So what's up with Cecil? Is this the webcomic with the witches?

Yup, that’s precisely right! Cecil belongs to the Sugarcane story, and will be a major character as the recent parental figure of Emily.

Wish me luck in eventually starting that webcomic sometime !

Pls save the CipherHunt/Confusion Hill stuff, your faithful reporting on that whole thing brought happiness to many people and inspired me to make the trip myself.

absolutely! this will take a while (I’m not entirely sure how I’ll reformat all the questions and suggestions I got over that second week, for instance. I’ll have to experiment with Wordpress a bit first) but I’ll make it my goal to get it all archived over on Wordpress by the end of the year or so.

thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you made that trip💕

What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)? What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story? If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?

Questions About Creating Your OCsWhat was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?

well-- when i was a kid i had an IZ OC that was just a self-insert, and i wanted to revamp that, originally. so i was tossing around the idea of a human or irken character, but i felt like that was done to death, and the other races in IZ had too little lore for me to expand on without just... inventing my own race. which wasn’t a horrible idea, but as i was watching an episode of the show, i realized that these conversations between zim and his computer always had me laughing.

from that point i knew i wanted an AI character, and an extremely efficient but uncooperative one, whether overtly or covertly. things kinda started falling into place from there.

What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story?

hummm. to be honest, there isn’t much that HER and i have in common aside from surface-level stuff (i, also, love donuts). i do, however, relate to her naturally independent and/or perfectionistic tendencies.

If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?

the ‘you’ in this is kind of nebulous... i guess it’s referring to me, while writing her? and not ‘you’ as in the reader who is interacting with her?

but i have a high level of empathy and social grace (such is the life of anxiety), so sometimes i have to take a step back and really remember that this is a situation that HER is facing without the mercy of any established standards or expectations. she truly has no compass by which to gauge her emotions, or how rational (and irrational) they are, much less others’ feelings and thoughts. she does her best, but she’s still learning, and her best is often not quite on target.

tying in to that, i have to remember that she often doesn’t have the vocabulary to define her feelings, so when she’s trying to express herself she can get easily frustrated. now and then i have to really focus on like, the physical symptoms of a certain emotion, and from there think of how it would translate to a robotic/electronic life form, and then i know where she’s at. i mean, all she has is this pressure on her synthetic lungs and an overclocked processor and some kind of interference altering her speaker output-- she doesn’t have the word ‘distraught’, she has these symptoms, and she’s still learning how to navigate & define them.

4th wall who? from Sawyer and Lottie

You two – I knew there was something interesting about your family the moment I saw another RPer I interacted with interacting with Sawyer. I figured we were gonna cross paths sooner or later, and something about you just drew me in. I was worried things were gonna be a little rocky at first because of how Sixer was, but I’m glad that things settled after a bit. I hope that I can get you and Sixer to interact again, Sawyer, because he is concerned about you.

And Lottie…he’s concerned about you, too. Partially because of what Birch pulled with your brother and also because you have him wrapped around your little finger, although I dunno if he’d admit it. XD

When the stars align, I’m sure he’ll swing by and make sure that you’re doing all right. Both of you.

Stay strong, you two. Gravity Falls may be weird, but it protects its own. Even if you’ve been changed and exposed to the very beings that might tear it apart.

🍁 - How do you want to explore your muse further? Is there a wishlist?

ooc;; Well I have gotten to show his darker side thanks to @avoiided , I want to show a romantic side? I’m a shipper, I ship XD Chemistry is always important but he is quick to crush. Despite crushes dying fairly quickly. 

He is poly, he is with @all-seeing-all-knowing-eye , and @bishopinblue , but they also flirt with other people and that is just how it is ^^ 

As for a wishlist, I dunno, I usually go with the flow and try to let the muse go his own way. But yea, I suppose romance would be something I’d like to see but if it doesn’t happen, ayyy it doesn’t matter ^^

((Bill would be Absolutely The Worst as a parent, but you can say this about him: he’d never look down on a kid for being different in some way.))

// This is a really good point. One of the pluses of having Bill as a Dad is that he’s probably not going to shame you for anything about WHO you are. Unless you are really into the rules and/or a rigid class structure, then he’s probably going to be down on that.

But to you, it seemed like a year, hasn’t it? Well lets figure that out! 

it’s actually pretty ridiculous. No wonder you’ve got such a high dimensional invasion rate. Outsiders LOVE it here. An hour could be lived in a century to other beings but to natives like you... well, lets just say most places aren’t an ideal tourist location. Human lifespans are but a fraction of an earth day in most of elsewhere.
