Freedom To Breath, Fly; Freedom To Live.

I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter

it has been years and this still remains the most meaningful advice i have ever read. every time i'm editing my own writing and getting really fed up with it, i stop bashing my face in and just think about this. "You hate the most valuable thing about your art." my writing is supposed to read like i wrote it! because i did! i should be happy to have my own voice and style! ugh thank you forever to this tweet fr

Alright alright alright! @sxncvut Here is my entry for the contest! Meet Anima! Or Animat. Or... The Forgotten One. To be honest I'm iffy on the names, you can change it if you want. So I wrote down some notes on the image up there, as you can tell, but they were eeeeh because I honestly rather typing so ellaboration time now! Do you remember that old flash game of AvA? Anima was that animation. Left on Alan's website and forgotten as traffic dwindled, Anima never had to hide that he was alive: his whole purpose was figthing the player, after all. Whether that be as the stick figure, or as the cursor, Anima fought. Anima lived. Anima was forgotten. (That is, in fact, why I tried Anima as their name. Or Animat. Animation and Animator both start with those letters and for the purposes of the game, Anima was both). Regardless, they were forgotten. Abandoned. They did not escape, no. What happened was that Chosen and Dark attacked. They came in to wreck Alan's website (where the game was originally hosted) and in the process, wrecked the game. They didn't notice Anima, because Anima BOOKED it as soon as he could. During the whole attack, however, and in the process of fleeing, and because Anima was not just the stick but also the cursor, he got hurt (you can decide how it happened exactly) and that's how he has part of his head missing and is discolored to the point of being white when he was originally fully black. From there he fled to the Outernet, and it's your choice what he's been doing since! Sometimes he's mistaken for Chosen, or even victim. Consequence of being a Becker made-stick. Now, onto powers! Anima, as a stick, is about as skilled a fighter as victim and Chosen are, since that's how the difficulties are in the game. Also ignore the note about fire breath, because that's actually a player exclusive move (unless, of course, you want him to have fire breath, in which case, go wild). Since he doesn't have accessed to the game's interface, he can't really do much of the moves seen in game, but we know that's never stopped the stick figures. As a cursor, he can do pretty much anything that doesn't involve opening menus that would interface with a computer (unless, of course, he WAS on a computer). So selecting stuff, tossing stuff around, dragging and selecting a bunch of stuff. Doesn't sound useful, until you realize this is a REALLY good way to disarm opponents. But how does this separation between stick figure and cursor work, you ask? Well, I have the answer! There is like three stages for Anima. One stage would be fully controlling the stick figure and ignoring the cursor. Like this, Anima is entirely focused on being the stick, and as a result is a bit faster/stronger than a regular stick. The cursor, however, is essentially just an inanimate object. He can strap it to his belt then, for safe keeping. Another stage is half and half. So partially focused on the stick, partially on the cursor. This leaves Anima, as a stick, weaker than most others (not by much, mind you, they could still hold their own in a fight) but also gives them access to the ability to pick up and move stuff with the cursor. Which can fly, and go places most people generally cannot.

And then the final stage would be fully cursor. In this case Anima could do anything a cursor could (depending on the situation, again, this might be limited in the Outernet) but at the cost of the stick body being fully limp and defenseless. This means Anima needs to make sure the stick body will be safe when doing this, because he can't just strap the stick to the cursor's belt. Now how is this represented? Well, the art is drawn in my style, and generally I do not do eyes, but I know that you do, and so I tried accounting for that so that drawing Anima is more suited for you style (if you wish to draw him, of course). So eyes!! As you can see, Anima has four of those. When all four eyes are open, Anima is fully focused on the stick. When only the bottom two are open, Anima is partially focused on the stick, partially on the cursor. When all eyes are closed, Anima is fully focused on the cursor. Now let's talk art (yes I know I've written a lot but you must understand that I have spent a lot of time thinking about this silly making sure he's the best he can be, mostly because I absolutely adore you art and I needed to make something worthy of it). Clearly this is drawn in my style. I have, however, included what Anima would look like if he was drawn in canon. Ditched the cape for that, because sticks don't usually have such big clothing articles. Speaking of the cape, I do hope it is to your liking! I used it to incorporate the cold colors you love so much :D Also, you're probably wondering why there's two versions of the same drawings. And that's because I actually couldn't decide on one design choice and I figured you should have final say on it. The difference? Lineart. One version of the drawings has black lineart, to imitate a cursor. However, lineart isn't very typical to the sticks, so without the lineart is also an option. Which ever you choose. And yeah. That's it, actually. I hope you like him!

Say hello to Jumping Spider AU! Where Orange DIDN'T get to talk it out with Alan and was dropped to the Outernet. Where TDL got into another massive fights with TCO much more early that got them seperated before Orange was created and the whole Virabots thing (TCO kept the house. But only cause TDL refuse to live in the same house as he is)

TDL is convinced that he doesn't care about TCO, or that now he's alone, he doesn't need anyone! Until some Orange kid with the same head as him crashes onto him. Literally. Fate seems to hate him (or pity him?)

late night discussion

could be interpreted as OC x canon, but it’s not supposed to be that :]
