#dragonmatsu au

[tesnuzzik]

Hellow! I subscribed to you a long time ago. Back in the days when you published the Dragomatsu comic. I still adore this AU of yours. As far as I understand, you are no longer planning to work on this project. Could you briefly tell us what events were going to happen next in this comic?

Hi! Thank you for still following me even though I didn't update anymore <3 It's true, I'm not going to continue working on the comic. I'm currently working on an original comic (close to finishing the first page), doing two at the same time would be impossible;; (and the Dragonmatsu comic would have been much to big to ever finish anyway). I don't mind telling what I was planning with it though! (It's been a while and I didn't write everything down, but I'll do my best to try and remember). I'll try to keep it as short as possible;; xD --- From the final page I posted: Jyushimatsu would get taken away by the knights at the announcement, and Osomatsu rushes to try and bail him out (this is when he'd meet (the old version of) my oc Fenric for the first time). Jyushimatsu ends up getting away with a warning, mostly because the king wants to keep peace with the dragons. After this chapter, I had a whole story planned out where Jyushimatsu would get very ill, but no doctor would be willing to help except Dekapan (who's not fully recognized as a doctor with his weird magic potions). It turns out Jyushimatsu was poisoned by an angry villager, making the Matsus more aware that some humans *really* don't want them there (Oso starts turning really protective because of this as well). At some point, the king gets sick and passes away, and the prince takes over. He hates dragons due to trauma (if you look at the panel where he's upset in chapter 3, you can see that he misses a finger). Vitharr (the big red haired oc dude) decides to use that to his advantage and makes a plan where he will frame the Matsus for setting off a fire during the coronation festivities, turning most of the village against them and having the new king abolish the laws protecting (half)dragons. Vitharr ends up getting a position among the knights (And general Muno leaves, as she doesn't agree with what is happening), but he leaves his old crew behind who decide to try and capture the Matsus before he could (and get the reward). They end up causing the Matsu's house to burn down, but the Matsus escape and decide to flee the village.

This would be the end of the "first part" of the story, after this the Matsus would wander a dangerous forest while being hunted down by Vitharr (who was forced to team up with Fenric, a mage with an obsession with dragon magic). They would discover much more about their powers, where they came from, etc. Osomatsu grew to distrust humans, Karamatsu would have a bunch of old trauma to work through, Choromatsu and Todomatsu would have a lot of issues adjusting to the new situation (in their own ways), and Ichimatsu and Jyushimatsu's powers would end up clashing and causing issues in their relationship. I didn't write most of the latter stuff down so I don't remember all of it ;w; I think I had plans for the Matsus to all meet a full dragon of their own element at some point? Like the test comic I made with Karamatsu and the dragon in the big whirlpool... If you want to know about more specific stuff, just let me know! It's fun to go back to an old project like that sometimes, haha!

(edit!) Here are two unfinished pages for chapter 3

Doodled a sleepy dragon Oso from @tesnuzzik‘s amazing dragonmatsu’s au!

H-He’s just so cute, I couldn’t help myself...! ❤️

[suudonym]

warning: there’s no point to what I’m about to say here, it’s going to be long and it’s going to be 100% incoherent tired whining so you’ll really be much better off if you just forget it and go back to what you were doing

my writing background is heavily founded in roleplay, specifically one single roleplay group that I participated in right up until just before I started foraying into fanfiction. players came and went and sometimes we switched out characters but it was always the same world, the same timeline, for about six years. it was less like roleplaying and more like collaborative storywriting really, and generally speaking we all really valued coming up with new plots to play and creative ways to grow our characters. there wasn’t a big focus on uniqueness or anything but because it was always same world and same timeline you sort of had to keep thinking up new and different things or it would be kind of weird, like if your character gets stranded in the forest once you kind of can’t do that again with them because they’d learn from the experience, plus the world itself was responsive so like there were only so many times the bad guys could just walk into places pretending to be civilians and then carry out an attack before security tightened up and started putting in countermeasures. generally speaking once a plot was done you pretty much could not feasibly do it again the same way just by virtue of how the game ran

