Thanks to artfight, I’ve finally finished a detailed, official dbhc cub reference! :D

(I’ve put his Artifight description below the cut, which has a more detailed explanation of his timeline, lore, and aesthetics! >:3)

-ˋˏ ༻ ❁  OVERVIEW ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-

Name: C.B.F.N.4000 (Cub) Pronouns: He/Him Species: Android Height: 5’9’’ Associated Visual Themes: vex, ghosts, explosions, mischief, scientist aesthetic, potions, potionmaking, sleepy/tired aesthetic, conspiracies

-ˋˏ ༻ ❁  ABOUT ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-

CBFN4000 is an au version of MCYT Hermitcraft’s Cubfan, set in my DBHC (or Detroit Become Hermitcraft) AU! This au is inspired by the 2018 game Detroit Become Human, but not because it really has anything to do with DBH—I simply yoinked the android mechanics and incorporated them into the world of Hermitcraft. It began as a S8 au, and has roughly followed the hermitcraft timeline up to the present! 

Cub was the last android made during Season 8. While many of the hermit androids were made at the beginning of season 8 and a few were made for season 9, Cub was finished and activated mid-late Season 8, around the time when Hermits started noticing the Big Moon. Cub’s model ended up being a sloppy experiment in deviation, as Doc suggested they try to transfer deviancy to an android upon activation to try and avoid traumatic situations that might cause an android to deviate violently or upsettingly, such as Etho’s, Tango’s, or Mumbo’s experiences. While this went relatively well initially, it clearly wasn’t very thoroughly thought out, as Xisuma (who is normally so adamant and detail-oriented when it comes to assuring the androids’ safety with experiments like this) wasn’t truly himself due to external manipulation and mostly left a relatively young-deviant Doc to carry out the project himself. 

Cub, though adjusting to sentience rather well at first, very quickly became wrapped up in the Big Moon happenings on the server, new personality and inexperience to emotions like fear and ignorance completely overwhelming his young system. He became obsessive over the implications and consequences of the Season 8 Moon Apocalypse, joining the Mooners and spreading his conspiracy theories religiously throughout the server as he descended into madness. The insanity was like a virus to his programming, pervasive and all-engulfing, and Cub’s final attempt to free himself from the Moon’s impact with the Earth—to launch himself on a llama into space via potion-powered TNT(insane btw)— left his hands and feet singed and cracked to ruin.

The experiment, considered a horrific failure by a deeply shameful—and more awake—S9 Xisuma, left Doc and Xisuma with the decision to reset him for the new season, and they ended up pairing him with a hermit like they had done with the other androids until they had found deviancy enough to pursue their own projects. So, at the start of season 9 and fresh after a reset, Cub was paired with Scar. Naturally, because Scar is… Scar, Cub deviated almost instantly after being given to him, and very quickly adopted the iconic lazy, stoic, amused attributes normally associated with Cubfan. Scar’s tendency towards mischief and general shenanigans grew instantly on Cub, and the two were an immediate inseparable pair. So much so that when Scar began rambling one day about his Season 5 Hermitcraft Shenanigans (where deals with the Vex may or may not have been involved), Cub immediately stated he was interested in being in on it. Whatever “it” means. It’s unclear if Cub also made a deal with the vex or became connected to them in some other way, but… well, he got Doc’s help to trick out his eyes, hair, and back to best fit the part. Scar is very jealous that he can't magically make himself have the same features to match.

Cub is closest with Scar, but he gets along just as well with any of the other hermits! He’s close with Jevin and many of the other redstoners like Etho and Doc, who are the other two androids I’ve put on artfight!

-ˋˏ ༻ ❁  EXTRAS ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-

Cub's eyes can light up in the dark, and he’s the only android who has edited his programming so that the default state of his LED is white, not blue. It still will go yellow and red if his processors are working particularly hard, but he’s replaced the blue setting on his LED with white to better match the Vex vibe. Cub has all of the vibes of a fae. If that’s anything <3

Prowling the streets ; Dreams

I made a new post on my twitter yesterday! : https://twitter.com/DreifusMontauc/status/1594423735830085633

I really enjoy writing dream sequences towards my WoL, if you can’t tell ^-^ I find it a rather interesting tool to reference things to come. And oh....the things to come. Anyways, this post is contains some bloodshed, a good deal of underboob (lol) & some themes one might find unsettling, so if that turns you off, I understand & hope your day is going well! c:

Here is the usual shots from the post itself! I’ll try putting excerpts from the main post in to add some flavor alongside my commentary, but I might just start transcribing the post in it’s entirety here...but that’s a lot more work than I expected.

