It's quite refreshing seeing an element of knowledge associated with ravens instead of owls. And I just really love the different Aegis', Sentinels, and their traits. It's so detailed and thought out. And can I just say? Those gemstones. Beautiful. Thank you for bringing out this idea and sharing it all to us.
@@callimara which one do you think represents you the most….mine is the cat or the songbird because I want to become an artist 👩🎨and I want to travel the world
@@kyojurorengokuakaspicydonu3539 how did you find out? 😭😭😭 I can't tell what I am bc I don't think I'm any of then unless there's one that screams for creativity-
@@callimara I've heard that Octopi or Squids (don't remember which one) are known to be quite intelligent as well- Great at escaping tight spaces from my memory. So hey, gotta love an aquatic variant.
As someone who grew up with Sailor Moon I see why shows like ML exist, they want to be that for younger generations. But when you only do the same tropes without any risks or nuance it becomes stale and predictable. I don’t think every magical girl show should be as intense as Madoka but they really need a different approach nowadays. I’m glad you’re exploring this concept more, you have a real talent for storytelling ❤️
This story sounds sick! I’m intrigued by the story and I’m already drawing my theories on what the holders for each gem stone will be like. I like how each personality (and power) of each aegis has a strength and a drawback and how none of the sentinels have a strong sense of right and wrong. It gives more of a grey nuance to the sentinels that the kwamis lacked. I found it weird that the kwamis naturally knew that they’re purpose was to do good when their purpose is the just give power over to the weirder. (I’m sorry if that came out as shallow but that is essentially what they do-) I also like how the sentinels don’t talk. It adds to the nature aspect of the aegis. (It’s also less annoying lol-) It forces the wielder to try to understand the sentinel more than one would with a kwami. And it builds more of a stronger partnership. One thing I disliked is how Marinette was able to give and take miraculouses even before becoming a guardian. I like that the sentinels determine who to partner with and not the weirder. And I like how the stag wielder is the only person who the sentinels bow to. Some slight critiques I have is that it seems that some strengths of some aegis overlap. Like the wolf and the tiger both exert super strength. (Though this does lead to potential with said aegis working well together in battle.) Idk about all of them, but I imagine the musician weapon for the song bird could be a long flute and for the hawk or the stag, a bow and arrow. Also for clarification can the song bird also fly (but just not as well as the hawk?) or can the hawk only fly?
Thanks so much for the comment!! I really appreciate the feedback :) The wolf and tiger are definitely a bit similar, but the difference is that the wolf has stronger defense while the tiger has stronger attack. Kind of like two sides of the same coin. The super powers do turn the tables a bit, which is more of a balancing attempt to keep each other in check so that neither are unstopabble :) Also yes, the songbird can also fly! But the hawk is better at it :)
@@callimara Thank you for the clarification! I’m looking forward to more of “WildWard” as well your redesigns. (Did I mention that the gemstones you picked for each aegis are beautiful? Cus they are. I haven’t even heard of most of them.
@@callimara it’s kinda weird that I just woke up from a dream where I could fly and then I watch this video and I match with the songbird (which I’m very glad can also fly) idk it’s just cool to me
Some thoughts: 1. I was SO relieved to hear that using an Aegis grants the wielder a damage absorption state, after all, those artifacts were named after a shield. 2. All of those accessory designs were SO COOL! If you ever decide to make merch, how about imitations of these? 3. I like how all of the Sentinels' names have some sort of etymology! Some you didn't mention are Felis and Naga, which are the words for "Cat" in Latin and "Long" in Japanese, respectively. 4. As for the question at the end... I'd either be a Songbird or a Raven. As for you, Calli (is it okay to call you that?), I think you'd either be a Songbird or a Snake as you are both an artist and a nurse (huge respect to you for that!). All in all, I really like the concept and can't wait to hear more about it! Keep up the good work!
I absolutely love this. All the characters are very creative, diverse, and well thought out. I love that all of them are neutral/“gray morality” and can end up as villains, and how well their gemstones fit each other. Also, can I say that I love that you associated knowledge with ravens rather than owls? Not many people chose to do that, and personally ravens are one of my favorite birds. I think, being an emotional and creative person, I identify the most with the songbird aegis. I’d love to see more of this series!
Imagine finding a cute cat styled choker at Claire’s and you’re joking with your friend while talking about random tiktok audios and you start quoting “If the men find out we can shape-shift they’re going to tell the church. The men will be bewitch- **Transforms** uhhh wtf?” “Dude…you’re a furry?” “I guess”
The hero's masks would definitely benefit from a redesign, like, almost all new heroes have that same two color mask, sometimes with a line in the middle, and the others may not be so unique.
The way you describe the direction of the story and its relation to the main show is very similar to how I treat Winx Club. I love the first four seasons, and I like the transformation designs of some of the later seasons, but I like taking the idea of the winx club world and making it my own thing if that makes sense
I think the original 4 seasons of WC still hold up and still have a lot of things that make it unique from any other magical girl show.While the show was never explicitly dark,it still had enough subtext for it to not be completely kiddie and the main example of that is the WC's backstories. But, beginning with S5,Rainbow wanted to chase the younger kid demographic and dumbed down the show with it's unique aspects gone. I get that WC is Rainbow's only profitable franchise and they had to change it to survive,but I wish they had just ended the series at S4 and SotLK and hard rebooted it so that there wouldn't be as much of a disconnect between how the show was written in S1-4 and how it's done in S5 and after. Or if they were willing to be riskier, have it take place after S4 and follow a younger gen at Alfea.
*What I love the about the Aegis:* *How they're neutral:* They do not know the distinction between good or evil unlike the Kwamis who all know they want to be good. *How the aegis users are nature-like:* How they do not have unrealistic body like Kwamis but bodies like the animals we have in our world. Also how they cannot speak our (human non-other species) language(s), which would make the users try to understand them better. this could form a better relationship with the aegis and their wielder. *How aegis try to find a wielder who suits their interest(s):* Which is what I love the most because Marinette was easily swapping miraculous in the series. Not only that but to give them to randoms. I like how you can't do this with the Aegis until they have the proper judgment of said user. This can also help aegis users and the aegis bond as well. *The names and stones:* All the stones properly suit the personality of them. Now the names are all amazing because they're all a reference to an -ology like Naga meaning long in Japanese. These were all so creative and lovely. Also something I would find amusing is all the aegis around their own species, how would they react?😂 Sorry for any bad grammar by the way.
Wake up babe, new roles to put ocs and ourselves into just dropped. I'm definitely going to do some fanart for these guys when I'm less busy because I love all of these concepts. Btw what aegis do you guys think you would have? I think I'd probably have emotion.
I will definitely have the cat Aegis. My friends said that whenever I squint my eyes, I look like a cat and I also have a cat who sadly passed away not so long ago so I would feel more close to him if it was the cat.
I'm sooo excited to continue hearing and seeing details about Wildward! You're so talented and your ideas are already so compelling, and you're right, at some point the pre-existing material/inspiration can only get you so far, so I'm very excited to see what else you come up with for the story!!
Aaaa I usually don't comment often but I cant help myself, your story, designs, just everything are so compelling and interesting and I'm definitely excited for a more adult-oriented story! I can just imagine a little kid growing with stories about the Aegis and actually getting it when theyre older but being nothing like they imagined, tragic but adulthood taught them that that's just life
I'm expecting the story to introduce the concept of Aegis like this: At the beginning of the series, we see and old woman telling the legend of the Aegis to her grandchild. Then we fast forward many years later when the child we had seen at the beginning is now an adult
I love all the ideas here: The use of gemstones and their typical uses due to their properties is fun. I love the different animals and I feel like the aegis fit their respective traits well. I like that most of the activation phrases are different for activation and deactivation. I love the concepts of all the powers being able to be bent for evil. I think I’d have the power of emotion based on the video. I am a writer. However, I also found myself feeling like the cat would appreciate my curious heart. This id such a cool concept, I can’t wait to see more
Songbird: likes artists, musicians, actors, and writers Me: *look I didn’t need to be called out like this* In all seriousness I love al the concept they are well thought out with their drawbacks and powers. I was feeling really upset before watching and this helped me keep my mind busy so thank you for making such a wonderful world, can’t wait to see the rest of the cast and story unfold!
