Veggie Ink Month Day 18: Black Cat

“Hey, Robbie, what are you up to?” Marvin asked, seeing the young ego sitting at the table with his coloring supplies and drawing away on a sheet of paper. 

“Making ref...refer…” Robbie puffed out his cheeks and gave up. “Notes.”

“Notes? Notes about what?” 

“Kitty.” Robbie giggled happily at that and pointed at his drawings to Marvin. “This happy kitty.” Robbie pointed at the drawing of a cat head with ears up and a smile. “This angry kitty.” Robbie pointed to the other drawing which had a cat head with it’s ears down and a frown on its face. 

“Why are you taking kitty notes?” Marvin asked. 

“Kitty under shed, gotta make sure we understand kitty.” Robbie nodded his head.

“You have a better understanding of emotions than half of the Ipliers.” Marvin muttered to himself, his eyes going wide when what Robbie actually said hit him. “Wait, kitty under shed?” He echoed.

“Yeah, little kitty.” 

“Oh boy.” Marvin sighed. “Alright, I’ll go take care of kitty, you work on your notes.” 

“Okay!” Robbie went straight back to drawing, working on ‘sad kitty’ as Marvin went to the back door, slipped on a jacket and stepped outside. 

“Let’s build a tool shed, Marvy. It'll be safer, Marvy.” Marvin spoke in a mocking tone as he made his way out into the yard. “If this cat scratches me, I’m filing for a divorce.” Marvin crouched down in front of the shed and was greeted with a pair of bright green eyes. “Hi.” 

“Mrw?” The cat meowed back and peeked its head out just a little, showing that it was a fully black cat. 

“Yeah, come here, let me get a look at ya.” Marvin clicked his tongue and snapped his fingers. 

“Mrrrw?” The cat held its meow out and slipped out fully, their paws caked in mud and ribs visible. 

“A stray, great.” Marvin sighed, hoping that it was just a run away that he could call the owner of. “Hello there.” Marvin wasn’t expecting the cat to start rubbing its head against his leg. “At least they’re friendly.” Marvin barely touched the top of the cat’s head and the cat responded by loudly purring and trying to rub against Marvin’s hand. “Let’s see what you are.” Marvin gently poked the cat’s shoulder and the cat rolled over to its back, showing its belly. “Alright, my dude, let’s make a few calls and see if anyone wants a cat.” Marvin took out his phone and dialed Anti’s number. 

“What’s up?” Anti greeted.

“You and Dark looking to get a cat?” Marvin asked, unconsciously running a hand along the cat’s back. 

“Dude, we got Sparks, I don’t think bringing in a cat’s a good idea. And why are you asking if we want a cat? Did you find one?” 

“Robbie found one under the shed and I don’t know if we should take in the little guy.” Marvin rocked back and was now sitting on his rear. 

“Why not? Your house is plenty big and it’s not like you’re strapped for cash, none of us are.” Anti grunted and Marvin assumed that he was sitting and Sparks gave him a visit. 

“I don’t know.” 

“What, you worried about not being the only cat in the house?” Anti teased. 

“Oh, shut up.” Marvin scoffed, not even realizing the cat was now in his lap and curled up. “What if the cat doesn’t like any of us? What if he tries to scratch Robbie?” 

“It’s called training and telling Robbie not to pull the cat’s tail.” 

“Can you train a cat?” 

“You can train anything with enough treats. How do you think I convinced Dark to let us get Sparks?” 

“Are you talking about training Sparks or Dark?”

“Yes.” 

“I don’t want to know what kind of treats you were using for Dark.” Marvin chuckled. 

“Marvin?” Marvin turned when he heard his name, seeing Chase standing behind him. “What are you doing?” 

“I’m talking to Anti about the cat I found and trying to figure out what to do with him.” Marvin said.

“You mean the cat that’s sleeping on you?”

“That cat that’s...oh?” Marvin looked down and saw that the cat was, in fact, sleeping on him. 

“I think we’re taking in the cat.” Chase said, bending down to scoop up the cat, who just purred at him and nuzzled into his chest. “We don’t seem to be having a choice.” Chase held out a hand and Marvin took it, standing up and realizing that his pants were now covered in mud as well. “Looks like both kitties need a bath.” 

