It'll take time to cover our vast multitude of sins, but "sorry" is where it begins...

UGH THIS WAS SO FUN TO DO!!! I'm not completeellyyy happy with the lighting and colors but I think it turned out pretty welll >wo

I loved encorporating Sssir Pentiousss's design into Sssun and adding Charlie's design to Bob! (though adding Charlie's design elements was a bit more difficult due to how different their designs are lol)

Anyway me when the mother son dynamic im not normal theyre so fun. Me when Bob called Sun "mom" again. Cried tbh

On the Subject of TAOCC Angst

Hiya hiya hello, it’s me, Elsie lol. Time to throw in my two cents, maybe make a THIRD FREAKING POLL (so sorry q.q), and present us with some options.

WE NEED TO TAKE THIS SLOW AND THINK LOGICALLY BEFORE MAKING ANY MAJOR DECISIONS. THIS IS NOT OUR FINAL DECISION, THIS IS A MASTERPOST AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT PEOPLE WANT.

Let’s start with being very blunt. TAOCC is a bit of a directionless mess right now. We’ve got tons of characters, which isn’t a bad thing on its own! But unfortunately a lot of these characters have the same mod (hi hello i’m kind of part of the problem :’D). This means that we have a Simarillion’s worth of lore and not much of an idea of how to move anywhere with it. If anyone joins or returns after hiatus, they’ve missed a ton and have to figure it all out again from scratch, especially because we do not have ANY form of filing system for any of this. Too many characters, too many events, no organization, and a borderline insane amount of angst.

So, we have a few options of how to move forward here.

Autumn’s Solution/reset

Reset. All of it. Start with the characters and nothing else.

Pros: No more angst! And we get to have all that bonding all over again.

Cons: This doesn’t factor in backstories, and how backstories are often angsty and will instigate angst pretty much no matter what. Angst kind of has to exist in-universe forum the very nature of TADC itself, and just starting from scratch won’t change that.

2. “Move forward”

Don’t change the past, but do change the future. Make things slow down, but not because of any major event. Just have things Calm. Down.

Pros: less angst!

Cons: still too many characters. And still a lot of pre-established lore and no way to file it.

3. Extinction.

Kill off/incapacitate/retire half the characters. Then have the remainder unite over that and fix stuff.

Pros: less characters, possible less angst

Cons: extreme angst in the process.

4. Abandonment/new game/Lann’s solution

Restart with new characters. Or just make a new rp thing entirely. Maybe make a filing system this time around lol.

pros: less characters, less angst maybe.

cons: pretty much anything getting rid of all of our work over the last few months is kinda…wasteful and extreme, in my opinion.

5. “Software update”

A less extreme version of the reset, where we have a software update installed. Keep the old lore/characters, but dampen the angst for later. Give the characters some new coats of paint maybe, and figure out which characters to focus on for the near future.

pros: less angst, doesn’t break the lore or delete our hard work

cons: we still have to figure out what the heck to do with these characters and make a deliberate effort not to have as much angst

6. Other/anyone else’s solutions

exactly what it says on the tin.

[lightthepathwithalantern]

guys i had an idea

what if, instead of a system reboot

We make a whole new universe while keeping the old one

Start fresh but keep the original seperate from the new one

Oh wait @askobjects

[taocc-updates]

”Oh, you like Taocc? Name every character.”

BET.

edit: I added the vague number of total characters listed. We’re at about 270, and I’m still adding characters.

(*By technicality

**formerly/no longer active/no longer acknowledged by the narrative as existing

***exist as of like ten seconds ago

I will only be including characters recognized as part of Taocc by more than one person. Characters will be vaguely grouped together however the frick I feel like and with only the vague suggestion of transitions. A character must have a tangible role that still has effects at the time of posting to be counted. I’m not counting all the deactivated characters from OG Taocc, for example. I am referencing the updates blog list as well as my following for this, because the challenge is to name them all, not to name them all by memory. Animals barely count sometimes when I feel like it.)

Someone please count how many characters there are (there should be one comma per character if that helps)

Edit: Nevermind, I did it for you.

This is a vague number, the actual number is higher than this, maybe about 270-300

[yourlocalboxhead]

WOAH HEY HI. UPDATE: NO DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE AT THIS TIME!

TAOCC is not going to be evaporated anytime soon. It's okay. We're collecting our thoughts, and we are going to address people's concerns.

People! Stuff is going on!

I'll just throw in my two cents since that's what a lot of ppl are doing: I only have the one (main) oc: Nuffle. He's my little guy, and I have a few plans for him that mostly depend on other's interactions with him. The comics are only his backstory, which won't change with a system reboot/soft reset/whichever gets decided. Before and After are mostly context for how he ended up in the circus. Again is the circus.

I wouldn't be opposed to a reboot, but I would suggest we exercise caution, as this is a pretty huge decision to make. Since there are a lot of ocs, it might be good to cut down on just... the number of characters you use? Have a main circus member and a possible side character, but not more than those?

And in terms of a reboot itself, that's erasing character growth which would be... something... Prime example: Bob. I can't speak for Bob's mod, but to revert back to a ghost seems like a lot...

