Basic DNI applies here, please DNI if you share any of my F/Os, it makes me really uncomfortable :(
Sorry this is so long, wanted to set my boundaries, thank you for reading and enjoy your stay!
Wanted to put my two cents in here, if that's alright!
I'm gonna explain how I do it with two of my main villain FOs who I see as fitting this criteria: Emperor Belos, and Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow. Both of them are different in nature, but have similar themes with how they deal with people in some ways.
Jonathan Crane is a psychiatrist who(in most continuities)only seems to care about people if they help further his goals in learning about fear or furthering his understanding of the subject. He is usually aggressive or PAINFULLY uncaring towards others despite his occupation.(Note; I have not played the Arkham games, and don't really feel a compulsion to check them out personally)
With Emperor Belos, he seems to only care about people if they help further his goal regarding the Day Of Unity or wiping out Witch-kind. He manipulate, mansplain, manslaughters his way to the top with little regard for people's feelings, he does NOT care for people.
That's a lot of yapping, but I needed to set up how they feel about people.
The way I handle it is different for each of them, but similar in some ways.
With Scarecrow, I just tell myself "The writers don't give him a solid canon personality or backstory, it's fine, he can be a little campy or lovey-dovey sometimes, there's no character for him to be out-of-character from."
My approach with Belos is different. With Belos, I view it as "I want him to get better." or "I give him the depth I wish he had" or something along those lines.
I also come up with lore-related reasons for it. With Scarecrow? He finds my SI interesting in a psychological way and wants to study him, falling in love with him over time. With Belos? My SI treats him like he's a person consistently.(And reincarnation stuff, but that's a whole warehouse of worms)
I don't feel silly about it based off of multiple factors, but the main one is that they're already campy characters to an extent(seriously, look up some of Scarecrow's old designs, he's a hoot!), so there's gonna be a little bit of silliness there, but I don't like that overtake my selfship stuff, if that makes any sense.
Tl;DR: The writers are inconsistent with their writing them seriously, so I allow myself to get a little silly with it.
Idk if this was helpful, but I wanted to jump in and give my two cents askjgkjdh
That makes sense. I've seen your ship with belos provide alternate routes and "what if" scenarios, on terms of factoring in an s/i, and its more or less what I do with Zed. Its a little harder in star wars because people get really up in arms about what is canon, and its a franhcise with many contradicting parts trying to be cohesive. I need to take a step back from it all sometimes.
Yeah, Star Wars is, in the most loving and respectful way, an overwhelming story with a TON of stuff to comb through(Kudos to people who comb through all of it, y'all have way more staying power than I could), and yeah, sometimes taking a step back is required. Sometimes(Usually in Scarecrow stuff because, again, writers never make him consistent literally EVER or flesh him out significantly EVER(there are some comics that are exceptions but usually it's like a gacha to obtain Scarecrow characterization)) I just pick and choose what bits are canon for the story I'm trying to tell and if people have problems with it, ask them what makes it a problem and ignoring it if they don't give an answer.
I usually only give it my time if it's something that genuinely fucks up stuff outside of the selfship(I.E, if I were to make Jonathan Crane the one to take out Martha and Thomas Wayne, or if I were to make Emperor Belos accepting of witches right off the bat), or if it's something that's genuinely harmful.(I.E, romanticizing genuinely toxic codependency with Scarecrow and my SI, or shifting stuff to say Belos was right in his hateful mindset all along).
I've never understood people who think canon is the end-all-be-all of things, especially if it's for an AU, I think we should be allowed to play toys however we want tbh
Oh for sure. With something like batman you can usually just pick an interpretation and fill them out a little. But with star wars they're still trying to expand a story on a franchise thats been around longer than my parents have known each other. Its the most ambitious franchise, but its not without its many, many flaws. The only other thing i can think of it star trek, and even that has an alternate timeline.
To go off on a tangent, it just works more if the guy who killed batmans parents is a random guy, joe chill i think his name was?(imagine if that was mr freezes real name lol). If its someoen like the joker or the scarecrow it feels to soap opera "it was me barry". very contrived.
