(For the character thing) Milo Thatch!

sexuality/gender headcanon: bi trans dude because i love to Project (after lucy pevensie milo was the first character that i remember identifying super hard with as a little kid and i STILL feel that way)

otp: him and kida are so precious

brotp: the scene where he meets dr. sweets has me in absolute hysterics every time i watch the movie, but also his relationship with audrey is the cutest and also all his earnest interactions with vinnie are the best and— yknow what, just the entirety of the crew (with the obvious exceptions of helga and rourke)

notp: i am not involved in atlantis in a fannish sense at all so i have no idea

random hc: first language he picked up was latin in grade school, and he was a classics & linguistics double major in undergrad. also: his granddad thaddeus probably taught him greek so he could read plato’s republic, which mentions atlantis, in the original

favorite pic of them: this fanart is just so, so good

Ok I absolutely LOVE les normaux And just wanted to ask how you manage having such a big character cast? Like how do you decide who gets “screen time” and balance their development and stories so seamlessly? Thank you so much and have a great day!

Thank you for reading!

Tbh we’re really amused by these questions since we didn’t purposely make a big, big cast in the beginning of Les Normaux; it was less of a stumble into it and more of a plummet and we kinda lost control along the way lol

Everything stems from Sebastien and Elia then out to their two friend groups and we’ve given each of them a goal and problems that can possibly get in the way of said goals. Then that goes to thinking: who can interact with what goal/problems? who has similar goals/problems? 

We don’t know about “seamlessness” since we do get the occasional comments of confusion about plot/characters, and we’re still learning how to curb those problems through trial and error and adapting as we write future episodes.

On that note, packaging the stories within small episodes at a time helps a little with organization so we’re not dragging things out toooooo long (besides when we’re not updating) as each episode is a story within itself, linking to the big overall “story” of Les Normaux; “story” is used lightly here since we’re definitely not telling a story in a traditional sense as it’s more like little snippets of everyone’s lives as our comic is a romantic slice-of-life story.

But, in the end, everything still links back to Sebastien, who we followed from the beginning and met everyone along the way; having that central person gives the story an overall sense of purpose and path to lead the cast through their stories.

That being said, we wouldn’t recommend a big cast lol

ps: pierre is the most important character though. obviously.

eggsaucedead replied to your post “OH also one of my favorite conclave stories is how when the college...”

So they just sit and stare at each other in a circle????? This sounds like some kind of weird version of duck duck goose what even is conclave I thought it was supposed to be serious

the first thing you learn when studying renpol is that it is not, in any way shape or form, dignified
