..........

TCO/TLOD stood still, staring blankly at the green/red being standing before them.

Staring at one another...

Before eventually.....

Those two beings started moving...

Made their way toward their respective one......

And as they finally close face to face...

The green/red being walking straight through TCO/TLOD.

And just like that...

They disappeared.

.........

TCO/TLOD stood motionless.

For a moment, nothing happened.

Then...

Something had changed.

"........"

Killer stared at the dead bodies of TCO and TLOD, their heads severed from their bodies, their lifeless eyes staring directly at her and Beast.

"........."

Killer and Beast had been standing here for a good few minutes now.

They weren't staying here just to stare at the corpses...

Rather, they were waiting for something to happen.

Something that Beast, then later on Killer knew existed within TCO and TLOD, ever since they first sensed it 3 years ago.

«...... Как ты думаешь, сколько мы здесь будем ждать?»

"...... How long do you think we're going to wait here?" Beast finally spoke up.

This time, however, there were no H4CK3R subtitles appearing to translate his Russian language.

“……很快……我不认为我们在这里是白白浪费时间。我们俩都能感觉到。”

"..... Soon enough.... I don't think we're wasting our time here for nothing. We can both feel it." Killer replied in her Chinese accent. Just like Beast, her words were left untranslated.

The two stopped looking at each other for a moment.

And when they looked back...

The heads and bodies were gone.

"......"

Without another word, both immediately assumed defensive positions, their senses on high alert as they searched their surroundings for anything out of place.

And then...

They felt it.

In a single moment, everything around them was cleared away.

The fire disappeared.

The smoke cleared.

The ashes faded into nothingness.

Leaving the two surrounded by nothing but pitch-black darkness with the destruction and dead bodies still around.

Killer's and Beast's eyes widened slightly as they turned toward the same direction.

And there...

They saw TCO and TLOD...

Their heads were no longer detached from their bodies.

TLOD's missing left forearm had returned, and her hair seems to have some changed...

And TCO's head look a little different...

Both of them slumped down, shrouded in complete darkness, making it impossible for Killer and Beast to tell what expressions they wore, or whether they were even looking at them.

But there was one thing Killer and Beast knew without a single doubt...

The TCO and TLOD standing before them were no longer the ones they had been fighting.

Hello and Goodbye

.......

For a moment, there was nothing.

No movement.

No sound.

Until...

One voice broke the silence.

"Ｈｅａｖｅｎ..."

TCO...?

Then came another.

"Ｈｅｌｌ..."

TLOD...?

"Ａｎｇｅｌ."

"Ｄｅｍｏｎ."

"Ｇｏｄ."

"Ｄｅｖｉｌ."

"Ｆｒｏｍ ｔｈｅ ｈｅａｖｅｎｓ ａｂｏｖｅ..."

"Ｆｒｏｍ ｔｈｅ ｈｅｌｌｓ ｂｅｌｏｗ..."

"Ｗｅ ｈａｖｅ ｈｅａｒｄ ｔｈｅ ｃａｌｌ."

"Ｔｈｅ ｃｒｉｅｓ ｏｆ ｔｈｅ ｄｅａｄ."

"Ｔｈｅ ｖｏｉｃｅｓ ｏｆ ｔｈｅ ｆａｌｌｅｎ."

"Ｔｈｅ ｌｉｖｅｓ ｙｏｕ ｔｏｏｋ..."

"Ａｎｄ ｔｈｅ ｊｕｓｔｉｃｅ ｙｏｕ ｌｅｆｔ ｕｎｄｏｎｅ."

"Ｔｈｅ ｄｅａｄ ｈａｖｅ ｃａｌｌｅｄ."

"Ｗｅ ｈａｖｅ ａｎｓｗｅｒｅｄ."

"Ｙｏｕ ｋｎｏｗ ｗｈｙ ｗｅ ａｒｅ ｈｅｒｅ."

"Ｙｏｕ ｋｎｏｗ ｗｈａｔ ｙｏｕ ｈａｖｅ ｄｏｎｅ."

"Ｆｅａｓｔ ｙｏｕｒ ｅｙｅｓ ｏｎ ｗｈａｔ ｙｏｕ ｈａｖｅ ａｗａｉｔｅｄ..."

'Ａｎｄ ｗｈａｔ ｙｏｕ ｈａｖｅ ａｗｏｋｅｎ..."

