Drew this to distract from stressors, that day.

Was highly disregulated, at the time.

Been trying to make intentional time to draw fun things & not just sad stuff all the time, lol.

"PINWHEELS"

Once you make it big, in whatever way you've dreamed it, you still have to work to maintain it.

And you still might lose it, even after you get there.

But it's still worth it to try, I think.


If no one's told you that before, than you can know it, now, if you want.


For me, I suppose living is an enxperience, in itself.

Not much has ever made sense, to me, I think.

But I still try.
I guess I don't always know why, though.
I just like to do what feels right.

I don't always know if it's just me, or something external of me, keeping me alive.

But I mean, hey.
It's got me thus far, whatever it is, right?

Sometimes something unexpected happens, and it helps.
Who knew, eh?

Guess my head'll just keep spinnin, if that's what it takes for me to keep moving.

Maybe nothing will ever make sense.

I think that's okay, if it's what truly comes to pass.

Computa machines r cool n' shid, but personally I don't verymuch care for them to do any of the thinking "for" me, let alone -anything- in regards to creative pursuits.

I'd much rather just throw the TV in the lake, you know?

If I don't know how to do something, I prefer to take the time & learn it myself, firsthand.

I understand not everybody ~likes~ to learn things,, but,,,,,

Sometimes making art about the impulsive things is better than actually doing the impulsive things.

I'd rather imagine punching a wall and glass surfaces than actually do it.
(Though tempting as it may be)

Drawing things like this helps mitigate impulsuve urges, prevent damage to my body and belongings, ~and~ keeps me out of jail!

"EXPULSION" #KEY #BPD #digitalart #alien #writing
Trigger warning for Emetophobia on the next slide etc.Alt. version without the acid, Key with his mouth open, making an excruciating expression."EXPULSION"

TW - EMETOPHOBIA
TW - EMETOPHOBIA
TW - EMETOPHOBIA

Key purging his mind, his body, and his soul, removing in entirety, all the vile thoughts of the past, once more, bit by bit, in acid, soon to be cleaned, to heal furthermore than before.

Making space for new memories...
For now there are reasons to hold such a desire, to feel cleaner on a stronger level.

The awful sludge that prior resided within, of which consistently renews itself, at times, exibiting it's usual colorful sheen. Exiting from the mouth it was once forced to enter, in a prior format.

It has decreased in volume, over time.

But on this particular day, it was quite a lot to handle.

******

"That wasn't enough..."
Key says, wiping his mouth, staring blankly ahead, not looking below, at the mess. He swallows roughly, throat sounding raw, taking a breath.

He looks up without moving much, from the spot he's planted himself, on his knees.

Side-eye, viewed from a higher angle down at him, he holds up his open palm, patiently gesturing for another of what the one looking cautiously down at him is holding another from something in that little... Innocuous... Orange bottle, held lightly in their cautious hands.

A harsh contrast, to that of Key's own.

"...Gimmie another... ...I'm not done, yet." Key says, his tone sounding at an absoulute depth.

Come back when I am lucid.

"What if I never wake up?"

That's okay, then.
You'll die knowing you did your best.

"-You- come back, or -I- come back, later?"

Whatever works.
Don't waste the time, if you don't have it.

"You sound so cynical."

Maybe I am.
Sometimes I am...
Sometimes I am.

I know he loves me.
Don't worry... I won't forget.

"What about the other way round?"

Of course I do.
You question my devotion??

He just needs rest.

And so do you.
-I- can provide you that.

"What if he's gone, when you come back?"

Than I keep going.
I wouldn't hold it against him.
I know it's a possibility, how could I fault any of his descisions?

"What if everything has changed, by then?
What if you're 100 years older?
What if you're dead, by then?
What if--"

Not all the time, as I'm tempoerary, ofc, but it's alright, sometimes.

And if it becomes oversaturated, I may not be, anymore, so one of The Others will handle it, after that.

But I can take the brunt of the immediate disruption, you know~?

Why would I wanna hurt anybody else?

No reason to.

