Cursor Fauna HC
Tumblr media
Weird mix of bugs seals snails frogs and i dunno birds? Probably lobsters too.
Tumblr media
They start out as cell-like eggs with a thin slit. The liquid inside is too thick to get out through the slit, and the opening allows the larva inside to absorb data from the enviroment. The data it absorbs while inside the egg will greatly impact how it develops later on.
Over time the liquid will begin to thin, while a skin-like shell develops over the larva. Once the shell is thick enough, the larva will exit the egg through the slit.
A young cursor's shell is not completely hard, but it is very difficult to pierce through from the outside.
Cursors have no internal organs or bones, without their shells they are very similar to a water balloon. When they molt they become very vulnerable so it only happens a couple times over their lifetime. Of course, if their shell becomes too damaged they may molt anyway, but they can usually repair their shell without molting.
Tumblr media
Cursors have exactly 3 main features. Their mouth is self explanatory. Their wings aid in flying and general movement and while they don't always move in the process, cursors with damaged or missing wings will have slower movements and/or be unable to fly.
Their tail aids in collection of data from the enviroment. Not as a feeding method unlike during the egg phase but as a way to examine their surroundings. Their tail is their main sensing organ, and without it they are rendered deaf and colorblind.
Tumblr media
Cursors occupy most outernet habitats, and their sizes vary greatly. Depending on their enviroment they may adopt odd features.
The image above pictures an aquatic cursor, a moutain cursor and a cavern cursor.

honestly i can see there being a bit of it. like just a little. it would depend on if he views his cursor as himself or part of him, which considering what au this is, i wouldn't be surprised if he did. his cursor was basically adopted, which would basically mean that HE was adopted, considering how cursors are one of our tools of interacting with the computer.
even if he did get it though, it would be purely psychological. and if we're basing this off of my experiences with it... it would feel faint. like hitting it against the side of the screen would feel like something suddenly but lightly pushing against whatever side of your body your cursor corresponds to. left side of cursor, left side of body, etc
(sorry i love talking about this stuff)
...with adoption au, do you think there MIGHT be some cursor sensitivity going on on alan's end. if he's not actively inside the cursor.
Probably not- there's no apotheosis shenanigan's here... but it is an interesting thought! And can happen naturally with out apotheosis shenanagins
Hngh... the mental image of one of the kids pulling the cursor onto their lap and gently petting it and Alan sitting in his chair like. 'What. What the heck.' Because it's like. It's like someone's petting his back. And that's. That's not right. Do not like- that is WEIRD-

cursor selkie sc (due to some unlikely plot contrivance) in god with a bag of groceries au would be so funny...bystanders watching god pass by with a bag of groceries, followed by tiny god with a packet of cookies. adorable.
Tumblr media
ANON... YOUR MIND..........
#tommy's foolery#selkie sticks au#tommy's stickmen tag#tommy's aus#pitch's art#i can only imagine what bystanders must be thinking. just. big scary cursor followed by the littlest of guys#i imagine that knowledge that humans aren't just cursors isn't too common#(or at least not something the average stick who hasn't looked into would know)#so it's confusing but weirdly cute?#any stick who knows that humans aren't just cursors though would be like '??????????????? THE FUCK?!?'#i think they'd only visit the outernet if they had the CG with them tho#it's really funny to imagine the CG sneaking onto a computer in hopes of getting to a safe place‚ making friends with SC#and then refusing to leave when alan tries to shoo them out#sorry sir. your child adopted these random kids as their siblings#god. that only makes it funnier because chosen wouldn't see him in the outernet until he's already adopted everyone#chosen follows him to the desktop and a bunch of kids pop out and hug him#as well as this tiny little cursor who is just. munching(?) on a cookie#just. What The Fuck#furthermore when you ask them if he's been mean to them at all they go '? no he's our dad'#and the cursor proceeds to squeak in mortification (they can do that?) and grab whoever said that and begin (gently) shaking them#because DON'T CALL HIM THAT HE'S NOT YOUR DAD........ STOP THAT#the cg all think alan reacting like this is very funny even though chosen is extremely concerned#anyway SORRY this is just so funny to me. thank you anon for blasting me with this image