I'm slightly confused about the limits of Changing Winds. It manifests a lucky/favorable event through the user's will and focus, but how big could that event be? It could be the difference between causing a foe trip over a pebble at a vital moment, causing a foe trip onto your spear and impale themselves, or causing a nearby mountain to explode all over your foe and their army, crushing them all in one full swoop. Without a proper frame of reference I can't really understand how the Hawk user could ever lose, especially if they started the day in a motivated mood and with a decent cup of coffee to help them focus. I guess I'd like some more examples of what Changing Winds could and _couldn't_ do and in what exact contexts it would likely be used, 'cause at the moment my imagination is leaning somewhere in the realm of Domino from Deadpool. Of course, I could always be misunderstanding your meaning of the power.
The general idea is that it alters probability in favour of the person using it. It makes events favourable to the user more likely to happen, but it doesn't guarantee it; the greater the change in probability, the more unlikely it is, and the greater energy it takes to make happen. Twisting their ankle on a piece of inconveniently placed rubble in the middle of a ruined city? That's already fairly likely, so that wouldn't necessarily take much in the way of odds-finagling. But tripping on a piece of rubble and falling over in the right direction with enough force to impale themselves? That requires a LOT more variables to line up, so whilst possible, it would take a lot of concentration and a lot of energy to push the odds in that direction. In the heat of battle, you're not likely to get a moment to concentrate long enough to change six or seven variables at the same time, and the "passive" version of the power takes the path of least resistance; changing a single variable in a way that helps you, but is unlikely to result in anything bigger unless the wielder then takes the initiative. Likewise, the power can't make possible things impossible, or impossible things possible; there always has to be that 1% chance of it going wrong, and it can't break the laws of physics or causality. EG, you can make somebody trip over their own feet, but you can't materialise a rock out of nowhere for them to trip on. Plus, another limitation is that the other person still has free will; if they start to fall and notice the spear, they can try and twist out of the way. There's no chance involved there, really, that's down to their own reflexes and instincts. So if chance isn't part of the equation, Changing Winds can't touch it. Does that make sense?
@@callimara Yes, thanks it makes more sense. Of all the powers though, I really think the Hawk's would be the hardest to write around and keep balanced in a way that doesn't confuse or upset the audience. It's kind of like the "99% chance to Hit = 100%" and "50% is a Miss" sayings used by turn based combat fans: if you're doing a luck roll but the player (or reader, in this case) can't see the calculation unfold then they're going to call a 1% Miss complete bs or a 50% Hit a miracle because "wtf that should have hit!" or "wtf that's never hit before!". Basically, any luck based power needs to be balanced and treated with _extreme_ care in a Show Don't Tell medium, or else it will be seen as either completely overpowered or completely useless until the plot seems to very conveniently demand otherwise, which could risk the whole power getting slapped with an unwarranted Deus Ex Machina sticker down the line. I hope you're able to keep it tight and defined in the execution!
@@conspiracypanda1200 I think a solution to this would be if the raven and hawk aegis holders worked together. The raven could analysis the situation and/or use their power to see what’s going to happen in the next few seconds and then tell the hawk what they should do to be most likely to get the outcome they want. That way it doesn’t solely relay on luck. If they’re able to work in coordination changing winds is more likely to hit/have the intended effect, but if the raven is k.o/not here at the moment or misses something in their analysis, there is a smaller probability of changing winds working since it’s then fully relaying on luck and concentration. But the hawk might not be able to concentrate because they’re too used to having the raven by their side which could then make for some good character development!
@@callimara but I can already see the character getting this scente…(whatever it was I’m sorry I don’t remember) having self doubt cause I don’t think they can really fight right? So like all they can help with is luck (or maybe I’m just writing my own fanfic based on your fanfic lmao what😭✨💀😂🤡)
Thank you for bringing up Tokyo Mew Mew! I rarely hear anybody talk about it, and between your mention of it and the upcoming reboot, I'm honestly very excited! ^^ All of the Aegis are beautiful and intriguing to me, but I immediately knew the Songbird was my personal favorite. The immediate mental image I got was of someone who maybe doesn't think much of their power singing to their allies who have lost heart in the midst of a tough battle, their song being what allows them to keep fighting. That or using their song to instill crippling hopelessness and/or apathy in their opposition, turning the tides of battle in their favor almost instantly. That said, I can also see a more blatantly villainous individual with this Aegis singing one of my favorite songs, "Queen" by Loren Gray, to instill respect and fear for them into a crowd of people. Tell me the lyrics "Boy, you better bow down on your knees/Can I get a yes, your majesty?" wouldn't hold immense power in the hands of a Songbird Aegis Wielder.
As for which aegis I would be, probably the Cat or Wolf. I'm a curious person that loves to understand how and why but I would also die protecting those I love.
Honestly at the beginning I was sceptical- but wow you’ve really proved me wrong, compliments! I really like the first one, both since I’m a writer myself and cause I have a thing for birds. Keep it up!
This sounds so magical and interesting! I really like the Aegis concept and the drawings -the gemstones, the animals and the jewels-are gorgeous❤ My favourite Aegis and the one that I really resonate was the raven Aegis, Hugenn. I don't know if I choose it because of my thirst of knowledge and wisdom, my love for Norse Mythology (I recognise the name Hugenn instantly)or because ravens are one of my favourites💜 Anyway,I really like this concept and I can't wait to hear more about💕
Wildward seems really exciting! I'm interested to see what characters we'll see! The way you've set up the world we can see the history of different Aegis users which is pretty cool, in my opinion.
Honestly, this is such a cool idea! Both that the gems are not exactly good nor evil, but instead intrsincally connected to a concept is genius. If your don't mind, this video inspired me with some character concepts for this setting (These are not in order an I'm only doing those that caught my eye): - Raven Aegis wielder: Dunno why, but the phrases "Part the veil" and "curtain fall" give me hardcore "gentleman thief" vibes. So I'm picturing an anti-hero Private investigator type of character, who is in search of a personal truth and is on the side of no one but the truth they are searching for. As for costume design, I imagine somthing practical for investigating with a bit of a gentleman motif, Sort of like a mix between Tuxedo mask, Arsene Lupin and Sherlock holmes. For weapons, I would say either a cane sword or an umbrella, to fit with the gentleman motif. - Songbird aegis wielder: While Crescendo and Descendo give hardcore music vibes, however, I would personally put up a poet instead. I say a poet because of the possibilities of the poet transforming the emotions to verse when they use siren song. Imagine a dark scene, where the song bird wielder uses pain to fuel siren song against an opponent on a climatic scene. That has the potential of being a pretty awesome scene. As for costume design, this one is up in the air, as I'm not the best when it comes to clothing, but for weapons I do have an idea: Either an oversized formal pen (Yes, I know, but I'm fond of oversized normal objects as weapons) or a small booklet where the wielder's poems manifest whenever they need to use siren song. - Cat aegis wielder: This one has the potential to get a pretty tragic backstory. So, like the evil author I am, why not give it to a happy-go-lucky Journalist filled to brim with wanderlust, who is on the search of a scoop that will satiate their needs. Like with the Raven wielder, I picture her as being on the side of no one, however unlike them, the cat wielder isn't subject nor loyal to finding the truth, as much as having the freedom to chase what they want to chase. Soooo... probably some good chemistry with raven wielder? Dunno, but they do seem like opposite thematics that can work well together as team. As for cpstume, this one gives me a more casual jessica jones style of clothing. For weapons, probably a camera, which can probably aid the character when they use Daydream.
This is terrific. It's amazing. The origin story and the concept of these magical jewels are so well thought out and intriguing. I can't wait to see more of it.
I love how the Aegist also seem to clash with one another. Like if all of them were to fall into a team, they would be naturally repulsed by each other but them all being together is what’s necessary to keep the world in check.
I personally adore the songbird aegis! I love writing and drawing stories also everyone I’ve met says I have a huge amount of empathy and emotions. If I had this power I would try to encourage peace hope and empathy/love because I want those desires felt by others (I hope that doesn’t sound bad) I love your ideas and I love the magical girl genre thank you for doing this!
