Okay so, turns out I have more HCs request than I thought...
So since those are going to take awhile (and I certainly don’t want to spam you guys too much with HCs posts), I figured I can ask this now! And if you’re wondering what this is, I’m asking for specific asks!
I’ve got a few original AUs that I haven’t touched on in awhile. Right now, the two that I can think of are my Steam Punk Hat AU and my Beetlejuice AU! And since I want to expand on these two AUs a little more (or any other AUs that I may have), why don’t you guys send me some asks about them? You can ask question about the world, characters, or we can even do a bit of roleplaying with the characters if you’d like! (Just please no spamming asks-)
I’ll be gone for a little while, but until then you guys can fill up my inbox!
What is Snatcher like in the Steampunk au and how does he react or feel about Moonjumper?
They kind of disagreed at first, but they’re much better friends than any other Snatcher or Moonjumper! Sometimes they lean towards enemies, other times they lead towards buddies! They only get along better because they both have a grudge towards Thor. Thor didn’t exactly like Snatcher when he found out that his daughter made him, so the two bond over that.
But Snatcher is still a bit snarky, commenting on how Moonjumper is made of “older material” or that he’s “not nearly as upgraded” as he is. (He likes to flaunt the fact that he makes his own adjustments to his body, much to everyone’s annoyance) And Snatcher’s still a little bit wary about Moonjumper’s intentions, once he over-hears that he plans to “help” Hattie and possibly take her away. So they might get in a little disagreement about that.
But they soon find out that they’re linked in more ways than one...
( meeps back into existence) I have the hurt comfort sad moon in submits for you....Also, 1: I LOVE THE STEAMPUNK AND PLS TURN IT INTO A REAL AU and 2: the next prompt could be....Metallic and affectionate! ( I'm failing at being sneaking. I just really want more insight on steamjumper) - Silver
((Already posted the other two things, just using this ask for the prompt)) Alright, I’ve got the new prompt for you as well! Robotic (as in the AGIT AU) and Anger. I feel like we need more angry Moonbot in our lives, so why not?
Here we go again with Steam Punk Hat AU!

“YOUDID WHAT?!”
Moonjumpercringed at the shouting, knowing very well who it belonged to. He washiding behind the basement door, having cracked it just enough so hecould listen in on the conversation.
Hattiehad been visiting him for the past couple days after she had freedhim. At first, Moonjumper planned “fix” her so she could be withhim forever and later they could make their escape. But after a bitof negotiation, Hattie had somehow convinced him to go with a betterplan. To instead, live with her and her family and not turnher into a robot. (She had told him over and over that she wasperfectly fine with being human, though he didn’t quite understandwhy)
Hattiehad told him to stay in the basement until she talked things overwith her father. But Moonjumper was pretty sure he knew what kind of“father” she was dealing with. And an inkling feeling in his veryCore told him that this plan wasn’t going to work at all.
“Pleasedon’t be mad at me! I just wanted to-”
“Itold you not to go down there! Do you have any idea whatcould’ve happened to you?!” the shouting returned, cutting offthe little girl’s words abruptly. “You could’ve been hurt or-”
“Orwhat?! Find the robot in the basement that you locked up?!”Moonjumper felt himself gasp at Hattie’s words. Had it been underdifferent circumstances, he would have found her retorts ratherhumerus. But the atmosphere was extremely tense, with his fate beingon the line. Would she even be able to convince her traitor of afather to let him be free?
Moonjumperleaned closer, listening intently as there was a short period ofsilence.
“H-howdid you-?” the creator spoke, clearly phased. But the disbeliefonly lasted for so long. “Listen, I know it looks bad. But trustme, there’s a good reason for why I-”
“Nothere isn’t! You locked him down there without even giving him achance!”
“Thatthing down there isn’t a ‘he’. It’s just a machine-”
“Nohe ISN’T!” Moonjumper startled at Hattie’s angryscreams. “He’s a person and his name is Moony! And he told methat you-”
“HarrietJeannette Tyme, that is enough!” Moonjumper could feel achill in the air after those words were spoken. He felt incrediblynervous. With such an authoritative parent like that, how on earthcould Hattie get through with this plan? But he also felt incrediblyfurious. How dare his creator call him a“thing”! He barely had any room to talk, treating him like just amindless “machine”! He had feelings, and at least Hattieunderstood that he-
“Youknow what? I’m not going to tolerate this any longer.” Moonjumperwas immediately snapped out of his thoughts, as he heard footstepsquickly approaching.
