“Once we get planning officially started, I’m taking her advice and suggesting you for the photographer,” Penelope giggled, hugging Natsumi back and pointing at Kiva-la. “I mean, if you want to?”

Natsumi let go, directing Penelope to the lounge. “I would be happy to, actually! Just let me know when and where.” 

Kiva-la nodded. “We’d love to do that! I mean, hello, I pitched this to you in the first place because I knew it was coming! Call it a woman’s intuition,” she said with a smirk.

starsmuseathon:

“Sure, but before you do, check this out,” Penelope said, unable to wait any longer and holding her left hand out to show the ring off.

“Oh! Congratulations!” Natsumi hugged Penelope. 

Kiva-la snickered. “See, I told you,” she said in mirth.

“Hey Natsumi! Are you busy?” Penelope called as she practically bounced into the studio, hands tucked into her pants pockets.

“Just a moment!” She called from the back of the Hikari Studio. Sounded like she was in the darkroom. A few minutes later, she emerged, Kiva-la swooping past her. 

Natsumi smiled at Penelope. “I’m free now. Want me to go ahead and put on some tea?” She asked. Kiva-la settled on her shoulder, watching for now.

Her and Alain's six month anniversary was coming up and Penelope had absolutely no idea what to do for him. Maybe Natsumi could help! So here she was popping into the studio and looking around. "Natsumi?"

Kiva-la was the first to react, as she had been napping her hutch. She fluttered out, coming to a stop in front of Penelope’s face. “Ah! Penny-chan~! You came to see me again, ne? Don’t be shy! I’ll go tell Natsumi right away!” The bat flew off into the back of the Photo Studio, smacking a door down the hall with her wing. “Natsumiiii! Penny-chan is here!” 

Natsumi’s voice was muffled. “Get out from in front of the door, Kiva-la, I’m going to hit you when I open it!” 

The Kivat-bat nodded. “Haaaai~” And flew back up front. “She’ll be right with you! Why don’t you go take a seat in the lounge, ne?”

Hesitantly reaching for the distorted pictures, Penelope flipped through them curiously as she answered Natsumi’s question. “Just been on a lot of patrols and stuff,” she said, before glancing up at the hutch again. “You want to know what she said while you were making tea? She said that if Alain and I got married I should ask you to be the wedding photographer. I mean, thanks for the idea but at least let him propose first,” she finished with a giggle. 

Her eyes widened a little when Penelope told her what the Kivat-bat suggested, but Natsumi laughed shortly afterwards. “That sounds like her! I wouldn’t mind doing that, personally, but I understand that’s not exactly in your plans anytime soon.”

“You have no idea,” Penelope muttered, shooting a glare at Kiva-la’s hutch. “She’s adorable but an absolute pain in the neck.”

“She can be a brat, but I care a lot about her. Besides...she’s helping me work on my parenting skills. At least, I’d like to think so. She’s like a spoiled child sometimes...you just have to be strict.” She laughs. “So, how are you doing lately?” Natsumi asked, picking up some of the photos and going through them. She had left the distorted ones on the coffee table.

“Ah well…can I get back to you on that later?” she squeaked hiding her face in her hands. 

Kiva-la partially covered her face with her wing, leaning back and letting out raucous laughter. “Ohohoho!” She flew away, returning to her hutch just as Natsumi came back in.

“Sorry about that. I hope she didn’t tease you too much.” Though, judging by Penelope’s expression, Natsumi gathered that she’d taken the brunt of the mischevious little bat’s teasing. “Tea should be done in a bit.”

Penelope stared at Kiva-la with wide eyes, her cheeks flaring up almost as red as her hair. “Uh…well…we haven’t even gotten to talking about that yet but um…I’ll keep that in mind…”

Great now you’ve got her her thinking about it.

Kiva-la grinned. “Ooooh! Someone’s embarssed! How cute! Penny-chan, you look adorable when you’re blushing! Ne, I bet you want kids, too! Am I right?” She snickers.

“Depends really,” Penelope said. “If it’s like right after a battle on either of our ends, we just like to cuddle somewhere.” At the mention of tea, she nodded. “Strawberry if you have it?”

“Hai. I’ll be right back. Kiva-la, you behave while I’m gone.” Natsumi got up, leaving for the kitchen to go pu on some tea. 

