#wander au

La creaturas ... Talking on the roof . Who let them up there

I hate this stupid Tumblr "Cannot post due to wifi" thing... Anways, I welcome you my WOY au! Called Amnesia AU where, during the ship explosion, Wander saves Dominator with the orbble bubble, but gets hit by debris and suffers severe head trauma. He survives, but develops retrograde amnesia, meaning he has no memories of his past, friends, or adventures!! 🥳

these are all drawings for my new au where wander becomes a magical boy :] keep reading below to know what it's all about, and I'll explain a bit of what you see above!

Story

(I actually don't have a lot of lore planned for this so bear with me if something doesn't make sense 😔)

Early on into his journeys through galaxies (like say maybe a few years after his big traumatic incident), Wander follows a shooting star to where it falls. Upon coming close to it, he's temporarily blinded by its strong flash of light. When he wakes up again, he realizes everything about him is.... different.

Soon enough, Wander realizes he has powers now, so he does what does best— help others out! Now with a cute fit on :]

What Would Wander Do.....In Battle?

Here's a quick segment to explain how Wander acts in battle! Because as you might know, some magical girls actively throw hands with their monster of the week. What would Wander do if he's a pacifist? The answer is that he's great at defending himself against attacks and strictly does purification attacks that don't hurt the enemy, they just cleanse the enemy of evil. Though, most of the time these purifications are more for like monsters of the week because the villains in control tend to just flee when Wander starts pulling out his banjo. (If you're familiar with Precure, you'd know this is literally just how the Wonderful team "fights".) On the topic of the banjo, you might have seen that alt text i put on the picture of it. The banjo can be turned into the staff you see there, used for the aforementioned purification attacks. Think of how he used the banjo against Screwball in "The Boy Wander". Those are basically his powers.

On the topic of Screwball, this all gets thrown out the window when it comes to him, though. Expect Wander to try and actively attack this guy.

Development

a while back, one of my favorite artists in the WOY community made a wander au, and I was like, "holy moly.....i wanna make a wander au too!!" so since may, I've been designing a magical boy outfit for wander! as I researched and referenced for the design, I was genuinely this close to just putting the guy in a cute skirt (we've seen him rock feminine outfits before, i wouldn't turn down the idea). the challenge of designing a magical boy outfit was entertaining, though, so I stuck to it. after a LOOOOT of trial and error, i finally landed on the one you see now, and i'm pretty satisfied with it (trying to design things around this guy's proportions is NUTS).

I tried to replicate the WOY artstyle and failed miserably-

He be giving "Slaying on a dress" a literal meaning.

they pretend to be a group of heroes swooping in to save people (mostly due to skizz pushing that narrative), but really, they tend to just show up, cause chaos, and then leave before anyone can fight back.

skizz 100% believes in the cause. he's the moral core of the group, both ensuring that they aren't overly cruel and encouraging the destruction of settlements that he doesn't like. he also holds a serious grudge against groups that hurt ANYONE, regardless of who. impulse also holds grudges like crazy, but he tends to be fairer about it. he won't forgive someone for stealing some of their supplies, but he'd just steal from them to get back at them, not destroy their entire camp. impulse agrees with skizz that they're usually in the right, but takes a backseat during planning.

tango and etho, on the other hand, are pretty aware that TIES is considered a dangerous and evil gang by most other settlements. at least, etho is aware. tango doesn't know about their reputation, but he doesn't think attacking cities is good, he just thinks its fun. and hey, it's a dog eat dog world, right? etho just knows about them because he's heard of them during his supply runs. he also doesn't really care about destruction, but he likes killing zombies and as long as his family is okay he's fine.
