Isaac: oh hey Jacobs how're you doing ever since the whole incident with 343?
Jacobs: Isaac I've essentially been erased from existence and no one is really aware of my presence except for you because you're the protagonist of sedition. also I'm bisexual.
Isaac: dang
New Era 035: Heh! it seems my plan to get watchy all to myself has worked!
Did I just got scammed y'all or not I'm confused pls😭
So I got tagged in ts thing
And maybe I'm gullible but I thought maybe it's real so I opened the link and no matter what it takes me to online casino. I don't think Tumblr staff website should do that
Hai mutuals… I hope I don’t have to make a full post about this, but this is a follow up post about the guy who was harassing me
They’re doing it again, now trying to discredit my name💔please if anyone by the name of Clef, Jacobs, Isaac or Dyo reaches out to you, let me know… I hope I don’t have to make a post, but they’ve started reaching out to my mutuals trying to spread rumors about me. This has been going on consistently for 3 months, them making new accounts pretending to be other people to talk about me or infiltrate my spaces. I just want people to be aware of things from my perspective…
If you want an idea of the kind of person they are, please look at this post that discusses how they (a 19 year old) was talking sexual with a 16 year old, Charlie
So one of my special interests is art history and I really wanted to apply this to my canon, Operation Theatre, and I was wondering how until I came to the idea; "What if all of the Lords of Alagadda were based off eras of painting?"
Black Lord ( 035 ) ~ Neoclassicism era
Yellow Lord ( Citrinitas) ~ Baroque era
White Lord ( Albedo ) ~ Renaissance era
Red Lord ( Rubedo ) ~ Romantic era
Below is some info, ideas and paintings examples I've done through research of my own!
First I will discuss the Black Lord ; I believe that they are based off of the era of 'Neoclassicism' (1760 - 1850).
The idea of Neoclassicism often challenged order, restraint and reason for everything that could be thought of while also remaining patriotic to a degree or some sort of alignment to a side during times of war, famine and disease etc. It really came after the Age of Enlightenment hence why ideas sparked off old ones and the world was in a time of huge change, especially post renaissance. It's why this era challenged the new world, but this era came after the Renaissance, as mentioned, and hence why there was even further development of these reimagined ancient classics. I believe these characteristics as a whole ties into how the Black Lord stands out from the rest of the Lords, due to them being banished for challenging the "natural order" of Alagadda as a whole due to wanting to rule it for themselves and how black stands out so drastically on a colour and tone scale compared to red, yellow and white.
It also brings me to my next point, as previously mentioned, of the central theme of the returning ideas of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, especially post renaissance. In my canon works, Operation Theatre, 035 is infact Ancient Greek and was created there yet came to Alagadda many many centuries later and rose up the ranks due to the Feudal system at the time: from Peasant to Jester to Lord to then being Banished. It would make sense therefore how Neo-Classicism applies, due to them still having the language and mask style of the Ancient Greeks compared to Renaissance styled masks the other Lords adorn, and how they wear wear and speak the language of Alagadda but still have their own spin on it due to being a foreigner.
Below are some paintings which are examples of Neo-Classicism;
~ The Death of Marat by Jacques-Louis David
~ Portrait of Juliette Récamier by François Gérard

Secondly is the Yellow Lord ; I believe that they are based off of the era of 'Baroque' (1600 – 1750).
The yellow lord themselves is the wearer of the Odius mask, with Odius in the dictionary meaning: "extremely unpleasant, repulsive, or deserving of intense hatred". To me this immedietely stands out as Baroque. The idea, and basic foundation, of Baroque art is to evoke intense emotion by captivating your gaze with bright colours and tones but then uses harsh and sharp contrast to disguise brutal and bloody displays in the same painting. I believe this fits Citrinitas within my canon as the yellow lord's royal duties are to perform the royal orchestra, be a leading musician to the court, tutor other musicians as well as command the ballet. Yet, atop of that they also run the guards of the palace in Alagadda. They distract you with this awe inspiring display yet behind the curtain are commiting brutality and are a lot harsher than the awe-inspiring humanities they display, which I believe is the exact goal of Baroque.
Baroque also features a lot of twisting poses and anatomy, often in negative emotions a lot like their face and disgust they display outwardly. I fear they also have a twisted personality of disgust and negativity. The human body can be beautiful yet disgusting, which Baroque sometimes portrays. It is consistent in sharp angular and diagonal lines, relating to the idea of one always being on edge around this lord due to their unpleasant attitude or demeanor and playing into the very theatrical nature of Baroque overall. Baroque often imitates theological scenes, especially those of dramatic nature, which I feel is indicative with how a lot of the scenes it portrays in the works are religious, like below the scene of Mary Magdelene, in the painting 'Madonna di Loreto', from Christian Theology with the infant, similar to how Alagadda has a lot of Christian imagery such as the Hanged King rising after 3 days in the tale 'And so the Crows laughed' like Jesus did from the tomb post crucifiction.
