your p03ficus animatic: an intricate and wonderfully-executed story of tragic yet wholesome romance deftly interwoven with inscryption’s canon

your leshificus animatic:

never-before-seen digital affection epilogue

I'm not sure if you mind or not, (and if you do I apologize) but I thought up of an extension to that scribe swap au. Maybe a collab version if you will. :/ cult of the lamb x inscryption to be exact... So essentially the bishops of the old faith are made of the old data and take over each of the 4 realms. For example,the one we know in love with the pink moon is controlled by Shamura, Bishop of war, it is they who are responsable for all the squandering and power fights. They do this in order to try to free themself. But I'm not sure how the rest of them will play out... ( also, I don't know if you know Cult to the Lamb are not, but in case you don't, for reference. Kallamar is bishop of pestilence and I was thinking of making him rule over the blue moon, heck, it is the Bishop of famine, and she rules the yellow moon, and lastly, * for the sake of distinguishing between the 2* leshy jr! * the scrybe leshy is refered to as leshy sr.* or some just call him Beelzebub, he rules over the green moon. And the center of these worlds, a former bishop and middle sibling, narinder is chained in order to keep him from foiling the bishops' plan of domination.) **again if you do mind me just barging in like this, I'm sorry, and you're free to not respond to this. I just thought of your scrybe swap au and this thought couldn't leave my precious mind.**

personally i'm not at all knowledgeable or fixated on CoTL, but if you want to make a fragmentary crossover AU thing, go for it! sounds like a cool concept, and it's always fun and flattering to see people get inspired by my lil AU ideas ^^

[determunition]

You reactivated my inscryption fixation you're really cool have a wonderful day :]

yessss join us >:3 twas my plan all along...

fr though thank u so much, and welcome back!! i'm always so happy to inspire ppl with the sheer extent of my own inscryption fixation lmao, it never ends

hey man!! I love your OLD_FOLKS_HOME fic (and your retyrement AU in general). I was wondering if you could give us literally like, any other facts about the retyrement mycologists? I’m very much obsessed with their designs/the small bits of character we’ve gotten so far. hope you have a good day!!

hi there! thanks so much :D really appreciate all your interest!!

your retyrement mycologist fact of the day is... the taller myco doesn't have a driver's license, the smaller one drives them everywhere in his mushroom-themed vehicle that he also does rideshare service with on the side lmao

Hi so I’ve curious, (Been nervous about starting my own AU) When you first started posting OFH (on twitter/ao3) how did you get the courage to post it? Were you ever afraid of getting called ‘cringe’ or ‘weird’ or anything else negative? If so how were you able to get over it? (Btw I do love this AU with all my heart!) Sorry if any of these questions are too sensitive!

hi!! thanks for the questions, i'm flattered to be considered a source of wisdom about this x3

OFH/retyrement, like most fandom things i do, started as kind of a silly shitpost thing; i love human AUs, and when my buddy squid_hug made that original text post about the retirement home it tickled me too much to ignore. objectively the scrybes being human old people bickering in a retirement home is a goofy, silly idea, and that's how it started as an AU, down to the written fic. i think that in itself made it a bit easier to post about

however! even with that, when i started posting the first pieces of art it was definitely a "do it scared" situation lmao; i don't remember where i heard this, but in some cases it takes even more courage to do something new when you're already known for something than it does to start something new with no presence at all, and that was definitely true with the retyrement AU. it was my first contribution to the fandom too! i was definitely worried it wouldn't go over well with anyone bc it was so damn niche lolol

my main piece of advice for getting over this fear (besides just doing it scared until you're not scared anymore) is to get yourself a hype squad lmao; though maybe the more accurate term would be a mutual AU ecosystem. i had squid to develop a lot of the AU with me at the start and we bounced a lot of silly ideas off of each other, and now i have a lot more folks around to crack jokes and hype each other up about our art and fics! also at the beginning i had a point where i was feeling a little self-conscious about continuing to post (the AU had a painfully small amount of engagement at the beginning lol), but as soon as i got one (1) ask saying "i wanna see more of this" i took that as my green light to get as silly with it as possible lmao

so ig my TL;DR advice is: don't take shit too seriously, remember it's all in good fun, and surround yourself with folks who enjoy funny lil AUs as much as you do! the second thing can be hard, as it involves uh, putting yourself out there in the first place, but embracing that discomfort is a necessary evil for having a good-ass time! if you can successfully kill the part of yourself that cringes then you'll never be cringe again

godspeed on your own AU endeavors, the digital world is always better for having another crazy creative alternate universe in it <3

