Commentary: |- <i>Fender_Jess:</i> So Vriskafic8ion is a track Ash wrote inspired by the fanfiction "<a href="https://archiveofourown.org/series/1475819">godfeels</a>", wherein John becomes June with an assist from her own personal brain ghost Vriska. Basically, June is all of John's power and free spirit, combined with Vriska's determination, neverending drive and penchant for (over-re)action. She's a chaotic whirlwind of violence and action and willpower and volatility, all with Vriska there, in spirit, hand on her shoulder. Godfeels is one of my all-time favorite fanworks (in fact I voice June in a fandub called podfeels, check it out!), and seeing this track appear on LOFAM was an absolute delight, so I wanted to give it a visual punch to go along with the energy of the music. The piece itself is just a few vignettes of important moments plus a Cool Action Shot of June to tie it all together.

I picked Metal Sonic ([[artist:sonic-the-hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]]), Robot Ness ([[artist:mother|EarthBound]]), Mettaton ([[group:undertale-and-deltarune|Undertale]]), and Android 18 (Dragon Ball) since they were the robots I was most familiar with.
