A Failed Integration

Following the events of "Wish Fulfillment," there is no escape for The Chosen One nor The Dark Lord from their past. They hurt too many Outernet citizens for a clean integration, and things have to get worse before they can get better.

Chapter 1: Disrupting the Peace - Jun 2025

They tried to settle, as best as two messed-up overpowered stick figures could...

Okay so... Y'know how victim was tormented by Alan for his first year of his life? And after he escaped, apparently the same day tco was created...

So if Alan tortured victim, who's to say he didn't do it to tco as well? And tco was captive for

FOUR YEARS

There is a very high chance he was tortured too, cuz like, why not? He did the same thing to victim.

And he force tco to block ads for 4 years too

Smth I really don't like is how everyone is hating on tco rn BCS he killed mitsi. Technically, that's true but I still think tdl killed her. And everyone is saying victim suffered the worst and yeah, I agree he did. BUT!

Tco was literally chained to a ball and kept in isolation for 4 YEARS, and he had nobody else there for him until tdl was made. Maybe that was the reason he spared him, BCS he was lonely! And them somebody who he considers a friend just goes all psycho on him?! His only friend in his life???

He didn't HAVE a mitsi to help him heal. And let's be real, from what we've seen, tdl is a trash friend.

So, while victim definitely suffered more, at least he was happy at one point and actually got to heal.

Small details in the Animation Versus sprites!

There is so much thought put into the animations of all the playable characters and I wanted to highlight some I noticed!

First, some of Blue’s moves resemble breakdancing! A fun skill Blue is shown to have in the actual shorts “Power Outage” and “Black Friday Weekend Special”

Likewise, some of Green’s move have them spinning gracefully! Resembling their dance-like dodges in “The Prank”

The code Yellow pulls up in his up attack is the hex code for his color in Animation Versus! (Av and AvA have slightly different hex codes)

Also when he slides he slips and scrambles to catch his laptop lol

When Orange stops using one of their drawings, like the shield for example, it’s gradually erased like in an actual drawing/animation program!

Also you can summon the iconic eels from Animator vs Animation!

The shield in itself has a node network appearance, but if used to block an attack correctly even more nodes quickly flash!

And when you’re in the Danger zone your character starts deteriorating by large pixel clumps like in the climax of Animation vs Minecraft, I definitely did not purposely chose Purple for this fact :)

A series of AVM mental health headcanons and analyses

Decided to write down a few of my mental analyses from when I watched AVM. These are entirely headcanon and stem mostly from personal experience and canon material, where episodes relevant will be cited.

Brief summary from mild to most serious: Green, the extrovert, has social anxiety. Red, Yellow and Purple are the ADHD/Autism/AuDHD trio. TSC has PTSD.

Green has social anxiety.

This mostly stems from his overindulgence in performance, his overconfidence, and his tendency to one-up his friends, prove intelligence, and get distraught at losses or accidents (E35). While the Influencer Arc was a slippery slope from the beginning, Green felt particularly sensitive to the amount of praise, and I imagine that it is from an already-fragile self opinion. His confidence is mostly façade, with the idea that any failure, mistake, or otherwise "poor" action ends with others hating him. He attaches hard to kindness and praise as a result of this, causing his spiral in the Influencer Arc. The more attention he received, the more he felt a 'lack' of it meant hatred, and so on, so forth.

Red has mentioned ADHD. Who's the autism?

My favourite thing about AVM or AVA in general is the usage of body language to depict thoughts, emotions, or dialogue. It's with this body language that I identified Yellow as having particularly odd body language.

This started on my second watch of E30 when I noticed that everyone runs pretty similarly except Yellow. The others have their heads down, body leaning forward and arms thrashing harshly, similar to running in anime and other cartoon media. Yellow is an outlier in that he runs with his back completely straight, arms moving with an abnormally stable force. He takes running very literally.

Alongside this, Yellow is the most emotionally dysfunctional of the CG (Colour Gang). This starts all the way back in S1 with the 'death' of Green, and how Yellow is the one who seems to be struggling to process it. He tries to comfort the others, to no avail. In the start of E23, Blue laments about the separated group, and Yellow continues to appear as if he has not processed the panic yet, or that he believes that panic is unnecessary. He seems to process grief or loss differently to the others, in that he processes it either extremely slowly or not at all. He is logical and literal to a fault.

