I guess I’m calling this the Lightningbot AU now???
Basics:
- Ed and Edna wanted a child, and having access to all the scrap in the junkyard, made one of their own! They never told him what he was, because they didn’t want him to feel different.
- Jay booted up for the first time without a power source being added at all. His element powers him on its own. This baffled his parents at first, but they just went with it.
- Contact with vengestone causes Jay to shut down if he touches it, which the ninja chalk up to him passing out. The second vengestone is no longer in contact with his body, he reboots. Before he knows he’s a robot, he refers to this as a “freak vengestone allergy”.
- Jay finds out that he’s an android during Hunted, where a rough landing from the portal severely damages his body. The group struggles to repair him with their limited resources. A scrap of foil isn’t gonna fix your face, sorry Jay.
- Over the course of Hunted, he acts largely the same as he does in the original, and treats his robot body’s reveal as something funny and insists everyone just “go with the flow” and not worry about it. Meanwhile the others are OBVIOUSLY concerned, and wonder if the crash is making him malfunction. At some point he snaps out of it and it hits him all at once and he freaks out for real.
- Pixal knew the whole time, literally since S3, and never mentioned it because she assumed they all knew already. Queue Jay having flashbacks to all the little hints she dropped in previous seasons (ie: implying he may need “repairs” or a “tune-up” after a fight, which Jay would shrug off as her simply wording her concern awkwardly).
- When they make it back home, they cannot figure out how to recreate the artificial flesh on his body, and he goes home to the junkyard for repairs and confronts Ed and Edna.
- The “junkyard boy” insult hits him much harder after he finds out, and is extremely self-conscious about the fact he was literally built out of trash.
- He returns to the lighthouse out of guilt and brings Echo back home with him. They bond over being made out of actual garbage.
- His head is a plasma globe filled with a mess of electrical impulses that make up his brain. When people touch it, it acts like a plasma globe, and makes Jay feel odd things (tickling sensations, lavender smell, the taste of kale).
- Once he’s aware he’s an android, he can learn to “possess” other electronics with his element/soul. His mastery over electricity gives him an instinctual understanding of electronics and how they function, which has unknowingly contributed to his love of inventing.
- Much to everyone’s dismay, being a robot opens up a whole new world of puns and terrible jokes for Jay to abuse.

Here's my Potluck Secret Satan 2023 piece for meadow_cryptid of their character Vladja, both in his warforge form and his Lycan form!
I had an absolute blast working on this art, and re-found a joy in drawing twisted and gnarled body horror that I haven't played around with in so long! Super happy to cap the year off with this art!

I wrote a fic (Nightmare mode) based on @naffeclipse ‘s Sleuth jesters. I really wanted to draw a scene from it.
Basically, it’s an imagining of Y/N’s nightmares after Eclipse’s death

(This is a sequel to this post. The Sun in the cylinder is @sweatertown's)
As Moon watched the claws within the Protective Cylinder re-assemble their friend, he felt a sense of dread creep through him.
Why did this feel so...
FAMILIAR?
