SO idea!

i always had the thought that apex has a insane phobia of dogs. like insane insane. even puppies. idk why tho any i just wanna know ur opinion.

(I LOVE UR OC/ART/IDEAS AND OTHER STUFF SM I BFehueFJWRGVUjhgBJ)

In Cosmic Contest, it's seen that a Pointyhead saw some dogs and immediately decided to run away from them out of fear.

Although, I think if he had a phobia of dogs in general, it might be normally Pac-World's dogs. They're loud, they're fast, they have SHARP TEETH. Even if they were a friendly one that doesn't smell any sort of danger on him, he'd probably be afraid of it if it started to bark.

I think the main reason for his phobia would be that they're loud, he's not used to creatures that use such volumes normally and it scares him. Almost similar to the sensation of hearing a balloon pop, it just hits with shock and a little anxiety spike. Even if you hand him a small puppy that's happy to see him, he'd probably back away in case it wanted to yap a little bit.

I think it might fit him in general, he probably feels all high and mighty with his robot and probably feels kinda powerless without it protecting him. So when he's on the ground, he's on the constant move to protect himself, (I saw in the second game that any sudden noise from when he's not in robot protection, he will be startled and try to swipe or hit whomever.) poor guy's jumpy from noise.

(BTW THANK YOU SM!!! I LOVE THAT YOU ENJOY SEEING THEM)

ily "betrayus was friends with pac's parents" truthers ! please imagine sunny's horror having to watch their best friend (bff since highschool if you're like me and like adding Extra Spice) be executed , and Definitely not grieving after seeing someone he cared for deeply be put in a the pacworld equivalent 2 the electric chair :3 they're fine

[a-sad-mage]

Sometimes, I think about how Betrayus is the literal definition of:

"The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth "

Granted, all we know of his backstory before the Pac-World War is what Betrayus himself says, and that can be considered unreliable as Betrayus, as a villain, can be an unreliable narrator.

But as far as I remember, when the past is brought up in the presence of his brother Stratos and Mom, neither of them seem to deny how he was treated growing up.

(Correct me if I'm wrong)

Heck, the Easter Egg Island episode, the Easter Peep goes as far as to kidnappe all the Ghosts as revenge for a prank Betrayus pulled as a kid one year because he couldn't get a single egg the year before-

(And let's be real for a moment. If Stratos was a good brother, he could have shared at least one(1) egg with Betrayus)

Sure, she waited till when he was an adult, but he was an adult long before the war and being stripped of his body.

He gets coal every Pac-mas(Christmas)

If that statement is taken literally, does that mean he's been getting it since he was a baby? Because if so, that's kinda messed up, and if not, and just when he was a kid, that's still messed up because Skeebo doesn't get coal, and he's a jerk to the Team, and Inky, Pinky and Blinky still get gifts even though they still cause trouble every now and then, Santa-Pac admits as much.

Betrayus became the villain because everyone, even his own family, made him out to be one.

No one really respected or cared for him, even now that he rules the Nether World. It's clear the Ghosts just follow what he says because the majority are scared of him.

And in an ironic twist of fate, I think that's what his Ghost Power represents.

Betrayus is a fire ghost, and as we see with a munch of Ghosts, not all of them get other abilities. Some train to improve the existing ghost abilities like possession so it lasts longer.

Because of this, ghost powers/elemental ghosts can be seen as individuals with high levels of resentment/trauma. As in the real world, we have adopted that there are different kind of Ghosts all over the world, and the way the form in the afterlife and what they are able to do is influenced on how they where treated and lived.

Betrayus quite literally burned every bridge while living, especially when the first Pac-World War happened.

He was going to take over Pac-World, become its leader and be 'appreciated' and 'acknowledge' for once in his life, to be remembered as something other than the screw up of the family.

He wanted to feel the warmth of being someone worth something, and when all previous attempts failed, when his cries for attention, acknowledgment, and help were ignored as him being a troublemaker, he decided if no one would willingly give him that warmth he craved, he would take it by force any means necessary.

So when he was stripped of his body with the Repository, his desire to feel warmth was granted by giving him fire powers as a ghost and being sent to live and subsequently rule the Nether Realm.

