Who's Lila x Um Jammer Lammy Au

A really poor introduction!

i wont even try to put on a professional face when trying to present this AU because trying to wrap my head around a story rewrite AND WHAT NEW INFO IS PRESENTED IN LLAWB has driven me to madness. But um. helloooo hiii THIS IS MY BLOG WHERE ILL POST ALL THINGS RELATING TO THIS AU!! If you're totally lost I HIGHLY suggest the video essay by Flawed Peacock (yes it's almost 8 hours but it's worth every hour I swear) or the video by Abbsynthe. ALSO PLEASE DO PLAY THE GAME!!! It's a wonderful (if at times confusing) experience that will not disappoint!

What is "Who's Rammy?" In short, Who's Rammy is the story of Katy K, a young woman who struggles making facial expressions. She's at the center of the investigation looking into the disappearance of Lammy, as she was the last one to see her alive. As the story progresses and more endings are unlocked, it becomes increasingly obvious things are not as black and white as they seem. The story follows closely with the events of Who's Lila, although with a few Who's Lila characters rewritten to fit better with their UJL/PTR counterparts. Elaborating further on the story requires a whole other post since I'm still not finished with all branching paths. Will this AU be a playable mod for Who's Lila? Nope. I can't code and my attempts at 3D modeling are laughable. That being said, I honestly have no idea for how I could present this au outside of video mockups of how scenes would play out. As for now, this AU really only exists as concept art, some sprite work, song animatics, and ramblings. ...Why??? I watched the Flawed Peacock video and thats all it took. I blame that man for my torment!! Jokes aside, it's truthfully something I had no idea I'd end up putting so much time and effort into. It was initially a joke that spiraled into this mini passion project of mine. That's why I've finally decided to make a blog so I can have a place for it to exist outside of my mind! Even with all that being said, I still haven't fully grasped some of the larger concepts of Who's Lila like Saṃsāra, existentialism, etc. I think of this AU as a patchwork of ideas that uses the story of Who's Lila as a starting point rather than a 1:1 retelling. I'm sorta rambling now but you get the gist! Thanks for reading! If this interests you then I hope you stick around!!

(WIP) One Way Or Another - Blondie animation

Thank you guys for your interest in my last animation!! Here's another of the Boiler Room confrontation with Strupnev. I Hope to make more in the future

(WIP) Where Your Eyes Don't Go - TMBG demo animation

The way I animate is very chaotic so I do not blame anyone who is confused by what's happening or the order of events. I will write a brief explanation below! I just wanted to show off the work I've done on this animation so far (explanation below)

scene 1: Katy (William Clarke) at Matt's house party. She's making her way through the crowd before catching a glimpse of herself in a hallway mirror. Hands begin to pull at her face, a call back to the first moments you spend in Who's Lila where you train your expression in the mirror. She calms herself before the glass suddenly shatters! Something has changed. She stands in the same hallway, now "alone" before she turns to see The Stranger standing in the hallway as well. She tries to make sense of the scene before The Stranger begins turning to face Katy scene 2: [no any specific moment in the story, just a simple animation to show the juxtaposition between the lively town and the isolation of The Forest] scene 3: Ma-san (Detective Yu) pulls away the frame, revealing it to be a card from the tarot deck. She offers "Katy" another card and tells Rammy (Lila) she's "free to come and go", not wanting to entertain Rammy's little puppetry act. Though Rammy's body cannot be seen (she's in full control of Katy's body), her head reveals itself like a Cheshire cat while she lips syncs "But there's a pair of eyes in back of your head!" scene 1 cont.: Katy stands in shock, unable to process what she's looking at while the shape of a Yantra spins behind her. The Stranger brings its paws up, resting one on its cheek. (this part got messed up so it out of frame by accident) it blinks, as if to snap Katy back to reality. scene 4: Katy snaps out of her momentary trance. Her eyes dart around the room when she realizes she's found herself back in a "Club Meeting" with Jack Smash (Father Lawrence). The camera zooms out, revealing Jack ranting and raving while the rest of the Club (Fraternity) hang on every word. He continues his speech, coming up close to the camera as the line "-because it's always waiting where your eyes don't go?" is said. [THIS FOLLOWS THE ROUTE WHERE MICHAEL PUSHES WILL OFF THE ROOF]

