#some bonus lore...

[bonus-links]

WOO, finally got this ref chart together! the art's actually kinda old by now (I started this back in february) but I didn't feel like redrawing everything outside outfit changes sooooo,,,,,my apologies 😅 here's the main cast! you can find individual refs in this masterpost

[illmoraineakoi]

So, I know I'm a little (very) late to the AvA stuff, but I was rewatching AvM Season 3 for the seven hundredth time and, well, I noticed something and I'm curious to know if it's been discussed before.

AvM Episode 29, Purple's story, specifically, Pink's death.

Her color changes as she dies, or is represented to have died.

It fades to grey.

Now, the question is, can we, or rather should we, use this to infer anything lore-related? Was this just an artistic choice to depict the act of becoming unhealthy/dying, or could this be what actually happens to stick figures that die over a period of time? Are their colors linked to their health?

Let's have a bit of fun with it, and presume that the fading of one's color can happen to a stick figure for health-related reasons, as the scene could imply.

This fading seems to involve loosing the saturation of one's color into grey. Saturation is how vibrant a color is, and the complete lack of saturation is greyscale.

The World-of-Alan reason for Pink's death is that she 'got sick', which is where the health connection of this theory comes from. If she did loose her color as she was dying as the notes depict, that loss of color was likely a result of her failing health rather than any other factors, like age or outside variables. A whole bunch of human body stuff are indicators for good vs poor health, including skin color (jaundice and cyanasis are good examples) so why not a stick's color for them?

What if, when they fully die, they lose all of their original color?

Now, let me propose this…

Who else do we know of who has had their color loose vibrancy?

What if Victim's color has lightened because he's ill?

[soupmanspeaks]

Glammike but a kid should go up to Freddy during a Meet-N-Greet and mention something about playing catch with their dad and then Freddy looks them dead in the eyes like "haha I never played catch with my dad :3" before 4 beats of silence pass through that entire greenroom and bro gets looks from everyone send tweet

[yesornopolls]

can you be in a fandom for a game you have not played? (but have watched someone else play or otherwise know the lore)

[kaeyachi]

Kaeya had always been an efficient and hard-working individual (he had to be to support Diluc in the background as his brother rose thru the ranks after all).

He has so much free time because he completes all his work way ahead of schedule. And if he still has enough time, he adds more to the workload in secret.

And once all of that was done and over with, he makes time for everyone. He has to. He feels as if every moment has to be given to someone else.

No one knows how he does it. No one has to know.

Every mission has a dozen strategies in line, and every battle plan is made with efficiency in mind. His perfect record will not be tarnished. He can't risk it (even if it baffles others that he would willingly activate a ruin guard just to prevent a failed mission. Jean disagrees with his methods, but Kaeya can say that the results say otherwise)

He needs to be quick.

Efficient.

Perfect.

And so he comes and goes like the wind.

Kaeya values time because he knew every second counted. He can't just stand there as if he were frozen. Time could run out in an instant.

Kaeya had only been late once his entire life.

He'd rather he never be late ever again.

It took one day of being of being imperfect for everything to fall apart. On that tragic day...had he gotten there on time... then maybe...

.

.

.

" Come on, let's get moving, traveler. We're not frozen in place after all. " Kaeya teasingly says. He stiffles a giggle at the traveler's exhasperated sigh.

"Yeah yeah, we've heard enough of you calling us a slacker. Can't you be a bit more patient?" Paimon whines at him.

Kaeya snorts, but acquiesces, hiding the shaking of his hands at the thought of being idle.

He imagines hearing a clock ticking.

Kaeya knows that that is his own problem. He tries his hardest to relax as he waits for the traveler to finish whatever they're making on the alchemy table because, seriously, it is supposed to be a relaxing day. There's nothing major going on, and his schedule is once again empty as intended. What's the hurry?

Kaeya taps his foot on the ground as he waits. He wishes he could take his own damn advice when he tells others to relax.

What linda of mc Crofts loves? As about her work? Do she gets hot with a hater? Loves the casual reader or the not aware of her books?

