Born alone and nameless neath a crimson sky we'll learn to fly one day

No one to hold on to Ain't nobody's son but I'll reach that sun one day

A shot in the dark This is all we are A shot in the dark Little lonesome stars

- "A Shot in the Dark" by Smash Into Pieces 

All L-1024500 wants is to be the best Bedwars player he can be, to distinguish himself from the other hordes of other nameless game-born cogs bred to fight and bleed to entertain Hypixel's masses. He might not have a long life, but by all the stars in all the skies, he'll make sure he has a memorable one. But then... Secret letters passed through a crack in the wall, signed with a bear's pawprint. A naive foreigner who speaks of loving parents and worlds outside Hypixel's borders. A strong-willed firecracker of a girl whose love of the stars rivals his own. A free-thinking rebel who refuses to play anyone's games but his own. A bright-eyed hopeful who looks up to him for once. A cutthroat mercenary displaying humanity in the unlikeliest of places. A wily fairy who thrives despite being marooned on a server far from her origin. And an enigmatic masked man who dares to dream bigger than anyone he's ever met. And slowly, L-1024500 - Purpled, his name is Purpled - starts to yearn for something more, too. (or: My take on c!Purpled's backstory. Daemon AU.)

Tucker: Mainly listens to audiobooks while doing boring tasks, so he barely reads physical books. He listens to a pretty wide variety of books, but tends to sway towards practical books on things he thinks he might need in the future. He also likes books with dense plots and lots of twists, like murder mysteries, because he enjoys the challenge of puzzling all the details out before it's revealed in the end.

Cheap: has terrible reading comprehension. He can read things when concentrating but processing is a whole different ballpark, so he prefers to stick to things with pictures like comics (his usual pick), magazines (only ones about interesting stuff like food or animals), and children's books on occasion (if he likes one of the characters enough. Note, he's particularly tickled by Pete the Cat)

Ali: LOVES horror/thriller. He quite likes mysteries and dramas too, but his favorite books are all horrors. Obviously he's read a lot of Stephen King, but he's also a big fan of Shirley Jackson and Riley Sager and their respective works.

Walli: Will read just about anything. He likes asking his friends for recommendations, not just for new reading material but also to hear them nerd out about anything they thought he'd enjoy. Is the one most likely to enjoy school reading.

Esta: Huge fantasy buff. He loves imagining different fantasy scenarios, especially ones that twist a common trope and push through the odds. He's a big fan of royalty related stuff too. And yes, of course he's read all of both Bridgerton and the PJO series'. He also reads sci-fi on occasion, but he prefers base fantasy.

GoodTimesWithScar & Wallibear

You can interpret this pairing however you desire... Platonic, familial, romantic, etc...

I was approached by Creo to design Wallibears cards for MCC TCG, the standard cards needed to be reflective of the game Sky Block, so when it was stated that the collector card can be anything, as long as it had the creator I immediately wanted a snowy background for Wallibear.

I designed 4 thumbnails for the collector card. Wallibear chose his favourite, and I cleaned it up.

There was a bit of back and forth regarding face design, Wallibear ended up going for the dot eyes like the common cards of the set

The next proper update was when I had finished the line art, while colouring I started with the background, leaving wallibear till last.

And there you go. One more Wallibear card