Kiva-la stuck her tongue out at Natsumi as she left, though she would comply regardless. She flew over to Penelope, landing on her shoulder. “Ne, Penny-chan. When you two get married you should ask Natsumi to be your wedding photographer!”

Appreciate OCs

Before I remake this blog, I got to get one thing off my chest. Appreciate and interact with original characters. Yeah, I know there are douchebag OCs who are overpowered or only want romantic ships, etc.. BUT DON’T LABEL THE MAJORITY BY THE MINORITY. Especially, if it’s a person you know who has a canon muse and is a nice mun. They aren’t going to change into a completely mean person just because they have an original character. 

As a person with quite a few original characters, lemme tell you: 

It takes time to get their personalities just right so they don’t come off as a mary sue/gary stu

If you have a female OC, good luck getting interactions because it’s 4x as hard for them [us]

It takes time to get a faceclaim that works just right OR if you draw your characters you will be forever in icon hell. 

And once you get that faceclaim. The manga/comic/anime caps can take DAYS if you are doing them by hand. Then you have to resize them, color them, put overlays on theM.

A LOT of times your faceclaim doesn’t have renders so you gotta do that yourself and design a flipping background for a container so you look “cool” because some reason you will be overlooked just because you don’t have it [WHICH SHOULD CHANGE!]

Backstory. Backstory. Backstory. It takes days of research to come up with this stuff and if you are building a world…holy guacamole. Some people draw maps, do languages, and even draw EVERYTHING. 

And you know what? MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE DON’T EVEN READ YOUR SHIT. LIKE ALL THAT RESEARCH AND DEDICATION DOWN THE DRAIN. 

So. PLEASE. Respect original characters. Try interacting with them. If you’ve had a bad experience, I understand. But if it’s a person you’ve interacted with before [as in canon muses] then please try to interact with their OCs at least. Maybe expand your horizons after. Trust me there are so many fun OCs out there with the sweetest muns who deserve love and respect. 

Sincerely, 

An OC creator

“Oh! A picnic sounds nice. Getting away from the city life is always good.” Natsumi, herself, preferred the countryside, even if she was a city girl. “Is there a nice hillside there with a lone tree? I think that would be the perfect place.”

“There’s a hill in the back of the house, yeah, but there’s about three trees there, but I can see where you’re coming from.”

“Well, more shade then.” She shrugs. “Is Alain much of the outdoors type?” Natsumi asked. “Ah! I should put on some tea. Any particular requests?”

Natsumi sat back, tapping her chin. “Hm….six months? I suppose half a year is cause for celebration. Maybe….a date to somewhere that has some sentimental value?” She shook her head. “No, no. Maybe to classy restaurant? I’m sure Alain would like that.” 

“I’d ask him but I want it to be a surprise,” Penelope mumbled as she thought it over before perking up. “Or maybe a picnic? My mom owns a farm, and when I’m not doing my Rider stuff I’m usually there helping her.”

“Yeah,” Penelope said, rubbing the back of her neck as she tilted her head at the pictures. Making a note to ask about them later, she looked back up at her friend. “I’m here for some advice this time, actually. See, my six month anniversary with my boyfriend is coming up and…I have absolutely no freaking clue what to do for him.” Holding one finger up, she continued, “He’s my first boyfriend ever, so I can’t go back to anything I’d done before, because well, I haven’t.”

Natsumi sat back, tapping her chin. “Hm....six months? I suppose half a year is cause for celebration. Maybe....a date to somewhere that has some sentimental value?” She shook her head. “No, no. Maybe to classy restaurant? I’m sure Alain would like that.”

“Partly,” Penelope giggled, giving Kiva-la a pet or two before she flew off down the hall. moving to sit in the lounge, turning her Advent Deck over in her hands as she waited.

Wait does Natsumi even know about Alain? Penelope honestly could not remember if she’d told the other woman about him or not.

Natsumi emerged from the darkroom, newly developed photos in hand. Some of them seemed distorted or strangely composed, while others were normal. She came into the lounge, setting the fresh photographs on the coffee table. Smiling, she sat down across from Penelope. “Hello! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? At least a few weeks since you last stopped by for tea, right?”
