#tsbs rant

Speaking of your designs, what made you design Eclipse the way you did?

Ruin’s Design Explanation!

I figured i’d do a whole rundown because I’ve been asked why I designed em like this before!

Secret design LORE, comic sneak-peaks, in-character dialogue, headcanons, and more!

Eclipse will be a separate one, his has a lot more history!! The color palette question is answered in #7!!

And now, some in-character lore…

Yes he in fact has trans scars. Why? The AI’s are all naturally agender and can be programmed to act as a singular gender. Gender itself is not a real concept to them, and is only there to make humans feel more comfortable.

After everything Ruin has gone through, delving into human life and discovering the different genders humans may identify as, he related to the struggles of transgender slander, being labeled as a complete freak for being born the way he is and then outcasted for it. He designed those scars himself to give himself his own “identity” as you would program into him.

Ruin has no specified gender (my specific Ruin) but he leans towards being a feminine he/him.

In shorter terms I watched all his past abuse and all I could think about was transgender representation.

SNEAK PEAK COMIC!!

The comic’s results in present day!

More in-character transferring to my own thoughts.

Extra questions:

why the hell is he blue tinted

Just mood coloring! He’s not ACTUALLY blue-ish grey. It is color theory fr fr!

WHERE’S HIS MARRIAGE RING

I frORGOOOOTTT ASSROTPPPPPP DOFNT YEEL ATT MEEEEE

its just ruining my love for Nexus's character bc all that happens with him anymore is arguing with ppl about how hes a victim or smth to the point where he isnt even enjoyable anymore.

Can we just move on from it? All of it? Im sick of hearing people hate and shit all over a damn character simply because they did bad (DESPITE the fact that they were treated wrong and doomed by the writing), and im sick and tired of watching people fight and argue with others because it just cant be dropped, be it from haters or defenders. Atp it doesnt make the fandom fun anymore. Bc people are calling others hypocrites for liking one character or sympathizing with another. And like- in general, the tension for agreeing/disagreeing with a character as well as the constant bitter debates is toxic, and it makes others distance from said character(s) or males them uncomfortable with even associating with others who like the character. (This doesnt go for everybody, but im being honest with what ive seen.)

I barely even want to play or write for Nexus anymore, because this whole Ruin vs Nexus comparison crap going in is just ruining my love for BOTH of the characters. Im tired of watching people crap on others, and im tired of watching the constant bickering. Its a character, a fictional character. Both of them are. And seeing all of this just makes me like the character less. Im sure thats how its going for alot of ppl, too.

Hes dead, I don't know what there is to argue about anymore. At this point its like talking to brick walls- like. Nobody listens anyway, youre not gonna change ppls minds no matter how much you try. Its making ppl resent you. Im tired of trying to love a character only to get shot down or have to watch others argue so damn hard to the point that liking the character feels like a stereotype as to who you are (Like im a bad person, who supports him or was part of the whole "big supposed Nexus defenders harrasment group" which btw I havent been able to find)- or just in general something to feel ashamed for. That goes for everyone, theres alot of ppl who look down on others for liking this guy. Even the VAS who have made it clear multiple times that they like making fun of ppl who like Nexus

I really wish things could be better. I dont know, this whole part fandom is just toxic.

Similar to that one animated SMP series, just having a vr scene play out and then CUTTING to a full blown animation when the Vr Models aren’t enough.

The amount of amazing action ideas I have in my brain would be so cool to animate and I desperately need to draw someone crashing out.

I make my own biology / anatomy for all of them so I can make realistic stuff…including injuries, powers, etc…

LIKE IMAGINE - YOU KNOW HOW THE RUIN VIRUS SPREAD THROUGH BLUETOOTH??

CLIMAX EPISODE HAPPENS. Antagonist (Monty or Ruin) (Monty for present day, Ruin for 50 yr old war scenes) is alone (or with mentor, The Creator) and they come to the conclusion to spread their virus.

A bluetooth icon appears in front of them, a hologram made out of that weird microsoft discovered matter - and they just swipe the bluetooth toggle on.

BOOM!! VIRUS EVERYWHERE LIKE A SONIC BOOM!! IT’S IN THE SCREENS! THE TELEPHONE POLES! THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS! THE STREET LIGHTS! ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE. It’d be so cool.

But then, I remember all my designs for TSBS are way too original to fit into the show and Davis + the team would probably drop the idea

Staring at my current resources as well wondering how the HELL I’d pull it off. [Ibis, Capcut, Flipaclip…the tragic 3’s…]

there are some designs like Saturn and Mel (for ex) that I love but the others I just hate (and I can excuse some because they're most likely models rented like Sunny and Moonie)

now im going to be honest and bit harsh on these gripes, so got a problem? block me

and will I be redesigning these characters? yeah most definitely
