Remember when I said that Jenny was a loose remnant of Xover, this utterly atrocious story/universe I fantasized making in elementary school?

…you probably don’t but anyway, looking back at it, it’s actually kinda prime “so bad it’s good” material. Just absolutely crawling with cringe DeviantArt cartoon crossover energy. So I’ve thought about somehow reviving it for the lulz and showing off how utterly UNHINGED my imagination can get. Don’t think I’m really going to commit to that anytime soon with the plans I already have (even if said plans are being realized at a PAINFULLY slow pace), but I figured I can give out little glimpses every once in a while so, the rubber hose nightmare on the left is…

Me. Well, my first self-insert. And boy, what a first self-insert. To sum him up:

- He was just named after myself; because the one I use now also is (partially), I don’t really have a distinctive name for him anymore (I guess Xover!Dan works for now)
- I imagined him with this obnoxiously nasally voice that sounds nothing like me
- He was turned into a… uh, unclassified monster-person after volunteering to have a scientist zap him with an energized mutagen for… literally no reason
- Among his powers were: enhanced intelligence, a 1930s rubberhose-like body with extendable limbs (think Spinel from Steven Universe), razor-sharp claws and teeth, fire breath, laser eyes, electrokinesis, weather manipulation, METAL manipulation for some reason, and COMPLETE INVINCIBILITY
- Upon transforming, he went on a rampage of killing and eating people, but because of his aforementioned powers, the police were unable to arrest him and gave up trying rather quickly
- Despite being a literal 8 year old (and a violent psychopath) he somehow founded a nationwide grocery store chain and lived in its high-rise headquarters in Los Angeles (way on the other side of the US from where I actually live)

Yeah… yeah. YEAH. What my 19yo self sees that my 8-ish year old self didn’t is that I was basically portraying myself as the embodiment of pure evil. Make of that what you will, because frankly, *I* don’t know what to make of it.

Honestly kinda sorry that pretty much none of this stuff was put on paper, but at least I remember most of it up to a certain point. Enough that I have a lot to work with if I want to continue revisiting this… fever dream. Oh, and here’s the cherry on top: there was a sort of transitional phase between Xover and WickerVerse. With that came… the bridge between Xover!Dan and Wicker, let’s just say.
