Card designs are not necessarily finalized; changed color, adjustments to artwork and even further elaboration for the card's outer design may occur in the next weeks to months.

Armando and Ranvir sit together upon teal blue steps while appearing anxious, with Ranvir laying his head against Armando's shoulder and upon his hair. Armando's identical twin brother Antonio Herrera-Rivera has his legs submerged within aquamarine ocean with nighttime stars reflecting upon it and all of it dancing. The nighttime stars are everywhere behind Antonio. Armando wears a tight violet fit with dark violet leggings and darker boots. Antonio wears a 2000's-styled lavender shirt with fuchsia pink broken 3D-illusion 2D heart. Antonio has his eyes closed and dark black angel wings with a 3D illusion effect to it. Armando and Ranvir have fuchsia eyes. Armando and Antonio both have light bronze skin while Ranvir has dark brown skin. Ranvir wears a teal panjabi that works with the teal of the stairs. The stairs are wet from the oceanic currents that are running behind it, where Antonio looms above Armando and Ranvir. The card says XI above with rose designs surrounding and 'the lovers' below with shell and teardrop designs surrounding. The outer card is a rose pink.

Alejandro has fuchsia eyes, long, falling dark hair that's implied as red-violet due to being colored by his magical flames, and light bronze skin that's lit up by his magical flames, too. He appears uneasy and incredibly unhappy, posture swaying, expression bearing gaunt eyes and a crooked smile. He is surrounded by fire forms that appear like an extremely basic idea of humanoid, such as in cave paintings, except as fire. They surround him. He wears a pink tunic with orange diamonds implying starlight along the shirt collar. The BG is an inky dark blue. The card says 'I' above with roses designs leading to it from the edges of the top half, and it says 'the magician' on the bottom half with water droplet designs and shells leading to said word.

Antonio Chandrani-Rivera is hanging upside down as The Hanged Man, with a rope of dark blue entrails from an Eye Psyche capturing him. His little baby the aquamarine Sally the salamander heart demon is trying to burn it off him and seems soon-to-be-successful. The pink eye with spring green rounding its outer edge and spring green pupil is noticing Sally. Behind him is a lot of blue-toned entrails and blue-toned sands falling. Antonio has red brown skin, red eyes peering sweetly at the person before him, and has his arms crossed, seeming rather confident. He wears a dark blue wetsuit and has one leg hanging and another simply crossed against his knee, showing a lot of thigh. His dark blue hair like waves fall down. The card reads XII (12) above and 'the hanged man' at the bottom with shell and teardrop designs surrounding it. The outer card is a rose pink.

layla has three aquamarine angel-like beings above her amid white clouds with a pink square over their hearts. she seems shocked with both her red and silver eyes showing. she has brown skin and wavy silver hair. she wears a sleevless black shirt with pale jeans and is falling freefall seemingly from the skies with small isles showing far down below amid aquamarine seas. HOWEVER she has a dark night sky beneath her with stars that are making an anime 'bengha' (tongue-stuck-out with a wink) face. the card reads xx (20) above and 'judgement' at the bottom with shell and teardrop designs surrounding it. The outer card is a rose pink.

alia is the strength card with psyche seemingly pulled in with her, with singular silver, red, and golden eyes hanging together by violet clouding on one side looking at the viewer and a spring green eye solitary in its gaze at alia. alia has a determined grin while staring at the viewer while pulling at her starry waters, which has starry pull of dark waters from starry waters beneath in general. the waves have foam that look a bit like the fog of the shrouded seas. its implied she has her outer core showing with waters pulling about. the card reads viii (8) above and 'strength' at the bottom with shell and teardrop designs surrounding it. The outer card is a rose pink.

leo is standing upon a golden ancient egyptian chariot in front of an immense dark violet panther being and a fox being with many tails. they are implied to be kestral clan beings. there's a great spotted cuckoo bird upon the panther that is mostly dark brown with a beige tuft. upon the chariot's axle rod legs there are two fantasy silvery sphinx with dark gray eyes, gray hoods, and overall sphinx shape with paws. leo has curly silver locks tied back, spring green eyes, dark brown skin, and wears a rose red shirt with loose light aqua pants. he is relaxed upon the chariot and the chariot is upon a field of flowers, with a bright blue day behind them all. the card reads xii (7) above and 'the chariot' at the bottom with shell and teardrop designs surrounding it. The outer card is a rose pink.

khaleel has a strange leaf-strewn branch he is implied to be magically pulling toward him with an odd greenery of a plant shaped like an angelic-looking figure with dotted light blue flowers upon its wings and an array of colorful flowers for its hair, mainly violet and fuchsia and orange. he has falling silver braids around him, dark brown skin, red eyes, and a cold stare downward. he holds silver steel-like ancient egyptian-style scales on the right. he wears a dark blue sleeveless shirt and a green lungi that's soaked by the aquamarine waves all around him, spilling down the steps he is sitting upon. the dreamy aqua-cerulean-black waves are starry, and the dark night sky behind him is starry too. the card reads xi (6) above and 'justice' at the bottom with shell and teardrop designs surrounding it. The outer card is a rose pink.

