#dr. paracosm

[ancientphantom]

Welcome to February! The beginning of the year was a bit quiet, as it usually is, but we have a few offerings!

The Phantom of the Opera by Dara Kwan is a new adaptation for children aged 6-12 from Pop! Lit. The book seems to follow Raoul as the main character, which might mean we don’t get the Persian’s perspective, but we won’t know until we read!

Leroux Less Traveled is a neat new one - a podcast based on the original novel by Leroux, with discussions of its events and characters chapter-by-chapter! They’ve only released episodes for the first couple of chapters, so get in on the ground floor now. (If nothing else, the French pun in the title is a delight.)

Phantom Heart by Medusa Maehem is this month’s “maybe it’s related, maybe it isn’t” outlier: it appears to be a genderflipped Phantom situation, with a leading lady who is severely scarred from past traumas and avoids letting people see her as a result... but her love interest is a few thousand years old and possibly a god, and also Atlantis is involved? Read to find out more, I guess!

Cyber Phantom by Dr. Paracosm is a science fiction novel set a thousand years in the future, and features a masked vigilante with cybernetic prosethetics who is making a nuisance of himself to the rest of society. For bonus points, there are aliens in this universe, and no one is quite sure what species the Phantom is...

And that’s it for now, but stay tuned for next month when it’ll be time for the Romantic Phantoms to reign supreme!

whats your process for naming characters i think they all have very fun and whimsical names so im curious

i kinda just make stuff up on the spot based on words that i know will fit the character, search up names to find a good meaning (esp for non-european names), or make something up!

sometimes the name has nothing to do with the character and sometimes it does, but for the names that do mean something, typically that meaning is compressed in the last name. either a fancy sounding word that fits the character, a pun, or both - such as poemu paracosman, who's name is a pun on paracosm, which relates to the fact that she uses art and her original characters as an escape from the real world. poemu as a name has little relation to her character itself.

when the both the first and last name relate to the character, they're always almost relative to each other. take vivica de la crux and diane lodestar for example. vivica de la crux almost makes a phrase with a double meaning - either "war of the cross" or "alive of the cross". that relates to the fact that vivica both lives for the clear crucifix organisation, and also has her own inner conflict regarding her own trust and loyalty to the organisation.

diane lodestar is a similar layered name. diane means "divine" or "bright" - lodestar refers to a type of star that's used for navigation. so her name essentially means "bright navigation star", which refers to the fact that she's the president of a space exploration company and literally guides the company.

for characters who's names don't come from a actual word, name with deep meaning, or pun, usually it's just a fitting first name (occasionally a reference to something) with a fun last name that consists of two words slapped together.) take nova starbridge - nova relating to supernovae, and starbridge just sounding cool and catchy - and clyde blacktooth - clyde referring to bonnie and clyde (which also relates to his partners-in-crime relationship with DJ V-CON), and blacktooth being cool and catchy.

of course there are also characters who's names either have nothing to do with their character at all, and just "fit". like dr. "something" savory, octavia s., or weiss wallace. really naming conventions come more from a feeling than a necessity for me, and deeper name meanings don't necessarily mean more story relevance for a character!

[maddgical-boy]

Hi! I'm still new to figuring out madd/id stuff, I didn't even know there was a name for it until recently but I've been doing it for years. I have a couple questions tho-

How many paracosms do people usually have? I have about a dozen that are still "active", with varying levels of development, but most of the madd blogs I've found seem to have just a few.

Is it normal/okay that a lot of my parames (I think that's the right word- paras that are like the "first-person character" but not just a daydream version of myself?) have partners, even though I'm dating someone irl? When I overthink it, I feel weird that I'm daydreaming about a relationship with someone other than my partner (who I love more than anyone or anything), even if it's just a character I made up. I still think of these para partners as "[parame's name]'s partner" and not "my partner," like I'm just roleplaying as an OC, but.. idk. What do you think?

Hopefully this made sense and wasn't too ramble-y, and I hope you're having a great day/night!

-🎆💜 (hopefully that anon tag isn't already taken lol)

hi hello! happy to have you here! :D i'm no expert except on my own experiences but i would first say as a blanket answer to your questions: anything goes! it is all okay! im a big believer personally in live and let live so however and whatever you daydream about is a-ok with me 👍 but i shall give some more responses below if you feel so inclined to read

there's not a set number really, to me it's just about... however much your brain feels like storing LMAO. or whatever you personally want to call a paracosm vs. a story vs. whatever other words. i would guess though that online, even if people have A Lot a lot, they probably only list a few in great detail because it's just easier or because some are more personal than others. (like personally, i have many paracosms that i just don't talk about much bc i am shy lol)

i think that's perfectly okay and normal! it's all fictional so it has no irl bearings. from what i know, even in the selfship community where people think of a fictional character as their partner specifically and also have an irl partner, they're all understanding and cool with it. which isn't your situation exactly, but it's where the anxiety is coming from i assume.

but TL;DR:

i hope you got some reassurance, have a lovely day/night wherever you are! happy daydreaming~

[ellesnorthernstar]

ughhh deadass wanna tell my dr world to someone. where’s my worldbuilders/paracosm shifters?