Before getting some rest in anticipation of the search for Gosetsu & Yugiri, Arlessia says a prayer to Rhalgr, but is compelled to meditate upon her scar. After some flaring pain & shattered memories flash by, she opens her eyes to a different place.

Bacchus. After they clashed for control, Arlessia was forced to partake in a ritual that ended up nearly killing her...but it also nearly destroyed the malicious entity as well, scarring & burning his form beyond immediate recognition. The only thing that allowed her to recognize him was the eye of violet.

He took it personally.

Enter Nemesis. She explains to Bacchus that what he wants, to take control of Arlessia’s body & turn all she hold dear to ash before killing himself...to end his existence, is out of reach. Whatever he does to her will rebound onto him. He can’t exist without her. He then speaks of the ‘before’ (whatever that might be)...begrudgingly of course.

Arlessia & Nemesis speak candidly as Bacchus ‘leaves’ in a flare of violet flames.

“Who are the women in white I keep seeing?”

“You’re not alone in seeing the women in white.” Was her only reply before Arlessia found herself back in her room in Kugane, barely a minute passing.

Archiving the entirety of the interactions in her mind, she then lays down with Sama, calming her partner gently from a nightmare of her past as they slumber for 5 hours.

‘Morning’ Excercises to get limber & talking to Sama about the fugue state interactions with Bacchus & Nemesis-

But something is still bothering her.

"You okay, my love? Is it what we talked about this afternoon?" I asked, her countenance worrying me.

"I...yes. Sorry, it's just this ever present stain...being here. So close to home, but so far from inner peace."

Holding my hands out towards her melancholy became my only focus, I sighed. "It's okay. We do what we can, just so long as we're able to keep moving. I knew from a glance what kind of place this is. Let me ease your doubts, my love." Hesitating to take my hands, she breathed out.

"If the Domans aren't what we expect...if they're a broken people...what will we do?" She asked, looking up at me.

"Then we remind them what it's like to live. To refuse to bow to any master other than one of one's own choosing. What it's like to have culture...music...love."

"Although I know it doesn't help when I say this, this fight is inevitable. We can but have faith that our brothers & sisters in Yanxia haven't lost all faith in their fellow man yet. But if that takes us to the Azim steppe...you will have closure, at the very least." I finished-her closing her eyes.

Taking a deep breath as she thought, when she turned her gaze back up to me before taking my hands lovingly, a smile come back across her face. "And it comforts me knowing you'll be there every step. Come, let's get prepared." As she rose, I giggled & hugged her. "I love you."

"I love you too, Arlessia." She said, her skin quickly getting flush as we quickly worked to get kitted in our combat gear. "Akavi & I are to watch the streets whilst you & Lyse ask around, right?" She asked, me nodding while pulling my coat on. "Aye. Call us if you see them."

TFW you get paired together with one of your best friends for a group project~

My main motivation for writing & posing this conversation at the Shiokaze Holstery was based around this: Kotokaze obviously knows what the information is worth. Arlessia obviously knows how things work in the underbelly of any city she might find herself in.

It’s like a circling standoff that ends with a deal being struck & the two parties shaking hands. I love that.

"What's with the booze? Don't tell me it's to 'celebrate' once we find them?"

"No, actually. I plan on their 'laws of hospitality' for that!" I said, laughing heartily before casting a look around. "It's insurance. I'll handle half of these names, you handle the rest, hm? How's that strike you, Lyse?" I asked honestly after a moment. Smirking she nodded.

"I'm fine with it. Meet you back at the Holstery? Good luck...and keep safe." She said, clasping my arm in a sisterly way before running off after giving the names & a sketch. Walking towards the southern docks where I would find the captains on my list, I glanced over. I noticed the woman who had been watching our conversation with Hancock walk out the Shiokaze before turning suddenly to the teahouse. I would have to watch my step. Continuing to the south again, I found the first captain on my list outside the boat launch. A man of Thavnair.

F#ck this guy lmao

"Passengers? No. We no longer offer that service. Too much trouble. We only transport goods. I told this to the samurai and sent him on his way."

"Did he mention anything about any other options to cross? What of the other?"

"The woman? Pah." He began, his eyes shined hungrily as he looked at my chest. "If it is women you seek, the pleasure houses have plenty. You may even find employment. Looking at him whilst my anger flared, I kept my daggers sheathed. Sighing, I settled on spitting in the bay.

