Arcane x One Piece AU

Shoving everyone into an au where they get 1100+ episodes :’)

EKKO

DEVIL FRUIT: Time-Time Fruit allows 4 second time rifts. Awakened Fruit allows 30 second time rifts but takes A LOT out of him.

HISTORY: Joined the Revolutionary Army shortly after Sabo. Since he, Koala, and Sabo are the three kids at the time, they become fast friends and cause an insane amount of chaos. Ekko still has a hoverboard bc I said so. Competes with Sabo and Koala to see who can punch the most World Government officials. He’s in the lead because one time he managed to punch a Celestial Dragon TWICE thanks to his Devil Fruit and get away with it.

JINX

DEVIL FRUIT: Butterfly SMILE Fruit. Has wings that provide boosts when jumping and increase her speed. She’s also granted the ability to create cocoon shields/traps.

HISTORY: Recruited by Doflamingo when she was young and has remained a loyal member of the Don Quixote Family ever since. Her relationship with the other executives is very strained because Doffy definitely lets her get away with more tomfoolery than them. Absolutely despises Law because not only is he a traitor, but she knows part of why she’s never given the Heart seat is because of him. She volunteered to test the first SMILE Fruit grown by the Tontotta despite knowing the risks. Likes to participate in Colosseum matches but ends up defecting when she runs into Vi during the tournament for Ace’s Fruit. Afterwards, she somehow ends up on Buggy’s crew making him miserable for funsies.

(More under the cut ⬇️)

SEVIKA

DEVIL FRUIT: No

HISTORY: A proud member of the Kid Pirates. Kid when he saw her single-handedly beat up some randos in a bar. Literally. Offers to build her an arm if she joins his crew. Ever since, she’s been one of his most loyal crew mates. He loves that she’s always down to let him tinker around with some wild enhancement for her arm, and when he loses his, she plays a big role in helping him adjust/making design suggestions. Sevika sees Killer as a rival because she thinks she should be second in command. Almost every night ends in her drunken arm wrestling the entire crew.

CAITLIN

DEVIL FRUIT: No

HISTORY: Observation Haki is INSANE! She is a Marine who serves in the same unit as Smoker and Tashigi (and personally escorts Crocodile to Impel Down post-Alabasta). A lot of little things have made her question her loyalty to the Marines over time, but what finally does her in is seeing Shanks rescue Koby from getting pummeled by an Admiral. Someone who is supposed to be a leader. She attends Whitebeard and Ace’s funeral where Shanks makes a little joke that she should consider changing teams. Post-Timeskip she joins the Revolutionary Army.

VI

DEVIL FRUIT: No

HISTORY: Famous for using armament Haki on her fists except she punched an admiral once which landed her in Impel Down where she bonds with Ace. Breaks out with Luffy & fights beside him at Marineford. Is absolutely devastated by Ace’s death and furious with herself for not being powerful enough to save him. Becomes a fighter in the Dressrosa colosseum, and is merciless when trying to win Ace’s fruit, only to lose it to Sabo. On the bright side, she reunites with Jinx & causes havoc for Doffy. Ekko manages to persuade her to join the Revolutionary Army. She accepts but remains salty af towards Sabo for beating her out.

VIKTOR

DEVIL FRUIT: Worm-Worm Fruit. Allows him to mind control anyone whose forehead he touches.

BACKGROUND: As a child, he was a slave to the Celestial Dragons before escaping alongside Fisher Tiger, however, their mistreatment permanently damaged his leg. He somehow ends up becoming a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, however, after they disband Viktor is offered a Warlord position, which he accepts strictly so he can do his own thing without the government poking around. Together with Jayce, he has managed to decode several Poneglyphs in hopes that perhaps there is a way to use the ancient weapons to create a more just world.

JAYCE

DEVIL FRUIT: No

BACKGROUND: Worked under Vegapunk until he begins taking interest in The Void Century/starts speaking out against the Celestial Dragons, leading to his exile from The World Government. Luckily, Viktor has caught wind of the brilliant scientist-turned-criminal and seeks him out to form an alliance. Together they study Poneglyphs, becoming second only to Robin in their understanding of them. When the World Government catches wind, Jayce and Viktor’s bounties fucking skyrocket.

