Post #12 - A Simple Silhouette Exercise

just a question, ive been seeing lots of discourse in the comments of immature interest. whats ur thoughts on it? i mean, is your story meant to erotic? is it meant to be critical of the actions of the characters? cause theres some people saying "its like that to show how fucked up they are" while other people are like "i wanna see them do this taboo thing". just curious, as the author, where u stand in all of this.

Absolutely none of my stories are intended as smut unless I state otherwise. I think people tend to grow confused because I depict situations in a detailed and graphic manner, and we’re often in the heads of the predators and how they view the situation.

I tend to hope that my depicting the harmful psychological effects the victim’s suffer through afterwards, how the world around them reacts to the events (ex.: Knuckles going to the cops after Sonic tells him he raped Amy despite him not wanting to see his best friend go to prison) and just the antagonistic nature of the predators make it clear the story isn’t praising them. We’re supposed to hate Sonic and Shadow in Immature Interest. We’re supposed to feel uncomfortable when Sonic fantasizes about harming Tails. We should despise Vanilla for what she did, and we shouldn’t want Shadow to succeed in the end.

I don’t often care to moderate my comments as people are free to call me and my story gross all they want, or praise it, or I guess ask that Tails have his prostate stimulated by the doctors or whatever.

Personally, my fanfics are outlets, and I find comfort in writing the things that I do. Just because I can write these detailed horrific situations doesn’t mean I fantasize about them, or want them inflicted on anyone, quite the opposite actually. That is like stating all horror authors are serial killers because they write about murder. Clearly, this is not true.

Thanks for this ask, btw! I hope this clears up a lot of confusion. :)

do we every find out who gastor was upset at? were they a skeleton? or retired colleague?

We will find out who this mysterious someone is, and eventually what happens to them, later on. It won’t be in this chapter though, so if I only draw this first one and write the rest we won’t get to have visuals on them. If I don’t draw anymore chapters I’ll be sure to at least draw this mysterious someone after they are revealed.

So here is where I will stop the first chapter because...*drum roll*...Fawn is going to remain a comic! The past week and half of uploads have shown me that it is possible to get a good 20+ pages done, and not feel overwhelmed, so I'm in it for the long haul!

Of course, this doesn't guarantee frequent uploads, but it does mean that I'm moving the goalpost for myself with the hope of finishing chapter 3 by the end of the year. It also means we'll get to visually see all characters introduced in Lugubriosity, which will be a ton of fun for me to reimagine.

So! The next step is getting that scrolling page done and making a post linking to it. Once that's completed, I'll continue to post lumps of finished pages of future chapters, as I've been doing with chapter 1, to allow you guys to give feedback before everything is transferred to the page scrolls. Sounds pretty nice, huh?

Also, what do you guys think of Starlah? Does she play a big role in future events? Maybe, maybe not, but gosh if she isn't a fun way to envision the birth of a gas giant.

His father marched out of that dance studio with thunderclouds above his skull. “Ungrateful bitch!” He spat under his breath. “If she thinks she can worm out of this just willy-nilly, then she’s dumber than she looks.” The mumbling went on for half a mile. 

Neither Sans nor Papyrus dared to interrupt their father’s tantrum. They followed like a silent shadow, both knowing they’ll probably get it once they got home. What would “it” consist of exactly? It was hard to tell when their father was sober. If the boy were lucky, they’ll only get a smack across the face. 

Scene two will be the shortest, and mainly consist of Gaster fuming because of an off-screen conversation that went south. We won’t get a glimpse of what the boys are thinking, but my goal is to tell a story through the visuals (which is what a comic is, but this is definitely my first crack at it). It would be neat to slip in some world building background shots too. 

I’m torn on whether or not Gaster looks like Gaster. I asked my sister, and she didn’t know who he was, (ha!)  but after I showed her some examples of the character she was on the fence. As a layperson with zero experience of the fandom, she could at least recognize him as being Gaster with a slight variation. What about for fans with knowledge of the character? Would it be obvious, or a bit of a stretch?

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. 

Post #4 - Ready, Set, Go

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

In the interest of preventing this blog from becoming a place to dump my fanart, I have put together a loose roadmap so I (and you) know what stages are ahead. I will go into more detail in individual posts a little later. 

Starting off, I obviously need a story. I have an idea of what I want this first chapter to be, (and when speaking only in terms of the comic, the first chapter is what mainly matters) but it’s the finer details that are still lost on me. 

