Space is vast; the possibilities are as endless as the boundaries of the cosmos. But to drift in the void between is not for the faint of heart, aimless and without destination… This is a Starbound askblog! Following the adventures of a spacefarer that reached for the stars … and found his dreams dashed across them. Theme “Iconic” made by egg.design! Background made by Norma2D!

Stay awesome, folks! Thank for checking out the blog! )

Whoa, why were you arrested?
Karis: “. . . I mean. There’s bound to be that exact nutjob somewhere out there in the universe, but still. I probably won’t hear about anyone getting after me for a while.”

Dare I ask how you've seen an Ancient? I've only read about them on the Nexus.

Karis: “Did you really think this was an actual message sent by an actual person that I could meaningfully socialize with?”
S.A.I.L. : [Of course…not. If I may put the “intelligent” in “artificial intelligence”, this was merely an educational tool to remind you about the dangers of falling for random messages.]
Karis: “Uh-huh. Right. Okay.”

Winter Holidays Party!
What a wonderful event! My team of chefs outdid themselves with the food, the company was brilliant, and the beautiful fireworks that were the main event of the night went off without a single hitch.
I want to say thank you to all my guests for making this such a magical evening and hope you all had a lovely time too.
Cohton Thorne & Helio (@laurelverses)
Karis (@ask-starstruck-wanderer)
Lyrami (@mourningmoth)
Lex (@star-fi)
Leo, Nezal, Perch, Sasphira, & Tilac (@voidgremlin2electricboogaloo)
Marion (@when-are-we-gonna-play-squash)
Phzi (@awful-roffle)
Caseswing, Oganesson & Yasahama (Dru's)
-- Your host, Mio
I also want to say a big thank you to everyone who's interacted with me this year; to everyone who's sent asks, who's reblogged my games, made use of my prompts, and to the above who participated in my little party idea.
A massive thank you as well to @awful-roffle for creating the discord server - something I wasn't brave enough to do 😅
It's been a good year for the Starbound Community here, I think. We may be small, but we're still flying 😊
Here's to 2023 -- may it be filled with wonder, joy, and even more community spirit 🌠
-- Dru
#starbound#(aaa happy holidays!!)#(thank you so much dru for all of this)#(and for essentially carrying most of the activity going around in this community <XD)

(heya! good to see another askblog (from the folks @laurelverses). i'll send in another message later (for the blog!) but glad to see ya around. it really is criminal that the community is so dead rn. have a good night, love your art!)
( Very glad to see another friendly face and askblog around here too! Unfortunately, I've also sort of fallen into dead-ness after a Big Life Event + some lostness, but hopefully that will be remedied in the coming weeks.
I love the start that you have so far -- thanks for stopping by, and keep up the awesome work! <3 )

( So, I made that character page I mentioned.
To access it on the desktop version of the blog, bring your cursor over to the sidebar on the left and click the black bar that says ‘Navigation’ !
To access it on the mobile version of the blog, it should be in the same place as the ask and submit buttons. Farther to the right, there should be a button that says ‘Characters’ !
Thanks for reading! If there are any issues with the links or formatting, do let me know! )
#starbound#askblog#sail speaks#(there’s a dollop of info there that’s technically for a yet unanswered ask)#(plus mysterious future cast and individual pixel sprites oooooooo)

( trying to get into the swing of drawing more things! I realized that I had to figure out *a* reference someday to get a better idea of what Karis wears and generally looks like, so here’s one of him in his standard exploring outfit. It’s a bit of a reinterpretation of some Aegi clothes that you can get at character creation.
i’ll probably be setting up a page after this with some general and uncovered info about him. And then after that, some teaser images of future characters… )
#starbound#askblog#sail speaks#Karis#(thank you for the asks in the inbox!! i’ll be getting to those as soon as i can)#(tfw you try to think of simple compositions for the answers but you go hard on the drawing anyway)#(someone hold me back from wanting to fix every perceived mistake)

the two types of starbound community are either nonexistent or mean i guess :(
theres a handful of starbound bloggers here which i like, but reddit is practically dead and the discord im in seems. mean. i just want to talk about starbound with people 🥺🥺🥺
#sail speaks#(reblogging because painfully relevant)#(i’d heard about some nasty starbound discords yeah—might have even been the same one)#(be careful out there starbound folks)#(slowly inserting more content and interaction into this corner of tumblr now that i sort of have the time to ;;; )#(but also hello fellow starbound people :D)

( One of Karis’ main looks, with additional mask-off picture to get a better look at the rest of the head! He’s an Aegi from the Elithian Races mod c:
Clothing used: Assassin’s mask (w/ black dye), Outlaw chest, Hunter’s trousers
Excited to see who’s attending the party! )
Winter Holidays OC Party invite
Hey Starbounders 0/
I like prepping stuff for the holidays super early, and I had a grand idea for this year's build -- a big party!
But it's going to look really lame if Mio is the only one there, and since I feel we've grown as a community:
I'd like to invite your OCs to a Winter Holiday Party!
What I want from y'all is to reblog this post with a screenshot of your character in their vanilla* iconic outfit -- for example, @when-are-we-gonna-play-squash said her character always wears a beret -- or in something they might wear to a party.
I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's characters so they can come along and enjoy the fun.
*(I'm not downloading a tonne of clothing mods)
#starbound#sail speaks#(i’ll draw an actual reference with these outfits soon!)#(a shame you can’t dye the base color of the jacket or pants a different color)#(the second the word ‘party’ reaches his ears karis is already in the pilot’s seat)

Oh neat, Avikan lore is cannon here! What does your character think of the Akkimari? Do they think the Centens were created by the Ancients? Or maybe they were the ancients!
Karis: “Actually, I’ve talked to two. But that’s not really anything worth bragging about.”
#starbound#askblog#Karis#(these took forever)#(there were going to be more panels but finished is better than perfect eh)#(cant believe i almost posted this without the ask-)#(I have access to a better tablet now so some asks may look better and be faster#but no promises!)

“…Fine.”

(WAHA I’VE FINISHED THE INTRO POST!! I hope this sets the right tone for the blog—it will have a lot of light moments, but this is the backdrop of it all.
And without further ado, welcome to this funky little blog! To the enthusiastic anon in my inbox, I see you, and I appreciate you very much)
#starbound#askblog#starbound oc#comic#again very excited but also a bit scared because the askblog community is scarce round these parts#i hope to get in touch with more folks and have fun with yall! :D#Debated on posting this later but i got impatient HDHSNFJDJ#hello!!!!!

Blog Notes
Here are some things to keep in mind about the blog!
I’m running this blog at a casual pace! Life can be a bit hectic, so posts may happen either as fast as a couple of days, or as slow as about a week or month.
There will be some deviation from the base Starbound lore. This blog makes use of lore from Starbound mods like Elithian Races, Novakids+, and RPG Growth, as well as a handful of ideas from my own noggin. Expect to see worlds, faces, and concepts not found in your vanilla-brand, Starbound yogurt!
