Finally back to working on the forms.... I got Pale down, to go with Theo's (and then I'll go back and work on Vic's, and then we'll have the toxic ysosu....)
@tsukacchako / @astoryofsuchwoe . There's a small hint of Theo.... Can't get rid of them. They are indeed soulmates....

GAUAGUEGAHS!!! SORRY FOR GETTING TO THIS LATE;;;; !!!!!!
Wuaguagag. Love Myo. I love her sm. Her and her dad compete against each other as me tweaking out. I love all of this info, she's so girlie.
She is so adorable.withbher stage outfit,,, (the aliens did NOT have to remove her curls. That s so evil of them,,,,) . Then we have her friend- with her clown fit:
The bride and the ugly groom/p ,,,
And her dad???? Ough. He's so interesting, liking gossip. Just like his daughter,, that's amazing. + Also, the reason for liking gossip is AMAZING. It's so understandable, and uwhauugyagshgsgs.
Ough, Myo being a forget-me-not flower .. ... Uqgauwgagauagahgahagahgshagysgshhahahahhagshgshag. God. Myo is so cool, so well- thought-out (some of my stuff was just spurs in the moment).
The art too. I love the art too. I eat it/pos
Anyways :bbbb !!!!
Moonschored Flor!!
(three screenshots since it's pretty big, and it's getting even bigger the more I work on the OCs and the more I add some)
My friend. May I know more of Myo? <- is thinking of adding her to my already too long draft post of the Alnst OCs in Fear and Hunger Termina AU (I can give you Flor's moonschored form :])
OH MY GOD YEYEYEYEYEEYEYEYEYEYE!!!!!!!!!!!! EHEHEEHEHE FUNGER AU! FUNGER AU!!! U cant see it but im kicking my feet and giggling rn..........AND PLEASE GIVE ME FLOR'S MOONSCHORED FORM!!!!@<%^_^ I LOVE MOONSCHORED FORMS OF OCS!!!!!
BUT OK, MYO TIME!!!! IT MIGHT SOUND CONFUSING BECAUSE I WILL BE RAMBLING BUTTTTT I'LL TRY TO MAKE IT ALL UNDERSTANDABLE
Myo's name come from Myosotis, aka forget-me-not flower, it has a lot of meanings, but the one that i think it has mostly to do with Myo is this one:
"It is a testament to your relationships and promises the other person that you will never forget them in your thoughts." (Trust me, it will become important later)
Her owner is an octopus-like alien called Quornix, i haven't decided yet what her owner is but they have money and influence. She was "adopted" when she was around 1-2 year old, and she was given to her current owner as a gift from another alien, who was a close friend of Quornix - when they adopted her, they didn't plan for her to actually participate in Alien Stage, but this previous friend of them convinced Quornix to do so.
Before she was "adopted" by Quornix, she didn't live just with her previous owner, but actually lived with her actual father - like, THE HUMAN ONE. Since he was a pet of this previous alien, despite living with them for a small period of time, Myo never forgot about her dad - which made their separation even worse. I can totally imagine that in the first years till she was around 10, Myo had a really hard time grasping into the fact she would never see her father again..........And the worst part was that they weren't able to say goodbye to each other, as, when she was given to Quornix, her father was participating in Alien Stage, so he only knew of her departure when he came back.
I imagine that one of Myo's main traits are how reckless she is - she does not think about the future and prefers to just do things she wants without thinking about it, as she feels as if things could easily be taken away from her without her even noticing, so she wants to cheer these things up as much as possible before the end finally comes. A bit pessimistic? Yeah, but she hides it behind a charming personality and some small jokes here and there.
^ Alongside that, she is someone who gets attached to people EASILYYYYYY, like, if someone is slightly nice to her, she will already see this person as a friend and defend them with all her heart. If she loves something, she will continue loving it with all her heart, and if she hates something, she will hate it with a burning passion.
She is not a mean person, but at the same time, she is scared when things don't go her way, and she absolute HATES not knowing information or having things hidden from her, as she feels if she doesn't know everything, then she will get stabbed in the back. That's why she absolutes loves gossip, because it's an easy way to grab information without putting a lot of effort into it. She knows that, as a pet, she does not have a lot of power nor will any alien trust her with information, so she has to get it in different ways.
Because of learning how to hear without saying anything, she also is great at making people like her, which makes her personality be seen as even more charming - she knows what and when to say things, and this makes her normally go under the radar. She isn't someone who hates attention, but the idea of being the "main attraction" of something big such as Alien Stage scares her.
Her relationship with her owner is....Weird. It's hard to explain - she has actually two "owners" per say, Quornix (whom i mentioned before and whom she was given to) and Zyloxia. They are aliens who live together and who kinda "co-owned" her. She doesn't hate them, but at the same time, she can't find a way to like them - Zyloxia is a lot more berable in her opinion, but staying near Quornix makes her sick, especially due to the memories of how scared she was when they came to get her. As for the way they treat her, they treat her mostly fine - she is their only "pet", so they gave her all the attention she needed, but they also had the problem of expecting her to act according to what they wanted for her - they wanted a pet who was exceptional, and Myo just wanted to be normal.
Sooo remember when i mentioned her father up there? Well guess what. They. Compete together!!!! When she goes to Alien Stage, they actually put her agaisnt him - of course, she remembers him, but he can't recognize her, mostly because of how depressed he is. Stuff happens, Myo has a breakdown and cries a lot, and ends up losing, being finally hugged by her dad in her last moments as he finally recognizes her, it's. Pretty sad.
But ayy!!! At least i made her stage outfit, so look how cute she is!!!
They took out her curls...Sniffs................But yea theres also more flower symbolism in it *points* 🫵 look at the forget-me-not flowers there
But yea, thats what i can remember!!! Thank u for asking me about her ueeeueeee, and if this rambling sounds confusing sorry its 1am here...............
And also hwve her dad because hes very important to me too <3
(Stupid old man!!! Ignore he doesnt have his beard in the second photo.....)