[solannecontinuum]

I got into VOICES OF THE VOID in September and took a particular liking to the mannequins... to the point I discovered a Paracosm character in there!! After some shenanigans with Dr. Kel, they eventually befriend each other and she just enjoys hanging out with Dr. Kel and co! Sometimes making a mess with her besties WWW based on some real things that happened watching one of my friends play it ww

Her name is Betzy! She has a very urban and chic vibe to her, and apparently has fingers (which means something significant from the mannequin society she was exiled from.). No one knows where she gets her clothes from or how she even grabs a hold of them ... but it plays a part as to why she had been exiled from her original society.

Alongside her is Angelicca, her best friend who followed her despite her exile. Mannequins seem to be made of different wood and thus vary in appearance! While Betzy vibes with the bustling city look, Angelicca gravitates to very feminine attire, especially if it's yellow. She also has a whole thing for butterflies, as it is one of her biggest dreams to observe them on the surface.

[daydreaming-memories]

ok I know next to nothing abt cookie run SO....what are the major locations in your paracosm (like the ones you daydream/think abt the most) and who are the main paras (and...what are they like lol)?

Also combining all your paracosms is *chef's kiss* incredible love that for you <3

GOD this has been sitting forever as like the cookie run blanket paracosm has been dormant for a good bit now. So i’m just gonna copy paste the first attempt. Then talk about the current paracosms and activity levels LOL, note like this was last edited around ~2022. Though added some things in pink

Also depending on length I might split this into two w a reblog

This is the version 2, but including version one just like as a reminder of what was which I’ll throw as a reblog onto this. As I’ve been trying to rehone things with this, and feel free to ask more questions, though I may take a bit to respond as I am sick right now and there are storms brewing in my area. 

Plus working on a sort of side blog about my original/inspired projects, that isn’t just daydreaming based but most are and just a general brainrot blog to work on the exclusive “mega paracosm” (daycosm 3) into a more defined version with only inspired characters and not straight up canon characters. 

The major locations of my paracosms like the previously mentioned version 1 are not consistent enough yet to talk a good chunk about, it’s kind of like a mmo or a first draft right now so going to go onto to talk about some paras, these aren’t all nor all main paras as the paras that are focused on change a lot, with new ones being added based on newer or even older interests coming back, and/or a hyperfixation. But as mentioned in version 1 they are super violetial and are prone to change.

Taking inspiration from @/Theaufaverse and their gangs/groupings of characters [their blog isn’t strictly daydreaming based], though this did exist in my paracosm beforehand I’m putting generally more focus on it and making it more obvious. But you’ll probably see other non-popular media/creations being used as inspiration like @/spherearc and the council of favorites [though this did exist beforehand in my paracosm it just was never named]

Though not going fully in depth about every para, I'm going to try to do an overview-ish about them. Feel free to ask more questions, and if anyone has old paras they want to see try to get used, or a paracosm they aren’t working on anymore feel free to talk to me. idk im bored.

Also generally not going to talk about any au versions, yet. They still need some time in the oven, but just going to mention some I’m working on [feel free to ask about] just know that they need more time in the oven currently so information is bound to change about them and such. Or any not mentioned you know I have had.

Rise academy, Killing favorites,  Luathrope, Guardians of Lua, Guardians of harmony, Friendshipverse, Mini frontiers, Ashopia, Shape people, Rpverses aus, and the many ones in the “pil”verse [this isn’t even close to all of them], feel free to even like ask about ones I haven’t thought of just like make it clear it’s not a pre-existing one. (This is outdated, there are new groupings and shiz)

Honestly I don’t really know how to explain the main paras or main groups due to the big rewriting of the paracosm so gonna try my best but note they are wips, and things are bound to change. These are going to be primarily the original paras, so :3

Feel free to ask more questions about the ones above or give me emoji (3+), aesthetics, songs or generally things like those to get unmentioned characters that I feel fit. It could be anyone mentioned here though, just based on what I feel fits. also may give lore it depends on what is asked y'know?

also gonna generally ask to keep asks to 1 question per ask unless heavily tied together to try to help me not sit on asks for months. 

like you can give multiple emoji prompts just separate them with for example commas. But like songs keep to a single ask per song generally, or relationships with other characters.

If anyone has any prompts feel free to share with me may do little one shots [cannot guarantee] or if anyone wants to tag me in any character templates (using the term character templates as that’s more widely seen) & I’ll do them with my paras as I see if or if requested of a certain one.

Alright now onto the new

Current system’s paracosms for those curious and general status:

Daycosm 3 - The system’s Centrecosm, it’s a blanket paracosm with various events and groups being their own subcosm. This paracosm is very much just primparas, various alter paraselves, and paratenres. This is a story about time loops and cycling, and how you can always give things a new try. But also about loss, forgiving and letting go.

