Just Another Yogscast Fan

In early summer 2014, my best friend intoduced me to the wonderful dorks that are the Yogscast and I've loved them ever since. This blog is a place for me to just share my love of the Yogscast. (Also, I'm a Sjipper!) (This is a sideblog, so I can't follow back, I'm sorry!)

Let me tell you a story about a boy and a girl and a land of magic and monsters…

Since there's a Blackrock bandwagon doing the rounds after the latest Jaffa Factory 2, I thought id jump on board by redoing my old Blackrock fanart.

A Blackrock Story: A Boy with Turquoise Eyes

Happy 12th Anniversary to Blackrock Chronicle!

This comic ended up being 47 pages long (when I first sketched it, it was only 20 pages long). Since I can only upload 30 images in a post, I had to combine 2 pages into 1 image so hopefully it's still visually fine and not annoying to scroll through!

I wrote this mini-story more than 10 years ago, so I figured it was time to finally make it into a comic (after editing the writing a lot because I became a much better writer since lol).

Be aware of the TWs, and I hope you enjoy this comic!

TW: Violence || Blood || Injuries/Scars/Burn Marks || Kidnapping || (Temporary) Death || Loss of Limb / Amputation

Thank you all for reading one of my most insane projects ever!

Now, here’s another long story:

About 8 years ago, my life became so busy that to stay on top of my studies and activities, I stopped watching a lot of YouTubers, including the Yogscast.

I’ve grown up throughout the years. I had to stop acting like a kid to figure out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I’m still an artist today, but I haven’t drawn in this way for about 3 years to pursue my real passion. I love to draw, but I didn’t have the time or inspiration to make something grand.

About 3 months ago, I suddenly got curious about how all those YouTubers I stopped watching were doing, so I checked out their channels and watched a video or two before moving on. When I got to the Yogscast channel, on the other hand, I quickly fell in love with the new content and with everyone again.

It was insane to see how immediately my love for them came back. In 3 months, I’ve watched so many videos and streams/VODs. It’s all so comforting, funny, and uplifting. Clearly, I missed so much content in the past 8 years, but at least I don’t have to worry about running out of things to watch for a while.

What made me most happy was that despite changing a lot, I never stopped being that kid who laughed at the Yogscast’s shenanigans. It just goes to show that no matter how much the world tries to push you around, you never lose that sense of joy you had as a child.

Now, about Rythian:

Since I started watching the Yogscast in 2011, Rythian has always been my favorite. I loved his series so much, especially with how he got into character to give us an immersive experience. It was an escape for me as a kid. When difficult moments were thrown at me, I watched Rythian’s series to find a sense of comfort.

So when I started watching his and Zoey’s Blackrock series, my mind was blown. The storytelling, acting, humor, and drama of the series were so immersive and touching that my creativity exploded.

I mainly use art to express myself and my interests because I struggle to talk about it. But funny enough, Blackrock was the only interest of mine that got me to not draw, but to write. I wrote a lot of short stories about the series—even how I envisioned the series would end. I was so inspired to create all the time from this series.

And what’s crazy is that at the beginning of this summer, I found all of those written drafts and notes from when I was a kid. I kept them all for 10+ years and found a very loose (and not that good) draft of this comic and I felt really inspired to finish it.

It was roughly when I was first watching Blackrock too when I realized that I can be creative in the future. The Yogscast helped me understand that I can do whatever I want for the rest of my life. If they could do it, then why can’t I?

What’s also wonderful is that even after so many years, Rythian never stopped being my favorite. When I started watching the main channel again a few months ago, I immediately found myself rooting for him whenever he was in the group videos. I just remembered how much happiness he brought me when I was younger and it makes me so happy that I still get so much joy whenever I hear his voice.

While working on this comic, I watched all of Kirbycraft and caught up on Kirby Farm. I can’t help but smile the whole time Rythian, Briony, and Kirsty interact with one another. The dynamic of these three brings me so much laughter and comfort. A part of me is upset that I didn’t get back to watching everyone when Kirbycraft was still live, but better late than never, right?

