In love with your Lightner AU! Maybe Ralsei ran away from whatever home (orphanage?) they came from this world, and took shelter in an abandonded house? Oooo, what if it's a Castle Themed Bed and Breakfast place, long since fallen to disrepair?
And now a bunch of weirdos (Ralsei included, hehe) live there?
You're art is lovely, thanks for sharing it with the world! ^w^
Thank you!! Ralsei's castle being an abandoned building fits the vibe of chapter 1 soooo well. A lonely Prince and their empty castle.

I shouldn't need to explain to yall why it's an absolutely REPREHENSIBLE idea that a character or their relationship with another is "less queer" or "lesbian erasure" because the person they're being paried with is non-binary.
say it louder. i think that if someone sees a character dressed up as a knight and immediately goes 'male-coded', it warrants some self-reflection.
kriselle is especially prone to this because ohhh wow girl in dress, person in pants or armor, wow, much gender roles. and i'm honestly so tired of the 'snowgrave is a heteronormative hell metaphor' take. kris is non-binary and nothing they or the player does can downplay that. 'oh but the ring', do you other queer ppl get married with the use of friendship bracelets instead. what. even if this theme is there, there's nothing straight about it??? i'm about to explode you
you promised a krusielle relationship chart. where is the krusielle relationship chart
here is the krusielle relationship chart. fucking shiver before it. i even threw in some songs as freebies
tldr miss abandonment issues miss anxious attachment and mx guilt complex walk into the bar to create the wildest yuri known to man. i am determined to make it work for them
you can barely tell i think about these three a lot i think. i'm really subtle like that
feel free to ask me more ab them whatever the hell. ik it's hard to believe but i have more to say

I had this comic in another post with the gif I made from my TADC fast food animatic, but I figured I'd put it in its own post so it could be its own thing.
ANYWAY, Zooble is on the (stupid) sauce and does their best to make out with Gangle.
Gangle and Zooble later talk about what happened, off the sauce and when the adventure's over, then they get together for real (and maybe kiss some more??)
The Family That Slays Together Stays Together (a TADC Left 4 Dead 2 animatic)
TW for lotsa blood spilt (but it’s zombie blood so that’s a good thing)
I started this like a week after the stream came out this took twoish months to do I blame the zombie designs and the urge to do a free bird fight scene hope you enjoy okbyenow
Future Me: BWAHHHHHHH Thank you for the feedback! I shared scenes storyboards/notes in this post for anyone who needs to understand the methods behind my madness. Enjoy!!

OHHH MYYY GOD HUMAN BY FLAVOR FOLEY IS SO AMAZING. METAL CODED. DEADASS. i am going feral wit hw iw with my metal fixation ohhho oohhhh dudeeee. i can't stop listening. it's literally 1 am and i a m drawing this. tumblr please see my vision
(This probably isn't even close to attaining what I'm going for here.)
Anyway, surprising that nobody has made this connection before, really. I mean, green hair, heir to a sovereign kingdom... pretty easy to link this up to Skifander somehow.
Headcanon Freedom fighters (or basically how I would like to group characters together in teams to fight Eggman):
Knothole FF: One of the first to start their revolt against the mad Doctor. They live in the forest of the Knothole Village, under the leadership of Princess Sally Acorn.
Angel Island Guardians: Originally just starting with Knuckles, the group slowly grew as the timeline went on. Now becoming one of the largest of the FF, all of them have a close relationship with the Rad Red.
The Spiral Hill Restoration: Forming much later than the others, this group has ties to the Restoration, making it the most resourceful of them. Still new and inexperienced, the group has Lanolin the Sheep, a young leader that's still getting the hang of keeping things together.
Shijin Warriors: Hailing all the way from the east, these shaolin warriors where formed thanks to Monkey Kahn. They protect the land of Kar Leung and the Shijin Shrine, often being moderators to the neighboring clans.