So here is the Antonio and Alejandro acrylic charm design! Antonio is mixed fantasy-counterpart-South Asian and thus wearing a lungi.

antonio chandrani-rivera with blue hair like waves, brown skin, and red eyes is relaxing in a dark blue lungi with bright green leaf designs by the beach with alejandro with red eyes, light bronze skin, long violet hair that stands for black hair. he appears gung-ho and is wearing pinkish red swim trunks with small angular green designs at the bottom. there's a cliff behind them and white cloud against bright blue skies. on the beach by alejandro there's a aqua blue pool with a pink flower in it and on the other side by antonio there's a light blue shell.

The Layla and Alia acrylic charm design!

layla chandrani with wavy silver hair, brown skin, a red eye and an esoteric black eyepatch is reachingwith a worried expression toward alia atif-akinyemi with red eyes and dark blue curls that fall all over. alia atif-akinyemi is smiling. layla is wearing a mostly-covering dress-like periwinkle swimsuit with shorts and lined design-work that implies waviness of the cloth. alia is wearing a two-piece teal swimsuit with an opaque skirt. there's an immense dark blue oceanic wave behind them with starriness showing within that alia seems to be twisting and has a wave crest to it. there's a beach implied to be behind them.

The Armando and Ranvir acrylic charm design, featuring Armando's twin Antonio [Herrera-]Rivera! There's like 6 peeps in this thing.

armando and ranvir are holding hands. armando has red eyes, long dark blue hair that stands for black, and light bronze skin. he wears red swimtrunks. ranvir has red eyes, an overgrown flipped blue undercut look, and dark brown skin. ranvir's looking at armando extremely affectionately, while armando seems to either be enjoying ranvir holding his hand or just experiencing emotions in general. armando's identical twin antonio is smiling. his main difference point are the two moles at the bottom right of his cheeks. he's smiling softly at the camera as it were. they're at the beach with a crab, shell and little pool with a flower EXCEPT...there's an immense shadow that leads into a place that's the implication of a world that's created by armando's mind, with a floating window showing a tree and clouds, an eye floating underneath, a road with a seagull flying above it, and a stepped pyramid-like building at one side.

That's all in terms of the acrylic charms. Next...!

The Antonio and Alejandro enamel pin design! Alejandro's frock-like attire is based on historic photos of Apache men's outfits. Antonio's is just his Chandrani family's fantasy uniform. As noted in the 11/23/24 blog post "After Blue Horizon: BDSD comic 4 - updated specifics of main 6 fantasy counterpart cultural backgrounds" (can't link with an a-name link apparently), Alejandro [Caldera-]Altaha is mixed Apache and Mexican.

antonio chandrani-rivera with blue hair like waves, brown skin, and red eyes is stressed and trying to reach alejandro altaha with light bronze skin, red eyes and long violet hair with pink highlights, who is smiling up at him adorably and seems a bit oblivious to his stress.

there is a scarlet reddish pink rose beneath. the outlines are normal black and violet.

antonio is wearing an indigo blue chandrani outfit with silvery stars and moons falling into waves. alejandro is wearing a pink-red outfit with white flowers reaching up toward his abdomen with green leafy design trailing down to the side. there's an extra skirt that's darker pink and he has a shirt collar design that's gold blue with waning and waxing and full moon design. the bg is light spring green.

a repeat of the first alejandro and antonio art with golden outlining to show how the enamel pin will work. darker golden outlining for the rose.

Here's a link to the above blog post outside the a-name link hahaha.

The Armando Rivera and Ranvir Chandrani enamel pin design! They are the dads of Antonio Chandrani-Rivera and in love.

Armando Rivera with dark blue falling hair, light bronze skin, amber eyes and a red speck presses his hand against Ranvir's in an attempt to hold it. They are both blushing. Ranvir with blue waterfall undercut hair, dark brown skin, umber eyes with a red fleck is peering down at the hand, seeming a bit bothered. Armando is wearing a violet shirt with darker violet undershirt as well as gray pants and white sneakers. Ranvir is wearing the dark blue Chandrani uniform with a visible hoodie and a fall of silver stars and moons into waves.

There's a rainbowing sunflower behind them; it is a fantasy sunflower with blue filaments. The BG is light violet.