“You can take care of the little Trickster and I’ll clean myself.”

“Trickster?” 

“Testing out names.” Marvin shrugged. 

“I like it.”

LISTEN

I HAVE VERY LOW IMPULSE CONTROL

In spite of the current community fire I give you this Rise of the Guardians AU

Character explanations/ mini story under the cut

So after watching Rise of the Guardians (one of my fav animated movies) I got the idea for an AU where the egos are like the Guardians of the JSE community.

Their designs are based off/ inspired by the characters in the movie but instead of just drawing the egos as those characters, I more so let them inspire re-creations of their outfits/ powers

Chase: Jack Frost- Guardian of Family

In the beginning he doesn’t see himself as a guardian. He’s a screw up, a washout. But even through his depression he tries to make others happy before himself. He does this by having fun and trying to get those in the community to join in with him! It’s later on that he realizes he has a part to play and that his is making sure everyone is still together as one big community. He’s here to remind us that in troubling times that we all have each other- that we’re all family.

JBM: Santa- Guardian of Hope

Being the super hero of the group, it’s JBM’s job to protect the innocent and give off the appearance of being something people can depend upon- someone who can protect everyone from danger. He helps the community become strong and makes them laugh along the way (even if he has to make a fool of himself to do it, he loves our smiles)- he gives them hope.

Marvin: Tooth Fairy- Guardian of Creativity (Sams: small Tooth Fairies)

Much like tooth fairy in the movie, it’s Marvin’s job to collect fanart/ fanworks and store them so when the community forgets all that they have built together, he shows them. Not only that, he inspires the content creators and represents their passion for their art. And it’s what he protects. (Along with the help of the little Sams who are the ones who actually collects and re-distributes it so everyone can see what they’ve made.)

Jameson: Sandman- Guardian of Positivity

Arguably one of the most important guardians of the community, JJ is there to remind people the importance of PMA. In his own quiet ways, he encourages the members to think on the bright side- or is just there to give hugs and be there for them. Whenever someone is in such a dark place, he uses his powers to show them that they still have so much potential and that they’re not alone. He give them a light in a dark place to hold onto. (Yes, he uses sign language AND the sand symbols for those who don’t understand sign)

Schneep: Bunny- Guardian of Health

Being the good doctor of the group, he’s there to remind the community to take care of themselves. Yes he may be a lil aggressive in the way he gives out advice, but for a lot of people they need their butts a little kicks to get them moving to help themselves. But not only physical health, he’s also willing to sit down and talk about mental health and analyze what the problem is/ works to help you understand how to improve yourself.

Anti: The Boogieman- “Guardian” of Fear and Chaos

And last but not least, our dear little firestarter. For so LONG he’s waited, waited to be in the spotlight. Before the other egos show up it was just him and it was delicious. He had so much power as he fed off of our fears, insecurities, and of course the headcanons and theories we made about him. But then Jack HAD to make more egos and fill the community with positivity and light. So he sunk back and waited for his opportunity- he waited for his powers to grow strong in the background. And with all of the hints being dropped and community fueling the fire in a continuous positive feedback loop, he gains more and more strength every day. He reminds the community not everything is peachy and rosy. That there are awful things in the world and how you’re just a tiny ripple in a storming ocean. Insignificant. He doesn’t want to stamp out the community- that would be counterproductive. No he just wants them to feel fear for the channel- that nothing is safe anymore- at any turn he could be there. And with that everything always comes back to him.

And sooner or later, the others will fade away...

