This looks super exciting! I love swap AUs and reading fics about them now and then. Thank you so much for sharing!

(Side note: I love how swapped AU in your chapter calls the audience “Sabre’s mysterious benefactors.” It makes the Sky People in this AU sound so shady, and I love it.)

Get ready for a Skyline Scramble!

I was feeling nostalgic for a little project I made back in college. :3

[ossian94]

Finished - Radium

lightversion - radioaktive version - animation

This one took some time and I'm just 95% happy with it, but it's good enough in my book

[creators-novel]

The day has arrived. 24 hours come and gone.

            From the base of Vyz’s tomb, dark clouds loom overhead and spread through the area. The heroes of Lightverse congregate between the city and the tomb’s location. The last one to arrive is Uriel, appearing in a beam of blue light. “Vyz’ll be here soon then?”, she asks. “Yeah.”, Ex groans, “And how about ‘them’?” “They’ll be here later.”, Uriel nods, “They have to make sure everyone else is ok first.”

The group hears a low rumbling in the distance. Recognizing the noise, Exisite dashes off towards the tomb, with Nitro following close behind. Ex watches them leave and says, “I’ll try to run down the old man. God forbid he’s probably on the hunt at this point.” “I’ll join you then.”, Nave volunteers, “Given your luck, you’ll need the help.” “I’ll catch up with Exisite and Nitro then!”, declares Uriel. Ex looks over the horizon, the ground shakes and more clouds billow out from the woods, “Looks like they’re starting. I’ll catch up soon.” “Let’s not take long then.”, says Nave, before taking off to the city. Ex and Uriel give each other a fist bump and split off from each other. “We’ll show them what we’re made of!”, Uriel calls out.

By the time Exisite arrives at the tomb with Nitro, his powers are already sparking to life with malicious intent. White hair and red eyes, just like before. And as the tomb opens, the duo stands tall. Nitro grits his teeth, “Finally shows his cowardly face…”, he spits. And out steps Vyz, his hands confidently positioned behind his back and he walks with a regal disposition. “Hello, Nitro…Castor…”, he seems confused for a moment, “Is it just you two today?”, he asks, pointing a teasing finger at them. “It would have been three”, Nitro snarls, “but you know what you did.” Vyz chuckles, “Hmhm…come now. Let’s not blame just me. It is a shame that Ex isn’t here, I brought some guests that he may be familiar with. As well as an extra special one for you two.” He snaps his finger, and three figures come forth from the portal. Two of them seem to bear a resemblance to Ex, albeit a bit older? It’s hard to tell. You’d have to squint to make out any of the finer details; it’s clear these folks have been corrupted for quite some time. The other, however…

Well, it’s only been a couple of days, but this one looks like just another mindless creature of the void. He’d probably look like any other corrupted soul if not for his recognizable claw arm.

Uriel arrives just in time to see the scene playing out before her. Nitro flinches, having seen the effects of the void corruption for the first time, “Aaron!?”

Vyz leans forward and grins, “Happy to see him again, right?”

“Could you be any more of a monster?!”, asks Exisite.

“Oh yes- ‘monster.’ Me. That’s ironic coming from a construct like yourself, Castor. Just like all of you, and this world you stand upon. Constructs mad by maddened children.”

“Pay no mind to him!”, orders Uriel, “He’s TRYING to get a rise out of us! Don’t fall for his tricks!”

Vyz looks at the group disapprovingly and sighs, “My Stygians. Help out our new friends, and have fun…” With another snap, dozens of voidlings emerge and charge alongside the “esteemed guests”. “Uriel, lightning!”, calls Nitro. In response, she summons her sword and holds it up towards the clouds. In a flash, lightning is channeled through the blade; and with a mighty shout, she throws the lightning down in a scattered attack. In an instant, several of the Stygians are obliterated as thunder shakes the terrain!

KRA-KA-BOOOOOOOOM!!

Rumble, rumble…

Xenos holds a crying Indigo in the dark as the house shakes, “We’ll be ok! It’s ok…”

“No, it won’t be! We should help ‘em! Exisy needs us!!”

“No, please! We have to stay here!”

