POV: you try the "We're not so different you and I" line.

So glad everyone agrees that if the siblings ever did return they'd be very interested in the dark eco powers Jak has and try to mess with his head. Too bad Jak follows the law of throw hands first, ask questions later.

Kaaj jumpscare. Keira will not tolerate any tomfoolery.

[elise-the-blind]

say sike right now

no but fr, neither Maia or Gol would be able to recognize Jak at all if they returned seriously its like going to the family reunion and finding out the kid you meet as a toddler is now a 6ft gang leader they would be in no way prepared for the violent ass beating that is heading in their general direction.

[elise-the-blind]

Do you think Jak and Keira moms would have gotten along with each other or approved of their kids relationship/ marriage?

Its fine. He's fine

I like to think both mums would get along well enough. A "black cat and golden retriever" type dynamic, at least with the versions I've drawn.

Jak's ma is alot more hype about the couple, super supportive and happy for her boy

Keira's mother goes full scary momma bear mode, but its just an act. Maybe not at first.

[elise-the-blind]

Took a crack at trying to figure out what characters mothers might look like, tbh none of these are super good but I'm doing something which is taking god long and I needed a break.

I read a fanfic a while back that wrote Jak's ma as this badass pirate who's out adventuring the world and I thought mmm yes this is cannon now -yoink-

I think the author described her as this really tall beef of a woman, but I figure Jak has to get his short genes from somewhere.

Also allow me to indulge for a second, but my personal goofy story headcanon is that Jak and Ashelin's ma knew each other. When Praxis took the palace, Jak's mother died and Ashelin's ma is the one that takes Jak out of the building to hide in the city. Depending on how you wanna guess what sorta character she was, either she was so horrified by her husbands actions, she leaves the city never to be seen again, OR she goes back to get her daughter and she's killed in crossfire

Made an attempt to figure out Keira's ma as well, but its probably the one I couldn't really figure out. Just this hardass metal and rock focused sage that's meant to lead into Keira's love of mechanics but that might be a stretch.

So the thing I'm doing that's taking so long meant I had to draw Boggy Billy and the amount of side eye I've been giving this lad. like, there's NO WAY that this is the case but i swear to god its Naughty Dogs fault for being so loosey goosey with who gets both or any parents seriously why does noone but Sig have a mum in this game series. WHO AT NAUGHTY DOG HAD MUMMY ISSUES??

Heartbreak guac

this is out of context enough to still be spoiler free, but seriously what are you doing go see the movie

next sonic related post wont be so merciful

[elise-the-blind]

god dammit the movie has influenced me far too much

making an actual script for this bad boy reminds me how writing turns my brain liquid. now i gotta give my AU a name and ive run out of injokes I'm screwed.

also you ever think if any of the people experimented on with dark eco turned into precursors, but both Praxis and Skyheed were like "huh, they turned into rats, welp that's a failure, into the blender"

little something to think about

[elise-the-blind]

Surprise, my AU has its own custom villain.

His name is literally just a joke I had with my friend when I was making him. I had to call him something and I kept on seeing this dude as a reverse Jak, so, Kaaj. get it?

Kaaj is one of the escapees of the dark eco experiments, I'm really just writing him to be a 'what if' version of Jak that didnt have a Daxter to save him. kid is all anger issues and no emotional anchors.

I got really inspired by Puss in Boots TLW having a variety of villains, so screw it we got a whole cheese board of bad guys to try, don't be shy, we got our tragic dude who will hopefully see the light, a complete obsessive psycho who think he's doing the right thing, and true evil straight from the dark depths.

That last one I wont make posts about now, id rather keep that in the dark. That's meant to be the end game boss that everything leads up to, and its gonna be big. I wont confirm if anyone gets it in comments, but it'll be funny no matter what you guess.

homedog will never catch a break

Happy holidays gremlins

lotta jakndaxter au garbage coming this way soon but gotta eat diner before we have desert

[elise-the-blind]

so yeah, pretty good movie, 8/10 would recommend

[elise-the-blind]

please excuse me as I disappear from the web for a few hours, no spoiler boiler I'm going out the window kachow

Also yes obligatory oc funny, its reasonable to assume that any fandom I'm apart of will eventually cause a character to spawn in, i gotta get better at leaving the lights on fml. little boi doesn't have name yet, just a robot that Big found damaged in the woods and now he big chilling, magnet fishing to clean lakes.

anyway, I'm gonna go cheer at a child getting shot (not irl) later skaters.

[elise-the-blind]

One last goof of this rewrite AU before I disappear for a bit for moving day.

That other guy is meant to be Ruskin, but his design is something I haven't figured out yet. This was gonna have a bit more to it where Jak is the one to introduce the others to Skyheed, and only then does he acknowledge them. The way he see's it, Jak is the only one who can get him towards his goal, the others don't really matter enough to be acknowledged and the kindness he offers them is just to get on Jak's good side.

what a silly little guy who doesn't go against the Geneva Conventions

Eco's acting the same way, and the whole mechanic of changing dark eco into different colours is a thing, but doing so requires a physical tool that needs to be carried around. Basically you gotta make the choice if you wanna save up for a dark side change or use a certain eco power.

anyway, the feds are knocking on my door now so i gotta bounce outta here, see ya'll again in a few weeks

[elise-the-blind]

Ayo is that a fucking cat, thats a weird looking fucking cat, BLINK MOTHERFUCKER

this bastard has no sense of personal space and will make everyone uncomfortable by just existing

im slowly giving him crazy scientist in essence of Baron Draxum but make no mistake, barry would not be amused by any of it

also im gonna bring this up, and its not something i think is true at all, i did like one google search just in case, but anyone think theres any chance, at least in early development, that Skyheed and Phoenix were meant to be related. again, i really doubt it, but it feels like something about their interactions is missing and i need to stop the hatmans getting closer

[elise-the-blind]

THEY'RE GONNA DO IT

THEY'RE GONNA LET HIM PISS ON THE MOON HOLY SH

[elise-the-blind]

I just wanna put them in tupperware i can violently shake

[elise-the-blind]

Almost drew Jak and Keira in this format but gotta give this to the ottsel duo, havent had the chance to draw Tess yet.

[elise-the-blind]

So do you have any more sketch ideas on showing how Jak and Keira relationship just works despite their near fallout in J2

Legitimate thing that crosses my mind a lot. Like, not gonna ignore that Keira was straight up flirting with the guy who tortured Jak, real wack tbh. They seemingly do go for each other at the end of each game (aside from the Ashelin fling in the 3rd game) so I'm writing them as married cause it makes sense in my mind at this point. Part of me is still bothered tho, obviously, with the way their relationship kept suffering up till Jak X. Some talk had to have gone down somewhere in that timeline, and I'm not entirely sure what that would have been like, but I'd really like to let my au versions have that at least. I might focus on that now while I do some plot figure-out for the au because the eco problem in TLF was dumb. I'm more open to suggestions of how people think this would go down, cause seriously this shit is messy.

[elise-the-blind]

this is what happens when you girlboss too hard Phoenix, talk shit get hit.

Just to be clear, eco is still disappearing/acting wacky in this AU, only dark eco is being unaffected-light eco suffering the most. Jack is perfectly capable of using dark eco.

The pirates end up shooting the plane down. Im not a huge fan of it being Daxters fault, hes a bit of a doofus but not an idiot, and with Jak being able to get the upper hand theres no reason for him to do anything rash.

Phoenix is now stuck trying to figure out if that random pilot he started a fight with is one of the prisoners he dealt with in the past or a new experiment that escaped. Meanwhile Jak is just "god damn brat, i've fought gods and im still having to deal these morons fml"
