adam from the weird tmc dream i had last night. more doodles and also an explanation under the cut

^these were my notes from last night LMAO. i was really tired. i remembered more as i was drawing. basically i was adam and i went into the vol 2 basement(?) and there was a tv (i think) and it was showing me advertisements for microwave dinners (one of them was fettuccine alfredo w peas) and some sort of news segment about a resident evil fan convention (????). can't remember what the 'evil merchant' was about??? anyways. kept walking and it became a brutalist concrete hallway with a glass ceiling and there was a fucked up creature behind the glass

^looked like that. its eyes kept following me. at some point the ceiling was concrete again but it was bleeding?? and then my body started splintering apart and it was basically catalyst but worse

^me (as adam) looking up at the ceiling as i became a creature. blood was dripping down the walls etc. some notes abt what i looked like after i transformed (some of this wasn't actually in the dream but i made shit up based on what my body felt like):

-iris/pupils have stopped bleeding, are now 'cracking' outwards (no clue what my eyes looked like. but there was a LOT of blood/'blood' on my face)

-mouth and teeth fused together, can't open (i couldn't open my mouth in the dream)

-two new mouths run down face from eyes. both have tongues and are fully functional (i remember having the vertical mouths w the tongues. super weird feeling. i licked my eye on accident it was gross)

-mouths on neck are cosmetic, not functional (i added them for fun. in the dream they were just holes i think)

-left shoulder got shifted around so much that it just sticks up like that. arm is broken and can't move much. (very stiff movement, just kind of hung there)

-just has a hole in the middle of chest. ribs are mostly normal but some of them can move/curl up like centipede legs. some ribs were sticking out of my back also (i think. felt like it at least)

-right arm got stretched out and fused to side of body, had to use it to walk (in the dream the hand itself was normal i just wanted to draw a weird hand. the arm rest of the arm was still weird tho)

-left leg was relatively normal, just a bit stretched out and broken.

-right leg was. long. it kept getting longer as i tried to limp away, until i stopped and then it stayed that length. i walked on the 'knee' and dragged the rest of it behind me

-also my bones were just. broken. just stabbing myself accidentally bc they stuck out weird and were VERY sharp. moving sucked

and thats all i remember. i know there was SOMETHING going on like. a plot or whatever but i forgot it :( like there was a REASON there was a beast in the ceiling but i cant remember WHY. oh well i got a sick alt adam design out of it lol. sort of. want to make an au based off of this ngl LMAO

#the mandela catalogue #adam murray #tw: body horror #tw: gore #tw: blood #tw: eye contact #foster's art tag #been rotating this in my brain for 3 hours wish i could remember more of it #catalyst but worse au #foster's dreams #<-forgot that one lol #tmc septendecim au

Regarding the Alex Kister Drama

edit: deleting all of my posts thats even remotely related to this entire situation except for these two most recent posts, idk this entire situation has been stressful for me, and I’ve never been one to ever make a public post about any kind drama, I’ve always been a quiet observer. These posts did get rather popular especially the one where I show a bunch of my Catifed TMC art in hopes to revive the fandom, but idk even having that up (since it was posted while everything was still very new and fresh and before Alex’s response) made me feel all weird. Idk I hate getting involved in internet dramas, I never actually have, but I just hate things like this in general. I think the only reason I said anything was because TMC is SOOOO incredibly important to me. For anyone who’s seen my designs/AUs and want to see more then just ask! I’ll still be posting about it! But I’m deleting anything that’s related to all of this.

so, a lot has happened and I have definitely made a few posts about it. I’ve since deleted them, since they weren’t too relevant.

but, the beginning of my most popular post was me saying how disheartening it is to see so many people leave the fandom, and now it’s even more disheartening. Seeing as

Alex is most likely innocent!!

he has made a response and there’s MANY posts explaining how flimsy the call out post by Ven was.

I don’t have much info right now actually and I’m far too busy to be able to read Alex’s response.

