Remember when we used to have AUs
>>150988848Remember when we used to have fanfics and greentexts?
>>150989116I remember when we used to have fun here.
>>150988848The fuck is Finn wearing?
>>150989462leather vest?
>>150989462It's like a soft hat shaped to have ears
>>150988848yes
I've got a bunch of art saved from our AUs over the years. If anyone wants to relive one, I can see if I've got stuff from it.
>AUsWithout fail always one prospective bit of fanart hijacked by ideaguys that the original artist burns out trying to please after an image or two more.Worse are the iterations that don't even have an artist and is merely a person blurting out their word doc notes and general concepts of "Someday.">>150989116>fanficsEither high school grade smut fics or overambitious outlines which assuming they ever get written stall a couple chapters in.>greentextsMiddle school tier writing which are majority bulletpoints of the idea rather than a loose narrative. Always saved in poor resolution or in /co/ screenshot oversaturation of images and highlights like a woman's psych 101 textbook.
>>150990770You're pretty jaded, anon. AUs were grunion runs, sure, but when you got a bunch of anons together "blurting out their word doc notes," those were fun times.
>>150989177Fun things were fun.
>>150990770I don’t care and I miss all of these. How do we start doing them again? I’m too shy to share my own concepts, especially since the biggest one really just amounts to Marvel’s 616 with stuff I don’t like snipped out…
>>150991670>Too shy to share my own conceptsThere's your problem
>>150991670We'd need enough people to be invested in expanding and "Yes, and" or "No, but" ing concepts to counteract people more interested in pushing rage and culture war BS.
>>150991748Have you read the spoiler, anon? They’re not exactly interesting.
>>150988848Adventure Time ruined the appeal of the concept of AUs since every alternate universe in that show has bubbline.
>>150991314Ferocia porn when
>>150988848No
>>150991932Is there any reason we should give a shit about the writers' childishness?
>>150993068Before the Fionna and Cake series, I could at least imagine that there were many different timelines where Bubbline didn’t happen. That thought made what happened in the main timeline more bearable. Now that I know that almost every alternate universe has a version of Bubbline, the idea just doesn’t work anymore. I can’t ignore canon.
>>150993204Canon doesn't count if it's objectively shit.
>>150990728Holy shit, Wolfbatman! I 'member!
The most talented people moved on to jobs in the industry, and 4chan has lost its place as a cool, edgy counterculture website that up and coming creators would fuck around on. There's no creative energy here any more, it's all bitching.
>>150988848>>150989116No
>>150993269>anon said, implying there’s still creative energy anywhere on the internet instead of just bitchingEven DeviantArt eventually devolved into bitching when Eclipse and AI killed it. Creativity has been dead online for years now.
>>150988848is this the right thread?
>>150994158It can be if we make it....Right thread for what, specifically?
>>150988848You can do anything if you put your mind to it Anon :)
>>150994171being cringe.
>>150993204>I can’t ignore canon.You're weak.
>>150994326Well, if making AUs is cringe, then I guess I'm just a big cringe.
>>150995014I am cringe but I am free.
>>150995424
>>150995014who on here in 2025 isn’t?
>>150995424>I am cringe but I am freeAre you free doing a request?
I've written a lot of fics for /co/ over the years. It's indeed been quite fun.I guess I would say that what's holding us back right now is that, frankly, we don't have one good, big new thing that's sucked us all in. Wolfbatman, for example, came from the extremely high-energy moment of Sozin's Comet and The Dark Knight coming out at the same time, and the entire board watching both. /frz/, and all its creativity, sprang from everybody watching Frozen because it was such a phenomenon. Ideas, fanart, and fanfics spring from the energy of a lot of Anons on one hype train, and it feels like we haven't had a single show or movie or comic that's generated that in a while.There's also the fact that, as mentioned, some of us moved on to other things. These days I mostly write original fiction and poetry; my fan content days seem to be done, outside of individual pastebin stories here and there.
>>150988848How would a Fallout AU look like? I don't think much honestly changes
>>150988848I remember
>>151002019Adventure Time is a Fallout AU.
