[milli-string]

Welcome back milli :)

Hwaaaa thank youuuu! I've been gone for too long ;v; but now I'm heerreeeee ✨️✨️

[milli-string]

GUYS I AM OBSESSED WITH HIS LITTLE DANCEY DANCE

Please be an emote PLEASE be an emote- I swear its SO FREAKING CUTE

[milli-string]

ARISE MY BRETHERNS!

ARRRIIIISSEEEEEEE!!!

mini note:

I deeply apologize for the absence. I went back to my main account and did some adjustments, and also focusing on real life stuff. I'll be graduating this spring, so my big focus will be on my academic projects for now. Seeing Lies of P: Overture coming out this summer(?), it's like a graduation gift 🎁 ✨️

Anyways though, we RISEEEE!!!

[milli-string]

A bit late ;o; but Happy Anniversary, Lies of P! 🦋🦋

Thank you for guiding me through a hard time 🫂

[milli-string]

I have a late anniversary drawing coming soon, but I have other projects to finish first. But, the new DLC song, "Lisrim," might just help me procrastinate a bit and finish the anniversary drawing lmaooo.

Anyways, there's this guy on YouTube that breaks down the song, and it's beautiful. I'm no music theorist, but I absolutely enjoy listening to musicians analyzing songs. I love how he stated Pinocchio as the accordion (maybe piano, too) in the song and Geppetto as the cello. Idk the small details like that gets me giddy ahhhhhhhh.

A part of my "Heartache" drawing. Going back to color and adding more to it. But for now, have a sad P mweheh

General spoilers, potential DLC spoilers, potential art book spoilers (since the art book might reveal early content)

some cool stuff under the cut [Of very dubious canon]!!

[long!]

re-translated:

When those eyes that resemble his mother's shines, Always...

seemingly, the fan idea/speculation that Carlo took after his mother (in the sense that he had her eye colour) is here.

More datamined text from the "demo" datamine, which seems to contain text from early builds or FGT (Focus Group Testing?) of the game.

[There is english placeholder text (the right column) that was included by the game, but it's very roughly translated with frequent mix-ups in identifying the subject and the speaker.]

I'm happy that I could see the memories that I had once more. Thank you, my... Pinocchio.

GEPPETTO STRAIGHT UP CALLS P "HIS PINOCCHIO" HERE. (!! this is what i was the most shocked by)

(I'm also confused by the line "It's about getting reading to accept death" on the right column there, but it's cool to see)

[To clarify, in the document, the English column on the left is the English text as included by the game. English column on the right is google translated from the korean text, included by the document maker.]

He also straight up acknowledges Carlo to P -

This child... He's my son. Carlo...

full exchange, translated:

This portrait is... This child... He's my son. Carlo... He was a very lively and intelligent child... When those eyes that resembled his mother shined... Always.. I'm happy that I could see the memories that I had once more. Thank you, my... Pinocchio.

This entire chunk seems like the early/alternate version of P giving "Portrait of a Boy" to Geppetto, and geppetto has far more of a moment of vulnerability and openly discusses Carlo with P.

In the released version, you can tell that he was touched by P finding the portrait, but mentioning Carlo seems to be more taboo. hmm.

"He was an energetic and intelligent child."

damn.

[compare this with geppetto disparaging his own dead son under the tower in the later game. I'll be honest, I don't know what is more unhinged, considering the son-in-a-box thing seems to have been canon since the early trailer]

어, 모처럼 몸이 있어 좋았는데…  Oh, it was nice to have a body like the old days...

Gemini mentioning having a body. ? [ I could be reading this wrong.]

제미니의 기억 결정 - 인연

결정 meaning decision or a crystal, which I think would be an ergo chunk. I wonder if this was part of some sort of "Gemini's memories" quest line (could be totally wrong)

THEY HAD "LOL" IN THE SCRIPT AT ONE POINT

More fun korean onomatopoeia anglicized:

Hidden round8 letters. I wonder who could've written these. I hope their winter wasn't so hard.

[I think these letters would have been included in the FGT (Focus Group Testing) builds of the game to be read by focus group testers.]

I'm surprised that they even mention the "video games causing violence" topic. In North America, it was quite the buzz topic around more than a decade ago, even going back to the late 90s and early 2000s. (Michael Moore's film, which greatly features the topic, was released in 2002.)

Around 10 korean/english references to "pinocchio" 피노키오

"Thank you, my... Pinocchio."

<Info_M>(임시) 피노키오를 보내고 나서 다시 생각해봤다는 내용</> my translation: The reason why he reconsidered after sending Pinocchio

someone called Madrich. I think that text is dialogue options for the npc

[these seem to be item descriptions]

뭐가 필요하세요, 깡통 씨? What do you need, Mr. Tin Can?

Red fox calling us "Mr. Tin Can" lol [also, it looks like the string is marked as "lobby", so maybe she used to be a hotel NPC?]

I searched the term "카를로" (carlo). no hits on "romeo", "lampwick", or "nameless puppet" (l like to pretend like ctrl+f a google doc is a complex thing to do) Probably, this "build" did not include later game stuff.

Giangio referencing "Pinocchio" to the player.

While we wait, how about doing something different with me? You gotta read this. It's [a story] about becoming bone and flesh... Do you feel the same way?

