Collab art piece has my soul. Took a while to do the coloring, but it has been worth the time and effort. My pencil died multiple times throughout working in it, forcing me to step away from it.

@bloomingskullz did the sketch and line art.

I pitched the idea for the art piece while I was watching. Enjoy the pitch:

[aghostcalledhollow]

Been rewatching some episodes of Codebreak recently (Zane's POV) and I don't think it really hit me on first watch how 'hollowed out' he is in the most recent two episodes (Torment and especially Missing Texture).

It's like all of his emotions have been turned down. He's quieter, he's slower to do things. Even when he fights back it doesn't quite have the same level of energy.

Man... someone needs to give Zane a hug.

[bloomingskullz]

It’s actually really sad to see.

Cause like he had one bad interaction that made him feel bad about himself, but then everything that happened right after just proved those feelings correct to him.

He thought he was good at the game but when Ra made it slightly harder he suddenly couldn’t do anything. “Proving” that he is actually weak and “still like Luci”

And suddenly he has Josie in his ear almost 24/7 just repeating he is everything he doesn’t want to be and showing Zane how little control he actually has over himself.

He can’t even find comfort in his friends cause when he went to Fizz, Josie just started messing with him instead. When he went to Ezra, it got an update and doesn’t know how to help him. And he doesn’t know how to approach Myth since their fight even tho Zane’s closes to him.

The pros of being the arty sibling: you get free art supplies from family

Cons of being the arty sibling: they expect you to be able to all types arts and crafts

[bloomingskullz]

Can we talk about how sad it is that Zane didn’t feel like he could be himself cause his parents were his only irl support system. But then all the online friends he had WERE FROM THE SAME PLACE AS HIM!

He could of had a support system if only he met them offline like he tried to do with Myth

After today is over I can get back to the one thing I was born to do

Obsess over codebreak

So Ra is the sibling Sadie’s looking for right?

Cause like first of all RA and RAine, it’s right in the name

But also Ra is strangely nice to her compared to everyone.

Durning the maze stream, when Ra was messing with everybody they only did the poppers to Sadie. Even when they were with other people who were getting slimed and stuff from god. Another thing is that Sadie is the only one with their version of the ring. Ra didn’t even offer the extremely cursed to them, only the one with benefits. (Almost like he doesn’t want his sister to suffer with it)

But also we know that the gods were once in the real world. Ra told us, and while I don’t know if Josie verbally confirmed it we saw them in the trailer looking into Raines disappearance.

And we know from that that Raine was working on something, possibly a really advance game????? And if Raine, who made the game, was Ra then it would make a lot of sense as to why it has so much control over the game and it’s machines.

Adding on after finishing the maze stream:

Ra, in their ow way, tried to comfort Sadie about going into the maze and dying. And while it didn’t actually comfort them Ra still tried.

And then the notes Sadie got at the end. Ra apologizing to Sadie for their not being a way out. That kindness we don’t see Ra have with any of the other characters

It’s simple, I see orange cat no I don’t it’s Zane

According to my friend God (Ra) is wearing lingerie

People comparing Zane to Heyhays other characters has got me thinking about similar qualities that most of their characters share. Specifically the fact that most of their characters are protective and self sacrificial.

Starting with the man who started this thought, Zane. In the last few streams it’s very clear that Zane will take the fall or blame for things if it means the people he cares for are safe. He didn’t care much for his safety from Ra but wanted Myth and Strix to be safe from them, leading to the deals with the ring.

And even if he was selfish, like when he did get Ezra to put on the ring, he has regrets immediately and took it upon himself to protect Ezra from there on out. His actions are driven by his need and want to protect those he cares about even if the price his himself. 

The next character who I think is probably closed to Zane in this regard is Theo (big shocker I know). But a lot of Theos story is learning how to be less protective, cause he was overbearing with it especially to his family. Theos main drive is to protect those he cares about, that’s what caused him to run away in the first place and keep fleeing when and signs of danger show up. He also ran away when he felt that he was the danger to his family and their safety. He has to learn to value himself like he values those around him.

And the second character I feel is most similar to these two is Vast. Vast was raised in the idea of protecting everyone even at the cost of oneself. We see her be protective over Rune even for little things, like when his inventions hurt him a little. And obviously she’s protective of the avian race? surviving(don’t know what else to call the birds).

And, again, in regards to Rune “death”, they were so willing to give up their own life if that meant there was a chance of Rune coming back. Or being thrown back into the Avicane and humiliated to get Mo back from his mother.

Moving away from the ones similar to Zane, I think Manes also has these personality traits. While I can’t remember specific moments durning the server it’s mostly Manes backstory that I see these in. When Manes were still just Oz and Emil, Oz was protective and Emil was sacrificial. Oz with trying to protecting Emil from getting seriously hurt just to help him and Emil, tho they were conditioned, wanting to help Oz even tho that ment they lost their body. And then even when they are Manes, Emil gets mad on behalf of Oz and chooses to leave the small comfort they have in order for him not to be treated like that.

Then we have Io who was literally a soldier with the main goal of protecting their home. They knew the harm their enemy does and knew that they would rather die than inflict that on the people they’re supposed to protect. The deal to kill them seems obvious to Io, it helps protect their birds even though it cost their life(they’re fighting in a war they are more then willing to lay their life down if it ment the vampires lost).

Even durning Siege Io is trying to protect Percy and Cavity. Io refusing to tell where they live so Cavity doesn’t have to go through this pain again. Making sure Percy knew that it was Ios idea to run with Cavity when they returned to the cell, making sure Percy wouldn’t do anything to the first friend they had in centuries.

Or Io wanting to protect Percy and getting upset with him when he won’t let them. Trying to bargain to use them instead of they can’t physically protect him then (the war meeting against the council). And sunscape is just Io trying to protect Dawn and giving up everything they’ve been yearning for in order to do that.

And then Jay, oh boy do we have Jay. There wasn’t an action that jackal took that wasn’t steeped in protection or sacrifice. He chose to let himself turn to X just to help his sister hold on a little longer. He got killed cause he was questioning things that affected the people he cared about. Even at the end of Wild West he sacrificed the only place he’s ever know the only place he could talk with his mom in order to save Wyns life. That boy is nothing if not detrimentally protective. 

Then there’s Aura who were introduced to by them protecting Navi from being killed by the Rionears and then continuing to protect it from the other people on the planet. Star learned out to make guns, and how to threaten others with them, in order to protect others. But Aura all works themselves to the bone in order accomplish these things. If they aren’t helping others then they’re useless so it doesn’t matter if they can barely stand upright or if they know the last time they ate if they’re helping.

And I’d like to highlight Aura became a criminal in order to protect Navi the first time, though star didn’t know that would happen.

And finally we have the blue print for this, Rae Morningstar himself. That man was trying to sacrifice himself even if the solution didn’t need a sacrifice. And he was too selfless to do anything that wasn’t for the others. His entire season 1 was him just trying to protect the others and leaving himself in danger in the process. Mans was willing to sacrifice all his work in order to free Fable even though he knew that ment he would forget it all. Half the reason Rae and Caspian got so close was Rae was helping protect everyone, especially Cas, and was wearing himself out to the point Caspian Soulcrest had to do something.

The wavelengths left on different trains at the station. They then came back together. And the separated again. And then in the process of thinking that a post should be made, the wavelengths returned together.
