EVERY MAJOR BIT FROM THE ALAN Q&A STREAM !!

holy SHIT dude that was so good

---

1) AVA 12 IS PLANNED FOR THIS SUMMER !!!!! (and! there's a possibility ava 13 might come out sooner as well, this year potentially too!)

2) aversus can be played by more than 2 people!

3) alan says that his character just happened to not be on the computer while avm s3 was happening. he usually leaves them to their shenanigans!

4) alan says that purple just happened to ? find a mac during their 7 year period post 2011 after they and their parents came out of their animation. (possibility that purple and their family mightve stayed in the internet for a while?)

5) the team has already made a decision about whether the dark lord is going to come back, but nonetheless — he will be seen in the upcoming video.

6) "the stickfigure site was animated by someone — it's not clear who, but one could theorize its been around for 7~ years before orange broke them out of it" — alan

7) green's socials will be revisited!

8) all of the cg potentially could be miku fans! red most likely more than the others. :)

9) alan could call tsc and tco long-lost brothers that just happened to not know each other — estranged siblings.

10) ava/m will go for as long as death does us part with alan, apparently

11) to alan, cg communicate more "telepatically" with each other. the text in influencer arc could be seen as green translating their communication to something the viewers could understand!

12) interpersonal cg relationships will be explored in the new minecraft season!

13) the mercenaries production names have been officially (although, perhaps by accident) dropped: lasco for primal (referencing the lascaux caves), eztoon for ballista, gui for agent, sign/pedestrian for hazard

14) hazard, corndog guy and red got they/themed. lol

15) cg doesn't have an official age, but they could be seen as teenagers-early 20s (thank god)

16) the abteam is considering minisodes proposed by the community! (such as proposed chosen & dark minisodes , rocketcorp slice of life)

17) alan thinks purple's birthday would be in february (no set date)

18) chosen will get more characterization in the future

19) some known artists in the community (such as anglermann, @sushiree, @flareboi, @cindersnows, @ , @ornziy, @itslilacokay, pasteldragon, @comyetani, realvegemite, @wretchedvictim, qr_png, hoodedjelly have been noticed on stream by the team !!! congrats !!! :D

— “ooh that's a nice one, i like that“ (hatena in response to @itslilacokay mercenary art)

https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1iR_QZLJip9WsbVVdlNhl-uhbFqtHa4ydajcILszdszI/mobilebasic <- the entire fanart compilation doc, made by novamations :)

20) when the pc turns off, the cube in the interspace goes dark, but stays there.

about what cg does when the pc turns off: "think of it as when the electricity goes out, it's black and cold, they cant use things anymore. they'd probably just sleep.”

21) mitsi will be seen in a future video

22) skim created corndog guy (and has apologized for it)

23) the team has been holding polls on whether the chat wants to see the dark lord, mitsi and gold come back — but said that they ultimately will decide on their fates.

24) king and purple ... were based on thanos.

25) confirmation that green likes udon noodles and listens to daft punk

26) alan says we could come up with little quirks for characters on our own (i.e. blue could be superstitious / be into astrology, yellow getting into rubics cubes)

27) alan thinks red might have adhd !!! :)

28) avchemistry might be real in the future, but it'll be tougher to execute since the person who was behind avmath and avcoding doesn't know chemistry.

29) ava 11 took over a year

30) ava 12 has all the storyboards done, and ava 13 is already in the works!

31) alan said that purple is "that friend that doesn't live at the house but comes over a lot"

32) name for mitsi stuck after the team reversed victim's name

33) alan is excited for the next avm season!

34) skim sees ava 12 and 13 as a two-part

35) its a possibility for new avm characters being introduced — ava as well, but unlikely they'll be major ones in the second instance

36) the team said that there are 4 minisodes in progress , and that hopefully they'll start to release them soon !!!!!

37) "how rich is corndog guy?"

"never rich enough. he's on that grindset"

38) when skim was asked who he related to the most he said it was victim because:

- more withdrawn and quiet

- carrying a weight with him

- prefers to occupy his mind with things hes good at

- not as naturally gloomy as youd expect from him

- struggles to connect with people but good at getting things done

goood LIRD !!!!

"The rumour goes" 1-2/3

Next ->

[couch-house]

wanted to play with how blaze would fit into stc, so I finally got around to watching a longplay of sonic rush. i hated it. the writing made me so mad. so here's a couple fleetway blaze doodles and a LOT of "here's how i would fix this story" doodles

[greenzilla4]

PURPLE??? Listen we gotta-

That's for valentines day

[bugtoast]

here's an unfinished W2MH AU comic that idk if im gonna finish. i thought it was cute though, and didn't wanna let it go to waste ^^

[plutonious]

TRYING THIS AGAIN. because my post got eaten I guess. anyways my power is out and I’m using @teethmongerrr’s freaking mttv on air to get through it. because gay people will save me. so take some of my yucky traditional doodles

transcript for the comic. under the cut.

Panel 1

Mtt: “I have a few different mics for you to choose from, if you want.”

