#rules is smart

[venacoeurva]

Well since there's interest in nsfw comms, I'll go about making a rules list for it which will probably just be screenshots of the Notes or Pages app because that's easier to do, easy to read, and I can go back and edit it in the future when I gotta

#vena vents #not art #People make fun of notes app screenshots for obviously tasteless uses like apologies but using it as a quick and easy image listing comm #rules is smart #I saw someone do that and went MAN innovation #Also mind you I GOTTA RECOGNIZE YOU IN ORDER FOR YOU TO GET ONE OF THESE #no randos who just got here

A personal headcanon I have and that fanfic writers are also fond of seems to be that while Dr. Ratio is very book smart, Aventurine is street smart to a high degree. Enough that it often baffles Dr. Ratio.

We saw the Nightingale vs Eagle argument and how Aventurine was able to identify the shrinking gate while Veritas didn't even consider it.

So I love scenarios and fanfics where Aventurine makes what everyone assumes are lucky guesses and gambles but Ratio slowly realizes have well thought out reasoning behind.

And then he gets irritated and intrigued because how does he keep doing that???

#Dr ratio deffo seems like the kind of person to be attracted to knowledge #and we know that while Aventurine does take risks often #he also has solid reasonings behind those risks #so ratio realizing that he maybe Aventurine is actually no an idiot #is very precious to me #ofc in the current hsr #Ratio obviously already knows that Aven is smart. #also he deffo has a competency kink i dont make the rules #hsr #hsr dr ratio #hsr ratio #hsr aventurine #ratiorine #raturine #dr ratio #aventio

My fave sad little meow meow meets my new sad little meow meow.

Except it's petvengers so no bad thing ever happens :D

So yeah, I'm battling my artblock in the old best way going back to petvengers XD

#petvengers #bucky barnes #winter soldier #miguel o'hara #spiderman 2099 #still I'm kinda preferring owl for miguel because migowl ohooora #and also smart and cool looking but actually a dumbass disaster #but i also kinda think bucky should be a bear #so that tracks XD #(oh what do you mean i make up rules #there is no rules XD #and its internet so cats always win #(said by me the declared dog person)

I STILL CAN'T GET OVER HOW IN THE BEGINNING, CALE PUSHED EVERYONE AWAY. You may say it's because of how "dangerous" and "trouble packed" their journey will be in the story later on— BUT. I JUST CANT HELP BUT FEEL LIKE MAYBE , JUST MAYBE. He didn't want them to be affected by his "curse" (side effect of WS) whether he knew about it or not. Just consider the fact that he KNOWS what will happen to them and how they'll be fighting for a better world and it'd be MUCH better if he's not there. Just in case he worsens whatever will happen.

He's such an unreliable narrator <3 the Worst Kind Ever.

#cale henituse #you will always be famous #TCF #trash of the count's family #and you might say OH he probably doesnt really /know/ about the side effect but i raise you this #this b//tch was able to rise up to be a commander and an absolute BEAST of a team leader. #with a 0% LETHAL RATE (probably. actually need to fact check that but its somewhere along those lines) #poor b//stard was tired of everyone leaving him and if he can help it #no one will suffer. even if it is at his expense #my point is: he's a smart ass he probably figured out something was wrong with him when people doesnt really get Close yo him and anyone- #who DID f//ckin DIED #he deserves the world and more #though he'd probably pass out if was given a world #'I DONT WANT TO RULE A WORLD! GIVE ME MY SLACKER LIFE!!' he'd say

hi can i get a character who's associated with fire, has had rough beginnings due to being cast-out from society because of their appearance and struggled with their femininity, went on a journey seeking power and to become stronger, ultimately being blinded by their thirst for revenge, have killed several people and at some point got betrayed by someone close to them?

all in no particular order

and make it a double, please 🙏

#fang runin #mizu #blue eye samurai #the poppy war #these are extreme generalizations and i might have missed something this is all in good fun please don't come for me thanks #i love both of them so much #i was going insane watching the show #i love this archetype so much?? #oh and also! the character has THREE love interests #a guy who they grew extremely close to and then ended up dying #a guy who seems insistent on being their enemy and killing them and a girlboss who wants freedom and despizes the expectations society plac #and their bestfriend is the comedic relief who's actually a really smart and compelling character #im literally obsessed #all of their love interests are fruity btw. i don't make the rules #spoilers btw

Decked Out but it's a Scooby-Doo au and when they finally track down the Dungeon Master they rip off the hood with glowing eyes and it's just Wet Cat Tango.