knife anon was probably the first one i met ?? all i remember is one day i was just casually walking in the outernet, there was a corndog stand with two people sitting by it, one was knife anon and one was....named creachure i think ??
and...i was wondering, why are people sitting around here ??? what could i POSSIBLY be missing out on ?? so i sat with them !!
then i remember there was silly anon, homophobe sky anon....a few more came after that but it was never more than a handful !!
i am.....still baffled !! honestly !!
i had a mustard coma a bit ago, and i came back to everyone running off instead of hanging around the corndog guy's stand, and i couldnt believe it !!!! my fomo got HORRIBLE, so i took a break !! got therapy for my fomo and mustard addiction !!!
i thought NOTHING ELSE could even top all that !!! and your telling me.......THERES MORE ???? do i even want to ask about how are those other sticks are that the anons were helping then ?? i dont think so !!

AvA x Madoka Magica - Color Gang
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Better resolution - right above the tags
Their best wishes and dreams, weaponized into sparkly shirts and light blouses. They protect the PC from intruders, bound to this duty by a cute little sleek maskot - Alan.
Some concepts:
Tumblr media
Red had the sweetest dream of talking to animals, isn't it adorable? Poor thing lost their own language and body, mimicking so many creatures.
Tumblr media
Yellow wished for world to work like a clock. They didn't know they'd be a cog in it.
I didn't have concepts for either Blue or Green. Blue wished for addictions to not have any drawbacks. Green wanted all the attention, of every single person out there. Blue became the source of what they craved the most, Green lures sticks into the deep waters.
Incubators -> Cursors
Being of beyong, who can trade stick's will and self for power. These Cursors willingly contact sticks and make their presence known.
Magical girls -> Magical Sticks
Creatures of the Outernet, created by unsuspecting Cursors and thrown out to live their lifes. They have hopes and dreams, they grow and dry old, they change. Most of them don't even suspect someone beyond resides. Cursors come to them for the sweet entertainment, a battle-royale of wishes, hearts and cruelty.
Hollow heads -> coming soon
They were created like that. They are the testing grounds of Cursors.
the promised HQ

If I'm being honest, I actually want to see victim succeed in his revenge plan. Not because I emphasize with him and want to see him happy, but because it would break him.
We know that current day victim is defined by his revenge, his desire for revenge is pretty much his reason to live. So what will happen once he had finally summoned Alan and destroyed him?
Would he really just end everything and go back to a happy life after everything he did? I honestly want his defeat of Alan to be easy for him, because I don't want him to be satisfied with revenge. I need him to have the realization that by dedicating his life to revenge, he had made his life tied to Alan. Everyone else had moved on but him, he is the only one living in the past.
On a side tangent, I think not enough people acknowledge that revenge is a choice, yes there are factors that can push someone down revenge but it's still a choice. Victim choosing to pursue revenge is a choice made by the character. In fact, the choice proves victim had developed as a character over his time in the outernet. The victim that freshly escaped Alan's PC would have chosen to run away from the danger. However, current day victim chose revenge, in a way expressing his agency. Just because a character has agency doesn't mean they would make good decisions with it.
To add to that point, victim is genuinely insane to the other sticks. To most sticks, the dissapearance is basically a natural disaster, to them, victim is taking revenge on a natural disaster. There would have been more people hunting down chosen if that wasn't true. Also, do note that the cursor has been predrawn at the end at ava 11, victim has been anticipating the involvement of Alan even before he had the proof to do so.
Anyways, my point is that I want victim to succeed because it allows the narrative to strangle him and force him to move on. Because once he had done his revenge, what else is there left for him? I want that aspect to be explored, his world to shift beyond his past again. Victim has to be unfulfilled by revenge to move on. Basically, I want him to go through an existential crisis.
Alan, don't write victim to be John wick dammit.

