[AU Masterpost]

Little late this year, but joining the festivities: Ides of March is an awkward day to be SHSL supreme leader probably.

I am 95% certain its canon maki pulls on her hair as a nervous tick and we should draw it more. Also, don't worry about the parallels to Kokichi taking one for the team to keep blame off Maki for something again or the spread of Uncomprehending why someone would do something nice for you to their own detriment (but this time in lighthearted context) its a gag comic its fine

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE TOWER ( S4M COMIC )

PART 2

( Plaintext: Just another day in the Tower (S4M Comic)

Part 2 )

PS: This has a lot of my personal HCs LMAO don't worry about it but if it confuses you just see my talk under the cut! Actually I HIGHLY recommend you read it PLS AND also Part 1( linked)

[ ID: Fanart done in traditional medium, uncolored, with pencil and slightly rough sketching. It's a comic of the game Smile For Me featuring in part 2, Kamal Bora and Dr.Habit living together. The panels alternate colors between cool blue, warmer red and orange tones and gray because of how they were photographed.

The designs have canon style but the changes in the artists interpretation are as follows. Kamal has a lot of acne, eyebags and thick brows. For this comic his hair is in a ponytail and he casually wears sleeveless top with sweatpants. Habit has the most change- Here he has a muppet-like appearance with fur, longer hair, cheek patches with a splash of freckles, stitches and scars on hands plus an X shaped one near his mouth. His teeth are uneven with a bigger snaggletooth too. His long coat is made of some soft, scratchy material and it's collar is bush-like with feathery parts holding flowers.

The comics part 2 starts with a textbox announcing in the SpongeBob Narrator voice," An unspecified time later" in allcaps. Habit stands tall and smug, smirking as he points a hand to his head in mock pity, "Oh Kamochka.. always so gullible to my charms.( he says all this in a singsong) And I did not even DO anything this time.. I was just STANDING there~" he says, speaking all throughout with characteristic spelling errors. Kamal simply rolls his eyes in response, holding a mug of coffee.

He leans back, one little finger on the table as he takes a long sip. " SO..."

He sits upfront, glaring straight at Habit with a full grin and folded-up hands clutching each other set on the table, mug kept aside. There is a hint of playfulness. " H. O. W. " He asks.

Habit yet again micheviously folds his hands, angled up to his face, and smiles wide like a cat, eyes closed-- like his ingame smug pose. A characteristic emote is shown with a face resembling the same expression. " Now, Now... That's not how you treat a gentle-puppet..." A simplified chatbubble with a small Kamal face is seen, he looks unfazed. He says," what do you want."

Habit turns his head slightly and presses a finger into one cheek, brushing up the fur on it. He slightly winks as he states, " Cold. " Kamal responds openly jovially Now, raising his brow in a light exasperation as he replies, "SIGHH OK come here!!"

He warms Habit's cheeks in the next panel by kissing the spot. Habit in turn holds his back, leaning down a bit. They look serene with hearts drawn all around and a light swirling shape. Kamal is noted to be 'on the kissing stool'.

Kamal smiles lopsidedly, hand resting contendly on a cheek leaning to one side as he holds his mug once again, " No "Thank you, honey" for lil ol' me...?". Habit is beside him, flapping his hands fast in an infectious happiness. A smile emote is next to him.

Next panel is a sequence with solely simplified small faces in chatbubbles. Habits face is drawn egg like while Kamals is a rectangle, both have dot eyes. Habit knowingly asks, preening over it, " What was that? You want me to call you HONEY?" Kamal smiles somewhat awkwardly in his confused response, "No- I mean, yes, I mean, N-- " he cuts himself off, " You've been calling me that for YEAARS!!" Habit giggles, hand over mouth, " Oh, hum...for YEARS?... Like we're...( he pauses and exagerrates this with a wavy underline) married?" Kamal has clouds of steam coming off him now as he puffs up, very embarrassed. A bunch of exclamation marks come from him. Habit finally stops teasing him and smiles a bit as he says, "...Thank you honey. You can stop heating like boil egg now..."