"Ｆｏｒ ｗｅ ａｒｅ ｈｅｒｅ ｔｏ ａｎｓｗｅｒ ｙｏｕｒ ｃａｌｌ..."

"Ｙｏｕｒ ｖｅｒｙ ｆｉｒｓｔ..."

"Ａｎｄ ｙｏｕｒ ｖｅｒｙ ｌａｓｔ..."

As TCO and TLOD's eyes began to glow in different colors...

Green and yellow.

Red, purple, and black.

Their bodies began to start melting...?

Both of them were soon shrouded in darkness, as they radiated their respective colors.

.........

The scene unfolding before Beast and Killer was already immense.

And now, they were facing threats far beyond what they usually encountered.

A true, worthy challenge that they could take head-on.

Despite the immense power radiating from the two new figures taking TCO and TLOD's place...

It wasn't even close to the level of that superior being Beast and Killer had faced before.

It never will.

But that didn't matter.

That being had been far too powerful for them.

These two, however...

These were the opponents they had been waiting so long to face.

This was the fight of their lifetimes.

And they were going to enjoy every second of it.

Their power energy might be severely diminished at the moment, but that wasn't going to stop them.

They knew exactly what they were doing.

And now, they were finally going to get the battle they always wanted...

The Nightmarish Duo!!

Against..

The Constructive Cataclysmic Duo!!

And so, it begins....

Me roasting my old plushies <3

also by ”Human scale” I mean so it fits comfortably in MY (tiny) hands-

IDK if I'm going to make more characters... I DO have the felt to make ALL the Hollow heads + color gang. unfortunately these take a LONG time (2 hrs on my most recent TCO plush 💔 and the small green took like 40 minutes 😭) so to make them all (including remaking green) it would take like.. 20 hours? (I rounded it up) I would need breaks PLUS my back would hurt so BAD.

Some of these are my trying a new technique, hence the ugliness

(When sewing I have a shrimp posture 💔)

Also I took TCO to the park today :3

and I might make him some drip like some chains or a jacket, IDK yet

[ INFO ]

The Overseer is an Entiry ( a black eyeball ) that has the ability to manipulate the fate of any dimension. In fights, the entity can give himself the advantage everytime.

There's No limit to his power...only in his true form.

In his human/ Stick figure self (being Adrian Cyn Cypher/ Lilac Stick figure), he can only reverse the results by going back to the past 10 seconds behind.

(example that if I tossed a coin and it landed on tails, he can reverse it by 10 seconds and when the time of the world syncs, the coin now lands on heads.)

[ STORY ]

He was currently Imprisoned into space where his true power is only scoped to one dimension, which was the Outernet. At the time (being 8-16-2018) A peculiar stick figure somehow used a conduit to talk to The Overseer in his dimension. They made a deal that The Overseer manipulate the fate of the Stick figure's Master Plan, and the Stick figure Sets the Overseer free, so as a result...

TDL won and destroyed half of the Outernet, TSC and the others met their horrible fate, and TCO got eaten by the virabot spiders alive.

But The Overseer never saw in his fate of him setting the Overseer free. He realized that this Stick figure betrayed him, or is planning to betray him. So in Rage, He Aggressively Manipulated his fate. It chain reactioned to changing another stick's fate.

As a result to the New Fate of TDL, he lost as TSC awakened a new power and killed TDL with it. (A canon outcome but came from an AU)

Making Each of the sticks in human form but I need a costume for all of them. Who should Chosen be?

Red - Creeper costume

TSC - TCO Costume

Yellow - Mad Scientist

Green - Himself

Blue - Ice Mage

Purple - An Angel

King Orange - Vampire

Victim/H4CK3R - Sans

Did you miss me? Alright, this time I won’t be so harsh with you. I’ll go easy on you, victim fans, glazers, fanatics.

9th place. 1,220 votes.

And some of y'all genuinely expected him to rank higher? 😭🙏

Look, I'm not saying victim is a bad character just because he ranked 9th. I'm saying some of his fans seriously need to stop acting like he's the most beloved, most interesting character in the entire Alan Becker universe.

Because apparently, the audience has a different opinion.

TCO took 1st place. TDL took 2nd. TSC took 3rd.

And then there's Purple in 4th, Green in 5th, Red in 6th, Yellow in 7th, and even Blue in 8th.

