[The Void Project] BACK FROM THE DARKNESS

I think I'm going to do one on Julian ;-; is it okay if I didn't technically void him though? O: I let him move out but I really regretted it after OTL
 
Alright, I just whipped up a story about Hazel.

Hazel hadn't planned for everything to go this way.
Five days. Five days since she had decided to move, five days that her own mayor hadn't bothered to check up on her. What had she done to deserve this? Hazel had trusted Lindsey. She had had been loyal to her, through the thick and thin, even when she had abandoned Celadon for three weeks. Hazel had never given up on Lindsey… Until now.
“I guess I’m off to the void,” she murmured, followed by a scoff. Of course she wasn’t. The void didn’t exist, it was just a mere fairy tale, used to terrify young children. “When you don’t have anywhere to go, you’re sent to the void, a place for the unwanted and unloved,” her grandmother had always told her.
However, Hazel couldn’t help but feel something was wrong. She felt as if someone was watching her, these past five days. It didn’t help that the other villagers were acting strange around her. She was becoming more and more disconnected with the town she had once loved.
There wasn’t much she could do about it, though, so she decided to wander around town, with hope that perhaps Lindsey would bother to show her face.
It didn’t shock her at all to find the mayor absent from town, but what she did see were Porter and Isabelle standing together, talking in hushed, urgent voices. Curious, Hazel scrambled up into a tree above the two, a place she could get a clear sound of their voices, and blend in.
“We need her out now,” Isabelle insisted, her face twisted with worry, “Lindsey’s house has been locked shut for days. This must be why, there is no logical explanation besides this-”
“Isabelle, that’s only a myth! I refuse to send anyone else to the void. Lindsey must be sick. You’ll see. How could a villager randomly get a curse anyway? Our town is perfectly normal!”
A pulse of horror shook Hazel. The void? They needed somebody to leave? They had to be speaking about her!
“She wouldn't be locked in for so long then,” Isabelle pointed out, “The mayor can barely take care of herself, if she was sick, she would have sought out Gladys or myself for aid by now! Besides, remember what happened to Rodeo?”
Rodeo. During Lindsey’s “break”, the bull started act oddly, as if he was slowly forgetting everything about Celadon. By the time she had came back, Rodeo had been essentially a mindless zombie. The only words he ever spoke to her were “I’m leaving.” It had been one of the most unsettling things Hazel had experienced. However, she had figured, like her fellow villagers, that he must have had a mental illness. There was no other reason.
Porter hadn't responded. A frown was plastered across his face, as if he didn't know how to respond.
“I only want to give Hazel a fighting chance out there,” Isabelle told him, her voice dripping with remorse, “So she doesn't end up like Rodeo. I don’t want it to be too late for her.”
It was then Hazel let out a giant gasp, which caused the two to glance up in shock at her, which caused her to panic, which caused her to fall out of her tree. As she plummeted to the ground, the world went black.

When Hazel regained consciousness, she found herself in a large, dark jungle… With two, beady red eyes staring down at her.
Rodeo.
“Welcome to the void,” he sneered, an ax in one hand, a burlap sack in the other.
He was going to kill her.


Yeah, the story has a lot of flaws, and the ending stunk, but I tried. e.e I'm going to write a sequel(s) to this, or maybe rewrite it. ^^

Yeah that's fine! :) Some of my characters I make up out of imagination (hoping I can replace them with real voided characters :p)


Leopardfire, I like that concept! The ending is terrifying for sure. It's an interesting thought that they would send the person to have the best chance of survival.

I'm going to post a few pictures here in a little while! Still trying to polish them off and upload them correctly!

EDIT: Oh! And everyone else! I love how all these ideas! I can't wait to see them more!

Amemome, again, that was a great! Poor Lyman. The koalas receive so little love.

I'm adding a new feature I came up with while trying to brainstorm. If anyone wants to leave information about voided items - villagers, human characters, old towns, towns from different games, lost items, houses, etc., you can leave it on here, and it might show up in a story later! This way our Void has faces to go with it! :)

(I know I'm already wanting to explore a story about a Plot Reset Character, and hopefully, sheepie will start her adventures soon and meet plenty of new people in the Void! And I'm sure there will be other moments where other creators could use a ready character :) So thanks for your help!)

