okay hi

did i promise to make an art... lore dump post literally last month? yes. did i not do it for nearly a month? also yes. and im Very Sorry.

anyway! onto the ranting

So starting off with the obvious, Nanehi's color scheme is based off of the Shawnee tribe's flag!

Obviously more desaturated, but the blue sweater and two yellow stars were meant to show that he's native.

Alright, going in page order I'm just gonna throw around some easter eggs or fun facts or commentary...whatever....

Because this is the only good image I can find of it, Nane wears his parents' wedding bands on a necklace. Because his parents are divorced </3

On page 2, Nane has a poster up on his wall which is my current sketchbook cover in my art class. I believe it's somewhere on my art blog

Nane has a ziptie on his backpack! It doesn't mean anything.

Page 6: The white text that says "what?" is actually a reference to the first debut of Nane - an askblog!

(technically his first word was "huh" but i changed it to what for plot's sake)

Continuing with the black spaces on page 6, the panicked eye doesn't really mean anything. However, the twisted light switch was supposed to represent the noose that shows up at the end of the comic.

For page 7, there's obviously the audience design to talk about, but the things I actually wanna focus on are:

The doodle on the top left, which is Nanehi saying that he thinks he has tinnitus [which he then goes on to immediately deny in the next page]

And the doodle on the bottom right. His fursona is a bunny and if I could, I would've tried to fit more bunny imagery into the comic. But alas :pensive:

Page 13: All the different colored text were the responses I got from a select few people. I showed them the previous panels of the page and asked them what they wanted [there is one distinct person I didn't ask but I will get to them later].

I also want you to keep the... 3rd shade of green in mind [the "i want to see where this goes"]

For this panel on page 15, I wanted it to be known that Nanehi isn't a real person, and they know it. Everyone else's face is squared, even the simply doodled character in the background and the barely visible person in the foreground. Everyone except Nane.

Page 16: Man that's just mold on his shower curtain.

Page 17: There's actually a lot I want to talk about with page 17. Firstly, the design of The Audience. It changed, clearly. Before it was that weird circle thing, but now it's more humanoid - to the point of having hair similar to Nanehi's. The reason being, it's not entirely The Audience anymore. It's The Creator too. Nanehi was based off my fear of being watched and constantly having an audience. The little amount of comfort that the figure gives was... sorta supposed to be an apology to the character- as cheesy as that sounds.

(Also the fact that their text originally said "didn't they already answer that" but was crossed out to say 'we'. The Creator disguising themself as The Audience. And truly, what is to separate them?)

Another thing I want to point out is the dark grey panel. It's the same shade of grey I used for the askblog, and he's smiling in that panel, because during the askblog he was much happier around the audience- or the concept of them, rather.

And then of course, the dark blue text that reads "I know how this ends." That actually wasn't a response I took from someone, but rather a piece of... I guess dialogue, that I felt like someone would say. That specific someone being my friend Classi, who was the only person besides me that knew how Watcher ended. Purely because she had a very similar character and we thought that they'd be buddies.

On page 18, we have 3 entire panels in a different style. That being the style of the askblog.

(some examples)(the last image is where the avatar came from, haha)

On page 19 we have this panel, which you can probably assume what it is. It, I suppose, could both be seen as Nane standing, back to the audience, or as Nane hanging without the noose. You choose.

And of course, the last page. For some reason this fucks me up. Because this is The Creator talking to Nanehi. The Creator knows that Nane has no say in how their story ends, but they're given the illusion of control, because that's all they've been looking for. They wanted control over something, so the only way to prove such control was to show The Audience that they could end the story whenever they wanted. He doesn't know that he was talking to The Creator, he just assumed it was still The Audience. He doesn't know that he didn't really have a say.

This was what he wanted. That's how he's ending the story

[gabi-theladylover]

made my first "comic".

Translation under the cut because I'm too tired to redo the text in English.

Kaneda: Hey, hey Himuro come and see!

Himuro: oh, wut happen-WHAT THE FUCK.

Lihito: We were gonna go to the cinema but, god fucking damn it, we got stuck in these poses.

Himuro: I'm not even gonna question it...

Kaneda: We think (basically just me) that it's because we're missing Leonardo

Okubo: So, we wanted to ask you if you wanna be Leonardo, 'cause you're alread-

Himuro: NO

Okubo: Y tho?

Himuro: Because it's for idiots.

The other three: No shit. Also, your motif is wrong, sucker.

Big sigh

Himuro: Wouldn't it be easier to call, I dunno, Koga or Falcon? They both like Turtles and Ninjas.

Lihito: First of all, talk less, God dammit; Second of all, we invited Kuroki and he's currently waitinf for us outside the cinema.

Change of places: TO KUROKI!

Kuroki: Where the balls are those youngsters...

Falcon: MASTER OMG LOOK IT'S THE REAL MASTER SPLINTER OMG OMG I'M HIS BIGGEST FAN OMG!!!!

Kuroki:... and what the fuck is Albert doing, God dammit, how embarrassing... I regret taking him as my student.

