heretic belongs to https://artfight.net/~SneJ or @beatcroc here  it took an hour of refresh to post this on AF my GOD

[jamverse]

so i erm..... i really just felt like drawing @beatcroc's big silly guy.... consider it either a gift or a peace offering or whatever, i hope it turned out well 👉👈

(i am just an enormous sucker for dragons/literally anything vaguely draconic hehe 😅)

[jamverse]

oh my god i never even posted VAST\/TOWERING here

[jamverse]

probably more pertinent to put over here since thats where it's happening anyway. they will be featuring no new art whatsoever

in other news i realized i should probably have some coherent OC refs somewhere more accessible than artfight so im gonna uhhhhhh start working on that

[jamverse]

did a grand total of Three [3] entire oc sketches last year. wrow nk that was going to be an icon then got out of hand, What If I Gave Sarah A Snapback, and a music mood scribble of.... almost ignis

[jamverse]

My part of theart trade with @beatcroc

I hope you like it, really cool design <3

[jamverse]

@beatcroc’s gorgeous Apollyon!!

[jamverse]

guess who listened to nothing but katamari music for 3 days straight

[jamverse]

slapped some colors on older lines for artfight 👍

my brain has been 101% dedicated to pizza tower the past month but it did at least get me to finally get around to whipping up lily's set of 'funny fighting game palette swaps referencing other characters'. the weirdgirl/autism squad [and squigly] did one of these for amaranth a bit ago too but it's on another post. i have a sets planned out for the other two main guys too but god knows when i'll get to actually making them

+bonus for the 5th one because it's a little scary how directly they translate

[jamverse]

angels are like gut bacteria or perhaps lichen or toxoplasmosis or a tapeworm, unless you are a god in which case they are sort of like cancer

have decided to make the gods radioactive in order to help deter people from claiming they have souls

quick test run of ren.py feat everyone's favorite staple syrup exchange. and a stolen su background.

live playable web version of it here [newgrounds], but i'll be moving that as soon as i figure out... literally anything abt hosting and actually using ren.py web lmao. ng is just the easiest option for the moment

there will be more of these! besides whenever i get around to [hopefully?!?] using them in-comic, there's plenty of smaller isolated exchanges between characters i want to do like this.

here's the rough pass and some lilys [and a helix] i ended up not using

[jamverse]

they are having an argument

[jamverse]

ive been cleaning out a bunch of files on my comp and google drive and i found a plot beat summary of static sound i typed out awhile back. spoilers, obviously, if you care about that, which you shouldn't, because as I've said from the beginning this was never about the plot so much as just screwing around with my characters. I only edited the bigger points so some of the rest might be outdated but close enough. here you go.

SIDE A:

-amaranth takes off to nk's domain to fight in gladiator matches, sees sarah's biotech w/ the same 'royal crest' mark she has and is like "hey where the fuck did you get that"

-oridar/verah are like "theres just this random kid [lily] out in the wastelands who makes 'em" so ama sets off to there to see what the deal is

-brief encounter with a toxinvein that takes out her ship but gets picked up by spurlocke, who as it happens was already going to see lily anyway 

-it's like super obvious that lily's "the lost queen" from 700 years ago so amaranth calls her dad like "holy shit guess who i found"

-ezkiel hears this and freaks the fuck out because they thought they were DONE with that job and the whole shtick of the old rulers, and hightails it the fuck over there to end it for real 

-meanwhile ama's like "ok well i can't take her home or do anything until i fix my ship" so they head Back to where ama's downed ship is

-ezekiel meets them on the way

-amaranth quickly finds a lot of [genuine] reason to be suspicious of ezekiel’s being there, and after calling her dad and getting some more info, her confronting ez quickly escalates to a fight where amaranth gets her ass fucking levelled and also inadvertently zapped with a toxinvein

-she's out cold, ez takes off with lily, spurlocke can't really do shit bc he's just some guy in all of this so he just takes to looking after ama for the moment

-flip back to ezekiel; tldr they end up exposition dumping about the razing and what they are and do as a chosen; most critically bringing up sth abt being a "regulator of cosmic/deity-level threats'' or something

-lily's like "oh ok cool you know that thing you zapped the loud girl with. maybe you should take a look at that, cuz that's kinda what we think that is."

