Masterlist: The freak circus - Brazilian dictatorship AU

AU introduction:

Mc and Au introduction

This AU reimagines the events of The Freak Circus game, taking place in Brazil in 1973, within the context of a military dictatorship and strong repression. The MC of the AU is a young participant in student movements, protesting against the regime of the period. For more information, access the link above.

To create these stories in a way that makes more sense hysterically, I'm reading various texts and research about the period, and in the future I intend to add a topic to this masterlist for theoretical background with the names of the texts I've read.

Redesign + interaction with MC + creative process :

Pierrot

Harlequin

Jester

Ticket taker

Doctor

Carolina (Carol)

Nathaniel (Boss)

The redesign was done imagining that, after the events of @nekoboydreams ' comic about the old circus costumes, they wore a different version of clothing before the ones used during the game. These costumes were slightly better adapted for them, but with a design that acts as a reinterpretation of classic Commedia dell'Arte costumes. Despite the differences between the outfits, the color that unites them all is blood red.

Comics:

In the future I will produce the comics and add them here....

Extra:

theory about the circus in the 20th century

Ideas about the comic strip of Pierrot's old clothes

Ask about how the idea for the AU came about

Pierrot playing the flute

Ask about if the circus would have been active during the Cold War

literary references:

- História da vida privada no Brasil, volume 4 (History of private life in Brazil, volume 4).

- A ditadura envergonhada (The ashamed dictatorship).

- versões e controvérsias sobre 1964 e a ditadura militar (Versions and controversies surrounding 1964 and the military dictatorship).

- A representação da mulher durante a ditadura militar brasileira: anúncios da revista Veja 1969-85 (The representation of women during the Brazilian military dictatorship: advertisements from Veja magazine 1969-85)

- Ditadura e violência contra homossexuais - relatório final da Comissão Nacional da Verdade [CNV] (Dictatorship and violence against homosexuals – final report of the National Truth Commission [CNV])

Updates:

For each piece of art or additional information about the AU, I've added it here to keep this list updated. My plans for the future so far are:

- MC's family design (mother, brother, and father)

- Comic revisiting the Boss's past

- Comic about the circus a few days before the events of the game. (in progress)

- Comic where the MC meets Pierrot

- Topic in the masterlist with references to books and articles about the period (being added gradually)

"I should have made use of fear, ignorance, and power"

I created this artwork inspired by a scene from the music video for "Medo, Ignorância e Poder" (Fear, Ignorance, and Power) by the Brazilian singer Lourandes. She is an up-and-coming dark pop artist, and I appreciate the depth of the lyrics she writes. I felt that this part of the video resonated somewhat with the essence of the Jester.

I couldn't find any videos with an English translation of the lyrics, so I'm including a Google Translate version of the full lyrics at the end of this post so you can understand the meaning.

The next art I want to create, inspired by that singer, will be of the Ticket Taker.

---------------------português----------------------

Criei esta arte inspirada em uma cena do videoclipe de "Medo, Ignorância e Poder" da cantora brasileira Lourandes. Ela é uma artista de dark pop independente, e eu gosto a profundidade das letras que ela escreve. Senti que esta parte do vídeo lembrava de alguma forma a essência do Jester.

A próxima arte que quero fazer inspirado nessa cantora vai ser do Bilheteiro.

Lyrics:

I started my journey, I wiped my hands of blood. I became what I hated while rage consumes me.

Should I be better? (I should be)

I should have used fear, ignorance, and power.

I chose to strangle myself just to embrace myself before dying. You know what I did, what I’m about to do.

You know that exposing yourself makes people like you less. I just created an amplified, battered version.

What doesn't make you stronger, kills you.

Hear my music blasting while I'm high on ecstasy. I run through the streets, I ruin your battles.

I build myself, transform myself, refuse to feel guilt. And I try, and I mess up, I should be much better.

And I sin, and I pray. It could be much worse.

Too big for the Minas Gerais scene.

If it’s not now, I don’t want it anymore. If it’s abusive and I’m callous, it makes no difference to me.

Fucking incredible—you have no idea what I’m capable of. I sleep with knives, dream of guns. I became the most hated lyricist.

So many followers—I feel loved, I feel armed. People say I’m right even when I’m clearly wrong.

"Oh, she’s spoiled, a liar, she’s worthless". You envy me because they love me.

Even when I lose it, they applaud.

I know I inspire you—go ahead, call yourself a fan. Little by little, it loses meaning; they aren't people anymore, just numbers on Instagram. And I try to change, but I give up.

I’m a victim of what I created. And success was predicted, but I wanted more. So much more that I blinded myself.

I messed up Ah, ah, I messed up

I messed up Ah, ah, I messed up

Update on the comic's development

(Texto em português após versão em inglês)

Hi kittens!