Repeat of previous Armando and Ranvir art except with gold outlining to concept the enamel pin. The BG is pink.

The Alia [Atif-]Akinyemi and Layla Chandrani enamel pin design!

Alia with dark brown skin, red eyes and curly indigo blue hair falling behind her is staring at Layla with a pensive expression and a blush, while Layla with brown skin, red eyes and wavy silver hair looks more wonderingly at her. They are above a red water lily flower with yellow filaments and there is a red ladybug with dark dots on it. There is a blue-green pond surrounding them and green outside implying grasses. Alia wears a dark blue captain-like outfit that's long with blue pants and V-like coat-lining that's light blue with silvery buttons and has a frilly white shirt collar beneath. Layla wears a white suit with red tie and dark blue shirt.

This is a repeat of the previous art of Layla and Alia except with gold lining to showcase the enamel pin's concept.

That's all for the enamel pins!

A reflection below...

Do you remember?

Red for the heart, gold for what you know, silver for what you reach for, and many more…

Long after Earthians traveled across the galaxy, by that era near-100,000 years in the future, humans began to be born with Spectral Eyes.

Including those two. That famous pair. Ranvir and Armando, who had once had crimson red eyes.

A while ago, now... But not too long ago. I mean, you’re their son, right?

SYNOPSIS:

100,000 years in the future, so very long after Earthians have traveled across the galaxy, Raj Rivera of planet Imion is upset over one thing—dealing with human emotions! Pesky human emotions! Why are there still humans around?

His father is famous. His father's past is infamous. His father has mourned the loss of his siblings for decades... While knowing this, Raj must navigate his own feelings, worry over his garden and all the people stepping through it, and try to deal with his tricky relationship with that fraternal twin brother of his, who always wants to know too much...!

Part of the Blue Horizon verse, "Blue Horizon: Hibiscus, and the Loved Garden Paths of Raj Rivera" is a short LGBTQ/gay/BL text-based slice of life academy game that explores family, tragedy, change, wanting a future for yourself, growing up, friendships, the trickiness of crushes, and trying to figure out how to connect!

There are four main character routes, but every single route is highly affected by Raj Chandrani-Rivera's interactions with his twin brother, Antonio Chandrani-Rivera! If Raj is more content, the scenarios noticeably change. If Raj is more melancholic, the scenarios noticeably change. Try going off the expected pathways!

This is a short introduction into the world of Blue Horizon. The current version of the game is complete, and has essential, introductory lore. After the release of further Blue Horizon media, this game will serve as a prologue/demo for a future, updated version and/or a potential sequel that is much heavier on the backstory. This game is canon compliant with the main Blue Horizon verse storylines.

Here's information regarding the upcoming light novel/novella that will accompany the adult epic science fantasy novel. The light novel's name is "The Protector's memory of them under the sunlight." and it will be around 150 to 200 pages long and will contain numerous illustrations!

Summary for "The Protector's memory of them under the sunlight."

Planetary savior Alejandro Altaha knows the warmth Antonio Chandrani-Rivera once held in his heart for him is long lost. When it turns out Antonio is chosen to guard him through magical doors that lead into their dreams and desolation, Alejandro must swallow his feelings and face a man who has drastically changed from their adolescent years.

Alia Akinyemi swore to their allies that she would protect Alejandro Altaha to the death. When a warped image of her old friend Layla Chandrani keeps reappearing through the halls Alejandro's current entourage find themselves stuck in, she must make a choice—stay with Alejandro, or understand what it is that haunts her past and present?

Rajab Chandrani-Rivera only wants one thing when he goes with his twin brother into the dream-like otherworld known as the Boundless. But those dreams of his feel like a child's want, and may not be attainable any longer, at all...

Since this light novel will have a free-to-read black-and-white-and-grayscale illustrated version in the future, I've decided to preview partial excerpts of the first chapter.

You can find a 5-page excerpt of chapter 1 here! The full 51-page excerpt is free-to-read within that link and also linked below.

ANTONIO CHANDRANI'S DREAM BLOG. EARTH YEAR 2005. (Click to read.)

[04/21/2024.] Approximately 2500 words long. Told via Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's "secret" [Tumblr] blog and transcripted on Neocities.

Summary: The story follows Antonio's curiosity over a rare book Alejandro has gifted him that's encrypted with runes. He manages to break the spell on it and find out what Alejandro has hidden for him inside--and becomes upset, as it's a precious item the world over assumed Alejandro would give to his rumored potential beloved (the biggest rumored people being Khalida, Alia, Diego or Konna). When Antonio confronts Alejandro, Alejandro confesses that he thought that Antonio would trash the precious item.

(Here it is on the original Tumblr, though it's harder to read in order there.)
