* Hello everyone!! I've been considering doing this for a while but I've decided to finally bite the bullet and do it, so I'm pleased to announce I now have a Ko-fi!!
* If you're a fan of my art/writing (writing is over on @yandereocs always be plugging) and would like to support me then here's one way to do it!!
* Of course, do NOT feel obligated to give me anything!! Just seeing everyone like my posts and send me questions is support enough. So please don't feel pressured to donate anything!!
* I'm still trying to figure out how everything works on Ko-fi but I believe if you donate on there, you're able to attach a message to the donation? If that's the case, if you write down a character of mine you would like to have a doodle of, I'll be happy to draw something!! Example being: "Can you draw Bonnie?" or you can even ask for a simple doodle like "Bonnie doing heart hands" or something like that!! I'll do one character per donation!!
* My Ko-fi is linked here so if you're interested in that, feel free to check it out!! If you do check it out, even if you don't donate anything, thank you so much!! And thank you for enjoying my content!!
I could not be a game developer for an rpg because I would lock the true ending behind playing on easy mode and change the amount of information you are given behind the difficulty without making any mention of it because the stories I would tell would not be about conflict and conquest, but understanding and adaptability to change.
these are some of my favorite illustrations that are like: You would see these screens during death but not have any idea they are plot relevant because you are exacerbating the rate of a black hole expanding because you are putting an excessive amount of pressure on a fresh vessel with an old soul with no ability to warn you
* I REALLY hope it looks okay...I didn't realize how dark the colors were until AFTER I exported it. It looks fine on a higher phone brightness so hopefully most people look at this with a high brightness 😭😭
* But I had to participate in this trend!! This is my first actual project with Toonsquid. I'm still trying to figure things out but so far it's definitely more convenient than Flipaclip. I could easily loop the rabbit animation instead of having to manually copy and paste the frames across the entire project!!!
* I tried to do a slow zoom out thing with the camera feature in the app but I couldn't make it look good so I gave up. But that's okay because I'm really happy with the animation itself
Hiii! I am new to your blog though I have been looking at your blog a while ago.
I really love how you write Elijah's characters and it does really make me hate his guts as well analysing his motivation and such!
It makes me wonder, why did you write him to be this way and what is your thought process of his character?
- Oogly Boogly Anon ✨️
* AHHHH DUDE THIS IS SO SWEET THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
* Elijah is by far one my favorite OCs. Definitely like top 3. I also think he's one of my best written too. SO I'M REALLY GLAD PEOPLE OUT HERE THINK THE SAME TOO THANK YOUU
* My thought process behind Elijah's character is simple, I think. If he's going to exists the way he does, he needs to have a clear and explicit reason for every single one of his behaviors. Otherwises it just seems like he's here being weird towards his sister for...no reason. And I didn't want that. And this isn't an excuse for his behavior. He's disgusting and his behavior should not be excused in anyway. The sole task was to give reasons. Explanations
* Now, as for the thought process of why I created him the way I did, I also think it's really simple. Elijah has always existed in the early drafts of the stories, and he always played the role of the overprotective brother. BUT, being young and super into the yandere trope, I would often accidentally turn his protectiveness into possessiveness. When I realized how weird he was, that's when I decided to find all the sources of his behavior, rather than just getting rid of him or toning him down. But again, why would I do that?
* Well, it just perfectly fit the narrative. It was the perfect catalyst for Bonnie's behavior, it gave me a perfect reason for Zack to kill Elijah, it gave the story an antagonist while waiting for Jackson to kick stuff off. Making Elijah a disgusting creep just perfectly served the needs of the story. And he's just one guy!!