I’m back with another sneak peek at the first comic for my TFC AU. Right now, I just need to finish the line art for one page—the others have basic coloring—and then I can focus on adding a bit more detail to the coloring. Creating a comic is a really time-consuming process, especially when you're a perfectionist who is demanding about your own art. The comic spans a total of six pages (which doesn't seem like many, yet it still takes a long time to finish exactly the way I want).

At the end of the post, I’ll include a poll to decide the theme for the next comic in the AU. I’ve already added three options: one about when the MC met Pierrot; one exploring Nathaniel’s past with the MC’s family; and one about how Carol met the MC. These are the ideas I have for now, but feel free to suggest others in the comments for me to add to the poll.

Bye 💕🫶

Olá, gatinhos!

trouxe mais um spoiler da primeira comic da minha Au de tfc. Atualmente falta apenas finalizar a lineart de 1 pagina, e as outras estão com uma pintura básica, e então poderei focar em detalhar um pouco mais a pintura. Fazer uma comic é algo realmente bem demorado, ainda mais sendo uma pessoa bem perfeccionista e exigente com minha própria arte. A comic ficou com um total de 6 páginas (que na minha percepção parecem poucas páginas, e mesmo assim leva muito tempo para finalizar da maneira que quero).

No final do post da comic, eu vou colocar uma enquete para definir qual será o tema da próxima comic que eu irei trabalhar para a Au. Eu já adicionei 3 opções (uma para quando a Mc conheceu o Pierrot; uma para contar um pouco sobre o passado do Nathaniel com a família da mc; e uma comic sobre como Carol conheceu a Mc). No momento foram essa as ideias que eu tive para comic, mas sintam-se a vontade para comentar algumas outras ideias para eu adicionar na enquete.

Santa Columbina

This is the first time I’ve drawn our beloved Columbina! I based her outfit on a design by @berryhize , and the inspiration for the artwork itself came from a post by @ommiotta . The words in the background are lyrics from the song "Geni e o Zepelim" by Brazilian singer Chico Buarque (I highly recommend checking it out, the lyrics have a very deep meaning) and the song "Santa Maria" by Brazilian singer Luna Di.

I’ve included the rough sketch I made on paper at the end of this post. Bye! 🫶

---------------------português----------------------

Primeira vez que desenho a nossa querida Columbina! A roupa dela eu fiz com base no design criado por berryhize, e a inspiração para minha arte veio de um post de Omiotta.

As palavras escritas no fundo são partes da letra da música "Geni e o Zepelim" do cantor brasileiro Chico Buarque (recomendo ver essa música, porque ela tem uma letra com um significado bem profundo), e a música "Santa Maria" da cantora brasileira Luna Di.

No final desse post coloquei o rascunho que fiz no papel. Bye 🫶

sweep under the rug (varrer para baixo do tapete)

After the drawing challenge where the idea of ​​a domestic interaction between the TFC characters was suggested, I created another one, this time between Harlequin and Camila (the MC of my AU).

-------

Depois do desafio de desenho em que deram a ideia de uma interação doméstica dos personagens de tfc, criei outro, desta vez entre Harlequin e Camila (a protagonista da minha AU).

[yurimoka-art]

Olá Olá Moka~

Eu gosto muito de imaginar o Jester bravo batendo uma régua na mão igual o Baldi de Baldi's Basics, será que você poderia desenhar algo assim? Se não, pode descartar essa kkkk

I'm still accepting requests for sketches/ainda estou aceitando pedidos de rascunhos.

Fiz um Jester professor com uma roupa mais caliente~

Eu me inspirei na música "Décadanse" da Bea Duarte (amo essa cantora). Caso não conheça, ela é uma cantora independente brasileira ✨️)

O álbum dessa música é bem legal, inspirado no teatro Commedia dell'Arte (mesma inspiração do The freak circus 😆).

[yurimoka-art]

It's so sweet of you to open art requests for others! But what's something you'd like drawn for you?

- misterious follower.

Hello, mysterious follower~ 💕🫶

Well, I’d be happy if someone drew one of my OCs or the The Freak Circus characters using my AU designs (with proper credit, of course). I have several OCs (I might show some of them in the future, but no promises, haha), but I’ve already shown three of them here on Tumblr: Moka (my persona), Camila (the mc of my TFC AU), and Rosália (a mc I’ve barely done anything with—poor thing, she’s kind of been abandoned, haha).

I'll leave the link where you can find the designs for all of them, in case you don't know them all.

Oc: Camila, Moka, Rosália

Tfc Au designs

And I still have open requests for sketches ✏️

[yurimoka-art]

Hello! 🌸 Thank you for taking requests. please can you draw my MC between Pierrot and Doctor!!🤭🌸

Hi!

