I believe the proper response here is HELLO NURSE!

I'm pretty sure I love you right now for that.

[frostedWarlock]

Okay, the episode list has been updated to fill a full 13-episode season and to have people call dibs.

[Stafykune]

"Supurrmarcat" haha

[frostedWarlock]

What I have so far. Gotta add arms and the actual Dave.

[NightingaleRB]

YES! Let's depress everyone with the sad, sad tales of the Karkat Gang.

Whoops, guess my super-sad Gamzee origin story will have to wait then.

(Yeah this whole thread? Is awesome.)

I think I just died and went to heaven. This is so amazing gog I adore your style so much.

[frostedWarlock]

[inexpediency]

More scribblin': Karkat and the gang waiting in line at the shelter.

Or it would be Karkat and the gang if I hadn't gotten lazy and stopped at Nepeta.

Oh well.

I think her wrist is broken

[crepuscularDissembler]

Ooh, can I have "Clueless"?
Also, is there any kind of "deadline" for these?

[flutterShy]

I love the RP backroom. Shenanigans.

Also, oh, I'm writing more Fef-stuff. Just need to finish it. Because this explains my headcanon for her as I'm RPing her.

[Masterly]

Strident Passions - An episode where the nature of Terezi and Dave's relationship almost gets out. And like all episodes involving secrets almost being let out, at the end Terezi wistfully wishes that she could simply tell the world.

Paradox Panic - Paradox clones get out and cause havoc. The paradox clones are also evil. And have handlebar mustaches, yet the citizens of the citizens are not able to tell them apart from their counterparts. A light and comical episode aired at the end of a major arc to let the writers let loose some steam.

Sellout - Dave notices some merchandise involving SeppuCrow. Merchandise that he did not authorize. Things gets sort of crazy when he finds out there's a Saturday morning cartoon involving him and John. The SEER Productions tags intrigues Dave even further.

Irons in the Fire - A buildup episode that allows brief glimpses into the live's of the characters, all preparing for the epic end of the season episode.

Just some titles that got stuck in my head.

[lexavian]

Do you guys think gamzee's text could count as blue?
If so then, I'm all over red vs. Blue. (sollux would still be the lead)

[Wigmund]

YES! Let's depress everyone with the sad, sad tales of the Karkat Gang.

Whoops, guess my super-sad Gamzee origin story will have to wait then.

(Yeah this whole thread? Is awesome.)

Go ahead with yours. I had completely different story idea pop up overnight that booted out my Gamzee origin idea.

[Deeum]

Updated with everything hopefully!
Also made my 2nd post the episode card post since I imagine that'd be neater that way.

Sorry for not doing much these days. Been busy. I

[obscureHeiroglyph]

Kayak this made me sadder than the update did ;__;

Also there was a journal from Karkat in the rp that says that it's all his fault and now Nepeta's hurt etc. So I decided to draw it.
Spoilered for... I don't know, it's kinda crap really looking back at it.

We need more Crow around here.

Whoop, fanfic time...

it's a tad long, and writing Gamzee's accent is a pain.

Chasing Midnight

Karkat Vantas began to storm out of the alley. Nepeta Lejion sprung up from her crouched position and ran after him. She caught up, grabbed his sleeve and tried to pull him back, but to no avail.
:33< pl33ase don’t go karkat!
I’M GOING AND THAT’S FINAL.
:33< but he doesn’t care about you. we do!
Karkat stopped and paused to absorb her words before turning on her.
DON’T YOU DARE SAY THAT AGAIN! OF COURSE HE CARES ABOUT ME! HE TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I KNOW!
Karkat yanked his sleeve out of her hands and started for the exit of the alley again.
:33< he’s a cold hearted killer! we’re your friends, but he purrbably thought of you tool than a friend. please don’t go, he’ll hurt you!
YOU’RE WRONG. HE WILL WELCOME ME BACK. BESIDES WE NEED SOME WAY TO GET FOOD FASTER, AND SINCE I ALREADY KNOW SLICK, I CAN’T THINK OF A BETTER WAY THAN JOINING UP WITH THE MIDNIGHT CREW.
Gamzee Makara shambles up to the pair in his usual stupor.
dOn’T wOrRy BrOtHeR… wE jUsT nEeD tO wAiT, a mOtHeRfUcKiNg MiRaClE iS sUrE tO hApPeN aNd wE’lL hAvE aLl ThE mOtHeRfUcKiNg tHiNgS wE nEeD. yOu DoN’t HaVe To JoIn ThE nAsTiEsT oF cReWs.
:33< gamzees right! if we hold out a bit longer, things will get b3tt3r.
YOU IDIOTS. WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO COME WILL NEVER HELP. I JOIN IF WE ARE TO SURVIVE THE UPCOMING WINTER.
And with that Karkat ran off leaving Nepeta and Gamzee behind in the alleyway.

