Sometimes I pick stuff that seems to fit them, sometimes things just jump out at me. For Simon and Lucy, alot of it's the usual Beetlejuice, Dracula Dead and Loving It, Nightmare Before Christmas, Addams Family, funny creepy family friendly sort of thing. I wanted to make a contrast between them and their more humany interested Nephew and half sister. Take more advantage of the monstery aspects of them. Lucy's more the rebellious party animal and Nightmare enthusiast, while Simon has more of his mom's sea and sailor thing going on, but with kind of a piratey creepy sea animals and weapons sort of bent to give it a monstery twist. Popeye came because Ericka's very Popeye inspired, Simon kinda also has that nautical bent, it's just the kind of cartoon Genndy likes, and Simon's story definitely works with it since it's a human who can stand up for himself and the little guy, but he's got a good heart and actually not a bad head on his shoulders and counteracts the big bulky bully Bluto. So it's kind of giving him a positive role model. (Not to mention he looks like Swee' Pea as a baby.) They're also both Sony inspired, so that along with the kids horror is where Goosebumps came from. However, Simon's Kung Fu Panda love comes from him being the big sweet guy and kinda different from the others, learning to believe in himself and use his differences to his advantage. Sometimes I'll just latch onto something, either because it seems fitting (Lily and Meg's love of Matilda, for example, or Lucy and Simon having a similar dynamic to Barley and Ian from Onward) or I'm in a rewatch loop while thinking about the characters (Van Dracula twins and Blues Clues, for some reason. Weirdly works with Dennis' love of Cakie, though.)

With Lucy, there's more...I wanted to make her more like Johnny and Ericka, but she has a love of monstrosity even though she's very different from her dad. She's brave, she's wild and chaotic. Loves having fun more than anything. Making mischief. All the things that could drive Drac up the wall, but they both have that Addams-esque love of monstery stuff and Lucy knows she can charm pretty much anybody. She's powerful and she knows it. So alot of her interests kinda come out of those things. Especially the gothic Addams-esque things and the wild and adventurous mischievious chaos gremlin.

What made you pick the hobbies/interests of your OC? How much do these factor into their story or their normal life?