Rpverse - This is a daycosm 3 “buddycosm” aka these two paracosms are so intertwined but Are Not subcosms of each other. This paracosm isn’t talked about much these days as it needs a lot more work than daycosm 3 to get presentable. A Lot of daycosm 3 paras have counterparts here. Active.

Into the flip pit - Active, a blanket paracosm which subcosms follow various groups. A collab paracosm by the system, which is mainly Fnaf & Dsaf based though there are non-fnaf related things included like Faith the unholy trinity and EcopportunityX, along with a small bit of pokemon.

Nightcosm -3 - This is just the blanket paracosm for various aus of daycosm 3, each au are typically their own subcosm. Though rpverse aus are typically lumped in here just for convenience. This paracosm is always active though what subcosms are is a different story.

Aether life - This is the current name of the cookie run paracosm, majorly inactive. This needs alot of reworking as we really want to strip the paracosm of all the cookie run barcodes as we’re so tired of the actions of the parent company devsisters.

Fallen hearts - This is a paracosm based on exomemories of various system members, this is an active paracosm but weary of sharing it. Because most paras are all paraselfs for various alters and a lot of them are fictive introjects with their canon source selves being commonly seen as sexy, hot, ect. Which most of the alters are weirded out about being directed towards them.

Minecosm - Dormant, this paracosm only gets mentioned as it was the system’s first major paracosm being based off of minecraft. Though there are some attempts to bring it back, though this paracosm was originally a sandbox paracosm which is why it’s not touched much.

Shape realmverse - Sorta active, a paracosm that’s a batshit insane rewrite of a silly roleplay the system got attached to but ended up hating how the source went down. This paracosm is technically a mutual paracosm as the original sources still give influence to this. Though this paracosm isn’t as developed as others due to how much effort it takes to rewrite the lore.

Three realms - Sorta active, Mutual paracosm technically, a paracosm I stole from my mutual after they stopped enjoying the og source. But I’m honestly scrubbing the barcodes of the source from this because I’m so tired of said source. 

Scorned Reverence Ava - Semi-Inactive, this paracosm’s activity really depends on drake as that’s his paracosm. This is an animator vs animation paracosm, though a lot of common fanon hcs are purposefully Not canon here. As this paracosm is lowkey also drake’s exomemories of his source.

Of Ash and Fire - Semi-inactive, a crossover of some daycosm 3 subcosms and a sort of friend’s story. Though this paracosm is likely getting turned into a subcosm for daycosm 3 and the fictparas having their barcodes scrubbed off.

Of Smoke and roses - Active, a hard to describe paracosm but I’d consider it a PAradaptive. It’s a super personal paracosm that is a personal crossover of 3 medias along with daycosm 3. This paracosm likely will not be mentioned further due to the personal details in it.

[acircusfullofdemons]

For the ask meme: questions 1-10 for the last 3 paras you’ve daydreamed about PLUS whatever questions Emory can/wants to answer 😈 (<- evilly gets you to talk about your paras) (if it’s not too much of an undertaking). -👁️‍🗨️

[ ASK GAME] || Last 3 paras I daydreamed about were Ozzie, Neil, and a few canon characters from their source that don't have para/maac equivalents yet (save for maaybbee Lucky Moth & Arachne). SO I'm gonna force Emory to answer these as well! (/j he's being nice today lol)

1.) What’s your name? Pronouns?

Emory: My name is Emory. I don't really care about pronouns, but [Luka] uses he/him for me.

Ozzie: Dr. Oswald Octavius, but most people call me "Ozzie", and I encourage you to do the same! My pronouns are he/him.

Neil: Oh I have a name. A human name. A totally normal, believable human name. That I will share now! ....N...Neil...? Yes, that's it. My totally normal and legal human name, that is definitely in any name-finding systems you may or may not have. My pronouns are....uh. None of your business (he doesn't know what they are, I use he/him but tbh I doubt he'd care what you'd use).

2.) What’s your gender and sexuality?

Emory: Being an...interdimensional being, I don't exactly have either of those. The sexuality that describes me best is asexual I believe. I feel no attraction to anything. Gender? I am a cat. Cats don't have gender.

Ozzie: I'm a cis, bisexual male.

Neil: People have tried explaining "gender" to me and I still don't get it. I have sex with Ozzie. Is that anything?

3.) How would you describe your aesthetic?

Emory. Libraries. Old books. Cats, naturally.

Ozzie: Oh let's see...lab coats, octopuses, robots, turtlenecks, am I doing this right?

Neil: Teeth. Claws. Sports? Is it supposed to be things we like? Then Ozzie. Fighting. Food, but specifically ice cream and doughnuts.

4.) What are your hobbies?

Emory: Reading, traversing the different paracosms/dimensions, watching [Luka]'s life play out.

