I'll miss you dearly, since MU was the first thing that made me very comfortable in trying to draw my ocs and make more backstories. Even researching things to make their designs more sensible ig, hehe..
But thanks for making MU.
I'll miss you too Diamond, I'm so grateful for the artworks you've shared, for your support, for everything and for being here.. 😿🫂💜
I will miss you, you in all honesty let me feel more open to stuff like moonlight university, and even making something like that one day
I'll miss you too Star, you honestly have one of the BEST talent when it comes to designing and also being one of THE MOST KINDEST person and I'm so grateful I got to meet and interact with a person like you. 🥹🫂
Even if I won't be in tumblr soon, just know that I'll be supporting whatever you decide you'll make in the future because I know it's gonna be great! 🫶🏼💜
I meannnnn... i probably won't have enough time to reveal it, so might as well just drop this.
[Spoilers for MU & WTMMIE but whatever]
Hayati's supernatural ability (in the future) is:
Premonition. [an intuitive feeling or forewarning that an event is about to happen, often without a logical explanation.]
___
The way I how I (as the creator) give characters powers are strongly tied to their traits, but with a twist, smh-
As I mentioned, in moonverse (aka MY universe: including MU & WTMMIE) has exisiting supernaturals (people with magical abilities ordinary people don't have). And it's like 1 in a billion chance you get that— if the character was fortunate enough to be blessed/cursed by the moon (yes, in my universe, the earth's moon contains unidentified and unknown supernatural energy, alien type shi 😼).
For Zain, as u know (or not)- he has 'psychometry' & 'tactile telepathy' abilities. This stems from the fact he believes that he should always be in control. Giving him access to people's mind, basically invading their privacy and knowing their deepest darkest secret. Which is a great advantage for him if he wanted to be in control fr. BUT every ability has it's own disadvantage— for example, Zain can ONLY use his abilities through physical touch. He can't use it obv if he's not having physical contact with someone or something (only works through HANDS. it wouldn't work either if he has physical contact with any other part of his body with something or someone.) His abilities quite literally requires him to be physically close to someone, and for someone like Zain who prides on being the best compared to others, probably considering his presence is something valuable, he doesn't want to be the one physically getting close to others 'cause that makes him look 'desperate' which is something he wouldn't want. And aside from that, each time he uses his abilities, he gets a heavy migraine, so he knows he should only use it when very important, otherwise his head would be aching for WEEKS and he hates being in pain.
"It's inefficient." (-smth he probably says most of the time lol)
NOW! For Hayati's ability— initially, I wanted it to be 'Foresight' cuz it honestly is cool already. But! Again, I wanted their abilities to be something useful, but also something that has a cost (smth bad heh). I decided to give her like a highly accurate ability of premonition, which is that 'gut feeling' or sometimes can be a 'vision' when she's overthinking. Because I personally think that Hayati is an overthinker (& me irl). Like she spends a lot of time overthinking the most random things, sometimes important and serious as a quarterly exam report, sometimes as random as that awkward "hey" exchange with a stranger. Her ability activates RANDOMLY. She cannot force herself to receive these 'future visions' or 'feelings'. It happens at a reasonable amount of time before the event actually happens.
As the description said about 'premonition', it usually is something bad... however, her visions can be both bad and something completely neutral (or good in a way). Once she starts overthinking, like in a very deep way until she is dissociating from her own self, only then she would get these 'visions'. These 'visions' can just be a random silent blurry scenary. Or it can be something detailed and highly specific. But either way, she won't be able to get the FULL content behind it. She'll need to interpret what those visions are and what they mean, before it eventually happens.
Another thing about the side effects of her ability, is that if these 'visions' actually happen (whether something extremely bad or something small), her ears starts to ring. Indicating the vision has occurred. (Kinda like a prophecy being fulfilled or smth)
And this only gets difficult for her because sometimes she can NOT distinguish the difference of her 'normal' overthinking scenarios VS the premonition 'visions'. Sooo... her power is like useless most of the time, it only adds to her anxiety and paranoia in a way... but when danger lurks, it's pretty useful.
