space girl and star boy

[ID: a digital painting of two original stylised Flatland characters, named Liz and Atlas, done in a lineless style.

Liz is a humanoid creature with a star-shaped head, an eye with no pupil, four gold hoop earrings and a tail with a star on the end. She is red, orange and yellow, but her left hand is blue. Atlas is an isosceles triangle with limbs, a tail with a V-shape on the end, and one eye with a star-shaped pupil. He has two chipped corners and scars on his side and eye. He is white with a yellow central gradient and gold limbs.

Liz and Atlas are floating while facing each other with their tails curled behind them. Liz is holding a small Earth, while Atlas holds a small crescent moon. Liz has a wide-eyed expression, but Atlas looks tired with a half-lidded eye.

The background shows a nebula, with clouds around the bottom of the image and stars at the top. The clouds behind both Liz and Atlas glow orange and white respectively, reflecting their light.

symbolism explanation under the cut (this ones a doozy) :

Liz is depicted as per usual as the Sun, with Earth in her hands - a placeholder for Ruth. Atlas is supposed to depict the North Star, with the crescent Moon in his hands being Chief. Liz is coloured in a rough manner (to give a ‘fire’ effect), while Atlas is coloured much more cleanly (to give a polished gold and matte painted porcelain appearance) - both reflecting their personalities.

The gold components of Atlas’s body are much stronger than that of his fragile porcelain body, it is damaged and chipped compared to his unscarred limbs. His limbs are identical to his father’s, who held the same position as Atlas in his prime and is someone who Atlas looks up to. These are strong and have been handed down to him, but his body isn’t as sturdy. The white porcelain is painted yellow and spreads outwards, as if trying to blend into the tougher gold parts of him - trying to be something it’s not.

The Earth and Sun complement each other in a way that is somewhat similar to how the North Star and the Moon do. However, the former are much closer to one another than the latter are. The Earth symbol is closer to Liz’s hands than the Moon symbol is to Atlas’s hands, representing Liz and Ruth’s close relationship compared to Atlas and Chief’s continually distancing relationship. Liz is unfazed and shows no emotion in her eye, she knows where the Earth is and trusts it won’t leave her ‘orbit’. Meanwhile, Atlas stares longingly, yet tiredly, at the crescent Moon slowly daring to leave his hands.

Liz, as a star, is a light source onto whom no shadows cast, and her light casts onto both ‘Ruth’ and ‘Chief’. The Earth also blocks some of her light from the Moon, casting a small but intense shadow on it. However, Liz’s light doesn’t reach Atlas and it’s instead reflected off the Moon and back onto him - despite being a star who should also produce his own light. He no longer gets his light, i.e. comfort, from Liz anymore - but instead a skewed and watered down version of it from Chief, who is the one closest in proximity to him anymore.

pls tell me that getting recommended GGBG on yt around two months ago was a universal experience

[ID: a digital drawing of an original stylised Flatland character named Ruth done on an off-white background.

Ruth is a humanoid creature who has an eye for a head with a rounded point on top, a short tail, a dent in her right side and brownish-grey skin with light grey spots.

She is dressed and posed in reference to the angel character from the “GGBG” music video. She is wearing a long sleeved blue dress and heels, and has a set of small pale blue wings and a halo. She is leaning back to the left while pulling a tail with a star on the end. Both of her feet are turned inwards and she is looking to the right with an angry expression.

The False Shepard, Here To Lead Our Lambs Astray

[ID: a digital drawing of an original, stylised Flatland character named Elizabeth.

Elizabeth is a vaguely humanoid character. She is depicted here with a seven-point star head with an eye in the centre, a clawed right hand and a left arm that is cut in half at the elbow - leading onto a white geometric hand. She has a broad chest that narrows into a thin torso. Her legs are cut out of frame - her body is only shown from the waist up.

She is stood in the centre with her arms held perpendicular to her body and the palms of her hands facing upwards. Over her right hand hovers a white crescent moon with a black earth shadow. Over her left hand hovers a black four-point star. She is smiling and staring slightly upwards. Her body is made up of black lines that get denser at the edges of her head, the bottom of her body and on her forearm.