But i get it. Thats the thing with my ship. In canon, i acknowlege that his behavior doesn't grant him companionship, but in my ship, i'm acknowleging that if he would stop being such a bastard to at least one person then it would benefit him. There are some fans that just romanticize being a bastard to a partner, and id argue thats less in line with star wars than my healing au. You've had weird offputting romantic dynamics in star wars before but something like palpatine and sly moore was never meant to be desirable.
In my case, i've always prided myself on understanding the story and narrative its trying to tell on terms of its general thesis. Today a lot of people get too caught up in specifics and checklists. And in something like star wars, i think its moral stances are something that you should really think about. its stances on balance vs imbalance. so to point back to the previous paragraph, i feel me saying that vulnerability and humility leads to peace and healing is more in line with star wars than letting a villain have what he wants for being a peice of shit(unless we're talking botched redemption arcs or the nightsisters but lets not get into that, no franchise is perfect)
Yeah, with Star Wars, sometimes you have to treat elements like a sandwich at Subway.
By that I mean, like, you have to pick your parts you focus on carefully. You don't want to hyperfocus on the little details to the point of figuring out what like. Biggus Diccus' favorite coffee drink is if Biggus Diccus is a throwaway character who shows up once, y'know?
Star Wars seems like a story that's the sum of its parts more than the parts all separated. Over-specificity is how things get lost in translation.
And I totally agree, the person who took out Bruce Wayne's parents should be just Some Guy and not one of his Rogues because that introduces. timeline confusion(And none of the big ones/the ones people usually think of with his Rogue's Gallery seem remotely connected to the Wayne family aside from Harvey usually being a really good friend of Bruce, Black Mask, and a few others somehow having connections to the Wayne family)and just not being very satisfying?? Like, I personally see the Wayne family tragedy as a sign of Gotham's underlying issues that Bruce goes out of his way to fix so nobody else has to deal with that pain(As Batman, but hushhhh /silly)
ANYWAYS, yeah, sometimes you have to make compromises for some things, but honestly? I think that's okay. I'm not as big of a Star Wars head as you are(I am the big struggler with franchises that massive), but it definitely feels more in-line for vulnerability and humility leading to healing and peace with Star Wars than Maul getting egged, slammed into the laundry hamper, and sent down fifteen flights of stairs into La Casa del Infierno for eternity. And your take feels more satisfying imo.
Yeah, I think its just, spend long enough in the fandom and you'll find a lot of people try to connect it as much as evangelicals try to make the bible sound cohesive. Doesn't help it has a lot of biblical symbolism lol.
Yeah, what matters wasn't who killed his partents, but that his parents were killed at all. Also if it were a rogue they'd likely be too old to be galavanting in a funny suit.
Star wars is definitely a hard franchise to get into. i don't fault you if you only want to pay attention to just the moves or a couple shows, thats completely fine. Don't let the fandom sarlacc pit digest you f or 2000 years like its trying to do to me XD
Lmaooo that's funny. To be fair it was he who tripped down the stairs himself. I'm just like "hey, what if he stopped doing that? or what if he tired? what would that look like?"
Oh yeah, definitely, some of the people I've seen who go really REALLY in-depth trying to connect everything sometimes give off the vibes of dudebros who spend far too much time thinking about power scaling from the little peeps in that I've done jdgjkh
Absolutely, especially because usually, Bruce is in his at least late 30s when he's Batman.
I lowkey have been interested in Vader stuff because he seems so interesting to me but I'm also like "He would consume my every waking thought" so I am. inCREDIBLY careful with climbing that hill XD
What if he decided to take the elevator for once type vibes, which honestly, sounds super interesting as a metaphor, now that I think about it ajsdgkj
Ohhh yeah it really does lol. They make it out to be more important than it really is. If you' follow're a stickler for canon then you count the rise of skywalker, and if you're a stickler for legends you count the holiday special. so just choose what you like. i like grievous' legends backstory but i also like mauls arc in rebels.
Id say hes younger than that but then I remembered magnus scheving doing impossible push ups at 40 and okay yeah that checks out. i've been very into batman lore a while ago so its fun to talk about again!
Vader is incredibly interesting. Just steer away from the comic with the nurse. it was so stupid. A lot of canon vader is just "hey psst buddy we need you to come in and aura farm. okay we got it. you can go now", but theres also a lot of media where he's very fleshed out.
