[thegreatestguild]

whats wrong with abyss?

(Ooc)

TW — SA, SUICIDE, ABUSE, KIDNAPPING, VIOLENCE, R@PE

The Tw speaks for its self she drew a comic on her nsfw twitter account of fakeman doing this to bullfrog and ramon both . I was reading her comic anyways before this until I found that account . Now I just stopped supporting it altogether .

Not to mention the time Ramon got REALLY close to sexually assaulting bullfrog before he pushed him away from it after he already said no. I don’t care if he didn’t follow through that’s disgusting.

Recently she posted a new part of this comic that shows Ramon trying to manipulate bullfrog to not leave him by saying he will commit suicide, and even before this he had hit another character named Bass. Physically abusing him.

Even in the beginning , she made a comic of Ramon being kidnapped by someone who keeps him in a room and has a shock muzzle put on his snout . (Yes I call it a snout I don’t see it as a nose .) This person then tries to get Ramon to have sex with him, and Ramon makes many excuses as to why he won’t. Eventually Ramon snaps at the guy for the constant “Rayman” Name calling, absolutely shredding him before bullfrog comes in to slit the guys throat and finish it up.

It is disgusting. But besides the gross stuff, Ramon and Bullfrog are really out of character anyways??? And even though this is I think SUPPOSED to be rayfrog Comic she kinda keeps adding new random characters.

When I tried posting about her on TikTok to spread more awareness a mutual commented something about my arguments not being like. Idk correct in a way?? I ofc was like WHAT?? Which the moot then said my video was posted and being shared in TV ABYSS’S DISCORD SERVER. WHICH I DIDNT RVRN KNOW SHE HAD?? This caused me to block that person and make my account private until I felt safe enough to be public again all because I was afraid of being sent a hoard of threats by abyss’s dickriders .

I hate her and you should 2

[raymanh8r]

Pinned !

Character info that isn’t in the bio: he calls itself raymesis or dark, it’s bisexual + demiace

he’s not as self aware, though it knows something odd is going on. Since in some universes he doesn’t exist he stays mostly in one place, though sometimes it just gets these… empty feelings.

his personality however is mostly just him being a hater to rayman LMAO

shipwise, I’m fine with mostly anything except like. Mr Dark or Ales since they’re kinda like its relatives in a way (at least to me).

no nsfw anything. Just in general.

[dib-thing-wannabe]

Screw it, Rayman and Raymesis headcanons (Mainly Raymesis tbh)

Rayman definitely still refers to Betilla as "Mama", you cannot convince me otherwise.

Rayman and Raymesis are brothers to me, you don't understand-

While watching the animated Rayman tv show, @odtherat and I quickly noticed that Rayman just cannot pronounce his R's. So, since Raymesis is a clone of Rayman, we'd thought that it would make sense that he'd have trouble pronouncing something too. We went with his t's, especially his th's, due to him having sharp teeth. For example, he'd say "Dat" instead of "That". He'd deny that he has problems with pronunciation though and claim that he's saying it like that to be cool or something.

THEY. HAVE. TAAAAAILS!

They are both candy lovers (Raymesis more so), though Rayman prefers candies to suck on while Raymesis prefers candies to chew on.

Raymesis would claim that his favorite color is either blue or black, and while they are certainly one of his favorites, his actual favorite color is pink. He'd also unironically pick out a lot of foods just due to the fact that they are pink.

Raymesis sleeps with stuffed animals. No, you can't tell me otherwise.

Rayman's favorite flower is a African Daisy while Raymesis can't decide between Carnations and Camellias. (Raymesis would deny having a favorite flower to begin with)

Rayman is a Mama's boy and isn't ashamed to say it while Raymesis's is a Daddy's boy but would deny it until the end of his days.

Mr. Dark absolutely spoiled the hell out of Raymesis, half the time without even realizing that he was, resulting in Raymesis's more bratty nature.

Rayman is Audhd while Raymesis has autism.

The both of them like energy drinks. Rayman likes Redbull, while Raymesis likes Monster.

Physically, Raymesis is more sensitive then Rayman, but Rayman would run away from a fight before Raymesis would.

Rayman is actually very protective of Raymesis, though he claims not to be. So, if someone was as to upset and/or hurt Raymesis in some way, they would quickly find out just how scary Rayman's threats are if he's holding himself back.

Though they both can get absolutely hammered when they want to, Rayman is considered the drinker out of the two of them, mainly because Raymesis can't handle the hangover as well as he can.

