AlphysXUndyne For Valentine's Day!

here have 10 pieces of writing advice that have stuck with me over the years

every character’s first line should be an introduction to who they are as a person

even if you only wrote one sentence on a really bad day, that’s still one sentence more than you had yesterday

exercise restraint when using swear words and extra punctuation in order for them to pack a punch when you do use them

if your characters have to kiss to show they’re in love, then they’re not in love

make every scene interesting (or make every scene your favorite scene), otherwise your readers will be just as bored as you

if you’re stuck on a scene, delete the last line you wrote and go in a different direction, or leave in brackets as placeholders

don’t compare your first draft to published books that could be anywhere from 3rd to 103rd drafts

i promise you the story you want to tell can fit into 100k words or less

sometimes the book isn’t working because it’s not ready to be written or you’re not ready to write it yet; let it marinate for a bit so the idea can develop as you become a better writer

a story written in chronological order takes a lot more discipline and is usually easier to understand than a story written with flashbacks

okay, but why am i getting attached to this design of ccino? i dunno, it’s fun to draw, and i love the au so-

!this is not the canon version of ccino in delta99! only the creators can have a power over what’s canon and what’s not!

this is just a fanon design of ccino that i want to have fun with, since there isn’t a design of ccino yet.

delta99 belongs to @help-im-a-gay-fish and @thebluescreen

ccino belongs to black-nyanko

The Best Cartoon Villain in 2010′s

With the 2010s is coming to a close, they were many villains in modern cartoons that were quite interesting at first but as time passes they became not as interesting that many people thought they were While many people talk about Bill Cipher, White Diamond, Lord Dominator, Lich or Toffee being well-written antagonist but there is one villain that I believe he’s the greatest and not many talks about him and his name is Noximilian the Clockmaker 

Nox is one of the best modern cartoon villains that was written, even better than Toffee but what makes him so great? Let me explain why he is 

Before the show began, Nox was a well-gifted clockmaker/inventor, a loving father, and a loving husband however very poor do to debts but still a loving family

That was until he found the Eliacube.

 The cube has unimagined power that he thought was impossible like he learns a bit of Xelor magic which they are time mages. He studied the Eliacube which caused him to hardly eat nor sleep and spending less time with the family. 

A week passed and when he finally left his workshop, he finds a note from his wife that she took his children and moved to her sister due to him being more focus on the cube than his family.

 As he was about to find his family, the cube didn’t allow him to leave, it called him and he answered making his transformation from a loving-father to a maniac complete. 

After two months, Nox’s landlord arrives to see him and what he saw was a completely different man. Instead of asking him for his debt, he came to inform Nox that his family is dead. Ogrest chaos flooded the island that they were living in. He didn’t believe him at first but then he sees visions of the island being destroyed and that’s when his mind breaks. 

He lost his family because his obsession for the cube gotten the better to him but it spoke to him that maybe it isn’t too late if he just goes back in time and erases all of his mistakes. He could even be more powerful than the Xelor god himself and all he needs is a massive amount of Wakfu (magic) to be able to do it and he spends 200 years gathering Wakfu by laying waste to multiple countries and killing people with Wakfu so he can go back in time to see his family. 

Now in present time of the show.

The story begins with Nox discovers that Grougalorgan who has a large amount of Wakfu, seemingly pushing baby Yugo who is an Elitrope, a forgotten race (the protagonist of the show) in his baby carriage.

 He challenges him but was ultimately defeated. Although he was beaten, he laughs that he finds out Grougalgorgan is a dragon disguised as a human and he vows that he’ll acquire his Wakfu one day. 

Twelve years later, Nox tracks Grougalorgan trail once again. Yugo is now twelve-years-old and is on a search for his real parents with his friends. Although Nox is absent in the first part of the story he is tracking their movement in hoping their journey will lead him to the dragon. 

He finally finds him on an island and they clash. 

In their fight, Nox was more prepared than their previous encounter by using his drones to either attack Grougalorgan

Or heal him 

Using three corpses that he killed previously as his puppet to fight for him 

And he tries his best not to use too much Wakfu 

Although he has beaten him once again he let his guard down and able to defeat him. When Nox was able to take the dragon Wakfu, Grougalorgan sees that he isn’t evil and warns him that danger he’ll do if his plan succeeds. Nox response is this 

“The end of the world? Is that really important? If I succeed, no one will care because it will all begin again! If I fail, I don’t care if the world survives or not!” 

However he fails on stealing his Wakfu by self-destructing himself and after that he appears to Yugo and his friends that what Nox will do next and they must stop him, gathering Wakfu from the Tree of Life. 

Nox launch his invasion at the Sadida Kingdom, where the Tree of Life is by sending his minions and machines against Sadida army. Yugo and his friends showed up to face off Nox for one last time but as they battle his army, Nox deploys his greatest invention, XII Raze-Time that went up against them so the path can be cleared to go to the Tree of Life.

