idk I’m trying this lineart-less style, but meh

I don’t even bother explaining to the kids, that this is prealpha/alpha1 times, they turn it inside out anyway 🤷‍♀️

[loodgack]

prealpha/alpha 1 times, where Neighbor is pulling the WORST jokes, and Player is just rolling his eyes (but he likes to be around)

Mephisosed, because I barely draw him, but I love drawing him😳

I didn't even write the plot of the metallurgist au.

so, it takes place during socialism. free speech and free thinking is forbidden. Theodore is a worker in a local factory, in his 30's. Nicholas is the son of the man's boss. rumor has it, he's a spoiled brat and selfish just like his dad. The dude is turning 30. (ages don't matter this much in the story, but my stalkers whine if they don't see it). Nicky is sent to the factory to find mistakes in Theodore's work - he won't have an easy time, since the man is the BEST worker in the entire factory.

it's a freeform au, i mean, it won't have houses to break in to, neither basements. but it'll deal with the topic of "don't judge by first sight/what you hear from others., because others often want to cause harm"

here's some summary about my opinion on different HN eras.

prealpha-alpha 1 (faust era) -- love it. taste it, feel it, watch gameplays. play. IT'S FANTASTIC. also, that's where the Neighbor x Player ship originated from. and honestly, the deeper you get, the more you'll see why. that Neighbor had CHARISMA. damn. there's so much to add to this era. it's literally freedom itself.

alphas-betas (family story) -- I absolutely love it, but it's an entirely separated story for me. entirely. I don't do many fics which that are based on this era (only the kri origins) and I don't even draw art from this era. I did, but I think it never made it to the net. they were sad family :(

final game -- I get the message, but I barely touch this one. like, what to do here, story finishes itself. it's full. not much to add. it's ok, but if I want to make art, I mostly touch the earliest storyline, the one which others in the old fandom touched too.

HG -- yesyes love it. Boss au. smentin. fixing the boys, expanding the characters. there's much to do. what is Mayak? let's make a story. why is Mayak? let's get the boys there and find out. URBEX!!!

HN2 -- I should actually do something with the test build, that town is so nice!!! like, write a slice of life story but the current HN2.....no. maybe the drug theory for Quentin being high. that's for fun only.

CARTOON -- no.

books -- not really.

comics -- no.

[loodgack]

I've always imagined Ike and Theodore walking and Theo is just tossing horrible jokes left and right

Theodore:...and you can't spell horsemen without semen.

and Ike reacts: :000 (he doesn't get the jokes)

updated pages list

[loodgack]

I planned a much bigger render for easter, but...people love to waste others' time irl. so I couldn't have finished it :c

HAPPY EASTER, GUYS! 🥕

[loodgack]

Quentin, while walking through the woods, comes across Easter eggs that were eventually removed from the game and are now guarded by a crow with pepper spray! how wild!

[loodgack]

yeah, it's hard to find the balance with Smentin and Glued, when NxP js just SDSBDHVDSAASGGGDAHDNJHGHHHH 💓

[loodgack]

[loodgack]

people really like the red one, so I'm going with the red one

honestly, overall this was ten days to make.

I think I have 5~ full days in just the editing. I'll post the analysis video soon.

What is Neighbor x Player?

TLDR.

Neighbor x Player (later, Nicky) is as old as HN, the ship originates from prealpha/alpha 1 (as the early fanfics and arts suggest) the ship is between the Neighbor and the Player character. later people started calling him Nicky, because most of the community didn’t know the canon storylines, and that they changed (this issue is present). don’t blame me, I did what they did, I didn’t invent anything. I personally ship the Player (Nicky, Michael, calling him whatever!) with the Neighbor, both are 30+. no exception. I usually mention the AU under the artwork, but feel free to ASK ME if you have any questions.

not tldr:

this is my last explanation attempt in the topic, because I see the confusion on the newcomers’ face. after this, I won’t care if someone misunderstands things on purpose. I did what I could.

Neighbor x Player aka Neighbor x Nicky is the first ship that the old, first generation HN community has created.

[shipping is when you pair two characters because of reasons, and want them to be very close friends or lovers.]

Neighbor x Player is as old as the HN game itself. already during prealpha fans began to pair them, and as soon as Player got a body in alpha 2, people started using that look on fanarts. as soon as he got a name, they started using that too.

Player went through so many changes during canon development, the body was the same, but the soul / character role itself kept changing. 

this is why Player is different in everyone’s fanart and fics. 

it is not “ the Nicky,” people use the name now, because that’s how the Player character is called now. 

for me, and most people, it has nothing to do with modern HN.

Error world, where Neighbor asks the Player to erase him from the game shows their real relationship, because HN has fourth wall breaking. the game lets you know, that both play a role, like actors, and in reality they don’t hate each other.

in longer words, it is a ship of the two men, based on the facts that there were only these two characters in the game, chasing each other in a big house. Both vice versa stalking each other throughout the gameplay. that was HN for long time. people assumed Player (aka Nicky) was around 30 (which is correct) and Neighbor being a bit elder. it was also crystal clear after a point, that they don’t really hate each other. I can tell for sure, tumblr, the main shipping source site, most likely stopped at these informations.

I arrived a bit later, and the chill community with accepting people, with this only ship in the form of great fics and fanarts, immediately lured me.

it’s a quality ship.

and if HN can have 7438975982 storylines in canon, then so can the fans.

are these two characters a couple in one fanfic, and then a family in another? why the fuck not? it’s fiction! AU’s exist, and the topic is already overdiscussed.

And this ship [as I saw] was based on the hunter - prey situation, which is a basic type of shipping. Neighbor being the one, who hides and protects his secrets, and Nicky/Player being the stubborn, sassy guy who tries to enter his basement. they were there for each other. Neighbor in most cases being the alpha male, and Player/Nicky being the other half of him, the breakable person with more feelings. (remember, we didn’t have a single kid character in the old HN. not even kid forms of said characters.)

…

the ship was much more. it was burning passion that felt like playing with fire, because it was variable and full of possibilities. also because the characters were just like that. people didn’t know much details about these two yet, so as you can see in the fanworks, everyone added headcanons and more stuff into this pairing, slowly building it.

wow, crazy! it’s an average ship, huh?!

I’m not here to go into details, because this post would be 10 pages if I did. if you make some research about it, and don’t immediately blindly judge, then it turns out to be a basic ship, which 2017 tumblr was full of. not different, than the rest of the crack ships. still legit, since prealpha/alpha 1 Player existed and bachelor Neighbor did too.

no matter, how many death threats do the haters send to fans, and no matter, how negatively they try to show this pairing to newcomers, it is what I described it to be. a simple ship about two men.

now, some will say that things in HN changed since 2017, and I must add, that they will endlessly change, by the looks of things. HN turned inside out. with the launch of HN2, the cartoon, and later games, more things will change. (edit: I was right :/ )

this won’t stop people from getting back to their roots, or the times they keep in their heart and remember as the golden times.

nobody can tell anyone, what to like, I hope everyone knows this.

don’t like it - scroll past. easy as that. but from now on, if anyone just decides to hate on this, or any ship in any fandom without getting to know the reasons and the background first OR listening to the shipper’s explanation, then that’s the condemned thing, not the ship itself. 

–

p.s.- so far, in the HN community, I blocked two people, who really did ship kids with adults, and 3 people were reported and removed from a certain site. we don’t do that here. or anywhere else.
