Guys⊠Iâm am not going to shut up about this for at least (probably, wonât promise anything, lmao) 3 or more years!!
Telling the tale short: i suffered a car accident and almost died and broke my right arm⊠so i went to watch a bugâs life again for the hundred time and now i canât stop thinking about scenarios and stuff with Oliver and Phantasmo!
(I did the drawing before the car accident but today (with my left hand (kind hard not gonna lie to yâall, you can even see where i just used the bucket tool, lol)) i painted it digitally)
This drawing was supposed to be a special piece for Halloween buuuut⊠yeah⊠stuff happened⊠yayâŠ
But now i am feeling so much better emotionally with my hyperfixiation! (Thanks Jesus for making me autistic)
So i am going to make a lot of posts fusing both a bugâs life and Telltown together! Hope you guys like it!
Phantasmo would be obviously Hopper and Oliver would be Flik (and perhaps i might even use for real my Ao3 account for the longer fics ;3), here are some one-shots/headcanons for these two:
Ollie was from a different colony and stayed at the current one because some human teenagers destroyed his home using water guns inside the ant colony :(
He meekly asked if he could stay to the princess (which btw, it is going to be Lana if @malin5520 is alright with it, if not let me know! :3) if he could stay and she reluctantly agreed as long as he helped the others to get food for the colony and the grasshoppers. This made Oliver feel intrigued but he agreed and eagerly started showing his inventions to her that he was certain that could help them!
Ollie is intersex but no one knows it other than Morgel (which is a crow-crow and not an humanoid crow creature) and Charlie who he became friendâs with! (Charlie is a bee because i think it suits her :3) he uses he/him pronouns only to not let anyone become suspicious of his femininity.
Ollie is very hypersensitive both emotionally and physically: which means he letâs no one touch him (gently of course, he tries to be as nice as possible about it) and talk down to him, otherwise he either is going to cry or become very aggressive (the latter being only with foes and he knows he doesnât do much damage anyway but he will throw hands if you donât respect his boundaries đ€).
When one of his inventions goes wrong and made all the portion of food for the grasshoppers go down the river by accident, he immediately tries to hide from embarrassment and the judging stares, Lana freaks out but tries to find Oliver and calmly (although a little bit difficult) explains why it was so important to keep a good portion of food for the grasshoppers, but, as she was explaining this, both of them heard screams and quickly went to the colony to see what was happening: apparently the grasshoppers were paying a visit a little bit earlier this year and this made Lana even more anxious and desperate, Oliver knew it was something bad but he also couldnât quite understand what is the big deal⊠until he sees Phantasmo, a very tall and big grasshopper who looked like he doesnât fool around.
Phantasmo grins evilly at Lana and asks her where was their end of the bargain, she quickly tries to explain herself and that it was one of Oliverâs inventionâs fault until Phantasmo shushes her and places a finger on her lips and a hand over her head to make her sit down so he could explain one. Simple. Thing: ârule number one of leadership: everything is YOUR faultâ.
Oliver feels uncomfortable by how much of a jerk this âPhantasmoâ is! He quickly tries to stand up to Lana but Phantasmo gives him one lazy (and condescending) glance over his shoulder and asks him why he wasnât like the other ants: just pick the food, inventions are a waste of time and useless. This makes Oliver angry and starts talking back at Phantasmo: âwhy YOU guys even bother us to get food for you?? And my inventions are NOT useless and much less a waste of time! >:(â
Oh, this makes Phantasmo even more angrier but he quickly tries to cool down and play it cool: âit seems to me you are a threat to your own people by being childish, foolish, lazy and selfish~â
Oliver tries to hold back tears and continue to talk back at the grasshopper: âat least i am not a tyrant!! And i am not any of those things you just said! YOU are a-!â Oliver is immediately cut off by Phantasmo pulling his hair and forcing him to look at him in the eyes: âlisten, kid, i am going to explain how things work here âround these parts, there ainât no âhakuna-matataâ, there ainât no easy way, only motherâs nature rule of survival: the sun gives vitamins for the plants and makes them grow, YOU, puny and pitiful ants get the food for us, we eat the food and then, we leave you guys alone~ and oh~ thereâs the bonus that WE, grasshoppers, are so generous that WE protect you from other bugs who can take advantage of you~ so really⊠whoâs right here now~?â
Oliver gives Phantasmo a very sour face and was about to say a piece of his mind again until he saw Lana shaking her head, signaling him to stop talking. Oliver blushes and starts sobbing, this puts a smile on Phantasmoâs face and he suggests that he and his gang take Oliver with them to teach him to be a âbetter worker antâ and to finally stop with his foolish inventions⊠Lana look worried at the small ant but (reluctantly) agreed with Phantasmoâs decision⊠Oliver then felt betrayed⊠Phantasmo grabbed Oliver by his waist and hips and started flying off after âforgivingâ the ants mishap and letting it slide this year⊠but him (being a huge ass dick) said that they would need to double their food income for next year.
For now thatâs it, donât worry, Iâll make a ton of posts about this (be ready to unfollow me because this⊠AUâŠ? Yeah, this AU is all iâll be posting now! >:3)
(Please donât ACTUALLY unfollow me, i love you guys đ«)
