I've had many ideas over time for fan comics and fanfics for different things. I don't think I will realistically do them all and some are more fleshed out than others. Nearly all of them would be a big undertaking that requires spending time with it, and I think I would rather focus on originals if I'm going to do that.

So I'm going to go ahead and dump some ideas I've had here for anyone who may be interested. Anyone is free to take inspo or put their own twist on it if you see something you'd like to take a crack at. There are only maybe a couple here I'd maybe save for myself but they are still on the backburner, and everything else I've pretty much given up thinking about doing. (Will update if I think of more… also it's pretty much all self indulgent lol)

Moshi Monsters: Untitled Dr. Strangeglove/Sweet Tooth fic

This one is supposed to be about Dr. Strangeglove and Sweet Tooth being "captured" and going into rehabilitation to atone for their crimes…. or so everyone thinks. They're only pretending to be rehabilitated in order to pull off their biggest scheme yet! Unfortunately, this also means that they have to put on a convincing act, and actually go through with some aspects of their rehabilitation.

I was thinking that Sweet Tooth would be put on a plan where they could only have 1 piece of candy a day in order to gain control of their sugar addiction, leading to things like them experiencing withdrawals and Dr. Strangeglove slipping them sweets in secret when he takes pity on them. Dr. Strangeglove would go through a sort of "exposure therapy" with Moshlings to prove he can be nice/tolerant of them. Both of them would have community service, and in between all that they would talk about their plans and eventually their dreams/motivatons.

Other details include Sweet Tooth being STINKING RICH thanks to their candy company, which they secretly still have control over. I also think Fishlips, who's still with Strangeglove, would get along great with Sweet Tooth and would wind up being like a "moderator" / voice of reason when Strangeglove and ST get at each other's throats, lol. One of my notes for this was literally just "Fishlips is their baby :)"

I also think it's really funny that Sweet Tooth has inexplicable beef with Zack Binspin while Strangeglove seems to enjoy his music, so I think that would wind up being a point of contention at some part lol. I imagined one part where they go to a karaoke bar playing Binspin's music and a drunk ST is like "fuck it" and belts out a song or two with an also-drunk Strangeglove.

And Sweet Tooth, who is still a member of C.L.O.N.C., puts in a good word for Strangeglove unbeknownst to him at first, since he was kicked out of C.L.O.N.C. but is still loyal to them. And for contrived story reasons and because this fic is about their relationship, they also are sharing an apartment during this "rehabilitation" and all I can imagine is everything ST touching being sticky in some way lol.

This whole fic is pretty much just about these two because I think they could have a fun dynamic which I think is under-explored, and I like the set-up for this. I just worry that I wouldn't be able to make their relationship as compelling/believable as I'd like it to be with my current skills. Also, I imagined one part where ST is talking about Strangeglove being a "dropout" and Strangeglove is like "THEY SHOULD'VE PAID ME TO SHOW UP!"

Cyberchase/Inscryption Crossover Comic/Fic(???)

This one is about P03's successful upload of "Inscryption" into Cyberspace- but it's not like how he imagined at all. Now the world and characters of Inscryption have been thrown into cyberspace, P03 is nowhere to be found, his bosses (including G0lly) are running amok, and The Hacker is up to no good as usual.

I just think the Scrybes would look really cool in the classic Cyberchase art style, and I imagine a lot of fun stuff with P03's bosses. I imagine that Leshy, Grimora, and Magnificus would seek help from the Cybersquad in order to find P03 and his bosses, and prevent the OLD_DATA from doing any more damage. This is another one where I fear I wouldn't do it justice, but it's fun to think about these characters meeting and interacting.

Also P03 and his bosses being a bit like "siblings" here, and The Hacker capturing G0lly, Goobert, The Dredger, The Angler and Kaycee (ghoul) while trying to figure out the secrets of the OLD_DATA and use it for himself.