Yeah, i feel like the only thing separating you from right and wrong is a choice. so what if he made that choice? and how would he make it? its very interesting to think about. cause in the healing au you get domestic stuff but between two grumpy ex siths who bicker like they're a lot older than they actually are lol
Thank goodness I'm not hallucinating that jsdfhkdjh
Yeah, his age varies from continuity to continuity but the youngest I've seen Bruce is thirties, lol
I love Vader being the aura farmer of Star Wars, like it gives the mental image of him sitting back in his recliner, realizing there's dramatic music somewhere, and remembering he has somewhere to be XD
That's a great way to go about it! I've never seen right and wrong as states of being, but rather choices one makes. Like, nobody is inherently good or bad, their choices reflect them, if that makes sense. Everyone is capable of good, everyone is capable of bad type thing!
That seems about right. I assume it took him a while to get good at both business and fitness. though i wonder who took control of his company when he was young.
LMAOOO. It gets old fast though. Because he's a very fascinating character, and theres so much more to him then acting like michael myers
Yeah exactly. Star wars shows that too. How a jedi like anakin fell to the dark side, and how a horrible dictator like vader returned to the light.
I'm sure he gets tired of it himself sometimes, like, he gets a ping on his Evil Phone and sighs because he JUST got comfy and now he has to go be Michael Myers AGAIN
I love when people do that kinda thing, it's so much cooler than "Good is natural lol"
I'm sure thats what he feels like to palpatine lol. He's full of destructive regret. I think, aside from his rageful threatening aura, he also embodies depression.
Yeah. And less...fucking awful? I hate "inherintly evil" shit.
Which reminds me of something I might make an isolated post.
Yeah, I find it so interesting that with most of his fights recently whenever he's shown up, it seems effortless to him which is equal parts cool and God somebody get him some earl gray tea and a good book
I promise I want to draw Samuel seriously soon please trust me(Samuel Walter belongs to @a-magpie-in-gravesfield, hope you don't mind the kinda jokeposty fanart, he's so cool I want to squeeze him like a squeaky toy /vpos)
!This page may update over time!
So I was looking at my inbox and noticed I got sent an ask. Likely due to site bugs, I was not able to answer directly, but I'm sure the asker will be able to see this post.
Hello Anon! Firstly, thanks for the fun ask! Keep in mind this post will apply to most toxins. I'll be using my own designs and process as examples. What I recommend does NOT have to be followed. In the end it's your design and it should be for fun most of all. I'm just presenting what the "ideal and average Phisnom toxicsona/toxin/toxic blob oc" should have.
For those tuning into this lengthy post with no idea what I'm on about, I'll be excerpting the toxicsona submission form Phisnom/Phil made for his toxicsona review streams. (Phil being the leader of the Toxic Cesspit community, though you don't have to be in it to make one if you just feel like it.)
(The official toxicsona species name is toxin. Despite "sona" being in the name, a toxicsona does NOT have to be representative of you! Toxicsonas aka toxins can also be regular ocs!) Now to the advice!
1. READ UP!
Read the Toxicsonas For Dummies character guide! This image contains all the basic lore and traits for toxins! What I say going forward may reference it. (Reading may also give you some fun ideas!)
You should also peep this from the toxicsona submission form:
In order to have a toxin you need* a:
Dark body for a base with accents (ie lines) that must be neon/brightly colored.
Mouth(s) with sharp teeth. Ideally will have at least one extra mouth somewhere on the form.
Unique pattern image for the body.
*You may not need it but it's more or less what makes a toxin a toxin. I'll be going over each point in detail later!
2. Purpose
What purpose will your blob fill? Are you creating an oc, a sona for yourself, or something else? This will affect what you create and how. If you have a preexisting design/sona you want to toss into the slime, reference off that design! Use what you know about that character/person to create this new form!
Starting from scratch? What I do is come up with a basic idea to concept off of! Think of something you want to design! If you need help, try using one of the countless idea generators out there or put your head together with others and see what you come up with! Moodboards, playlists, and Pinterest albums also serve well! Whatever type of brainstorming gets your inspiration bug flying, go for it!
