I'm lost and my brainrot's got the compass

30+ | They/them | Married to @hawker-the-gary I'm an OC artist trying to make a visual novel! Sometimes I do fanart too, and sometimes I stream. Terminally obsessed about my son, Asher. Art tag: Scribbles from the Moon Gift/fanart tag: Monarch's treasures Support me: Ko-fi

My visual novel, World Cell: Chronicles of the Orovahn, is now in production! It will be an 18+ narrative-driven fantasy VN with ADV segments.

There is no release date for the game yet. It'll get done when it's done, but I will be progressively working towards a demo!

To reach this point with any project has been a huge milestone for me, and World Cell has been a project of the purest passion from me, one that I haven't felt in literal ages. I can't guarantee I'll share frequent updates, but I'll share some on occasion!!

For now...admire the view with me.....cuz it took me over two days to get this menu to look and function properly XDDDD

haiiii hellooo :3c

I discovered your jsrf art when I was starting to get into the fandom n such

I really lobe da way you draw tab/corn! (Just really like your art style in general tehe) to the point I wannna make an oc x canon with him! I really lobe ur art style n hoping to see more of your jsr AU :3

Oh thank you for the glowing compliment! Corn's always been a longtime favorite of mine. Dude's just got so much aura to him, and I can't help but shake him around and wonder "what goes on in that leader brain of yours? :3"

I wanted to work more on it, but the last few weeks had me pulled in multiple directions xD. Don't worry, I still intend on releasing it when it reaches a decent enough state!

Fanfic questions

Soooooooooooooooooooooo............this one's for the JSR folks.

For a few years now, I've been working on a JSRF fanfic on and off. Concept came in 2012-2013, I revisited the concept and began the fic proper in 2022, stopped and wrote more in 2023, and took a hiatus until now, where I decided to be more serious with it as a passion project.

In short, the fanfic's a retelling of JSRF'S story, but with the whack-ass added concept of supernatural elements, monsters based on negative human emotions, soul weapons, and stuff like that. Think JSRF meets shit like...idk, Bleach or Persona, but not actually using the same concepts as either. The supernatural stuff came from another story I made in high school, but anyway, that's beside the point.

I haven't released it because at the time, I had like next to no confidence in myself, but the current plan is to finish my big arc (the Poison Jam arc), and slowly release what all I've got while I write more. Of course there's the mild fear that I'll chicken out, but I gotta push thru that XD I want people to see it dammit, and above all, I want to write a fic 18/19-year-old me would go crazy for.

So here's the actual question: I plan on releasing it onto AO3, but should I also release it onto tumblr as well? (obviously under read-mores.) The plan of presentation is writing with "screenshots" interspersed in the chapters itself, and I think that might be something I can do on tumblr.

(also how do AO3 tags work XD)

The fanfic is called Jet Set Soul Drive, or JSSD for short c:

2012 > 2026

Decided on a whim to remake one of my ancient fanarts of Corn from my deviantart days. 2012 me would be so happy…

[monarch-moon]

If you'll allow me to bleed my heart out for a moment, I was emotional yesterday, and I rambled about it on IG.

haiii hellooo:3c

So it's been a while since the rebooted version of jsr has been annonced..how you feeling about that?:3

Any hopes and ideas of how new Tab/Corn and Slate/Soda would look like... :3ccc

At first I was unsure, but now that it's been a long time, I'm pretty excited for what it could bring! Given how JSR was a love letter to 90s street culture, and Future for the 2000s, I hope JSR3 shows the best of modern street culture! I'm actually pretty intrigued with the artstyle too, and the movement does look more fun!

As for ideas on what Tab/Corn and Slate/Soda would look like....oh man, that's an interesting thought. Those two had more a more cartoonish look to them, especially Soda, so I'm wondering how they'll be incorporated in a more realistic style?? It's possible! Perhaps JSR3 Soda may look closer to his original concept art , but as for Corn....given the designs we've seen so far are more references to their OG selves (at least in the colors), we could probably safely assume he'd have a more mechanic-ish design like OG Tab!
