A collection of "bad endings" that don't canonically happen in the main story of Misfits in Toyland.
In these, the main cast succumb to "Toy Fugue" - a state of mind where one forgets their identity and is mentally replaced by a new one shaped by their toy brain.

Nightmare Carnival
I had a creepy yet titillating nightmare last night that both haunts and arouses me. I was a magician's assistant with a cute outfit and a chain shackled to my ankle.
I think my fascination for dark carnival AUs bled into my subconscious.
Send be your Toyfolk OCs!
Hey, remember when I did THIS?
WELL, GUESS WHAT! I'M DOING IT AGAIN!
So, you like making OCs?
Perhaps you have one already?
Send them to me at zalcryptid@gmail.com by 02/25/24!
If you have read my webcomic and seen the funky little background characters, you'll know the sorta thing I'm looking for. Be sure to write up a little bio for them so I can feature them in the post-chapter bonus material!

Misfit Toys
The story is a sort of reimagining of the Island of Misfit Toys that revolves around a cast of characters who've all received a special punishment by Krampus. Transformed into toys, they are then taken away and dumped off on some desolate arctic island to be forgotten.

Flotsam Harbour doodles: Joanne?
Some funny doodles I did while doing some writing/rewriting for my comic Flotsam. Even though each of the four protagonists represent a different aspect of myself, John acted as my author avatar being the most like me physically and personally-wise. It goes without saying that I've made some self-discoveries since his conception and while doing the rewrite, I entertained the idea that maybe Sarah and Laurie weren't the only trans characters - that, unlike those two who show up to the scene al...

Yeah, I had Homestuck OCs in high school. I based them on me and my friends. I rediscovered them while deep-diving into some old flash drives and was inspired to redesign my self-insert and draw what they would look like now. I no longer thought Bard of Blood was the right classpect for him, but determined Maid of Hope would fit her best.
I was fond of some of the planets I came up for their session; particularly the Land of Beat and Soul for my Muse of Heart, and the Land of ...
Multiversonas
I got bored and started imagining different versions of myself from the DC Multiverse:

- Earth 21: "New Frontier Aurora"
- Earth 24: "Bombshell Aurora"
- Earth 26: "Earth C Aurora" A.K.A Grim Malkin
- Earth 28: "Mech Aurora"
- Earth 33: "A... 2023-12-25 15:20:48 +0000 UTC View Post