This, among a few smaller details, gave me the idea that - if anyone in the CG is autistic - it is Yellow. From this headcanon sprung other autistic traits: mostly his special interest in Minecraft logic and mechanics. Yellow is the second in the CG (with the first being TSC, hilariously) to use the computer world to his advantage (AVA8), and is the best with the Minecraft code (the staffs past AVMS3, redstone work, coding). He gets incredibly attached to new technical things, such as the staffs, command blocks and lucky blocks, and has a tendency to lose his common sense when indulging in these items (E19). His ability to take in the information quickly (AVE), alongside forming an obsessive fixation on code and mechanics and logic, gave me the idea of this being his core hyperfixation.

Red is ADHD, Yellow is ASD, Purple... is both.

One thing I noticed regarding body language is that, of the main six in the CG; Red, Yellow, and Purple are the most prone to performing repetitive movements, flapping their arms together and doing other odd wiggles.

Purple, like Red, shares an inconsistent drive - going from impatient and controlling (E9/E10) to hyperactive and overexcited (E21/E22) quickly. He is also very attached to particular objects, such as his elytra.

Purple, like Yellow, shares an inconsistent maturity - being a mix of both emotionally mature and immature. When surrounded by older figures such as King, he attaches quickly and hard, allowing himself to regress mentally (E22) and appear more childlike. This is to say that Purple contains both the ADHD traits in Red and the ASD traits in Yellow, suggesting that he may have both conditions, and have struggles regulating them.

Orange/The Second Coming has PTSD.

While this is a common HC from an angst perspective, I'm coming at this from an analytic point of view. TSC's core points of trauma that continue to affect him are the first half of AVA4, the entirety of AVA S2, and many events from AVM S1 - and these all share a common theme in death. TSC, at several points, has seen his friends almost and actually die - from AVA8, to AVM E8, when he's seen visibly dissociating after the accidental 'death' of Green.

This started with me simply identifying that TSC reacts badly to a lot of stressful situations. He is easily the most paranoid of the CG, being the one that directly rejects returning to the nether (E20), and also being prone to catastrophizing (E11). This paranoia also makes him prone to controlling the actions of others (E11, E20, E24) and getting angry when things don't go his way.

Speaking of anger, TSC has very poor anger management, but this mixes with his fear. The fight sequence in E24 has two main sections, separated by when TSC is holding back against Red, and when his anger takes over. Both at the start and end of the fight, TSC struggles to fight Red, mostly due to his own fear that he can go/has gone too far (AVAS2). When he does lose control, this is even proven as he tries to truly harm Red, and ends up frightening him (Red goes from instigating the fight to running away).

This is all to say that I feel TSC still struggles with the concept of death in the form of post-traumatic stress. Among all this, he also struggles with sleep (I identified him having hypersomniac traits rather than insomniac traits (AVM S2)), has issues trusting others (E20), and is incredibly attached to the people he has almost lost (namely Green but also the rest of the CG). These all come under both common and uncommon traits of childhood PTSD responses.

That was a lot.

The topic of my various analyses started in the Alan Becker server as I stuck my foot in there, but I also wanted to pass this onto Tumblr and Twitter. What do you think? I'd love to spark conversations with people, and also talk about more literal headcanons (I want to make a separate tumblr thread for that).

Either way, I hope this no-image, entirely-text post gave you some ideas or at least a look at how I feel about the CG and their responses to various situations. It's all part of how I write them and I would love to do more with these headcanons - but, for now, I merely talk.

Have a good one! - EMO

I imagine Orange has the voice of Jeremy Shada (the voice of Finn the Human from Adventure time).

Also I think it’s cute how the fandom often has Orange see Alan as his dad. Victim would throw hands tho.

MITSI HELPED HIM OVERCOME HIS FEARS IM GOING TO CRY

[apricity-2]

I wonder if Dark was aware that Orange wasn’t dead yet. Yeah he lost his strength and stopped fighting, but everyone else dissolved into code once they’d died.

I wonder if he was planning to go back and finish the job after he’d released the virabot hoard.

[apricity-2]

My honest reaction to everyone’s backstories:

i will not elaborate.