I say “most likely” since this situation is still very much on going, but they are MOSTLY innocent! According to most people they owned up to the actions they actually did (quote “trauma dumping on a minor”) but I guess I wouldn’t know yet??

I haven’t read it, and this entire situation is just an awful shit show.

that being said DO NOT SEND DEATH THREATS OR DOX ANYONE

even if Alex was actually bad DONT DO IT! And DONT DO IT TO VEN EITHER! Pleasee don’t harass anyone involved and be respectful, especially considering that this situation should’ve and could’ve been dealt with privately.

but anyways I’m mostly making this post to rephrase a prior post. it’s so awful to see how this awful situation made the fandom an utter mess of shambles. But I believe we can past through this collectively if we just stay strong. Let’s support each other and anyone who was hurt, and please be respectful!

it’s awful, and never should have happened, but people work better in teams, and let’s hope we can re-build this fandom after all of this!

!!PSA ABOUT TMC AND MY TMC CONTENT!!

Please read!

So, as you are all probably aware by now recently Alex Kister has been accused of some pretty heinous stuff. Truthfully, I believe the victims and even if the allegations are somehow false the behaviors being reported on some of the TMC cast and Alex as a reaction to it is appalling. I am truly fuming and absolutely heartbroken right now. I have literally tried to write this about 3 times today but I just can’t form the words to describe it as I’m struggling to process it. As you can imagine, I have come here to say that I cannot in good faith continue to be associated with The Mandela Catalogue anymore. I will not be making any TMC related content going forward. I do not want to be known for it, and I do not want to be associated with it. I know my page is heavily surrounded by it so I thought it was an important I made that clear.

Going forward, I do have plans to take my versions of the angels and demons and some of the ideas in the Human Disguise AU and make them their own story. I have put a lot into this story and these characters to the point it is barely TMC anymore anyways. I don’t think it would be hard to rework it to be something new. MV of the angels and demons also mean a lot to me I’ve spent a lot of time and energy on them. Truthfully, even before this came to light I was really considering making it an original thing. This was definitely the final nail in the coffin though. I’ll start on reworks and redesigns for that when I can. But for now I am going to focus on other things. I need a break from it right now and probably for a while. Reworks for the blog in general will definitely be happening soon. I will most likely go and delete a lot of posts/art, so just a heads up.

This is such a horrible situation for the victims and I am begging you to go show them your love and support. Please do not give Alex Kister or The Mandela Catalogue any of your money or time. People like him do not deserve a platform or the attention. I am really sorry to anyone who has been hurt by this situation. I’m sorry for what I’ve contributed. The document of the allegations is my pinned post at the moment, please share and take your time to read it if you haven’t by now. Please take care everyone and stay safe.

This morning I woke up to news about the allegation of Alex Kister. I can’t honestly process all of this because of how horrible and disgusting the situation is. I never thought that this sort of thing would happen, especially with the creator Alex himself.

Kister was one of my inspirations for me, but after seeing the doc it makes me feel so hollow and empty inside. It’s to the point where I don’t know what to think anymore.

This then had gotten me thinking about what to do with the Atomicdela AU. Sure I could separate it from TMC and keep the storyline with different character names, but I’m keeping as it was originally written as.

There is that saying where you separate the art from the artist, and I’m going to currently follow that. That being said, if you don’t want to follow me anymore that is perfectly fine. Your choice is your choice, and my choice is my choice.

But this isn’t to say that I am denying of what was released about Alex Kisters behavior. Again, all of this is horrible and disgusting. I hope you understand my current statement about this situation.

