I know there is every damn chance you’re asleep by the time I send in this one (10:00-ish in my time zone, probably 3:00-ish in yours), but I have a few more things to clarify about the Keye/Black Velvet/Culpepper lore.
No. 1: I’ve been scouting through the source blog and discovered that it is MIGHTILY k1nky in more than a few respects.
To avoid obvious uncomfortableness, Culpepper will not be like this, especially not with Keye (who’s basically his child).
Is he still shirtless 99% of the time? Yeah.
Does he think he’s hot? Oh, absolutely!
But it’s not something that ever becomes p•rnograp#ic. Just to clarify.
No. 2: @the-nagakenny-archives doesn’t know I’m doing this.
They have me blocked, they can’t see it.
I don’t want anyone telling them.
Not fanfiction, I…don’t think I’m comfortable calling it that now.
No. 3: TO THE ACTUALLY FUN STUFF THAT DOESN’T MAKE ME FEEL KINDA GROSS! Keye has a coworker at their pet store (it’s a PetSmart; I just wanted to clarify that). Said coworker is inspired off of a friend I made at camp, who did give me permission to basically use their likeness.
The character who is Keye’s friend is named Cotton. (Sorta like “cottonmouth”, get it?) Cotton is a normal human, but they’re intuitive enough to notice that Keye’s not totally normal…though, it still comes as a shock to them to realize that their friend is both a supernatural creature and a vigilante.
Cotton’s fun, twitchy, weird…cinnamon roll, all around.
They kind of annoy Culpepper by sheer virtue, so I guess we’ll see how that goes! :D
No. 4: Last one, every good adaptation needs a theme song, so here’s ours for this crazy serpentine saga! (Because swaying and moving just works so well for the coils, y’know?)
you were quite correct about the time stuff! but let me see what we've got
- okay, maybe that's why the blog isn't cool with minors hanging around
- i'm still cool with not telling 'em! again, you haven't planned to insult the origin blog, harass anyone or steal their ideas - you're just using it for inspiration, and that's a-okay in my eyes
- ah, the ol' coworker that just so happens to accidentally, near-perfectly represent myself. even down to the fact that they use my other preferred name. i'm still cool with it, so don't fret over that!
- lastly, music! music just rules in general