 The machine was too much for them to handle and it even killed Sadlygrove

Yugo’s friend and that traumatized Eva, Sadlygrove love interest

and enrage Yugo in the process. 

At the end of the battle, he manages to get to his goal, draining Wakfu from the Tree of Life which caused all of the Sadida soldiers to die. 

Yugo and his dragon brother, Adamai face-off Nox. During their encounter, Yugo touches the Eliacube and transport Nox Clock Fortress to Mount Zinit. With Yugo and Nox fully powered by the Eliacube, they continued their last battle.

 Yugo being victorious by he was able to move thanks to cube but was stopped when he got distracted by Ogrest roar which Nox use that to strike and drain his Wakfu and making him the victor of the battle. 

He uses Yugo and Tree of Life Wakfu to go back in time to save his family however it didn’t truly work, instead of going back 200 years, he only managed to go back 20 minutes. Nox rants that he spends so many years of gathering Wakfu for only 20 minutes as his machines and his fortress was crumbling down before him. 

Nox proceeds ranting about the cube of how it won’t let him see his family and still think that it was talking to him.

 Yugo angrily yells at him that the Eliacube doesn’t talk and all of his crimes for the past 200 years was for naught, calling him insane. Nox breaks down, realizing that not only he can’t see his family again but the crimes he committed, he truly believed that it would work and all the lives he has taken wouldn’t matter but he failed. Although the Tree of Life is alive however Sadlygrove and every victim he attacked can’t be erased. 

 With the last remaining Wakfu he has, he uses it to teleport to his family grave and that’s when he turned to dust. 

From all the modern cartoon villains, Nox is the most well-written villain that was ever created. He had an emotional backstory that made him from a hardworking loving-father to a ruthless man that cares very little actions An understandable motivation that all he wants to do he reunite with his family by going back in time which he has to amount of Wakfu of doing. He was active in the story for the first season and his endgame. He’s probably the only villain that actually defeated the main cast of characters and was about to get what he wanted but it was his plan fail that truly defeated him, making him realize what he has done 

This is how you write a villain. He wasn’t forgiven so easily nor defeated in the most anti-climatic way

Such as 

White Diamond gets defeated by getting the talk by Steven 

Toffee getting blasted by Star 

or Mina gets scott free without facing any punishment for her crimes she committed 

 like most modern cartoons are doing right now. Nox is one of the greatest modern cartoon villains that was ever created and I hope cartoon creators take note of it.

CrossXDream family doodles.

A few months ago I posted the first ideas for Celestial Star and Luna Light my cream twins. I drew this around the same time and wanted to post it for a while. So here is finally is. These two started off bumpy, like most ship kids, they were not made on purpose. But Cross and Dream took it in stride. 

1) When they were only about 3 days old, they were kidnapped by Nightmare. He wanted to use them as blackmail to get his brother alone. Dream of cause confronted his brother. it was quite emotional as he pleaded that they were only babys and that Nightmare couldn’t really stoop that low right. During this something started to happen to Celest. She was just and energy blob at the time and was very fragile. Because of being held in Nightmare’s tendrils she un-knowingly started to absorb his negative energy. It wasn’t long until it started to hurt her. She started to cry. Nightmare then saw what was happening to her. Now normally he wouldn’t care. But he was suddenly brought back to the day of his own corruption. Remembering the true pain and fear. That was something he wouldn’t wish on his worst enemy. So quickly he returned both children to Dream and told him to leave before he changed his mind. He regretted being so emotionally weak later on.  

2) When Dream got the two back safely. Him and Cross shared an emotional moment. Dream felt guilty, and also scared for them, particularly Celest, whose energy at blackened slightly. No one was able to reverse the corruption and no one knew how it would effect Celest in the long run.

3) Over protective Dad Dream. Lucky at first it didn’t seem like Celest was going to be badly effected. She was still able to form a skeleton body much like Lux did. But out of guilt and fear, Dream insisted in carrying her around for a few months. Just in case something bad happened. He even started to neglect his duty’s slightly.

But after help from Cross and his friends, he was finally able to let go and leave both the twins with an AU Sans (i don’t know which yet, i would love suggestions) who had offered to look after them when the AU travellers couldn’t. 

4) Drawing of the twins together.

5) Just as they had feared, the corruption had a lasting effect. One day strange black marks began to appear on Celest. mostly on her legs. These marks seemed to cause her pain since she would cry when they were touched. After a few days they were gone. But this was not the last they would see them.

6) something to lighten the mood. This is a ship kid called Essence created by @thebluescreenofdespair

here is meeting his new half sister for the first time. Hes a natural!

hope you like it

“and the universe said…”

Static. Because i need practice drawing him, his head is hard to do. Also because i needed to figure out what his arms looked like. I did hand practice as well using some of the diffrent characters from static’s story to make then less ..plain? i guess.

Really happy to see this at my local library
