Been thinking recently of Barts backstory and how the events in his life would fit into a timeline.
Edit:
I’d created this before Episode 80, where they delve deeper into Bart’s backstory, (which is completely different then what i’d written here.) so im changing it and ig consider this a Stinky Dragon Adventures AU? Since I like to think of that series as an alternative timeline
Bart came from Tetora, was placed in the orphanage, found Gum Gum, became a pirate on the Jebediah, and then went back to pick up Gum Gum again.
In an episode where Bart infiltrates an orphanage, he explains how he’d been taken in by a not-so-good family, so he ran away and went to get his real family (Gum Gum).
Timeline:
I like to think that Bart had a few years to get to know Gum Gum and help raise him in the orphanage, teaching him simple things like how to count and the ABC’s.
Eventually, Bart gets adopted, asking the family that chose him if Gum Gum can come too. The family isn’t subtle with their disdain, raising major red flags. Bart is crushed, forced to say goodbye to his one and only friend. He’s adopted against his will, realizing later on how neglectful his “family” is.
He runs away, becoming a pirate on the Jebediah after being found by Marge. Bart lives the best years/months of his life, but every night he can’t stop thinking of the baby half-orc he left all alone in that orphanage. The guilt becomes all-consuming, as well as the hunger that he has to make a name for himself; something he can’t do by being a member on the ship.
He bids Marge goodbye, telling the crew that he’ll see them again some time in the future.
Once Bart finds the orphanage, he’s relieved to see Gum Gum still there, but shocked at how much he’s grown. Gum Gum doesn’t recognize him at first, and Bart realizes he must have changed a bit too from his days on the Jebediah. But after a second or two Gum Gum lights up, scooping Bart up into a big hug.
