Doing Luminswap stuff in this style cuz a comic would be too much work TwT

Story:

Quasar and Nebula were twin orphaned skeletons who didn’t have anyone but each other. Quasar worked as a street cleaner but barely made any money, so Nebula turned to mugging and stealing to support them, soon forming a gang of sorts. Quasar quickly found out about this and begged Nebula to stop, but they needed the money to survive and Nebula refused. Quasar felt awful that he couldn’t take care of his brother and couldn’t stop him from hurting others, blaming himself for everything. Tensions between the two continued to rise as Quasar grew more depressed and Nebula more bitter.

One day while escaping from Royal Guards, Nebula stumbled across a huge tree filled with golden apples and guarded by a massive dragon. According to local legend, the apples granted unimaginable power to those who ate them, but the sacred dragon only gave them to those it thought deserving. Overcome by greed, Nebula brought both Quasar and a young Guard named Filigree to the cave, telling them that the dragon had been ravaging the local villages and needed to be killed immediately. Despite Quasar immediately seeing through his brother’s lie and warning Filigree, the young Guard was so desperate to prove himself that he slayed the dragon without hesitation. In addition to being very illegal, the slaying of a dragon imbues the slayer with the dragon’s magic and soul, forever scarring them with scales.

While Quasar was trying to help Filigree as he painfully sprouted scales and fangs, Nebula took the opportunity to start eating the apples. While shadowy veins began to curl across his bones, the full effect of the magic hadn’t taken place when a group of Royal Guards rushed into the scene. Barely managing to hide the tree and remaining 50% of apples before being taken away, the twins had a shouting match mid-arrest as Nebula found out that Quasar had been the one to call the Guards, both claiming that their actions were for the sake of the other and that they were betraying them. Nebula was taken to the Royal jail, Filigree to a doctor, and Quasar was allowed to leave.

When they discovered that Nebula was the leader of the gang that was the source of much of the Kingdom’s crime in addition to being responsible for the murder of a dragon and Filigree’s scarring, The King sentenced Nebula to death. Upon finding this out, Quasar was absolutely distraught, unable to eat or sleep for days. Upon being beheaded, the magic from eating the apples exploded out of Nebula, turning him into a shadowy beast covered with spindly tentacles and uncountable eyes. Nobody knows what exactly happened afterwards, only that Nebula fled into the forest with the axe used to kill him and covered in blood, the King, Captain of the Guard, and anyone else present never to be seen again.

Nebula was immediately accused of murdering the King and Captain and hunted by Guards. Managing to contain the overflowing magic and revert to a somewhat normal form, Nebula ran to the only place he thought was safe, he and Quasar’s house. Quasar, upon hearing of the murder his brother was accused of and finding Nebula on his doorstep covered in blood and head reattached, freaked out quite a lot. Nebula, extremely traumatized and upset, accused Quasar about not caring about him, second shouting match ensued, and Nebula ran away after disowning his brother. Quasar understandably loses his shit and eats the other 50% of the apples, turning into owl jester man and joining the King’s son Aster and Filigree as they try to fix the Kingdom and also catch Nebula. Nebula befriends Lark, a doctor gathering rare ingredients to cure Filigree, and Abyss, a dark priest. Chaos ensues.

Folktale:

(The rumor that the public says)

There once were two twins, one a shadowy trickster named Nebula. Out of greed for the legendary golden apples, he tricked his brother and a brave knight into killing the dragon that guarded them, taking all the apples for himself. After killing the other two, he attempted to flee the scene before being caught by the guards and executed. Because of all the dark magic, though, he transformed into a beast instead of dying and murdered the King, Captain, and anyone near before escaping into the woods. He now lurks in the shadows, devouring any human or monster that strays too far into the forest.

You’ve met Gaster!Sans, but what about Sans!Gaster

This is Castor, he’s from Luminswap but is also an outcode who can travel between AUs & Multiverses.

They’re a powerful mage and force of chaos who grants wishes in the funniest way possible

Do not give him access to any personal information, whoopie cushions, rubber chickens, or ancient magical artifacts he will abuse them greatly

[neverniko101]

(Another Luminswap fella and Castor’s counterpart)

(They’re Color & Classic swapped)

[neverniko101]

Grabs quasar like this /aff

He squeaks like a dog toy when squeezed

[neverniko101]

Niko, mayhaps I gift Quasar a chibi version of my fella?

(It is kinda like a stray cat with new people- as long as Quasar gives it food and a bit to adjust they won’t cause too much havoc)

Okay chat so if you haven’t already noticed I am an extremely hyperactive person especially when it comes to art so I tend to take on more projects than I can handle. In an effort to prevent burnout, I’m limiting myself to three solo utmv projects at a time!!! And!!!!!!!!! I have no idea which project to focus on so I’m asking y’all’s opinion

Commissions

—

Absolutely zero NSFW, racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, LGBTQ+ hate, or general unkindness.

I am a minor.

I’m not comfortable with most ships considered “proship,” including involving any form of incest, nonconsensual sexual/romantic actions, or large age gaps. This includes but is not limited to Fontcest, Dreammare, and Frans. This means please don’t tag/mention me in any of this content, use any of my characters in this content, or generally involve me in it; I consider all of this content 18+ and should be treated as such. I will not block people exclusively based on “proship or antiship,” but on my personal opinion on them and whether or not they make me uncomfortable. Harassing people based on fictional ships is not okay, and neither is exposing others (especially minors) to sensitive/inappropriate content.

can you tell that I am sick and tired of this discourse.

Additionally, the above only applies to fictional ships. Any irl instances of incest, extreme age gaps, nonconsensual romantic/sexual content, abuse, or any related topics is of course absolutely awful.

I’m sorry for the serious stuff btw, this is generally a lighthearted and silly blog— just wanted to set clear boundaries^^
