you mean the one that spawned in a few days ago that Francy is helping me with? hmm let's see

- WIP playlist

- Viva piñata (THE GAMES NOT THE SHOW) are games about attracting animals to your garden and basically cultivating a really nice one, achievements and awards optional. There’s a lot to do in them. I’m using them as a basis for this; there’s more to this than what’s in the games. For example, I want to expand on the world and the people a bit more.

- sun centric, along the lines of “Sun Runs Away” AUs but unsure if it’s specifically that. Essentially Sun is carving out a life for himself, on his terms, in another dimension. Solo mission, needs space from the family, got stuck in a new dimension alone? Idk yet. Dahlia is a major recurring mentor figure. (Not dahlia himself, a dimensional equivalent)

- slow burn, Sun working through some emotions while learning about the world and people and how to tend a garden. All the conflicts are emotional and personal and only sometimes external when coming from characters themselves. Very much a quiet, cozy village setting. There are definitely antagonists but unsure about actual villains yet. Think melting a glacier with a lighter kind of slow burn.

- im very excited about the character design potential. ideas ideas ideas

- planned characters (these guys I already have ideas for and are justified to be included): Sun, [VARIANTS OF: Eclipse, Sun, Moon, Carme, Dahlia, Willow, Aspen, Dazzle, Mel?, Solar, Sebastian and Joy, Charlie, TBA because characters appear as they get justified/when I find a place for them in a narrative] [I’ve been going back and forth on including Puppet, Nightshade, Nexus, and Rigel. I want them somewhere but they’d only really exist to haunt a specific narrative and may never actually show up at all outside of like, flashbacks.]

- character is king: learning about the characters is treated as plot points. the point of this is to learn about everyone and the world while sun works through his issues. because of this, I will be very selective about what I share about the characters besides very basic information like occupation. For example, Carme is a hunter, and that’s probably all I can say about him right now without spoiling things that I intend to be plot points.

- I would like to write a fic for this, but also draw comics occasionally. Concepts will be shared freely when I get around to it.

- do research into the games at your own risk. I do it loosey goosey style with most things. I’m moreso borrowing the world, the games were never really character heavy/focused.
