#Overwatch characters just feel harder for me to draw lmao

Butterfly Soup Asks, batch 10

More under the cut, including Diya dog questions, Akarsha’s hair length, and more!

She loves them all, this changes depending on her mood. One of her favorites is Samoyeds (the breed she uses as her chat avatar) because they’re large and fluffy.

Yes! Many more

It’s surprisingly long -- it goes down about halfway between her shoulders and elbow. It looks like less than it really is in buns because she has pretty fine hair compared to other characters like Diya.

Despite not being as book smart as Noelle or Akarsha, Diya is enrolled in all honors classes and has to try extra hard to keep up sometimes. So both times we see Diya wake up in the game, she’s fallen asleep studying. 

If it makes people feel better, it’s pretty rare that Diya has to do this! She does sleep in her bed most of the time. 

I’m alright with it. If it makes people happy and it doesn’t hurt anyone, it’s cool 

Min is only attracted to girls, so that makes her a nonbinary lesbian.

Diya self-identifies as lesbian, but she’s only ever been in love with Min, who’s actually nonbinary. I’m not sure how to label her (maybe pan?) -- It’s hard to say with a sample size of literally 1

The rest I’d like to keep a secret for now, sorry! I don’t want to spoil the entire sequel before I’ve even made it

This’ll be touched on a bit in the sequel! 

Ooh I love that...I have an idea of what everyone sounds like in my head, but I don’t have any actual voice refs! 

I actually feel like I haven’t seen enough movies to give the best answer to this??!?? Classic Gamer problems... 

Diya: Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone/some dog movie 

Min: Fight Club

Noelle: probably a particularly educational documentary

Akarsha: an anime movie I bet

Akarsha: Shortstop. This position has to field many balls, which gives Akarsha many opportunities to mess up and invent new excuses. Noelle: Right fielder. Chryssa and Liz put her there in hopes that since most people are right-handed, few will hit the ball out there -- so if all goes well, her lack of skill is hidden and she’s just standing there doing nothing for most of the game.  

Misc. fun fact: I actually wanted a scene set at Chinese school in the story, but couldn’t figure out how to work it in. That’s a problem for future Brianna...

This is true! .........I, personally, have started tagging them on my blog as ppkm for “Pee Pee Ketchup Man” but I realize this is a lot harder to remember than Noesha or Akano! Please feel free to use whatever makes sense to you!

Yeah! I gain followers on Tumblr pretty consistently, but Twitter popularity has always eluded and mystified me. I’m actually a bit nervous about tweeting normally now that I have more?? We’ll see how this goes 

Almost everything! I used to be addicted to Hearthstone but then transitioned to being addicted to Overwatch (Winston main). My favorite game of 2017 so far is Nier:Automata, I really want to draw fanart of it soon! Also, I love rhythm games and puzzle games! I also like Telltale-style adventure games and narrative-heavy games in general like Ace Attorney, Persona, etc.  I tend not to play games that pander to straight white guys, though. It’s like as soon as they target straight white guys, they shift to the most bland art style and most boring stories in the world. 

For example, I didn’t know what PUBG was and had to google it, and even after looking at the brown/tan colored screenshots, I still can’t muster up even one shred of interest in it. I’m sure their game mechanics are fun, but personally, it totally ruins the deal for me. 

You’re welcome! And OOH I remember being so nervous about applying to the Interactive Media program, best of luck! I actually even failed to meet all the requirements -- I only sent them 2 letters of rec instead of 3 because I’m super shy and was too scared to ask any more teachers LMAO I guess they liked me enough that they let me in anyway 

i love you too! Diya’s hoodie doesn’t exist...yet. I really really want to make it happen...to be continued...

Unfortunately those old ref sheets are all I’ve got! I’m planning on drawing updated ones, and when I do I’ll post em on here and twitter 

you’re welcome, and if you draw fanart please tag me!!!! I’d love to see it! ;~;

Yes!! My mean and insincere daughter...

You’re welcome!!! I love being praised for having the best children...

You’re welcome! And YEAH GREAT MALL the world is so small! 

I’m so glad my game was able to help you out a little bit!! Thank you for the message! 

You’re welcome, I’m so glad you found Diya relatable!! Hope you like the rest of it!

Thank you!! I’ll do my best from now on!