Below are some paintings which are examples of Baroque;
~ 'Judith with Her Maidservant' by Artemisia Gentileschi
~ 'Madonna di Loreto' by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio

Furthermore is the White Lord ; I believe that they are based off of the idea of 'The Renaissance' (1760 - 1850).
The white lord is the wearer of the Dillgent mask, with Dilligence in the dictionary meaning: "The quality of working carefully, persistently, and with a high degree of effort or attention", or in this case, "Careful, steady, and earnest effort in one's work or duties". This applies to the Renaissance well as during this era of art they often focused on the realism rather than imagination, unlike the previous era of Medieval art. This era often had dynamic poses, realistic and proportionate anatomy and precise expressions, with most artists going as far as dissecting cadavers to examine how the body moves and why it looks the way it does. I believe this adds to the 'effort' of diligence and the attention to detail during this era ties back to them almost entirely. Another key element of the Renaissance was the perspective, seen in almost every piece made during this era of art.
They used perspective so much, yet in particular used mathematics to create a realistic sense of depth by use of a "vanishing point", using straight lines on a flat surface to achieve this. I believe this applies to the White Lord as they are careful, steady and have no room for failure and thus merging into the idea of realism and balance. Their colour of white ties to the careful nature of the word diligence as, much like how white is often seen as 'pure', 'new' or 'pristine', realism is often linear and the colours in Renaissance art were often bright with shining lights being common in these work's giving it a reflective nature due to the excessive usage of white, like the clouds and robes of the man in 'Sistine Madonna' below. Albedo in alchemy is characterised by "washing away impurities" and "purification" which again ties to the realism factor of the Renaissance.
Below are some paintings which are examples of the Renaissance;
~ 'Martyrdom of St Sebastian' by Giovanni Antonio Bazzi
~ 'Sistine Madonna' by Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino
----
Lastly is the Red Lord ; I believe that they are based off of the idea of 'Romanticism' (1800 - 1850).
The Red lord is the wearer of the Mirthful mask, with Mirth in the dictionary meaning: "great merriment and laughter / amusement, happiness and joy". At first it is difficult to put an era to this but looking further into the red lord and some of the Alagga related tales and scps, specifically Rubedo Reserve: SCP-3573. This scp is essentially wine that turns the drinkers blood into red wine which I believe ties into the imagination and intense feelings of Romanticism, with these strong emotions often triumphing over intelligence and realism. I believe this is similar to one's state of mind when drunk, especially with how strong wine can be and how the world blends with imagination and how light and hazey one gets when in a drunken state of mind. With Rubedo in alchemy meaning "the creation of the elixir of eternal life" and I am tieing this into SCP-3573. The feelings and definition of Mirth also tie into this 'high on life' feeling of a drunkard and the intense emotions exhibited through romantic art.
The colour of red is often related to the feeling of passion, enthusiasm and desire which is displayed through romantic art displays. These displays are so intense they rival the realism of Renaissance art, aka the White lord. I believe this makes sense as while Black contrasts White the most ( Anguish and Diligence ), the colour Red against the tone of white is definitely the second strongest. It's violent and deeply stands out against one another. It's why so many displays of blood in violence displays are against the tone of white. The colour red in the medieval belief of 'the four humours' is infact correlated blood, again tying back to the Red lord, essentially: The idea of imagination in Romanticism with the Red lord versus the Realism of the Renaissance with the White lord.
Below are some paintings which are examples of Romanticism;
'Sur la montage' ( Partie de 'Poème de l’âme' ) by Louis Janm
'La Mélancolie' by Constance Marie Charpentier

Thank you for listening to my further canon establishment essay type device, I hope you enjoyed! This is all for my designs mostly of Operation Theatre, my canon, and is something to base them off which I will draw when I get a moment! This is a subject matter I'm extremely knowledgeable and passionate in so it means a lot that I've found a way to link it my other special interest!
when did your 953 and 035 date? if it was pre-containment did 035 go to korea? if so what was his original goal and how was the journey like?
TYSM FOR THE QUESTION‼️‼️
They’re met during the Joseon Dynasty period (about early 1400s). Yes, 035 did go to Korea. During this period following his exile from Alagadda, he was looking for anything and everything that would give his life purpose. He initially met 049 50~ years before 953, in which he was a traveling doctor. When 049 escaped 035s brainwashed town, the townsfolk eventually turned against 035 for the deadly after effects of his medicine (which was just 035s goop), so he fled. He was already bored of Europe at this point, so he started anew in Korea.
He became a Shaman (I believe the term is Baksu? Correct me if I’m wrong) where he gained popularity for being a “vessel for the Gods” and made a living by telling people’s fortune, when in reality he was just improvising everything. But he was charismatic enough to grow a small following of people who praised his holiness and divine spirit.
