Okay, with the recent update of HungryHero.EXE and with the next part of MyBrother.EXE up and coming, I need to be blunt about something that I’ve been sort of neglecting to talk about and I think I should’ve put this out from the start.

CW: mentions of depression, self harm and suicide

I know that my AU’s have dark themes, especially with what’s coming up with MB. BUT even with these dark themes, and how dark this whole blog can get.

I would appreciate it if you guys don’t send stuff regarding self harm or suicide, even if you are joking or are genuinely curious about what’s happening in whatever story I’m sharing.

I myself suffer with depression and I have dealt with stuff like that, unfortunately, and usually things that talk about suicide or self harm make me feel uncomfortable or trigger some not good thoughts back. The only reason why it’s not that triggering for me to make stuff with it is because I know what triggers me and I try to keep that sort of stuff to the minimum or I just imply it, as well it’s mostly a form of venting for myself.

As well, I know that despite the people who do read my stories, I know most of them are either in a similar boat or are rather young. And while I don’t want children looking at my more dark work, I know I can’t stop it from happening. So I don’t want to share most of the stuff like that here.

I do appreciate any interaction I get on my posts, but stuff like that is not okay and I would appreciate that in the future any comments like this would be at least kept to a minimum. If I get any more they will be deleted.

That is all, thank you.

Please no asks about the reproductive cycle. (Ex in this case being periods.)

That's not to say there's anything wrong with these things, and many aren't even sexual and just a thing the body does. (Such as a period not being sexual)

Despite this, it does make members of the blog feel uncomfortable.

Again, there's a group of 8 REAL people working on this. Be mindful of their feelings and things they might be going through. Many of these members are minors too. Keep this in mind when sending asks as well.

Thank you.

THE ORIGINS OF BUDGIE CITY

Welcome to this informational article where I will be explaining what exactly this "Budgie City" is, where it came from, and in which direction it will be going. So, sit down comfortably - there are some interesting things waiting ahead of you! If you are interested in the lore, visit this article.

What exactly is "Budgie City"?

It is a fictional world that I am actively developing. At the moment, I’m in the process of writing it in the form of a paper draft. I write long texts by hand, and it seems to me that spelling out each letter, unlike typing, helps to approach the composition of sentences more thoughtfully, and to more successfully avoid strange and crooked constructions that will then have to be rewritten and corrected. It is far from the final, but I want to warm up people's interest in this world before the release of a full-fledged work, which is what I am doing now. I will not publish too many pieces of text until I have finished the story completely (though I probably will show some sneak-peeks). For now the content on "Budgie City" is mostly limited to drawings — concepts, sketches and character designs. Gradually, I've been starting to bring this topic to my YouTube channel in order to introduce the setting and concept to my viewers.

You may have seen my first video of Budgie City since 2014, which I have released quite recently — “I am not insane”, a video that focuses on one of the secondary conflicts of the story.

Where did this concept even come from?

It's quite a long story, and it's funny that this year is the ten year anniversary of me registering on the forum called "Budgie City". Yes, it all started with a regular internet forum — a by now almost extinct site format, which in the early 2000s and until about 2016-17 was the main place for interest groups on the internet. Now this has moved almost completely to social media, but before almost any hobby or interest had its own forum with different sections and topics. It saddens me a little that the golden age of forums has already passed.

In 2012, for the New Year, my parents bought me my first budgie — a classic green one, and I named him Gesha. At that time, I was not a regular "user" of the Internet yet. I only started to comprehend the vastness of the virtual network a few months later, and at first it leaned purely on me viewing memes in Google pictures and all sorts of videos on YouTube.

But in the spring of 2013, I discovered these wonderful things known as forums. And it was that point in time when I, having had a budgie with me for a year, decided to find a forum thematically fitting. Upon the request from my country, Google led me straight to the “Budgie City” forum.

The topics on there were something like rooms in a big house. The users randomly surfed through them and followed each other's daily lives. Therefore, Budgie City did actually feel really like being in a virtual society where everyone knows each other. I was getting used to the frequent people, getting to know each person individually. I went to their topics to write comments and answers, they wrote in mine. That's how we existed as this cozy club of interests.

There is an interesting thing with almost every child that is on the Internet — no matter where, in which community — a person with the admin/moder status is perceived as an absolute authority, any response from which causes awe and delight. And there were certain, more active and sociable admins in Budgie City — Anya under the nickname "Phoenix Bird" and Olga under the nickname "Olivka". The "Phoenix Bird" nickname spoke for itself — the image of a large bird of fire that walks around the city and receives admiring glances from everyone, was drawn in my head almost instantly. Olivka didn't have an image yet; I started turning her into a character much later.

