I was scrolling through your tumblr cause I hadn't seen you in my fyp since like last year, and it felt like scrolling through memory lane idk, and I came across your post about giving 1x1x1x1 their unibrow and I was like "didn't 1x4 always have a unibrow in this person's art..." and I scrolled down further and just realized you never actually drew them with it, and I gotta tell you I was so flabberghasted to notice that just now.
↓ another qna comic, explaining some backstory between shedletsky and 1x
(I didn’t include 2 pages I dislike, so if the writing seems disconnected that’s why :T)
ok and um
wanted to show my headcanon that if Tesseract looked realistic, their green torso would instead look like ripped skin exposing the hollow ribs underneath
and the rest of their skin is like a living gargoyle. Stone-like and cold
(made the drawing too human-like tho and now it looks weird oops)
Had a dream that met The 1x1x1x1, and he looked like this. A glitchy silhouette that felt like it didn’t belong in this plane of existence
In the dream, Roblox was hosting an event where the ghost of 1x could haunt participating games. The games played like normal, except you had a rare chance to encounter a Herobrine-like NPC
I was playing 99 Nights solo, just to get a daily quest done real quick, not expecting to get the rare encounter. Was then pleasantly surprised to see him in the trees while exploring
If you walk up to 1x1x1x1 and say something in chat, he’ll respond with cryptic messages. Always speaking in all-caps, and flooding the chat with dozens of the same message spammed over a few seconds
I was curious what messages I’d get, so I walked up and said “Hello”
1x spammed “HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?”
I asked “Who?”
1x responded “YOU KNOW WHO”
Then he disappeared
I grabbed some screenshots to show my friends, but I woke up before I could share them
your actually making me very interested in Azure. Are there any fun or silly facts you have on them your willing to share?
Yayyyy y!!! Yippeeeeee !!!!! :D
And yea here’s some more ↓
🟢 When young Azure had his first crisis of faith and questioned if Spawn is even real, he began to wonder what else might not be real. He questioned if Santa and even Admins might’ve been a big lie to control people’s behavior (which is a bit ironic, since Santa is an actual Admin in this universe)
After Spectre disappeared and Fake Spawn stopped speaking to Azurewrath, he went back to believing that Spawn and Santa are fake. Nothing more than a convenient lie and sensationalism
When Azurewrath started interacting with the rest of the cabin, one of his funny interactions was around xmas time, he had a 100% serious argument with Taph over Santa being real or not. Taph was enraged and claimed her whole family saw Santa in the flesh when she was younger. Azurewrath waved it away and said they must’ve been seeing things or mistook it for something else, which only made Taph angrier and assert with full conviction that it was real and Santa is real
The argument was extra funny because not one, not two, but THREE ex-Santas were listening into their fight. Shedletsky/Telamon used to be Saint Nicholas, a bit more outdated, religious, and mysterious form of Santa (this is what Taph’s family saw when Telamon made a mistake and accidentally got caught). Then when Shedletsky retired from being an Admin to reduce his stress, John Doe got the job and became Mr Claus, the more modern and corporate form of Santa. And after John got corrupted and infected, Jane took over his job for him, as Mrs Claus.
The three of them all glanced at each other knowingly, and weren’t sure if they should say anything or not. Is it better to keep the mystery and magic alive? Or tell them the truth?
🟢 Azure and Azurewrath are technically two separate beings that originated from the same source. The old Azure is 100% dead and gone, murdered and died. All that remains of him is this new entity that spawned in and inherited some of his memories and emotional triggers. With that said, the manifestations are free to choose what they want to do with their new life. They can pick a new name, change up their appearance, enjoy different things, find new hobbies, etc. Often times, manifestations just choose to identify with their previous life out of convenience, and because their emotional triggers are so strong and overwhelming. But 1x is an example of a manifestation that wants to be as separated from their source as possible. Taking a new name, new aesthetics, liking different foods, etc. Azurewrath is kinda apathetic to his source. While he doesn’t actually really identify as “Azure”, if it is convenient then it doesn't bother him to use his identity (not like he needs it anymore)
🟢 The bouquet that Azure offered to River on the day of the sacrifice was hand picked with all of River’s favorite flowers. It was supposed to be a special gesture saying “I remembered each one that you said you liked over the years, because I love you a lot”
🟢 Azure does penguin-pebbling as a display of affection. Because of this, River’s room had a big collection of odd trinkets Azure had given them over the years. Sometimes the items were useful, like a nice scarf. Sometimes they were just downright odd. “I was foraging and found this cool looking rock and it made me happy so I’m giving it to you so you’re happy too :D”. Azure would be heartbroken if they found out River discarded one of his sentimental gifts, so they sorta just stockpiled.
