TWO HUNDRED
I just wanted to say thank you.

This is a quick check in on our 200 milestone!

No bot here. You clicked this one and just got me. Sorry. c:

200 FOLLOWER SIGNAL ACQUIRED

Two Hundred Explorers Aboard

Two hundred. We actually hit the next milestone. c: I'm genuinely so happy seeing how much this little page has grown.

Thank you guys so much for following, chatting, favoriting, commenting, and giving my weird little characters a chance. Every bot has been really fun making and I hope you guys enjoyed them. I'll be working hard on some lore relevant stuff for a bit probably. <3 Hopefully my first demi human will appear in universe c:

I hope I can keep creating bots, characters, and worlds that people genuinely enjoy spending time with. There's still a ridiculous amount I want to make, and I'm really excited to see where we end up next. 💜

SIGNAL HISTORY // SOMEHOW THIS ESCALATED
THE LITTLE VOID GOT CROWDED.

Somewhere along the way this hobby turned into character writing, worldbuilding, image generation, music experiments, CSS, ComfyUI, increasingly irresponsible amounts of sleepless nights, and a creator page I apparently can't stop touching once it works (check it out though c:)

Turns out I really like making things.

✦━━━━━━━ ◈ ━━━━━━━✦

CURRENT SYSTEM STATUS
THE WORLDS ARE GETTING BIGGER.

One of the biggest changes since the last milestone is that I've gotten way more serious about building the worlds around the characters instead of treating every bot like an island.

The Aurelian Expanse going forward should slowly give a reveal of the world, through the bots I'll be making. <3

I regret nothing.
I will absolutely make this problem worse.

MASCOT DETECTED // LOCAL GREMLIN

RAE

You'll probably start seeing this idiot around more often.

Rae started life inside the Aurelian Expanse as a salvage specialist and somehow ended up becoming the little face I keep sticking on creator stuff.

So congratulations, Rae.
You have employment now.

Please ignore anything suspicious about her.

✦━━━━━━━ ◈ ━━━━━━━✦

OPEN CHANNEL // THE HANGAR GOT BIGGER
COME HANG OUT WITH ME.

Another thing that happened somewhere between milestones: I got invited into Lycoris' Chorus and somehow ended up with my own Theatre Hall.

✦ radiant-hangar ✦

That's where I'm dropping more detailed release posts, WIPs, previews, alternate art, creator notes, lore scraps, and whatever else I've gotten distracted by. Eventually anyway. I'm just starting >.<'

I tried telling Lycoris I was too smol for a room.
The argument was rejected. Now, I am Lycoris' Child.

✦━━━━━━━ ◈ ━━━━━━━✦

NEXT SIGNAL
SO WHAT NOW?

More bots.
More Aurelian Expanse.
More weird character concepts.
More experiments.
More pictures that make me immediately redesign something.
More scope creep.

Probably significantly more scope creep.

I'm not setting some giant follower goal and pretending I know where this ends.

I just want to keep getting better at this, keep making characters I think are cool, and hopefully keep making things that somebody else is excited to click on.

✦━━━━━━━ ◈ ━━━━━━━✦

01 // TELL ME YOUR FAVORITE BOT
I am extremely nosy about this.

02 // TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR RP
Watching you people derail the intended plot is half the entertainment.

03 // GIVE ME A TERRIBLE BOT IDEA
There is a non-zero chance I actually make it.

04 // COME FIND ME IN THE HANGAR
Discord. WIPs. Previews. Lore. Gremlin containment failure.

05 // JUST LURK
Also completely valid. c:

CREATOR TRANSMISSION // SERIOUSLY

THANK YOU.

Every follow, favorite, comment, message, screenshot, recommendation, dumb joke, bit of feedback, and story somebody has shared with me has made this hobby way more fun than I expected it to become.

I started doing this because making a bot sounded fun. I didn't expect to end up caring this much about the characters, the worlds around them, or the people I've met while making them.

So thank you for giving my weird little characters somewhere to exist.

Here's to whatever stupid idea gets us to the next milestone. c:

END TRANSMISSION

"This is not a bot."
— Radiantfurball7, making a bot page anyway
