Rough sketch that I envisioned as like a title card for Alvin 2.0 and the Chipmunks.

Alvin is probably the first main character to ever get a “spinoff” of his own show.

Spiritual successor, but Alvin is different enough thanks to character growth for it to qualify as a spinoff show.

Just playing a game of how many 80s Chipmunks references I can fit inside one fic. The answer is A LOT.

Hope you enjoy this sneak preview!

47 and 48 are finished! I’ll aim to wrap up the crossover in 49!

Then, we only have TWO stories left to finish this MEGA fanfic.

Chapter 44 of Journey to Excelsior is COMPLETE!

And, all my fics are now in a series on AO3, so you can find the correct chronological order!

The most interesting thing about writing the 80s Chipmunks with the Alvinnn munks/My AU munks is that their similarities and differences really shine through.

I have noticed that even traits they share, they don’t share in the same intensity.

Anyway, if I absolutely HAD to describe each one in only a few words, (a near impossible task) this is how I would classify them.

It’s hard to describe them in a few words each but if I had to it would be….

80s Simon— Sarcastic, intellectual voice of reason

2015 Simon— Cocky, sleep deprived genius

80s Alvin— Born Showman and Entrepreneur

2015 Alvin—Ambitious, Anxious (closeted) Geeknerd

Alvin 2.0–The same, but no longer closeted

80s Theodore-Helpful sweetheart and chef

2015 Theodore-Food enthusiast, family therapist and goofball

80s Eleanor- Soccer playing Team Mom

2015 Eleanor—Sassy, Chaotic hellraiser

80s Brittany—Dramatic, Self assured Diva

2015 Brittany—Bratty, well meaning Perfectionist

80s Jeanette-Intelligent, Clumsy Bookworm

2015 Jeanette-Imaginative, Weirdo Environmentalist

Fascinating, isn’t it? How the same characters could have such variation in characterization to the point where you’d describe each version of them differently.

I have art for you for the first time in a while. Coming up in chapter 48, the Alvinnn Chipmunks and Chipettes attempt to blend in while trapped in the year 1989.

I look forward to making more art of them in these clothes, and some of them interacting with their 80s Cartoon selves too!

My friend Granditamias on Youtube just bought the official Chipmunk Adventure script with deleted scenes on Ebay.

HE’LL BE MAKING A VIDEO SOON ABOUT THEM!

Every month is autism month for me!

[ID: A comic titled "April is Autism Acceptance Month!"

The narrator, a light skinned person with brown hair, says "You might see some places "lighting it up blue" or sharing puzzle piece imagery this month, but a lot of autistic people prefer to avoid that due to its association with Autism Speaks." Within the speech bubble is a blue puzzle piece with a red cross next to it. The narrator continues, "Autism Speaks sees autism as a disease that needs to be cured and eradicated, which it isn't. So to avoid that, we generally prefer RED instead!" The words "red instead" are shown on the narrator's shirt.

The narrator continues, "or the golden infinity symbol: (it's gold because au is the symbol for gold in the periodic table." There are illustrations of a gold infinity symbol and the periodic table symbol for gold, made to say "autism", next to the text.

Text continues "Not every autistic person celebrates autism acceptance month which is fine! It's optional :)

At the bottom, the narrator wears a red shirt with the gold infinity symbol on it and says "whether you celebrate or not, I hope you have a lovely month." End ID]

Thank you @teatual for the description!

Reblog if you've made at least one friend because of a fandom.

Hilo, I'm unsure if this is available in the US as well - I think it is, though I can't be certain - but the ShareTheMeal app is a really useful resource if you want a safe and reliable means of donating to causes close to your heart 😊 they let you know how much is recommended to be donated to cover a meal (it isn't much at all!), you can set up a subscription, either choose a specific cause from their extensive list or let them choose where it is needed most. All meals are provided by The United Nations World Food Programme, who will give specific updates on where and when they have delivered the provisions you have paid for, and they have provided more than 222 million meals so far.

It's just very good, and I don't ever see it mentioned on the lists of places you can donate, so...here we are 🤗

for autism acceptance month:

what are your favourite kind of autistic traits you like to write/read?

Stimming! Especially more casual stimming, like when you're not triggered by anything and just sitting there doing something, stimming. I love when characters--especially older characters--are allowed to stim without it taking away from their autonomy or adulthood.

Also noise-cancelling headphones and partners being supportive of the other wearing headphones. Not really a trait, but noise-cancelling headphones are the BEST.

I’m sorry you guys, but after the 80s and Alvinnn crossover chapters, the Alvinette brainrot will be consuming me.

I AM SO HYPED TO WRITE GEEKS IN LOVE! I have so much dialogue for it already and I just have to organize it and add the prose.

[chipmunkweirdo]

Don’t mind me, just drawing my favorite duo again.

I headcanon that Alvin sometimes lets Jeanette braid his hair.

And this Jeanette doodle was inspired by the You Belong With Me music video and it’s a scene coming up in the fic called Geeks In Love.

(Which is the second to last story inside Journey To Excelsior)

I’m so glad they let you keep the badges. Was worried they would vanish after April Fools.