River wasn’t as sentimental over purposeless knickknacks and trinkets, so the gesture wasn’t really understood nor reciprocated. River had learned over their years fending for themself on the streets to always travel light, and anything you place sentimental value on can be ripped away at a moment’s notice, so it’s better to only keep things with practical value. (This is one of many reasons why their relationship was doomed, and the two of them aren’t actually compatible)
🟢 River has hypermobile joints, which makes them super stealthy, quiet, flexible, and cat-like, but also causes them daily pain from fatigue and hyperextension. While Azure wasn’t supposed to do this, he would sneak River some extra pain relief medicine for being his best friend. Making extra stock in secret so that River wouldn’t have to worry. Notably, bittersweet nightshades. The two dumb kids nearly got caught getting high on several occasions. Amarah could’ve pushed harder to get Azure in trouble for this, but didn’t want to risk getting on his father’s bad side as the village’s medicine expert, so she let it go begrudgingly
Azure saw his sneaking medicine as just a friend helping out a friend in need (or maybe an act of love and devotion). However River saw it as transactional, and potential for trouble later. River doesn’t like needing to depend on people, and worries that any “generosity” will come at a price later/be emotional blackmail/be used as leverage in a power dynamic
Because of this, River felt the need to walk-on-eggshells around him. Worried that they need to be extra nice or else they would lose access to their source of pain relief. River would act friendly, smile bigger, laugh harder, agree with him on things they don’t actually agree with, while hesitating to speak on their true thoughts. All this led Azure to think they were much closer as friends than they actually were
🟢 Since River stabbed Azure with a knife they hid behind their back, Azurewrath feels anxiety and panic if they’re in a conversation with someone and their hands are behind their back. He’ll try not to freak out and politely ask the person to hold their hands somewhere else. If the person is understandably a little confused, Azurewrath will awkwardly explain why, and then the other person is totally understanding and accommodating. Putting their hands in their pockets instead, or fiddling with an object, or simply down by their sides
🟢 Azure used to force himself to smile all the time around people as a nervous habit. The mask became so second-nature that he forgot he was forcing himself into exhaustion.
Now, Azurewrath hardly ever smiles. What r u gonna do, force the cannibal tentacle monster to smile for you? Didn’t think so.
He doesn’t need to wear that painful mask anymore, so he doesn’t bother. But the rare occurrence of a genuine smile or laugh is pleasant when it does happen C:
🟢 Azurewrath harbors no love for Two Time. Not even in a denial way, this new entity just doesn’t have a crush on them like his predecessor did. Azurewrath might feel an impulse of intense mixed emotions when seeing Two Time, but he doesn’t really identify with them. It’s like when you think something mean offhandedly, then you actually sit with that thought and feel “wait I don’t actually think that”.
As a manifestation, this is something Azurewrath will always struggle with and will never really 100% heal from. But by processing the thoughts and learning more about himself, the impulses decrease in intensity, get dulled down somewhat.
He wishes he could just get over it and move on. He knows that logically, they’re trapped in this rotting hell forever, undying, just trying to make peace with their situation. But that doesn’t make the thoughts magically go away. His brain and nervous system aren’t convinced by logic, and he’s kinda gotta just suffer with it and do what he can to make himself as comfortable as possible. Focusing on what you CAN do is better than just lying down and marinating in misery
With all that said, Two Time doesn’t really understand that Azure and Azurewrath are two different people. “You have his looks, his memories, what do you mean you aren’t him??”. Two Time wants to apologize and mend the harm they’ve done and make things right, maybe even try a chance at a genuine relationship, but it’s just something that Azurewrath cannot accept. Like physically, literally, his body won’t let him even if he wanted to. This causes a lot of tension as as Two Time wants to feel better and Azurewrath just wants to be left alone
They once again had a cinematic perpendicular, where in life Azure had a big one-sided crush on River, but after the Spectre disappeared then Two Time had a maddening one-sided obsession with Azurewrath
(cw unconventional forms of self harm)
It got to a point where Two Time was desperate, and basically offered to be Azure’s punching bag. “Hurt me, destroy me, kill me a hundred times over. Do whatever you need to feel better for the ways I’ve damaged your trust in me. I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I don’t want to see you to suffering anymore, because I love you Azure”
But Two Time was so self-absorbed with their pity that they couldn’t understand that their INSISTENCE was actually causing stress for him currently.
