Sigh…

So good

Mr pig

Let me pick your brain

Why are you so good at characterizing these silly fellas

man

They’re so—cute

Sigh

can someone pingbaesop and put mr pig on their writing team

Pls

Thanks

@umbral grotto can you hire mr pig

[limpid heart]

[torpid cloak]

Your writing is too good.. I swear I genuinely have not been invested in these characters until reading your stories

I’m not even joking

you’re so clever

What the heck

because of you I can’t even hate Kai’s dad anymore without thinking about his perspective, Aimi and Zentaro are cute and endearing instead of just being another team

My guy

My amigo

never stop cooking

[limpid heart]

To answer the question in a serious manner. A lot of it came from reading other works, looking for what I liked about them, and applying it to the OS setting. I love detail heavy descriptive work, and trying to develop a setting where you can feel the world around the characters is important to me.

Character writing was largely a matter of taking the source material given by the game, and asking myself questions repeatedly to try and figure out how they'd act in situations. For characters with less material like Kai's Father I actually stick to this even more rigorously if you can believe it. Everything was a matter of tracing back to his motivations, as a solid motive is the vast majority of what he was characterized with. (I also opted to take an extremely charitable perspective on that motivation for the sake of making the character feel more human).

It's also a lot of how I get settings for my stories. Take the Datablade one you just read for instance.

The game states that Zentaro and Ai.Mi hit it off, and Lunchboy has confirmed the two canonically room together.

Naturally conflict is going to come up there, especially when they're two characters with vastly different backgrounds. Rogue technologically adept AI with a bunch of knowledge from years as a general use assistant who was essentially born into the physical world months ago VS Half-Oni kid who had to leave home early. He lived in a comparatively primitive society with little to no tech, but makes up for it with lived experience and having presumably traveled alone on the road extensively before reaching Ahten.

Opposites attract, and the two compliment each other's faults well, which is why I wrote the relationship as a precursor to something romantic, but my writing was always trying to clue into the contrast of attitude the two have. Ai.Mi's ego vs Zentaro's selflessness. Ai.Mi's assured understanding vs Zentaro's lived experience. That obviously paints Ai.Mi very negatively in this context, but not all of their situations together will necessarily be like that. Someone has to start the problem.

The interaction between Atlas and Kai's Father of all possible pairs was born out of a desire to explore Ahten's history and make connections between the game's very limited "old guard" cast so to speak. One of the things I'll fault OS's worldbuilding on is that Corestrike doesn't feel like a very "real" sport. All of the teams bar EM competing in the in-game season are rookie teams, and we know virtually nothing about its previous seasons aside from the feud between Estelle and Kai's family.

Building up a history for the scene of what is supposed to be the world's premier sport is a big undertaking, and I think the game's world suffers for not putting more of an effort into that. Which is why I'm writing about it in part to satiate my own curiosity.

Wow you just said it

I’m so glad you are as well because it’s one of the huge things that bugs me so much about this game

We need more lore not just of the characters but of the actual world they inhabit

I wish they incorporated how corestrike was actually like a real and genuine sport they did that I could fully believe exists. I just didn’t feel it at all and it’s one of the main reasons I like your stuff so much. It’s explores all the questions I wish were answered

Even the details like atlas’ sad having a special signature on the things he’s made, or Zentaros mother being an artist mean so much more to me

I feel like your putting missing pieces into an unfinished puzzle and it feels so satisfying

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-one-piece-fan-note-fan-note-marineford-fan-note-one-piece-fan-note-marineford-gif-17562908248299756726

Literally how your stuff makes me feel. It’s like the game from a much needed shift in perspective that helps world building flourish

It’s all the stuff outside the sport that flesh out the world as a whole and everything that happened before the current point

[torpid cloak]

introducing Kai’s relationship with atlases father which ties to the sentiment shared in game with his disappearance and even touching upon Atlas’s twisted objective and insane project to go back in time to meet with his parents. It’s cool on text in the summaries but as a person in the world its insane and obsessive

but still something that can be understood. I love how you even include Kai’s mother not being around to give Kai’s dad a reason and a way to understand where atlas comes from, yet still choose to distance himself from that

ahaaaahwhd

And then when he does mention her only briefly with Kai… awrgghhhhh because it makes perfect sense from using their perspective why atlas is so keen on doing it in the first place aaaaaa

Oh my dear, oh my goodness

The more I think about it, the more peak it becomes

[torpid cloak]

Yes!! Make sure to read Mr. pigs latest one!