Ohhhh love this question. I can't remember atm what I did in the code but the general vibe, from most to least liked:

1. Never heard of them. (Croft hates engaging with fans and critics alike so if you've never heard of their work they're thrilled)

2. Dedicated/Casual fan. (ONLY if they feel they can have a discussion about themes and/or craft though, AND not a super fan. Just like... someone who can chat about their books but also be Normal about it)

3. Haters. (Much like with skeptics, they annoy Croft but also Croft finds them kind of fascinating)

4. Super Fans. (Croft does not like being obsessed over they find people who are REALLY into their work simultaneously stifling and also cringe)

5. Movie Fans. (Croft hated the movie adaptation of their first book with a burning passion if you tell them you enjoyed the movie they Do Not Respect You)

Alterity/Ocarina, Oracle - Bonus Content 1

As part of me paying child support for @not-freyja's 'Lore does Link's Awakening' WIP (Gale) here's a bonus scene/concept snippet featuring young Legend/Lore post OoA in Ocarina, Oracle

New readers, series start: Two Moon Pearls and the Master Sword

Bonus Content 2

Lore had a list of 'Things Legend was fucked up about'. It included an intensity scale, but he hadn't had the chance to put it in order yet. Hadn't been able to properly dissect how badly his future was going to bend and break him into that man. There hadn't been the time after all the new additions and his rushing to finish things off in Labrynna.

He had started the list when he was eleven, shortly after his first quest. It had included 'Whatever had happened in the Palace of the Four Sword' and 'Whatever is coming next in general' and 'Himself (Folklore)'.

'Himself (Legend)' had also recently been added to the list, (honestly he should have guessed that one way earlier), along with a heck of a lot else. Some of it was obvious, he'd been ship wrecked enough times that he seemed to dread the idea of sailing. Which was disappointing because Lore had been looking forward to learning on the trip home. Way to preemptively ruin it.

Other things were more nebulous, like how he seemed perfectly happy, eager even, to pick fights Lore would have avoided. When had his flight response swapped to fight? Was it just confidence? Did he want to cause hurt? Have control? Was he just restless? Lore got restless too.

It definitely wasn't good to think too much about such things, but at the same time how could he help it? He'd been looking for any trick he could get his hands on to help control his life since he was eleven years old. Now it was all laid out before him.

Five or so years of it at least.

He'd lived with a window into his future for days. He knew what was coming, probably, and that was its own kind of terrifying. What was worse, going in blind? Or walking to straight towards your fate?

He just had to meet it, just had to make it through until he had the Triforce again. After that… after that didn't matter. That was future Folklore's problem.

He would save Hyrule, he would save Lorule, he would save the others. He'd even go do 'that nonsense in Hytopia.'

That was the point of him.

He didn't know if there was an after. 'Legend' wasn't after, Legend was in-progress.

There was a kind of directly proportional relationship between how little Legend had wanted to talk about a thing and how much baggage he seemed to be carrying from it.

And oh boy had he hated talking about Koholint.

Lore hadn't understood, not until he stood there with his toes curling in white sand and the warm ocean lapping around his ankles. Seagulls calling overhead and the triplets laughing in the distance. Hadn't understood until hours after the prettiest girl he'd ever met had grabbed his hands and shut down his brain.

It didn't feel like a dream. That was the danger of it. Legend had not known, and he had allowed himself to feel safe. Mistake. Mistake, mistake, mistake. There's no such thing as safe.

He had to get home because his Uncle was… he had to get out before his body died outside of the dream. Yes. Because he still had things to do. Save Hyrule, save Lorule, save Light and the Fallen Hero.

But Legend had been here for ages, he hadn't known and he'd survived so…

He closed his eyes, feeling the warm sun on his face and the water tug at his legs. He has a little time still. He couldn't leave now if he wanted! He does want, really he does. He does! But he's not done yet.

Someone calls his name, and he turns away from home to go to them.

oc art from the past month ish

PART 2 of this sprunki next au thing (wtf am i doing with my life?)

Part 1 here

Anyways disclaimers as always descriptions of the deaths of these guys

As well as the fact that I mainly make these fankids based on who I want to design and not really much on the ship (aside from darkcult)

ANYWAYS

ROCKY

(Grey and wenda child)

Category- Effects- idk

Age: 19

Another divorce kid- I need to stop

So Rocky was raised along side Glinda as siblings, eventually grey and wenda split off due to the fact they had different parental ways and disagreed a lot. With Rocky the divorce didn't affect him as he never liked glinda who was clingy to him. He is friends with ace as they bond over there sibling issues ...and then Corvus came along to bond as well.

He sometimes plays guitar and likes to make music with ace tho aside from that he is a loner coyote

In horror mode echo basically puts him in a battle to the death with glinda. Glinda was hesitant but rocky was determined to live and ended up killing glinda as a result. No remorse.

.....also there the ones who killed Jane, him and Jane were trying to get supplies, Jane got to it first but rocky in the determination to survive killed her.