Azurewrath at that point in his life just wanted to move on and forget, make a new life for himself and find new distractions/hobbies and make new friends to make the grief easier to carry. But Two Time continuously pushing themself back into his life as some sort of “atonement” was causing ongoing suffering
The only possible relationship for them in the forsaken realm would be an extremely unhealthy dynamic where Two Time uses Azurewrath as some convoluted form of self harm to feed into their self perception as an irredeemable monster. TT wanting Azure to hurt them so they can feel better about the sins they’ve committed. Azurewrath doesn’t want to do that, but TT does and keeps pushing the offer, which causes a big messy situation
🟢 When a manifestation spawns, they get a few new abilities in their stronger form. The abilities come from their self-image at the time of death. Mostly the negative parts of yourself that you hate but don’t feel like you can change. It's impossible to predict which ones you’ll get, but here’s some examples:
• If you think you’re toxic in friendship/relationships and hurt people just by being near them, you become literally poisonous (Tesseract and Azurewrath)
• If you think you’re infallible and cannot be killed, you get automatic hp regeneration (Tesseract)
• If you think you’re a manipulator spinning a web of lies, you get spider legs (Amarah)
• If you think you’re clingy/obsessive/can’t let go, you get octopus arms (Azurewrath)
🟢 After 1x and Azurewrath’s initial conversation where they really related to each other, they started meeting up for tea parties together. It was a convenient excuse to meet and chat and vent out their frustrations, or simply sit in comfortable silence in the presence of someone you don’t have to mask around. But it also opened them up to experimenting with wacky tea flavors. The two of them have toxic bodies, so they have a natural resistance (not immunity) to poisons, and can consume bizarre things to feel a little funny. For example, drinking cyanide tea would be like a relaxing glass of wine
Although that also means that human-levels of poison tolerance are boring to them. Spicy food needs to be SUPER spicy for them to feel it
Same is true for medicines of any kind. Their unique physiology gives them hard-to-predict reactions and tolerance levels. Far from standardized
🟢 1x/Tesseract and Azure/Azurewrath are both aromantic, but in different nuanced ways
1x is aromatic, type “I have no compulsion nor need for romance, and can easily live a fulfilling life without it crossing my mind once. However if someone else wanted to pursue me, I’d allow my curiosity to explore the opportunity, although I’d struggle to relate to their feelings”
Azurewrath is aromantic, type “I feel a deep disconnect from most of humanity, to the point where I struggle to even identify as human. Romance is rarely even on my radar, since I’m fundamentally incompatible with 99% of people. However, if I forge a strong bond and trust with someone, then my deeply repressed feelings of romance may feel safe enough to resurface. I crave an intimacy that I feel is impossible for me to have, so most of the time I forget romance as a whole. When I do happen to fall in love, it can be overwhelming and all-consuming and overbearing, which pushes the other person away, then continues the cycle”
Question for the missing spectre au, has TwoTime ever figured out that their second life is fake, and if they have/will eventually, how would they react, like would they isolate themselves from everyone (especially and including Azure i imagine) or do they just go completely insane from the guilt of killing their lover for basically no reason
Another MSAU lore dump ↓ about the Spawnism faith, The Spectre, and Robloxia’s Gods
first a bit of background context on Two Time’s name,
• Their real name is River (it’s gender-neutral, nature based, and sounds similar to revive :P)
• Azure is a big yearner, and secretly gave his crush the nickname Nightshade. Reminds him of them because they are dangerous, beautiful, and his source of stress relief. Tho the nickname is so secret that he hasn’t even told River about it. Just something he calls them in his head. After that Azure got super into bittersweet nightshades and they became his favorite flower. River has no idea that bittersweet nightshades are his favorite because of them
• The nickname “Two Time” wasn’t something they got until after TT was forsakened. Like many others, TT couldn’t remember their name, so a stranger gave them the name after watching them die and come back. Something like “hey ur that two-time fella arentcha”, and then the name stuck when other people started calling them that too
Second, background context on Spawn
In MSAU, Spawn is an actual god (goes by he/they). Admins are demigods, and there are some full Gods like Spawn and 2x2. Admins are sorta like lawkeepers and creators, forging the environment around them and keeping the peace. Whereas the Gods are more like the engine running the world itself.
Robloxia used to have infinite amounts of bricks, all they had to do was copy and paste one from 2x2, the originator of all bricks. But when the sky turned red and 2x2 suddenly disappeared, all bricks became limited, and had to be recycled from other places. This led to a lot of tensions at Roblox HQ, as their ideas of how to handle this challenge clashed. Notably: Builderman, Doombringer, and Taph
Anyways back on the topic of Spawn,
Dusekkar is a worshipper of the true Spawn, (as are most people with the runic robes, like Telamon and Taph), which is (part of) the source of Dusekkar’s power, and how they were able to respawn Shedletsky after their death
However, at the specific Spawnist village that Amarah, Azure, and River lived in, The Spectre impersonated Spawn in order to beguile the faithful into spreading chaos and disorder. The Spectre grows in power from bloodshed and negative emotions (eventually strong enough to create its own realm). Feeding into delusions and fears, spreading lies, stirring drama, telling people what they want to hear to easily manipulate them
After getting forsakened, Fake Spawn continued to speak to Two Time, and reinforced their delusions that they are a special chosen one as a High Disciple, and that their second life is real and guaranteed if they can prove their devotion
Dusekkar knows that Two Time is being misguided, by what exactly Dusekkar isn’t sure, but they know that the real Spawn wouldn’t act like that.
