Quick reblog cuz i posted this late earlier-

Role swap re au anyone?

Jk, but since I drew Corrupted Starstrike, I figured why not draw a Purified Darkstrike. So I drew them together. Starstrike's colors are different but tbh, i like this version of Corrupted Starstrike better than my original one.

A concept i started thinking about, actually a while ago was: what if wither shards could be purified? I finally came back to that and developed it more.

Basic idea is, yes wither shards can be purified, but it takes an immense amount of concentrated positive star power, and at first, it's a very fragile balance. Depending on whichever type of star power it stays exposed to after being nullified, it'll absorb that and either purify or revert.

Or my way of saying, i want Darkstrike to join the fam somehow and not make themself or Starstrike sick by being in close proximity with them.

I am calling the purified wither shards Bloom Crystals. Bloom Crystals are incredibly rare, even rarer than wither shards because not many get to a point of becoming purified. Not many know they can be purified, or have heard about it, but call it a myth. Wither shards generate high concentrations of negative energy, but Bloom Shards do the opposite, and generate tons of positive energy. It allows for the dimension to thrive and even can extend their life spans. Not infinitely, but by a large margin.

I don't want Darkstrike to be a one and done deal, so i will, at some point, include the Creator arc. I've also been writing out concepts again, but i won't be posting those because of how spoilery they are. I'll just say i've been writing concepts from Nova's arc and Icarus' arc for ideas i've been really wanting to write out. Progress is being made, just slowly lol

So... i've had some ideas..

And yes it has to do with Starstrike and Darkstrike.

They will not leave my mind lol

This is a wip.

[brightsstar]

So, umm... Will there be any updates for Flickering Star in a Hopeless Sky?

At some point, yes. I'm just more into Secret of The Mimic right now. I won't give up on any of my stories, i just don't want to focus on too many projects at once.

[brightsstar]

Slightly updated OMC. He's a bit more accurate now and i changed the mark to be horizontal.

Forgive the fishing pole, first time i've drawn one-

[brightsstar]

Okay so i have another au that i started working on, based on a theory i saw recently, which is This Theory

Not only did this spark this au idea, but it also finally got me to make an Old Man Consequences design.

Warnings: below, it talks about dead bodies and blood, so be wary of that.

I took inspo from both Monty and Edwin. His hair is supposed to look like Edwin's, and he has Edwin's glasses, but i did this from memory, so the hair style may change as well as the glasses frame shape. I also added the MCM logo to him where Monty would have his lightning mark. OMC is also a crocodile instead of a gator though. Wanted to differentiate him from how I draw Monty. The designs could still use work and i am very out of practice with how i draw the animal based animatronics since i've put so much time into drawing the Daycare Attendant design, so i'm practicing with the animals again.

The name of this AU is "Strings to An End". It heavily utilizes what was said in the theory linked above, so i recommend giving it a watch if you haven't seen it. It's pretty good in all honesty. Also because i'm gonna be talking about it below and it may not make complete sense without the context.

I've worked on mini aus with Jackie in the Pizzaplex era. I've also utilized some ideas from my very, very old fnaf aus, as well as The Silver Eyes trilogy, Freddy and Jackie Show, the Movie, and things from SoTM. All of these combined to make this au.

First, this au is not meant to follow canon. It's been purely inspired by this theory, which in turn is not canon unless confirmed in some way.

Starting off for this, Jackie is possessed. She is possessed by one of the technicians that went in before Arnold. A female one. I know that's pretty inaccurate for the times, but in all honesty, the fnaf universe as a whole is way ahead of its' time too. Instead of this technician being stuffed into one of the mascot suits like the others around the place, M2 stuffed her into Jackie, while she was still alive. She died in the animatronic and possessed it. For this universe, she is the first case of confirmed animatronic possession that Fazbear got a hold of, and that is important. She was used as the base for a lot of their remnant/soul exploration research after she was recovered from the manor.

She also watched as Mimic used her suit to chase Arnold and couldn't do anything about it as she had not gotten the hang of the animatronic body yet. When M2 used Jackie, he took her original body out of the suit to make room. (He kinda forgot or wasn't thinking about the fact he stuffed a human in there already, he was too focused on trying to get Arnold)

Jackie was recovered in the aftermath after Arnold escaped. Once they found out the suit was possessed, they began to study her and took extra measures to trap her soul and make sure she couldn't leave very easily. She was moved to a chip though, that way they could use her if they planned to bring out the Jackie character in the future, which they do for the Pizzaplex.

