Got any more ocs that are tied to cool concepts? 😍

Remember the two Skele-Bros from the Gates of Hell in that one plot point kubo dropped and only started to expand on recently?

These lads.

In AEIWAM, they both have extensive, badass and HEAVILY guarded True Names but in daily conversation the one on the left goes by Franklin (Not Frankie) and the one on the right goes by Louie (Not Lewis) and they are jolly fellows who constantly tell terrible bone/skeleton/death/hell puns. It's like having this guy but ridiculously tall and in stereo:

They get to meet and ADORE Ukitake, promising to "fix you up with a good supervising officer for whenever you get here"

Alternate Universe / Dealer's Choice

I could NOT pass up the opportunity to preach 1920's Gortash to the masses. He's a bootlegger kingpin using his illegal booze money to fund his campaign for mayor.

I did it!

My youngest had her school's Winter Concert this evening. A friend lent me a wheelchair, so I was able to go. This was the first school event I have ever been able to go to since moving here in 2020.

My daughter plays the trumpet in both jazz band and concert band. She was amazing as was everyone in both bands. The steel drum band was also exceptional.

I'm in a lot of agony now and will be for the next few days, but it was worth it
