Me And My Friend Are Rewriting Carmen Sandiego! If Anyone Is Interested, Heres The Info!

me and my friend are rewriting Carmen Sandiego! If anyone is interested, here’s the info!

we would love if you would take a look at it when we do post it on Ao3. My friend will do most of the writing because she’s more experienced at it than I am but I might write some portions of chapters here and there

CARMEN SANDIEGO? In 2024? It's more likely thank you think! Please excuse the shit quality for some reason I wasn't allowed to upload the normal pdf and I had to upload a fucking screenshot???

So my friend convinced me to watch Carmen Sandiego and since he's watching ALL of Ninjago for me I thought it was the least I could do to watch four season of a show with a pretty decent concept but uh... yeesh, don't get me wrong the show is really fun but lord have mercy does it have problems especially the last two seasons which were just so wildly disappointing to me. It went from a show with an interesting look on morals to pure pro-cop and mostly black and white thinking so quick (that not mentioning the breaking up a found family full of people with abandonment issues) it was honestly just so disappointing so me and the friend who introduced it to me decided to rewrite it! (I will not be animating nor do I plan on doing more than MAYBE a comic or art piece here and there because my chronic pain ridden ass can not handle that much lol)

The main goals are to:

1) Flesh out characters that aren't Carmen and actually give them reactions based on their lived experiences and how they might realistically react instead of what the show needed to move the plot along

2) Having characters other than Carmen be actually relevant to the plot the main one being Chase Devineaux who we're gonna kind of have as a parallel to Carmen (trust me yall) as kind of a "What if Carmen didn't have her friends/family to ground her and fall back on" but for all the Chase fans out there (gods I hope there's some other than me) he will be getting a happy ending but bro is getting put through the RINGER first

3) Have both A.C.M.E (now standing for Administration for Containing and Monitoring Evil) and V.I.L.E be the bad guys. Also just as an extra bit of fun we're making VILE a full blown cult, they were very cult like in the show so we're just gonna make it one. Both are going to be very morally questionable and while it'll take a bit longer for ACME to show it's true colors don't you worry they definitely will ;)

4) We're doing canonical lgbtq+ rep, I know the show teased a lot of relationships and really only gave yall background gays not to say thats bad but we can do better than just a brief shot of a damn taco truck. I mean like come on in a story about a young woman going against the government for the greater good why not put some rep into it ya know!

5) We're making it light sci-fi, not like SUPER high tech but definitely beyond what we've got currently, as shown with Carmen's prosthetic, and don't worry I'm doing my research as a disabled person I know how it feels to be misrepresented or ignored so I want to make sure I'm being realistic

6) PLAYER ISN'T GOING TO BE A CHILD! I don't know if this bothered anybody else but to me it was really weird that this 16 year old's only friends were in their 20s!

Alright I think that's what I'm gonna say for now, I'd love it if yall tuned in for updates if your curious since this is a passion project for me and my friend and we're having a blast writing it!

As always I am still working on stuff for Ninjago cause I could never abandon my one true love, currently there's a Pixal drawing in progress (it's giving me hell T-T) something for Cole and Geo, and something of Sora MAYBE even Euphrasia if I'm feeling up to it.

Having said that I hope yall have a great day/night and PEACE OUT!

I'm not immune to Odysseus raising Astyanax/Scamandrius

A mix of me joking to my partner about "what ifs" regarding this alternative and tumblr telepathically knowing to send posts my way regarding the same subject matter lead to this being made.

Athena's goodbye coming sooner than anticipated as well lmao.

The reason why I chose Zeus is because I imagined it takes place during "The Horse and The Infant", with Zeus listing all the reasons Odysseus should NOT take the baby,as Odysseus straps the lil one to himself,nonchalantly.

"He will burn down your house and throne"

"Oh just that? Aight bet,what's a little arson from a little rascal-".

Still the best accidental text I got from a friend

One of the wildest random number text I’ve ever seen

mainly because of the latter half

Honestly now that I’m thinking about it, this is probably a prank text from like some random people but you never know :P

I would love,to hear more of you headcannons about Billy hendricks (the crazy serial kidnapper)

Omg tysm for the ask! I'm really glad you like my headcanons! :D (also I'm SO sorry this took so long I completely forgot abt this TwT)

More Billy Hendricks headcanons:

- he was one of those charming n friendly popular kids whom everyone seemed to like

- but when you actually look further, you find out he doesn't actually have "friends" . He just have people he hang out with sometimes but aren't really close to

- he wasn't exceptionally good at school subjects (except for drama) and he almost never do homework

- but never get a detention or any other punishments for it cuz of his acting career

- his mom was quite neglectful

- oh and he's also an only child

- he lived a very lonely life

- after his mom pulled him outta acting, people slowly stopped hanging out with him so much

- and since he didn't have friends anyway, soon enough he became very alone

- alone and withdrawn and angry, so very angry

- angry at his mom, angry at big monster, angry at his "friends", angry at himself

- he didn't get bullied or anything like that, people simply just don't care about him

- he don't know how to deal with that. He is too used to praises and admiration and attention

- even when he grew up, he could never let go of his shattered childhood dream, he cares about it more than anything

- he becomes obsessed with the whole big monster situation

- looking for big monster's cases, stalking his family, etc

- everytime he looks at Mark, all he sees is big monster

- he hates the colour orange.

- in his mind, he is still a child. he never really "grew up"

- he don't feel guilty for what he's done to Mark. In his mind, Mark is just like big monster. So he deserved it.

Hope you like these headcanons! :3