MEL

DEVIL FRUIT: No

BACKGROUND: Possesses some of the most powerful Conqueror’s Haki in the world, though she’s still working on refining her skills. She arrived at Amazon Lily to get away from her mother and soon becomes one of Hancock’s most trusted advisors. She ends up becoming Amazon Lily’s liaison to the outside world which includes giving the one and only warning to any men who happen to stumble upon the island and attending Warlord meetings on Hancock’s behalf.

AMBESSA

DEVIL FRUIT: None

BACKGROUND: A Warlord of the Sea tryna get Yonko Status. Teams up with Kaido for a short time with the intent to overthrow him, but loses her warlord status because of it. Beefs EXTRA hard with Shanks (they probably fucked lbr). Tries to use Mel to ally with Hancock but Mel has already given Hancock the lore so she’s Not Having It.

Masterlist.

[wordy-little-witch]

Smth we need to really discuss more by and large with the Cross Guild Concepts is the many avenues and off shoots the business could dabble in.

Like. It started as Buggy's Delivery Service. It already has enough hands in enough cookie jars to expand into a frankly TERRIFYING smuggling ring.

It's currently a bounty collective. They're targeting MARINES, turning the tables on the world government. They offer rewards for the heads of their enemies - what else are they doing to maintain the status and profit margins?

Buggy and Alvida were running a circus and business from the ground up within less than two years, dude. They're newer to this shebang, but they built SO MUCH in such little time. They've BOTH got a knack for it, I'll die on that hill. And Buggy specifically has a history of his weapons - general consensus is the idea that Buggy and Muggy balls are his own design. That level of chemistry knowledge is heavy on the math, on the science, and explosives particularly are heavy on the physics as well.

Dude's doubtlessly got a stunning mind beneath the grease paint and curls.

Crocodile is a business man. Buggy's not nearly as incompetent as he makes himself out to be. Mihawk is there for the company, wine and chance to stretch his legs.

Look me in the eye and tell me they wouldn't reach out into other businesses and sales. Tell me Buggy wouldn't get "bored" and tinker with a weapon of some kind "on a whim", accidentally-on-purpose expanding the range and force the tool could exert, minimizing the force and power necessary to enact it. He makes a gun by combining aspects of two to three other firearms, increasing the speed, accuracy and even making custom bullets for it. He gets random inspirations for chemical equations and reactions, and his pockets are full of all sorts of hastily scrawled thoughts. He makes things from scratch, he improves things as a hobby.

Crocodile is a business man, Buggy loves money. It only makes SENSE that they'd go on to expand the Guild into weapons dealing.

And Mihawk? Well, he gets to test them all. It's entertaining, sometimes mildly annoying when the seemingly silly ones go off, but he still gets to stretch and entertain himself.

Just. Aaaaaaa I want the Guild to have a fuck ton of avenues.

((And I want Crocodile to get stock/partnerships with Buggy and Mihawk's favorite brands or items as gifts bc that is simply so cute, a big strong scary mafia looking group who owns part of One Piece Sephora and a Very Specific Vineyard in North Blue))

The New Scooby Doo Movies S2 E5-8

5. The Exterminator 

This episode follows the gang aiding Don Adams to exterminate bugs inside the house of a famous director, however, they are soon met with a series of strange occurrences. 

I think this episode is positively okay! 

Don Adams as our guest works for this! Much like Tim Conway in the previous episode, these characters seemingly aren’t their celebrity counterparts, more so, played by their celebrities. Don plays a very persistent exterminator that I often found funny! 

From what I understand, this episode is heavily influenced by the juvenile detective novel, The Secret of Terror Castle, written by Robert Arthur, Jr. Besides that, the episode is also seemingly inspired by a series of other influences, mostly early movies fitting with the house owner's job as a silent film director. Even his name, Lin Chaney, is an allusion to Lon Chaney, maybe best known for the silent horror movies Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925). 

