hi there! local neighbourhood pacster addict and semi betrayus enthusiast here
how would you feel about music based on The Veil? i realized one of my projects sounded kinda fitting for Betrayus' "reawakening" of sorts, as this true formidable force from the Great War. i could make custom music no cost if that'd be ok with you!
Hi! Ridiculously late response, my apologies!
But that is ABSOLUTELY okay with me!!
I know you already posted the music piece and I've already responded to it, but I'd like to reiterate that Betrayus' Reawakening is absolutely stunning and beautifully composed, and I'm incredibly honoured that you'd make music based on The Veil! The piece itself is adding a level of immersion and depth for Betrayus' plot line in the fic that I didn't expect, and I'm absolutely living for it!
How did you learn to make music if I may ask? I am by no means musically inclined/gifted, but I've been really tempted to try my hand at it, even if it's just to blindly play around and see what I can make out of it.
Don't look under the cut it's nothing I promise :)
hello, hi! sorry for the nothing i've had out in the past few days, been trying to get back in the habit of making stuff for this fandom, especially ever since Snack Breaks premiered today. No spoilers for that, I recommend you folks give it a watch yourself :)
Anywho, I believe most of what I wanted to mention was a new PMATGA AU I've had cooking in the pot for a while, called "Doomed To Die"!
I've talked about it here and there, but I never actually gave an intro here on my blog, so here we are! I've written an introductory fic to it right here!, but will also be making art of it too! Stay tuned for that!
Please read tags, however!
post 100% over trust :)
oh, I almost forgot, i decided to make something for @ell-arts' "The Veil" fic. just for funsies!
go read it here! legitimately an awesome read and was actually one of the main inspirations behind D2D!AU :)
When were you going to tell us that you are a composer???
THIS IS FRIGGIN AMAZING!!
The show's soundtrack was already great, but I've always been curious to hear like an epic cover or a truly cinematic remix of some of the original OST.
AND THIS ONE HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD! I absolutely LOVE the way the subtle choir and the bass just heightens the whole mood of the original leitmotif!!
This is OFFICIALLY part of The Veil's soundtrack now. When I eventually get to making a public playlist on Spotify or Youtube for music that fits The Veil, this will definitely be on there!
Thank you so much for making this! I've never received 'fan-music' before, this caught me by surprise in the best way!!
Also, definitely going to check your new fic out over the weekend! :D
Reblog with the year you've joined the PMATGA fandom. Bonus if you want to include your story of how you found out about PMATGA for the first time, too :)
For me it started in 2015, when season 2 was just around the corner. Back then, an old friend of mine introduced me to the games first.
Neither of us knew that the games were actually based off of a tv show, she just picked up the first game and liked it enough to show me. I remember we were both playing it at her house, genuinely enjoying it even though it wasn't the most fantastical or ground-breaking game. I got stuck somewhere at one of the first levels, where you had to fight the cyclops boss. Neither of us had any idea how to defeat the bugger, so I went and googled for the solution. That's how we both found out that the game had a tv show as well, with a second season slotted to come out in a few months. We checked it out, and the rest was history.
Hey, do you plan to ever read the French Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures Comics? with an online translator (nothing like Google Translate, since they are inaccurate most of the time)?
I have bought some copies of the French Comics, both issues. Thank you, Amazon! But nevertheless, if you had a chance to read the comics, or get them sometime, would you ever read them?
Funny you should say that...
I got them both :)
ALSO off of Amazon lol! (but sadly the second issue is out of print now, I managed to get one of the last ones available.) Got them both in 2021, so I've already gone through them.
I did have to use an online translator, and though the translations weren't always reliable, it still gave you the gist of what was happening in the story. I mostly got it for the pictures anyways, lol.
Unfortunately these books are probably one of the rarest books out there, due to PMATGA now being so old and niche. You can't find free or translated versions anywhere, other than one French fan who translated some pages online. And as far as I can tell, only the first book is still available in print on Amazon.
I'm kinda tempted to scan and put these onto the Internet Archive, so that it's accessible and at least not lost to time. I wouldn't translate them though, since I cannot reliably translate them without making mistakes, but they'd be available in full for anyone to at least look through.
HOWEVER (and this is the biggest thing holding me back) I have no idea what the copyright and distributing restrictions would be in posting these books in full on the Internet Archive, especially since I'm not the author. It's definitely a no-no to post the the entire book on a public site such as Tumblr, but I think the rules are different for the Internet Archive perhaps? It IS for archival purposes after all. I don't imagine it would be a problem, but I'd still like to look into it more before putting it on the Internet Archive.
