Welcome to Pygmalion Theory!

What is this blog? What's Pygmalion Theory????

Pygmalion Theory is what I like to call "a story of indeterminate medium." Which means I have a lot of ideas for a project but only have vague ideas about what form it will take in the end. At the moment, what does exist of PT isn’t much more than a bunch of disconnected thoughts strewn about various different places. This blog is an attempt to change that. Though I have a lot of story stored up in my brain, I don’t know how exactly I want to tell it or when that’s going to happen (if it happens at all). Thus! The creation of a blog documenting what does exist of this project and my many rambling thoughts about the whole process. I hope to make interacting with this whole thing a lot easier and allow people to get a more complete sense of what's going on.

Ok but what's Pygmalion Theory about?

Haha! Funny question. It's about a lot of things, as most stories tend to be, but the sort of elevator pitch I've been going with is that it's like one of those kids movies where all of the Halloween monsters are actually real except I've thought way too hard about about how everything works.

The story mainly follows Emmett Livingston, an undead monster constructed in a similar way to Frankenstein's monster, from the moment of their reanimation and through the months and years after. There's also a fairly large cast of supporting characters who all have their own backstories that usually happen before Emmett's around.

PT takes place ~2015-2016 in a fictional town in Colorado (US) in a world generally similar to our own. Though there are some strong themes around science throughout, magic is also a thing.

In terms of general trigger warnings, PT is fairly chill and SFW, but as you can guess death is discussed pretty frequently and regularly. One of the main characters is a zombie, so cartoon gore will be frequent, and Emmett himself can do the classic taking off limbs thing so mild body horror/dismemberment will also be common. Anything worse than that I'll try to tag.

What now?

Those are all of the basics! Anything else should be easily found just on the blog or via the Neocities site.

BREAKING NEWS! emmett cat

[riggedbones]

emmett isn’t really comes back wrong trope because they aren’t the one who left in the first place. but also they are comes back wrong trope they just came back so very wrong. she’s gone now, there’s someone else there now. but sometimes the resemblance is…

[riggedbones]

points at emmett. guy who tries too hard to be nice and agreeable all the time but like he likes being nice and funny and :) and he is often just like that but my friend my guy it is okay to have a problem. it is okay to maybe come off as a bit harsh. it’s alright.

[riggedbones]

It’s something else, it came from something else. The cold must’ve come from somewhere.

just drew this w my mouse (sleepy)

[riggedbones]

only got like half of this in focus and can’t be bothered to take another picture… very rare lucky traditional pen drawings

EDIT: day later decided to retake the picture so it's no longer super blurry.. no longer the full sketchbook page but small price to pay. these doodles are my favs out of the bunch :)

The website has its first official Lore Page! About the Pygmalion Theory. Pages are always subject to change and updates in the future, but there are quite a few words on there, a few paragraphs, even.

what oc if any would listen to cbat (not in the way your thinking just the song in general)

this is a really good question actually. had to get out the ole character list to make sure i wasn't forgetting someone obvious. seven i think

[riggedbones]

which ocs would you trust their music taste for a long road trip? Which would you never under any circumstances pass the aux cord?

objectively safest bet would be steve but like that could end up being very boring and could also end up with listening to the same 20 songs on loop. most of the others would be more interesting but also there is bound to be a few songs that are not enjoyable. emmett would probably be the worst though ngl

[riggedbones]

What are some favorite foods/snacks of your ocs? Do the time skeletons need to absorb energy/eat or do they just kinda exist

time skeletons do not need to eat they feed of chaos. but they don't know that.

as for other characters... melanie and mateo might seem at first glance to just be enjoyers of foods required by monster diet BUT they can and have to eat other things. melanie likes coffee she loves coffee she likes to say that she runs entirely off of blood and coffee. this is not true but its close enough. mateo likes a lot of fruits. mango especially favorite fruit. give him a smoothie.