“Then I’LL go! I’m not about to lose my best friend because a dark meanie hates friendship!”

“Indi, no!!”

Indigo frees herself from Xenos’ grasp and rushes out of the door, claws drawn.

“INDIGO!!”, he shouts and gives chase.

            Nitro finds himself facing off against the mysterious duo. He swiftly counters their attacks, trying his best to evade their corrosive bites. “You two need help, and I can offer. If you would just let me-!”, he’s cut off by them lunging simultaneously, to which he jumps back. “You know what- forget it.”

            Exisite finds himself locked in combat with DarkClaw. The two are evenly matched, but this isn’t like their training sessions of the past. No, without anything to hold him back, DarkClaw attacks mercilessly. Less like an honorable soldier, more like a wild beast. “Sir, please!”, Exisite begs, “You must stop this!”

            Uriel keeps her focus on the foot soldiers. Now that she’s fought them once, she knows she has to stay in the air and strike from above. It’s been simple enough so far, but how much more can she take before she has to go all out? What if she puts the others in danger!? She knows they can’t keep going like this!

“(C’mon, guys…where are you!?)”

            “Don’t you hear me!?”, Exisite cries. “He can’t.”, Vyz slyly exclaims, “The infection, along with my influence, has nulled everything you once knew about him…all he knows now is violence.”

“Sir-…Dad…! Wake up!!”

“Him? ‘Dad’? Pitiful.”, Vyz laughs.

The Stygians, desperate to hold their ground, climb on top of each other in strange tower formations to try and reach Uriel. If she wasn’t already panicking from trying to make sure her friends didn’t get hurt, she certainly had to come up with a new plan now!  In her moment of distress, she boldly activates her own powered-up form as she SCREAMS. The blast obliterates the Stygians in the general vicinity but thankfully doesn’t reach her allies on the ground. Thunder once again rings out from the battlefield…

Rumble…RUMBLE…KA-BOOOOOOM!!

“(How is she so fast!?)”, Xenos thinks as he chases Indigo through the forest, “(I wish I could teleport…!) INDI! Oh boy-!” In the distance, he spots the lightning and tries one more time to catch up to the young hero. “INDI, COME BACK PLEASE!”

            As the thunder settles, Indigo rushes onto the scene ready to fight! “Kid-!?”, Nitro gulps as he pushes back against the corrupted soldiers. “I’m sorry, sir-!”, Xenos huffs as he arrives, “She got away from me!” “Get out of here, both of you!”, Nitro yells. “NO!! I WILL HELP!”, Indigo roars, jumping into the fray! When her weapons collide with the ground, they send out a blue wave of energy that knocks back DarkClaw and the other corrupted. Exisite takes the moment to catch is breath but is nonetheless surprised. “Indigo??”, he squints, beside his little friend, he sees some random man appear from the blue mist…a summon? When could…how could…? His head is spinning… his mouth is dry but his face is covered with sweat, this is…exhausting. He watches as Indigo with her new friend assists Nitro in dealing with the enemy forces. This fight might still be theirs they just need-

DarkClaw tackles Exisite to the ground. The two tumbles through the dirt but quickly hops back to their feet. How much longer do they have to do this?! They continue to clash, but DarkClaw shows zero signs of stopping now. Vyz walks closer to the two, “Pests… Well, Castor, any more tricks up your sleeve?” Castor grunts as he begins to get pushed into the ground, seemingly powerless to stop his maker. “Guess not”, Vyz sighs in disappointment, “Well, I suppose we always have room for a runt like yourself amongst my ranks.” DarkClaw raises his arm, his metallic claw glistening in whatever sunlight remains here. It glows with an infectious, choking, disgusting purple hue.

And he swipes down.

…

…

…

“No.”

Another hand has grabbed DarkClaw’s, the magic radiating from it is otherworldly… powerful…godly.

“NOT. HIM.”

what's with the blog change?

Are you talking about how I deleted my old account and moved to this one?

The answer is rather simple: I was being harassed by an anon for the longest time, my "Turn off anon asks" button was broken and maybe worked once or twice, and eventually the hateful asks turned into a straight-up death threat. I just decided to delete the account so I could distance myself from that, then returned when I felt that it was safe for me to do so.