Ozzie: Well, I mostly try to take care of my actuators, they're quite a handful! But I also like to read, I've taken up knitting recently! I will admit, most of my time nowadays is spent teaching Neil how society works.

Neil: Eating, sleeping, fighting. I used to fight Lucky Moth as a hobby, but that was less of a "hobby" and more of a "job". But now I help him fight crime! That's definitely a hobby, I don't do it all the time. I dunno. I'm pretty active in general, so I've tried just about every outdoor activity there is.

5.) How old are you? (Can be as vague or specific as you feel comfortable!) Does your age change at all? If so, which age are you most frequently? Do you “act your age”?

Emory: Hm. Old. I consider myself ageless. There is a version of me in Phantasmagoria that was portrayed as 19, though that happened long ago and

(Ozzie doesn't have a determined age yet, somewhere around 45-51?? His FC is 70 which. damn Alfred Molina is still hot af.)

Neil: I. I don't know...Somewhere around Ozzie's age, I guess? An adult?? I'm told I'm like a toddler sometimes.

6.) What’s the name of your paracosm/source (if applicable)? How would you describe your paracosm/source? (Can be a physical description or like a summary of the plot!)

Ozzie & Neil are the Spiderman villains Doc Ock & Green Goblin respectively. They're my own personal take on the characters, namely wanting to see different variants of them like we saw different spiderpeople in Spiderverse. A lot of their characterizations take inspo from the live action Spiderman films — the ones that star Tobey Maguire & Andrew Garfield. Their subcosm/volume name in MaaC is "A Plague of Octopuses", because Neil's alias is Plague & Ozzie is, well, octopus themed.

Emory: My "source"? Let's see. I was always "part" of Phantasmagoria, though it isn't exactly my "home". I consider that the now defunct paracosm "At the Graveyard", [Luka]'s old Creepypasta paracosm. That is where my backstory technically originates from. Phantasmagoria is like living in a video game. At the Graveyard was mainly about Slenderman hiring a Seer/Medium/one who could see ghosts to deal with the ghost problem. I never had a problem with the various ghosts there, but that might be because I'm a cat and ask for things nicely.

7.) Do/Did you consider yourself a veritbond?

Emory: yes.

(the other two are regular paras so. they cannot answer this question. personally, I don't consider them as such.)

8.) Are/Were you a primpara (“original character”), a fictpara (para from a show/movie/game/book/comic/etc), a fictpara (someone the host/daydreamer knew or knew of IRL/thisverse), or somewhere in between?

Ozzie & Neil are fictparas! Technically. I've definitely put way to many headcanons & aus into them at this point (even tho it's been...like 5 days lmao someone help them). So like most of my "fictparas", they're actually a horrible mix of prim/fictpara lol.

Emory is a primpara, but based/inspired by a number of fictional talking cats (Cheshire, Binx from Hocus Pocus, The Cat from Coraline, Salem the Cat), however his main inspo was all the different Stan Lee cameos the MCU had. I wanted something like that for Phantasmagoria, a character that was somehow always there, yknow? Anyway. I have a draft of Emory’s opinions on those kitties that I keep forgetting to post.

9.) Are/Were you a parame (“main character”)? If not, do you know the parame?

Emory: I keep watch over everything happening, so I find myself in close proximity to the ever-changing parames. Neil seems to be the current parame that's getting focus, though unfortunately I haven't gotten a chance to met him in-paracosm yet.

(yeah he doesn't really interact with MaaC as a whole idk why :/)

10.) Are/Were you a paraself (“self insert”)? If not, do you know the paraself?

Emory: Do I know the — I wish I could say I didn't. Vincent has caused a great deal of trouble — especially as Entropy. Though I'll admit, Calypso is more tolerable, if I had to choose out of the two.

12.) What is your level of awareness when it comes to daydreams? Are you aware of other paracosms? Can you access them or are they unreachable to you?

Emory: The Daydreams are like a play for me, almost. I have my "role" that I fufil to the best of my ability. I can access everything there is, whenever I wish to. Very useful for when I don't want to be part of a current situation.

13.) Do you have any control over a paracosms, paras, or daydreaming? Do you have any control over yourself in daydreams?

Emory: I can block off paracosms if I wish. I don't do it very often because [Luka] is a toddler that needs to be entertained 24/7.

(RUDE >:()

18.) Do you interact with the MaDD or ID community at all? Why or why not?

Emory: I've managed to convince [Luka] to set up a blog for me on here. They've gotten as far as typing a pinned post and saving a few drafts. Both of us go back and forth on doing so. For me, it doesn't really matter. I just want something to resemble my library, and if I can get it through a measly little blog, then fine. I can't control [Luka]'s body, just ask them nicely to type things for me (as they are so generously doing now), so there isn't much that can be done if they don't want to do something.

