In Cycles and Cessation Official Masterpost

Hi everyone! I realized that I hadn’t made any masterposts for my aus and I figured it would be good to do that now to help with organization.

This will have any art, writing, music and questions answered that I’ve made for the au as well. There’s also a separate master post that has all of the fanworks that people have made for ICAC which you can find here. Both of these lists will be updated every so often with more work as time moves on. You can find any work I make for this Au by looking in the #in cycles and cessation tag on tumblr! All of the works will be under the cut.

SYNOPSIS: In Cycles and Cessation aka (ICAC) is an au that follows the plot of the hit indie game In stars and time, but Mirabelle is the one who’s looping through time instead of Siffrin. This au is basically a character study of Mirabelle, mainly because I wanted to see how she changes in the timeloop. (FULL GAME SPOILERS + A6SE/ “2HATS” & SASASAP SPOILERS APPLY TO THIS AU) Also for clarification for the future posts instead of calling each individual section “ACTS” it will be called “ARCS”.

no amount of budgeting will make up for the fact that we simply do not make enough money

no amount of therapy will make up for the fact that we simply do not make enough money

no amount of working will make up for the fact that we simply do not make enough money

No amount of wage increases will make up for the fact that a pursuit of infinite growth by a few individuals is devaluing currency and causing inflation as the gap between the rich and the poor grows increasingly wider.

calling someone out for whitewashing a character of colour ≠ bullying, hope this helps! and since the artist has not shown an open mind to the criticism that was given kindly and respectfully, they are an ignorant asshole <3

Trying to get into a new fandom and scrolling fanart by Top is crazy work because your chance of seeing someone get whitewashed is actually so high because it will have like 5k notes and dozens of positive tags.

Btw, if you are confronted for whitewashing a character the appropriate response is to apologize, reflect, and either correct the artwork and reupload or take it down. This shows that you actually care about the problem and are willing to put in the effort necessary to avoid racism and colorism in your artwork.

The inappropriate response is to double down and make excuses. How do you think this makes you look?

The former very rarely happens and it needs to happen more. Put in the effort required to portray black and brown people properly in your work. There are countless free tutorials and references all over the internet including the website you're on right now!

asks user why they whitewashed anthy in their recent art (as in, paler even than movie anthy)

gets told to go fuck myself basically

lol

anyway: anthy is brown and if your draw her as paler even that her movie design you've done a racism.

Everytime Steve is drawn with game accurate skin color, an angel gains it's wings and an innocent soul is redeemed from hell

anytime i see a white harrow, gideon, or john? blocked. cause if it pops up on my dash again, i’ll just get pissed off. it’s weird guys, it’s weird. not only has tazmuir said multiple times that they’re Māori, she gave Gideon a Māori name. draw them Māori or don’t draw them at all idk.

if your art makes canon black and brown characters paler? i don’t want it! keep it in the drafts! utilize resources to learn how to color skin tones accurately instead of whitewashing us

STOP DRAWING USOPP WITH PALE SKIN!!!!!

STOP DRAWING USOPP WITH WAVY HAIR!!!!!

AND FOR GOD’S SAKE STOP WITH THE MINSTREL LIPS!!!!!

also facades and false identities are so fun . many such variations.

someone accidentally slipping further into a facade than they intended . someone purposefully retreating further into a facade . someone accidentally dropping their normally impeccable facade for a moment . someone purposefully letting their facade down as a taunt or mockery or in a genuine way because they're finally in a situation where they don't need the facade anymore . someone whose facade really is just a tool that they have complete control over and it never falters or fails . someone whose facade is the opposite and they're having a really bad time trying to maintain their facade or trying to maintain their true self under the facade . many such good options. all fun.

i love you facades and false identities and presentations of the self and separation of aspects of the self and