Bad traits of your OCs? <- planning to use said info to Moonscorch them in the funger Alnst au (please. i can GUESS for some. but im doing like. ~39 CHARACTERS. Too much for one (1) person; me)
Bad traits, don't just limit to that! It could be about their traumas, how they view themselves (in a bad light), etc etc. / example; Flor is a bad mom and in hindsight a bad friend, she repeats and she forgets. She laughs it all away, and lies to others and herself. And her coping mechanisms! Eating and such, while eating isn't bad in of itself- eating too-too much is. ~and all of that!

9 (1 day ago)— 4:22
SOULs of The Performers (season39 & two from season40)
(of a popular circus called “Space Mine”, or in short 'Spmn').
Solei- a very popular, well known and well liked performer. Solei is an androgynous being- appearing somewhat feminine yet having a soft and masculine voice. They seem to only be a 'trainer' rather than an actual performer. They have the Caressing Soul. (something is up with them)
Aurien- well known, and mainly popular around those who are also fans of Solei; they don't seem to make a difference between Solei and Aurien. She has the Dominating Soul. Or, maybe, just maybe, a Radiating Soul. (she knows something is going on with Solei)
Vii- with how calm, and quite similar to Castor in some ways, Vii seems to have a Shadowed Soul. But who knows, Vii might have an Enlightenment Soul. / Saachi- with how similar she is to Flor and due to their trio name being "Christmas girls" maybe she has the same Endless Soul as Flor does. But she seems more.. softer. Maybe she doesn't have the Endless Soul. But who knows for sure / Ji Woo- Someone who's carefree and 'homely' yet, Ji Woo has the Solitary Soul. He seems to be sweep under the rug, in some cases. / Ryu- he's similar to Ragnvaldr, in how he acts (I would think). Giving him the Tormented Soul. Or maybe he has the same soul trait as Aegaeon does; a Tainted Soul.
Azure- well known but not really well respected. Azure is quite numb and chillingly cold, and is a performer. A Blank Soul. But it's also been said that he possibly might've had an Enlightenment Soul, only turning Blank after reaching a dead end. (He's quite similar to Daan in that way).
Jae- He's an ordinary young man. Nothing too appealing, but appealing enough for him to be in a circus with others around. But he and Flor share the same soul trait. An Endless Soul. / Evon- Is one of those who are more appealing then Jae is. Appearance wise, with the white strand of hair, which makes her stand out. But for her soul, it's the Enlightenment Soul.
Rose- With their unique and one-of-a-kind appearance and especially their talent, they might as well have their own soul type named after themselves! But, not now. They have the Endless Soul.
Khoi- Enlightenment Soul. His fast-learing ability has him learning a lot in some short amounts of time, which has him wanting more. / Sai- His quiet behavior yet the way his attaches himself to others seem to point that he has a Solitary Soul. / Vera- lightly similar to Sai, but I suppose that's only based on their looks and how quiet they are. Their difference is of course their soul, to which Vera has the Endless Soul (I like to think that she'll be similar to Karin from Termina). / Ellie- and her somewhat princess-like air to herself, she might seem like she would have a Dominating Soul. But far from that, she actually has a Latent Soul.
Toon- Tainted Soul, with how her and Lang have some fights (hindsight, quite petty but it's funny) and it somewhat led to her having a bowl cut. / Monica- She, Solei and Dian have the same views (I would think), so their soul trait is the same. Caressing Soul. / Isla- She seems to be quite similar to Aurien in some ways but also to Ava. But she doesn't seem like one for power, so it leaves her with a Radiating Soul.
Lang- Enlightenment Soul. She's known for picking things apart, and of her questions that she asks Moran.
Minori- Minori, she's confusing to say the least. The month and day she was born has people with more courage and such, but she's quiet and skittish. Not much of a talker or a booster, but she's somewhat similar-ish to Tanaka (from Termina), giving her the Latent Soul.
Stasya- Solitary Soul. Someone who's found a home inside of this circus (quite the irony), or maybe perhaps Stasya has the Suffocated Soul?