“Daddy…?Daddy where are you going?” littler steps followed, and Hattie’svoice clearly sounded panicked.
“Ishould have lock that door up when I left that monster downthere.” the footsteps continued to get closer and closer, until hiscreator was right at the foot of the door. He heard the clinking ofkeys after, which almost sent a shock through his system.
“NO!DADDY PLEASE DON’T-”
HearingHattie’s pleads was enough to send Moonjumper over the edge. Andwith incredible force, he burst through the door. He could hear a cryof surprise, as his creator lost his bearings and fell to the floor.The keys hit also hit the floor with a clank, right in frontof Moonjumper’s wheel.
Moonjumper’seyes were bright red, and full of rage. He looked down at hiscreator, who was laying on the floor and looking up at him in fear.His eyes switched from his creator, to the keys on the floor. Thecreator noticed this, and before he could make to grab the keys back-
Moonjumpersnatched the keys from off the floor. He made his creator watch,horrified, as he crushed the keys in his metal grasp. With horriblecrunching noises, Moonjumper destroyed the keys until they werepractically unusable. He then dropped the mangled and bent keys,letting them fall to the ground once more. His creator simply watchedas Moonjumper towered over him, his large shadow looming over thefloor.
“N-n-not…apri…soner…” Moonjumper growled, his clawed handsoutstretched above his head. “W-w-won’t lo…ck me a…way!”he yelled, ready to pouch on his creator and-
Moonjumperfroze, as he finally heard the sobs of a child.
Heturned his gaze away from his creator, only to see Hattie huddled inthe corner. And she was crying, her face in her hands. Moonjumper’sarms fell to his sides, his eyes turning back to yellow.
“H-H-Hattie?A-a-are you o…kay?”Moonjumper called to her, in a softer and much gentler tone. He startto roll away from his targeton the floor andtowards her instead.
“No!You stay away from her you-” Thorcalled out to him, readyinghimself to jump up off the floor and intervene. Fearfulfor what his creation would do to his only daughter, he made to stopMoonjumper.
Buthewas too late, as his creation was right above his poor, defenselessdaughter. Thorfroze,as he saw Moonjumperleaningcloser to her and-
…huggedher?
“S-s-shhh…It’so…kay…”Moonjumper tried to soothe her, rubbing her back and holding hertighter.
Thorstood there, dumbfounded, as his creation begantocuddlehis daughter. And his daughter returned the affection, holdingMoonjumpercloserand crying into his metal body. Thorsimply watched, feeling a mix of dread, guilt, and confusion buildingup inside him.He was still afraid of what his creation was doing, andwhywouldn’t he be? But seeing his daughter cry like that…while hecreation was the only one calming her down. Well, that made him feellike he made a big mistake as father. But at the same time, why washis creation being so…nice? And emotional?
“I’m…I’mso s-sorry, Moony!” Hattie sobbed, hiccuping in between her words.“I d-didn’t…I just w-wanted to help-”
“I-i-it’salright…you…r fine…”Moonjumper kept on, starting to cradle Hattie in his arms. As Hattiewasn’t looking, he took a moment to glare at Thor. Pure hate was inhis eyes, with them slightly turning red before going back to yellow.
Thorfelt a deep jealously growing in his heart. Hewas supposed to be the one caring for his daughter. And instead, thisrobot was the one drying her tears and comforting her. It shouldn’teven have emotions! And yet…
Yet…
Therealization struck Thor. It didhave emotion. Actual, human emotion. Could it be? Did the “Core”piece really bring his creation to life? Tim had warned him about it,but it’s not like he believed in all that magical mumbo-jumbo atthe time. He’d just thought of it as a power source and nothingmore. But now, he finally realized the truth. And there wasirrefutable proof, right in front of him, to prove it.