He has warmth, but not the kind he hoped for.

Am I saying Betrayus is justified, completely 100% off the hook for everything he's done?

No, absolutely not, but understanding all the 'little' things, helps one understand a villain and their motivation to why they turned out the way they did.

Im not denying that pure evil doesn't exist. It does, and those individuals are beyond reason.

But in a case like Betrayus?

I can't help but feel like he was unjustly turned into someone he didn't want to be.

The ghost has talents. He used to be a pattle ball pro, while we don't see much of Fluffy anymore, we know he loves his three-headed doggy and dose actually care about the other ghosts he rules over to some extent.

So, in short, Betrayus was just some guy that was delt a shit hand at life and has a slightly better one in the afterlife.

He's not totally justified in what he does, but it's understandable, to an extent.

Betrayus was and still is one of my favorite villains of all time, simply because we, as the audience, can collectively laugh at and sympathize with him.

He's not a good individual, but he's not 100% evil either.

He's just Betrayus

so here's my latest pmatga idea

bitter exes: old man edition™

[butterpuffed]

Pacster has the tism

[ell-arts]

Does Hell and Heaven exist in your pmatga aus? If so, does the Netherworld count as it's own version of Hell or is it a separate thing?

If they're all separate things in your aus I'd be hocked! I'd love to see your interpretations of them!

I was writing a whole-ass essay to this question when I realised that I was drawing it out unnecessarily 😅 SO I've decided to rather move the bulk of what I wanted to write into a separate post that focuses on my headcanons for the Netherworld and its reason for being.

So, short answer:

Heaven and hell do exist in most of my PMATGA written work, but they are separate from the Netherworld, in which the Nether acts as a border between eternal life and eternal death. The Nether is where ghosts go when they are not at peace and remain in limbo (or have unfinished business, so to say.)

This is not comparable to the concept of purgatory though, nor could the Nether be considered an equivalent of hell, even though it may have similarities. The Netherworld doesn't qualify for the rules and definitions of purgatory, nor does it portray the same amount of suffering that you would find in hell. But I'll elaborate more in that future post about headcanons for the Netherworld.

On the other hand, I also feel a bit inclined to headcanon that the Netherworld is not the type of 'afterlife' that we think of when we think of heaven and hell - rather, I wonder if the Nether is just a different dimension entirely, and the only way to access it is either through portals or through an abnormal separation of one's body and soul (like bodystripping) in which a person's soul is trapped in a different dimension (Netherworld) while it's body remains unconscious in the former dimension (Pacworld).

So, to sum it up, I hc that Pacworlders do believe in a heaven and a hell, but the Netherworld is a separate realm that comes prior to any sort of final/eternal afterlife.

Do y’all think Betrayus would’ve read/ watched some version of Watership Down as a kid? Prolly didn’t learn anything from it but still

[vampiredrooling]

The other night I was looking at the different voices that the voice behind Betrayus did and evidently they also had a brief running as Sonic from the Underground series, mainly for singing purposes. I listened to it and I thought that it was dripping with Betrayus' voice, which made me think that maybe Betrayus could sing to some extent but he can only sing rock and grunge. Like, he thinks it's his secret talent but everyone that has to put up with him everyday already knows.

I am LIVING for all these HC’s rn,,

I call this one: Betrayus Sings Sonic Underground Songs for Approximately 7 Hours

[ask-the-spheros-brothers]

Stratos lilium is taller or shorter than you? By the way, how is it possible that she had a pink-colored daughter if she is green-skinned like you?

Stratos: she's shorter than me.

I hope this clarified since unfortunately, it sounded better in my head when I was drawing it

[ruckis-vandalizes]

art dump of various pmatga things. you might notice that the pac-worlder gjinka or whatever you wanna call it look for betrayus here is close to atmos and yeah thats cuz I reused the design.  As for why the hair is that color theres some more info/lore/hc stuff rb'd to my main account bcuz I dont want to upset the tumblgods by saying a word that the algorithm doesn't like.

[thegmdfangirl14]

Yes please!! What kind of headcanons do you have for that pmatga season 3 we never got to see??

