*sees your (very neat) “Ask Me About My Paradise State Lore” shirt*

hm…

good day! ✨

could you tell me about this “Paradise State”? :D

(if it’s too much feel free to make it reallll short)

Paradise State (work in progress) is my furry soap opera comic project I've been working on since late 2022 (around the same time my soap opera obsession started 😅). Originally it served as a personal dumping ground for various characters and stories that I had previously created and abandoned over the years, but over time has evolved into a sort of serial drama sandbox for me to play around in.

The story itself primarily takes place in Felicity, a fictional 50th state on the east coast of the USA (Hawaii is a separate country in this universe don't worry about it 😁). Within Felicity is Calico City, the major metropolitan area that most of the cast come from, with a thriving nightlife scene and plenty of economic enterprises ruling the the city.

Being a soap opera with an ensemble cast, Paradise State doesn't have a singular main protagonist: characters come in and out of focus based on the importance of whatever storyline they're actively involved in. For example:

One the first story arcs of Paradise State centers around Emmeline Fairchild, a struggling actress returning to the east coast in search of work, trying desperately to move on from her troubled past in Hollywood. She reunites with old friends and family in Calico City, hoping to make a fresh start after all the time she's spent away from home. But in spite of her best efforts, her past seems intent on catching up with her...

Another story arc focuses on Ruthie Campbell, a humble farmhand toiling away on her family's ranch just west of Clover Hills. She doesn't want much from life; just to work hard and maintain her maternal grandfather's legacy. However, an unexpected visit from her long lost father threatens the peaceful life she's worked so hard to build...

And yet another story arc centers Sylvia Carmichael, a rich spoiled brat used to getting everything she wants (with the help of her father's money). Her father threatens to withhold her trust fund unless she shapes up and proves herself a worthy heiress, so she decides to worm her way into another rich man's heart. Little does she know, her newest sugar daddy has some long forgotten ties to her real daddy, and her gold digging schemes fan the flames of a decades old revenge plot...

These are just a tiny fraction of the plots and characters of Paradise State for now. It's a little harder to talk about Paradise State as a whole unit since the stories are meant to be more character driven, but that's just a little peek into my sandbox for now! :3

A lot of Alex's clothes are handmedowns from Ian

Alex owns like three pairs of shoes and they're all sneakers (yes, he even wears sneakers with his school uniform)

Maisie

Maisie is a firm believer that you can never have too many colours in one outfit

A lot of Maisie's jewellery comes from Etsy

Maisie owns multiple pairs of dungarees, in a huge variety of colours and patterns

Converse sneakers are Maisie's favourite, and she spends most of her allowance on updating her collection

Lennie

hair | top | trousers | sneakers

Lennie will usually choose trousers over a skirt or shorts, and her go to style is a wide leg

Pink is Lennie's favourite colour, and she incorporates it into every outfit

Ayo loves thrifting, and that's how he sources most of his clothes

Cargos are Ayo's favourite type of clothing, for both practicality and style reasons

Ayo plays rugby and enjoys sport in general, so a lot of his clothes reflect that sporty vibe

By thee way I am planning on reopening commissions soon! I’m moving out in a couple months so I need to start saving up for the cost of that plus the deposit and all that fun stuff. So keep an eye out ;)

Question for my Naruto mutuals/followers/whoever sees this:

How does Naruto address Shizune? Does he ever address her by name/title/nickname/anything?? I've gone through what I believe are their main interactions in the series, and the only time I've found that he's directly spoken to her, it was "Oi." (XDD)