This is so interesting and the storytelling is absolutely amazing. If this were a book or a show I would totally read/watch. Also the art is chefs kiss.
evil versions of the Aegis Songbird: Incel Hawk: Deadbeat dad Raven: NFT bro Cat: Messy Bitch Wolf: Cult leader Snake: i'm not sure how you misuse this one. Overcoming barriers but paired with people with the power (Guidance/mentorship is a trusted position.) to do so like healthcare workers, teachers, engineers, stuff like that.. Maybe really pushy teachers? fuck it maybe something like Symmetra from overwatch and Vishkar's whole mentality and deal. Easy to be arrogant and think you know what's best in that sort of position. Yeah fuck it, the "good intentions" colonizer mindset Stag: The One Decent White Guy Feminist (Arguable white savior) Tiger: Alpha Male
This is so cool and well thought I’m particularly biased to the raven aegis and the song bird aegis. I think they’re all so well thought out and intriguing
Also I feel I should ask, do the different pieces of jewellery have disguised version? Otherwise I feel any villain would just look at a group of people with these really noticeable accessories that match heroes and just know who they are. Especially with the Raven Aegis.
As someone who has never really enjoyed the magical girl genre, these concepts excite me! It’s so well thought-out and the basis for their abilities and designs are very inspired! I like the ambiguity available to each sentinel and the closer relationship to real animals. I can’t wait to see what happens from here! You’re an excellent storyteller and a master of visual storytelling, so this is bound to be amazing!
I love this concept and all of the activation/deactivation phrases for each aegis. I also enjoy the concept of amorality presented as an aspect of the magic system, since magical girl content is often focused on an audience of kids, I feel they don’t often explore grey morality as a theme. I’m excited to see what you do with Woodward in the future!
THIS IS GONNA BE A MASTERPIECE🤩 Can't wait to hear more about it and the main characters!Your idea gave me an idea so thank you!Never stop with creativity Callimara
I love this, the gemstones and sentials were really thought out, but I do have a question. Can you tell us which aegis are more likely to fall into evil hands than others? Because they way you described Maung's vessel seems more evil than good
All the Aegises are just as likely to fall into evil hands because the Sentinels have very gray morals. They don't see things as "good" or "evil." They simply pick vessels based on their values, aptitudes, and personality :)
Hey Callimara! I've been watching your videos when you only had a few thousand subs. I came back a few times to see how much you've grown and I'm really proud! Now a loyal subscriber. Keep up the good work
As a neurodivergent person, I think it would be really interesting to have one of the wielders of the snake sentinel to be autistic/otherwise nd; someone who was forced to mask (cover their symptoms) a lot in order to fit in and not be rejected all the time. I think it would fit really well with the whole theme of adapting in order to survive. It would be also really fun to see their journey with unmasking - would their sentinel abandon them if they stopped hiding who they really are? Or would they stay, because circumstances have changed and it'd be more beneficial for the wielder to change again? So many possibilities ^^
I absolutely ADORE this idea. I can't wait to see what you do with this storyline in the future! + I absolutely LOVEEE THE WAY YOU DRAW BRUH IT'S SO GOOD callie you got me fangirling for this-
It could be cool if the hawk bracelet was an anklet, reminiscent of the leather anklet a falcon would wear but without the jess tying it to a falconer as a way to tie into the bird theme and the freedom motif
@@callimara would you be open to redesigning the choker for the cat aegis. the basicness of it reminds me of middleschoolers who buy chokers at claires
Dudeeee this sounds amazing. I already want the songbird one being a singer actor and creative writer. Their power sounds amazing. This story sounds amazing!
This THIS is the greatest think i have heard of in a long long time. Seriously its amazing how you took the original miraculous concept and made this masterpiece out of it. I love the idea of super power/anime girl/magic artifacts that act like familiars too its godly. But my favourite think has to be the hole user gets chosen by personality with no moral limits!! I can't wait to see what you will do with WILDWARD love from a relatively new member of your pond. Ps i feel like the crow aegis would be for me no offense to my favourite animal the wolf.
It’s really well done! I’m also happy each Aegis has its own ability and doesn’t necessarily overlap one another in terms of specials.I also like that instead of a lot of Aegis (like Miraculous) there are a few amounts and it almost sounds like they are scattered across the world, which would also be a cool concept! Almost every question I asked while listening was answered (example for tiger, would their special effect their team and you answered it with a yes). Having adults instead of teenagers feels MUCH better since they are more mature (not all but enough) than teens. If this actually becomes a thing like a webcomic or something, you have my money 💰!
I love this story!! It is amazing!! I would have to say either the tiger, raven, or sparrow would fit me best. While I may be short in stature, that doesn't mean I am inferior, as resilience is needed when achieving one's goals. On top of that, analyzing a situation is what has gotten me this far in life, and has taught me not to repeat some of the same grave mistakes again, and with the sparrow, I come from a very artistic and creative family, and music and the arts have always been a part of my life!! Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see more of this story!!
I was waiting for this I'm in love, while the hawk bracelet is a little too on the nose and uncomfortable looking in my opinion, I love this idea Y^Y I'd most likely get Wren, or maybe Felis.
i think you've got some really interesting groundwork laid out here, and i'm down to see where you go with it. i think my overall favorite aspect of it is the nebulousness of the powers, that allow for a range of personalities to inhabit this story. i'm also lowkey-excited to see how each of the aegis' interact with each other; cause a lot of these ideas could be channeled through multiple people. the songbird, cat, and hawk, for instance, could likely be passed around and used by each of their wielders. tiger, wolf, and snake could be similar. but the thing i'm really looking forward to is the characters you make for this, and how they embody, but also subvert expectations, and the interpersonal relationships that form throughout. (and if i may throw an idea at the wall, it might be fun if you made the songbird's character a spirit medium, a la Tyler Henry. They'd literally be channelers for the emotions of the deceased, and bring up very intimate emotions for the living. could be fun?)
Oh my goodness! I didn’t expect you to mention Tokyo Mew Mew! It was my first anime and I’m currently rewatching it while waiting for the reboot to come out this July! Thank you! Also I FIRMLY believe that MLB is trying to be TMM without it being straight up TMM. And yes, I agree that TMM did a better love square that MLB
I think I'd either be a songbird or stag, but either way I loved them all. It was very well crafted and detailed and I'd love to see more of what happens in the world of Wildward, and the characters that might find out about this world and become a part of it through the sentinels.
I love this!!!!! Hope we get to see more of it soon.. The drawings look amazing, the shading and the way you drew the different textures ess amazing. You're very talented. Also, the accessories that hold the Aegis are very beautiful, will it not be obvious for somebody who knows a lot about it to see who has the different Aegis? Someone like Gabriel, who has a book about all the miraculouses? I'm very excited to see more of this.
this is such a cool idea! i would love to see a show, or even a book like this! i would totally watch/read it, as i am a major fan of fantasy and magic. i can tell you put a lot of thought into each regis and thier powers and the drawbacks! it’s so interesting to see how you describe the people they would look for too! it puts that little thought and makes this so much more relatable to the viewers! i hope to see you design different wielders at some point, and build a world of chaos caused by the 8 artifacts being found
i think i’d be most compatible with the songbird aegis since my life revolves around the arts and i’m probably one of the most emotion driven people i’ve ever met.
I love how you incorporated limitations and weaknesses into each Aegis. It gives a better sense of balance and personality for each. It also makes me super curious about the kinds of conflicts the story will have. Super excited to see where you go from here💚
I also like how the aegis suit the occupations the humans have or the values they hold. The wolf's aegis for example has the most coverage onto the skin than the other sentinels as it wants to represent security and an overbearing personality, and the tiger's belt feigns really similar to mercenary belts.
I got late for college for being unable to stop listenning to such rich and interesting lore!! I loved all the Aegis, they are all so amazing, gonna be honest, my favorite part was listening to each ones activation and deactivation, there are all so unique and distinct! Your art is GLORIOUS, all the gems and animals look absolutly g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s!! Truly hope we hear more about this world in a near future~! ^^ Edit: Forgot to meantion, my absolutly favorite Aegis (though all are amazing) is Naga, she is just GORGEOUS, and I loved her lore and abilities~!