Until next time.

coming back/moving blogs

hey, been a while, hasn't it? i hope you're all doing well! this is my official coming-back-to-tumblr post, but it's a little different than i had originally planned.

i've decided it would be in my best interests to move blogs after a bit of thinking. i feel like coming back here would just feel too awkward for both me and you guys, especially with my now deleted drama post. i just wanna move on from all this bullshit, especially since i've had do deal with a lot of other shit, including college.

it's still @/evrydaygets-darkr, just moved to a different account. i still like the name, so i'm keeping it for now. this account will still be up for archival purposes, but it will never be active again. i hope you understand. (EDIT: changed to @henriiiii-1001 bc of shit that happened w ak recently. see this for more info and this for my official statement on it)

as a general life update, i'm done with my first semester of college!! it's been kinda fun so far! i've made a couple friends here and there, and classes (except for math) were super cool!!! i loved most of my professors, and i am honestly excited for the upcoming semester! ive been artblocked to hell and back though, so i don't have much in terms of new art or writing, but i've been trying my best to get out of it. i also gained a new hyperfixation, which is project sekai: colorful stage (abbreviated as pjsk), so i'll probably be posting abt that quite a bit (btw my fav group is wxs and my fav character is tsukasa :3 ), specifically abt stats and achievements w like song completions, maybe some pulls too!

im also gonna put a few updates on aus and oc stories rq:

for my tmc aus: the big ones i'm working on are getting new masterposts and infodumps for the new blog. i would rb posts from this blog to the new one, but due to some personal stuff i don't feel very comfortable doing that. i havent been able to cook much lore-wise for any of them, but i'll probably get back into the swing of things once i start interacting w you guys again. - for specifically father's duty: i'll hopefully have chapter 3 done soon. it's actually been almost done for a while now, i just need to think of the ending. thank you to those who've stuck with me this far <3 (EDIT: all my tmc aus are discontinued. read above for more info)

for murder files: i'm gonna change up the pacing a bit because i feel like i was going a bit too fast with it. i wanna take my time with it and make it feel as real as possible. it might take me a bit to get fully set up bc im probably gonna have to plan a few steps ahead, which i've barely done. i just need time to plan everything out and draw some shit

i will try to post as often as i can to get back into using tumblr like a true tumblrina (even though i see theyve made some more disgusting changes so yay </3 ), though it'll probably take some getting used to.

i really missed you guys. i'll see you on the flipside.

-henry/thatcher

Mandela Calamity

Volume 1 part 2 of my tmc au :]

It’s kinda slow in some parts and I’m still working on my writing so critique is appreciated as long as it isn’t rude!

CW: I don’t think there are any warnings for this part? Tell me if I should add some but I dunno

How long has it been now? It feels like an endless episode of misery, a surreal nightmare that tears through your heart. It felt like as if decades had passed, but it also felt like yesterday. Will it ever end? I don’t even feel like myself anymore. Whoever I used to be is long gone in the past. A past I crave to return to. To the happy days. Days when we spent every moment together. And all of that got swept away from us. Snatched by something twisted and sinister, finding pleasure in our agony. I can’t stand being away from you. Why do I even keep fighting, knowing I’ll never see you again?

Yet every day I pray; I pray and hope for you to appear in the doorway, the doorway I stare into for hours per day. I pray for the impossible. It’s not fair. It’s not fair. It’s not fair. I see your face everywhere, but you aren’t there. I feel your presence anywhere I go, is this you? Or is it only my desperate mind losing its grasp on reality? I’m losing my faith in everything, my family, my friends, myself, God. It’s not fair. Please come back to me. My chest is a gaping hole without you. I don’t feel human anymore. It’s not fair. It’s not fair. Please come back to me. Please come back to me. It's not fair. Please come back to me. Please come back to me. Please come back to me. Please come back to me. Please come back to me. Please come back to me. Please come back to me.

Marilyn woke up and quickly sat up, her heart racing and breath heavy. She felt like a dead frozen corpse yet sweat was still running from her face. She glared into the nothingness of the plain white wall in front of her. It took a while for her to process where she was and what had happened. Everything felt completely alien to her for a short while. She slowly began to calm down and her heart started returning to a more normal pace.