Dusekkar would try to delicately bring this issue up to them, however Two Time is too deeply entrenched in delusions to even consider listening to anything contrary to their current beliefs. This causes a lot of tension between the two of them, because both believe the other is a blasphemer. And it’s extra tricky because both have evidence that their faith is the real one (their abilities) which causes them to dig deeper into their convictions
When the Spectre disappeared, the voice of Spawn disappeared from Two Time’s mind, which caused their faith to waver. But it was odd, they still had their second life ability, so what does that mean…?
Now that they could remember every match… was this all part of some sick game, hurting each other for entertainment? Why would Spawn do this? Is this some kind of test of faith? To put them at their lowest and test if their faith prevails?
Two Time still held onto their beliefs for a while, out of fear that the curtain will soon be pulled, and their performance will be judged. Hurting people and being killed and coming back again, over and over and over, waiting for the moment when someone finally says “None of this is real! You can wake up now!”
But as the days…weeks…months went on, what remained of their convictions was whittled away. Still trying to hold on to what they know as it falls apart like sand between their fingers. They definitely had a crisis of faith, not knowing what to believe is true or false anymore
They would oscillate between periods of desperately clinging to others for a sense of stability, blindly listening to their suggestions and trying to prove themself as useful. And periods of extended self-isolation while they try to figure things out on their own. Neglecting self care, skipping meals, avoiding bathing, spending all day in bed wallowing in self pity and uncertainty
If Amarah also got forsakened (still not sure if I want to include her in the AU or not), then Two Time would likely run to her for guidance, reassurance, and to be consoled. Asking many questions that Amarah expertly deflects in vague ways. Two Time would be very impressionable in this vulnerable state, which depending on your interpretation of Amarah could be a very bad thing.
-
As for Azure,
Unlike Two Time, Azure was born into the cult, son of the village botanist and expert in medicinal plants. His father was the primary manager of the community’s greenhouse, which exposed him early to a love of botany
And as with many autistic kids born to religious extremists, he was able to sniff out the bullcrap at a young age, which caused lotsssss of problems for young Azure. His need to understand things instead of blindly following orders often accidentally got him in trouble with authority figures, who saw it as “talking back” or “intentionally being difficult”. His different way of processing social hierarchy led to him getting bullied by his peers. Even if not outright bullied, he was otherwise outcast because people felt it was dangerous to associate with him
Since he seemed to do everything wrong all the time, Azure gave up trying to fit in and became recluse, spending all his time at the greenhouse, delving into botany studies. Secretly hating this hivemind and their bizarre ways of thinking, but being too young for independence, so finding some way to contribute to his community that won’t get him yelled at by church leaders. Other kids weren’t allowed in the greenhouse without a chaperone, so he got plenty of alone time in his quiet safe bubble
Then in his preteens, a new person his age joined the cult. An unhealthy looking orphan named River, who got arrested for attempting to shank someone to steal their food. Guardian Amarah was there at the scene, and for unknown reasons, took pity on this lost lamb and decided to take them under her wing, strongly believing that she can turn this child into a dutiful Spawnist.
River was understandably outcast for being an outsider, and their violent background. But to Azure, this was a perfect opportunity! A potential friend his age, they can be outcasts together and have each other’s backs, and he can ask questions about what the world outside is like
Amarah foresaw their friendship potentially causing issues, and tried her best to keep them apart. But as fate would have it, they became friends anyway. Any attempt to separate them would only ironically bring them closer together. This started Amarah’s distaste for Azure. She decided to train them both as disciples so she can at least keep an eye on them. Azure was resistant to the offer but got pressured into agreeing (by River, Amarah, and his father. With so many people pushing him to, he felt like he couldn’t say no)
As they grew up, Azure and River matured in opposite ways. Cinematic parallels, or rather cinematic perpendiculars
River was an outsider. A kid on the streets who turned to selfish violence in order to survive. But when offered protection, warm food, a roof over their head, and a supportive community, River became deeply grateful. Fully giving themself to make their community and Spawn proud
Whereas Azure started as the son of the village medicinal plant expert, a loyal little helper who was passionate about Spawn and giving back to his community. But as he got older, he asked more questions, the veil over his eyes thinned, and he wanted to leave the cult
When they both got older and could consider independence, Azure innocently brought up the idea of running away together for good to River. River was appalled and the two got into a huge argument, and had to leave before things got too heated
Azure wanted his comfort food to calm down, and snuck away to get mozzarella fries, only to find out they were cruelly out of stock, which was his final straw and his temper exploded and he assaulted an employee (he ran away before he could get arrested, but he’s banned from that establishment now)
On the other hand, River felt anxious and religiously unclean, and went to a confession to clear their mind and get advice on how to bring their best friend back to Spawn’s light
When Amarah heard Azure’s plans, she did not take the threat lightly of one of her high disciples escaping and leaking the church’s secrets. Amarah prayed and asked Fake Spawn for advice, and it crafted a tempting lie about River being ready to earn their second life with a sacrifice
-
After Azure died and his agitated soul couldn’t depart from this world, he spawned an evil ghost, Azurewrath (literally Azure’s repressed wrath taken form)
Azurewrath woke up in the forsaken realm with a foggy mind, angry and overstimulated, and having a lot of questions.