I love how all the Aegis are designed from a writer's standpoint to represent concepts which can be used for both good and evil! It kinda adds to the argument that many ideas are just that: ideas. The fact we assign to them moral value is wrong since an idea can be taken both in a positive and negative direction.
This really inspires me to make my own story as well, there's just too much to work with regarding magical artifacts. Oh and of course magical girls the best kid's show genre there is.
This is just the best thing I've ever seen everything about this is perfect, YOU are perfect in every way a possible. I never thought I would have a favorite RUclipsr but then I find you and my world becomes complete. Thank you for doing what you do and never forget you are amazing!❤️
It's rather funny that when you listed out the virtues, I singled-out emotion as probably the one I'd fit with. Only to learn soon after that the vessels are usually artists XD It fits the bill. I love your story concept so far, I'm happy to see you pursue this!
Now this is series i would kill! to watch! the characters! the villains! THE ARCS THE LOVE SUBPLOTS! ENDLESS POSSIBLITIES! i can see and smell the fanart! already! OH! I can't wait what you can do next!
The story is beautifully drawn, presented, and worded it makes me super excited for your future content on this project! The concept of the aegis and the lore from this video alone already sends butterflies in my stomach, AND this is only the beginning of it. I can’t wait to see how the characters would look like and how the story develop. And I just wanted to say thank you for creating your videos, I’ve been having a lot of artist block lately and seeing your videos with lots of taught and effort put into work, inspire me to create more drawings again.
As someone who is a practising witch and deep into the occult - I am absolutely in LOVE with how much research has been put into every single Aegis. My favorite one HAS to be the raven, I mean COME O N - I am so so excited to see where this story of wildward will go!
Loved it, it was so weel thougth and explained that I can easily see this as an established magic system. Also, the phrases are original and tied very closely to the Aegis' powers and animals. I know I'd be more compatible with the Crow Aegis, just because XD The deer, oh gosh, those activation/deactivation words gave me chills. "The Hunt Begins", badass.
Omg I love this, I love the sense of an actual weakness that isn't just "oh time runs out you have to detransform" I like how the personality of the person has to match the regis that it even becomes the weakness of the holder!! Gosh I can't wait to see more- (I think I'd either be the song bird, wolf, or hawk)
This is soo interesting I really love their powers and I really like that the welders will have animals like features I think its soo cool and cute at the same time
aaa this is so amazing- you’re so great at things like this! i’m probably not the kind of audience you’re aiming at, but i still love everything you do! ♡ i wish you could just make a whole movie, series or game because the things you create are so unique and beautiful! i especially loved the songbird and unique stones :D also, this isn’t very important but, have you ever heard of the game Fe? i thought maybe you might like it! ^ ^
I just want to say that I love every single thing about it. Animals and magic without it being sugarcoated is always a treat for the eyes and the soul. Personally I believe I would be a songbird Aegis wielder, being a an artist myself and also very emotional.
very excited to know you're working on this concept more!! i keep watching your rewrite videos and then getting sad over the "what could have been" feeling of wanting to see what the shows/games might have been like if they followed your concepts. and now i'm all excited again but its for an original idea! i'm gonna **love** seeing more of this
these ideas for the aegis and their gemstones are amazing! now i'm thinking of drawing ideas for what their holders and outfits would look like! i love your story you've come up with for this.
Oh hey, coincidentally I am also working on a somewhat mature magical girl story where one of the main characters has an ability called "sirens call" similar to your songbird ability
All the detail that you’ve put in these characters and also the storyline I wish this was an actual show! I would love to watch a whole season on your creation! Because your so creative and I love your work
I will never ever in the history of forever get over your writing! You are such a skilled writer and as much as I love mlb, you’ve made the concept so much more three dimensional in a was that Thomas could only dream, re designing the characters themselves was simply a taste of what you are truly capable of with no plot/continuity restraints
I am absolutely blown away by this world building and these concepts, I love fantastical powers and this is no exception. Super excited to see more of Wildward in the future!
I'm in love with all of the Aegis concepts, but especially the one for the Song Bird Aegis. Maybe it's because I'm a musician that writes a lot as a hobby, but the whole concept is just so fun to me. I'm looking forward to seeing all of these ideas being honed and getting to observe how you write the characters :] I'm very much looking forward to all of this!
I don't think I can properly convey just how much I would wanna read a book or graphic novel series about this concept. It's very clear the amount of work, thought, and research went into this, and I can't wait to see more and learn how the story unfolds
These are all so beautiful! As an artist, writer, musician and actor I would definitely be compatible with the Songbird Aegis, but all of these ideas are amazing, and the amount of detail in each is incredible. :)
I started watching your MLB rewrites when they first came out but I haven't kept track on the latest ones. I decided to come back to these because I'm currently working on my own MLB AU. It won't be even remotely similar to yours, or even similar the actual show, but I wanted to get some inspiration while I started working on the bases of some of the characters. I really love your videos and I hope you keep showing us this new world because it sounds really intriguing. Thank you for making such wonderful content
The art is so good!!!!! I almost forgot to listen to the story lmaooo I love the way you draw the animals!!! And the jewelry is really pretty too! (Although idk something about the snake bangle seems uncomfortable) But the story you came up with???? Honestly I'm hooked already!
I love, love love the sentinel designs so much! They are so gorgeous and magical and my eyes might have started watering when I first saw the songbird... Anyway, I really admire how much thought you put into each of the Aegis and their Sentinels with all those references to mythology and the like. Even the stones and their meanings fit really well, at least to my limited knowledge. I'm really excited for this, thank you so much for sharing this story!
I think I'd fit the song bird aegis, i like drawing, acting and singing a lot and I'm a very emotional person ^-^. This is an amazing story that I'd love to read or watch, I hope you'll be able to publish this!
I really really love Wildward and I'm interested to know more about the story and the characters. The Aegis that most resonates with me was the Songbird Aegis because, even thought I'm still not confident enough to share anything that I made with someone, I want to be an comic artist who can inspire people with my stories, as well as marvel them with my art.
It's quite refreshing seeing an element of knowledge associated with ravens instead of owls. And I just really love the different Aegis', Sentinels, and their traits. It's so detailed and thought out. And can I just say? Those gemstones. Beautiful. Thank you for bringing out this idea and sharing it all to us.
Awww thank you so much! Ravens are definitely underrated symbols for intelligence

the same here too.
I think “To The Skies” would be better
@@niecymoss6658
Nah. To the heavens works better since there is a deific nature to the sentinels.
I honestly can't relate to people who dislike magical girls. Magical girls are probably the highlight of my childhood.
They are simply incorrect

fr! I love magical girls and i don’t really get what’s not to like!
And also can be the highlight of our adult life
I use to watch Sailor Moon when I was younger. And I think Tokyo Mew-Mew (hope I spelled that right 😅🤣)
As someone who grew up with Sailor Moon I see why shows like ML exist, they want to be that for younger generations. But when you only do the same tropes without any risks or nuance it becomes stale and predictable. I don’t think every magical girl show should be as intense as Madoka but they really need a different approach nowadays. I’m glad you’re exploring this concept more, you have a real talent for storytelling ❤️
The best one I’ve seen beside sailor moon, is Star Guardians.
@@meihatsume1165 Unfortunately Rito is never going to make an anime like they should >:(
@@PeskyFrowny yea that makes me sadge 😭💔
I agree
This story sounds sick! I’m intrigued by the story and I’m already drawing my theories on what the holders for each gem stone will be like. I like how each personality (and power) of each aegis has a strength and a drawback and how none of the sentinels have a strong sense of right and wrong. It gives more of a grey nuance to the sentinels that the kwamis lacked. I found it weird that the kwamis naturally knew that they’re purpose was to do good when their purpose is the just give power over to the weirder. (I’m sorry if that came out as shallow but that is essentially what they do-)
I also like how the sentinels don’t talk. It adds to the nature aspect of the aegis. (It’s also less annoying lol-) It forces the wielder to try to understand the sentinel more than one would with a kwami. And it builds more of a stronger partnership. One thing I disliked is how Marinette was able to give and take miraculouses even before becoming a guardian. I like that the sentinels determine who to partner with and not the weirder. And I like how the stag wielder is the only person who the sentinels bow to.
Some slight critiques I have is that it seems that some strengths of some aegis overlap. Like the wolf and the tiger both exert super strength. (Though this does lead to potential with said aegis working well together in battle.)
