FINALIZED CONCEPT FOR THE MEANIE TV! Had fun with this one!
NAME: LT-2; Paralipsis
NICKNAMES: The Bastard in Chief, Murder Machine, Parasshole, The boss man (Mr. Biggs), Satan TV (Tremolo), Para 2
ALLIANCE CLASS: TV Man; Just shy a few inches to be classified as a large TV man
WORK CLASS: Special Unit Attack Force (formerly); Supervisor of Outpost 51
GENDER: He/Him
CLASSIFICATION: Unknown (anomalous activation and no clue where or how the AI developed)
RANK: Supervisor of Outpost 51
Paralipsis is the eternally pissed off supervisor of Outpost 51 and is known for being rather insufferable. A micromanaging tyrant who will intentionally cause misery for others, he is known to be a mean-spirited sort when he isn't just holing up in his office binge watching soap operas.
Once a vicious alliance fighter, he was put into the supervisor position to take him away from the battlefield as he was deemed a threat to himself on account of his concerning fits and extremely self-destructive tendencies. He has taken the "promotion" with a lot of spite and content to do the shittiest job he can and make it everyone's problem that he hates his job.
MORE LORE UNDER THE CUT <3
Paralipsis picked his name out of irritation of TV men always talking about him without directly mentioning him. He is more polite to his fellow TV Men, but he still is a passive aggressive hostility as he hates being "studied" and treated as something strange to figure out.
He was meant to be the second large TV man but given he activated pre-maturely before he was finished, engineers had to rush to get his body completed so he is just short of the large TV man designation. He still kept the designation LT-2 on record.
What Paralipsis's AI is is a mystery as unlike other AIs, there was no training as he awoke with complete memories like he had been in the war for a long while....and seems to have knowledge of top secret information that should only be known by a few. Yet at the same time, he has no habits of human transferred minds indicating some ghost in the system. He is a strange anomaly among TV man.
Whatever program that is in him seems to be fixated on being "useful" and when this is not achieved, can lead to intense depressive moods that increase risk of "episodes". Around other TV Men, he is a touch more polite, but also has higher rates of "episodes".
He is known to be extremely mean to others, either outright, or in just a rather pensive silence. Paralipsis intentionally pushes people away and keeps them away as he doesn't want people to miss him or want him around. Mostly due to self-destructive tendencies.
Paralipsis is a danger to himself, especially during "Episodes" which are usually preluded by bouts of twitching, shaking, more aggressive behavior and insults before seizing up.
Stage one of Episodes starts with him flashing the image of a broken screen while starting to exhibit behavior like he is incredible pain, discharging, and going into a state that seems like he is suffering from severe critical wounds as his systems start to seize up. It is best to calm him during this state before he hits stage two.
Stage two of an episode the screen will take on a glowing core looking design and start to ramble on incoherently or rambling about needing to be "fixed" that he isn't "correct" and something is "wrong". In this state, he is fixated on "escaping" his form, attempting to usually stab his screen or some other self-harm behavior. At this point, a controlled shock to offline him temporarily is favored unless professional can de-escalate this heightened state of mania.
Paralipsis does not talk about what goes on during episodes, brushing it off and set on just trying to control them. It is noted that these episodes do not occur when within sight of the Titan TV man, however he gets somewhat catatonic. It has been agreed to keep the two apart due to these strangely zoned out reactions.
Paralipsis has four arms, but he actually rarely extends out all four out of some sort of spite that makes sense to him and by his own take, he hates them, thus keeps them folded up. However when push comes to shove, he will extend them. During episodes, the arms will engage and often act erratically. When spooked or needing to act quickly, will extend arms as well, but often rips up his jacket and gets pissed off needing to get a new one.
He actively pushes away help from others and dodges around topics, usually insulting or turning the conversation back on the person, making it clear he does not want help. Or does. He tends to have very conflicting feelings about everything. There seems to be a want for companionship, but also a general distrust of the intentions of others that is very hard to get passed.
Despite his piss poor attitude, utter lack of work ethic when he doesn't want to do tasks, his inability to take orders from higher-ups, and general inclination towards causing trouble for others, during times of crisis, Paralipsis will help others in the alliance, often putting himself at great risk to do so.
He's the second strongest of the group after Mr. Biggs, but is the most proficient fighter of the group when it comes to close quarters and stealth.
Paralipsis is very fond of his soap operas and will binge watch them for hours and ignore the world. He also has a TV in his room to use for "therapy" to help calm his moods and try to help stabilize whatever triggers there are for his episodes and general depression.
Incident -015: The Ghost Event (Log of event)
The Ghost Event took place upon the Titan TV Man's return to base after suffering critical injuries from the knife through his screen by the possessed Titan Speakerman. The Titan had suffered damage to critical functions and engineers had moved quickly to stabilize and calm the enraged Titan to keep damage to base structure to minimum.