Tallis- Solitary Soul, similar to both Stasya and Vermillion. / Castor- The Shadowed Soul. But it has been debated that he may have a Tormented Soul as well, but that's been said by those who seem to know of Castor's past. / Himei- Caressing Soul! She and Noora get along well due to their shared soul trait. / Kyo- Just like Aegaeon and Ryu, having him with the Tormented Soul.
Tov- Enlightenment Soul. She and Moran are quite similar in how they are due to their soul.
Noora- Her friendliness and childishness has her with the ones who have the Caressing Soul. / Lark- Enlightenment Soul, with how he seems to appear as a librarian in a place full of singers.
Onyx- Cold like Azure is, but not all that similar since Onyx has 'life' in himself. He has the Enlightenment Soul due to how similar he and Azure are. / Dian- He's quite similar to both Monica and Solei, in of their shared traits and views (in some way), so he also possesses the Caressing Soul.
Cirrus- Quite a mystery they are. Resembling the cloudy sky, and their eyes being closed almost always. Giving this air of being choked out of breath. Similar to Azure, yet also similar to others who are more lively. Suffocated Soul, seems to explain them quite well.
Aegaeon- Her fightin' energy and quite mean look has her being compared to Marcoh. Having her with the Tainted Soul. But she means well, just like Marcoh.
Moran- Enlightenment Soul, again. She and Lang have talks about philosophy or anything of their interest that is besides their acts in the circus.
Flor- well known for her out going and generally jester- like persona and personality. It's been stated that she has once wanted to do something else rather than performing but she likes her job now. She has the Endless Soul.
Akane- Similar to others who have a Solitary Soul, to which she also has.
Vermillion- A Solitary Soul. I don't think I should explain it too much, since without his girlfriend- and the way he's not that well known in the circus. It's self-explanatory, on why he's alone.
Daiki- A Dominating Soul? She'll be quite similar to D'arce and how she is devoted to Le'gard yet has a dominating soul (but it's Tina for Daiki, and not Le'gard).
Ava- a beauty with nothing much underneath but she seems to be quite similar to others yet for Flor Ava reminds her of Solei, which might have her with the Caressing Soul that Solei has.
Innamorati- Quite feminine in some ways? But always quick to make sure others don't call him of any name like so since he doesn't want to be seen as a woman. He has the Changeling Soul. (Quite similar to Marina, but the opposite)
Toki- He's known as a wolf in sheep's clothing. Most likely having a Decrepit Soul.
Solei: @solei-eclipse , Aurien: @apriciticreveries , Vii - Saachi - Ji Woo - Ryu: @starry-skiez , Azure: @4listr , Jae - Evon: @kofeedoggo , Rose: @rosedeleca , Khoi - Sai - Vera - Ellie: @junebluues , Toon - Monica - Isla: @nottoonedin , Lang: @pwippy , Minori: @skyisjusthere , Stasya: @billwasnot , Tallis - Castor - Himei - Kyo: @bluemoonscape , Tov: @ivanttakethis , Noora - Lark: @kamersona , Onyx - Dian: @rockwgooglyeyes , Cirrus: @yunoftheclouds , Aegaeon: @paradisedisconcert , Moran: @geospiral , Flor: @sotogalmo , Akane: @aakaneeee , Vermillion: @subzeromoron , Daiki: @teapotuser , Ava: @paperstarry , Innamorati: @alien-til-i-stage , Toki: @z3r0styrant . (Possibly many more!! But by a screenshot this is all imma do).
*most SOULs have been repeated since there are only 15 known SOULs / I don't really know how SOULs work in Funger, and such. So- uhm. Yeah some of these are probably weird & wrong to the ones who know more of Funger than I do ( @dannybobany !!! ALNST OCs in funger!!)
**again, most SOULs aren't really that correct. I've tried, with the information I've been given of Fear and Hunger and the information I've been keeping in my head of the OCs in Season39. These aren't fully their SOULs, since I am not their creator (minus Flor, she is gonna stay with the Endless Soul). Basically; I was winging most of these SOULs
***There are only 15 known SOULs in Fear and Hunger, there is a chart of more SOULs but we don't have people with those souls just yet:
(so most of the SOULs in this post might be wrong as a whole, but I'm going off of what we do know as of now. So if these don't fit the characters, I'm sorry — I'm honestly doing all of this BY personality, and not really by their Zodiac Sign. But their Zodiac is mixed in, so)

