An Aquarium In Japan Was Closed For Renovations, And Their Resident Sunfish Got Depressed Not Seeing

It's like, 6 am for me right now and to wake up to such a lore dump is such a nice surprise!! (^o^)

THE BEETLE IDEA IS SO SMART!! I LUV IT!!!

Aubrey definitely would be the hardest boss, and I can't wait to see her!!! (´ω｀)

Ougghhhh I'm so tired, so sorry if this is a bit short...

But! I'll be sure to post some of my art of the Marzenie au as soon as my csp gets itself together!! ﾟ+.ヽ(≧▽≦)ﾉ.+ﾟ

the moment you’ve all been waiting for

Ziemia

Or as I’ve been calling her up until now- Rat Mari! Now to tell you the truth Rat Mari/Ziemia took me AGES to properly figure out and when I was first getting started with Marzenie I had no idea what to do about Mari- then I had the rot metaphor idea and decided “rats in the shape of a person is pretty horrible I could do that!”… thus, Mari shaped rat pile and some wooden limbs in there too for vague symbolism reasons? Which. What I mean by that is that I’m drawing a similarity between her and Sol

The whole thing with Sol is the idea of perfection, a person is not capable of perfection and so he must be a doll, must be wood and light and no more- Mari was once perfect too, but her idea is tainted and gone and all that remains is rot. Do you see what I’m saying here? I’m not sure honestly I’ve been brainfogged as hell lately and started this drawing two days ago only to finish it NOW, and to be totally honest the design isn’t everything I wanted from it… but it dawned on me sometime lately that what I do want would be very tedious to draw

I cannot physically draw enough rats for me to be happy with so I compromised with not that many rats- and they aren’t very good rats either I’m not that great with animals … anyhow! Why Ziemia? Well. I think I’ve brought it up before but the in-world explanation for this character is that she was once a nature goddess, like how Sol is a god of the sun- but she was tainted by something terrible and consumed by pests, so Ziemia (in my rudimentary understanding of the polish language thanks to imperfect software because I don’t actually know polish and am doing my best to choose correct translations) is a word that means Earth. There were alternate translations and other words I could’ve used, but I picked Ziemia because it’s 1: a relatively simple word that matches the other ones I’ve used and 2: sounds enough like a name that I find it easy to call a character that and 3: is relatively easy to pronounce for … what I imagine to be my mostly English speaking audience? What five of you there are- other then @/birdzman ! Who I think might actually be polish? Not sure but shout out to you if you’re reading this!! Not fully sure if I’m right but if so then uhhh I apologize for being a dumb little American because I doubt I’m doing these translations right, anyhow!

Rat Mari/Ziemia isn’t just accociated with rats, I also want her to have themes of decay and other scavenger animals such as maggots or worms, the focus on rats is to do with Marzenie’s setting, I guess the idea is that Rats invade homes in winter to survive, whereas bugs mostly die off in winter regardless of available human homes to inhabit, so rats are one of the only pest animals which persist through the snow, which is why they might appear in some places outside Ziemia’s tree area, whilst other associated creatures would be unique to that area

Last but not least of my statements on this character, Ziemia does not represent the grief of Mari’s death, but rather the tangible brutality of it, how death feels in the eyes of a child, the inherent horror of a corpse, of knowing a person was once alive is no longer so, the horror of feeling their body stiff and cold in your arms, arms that once held you … this is what the rot theme comes from, one of Basil’s frequent hallucinations is of her body, decaying on the rope, decaying where he left her.

Cough. YAY!!!!!

OH GOD I JUST REALIZED I DIDNT POST ANYTHING FOR 2 MONTHS

AND ITS BASILS BIRTHDAY TODAY???

I PROMISE I'LL POST TOMORROW OR IN TWO DAYS I SWEAR!!!!

GUESS WHAT???

THATS RIGHT, MORE MARZE FANART!

I used the folk dress from Krakow, Poland as the primary reference, since the au has some references to Polish. I'm so proud of this one.I'm sorry if it seems a bit rushed; it's because I got this idea just recentlyy. :)

I actually had to do some research, which was surprising since I live pretty close to Krakow, I was also tempted to add a flower crown, but I'm way too lazyy.

It’s late but I’ll just post it now anyway… Musial family tree

I made the base with an app I have for oc stuff and then drew over it, a little bit of elaboration on all the characters I’ve neglected give substantial information on, it’s still not much but yk… and for Basils father and grandfather I shared doodles of their Marzenie designs too since those haven’t come up yet

Two extra points to add to this:

1, for Basils grandfather I didn’t go into his death but the specifics are that he a construction worker and was working on a run down bridge when the structure collapsed, he drowned when he became trapped under the rubble and wasn’t able to swim up

2, for Basia’s older sister/Basil’s great aunt, I imply it a little but would rather spell it out…her face is scared because she was trying to save her sister when she got stuck outside during an air strike, the oldest was just shy of the explosion that killed he youngest, her face was disfigured and her arm had to be amputated due to severe burns, she also walked with a cane for the rear of her life until eventually killings herself out of guilt for not being able to save her little sister, Basia never talks much about either of them

hehe..Birdz art...

That's def going to be one of my bigger projects, considering that I usually draw one person per art, and this one will have around 13, if I counted right.

I think the Basil brain rot is getting to me somehow

Obviously this isn’t everything, it’s just everything I consider important … and it’s nice to have all this information sorted! There’s a myriad of other random Marzenie things and there’s been posts where I offhand mention plans I have for Aubrey, Charlene, Vance and Angel but for now this is well enough

Thank you for reading! I intend on giving this post actual tags, I usually wouldn’t but the small group that’s interacted with this content before have motivated and encouraged me to share it a little more so special thank’s! to all of my kind mutuals! Without you’d I definitely wouldn’t draw as much, teehee :}

Thank you sosososososoooo much for this!!!!

Finally, I won't have to need 5 open tabs (but I have to say that was nice) for Marzenie things!!! Sending u a bigggg hug!!!

This post appeared almost as soon as I started drawing smth!!! I'll probably post it here as soon as I'll finish (If I do finish it, that is) (´ω｀)
