chaos theory.

world of balance  —  this verse operates as essentially the main universe, containing most any canon from varying fandoms.

world of ruin  —  this verse will specifically encompass most any canon for fandoms or worlds that would fall under post-apocalyptic or dystopian.

world of disarray  —  this verse follows the timeline of connor in a unstable state and can sometimes operate as a subverse to either of those listed above; just specifically when her control and mind is a little more out of whack.

i’m gonna guess that you mean like what are things that i took into consideration during her creation / inception as a character inspirationally and influentially? if so, there are a lot of things that i drew from both conceptually and aesthetically in building her as a character. there are actually a lot of things that would qualify as horror or psychological thriller that were pretty important in the process.

overall? the biggest non-media influences are the ideas surrounding the concepts of chaos theory and the butterfly effect. both of these are connected and have always been a big thing in connor’s themes and conceptualization.

here are a few major elements from over the years:

linkin park’s music / video aesthetics:—  papercut’s visuals—  in the end, lyrically more than visually—  faint, lyrically

florence + the machine’s music / video aesthetics:—  shake it out, lyrically more than visually—  ship to wreck, like everything tbh—  drumming song, everything 

donnie darko  —  the concepts featured played a substantial role in much of my initial character / world building process.

and then here are some more recent additions to what is influencing a lot about her as a whole / as a character:

until dawn’s thematics and aesthetic are huge as fuck

imagine dragons’ music / some video aesthetics

horror films such as green room, as explored / discussed on this post

visuals, concepts and themes in games from supergiant games are big mood