(I’m deeply sorry that I never got to this right away, anon! My brain’s basically been in fanfic land for a month, but better late then never, I guess! *sheepish*)

(No, I totally didn’t forget to post this for 2  months.... *sweats*)

*inhales* My time has come. 

(Keep in mind, these might be pretty random, so bear with me)

- It’d be cool for the world that we’ve grown to know to get expanded upon, and for us to see what’s outside of the city we’ve spent two seasons in.... After all: “There’s more out there”

- I’d feel like it’d be a little similar to the first two seasons in tone , but it’d be slightly different as we’d get more character development out of this one...

- I’d love for any of those little plot points mentioned in previous seasons to get revisited again, like what Apex mentioned about Pac’s parents, and the little thing those Eldrich gods mentioned about Pac becoming strong enough to beat THEM....

- And hey, maybe we’d find out WHO hired The Pacinator from that one episode in this season, or at least get a glimpse of who did..... *cough* eighties cartoon *cough*

- You know, Japan does have  with ghosts and other assorted creepy things, so there’s plenty of cool ideas for any new enemies Pac and his friends might encounter....

-(Also, it’d be cool to see some yokai inspired beasties in the show for Pac to go up against)

- We’d probably get more backstory out of the show, like about the world in general , and how exactly Eli’s mom knew Pac’s parents.....

- And yes, there’d be more war backstory! :)  

-(A personal hc) Pac’s pretty clueless about his heritage , other than what the Prez has told him, he basically knows almost nothing about his people’s history, so he jumps when he does get the opportunity to learn about his history....

- And let’s just say, not all that he learns is gonna be pretty...(Aw jeez, I’m trying to

- Maybe it’d be hinted that Spheros may be lying to Pac and his friends about something important, but I’m not sure I want to interject my own theories just yet....(spoiler: don’t trust Spheros)

-(I mean, I have my own theory on why Rotunda  never mentioned the fact that Spheros and Betrayus even HAD a sister or a niece before, *cough* some rather nasty personal business with the unnamed dad in this equation*cough*but that’s for another time)

- Selencia( the fabled sister we heard mention of in final episode ) has a lot of secrets of her own , and she has barely spoken (or had any contact)to either of her brothers for years.... and that may or may have something to do with a falling out during the first ghost war....

(Yes, I chose for Sel and Bet to have actually had a good sibling relationship)

- And yes, it’d be expanded upon somewhat in the show.... ; )

- I’d really like to think that we’d get some additional development of Eli’s character, being that she was pretty one dimensional ,and a lot of people kind of dislike her as it is...  So we’d probably see her gain more of a character as the story goes on, and see some growth from her as well...

- And there’s the matter  of Eli’s missing dad, (I have a theory on that, but in context of the fic I’m writing, it’s a little spoilery) and how exactly Betrayus knew him....

-(This is a personal one because I ship a certain pink ghost with a certain yellow orb) I personally don’t think Pac and Eli would wind up together in the show , my take on their relationship would wind up with them being friends, (because platonic male female friendships are a real thing).

- Also, there’d be a ton of cute moments  between Pinky and Pac for those of us who enjoy shipping the pink yandare  with the yellow beachball.. ;)

Well, these are all I can think of for now! Hope you enjoy! :)

[pmatga]

here's The goth icon of pmatga (betrayus who?? betrayus Who???)

anyway here's a quick cylindria i did in like two hours. partially practice for the circle ppl style bc i haven't done it in a while and partially me realizing that, hey, i've never drawn any of the Main Three, i oughta rectify that

[pmatga]

recently remembered this post i made like three years ago (jesus. time progression) and i can't believe it's never occurred to me until now how spheria might feel abt it

[pmatga]

Just found your blog and I really like it ❤️ so if it's not too much trouble more head cannons about your OC please

you didn't specify which oc you meant so fuck it. you get Multiple

blair spellman

idk if i've ever mentioned it before (i probably have and i just forgot lol) but she has fire powers like her dad! they aren't as strong as his are though bc she's still alive and fleshy and made up of water. she really doesn't use her powers for anything more than lighting a cigarette when she can't find her lighter, however; that's bc she can't control them all that well. like she's not accidentally setting shit on fire left and right (not since puberty at least), but if she has a great emotional outburst (especially an angry outburst), Bad Shit might happen. thankfully blair didn't really inherit their father's temper so Bad Shit doesn't really happen all that often. don't get me wrong, they Do have issues with anger but that's more due to trauma than anything related to bets (plus she deals with her anger issues in a different, yet still unhealthy way)

is the type to wear axe body spray in lieu of Actually showering because "it’s basically the same thing, right?"

