The Wheel Of Aus?

This time it has chosen Jax

And what a coincidence I mention time, cuz

That's one of the aus.

The Amazing Digital Time Capsule belongs to @the-amazing-digital-time-capsule

Second au is the Arcade Party Au by @acstation206

I wish I was smart enough to do the pixel bit that's on Time Cap Jax. But it's okay, these two AUS merge perfectly

Introducing...

THE AMAZING DIGITAL ARCADE PARTY!

Yeah, that's right, I caved in.

Basically the exact same show except its established lore and setting is more largely inspired by archive compilations of popular vintage arcade games of the 80s and 90s such as Pac-Man’s Arcade Party, as well as the different takes within the sci-fi / fantasy genre by the likes of Wreck-It Ralph, Tron: Legacy, and Infinity Train.��

= BACKGROUND (in a nutshell) 💿 =

In an attempt to save their dying business, C&A developed and manufactured the first hybrid arcade game of its own kind that combined other popular arcade games and home console games with virtual reality. However, just as the company’s luck was turning around, numerous lawsuits from game companies by the likes of Nintendo and families were filed against the company for their product, from apparently “ripping-off” Super Mario Bros. in its entirety to causing many children to either inexplicably fall unconscious or suffer from amnesia after the cabinet’s headset was put on. Just then, as C&A announced they’ll be temporarily recalling the product to fix its issues, a shocking discovery was already made by investigators that would soon bring the company to its demise: the game’s AI had gone rogue, and once a human mind dies from losing one of the games in any way, they are either permanently reincarnated as a personified cartoon character of themselves or just straight up die in real-life depending on the outcome.

= Q&As and BOUNDARIES (sort of) 🎙️ =

"Are there any plans to make a full webcomic out of this?" - Uhhhh, mayyybe? I'm not entirely sure, honestly. While there may be a few side comics and artwork from my head I want to get out sometime, I don't really have much plans for this AU that'll be worth telling a full story right now since I feel there is plenty of things that I've yet to figure out and develop in a matter of time, particularly the setting and characters (especially considering the OG show itself has only 2 episodes out as of writing and I only have mobile apps like ibisPaint X to make this all possible at the moment).

"Can I make fanfics and OCs for this AU?" - Of course! I've seen a lot of incredible things from the community, especially in regards to alternate universes, so you're absolutely more than welcome to share whatever's on your mind as long as your heart's in the right place. I can't really guarantee I'll see every bit of it since I do have some personal biz of mine to take care of at any moment, but I'll be happy to reblog them whenever I get the chance. Just tag me and we all good. :)

"Are there any canon ships in this AU?" - Yes. Yes, there are. Well, only BunnyDoll (Jax x Ragatha) to be specific. HOWEVER, you are free to ship whoever you want here! Showtime (Caine x Pomni), ButtonBlossom (Pomni x Ragatha), it's all okay. The choice is yours, a romantic buffet! (Plus, depending on the quality of my writing, I'm not even planning to dwell too much into it for now, aside from the side comics that will.)

That's all for right now. Enjoy! :)

Welcome to The Amazing Digital Arcade!

Smol doodle for a smol au idea! Some ideas below if you’re interested!

Welcome to the amazing digital arcade! A game grounded in generating well… new games for its players everyday! (Games in a game how silly is that) Hosted by Caine and his sidekick Bubble, the duos job is to make sure every player is happy and entertained!

-Caine can create his own games, often pressuring players into trying them out!

-Many games like pac-man, pong, etc are accessible in the arcade! Is that legal? Probably not, which is why the game was pulled from shelves early on! To find a working copy is rare but not impossible.

-The game traps its players, asking them to ‘complete’ The Amazing Digital Arcade. Despite previous players completing the games library, it did not grant them leave of the digital realm.

-Both players and AI are not immune to getting infected. In this AU abstraction doesn’t occur from losing your mind, rather being infected by the active viruses and bugs. You can get healed from infection… if caught early enough that is.

Due to receiving no more updates the game is under constant threat of bugs! Now that’s where the AU really comes into play! For many years Caine and Bubble attempted to combat the bugs/viruses themselves, but after losing players due to this they came up with the idea of the players using their gaming skills to fight in the ongoing virus battle! Each player is assigned a color and weapon! It’s time to fight back players! Let’s take back the arcade!

plz give me the encouragement I need to draw ragapom as veronica and christine respectively

*GRABS YOUR THROAT* Literally ur brain is so huge cuz I'm doing my 1 millionth New Vegas playthrough rn. Fucking GENIUS

Being dropped into a nightmare scenario in an unfamiliar, inescapable location, cognitive issues, not good with words but good with numbers, so tired, doesn't want to be here (also bald lol): Pomni 🤝 Christine

A sweet, caring girl who constantly tries her best, loves the 'family' that she's stuck with even though they can be abrasive, always has a positive attitude, an angel that lights up a room and can throw a hard punch: Ragatha 🤝 Veronica

If you drew them my heart and soul would be yours <3 I can see Ragatha in that cute sack hood with a powerfist now

What happens when you try connecting a old vr headset with an old arcade machine?...nothing good

[sansmeanswithout]

been watching the amazing digital circus

Have decided to make my own abel design. I'll probably try drawing them when I'm done with vacation.

I'm spelling their name Aibel and pronouncing it closer to the word liable because I like it.

Anyways he's one of those sticky hand toys with some snake like aesthetics and some accessories made out of the plastic that's used for those parachute toys. They use the little ring at the end of the sticky hand as a monocle.

[p3achj3llyf1sh]

the amazing digital circus is kinda cool. not super into it but i like the vibes of the characters so i made one

[acstation206]

Caine would probably give the gang some arcade games to entertain themselves. One of the em being themed after Jax . I'm gonna make more for all of them but suggestions would be nice because I like to see what game's you think would fit the gang.

[puttinabstractedkaufmoinplaces]

Put him in the arcade game Galaga

Why not
