Hey! I want to say that I love you art. I discovered about RH recently and I'm already a fan so it's nice to see such a talented person who is also pretty passionate with this series. I have a question, have you played any game from WarioWare series? If so, do you have any headcanons of relationship the rappers and djs from RH with the rappers and djs from WW? (such as 9-Volt, 18-Volt and 13-Amp)
aaaa thank you so much! It always makes me happy to hear when others enjoy my art of this niche series!<3
I’ve actually played very little Warioware myself; just a smidgen of Smooth Moves and mostly watching footage from Game & Wario and WW Gold. I do still have a decent amount of headcanons that relate RH to WW since they’re all but confirmed to be in the same setting!
I imagine that Diamond City and Rhythm World (combo Earth World + Heaven World aka Rhythm Heaven) are sort of sibling cities; one is more of a general industry metropolis while the other is more about the music industry since it’s a natural source of Rhythm and Flow. In recent times, however, Diamond City has been trying to get more into the music industry itself with the addition of more music clubs and shows like Ear Candy. In DJ Story, “Diamond City Records” will be brought up as a major plot point.
As for character relations, while I think most characters have only really met in passing, I feel like 9-Volt, 18-Volt, and 13-Amp are all very big fans of all of the rappers in Rhythm World! The younger generation is a lot more into and accepting of these relatively new music genres and are all very influenced and inspired by them. 9-Volt’s a fan of DJ Yellow’s original turntablism sets (one time he spent all day trying to copy DJ Yellow’s Scratch-O on his mixing console; 5-Volt thought it was the cutest thing ever), and, if it wasn’t obvious from all the “Yo!”s they do in their game set, 18-Volt and 13-Amp are both very inspired by the Rap Men and Rap Women respectively! 13-Amp especially aspires to be like the Rap Women one day, as well as MC Adore whose style she absolutely loves.
On a completely unrelated note, 13-Amp’s rapper dragon mascot character is super cute A+ drigdrag
