"Approaching Storm" yeah so, it's been a minute. Since I posted anything at all, but definitely since I posted tts fanart. This was a really old piece that was sitting in my wips for multiple years. Finally decided to finish it. It's not every abandoned wip that gets this lucky (in fact it's not most). Theme for this pic is Earthshatter

[0rczy]

THIS IS SO COOL OMG, I love Chip’s little turn at the beginning and the colors and all the cool transitions and the song choice and aaa it’s amazing

YO HO!!

After around a month, it’s finished! Finally! I made the mistake to hand this in for one of my finals so you can see the quality decline as it progressed lol.

Some stills under the cut:

Meeting Hugo in my pirate AU

The story I base this off of has a rogue character and it's a running gag to call him bastard. Because he is, and he acts like it. Hugo takes the place of said character in this AU, and I find that beautiful

Also this, because I'm chanelling my introvert tendencies onto Varian and Nuru in this fic.

[0rczy]

Decided to fuck it and start actually writing the Vat7k pirate AU. I had enough of planning

One of my fav additions is making Hugo know Ulla before her disappearance. Because the betrayal would hurt even more if Varian found out that Hugo knew everything from the very beginning (well technically he doesn't, but still)

:D

hey Vat7k people,

[0rczy]

YES let Nuru roll for seducing every girl, and then failing at all of them except Amber for some strange reason

I just want Nuru to have a crush on every girl she sees is that really too much to ask?

[0rczy]

nuru... since some people were asking, i will talk about her. I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS. for all the characters, really, so i can do another yapping post if there is interest.. thank you for all the nice comments 💕this is literally just me braindumping below so it's so much text i am warning you now

first thing i want to blab about is choosing to make her 19.. 16yo nuru is fine -- young genius prodigy, diplomat for her people, and the kind of princess that doesn't mind getting her shoes dirty and maybe is dying to get out into the world and do that. i just think that considering where she's from (a kingdom plagued by an ongoing natural disaster) and the dynamic she could add to the group, i wanted her to be older, to have had a few years to lead her people and to have had a history of loss and hardship. i think she should have a story before joining the others and while she can certainly have that at 16, i just wanted to give her more time. 19 is still relatively young, anyway. in my mind, nuru is a young lady with so much pressure on her shoulders, to be a leader and a queen and a diplomat, that i felt her being 19 would better showcase that burden and her experience. i could even picture her older, but i think 19 allows her to mesh with the other adults in the group well. i love her a lot!

i see her as being raised in constant crisis: her home, constantly under attack either from falling stars or surrounding kingdoms looking to invade koto for its coastal ports (i made this up); her family, trying in vain to stick to the traditions of the past generations but in need of a new approach; her people, jaded with the monarchy and restless. she had an eldest sister, a war general who fell on the battlefield, and an older brother, a medic in training who was killed performing aid during one of the meteor showers. her mother the queen is assassinated by unsatisfied rebel parties, giving nuru an inherent wariness of "commoners" and fueling her & hugo's conflict a lot more. varian's past actions would also hit close to home for her. bc the queen was the real power behind the throne, nuru's father is currently declining with the grief of losing most of the family.

nuru is only 13 when she becomes next in line for the crown, so for a good while, she is puppeted by a council of six. when she is 16-17 she defends koto from another invasion so soundly that her people begin to respect and believe in her a little more. she's worked very hard to be the figure she is by the time varian &co come visiting, and public opinion of her is still improving, not perfect. her father is pressuring her to marry into the neighboring kingdom to end the invasions peacefully; this is one act of sacrifice that scares her bc aside from the fact that i 100% agree she likes women, she knows koto will always come second if the two kingdoms choose to unite, and everything she has worked for and people have died for will be for nothing. i think this is what motivates her to go on this journey for some magical library that may not even exist -- she doesn't want to resort to allowing her kingdom to be annexed just yet, and she's also kind of running away for once, from her obligations and duties. she sees it that way, anyway, and grapples with that guilt along the duration of the trip. is she doing this for koto or for herself type thoughts. why not both! (she hasn't really prioritized herself before)

im sorry this is probably not what u guys wanted when you said headcanons.. sniffs. here's a more fun one i think girl can't swim. i think she is trained in fencing. she's proficient in self-defense. hugo teaches her how to shoot a gun and she's a natural deadshot. i think she deserves at least 20 outfit changes throughout the trip. she doesn't make a sound when she cries. because of all the war and politics she's experienced, she is actually the most understanding when hugo's exposed as a double agent; she's excellent at reading people and can tell that he's distraught by the reveal, and she picks up on the massive power imbalance between him and donella right away. she can certainly empathize with making decisions that hurt others because someone with more authority than you said so. (she is still upset with him, but she understands). i think in the finale battle, ulla initially targets nuru because nuru has a such a strong reason to want the library's contents.