However, once the cortex and core were hooked up to main systems, a massive surge was detected, shorting out systems in the TV man base. At the same time as this surge, incomplete units in the process of being built activated, leading to what those present described as something out of a horror movie. Incomplete unites began to attempt to move, babbling incoherently, although all but LT-2 shorted out, their cortex's exploding and melting down.
LT-2 was disconnected by the system before reaching this point, going offline before regaining consciousness. LT-2 was taken to interrogation to assess unit. Unit appeared to have memories and knowledge not expected for a newly awakened unit, able to correctly identify TV man staff and even facts about them that it should not have known.
At first Unit was forthcoming with answers, but quickly became more sullen, withdrawn, and disagreeable, leading to it becoming far more agitated about the questions and refusing to answer further. Unit took on the name Paralipsis and at times exhibits fits similiar to that of what happened at its awakening.
LT-2 is effective in battle, but has no regard for its own safety and due to the research into neuroengineering the unit presents and the general concern of engineers for the well-being of the unit, LT-2 is to be kept away from conflict until EMCs can confirm the mind has stabilized. Current theory is that the Titan TV Man's high level of agitation and distress as it edged to critical failure caused a subconscious response that activated the units. The how and why remains unknown as no repeat incident has been recorded.
hi I wanna say something important to this fandom : UNDERTAKER IS CUTE *^*
That is an important piece of info! I mean, just look at this goofy, adorable old man. So he misbehaves sometimes and raises the dead and gets a lot of innocent people killed, but we all have those days don’t we?
I’ll pass it along, anon! Thank you and I hope you have a great day!
The Steam store page for my upcoming yaoi visual novel, All Scars and Starlight, is now live!
It's a grim little story about a deposed king being imprisoned by, and falling for, his captor (who just so happens to be his cousin). There are choices and multiple endings, plus a bunch of political drama and Suffering.
This is also an r18 VN, so there are several uncensored sex scenes. The story also deals with discomforting topics like suicide and sexual assault, though all of the sex scenes depicted in this story are consensual.
You can wishlist the VN on Steam here, if interested!
Note: it is marked as adult only, so it isn't available in certain countries, like Germany.
Yes, I'm working on another VN about my favourite gay cousins, Yuel and Tavi, who you might know from the Hit VNs (citation needed) Unluckily in Love and All Idleness and Ephemera.
Why am I writing more about them?
Because I adore They ;w;
also i've been slammed with freelance work lately and i want to play around with cute and self-indulgent projects in my downtime to relax sksksksk
Anyway!!!
This VN is called To Have and to Hold. It's a modern day AU, but it's set in a separate universe to Unluckily in Love. Yuel and Tavi are a both older in this one (Yuel's 28, while Tavi's 32) and Yuel's more exhausted.
It's a bit more... muted, I think, than Unluckily in Love, but it's not melancholy. It still has a happy ending, it's just a little more understated.
I know I've mentioned this VN on my Tumblr before, but it's coming together now. I have all of the backgrounds and the CGs have all been sketched out, even if they aren't all done.
Now it's mostly just a matter of me coding everything together in Ren'py and proofreading it!
I'll be poking around at this whenever I have some spare time, and since it's a short project I'll probably release it for free.
I'm not sure when it'll be finished, but I don't think it should take too long. I don't have that much left to do on it.
At the very least, I think it'll be out before the end of the year!
Merry Christmas! I hope you all have a pleasant holiday season!
Sharing a very cute piece of a suitably festive Yuel I commissioned from Whitepea0c0h on Twitter/Skeb! I hope he brings you joy! ✩彡
And, for those of you who are unaware, Yuel is the main character of my rather grim BxG VN, All Ashes and Illusions, and the slightly less grim BL VN Unluckily in Love. He would never wear an outfit like this (willingly), but I think it suits him!
Writing a post to let you know that my newest VN, All Ashes and Illusions, has been released!
Ashes is a BxG VN about a young prince who falls obsessively in love with his childhood nursemaid, Safiya. It's a very grim 'romance' story (without much in the way of romance), which features content some people might find discomforting, such as: a relationship with a 20 year age difference, dub/noncon, written depictions of violence, coarse language, and a lot of casual misogyny.
Ashes is quite a painful read, but it's one of my favourite stories I've written to date, and I'm very fond of the characters.
You can check it out on Steam here, or on Itch.io here.
If you want to install the r18 patch, which adds a few extra lewd scenes, you can download it from Steam, or else follow the link on Itch.io, if you can't download r18 content on Steam for whatever reason (such as living in Germany).
I hope you enjoy Ashes, if you do choose to check it out - or find it interesting, at the very least.
Also, if you do buy the story on Steam, please consider leaving a review. Steam reviews are very helpful for boosting visibility, especially in the first week of release. More reviews generally = more eyeballs on the VN, and more potential sales, so it would be very helpful! <3
Thought I’d share a piece of my two best boys I commissioned a little while back. Yuel and Tavi are very cute and I love them a lot!
If people don’t wind up shipping these characters together after reading Ashes, then I clearly haven’t done my job properly u_u