ANYWAY what I’m trying to get at is, while I can’t speak for everyone in the group, it became very important to me personally to come up with new and interesting stuff to do with my plots and characters. I wanted to do stuff that people hadn’t really done before and explore angles that people hadn’t really explored before and my usual partners were of similar thinking. and then there were people, especially one person in particular, who were much less invested in that challenge and who cherrypicked things that other people came up with and pretty much just ripped them off and with some things you had the right to step in and say “I’m sorry but because of X and Y in-character factors it doesn’t make sense for this to go this way” but most of the time you’d just have to grit your teeth and accept that this person was totally ripping off your hard-thought-up plot

I don’t know if that’s why I started feeling protective of my ideas or if it bothered me so much because I was already naturally protective of my ideas - bit of a chicken and egg dilemma there - but either way the way I am now is the way I am now: I’m EXTREMELY invested in coming up with ideas that offer fresh and original perspectives. tropes are tropes and drawing inspiration from other sources is kind of unavoidable but if I can’t put a uniquely suu twist on something then I won’t even entertain the thought of actually producing it

and here’s where it gets tricky. if I have an idea... and somebody else has the same or a very similar idea..... I’m very likely to start thinking about giving up on mine. I really hate feeling like I’ve been ripped off, so I don’t ever want to give someone the impression that I’ve ripped them off, so if someone happens to go public with something similar to a thing I still have in some stage of production, I’m very very likely to give up on the thing completely. that very nearly happened with chf, I was smack in the middle of it when someone posted a “karamatsu goes missing after being kidnapped by a stalker” story and I was like are you fucking kidding me but it turned out to be porn so I convinced myself to keep going, and right now I’m currently struggling to figure out whether or not the holy knight/parallel world fic is something I should actually continue to pursue now that dragonmatsus and fullbokko AUs are gaining popularity. I will absolutely 100% throw shit completely out the window if I feel like someone else is filling a similar niche even if I logically know that I would approach it differently purely by nature of having a different brain and different thoughts, it’s not even voluntarily it’s like a switch just gets flipped and something abruptly dumps all my motivation down the drain while screaming “SOMEONE’S ALREADY DOING THIS, SOMEONE ELSE GOT THERE FIRST, IF YOU DO IT NOW YOU’LL BE COPYING THEM SO GIVE UP! GIVE UP!!!”

that’s the main thing I wanted to whine about here because it’s kind of stupid and I know it but it keeps happening anyway, but as long as we’re here lemme just throw in a bonus: I said myself just a little while ago “drawing inspiration from other sources is kind of unavoidable,” I know that very well and I also know that it’s unavoidable that people will occasionally have the same ideas completely separately from one another but please don’t.... don’t copy anything from me? I know I post quite a few ideas on here and it’s not like they’re terribly original but please don’t like knowingly and purposefully do the same or extremely similar stuff? (like when it comes to details I mean, general tropes aren’t something I’d ever try to stake any kind of claim on) I won’t ever confront anyone or call out anyone or anything, I’ll just feel really bad and probably give up on my own stuff. that feels like kind of a pretentious thing to say and is in all likelihood the furthest concern but just. puttin it out there. just in case I guess

actually come to think of it why am I saying please anything at the end of a post that specifically started with “don’t bother reading this,” what was the point of this post? we just don’t know

well as long as we’re here how about a tata18 status update: I’m at.... not quite 1500 words. progress is laughable. shit sucks. still tryin my best though. should probably try turning on leechblock for once but that hasn’t been working well lately. probably gonna eat a piece of chocolate.

I’m planning out my own dragonmatsu AU, and in Karamatsu’s notes I literally wrote this “Is literally the only one who can 'cool' Osomatsu down when he gets 'fired' up” and honestly I don’t even need to do anything else with this AU, this is the peak

The movie gave me some inspiration for a doodle comic!  (Totty is now a sky dragon rather than just air)

The new version of Dragonmatsu is starting to become very different from the old one, the movie is also going to influence it a lot I think...

Although Totty can use some sky/weather magic by himself, when he gets scared 'the sky will protect him'  I'm currently experimenting with the elements being some sort of entities rather than just...things.
