"You may happen across a TV with the brand name "Puzzlesvision" engraved on it. If the screen is on and displaying static, do not touch it. If you do, you'll no-clip out of reality and find yourself on the Sets, a winding maze of dreamlike, stripped-down rooms and locations that all feel a bit too familiar. If you want to leave, you must find the Green Room. Don't delay; you're not alone. He knows you're here."

SMG4 Liminal Space AU coming soon :)

(No noise/desaturation version under the cut)

☆ SMG4's Afterlife After Show

I have my own version of the whole "all the dead smg4 characters exist in a space together and hang out" thing but they're not like. In heaven.

They're just kinda in this never ending white void liminal space type area ?? They've got a peaches castle in there so they have a place to actually live. As for why it's there?? I dunno and neither to they. It wasn't there to begin with and only just recently showed up. Smth abt that castle never being used in an smg4 vid again or at least fir a while idk I forgot my thought process behind it.

Other than that there's a gateway window type thing the group can use to check up on the living cast. Honestly since I've decided they have a castle the gateway is probably a painting. Tho an individual can also just project themselves back down to the showgrounds or wherever but that's just tiring and can't ever really last long so it's not done as often.

The gateway is how they watch the weekly (uploads) adventures and the projection is more so how they check in on one specific person. Axol does this the most, he sits with Melony while she draws or naps.

This au started initially by me having the thought of "What if in Western Spaghetti when the simulation starts tweaking out around Axol and Desti they glitch into like fucked up mangled versions of themselves cuz of how they died?" With Desti obviously having a stab wound and a halo (based off that one merch piece where she also had a halo) and Axol being ALL FUCKED UP. In fact here's a doodle of the idea for said appearance (<— This is in the context of this au so that's why he's so calm. I'll be drawing the aforementioned scene some other time tho).

But yeah that's how the idea came to be so initially everyone was gonna have somewhat fucked up forms

Axol and Desti were just covered above

Zero was similar to Axol with the exposed ribs and had a broken half of Eldritch Zer0's horns.

Niles had that missing texture pattern Axol had on the covered side of his face and the other half of Eldritch Zer0's horns n some other shit

Wren was bruised asf from being crushed and also permanently sopping wet cuz he was in that tank when he died (fucking pathetic soggy cat)

Oh and Spudnick would have been covered in cracks and Fred would have been covered in missing texture patches if i had ever got to sketching them

However

This is no longer the case. Mainly because I just don't like the idea anymore. Maybe I'll still use the designs of smth, maybe I won't. Who knows?

I do wanna do some stuff with this dumb little au concept thingy of mine over here tbh. Being either drawing out scene ideas I've had, shitposts I've thought up, doing an ask blog with them, or maybe making an actual comic with this idea I had where they get a chance to reunite with some of their living friends again. I dunno and it'll be a while before I actually get anything interesting out but yk. Wanted to come ramble on endlessly again abt my newest interest lol.

So I'm typing up stuff for a liminal space AU and...I got excited and decided I wanted to share the names of some of the entities ahead of time. >w< I'll let your imagination leave you in suspense until I drop the details :3

[ENTITY NAMES UNDER THE CUT]

-Mr. Puzzles "The Director" -Cameraheads -Stagelights -Clappers -Zoetropes -Greenmen -Carnivorous Trailers -Mannequins -Fake People / NPCs -Actors

So as I'm working on the Liminal Space AU, a question comes to mind. As excited as I am to share it, of course I want to include some art, but the written stuff will be done a lot faster, and making art for EVERYTHING I have in mind will probably take some time.

So my question for the people who are also eager to see what I'm cooking up, shall I release a (mostly) text-only version of the AU before releasing art for it, or shall I wait to release anything until I have art?

[sh00t4th3m00n]

The people have spoken; I shall wait to release the Liminal Space AU until I have art :3