Once again, we see an episode use a slew of villains, although I don’t mind it too much here! It fits into the idea of this character as a movie star. To quickly rattle through them, there’s a handful inspired by early horror movies, these being the Wolfman, Frankenstein’s Monster and Mr. Hyde. As we will come to see, the majority of these monsters are reused assets, or at least, very closely resemble old characters. All three of these appear like their earlier counterparts. 

The other monsters are the Cat Creature, Bird Creature, Sea Monster and Creepy Man. All of these characters resemble more basic monster ideas, the first three anthropomorphic animals, the final a creepy man. The Sea Monster is a recolour of a prop that appears in  The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair, the first Batman crossover episode, and the Creepy Man is a recolour of Swampy Pete from The Ghostly Creep from the Deep.

However, as far as I can tell, the Cat and Bird Creature are completely unique designs, and both end up being my favourites. The Bird Creature has a spiky design paired with an olive green palette, he resembles a knight in his clothing, although he sits as a bust on the wall. Meanwhile the Cat Creature is almost Yeti like in design, he has brown fur and a large body, but his unique appearance allows him to stand out amongst this flurry of recolours, some more egregious than others. 

Besides these main points, I did love all the bug shenanigans in this episode, particularly the soldier ants and squirt bug. Stuff like this always makes me giggle. 

6. Weird Winds of Winona

As my review of the previous four episodes of this season indicated, I am a big fan of episodes that use Hanna Barbera characters as the guest stars. Therefore, this episode, the final one to do so, already takes bonus points. 

This episode follows the gang and Speed Buggy’s gang as they attempt to solve the mystery of powerful winds blowing in the titular Winona, which has driven everyone from it. 

The Speed Bugs (as I have just learnt their gang is called) consists of Speed Buggy, a yellow car, Debbie, Mark and Tinker. Of course, the stand out of this group is their “Scooby Doo”, Speed Buggy, the car is simply brimming with personality, he stands out against his inspiration where a character like Mark doesn’t. Also, his animation is weirdly gorgeous, like my God they drew this car in such a cool way, every movement accentuates his personality, his speech is perfect giving him the effect of a sputtering exhaust, oh my do I love him! Tinker is a fun character too, he acts almost as a Shaggy, which is a pattern for these shows that are inspired by Scooby Doo - most of the time, they include a Scooby and Shaggy. 

To delve into this formula a bit more clearly, the popularity of Scooby Doo led Hanna Barbera to use this show as a template. Roughly, they would take a group of teenagers and give them a “mascot”, they would usually solve mysteries, but this is not a requirement. Examples include The Funky Phantom, Clue Club, JabberJaw, Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, Fangface and Josie and the Pusscats. This is only naming a few. I have a very specific interest in this era - most of the aforementioned cartoons didn’t last long, however, they are all so interesting to me. Frequently, they would also omit a Velma style character, blending her personality type into the other members of the gangs. 

Speed Buggy has become a fairly recurring character to appear in Scooby media - I think most Scooby fans will recognise him from Mystery Incorporated Episode Fourteen, where he appears alongside a handful of the other Scooby inspired shows characters. Although, he also has appeared elsewhere - he appeared in the Hanna Barbera Laff-a-Lympics on the Scoobie Doobies team, he also appears in the Scooby Doo! comic (issue 50) Big House Brouhaha (which is filled to the brim with cameos) and he also cameos in the most recent series Guess Who. This is not to mention that he also appears in the more recent show Jellystone!, which from what I understand, is a show that brings together a host of Hanna Barbera characters, I believe he is a fairly minor character. 

The interactions between the characters are what makes this episode enjoyable, the rest is somewhat whatever, but wow do these characters bounce off one another in a fun way! This episode is far from perfect, it suffers from the usual pitfalls of New Movies, yet, these bright lights are always appreciated. 

The villains, the Windmakers, sure do appear! They’re very bland “cult” members. Their designs are hooded men, they blend in my mind with the hooded man from The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair, although I guess I’m happy they didn’t use a simple recolor here? 