BACK TO THE IDIOTS!

Himuro: So... you're telling me you invited Kuroki "The Devil Lance" Gensai to see TMNT: Mutant Chaos with you? And he accepted? And he's currently waiting for you, but you are all currently frozen in these poses because you're missing Leonardo?

The other three: YES

Himuro: I'M IN

The 4 idiots get to the cinema

Lihito: Hai Kuroki!!!!! We made it!!!! :3

Kuroki: about time.

Lihito: sory :(

Kuroki: Ya know you can take those costumes off? You're adults now.

Himuro: I hate everyone of you. EVERYONE. Die fucking southerners.

Lihito: it happens.

Big ass explosion

The five of them: whatafak.

Kuroki: thank god Albert died.

Sooooooo, what do you think of TGAA1? How are ya feeling--?

Oh I absolutely loved it. The other Ace Attorney games I haven't actually gone into blind (and I'm not making an active effort to avoid spoilers for Investigations, Dual Destinies, or Spirit of Justice, but I do steer towards avoiding anything too major or anything I can figure out the context of easily) but I went into TGAA basically only knowing character names (and, vaguely, personalities) and I've been actively trying to avoid spoilers. It is much more fun going into Ace Attorney games completely blind (especially when that game includes Herlock Sholmes. It's a lot more fun not knowing what to expect from him).

It's weird though, the entire time I've been playing it I've kinda forgotten it's an Ace Attorney game, even though court sequences are basically identical to every other Ace Attorney game. I'm pretty sure it's because of the setting (Victorian England with some steampunk elements and Meiji era Japan), but it feels so different from every other Ace Attorney game. That Victorian England with steampunk elements setting is part of the reason I love it so much though, I absolutely love the aesthetic of steampunk Victorian England.

I've always kinda understood that TGAA has its own kinda sub-fandom (and I guess you could argue that for the Investigations duology and the Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice trilogies too, it's just not as obvious to me as TGAA's sub-fandom is) and I can absolutely understand why. It feels so different from the other games.

I was also correct all the way through about my mentality basically amounting to "came for Sholmes, staying for Sholmes" lmao. He is truly the character ever and I absolutely love him. You never know what to expect with him, it's always "alright so what's he doing now" when you see him in the background and it's literally never the thing you expect. Perfect for a Sherlock Holmes parody/expy honestly.

Also I would sell my soul for a Herlock Sholmes game where you play as Sholmes and just do investigations. I think it'd be really fun

EDIT: I never mentioned how I'm feeling, I'm feeling great, if a little like how many hours I've put into the game is unhealthy lol. It's keeping my mind occupied though so that's a good thing at least.

Juno is important. according to AJHQ on their insta, Juno is NOT an alpha but an ancient hero, which is interesting, because if Juno isn't an alpha, then canonically the arctic wolves has no alpha. for my AU, i've been considering reviving Juno, not because of author's bias, but because narratively, Juno is THE protector of Balloosh, the newest land added to the game. and I don't want to create an Arctic wolf alpha bc

A: shamans can't create anymore shamans after the phantoms (which i'm changing a bit)

B: that's boring

C: the implications of bringing someone from the past back to the present is somewhat horrifying

but yeah, Juno is OLDER than the shamans, and in my au I said "nuh-uh" because I couldn't think of a way of Juno being older that fits the timeline. correction, I just didn't like it.

in the game, they have two major connections to presumably (100%) dead alphas; Star and Fang, the direwolf and sabertooth alphas respectively. Fang is unimportant, and Star is mildly more important than Fang.

Now, while Balloosh really shines in the Juno Era to the Hexagram Era, it existed as far back as the Culture Era, if we're talking about it being established. the land Balloosh was established on most likely existed in the early history eras.

but anyway, to make sense of Peck, Greely, Gilbert, Liza, Graham, and Cosmo being the original six shamans, Star and Fang will no longer be shamans. they'll be important figures, like pack leaders (did sabertooths and direwolves form packs??), but not shamans. Juno doesn't exist here.

Star and Fang are older than the six in terms of age, just to establish that. Juno is younger in age. So how does Juno come to exist?

they're a gift from Mira. prior to this, Star and Fang joined their packs together and wandered just like that, a massive culmination of canine and feline. this most likely takes place in the Dominion Era, so collaboration between different species was unheard of. Star, Fang, and their pack was shunned, pushed to the far marshlands, but Mira had a sort of respect for it. so she gifted them Juno in the form of a feather.

this is also why Juno is nonbinary. they weren't created with a gender. (also they didn't feel entirely comfortable with gendered pronouns later in life)

these marshlands would also later become Balloosh, founded by Star, Fang, and Juno.

but anyway, Star carries around the feather with a piece of twine, treating it as the second coming of God, whilst Fang leads the pack with one of the leaders fixated on a feather. Fang found it redundant, and he always scolded Star for it, but Star herself did not care about what he had to say. Mira respected them. Respected them! if it wasn't obvious, this is from Star's point of view. to Fang, he acknowledged the feather as a gift, but felt that Mira's attention was fleeting. ultimately, in some way, shape, or form, he wasn't entirely wrong.