"That explains everything, being as there is no way in hell you'd find yourself lucky with me, never mind keeping your balls 'twixt your legs, short-stop. Piss off." I seethed, turning & walking away as he recoiled at my venom. Making my way through the market streets, I fumed.

What’s this?

A surprise reunion with another of her besties? I figured this is a nice tool to loop in the 60-70 rogues questline further into the story. Obviously I’ll need to lead with the Scion storyline, but occasionally returning to this could be fun.

"We've yet to hear anything from the preening fool! I can't take this anymore!" Jacke yelled below the walkway I was walking on. Turning with a throw of his arms, he groaned in clear frustration. "The mort's got V'kebbe, Underfoot, & Miss Yuki in his clutches...& we're waiting on a letter?!"

Oboro sighed at the outburst. "Guildmaster, master yourself! There is no use raving against what we yet cannot change! We need to conscript Arlessia's skills! There is no way to protect the mudra of summoning & our comrades without her blades!" He said, trying to calm my friend.

"Oboro is right, Jacke. We NEED her help." Tsubame said gently, which made him sigh sadly.

"Yet, last we spat wids with her, she was going to mill for her home's freedom...with the news of the slaughter of Rhalgr's Reach...s-she may be..." He began as I sat upon the crate.

"Jacke...I-" Tsubame began, the words dying in her throat as I walked silently between her & Oboro, who nearly pulled steel as I shushed him quiet.

"Nay, it's me. I'm a ol' fool worried about 'is friend. Forget I spat anything. We need to pick apart the crow's wids to free 'em."

Planting my hands heavily unto his shoulders, I spoke slowly but with the utmost care. "You're worried about who, now? Captain Jacke Swallow, Head of the Dutiful sisters? You're such a sap!" I said with a cocky smile as he freezed the moment my hands squeezed his shoulders.

After a moment he spun, ripping his shoulders out of my hands as he stuttered. "A-Arlessia!? What're ye doin here in Kugane!? I-I..." He began, at which I crossed my arms with a chuckle.

"I heard it all, you big softie. I'm touched you were worried so for my safety, brother."

"Ach...ye got me. What happened? I heard-" He began, at which I simply placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Yes, the Reach. It's true. The Garleans came down hard. I barely scraped by with my life, thanks to my fellow Scions." I said, taking a couple steps away before turning back.

"As for why I'm here, me, Sama & a number of Scions have volunteered to come in the hopes of finding some associates of ours. Our efforts in Gyr Abania have all but stalled...so this is our only option. To divide the attention of the XIIth legion."

"Divide & conquer. Bene plan."

As Jacke said that, he brought his hand to his chin. "But, what is yer plan from here? As ye heard, we could use yer damber stabbers to free our morts."

"Yeah, that is partly why I volunteered, because of the Karasu problem...but we're actually bound for Doma. To free her."

Saying this, Oboro & Tsubame's jaws dropped in shock.

"Free...Doma!? To help our people?" He sputtered.

"Aye. The associates of ours we're looking for are Yugiri Mistwalker & a Gosetsu-"

“Daito. Gosetsu Daito, retainer to Lord Kaien...general of the rebellion. We know him."

"Have you seen them?" I asked, which Oboro shook his head before looking to Tsubame.

"Nay, I haven't. I'd heard tell of a Roegadyn Samurai, but I mistook it for one of Karasu's new henchmen. Warriors of the 'Garnet League'-disgraced samurai who fled the XIIth's wrath." She said.

"Well, that is a shame. What of your efforts? How did the others get involved & captured?" I asked.

"Well...to begin we needed assistance with regaining the scroll once we arrived & found out the Garnet League's involvement. We did end up getting it back with your friend's help." As he said this, Oboro produced it from his kimono's sleeve. As I looked upon it, the markings were reminiscent of Karasu's summoning mudras.

"Is that...?" I began, eliciting a nod from him.

"The mudra of summoning. Karasu seeks it for a Hingan master...thus the abduction."  Placing it back inside the sleeve, Jack & Tsubame both stepped forwards.

"Jacke believed it belongs with the privateers that 'cloyed' it from the Garnet League to begin with, Oboro & I said it belongs in Doma. We...argued. In that span, Yuki, V'kebbe & Underfoot were taken."