Lots of cute puppet text:

"I DONT NEED IT!!! GO AWAY"

lots of ~ and ♬s

"IHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOU"

Would you like to align Gemini with the Combat Puppet?

Maybe you could combine gemini with a combat puppet in early days? Maybe he could've been the summon instead of the "spectre"? [제미니 갑니다~~~ is SO cute btw]

So I think it is "Thomas" and not "Toma". this is a tiny thing, but I had a feeling. In French, the name "Thomas" is pronounced "Toma", which would've been written as in Hangeul (which is a phonetic script) as 토마. Which was translated phonetically back to "Toma", instead of the french form of "Thomas" for the window NPC (again, tiny thing, but I hope ppl get what I'm saying)

There's that shotgun arm.

[The legion arm used to be called the "slave arm", which doesn't make sense in english, and is borderline offensive at worst. (Actually, it was called the "slave arm" as recently as the LOP twitter account being created, which references it in a tweet.)

Lying about Sophia waking you up vs. Waking up by yourself on the train to Geppetto[!!!]. Now I wonder, what could be important about this distinction?

[BTW, I did not datamine this, I'm not familiar with game programming or development, so all of this is just my supposition. ]

A cut exchange with Venigni that I thought was cute! Venigni revealing that he always knew P was a puppet, and offering to help us. Also what seems like Venigni actually acknowledging Gemini. Both cute exchanges that don't happen in the final game.

(It seems like it might have been a storyline where Geppetto injured his arm, so P has no choice but to reveal himself as a puppet to Venigni and ask him to repair the P-Organ. )

[milli-string]

Completed everyone on the list from my little event! ✨️ thank you so much for joining everyone! I love seeing everyone's Pinos and the outfits, as well as his legion arms.

With how successful the event went, I may open another one in the future. Keep a look out!

Once again, thank you so much for joining! Give lots of love to your puppets! Mwah ❤️

[milli-string]

Just something silly and cute and it’s ok if you can’t do my P but also it be quite cute if it be possible to draw the Bull Shark Pup

from the game Maneater as mini sentient stitched up plush sitting on P’s shoulder. sorry if I brought up this mini unneeded crossover 🦈🤿⚙️🦊

This is definitely one of the cutest requests so far hwaaaaaa! A plushie shark pup! Who wouldn't want one?

Forgive me for the long wait, Jack 🙏 here is your P ❤️ thank you for joining the event! I also loved Maneater. I used to play the game for a while when it first came out.

*gives the shark pup a squish* pup pup puppyyyy

[milli-string]

Hello, I saw the other art you've made and I was wondering if you could draw my P fit? I apologize for the poor pic quality lol. Thank you so much in advance :)

Here's what P is wearing

White lady outfit

Long white hair and deer antler cosmetic

Aegis arm

Here ya go 💕

The deer antlers sprinkles a bit of cuteness on his elegance in the white lady's outfit. Mwah! ❤️ thank you for joining the event 🙏✨️

[milli-string]

I went to see what my P was wearing for your little event and I forgot it was this. As you can see I recently learnt how to add mods. I am sorry, don't feel the need to draw it I just jumped scared myself and now you will be too. I am so sorry

Not gonna lie, you caught me by surprise, lmao! I forget that there are mods in the game 🤣 it's crazy how people can add stuff to the original models, and it blows me away how good it looks when they do.

You made my day, thank you, friend!

P does look really good with cat ears XD as for the skirt, oh man... *grabs towel and wipes sweat* truly amazing lol!

Thank you for joining the event!! The more I look at him the more I'm like, "he's actually kinda cute in that ngl-"

[milli-string]

about that contest ^^ hope I'm still in time

Indeed you are!

Still going down on the list of peeps, heehee. Thank you for joining the event, nosferamtu! Pandemonium is such a pretty legion arm, and definitely one of the harder ones to draw too. Something about black, cyan, and gold that catches the eyes so well.

[milli-string]

Just a reminder that I am no longer accepting requests, and I am now only catching up with those who have requested before the 15th. So anyone after the 15th, I will not be answering or drawing those. I have a list to keep track 📃 ✨️

But! Because of how successful the art event was, I may do another one in the future ❤️ so please, don't fret! I am super thankful and happy to draw for you guys. Plus, it's an opportunity for me to do lots and lots of experiments, as well as improve my skills.

Thank you!

Spinspinspinspinspinspinspin!

[milli-string]

hello, my dear friend! i had a pino screenshot to submit for your drawing event 🫴

i asked him where he wanted to have his picture taken and he led me here! i guess he got together with some friends and things got a little silly with the raspberry jam 😅 i did think it was a bit weird that no one was moving, but they were probably just tired! hope they get a good night's sleep, staying rested is important! 😊

((shitposting aside lmao, my pino of choice has long grey hair, black cat's outfit, and the left arm of steel for the sake of simplicity. please take all the time you need, and hope you're well! ❤️))

I guess the others got a little camera shy and threw a rasberry jam party without you guys :c but that's okay though! I gotchu ❤️ come to my party instead!

Since your boy was sitting, I decided to have him sit as well for this one 💕

Thank you for joining the event, Ika! It's been a pleasure drawing your P, heehee. Hope you like it!
