I Decided To Finally Color And Post This Thing I Made A Few Months Ago Since We're Getting Close To BATDR's

I decided to finally color and post this thing I made a few months ago since we're getting close to BATDR's anniversary.

Consider this a fun concept based on a few things at the very least,or a Headcanon Based On Nothing At All at most. The "basis" for this comes from the fact that the Keepers' body and head are some kind of suit, with the zipper and "lens" being the most notable details of this. Which I found interesting.

Now,could the fact that they look like suits just be a side effect of them being offshots of the Machine? Yeah,yes it could. At the end of the day,the fact that they look like that can only be summed up as "they were created that way". Wilson just accidentally created cool-looking OCs. I doubt we'll get any kind of lore drop for the Keepers in the future beyond what we already know about them (but I could always be wrong).

The moment of inspiration that led me to do these sketches was when I was reading FTB and I was thinking about Gent and their experiments for a bit. The Keepers ended up getting into those thoughts at some point,which resulted in me doing… this!

So,yeah,what if the Keepers, before the Dark Revival,were old GENT containment suits?

Essentially,in my head,when JDS closed its doors,Gent continued the ink experiments in its own workshop,and the suits above were worn by the company's scientists while conducting some of these experiments. While we don't know what else the guys at Gent were doing beyond what we saw in BATDR and FTB,I don't think it's far-fetched to say that not even their scientists would want to touch the damned ink,which,as we know,is best kept away from. So,the suits are used.

In 1952,the workshop was condemned and closed. Eventually,the location and by extension - the technologies,the experiments and things like the suits - ended up in the Ink Realm. Fast forward to 72/73,the whole thing about Wilson finding out and taking control of the Cycle happens. When it came to creating his own "guards" to help with his plans in the Cycle,I guess he just. Took stuff from the Gent workshop like the suits and other stuff like gears and pipes,threw it all through the Ink Machine and uhhhhhhh,boom,the Keepers are created.

Again,I wouldn't take this as a serious theory/speculation,and as said,more as ideas and concepts based on so little that I decided to put on paper. (Might as well consider all of this potential AU stuff)

Additional stuff:

- I didn't make the outlines and the helmet's lens glow in the first 2 sketches because I realized that it wouldn't make much sense in the suits? The Keepers,sure,make sense,but for the suits themselves? Not so much. So I left them "switched off",with the exception of the third sketch,done at the time when I hadn't thought about this detail any further.

- The idea for the fourth sketch,the gas mask,came to me while looking at reference images of real-life hazmat suits. I thought it might be intriguing to have Gent scientists wear these masks under their suits,so I sketched it out to get a better idea. The mask itself was based on one of the scrapped Keeper designs, the ones that had the more "alien" feel to them. I don't know if it would fit inside the Keeper suit,but it's still something I wanted to consider.

I also like this whole concept of the suits for two other reasons. First, it gives the Keepers an origin that predates Wilson and the Dark Revival. Second, reusing old Gent suits to create his own guards isn't that far-fetched for a man whose entire rise to power within the studio and plan to overthrow the Ink Demon has depended on the work (and existence) of others to come to fruition. So that wouldn't be so absurd.

Also,here's 2 bonus sketches. The second one has nothing to do with what I've said so far, it's just something I was playing around with at the time.

EVERYONE!!!!!

RUIN IS GAY CANON REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meet Messengerverse!Error!! He's kinda goofy :) -He doesn't really have a name, but he will answer to anything he can even Vaguely associate with himself. He most readily answers to Shrike, or The Butcher Bird though.

-He hates touching the ground, outright refusing to if he has the chance. [He's even crashed from unplanned landings before, he got up & flew away soon after though, similar to a stunned bird :)]

-He loves Outertale still, but not for all the same reasons. He still thinks it's one of the most peaceful AUs, but he also enjoys how little it feels like standing on the ground. Sitting around the flouting meteors of Outertale, it hardly feels like he's on the ground at all.

-He doesn't actually fly using his wings, but instead a type of magic that his wings help with. He still looks a bit goofy in the air though.

-His coat is big and would drag across the floor if he actually stood on it, he thinks it's fine though, because he doesn't plan on getting close enough for it to be a problem.

-His eyes are worse than even canon Error's, he can barely see three feet in front of his face, and he constantly has to wear his glasses. If he lost them well. . . Goofy stuff can happen haha.

-His wings are based on both Northern Jacana and Shrike, though more Northern Jacana, both for color and the spurs. These birds actually have spires!! It's fun :)

oh boy SAMS au time baby

This au is a silly idea my gf and i had while thinking ab the recent eps and how Eclipse has become a sad wet cat...

so instead of him being a wet cat, we gave him a wet cat! Her name is Newton shes a silly cat (with two tails) that is actually the star!

(Recent SAMS spoilers under cut!)

This au takes place fairly recently, perhaps a few weeks back where Sun really put Eclipse in his place, alongside Moon. This au, sadly, takes place after Bloodmoon and Lunar died, as well as Moon, since all of those happened in canon before Eclipse actually got his hands on the star. But; Lunar is still being rebuilt in this au, and Eclipse has no clue its happening, because he isn't fully merged with the star power due to Newton existing.

Imagine hes like golden freddy but different; retired bad guy that goes to a bunch of therapy and lives in a very remote area with a weapon of mass destruction and a "roommate"/alarm clock in his head (Solar Flare)

Watch out for him on tuesdays though (he has murderous tendencies)

crazy how fanfic authors drop the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces of work ever, leaving you speechless and sobbing at three in the morning as you quietly contemplate the masterpiece you just read

and they don’t get paid for it they just do it because they’re having fun and they want to share their joy with you

like I would literally die for all of you fanfic authors out there reblog to swear your allegiance to fanfic authors