David is also still hanging around. He's attached to his White Tiger plushy, which was also recovered from the Manor. William kept it though, as a trophy. He was the one who killed David here, but wasn't able to get something from him until after gaining access to the Manor. William also had an animatronic designed after the plushy, Tiger Rock. Also an animatronic who wasn't utilized until the Pizzaplex.

Before William died, he took good care of his trophies. However, after he died, they deteriorate since nobody takes care of them anymore. They're left to rot. The tiger plushy deteriorates the fastest given how old it is and how well loved it was by David, and it was not a suitable vessel for David anymore so he moved his soul into Tiger Rock. (Mimic is not Tiger Rock in this au)

Since so much pain and suffering took place on that one area of land, and with the sinkhole problems burying the old stuff like the manor, the ffps pizzeria (possibly the older pizzerias too if they were also built here), and now working on sinking the pizzaplex, there is a ton of agony condensed within the lower spaces. Basically, the land is cursed. I call this either the Fazbear Curse or the Afton Curse. The land is heavily tainted. Agony's in everything. It's hardly noticeable on the surface level, but if one ventures deeper, it gets much stronger. Enough to a point where a person will be in pure agony just standing in it. (Like the excruciating pain kind of agony, mentally and physically). It's like a massive black fog, and it oozes down walls. At it's deepest points, it is literally a black goopy substance. Pools of it, that could become a lake, the more condensed it gets. And more agony keeps going into it thanks to Vanny currently. Even if someone survived long enough to get down to the pools, it's like acid, but nobody could get that close even if they tried.

Another soul trapped similarly to them, is Fiona. As well as Edwin, but this part will focus on Fiona.

Since Fiona is wired into everything with the MXES/F10-N4 machine, as well as buried underneath everything to keep her hidden, and has been there the longest, she had been exposed to the agony the longest. This is where the theory above plays into this. Fiona's been corrupted by the agony over time, but since her one goal had always been to "fix" her family, it's now become a very twisted version of that. And she has one of them already. Edwin. She has Edwin's soul trapped in the same machine she is in. She's trying to get David's too.

Edwin's taken the form of Old Man Consequences, and he has tried pleading with Fiona to let go so they could be free and rest, but she refuses to. Edwin is also so full of regret and remorse that he unintentionally generates agony that Fiona absorbs. He has tried reaching into some places he can, like UCN and FNaF World to help some more stubborn souls move on. He does try to help despite his own struggles. He is also present in the Princess Quest games as the Old Man. The theory above goes more into depth on this. He helped Vanessa get free of Vanny, and he tried getting the more restless souls to move on, even if he has not succeeded.

Back to Jackie and Tiger Rock though cuz they are the main focus of the au here. In the years they were kept in storage before being repurposed for the Pizzaplex, they know about the agony that has been slowly taking over the land, they can feel it, since they are also spirits. With Henry, and William dead, and Edwin trapped, they've taken it upon themselves to try ending it all and making sure that Fazbear can't come back from it, and can't rebuild in that place ever again. They're some of the only ones left from the early times of Fazbear, and know just how much pain they've caused and continue causing.

Jackie and Tiger Rock work very closely with one another to make sure things go smoothly. They also won't be letting go until they are absolutely sure they've done everything they set out to do and make sure it sticks. They will be sure not to fail like Henry did when he tried putting everyone to rest.

That's about it for the au. Again, it isn't canon and was purely inspired by this theory video. I also have Jackie as a focus because she is one of my favorite characters and i want more stuff with her, so i'm throwing this to the wind. It's called Strings to an End because it's a play on the phrase Means to an End. Fiona's connected to everything via wires, which control everything like puppet strings (and she was a puppeteer too..). The end goal is to free the last of those trapped, and put an end to Fazbear as a whole, permanently.

This idea has been nibbling at me, and idk if i'll do a lot with it, but i'm kinda on a roll rn lol

[brightsstar]

Decided to name this au the Mother's Guidance AU.

Sotm au idea where David didn't die, but since Edwin is in such a bad mental state, mostly the animatronics look after David when he can't.

A good amount of my headcanons are going into this, so don't consider things here to be entirely related to canon. A lot of it is my takes on characters as well as just my typical desire to make a fix-it type au.

