17776 Still Going Strong In My Mind, So Here's 9 As A Cat

more off doodles <3

been thinking of doing a weekly thing where I draw Aubrey

i made designs for the 17776 probes because i love them more sketches below

then the first thing i did was juice9 yaoi so that too

Gordon Porlock, Secret Warlock

the real "me"

i think the existential dread that i feel when thinking about living forever a la 17776 is moreso one wherein all of the things i love dearly and am excited about are all subconsciously motivated by the fact that i am going to die someday. my whole entire life is framed in such a way where not dying would mean that my objectives in life would become meaningless.

and i think that's super interesting, because this sort of story forces me to reframe my thinking--maybe as i am going about planning my life, i should think about it from the perspective of "i will literally never run out of time." because, really, the eighty years we have on this earth can feel simultaneously infinite and extremely small. but there's SO much time that we spend dreading the possibility that we don't have time for anything, when the reality is that we DO.

also, it makes me think about how excited i would be to be granted infinite time to explore everything on this earth that I'd want to. like I'd seriously become a 100% runner in real life. I'd do EVERYTHING. and when i think abt that, i really CAN become envious that the ppl of 17776, whose only enemy is boredom. so my dread quickly turns into deep desire, and i feel like those can often feel like the same exact things.

it’s a wonderful world! ✨

INTRODUCING MY OCZ ONE BY ONE!!

First oc:

TWINE ENTAN!!

Info under cut

Some of the info on the ref sheet MIGHT be outdated so don’t mind that!!

Twine is my FAVORITE CHILD, my BABY, fictional light of my LIFE

☆ To start: basic info!!

Name: Twine Entan

Age: N/A

Height: 6’3” at default

Gender/Sex: N/A, genderless, no sex

Pronounz & sexuality: any prnz, panromantic

MBTI & alignment: XNTP-t, lawful good

☆ They’re the alien embodiment of the concept of duality!! They don’t exactly have a specific species though, so I’ll get into that first!!!

Twine wasn’t exactly, born?? They kind of just. Spawned into existence one day. That’s literally their origin. Well, summarized!

Their origin’z a liiiittle more complicated than that, but herez a mix of summary & detailed explanation:

Twine wasn’t conceived by parentz, they were simply formed by the universe itself! Or I guess. The multiverse. Cuz!! Twine was put together kind of liiiikeee,, a collage! The multiverse took bitz & piecez of the dominant speciez of many other worldz, and mushed them all together to create this abomination!! /aff ily Twine

As awesome as thiz. . thing. . . may be, there iz a sort of! Flaw!! Twine has no {proper} organz & no bonez! Not even fingernailz!

Thiz iz why Twine has no listed sex—they practically have doll anatomy

Since the universe could only observe so much from up above, it could only see the visible traitz of different speciez; last I checked, you can’t really see organz & bonez at a first glance!!! The universe didn’t really get all those detailz,,

Since they don’t have organz or bonez restricting their physical form, she can squash and stretch their body to his will! As seen in the ref sheet

Theoretically, Twine can stretch indefinitely, as long as they generate enough energy to manage that

This is also why their height is listed as “6’3” at default” and not just “6’3””, because they can change their height

Fun fact time:

The common species of the planet Twine was put on doez have unnatural colorz for skintonez & different patternz, but Twine’z specific pattern {black & white split} iz an impossible phenotype for the common species to have, so they’re VERY obviously not supposed to be there!!

But it’z okay—their friendz still love em :))

Twinez also physically incapable of being injured; since they have no blood, nervez, and essentially an infinite energy source, they just heal super fast with no consequence of injury

As seen in the image above—if Twine were to get hurt, a yellow light that I use to represent energy seepz out til the wound eventually closez itself

Small notez: Twine’z big pupilz are on purpose, they’re meant to represent black holez. & their design is supposed to include symmetry in order to convey the duality theme!

☆ MOVING ON!!

Twinez BESTEST FRIENDZ in the WHOLE WIDE GALAXY are their PALZ:

Aster Vesta {their BEST friend!!}

Tycho Lunaris

Kuiper Neptune

They each play an important role in Twinez narrative,,, but I won’t share that yet!!

That’z all I got {for now},, if you read allat, YOU’RE AWESOME!!! Have a fantastic day/night

ehh
