The Protector and the Annihilation WIP animatic trailer.

Here's the incomplete animatic trailer for The Protector and the Annihilation...! Don't plan to add too much more since this was my first attempt animating on Clip Studio Paint. Will still take my time finishing it unless it suddenly grabs all my brainworms in the next days.



The story of two guys having 3 babies by mistake(?) I might change this lead-in.

The Protector and the Annihilation trope graphic image. It says, clockwise from the bottom left: TWINS, TWINS EVERYWHERE. Adventure academy (many romances, friendships!), Epic science LGTBQ romantasy (3 gens across 10,000 years), 100,000 years in the future, SOUL BONDS between lovers, family & friends, SOUL BONDS between certain lovers (any gender or sex) can result in children born in their elemental outer core due to romantic feeling, [next] Elemental outer and inner cores [locis] AKA soul magic, [next] surreal, spooky, liminal otherworld, [next] Protagonists Ranvir and Armando have triplet sons...! VIA one's outer core...! [Next] Exploration of caste via Spectral (Gods') Eyes, Why is their son trying to kill his twin brother? Why does Armando's twin brother want him dead? (Note by image that says Babes need no nutrients due to being sustained by god-like ichor.)

OKAY since y'all don't need constant hype unlike socmed, here's the wild graphic that goes into the worldbuild without having to click! The child born by magic worldbuild--which is briefly gone into in the comic--has been something I've been messing with in my head since my teens. (Am 33 now.)

The Protector and the Annihilation cover reveal.



The cover says 'The Protector and the Annihilation' and 'by Naila Moonsi.' Ranvir Chandrani looks back with a welling anxiety and sadness. He has dark falling short black hair, dark brown eyes with a red speck, dark brown skin, and wears a panjabi-like shirt. Armando Rivera stares with immense worry and concern. He has falling shoulder-length brown hair, amber eyes with red specks in them, light bronze skin, and wears a dark violet mesh shirt that calls to goth and emo-style. Their son Antonio Chandrani-Rivera falls into oceanic depths, wrapping his arms around his knees as he sinks. He has falling rogue-ish black blue-black hair around him, has closed eyes, and brown skin. He wears a blue-ish Chandrani uniform. Aqua light and ocean surrounds his immediate premise. There's oceanic elements surrounding his body, such as orange and dark blue coral.

(Larger version can be viewed here.)

Here's the COVER REVEAL for the upcoming adult epic science fantasy novel, "The Protector and the Annihilation." Cover art was revealed on 03/07/2025. Cover art by Nyanyandraws @ Nyanyandraws.Com! Novel by Naila Moonsi. Am super into it.

The focal point of the Blue Horizon series, it will debut via the upcoming Kickstarter! Again, the novel's name is:

THE PROTECTOR AND THE ANNIHILATION.

Brief pitch for "The Protector and the Annihilation."

⌛️ 3 generations and their conflicts across thousands of years
💔 2 dads trying to solve why their reality is unravelling
🫀 Their gayass children messing with that reality
👣 Epic science fantasy with a huge cast involving many, many BIPOC and LGBT

While the novel is not yet out, a Goodreads page has been created for it!

Now has a Storygraph page as of 09/12/2025!



Additionally, here's artwork created by Nyanyandraws @ Nyanyandraws.Com!

This art is of (top left) Ranvir Chandrani, (top right) Armando Rivera and (bottom middle) Antonio Chandrani-Rivera, Armando and Ranvir's son!



All artwork after this point is by me, Naila Moonsi.

A reflection below...

Rajab looks back at someone with a serious gaze, silver eyes, dark brown skin and silver hair with a flowery white print shirt. The seas behind him look mystical and swirling. Antonio with his typical darker blue hair [within the comic] like waves looks brash with a sharp grin, with glowing red eyes and blood splashed on his skin. Fernando, who is identical to him except with [anime] dark violet hair with a flying braid, looks back at what looks like Antonio very seriously with his golden eye glowing and a small frown, wearing a red shirt and with his waves whirling behind him.

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?

Blue Horizon: Bright Days, Sad Days - currently running comic/webtoon! Last updated on 11/21/2024.

100,000 years in the future, on a far-off planet obsessed with Earth, Antonio Chandrani-Rivera and Layla Chandrani are part of a mysterious clan that protects their planet's humanoid populace from the incomprehensible and often cruel otherworld. Despite their work, there's something about the two of them that the people of the planet deem "very off." Why would the Protector of Worlds, Alejandro Altaha, care for them...? A slow exploration of Blue Horizon.

Raj stares down sadly at a frayed red hibiscus. He has dark brown skin, silver eyes, long silver hair, and wears a light teal sherwani suit. It says Blue Horizon with dark blue space background full of stars, and then a pink and orange evening background below that says 'Hibiscus, and the Loved Garden Paths of Raj Rivera.'

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...

Blue Horizon side comics.

 ALEJANDRO ALTAHA HATES SOUL BONDS 1. a mysterious narrator says, 'the truth is, everyone knows that idiot, antonio chandrani-rivera... i mean, hes a romantic, isnt he?' (antonio with rougish hair falling around him is smiling with a mischevious expression toward someone while wearing a sherwani-styled attire.) narrator continues, but everyone knows that boy he's SO close to, alejandro caldera-altaha, our so-called ANGELIC savior... alejandro caldera-altaha, he despises SOUL BONDS. the shadow figure is alejandro, who has long falling hair and wears a tunic with some sort of angel-wing or devil-wing upon lines-styled shirt collar design with feathers on each side. (or some sort of leaf pattern.) surrounding him is a panel that's shaped a bit like an angel design. the bgs are pink and a darker pink for the angelic panel. antonio has brown melanin and splashes of pink color on his clothes.