Tenna: ‘Oh! Don’t worry about it, I got my mic covered.’

Panel 3

(Ta-da!)

Panel 4

Mtt: “Pff. . .”

Panel 5

Tenna: ‘W-what? Is it stupid?’

Mtt: “Nooo!”

Panel 6

Mtt: “That’s just. . . so you!”

Panel 7

Tenna: ‘Ahah. . . That makes sense! Haha. . .’

[riacte]

every time ren doesn’t get paired with false in a hermit ensemble fic post 2023 an angel loses its wings and 5 mins of twaddle gets added to the next falseren vod. i am so serious. their dynamic grew and changed during/after blue river raceway because dynamics can grow and change. your ren is ooc sorry.

genuinely if you erase false you erase at least 50% of ren’s characterisation and it’s the most important 50% because it’s the 50% that gets left behind in fanon characterisation. I wouldn’t be so mad if people thoughtfully characterised ren beyond making him a dramatic gay simp husband. his love for infrastructure, his cheek, his little shit behaviour, his determination, his sincerity, his way of playing for the team, his playfulness, his casual competitiveness, his insecurity which morphs into self sacrifice, the way he loves, the way he makes exceptions only for her. “what am i going to do without you” “teach me how to people”. ren’s hermitcraft isn’t ren’s hermitcraft without false. ren is ooc without any reference to false. he weaves her in his stories. she leaves fingerprints all over him and he provides her with the paint.

[ikkaku-of-heart]

Gods I fucking HATE going into the Heart Pirates tag and constantly seeing people post about how Law's crew "isn't there for fighting" and is just there for "emotional support." I don't even care if it's supposed to be a "joke" because frankly, I'm sick of seeing this shit. So I'm going to clear something up:

No crew, regardless of how strong their captain is, makes it to the New World if they aren't strong fighters.

Like, they don't just sit around on the ship and let Law do the hard work all the time. There is canon proof they can hold their own. They fought alongside the Mink Tribe when the Beast Pirates attacked Zou. They fought the Beast Pirates during the Raid on Onigashima. We saw they employ clever underwater tactics and hold their own against the like of fucking BLACKBEARD. You know, the guy who's one of the major villains of the whole series? Losing to him doesn't fucking make them weak. They lost because the guy is designed to be basically unbeatable by anyone but the main heroes.

Honestly. We've seen the Heart Pirates fight about as much as the Kid Pirates, and I don't see people claiming Kid's crew are "weak" and "just there for emotional support." Both these crews are strong and willing to fight, kill, and die for the sake of their captains.

I'm all for making a joke. I can genuinely laugh at the silly posts and memes. But when 90% of the posts about them are like this, it's clear people aren't telling a joke - they see them as a joke. Because it seems like nobody talks about them as a legit pirate crew to a powerful pirate captain. Characters can be powerful and badass AND strike goofy poses and be affectionate to their captain. It's what makes them interesting. The fandom really needs to realize that.

Question. Since you've confirmed that we will be meeting Survivor, Monk, Gourmand and be reintroduced to Hunter in act 2, will they be open to asks or partake in asks for Marbles?

Also can you draw Marbles saying "Nah, I'd win" before getting killed by a king vulture? (I need this please I am suffering from the final stage to lobotomy kaisen)

Yes! In time, you'll be allowed to send asks to Artificer (after she and Marbles leave the Metropolis, but that may not happen for a while because I'm slow and I can only submit one fully drawn response a week). Though I may as well put this warning out now - she is veeeery foul-mouthed. A lot of asks addressed to Arti will likely have mature content labels put on it, but remember not to take it personally (what she says doesn't necessarily represent what I as an author believe in), and also respect warnings I put in the tags. Please keep in mind that all responses are done in-character unless tagged with #ooc or after double slash //.

Then, when Act 2 begins - Hunter will also be open for asks.

As for Gourm, Surv, and Monk - in my AU they are meant to be background characters, and I didn't really plan for them to accept asks, so for now my response to that is maybe, but tilting slightly towards no. We will see nearer the time.

I know it's said in jest, but... I won't draw my poor blorbo Marbles getting killed, sorry Anon :c If I could clone myself to to draw quicker and post more often - I would. Alas, I'm only one person...

[concept] ayano trying to “matchmake” (arrest) mida rana

Ayano: Trust me, this will benefit all of us. Akademi gets one less predator and we get known for ‘bringing justice’.

Ayano: All you have to do is ask her for extra tutoring after school, and hide this audio recorder in your bag.

Toga: Right…

Ayano: …

Ayano: I’ve also seen her getting a bit too personal with some of the underclassmen…

Toga: Huh?

Ayano: Hazu didn’t look too comfortable with her putting her hands all over his face…

Toga: You mean…

Toga: Dammit. Fine, ill do it..

Ayano: Really?

Toga: Really. You should’ve mentioned that you’ve actually witnessed her doing something sooner, you know?

Ayano: Mhm..

Ayano: We’ll do it tomorrow, I’ll tell you the details after class.
