ONCE AGAIN BIG HUGGGG FROM ME
AAAAAUUGHHH KEEP IT UP DANNY!!!
RUN WHEN YOU HEAR THE BELLS JINGLE!
(Aubrey’s Marzenie Desgin)
The beetle is dead long live the Horned Album!! Which is what this thing is called by the way, I feel bad for scrapping the beetle thing but while I was doing this my friend (thank you Jamie) suggested that maybe the horned album has a pet beetle and I said YES rabbit sized beetle with a dumb little jester hat.
Now due to. Uh. Well several things, this change in design means I’ll be altering the map and Kim’s design to see fit since both were originally connected to the beetle idea, and while I hate to see that lizard thing go she wasn’t remotely my favorite design so I can live with replacing her
So what’s going on with The Horned Album? Well the main theme I was going for is the ruining or tainting of something good, for Basil that’s mainly memories, Sunny, Mari and Hero can all be ignored easily since they don’t have a presence in Basil’s life anymore, Kel is more difficult to ignore but his current self is continuous with his young self, the person Kel is now has little effect on who he was in the last and Basil’s memories of him
But Aubrey? Her current presence in Basil’s life can neither be ignored and doesn’t connect well with his memories of her, the attitude she has toward him ranges from dismissive to rude to downright violent, sure Aubrey’s treatment isn’t remotely the worst Basil has experienced but her change of identity has put a stain on Basil’s memories of her… which namely, many are separate old ones he has of Mari which were also ruined by her death… the reason this is different is because Aubrey was Basil’s first true friend, Sure he later became closer with Sunny but Aubrey was first, and there’s many memories of her that are entirely separate from ones of the rest of the group or of Sunny
The day Aubrey began to hate Basil was also the day Basil lost the first person who truly accepted him outside his family… Aubrey was a milestone, Being friends with Aubrey was the only reason he even MET Sunny and the rest of the group, it’s that which has become tainted now
Furthermore, the other choices of goat-features and a clown outfit are sort of their own spin of the idea, the goat’s most popular symbolic use is as the perversion of the lamb (the lamb being a symbol for Jesus Christ, this is why goats are accociated with Satan, they can be mistaken for each other at a glance but upon closer inspection a goat and a sheep are very different)
The clown thing is kind of just a thing about “ruined joy”, clowns are meant to be entertainers and bringers of happiness to the masses, for one to become twisted and dangerous… ahh well this is not a new idea, using clowns in this way is very popular but as someone who likes clowns it was inevitable I’d have one in Marzenie although Aubrey wasn’t going to be the first choice, there were two other characters I’d intended to make clowns … the fact that I’m changing the cave to a circus makes them fit much better actually…hmm
It’s also worth noting that I wanted this character to be very… violent looking, anyhow, will be adding her to the master post plus an updated height chart tomorrow! I guarantee y’all she is. Uh. Big
Alright that’s all for now! Couldnt find anywhere to shove a gladiolus but I figure that’s fine, reflection doesn’t have any roses and Ziemia no lily or the valley, not all Marzenie characters are gonna have flowers in their design’s in fact most won’t… and yes I did phone in the coloring here, It’s 11:44 pm as I’m writing this and I’ve been working on it for two hours now so… yeah okay bye! Scheduling this to post in the morning now