Idk about all of them, but I imagine the musician weapon for the song bird could be a long flute and for the hawk or the stag, a bow and arrow.
Also for clarification can the song bird also fly (but just not as well as the hawk?) or can the hawk only fly?
Thanks so much for the comment!! I really appreciate the feedback :)
The wolf and tiger are definitely a bit similar, but the difference is that the wolf has stronger defense while the tiger has stronger attack. Kind of like two sides of the same coin. The super powers do turn the tables a bit, which is more of a balancing attempt to keep each other in check so that neither are unstopabble :)
Also yes, the songbird can also fly! But the hawk is better at it :)
@@callimara Thank you for the clarification! I’m looking forward to more of “WildWard” as well your redesigns. (Did I mention that the gemstones you picked for each aegis are beautiful? Cus they are. I haven’t even heard of most of them.
@@callimara it’s kinda weird that I just woke up from a dream where I could fly and then I watch this video and I match with the songbird (which I’m very glad can also fly) idk it’s just cool to me
Some thoughts:
1. I was SO relieved to hear that using an Aegis grants the wielder a damage absorption state, after all, those artifacts were named after a shield.
2. All of those accessory designs were SO COOL! If you ever decide to make merch, how about imitations of these?
3. I like how all of the Sentinels' names have some sort of etymology! Some you didn't mention are Felis and Naga, which are the words for "Cat" in Latin and "Long" in Japanese, respectively.
4. As for the question at the end... I'd either be a Songbird or a Raven. As for you, Calli (is it okay to call you that?), I think you'd either be a Songbird or a Snake as you are both an artist and a nurse (huge respect to you for that!).
All in all, I really like the concept and can't wait to hear more about it! Keep up the good work!
omg i would want to buy merch based on these so bad
I think she meant to refer to "Naga" as in the sanskrit word for snake
@@brunetteartist24 Huh. That's also a possibility.
Also, the Naga are a race of snake people from Hinduism.
nagas are also mythical snake creatures.
I absolutely love this. All the characters are very creative, diverse, and well thought out. I love that all of them are neutral/“gray morality” and can end up as villains, and how well their gemstones fit each other. Also, can I say that I love that you associated knowledge with ravens rather than owls? Not many people chose to do that, and personally ravens are one of my favorite birds. I think, being an emotional and creative person, I identify the most with the songbird aegis. I’d love to see more of this series!
Agreed! Ravens are such underrated symbols of knowledge
Like Ravenclaw ?
I love it that you chose alexandrite for the snake aegis, it changes colors based on the type of light shown
ikr
Imagine finding a cute cat styled choker at Claire’s and you’re joking with your friend while talking about random tiktok audios and you start quoting
“If the men find out we can shape-shift they’re going to tell the church. The men will be bewitch- **Transforms** uhhh wtf?”
“Dude…you’re a furry?”
“I guess”
underated comment
*Instantly gets on the news*
The hero's masks would definitely benefit from a redesign, like, almost all new heroes have that same two color mask, sometimes with a line in the middle, and the others may not be so unique.
If this actually became a show, manga, graphic novel, etc., I would 100% be immersed with it.
Edit: I feel like I’d be the cat (or songbird) aegis.
The way you describe the direction of the story and its relation to the main show is very similar to how I treat Winx Club. I love the first four seasons, and I like the transformation designs of some of the later seasons, but I like taking the idea of the winx club world and making it my own thing if that makes sense
I think the original 4 seasons of WC still hold up and still have a lot of things that make it unique from any other magical girl show.While the show was never explicitly dark,it still had enough subtext for it to not be completely kiddie and the main example of that is the WC's backstories. But, beginning with S5,Rainbow wanted to chase the younger kid demographic and dumbed down the show with it's unique aspects gone.
I get that WC is Rainbow's only profitable franchise and they had to change it to survive,but I wish they had just ended the series at S4 and SotLK and hard rebooted it so that there wouldn't be as much of a disconnect between how the show was written in S1-4 and how it's done in S5 and after. Or if they were willing to be riskier, have it take place after S4 and follow a younger gen at Alfea.
That's what inspiration is taking an existing idea and concept you like but altering them a bit and building around key concepts in different ways
Whenever Calli posts, ya already know it's gonna be good.
😎
😌✊
facts.
TRUE!
True FACTS
*What I love the about the Aegis:*
*How they're neutral:*
They do not know the distinction between good or evil unlike the Kwamis who all know they want to be good.
*How the aegis users are nature-like:*
How they do not have unrealistic body like Kwamis but bodies like the animals we have in our world. Also how they cannot speak our (human non-other species) language(s), which would make the users try to understand them better. this could form a better relationship with the aegis and their wielder.
*How aegis try to find a wielder who suits their interest(s):*
Which is what I love the most because Marinette was easily swapping miraculous in the series. Not only that but to give them to randoms. I like how you can't do this with the Aegis until they have the proper judgment of said user. This can also help aegis users and the aegis bond as well.
*The names and stones:*
All the stones properly suit the personality of them. Now the names are all amazing because they're all a reference to an -ology like Naga meaning long in Japanese.
These were all so creative and lovely. Also something I would find amusing is all the aegis around their own species, how would they react?😂 Sorry for any bad grammar by the way.
Wake up babe, new roles to put ocs and ourselves into just dropped.
I'm definitely going to do some fanart for these guys when I'm less busy because I love all of these concepts.
Btw what aegis do you guys think you would have? I think I'd probably have emotion.
I'm not sure! I'd probably be the raven or the songbird to be honest!
I might be the snake!
I will definitely have the cat Aegis. My friends said that whenever I squint my eyes, I look like a cat and I also have a cat who sadly passed away not so long ago so I would feel more close to him if it was the cat.
I would have the songbird sentinel, I'm an artist, musician, and author.
I'm an artist so maybe the songbird
I'm sooo excited to continue hearing and seeing details about Wildward! You're so talented and your ideas are already so compelling, and you're right, at some point the pre-existing material/inspiration can only get you so far, so I'm very excited to see what else you come up with for the story!!
Thank you so much!!
Of Course I Can Try My Own Anime Character Type Of My Own Miraculous And My Own Miraculous Tiny Ladybug Earrings
Aaaa I usually don't comment often but I cant help myself, your story, designs, just everything are so compelling and interesting and I'm definitely excited for a more adult-oriented story! I can just imagine a little kid growing with stories about the Aegis and actually getting it when theyre older but being nothing like they imagined, tragic but adulthood taught them that that's just life
yeah I can imagine that
That's such a cool idea!!
I'm expecting the story to introduce the concept of Aegis like this: At the beginning of the series, we see and old woman telling the legend of the Aegis to her grandchild. Then we fast forward many years later when the child we had seen at the beginning is now an adult
I love all the ideas here:
The use of gemstones and their typical uses due to their properties is fun.
I love the different animals and I feel like the aegis fit their respective traits well.
I like that most of the activation phrases are different for activation and deactivation.
I love the concepts of all the powers being able to be bent for evil.
I think I’d have the power of emotion based on the video. I am a writer. However, I also found myself feeling like the cat would appreciate my curious heart.
This id such a cool concept, I can’t wait to see more
This is more well written than the whole show itself! 😭
Songbird: likes artists, musicians, actors, and writers
Me: *look I didn’t need to be called out like this*
In all seriousness I love al the concept they are well thought out with their drawbacks and powers. I was feeling really upset before watching and this helped me keep my mind busy so thank you for making such a wonderful world, can’t wait to see the rest of the cast and story unfold!
I'm slightly confused about the limits of Changing Winds. It manifests a lucky/favorable event through the user's will and focus, but how big could that event be? It could be the difference between causing a foe trip over a pebble at a vital moment, causing a foe trip onto your spear and impale themselves, or causing a nearby mountain to explode all over your foe and their army, crushing them all in one full swoop.
Without a proper frame of reference I can't really understand how the Hawk user could ever lose, especially if they started the day in a motivated mood and with a decent cup of coffee to help them focus. I guess I'd like some more examples of what Changing Winds could and _couldn't_ do and in what exact contexts it would likely be used, 'cause at the moment my imagination is leaning somewhere in the realm of Domino from Deadpool.
