Talking about tags, wondering if there's any of you who'd like to be tagged on comic updates? Fearing you might miss out on those since I don't post comics so often
Lemme know!
I should be working on the next update this night if all goes well! It's already sketched down but I gotta lineart and colour still sjkdnfdk I'll make sure to post some wips as it progresses!
Hey all! Sorry for a lack of comic updates for a bit now, It's been a crazy stressful start to the year and I'm currently in the process of moving (albiet a short distance which I'm thankful for) due to no longer being able to afford rent in my own place and I'm trying to get all moved before June! So bear with. The next page is also pretty detailed and for some reason William's head in exactly one panel is giving me grief so... blame him.
But! With that being said I went and did one of these ship dynamics things quick for fun and thought I'd chat about this and a lil' about how the endgame ship for the comic with some bits about lore and characterization for this AU comic :)
Detailed ramblings below! - If you can't see the watermark the template is by ChimChiri <3
1 - Sexuality
So, I've sort of talked about this before but I wanted to bring it up again to say - yes my version of William is strictly gay, full stop, and it's rather important to his character arch as he's very closeted and something he struggles with a lot. It is also historically relevant to the time I've set his human life to have been (which I'll get into a little later)
THAT BEING SAID, I doubt my silly comic would ever gain that much traction, but because I've seen shipping wars start over dumber reasons, if you ship William with another adult that happens to be femme/female presenting, I do not care LOL, I think any ships are valid and I would never consider myself an authority, even if you want to ship this version of william within the specific lore of this comic, I really don't mind, and I don't think its something worth ripping each other apart over. So thought I'd just say that now. :D
But yes, W2L William is fully gay and yes Sebwill is endgame (but it's going to be a sloooowwww burn. So strap in!)
2 - Age
I've put William's age at how old he is at the start of the comic, so he's 293 in 1888 at the start of the comic, and died when he was about 25 years old. ((EDIT IM DUMB HE'S 301 BECAUSE HE DIED AT THE AGE OF 25 IN 1612 IDK WHY I DID A DUMB)) If anyone feels like doing some math and checking out what was going on in England the year that he died, it might give some hints on where I'm going with things!
As for Sebastian.... I'm not sure he even remembers how old he is anymore. Get back to him on it.
3 - Introverted v Extroverted
This is likely self explanatory but William gets severely worn out by people, he gets his most grumpy when he's tired of having people around him. Sebastian l o v e s attention and being around people, so looks like poor William is a victim of the extrovert distribution system /jk jk
4 - Charismatic v Akward
This one was a little odd to think about, because, obviously William is a manager, he has to be a good communicator, and generally he is, but if I were to say... assign him charisma points on an RPG sheet (which I might do eventually, that seems like a fun idea lol) I would probably put him smack dab in the middle. Good act communicating straight up facts, not especially good at picking up cues at perhaps when he's come accross as mean or too blunt - that's where I'd say he's a little more akward.
As for Sebastian, he is absolutely a demon with a silver tongue, and while I head cannon that often doesn't get certain things humans do, he's just so gosh darn annoyingly charming that he gets away with it. Hence the high charisma points.
5 - Pessimist v Optomist
I feel like its hard to be a reaper and be ACTUALLY optomistic. Sebastian however, is confident he has a long life ahead of him and likes it that way, so what does he have to worry about? Must be nice not to have existential dread or be affected by larger human politics....
6 - Chaotic v Organized
Sebastian is pretty dang organized (as should one hell of a....) but William just blows him out of the water. He likes things a very specific way and he's the type where making planners, spreadsheets, and efficient systems relaxes him. If Sebastian is ever 'chaotic' its absolutely specifically to mess with someone.
7 - Peaceful v Confrontational
Sebastian isn't particularly shy at all about facing down conflict, He would not be fun to get into an argument with because boy howdy will he make it personal.
William isn't quite as jabbing, but again, he is... blunt, and he does have a temper on him despite trying to keep cool. That being said he doesn't actually like getting to that point, so he will sometimes avoid conflict because he genuinely doesn't like getting mad... but sometimes people just make that hard for him.
8 - Night Owl v Early bird
I put Seb on both ends because he doesn't need to sleep, so he can do whatever, I imagine if he has a partner that needs sleep he'll just adapt to whatever their schedule is.
I think potentially by nature William is an early bird, but he's had to work overtime SO much that he's basically just flipped at this point, so now he hates mornings.
9 - Many prior relationships v No prior relationships
This one is a little tricky for William because it kind of depends on how you define a "relationship". He has certainly tried for the sake of fitting expectations put upon him. In terms of being with someone he was actually attracted to, lets just say he had his heart broken pretty badly. He's not exactly inexperienced but mans has had it rough in that department.
Sebastian is of course, an immortal demon. He's gotten around, jury is out on if most of those encounters could be considered 'relationships', maybe a few when he was a little """younger""".
10 - Overprotective v Relax
Once Sebastian actually has something or someone, he does NOT like it being taken away, it can ebb a little into being a control freak at times.
William is feircly loyal to those he's bonded to, and will absolutely go out of his way to help them even if he seems like he doesn't care, he just doesn't quite go as far as Sebastian can tend to.
11 - Little Spoon v Big Spoon
They definitely trade, it just tends to lean towards William being the little spoon because he tends to like sleeping where he can see an open door if he wakes up in the middle of the night for very real trauma related reasons.
12 - No Pet Names v Uses Many Pet Names
When they get to that point, William has a couple for Sebastian if he's feeling especially affectionate, though most often if not his name he might just use 'Darling', but Sebastian has SO SO many its actually crazy, he found out about the concept once and he will try them all at least once, and has a solid few he uses regularly
13 - Only Homecooked Food v Take Out Everyday
William absolutely prefers homecooked meals, but you know... with what time?? He also frankly sucks at cooking himself, this man's brain turns off in the kitchen, something about it overwhelms him or he gets distracted easily. He IS however very good at making drinks/brewing coffee, man was either a barista or a bartender in another life where he could handle being around people that often more.
Sebastian is... Sebastian. While he might not eat human food often himself, he has grown to appreciate the artistry of it, and loves to show off. However he definitely struggles to not use his abilities to speed things along. Perhaps if William told him he's making "fast food" he'd be appalled and be able to slow down lol
14 - Afraid of bugs v Carries bugs outside
So Sebastian will actually often if he can take bugs to feed spiders or birds if he sees them around specifically, he's honoring his ''''brother'''' in a way, and if he sees a spider he'll move it to a safe spot out of the way.
Now here's the thing with William, he doesn't necessarily hate bugs or spiders, but some of them make him... uncomfortable. What he actually really hates and is terrified of is rats, which... couldn't be me, but I think you'd be scared of them too if you've been nibbled on by them before in a dark enclosed space, or had bugs drop on your head and unable to get away from them at a young age. Though in general he's more likely be be grossed out or get sick from seeing bugs, not particularly /afraid/. Keep in mind too in his time such creatures were associated with plagues and pestilence. William would likely think modern cleaning solutions and showers are the best inventions humans ever came up with.
15 - Silver Tongue v Potty Mouth
These two are both very proper british gentleman... however William is slightly more likely to swear than Sebastian.
16 - Party Animal v Home Body
Sebastian loves himself a good gathering, especially if he's the center of attention, but he's not a 'go partying every night' sort either, he burnt out on that ages ago. William absolutely would rather stay home, if you want him to go out you're in for 15 minutes or more of arguing with him.
17 - Stubbornness!
William may just be the king of stubborn, with Sebastian lagging only slightly behind.
18 - Jealousy
William gets a normal amount of jealous , he certainly can feel it, but its not over the top.
Sebastian... oh boy, he's sometimes actually toxic about it. The one point he has others who get severely jealous is he doesn't accuse the object of his affection of cheating or being up to something, but he absolutely gets envious easily at anyone giving or getting attention from the person he loves and will absolutely try to one up them. If someone decides to get especially bold... well... they're in danger lol
19 - Confidence
Sebastian frankly could stand to get a little more humble, like actually more humble not fake humble. While William absolutely needs to opposite and to eventually learn he deserves better than what he got.
20 - Showing affection
They both tend to show affection physically... words are hard! Its more that William prefers to show affection in private with a still lingering feeling that he'll be judged or harmed, while Sebastian wants to show off his partner and how close they are to everyone.
21 - First Emotions
I don't think Sebastian knew what it was for a long time, but he absolutely fell for William right away, but he keeps it to himself both because he doesn't realize he's fallen for him but also because it's rather compicated for them to be together to begin with even when the feeling is mutual.
William is obviously on guard for a lot of reasons, and he's technically supposed to kill demons on site so.... ..... but he can't help but start to like the stupid demon as time passes
Both of them suck at talking about it and getting together because they're idiots.
22 - Handling Money
This was funny to think about because I've never thought about it. As a demon Sebastian could actually have money falling out of his ass if he really wanted to. So... he could have as much as he wanted at any given time and have no concept of saving. He could perhaps coach a human through it, but for himself he really doesn't care lmao.
William grew up decently well off, but he agonizes over getting literally anything for himself so... pretty frugal.
Annnnd that's it! If you stuck around thank you for reading my ramblings for fun!
Last Call for OCs to be featured in IEPFB:R Chapter Eight!
Hi everyone!! As you probably know from this post, I am looking for Creepypasta OCs to make appearances in the background of Chapter Eight of I Eat Pasta for Breakfast: Revisited (my creepypasta fancomic/rewrite of I Eat Pasta for Breakfast, which you can read here: @everydayisquiet). So far, not a lot of people have submitted OCs! (Perhaps I should have tagmaxxed...)
Anyway, currently, the list of OCs that will be included are (in no particular order)...
Samara by @rotmilkbride
The Reaper by @rabidrabiess-com
Diane by @yoink-a-doink
Min Chae-won and Mayumi Shinrin by @linguine-legacy-crp-blog
Cassie by @mushr00mb3ll
Please support all of these blogs and show them some love!! All of their OCs are very cool, and it would be awesome if they got more attention!
Beyond that, there is still lots of room for other OCs! To submit, post your OC, their information and their backstory and tag it with #IEPFBR8 so I can see it. If not enough people submit their OCs, I will use the submissions I already have, and get the rest of the background characters from IRL friends and perhaps the Creepypasta Files Wiki via the "Random Page" button.
Even if I have backups, I would REALLY love to see you guys' OCs, so PLEASE show them to me! Thanks!!
