This is going to sound so strange without context, but thank you for making a dead wife story where the guy doesn't go on some weird vengeance/insanity arc in which they do everything their significant other would never wish for them to do. I have yearned for rational mourners and now before me I see a god given example. I thank you for this blessing.

[@Art-enjoyer_Fern]

Yep! He's doing some weird and unhealthy stuff to cope, but considering *how much* he's got on his plate, pretty understandable, he REALLY had to step up in so many ways- and mourning is hard enough as it is without having to take care of an entire family and community on your own. And yet nonetheless he's not throwing away his responsibilities, or going "screw everyone! 😡 I'm gonna do a bad thing now and if everyone else gets massively screwed bohoo idgaf" Honestly I could still see him having a pretty severe breakdown or really going through it in the story, because that's just a lot of pressure to be under when you have all this grief that you personally already have to process as it is, and are on top of everything in a position of high power- a person can only manage so many things at once but the intent really doesn't seem to be "villain arc" 🤪😈 and that I appreciate!

I think June really continued the trend of self indulgence they started with Apollo and I AM HERE FOR IT. Because what do you mean this is a magical girl/post apocalyptic world with creature concepts similar to Pokémon and neopets!!?? This is like all of June's creations and their interests wrapped into one huge project and I adore them for it! When I heard prism got a rework I was initially hesitant, having followed these characters since the first video. But seeing how passionate June is about this, and just how THEM the entire project screams, I can be nothing but happy about this project. I am so excited to see how it continues

Idk if it will be a thing but i would assume that over the course of the story the community will have to learn to not only look up to one figure head to create solutions but that they should start engaging and helping each other so the entirety of the towns/Communitys problems are not on Apollos shoulders.

What does "kill your darlings" mean? I know I've heard it somewhere, but forgot what it means

[@travy9454]

​@@random_dragon It's something creators say to others about being afraid to "kill" or literally kill a character. Often it happens with people who create for themselves and don't want to let go of a character to the detriment of it, other chraracters and the story they are part of but it can also be applied to large companies (looking at you Disney with Star Wars (Hot Take: we need a canon reboot where we remove Anakin. You cannot change my mind. He has such a strong mc syndrome he hinders every other character.))

⁠@@travy9454 The Star Wars thing is a very interesting idea, but oh, the Anakin/Hardcore SW girlies are gonna hate you for that

​@@random_dragonit basically means "if an idea isn't working for your story, remove it, even if you really like the idea." This applies to characters, plot points, you name it

[@pompadorbz9168]

Honestly one of my favorite parts about this reboot is just how much it's become a melting pot of all the ocs you've made across your entire art journey from as early as the really sentimental webkinz, neopets, and original tokyo mew mew ripoffs, to as recent as Apollo who you fell in love with by happenstance. Seeing all of these characters be blended together as a fairly long-time viewer makes me so SO fucking happy. It is so goddamn perfect that it makes me actually want to cry, and the advice you’ve given in this video is kinda pushing me to reboot one of my own original stories after years of struggling with it, so thank you for that!!! I can’t wait to see where PRISM goes next, and I love it even more than I already did :3

[@desklampchan]

I completely understand how hard it is to just reboot a story. My dearest project that has been taking over my life for SIX YEARS was just getting too complicated (it’s a space setting so no surprise there). The characters and the story outgrew the setting, it actually needed to be a space thing and not just a few planets!! So I let go of most of the characters and just agreed whit myself that my urge to make the main character a god has to be satisfied. The villain stayed but everyone else got swapped around oh so much. And it feels GREAT!!! I’m no longer bound to any sorts of rules!! It makes me so free. Heck, I made the story span YEARS. The mc grows form an angsty teen to a mother of two (I LOVE MY BABYSSS!!) and also a god :’3 So honestly, it was so SO worth it it’s crazy! It was ofc hard to let go but it was such a good choice!!

