WALES MENTIONNNNN 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 CYMRU AM BYTH!!!!! May I ask where you're staying/if you're seeing anything interesting?

Haha, this is actually like my 10th time in Wales, I travel here multiple times a year to see my dear uni friends ❤ Not gonna doxx em but let's just say I'm visiting the central/East side of Wales.

Back when I just started visiting we'd go and see many of the local castles and estates, a couple of waterfalls, and take scenic walks through the mountain/hillside (my city ass loooves the sheep) but recently we've been just chilling and enjoying each other's company ❤

I was promised a rooftop BBQ this time around!! And. And they did acquire tomodachi life living the dream. We made The Babadook yesterday. M. Maybe they'll let me make Orion if I beg sweetly enough

feliz Jueves and I'll see you tomorrow

On holidays in Wales :) Seeing my friends :) life has never been better wind in my hair love in my heart!!

[marciaillust]

I live for your doodles of Orion and Garret, they bring me such joy. And I love the doodle and color palette for it! Do you have any AU’s on how they would interact irl? Or have a university/college AU for them? What would Garret study if he was a student? Would Orion be interested in studying in the medical or engineering fields?

Ohohoho..... there are plenty of AUs.

Many of them nobody is privy to except me and my editor/best friend L (no death note relation), because the AUs are too revealing of the nature of the actual comic (and I would much rather show you the comic than a spoiler heavy au doodle). But I must admit I am very not interested in university AUs on their own. I very much think of the characters as adults first, even if they are young adults, so I like putting them in employment (or at least part-time jobs as they mauver the late stage independent uni life). If uni comes into play, Orion is most often doing either IT or engineering, while Garret attends a literature oriented course or creative writing. There are two, let's say, normalcore AUs that find their strength not in the narrative they tell, but in the potential to showcase an angle of the characters that is not usually touched upon.

The one in question is something L and I offhandedly call the shopping mall au, though it's not about the shopping mall at all. The basic premise is that due to reasons (whether it'd be a no-clock world, or Orion still attending uni) Orion is working a minimum wage job at a Tesco or, god forbid, a fast food place. It's a pretty fun sandbox of an AU. How does Orion, who (originally in TCM proper) is a very privileged and ignorant individual employed at his mom's studio, handle adversity of a spill in aisle 4? How does he cope with frustrations of his 9-5? What are the personality traits that make Orion Orion beyond the surface level sentiment of "I love coding"? In the same vein it's fun to imagine Garret in a similar position. In this particular AU he's employed at a LUSH (soaps/bathbombs), which presents his own set of circumstances for him.

If you've ever seen any doodle of Orion and Garret smoking you can be 99.9% certain it's the shopping mall au. Canonically neither Orion nor Garret smoke on the reg; Orion because he's a medic conscious of the consequences, and Garret because he's got no means of purchasing them.

However as a wise sage once said

This is really random, but Garret in green is lowkey giving me Wind Archer Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom vibes (just a bit). I think the color looks really nice on him! :D

no way

after years of following you i finally picked up the clockmaster last night. caught up way too quickly, im absolutely devastated. the art is AMAZING (i love the exaggerated expressions) and the character dynamics are so charming. very intrigued on what happens next...

also, the latest update with garret reminded me of something. have you seen the recent study that came out about the limitations of serial cloning in mammals? i may be way off here but this feels like a similar vibe :3

Hi! Yay, I'm happy you enjoyed the read! <3 haha just in time for the final update before I recede back to my dark dark basement of a workshop to work on more. Thank you for the kind kind compliments!!!!! Oh, I've never heard of this study, that's quite intriguing! And almost... dare I say poetic? Ever generation of clones degrading faster and faster... like trying to preserve something ephemeral and the consequences of one's desperation catch up with them.... in a weird way the borrowed time is making me think of the movie Substance, if in surface level themes only. (Banger movie btw!) The story for the Clockmaster has been written years ago and while it's not set in stone (I'm allowing it to surprise me through the little things in the detailed scripts of every chapter), any resemblance to brand new medical breakthroughs will be purely accidental (or it might even end up contradicting them, haha!). But whatever the case may be, when it comes to medicine, all it's always been is finding ways to prevent the meat machines that we all pilot from breaking down. There's an inherent tragedy to owning a body, argh! Oh but medicine and bio-engineering is so fascinating! I should look more into this study, I wonder what the fatal flaw of the system is!
