OFFICIAL HIATUS POST
Heya! Mun Chorus, aka Choco, here. It's... been a while, I know, and I'm sorry this update isn't a good one.
Lately I just haven't felt the motivation to work on this blog. To be honest, I haven't exactly had the same kind of interest in JSaB as when I started this blog. And this blog is old. Old enough that the story feels, in some ways, dated to me, and I have better ideas that I want to work on and build.
I think a good part of it is that I'm just tired. JSiAB has had upwards of 150 story posts over four years. That doesn't sound like a lot, but I draw multiple panels for each one. I think it's safe to say I've had to make at least 300+ drawings for this blog alone, and that takes a toll on a guy. It takes a long time for me to finish even one drawing, plus I've had limited time to draw for many months.
I've had other projects and ideas in my head, but every time I've wanted to work on them, reason says I should just finish what I started, and instead of working on them, I go back to drawing JSiAB. It feels like it's holding me back from pursuing the other projects I want to do. So there are four years' worth of ideas rattling around in my skull. Which is not a good feeling, lemme tell ya.
So, for now, I think I want to take a public break. I think it might be good for me to just tell you all I'm not going to draw for this or make any major pieces for it.
If you still want content, I can give character facts or short writeups if you ask (like what's everyone's Stardew marriage candidate or something, which is a question I put thought into) but the plot won't be progressing for a good while.
I can't tell you when I'll return to this blog, but if it's any reassurance, I hate leaving projects unfinished. And I do love the characters of JSiAB. I promise that at the very least, I will publicly explain the rest of the story someday, even if I don't draw it out.
Apologies, and see y'all sometime!
Ohhh!! ^_^ I see!!!
O_O WAIT WHAT.
@anonymous-red-shades
Fresh: Well, no. I was blue, actually.
Fresh: Mind you, I was pink first, and really angry for some reason. Corruption reason, probably.
Fresh: And it was a bit of an out-of-body experience from what I remember.
Fresh: But for a while? I remember being blue. And I was fine.
Fresh: At least, until this cyan Shape came along.
Barracuda: I think I know who you're talking about. Go on.
Fresh: It's all kind of a blur, but she did... something.
Fresh: After that, I came out the Treeangle.
Fresh: You probably know how it went from there.
Fresh: Everyone was scared of me, then I found myself a nice place to stay in, and...
Fresh: That Shape stumbled into my cave one day.
Fresh: I remembered her.
Fresh: And I just saw red.

Still not back, but as it turns out, some of my links weren't working. I should have fixed them now!
are you still there cuz it's been months since you last posted
Hey, bit rude to rush, but yes, I am.
Sorry about the delay. JSiAB has kind of fallen back due to IRL work coming first. I'll most likely resume posting sometime in May.
Expect a similar schedule in the coming years, I suppose? An askblog is a very long project.
Consider this a hiatus esque announcement.
Next post IS in the works, though. Main reason I didn't get it out earlier is because it's shaping up to be long and a little experimental.
To every JSAB fan that have AUS, what exactly is the corruption like in your AU?
Without going into spoilers...
Corruption manifests as an extremely heightened emotional state, where the Corrupted person in question will begin lashing out violently at both friend and foe alike. So far, pink is a visual indicator of Corruption.
Being Corrupted actively inhibits an individual's ability to think clearly, and intensifies their (usually negative) emotions beyond control. Un-corrupted individuals will remember everything that happened while Corrupted. It's not pleasant.
There are two main methods of Corruption - Infection and Distress. Infection is caused by significant damage from other Corrupted, whilst Distress is directly tied to emotional frustration. Cactae can only be Infected, and Shapes can only be corrupted by Distress - they will die if significantly damaged by Corrupted. Rhythms can be affected by both to a lesser degree.
While Corrupted, the natural power levels of a Player rises to "Combat Form" levels, roughly equal to one Power Triangle's worth of power that is going to be directed at everyone around them. Thus, Power Triangles and the Song of Purification are needed to neutralize Corruption.
Corruption is never permanent, as far as natural cases go. If an individual stays Corrupted for a long time, eventually their power levels will recede and manifest as a Corrupted Power Triangle. Corrupted Power Triangles act as "levels", forming a little pocket dimension full of traps and attacks within a certain area. Once the level is "cleared", the Power Triangle can be un-corrupted. Dealing with Corrupted Triangles is a dangerous job left to only the strongest Players.
Finally, nobody really knows why Corruption happens. It's just been part of life since Paradise existed, and a danger everyone's learned to live with.
Apologizes Barracuda! ^_^ But… you said something about having the same problem… does that imply you and Fresh are the only two shapes to not be able to heal your corruption..? I wonder why that is.
Barracuda: Apology accepted.
They move across the room to what you guess is where they sleep.
Barracuda: As for your other question, unfortunately, I have no concrete answer.
Barracuda: I don't remember being any other way. I assume it's the same for you, Fresh?
Fresh: Uh, no.
Fresh: I was uncorrupted once.

