Dealing with the Stank

Okay, so- I had this idea cooking in my head for a little while and decided I might as well share my thoughts as part of a little treat!

After reading "Dog and Phony Show", I began questioning why the show never alluded to Randy getting stanked- of course, this is likely only due to him being the main character, but in context of the canon - this is quite an interesting thing to not have included within the show. Do Ninjas simply not get stanked because the suit is protecting them? Of course, there's also the fact

Stanked! Randy Headcanons

So, genuinely this whole thing happens because Randy either gets distressingly overwhelmed with being the Ninja OR it has to do with a ridiculous feeling of inferiority- (think something like what happened during the whole Lucius O' Thunderpunch fiasco, but you know, if it had done a little more realistically)

He does try to fight off the stank, but ultimately the Sorcerer manages to take over and Randy remembers briefly blacking out before ‘waking up’ in a daze- of course, he doesn’t have the foggiest what’s happening and feels this overwhelming urge to break free, and run… so he bursts out of wherever he’s in

I do view Randy as being this quadrupedal creature and has this fluffy mane but okay- first things first…

Stanked! Randy Headcanons

🧣 Randy would be themed either after an oriental dragon, a lion of sorts, or even… some sort of cheetah-looking creature. For some reason, this just makes sense to me-

🧣 He's going to be fast and that makes him harder to catch, but at the same time- I feel he might be slightly uncoordinated, letting himself be governed by present emotions

🧣 Randy will have purple somewhere on his stanked form- at least to make sure that it's him and not someone else. If I remember correctly, Dog and Phony Show had it as a mane and I think it would be a pretty cool feature to have!

🧣 I also feel that Randy isn't going to be easy to be destanked, but he also did attempt to resist- purely because he knows that as the Ninja, him getting overpowered by the Sorcerer is not ideal

🧣 He obviously doesn't have any of his powers as the Ninja- apart from being agile and lithe

Additional Thoughts + Analysis

If we're speaking on the angle of him getting stanked because of being overwhelmed, and that is putting it mildly, I imagine he's just full of anger and frustration which means the only way to destank him is by convincing the boy what he's doing is important- that he's capable, that he's a good Ninja. I honestly think that if the show were done for a more serious angle, he would be a little bound by the mantle he carries.

At some point, he reaches breaking point- feeling he can't juggle his own career, so to speak, as the Ninja and his own life as a high schooler which is what leads to his own 'demise' so to speak. In doing so, probably the only people who have the power to reverse the stank are Howard and Theresa for reasons to say the least- one being more obvious than the other.

As a bonus! This idea was cowritten between myself and a lovely mutual of mine @just-animaxiz featuring a non-canon take on "Into the Ninjaverse" - in an alternate reality where Spike, the leader of the punk bots, is the Ninja and Randy's a regular human... our favorite boy deals with a certain ahems loss to keep from spoiling the story too much. Overcome by grief, he falls pawn to the Sorcerer and goes on a violent rampage to the point he nearly ends McFist. This AU of course, is a lot deeper but I'd hate to ruin the fun so early.

Out of curiosity, and a quick show of hands- would anyone be interested in me writing a fic where Randy's stanked?

I might honestly do both versions- the one where he's stanked in a canon divergent timeline, and one for my beloved (/p) mutual.

I'll be back later tonight with more! Until we write again, my lovely readers~)

Into the Ninjaverse: Rewritten

Good timezone, guys, gals, and everything in the beautiful spectrum~

I recently got brainrot from this idea, but after an old private discussion from someone who got interested in the AU - I realized I created too much of an overlap with the original ITSV/ATSV movies, so first let's talked scrapped/dropped/discontinued ideas for the AU!

Scrapped Concepts

~ The Ninja suit is more like the Spidersuits. I decided I had no idea what to do with this- unfortunately, I came to the conclusion to let this go. Like, it felt too much of a direct copy for one thing, and two I was running myself ragged in trying to figure out what this meant

~ Randy finding the USB? Yeah, no. I have no idea why I included that in an older post- that made no sense to me whatsover

I can't think of anything else I wanted scrapped; if you count the idea of Randy and the rest of the gang having been Spider People, then that's technically another but for now just consider it like, an AU of the AU ig?

Now comes the fun part-

Lore

I can't share everything because of spoilers, but I will share some stuff I can tell you~

The Ninja Society, which are ninjas tasked with keeping monsters and other evils from destroying the multiverse, was founded by "Nomi" and the First Ninja from E-616. Now the dimensions themselves are from ITSV but that's purely to keep myself from getting overwhelmed; Nomi and the Fin had gotten concerned following a sudden rise in problems, but the 'head honcho' - so to speak - is Nomi since Fin is technically retired.

Prior to that, the multiverse mostly kept to its own devices- not fully aware there were others, but of course - following a discovery from Nomi, this entirely changed and well, some universes were far more 'stable' than others. What does this mean exactly? Well, let’s just say, not all of the dimensions in the multiverse have happy endings. I don't know if canon events are a thing within the context of the AU, but I got mean with some of the backstories.

Monsters obviously exist around the entire multiverse and hardly any of them are spared from their influence. This will be key to the storyline later, but honestly the plot deserves its own post and once I can figure out how to do a masterlist- I'll be including it in that too!

As for the characters, I can't share too much without fully giving way the full plot but I will give credit to @thesoundofmadness because it was their Randyverse which gave me inspiration to write this.

I will be sharing more for this later but I'm going to be writing a separate post to explain something for a new blog I'm trying to make since I have no self control.

[destiny-in-the-universe]

i’m hyperfixating SO hard on my own au - beginning to officialize some things for Into the ninjaverse, there’s not as much fusion with ITSV/ATSV canon anymore but some things will still be kind of overlapping. if anyone wants the more official lore sometime this week, let me know! i’m more than happy to share it- like.

i’ll infodump about it anyway, but grrr

[destiny-in-the-universe]

Into the Ninjaverse is currently undergoing a revamp! The ask blog will continue remaining open, but I will say- concepts have been scraped, new elements are being added, and this is not just direct copy of ITSV/ATSV. Please be patient with me.

I'm still busy, there's a lot going on as I try and get my life in order, but no- character asks will continue being a thing until I either get bored, or something- (i don't have any asks right now, send me more help)

This is mostly about ITNV though! A revamping is going to happen, and trust me some of you are not prepared pfft.

WIP Updates

(In No Particular Order)

Intern! Randy AU - idea created originally by @7-inches-of-satanic-panic (I am simply fixated and plan on doing making this a fic)

Into the Ninjaverse - more canonized concepts / less overlap with Spiderverse because they’re still separate AU’s

Stank Infection AU - literally just an infection au but set in RC9GN-

This next verse doesn’t have a name yet - though I have been referring to it in private by [REDACTED] heheh - but let’s just say it’s something with alternate season two

Minor Projects

Stanked! Randy AU - exactly what the title implies-

The Kitsune and the Ninja - canon x OC project

Role Swap AU - Finja is the Ninja of 2013 (?) - and Randy’s the First Ninja. Shenanigans ensue

OC Concepts - details pending!

(Yes I know I have a lot- fixations suck, but here we are)

I might be focusing for the next while on intern! Randy before I shift back into what I have planned for ITNV - since that will probably be a long post and I need more time to think about it - and ho boy, I am so bouncy about the au to say the least
