[Aja rushes over to Lady Naimon as soon as she sees her, almost dropping the collection of scrolls from the archives from under her arms. "Lady Nima," she starts, then hesitates. Naimon looks at her but doesn't react, and Aja notices King Alaine's imposing presence a moment too late.]
I never trully figured it out but what is the role of Not-Tommy in this au ? Ive always wondered what he was gonna be, some sort of knight or squire ? :D
he eventually became someone truly different from where he started. I hope people will like him despite that!
would you ever post a doc with some of the written story more in-depth? id looove to see more about yout universe but i dont really know what to ask hahaha
perhaps once I've gotten a handle on the worldbuilding I'll set up a site or something! thank you for thinking of this
will AMR become a full comic of is it like. a “”multimedia”” style thing where u can only get the full whole story by looking at all the posts in this blog? or smth else entirely?? no matter what i love it!! big fan of u since like 2020:33
Wow, 2020? Thanks so much for sticking around despite my posting schedule!
I've been thinking on this question. As much as I would love for AMR to become a full comic, the scale of the story makes that pretty implausible unless I dedicated a literal decade of my time to it. It may end up becoming the AMR multimedia experience, but we'll see...!
If the list of characters still stands from what you mentioned before (previously techno, phil, wilbur, Tommy, tubbo, skeppy, bbh, tapl, eret, nikki, and a few unnamed “mythical beings”) my best guess would be that avornik is one of those “mythical beings”, some ancestor of sanya’s from their kingdom that they lost… Or it’s not-tapl disguised as an ancestor of sanya’s, since he seemed to like getting into not-techno’s head
Ding ding! Avornik is someone from long ago. Once those "mythical beings" were also based on mc characters which weren't announced to be a part of the 'au', and there are a couple of hints in this blog about which one she was if I'm remembering correctly.
okay i just scrolled your page down to the first modest renaissance post and i'm thinking maybe avornik was skeppy? bigger than sanya [aka more power] and blue... the one holding the torch, the one who sent sanya on this quest... that's my guess at least
also while i'm here. was the god not-phil killed to gain his power not-bbh? and that's why not-skeppy sent sanya on the quest? like revenge but not-skeppy can't do it by his own hand cuz he's a god with responsibilities
good guess! but you've already seen not-skeppy -- she's yurra!
and I can neither confirm nor deny the second. i've been developing not-bbh a lot though, i really like him
My latest art post was hinting at it but by this point I should just say it outright: A Modest Renaissance will no longer be an MCYT AU. More info under the cut.
Wait, it's ending?
No. If I stopped making content for AMR I think my brain would boil over.
What does this mean?
Characters and the story have changed. Some, like the one I posted today, underwent minor design changes. Other unposted characters got a major rehaul, and with them storyline alterations. In short, this story will now be populated by original characters.
Why?
I talked a little about it before on my twitter, but I got burnt out on MCYT content. I love the community and the people I've met in the fandom but I'd lost interest in most of the CCs and their stories by Doomsday, and by then had only been watching Techno's streams anyway. He was the reason I got back into MCYT with his Skywars videos. When he left, it made sense that I would too.
But I had a whole story plotted out for this blog. Since I hadn't been watching other CCs/drawing heavily on their plots in the first place, as I continued to work on AMR the characters started to resemble their origins less and less. So eventually I was faced with the choice to:
keep AMR a MCYT AU and rarely post art, squirreling away the "real" AMR in drafts, or
convert all of AMR into original content and (psychologically) give myself total creative freedom, but risk losing my audience.
The choice was clear, so I decided I should do what I want.
What about content already posted on this blog? Is it still canon?
A lot of characterization and plot stayed the same through the transition, especially regarding posted content. Think of it like a beta version of the story.
Now what?
I guess introductions are in order for my new(ish) characters. You've already seen Loume by this point, but I'll post new characters as I finish up their designs.
Whether you choose to stick around is up to you. Thank you for everything, and I hope you enjoy the story.
what is the inspo for your au? like clothes, armor, and maybe even systems(exemple: church system, kingdom, quest, etc)!
ofc, only say what you can say! i dont want to force you to say anything you dont want to share.
for a while i got really into drawing knights and dragons. unfortunately i haven't drawn any dragons in this au. until now.
i started drawing phil, techno, tapl, and will in various medieval fantasy-themed clothes/scenarios. for a long time i designed/worldbuilt around scenes that i thought would look super cool in my head, because i wanted this to be a fun, not-so-serious project. these are some of the earliest drawings i have of this au! you can see that phil hasn’t changed much, while the others changed a lot.
i was inspired by a lot of other incredible mcyt artists' work, especially their design work. i wanted to see where i could push my designs in ways towards and against aspects i saw in others' designs. i take a lot of inspiration for clothing and weaponry from medieval clothing from around the 14th century, but also the renaissance, because. well.
there's a lot of other sources i drew inspiration from, like minecraft mechanics, music i was listening to, story archetypes from wherever else, probably beowulf at some point.