Possible new AU? (Duck Alan AU?????)
Where in canon happens, except around Showdown, Alan got extremely worried that Second and the others hadn't come back yet. So he uses his brand new VR headset that he had bought (was planned to use it so he could finally meet and talk with the stick figures, but forgot)
He hadn't set a model for his VR so he used his ROBLOX character as his model, except the VR had twisted it and turned his whole model as a Duck. (His ROBLOX model is a duck head XD). So he sets his way towards the portal and was able to stop Second before he could kill Dark.
Tumblr media
What he thought he would look like.
Tumblr media
Versus what he turned into.
Second was confused when he saw Alan, cause why was there a random Duck trying to get his attention?
Tumblr media
Alan is swimming through the water so he could get to Second and the others (He still has not noticed he was a duck, he thought he was just extremely good at swimming, and awfully small for some reason)
Now onto some doodles! Duck Alan with his kids!
VICTIM
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here Victim discovers Alan was in the outernet and kidnapped him, and instead he was disappointed to find Alan looking like a Duck instead of the "Scary Cursor" form he had. So now his revenge was in shambles and forgotten since Alan had disappointed him so much in such a short time.
(Alan bothers Victim frequently by sneaking inside Rocket Corp)
Tumblr media
Alan sad mode because he got kicked out of Rocket Corp again.
CHOSEN
Tumblr media
Alan also fell asleep behind the VR as well (thank goodness he was laying on his bed) He totally did not sneak around and carefully laid himself down on top of Chosen.
DARK
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Initially, after the Showdown and Alan saving Dark from Second (by distracting him for looking like a duck). Alan has now fixed Dark's code, and he is much more chill now, since he has no voices telling him to destroy everything.
Though he is still mad at Alan (It's just hard to be mad at a cute looking duck, even if that duck is Alan himself, or so he tells himself that)
Alan is secretly very happy to see them all in person, so he cant help but stare at them in awe.
SECOND
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alan has no legs, i like to think he just glides around the place since that's just a VR model XDDD.
In the end, Alan had the chance to change his model, but he kept it because the others are much more kinder to him in that form XDDD
Where did i get this AU idea? Uhh *looks at the AvG roblox gameplays* i don't know either tbh. - S

THE ANIMATION VERSUS KICKSTARTER HAS LAUNCHED !!!!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/animationversus/animation-versus
which MEANS im going to make a post detailing everything of course .
Tumblr media
https://youtu.be/K4lvfmbMkcw?si=73cLDy92Aaron3yL
god. GOD !!!!!!! IM SO EXCITED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT DUDE
the game looks INSANELY good already and that's considering the game, as we see it, is supposed to release in 2028 !
it looks like it has 28 days to go to achieve its goal (and it already is doing really weel as i write this XD i mean, 14k dollars already??? god DAMN !!!)
Tumblr media
(new art on kickstarter page! the artist cooked)
i find it INCREDIBLY cool that the lead developer of the project is the person who made the ava/m rivals of aether mod. how cool is that dude
right away from the trailer im incredibly happy they're including purple in the main cast (another purple cameo on alanspc for the win)
Tumblr media
(i do admire the way blue is just fine with it)
the fighting kits are INSANE MAN ?? its a little surprising that orange's main moves are projectiles (which however is incredibly cool. both a throwback to anim vs. physics and (unintentional?) parallel with vic perhaps) <- (although, now reading it, it seems like the projectile objects will rotate with every move!)
green having a guitar in his kit ???? are you kidding. /vpos . i was wondering how they would optimize blue's kit but it looks SO cool dude (its likely im going to be a blue main XD)
Tumblr media
red's kit looks interesting, especially with the shark move! its genuinely not surprising that its red who's kit currently looks best ingame lol. it's also no wonder purple's kit is best at air attacks!
the backgrounds are just. Holy hell.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the whole fact they're making like. 4 different backgrounds per Stage ??? Good lord.
and. hello??? hello? hi ???? hello ????? im Sane ???????
Tumblr media
other notable details: its so cool to get more details on the city from up above, seeing it's so progressed. other details: "primoral descent" billboard which is a reference to dj's original comic! plus corndog guy's stand in the second bg (also we really gotta acknowledge that moon exists in the outernet sometime.)
(as im writing this the amount of money has already went up to 34k. holy hell.)
its interesting to me as well that the game's version of special attacks charge bar is a "node meter"! another one for the computer/internet references
Tumblr media
("a node in network refers to any physical device or point that is capable of sending, receiving, or forwarding data")
which also seems like a general running theme for the fighting scene in game itself, given that those "nodes" are also seen on the art and the character's fighting profiles
it seems like the game will either feature new game-specific soundtrack or compile existing soundtrack into a batch (which is making me Squeal because im so interested in how individual soundtracks are going to be named — yes im a fan of such details XD)
the reward tiers are. hough. holy hell
Tumblr media
beta tests ???? tco palette???? (as im guessing with sec?????) exclusive character pins??????? FUTURE DLC???????
(also, cursor lobby pet implies that there Will be a lobby. lol)
the kickstarter page also says: "Today, we have six characters that we’re excited to share with you. With your help, we’ll be able to bring even more iconic heroes and villains from AvA into the game!"
if that means we WILL eventually get rocketcorp characters + king. oh my god. oh my god.
and also. DIGITAL ART BOOK??????
(selling my kidney.)
plus. "At some of our higher tiers we're offering the opportunity to join a development meeting to see how to game is made, and the option to design your own original character stick figure in a level background!" Hello ?????
god i barely can word anything right now dude im so excited i cant stop stimming what the HELL !!!!!!!!

