Will Diamond ever get a mane? 😔or are they gonna be bald

Nope, they're not gonna get a mane. Not that they need one to rock it in their adult form. c: - RJ

Is there any character(who's appeared so far) that you both absolutely hate? I'm not talking design-wise, I mean concept-wise.

My answer is Zircon and, as for reasons why: y'all will have to wait and see, I'm afraid. oof - RJ

IHS Cameos in Other Comics

Oh hey, look who got a cameo in everybody's favourite hyena comic @tofautisawa by the awesome @thecynicalhound:

That's right: our very own Cackler Ma! c: I also thought it was worth mentioning that our Camellia got cameo'd in the comic a while back too and she looked appropriately done with the proceedings most of the time. lol

And while we're here, shoutout to @howlingcrispy for her lesbian defending bison!Obsidian cameo in her epic wolf comic, Crescent Moonlight. c:

Thanks to both of y'all for featuring our characters. We super appreciate it. Sorry for taking a while to make a post featuring these cameos. We'll certainly try and make this a series if more folks wish to ever feature us in their projects. c: - RJ

Of the four in the main cast, what would you say each of their biggest flaw is?

Hopeful has moments where she's unnecessarily hard on herself. Storm can be reckless and puts herself in extreme peril at the drop of a hat. Adamant is extremely competitive and has a bit of a temper. Diamond, in a similar vein to Hopeful, has self-doubts and lacks confidence from time to time. - RJ

I have a theory: Careful will travel with her cubs for a while until she reaches the Thundering Mountains. There, she, Hope, and Adamant will reunite! She might arrive before or after them, but then they'll be able to talk and even meet Jasper's parents. (Even if Hope and the cubs disinherit Jasper as a father, I really hope they can have a good relationship with their grandparents :) )

Jasper's parents are deceased, I'm afraid. As for everything else: interesting theory. c: - RJ

Can we see baby Diamond and/or baby Periwrinkle?

Baby!Diamond:

- As for baby Periwinkle, that'll come when it comes. We don't take art requests, sorry. :c For future reference, new art normally goes up on the Patreon before it becomes public! - RJ

A bit unrelated but I just noticed something: Hopeful has yellow eyes, Storm has purple eyes. Adamant's eyes are orange/amber while Diamond's are blue. In traditional colour theory, yellow complements purple and orange complements blue. I don't know if this was intentional but it's honestly such a good detail!

It was intentional. I’m particularly attached to this colour concept to such a wild degree. Glad you noticed. lol - RJ

Even though Diamond hasn't had a lot of screentime as of now, but, THAT'S MY GOAT!!! I relate to them so much(Am I transmasc? Got me questioning a few things), my comfort character and introduction into disabilities in fiction (you handled that well btw), BRO IS JUST BUILT DIFFERENT. When the time comes and they're integrated into the story more I'll be geeked so much!

Aww thank you, anon. Disabilities in fiction, I'd say especially xenofiction, leaves a lot to be desired. Especially when the the writers treat it as if its less believable to have a quality life than it is having magic medicine lol And I'm rooting for you on whatever journey you choose to go on haha

I also have some good news for you. The chapter following this one is a Diamond chapter c: - Cat
