Did you just legitimately tell me that a person who draws wolf ass is more competent than a dude who spent 8+ years in a university to give you your lung transplant?
doctors are bullshit and furry artists perform an infinitely more valuable service to society compared to them
It took doctor’s like 10 years to diagnose what was wrong with me, some insisting I was faking for attention while a furry artist I knew just went “that sounds like crohn’s” after hearing me complain once and ended up being right
Also I can’t go to a doctor and ask them to draw Rouge the Bat wider than she is tall with tits to match, now can I
[ID: a comic illustrating the above thread as if it was happening in a theater. The users are mostly shaped like their icons, pukicho is a pikachu and hokuto-ju-no-ken is a gengar. The last panel is gengar looks back where a speech bubble comes out of the crowd to say, “you could if you weren’t a fucking coward.” /end]
co-owned original characters watching their creators get into a huge argument and so their fate is now to be sold to someone with 500+ ocs who does nothing with them
This crossover only exists because I thought "No Sleep For Kaname Raana" was funny for two seconds. Literally no one else on this planet could possibly be obsessed with both anime band girls and murder-mystery visual novels at the same time so I have to do it myself.
For one half of the uninitiated, AI: The Somnium Files (pronounced as "eye") is a sci-fi visual novel / adventure game series consisting of the first game, its sequel Nirvana Initiative, and the recent spin-off No Sleep For Kaname Date taking place between both. Each title usually consists of two segments, "Investigation" and "Somnium". Investigation plays as a typical visual novel in a 3D environment, primarily talking to suspects after a homicide or series of has occurred. On the other hand, Somnium plays like an adventure game, where the lead detective, a "Psyncer", uses a "Psync Machine" to dive into suspects' "Somnia", or dreams, looking for clues related to the case with the help of their AI partner. As the title suggests, the stories involve artificial intelligence, "ai" the Japanese word for love, and a lot of eyeball imagery, with the AI-Ball partner being the culmination of those concepts. It's worth mentioning that the games are made by Team Zero Escape, which includes staff that previously worked on the Zero Escape visual novel trilogy that Somnium Files shares many sci-fi and story concepts with.
For the other half of the uninitiated, MyGO!!!!! is the eighth girls band from the BanG Dream! multimedia series, which had an anime focused on the band's story released in 2023. MyGO's story is a special case in the series, being a heavy departure from previous bands' lighthearted nature and instead focusing on the dramatic friction between emotionally-complex and morally-grey characters. A large portion of the tension comes from the traumatic breakup of CRYCHIC, a previous band that consisted of Tomori, Taki, Soyo, Mutsumi, and Sakiko. MyGO was formed afterwards to try and reunite CRYCHIC's members, but personal circumstances led to Mutsumi and Sakiko getting replaced by Anon and Raana, thus creating a band where every girl is moments from having an emotional breakdown. The plot continues in the Ave Mujica anime that released early this year, which focuses on a new band made up of Mutsumi and Sakiko plus more mentally-unstable girls. A third anime has already been green-lit.
TL;DR A serial murder mystery sounds like a great environment for traumatized band girls to thrive.
There are a few fundamental changes from both source materials that had to be made:
ABIS, the organization that utilizes Psync Machine and AI-Ball technology to aid in investigations, is no longer directly associated with the police force. Tomori could never become a police officer, and giving any weapon to Raana is just irresponsible. It instead now functions something like a private investigator/defense agency (if Phoenix Wright can walk onto a crime scene and use magic powers to harass suspects then ABIS should be fine).
All of the non-AI girls are aged-up to fit within their respective fields. Their ages are all multiples of three, much like how major Somnium Files characters' ages are multiples of six. No dead teenage girls here (probably).
The history behind Psync Machine and AI-Ball technology is given more depth and plot relevance. As the overviews suggest, Mutsumi was the first ever AI-Ball and has been with Sakiko since childhood. The origin of the technology is linked primarily to Sakiko's mother and the Togawa Group as a whole.
NAIX, a suspicious organization that appears in Nirvana Initiative, now acts like an anti-ABIS, consisting of Ave Mujica members such as Sakiko and Mutsumi, therefore also utilizing Psync Machine and AI-Ball technology. Otherwise the organization still holds on to certain ideologies and is still being generally disruptive.
Taki's mascot form is a penguin instead of a wolf, which she is usually associated with. This is because Umiri, an AI-Ball under NAIX, is also wolf-coded (probably more so), and also because Tomori likes penguins.
I don't have the time to write out an entire story for this AU, but from my perspective the concept has a lot of potential. If you know about Sakiko's backstory, who Uika Misumi actually is, what the Psync Machine is truly capable of, and what SHIFTing stands for, then you might realize that everything could melt into a bizarre plot that somehow fits the themes of both original sources together. That or I'm just crazy. At the very least I had to make designs for the girls, and I will most likely make more designs for Ave Mujica / NAIX in the future when I am less busy.
here’s the closeted furries “hey man… can u bum me a cig” and “the one uncle nobody invites to the family reunion but SOMEONE keeps telling him where it is anyways”
if you want an idea of what john is like, imagine hau from pokemon sumo