Raymesis has definitely cussed Rayman out for calling him emo, but not because he takes it as an insult, but instead because Rayman didn't know the differences between emo, goth, rock, scene, and all other sub genres, and that pissed him off so much that he went into a tangent because of it.

They both paint their nails black, though Raymesis is the only one who shows it off.

Rayman is a thighs guy, and once drunkenly rambled to Raymesis about wanting to just get his head crushed by a nice pair of thighs. Raymesis, being an arms/stomach guy and not drunk, just gets extremely concerned for Rayman.

Raymesis just loves his hair being brushed by someone else. Is he himself aware of this? No, no he is not.

Raymesis DEFINITELY cries when he's mad. (Me? Self projecting? Nooooo-)

They both definitely cling to each other when scared without realizing it.

[just-a-gamer-daydeamer-girl]

More Rayman head cannons now starring his friends!

Rayman is unable to stretch, but is curious about it because he hears it feels good, if he somehow gets arms and legs he probably try stretching to see how it feels

Ly, murffy and Betilla are all different species of fairy. Betilla’s kind is more of a typical fairy with wings while Ly’s kind is humanoid with animal and insect traits, such as tails, claws or butterfly wings. Murffy’s kind has the traditional wings but are pretty small.

Ly can only ‘fly’ when channeling her magic, and runs on all fours

Globox has an incredible memory, he remembers ALL of his children’s names and distinct features and personality traits.

Barbara was saved by Rayman out of her imprisonment from her tower, but this happened differently then the tropes, after all it was a self imprisonment, Rayman convinced her to step out and save her kingdom (after the two of them brawled)

Voodoo mama is an expert of transformation magic, it’s why her wings are bat wings, she liked the look and feel of them better then the typical fairy wings.

Betilla used to have limbs, however due to creating Rayman and giving him powers, she ended up losing them becoming limbless. Her magic is in Rayman and Rayman’s power is in her.

Rayman real size is in fact around 5ft(including the space where his ‘legs’ should be), but he actually changes his size depending on his mood. He has the power to change size remember? He can’t get super tiny with out the help of a funnel or a flying blue elf, but he can shrink down a good few feet. He can’t do it instantly though and he likes to be on the smaller size.

Barbara’s favorite food is chocolate

The magician is the one who made the end goal signs in Rayman 1,

Betilla has a pretty grey moral compass but it’s a lot more functional then other magic users.

Raymesis has a soft spot for music boxes

Clark likes having tea, but it’s difficult for him to find cups that he can’t accidentally break. He also like flavorful drinks.

Dolph Laserhawk has quite a serious hair care routine (before he got caught became a GHOST) I mean have you seen his hair in the series? It’s beautiful.

Bullfrog never got a proper name, (I mean his name is kinda the equivalent of a man being named Homo sapien or Human). This is due to the life he lived before becoming an assassin, honestly hybrid seem to be so abused that it wouldn’t be surprising to me if some of them weren’t given names cuz why bother. After becoming an assassin he had the chance of getting a proper name but he refused sticking with the name Bullfrog.

Ramon may not be aware of this but he’s got control over his hair and can glide just like Rayman. He did slick his hair back no problem.

Rayman helped the space opera network so much that it’s practically another studio compared to when the Phantom ran it. It’s now got quality and passionate programs that are encouraged to be as creative as possible, not to mention the amazing employee benefits and the fact no one judges you because of your specices.

Ly like learning about magic and has definitely messed with cursed artifacts and tried to learn more about Rayman biology (he did not make it easy for her).

The space opera network most popular show was ment to be a prank. It was just video footage of Rayman sleeping, but it was wildly popular. (Rayman has no idea about this)

Tilly wants to become a hero and fighter just like Rayman and is doing her best to try and become his apprentice by impressing him. She just has really odd ideas on how to impress…

Most of the princesses in Rayman legends are related to each other.

Beeb-o is Jeanie’s father. Their relationship is weird cuz there robots, but over the course of sparks of hope Jeanie ‘grows up’ from just an ai ment to help to truly her own being.

Rabbid Mario does a lot of unboxing videos, Rabbid peach always butts in.

The four kings in Rayman origins were monster because they were inflicted with darktoons, if the fishermen/monks had the darktoons stuck on their head too long they would turn into monsters as well.

Rayman has a really soft and squishy torso, he pretty much has no bones in there. He makes squeaky toy noises if he is squeezed hard enough.

Elysia doesn’t actually have a scar or a missing tooth, he actually puts on makeup to match her sister, everything else she just goes goth.