Nodding, Jack looked apologetically. "Aye. Then the mad, grinnin' fool came here to boast before saying he'd 'be in touch'. We're waitin' in the darkmans now." Sighing, I was quiet for a moment before I looked up.

"I want to help. Though matters here in Kugane are time limited."

As I said this, Oboro chuckled, which was really out of character for him. "But nevertheless, I will be there." I turned, pointing. "See that building? That's the East Aldenard Trading Company. We are working alongside the merchant Hancock. Send a missive to him. He will notify me when you need me."

"East Aldenard, eh? Lolorito has an interest in your success?"

"I only assume so. Hancock has been notified to spare no measure to assist us." Looking back to my shinobi mentors, I smiled. "But that being said, my duty to my mentors & friends is important to me. I'll be there."

Turning, I cast a glance back to Jacke. "Try not to get into too much trouble Jacke...the rogues can't afford to lose you. Plus, I'd kick your ass back to life if you croaked it." I said, him laughing at my banter.

"Ye know me better than that, sister." He said, clasping my arm in a familial way.

"Arlessia, wait-" Oboro then said as I took a step. He placed a hand on my shoulder. "Thank you. For going to war for my people. To dare...to hope. If you are victorious, every Doman true to their homeland will be indebted to you. This fool among them. Make me proud, my student."

"This isn't goodbye...but I will try to do your faith justice, Master. Now, I must away. Inform me when Karasu has sent his challenge. He won't expect it." I said, shaking his hand. Taking up the bundled jar of sake, I walked out of the alley into the main road by the aetheryte.

Keeping my gaze down to the cobbles as I lowered my presence as much as possible, I glanced right as I neared the teahouse. That woman, again. My heart beating faster as I felt her gaze upon me, I readied myself...but I kept from acting just yet. I had expected this. 

Approaching the stairs, I saw a stumbling drunk in the distance. He would be the patsy. Walking steadily towards him, I knew the woman had begun to follow me. Her intent was readable from my echo, an aching feeling of murderous calm rebuffing off my mind. Not long now.

"'Scuse me." I said, garnering the man's fractured attention.

"Yesh? Wha...Wha ish it?" He slurred, his rose tinted cheeks sluggish as he stumbled on the spot.

"Nothing much. I have a job for you, if you desire. I'll give you this FULL bottle of Sake for your troubles..."  Looking past me to the bottle slung behind me, he then looked back to my eyes, all four of them.

"Alright...I-I'll do it. What do you...need?" He then asked. Smiling at his malleability, I chuckled.

"I need you to distract the woman following me. Green Kimono. Cause a scene."

"Yesh ma'am! Now gimme that sweet, sweet Sake..." He slurred, reaching for it. Handing it over, I nodded. 

"It's all yours." I said, jumping into a sprint as he disposed of his empty bottle, slung his new one & began stumbling towards the spectacled woman as she gave chase.

"Oi-You doin' anything later, lovely? I'd love to see you out of that beautiful getup & on your back, gah heh heh!" He laughed, stopping her directly.

"Out of the way, idiot!" She yelled as I ran to the Shiokaze whilst weaving a stealth incantation. Disappearing before entry.

"Lyse! Come on! We leave out the second floor!" I said, catching her off guard as I brought her into my veil. 

"Wha?! What's happen-" She began, but seeing the look in my eyes, she then nodded. "Got it. Just...make it quick." Moments later, the woman charged into the Shiokaze. Whipping her head around, she scanned the first floor for a moment before sprinting up the stairs, pulling a dagger from her sleeve before she reached the first seating area up the stairway. Waiting for the moment, she ran right past me. 

Snarling out a breath, I then grabbed her.

Shocked that she was being grabbed by nothing, her dagger grip loosened enough for me to disarm her & plunge her own shiv into her right breast three times down to the hilt with measured precision. With the third strike, I left the dagger in her chest before snapping her neck.

Sure to set the body up by shoving it neck first into the railing, I rifled through her pockets as she fumbled around with her hands. They eventually found the blade in her chest as I took a small badge & sprinted away, the last sight of this agent being her sclera bleeding red.

Making my escape as patrons ran down & up to assist the dying woman, I made for the bridge exit upon the second floor. Running through the door, I released my veil as I sat against the railing next to Lyse. "Now, tell me-what happened?!" She asked, at which I produced the badge.

Emblazoned with the sigil of the Garlean Empire, I spat in disgust before throwing it over my shoulder into the canal. Looking to her, I took a few more deep breaths. "Garlean agent-No doubt instructed to kill either you or me. I made it look like an accident as much as I could. Did your questioning work out? I have nothing save that Gosetsu asked around alone." I said, at which she smiled.

