"What Are You?"

THIS IS ADORABLE!!!!!

So I was drawing Red being a little kid along side Rubert and I thought "Hey what if i made a silly au were they are little kids and siblings?" And then I remember how I fell down a rabbit hole for dad Mango content so–

Mango becomes Papa luchon! >:]

(And Gold is alive too and Purple is Mango adopted child)

idk how Red found Rubert cause Minecraft doesn't really exits but he's here! Let's say they live in stickcity with a few changes

I'm gonna keep some of my hc's of the sticks in the au but they're siblings here so NO shipping, also they're like 8 so– no

In conclusion, just a silly au with family fluff like, there's no big angsty lore behind it ;)

And you know, if you had a little question then you can– you can ask -twirl hair-

*hastily starts doodling after watching the new short*

I'm gonna call the villager Chef in my drawings but the temptation to dub them Gordon Ramsay was immeasurable

I love Tumblr it's so broken LOL

In defense of Victim: a character analysis

OK before I start

Yeah, I know. I'm a hypocrite lol but, hear me out here.

After really analysing everything Victim has done...I can't say they're actually that bad anymore. Their actions seem extreme but they're actually kind of justified.

First of all, let's look at what most the fandom hates them for. The fight with The Chosen One in The Box. It's hard to watch and they certainly went all out, but it's not like Chosen isn't a dangerous character. He was a villian himself after all.

Chosen and Dark's actions likely led to many sticks losing their homes on websites and getting hurt in the crossfire, even if he was trying to free them. At worst, these actions were deliberate, at least on Dark's part. And how would Victim know if Chosen actually wanted to do this?

And I wouldn't be surprised if Victim knows.

In episode 30 of avm, King sees the first Animation vs Minecraft on a rocket corp TV

And Second sees the first Animator vs Animation during Animation vs YouTube (maybe that's why he recognises them? Theory for another day)

So is it that much of a stretch to say that Victim is somewhat aware of Chosen's past? Especially since they have some kind of access to YouTube.

Obviously this is a bit of a stretch, if Victim had seen Animator Vs Animation V they wouldn't have needed to use the memory reader on Chosen. But they must have known something about him to know that he has a connection with Alan, so it's possible.

On a similar note, they treat Second very differently. Sure, he's a less powerful stick in their eyes so they don't pay much attention to him, but he's still treated with respect.

First of all, he's left unpaused in his cell, despite the fact they already had him paused, they chose to let him at least some freedom by undoing it.

Also, when he was put in a box, it was a lot less violent.

Even when they were testing his powers the employees just...asked him. It was not forceful in any way and no one laid a finger on him.

Even when he was captured they were being easy on him

Agent Smith had second selected,he could have done anything, but all he did was spin then kick him and pause him immediately after. He was hitting him as little as possible, just trying to end the fight.

Then there's the last scene if The Box, probably the most unjustified part. But, here's the thing, Victim only has bad memories of Alan. He hurt and then tried to kill them. I think they believe Yellow is some kind of conspirator with Alan, maybe a lackey of sorts? Whatever they think, I wouldn't be surprised if this is some kind of misunderstanding. They may even be sympathetic towards Dark after seeing him be attacked by the cursor too.

Obviously this doesn't mean they're in the right. They're really not. But their actions have some kind of justice about them, and I don't think they're trying to be evil, so they actually have a good chance of being redeemed. And I can understand them now, so I at least don't hate them anymore.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I'll go back to fanart now (this was super out of my comfort zone and not the best explanation but I just wanted to say it).

TSC (my design)

Ta-daaaaa! I finally got out of art block, so I'm finalising my colour gang designs + my sticksona before making an intro post

Headcannons below cut

HEADCANNONS (TSC edition)

Their first name is Second and most people call them that, but their friends call them Orange

All the rest of colour gang had matching jackets, so Alan drew Orange his own one

They don't know basic life skills like tying shoelaces, so they only wear velcro trainers (me too buddy, me too)

They aren't aware of their powers, but he does get drawing skills/super strength from them, especially when fighting

He has autism (that's barely a headcannon at this point, have you seen those guys stim?)

They look up to TCO, but that's because they don't know about the whole website destroying thing

He is seventeen and the oldest of the colour gang

YOOO WHAT

CHOSEN AND DARK CANON FACES FINALLY???? JUMPS UP AND DOWN

TCO

I don't want to scream about them but I still like them, and they need to be protected from canon

King posting again ✨

NEW ACTUAL SHORT! NEW ACTUAL SHORT!

And it's about red, my favourite stick boi

AND IT'S SO CUUUTTEEE (...kinda)
