Hello again, this is the anon who proposed the "Same person from different dimension" theory to you. To make things easier, I'll be introducing myself as "Nekkon", in case of future asks :) But do you think Six would stay at The Maw and fulfill The Lady's role, or will she stray from her destiny? in LN 1, her description reads, "She belongs elsewhere", but during the dev interview, it is implied that she and Mono are both trapped in their respective domains, with Mono's prison being "bleaker".

MASTERPOST

OH! Nice to meet you, Nekkon! Your ask was really big brained and I really appreciated it, just like I'm LOVING this one right now.

Ok, so. Let's take a step back. Here's the specific passage of the interview that you're referring to for context:

Key phrases here are "our lead character is trapped and seemingly victorious", "Mono's fate seems bleaker than Six's" and "What connects the protagonists in both games [...] is how they are shaped by the world around them."

Now, taking this alone into account, what we can assume is that both Mono and Six are trapped at the end of their respective games. The reason I believe we might percieve the two endings in such different ways is because we are seeing them from the perspectives of Mono and Six themselves.

When he sits on that chair, all hope is lost for Mono. His only friend has abandoned him after he did everything he could to protect her. His trust and heart are shattered. He gives up completely and accepts his bleak fate, dooming himself to be shaped by the Tower and become the Thin Man and thus fit in his rightful place in the cycle. We see the process of his transformation in the final sequence of the game.

On the other hand, we have Six and her terrifying walk of triumph down the Guest's hall. She doesn't run, she doesn't jump: she doesn't need to. She's become the most powerful being on the Maw. Nothing can threaten her survival anymore, not even the Hunger. She marches victoriously until she finally reaches the end of the hall and she's basked in light as she walks up the stairs... only to realize that her powers have tied her forever to the Maw.

These two images I chose give me the same exact feeling.

A silent defeat no one but Mono and Six will ever know about, only accompanied by the soft music box and crashing of the waves.

They were both victims and pawns in a much larger scheme they knew nothing about until it was too late.

... Or was it?

This is when Six's official description from LN comes in. It reads as follows:

"Trapped in the darkest depths of the Maw, starving and alone, Six’s world is one filled with danger. Most children would have already given up, but Six is different. She’s smart, and tough, and has a lovely yellow raincoat. She belongs elsewhere."

I highlited those two phrase because I noticed a trend in the Square that I believe might be what keeps the whole cycle going.

The Thin Man, Mono, the Lady... they all give up eventually.

For the Thin Man, it's during his battle, in those last moments of clarity where he looks at his own hand as if he had just realized what he had done instances before dissolving.

For Mono, it's when he sits on the chair and takes the place of his predecessor, allowing the cycle to start again.

For the Lady, it's when she's on the ground, mask broken, sobbing in defeat as picks up her head one last time and moves her arm to make room for the child who is going to devour her, thus leaving the title to her.

And because they give up, the cycle repeats.

Had the Thin Man fought harder, Mono wouldn't be sitting in the Tower.

Had Mono kept looking for a way out, he wouldn't have become the Thin Man.

Had the Lady done something, anything, like smacking Six away with her hand for example, she would still be alive and Six wouldn't have taken her powers.

What about Six, then? We never see her giving up.

That. Is. The. Thing.

Six doesn't give up. It's not in her nature. Six fights and fights and fights. She fights for herself, for the future and the freedom she deserves.

To conclude: I find interesting is how the Lady has been defined as someone who "belongs on the Maw" - the exact opposite of Six. To me, this implies that this is a choice the girl destined to become the Lady has to take eventually; either stay on the Maw, survive as one of the strongest beings in the world and keep the cycle going, or break the cycle and venture into the unknown.

For now, Six seems to be confined to the Maw. For now. But in the future? Who knows.

All I know is that if anyone is capable of breaking the cycle, that person is Six.

Beautiful vampire!Yuuri for @nekkons-art bc i’m weak for vampires and pointy ears

[thekahootofeverything]

So I saw this tweet by the fabulous Nekkon, and it got me thinking. Why are Roger’s arms so long?

Crazy theory, but hear me out.

So we all know that Roger (the janitor) has really long arms. They call him the impossible man, he’s very strange. So I started thinking, how did his arms get so long? A theory I came up with was, Roger can manipulate his body in strange ways.

It’s common knowledge that Roger is short. He’s got stubby legs, he’s even smaller than the hunter. So, what if he put all his leg length into his arms? He’s blind, he doesn’t need to walk great distances. In some scenes (ex, the scene where Roger traps Six in the cage,) his arms extend even longer than normally expected. So, maybe in some specific situations, he can put all of his arm length into a singular arm. Y’know, stubby leg arm, extremely long right arm.

It’s a theory, what do y’all think? Can he manipulate his body, or does he just have really long arms?

「Buzzer Beater」by Kagurazaka Soushi Lyrics + Translation

I’m surprised no one had translated this already, since the song’s been out for a while. This is actually my favorite X Lied song (sorry Ryota and Mamoru…)! Soushi is also my favorite Soara member and a fun fact is that he’s the only Tsukipro character where I actually add the extra “u” into the name. That’s because my friend’s dog’s name is also Soushi so it just looks more natural to me lol. 

“Buzzer beater” is a term in basketball where someone tries to make a shot at the last minute, so that’s what this song alludes to. It mentions sports “plays” and the usual “never give up” stuff. The song’s lyrics substitute katakana for regular jp words in some places and that annoyed me, but I think I translated it alright. These lyrics will be used in the Alive Party 2017 Summer subs so definitely let me know if there’s typos or if something should be corrected! Kanji, romaji, and the English translation are under the cut.