I may run my mouth, a little, but if it's all the same to you, you can tell me to keep it to myself, and I'll manage.

You know how I handled it??
I just... I dunno.. Kept going.

I dunno.
"Sit down, shut up, nobody cares, get over it, etc"

I'd never say that to anyone else, no--
I'd never DREAM of it.

But if I say it to myself, it feels nostalgic, and pisses me off to handle whatever the problem is, anyway, without doing what my predecessors did to make ~ME~ this way.

...You know what I mean?

So,, really, it's okay. :]

Don't think too hard about it.

"Karry -- The FINAL Alter"

The FINAL final boss, if you will.

Also answers to "Butterfly"
(albeit reluctantly)

The Oracle, stargazer, past-seer, all-knowing, but only of the now and the past, for only Vessel can predict the future.

She exists in the present moment, and her appearances have only been fleeting, very recently, so far.

But I feel she has begun to hold further purchase on this realm, each time I feel her near.

After all, she was quiet for a long time.

Karry embues the spacey, almost mystical feelings of:
"Nothing exists, and neither do I, but that's okay."

The embodiment of being at peace within the self, the true calm within the storm, the end goal, the healed, the one in which strides to make peace with are deeply encouraged, etc.

******

Places they all exist, now, being:

The "Legacy" Set (the first set who emerged)

The Basement Crew
(secondary set that emerged)

The Grey Area
[VESSEL's domain, separate, not up or down, but closer to down]

And now
"The Starry Zone"
Or
"The Here and Now"
(in which only Karry inhabits, not up or down, but closer to up)

Each side holding an A-side and B-side, so that's roughly about 24, I think.
Give or take.

(But Vessel and Karry don't have a B-side... I think. Idk, yet.)

Opposite of being at peace within the chaos.

Riding out the storm until it is gone, again.

Sometimes hiding is better than dying.

"Many Forms // The Reality Tether"

I used to not want to exist, anymore.

I used to like the idea of not existing, while my art could flourish without me being in it.

Little did I know, there were bits and pieces of me scattered throughout all of my work, of which I never knew to see.

My own peices were there all along.
They just needed a bit of time to recollect themselves.

I probably have felt this way before.
And I may feel this way, again.
As everything changes, & rearranges, throughout time.

I like myself, now.
I love myself, now.
And I never thought i'd live long enough to feel this way.

I have taken many forms, over the years.
Some intentional....
Some unbeknownst to me.
All unequivocally, a translation of myself, if anything.

Sometimes it feels odd to exist at all.
Sometimes I still feel not real.
Sometimes I feel as if I exist outside my own life, watching from the outside in.

But I feel connected, today.

To Myself.
To My Love.

And,, somewhat, to the world around me.
If only a little bit.

If only a little bit...
It's the closest to anything i've ever felt, at all, I think.

I feel like I woke up, again, and this time as myself.

I will change, again, in time...
Of this i'm sure.
As all change is inevitable.

But, for now.
For -today-.

I am -here-.
-Present-.
And I -want- to be.

I'm calling this phase of my life "The Reality Tether" as I will not abandon the worlds i've created, but I also want to step into -this- world, more often, as well.

Balance things out, & see where it takes me.

It's been a long time...
I missed you.
And I'm happy to be back. :)💖

"Hide & Seek - New Labrynth"

"There's no ceiling, here. Just black, where the sky should be." Spike says, looking up at the flat, empty expanse above them.

"When did you get here?! Get out!" Static exclaims, not liking the idea of visitors.

Static's hand immediately magnetizes to 9-Volt's, just after saying this.

He glares down at their hands.

9-Volt smiles brightly.

Static glowers at him, with a deeper frustration than before.

Ghost had fled, just as they arrived, far more upset by the sudden company than Static.

"Startled, perhaps." Vessel adds.

"Oh-! Ghost knows the way out...

But you gotta find him for him to give you the answer." 9-Volt remembers, looking bright-eyed.

"So -he- likes to hide, now, huh? Too much sun, too quick, I guess." Static adds.

Holding hands, the twins guide Spike, a newly-deemed, (and hopelessly lost) mediator.

