Here you go @incorporatedmii!! Have I already told you that I love your AU???

KAKDODLELKIDOD THANK YOU SO MUCH ANGEL!! so sorry for the radio silence these days was spending time with family but aaaaa!! I have telepathically physically received your kisses and I wish I could directly kiss you on the forehead for these beautiful commentaries and drawings!!

First of all, thank you so much for the appreciation of his older design :) as you said, this man is "haggard". Man has a mission and he won't stop until he completes it (which would be like, forever, considering this is the multiverse) but god he's so tired, physically and emotionally. He doesn't feel bad about killing his "father" or other shitty Fords over and over again if it means his mother and his other selves would be safe. But... to continuously commit murder, processing your grief in a... morbid way, even if for a good cause but losing his humanity in the process, and killing a man that you're a carbon copy to?? The suicidal ideations and "if I ignore it it won't be a problem" are going wild in this one. Because he didn't have the time to process this trauma, feelings or even to rest. Jfc in his and Ford's possession drawing the man looked like he was completely numb, just going on automatic (wouldn't surprise me if he hadn't even actually dealt with his mother's death and his feelings towards it or anything that came after it). Cleo and Mama deserve a raise, they were carrying this guy or else he would've fallen dead atp jesus christ.

I got completely inspire by your answer of the Axolotl themselves "gifting" him his happy ending. So I wanted to do a spin of how I thought it would go! Aster finally having a chance to rest and to stay with his mother in the process.

Aster being much more taller than Ford and Stan (even as an old man) was too funny to pass. Imagine seeing your boy who fit at the crook of your arm just grow into a mountain?? Even in the height difference, Aster even slightly bends down when it comes to Stan, showing the respect and admiration he has for him. For the Fords? He uses that to threatening and strength advantage, he too has traveled the multiverse and isn't afraid of Ford in the slightest (man's probably seen everything at this point). That's such a horror point on his character.

And I'm so glad you noticed the contrast of colours between them! Stan being more brighter to simbolize his age and mindset before his drifter days and Aster being duller and darker in comparison to show what he went through. Aaaaa Stan literally turning into the sun when he remembered his boy because of the pure happiness he felt! I can't imagine how afraid he was for Aster for "leaving him alone", he didn't even had a chance to talk with him for the last time. Even if Aster looks so tired and old and nothing like the last time when they saw eachother, that's his son, his baby (which must've hurt too when he found out his boy went through almost the same things he did when Stan was homeless while on the multiverse). Aster finally called by his actual name after decades and reunited with his mother. They make me sick /j

I absolutely adore Forneus!! Her reunion with both of her kits was so cute and satisfying and it reminded me so much of them! Both of them feeling so empty before reuniting, Stan because he felt as if something was missing, Aster slowly forgetting his actual mother. Both of their brightness returning and infecting each other (I'm so glad you noticed his skin getting more colorful!!) and even if they decide to change their paths they can do it knowing that the other is there and that they're safe. But damn I don't even want to see how Aster's going to deal with his trauma, imagine being on "fight and survive mode, eat or be eaten mindset" for god knows how many years and one day you just- don't have to worry about it anymore. It's jarring and weird. I NEED TO WRITE ABOUT HIM

And on a complete side note!! Please listen to "Here Before" by Vashti Bunyan, it's literally their song I'm not even joking.

Btw this is an unused panel inspired by one of Moomin's ep. Scrapped it bc I wanted the emotional part to come later (honestly the reaction is valid I would've crashed out too if my parent just forgot about me)

AND O M G??? MAMA EVANGELINE DESIGN??? THR FACT THAT SHE CAN CHANGE FORMS DEPENDING ON THE UNIVERSE SHE'S ON AND PERSON SHE'S POSSESSING???? SIGN ME UP NOW!! I need to draw her immediately she's so beautiful (and the transformers universe omg imagine her as a kaiju SKIDLFLDOO) I adore how you made her hair so flowy

The scene from ponyo!! Her hair being a constellation and sea at the same time! Them being together in the afterlife i am not well /pos. Also the Variant Stan subplot???? Now that's a mystery I'm curious about!

