THE SILLY CANT BE CONTAINED

Zark, you have to stop. your neurodivergence too tough. your spectrum too different. your whimsy too bad. they'll kill you Zark :

TLDR : i made an au of the au. this ain't lore important, clearly, just me being silly

HEAR ME OUT !!!

i love sm

i love rdr2 i love slime rancher i love my au

WHY NOT FUSE THEM ALL ??? (yes i am in fact losing my mind, thanks for asking)

the designs aren't perfect i know (and its not everyone) BUT i love them anyway and i've been doodling them all like crazy on my school notebooks 😭😭

they're so silly i could blow up !!

uhh--yeah i don't feel like explaining much LMAO but basically i imagine after they died they ended up in the spooky ranchers universe!

they remember everything till the point they died

so, for example, Arthur doesn't know that John killed Bill and got Javier hanged

Kieran doesn't know the whole gang fell apart (my poor boy)

Javier doesn't know John got ABSOLUTELY BLASTED

etc (yes, it's high honor Arthur and the route where Javier doesn't kill Javier)

and uhh...yeah! don't take this too seriously asghjajgh im just having fun and being silly

they are not okay

silly goobers

i hc that Charlies died much later of old age, so for him it's been more than a couple of years since everyone else died

height chart time!

over at twitter i didn't really get to write ANYTHING soo...let's talk about this AU for a bit here! nothing important, just some thoughts and maybe some spoilers hehe (there is 100% spoilers LMAO)

this is a passion project of mine born from my WAY TOO STRONG hyperfixation on spooky month and my LOVE for slime rancher! it's been in my head since around November 2023, but only did i start REALLY thinking about it in around the middle of January 2024. i was on a family trip, it was super late at night and i was daydreaming about spooky month as i looked out the window... at some point i started to think about...what if Lila was on the far far range? then i started to plan; a new island on the far far range, a sort of market instead of the thingy (no idea what it's called) that Beatrix uses to interact with NPC's in practice it'd be very similar. you walk up to a stand (that looks according to the person and what they want) and they'd pop up all hologram-like! then bow, you talk, you sell them stuff, amazing! of course in this AU some people actually go to Lila's house, like Frank! you know that little spot behind Beatrix's place back in the game? well, there! every once in a while Frank would show up in his flying van, offering items you can buy :D some would be...less than needed (like heart beets and such) OR they could be something wonderful! like Gilded Ginger! or other illegal items shh...no one can know... anyway! then i started using milanote (which i recommend) and started figuring out the story and characters here's a screenshot! a lot of things were changed soo...take it with a grain of salt ;)

i did a lot of sketches on random bits of paper and my phone (which i won't be adding here cuz they're not needed :P) figuring out character designs, and eventually moved on to start doing the character sheets on my pc! you might've noticed, but i really thought of this first as if it was a videogame it will never be, don't get me wrong, but it started from there and THEN i started to think of it simply as a story i want to tell there's still a long way to go, but i have so many cool ideas i JUST WANNA START WORKING! i got sick recently (and still am tbh) so i'm taking a bit of a break tho.. i have a lot of ideas for the story, and am already planning out a small animatic...but again, no promises! i don't even know if i'll do everything drawn or i'll write stuff out too! i mean, i might even get bored and never touch this again LMAO i'm writing this on the 29th, so i haven't watched the new EP yet...but i imagine a lot of things will be changed once it comes out so, one last time, everything i say and do is up to change! i'm in no way a professional and this is just a side thing i'm doing while actively working and studying. i'm just a guy after all. i hope you guys like this as much as i do, and i can't WAIT to give you more information! that's it for now, i gotta do my music homework LMAO--take care everyone :)

Ross's guilt

something troubles Skid and he can't sleep...perhaps something Ross said that upset him?

he's not ready. not yet. give him time and everything will make sense.