Phoenix and Olivka in their modern designs (2022)

In the early summer of 2014, I read "Warrior Cats", and that’s where the whole story took off. I suddenly felt like I should become a writer too and write my own book. And 12-year-old me, who was spending 80% of my online traffic on the forum, decided to write a story, turning part of the admin staff and the budgies of familiar forum members into their own characters. Phoenix and Olivka turned into birds, the latter in particular acquired an image in the form of a wompoo fruit dove with olive-tinged wings, the budgies of the forum were also turned into their respective characters: Gesha and Yasha (mine); Glasha and Gosha (Hoatzin); Clementine, Jack, Fenya, Nira, Mouse, Castorka, Mithril and Small (Phoenix); Kuzya (Dmitriy68), Milana (Radujniy), Raisin (yyna) and others.

Sections of the forum have turned into parts of the city — the restaurant, the mayor's office, the registry office and nursery, and suburbs with parrots of other species, located on trees surrounding baobabs.

This is how the novel of the same name with the slogan "Feathered Metropolis" was born from the "Budgie City" forum. I posted it in its own topic, had about a dozen readers and, judging by the reviews, they all really liked reading the story. Although, looking back at the writing now... I wouldn't call it something breathtaking. Rather the opposite. But then again, I am now judging from the perspective of a third-year animation director student, and not the fifth grader I was at that time.

A couple of my original illustrations from 2014

The story was successfully brought to an end in about seven months, and after a while I started writing a sequel — however, the central conflict wasn’t thought out the slightest, so the plot quickly crumbled and was abandoned after several chapters.

Now the original text is lost in the vastness of the web — somewhere there is a piece of the prologue, somewhere even a couple of chapters. But the full version no longer exists — it was published only on the forum, and the said forum, unfortunately was — somewhere around 2019 — ruthlessly deleted from the Internet due to the desolation. All that's left of it are snapshots in the Wayback Machine.

Rewriting from the old version into a new one

In 2017, three years later, I made an attempt to rewrite "Budgie City" from scratch — leaving only the main conflict, the structure of the world, and the set of characters the same, to write a new text out of this "skeleton". Progress did not go beyond the prologue and the first chapter however, and rewriting was abandoned.

The same story with 2019 — a couple of pages, that’s all.

Two artworks from 2019

The next approach took till early 2021 to happen, when the original story turned almost six and a half years old. At that time I was already in the middle of my first year of animation directing at SPbGIKiT (Saint Petersburg State Institute of Film and Television). I wrote the prologue and part of the first chapter and went to proudly tell our master Galina Voropai about my "really cool" world. Galina interrupted me in the middle of the impromptu presentation, after which followed a forty-minute roast, thoroughly and in detail explaining that the "Budgie City" in its concept is a piece of junk that does not have the right to exist in its current form. And all this was in the presence of my classmates in the workshop. I gave up trying to defend myself halfway through, and when it was all over, I got up, quietly thanked Galina for a detailed objective analysis of the shortcomings of my project, went down to the first floor, huddled in a bathroom stall, and burst into tears.

It was the first (and yet the only) time in my life where I was literally crying over my work, and the girls from senior courses came to my howls, and we sat together on the windowsill of a public toilet. I was all red, shaking, and dropping snot, as they tried to calm me down.

(my mental state that day)

After that, I did not return to those written several pages for about a year and a half. I began to doubt whether I should continue at all or if it would just be a waste of time.

After the roast from the master, I went through all five stages of grief:

Yes, that was tough. But after so much time, I was finally able to evaluate the message of this scolding with a cool head and understand that most of the comments were actually really helpful - the conflict and the world did require a lot more careful study and rework. With the next approach, I wrote out all the conflicts, all the character motivations, and made a proper plan. And since the end of last autumn, I have returned to writing. Now I know where the story will begin, where it will head, and how it will end. All the actions performed by the heroes are finally based in actual logic. And, although Galina will not see the final result (she sadly passed away at the end of 2021), I hope that the new version will be one that she would have approved of.

A small FAQ:

Q: When will the book be released?

A: I don't want to make any promises as of now, because writing is a rather spontaneous and uneven process. I write more when I am inspired, and inspiration is impossible to predict. So the answer is simple — it will come out when it's finished :D

Q: Will it be released electronically or in a printed book form? Will I have to pay for reading it?

A: I plan to release the final version "Budgie City" in the same way as the old one — in open access, so that everyone can read it at any time. I will not charge money for reading the electronic version, but if there will be a demand for physical copies, I may release a small print run, which will cost money for those who want to get a copy. But it's a little early to think about that anyway.

