OH BOY MEET "THE CLEANER"

A Finding Frankie OC of mine that I've been brainstorming over for the past few days.

I really don't think I have the right style to draw this, but HAVE IT ANYWAYS

Character lore under the cut. IT'S A LOT AND IM PROUD OF IT

To not get murdered by the monsters, needs to look non-human as ordered by the "HUs"

To the Mage Sisters: What are your opinions on the inhabitants of Planet Popstar? For example, The Great King of Dream Land: King Dedede

Zan Partizanne: Ah yes, the loud mouth penguin. We three are very indebted to him for freeing us of that dark past.

Flamberge: KYAHAHAHA!! That big fluffy penguin sure does eat a lot too! I'll get him in the next pie eating contest, he doesn't stand a chance!

Zan Partizanne: Berge, please stop subjecting your digestive system to such torment.

Francisca: The waddle dees that follow him are just the cutest! They oddly remind me of the jambelievers, only if they were stronger, smarter and capable of building their own civilization!

Zan Partizanne: Now who else....oh right. His knight. Heheh.

Flamberge: Dammit Zan! You're doing that creepy chuckle again! That means you're hiding something from me! Just who is Meta Knight and why do you always act so familiar around him?!

Zan Partizanne: I'll tell you when you're older.

Flamberge: JAMBLASTED- wait......WE'RE ALREADY ADULTS- WHY WOULD I NEED TO-

Zan Partizanne: Anyways, that little masked knight helped us immensely too. Though he doesn't talk a lot to me compared to the other sisters. Which is to be expected. Also, he definitely has issues. A lot of them.

Francisca: He's a very stoic knight, just straight out of a fairy tale~

Flamberge: pfft, he's alright I guess. But I much prefer his evil twin brother! He's just WAY more fun and (somehow) has less problems! seriously that guy has ISSUES.

Francisca: He smells weird though....

Flamberge: That's his signature musk. Easy to get used to! Compared to Zanny's B.O, he smells way less spicier-

Zan Partizanne: what.

Flamberge: -3- ~ 🎵

Flamberge: And we can't possibly forget the other 2!

Francisca: Yes! Same with King Dedede and Mr. Meta Knight, Kirby and Bandana Dee saved our lives too! They're both so adorable and a joy to hang out with!

Zan Partizanne: I admire the puffball's resolve, same with the pointy waddle dee. He's got moves, I admit. Hmph.

Flamberge: KYAHAHA! Zan's always like that whenever he meets another spear user. So competitive-!

Zan Partizanne: .....

Flamberge: Joke! It's a joke! Stop pointing your partisan at me....-3-

Francisca: Let's see....who else....OH RIGHT! How could I forget?!

Marx~! 💖💖💖

Francisca: HE'S JUST THE CUTEST LITTLE THING! JYAAAAAAA!!!

Flamberge: OH- OH HELL NO FRAN, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT BEHIND THAT SMILE IS THE DEVIL! HE'S EVEN WORSE THAN OUR former DARK LORD!!!!!

Zan Partizanne: Never in my life had I encountered such a terrifying ball-balancing clown........Franny, be wary of that awful creature!

Francisca: B-but....he's BABY! Aw......So far he hasn't done anything to me yet. I often hang out with him, Magolor and Chilly!

Flamberge: Chilly? Who's that?

Francisca: The little sentient snowman! We all get along well, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about~

Flamberge: Well, if Franny says so......

Zan Partizanne: We will take your word for it. Oh, as for the other inhabitants, our opinion remains the same. Neutral. Popstar is a wonderfully friendly planet.

Symptoms of what is being called Corruption (or The Corruption of The/Our Voice of Truth) are under the cut! Why exactly it's popping up, and what it is that's causing it will be in another post!

One note is that when it says "glitchy" appearance, it means that it can appear staticky, distorted, hazy, doubled, opaque, a different feature entirely...pretty much anything that isn't naturally occurring in that person.

Another note is that this corruption CANNOT be healed at this point (Gotta spin those three c's first! Or. well. One of them, starting tomorrow), and symptoms can't really be relieved by any means. In fact, trying to heal it will probably make it worse (or at least make symptoms temporarily worsen), since it would just be throwing more energy on something that's corrupting the very energy that comprises...well. Existence.

Early effects (First 3-4 days for corruption from Zhrun/First 7 days for corruption from other):

The sensation of "something/someone" being inside them/their head will steadily grow over the early days of corruption. Very rarely, it will feel (rather than sound) as if something is trying to communicate with them, but it's impossible to understand.

