who’s this freak

a few weeks ago i wasn’t really into mobswitch. i thought it was interesting but i could never really dig my teeth into it. and then last week the thought popped into my head “what if innovator had a fucked up magician thing going on” and i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. and now i’m going to share it all with you. thank you to @inkwell-intermission​ for helping me with the magicians outfit and for also developing with me our little mobswitch au. you’re everything to me

(more under cut)

he’s a bit more “off-kilter” (as the mspa wiki calls pi) than pickle inspector, but in a “"fun”" way. he’s sort of like a jester-esque character... classic magician shit. a little bit over the top and enthusiastic about what he does

what he does is, as it says in the job description, magic. he performs at casinos run by the twilight scoundrels doing all sorts of stuff. sometimes people get killed in front of a live audience. its fine!

he has a whole range of abilities that stem from him pretty much being his own patron horrorterror (dpi). he could probably do anything he wanted since he’s pretty much a god, but he doesn’t bother with like. taking over the world or anything because then who would he perform for? that doesn’t sound like very much fun.

he also could be the boss of the scoundrels but he lets scofflaw do it because 1) scoff has enough inferiority issues already so he might as well give him something to do and 2) as stated by eugene, "if he’s busy making phone calls and breaking kneecaps and setting up supply chains and counterfeiting rings and rigging casinos then he has no time to perform or for his pet projects (deadeye)"

did i mention he loves performing? he does. a lot. he wears sleeve garters and keeps his clothing relatively tight because he’s not performing some low-brow sleight-of-hand (in front of an audience at least), he’s performing Real Magic. also he hates cheating and people who cheat at his games. if there��s anything he absolutely does Not do it’s cheating

one of his specialties is changing what’s on the face of a playing card to look like a trap of some sort. (pulls out a card) “is this your card?” and then the person finds themselves in that trap suddenly. maybe like an enclosed water tank that the person is tied  up in and cant get out of and at the last minute they’re suddenly back out of the tank on their feet (before they collapse of course)

sometimes he does acrobatics/trapeze shit at his show just because i think it’s fun

sometimes he’ll goop-ify himself or just start oozing from his eyes or whatever. his whole body can start melting whenever he wants he’s so gross. along this vein he can also distort himself to look like other people (especially whoever it is he’s confronting)

innovator goop is like oil. because of this he is Very Very weak against fire. he cannot get too close to it without risking burning up.

worst part of this is, much like my idea of pickle inspector, innovator is very cold-sensitive. to counteract that on top of wearing very warm clothes during the cold seasons he also insulates his clothes with shadow magic to keep himself warm. usually wears gloves unless it’s warm enough out that he doesn’t need them

nefarious bawd acts as his assistant on occasion during shows. they are both [THIS POST HAS BEEN REMOVED BY THE MODERATORS]

he and deadeye detective are also both [THIS POST HAS BEEN REMOVED BY THE MODERATORS].

im probably forgetting other stuff but Whatever. i hope you guys like my idea of this little freak

Remastered Schema-Switched AU

Ladies and gentleman! After realizing that someone liked the post, and because I have recently uploaded (last month in fact) the Spook Schema AU for The Felt... well, I decided to update this!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peccant Scofflaw - Eh... his was the only one that I liked. Being a God for the Moon, able to keep it night forever in the city just because he feels like it. And then he was banished because he got bored with just being a God, and also not being able to become a Mobster. So he tried to blow it up! You can figure out what happens next. :)

Pernicious Innovator - Kept him as a ghost, but gave him electricity powers. Mostly because it’s like he’s using the sparks of imagination. He haunts his home, watching over Nepeta... although he has poor views on the outside world, and tries to keep Nepeta inside the house forever to ‘keep her safe’.

Angry Delinquent - So like... Ace Dick was a Zombie. And I was wondering what the opposite of that would be. And then I realized that Nymphs exist. So I made him a Nymph with powerful strength that stays hidden by disguising himself as a the strongest man in the universe. You can tell if you found him in his true form if his hair is made of stone, and his eyes are an unnatural shade of green.

Heinous Doxy - Eh, she’s going to be staying the same. Past me made a good choice by making her a siren. Also the two Fuzz members in question are fellow sirens (but they are the bird variant) Trace and Fin.

Nefarious Bawd - Again, she’s staying the same. She’s a banished angel, mostly because she was slightly supportive of Peccant Scofflaw’s actions. Now she’s trying to stop him from blowing up the moon 24/7. Just seeing the moon gone is enough to give her nightmares for weeks.

Snooping Scout - Honestly, I liked the concept of him being a Moon Rabbit. It would also give him a reason for him to dislike Scofflaw, being that Scoff tries to blow up the moon... which is Scooter’s home planet! Though rough around the edges, and has a problem understanding earth culture, he’s a swift learner. That and a swift runner.