“Good morning, Mary.” Mary heard her sister say from across the room, sitting in a sofa and reading a news article. “Another nightmare I suppose?” Anna continued as she turned the page of her newspaper. Mary looked at her before looking away again. She couldn’t really remember anything. All she could remember from her dream was a blurry image of her daughter. Just like all of the other dreams. Nothing out of the ordinary. At least of what she knew. As soon as she wakes up all memories of her dreams vanish every time.

“I guess.” She muttered and threw the blanket to the side as she got out of bed. She didn’t feel so happy about waking up in a motel room right now, especially in Mandela County. She’d prefer to be in her own house and own bed. But she had to do all of this for her sister. Her eyes shifted to the nightstand where the digital clock stood, 9:13, later than she thought it was. It was a pretty long day yesterday and it took what felt like eternity to fall asleep. She would’ve felt like a wreck if she woke up earlier.

She still felt exhausted from all of her feelings, which seemed to bite harder now when she was in the place she swore to never come back to. “I got breakfast for you, when you’re done, we’re going to the town center …would be good if I found a job right away.” Anna noted and continued looking through her newspaper she had been reading. Mary looked over to her and saw a tray with a sandwich and coffee standing on the table next to Anna. She didn’t feel hungry, but she still had to eat. Letting out a sigh, she wandered over to the table, took a seat and grabbed her sandwich. It looked squished and old, like as if it had been in a freezer for two weeks. She took a bite out of it despite her lack of appetite, it didn’t taste very good, and it was pretty chewy.

Anna stood outside the motel on the parking lot beside her car, waiting for Marilyn to finish and come down. It took a good while. Normally Anna was always the late one, but their roles were reversed now. Anna glanced over the horizon. The morning sun had risen, and the sky was a nice pastel blue with only a few clouds to be seen. The breeze felt nice, it was neither too cold nor too warm. Just like what any other early September day felt like, except for the rainy days. Finally, after about 8 minutes Marilyn came rushing out of the motel to Anna in the parking lot. She seemed frustrated and tired.

Anna sighed and unlocked the car “Took you long enough.”. Both of them got into the car and put their seatbelts on in a hurry. “Says the one who’s always late.” Mary replied after she got in. Anna chuckled and smiled. “Not this time though!” She started the car and the old engine started running. She drove out of the parking lot and out on the road, on their way to the town center. It was only a 5-minute drive as the town wasn’t very big. Anna searched for a good parking lot, which wasn’t too hard to find either. She quickly parked the car and got out of it in a rush like an excited child. Mary, on the other hand, was in no hurry at all, she didn’t understand why Anna was rushing everything.

“Are you stressed?” She questioned while getting out of the car and slamming the door shut. “No, I just really want to get a job as soon as possible.” Anna replied and stepped onto the sidewalk. “Well, geez you don’t need to rush, it’s not like the jobs won’t be there tomorrow as well. And I mean, we have almost the whole day on us!” Mary said, hoping it would calm Anna’s mind, for both of their sakes. “Yeah yeah, whatever.” Anna walked at a fast pace anyway, completely ignoring Mary’s advice. Mary sighed as they walked together on the sidewalk. She had a feeling this day wasn’t going to be a calm and peaceful one.

They had been in 2 stores already, but no job so far. They either didn’t need it, or Anna just didn’t meet the requirements. It only made her stress worse, which also made Mary feel stressed. “Mary, look at this sign!” Anna shouted as she had stopped in front of a sign tilted against a lamp post. Mary glanced over at her, and then walked over to where she was standing near the sign. Open 9-19, looking for part-time workers. Golden oddities market. There was an arrow underneath the text, pointing towards the road to their right. It wasn’t a store Mary recognized, it was a long time since she last was here, but she still remembered most of the stores.