If you want to see the actual posts, my friend @mikaharuka pretty much eviscerated the anon with every ask post, so just search "Evil Anon" on her page. And while you're there, why don't you check out her Ao3 page as well? She writes absolutely fantastic Twilight-based stories, but she's built her own fandom-blind friendly world up to like 10-15 stories all by herself. The Winter Lightverse is incredible, and I recommend everyone read it. As Mizuka will tell you, it only contains roughly 2% of canon, the rest is all her!

You're someone, although not finished, is a GREAT mspfa thats actuallly not related to homestuck, just its own story. And I quite enjoyed it so I will talk about it.

A short description: You're someone. Literally. And with that someone you go and discover the world, meeting friends along the way. And of course, the someone slowly discuverse themselves... A lot chaos ensues with awesome worldbuilding!

Before I go into spoiler territory, I NEED to gush about how pretty panels get as you go along!! The colors and shading!!! Its so simple yet so neat!! Just look at this:

[Credit of course goes to the author of this mspfa, Kingarthur_I]

!!!!!!Spoilers Ahead!!!!!!

Okay now I'm gonna talk about more specific things. First off, the world as a whole! We slowly learn more about it along with our protagonist,which I personslly quite enjoyed - we piece everything together, and little snippets of knowledge get always fun. And that world - eveyrhting in it is made of light... although it gets complicated. Anyhow, even people are made fro light! But as I said, it gets more complicated.

Theres actually a different world, an antithesis to our "lightverse". Darkverse, where everyhting is made out of dark matter. And we actually meet someone from there early on in the adventure: Hex! [Love this critter] Dark matter is way more chaotic, and takes on apprioparately more chaotic froms than light - for example, fire.

And thats just core bits of this adventures world!

Anyhow, I also enjoyed all characters and their dynamics! Hex and Simplex friendship is so important to me, friends no matter what :]

Our protag also later meets Hail and all their interactions are very funky. Myriad and Hail were friends long ago, but one of them left to a 4th dimensional world [ekhem Hail]. Hes just chilling until protag comes in and noe Hails just having fun showing him around. And getting suprised at how quickly protag is grasping new stuff. Hey I didnt even mention earlier, but at that point protag is named hedron. And can warp space.

The "reveal" [nudge to?] Hex being a dark matter being was neat, very subtle. You just assume at first that his head is shown like that becUsw of his helmets shadow. But then you see simplex [another on with a helmet] and go: wait. They are nit like that. By the time I think there was some mention of dark matter so you connect the dots and wait to see what Hex can do then.

The 4th dimensional place if also fun! Theres also some invisible guy that gave Hedron an interesting offer later [no I wont elaborate] :]

I would maybe say more about the 'ending' part of the comic, but they arent finished so I dont think I will hehe.

Each new place intruduced to us is interesting! Pacing of the story is great! All characters are absolute highlight ! Once again I reccomend this fanadventure with all my heart :]

[cosmik-koto]

Here’s a first look at my next animation, [ Lightverse ] - Castor’s Origins!

This is going to be based on the events of [ Creators ] - Chapter 41 (which you can read at @creators-novel), but will be labeled under the “Lightverse” title since it technically takes place in that story. 

You may recall that this short was one of the ones going up against “Cayden’s First Day” in the poll I did at the start of this year to decide what to animate for my senior film. To those who voted for this short initially, I hope you’re excited! I know I am! >v<

[creators-novel]

Elsewhere, a different team had their own issues to overcome. See, when Straus, Koto, Red, and the others recovered from the initial shock of Vyz’s first attack, they soon realized that he could easily do it again whenever he saw fit. Lightverse was already making their plans, they were the epicenter of this whole mess for goodness’s sake! The least that they could do was make their own arrangements. Before getting anyone else involved, the first order of business was reestablishing contact with the other Incarnates and catching them up. To them, their story had continued as normal. It’s understandable, really. As you may recall, their tale loops back around on itself, one minor difference may not be easily detected.

