Ok, I'm going to talk about Ollie and Lucky Against the World and No Flash Photography Please because I cannot stop thinking about them and I will lose my mind if I don't tell. I love them so very much and both proects are still very much in development. Against the World is still developing their personalities and the puzzles and Photography is still missing most of the cast.
Despite Against the World being around for.. a while, I haven't done a whooole lot of work on it and there's a lot that needs to be done. I am so very excited to work on both projects more!!
Right, so the infodumping.
So Against the World is a about these two families that grew up together and they're joined to be like one big family and they go camping for Ollie's birthday one year and while they're out, Oliver (Ollie) Hightower and Elliott (Lucky) Wilkinson, do a little birthday photoshoot for him. So while they're walking around, they see these arrows on trees and they weren't there last year, so obviously, being a couple of 19 year olds, they decide to go exploring! It leads to this staircase, and they take a few pictures before chilling on top of it for a little bit, before being attacked by somthing they don't quite understand. When they wake up, they're in this bright, colorful world. So they have to try to navigate this new world, where they start changing, it gets harder to remember the real world, they meet strange people, and everything seems to be against them. At the same time, their siblings have to try to talk to the town's cryptid to solve the mystery of the stairs and help Ollie and Lucky escape. The kicker? Time moves faster in the stairs world than real life! And the cherry on top? They can only talk to them at night, AND they can't let their parents know!!
During their adventures in the stairs puppety world (the stairs world is puppets btw), they encounter a house. So Ollie and Lucky go up to maybe get help with something. This is where the two stories meet.
In No Flash Photography Please, a group of puppets in the stairs world just finished a show, and need to think of something new fast, to entertain the world around them, to buy their safety. They have no ideas, so they sit around a table, brainstorming and idea bouncing. Something important to note about the stairs world is that people usually encounter the houses when they've forgotten most of their real life. So, the newcomers are immediately accepted as a house member without a problem. Due to this, the house gets crowded really fast! So while filming a show for the world, the Photography crew are also working on building their little neighborhood. Also important to note that the camera is a puppet. And they can duplicate themself, and can not ever stop recording. So there's a knock on the door, while the household is having breakfast. They open the door and see Ollie and Lucky, and as per usual, they try to welcome them into the house. Usering them to sit down and get something to eat. Ollie and Lucky decline because they're going to leave soon, but they just need help with something. So this little exchange gets physical. Just a lot of grabbing to get them to come in and shoving away. In the big mess of everything, there's a flash of Lucky's camera, and then a thud as it falls, and Ollie and Lucky retreat. This has never happened before, and so they're all very much confused. So they pick up the camera and the printed picture and see that the people in the camera don't match them. They take another picture, with flash, and compare it. It once again doesn't match. It's the same pose, but different people. So obviously, this becomes the show. Solving the mystery of the camera, even though no one really cares why it's different.
I don't have a lot of the cast of Photography figured out yet, as it's a lot newer than Against the World. But I was going to lose my mind if I didn't tell someone. Also I kinda want proper documantation of it. According to my logs, I started Against the World on May 13th, 2022. And Photography on March 15th, 2023. There's a whole lot I need to do, but perhaps I'll be able to share the journey with my tumblr as I go!! I really wanna draw all of the Against the World cast, make the rest of the Photography cast, start learning animation and anatomy, and start learning how to sew!! So I have a lot of very big projects going on right now!! On top of job hunting, moving out, and my Luigi cosplay!! AND wanting to get frogs!!
Obviously, some projects are less important than others, but they all hold a special place in my heart, and I do hope to achieve them all. I am so very excited to get stuff done and share my progress!!
