This is exactly what I was wondering, thank you!

The Hobbit comparison is brilliant for simplicity. By my question I meant it as in (still using the Hobbit example) "is it all still happening within the concept of the stories of Middle Earth and its surroundings? Or is Tolkien over with that?"

I've always found Mothy's drive to expand and keep expanding his project (in so many directions but still circling back somehow, even with just a name) very admirable even when it's confusing and riddling to many (as in, this has been going for almost 20 years old since the start of it, I would've dropped it after a third year! Props for consistency!)

Thank you for your answer!

You're welcome! Continuing with the Tolkien metaphor--he's done with the concept of the Middle Earth we're familiar with, but exploring other "what-if" versions of Middle Earth via Gandalf using his magic to transport to parallel worlds where events occurred slightly differently and now it's Bilbo instead of Frodo going to Mount Doom, but Gandalf's only there to sample the different versions of pipe-weed and doesn't give a shit about whatever's going on over there with the other Bilbo

Unhelpful diagram I made just now to help illustrate how everything connects together :)

Hi! Every now and then I remember Mothy and the brilliant long-run storytelling that is TEC, but I always have something come up that kind of pushes away my going down the rabbit hole for updates.

I just got one of those random notifications tumblr sometimes sends when a blog uploads after a while of inactivity, and it was yours. And I have one question, because at this point I'm genuinely so lost. Are the Evillious Chronicles over? I ask this in the sense of "has Mothy ended that and started a new Chronicle?". I read on the pinned post you have that there's an Ending (as in, literally a section called Ending" but it's not very detailed and to me it reads confusingly, but that might be because I'm out of the loop as of now still). So I guess I'm asking whether the songs he's been making say, since 2020 (to give you a random closer year to present) are still connected to Evillious?

Short answer: It's a new storyline and isn't directly connected to Evillious.

Long answer: So yknow how like The Hobbit is a self-contained story and The Lord of the Rings is a self-contained story but they share the same setting, some characters, and some themes, but you don't need to read one to understand the other? It's like that.

Longer answer: So at this point I'd say mothy has these main "arcs" going on (in order of release for the most part): The Daughter of Evil, Deadly Sins of Evil, Original Sin Story, Torture Tower Doesn't Sleep, and E.A.T. There's also his smaller collection which I like to call "fourth period bullshit" (where the Unlock City and Story of Evil novels go). The Daughter of Evil and Deadly Sins of Evil both take place in the same Evillious setting, with Original Sin Story being the origin story of it all. For a while it was assumed Torture Tower Doesn't Sleep was its own thing with loose references to the Evillious setting for funsies, until we got a throwaway line in a more recent publication indicating it was a parallel universe.

The main story of the Evillious setting (aka the Third Period) ended with the release of master of the heavenly yard. All the big arcs established with all that worldbuilding since 2007/8-ish has wrapped up. Since then mothy's gone back and did the Original Sin Story novels, fleshing out that backstory. He's also indicated he would like to do more focusing on the stories of the Three Heroes from the Daughter of Evil series sometime, but hasn't done so yet. E.A.T is a series he's been working on focusing on Banica's exploits after master of the heavenly yard, but because the story focuses on Banica & the rest of the graveyard ending crew traveling to parallel worlds it doesn't change anything we know about the main Evillious setting and story. Because multiverse bullshit there are parallel characters to the Evillious characters we know (this is a plot point), with one of the most obvious being Sister Clarith from the eponymous song Sister Clarith's Curious Night. Some other characters have also been revealed to be travelling the parallel worlds as well as of Atelier Horloge ;)

tl;dr: Main Evillious story is over. The story of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Third Period has wrapped up with a pretty bow. Banica however is too badass to be contained to one franchise and has gone off to create her own by hopping between parallel worlds. mothy is also planning on continuing to fill in some backstory and timeline gaps for some of his other special blorbos. You're not missing any critical information or major twists from the Evillious story as a whole by not reading this content though.

Aw, I didn't realize. Oh well--would have been neat but I suppose it makes more sense than being Kayo.

.

While we're on this topic of collectibles though it does remind me of something else I found recently while I've been combing through mothy's blog. I mean you guys'll see it when I post the next update but apparently mothy had a very brief tie-in with Bangusetsu (a retro Japanese gaming company, though I guess they're defunct now) to release a figurine for Desert Bluebird (I'm guessing they made the "tank RPG" that partially inspired the song? I still don't know which one he's referring to).

Anyway, I don't think it's really related to Evillious but it's cute, it just has the twins in the car from the song but they've crashed into a tree. The promotional site isn't around anymore but I did find some images of it on archive.org [here]
