#insanity from my fixation

[sivon-acidwyrm-collections]

Who's having a "new" fixation? Who's returning to an old fixation thanks to a bestie of mine? Who's fixating again on a violent media that's 22 years old?

It's me. And it's Madness Combat.

I'm wayyy too excited to show this to the internet, since the first time I did show the AU was in 2021 and.... you could say it was lacking in many details. I may have forgotten to add some information, but they're the least important things so here's all of those things in one post!

Ever wondered how much I've changed this AU after almost three years? It's a LOT of things. First of all, I made them from "Wyrms" into zilogytes, a cobra-like species of wormbugs that feed off of code in the Madness Combat world. And I redesigned them to be a bit more unique compared to a grunt, and then readjusted the story so it's not too outlandishly different other than adding hollow code-eaters and making three characters into brothers for some reason.

I will explain more about their species in another time, but I'm also a bit too tired to explain about the characters themselves because the AU is still a WIP believe it or not!

Woe, have the guys without any clothes! (Except for the average Nevadean.)

Also have extra bits of information I've screenshotted before! (Ignore the Hank Bibble Wimbleton, I was sleepy-drunk and went crazy for blue-tinted PNG of Hank)

it wasn't Galacta Knight that Bandee noticed was wrong.

for a slightly more in-depth answer to some of these:

"why not Kirby?" because Galacta Knight knows that Kirby is basically the sole risk to him happily living in this timeline, and is keeping an extremely close eye on him and controlling everything he sees and hears. in contrast he doesn't pay too much attention to Bandee, and as a result Bandee actually encounters Meta Knight very briefly during the Robobot arc (which happens shortly before this comic). Galacta Knight's also mentoring Kirby to be far more ruthless and less forgiving, and has successfully isolated him from most of his friends. by the time Star Allies rolls around in this AU, Kirby and Bandee go entirely alone.

"how close were Bandee and Meta Knight?" about as close as Kirby and Meta Knight; in my hc's they frequently train together and Meta Knight has a stern but kind mentorship role to Bandee. Bandee knows that his mentor used to love him, but Galacta Knight's comparative disregard of him isn't the catalyst for him realising that things are messed up; it's that Kirby is so miserable. Bandee knows, in his heart, it's not meant to be like that. he knows that no good or correct timeline could exist where Kirby is sad and lonely.

nobody else can put together that the timeline is messed up because what they could notice is Meta Knight missing, and that realisation is shielded by the process of the wish. it had to be Bandee, because unlike everybody else, it was never Meta Knight that he truly looked up to.

also @eliastheownerof0axolotls i compressed your ask a little here; but that's only because i'll give similarly full answers to the other questions you posed!! thanks for your patience! 👍

aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you want to crack under the pressure of the system and the robbed autonomy of being forced into a role you had no choice in but have to play anyways? don't you want to buckle under the realization that, to you, no matter what you do your life is going to end in a horrific death? Whether that be under Luo Binghe's hands or the System's?

Don't you want to realize that no matter all the good you have done and the lives you have changed and saved, you're still standing at the ledge of a cliff with a sword to your disciple's chest?

Shouldn't it be you at the edge instead? Balancing on the crumbling dirt's end of death on either side, and you can either walk into it or be forced?

don't you want to go apeshit?

my autism is a perpetual motion machine of small joys and minor inconveniences and embarassments. a shark swam next to me at the beach and I was so happy I ran out of the water throwing my arms around screaming “SHARK!! SHARK IN THE WATER!!” .. this does not transfer over well to the average beachgoer.

If Robin were a boy she'd be everyone's favorite character but since she's a girl she only gets to be Steve's gay best friend.
