What inspired you to start this project?
Well, there's kind of two parts to that...
Part one is my love of horror! I've made jokes before about how you don't join the yan community without being traumatized in some way, and that's very true for me in particular. For me, it's easier to not be scared of the world if you're the one making and controlling the monsters, and especially if all those monsters are deeply and irrevocably infatuated with you. Other people are definitely the scariest part of being alive, for me, so taking these lil guys and making them into something that protects me instead is just... idk, therapeutic I guess.
And the other part is actually Mikey himself! This little bastard has actually been floating around in my head ever since 2021, and stealing my heart ever since. Fun fact - his TupperBox proxy is actually "MC", due to being the very first LI that was created!
He's been that GenderTM, and that insane, ever since the very beginning lmao--- But yeah, in a way you have Mikey to thank for this whole thing! He's been my beloved little blorbo for ages and I'm so happy that others are starting to get to know him and love him just like I do <3