#ren is scoobs for obvious reasons #stress is shaggy i don't make the rules #maybe impulse gem and cub for the rest of the gang #and yes that makes cub velma #he's smart and he has glasses what more do you need #open to other options but you gotta draw them XD #hermitcraft #decked out 2

Can I pour one out for Mrs. Fudo????

Despite also being a lead developer on Satellite reactor, she does not have the title of Dr. Fudo, like her husband. She also died when the reactor blew, but makes no appearance in the show while Yusei's dad comes prancing in from the afterlife like once a season. No one ever mentions or talks about her. The only time she ever appears in the series is in a shattered photograph in one scene. This is the best picture we have of her.

Mrs. Fudo, ma'am, I want you to know I'm thinking of you.

#Yuma's mom also gets this but not to the same extent Mrs. Fudo is literally NEVER MENTIONED #ma'am you're so strong and smart and beautiful #you were a queen and should be remembered as such #she was a head researcher on a MASSIVE scientific endeavor that discovered an entire new form of matter??? #she continued working even while pregnant???? #she possibly gave birth to Yusei AT her office????? #she died in the line of duty alongside her husband?????? #I'm just saying this woman clearly RULED #yugioh #yugioh 5ds #ygo 5ds #5ds #yusei fudo

I am going over Murderbot's and ART's first interactions again and it's driving me crazy, so I really need to yell into the void about it.

Alright, so we have ART:

ART, a highly advanced deep space research vessel, who is very attached to its crew and seems to generally do what it's supposed to, especially when not doing so could endanger its mission - but ends up accepting a suspicious looking SecUnit that is lying about being a bot aboard itself. ART is evidently aware that it is directly breaking the rules in doing so. (Aside: How often does ART break the rules?) Why? All for that tempting media package that the SecUnit has to offer?

No.

It was sent off to do some work all alone and got bored and lonely. (I think there are different ways to intepret this, but looking at our super social raised-by-humans loving-its-crew never-shutting-up research vessel, I choose to think that is exactly what it was!)

Anyway, what does ART do now that it has this lying, potentially dangerous rogue SecUnit aboard? It

lets it know that it saw right through its lies and knows exactly what it is

intimidates and threatens it by showing off its own ridiculously extensive superiority (just to be on the safe side ofc)

gets bored after the SecUnit gets too scared to do anything interesting

asks the SecUnit to "stop sulking"

learns that the SecUnit has been through A Lot and seemingly understands how it made it feel and apologizes

gets bored again and starts lurking and harasses convinces the SecUnit to watch media about ships and their crews with it

[gets way too invested and agitated by the media, probably going through its first media-induced emotional crises (but gets through them with the support of the very patient SecUnit)]

tries to have a conversation with the SecUnit to get to know it better

gets offended that the SecUnit is not answering truthfully and won't share sensitive and very private information about itself

lets the SecUnit know it can see through its lies, calling it "inherently inferior" to itself and causing the SecUnit to sulkily shut down for four hours (lol)

immediately calls the SecUnit "unnecessarily childish" upon its awakening four hours later (referring to its own extensive experience with children to really get the point across)

And apparently all of this seemed to be a perfectly pleasant and normal interaction to ART, because:

That's how you make friends, isn't it?!

God, I love ART so so so much and this is SO funny to me! To be fair, I don't think anyone ever really prepared it for an interaction like this. (Probably because its crew did not expect it to pick up a stray rogue SecUnit and try to befriend it).

Bonus:

#murderbot #the murderbot diaries #asshole research transport #𓄿 #artificial condition #listen #sometimes you just see a friendshaped SecUnit and you have to adopt it #even if its a little ferral because it was not raised with warmth and love the way you were #even if it bites #i just love them so so so much #sometimes ART seems so smart and wise and composed #that i forget that ART is really just very stupid too #and i say that very very lovingly #sorry for the long post i just have a lot of emotions #if anyone is up for screaming into the abyss about ART and murderbot together #please join me and let me know whether you think ART was all dutiful and rule-abiding before it got corrupted by murderbot #or whether it was already pushing the rules and potentially getting itself into trouble before this #because i can't decide which option is more fitting and i like both

What could be consider laws of the multiverse?

Or is there no such thing?

Aight aight

Let's go, explanation for time

For this one I will speak as creator

This is infos I've shared before on my site, and I got the greenlight to share it here !

Reminder that @neonross was the og creator of Out of Bounds and I am merely one of the artist and writers ( and alternatively the lore gremlin that make sure everything is smooth good lore lol ( so for lore clarification yeh I'm the good person to ask haha))

So here are the "laws" of the multiverse and how it works in wttmv specifically !

