Early More Detailed Concept Of Blue! I Ended Up Only Keeping His Original Hairstyle XD

NEW ACTUAL SHORT! NEW ACTUAL SHORT!

And it's about red, my favourite stick boi

AND IT'S SO CUUUTTEEE (...kinda)

Reblog if its ok to spam you with boops

So, I know I'm a little (very) late to the AvA stuff, but I was rewatching AvM Season 3 for the seven hundredth time and, well, I noticed something and I'm curious to know if it's been discussed before.

AvM Episode 29, Purple's story, specifically, Pink's death.

Her color changes as she dies, or is represented to have died.

It fades to grey.

Now, the question is, can we, or rather should we, use this to infer anything lore-related? Was this just an artistic choice to depict the act of becoming unhealthy/dying, or could this be what actually happens to stick figures that die over a period of time? Are their colors linked to their health?

Let's have a bit of fun with it, and presume that the fading of one's color can happen to a stick figure for health-related reasons, as the scene could imply.

This fading seems to involve loosing the saturation of one's color into grey. Saturation is how vibrant a color is, and the complete lack of saturation is greyscale.

The World-of-Alan reason for Pink's death is that she 'got sick', which is where the health connection of this theory comes from. If she did loose her color as she was dying as the notes depict, that loss of color was likely a result of her failing health rather than any other factors, like age or outside variables. A whole bunch of human body stuff are indicators for good vs poor health, including skin color (jaundice and cyanasis are good examples) so why not a stick's color for them?

What if, when they fully die, they lose all of their original color?

Now, let me propose this…

Who else do we know of who has had their color loose vibrancy?

What if Victim's color has lightened because he's ill?

Did Yellow make Blue that machine or have they taken up redstone? Either one would make for a cute moment between them both.

Also it's nice that Purple was the focus of an actual short!! They've been getting way more coverage lately

Green (my design)

Another design down! I was going to do Yellow next but the influencer arc, well...influenced me haha

Headcannons below cut

HEADCANNONS (Green edition)

He is the third oldest, so kinda like a middle child

He secretly has some abandonment issues and attention seeking problems (thanks influencer arc for inspiring this one),

He also feels a little left out because Blue + Yellow and Orange + Red have kinda paired up (hence why he got so quickly attached to Purple, also I really need to write a one shot about this)

He has a social media addiction (✨ influencer arc✨)

He loves anything creative: acting, dancing, singing, fashion...you name it, he does it. All except drawing, because it's "Orange's thing" and he doesn't want to overshadow them (which made them letting that silverfish overshadow them sting so much more)

Wow this list got surprisingly angsty, so I'm gonna also add that he sometimes puts on little shows just for the colour gang

It's pride month!!!

Featuring my headcannon identities +ships of the stick figures from AVA!

Have a great pride month, I'm proud of y'all

How about Blue and Primal (Cave Stick) for the Bingo, please?

Blue: my second fave (alongside purple), kinda sad they're only really known for nether wart since they're also just super chill, plus blue is my favourite colour so points for style

Primal: I shall wait and see, the design is sick though

HI I'm back from a weekend trip and I saw the new actual short and...

YESSSSS MORE RED FOCUSED CONTENT!!! My fave stick is getting so much focus I love it. I'm also glad they're still in contact with the monsters from monster school.

Poly sticks again! Mostly just tsc x all + purp tho LOL

Do you have any Killer Rabbit headcannons?

Yesssss

The killer rabbit was a pillager who was cursed to be a rabbit. They are not happy about it.

They absolutely cannot accept defeat and will kill you or die trying.

They've actually gotten really good at baking from luring people into their mansion.