            The group of blue royalty took the news about as well as one would expect. There was anger, sorrow, and grief all around. Red had to make sure Nathaniel and Kali didn’t immediately run off to enact revenge. Koto silently cradled Melanie while Amadi sat with them, numb. And, of course, Straus knew exactly how Nova and Luna were feeling as they cried in Azura’s arms, knowing their friend was lost to the dark. Unfortunately for them, there was no time to properly lament. It was time to take action to ensure their World wouldn’t be caught up in Vyz’s plans again.

            It was simple for Kali and Nathaniel. In their timeline, they were the soul rulers of the land. All they had to do was prepare a strong barricade around their castle. However, Kali did convince her brother to give at least some form of notice to the general populace. Admittedly, the people they oversaw were confused when the usually overbearing King gave out a warning of grave danger. Most assumed he’d finally gone mad from the power, delusional that some unknown force would overtake his throne. But the few that did believe him did start reinforcing their houses. At least they made some attempt at benevolence this time.

            In some ways, arrangements were easier for Amadi and Melanie. They had no kingdom to rule over, so no worries there. Frankly, they only really had one ally; and even she saw them as nothing more than twisted shadows of their former selves. So, they did what they could. They told their friend to hide in a safe place and to let them take care of the clean-up. After all, everyone knew at this point that the Stygians could bite others. No one had tested what would happen if you sunk your teeth into one of them (yet). The umbral siblings ended up settling down for a long nap. They would need the energy for whatever came next.

            Azura, Nova, and Luna had perhaps the most complicated task. They had a team back home, a team that they loved and cherished. Their little family, who they’ve watched suffer over and over and over again. They had to figure out how to tell them about Vyz; they at least owe them this explanation. They didn’t tell them what happened during the Synthis and Jupiter ordeals, how could they? Even if they did, would the nature of their story let them remember any of it? But the blue trio would remember. They remembered everything. To the Azul siblings, the self-awareness that comes with being an Incarnate is a double-edged blade.

“Sooo…how are we gonna do this??”

The three stand outside the front door to their home base: a large, colorful house that stands firm amidst a redwood forest. The light of the full moon beams down, illuminating Nova’s nervous and confused face. Luna anxiously taps her fingers together, “I think…your guess is as good as mine there…” “We tell them the truth, and that’s the end of it…”, Azura says, albeit with slight doubt in himself. “The more we stall, the less time we have to get ready. I’ll do the talking.” The girls look at each other and then nod at their brother. They face the door and open it together. Unsurprisingly, they’re all immediately caught by the rest of the group.

Arin, a young man who wields Cyan magic, jumps at the sound of the door opening. “AH-…see guys, I told you they’d be back! But SOME of you didn’t believe me…”, he slumps back in his chair and rolls his eyes, trying to regain some form of composure.

This alerts Phoenix, the Red Wanderer, and leader of the team. Even though he has a fiery passion for heroism, he often gets caught up in the organization of everything. Who’s doing what, who’s going where, etc. And judging by the stacks of paper surrounding him and how disheveled he looks, it’s pretty obvious the Azuls were out longer than he anticipated.

“Oh, thank goodness you’re back!”, that thankful cheer came from Amber, the girl of Yellow. She quickly runs to the trio and gives them each a loving hug. “We were all so worried!”, she stands on her tip-toes to kiss Azura on the cheek. “What took you so long? Are you hurt?”, she asks, softly holding his hands.

“Will you let them come in the door first? You’re letting in the cold air…” That grumpy fellow in the corner would be Zack, the bearer of Black magic. He’s still getting used to working with everyone. The constant hustle and bustle of “hero life” hasn’t been kind to him, and it shows.

The last member of the crew hops up behind the siblings. “Tell me you didn’t go on some fun adventure without us!” Victor, the Green Wanderer, is the most energetic of the bunch. He’s quick to go on performative tangents and is definitely the most expressive out of them all.

