#aleph null update

[clockworkreapers]

Start of the new chapter! A certain fish is back....

And all the pieces are getting set back up...

[pasteldustart]

some Aleph Null trollcalls with my lil gay aliens

These gave me a chance to both update and tweak their AN designs to be a bit accurate to the world (except Marani but I've got a second trollcall in the works for him) since its been a while.

This webcomic is a huge special interest for me so I had so much fun XD

[undeniablereckoningart]

THERE WAS AN ALEPH NULL UPDATE THEHREEEE DAYS AGO AND I MISSED IT

[solaredarisen]

I think I never showed y'all Ophito's updated looks because I dicted the sailor boy theme a long time ago, cranked his age up to like 90 Sweeps (180± y/o), still keeping the fact he's a Deep Seadweller, & opted for a more Aleph Null-ish look

(I am aware his named was spelled Opitho but Ophito looks better)

[scholar-of-yemdresh]

This Post.

I'm finally doing it! A list of Adult (20s+) Nonbinary/Genderqueer/Transneutral and Trans men rep in SFF books(no romantasy). This will only be limited to main or major characters.

I've not read everything on this list, so some information could be inaccurate or missing e.g I might not know that a character is actually a POC or 40s+. I will also advise to check content warnings because some of the books listed here can get pretty gnarly.

Will occasional be updated

Fantastic Four Vol 1 #304

Sun Feb 6 2022 [11:33 PM] Wack'd: The title page declares this the beginning of a dynamite new era so someone--maybe Englehart himself--expected him to be the next Bryne [11:34 PM] Wack'd: Aaaaaaaand I just noticed when I updated my credits page on the blog I did so from an old copy and now a chunk of 1989 writers are just. Gone. So maybe Englehart lasts through 89. I'll figure it out. Two and a half years is slightly better than one and a half [11:36 PM] Wack'd: Reed and Sue are lavishing attention on Franklin, complimenting him on how big a help he's been against the Wizard and Mephisto and also apparently in a Power Pack issue [11:37 PM] Wack'd: What?! He's still here?!

[11:37 PM] Wack'd: They got permission to stick an eight-year-old in a rubber room indefinitely [11:37 PM] Wack'd: What the shit [11:38 PM] Umbramatic: the fuck [11:39 PM] Wack'd: I kind of assumed this got either cleaned up or forgotten about considering Kristoff hasn't been mentioned in a while [11:39 PM] Wack'd: Have they just been leaving him here while having adventures the past, like, year's worth of issues [11:39 PM] maxwellelvis: They left him a HERBIE [11:40 PM] Aleph Null: see? it’s not like it’s solitary confinement [11:40 PM] Aleph Null: perfectly ethical [11:40 PM] Wack'd: Actually a narrative caption reminds us that whole business with Kristoff being reprogrammed to be Doom and launching the Baxter into space was twenty-five issues ago [11:41 PM] Umbramatic: haha oh wow [11:42 PM] Wack'd: Johnny and Alicia get back from the honeymoon. Things are still. Very awkward with Ben [11:42 PM] Umbramatic: oof [11:42 PM] Wack'd: Johnny and Alicia have decided to get their own apartment. I guess Johnny broke the lease on the literal rats’ nest he had during the Bryne era [11:43 PM] Wack'd: And once Johnny, Alicia, and Franklin have cleared out, Reed and Sue drop a bombshell on Ben [11:43 PM] Wack'd: See, they want to be parents full-time for once, and have decided to offer Ben the chance to be the new leader of the Fantastic Four [11:44 PM] Umbramatic: well [11:44 PM] Wack'd: He decides they're just pitying him and storms off [11:44 PM] Umbramatic: aw [11:45 PM] Bocaj: "We're taking half the team, the rest is all yours bud, byyyye" [11:45 PM] Wack'd: They're not quitting, just shaking up the command structure [11:46 PM] Wack'd: Ben would make all the big decisions. Which. I'm not sure what those are? The Four tend to be fairly reactive when they're not jaunting through space. Not much to do as leader besides just fire the flare gun when something happens [11:46 PM] Wack'd: Like, these guys are less an organization and more a flat share that punches people [11:46 PM] Bocaj: Flat Share With Punching [11:47 PM] Umbramatic: living ideals [11:47 PM] Wack'd: So. Quicksilver kidnaps Alicia. For. Some reason [11:47 PM] Bocaj: HAHAHAHAHA [11:47 PM] Wack'd: Apparently Pietro's been going through some shit in other books [11:47 PM] Umbramatic: god damn it pietro [11:48 PM] Bocaj: This is the period of time where they flirted with turning Quicksilver into a villain, because of him learning his dad's Magneto [11:48 PM] Bocaj: And I think because Crystal cheated on him with a realtor? [11:48 PM] maxwellelvis: "flirted"? [11:48 PM] Bocaj: They never fully pull the trigger [11:48 PM] maxwellelvis: "Never" he says [11:48 PM] maxwellelvis: They just delayed it. [11:48 PM] Wack'd: Do they have realtors on the moon [11:49 PM] Bocaj: It was Wanda and Vision's realtor [11:49 PM] Wack'd: Sick burn on the south Bronx outta nowhere