“I…”Thor felt himself speak up, grabbing both Moonjumper’sand his daughter’s attention. “…I’mso sorry.” he tried to apologize, recalling all the things he hadsaid or done. Moonjumper gave him a skeptical look, but he kept on.“I had no clue that you were really alive. I just…thought thatyou were-”
“A-a-amind…less ma…chine?”Moonjumper frowned at Thor, still holding Hattie close to him. Thorfelt slight anger at that response, but it was true.
“Isthere any way thatyou can forgive me?” Thor asked, still feeling guilty. Thatis, until he realized his mistake. Once he uttered those words,Moonjumper and Hattie beamed at him with excitement. AlbeitMoonjumper’s smile was a bit more malicious that Hattie’s, whichThor quickly noticed.
“CanMoony stay with us then?!” Hattie said rather excitedly, hoppingup and down in Moonjumper’s grasp.
“Y-y-yes…S-s-stayhe…re?”Moonjumper added in malevolently,that devilish smirkstillon his face.
Thorfelt extremely reluctant, not liking the look on Moonjumper’s faceone bit.Butif it would really make his daughter happy…
“Alright,he can stay.” Thor gave in, letting out a defeated sigh.
Hattieand Moonjumper looked at each other in surprise and glee. AndHattie started to giggle, as Moonjumper lifted her off the ground andinto his arms. He spun around, making both him and Hattie laughwith childish glee.
“Hey!Be careful with her!” Thor fussed, still not trusting Moonjumperwithin an inch of his life. And Moonjumper did stop, with Hat Kidstill laughing in his arms.
“Again!Again!” she clapped her hands together. But, to Thor’s surprise,Moonjumper shook his head.
“N-n-no,no…H-h-have to…be care…ful!”Moonjumper told her, mocking Thor with his tone of voice.
“Awww…”Hattie faked her disappointment, snuggling back into Moonjumper. AndMoonjumper rested his head on top of hers, givingThor a smug look that Hattie didn’t even notice. But Thor did, andMoonjumper had wanted him to see it. Finally, little Hattie was allhis! Well…sort of, but he could work that out later. He chuckled tohimself, as Thor shook his head at them and turned to leave.Moonjumper pretended not to notice, sighing as he cuddled his Hattiewithout a care in the-
“Ihope you realize there are other robots living here! You’ll have toshare!” Thor called back, before he disappeared out of sight.Presumably back to his workshop. Moonjumper eyes snapped open insurprise.
“Ohyeah! You haven’t met Mu and Snatcher yet!” Hattie exclaimed, asMoonjumper had lifted his head up to look at her confusedly. Hestared at her for a few minutes, until a nervous grin spread acrosshis face.
“S-s-share?W-w-with fri…ends?”Moonjumper asked her, slightly cocking his head in question. AndHattie nodded at him.
“Mhm!I think you really like Snatcher! He’s really funny, like you!”Hattie smiled at him. Although Moonjumper was trying to figure out ifthat was a compliment or not. He was too busy trying to process allof this, anyways. Otherrobots? As is other robots he had to sharehis Hattie with? Moonjumper thought deeply about this, as Hattiesnuggled into him once more.
i mean i know you already saw this but i kinda just want to submit it here-
***
I DON’T CARE IF I’VE ALREADY SEEN IT, I STILL LOVE THE DESIGN!!!
For anybody else seeing this though, this is a design drawing for Hattie from my SteamPunk AU! And look at how adorable she is!!! I especially love the added gears and visor!!! She’s such a precious lil bean~
(And if you don’t mind, could this design be her canon design? Please?)
( deep breath) STEAMPUNK MOONJUMPER HEAD CANNONS IF YOU PLEASE! acutulay, any headcannons on steampunk au is good enough for me! - Silver ( also, super sorry I vanished on you. Me and my fam decided to watch the new jurrasuc park movie) ( But yeah, PLEASE ADD MORE KNTO THIS AU! PECK, I WILL PERSONALY DRAW THINGS FOR YOU IF YOU MAKE THIS AU A THING!!!!!)