... if you read this far thank you :> (throws a nuru page at you)

this is why she’s make a perfect protagonist! Actually, all the Vat7k guys are their own lives’ protagonists, and that’s really cool imo

But Nuru specifically, she’s super interesting as a character, her motivations are both internal as well as external, and her kingdom makes sure that the journey feels important on a larger scale. Because if she doesn’t find the library, and/or doesn’t find a solution, they’re all doomed

Way to give a 16 year old burden and angst

she would also make an AMAZING Disney Princess, as in a movie where she’s the protag! For the same reasons. Nuru is my favorite unofficial Disney Princess <3

Nuru having to leave her kingdom behind in order to find a solution that might never exist

Im just thinking about how she feels guilty occasionally for "abandoning" her people and pursuing something that might not even be true

She doesnt even know if this library even has the answer she needs or if there even is one in the first place

All she has is hope but sometimes there is doubt which clouds it

I think it makes her homesick

Last session of dnd was super fun!

Here’s Hawkeye, the girl ever, give her lots of love she’s AMAZING

[0rczy]

did you think i was done with drawing francis with the smiths lyrics? think again

[0rczy]

I still sing slippery slope and worlds to discover as warmups whenever I do a little singing session at home. Even after 2 years of finding the songs

But yeah we should talk about them more, some of the melodies and lyrics are soooo fun

why does no one talk about danielle keiko eyer’s vat7k songs anymore. why does no one talk about slippery slope.

[0rczy]

Just finished our dnd session for the month. Guys MY CHARACTER KINDA ADOPTED A 7 YEAR OLD GIRL! Now I can actually play out my ice king-marceline plot line I was planning from the very beginning, hell yeah.

Like, this old man is pathetic to all party members EXCEPT MY GIRL. She adores me and my character is teaching her swear words and morally questionable life lessons (that he learned from books. Guy has never really touched grass)

[0rczy]

If you haven’t seen the brand new Goodbye Despair musical, i cannot recommend it enough. Nagito is such a queen in this guys. Like HE AND HAJIME TANGO. HE DRAWS THEM KISSING it’s so great

Please go check it out, it really made my day

[0rczy]

YES.

When I was first getting into tts, I didn’t start with the series, but fan fictions instead (a mistake). And so I had this headcanon how Varian’s talking voice sounds, cause I knew Jeremy Jordan was his singing voice and I liked that, but I just couldn’t imagine that same voice coming out of him when speaking. In my head he sounded like Noah Galvin, a lot more high pitched and childish, but a very similar raspy sound sometimes. Then when he’s older (like season 3) I could finally accept his voice as his own. Because then, it finally fit! But yeah, idk.

That voice is great for singing, but anytime I see clips of Varian talking, it’s just weird.

Varian's voice is only vaguely Jeremy's now. Like there's similarities because Jer is his voice actor, but also so many things are different because otherwise the voice just doesn't suit Varian as much. All the other characters voices stay the same but not Varian's cause his voice just needs a little tweaking and then it's perfect. Please tell me you get it.

Screw destiny!

Roommates AU animatic for the final day of Varigo week

Ever since reading the AU (created by @dreadpirateurania13) I wanted to make an animatic, especially since the newest chapter. So here it is!

It’s a bit of a rewrite of the parody song “screw destiny” from Princess Tutu Abridged episode 12 (seriously if you like this story you have to go watch Princess tutu, it’s SO GOOD)

Question for the Vat7k fandom

I do see someone organizing a Varigo week every year (I think) which made me think.. has anyone ever given the same treatment to the other characters in 7k? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall there ever being a "Hugo Week" or "Nuru Week" Or shit- Amberuru!! Or Melting Point! Or literally just Yong! No need for ships here let us solo appreciate our babies!

Nobody is forced to participate anyway so who says we can't try it out?

[0rczy]

maybe 200 frames in 6 days is a bit too much for my wrist. Maybe. But varigo week is important. I'm almost done coloring them, then I have to edit them and it's done WOHOO
