Q&A:
Q: "What's the lore?"
A: I plan on talking about the entire thing in depth in a youtube video. In the meantime, you can find scraps on this blog or on my youtube channel
Q: "Can I help?"
A: sorry, this is a hobby/personal project of mine, and for this AU, i would rather work on it by myself. feel free to make your own spinoff aus or ocs and such though if you have your own ideas!! :]
Q: "Can I make fanart/writing?"
A: absolutely, go wild! id love to see anything involving the tos au, so do whatever youd like with it, make your own spinoff au even, just credit me please! tell me if you do so i can comment and share it!!! My only request is that you dont make suggestive/nsfw art with them ^^'
Also wanted to mention that im fine with people redesigning/making headcanon designs the characters ive already designed X]
Q: "Can I make my OCs in the au?"
A: hell yeah!!! go wild be creative!! you dont even have to make them accurate do what you want forever go have fun
Q: "Are any ships canon?"
A: nope, most of the relationships are intentionally left vague, so feel free to interpret them as platonic/familial/romantic/however youd like! (i am NOT okay with pedophilic or incestual ships. you will be blocked instantly.)
Q: "Why is it called Tower of Souls?"
A: aha... funny thing about that, i changed the lore a bunch after finally figuring out a name for the au. the toons' souls were meant to be linked in the old lore, but as of now they dont even have souls... whoops!!! its become known as the tower of souls au though so i feel like itd be hard to change it. i mean its still a tower theres just no souls in it
Not really about tos but,,. what are your favourite songs/music artists? :o
This would be better suited for my main blog, @walnutcookie , but ill still answer this here!!
i REALLY really really like lemon demon. ancient aliens is my favorite song ever but i also like go to hollywood, one weird tip, and soft fuzzy man :33
other than lemon demon i like uuhh. Jack johnson, will wood, marina, tally hall/miracle musical, axie, the living tombstone, etc lol. I have the stereotypical queer neurodivergent chronically online teenager taste in music
Throws my silly into the tower, surely nothing will go wrong if you give a little guy with pyromaniac tendencies power over a train's coal supply. He's so normal about it. Sooooooo normal. At least it wasn't a tragic sort of situation like Jone's was, it just put the train out of commission for a while
SURELY ALL WILL BE WELL. AHASDJKFH I LOVE THIS CONCEPT THOUGH I think he desreves a little fire as a treat personally /silly
(š£) not sure if you've already explained this or anyone has already asked about this, but do shrimpo and finn in this au have any chemistry together? i don't care how little that chemistry is, i just love them and their designs here ā¤ļøā¤ļø
another thing, i really love your au! permission to make some animation/draw it for fun? is there a way for you to see the fanarts in different social medias?
I havent thought it through much - not sure if you mean "chemistry" in a romantic way or just in any way, but every relationship is up to interpretation ^^
I can imagine they would have a similar dynamic to how they do in canon though. "Friends" but in the way that shrimpo screams at finn and finn in turn likes to annoy him and can tell that shrimpo does at least like him enough to remember their conversations LOL
Hi itās me again! I finished TOS Beauās (sorta) ref! Still working on Splotch though
(Plus her original ref to compare! And I sent an ask explaining my ideas a while ago but idk if it went through or not, my WiFi was acting up when I sent it lol)
THE OLD ONE DID GO THROUGH!!! SHES EVEN CUTER COLORED OH MY GOODNESS.... WHAT A MIPY /AFF
UAGHEAGEGAHAHAH I LOOOVE THIS AU THE CONCEPT ITS SO COOOLā¦. I HAD to make my ocs in this auās concept bc like- holy fuckkkkk-
They both teach different subjects (if thatās possible) Arthur about typography and how technology is used to aid it and lexy is all about lighting! And about the third one there? Thatās sunne! She doesnāt have a subject nor a pair since she greets the people from outside the building (unless thereās someone who already fills that role)
THE GEAR SKIRT AAUGHHH I LOVE THAT. THESE ARE ALL SO CREATIVE AND FUN!!!!
Hallo hallo halllooooo I tower of soulsād my DW ocs! I plan to digitalize these later but you get these for nowā¦ these are Beau and Splotch! Splotch is way less refined of a design than Beau bc I didnāt know what exactly to do with her tbh
The basic idea behind them is that, as said in Beauās blurb, their class is about how machines fit into everyday and home life! I was thinking of things like Alexa or google home or ring doorbells or those robot maids that show up in the Jetsons or something
(Note: hi waves at you š I feel like itās important to mention and/or as an interesting bit of trivia: OG Beau was based on the movie The Secret World of Arrietty, hence the smallness! And while Iām at it OG Splotch is entirely made of ink so Iām. Working with that)
THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLEEE AAAHHH OH MY GOD !!! YOUR OCS ARE AWESOME.. I LOVE THE ASTRO YOU DREW AAHJSDFHJ <33 SO CUTEEE
I need to throw the dandy at a wall like a milk soaked webkin (this au is really cool and some of the designs give me cuteness aggression, I canāt wait to see more !!!)
AHH THANK YOU !!! I have many things in the works!! X]
i love whatever stupid side plot these two have where they exchange information between each other in secret and brigtney is suspicious asf of rodger because she cant tell why he wants to know all of this and he doesnt talk about himself but in reality he literally has no good reason he just really likes to know things. he doesnt do anything with it.