“Come on!” Anna grabbed Mary’s hand and without warning she pulled her with her down the road the said store was. Mary almost fell over as she did and stumbled quickly across the road to keep up. “Anna!!” Mary yelled as she kept pulling and dragging. “I can walk by myself you know!” Anna finally let go of Mary’s hand when they had reached the shop. There was a sign above it, Golden oddities market, gems you can’t find anywhere else. There were two big windows on each side of the entrance, and a bunch of products stood as displays in them. Anna pushed the door open, and a bell rang as she entered. Mary went in after her, her eyes shifting at every strange thing she could see in there. Weird sculptures, games she had never heard of, pirated VHS movies, old Gameboys, weird equipment for cameras and such, and way more odd stuff you don’t normally see in stores filled the shelves. The store wasn’t very big, but it still had so much stuff, it almost made her feel dizzy.

She noticed her sister had already started making her way towards the cashier counter, and she hurried over to her. An old man, probably in his 60s, sat behind the counter solving a crossword. He had long beautiful gray hair, it looked like strands of silver as it glittered in the light. He was wearing a red cap with a retro label and had a fit looking like it was taken straight out of the 80s. His clothes were colorful and pretty, but didn’t fit that well together. There was another counter against the wall behind the counter, where he seemed to have a tiny workshop with tools and such. A dog, a really old German shepherd, was sleeping on a big and comfy red dog bed that was placed on the workshop counter, which also had a little ramp that led up to it.

“Excuse me?” Anna said and stepped a little closer to the counter. The old man looked up and put down the pen he was holding. “I’m looking for a job, and I saw the sign you had put up.” She explained, as she hoped that she would get it. The old man looked at her for a while before he replied. “You seem older than the usual, mostly teens come here to work for the summer. But that’s no problem.” He said and sat up straight. “Is this… shop new here? I haven’t seen it before, from what I remember.” Marilyn asked as she stood next to Anna. The old man looked at Mary as if she said she saw aliens, he seemed almost offended. “New? I’ve owned this store since I had color in my hair!”

Mary felt a little embarrassed, she didn’t want this to be her first impression if Anna was going to work here. “Oh- I’m so sorry, I haven’t been here in so long.” “You don’t live here?” He asked as he folded the newspaper, he was doing his crossword on. “We’re from Bythorne, we used to live here about 10 years ago.” Anna replied and forced a smile, she didn’t have time for small talk, she just wanted this job already.

The man leaned back in his chair and nodded. “Hmph, I’ve owned this store for about 25 years. But what brings you back to your hometown?” Anna looked at Mary for a short moment before she looked back at the man. “I just need a fresh start with a new job. Nothing special.” She replied. “About the job?” She continued, already feeling a little frustrated because of her stress. The man nodded and sat up straight again as he opened a drawer behind the counter. “This week you can come in Thursday, and you might as well stick for Friday and Saturday if you want a better paycheck. With shifts for about 3-4 hours.” He said and looked through the drawer he had pulled out. “Is there any chance I can take fulltime instead? I’m willing to work as much as possible.” Anna asked eagerly as she hoped he would let her have it.

The man stopped looking through the drawer and looked up at Anna. “Fulltime, eh? That’s a first.” He mumbled and pulled out a sheet of paper from the drawer, along with a pen. Anna nodded as she held her hands together and could barely stand still. “I…, ma’am, you’d make more money working fulltime somewhere else. There’s not much you can do here fulltime.” Anna quickly stepped closer to the counter and held her hands in front of herself in a begging way “Please, I really need a job and I’m not qualified anywhere else.”

The man glared at her for a brief moment, unsure what to reply. “…I suppose it could work, I could use some more help cleaning and restocking the shelves sometimes, I’m getting pretty old.” He said and scratched the back of his neck. It almost looked like as if he felt bad for her. Marilyn didn’t understand why it was so urgent for Anna and why she couldn’t carefully spend her time finding a more proper job. She hadn’t even actually moved into the house yet, they were just sleeping in a motel for now. It all made her question her actions and decisions more and more, it didn’t make sense, something was definitely going on.

“Are you sure, Anna?” Mary asked, concerned for her. “Yes.” Anna replied, almost in a harsh way. Mary sighed and crossed her arms. The man held out the pen he had gotten to Anna, waiting for her to grab it. “You can sign here, and then the job is yours.” Anna took the pen and quickly signed her name on the sheet of paper in front of her. She seemed so careless about everything, she didn’t even spend a second looking at the policies and agreements on the paper.