YEAH!!! MORE STEAMPUNK AU HEADCANNONS!!! (Also no worries! I’m sorry for disappearing too, I was getting some much needed rest. But I might want to adopt this AU if nobody has already-)
(HCs are under the cut, because this might be pretty long ^^’)
So I’m thinking that the SteamPunk world is in a post-apocalyptic state? Basically, living standards could be a whole lot better for everyone on the planet. There’s probably pollution, steam-powered machines are taking over jobs, and basically you have to be an inventor to get by in life.
Decided to give Hat Kid a name for this AU! Her name is Hattie, and she’s hoping to become an inventor just like her father! Although her inventions tend to include a bit of magic, with her looking into time travel as well! (I’d like to think that the SteamPunk world dabbles with magic, making the robots more human-like)
Speaking of Hattie’s dad, I’m thinking Thor could be her father! Only this Thor is more overworked and less joyful (Aka- the complete opposite of AGIT Thor), due to the current state of the planet. And Tim can be like Hattie’s uncle/grandfather! Though Tim and Thor aren’t related, they’re still only friends.
So yeah, Thor made Moonjumper to try and help the struggling people on the planet. (And possibly get money for his idea so he can support his daughter) But perhaps Thor did a goof and accidentally used magic robot parts to bring Moonjumper to life? That also might be Tim’s fault, since Thor usually looks to him for help with parts.
Speaking of Moonjumper, I’d like to think he’s a bit more soft? By that I mean he’s way less evil than AGIT Moon, as far as his backstory goes. And he’s pretty much justified for his actions, considering that Thor tried to hide him away and Moon really doesn’t know how human morals work. But Hattie tries to help him with that! Before he nearly tries to turn her…
Moonjumper and Thor have a bit of a…rivalry, after Hattie frees Moon from the basement. And that’s putting it lightly. Thor doesn’t like Moon because he believes Moon is a faulty machine that will hurt his daughter, but keeps him around because he doesn’t want to make Hattie upset. And Moon hates Thor for obvious reasons, and wants to adopt Hattie for himself.
Snatcher also plays a part in this AU, as Hattie’s own invention! (She’s surprisingly good with mechanics for her age) And Snatcher is still very much acts and looks like himself. When Hattie gathered parts for him, she found an old magical robot piece, called a “Core”, and decided to use it. (Possibly using a magical ritual to bring Snatcher to life and give him his personality???) And I’d also like to think Hattie had an imaginary friend, and based most of Snatcher’s design off of that.
Snatcher kind of helped to “make himself”, by giving Hattie ideas with the design of his body. But this was in the earlier stages, when he didn’t even have a full body yet. (I’d like to think Snatcher was just a body-less core at the start, then just a head, until he fully was completed) This fact freaks people out, because they don’t expect a machine to have emotions or thought.
Thor, unfortunately, works for one of the three giant corporations on the planet, which is the Mafia. Only they don’t advertise that they’re a mafia, keeping it on the down low with Mafia Boss playing as the “honest businessman”. (Though rumor spreads fast, and basically everyone calls them the Mafia behind closed doors) I’d like to think the Mafia corporation is part of the reason that the planet is like it is, with Mafia Boss controlling the will of the people.
Another corporation, the one that Tim regrettably works for, is the Subcon Corp. And guess who it’s run by? You guessed it, the one and only Vanessa! Only this is human Vanessa, with her being an adult but still crazy and controlling. Vanessa experiments with the magical properties of making robots, but in all the wrong ways. For instance, one of the mistakes she made was trying to make a robotic clone of herself. She ends up making monster Vanessa, but she uses this to her advantage…
She also might have made Princebot? She found Princebot faulty and scrapped his parts once she deemed him useless. And then later Hattie finds one of Prince’s “Cores”, and uses it to make Snatcher! But if we’re going with the whole “magical ritual thing”, Snatcher might have amnesia and only have slight memories. But he finds out his past eventually…
As for the other “Core”? Remember when I said that Moon being the way he is might be Tim’s fault? Yeah, since Tim works for the Subcon Corp. he sometimes steals parts from there for Thor to try and use. Tim was the one that found the other “Core” many years later, and gave it to Thor when he asked for one. This leads to Moonjumper and Snatcher having some sort of weird “connection” with each other, which helps with Snatcher finding out more about his past.
