Could you explain your au a little, I'm kind of new here and I want to know the main plot, if you're okay with that of course ^^!!
Of course!
The Amazing Digital Guardians is an AU that takes place in the late 70s/early 80s. The basic premise is the same as the canon TADC—some unsuspecting humans in the real world put on some headsets and now they’re trapped in a digital realm.
Caine and Abel created the universe of the game, but they kind of had some rivalry. Now Caine rules over the main parts of the game(circus tent, digital lake, fairgrounds, etc), while Abel rules over a city called “Midnight City”. Abel has gathered various NPCs here to live away from Caine (so they don’t get destroyed), and so he can rule over them. Princess Loo and Gumigoo are trying to rally up their own army of NPCs, and with Abel’s help, they want to overthrow Caine and take over the entire digital world.
Caine has appointed two circus members (currently Jax and Ragatha) as his Guardians to protect him from various viruses and monsters that inhabit the circus. They will eventually have to protect him from characters like Gummigoo and Abel when they try to attack him. These Guardians yield weapons to protect the innocent.
So far, my basic idea is that the game is either under some sort of possession or curse, which explains the biblical themes and the monsters in the game. The story is just about their adventures, the various monsters that Jax and Ragatha encounter, protecting Caine, discovering Midnight City, etc.
So far, here is everyone’s roles:
Caine: Ringmaster. Controls his designated circus areas. Makes the cast go on adventures.
Jax and Ragatha: Caine’s Guardians, protect him from monsters, viruses, rogue NPCs, etc.
Pomni, Gangle, Zooble: Regular Circus members, who are forced to go on adventures so they don’t go insane. Pomni also MAY become a Guardian or posses Guardian-like abilities.
Kinger: Used to be a Guardian, but was taken away by Abel (exploited because of his weaknesses by Abel, basically), after Queenie died. Abel promised that he would “get Queenie back” if Kinger helped him run Midnight City.
Princess Loo and Gummigoo: Are trying to form an NPC army with Abel’s help.
This is all I have right now. It’s kinda all over the place.
*looks at jax* so, sir, exactly HOW much personal baggage do you have?

Something…happened to him while in the circus. He doesn’t like to talk about it…but maybe Caine knows something….

ok this actually made me laugh! Also don’t worry they’re uh cooking a different rabbit yup nothing to worry about
Hewoooo!!! :D How are the Gangle and Zooble designs coming along?


Zooble’s in the lineart phase, and I’m still sketching out Gangle but I’m getting there!

😔
oh my gosh—
Fuck off Caine Jax is my guardian now

Bubble understands.
Would Jax and bubble get tipsy together? 😭😂
Probably not, only because Bubble is absolutely insane when he’s drunk. Like, he’s super reckless, talkative, loud, annoying, and trying to bite on stuff and get into everybody’s business. The only person that can handle him is Caine…
Hi!! How is it going?
I made a little bunnydoll drawing based on the ask about what's Jax like when he is drunk.
So, uh, I hope you like it!!

Ps: I love your au!!
I’m doing well!
This—THIS IS SO CUTE! OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS ❤️❤️
If Jax tries to prank or bully someone, who will it be and why? (Also he's so cool)
Jax definitely pranks Ragatha and Pomni the most, and I would say that he gets into more bully territory when it comes to Gangle. But everyone gets on his case when he’s too mean to Gangle, so sometimes he backs off. But then he’ll probably start all over again the next day…
You're making me wanna draw a Guardian AU version of my TADC OC or just draw them again
Feel free to make some fanart if you want! No pressure. If you do make some, I would love to be tagged so I can see it. Glad to have inspired you!
Hi Ragatha!! :] Is Jax doing better? After I bit him a couple times...

*cutely looks towards loudnightmaresenthusiast* Today on our three michelin star restaraunt, we shall be serving our finest dishes. For the appetizer, we shall have minced jax legs with a fine sauce of cockiness. Then, for the entree, we shall have jax head filled with nothingness and coping mechanism. Finally, for dessert, we shall have all of the angst fanfiction of jax that I read on Ao3. JAX SHALL BE MURDEREEDDDDD MY BABYGIRLLLLLLLL
I—uh…
please…please don’t murder him—
(This is hilarious though)
would jax let me fist bump him?

