Ah.. I need a break from drawing overly complicated robots..
Soooo...
I accidentally sparked some nostalgia in my brain somehow.. I just randomly recently remembered Lord Betrayus thinking of TFP Starscream somehow???.. and that stupid little Pac-Man show.. and now I'm going to rewatch it.. but here, take an AU design that I literally just made.. I love him so much..
Who said ghosts can't have legs...
Anyway lmao...
Since I was younger I didn't really understand or stick with shows..? Per se.. and never really finished most of the shows that I watched when I was younger.. Besides like.. yo-kai watch and Pokemon and some other stupid stuff.. I think I remember finishing the Pacman show ngl.. but I don't remember much cuz it's been years!! But I am so glad to say that I am back in the fandom.. and I don't know whether to feel scared or not.... Because I feel like I'm living in the past, I am obsessed with things that were popular way back when lmao..
I will end up making and designing the other characters as well!!
In regard to my dark Pac-Man AU, it's honestly just taking the horror potential of the dumb little show and running with it. Like, baseline, the lore in the show is quite terrifying. It's about 2 brothers. One's neglected, goes insane, starts a war, commits genocide amongst a certain race of orbs (The yellow ones) loses the war, then essentially gets him and his whole army electric chaired- ripping the ghosts from their bodies, then they banish all of their spirits to an underground cavern and seal it off so they can't come back out. Years later, a high school student accidentally unleashes them, and they lay siege to the city once again. Except this time, they're already dead, so everyone's kind of just screwed.
I refuse to draw pacman characters as they are, so in this story they're humans. meaning i had to make some changes so it wouldn't be too weird. for example, I know it's his whole thing, but I couldn't figure out how to make a human eat ghosts. every way i turned it, it felt wrong. SO- rather than eating ghosts, Pacman has the ability to burn them/ disable them by touching them. He and his friends also get ghostbuster packs, so that's fun.
Because the story changed to be more horror and serious, characters now have flushed out backstories and reasons for being the way they are. Rather than being a quirky, lovable idiot, in this version, Betrayus completely lost it and is full psycho for the most part. And Betrayus also has the ability to "control" all ghosts.
in a way. It's weird.
Anyway- feel free to ask questions. I have so much more to talk about.
