Whilst I am honoured you think it's mine, I wish I could take credit for the incredible Animation Error AU, any and all credit goes to my favourite lesbian @trussego // @egosarchive !!! (@/egossketchdump on IG - unsure about X as I do not have/use it.)

I am a HUGE fan of her AU, so I can only offer researched answers opposed to fanon answers. To my knowledge the AU originated from this errored frame of the show (S3E4; Mutiny on the Windbreaker):-

Along with inspiration from The Last of Us, it does have some inspiration from the OG pilot, in that infected characters seem to transform into designs more resembling the original cannibal pilot designs! Re: this post featuring Tina's Daniel design.

I am honoured that my name even somehow gets associated with this AU, as it truly sparks so much creativity in my brain. It's honestly incredible. In fact, I'm shocked that I'm still yet to do any fan art of it. Hopefully I can change that soon! :D

Been a while since I made a comic

The person in the first panel is Vivian, @egosarchive ‘s oc

Person in the second panel is Skipper, @candysharkart ‘s oc!

Do they understand the intensity of my interest in the au's nostalgia-horror? Absolutely not.

But they thoroughly enjoyed seeing me be excited and animated (pun not intended) about something for the first time in years.
