Omg!! Oh what a fantastic surprise, thanks so much Mossy I absolutely adore it!! 🥺🥺 Him big silly blue eye. dodge ball sfx

Giving me a great excuse to debut this guy on Tumblr dot com as well! Lore dump beneath the cut

Might ditch the lab coat, haven't decided yet

Barney is a story character and serves as a foil to Angelus. He's a good-natured scientist (not sure which kind yet) with an interest in Flatland, but, unlike Angelus, is very professional and by-the-books and believes that regulation is necessary to keep things ethical. He very much doesn't agree with Angelus's decision to throw out the rule book and kidnap a Flatlander.

More importantly, though, he witnesses what the relationship between the two has become and sees it for the unethical disaster that it is. He comes along right as Angelus is entering the low point of his arc (Angelus wants to be the Flatland guy, but if Atticus is able to speak for himself, there is no need for him. So he stifles Atticus's growth on purpose to keep him reliant) and offers Atticus a way out. Unfortunately, Atticus is far too attached.

I haven't really figured out what happens next, but Barney is very much an ellipsoid for a reason — Angelus was not born a sphere! His parents were ellipsoid and he was, too, but managed to get "corrected" at a young age. I'm thinking it could be fun for Angelus to show some bigotry of his own, just to really hammer in that Angelus is not all that far removed from constructs of hierarchy as the Flatlanders he studies.

Anywhoozle, thanks so much again for the art, it put a big smile on my face! Everyone go check out Mossy's blog, we've been having loads of fun in the Flatland community Magma together grins

Hi there!!! I hope you’re doing well ^^ I found your art recently and I’m a huge fan, your old kaput and zosky art made me so happy I had to pause for a minute- I really love your stuff!!! I’ve been super obsessed with kaput and zosky, and I’ve seen your accounts all around the internet about them, so it’s kinda got me wondering.. what ever happened to the video essay you were planning for? Was it scrapped? Do you have any plans of releasing the information/footage from the essay itself? I know it’s been a few years since you initially started work on it, and it’s been a while since you’ve posted for the show at all xd but I’m quite curious about it! Anyways, I really appreciate everything you’ve done for the community and it means a lot to me how much effort you put into the archival/wiki especially. Thank you so much for your time, I hope you have a wonderful day :D

Here’s a little zosky doodle for your travels

Hi there!! First of all THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH A LOVELY MESSAGE waughh you've totally made my day!! 🥺🫶 Always love meeting another fan, and I'm so so touched to hear you enjoy my work! Secondly, I'm very glad you asked this, because it's something I've been thinking about lately. My explanation may be a little complicated, but the short version is that yes, it is still in the works!

The long answer is that progress was going very steady up until February 2023 when my mother passed away, which I believe was also when my K&Z posting slowed down. There's a long story within a long story there, but the gist of it is that I've been in a very bad place ever since then. I can't be sure exactly why the event made me drift from K&Z, but I suspect it was because my mom was so looking forward to seeing my video, and the thought that she never would, well...it really messed with me.

With that being said, I'm handling my grief a lot better these days. While things are still in a state of major uncertainty for a whole host of other reasons, I think I've mostly come to terms with that flavor of discontent. I see the project sitting unfinished in my files and I think about how close I am to being done with it, and I know she'd want me to do it. I want to do it, too! I worked very hard!

I began working on it again for the first time in like two years about two weeks ago. Over an hour of content was already fully edited and ready, it's just my last addendum that I need to work on. I'm hitting another problem now, and that is that a lot of my sources have vanished since I wrote the script, so, frustratingly enough, all I can really offer is a "trust me, bro" for quite a few points! But I think the big ones should still be there.

If anyone takes anything from this, I want it to be that you shouldn't wait to finish things, because you won't be the same person you were when you began. Nonetheless, again, it's only that last part, which I suspect shouldn't be more than likeee...ten minutes long? A drop in the bucket compared to the rest, for sure. Unfortunately it's also the most exciting part x'D Oh well, I'll figure it out!

I do still love K&Z, and I know I always will. I have a lot of requests saved up involving them, and I'd love to draw them when I'm in a better place. When I get depressed, I get art block, so only my biggest hyperfixations manage to barge past every now and again, which is why I've been so inactive in general. Nonetheless, I do check back here every day, so I'm always happy to answer any questions!

I'm gonna have a lot of free-time in April, so I'll try to get some more work on it done then for sure. Hopefully I'll be in a much better place as a whole come summertime. Thank you for the support, it really does make me feel excited for it again!

And AHHH thank you so much for the lovely Zöskies!! Such a beautiful style you have, he is wonderfully expressive! It feels so, so good to see him again <3

Have a lovely day, thanks for the much-needed smile! 💖

Could you show more yungbill stuff please? I just like how it's look in your style

Thanks, anon! My iTunes shuffled to this song while I was biking and I thought it was perfect for them lol. Hope you like!

