More personal character stuff

Yeah, I know, I know. It's another personal OC of mine that nobody but me cares about (Really, it's one I've already talked about, but, well...) But I really enjoy talking about them.

So. Radman (Short for radical man) is a... Superhero... whose personality and interests are based around the 70s-90s. He's a "mysterious" guy who just never loses!

Long story short, Radman is Timothan. When Timothan became basically all-powerful, he jumped at the chance to give himself an alter-ego so he could stop crime.

[Early Radman]- He's just your average superhero who can't die. With an idealistic view on saving the world and stopping pain, he's always there to put an end to crime.

[Late Radman]- He's not doing too hot. He's got that problem all immortals have where he outlives his family, his friends, and even his enemies. The people of Lemonland see him as either a malicious monster, or a being to worship, while, in reality, he's just human. When he just couldn't take it any more, he stepped out to wander the multiverse... And on his first jump, he found his mother. His father and his sister had long since died of old age, but with the way different universes interact with time, his mother was only eighteen years older than when she'd disappeared. Not only that, but she'd had another daughter. It turns out she had been pregnant when she vanished. (There are no humans in the universe she found herself in, so there is no possible way for her to have cheated.) In any case, he feels regret. His father never got to see his mother again, or his new sister. So now Radman lives, trying not to just bring his family back to life. (He's got some morality issues he promised Namie he'd work on before they died.) Also, his new sister, Timotina (hah) is exactly like he was before he became Radman. Timotina looks up to Radman and wants to be just like him, but Radman REALLY doesn't want to see her turn out like him.

Timothan uses Radman as a coping mechanism. Why be human when you can be an infallible superhero? And, who knows how his family would see him if he let his real self show? He's made so many mistakes, and when you always see the outcomes of your mistakes, it really takes a toll on you.

They have to bury him now

The throwing soil on the grave thing you do in a funeral

They need to go now, move on with their lives.

He is angry, his chief just died, you must understand his anger!

They now really moved on

They go and they will never meet again, only in hell.

What do you MEAN normal people don't arm lemons with tiny paper weapons they made in the middle of the night?

I regret nothing.

English Translation: Дюна — Страна лимония (Dyuna — The Country of Lemonland)

Original song found here.

English: Across the seas there's a lemon orchard I'll find a lemon and be happy But I won't give it to you, don't you dare blame me! Take a look and see how good it is But you won't find it along the road Try to do it yourself, I won't teach you! Lemons grow on high mountains On steep slopes for cool people You won't find any shorter road! I see my target, I want to pull myself toward the lemons I'm flying toward the lemons, getting high on the steepness! Lemonland's a carefree country An underground passage leads to Lemonland Try to find it yourself, I won't teach you! It's a rough road, with trickery everywhere But so I don't get distracted, I've got a plan But I won't give it to you, don't you dare blame me! Lemons grow on high mountains On steep slopes for cool people You won't find any shorter road! I see my target, I want to pull myself toward the lemons I'm flying toward the lemons, getting high on the steepness! Across the seas there's a lemon orchard I'll find a lemon and be happy But I won't give it to you, don't you dare blame me! I've been looking for Lemonland for ages now I'm sick of always-fashionable tomatoes Take a bite yourself, don't you dare share it with me! Don't you dare share it with me! Don't you dare share it with me! Русский: За морями есть лимоновый сад Я найду лимон и буду рад Но тебе не дам не смей меня винить Посмотрите до чего он хорош Но на дороге ты его не найдешь Попробуй сделай сам не буду я тебя учить Растут лимоны на высоких горах На крутых берегах для крутых Короче ты не достанешь Я вижу цель я за лимоном дотянуться хочу Я за лимоном лечу и крутизной наслаждаюсь Страна Лимония страна без забот В страну Лимонию ведет подземный ход Найти попробуй сам не буду я тебя учить Трудна дорога и повсюду обман Но чтоб не сбиться у меня есть план Но я тебе не дам не смей меня винить Растут лимоны на высоких горах На крутых берегах для крутых Короче ты не достанешь Я вижу цель я за лимоном дотянуться хочу Я за лимоном лечу и крутизной наслаждаюсь За морями есть лимоновый сад Я найду лимон и буду рад Но тебе не дам не смей меня винить Страну Лимонию ищу с давних пор Мне надоел вечнозелёный помидор Его ты кушай сам не смей его со мной делить Не смей его со мной делить Не смей его со мной делить

Translator’s Note: This song is fully of goofy wordplay, and the primary ones rest on the layered meanings of лимон (lemon) and крутой (steep). Лимон, I learned long after I knew the song, is a Russian flipped-sound slang term (similar to Pig Latin or French verlan) for миллион (million), so ultimately the “lemons” are a metaphor for money. (For an absurdly long time, especially with my literal autistic brain, I thought Russians just literally ate raw lemons as a culture! But now that I know the last words of the song, they certainly don’t, and and in some ways the whole song seems like a sort of prank to fool a gullible person — said person also would have interpreted “lemon” literally and gotten a rude awakening with a mouthful of sourness.) 