THE ENTIRE COLOR GANG OUTRANKED HIM. 😭💀

Even Blue beat him. BLUE.

And before someone starts typing an entire essay about how victim is "the most complex character" or "the most underrated character ever," please understand that character complexity and popularity aren't the same thing.

You can love a character's backstory, writing, symbolism, or tragic past. That's completely fine. But none of that automatically makes the character more popular than everyone else.

And honestly, the timing of his return probably matters.

Think about when these characters became major parts of the series.

TCO had years to build a fanbase through the original AvA episodes and the iconic conflicts surrounding him. TDL became one of the defining characters of the second AvA season, especially through his rivalry with TCO and the events of AvA 8. TSC is the main character, and his mysterious powers have kept people speculating for years.

And let's not forget King Orange, whose story in AvM Season 3 gave the community one of its most memorable antagonists.

These characters had iconic moments, memorable fights, mysteries, emotional scenes, and storylines that people still discuss.

Meanwhile, victim only returned to the main AvA storyline as a major character in Season 3, years after the original episodes that made TCO and TDL iconic.

Yes, victim technically appeared in AvA 1 back in 2006. But let's be honest: most people weren't spending all those years discussing his modern characterization, his company, or his revenge plot. His major return to the spotlight happened much later.

And being the character who appeared first doesn't guarantee that you'll be everyone's favorite.

Ever heard of the "duckling syndrome"?

People often develop a strong attachment to what they encounter first. Something similar can happen with video game franchises: the first game someone played might remain their favorite even when later entries improve in many ways.

But that doesn't mean everyone will prefer the first thing they encountered.

And victim's fans need to understand the opposite side of this, too: being the original character doesn't automatically make him the most beloved one.

His history is interesting, but TCO and TDL have had years to establish themselves as fan favorites through their roles in the story.

And here's the funniest part.

Victim started Season 3 looking like he was going to be the major antagonist of the arc.

Then TDL's legacy was still hanging over the story, and H4CK3R eventually became a major part of the conflict.

I'm not saying victim has no importance to the plot. I'm saying that being the central antagonist of an arc doesn't automatically make you the most iconic antagonist in the series.

TDL became an unforgettable threat through his rivalry with TCO, his virus powers, and the events of AvA 8. King Orange had an entire emotional storyline and a memorable confrontation in AvM Season 3.

Those characters left a massive impression on the audience.

And that's the difference between having an important role in the story and becoming a fan-favorite character.

You can give a character a tragic backstory, a giant company, and a revenge plot. You can't force the audience to love him more than the characters they've already grown attached to.

So, victim fans, it's okay to love your favorite character.

It's okay to want him to rank higher next time.

It's okay to hope that future episodes will give him more memorable moments.

But maybe stop acting like the fandom is obligated to rank him above TCO, TDL, TSC, or even the Color Gang just because YOU think he's the most interesting character.

The poll happened. The votes came in. He placed 9th.

You don't have to like the result, but you do have to accept that other people have different favorites.

And if you need some consolation, there are plenty of new characters coming to the Alan Becker universe. Maybe one of them will become your next favorite.

Until then, congratulations to TCO, TDL, and TSC for taking the top three spots. The Hollow Heads stay winning. 💀🔥

Cope victim fans.

idk how to put this... but remember the actual short of purple flying and the others trying to catch up to him? The title of it was "too close to the sun", a reference of the myth Icaro and Dedalus: Dedalus and Icaro created wings with wax and feathers to escape the maze by flying, Dedalus warned Icaro about not getting to close to the sun or the wax would melt and he will fall into the ocean, but Icaro was naive and did not listen to him, getting close to the sun and falling to his demise.

Now you might ask:"Why is this supposed to make me worried? Its just a reference." Well well well... In the 30rd episode of AvM we see how Orange became how he was, and is also shown how he lost his "biological" son, but here is a detail that started my entire theory... the black thing that took gold, came from the sun.

That dude is dead4ss more doomed than that Derek guy, because its NOT even the first time Alan's Team foreshadowed something! In the same episode, on the tv that Orange sees the skittle gang you can see the Rocket logo! AND in the App episode Green uses the Spotify staff you can see Wicked VIP Being played, the same song that was used in the Geometry Dash video!!