I also originally started this comic without the intention of posting it. But then I figured, Hey, it’d be great to share it with everyone who’s also been impacted by this series and the Yogscast in general, so I made this blog to post it here. Honestly, I’m not sure when the next time I’ll be able to draw is (who knew building a career takes away a lot of your energy and time?). But I think that’s what’s so wonderful about my love for Yogscast and particularly Blackrock: I didn’t make this comic for the likes or views. It was just because I wanted to, and I’m so happy to see there are so many people on here who feel the same love for them as I do.

This series and the people who made it, along with the people who supported it and loved it and continued to love it, impacted me for the better. I learned so many years ago that I can be creative for a living, and have been working hard towards doing that since.

Happy 12th Anniversary to the Blackrock Chronicle. To Rythian and Zoey who put a smile on this kid’s face even during the toughest of times.

And to the Yogscast, thank you for being there for me when I needed you all the most and for still being here when I came back. Your ability to inspire me and make me laugh never disappeared throughout the years I was gone, and I’m ready to laugh some more.

[rythian]

What a wonderful comic. Thank you for making this and putting it out there. I'm humbled that what we did has inspired someone to such a degree. Wow.

i was bored this morning and people have been reblogging THIS OLD DRAWING so i decided to paint over it

but like. whose art style did i steal for this what

[ktechnicolour]

snazzy dapper looking @rythian!

[strifesolution]

I like how both apprentices were lost to incidents involving Lalna and nukes

Lalna: It was impossible to predict what she’d do... she was only talking about all our old times together and how I should take care of myself and how much I mattered to her right before...

Rythian: Oh my god, you’re a fucking idiot

[changesagrd]

In honor of the Flux Buddies Finale, I just had to draw this. Kim giving Lalna the sapphire of course stuck with me haha!

i really fucked it up this time, didnt i, my dear?

[yogbuttarxsia]

So I’ve never been super active in this fandom, but I’ve been watching the Yogs for 5 years now and Duncan has always been my favorite, and while she was on YouTube, I really liked Kim, so naturally Flux Buddies was one of my favorite series. And now... it’s over.

I’m left... melancholy. Kim did say she’s not coming back, that High Rollers is it for her (and I wish her all the best), so if there IS any sort of continuation to the Flux Buddies universe, it will surely be entirely focused on Lalna (and considering how the finale went, there’s potential for Duncan to do a series ala Lalna’s Adventures with The Doctor or something of that sort). If he does, I’ll look forward to it, but for now... Goodbye, Flux Buddies.

Duncan, Kim, thank you. It’s been fun~ 💛💜

[lalnerd-art]

he looks like a villain from some kids anime

[nekosounds]

My theory for what's gonna happen next

So everyone is wanted Flux Baddies 2 (and trust me, so do I). But Kim DID say on Twitter that this is the last time she's gonna be on YouTube for a while, if not forever.

So what I think is gonna happen is that Duncan is going to make a spin off series where he goes to find Nano/the baddies.

Because we saw the baddies and Nanos ending after the time skip. BUT, we never saw what happened to Lalna. So I think that that's how the story is going to continue on.

[yogsbog]

All I can say with how open-ended the finale is, is...Flux Baddies 2? With lonely sad Lalna being watched after by the baddies?

LISTEN!!!!! LISTEN!!! 

lalna thinking hes alone and lalnable and five are just sneaking around trying to take care of him without being caught and keep trying to keep up to nanos word while keeping their kinda evil reputation?? 

its goofy but its so i can cope im LIVING for this flux baddies redemption arc

[yogsbog]

heres all of nano’s note to five undercut incase you wanna die like me

Keep reading

[lukadarkwater-main]

Okay the Blackrock parallels between Flux Buddies and Blackrock have got me even more in my feels than I would already be because of the ending of Flux Buddies. What a fantastic ending, I’m so glad they came back to finish it and I’m so thankful to Kim and Duncan for all the work they put into it.

[strifesolution]

SO HOW ABOUT THAT FINALE?? (thank @yogsandchaos for this)
