True

Do you remember that theory that relates the Mimic to the DCA? weird right? I never get it…Well, this idea about Jackie/Mimic being the DCA's mom just popped into my mind when I remembered it and I just couldn't ignore it :P

And I bet Jackie would be a proud momma 💖🥰☀️🌑🤡💖

Honestly, I can see the DCA with some mommy issues 🙁😓

REVERSAL AU - How It All Began...

[Or: a transcript of how the beginning of Shantae would play out in the Reversal AU]

[Scene starts out the same as in canon - with a cannonball to the lighthouse, waking up RISKY and causing her to poke her head outside.]

RISKY: What the-A pirate attack!?

RISKY: Ugh, typical. I'd better warn the town before they cause any trouble...

~~~~

[RISKY stops in her tracks as a cannonball is fired into the middle of a field. It becomes clear that the supposed "cannonball" isn't quite as it seems, however, as the top pops off, and voices are heard from inside.]

???: Hey, quit shoving!

???: YOU quit shoving!

???: Both of you get out of the way!

[Out of the hollow sphere hop out a WETMAN, a HARPY, and a SCORPGAL, all in uniform.]

HARPY: Ah, THAT'S better! My wings were killing me!

WETMAN: I'm just glad I don't have feathers shoved in my face.

HARPY: Hey!

RISKY: Wait - that emblem...you're part of the Chimera Pirates!

HARPY: Huh? When did that kid get here!?

SCORPGAL: She's been standing there the whole time, not that either of you bothered to look.

RISKY: Yes, you were hard to ignore when you BLEW A HOLE IN MY ROOF!

HARPY: Wait, YOU'RE the one who lives in the lighthouse? Then...

HARPY: ...HAHAHAHAHA! YOU'RE the protector of this town?

WETMAN: What, is this place too cheap to afford an actual guardian, like a genie?

HARPY & WETMAN: HAHAHAHAHA!

RISKY: Hey! I may be human, but I'm more than enough to take on the likes of you!

WETMAN: Oh really? Want to bet?

[The HARPY and WETMAN prepare for a fight, but SCORPGAL snaps her pincers to get their attention]

SCORPGAL: We don't have time for this! The captain's waiting on us!

WETMAN: Shoot, you're right! Can't let down the captain.

SCORPGAL: Exactly! Now let's get moving!

HARPY & WETMAN: Right!

HARPY: See you next time, kid!

[The trio of Chimera Pirates run off]

RISKY: COME BACK HERE, YOU SEA DOGS!

~~~~

[RISKY shows up at MIMIC's workshop, but is a moment too late - the SCORPGAL and WETMAN rush out with the STEAM ENGINE, with the HARPY following close behind...though not before dropping a bomb at MIMIC's doorstep, laughing to herself before flying away as it goes off and destroys the workshop.]

RISKY: Mimic! Are you injured?

MIMIC: Oooough...look what those pirates did to my workshop! It'll take weeks to rebuild all this!

MIMIC: But first, I have to stop them before they make off with my STEAM ENGINE!

RISKY: Steam Engine? Is that one of your inventions?

MIMIC: I'll explain later! Right now, we have to-

RISKY: WE aren't doing anything! You're in no condition to fight those scallywags, Mimic. Let me handle it from here.