Warnings: this does mention depression.

Since David doesn't die, there was no need to make M2, and M1 is possessed by the actual Fiona. Employee count is still none, MCM is still hurdling to bankruptcy, William is still changing things up for the Fazbear Project to sabotage Edwin, even though Edwin is entirely burnt out and lost his desire to work on his ideas due to him grieving for Fiona still and the stress of losing all his employees atop other issues.

Still kinda keeping the bad parent thing with Edwin, but in a way where Edwin is just too overwhelmed by a bunch of stuff to do what he needs to (also battling depression)

M1 made an animatronic shell resembling Fiona to wear most of the time (also because i cannot draw sotm Mimic for the life of me). She splits her time in trying to help Edwin as well as the animatronics and David. She is somewhat versed in the animatronic repairs since, still being a Mimic, she can learn just from observing. Before Edwin got as bad as he had, she learned some stuff from watching him work. She enlists some help from the animatronics to finish the Fazbear Project for Edwin since he can't in his current state, and they're getting desperate. M1 also just wants Edwin to have some money so he can stay afloat for a while, and she could put in some more time to try helping Edwin get the help he needs.

Given how advanced Edwin's programming capabilities are, the animatronics are basically sentient, with their personalities still programmed into them. They are capable of making decisions for themselves, assessing situations, and feeling emotions. However, Jackie and Dollie were confined to their places at first. M1 uses what she learned from Edwin to change that, freeing Dollie from her track, and getting legs for Jackie. It took some time since she was juggling a lot of things, and even while she was stressed out, she recognized that all of this needed done to move forward with helping Edwin.

In that meantime though, Jackie often babysat David. She did her best to keep him entertained, but David had plenty of bad days himself. He misses his mom, and doesn't know she's still present in M1. He misses Edwin too since Edwin kept himself shut in the house, and David often went with M1 to the factory so he could be supervised by either her, or one of the animatronics, most often Jackie since she is in one of the safest places in the manor. David often sat against Jackie's box on his bad days, holding his white tiger, and crying while Jackie comforts him. Big Top also watches David sometimes and lets him play the games in his showroom.

Speaking of Big Top, he's one of the animatronics that helped the most with the Fazbear Project's completion, along with Dollie for a while before M1 finally gave Jackie legs, so Jackie could also help more. While it's difficult for Big Top to get around, the fact he also has extendable parts allows him to squeeze into some places he normally wouldn't fit. That's not to say he doesn't cause some damage though, he does, but it's rarely major and mostly cosmetic.

Not fully sure yet where i'm going with this au, but i know at some point, i want Edwin to at least have moved past his grief. He could probably end up becoming a competitor to Fazbear Ent tbh. He wouldn't have enough money to retire on so he'd have to build the company back up or find new work, but due to his passion for what he does, i think he would choose his company to keep working on. Perhaps repurpose his animatronics for his own children's attraction. He might go after some of the people who stole his and Fiona's work in a legal pursuit.

I know that Edwin isn't a great father in the lore, but compared to William, Edwin was a good parent. Not a good parent overall, but way better than William was. I don't think Edwin deserved what he got. That's why i decided to make an au like this. Not sure how far i'll get with it though.

I'd love to draw things in a comic form, but i may end up writing things instead. Just k8nda working on the characters for now.

I'm.. behind on EAPS, i've had a difficult time trying to watch it since they made the announcement that it's ending, but i'm not happy with how it seems to be ending based on the video titles, thumbnails, and what i've seen people saying when i check the tag. I honestly want them to have a happy ending, but it's not looking like that's happening and i'm really upset about it.

I also did begin watching the Freddy and Jackie Show, and i really enjoy it too tbh but i may go inactive again due to that because i know not many people will care if i post stuff about it.

I just want Eclipse to have a happy ending... he's been through enough and even after all of this, it just seems to hammer in that caring hurts, and i worry that Eclipse will go back to how he was before. Henry's dead, Jake was taken, i don't even know what's happening with Eclipse after he was captured yet, but it isn't looking good, and i'm immensely upset about that..

If he got a happy ending, i can rest easy knowing that even if we can no longer see his day to day life, he will probably be okay, but it's not looking like that's what's happening

[brightsstar]

So uh.. alongside the corrupted version of Starstrike, here is the bad ending written out. Mind the tags, this fic is quite dark.

