You Know, Since Theres An Active Fandom These Days, Ill Reupload This:

You know, since there’s an active fandom these days, I’ll reupload this:

Factory Rejects: pg 1 & 2 a post-tour WWatCF comic concept

We made these back in... 2014 I think? It was planned to be based around the psychological effects of the factory on the ticket winners, plus the recovery and eventual friendship between some very troubled kids. Because let’s be real: Willy Wonka was the antagonist.

We decided to take them down after we realised the story was partially mirroring our DID System’s introjects of said characters, and also after a particular subset of the fandom began to discover the comic.

There was one other comic page, which we might post another time.

System sketches from the last year or so. Drawn by various Alters, of various Alters, and of our Inner World.

It’s been a stressful, insightful, eventful journey since the May of 2019, having found out we had Dissociative Identity Disorder. A lot of things started to make sense, but in that, a lot of things were new and unrelenting. Those ‘episodes’ we had suddenly had a name- dissociation- and those ‘overbearing reactions’ had a reason- emotional flashbacks- and god our host was in such heavy denial of it all for so long.

But eventually the confusion let up a little, and we started accepting it, and working together to find coping mechanisms, and using our openness of it all to help educate others and fight the stigma. Things got better, but it’s still been incredibly tough. So, to see if it helps piece the puzzles of our fragmented being together, we’ve tried to document things in amongst the forgetting.

Mr Kensington; the primary Protector -- 28 - he/they - marionette

Some of you might actually remember Mr Kensington, one of two matching marionettes that we once thought characters, and eventually ‘Mental Guides’. In all actuality- and in hindsight it’s so very obvious- they were both Alters.

Mr K’s been looking out for us since childhood, primarily handling high-intensity situations that the others can’t handle. He's had to put up with a lot of shit, and we’re incredibly appreciative of him and his logical, no-nonsense attitude, and even- dare I say it- his sarcasm.~

the Archives - 2017 - Echoes of Time

One of the first big background pieces we ever did- or at least one of the first we were proud of. The fixation on Chromie & the Bronze Dragons was super strong back then, which was likely the only thing driving us to actually finish something so stupidly complex.

If we ever go back to WoW, we’ll have to finally do her questline.

'the Personifications' - Iris // Light/Sight - Final Concepts

'The Personification of Light, of whom- like all senses- lacks a sense: for her, it is Sound. Not that it ever stops her; spoken language is a newer concept, and visuals have been here since the beginning.

Rarely found in the same outfit twice, always found with a large pair of glasses, and never found wearing a grey darker than silver: Iris has been known to up the brightness in the lives she enters as she governs over her purpose.'

One of the more perplexing deities, of whom hasn't been entirely fleshed out in the story yet. But her design is finalised! Or at least, one of them; she always wears her hair/outfit differently.

Lady Margaret Cromwell - Concepts

Quick sketches for an old ‘Elite Encounters’ character. I don’t remember too much about her, apart from a bitter attitude about losing out on a Baroness title to her sister. The easiest way to her heart was wine and useful information.~
