What am I DOING HERE?!

I hate this place. I hate it's people. I'm tired of being a scapegoat, a punching bag, forced and pushed around. It's bad enough at home, with my workspace designated to the kitchen and I am constantly berated by the random people who come marching through. But here I am, in my worst nightmare. Imagine this visit without the computer! I'd have already put someone through a wall.

What a horrible memory that I completed my game HERE. In this horrific place, where every hour there's a new argument, complaint or irritance. With my shit-stirring younger sister who can't deal with no and bawls her eyes out at the smallest thing, and my arrogant asshole of a brother who lies through his teeth and expects everyone to behave as though he's king of the mother-fucking castle. Then there's those few serene moments that are constantly crushed by Liam not getting his own way because Rachael's sitting in his room. The room he DOESN'T EVEN SLEEP IN.

They're all fucking crazy. I'm not even taking into account my beer-guzzling woman bashing bastard of a step father, and my heart fills with anxious fear just typing that damn sentence. I swore I wouldn't complain this year, but I need to vent. I've already had one breakdown up here and nobody seems to care WHY it happened.

On the word 'why': I needed to go to the toilet, which in this place is forever a danger zone, since the door must be locked and nobody knows whether or not someone is in there. So y'know, head in there, and there's pee fucking EVERYWHERE. I'm not fucking joking. SO I have to wipe it up before I can go and then once I have refreshed myself I clean up the rest of it and wash my feet and hands. I'm so fucking repulsed and angry that if I was the She-Hulk some people would be in a lot of fucking trouble. And you know what the worst fucking part is?

My brother didn't do it.

LET ME GO FUCKING HOME ALREADY. Saturday can't come FUCKING FAST ENOUGH.

Strange...

Destiny.
A word with a lot of meaning behind it. To be guided into your path, rather than deciding it for yourself. It is one of Square Enix's most dealt with issues.

But, in my own world, I like to think I am the creator of my own path. The choices I made are what brought me here, rather than being guided by some force unknown to me.
Or was it?

I was watching Kuroshitsuji just recently. I finished it tonight. As I did, somethings clearly rang home to me- or rather, a sense of deja vu.
If it weren't for the angels, the backstory of Kuroshitsuji- the demons, the setting, the way the demon is portrayed, could have very well been a story from Atrum Somnium Terra.
I'm not joking, here. I never touched on it much because of the story centering around the Seven rather than other demons, but it is very possible to sell your soul. In fact, souls are mentioned in AST- it is the Seven's job to regulate them.
Plus, Terra maybe a modern world, but what time is Atrum set in? The Steampunk era, aka Victorian.
(how did I point this out, you wonder...I found an old picture of Blank. Guess who he looks like. Just go ahead and guess.)

It's happened before with FF8. My original fangame draft had the same plot twist as FF7- and the first time I played 13 years ago, I named Squall Zac. ZAC.

But meh. Dismiss my blathering. I've started a 'bridge' comic, Fangs, which is set after the second arc of Vivian and Visus's stories, while Blank is nursing the two back to health with the help of the two Lex's, Egaile and Zacharya (new character, will explain later).
After coming home from work, he and brunette Lex have a conversation as to how exactly Lex became a werewolf. Lex only agrees to tell Blank on the condition that he tell his own story.
If you've read this post in its entirity, you can probably guess what Blank's job is while he is in Atrum. Teehee.

So, I've been working diligently on Cosplay Crisis but I have occasionally been working on a project codenamed 'Lucidity' for now. I'm not announcing any dates, I'm not confirming ANYTHING- this project has just as much likelyhood to be dropped as any other side-project I've started away from CC (excluding DS:R of course, but including DS:RR)
Right now the cast list is:
Lex Crawford, 16, Terran
Blank, 19, Atrumian
Alice, ???, Unknown
I'm using Yanfly's Battle Engine Melody for it and I'll be adding more features as I progress. Right now I have a few different sprites done but nothing like walks. :c I've only started Lex's.
This is an ATRUM SOMNIUM TERRA~DARK DREAM EARTH game, in case you can't tell. There's heaps of information on it in the sidebar.

There are several stories/games I would like to tell that tie into AST, which are(all are codenames):
-Lucidity(Terran Lex's Beginning)
-Night Howl (Blank's Beginning)
-Rising Dusk(Atrumian Lex's and Vivian and Visus's beginnings)
-Moonlit Hearts(Blank, Lex, Lex, Vivian and Visus's meeting)
-Fangs (would would, ideally, be a totally seperate OVA that would come with Moonlit Hearts, shedding more light onto Atrumian Lex)
-Darkseed
-Darkseed: Revival Redux (Revival already being released in its shitty state)
-Darkseed: Awakening
-Catastrophe (Introduction of Kaira and Harrison, probably more characters)
-Convergence (The final battle!)
These stories all have their seperate meanings and plots but everything eventually ties together to create the Convergence (once known as Inversion). The Convergence is a result of the onset of the apocalypse, which is what Catastrophe is about. Once all key characters are established, they will come together in a final game to either save Terra...or destroy it.

I'm never going to get all these games/stories/ideas done, so I might make basic plots of all of them and just put them together. Once I end up dropping my ideas, I'll post the stories here.
