in love with the idea of me, mount my head on a wall / sinful desires festering, under my pelt they crawl / so skin me, flesh me, tan my hide and render me preserved / my plastic eyes brimming with shame / remove the viscera containing deviance unheard / to be a girl is to be game

sketches of these two (and also WIP)
curious why there's a random influx of 17776 fans here once a month as of recent. where'd yall come from?
I also need to get back to posting about 17776 u_u I just haven't drawn anything I really really like recently
“Nooo you can’t draw those characters as animals!!! They’re human!! That’s cringe!!”
how it feels to remember that it is not common knowledge a character is aro (they r not canonically aro) (I decided they were aro for no reason)
First oc:
Info under cut
Some of the info on the ref sheet MIGHT be outdated so don’t mind that!!
Twine is my FAVORITE CHILD, my BABY, fictional light of my LIFE
☆ To start: basic info!!
Name: Twine Entan
Age: N/A
Height: 6’3” at default
Gender/Sex: N/A, genderless, no sex
Pronounz & sexuality: any prnz, panromantic
MBTI & alignment: XNTP-t, lawful good
☆ They’re the alien embodiment of the concept of duality!! They don’t exactly have a specific species though, so I’ll get into that first!!!
Twine wasn’t exactly, born?? They kind of just. Spawned into existence one day. That’s literally their origin. Well, summarized!
Their origin’z a liiiittle more complicated than that, but herez a mix of summary & detailed explanation:
Twine wasn’t conceived by parentz, they were simply formed by the universe itself! Or I guess. The multiverse. Cuz!! Twine was put together kind of liiiikeee,, a collage! The multiverse took bitz & piecez of the dominant speciez of many other worldz, and mushed them all together to create this abomination!! /aff ily Twine
As awesome as thiz. . thing. . . may be, there iz a sort of! Flaw!! Twine has no {proper} organz & no bonez! Not even fingernailz!
Thiz iz why Twine has no listed sex—they practically have doll anatomy
Since the universe could only observe so much from up above, it could only see the visible traitz of different speciez; last I checked, you can’t really see organz & bonez at a first glance!!! The universe didn’t really get all those detailz,,
Since they don’t have organz or bonez restricting their physical form, she can squash and stretch their body to his will! As seen in the ref sheet
Theoretically, Twine can stretch indefinitely, as long as they generate enough energy to manage that
This is also why their height is listed as “6’3” at default” and not just “6’3””, because they can change their height
Fun fact time:
The common species of the planet Twine was put on doez have unnatural colorz for skintonez & different patternz, but Twine’z specific pattern {black & white split} iz an impossible phenotype for the common species to have, so they’re VERY obviously not supposed to be there!!
But it’z okay—their friendz still love em :))
Twinez also physically incapable of being injured; since they have no blood, nervez, and essentially an infinite energy source, they just heal super fast with no consequence of injury
As seen in the image above—if Twine were to get hurt, a yellow light that I use to represent energy seepz out til the wound eventually closez itself
Small notez: Twine’z big pupilz are on purpose, they’re meant to represent black holez. & their design is supposed to include symmetry in order to convey the duality theme!
Twinez BESTEST FRIENDZ in the WHOLE WIDE GALAXY are their PALZ:
Aster Vesta {their BEST friend!!}
Tycho Lunaris
Kuiper Neptune
They each play an important role in Twinez narrative,,, but I won’t share that yet!!
That’z all I got {for now},, if you read allat, YOU’RE AWESOME!!! Have a fantastic day/night
i think the existential dread that i feel when thinking about living forever a la 17776 is moreso one wherein all of the things i love dearly and am excited about are all subconsciously motivated by the fact that i am going to die someday. my whole entire life is framed in such a way where not dying would mean that my objectives in life would become meaningless.
and i think that's super interesting, because this sort of story forces me to reframe my thinking--maybe as i am going about planning my life, i should think about it from the perspective of "i will literally never run out of time." because, really, the eighty years we have on this earth can feel simultaneously infinite and extremely small. but there's SO much time that we spend dreading the possibility that we don't have time for anything, when the reality is that we DO.
also, it makes me think about how excited i would be to be granted infinite time to explore everything on this earth that I'd want to. like I'd seriously become a 100% runner in real life. I'd do EVERYTHING. and when i think abt that, i really CAN become envious that the ppl of 17776, whose only enemy is boredom. so my dread quickly turns into deep desire, and i feel like those can often feel like the same exact things.