I’m going to read it again ahahaha

So much consideration and respect for the original material but so much creativity to expand on it even further!!!!!

Aaaaa

aaaaaa

I have so many ideas now

[limpid heart]

You hit the nail on the head with that assessment. The true nature of Atlas' work is something that I grappled with while writing this, because while Atlas is portrayed as the "noble" scientist to Rasmus being the one who is depraved beneath the surface I think Atlas has his own skeletons in the closet. One of the biggest issues I had writing this was to for lack of a better phrase make the conversation make sense.

Because the TLDR of what happens in the fic is ||Atlas tells Kai's Dad (a man he met within the last hour at most) a secret that he's kept hidden his entire life even from his closest friends and his own sister.|| Selling that as in character without making Atlas look foolish was easily the biggest hurdle, and I nearly scrapped the thing multiple times trying to do it.

[torpid cloak]

I can imagine!! It is a very heavy subject to bring up ||not only that, but at a surface level it would even seem out of character. But the thing is he’s so desperate to make it work and at this point Kai’s dad—Nolan—is the only person still alive with enough of a connection to his parents that he can even think to divulge this to him in the first place|| since he doesn’t even tell his team nor his sister.

I think you definitely sold it

And the fact that ||you even omit the words he actually says is brilliant. I wonder how terrifying his idea really was|| that was freaking amazing.

[limpid heart]

Playing into Atlas' emotions is a big part of the conversation, though Atlas' perspective tries to avoid the fact that there's any manipulation there very deliberately. Your eyes are Atlas PoV in that moment, and he's the one who wants to walk through the situation logically. To the point he may even blind himself of what's really pulling his decision sometimes.

That's a big thing I'm trying to hit with writing these characters in 3rd person. Is that every perspective feels like it's coming from them.

When you learn about something you see it tinted through their lens.

[torpid cloak]

The ever so lovely, unreliable narrator

Especially because the game makes him out to be a very smart and well adjusted person, but from an older perspective and someone who has definitely had similar thoughts—to the point his proposition is tempting being able to bring you into the (no he’s not ok actually) when changing the perspective is so good.

Its a very nice shift, because it doesn’t make atlas seem stupid, but its very noticeable that he’s blind to his own dangerous mindset and only by changing perspectives to Nolan does the reader see this. I mean even until the end not once does Atlas think he’s doing something insane.

I love it

And then at the end ||the letter TLDR: “keep me out of it”|| seriously got a laugh out of me

[limpid heart]

The part I like most out of that little moment is one of my revisions where I remembered to include this detail.

Do not leave loose ends in matters of grave import Kai chat.

Anyways I'll stop yapping about my own work, because that's probably in poor taste. Glad you enjoy it so much. It's really encouraging!

[torpid cloak]

Wait wait where is that line

[modern vigil]

no it's in good taste do it more

[torpid cloak]

NO PLEASE

KEEP YAPPING

Nothing I love more than discussing people’s creative works with them

[modern vigil]

you should celebrate a job well done and highlighting stuff you like about your works is very healthy

[torpid cloak]

You don’t understand this is my favorite part of reading

[limpid heart]

Well if you insist...

[torpid cloak]

YESS

Wait what he SHREDDED THE LETTER

ATLAS

ATLAS

[torpid cloak]

HE DID NOT HEED HIS LETTER

OH HELL NO

Bro is too far gone

Oh

oh

[limpid heart]

It's moreso a matter of covering his tracks, and wanting to make sure evidence that he ever met with anyone of note is off record.

[torpid cloak]

Fair, perhaps i am jumping the gun with him quite literally destroying the letter

[limpid heart]

Of course he is also bad at heeding warnings, because while this fic was a good exercise in worldbuilding, it is not the place of Kai's Dad to act as a point of resolution for Atlas' character arc.

[torpid cloak]

But Alas, as an English kid I must shout whenever I see potential symbolism

[torpid cloak]

Its very nice because even though atlas’s perspective ends, its very clear his story does not

Oh, oh!! I didn’t even mention how much I adored how you wrote drek’ar

I love that his habits from being ex-marine are still there that he asks for permission to enter atlas’ room in such a formal way

It was great

Gosh i loved that

Very excellent character moment even though he shows up for only a brief moment

[violet orchid]

[limpid heart]

I actually got inspired about a lot of my detailing for Drek'ar PoV by Leviathan's fic between Drek'ar and Juno. Channeling Drek'ar's unique culture and history into his actions was super fun, and making sure the "invader" feels adequately foreign and not like everyone else was something I wanted to make sure I got right.