Then we go back to the regular artstyle. Habit looks up as he scoffs with a signature crooked smile, putting his palms out in a way that expresses what he says " I literally lived through Forsaw and Bahd... You can NOT trick me. ANYWAY"

He looks to the viewers side as his smile becomes wider, angling a hand up to one eye as if to make a focusing-the-eye-on-you gesture. His other hand unscrew out one of his glass eyeballs. " I guess you could say,..." End ID]

--

Explanations and talk under the cut as always!

Right...let's go panel by panel like before, friend!

Panel 1: THE NICKNAMESSSS You bet Kamal calls him " DAWL ( Doll )" as well, hey he has the accent for it!! Doll eyes....

Oh, and Kamochka is a diminutive of Kamal's name taken from the Russian tradition of casual diminutives! The -ka suffix is intimate and for very close relations. It implies smallness in a loving way as well, this is what I recall.

Panel 4: UwU

Panel 6: Making up for that rude scare, heheehe. Anyone remember that Dirty Dancing draw I did of them where Kamal reached up to him through, like, those wheeled gym scooter things? Fuckin asshole, always making Kamal feel short HAKSKSJS So, so many silly ways to Smooch the Habit.

Panel 8: HAHA I flirted with myself to come up with this dialogue in the DEAD OF NIGHT so even though this part is awkward IMO I hope you appreciate the beautiful self-love of me DROPPING PICK UP LINES ON MYSELF

Also nah, they're not Actually married. Yet. Or never. They just ended up kind of acciDENTally living together. Best Bros and sometimes husbands even.

Panel 9: You can NAWWTTT TRICK (❓️‼️❓️( prominent red exclamation marks and question marks emojis)) HIM

* is duped by computer virus *

* buys Gerry's shitty X ray machine scam *

ETC.... TBH I forgot that naïveity of his when I drew this, maybe in this AU he's a Little More Fortified TM due to the ragdoll twins Forsaw and Bahd( fandom OCs with my own spin on them!!) but you can still Totes Jape Him DW he just got lucky HAKSKSJS The twins would say so anyway ; ) ( winky emote)

Panel 10: HHHHH-

Yup! His body parts are detachable. They're in pretty tight though so I don't advise removing them without um, asking him, LOL.

Plus they could crawl back to him and now that would be Ough....for you🥸 ( disguised emoji with big moustache and glasses indicating amusement here )

HIS HANDS WERE AN ADVENTURE TO DRAW THROUGH ALL THIS WITH THE DETAILING HOOO BOY--

( Plaintext: His hands were an adventure to draw through all this with the detailing hoooo boy--)

STAY TUNED FOR PART 3( THE ENDING ) EVERYONEEEE THATS ALL

( Plaintext: Stay tuned for part 3( the ending ) everyoneee that's all )

And can you figure out HOW Habit knew they were sneaking on him....? ; ) (winky emote)

TBH I didn't plan that part very well so I Forgave You Already if you don't know HAJSJSJ BE free!!!!

[iloveyouemanuelmarco]

I know it's gonna sound corny/sappy at the very least to certain people which I do understand since so many people are super attached and addicted to the internet(I am one of them actually so I'm not one to judge somewhat depending on the scenario), but as someone who was introduced to Undertale and soon Deltarune by a former bff I had back in 2017 that led me to soon becoming obsessed with the all the alternate universes people came up with and who was heavily influenced as a young self-taught artist who was growing into more communities and finding so many talented individuals because of such an experience...some of the stuff Toby "Radiation" Fox wrote as lines in the admittedly poorly-coded yet still somehow amazing indie games come off like this because even if I'm not as actively obsessed over the specific story being told anymore, it's still always gonna have a special place at the bottom of my heart when it comes to childhood internet memories atleast♡(Fun fact: When I was a young and dumb child, I used to have an image of my head of the creator himself being super mysterious and full of cryptic talents and skill or whatever but now it's funny looking back when years later, I'm here and realized the he's just a nerdy and awkward but seemingly alright dude who represents himself as a white pixelated dog haha).

