*WILL BE INCONSISTENT*
(banner and pfp by: yours truly :D )
(currently intrigued in: Thunderbirds, Animation versus, and too much Valorant lately)
Live laugh love or something you guys :D *insert hug*
am also tryna work out a plot for a lil au (i think youd call it that)
i dont know what on earth i was on at 5am but i REALLY like dark's design (not when he was younger, that ones still iffy) like i lowk wish that was his default design lolll
might give them different hairstyles compared to their canon design but idk what exactly yet
the premise of the au is basically dark isnt as evil and chosen and dark were happier for longer together bc i want them to be happy and i dont want dark to have the urge to kill his bestie and feel so betrayed that he got punched by cho in the first place and RAHHHH
no clue if that made sense but its basically canon diveregence bc some things are different in dark's character
i REALLY wanna draw more of cho and dark together (angst, cozy, all of the above) bc GOD THEY MAKE ME SICKK UGHHH)

āScotty?ā His heart paces at the relief of being released from the hands of the monsters once more.
Yet thereās no response from his brother. He couldnāt hear a footstep, or even a mere breath.
āScotty?ā He whispers again upon no response. Albeit blindfolded, he whips his head around with a frown as if in search for the older brother beyond the darkness. āScott, are you here?ā He holds his panic.
A sudden loud scratching sound from the floor rips through the silence at a volume that makes Virgil jump.
Iām really addicted to this sentence here: āHe warily paced his feet to a rhythm in his mind, so as not to lose footing and trip, using the consistently cold kiss of the floor to remind himself that heĀ was,Ā in fact, walking.ā
LIKE UGHHH THE WAY YOU WRITE HIS LACK OF VISION AND DESCRIBE THIS SORTA THING IS ADDICTINGGG
and especially this one: A familiar feeling of exposure drenches over him.
THIS ONE IS JUST AS CRAZYY
LIKE THAT CHILL THAT GOES UP YOUR SPINE AND THAT TENSENESS IN YOUR SHOULDERS JUST UGHHHH THIS IS PEAKK
all the contrast of cold and warm is also just UGHHHH SJSHDIDJEB
Like the cold of the floor has just seeped into the rest of him and now he is cold and their touch is like a sickening warm itās just UGHHH IT TICKLES MY BRAINN
AND THEB YOUD THINK SCOTTYāS TOUCH WOULD BE WARM TO VIRRGIL BUT INSTEAD ITS ICE COLD BC THEYVE PROLLY DONE SMTH HORRIBLE AND LEECHED OFF ALL HIS WARMTH (LIKE HES SILENTTT WHYYYY WHAT DID YOU TO SCOTTYYY)

A little Cho thing to give me some fuel motivation >u<
Either way, I have always found his name an interesting thing to compare with how he is. Certaintly at first glance, he lives up to it; Many powers and technically was the hero in the end of day during the AvA season 2(?). But when upon looking closer... he's just. Well. He's more stained with blood than the blood he's supposed to save. He has far more bad doings and flaws than goods that can compensate for it.
Just a silly little thing I wanted a little drawing out of ^^
Do you have any headcanons for Chosen? If so, I'd love to hear them!
well well well i thought youd never ask dear anon >:D
ngl dont even know where to begin loll
hmm lets see...
(a lot of these headcanons were made b4 ava 12 and 13 and so mostly go over his past bc in canon his backstory is so damn shrouded in mystery)
i have a hc that Chosen keeps his hair long as a symbol of how long hes been free from alan as he only managed to freely grow it out after he escaped (and dark defo helped chosen maintain his hair after it started to grow out a bunch) :D
**by default theyāre siblings but i plan on making a slightly different design to show the difference between the siblings hc and the non sibling hc cause both worlds float around my brain :p
i also have a hc that Chosen has a LOT of issues with his identity which mostly originate from all the pop-up ads he was forced to destroy
i personally go with he/him for Chosen's pronouns but i dont mind if you use she/her cuz it just adds to his insecurities about masculinity and what it means to be "The Chosen One"
bc of his chidhood Chosen is used to hiding his emotions, but bc of all the trauma from being enslaved (got used as a plaything by alan like what he did with victim, minus the perma killing) that just meant his emotions got bottled up so when he escaped the PC with Dark he was really scared to open up, and really scared to show how sentimental he really is
random lil tidbits abt him:
this ones a bit finicky cuz i dont wanna represent it in an incorrect/hurtful way but i hc that Chosen has a bit of an eating disorder bc alan didnt know stick figures needed sustenance to function to their fullest (victim was always getting killed and Dark was only on alan's pc for a lil while b4 escaping, it was when Orange was around that he learned that stick figures need to yk EAT)
Chosen cant tell most of the time when hes actually hungry or not cuz he was so used to starving, and even then his appetite fluctuates (like sometimes he'll eat a lot and sometimes he'll eat very little).
and since he was malnourished when he was growing up it, he has pretty poor health, so his height is stunted (hes shorter than Dark, a bit taller than victim), more vulnerable to the cold, and gets fatigued easier (just bc hes tired doesnt mean he wont keep pushing himself when he needs to)
there are other tidbits butttt i just wanna get smth out at this point loll
those were like the main ones that were plaguing my mind but theres a lot of lil stuff that i havent mentioned like his fav foods being things like alphabet soup or the fact he can recall a lot of random facts from the internet bc of the days whered he sit in the corner as alan was scrollin away burning ads at the same time as reading the screen
feel free to ask any questions about my silly version of chosen and or an elaboration on any of the notes cuz i typed this all in one sitting and am probably most definitely missing details that you need to understand the headcanon lolll

