Because you are love.

Once again has the lens flare au saved me from my art rut lol

[baked0bread]

It's been a hot minute since I've actually seen the lens fare AU so I drew it! But my god did it make me learn how to render fur and feathers! Hella headcanon this AU's Grian just lurks in the farlands of hermitcraft, if not well fic opportunity for ya!

Credits to @krashlite the creator of the AU!

Redoing his watcher design!

lot less body horror than before + he looks more like demiurge than a sphynx (which he was meant to look like in the first place)

i do still wanna keep the like therian aspects as to how he moves in his full watcher form, but he's a lil more snakey hehe

I need to draw a diagram for how dimensional space works in LF because I’m going a little insane over the world building for it rn

Infodump to see if it makes sense before I commit to this!

So basically, one server/world is one flat plane. Plane = server/world

The Overworld/End (O/E) of a given plane are at the same location in terms of dimensional space, but the Nether (N) is an inversion of that same location.

Every plane has one Overworld/End and one Nether.

Around every plane is the void, the sky, and the farlands. These three border every plane and all three can technically be used for travel between planes.

Every Void can reach every Void

Every Sky can reach every Sky

Every Farland can each every Farland

^^^ but it has to coincide with your starting point. O/E goes to O/E and N goes to N. You can’t go into the Nether’s Void and end up in the Overworld/End of somewhere else

Likewise, you can’t get to the Void from the Sky, nor the Farlands from the Void or any other combination. V will always to to V, S to S, and F to F

So every plane technically has two V/S/F since it’s one for the Overworld/End, and one for the Nether

Keeping up? There’s more!

———————

We’ve established the Void/Sky and Farlands. The Void/Sky are two separate spaces that function the same, but the Farlands is basically uncoordinated world generation. All three are the borders to a given Plane, and usually they blend directly into a neighboring plane HOWEVER

The Void/Sky/Farland of a given plane can only stretch so far. If it doesn’t collide with another Plane, it does eventually reach a point to where it’s entirely detached from the plane of origins.

For the Void/Sky, this lack of attachment is called Closed Space. It has no code whatsoever, meaning there’s no physics, no game mode, nothing. Code can be added to this space, but it has nothing of its own

For the Farlands, this lack of attachment is called the Fractal Plane (<- might be a math term so might have to change that). It has a nearly unpredictable distortion of existing physics. Gravity might face the wrong direction in some places, water/lava flows in a chaotic pattern, redstone may work backwards, air might be replaced with barrier blocks, etc. etc.

But again! I need to draw this out because it’s wildly complicated when it’s just written down

IDK if you're still working on the lens flare au but I was wondering how you came up with the name, was it just a placeholder or did it actually have a story behind?

My memory’s foggy so I don’t have an exact answer, but!

The name has to do with the like logo thingy I use for it-

It’s literally the watcher symbol but with a lens flare! Like on cameras :]

Actual lens flares are round BUT it’s meant to look like the little starburst watcher eyes- watchers? Cameras? Eyy?? Eyyyyyy?

As for if I’m working on the au still- I am! Though I’m in the process of rewriting it so unfortunately a lot of the plot stuff I posted was scrapped (that has to do with a falling out w/ the person that was helping with the au’s storyline. I never got to the part of the story this person wrote, but feel more comfortable starting over on that front)

But what this basically means is I!! Have a lot of fun mechanics to work with w/ the world building, just gotta figure out timelines and motivations and all that good stuff

[krashlite]

Fucked up entity??? What fucked up entity that is an entire cat

[krashlite]

Gonna start posting my dumb au tiktoks here too starting with!

This one

Still need to post my watcher!grian design over here and make the actual au summary aha but enjoy

Been obsessed with this AU and had to draw it! Follow Krashlite_ on TikTok to see more of this wonderful AU!