Extra Headcanons/ Tidbits:

Before they were all guardians they were other people. (TW: death and suicide mentions) -Anti was a reckless criminal and one night his “friends” betrayed him, leaving him behind which wound up being the end of him. They were running from the police and were trying to jump a tall fence when his comrades left the struggling man behind to take the fall. He did in more ways than one. -JBM was just a regular dude, but he sacrificed himself to save a kid getting hit by a bus in the city. Even though he was about to die he kept asking if the kid was okay. The medics told him he saved them and that’s all he needed to hear. -Marvin was a street magician in his time. He did tricks to cheer up people sitting on the sidewalk/ sitting alone and talked to them about their passions. Later the same people would come back and tell him about the new job they got or the current project they were working on. He pulled a teen off the side of a bridge and a local cop mistook it for him attacking her and.. well.. things escalated quickly -Henrik was an upstanding surgeon. He saved lives every day in his career. Even though his wife and child left him, he worked every day to become a better doctor and continued to save people. And after the surgeries he would personally counsel the patients to make sure they were okay physically and mentally. But one day.. they didn’t have a matching organ for the patient on standby.. and he knew he matched the credentials. -Jameson was a small movie star in his time. And when he wasn’t filming he went down in quiet to lift the spirits of homeless children and teens. He would put on small performances and then go around to each of them and comfort them if they said it was okay. He made sure by the end of his visit they were all in high spirit. But one day the filming studio caught fire. The smoke damaged his lungs so he couldn’t call out before the building collapsed. -And Chase... He had a loving wife and two kids who he cared for with his life. He vowed to himself to protect them, even though his wife turned into a bitch as the years went on. One night they were walking home from a day at the amusement park and Chase got jumped with his kids nearby. The criminal threatened to kill the kids if Chase didn’t comply. So to protect them, he did as the criminal said, handing over his wallet and watch and phone. And when the criminal was about to kill one of them anyway, instinct took over and Chase knocked the man down and knocked him out- but when he fell the gun went off

The lights on the globe are the septiclights, each one representing a person in the community

Instead of holidays, the guardians help in the background of charity livestreams and videos to give them that little extra spark.

Sean is the equivalent of the Man in the Moon

The extra fan-made egos (like Robbie, Shawn, Angus, and Bing) are still around, they just aren’t the big guardians.

If they were tho... Robbie- Guardian of Innocence, Shawn- Guardian of Voice, Angus- Guardian of... idk, Protection? Or maybe head cannons lol, Bing- Guardian of Online Connections

When too much of the community becomes afraid/ depressed, the guardian’s form changes (like in the movie) before they disappear -JBM: Becomes weaker, probably needs his glasses to see again, basically turned into a comicbook nerd -Marvin: Loses a lot of his color, magic goes away, turns into a cat? -Henrik: Hands continuously shake, gains a stutter so people can hardly understand him, becomes super paranoid/ closed off -JJ: His colors fade to black and white, it’s really hard to summon his powers, always about to cry/ wants to scream -Chase: Goes into a low state of depression, isolates himself a lot -Anti: His bravado diminishes- basically turns into an edgy teen with spasms instead of actual glitches, wound on his neck closes.

Like in the movie there’s a point where Anti takes over (like right now) and everyone’s powers start to fade

To make this angsty(er) he manages to kill JJ and he disappears, along with the light of positivity in the community.

Chase blames himself for not being fast enough to save him

To turn thing around Henrik suggests a charity livestream to promote a mental health organization. So they all work together to prep

A young community member somehow gets into Henrik’s realm

Memes and shenanigans ensue

“We spend all our time trying to protect the community, we don’t HAVE TIME-... for the community..?”

Chase runs off after young familiar voices calling out for their daddy

Chase ends up in Anti’s realm of fear(the opening is in the woods under an abandoned computer desk). It’s a series of twisted hallways bathed in red light and entire walls of glitching computer screens that cast weird shadows

When Chase gets out he realizes all the equipment is destroyed and he wasn’t there to help

Henrik blames Chase and sad dad runs off.

The community is plunged into a state of fire and fear and there’s no positivity anywhere to be found.

Except one last light...

A fan is talking to a Sam plushie, saying that yeah they understand why the stream COULD have been cancelled.. but everything in their life is just so dark they were really looking forward to it.

Chase finds them and uses his powers to make images of septic lights and funny moments in Jack’s videos

They realize it’s Chase who’s doing it and can see him

All the egos fight Anti with the help of a few community members beside them- giving them power to fight back.

The members bring back JJ

JJ kicks the ever living shit out of Anti with the help of the others beside him Okay I think I’ll stop here XD If you read all this... wowie!