I love all four of the HollowHeads but people shouldn't be justifying their actions by making excuses.
Victim is selfish, Chosen One is a 'mute devil', they both also don't think twice before they do something, Dark Lord obviously is a psychopath monster and neither his name nor his mission makes what he does reasonable.
If you'll allow me to expand bc I can't stop myself from analyzing:
(this is only Victim bc the whole post got too long, so I'll do Vic and Chosen separately, and Dark and Orange together)
Victim was given probably the worst possible treatment a living creature could be given for the first 9 months of his life. He escaped, and at first he did seem to be getting healthier. He had a solid support system in the form of Mitsi and the rest of the villagers, and we see his progress during the montage. He's healing. And then Mitsi (and probably more than a few people he knew personally, but Mitsi is the one he gets hung up on) dies, and Victim believes he knows who was responsible. From what we can tell, he then becomes absolutely obsessed with catching Mitsi's killer, to the point where it's basically all he can focus on. With one exception. Victim is also still trying to figure out a way to get revenge on Alan. I do genuinely believe he had originally given up that idea when he still had Mitsi, but losing her sent him off the deep end, and he picked up that line of thought as well. If you're going to get revenge on your lover's killer, may as well hit your own tormentor too, right? The thing is though, it didn't have to send him off the deep end. Victim lost the person he probably loved most, yes, but he didn't lose everyone. He still had Agent, and we see that at least some Rocket Corp employees did survive. Grief and anger destroyed Victim, but for all that he had no say in the circumstances that led to it, he was the one who chose to let that destruction in.
Chosen analysis part 1 (slight AVA13 spoilers):
how the fuck am I so autistic about Chosen that I apparently hit the character limit or something-
The Chosen One was also mistreated, in his case at a (presumably) lower intensity for longer. Four and a half years to be exact. We can probably also assume he didn't really have any sort of positive interactions with anyone in that time (even if he wasn't kept isolated from anyone but Alan, the icons didn't seem particularly interested in becoming friends with him). That's quite a long time to build up resentment and a 'I can't stop the bad things from happening to me' mentality.
And then he manages to free himself, and makes a friend who he escapes with. And you can tell how happy he is. In the brief flashback showing Chosen and Dark in the tunnel after they leave the PC, Chosen is the one who reaches out for a high five. Chosen has never been particularly emotive (at least by stick figure standards), but the fact that he reached out for that high five (a 'we did a good thing together' gesture) when Dark only flexed shows that he absolutely wanted that connection with another stick.
We see Chosen and Dark's ideas and mentalities start to diverge in AVM: Beta. Chosen actively engages with the game and starts exploring its mechanics, while Dark just spends the majority of his time fighting. Mind you, both of them are enjoying themselves, but it does show a difference in how they approach things. Chosen doesn't want Dark to destroy his first build, but allows it anyway. We don't know the exact reason why, but I have a suspicion that I'll come back on later.
(Also, I'd like to point out that AVM: Beta is quite literally the most relaxed and at peace we've seen Chosen be throughout the entire series, and yet he's still jumpy. He lasers a creeper without a second thought simply because it startled him, and while we know that creepers absolutely deserve that, Chosen had no idea what was behind him. For all he knew it could've been a passive mob)
Once they meet back up, it's Dark who takes the lead in leaving, but Chosen still looks curious. I'm willing to bet Chosen would've probably stayed in Minecraft for days on end if he'd been able to.
And then the attacks on animation-hosting websites happen. He didn't seem to care much for Facebook or Angry Birds, but we see Chosen start to have second thoughts on Stickpage (notice the reduced but still present fire in his hands), and outright regretting his actions on Newgrounds. We actually see in Skim's storyboards for the memory section in AVA13 that Chosen was thinking 'oh god, what have I done?' in the moment right before Dark showed up to throw that fireball at Mitsi.
The thing is, Chosen almost certainly could have stopped Dark in that moment, but he didn't. All he does is lift his hand in a half-hearted 'stop' gesture, but it was so small and subtle that Dark probably wouldn't have noticed it even if he was paying attention to Chosen in that moment.
That's the most obvious example of Chosen's biggest problem, but I can also point to him still reaching out to Dark for help near the start of AVA13, and his complete lack of just... anything for the rest of the episode until he has no choice.
Chosen's problem is that he's both way too passive, almost never being proactive in anything major, and way too forgiving of Dark specifically. Chosen just waits for things to happen to him rather than taking charge and doing his own thing, and on top of that, there has quite literally only been one single instance of him telling Dark 'no' on screen, and it was when Dark was trying to launch the first Virabot.