I was skeptical about sharing it for a while, but since i went and drew Corrupted Starstrike, it reminded me of this so i decided to finally share it.

It gives a bit of a glimpse into Darkstrike's character too!

[brightsstar]

Corrupted Starstrike

I haven't gotten anything done for art fight this year sadly thanks to that disaster we had earlier in the month. It destroyed my motivation to do it so i've done some things more for myself.

I may play around with this Starstrike's colors a bit more cuz i'm not entirely satisfied with these colors. Took me ages to figure out how i wanted this version to look. It's.. roughly there.

Now some little facts: C! Starstrike is very weak and very sick, although the corruption isn't allowing them to feel it just yet. They're still somewhat "healthy" in this phase, but their positive star power is being suffocated and consumed by the negative star power. There is still some that is usable and it's visible here.

I know in my usual art pieces of them, it's difficult to see, but Starstrike also has a neckbind that looks like their star form. The fact their neckband and belt are shiny kinda hide the glow. Here, it is very visible because the shine is much duller (forgot to add that here-), and the glow is much weaker.

They also don't have the rings around their chest anymore because they're getting weaker.

[brightsstar]

I am.. genuinely very distraught that Eaps is ending very soon. It's been my favorite show since it started. I don't watch SAMS much anymore except the episodes that were crossover parts for Eaps and Sams. I don't see myself going back to Sams either. And i've missed so much now that it'd be a real pain to catch up again (over 6 months of missed content by now). I'd been throwing around the idea of starting to watch the Freddy and Jackie Show for about a week or so, since i'm pretty much obsessed with Jackie right now, and before the Daycare Attendant, Freddy was my favorite fnaf character. Maybe it was a premonition of some kind..

I'm gonna miss EAPS so much, but i wish Davis and Flora the best with their future projects.

[brightsstar]

I swear i am never drawing detailed braids again-

Working on a ref for spinoff au Jackie.

These braids were redone so many times-

Yes she has a similar design to the Daycare Attendant Models. It's what Eclipse had to work with when he fixed her since the parts he had available were originally just meant for himself.

New experimental fic, exploring the alternate directions of the RE AU

[brightsstar]

July just seems to be a bad month for me these days. I haven't managed to get much stuff done for art fight like i was hoping because our house got partially flooded over the weekend. It's going to be very hectic here for the next couple months if not longer. My room was part of the affected areas and i have no bed now. At least not till they finish because the damage was bad enough that my room, plus my sibling's room need entirely rebuilt. It wasn't a major flood, but the pipe on one of the toilets that goes into the tank blew off and flooded the hallway before we finally got it turned off. I had to stand in the bathtub (in ground bathtub) keeping that pipe facing it till the water was shut off competely, but it did so much damage that i can't use my room for a while till it's finished.

On top of that, tomorrow is the one year anniversary of my cat Sabi's passing, and that's hard enough to think about. Vickie also passed away just 4 days after Sabi did. The one good thing that came out from that month last year was me getting together with my partner, who i love dearly. And now this mess happens.

This month has just not been a good month for me these past couple years..

[brightsstar]

I decided to put Jackie in one of my RE spin off aus. I have a few different versions of the story that i've made, but haven't shared much of.

The one i put Jackie in was one where Eclipse did not go back to the Celestial Family, but after repairing himself to the best of his ability, he moved away from the pizzaplex to start over. He lives in a smaller town and helps run a small daycare to help himself learn how to better control his temper. Starstrike is still basically the same, and even takes over for Eclipse when he needs breaks. They come out a lot more often in this version than the main au. I put Jackie in this one. Eclipse finds her and fixes her. He also gives her legs and she now helps him with the daycare too. He upgraded her design as well since her old body was so outdated that he couldn't work with it.

Now i do have a question. Do people want to see the spinoff versions of the main RE Au?

[brightsstar]

I haven't figured out what pattern i want to put on Jackie's pants yet, but here she is with her upgraded look after Eclipse finishes working on her.

Some spinoff au info is that Jackie takes on a similar role to Dusk where she helps prevent Eclipse from having his nightmares. However, she also has nightmares thanks to what Mimic did to her. Eclipse helps her with hers as well.

She also knows what Eclipse did, but she cheers him on as he gets better and better.

(Her hair is still braided, but i do not feel like adding those details rn)