I read this and I'm blushing a lot!! Thanks for liking the story.

Another character who lives in the Void: Bree. She was my first voided character.

Yay! We finally got Lawliet's drawing of Knox up! :D Love seeing beautiful people loving their beautiful work about beautiful stories!

Thanks Lawliet!!



Plot Reset

I'm going to start a comic series about a Plot Reset character! It'll all be in silhouette, and I've got a few ready to be churned out, so hopefully I can explore a lot of y'all's really neat ideas with Delete soon!




Meet Delete, the character made to be reset

No guarantees! But I plan on using as many of them as I can :)

Cool! (hehe, you can see a drawing of Tom Nook/ one of the nooklings through the paper. :))
 
Nah, you can definitely add more! There are plenty of villagers not covered and cool stories not shared :)

Oh cool! Well Kitt, Bluebear and Walt were afew of my favourites that left me :( but I might write something on one of them since this idea is so inspiring x3 Walt left me when I took some time off animal crossing and I was so upset when he was gone ;-;

But yeah, I'm really looking forward to reading the other stories <3

Good catch tokayseye! :p

And I have had both Kitt and Walt, that is such a bummer to lose them to the Void! I'll add them before I leave for a while :)
 
Ty! ^^ I also should have clarified on my post in the NL section that Anicotti and Ricky were from Chrome, mayor name Iris. ^^'
 
I think I've fixed everything I got wrong, but anyone, let me know if I've messed up :)

ALSO

I've been thinking about it a lot, and I've decided to set up a secondary Tumblr blog for this project. It will just be to help with organization. That way, instead of having to sift through these pages to the art, you can just click and go. Everything on that Tumblr I still want to be posted here! That way we can easily comment and talk. This is, after all, a TBT AC endeavor.

I'll only post with permission from people. From here on out, it will be assumed that I have your permission to copy and paste it over to Tumblr. But since I'm just now starting this, I'll wait for your permission before posing something that's already been posted these past few days.

And I promise I'll stop spam-posting soon! :p I feel like I post every hour. But once things get settled, I shouldn't need to update so often!

If this posted successfully then this is a picture of Curlos from my last post on page six. Look at how evil he is with his shadowy face and comic sans caption.

Say this isn't too much is it? The guidelines say 'keep things disney' and I'm sure there have been darker things in disney considering all the off screen deaths but I thought I'd ask, it's not like axes in ACNL do anything but bounce harmlessly off the characters. Also I don't know how to put a spoiler thing on there so if someone could tell me I'll do that.

I definitely want to respect Curlos because he is holding an axe and looks very determined, but I'm not sure I could take him seriously with his hipster blue scarf and comic sans angry font.

"NOT THIS TIME!!!"
"No, of course not, of course not. Why don't you put the axe down, and we get hot chocolate and you tell me about it?"
 
Ah yes, I was just thinking 'what is the most evil font I can think of?' The scarf is actually that periwinkle tee that Rory wears, I hated that shirt and Rory somehow got half my town wearing it, I saw him talking to Curlos right before he changed into it and I was basically like 'you have betrayed me for the last time Curlos' because he was already on thin ice after selling me a fake painting. I thought that scarf was a good choice for evil Curlos. Even though it isn't what he was wearing when he left and it's not his base clothes, I feel like it represents everything wrong with my version of Curlos.

The weird thing is that I am liking Curlos more and more ever since he left, really he hasn't been that interesting to me until he became 'Crazy Curlos, psychotic hipster sheep of the void.' Seriously it wouldn't surprise me if he became someone's new dream villager based on this whole backstory we gave him.
 
I know I'm already planning on building a town based off of my favorite characters that will show up here! Not that I know any of them yet, but they'll show up one day :p And yeah, Crazy Curlos, the Psychotic Hipster Sheep of the Void is about as amazing as can be imagined!
 
Esper, I really want to keep things to this thread, because I know how easily it could spill over into other sites. I'm still exploring the option of expanding, but for now, I'm trying to emphasize this one. Would you be up for breaking it up into a weekly serial, or something like that?
thats ok! i'll just post it on here for now, i already have some chapters in mind for my story, i'll post maybe one or two chapters in a bit if thats ok
 
I'd like to add Midge and Sheldon to the void residents list. I'm also going to start on Sheldon's story, so you can look forward to that!