MIMIC: Alright...but I must warn you, the Chimera Pirates-

RISKY: I know they're dangerous, Mimic. Don't worry: I'll be on my guard, and my gear's in tip-top shape!

~~~~

[RISKY runs up onto the deck of the Chimera Pirates' ship, just as the HARPY is about to go off-screen]

RISKY: That's far enough, wench!

HARPY: Oh, for the love of-YOU again?

RISKY: On my authority as this town's guardian, I demand that you hand over the Steam Engine!

???: So, this is the feisty little hero who's been harassing my crew?

RISKY: Huh? Who said that!? Show yourself!

[A figure leaps onto the top of the ship, and when she lands, it's revealed to be Captain Shantae]

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: Heh heh heh...you've got spirit, I'll give you that.

RISKY: Wait...you said YOUR crew...then you must be-!

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: Captain Shantae, in the flesh! A pleasure, I'm sure.

RISKY: Hmph! Come out here to fight me yourself, then?

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: I came out here to apologize about your lighthouse, actually. I really thought this town had a guardian genie!

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: If I'd known it was someone so fresh to the business, I would've let you be, as hard as that may be to believe. It's a shame to show such poor sportsmanship...

RISKY: "Sportsmanship?" What do you think this is, pirate!?

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: Oh, I don't know - a hotheaded youngster looking to prove herself, hopelessly outmatched, maybe?

Risky: Hrrgh...! STOP TREATING THIS LIKE A GAME! Why do you even want the Steam Engine, anyway!?

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: Oh, that little thing? It's simple, really. I fancy myself an ENTREPRENOUR - I take all these wonderful ideas, and find ways to give them out to those in need...

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: Like me, for instance!

RISKY: As if! If I know Mimic, I know that if he could, he'd have gotten that engine out to everyone as soon as he was finished!

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: Oh really? Do you think he'd have given such a powerful tool to the likes of us?

RISKY: Well-

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: Exactly. I'm just sticking up for the little guy here! Spreading this wonderous device as the charming Rogue of the Seven Seas!

RISKY: More like monopolizing it for your seedy underground...

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: Now where do you get off putting words in my mouth? Uncle may have taught you how to build, but clearly, he didn't teach you any manners.

RISKY: Wh-Uncle!? Who-

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: Wait...you mean, he didn't tell you? Heheheheh...oh, if only I could stick around to see how THAT goes!

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: But this ship is about Ret-2-Go, and I need you off my deck. Men! Give her the works!

~~~~

[It's now after the boss fight. The ship, clearly damaged, starts to sail away, but not before CAPTAIN SHANTAE descends on an anchor to talk to RISKY.]

CAPTAIN SHANTAE: An admirable fight, but hardly enough to stop me! Now then, I have a Steam Engine to work with! Take care!

[She laughs to herself as the ship sails away.]

~~~~

[RISKY walks onto the dock, and is greeted by MAYOR SCUTTLEBUTT.]

MAYOR SCUTTLEBUTT: Well done, Risky! You certainly made short work of those pirates!

MAYOR SCUTTLEBUTT: I may have had my doubts, but you've certainly proved your worth as Scuttle Town's guardian!

MAYOR SCUTTLEBUTT: Much cheaper than one of those genies would've been, too! If I'd been able to find one, that is.

[MAYOR SCUTTLEBUTT walks away, leaving RISKY to herself.]

RISKY: ...Sigh. I may have saved the town, but if they knew about that Steam Engine, I'd be out of a job for sure.

RISKY: They don't even know that...

RISKY: ...

RISKY: ...Well, that's NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS! Not like it would've helped, anyway.

[MIMIC walks up to RISKY.]

MIMIC: Risky! What happened? Is it...

RISKY: It's gone, Mimic. I'm sorry. I let you down.

RISKY: ...she said something about an "Uncle." Don't tell me...?

MIMIC: Sigh...I tried to warn you, Risky. Yes, the nefarious Captain Shantae is, in fact, my niece.

MIMIC: Oh, it still feels like yesterday when I'd visit my brother and see her smiling little face!

MIMIC: A shame I couldn't lead her away from this awful path...

RISKY: Mimic, please! You can hardly be blamed for her actions.

RISKY: Right now, we need to stop her before she spreads that Steam Engine to all the lowlifes in Sequin Land!

RISKY: Whatever that is.

MIMIC: Let me explain from the beginning...

~~~~

[Skipping this because Mimic's explanation of the Steam Engine is nearly identical to canon]

~~~~

MIMIC: ...and I was almost done when Shantae swiped it!

RISKY: Hm...well, when she sailed away, it looked like she was heading to Water Town.

RISKY: If I get there first, maybe I could ambush her crew and take it back!

MIMIC: Water Town...isn't that where you told me Blast lives?

RISKY: Ugh, you're right! Well, I suppose I'll just have to put up with him if it means getting the engine back.

MIMIC: That's the spirit! I think. Just remember to visit the Save Room before you leave town. Good luck, Risky.

Idk how to explain myself really, Murder Drones Mechanical Instinct is a thing apparently

And now uh

He doesn’t look anything like this I just wanted to draw spooky boy

no one cares but 99% of this is a subtractive drawing, I started with a black layer and just carved into it with my erase/smudge brush and just added the white under that

[mindblowingcow]

Dame analog horror n is scary

so, i had to do the new render with my take on mechanical instinct N uhhhhh-

i know he doesnt have a tail but it looked wrong without it so i added it in, tried to make it look more organic with like, a scorpion stinger at the end idk

I did more art of them smh

Comparison under the cut!

its not as uhhh cheery as the original, but i think its hard for N to show any emotions besides "i will eat your family"
