#Stanimal Planet

[irokwashere]

I'm thinking about that Henri's web ask I sent PCE the other day and keep cackling

Because like- imagine one of the Spider's names is Craig, and like

Kyle: that's you in another universe

Craig:

Craig: why...?

Stan: yeah.

Craig: I ASKED WHY NOT YES OR NO

Stan: Y E S

I know I said hypothermia Stan in the past, but hear me out. Early days of Stanimal Planet, Stan would actually go out in the field environment, shoot footage out in actual animal habitats. Stay with me here; they finish up shooting an episode in the arctic, Stan catches sight of a baby penguin or something caught in ice, he goes to help in- Kyle rushes in after him, he's like "STAN NO THE ICE MIGHT BE UNSTABLE" and it's KYLE who falls through instead of Stan

And it's because of that experience alone, Stan starts just doing it at their facility because he CANNOT let KYLE get hurt out there in the world again, because the GUILT OF IT ALL - Irok

GOOD SHIT RIGHT THERE!!! GOOOOOOD SHIT!!!

I always love me a good hurt Kyle / guilty Stan, and that’s a DELECTABLE SCENARIO!!! Call me McDonald’s bc IM LOVIN IT!!!

Poor Stan blaming himself so hard oh my god

   In a slight timey-wimey liberty, the Doctor had added Andy Murray’s final title win, from late 2019, after the ‘learning to walk again’ section which had included the US Open 2020. Murray had come back from two sets to love down in that 2020 match, of course, in classic heroic fashion, but it had still been his first grand slam specifically back because of a variety of circumstances (a secondary injury and a global pandemic.) The winning of this smaller tournament, the moment of a trophy being lifted after all had seemed lost, that deserved a song of its own.

I am a mountain

I am the sea

You can’t take that away from me

   So sue me, Lords of Time, the Doctor thought to himself, I like a big moment.

   The match had been indoors in the autumn of 2019, against the provider of the large teddy bear to Murray’s hospital bed, Stan Wawrinka. The Doctor was pleased to hear Rogue gasp when he recognised him.

   “Yes, Stan the Man himself,” said the Doctor. “The Stanimal. The one whose French Open semi-final finished off the Murray hip once and for all. And his own knee, to be honest.”

   “That was ages ago,” said Rogue, putting his hand to his mouth. “That was before the horror show when he was limping around the grassy British court.”

   “Wimbledon,” supplied the Doctor.

   “Yes, that’s the one. What a long way back, only to see him again,” said Rogue.

   “Well, enjoy it this time around,” said the Doctor.

   “Enjoy?” Rogue looked at him with wide eyes, the bright lights in the ceiling of the indoor tennis arena bouncing off the whites.

   “Enjoy,” the Doctor promised.

   Rogue did not seem so sure about this at first as Wawrinka got off to a good start in Murray's first service game, even generating a break point, and another. Andy started rambling and grumbling to himself, though in a way that seemed to make Rogue smile. On the third break point, Wawrinka broke serve. The Doctor snuggled into Rogue's side and patted him on the back, settling in for a long one.

   Well, there went the first set, and before the Doctor knew it Wawrinka had generated - and taken - another break point in the second set. Rogue's tension was palpable in his hardened muscles, and it didn't release until halfway through the set when Murray finally broke back. Murray roared his defiance, and so did both Rogue and Ruby. Set two to Andy.

   Wawrinka broke early in the third so maximum comeback needed, of course. Andy didn't do things by halves. A miracle lob kept Andy in Wawrinka's service game at 5-4, just like the lobs from the start of his career. He worked the game, made returns, and won the match then and there, just a few points later! Then there he was on his bench again, tears jolting out of him, but this time in excellent joy. Moments later he was holding his trophy up high in the air, a mountain of a man.

   The next song was called 'Getting Old Sucks (But Everybody's Doing It)' and it accompanied the remaining few years of Murray's career. He never won another title, but it was never for lack of trying. The pandemic and an unrelated injury didn't help, then age began to creep towards him, and there was only so fast his extended comeback could outrun it.