Just one? Gotta go with Cyli and Pac ending up married and having their three kids :)
If I'm allowed more than one, then another one would be Cyli having an older brother (Cevian)
To add more to the headcanon, the reason we never saw her brother was because he was already off to college/tertiary education by the time Cyli met Pac and Spiral. Or, alternatively, he was going to a different boarding school. If we do go the college route, then the official headcanon would be that Cevian was doing his major/training in becoming a pilot, perhaps even in the fighter pilot category, which would require extra years of training, hence he's away from home often.
Bonus headcanon for another fella: Spiral has a step-dad. His mom was a single mother who raised him on her own for most of his childhood until she met his step-dad. They married and both pursued their love of art and craft by starting the successful Easter egg painting business together. Since then they've become a happy family unit, with Spiral feeling much closer with his step-dad than with his biological father, whom he hasn't seen since he was a young boy.
The way I see it, Spiral’s more likely to help his friends find dates rather than find one for himself (such as possibly being the double wingman for Pac and Cyli), so imagine a girl citing that selflessness as a reason she likes him
I like that idea! I can definitely imagine Spiral as a wingman - maybe even a closet romantic? Not necessarily for himself, but more so in the sense of wanting his best buds to get together. He did mention in the Valentine's Day episode that he doesn't really 'get' Valentines Day, so I'm thinking maybe he could be a bit dense when it comes to his own feelings - until the right girl comes along or something.
But I also really dig the idea that a potential girl cites his selflessness as one of the reasons she likes him, that would be super sweet!
Pac would have cried during all of his kids births.
But of course!!
There was no lack of tears in that man's eyes! He'd also hold them in his arms for hours simply staring fondly at them, teary-eyed as he held them close and promised to protect and love them forever and ever.
Who would make a great girlfriend for Spiral? I’ve seen Spiral shipped with an OC. But who would you pick?
So, I've once put Spiral and Elli together as a crackship of sorts, just for the fun of it, and since then I've grown fond of the idea of them being together (maybe with a few personality changes though, not sure, I haven't paid a lot of attention to these two in a while)
So personally I'd choose Elli for Spiral. I may even design some fankids for them as well in the future. Other than that, I think Spiral could either be completely independent or fit well enough with any girl.
I lowkey want to see the scene of Zac throwing hands with the Pacworlder that harassed his sister because brothers can and will do that
I'm REALLY tempted to sketch it out! If not a sketch, then at least a short drabble of the scene.
Essentially, the kids were at the park playing with other kids. They were around 10-13 years old at the time. Sylvi was shy and had mostly kept to the side when another boy started picking on her, teasing her pigtails and calling them childish. Sylvi tried to remove herself from the situation and walk away towards her siblings, but the boy followed her. Not liking being ignored and wanting a reaction out of her, he reached out and grabbed at her pigtails, yanking on them hard enough to make her cry out in panic.
Not even a second later, Zac charged in and outright tackled the boy.
Both Zac and Ova had seen what happened and were running over to help, Zac just got there first. The two boys were fighting on the ground when Zac, in his anger, had thrown a punch too hard and broke the boy's jaw. That's the moment he broke out of his rage and realized what he'd done. He didn't MEAN to break bones, but he also certainly didn't regret protecting his little sister.
The legal fallout was a mess of course, but ultimately the act didn't end up on Zac's record at least, and aside from mandatory "anger-management" classes, he was cleared of any wrongdoing due to him acting in defense of his sister.
The other boy's jaw eventually healed (with reconstruction surgery) but he had the scar for life.
Several years later, by pure irony and coincidence, the boy ended up going to the same high school as the three kids were going to. Imagine that reunion.
"Hey... Hey!! You're the guy who broke my face at that park years ago!!"
Finally resurrected from the dead! (They already created in 2018 and only existed in closed servers, but were in desperate need of a makeover first)
They are the next gen kids that I envision for Pac and Cyli, and I had so much fun coming up with their new designs! I might show and compare how their old (2018) designs looked like at a later date. Back then I had a different approach to designing fankids. With these new ones, I decided to really lean into the genetics side of things and make Pac and Cyli's three children actually look like their children, each with a good blend of both parents while still being unique enough to be their own individuals. I MIGHT return and do some tweaks to their designs (looking at Sylvi), but overall I'm very happy with how these three came out!
Now for the proper introductions and bios:
Zachary
Named after his grandfather, Zac is the firstborn and only son of Pac and Cyli. He is a Yellow One like his dad, but takes after his mom in being smart and witty - definitely to the point of being a smartass, as his sisters would tell you. His main hobby is playing pac-pong, soccer, and annoying his sisters, but he also enjoys reading a good book and going on trips with his family. He is a bit of a history nerd, a trait that has been cultivated by both Pac and Cyli since Zac was young, by reading lots of history books and learning of past wars and battles through his parents' eyes. While Zac does enjoy poking fun at his sisters, he actually sees them as his best friends and would give his life to protect them. While not a full-blooded Yellow One like his dad, Zac is still capable of using the same mainline power berries that Pac can use (Fire, Ice, Chameleon, Titanium, etc), but not for long periods of time or to the fullest extend that full-blood Yellow Ones can. Zac's appetite also rivals his father's, a Yellow One trait that comes in strong. He goes by Zac most of the time, but sometimes Cyli calls him Zaccy as a fond nickname, paying homage to when Pac was called Paccy as a child.
