(post not friendly for mobile users)
Welcome to the info drop UvU (unfinished artwork lol) Its order has been flipped due to the info being long and some people just want the au info in general, so for those who really want to read it efficiently: Phantom Funhouse Main 3 Background info Story Progression
For those who won't read the long thing, here's netflix type summary ig:
Sam, Max and Darla were normally enjoying the arcade the boys worked at until…Darla starts to wonder the mystery behind the ghostly arcade machine. As they dig deeper into Phantom's Funhouse, what will they find? will they ever be the same?
STORY PROGRESSION
Geek became very curious about the Phantom Arcade machine and started an investigation into it. She asks Sam and Max to help her with it, at first, they kept denying her because of the fearing of losing their job. Max also got curious too, so Sam didn’t have a choice but to agree. It started out with them hearing a bit of information about it, to getting too actual play the game at the right time and then Halloween is where they got to play it. They found it remarkable and the most fun they ever had. None of them have ever heard of the game and that’s where it all made it sense. Yeah, arcades where very popular back then, but why would this amusement arcade be THIS popular. They all wanted to know more, they’ve tried searching the game, any game similar to its format or appeal but nothing. Geek began to suspect the boss is hiding something or there is some evil motive to this addictive game. Sam and Max said they’ll start snooping around for her (mostly Max tho, small fast lol-). Max accidentally slept at work and was stuck in the mall, so he called Sam to come get him. They both got stuck there lol. At the same time, they were trying to figure out a way out, Phantom was there. They stayed hidden to not get in trouble. Phantom was chatting with Daniel about stuff they’ve never heard before, they were confused asf they started to think they’re from a different planet. Phantom told Daniel that he’ll see him at home then went into his office. As they saw him walked off, a bright light came from the office and the boys couldn’t hear Phantom anymore. Sam went to check inside, and he was gone. Both were so freaking confused and left as fast as they could out of the mall (Daniel was their way out lol). The next time they saw Geek they were frantically trying to tell her everything they see the other night; she was also confused.
When the boys had their break, them and Geek rushed to question Daniel. Daniel wasn’t budging even when they threaten to send the deranged lagomorph on him. Max was accusing him and his dad to be aliens, Dan couldn’t help but laugh, and Max was about to jump this man. Sam stopped him and asked where does him and his father live, Daniel told them freely, but he slipped up. After they search the address and no result was found, he was either lying but he said it which such confidence they began to start questioning what was really going on in that arcade. With more snooping they finally caught Phantom in the act of time travelling back home. Max busted in the room like HA WE CAUGHT YOU PUNK, Sam and Geek facepalming themselves-. It startled Phantom which caused him to press something he shouldn’t have in the elevator. It was off its safe procedure which prevents from causing a similar explosion which killed Phantom. Phantom shouted at them to get out, he couldn’t stop the explosion. Geek heard him over the electricity and sparks going on and told the boys they should get out of here. They were already on that lol-. They couldn’t make it all the way out, so the explosion got them. Daniel heard it and was trying to play it off as a little problem with electricity and made everyone get out of the arcade. Once they woke up, they were phantoms themselves. Sam was panicking, Geek panicking in silence wondering how the hell does this work and it took a while for Max to realize. When he did, he panicked a bit then was like this is cool. They all thought they were dead, but Daniel explained to them that they’re not. (They basically became Danny phantom pfft-). They couldn’t go home looking like horror movie ghost so when Phantom returned, he taught them how to turn back.
Phantom made a deal with them if they kept this a secret, he would teach them everything on how to live life as a phantom now. As much as Max would spill so much, they all agreed to the deal. In the end, Sam and Max worked at the Arcade until Phantom taught them everything. Geek had to move; she had all the training though; then everyone went their separate ways.
(the universe plays out with how they are now, expect Darla is an adult working with Mama Bosco and Sam & Max dealt with cases easier due to their Phantom powers~.)
MAIN 3 BACKGROUND INFO
Darla met the boys was because of Sam. So how geek met them is like, Sam was fixing one of the arcade machines and Darla noticed it and came up to him to say he’s doing something wrong. He doesn’t like kids trying to be smarter than him or a smart a$$. So, Sam was not having it with listening to a kid, so like he jokingly made geek do it herself and she fixed it no problem. Sam was a bit speechless and had to admit she was smart. He asked for her name, and everything pretty much went great after that. She also made one of the games there. Sam asked her to come again so he can introduce her to Max and boom friendship lol-. Max and Darla clicked due to their love for novels and a videogame they both love (respectfully for different reasons lol). Sam and Darla with smart banter, her and Max with childish/literacy banter.
Sam accidentally fell for Max with how affectionate he is. Max is obviously to this, and Sam doesn’t really want him to know anyway because he’s his childhood best friend. Unfortunately, it’s kind of useless due to his unexplained hatred for Max’s favourite game. Max has a crush on the main character/character you play in the game Dogman Adventures (made up game lol). It basically a buff, shirt-less, gun-shotting German shepherd and boy oh boy how Sam is jealous pfft-. Darla noticed and now teases Sam about it which he hates but he can’t hurt a kid on the job.
The nickname Geek is pretty self-explanatory. Sam only calls Darla Geek or The Geek while Max calls her by her actual name and The Geek as a form of teasing.
They can only hangout at the mall and arcade because no mother is leaving their young daughter alone with older teenage boys. No matter how “harmless” they are (lol) or smart how Geek is, her mother isn’t ok with it. Their personality is kind of the same ig lol
Nerd Sam, very talkative, will mostly be seen with a cap (sam and hats bro) he has a little sister (cartoon show ref), optimistic, hardworking only chaos driven because of Max, DND player def and tries to make max not get fired.