Also just referencing even the smallest aspect of Drek's home world because oh my gosh what a world building opportunity

The SLE (Space Lizard Empire) is a criminally under-developed thing that exists.

[torpid cloak]

Oooh! I actually have not read that one (probably because Juno’s in it) but i might just give it a look after this.

[torpid cloak]

One hundred percent

It’s just like the freaking obscura world that was mentioned in a discord message instead of in the… freaking.. game

So much world—universe building

Its actually crazy

[limpid heart]

Drek'ar being a war veteran for what we can assume to be an incredibly well developed far reaching empire in space is insane. Imagine all the places he's been to and all the things he's seen.

He's like if Star Wars had a rogue storm trooper, and they actually chose to develop their character in a meaningful way.

[torpid cloak]

Right???

So much potential

All of maelstrom

Obscura, SLE, and Atlas’s time travelling science and a family lost in space

Guys

Fellas

The world has so much cool unexplored stuff

And I need it to be explored and touched upon to any capacity

[violet orchid]

one day

[limpid heart]

High on my list of "ideas I want to get to eventually™️" Is a quick mock-up that is basically summarized as "Drek'ar tells war stories to Zentaro".

[torpid cloak]

But no—lets go to the beach and mischaracterize our characters

[torpid cloak]

OH

That

Would be so cool.

Is there a writing equivalent… to art collabs

Because I desperately need to see every single one of your ideas come into existence

[limpid heart]

Because Zentaro is a young fighter. So you've got the whole premise of someone who's learning to fight and is inspired by the bravery of war heroes.

[torpid cloak]

And he can then share his own history to drek’ar… and maybe drek’ar could tell him about the brave warriors he encountered in space that remind him of zentaros own people..

[limpid heart]

So Drek'ar wants to encourage Zentaro while also giving perspective that war isn't quite the glorious thing it's cracked up to be though the act of soldiering is honorable in its own right.

[torpid cloak]

And they could bond over being isolated..

[torpid cloak]

Oohhhh

Exactly…

That’s what im saying..

Do they even have shared dialogue with each other??

[limpid heart]

"Don't bring a gun to a sword fight Drek'ar."

Zentaro has the most interactions with other characters out of the whole roster if memory serves. So he's actually got one here.

[torpid cloak]

Oh hey!

He’s so sassy

Unforgivable.. drek’ar has none towards zentaro

[violet orchid]

the 2nd one though

[torpid cloak]

We must remedy this immediately

[torpid cloak]

I love that it follows my exact train of thought.

[violet orchid]

yeah

[limpid heart]

One of the big things on writing Drek that I want to get right when I eventually dive deeper into it is his perspective on war.

The game says he admires human's willingness to live in a society built upon peace with passtimes like sport, but I think it's important that he still sees honor in being a soldier. It's very easy to take that beat and run to the extreme of "Drek'ar hates war and disgusted by it."

Which he definitely can become disillusioned to it, that's only natural when you grew up trained to fight your whole life.

[torpid cloak]

[limpid heart]

But it's also his home, and he no doubt had friends and people he respected back in his old unit.

Fighting is still honorable, but his previous home's motivation of conquest and dominion for its own sake is likely to lose some of its luster in time.

[torpid cloak]

Honestly Drek’ar crash landing into their world probably gave him some time to reflect on it

And its that mindset he develops with maelstrom that he can depart such a rich opinion to zentaro about it

Unlike the other members of his planet who im sure are still fighting, he’s been given a reprieve into a peaceful world where such war simply, doesn’t exist

It’s from having both perspectives that he can respect and also criticize his previous homes obsessions with conquest while still taking pride it in.

Ugh it’s not fair..

I need more lore

Immediately

[limpid heart]

I'm now up to I think 8 or so different fic ideas. I wonder which one I'll actually manage to start, let alone finish.

Though I suppose my end notes on my most recent work made the choice of which one I should try starting next.

We'll see if it actually gets done.

[torpid cloak]

8?!

[torpid cloak]

!?!!?!?

SCROLLING BACK IMMEDAITELY

ASHER FOCUSED FIC

And if I paid you tens of millions of dabloons—

[limpid heart]

The Pro League's poor structural integrity in how it functions left me with no shortage of questions on how SSR as a team even exists.

[torpid cloak]

Right?!?!?!

A professional sport and you have a lady and two teens at best

That arent even her own kids

Or family

Literally,,, how did they get in..