44.) If you feel comfortable, show us what you look like! (picrew, ArtBreeder, art, etc)

[Luka] has shared drawings of my where I'm a black cat with magenta eyes. This is an accurate depiction of me. I also have a "human" form that I use less often, but will if necessary. I believe everyone is familiar with my cat form [source] [source], so here is what I look like as a human (art by [Luka]):

and edits [Luka] has done of me:

[chainsawgirlfriend]

Zombies have been one of my special interests since the summer before seventh grade. I have approximately 1million zombie OCs, most of whom are love interests or major supporting characters, and 1thousand zombie-based paracosms!

Here are some of my zombs :3 it's too close to bed to write much about them now, but a lot of them also have human forms/AUs and appear in St. Agatha City (my dating sim lol) =w= In order are Michael, Jonah, Axel, Copper, and Joey originally from Zombie Lane (which has a zombie main cast of nineteen total, and two humans), Kandi from City of Elsewhere, Adam and Claude from Empathy in the Apocalypse, and Dr. Archimedes Etcetera Marrow from Idle Town :3

Bonus is Connor, who considers himself a zombie, and has Cotards syndrome ^__^

[scorpiolight-madd]

I just want tons of info abt ur paracosms as they look coolio

AAAAHSBSYAHSQH???? THANK YOU???

aaaaa I’m prolly gonna talk a lot so under a readmore we go wheeee

OK SO REBELLION IS MY MAIN BBY RN i love itttt

I’ve mentioned earlier taht it’s gone by a few names at this point like Sonic Boom: Underground (sb:u) and Trouble Keeps you Running Faster (tkyrf) but Sonic Rebellious is prolly gonna be the finalized name 💙💙💙

ANYWAYS it’s a continuation of both Sonic Underground and Sonic Boom, where the events of Sonic Boom take place 10 years after Underground.

A LITTLE is changed abt underground, but for the most part, unless it comes up in the current day of the story (like the backstory between manic and rouge) its probably the same. The backtory for the story, though, is that shortly after the events of underground, the triplets adopted tails as their little brother, before Manic goot killed defending them (he's not actually dead, just captured, but they don't know that.) The grief tore Sonic and Sonia apart, Sonic wanting to run away from the war to keep Tails safe, while Sonia felt bound by a sense of duty. They ended up parting on bad terms, both feeling hurt at the other's descision (Sonia felt it was selfish for Sonic to run, while Sonic felt that Sonia didn't care enough about them to come with).

Meanwhile, Knuckles, guided by a spirit of his people (Tikal) ends up shattering the Master Emerald in a ritual designed to nullify the Chaos Emeralds' power until it can be reformed, in order to keep any from falling into Robotnik's hands again. Unfortunately, the ritual was originally designed so each member of the tribe would have a piece of their mind linked to a shard so they could recover their piece when the time came to rebuild the Master Emerald. However, since Knuckles is the last, his sole mind took on the responsibility of the entire tribe, shattering across the planet along with the shards. As long as he kept one piece, he could retain his mind and memories, but he didn't trust himself to keep it safe in his state, and so he entrusted it to Sonia, losing his memories in the process.

Timeskip to ten years later, Sonic and Tails have made their way and settled into Bygone Island, as has Knuckles, and they, along with Amy, a resident of the island, teamed up to continuously take down Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, the son of Dr. Julian Robotnik. (They're two seperate characters bc I didn't want to deal with the logistics of making them the same and I felt it would be a neat dynamic. Eggman also mentions having a dad in the show, and it's implied he doesn't have a good relationship with him, so I felt it would work to make them father and son. I'm gonna mention them a lot so from here on: Eggman is the one from Sonic Boom, and Robotnik is the one from Underground).

They've become a pretty close-knit group, with on-again-off-again member Sticks, when suddenly Sonia shows up out of the blue and kinda throws a wrench in everything simply by being there. Meanwhile, Shadow, who works for and believes himself to be created by Robotnik, has grown fed up with his treatment of Manic, who he has secretly bonded with over the years, and breaks him out of his prison. The events of the finale of Boom, where Shadow tries to destroy the multiverse by trappng the two alternate versions of Eggman in his cave hideout, was a test. If they failed, then the multiverse would be destroyed, which Shadow saw as a potentially favorable outcome, but the more likely (as well as his preffered) outcome was that they succeed, and Shadow would be able to trust them to take care of Manic, as he knew he wouldn't be able to for long, since he works for Robotnik (Shadow doesn't know they're siblings at this point)

So Shadow breaks Manic out of prison and has him stay in his cave hideout for a bit while he recovers, and then Shadow goes back to get his medallion. However, Robotnik catches him as he gets it, and so he has to get back to the village as fast as he can. Unfortunately, when Sonic sees Shadow with Manic's medallion (WHo he still presumes is dead), he assumes the worst and flips out and they get in a huge fight. Shadow ends up trying to get back to Manic, only for Sonic and SOnia to chase him down, resulting in their reunion.