"Badboy" Max, talkative, cocky to taller younger kids, can be seen with heart glasses any color, doesnt mind working there but cant take it seriously, loves dogman with a passion pfft- and loves Fantasy novels.
The Geek Darla, doesnt talk as much as the boys or cant get a chance to-, Basically the 😒 face lol- seems more cheerier because of the boys, very intelligent high vocabulary, loves tech has pouch with little gadgets she's made and loves mystery novels.
PHANTOM FUNHOUSE
Phantom Funhouse is the amusement arcade where Sam and Max works at, with the afternoon shift because they’re still in school. From 3:45-6:00pm on Wednesdays to Fridays they come to work. It's in a mall, near the boys’ school, they gotta rush home to get ready lol.
Phantom or G. Navarro is the owner and boss of Phantoms Funhouse and is the whole mystery behind the place. Phantom died while experiencing with time travel in the future, but due to the blast he became a phantom or semi-permeable-. The reason he started an arcade in the past/80s-90s was for nostalgia and to give the kids a new experience with games. He missed the old days and he always loved arcades. He hired the boys because they seem very social, Sam’s smartness and kids around kids seemed sensible right. He time travels with something simliar to the Elevator from the games (Remember the mariachi band?). His son Daniel is basically the boss because his dad only shows up when it’s phantom arcade time lol-. He is not a ghost like his father.
There’s a phantom arcade machine which is the place attention grabber or sales point. An arcade game from the future. It’s there but it’s not real, well not yet. Phantom only puts it out at random times of the year or in VIP for Halloween. When you play it, you’re not allowed to give details on the game, just tell your experience, time playing and loving it. This makes people more curious and excited for a chance to play it, so they keep coming back.
Alright the kitty questions are done 
Time to get serious!
How were you guys not captured yet?  I  imagine Flint. had a lot of enemies in the navy and hearing how he’s now dead would jump at the opportunity to finally destroy his crew and ship 
(he doesnt like talking about it, because he starts talking about sam which makes it worse)
Hey what’s that behind your back?
Sharkface: Well.. for the tail, there are other anthro animals and somehow a rabbit and shark got down??? And here I am-, never meet my parents tho I suppose I was abandoned somewhere...
(Most of his life has been on the ship, he cares for everyone even if he doesnt like you very much, your crew)
So have you encountered any other pirate ships that tried to take yours over?
So what’s your favorite port to go to?
(head canon: he knows some Spanish lol)
Now
Let’s begin 
( clears throat )
HEY pirate boys! why did you become pirates?( sam and max )
( now for the creator )
Can we take a physical form?
You do realizes I got draw these right ;-;, it alright tho Sharkface will be answering for now because Sam is hard to draw-
For the physical form thing, ill think about it
Any of them ask blogs?
Well I could for the Pirate one or The unannounced one. If I were to do it for the unannounced one, it would be a great way to present it lol. But alot of people like the Pirate one so-
Not really a request or an ask, but I like to think that Sam loves glitter but Max hates the stuff because he thinks it’s the devil’s dandruff.
Sam, in a sparkly sequins dress: last time I was this bright you had set me on fire
Max, holding a vacuum twice his size: yeah that great Sam, just make sure not to move ever again. I can’t have all that *shivers* glitter stuck in my paws
Aight- this brightens my soul a nice way✨ lol. Thanks for little scenario too <3
Since I'm loving this quick sketching I'm doing, here's a little doodle~
Every night Sam wakes up next to Max biting his arm even though Max literally sleeps in the treasure room
Sam: Where did you get this lemon from?
Max: Neil Cicierega
Sam: I admire your dedication to eating me, little buddy
Omg you actually read the lore <3
Now I'm wondering if Sharkface sleeps💀or he only does this when there's no food lol-
Sam is looking like a whole snack right no wonder Max wanna eat him/j- LMAO- Bro doesnt know whether he should feel embarrassed or scared that he got caught again.
Max grabbed his hand to bite it as usual but Sam was awake so he just fixed himself in a disappointed position. Max didn't know Sam slept shirtless-
On one hand I feel like Max would love the violent life of a pirate, but on the other I feel like he would immediately start eating Sam as soon as there's even a CHANCE of them not having enough food
LMAO- Honestly who wouldn't love the free life of a pirate Bro lowkey stays where all the treasure is
Ok the eating Sam part is the funniest thing to me
Pirate Sam and Max done my way
My way or the highway pfft-
The testing designs and what not- Sam- Captain Wolfhound Max- Shark Face
Some lore down here:
They were apart of Captain Flintlock's(Flint Paper) Crew. He had unfortunately died due to a rough battle with his enemies, most of the crew was injured. (thats why max has scars)
They had to find a new captain, which they didn't want to do of course, they decided to vote among them self because they didn't want some random guy they dont know that much about to lead them. lol. Sam got chose and had to earn the crew's respect. Which he did over time. Everyone started to call him Captain Wolfhound, he liked due it being a nice nod to his dog breed. The strongest crew member, he could break your arm but since he has a no blood on his hands code you will most likely die by something he did to kill you. Gets along with everyone on board, the respect is really bro-
Max is his right hand man and didn't earn it from just being his friend, The role is important and can't just be offered freely. He is the second strongest to Sam and is not fond or friends with everyone in the crew. One very bad impression is enough for him to not to trust you. Only Max can call Captain Wolfhound by his real name, but he still shows respect by saying Captain Sam. He still called lil buddy and Sam also calls him his best Mate. Max sleeps in the treasure room basically a guard dog.
The crew's name is The Black Steel crew, named after Flintlock's boat. They maybe have changed the flag a bit but carry on in the name of their old dear captain. <3