SO! I propose a soft reset: keep core character arcs (physical changes, personality changes, etc.) and keep 1-2 main ocs. It would cut down on character volume and your favorite arcs would be preserved. Though that's just my opinion. Tagging ppl: @the-moth-from-elsewhere @theautumnalcat @star-on-a-beach @sh4tt3rg1rl @silhouette-anon @feiar @lightthepathwithalantern @bob-the-cemetery-ghost @yourlocalboxhead @starbies-hellhole @andy-aka-lilcsca @tailsbot98761 @master-dealmaker @anartistwithamask

There's also the option that we make some sort of group chat and rp in that because! Those are fun and... somewhat neater than Tumblr,,, atleast for individual rps,,,,,, but it wouldn't be public and.. aaaaaaa

[star-on-a-beach]

uhh

Bob

Mage

Lann

Sarah

Bow (I think idk tomb says someone like this alot)

Aplenglow or smth

And probably one more but I dont fully know

Hmmmmm ill do my best even tho I don't know much abt them all

Bob: Not sure of bobs current form but assuming it's his usual no limbs w/ tail form, he nibbles on the end of his tail when concentrating, kinda like how people chew the ends of their pencils and stuff.

Mage: Dunite invites her to tea parties sometimes and she always goes on about how stupid and childish they are but shuts up once she receives a harsh glare from Dunite. She actually doesn't mind them, she just wants to look cool by saying she does.

Lann: If I remember correctly, Lann can watch everything and I mean EVERYTHING from the forest they're trapped in, right? So I can imagine they regularly just get popcorn and jumbo sized movie snacks and watch whatever they want in TAOCC, whether it be romance, drama, fights, casual slice of life, or someone's untimely death. They have theories abt it all too.

Sarah: hmmmmmmm.... she lives in a castle, if I remember correctly. She regularly walks the hallways that way none of them go "unused" for too long.

Bow: I gen have never heard of bow, I am so sorry. But. I give them. A bow tie.🎀

Alpen: Don't keep up with Alpen very much.... BUT she likes fireflies a lot! I always associate them with her

Sorry, I don't keep up with most of these characters. Hope you like these tho!

[kumo-taoc]

A list of taocc characters and what I think their pokemon type/types would be and why

Kumo: Water/Normal

I struggled with this one a little, but I picked this because clouds are made of water, and kumo has sort of a cloud sweater! But kumo's just an all-around goofball, so I just put Normal as his second type.

Stitch: Grass/Rock

I chose grass for stitch because burlap is made of some sort of plant, and rock because sand is just a bunch of tiny little rocks.

Belle: Poison

This one shouldn't be hard to understand, but I'll explain anyway. She's made of poisonous sludge.

Icia: Ice/Steel

The ice one should be pretty self-explanatory, and I chose steel because she's a skilled swordfighter.

Bob: Ghost

...

Sign: Normal/Grass

Now, I may not know much sign lore, but I DO know that signs are usually made out of wood. Sign seems like a pretty normal guy, though.

Sun: Fire

I mean, she IS a burning ball of gas. Also, her arms are fire now!

Dusk: Dark/Ice or Dark/Fairy

Darkness just kind of fits with dusk. Also, it's usually dark around dusk (time of day) anyway. I couldn't decide the second type for her, and here's why. I chose ice because I remember elsie saying something about how she's connected to ice somehow, and it's usually cold around dusk (time of day). And fairy because dusk seems to be connected to them somehow...? I think?

Jessy: Grass/Fairy

I chose grass for jessy because he's made of wood! And, like, his wife has the fairy type, so why shouldn't he?

Clara: Grass/Steel

I chose grass for clara for the same reason as jessy and steel because of that sword they've got!

Abstraction Anon: Dark/Electric

Well, he lives in the cellar, which is VERY dark, and abstraction hurts. Guess what else hurts? LIGHTNING! /silly

Dialtone: Dark/Electric

Dialtone seems to be the kind of person who likes to sit in the dark. Also, he sleeps a lot. And he loves (old) phones and has phone cords, so electric just seemed right.

Alchemist: Poison/Bug

The poison part seems pretty obvious, and I chose bug because he's a tiny lil guy who I can probably crush under my shoe. (also mod bug ehehehe)

Helpful Anon: Flying

Helpful anon is just so... "helpful anon" that no other type seemed right.

Mix: Poison/Bug

Alcohol is a poison. Also, he's a butterfly now!

Kopi: Poison/Fighting

Kopi's got that weird pink goo that she shoots at people... ew... also, kopi has been described to be very strong!

AI Kopi: Steel/Bug

AI Kopi has those metal spider legs coming out of her back, so that works for steel AND bug! Also, she seems severely weakened, and bugs are notoriously weak.

D.R.U.N.K.I.E.: Steel/Electric

He's a robot (or more accurately, an ai that acts more like a robot than an ai)!

Drunkie: Normal/Poison

Again, alcohol is a poison! But other than that, he's just a normal guy!

Simp Anon & Lucy: Normal

They're just normal girls!

Chance: Fighting/Normal

She could probably beat someone up if she was really mad, but other than that, she's just a silly little girl with a silly little sandbag boyfriend!

Nightmare: Dark

Well, she's done a LOT of bad things, AND dark is, like, part of her theme and design.

Tophat: Dark

He's not AS bad as nightmare, but he's also done some pretty mean things. Also, he lives in a cave.

Aoki: Water/Ice

He lived in a forest where it constantly rained, he can probably summon rain/thunderclouds, and he... uh... does things with ice/cold. He can even control the temperature in a room!

Calypso: Normal

Welp, that's it for now!

She's just a silly little pillow person!

Thanks for reading all the way to the end! Have some cookies!