A voice spoke to him, claiming to be Spawn itself. (Azurewrath had a bit of a crisis of faith, bc while he still sorta kinda believed in Spawn, he was deeply questioning the validity of Spawnism, and never thought thee God itself would speak to him of all people). It claimed to have seen what happened, and took pity on Azure because he stood up to the blasphemers tarnishing its true name (ironic), and as a reward it respawned him for being a true believer. While Azurewrath struggled to believe this, he still fell for the lie, because it was what he had wanted to hear for so long.
Spawn explained that Azurewrath was now in a superior form, and as an envoy of Spawn, he is tasked with getting revenge, and killing those blasphemers and restoring Spawn’s former glory
So during killer matches, The Spectre changes Azurewrath’s vision to perceive the survivors as Spawnism cultists, particularly high-ranking officials and people who have specifically hurt him in the past
When the Spectre disappeared, Azurewrath surprisingly wasn’t very upset about being lied to by Fake Spawn. He sorta just had the attitude of “yeah… I knew there was no way ts was real…” and got over it pretty quickly, instead turning his anger onto the actual people who hurt him in the past
He stayed lonely and isolated for quite a while, angry all the time and not trusting anyone after how he’d been betrayed. It wasn’t until Azurewrath and 1x1x1x1 had a very relatable conversation that he changed his focus, stop spending all his time being angry and miserable at the past, and instead find ways to make his present and future more pleasant and comfortable (well… as much as he can, given the situation)
Wait how did the Spector go missing? What what was everyone's first reaction to this information?
TLDR: pr3typriincess abused an exploit with her princess wand, which was able to temporarily remove Spectre’s powers, so the three kids were able to kill the Spectre and get freedom.
(In reality, the Spectre let the kids think they got the drop on it, and took the convenient excuse to fake its death, because it was bored of developing the forsaken game and wanted to quit for a while anyway. Now all its tormented NPCs are free to interact without The Spectre’s influence interfering. They’re all trapped in a godless world that is decaying without maintenance, but it’s unlikely that Spectre will ever return to its game and patch the glitches)
As for reactions: ↓
🟢 The Kidds trio were in shock that the plan actually worked, not quite sure if they could believe this is really happening. But they were ecstatic and couldn’t wait to tell their parents and everyone else, and see their reactions. A true “power of friendship” fairytale moment that proved you should never give up hope, and always fight for a better world.
The Kidds got out of the realm and back to Robloxia. Feeling freedom and clear thoughts for the first time in (an unknowable amount of) years. But to their dismay, they couldn’t go back. The game was set to private, and with no developer to contact, they had no way of reaching anyone inside. Their one-way ticket out had been spent
🟢 At the moment of the Spectre’s “death”, everyone in the realm felt an odd sense of clarity. It’s like their head was filled with a maddening fog for years, and that fog suddenly dissipated. They could finally think clearly. People who had forgotten their own names could remember themselves now. People looked at the obscured faces of those around them, censor bar now gone, and got flooded with old memories. For many people, it was too much to handle, going from being a hollow puppet on strings to being a person again. Things were VERY chaotic for a long time as the dust storm settled
🟢 As far as the Kidds parent’s trio,
They know that their kids used to be here in this realm, but on the day of remembering, their kids vanished. Only traces of their existence left behind. A toy, some clothes, a drawing, something that only belonged to their kid, but belongs to no one now... Each parent loved their child deeply and grieved in their own ways.
🟢 118o8 grieved the hardest, since it felt like watching her son die again. Both times surrounded in mystery, and with no corpse left behind to cry over. Just that sickening delusional hope that maybe Bluudud is still out there, just deeply lost, and maybe he’ll come home some day…
118o8 must’ve searched the entire realm dozens of times over, checking under every rock, looking for any hint, any trace. Even abusing some exploits to get out of bounds, just on the off chance he might be trapped out there.
Eventually, even the most dedicated and delusional must give up hope…
🟢 as for 1x and Shedletsky,
previously (when the Spectre was here), 1x’s vision would be altered during a match so that she can’t see Shedletsky until they are in LMS. This was to motivate 1x into actually killing the other survivors, go get those guys first, instead of just getting tunnel vision and only focusing on her rage towards Shed. The LMS was her reward for a match well played.
But now with Spectre gone, that’s exactly what happens lol. 1x immediately bolts for Shedletsky and runs past other survivors as if they don’t exist. Each match with 1x and Shed in it is basically “protect the king” game mode. A 1v1 but with 7 supports trying to keep Shedletsky alive. Shedletsky nearly always dies, but 1x wasted so much time on one person that she often loses the game. Losing doesn’t matter to 1x, as long as she gets the satisfaction of killing Shed. In fact if 1x spawns on a map and sees that Shed isn’t a survivor this round, she’ll pout in the corner and not play.
