#twisted Wonderland muppets au

[ollieollieoxenfree-483]

(i can't decide so you get to pick! I also need to decide on an au name as well, I might make a poll for that too 🤔)

[paintingeels]

Great news everyone. I’m making the twisted wonderland x muppts AU that no one else wants. Except me. Place your bets on what characters im making which muppets. I can guarantee you that most of your guesses will be wrong. You do not understand the process of my brain and why I make the choice I do.

But just know.

I love those god damn muppets.

Remember when I suggested a TWST x Muppets event?

Anyways...

This was weirdly fun. Might do some more, such as Vil & Ms. Piggy? I would need some suggestions for more though, feel free to share your thoughts on that!

Some things I've been working on for my Muppets Twisted Wonderland AU, idk if I want them to be humanoid or Funky Creatures so I was working on both

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Twisted Wonderland: The Muppets AU*

(**idk if I want the puppets to be “twisted”/humanoid or kept in their Muppet-y fashion)

*AU name ideas: Rainbow Connection, Light the Lights, Role Call, The Show Must Go On, etc.

(The backstory is essentially the same as the first Muppets movie with a little bit of changes for plot and its Yuu instead of Walter, I'll write it out more later.)

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

(If Muppets are a separate creature in Twisted Wonderland:)

   These creatures look vastly different as the magic they’ve been exposed to leading to their appearances being changed in drastic ways. They live in a little town called ‘Storybrooke’ (<- reference to OUAT lol) where the magic is in abundance, altering not only their appearances, but how they live their lives in general. From the smallest mouse to the biggest bird, the creatures are not only very magically inclined but also some of the friendliest and nicest creatures. But not every tree is without at least one bad apple, which is why the Muppets tend to stay in their little community and keep to themselves.

   The smallest of these creatures are the Fraggles and are closer related to fae than people or beastman or merfolk, having been around for centuries, and tend to stay underground in their colonies rather than reside aboveground. The colonies the Fraggles inhabit are known for producing Mage Stones, oftentimes harvesters will scavenge what’s salvageable after the colonies have been abandoned for disrupting the Fraggles can lead to natural magic depletion aboveground.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Twisted version names:

Kermit “Kermie” Paddington (Kermit the Frog) (UM Encore: Music of a style him chooses fills the air around him, the music spreads around corners and can be heard all around. The music moves with him, centered on him for the duration of the song, and anyone in the vicinity gets a buff on their own unique magic.)

Frankie “Fozzie” Bearly (Fozzie Bear) (UM Punchline: He unleashes a string of jokes laced with subtle enchantments at a person/creature you can see within range. If the target can hear you (though it need not understand you), it can reduce them to uncontrollable laughter and block their/its magic.)

Peter Hoover (Miss Piggy) (UM Spotlight: Everyone in a certain radius is forced to gaze upon him (almost hypnotically) until focus/gaze is broken.)

Gonzales “Gonzo” Davidson (Gonzo the Great) (UM Curtain Call: Able to “perform mass feats” (i.e. jumping from a high window, falling down a flight of stairs, etc) and do so and return unscathed.)

Andy Mal Erics (Animal) (UM Keep the Beat: Once cast, those a part of the “band”/those the spell is cast upon must remain in sync to build the buff. The longer they remain so, the stronger and more powerful the buff gets and the “band’s” own unique magic in turn.) 

(Some of the names are either inspired by their animal/things relating to their animal (Paddington -> Lily pad) or by the puppeteers (Gonzo and Animal))

That's all I have this far, let me know if you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them! :)

Hi, I know not many follow me. But for the ones who do hear this message. (If you're not but you're curious, then you can too. :) )

So, I have been meaning to make content and put myself out there as an artist. However, I was having too many bumps in the road.. I have recently seeked out psychiatrist to get some answers. I have been dealing with a lot of things in my mental space that's been interfering with my daily life, and for the past 5 years it was extremely bad. And it started to affect my drawings too, in the recent 5 years.

However, I just recently got out of that really bad time I was in. I'm currently in therapy for a numerous amount of issues.

But, I'm not letting this stop me. In the future of this year or next, I will see if I can start making content again on all the things I like. Whenever I feel well enough, I'll start testing the waters and see if I can have an easier time drawing and posting content again. And if I can, well...

Let's just say look out for another Welcome Home AU to come out! I'm currently brainstorming and writing. That's what I'm able to do right now. I was also thinking about if I wanted to draw this Au in a very different kind of animeish looking style, or to draw it in the muppet style but still have my own twist to it. And I've decided to do the second option!

I have updated this drawing, and I love it even more. It really speaks on what kind of character Dream is. Now, not only does she look mysterious, but fierce too! She looks so much better with the muppet eyes. Don't let the eyeliner confuse you!! (I decided to put hastags so more people enjoy this new updated version of this drawing!) Also... if you see a repost of this drawing again. Expect a paid personal voice claim reveal. :)

(I will be making a lot of changes of what I was originally gonna do with this AU. And don't worry, I will be making it abundantly clear that my works are an Au and nothing official & canon!!) One last thing, if you repost this. Do not skip out on crediting me!!! Okay okay, now good day everyone! I'm recovering finally.

Enjoy, this is my character Dream Wonderland! ♡☆

Mun question: Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz - which do you like best and why and what are your thoughts and ideas on those worlds as AUs for One Piece/Ace & co? (If you hate them or some of them I'm sorry but in that case I'd also like to know what makes you despise them. Well, I at least know you like Peter Pan going by your already existing AU ideas. Thank you for your time!)

Oh, first of all, thank you so much for the unexpected question and for a very sweet theme, too!

