#Carmen Sandiego (2019) imagine

[fedorah-the-explorah]

going off of the sheer amount of fanfiction i've read saying the contrary, I think this may be considered an unpopular opinion, but I firmly believe that player is like scary good at lying. I don't think he particularly likes lying, but he can, you know? like on the rare occasion that he has to, carmen will listen to him lie straight through his teeth like it's nothing and get really really concerned. because like. hello? where did you learn to do that? sir?

I don't know, watching s2e7 is so funny to me because this is the first time he's interacted with someone outside the team for a caper, and he immediately gets into the deception, fake accent and all. no hesitation. carmen switches the plan on him, and he's the one who has to relay that to gray while still maintaining the lie. and he does it! full confidence! and when graham pushes back, player pulls out the "haha yeah the crowds going crazy :)" and gets him to go along.

and hey! this plan was fucking ludicrous and stupid. I have such a love-hate relationship with this episode. it is everything to me. it's fucking idiotic. it's beautiful. it's a god damn joke. when the plan DOES eventually fall apart, that is not on player because buddy did his best with the silliest plan known to mankind. okay? he was ON it in this episode, I love it.

it's also the screening he did during the second act of the pilot. "strange people kept answering your phone!" and you kept calling?? did you have these silly goofy little lies already made? or were you just coming up with them on the fly?

or what about in season 4 when zack and ivy come to his school posing as exterminators? they can't agree on a lie and arrive at making up a new kind of insect, and player is so quick to back it up. the embodiment of "yes, and?" kid can roll with the punches, it's great.

like, there's a reason he and carmen are best friends. she was raised to be a thief and was pretty much born for their line of work, but player is kind of perfectly made for it as well. that's a guy who can continue a bit. his confidence with this stuff is both impressive and reckless, and it has GOT to keep carmen up at night. I love him.

Why is no one talking about how when bellum asked jean "how is our dear boy doing" he responded so casually with "El topos doing fine, why'd you ask?" And bellum was like "not your dear boy, stupid, I'm talking about crackle"

LIKE HE JUST CALLED HIM HIS DEAR BOY??? AND I SEE NO ONE TALKING ABOUT IT AT ALL??? how. Why.

I can't remember which episode exactly but it was one of the first few? I think? Maybe first ten eps something like that

(not the exact quotes ik I can't remember their exact words but it's something like that)

[fluffytheocelot]

honestly homophobic of netflix to remove the interactive with the julethief canon events in it

AND ON THE DAY CARMEN ESCAPES VILE NO LESS 😒

rip To Steal or Not To Steal. you had the entire fandom in a chokehold over that ending <3

[random-lil-illing]

someone should write a carmen sandiego fic where everything takes place as normal except for the fact that carmens mom is a part of team red from the start.

imagine her scolding carmen for her lack of self-preservation during missions because she doesn't want to lose her daughter again. her never making fun of, in fact actively encouraging, zack's hunger because it just means she gets to cook more and he always gushes about how good her food is. her listening to ivy talk about a new upgrade for red drone she's been wanting to install despite her not understanding anything the red head says. her making sure player is taking care of themself and assuring them that the world isn't going to end if they take a break, because they're just a kid. they're all just kids that need a team mother figure. she doesn't get her own orphanage like she does in the actual series, but who needs an orphanage when you've got dumbass globetrotter children right here?

her being awkward co-parents with shadowsan because while yeah, he didn't actually kill her husband, he was originally the one sent to get a hit on him and the one who burnt his house down + the one who brought her daughter to an island of isolated criminals. she understands he's changrd but she's still... iffy, around him.

i would write this fic myself if i had the time, skills and motivation. unfortunately i have none of them.

