I keep hearing people say that they're afraid of putting their OCs in Tomodachi Life because "What if they act out of character" but let me show you something

This OC put this very canon outfit together himself and I couldn't be more proud

Hey maybe check out my new webcomic?

It's a goofy slice-of-life comic that's a side-story of Minding Q's, and it follows these two goofballs: Faith and Lex. (I currently don't have an update schedule, but I'm hoping to settle into a routine where I update it every two weeks!)

Feel free to take a look at it! (And if it's not your thing, maybe share with a friend? I appreciate the support!)

Pastel and Punk

When Faith Patterson leaves the backroom at work to deal with yet another customer that won't stop hitting the "ring for service" bell, she

Please excuse the formatting of the first episode; I will be using the scrolling format in future episodes!

I will also likely be uploading episodes to Tapas at some point, for those that don't use Webtoon. I'm just trying to use any and all audience reach that I have available to me 😭

Forgot to post this! I just felt like doodling Faith and Lex, and I like how their designs turned out.

Out of Context Line (Tag Game)

Thank you for the tag, @abalonetea! (This post)

This is perfect because I love sharing out of context lines! I was working on Minding Q's yesterday, so here's my last line:

“I’m gonna take a nap,” Sterling decided, pulling off his coat so he could use it as a blanket. “Wake me up when it’s time for pancakes.”

Gonna gently tag... @athenswrites, @autumnalwalker, @worldsfromhoney, @my-cursed-prince, and open tag for anyone else that wants to play!

Sibling characters my beloved

Half the time Lex just closes her eyes to mess with Max, but this doodle takes place when Lex is fresh out of high school and is testing her newfound power as an "adult."

(Don't mind Max's pronunciation; he canonically has a hard time with the B handshape because his pinkie sticks out when his thumb is folded in.)

Notice Me, Reader! (Tag Game)

Thank you for the tag (in this post), @ahordeofwasps! It's fun to see that this one has been going around a bit!

Rules: Share 3 (or more!) small details from your WIP that you feel have gone/will go unnoticed. (You can choose whether or not to share why the detail is significant!)

I feel like sharing some random details from Minding Q's! Here's a few:

It's mentioned that Sterling is allergic to latex, as well as kiwis. This is actually correlated, and so is his unmentioned allergy to bananas and avocados. (The thing that is a coincidence is that Max also happens to be allergic to kiwis.)

In chapter 7, the video game that Max is playing is actually Splatoon. (He gets jumped during Tower Control and keeps missing his shots thanks to controller drift, hence why he yells at the TV.)

Josh has a Tumblr account, as revealed during his intro sequence in chapter 13, when Celain tells him she likes his shoelaces and he tells her that he stole them from the president.

In a similar vein, the webcomic that Celain and Josh mention reading in chapter 13 is a real webcomic (and I spent way too long deciding which webcomic I thought would tie together their fairly different personalities).

I'm going to no-pressure tag @my-cursed-prince, @charlies-storybook, @veneritia, @maddstermind, @bisexualfantasyfox, @faeriecinna, @innocentlymacabre, and @basalamander-corner! Also leaving an open tag for anyone that wants to play! If you see this, you can consider yourself tagged >:}

What's in Your Bag? (Tag Game!)

I'm starting a new tag game! (It probably already exists somewhere but I couldn’t find it so IT'S MINE NOW MWA HA HA /j) Anyways, does your OC carry a bag? Do they have pockets? Well, then this tag game is for you!

What sort of items (maybe it's just one thing) does your OC always have with them, either in their bag or pockets?

Gently tagging @my-cursed-prince, @athenswrites, @worldsfromhoney, @card-queen, @k-v-briarwood, @harleyacoincidence, @da-na-hae, and I'll leave the tag open for anyone that sees this and wants to play!

Okay okay I'm going to do this with the MCs from Minding Q's because these characters would bring their whole house with them if they could:

Celain doesn't usually have a bag (besides her school backpack), but when she does, it always has: - Chapstick - Pair of earplugs - Granola bar or some other snack - Microfiber cloth to clean her glasses + lens cleaning spray - Phone charger - Umbrella - Hygiene products

Sterling literally always has a backpack with him, either his big bag for school or a smaller one for errands and stuff, and inside of it he always carries: - Box of adhesive bandages (the fabric ones) - Several pairs of earplugs - Pack of disinfectant wipes - Notepad and pen (for when inspiration strikes) - Fidget cube - Mini flashlight - Cloth face mask - Travel sewing kit

(I'm also going to include the two almost-main-characters because they're probably a better example for this haha)

Katelyn will bring a small purse with her, and inside she always carries: - Tylenol and Ibuprofen (in case anyone is allergic to either) - Lipstick (or lip gloss, depending on the day) - Small stick of deodorant (she gets self-conscious)

Max never carries a bag outside of school, but in his pockets he always has: - His hearing aid box (and the charging cord) - Folding pocket comb - Notepad and pencil (for certain situations)

Anyways, yeah! Go wild, y'all! Hopefully this one will be fun. :}

So that one Two Truths and a Lie post...

The lie is the third one! Celain's favorite animal is actually a sea turtle, but...

In case anyone was wondering why the last option on the poll was so specific... there was a reason haha