“The name is Kevin by the way, yours?” The man asked and smiled as he took the paper when Anna was done signing. “Annette Allen, Anna for short, and this is my younger sister Marilyn.” She said and nodded at Mary. “Marilyn Allen?” Kevin said “I think I recognize your name from your news articles. They’re really interesting.” He uttered and put the pen back into the drawer it originally came from. Mary was shocked to hear that. She was a journalist, but she wasn’t famous of any kind. To hear someone recognize her and her work made her feel flattered. “Oh? Well- thank you!” She said and smiled.

“So, when can I start working?” Anna asked, still seeming like she was stressed out. Kevin looked to his left at a calendar on the wall, and then returned his sight to Anna. “Hmmm… how about tomorrow?” Anna smiled and nodded, she seemed more relieved and happier, now when she finally got what she wanted. Mary was still confused about her behavior. She couldn’t possibly make enough money out of this job to fix her house, it would take centuries. “Well… thank you so much, sir! See you tomorrow.” Anna said as she grew a big smile on her face and waved at Kevin, before grabbing Mary’s hand and dragging her out of there. “See ya!” Kevin replied and smiled back, returning to his crossword. Mary pulled away her hand from Anna and walked after her. Anna always used to grab and pull her ever since they were kids, but she still got annoyed by it.

(dw the og characters will show up soon..)

do u have any fanfic recs? I'm not sure what to read next.. (can be for tmc or any fandom!!!)

thank you for the ask, anon! I, too, often find myself scrolling aorund ao3 with nothing much to read-- so here's my personal list of fanfics that are well-written, interesting, or just plain fun to read in any way!

(apologies for the pings, authors!)

TMC

my number one recommendation is, as always, every work in the Hail, True Body AU series (ongoing) written by @mustangsart, which is an AU wherein Mark doesn't die in vol. 1 while alt!Cesar starts trying a little too hard to be human. the characters are complex, relatable, compelling, and they tie in a lot to each other's role in the story and the themes; and this is all accompanied by an excellent writing style and manner of prose. 10/10, highly recommend, changed my life, constantly thinks about this AU, etc. etc. read it now.

cut down the altar! by @missr3n3 (main fic completed, accompanying pieces to come), an AU wherein Jonah lives after vol. 2 and is there to deal with the subsequent fallout. the prose is simpler, but the characters are engaging and relatable, and the plot is riveting and interesting. this one's worth a good read if you're looking for Adam dealing with humanity issues especially.

what's the softest way to say by snapplebee on ao3 (oneshot), an emotional piece detailing Cesar's friendship with Mark with a fair share of codependence-- and its inevitable end in September of 1992. this one's. uh. hhhhh. arhh..agg., yeah. this one's a hard hitter. this one might make you cry. don't blame me if it does. it's short, but very potent.

suburb life, uncertain (what is inside?) by @mythicandco (oneshot), wherein Adam takes a lie detector test. like the previous oneshot, it's short, but very potent; it handles Adam's character very well, has a good serving of his trademark Humanity Issues, and ends ominously, keeping you thinking about it for a while.

other fandoms

i'm sort of taking these off my bookmarks here

I'm gonna have to recommend the pray for disaster series by @graffitibible (ongoing; fandom: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys), a series of works detailing the backstories of the Killjoys and associated significant characters. it's a big one (over a million words long!) and even I haven't managed to read it in its entirety, but if you can spare the time, do check out at least one of the fics in there. the prose and descriptions are immaculate and bound to hook you into reading through a good portion of its word count, and the backstories and characterisations breathe new life into the characters and make them much more compelling than current canon.