"Well, I found a talking catfish by the name of Gyodo that claims he saw both Gosetsu & Yugiri before taking them across the Ruby Sea!" She said. "A...catfish?"  As I said this, I took a final breath with my eyes closed before rising to a stand. "If he tells the truth, it could be a break...but are you certain he speaks true?" I then asked Lyse, who looked forth uncertainly.

"I...uh...no. But what other choice to do we have?" She replied. Nodding, I placed a hand upon her shoulder, seeing she wasn't expecting my doubt.

"No-I understand. We're flying blind. But we go into this with eyes open, aye? Let's go tell the others." I said, looking across the bridge. "Act natural. We leave through the Shiokaze." I directed.

Nodding to me, we then walked back through the doors, descending down towards the situation below. Approaching the huddle, I acted surprised at the scene.

"What happened to her?" I asked one of the men preparing to move her.

"She ran in here after being accosted by a drunk." Draping a red blanket over her, he looked up to me with a grim look. "Was in so much of a hurry that she tripped, breaking her neck & falling onto her dagger. What a tradgedy, hm?"He finished, looking back.

"Aye what a shame. I saw her earlier today...what a beautiful creature."  Gesturing to Lyse to continue down, a pair of Sekiseigumi rushed past.

"Well done." She said as we watched them run up to the scene.

"Thanks. Come, let's not tarry. The Garleans will know she's dead by morning." I said, the two of us walking back to where our allies waited us.

i based this AU a bit from lilo and stitch, in the sense that older brother tyler is struggling to keep him and his baby sister afloat!

i had a lot of fun thinking about what details i wanted to include in this au, specifically their character designs and personalities. and let me tell you, my brain did not let let me draw anything else aside from this au for the whole week LMAO

(kudos to anyone who noticed the cute pink bracelet Tay made for her cool big bro 💙)

[mossy-paws]

Clementine returns. (PHIGHTING!)

deciding to accumulate all of these into a singular post to make my life easier + so that I can have some more food for you all,,, anyways.

My. My son. Clementine my baby my sweet boy,,, Some of these ARE actually reposts but the first 2 are for sure not :3! (I think at least LMAO), enjoy this :3! I must go back to my hole /silly

(Also a bonus as well )

[royalarchivist]

Everyone this week: *lore, conspiracy theories, long conversations with Cucurucho, multiple attempts to summon the Binary Monster*

i think Draxum deserves to have a cat and also be an asshole about it lmao

[forgettable-au]

has papyrus ever accidentally spoken in wingdings?

Well, not really

He can't, he lost the ability to do that

Within my own personal headcanons a font is a defining trait for skeletons and is usually related to who they are

They can change their fonts for a little while:

(Taking these as examples of why I have them being able to change fonts temporarily as a headcanon, first one is Sans obviously not speaking in comic sans and second one, we all theorize that's Gaster but that's not really Wingdings is it?)

But they can't change it permanently

So Papyrus gets a whole different font because he's a whole different person

I want to add that even though they can change fonts temporarily, he wouldn't be able to change to Wingdings since it's a symbol font. Let's say it would be very difficult, unless in special circumstances

One thing I do see Papyrus doing is accidentally writing in Wingdings but that's it, an habit like that stays on the body

[askunwantedguestnarrator]

[Ahh I just saw a new TSP account and wanted to interact.]

May the Narrator tell us more about his character design? Or if they have any special powers or anything?

What about how closely related they are to canon? How much headcannons do they have? Are they still working via canon facts or a separate AU?

[Excuse the long questions, I'm interested and came up with these on the spot]

Sending my regards to the older gentleman and the rest.

anywhoosies, thank you so much for the question, Kat!

I like the didney game. Haven’t played it in months

Happy One Year Anniversary to Boy King AU!!!! 🎉

Okay wait before I start talking, look at these close ups and the process!! Aren't they so beautiful aaaahhhh

Wow, can you believe it’s really been a whole entire year since my very first post about this AU? Well technically I first started talking about the statuette a day earlier, but the very first sketch was exactly a year ago!! Let us not forget the incredibly prophetic tag on that post: “also in the sense of this au i think the only ship that would work(historically accurate wise) is Vettonso.” Who knew that after that my entire life would devolve into vettonso, this specific period of history, and the lovely combo which is Boy King AU. Also wow this means it’s taken me almost a whole entire year to actually draw a joint portrait of them hahaha. I drew this sketch around the beginning of the AU, but never finished it. It’s fine though because this one is a lot better, and I’m in love with it. Took me a year to draw a couple portrait, and took me almost a whole entire month to finish said piece. 