[limpid heart]

Suffice to say I tried to figure out a story that gave an out to SSR's existence while also explaining away some aspects about Asher's entry into the Corestrike scene specifically. All that's left is to actually execute writing it well.

[torpid cloak]

My problem with SSR is that—and maybe it’s because I really dont care about this team and dont remember their lore—but I have zero idea what their motivation is even for joining.

[torpid cloak]

I believe!

[violet orchid]

wasn't it because asher is in debt and has to pay it off via prize money

[limpid heart]

Luna wants to test out her inventions (big powerful rockets so she can fly out and find her "missing" probably deceased parents), Juno is just hanging with Luna and wants to explore more of the world, Asher took the two under her wing and is trying to win so she can earn money to pay back some fines she owes for running an illegal Corestrike gambling ring. (She didn't know it was illegal)

[torpid cloak]

If thats the case then why would she not try to be with a more established team..

Like if she wants to win

[limpid heart]

Oh you're already being more charitable than I was.

Why is she playing Corestrike to pay back a fine for breaking the law?

How is she not on community service hours or something?

[torpid cloak]

That

That’s a really good point

Why is she playing core strike to pay a fine??

Wouldn’t she be banned from doing that??

How do they even punish people for breaking the law

Heck, you bring up a really good point

[limpid heart]

Yea, suffice to say this is one of the stories the game did a horrible job selling to me. Which is why I'm writing about it to hopefully tie up some loose ends.

I can't promise a fully satisfactory conclusion because it is quite the contrivance, but I've got some theories.

[torpid cloak]

Oh definitely, it’s also one of the reasons why her summary in comparaison to everyone else feels flat.

[torpid cloak]

I hope that no matter how it goes, you have fun writing it every step of the way!

This game seriously needs to do some more world building

And thats why our GOAT Mr. Pig is here!

[noble bloom]

damn i should learn how to write

it’s peak……….

i wuv writing

[wooden beacon]

I think the fact that he's even willing to act that way is important
I can't recall any openly positive voice lines he has towards anyone, and when you're going "I'm the best always and forever xoxo" even going "yea they're pretty cool" means something etc etc
That or he's tsun and can't stand to say smth so openly adoring without trying to act coy to cover it up

[gentle niche]

Because he doesn't have the bandages around his waist so that's why it appears he has more

[wise jackal]

Bro we need to chat about this anime fr

[violet orchid]

we need to

[wise jackal]

Throughout the whole anime I’m just semi pissed about how bad Kagome treats him

[violet orchid]

I get ya

[wise jackal]

And then everyone for some reason just decides to agree that Inuyasha is in the wrong EVEN THO HE ISNT

[violet orchid]

but she was in an entirely different era

[wise jackal]

She’s so entitled

[violet orchid]

she is just a teen though

but I get ya

[wise jackal]

Kagome:
Gets kidnapped by Koga
Was trying to escape the whole time
Inuyasha risks his life to safe her, was the actual one who defeated the monster, and ended up injuried
Kagome defends Koga (who btw put her life in direct danger multiple times) against inuyasha and made him sit just so Koga could get away

Like what is the thought process behind that

Then she had an argument with him because he thought she liked Koga— BRO IF YOU DEFEND A DEMON THAT NEARLY GOT YOU KILLED LIKE THAT OFC BROS GONNA THINK YOU LIKE HIM

[violet orchid]

I see

[wise jackal]

It’s so unreasonable

I wanted to punch kagome- inuyasha deserved better

Also bro needs to dump Kikiyo

I hate her entire character

[violet orchid]

how so?

[wise jackal]

Half the things she does is so unnecessary

[violet orchid]

yes but also an intention

[wise jackal]

I thought she was a cool character until she got taken back to life

[wise jackal]

No but like there feels like there isn’t any logic behind what she’s doing other then spite

And she takes that spite out a lot on inuyasha

[violet orchid]

I mean kagome is her reincarnation

besides Naraku also played a part in why she acted in certain ways

@wise jackal have you seen Yashahime though?