AvA 11 thumbnails + thoughts
Screenshots of AvA episode 11 thumbnails. (as of 14 Dec, 11 pm UTC+1)
Spoilers !!!
I'm sure some of you caught the old thumbnail, but in case you weren't aware, this is it:
Tumblr media
Animator vs. Animation episode 11 is titled after & centers around the first character in the series - victim (lowercase). We only knew vic in his grey form, except for his first ever appearance in AvA 1 (uploaded to YouTube in 2007. That's 17 years ago... man I'm old). Since then, his changed looks have been subject to many discussions and fan theories. Now we know that vic lost his saturation/hue while breaking through the outernet layer - which means he would've already been grey living with Mitsi and co, not black as seen above.
The thumbnail is split exactly in half, one of which is happy and peaceful, the other full of violence. For me, the line through the middle implies a life before and a life after - but vic was already traumatised while living in the outernet. I can see why the old thumb could be confusing.
Here's the updated version:
Tumblr media
And it's soo much better. The new thumb in contrast looks much more intense, much more fitting with the tone of this episode, and holds more meaning.
The half of the old thumb, which shows a happy part of victim's life, has been reduced to a quarter, and instead of a generic character lineup it now shows a peaceful memory with his best friend/partner/beloved - the focus was shifted on them because of their role within vic's life.
In both versions, Alan is represented as the cursor, aka the source of victim's pain (and later, obsession), which vic experienced directly through a long period of torture, and indirectly through creation of TCO (and TDL), who are responsible for Mitsi's death. In the old thumb, the cursor was put in the background with everything else, but in the new thumb, the cursor is shown separately. This is actually an interesting decision, to show every part of victim's life separately. It shows each entity as its own influence and/or different part, and not simply a cluster of figures.
The flames of death cast an ominous red glow on his hunched figure - victim is haunted by his past, while he sits in a throne of his own making, thinking about the one who ruined his life twice. Plotting revenge - or, perhaps, something worse than revenge.
And the cycle of abuse continues.