Their presence is somewhat obscured from the Creationary Trio's senses, but they can still ultimately be tracked, and specifics will be known about them after a moment or two of focus.

Living things can be corrupted after 12+ hours of (non-continuous-- the corruption lingers) proximity, or after a short period of physical contact. Non-living things can't be corrupted yet, at this stage.

Regularly occurring feelings of inexplicable fear and dread to varying degrees of moderate to severe, as well as rare periods of confusion and the inability to focus-- though that last two bits may come across more as them being more spacey than they typically would be, or that they're getting sick or tired. The former two can become severe enough to cause physical repercussions, such as nausea, for example.

Magical/"otherworldly" powers are effected. ~15% of the time, the powers will manifest in ways that weren't expected. Stronger or weaker, or altogether a different effect than what was supposed to occur.

Pain begins. Sometimes it spikes to be crippling in its intensity (maybe once or twice a day for 10-30 minutes?), but usually it's a moderate, inexplicable pain. Can't really be explained in any way other than "Something is wrong". A shifter of any sort might say that it feels somewhat reminiscent of being stuck in the middle of a shift. Delerium can be caused by the more intense pain, as well as other physical effects. The mental and physical effects are equally as shitty here.

Early-mid effects (1 week for corruption from Zhrun/1-2 weeks for corruption from other):

Can start to hear echoes of "something", along with the sensation of something being inside them. These echoes are what starts to drive the corrupted to insanity. Still can't understand what's being communicated, but it will start to feel like when a word is right on the tip of your tongue.

Creationary Trio can sense their location, but not specifics about the effected. Easy to track, and relatively easy to cure. Mild side effects after being healed.

Living things are corrupted after 6+ hours of proximity, or after a short period of physical contact. Non-living things can only be corrupted after continued physical contact (~6+ hours)

Occasionally, some of their extremities will seem to grow staticky and warped.

This is when the psychosis first starts to appear, and can be categorized a variety of different things. It's not constant, and rather seems to spring up particularly during times that they can hear the "echo"...which less than a third of the time, but up to half by the later points of this stage. (ie: Difficulty to comprehend or complete things that would typically be automatic processes for them. (breathing, blinking, speaking, etc) Moderately distorted short-term memory, and mildly distorted long-term memory. Severe mood swings. Wild, unpredictable, and/or irrational behavior. Sensing things that aren't there, or not sensing something that is there. Sudden, severe worsening of mental conditions. This is just naming a few though, and honestly if your muse is corrupted and you want them to show the psychosis in a certain way, go nuts, they can show any mix of indicators for it!)

There will be periods of confusion along with the psychosis at times. Not recognizing where they are, or not understanding something that's being said to them (in a language they typically understand). Inexplicable fear and dread typically accompanies this.

Magical/"otherworldly" powers are crippled. About 25% of the time, they don't respond at all, and another 25% of the time, they don't act as intended-- weakening or strengthening at random, or sometimes doing something entirely different altogether. The other 50% of the time, it works as normal.

Pain worsens, but it's the mental effects that are more agonizing at this point.

Periodically, their bodies will act outside their will. Things that seem like muscle spasms, or involuntary vocalizations.

Mid effects (2 weeks for corruption from Zhrun/2-3 weeks for corruption from other):

First start clearly hearing hive mind and "The Voice of Truth", but it's intermittent. The presence from before feels normal now, so the fear/dread response isn't as prevalent, anymore. Passively understands what is being communicated to them, here and there.

Creationary Trio can barely sense them anymore, plus ~15 or so feet around them. Still possible for them to be saved-- the only thing that makes it harder than the lower tiers is that by this point, they're harder to track since they can't be sensed as easily. Mild to moderate side-effects after being healed.

Living things are infected after a short period of proximity (Touch makes it immediate). Non-living things after 12+ hours of proximity (Touch infects after a short period). Other things would take days, if at all, depending on the strength of the corrupted being (Touch only slightly effects this).

Appearance becomes "glitchy" from time to time (5-10% of the time), to varying degrees of severity. When this is happening, they'll be unable to physically interact with anything that isn't corrupted with the parts of them that are effected.