prefers nightclubs to house parties.

another thing that i don't remember if i've ever mentioned before: they were on the track team back in high school. their coach once told them that if they worked hard enough, they could really go places (funny how that worked out). she's not nearly as good of a runner than she used to be, but she can still, say, outrun a swarm of ghosts if she tries hard enough (adrenaline is crazy man)

their last name, spellman, is a surname they decided for themself. and even after reconnecting with their mom's side of their bio family, they still keep their last name as spellman. it's Important to them.

has little to no social media presence. like they have accounts but they never post, they mostly just lurk

she accidentally burned down the last place she worked at (a 7/11). an argument between her and a coworker got heated (pun only slightly intended) and…well. i'm sure you can guess. thankfully no else aside from blair & her coworker were there and they got out more or less fine, so she didn't kill or seriously injure anyone (and she's lucky she didn't). and bc they could never really prove it was her---everything pointed to an electrical fire, even if they could never figure out how the fire got started so quickly nor why it didn't spread beyond the store---she never got in trouble for it nor did she have to pay for it. it scared the shit out of her though, and ever since she tends to stay away from the vicinity.

robert jadeite

if he were in the show, there'd be a running joke abt him having Just So Many shitty jobs. does he just quit/get fired a lot, or does he actually have 15+ jobs? we will never know. for example: waiter, late night gas station attendant, cashier at pacmart (walmart), working the drive-thru at pacdonalds (mcdonalds), pacbucks barista (or maybe starpacs? idk), the guy at a water park who tells you when you can go down the slide, etc. he has so many jobs and he hates every single one of them.

has a semi-popular youtube (pactube?) channel. all his videos are either "sitting in my car or on my kitchen/bathroom floor" style rant vids or 1-3 hour long vids on a hyperfixation-induced rabbit hole he'd gone down.

prefers house parties to nightclubs.

has pretty bad insomnia. he's lucky if he gets 4-5 hours of sleep a night.

he's a college dropout (mental health reasons + mid-semester identity crisis) and was majoring in marketing prior to that. he currently doesn't know what he wants to do with his life and doesn't like thinking abt it bc thinking abt the future scares him.

orbitalia spheros

she’s betrayus & stratos’ half-sister and her bio dad is japanese (or pac-japanese? since tokyo is called pac-tokyo). she didn't meet her bio dad until later in life, as rotunda never told him abt orbitalia's existence. things were shaky between the two of them at first (orbie & her dad i mean) but they're more or less alright now

sunny and orbitalia were best friends back in high school. they drifted apart some in college but they were still very close. orbie & zac were Also friends but weren't As close as she and sunny were.

she Does Not have a good relationship with either of her brothers; she's never really been close with either of them tbh. it's mostly why she almost never comes down to pacopolis except to pick up elliptica whenever she visits.

has made a few attempts to get back into the dating scene over the years, but each and every time these relationships end up dissolving bc her heart's just...not into it (and also bc well. never receiving closure on whatever happened to her husband kinda makes it hard for her to properly grieve which makes it hard to Actually move on). she's still friends with most of her exes though.

akahiro murasaki

was Not A Fan of his in-laws. this is mostly for two reasons: 1.) if there is one thing that both of the spheros brothers are equally good at, it’s at testing the patience of everyone forced by social convention to interact with them, and 2.) orbitalia told akahiro Some Really Concerning Shit abt growing up with rotunda as a mother and stratos & betrayus as brothers. y'know that thing where you're telling someone what you think is a funny story only for them to look at you in horror bc it was actually traumatic? yeah. so while he was willing to be civil for orbitalia's (and later elliptica's) sake, he didn't really go out of his way to be overly friendly to them.