If you ever remember me drawing Hayati (ignore the other ocs) with a skinny(?) or snatched-waist-figure, PLEASE forget that jdkakfkskfksd I'm so embarrassed of it, I feel like i did smth illegal drawing that back then and did not realized it until now omgjskdkskdk PLEASE
I'm gonna hypnotize u into thinking Hayati has a natural curvy-ish pear body type *woooo* pls pls pls
*Throws sketches of how I really want Hayati to be like, as accurate as possible—*
( ! nonsexual nudity ! )
Personal rant below-
Throwback to when I used to draw Hayati in one of those 'skinny anime style female characters' because I was heavily influenced with seeing art on Tiktok (before) of most drawn female characters having snatched waists, and also anime—
I absolutely HATE this era of my art— mainly because I really wanted Hayati to represent me irl, but I wasn't exactly 'skinny' and felt a little insecure about my body so I js made whatever this 2024 Hayati is 😭 (not to mention the goofy ahh sharp anime jawline 🥀 like my jawline is soft and probablynot noticeable *sigh*) ... but like rn, I want to change that— even if I'm still not liking my body irl, but I want to learn how to love it sooooo nyeah...
Also wanna explore drawing different kinds of body types because I do have quite a lot of OCs and I do NOT wanna give them the same body type— ALSO THE FACE,, agh I still suffer from 'same face artstyle' thingy 😭🥀... i mean, I'd probably still have an artstyle (cuz im not the type of artist to make 'realistic' drawings </3) but I wanna give them enough unique features so that people can actually tell them apart— like Melissa having doe eyes, and then Chloe having siren eyes- smth like that TvT
sorry for the piling up stuff, I hope this doesn't change anything between us, I'm glad to hear you acknowledge everything once again I apologize for bothering you I hope you get through whatever your struggling with
It's alr, I js don't wanna get dragged to another drama. That revolves only around those 3, so I would say they should talk about it themselves, but eh, don't add me there lol
I know you mean no harm, so ofc it doesn't change the way I see you, you're still a friend. Ig I'm js fucking tired rn to deal with any more shit
I Apologize if I'm over stepping buy both tagging, messaging you, and sending an ask and you don't have to respond to this but I genuinely feel that Ali was wrongfully abandoned and that squid's words were twisted to look bad, they're clearly not the kinds of people to do these sorts of things so please reconsider and try talking with them
Look, I tried to make peace with both sides as much as I can, but idk why this keeps getting brought up. So ykw? I do NOT want to be associated with Ali, Mehsquid AND Kenny.
As much as I know, they all did their wrongs: Ali once faking being Japanese and misusing LGBTQ+ terms (though they applogized), Mehsquid allegedly faking su¡c¡de (according to Sneezy) and split LGB from trans (still transphobic), and for Kenny to bring back Ali's issue (this one felt unfair) and Mehsquid (this I can agree).
Tho Kenny thinks Ali was guiltripping them w the apologies and stuff, y'all should know that not everyone can easily understand things. Ali had a hard time understanding what's the proper label, and even asked me advices (and I did answered as best and accurately as I can) because that's what Ali needed. A fucking guide. Not someone who blocks them and then proceeds to say "This person is fake and shit". But I'm done defending them or anyone related to this.
It's Kenny's decision that they left my community and I'm not mad about that. Just that I don't want to be dragged into another drama — for (idk how many times) now.
Like ig in summary my thoughts on this:
Ali... pity, but I'm tired.
Mehsquid... disappointed.
Kenny... eh, u do ur own thing. Respect, but also not wanna be associated u no more.
Final note: I AM NOT SIDING WITH ANYONE. I already have my own issues going on irl, I don't need another one piling up on my shoulders.