*****

Gamzee stopped running and bent over, panting and out of breath. Nepeta ran a bit longer before turning around.
:33< come on! we n33d to hurry and find karkitty!
cAnT wE mOtHeRfUcKiNg ReSt fOr A wHiLe?
AnD cAn I hAvE mY sOpOr BaCk? (
:33< no! this is impurrtant! you n33d to stay focused until we find karkat!
:33< he’s in trouble, I can f33l it.
Gamzee stood back up, having got a little bit of his breath back and looked around at the maze of streets, buildings and alleys.
BuT wE dOnT kNoW wErE hE oR tHe MoThErFuCkInG mIdNiGhT cReW iS.
:33< I know, but we have to k33p searching or it’ll be too late!

:33< yeah, but they wouldn’t just give it away to thieves, much less the homeless.
:33< we will have to steal it.
i ThInK iF wE jUsT mOtHeRfUcKiNg AsK, tHeY’lL bE mIrAcUlOuSlY mErCiFuL aNd GiVe Us ThE iNfO.
Nepeta sighed and ran off to the police station.
Gamzee groaned at the prospect of running all the way over and chased after her.

*****

Before Nepeta could stop him, Gamzee waltzed into the police department.
hEy MoThErFuCkErS, cArE tO hElP a BrOtHeR oUt.
There was a long pause as every cop turned to look towards Gamzee smiling stupidly in the door way. Eventually one broke the silence.
Isn’t that that clown criminal?
D--> Get him!
The commotion that followed would be talked about for months. Nepeta sighed, she knew that wouldn’t work, but at least it made a nice distraction. And she wasn’t too worried about Gamzee, he would escape, he always did.
She slipped through the nearest window and past the commotion without anyone noticing. A purrfect entrance. She stalked down the halls until she found a door with four symbols above it. A spade, a diamond, a heart, and a club. Nepeta slid inside without a sound and looked around.
All over the room were maps and plans. Nepeta quickly went over to the nearest pile and started sifting through it. In a few minutes she had gone through most of the documents and found some police projections of where the midnight crew would strike next. Exactly what she was looking for.
Nepeta made her stealthy escape, but unfortunately, the commotion had died down and the cops were returning to their stations. She managed to slip out a window before Officers Pyrope and Captor came around a corner. After a small bit of searching she found Gamzee reclining on a bench, as if nothing had happened.
:33< come on! I think I know where karkitty is!

*****

Nepeta hated the Foundry area. It smelt all wrong and it was too dangerous. And Karkat came here all alone. Even Gamzee was alert now, they had heard the Kingpin’s Mob had this place completely under its thumb. But Nepeta knew that the Midnight Crew were planning something here and Karkat was likely to be here as well.
Lurking eyes followed the pair as they wandered through the narrow pathways between the factories. Chills went down Nepeta’s spin as they heard a scream off in the distance. Too high to be Karkat’s but Nepeta quickened their pace nonetheless.
As they came upon the crossway of the small street they were on and an alleyway a spot of red caught Nepeta’s eye. She ran over to investigate and it was just as she feared; a trail of bright red blood. Nepeta whimpered to herself.
:33< please be a human’s. please be a dersite’s or prospitian’s, just don’t be…
As she trailed off she followed the trail of blood, first a trickle then a line, then a stream. As the trail got thicker Nepeta ran faster and the stench of blood and death got stronger. And then she found the source.
The body was covered in bruises and cuts and the area was covered in bright crimson. Nepeta felt sick. And then she saw it. On the soiled tatters of what was left of the victims clothes. A sideways 69. Nepeta screamed.
:33< karkat!
She leaped over to him and embraced his bloody body, sobbing uncontrollably. Gamzee walked over and tried to pull Nepeta off of Karkat. Suddenly Nepeta stopped sobbing.
:33< a heartbeat! he’s breathing!
:33< he’s still alive! we n33d to save him!