"It's you! Despite everything, it's still you"♡.

[egg-emperor]

sorry but the idea Eggman could genuinely be a father figure to his arch nemesis the way things are in canon when he literally tries to kill him all the time and is very specifcally threatening and vocal in this desire and is the blatant intent in his actions constantly, was proud and amused at the idea that he was "nothing but floating chunks in space" when he thought he'd really killed him in SA2, and laughed at him becoming fully corrupted in Frontiers and saying he only wishes he could've been the one to finish him off is very odd and confusing to me

[amplexadversary]

I finally finished The Outer Worlds and despite some criticisms I really enjoyed it.

I think I would have preferred if there were more interesting junk/variety of items to deal with and if my companions actually used ammo; I'm used to fairly scroungy games like Bioshock, so I ended the game with almost the maximum amount I could carry (I hit the limit and had to sell several times) as well as over 100k bits.

I also feel like a lot of the unique weapons and armor were kind of lackluster. If they had scaled better than their generic variants (which you can find better versions of later in the game), I might have been more satisfied.

Also wouldn't have minded having more places to put stuff I picked up and for the inventory/containers I did get to be easier to sort manually (I can't move things to different pages in my inventory if I'm carrying too many different things! And I can't auto-sort by consumable effect! Augh!)

I'm not great at FPS combat (I still hold that VATS from Fallout is probably the best accessibility feature ever made for an FPS and it is not close) but I feel like the balance of encounters needed a little work. Some encounters (the two bosses most notably) that I was expecting to be challenging were not, and the encounters that I did have a hard time with sometimes felt like they were difficult for the wrong reasons.

By the end of the game I was basically only using the medical inhaler in the split second I got to heal my companions before they would inevitably be downed by enemy fire because the animation was so damn long. Whenever my character needed healing it was basically necessary for me to go through the menu (faster, and I get to handpick which consumables I'm using). There is not really any good way to heal companions in this game so I essentially had to resolve myself to expect them to be downed and finish fights alone.

I like the idea of the flaw system but I wish it was more robust than being mostly enemy and damage type weaknesses with a few more interesting options (I decided to bring an anime man to this game so obviously I took the food addiction debuff.) I would likely have taken the cynophobia debuff as well if I had felt any of the perks were worth it, but those unfortunately weren't very tempting either.

I did really enjoy the story of the game, but I feel like a huge factor in that was that I happened to bring a character who meshed really well with the setting and everyone else's problems, and I still had moments where I felt the need to ditch role-playing choices to actually engage with the game better (there are not a *ton* of side missions, and I frequently found myself thinking "okay, [character] would absolutely tell this guy to fuck off but I want the game to last more than 20h"). To offset that though there are definitely moments where the plot and my excuses as to why the guy was even there lined up really beautifully (especially on Gorgon and especially on the Hope. I'm imagining some punched-out monitors on the Hope in particular.)

Assuming the sequel is likely going to be more polished mechanics-wise and have more to do and interact with (not an unreasonable expectation in video games, sequels are more often than not an improvement on the original), I'll probably want to play it.

Having Danganronpa thoughts on this fine half past two in the morning

The thing is I know the AI Chihiro made is not *literally* named Alter Ego, and that Alter Ego is just what any sentient AI in the DR universe is called, as Kyoko says basically as soon as we meet AE

Yet in my head I very much think of it as Her Actual Name and so it felt very off near the end of V2 when they started calling Junko's AI "Alter Ego Junko" because it was like. No you can't use that name it's not yours. (When it literally by definition was)

I think for me, it's about how Alter Ego is very much a second character in my mind, while AI Junko is just an extension of Junko. Like she's not actually Junko bc Junko's dead, but she's not really anyone else either. Her existence as a virus and her ability to influence the simulation makes her kind of feel more like, say, some force of nature, filtered through the lens of what Junko had been, rather than something alive.