Eventually, though, Robotnik catches up, and the village is destroyed. The team does their best to evacuate the villagers, but its only when Eggman is convinced to help do they manage to escape with minimal casualties. (Its for complicated reasons; he says it's because he can't rule over the village if there's no villagers to rule over, but in actuality he's grown attached to Sonic and his friends, and also wants to make a stand against his father and step out of his control).

As they leave the island to return to Robotropolis, Sonia returns the Master Emerald shard Knuckles gave her, restoring a piece of his memory.

ANYWAY thats the beginning of the story and theres a LOT more after that but I haven't decided on an order for everything past that yet RIP

HERES all the characters i have refs for so far (This isn't all the characters, obvi, it just takes a long time to draw refs for every character), and another one with concept art (and stock art for Aleena and Robotnik, since i dont have anything else for them yet rip)

(from left to right, Sage, Cosmo, Tails, Zooey, Amy, Metal Sonic, Sonic, Sonia, Manic, Knuckles, Shadow)

(From left to right, Charmy, Cosmo, Tails, Sticks, Amy, Espio, Maria, Silver, Sonic, Sonia, Manic, Aleena, Rouge, Stone, Sleet, Robotnik, Vector, Knuckles, Eggman, Shadow, Dingo)

ALSO YEA mobians in this au have the same average height that humans do bc i thought itd be funny and i like playing with character designs

Cursed Planet / Ruined World

OKAY so these two are techincally the same paracosm with two different casts of characters, one being all fully original characters, the other being mostly canon characters from different media and a handful of fancharacters. HOWEVER, since there's no real plot, I'm gonna talk about the setting, because that's the actual important thing in these two.

The City exists in a pocket dimension, created by an entity that feeds off of the despair and suffering of the living. While she can change and control the entire City on a whim, and create literally anything in her domain, she can't feed off of what she creates, and so she pulls beings from other dimensions to be transported to The City.

The City itself is constantly changing, and only exists as an actual city in its current iteration. It is warped, eldritch, and twists itself to the perception of its inhabitants. The more people fear a place, the more twisted and horrifying it becomes, to match its perception.

Fears increase at night, and so the City becomes more dangerous. That shadow out of the corner of your eye is always exactly what you fear it to be.

While the City itself is entirely under the entity's control, the people she summons to inhabit it aren't, and so she cannot just cause them to suffer. She must use the city to bring them to despair, but the human spirit is indomitable, and hope always has the chance to win out.

(Here's where the main difference in the two lays, the original characters one is mostly cynical assholes with one or two rays of sunshine like Alice Read and Sveta, and their groups tend to struggle a lot more with keeping morale up. Meanwhile, the fandom one has Sonic the g-ddamn Hedgehog, who will literally kill g-d to bring hope to his friends, so, like, the entity's kinds fucked with him around)

Don't Split the Party

heehooheehooheehoo dungeons and dragns :]

this is the one ive had for like, the longst, and its just me putting every character ive ever liked in a dnd settign. It's so big at this point that it doesn't really have one plot, it's an entire world where every person has their own thing going on. The main ones I can think of are Sonic Wachowski, an Elven Ranger going off to save his adopted parents, only to find out that his fox familiar is a shapeshifting Artificer boy, and the misadventures of the Red Guild, particularly Scout as he runs around with Justice and Alyx, a Tiefling Bard and a Fairy Artificer. There's also my parame Rua, the Half-Elf Ranger, and their adventures with their adopted sisters, and their boyfriend Barney Calhoun, a Human Paladin.

There's a LOT going on in that one, so I can't really go over all of it here. A lot of it also follows storylines of other paracosms, just switched to a DnD setting.

Forces: Reloaded

Honestly shoud be called Sonic: Reloaded at this point, as it's gone from a simple Sonic Forces rewrite to an entire paracosm spanning from 06 to Frontiers, and even further, as I even included an adapted version of the Metarex Sage from Sonic X, which is currently the final point in the timeline, though I'm sure that'll change soon enough.

A lot of the changes are about adding or swapping characters around, such as the plotline of Sonic 06. I've written this one up already, so I'll paste it here:

OKAY so Stella replaces Elise as the vessel for Iblis, her father purposefully using them to house the deity, all while Elise stealthily watched. So Elise KNOWS that Stella holds Iblis, and so does everything in her power to keep it contained.

When Stella gets kidnapped by Eggman, Elise wants to go after him to keep Iblis from being unleashed, but can’t leave her station as monarch, and so she sends one of her guards, not knowing that a. Sonic is already on it and b. Stella is having a blast making Eggman miserable and breaking out on their own.

So Elise's role is pulled back to be a lot more of an authority figure, she's the royalty while Stella (the oc) is the 'damseled' one. One major difference this brings is there's no romance between Elise and Sonic, transferring over instead to Stella and Dusk (the guard Elise sends to rescue Stella). I haven't played 06 in a long while, so all this may be subject to change. I just wanted Stella (my self-insert) to be introduced in Sonic 06, as it was my first Sonic game and was what got me into the series in the first place.