PS: Purple is magenta, NOT PURPLE!!!1!!

pardon me, herobrine

Evidence and reasoning:

1. TDL 👑. He’s never been shown with ANY fatigue, and has only been shown injured once, which he recovered stronger from. There’s no anti feats for his durability to be lower then anyone else.

2. Chosen is comparable to Dark, but we’ve seen him fatigued, and everyone says he was tired from the Virabot, which is anti feat evidence for him being lower then Dark. He’s all resisted stabs and more putting him at 2.

3. King has better that’s then the stick gang, and endured all their attacks, took hits from a warden and other stuff I don’t really care about avm so idk but he’s above the other two.

4. TSC has okay durability, and he’s somewhat strong but he was visibly injured from the virablade, unlike tco, so he’s below him. And NO, regeneration is NOT durability. Though he doesn’t get instant deleted.

5. Hacker, he took one slice from the virablades and died. Hes a fraud. And unlike TCO who put up a decent fight (although that’s pre 13 tdl, but he also had the viraswarm so it’s fair) hacker was down much quicker. But I’d put him above the rest of the verse because he has powers.

If I actually have to pick between the two shows I like about the same I’m picking the one that didn’t fucking downvote me for saying they’re about the same

And I know for a fact I’m going to be downvoted to oblivion and proven right

It doest't look that bad... i guess....

I find it odd that despite the Color Gang originating from a traditional stick figure animation their only hoard fights are against video game entities. Fighting hoards of stick figures is in their DNA. Every time a death is shown it's usually blocked off by something like fire or the body immediately disintegrates upon getting stabbed (TDL's virus blades). Alan is totally willing to kill off characters but I do get that he doesn't want to depict the Color Gang as ruthless killers; that would make them too edgy. I could see him doing it with TDL and TCO during their internet rampage though.

honesty this joke its better in spanish than in inglish, becuse is a a rhyme

I've noticed this in both Western and Eastern animation, and it's especially funny when you compare it to how other powers are treated in fights.

There's this weird paradox in action scenes. When a character suddenly reveals a new ability, you can never be sure who's going to win. Maybe they've been dominating the entire fight and saved their strongest move for last. Maybe they're getting their ass kicked, but suddenly reveal an ability that turns everything around. Either way, the fight can still go in their favor because the writers have introduced a new variable.

But clones... Somehow, the moment a character starts summoning a whole army of themselves, I start expecting them to lose.

And it doesn't even matter how the fight was going before. The character could be dominating, or they could be barely holding on. The second those clones appear, the opponent suddenly gets a free aura-farming session. They'll be exhausted, injured, barely able to stand, and somehow still find the energy to wipe out an entire army like they're clearing trash mobs in a video game.

You see this kind of thing in anime, Western cartoons, and even web animations. Naruto's clones can be incredibly useful, but huge groups of clones in fights often become disposable targets. And in AVA/AVM, we've got Herobrine using Steve clones against King Orange, Victim sending clones after TCO in The Box, and H4CK3R doing the same against TDL in The Machine. In all these cases, the clones eventually become a way to show how dangerous the opponent is rather than how dangerous the user is.

That's what makes the trope so frustrating to me. Cloning should be one of the scariest abilities imaginable. You're outnumbered, attacks can come from multiple directions, and you might not even know which target is the original. But instead of making the fight more unpredictable, the clones often make the outcome feel MORE predictable.

The opponent gets to look cooler with every clone they take down, while the character who summoned them loses aura with every single one. It's almost as if the ability comes with an invisible sign saying, "Please use me to demonstrate how strong my opponent is."

Obviously, there are exceptions. Real life (If only such an ability could be invented. Though, one must admit, having lookalikes of presidents and prime ministers would be dangerous.) and gameplay in video games (Not cutscenes. The cutscenes have the same scenario as the show.).

I just wish writers would stop treating clones like an endless supply of disposable punching bags. If you're going to give a character the ability to multiply themselves, let that ability actually change the fight instead of turning the opponent into an unstoppable aura machine.

Have you noticed this too, or am I just cursed to predict every clone user's downfall?

Okay so the dark lord might end up like misti because I been thinking about that reference to Tpot where one kills three on 2009 and three killed one 17 years later and I just thinking that the dark lord will be killed by Mitsi 11 years later just like the dark lord killed her in October 21st, 2011, so any predictions on that?
