Lib and Auth Unity :3

Thee toxic and the healthy. Yin and yang. Perfectly balanced /jj

[aur-el-ias]

oppunity? more like, opportunity to exploit your enemy's weaknesses. all is fair in love and war and every weapon in your arsenal is on the table. it may be mad, it may be mutually assured destruction, but whenever have they stopped dancing around fires? they are drawn to it, destruction. they herald the doom of civilizations. they are the four horsemen.

SHARE YOUR EXTREMIST POLYCULE (THE BEST SHIP) HEADCANONS RIGHT NOW GRRRRRRR 👹👹👹

YES YES IT'S THE BEST ALRIGHT HERE THEY GO

i don't have much to say about their overall dynamic. i'm very canon-compliant, y'know, although i do have some reserve. but i have to say, when i read fics, nothing get me better than some juicy evil blueman (or like, antagonist/anti-hero blueman? i'm not sure of the terminology here) and to have darker, more realist themes around the extremists and their platonic, romantic or intimate bond

headcanons under the cut <3

Thank you for the ask, fictionalgea!

headcanons babyyy:

Commie cooks because noone else knows how to cook a proper meal

Commie brings the stability in the relationship (calm and very loving), Ancap is the breadwinner (and is kinda the smartest), Authright gives them all a framework and makes the relationship go round (somehow) and Ancom brings the joy and fun of it all (with and without drugs)

Authright does the chores ─ being very militarily formated, i guess he'd be house-proud (even if he is pretty hygiene-indulgent with himself and his room). for some time he asked Ancom to do it because "qui's not a 'man' so qui's a woman so qui gotta do the chores" but it didn't work and Ancom is too messy anyways

on the topic of Authright, he do be having emotional damage (daddy issues) and identity crises (being jew and gay). for that, he bottles up a lot but ends up getting a lot of help from Ancom

Ancap does have some trauma too! but he's too good at façade-ing and playing pretend so the others barely notice anything (except Commie a bit but he's waiting for Ancap to come to him on his own terms)

also, Authright prefers 1-on-1 dates/going outs and hates public display of affection even in their house

on the other hand, Ancap and Commie yearn for signs of affection (they got an arrangement to surprise each other so that they don't yearn too much)

Commie got the biggest bed so all the pyjama parties are done there (otherwise they all sleep in their own bed)

each xmas, Commie offers Das Kapital to Ancom as a running gag tradition

Ancom tried to have pets multiple times but qui couldn't keep them because it bothered at least one of the others

also, Ancom still seeks reassurance from the anarchist polycule when things get too bad with the extremists (the anarchists trash on the extremists the whole time)

every so often, Ancap has to go back to Ancapistan for prolonged periods of time (for business reasons or to hang out with the libetarians) and every time, WITHOUT FAIL, when he comes back, a prank waits for him (good and bad tricks) and it's very funny

um. that's a lot. i hope it's enough for you to chew on hehe

honesly if i had any plot idea i'd write fanfics of them

[centercide]

context

a hc in which the dead centrist is the same person as the centrist in the rap

some note tidbits

- deadcen knows the radcen greg brothers (and even worked with them. sort of. the only one who knows of their whole brother deal)

- the only centrist who is able to gather / meet up with the extremists. esp multiple present & all at once (addendum: that is an incredibly difficult task to achieve in our hc of the centricide universe)

- the only centrist who is able to communicate to said extremists and prevent things from happening (i.e the rap) and is effective due to always being in the dead center all while coming out unscathed (even if deadcen is a little bullied after)

- very happy. very chill. listens to mainstream music. an intermediary (literally)

- the dinkleberg post ruined my life (something along the lines of " the centrist from the rap sorta comes around to water their gardens but if anything mildly inconveniences the extremists they shake their fists and go "dead centrist...!!")

- while counted as strange for being able to miraculously hang out and NOT die via the extremists hands, deadcen is very beloved and well respected ("WHERE IS DEAD CENTRIST!!" "WHERES DEAD CENTRIST" "HE'S DEAd????")

VN Update

Ok, here's a more in-depth look at the visual novel (still a WIP) since the last post was too short. Bunch of dev stuff + in-progress screenshots below the cut.

CGs so far:

(still working on these + the car one + the bgs ;-;)

Some of the bgs might just be blurry polarized irl photos (kind of like og higurashi), I'm not drawing more backgrounds than I have to.

Graphic design (is my passion):

(the cursor cycles between different pairings and the default anti-centrism ball depending on what you hover over/which screen you're on)

Misc. :

I've got the general story + scenes already mapped out but writing and coding everything might take a while (aiming for a ~10k word script?, currently have 2.5k). Hoping to have something playable by Q2 2024 (This originally said March lol).

QnA

q: how done is it?

a: ~30%

q : plot summary?

a: You (the player but also just Me) fall asleep while studying and hang out w/ the extremists and watch them bicker with each other. It's all a dream,, or is it?? (very clever meta writing)

q: can I help with development? :3

a: I'm hoarding all the creative control, it's all mine. (sorry). Playing it when I finally get around to releasing a build + adding some feedback would already be more than enough help. :]

q: why make this at all?

a: (what no friends does to mf) I thought It'd be fun to work on! I got into centricide around mid-2020 and while I thought I left it behind.. idk my obsession with it is back now I guess. (real answer: authunity. I'm not even joking those two are my only reason for doing any of this.) also I just genuinely like visual novels as a medium (massive weeb).

"look at my extremists dawggg we're losing the centricide 😭😭😭" -jreg 2 probably

[belowinch]

Silly eepy extremists in love (if you even care /JJJ)

They all have different type of dynamics with eachother and show affection very differently, feel free to ask about it :b!!!