Those rules apply only in our story, but anyone who wants to use those concepts are welcome, of course ! Neon Ross's og intent was to have rules flexible enough for people to make characters and have fun with the concepts, but we don't mean to be an autority of any kind and ruin people's fun... Anyway, explanation time

It's not really "laws" so much as rules for ourselves and for our story, to give it nuances and stakes and the right amount of lore scratching complexity

Some characters however might tell you that these are laws lmao

✨Out of Bounds ✨

___-Lore Guide-___

Out of Bounds (OOB) is a realm existing beyond the multiverse, operating by its own rules and devoid of time. This guide provides insight into OOB's nature, its role in the multiverse, and the mechanics governing its interactions.

Nature of Out of Bounds

Definition :

• OOB is a space outside of alternate universes, akin to the Void Realm in Towags where forgotten characters and places reside.

• Awareness of this space is limited, known only to those who reside within or encounter its inhabitants.

Television :

• Floating televisions within OOB display AUs, acting as viewports or portals for interaction.

• Televisions serve as a primary means for Multiversers to observe and interact with AUs. ( While it is the primary way, note that there are exceptions and other ways to travel )

Shows :

• We call "show" the stories within the multiverse. Includes the Original, Variants, Alternate Universes.

• The Original cannot be touched or interacted with by anyone.

• Variants are copies of the original with very minor changes (art style, design, head canons). They can be interacted with on varrying degree, depending on the creator of the variant will.

• AUs are copies of Welcome Home with major or noticeable changes, from the story, to the characters and their designs.

Vintage Tapes :

• AUs are stored within vintage tapes, with the film inside representing the universe's timeline.

• Tapes categorize AUs into Fixed and Flexible, depending on the level of interaction allowed by the creators of each AUs.

Interference Mechanics :

• Interfering with Fixed AUs poses risks, as altering their storylines can lead to universe corrupt and/or collapse.

• Flexible AUs allow more interaction, often featuring crossovers and Y/N scenarios.

Out of Bound Spaces

Channels :

• Spaces integral to the multiverse system, including the Observer's TV room, the Archives, and Admin's film room.

Shows :

• The AUs themselves, contained in the multiverse, then OOB

Lost Media :

• Spaces not categorized as channels or tapes, such as the Keeper's domaine, Trader's space, and Stitcher's atelier. (Often time those are kind of like shells of dead/collapsed/modified AU, or pocket dimensions)

Pillars of Creation :

• Vast space outside of the multiverse, a galaxy-like zone full of stars, that is said to be where the creators of AUs reside. Very few characters go so far in the OOB.

In between :

• The void between the AUs. It is devoid of breathable air, often dark and lightless as well. Some multiversers are unaffected by the lack of air, but stay careful ! We don't know what lurks or leaks in the in-between

Diagram made by Bloomenvogel and Neon Ross for the Out of Bound as we see it in WTTMV

Note : this diagram applies to wttmv, but feel free to use I with your characters if you want ! Just like all of those rules, we made those to help make the story as a whole

Out of Bound Inhabitants

Natives of OOB :

• The Out of Bound is often said to have a mind of its own... It will sometimes create its own variants of the core cast, for reasons still obscures to this day. Notable characters born from the OOB : Observer, Courier, Messenger

"Refugies"

• Cast or OC characters that had their worlds destroyed/corrupted/collapsed, and who are left to wander in the multiverse. Most often they will end up in Peacekeeper's domaine until they can be rehomed in a flexible tape or new universe, or adapt to the Out of Bounds.

• A character that adapts to the Out of Bounds will then be called "Multiverser" along with the native of OOB

• Characters considered "refugies turned multiverser" in wttmv : Peacekeeper, Filante, Trader, ShopKeeper, Watcheye, Stitcher, Croupier

Multiversers :

• Multiversers are the inhabitants of the Out of Bounds. Often times, they are anomalies that have developped specific abilities allowing them to reside or survive in the Out of Bounds. Those abilities often includes being able to travel to multiple flexible tapes, but not always. A multiverser will almost always be a variant of a cast character, and rarely, if not ever, a y/n or fan oc. (If you wonder why y/n and ocs are excluded from being multiversers specifically, it's because Y/N is at its core a you self insert, but *you* are supposed to be viewers in the story. It's fine when in a pocket universe like Keeper's and Trader, a y/n can exist there, but in the oob it could causes some problems of logic with viewer influence and control, or the focus of the story could go astray to fit a y/n, which is not a story we want to tell. It kinda goes for ocs too)

__________________

I tried to say as much as I could without much spoilers... For the reminder, I already explained the main, general chronology of wttmv on the site

Ik, ik, it's a bit of a hassle to go search and look and all. Tbh the site is kind of a way to give a bit of a treat for the really big fans who are ready to go on a separate site to get lore lmao /lh

But now I get to ramble here too ! Hurray !

TLDR :

OOB is big and weird. The AUs and Variants can be interacted with only if allowed by the creators. Multiversers are the weird cast variants living in the oob. The OOB is kinda like an onion, it has layers. Most characters always stay in the multiverse part.

#ooff big lore one #rambling time #yk I love to ramble #anyway - you can use this as official lore guide #it's Ross approved #mostly- #you might notice the lack of Nyxie inclusion in this post /j #well actually it's because that even as a multiverser she doesn't fit in here. #also Nyxie runs under an other set of rules that loosely connects to wttmv so that she can be disconnected whenever I need her to #i am smart like that haha #you might also notice some characters are not mentionned #it's either because their originin is “unknown” or because they have been created by a third party outside of AUs #but if I say that - I fear people might roll with it and go too crazy - so just in case i put it here for people who read all the tags only #to you - you are allowed to know that some characters were created in the pillars of creations by a third party and it's an anomaly #welcome home au #welcome home #whmultiverse #keeper poppy au #multiverse mom #ask peacekeeper poppy #ask blog #welcomehome #lore time #big lore drop here #lore guide

Does anyone else find it odd that the manager of the department of reassignment was arresting a fugitive nindroid??

I think someone was trying to show their hand

Or jay used to be field agent and got dragged into this (maybe he owed agents Allen and/or Underwood a favor)

#ninjago #dragons rising #dragons rising s2 #dragons rising spoilers #dragons rising s2 spoilers #I think we might get his story of him being a good agent who breaks the rules #he’s obviously smart entering from the back where he catches bonzel by surprise #but why is he there in the field when he’s a manager if a different department??? #I’m really curious about the rest of s2 #cause there is so much happening idk if we will get more administration stuff until rash arch is complete

I do not understand what was going on in Vale’s head after 2015. Like, every time he speaks about Marc he always brings up Sepang and explain how that was the breaking point in their relationship, he doesn’t really talk about Argentina, but at the same time in 2016 they were lowkey getting closer again (?). Then he says that after 2015 he was being polite to Marc only to not waste time, but why? He clearly had no problem to express all his hatred towards him after 2018 so what was the need to act polite and appear fake when he knew damn well that even if he kept talking shit about Marc the journalist and all his fans would have his back. Truly a confusing man, I bet Marc was driving himself insane to try to understand him.

first of all thats a lot of smoke even for my man valentino. like years of smoke. again, hes kind of known as the fun funny guy everybody loves to see win bc he's their silly little elf prince... and yes he's a killer on the track (thats also fun) and hes aware of how to manipulate the public opinion. BUT because of that, i think he's also aware that all of that adoration is something that he can potentially lose or at least have less control over... crowds like jesters when theyre FUN. and when marc's pr strategy at that point about this was 1. ignore it, 2. be very sweet to vale when you see him bc you love him (like he said hi to vale almost every single time they sat next together in 2016. a more sane man wouldve just chilled in contemplative heartbroken silence. not marc ! not my crazy little guy !), being consistently aggressive towards him is a lot less fun for everybody. gives him a lot less power in terms of wielding/controlling that rivalry when he thinks he really needs to. hes NOT lying when he says its easier to just say hi to marc. it is! if he ignored marc every weekend, that would be the story of the weekend. every single time. and i think he learned in the aftermath of sepang how big a story like this could get (we STILL talk about it. marc was answering jorge vs valentino questions THIS WEEK.) and how much they can dominate his life and capture the eyes of the press. kind of inescapably. resigning himself to an eternal retirement of answering questions like how fast do you think marquez will be on the ducati?? (i KNOWWW hes sick rn btw). a monster of his own creation. so i think he learned in malaysia to only go after marc when hes really fucking pissed off. and he was really fucking pissed off in argentina 2018. and unfortunately marc didnt get the hint until then i think.

#also. lmao. marc is veryyyyyy good on that bike when motivated by spite. like that was the main problem in the actual race part of sepang #marc decided to ruin vale's day specifically bc vale ruined his ! and marc is smart. #so while he was being annoying he was also doing it within the RULES. and i think ole man valentino didnt super want that heat. #like every weekend. a big fuck you. although to be fair marc was dominating for years after so he had bigger fish to fry.... #still thinking of that lovely podcast clip about vale pulling out all the mindgames and tricks on marc that had worked with his other rival #and marc being the WORST possible person to do that to. uno reverse card and now VALE is out of sorts.... kind of hot. #motogp #asks #callie speaks #rosquez #ask me about marc during that period i have more narrative thoughts and less psychoanalysis if anyone would like 2 hear it