I hate none of the three but maybe I should talk a bit what I know of/from them?

Peter Pan is, answering your question, my favourite out of the three. Of course my first big contact with the story was through the Disney movie. I don’t know what year it was when I got the VHS but love was an instant thing. If you have pirates and fairies together, what’s not to like? Plus my version was the Brazilian dub and contrasting it with the English original many years later, I believe it has more humour than the original. Smee always cracked me up. 

But the reason why I truly loved Peter Pan - and I know this now - was because of the projection it had compared to my favourite book from my childhood, another pirate staple - Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. It was the first ‘big book’ I read as a child, and from a copy that belonged to my mother, too, and it is to this day one of my favourites. I love how Stevenson blended the childish wonder kids have for pirates with the more adult part of the theme, for being a young boy hiding in a barrel of apples listening to talk of mutiny can’t be anything other than scary, right?

Unfortunately, Island never got the adaptation it deserved (from Disney). In the 90′s what I had was the 1950 live-action and the 1996 Muppets version - which I really love but never watched back then. Treasure Planet came out in 2002 and… I don’t hate it but… My favourite book did not need a sci-fi twist to make it more appealing or modern or anything like it. It’s a classic.

So, Peter Pan was the closest I had to a pirate story before POTC appeared. And you know Disney does their homework too well with marketing, meaning there was an access to Pan that there wasn’t to Island. I bought The Complete Peter Pan in the beginning of this year and I must say I am glad for Disney’s take on the story, as Barrie leaves some details rather abstract, albeit on purpose. Disney unified our vision on Peter Pan without limiting, for each person can still add their personal twist to Neverland while sharing a ‘common ground’. 

Likewise, I am a big fan of the Disney Fairies franchise. It’s a great addition to canon, what with Pixie Hollow, the sparrowmen, the different talents for the fairies… It’s a new part of Neverland that doesn’t mangle Barrie’s work.

I admit most of my ideas for Neverland!Ace are fueled by the franchise and the Disney work as a whole rather than Barrie’s original precisely because of how it crystalised certain aspects of it while it enhanced others. My ideas about it are already on the verses page and also here. I never considered this world for One Piece as a whole, only for Ace but, if anything, it fits ASL. 

For instance, if there’s only Ace and Ace alone, he might be the leader of a gang of boys akin to Peter’s - for I do not replace Peter for Ace but would rather have both. They support Ace’s idea of making a crew and one day leave Neverland behind in search for adventures other than the ones they’re used to, with the othe inhabitants of Neverland. If Sabo exists, perhaps there is no need for a gang of kids and it’s just the two brothers trying to set out to sea someday. Whichever the scenario, Ace will still want to find Pixie Hollow to see the pixies and get some pixie dust for his ship to fly & he doesn’t like pirates very much - because he knows his father, Roger, was one and he left him alone in Neverland. Just like Peter, he doesn’t like James Hook very much but his hatred is different - it’s angrier, it’s on principle, it’s because of the bad things pirates do to innocent folks of Neverland - and irony, a pirate’s what he’ll become. Alas, being a child, his morals are still in grey and he doesn’t see or wants to see that stealing pixie dust for a crew is… piracy.

Alice In Wonderland I knew through illustrated books and, of course, the Disney movie. It was never a favourite. Don’t get me wrong, pushing those ‘twisted’ aspects or readings people make of it aside, it’s another wonderful children’s story. I do love new worlds! But… where them pirates at, you know? When there are so many great stories, one if just bound to touch you more than others and that’s what Pan did for me - just like I expect Alice did to others.

I have no ideas for an Alice AU for Ace or One Piece as a whole - and I guess that is mostly to blame on my ignorance. If I recall correctly, Carroll mentioned more creatures/beasts in his works (so beyond Wonderland) and made-up words and everything and for an AU to be believable, those would have to be included. That demands research and knowledge. So… I am very sorry I can’t provide an accurate answer. All I can say is that for Carroll’s works I would never set a verse for Ace that is exclusively drawn from the Disney movie when I know the books are richer and they ought to be considered.

The Wizard of Oz. Kill me but I haven’t yet read Oz though I have the complete ebooks! I know the basic story, yes, but Baum wrote so much more! You know what’s funny, though? I know of the darker adaptations of it: The Wicked Years series by Gregory Maguire - of which the first book spawned a very different musical - and Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige.  Those I have read but not Baum’s originals (or the other novels considered canonical).

Oz I do consider for an AU! At least there is enough space for many One Piece characters, considering the geography/size of Oz and all these different takes. For the original ‘verse’, I would have to assign Ace to a county/race and build my story around that. I gues using Dorothy Must Die as a base would be easier for me and smoother, too, as pirates could be part of The Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. Perhaps this would be more appealing than Baum’s story, too, as Paige made this world more adult - don’t know if you know the story, and without spoiling it for you, imagine Dorothy as a tyrant and those sweet characters - the Lion, the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman - are some seriously sick bastards. 

Maybe if I reread DMD I might make a fitting verse for Ace - again, in this particular Oz rather than the original. But that will have to wait a while as I am currently working on establishing another verse for him!

*Seeing everywhere people making cool OCs and AUs for Twisted Wonderland*

*Me debating literally wanting to make Twisted versions of the Muppets or having Muppets be a whole other species in Twisted Wonderland just so I can have Yuu befriend a bunch of funky creatures*

[ollieollieoxenfree-483-gallery]

So other than the Twisted Wonderland Muppets Au, I've also made an OC!

He's based off of this fella from the Aladdin TV show:

(His characters name is Mozenrath and he's a Necromancer)

I'll finish him up and draw (even though I'm not good at it lol) him in a bit! :)