Sketch I did a while back ‘Zack’s snaps’

[skipppppy]

This has gotta be my favourite fucking promo piece for team red ever. Everyone gets new poses except Ivy who is literally just her key art edited so she’s holding a phone. Player on said phone doing that fucking “amity blight meme cartoon commentary youtuber” folded arm pose, barely visible. Shadowsan standing sideways hitting the dreamworks face straight on in an outfit he had for like 3 minutes in season 1 and never wore again. Zack voguing. Who made this

[carmenscarnations]

Imagine Carmen being introduced as the "debutante" of VILE at one of those large debutante balls.

Everyone has to know that this import/export company exists so having Carmen be the "heir" to VILE in a way...idk maybe I just want an excuse for fancy ballgown Carmen

[icanteleportnow]

still crazy to me that carmen was 16 when she was in VILE academy. like she should've been worrying about clothes and doing mildly illegal things behind her parents back, NOT evil vocational school 💀

[phopollo]

Now that I've finally figured out how to draw Julia, my blorbo, I had to draw Carulia/Jule Thief/whatever you want to call it

Carulia my beloved,,,,

[pawprintsonpavements]

Ok but listen up

How the BLOODY FUCK IS IT OVER IT CAMT BE

What was Carm's real name? Did player grow up and like join acme and did puberty hit cos I thought his voice changed in that last scene? Where are they putting all the vile operatives they capture, in jail? I mean these are criminal masterminds they'll break out at some point right???? Was Carmens mom a civilian? How did she and her dad meet? I hAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS GIVE ME FANFICTION IM GOING CRAZY I can't do this it can't be over help me-

Imagine Dash Haber getting you something for your birthday

Dash is a courier. An executive courier to be exact. Your executive courier to be more precise. He's only supposed to pick up the packages from the V.I.L.E. operatives after they have been "collected" and then deliver them to you. It's a job, one that he greatly enjoys, that comes with minimal risks. He doesn't have to go into museums or vaults and have to worry about dodging guards and tripping security measures. No, the only thing he has to do as a courier is to hand over the packages to you and take in your reaction. To bask in your joy as you admire the newest addition to your collection and preen under your compliments as you thank him for another job well done.

It's why he knows he has to get you something great for your birthday. A birthday he has been meticulously keeping track of on his device - though there was no way he could ever forget any detail about you. He's not worried about what to get you as he knows exactly what to get you: the Winter Fabergé egg.

It's a beauty, though it pales in comparison to yours. Frost seems to cover the egg, with an opaque white coloring on the outside surface. Ice crystal studded with diamonds and made from quartz, platinum, and orthoclase covers the exterior. As impressive as the outside is, it's the interior, the surprise, that seals the deal. Opening the clasp at the top reveals a miniature flower basket inside. A basket that is studded with diamonds and is made from platinum and gold, the wood anemones are made of white quartz, the leaves of demantoid, and the flowers lie in gold moss.

It's the perfect thing to get you as it would round off the nine you already have which is why it's the reason why he went to Qatar and infiltrated the Doha Royal Palace with Tigress, Mime Bomb, and Neal the Eel. He wanted to do something big for you - a grand gesture to show his devotion to pleasing you - which is why he decided to personally be a part of the retrieval process.

There were many instances during the infiltration when he regretted having come up with that idea and wished he had just stuck to his usual courier duties after being forced to endure Neal's puns and Tigress' yells at Mime Bomb. Though he had doubted it greatly during the mission, the egg had been secured with surprisingly no alarms raised.

And now days later on your birthday, he holds out the Fabergé egg to you with a bow, arms outstretched as he presents Winter. Dash hears you let out a sharp gasp and you take the egg into your own hands. He straightens up and a smile appears on his face as you trace the ice crystals with a finger before moving upwards and unclasping the top. Your breath hitches when you see the spring flowers. You trace one of the flower's petals and admire the demantoid center.

Setting the egg down on a nearby table, you take large strides to reach Dash. He straightens his posture, preparing himself for your praise but he's left shocked when you lean into him and press a kiss at the corner of his lip. Despite it being everything he had ever hoped for, he left frozen and has no clue what to do next. You move to whisper into his ear, "Thank you for the Fabergé," before leaving the room.

