me, uploading this chapter for ff.n: "welp there's no good place to break this in half, might as well make it one extralong chapter."

me, getting through all this art for ao3: "augh. blaugh. all i've done for the past week is art related to this fic, work, and sleep. it's too long—" [looks over at upcoming chapters that are also Too Long] "dammit"

under the cut we have bonus doodles from this ordeal.

even though Vanilla Spider never shows up, i did design them first before figuring out r-spider. they look like a cross between a monster high and a novi star, i like them a lot

enjoy these out-of-context punks and rockmans and kaitamoms that i bashed out in one day today, prolly i will return to castle ao3 and poast the context tomorrow night after work.

also bonus kaitamom design scribble under the cut!

me writing asuna ten years ago: “this is a Sensible and Protective Mom, to act as a ~deconstruction~ of haruka’s Quirky and Free-Range Mom.  she has gardening as a character trait because that sounds like a thing moms do.”

me writing asuna now, with this character design: “actually asuna was and is a Rad Mom, she’s just overprotective of kaita because she doesn’t want him doing anything crazy, such as catching wind of what she and turboman used to do on the rally circuit and getting murked following in her footsteps. (she is not nearly as good at watching the bullshit as she is at being in the center of the bullshit.)  she chose to retire and have a kid on her own terms, once she was good and ready, and now channels her competitive energy into winning gardening society awards.  Moms Rock.”

and that’s what we call Growth of the Author.