[11:50 PM] Bocaj: You look really reasonable right now, Pietro [11:51 PM] Wack'd: Oh boy, uh [11:51 PM] Wack'd: So Pietro has decided that since Johnny Storm didn't fight for Crystal when she cheated on him, the subsequent relationship and therefore Pietro getting cheated on is Johnny's fault [11:52 PM] Wack'd: And his revenge is, uh [11:52 PM] Wack'd: To leave Alicia tied up in the south Bronx [11:52 PM] Umbramatic: oh [11:52 PM] Wack'd: Where she is sure to be accosted by "rats" and "roving street gangs" [11:53 PM] Bocaj: That's dumb, Pietro [11:53 PM] Bocaj: This is why nobody likes you [11:53 PM] Bocaj: Not even me [11:53 PM] Wack'd: It's also, uh [11:53 PM] Wack'd: "I'm gonna tie this defenseless white woman up and leave her in the slums to be accosted by gangs" [11:53 PM] maxwellelvis: Racist [11:53 PM] Wack'd: Yes [11:53 PM] Wack'd: That [11:53 PM] Bocaj: That's dumb, racist, and heinous, Pietro [11:53 PM] Umbramatic: yeeeeeeeeeeah [11:53 PM] Bocaj: This is why nobody likes you, not even Magneto [11:54 PM] Wack'd: Fortunately Reed has tracked Pietro by, uh [11:55 PM] Wack'd: Apparently in normal people, poison builds up in the body when they're fatigued, and Pietro, as a speedster, exhales great amounts of that poison to keep himself going [11:55 PM] Wack'd: So Reed tracked that [11:55 PM] maxwellelvis: I don't think that's what lactic acid is, guys. [11:55 PM] Wack'd: I do not know if this has any basis in biology and I'm only moderately curious to find out [11:56 PM] Bocaj: Reminds me of the metal gear geckos that spray lactic acid out of their muscular cow legs [11:56 PM] Bocaj: Somehow. [11:58 PM] Wack'd: Reed and Sue can't do much against a speedster so Ben taunts him, and then pulls up a ramp of asphalt in front of him so when Pietro rushes in to attack him he gets mad air instead [11:58 PM] Wack'd: And then once he's in the air Johnny socks him [11:58 PM] Umbramatic: radical [11:58 PM] Wack'd: ...you could probably have gotten here with Reed and Sue but Alicia's not been a romantic partner to them so it's not as narratively satisfying [11:59 PM] Wack'd: Honestly the ramp thing makes more sense if it's an invisible force field I feel like? Whatever [11:59 PM] Bocaj: Making Pietro run into an invisible wall would be great [12:00 AM] Bocaj: Deeply satisfying [12:00 AM] Bocaj: And running into a wall and breaking every bone in his body is how he met Crystal so like. Thematic? [12:01 AM] Wack'd: In a perfect world Ben and Johnny both getting the win would turn to mutual respect and maybe, like, hey, you both love her so maybe both date her [12:01 AM] Wack'd: That is not what happens

[12:02 AM] Wack'd: Stan and Jack also had a workplace power imbalance and lowkey one-sided loathing so this is as good an issue as ever to dedicate to them [12:02 AM] Bocaj: To the best of my knowing, this makes Johnny the only person never to 'lead' the FF [12:02 AM] maxwellelvis: Next month: SONGS THAT MADE THE HIT PARAAAAAAAAADE! [12:02 AM] Wack'd: Also I guess Reed and Sue are leaving? Even though they said they weren't earlier [12:03 AM] Wack'd: I guess when Ben asked if they were breaking up the team and they said "no" they thought since they'd be replaced it's technically not breaking up the team? [12:03 AM] Wack'd: Anyway, I hope 305 has a wacky rejected applications montage [12:04 AM] Bocaj: So they DID take half the team and leave Ben holding the bag [12:04 AM] Bocaj: It goes right back to being funny [12:19 AM] Wack'd: Oh right there's letters [12:21 AM] Wack'd: All the letters are about how a previous issue reprinted a previous previous issue's letter page [12:21 AM] Wack'd: So moving on

2019 RETROSPECTIVE

[eight-times-nine]

(for the OC ask thing) 7 for Reva, 27 for Zero, 15 for Wolfpack, 35 for Kamini, and I for whichever character you want

7 - Reva: What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?