Mu is also in this AU! Only not as a human, but as a robot! She was created by the Mafia as a “top secret” thief robot, so the Mafia could get away with heists from their rivaling companies. But Mafia Boss was stupid and decided that adding a “Core” would make Mu stronger. And it did…but it also gave her a personality. Once Mu saw that working for the Mafia was wrong she turned against them.
Mu tries to rebel by meddling with the Mafia business. She tries to destroy their factories, steal “Cores” (which are kind of like the Time Pieces of this world), and attempts to “free” all the robots working for the Mafia. This makes her a wanted enemy of the Mafia, with news reports and posters advertising her arrest. Hattie is the one who finds Mu and give her shelter from all the people trying to collect her reward. This leads to many arguments from Thor, until he decides to adopt Mu.
The last robot corporation would be the Nyakuza. And the Cruise is more of a joint factory that helps the corporations with the shipment of parts from the Cruise’s factories. Although the Captain mostly lends help to the Nyakuza Corp., due to Empress’ way of…persuasion. But he still helps the other corporations, because money is tough to get.
CC came from the Nyakuza Corp., working as the “secretary” for Empress. But CC gained a new dream and wanted to help the poor humans of the world by cooking for the poor. But when Empress said that was “ridiculous” and wouldn’t allow her because she worked “at the top”, CC made a plan to escape. CC changed her name and design frame afterwards, and ended up living with Hattie!
Hete we go! Okay, let's see....Steampunk and possessive! And so writing is a bit easyer, here a bit of personality! A creation that went wrong, MJ went insane being locked away because his creator felt embarrassed for making a failed creation. Then, MJ met the creator's daughter, Hat, and well...He does something very similar to moonbot from agit! - Silver ( have fun and pls give me one too!)
(I’m so sorry, I got carried away-) Anyways, on with the snippet!
A failed experiment. A. Failed. Experiment.
The words echoed through Moonjumper’s mind as he stayed there, locked up in the inventor’s basement. But he didn’t understand why. Why had he been locked away? Wasn’t he created to help humankind? To fix them and make their lives better?
Apparently not. Because after his inventor saw Moonjumper’s true nature, he decided it was too dangerous to keep a failed experiment around his workshop. Yet the inventor didn’t just tear him apart right then and there to use him for spare parts. No, no, no. He did something much worse.
The inventor locked Moonjumper away in the cellar, claiming that an “emotionless thing” wouldn’t mind the darkness and the quiet down below. But for a being made of only copper and steam engines, Moonjumper was surprising full of emotion. And the rush of emotions that he was feeling right now?
Sadness. Hurt. Loneliness.
Anger. Hate. Betrayal.
A sudden noise broken his train of thought though, as Moonjumper could hear the screeching of a metal door from up the staircase. He quickly turned his head towards the noise, his eyes emitting a bright golden light in the dark.
He saw a shadow coming slowly down the stairs. He felt the negative emotions rising up, his eyes turning from golden-yellow to a hateful red.
“W-w-who’s the…re?” Moonjumper hissed, his glitched and broken voice echoing off the walls. His voicebox wasn’t exactly “new”, nor could he use too many words at a time. Which made him sound very menacing, even without meaning to. He heard a small whimper after he spoke, and this seemed to amuse him.
“C-c-creator…sc…ared?” Moonjumper chuckled, his laughter sounding mad and unsettling. But as he saw a clearer view of the shadow…he realized it was much smaller. And shorter. The shadow came closer and closer, taking tiny steps to reach the bottom. And eventually the shadowy figure peaked out from behind the staircase, bathed in the light of Moonjumper’s eyes.
To his surprise, it was a small child.
Moonjumper blinked, his red light turning back to yellow. A child, wearing patch clothing, with a dusty old top hat to match, was standing right in front of him. He wasn’t sure if what he was seeing was a glitch in his visionary sensors, or real life. He ran a scan through his system, only to find that everything was working properly like it should be. Well…almost everything.
“N-n-not…crea…ter?” Moonjumper cocked his head at the small child in curiosity. The child stared back at him, before coming closer.