Psychosis severely worsens in this stage; particularly when they're able to hear the hivemind. Short-term memory is sketchy at best and doesn't reliably develop at this point Long-term memory is moderately distorted as well. There will be periods that even people they know will seem foreign or "not quite them". However, they'll be able to recognize those that are experiencing the effect in this category and higher without fail. This group is most likely to attack what it doesn't recognize in an attempt to corrupt (or further corrupt) it.

Magical or "otherworldly" powers they're in possession of only work about half the time. When it doesn't work, the power just doesn't respond at all, or will manifest as an brief, but uncontrollable surge.

Should not be killed, as their energy will immediately return to the Creationary Trio's Well, thus further corrupting it and unbalancing existence as a whole once enough corruption is built up. At this stage, Creation can suppress or convert the energy back, but it takes a good amount of time.

Can no longer die from things like hunger, thirst, age, exhaustion, etc.

If someone in one of the former categories is killed near it, it can "consume" the corrupted energy left behind.

Pain is at its highest level in this stage. At this point, the pain is probably worse than the mental effects, if only because when the psychosis is in effect, the corrupted person won't really be fully aware anyway. The pain, on the other hand...yeah.

Actions will occasionally happen out of their control as "The Voice of Truth's" frequency further corrupts their own. Physical actions can be to the point that the corrupted individual hurts themselves. If in a particularly serious bout of psychosis, they'll talk uncontrollably (presumably to the hive mind, or to The One True Voice itself)-- sometimes in a known language...other times, completely incomprehensibly.

Mid-late effects (3 weeks for corruption from Zhrun/3-4 weeks for corruption from others):

First effected by the hive mind, and compelled to follow The One True Voice's will (intermittent). Can hear it constantly, and fully understands what is being communicated.

Covers the immediate 50 or so feet around them from the Creationary Trio's senses. It's difficult, but still possible for them to be saved from this stage. Mild to major side effects occur after being healed.

Living things are infected immediately (Touch makes it skip to early-mid stage immediately), Non-living things are corrupted after a short period of time (Touch makes it immediate). Everything else would be corrupted after 12+ hours of exposure (touch makes it after a short period of time).

Barely recognizable anymore-- 50-75% of their appearance is "glitchy" at any given time. It's difficult for them to interact physically with non-corrupted objects at all about 50% of the time. Otherwise, it's just with whatever parts of them are "glitched".

Psychosis is in full swing. There's very few moments of clarity, so not only are they hardly themselves by this point, but they'll hardly recognize anything that isn't corrupted to the the point of at least experiencing the effects in the "Mid" category. Whether or not they attack or ignore something that falls into that requirement depends on how attention-catching the thing in question is. (ie: It's attacking them, it's moving around a lot, It's making a lot of noise, etc.)

Any magical or "otherworldly" powers they commanded before are no longer at their disposal. Instead, they are able to wield a somewhat diluted form of Creationary energy, via their new connection to the Creationary Other.

Should not be killed, as their energy will immediately return to the Creationary Trio's Well, thus further corrupting it and unbalancing existence as a whole once enough corruption is built up, and by this level, it's too much for Creation to reliably convert/suppress.

If someone in one of the former categories is killed near it, it can "consume" the corrupted energy left behind.

Pain has mostly receded…or maybe more accurately, isn't registered anymore.

Incoherent babbling and outbursts, coupled with nonsensical or (when "glitched") outright impossible movements. Behavior switches from wild and unpredictable, to dazed and sluggish at the drop of a hat.

Late effects (1 month+):

Too corrupted to be saved with the initially planned cure level-- they no longer belong to the Creationary Trio, but also doesn't fully belong to the The Voice of Truth, either.

Fully integrates with hive mind.

"Infects" anything they're around immediately by touch, or within minutes by proximity.

Tries constantly to reach the The One True Voice. Most seem to wander about aimlessly, trying to find a way into Zhrun.

No semblance of former self remains. Does not recognize anyone that isn't corrupted to the the point of at least experiencing the effects in the "Mid" category, but will mostly ignore them in favor of trying to get to the Voice of Truth.

Fully "Glitched" appearance.

Cannot be killed, but can be temporarily stunned via a few select methods.

If someone in one of the former categories is killed near it, it can "consume" the corrupted energy left behind. It can also simply...revive it right away, instead. Which isn't great either.

