Any hope for Ruby for 'Goth Girl Summer'?

Oh, there is definitely a good chance of that happening. But no idea what I'd do.

You have made your love of the classic Thundercats series quite obvious. But how do you feel about the 2011 series?

To be honest, I actually really like Thundercats 2011.

2011 was a rough year for me, but I remember that the day this show premiered was a highlight for me that I actively 'fought' to see. And, frankly, there's so much I love about it.

I love the anime aesthetic. I love the reinterpretation of Lion-O. I love the backstory and the explanation of all the animal species. Every episode felt like a new adventure, almost like showing me a new aspect of fantasy I never thought of.

I'll admit, there are some aspects about the show I didn't like; the soap opera like "love triangle" between Lion-O, Tygra, and Cheetara and the resulting bounce back with Pumyra, the latter's eventual betrayal, Tygra in general.

But, overall, I'd still say the show was good and will never forgive Cartoon Network for dropping this show for a literal LEGO knockoff.

I'd probably recommend the 2011 series over the 1985 series; I personally prefer the original series, but not everyone has a taste for that era of animation. Hell, most Thundercat OCs are based off of the 2011 series, so I think it's safe to say which series is more popular these days.

But, I digress.

Coward. You go back into those tags and call them 'Daddies'! >:(

Don't make me take my belt off, you brat. >:P

So, with your last pic: what's a quick & easy way to describe the girls?

Leigh: Smart nerdy girl who is also a freaky.

Madison: Studious & sassy, a bit prissy.

Alicia: Angry muscle tomboy with a soft side.

Gwendolyn: Lazy dreamer.

What are some of the big inspirations for Jango?

That's a fun question! Jango's DNA, much like my art in general, is a amalgamation of a bunch of other (better) artists I've been inspired by over the years. Though, in the grand scheme of things, isn't that most people?

Designwise, my art is built off of Jango as a sort-of lab rat. It's vaguely anime-ish with some design cues from from western animation. That's why Jango is usually drawn with white gloves and why I give my characters detailed eyelids.

Also, the pie-eyes with solid colors.

In terms of personality, I've used to say that Jango is essentially the Joker if he was a heroic character. Which has gotten different reactions since the Joker's personality is wildly different between incarnations.

But the idea is that Jango is a very jolly, cheery, even silly character, but he's not stupid. He's smart, charismatic, tricky. Just that he's a good person who, while not totally selfless, will help people and save the day instead of blowing up hospitals and shipping his tainted blood across Gotham.

...Yeah, writers have been wanting to write Joker more and more like a homicidal monster at worst and a force of chaotic nature at best, so it's no wonder people cock an eyebrow when I describe Jango like that at times, lol.

This made more sense in my younger years when I was RPing Jango with my old friends and Jango often fell into the role of a comic relief. But now that I'm (mostly) flying solo, I feel I've gotten further and further away from that.

Sly Cooper & Arsene Lupin III are probably better ideas of what I'm going for in terms of Jango's personality, Lupin more so. They're both super cool, very slick people who are a perfect mix of Action, Smarts, and Guile, and both are incredibly charismatic flirts.

Lupin is just much more silly. But his silliness doesn't make him any less competent. Lupin bumbles all the time, slips up, has lapses of judgement, and even loses sometimes. But he's still a master thief, incredibly skilled, and, well, a badass. And I think that's the big inspiration that I try to interject when I write Jango nowadays.

So, I guess TL;DR: He's a mix of old cartoons, DCAU Joker, Lupin the Third.

So if Jango's a Badger and Henry's a Bearded Dragon (the fuck is that???) then what are some of your other OCs in this Redwall/DND mashup?

DISCLAIMER: Redwall inspiration, and I steal quite a few tropes of the series, but I'm definitely veering off of the beaten path as I keep going.

That's...a good question.

Jam I can see being a Badger. It'd be fitting, especially since she's Jango's brother. But let's play a bit fast and loose, especially since she's Jango's half-sister; I think her being a Rat would be slightly closer to her character. I like the idea of her building herself up as the toughest creature on the planet: she's not big in size, but in personality. And she can (usually) back up her own talk. As for a class, hmm, Rogue could work fine, Fighter too. Probably one of those two.

Clover, hmm, don't really know about her. I don't think any one race fits her more than any other. Squirrels would be fun, so perhaps that. But she's gotta be a Cleric-which, going off of Redwall, Mouse would definitely fit (but then again, Mice fits for almost anything, lol).

Ace is the hardest one to pin down, and I think it's 'cause I just don't got a lot of organic knowledge under my belt, just the 3 seasons of the TV adaptation and a wiki to crawl through. So, I'll just go with Ace being a Rabbit, maybe a Rabbit Bard.

Also, this is a Bearded Dragon:

Any RWBY Girls that you wanna see more spanking content for (or maybe the next star for a spanking fic)?

((Sorry if you didn't want me to write in character, BUT...))

Jango: Shishishishi! Well, I think you know that I love Penny & Winter, but honestly, I think that Raven is the most spankable RWBY girl. I love older women in general, but Raven is such a major brat. I'd love another story where I get to spank her, BUT, I'm not gonna be the star in the next fic.

Henry: I will, actually. Honestly, the entire cast could use a spanking. But for more RWBY Spanking content, I could go for more Blake. She's not particularly deserving, but her elegant, mature charms are enticing. I think she'll be the star in the next fic, even...

Jango: At least, when Boss gets off his ass and actually get to writing. Shishishishi~