Just remembering the funger OC au. I added Jiu & Kioku! Their forms are coming along well and such!,, if that's ,, alright with @solei-eclipse ,,
But man. I'm doing like. 30+ characters-
And I'm also thinking of doing part two of the post. So :3, stay tuned for when I do release the moonscorch forms out in the wild, and when I start making a part two of it
Edit: I do want to say I have their names already figured out! Jiu's "Tied Up"(another word for Duty) and Kioku's "Out Of The Way"(another word for uncanny or just weird)

( @dannybobany this is what hyperfixation does to a girl/silly. / @solei-eclipse ; how my draft is comin' along! / @alien-til-i-stage <- since Mesmerizer actually helped me with this design for her. @rockwgooglyeyes , @starry-skiez , @solei-eclipse , @kamersona , @4listr & others)

Sneak peeks of Jiu & Kioku 's moonscorched forms (this is not all of it!)
Jiu's "Tied Up"; as it's another meaning for Duty, but it can be about the new art of him? (Being tied with hair- being tied back to a memory, etc)
Kioku's "Out Of The Way"; another word for eerie/uncanny/special, and seemingly connects to -again- the new art of Jiu: "you weren't supposed to come back" or something similar— she was supposed to stay out of the way.
Jiu & Kioku: @solei-eclipse

Been watching the Amon theory video, and GUH.
Alnst OCs funger au....
Solei being a Sun God; “Who of us doesn't cover their true face and hide behind a persona? In the broad daylight we adapt a social role depending on the surrounding people. We put on a mask that works as the public image of our true personality. Do we hide our face to avoid the judgment of the people, or do we look down in shame as the sun watches our every move?”
”A sun that knows our deepest longings and lustful thoughts. Only in the darkness of the night does the true and vile nature of men get revealed. We share our decrepit bodies only to the select few under the moonlight. Despite what lowly thieves, covering in the shadows, would like you to think, the moonlight hides no one.”
in broad daylight we are someone else, but when something happens- an eclipse- only does the moonlight show. Only does the truth appear, and it only does when the moon is also around. Only when the moon is now the center of attention, because of how the sun went into hiding. Yet, Solei is observant. They like life, and so they might as well know what others are in some ways. They do place some of the students in ANAKT as animals in their minds. Drawing connections to creations they have seen with their own two eyes. (Connected to the fact that in canon s39 stage, Solei is part bird)
“If we gaze directly into the Sun our eyes will burn but we can look at the shadow it casts, and that shadow is none other than a Moon God. / Moon God, Rher, is a trickster God. A jealous god, he does not want to share godhood with mortals and according to Enki; ‘Rher is depicted as the god of the insane and those who've succumbed to madness. His blessing to men is his moonlight, which is said to uncover the truth under the human filth. A truth that is often too much for a human mind to handle.’”
Quite literally Solei and Aurien's relationship in the past, Aurien always following Solei and her solar sign being a moon. And with that, goes to the way that Rher is jealous- possibly going with the way that Aurien (beta or canon?) is quite obsessive? Not sure how to describe it but that part just made me think of Aurien and Solei tbh. But, besides that it then goes to the fact that Rher's blessing -being moonscorched- shows the truth, can go with how her round had Solei appear back; and Solei comes back in an unnatural form (feathers and bird legs, possibly more? Solei is wearing a cape so). But maybe it can tie with how Aurien in the past used to go the wagyeins and such (just like Ivan).
(Solei: @solei-eclipse / Aurien: @apriciticreveries )
*moon: aurien / sun: solei.
