Description I'm artblocked on my OCs lately, so I started doodling some fanart of my current favourite show, Pacman And The Ghostly Adventures!
Except I really suck at drawing the pac people in the pac artsyle so I've developed a habit of humanizing them. And, no offense to the show, I kinda think they'd work better this way. Or if they were all wolves. Or inanimate objects. Or literally anything other than pac people. The show kinda loses out by being called "pacman", since its actually OBSCENELY original and has pretty much nothing to do with any sort of prior pacman continuity. Even Pac himself is a completely different character to the normal one. (Honestly they shoulda just called him Pacboy? Cos he's like.. ten...) Really it just seems like some original anime franchise with a lot of pacman in-jokes thrown in.
Which is good I suppose, cos I never really liked regular pacman yet I love this version!

Anyway, this is the main villain, Betrayus. (and President Spheros being jealous of his swag)
He's the pimpin' awesome king of ghosts. Backstory goes that long ago there was a faction war and ethnic cleansing of the former ruling class, the magically-endowed Yellows. And then the rest of the pac people rounded up the rebels after the war had ended, and executed them en-masse. Apparantly including their families, since there's notably a fair few ghost children and four of them are even main characters
So yeah, souls of dead war criminals broke out of hell to take revenge thanks to Pac accidentally opening the barrier between worlds, and now he has to defeat them using his magic powers as the last of the Yellows, etc etc BIG SHONEN HERO PLOT. You can definately tell that it was made in japan! (fun trivia: the english version was made first though, and the japanese dub only just came out.)
Oh, and yeah, Pac's magical powers involve eating the ghosts alive in various semi-disturbing ways. This show is so weirdly dark without actually being dark XD MAGICAL CANNIBAL POWERS ACTIVATE~

Betrayus is goddamn awesome cos.. well, just look at him! An old man goth! That's so cool!
And he's like.. THE CHIPPEREST MAN ALIVE. Hammyness extreme! he's so gosh darn HAPPY to be the villain, he acts like an evil overlord fanboy or something XD Practising his evil speeches in front of the mirror for hours at a time...
I mean like.. seriously. Most villains look like that because the writers think it looks more evil or something. Betrayus looks like that because that's his fashion sense. Apparantly he decided he really needed to look the part if he was gonna rule the underworld. "I NEED KNIFE GLOVES. BECAUSE REASONS."
Acting like a character who's acting out a stage persona is a really difficult thing, so his voiceactor is goddamn awesome ^_^

I read the description. At first I'm like, "Yeah, I can't draw the Pac people either! Ghosts are much easier!" Then I see you talk about Tray-tray and I'm like, "Amen sista!" Awesome drawing by the way!

You're welcome >3< I think this is the most creative gijinka I've seen so far of Betrayus or his brother

I'm totally addicted to browsing for the tiniest scraps of fanart too XD This show doesn't have enough fans, its so unfair!
Have you seen these weird cool gijinka designs by someone called Gena? genalovestoons.tumblr.com/post…
Fun fact: that post was what got me into the show! I think her ghost designs are a bit too overly realistic though, especially Betrayus. Too creepy, loses all his fun sassyness. Sassyness is necessary!!
Man, I should draw more gijinkas if people like them so much ^_^ Its tough to colour in that glowy effect for the ghosts though, that's why this one will probably just stay a pencil sketch.

This fandom is ridiculously tiny, I tell you. I've never been in a fandom with so few people active in it but that sort of motivates me to draw and write for it so I guess that's a plus.

Oh yes I've seen those and I have to agree. The art is pretty but it's just not the same Betrayus. It doesn't capture as much of his personality. He's not Betrayus if that sass and whiny childish nature isn't shining through XD

I'd love to see more of them! And yeah I can imagine that glowing effect is almost impossible to get.Β

I know the feeling! I wanna get out there and make enough fanart for everyone XD I keep telling my friends to watch the show but nobody seems to like it I guess its a love it or hate it thing

Yup! XD Its odd because she seemed to get the characetrization of the others right, I guess she just thought that "real life" ghosts should be scarier or something. But geez that's going too far, looks like he should be in a horror movie XD

It really, really is >_< Its always that way for 3D characters with some sort of effect that can only really be done in 3D. Its awkward trying to fake it in a 2D pic!