GLINDA

(Wenda and Vinera Child)

Category- beats- idk

Age: 23

Glinda ended up being raised by wenda of course and they are kinda naive(and annoying as rocky puts it). There more of an animal and outdoors person. They would probably also wear shorts in winter ngl. She is also Jane's girlfriend! (Complicated slightly doomed Yuri has entered the chat)

I kinda already said horror mode for them but basically how they die, they get beaten to death with bugs eaten up there body-

LILY

(Vinera x OWAKCX child)

Category- beats- idk

Age: 22

Honestly she's probably everything you'd expect, gardener, stoner, chill, born from a plant- (tbh that is still a mystery to why and how)

She is siblings with Pickle and she takes care of him a lot. .....but she does kinda hate ace cause of some mysterious accident he did.

In horror mode she becomes abnormal like an infectious and danger plant growing inside her

ZINC

(Clurk x Garold Child)

Category- effects (idk yet)

Age: 27

(I honestly didn't know if I wanted to give them a Child so I did....and i made them non-binary lol)

An inventory just like there parents! They do like th expirement and get more scientific. They have expiremented with magic, specifically time magic. Tho they ended up giving up on it once there work went down the drain once there first and only successful time device went missing one day. That isn't to say they won't try again, but it's still a mystery on who took it.

In horror mode they survive and are more so focused on building that time machine back to stop this from happening....they arr probably also in a bunker or turned there lab into one.

MS.MOON

(Mr.Sun's sister)

Category- Melody- violin

Age: ???

Tbh I have nothing to say ....they exist lol (they might also get a redesign tbh)

I guess that they tend to watch over and protect the sprunkis during the night especially after the first....incident that there brother had to deal with

In horror mode there abnormal as well. Forced to watch the chaos happen once more....

SKY

(Adult/aged up)

Category- Effects (lullaby) (the same)

Age: 30's???

To make it clear he is only aged up cause of well this is an au (kinda like a future au)

After the aftermath of the first horror mode, sky was the most scarred from the events (because we was fucking 14 YEARS OLD) out of all the sprunkis. This lead him to become a police officer (probably along side tunner) to help protect people and make some kind of difference even if it's small. His eye is damaged cause of the aftermath of horromode so yeah (the white marks were meant to be scars but idk anymore) he does have a police hat i just didn't feel like drawing for some reason maybe later.

He is very weary of black especially after what he did. . . . Unfortunately he failed to pay attention to his kids

In horror mode .....he has played these games before, he survives with some scars and is trying to help others survive as best he can and find the source of this madness to hopefully stop it once and for all........so basically his mission is to make sure Echo STAYS DEAD- (well he doesn't know echo is responsible but still)

QUINN

(???)

Category- Vocals

Age: 30's???

I'm gonna be honest....I was running out of characters and I didn't want to do every single ship (especially cause of lore implications) so yeah sky gets a friend

This is Quinn, in the present time they would be 15 years old soo there only a year older than sky. They work as a caretaker as daycare and orphanages and acts as Sky's great friend to be around....and is also the one managing his stress and making sure sky doesn't just lose it (also the blue mark on there face is just a birth mark)

In horror mode they are killed (haven't decided how yet) and are the second to die (the first being ronny) there body was found by sky which is when sky is made aware horror mode is back for another round....and also the fact that the sky is fucked up, the moon and sun went weird ect ect

BONUS/EXTRA:

FRANKLIN

(Oc- HEHEHEHEHE)

Category- Melody

Age: 17

LISTEN .....I CAN DO WHAT I WANT OK

Anyways Frankie isn't part of the lore much tbh. And that's cause they don't grow up in the sprunki island YUP ITS TIME FOR THAT CROSS OVER LORE

So as a baby (image on the right) the bad end organization took them for expirements. They were fine and then they grew up to be fucker up (left image) and got adopted by Tempest. Curious they wanted to visit there supposed place of origin. They made 2 visits one when echo was alive and another when horror mode started

I should note tempest and Frankie live in underland city and just to high you a hint on how life is like there.....when frank saw horror mode staring, that shit is tame compared to the living conditions back home. Only problem for him is that echo put a barrier around meaning he's stuck so he kinda just chills and walks around like nothing till his vacation can be over. Plus he is on good turns with echo.

FINALLY ITS DONE

I might do some bonus/extra characters if I feel like it tho they might just be ocs or Easter eggs or maybe other ships kids (expect a black x tunner fan kid)

Reguardless we got the main cast and now I don't know what to do with all this lore ....eh I'll figure it out

I'll probably draw there horror modes and there full body versions later but for now it's done

[zombocomme]

By the way, I think DeCopia would totally jam together in some garage somewhwre... I'm cooking baby.

