i hate being a business owner in midnight alley wdym my most annoying customer and his friends got ahold of the keepers guild emergency walkie-talkie 😭

[so0ppa]

very miscellaneous details i noticed in the first episode

-all/most the posters (might be some i didnt spot)

-not to worry! the gun that interned intern is shot with is labeled "stun" so theyre... probably fine?

-the vhs (or extraterrestrial equivalent idk) is labeled "for new family"

-this note seemed to go ignored 😔

-wowza that kill count!

-kip's shirt's only half tucked into his pants and his name tag reads gub

-catch the odd one(s) out i guess?

-vee's hair is shorter and her shirt's fully buttoned up in the brief flashback to her first day

-and the huge deedee sign at the storefront waves :p

do you think greed, as a dragon, would look cool

all dragons look cool so yea

[so0ppa]

being nr 1 greed fan sucks so bad i have like 4 different interpretations of his motivation all of which are shaky and debatable because theyre reverse engineered from actions and words that might be him just grifting and not like. anything he actually believes. hate him and his nonexistent ass.

ok I had to write down some thoughts. about greed again. (personally! im an option 1 guy here)

lightning swamp man drawfee reference and such . uhhhh

on the topic of sci . i'd love to see more art of her!! i love the uniform (?) u gave her ... the light teal and black/red colours work so well together imo ... i'd love to hear more of her backstory and stuff too ... along with taisto's :D

anon you sure are lucky i have so much art of sci because she's existed way before <tl> and she's my favourite forever

ALSO YES i love her outfit i put so much thought into colours with her!! (and alot of the other characters as well tbh but it's most obvious w/sci. her clothesg r always colder colours vs the accents she chooses :3c) yeaghh art under cut (will explain some stuff along the way bcz i love yapping teehee)

i made her in like dec 20 2022. so she's almost 2 years old woah.. ofc initially she was sort of a self-insert oc and her name was mad scientist (to go along with the twaeu "just the names of their trope" naming convention) also i was v indecisive with her pronouns iirc so i went back and forth all the time lol.

plot and character was kinda ehh all over the place. it doesnt matter much now but basically her deal was "stuck between having to choose bio 'family' n found family both of which suck" and also neglected/lack of stable parental figure(s), abandonment issues and other angst that wasnt important and i barely explored atp.

THEN around february this year. i started thinking "wow my incredibly headcanoned and basically unrecognizable version of prime* and this oc, sci, are kind of perfect for each other" and shit snowballed from there.

(*who's taisto now if it wasn't. obvious.)

shit clicked way more for me a bit later on!! but this was basically perfect.

ok and then i made <tl> and put them in as sort of side plot but not really? sci is way less prevalent (which i realised only recently to great regret but also im a bit happy shes not plot relevant since it means i can spoil more /j) but taisto is p important so i wont talk about him that much other than we hate him and he sucks and i love him as a character i wouldn't have him any other way :)

ok so in tags for my answer to the last ask i mentioned sci's got a lot of sensitive subjects going on w/her and alot of that is because she's vulnerablee as hell. intellectually this girl is soo smart and strong but her emotional regulation skills are fuucked. partly due to having to grow up way quick (as i mentioned. the parental neglect lol) !! and yeah alot of sci/taisto touches on manipulation etc..

its p personal to me since again. sci's whole "feeling older even when ur not" and . abandonment issues. are basically whole sale projected fjdhfd. and alot of the time i, fucked upedly, think "damn id be easy to manipulate," n apart of me is always pushing back on that (both because kind of effed up thought and, well, "no i wouldnt since im thinking that smh smh") but also like. garfield you are not immune to propaganda meme. and so yea its a whole exploration of stupid feelings as most art is lol.

hiii ... are you ok with people drawing your fan/headcanon designs of twaeu characters and with people drawing your characters from the <tag later> story... just making sure to not cross any boundaries... :3

YES FOREVER.... treat my characters as you would any other normal fictional character... honestly with <tl> since i want to make it a book their designs are more for my own reference and not set in stone save for broad strokes so srsly do whatever the hell EXCEPT making anyone slimmer or lightening skin thats genuinely my only boundary lmao
