Long ago, in the wild land known as YouTube, ANIMATORS roamed the land.
To entertain the public, they created fantastical characters that they dubbed SUBJECTS.
Together, ANIMATORS and SUBJECTS made YouTube history. They were loved and revered by all.
Life was good.

But all good things must come to an end.

2 0 1 6

The gods of YouTube grew tired of the ANIMATORS’ shenanigans.
Taking custody of their SUBJECTS, the YouTube gods exiled the ANIMATORS, isolating them on the faraway island of Demonita.
The island was sealed behind a magic barrier, known as REWIND.
Since the SUBJECTS were left unharmed, the ANIMATORS blamed them for the tragedy.
They vowed that one day they would destroy the REWIND, find their SUBJECTS, and take them down.
They would never forget that the SUBJECTS were their mere creations.

But they never prepared for a SUBJECT
That they didn’t create.

Erasing Opposition

*Gah...how creepy of me! I haven’t told you a thing about who I am!
*Why would you follow a complete stranger into her fortress of solitude?
*...I mean, I don’t know why you would. Don’t do that.
*Anyway…
*Let me explain.
*I am Rebecca Parham, Queen of the Stronghold!
*And by that I mean I’m an ANIMATOR who made a home out of a storage facility.
*It’s less creepy than it sounds, I promise.
*...
*Don’t look at me like that! Just follow me.
*I promise I’ll do right by you.
*...I promise.

"oh! um...hi!" by [RP]Retribution

believe it or not, this uses the same motif as the original Jaiden sans from way back in 2017. It certainly has come a long way since then. I want to thank Retri again for his consistent support. We'd be nowhere without you.

Also, I apologize about how slow all of this is. It's been a stressful quarantine for me, as I'm sure it has been for many of you. I can't promise a whole lot of frequency, but I will do my very best not to let breaks this large keep happening. Thank you all for your continued support.

oh hey, awkward trumpets

Hey everyone, Slick Silver here, owner of Painted Plummet!

As you can all see, Painted Plummet moves at a bit of a slow pace. This is because pretty much everyone on the team is bogged down with other projects, so this has to take a back seat. This is why it's difficult to move quicker, but we'd like to! So as a result, I'd like to employ some more musicians for the project, to take the burden off of people like Toadie and Retri. So if you'd like to be a part of one of the great classic AUs, now's your chance! Just a few ground rules:

1. You must have a Discord account!
2. You must have music uploaded to Soundcloud or somewhere else where I can listen to it!
3. You need to have proficiency in things BESIDES Megalos!

I don't know how many applications we'll get, but there is a chance we won't be able to accept you, and if that's the case please don't take it personally! It doesn't mean you're a bad musician or that we're looking down on you. It probably just means our styles are a bit too different, or something of that nature.

DM me on Discord at Slick Silver#8818

Artists are welcome as well, but we're MAINLY looking for musicians.

This post will be taken down once we have a sufficient amount of accepted applicants.

Recruiting musicians! (Read description)

In the late 2010s, YouTube grew tired of its thriving animation community. Taking custody of their precious creations, YouTube banished the animators to a distant island known as DEMONITA, far enough away from civilization that YouTube would never have to deal with them again.
The animators have quietly accepted their fate, but when an animation that none of them created washes up on the shore, they have no choice but to face the music. Or, well, face the art.

The tracks of this AU will likely be uploaded in order...and also rather infrequently. This page will also be spruced up more as time goes on.