80s, but look, I think alt rock hadtv caught Jimmy by the throat in rebellion of his like affluent southern reverend father.... mm... copia would done anything to make Jimmy happy, and he would have jammed with him, talking about living the dream to be famous Rockstars someday...

[atreeisatreeisabook]

Can you imagine if Xie Lian also met Mu Qing and Feng Xin under a disguise during those long 800 years, but because he got the braincell in the separation, he's actually good at it? Imagine, he's gathering scraps (in the immediate vicinity of a major historical event), gets cursed with alternate character skin and one of them- maybe both- says 'I like the cut of your jibe, come work for me as an unpaid intern (lower heavenly official.)'

He either refuses and has to explain himself, or he can fake it till he makes it. Errand boy Xie Lian, watching these two squabble over the most banal shit- it's like he never lost them! (Except when it very much is.)

Eventually, this banquet too must come to an end, and he tastefully fakes his death over some cliff or something (no coffins!)

...Feng Xin and Mu Qing are opposite ends of the bereaved partner spectrum.

[moderator-monnie]

What should have been the first victim, and the most tasty victim for the worm, came last and the worm even gave the machine a fighting chance, but none of that matters in the end because metal was dead long before this encounter, fate decided as soon as Slammer got his host.

I'd like to thank the extremely lovely artist who helped me finish off the important 'sonic game' side of Slammer Sonic's story!

@sonic-enterprise

@the-hidden-levels

this journey started October 25th in 2022 with the Tails Comic! and now it ends with the Metal Sonic Comic thanks to them! and I'd love to give one last thanks to the artist who made this comic, and the ones who made the rest too!

You might wonder...

Is that it for Slammer Sonic/Slammer Prime?

Nope! this final comic is just all the important stuff to explain how Slammer got his host/consumed a copy of Sonic CD, this takes place within the past.

At some future point I'll explore it's human victims and go in more in depth with the clones and their stories, but untill then ...

🕊️ Bird Fun Facts 🕊️

This funny little guy is Raffaello Cookie, Head pharmacist of the Dark Cacao Kingdom and eventually monarch who rules beside King Dark Choco

Their pronouns are They/Them He/Him

and I’m about to yap your ear off about them under the read more

A species of rare, intelligent, and reclusive magical creatures from a world that existed before resolution which made the freezing and harsh landscape of the Dark Cacao region their home before the twin dragons’ battle was brought to an end. One such erosion bird (yes, those Erosion Birds) found the Black Citadel and decided to nest there.

Raffaello hatched as a fluffy little chick but having been eventually raised by a Cacaoen Falconer/beast tamer, Rondnoir Cookie. He’d been keeping an eye on the strange little bird and when one day the baby fell out of the nest without mama around, Roidnoir actually climbed up to the nest to put baby Raffaello back. This was their first ever exposure to humans, and seeing how many of them there were and that maybe they weren’t so bad, their body began to copy the human form. although having no reference made even an attempt to blend in fail outright.

At one point Rondnoir would find the strange little fledgeling following him around from a distance more than they would their own mother as she began to separate from her young due to Erosion Birds being mostly solitary creatures.

And while Raffaello was doing alright on their own, they definitely didn’t have much a handle on things. They were sickly and had to rely on themself for food, and seeing this baby bird that he’d more or less been watching over since the day they were born, Rondnoir decided he might as well take them in, he didn’t know much about kids but, maybe he could work something out with his knowledge of how to raise birds.

As Raffaello grew up it was clear they weren’t cut out to be a swordsman, so instead they poured all of their knowledge into knowing how to forage for herbs and cures, understanding everything they could find in documentation of the Cacao Kingdom’s history of medicine, they were even able to channel the magic within themself to absorb sickness into their feathers, then as a giant bird creature head off into the harsh climate far from civilization to further understand and disburse the illness through molting said feathers.

This magic is of great use to the Royal family to keep them alive and well should an unknown illness befall his majesty. Soon enough Raffaello would be moved into the palace and live in the house of the king should they ever be needed right away.

In this time while they continued their studies and research they would meet the young prince and feel something they never had before. Raffaello meets up with the prince to more properly introduce themself to him, and he’s just such a wonderful man, so powerful yet so humble and kind, it was like the moment their eyes met something had bound them together.

Sure hope nothing bad happens to em-!