Carry Me Home by valleykey on ao3 (completed; fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen), a fix-it wherein Geto and Gojo travel forward in time from 2007, right before Geto would have massacred that village, to 2018, and see what could have been. this one's especially good for the way it handles Geto's characterisation and thought processes; it really fleshes out his character in compelling ways that somewhat extend from canon but is still consistent with the way canon presents him.

march of progress by Calamitatum on ao3 (completed; fandom: Detroit: Become Human), wherein Connor has to deal with the aftermath of the android revolution and his newfound humanity at the same time. again, this one has an excellent writing style that clearly showcases Connor's character through its narrative voice. it develops Connor in interesting, compelling ways; ways that the source material could never. (for the record, I think DBH only has a mildly compelling story at best, with the 'best' being Connor's segment.) check it out-- it's a pretty engaging read!

love, comment and subscribe by nothingunrealistic on ao3 (oneshot; fandom: Dear Evan Hansen), a series of transcripts of the videos on the Youtube channel Jared's Tech Inspect. based on that one marketing video they did, this fic is as lighthearted and cheerful as Jared presents himself to be, before taking a darker, more serious turn as the events in canon progress and Jared's mental state takes a turn for the worse. the unconventional format is effective in the way it shows both Jared's characterisation and the scale of The Connor Project's fame, as well as the reactions of the internet towards Jared and TCP.

anyway, those are my recommendations; do let me know if you find these useful. cheers!

Important announcement

I have been informed about a document that was made on the creator, Alex Kister. He has been exposed for being inappropriate with fans as well as being abusive to one of them. After reading through the whole thing, I've come to a decision. Starting from now, I will be separating myself from TMC and turn my AUs into original stories.

My heart goes out to everyone affected by Alex's actions. And to everyone that is disgusted by this news, my ask box is open if you want to vent to me. I know how much this series meant to all of you and I get that too. But I think it's time we let this horror series go and show support for the victims.

This is my final goodbye to the Mandela Catalogue fandom. I'll still be writing stuff, but it'll be about original content.

With that said...

Hi welcome to me rambling about how certain flowers relate to tmc characters bc this definitely doesn’t relate to one of my tmc aus what

(Tw for mentions of mark and Jonah’s deaths and mention of *that* basement)

Mark- would be a daisy bc usually daises mean stuff like “innocence, purity, and a new birth” (purity like what he his reassurances were) and are regularly associated with Christianity, specifically Mary yknow the lady who birthed Jesus so it’s pretty damn important to Christians. Also the whole “new birth” thing bc the alternate that was tormenting him turned into him after he died so

Cesar- a red rose, first reason being that he’s literally wearing one in his photo, but the other is that red roses mean like love and stuff (and also grief which is ironic), specifically red roses can mean both platonic and romantic (Im referring to platonic love here tho dw) but like it’s clear that Mark platonically loves him otherwise he wouldn’t have gone into his spooky house and done all that for him. Plus red roses bc color of Mark’s blood erm

Adam- would be a white rose and the reason is very ironic since they generally represent loyalty and are the most common flower used during weddings, but it also means change which it’s clear Adam did a lot of that *especially after the basement*. Plus they also mean “new beginnings” like his new beginning now being an alternate.

Jonah would be a lily, specifically an alstromeria for one specific reason, those typically represent close friendship and are usually given at funerals of close friends so I don’t think I have to explain that too much (plus they’re a bit toxic just like his relationship to Adam), plus this is just lilies in general but they typically mean hope, which is again ironic.

Feel free to tell me about your thoughts on all these and maybe some other flowers you associate with them

*Shuffles into the room* Hi I’m new here! I read through all of your hail true body stuff (including the entire Tumblr tag) and I really enjoy it! Your world building and characterization is really good and I thoroughly enjoy reading it :]

Also I think Soft Bitch by Rio Romeo is a potential Alt!Cesar song (specifically in the future when everything calms down for a quick second so the friendship/found family can happen)