“Did daddy do this to you?” the child asked rather innocently, staring at the chained cuffs keeping Moonjumper to the wall. He blinked again, giving another scan before speaking again.
“C-c-child?…H-h-his…child?” Moonjumper asked her. And the child seemed surprised.
The child then turned her back to him, going over to a corner in the room. Moonjumper never let her leave his sight, literally. With his eyes shining through the darkness, it was almost like he was helping her find what she needed to. He watched her, with utter fascination, as the child would find a box or crate and bring it back to form a tower in front of him.
After doing this about three or four times, she stopped, and climbed up onto the crate tower. Now they were both face-to-face, with Moonjumper noticing the child trying to shield her vision from his glowing eyes.
She rummaged around in her pockets, bringing out an old key covered in rust. Moonjumper’s eyes seemed to glow a bit brighter in surprise, for he knew what that key was. He had seen his creator holding them, before he was locked away.
It was the key to his freedom.
“F-f-free…me?!” Moonjumper exclaimed, before the child promptly shushed him.
“Shhhhhh! Be quiet! Daddy will be mad if he knows I stole this!” she told him, bringing the key up to unlock the cuffs around his wrists. And Moonjumper stayed completely still, as she slowly unlocked both of them. With a thud, his old copper wheel hit the ground. He tested his balance and flexed his metal fingers, before looking back at the child.
“W-w-why fr…ee me?” Moonjumper asked her, genuinely confused as to why a child would do such a thing. But the child just gave him a patient smile in return.
“Because I wanted to be nice! And to be friends with you!” she said to him cheerfully. He merely stared at her, unblinking.
“F-f-friends?…” Moonjumper let the word drawl out of his mouth, like an unspoken phrase.
“Yeah! I’m Hattie!” the child leaned closer to him on the tower of crates, offering her hand. “Nice to meet-”
Suddenly, the tower began to rock and wobble. And before Hattie could cry out in surprised, the whole thing toppled over. The boxes and crates hit the floor, with her following after. Moonjumper flinched, as the poor child landed on the ground with a thud.
“Owie…” she groaned in pain, before trying to get up. She then sucked in air through her teeth, quickly holding her knee. She slowly removed her hand to reveal a couple scratches, from where the concrete floor scraped against her knee during impact.
Something inside of Moonjumper clicked, as his visual scanners went crazy. Every part of him inspected the cuts, diagnosing a treatment. But it was no professional or medical treatment. Instead, his programming was telling him to replace the knee with something more…sturdy.
Or better yet…why not replace the whole thing? Her body was so terribly fragile, being human and all. And a robotic body would be much more efficient! Not to mention, the image of a robo-child would be absolutely adorable and-
“H-hey, are you okay? New friend?” Hattie spoke up, unnerved that Moonjumper was just staring at her and not saying anything. Moonjumper finally blinked at her. His glowing eye color slowly turned from yellow, to blood-red.
Moonjumper smiled, reveling rusted and sharp teeth.
“Y-y-you…ne..ed fix…ing…” Moonjumper cooed, his voice smoother yet creepy. He rolled closer on his wheel until he was right above Hattie, who laying on the floor defenseless. He crouched over her, before grabbing her arm and violently lifting her up in the air. Hattie nearly screamed out, before he put his free hand over her mouth.
“D-d-don’t be…sca…red…” Moonjumper brought her closer to his gaze, beginning to hum an eerie lullaby and “purr” to comfort her. “I-I-I wi…ll fix…you…” he hugged her closer to him, his body freezing to the touch. Hattie whimpered, shivering in his deadly hold. “H-H-Hattie…stay wi…th me…”
(What is steamjumper gonna do with hat kid if his plan of getting rid of Thor is successful?)
He might turn her, he might not? Either way though, he would most certainly kidnap Hattie and take her to some place where they can “live together happily”! And maybe somewhere down the line he might think of convincing her to turn her into a robot. So they can always be together, with no one getting in the way!
That is...if Hattie can ever forgive him, and her friends don’t come looking for her.
Presenting, would all please put your hands together for-
STEAMJUMPER!
