Delusional Afterlife AU

this is an AU of some sort of PoppyPlaytime, relating directly to the smiling critters after death, they're sent to some afterlife that is essentially the world of the cartoon they're from. however, they all retain their memories of the Playtime factory comic made by @ash4val

"Delusions and Guilt"

Are you still working on this?

In a way I've now decided to pick it back up, I'd recommend checking my new post about the situation

It's not going to be as grand, but I loved making this au, and would like to make more about it

Previously unshown busy bumblebee in digital

His lack of color is intentional, it's meant to show that he's an outsider among the colorful smiling critters

he never was meant to be there, to even exist

Announcement to #DelusionalAfterlifeAU fans and readers !

First I'd like to apologize for going silent about this comic, I had intentions to pick it back up but never did, it's been months since my last post about it.

I however would really love to contine making content for this little AU series

Now as I've noticed, a full-blown comic just isn't something I seem to be consistent enough to make

So I instead propose that I will contine making content for this AU in a non comic form!

I would really like to make content for this in a way that doesn't stress me out all too much, a more relaxed way of making things we can all enjoy for the AU series

I hope to see you all soon :>

You are capable of communicating through BusyBee

Your words will shape his, but will not be exact

Is the afterlife world like an actual big world, or is it just their houses, forest, then the world ends?

Have you ever watched Coralie?

In this movie, Coraline is stuck in a fake world, or other-world, and when she tries to run away from it she ends up in the same place. She went "around the world" and wound up in the same spot

Something similar would happen in this world, but on a much larger scale and it'd be rather difficult to do because mountains will be surrounding the world

(Although unofficial, I'm basing this on these scenes here)

I do plan on using this idea for something, but we're not that far yet

Just letting you all know that I have a twitter where I post this comic as well as other stuff I do

You are now able to communicate directly to the characters using Bumble Busybee, a new thing I'm doing for this comic

You can still ask questions out of character which I would answer, and when in character try to match the scene

Good luck!

[delusionalafterlifeau]

I need to mention how I will slightly alter what you say to fit in better, but generally it'll take your comment and it'll shape what Bumble says

Another thing, when I have multiple "voices" trying to speak through Bumble at once, only a few will be spoken per part

And also! Bumble will not always be around to speak through, so you don't ALWAYS have communication

[delusionalafterlifeau]

Is picky also hated/feared by the other critters? Her carboard voice implies that she cannibalized her friends so i thought they would also dislike her for it

With the interpretation of how the cardboard cutouts allude to how everyone died/what happened

I've made it so that Picky did in fact try eating them, but never succeeded

Maybe tried attacking them and biting them but was stopped and was unable to eat them

More info on that will pop up later

You can now use Bumble BusyBee to communicate through the hivemind

Wait a minute. If we had the chance, could we possibly talk to these guys? You know, like how some of the Tumblr creators have the anons and followers talk to canon characters?

Just wait oneee more part

I'm quite literally setting that up right now lel
