#mouse protector

Late Golden Age Mouse Militia .

Really happy with how Mouse Protector turned out. She looks much better than the one from couple days ago.

By far my funniest AU is my "Jack get's grabbed for the Innaugural Wards AU". (Dear Wormwood AU for short) Basically he gets press ganged into them, shortly after getting 'rescued' from the nine. It leads to many shenanigans.

Anyway the explanation for this particular art:

Jack really fucking hates Miss Militia.

This for a couple reasons. She didn't have the best grasp of English when they first met, so like... his usual method of 'rage baiting people until they hit first, fighting back, and then playing victim when called out' did not work. Because she did not get what he was saying. Also, she's stronger than him, so any attempts to instigate fights physically kinda... failed. Which annoys him on principle.

He's also jealous of her trigger event and history. She got blood and gore and glorious violence. He got years of isolation and slowly losing his marbles, followed by a cold realisation. He doesn't care that she lost her family, because that's like. a non issue to him. It's incredibly bizarre and born of incredibly warped priorities.

Bonus: Chev and MM start dating, and that just. Cinches the hatred. Jack actually gets along with Chev, with Chev kinda slotting him into a 'shithead younger sibling' role in his brain. Jack is completely unaware of that, and has a crush on him. He does not realise this, because his baseline for friendship is Harbinger, who he also had a massive crush on.

He is besties with Mouse Protector (yes i love irony), however that is an entirely different schema, because MP is a girl, so he doesn't get quite the same crossed wires. They are both instigators, and honestly MP's brand of 'causing problems on purpose' is pretty good for him. Ways to act out without resorting to maiming people.

Anyway this leads to MP and Jack both attempting to mess with Chev and MM on their dates, but MP actually getting kinda concerned because hey buddy uh. You seem genuinely mad about this.

This would be great for two reasons.

1. Mouse girl-Bunny girl solidarity

2. They would be extremely annoying. Ravager will be begging for the Bird Cage by the end of it.

MP and Ravager have fun homoerotic dynamic in the original show that turns into messy and abusive friendship turned enemies in the gritty reimagining and then into an explicitly stated homosexual relationship that’s mentioned once but is easily cut for Chinese audiences.

MP has a side kick with a goofy gimmick in the original show that becomes a violent loose cannon with a hatred for MP in the reimagining and then back to a side kick in the movie but it keeps hinting towards them becoming that loose cannon in a sequel that’ll never come.

The original show is clearly made with love and with the support of mouse protector herself. The reimagining was made due to rights changes but MP thought it was funny to voice her own character. MP has no opinion and was not involved in the movie on account of being bonesawed.

Glad they’re finally adding this classic to the streaming service! Hope they’ll renew it for another season!

…wait, what happened to the main character?

Bonus: Some really old fanart I made a while back featuring my usual design for MP (the above being a kid friendly / “easier to animate” version). Comes from a ttrpg campaign that my friend ran (which is what got me into Worm funnily enough) where Mouse Protector was alive and helped the party fight the S9
