Over a year ago, I drew my first Rain World fanart! This is Zero Fables: The Superstructure in all its uhh... mouse-scribbled glory. Some of this is outdated of course, like the multiple chambers probably aren't a thing anymore, etc...
Shortly after drawing their structure, I'd give them a puppet design -
(on the left is one of their local group, Reflections of Drifting Light, or Drift for short.)
A headshot of the second picture used to be my icon! I almost named my blog zerofables as well, but I didn't want to use them as a mascot or anything like that, so I ended up going with Flicker instead.
Zero Fables is a part of an experimental local group stationed across an archipelago. They're an old, cryptic iterator who speaks in loops and tangents. In contrast to common teachings, Fables believes that the cycle is to be celebrated, and the true answer to the Great Problem - the ultimate escape from suffering - is to love existence itself.
Fables was dressed as an echo due to their relation with void fluid experimentation. It was a bleak warning for their possible end. But they didn't care, and they were pretty blasé about their opinions. Many of Fables' citizens hated that Fables did not fear becoming an echo like they did.
There's also the Mystic, a descendant of slugcats Fables purposed many years before. It and Fables have a special bond. Mystic has been my banner image this entire year actually...
Can't believe it's been this long already~

Thinking about the Son of Orchid and Child of Creation tittles, and how that represents how each brother was raised
Because Rae is the son of Orchid
He is Isla’s son
He was raised by her and has a lot of her traits
He has memories and writing of hers
And to the gods, he is clearly Isla’s son
But Icarus is not referred to as Isla’s, they are referred to as Creations
Because although they are technically Isla’s son, they weren’t raised by her
They weren’t allowed to be raised by her
They don’t even remember her
But they have many of Fable’s traits
Causing the gods to see them as Creations child, not Isla’s

oh. hm. i wonder if dark made grimm by himself because light refused to participate in creating anything destructive again after the jabberwalker—certainly it seems telling that in the myth, light creates a vast monoculture lawn and then declares that dark’s contribution of a moon and new biomes and plate tectonics is “spoiling” it; the myth flows from light’s presentation of himself to ancient humans and if he saw any value in these things he would surely have claimed them as his own—and then there’s the brother-cult framing that humans were given the capacity for evil (destruction) and good (creation) and the free will to choose which path to walk, always with the underlying premise that if humankind chooses wrong then they will “destroy themselves” (by earning annihilation at the final judgment)
this is in stark contrast to the narrative treatment of destruction as hunger and as an agent of change, and creation-without-destruction as, well, a vast monoculture lawn. sterile, stagnant, artificial, unalive.
(<- not a euphemism for “dead” and i resent that the word has those connotations now.)
to create is to destroy; paint, for example, is destroyed by the act of painting. you can’t ever use it as paint again. eating a meal is destructive—both in the sense that something living has to be killed, whether plant or animal, and in the sense that the food itself is destroyed. but this is the basis of all life. one eats to stay alive, to grow.
so in light’s view grimm are evil abominations because his brother made them to be destructive; to dark the grimm are embodiments of natural forces whose churnings keep the world forever in motion and therefore alive. jabber came out wrong—brutal, but effective, the blacksmith says—because light’s misapprehension of destruction influenced his nature. the grimm, created by dark alone, turned out right.
are they good? are they bad? they just are. the tides, the mountains, the deserts, the storms, earthquakes and volcanoes, the grimm.
meanwhile humans were given destruction by darkness and creation by light—the separation and recombination into one being was probably necessary to avoid a repeat of what happened with jabber—and then taught, by light, to understand their natures as a moral conflict and a moral challenge to rise above ‘evil’, i.e. destruction.
this is, of course, why light is so set on the necessity of permanent death: in his afterlife the dead are unaware and unalive, existing in everlasting stasis, and so nothing can ever be destroyed. darkness, who has never feared destruction, allows salem to glimpse the truth that life and death are a circle. and then he burns it all down and leaves her alive in the ashes, the wellspring of primordial destruction there for her to do with it as she will. and she does, and that is how mankind returns to life and how the faunus come to be.
which is the whole point. the grimm represent and embody pure destruction, hunger and change, which the brothers’ humans were taught to abhor as unnatural, evil abominations. salem becomes grimm and in doing so stakes humanity’s claim on destruction as darkness understood it, rejecting the false moral dichotomy light imposed on her generation. remnant is set free, and humanity rises phoenix-like from the ashes, unbound by death.
the brothers’ humans rebelled in order to claim the powers of their creators and perfect their own design. and she did.

Throwing this question to Tumblr:
Ulysses POV vods!! I’m currently pretty behind on their uploading because I’m still working on the cutscene for Episode 15: Unlocked. HOWEVER, the rest of the vods (16-20) are pretty much entirely completed.
Would people prefer I upload episodes 16-20, and then when it’s done, go back and upload 15 and just put it in the right order playlist-wise, OR, should I wait and simply post the whole backlog of vods in say, a month or two

I just wanna say,
I HAVE NEVER TRUSTED FABLE-
HE SHOWED UP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A CUT SCENE AND I SAID "oh hell nah this guy gives bad vibes."
I, the autistic who is naive and cannot read a room, knew this man was not to be trusted.
So, I'm proud of myself for that :3

I recently said goodbye to my fellow Fabled Few as my first ever D&D campaign came to end. In honour of our grand adventure, I thought I’d share the map I made that we used as our campsite on our travels! Hopefully some new heroes can take a well deserved rest using it <3
Better quality version here!

Astral Projection #1:
Title: Journey through Realms from Earth to Hell
The day began under the vast canopy of the azure sky, on the familiar crust of Earth’s surface. All around, the bustling sounds of a lively gathering filled the air. It was an ambiance reminiscent of a grand family reunion, where every face radiated warmth and kinship. This convivial crowd, a patchwork of old friends and new, shared laughter and…