1K FOLLOWERS

“MOM, DAD, LOOK! WE’RE FAMOUS!!!!!!!!” --- ohhhh my god- oh my god. this- i was not expecting this. loRD- im- im shocked, but. none the less. happy, happy that this blog has made it this far, proud that even to this day some people still like the content and stuff i have, even if it’s now either heavily outdated, or doesn’t fit within the lore persay, or in this case i lowkey cringe at now due to my writing style JKGDFKHKFHKDFHK but still, 1k and 94 followers... hollly shit... i wanted to do something special, like- make an message or something but. Christ im just. too excited i just went and did this, im glad that this blog has managed to stay up to date, glad that people still find stuff on here funny or good or decent, and im glad overall that i still have friends here that remain, i am sorry everyone for not being as active as i’d like to be, i wANT to be more active, really. i do. it’s just been... yeah, a bit hard at the moment. but lord... i’ve been here... probably since the start of the game itself in essence... and just over-time. the blog has grown into SO much more. im proud of what was gained, and what was had, the people i met along the way, people that i still keep in touch with, they helped me so much with ideas, lore, advice, and mentally helped me overall become a better and more mature person than how i was in 2017 and onwards. im proud to have made it this far, 6 whole years ever since this whole blog began, and it’s anniversary is coming in two months, 5 and a half years or so since this blog and AU started, and in just two months, it’s gonna be 6 years old... a lot has changed, a lot HAS been changing, me making the story and AU feel more grounded in some manner to the actual games but still having some elements of the original AU’s script intact. originally this blog was just meant as a simple modern retelling of bendy and the ink machine. told through asks, and ofc, after the events of ink machine AND i guess dark revival at this point, and you’ve all, watched me, and these characters i’ve used, to grown and mature and evolved over time. becoming more than what they were. becoming basically special. i hold them all dearly ro my heart, i loved using these guys, and i love the interactions they have, including Prowler’s. he’s made so many friends on here. so many relationships, and yet. only a few remained. the only ones he found again, were my boys @ask-modern-demon @ask-soul-bendy @ask-the-demon-of-joey-studios and @onexeyedxtwin​ ‘s own bendys but even then. i still remember the memories and interactions that they all had overall. but.. thank you all. thank every single one of you, this blog has grown so much, and i hope that over-time. it will continue to grow as i improve the AU a lot more, to make it truly a lot more better than it really is, with that being said. in order for me to truly make some of these stories in the blog matter i have but one simple announcement. throughout this time frame. i have only truly ever completed was FOUR arcs, the first was the halloween crossover arc, the second was the recovery arc, back when i had prowler with the purple eye. and the third arc that was the more recent ones, was the Faded arc, despite how shortlived it was. and of course. most recently in last late last year or so. maybe in late 2021 or something. Prowler’s Revenge Arc, the rest of the arcs after? either never went anywhere, or were eventually scrapped and discontinued. that being said, i am going to be remaking an very old arc on here. to have it fit in MORE with the new lore and a hint of things to come in the memory loss arc and the finale of the lanky saga overall. i am going to be merging both the halloween crossover, AND the recovery arc, into one story that i’ll be making over-time, ofc it’ll probably be published after i finally finish the new and improved main story AND the one people have probably been asking for in secret. my take on Dark revival in this AU. it is coming, and the reboot to the OG story will be a thousand times more better than how it was originally. but yeah, i am going to be rebooting and merging two of those old completed arcs, into an story of sorts cause i do NOT want to scroll all the way down to the halloween posts and remake them all, because one it would take forever, and two. i simply genuinely don’t know how else to make it better so. the old halloween arc will simply just be an standard halloween thing with prowler being over-reactive, the REAL story to that arc, will be posted sometime whenever i have a grasp of what to do, obviously im not keeping in the crossover, that just ain’t right. hence why im merging in both the recovery and halloween arc into one story. i dunno when each ‘chapter’ will be posted but i guess expect it as things yet to come before we finally put an end to the lanky saga, and have things go back to a bit more normal and happy go lucky around blog, i love the comedy, i love the interactions, and the asks that makes my characters just question their own reality JGDFKHFKHKFH, and i miss that, i felt like i made this blog WAY too serious real fast. but yeah. that’s all, thank you all. for being here with me, from start to present, it’s been nearly 6 years since this blog began, and we have finally done it, finally made it to 1k, and im just... happy, so... again. thank you all. i mean it.

stay safe out there people. this is toon, your friendly tired artist and writer, and friend, here’s to hoping the rest of 2023 won’t be me becoming an cryptid again LOL... but yeah. thank you one and all, i mean it. even to my friends. you all helped me grow as a person, and so... with that... one last time before i finish this post... thank you. every single one of you... that is all! hope you all are excited, i know i am.