Skipping ahead to Forces, as it was the original main focus of the paracosm and as such is the most in-depth, the story starts out the same, with Sonic being very abruptly defeated by Infinite. Except, unlike the game, where he just summons illusions of Shadow, Metal Sonic, Chaos 0 and Zavok before kicking him around for a bit, he... oh i dunno...

CONJURES PERFECT CHAOS, BEFORE CREATING A WHIRLPOOL OF WATER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SQUARE TO DROWN HIM???

Obviously he doesn't kill Sonic, just incapacitates him, but, like, Sonic's got a whole thing about water, why not take advantage of that?

Tails takes just a bit too long trying to figure out Infinite's deal before he creates the whirlpool, and Tails tosses his datapad aside and rushes in to try and save Sonic, only for Infinite to take him down almost instantly.

The story proceeds as normal for a bit after that, with Eggman taking over, Tails going AWOL, and a resistance being formed by Knuckles. Rather than being stationed in Green Hill Zone, however, the headquarters is on Angel Island, meaning only the people Knuckles trusts enough to be near the Master Emerald is allowed in the headquarters. They have other rebel camps stationed all over South Island, but they're small, and they can quickly be overpowered by Eggman's forces.

Meanwhile, Starburst and Sun's parents get killed in the initial attack on Seaside Hill, and they get seperated in the chaos. Starburst finds her older brother buried under a pile of rubble, but Infinite gets to her before she can reach him, taunting her and letting her escape with her life if she leaves her brother to die and flees in terror.

Later, Starburst gets rescued by Amy, and decides to join the resistance.

Meanwhile, Tails has gone a bit off the deep end, and seeks out an old model of Metal Sonic that was destroyed in a battle years prior, and brings it back to his makeshift lab to rebuild and reprogram it. He affixes the fake Chaos Emerald he made back in SA2 to him, using it as a power source, and sets out to train him to be essentially Sonic's replacement. (This guy later becomes Shard.)

Sun actually survived being crushed by a building, and gets fished out by two girls, Flare the Bear and Echo the Fox. They end up getting along like a house on fire, and they agree to help Sun search for his missing sister.

The rebellion discovers that Sonic is alive, and after they launch a rescue mission, Starburst is the one that ends up finding him (This plays out pretty much exactly like the game).

They come back to the base below Angel Island, and take Sonic to the infirmary, only to discover that there's barely any room left. Amy decides that they need to liberate an actual hospital, and fast. Much to Sonic's disappontment, she sends Shadow and Starburst on the mission, as Sonic is still too injured. While Shadow is initially unimpressed and uninterested in working with Starburst, during the mission he warms up to her a little.

Meanwhile, the Metal Sonic that was repaired by Tails has been feeling uncomfortable, both with Tails' insistance at him being essentially a Sonic replacement, and Tails' obvious fear and discomfort towards him. He ends up running away, and though he still defends and protects the people he comes across, they aren't exactly appreciative. He still looks like Metal SOnic, and people are terrified of him, until he encounters one girl.

Aryl's a mechanic and an outcast, with a pet Buzz Bomber that she reprogrammed herself, and she offers to help repair his battle damage. He agrees, and they end up having a mutually beneficial friendship, where he protects her as she scavenges for parts and she repairs any damage he gets as he fights off other badniks.

A lot from this point is similar to the game, with some exceptions, like Shard being the one to fight the Metal Sonic illusion with Sonic on the bridge rather than the rookie, and the Null Space scene being a LOT longer and more impactful on the story, but im starting to get a headache and cant type for much longer so have some art instead

THERES ALSO A WHOLE THING WITH SEEDRIANS and tails cosmo and omega make up a team for a little while and omega goes I HAVE ONLY HAD TAILS AND COSMO FOR A DAY AND A HALF BUT IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO THEM I WOULD KILL EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM AND THEN SELF DESTRUCT.

and oh man i didnt even mention the time traveling twin children of infinite from an alternate future where he took over and crowned himself king thats THESE GUYS

home dimension: Plantea (Plantean)

other info:

Planteans age twice as slow as Solarians so despite Gaius being 42 compared to Hans's 25, Hans is still considered older than him

^ in Solarian terms, Gaius would be considered 21

chemistry student, first met dr Oetker while recruiting for the university machina magna project enrollment

despite being a science brain, gaius also enjoys writing poetry and combining it with his studies

like every plantean, he has plants growing all over his body - his plant is purple grapevines

professional overthinker, he'll spend hours analysing every social interaction

he suffers from chronic migraines which make his life very hard at times

assistant of the head of the machina magna project, at first it was weird to him to interact with corpses but he really enjoys his job

look:

* - planteans count years from the creation of rome - 753bce

** - average plantean lifespan is 200 years but they also take twice as much time to age as solarians

Progressives raising the bar... (16^12 thread 0x21/?)

Continuation of the 16^12 thread mainline...

