hi, sorry if this is a personal question, but who are those three (cartoonish?) characters that or on a few of your stream ? i don't know how to better articulate this but is there any story to A.C., Prirp and Yurf?

A.C. is the shorthand for The Animal Crossing Character, based on a really funny etsy listing by someone who knitted a plush of their original unnamed character based on Animal Crossing - which they admit to not being familiar with. I bought the plush and surprised my partner with it on stream.

Prirp was an adoptable character sold to me by @dukeofash . He designed a number of unique shark characters that buyers were free to use in their stuff.

Yurf is a character I created originally as a joke for The Bat Is In A Sack who went on to be a recurring gag in my YTPs.

The art of these three that you see on-stream was made by Duke. As far as like, Lore or Canon or whatever there isn't much to say about any of 'em, they're just all varying degrees of Mine so they mean something to me.

Orby is also part of the stream overlay but they're something of an outlier. Orby was designed by my friend Qwerty and ownership was transferred over to me. There is lore for them but it runs deeper than even I'm familiar with.

What are the origins of Yurf? I keep seeing them pop up in your ytps. I think they're v silly but I wanna know where they came from

Yurf first appeared in The Bat Is in a Sack - Upon hearing the phrase "And even your friends" from the source video, I thought it'd be funny to cut it off early and create a nonsense word in the process "And even yurf--". I had done this kind of joke before (for example, "The toaster pastry doughf" from WIM 3) but this time I wanted a visual to go with it. So I imagined what the word Yurf could mean, and my first thought was that it could be the name of a gnome or something.

I didn't want Yurf to be a gnome necessarily, just to vaguely give the vibe of one. To that end I added some elements to make Yurf distinct - namely the double-pointed hat, mittens, lack-of visible nose, and the lipstick.

After I had found excuses to throw Yurf jokes into other videos like Guns & Ropeses and Thing of Da Hill it became apparent that this character would be a recurring bit - so I commissioned my pal @dukeofash to bring the design to life further, and as usual he nailed it! You can see in the attached image the alternate design I sometimes use which takes heavy inspiration from Duke's version.

Yurf is kinda everything-ambiguous and I prefer it that way. Yurf is a stand-in for any time a sentence is said about an object or concept, but would be made funnier if it were about a silly lil' blorbo instead. There isn't much to know about what Yurf is "like" or "about" - just that they're happy to be included!

I think it's funny and awesome that my intention was to create a character that looked unique enough that nobody would mistake it for being a reference to anything else - but in doing so I instead created a character that everyone initially thinks is some outside reference they can't quite place.
