(flops on stage) i now present to you my very silly swap au,,,
essentially jasper is now the co-leader of the society who was bitten by a werewolf and is trying to hide it, jekyll is the uni student who got kicked out due to his experiments and then picked up off the streets, etc. jasper and rachel can’t communicate and jekyll and lanyon are living the world’s weirdest horror romcom you’ve ever seen. more info under cut hehe (feat. bad explanations and doodles)
in simpler terms, jekyll and lanyon swap narrative positions (?? is that the right term) with jasper and rachel respectively. (lanyons and rachels swap doesn’t technically work as well as Jekyll’s and jaspers does but shhhhh). Frankenstein becomes the mad scientist that attacks the society and moreau becomes jaspers idol.
longer explanation but WARNING!! it is 3am when i am typing this and i am terrible at explaining. it may be slightly incomprehensible.
so like jasper and rachel founded the society after jasper publishes his research and gets semi famous. two years before current events jasper is out on a research venture and gets bitten by a werewolf. he doesn’t want to scare rachel or the lodgers so he keeps it a secret (to his own detriment). flash forward to now and jasper gets a call to investigate a “creature” terrorizing the streets of london only to find hyde.
before jasper can process the dumpster man he is looking at hyde transforms back into jekyll. jekyll explains that while trying to prove his theory of spiritual alchemy at his university he may or may not have split his own soul. and got kicked out. and is now living on the streets.
jasper, not really knowing what else to do and kinda relating to the poor guy, takes him back to the society. he introduces his co-leader rachel, who pretty much keeps this entire thing up and running. (rachel and jekyll still become friends but she especially takes to hyde. that little brother shaped hole in her heart is still very much present!) then theres the lodgers (idk how they all swap) and then there’s lanyon, a university student at the society because it was mandatory for one of his courses. he is not enjoying it and would very much rather be breaking boy’s hearts back at school. lucky for him tho, there’s jekyll!
this goes about as well as you would expect. lanyon then spends the rest of his stay at the society trying to understand (and woo) the conundrum that is jekyll and hyde. it’s very fluffy and they learn to communicate like jasper and rachel in canon (yippee!)
unfortunately for jasper and rachel, they have been playing the “just friends” game for the last decade. im having a bit of trouble trying to flesh out swap rachel so i don’t really know if she’s in a lavender marriage like canon lanyon is or is estranged/divorced or just single but whatever the case is she likes jasper but thinks he just sees her as a friend while jasper is madly in love with her and is too scared to tell her. this problem has only worsened since jasper got bitten. everyone else tho is aware of how they feel about each other and are stuck witnessing their tortuously long slow burn.
(hyde and lanyon at some point probably come up with a scheme to try and get them to confess. it goes horribly wrong.)
so yeah. this au has been floating around in my head ever since i read the comic for the first time. it mainly came to be because of how well jasper and jekyll parallel each other and because i wanted to draw stupid fluff and older jasper lol.
if anyone has any ideas/questions/etc TELL ME!!!!! this is just a rough idea if you have a better concept go for it awhdvgevd
⚠️TW FOR GORE/BODY HOROR⚠️
Couple of folks
Edit just realized you can't see Tom's freckles and I'm about to riot
I redrew one of my characters from my old comic, Peony. He used to be based on a humming bird but I changed him to be a pigeon with dyed hair and feathers.
a lot of ya'll liked my wallmark headcanons so here's some spud headcanons <3 there might be some Sarah ones in here too. idk
gentle giant who cares about wildlife. has helped a chick that has fallen out of its nest at least once
lives in the woods near the camp, usually sleeping in a cave or in trees. sometimes visits Sarah and sleeps outside her cabin/on the floor inside
viewed as a cryptid of sorts by people who don't know of the gnarpian attack. there's probably ominous photos of him circulating online at this point
Sarah has set up wind chimes around the camp because 1. Spud likes the sound 2. it helps him remember where the camp is
probably purrs. loudly. if he can make bubble noises i think he can purr and chirp and make other noises okay
learned methods of nonverbal communication so he can still communicate with Sarah when he's overwhelmed :)
tries to socialise but regrets it afterwards
eats out of the trash near the camps mess hall i think. that or he steals the marshmallows. fiend
certified silly straw enjoyer. Sarah has a few because he probably can't drink from cups otherwise. they will have hot chocolate together
has a kandi bracelet with Sarah's name on it. so he doesn't forget it. yeah i know canonically he doesn't remember her very well but i'll always see them as besties still <:)
whenever he gets hurt Sarah gives him cute bandages i think. she covers him in stickers in general
sometimes when he explodes he just. disassembles. he doesn't die his arms just fall off. Sarah has to stitch him them back on afterwards (inspired by this adorable post)
scars. lots of them. has a big vertical one on his torso
went bald after ripping all of his hair out due to the stress of what happened to him, but it's been regrowing well!
wobbles a bit whenever he moves
HOLY SHIT THAT'S A LOT if you guys want more headcanons ummm please do say so my brain is rotting!!!
I made some DayShift at Freddys doodles
Oh while you’re here, why don’t you go check out Dialtown? It’s another game made by DirectDoggoMan (the creator of DSaF)
Oh god I hate this as well, I also have intrusive thoughts and just reading this made me feel ill.
I much prefer the take that he is just acting on his repressed wants and desires, it make much more sense anyway. The most Hyde probably ever did (other than killing ONE man and trampling a little girl) was most likely cross-dressing and over indulgence. Those aren't intrusive thoughts they're just things people want to do but social pressure forces you not to.
It's also made worse when people make it about DID as well, it makes two mentally ill groups look bad and/or evil when in reality we're the victims.
I hope the J&H fandom gets better and realized how damaging some of these headcanons are to us.
as someone who has VERY gross, violent intrusive thoughts: no, I don’t think I’d like any jekyll and hyde take in which Hyde is intrusive thoughts rather than repressed desires. my intrusive thoughts bring me a great deal of pain and they’re not the sort of thing I want to see represented through a fictional monster that gets off on hurting people. fuck off with that. It’s not interesting, it’s fucking hurtful and it makes me feel even more of a monster.
Hell's Studio Sammy doodle! and err... he's holding the knife that ghostface, from those scream movies, has
Alcohol lady oc saga where i wont tag canon charas out of embarrassment 😏
Part two who are you letting do your top surgery
(YES I know Wilson is a ‘scientist’ and Loboto is a dentist but it was really fucking funny to imagine them. To be fair Wilson probably gave himself top surgery idk. Doc and Medic can undo death but they’re not licensed medical professionals. Don’t pretend Medic wouldn’t put something weird in you.)
So update on my project already, I've decided on a design for Queen Coral that I like. I'm going to be slightly changing her daughters designs as well to fit the new style.
This design of Coral is HEAVILY inspired by Animatedwings on Twitter and YouTube.
Please go check them out and support them! They inspired me to start this project in the first place.