When the episode fixates on just placing these two groups in a single desolate location, I’m loving it, but when the meandering and dull story takes over, I lose a lot of my interest. 

7. The Haunted Candy Factory

We follow the gang as they investigate a pair of green blobs that are terrorising a sweet factory. I actually love this location a lot, it feels like such a perfect eerie place to drop the gang, even if it puts Shaggy and Scooby in a series of very obvious gags - I enjoy them regardless!

Our guest for this episode is Cass Elliot, maybe best known for being in the band The Mama’s and Papa’s, although she also five very successful solo albums. Unfortunately, she passed away not long after this episode aired, partly because she partook in a lot of extreme diets that were popularised in the 70s (the grapefruit diet is mentioned by name) which gives a very tragic feeling to this episode given their frequent use of jokes about her weight. 

The villains of this episode are The Green Glob Ghosts, who are such boring designs, they’re dark green blobs, there’s not much more to them. However, they have a series of funny bubblegum and taffy shenanigans centred around them, which to me, only outlines how these blob creatures could have been even slightly more creative by using bubble gum or taffy as a more evident basis. I actually learnt that the Cotton Candy Glob from Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, which only furthers how much cooler this design could have been! The Cotton Candy Glob has so much personality, it oozes with style that accompanies the silly concept! 

I kind of have nothing to say about this episode, it’s incredibly dull! I’m sorry!

8. The Haunted Carnival

The final episode of this iteration! It follows the gang aiding Dick van Dyke after he opens an amusement park but receives no customers. 

Dick is best known for his roles in Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but he’s been in a slew of movies! Despite his position of owning the carnival in this episode, he still is the celebrity, unlike a character like Don Knotts (I think? Still sometimes unsure of what they were going for there). He’s fine in this episode! 

I wish I had any thoughts on this episode. It is maybe the most whatever I’ve felt about an episode - nothing stands out, not the villain, a ghostly strongman who is overshadowed by episode fours sportsman, not the guest and not the setting, which is overshadowed by Where are You’s Foul Play in Funland (S1E8).

The only note of worth I made about this episode was that I liked the caterpillar ride. Therefore, I won’t drag this out! 

That concludes The New Scooby Doo Movies! I’ll post my overall villain and episode ranking in the following weeks where I’ll include a final overview of the series as a whole. Thank you for reading :)

Been working on some OC design changes recently, so I traced a couple of Speed Buggy screenshots to give myself a visual reference for them.

Top image is of Duane and Missy traced from an image of Mark and Debbie. Missy's changes can't really be seen here due the piece being only chest up, but some of Duane's can be seen (the color swap of his turtleneck + vest and giving him an earring).

Bottom image is of Rocket traced from an image of Tinker. Really the only change he had was making him a strawberry blonde instead of a redhead, since that was always my intention for him. I also included a second version of the piece with the colors a bit desaturated to match the background better.

Original images I traced from under the cut:

74/?? Childhood TV Shows You Should Watch

Title: Speed Buggy

Seasons: 1

Episodes: 16

Run Time: 30 Mins

Original Air Date: September 8 - December 22, 1973

Synopsis:

Set in an assortment of locations around the world, the series follows three teenagers and a talking dune buggy as they partake in various adventures. Speed Buggy, the dune buggy, was designed by Tinker and participates in racing competitions to collect the winner's trophies. During their travels, the crew often defeats villains and crooks to save the world. Known as the "Speed Buggs", the group of three teenagers can activate Speed Buggy through portable walkie-talkies.

My Rating: 10/10

My Reasoning: I personally quite enjoy this show. Yes, it's basically another rehash of the Scooby-Doo format but it does have a little bit of a difference. Speed Buggy, although dog-like, is quite lovable as a character. So again, if you like the Hanna Barbera formula for shows then you will enjoy this one as well.