Likewise, крутой has long had the figurative sense of “cool/awesome” in Russian. “крутизной наслаждаюсь” would more literally be translated as “I’m reveling in the steepness/coolness” but since “steep” doesn’t have the same slang meaning in English I decided to put the pun/double meaning on the verb instead of the noun — which to me works all the more because the fervor that people are going after these “lemons” makes them seem practically druglike to me.

A lesser wordplay that I want to point out (that would work in pretty much any language, I figure) is that of the вечнозелёный помидор, literally “evergreen tomato.” This indicates that tomatoes have always been popular in comparison to “lemons,” but a green tomato is of course an unripe one, so this particular choice of word seems to indicate both that it’s popular and the singer’s disdain for it.

One last note — Sergey Katin, the then-songwriter/lead singer of Dyuna (and bizarrely enough, the dad of one of the t.A.T.u girls) originally tried giving this song a few years earlier to singer Larisa Dolina, whose version is here. The straight-ahead pop sound of her version didn’t really fit the bizarre lyrics, so the song flopped, and it wasn’t until Katin and his band decided to make their own version with its infectious caffeinated-oompah-band energy that it became a beloved favorite of Russians everywhere in the early 90s.

Usually can’t stand dad jokes but these did make me chuckle. I love the simplicity of the illustration, despite being faceless the text and punctuation still seems to show their emotion.

Very personal stuff incoming

This is less to entertain others and more for me to just talk about this world that I greatly enjoy developing. So, if you don't care, just leave now.

So; Lemonland! An island that occupies the space in between universes. It grows and shrinks to fit the population, so you never have to worry about food or housing. How did it come to be? Well, over time, universes have tears build up in their fabric, letting things sort of drip through to Lemonland. (Our universe connects through the Bermuda triangle because it's neat.) While, yes, there are humans and human-like creatures, the number of them is smaller than other types of creatures. The island itself is kind of a utopia, however, with all these people and creatures occupying the same space, there are a lot of problems that crop up, whether those are personal or interpersonal. There are few to no rules that say who or what an occupant can be, so magic-wielders can live in the same house as literal war robots. Why is it called Lemonland? When it was first discovered, all the occupants had to eat were lemons from the lemon trees that dotted the landscape. The strange thing about these lemons is that if an individual eats a large number of them, certain parts (Normally hair or eye color) would change to a bright yellow, similar to flamingos when they eat shrimp. (This is mostly used as a way to differentiate different versions of the same character, however, some characters dye their hair to hide their identity.) Now, why would you need to differentiate when there's only one version of the character? Well, there are a lot more than just the one, actually. There are places that parallel Lemonland, such as Limeland (Similar except for one character's choices.) and Pumkinplace (Basically a Halloween-styled Lemonland.) Characters often jump to and from different Lemonlands, so you may have two or more versions of the same person in one place at the same time.

So... Who lives in Lemonland? (Right now, I'll stick to the primary Lemonland.) Timothan and his family. Timothan is an extreme optimist. Some people might even consider it toxic how optimistic he is. Thanks to the "Lemondyeing" of his hair, he looks like any other blonde haired, blue eyed white boy. He doesn't really think things over, and he expects everything to always work out. Since it actually does always work out, he doesn't really learn from his mistakes. He has one sister, Timothania, who travels across the multiverse in a small boat, and a dad named Deero who sticks around and helps out when he can. His mother disappeared when he was young, and nobody seems to know where she is or why she vanished.

Next is Namothy, a version of Timothan from Limeland who is occupying Lemonland because of a serious mistake he made that turned everyone he knew against him. He's almost exactly like Timothan, except he's more unhinged.

Then's Namie (Short for "the nameless one") who is a being of personified negative human emotions. They were created, destroyed the lab they were created in, got transported to Lemonland in order to prevent their entire home planet getting destroyed. And then's when they changed. Since they were based on humanity, they started to think like a human. So they got tired of being negative. And that's when they found Timothan. He's the closest thing to a being of pure positive emotions, so they sort of latched onto him (metaphorically) so he could teach them to be happier.

Bean Man. Yep. You read that right. Bean Man. He's an all-powerful deity that nobody seems to know. He sits at the top of a mountain in a gas station. And he looks like a bean with arms and legs. He's so powerful that when Timothan drinks from a goblet that Bean Man recently also drank from, Bean Man's saliva gave Timothan the power to restructure whatever universe he is currently in. Namothy also has this power, along with most other versions of Timothan, however, it was gained from Limeland's version of Bean Man.

Sorry this was so long and potentially confusing, I just really like talking about my stuff.