Rayman had a special vault installed in the space opera network, it keeps the more dangerous props from causing damage, such as weapons, explosives and darkmess that the prop department tried to use, only Rayman knows how to open the vault, no one gets to use the dangerous stuff without his knowledge or permission.

Finally:

Rayman’s existence cannot be erased by anything. No god, infinity gauntlet or whatever can make him fade away.

[djsherriff-responses]

This is just a rant about a post that’s come across my dashboard and I rather not engage with it , so I’m making my own post

I really don’t think Rayman has DID based on what we’ve seen of season one. The mirror scene is often brought up as “proof” he has the condition. But people with DID often have memory issues as the personalities have different experiences and hold onto different memories from one another , in some cases people aren’t even aware they have different personalities (especially if they’re not getting help) and when the personalities switch, the person has no idea it even happened and won’t remember anything from that time (correct me I’m not an expert and it can vary from person to person).

Rayman hasn’t been shown to struggle with any of those aspects, even when making the “switch” to Ramon he still not only remembers, but he has the same personality as he was as Rayman. The only real difference is as “Rayman” he was a celebrity who’s main role was being a propaganda machine, while as “Ramon” he realised the truth about what he was actually doing and wanted to put a stop to it. Ramon is still caring and wants to do the right thing (especially for children and minorities) , he’s the same person just putting on a new “act” , rather than having an actual personality switch.

plus, “talking to your inner self/past self through a mirror” isn’t just a trope associated with characters with split personalities. It can (and more often is) also be used for a character to self reflect and look back on their past actions , which I think the mirror scene was actually about. Ramon arguing with Rayman was him arguing with himself on what to do , rather than Ramon and Rayman being separate people in his mind.

Season two could very well confirm he has DID or a similar condition but we haven’t seen it yet, and I don’t think we should call Adi ableist for something that’s just a headcanon more than anything else , as of now at the very least.

Saying that Dolph is a “self insert power trip” for Adi and Adi is just using Rayman as a “stepping stone”……..Is certainly something of a claim.

The two are very clearly narrative foils of one another and claiming Rayman only exists in this show to hype Dolph up is a shallow interpretation of both their characters and the story as a whole. You can obviously like Rayman while disliking Dolph and vice versa , but this is like saying characters like Vegeta or Riku are just "stepping stones" to hype up the protagonist. Narrative foils are important to the plot as individuals and how their similarities connects back to the themes. In the case of Captain Laserhawk, Dolph and Rayman are both victims of being exploited by the system of Eden and were used to hurt vulnerable people.

Not to mention it comes across like Adi "secretly" wrote a self insert fanfic in an existing franchise with an established lore, when Captain Laserhawk is very blatantly a remix using Ubisoft properties to make its own universe and rules. Captain Laserhawk does not shy away from the fact it’s an else world fanfic, it embraces its identity as such shamelessly and with no attempts to argue against it.

Like, Adi never hid the fact that Dolph was a self insert. He even had to tell people on twitter Dolph was Indian and not black, that’s how unashamed he is of Dolph being his character. People don’t have to like Dolph as a character and Captain Laserhawk is not a show for everyone but complaining that Dolph is Adi’s anime oc is like going into a anime convention and being shocked there’s anime fans there, you literally walked into the realm of anime dweebs.

It’s even in the title? It’s “Captain Laserhawk: a blood dragon remix” not “Rayman: a Blood dragon remix!”. It was very obvious from the beginning this show was never going to solely be about Rayman. Rayman fans were just lucky Rayman was more than just a cameo character , but most of us would’ve been happy if that’s all he was as prior advertising for Captain Laserhawk barely focused on Rayman’s existence in the narrative.

I know most people interested in this show prior to release were Rayman fans and they still remain the dominant in the fandom , but as a Rayman fan myself? I think people focus way too much on him (and Bullfrog) while ignoring everything else going on, sometimes it can even be detrimental to Rayman’s character itself when those other characters and elements are ignored.

Dolph being a “self insert” of Adi isn’t a “red flag”, especially when the only thing they really have in common is their nationality. I’m not gonna claim to know Adi as a person but based on some Google searching, he clearly wasn’t raised as a cybernetic super soldier. There’s aspects of Dolph’s worth talking about (both positive and negative) without making the bold statement a “self insert” is bad writing ,especially if you’re not gonna bring anything up about Adi as a person into the conversation to compare.

