She be mean-muggin', kin to Anakin…
ALNST: WHAT'S NEXT, MY PREDICTIONS, MY IDEAS.
(art by me)
We know technically nothing about what will follow, except that one of our contestants is becoming the human he never got to be, and the other is completely losing the humanity that made her, her.
But, I've had this idea of a frame that we could see, and I couldn't stop myself!
I feel like there will be a break in-universe between Wiege and what is next. I mean, Luka will probably need some medical procedures done, because I cannot imagine him being able to move on without his health suffering. Which makes me even more upset, because what if Heperu will see it as "disobeying", and punish him in the way only he knows?
I see him becoming a lot more human after Wiege, as I've said. I don't think he'll really want to do what Hyuna told him: I don't even see him wanting to live after this. I've had a small idea of him trying repeatedly to commit, but being "saved" by Heperu, but again, I have no basis, so these are just assumptions. It wouldn't be far off of Vivinos' alley, that's for sure.
I'd love for him and Mizi to team up, but honestly, I'm extremely 50/50 on whether it would happen or not. I have 2 ideas: either they do team up, somehow manage to get along, which would make sense for the "mizi loses everyone she loves" trope (if Luka would simply die without her caring, it wouldn't make so much sense for him to be the only one left with her), and possibly dies in an accident (I tend to believe in the "Mizi will blow everything up" theory, according to the Patreon post from while back), or because of his illnesses, or they don't team up, Round 5 is redone, and it's Mizi's time to mock him (which im not sure if she'll have the energy for).
I am hoping for the first one though, because I want Luka shown in a good light before he isn't alive anymore.
Another theory that I had, but it's not very likely, is that they don't end up killing Luka off because let's be honest, he'd be doing worse alive than dead. Again, it probably won't happen, but I think it would be a really painful route to take, to show that the worst possible outcome, at this point, isn't even death.
The thing is, I don't think we have to worry about Luka's death too soon. I am not sure about the probability of the others coming back. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised if it happens, than be disappointed if they are truly gone. So, if they don't come back, we'd have about 4, 5 episodes with the 2 characters left, so I don't think they can afford to kill him off yet. (Considering Round 6 was approximately the half of the series, and the Vol. 1 album's number of songs, that's the amount I calculated we'd have left.)
Honestly, this is the factor that makes me doubt most of my own theories: I don't know how they would be able make any of these possibilities that long.
Which brings in the idea we might have some videos about the Actor AU, or Modern AU? I don't really believe this, but it would be interesting. Anyways, whatever they have planned for these next episodes, is going to be huge.
I really liked the structure of Wiege: openly centered on Hyuluka, but shows the other pairs multiple times (which, again, ties to my analysis of Hyuluka representing all of them, from before and from what will follow.)
I think it's more plausible we'll get flashbacks from Season 49, like Hyuna's loss and how she went past the system, or Luka's absolute win and how he reacted. Anyways, I'd love to see more of them, since they are still very mysterious (but I'd say they are more known than Sua now).
I personally want to see the exact details of Hyunwoo's death. It's been insanely hyped, in my opinion, we see clips of it both in All-In and Wiege (I'd like to add how fond I am of the fact that both episodes that have Hyuna as center don't have a 'Round' name), but never outwardly shown, so it must be a pretty big plot twist, or revelation. I'm still a believer of the "Hyuna killed Hyunwoo" theory, albeit a bit more reserved now, but we do have that frame in Wiege where Luka is crying, clinging onto Hyuna, and Hyunwoo trying to break them apart. (I love the small showcase of his humanity.)
I might have more to say, so I will probably add onto this if I do, but for now, I can only say I cannot wait, and that I'm terrified for this week's ALNST friday.. I actually tried my best to finish this way before the ALNST friday, so I could say what I have to say completely blinded, and I'm excited to see what of this will be valid in the end :)
Blog Intro + Characters/Ships I'll Write For
for reference :)
a warning for my tumblr: I write a lot about pregnancy! women, men, nonbinary characters; pregnancy kink, omegaverse, infertility, teen pregnancy, abortion, miscarriage, pretty much anything. I know these topics aren't for everyone and that's okay, but just know that you're going to see a lot of that here
re: sending asks:
please send asks about specific mcs, not just "whichever ones you want" or "any mcs that xyz". i have way too many mcs for that, will get overwhelmed, and either take a million years to answer it or just delete it.
i love nsfw asks, but please don't send them about any characters who are minors. i will delete them.
i will usually take longer to answer angsty asks. i have to be in the right mindset for angst and i heavily prefer writing about fluff and smut most of the time. you can definitely still send angsty asks! just know that it'll probably take me longer to answer them.

Quote by Billy Cox
Regarding the new breed of MCs since Unbridled, the reason for their low artistic quality could be that they're based on character sprites originally made for Storyloom. Its creator tools provide similar body types for "realistic" MCs and the same choice of ashy skin tones. PB probably thought they could cut a few corners by recycling Storyloom content but the quality standards for art in that app are much lower than they are (or at least used to be) for Choices.
I have already tried my hand on some edits to see how these new bodies could be improved. I used this helpful app called Magic Poser which allows you to pose 3D figures to use as a base for your art projects. Meet Elle and Arnold, two figures from the app who helped me to get correct proportions:
First the female body type. One of the main problems to notice is that it has too short arms, especially from elbows below. The hands are also on the smaller side and the shoulders are too narrow. Moreover, the body is angled more sideways at the shoulders and then bends towards the viewer at the hips.
The male body type is actually pretty decent in terms of proportions. It does, however, suffer from weird looking pecs and abs like many other male bodies in Choices. The pecs have a pencil sharp contour, making them look rather saggy, and there seems to be a lump beneath the abs.
The Unbridled
sguc i designed for @buoyantinnature 's collab project, collab colony!
The Unbridled
type: semi-aquatic/amphibious diet: omnivore they/them climbing, high jump, stunning toxins and spears (weak spear throw), tongue grabs items
The Unbridled came from a group of amphibious slugcats that lived deep in the wet undergrowth of the jungle. They broke off from their family for an unknown reason and decided to follow the Elder, inspired by their leadership skills and knack for negotiation and connection.
They are quiet and cautious, choosing to keep a distance from others (one: most unrelated slugcats cant withstand too much physical contact and two: trust issues). They tend to eavesdrop.
In reality they are social in nature and have a deep desire for companionship. They seem untrusting and nervous with strangers but would probably warm up after some cool bonding experiences
