CONCEPT DOODLES for an AU I dabbled in with a few friends after the winter king episode but kinda forgot about after the Fionna and Cake finale... I decided to revisit it and explore a little more after coming to terms with everything LOL... So, it's another "Winter King doesn't die immediately after his crown gets nuked" AU, but THIS TIME he's just dying really slowly (like Simon in the Betty episode) and ALSO joins Fionna, Cake, and Simon on their search for magic crowns. There's no logic behind this tbh, we just wanted to put him through The Horrors. And make them all friends. But mostly The Horrors. :) (he only gets to live as a treat, because I think he's funny).

Bonus (old screenshot), because this is still funny to me:

viktor makes one too many jokes in the early days of hextech about how easy it would be for the council to just decide to cut him out of everything and make sure only jayce is credited with hextech and steal all of his work for free and there'd be nothing viktor could do about it until finally jayce gets fed up and decides they HAVE to get married. its the only option. that way viktor can't even joke about it anymore because legally it CANNOT happen. over his dead body or these divorce papers, jayce talis will NOT let his partner be excluded from their hextech baby dream!!!

DAY

Ark does have laws against loitering, but there's yet to be a guard that brings them up on it... More info/extras/lineart below the readmore 😌

The Marksman has an absolutely atrocious wandering sleep schedule that involves only ~4 hours of proper horizontal sleep at whatever random time is convenient to him. The rest of his sleep he gets from sporadic naps, utilizing his ability to sleep literally anywhere (often standing up). He prefers sleeping during the daytime (to pass the brightness/heat of day) in crowded or busy areas, since there's significantly lower chances of people taking advantage (pickpockets, etc) somewhere where there's guards watching. About once a month or so he crashes tf out and sleeps like the dead for ~10 hours, but that's how the slate breaks, he supposes.

Tharaêl, long used to sleeplessness from his time in the Rhalâta, quickly gets used to the Marksman's new method of sleep deprivation. He can't nap, however, so he uses the time to rest, think, people-watch, or generally have time for himself.

That's it. I'm opening up my DSM5 to diagnose that damned shrimp from Dandy's World. I'm never going to get any work done if I don't talk about ODD with someone.

So: Oppositional Defiant Disorder is classified as a mood, impulse-control, and conduct disorder characterized by angry/irritable moods, argumentative/defiant behavior, and vindictiveness. Let's go through each category one by one with some in-game examples.

Category A

A pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness lasting at least 6 months as evidenced by at least four symptoms of the following categories, and exhibited during interaction with at least one individual who is not a sibling:

Angry/Irritable Mood

1. Often loses temper

2. Is often touchy or easily annoyed

3. Is often angry and resentful

Argumentative/Defiant Behavior

4. Often argues with authority figures

5. Often actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or with rules

We never see him interact with an authority figure [who even is an authority in their situation? Dandy?]. Even if he was perfectly in line with authority figures, he would be diagnosable so it doesn't really matter. But come on, do we really think this guy complies with authority?

6. Often deliberately annoys others

7. Often blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior

Vindictiveness

8. Has been spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past 6 months.

While we don't have a timeline of events, I think it's safe to say this pattern of behavior has lasted at least 6 months with how the other toons expect this kind of behavior from him. The interactions I chose as my "evidence" were pretty arbitrary since all of his interactions involve Shrimpo being angry, argumentative, and vindictive.

All that to say, I think Shrimpo fulfills category A to a tee. At the most conservative reading of his interactions, he hits five symptoms [1,2,3,6 and 8]. In a more imaginative reading, he hits all eight easily. Either way, we only needed 4.

---------------

Category B

The disturbance in behavior is associated with distress in the individual or others in his or her immediate social context (e.g., family, peer group, work colleagues) or it impacts negatively on social, educational, occupational, or other important areas of functioning,

---------------

This category is probably the shakiest for my argument. It's hard to say if he or any of the toons around him are necessarily "distressed" by his behavior. Toodles certainly seems distressed by this interaction, but it's also a one-off in which he purposefully scares her, so it's hard to say if she's distressed by his behavior in a broader sense.

I would definitely say that his social functioning is impacted. Social functioning defines an individual's interactions with their environment and the ability to fulfill their role within such environments as work, social activities, and relationships with partners and family. Things get tricky when we ask ourselves about the roles of the toons, and what those roles mean for a living creature. Shrimpo is a bully character in the canon cartoon, and he fulfills that social role very well.

However, he is... bad at everything else, to put it nicely. Shrimpo completely fails at any other role you could possibly assign to him, such as friend or coworker. He fails at occupational functioning as well, being useless at extracting, distracting, or surviving [believe me, I have all mastery quests on Shrimpo, I know lol]

So can we check off category B? That's reader's choice. It depends on if anyone is distressed by his behavior, and if ODD is negatively impacting his ability to function [or if he's naturally that unskilled].

Ultimately, this category is only here to say that no one should be diagnosed with a disorder if there isn't a good reason for it. If no one's bothered by it, then it can just be a character quirk instead of a disorder. But this guy is fictional, so I'm just going to decree that he should be diagnosed for the fun of it.

---------------

Category C

The behavior does not occur exclusively during the course of a psychotic, substance use, depressive, or bipolar disorder. Also the criteria are not met for disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.

---------------

We see no evidence that could lead us to assume that Shrimpo has a psychotic, substance use, depressive, or bipolar disorder. We also never see Shrimpo act any differently, nor do any characters mention Shrimpo acting differently, so if Shrimpo does have any of these disorders we can assume these symptoms do not occur exclusively during their course.

Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder is slighty more complicated, but not really since Shrimpo is an adult. DMDD is an adolescent condition with similar symptoms of irritability, extreme temper outbursts, and trouble functioning due to irritability, but the diagnostic criteria includes "This diagnosis should not be made for the first time before age 6 years or after age 18 years." Since he is past adolescence, we are free to diagnose him with ODD.

---------------

So what do we do with this information?

Idk. I'm just autistic with an interest in disorders. All I want is to carve out a section in our shared sandbox for ODD Shrimpo since the guy has literally taken over my brain and he is exhibiting Symptoms.

I often diagnose characters just so I have a nice and neat guideline for how they should act in my own portrayals. It's not perfect by any means, but I think it helps keep me consistent lol

Rewatching "Fingers-loose" and noticed this scene with Chloe Barbash and Hogarth Haber together and thought that if you shipped them their couple name could be Chlogarth and that would be funny. So, yeah I ship that now.

i don't know if you've done this and I've missed it somehow, but i'm wondering how the rest of the cast outside of team e-scope extended acts towards noah when its revealed by heather and alejandro that noah was lying through his teeth during the cheating arc, especially since you implied that they went out of their way to treat him horribly. are they remorseful at all? do they try and apologize or does secret agent izzy even let them close to him? i really really like how you and perpetualexistence had expanded on that concept by solaiurm

I don't think neither me nor Perp have covered how the rest of the cast reacts to Noah being revealed to not be a cheater, outside of their initial reactions as the peanut gallery in the World Tour finale. So I'm more than happy to throw some ideas at the wall here- hopefully some of them stick!

For starters, it wasn't implied that Noah was treated horribly by the rest of the cast. It was outright stated. That's the bread and butter of his "cheater arc"- being vilified by both the general public at large and by the cast he's forced to cohabitate, despite not actually being a cheater. Which he only makes worse for himself by playing himself up as the villain during his segment on the Aftermath.

.

When Gwen has her initial segment in the canon Aftermath, she's dubbed "the New Heather" and pretty ostracised by the rest of the cast (at least until Trent sits next to her), but she's seemingly quickly forgiven for her own cheating scandal because she shows remorse for her actions/repeatedly tries to apologise to Courtney. In the same vein, Heather's treatment at the hands of the cast in Action and in the beginnings of World Tour is pretty poor. For good reason- she was a mega bitch in Island, and never truly apologised for a lot of her actions.

