Might as well start posting my fanfiction here, too. This was originally intended just for @a-not-so-sure-artist, but I liked it too much not to share with more folks.

Some context! It's based on Sock.clip's Miscellaneous Multiverse Murder Mystery "AU" with twelve characters pulled from her various stories (full lineup on her Instagram here) getting tangled up in a murder mystery, while on a train. She apparently envisioned it as a game, where one of the characters got randomised as a killer, with the hypothetical player, the thirteenth person, having to figure out who it is, as every hour one other passenger was murdered.

She even made a full-blown animation (YouTube link, Newgrounds link), showing how a scene from this game would have probably played out. The ending made me really sad. A contribution from the aforementioned friend of mine made me even sadder! So I decided to write out a better turn of events for our boy Julian. He deserves the world. And, perhaps, a friend or two. :-)

Now that you're up to speed, here's the link to the fic. Hope you enjoy!

no this is not included in the cringetober list despite being done in ms paint but anyway- Funny story It was a mere coincidence to see the uncanny similarities between Mortimus (right) and current Nitty Gritty (left). Like right after I redesigned Morty months ago, I had this nagging feeling that the way I conceptualized him felt awfully familiar than usual and I WAS RIGHT.

Ever since then I have never felt more than shock over another mere coincidence happening lolol this shit's been rotating in my mind for a while until I finally, like, gathered enough courage to make ridiculous art of these two, and I chose style swap.

Mortimus was just a funny gijinka design turned to original character with a fleshed out backstory that best correlates to his dex description.