Yes, of course!
I apologize Jax.. I got a little feral and evil there. Hope you're alright! I got you a present as an apology.. I was also very hungry for paint
(it's just a bunch of beer)


Jax appreciates the gift! Unfortunately, so does Bubble!
Why did you make? Jax so hot my gay ass can’t take it
This question has got me thinking about my art as a whole.
When I designed Jax for my AU, I really had no intention to make him attractive. When I design characters I just do what feels…right, I guess? I’m not sure. I don’t see what you’re seeing, but that could be because I’m looking at my own art and not an outsider’s lens. I don’t know what makes him attractive. Is it the colors? The face? The outfit? I have no idea. I just draw him the way I want and the fact that people find him handsome is a nice bonus, especially because there are so many other creative and interesting AUs by artists who are more seasoned than I am. But It’s nice to know that people enjoy my art and enjoy his character! Hm…
Sorry that I’m getting way too thoughtful about this. There will be plenty more Guardian Jax in the future!
I feel like I’ve been staring at this forever—ITS SO GOOD! Thank you again for drawing this!! ❤️
Fanart for @klcstar 's Guardians Au!! PLEASE go check it out, it's so interesting and her art is delicious.
I think he's charming

Also put my tadc sona, Clyde, in there! She's a bartender


Having sm fun seeing more and more of this au
He's giving- Aizawa vibes especially with those eyes- 👀👀
The reason why Jax is a star is because he has star nipples 😭😭😂
Honestly I designed his body like that for kinda no reason—I just drew it and I was like "this looks weird I’ll just keep it" because I was playing around with that star design
Oh my GOSH I used to be a huge My Hero Academia fan…but yeah Jax is super tired he’s not doing too great right now
who do you ship and also i think jax is hot as shit i would literally bomb the earth just so i can kiss him he got me in a chokehold and i cannot escape like he finneeeee bro like if he really wanted to he could kill me as long as i get to take a look of him irl okay ill shut up/lh
As for ships, I REALLY like Jax x Ragatha but I also like Ragatha x Pomni (I think it’s funny when they’re awkward around each other), Pomni x Zooble, Gangle x Zooble, and Caine x Kinger. (Edit: forgot to add that I also like Kinger x Queenie and Pomni x Gummigoo!)
Pomni x Caine is alright, I don’t really ship it that much but sometimes I see really cute fanart for it! Caine’s more of a father figure to her in this AU, not a romantic interest. I’m pretty chill when it comes to ships and I don’t judge based on what other people like.
also please don’t bomb the earth!! It’s gonna be okay, I promise Jax isn’t worth it—
i need to see more tipsy jax
Possible Trigger warning: Jax is skinny, and his ribs are somewhat exposed. I designed him this way just for the slightly creepy look, but I know some people may be sensitive to this.

Here ya go! Also Guardian AU Jax opens his mouth when he’s very relaxed, just a little tidbit of information.
Your Guardians Au is so neat! I love your art, it's so messy and full of life, and i love to see it. A friend introduced me to it and,, your Jax has to be one of my fav design's ive seen around. A more rugged, tired look to him is oddly so fitting? Anywho, don't be surprised if i show up with fanart, cuz he looks extremely fun to draw. Have a good day :D
Aaa thank you so much!! I’ve seen your horror TADC art and it’s so freaky and cool! (Sorry for geeking out). I was originally kind of nervous about posting my AU content because I thought people would find my character design (especially Jax since he’s a popular character) weird. Im so happy that people like him! I hope you have a good day as well :D

This is hilarious…and the way you draw him scratches an itch in my brain that’s the only way I can explain it!! Also, please don’t punch yourself for Jax!! He’s not worth it, I’m afraid—
And thank you for your support!! ❤️
…chat I think I’m gonna be at this for a while..
Lemme reiterate, this Jax and this AU belong to the lovely @klcstar AND ILL CONTINUE TO SHOUT OUT THEM AND THEIR AU AS LONG AS I LIVE GO SUPPORT THEM
Klcstar, I’m sorry but I think I’m gonna be hardcore down bad for guardian!Jax for a while JSHDHFH



Ragatha I am very hungry... Jaz interrupted me eating the paint off the walls. Also Jaz is okay. ..Well, as okay as someone can be after being bit.
Also Jaz still has all his limbs and bones I swear

Congrats, Jax considers you a serious threat! This is very hard to accomplish. He has now started conspiring with other Jaxes from different AUs to figure out how to stop you!
since Kinger is in the midnight city why can’t Caine just teleport him back where everyone else is or are Caine powers Limited?
This is where Abel comes in (I haven’t made his character card yet). I don’t have the whole story planned out yet, but Abel is the ruler of Midnight City (He and Caine made an agreement in the past) and technically has authority over Kinger. Caine and Abel sort of share the Digital world, so Caine can’t control Kinger anymore. Caine’s powers are limited. I will eventually create a sort of map that explains who has control over what area.
Out of curiosity, what’s Jax like when he’s drunk (if he even gets drunk)
Also *cutely puts my TADC oc in your AU*
Yup, Jax has gotten drunk a number of times, but he actually makes sure not to overdo it, believe it or not. I would say that he’s a "happy drunk"—he gets very cheerful and confident and nothing can really bring down his mood when he’s buzzed. His relaxed personality is multiplied by 100 and he also gets a lot more flirty, touchy and affectionate with others (like hugging and nuzzling).
But, on the flip side, he can also be very reckless, so when he’s super drunk Ragatha always tries to get him to go to sleep so he doesn’t do anything dangerous.
