#Sorry folks. I'm a bitch rn. As usual

[qwertzze]

Saw this like 9 hours ago, at least according to ibis paint. Sorry that I'm doing this through a reblog pou. Sorry for the notif as well. Love you loads

Decided it's time to redesign RttRT final 7 and incorporate it with my main ASAOP storyline thingf

Sorry abt all the free space, I was originally going to fill it with ranting but I wanted to keep all the story stuff to the text in this post in the same vein as my last ASAOP dump

Coming back to explain the subtext in my brain of RttRT x ASAOP bc that should probably actually go first

I think RttRT would've happened first, a show that went smoothly without hitches and ended after one season. Not all that spectacular, but has a small following. The final 7 from RttRT were then invited to compete in ASAOP, at which point, the big incident unfortunately happened (I'll explain at some point but I am far too tired rn)

Starting off with the host because I have a lot to say about her. She's the rock tumbler in the bottom left, and the titular character

Disclaimer for anything I say relating to actual rocks/rock tumblers, my mother is the one who's more interested in tumbling/rock facts whereas I just collect

Hosts being otherworldly in nature and basically all powerful is overlooked most of the time, and I think that's a shame because it could be a really good point for dynamics/lore.

I unfortunately don't have a design for the ASAOP host, but one of the thoughts bouncing around in my head has been that hosts are seen as a kind of God, like how Gods pick a side in wars in mythology but to a much lesser extent. Basically, playing around with object life through pitting them against each other in life changing challenges that most often put them through multiple deaths. Hosts seeing normal objects as playthings really scratches an itch of my brain that I usually keep to my non osc characters, but I can't help but do here

Some are more benevolent than others, just wanting to observe, while others will directly antagonize. I think Darcy (name pending, but the host of RttRT) would be more indifferent, basically doing it just to experience hosting a show herself and

More Darcy specific, her eyes are the numbers, and she might communicate through just rotating her uhh compartment thing (would ask my mother what it's called, but she's at a quinceanera til midnight) in a sort of rythmic pattern to communicate emotion more than words. The buttons, as opposed to what a normal rock tumbler's buttons would do, would probably do things like revive/teleport contestants, show votes (OH OH THOUGHT, HER EYES COULD DO THAT THOUGH AHUGH), and generally stuff of that nature. The power button stays the same, and I may tie that into another idea I had a while back, which is having 🐝 be a host bounty hunter

Fool's Gold/Pyrite, and the order of elimination for the final 7. Since when I first designed them I only made 7, I decided that the in story reason for that is that they're the finalists/the folks who join ASAOP after RttRT takes place

So green/Quartz is 7th place, and from there, you can see Fool was in the final two. Fool takes this very personally that they didn't win, as they'd done a lot of horrid things to try and win. After BA won, he didn't see a use for the fake crown thing, so he gave it to Fool to hold onto. Might be a bit of hate-romance there, just bc I'm a sucker for interpersonal relationships with ambiguous feelings that the characters have a hard time figuring out, let alone communicating

Furthermore, I think a minor plotpoint could've been that BA and Fool were in an alliance, making their bond/betrayal(?) more present

General design things for these bugs because it's hard to read what I wrote and I have just a bit more to say

FG/P: my main design process for them was thinking about the fool's gold I used to own before that bitch stole it way back when I was in elementary. Obv, I know the color is far too vibrant(?), and they're much too round (which I tried amending a bit), but it's all for fun. Already spoke on the crown, don't have much else to say

RC: tall & nervous, great combo, easy for me to write. Right now, a lot of the RttRT 7 are just archetypes, but I like it that way (+ it's the osc way). I gave them yellow stripes on their legs, which is to represent scars from picking. This is another self projection thing, but I want to depict characters with my own mental health issues, so.

The bow is a fun little element I just added to give the design a bit more detail. (Something I think would really help my designs more is little bits of clothing like that, but I'm not the most consistent artist). I lloooovvved doing the highlights here. I've had rock candy several times before, and it's great, but I know candy's design is very inaccurate to that. Whimsy!!

PR (F): the little fringe of the wrapper really reminded me of jester apparel when I was drawing it, so I made sure to give it an inward bend to further that. The redesigns really helped motivate me here, esp with this one. The one for PR is my fav!!!!!!! I don't feel quite like I did them justice, but I think it's better than before

Q: Jeez, a lot of this is my own personal bias. One of my names that a lot of people still call me is Quartz, my objectsona was a quartz before it was a clipboard, and I have bottles upon bottles of it. The aforementioned sona was put into this a lot, but having it be green helped me differentiate them. One-eyed quartz is now canon, I just. I don't know why. I don't even have an explanation for it after deciding to do it. Colors are directly lifted, but I wanted to give more texture to their base. I think it might be moss & rock, but that's basically my excuse for why it's so green

BA: sunglasses are bc they're on vacation after winning, I wanted to give them a scarf to match/cover their band as a kind of "incognito disguise" joke for their celebrity life, but I wanted to draw them in base outfit for color/ref purposes. Not a lot has changed, but their impurity/fused rock became just a little protrusion through lens of redesign

P & SS: together because they match in color/accessory. Bowtie/normal tie buddies, again, not a lot has changed other than my exaggeration of Pebble's shape

I don't know how to properly end this off other than to say thank you to anyone reading and sorry for my lack of art recently to the 68 of those following. Also, 68 followers!!!! Big milestone, (for me at least), considering I was celebrating like 21 notes very recently

Question skills go! (Sorry if any of these have been asked before I'm curious and too groggy to scroll) -

Do you have a favorite rock or type of rock?

When was the last time you ate Swedish Fish?

Favorite flavor of chapstick?

Go-to color when sketching other than black?

Rrfggh uh,, do you like shipping in the osc, and if so what's your favorite ship/opinion on MintyMath hfjone?

What was the first object show you watched through all the way and/or what introduced you to the osc?

While I'm here, I know that post where you ask for objects to doodle was in mmay but I'm. I'm here now, and while I'm here I have objects,, very optional, I was first and foremost here to just show support. Awesome to talk to awesome people

My main bugs and a few that don't have a place in the story/are one offs from me. Doodling them is not required and not even expected from me, part of this is just me practicing sharing rambles/characters with people

Love you. You you're so. The uhh endorphins. Stop drugging me with your animations.

Remember to hydrate yourself and take care otherwise!!

hello!!! i love all the questions so heres my answers for each one!!!

i love igneous rocks! specifically a'a, a type of volcanic rock found pretty commonly where i live! i dont really remember the last time i had them, probably a couple months back i got some from some sort of store LOL but they are very good i dunno... probably cherry or sum, i havent used chapstick in like years so i cant remember i actually dont sketch for my art, i just go straight into lineart (probably a sin), the only time ive sketched is in AJPW, where opacity doesnt exist, so i use purple usually for that LOL im not huge into shipping, i liked pillowbook for a while, but other than that i dont know many ships or really mind them all too much! for the ship, i havent seen it before, but i dont mind it!! seems neat! the first shows i watched when i joined the osc were the basic ones (bfdi/bfb), and also object filler (again) by diamondcup57!!

thanks for the awesome questions, also, love ur ocs!!! i tried drawing them, plus my own little rock guy i made based off the rock guys! -^ ^-

prob my longest post on here! wow
