#slbu lore

Thought I'd start by posting the timeline. Because why not. Also some vague stuff about what's in each bit. Very vague. I'll prolly elaborate sometime.

Probably.

(It looks like shit btw lmao)

Descriptions under here bc L O N G (actually there's just loads)

Sleepy vacuum

(Full version and lore under the cut)

⚠️ The full version depicts it being underwater, and murky water at that. I want it to be known that that is the intended look.

⚠️ In the description of lore, there is some very unsettling concepts of death and disease. Please tread carefully

But look I added Vex! Prolly gonna change the colours on him though I'm not sure how I feel about them... but they do need to be different same as Shadow's red instead of blue, it's a whole lore thing that certain powers have different colours in each dimension (so main is blue, zero is red and the other one's green).

Another concept for zero Vex is that he has Johnny's power stones braided into his arms, so if ever he's not wearing that coat they'll shine though whenever he uses his abilities!

It's lore time nyahahahaaaaa-

(I drew this like 3 years ago man and the photo is bad bc I'm too lazy to take a new one)

Aight aight so what you see here is one lightbulb man with his wings device thing that he made and also a special suit of armour. And yes, yes he can pull some of the metal sheets from the wing pack to use as swords. Because I wanted to make him an adorable badass.

Aaaaanyway, WAAAAAYYYYY after the events of all the games, and after most of the events of my story, Newton and a few others created a kind of.. Avengers-but-on-a-way-bigger-scale group to keep the Imagisphere safe.

They called it the Imaginatrix.

So the suit of armour, he designed and created it, and has made like hundreds of them for everyone else who joined. They have electro-or-whatever-it-is shields (something he figured out how to weaponise thanks to meeting his decidedly more evil parallel self some time before this) that can be used in a variety of ways. He modified his own one to account for things like the Glitch (power-mad evil-as-shit corrupted alter-ego he developed after the Titans, which then absorbed some of OC Shadow's Power and became both his greatest weapon and his greatest enemy), but most of them are pretty generic. I mean there's differences for certain characters, obviously, there's no "one size fits all" in the Imagisphere... But the general idea is the same.

Vaguely-Newton-related story stuff. EXTRA DIMENSIONS. Because apparently I can't make this thing confusing enough...

Aaaanyway I posted a bit of him before but I.. Never did a full colour version of him???

Anyway here's a redraw! Of an old thing... I never originally posted... because I was embarrassed about my interests not really existing online.

Meet... Well, Newton. All the other characters call him Newton (or various nicknames revolving around the word "creep"). In my notes and stuff, I refer to him as Parallel so that I can differentiate the two versions - which is important for the purpose of not getting confused since they do end up meeting each other.

Uhhhh this is getting kinda long so more under here - plus another element of his design which is... uh idk what to tag it but I think that good old body horror favourite of mine will cover it.

WELL

Firstly, thank you! I'm so glad you think it's cool!

Secondly, asking about the whole thing?? Bold move mate, I can talk about this thing for hours, it's a clusterfuck of 4 years worth of ideas, there's so much to it I could be here all day...

So it started as a self insert to cope with shit - LBP3 was literally my life and I saw so much of myself in Newton that I kinda just... Heh. Enter OC Shadow.

She's a character I've had TONS of versions of over the years - this is the one that I use most though (but I added the others in somewhere ajsjskdjd). The main premise of the story is that she has a Power to balance and control the universe.. it only she knew how to use it! The Power is as old as time and gets passed down to certain individuals through the generations - usually in the Haeven (the immortal/demimortal realm; angels, demons, fallens, reapers, etc it's a whole thing) but APPARENTLY it either saw something in her worth fucking up the universe for OR it was bored as shit (the latter me thinkses)

This out of control Power led to a disruption of the balance. Shadow was experimented on growing up because of her abilities, and as a result ended up creating Vex who shares her powers - but also (as currently unknown to him) has the ability to Corrupt anything. Every major villain (with supernatural powers) has something unique that separates them from the rest. Vex and his Corruption power, the S.M.U.D (demon snek thing) being able to absorb and use any type of power it wants (Vex figures this out a bit later but he's not made for it so he go melty)

I mean I have 21 different note folders, 20 of them to categorise stuff I write into their respective story arcs - 12 main timeline arcs and 8 side stories that are JUST as important to the timeline but they're like different perspectives.

For example, the Psychoverse (as I call it) is an alternate dimension to the main one where Newton and the Titans were never stopped. It technically appears in the 9th main story arc, but it has a side story with all the shenanigans that happened before leading up to that (it's hella dramatic).

I also have a side story about Newton's past! It's very... metaphory. Also angst. Emo teen Newton is mean (also headcannon he didn't always have the prestige accent! He trained himself into it, but he goes back to the old one when he's drunk it's kinda funny)

Anyway so yeah I'll stop rambling on this tangent (ugh tangents why do I always aksjskbddj). This thing is a gigantic clusterfuck of literally every genre. There's cutesy shit (Shawton ship hhhhhh I love them they're so cute together), comedy shenanigans, soap-opera level drama, horror and gore, action...

Just a lil sketchy doodle of some shit cracking off

Do I post this...?

Like. Will actually freeze up at the sight of anything bigger than a puddle.