yeah this is pretty much true. can confirm
the relationship between the three main cursor species is like. dogs, to coyotes/foxes, to uh. wolves that are also divine creatures that are just. so much higher than you are.
domestic cursors are like. depending on the breed, can basically act like cursorlings for their entire lives. very silly guys. good therapy animals
wild cursors do have more similarities to user's cursors than domestic cursors do, they also have a lot of differences too. they tend to share a similar sort of erratic movement an behavior, but in a different way. with wild cursors, they seem more, just... natural, yk? their erratic-ness is explained by them being skittish and scared of sticks. and also, you can befriend a wild cursor, while the closest you can really do to that with a user's cursor is like. get it to like you or have it find you entertaining so it stays around you/keeps you around. there are exceptions though. like Alan
while user's cursors are. he weirdest ones, obviously. they don't really. fully seem like actual animals. they look the part, but... they certainly don't act like it. too intelligent, and yet with no way to easily communicate with them... lacking a sense of hearing and touch, it's almost as if they're tools, or vessels possessed. they're like if the fae and ophanim angels had a baby that looked like a pet. but wasn't.
that's. kind of why in some stick religions, outernet cursors (general term for cursors that aren't user's cursors) are seen as angels, or as gods to be worshipped. or just generally divine creatures
honestly though, i can see a user's cursor being mistaken for a domestic/wild cursor with like. a disorder. or like digital rabies or something. that's how weird they are compared to other cursors in the eyes of sticks sjshdhs
I feel like the feeling of a domestic cursor vs user cursor is like. The difference between a dog and a wolf. You can tell something is not a dog, even if it looks like one, movements deliberate, eyes yellow and piercing, too big, much too big. But are sometimes still mistook as dogs. The oddness brushed away.
ooOOOOOO... I love this... it's such a good description of what's basically happening.
There's just something off about the cursor... movements too deliberate... too controlled... sometimes too fast or slow or other things and-
...but sometimes. It does something more like a domestic cursor... and it's oddness is brushed away.

Siciria Analyzes The Most Complex Stick Figures Known To Man (part 3)
ooki, so here's part 1 and part 2 (Blue and Red)
This one is for Yellow :D
Also, I am thinking of ending this after 5 parts (after this we'll have part 4 Green and part 5 TSC)
...depending on factors I might keep going after part 5? Like maybe Purple or something? But uhh anyways...
SPOILERS AHEAD
-
Okay, so Yellow is essentially the resident "nerd" of the group. He likes redstone, command blocks, strategy games, and coding. He canonically has glasses as well (when his face is visible), and he is quick to implement his ideas, especially during battle.
Examples:
Tumblr media
He was quick to throw his staff at the minimize button because he understood where Greenscreen was getting his power from.
Tumblr media
He was quick to begin making a plan to escape the piglins (whereas Blue froze instead - check part 1).
Yellow is someone that can understand what needs to be done and do it efficiently.
But, er, sometimes...
...he can get carried away. His inventions and mind can get away from him sometimes and cause consequences for him and his friends. Prime examples of this are the lucky block episode - (he literally got POSSESSED because he took apart a lucky block and used the glowing magic orb thingy to make gifts for his friends) and the Actual Short: Upgrade, where his invention essentially destroyed their house.
Tumblr media
But now I kind of want to talk about more recent occurences with Yellow. As most of us know, there was a comment on one of Green's vids that said that Yellow had lackluster acting, and another one saying he was useless in the skit, both hearted by Green. In my opinion, the "useless" portion is fine (the comment was probably talking about Yellow's role in the skit), but Green could have responded better to the one about lackluster acting.
And this got me thinking - Yellow's probably really insecure about this kind of stuff. He is already the least popular out of the Color Gang (and Purple, Chosen, Dark, King, and Corn Dog Guy) - I'll explain my theory as to why in a second (hehe).
Tumblr media
AND...I've also been seeing a few comments and fanfictions saying Yellow is the "worst fighter" or "least athletic" of the group??? These mostly stem from his kind of unconfident fighting stance in this scene...leading to him getting clapped (even tho everybody got clapped without the weapons).
Tumblr media
And now my theory as to why Yellow is liked the least.
In my humble opinion, all four of the fighting quad had roughly around the same in the beginning. Of course, Second is the main character, and he lives up to that title, so he'd obviously have way more fans. But each of RGYB have different personalities that appeal to different segments of the audience.
But we obviously don't like it if our favorite character isn't having screen time or any contribution...and we also don't like it if another character that isn't our favorite is getting more screen time. Like Yellow in Animator vs Animation.
He's the one who hacked into Dark's computer and brought Alan's cursor to the Outernet, and kept a level head while everyone else was freezing.
Tumblr media
And he's the one being wanted by Rocket Corp, while the other three were cast aside. He has a larger role in AvA than Red or Green or Blue, and I think many of us kind of dislike him for that. Heck, when I first watched the Showdown, I disliked it slightly as well.
-
I know this one was less of a character analysis than the other two, but I really wanted to talk about this with Yellow. Feedback and additions are appreciated!
