Since Dominic canonically plays board games with Sandbag together, which brothers are most likely to rage quit? Idk this pops up in my brain

Neither of the siblings ever rage-quits, but they're the type who will absolutely accuse each other of cheating, even when neither of them is. They just really hate losing at board games. Lol.

Since Dominic is a first born therefore he's the older brother, what was his reaction when he saw baby Sandbag for the first time after he was born?

^Im a lore enthusiast I need more information....👀👀

He was EXTREMELYYYY HAPPY when baby Sandbag was born!! He's happy to be a big brother... Kuya Dominic. 🥺

its.. been a while.. hasnt it.. haha

Im trying to make sense with my wording so apologies but what would Dominic do if someone calls him a mean guy accusingly?

He can't really do anything about it, sadly... He wants people to stop calling him that because he's never been mean to anyone. He didn't even do anything to them. But he's afraid that if he speaks up or reacts, he'll just get treated worse. So instead, he stays quiet and ignores it.

ALRIGHT NO MORE ANGST SLOP ABOUT THE BROTHERS I WANT THEM HAPPY 4EVER!!! Btw, would Dominic approved me if i put a little cute stickers in his face in the positive way possible [happy] :D

He wouldn't mind at all! He actually likes having stickers on his face. Growing up, the neighborhood kids used to cover his face in stickers all the time. Back when he was still living in the Philippines, he was like the big brother to them. (The secondary big brother title goes to Sandbag.)

Ok sorry If this is gonna sound so angst-slop since I love Dominic sm but hypothetically what happens if Dominic dies instead of Sandbag? It's gonna be a gut wrecking answer...🥹

Sandbag would likely take it the hardest. Even though their relationship was strained, he never stopped trying to reconnect. Dominic's death would turn that into permanent regret. There would be no final conversation, no closure, just the realization that all his attempts were still ongoing when they stopped forever. It would reinforce the idea that Dominic never truly "came back" to him.

For Dominic himself, the tragedy is that he dies still trapped in his core belief that he was replaced or unwanted. Even if, in reality, Sandbag always cared and never gave up, Dominic wouldn't fully get to resolve that misunderstanding. That makes his death feel less peaceful.

Narratively, it would also reshape Sandbag's path. Instead of being the one constantly reaching out, he'd carry the weight of his 'mistakes', even if he did everything he could. It becomes a loop of grief where both brothers are stuck on the same missed timing.

In short, Dominic's death wouldn't just end his story. It would freeze it at its most painful point... A man who never fully believed he mattered, dying before he could be proven wrong by his brother, whom he loved and cared for so much.

just wanted to quickly appreciate how great you wrote Dominic. i really like him.

btw the question... idk maybe how did you get the idea of creating him/what was the inspiration for him? like generally curious about it. sorry for whatever reason.

Thank you!! I'm glad you like him and the writing I did for him!!

This will sound personal, but I originally created him as a projection character alongside Sandbag. At the time, I was projecting onto Sandbag by introducing Dominic, making Sandbag the youngest brother in a family where he doesn't have a healthy relationship with his older brother. My own older brother was the main inspiration behind Dominic.

Over time, though, I became more attached to Dominic as a character and I started to dislike how he was originally written. So I rewrote his character... And after the rewrite, Dominic became a separate character I project onto. My struggles go to him.

Does Dominic and Sandbag go to school together during childhood days? If yes then, do people usually bully them back in the old days?

They attended school together back when they were young! Yes. A lot of kids used to pick on them, especially Sandbag. Still, he and Dominic always had each other's backs.

[seaumbrasstuff]

What are Dominic’s opinions on the other contestants? Or, the contestants he interacted with?

[seaumbrasstuff]

What does Dominic,,,,think of Bones if he has opinions about them 👀👀

No opinions on them since he and Bones haven't interacted.

[seaumbrasstuff]

how would Dominic react if I handed him a live, slopping wet seal straight out of the ocean and skedaddled away 🦭

He'd get a heart attack. 💔

[seaumbrasstuff]

Speaking of boxing, does Dominic have any other secondary hobbies besides boxing? I rlly wanted to know

He likes wood carving and board games. Whenever he needs to pause boxing, he goes to his small makeshift workshop in the backyard to make wood ornaments. Or he would play board games with Sandbag.