Deadeye Detective - He’s staying the same. I mean... Kelpie’s are kind of like the opposite of Mermen. Having less freedom, and having few times to escape their murky swamps. He despises the place he’s stuck in, mostly because its ruining his lower half’s fur and tail.

Cheerful Demoman - Honestly, a Nekomata is technically the opposite to the Bugbear. Both are fiendish, yet one only scares and the other.. well the other kills. Though having a high kill count doesn’t stop people from trusting this adorkable feline. As anyone always says “Looks can be deceiving!”.

Heavy Brawler - I mean... there are forest nymphs. But I personally think making him a reaper who brings women to the afterlife is pretty clever. Covert love-life aside, he’s very helpful to his group when solving mysteries. Since he can aid by talking with people in the afterlife.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And for The Fuzz, I am mostly just going to state the species. I will update this soon though, so stay tuned for that!

Itchy - Kama Itachi

Doze - Merman (based upon a seaslug)

Trace - Siren (bird variant)

Clover - Fairy of Luck

Fin - Siren (bird variant)

Die - Warlock (banished because he was using his magic for unethical gains, and well... using blood magic-)

Crowbar - Harpy (he’s based on magpie’s)

Sn0wman - Snow Queen

Stitch - Wendigo (i’m sorry-)

Sawbuck - Water Nymph (because i like giving sawbuck water powers for some reason)

Matchsticks - Centaur

Eggs - Kawauso

Biscuits - Cake Monster (because SpookSchema!Biscuits in the mainline universe is a living gingerbread named Biscuit Cookie, so this is continuing that reference.)

Quarters - Griffon (prefers his beast form more so than his humanoid form)

Cans - Minotaur

The Tail End Of Chaos

You have to admit: You’ve been curious about this alternate Die character for days now. You’ve run into a few of the law breaking leprechauns before, but you don’t think you’ve ever had a chance to talk to one face to face. So here you are. At the hospital, asking for directions to his room. The nurse seems almost too happy to give it to you. If he’s been a problem patient, you wonder what she thinks you’re here to do. Joke’s on her. 

You knock on the door before entering, a small bunch of pleasant flowers in your hand. Hopefully he isn’t allergic. 

“Hello, Die.” You greet him warmly. “I’m Nefarious Bawd.”

[twilit-treaties]

A response comes, heralded by an unsettling chime and a brief, but harmless, burst of static-filled GREEN FIRE. Cairnwennhaus can write in beautiful script, when turned to it, the pentip perfect for carving lines of ink into pristine white.

@shadowedstray @spitefulspades

The letter is headed by your immediately recognizable laurel wreath, and the handwriting could come from no-one but you, radiating a kind of effortless command known only to those who study Law.

To Shadowed Stray and Spades “spitefulspades” Slick;

The original letter sent by Spades Slick has been read by the Twilight Scoundrels, as the threat contained within the communique relates directly to one of the members: Pernicious Innovator. For the sake of records, Peccant Scofflaw, Nefarious Bawd, Heinous Doxy and the target of the original communication, Pernicious Innovator, have read and understand the conditions of the letter, and that should Angry Delinquent return, he will be informed of the conditions immediately.

As none of the members of the Twilight Scoundrel require the removal of limbs to get a point, no further action upon the part of the plaintiff will be necessary. However, as the original document reads as a formal, written contract with explicit expression of intent, the Twilight Scoundrels feel it necessary to clarify upon their half:

1. The sender of the letter in question, Spades Slick, must understand that his contract is read and understood;

2. That neither he, Spades Slick, nor any members of his originating universe under his employ may enter the originating universe of the Twilight Scoundrels;

3. Spades Slick or anyone under his employ formally waive any claim to their own life should the second clause be broken;

4. The Twilight Scoundrels and all involved business, legal, and personal affiliates will make no move to infringe upon, harass, or otherwise engage with Spades Slick or any of his affiliates unless first contacted or provoked;

5. We will finish anything you try to start.

This document will be forwarded to Shadowed Stray, and a copy of this document can be requested free of charge from [REDACTED].

Signed;

Peccant Scofflaw.

Here's that thing I've been working on all day! I finished it up during the stream and all i can see is purple. I think the gals came out MUCH better than the guys, but that's probably just because I draw them more often. NB is my favorite this time ahhhhhh

The amount of carried away I got with this may have an adverse effect on me getting many other pics done tonight. (but I promise I will totally do em all)

i am only a little bit sorry, this was super fun.

Not Sure How to Title This

I guess it can be a slight mobsterswitch AU thing since it includes all of the Meddlesome Company and Twilight Scoundrels (which I need help with thinking of a monster for AD and NB... it can’t be like the originals though). And also Felt because I found it clever that they’d all be different kinds of demons, though I haven’t finished that one yet (will show all the finished ones though). 