Appearance: Inherited Pac's yellow skin, eyebrows, nose, and smile, while he got Cyli's pink eyes and black hair, with the unique addition of Cyli's highlights gene, just in yellow.
Personality in a nutshell: A goofball and a walking encyclopedia in one package. Witty and adventurous, with a bit of a competitive streak.
Ovaline
Ovaline is Pac and Cyli's eldest daughter, who goes by Ova. Unlike her father and brother, and very atypical of Yellow Ones in general, Ova has never really had a big appetite (at least not as big as Pac or Zac's). Since Ova is also only half-Yellow, her Yellow One abilities are halved, where she can use some of the mainline power berries but has been unable to use the Titanium and Ice berries - they simply do not work, or they give her an entirely different set of powers. This does not deter her, and since the power berries have not really been needed since the end of the ghost wars, Ova is happy to live without those powers and is confident in her own skin. She loves animals and dreams of becoming a vet one day. She often buds heads with Zac and gets into fights with him, but they always have each other's backs. Ova is a lot like her mother, with a tomboyish flair and a clever mind, and she's even managed to beat Cyli in a few rounds of chess. Ova also looks up to her great-aunt, Spheria, and gets much of her spunk and sass from her. Despite this, Ova is a total daddy's girl. One perfectly sweet smile is enough to wrap Pac completely around her finger.
Appearance: Inherited Pac's yellow skin and the gene for red hair (passed down from her grandmother, Sunny), and inherited several features from Cyil: pink eyes, pink highlights in her hair, and the same facial features as Cyli.
Personality in a nutshell: Stubborn and sassy, but fiercely loyal and valiant. She is a team player through and through.
Sylvanial
Nicknamed Sylvi, she is the youngest sister and the only one out of her siblings who is pink - in fact, she is the spitting image of her mother, with the sweetest blue eyes. Soft-spoken and introverted, Sylvi is often shy around new people, but turns into a warm and optimistic force once you spend time with her. She's a bit of a goody-two-shoes, not because she's a stickler for the rules, but because she simply wants to do good by people and doesn't want to get into trouble (the latter of which gets tested when her brother and sister try roping their innocent little sister into their mischievous schemes.) She often takes the role of peacekeeper between her brother and sister when their fighting turns serious (but don't be fooled; she's been pulled into their shenanigans on more than one occasion, either tricked against her will or when she genuinely found the fun in it). Her favourite thing in the world is to cook and bake alongside her mother in the kitchen, made even better when the rest of the family joins in. While Sylvi looks so much like Cyli, she is a lot like Pac when it comes to her character: kind-hearted, gentle, optimistic, always sees the good in people, and has a child-like wonder for the world around her. Plus, she is the biggest cuddle bug her family has ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Appearance: Inherited Cyli's pink skin, black hair, hair-highlights gene, and her smile, while inheriting Pac's blue eyes. While she does have highlights in her hair, her highlights have a very faint, peach-yellow gradient rather than full pink, and it's the only visible drop of yellow that she got from Pac. Both her eyebrows and nose are triangular but rounded, a blend of Pac and Cyli's noses and eyebrows.
Personality in a nutshell: Though she may be shy and quiet, she is incredibly humble, affectionate, and has an aptitude for cooking. She's a cinnamon roll with a big heart and a gentle spirit.
Bonus Facts:
Zac, Ova, and Sylvi are tightly bonded, despite the frequent sibling rivalries. While they do have very close friends outside of family, they always choose each other as being their own best friends.
As they grew up, Pac and Cyli gave their children a set of endearing pet names that matched their growing personalities. Zachary's pet name was Dragonfly, for his boundless energy and adventurous spirit. Ovaline was called Butterfly, for her love of animals and her graceful wit. Sylvanial was called Firefly, for her tender affection despite her shyness, blooming like a firefly's gentle light in the dark.
Ova brings in rescued animals all the time. It's become a problem to the point where even nature-loving-Cyli couldn't keep up with the demand. Pac and Cyli have often needed to have talks with Ova to take the animals to the shelter rather than their house. While Ova has done her best to honour this, it still doesn't stop her from bringing home injured birds or the odd baby hedgehog to nurse them back to health before releasing them.
