hiiiii! Quesssstion:

Would you iterate your Siren Eclipse being rejected by someone he’d probably have an interest in?

This is tooootally not also a silent ask of who’s even interest him at all 🤣.

Side note- I adore your style and illustrations. Keep it up!

This toxic ass bitch fish would NOT know how to take "no" for an answer He's the best catch in the entire ocean, pun intended hehe, who in their right mind would reject a Siren such as him? He would not accept such a foolish rejection, no, he'd take it as a challenge and he will get what he wants.

He always does

Finally posting this!! @theinfamousdoctorf ‘s Eclipse and sun, the former being silly and the latter getting worked up. This fic and these characters continue to live in my head rent free, looking forward to drawing more as I practice/get used to the designs!

Apologies for the blindingly white bg adfgjkl

Building a VR world

I'm no expert! I'm just sharing what I did to build my first one. Which I still need to fix.

If you want to make a world for android users too (the headset), then switch it to Android first on Unity. VRchat takes for Unity only 100MB! I did PC first and had to delete and replace a lot of stuff.

Copy the project folders of Unity, because most likely, there will be errors and loose your progress. (Which happened to me twice)

The first tutorial video I found was from Spookyghostboo, a wonderful creator who made many wonderful VR worlds (please go support her) If you check her channel, there are many more tutorials:

(37) How To Make A VRChat World From Scratch Start to Finish | Blender to Unity Tutorial | Beginner - YouTube

How to make clickable doors, I used doors I made in Blender, keep an eye on where its origin point is placed, it needs to be at the corner of the door:

Simple Clickable Door - Udon / VRChat Scripting SDK3.0

How to make a button to switch skyboxes:

Create a Skybox Switcher Button - Udon/ VRChat SDK3.0

How to make less MB:

How to Optimize your VRChat World INSTANTLY

Assets and Materials:

If you are poor like me, there are free assets. You can, of course, make your own assets in Blender or your own materials if you want to.

For assets like furniture, there are Booth and Sketchfab. There are more pages, but I preferred those. Though Sketchfab doesn't have many assets who have less MB.

Here are two I used the most from:

mobubbler - BOOTH

spookyghostboo - BOOTH

Here you can download free materials and Textures:

ambientCG - Free Textures, HDRIs and Models

I can't help you with errors, I'm still working on them myself. But you can Google like I do.

Warning, long rant ahead:

Sometimes I look at other’s opinions on a character and it’ll be like “I LOVE this guy. I will defend them to the DEATH they’re the absolute BEST.” And then one (1) episode goes by where they make a bad call in the heat of the moment, or does something mean to another character, and they’re like “I HATE them. THEY’VE NEVER had a GOOD bone in their body. Now they’re a VILLAIN I guess. Horrible writing.” And. Like.

That’s the thing with characters. They often times make mistakes. Or do bad things for what they view as a good reason. It doesn’t mean you have to defend them, or agree with the reason they’re doing the bad thing. But like… you have to have a bit of sympathy. You’re viewing their moral decisions from an outside perspective, where none of it affects you! If you want to understand why your blorbo said the mean thing, you have to understand that people say things they don’t always mean. That blorbo was under a lot of pressure at that moment. It doesn’t make it right, they still need to apologize, but… can’t you relate a little bit?

This is about Ruin running away from the group after his Monty died. This is about Nexus saying horrible things and running from his family. This is about Charlie tormenting Eclipse. This is about Lunar killing Eclipse. This is about Lunar using NSP. This is about Dark Sun.

It can be so frustrating to see people slapping “hero” and “villain” labels on every character, when clearly they’re more complex than that. Nobody is a “hero” or a “villain”. Nexus hurt Sun and Earth’s feelings, and tormented Moon. He also felt he was under the expectation of being better than Moon his whole life, and then when Moon comes back, everyone just ran back to Moon as their better brother. Was that what happened? Not exactly. But that’s the situation Nexus thinks is happening.

Moon died, and when Nexus went to see him, he promised to always protect his family, as Moons are supposed to do, in his opinion. Then, he gets revived, and Nexus has done the opposite. He’s run away from his family when they needed him most, over an Eclipse. He’s a coward and a poor excuse of a Moon. Is that what happened? Not exactly. But that’s what Moon thinks is happening.

It’s really not hard to understand the character’s motivations, and it helps inform the conflicts they go through. No wonder Nexus hates Moon, and Moon hates Nexus! They both represent each other’s worst nightmare. Moon fears his own cowardice, and betraying his family. Nexus fears being abandoned for making mistakes. Who’s in the right? Doesn’t matter! It’s not supposed to be a tale of morality. It’s more like reality TV. It’s okay to like Moon. It’s okay to like Nexus! But it doesn’t make sense to call everyone a “hero” or a “villain”.

Top-Tier Villain Motivations

They will be safe. It doesn't matter who else or what else burns as long as They will be safe.

I will be safe. The hunger and the cold will never touch me again.

Fuck any bitch who's prettier(/cooler/better-liked/better at making dumplings) than me.

Yes, Master

Love me. Love me. Love me. Love me. LOVE ME!

I know the terrible things these so-called "heroes" will do if I don't stop them (<- is absolutely wrong)

I don't want a better future, I want a better past!

No other way to get performance art funded these days

Meet my silly squad of Wither Shard and Star chasers.

Some big dimension hopping lore / science I’ve made…

The “In-Between” is a reference to the space between dimensions when hopping. In the “In-Between”, you find dead universes or remains of destroyed ones. No stars exist here and cannot be reached by Astrals [at least - not easily] and is basically a hallway to other dimensions.

Getting stuck out in the middle of the “In-Between” is typically a death wish, but not for “Drifters” like Solstice. [D.Sun] Drifters are people who roam the “In-Between” or even inhabit it. Because the plane is so vast, you will likely never find another Drifter here if you don’t have another one already with you.

The best to map markers in the “In-Between” are dimensions, but those do often move. Not drastically, but subtly like an ever-changing maze depending on the events of said universe.

Ruin and Nexus were temporary inhabiters of the In-Between.

Solstice is a permanent Inhabiter.

Eclipse is well educated on it since his time with the Star, and is able to traverse it, but dares not to try for its dangers. Though - it’s an interesting study.

The home that Solstice brings Nexus and Ruin to is a ruin inside the In-Between. It is not stable enough to be a dimension, and is further decaying by the decade.

If you’ve known my content for a while, you may recall “Take Me Back To Eden” Eclipse vs Solstice. They are in the In-Between in that animation, and the white “snake” above is what a dimension looks like.