Mini update!
Added Barracuda's information to the Character Masterpost, and fixed some old links.
That being said, updates will be slower for the next while. I want to say monthly at least, but I don't think I can even guarantee it. Got a lot of stuff going on out there, but I won't be killing this blog anytime soon!
YOO???? Cuda???? Well actually what’s your name here?
Barracuda: It's Barracuda. I don't know how you got that close.
Fresh: Hey, you're not a rock! And you... you look kinda like me!
Barracuda: ...
Barracuda: This is the first time I've met someone with the same problem as mine.
Barracuda: I've tried the Triangles and Song too, with Lilia. So, I can't say I have a solution.
Fresh: ...Oh. Damn.
Barracuda: Technically, I have yet to try the Treeangle, but considering how that whole fiasco went down, I don't think I want to.
Barracuda: I'll be honest. I don't know why you did that.
Fresh: ...Well, uh.

Hello there Great Sage.
Fresh: Hi. Uh, never talked to a rock before.
???: ... Please just get to the point.
Fresh: So, uh.
Fresh: You know how to cure Corruption?
Fresh: No song. No Triangles. ....No Treeangle.
???: Explain.
Fresh: Look, I've tried them all, and they don't work.
Fresh: FYI, it did reverse some other effects, namely turning into a giant centipede, just not-
???: Oh. It's you.
The rock shudders, then moves, pushed by a psychic force to reveal...
???: Come in. We have a lot to discuss.

(Sorry for mini hiatus again! I'm just gonna be busier from this point onwards, and updates will be sparser as a result. I'll post again when I do!)
Lav: uhhh, we’re looking for some Sage guy, do you know where they might…be? No pressure of course ^^
???: Oh, oh. Okay. I know them. Come with me.
???: It's like, a little past midnight, so uh...
???: Just warning you, the Sage might be kinda grumpy. Sorry.
The cactus leads you through a branching corridor of the Volcano, down to a strange hole in the wall blocked by a carved boulder.
Looks like you found who you're looking for. Lilia stiffens.
???: You brought visitors.
Lilia: U-uh, yes. I'm sor-
???: It's fine. Get some rest. I'll take care of things from here.
The sound of a sigh and a book flipping shut echoes lightly as Lilia scurries away.
???: You're here with questions, I presume.
???: Go on. I'm listening.
The nervous Cactus, Lilia, is no longer available for asks.
The Sage is now available for Asks.

Ok so. let's get going
It doesn't take long to get to the Volcano, surprisingly. Fresh tosses his tent outside and you enter.
Fresh: Well, we're here.
Fresh: Uh, anyone see any "volcano wise guys" or something? 'Cause I'm kinda lost here.

@im-just-the-askages @lavthequad
Fresh: Alright, good to hear.
Fresh: I think I remember the general direction of the Volcano, so just come with me...
(As you leave, you can't quite shake the feeling that...)