Spagonai Fighters: A group residing on the outskirts Spagonia, operating on the old ruins of the mad doctor. They are well versed with the doctors' tricks and doodats. Johnny lightfoot acts as the leader of this rag tag group.
Woodland Kingsmen: From the woods of Merica, lead by Bow Sparrow, they seek to dethrone the current king and establish a new monarchy. They mostly rely on old forms of weaponry and rarely use modern technology.
Desert Raiders: The smallest of the groups, living off the dessert, they are often fighting at odds through tick and thin. Lead by Spike the Porcupine, they seem to idealize Sonic and co.
Arctic Fighters: From the cold of the northern tundra. Lead by Guntiver the Arctic Wolf, these fighters fight the cold just as hard as they fight for freedom.
Others that I group together, but don't have a stationary place:
Forget me Knots: A world traveling band, lead by the famous Mina Mongoose. Their songs are the inspiring melodies that keep the world safe from tyranny.
Chaotix: The three man group of detectives, lead by the man himself, Vector the Crocodile. These misfits can solve any case, for the right price. But when trouble seems too unjust, they are willing to give their support, on the house.
also all of the art here is not mine, art used are from: JoeAdok, Drawloverlala, liris-san, SomeJoJoGuy, and the castle I can't remember.
I remember exactly one fic where Jiro had OFA, and it was very funny because her schtick among the OFA users was "has a healthy work/life balance." She was ranked in the three hundreds because she did hero work part-time while dedicating most of her time to her music, so nobody realized that she was the strongest hero in the world because she'd just solve big problems really quick without people realizing and then go back to her band. Instead, Momo was number 1. I never found it again.

from my sources adjacent to tumblr--from which i can spread rumors and insider information freely because i dont give a fuck about ever working in the tech sector--im hearing this round of firings was focused on purging the senior staff, and not just from support but from the entire remaining tumblr workforce. i'm hearing there are about 25 people left.
This is important, people. Please don't scroll past this one.
While I don't think that Tumblr is about to shut down anytime soon, as a fandom old who lost my community and my people when the fandom diaspora happened from LiveJournal, I want to urge that you do something NOW:
Get your backup account(s) elsewhere NOW
Let your moots know your username(s) at those places NOW
Follow your moots at their places NOW
I mean this with all my heart. Get this done now. Get set up and find your people now. Tumblr is the home of fandom now, just as LiveJournal was the home of fandom way back. And you could end up losing your fandom home just as easily and quickly as us old LJ people did way back then.
It's a horrible feeling, and most old LJ users still mourn the loss of it to this day.
The rest of this gets a bit long, so it needs to go behind a cut, but please take a moment out of your scrolling to read it.
TUMBLR IS FANDOM. It's where we all are. Yes, many of us probably have random accounts here or there - a Pillowfort, a BlueSky, a website set up at some free, ad-supported place, etc - but if you are active on Tumblr, then this is where your people are. This is where your community is.
Just like my people and community were on LiveJournal. We lived through a lot of shit together (seriously, look up LiveJournal on Fanlore or Wikipedia sometime) but in the end we all ended up scrambling to try and find both a new place and each other too late.
And, when you find your 'backup places' don't just stick a link to your Carrd or Linktree in your Tumblr profile. Actively tell your moots in a post (reblog it occasionally, too) where they can find you, and encourage them to find and follow you there, too. They're not going to have that link in your profile if Tumblr suddenly shuts off the lights, so make sure you actively let people know where to find you elsewhere.
Some suggestions:
Pillowfort and/or BlueSky
If you're the kind of Tumblr user who is a 'thought-vomiter' (i.e., you post a LOT, and it's often random observations and brain farts, short quickfire stuff throughout your day) try either Pillowfort (which is still in open beta and currently has a rolling waitlist to join) or BlueSky. Both are Twitter/X type sites in their layout. (And avoid Twitter/X like the fucking plague. Just, seriously, don't go there.)