Yeah there isn't much middle ground and I don't know many fans ;-; I'd probably hate this show if it didn't appeal to my interest in the paranormal. >> The first episode I saw also happened to do with Atlantis so I was like "Wtf does this have to do with an arcade game about eating ghosts and fruit." So I watched a few minutes and was like...this is kind of dumb. Then Betrayus happened and I had to see more of him. I thought he looked like a Pokemon and that he was the most adorable sassy man baby ghost ever. XD

Yeah it's just too scary looking to be Betrayus. I guess he's sort of scary to the Pac Worlders but to the people watching it he's just a cute little dork.

I know, the show really has nothing to do with pacman I think it would have been way more popular if they just embraced their originality and made it a separate series. its kinda offputtingly weird seeing this guy who looks like pacman but is an entirely different person in an entirely different story
Still, the awesome characters carry the show no matter how doofy it gets! And the doofyness is kinda charming XD

I can't understand anyone ever being afraid of Betrayus! I mean, sure, he's the king of the dead who's trying to destroy the mortal world and used to be some crazy terrorist guy when he was alive who apparantly killed off all the yellow pacpeople, but.. HE'S SO GODDAMN PATHETIC! He makes me want to just poke his cheeks and go NERRRRRRD
If anything, he should have a problem with people underestimating him because of how he acts. I can't believe anyone could be in the room with him for more than five minutes and still think he's a serious scary dude
"OH NO, ITS BETRAYUS WHO IS TOTALLY SCARY" *he's curled up on the sofa hugging a plush bunny cos his favourite tv show got cancelled*

I know! It could have really been a separate series and I'm sure they could have done more with it that way. That's kind of why I was of watching it at first because I was like "How the fuck do you make a cartoon out of Pacman of all things". Well they did and I here I am loving it XD The characters are why I watch they're interactions are so entertaining lol

Yeah sure he killed thousands of people but he also sleeps with a stuffed bunny and sucks his thumb. How is that terrifying? It's just adorable imo XD

Yep! I honestly never would have looked at it twice if someone hadn't posted a review pointing out how un pacmanny it is
I mean like.. you'd never expect any of this awesomeness just from the phrase "pac man show". If anything it's outright alienating its audience. Pretty much everyone knows that pacman shows have always ALWAYS been terrible ridiculous plotless badly-animated nonsense that rips off every other children's show under the sun. And the games aren't games you play if you want humor or cool characters or absolutely anything that would be good in an anime
Nobody could have predicted that a pacman show would turn around and deliver the exact opposite of every precendent that's ever been set for the franchise in the history of time o.O This isn't just a cool hilarious golden-age-spongebob-level kids' show, it'd also work great as a teens show, it'd work great as the next One Piece or something o.O
And yet its sitting here in the same place as the lowest-common-denominator pacman shows from the past, just because its part of that franchise >_<

I mean geez, if you're gonna slap a franchise name on a completely unrelated product, use a franchise name that would actually help the show become more popular! XD
...Man, now I really wanna draw more fanart! I had the silly idea of like.. PMATGA as a magical girl (or rather, magical boy) show! XD
I mean, wouldn't that be super weird and fun? A random chubby teenage boy in magical girl cosplay, fighting crime by eating dead people! o.O That's basically what the show already is, sans the costume change XD It'd be so much easier to see the weirdness of the show if everyone was humanoid, seriously XD
Or if they were cats or antelopes or anything except bloomin' pacman >_< Anything's possible for pacman, thus everything he does is kinda boring