Of course, I could always be misunderstanding your meaning of the power.
The general idea is that it alters probability in favour of the person using it. It makes events favourable to the user more likely to happen, but it doesn't guarantee it; the greater the change in probability, the more unlikely it is, and the greater energy it takes to make happen. Twisting their ankle on a piece of inconveniently placed rubble in the middle of a ruined city? That's already fairly likely, so that wouldn't necessarily take much in the way of odds-finagling. But tripping on a piece of rubble and falling over in the right direction with enough force to impale themselves? That requires a LOT more variables to line up, so whilst possible, it would take a lot of concentration and a lot of energy to push the odds in that direction. In the heat of battle, you're not likely to get a moment to concentrate long enough to change six or seven variables at the same time, and the "passive" version of the power takes the path of least resistance; changing a single variable in a way that helps you, but is unlikely to result in anything bigger unless the wielder then takes the initiative.
Likewise, the power can't make possible things impossible, or impossible things possible; there always has to be that 1% chance of it going wrong, and it can't break the laws of physics or causality. EG, you can make somebody trip over their own feet, but you can't materialise a rock out of nowhere for them to trip on.
Plus, another limitation is that the other person still has free will; if they start to fall and notice the spear, they can try and twist out of the way. There's no chance involved there, really, that's down to their own reflexes and instincts. So if chance isn't part of the equation, Changing Winds can't touch it.
Does that make sense?
@@callimara Yes, thanks it makes more sense. Of all the powers though, I really think the Hawk's would be the hardest to write around and keep balanced in a way that doesn't confuse or upset the audience.
It's kind of like the "99% chance to Hit = 100%" and "50% is a Miss" sayings used by turn based combat fans: if you're doing a luck roll but the player (or reader, in this case) can't see the calculation unfold then they're going to call a 1% Miss complete bs or a 50% Hit a miracle because "wtf that should have hit!" or "wtf that's never hit before!".
Basically, any luck based power needs to be balanced and treated with _extreme_ care in a Show Don't Tell medium, or else it will be seen as either completely overpowered or completely useless until the plot seems to very conveniently demand otherwise, which could risk the whole power getting slapped with an unwarranted Deus Ex Machina sticker down the line. I hope you're able to keep it tight and defined in the execution!
@@conspiracypanda1200 I think a solution to this would be if the raven and hawk aegis holders worked together. The raven could analysis the situation and/or use their power to see what’s going to happen in the next few seconds and then tell the hawk what they should do to be most likely to get the outcome they want. That way it doesn’t solely relay on luck. If they’re able to work in coordination changing winds is more likely to hit/have the intended effect, but if the raven is k.o/not here at the moment or misses something in their analysis, there is a smaller probability of changing winds working since it’s then fully relaying on luck and concentration. But the hawk might not be able to concentrate because they’re too used to having the raven by their side which could then make for some good character development!
@@callimara but I can already see the character getting this scente…(whatever it was I’m sorry I don’t remember) having self doubt cause I don’t think they can really fight right? So like all they can help with is luck (or maybe I’m just writing my own fanfic based on your fanfic lmao what😭✨💀😂🤡)
Thank you for bringing up Tokyo Mew Mew! I rarely hear anybody talk about it, and between your mention of it and the upcoming reboot, I'm honestly very excited! ^^
All of the Aegis are beautiful and intriguing to me, but I immediately knew the Songbird was my personal favorite. The immediate mental image I got was of someone who maybe doesn't think much of their power singing to their allies who have lost heart in the midst of a tough battle, their song being what allows them to keep fighting. That or using their song to instill crippling hopelessness and/or apathy in their opposition, turning the tides of battle in their favor almost instantly.
That said, I can also see a more blatantly villainous individual with this Aegis singing one of my favorite songs, "Queen" by Loren Gray, to instill respect and fear for them into a crowd of people. Tell me the lyrics "Boy, you better bow down on your knees/Can I get a yes, your majesty?" wouldn't hold immense power in the hands of a Songbird Aegis Wielder.
Yessssss I always love your ideas, Prose!
I love the storytelling and the world building so far! I would love a show, webtoon, or book of this concept!
As for which aegis I would be, probably the Cat or Wolf. I'm a curious person that loves to understand how and why but I would also die protecting those I love.
Honestly at the beginning I was sceptical- but wow you’ve really proved me wrong, compliments! I really like the first one, both since I’m a writer myself and cause I have a thing for birds. Keep it up!
I'm so glad!
The first one is my favorite too! I love the comb, the bird, the rainbow, and the emotional power of it.
This was just such a compelling storytelling! I would rather this be the real show.
Can't wait to see the holders. ❤️
I hope one day a producer will find and make your story into cartoon. And I love to see them. 😍
Thank you!!
Fan art is ABOUND! This is a wonderful story! You and your writer friend deserve all the praise!
This sounds so magical and interesting!
I really like the Aegis concept and the drawings -the gemstones, the animals and the jewels-are gorgeous❤
My favourite Aegis and the one that I really resonate was the raven Aegis, Hugenn. I don't know if I choose it because of my thirst of knowledge and wisdom, my love for Norse Mythology (I recognise the name Hugenn instantly)or because ravens are one of my favourites💜
Anyway,I really like this concept and I can't wait to hear more about💕
Wildward seems really exciting! I'm interested to see what characters we'll see! The way you've set up the world we can see the history of different Aegis users which is pretty cool, in my opinion.
thank you!!
Honestly, this is such a cool idea! Both that the gems are not exactly good nor evil, but instead intrsincally connected to a concept is genius. If your don't mind, this video inspired me with some character concepts for this setting (These are not in order an I'm only doing those that caught my eye):
- Raven Aegis wielder: Dunno why, but the phrases "Part the veil" and "curtain fall" give me hardcore "gentleman thief" vibes. So I'm picturing an anti-hero Private investigator type of character, who is in search of a personal truth and is on the side of no one but the truth they are searching for. As for costume design, I imagine somthing practical for investigating with a bit of a gentleman motif, Sort of like a mix between Tuxedo mask, Arsene Lupin and Sherlock holmes. For weapons, I would say either a cane sword or an umbrella, to fit with the gentleman motif.
- Songbird aegis wielder: While Crescendo and Descendo give hardcore music vibes, however, I would personally put up a poet instead. I say a poet because of the possibilities of the poet transforming the emotions to verse when they use siren song. Imagine a dark scene, where the song bird wielder uses pain to fuel siren song against an opponent on a climatic scene. That has the potential of being a pretty awesome scene. As for costume design, this one is up in the air, as I'm not the best when it comes to clothing, but for weapons I do have an idea: Either an oversized formal pen (Yes, I know, but I'm fond of oversized normal objects as weapons) or a small booklet where the wielder's poems manifest whenever they need to use siren song.
- Cat aegis wielder: This one has the potential to get a pretty tragic backstory. So, like the evil author I am, why not give it to a happy-go-lucky Journalist filled to brim with wanderlust, who is on the search of a scoop that will satiate their needs. Like with the Raven wielder, I picture her as being on the side of no one, however unlike them, the cat wielder isn't subject nor loyal to finding the truth, as much as having the freedom to chase what they want to chase. Soooo... probably some good chemistry with raven wielder? Dunno, but they do seem like opposite thematics that can work well together as team. As for cpstume, this one gives me a more casual jessica jones style of clothing. For weapons, probably a camera, which can probably aid the character when they use Daydream.
I love the gentleman thief motif for the raven and the songbird user using pain for the siren song power.
This is terrific. It's amazing. The origin story and the concept of these magical jewels are so well thought out and intriguing. I can't wait to see more of it.
I love how the Aegist also seem to clash with one another. Like if all of them were to fall into a team, they would be naturally repulsed by each other but them all being together is what’s necessary to keep the world in check.
I personally adore the songbird aegis! I love writing and drawing stories also everyone I’ve met says I have a huge amount of empathy and emotions. If I had this power I would try to encourage peace hope and empathy/love because I want those desires felt by others (I hope that doesn’t sound bad) I love your ideas and I love the magical girl genre thank you for doing this!