Reva doesn’t feel nostalgic much, but does remember her younger days when she just flitted and warped throughout the less-populated parts of her homeworld fondly.

27 - Zero: What causes them to feel dread? 

Iterating beyond Epsilon Naught. Zero is a peculiar entity known as an Iterator, nicknamed the “science angels”. Zero represents transinfinite mathematics, and iterates between several forms:

Zero

Aleph Null

Omega Zero

Epsilon Naught

Continuum

Inaccessible

W-Compact

Indescribable

Unfoldable

Omega-Iterable

Supercompact

N-Huge

Contradiction

However, going beyond Epsilon Naught makes her feel scared that she won’t be able to return back to a normal space, because her forms start to twist in and around dimensions, with Contradiction completely disregarding them.

15 - Wolfpack: How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?

In a literal sense, Wolfpack mostly communicates in Morse code via sonar pings from its submarine-like organs, and generally these are very short speeches ((”ALLY”, “SINK DOWN ICE”, “LOCKED”)). It can also vocalise orally, through which it does say longer, more complete sentences, but r e a l l y slowly.

In terms of how its speech generally is, it will always be constantly assessing what it’s saying and what message it’s trying to convey and updating what it’s saying on the fly.

35 - Kamini:  How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive?

Kamini is just as likely to get more excited than the friend that came to her, and will often do extensive research on the thing her friend comes to her with just to be able to maintain a super-hype conversation with them.

I - ALL: Do you prefer to keep them in their canon universe?

For all my characters, I try to keep them in the universe I designed them in. However, if the universe breaks down or I lose interest in it, sometimes I’ll keep the character. Zero is one of these characters, along with an older OC named Jessica.

[clockworkreapers]

WELL THAT WAS FAST

Eyo webcomic update! Just a quick one with new introductions to some old friends... haha puns aaaa they are gonna kill each other eventually. Behold the hot people (subjective)

[feathery-dreamer]

“Huh, I’ve heard of Killing vectors, I would assume Killing fields is also a thing.” (both this quote and the strip’s title are references to this mathematical entity)

“It looks like the situation is getting tensor and tensor.” (another vector pun)

“Well, this has taken a rather odd tangent.  But all in all, it does look like a good sine of things to come.  Cos I like math jokes.” (trigonometry yeeeeee)

“Aleph-null bottles of beer on the wall, Aleph-null bottles of beer; Take one down, and pass it around, Aleph-null bottles of beer!”

[clockworkreapers]

New scene up on the webcomic! shorter than last update but hey we're still going! Also a lot more fantrolls in the background, thank you again to everyone who offered their OCs!

[clockworkreapers]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i finally got to update- I know its the end of the month and its short- life has just been a big juggling act and I'm doing like 5 dif things at once behind the screen while also trying to stay sane- ANYWAYS have Cyrusk even tho his name has not been mentioned yet and is still "??????"

[clockworkreapers]

Update time! This closes out chapter 1!

[clockworkreapers]

Where does one join your art server? Or is it exclusive?

I do not have an art server I do however run two servers that are fantroll oriented. Both are open to everyone, just depends what you are looking for.

The fantroll discord server is a general community hub for creatives and those who just generally enjoy fantrolls be that art, writing Alternate universe or world-building. People are also free to advert commissions, adopts, projects and so on in the server. That server is for general fantroll discussion and chatter where people can just share their characters and ideas in peace, all fantrolls are welcomed canon doesn’t matter, just have fun. The one thing it isn’t is an RPserver, it can however act as a hub area to connect to RP servers if you wish to host a game or find other people to RP with.

https://discord.gg/fantroll

The other server is the comic server specifically for Aleph Null where you can talk with others who read and work on the comic. People can still share art, writing, world-building and their own ideas but it’s moreso about the AN universe and comic than a general fantroll server. There you also get updates sooner (by like a few minuets) and sometimes lil teasers of work in progress and more info on my characters (tho in either server if I’m prompted to chat about my ocs I will go off)
