Overhauling an Old Story! | Concept Corner: HEARTLESS #1

[@ABDIllustrates]

Howdy y’all, thanks for stopping by! \(^^)/ This ended up being a real big video -- I hope y’all enjoyed it! It feels like forever since the last time I worked on a speedpaint, so it was nice to get back into that familiar editing rhythm again. It was also a ton of fun to play around with this new format! I’d definitely like to have a go at it again; so pls lemme know what y’all would like to see or hear about next time, and I’ll see what comes forth from the depths of my old sketchbooks 👀✏️ (Also, what was your fave character or story snippet from this video? I’m super curious to see what y’all think 👉👈)

[@leftonred11]

my favourite character concept was probably Eira, but in story I always love the rowdy boys so Dopple would probably end up being my favourite lol

YES. It'd probably a small villian, but I love the idea of Flint being the really supportive one and celebrating every small victory. (Now I really want an episode where the characters are forcefully separated and we get to see how they act by themselves, cause Flint seems like the kind of characters that's really supportive of others, but desperately needs validation from others to the point of genuine fear if it seems like someone isn't proud of him... I'm dumping my own shit on him, oh god.)

Idea for Eira rejecting his magic: Perhaps the reason the kingdom is covered in snow is because of magic. Like, some magical accident or an evil wizard. Because Eira's magic is focused on ice and snow, he has the same type of magic that caused this eternal winter which is why he's so ashamed of it. And if an evil wizard is responsible for the winter, maybe Eira is one of their descendants.

[@miscellaneousartsisgay]

This might be able to tie in with the fact that he was a street punk in the past. Maybe he disagreed with his family about this, and was either disowned or ran away from his family on his own. And he just doesn’t wanna be like his family/ancestor so that’s why he’s so unaccepting of his own magic.

I love the idea of all of them running through a forest. Like just imagine: Heatless running through a forest or park chasing a butterfly and he kills all the plants, but then Alchemy runs after him, and changes the dead flowers to live, pretty ones! Then Flint runs past and they burn a little bit, And then Eira goes past and the plants get all frosty. After that, River runs past, stops, regrows the plants, and continues to try to catch Heartless. Finally, Dopple runs past and the flowers double in number. And then it cuts to a townsperson sitting on a bench who just witnessed that, and looks absolutely bamboozled. Idk, just something i came up with to play with how their power work.

The outsiders are defeated, scattered across the floor behind him. Even if he ran, he wouldn't get there in time. This man, this insolent, disgusting invader, knows it. It's in his eyes - triumphant and gleaming, sickly victorious. Like every gang member on the streets that hurt people, just because they could. He would hate it, but he can't think through his horror. Not him, he can't help but think. Time has slowed but every millimeter that dagger crawls forward is too fast. Please, not him. *CRACK.* His vision whites, and then it's back to normal, except it's too dim, where is his king, where is - ? Please, he thinks again, and his tears freeze on his cheeks. His eyes have adjusted. The windows have been frosted over, ice covering the stone of the floor and walls in a blast pattern, deadly and explosive. Spikes rise, sharp and fatal. His king's breath comes out to add to the white of the room in little puffs. There is blood on the side of his face, but he is alive. Snowflakes grow out from dust, water forming crystals on specks of dirt and falling when they become too heavy. *Not him,* he had thought, and ice had formed from him, a sick imitation of shaping snow. Eira knows he is just as filthy as the dust in the center of snowflakes, but for now, with his king alive, he is too relieved to think about that.

Me: "Time to add some PHYSICS!" One possible explanation is that his magic requires him to use some of his own body heat to produce fire. As a consequence, his body is used to absorbing more heat than a normal person, which, when heat is already abundant, could be very uncomfortable.

I like the thought of Eira being in love with the king, maybe possibly that could be the reason why Eira rejects his magic? the king (being the ruler of a anti-magic country) could be against magic and although he knows Eria is magic, he demeans Eria’s magic usage by saying “you aren’t like those wizards” or “you’re different” causing Eria to sort of repress his magic bc 1) he’s in love with the king but also 2) he’s grown up with the view of being magical as something bad but only him being the exception of this stereotype. The thought of rejecting a part of yourself for the sake of someone else could be very relatable and angst worthy. i think it would be really nice to see Alchemy teach Eira the importance of self-love and not sacrificing a piece of yourself just bc you want someone else to be happy. also i think it could reflect Eira being a closeted gay? possibly reflecting the inner torment of being a young kid in love with someone you were taught you shouldn’t love bc of their gender and gradually hiding and rejecting that part of you just like Eria with his magic? idk but i think that would be really nice but i’m also just a glutton for angst and one-sided love lol :]]