EXACTLY! xD He's simultaneously scary and unscary, its so weird XD He's like Drakken from Kim Possible, except if he was actually competant, over a hundred years old, and murdered half a country in the past o.O
Its honestly hard to believe that this unbearably-cute bombastic Betrayus really did all that! Maybe he was more evil and less cowardly back in ye olden days when he was mortal? Or maybe he can just surprise everyone and kick ass when he's properly motivated?
Honestly I prefer his goofyness to any kind of serious villain so I don't WANT him to go all ordinary evil like that >_< Still, it seems like kind of a plot hole

I know, right? It blows my mind how they managed to come up with all of this stuff and label it as Pacman. It kind of is like a magic girl theme, isn't it? That would be cool to see that explored more and if the previews for season two are anything to go by it looks like we might have something like that >>Β 

He is similar to Drakken, isn't he? That's one of the only characters I can think of that is similar to Betrayus XD I think he can kick some ass when he wants to, I mean you don't start a huge war like that without being some sort of badass. Speaking of which I have an RP account for him on tumblr >> He could always use more people to pester him with questions.

Yay! >3< Wow, really? That's a huge compliment. I do try to keep him in character! He's my favorite so I want to do him justice c: Most of the other Betrayus' I've seen play him as too stupid and nice. Not mine~ XD

yeah, there is kind of a tendancy on tumblr rps to just be like LOL I ROMANCE EVERYONE and it doesn't even matter if the guy's in-character >_<
Dood, I'm not remotely interested in Betrayus repenting his evil ways to go fuck Pac in the ass or whatever XD If I wanted that I'd go read a fanfic. Kinda ruins the whole point of an in-character ask blog if its more like "ask my particular yaoi headcanon version of this guy"

Fluffah In reply to Bunni89 [2014-05-31 15:15:28 +0000 UTC]

Actually I've had more asks related to people wanting him to fuck their OCs more than anything else. They're usually the worst about changing a character's personality to suit their fantasies.

AND I MIGHT BE A LITTLE GUILTY WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING HIM. I have a Pokemon OC that I ship him (She's a Raichu okay BUT THEY MAKE AN ADORABLE COUPLE) with BUT LIKE OKAY SHE DOESN'T WANT TO CHANGE HIM THOUGH SHE LOVES THAT HE'S A VILLAIN. She'd like crawl into his lap and be all "Talk evil to me~"

and honestly the only yaoi ship of his that I can sort of endorse is Betrayus/Specter. I just can't ship Betrayus with any other canon character XD

Gah, that's annoying! It seems like wasted potential to just ask for that stuff ad naseum rather than asking actual questions instead >_<
I've got nothing against shipping, lol! Its just frustrating when people disregard canon personalities and like.. when shipping always overpowers everything else. You don't have that problem at all! I like the occasional stuff about your Raichu OC and him and Specter locked in a battle of egos is endlessly entertaining XD At least they have some goddamn chemistry unlike such weirdness as President Spheros X Pacster! (Yes, I have seriously seen fanart of that. What a crack pairing! XD)

It's rather irritating but at the same time since I'm playing such an asshole character it gives me an excuse to have him bluntly tell them what he thinks of their shipping. >>

I have nothing against shipping either, obviously, but at least I put in some effort to make it believable? Some people don't even try with that...

Aww it makes me happy that you enjoy their banter >3< Honestly I think if Eclair was a canon character there would be no end to shipping her and Betrayus. They make quite the pair. c: and then Specter and Betrayus' clone get thrown into it half the time too...There is a huge love affair going on right now between Eclair and these guys. I find it so funny that she's in a relationship with three of the most sexualized characters in the fandom and they hardly seem interested in dating anyone but her. I'm sure some of these other OC blogs are jealous. lol

Oh I've seen fanart of that too. I think it is just a crack pairing not meant to be taken seriously...Then again I have to wonder. XD