Why am I bringing this up? Note the difference in the casts' reactions. Gwen is quickly forgiven despite being a 'homewrecker' because she's remorseful and apologetic, whereas Heather is continually vilified because she isn't.

Noah isn't apologetic for 'cheating' on Heather and Alejandro. In fact, he's about as callous and assholish as possible during his Aftermath segment, in an attempt to really paint himself as 'the bad guy'.

Of course he's getting the Heather treatment- but it's worse, because he's stuck in the same hotel as these people, and he doesn't have the excuse of a million dollars to justify being an asshole. So the more proactive of the ex-competitors see Noah as free game to harass as they see fit- after all, he's a cheating scumbag, he deserves it right?

(And some of these guys can be downright vicious when they think it's justified- just look at how Harold was treated in S1E10, just for being an annoying roommate.)

So when it turns out that, oh, he didn't deserve it? That their awful treatment of Noah- the person who complains about anything and everything like it's his career, and yet didn't so much as utter a "Stop." at their harassment- was completely unbased? They're all pretty shook up by the turn of events.

It takes a lot of the ex-contestants a few days to process that they've practically outcast and exiled someone from their group for no real reason, and quite a few of them are angry- at Noah for lying, at Heather and Alejandro for playing along, At Chris and the producers for keeping it all hidden for the sake of drama, but mostly at themselves for jumping on the hate-train so easily. So for a few tense days the hotel is shrouded in this sombre atmosphere, where everyone is too hesitant to address the elephant in the room in fear of either blowing up at Alenoaheather, or Alenoaheather blowing up at them for the mistreatment.

The kinder of them, who perhaps didn't outright harass Noah but did give him the cold shoulder (i.e. DJ, Lindsay, Beth), meekly try to apologise to Noah, but are usually stopped by his partners' protectiveness or Secret Agent Secra before they can.

Geoff, I imagine, would be one of the biggest perpetrators of Noah's bullying; he's already shown a canonical inclination towards Getting A Little Silly Sometimes, plus with his and Bridgette's whole pseudo-cheating drama he'd be far more ruthless towards 'cheaters' than most, even if his dislike of Alejandro initially prompts him to commend Noah's actions. For all of this, however, Geoff is a pretty moral guy- he'd be the first to successfully apologise to Noah, by means of literally shouting across the breakfast hall as soon as he snuck walked in. (Noah's still in the habit of sneaking in and out of meals.)

Noah shrugs it off- he doesn't want to make a huge deal out of the situation, understandably- saying it wasn't a huge deal and that everyone was justified in thinking he was an awful person. That reassures everyone present that Alenoaheather don't hate them, and thus more people scamper to reconcile with them, bridging the metaphysical gap between both groups.

Geoff even ends up offering to throw a 'Noah isn't an awful person' party in his honour. Noah, of course, declines the offer. It doesn't stop Geoff from throwing the party anyway.

And that breaks the tentative ice between the peanut gallery and the throuple.

Similarly, I imagine Leshawna would also be very vocal about her distaste for Noah. She's always disliked him, thanks to his shoddy performance on Island and his sardonic personality, so him also being a two-timer is just the final nail in the coffin for him in Leshawna's eyes. Just like Geoff, though, Leshawna can and does admit when she's in the wrong, and she'd also do her best to make amends once the gap between Noah and the rest of the cast is bridged by Geoff.

Duncan, meanwhile, was team Noah the whole time which gives him major bragging rights. After he apologises to Courtney and Gwen, that is.

To summarise, the cast are kind of pissed about the whole 'lying' thing, but mostly just feel awful about how they treated him. Once things have been given time to settle, the air is eventually cleared and the Total Drama cast go back to their status quo. Something something happy ending?