This is so interesting and the storytelling is absolutely amazing. If this were a book or a show I would totally read/watch. Also the art is chefs kiss.
thank you! 🥰💕
evil versions of the Aegis
Songbird: Incel
Hawk: Deadbeat dad
Raven: NFT bro
Cat: Messy Bitch
Wolf: Cult leader
Snake: i'm not sure how you misuse this one. Overcoming barriers but paired with people with the power (Guidance/mentorship is a trusted position.) to do so like healthcare workers, teachers, engineers, stuff like that.. Maybe really pushy teachers? fuck it maybe something like Symmetra from overwatch and Vishkar's whole mentality and deal. Easy to be arrogant and think you know what's best in that sort of position. Yeah fuck it, the "good intentions" colonizer mindset
Stag: The One Decent White Guy Feminist (Arguable white savior)
Tiger: Alpha Male
Snake: r/insaneparents
This is so cool and well thought
I’m particularly biased to the raven aegis and the song bird aegis. I think they’re all so well thought out and intriguing
so excited! Also I definitely recommend Tokyo Mew Mew for anyone who didn't watch it
YEsssssss Tokyo Mew Mew supremacy
I am still salty about Kisshu not getting with Ichigo
It was my first anime so nothing beats it
It’s also getting a reboot!
@@callimara are you excited about the reboot too? It looks amazing from the trailers so far.
@@Graceisanerd It was my firs anime and I've watched it multiple times as a child
I can't wait for reboot!
Cool! Somewhat sad the Sentinels can't communicate as I think their personalities could be very interesting.
They can still communicate! Just not verbally. Most forms communication is non-verbal, after all :)
This has definitely inspired me to create my own versions, with my own world and story, thank you for the motivation!
Also I feel I should ask, do the different pieces of jewellery have disguised version? Otherwise I feel any villain would just look at a group of people with these really noticeable accessories that match heroes and just know who they are. Especially with the Raven Aegis.
As someone who has never really enjoyed the magical girl genre, these concepts excite me! It’s so well thought-out and the basis for their abilities and designs are very inspired! I like the ambiguity available to each sentinel and the closer relationship to real animals.
I can’t wait to see what happens from here! You’re an excellent storyteller and a master of visual storytelling, so this is bound to be amazing!
I love this concept and all of the activation/deactivation phrases for each aegis. I also enjoy the concept of amorality presented as an aspect of the magic system, since magical girl content is often focused on an audience of kids, I feel they don’t often explore grey morality as a theme. I’m excited to see what you do with Woodward in the future!

THIS IS GONNA BE A MASTERPIECE🤩 Can't wait to hear more about it and the main characters!Your idea gave me an idea so thank you!Never stop with creativity Callimara
I love this, the gemstones and sentials were really thought out, but I do have a question. Can you tell us which aegis are more likely to fall into evil hands than others? Because they way you described Maung's vessel seems more evil than good
All the Aegises are just as likely to fall into evil hands because the Sentinels have very gray morals. They don't see things as "good" or "evil." They simply pick vessels based on their values, aptitudes, and personality :)
@@callimara ohh so neutral, got it 😁
Can you remind me who is Maung?

Hey Callimara! I've been watching your videos when you only had a few thousand subs. I came back a few times to see how much you've grown and I'm really proud! Now a loyal subscriber. Keep up the good work
thank you so much! 💕
I’d much rather watch THIS be made into a show than Miraculous Ladybug. Also I’d probably be the stag or the songbird
I don't usually comment a lot, but the story is genuinely so cool!! This should be a webcomic or something like that ngl
I love this concept! I’d watch this if it ever became a show.
As a neurodivergent person, I think it would be really interesting to have one of the wielders of the snake sentinel to be autistic/otherwise nd; someone who was forced to mask (cover their symptoms) a lot in order to fit in and not be rejected all the time. I think it would fit really well with the whole theme of adapting in order to survive. It would be also really fun to see their journey with unmasking - would their sentinel abandon them if they stopped hiding who they really are? Or would they stay, because circumstances have changed and it'd be more beneficial for the wielder to change again? So many possibilities ^^
I absolutely ADORE this idea. I can't wait to see what you do with this storyline in the future! + I absolutely LOVEEE THE WAY YOU DRAW BRUH IT'S SO GOOD
callie you got me fangirling for this-
I really, really love these concepts and designs, especially the raven one (duh). Super stoked to see where this story goes.
It could be cool if the hawk bracelet was an anklet, reminiscent of the leather anklet a falcon would wear but without the jess tying it to a falconer as a way to tie into the bird theme and the freedom motif
That's a cool idea!
@@callimara would you be open to redesigning the choker for the cat aegis. the basicness of it reminds me of middleschoolers who buy chokers at claires

Dudeeee this sounds amazing. I already want the songbird one being a singer actor and creative writer. Their power sounds amazing. This story sounds amazing!
I like how all of them has a potencial as a villians and I can't wait to see how badass the superheros will look like
Also the hawk one is the best
This THIS is the greatest think i have heard of in a long long time. Seriously its amazing how you took the original miraculous concept and made this masterpiece out of it. I love the idea of super power/anime girl/magic artifacts that act like familiars too its godly. But my favourite think has to be the hole user gets chosen by personality with no moral limits!! I can't wait to see what you will do with WILDWARD love from a relatively new member of your pond.
Ps i feel like the crow aegis would be for me no offense to my favourite animal the wolf.
It’s really well done! I’m also happy each Aegis has its own ability and doesn’t necessarily overlap one another in terms of specials.I also like that instead of a lot of Aegis (like Miraculous) there are a few amounts and it almost sounds like they are scattered across the world, which would also be a cool concept! Almost every question I asked while listening was answered (example for tiger, would their special effect their team and you answered it with a yes). Having adults instead of teenagers feels MUCH better since they are more mature (not all but enough) than teens. If this actually becomes a thing like a webcomic or something, you have my money 💰!
I love this story!! It is amazing!! I would have to say either the tiger, raven, or sparrow would fit me best. While I may be short in stature, that doesn't mean I am inferior, as resilience is needed when achieving one's goals. On top of that, analyzing a situation is what has gotten me this far in life, and has taught me not to repeat some of the same grave mistakes again, and with the sparrow, I come from a very artistic and creative family, and music and the arts have always been a part of my life!!
Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see more of this story!!
thank you! 💕
Would be fun to create a uquiz quiz like “which Aegis would you get”
I was waiting for this
I'm in love, while the hawk bracelet is a little too on the nose and uncomfortable looking in my opinion, I love this idea Y^Y I'd most likely get Wren, or maybe Felis.
i think you've got some really interesting groundwork laid out here, and i'm down to see where you go with it. i think my overall favorite aspect of it is the nebulousness of the powers, that allow for a range of personalities to inhabit this story. i'm also lowkey-excited to see how each of the aegis' interact with each other; cause a lot of these ideas could be channeled through multiple people. the songbird, cat, and hawk, for instance, could likely be passed around and used by each of their wielders. tiger, wolf, and snake could be similar.
but the thing i'm really looking forward to is the characters you make for this, and how they embody, but also subvert expectations, and the interpersonal relationships that form throughout. (and if i may throw an idea at the wall, it might be fun if you made the songbird's character a spirit medium, a la Tyler Henry. They'd literally be channelers for the emotions of the deceased, and bring up very intimate emotions for the living. could be fun?)
Oh my goodness! I didn’t expect you to mention Tokyo Mew Mew! It was my first anime and I’m currently rewatching it while waiting for the reboot to come out this July! Thank you! Also I FIRMLY believe that MLB is trying to be TMM without it being straight up TMM. And yes, I agree that TMM did a better love square that MLB
I think I'd either be a songbird or stag, but either way I loved them all. It was very well crafted and detailed and I'd love to see more of what happens in the world of Wildward, and the characters that might find out about this world and become a part of it through the sentinels.
I love this!!!!! Hope we get to see more of it soon.. The drawings look amazing, the shading and the way you drew the different textures ess amazing. You're very talented. Also, the accessories that hold the Aegis are very beautiful, will it not be obvious for somebody who knows a lot about it to see who has the different Aegis? Someone like Gabriel, who has a book about all the miraculouses? I'm very excited to see more of this.
