For anybody who has ever been confused of my art with Soffis's, I apologize.
I am a fan. I have never ever tried to go beyond that. I simply draw like this because even if I have been drawing like the official style, this has been my art style even before teag. What can I do if my hand just draws like this now?
I've been busy these days, I haven't been able to catch up and process every criticism. I'll hopefully be back soon and address this better then. But until then, everybody take care, and please understand my au and art as fan media, nothing else.

I don't understand the concept of changing characters' personalities. Don't we like them precisely because they are the way they are? Why change that? I feel that some people are forgetting what Neo and Nulla are really like, and I miss seeing them in a more canonical way now 😔 This cute, nice Neo just doesn't feel right.
Will you draw them like this again someday? 🥺 I love your work!
Hello!
(A slightly serious response with a little length to it, read if you want to!)
(Edit: This became long and more serious than I intended. Venty at this point. Read if you want to...)
From how I understand why people feel intrigued by the concept of personality swaps, I believe it's because of the out of character absurdity of it. In simple words, it's just another source of entertainment for fans by thinking of the what-ifs for the characters they love. Like how aus generally work. And imagining characters acting polar to how they usually are... It is at least somewhat amusing. Is it not?
I don't believe personality swaps are enjoyed because people are unhappy with the way characters are portrayed and prefer them another way. In my case, I drew the swapped personality thing just for shits and giggles, never with an intent to edit or rewrite the characters. I love them just the way they are! And that's why I came to make this blog. The reason I've been drawing Neo all flustered and opposite is also for the same reason: entertainment, especially because Neo's core character being a narcissitic prick makes me want to retaliate via artwork I imagine he wouldn't be happy with. So... Understand it like this: personality swaps are done by people wanting to mess with the characters and see what happens. Curiosity, and perhaps something like sadism layered on it if I were being honest.
Plus, the Swapped!AU I thought of is NOT a personality swap. It was never intended to be one, that's also why I called it "swapped" instead of "swap". Because the au's essence is based on the idea of "What if Neo managed to devour Nulla and take his place, and we start the game with Neo as Nulla's role. Vice versa with Nulla being stuck in the memories?" I do sometimes worry people mistake it for a character swap as well... So I wanted to mention it in this post just in case.
And I really hope people aren't beginning to think of Nulla and Neo as the way I've been portraying them in mine and other's aus. That's never my intention. I am solely an indulgent fanartist. I don't want to influence or cause any harm to how people enjoy the beauty of teag.
One of my recent worries have been that I may have been being too indulgent, especially with the aus. I fear that I am perhaps toying with these characters that aren't mine too much. But the love I got from the swapped!au has become unintentionally addictive, and I know it. As I respond to questions regarding this au... Telling people how these altered characters would react in certain settings... I feel more and more unease. Because I can't stop seeing myself as a plagiarizer over someone's masterpiece. And that unsettles me.
Also, how my attention has diverged to focus on my own alteration of this world that I love instead of the real thing... It makes me feel fake? I don't know how to put it. I think I'm just scared of being too indulgent with my delusions.
I know I'm responding off subject at this point. My apologies. Responding to this one made me realize things. And to answer your last question, I will definitely focus more on the canon protrayal of the characters. Well. As canon as I can make them seem to be, as a fan.
(But I will try and respond to all the swapped!au asks I get. So for those interested and curious about this au, don't be deterred from asking. I don't want others' enjoyment to be stopped by me.)
Someone sent this to me, and I think it’s important for me to speak up so that no one feels bad for creating something.
TEAG was made precisely so that you can take the characters and make them your own. The entire plot revolves around changing “owners” to keep existing (in Septem’s case) or taking this new owner to destroy everything the previous one built (in Nulla’s case).
You, the player, are constantly referred to as a creator or someone with enough power to change things.
And that is exactly what Yoon does with these AUs.
Honestly, I feel that Nulla, with how desperate he is for your attention and love, would be thrilled to be called yours and to receive so much affection through the art or writing you make of him in this AU.
Besides, this is how fandoms work. AUs and fan content are what keep a fandom alive or give the game even more life. More possibilities, more new ideas, more depth.
It’s beautiful.
I want to make it clear that just because an AU exists, people are not going to start thinking differently about the characters in the game or get them confused.
Before finishing, I want to say a few words to you, Yoon:
What you’ve created with these AUs is completely original and amazing. It’s a super interesting concept.
Taking something you love and playing with the endless possibilities that fiction and our imagination give us is something you should never feel ashamed or worried about.
You’re not plagiarizing anything, and you’re not “fake” for creating content from an AU that you like and that many other people enjoy too.
Concept art for a scene during SNulla vs. SNeo fight, wherein he finally gets to address you after the last time you two talked.
Lol. Ignore the random ahh update after being dead for like a month.
I actually had this done like 2 months ago, but then clip studio screwed me over and deleted the 2nd half of the image. Made me irritated, hence I prolonged finishing it, but I felt motivation last week and redid it to completion. I wasn't sure about the dialogue and I'm still unsure, but I wanted to post this sooner than later before it rots in my files for too long 💀.
Anyways... Unfortunately, don't expect me to be back with more things anytime soon haha💦 but... I'll be back and much more active one day. Likely during summer!