Oh, she is so cute!! It reminded me a bit of a comfort anime I like called Tokyo Mew Mew 💕

---------

Hey kittens, If you’d like to see some of the paintings I create using colored pencils, watercolors, and the like (I’m really proud of my hand-painting skills 🤭)—which I don’t usually post here on Tumblr very often—I have an Instagram where I share that kind of thing. Feel free to follow me! Kisses 💋

Spoiler of the first comic from my Tfc AU

After spending a few months promising comics based on my AU, I finally started drawing the comic about the circus, set just a few days before the game's events! The inicial sketch is at the end of the post.

I felt just like a politician on the campaign trail (making promises that take forever to keep) lol... sorry for the wait, guys 😅

--------

Depois de alguns meses prometendo comics da minha Au, eu finalmente comecei a desenhar a comic sobre o circo alguns dias antes dos eventos do jogo! O rascunho inicial está no final do post

Eu estava me sentindo como um político nas campanhas eleitorais (fazendo promessas que demora a cumprir) kkkkk... desculpa a demora gente 😅

Spoiler ⤵️

Update on the comic's progress

Atualização sobre o andamento da comic

I’ve already sketched out all the pages on paper; now I’m at the line art stage, and I’ve already started coloring some of the pages. This page is currently at the painting stage and is still unfinished.

--------

Já fiz o esboço em papel de todas as paginas, agora estou na etapa de lineart, e já comecei a pintura de algumas páginas. Essa página atualmente está na etapa de pintura, e ainda inacabada.

[yurimoka-art]

@hexserath ! Today is your lucky day! I liked the sketch so much that I decided to dust off my colored pencils to color this beautiful Hearttaker. Most of the colored drawings I post on Tumblr are digital, but, even though I'm a bit rusty, I'm still more skilled at painting on paper.

The outfits they are wearing are the ones from the fashion sketches I created, inspired by The Freak Circus.

There's still room for one more drawing in that small space left on the page... maybe a ticket taker 👀

Edit: I'm still accepting sketch requests! 🫶

[yurimoka-art]

Oieee! Para o desafio de desenho, tenho uma sugestão de base para fazer com MC e Pierrot, eu acho que combinaria, mas vai de você! No seu traço e tempo :)

Oi miga!!! 💕

Desenhei o Pierrot e a Mc da minha AU

[yurimoka-art]

Eu te abençoo com "HeartDiamondMirror" ✨️

Se olhar bem, a silhueta deles juntos quase forma um coração ♡

Esse comentário foi feito no meu post com o desafio de desenho. Eu ainda estou aceitando pedidos, faltam 14 posts para eu conseguir meu tão sonhado selo do Tumblr de 100 posts!!

Se você se perguntou por que eu não simplesmente reblogo conteúdo de outras pessoas para conseguir o selo, minha resposta é: seria fácil demais, eu gosto de complicar minha vida, e eu tô com tempo para desenhar kkkkkk

[yurimoka-art]

I'm not sure if your art requests are still open, but if I may, YOUR ART IS PEAKKKK and as such I wish to enquire:

This is my oc, they're married to the doctor in my au, and I was wondering if you could draw the pair? However you like (for a bit of context they're a dryad)! I feel very odd requesting this, SO PLEASE if you don't want to just ignore this!!

(⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+ Have a lovely day!!

Hello! Thanks for the compliment 🤗☺️

Your oc is so pretty! I love her outfit. It reminded me a bit of the Baroque and Rococo art aesthetic. Chic ✨️

[yurimoka-art]

@jingletheacrobat , here is Doctor with pigeons!

Another drawing for the drawing challenge. I'm having fun with the requests (It wasn't an ask, but since it was in the post's comments, I considered it one too).

[yurimoka-art]

Eu salvei essa por um tempo e lembrei dela quando você postou sobre as poses kkk, seria legal fazer com o Bil, o que você acha?

Era para ser um rascunho simples, mas no fim das contas, meu perfeccionismo me sabotou e eu fiquei mais de 2 horas nesse mesmo desenho kkkkkk.

Esse desenho me lembrou um pouco de uma antiga ideia minha de fazer algum personagem de tfc dançando tango.

[yurimoka-art]

I challenge you!

....

To redraw this lil picture in your style!

Tbh your art is really amazing 👏

Is that sheep my chibi sona? Is it me?! How cute! 💕

To do something different, I decided to draw the normal version of my sona, Moka.

And your octopus character reminded me a bit of Azul from Twisted Wonderland 🐙

[yurimoka-art]

How about for your drawing challenge that little sheep covered in loads of colors holding a brush and standing hyped up in front of a colorful canvas?

Aww~ it turned out cute.

This sheep is the mini version of my sona named "Moka Mussi" ⤵️
