How would Lumi interact with Wander from wander over yonder?

They would be the best of friends.

How did you first come up with Lumi personality and his design? It’s all so precious!

I came up with Lumi’s design when I was in middle school! Their design was inspired by Jirachi, the Prince from Katamari and Kirby, and their personality was inspired by Kirby, as well!

The first picture is their very first design, the second is the design that lasted the longest until their most recent redesign in 2022, I believe!

what stories do you have? I have seen you mention some of your characters names in the past, but I haven't seen the stories and I am curious

!! HI!!! Thanks for asking about my OCs!!! I have a number of stories, let me talk about the ones I mention most:

Of Crowns and Songs: (Or the mermaid story. Link to chapter 1.) It's about princess Ayden meeting a curiously shy and anxious mermaid living alone in a lake hidden in the forest behind her family's castle, how in her journey to help Nerissa overcome all the things that hold her back trapped where she doesn't belong (much to her sister's worry), Ayden realizes she's compromised part of her own identity (heir to the throne) to get recognition of another one (being a girl, yes she's trans). In the story Ayden fights against her own insecurities and the prejudices of her noble court to build up the courage to demand what was always rightfully hers to remain so. Meanwhile, Nerissa learns to balance the setting of her own boundaries with accepting the help the ones who love her want to give her, allowing herself to actually recover from her trauma instead of punishing herself for what happened to her.

Heart of a Warrior: Andrés and Clarisa's story (link to the one-shot where I created them)! This one is about pride, duty and love. Clarisa has goals, ones that do not align with what society expects of her. Through the story she struggles with balancing who she wants to be with what she has the responsibility to be, learning not to disdain that which is known for the glory of the foreign. For that, her greatest help and obstacle at the same time is Andrés, the general whose squadron she's sent to the first time she tries to participate in the fight against the monsters that invade her country. He's friend, teacher and guide, but also forces her to face part of herself she does not enjoy thinking about and eventually he's the one who takes her opportunity away from her hands when things go wrong. After their time apart, their reunion is not the happiest, but it restarts something that Clarisa had almost given for lost, giving her a second chance at making herself who she wants to be, even if there's new bumps along the way.

The unnamed Magic & Royals story: This one is Armando, Patricia, Carmine and Horace. So basically a king and his fiancée get attacked while on the way back from visiting a foreign country, meet a demon (literal) and a gargoyle, team up to return home without getting killed for politics. The demon and gargoyle are not altruistic, though, they're taking part on a supernatural treasure hunt for a powerful magical artifact that and their clues suggest that one of the keys is at Armando's kingdom. Having a king on their side when they search for it sounds like a good deal, so they make a pact. Of course, things aren't exactly simple along the way and the artifact is more than Carmine and Horace had first thought. (Somehow, despite the plot, what I focus most when I talk about them is the demi4aro relationship between Armando and Patricia and that's why I don't have any link to their story yet.)

The unnamed urban fantasy one: The story of Pamela, Danny and co. This one is a mostly slice of life story of a phoenix and a werewolf who moved to a normal university outside the territory of the supernatural community they grew up at. They struggle with finding their own places in the outside world, making lasting connection outside their community (both with humans and other supernaturals) and university itself. (I was supposed to write more about Dan, but Pamela always steals the show. The link to their origin story may explain why.)

Okay, so that's a lot, so I won't talk about the other stories I don't have developed as much as these, but there are many. Most are in my My OCs tag which also has trivia about them from answering ask memes or reblogging tag your oc posts. I also have a writing tag, but it has more OCs then the ones I mention in my tags (and also really bad fic).

Woa! That was long! Sorry for the rambling, thanks a lot for the ask! It made me really happy to receive it! *bunny hugs if you want them*

6, 26 and 28 for the soft ask

6. say three nice things about yourself (three physical and three non-physical).

I like my freckles, my face shape and the color of my hair (dark reddish brown). I like how I organized my bedroom to match my changing tastes, my skill at finding great webcomics to read, and how much I love on and take care of my cat :3

26. what movie would you want to live in?

Anywhere cozy: with good friends, warm/cozy homes and delicious food. Basically wherever people live in a soft, happy ending Ghibli movie.

28. hugs or hand-holding?

I definitely prefer hugs -- nothing like a good hug from a loved one after a difficult day. My Dad and Sibling came for a surprise drop in visit the same day I started my new day job, and it was so nice to be greeted by people who love me and wish the best for me, esp after such a hard day. I don't mind hand-holding, just felt more utilitarian for me (ie. Dragging a friend into the theater before the movie starts hehe). I'd only hold hands with someone I super-duper trust.

which oc of yours has your favorite design?

It’s a tie between Lumi and Siona!

How do you come up with so many beautiful outfits for Sophie, Tony and your other characters? You give them all such fabulous outfits and it wows me every time you make a new one.

Thank you, "fabulous" is such a strong compliment ^^ it's very nice of you Gem, and very sweet.

As for your question (that may be rhetorical but I'm still going to rant) Idk, references I guess? In all honesty I don't often design outfits from scratch (the two examples that came solely from my mind palace and are most notable to me personally are the Poke-Trainer Uni-Set and the Glamrock Sophie dress, i think these turned out really nice). There are times when I browse online markets and stumble across something that makes the brain go sparky-sparky and I have to put a character in it (that last colored Sophie wears an extreme crop top that I found on AliExpress, i just changed the colors). AliExpress is great when you're looking for outfit refs btw, it has some cool out of the box fun stuff. Sometimes one outfit takes me like 3-7 references at once to come up with as i Frankenstein elements i like together like a mad scientist. Sometimes there's just one thing that catches my eye and absolutely rams me with inspiration. The PokeSoph jacket i love so much is based on the colors of the Pokémon Bruxish, because it looks absolutely bonkers and I hated the yellow on that Pokémon, it was extremely vomitlike and garish, and I had to rescue this lovely color palette with a proper warm yellow that wouldn't make my eyes bleed.

Generally, I just like putting people in outfits that accentuate their character, I guess? It's a fun thing to do for me, i enjoy it a lot. And references, references are friends.

Has Bitterbat ever “kidnapped” Sweetheart in the middle of one their super hero fights in order to get some alone time with her?

It's one of his fave things to do on the job

[rockybloo]

Do Sweetheart and Bitterbat wear any makeup when doing hero and villain work? And if yes, do either of them have trouble maintaining any of it?

The Beloveds automatically wear lipgloss when they transform but that's about it so it's easy to maintain bc I mean..it's lip gloss plus it's magical so they can take quite a rough up and it never smears

Bitterbat wears lipstick and eye shadow. It's also magical ...or rather it's embedded with magic so it also doesn't come off so easy.

His lipstick def leaves a mark but that's on purpose to mark up Sweetheart