   But then, at 11pm in Melbourne (tennis scheduling is absurd at some of the grand slams, in the Doctor's opinion), he walked out on court for his second round match at the Australian Open against Thanasi Kokkinakis, a local favourite. Kokkinakis had also been plagued with injury all through his comparatively young career, so his ranking was lower than his tennis level. He hit forehands like freaking bombs and for the first two sets it was just too much ground for the scrappy, dogged warrior to cover. This was a best of five sets match, however, so in the dead of night, with the fire low but steady in his chest, Murray began his comeback.

   The Doctor watched Rogue at that low-point, wondering if he thought this was the end, the last clip he was going to be shown, but he seemed calm, and still.

   They were positioned near the front of the crowd in the time window, and there were dozens of devoted fans sticking it out in the wee hours as the the match wore on. But the fans were understandably sleepy, and although their man Thanasi was in control, it wasn’t exactly an epic to keep them hooked.

   Andy couldn't be having that. Slowly, he worked his way back in. It was hard to say he was in control as such, because if he'd been in control he wouldn't have let it get so far out of hand. But he was always in control of himself, and how much he gave to the match. There's a confidence in knowing for an absolute certainty that you'll give it everything, an antidote to anxiety in knowing that come what may, you couldn't have changed a thing.

   In that at least Andy Murray knew what he was doing.

Rogue giggled when at 4am local time the match was over and Andy Murray was screaming his victorious heart out. "What's the opposite of growing old gracefully?"

   The Doctor grinned. "Growing old furiously?"

   "Yes, that," said Rogue. "That is what that man is doing." He pointed at Andy, who was howling his defiance at the crowd, at the court, at the world.

   Just at that moment, they heard a door open and close somewhere outside the chamber, down the corridor to the south, the Doctor thought. His eyes widened, and Rogue immediately stopped being so jokey. Agh, this night was going so well. The Doctor had really started to believe they would finally get away without any adventurous interruptions. But, as they all knew, that wasn't how it worked.

   The Doctor sighed and got to his feet. "Right, come on, I'll pause it on the way out."

   But there was a loud click, and the door of the Time Window chamber swung open.

A redesign of Eva fox. I tried to make her more of a strong confident pansexul capable women and while drawing her i got some ideas for information about her. Starting with she wasn't born with magic unlike her younger brother Eratus who was born with magic but she got her magic abilities from her mother who transferred her magic before she died of an elve disease so Eva can protect Eratus who was 15 at the time. The spear is made of an outer space material that was made to create the immortal siblings immortal and which the material can also end an immortal siblings also works on regular immortal beings and the spear is a weapon that Eva contretaits her magic into. She is half human half elve the rest of information is on my last post about Eva

I also worked out how magic would work in this universe of mine Demons do dark magic, posesion magic teloportation magic angels are basically can do all magic on the list orgs can do magic that increase strength, speed, blood cells to heal quickly, increase stanimer, increase durability. Elves and humans can do element magic which is a main reason why most humans don't have magic because of destroying the planet thing.

Aight the hoemies can have a snippet before I go into work. God I love style

Stanimal Planet Kyle BEGGING for Stan to just let the professional teams handle the rescues in the field while they tend to the ones at home base… and then the Bumpy incident happens and he’s just going GREY before even remotely hitting the middle age FR.

Knees: in chronic pain

Heart: pounding constantly

Hair: losing red and gaining grey day by day

Stan: OH LOOK AN OSTRICH-

Kyle: THAT COULD PROBABLY KILL YOU PLEASE STAY ON THIS SIDE OF THE FENCE I AM ACTUALLY BEGGING YOU STANIEL MARSHWALKER THE FIRST

- Irok

I am actually and so fr constantly living for how accurate that is (I swear one day I’ll write the Bumpy Incident bro)

[1moreoffkeyanthem]

Thinking about the recovery time after the Bumpy incident of Stanimal planet and Cartman making a “croc snacc” joke and Kyle going absolutely feral about it

How many crew members does it take to keep Kyle from drop kicking Cartman into the sun, the world may never know

Man Cartman went OFF with that shit, his podcast was FOCUSED on Stan’s run in with a crocodile. Kyle actually earned himself a restraining order (Cartman broke it bc he got bored) for pummeling him. Like, this short, bony, vicious little ginger came for BLOOD and by god he’s not letting up until Cartman apologizes for being a dick. Stan, laid up in bed exhausted from pt that day, heat pack on his shoulder ice on his wounds, sore as fuck, Kyle coming home and Stan just like “baby you have GOT to let it go”