Pac and Cyli wanted their children to be close in age to form a close bond. They waited until Zac was 1 year old before they had Ova, then took a one-year break to handle two babies, and then had Sylvi when Zac was 3 and Ova was 2.
Zac and Ova have had a sibling rivalry since they were toddlers. They were just more cute about it when they were small. As young children, they'd sometimes fight over toys or disagreements and get into wrestling-matches, but only for about 5-minutes before they flop on the carpet together, make a truce, and all is well and they love each other again. As they grew up, their rivalry sometimes lasted longer and evolved into prank wars and sibling competitions, with less immediate-truces or forgiveness afterwards, but while their childhood cuddles melted away, their bond grew stronger in the form of always having each other's backs and forming a wickedly sneaky and powerful duo once they team up.
In their early-teens, Zac once broke another boy's jaw... in retaliation for harassing Sylvi. (In Zac's defense, the other boy did pick on her and pulled at her hair.) This was the first time Zac had become aware of his own strength, and had to learn how to use it responsibly to avoid excessive force and violence (but he makes no promises on holding back when it comes to protecting his sisters.)
Sylvi got her love for cooking from both her grandmothers - but thankfully inherited Sunny's skill and not Starchild's.
Ova has a birth mark on her left hand: half of her thumb has pink skin instead of yellow, a clash of the pink and yellow colours at conception. It’s been fondly nicknamed her lucky thumb. (Once, during a mystery murder game, Zac had to prove innocence and merely said, "I swear on Ova's lucky thumb that I am NOT the accused!" Ova's answer: "STOP SWEARING ON MY THUMB YOU FREAK.")
All three children are half Yellow, half Pink (in blood). This means that Pac's Yellow One powers are not passed down in full, but rather have been passed down in smaller degrees: Zac inherited the most (big appetite, can use mainline power berries but for a limited time), Ova inherited a bit less (no big appetite, can only use a select few mainline berries), and Sylvi inherited the least (no big appetite, can not safely use any mainline berries). Despite not having full Yellow One powers, none of the children feel lesser or inadequate, thanks to their parents' dedicated love and upbringing, and since the ghost wars were long finished by the time they were born, it became practically unnecessary to ever use any power berries or Yellow One powers.
Despite being half-Yellow and half-Pink, all three of their colours came out strongly in their pigments, rather than becoming a blend of their parents' colours (which would've given them a range of peach-coloured skins). In my headcanon, this is due to a unique nature in Pacworlder colour genetics: usually, the offspring's colours come out as a blend of their parents' colours (Red + Yellow = Orange), and sometimes this still happens even among stronger bloodlines, but depending on how pure a bloodline is over several generations, one parent's pigment may be strong enough to completely overwrite the other parents' colour, or at least offset the blending in such a way that the offspring gets a 50/50 chance of being the same colour as either one of the parents. In this case, Pac comes from a very long line of Yellow Ones, whereas Cyli comes from a long line of Pinks that sometimes mixed. Because of this, Pac's genes were strong enough to give two of his children full, solid yellow pigments in their skin, the only caveat being that their Yellow One powers are halved. In Sylvi's case, she had a 50/50 chance of being the same colour as either parent, and thus came out as pink. (Zac sometimes jokes that that was when their dad had ran out of ink.) Other than her blue eyes, the only other sign that Sylvi has a drop of her father's Yellow genes in her, is the very faint yellow gradient in the highlights of her hair, blending in with a pink shade. I'll make a more dedicated post about Pacworlder genetics in the future, as I've got a lot of ideas for it while designing these kiddos!
Sylvi's name was inspired by a very good fantasy book I was reading as a teen, where the story had a princess with the name Sylviianel in it. I wanted something soft yet playful for Pac and Cyli's pink daughter, but couldn't come up with anything fitting. Eventually, I came up with Sylvanial, derived from princess Sylviianel from the book, which enabled her nickname to be Sylvi, and it fit perfectly into place for how I imagined Sylvi to be. This was in 2018 though, and while I was recently redesigning the kids, I was tempted to change her name to something that fits more into the Pacworld universe - but alas, I cannot come up with anything better or more suitable than Sylvanial. I might come back and change her name if I DO get a better name in the future, but she's also been 'Sylvi' for so long that changing it feels wrong. I'll just self-impose my inspirations onto Cyli and make a headcanon that Cyli named her youngest daughter after her favourite fairy tale character or something lol.
I saw this game on steam and it looks pretty legit!!
Idk XD I was just like OOOOOOOOO!!!! GOTTA SHARE AHAHDJKFJF!
Oooh I remember this came out some time last year if I'm not mistaken!!
I've always leaned more into the Ghostly Adventures side of the franchise, and haven't really given any of the other games the time of day. But this one seems really good!! ESPECIALLY the graphics for the environment!