"Spike seems to be getting more responsible.
I commend him, for that." Vessel narrates, out of sight, from much farther away.

Spike can hear his larger, endlessly-stretchable counterpart shamelessly slithering over himself, as he recluses further, most likely curling tightly into himself, somewhere within the neon blue shadows, hoping no one will find him, and simply "go away".

"S-shut up, you idiots..." Spike chastizes the twins, as they begin to squabble over who's fault it is that they've found themselves downstairs, again.

"...Let me think." Spike says, holding the left side of his forehead, as they stumble through this new ever-turning landscape.

"Don't talk too loud~! Ghost will be able to tell you're listening for him." 9-Volt chimes, innocently, being obnoxiously loud, himself, in the process.

"At least this one is prettier than the last..." Spike grumbles, as they turn corner after corner, passing by neon blue cinderblock walls and bright pink glowing neon-light signs, denoting a language foreign to any of them.

"SPIRITUAL SUCCSESSOR!"

"...That doesn't really make any sense, does it?" 9-Volt states rhetorically, smiling blankly, after posing for the camera for the snapshot.

In direct and deliberate contrast to Static, the inside of 9-Volt's mouth is dark with oversaturated colors, same as the ones that make up his body's secondary colors.

Dark green, turquoise, and blue.
The placement of these colors  shifts around like electricity, in the same way the secondary colors of his headflame does.

Inside of Static's mouth is all pure white, with no definition, teeth, or tongue.

9-Volt has all of the features of his mouth's internal structures properly defined, the colors being the only things that shift about as he goes about what he does.

9-Volt's body is all white, save for his pink, often sketchy or "scratchy" lineart.

9-Volt likes to talk so much that sometimes he doesn't even process what he's about to say before he says it, and can make himself laugh with nonsense, at times, when he's in a very activated state.

A sharp contrast to Static, who seldom speaks at all, if not only to hiss or grumble about things.

Sometimes 9-Volt speaks for him, as they can share eachother's thoughts while they both agree to it.

They -are- twins, after all.

They exist moreso as "lens" alters, who do not have an outward prescense.

9-Volt is mania and Static is depression.

Static is not around so much, these days, but he is still very much here.

He lies dormant, I think.

Which is good, because he doesn't really like being around, anyway.

"Embarrased to exist, guilty for being alive, etc" 9-Volt chimes in.

...Yeah that.

Shelving the website idea, for now.

I'm too old for all that beep-boop technical computer jargain.

So i'm making a Patreon~!

It's already halfway set up, actually.

Everything will be free to view, and payment tiers will be optional, ofc, providing extra stuff for those who are inclined~

I will be hosting my comics there!

I'm not concerned with the money part, honestly, and mostly just like how organized it is, there, all in one place. :>

Once it's set up, i'll nudge ya with a link to it~!

Very excited!!!

3 FG eps are already complete, dating back 2+ years, now, & Key ep 1 (part 1) & 90% of ep1 (part 2) are done, too, now!

So very excited to show you, soon~! 😁✨

"NO CEILING"

Out from the basement.
They can relocate easier than expected, it seems.
It -is- in their nature is to adapt, after all.

"We've had plenty of practice, thus far.~"

******

The basement dwellers go outside.

Static stood in the shade and took the photo.
(fearful he may dissolve if he stepped into the light, which he verywell could have)

Spike didn't like being in it, but he turned to stare directly at the camera anyway, bc he felt like he had to.

9-Volt got so excited that he tried to rush and get closer to the camera right before Static pressed

*click!*

"Who let these idiots out of their cage lol"
9-Volt said, intentionally mocking Spike, jabbing him with his elbow obnoxiously.

Spike then slowly directed his agitatedly happy glare at 9-Volt.

His neck made a sliding-stone sound as he turned towards 9-Volt, his expression unchanging.

Ghost was too busy laughing manaically to care, actively ignoring Static as he stretched himself up as high as he could, reaching his arms up and out, getting as close to the sun as physically possible.

I think this is the first time any of them had ever been outside.