Shopkins Shoppies fancomic: "Shelf Life"

Ohhhh boy… this one's a lot. This is actually supposed to be a crossover comic with another similarly-themed Moose Toys property, Grossery Gang. I wanted to learn more about GG in case there's any pertinent Lore that I should know, but most of this comic has to do with the GG equivalent of "Shoppies" I imagined for them, "Grossies". XP

The story starts out with Spilt Milk getting sick and disappearing. The Shoppies & Shopkins find out that they fell down a trash chute in the Supermarket, and wonder where it goes. Mia Milk is distraught and a group of Shoppies & Shopkins go on an expedition down there to find and rescue Spilt Milk, but wind up finding a whole other world full of "Grosseries" and "Grossies".

There, they learn the truth about Shopkins, Shoppies, and their "expiration dates". Because their rope got cut, they can't return to Shopville and their friends must now rescue them before they expire and turn into Grossies and Grosseries themselves. The new rescue group seeks the help of Gemma Stone, who cannot expire.

The comic is supposed to be like a sort of meta-analysis(???) of the series and how it fizzled out. There's this whole thing in the story about one's "shelf life", how some Shopkins have "extended" their shelf lives by becoming Shoppies, and how they will all one day eventually expire. (So yeah, there's supposed to be like this… evolution/lifespan of sorts?? where they go from Shopkins to Shoppies and eventually into Grossies or Grosseries, depending on whether they "evolved" into Shoppies or not.)

There's some bodily horror and gross-out stuff within the comic that I imagined, but is mostly silly and lighthearted. I imagined some OCs for the Grossies in particular which led to this idea, and some ships too. I imagined Bubbleisha for example getting together with the main Grossie named Trisha Trashbin, with Bubbleisha initially being grossed out by all of this.

I also imagined Jessicake and Apple Blossom being a pair, with Apple Blossom eventually "evolving" into a Shoppie herself while trying to save her friends. (The Shoppie "Blossom Apples" just straight up looks like a Shoppie-fied version of AB and they only switched around the words, like c'mon!!!)

This idea is one I feel most confident about if I were to do it, but it's also still a big undertaking and would take a lot of time. There's just a lot of scenes I imagine that I think would be fun.

Kappa Mikey fancomic

This one is supposed to be a two-parter which focuses on the father-son relationship of Ozu and Guano. It is also INCREDIBLY self indulgent but screw it, I'll talk about it anyway lol. I will give a small warning that this comic is meant to include Guano's in-canon use of diapers as a source of comfort, but also because I headcanon him being incontinent due to his trauma and needing to wear diapers sometimes as a result. Not graphic, but…. diaper haters beware I guess, lol.

The first part starts with Ozu catching Guano at the end of the work day. Guano has been holding it in while finishing up some editing, wearing a diaper just in case, but hoping that he won't have to use it. Unfortunately, Ozu holds him up with a list of demands and Guano eventually can't hold it any longer. The embarrassment of using his diaper in front of Ozu gets to him, along with the verbal assault, and he just breaks down crying.

Ozu chastises him for being a crybaby, but still picks him up and leads him to his locker with spares, already aware of Guano's little…. problem. Guano then changes himself in the bathroom while Ozu waits outside. Ozu continues berating Guano from outside, and Guano snaps at him when he's done before going home.

This part is mainly to establish how broken their relationship is right now. Even after finding his son after all these years, Ozu still struggles to accept that this little weirdo of a man, with all his eccentricities and fears and trauma and smelly fursuit, is his child…. and though he doesn't say it out loud, Guano is well aware of this.