You inspire me to develop my own magical girl OCs further. I’m so happy that you’re still having fun with Prism. I’m so excited for the next Prism video to come out It was also you who inspired me to start drawing in my sketchbook again. For a long time I felt frustrated with my own digital art, because it felt like I was always struggling to get something finished, or execute any sort of vision. Now I’ve taken a page out of your book and started doing fun sketches traditionally, not worrying about the product but rather having fun with the process. I feel like my art is actually going somewhere now, and I’m way way happier. Thank you for inspiring me in so many ways, and I hope you continue to live your truth

16:50 I just had a thought about this ( mainly just symbolism around Apollo’s name) First in Greek mythology Apollo is god of the sun ( amongst many other things) So there’s that connotation Second Apollo in this story literally gave the people their sun back - he built the freaking SUN! (like a god kinda) But he is also like the sun Because just we rely on our sun to give us light, provide warmth , allow plants to grow The city RELIES on him for all these things They look up to him (I guess this could be connected to how we look at the sun) I don’t know if this connection was on purpose BUT I LIVE for this If you couldn’t I love when symbolism and details tie in together lol

[@ch3rich3ri_lady]

[@honeybeechaos]

15:43 has some intresting implications. What happens to those who are saved? What horrors have they witnessed, how does the absence affect the person while they’re in there? Is it mental horrors, illusions of things that haunt the person for decades to come until their death? Do they fight the PRISM fighters initially, every part of that person turned hostile from being in fight or flight for so long? Or do they give in, knowing they’re safe now? knowing what the absence is, even roughly in turn has so, so many possibilities. Excited to see how this entire world fleshes out as June and team go!

Seriously I always loved Eimi's non binary swag and Neneko's whole chaotic vibe and if it really is those two who merge then i'm just SOO hyped to see who this new character ends up being. They both had big gremlin energy so i can totally see why merging them works, and honestly this just reinforces my trust in you to deliver a fantastic story no matter what.

notices that Apollo's glasses are kind of like Elphaba's in the new Wicked movie well they've been working on this character for long enough before the movie hype really kicked off, so chalk that up to a bit of convergent evolution. *Rae explains how Apollo is revered for his magical technology but his big secret is he can't use magic himself* huh, so he's kind of like how the Wizard is presented in Wicked -HEY WAIT A SECOND!

[@LoreCatan]

I really appreciate how forthcoming you've been over the years about your journey writing this story, especially this video as it seems it has come out at the perfect time for me 😅 For YEARS I have been maladaptive daydreaming about little characters in my head, mostly from other shows, but most of them have blended together so much that they're just my OCs in skinsuits at this point, and many proper original characters have spawned in at random intervals as well. For a long time I was happy to just daydream about scenarios (to music ;D) and to only draw fanart as a hobby, but the more time passes the more it's been calling to me, urging me to create. When I was a kid/teenager I thought "it would be cool, but I'd never be able to", and then the thought process shifted into "I'd like to write/draw something that's as meaningful to others as some of my favorite shows/comics/games have been for me! But could I? And I realized at the beginning of the year that if I didn't really try to structure a story then I never will. Now it's nearly the end of year, and aside from the main character, some side characters and the setting I've got NOTHING. It keeps eluding me!! I don't even know what genre I wanna write in, or anything aside from the main theme that I don't even know if I'm equipped to explore anymore! My biggest problem as an aspiring writer is that I have no idea what story I want to tell. I can create characters all day long, and when I think about other people's characters in their show's settings I can create themes and alternate plotlines like no one's business (fanfiction, my beloved). And it's not like I don't have ideas! Every time I have a cool scene in my head I've written it down, I just don't know how to connect them yet. It's so frustrating, I want to do this so badly but it's hard to pin down. I have ADHD so I only get stuck on an idea for so long before it's boring to me. Just ugh.

[@gorgeous_mama]

You talking about your characters and hearing how passionate you are about them, makes me wanna put more effort into my OCs and their stories (which I have completely forgotten about or lost motivation to finish)

[@SandraMuniePor]

Apollo protecting his magic family!! Aaahhh, it’s so cute ;;;;u;;;; He loves his girls, the lights of his life ;;;u;;; I also love the idea that Aloe went behind Apollo’s back to give Sara a Prisim. I wonder if it’s “That’s my friend!” related or they were in an emergency and Sara was the only person there that Aloe could give a Prisim to to save them, but AAAAHHH

[@Starvida]

The way I understand "this character took root in my brain and then hijacked himself into a project" SO HARD. I recently did that with my newest OC, and he's broken me out of a 2 year long writer's block. The power of very sad man just trying to protect what he has left is VERY real.