Thank you so much 😀 And you will have to find out! ;)
this is such a cool idea! i would love to see a show, or even a book like this! i would totally watch/read it, as i am a major fan of fantasy and magic. i can tell you put a lot of thought into each regis and thier powers and the drawbacks! it’s so interesting to see how you describe the people they would look for too! it puts that little thought and makes this so much more relatable to the viewers! i hope to see you design different wielders at some point, and build a world of chaos caused by the 8 artifacts being found
thank you so much! 💕 the wielders are definitely coming soon!
i think i’d be most compatible with the songbird aegis since my life revolves around the arts and i’m probably one of the most emotion driven people i’ve ever met.
I love how you incorporated limitations and weaknesses into each Aegis. It gives a better sense of balance and personality for each. It also makes me super curious about the kinds of conflicts the story will have. Super excited to see where you go from here💚
Oh thank God, an original series told through art that I actually like the look of. Excuse me, I have a server to join now ^^
I also like how the aegis suit the occupations the humans have or the values they hold. The wolf's aegis for example has the most coverage onto the skin than the other sentinels as it wants to represent security and an overbearing personality, and the tiger's belt feigns really similar to mercenary belts.
I got late for college for being unable to stop listenning to such rich and interesting lore!! I loved all the Aegis, they are all so amazing, gonna be honest, my favorite part was listening to each ones activation and deactivation, there are all so unique and distinct!
Your art is GLORIOUS, all the gems and animals look absolutly g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s!!
Truly hope we hear more about this world in a near future~! ^^
Edit: Forgot to meantion, my absolutly favorite Aegis (though all are amazing) is Naga, she is just GORGEOUS, and I loved her lore and abilities~!
I love how all the Aegis are designed from a writer's standpoint to represent concepts which can be used for both good and evil! It kinda adds to the argument that many ideas are just that: ideas. The fact we assign to them moral value is wrong since an idea can be taken both in a positive and negative direction.
This really inspires me to make my own story as well, there's just too much to work with regarding magical artifacts. Oh and of course magical girls the best kid's show genre there is.
This is just the best thing I've ever seen everything about this is perfect, YOU are perfect in every way a possible. I never thought I would have a favorite RUclipsr but then I find you and my world becomes complete. Thank you for doing what you do and never forget you are amazing!❤️
Wow, that really means a lot to me! thank you!
It's rather funny that when you listed out the virtues, I singled-out emotion as probably the one I'd fit with. Only to learn soon after that the vessels are usually artists XD It fits the bill. I love your story concept so far, I'm happy to see you pursue this!
thank you! 💕
This sounds incredible! I can't wait to hear more of this story. I am officially hooked!!
Now this is series i would kill! to watch! the characters! the villains! THE ARCS THE LOVE SUBPLOTS! ENDLESS POSSIBLITIES! i can see and smell the fanart! already! OH! I can't wait what you can do next!
This has so much potential of actually being a show. Definitely will watch.
The story is beautifully drawn, presented, and worded it makes me super excited for your future content on this project! The concept of the aegis and the lore from this video alone already sends butterflies in my stomach, AND this is only the beginning of it. I can’t wait to see how the characters would look like and how the story develop. And I just wanted to say thank you for creating your videos, I’ve been having a lot of artist block lately and seeing your videos with lots of taught and effort put into work, inspire me to create more drawings again.
thank you!! this means a lot to me 🥰
As someone who is a practising witch and deep into the occult - I am absolutely in LOVE with how much research has been put into every single Aegis. My favorite one HAS to be the raven, I mean COME O N - I am so so excited to see where this story of wildward will go!
Loved it, it was so weel thougth and explained that I can easily see this as an established magic system. Also, the phrases are original and tied very closely to the Aegis' powers and animals.
I know I'd be more compatible with the Crow Aegis, just because XD
The deer, oh gosh, those activation/deactivation words gave me chills. "The Hunt Begins", badass.
Omg I love this, I love the sense of an actual weakness that isn't just "oh time runs out you have to detransform" I like how the personality of the person has to match the regis that it even becomes the weakness of the holder!! Gosh I can't wait to see more-
(I think I'd either be the song bird, wolf, or hawk)
This is so beautifully well done omg, you geniuenly made miraculous so much more interesting and added so much more depth 😭😭 I love it
This is soo interesting I really love their powers and I really like that the welders will have animals like features I think its soo cool and cute at the same time
aaa this is so amazing- you’re so great at things like this! i’m probably
not the kind of audience you’re aiming at, but i still love everything you do! ♡
i wish you could just make a whole movie, series or game because the things you create are so unique and beautiful! i especially loved the songbird and unique stones :D
also, this isn’t very important but, have you ever heard of the game Fe? i thought maybe you might like it! ^ ^
I just want to say that I love every single thing about it. Animals and magic without it being sugarcoated is always a treat for the eyes and the soul. Personally I believe I would be a songbird Aegis wielder, being a an artist myself and also very emotional.
very excited to know you're working on this concept more!! i keep watching your rewrite videos and then getting sad over the "what could have been" feeling of wanting to see what the shows/games might have been like if they followed your concepts. and now i'm all excited again but its for an original idea! i'm gonna **love** seeing more of this
thank you so much!! 💕🥰
these ideas for the aegis and their gemstones are amazing! now i'm thinking of drawing ideas for what their holders and outfits would look like! i love your story you've come up with for this.
Oh hey, coincidentally I am also working on a somewhat mature magical girl story where one of the main characters has an ability called "sirens call" similar to your songbird ability
All the detail that you’ve put in these characters and also the storyline I wish this was an actual show! I would love to watch a whole season on your creation! Because your so creative and I love your work
I will never ever in the history of forever get over your writing! You are such a skilled writer and as much as I love mlb, you’ve made the concept so much more three dimensional in a was that Thomas could only dream, re designing the characters themselves was simply a taste of what you are truly capable of with no plot/continuity restraints
aaaa thank you!! 💕
I am absolutely blown away by this world building and these concepts, I love fantastical powers and this is no exception. Super excited to see more of Wildward in the future!
I'm in love with all of the Aegis concepts, but especially the one for the Song Bird Aegis. Maybe it's because I'm a musician that writes a lot as a hobby, but the whole concept is just so fun to me. I'm looking forward to seeing all of these ideas being honed and getting to observe how you write the characters :]
I'm very much looking forward to all of this!
I don't think I can properly convey just how much I would wanna read a book or graphic novel series about this concept. It's very clear the amount of work, thought, and research went into this, and I can't wait to see more and learn how the story unfolds
These are all so beautiful! As an artist, writer, musician and actor I would definitely be compatible with the Songbird Aegis, but all of these ideas are amazing, and the amount of detail in each is incredible. :)
I started watching your MLB rewrites when they first came out but I haven't kept track on the latest ones. I decided to come back to these because I'm currently working on my own MLB AU. It won't be even remotely similar to yours, or even similar the actual show, but I wanted to get some inspiration while I started working on the bases of some of the characters. I really love your videos and I hope you keep showing us this new world because it sounds really intriguing. Thank you for making such wonderful content
The art is so good!!!!! I almost forgot to listen to the story lmaooo
I love the way you draw the animals!!! And the jewelry is really pretty too! (Although idk something about the snake bangle seems uncomfortable)
But the story you came up with???? Honestly I'm hooked already!
I love, love love the sentinel designs so much! They are so gorgeous and magical and my eyes might have started watering when I first saw the songbird... Anyway, I really admire how much thought you put into each of the Aegis and their Sentinels with all those references to mythology and the like. Even the stones and their meanings fit really well, at least to my limited knowledge. I'm really excited for this, thank you so much for sharing this story!
thank you!! 💕
Really love your vids! I'm so excited for this video!! I was hoping you would cover this topic!!
I'm so glad!
I think I'd fit the song bird aegis, i like drawing, acting and singing a lot and I'm a very emotional person ^-^. This is an amazing story that I'd love to read or watch, I hope you'll be able to publish this!
I really really love Wildward and I'm interested to know more about the story and the characters. The Aegis that most resonates with me was the Songbird Aegis because, even thought I'm still not confident enough to share anything that I made with someone, I want to be an comic artist who can inspire people with my stories, as well as marvel them with my art.
i smiled throughout the entire video, it was amazing how you came up with all this lore and made it so beautiful at the same time.
thank you so much!! 🥰💕
