Star Sanses Studio AU: Puzzle pieces finally fit.
Alternative name: very long ramble of when an “AU” finally consider itself as an AU thanks to Template and Pale (also upcoming characters)
One thing I need to admit, Star Sanses Studio AU was just silly ideas that might be good for a fan fiction (which Shandy did her thing) material. I really never see it as an AU, I just called it an AU because here need a name for this thing after all😂.
Most of the draw, ideas, and dabbles are just an ideas, it not as big coherent by accident plot like 404&InkRE that I been drawn since I got into the fandom to somewhat connected Ink and Error’s timeline together.
Recently, I finally got to put one character (plus another) that I been wanting to put in any of my UTMV work but too scare of not get it justice. Finally know what character have like Pale show his emotions only when it Extreme, Core’s reason to not fire Ink and Error because what they see in their “All Seeing Eyes” and so on. This AU somewhat expand but still not really connect to each other much, it just a dabble after all. This AU just a mini side story that I write when I try to get my head out of 404&inkRE for once.
Each character have their own gimmick or personality they have, heck there is not plot or anything at all. Just young talented people work together and chaos just happen because two idiot can’t frickin communicate or have their ego too high. Their some character development through here and there but never find the way to make it happen, so I just go “well someone gonna write it eventually or no one even see it at all, why bother”.
And then I have a dream with this scene few days ago.
After long animating on the special effects, Pale’s file just crash. For the first time, Pale cry in front of someone that is not Template. Epic, who is basically his instructor to teach Pale from start but bless his fast learning ability, panic and don’t know what to do and ask Template for help. When Template got there, without any word from his mouth, Pale jump into Template and cry his soul out.
Template, who still never see Pale as a friend even how long they been stuck together AND HAVE HAPHEPHOBIA, try to calm Pale down even he about have a panic attack from the rough touch. As whole fiasco happening, Error was in the scene. Error just looking at them as they pair go to the break room to calm them down, he follow them in...
And I can’t ya more because of this scene became a snowball on the hill that causing me to go sleep less at night from idea rush of how everything can go together.
ALL THE PUZZLE PIECES ACTUALLY FITS!
The new interns character, this scene, and what happen after it. Template and Pale’s not-really-friendship tiny subplot became something that might drive the situation with Ink and Error in this AU. After long struggle of writing Ink and Error’s plot other than fighting or what happen after the “doodle sphere incident”, I actually know what going on in their surroundings that make them think so the “doodle sphere incident” can take place!! And this scene make me realize that there so many unexpected fun interaction that can entertain and grow these characters! And then everything make sense!!
I actually want to write a story about this chaotic mess that is Star Sanses Studio of how these characters interact to each other!
I finally see it as an AU now!!
This might just be me overreacting about my silly story but after this revelation happen in my head, I learn a lot. I finally want to know more about 3D animation just to write these idiots’ work right as a research, and been learn a lot of things from in. It might not be perfect when I draw it down since I don’t have a first hand experience, but I just learn other side of animation that I been avoiding to look into. Every knowledge is good knowledge, they said.
Template and Pale’s little subplot in this AU might small like it was, but effect the others’ arc more than ever. With new intern character that I will post tomorrow will spice everything up more too, even tho they come and go quite quick too. This going to be fun writing the interns arc!!
So, to my boi @unu-nunu-art ‘s Template (the OG Template),
ya want to be like Ink, right?
Guardian of the AU, the inspiration that help the creators to create.
You did it boy, YOU DID IT!
You inspire me to make me consider this silly dabbles as an AU!!
If anybody actually reading this rambling, thank you.