[@meeeg7029]

Not me SCREAMING at the reboot!!! I LOVE THE NEW NAMES!!! REESE HAS MY SOUL! SARA IS TOO CLOSE TO ME AS A KID! RAAAAA we are SO back!!!!!!!! Also both prisms and absences being made of radiance? Mayhaps we have some madaoka magica influence??? ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE COMMUNISM?!!!?? HELL YEAHHHH

[@pindagreat]

Apollo being something of a mentor figure with a really tragic past scratches all the itches for me personally, as a lover of 2012 tmnt and ninjago. Also this just makes the inspiration for my own ideas flow more. Keep up the great work!

[@braveryknight]

Can’t believe Apollo will be in my home with the sketchbook. How can life get better?

[@BiteSized_Bean]

just got to use my (limited) knowledge of this series for a school assignment! we had to make triva about anything we wanted and this is what came to mind :)

[@shadowgirl1239]

Ooooo I LOVE when artists recycle old OCs into a whole new story! I can't wait to see where PRISM goes from here! Already loving some of the new concepts. ✨

[@Colacat53]

Sara getting a prism is such a good potential plot point for our main magical girl group finding out Apollo has no power and its instead his daughters. Also i wonder how outsiders would react to Sara getting a prism, would Apollo and the others have a story to "explain" why she has a prism?

[@1ChomperChain]

Apollo is a home wrecker... and he is an absolute queen while doing it!

[@vanilla_cream5198]

June I just wanted to say I've been a HUGE FAN for years I remember watching your early prisms videos when I was still very early in my art career! You've been one of my favorite artist 5ever and I've always been SO SO inspired by art, but not just to draw, your art has always inspired me to get BETTER at art!! I'm so excited to see your art continue to be amazing and I cannot wait to see where PRISM goes!! Anyways, all the love and adoration from a younger fan !!

[@emiimana]

Time to re-take all my notes on PRISM lore I spent 2 hours on..

[@captaincrazycreative]

Oof good luck brave soldier

[@eveepic0612]

Yeah, and f all of us who made unofficial OCs for the hell of it /hj

[@Galaxii_OvO]

HAHAHA

[@Galaxii_OvO]

@@eveepic0612 yup, were cooked

[@aduckinlingerie]

18:03 OMGGGG THIS IS SUCH GOOD ANGST so he’s just carrying out the legacy of his dead wife… AND PPL GET MAD AT HIM FOR IT. AND LOOK UP TO HIM BC OF IT. AND PUT A LOTTA PRESSURE ON HIM

[@everest5718]

I’m not sure if this will remain or has already been changed, but I noticed that all the characters who have prisms have been given a new look/uniform. And honestly I’m really digging the white uniform look with their prisms incorporated on it! It does look more reminiscent of a military outfit while also looking fantastical, and it looks really cool! Honestly this new setting in general is just so intriguing and feels rich with possibilities, and I’m loving it!

[@Shoobydoobydoo890]

Ive rewatched this video countless times cause its SO inspiring You got me to reboot my story and im loving it so so so much Thanks so much June!

[@xXBrowniiXx]

AAAA IT‘S HERE!! I am so excited and curious about all the changes, the sneakpeaks have me longing for moreeeee.. I‘m sure this‘ll be a great video as always, thanks June and Crew!

[@ShftyRnn-ij2we]

Same here! I've been a fan ever since her animation meme days, so it'll be fun to see what she has in store! I loved seeing her grow as an artist and strive to be like her one day! Can't wait to see what see has to offer in the future!

[@mewji2]

In terms of art, i used to be a lot like you with a free approach to drawing without any care for mistakes and a cracked creative output with new art and new ideas like everyday. My mind still lingers to that time, but i havent drawn like that for four, now bordering five whole years since some life changing experiences that deeply affected my art Seeing your journey and the way you are in your lusamine video, apollo video, and now this one is something i cant believe and enjoy watching over and over. Its awe inspiring, you seem to run on a pure passion for creating and it reminds me of the way things used to be and could be again I want to be like you someday, and i love watching you do what you do! Thank you for sharing prism with us!