one day, during the Settlement Era, the feather glowed as bright as the sun, and soon it grew legs, and fur, and ears, and oh god it's a pup now. this pup was baby Juno, the arctic wolf born from a feather. Star and Fang became parents, almost. they were both a bit feral for Juno more tame demeanor, but they loved Star and Fang nonetheless.

sisterscell is now ready and open! :)

Or, rather, it's open for interested parties to join and be able to read my WN fanfic whenever AO3 goes down for a few moments. I'm not sure that I'll alter the Members Only control any time soon and I am not inclined towards going back and adding warnings to the stuff I forgot to warn for (oops), but it's there after a few days' feverish work and one need only click the join button if one is ever so inclined.

Now I am going to vanish from the internet because we are almost at page 90 of the teenagers AU and our favourite tragic ladies haven't even kissed yet so we absolutely must work to allow them that much!

I've cooked long enough. It's time to share some TADC ideas I've had for Wally to keep myself sane.

Wallys 'character' is of a puppet. It looks and feels like felt even though he's technically a digital program within the digital circus. He's short, standing at 3ft tall which also makes him incredibly light. He's prefect for being picked up and thrown.

Wally keeps to himself. Preferring quiet. Will join on the adventures sometimes if he's feeling it. However he isn't one for extremely chaotic ones that involve 'death' and 'killing'. They aren't for him personally.

He gives of vibes of being a human trapped with the circus, yet at times it feels like he isn't with how ominous he can be. It's almost as if he's an AI himself or an NPC who knows more than he should. He claims he's a human though like everyone else. They're certain he is. Just... How long has he been here again?

On this topic. He's seen a lot of visitors come and go. Because he's barely around at times, it's easy to forget he's there and still 'alive' within the circus. He thinks it's amusing when people are surprised to see him still around.

His room is rather simple. Two arch shaped windows on the seemingly overlooking a town. The imagery of the town seems to glitch and look pixelated sometimes. There's a big red chair in the middle with a little table with a phone on it. The phone rings sometimes. Answering it and you hear either static, glitching or faint muffled whispers. and in the corner there is a that doesn't look rested in at all. Throughout it there's plenty of art supplies scattered or various mediums. But painting seems to dominate everything followed by crayon drawings.

It seems the digital circus can't handle his paintings sometimes when he goes into extreme detail. Causing them to glitch out in someway. Sometimes into nonexistence. Other times into the floor or wall. It's hard to tell in this place. In worst case scenarios it seems the code glitches to the point the inanimate object comes alive... Or maybe that's Caines doing?

He doesn't believe that there is a way out. That once you're here that is you until you eventually abstract! Or the AI get bored of you and decide it's time to 'delete' your avatar.

It Will Be Ok...

Day 1

I guess I never talk about myself, not genuinely. I always tell people what I like, all my favorite shows and books. And I love asking questions, I like learning about other people. I love forests and sunsets and crackling fires. I love the smell of burnt wood, the feel of dirt and grass digging between my toes, wind messing my hair like playful toddler.

That's what I tell people, and it's all true but only talking about the happy things is all false as well. I don't really know the line between being optimistic and living a lie...

Ah well.

School's about to start, I need to text my friend. I can feel a thick cloud weighing in the back of my head in that compartment where his emotions are - or my connection to his emotions. My secret is I can't stop feeling peoples' emotions if I ever "mentally link" with them.

I don't usually talk about that, it's secret because it kind've scares people and then I can't stop feeling their discomfort. So you see it's very selfish when I try to help others. I need to to stay happy.

I message him and we talk for a while. He tells me a close friend almost died last night. I don't tell him I already felt that, and the sheet of emotions made my head hurt. Instead I listen. I tell him he has every right to break down, he deserves to take a break and let himself feel it and process. He doesn't have to always be ok. It's ok to be hurt and to lean on someone else.

I tell him it will be ok.

We can all agree that exams are the worst and my body refuses to do any studying. But during the wait time before/after my exam starts I've been doing stuff so the burnout doesn't mentally destroy me. Sooooooo here's what I've been doing

I was working on this bee-girl drawing so I can replace my icon. I was on the eyes more than anything and got a little frustrated at the hair. So I scrapped it and started with this sweetheart

(I was trying to show a picture of the initial pencil sketch but it won't upload)

The sketch let me figure out what to do wit the hair and outfit. Im gonna outline everything and change what I want to change

I'll do little posts about it in the future to show my progress.

Also here's some lore (because I always write lore) under the cut

This is Hani.

Hani is an outgoing, curious and optimistic six year old girl. She's currently going to a brand new school for hyper intelligent prodigies. She's new and is a little bit of an outcast but it'll be alright! She's already made two friends! Amara and Luke are super cool and friendly and she knows that things are as sweet as honey.

(God I'm so cringy)

Also she's really into entomology (the studyof insects) , that's how she got in in the first place

[rubys-domain]
