#ava shepard

In case someone doesn't know, several hours ago Alan dropped a new newsletter as part of the free subscription you can get. Which included a new teaser for AVA:

Obviously, it's a Newgrounds page showing several animations. Out of curiosity and to see if we can get any lore, I checked Newgrounds to see which animations are real, and which were made up for AVA 11. This is the result:

To start out, the Reds. The ones we know are real videos up on Newgrounds. It's worth to note that the newest episode here is from December 2006. Not only does this prove this is a Victim origin, it also gives us a date on what's the earliest moment Victim could've escaped onto the Outernet, and proves it was just one month after Chosen's creation (Nov 2006). So here is some timeline-building.

Now, the Purples. I looked through Newgrounds, and couldn't find any animation or game to match these searches. They could be real, or they could be made by Alan for AVA. Here's a list for anyone who wants to help:

1 - Bathroom

2 - Alfred Pokingstick

3 - An American Action Movie (which shows up twice for some reason)

4 - Deep Creatures: The Game

5 - Build Me Up Buttercup

6 - Coldplay - Yellow

7 - Daft Punk Collab

8 - Dead Dude

9 - Crimson Pistols

10 - Bad Flash Kills

And to end things off, the Blues. Animations that were very likely created purely for AVA and might be important characters in AVA 11. The list is:

1 - Mitsi. She(?) seems to have long hair, so we might get the second female stick in the whole series behind Pink.

2 - Silly Steven. He looks EXACTLY like the sticks at the beginning of The Box, so he's very likely lore important.

3 - The Shepard. It's worth to note the previous teaser showed a bunch of sheep, so if he's been teased twice then he's likely very important.

Anyway, here’s an art piece @bethadastra @bethadastra-art made of my shepard on a prompt, still brings a smile every now and again.
