to have them as pets.
More under the cut
These guys have become some of my favorites to play with in this silly Humanformers AU thing. Soundwave/Walt is so tired. He's a pretty chill guy, but he's got his weird cryptid younger brother (who lives in an underground bunker in the woods, wears a formal suit all the time, wears a weird mask, and hardly ever talks), then he's got his twin boys, who are a... handful. Don't ask who the mom is, I do not know. But they are actually his.
Walt is a musician streamer called MrSounders, but part of the appeal to his audience is the nonsense that happens in the background. Usually the twins do or say something insane. Like, they once decided to play "piñata" with their friend, Samson(OC), which consisted of tying up Samson and hitting him with a bat. They didn't mean it maliciously, they're just stupid. Walt stopped it before anyone got hurt.
Nobody is sure what Wade's deal is. He's got surveillance on the whole city, but why....?? And the suit???
Don't mind me, just posting my boy who loves trains with an autistic passion.
So the Big Boy Engine 4014 came by my place during the summer and I had to go see it(I drew this back when it came, but just now getting around to posting it). Hearing its whistle coming out of the canyon was so...ghostly. It's so different from modern trains.
I couldn't help but think about how excited Samson would be to see it. His friends would want to hang out, but trains are more important, and Samson will not be bothered to explain himself.
The teddy bear is named Casey Jones. No, it has nothing to do with TMNT. Casey Jones was a real historical train engineer. Pretty famous guy in train circles. Of course Samson would know about him.
Long story short, in the face of an imminent crash, he slowed the train enough that he was the only fatality(despite driving a passenger train) and injuries were minor. He became the heroic subject of folklore in "The Ballad of Casey Jones."
Say hello to the Saunders family. There's the terror twins, Rufus and Frankie; their dad Walt(who's a musician streamer known as Mr Sounders); and Walt's weird and mysterious brother, Wade. Special appearances from Samson, the twins' friend who loves trains.
The basic dynamic of the family as represented by a meme.
They may be dragging away their friend to go play "piñata". The idea is that Samson will be the piñata.... They really are friends, it's just that they're all stupid.
The twins have a pet rat, named Ratbat. They torment everyone, even while they sleep.
While playing with his friends, Samson wandered off and met Wade, the weird uncle, in the woods. They get along well. Wade was confused at first.
Rufus and Frankie go to the doctor with an ingenious plan.
This is based off of something my sister @angelfishcake had planned to do when she was a kid. She had the brilliant idea of wearing multiple pairs of pants to avoid getting shots. Because, obviously, the doctor would give up when he was so clearly thwarted. Unfortunately, she forgot to enact her plan. Which is a shame because I very much want to know exactly how that would have played out. I laugh about it every time I think about it.
We thought the scenario fit these idiot chaos children.
The boys often interrupt streams. This was how "MrSounders's" audience learned that he has kids. And for awhile, they thought it was only one kid, cuz they're identical twins. Until one day, the boys both show up and the chat is shocked.
Samson, with his vast knowledge of trains, tells them about the golden spike. The twins want to go make sure it's real gold by biting it. So they go on an adventure to the train yard and run into some graffiti artists. But Uncle Wade scares them off, and takes the kids back home.
Rufus somehow managed to turn on Walt's stream, so the chat got to watch him spin around in a chair. It ends with him tipping over and screaming about it. Chat calls the twins "Mini Sounders".
