For those unaware, Harebrained will no longer be a FNAF AU, and instead become an original series + webcomic based on everything that I have written, as all of it was so detached from the series that there really wasn’t a point- I was only being constrained by it. I’m very excited, and I’ve been having a lot of fun so far. Here is a run down of the changes/summary to Harebrained thus far, before I jump to new art and confuse people:
Harebrained is a comedic urban fantasy + queer monster romance, primarily taking place inside a shopping mall set around 2015, alongside a domestic setting. It is a queer-focused premise, both of the main characters are bisexual and Alex is explicitly a trans man.
The series surrounds Alex Walsh, an easy-going, misanthropic, leveled everyman mall security guard, and Marchosias, the Great and Mighty, (or, March for short) a former alchemist, scientist, and occultist before achieving his life’s greatest work: immortality via demonic conversion.
March was sealed for about 100 years, under the very grounds the mall was built over. Eventually he was summoned, not by proper practicing magicians, but by teenagers, who used a mall display statue as his vessel. However, in doing so, they forgot to break the seal he was cursed with, leaving him trapped in the mall.
March is bound to and posesses one of the two rabbit decorations outside a build-a-bear type store, Fluff & Stuff. Fluff & Stuff is popular both by children and adult hobby enthusiasts, and Alex has a particular loathing for it as he is regularly called there to deal with unruly customers.
The plot of Harebrained thus far is simple: once Alex discovers the Stuffy statue is alive, he works to hide Marchosias until he is able to lift the seal and escape. This may change in the future, however.
Truthfully, I planned to do this last year, hence the major rewrite I did initially, but I didn’t have enough to go off for this idea. So, this was always my intention, I just needed more time to write it. The core themes and characters will remain largely unchanged, and there will be more room for fantasy elements now. I’m currently in the process of making concept art and writing the script for the new webcomic.
SCREAMS AND CRIES AND CLAWS AT MY HAIR I AM IN LOVE WITH THAT FUCKED UP WHITEBOY THAT YOU HAVE CREATED I NEED TO BASH HIM AGAINST A WALL REPEATEDLY AFFECTIONATELY
He would have at least one mustard stain dot on his uniform at all times. He’d go “don’t mind if I do” if he saw a plate of cupcakes on the counter. Guitar on the wall of his apartment that he doesn’t know how to play, “because it looks cool”. Smells like weed, old spice desperately trying to hide various body odors, and pickles from the burger he ate 25 minutes ago. Refuses to dance and walks around with a cheap beer at least ¼th of the time. Likely still says “awesome sauce”
