Hi, we are ZODIAC, an adult DID system. We use he/it pronouns as a whole.
We have a few very important interests, AvA/M being chiefly relevant among them... But let's not forget TANKMEN, Phighting!, astrology, and our DEAR BELOVED FRIENDS!
This is just an AvA/M art blog! We don't reblog here much, and you'll usually find our interactions through our main blog, @tankman
Below the cut is a bit of information about us. :) We hope you enjoy your stay!
It's been almost a full year since our last pinned post ... back then it was literally just three of us in the subsystem. Started with me, Clementine, and Clay and that was like, it. Wild world we live in! Oh I'm Huxley by the way.
Some random fun facts:
Clay (Red) likes random electronic and dubstep music, especially people like Boom Kitty
Clementine (Orange) loves The Black Keys ! He also has an older sibling named Faraday
Sunny (Yellow) tried to like coding for our websites and such just for the fun of source comparisons but she gets very frustrated with it. It's not that she DOESN'T like it, but...
I (Huxley, Green) reaaaaally love orchestral stuff, I'm super obsessed with Two Steps from Hell and Thomas Bergersen (Seriously listen to like, That's a Wrap if you have the time)
Callie (Blue) is probably like, third or fourth in a lineage of this one type of teenage girl our brain keeps trying to reinvent and she kind of hates that, but she tries to have fun anyway. She loves MARINA and the game Potion Craft.
Callie has a doppelgänger like Clementine does, his name is Razzle, which is short for Blue Razzle Berry, which is the name of an energy drink? I dunno
Leviathan (Lav for short, Purple) only listens to 2 songs on repeat actually. Like they just straight up refuse to venture out of that playlist and they WILL do it for whole days in a row.
I could go on, but it'd be kind of silly to put our whole autobiography here. Everyone needed a bullet point though, for fairness. <3
So yeah, that's us. There's some adult minded people in our subsystem too but this isn't about them. /s
Do you want your art to make it, in trading card form, to Alan Becker personally at Open Sauce in July? Here's your chance!
Hello all! @tatos-stick-pile @wtfgaylittlezooid and I are going to Open Sauce this year to meet Alan Becker!
We're planning on giving him some trading card prints of our art, and I thought we could open up this opportunity to some members of the community as well!
I will be paying to have 30 TRADING CARDS printed and brought to Alan Becker in July
Apply here to be a part of that art team!
BEFORE YOU APPLY: This needs to be completed on VERY SHORT NOTICE, see the application for details.
Rules/Further details under the cut:
There's a lot of questions to answer, so I'll try to keep this post updated as I answer them. But for now, here's what you need to know.
These pieces are going to be 1 character per card, plus 5 free slots that are open to interpretation. This means those 5 people can use personal designs for the sticks, AUs, or other canon characters not mentioned in the form.
There are some resolution and color requirements to get the card printed at all.
Art needs to be in CMYK color and 300dpi OR 1000px minimum.
Pre-made art is allowed, but it must fit the resolution/color requirements and it must feature one character.
Backups are welcome and NEEDED!
Since this will be such a short notice project, (about 2 months to work) backups need to be prepared to work under a massive time crunch
That's all for now! Thank you for bearing with me and we look forward to sharing your art with Alan!!!
Like, am I crazy for not giving a fuck what Alan Becker thinks about his characters genders. Like, is that a radical thought, that you can have headcanons without the creator agreeing with them, and it's literally fine?
I HC Purple as a they/them exclusive NB and I do not care that Alan thinks they're a dude I do not care
I really like Green so I'm going to sort of polysticks speculate over here because I have thoughts on how all of their relationships with Green work but I only have Green's perspective cooking at the moment, you'll have to forgive me
This is going to be a massive text wall just so you know
Green x Red
Obviously Red and Green have a good time frustrating each other, but I don't think that makes for any less of a loving and/or affectionate relationship. They might not be incredibly overt especially around others, but when they're tired out from one thing or another, they enjoy their quiet moments too.
I love that in the newest AvM Red is shown flipping his fucking lid about Green being missing like, oh my God. Sorry Blue I'm FINDING Green. Poor Blue Lol
Green x Orange
Ok SecGreen is definitely one of my favorite ships I won't lie. They're both pretty type A personalities so it makes sense that they butt heads a fair amount, but I like to think that they also inspire each other to be better and improve on their worst qualities. Their friendship in canon is so perfect to me they're already pretty clingy with each other in my opinion. SecGreen seems like it'd be a very smothering-each-other type of relationship. Ofc they have a good understanding of each others' boundaries and limits, but they're mutually deeply attached.
Green x Yellow
I don't think there's a lot of canon to point to for indications on this one, but I love it because I like to imagine that Green is the type to fall for her in such a way that he ends up messing up around her a lot in efforts to impress her LOL. I think once she realizes what's going on, it kind of flusters the hell out of her to think "wow, he keeps trying at the risk of embarrassing himself" which is definitely one of the things he avoids at all costs ... I think it's cute.
Yellow spends a lot of time on her intellectual and creative activities and Green loves to just hang out with her and watch, maybe parallel play. Probably not demonstrably affectionate as much as some other pairings but also none of them have any sort of sense of personal space so, more or less Similar to Red and Green.
Green x Blue
This is also a favorite of mine for reasons. I think it would be so cute and mushy and affectionate. Blue's obviously a very affectionate person with her friends, highly empathetic and gets worried for every one of them. I watch Influencer Arc regularly and I always love that scene where Greenscreen uppercuts Green initially, she goes running after him without a second thought...
Green's inspired by her I think, he's an emotionally intelligent person as well but might struggle with displaying it as well as her in some cases.
Blue is similarly inspired by him, he's confident and proud in a way she wishes she could feel herself. Green makes sure to build her up any chance he gets and help her see that they're all proud of her even if she struggles with herself.
Green x Purple
Honestly I like Grapeduo but I feel there's not much to say about it because it's The Popular Ship and everyone has a pretty good idea of how it could work already LOL
But yes, that is my thesis paper on shipping with Green, thank you for reading <3
toyed around with a lot of names for victim post crash and settling down.
i think it would HIGHLY resent being called "victim" as a name, its like, a trauma thing. on the one hand, it takes away its power to use it on himself (not even to mention the self loathing bitterness aspect) but on the other its like ... who wants to introduce themselves to someone and say HI IM VICTIM like that just sucks for your self esteem bro
probably was encouraged by mitsi and maybe she came up with the name for it.
i initially thought "zero" should be its name because of hex code #000000 but i mean. not exactly solid black at that point anymore is it.
so nil is apparently a real name that id never heard of before even though i picked it to be a synonym of zero/nothing. apparently nil can mean "champion" which would be a sweet thing mitsi could call him... idk i like it.
i also personally feel that - sorry to all the suit and tie victim enjoyers, but - victim would never wear anything overly formal. after getting traumatized the entire first half of your existence you've earned the right to be lazily dressed at work. /j i think at the point where it's going by Nil that it enjoys doing artsy and crafty work for the company and participates in as little business as he can get away with lmao.
and then there's H4CK3R....
im not exactly sure where she had time to have a gender crisis inbetween mitsi dying and her going on a massive revenge quest but don't worry about it LOL
i like to imagine her egg was cracking right before mitsi got thanos snapped out of existence and the trauma of it all made her stop thinking about it at first but then after some time she was like 'well. who fucking cares anymore, im a she now. whatever.'
this except the most beautiful woman you've ever met is also about to kill you