Okay let me explain this piece, which I am very obsessed with!!! I dragged the process out more than I usually would, but I’m glad, because it was so enjoyable. But also look at that fucking crown, no wonder this took almost a month. Usually I’d write like 50 paragraphs detailing the characterization. HOWEVER! I’ve spent over a month writing little bits of characterization, mostly for fun, but also in preparation for this very post. A lot of the earlier ones, I had this drawing in mind, thinking on how I could expand on the ideas I was drawing. Though there’s definitely some things I could still write about. I’ll probably continue to write more Lore a Days, but yeah, they basically amounted to this drawing where you can actually see the characterization I was talking about displayed. Anyways, here are the explanations of bits in the drawing:

First of all, this is some part of the long process of their wedding. Look at the married couple!! Look at their rings!!!

Okay, but why are there two, almost identical looking pieces?? Because look at their hands!! I talked a lot about how Fernando is the one to give out affection more easily, especially in public, where he knows he can easily fluster Seb. He’s acting all grumpy and out of it, I mean to be fair, it’s probably been such a long ceremony across weeks. But he notices Seb is out of it too, just better at keeping his smile (let’s be honest, even if he’s distracted, he’s super smug.) So Fernando catches him off guard by squeezing his hand. Before that, as you can see, Fernando is just resting his hand on Seb’s outstretched palm, like that one scene from Succession. Very: yes I’m getting married, but I’m not happy about it. The combination of Fernando refusing to even touch him more than lightly beforehand but now going full force, them being in public, and Seb already being distracted catches Seb so off guard he has to try to cover his blush with his fan. He thought Fernando was being super impolite, but now he’s the impolite one!! Getting all blushy and giggly over a simple display of affection, perhaps even ha-

So. Their crowns. Seb’s wearing the crown of Austria, because he is in fact only a king still! Also, because I really wanted to try drawing it after I wimped out of it before in this drawing. Fernando’s a king as well by the point, but the fact he’s wearing only a tiara-like hairpiece is to represent how much of an outsider he still is. At this moment, he’s just Seb’s wi- ,I mean husband, to all these guests. Of course this bitch wears a black veil instead of a white one, to signal that he’s mourning the loss of his autonomy and personhood. Don’t worry too much about his mental state though, considering he’s not depressed enough to be able to resist teasing Seb. 

The fan, oh my god. Back in this era, people would gift/make fans for basically any occasion. To symbolize an event, to celebrate something, to show a story, etc etc. I wish I could have drawn something more narrative, but I think the bull vs. horse is good enough. Also you can see those same symbols on the pendants they’re wearing!! I’m so happy when I can fit irl, modern stuff like that into these drawings, it feels so clever!!

It’s so funny, I wrote a lore a day from a prompt about what they’d be like when doing a joint portrait, while I was already almost through painting a dual portrait of my own! So I got to explain some stuff like their clothing colors and poses before I even posted this. I feel very coy about that still honestly. 

Hmmm what else? It feels so weird to not expand on the characterization, considering I already did it for myself weeks in advance. I can’t imagine what it’s like opening this read more, and seeing more than 10 in-text citations. Happy reading!!!

 Happy anniversary to  this wonderful, crazy AU that makes me download 500pg German papers about 18th century etiquette. I drew a couple pieces of fanart before this AU, but I definitely think it jumpstarted my insanity about drawing/making AUs, and literally is what made me insane about Vettonso in the first place. Remember, if I hadn’t learned about Joseph I/Charles VI, most of my blog probably wouldn’t exist in it's current form. Thank you if you’ve stuck around since the beginning, or if you’re even just learning about it now!! It’s so incredibly niche but I’ve had so much fun researching and building this world and these characterizations, and I hope you’ve enjoyed what I’ve made in the process. I hope I can draw/write many more things in the future. I think next, I’m gonna maybe open up requests. I’d like to try to either write ficlets or draw chibi comics about specific Lore a Day posts on request. I think that’d be a lot of fun, but also will probably kill me. We’ll see!! Anyways. PPlease enjoy this absolute labor of love, which is a result of a year’s worth of work.

[annamationsart]

relatively old helen design concepts!! michael sweetie i’ll get to you eventually
