HEY! IM BACK!!
I know i said like,, three drawings,,,, it may be more than that,,,,,
anyway, here’s the first one!!
Tumblr media
i finished this forever ago, it’s for the Flubber AU!! I’ve kind of at this point reworked most of the story, and I don’t know how much i’ve talked about Sam and Fundy in this au! Feel free to check the flubber au hashtag if you forget any of this au, cause it’s been a while since I talked about it. I’m gonna ramble under the cut cause i know myself and i know it’s gonna get long-
Ok, so, Quackity didn’t build Fundy, but he did build Sam. Fundy was stolen from given as a “gift” from another less moral but richer inventor/businessman named Wilbur Soot. He’s a local celebrity because, unlike Quackity, when he makes something new he sells it to the public. This wouldn’t be a bad thing if it weren’t for that fact that half of his things have trackers and spy equipment and whatever, and he has no qualms with stealing other people’s things (ideas, money, etc) to get himself on top. He steals a lot of Quackity’s ideas, and tries to flirt with him to make up for it, and Quackity can’t tell if he’s genuinely flirting or not. Needless to say, Q hates him.
Fundy:
Fundy was one of Wil’s first inventions, which is why he is less “competent” and more old-fashioned than his other creations (i tried to make i him kind of steampunk-y), and was just meant to be a little wind-up toy/small robotic butler, but Wil accidentally gave him ai advanced enough to make him a person. Fundy tried to explain that he was a person, but since Wil had never seen a robot with a personality, he dismissed him. Wil’s treatment towards him got so bad that eventually Fundy just ran away. However, like I mentioned before, he’s a wind up “toy,” meaning that he depends on people. He ended up getting stuck out in the rain in front of Q’s garage, where he was found by the human the next morning.
When Quackity wound him up, thankfully the rain didn’t damage much about Fundy as a person. His wiring was a bit fried tho. Fundy explained everything and Q, who hadn’t liked Wilbur already but hated him now, believed every word Fundy said. He fixed him up and upgraded him so that he ran on a rechargeable battery and didn’t need to be wound up, making him finally independent. However, Wilbur, like so many other things of his, had stuck cameras and mics in Fundy, so Q removed those, too.
When Wilbur saw the feed from before the spy equipment could be ripped out, he was infuriated. He had refused to believe that Fundy was sentient, and the price was that now Fundy could tell Q everything about his operations at the Soot factory. So Wil went to take him back, telling Quackity that Fundy was important to him, as his first successful attempt at human-like ai (despite the fact that it had been an accident), and went off about how Fundy was “like a son to him.” Q listened to about 10 minutes of it before watching Fundy, who was sitting just out of Wil’s perspective. He looked terrified. Q cut Wilbur off and told him to leave before he called the cops, and Fundy has been loyal to Quackity since.
Sam:
Quackity was really inspired by Fundy. He had never seen human-like ai before, and with every passing day living with Fundy made him want to test it more himself. That’s where Sam came in.
Quackity works tirelessly for months to figure out what Wilbur did to give Fundy his spark of life, and just can’t figure it out. No matter what he does, it never seems to be working, and he’s frustrated and angry and just really close to giving up. Fundy even says that Q can take him apart and put him back together to see if there’s some piece or something Sam needs, but Quackity refuses for obvious reasons. Fundy had already seen enough hell with Wilbur.
Eventually, after 5 or 6 months, Q relents and gives up. He can’t do it, he doesn’t know what he could be missing at this point. He goes back to his basement lab to turn Sam off one final time and scrap him but realizes that his computer is playing a youtube video, one about electronics and advanced code. Huh. He doesn’t remember putting that on. He wakes up Fundy, but, to his surprise, Fundy didn’t do it either. They both start to look around for an intruder or anything that could have set it off. Hell, maybe it was Quackity’s cat Tiger, who knows, but Q could have sworn she was up on his bed a few minutes ago. That’s when Fundy uncovers a pile of what looks like a few other Sam prototypes.
…Expect Quackity didn’t make prototypes for Sam.
That’s when Sam stops them both.
Quacktity is utterly dumbfounded when Sam begins to explain that he has actually been sapient for weeks and just didn’t tell anyone. He didn’t know exactly how he was alive, but he quickly learned how to infiltrate the computer that Q had been plugging him into, and from there just other technology. He also learned a bit about Quackity this way, and realized that Q had a lot to do and little time to do it, hacking into security cams and seeing Wilbur walking around him house like the creepy mf he is, Tiger knocking things down in the kitchen, him struggling to grade his student’s assignments from his day job, and reading his messages with Sapnap and seeing how concerned his boyfriend was. (Quackity honestly didn’t realize how stressed he really was until he heard all this)
So, Sam had started to build more of himself to help out, having learned from youtube videos from the computer he was plugged into. He had plans for more, but so far he was working on a security bot and a worker/help bot, dubbed Warden and Sam-Nook.
Quackity was obviously a bit annoyed that he didn’t know, but Sam said he didn’t want to introduce himself until he was done with the two others.
And when Sam was finally done, he became a huge help around the house. He was the voice of reason Quackity never had, making sure he ate, slept, and did things on time. Sam-Nook helps cook whenever he can, and makes sure to tidy up and play with Tiger when Quackity doesnt have time to. And Quackity had a lot of fun hooking Warden up to the sprinklers in his yard and watching Wilbur get drenched by them next time he came around. He even goes back to his day job at the university, though he still doesn’t talk to Sapnap or Karl yet.
Even if Sam is the only one that actually talks and has a proper personality (unless he shifts his consciousness into one of the other bots, which he only really does in emergencies), all three of the Sam bots are a huge help, and Quackity knows how lucky he is to have them.