*****

Karkat woke up to pain. But he woke up. He was alive. After a few minutes of suffering, he managed to open his eyes. He saw grey skies framed by brown and red. Buildings, most likely somewhere in the settlements. Where was he last night? He remembers following the Midnight Crew to the Foundries and then he remembers… no, he doesn’t want to remember.
He heard movement beside him, but he hurt too much, and felt to weak, to turn and look. The figures of Nepeta and Gamzee appeared over him.
:33< karkat! you’re awake!
wElCoMe BaCk, My MoThErFuCkInG bRoThEr!
OH GOG, I HURT ALL OVER.
:33< oh, we’re so glad you’re alive. we thought you weren’t going to make it!
NOT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A GOOD THING, BUT HOW DID YOU SAVE ME?
:33< that’s just it! we tried to stop the blood the best we could but you were fading fast. then gamz33 tripped over something!
A mOtHeRfUcKiNg MiRaClE. sOmE fAnCy GaDgEt ThAt MiRaCleD yOu RiGhT uP.
:33< who did it to you? was it the mob? or…
IT WAS… I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT…
:33< it’s okay, everythings going to be okay now!
YEAH, IT BETTER.
Karkat went back to sleep, dreaming of better days.

While writing it I got some ideas for other (not as depressing) ones:
The Mystery of the Extra Striders- the beginnings of the Strider Mafia
Deal with the Detective- Terezi and Sollux have to deal with Eridan on a case
Egbert Man vs Feferi Peixes- Fef gets brainwashed and attacks Egbert with a whale. S.E.E.R. deals with it.
Cue the Devil- The Felt are up to their old tricks again... or are they?

The end sound like a reason to give Karkat superpowers in the future.
Not a bad thing BTW.

I'd suggest increased strength and stamina while enraged (i.e. when someone hurt his friends) and regeneration. It still hurt like a motherfucker, but he just don't stay down.

[frostedWarlock]

We decided that Season 2 would mainly focus around The Felt as villains while Season 1 would have no real villain focus to help establish all of the characters.

[sebastian]

I am the king of depressing back stories.

How about a challenge, we each write a horrifically depressing back story and see who can make everyone more depressed.
You take Nepeta, I'll take Gamzee?

If you want horrifically depressing backstories, let's not forget Vriska.

In my head-canon trolls in this AUs, don't have lusus, or are very rare. They are usually adopted by other families, usually trolls,but sometime humans or other races, like Feferi with the mayor.

Vriska had an abusive mother that forced her steal to get money for her habits (alcohol? drugs?). So rather than do it herself she bullied the other kids of the block to steal for her, and if they didn't she used her mind control powers to make them do it or to make incidents happen (like making them walk in traffic or jump from a roof or things like that) to make an example. She started to see other people just as tools to be used, like her mother used her, rather than as persons.

Karkat had a father that beated him and his little sister, one day he went to far and Karkat snapped, next thing he remember his father is on the floor in a pool of blood and he is holding his crying sister saying that "the old bastard will not hurt you anymore. I will not let him". Soon he heard the sirens ("great, after all these years, and this time those lousy neighbors decided to call the cops") and he run away. After some time he heard that his father survived and was arrested and his sister was adopted by another family (and detective Pyrope promised to keep a close nose on her) but he remained on the streets. He was too old to be adopted and didn't want to end in an orphanage, beside he was big enough to take care of himself and he had another family to look out for now.
But that is another story.

More title cards, away!



Its the minor details I always miss.

[QuetzaDrake]

OH, shit, I didn't even notice we had made this into a TV show, now.

Awesome. Someone should animate an opening sequence.

I've been thinking of an opening sequence too but.. I'm terrible at animating. And it'd also need music. <.<