Here is a adventure time au concept i thought of >semi grimdark version>candy kingdom is a german core helldivers society. the soldiers uses their own candy flesh to repair important war machines.>ice kingdom is where all are mixmatch of monsters live . All serving ice king to find a perfect body to save his lover>flame kingdom is a spirital land now purified after flame princess overthrow her father. Burning any form of rot and overabundance to continue the divine life cycle properly.>slime kingdom is psychedelic mad max. Every vehicle/machine is so misshapen that it beautifully works anyway (basically orcs but artistic drug ooze).>any other kingdom is merely a extension of the main four.>despite all the hellish things in the ooolands, finn the squire and jake the morphing weapon still help those in need.>everybody hates the nicknames the two give em.Bare bones but thought to share anyway
>>150988848Helper Finn
I’ve got the perfect AU: Adventure Time ends at season 2.
>>150993068>>150991932He's right though, when a gay ship is canon, it's not socially acceptable to make straight AUs anymore, especially when said characters make PSAs about how it's bigoted to want them to be straight.Defiance of canon is bigotry Canon and Fanon are a false paradigm of the spectrum of mythmaking held up by capitalist forces to hold the illusion of intellectual property and deny the common man the old fluid tools of storytelling. It's not just that Adventure Time sucks it's that no one is allowed to make their own without pointless legal distinctions to make fat goblins in hollywood happy. Quality never was a part of it, look at the slop on your TV box and tell me it's better than what Fanon can and has made.
>>151001107it depends, if you hit me with it I'll entertain it, but I couldn't guarantee I'll be able to draw anything.
>>151003901Draw B Mo explaining 6 7 to Neptr while Finn and Marcy loudly fuck in the background
>>151003901Well, I don't know if you draw that kind of yuri stuff. But, if I may ask this, could you draw Marceline trying to playfully tease her mother, Elise, in a very seductive manner while her mother feels very blushingly crushed by Marceline's flirtatious teasing action.Here are the references (in the links)https://files.catbox.moe/f98v0n.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/jm8n36.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/zaya5r.jpgPick whatever you like.
>>150991670>spoilergo on…I’m curious
>>150992411What else do you remember back then online?
>My own fanfic where Finn and Huntress go on a quest to find an enchanted axe to use to defeat a corrupted druid.>Finn learns Huntress is the physical reincarnation of Artemis. He's her Orion, and this time she'll keep him safe.
>>151003901Pretty sweet drawing, mate!
>>151003767capitalism made the good stories that made money, where people were straightsocialism made the shitty stories that lose money, crammed full of the gayget it straight
>>150993204it didnt happen in the original universe.>>150995014I got that reference, Anon.
>>151003454I actually have done extensive thinking about how objectively horrifying any sort of candy-land is. Being made of confection would suck for a billion reasons, and imagine as things got old. there wouldn't logically be any bioprocesses to refresh things, just magic set on autopilot.
>>151005871Still capitalism
>>151005901then you still can't blame it for the bad without crediting it for the good. you just have to somehow mental gymnastic your way to how something that is 180 degrees from the previous is "still the thing it was before"just like I'm sure you accept every political label your teachers put onto events in history
>>151005901>Still capitalism
>>151005914Yes, you retarded amerilard.
>>150988848We still do, but mostly in the fanbases that support their local sense of severe 'tism. Murder Drones threads had some AUs, I should know because I made one of them, and it was generally well-liked from what I saw. I remember enjoying Steven AUniverse threads when SU was still ongoing and we were still bright-eyed and excited about the loreHonestly, L O R E shows in general invite AUs and the kind of people who don't chase that kind of thing out. It's a lot harder to notice AUs in threads for shows you don't watch, AT was just so popular that it dominated the board wholly and was almost universally loved for a time, which meant everybody saw things like BizarrOoo.
>>151002645Do the creators and crews even play Fallout way before creating Adventure Time?
>>151006375that's a good question, actually. next time i'm watching Pen draw on Twitch, I might ask him. though he doesn't much wanna talk about AT, but I got him to talk about voicing Lumpy Space Princess
>WoW AU.>Finn - Protection Warrior>Jake - Feral Druid>PB - Arcane Mage >Marcy - Demonology Warlock>Simon/Ice King - Frost Mage>Huntress Wizard - Survival Hunter
>>151004366what is 6-7?>>151004660sorry, I am a finncel. >>151005852thanks!
>>151008434Fucking pig bitch
>>151008507He killed that cunt (FP) and is a better king then she ever dreamed of.
>>151009043FUCKING BASED, that's the only thing she'd be good for aside from fucking
>>151009079
>>150994158What the hell is this AU even about aside from lolicon shit?
>>150990690
>>151009194laurel?