Q: How does the world in Budgie City work? How do they live? What is the main conflict of the story?

A: All of this you can find out in this article!

Q: Where can I find more content to this world and story?

A: On this very blog or on my YouTube channel

I hope this article was helpful and informative enough for you to know where "Budgie City" comes from and in which direction it is currently heading. Thank you for reading!

• Certain candidates were deliberately excluded because they were either:

A) Too popular and would obviously sweep (Solaire, Artorias, Abyss Watchers etc.)

B) Not enough room. I wanted 48 candidates max because I didn’t want this tourney to go on for as long as the monster one.

• Round 1 was decided by me chucking the list into a randomiser and separating them into pairs.

• Not interested in seeing posts? Block or filter ‘fromsoft armoured babes tournament’.

• Try not to slander other characters on polls. It’s not very pleasant and also doesn’t help your character win.

• List of those that didn’t make it into the main tournament.

I have been informed of a very minor handful of folks who have been either stealing my artwork or have been posting it without credit, and with this I would like to clarify what sites I am on

Currently I am on Tumblr, Twitter, Youtube and TikTok (all with the same/similar name) I do have an account on Deviantart, but that is very old and I don’t use it anymore

Anything posted on any platform outside of these- unless stated otherwise- is not me and I would appreciate it if anyone would help get these posts taken down, posted with credit, or at least inform me of them

During the early hours on Tuesday, darkness will slip across the face of the moon before it turns a deep blood red. No, it isn’t an Election Day omen — it’s one of the most eye-catching sights in the night sky.

Anyone awake in the United States will have a front-row seat as the sun, the Earth and the moon line up, causing the moon to pass through Earth’s shadow in the last total lunar eclipse until 2025.

Rules/Information

• Vote for the hottest monster, the one you want to FUCK NASTY STYLE, not your favourite character (if they overlap, good for you).

• Vicar Amelia is banned from the tournament because she heals during her boss fight AND stole Cleric Beast’s theme.

• No character slander in the tags. It’s much better to write nice things about your favourite and also more in the spirit of the tournament.

• Feel free to send in propaganda- I’ve turned asks (including anons) and submissions on so people can do so. Keep in mind that I have to read it…

• ‘What about ___?’ ‘Where’s ___?’ ___ is not in the tournament and won’t be added. We excluded certain monsters because they didn’t fit the criteria and/or they would realistically sweep all other competitors. What’s the point in hosting a tournament if you know who the winner is going to be?

• Fed up with seeing the tournament in the game tags? Not interested in it? Filter ‘hottest fromsoft monster’ and/or block this sideblog.

• I’ll be separating the bigger rounds up into chunks seeing as there’s 32 polls for Round 1.

MAY THE HOTTEST MONSTER WIN ‼️‼️

Hello, everyone. :D

First of all, I hope you are all doing good. I wanted to deeply apologize for not posting art recently, I've been quite busy and health wasn't helping at all so I haven't had the energy or strength to pick up a pencil and do something. I'm trying to recover as soon as possible to be able to, well, do art for all of you. Hopefully, I will be posting something soon, maybe I'll finish drawings I left behind or start with the multiple requests I've been sent.

That's all, you guys are the best. I love you.

Alright, lately I have been busier than usual and I am going to stay busier than usual for a fair bit of a while, so things will be a bit slower than I’d like it to be. But I think that I should give you all an update for what’s happening with HungryHero.EXE.

This au is going to now be told in a series of acts. Each act is going to lead up to a major point in the story. At the moment, act one is going to be about 7 parts, starting from the end of the prologue to the story. So far I don’t have much planned up past act 2, but there are bits and pieces.

With the new acts and reworking parts of the story, a lot of things that were made before the rework are either going to be completely not cannon, moved to a new part, or reworked entirely. But pretty much everything is going to have a new comic with it.

For those who want a definitive answer to what is changing and what is not, pretty much everything after Tails’s death is still cannon to some extent, most of it is just dialogue change.

Once act one is done, I’ll be creating a hyperlink post and reblog it when every new act is completed. That way you can see the definitive timeline as it comes. Every new update to the story now is the definitive cannon, unless I say otherwise. There will be no more remakes and whatnot unless I absolutely have to, which is unlikely.

And there you have it! Every new piece of information regarding the HungryHero.EXE story! Nothing more or less will come out of it.

Nobody has done this yet, but I'm posting about it because the UTMV agereverse could easily be confused as a general tag.

With that said, if you ARE posting about my AU specifically, then you should use the tag!