is a transhet man (he/him), he & orbitalia were t4t

liked wearing boots with slight heels (much like his brother-in-laws ironically enough). not really so he'd seem taller (he was 5'9" and was perfectly content with that) but bc they looked good and that's it

was quietly self-confident. he looked good, he was good at what he did, he knew it, and he didn't necessarily feel the need to flaunt it (those kind of ppl annoyed the hell out of him tbh).

that being said he Did have some insecurities, mostly abt whether or not he was actually a good husband and (later on) a good father. as i've said before, he wasn't the most emotionally demonstrative person in the world and he worried abt whether or not orbitalia & elliptica knew that he loved them. orbitalia did (even if she did occasionally have her doubts bc anxiety be like that) and elliptica did too (at the time, at least. nowadays elli's not entirely sure)

gwendolyn hollow

her voiceclaim is sally from the nightmare before christmas

you know how i once mentioned that she uses secret tape recorders to record things? yeah. she does that so 1.) she doesn't have to just rely on her poor memory, 2.) she can decipher anything she doesn't understand later, and 3.) as a sort of audio diary.

is an appreciator of small things, like buttons and strings of ribbon, rocks, animal bones, and such. sometimes she will stare at little things that interest her for so long that griffin or even the good doctor pacenstein himself have to tell her to “move along, girl.”

slightly related to the above hc: pacenstein & griffin call her "girl" a lot. keep in mind she's at least 20 years old.

her middle name, elizabeth, is derived from pacenstein's ex-fiancée elizabeth from way back in the 1800s. and yes it's fucking weird that a.) griffin let his great+ uncle name his first and only child and b.) pacenstein named his grand niece after his ex. like sure it's just her middle name but still. weird shit.

isn't allowed to interact or even show her face to any visitors to pacenstein manor. this is bc the last time she interacted with a visitor (it was literally just to take their coat), they took one look at her, got freaked out, and made an excuse to leave. she was never really told Why but was led to believe it was bc she resembles her great-uncle. it's not.

genuinely doesn't know Jack Shit abt almost anything that's happened outside the castle and what little she Has learned has been history from like...200 years ago, so nothing recent. a whole fucking WAR happened within her lifetime and she's completely unaware of any of it.

griffin hollow

as the caretaker of pacenstein manor and the only one who can/is allowed to leave the castle, he’s usually the one who takes care of dr. pacenstein’s personal affairs---gathering supplies and equipment for them both (yes sometimes this includes Literal Graverobbing), arranging meetings with potential clients, and finding out any recent developments in pacworld (never hurts to keep informed!).

is really fucking cowardly and tends to bend towards dr. pacenstein's will, especially where gwen is concerned. he is Far Too Willing to throw her under the bus if it means getting his great+ uncle's approval.

much like his great-uncle (and much like most of his contemporaries tbh), he believes that his intelligence is far superior to most people’s and that others should be grateful to bask in his presence. unlike his great-uncle (and most of his contemporaries), however, he also knows that this isn’t a stance that endears him to others, so he usually shuts up abt it.

he doesn't express anger in the traditional sense. like he won’t yell (most of the time), get physically violent (again most of the time), or even directly tell someone he’s angry. instead, he chooses to express anger by doing this…passive-aggressive, just downright weird shit whenever he's mad abt something. like "accidentally" locking someone in a room/out of the house, hiding things (usually sentimental possessions or necessary items like keys), turning off the heating/air conditioner with no warning, etc..

[toad-in-a-trenchcoat]

warning: cringe

I know based on trends or how the characters behave, one could argue Pmatga takes place around the equivalent of the early 21st century, but given the advanced tech and stuff (And maybe like one or two dates from in-show) I’d imagine it takes place a few centuries later.

I like this thought because the idea of a bunch of really old ghosts using gen Z slang and everyone being confused amuses me.

so I wrote this drabble I’m quite ashamed of:

Ghost 1: You hear the tea?

Ghost 2: Tea, sis.

Ghost 1: Apparently some ghost be stanning Pac-Man!

Ghost 3: No cap?

Ghost 1: Bet!

Ghost 2: Major simp! Pac-brats a skrunkly but that’s a bit sus.

Ghost 3: Don’t drag the ghoul, prolly got high key finessed.

Ghost 2: So not cash money.

Ghost 1: Periodt!

Betrayus: *sobbing* WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU PEOPLE SAYING?!