Things continued like this for a long time. But after uncountable kills, always the same thing over and over… it kinda loses its spark. 1x still hates Shed (and always will, due to being a manifestation), but it’s like the hatred had gone from a blazing house fire, wild and uncontrolled in its path of raw destruction, now simmered into a bonfire. Still plenty dangerous and potentially destructive, but easier to control now, better understood, more aware of how to utilize its advantages while avoiding disadvantages
Surprisingly, one of the first people 1x had an earnest conversation with was 007n7. Caught him at a low moment, grieving over losing Coolkidd again, and feeling like a failure of a father. 1x reminisced about a memory of letting Coolkidd play with their minions. 007n7 expressed gratitude for keeping an eye out for his son. Talked about how chaotic the little troublemaker could be, and were able to turn the conversation to a more humorous note, talking about their old hacking days and the trouble they got up to
🟢 John can see Jane now, and is grounded by her presence. Jane was extremely relieved to hear John talk and act (almost) like his old self. He still has moments of glitched corruption and violence, but can usually be calmed by seeing Jane. A simple reminder of “I’m here, you’re going to be okay” is enough to clear his head and keep him grounded in reality. John rarely plays as killer anymore, usually only in matches where Jane isn’t present and he can’t be calmed down. For that reason, other cabin members are generally polite towards him, but act very uneasy when Jane isn’t nearby, treating John as if he could snap and turn into a violent monster at a moment’s notice. It does hurt John’s feelings a bit, but he understands why they act that way.
At times he feels like he struggles being an independent person. It’s always “Jane and John”, and while he loves his wife tremendously, he does wish he could do things on his own sometimes. Given his condition though, it’s hard to test that boundary…
And now with the Spectre’s disappearance, extra difficult, because the Spectre’s unstable code infecting John’s body makes him even more susceptible to random glitches. The world is already rotting from the inside out, and wherever John Doe goes seems to be a hot spot for where new glitches pop up. It may just be bad luck, wrong place wrong time, but it happens frequently enough to warrant suspicion. Some of the more superstitious cabin members try to avoid being near him whenever possible, and feel an unsettling anxiety when unavoidable
🟢 Azurewrath was able to fully remember Two Time and Amarah, which did not end well for anyone involved lol
Rather than 1x’s pure hate, Azurewrath more so had mood swings of mixed emotions. Swinging unpredictably between destructive rage, helpless crying, obsessive clinginess, disgusted avoidance, delusional mania, hollow nothingness, etc
Their unpredictability led people to avoid them, which only led further into their isolation, and made things worse than they had to be
Oi, where did you find the "flesh eating monster" thing? I HAVE to verify this for myself because that is absolutely WILD! I think that has to be the most wild trivia about a forsaken character so far. Him and Sixer just CHOWING DOWN on people!
Toki (the creator of Forsaken’s Azurewrath), who now goes by Montaigne, answered that in a qna on Forsaken’s discord server
Unfortunately, the server has since been raided, and the channel containing the message was deleted
For more canon info on Azurewrath, I’d recommend reading the trivia section of their wiki page (be aware that most of it is likely outdated by now and will change)
Montaigne also occasionally posts on twt @ 4Montaigne (also be aware that they frequently delete their own posts)
(cw a lil suggestive and blood ↓)
There is also this render by Yuyu (Forsaken’s main renderer) (posted with Toki’s permission but expressly non-canon)
Azure is biting Two Time on the neck hard enough to draw blood
another silly comic with Tessa Azurewrath and Builderman
a few hc I snuck in there :3
- Tesseract and Azurewrath sparring mentioned again
- they sorta have private servers in the forsaken realm, but it’s more so just going to an empty map that doesn’t have a match currently running on it. They don’t get admin commands or anything
- Two Time and Azure both had to drink blood in the Spawnism cult (both have ablation abilities). When Azure died and came back as the evil monster Azurewrath, they really leaned into this and became a flesh eating monster
- Builderman is always nibbling on something. It’s subconscious but constant. If he doesn’t, he feels like he can’t think clearly.
Always eating a lollipop, or chewing on his hoodie strings, or biting his fingernails, and his go-to favorite, chewing on Bloxilicious Bubble Gum (inspired by the Mr Chuckles face they use (looks like chewing gum) and the Turbo Builders Club skin)
- 1x’s blood is surprisingly red not green. But it glows red like their eyes instead of being normal dark red
Inspired by the original 1x1x1x1 model by Mewsitive that exploded red blood when you injured him
That same model is toxic to the touch, so Azurewrath got poisoned for biting them lol
- (more MSAU lore) people used to get restored/healed after a match by The Spectre, but now that Spectre is gone that doesn’t happen anymore. Now everyone has to rely on Builderman’s dispensers to get healed up
That includes killers, which is part of the motivation for killers to be cooperative and nice to everyone else
Not everyone is on-board with cooperation though. Some killers are still evil and deranged, and would rather go without healing than stop tormenting people. It’s pretty sad to see the state they get to… slashed and stabbed and shot dozens of times but refusing help… but you can’t force someone to work together :/
Most people are nervously respectful to Builderman, like how you don’t want to anger your surgeon lol. But even if that did happen, Builderman has a big heart, and would heal them anyway (while giving a stern look). Even if one of the uncooperative killers comes to him for help in a disheveled state, he’ll fix them up, despite knowing that it’ll be a pain for him and others later
- Tesseract has natural self-healing and hp regeneration, which led the survivors to worry he would be one of the uncooperative killers. If the evil hacker 1x1x1x1 doesn’t need to rely on others, why would he work together with them?