[mariska]

well! bye everyone i'm off to re-read my fav book trilogy of all time that i havent read since their original releases when i was a teenager and also finally get to read the prequel that i never got around to reading for the first time so. i'll see u guys on the other side and by other side i mean i'll see u guys when i re-emerge into society drenched in blood and tears rambling about all the new mental evidence i will have collected for my years-long headcanon that Katniss is autistic and sobbing about how many more details of the whole story i understand on a more profound and deep level than my teenage self was capable of processing properly

[avastyetwats]

Stede can you tell us what’s so different about you and Izzy((izzyeffinhands muns Izzy))versus you and Ed? I thought you were desperately in love with Ed but you seem closer to Izzy than you were to him? Why did you fall for Izzy? ((sorryifthatstoomanyquestions but I really like Stede and Izzy))

"Things... happened between us. I won't go into detail of what happened between Ed and I, but we wanted different things and he needed time on his own which I respect. So, he stayed behind while I left with the crew, continuing my life as a Pirate Captain. I wasn't ready to leave them, anyway, and knowing how hurt Izzy was, and because of me, I couldn't just... not be there for him. But it was during that time that we grew closer, Izzy and I. Much closer than either of us ever expected given our... rather hostile beginning." There's a smile now on Stede's face as he thinks about Israel - how far they've come and where they are now.

"Turns out, Izzy and I have a lot in common. We've bonded through our shared pain, our similar trauma, and our longing to just... belong. To belong somewhere and with someone and that's what I've found with Izzy. Belonging. We found comfort in each other, we found a home, we found love, we found acceptance, and just... so much more, so much that I never truly understood until Izzy." After all, his marriage to Mary had been one of convenience and not love, so there was so much Stede missed out on. That they both missed out on, but Stede had all of that now. And so much more.

"I've also shared so many firsts with him that I can't imagine having shared with anyone else. He's just... everything to me, to put it simply. Everything. I've found so much with him, and because of him, I've discovered so much about myself because of him and gods," He laughs, tears now spilling from his eyes. "This is what happens anytime I talk about him, or even just think about him. There just aren't enough words to explain what I feel for Israel Hands or why, but just know that I love him." He smiles, eyes shining with unbridled joy, no doubt or regret to be found. Never, "Not only is he the love of my life, but he's my light. The sun isn't the cause for my days being bright and warm, he is. Just as the ocean has no end, nor does my love for him."

Gods, he went on and on didn't he? It was easy to become lost in his thoughts about Izzy, to just talk about him with the happiest smile on his face. Every word was the truth. Every word honest and genuine. And they still had a lifetime ahead of them.

After his waking conversation in the inn, Alaun turns to introspection. [A further look into the paladins head and his reasons for following the code]

-

Surrounded by unknowns in a city once filled with life, the inn was a place of rest and small comforts.

The latest paladin to walk through it's doors had finally woken, tension bleeding out of his body, not once it was confirmed he was safe, but when his hesitant offer to stay and protect was refused.

It's like Seelah and Wenduag said, paladins are crazy. Allthough they meant it very differently.

Alaun was a paladin, but first he was a soldier. He had an underlying practicality, and understanding of people. The so called 'naivete' of paladins was less ignorance on his part, and more shoving your hand into what you know is a deadly trap and praying to whatever god can hear you that you can defuse it before it takes the limb.

He probably wasn't the only paladin like that, calculated recklessness is par for the course and just because you believe and follow your oaths doesn't mean you don't know better.

Blind faith in people is hard to come by in the world wound, so hard it almost comes back around to trust. The place is so bleak and your chances alone are so slim, what does it matter if you die to a centerpede or a blade in the back. Dead is dead. Well mostly.

A long way of saying he knew wenduag was not entirely on their side. That the hope she would stick around was doomed to wither- or die to locusts and hellfire. It made him all the more a fool he supposed. But he had been a fool for a long time, and he would be for much longer, gods willing.

He did believe in helping people, in walking with an outstretched hand, in making what little good you can in this world.

But he had woken up entombed by the corpses of his comrades, woken up to flashes of traitors opening the gates to the demonic hordes that had been laying seige.

He woke up to a broken city drowning in corpses.

With him alone, shimmering with Iomedaes light, alive.

He would not let this city share the same fate.

[radioactive-mouse]

um….. ya hi turgles enjoyers. sorry the mp100 disease got me