Regardless, one thing to make note of is who was this design in life? Most blobs were once living beings. They all come from a liquid superorganism called The Substance. When a living being with a consciousness foreign to the slime (like a person) is absorbed into The Substance, it'll be spit out and reanimated anew if it has a strong will. Your blob must've been alive or had a connection to living things. Then it must have undergone some sort of transformation after making contact with The Substance. Asking who your blob was before the slime will be very helpful!
3. Body
You likely either have an idea of what your design will be, or you're jumping headfirst into the doing part. Either is okay! Everyone's process is different. If your design is based off a preexisting one, you're likely to make the new form into a similar shape. Some things to think about when coming up with a body:
A slime body is meant to reflect the ideal self. What are your toxin's ideal traits? If you're making a sona, what are YOUR ideal traits?
What were they when alive? Were they a feral stray cat? A human? You may want to stick to a shape that resembles their former appearance, especially if they are in denial of being a slime.
Who were they when alive? Did they like a certain animal a lot? Give them physical traits of said animal! Maybe your toxin wanted freedom, so they develop the wings they always envisioned. Maybe they believe they were a terrible person and so deserve the devil horns on their head. Were they two-faced? Give them two faces!
Is this the only form they have? Do I want to add a simplified blob form? Do I want to make a bigger/smaller form? If my character has an alter ego disguise, should I make a form for it?
(Most toxins have a simplified little blob form, reflecting what they looked like at default after The Substance. They're super cute and puntable!)
How much mass do they have? The more mass a blob has, the more they have to work with physically, the more developed they are. What appendages have they formed with this mass? Many toxins lack legs, including Phi himself, who is simply too lazy to use legs. Why your blob does/doesn't have legs can have a reason too!
What colors are they? Common dark colors for the majority of the body include black, gray, and dark shades of any given color (ex dark blue.) The neon can be just about any color! If the design is a sona, pick your favorite color(s)! Keep the color vibrant- it's supposed to stand out from the dark color! Your slime will always be surrounded by a dark/black outline around the very edge.
Where's the extra mouth(s)? The best designs have a mouth placed with thought, but not all are. Thoughtfully placed mouths have significance to the toxin. Scars/important wounds on their living body can become mouths. Perhaps if they were a gluttonous or starved person, you'll put a mouth on their belly to represent their hunger. If they're anxious about their mouth or general appearance, maybe it's hidden. (Ideally let the mouth be visible. It's visually appealing.)
(Dutch's extra mouth is on his back. Wings were always a big part of him, both appearance and story-wise, so the mouth emphasizes that. His wings come out of the mouth like tongues!)
Being a cartoonist, we're personally big on shape language and like to have designs with strong, recognizable silhouettes, but you do not have to do this.
Some advice on basics for drawing your slime!
Here's how I create the lineart, clothing coloring, and the outline that surrounds the blobs. (Some steps may be done at the same time or skipped entirely. This is the Nightowl 33 method so your mileage may vary.)
Draw lineart.
Alpha lock lineart layer. Recolor it to neon color.
Clip new layer on lineart. Color clothes black.
New layer for body color.
Move body color layer under lineart.
Color body colors. (I clip different clothing coloring layers on the main color layer. This main base color layer gets colored black when ready.)
Make a folder. Place all lineart, lineart coloring, and all body coloring layers in the folder.
Add a dark color outline in a layer beneath the folder. (I use the "stroke (outer)" tool in my art program, ibisPaint X.)
How I draw eyes!
Draw eye lineart.
New layer, clip on lineart layer, draw dark circle.
Layer sclera coloring under lineart layer.
Add pupil layer below lineart layer and above sclera layer.
(Coloration used to show different steps/parts of the eye!)
(Without the weird example coloring, your end result should look like this!)
4. Pattern
Much like how everyone has their own unique fingerprint, every toxin with a well defined identity develops their own unique pattern. Coming up with the right pattern is tricky! Patterns are made up of symbols, lines, or a combination of. They have a rhyme and reason to them. A pattern to the pattern, so to speak.
(Here's a bunch of example patterns, created by me (sometimes with the help of CrystalKleure), or Phil and StupidButterfly. Stare at them for a while and take some notes on what rhythms you recognize.)