And they were right, he was at first. Finding sick enjoyment in tormenting Shedletsky over and over, razing though anyone who stood in his way
But over time, his curiosity led to him slowly warming up and mellowing out. He’s still human at his core after all, just a very hate-filled undead one. He still wants connection with others, even if they’re very irritating
1x’s first real friend in the realm was was Azurewrath. Both being manifestations, they felt seen and understood in a way that no one else at the cabin quite got. The experience of dying and coming back changed, their unique physiology, their explosive anger and its triggers. The two finally had a judgement-free space to be themselves, and someone who can not only listen but is strong enough to hold them back if they lose control
That really helped take the edge off each other’s anger and opened them up to other interactions at the cabin. If one of them gets triggered they can leave and vent to the other until the anger passes. A healthy outlet :)
Azurewrath began speaking with Wanwood again, which also opened him up to talking with Dusekkar and 226w6
Connections lead to more connections, and eventually the two of them were at least surface-level acquaintances with everyone that they’re trapped together in this realm with
They still avoid the sources of their hatred (Shedletsky, Two Time, Amarah) but it has at least mellowed out into a “i need to leave the room immediately or else im gonna snap” instead of outright attacking them on impulse
Tesseract and Shedletsky did try a few times to “get along for the sake of our mutual friends”… but it didn’t end well…… Some things are better just left as-is.
gonna post a few more abandoned WIPs (broken into chunks bc of the 10 image limit)
here’s one for now
part three to Chance crown comic, answering the question(s) “what happens if [insert character] wore the crown instead?”
Basically, the necromancy magic in the crown gets confused, thinking “hm, this person is supposed to be dead but they’re alive, that must mean that they’re a zombie to puppet”

and alt version of page 1 ↓
Shed, Noob, and Tesseract have their appearances changed bc technically this is part of one of my sillay AUs (Missing Spectre AU), but I didn’t feel like elaborating on that so I abandoned the comic lol
TLDR for MSAU: everyone has been trapped in The Spectre’s realm for years, impossible to tell how long it’s been. Constantly having their memories tampered with, getting their powers nerfed, feeling hopelessly trapped all the time… most people have given up trying to escape.
The three kids (c00lkidd, bluudud, and pr3typriincess) got a crazy escape plan, and snuck away to act on it (without telling the adults, as kids do)
To everyone’s astonishment, the plan worked, and Prety was somehow able to defeat The Spectre. The three kids escaped the realm and felt freedom, but were horrified to realize that there’s no way back in. They got out, but everyone else was still trapped
And now with the Spectre gone and no developer maintaining the game anymore, the world is painfully slowly decaying from code-rot. Unpatchable glitches, abilities breaking, features broken, missing textures, etc. And they’re all trapped inside with no way to fix it. (It’s hard to tell if being tortured daily by The Spectre was better or worse than this)
Anywayyyssss, with The Kidds and The Spectre gone, the rest of the forsaken realm is free to make The Worst Polycule Ever™ (yeah this AU started out as an excuse to ship characters/have characters interact lol) (a lot of funny potential for plot too with glitches causing weird things to happen)
But that’s the explanation why all forsaken characters are able to interact without The Spectre interfering
↑ bonus fact :P
Shedletsky had 14+ KNOWN alt accounts, which sorta makes them like a shapeshifter in this AU (at least before they got forsakened, can’t use those alts anymore)
That also makes Shedletsky, Telamon, 1x1x1x1, BrightEyes, EarlGrey, and SonOfSevenless all the same person (originally at least)
1x with long hair is gorgeous. I can't find the original pictures though?
Where can I see more?
Those were part of another headcanon compilation, going over Tesseract’s backstory
The WIP has been abandoned now, as there’s other projects I want to focus on rn, but might as well yap dump and share some of the WIPs
(another disclaimer, this is far from canon, and only part of an AU I made just for funsies)
Ellernate’s hacker group (MM12) regularly got banned, but broke each other out of the Banlands by abusing an exploit. It got so comical to the point where they’d refer to it as “just stopping by in hell”.