* So, to continue the thought process. All of his reasons for his behaviors had to be "understandable" in a way. Heavy quotations. Because while the situation Elijah grew up in is unfavorable and awful and could absolutely push someone to not be great, Elijah simply took things way too far and way to extreme, and so he loses any and all pity. Because again, I absolutely do NOT want to excuse his actions in any way. There is no reason for his actions to be redeemed or excused. He's a manipulator and an abuser, and he's one who doesn't even see issue with how he behaves. His backstory is to EXPLAIN it. NOT excuse it
* Luckily, the backstory and worldbuilding I did for Bonnie made it EXTREMELY easy to slip Elijah into the role I needed him for. Bonnie is a bunny hybrid, the lowest of the Hybrid hierarchy. In fact, all bunny hybrids are either dead or in hiding. Her father being one in hiding, disguised as a cat hybrid. But when Bonnie was born, her parents abandoned her because they didn't want to be saddled with the burden and risk of caring for her. And it was a similar story for her older sister, Amethyst, when she cracked under the pressure
* That backstory immediately makes it easy for me to insert Elijah, AND give him all the needed reasons for his horrible behavior. His twin sister, Amethyst, was the golden child. Elijah felt like an outcast in his own family. When Bonnie was born, who was a true outcast, Elijah immediately gets attached and he decides to care for her in place of his parents. Immediately Elijah is given a reason for his attachment to his sister, and he has reason to be so doting on her, which is to make up for the lack of parental love
* Amethyst and Elijah try raising Bonnie together but resentments and tension grow between the two until Amethyst packs her bags and leaves to find her parents. Now Elijah has a reason for being so possessive, Bonnie now the only family he has left. And he also has an explanation for forcing Bonnie into the "perfect little sister" role that he refuses to let her deviate from, he doesn't want a repeat of his relationship with Amethyst
* And of course, since Elijah is caring for Bonnie, he's completely stopped from having any other friendships or relationships. If he has friends or a girlfriend, he could never take them home since Bonnie would be found out. And he can't afford to spend too much time away from home because his sister is young and needs him. The isolation drives him mad, and that's the explanation for why he acts so inappropriate towards Bonnie. He's using her to fulfill the relationships that she's stopping him from having. Very gross
* And my thoughts process was that the longer Elijah lives this life, the more he'll justify it and the worse he'll get. He was 12 when Bonnie was born. His actions of overprotectiveness and extremely coddling was out of fear and uncertainty. But the older he gets, everything gets worse. Now he's not just coddling and doting on his sister because he thinks it's what you should do when you have a baby. Now he's refusing to let her learn to take care of herself so she stays dependent on him and never leaves. Now he's not keeping her hidden for her safety, he's outright breaking her legs to stop her from sneaking out because he doesn't like that she's finding comfort in Zack and the Twins and he wants her to stay home with him
* And like I said earlier, writing him this way is the perfect reason for so many things happening the way they do. Bonnie grows up to be a highly aggressive person who fears the outdoors, which strains her relationship with her children and has Noah build resentment for her. Zack hates Elijah for how he treats Bonnie and he allows Jackson to encourage him to kill Elijah, setting off how much control Jackson has over Zack and his negative and destructive desires. And, of course, it has the story be more interesting than just "Bonnie sits at home all days and does nothing but hang out with her brother". Now it builds this sort of impending doom of how Bonnie NEEDS to get out of this situation, and fast

Last year I started designing a series of Coat of Arms, themed in the spirit of Pride Month and using different mythological creatures as heraldic animals. I now aim to turn these designs into wearable pins and will be running a Kickstarter in Julyto fund this endeavor!
In addition to these 5 designs I wish to be able to crowdfund enough to be able to also manufacture the following pins and identities:
I have found a very trustworthy local manufacturer, who has already shown the quality of their craftsmanship with the first batch of test pins I received, just look at the detail they were able to produce!
Since I try to support local manufacturers, which produce pins with fair wages and are more ethical than outside of Europe, the pins are more expensive to create than through the usual pipeline via Asia.
I therefore seek to crowdfund the expenses since they would be more than I can afford. If you are interested and look forward to support this little endeavor, please follow the link below to sign up for a mailing list. People who signed up on the email list and pledged during the campaign will receive an exclusive sticker set by the end of a successful launch consisting of the following designs:
