Fun Fax: OLM Chap 19
lmaooooo i JUST realized that i never posted this after i published chapter 19, probably because i felt it needed updating. seeing as this chapter went up nearly a year ago, i have no further commentary, so please read this as if it were posted right after chap 19 went up lol
initially started this chapter before i had to really get hustling about moving, so i didn’t get to work on it again for like 1.5 months after starting 😭 might have been what i needed tho, cause this chapter came fairly smoothly and was very fun once i got back to it
gotta say, writing characters who ARENT Lee, Kaz, or Jin is actually really refreshing? challenging of course, as ive never tried writing anyone besides those 3 and Lars, but like Jin said, a fun change of pace! i love writing Paul, he was my fave this chapter behind Jin lol
alright i said that i wasnt pulling from any Tekken media besides the main games and Bloodline, but with this chapter i realize i’m KINDA pulling from a bit from the Tekken online webcomic? with Paul remarking how much Jin resembles Kazuya, but in this case, missing the obvious as to why lol. (i swear i saw this in a manga panel from a tekken 3 manga adaption as well? but that was the only panel i saw - if you know what this manga is, please let me know!!)
i drink my respect Paul juice, but i also have to contend with the fact that he’s not the brightest 😭 was scared abt making him too dumb, when i really love how he was handled in Bloodline, so i hope i hit a good balance. his second convo with Jin was KILLING me as i wrote it lol
yes, another line lifted right from the Incredibles with Lee yelling "THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU!!" lol. LOVED having Lee deck Kazuya, they both deserve it! the snippet that encompassed most of that scene was literally called “lee freaking decks him” until this chapter finally got pieced together lol
the Lee and Kazuya fight was originally slated for NEXT chapter, which put quite a wrench in my plans for that one when i realized it needed to be moved...
overall, this arc gave me SO MUCH ISSUE when i was ramping up to write it, individual events just weren’t coming to me clearly. i know where i need to BE and how we’re thinking by the end, but paving the way was difficult. but as im sure you’re all expecting, it’s gonna be a real fun doozy :)