Crap I’m late but here’s some ideas: Eira’s ice sword could be “unlocked” during a battle. He could start off with a regular non magic sword, and by the time he’s started to vibe with the gang (though still rejecting his magic) he gets into a duel. Right before the fight everyone is giving him advice on how to win, and some are telling him to use his magic. Maybe Alchemy tries showing Eira how they use their staff to amplify/control their magic, suggesting he do the same with his sword. He gets really anxious about it. The duel begins, and the bad guy who is maybe a magic user? knocks the sword out of his reach/destroys it. His newfound friends yell for him to use his magic, which he fully knows he cannot control, and doesn’t want to hurt them, but he tries anyway. After a few failed attempts he remembers the advice Alchemy gave him, and creates the ice sword as his metal one is gone, winning the duel. Also you mentioned Eira is the childhood friend of the king...and that he’s gay...so like....what if... “Sorry, should’ve introduced myself. I’m Doppel.” “Uh-huh..and who’re you?” “I-I’m uh, also, doppel.” “What?” “ ᵂᵉ’ʳᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵃᵐᵉ ᵖᵉʳˢᵒⁿ” “What?!” *”He said, we’re the same person”* Also Doppel SHOULDN’T HAVE A REFLECTION because the clone of himself is like...his reflection?

Like the anxiety side having an issue of wanting to be treated better, given a separate name, or even just treated as something separate. He's been separate from the original boy since they were small children and it just feels like something that would come from a situation like this. They started the same and my brain really wants to poke at the fact that they're separate now. There's also the really messed up option of them figuring out how to put Dopple back together and having to make that choice. Lose the basically brother you made when you were a kid and get to be whole again, or stay the way you are right now. Like dude, the angst possibilities with those two it so strong!

And then the Timid one just, gets up, and charges Creed because he's not gonna let them hurt his _friends_ damnit, he manages to get a few good hits in, and then... Creed uses his power on him, and the other Doppel shatters like glass. And that's when the battle takes a turn, because now, *it's personal.*

[@gingersummer4005]

@@strangepineapples3375 i can imagine heartless being like “i will not go to your funeral btw” while river cracks her knuckles.

[@Silver_Crow144]

I can imagine Eira being naturally very cold as a side affect of his powers and if they had to travel through a hot environment, Flint would just be clinging to him and Eira would basically just be forced to drag him along while also being flustered

Not to be dramatic or anything, but I would literally die for them.

i just hada thought- with the bad guy that nullafies magic, would that mean he could delete the timid dopple? they're both already weak when it comes to magic and the timid dopple happened because of magic, i just imagine the two dopples running away, the timid one getting caught, brash turning around to help and then *in one moment the timid dopple is gone, the brash one has all his powers back for the first time in years, and Creed is very very confused as to why the person he just grabbed disappeared*

And then OG Doppel just snaps and goes on a full rage, Creed doesn’t even have time to process what the friggles just happened before he gets a happy reunion with the pavement.

[@nevisnebis1207]

That’s rude, why’d you have to break my heart like that

[@JamesCPotter13]

Imagine if it’s the other way around, and Creed reaches for both of them, and you see someone’s hand fade, and when we look back, TIMID has tears in his eyes and is ANGRY. Because TIMID was the original and didn’t realize, because the duplication knocked them out and they woke up with the same memories.

ATTENTION ALL SHIPPERS Imagine this dynamic real quick: The group has to go through a hot area and Flint isn't functioning well. Eira has to reluctantly use his magic to cool him down while reminding him of how much of an idiot he's being but at the same time being kinda glad he can help-

How does Heartless meet Alchemy? Heartless somehow ends up in a gay bar. Alchemy is there in their male form. Alchemy makes some moves but Heartless is completely oblivious. Alchemy now realizes that this small man has a total of 2 brain cells. They're like "how are you alive" and Heartless is like "I'm good at dodging stuff!" and Alchemy is like "god bless this stupid child. he's gonna die out there." Alchemy joins the party! Eira backstory idea! Eria's parents and close family were hella discriminatory... and since he was such close friends with ROYALTY and because his family were such greedy bastards they forbid him from using magic, tho future king and his family were totally chill (heh) about it. So deep down he knew it was okay and not to care about what others say, but... internalized magic hating!!!! How does Doppel join the party? He yoinks Eira's wallet, is the basics. There's this long chase scene where Eira's screaming about being of high rank and Doppel's just like "lmao get rekt loser" Scene ideas? Eira uses ice magic. Doppel reflects it at Eria's feet. Ezra was standing in one of those waterways, stuck. Flint frees him. Gay panic attacks ensue. How they catch him: Doppel's in a tree. Heartless uses his magic to kill the tree. Doppel goes to run away but Alchemy CLOTHESLINES HIM WITH THEIR STAFF. Victory. I'm getting too invested...

[@juanmiguelriosortiz4923]

Meanwhile Doppel’s other half runs after him and apologizes to the group non-stop as Dopple hangs from a tree and gives everyone the bird.

[@cardboardbox331]

Dopple’s thief half steals from them, while Dopple’s timid half just runs with him to escape the party, then when they get caught, timid half profusely apologized while leaning *far* away from heartless, the guy who sucked the life out of a tree.

God, as soon as you revealed Alchemy's masculine look and started talking about them being Nonbinary i couldnt help but shed some tears, man. They would have 100% been my emotional support/wish fulfillment character when i was still a lil enby kid who had no idea how to express themself 😭 i love everyone's designs so much, but Alchemy is absolutely my favorite (also, i cackled when you said the beauty of revisiting old characters was that you can make them all gay like bitch me too!!!!)
