what if mail addisons were just like that

this post is from late september. there was more art i wanted to add to it, but having these drafts is driving me up a wall. so when i finish more i'll add more.

brief refs under the cut for original characters i may never use again?! (from the future: i did actually end up drawing and using these characters again)

no pronouns or they/them for all.

Mail World has always been a very lax and relatively sparse Dark World, though it's slowly sprung to a sleepy kind of life as time's gone on. It used to be relatively self-sustained, as there was little to do, but many of the darker corners of the post office were dangerous and empty enough to prompt Mail Darkners to stay in small pockets of civilization. It wasn't much, but it was honest living.

Aolton showed up not too long after the Mail World's leader, Granny (a desktop computer) did. Their collective arrival brightened up the post office, making Mail World more habitable and more colorful than before. It was a sudden change, uncertain and exciting, and Aolton leapt into bridging the gap between the new digital and old physical Mail Worlds. Granny has always been sweet and gentle (though very much a pushover), so Aolton is seen as her official advisor of a type. Something to be noted is that the post office computer is small and holds very little, so outside of its internet connection, Mail World's digital section is incredibly small. So, the digital inhabitants prefer living with the physical darkners.

Aolton, Baronial, and C4 are Mail World's long-standing addisons and so stuck together as close friends/partners. Other addisons of every kind have come and gone--including Spamton's parent (our Pink Senior Addison), who knows the three well. All three survived into the present, but Aolton and Baronial changed drastically moving into the new era. C4 stayed the same.

Aolton cleaned up their act and shook off their addictions, though they still remain (and are able to be more of) themself.

Baronial has gotten less exuberant and more reserved as time has gone on--saddened by the steady slow of handwritten letters. However, Baronial is just as passionate and simply redirects energy into being qualitative over quantitative.

C4 still has many facts to infodump about when prompted.

And how will this look like after Bella’s ppig has been there a few *cough* days?

Good Morning from Scotland

Craigievar Castle, Aberdeenshire by Ian Cowe Via Flickr: One advantage of living in Aberdeenshire is the number of National Trust for Scotland properties which are nearby. Craigievar is arguably the prettiest looking Castle in the area and is said to have inspired the Walt Disney Castle.