What AU will I use? Will the story be a sequel or a reboot? Should the different resets factor into this fanfic, or should Papyrus be a pedo from his very inception? 

For the sake of not complicating matters too much, I will ignore these questions, (bad idea, I know) and instead the above roadmap will only focus on the skeletal structure (heh) of the fanfic. We’re building the foundation of the world, establishing characters in relation to each other, throwing in a bit of foreshadowing for later, and that will be about it. We’ll consider the meat and potatoes as the story develops further, and that will be beyond the comic.

What joy plotting can be.

♫ - More music because why the hell not.

I'm totally overposting today, but I found this! And omg! I really like the art style I was going for with it. I think that's Edge (left) and Stretch (right).

Anyway, I need to get out of that folder, because I found a "manga" I was working on (what the fuck!!!!) as well as like art from an old Instagram account from my first year of college that I can't even remember if I deleted or not. But man if that art isn't edgyyyy.

oh yeah, baby...wasn't I just cringe, but I'm loving it. I'm here for it.

I might need to make a second blog to dump all this art onto. So maybe this will be the last un-fanfic related thing on this account? Idk man. That'll take work and there isn't like a rule against shitting up my own feed with art that has fuck all to do with Fawn, right? Right?!?! What are rules anyway?

ETA: I also found flipping porn I drew of Sans getting—okay! So anyway that probably won’t see the light of day.

Post #8 - Pink Elephants

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

This post is about two days late, but I have a good excuse for that; work, work, work. Now that I'm on a bit of a holiday break I can see about returning to daily posts, or at least getting the next scene out in a timely manner.

Beyond work holding me up, I binged the latest season of The Handmaid’s Tale yesterday. I wanted to say that it could serve as a great resource for this story, but I don't want this fanfic to be anywhere near as hopeless as that show. I love it, but its total misery porn, and a person can only handle so much misery before it starts to effect their mental health. So Fawn will take some inspiration from the mentioned while following a more heartening tone.

We have the concept for scene four above. Papyrus will come downstairs with his shirt buttoned, lace up his boots, and remind Sans not to be late for his million side jobs (or complain about something equivalent depending on the AU). He’ll leave, and Sans will continue with his slacking off. The television will be on, we get a shot of a ballerina taking a bow, as Sans snorts, smokes, or injects Dust in somewhere or another. 

All of the finer details of this scene will really depend on the AU we choose. I didn't think it would be such a hindrance, but its turning out to be one. What I do know is that Sans drug addiction is fundamental to the story just like Papyrus’ pedophilia, so it honestly doesn't matter what we ultimately settle with. Sans will still be a junky. 

I checked on my stats today to find I now have over 20 followers! It was just last week that I was celebrating 10. I want to thank everyone for sticking through with this so far. I hope to keep it up until the very end of the project.

Post #1 - Flaming Hot Cheetos 

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

Okay! So I know I said in this story update that I would wait until after my vacation to get started on this project, but I have been absolutely obsessing over plotting this out that I just couldn’t help it. I felt fired up, so what better way to kick things off than with some nude (please don't kill me Tumblr) sketches of fire sprites? I’m debating whether or not to push a more monster or human element to their designs while still keeping them recognizable. 

Grillby had a total of three appearances in Lugubriosity, yet he helped move the plot along way more than I was initially planning. I'm still on the fence about whether or not Fawn should be a sequel or a soft reboot, but I definitely want to handle him in a more fleshed out way this go around. 

Fuku, on the other hand, has had it rough since her brief introduction. Like her uncle, (father? Whatever the fuck he is to her in the story) she's only had three appearances, and served as nothing more than a damsel in distress. I’ll definitely need to change that.

I hope to eventually get a poll up to see if they should stay as tertiary characters, or play more of a significant role in our fucked up plot. I guess we'll have to see. 

On a closing note; haha! I knew I wasn't the only one who got creepy vibes from Papyrus! Toby was soooo gonna make him a perv at first. See for yourselves.

Thank you so much, angela1066, for bringing this gem to my attention.

So I know these posts are supposed to have 5 in them, but I got so cheeky with my art last night and this morning, that I'm gonna be a bit impatient with this one. Typical, huh?

Thoughts on the narrator? Is he too annoying? I feel like he's annoying.