Cartman’s “reality show review” podcast gets very familiar with Kyle’s angry spouse mode

[1moreoffkeyanthem]

Imagine the mini strokes Kyle has after the Bumpy incident tho any time an episode is about to start and it’s one of the more dangerous animals and how Stan would be like

“Don’t worry babe we got the ten feet rule now it’s ok”

EXACTLY!!! Poor Kyle tho that show is turning his hair prematurely grey

“Stan I am BEGGING you not to pet that snow leopard I know you want to but it WILL try to bite your face off and I happen to like your face.”

“Ha, that’s gay, dude.”

“Well then I have some news about both of us.”

[1moreoffkeyanthem]

STANIMAL PLANET STANIMAL PLANET STANIMAL PLANET (translation; I’m so fuckin hyped rn you have NO idea)

I’m so stoked you’re stoked dude bc SAME I’m over here like damn I wish the author would finish this like I’m not the one writing it smh

You know I love my ~injury recovery~ this shits gonna get sapppyyyyy

[1moreoffkeyanthem]

The idea of Cartman breaking his own restraining order against Kyle because he gets bored with no one to fuck with is so stupidly hysterical to me

[1moreoffkeyanthem]

Stanimal Planet staff (Kyle) occasionally bringing Stan a cuddly critter when he’s having an emotionally off day

- You know who sent this

I do in fact know who sent this lmao IROK ITS COMING SOON I SWEAR I KEEP GETTING EMO ABOUT HOW PRECIOUS OUR ANIMAL LOVING SON IS!!!

Please picture a sloth clutching around Stan’s good arm while he’s discouraged bc he’s not medically cleared to work with the bigger animals yet and he’s petting said sloth absently while watching the flamingos. Kyle bringing him a lemur for company.

His favorite Galapagos Tortoise very excited to see him. The petting zoo goats that will not leave him alone when he gets over the head injury enough to walk around the exhibits. The snow leopard who hates everything finally coming out to greet her human. Dolphins chattering excitedly and Stan distraught that he can’t swim with them just yet. Flying squirrels and sugar gliders climbing him happily until Kenny has to swoop in so they don’t accidentally hurt him. Stan whistling at the birds bc he’s a Disney goddamn princess. FUCK

[1moreoffkeyanthem]

I might make you slightly cry with this but one of the letters is totally written by a younger kiddo and the letter is basically written in almost chicken scratch but says that said kiddo has a stuffed Crocodile named after Stan because they know Stan wouldn’t be mad at the Croc so they wouldn’t be mad either and they love that stuffed croc so so much

Kyle cried trying to read it

HELP dude omg I’m

[1moreoffkeyanthem]

Randy is banned from every building associated with Stanimal Planet; he tries to use it to promote Tegridy Farms but Kyle blocks that shit legally REAL quick.

Randy: I’ll sponsor!

Kyle, looking directly into the camera like he’s in “The Office”, before slamming the door:

Actually so deadass. Kyle is NOT having it

[1moreoffkeyanthem]

I just rewatched the episode where Stan was like “AAAAA SNAKE!!” and Kyle was like “that’s just a branch” and like

Stanimal planet

Kenny always fucks with Stan by leaving a branch on his desk and calling Stan like “dude one of the snakes escaped” and Stan just bolts in and is like “are you fucking serious” and Kenny and Kyle are just LAUGHING at him and he’s so OVER IT and throws the branch out the window.

- Irok

Yessss oh my god iconic

[1moreoffkeyanthem]

I have this overwhelming urge to write hypothermic Stan but it’s the Stanimal planet AU and his animal adoring ass falls through ice while trying to rescue a penguin or polar bear cub or something and poor Kyle is just “WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO YOURSELF!?”

And the urge to title it “Previously on Stanimal Planet….” is absolutely sending me. - Irok

FUCKING DO IT!!!! YOU KNOW I LOVE HYPOTHERMIC STAN AND OFC STANIMAL PLANET