Most stories are self inserts or are in some way the artist inserting aspects of themselves in the story, even unintentionally. I know there are cases where the creator is just being shallow and/or spiteful (such as “I am not starefire”) but generally an artist inserting themselves in their works is not inherently a negative element of the work in question. Is this a complaint one would have towards Star Wars? If not, I’m curious what the difference between Lucas and Adi are?

Btw I struggle to understand how anyone looked at Dolph’s story and thought “power fantasy” when:

He is an orphan who was raised in the streets and later taken from his own mother by Eden

Was experimented on and dehumanised his whole life to be a super soldier for Eden

When Dolph no longer wanted to hurt innocent people and tried leaving the military, Eden branded him as a traitor to be hunted down

Gets groomed by the first man who Dolph felt safe with at the age of 18

Groomer/Boyfriend later shoots him in the chest just as Dolph thought they were about to leave Eden forever and live a peaceful life

He finds Alex sleeping with another man several days after the fact

Dolph anger and desire for revenge unintentionally got several people killed, including people like Jade who were trying to help him and who would’ve been a positive influence in his life

Kills Alex in an attempt to avoid having Alex ever hurting him again and immediately after doing that, tried killing himself

Is betrayed again by Sarah this time and actually successfully kills himself in an attempt to take Sarah down with him

How is any of any of that a “power trip self fulfilment fantasy”? Is there proof of Adi being a masochist?

[hexite-nightmares]

As a longtime Rayman player idk how I feel about Ubisoft making fun of themselves by turning Rayman into a washed out tv show host, like haha yeah self aware moment but we won't get a new game lol.

Also minor pet peeeve… why put rayman origins music over rayman 1 graphics

[loveydoveylex]

You are somewhat known in the fandom for both positive and negative aspects. Positive is your OC is recognizable and unique design wise as well with the many collab/commision you have. Negative is you are also known for being unhinged towards Rayman almost as if you 'own' the character resulting being cautious around you.

...what a strange message to send someone's way? am I supposed to take this positively? because I'm not.

of course I don't own rayman. I'm more than aware of that fact. I'm 'unhinged' towards him, lmao? I know my attachment to him is pretty damn extreme... I do have a sense of self awareness. but I don't want people to be cautious around me just because of that.

yeah, I'm easily made uncomfortable, but if I get uncomfortable, I block you... simple as that. and if you don't like me or my attachment to rayman... block me! I won't fault you.

it makes me sad and it upsets me to hear that people apparently tread around me with caution... I try my best to be kind and positive in this community. I don't want to come across as someone you can't approach without walking on eggshells.

what a weird thing - and a slap in the face - to tell someone.

[autisticlio]

Also the boss fight for the Giant Rabbid Robot in the original Raving Rabbids was kinda crazy. Originally you had to get on your spider mount and crawl up the robot and enter inside it and then set off a self destruct button.

The entire inside could be a level on its own and it was all supposed to be seamless with how the leaked footage played. Again I was like “this is cool but there’s no way this can work on the Wii without loading screens”.

I do wonder how the more melee oriented combat could expand and I wouldn’t be against a Rayman game with a melee system like that but his ability to throw his fists as well.

Yeah that sounds impossible for nearly any console at the time to do. The only game I am aware of that has no loading screens in the 2000s is Haunting Ground, but 1. that's a survival horror game focused more on escaping + puzzle solving and 2. on the Playstation 2. Open world implies it is all one area. You can have it not render everything at the same time by having certain assets load out if too far away, but that was more possible via PC and later consoles. But that begs the question of how scripted events would work?

[sumthinganarchy]

Another image from trasing the model, this one is obviously from sparks of hope.

Trasing the model actually helped with how I wanted to style him.

So now x reader, self aware stuff

[deadjam6]

Oh yeah sorry but Dark Rayman and Shadow Ray are literally the exact same design lol. Shadow Ray was made later for Rayman Adventures and it’s clear they just reused Dark Rayman from Legends.

The only difference is that Dark Rayman is only a mindless clone according to the Raywiki while Shadow Ray has a whole personality where he’s apparently obsessed with movies and films.

OOOOOH okok, new headcanon 🤓☝️

dark ray ALSO gained self awareness and became the newly aclaimed shadow rayman but hes not a bitchass liek raymesis so mr dark is ok with it (basically just merging the two together)

which in turn ALSO would make raymesis' daddy issues worse cuz mr dark is like open arms to shadow ray becoming his own man and doesnt replace him with another clone like he did with raymesis

[the-eggplantblog]

If I remember Rayman 3 was going to have a plot line similar in tone and structure to Rayman 2 in fact Rayman’s character model was just a higher definition of his design in 2.