scene 5: leaving the meeting, it's now December 3rd. The day of the police interviewing Lammy's (Tanya Kennedy) close friends in hopes of gaining information on her disappearance. Katy (piloted by Rammy) heads up the school stairs towards the roof in search of Sunny (Martha Jennings). Finding Sunny alone after her police interview, she begins to threaten information out of Sunny regarding what Sunny told the police before Joe Chin (Michael Graves) interrupts their conversation. Quickly changing her attitude, Katy begins to taunt Joe Chin while Martha sits by and watches. Joe, initially trying to find common ground with Katy over Lammy's disappearance, quickly gives into his anger. While Katy has her back turned, Joe comes from behind and pushes her over the railing. scene 5 cont.: Katy falls against a background of changing tarot cards, each one coinciding with an ending in Who's Lila. scene 6: In reference to both Father Lawrence's appearance in the phone call facilitated by the DAEMON tool and the Emperors appearance in the Emperor Reversed ending. First appears Jack Smash, lip syncing to "Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah. He is then quickly followed by Thunder Bunny (The Emperor) who finished the line "Someone's in the kitchen I know-o-o-o". It's not a direct cut from Katy's fall to the Emperor Reversed ending. It's just a fun visual.

another older sketch inspired loosely by the September 15th diary entry (ignore the wrong date in the drawing, oops). I love playing around with the idea of Rammy/Lila being an affront to everything Katy/Will has built her personality around. This masculine, but still distinctly feminine presence slowly infecting everything she uses to keep herself grounded. Mainly because frazzled Katy is cute to draw

[whosrammy]

a character I haven't talked much about is The Stranger! As I developed parts of the AU, The Stranger became more of an idea?? if that makes any sense?? The only struggle I have right now is fixing The Stranger's old design and recreating the uncanny gaze it has.

i knew what parallels I wanted Katy/Will to have with The Stranger/K but looking back it didn't do the full concept of The Stranger justice. The Stranger androgyny is important, but simplifying the idea of Katy's depersonalization after her mothers death ignores the other interpretations of The Strangers role that the game provides and doesn't expand on Katy's transition in a meaningful way

these are the recent sketches from some brainstorming. I'm hoping to find something that hits the same uncanny/dream-like familiarity/intimidating balance as The Stranger.

speaking of 3D modeling, heres my old attempt at a Katy model! I thought it'd be useful to have a model to edit into screenshots instead of drawing each new angle/frame. Even though the actual model itself looked okay the UV wrap was.. not fun. also i somehow managed to merge 2 copies of the body inside of itself with no way to separate them?? this was my 6th time trying blender so i just gave up lol

It's supposed to look like those paper foldable print outs instead of a cube stuck inside of itself. im sure for someone more familiar with 3D modeling these are simple fixes but I am done trying to force myself to learn 3D modeling

[whosrammy]

on the topic of my screenshot recreations, one of the things I sadly had to cut was the iconic face pulling mechanic 💔 Since I can't code or 3D model, it only made sense to simplify the neural network tool into easily swappable components broken into eyes and mouth (i plan on making swappable ears soon). I come back to update her file with more expressions every now and then but as for now this gif shows off all her current face tiles!!

[whosrammy]

Wanted to compare the quality of my first screenshot recreation (July 2024) and my most recent one (September 2025). I've learned a lot in that time!! mainly that my life would be 300x easier if I learned how to 3D model and apply a dithering shader BUTTTTT it's more fun to play with dithering brushes on Fire Alpaca and Procreate.

Some (in progress) reference slides I made to help keep track of character swaps and personal history! i did use a lot of the pre-written character descriptions from the Fandom Wiki (MASSIVE THANKS TO THE WHOS LILA WIKI TEAM!!!!)

[whosrammy]

a collection of early story planning sketches! some of these are no longer canon to the au (ex: Katy takes the place of Will now instead of Lammy) but I think the messy notes and scribbled out scenes are fun to look back on. pretty sure these are from September of last year if that matters

[whosrammy]

i forgot all of my drawings are in random mislabeled folders and files except for maybe 3 of them. a victim of my own hubris 💔 i will find all of them if its the last thing I do
