Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
In the distant future, if you look for me, I will tell you then that you're forgotten. If you reprove me silently, I would say you're forgotten after being much missed. But, if you still reprove me, I would say you're forgotten because you're a past belief. You were not forgotten yesterday or today. But you would be forgotten in the distant future.
I was never really satisfied with the original because of the grey skin tone of my Shadow OCs at the time. It clashed too much with the pink backgroundโ because contrary to popular belief, grey looks horrendous with pastel colors.
But since I've changed the skin tones to more human-like colors, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to go back and fix what I didn't like. ๐
Of course, Buggy is Equinox's (and Sol's) future descendent. I always have fun doodling her and playing around with potential plot ideasโ but she doesn't really have much a canon story attached to her right now.
The most I really have is that her mom goes missing (somehow), and she ends up in the forest where Equinox lives. And because Equinox is an immortal god who looks out for his bloodline, she ends up staying with him for the time being.
Naturally as her great great great great grandfather, he spoils her rotten and lets her do whatever she wants. Made worse because the forest and everything in it has to obey her every whim because Equinox, the God of the Forest, willed it. So... of course, she thinks she's the princess of everything lol ๐
Zim! During your last few days of your life before you pass, what did you do last? Do you have any regrets?
Gir doesn't grow up to be the tallest or heaviest frylord, but he exceeded most everyone's expectations. He knows what taste good and he keeps up on his physical training, even if it's his least favorite part of his duties ^^.
Zim's final days were spent making sure the control brain system crashes beyond repair. He made sure to say his goodbyes to as many loved ones as possible.
I'm happy to finally share this! I was approached by Peter to make this piece for his Live A Live booklet project and it was an absolute delight. I was tasked with creating the art for the Distant Future.

โEnough deflecting!โ The young Torracat began, frustration showing on her face, โI mean it this time, Scythe! In one moment, you act like this intolerable jackass, full of pride and ego. The next moment, you become this charming, sweet guy. And I donโt want your excuses either. I want the truth.โ How annoying. She saw through a part of his perfectly crafted persona. The Liepard would have to twist this. Manipulate the situation. Taking a deep sigh, Scythe looked into her eyes.
โTorch, Iโm sorry.โ
โSo you do-โ a claw on her mouth paused her sentence.
โNo, Iโm not finished. Iโm sorry you developed a crush on the guy I pretended to be. I truly am. Not my intention.โ
โA crush?!โ The fur on the Torracatโs back flared up at the mention of this. โYou think I have some sort of crush on a Pokรฉmon like you?โ
โNo. Not on me. On the guy I pretended to be. Itโs clear you liked him. I mean, you keep trying to look for glimpses of him in me. Itโs silly really. The fact that you think Iโve been faking who I am for the entire time Iโve known you.โ He could see the seeds of doubt being planted in her. Perfect.
โYouโre lying again!โ
โI wish I could say I was. But itโs clear to me. Youโve become enamoured with this fictional version of me. And Iโm honestly quite hurt by this whole idea.โ
โWhat? But-โ
โNo, Iโve not finished. Stop interrupting. Iโm hurt by the fact that youโve developed this whole other side to me and have become attracted to this. I became this charming guy so then you wouldnโt have felt so alone that night. Because I felt bad for you. And now youโre out here believing that this lie youโve conjured up is me.โ Time to finally hit her hard with this. The Liepard needed to make her truly believe he was upset. โHow do you think I feel about this? Youโve developed this complex delusion just to find me the slightest bit bearable. Do you not see how shitty that makes me feel?!โ
โButโฆbutโฆheโs you.โ The Liepard smiled inwardly. Finally. He had her. All he needed to do was to say one more thing to cement this. So his persona would still work around her. Too bad the wrong words slipped out of his mouth.
โPlease Torch, you donโt even know what the real me is like.โ
This time itโs Cube from Live A Live . . . definitely an underrated RPG. Iโm playing through it now and Cubeโs chapter is one of my favoritesโgreat atmosphere and writing. And Cube himself has a great character design, heโs just a little guy who rolls around
This particular drawing is inspired by some of Cubeโs official art on the Live A Live wiki.
Discover the truth of a tragedy in space! Unravel a mystery in the Distant Future, just one of many stories found in Live A Live, coming to Nintendo Switch on 22/07.
I hate fiction that preaches how 'opposing death ends up in unnaturalness / subversively evil conclusions' - bitch science has helped us progress from the average Roman lifespan of 20 - 30 to the current 70 + in developed countries - and we are better off because of that. Imagine someone saying '20 years is a sufficient time to live and experience the joys of the world ๐' - that person should not be trusted.
