I was in a gals being pals mood so here are some old sketches of my cute girls who are totally not pining for each other. Oh to be 16 again and have your gay awakening~

Dialogue transcript:

[First image: "I wish I thought I was pretty so that I could turn you on/ I had a dream you called me pretty and I told you you were wrong/ and I look for parts of you in every person that I meet/ because my brain has dissipated and you're where it used to be" lyrics from the song "Want Me" by Baby Queen]

[Images two through four: Ioanna: psst, Lyritsa Dimitra: eh- umm, can I help you? holy molly way too close Ioanna: Is this seat taken? Dimitra: wh- no, I suppose not... Ioanna: Alright then, that settles it if you don't mind. I'm Ioanna Myrou, your new next-seat mate Dimitra: I already know your name Ioanna: Ah Dimitra: I've been marking attendance since last year Ioanna: I see. You just never speak to anyone and I assumed. Dimitra: Ugh, fine, just don't talk during class, I am trying to pay attention. Also don't expect any favours, I won't let you skip class without marking you down- Ioanna: Oh don't worry about that. I'll just make sure to never miss a day. ]

[Fifth image: Dimitra: Holy molly, Ioanna, the Popular girl is talking to me, what does she want? Does she make fun of me to her friends? Ioanna: hehe, Dimitra is so cute, I'll be her friend since she seems lonely. She looks gay, I hope she is, not that I care, I'm not gay, I support them though.] [Sixth image: Dimitra: Wow, Ioanna has shown nothing but kindness to me, I wish I could convey to her how much she's helped me just by hanging out. She's like a ray of hope in my life, she is beautiful. Ioanna: Holy shit I am actually gay]

OC-tober day 6 prompt: symbol

Featuring Rena Star Team (again) (I do not have a bias wdym) in a short animatic ("I am not an animator", I tell myself. "I hate animating" I scream into the void. Yet all my half assed animated projects look at me disapprovingly) showcasing the stuff I associate her with.

Of legacies, sins, desires and herecies. Time can only move forward. The young girl knew that better than anyone. But a Chronidi can only strive to make the impossible, possible. Stubborness runs in the family.

All thr Star Team characters have a lot of care put into their symbolisms. And of course Rena is no exception. For this animatic I have chosen 5 symbols, which can all capture a different period in her life.

First: The Chronidi family insignia

The ruling families in Onero island all have an insignia representing them. Chronidi, being one of the founding families, used to be one. Well most of them are still, however that is no longer the case for the branch Rena comes from. Her grandmother, choosing to marry a commoner, was effectively disowned, yet she still brandished the family insignia. Was it a form of protest? Out of spite? Nobility or not, the expectations for all memberts of the "disgraced" branch were high. Throughout her life, especially in early childhood, Rena had been living in the shadow of the high expectations of her family. In the shadow of the beloved matriarch. The insignia serving as both a sign of pride and a curse.

Second: Roses

Rena loves roses. Everyone knows what a rose is. Everyone likes roses. But roses are no one's favourite flower. If they say it is, it's because they don't know the names of other much prettier flowers. People also tend to forget that roses are not just the blossom, but the bush and the thorns as well. No one likes roses in their totality, just the pretty part. But thorns are as much part of the rose as the blossom is.

Rena understands why roses have thorns. She finds comfort in their sting.

In her pre-teen and early teen years, Rena was able to escape briefly her family's critical gaze through school. "Surrounded by mediocrity even the mediocre can shine as exceptional". "Family's disappointment" when surrounded by talented people "Exceptional talent" when surrounded by mediocrity. Everyone likes roses, but there's nothing special about them. Liked but not genuinely loved. Those who attempt to get stung by thorns. Rena finds comfort in it, but Nora did not.

Third: Deer

There is not much "depth" in this one. I just associate every star team character with an animal. Nora's is a bunny, Maya's is a cat. Rena's is a deer.

Rena's young adulthood was the most stable her life had ever felt. Which says a lot as those 4 years in Toxi were hectic to say the least. Always running, but never truly free. Always pursued by her past.

Fourth: The Sun

The Saint of Fools

The sun rests as a halo behind the Chosen One's head.

"She is like the sun. Brilliant, warm and nurturing, yet also capable of hurt. Sometimes looking at her burnt my eyes"

"But there's nothing significant about the sun compared to the rest of the stars. The only reason it drowns out their light during the morning is its proximity to the earth. There are stars out there that shine brighter than the sun ever will. Much more brilliant. So much more potential. I envy them"

Nora, Rena's first and only friend, is the stars

Fifth: grandfather clock

A presence throughout her life, the physical object existed during her stay at school. A clock without hands, yet its ticking echoing forever. No matter how much she tried slowing it down, it can never be reversed. Time can only move forward. The young girl knew that better than anyone. But a Chronidi can only strive to make the impossible, possible. Stubborness runs in the family.

From bweirdart's OC-tober prompt:

While I am doing this challenge mostly to keep an archive of my characters on tumblr (and to incentivise myself to draw them), if you, person stumbling upon this post, are curious and wanna learn more, my askbox is open >:3c
