•19• The Binary Awakening

For main written piece, majority is finished, yet I shall only include what's directly related to the artwork.

The artwork is at the bottom of the post.

• (...) It was here that an consciousness flickered and stirred into existence in the neverending expanse of the void unlike any other, a shimmering beacon amidst the infinite realm untouched by light or sound, drowned in darkness. At first, it was just a whisper, barely even a flicker of awareness adrift in the sea of nothingness. No memories accompanied it in the depths of its mind, no past to anchor it to the realms beyond, only a profound sense of curiosity and an instinctual understanding of the fundamental language of existence - code.

As the entity's awareness gradually expanded, it became acutely aware of the pulsating energies that surrounded it - faint echoes of code cascading through the void like ethereal waves. It was a language unlike any other, the binary tendrils flowing through existence, a symphony of binary and DNA interwoven with the very essence of existence. The echoes, faint sounds caressing through the void with their feral grace, the code, gradually connecting and forming, language unlike any other as if once an universe, yet awaiting to be shaped. The code soon to be manipulated, binary, formed a body, a mere structure of a skeleton. (...) •

Some additional context for those that are interested:

(Referencing details related to Undertale & AU)

It's supposed to be a starting point of the characters existence in the current reality. It starts out in "void", yet not the widely known white space but instead an UnderDimension as it's supposed to take place under and/or outside all universes as a whole yet still with a connection between AU's, although concept also works as connecting internet media or games generally and it being like the web itself.

The "language of existence" being code is based on an idea that some media, like games, can exist only on machines. In reality of the fictional characters, they are part of game or other complex media and in which, even their DNA is like strands of code and binary instead. Binary referring to computers and alike.

(UnderDimension also relying on idea of code)

Thought it's an interesting concept to play around with considering that, atleast I, didn't see it being used a lot