That being said, based on Dark's reaction, he doesn't seem to be particularly used to Chosen disagreeing with him. There's also the fact that Dark still reached out to H4CK3R after their fight and seemed genuinely upset at being rejected (in other words, Dark probably isn't used to being rejected). All this tells me that Chosen was (and probably still is) willing to forgive pretty much anything save for literal mass murder.
And remember the thing I said I'd come back on later? Yeah, I think the reason Chosen allowed Dark to destroy his build is because Chosen didn't want to do anything that might limit or upset Dark. More specifically, I think Chosen was unwilling to possibly lose his only friend. He was willing to put his loyalty over his morals, unfortunately to the detriment of probably hundreds of animations.
And just like Victim, he didn't have to do this. He didn't have to stay passive. He could've told Dark to stop, could've physically intercepted the fireballs, could've done something other than just stand there and watch it happen. Chosen's problem is that he's way too passive, and so desperate to keep the one friend he has that he's willing to ignore actual atrocities. He's clearly trying to get better (he stopped to save a random stick in Wanted when it would've been in his own best interests to keep moving, and he didn't even attempt to attack Victim in The Box until he was basically forced to defend himself), but he also can't seem to stop wanting to crawl back to Dark.
The Dark Lord is probably the easiest one to point out flaws for. Dark enjoys death and destruction, and has no interest in kindness or peace. We don't know how much he actually cared for Chosen prior to Showdown, but if there was any love at all, it's most definitely gone by the time we get to AVA13.
We also don't know how much of Dark's destructive tendencies are/were caused or influenced by the mission code, but given that names seem to be pretty important to a character's powers and personality in this series, we can probably make an educated guess that a good chunk (probably the vast majority) of it is just Dark's base personality. The Dark Lord is inherently a villain, just like The Chosen One is inherently a protagonist. We don't know if Chosen's personality changed after being renamed, but given that his memories remained the same, I doubt it. I'm sure that you could strip Dark of his powers by renaming him, but that's not going to change his personality.
Dark's problem is that he's just a sadistic fuck with no intent of changing.
And lastly, Orange, our wonderful golden child ^^' Even the most virtuous characters will still have flaws, and Orange is no exception. It's just that his flaws are a whole lot less world-affecting than the others.
Orange has anger issues and is sometimes a bit too focused on himself. That's it. He's very much the 'exhausted big brother' of the CG (despite physically being the youngest), but it's clear that he loves his friends and wants the best for them (and just everyone in general, really).
Honestly, it just goes to show how much nature and nurture both can and can't matter in someone's personality.
Orange had a bit of a rough start but was treated kindly by Alan afterwards, and became kind as a result.
Dark technically wasn't mistreated by Alan either (Alan largely ignored him, but when he did interact it wasn't mean), but still became a terrible person of his own accord.
Chosen had an extremely rough start and faced the longest period of mistreatment, and that did shape him into becoming destructive. However, he realized his mistakes and chose to become kinder by himself.
Victim faced arguably the worst mistreatment of all, and at first chose to leave his past behind and become kind. But then the source (or I guess a better analogy would be 'mirror', since kindness will reflect what it was learned from) of that kindness was taken away, and he was given the same choice again, only this time he chose to become cruel.

I realised a bit back I could try and not only draw a fake intro screenshot for Becca, but also TRY replicate the showās rendering style so I gave it a shot
Itās hard. Really REALLY fucking hard š I think I did her face twice and her hair three times, and I had to do Peregrine over from scratch because the first go was UGLY.
I donāt really know how I feel about this. Sure there were bits I enjoyed doing and look decent but I managed to somehow lose like so much of her helmet in the process (how I donāt know) and I know I am VERY far from getting the style down. But it was also my first time trying to do this so idk what I was expecting.

instead of doing uni work i was doodling my muse bc the urge was too strong :'D
i hc that during the 5 years between the showdown and wanted chosen got midly depressed and would often go to the lake to wallow in his sadness, letting the cold numb everything even though he cant actually handle it :p
god i fucking love him so much <33
please please please ask me questions about my headcanons for chosen i have so many bc i lob him and i really really REALLY want to yap abt him oh my godd