Dreamwidth
If you're the kind of Tumblr user who needs more than a couple of hundred characters for some (or many) of your posts, and you really relish community and interaction, head to Dreamwidth.
While I have accounts on all three of the platforms I've just linked you to, it'll be Dreamwidth where I make my home if Tumblr goes down the tubes. Yes, its backend user interface looks a bit late-2000s, but that's because it was built out of the LiveJournal diaspora, off the back of (and improved upon) the old open source LJ code, and it has all the incredible features that LJ had (and still has, if you don't mind accepting that hateful ToS and never mentioning anything to do with LGBTQ+ at all over there).
Crucially, Dreamwidth is committed to remaining ad-free, and it is incredibly easy to find your fandom/people over there (as long as they are over there) using the interests search. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but it's well worth it for the incredibly customisable reading list, which acts like the Tumblr dashboard, and the granularity with which you can set your posts. It's had communities since the very start, and you can even set up custom filters for different groups of people you want to post to, so your Marvel-loving moots can see your Marvel stuff, your Minecraft-loving moots can see your Minecraft stuff, and your closest friends who you trust with anything are the only people who can see the deeply personal stuff you've posted to the group you've set up just for them. Want to post with different icons? You've got 15 of them completely free. There is so much to Dreamwidth, and I wish more people knew about it and used it.
But what about Discord?
By all means find and join Discord servers for your fandom, but please do not let fandom disappear into thousands of completely separate, unsearchable, unfindable Discord servers. Find a place where people can find you easily, and where you can find other people easily if/when you leave your current fandom for whatever reason at some point in the future and get into a new fandom.
Imagine if there was no Tumblr right now. It's just gone. Poufs overnight. And you've just got into an incredibly good new TV show/movie/book/etc., and you need to find your people for it. How would you do that, if they're all sitting in their own private Discord servers, possibly invite-only and not listed anywhere like Disboard? You can't.
So - while Discord is great if you already have that all-important URL to join the server - it's a lot harder to find your people if you've no idea where to get that URL.
Image hosting
It's important to note that none of the sites I've linked to have native image-hosting (as yet - that's why Tumblr is ad-supported, because image hosting costs a shit ton of money), so you'll need to find some kind of image-hosting site out there if you're someone who posts a lot of visuals. Fandom artists will likely already have their spaces for that, but there are plenty of free image hosts out there.
Closing thoughts
Did this post (and the linked article - if you even read it rather than just glancing at the headline) alarm you? Make you feel anxious? Well, I'm sorry for that, but honestly? It should. Anxious is how I felt, as well as completely lost and cast adrift, when I lost my online home and my fandom peeps all those years ago. And this long-arsed post is my way of trying to help you prevent those feelings for yourself if this latest round of layoffs at Tumblr and other places owned by Automattic eventually leads to our current fandom home shutting down.
Do I think that Tumblr will close anytime soon? No, I don't. I think it would continue limping along until it came to the point where it's making too much of a loss to make any kind of business sense for it to be kept on life support any longer. After all, fanfction.net is still struggling along - riddled with bot and scam comments and with absolutely no support for any of its users who are enduring them - to this day. But is it a home? Hell no.
Don't let apathy take the wheel for you over this. Don't think, "I'll get around to doing that later. Tumblr's not going anywhere soon," and then forget about it until that point where you wish you had done it all that time ago. It takes a handful of minutes to secure an account (or, in the case of Pillowfort, to get on the waitlist) so get your accounts set up now, even if you never use them afterwards.
If you do, then you may be very grateful to your current self sometime in your future.
Better to have them now, with all your friends and moots already following you and knowing where to find you, than to be left standing there like Confused Travolta with your coat over your arm and wondering where the fuck you find your fandom home again as it once again enters a new diaspora.
To my own moots who may be reading this, look out for a post from me shortly, where I'll let you know my other online locations.