These are just what I found most fitting, and nothing more. Furthermore I tried to do opposite to what the main Problem Sleuth character’s counterparts are.

Will not talk about all the Twilight Scoundrel’s because I have no idea what Angry Delinquent would be.. and maybe also Nefarious Bawd.

Oh yeah and Mobsterswitch was made by @selanpike I think. I don’t recall if other people helped. Also I did this on a whim because I got nearly as bored as the Scofflaw does in this universe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meddlesome Company:

Snooping Scout - I had a weird daydream where he and a fan character of mine Artistic Magician (shadow mage in mobsterswitch) were moon rabbits. Scoot hides his ears and tail better than AM does, but that’s mostly because AM has an excuse (being, you know, a magician). He originally lived on the moon before moving down to earth, and after Scoff got bored and tried to blow up the moon Artsy moved down to earth due to her home being blown up (and maybe kicking Scoff in the kneecaps).

Deadeye Detective - I had issues coming up with his monster. He was (I think) agreed on to be a Siren in the Scemastuck AU, so I went with something similar yet different. So uh, yeah he’s basically a half-kelpie centaur. But he can leave his home and go solve mysteries whenever he wants to (or whenever his ‘crush’ decides to leave him alone).

Cheerful Demoman - Another one from a weird daydream, even though it doesn’t match what people had Clubs Deuce be, I chose to make him a Bakeneko. Who mostly stays in feline form to be nearby AM at all times. Also maybe to be a thorn in Clover’s side.

Heavy Brawler - So I am confused on Hearts Boxcars too, since one I saw him be described as a Dullahan, but another was an Incubus... so I went with friendly Wendigo who likes nature. Hopefully nobody murders me for this decision (hey if I had Demo make no sense then why not Brawler?).

Twilight Scoundrels (Incomplete):

Peccant Scofflaw - I.. I actually just wanted him to be a banished moon god because he kept trying to blow up the moon. Even after he is banished he still attempts to blow up the moon out of boredom. Don’t make him bored if you value your lives, as he could easily smite you with his (totally not stolen) scythe. Oh yeah and his cloaks inside looks a lot like the inside of Lunala’s wings. Yes I went there, but that’s mostly because Lunala’s wings are so beautiful..

Pernicious Innovator - Hooray more things that make no sense, because Pickle Inspector was a frankenstein. I basically went with ‘wisps of wind that cannot be fully comprehended as an angelic being unless you are of his group or bloodline’. He still doesn’t understand with Artsy can fully see him despite not being of his group (the Twilight Scoundrels) or of his bloodline (that is, being his adopted daughter (Nepeta is a feral nekomata try and change my mind-)).

Angry Delinquent - To explain what a Dragonborne is: A man or woman born from a dragon that has the powers of a dragon and can even shapeshift into a dragon if they are powerful enough. Just don’t try to anger him for no reason, since you will regret it. He mostly uses his fire powers to either scare people into not harassing him, or to you know.. threaten people. He never turns into a dragon unless there is a ton of people attacking him. Also don’t ask about his wings, he can’t hide them and he ain’t a demon.

Heinous Doxy - Since the opposite of a witch would technically also still use magic but not be human... I went with making her a beautiful siren that mostly flirts with Scoff. Who also owns a chainsaw and taser, both of which are waterproof. She also can leave water for a few moments, though she must stay hydrated unless she wants to die... not! Whenever her bodies dry she gains legs, which was a recent thing she discovered. Unfortunately this leads her to meeting two of The Fuzz members.

Nefarious Bawd - She may be a demon, but she’s just a fallen angel. She is always worried about Inny being discovered by a total stranger (even though he cannot) or whenever Scoff tries to blow up the moon. She owns a lot of different weapons, though she mostly uses a dagger, a freaking flamethrower and a large paper fan that is used to smack some sense into Scofflaw.

Felt / Fuzz (Has Completed ones but not the Incomplete ones):

01 / Itchy - He is a speed demon (duh) who’s hair sparks electricity when he runs really fast. He can turn into a thunder bird if he needs to fly, as while he was born without wings he can still shapeshift into the mythical thunder bird.

02 / Doze - He’s a male jinn, starting as a simple flame left behind when his body was placed in the graveyard. After Scratch put the flame into a jar for weeks, it gained a humanoid appearance, however it also gained free will. He crafted his own lamp to sleep within, which seems really roomy if he decides your a threat and to use his magic to trap you inside of the lamp.

03 / Trace - I decided for him to be a Male Gorgon, the problem was that I had no idea where to go from there. Other then that he is the one probably luring people towards Fin so that way his boyfriend- I mean coworker can have a ‘snack’.

