hey you havent posted since like febuary is this blog dead?
Hi, Mod here.
To answer your question, yes and no?
I'm too tired to mince words at the very beginning so I'll just be blunt. I made this blog to channel a hard-hitting hyperfixation into getting me back into writing and drawing comics again. I had gone through an entire year of burnout from my webcomic (Haunted Housemate), which is my Real passion project that has been going on for five years.
Good news! It worked! I can write my webcomic and i drew a full update's worth last month that I was able to put up on my patreon, and am working on another! I feel like myself again drawing my non-roblox ocs!
Bad news for this blog, though, I burnt myself out on drawing the roblox blorbos. (I mean i was drawing a full update a day it was bound to happen.)
TL;DR: I still love the Mafioso, Blippity, and the Boys, and Swept Elsewhere AU as a whole, but I've set this blog down and probably won't do much with it unless people are really interested in me picking it back up again. I won't delete anything.
You want more romances written by me? Read Haunted Housemate.
More thoughts below:
I still think about Mafioso. I still think about his Boys. I still think about Blippity. I still think about them being one big polyam pile. It's very silly and cute. I haven't thought about drawing them in a while, though
I still think about the Swept Elsewhere setting and the intricacies of the Skybox and it's dynamics with all of the other characters. (I'll be real, TADC 8 reminded me of it, to give you a reference.)
My thoughts on the Swept Elsewhere au are... complicated. I started working on it so I could distance myself from Forsaken. I... don't wanna diagnose myself with Moral OCD I'm not a professional and I hadn't seen a professional about it. But it's very hard to continue making art for something when the latest things you're hearing about it is that doing so supports an asshole, even if it's not meant to, yknow?
Mafi was really the only character i really cared about in the game, anyways. I mean I liked the rest of them, but the constant rewrites like,,, made it hard to invest too much into them.
So when I saw that the voice actor for Mafi was also leaving the team, I knew I had the chance to make my own au. I thought it would be fun! And it was!
But, like, I intimidated myself with how much research I felt like I had to do to make a roblox au when, to be honest, I don't Play Roblox all that much. I started playing when Dress to Impress was The Thing. Then the other games i've played since are: Doors, Pressure, the character creator catalogue, Bad Things, Forsaken, and a whole lot of Grace. (I started blocktales but didn't get too far tbh [got distracted])
I'm not a roblox veteran, I'm very late to the party here! And if I wanted to make a story set in Roblox I felt I needed to know Roblox, which I don't! Most other aus are like either well-researched or made by someone who was There The Whole Time, so I wasn't really as up-to-snuff with those guys.
And like,,, to sound selfish for a paragraph, the second I started distancing from Forsaken, it felt like no one really cared anymore? Interactions dwindled and.... Maybe it was because I was focused more on worldbuilding than Mafioso in general. But I was really excited about Swept Elsewhere. I had friends who were also really excited about it, but when I shared it here, crickets. Kinda hard to continue after that.
I love all the fanart I've gotten. It's really sweet and I have it all saved in a folder on my computer and I look back at it a lot. It fills me with so much emotion that people liked my Blippity and Mafioso enough to draw them.
I'm sorry that this is a disappointing update.
I may draw them again in the future, but hopefully by then it'll be enough time that I've forgotten what made me stop in the first place.
rotating Combat-Sport Shedletsky and Combat-War 1x1x1x1
rotating how the Skybox stole Shed and 1x into its own dimension trying to figure out how People Play and Interact and it picked those two because it saw them fighting and thought that was cool (it didn't know the implications of two halves-of-god fighting)
rotating how it got bored of the fight so it took Builderman to give one side an advantage
rotating how Skybox started branching out and taking different people to see how they would "play" in this scenario.
rotating how without the Combats or Creation, nothing is being made or torn down so the world outside of the Elsewhere is kinda in an active stasis where no one dies and nothing new is made while the other gods are trying to find them before normal people notice (They do.)
rotating the Skybox not knowing what damage it's done to the world in its attempts at being an active participant in it like in G-mod
I apologize (not really) for the threats I made as Cupid anon so here is a drawing of Blippity as an apology
Hi, mod here! Just wanted to say thank you for this super sweet art of my bbygirl Blippity I have been holding this soft and gentle and- what's that noise? OH SHIT ITS MAFI-
Um so…Ima just ask..who would be the first to die in a slasher film? And btw don! I was wondering if you like any survivors? Or do you just dislike them all? Chance is a obviously hate but still :3
Asked as if theyre not already in a slasher movie lmao either way, if they were on the receiving end...
As for Mafi's relationships with the survivors... Who's Chance? That's a weird way to spell Chips lmao
He would say that he really doesn't care about the survivors except for wanting Chips dead, HOWEVER i have his chart uwu
Mafi and the rest (maybe not Lil Donny [still an adult]) are old enough to remember his hacking heyday. They know he's capable of doing a lot of damage, and yet he doesn't now? What is he, stupid? He changed the color of the fucking sky, and he just gave that up?
Sure he has a kid, and parenthood is difficult. Normally he'd respect that. HOWEVER, the kid is a pain in the ASS. Everyone went through the team choosing ceremony, why didn't he get his fucking kid? Which one came first? Was he such a bad father that his kid didn't pick him, or did he just not pick his own fucking kid????
Mafi is not a good father. But there's something about how 007n7 and CK are both here that rubs him the wrong way.
i assume that, as the consigliere, you stay up late making plans and doing paperwork and such. is this true? how often do you stay up at night doing paperwork, if you do that at all? if yes, how do you stay up? energy drinks maybe? if so, what brand and flavor?
o damn that’s a lot of questions but yeah i like toni a lot

"Sure we may be stuck in an alternate dimension forever, but I can make everyone kiss, so who's the real winner? Me!"
The Killer Half of the Elsewhere is lacking in normal apartments or housing, so all of them have to make do mostly within abandoned storefronts and restaurants. So picking where Mafioso and his boys would set up their base of operations was a bit of a challenge. Then it hit me.