[wise jackal]

I’m like halfway through season 2

[violet orchid]

I will not spoil

[wise jackal]

I think literally the most logical character in the entire gang is kirara im not even kidding

Bros actually a W teammate that’s not an idiot in any way at all

[violet orchid]

Kirara is the best yes

[wise jackal]

I appreciate Naraku for being a smart villain

Like bro actually take precautions to be safe

Unlike a lot of other villains

Who get themselves killed

[wise jackal]

Sure I can find a time to teach you!! :D

[violet orchid]

Gonna repost these

I really need to start using refs more than rely on my imagination

[modern vigil]

tru

[violet orchid]

Why is it that I was able to draw these without refs but when I try to draw one with a ref I just end up in a cycle of just erasing and redoing the same step over and over again

[neon dome]

Because you have a direct comparison to whatever you're trying to make, which makes you instinctively want to make the art as close as possible to the ref to get it perfect. That is innately why you're using the ref, anyways, at least to your brain. To know what to copy and what not to copy.

(might be yapping nonsense tbh, but that's how i see it)

@naive hedge do you have a reference sheet similar to the butler Kai ref for Kai’s underworld skin?

[torpid cloak]

It’s been a while but here’s a recent Kai!

[noble bloom]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAA

CLAIRE ART GOES HARD!!!!!

[modern vigil]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

INSANE

[torpid cloak]

The silly trend from twitter

[craggy leaf]

[torpid cloak]

Kai obscura au commission to fireblight pipeline you love to see it

[craggy leaf]

all according to keikaku ...

[torpid cloak]

Ive been had!

[violet orchid]

@wooden beacon Kai by Claire

[wooden beacon]

Oo fireblight ftw

Autism be damned my boy can BEND

[torpid cloak]

The autism only makes him more flexible

[wooden beacon]

True !

[torpid cloak]

-# also flexible Kai propaganda

[wooden beacon]

I'm sure he is flexier than the avg joe but I wonder if he's figure skater levels of flexy

[torpid cloak]

[autumn birch]

he’s gonna slice his hand open 😭😭 (so pretty btw avg claire w)

[noble bloom]

nah nah he got the cut-proof gloves on

[violet orchid]

now draw kai and his student /j ||(I know you have seen medalist)||

[torpid cloak]

….

-# how do you know that I was deeply obsessed with the medalist anime when making this

[violet orchid]

I can tell, that and you talked about it before

[torpid cloak]

I actually used a reference for this and you’re surprisingly supposed to hold the blade—I was shocked too!

He’s actually doing a biellmann spin!

[torpid cloak]

Now based on the au (since this was actually an obscura Kai commission with a redesign) I don’t know if he would have a student. He’s definitely more of a jun yodaka in my eyes.. but if I had to give him a student… maybe ai.mi..?

[noble bloom]

mrpig kai content 🔥🔥🔥

i know it says mako but there is also kai trust

[torpid cloak]

Oh my

[torpid cloak]

[fierce mountain]

[torpid cloak]

Kai enjoyers where is your flame

You need to lock in

Your flame will never die!

Maintain it!

Persist!

Endure!

You are strong and you ARE Kaination

None of this loser talk

[fierce mountain]

[torpid cloak]

Now that’s what I like to see

[violet orchid]

I mean most of us have either moved on or are drawing different things

[torpid cloak]

-# well yeah, I’d know I’m one of those people

But even apart we should still remain happy

Even if we don’t have the same interest anymore

Cough cough and if they need a server to migrate to the Kitchen is totally availab—💥💥💥

I mean

I’d never

I follow the rules

[violet orchid]

You did forget 1 Kai artist to invite

[torpid cloak]

False

[violet orchid]

@/jaybreebean

[torpid cloak]

Oh snap

Well to be fair.. a lot of the other Kai artist were leaving even when the games server was more active

I miss them..

Even if it was just chatting

[violet orchid]

[torpid cloak]

I had a lot of fun

[violet orchid]

We all did

[torpid cloak]

Though, I am having a lot of fun doing my own thing as well, I hope wherever they are they are happy

-# and uh, they should call me 🤙

[violet orchid]

Also what you doing? Drawing?

[torpid cloak]

Yeah! I was making more progress on my animated thing I shared before

Started over with the tweening and I’m liking how it’s turning out!

Thinking of drawing a background or at least more things to fill up space though

[modern vigil]

JAY I MISS YOUUUUUUUUU

[torpid cloak]

I’m learning a lot of things I should avoid for next time

[violet orchid]

I see

I was in the middle of drawing a ref for anatomy purposes but I didn’t save it because in the comments it said that it might’ve been ai

[torpid cloak]

Oh if you want I can send you good websites for pose refs that aren’t ai

I sent a pretty good resource last time that should work for that

And I could also ask some people I know in the industry what they use

They have so many good resources I’d be happy to share

[violet orchid]

[violet orchid]

Feel free to do so

[zealous crystal]