Hey just wondering, what do you think about James Cobb and is he in your au?

james cobb is a very funny character to me, and i'm not sure where i'm going to slot him in in OFH but he's probably going to make an indirect cameo in conversation at some point

i haven't the opportunity to sketch him up at the moment, but for now i'll say that he is in the AU; he was one of magnificus's students when mag was still teaching art at a university, and one of his most obsessive fans. he eventually was expelled from the university, probably due to some kind of extremely indecent performance art or smth, and went on to switch careers...to an engineer at botopia labs! probably somewhere towards the end of poe's career, like uhhh early 2000's or something. because he was still no less of a weird guy poe had a hard time figuring out what to really do with him, but he has his place in the factory now, and still works there after poe's retirement

if he's going to come up at all in the fic it'll either be one of the students mentioning him, or poe and mag having a convo about the weirdest people they've come upon in their careers and realizing that they're both talking about the same weird guy lmao

To me the funniest aspect of the ships between the scrybes is the silent implication of them collabing on making a campaign. Imagine Magnificus and P03 working together to make one. Imagine Magnificus and Leshy working together on one.

someone in my youtube comments said magnificus and leshy would create a massive convoluted DnD campaign that never ends and they're so right for that, i think a game from the two of them would barely resemble inscryption anymore lmao

magnificus and p03 i think about a lot bc genuinely it would probably be a pretty good campaign; magnificus would probably have a lot of larger than life ideas for settings, bosses, cards, etc, but p03 would know how to make it more playable, digestible, and satisfying to a player. i have no doubt they'd butt heads at MANY points (it would def take them ages to settle on a good techno-magic setting) but if they by some miracle managed to cooperate well enough i think it would probably be one of the better campaigns out of all potential scrybe collabs, especially since p03 is like...kind of not bad at story? maybe it's a hot take but despite his lackluster narration i think he succeeds pretty well in constructing his lil post-apocalyptic robo hellscape in act 3

of course the real wild card in any of these collabs is the idea that they're in a relationship or have feelings for each other while they're collabing; either these guys are emerging from this collaboration bonded in epic love for life or they're breaking up mid-development lmao

[determunition]

Just want to say this blog literally brought me back here to tumblr. I adore your art and your scribes and its so nice to see people still enjoying the four! Hopefully sometime soon i can get money to commission you as well! Thank you so much for all your hard work!

aaa this genuinely means so much to me to hear :'3 i'm so glad you've been enjoying my blog!! thanks so much for your kind words, they really made my day

happy april fool's day! i've seen a couple little bits of this song used for leshy and magnificus before (most notably @arinsanity and @smallnymphaea on tumblr, with the "i've got something in my eye" lyric), but i felt compelled, nay, obligated, to send these two on the entire cursed red flags date experience that everyone in this fandom has been sleeping on. p0laroid is all well and nice but i am at my core a leshy/magnificus divorce truther, and who's to say that leshy's questionable cinema preferences wouldn't be the first red flag that things aren't going to work out?

song used is, of course, red flags by tom cardy, and this was boarded in storyboard pro 7; you can also watch it with subtitles on my youtube!

Any plans to include Luke’s sister El in OLD_FOLKS_HOME? It makes sense if you don’t, from what I hear she’s more a part of the console ARG and doesn’t have much of a presence in the main game (plus she’s already passed on by the time the game begins, so maybe it can be said she did exist in OLD_FOLKS_HOME in the past but Luke and Poe don’t like talking about her that much because she’s dead?)

yeah, i've kind of always kept el out of OFH because she's already passed and would be a bit of a sore subject! i think in particular poe would be a bit testy about her, since he's been infamously distant with his family and probably feels remorseful that he didn't spent as much time with her as he should have before her untimely death. if you want to get really angsty you could even say that's why he's finding it more and more important to spend time with luke during the events of the story

ultimately though, OFH is primarily a silly romp of a story and as such i've purposefully kept it from going too far into angst territory! i already take it way too seriously as it is lol; though if you'd like to see how a subject like el could be handled in a retyrement-type setting, @naturallydark did a pretty bang-up job incorporating her into his Cardmas fic! honestly if anything in those scenes/moments jived with my own plot direction i'd probably find a way to do something similar in OFH

TL;DR i don't plan to add or mention her in the story proper! but she does exist on the fringes of the canon, similar to a couple other characters i've yet to do anything with lol

more retyrement mycologists; i'm greatly warming up to the idea that in the retyrement AU a lot of leshy's weirder campaign elements came from people meeting his gamemastering with some of the most unhinged improvised roleplay ever