            Nova laughs apprehensively, “We’re sorry we’re home so late.” “I should hope so!”, says Phoenix, nearly tripping on a paper slip. “You and Azura had a scheduled mission earlier. Without both of you here, it completely threw everything off! Oh- and hello Luna…Wait- tsk! This is exactly my point! Is that why you were out? To wait for her? Certainly, we all could have picked her up together AFTER our shifts…!” Victor nonchalantly leans on Phoenix’s shoulder, “What he MEANT to say was that you gotta tell us what happened out there! Did you have a run-in with Mara!?” “Well, no…”, Luna starts, then looks to Nova for guidance. “It’s… a bit more than that.”, Nova continues, “We had to go talk to some friends who are…uhm…” “Not from around here!”, the duo declares in tandem.

…What in the world are they talking about?

“’ Not from around here’…? Really?”, Arin asks, unamused. “Not that I don’t believe you, but I find it hard to believe you have friends from RealWorld besides me and Amber.” Zack leaves his corner of the room and walks forward, “And if memory serves correctly, this isn’t the first time you’ve gone and disappeared with some sort of lame excuse.” “Everyone, please!”, Amber squeaks, “This doesn’t need to become a big thing!” “Oh, it won’t. So long as your ‘king’ fesses up.” Zack stares intently at Azura, “Answers. Now. What are you three hiding?”

            Amber feels Azura’s grip tighten. “Ok, everyone. Back up, and back off. Nova, can you shut the door behind you guys, please?... Azura, if this is important to you, Nova, and Luna, you’re ok to tell us about it. Whatever it is, we’ll make it a team effort and help. Right, you guys?” There’s a pause… then Phoenix sighs, “Yes, right. I’m sorry. But if whatever you’ve been up to deserves our attention, I think we deserve to hear the full truth.”

            “…’ The full truth’… Sure.” Azura takes a deep breath, looks at the girls, then looks away from everyone, and starts from the beginning.

            “The truth is that all of us, not just my sisters and I, are part of something grander. I know none of you will believe it, but we’re not just constructs of DreamWorld’s spirits, even they have a maker behind them. The makers behind all of us, our…Creators, they live in a place that exists outside here, beyond…everything. Just like us, they’re family who take care of each other and strive to protect those they love. And right now, they’re under attack. We didn’t know because the force they’re up against locked us out for a bit. It’s truly unlike anything we’ve witnessed before. And we’ve seen some…’interesting’ battles alongside them in the past… We need to help them again, now more than ever. And they’re going to need your help too.”

…

“It’s official, they’ve lost it.”, Arin says, dumbfounded.

“But he’s being honest!”, Nova defends.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re convinced or not.”, Azura continues, “They’re going to attack either way and we need to be ready. Our whole world and many others are at risk if we don’t stop this. I know it’s a lot to ask of you all, especially coming from me. But I need you to believe me…please. And if nothing happens,”, he smiles slightly and turns his gaze back to the group, “then you can call us crazy after.”

Another moment of silence.

Phoenix’s footsteps break the tension. He walks to Azura’s side and places a hand on his shoulder. “This is a lot… and I don’t know if certain about all of it yet. However, that is the most genuine you’ve been with us in quite a while. That doesn’t come without respect, cousin. Whatever this threat is, we’ll help you defend against it. You have my word.” Azura exhales and relaxes. Thank everything that was enough. Luna smiles and sighs, “Thank you…”

            “If whatever this ‘evil force’ is does appear, how will we know?”, the ever-skeptical Zack wonders. Azura explains, “Truth be told, I haven’t seen them yet. But from what our friends on the outside have said, they all use this dark…void-like energy. Furthermore, there are three levels to this group. First are the basic soldiers, basically blob creatures that can infect you with their bite. People who have been infected are the second group. Finally, there’s their master, Vyz. We’ll be very lucky if he doesn’t show up here.” “Ok, I’ll be honest… that sounds pretty rad!”, Victor states outright, “And any excuse to keep these old fighting skills sharp is fine by me!” “In that case”, says Phoenix, “everyone should go rest as soon as possible. Everyone will have the same mission tomorrow: preparing the citizens for the possible invasion without revealing too many details. And we should also hope Mara doesn’t catch wind of this… we wouldn’t want her getting any bright ideas right now.” Amber beams, “Sounds fine to me!”

            The group separates for now, going about their nighttime routines. Arin is the last one to be left in the room by himself.

“…So wait- were the RealWorld people right?! Is there a god out there or what-!?”