The second part starts with Guano falling sick after working nonstop on the show, and he collapses in a delirious state of the end of a filming day. Everyone else is conveniently busy, and at Mitsuki's insistence, Ozu is forced to take Guano home with him. There, he takes off Guano's smelly fursuit and reflects on the fact that Guano is his son…

He feels remorseful for not being there for him all those years, wondering on some level if he turned out this way because of him- and then he realizes that Guano still stinks because he used his diaper. ~cue Ozu having a drawer of spare diapers for such an occasion and then cut to Guano waking up~

Later, Guano wakes up on Ozu's couch. He is first shocked that his fursuit has been removed- THEN he is shocked to find himself in Ozu's penthouse- and THEN he is shocked and mortified upon finding out that Ozu changed him. (RIP Guano, lol TwT )

Cue awkward father-son talks and eventually some hugs. I think their relationship is under-explored but has a lot of interesting implications, with Guano initially just being this weird lil guy who writes for Ozu's hit show and Ozu only knowing him like that, but then both of them learning they are long-lost father and son…. it's mentioned a couple times in the show after that reveal, like Ozu quickly saying "daddy loves you" after putting Guano and crew on lockdown, and then Guano thinking he'll choose him for a father-son day when he instead chooses Mikey…. which I think is interesting. Lot of angst there! Especially with Ozu's wrath being a huge source of Guano's trauma and anxiety, I think there's a lot to unpack.

This is another one I'd save for myself because of how personal it is, and how poignant it feels to me. I have some dialogue for this and pretty much know how I want the flow to be, short and sweet. It's just that at this point, idk when I'll actually be able to do it so I may as well talk about it. XP

Chowder/Flapjack Crossover comic/fic(???)

This one is a bit random and entirely based on a dream I had. Basically, Chowder and Flapjack find portals into each other's worlds and have fun at first showing each other around their respective worlds. But somehow, they wind up getting trapped in each other's worlds and the other characters must now figure out how to get their respective boys back.

I'm not sure if anyone else has done anything like this, I just think it would be fun to see these two interact and how different Marzipan City and Stormalong Harbor are. Like how Flapjack is always scrounging for a piece of candy while Chowder has food in abundance, and an appetite to outmatch both Flapjack and K'nuckles.

In the dream, there was also this realm-hopping witch who was responsible for the portals, but I'm not sure if she should be "evil" or not. I just know she had different forms depending on which world she inhabited. I'm not fixated enough on either of these properties to spend time with it, and feel like it could be done better in someone else's hands. It was just a cool dream I had that was presented in a weird storyboard-like fashion.

Ballmastrz 9009: "Golden Ray! The Masked Vigilante of Ulsa Guerin?!"

This is a fic idea I had back in 2019/2020..... I've scrapped it because it feels very OOC now and doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I'll go ahead and dump it here. XP

Takes place post-season 1 but before season 2, and based on a headcanon I had that Crayzar likes to dress up and take on different identities in public out of boredom. "Crayzar disguises himself as a hero dubbed "Golden Ray", and operates mainly in Ulsa Guerin. He's like a metazone celebrity there and helps innocent folks in need, like defending them from thugs.

Gaz and Ace are walking through the streets when a thief speeds by, only to be followed by none other than Golden Ray. Ace is a big fan and geeks out. Gaz of course isn't impressed. Golden Ray disappears before Ace can get an autograph.

Back at their living quarters, Ace excitedly tells the rest of the Leptons about his sighting. Gaz wants to know what's so great about this guy, and Ace doesn't hesitate to pull up some photos and news articles of this mysterious vigilante. Ace rambles excitedly about his exploits and how Ace was actually saved by him from thugs when he was younger and alone.

Ace decides to sneak out in the middle of the night in search of his hero, and somehow convinces Baby Ball to tag along with him. They eventually encounter Golden Ray after he deals with some delinquents, and Ace has SO many questions. Baby Ball proposes a few snarky ones of his own. The conversation eventually leads to Golden Ray asking if Ace would like to be his sidekick, which he HAPPILY accepts. Baby Ball says "What about the team?? and practice??" and Ace assures him that he can handle both. He really doesn't want to miss this opportunity. Ace hasn't had a lot of adults to look up to in his life, and getting to meet Gaz AND Golden Ray is like a blessing to him. Baby Ball caves to his sob story, but warns that he will NOT cover for him.