-ezekiel decides an emerging sentient god virus is a more pressing issue than this one loose end from centuries ago and they head back to meet back up w/ the other two to investigate this [nobody Actually knows this is what toxinvein are at this point, but there's enough evidence to tip ez off that there's SOME kind of deity bullshit at play here]

-meanwhile Meanwhile after amaranth wakes up spurlocke gives her the 'hey so you're kinda fucked' rundown on what they know about toxinvein and what to expect now that she has one

-ez/lily get back a bit after this and one last lightning round exposition dump to get all the characters on the same page about who knows what

SIDE B

-crew discusses how to go about investigating more into this toxinvein thing

-lead 1: verah, who ama and ez both talked to, has a noticeable glitching problem Similar to toxinvein; lily and ez go see what that's about

-lead 2: ama got this Ominous Brain Message:tm: while she was asleep; not quite a dream but close enough to it that the fact of the ruler of this place being called "Nightmare King" is probably worth checking out

-there's some filler flavor type stuff here w/ ama and spur going to the city and meeting his band and her getting sensory overload and her having to go chill for a bit+catching up with magnolia but none of it is big plot important

-lily/ez get back from their questioning verah, which also pointed them to NK. they get ready to meet back up with the other two, but are intercepted by the Spy who attempts to drag ez back to NK himself for Other Reasons:tm:

-that doesnt work because ezekiel has the power of god and anime. anyway take a wild fucking guess where the whole crew heads now.

-tldr of the scene at NK's castle is he uses his powers to talk to the toxivein through ama's subconscious; the toxinvein drops the name "ibagreski", which is someone Io is all too familiar with

-squad goes on space trip with io to see ibagreski

-ibagreski's like ''oh lol that's Diode, guess he's finally leaking back into that domain since NK killed my Sentinel there. sucks for you guys but there's nothing that can be done, enjoy your slow apocalypse''

-obviously the protag crew doesnt want to do that but iba's like "unless you have [extremely specific and unlikely circumstances/resources/abilities] we literally can't do anything but wait it out"

-and ezekiel's like 'we do actually have that'

-ibagreski's like 'oh shit lol. yeah you guys can try to defeat Diode yourselves then i guess'

-this requires going back to pangea and summoning raathe, so they do that and then take it back to nk's domain and have it host the rest of diode's power

-big cool anime final battle n they kill the diode/raathe/amalgamated toxivein abomination

-send that whole mess to space hell so diode can't come back again again

-yeehaw

Postgame funsies which I have no clue if I'll ever actually include:

-ezekiel “actually in hindsight i don't know why i'm still tethering myself to this planet i have nothing but bad memories of. i'm fucking immortal and have god powers i'm going to fucking go off and explore space and find something good. also you guys sort of know about the whole genocide thing now so i im assuming you don't really want me around anyway and i dont want to deal with whatever you were planning to do to me. bye.”

-amaranth already had a pretty set life before this so it just goes back to business as usual, save for the newly-installed life support system and mild fucked up glitch powers+adjusting to that. she and magnolia get married at some point probably.

-spurlocke, now having the toxinvein biz sorted out and the favor of a god to call upon [and a bit of help from ezekiel], finally goes back to his homeworld to incite his revolution and overthrow its corrupt state to save what’s left it

-lily actually fucks off to space with ezekiel, at least for the first little while. she'd love to go around seeing/studying more whack phenomenon like toxinvein, and she can also act as something of an...emotional guide to ezekiel, since they aren't nearly as open to experiencing new weird shit as she is.

updated the pinned wiki link to breezewiki 👍. still on fanwiki [unfortunately] just miles less of a pain to browse. i HAVE been pawing through independent wiki sites but unfortunately i haven't foun anything that's like. as straightforward and simple as fanwiki so i'm still hesitant to move :/ miraheze has inactivity rules that can get your wiki locked and potentially deleted if you go too long without editing it and most of the rest have some kind of thing about finding or being your own host which i extremely do not feel like doing for now. so.

[jamverse]

nothing good. some of these will probably be seen again if/when i get to doing more with them
