CW! Horror Elements and an instance of swearing. <3

Coming in clutch at the very last second, huh?

Shiloh's back for another round, looking a little different than they did in the first event. In more ways than one, it seems...

Oh, bother. The glitch was originally a gif, but it would appear that the file is too large. This will do. <3

The last, official installment of The Bootleg Parable's original narrative was uploaded March 17 of 2024. It's safe to say that the story has been inactive for a touch more than a year by positively no intention. The prologue has been in the works for months- a very on and off progress between life and motivation. Many proofreads, revisions, and retakes, and in the end, the parts of the prologue that were rushed are still visible. But we are proud to have gotten as far as we did, and to finally have a starting point to present after all of this time.

That being said,

The prologue releases today. :-) April 27, 2024.

Do you remember, The twenty-first night of September? Love was changin' the minds of pretenders, while chasin' the clouds away! Our hearts were ringin' in the key that our souls were singin'. As we danced in the night, remember, how the stars stole the night away! Hey, hey, hey! Ba-dee-ya! Say, do you remember? Ba-dee-ya! Dancin' in September? Ba-dee-ya! Never was a cloudy day! Ba-du, ba-du, ba-du, ba-du! Ba-du, ba-du, ba-du, ba-du! Ba-du, ba-du, ba-du-da! Ba-du, yeah!

kk, tsp fandom hand over your narrators personal information >:3

Reference sheet is optional and if your narrator happens to not have a specific age that's fine too!

I'll link everything on there too so preferably, links to your references if you do hand in one!

A LINK!/ref to the excel sheet

Okay I've seen some people be confused on why they can't edit the file, Yes no one has permission to edit it other than me, simply to avoid this thing getting junk written on it or eventually thing getting deleted, whether it's on accident or not. It's a precaution

[bootleg-parable]

Zefurr would like hugs!

(Art by my sister, @mainecooniumx3)

Hugs make everything better!

Teller has never seen anyone like you before, but you're very cute and fluffy, so needless to say, he likes you. <3

Aftermath of this interaction.

@deeblewithazee

OC beef with mutuals is so very amusing.

[bootleg-parable]

What an...awful month, it's been. We apologise for our majourity silence. We really do. But doing much of anything while working has been incredibly hard as of late. We're trying to get back into the swing of things and push pass terrible losses. We appreciate your patience.

Have a mass sketch post from newest to oldest.

Get a grip, you two.

Mandatory horse posting.

OP appearance.

Finally.

Drawings of Sellen done by @mochieevee , her creator.

Ready for the big reveal?

Logo. ✨

Oop. There he goes.

"Stanlei, you need to stop leaving things around on the ground...I swear, you're trying to kill me or someth---"

Orion with the slightest redesign!

The poor old man was having a rough day.

Evandor, before everything went horrifically wrong. Look at him, he's smiling!

[bootleg-parable]

"Do you hear anything?"

Original image of reference :

These two would go perfectly in a B&W sitcom, wouldn't you agree?

[bootleg-parable]

Paratober continued! Let's get straight into it.

Day 7, Copyrig--

Day 8, 8. Who better to illustrate than our main antagonist of The Bootleg Parable?

Day 10, free prompt! Evandor and Stanlei, being the best of pals.

Day 12, new! Say hello to Stanley and Narry, base-game! These are the last ones we make, we swear. Sort of.

Day, 15. Quiet.

User wished that he could vanish into the very wall that he was pressed against, feeling its cold, hard surface against his back and wanting nothing more than for it all to fall out from behind him. To hide him in its devastation. Tears were in his eyes, all of fear and hopelessness. He couldn't keep running. He was going to die here, and the worst part was, he had no idea where Teller was- if Teller was even present within the building or in life.

User was totally alone, with nowhere to go and nobody to go to.

"Sweet dreams are made of these~..."

That eerie lulling was back. User shuffled backward quickly, as quietly as he could, and forced his mouth into his hand, fighting down any sound or sob that bubbled up within him.

"Who am I to disagree~?"

He could hear the dragging of the foe's fabrics, each a pull of an invisible leg that helped it to glide effortlessly across the ground. That vibrant, yellow glow was spreading across the nearby floor, and soon enough, along came two, blinding arrows, just barely highlighting User's figure from behind the wall. His eyes began to water again.

"I travel the world and the seven seas..."

It stopped. Its head turned. User held his breath.

I'm not here. I'm not here. I'm.... God, where am I...

The shuffling soon continued, and it sauntered down the hall with the trailing singing of the beast. Its figure, illuminated in yellow, gradually vanished around a corner.

"Everybody's looking for something..."

User could've sworn his heart stopped. The room was spinning. His head was reeling.

Oh, right. Air.

He let go of the breath that he was holding to take in another one, still minding his volume despite his overwhelming relief and remaining strands of lingering panic. Good. It was gone, but it wouldn't be gone for long. He needed to get as far away from these halls as possible. But maybe...without sprinting, this time.

Totally unrelated doodles, we just find them it amusing.

[bootleg-parable]

A couple of collective parable doodles!

Sellen taking care of poor old Orion. If we can't be healthy, neither can he.

He can't stand her.

User and Teller: as kids!

The problem child.

Doodle Dump ~☆

Good afternoon, ellerDways of umblrTay.

We have sorted a few plots for TBP's rewrite behind the scenes, but until the first chapter is in full release, have a few drawings to keep this blog active. <3

Let's start with our protagonist's suffering. This is a redraw!

Original.

Oh, no. A certain duo appear to have gotten rather...Lovesick.

Let's hope that Orion and Evandor haven't already been infected.

He might not be able to see himself, but that does not distract from the fact that he hates wearing his glasses- even more so to be seen in them.

@mochieevee ! Start a reblog thread with us, AND OUR LIFE IS YOURS

Fun fact! Orion's parents have curly hair. So without all of that styling, so would he.

Uh oh. Orion lore.

[bootleg-parable]

Day 3, July 11, Hotel.

There's only two beds in the hotel room, so the group had to make the most of it. Teller and User obviously had no plight over this arrangement. Orion and Evandor, however...

Let's just say that Orion's issue does not lie with poor old Evandor.

Bonus, a silly doodle from the sketch of the full illustration: Ignore Teller's eyes, we use them as placeholders.