Main page for side (mostly sketch) comics that are only tangentially related to the storylines of Blue Horizon: Bright Days, Sad Days and other upcoming books, comics and games.

Here's the running page on its main site.

Finished comic: Alejandro Altaha Hates Soul Bonds. (Alejandro Altaha Fears Something.)

On the top right it says: 'Rayan Ahmad's notables. The angelic studies. Fernando. Antonio. Kiran.' Antonio Chandrani has and interestingly amiable yet tepid smile while within his apparent seas, with a dark tone to it. He seems fine. He has blue hair like waves, red eyes, and wears a dark blue uniform with odd winged lining to his shirt collar. A boy is narrating, 'Antonio is darling. He's important to a lot of people. It's not that it's sad that he's changing because of everything that's been weighing him. It's that... I don't want to lose him. 'Antonio.'' Kiran. He's a little afraid of it. Your 'tendencies.' I don't want to lose him. Fernando is wrong. This is why Antonio loves you. (This is all text layered atop of each other, with 'Antonio,' immediately cut off by 'Kiran.')

Next comic: Rayan Ahmad's "notables." The angelic studies. Antonio. Fernando. Kiran.

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.)



✦✦✦

As of 04/11/2025, Antonio Chandrani's Dream Blog now has a second storyline...!

A manga-esque cartoony Antonio with a blank stare and question mark as he has beautiful black cat ears on his head (real). Alejandro is leaving the ethereal plane and possibly about the faint behind him, as shown in a slow fall of multi-colored chibi alejandros who look like they're about to leave the ethereal plane over kitty ears Antonio. This includes Alejandro blushing. It says 'Trio, Antonio, 2005 and the Neko' on the left side.

Antonio is assuming he has surprising time-jump-like access to a popular blogging site in the year 2005 A.D. despite being born 100,000 years in the future.

For... THIS SITE NOW HAS COMMS? Obviously it is 2005 A.D. and he has finally found the legendary blogging site of the emos, in which there are so many comms and epic fails...!

UNFORTUNATELY... He is increasingly distracted by cats and history...! Including Neko, the famous 2000's Javascript kitty cat we all know and love within y2k and webcore fandom.

Also by his other selves.

Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's Secret Blog: Trio, Antonio, 2005 and the Neko. (Click to read.)

[04/09/2025.] A more direct "transcription." Told via Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's "secret" [Tumblr] blog.

(04/12/2025: Now with Neko dot JS added. It will have its moves, though it cycles through them slower than on a certain site.)

THE THIRD STORY ARC FOR ANTONIO CHANDRANI'S DREAM BLOG HAS GONE DOWN.

The cover is Raj's artwork. Image description: A rainbow obsidian, black opal and sandy rock on a beach where the ocean is pulling away. The dark ocean drench is only under my brothers Antonio and Fernando. The rainbow obsidian has a rainbowing heart in it among the dark blue shines, and it is my brother Antonio. The sandy rock has a gold side turning pink. That's my brother Fernando. The black opal by Antonio and apart from Fernando that b*tch is me. It is glittering, a bit dark, but rainbowing and opal like most opals.

Antonio is assuming he has surprising time-jump-like access to a popular blogging site in the year 2005 A.D. despite being born 100,000 years in the future.

Or...does he? He's becoming a little worried. A little anxious. A little emo. Could it be 2025 A.D. instead? The 2025 A.D. in which the mysterious Antonio "K.-G." was unhappy, instead of very happy.

HOWEVER. Suddenly, 3 people from his era and timeline show up...!

Raj's blog which says 'raj-rivera-ultra-realist-blog.' It is silvery. His main 'Blue Horizon: Hibiscus, or the Loved Garden Paths of Raj Rivera' sprite artwork is his icon. He has falling silver hair, dark brown skin, silver eyes, and wears a green shirt with red tie and a white suit. Blue skies behind him. Above is the image of a crab among gray sands. Layla has a steel-gray-blue blog with pink text and a username that says 'layla-chan-and-her-cats.' Her profile says 'layla. we're here to rock and roll! ignore my djinn pls.' Her banner is the breezy blank questioning anime smiley Maria with red eyes and question mark with white background. Layla's icon has Alia next to her and they're both dark blue with blue skies. Alia has her curly dark blue hair tied with a pink scrunchie and Layla has wavy short silver hair and wears a black tanktop.
fernando's blog which is neon hot pink, greenish neon egg yellow buttons for the likes of blog settings and follow his blog name ('fernando-chan-riv-fav-bandz-bd' with the blog title 'B) BD B3' which are sunglasses kaomojis smiling in varieties and MOST IMPORTANTLY it has a default tumblr header that is an array of blue-and-light-blue diamonds. i note 'spooky luck!' with a troubled kaomoji upon a asthetic-ified empty canvas toned teal next to the blog picture. His icon has Diego next to him all romantic in it with the yellow rose showing behind them. Fernando is cut off. Diego wears a red sleeveless shirt and looks soppy. He has light bronze skin and the fuchsia glow of heightened red eyes. Fernando has brown skin, long dark hair and golden eyes. Wears dark blue shirt.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN? When two of your family and friends appear during the height of being 15 and emo?
