Between therapy and moving them to another universe, seems the theme of the year is Give Them A Break.

For instructions on how to post, please refer to the submission guide. Fanfest this year will be held from August 19 to August 25.

And now here's the 7 prompts!

Day 1: Reverse Isekai

Could the Kubera cast survive in our world? The fantastic comes into our mundane--explore what it would be like for them to be hit by a Gandharva transport shuttle and be transported to earth!

Day 2: Missing Scenes

Not even the meticulous plotting of the Kubera webtoon can cover absolutely everything that goes on in their universe with the depth it deserves. Find those scenes you wish were given more attention and give them form!

Day 3: The cast goes to therapy

Perhaps a lot of problems could be fixed if only the cast could deal with their issues in a mentally healthy manner.

Day 4: Cross Dressing

Why should clothes be restricted by gender? Free them from the constraints and let them wear anything you'd like!

Day 5: High School AU

Trade in the universe ending stakes for passing class and drama of youth.

Day 6: What used to be

Whether it be recollections of a nostalgic past or bitter memories best forgotten, reflect on things that have changed and never will be again.

Day 7: Zombie Apocalypse 

The Kuberaverse is already marching towards one, so let's speed it up a little.

More old art, this series, might just be my most favourite thing ever

Lutz: We're in. It's too late to turn back now. One of us isn't going to come out of this alive.

Siera: Why do you all keep saying that?! Why can't we just all assume we're gonna make it out alive and go from there?

Ruche: Siera, we got enough problems without worrying about your imminent death.

Speaking of webtoons, if I had to recommend just one piece of webtoon out of all the ones I've read(and I've read a lot despite having rarely talked of such) it'd be kubera. Read kubera. It might be hard to pick up in the beginning because it's old, but it's worth it.

That'd be because the world the author's crafted is so well-knit and vast. There's so many little details about it and the plot revolves around an entire universe from the beginning of time to its upcoming demise(it's happening right now). There are so many different characters with their own independent ideals and stories, and I never imagined it'd be something this massive of a story;

If you like high-fantasy, I've never seen anything like that comic, it is it's own thing. The author's literally built her entire world in that series with its own rules and ways of the universe, it's so unique. I recommend it because it's unique. I think that's the best thing about the work, whether you like or dislike how the story goes, you'd still have to agree that the author made a world she's very consistent with. I'd say it has the best lore out of all the webtoons I've come across.

Kubera Fanfest 2024 - Day 5: High School AU

Some things never change.

What I've gathered from this is that human forms grant you human emotion and if you're Brahma it grants you human stupidity.

it's also rather interesting that the primeval gods cooperate to fashion a universe but work against each other more often than not. How do you even end up in that kind of bad work environment???

Sssh, Kalavinka, they all came back from their very own existential crisis character arc in which they learned valuable lessons and changed for the... better?

My first art Of 2024.

It's a meme art.

I'm so proud of myself 🥹

For those who don't know this is the og tweet calling for this:

[pendulum-sonata]

1 and 21.

1. Character that everyone gets wrong.

Lol, we're starting with the heavy weaponry aren't we? You know? To spice things a little bit, I'm gonna choose an Arc V character and a Kubera character, even though only one of my mutuals reads the last one >.>

Arc V

Well... as much as I would like to say Reiji again, I think I've established enough times how misinterpreted his character is, so this time I'll choose...

Ray Akaba, I wasn't even aware that there were still people around who apparently hate her so much, that they would call for the "Ray hater nation" or whatever, I'm not gonna mention who it was but it was very recent, which honestly makes me remember that one tweet pointing out how silly people sound when they justify not liking badly written female character, how they'd supposedly love them if they were better written, when they couldn't handle any of them having one bad feeling for they boyfavs.

And that's really all there sees to be behind A LOT of the Ray hate going around: They hate her because canonically she defeated Zarc and she split him and then split herself to chase him across dimensions, and hate that she was the one who had to give the coup of grace in the duel against him.

They hate that canonically, Ray is one of the best duelist in the yugiohverse, and they will pull the weirdest excuses out of their backside to justify why she's the worst, how she was "too conceited" to believe she could take Zarc on her on, like excuse me, she absolutely took him down, TWICE, not sure what series you were watching, how she supposedly pulled a deus ex machina with the En Cards, as if the requirements to use them weren't ridiculously difficult to meet and wouldn't require a very skilled duelist, how she was dumb for sparing Leo because he caused an wat to bring her back, like, sweetie, the world would have ended anyway because with or without Leo, Zarc would have awakened eventually, that's why Ray set herself to always chase him down and defeat him over and over, like honestly i could dedicate a whole rant essay to the ridiculous claims I've seen made about her.

But the one thing everyone ALWAYS gets wrong is this, and I'm gonna put it in all caps and bold text because it needs to be said:

RAY ALONG WITH ZARC CREATED THE PENDULUM SUMMON AND THE PENDULUM CARDS!!

(AND VERY LIKELY ALSO YUYA'S PENDULUM NECKLACE)

Seriously people, this isn't rocket science, the entirety of the 6th opening and ending is FULL of visual cues about how the both of them did it, we have visuals of Yuya and Yuzu forming the energy for the Pendulum, we know Ray was able to create and give cards to Reira in her spirit-like form, heck, lately the card game has released a bunch of cards that attach the word pendulum to Ray as well, come on.

And that's just something that a large portion of the fandom always gets wrong about her.

Kubera

For this webtoon there is way too many people with the worst takes on many characters, befitting as the characterization of the story is very complex and well-made, and many of them are girls, and the girls can just as flawed and commit terrible actions as the dude characters.

But one character that seems to exceed the number of bad takes rather than the good ones is Menaka.

Menaka is a nastika, a race who in this story are sort of like opposing force to the gods, the author has even mentioned that humans sort of see them like "evil gods", some fit the label more than others, and others like Menaka are the exact opposite of evil, she was actually hailed as the one nastika who was qualified enough to eventually become the wisest king of the clans, and would be the first one to reach enlightenment and defeat one of the main villains. Unfortunately this one villain would have none of that and screwed her over on a cosmological level to the point it costed her everything, her power, her life, her clan, her future, and she ended up being screwed over after her death and then some more.

Without saying too many things confusing to non-readers that's the gist, as as the type of character who was tricked into abandoning everything for the greater good, and lived and died to regret it because she ended up doing a lot of damages for her decisions as well, and then sacrifice herself once more she's the perfect candidate to be hated, mischaracterized, mocked, straight up make things up about her character that you'd thing they're talking about someone else.

Imagine my surprise when I found out that people called her a groomer and the true villain of the story, not like a joke or hyperbole, but as like what they actually think of her -_-'

Uff, that was hard to write without possibly spoiling anyone lol (don't judge me, Kubera in ongoing, Arc V is over :P)

21. part of canon you think is overhyped

Arc V

The Xyz arc, that all I have to say, I mean, you guys know me, for those who follow me when it was airing, you know my feelings about it and you know the absolute boredom that brings me every single time any of the xyz dimension characters were the focus (unless Yuzu, Dennis, Sora or Yuya were in them lol)

People love to say that the series did them dirty because they deserved a full arc, but honestly, we deserved a full arc dedicated to the fusion dimension, and I will die in that hill.

Kubera.

You know? Kubera doesn't have overhyped parts, because the series as a whole is just so underrated and obscure, and everything is so interwoven together, that it's impossible to remove any parts without affecting the overarching plot so... *shrugs*