Kanji:

English Translation:

Yeah darling! No, no, no, no, don’t get shy Come stand on stage and let your heart pound So, hey, hey, hey, hey, don’t tease me Let it beat at full volume Woah

Just kidding… I’m trying to joke around but, In my chest my heartbeat’s not joking anymore This uncharacteristic behavior has me in despair Shall we abandon that and change it?

In my head I still have the taste of defeat I’ve seen in my dreams over and over I’d be happy if these “what if’s” scenarios cease, but These things have been rooted in me

No, no, no, no, don’t pout Change those mistakes and crawl upwards So, hey, hey, hey, hey, with this forceful play, Keep running until time runs out

Yeah darling! No, no, no, no, don’t be sorry Nothing will change, let’s show them what we’re made of So, hey, hey, hey, hey, get serious And cry out at full volume Woah, never say never again

I’m always acting cool like this but, In hopeless times I can’t keep that facade up at all On a day I thought I was going to die from being reckless It was only unseen bruises

Some things are still a work in progress as the season’s end approaches Will it still continue? I was burning with the spite that was my fuel My sweat spurs me on - fragrant, isn’t it?

No, no, no, no, don’t be afraid Take back the loss from the start So, hey, hey, hey, hey, destroy things like rules Go on without restrictions

Yeah darling! No, no, no, no, do it even if it’s unpleasant If your stomach shrinks, there’s delicious food waiting Hey, hey, hey, hey, it’ll give you energy And get your body fired up Woah

Woah, dar-ling-ding-dong

Never say never ‘cause it’s not the end Stay persistent up until the last moment, Buzzer Beater!

Ah, going around Brooding like this during these final moments Don’t feel down - fight on!

These things have been rooted in me Look into these eyes and feel it

No, no, no, no, don’t pout Change those mistakes and crawl upwards So, hey, hey, hey, hey, with this forceful play Keep running until time runs out

Yeah darling! No, no, no, no, don’t get shy Come stand on stage and let your heart pound So, hey, hey, hey, hey, don’t tease me Let it beat at full volume Get your body fired up

First 5 days of OC-Tober!

Where I immediately showcase off most of my fixations,,

Anyway!

Day 1: Favorite OC - Rin lives in my brain rent-free.

Day 2: Oc in your clothing- I wear t-shirts and lounge pants. So I tossed an anthro Twig into my current outfit.

Day 3: Oc style swap- I just recently redesigned Nekkon so I tossed him in Rins kimono/hisui outfit and gave Rin Nekkon’s wetsuit and outerwear.

Day 4: First design of a current OC- one of my first warrior cats ocs was a very original Black Mackerel Tabby with Yellow Eyes who was Evil and related to TigerStar. Her name was TigerPelt and was from ThunderClan but left to ShadowClan to be Evil.

In the current day he is still a black mackerel tabby with orange eyes, but is a demigirl named HawkBriar, is amab and uses he/she/they pronouns, still lives in ThunderClan but eventually becomes a rogue with their polycule :]

Day 5: Least Favorite OV- Ra. Fuck Ra. Hes the villain of an oc storyline and he exists for you to hate him. He is an irredeamable fuckwad.

[nekkons-art]

[dyeingdoll]

I experimented with coloring a little - made black and white base, then added colours, and i’m not really satisfied with the result but at least i like his teeth, they turned out great

@nekkons-art your Yuuri, now advertizing :D

[iamespecter]

nekkon do you happen to have a sona? :))

Yes I do~ I have 3, but I rarely use other sonas, so much so that I think they've been demoted to OC ranks-

but anyways, here are the full list :D

Main sona: Specter [it/they/them]

- A demon object-head with an eel tongue. Usually found through forest areas, simply lodging and minding it's business. However, they will not hesitate to attack and eat trespassers when in bitter mood, but if you're in luck, it will simply watch you from afar with amusement as your trek it's territory or just mildly perform a prank/jumpscare on you.

Has two forms it primarily takes on, but can shapeshift into other forms as well:

- Pocket size

- Humanoid form

[I also have a bf, this was our 1 year anniversary painting that I did]

Sonas that may have been demoted to OC ranks due to how rarely I use them nowadays:

2nd sona: Nekkon [she/they]

- A Sierian [original open species of mine] with an unknown motives. Incredibly mysterious, and secretive. Prefers solitude more than any other.

[Nekkon was still the main sona during this time.]

ehem, you'll have to excuse the poor quality of phone art. It's been a while since I've drawn Nekkon nowadays.

3rd sona: DJ-Rashka [she/it/them]

- A music-based mercenary and hacker, Rashka is usually hired to get the job done in a not-so obvious way, slick and clean of evidence. However, she serves as a part-time DJ at parties, and she's pretty good at it, too.

[Heavily inspired by The Musical Ghost's remix of Pokemon Gym trainer theme]

[AT by @ /DeAniSketchbook on twitter!]

Now, admittedly I don't do a lot of OC arts nowadays. I've been so focused on drawing commissions and fanarts, that I barely have time for these kinds of stuff. Which, I am trying to change. Once all my pending comms are done, I'm gonna be opening patreon, so that I can devote most of my time into drawing my personal projects and working on them again after such a long hiatus.

that way, I can still earn without the stress of pending owed art and the deadlines, and draw what I like, leaving me to enjoy doing art once again. Because honestly? Lately I've been feeling burntout and unmotivated with the amount of comms I've been doing. Honestly feels like I've lost my passion in art.

I say it's time for me to take a loooooooooong break from it.