But with (Chihiro's) Alter Ego it's more like, this is another person who Is Not Chihiro Fujisaki. AE was made in Chihiro's image, and thus mirrored her in some ways, but also definitely didn't in others

Junko's AI was meant to copy Junko as she had been when she was alive, like a frozen piece of time. Chihiro, however, was trying to make an AI that would be able to learn and update its way of thinking as it received new information, and thus it was in Alter Ego's nature to continue to change and grow after Chihiro was gone and no longer could. And even when Chihiro was alive, I don't think she was trying to make Alter Ego's personality entirely match her own- it seems at least to me that AE was made to have a less timid personality than Chihiro's own, along with of course being more curious. They're both people, but not the same person.

[spontaneousglitterbees]

I've been meaning to ask, is Kokichi's black ring meant to be an ace ring? I only ask because it's black and on the finger one would typically wear an ace ring.

This is probably funnier if Kaito doesn't know about Alter Ego yet

TL;DR: yes!! Very happy you noticed~

GGY week day 6: Everybody lives/nobody dies

so this is a pretty specific au that needs some backstory. basically i have this theory that dr rabbit hasn’t just not shown up yet but is actually dead. since vanny killed glitchtrap at the end of hw2, i have this theory i’ve posted about before that vanny killed dr rabbit pre-sb and that’s how gregory got freed

so in this case that didn’t happen, PLUS rab is a good guy. gregory is a bit on edge about rab being there at first, but eventually after rab doesn’t kill people and is away from vanny and mimic and 3 star fam is actually kinda pleasant (not that he’d say that) he’s like wait a minute.

and instead of being ‘dormant’ and not 3 star fams enemy he kinda just becomes apart of the family. no ulterior motives no nothing he just is on their side for real now and prefers them. along the way he’s able to be a real kid and play gregory’s video games and draw and he likes it a lot. so he just starts to realize hey i don’t like to kill people and want to be normal. gregory can we go to walmart and buy shopkin blind box? i think my favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip.

meanwhile gregory having someone that hijacked his body and ruined his life still in there when he’s supposed to be free is very anxiety inducing. i think he’d hate rab taking over without permission (which he did a lot at first) and it’d scare him and cause him to be on edge a lot. eventually rab starts to actually care and respects gregory’s boundaries and figures out that being nice is pretty cool. it’s also easier for both of them. and eventually after things blow over a bit i think gregory would work on a temporary robot form for rab to roam around on his own (like a cheap animatronic robot. like those little dogs) and he’d get some peace.

but i think rab is always going to share gregory’s head with him since he wouldn’t have his own hands to draw and play video games so. i think that becomes easier for both of them and feels less intrusive.they bond a lot

Tuning the arm 🦾 Anything is possible with Souda™ technologies! Komaeda exploited his mechanical arm to bully Hinata so Usami AI hacked his arm to mess up with the setting as a punishment. Now Komaeda is stuck at the ultimate mechanic's lab😔

guy and his doll, Strange Romance/ habismal

( plaintext: guy and his doll, Strange Romance/ habismal )

[ ID1: Digital fanart of the game Smile For Me with Dr Habit and Kamal Bora. But as AU versions from the artists AU Roseverse.

Now there are changes from canon in the artist's AU versions. Kamal looks older with wrinkling skin and sagging jowls, a more bent and crooked nose. His build is thicker too. His short and wavy, messy hair is greying and shot through with white streaks. He has relatively bushy brows. His eyes look tired. His face shows some chin stubble and pockmarks, some scars from picking them.