For maximum appeal, your pattern cannot be too complex or simple! Try to select 2-4 symbols/lines to create your pattern. These symbols/lines should be thematically relevant to your blob. Ex: A spiderweb pattern for spider-themed toxins, checker pattern for a blob that likes checkers/chess, a UFO for an alien slime, eyes for an angel slime or a slime that loves/fears being watched! (You may also want to reference off the emotion patterns if your blob is heavily associated with an emotion. Ex: sparkles for a very happy/excited slime!)
Feel free to pick basic shapes, like triangles and circles, for one or more symbols.
Create a few variants of your chosen symbols. Draw them big, medium, and small. Fill some of them, leave others empty/"hollow."
Patterns are seamless! This means when you apply a pattern to your toxin's clothing or body, it must be able to consistently loop! While you may wing it, below is a handy lifehack to easily make a seamless tiling pattern by @crystalkleure !
1. Draw a base design
2. Split that design in half, and arrange the two halves like this. [You might want to use guide lines/a guide grid to make sure the pixels line up in such a way that these two halves will stitch back together correctly, so they'd make clones of the base image again if you were to tile sets of these halves horizontally.]
3. Stitch the two halves together by adding more to the design
4. Split the image again like you did in step 2, except this time split the top and bottom apart instead of the sides.
5. Add more stuff to the design again, in any way that crosses the "seam" made by step 4 [where the top of the bottom half meets the bottom of the top half].
And if you lined up the pixels correctly while you were splitting and rearranging the chunks, you now have an image that tiles seamlessly both horizontally and vertically.
The trick is just splitting an image into halves, swapping those halves' places, and then adding more to the image to hide the seam made by splitting and rearranging parts of it like that. Do it with the sides and you get a horizontally-tiling image, do it with the top and the bottom and you get a vertically-tiling image, do it with both the sides and the top + bottom and you get an image that tiles in all four directions.
Here's a speedpaint where I make a pattern using this method! While creating, double checking that your pattern looks good when looped is important! Don't forget to experiment with placements!
(Wow! What a cool pattern!)
Your pattern doesn't have to be insanely unique, hell you don't even HAVE to have one, but it's honestly better if you come up with one. There's no reason NOT to have a pattern unless it's for lore reasons, such as a confused identity or a mimic character. (Do NOT copy others' patterns and make them your own, especially without permission!)
(Phee, Pho, and Phum have the same default pattern as Phi because they're copycat scammers! They try to convince others they're related to Phi to get what they want.)
Gradient and pattern application!
Now you may want to give your slime a gradient! Gradients tend to appear on the lower halves of blobs but can be placed anywhere! Below is a guide to show how I apply the pattern and gradients to the body! While defaults apply to many toxins, like Phi, they do not have to be followed.
Clip pattern layer over body color layer. (Pattern transparency default is 47%.)
New layer (add mode), place under pattern, clip over body color layer. Draw gradient. (Gradient transparency default is 40%.)
Alpha lock the pattern layer.
Airbrush the upper half pattern layer with the dark body color.
The pattern is often the same color as the neon lineart, while the gradient is often a darker version of the color.
(Weird bright green coloration used to emphasize the layers clipped onto it.)
(The finished gradient, sans weird example coloring, looks just like Phi's!)
Here's how to apply a pattern to clothing! Create a new layer with the pattern. Clip it to your base. (Pattern layers on clothes are usually somewhat transparent. The default is 65% but you can deviate.)
5. Outfit
Clothing is a HUGE self expression that extends to the world of toxins! Blobs can harden mass they acquire, turning it into wearable cartilage clothing! Below are some tips but the bottom line is DESIGN WHAT YOU WANT.
Who they were before the slime often heavily influences their outfit(s). Ex, if your blob was a clown when alive, they may dress the same as a slime.
You'll often find the body pattern on the clothes, but you don't have to do this.
A popular addition to blob fashion is caution/hazard tape! While often black and yellow, feel free to deviate the colors.
(A bunch of fashionable slime outfits with caution tape themes that I made or had a hand in making!)
Phil does not like hoodies on toxins but you can totally join the #hoodiesweep nation. (It would be super funny.) That aside, many do put their blobs in hoodies, so avoiding a standard hoodie is preferable if you want to make a super unique design.