Ah, thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot - characterisation is something I'm always nervous about in my writing, especially when it comes to writing for TMC as we don't always get a lot about the characters' personal lives so I'm just kind of trying to fill in the gaps with motivations and stuff that I feel could be plausible/make sense. So I always worry that I'm either not making the character(s) interesting enough or am presenting them in a way people will hate lmao

I just went and looked up that song and YEAH. It REALLY fits alt!Cesar and Mark's friendship (and Evelin and alt!Cesar's friendship too) later in the AU. How sometimes alt!Cesar misses being what he once was, but can't find it within himself to be that thing again whenever he considers what that would do to Mark and the rest of his friends/found family. That it's okay for him to feel that way because it's no different than Mark sometimes longing to go back to when he was 18 to be with Cesar again. When it comes down to it, alt!Cesar wouldn't want to leave the life he's made for himself. He loves his friends and family and whilst being without humanity and emotion was a lot easier, it was a lonely existence.

#hail true body au #mustang answers!#htb alt!cesar #htb mark #sorry for rambling lmao #i just really like this silly alternate with its/his identity issues

THE MANDELA CATALOG

heeeeeyyy guys :]

i recently saw the mandela catalog vol1 had been remastered and i SCREAMED because as an analog horror lover + avid mandela catalog enthusiast, this was sorta new content and i immediately watched it when it came out.

honestly.. wow. it was amazing! some people say it was underwhelming and missed a few scenes.. but i didn’t mind! it was a new style and alex really showed his expansion and improvement. im so happy for him and im happy he’s wanting to possibly remaster the series<3

anyway, the post for today is just recent mandela catalog art i wanted to share!! i have a big lore thing made up in my little brain and im infatuated with it at the moment. its too long to go indepth, but if any of the art involves any of my made up lore— i will explain!!

lets delve into this little alternate world :]

ART!

up first is cesar!! i wanted to draw my version of cesar + his alternate so here it is!… plus angel gabriel. hes just a little funky guy

upcoming tw for eyestuff!

ok.. so the eyes rolling back into his head was meant to look like cesar morphing into the alternate.. but idk, it didnt look right but i still kept it anyway!

gabriel just wants mcdonalds bro. he needs his sprite why do you think he killed the real angel gabriel

ver. 2

listen… i just wanna cope okay.. two of my favourite characters died faster than me trying to spell “existential”. in my eyes, mark and cesar were neighbours of course- but i see them as sorta best friends.

i believe since cesar’s alternate caused mark to yk… unalive, mark kinda blames cesar for it, when it truly wasn’t his entire fault.

im just tryna cope for two best friends dying

this is just interpretations of my mark and cesar alternates.. the last of my tmc art so far! i luv them so much

mark is just… mark. he’s a little melancholic and wanders too far, but he means no harm.

eliza is just my tmc oc, she kinda just has to deal with these two idiots in her house. cesar, because he did try to murder her, but failed and mark- because he stumbled into her house.

about the “human!cesar” part.. in my little au/lore whatever, “alternates” are created due to a sprout infecting its host, taking over the systems within, basically like a parasite. i believe that inside alternate cesar, there is still somewhat some humanity left, therefore creating the existence of normal cesar inside. however, cesar managing to control himself is rare, so i think of it like the alternate sprout is around 90% of him, whilst the rest is him. cesar has little clips in reality where he is able to talk to mark before the sprout takes control again.

mark is an exception, however. since mark had killed himself beforehand, he has more control over himself due to his self-inflicted death and not the alternate killing him. therefore, when the sprout infected him, it had less of an impact, but he is still considered an alternate.

the entire thing seems a mess, i know.. but its cool to me!! even without my oc there, i still think of this idea. its my own way of coping with character death whilst also trying to keep the elements of the original horror.

and cesar! there’s not much to explain here. the alternate does bite, so don’t touch his jaw.

don’t open your eyes at night though. he will be watching.

that’s really it (for now)! as you can tell i really enjoy tmc and i will stay for its future progress! its a great analog horror and if you haven’t checked it out yet, i recommend it!!

if you made it this far, thanks for reading!

ily all<3