And the morse code translations (thank you so much for them I was wanting to fight them), I am not well omg I am not well. "Forgive me my love", "kill me" and "make it stop" I FELT SO BAD (but also not bc brother what were you expecting???) The possibility that Ford isn't even dead and still possessed by Bill bc Aster just threw them both in the black forest, so he's probably still suffering there, alive and possessed and wallowing in eternal guilt. Holy shit dude.

AAAAAA BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING WORK AS ALWAYS ANGEL! Thank you so much for the attention my friend :) I hope you're doing well and have a great 2025!! 🩵🩵

Saw @mirrorworldangel answer about Aster's happy ending and I got inspired. I hope you like this gift and HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Also I completely apologize if Aster's colour pallette is wrong (⁠´⁠;⁠︵⁠;⁠`⁠) (for some reason I wanted to see him in blue???) I drew him older than he's supposed to be (and also looking like an exact copy like Ford, this dude was made to suffer) to show how long he's been travelling and also the hardships he endured (hence the duller colours). And while drawing this I had- so many thoughts (and I listened to Adrienne Lenker doing this and it was not a good idea it was not a good idea-)

The axolotl allowing Stan to rest by letting him "relive" in the moment where he was most happiest. The problem is that, both Aster and Stan have both "forgotten" eachother (Aster by seeing so many Stans and slowly forgetting his mother's characteristics after Stan died; Stan because of the amnesia). So when they both see eachother they're more like "you look familiar" and "doubting the axolotl for a moment" until they both recognise eachother (Aster finally being called by his first name by his own Stan, by his own mother. Both finally reunited). Ngl I got inspired by Moomin Mama and Forneus (cotl) for Stan's dialogue.

And Aster finally being allowed to rest and to be with his mother (I was actually gonna draw a panel of him being reverted back to a kid, a gift from the Axolotl so he and his mother could have more moments!) Him introducing Cleo and Mama (whom I DEFINITELY want to see and have to explore more) to his mother and Shanklin, Stan being held back from almost marching down to the Black Forest to beat the shit out of Cipher and Ford, Darlan dealing with the fact that he doesn't have to be on "fight or flight" mode anymore, Stan absolutely showering his behemoth of a son with kisses and hugs and getting to know more of him and his friends. Just - them ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

I tried to show more of Aster's quiet but still emotional side (but only when he allows himself to be), so he's really feeling it when he finally recognises his mom. The guy is a highly trained assassin.

Which also leds me to this point: some of the Stan's that interacted with Aster saw him as quiet, completely different, but still their baby (even with the scars and so so tired look that seems to be engraved in his face, which just made them more worried for their own kids bc what happened??).

And then there's the Ford's.

You know that Mandela catalogue audio?? "If you see someone that looks identical to you, run away and hide??" It's literally their relationship. Imagine you're a (shitty) Ford, and when you look to the corner of your lab, there's this... Figure. Just standing there, looking back at you. It's you, but... It's not you. It's older, covered in scars, bigger and wider than you. And it's staring back at you without a single ounce of emotion. The only thing that you can assimilate closer to it is pure apathy. You don't know who or what it is, but you can feel that it doesn't like you, and it wants you dead.

It's literally them:

ASJSIDJ I'M SO SORRY FOR THE RAMBLING I JUST REALLY LIKE HIS LORE AND I'M SO EXCITED FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU MAKE (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ+

ALSO

These bastards are still kicking my ass, BUT I'LL MAKE IT (I say, almost ripping my hair off when the other codes decipher just led to gibberish) ᕦ⁠(⁠ò⁠_⁠ó⁠ˇ⁠)⁠ᕤ

But on a serious note, I truly appreciate your attention my friend :) it's truly a pleasure seeing you and hearing your ideas, I excitedly await anything that you're putting your work on, take your time on It 🩵🩵