Either way, as of the past few weeks (ever since I got flooded+scammed that is), I made and still make significant progress on the Angora worldscape. While the feudal / middle period religions & states are far from ready, I do have a satisfactory map of cultures to show off for said period (~4096 TE*):

Also am gathering much inspiration for agents/actors, intrigues & political history bites to portray. Especially thanks to a couple of dreams I had as of late, including one this morning where I got saved from a criminal subset the "Nitta" clan (those whom built a megamall and run some Little Bear realty) from Loona (from Helluva Boss). Weird dream with interesting insights / suggestions generated.

Either way, I still got much way to go to get to the contemporary period (~2024 equivalent as 4524 *Turtle-Era) but I am getting quite closer to actually writing some short narrative sequences for immersion in said DR (desired reality) around their late medieval period, which should help tremendously figure out the remaining history to derive / iterate for said centuries to come;

I know the approximate end-goal of said planet is a Stellaris ambient/modular/individualistic Autonomous Service Grid galactic realm (read that as a stellar "Rogue Servitor" society) with very muddy / blurry mixtures between biological lifeforms & synthetic ones. But rest assured I am still figuring it out as to make it as insightful, comfortable/prosperous and timeless / long-lasting as I can do within my chosen parameters.

As for the Blackhand / Black Bear narrative, I am pleased to tell you that I got the general gist of the plot ready to show... somewhat. It is a political slice-of-life + mutual empowerment cartoon* where we see Ava and Kate bond together and address systemic issues in their federal "block" (aka the Shoshone Union) though rational and esoteric means. Kinda has thriller, historical and pseudo-educational* genres going across, for a grounded yet optimistic take on world affairs & what can we have better and what we can improve ourselves.

Either way, thank you for sticking around my creative explorations and see you all soon for another 16^12 article... or whatever else you like on my blog, not here to judge what you are keen into. \\^*^//

(using hashtag-red-instead here because I am neurodivergent and my Blackhand narrative has some bias derived from such, also through Ava Booksword notably which also turns out to be a unaffiliated communal syndicalist...)

(also using hashtag-desired-reality because Angora & its wider 16^12 paracosm turn out to be a vast DR of mine soon to be published with a copyleft license when I reach those milestones just right)

by, Anonymous by Anonymous You've probably come upon a "Modern Girl in X" story from time to time, right? Jude certainly did. Too bad she'd end up regretting that little indulgence. She should’ve known things were off after the failed shifting attempt and then STOPPED there! But no... one quirky scientist waves money in her face; now she's signed her soul up turning into a freakjob with shitty memory. I mean she seriously messed up. All aboard Mount Hijack Jude's Entire Life all for... what—stopping Anakin's downfall? Helping Link fight Ganon? What is she—gonna hunt demons or run from Infected? Grievers? Try to fix the convoluted stories of superhero movie-verses? It all sounds insane... yet so does attempting to save Fred and Robb and Newt and Joe and Jerome and stopping all those hopeless poor boy losers who captured her heart yet had been so beaten down by the plot and writers that this is actually starting to sound appealing to Jude again... If only she knew what Dr. Engima's intentions with her truly were. She was the perfect hopeless love-sick-and-short-sighted subject for his devious plan. Will Jude realize that she's ruining the precious cosmos of her coveted worlds before it's too late?

♟. ┊    ooh i think I just found a way to connect Allure to MaaC hang on.

♟. ┊    so in Allure, Dr. Sam Nelson is hired to make a doll, Dahlia. Dahlia was commissioned by Mr. Thistle, the father of Mary Thistle. Mary was best friends with Real!Dahlia before she died (I never figured out how she died before shelving the paracosm).

♟. ┊    HOWEVER, I've recently been working on some new paras, one of them being Neil O'Brian. His backstory (at the time of writing this) is basically a rehashed version of Sha.d*w the H*dge.h*g's. But, essentially, his father was a scientist/doctor at Arcaynis who willingly subjected him to experiments. The only thing that made life tolerable was a girl who used to visit him often, the daughter of another one of the Arcaynis Staff.

┊┊🌃. 　The two bonded like siblings, though the girl had a lot more privileges than Neil and didn't always come in (whether she was just a regular girl or another experiment I have no idea, nor does it really matter tbh). One day, Neil manages to escape (or there's a wider containment breach, albeit smaller than the one Jordan/Cyber would cause). During this, the girl is killed and it's assumed it's Neil's fault (think gw*n st*cy being accused of killing her friend in sp*d*rv*rs*).

♟. ┊    The way these two would tie into each other is that Dahlia would be that girl, Neil's surrogate sister. And she would die as he tried to escape. Then, Mr. Thistle would ask Sam to make a replica of her to satiate Mary, who is obviously distraught over her best friend's death.

♟. ┊    idk if Neil would ever find out about Doll!Dahlia. She is kept pretty isolated & Vision 14 tends to keep "projects" like this under wraps. Plus idk what would become of Doll!Dahlia. Like her story just isn't that developed enough yet & idk if it ever will be.