And in the future, with DNA tech, it could be possible to bring back the dead with the remnants of their DNA.
Stories like that are so disgustingly anti - science and out of touch with reality and what people actually want. What kind of braindead zombie doesn't want to live longer ?
Only religous brainwashed idiots or fools who live in quixotic airy - fairy uwu la la land are anti - longevity.
What is tallest Redโs thoughts on being measured? Was Purple with him at the same time? What are the aftercare routine for such a stretch?
I wonder how they can breath with those really tight corsets. I think their organs are crying out for help.๐
How does one move up a rank from a starting point of being a service drone to becoming an advisor?
Since the control brains have new vessel bodies and taken full responsibility of the empire. Where does that leave the tallest? Will there no longer be more of them after Purpleโs reign is over?
After Spork was eaten and the whole empire went into lock down, Red was a little surprised that he and Purple were summoned to Jugmentia for a second measuring that time around. Excitement quickly set in. They were locked into their personal quateres (A tiny apartment) on the Viral at the time, as the Massive was not officially launched and inhabitanted yet. There were forty or fifty other drones close to their height, but apparently not close enough.
On Jugmentia all finalist are measured separately. Red was THRILLED when he was informed he measured up to tallest stature. He was ignorant of any real challenges and responsibilities that comes along with being a tallest. He was just excited for the power, luxuries, fame and snacks. He and Purple made a pact to promote the other to a high rank and keep in touch, whichever of them was measured tallest.
He was very upset to find out he would have to fight Purple to the death for the title. The red brain initially refused Red's request to rule as one unit as his plea seemed to be based on pure emotional attachment, but luckily, Purple managed to present a "logical" argument, which was Red and Purple both lacked life experience and in the categories where Red's personal stats were subpar, Purple excelled and vice-versa. Therefore they could rule the empire better as a duo. The control brains reluctantly accepted the argument.
The recovery period and aftercare for the surgical limb/ spinal stretching/ lengthening process is shorter than any drone would care for. Their PAKs pump enough pain killers into their flesh vessels to make it bearable enough for them to live through the lengthening process and the first binding/ adorning of imperial robes. Recovery also involves a lot of deep tissue massages and stretching exercises.
Besides that, being tallest is a pretty sweet deal. Especially if you're a drone that likes power, lounging and attention.
It takes a few months of binding/ wardrobe changing sessions and conditioning before Red and Purple could move normally or feel natural in their formal robes. They looked damn good and tall on their public debut though.
It IS hard for a tallest to breathe in their robes. (head canon) Their spooches are compressed. But again, they always look sharp in public even if prolonged periods of wearing corsets/ hovor belts can cause all kinds of injuries and physical complications. Luckily for Irkens, they can intake small amounts of air through their eyes to compensate.
To become the tallest's personal advisor, you would just have to apply for the job online by sending the red brain your personal stats when he updates the public occupational listings. They're constantly updating, depending on the position, so you just have to keep checking. Many drones don't know this, but even if there are no available positions for a job you would like, you can still submit your stats/ request to be put on a waiting list for first review.
To become an imperial advisor requires jumping through the same hoops you would to earn any occupational promotion. If you have already been encoded as an "unskilled" service drone, your name may be shoved to the bottom of the potential hire list. BUT, it never hurts to apply. The empire has its flaws but at least it's pretty easy to find a job and the option to transfer out for a better one is there, provided you have no criminal record and you apply in time. Unemployment is almost nonexistent there.
If the red brain considers you a possible fit for the job you will be required to take a series of holo-visor tests at your nearest red control brain hub. There may be a number of hours of required VR training too. Sometimes the tallest won't bother, but for a position on the tallest's personal staff*, you may have to attend an in-person, face to face interview with the tallest before the red brain officially hires and encodes you. (*advisor, coordinator, imperial medic, imperial pak technician, personal frylord ect, ect...)
Don't be intimidated about applying if you're short. Tallests actually prefer to keep shorter drones on their personal staff. Surrounding themselves with short drones make them look taller by comparison during live streams.
As for the control brain's next major upgrade, it WILL eliminate the position of almighty tallest. Purple is dethroned/ disgraced and forced to go into hiding.
The Control Brains never intend to measure another tallest after him. They will move about freely and have full control over the empire AND all PAK wearing drones.
(unless a drone's PAK has been altered or modified to stay severed from the control brains telepathic stronghold.)
Their ultimate goal is and has been to recreate the Irken race as a pure hive-mind with unwavering obedience and no room for defective behavior. It was just a matter of expanding the control brains' own mental capacities/ capabilities enough to perpetually process SO much incoming data at once. It took time, but to them, worth the wait. ( Not ALL Irkens are on board with this new regime for obvious reasons.)
