As someone who has a whole “designing elements as humanoid” storyline thing and seeing you’re making silicon and oxygen kiss essentially is super cool because I also think they are kissing. That high affinity is NOT just chemical

YOU GET IT! A lot of ppl ship carbon and oxygen, but the affinity between si and o is higher, like they literally form the structure of the earth’s crust, literal backbone of the earth itself, that relationship has gotta be crazy rock solid 😤

Id obsess over watching vids about durable quartz is and reactions and info (lore) between them, like one major reason silicon based life forms are not possible is the affinity is too high, like the bond between carbon and oxygen is flexible so like metabolic processes can happen, but not enough between silicon and oxygen

I’m def gonna keep posting more of them, unfortunately (or fortunately) silicon is my top horrible hyperfixated guy blorbo and oxygen one of my top faves, and together their dynamic is so fun! Silly sexy hot guy is absolute mess for the repressed incel nerd who is also pathetic as hell is peak

I should rlly draw them more together but drawing ppl interact is hard

[periodicallyminty]

gonna post the refs of my blorbos (also so ppl can have an idea of them!)

*squeezes him so hard he nearly pops* I love him

[periodicallyminty]

Old art of oxygen and silicon w/ oxygen’s old design

Their relationship is really interesting; I should draw them more together but I find drawing people interacting physically hard QaQ

WIP(s) Intro: Liber Elementa

the long awaited post

Liber Elementa is the name of my future show(hopefully!) and its universe of stories based on the Periodic Table of Elements.

It revolves around a group of immortal young adults who each represent an element of the periodic table. Each and every element possesses a lively and layered personality which fuels each of their stories as they wrestle to reconcile their element with their humanity. (I really love each and everyone of these dweebs :)) Tentatively, the final goal is to produce a show where various stories are told over multiple episodes revolving around different characters(hopefully it’s not confusing though!!!).

Though I find it hard to pin down an age range as there are so many different personalities abound, it is definitely more mature and recommended for older teens and up for safe measure, though some of it is tame enough for teens, it just depends on what characters you are dealing with. The themes are treated maturely and in depth dealing with death, morality, immortality, love, and identity among many others. As genres, it can fit under action, slice-of-life, drama, romance ;), comedy(bc it can’t be all deep and gritty yo) and historical at times. But what mostly determines the feel of a story is the characters that comprise it. 

So let’s introduce the pilot and other stories below.

Liber Elementa Pilot:

This is the first episode of the show and most likely a test run of what the show will look like. Eventually, I desire for it to be animated with voice acting and music and all that fun jazz. 

It is written in script form to make transfer onto the screen easier.

Right now, I’m writing a new script from scratch. Liber Elementa is actually a couple of years old and as its grown, it’s gone through many forms and it continues to evolve. Thus there are actually a few, 3 to be precise, iterations of the 1st episode script that are outdated and lacking direction. I’ve decided to reboot the original first story premise with lots of scrapping of old ideas and reconstructing, in certain cases, characters. As I’ve grown as a writer, it makes me proud to see how far I’ve come, but it also necessitates this new re-haul.

So here’s the actual exciting part: what it’s about.

It revolves two groups of characters: one is the “DNA squad” comprising of Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Phosphorus and Nitrogen. The other is Silicon and his “employees” Tin and Indium who work of Silex Corp.

It takes the place in the modern era as they face the consequences of their pasts and the decisions they must make in the ever-changing times. I haven’t quite figured out everything yet, but Silicon has a very important role as we are in the information age.

It’s more lighthearted and full of found family, antics and bad puns.

Hopefully, I’ll post someday profiles for them :3

Other works:

The Earth and the Sun

A separate post will be made in depth about The Earth and the Sun, but it’s a little idea that grew into a full blown story that I’ve been writing to try out my story skills.

Status: First draft (20,000 words so far)

Synopsis: Some names are famously embedded in the human psyche, yet Tellurium, obscure and seemingly forgettable, wishes to hide in obscurity. But when instead he finds himself entangled with the affluent and arrogant Gold, he is forced to question the reality he believes in and the buried past that fosters it.

Ambition

Status: First draft (1,500 words so far)

Synopsis: Edvard Jordsten’s short life has not added up to much so far, but he believes he’s destined for greatness. After a bout of fatal winter illness, he finds himself thrust into the strange world of the elements and assuming the name of the recently discovered element silicon. It turns out finding his place in the world is harder than he thought, but he’s not going to let that stop him.

Liber Elementa Inversion

That werid crazy AU for experimenting. It’s not really canon in any sense, but it’s basically the premise of the DNA squad being the headline good guys turned on its head. Instead, it’s a world where they strike the death and fear in the hearts of the elements in a dark post-apocalyptic atmosphere. Ah yes, smell that good angst?

Short stories:

The Executioner(Completed)

Summary: It is an executioner’s job to put others to death and today is no exception.

Burnt Cookies(Completed)

Summary: When the battle is over and won, finding your footing again is difficult, especially when the world cannot let yourself forgive and forget the sins you’ve committed.

~~~

Well, by no means is this list complete! There are plenty of story arc ideas that I haven’t written out solid substance and many WIPs I’ve put off to the side during the busy year I’ve had. This is most likely my working master post where I’ll eventually link WIPs and add and subtract as things come and go in my immediate radar.

For tags, all things Liber Elementa(aka under this post) will be tagged #liber elementa and #LE. The pilot will be tagged the same with “pilot” attached.

Any OCs mentioned in the post be #oc: *character name here*

For individual WIPs, they will be tagged with lowercase names and properly capitalized abbreviations, for example The Earth and the Sun posts will be tagged with #the earth and the sun and #TEatS

Thank you for reading!

Next is most likely going to be introducing The Earth and the Sun and its main cast. :D