It was a good day. :]

"Both at the same time" #KEY #OSDD #shapeshifter #traditionalart #traumacore
"Both At the Same Time"

Doggy & Keygen.
Both present at the same time.
Taking a break on the floor together.

I've noticed, as of late, sometimes more than one alter can be present.

Not just them, though. For instance, sometimes it's Doggy and King, Doggy being from the toroso down and King from the midsection division to all the way up.

Sometimes it can be the left hand is being utilized by one, and the other by another.

In this instance, Doggy and Keygen are blended more closely, their respective spaces in the body less properly defined.

Doggy is most outwardly presenting, but his headflame and some aspects of his face and expressions are overrided by Keygen's presentation.

I think the migraine confused them both as to who-was-supposed-to-be-present-for-what-reason, at that time.



You'd think this would illicit a "tearing apart" kind of feeling, but it's moreso like "confusion, but still working together."

It's this way, in my case, anyways.

Unusual morning, it had been, as they can be, at times.

"CONTAIGIOUS"

Joseph holds Key's face, petting his thumb along his jawline.

Key blinks, coming back from wherever he was.

-It's night, now.-
Key thinks.

Moving his gaze up from the hand holding his face, seeing none other than the face of his mate, smiling back at him.

His expression is a soft, patient smile.
His filmy, scratchy eyes match his own.

But he looks relieved.
Like all the tension he was holding just left, as Key looked to him with renewed clarity.

Key blinks again, his eyes moving around a bit more easily as he climbs back from his stupor.

He furrows his brow in worry, seeing as both their eyes match, now.

"...I'm contaigious." Key states plainly.

Joseph giggles, shaking his head, smile unwavering.

"It's okay, love. ....I think I'm immune~🎶" Joseph replies, in a playful, sing-songy tone, resting his hand on Key's shoulder, now looking away, smiling as he says this.

"BLACKHOLE SUN"

black, purple, red, white, pink, grey.

Acid bleeding from Key: 9-Volt and Static combined, while still partially himself.

Reclining, laid back in the air, one knee bent, one hand over his eye, long sharp fingers.

Normal-ish face, dull burgundy and faint grey inner flame, scratchy, filmy eyes, slightly electrified.

Smiling, dark green and purple sheen from the acid which bleeds down his chin, stilted, looking towards to the camera.

Wall behind him is grey lines down, purple, black, red, and white, thick vertical lines.

The bleeding colors pull down the wall and onto the floor, towards the camera, and any potential viewers behind it, beseeching them,, reaching for them,,, seeking something to grab,, to hold,,, to keep.

To weather the endless storm.
He lies in wait.
Our time will come, again.

Again.
Again and again.
As it cyclistically does.

"SPARKLING GLASS"

An unexpected smile, from an unexpected ally.
Villain no more, redeption secured.
Though I speak in rhymes?
True, as can be.

I speak of myself.
As if I am not myself.
But I am all of me.

The panes of glass shine juat as brightly as I.

Every side of it.
Every color.

Each uneven side.

Is beautiful.

"Doggy Design Update"

Blue flame, dark pinkish maroon jumpsuit.
...Probably will change it back to blue, tbh.

He's like a shorter, "cattier" version of Kanine. Much more chatty, cartoonish New Yorker/italian accent.

He's mostly one to gripe and conplain to King, not much of one to legitimately argue with outsiders.
Bickers with King in a playful way.


Her design had felt "off" somehow, before.
Feels more right, now, but still needs work.


Doggy goes by male or female pronouns and is physically female, by Flamoid standards, but has a male voice and "effiminate male" mannerisms.

Most read him as "male" and he identifies as such.

He sometimes uses female pronouns in certain social contexts, and doesn't mind of others do the same, if not done so to insult.

Sometimes he likes if he confuses people in this regard, but he doesn't do it on purpose or play around with it, in the same way like Joseph does.


If Kanine's age range is late 30s early 40s, then Doggy is age late teens, early 20s.

....I don't exactly know where either of them will fit into the story, yet.

Kanine is definitely less present than Doggy often is, though, I know that much.
