Psst! just wanted to give a heads up that the arsenic hospital post is gen AI (the creator of the post says they used Grok https://x.com/nedsore/status/1899481917352706374 )
Well shoot. This shows me I don't check my inbox often enough (this ask is from February 1st)
Keep an eye out if you guys see the post circulating around!!!
What was the first crime they commited in your heart to make them as such (what elevated them to blorbo status)?
Oooo
This is a funny one cause I don't really tend to get blorbos from media. There is a lot of facinating characters and ideologies that intrigue me and make me wonder how they work. But never to a point of truly being blorbo like others do? I like playing with them and chewing on them like a toy, but never really... get attached? In a profound way.
Which I fully believe is a me issue and maybe a bit of depression talking XD
I liked Spinel and Lapis a lot from Steven Universe! Spinel for the happy go lucky turned to bitter antagonist, which is always such fascinating development. Lapis because of how angry and resentful she can be but still having such a soft spot and yearnings.
Currently finished "In Stars and Time" (a game) and still figuring out who I like most. Though I might go with Loop, who is a "Star". Sazy nonbinary but has seen some shit. There is a lot of points in the game where you can get them to open up or be nicer and man, does it give such depth.
Oh! Darius from The Owl House! Just his attitude and the plus of him helping out while being in enemy lines? Amazing. (Tixckgckg- I'm noticing a thread of me enjoying characters who can/are mean/sassy but have soft spots and do genuinely care a lot)
Might have more, but i can't remember right now!
My characters, I think, are as close as I get to really have someone with like true blorbo status.
I'll just but my thoughts about them under the Read More. Don't want a super long thing XD
*Points at Dreamscape* I have so many blorbos there you won't believe. (Took me like three tries to write a not super long thing for all of tgem XD)
Main one is my little guy Stin. Who is suchhhh a layered and complex character I like to think.
They technically had "three lives". Though im counting the last two seperate when really it's the same life. Plays with time loops and isolation/alienation and what does mentally. Which is doile fun cause when i first made them I knew they were dead! And I juat attached and further developed them into this layered mess of a person.
That's Stin. And I love them so much. Such a little shit that wants to be the cryptic helper who knows too much.
And then there is Naseem who just is- mwah- chef's kiss.
He is such an explosive person. Both keeping a tight hold of his emotions but also exploding with them when they reach a peak. Likes being a little shit and likes having control over things. But hates being confined and restricted. Very free spirited.
I love that he bites back and gets angry. But also desperately tries not to a lot and wants to be perceived as this cool guy who just has a tad bit of teeth to his bark. It's so fun!
I got more, and some of my other co-writers for Dreamscape characters. But I'll leave it at that!
For Toonkind, currently, it's Lluvia who only has been in one game. But I'm planning stuff with her for Sandy lore game and I'm so excited to run that once I'm done writing game notes!!!
She is just a fun design and really is a sweet kid who is tied up in stuff that she can't get out of. And doesn't even know if she wants out of the situation.