You don't have to give your blob any clothes, especially if they're non-humanoid. Accessories are still recommended to personalize your design and make it stand out from an average ...whatever it is.
Unlike the rest of the slime body that has colored lineart, clothing almost ALWAYS has black/dark color lineart.
Any slime overlapping atop non-slime materials requires a black outline, including over clothing.
(While the consistency of this rule varies with established toxin art (ie Phi), I personally try to apply it as much as possible, even when slime overlaps slime. It makes things look nicer and allows the neon lines to stand out more. It's also easier to make out what's going on when looked at.)
Misc. tips!
Bananas are the main unit of measurement in the cesspit! Giving your blob a height can help people draw them to scale, especially when drawn next to other blobs! To get the accurate height:
1. Conjure a length of your choice.
2. Convert your length to inches (in).
3. Divide the inches by 7. (Because 7 inches is the average length of a grocery store banana.)
4. Congrats! You have banana height! Now you can also reverse the order and get standard heights!
Too gay or lazy to do math? Click here for faster conversion! http://bananaforscale.info/#!/
(Note the results will be slightly shorter than my method above but the measurements are about the same so who really cares about that.)
Come up with a backstory for your toxin! If you haven't already made one during the design process, you may want to now!
-Consider what life was like before they came in contact with The Substance. How did they feel about their old life?
-How did they come in contact with The Substance? (Preferably avoid the basic backstory of accidentally falling into a vat. It's overdone, mainly due to how vague lore was before the toxicsona review streams. I'd suggest letting Phi lure them into the slime or tossing them in, if you want something traditional. Phi's goal is to make a blob army, after all.)
-What is their life like now, post-Substance? How do they feel about their new life?
(Canon backstory comic on how Phee, Pho, and Phum became blobs!)
Feeling social? Working with other cesspit members (or your own ocs), you can develop links between your toxins! Make your friend's blob their friend! Or maybe enemy! Why not ship them? GO NUTS????
(Phee is a massive flirt in the cesspit. Mr. Sex/Noctus belongs to @corovusin !)
-Consider how your blob may feel about others. Are they a social butterfly or a shut in? Who do they like? Who would they rather avoid?
-What are their thoughts on Phi, the leader? (Generally avoid giving them a super strong, personal bond with Phi, such as relatives, best friends, or close partners of any kind. Phi does not have a family and she's a total bitch to just about everyone!)
-Phil says there's no love in the cesspit but he's literally just a hater. Make your ocs gay kiss!!
Feel like cooking a little more? Why not design a pre-slime form if it doesn't already exist?
(Phee and Phum before their fatal scam attempt on Phi.)
Many cesspit users also create a "living disguise" form for their toxins, so the slimes can wander among others without rousing suspicion! Blobs have the ability to learn to shapeshift. It's a skill that must be mastered with experience and time, so disguise forms often have "flaws" that give away an inhuman quality, like extra mouths, eyes, patterns, or gradients on their skin.
(Dutch is very good at shapeshifting, so his disguise lacks most flaws. The flaws that are there are mostly intentional, since he's proud of his slime qualities. A blob who perfects the skill of shifting can look like an ordinary human, but where's the fun in that?)
Most toxins can change color based on emotion. (They may also change based on other factors so feel free to get creative with it.)
-As a slime has a base pattern and color of choice, these will change based on their mood and that mood's assigned color! Many toxins share patterns and colors with Phi (like red and triangle pattern for mad, blue and flowered squiggles for sad, etc.) but this is not a rule. You can assign any color to any mood. You are not limited to Phi's emotion set either! You can even make your own patterns for your blob's moods if you feel like it!
-Some color changes are very subtle in some slimes! Is this true for yours?
-Modifying the design of your blob to match their mood is a fun way to create expressive and interesting variants!
(Dutch's hair, horn shape, halo, face, and hands can change with his mood! He has an array of emotional patterns, both preset and custom-made, to match the different colors/moods.)
(When Goober was alive, they had DID. Mimicking the behavior of their former life, the three alters, Ziggy, Skrunk, and Wumbus, became separate blobs. They still need to work together to function properly. They combine to bodily become "Goober." Goober's left eye functions as a collective eye, while their right eyes that can emote separately reflect their respective alter.)