But maybe he doesn't regret the infiltration so much, he thinks, raising a hand to where you kissed him as his face flushes a bright red and gives a wistful sigh.

[fedorah-the-explorah]

thinking about how carmen told gray that she was taught by a revolving door of nannies. and it's like. what does that imply? nannies are typically hired to stick around for several years. did the faculty keep changing them up to culture her? did they change them up for security? were the nannies other vile operatives? did she keep running them off? was she just that much of a menace to society? imagine you're trying to run a top secret organization but your bitch child won't stop running off her nannies and you have to keep hiring more people to come to your super secret island. i support her.

Rainbow nighty-night hair dryer gas for pride month would go crazy

UR SOOO FUCKIN RIGHT im gettin agent brenda on this ASAP

[Image description : three drawings of characters from the 2019 show Carmen Sandiego, lined with black ink and colored with pencils. Carmen is wearing a striped shirt with the colors of the original Gilbert Baker flag, and she and Player are draped with a large transgender flag. They are looking at each other and smiling. Julia, her hands in her pants' pockets, wears a brown leather jacket and a horizontally-striped shirt the colors of the lesbian flag. She is looking at the viewer and smiling. Devineaux, his hands on his hips in a proud posture, wears a vintage-styled jacket in the colors of the transgender flag. /End description]

To cap off this pride month, a few of my queer headcanons for Carmen Sandiego (2019) characters!

I headcanon Player as a trans boy and Carmen as a trans woman! I also definitely think Carmen's sapphic but I don't have a more specific identity in mind for her.

Julia is a lesbian ofc. Her shirt is inspired by this retro lesbian shirt! If I had seen it before inking I would have made it an actual shirt with a collar and all but alas I saw it too late.

And I headcanon Devineaux as a trans man. His jacket was heavily based on this vintage jacket, obviously with the colors reworked. That's his new lucky coat probably.

(I have headcanons for other characters but since they're less fixed I won't talk about them here)

Omg imagine Zack needs surgery and goes under anesthesia and when he wakes up he’s still a little loopy and his gf or just partner (reader) comes to take him back to HQ and he’s like “Omg I get to go home with this pretty lady?” and she’s taking care of him and talking to Ivy about how he wants to ask out the cute nurse who’s taking care of him at home.

warnings: slight mentions of medicine and being under the influence (bc of the medicine)

hmggg imagine him waking up and not totally knowing where he is or who you are, but he feels safe nonetheless.

"woah..." he sighs with his face stuffed with cotton and numbing medicine.

"hi babe," you whisper softly. "how are you feeling?"

his nose crinkles juuuuuust slightly as he gives you the best smirk he can manage.

"betta' now that you're here." he'll laugh to himself at his smooth flirting, glad he could come up with that on the spot. it was a loud laugh however, and everyone is now giggling at his current state.

"good one." carmen praises out loud, but somehow zack misses it. he decides to keep staring at you, instead.

you sit next to him on the ride back to HQ, keeping an eye on him for his own safety (and for any goofy moments to tell him later). all the while he's pestering ivy, in the passenger seat, about why the nurse is coming back home with him? is his condition that bad, ivy? does the cute nurse like cars and pizza too?

Carmen Sandiego Dæmon AU???

(For those unfamiliar: dæmons are creatures created by Phillip Pullman, the TL;DR is they are a part of a persons soul and they manifest as an animal that fits that person 👍, dæmons can touch each other just fine but another person touching your dæmon is taboo 😳)

(I have ideas for most of the other characters and hopefully I will be able to show these ideas, but for now this is all I’ve got ��)

Here is the very incomplete list I have, (names are in brackets)((I know I forgot Player, I am so sorry))

(((Big thanks to @mavratt for helping me with animal ideas 🙏🙏🙏)))