[@grappyday5438]

Im a big "kill your darlings" enjoyer, so as a returning viewer i FULLY support this 😍👍 I have rebooted my own projects maybe too many times but its fun

[@Endlessly_Creative13]

It just hit me that this is definitely shaping up to be a show that I would watch and go “hold on baby, I gotta go make an oc for you” and then write fanfic inserting said oc into the story (which I’ve done. Multiple times. With multiple ocs)

[@jenniferd2934]

We can all agree that this is gonna be fire right?

[@FantaDye]

YEEEEES!!

[@Busy-Bee-Inc]

ngl, this has become my comfort video. Whenever I've been bummed out or am looking for inspiration or hell, just something to do, I turn this on and watch it through. Thank you June and your team

[@CaptainSpicy]

21:42 OMGGGGGGGG HYPE!!!!!

[@whirlwindmindset6665]

I've never seen any of your Prism videos before, but just this video alone has me *sold*, I would happily read a comic of this cover to cover, or watch like 20 seasons of a telly program. Insta-subscribe, can't wait to learn more, super glad I ran across this in my scrolling!

[@kirstennn_k]

I've never seen your videos before but as someone who has a very deeply crafted and loved OC world and storyline of 4+ years this has really inspired to me to try and stay more open in my creative process. I think I often forget that it's ok to like a design one day but want something else the next😅

[@saffronthesunday]

i did not expect the solarpunk twist but i am SO here for it.... very excited about the series!!!:,)) it's great to see the story and art grow from all those years ago

[@windwarrior234]

I found your videos some time ago thanks to some of your collabs with other KZbinrs, and I can remember seeing some of your earlier works for Prism and other things. And honestly....seeing how happy and passionate you've become about your projects and just creative work in general over the last few months has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to witness, so thank you for sharing that with us! I'm looking forward to seeing more of what this Prism reboot will bring, and your own openness about your thoughts and creative process, about how you're learning to embrace your mistakes and not marry yourself to your first idea, and how you're happy to share these things even if they never become a proper series just because you want these ideas to exist outside of your own head....I find that very inspiring on a personal level. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a great weekend!

[@lennonthelemon9895]

You’ve helped me improve my art so much just by making these videos! I’ve struggled with my drawings and making nothing more then a sketch and moving in to the next thing but watching you put so much care and thought has helped me by going back to a storyline I left alone for a bit and making it really cool! I’ve been so much more proud with the drawings I made, each color combo and even the lines I make I’ve become more proud of! By watching you and taking your advice has made me enjoy art like never before!! Thank you soooo very much!!!

[@completely_original9760]

Honestly, seeing you completely rework your story from scratch to fit with the artistic vision you've developed after a year of intense progress is some of the most inspiring stuff I've seen in a long time! Your infectious joy for creating and and willingness to roll with whatever ideas occur to you are so, so delightful to watch, even as an outsider. I've been following you since the original Prism concepts, but I feel more invested in this story now than I've ever been before. Your enthusiasm is only fueling better and more interesting concepts, and I can't wait to see where it takes your story. Some of my oldest and dearest OCs are from elementary school, but I've never done much with them because I've had no clear concept of where to take them. A full rework where I'm not married to any original concepts are kind of the exact thing I might be missing right now. Seeing an artist go through this whole process gets me pumped to try something similar! Maybe if I have the free time for it 😅😅😅

[@lizzy_doeswhat]

Apollo turning out to be completely powerless and hiding it for the sake of others is SO furinacore i love this man

[@stormsofboredom5348]

THE BABYGIRLIFICATION OF PRISM !!

[@fizzaroliesper3581]

4:43 "Look out for that in December" jesus its happening again "check in for part 2 next month" all over again

[@sleepybully3873]

I LOVE PRISM IVE BEEN HERE SINCE THE BEGINNING!! SO EXCITED!NN

[@muffinpuffin-gi2ky]

This change of the old prism story is a significant change to others including me and you ofc and I am so sad to see it go 😭😭 but happy at the same time. And I know many may not like this story or many may who know but all I want you to know is that I and many others will support you, I love your videos so much and I am ecstatic to see how your favorite baby girl character and og prism story blend together to make this newer version of the prism story. ❤😆

[@Lemonade-Tree]

Hearing about your art process and story process has helped me SO MUCH when it comes to doing things- how your so reasonable and accepting over things you just can’t do and so determined to make things work AGHH ;-;