953s presence had begun to decline during this period. The Joseon period brought about the declining popularity of the Kumiho fox spirit and popularized the idea of animals being below humans, so she lived near graveyards, getting an easy meal after every burial. But rumors about a fox spirit consuming the spirits of the dead began to arise after many mourners came to honor their dead and found fox hairs and streaks of blood painting the dirt.
035 was aware of her presence because of these rumors, but didn’t pay it too much mind. He found Greek mythological creatures more interesting anyways. So when he was requested to perform a ritual in the graveyard to speak to a clients recently murdered son, he brought a few of his disciples and started thinking of what kind of lie he’d say the son told him.
But he got sidetracked when he met a woman with the hunting eyes of a fox.
(Also some added details! My usual 953 design has orange/red hair, but here she has black because she has to blend in closer with humans, meanwhile in the foundation everyone knows she’s a Kumiho. Her natural color is the one in the foundation. 035 has dragon symbols on his gat’s ribbon because Fox and dragons are constantly at war in Korean folklore. 035 has four disciples as 4 is the number of death, and their hanboks are crossed right over left because, again, it represents death as 035 gives their lives to 953 to win her favor. 953 has fuzzy ear tips. There are 4 men standing by 035, two in front and two in back, and there are 4 gravestones by 953, two in front two In back😋)
I think the most unrealistic thing about how the scp doctors are portrayed isn't them being twinks but instead them having a full head of hair. Like all these old ass men have FULL LUSIOUS heads of hair? 🤨 I think not..
In the save where I play as 035 they never met but 049 still hates him 4 no reason😭 at least it's canon compliant
Actual game name is sinner maker and it's free on itch.io but it's still a demo.... And it's like if Tomadochi life was evil and happening in post-rapture apocalypse and u also have to manage a village.... It's so cool I love ts game already
Mandatory plaguemask post hehe… idk what I was going for with the style here but I kinda fuck with it
Also.. I won’t be super active for a bit💔 I was accepted into a college acting program I’ve been wanting to do for a few years now (YIPPEEYIPPEEYIPPEE!!!), but it’ll be just about the entirety of summer.. I’ll try to cook up a few posts every now and again to keep the 3549lings fed, but no promises!!
I’m also obsessed with EOW and (old) Sedition again so,, tugs at collar,, might be posting that a lot since it’s at the forefront of my brain. Listen if u saw a bad bitch water bending in a tank top u would be obsessed too ok
Hi! I really liked your take on the recent SCP commune tape(not to add fuel to the already burning fire but it is miles better than what we got execution-wise). I was wondering if it would be alright to make an animatic based on your interpretation?
Tysm for ur ask anon!!
I’ve been putting a lot of thought into this, and simply put YESYESYES YOU CAN MAKE AN ANIMATIC OF IT!! ID LOVE THAT!! But in longer words… I’ve been considering making it into a full project myself.
I’ve been wanting to direct my own project for a while now. Get a lot of my SCP friends on a long form project that’d include writing, animating, voice acting, all that fun stuff. And I think the commune rewrite would be the perfect way of doing that.
Of course, my rewrite is still in a WIP stage. I’m nearly finished (just writing the ending now), but I’m no writer. I want to get multiple perspectives. Different people with different opinions and views of the characters that could tell me what makes sense and what is fanservice, since I’m inherently biased to giving my favorite characters extra screentime lol.
All that to say, I want to get a co writer before diving in. Hell maybe even multiple. If I make this, I want it to be done well, and be able to proudly stand in competition with canon sedition.
As for production itself.. I’ve thought long and hard about it hehe🤭
For animation, I want to reach out to a ton of different people! The dream would be to have one artist for each character that would draw 4-10 PNGs of their preferred character. I’d call dibs on 343 or Watch hehe.. I love the look of multiple artstyles in one space (ex. Across The Spiderverse), and I think it would be a beautiful way to show each characters differences. Yes, they each have a different look in how they dress and express themselves, but even the way they are created is unique.
I’d like for some of the more intense scenes (such as outbursts or displays of power) to be animated, but this is a passion project, I won’t force anyone into anything.
Voice acting is a little tricky. I know how hard it is to enter the voice acting industry and would love to give people the opportunity to gain experience, but one of the characters is a God appears as a 50~ year old man and another is a depressed old doctor with a French accent. It’s a little hard to find people that can and are willing to do those voices.
Then again, I’m not stuck on being canon. I would love to find the most valley girl fem voice to be 035 hehe
But if it proves to be too difficult to find VAs, I’m planning on going the undertale route with little beepy voices 😋
Those are the BIG things. I’m familiar with directing, I know more things will arise when production starts. But this is my general idea…
If this post gets a positive response, I might start reaching out to people about getting involved. No guarantee of anything, and especially not that it’ll be posted this summer. The fanfic is still gonna be posted regardless of whether or not I decide to make this😋😋
