Pluey posting when it's actually a Thursday on my end, and I got something a lil special for such; Pluey animated!!!

As an extra bit of indulgence, it's the critter as they appear in my main AU DeltaRoads (was only a matter of time til I did some AU Plues for Purrsday; I'm the AU guy afterall /silly).

So, I've had such a vivid idea for an arc centric animatic using Jake Neutron's Glued To Your Screen as the song, and this simple animation is how I see a segment of the intro playing out (albeit not as colorful as here cause animatic; but I wanted to be extra since it's just an isolated bit)

One day, I'll have the time + motivation to make the whole thing real. The song is a big player into how I've developed a lot regarding bits of the AU... might even be added to the AU playlist because of such 🕺

Individual frames will be below the cut if anyone would like to view em by their lonesome 🐈‍⬛️

Fun fact for those who checked this out: The noise effect on Pluey is intentional, and is tied to how anyone under a contract with Tenna has a staticy look to them, with the eyes being the most noticeable part to spot this (eyes on the TV n all, that's my reasoning for this detail). The stronger the noise effect, the more 'control' is involved in the deal (Pluey + the other Mikes are on the stronger end with this)

Been going apeshit rabid developing both DeltaRoads and Umbraswap behind the scenes (the brainworms yearn for these AUs rn), so did the most logical thing someone in my position could do: fuel both fires by drawing both AUs Tennas interacting. I feel like they'd get along if given the time to stew in each other's presence. Perchance multiversal CRT buddies... they even have shadow motifs in some way!!! So something in common there atleast (besides being alternate variants of the same guy)

Also, I just needed to entertain the idea of a fusion between the two because of course I gotta.. (it can happen thanks to Delta Roads' worldbuilding too... sniling sneetly)

Maybe they'd have a name like Shadow Showstopper or some shit. Idk... (not even required, I just like thinking of funny lil names for the fusions that capture the overall vibes in some way)

Would DeltaRoad Tenna be scared of anime? What's his opinion on anime and "owo" (said outloud)

If he ever encountered an anime character hypothetically-- would bro cringe?

I don't think he'd be scared of it overall (Anime is amongst the countless things that make up entertainment, and why would you be afraid of a part of what you embody as an entity), but there would probably be some elements of it that can get a reaction from him. Such as if it hits too close to home in an uncomfortable way. So he probably has an opinion that leans more towards intrigue and joy than anything else (he is a very curious bug if Imma be fully honest).

As for someone going "owo", Tenna wouldn't have much of a reaction. Maybe a subtle movement of his antennae and a small head tilt. Nothing too grand in the way of a reaction. If he met an anime character though, he probably wouldn't cringe. But instead treat them in a similar way he would to any visitor of his domain: With a warm smile and a joyous show host vibe. Though you could get a different reaction depending on what anime character you threw at him (e.g. you could get him to act more tense (he'd try to hide it, but his body language and antennae bulbs would betray him) if you found someone that reminded him too much of Epiardo; the pair do not have the best dynamic afterall). Idk any specific anime character I could mention as an example of such since I don't really watch it...

Ough, pondering AU shit, and wanted to let y'all here know of a future plan I got for DeltaRoads

Because of how insane the story arcs are (with how much story bits will be in each), I'm gonna be making mini masterposts for stuff pertaining to them. So for example, the story arc that is centered around Wondertainment Isle (Tenna's home base) will have one!

There will be a synopsis for each arc + some art for the post. Though these arc masterposts will be linked on the AU's masterpost too.

It may take a while to make them all, but wanted to mention this for those who may be curious. Non zero chance I get them all done at a similar time and mini spam them all in a day

Heeh, been tryna figure out story beats in the DeltaRoads arc that acts as the AU's version of Deltarune Chapter 3 (gotta think of a name for this plot point eventually), and have some paper doodles regarding it (new guy + random drops of story stuff out of context)

2 of the critters featured are fanmade Cassette Beasts monster evos that are basically AU exclusive (SphynxRT evolves from Kittelly, and is this AU's equivalent to Sphynx Tenna from the first board; the other critter I won't comment much on for now)

Also, the plot be plotting (finally)!!!! Still have some kinks I need to iron out with the story, but these doodles are a treat for such achievement behind the scenes :D

bit of a funkier post, but wanted to do a small announcement that i've made a playlist regarding DeltaRoads. there's a mix of music I think fit the story in certain ways and specific bits of the OSTs from each game the AU is based on (Deltarune and Cassette Beasts) that I loop to get me into the AU headspace

DeltaRoads AU Vibes

Music I listen to when I wanna get into the headspace to do specific AU works. Songs may either be from the two games that the AU draws insp

if anyone has suggestions for songs they think could fit the AU, i'm more than open to suggestions (either through an ask or a comment on this post)

Heeh, Happy New Year y'all 🎉🎉🎉 First post of 2026!

Thought it would be fun to do a drawing of the whole main cast of DeltaRoads as a nice introduction to the new year (yep, including one I am only showing now). And what other way than a fun lil running chain of sorts!

gosh I am excited for the AU related plans i have that i wanna share, and especially with properly elaborating on various character stuff (like the cast here and how they play a role in the bigger picture). hope y'all have been enjoying the journey thus far with it, as i plan to keep going with it as best as I can. art, lore drops, and various other happenings are in my plans for DeltaRoads as a whole. this AU is like a passion project i've been losing my mind over and I am so excited to show off what I've come up with!!!

[Close ups on the characters will be below the cut heeh]

Brush Week 2025 Day 1 - Cosmic

Heeh, deciding to partake in Brush Week because the prompts sounded like fun to join in on. Vee will be my character of focus for this, so look forward to seeing them in many a coats of different paint!

Today's brush is the Cosmic Brush, and I thought it would be fun if I used this as a way to try finalize a look for Vee in nakakabaliw's DeltaNova AU.

The more monochrome pink version is the canon look for Vee in Deltanova, but the more brush accurate colours is an alt I thought would be fun to make teehee.

that weird thing on Vee's arm is supposed to be their weapon, which is a wrist crossbow, though it remains folded like that when not in combat teehee (thought it would be cool to base em on an archer of sorts!! space archer go brr)