Habit is a marionette type of doll. His face is gaunt with a prominent chin. He too has more wrinkles and fur. The pupils of his eyes are dark brown. The undersides of the eye-pieces have deep eyebags too. Two round stickers make up both his freckled cheeks. He wears deep red lipstick and his mouth shows big, broken, blue teeth inside. He has a thin stache along with facial hair on the chin. He is balding on one side. His body is visibly segmented and ball-jointed like a marionette would have. He has stitched scars running across his arms. He is kind of a thinner build with a potbelly. From the part of the hand shown we can see his long red-painted claws.

The whole piece here uses minimal color. Both people are lined in scrawled and inconsistently-lined dark blue ink. There is only coloring on Kamals eyes which are yellowish, his lips which are of a rose shade, and the pale greying streaks in his hair. On Habit, the only ones are his eye extending from it's base camera, orange sclera with a brown pupil, a few associated bright wires coming out of his eyehole, and red lips revealing blue teeth. A hard and faded yellow light illuminates Kamals face and some of Habits in the center. The rest of the piece is shrouded in blue-black darkness( that still shows the visible blue lining on the people). Slight portions of the same yellow light line the right corner.

Red text in the far upper left , near them both, written sideways in cursive declares them a " Strange Romance " with a red heart. Red text on the bottom right reads in a typewriter font that " beauty lies in the eyes of your doctor".

Kamal leans back in his rotating chair to fit Habit on his lap and relax. His feet are folded up on the chairs edge, the chair which is leaning back to its limits. Hes nestled comfortably, looking blissed-out and coos sweetly to Habit as he holds up an injection straight into the other's eye. Kamal appears to be in a job environment as he wears an oversized doctor's coat with shirt and flat work shoes. His belt appears to have been unhooked and is hanging loose little below his waist. Meanwhile Habit is sitting on Kamal's lap. He holds onto Kamals thighs and hair firmly ( struggling to balance his own huge size ) while running his hands across them with much care, just feeling him out. His legs are pointed to opposite sides of each other awkwardly around the chair. Finally he's hunched over to meet Kamal's gaze, his long hair spread out all over and behind him. Habit grins wide in his usual crooked manner, looking at Kamal happily, trusting him.

One of his eyes is being fixed so the base camera extends out his central eyepiece/lens. A bit of the dark eyehole behind is seen. Habit wears a simple shirt, pants and long ribboned high heels. One of his pants legs is pulled up more, showing more heel. The hand stroking Kamal's head doesn't have his usual gloves on, its bare, this glove thrown to the floors side. End ID1]

ALTERNATE

[ ID2: The same piece as above but with big stylistic changes. Here the blue-black darkness is total and is shown with a messy airbrush effect. The bottom left text is absent.

The selectively colored places on the people( thats from the first piece )have been preserved. Otherwise Kamal and his chair are lined in a bright neon blue that becomes dark neon blue in some places, inconsistently-colored. His cheeks, nose have some deeper and softer blue color on them. The palms of his hands are a paler blue. Habit is lined in a neon yellow that becomes white in some places. His central eyepiece is of less intense saturation in color. A red blush is implied sparsely across his face. The throwaway glove is white. Overall the whole thing looks like its glowing in the dark. End ID2]

SKETCH

[ ID3: its a photo. The sketch for this piece, done traditionally in pencil. It's lightly lined and the characters are only suggested through more basic shapes. End ID3]

You're lovely, I'm lonely, you're lonely, let's love each other, now we're lost again but you're with I always

(Plaintext: You're lovely, I'm lonely, you're lonely, let's love each other, now we're lost again but you're with I always)

__

Right, too tired to explain everything but the reason habits eye here looks Like That is because in this AU his insides are built out of common items or household items. Behind his eyes lies a base camera that performs some other functions than sight as well or atleast that's what I thought of for now. Might reuse the same concept for an OC because it's damn cool.

Also I'd like to clarify to anyone new that this isn't a creator /created thing haha if that's what this looks like. Nah. They're friends, they met earlier from seperate homes.

And they're Both Doctors.. ; ) (winky face)

Ghost in the Machine

This is the master post for Ghost in the Machine links, character refs and FAQs.

I will try my best to keep this post as up to date as possible.

