if there's already a thread for this then please someone redirect me but otherwise HEY WHO ELSE READS THIS, PLEASE REPORT for those unfamiliar with it, NEO-KOSMOS is a relatively newly started webcomic by Shelby Cragg (who contributed to Homestuck, providing Calliope's Art/artstyle), Amber Rogers (egomatter on twitter and tumblr, a Steven Universe revisionist) and now also (joining announced with the latest update) Adrienne Garcia (paperseverywhere on tumblr, also working on Hiveswap). The latest update even has music by Toby Fox! (of Undertale fame, also responsibile for a lot of Homestuck music if you've been living under a fandom rock) it's got suuuuper cute art, and it's so far about human kids living in isolation and lesbian alien doctors. anything beyond that is spoilers- which, while i can't promise there won't be any in the rest of the thread, i'll at least avoid in the first post :P for those who have heard of it THERE WAS JUST AN UPDATE AND PLEASE GO CHECK IT OUT THERE'S ANIMATION AND SHIT
oh man talk about timing then HOW COOL IS IT ALSO HEY YOU SHOULD DRAW A FANKID AND FANDOCTOR THERE'S A BUNCH OF THEM ON TWITTER (now where did i put those pictures ffft)
ffff but that would involve NOT BEING LAZY GOSH i'm really lazy so fucking lazy. i have like eighty billion characters already don't do this to me
peer pressure peer pressure just draw a kosmosona/doctorsona it doesnt gotta be a new character nah that's fair lmao now off i go to draw fanart for this NEW CHARACTER Spoiler: 1/25 Update i seen people calling triss 'space jasper' already LAUGHING FANDOM IS PREDICTABLE
fandom really is predictable i didn't even really think about reading it till today even tho i follow both shelby craigg and amber rogers on twitter like???? brain u been following them for a while why have you not read their comic???? the latest update was a+ tho i was glad i picked up reading today
GAH I JUST. I wanna. And I can have mine be trans because they and I think Spoiler: Spoiper technically Iris is amab? Maybe? But she's so cool and I'm so worried triss you are awful and yet so badass.
yes yes you totally can and Spoiler: spoilter hey guess what, ur right- AND ALSO there's this THANKFULLY APPARENTLY SHE'S NOT ON THE STATION SO LET'S HOPE SHE'S SAFE FROM HOT BEEFY PIRATES
honestly tho shelby's ask.fm is a goldmine of OOC info about the setting, a friend of mine spammed her with xenobiology queries back when i was doodling compies
Spoiler Oh my god this is best representation. I am. /continues flailing /fails harder. I should probably not find the doctors so hot...
I mean fair but. Spoiler: Spoiper Gah. All the pretty female (?) docs. And just. They're chill about the trans thing. Just. So. !
Spoiler: spoopspoop @peripheral lmao fuck 'should probably not' i definitely think they're hot- but then i have long embraced my xenophilic tendencies haha their openness for the kids making their own gender decisions makes sense, especially if they wanna study humans sociologically! (and yes it's just generally wonderful) and apparently they're single-gendered (i think) with 'they' pronouns typically- and 'she' is a pronoun used to indicate emotional closeness? Spoiler which makes xaveria's change of choice of pronouns for zehra all the more heartbreaking @blue saaaaame- tho this latest dialogue helps fill in a few gaps in the setting i was wondering about! Spoiler we've got multiple alien races (at least three shown onscreen, compies, notauris and whatever that one tye caught a glimpse of), we've got treaties between some of them. the attack on the raising facility was not a sanctioned 'act of war' or anything (which is an idea i was considering). but oh no now tye is basically on their own (provided xaveria isn't jUST LYING DOWN TO HAVE A NAP, COVERED IN BLUE KETCHUP)
o and egomatter shared a comic of their own on twitter+tumblr which features a compie cameo so we MIGHT be able to use that for possible-canon additional information!
omf............. triss........... tye........ (MAN im loving how these little animated segments are done, sound or no sound- DAMN GOOD AT ATMOSPHERE