The background is a stained glass window. There is a yellow and orange sun behind Elizabeth’s head with grey and pale blue glass around it, that fades to purple further down. Faint rays of light also shine out from the sun and into the corners of the canvas.

putting the background story and symbolism about this piece under the cut bc i feel like it really deserves an in-depth explanation

i can’t believe i’ve never properly discussed it before, but Liz’s main goal is to stop Chief turning out like his father.

after she tries and fails to kill their Chief Circle and instead kills his guard in Atlas’s defence (and i’ve decided that this is the incident where she loses her arm), she can’t risk taking any more blows like that. so instead of resorting to physical violence, she instead tries her hand at ‘positive manipulation’ to tear her problem from the root up.

she makes sure Chief has enough emotional ties to the lower classes (Atlas and Vance), irregulars (Ruth and Elijah) and lines (Liz, Ruth, Stella and Irene) for him to reconsider everything he’s been told about them. this is all to make sure that when Chief Sr. kicks the bucket they have a somewhat more progressive next-of-kin lined up to take his place. this works for her as Liz first meets Chief when he’s only about 15, so he’s still pretty young and an impressionable teenager.

but Chief Sr is still alive so boo. he has a strong grip on everything and has Chief Jr pinned under his thumb out of fear. while he doesn’t know about Stella, he does know that this ‘false shepard’ is up to something that involves his son. again, he still doesn’t know exactly who Liz is but he’s working on figuring it out.

so this image of Liz - a large, dark, looming, unnerving figure - is made to fit the circles’ depiction of her. how the next Chief Circle and his daughter are locked in her clawed grasp, and she smiles almost mockingly about it. her prosthetic is replaced by a white geometric hand and it sticks out like a sore thumb, as though it makes her ‘unhuman’ - but easily identifiable. her body is made up of a mass of lines, joined together in their force (danger !! women !!). the glass is only coloured around her head (the sun is the same as her colour palette when she’s not greyscale) and at her ‘feet’ (it’s more like the bottom of her torso but you know what i mean) which is mostly shaped with triangles - as if she’s breaking their world of grey out over the blood of the circles (again, i use purple as circle symbolism). the sun is rising in the sky, as the dawn of a new day and a new era begins.

essentially, she’s a revolutionary of the lower class, and a tyrant to the upper classes.

thought her design from the glass window piece would make for a good wanted poster design too

[ID: a digital drawing of an original, stylised Flatland character named Liz.

Liz is depicted as a serpent-like creature who has a star-shaped head with one eye, a clawed right hand and a left arm that is cut off at the elbow and leads onto a geometric forearm. She is made out of various black lines that get denser further down her body, on her arm, and on the ends of her head spikes.

Her body is curved over to the left. In her right hand, her claws are pinching a small circle with a crescent moon pattern. Her left arm is held out beside her, with the palm facing down. She is looking at the circle in her claws with a smug grin. There are other circles around her head, all of them are plain except for the one under her head, which has a smaller circle in its centre.

There is a square, broken up box around her. Outside the box, the background is styled like old and worn brown paper. The background inside the box is a darker shade of brown. Above the box there is text that reads “Wanted Dead”, while below the box the text reads “Reward ¢15,000”. All of the text is capital and done in black, geometric, bold print

orange cat and black cat dynamic

[ID: a digital uncoloured doodle of two original, stylised Flatland characters named Liz and Ruth done in a cutesy art style.

Liz is a humanoid creature with a seven point star-shaped head, one eye, a tail with a star on the end and an amputated left forearm.

Ruth is another, smaller, humanoid creature who has an eye for a head with a blunt point on top, a drooping eyelid and four bottom lashes, a dent in her side and spots all over her body.

Liz is on the left and posed stood on her heels. She is looking over to her right at Ruth. The rightmost spike on her head is twitching up and down, akin to a cat’s ear flicking, and there is a little question mark beside her. Ruth is on the right, she is smiling up at Liz and laughing. Her hands are held by her sides and her knees are bent inwards. There is a thought bubble beside her that says “cute…”.

The background is white.

always forget that they’re siblings and love to beat the shit out of one another

[ID: a very rough and uncoloured doodle of two original, stylised Flatland characters named Liz and Atlas on a white background.

Liz is a humanoid character with a long tail, a star shaped head and one eye. Atlas is an isosceles triangle with stick limbs, one eye, a tail, chips on his corners and scars.

Atlas is looking directly at the viewer with an annoyed expression and is holding Liz in his comically oversized fist. Liz looks stretched, strained and shocked.

“i <3 my gf” but make it a literal show of affection

[ID: a digital drawing of two, original Flatland characters named Liz and Ruth.

Liz is depicted as a snake-like creature with a light grey body that fades to dark grey at each end. She also has a star on the end of her tail, three cilia that resemble legs and a dent on her left side where one of her front cilium would be, and a seven point star-shaped head with a fanged mouth.

Ruth is a similar, slightly smaller snake-like creature. She has a dark grey body with light grey spots and patches, a V-shaped dent in the middle of her body and four cilia.

Liz on the left and Ruth on the right. Their ‘heads’ are pressed together, with Ruths’s head pushing Liz’s head spikes back. Their bodies are curved into an S-shape and they are touching one another to create a heart. They are both smiling and Ruth’s front cilia are spread away from her body in an excited expression. There is a small black heart between them.

The entire image has a light pink hue set over it and the background is a peachy pink colour.

i think lines should be able to have colourful exoskeletons too instead of just being like. still grey or black with only their clothes or eye having colours

[Plain text ID: A drawing of Liz, an original stylized Flatland character on a very dark brown background.

Liz is depicted as a thin, humanoid character with a pale yellow outline and a yellow body that fades into orange on her arms, legs and head. She has a seven-point star-shaped head with one closed smiling eye in the middle and two hoops earrings at either side. She also has a long and thin tail that ends in an orange five-point star.

She is waving out one hand and the other is resting on her knee. Her body is slightly bent over.

would you still love me if we were both worms,,

[Plain text ID : A monochrome digital drawing of two original Flatland characters, Ruth (left) and Liz (right).

They are both grey and worm-like in appearance; Ruth has dot-like markings and has a 2D blanket covering most of her edges, while Liz has two star shapes at either end of her body. These stars are a darker grey than the rest of her body. They both have cilia around their blunts ends (which are their faces), but Liz has extra cilia behind her head and near her tail.

Liz is in a backwards S-shaped pose looking down at Ruth, who is looking up at her. Ruth's tail curls around towards her head. Ruth also has a V-shaped ‘dent’ in her middle, which slightly disrupts the curve of her body. There is a small black heart between both of them. The background is white.

i <3 my gf

[Plain text ID: four monochrome digital drawings of two original Flatland characters, Liz and Ruth, on grey backgrounds.

Liz is the longer, solid black line with stars on either end of her body and three arm-like cilia near her head and the back end of her body. She is missing one cilium and instead has a shallow indent in her side where it would be. Ruth is the shorter line with grey patches on her body and a sharp v-shaped ‘dent’ in her middle. She also has four cilia protruding from her sides in the same places as Liz. Their heads are denoted as the blunt ends with thin white lines making up a mouth.

In the first photo, Liz is bent over Ruth (who is situated right below her) as to avoid touching Ruth’s dent while holding a 2D-style umbrella in her mouth. It is raining all around them except for areas in the umbrella’s path. There is a square thought bubble beside Ruth with text that says “what a nice friend!”. There is a triangular thought bubble next to Liz with text that says “i <3 my gf”. Both are smiling.

In the second photo, Liz’s body is curled loosely around Ruth’s but they are not touching. Liz is smiling while Ruth has a soft frown. There is a grey line to their left, right and behind them that all connect at the ends to form an open rectangle-like structure that is meant to represent a bed. There is a square thought bubble beside Ruth with text that says “do friends usually cuddle?”. There is a triangular thought bubble next to Liz with text that says “i <3 my gf”.

In the third photo, Liz and Ruth are situated horizontally side-by-side with Liz to the top and Ruth near the bottom of the photo. They are both touching each other’s arm-like structure closest to their heads. Liz is smiling while Ruth is grinning nervously. There is a square thought bubble beside Ruth with text that says “omp i wonder if she feels the same way,,”. There is a triangular thought bubble next to Liz with text that says “i <3 my gf”.

In the fourth photo, Ruth is facing Liz - who is curled into a S-shape. Liz is presenting some grey flowers in her mouth to Ruth. Ruth has a sheepish smile and a square thought bubble beside her with text that says “omp i think she likes me back”. There is a triangular thought bubble next to Liz with text that says “i <3 my gf”.

shapes and colours. glow worms the lot of them

[ID: three digital drawings of nine original Flatland characters - Liz, Ruth, Chief Jr, Atlas, Stella, Irene, Vance, Elijah and Jasper - all on black backgrounds.