Happy birthday Pioneer Nine!!! I don’t have enough Time to do a full drawing like I wanted to but here is a little craft I made featuring them ^^
My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called “17776” 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯
Me: yeah whatever. I don’t feel shit.
5 minutes later: dude I swear I just saw a 15,000-year-old man playing Game & Watch games in a cave
My buddy JUICE pacing: the people from maine are lying to us
I posted this on a discord a while back, but I decided I should post a version here too. That being said, I present to you:
I HAVE GAZED INTO THE ABYSS AND THE ABYSS ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO WATCH A GAME
or
The culmination of a feverish night of theory crafting after a sudden epiphany like a vision from an angry god, which may or may not be pertinent to the plot of “20021, a Football Story” by Jon Bois, whenever that comes out
See, okay, the whole deal with this thing is; If either Nick and Manny get caught and fail to bring the footballs home, or succeed and bring the footballs home, it will become a big story that it was only two guys who stole the footballs from Georgia Tech. This tells Michigan State that the locomotive lateral was performed by two guys, and thus, it would have been almost impossible for them to split the balls up, meaning the 9 balls that MI ST went up by at the end of the locomotive lateral would have been all the balls that GTECH had (given that it dropped in rank to the 0 ball teams at the same time as MI ST increased by 9). If someone from MI ST took a screenshot of their scoreboard before and after the lateral they would be able to tell that by the time the lateral was completed:
1: MI ST has 24 balls
2: GA SO has at most 14 balls because they were a place below MI ST before the lateral when Michigan had 15 balls
3: SC ST has at most 8 balls because they were a place below GTECH, which (based on the number of balls MI ST increased by and GTECH’s ranking afterward) had 9 balls before the lateral
4: CIN, HOW, and TEX likely have 3 balls each, and if they’re not sure MI ST can collaborate with one of them. Additionally, if you know that a certain team has a certain number of balls at any point in the game, then if the ranking group that team is in never drops below 2 teams, then you will always know everyone in that ranking group will have that same amount of balls even if the original team drops out of that ranking group, due to the sheer unlikelihood of every team in a ranking group gaining or losing exactly the same amount of balls at the same time. Remember, it can be days between scoreboard changes. There is a good chance that every team already knows the tied for 5th ranking group have 3 balls each.
5. If you know CIN, HOW, and TEX each have 3, then MO through to UTEP must have 2 balls each
6. There are 28 teams with exactly one ball each. The 1 ball teams extend into the remaining teams section, where you normally would not be able to see rankings and wouldn’t be able to tell which ones are 1 ball teams and which ones are goose egg (0 ball) teams. However: all teams in the same rank are organized alphabetically, and you can see that the alphabetization resets between Washington State University and Air Force Academy. Therefore a MI ST player would be able to know there are 28 one ball teams.
So: 24+14+8+3*3+2*5+1*28=93
111-93=18 balls hidden off the field, one more than the number UAB is hiding in Stannard Rock Lighthouse
Will Michigan State find 18 missing balls alarming? I don’t know. Depends on the kind of story Jon Bois wants to write. I want to believe they will, starting a frenzy that uncovers UAB’s hidden dynasty as the most powerful team in the entire college bowl, which somehow forces UAB to resurrect their steamroller play One Last Time.
Maybe that’ll give Val something to talk about, other than loathsome mosquitoes lurking in limestone quarry ponds, which may or may not have contributed to the construction of the Empire State Building.
I can only say one thing for certain:
Stay in school, kids. It makes you better at cross-country football.

"If you want to enjoy life, get out of your cage"
guys would u mind...
warriors enjoyers how do u recommend re-reading the series? I read it as a kid but forgot most of the lore outside of Scourge (my favorite)
i made designs for the 17776 probes because i love them more sketches below
then the first thing i did was juice9 yaoi so that too
[insert some comment along the lines of “LMAO JUICECAT”]
10 & JUICE designs (for now)
i’m still trying to formulate Thoughts about 17776 but chiefly the one i keep coming back to is how it comes off, to me, especially at the last chapter, as sort of….forcefully positive? thinking of juice’s rapid-fire answers to all of nine’s questions. the way there’s no explanation, or things are only glossed over. humanity solved war? really? we developed technologies that fix any disease or injury, prevent them from happening at all, even, and they’re just everywhere? no one has to work, but money is still at least partially a thing? whole cities and states and countries are underwater, but it’s okay, they all lived and relocated and continue their cultural practices?
this sounds like criticism. it’s not intended as criticism. i find it endearing, honestly. i feel as though jon bois is telling me “shut up. shut the fuck up about realism and violence and selfishness for one second. humans are creatures of play. humans are good. this is a story where humans are fucking good, and there is fucking joy, for once, so stop asking questions.”
so, okay. i’m not questioning. i’ll live in 17776 with him. and i’ll even take an interest in football