Changed a few lyrics of course. I WISH the song actually said the singer's partner makes them watch awful LiveLeak footage, now that would be a character worth singing about

[chiiroptereh]

i wish there was a 'Follow But Again' button so i could follow you harder im seriously obsessed with your gravity falls art

(((((im the one who you offered to talk about flat dreams ith btw :>))))

Awww thank you so much!! That means a ton to me, so glad you enjoy 🥺🥺

Also hello again! When I finished that fic I had to physically get up and go for a night drive and lived life in a hollow stupor for the next three days. Pain agony. I didn't think it was possible for me to actually feel bad for the bastard triangle

RIP Liam he just like me fr

It's maybe dump buuut any changes on Venuses approach towards Bill after a night-whimper story time?

(Context just in case, I'm a month late lololol)

Not at all, anon! I really like this question actually, and the reason it took me so long to answer is cause I really had to think about it, but I think I've got a good one for ya now.

Some complementary snuggles for ya, possibly a continuation of the last piece? Up to you! Answer's under the cut since it ended up being pretty long.

So, Bill is a pretty inherently childish character. He just wants to break rules and do whatever the hell he wants with no regard for anyone else because he can. Venuz lives with a pretty normal kid (Yung Cuz), and I like to imagine that he raised him himself, so Venuz knows how kids act. I think that Bill dropping his mask and revealing that, essentially, when things went to shit he stuck his fingers in his ears and went "la-la-la" instead of dealing with it like an adult showcased that immaturity of his, and Venuz recognized it.

Now, Venuz's feelings in regards to this depend on your headcanons of his character. Personally I bounce around two different ones: the Nuclear Throne interpretation and the Gun Godz interpretation.*

In NT he's just what we would think of when we think of a god; he's immortal, he's all-powerful, he's always been around and has always been a god. In this case, he can afford to be a careless and trusting guy because he can solve any problem with a thought. This Venuz immediately takes what Bill says at face value and lemme tell ya if he wasn't in love with the guy before this tragic side of him sure did it. Venuz likes when his gold chains are squeaky-clean, not his lovers; I think he adores that Bill's a terrifying disaster. (Not that he doesn't want to help of course; I'm sure the morning after was breakfast in bed and excessive cuddles and kisses)

In GG, Venuz is still a god, but he wasn't always. (I think I unconsciously took a lot of this from this awesome fic so credit where it's due lol) The planet runs on a system where Gun God is a title taken by force, i.e., to become the Gun God you need to kill the Gun God. He has been through the grinder and though he's mellowed out quite a bit after becoming Gun God he has issues really and truly trusting people. This Venuz is more cautious and keeps Bill's history of being a master manipulator in mind, knowing that there is no reason at all that Bill couldn't be putting on an act. That being said, Bill is pretty much harmless as long as Venuz doesn't consciously decide to return his powers to him, so he still tries to comfort him just in case.

Both are pretty great I think, one is lower-stakes and fun while the other has room for more angst and character growth. There is a hole in the GG logic though which is that if Bill got his hands on a gun he could just kill Venuz and become the Gun God, so uh...oops? Idk, this ship is still mostly crack and good fun tbh.

*TL;DR: NT Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "shit. i love him even more now"; GG Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "ok but if he's actually telling the truth then he needs me so"

Thanks for the ask!

[chiiroptereh]

soooo, You said we could ask about immortal doritos duo head-canons. I would adore to hear it out :>

With pleasure!

Venuz's dimension was just another one that Bill wanted to take over in his never-ending quest to sow chaos. In investigating possible ways to gain a physical form in said dimension, Bill had learned about the Gun God. He knew messing with gods could be dangerous but Venuz didn't seem to be particularly wrathful nor particularly, well...smart, and so he quickly made the decision to go searching for him in hopes to manipulate him into granting him a physical form

My current idea for how they actually met is that gods can see into multiple dimensions at once, and because of that he can see Bill as if he were in the third dimension (or "real"). The act of Bill being observed in/alongside the third dimension made him "real" à la quantum mechanics. There are some holes in this logic though so idk it's not final (she said as if it matters literally at all)

YV is a total player and two of his favorite things are triangles and gold so of course he was immediately like "hey 😏" and Bill immediately recognized the opportunity there and latched onto it

Venuz had an idea of who Bill was (he has quite the reputation as the evil maniac who had taken over the Nightmare Realm) but wasn't concerned. What does a god have to worry about a demon that can only dwell in the mindscape, right?

Bill quickly won him over with his charm, mystique and creepy sense of humor and Venuz genuinely loves him but is very much aware that he really can't be trusted with any sort of power. He knows the rules and Bill is pretty much harmless as long as he's around (probably)

While Venuz is confident that he can handle Bill's insanity, Cuz is not and doesn't like Bill at all. Bill is more than aware of this and finds it very amusing bc he's an asshole

Realistically I think Bill probably can't feel any measure of love and is just hanging around 'cause he's having fun but I also fully support the I Can Fix Him interpretation. Whichever you prefer!

How did Kaput and Zösky confessed their feelings for each other and who confessed first?

Always figured that if they got together it'd just be like. day 293 of space road-trip:
