According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

THE INTERMULTIVERSAL ALLIANCE'S DATABASE

(BASICALLY JUST L00T'S OC UNIVERSES & PROJECTS LMAO)


BACK TO THE ART AREA

INTERMULTIVERSAL ALLIANCE (IMA)

The IMA is the organization that oversees all OC universes that exist.

The organization makes sure that canon events in universes are not interfered with by other universes, but at the same time allows characters to communicate with each other regardless of home universe. It retains political neutrality, & conducts occasional visits to each oc universe for surveying & to check up on everyone to make sure everything is in order.

Mia Magdalene Carnall, the director of the IMA, is the most politically powerful person in the multiverse but she treats watching over each universe as like watching a soap opera (lmao).

(UN)FAMILIARITY

A cozy weirdcore/dreamcore project set in a liminal space + backrooms-inspired world called the Rotunda.

The Rotunda functions almost the exact same as the backrooms but instead of 999+ seemingly infinite levels & sublevels, there are only 50 small regions circling around a central hub called the Mall. The Mall has 5 floors with 10 regions on each floor, with each door being decorated according to the region's theme.

The Rotunda is home to a diverse group of entities including the Dream Team, an enigmatic & eccentric quintet of eternally wandering, nonhuman photographers. This team consists of Nell Paradox, Remm Rapida, Lune Macabre, Anne Moya, & Gray Hollochre, alongside their trusty, seemingly undying camera equipment.

Together the team is responsible for all of the liminal space & backrooms photos that exist on the internet.

THE NIGHTMARE BRIGADE

A silly villain-centered universe that has everything evil from ghouls to mad scientists, vampires, evil suit-wearing tumblr sexymen, basically any villain & monster that you can think of. The project itself is an urban fantasy story which centers around the titular brigade & takes place in the modern, spooky metropolis of Netherburg, the largest city in Malitopia (the Villain World).

The year is 1304 Malum Tempus or MT (2038 AD in Benitopia aka the Hero World/our world), & we have collectively no longer been terrified of monsters due to advancing technology & society; therefore the monsters decided to seek help from the supervillains (human villains such as supersuit-wearers, mad scientists, etc.) who have had more success in putting Benitopia into its place.

And thus Lucius Acheron, an ordinary Avarice Inc. executive, founded the titular brigade with the help of his lover Mystio Bugaboo, his long-term friend Natalie Frostine, & his boss Dorian Avarice, & has gradually expanded to include all sorts of humans & monsters ever since.

The Nightmare Brigade itself is an alliance of all types of evil who set their differences aside & cause chaos in Benitopia just because it's their job. Despite everyone in Malitopia & the Nightmare Brigade being evil beings, no one turns on each other due to their shared motives, values, & most importantly malice.

PROJECT “AURORA” (NO OFFICIAL TITLE YET)

The currently-unnamed spinoff of my friend Ale's Roaring Future, set in 5420 in the freezing arctic metropolis of Vsegda Kholodno.

It snows all year round in the city (even in July) & due to its latitude it has very funky day-night cycles: in the summer the sun never fully sets & in the winter the sun never fully rises. Thanks to advanced technology, the city is kept at a near-constant temperature of 0°C & does not have to deal with extreme conditions within its walls (still very chilly though so people still have to dress warmly there).

The main story centers around the daily shenanigans of Eugeni Rasolka-Nikiforov, the newly-elected mayor of Vsegda Kholodno, & the equally quirky people in his life.

AAA ("TRIPLE-A")

AESTHETICS, ART MOVEMENTS, ARCHITECTURAL STYLES

AAA is a universe consisting entirely of gijinkas (personifications) of aesthetics, art movements, & architectural styles, aka the AAA or Triple-A. All of these gijinkas live & work in this mishmashed-aesthetic metropolis called Aesthetiville.

Some characters are divided into different factions depending on the shared word or pre-/suffix in the aesthetic name, for example: -core, - pomo, memphis - , art - , frutiger - , -punk, etc.

I was inspired by my mutuals' holiday, decade, dessert, ocean liner, etc. gijinkas & I wanted to make some gijinkas of my own :>

L00TL00TUNIVERSE (LLÜ)

My largest + very first OC universe!! :0

LLÜ is an alternate, more technologically advanced Earth primarily set in the early 2010s with a neo-Y2K/Frutiger Aero aesthetic, with extra humanoid species, superpowers, & even the extra countries & city-states of Fentonburg, Paradagia, Prekrasnaysk, & Caput Orbis Terrarum (Earth’s capital)!!

Despite how densely populated & urbanized LLÜ is, the universe has little to no crime, pollution, or poverty, thanks to the efforts of the world-governing United Nations & the global peacekeeping organization Omega.

Aside from the retrofuturistic flairs, LLÜ is also ruled by multiple divine beings who freely live with mortals in their society completely on their own accord.


Stories taking place in this universe include:

ORDINARY ORGANIZATION OMEGA

A silly mockumentary centered around the inner workings of the titular Omega, a small global peacekeeping organization based in the Frutiger Aero tropical city of Fentonburg.

It mostly centers around its director, Lucy Alita (better known as L33T), but also touches up on Omega's various departments alongside all the other organizations & companies that have formed an alliance with (or are absolutely against) Omega.

The other organizations include Harmonia Hominis Canticum, Kryotek, IOMC, Ghostech, Ace Robotics, & many more, & also touches up on all of LLÜ's villains such as the Red & Blue Factions, solo mischief-makers, etc.

PROJECT PARADAGIA

A collection of slice-of-life short stories about various people from the fictional nation of Paradagia, an East Asian global superpower.

It primarily focuses on the relationship between the two worlds: Bovenst'virma (divine world) & Cheryst'virma (mortal world aka our world), & the latter's vessels (people who have been blessed by the gods of the divine world). Some gods will vacation in Cheryst'virma just to get a feel of how humans usually live, often taking on a more human-like form to blend in.

This project has been in the works since 2017 with a few elements that have been traced back to as far as 2010, but has only been made public since late 2021 due to personal reasons. In 2024 the project got almost completely reworked & is now a lot different than what it was before, but it still has many callbacks to the past in terms of worldbuilding & character design.

LE DOUX ABÎME

A horror-comedy historical story, which if I ever made into an actual readable it would be formatted to look like a journal, complete with crappy illustrations of the environment and the suspects.

In a sunny 1895 Paris, there have been a couple of gnarly happenings occurring in BROAD DAYLIGHT as opposed to the typical creepy nighttime, turns out the suspect is afraid of the dark despite dressing up as a shadowy Phantom of the Opera. How pathetic.

SOPHIE'S SPEAKEASY

A sapphic slice-of-life story about daily business in a small speakeasy in 1920s Boston (which still slightly reeks of molasses from the Great Molasses Flood of 1919).

The project showcases the daily lives of Sophie O'Connor, the owner of the titular speakeasy, her girlfriend Nellie Fletcher, & the many friends & customers they encounter.


CANCELLED LLÜ-CENTRIC PROJECTS

THE 15(TH)

A historical story about a group of 15 first class passengers onboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic. It was scrapped in 2023 due to the OceanGate submersible implosion, but its characters live on in Sophie's Speakeasy.

HEATUSDELETUS

A mockumentary about the lives of 3 Omega colleagues, each with cryokinetic powers hence the name heatus-deletus. These three goofballs are Anatoliy L.L. Nordberg aka AITCH, Detective James Costigan, & MK Bellavance. HEATUSDELETUS merged with Ordinary Organization Omega in 2024 & the trio are now major characters of that project.

AN ICY ADVENTURE

HEATUSDELETUS’ prequel centering around the city of Prekrasnaysk’s history & the divine beings that live & have lived there. It was merged with Ordinary Organization Omega alongside its sequel in 2024.

SEPTEM PLANETARUM

A whimsigothic space story about a CEO named Sterling Ganymede, who travels from planet to planet in an attempt to expand his company outside of Aeloria, their home world. However he is so friendly that they end up just befriending the natives of each planet instead.

Sterling lives & works in a giant private spaceship called the Iota with several other people of various species from the other planets + moons, including his own.

The seven planets are Aeloria (main + largest planet, & where Sterling is from), Zenith-4f, Sylvinia, Yus-D3Z4, Pyrtheon, Lyria-3u, & Arcadia 1V1, & their moons are Niv-3H32, Xerith, Milles M7B, Orion-L1W5, & Cao 56.

FYRE + THE DISADVANTAGES OF LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER

The Fyre universe is a silly stereotypical fantasy universe I came up with one night while playing Genshin Impact. Its name is derived from an old, long-scrapped OC project of mine from around 2012-14 that centered around an all-female cast doing things.

This universe is stuck in a hybrid between the Renaissance & Industrial Revolution, but it has stuff like (tiny) dragons, potions, wizard magic, you name it.

The Disadvantages of Living Happily Ever After, the main story that takes place in this universe, focuses on 5 roommates who are supposed to be the classic fantasy adventuring party, but as the last big evil thing was vanquished from the universe literal decades ago & the world is way too peaceful for them, their "adventuring" just consists of mundane everyday tasks & occasional traveling to other countries.

SMALLER PROJECTS & UNIVERSES

PROJECT “INITIUM FINIS” (NO OFFICIAL TITLE YET)

This currently untitled project takes place in the Frostpunk universe during the events of The Last Autumn, but from London's perspective. PROJECT "INITIUM FINIS" (The Beginning of the End) is a dark comedy + satire short story which serves as a sappy love letter to one of my favorite video games of all time but also pokes fun at the craziness of the Victorian Era as a whole.

The year is 1886, & lately there have been a ton of rumors & fearmongering about a global ice age circulating across the entirety of London. While it's good to prepare for the worst & hope for the best (for example there are people overseas building generators to house the last cities on Earth should the rumors come true), some people just instantly believe every single thing they hear & start to needlessly panic as a result. Novelist Mona McPherson has been tasked with dispelling these petty rumors & fearmongering, while at the same time try to reassure everyone that everything will be ok in the end. She fortunately gets a lot of help from her friends Zachariah "Zach" Heriot & Aurore Fullmore with tackling the tricky crowds, but of course shenanigans ensue...


PROJECT “CELESTE” (NO OFFICIAL TITLE YET)

A silly slice-of-life fan-story set in the Wuthering Waves universe (specifically in Ragunna City, Rinascita) revolving around the daily shenanigans of the Order of the Deep. It primarily centers around my OC Virgilio & the canon WuWa character Phoebe, who are colleagues & are both acolytes for the Order.

Virgilio did not choose to be an acolyte despite being fully devoted to the Sentinel: he originally wanted to be a solo, wandering warrior, protecting Rinascita from harm in the name of the Sentinel. But alas he has to deal with the well-known issue of a needlessly strict family, & thus he literally had no choice but to join the Order. He hates his job & would much rather be slaughtering tacet discords DOOM-style, but the kind-hearted Phoebe makes it much more tolerable for him.

The story primarily centers around the acolytes' everyday lives, while also focusing on the ways that Phoebe & Rover try to help Virgilio leave the Order for good.


NOVA TERRA

Nova Terra is my personal envisioning of "the perfect utopia".

The year is 384 NT (Nova Tempus) & society lives in harmony with each other & nature, & operates under 1 unified nation with a unified writing system for all of its languages, while still allowing much room for multiculturalism.

Nova Terra has very heavy solarpunk influence & is best described as being very green & lush.


ÆRA

ÆRA is a small universe similar to the neo-Y2K/Frutiger Aero LLÜ but it's significantly more minimalistic & dystopian.

Most of the buildings & surroundings in ÆRA are white, giving it a very unique look & feel. It takes heavy inspiration from Mirror's Edge, which also has all-white buildings.

Don't let its clean appearance, nonexistent crime rate, & seemingly peaceful environment fool you; there are cameras & brainwashing propaganda all over ÆRA's cities.


THE SUGARPLUM SNOWFIELDS

The Sugarplum Snowfields is a small, snowglobe-sized universe inspired by Rankin Bass + every cartoon holiday special & holiday movie ever made.

The snowfields are stuck in a permanent ice age but it's very cutesy, colorful, & Christmasy. It's most akin to those porcelain christmas villages in some people's homes during the holiday season, especially the comically large ones with small, actually-running trains.

The characters of this project have a unique appearance inspired by Rankin Bass, Wreck-it Ralph's Sugar Rush, & the lalafells from Final Fantasy XIV.


COGSTEAD

Cogstead is a neo-Victorian steampunk universe & quite possibly the grittiest, grimiest universe I have ever made. It was named after a well known steampunk band: The Cog is Dead.

Rather than being historically accurate to the late 1800s & the time of the Industrial Revolution, Cogstead is more sorta the romanticized steampunk stuff. It's is not as modernized & progressive as my other universes, & there is even currently a civil war taking place in this steampunk hell.

The main cities of Cogstead are Londinium, Parisiorum, Turicum, Bonames, Vindobona, Gerulata, Aquincum, & New Roma.


DREAM DIARY

Dream Diary is less of an OC universe/project but more of a public archive for dreams that I have had in the past.

I am a lucid dreamer & can easily remember + write down my dreams, & these silly fellows have appeared in my dreams at least once :0
