so in performance art verse this is how the bb gun piece goes: shane is standing in a circle, a ring of tape on the floor, by himself. a little spotlight over him. ilya is standing a few hundred feet away in his own taped out circle but no spotlight. ilya is wearing just regular clothes. jeans a tshirt but he's barefoot. shane is wearing a long sleeve denim mechanic's style jumpsuit. but his cock is hanging out soft. and basically ilya shoots him with bbs and as he does shane's cock grows hard and drippy but he stands still under the spotlight face neutral despite pain and desire. ilya keeps shooting him until shane cums hands free.
then a few years later they revisit the piece but this time shane is wearing a cock cage. everything else stays the same.
Pointe!verse concept sketches and general blather ,,
What is Pointe!verse ?
Pointe!Verse is my personal Undertale Multiverse centered around Performance Art and Ballet , all the characters are some sort of artist or performer and they all play out their respective roles . It’s primarily focused on Error and Ink , but it’s not quite Errorink , I don’t know how to explain it
⚠️ Everyone’s roles here are fairly canon-divergent . I know not every character is completely within their canon here because I just don’t care ! For the sake of interpretation , please let them be a little funky .. oh yeah ! A lot of this art is somewhat old as of posting this , designs vary ..
“ All the world’s a stage . ” - William Shakespeare
Ink!
Ink is a Ballerina , along with the other two ‘Star Sanses’, among other things .. He’s a professional who excels at the technique and skills required to perform ballet , visual arts , musical and otherwise , but is often shown to lack the emotional involvement that truly makes the performance impactful .
His outfit is entirely pearlescent white , a leotard with a big bow attached in the back . The tails of the bow are exceedingly long , rounding off at the ends in what could be seen as a replacement for his scarf ( because it’s fun to draw , eugh ) he has a translucent purple veil over his face , matching the top of his leotard . This was gifted to him by Error to “Cover that terrifying void within .” IT HAS A PEARL STRAP , ITS JUST NOT IN THESE DRAWINGS ,, :[
Ink is the only character in the verse to go en pointe with no pointe shoes . This is because he can’t feel pain and also really hates shoes . .
In dimmer lighting , the pearlescent white of the outfit shimmers a rainbow hue . Ink’s soullessness works a bit differently in this au , but for brevity , he doesn’t need to carry around vials and he gets his life force from the actual performances themselves ,,
ERROR.
The Error in Pointe!Verse is a puppeteer , similar to how he is in canon , but his puppet work is more centered around ball-jointed dolls instead of . Sssock puppets -??? I don’t know what to call those things from canon .. He HATES performance art and generally serves to both steal and ruin the shows of others !! He’s like a cartoon villain where he’s overtly silly but also deeply menacing at times . I’m hoping to go into his motives later on , but for now , I’ll leave that vague .
I kept his outfit primarily a dark blue ( in place of black ) to echo his original design , but instead of choosing a blue as his secondary color , I chose red because it’s a color that symbolizes passion and determination , which he has a lot of both - I gave him a silly little mask as a nod to his past as Geno , and a hat because he looked bald without it . YES he’s wearing high heeled boots because he’s an icon ! He also fully embraces his role as a chaotic villain and got a cape just to play into it - he’s trying to hard but also not hard enough at the same time ..
I have drawings for some of the other characters - but right now , I don’t have a lot of them completely figured out . They’re not the main focus anyways , mostly support characters and plot points - like in a play , y’know !
But . For now , I should probably explain what Pointe!Verse actually . Is .
IMAGINE THE MULTIVERSE AS A PERFORMANCE ON A STAGE !! Everything has its own piece , its own music , its own dance , its own story . However ! Princess Tutu style , everyone goes to this art school , art college , performance art central , whatever !! And everything is kind of funky inside and out of the auditorium !
People can interact outside of performances completely differently to how they behave on stage , but most cases their performances reflect their relationships with one another . Not everything is extremely literal here !!! Stuff ends up being a lot more metaphorical !! Uhmmm ..
Yeah !!! So , follow my PointeVerse tag if you want ,, I do things sometimes !
someone reblogged performance art au and it reminded me of an idea i've had for one of their pieces. basically ilya would livestream himself dumpster/trash diving for food and bring it back to the studio. inside the studio there is a folding table with nothing but a blender and a glass on it. shane is tied to a chair next to it. ilya blends the trash food up. he pours it in the glass and holds it up to shane's mouth forces him to drink it. it's a gross green brown color and it drips out the corners of his mouth all over his face and shirt.
wait wait wait. Is pointeverse a multiverse where people do ballet??????
why haven’t I heard of this before????? This is AWESOME????
can you do a quick exposé on the lore? I wanna learn more (if you want and if it’s ok ofc)
HI !! Yes !!
PointeVerse is a multiverse where all the different au characters participate in a bunch of different performance art !!! There’s ballet , musicals , there’s a jester ! (fresh) basically any form of art you’d typically rent out a stage for , this multiverse uses !
I’m currently making a master post for the concepts I have down for different characters and their roles in this world , the draft has been sitting in wait for a while now ,, but !! I haven’t really gotten into the lore yet , so !! You’re in luck , my friend , I haven’t SO much to ramble about within PointeVerse ,,
OKAY . So . All the world’s a stage , right ? And all the men and women , merely players —
Something something , William Shakespeare ..
So , imagine the entire multiverse as a performance art center - there’s many different stages , many different performances ! It’s all the different aus , playing out like shows - musicals , songs , dances , ensembles , anything for the audience - who are our creators , fellow fans , etc.
Stages are set with props , there’s themes , stories to tell , different stages to suit different needs - the usual ! And there’s also the characters that don’t have set stages , who also have roles to play ! Such as Ink and Error , two performers without a reservation , without a stage , without a proper story to fill out -
A lot of the actual story elements can get very metaphorical and artistic , which is the point(e) ! PointeVerse is meant to be centered around artistic expression and favor the emotional value over logic at times -
over all , there’s not a definitive story for me to tell .. but multiple I wish to express through a different light ! Something a bit more poetic , maybe a smidgen more melancholic or perhaps even humorous .
I don’t have a lot of the smaller stories planned out , but I have a lot planned for specifically Error and Ink , because I enjoy their different dynamics in every multiverse , and especially within PointeVerse where their entire relationship is a bit complicated - think like . Fakir and Mytho from Princess Tutu , but also Fakir acts more like Drosselmeyer and Mytho never gets his heart back -
PRINCESS TUTU ACTUALLY HAS A LOT OF INFLUENCE IN POINTEVERSE .. along with movies like The Little Prince and games like The Blind Prince and The Liar Princess and things of those nature — I definitely have a lot more to say regarding the multiverse which I will speak about later on , probably with more art that I have made for PointeVerse and it’s characters - but !! For now ? PointeVerse coming soon >:)
thought up a whole art school universe on my drive home from the airport where shane is a crazy performance artist (doing stuff like wafaa bilal, chris burden, marina abramovic) and ilya is his art partner and they do a performance piece where ilya shoots shane all over with a bb gun