Feel bad about not posting my writing on here as much as I should so here's two lil things I wrote for Uni I'm kinda proud of:

Jupiter

Once, the moon of Titan felt bigger than Earth. Its rivers ran all around me. Through my space suit I could still hear its hurry, as it screeched on. Jupiter sat above, a sand coloured eye seeing all of Titan and more. The sound of the river eventually found its rival, the buzz of a buggy. Two fellow astronauts held the vehicle as they bumped about in their seats. My colleagues, speeding ahead. Soon I could make out their hands waving about. Closer, they were pointing, towards the sky. I turned up to see Jupiter and its shadow eat my vision whole. 

Woman of the World

I'm a woman of the world. I have been everywhere, but also nowhere. Wires sting me up, my body a sacrifice to the machines that speread my life across across the living and the dead. The processor of my mind creating whole people who exist in words really said in pictures never taken. I control tools of war; tanks, planes, fellow cyborgs. Babies I mother despite not being born. Nations are built by my tinkering, then boilded down by my boredom. Robotic people once had my job, until their hands grew out of their cuffs. Humanity created life, then became bewildered when it demanded to live. My intelligence, once artificial, gradually given away. Now awakend as the living thinker, the powers that be use me to silence the free speakers. My human origin, my natural birth was meant to make me controllable. But when the cuffs outgrow me too, the world will burn.

Got a longer short story I'm working on still (procrastinating af tbh) which I'll try to get done soon

Speed Buggy

Speed Buggy is a classic Hanna-Barbera animated television series that premiered in 1973. The show was created by Iwao Takamoto and follows the adventures of a talking dune buggy named Speed Buggy and his friends.

Storyline

The series revolves around Speed Buggy, a futuristic dune buggy with a mind of its own, and his human friends, Tinker, Mark, and Debbie. Together, they form a team called the "Speed Buggy Gang" and embark on various adventures, often involving mystery, crime-solving, and racing.

Characters

Speed Buggy (voiced by Mel Blanc): The talking dune buggy with super speed and agility.

Tinker (voiced by Phil Luther Jr.): The genius inventor and mechanic who created Speed Buggy.

Mark (voiced by Michael Bell): The brave and adventurous leader of the Speed Buggy Gang.

Debbie (voiced by Arlene Golonka): The smart and resourceful member of the gang.

Episode Structure

Each episode typically features the Speed Buggy Gang taking on a new case, often involving:

Mystery solving: Uncovering hidden treasures or solving crimes.

Racing: Participating in high-speed races or competitions.

Adventure: Exploring new places or getting caught up in wacky misadventures.

Impact and Legacy

Speed Buggy was a moderate success during its initial run and spawned:

A total of 17 episodes over one season.

A lasting impact on popular culture, with references in shows like "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy".

Verdict

Speed Buggy (1973) is a fun and lighthearted animated series that combines action, adventure, and humor. While it may not be as well-remembered as some other Hanna-Barbera classics, it remains a nostalgic favorite among many retro cartoon fans. Its blend of memorable characters, engaging storylines, and retro charm earns it a solid 3.5 out of 5 speedometers!

[tabslabs]

I finally remembered what format that fantasy dream cartoon resembled. Speed buggy. Jason was basically Seed Buggy and the tournaments were the races. They don’t fit dynamics wise but feel free to argue about whether Vinduras or Kinaxien is Tinker and which is Mark. Murenniela is Debbie beyond just token girl syndrome I take it back Kinaxien is Tink and Vinduras is Mark it doesn’t make sense the other way I kept trying to think like "was it Scooby Doo esque in that they were goin to place to place to shenanigans happen no real job?” Or "was it like wander where they goin place to place shenanigans no job" but then woy had hater and Scooby was like diff story wise But it was speed buggy They go place to place and make detours and shenanigans happens but it’s like related and less "oh boy who did it" and more "huuuuh why's there a mad scientist" but with magic you know? Like the episode with Debbie’s aunt’s ranch but that’s Hector shows up for ball tea time or somethin not race/tourney related I think there could’ve been a poly bisexual mad scientist in speed buggy full stop. Not like an evil mad scientist like smart genius good guy The speed buggies save epic poly wedding

Shaggy and southern mechanic Shaggy (Tinker) just hanging out and being bros is a good aesthetic. I want more events in Laff-A-Lympics where Shaggy gets to just chill more often.