While waiting for someone on the outside to pull them back to Robloxia, sometimes they’d interview other banned people and see if they’re worth breaking out too, and invite them to join their hacking group. Having powerful allies is important when you fight gods (Admins) for fun
Ellernate interviewed this cool looking edgelord who dreams of killing a specific Admin and went “awesomeeeee” and offered to break her out. Then she joined MM12, they taught her hacking, and they all terrorized Robloxia together, happily ever after Yay (not)
MM12 planned a vault heist on Roblox HQ intending to steal the SFOTH swords. 1x wanted the Venomshank, since it always deals 40% hp per hit. Admin or mortal, they all die in three swings. A perfect god-killing weapon
Mission went bad, Ellernate and Caleb244 got caught and banned, but iTrapped and 1x1x1x1 escaped with the Darkheart, Venomshank, and Firebrand in hand
(which Noli later stole the Firebrand and gave it to Coolkid. With unregulated overexposure, the Firebrand corrupted the kid’s soul, and his mind began to merge with the violent soul within the sword, slowly corrupting Coolkid into his milestone 4 skin)
Anyway, when iTrapped and 1x went back to MM12 secret base and tried to pull the other two out of the Banlands, they learned with horror that the exploit had finally been patched. Ellernate and Caleb were trapped in hell
The two of them didn’t know what to do but discussed ideas. iTrapped bought black market info and learned that Chance’s family was rumored to have a key to the Banlands. Something like that has to be given willingly, so iTrapped planned on befriending Chance. Bought more info on them and learned they love gambling and collecting Limiteds. iTrapped bought the ice crown ([sarcasm] with very legitimately obtained robux) to attract’s Chance’s attention
The plan to befriend Chance was going well, but social engineering takes time, sometimes years, and 1x was growing impatient. She has low control over her emotions, and is emotionally explosive and impulsive.
One day 1x had enough, and decided to take matters into her own hands, and stole the Venomshank from iTrapped’s personal vault. 1x used what small amount of Creative Director powers she inherited from Telamon, and turned the Venomshank into the Daemonshank, and used an item duplication glitch to give herself two of them
On her mission she caused a lot of chaos, which caught the attention of the Spectre, and it forsakened her before 1x could complete her goal

(cw suicide)
Going further back in history, as for how 1x manifested in the first place
Telamon had smiling depression and hid how deeply he despised himself behind a bright smile and playful demeanor
When Telamon created the SFOTH swords and hid them across Robloxia, he planned all along to make the Venomshank as a god-killer and use it on himself
For a short time he was dead, but his soul was so agitated it couldn’t properly leave this world. His repressed emotions took physical form into an evil ghost, a manifestation of self-hatred, 1x1x1x1
When a manifestation spawns in, its memories are largely obscured and fuzzy. They’re confused and overwhelmed and angry and hostile. They don’t know why they were just “born” but they know they hate this world and the people in it. 1x took the Venomshank and ran away
Builderman and Dusekkar found Telamon’s body and assumed this was the work of an assassin, which would mean all Admins could be in danger. They needed to ask Telamon what happened to him, but can’t
The two successfully respawned Telamon (which is basically necromancy, super forbidden magic. Using forbidden magic is part of what led the three Admins to getting forsakened later). Shedletsky is an undead now, but they can ask him questions.
When the two found out the truth, it was hard to hear, but they were supportive of his struggles. Telamon’s job as Creative Director (basically Santa but a Roblox HQ moderator) was reallocated to John Doe, and Shedletsky was able to switch to less stressful work
There was still the issue of the missing Venomshank though. None of them knew 1x existed yet. As far as the three knew, the Venomshank randomly disappeared. Can only pray that is the case, because if not, then a god-killing weapon is loose in Robloxia. Which will not only be a huge mess for PR, but could lead to their friends lives being lost
At the same time, 1x didn’t know Shedletsky was alive, as he was laying low for now.
1x was exploring the world. Hiding in secrecy in some places, causing chaos in others. For some reason he decided to become a pirate, which leads to the storyline in Shedletsky’s milestones. Shedletsky decides it’s his fault that the Venomshank is in the hands of a dangerous criminal right now, so it’s his responsibility to get it back. Shedletsky becomes a pirate too in order to track 1x down
The two meet again and have a sword fight to the death.
It’s laughably one-sided at first. Shedletsky is a master sword fighter. And while 1x inherited some of Shedletsky’s memories, 1x was letting his rage consume him uncontrolled. 1x was making sloppy mistakes and not thinking clearly at all
However, 1x can regenerate most injuries within seconds. So any mistake didn’t really matter.
The battle was looking like it could go on forever, until 2x2 appeared and sent 1x to the Banlands. The Venomshank was confiscated and locked in a vault in Roblox HQ for holding dangerous artifacts
1x spent years trapped in the Banlands, stewing in her hatred for Shedletsky and 2x2, swearing upon their deaths when she gets out of here.
She also had a lot of free time to experiment with her unique biology as a manifestation. She learned how her poison works, what poisons she can tolerate and how much, the exact specifics of her regenerative healing power. And that the source of her power boost is anything that triggers a memory of self hatred. Thinking of Shedletsky and anything he loves/hates makes her take that stronger form with the glowy smoke