The first image shows Liz and Ruth, two line creatures. Liz is yellow with orange stars at either end of her body and three cilia. Ruth is green with a dent in the middle of her body, white patches and four cilia. Liz is positioned in a S-shape on the left. She is looking down at Ruth, who is in a vague sideways W-shape on the right. Both are smiling at each other.

The second photo shows Chief Jr, Atlas and Stella. Chief is a circle with a yellow and purple-blue crescent moon pattern and a white crown made from stars. Atlas is a pale yellow isosceles triangle with dents in two of his corners and three scars on his sides. Stella is a violet line creature with a purple four point star-shaped head and heart-shaped tail, four cilia and wearing a simple white crown. Chief and Atlas are on the left and facing Stella, who is facing back and curved into a S-shape. They are all smiling at each other.

The third photo shows Irene, Vance, Jasper and Elijah. Irene is a orange line creature with four cilia, a red double sickle-shaped head and a three-pointed tail. Vance is a golden isosceles triangle with a crack in one of his corners and the other is blunt. Jasper is a red wide-based isosceles triangle with two small black dots on one corner. Elijah is a mustard yellow irregular six-pointed star. Irene is at the top, wrapped around Jasper and Elijah. Elijah is smiling at her and she smiles back, while Jasper is looking at both of them and frowning. Vance is below them, looking upwards. He has a soft smile with a wrinkle forming around the corner of his mouth.

infodump about the new recruits (Jasper, Elijah and Vance) under the cut because i cannot control myself rn

-Vance Huntsworth, as stated above, is the golden-yellow isosceles. Obviously the dad of Liz, Atlas, Jasper and Elijah - and Irene’s husband. His blunt corner was caused by constantly rubbing it off the cramped counter at his underground bar over the years, while his cracked corner was from losing a fight when he was younger and much rowdier. He’s much older now and his age has set in, showing in all of his blunt corners which are no longer sharp like any of his sons’. He’s much calmer now compared to how he was in his youth. He can still be threatening when he needs to be, but that’s rare nowadays.

-Jasper Huntsworth is the red wide-based isosceles - but this fact is unknown to him. Jasper is 12 and not very happy about not getting a visit from the Board to determine if he’s actually equilateral or just an isosceles. He wants to go and experience an apprenticeship in a real shop, not sit and wash the dishes or sweep the floor of his father’s bar every night. He makes this very clear to his parents, but they won’t hear any of it. Vance’s younger brother was equilateral and it broke his heart to see him get taken away from his family, so he refuses to let the same happen to his own son if he turns out to be equilateral as well.

-Elijah Huntsworth is the irregular mustard yellow six-point star and proof that star-trait genetics seem to run extremely strong in the Huntsworth family. Irene is constantly doting over him at home, which is the same building he’s been in for the past 8 years of his life. Similarly with Jasper, Irene and Vance know what will happen if the Board sees Elijah, so they keep them both hidden. While Jasper is at least allowed to go out of the house to the bar and to play with a select few neighbours in their estate, Elijah isn’t allowed to leave the house at all. He spends all of his time with his mother, and simply sleeps when she’s not around. In short, he’s a momma’s boy.

[Plain text ID: a short repeating animation of two original Flatland characters, Liz and Chief Jr., on a white background.

Liz is a black line creature with stars shapes on either end of her body. Chief is a grey circle with a black crown on his edge and a black line denoting his mouth.

Liz comes towards and spins around Chief before leaving the scene via the far right. Chief spins with Liz as she passes by. As Liz spins him around, his mouth changes from a neutral expression to one of annoyance by bending into a frown and then opening as if shouting angrily.

now kith

[ID: a rough, choppy 2D animation on a grey background of two original Flatland characters, named Liz and Ruth.

Liz is a black line with a seven point star on one end of her body, which is her head, and a five point star on the other end, which is her tail. She has two cilia near her tail and one near her head. There is a small indent on one side of her body, opposite the front cilium.

Ruth is also a black line with a V-shaped dent in the middle of her body, two cilia near her head and tail respectively, and light grey patches.

They both move like snakes. Liz enters and goes right, turns as if she will go north, but then sharply turns again and heads south. She meets Ruth, who emerges from the bottom. They move closer to one another until their front points touch, a little black heart appears then disappears as this happens. Liz then backs up and turns right to leave. Ruth follows and stops in front her, as if wanting to touch front points with her again. This causes Liz to quickly halt and back up, before playfully dodging past Ruth and out of frame. Ruth watches Liz leave and then quickly follows in her path. The screen is left empty for a second before the animation repeats itself.