Also any Extremist poly will be tagged specifically as Extremist poly FBSKDN,,, I like all the pairings and experiment a lot with them ^^

Wacky duo bonus ;

[aur-el-ias]

centricide ask again! do you think there are parental bonds between the ideologies (other than Nazbol and his parents)? either "blood" or spiritual relatives. or are there none, Nazbol included?

ask me a question about centricide because i'm the closest thing ya got to jreg and everything i say makes complete sense.

Centricide spoilers and my own fanfiction "monopoly man" spoilers under the cut.

OKAY I'm really excited because this is a concept I want to explore in Monopoly Man, but it might get lost in all the subtext (which I tend to overstuff) so let me scream my truth.

There is a duality of humanity-divinity/ideology that exists in every identity of each Centricide character. You see this most clearly in Centricide 6, Identity, where N*zi finds out he's Jewish. Jreg combined a human element (DNA, physical biology) to ideological identity (political and moral belief). In a sense, we are what we believe. When your beliefs are inconsistent with your reality, something has to change. We see this happen when N*zi becomes a Z*onist, and Jreg's Blueman is obviously a criticism of the state of Israel.

In dialogue, the characters also almost talk exclusively about politics and in political terms. However, because they are political ideologies, they are talking about themselves. This sort of self-divulging creates an interesting dialogue of desire. Personal desire can be radically different from political desire. Most Centricide characters don't realize this, and that is why you see a lot of struggles with identity with the characters. Ancap famously establishes Ancapistan and starts to exploit minorities and women after the statists give him a dressing-down. Ancom becomes Post-Left. The only ideology that does not go through an identity crisis is Commie, but that is because Commie has a very solid belief in his identity that is supported by his knowledge of history.

In Monopoly Man Chapter 4, Ancap and Ancom have a conversation about Ancap's empathy. Ancap can only empathize with Ancom due to Ancom's ability of Mutual Aid. In this conversation, Ancap argues that it's not about politics anymore, and urges Ancom to stop talking about it. He has realized that his personal desire, care, and empathy for Ancom exceeds his principles of non-interference. But to talk about the person's desires as an individual is a breakaway from high-minded political theory that most Centricide characters engage in. It's almost a radical betrayal of their identity.

So what does this mean about familial ties? In my interpretation of the world in general, familial connections and love are something that is human in essence. As political ideologies and demi-gods, the ideologies struggle with this humanity-divinity conflict. Is it better to be "godly" and disengage, go the Buddhist route and sever your attachment from the world in favour of your ideals? Or is it more important to think about the people that you will impact? Your neighbours, lovers, and friends?

I think instead of family, due to the complex nature of political ideologies being born from each other but is not necessarily related or the same, I use the term "kinship." It feels quite spiritual and abstract, which I feel matches the vibe of political ideologies. So for example, Nazbol is both kin to N*zi and Commie, but is not the necessary result of the two joining together to unite and create a separate ideology. Commie and Ancom share a special connection, or "kinship", through leftist unity, but is not necessarily brothers or blood-related. The same goes with libunity and authunity. Posadist is kin to Commie but is not kin to Ancom, etc.

I think that as part-humans, they can have their own families separate from their beliefs and actions as political ideologies, but again, it can never be completely divorced. Thinking of the extremist polycule as parents and I think that'd be really cute. Their child's gonna be a mess of conflicting ideologies and end up as a centrist LMAO.

Thank you for the question! I always love your questions and seeing you on the dash <3

Which ice cream does the main 4 pick?

ancom picks the uwu hands, ancap picks mommy milk, blueman picks femboy sweat and commie picks butter pecan

[ezicorifl]

So yeah, I want to make some stickers with some characters fron centricide, so I think I might need so feedback about what stickers is more interesting

1 - meme "stongs" with posadist

2 - чмоня Lil nazbol(schmuck but more cute, I won't translate in on English, I want to make russian version

3 - take molotov 'cause u r epic with ancom

4 - all extremists with phrase "friends"(like in famous serial)

Maybe I'll create more a little bit later

[libunityfan69]

guys what if... what if the extremists were magical girls... guys what if centricide pretty cure au 

ive been thinking of these for the better part of this year and i think its time to get them out into the world

despite him being my least favourite character... i think i like commies design the most

and some super old sketches of them with slightly different designs 

[blurrymango]

So. Messy sketch of my Homestuck OCs as the Centricide extremists.

My vision, do you understand?

[laulo821]

what do you think about lib unity?

honestly, it's maybe my favourite pairing of the extremists (if we don't take into account the extremists polycule supremacy)

i think they have a strong dymanic with each other, bringing out a more youthly / "summer love" type of vibe that any pairing with the auth can't mimic so authentically. refreshing when reading non-angst (or low angst) fics; and in tune with the intended funny tone of Centricide!

also, i think ancom is the best extremist to bring out ancap's humanity. to make him change (e.g. become pink ancap with queers' wellbeing in mind) or to reinforce him in his immoral traits (e.g. ancom's childish behaviours could highlight his ephobophilic preferences)

for ancom... ancap's the best party, qui can chill with him, use drugs with him, do some anarchist praxis with him, whereas you could consider commie as unrequired love / a simp yet abusive ex-partner; and, well, blueman is just downright awful for quem. plus, thanks to the libunity, ancom can make things better for quis communities by using ancap's fortune (although it could betray quis morals). and ancom having to put up with ancap's friends (a.k.a. hoppean) is funny as heck

anyways, have a bonus quick sketch of libunity

Thank you for the ask, aur-el-ias!