What is Ghost in The Machine?

GITM is a DCA AU and a fic set in the retrofuture (2055ish) long after Fazco has shut down. An eccentric collector has been acquiring versions of the Daycare Attendant animatronic from closed locations around the world. The story involves a reader character who has been brought into repair the original post-Ruin DCA from the games, and hijinks ensue. There are also ghosts.

Where can I read the fic?

GITM is currently being posted on Ao3, and is updated every three weeks on Saturdays. The fic is being beta'd by the tremendously talented @bubbiethesaur. You can read GITM here!

There is also a podfic, which you can find here:

Updates to the podfic will be sporadic, so please be patient <3

Where can I see the art?

On this blog I use the #gitm au and #ghost in the machine au tags for GITM related content. If you are looking for art of a specific character, they also have their own tags: #misuta moon #nova #soleil #clip.exe #sunspot mk1 #fool eclipse #ruin eclipse #sombra #sunflower #mr sandman

FAQ~

Why haven't you answered my GITM ask?

One of three reasons: 1) your ask was too spoilery* 2) I'm waiting to answer it with art 3) ADHD

*spoilery includes but is not limited to: any questions about dual-AI or XYZ character's sun/moon variant; questions about character backstories and lore; questions about characters that have not featured in the fic yet (e.g Nova, Sanii, Harvest, Sunflower, Sandman etc); asks speculating about potential future scenarios (don't get me wrong, I love these asks, but I can't answer them!)

Where are all the Moons?

Read and find out. Seriously. There are at least 5 Moons who are core to the plot but I'm not going to talk about them, no matter how nicely you ask!

Does XYZ character have a Sun/Moon counterpart?

Some of them do, some of them don't. The dual-AI stuff is majorly plot related. If I'm not talking about someone's Sun/Moon counterpart, rest assured you will find out eventually. I won't be spoiling any of it on tumblr though :)

Can I create fanart of GITM?

Yes yes yes please do and please tag me when you post it so I can see it/reblog! If you are unsure if something is ok, please ask.

Can I create fanfic of GITM?

Super flattered about this. I have a longform answer to this question which you can read here. But tl;dr yes you can, please tag/credit me, do not spoil/try to write the lore, and please do not write GITM au (e.g mafia, mer, medieval). I have my own plans for this stuff and I would prefer to release the designs/stories in my own time. If you are unsure if something is ok, please ask.

Do you have character refs I can use?

There is a collection of art 'refs' for each character on the Misutamojis discord. Latest link here.

There are no proper call-out sheets/refs currently, but I have a huge body of art for the characters on this blog which should give you more than enough info for most of them. I will get around to creating proper refs eventually, in which case I will link them here.

Where can I find the playlist?

I update the spotify playlist fairly regularly, if you have any music recs you can send them over in an ask! You can listen to the playlist here!

I've heard there are secret GITM drabbles, where can I find them?

I used to post frequent drabbles from future chapters in the DCA Palooza discord, I have recently deleted the majority of them as people were going back and binging them which hadn't been the intended reading experience. Anywho, this question probably refers more to the spicy drabbles (which people have very kindly made a lot of delicious art for). These are still around! You just need to access the spicy channel and do some digging.

Is there a GITM discord?

Nope! There is a server for GITM emotes and a busy thread in the DCA Palooza, but currently I don't have any plans to make a GITM-centric discord community. If that does happen in the future it's likely I will simply convert the emotes server (Misutamojis).

It finally happened, I converted Misutamojis. You can join the GITM discord here.

Can I smooch the robots?

Yes.

All of them?

All of them.

[egg-emperor]

everyday I think of the list of things I could do to make my blog appealing to more Eggman fans and the fandom as a whole but I just keep doing what I do with my weird funny little niche with one of the most unpopular versions of the character in the fandom because it makes me the happiest. all the super specific things I'm into posting might not be the most popular or preferred by people but I'm having fun and I really appreciate those that support me in it