(Goober's default color is green, indicating all alters are co-fronting. When there is a primary fronter or two, the upper body color changes to match!)
Design a shell for your toxin! Shells are foreign objects blobs use, often to live, sleep, or hide in. Shells are protective. ANYTHING can be a shell. Not all toxins need one, but those that do often have a thematic shell that relates to who they are. (Ex: Phi-barrel, Bucket-bucket, Collette-chocolate box.)
(Thanks to his angelic theming, Dutch's shell is a reliquary- a display container for holy relics, often being remnants of holy figures. Goober's shell of choice is a mini UFO!)
Stuck? Want to grow your design with less work? Collaborate with others or take their advice if you like what they give you. Ask people what they'd change about your design!
You should NOT be designing just for the approval of Phisnom, You should design for YOURSELF (or whoever is paying you- I see you, adopt/custom ppl.) He's just another person out there. Yes, a creator of the species, but he does not have to dictate your choices or give your design an S tier ranking just to validate it. The satisfaction should come from inside, not outside.
Hope these tips help, best of luck creating your own toxin(s), and feel free to ask any additional questions regarding this! ✌️
Open to suggestions/new info on this post too, just send it my way
Voidjesters are a very community-driven species.It is rare to find any on their own, but if they are alone, chances are high that they are seeking out others.
Their hearts are music boxes, each having its own song. They literally live by music.
Fruit is ingrained in the culture, as is performance. To outsiders, them throwing tomatoes at performers after a performance might seem cruel, but worry not! This is them telling the performer(s) that they did well and that they wish a bountiful existence for them!(Never going hungry, always having enough to eat and live comfortably, ect)
They're impish by nature, but never outright harmful. If one tries to harm another person, chances are high that they're scared, feeling endangered, or are playing a little too rough! There are of course, outliers, however, a majority of them are only looking for a bit of a prank!
If a Voidjester comes across another Voidjester who has an overly detailed tragedy mask, they see this as a cry for help and gather as much fruit, craft supplies, and spare blank masks as they can so that the crier(as they're called in the culture)can have a full stomach and a mask they feel suits them!
They look down on extravagant masks due to the deity that created them being one of the "poorer" ones. Extravagant masks are allowed if you get Voicarr(Their deity)'s blessing, however!
They're playful at heart, only wanting to stir up minimal trouble to get some simple laughs!
They live all over, their diets varying depending on their climate, however, their love for fruit still prevails!
They have some species-cousins, being the flareclowns and snugglepuffs, but the Voidjester is the more mischevious of the three species!
Tea parties are a must-attend with these species due to it being on such a grand scale, and you're always expected to bring at least a tray of baked goods. It's on the same scale as a banquet or Christmas celebration and if a member of the community doesn't show up for a reason that's just not wanting to engage with the community(They understand if there are genuine reasons, don't worry!!), they treat the non-attendee as if they aren't fully part of the community.
After the party is over, the community-decided wellness checker will go to check on the person who didn't attend to make sure they're in good health with a basket of the leftover baked goods and a pitcher of leftover tea :3

My FNAF AU Puppet design is done!! I decided to make Her name a pun and name her "Maria o' Nette" lmao Wanted to make her actually look like a wooden Puppet while still matching well with my Chuck E Cheese Styled designs of the others and so far I love how she turned out!
Regarding the Puppet / Charlie lore wise in my AU she's pretty different to her game counterpart as instead of a child I took some inspiration from the books and made Charlie a young adult and she works at Freddy's alongside her father Henry Emily ( She and Henry do voice work for Freddy's ) She also helps keep the place and Animatronics clean and presentable prior to her death in 1981. In this AU she gets murdered by William after hours while she's cleaning up when no one else is around.
Heres my FNAF AU's Roxy model! In this AU Shes named Roxie West and is Guest Star for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Playhouse akin to the Chuck E. Cheese character Harmony Howlette , with a Cowgirl appearance inspired by Roxy's secret of the Mimic design!
These are my models of Freddy Fazbear's Mascot Suit and Plushie for my FNAF AU! I based His mascot suit heavily off the 1977 versions of Chuck E. Cheese's mascot suits.
