Made a OC from one of those number challenges a few years ago (last pic), I named her Belle I kept seeing her get reposted on Pinterest and even saw someone use her for their lil wattpad story 💀 but I was like... what if she had a partner?? So yeah

I drew a mock screenshot... I have to make it look old. I have a scene of Tam and Kujo going through the goods of traders who came from far away, and they had a special shell from the sea that has the sounds of the waves in it (wink wink). I chose to draw it.

About Kujo's tooth, it has to do with worldbuilding- He has 2 more teeth to change. In the wider culture of this world, you are an 'adult' when you change all your baby teeth, which is usually completed by 13. It just happens to be the right age for someone to be considered responsible enough and starting to grow some maturity. Kujo can't wait to be a full grown man and be as strong as Junar, so losing that tooth is a huge moment for him :P He looks silly for that time but he's super proud of it and showing off the tooth gap to everyone. (Same with Tam. But he changes his teeth first.)

Here are some planning sketches. scanned then fixed up and coloured on CSP.

the other thing abt tim&tam that fascinates me is like... she met him when he was at rock fucking bottom and clawing his way back up. and it's partly by virtue of how comics often are written but their romance reads a little rushed to me - she kisses him for saving her life, and that's that. she's into him now. she sees him and she realizes he's sad, he's hurting, he's a little freak, but how well does she actually know him? she trusts him with her life because he's saved it before, but does she know that he used to go to baseball games with his dad, or that he goes to car shows for a good time, or that he's struggled with the vigilante-civilian stuff for years? what does he know about her? (hell, what do we the reader get to know about her that's not related to tim or her dad?? not even her college major???)

and i know it being a romance that just ... happens + tam getting kinda shafted as "The Girl™" is kind of part and parcel of the comic book medium, that the romances are often rushed bc the focus is on the action and plot, but. i think leaning into that in this case as an in-universe phenomenon is fun. because tam idealizes tim for being her hero when she was in mortal danger, and because tim's never had a civilian friend be in the know before, and he's reveling in that novelty, because he doesn't have to lie to her... until he does anyway, because old habits are hard to break, and he still has that same mental dichotomy of "person he can respect/trust enough to work with as equals, versus person he needs to protect and therefore keep out of the loop" (see also: how he and frankly all the bats treated steph in the past).

and i think that actually makes their breakup so compelling. she was willing to look past all his flaws or just see them as exciting because he's a hero and he saved her and she's his confidante. he is in the fucking pits mental health wise and he has Not worked on figuring out how to deal with his worst habits. he's entrenched in the vigilante business and he's jumping from pitfall to pitfall. tim doesn't even think he did something wrong - he thinks keeping that lucius was alive from her was necessary even if it cost him her friendship. like, it sucks and he wishes it didn't have to be that way, but he doesn't think it was a mistake or the wrong choice. of course they fall apart. it's inevitable. if it hadn't been over faking her dad's death and not telling her it was fake, it would've been something.

anyways i just think them both having a slow burn from awkward exes/ex-friends into real actual friendship for the first time would be so good. like both of them actually getting to know each other in ways they didn't before. like, tim has to do enough character growth to get out of his mental health pit and work enough on his identity issues etc. to understand that he didn't have to shut her out. that will take him a hot minute. and i think tam realizing how little she actually knew him outside of being a hero is also just sooo juicy.

so it should take time. but after they get to the point of being able to have actual conversations again, i wanna see tim talking to her about things other than business. and tam actually getting to tell him about her interests. gimme them growing to care about each other for who they both are as people, not just because circumstances brought them together and then kept them there because she knew too much for tim to walk away.

Sophie: I can’t believe you live nearby, and you won’t let anyone crash at your place.

Tam: You people already know too much about me.

Keefe: I know exactly three facts about you, and one of them is that you won’t let any of us crash at your place.
