I realised I started a bit too many comics recently and nobody was gonna tell me?????
Splat SAO AU
Very delayed but let’s go.
Not taking SAO’s timeline and story, just the simple concept.
VR technology is advanced enough to take people’s dreams into a whole new realm and splatoon has been developed to be compatible with the technology.
The new game goes fantastic at first, people come and go, the BETA gets fantastic reception, everyone is having fun being squids n kids until the Full Version is finally open to the public and just like in SAO we get to see the masterplan of keeping everyone inside.
A ‘social experiment’ they call it. Imagine a Tartar-like villain just trapping everyone inside.
But I suppose the game as we know it would be different. What would be the end goal? Who really knows. People would be lost, try make up their own goals.
Except nothing works.
Now not to make the whole thing entirely depressing, dying in matches is always going to happen. Let’s give them all three lives. Confused at first, since this is a new feature in the game and never seen in the previous ones, they ignore it at first. They’d just be out of the game right? Well, not entirely.
After the first day of squids not coming back to life from the respawners panic sets in, and a new announcement is published to explain how the system works.
“You have three lives a game. If you die the fourth time, you die for real.”
There would be an immediate stop to every splat match other than for people who disregard the warning. Only more perish from their stupidity.
And the week is dreary, everyone is lost, groups are being formed and brave souls set out to explore the areas until they come across the bounds of what we know as ‘Hero Mode’.
Immediately the new event triggers, and areas of Inkopolis lose power from stolen zapfish. Suddenly there are sign ups for agents, with the promise that the most successful agents will be granted the Promised Land (aka, back to the real world)
But here the world only grants one (1) life, and the hero course goes from being easy, to extremely difficult. The levels meshed with the underground test facilities, where players continuously retrieve zapfish, perform tests with specials, try to survive the treacherous levels designed for them to fail. Whether through teamwork, or alone.
There could be a ton of layers to this as well.
For example how the hero mode really requires control over the new squidkid body, prowess and stamina. And to have those well you need to be good at your weapon, and dodging. And to do that you need to use turfs wars to improve.So in tun players attempt to develop a strike system for turf/ranked so that no one dies. Though there are always hardcore players.
There could be factions/teams created specifically to cause havoc with the ideal that if they get to the top they’ll be granted freedom.
In the Kamabo facility what if the perished inklings were used for experiments? To create true horrors with brain data downloaded through the VR headset and uploaded straight into the game? Imagine the horrors.
And what if, when the players start to lose hope, where the number of dead agents to living ones is 7:3, weeks into the game, a championship is announced with the promise of the Promised Land for the winners? Imagine the uproar, the infighting.
The rest of the players who don’t want to die try to live a ‘normal’ life in inkopolis, trying to scrounge up money to live and support literal children who joined the game too. Would anarchy start? Would people fight to be in positions on power over the public? Would they form their own police force? Some way to stop murderous players from participating?
It’s up to interpretation~
Found this in my gallery
You gonna play the ketchup v mayo splatfest that's returning for a one time thing? Maybe I'll see you there!
UH YEAH DUH????
Okay but lads listen.
Don't you think this is a bit weird?
It's been a year since splatfest ended, and three years since splatoon 2 came out
And suddenly they’re bringing back the VERY FIRST OFFICIAL splatfest we’ve had? Not counting the testfire one
MY THEORY.....
Is that theyre somehow going to announce the next game with this fest
And i am HYPED
Huh, never really took you to be an hs kind of person. Learn something new everyday. How's your easter been since that was also today?
I don't post hs often other than anniversaries but I used to be highkey obssesed so you know. Karkat is best boy and you can fight me on that
My easter was good though!! I stuffed myself with chocolate for the first time in two weeks and I drew a beetle
THE SHORT STORY ARCHIVE
(at last) Every section of the archive is labelled chronologically from when the stories happen. The lower the story is ranked, the more in the present day setting it is. Unnumbered stories are random one shots.
Yes some stories are extremely old and with mistakes grammar but with the amount of them I’m not going back to edit anything so deal with it lol
Open the cut for the giant archive.
What kind of art were you specifically looking for for your zine? I work extremely hard on my artwork yet I still wasnt able to make it into your zine. In fact I've never ever been able to get into a zine. What kind of art do zines want? What am I lacking that makes me unable to get into any zine I apply to?
I-
Im sorry to hear buddy, but Ive never hosted an official zine before. Maybe you got me confused with someone else, or perhaps you mistook the BLM picture for it (and that one didn't have any entry specification, everyone who was available was allowed in. So unless I missed your message on accident, I'm not sure how you could have been locked out)
As for asking more zine related questions, I think I can answer them.
What do zines search for? Mostly examples of finished illustrations I think (lines, colour, shading, background). What are you lacking? I have no idea who you are, but I could help direct you in your art if you PM me and give you direct critique or something if you'd like!
But entering can be disheartening sometimes, yes. I've only been to four zines so far myself, and in 2 of those I'm friends/acquiantances with mods, so having connections is definitely a plus. But honestly? Ive applied to more than 15 zines at this point, and it never really got me many places either. So don't feel bad. For every 4 rejections you'll have one acceptance, but it's different for everyone!
The biggest advice I can give is to keep building your portfolio and improving your skills!
To elevate the mood from the recent comics i am accepting drawing requests!!
Pop your squid, octo or any other sploon oc into the replies or in my DMs ans they will be drawn by me! I'll try to draw them all today!!
