📝 Samkira's Untitled Stories 📌
Last Updated: 11/16/24what was originally a concept in mid-late 2017 has become its own universe inside my head!i'd like to make this a web series, so info here is VERY simplified, unmentioned, or outdated!
CW: some characters handle/suggest sensitive topics; though much is omitted here, the topics may exist elsewhere!
A birth of a galaxy through the hands of 6 kids and a robot. | A young traveler searching for home in a world that wants her dead. | Teenagers trying to live life on a dying planet at the end of time. | Smaller stories unrelated to the bigger timeline. |
🍃 PROLOGUE: Catharsis Incarnate
⚠ Though its not explicit HERE, the actual story/art may contain mental illness, blood, violence, death, suicide, trauma, and self-harm. ⚠ The Prologue depicts the slow development and finalization of WORLD-MIX through the lens of a few kids that grow up with too much responsibility on their shoulders. It begins on Earth and 3 other planets, and the narrative kicks off in late January 2018, spanning until around 4XXX. SUMMARY :It's January 2018 in the southern part of California; 8th grader Xavier decides to skip school for a day. He spends his morning with his online friends and notices that the underdeveloped SMS they use finally has an update. The big update includes voice and video calls but requires payment. After stealing his mom's credit card information, Xaiver successfully joins a call with his six other friends— only to realize half of them aren't human? The platform Xaiver used to communicate has always been pretty limiting until the update... Turns out that's because the software has been accessible through the entirety of space! As the friends figure out what's going on, Xaiver and the two other humans catch magic through their screens and start causing problems. Case in point: Xaiver throws an overstimulated tantrum, loses his mother in the crossfire, and accidentally swallows Earth into void excluding California. When Xaiver calms down, the cast of 13-year-olds put their extreme differences aside to preserve humanity, as well as "improve" their own planet situation. Skip a few years, and they become demigods who end up coalescing a new solar system.Main Inspiration : My childhood (elementary), Homestuck (💀)
Characters:
🍂 WORLD-MIX
⚠ Though its not explicit HERE, the actual story/art may contain abuse, trauma, mental illness, blood, violence, and death. ⚠ WORLD-MIX is another story section, temporarily named after the setting. WORLD-MIX itself is an extremely compact galaxy made of a mix of small worlds (get it?) called zones. The story takes place in 5XXX, is a continuation of the Prologue, and is about a young girl wanting to find home. SUMMARY :Lailie finds herself as a foreigner in a new world out to get her, with no recollection of her life before age five. WORLD-MIX isn't particularly fond of outsiders. Nearby, Li and her friends live a much more peaceful life in the forest of Zone 0, Varius. They are hunters in their pastime and have been trying to chase down Lailie for years... Li's shortcomings in her performance have been the scapegoat for their lack of success. When Lailie is finally caught, Glen, Acacia, and Noel realize she isn't as dangerous as they thought, and they have a change of heart by accepting and assisting her. The group meets Troi, a foe-turned-friend from Zone 5, Gaia. With a mutual sentiment of being alienated, Lailie and Troi travel the rest of the zones with the group, meeting and battling the Zone Keepers along the way— all with the goal in mind of finding a place where they can belong and call home. While on their travels, they uncover forgotten history in WORLD-MIX, and find themselves getting involved with the business of the god-like Zone Keepers. The group's goals are met with distractions. Meanwhile, Li and Lailie still have a deep hatred for each other.Main Inspiration : Undertale, OFF, Pokemon, me!
Characters:
🍄 Drafted
⚠ Though its not explicit HERE, the actual story/art may contain blood, violence, death, suicide, abuse, trauma, mental illness, drugs, cannibalism, trafficking, body horror, discrimination, etc. Dang, that's a lot. ⚠ Drafted is a more character focused story about teenagers trying to live their life on a dying planet named Draft. The story takes place at the end of time and space, where an overcrowded and miserable population are the last living organisms on the last mass of land to ever exist— their end is imminent and unknown. SUMMARY :Five resides with their friends Sike and Opia under the roof of Mr. Mecha— in a rundown house on the equator of their planet named Draft. The story as a whole is about these teens and the population around them casually living the best lives they can manage, unconsciously waiting for the end of time as they know it. For you see... Draft is the last mass with living beings to exist. Same timeline as the Prologue and the main WORLD-MIX story— but absolutely nothing to do with it as it takes place so far into the future. So now we have completely different rules, not even the magic matters anymore. As for its living environment... it is quite something. Overpopulated. Disgustingly low moral. Questionable beliefs. Horrible system. Almost everything going on in this planet is completely nuts, disagreeable, and stupid judging from our eyes, but to the people living on it? It's the expected norm. As for how long this society will last... Who knows? Everything can end at any moment, and there is only one thing that is stopping that likelihood from happening. Life is precious. Some people want to keep living. Some people feel like they're surviving rather than living, and rather finally let the world die, ending all suffering. And some neglect those trivial matters and just like to see where it all goes! We like to have some fun here on Draft. Whatever we want. A little tomfoolery. A little living!Inspiration : Many songs (Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal in particular), my childhood (highschool), P5R

🌼 Extra
My focus is mostly on the three big main stories, but here are some smaller ones I've made/am scheming for!
Pillage of the Night Sky (2020)A video game concept where the player exists as the Moon, and their presence grants the young protagonist, Sun, the ability to make wishes come true using shooting stars and dreamscapes. The player guides Sun through daily life after they've been a shut-in for an undisclosed amount of time. They reunite with their childhood best friend, Ali, and get to know the lives of other people by wandering an open campus college, deciding to take the problems of others into their own hands. Sun eventually realizes they might have gone too far with wishing problems away, and are faced with the choice to finalize their wishes or return to a truthful reality.Inspiration : ENA, Persona 5R, OMORI, Hollow Knight, Sonic Mania, Celeste, Night in the Woods
My Way (2024)A one-off queer story where school starts and two closeted teens, Kit (he/they) and Haven (they/she), make friends, prevail over struggles, and help each other pass for Homecoming. Draws from many parallels with my own trans experience. (I also thought that Homecoming was just an earlier Prom, that's my bad......)Watch their animatic here!