For example Murfy was going to stay with you for a longer period of time before he has to leave and let a new guide fairy named Ludivine take over his role in helping you. Clark the giant was going to appear as an ally along with Ly in fact there’s a character model of Ly for Rayman 3 already made.

Begoniax was going to be an ally that would only help you if you help her in completing her potion that would make her beautiful which is what she was making on that big pot in the final game.

Reflux absorbed Leptys making him all powerful and you had to free the deity from Reflux.

Eventually it was retooled into a more comedic self aware story with a bit of an edge to it which was the style at the time.

a very interesting fact…..

[salty-ooc]

you cannot try to harass users off the site multiple times and then try to coyly worm your way back in. you have no empathy or self awareness. please just log off

Im like fully convinced half of you guys are following me just to see when I go active again and fucking pounce. Anyways Jesse what the fuck are you talking about. Ok now look at rayman

[girlstrider]

I finally managed to finish the captain laserhawk fic with my oc Rayya!

Warning! Mentions of violence, misgendering and ableism

The fic is under the cut

Ever since Rayman accepted his position in the studio, his little sibling had been prone to autistic meltdowns. He lost count on how often he had to soothe them as they bawled out their eyes.

What worried him though, was that because of that, the staff treated them ableistic, infantilising them and calling them things like "Daddys little girl" or "spoiled brat".

And frankly, he could understand why Rayya lost their temper after hearing that. Honestly, those names insulted him too. He felt like the staff was looking down on him for his parenting, but they were too afraid to say that in his face because of his fame, so they instead let it out on his sibling.

"Daddys little girl" was a punch to the guts in itself, he wasn't their father, he was their brother and they weren't a girl either, but they didn't respect their identity and pronouns anyway, which disgusted him.

"Spoiled brat" however...

Back in his dimension, he never heard anyone use that term in context of Rayya. Everyone understood and respected their autism and tried to accommodate them to the best of their abilities. That's what ticked him off. That, in this dimension, people assumed they were just a brat and that he couldn't take care of them.

Rayman sat in his boss's office and listened to him.

"Your sister stabbed a staff member for no reason, Rayman..."

"That's not what I've heard", the limbless interjected, ignoring the fact his sibling got misgendered again, "I've heard that the staff member said I should be ashamed of my sibling and , quote, unquote, 'spank them'..."

"That's still not an excuse to stab someone!"

Geez, they all acted like he did nothing but cuddle Rayya and tell them they're a very special kid...

Of course he scolded them when he heard what happened. He was shocked, even! This went against what he taught them, and yet...

... In hindsight he thought the staff member... deserved it.

——————————————————————

The TV Star was pacing up and down in front of a locked door before hesitantly knocking on it.

"Rayya? Please come out, I'm not gonna yell at you anymore."

Nothing.

"Rayya, please! I'm sorry that I upset you but I'm not gonna apologize for scolding you. You stabbed someone!"

He knocked on the door again.

"Go away! I know you hate me!", Rayya said muffled through the door.

This broke Rayman's heart. He didn't hate them! In fact, they were the reason he was doing all of this!

"I don't hate you, butterfly... I was just shocked you would stab someone, that's all..."

After what felt like an eternity, the door finally opened and Rayya stepped out. It was clear they had been crying.

"Hey there, buddy... Need a hug?"

Rayya immediately fell into his arms and bawled their eyes out, like during every meltdown.

"I don't wanna be treated like a baby!"

"I know, I know, my little butterfly..."

Rayman thought about what to do next as he embraced his little sibling. He nuzzled them comfortingly while his brain searched for a solution to this problem.

"Unfortunately I can't do anything about the infantilisation, Rayya, but... Maybe you can use it to your advantage. That way I could even excuse the more... violent meltdowns and pass them off as self defense or something."

"But that's not what I want! I wanna be treated fairly like they used to at home!"

"This is our home now! And..." Rayman took a deep breath, feeling bad for having yelled at his sibling. "... I know this is a major step back and nobody knows about autism and its characteristics here... Maybe I can raise awareness on your condition if the network allows me. And maybe I can even bring people to treat you fairly like they used to in our dimension. But until then, I want you to use the mistreatment to your advantage, butterfly. Just... be a charming little kid, like your brother is the charming little limbless on TV, ok?"

Rayya looked at their brother while wiping away their tears. "Rayman, I don't think this is a good idea, but... If you really think it'll benefit me, then i'll use it to my advantage..."
