Part 1

More Mouthwashing Alien AU? Maybe.

This is the very first sketch I made for it:

The first sketch of the crew:

- Just some simple headshots, trying to get the feel for the characters.

- I kind of wish I had kept Curly's longer hair to go with the late 70s aesthetic. Also, Anya is supposed to have a Ripley esque early 80s perm, that is why her hair is so big.

- These were done without reference so that's why some of them are a bit unclear as to who they are supposed to represent in the story of Alien.

More Anya:

- Flamethrowers are a pain to draw.😔

The aftermath of the chestbursting:

- I really enjoy how Curly's corpse turned out in the fourth panel. I've never drawn a character from that angle before.

How the facehugger impregnation was supposed to go:

- I originally wanted Jimmy to cause Curly's infection to parallel him causing the crash. It would've been an intentional act that would've incapacitated Curly from the story just like in Mouthwashing.

- I however realized that the facehuggers don't exactly cause memory loss (don't believe even Curly is a big enough doormat to let that one slide)

and that Ash (Jimmy's parallel in Alien) wasn't out with the others investigating the signal.

- Thus, I decided to scrap it.

AU infodump:

- The characters are still space freighters working for Pony Express. (Yes, Polle the cat is a company provided luxury. Of course he'd be named Polle.)

- The characters still retain their personalities, for example, Anya isn't as outspoken and headstrong as Ripley, she's more stoic. And Jimmy is still the same demeaning asshole, not a sly british weirdo like Ash.

- Slight dialogue changes to fit the characters' voices better.

- Unlike in the film, Ash (Jimmy) isn't the last minute newcomer, instead it's still Daisuke (Brett). I wanted Jimmy to have the status of being Curly's best friend for plot reasons.

- The ship the crew are in is still called the Tulpar, but it's interior aesthetics follow the retro-futuristic look of the Nostromo.

- In this AU Pony Express has gone under far before the crew is informed about it. Of course, it has been bought out by Weyland-Yutani, and Jimmy has been programmed to join the crew and get into the captain's good graces.

- Weyland-Yutani know about the xenomorphs and want to study them, the crew is to be possibly sacrificed to retrieve the necessary info.

- The crew find the alien signal coming from LV-426.

- Curly is hesitant to approach due to possible danger.

- Jimmy appeals to the fact of them all losing their jobs anyways. Maybe whatever they find could prove to be a big payday?

- Curly yields to make Jimmy happy, thus dooming them all. They go and investigate.

- Curly gets facehugged and falls into a coma, the others (Daisuke and Swansea) want to bring him back in but Anya (like Ripley) wants to uphold the quarantine protocol.

- Jimmy (like Ash) breaks the protocol, putting them all in danger but appearing as a hero to the others.

- The same stuff happens. They study it: acid blood? Yikes! We are not getting that thing off Curly's face.

- It falls off on it's own, dead. Curly wakes up, all's well that ends well. Except for when he begins convulsing at the breakfast table and then promptly births a chestburster right from between his lungs.

- Panic ensues. At some point Jimmy deems the others too much of a danger for the mission and (for a few other reasons too) tries to kill Anya. Swansea saves the day and accidentally severs Jimmy's head.

- Turns out he's an android! They plug his severed head back online and learn what his mission was all along.

- Fuck that guy, we're blowing up the ship.

- Scratch that, Anya is blowing up the ship because everyone else dies.

- Our final girl escapes with the cat and all's well that ends well.🎉🎉🎉

Take a breather, I know that was a lot. I will write some more for this later, going more into the characters themselves and their relationships.

A sketch for one of the chapters of our fanfiction "Second Chance".

Teen! Jimmy | Mouthwashing | MLP

Funny idea ...

Just kidding, I kinda like drawing ponies, and seems rather fitting to draw Jimmy as one...because, you know...

Also, this is a teen version of him, which pretty much explains the younger appearance and different clothing style

[aliyahafton]

Um...uhh... we are out of medicines captain...

Ghost Adventures AU- Survivor!Curly

Listen to me I CANNOT stop thinking about this so here are some bullet points ENJOY MUAH

The bodies and site itself is cleaned up while still preserving the incident. 

Ofc Curly still sees them all

It’s all the same to him. Zac (yes Zac Baggins. His great-great-great-grandson maybe but it’s just Zac Baggins) points out where bodies ‘used to be’ and Curly gets really confused and starts questioning his interactions with the ghosts

He also sees them where he knows they died and can usually talk to them there

Jimmy is confined to the utility room by everyone's collective ghost powers (ghost willpower ig)

Jimmy is the first ghost Curly interacts with and that kinda causes a breakdown

He kinds sees wisps of Jimmy around utility and the cockpit and they eventually lead him to utility (he thinks he hallucinating the whole time)

While Curly is super questioning his talk with Jimmy, Zac and crew come in and confirm crazy ghost activity. He goes through his routine checklist to ground himself. (meds, slept nine hours, ate at least twice, etc?) I feel he would have a very strict schedule that he sticks to and uses to ground himself in reality and his current actions and efforts rather than spiral hard into guilt and anxiety 

At one point the crew use an Ouija board in medical. Curly watches Anya move the planchet and she just stares back at him. She talks through the Oujia board only (He gets really fucking confused when she straight up talks to him later)

Daisuke has periods where he forgets that he’s dead. He more often forgets how

Swansea continues to guard utility most times. He has the ability to go in, just like everyone else, but chooses not to. Jimmy will annoy him by banging on the door and wailing

He tries not to be around Daisuke when he forgets. It’s too painful for him to see again

Anya usually roams the halls. She can't stand being in one place for a long time. If she does she starts to feel sick

The ghosts still have game night! They can all interact with the environment just fine 

Maybe in this AU Curly ends up living at the site or frequenting it way too often. So there’s potential for nice moments and not just traumatrumatraumatraumtraumatrauma yk?

PLEASE add on to this I am begging I would love to hear your ideas :)

[makanioverlord]

me: I wanna make angst and cool art like other artists in the fandom

also me: *draws this instead*

[a-substantial-trash-pile]

Responsibility AU

while swansea figures out how to jury-rig a lock onto anya's door, he and daisuke do the next best thing they can think of to help her feel safe. it's actions like these that assure anya she isn't alone anymore.

(also please don't tag as any ships, thank you. they care about each other platonically 🙏 only thing being shipped here is mouthwash.)

Part 6 Part 7 Part 8

First part

[insomniphic]

I’ve seen some people do some Regression!AUs of Curly going back in time, but I’m honestly more interested on how someone as clueless as Daisuke would handle the situation.

So here’s a Daisuke Regression!AU

[konkeez]

what if....

[eggsistential-breakdown]

Curly should've killed J*mmy this, Swansea should have killed J*mmy that,

Anya should have gotten to Brokenstar his ass

Bonuses:

Jackshit mouthwashing first human in the dark forest (warrior cat hell)

Edit: part 2 jotulism gets mauled by wcwiwc (warrior cat women in war crimes) in warrior cat hell

[toringo]

If nothing bad happened...

[bleeding-seraphic]

Idc if he's a normal person in this au he has to suffer at least slightly

Also buff Russian Anya be upon ye

[vioorel]

Okay what if

Pirates au

And Tulpar crew is haunted and seeks revenge on Jimmy

[chendll]

the tulpar lands back on earth...

[citricacidprince]

I noticed that their dynamics were so similar… what if they swapped for a bit

As a treat (For Swansea and Daisuke) and a punishment (For Stan and Soos, but also me, because that shit hurted)

Also, bonus doodle under the cut but be wary of Mouthwashing Spoilers!
