We Will Not Burn - Tumblr Posts

my friends (@sekiyo @sagit---taurus @lemonorangelyr @crunchy-lesbun @omaticwriting) and i ended up associating a suspicious amount of mitski with our igf campaign for some reason (several combined hours of rotation) . here's a list (which im guessing will only continue to grow as our collective brain mold grows)

a burning hill

because dreaming costs money, my dear

i'm your man

my love mine all mine <- less about the campaign and more about a specific pc (alice, crunchy-lesbun's character)

goodbye, my danish sweetheart <- kinda like just a snippet of it but shhh

heat lightning

last words of a shooting star <- also more about a specific pc i think (s'more, sekiyo's character)

a horse named cold air <- character associated with it hasn't appeared yet but gm (sekiyo) vagueposted about it so

Trick or treat, cat?

what do you think, rabbit

my scholarly physique and delicate constitution are not well-suited to questing, but they keep me around because i’m very good at saying ominous and unsettling things at significant moments

they're very normal !!!

finally found the motivation to draw and color them

HI sorry for the late response i have been agonizing over this for weeks <- anxiety

anyways i think it's best if i begin with a preface from our esteemed gm @sekiyo:

i think we agreed that our playthrough is even weirder in context so uhm . i'm just gonna explain what we've shared on tumblr. but if you want more context anyway feel free to ask 👍 in particular @crunchy-lesbun is VERY excited to share about buns blorbos

anyways i'll try going through this chronologically:

this very post oh god do i have to explain everything . fine okay - a burning hill: do i need to explain this . i am the fire, i am the forest, and i am a witness watching it. i stand in a valley watching it. and you're not there at all - because dreaming costs money, my dear: in the scenes preceding the tachyon, marthe (callsign 9 thermidor) (@sagit---taurus's pc, as mentioned) had an extensive breakdown because she's from fourthcomm and knew feather. in the scene immediately preceding it i (as my pc sou spacious lynk, callsign alsciaukat) referenced this song because i was listening to mitski for hours recently at the time. to comfort her. we will manage somehow. seki even commented that the scene is really pretty with this song. i can still smell the fire. though i know it's long died out. the smoke still hangs in my hair. and on some quiet evenings it burns my eyes. yeah . - i'm your man: you believe me like a god; i'll destroy you like i am. - my love mine all mine: alice (as mentioned, @crunchy-lesbun"s pc) sang this while we were unwinding from the tachyon with a karaoke. her homebrewed bond is the lover and a lot about her is about loving. she is our polycule recruiter. - goodbye, my danish sweetheart: as i said, just a snippet and several combined hours of rotation . there's some kind of burning inside me; it's kept me from falling apart. and i'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart, but it's kept me from falling apart. - heat lightning: honestly this one's just vibes and SO MANY combined hours of rotation. sorry. i think it's understandable once you've rotated it enough though - last words of a shooting star: i quoted this when seki mentioned that s'more (its pc) keeps draer apartment pretty much unchanged so that, in the event that drae dies, drae does not leave much to clean up. seki agrees - a horse named cold air: vagueposted character has been revealed. the leviathan. please note that our group LOVES fucking around and finding out and thus we found out about A Lot of things before we should have. anyways the vibes do check out i think

trick or treat pt 1 marthe is. eccentric. a weirdgirl who lacks a sense of personal space. i say this affectionately. anyways yeah she's in a relationship with alice, as is like half of the team and several npcs

trick or treat pt 2 these are alice and cŵn annwn, an enemy npc from the capella fight that we got attached to and subsequently recruited to the polycule and team. she's graduated to a pc now by the way, still played by seki of course

trick or treat pt 3 i don't think i need to explain this. fuck rodericke steele all my homies hate rodericke steele. as a side note we might kill him soon (on ch 3 rn)

trick or treat pt 3.33 no relation to the previous trick or treat i just think it's a shame if it's not 3. anyways the other players don't know what characters this vaguepost is about yet. as a side note, this ransom note meme is made from snippets of yi sang's poems. yi sang the real life author wrote a lot of poems about mirrors

trick or treat pt 4 another reference to alice and cŵn annwn. also only tangentially related but sagit---taurus told me to mention that annwn was a farmgirl. so there's also that i guess

trick or treat pt 3.33 pt 2 seki didn't tag this with #in golden flame but. more dogmirror posting. wink wonk

FALLING, FALLING, FALLING INTO THE FLAMES at least seki and i are fans of the mechanisms and their song titled hellfire is so good and like. y'know. apocalyptic fire. and attempts to prevent it. i couldnt not brainrot about it. why alsciaukat? their bond is (a variant of) the magus and. yeah

more alsciaukatposting wooo my silly little pc, yeah. i use this as their tupper pfp now btw

vickposting i think @omaticwriting explained it pretty well already

my hinged character with a normal backstory who is definitely not currently Going Through It as we tread through chapter 4

sometimes you just gotta black out and make designs for some random ass npcs (they are all long dead (beyond dead (it may be a fate worse than death)))

edit: haha Hi i made. more of these. sorry

hello character who is desperate to be a good person; i want to play a game. in front of you is the one person you will never be able to save. you have the rest of your life to make peace with this. there are no defined repercussions if you fail, but we both know you're going to attempt to win regardless. your time starts now

hello everyone i . did it again

bonus doodle under cut

!!! gladly!!! i feel very honored holy shit here's a portrait of them together i made for an animatic/lyric comic i'm currently brewing (the brainrot runs that deep)

(drawn over/heavily referencing the league of nine portrait from limbus company since haha mirrors)

the glitchy lynxthing is SCHRODINGER'S LYNX, aka my pc ALSCIAUKAT in the past, and you can use them also if you want

also, here are some tidbits of info @sekiyo provided — you can change or disregard this as you see fit of course

AVERSION COMPLEX: they/he; loner (having a complex about aversion, you could say). pilots a Specter

Operamandible (i fucked the capitalization up): she/they/it; admires CAUSTIC and sees them as a role model. pilots a Hive

T|GHTL||SH: he/it; former architect on the icebreaker who grew disillusioned with the world. a bit overly friendly. pilots a Rainmaker

[Esc]: she/they; new to the Circuit and greatly fears death. pilots a Witch

and here are the ones from the second part

END.repeat(end);: they/them; somewhat distant, and was initially presented as a "Perfect Hisarii… you think". later revealed to be a genuine to god follower of the Leviathan. pilots a Rainmaker

Synaptic_Static: it/they + radio neos; sigdiver who speaks in stitched broadcast fragments. hates relying on others. android by the lancer definition. pilots a Hive

Conductive Noose: she/they; acted as TRIPLE-POINT's main communicator until CAUSTIC came along. pilots a Mirage

and the lynx:

SCHRODINGER'S LYNX: they/it/lynx. has a weird relationship to the Circuit; calls themself a 'starlighter' to reflect this. lives by the life motto of fuck around and find out. in our playthrough, it was spared from The Horrors because a part of TRIPLE-POINT saw hope in lynx, though this is... probably Not the case elsewhere

apologies for my inability to keep responses short. i may be autistic