04 / Clover - Yeah I got into one of my giggly fits when deciding what demon to make Clover. It mostly came from his ability and how he keeps trying to make people dance in the source material (Homestuck, specifically Paradox Space’s ‘The Inaugural Death of Mister Seven’). So uh yeah... Incubus Clover. He’s stated to be cute enough to melt people’s hearts, and yet targets ladies the most because they are most susceptible to cute things. He is also Artsy’s waking nightmare for... reasons...

05 / Fin - I didn’t have a problem making him an Umi-Bozu (aka having no human form.. at first). He bargained with Scratch which led to him getting trapped underwater as this tentacled thing with mouths on the underneath of the tentacles. Only artists renditions are seen of this monster form in action (all drawn by either Trace or Itchy (who I headcanon in this universe can’t keep the lines straight due to caffeine)).

06 / Die - I just imagined Die as a Fallen Angel, with chicken wings large enough to make him fly, but he never does this as he is more prone to hiding in the shadows and observing the other demons... and also caring for chickens. He lives near a well where he can see humanity’s history through it. Sometimes he can be caught smiling gently at the waters of the well whenever he sees mankind being good in dark times. His halo may be cracked, but it’s still supported by his horns.

07 / Crowbar - A humanoid Karasu who used to teach people the art of the blades. He now is mostly there to make sure that AM stays safe, and that Snowman never dies. Sometimes he will kill to give souls to the other demons, though it’s mostly just to keep the demons away from the humans. Maybe that’s to not cause a war between angels and demons like a very long time ago.

08 / Snowman - I decided deep down that she would be able to cause solar eclipses around the globe that are permanent and signs that the demons have taken control of that area. She is kind of like Lilith, except nobody, not even the other demons have ever seen her true form that’s hidden by her darkness.

09 / Stitch - I did this since the theme of peacocks fits into colors, and that he has effigies and yet.. someone attacked him one day, plucking the feathers off his tail, leaving only one left. His wings were also damaged from the attack, and one of his horns was sliced apart.

10 / Sawbuck - At first I had no idea what to make Sawbuck, but then I thought about Ent’s. In a way, Ent’s are more peaceful, but this one is a demon. He is non-harmful to the humans, only draining them whenever he needs to survive. He can control this draining power, and he also lives within the forests nearby the city so nobody knows of his existence. Though whenever he is nearby he will definitely help them unless they are malevolent to nature... except for Scofflaw since he is aware that Scofflaw is immortal.

11 / Matchsticks - A fire demon (duh) that actually used to be a man who kept watch over a young witch. Unfortunately she was dragged into another dimension, and Matchsticks was cursed to become a demon with no memory of his past. He is still a bit of a jokester, and may or may not be ignoring fire safety because he can’t exactly control the flames that are his hair and tail tip.

12 / Eggs - He is a demon with slimy wings and tail. It’s advised not to touch them as he will be enticed to seal you within a slimy cocoon. This turns you into one of his own species, which means it kills you and then morphs you. He is pretty dangerous when paired up with Biscuits since he could seal many people in a slimy cocoon, put it in Biscuits magic oven and then they would come out transformed in the future.

13 / Biscuits - He is one of the few demons that seems to have knowledge about cooking and baking, but that’s only so then he can keep his magical oven to help out Eggs. And maybe other people. The good news with him is that he doesn’t like standing in one place, and mostly will go to watch Eggs or the monitor showing AM’s house and rooms.

14 / Quarters -

15 / Cans - There is a reason nobody has ever seen Cans in action. He has the most fully human form, but that’s because his demon form is literally strong enough to knock people into next Tuesday.. or maybe next month, or maybe even out of the calendar entirely!

1/2 / Artsy Magician - As I said before, she too is a moon rabbit in this universe. Only problem is, is that I never got around to drawing her. I might just sketch her, and then post an image later, but she is quite the cutie in this universe. She also is unfortunately the one that the demons decided to well.. force her to live in the mansion until she dies. She is a young adult in this universe instead of being a teen (aka Adept Maiden).

[nefariousbelladonna]

saw you talking shit about your younger self. TALK SHIT GET HIT: become younger bawd for 4 days!

Suddenly, you are not the infinitely confident and amused Nefarious Bawd. No, as of right now you’re the nervous, twitchy, infinitely anxious Nimble Broad. The one who’s only just started to work in the Scoundrels, and hasn’t changed her name quite yet. The one who quails at the merest indication of displeasure. 

That one. 

You are surrounded by cats in an unfamiliar house and have no idea how you got here. You have never experienced so many differing emotions at once in the City, and promptly throw a nearby chair through a window and crawl out like some sort of fucked up cat, before skittering off into the night of a city that doesn’t feel quite like your own.