Ace is struck with the idea that he and Baby Ball can form Ballmaster to help out, but Golden Ray rejects this idea. He wants to keep things on the down-low, and since their Ballmaster form is famous, that wouldn't work out. He also mentions how it would be impractical for the low-level crimes that they handle. Ace worries that he won't be able to do much by himself, but Golden Ray assures him that he will do just fine with his own power.

Golden Ray meets with Ace the next night and gives him his own sidekick outfit, and dubs him "Amber Sun." Golden Ray likes to make references to pre-Rad Warz culture, which Ace doesn't understand.

So this goes on for a little while, with Ace moonlighting as Golden Ray's sidekick at night, and training with his team during the day. Gaz notices Ace acting off and being more tired than usual, and she worries that he's playing games all night or abusing B.E.H.O. again. The others are concerned as well, but still tease Gaz for "going soft", so to speak.

Gaz questions Ace, who tries to downplay it and makes up an excuse. That night, Ace tries to sneak out again when he's caught by his team. Gaz sees him in his sidekick uniform, and that's when Ace finally spills the beans. Baby Ball is also in the room, and Gaz points at him, "YOU knew this was going on, didn't you?!" Baby Ball defends, "Hey, it was none of my business! If the kid wants to get himself killed on the streets wearing cosplay, that's his own problem!"

Gaz wants to know WHY Ace runs off with this guy. Ace explains that Golden Ray makes him feel like he can do anything, and that training beside him has improved his confidence AND his physical prowess. It has, however, come at the price of a decent sleep cycle. Gaz explains that this guy could be USING Ace for nefarious purposes, but Ace stands his ground and says that he trusts Golden Ray and that this is important to him, and that she wouldn't understand, before running off.

Gaz makes to run after him, but is stopped by Flypp. "Ah, let him go," He says, "He'll come to his senses eventually. This is just his rebellious phase." Gaz begrudgingly agrees. The next morning, Gaz is caught by Bob in the kitchen, looking out the window expectantly. Bob only stares at her while she defends herself as if they're having a conversation. "I-I'm not jealous of that perv!" and so on."

Then someone is at the door, and they answer to find Golden Ray holding a conscious, but beaten up, Ace in his arms. Gaz sucker punches him in the face while Lulu catches Ace in her arms. GR's mask/helmet falls off from the punch and to everyone's surprise, it's Crayzar.

I had some more notes for alternate events, like: At the beginning, The Leptons are getting recognized and praised, but people only care about Ace as Ballmaster, which I think would drive him to want to be GR's sidekick and do stuff "on his own" somewhat. The crowd then flocks to GR after he takes down a thief.

There was also an alternate situation where GR reveals his true powers in order to protect Ace, and his mask/helmet gets destroyed as a result and that's when his identity is revealed. The Leptons, who had been following them to check on Ace, witness this. I think I like this scenario a lot better tbh. When he has to explain everything, Crayzar talks about how there used to be vigilantes in post-Rad Warz days that would protect survivors from opportunistic varmints, and Flypp and DeeDee are particularly captivated by this.

And then the ending would be Crayzar and The Leptons, all in their own Super Sentai-like outfits, going on patrol. Or something.

*places face in palms* This fic idea is unbearably silly and entirely fueled by Crayzar brainrot but I had fun coming up with ideas at the time. I also wrote the bones for a small epilogue with Crayzar & Ace that I may or may not post as its own one-shot one day.

Annnd that's pretty much it....

There's technically 1 more fan comic idea I had for something but this is already a lot so I may add it later lol. I wanted to share these since I don't think I'll be touching them for the foreseeable future, but had fun coming up with ideas while they were new in my mind. Sometimes I'll get hit with a ton of ideas while briefly fixated on something, but can't seem to stay fixated long enough to spend time with it in that way, and that's how most of these come about.

I have other ideas for fanfics that I would very much like to do though, you can dm me if you want to hear about those lol. Thank you for reading if you got this far... :0
