GUYS MY FRIEND @wezzyaug JUST MADE THIS STATEMENT ABOUT MY BLOODYMARY DRAWING AND I NEEED TO KNOW IF SOMEONE HAS DONE THIS 💔💔 PLS LET IT BE TRUE WITH AT LEAST ONE PERSON
Hi everyone,
Here is another model update, for the Ascetic.
I'm happy with his design! I added some subtle colors, which I'm trying to do for a lot of the design updates going forward, now that I feel I have some more footing with Ersatz' art direction.
I have a lot of cool stuff planned, and I've also properly been practicing animation, so after Trench Dogs, things should start looking nicer. As always, more on my patreon. Thank you so much for the support!
Haii omg I found your Avaritionist design and I went nuts!! Do you have a design for soulism/River they’re so so so important to me and I’d love to hear what you have to say about soulism
thank youuuuuuu!
i think soulism has the potential to be really interesting, but his design and his character (in the draft of the last script) was underutilized. (but so does 99.9% of the realicide cast)
it’s important to preface that before i design a character i consider how their ideology will effect how they present themselves. i had never had the pleasure of looking into soulism as a concept because it hadn’t really interested me, but least to say i was disappointed. at best, most of the concepts illustrated in the pubic “soulist manifestos” that ive read online are super baseline concepts for most ideologies, and at worst, the ideas presented are vague.
most of the ideas presented in these writings (institutions in society prevent from true reality, “objective reality”, etc…) have already been written about by authors like antonio gramsci
(special thanks to my beautiful mootie toastie for helping me navigate this! the way this was written was extremely confusing to me and xe helped me out with most of what i’m about to describe.)
so, to make a long story short; soulist is now metaphysical solipsism! *jazz hands*
based on real philosophy and actually interesting and new concepts that feel relatively similar to what the original creators of soulism were attempting to achieve.
metaphysical solipsism suggests that the only real reality is limited to the mind and the mind alone, and any external experience in the “external world” is nothing more than a concept or an idea. no reality exists outside of the processes of the mind.
once again, do not take my word for this, i’m not a philosophy guy at all—please do your own research on any of the topics i present. it’s fun, i swearrrrr
originally, in the unreleased realicide script, soulism was a part of the alternative group that included kraterocracy, HMC, illumanist, and avaritionist. (which, i’ve officially all have designs now, yay! illumanist has one, i swear, i just don’t know if she’s ready for public viewing quite yet..)
i have qualms about him being the only brown character and also being depicted as a “spiritual stoner” but i’m gonna keep my wokeness to myself. long story short, i wasn’t ever really interested in him nor his design, he seemed rather flat to me.
with my revisions in mind, i wanted to keep him mellowed out as a nice contrast to the loud boisterous kraterocracy or the meek obsessive HMC. so, keeping his ideology in mind, i think of him being a similar archetype to the political nihilist in the original centricide. since he doesn’t perceive most things outside of his cognitive function as real, he doesn’t seem to have any interest in being an active participant of his team.
he doesn’t consider himself a team member because that would mean he’d be reacting to an external force. (although, he is a part of a team.) he serves others in his own favor to protect himself.
he’s most comfortable when he’s asleep, as he’s completely immersed in his own consciousness. i would like to imagine he’s narcoleptic or an insomniac. (or both, make him sufferrrrr)
i’ll have to think about him a bit more, but that’s what i have.
I interacted with one of my friends posts in a fandom they are in that I don't know shit about and now it's all over my Tumblr what DO I DO!!!! I DONT GO TO THIS SCHOOL
This has only gotten worse but I don't really care I like supporting my friends even if they are in really niche gay fandoms I'll just block everybody else !lol
Authcon for those who care. They'd never ACTUALLY get married, Authright already hates himself enough for LIKING another guy and marrying one would kill him.

I really wanted to design Progressive and then I just ended up drawing all of them together, as one does. ^_^ I love the moderates so much, I like to think they're all good friends and get along more than the extremists. It's a shame I don't see much art of them.
Socdem's design makes zero sense unless you know the lore behind it </3, Progressive is obviously inspired by hippies, Chriscon is inspired by the church, and Libertarian is inspired by the Victorian period (well-known for its Industrial Revolution.)
↳ {Lore ramblings below!:}
Social Democracy is a Cis-man (He/Him) and Gay (MLM). He's in a relationship with Social Liberalism. Socdem does public speaking/activism. I like to think he owns a library.
Progressive is Genderqueer (Any) and AroAce. They're that one unemployed friend who totally owns a crystal shop and sells overpriced statues of buddha, and smells like weed and incense. Rest in peace Progressive you would've loved matcha. He's 100% vegan.
Chriscon is a Cis-man (He/Him) and Gay (MLM) (He's HEAVILY in the closet O_O) He works as a pastor at church and enjoys reading in his spare time.
Libertarian is a Transman (He/Him), Pansexual and Asexual. He's the second-in-command at AnCorp. and lovingly married to Ancap.
Since they're all moderates, they're all naturally reserved and averse to confrontation. They'd rather discuss things over a cup of tea instead of getting into arguments and that's probably why they get along so well with each other.
↳ {Other miscellaneous details!:}
✦=- Socdem is Afro-latino, Progressive is White American, Chriscon is White American and Libertarian is English-Scottish.
