30, 31, and D?

HI HELLO SO UH QUICK EXPLANATION,,, So these asks have been sittin in my inbox for months and I had no idea what they meant, UNTIL NOW!! I just remembered that they are probably from this post so I shall finally answer them!! I will do this set in my Arson Trio, Benny, Dee, and Cory! I’ll add a doodle of them at the end so you know who I’m talking about eheh

OKAY SO first answer got REALLY long so im tossing everything under “read more” 

30 - who do they most regret meeting?

Benny- He would dwell on this for so long but probably come to the conclusion of no one. Every horrible person he had to encounter, deal with, and move around ended up effecting his relationships and life in big ways that he wouldn't take away now that he’s in a stable spot. It would be very easy for them to say “Morris Muller.” right off the bat, like Morris pretty much fucked up his life starting with his father like he’s got generational beef with this guy!! But if he hadn't met (and killed) Morris then he would’ve never gotten answers, probably would have never met Cory, or Dee, or Sebastian.. very hard question he would have no answer for or just stare blankly until the subject was changed. 

Dee- Most likely Riley if I’m being completely honest. Riley & Benny were best friends and the two were inseparable so Dee always knew them as a pair, and of course made her own inter relationship with both. But her and Riley were very close and just... good to each other? Like at the time Dee didn’t really have any healthy friendships, Cory at the time wasn’t the coolest (he gets a character arc its okay now). But either way Riley really made her feel good about herself and her relationships, she loved Riley (platonically !!) so when Riley was found dead it hit hard. Dee was sadly the one to find Rileys body and it really fucked her up, if she could go back and just pretend she didn’t have so much of a close relationship with her, she would. If she had just been Benny’s freind to Dee than maybe this wouldn't be so hard. But it was, and grief sucks, and Dee had a lot of growth during that period of Rileys death. 

Cory- Vela. Hands down Vela, she was the one to rope Cory into this all in the first place. Cory has strong trust in faith and earnestly believes that outside of their crummy circumstances, the friend group would’ve formed. So he’s quite fine with wanting to remove Vela from his life. She was the one to introduce the concept of crime devotion to him, to really introduce him to that life and get him into it all. He hated that point of his life so much and tended to take it out on others, because he was treated as the next damn messiah or something. Vela believed that his presence would help her take over the current head of what I just call the Mafia (even though its really not but LOGISTICS DONT MATTER RN EBVG) Leader, Morris Muller. And then she got herself killed, and Cory became a sub-head of the mab to fill her empty role. He wishes that never happened, and he regrets ever talking to Vela. 

HI WOW THAT GOT LONG LMAO okay im gonna split it at the top there since this is so long geeze i’m so sorry HJHG

31 - who are they most glad to have met?

Benny- DEE <333 He’s so incredibly happy to have met her, she was really the coolest person he could have met (his husband begrudgingly accepts this fact..) Dee was one of the first people Benny had met that actually listened to him, and treated him like his words held weight! They were so thankful for her support and just genuine appreciation for them and their efforts. Dee stuck around with Benny through thick & thin, they both taught each other so many cool things, and are the coolest people alive actually. Just a great duo I love them because they love each other Dee- She would never tell him this, but its definitely Cory. He was the first friend she had made and one that actually ended up being very cool, even if he did get her involved in the mafia. She doesn't quite know where she would be in the world without him, and she doesn't like to contemplate that reality either, all she knows and cares to know is that she has a deep appreciation and gratitude towards her friend and all they’ve been through. Note that Cory ended up leaving the group for about a year, and during that year Dee put so much effort into forgetting him, but when finally the two met again she almost immediately rekindle their friendship, they are very close.  

Cory- Gwen??? He doesn't understand the other two giving their friendship answers, he loves his wife and thats what matters. He is genuinely very much in love with her and extremely happy he somehow met her, she really helps him to be a better person (and do do Dee and Benny but this is about Gwen now!!) and feel more confident. He loves getting her gifts and making her smile and it makes him all the more content with the life he has. She’s very cool even outside of their marriage and he’s also incredibly grateful that she gets along quite well with Benny & Dee

D - Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?

OHH This is a fun one!! Okay so these oc’s have existed in my head for... 6 years. And they only got designs this year BGEV!! I never had much of a though design wise for them, I cant visualize things so it never really proved to be of much importance on how they looked put-together for me? But it took a lot of very bad scribbles to finally get their designs down that vibed enough like them! Drawing wise they have gone through changes, but I think it was primarily me finding my style too? Like they used to be basic cartoon-y circle heads and now they all have their own distinct face shapes & clothing & stuff! Ive also gotten better at drawing humans and traits, like before Dee’s vitiligo wasn’t drawn properly, but after proper research I draw it differently/more accurately. Also small things, like Benny now has acne scarring, Cory has a ripped ear lobe, things like that developed with the story too (Benny’s acne scarring goes back to his carelessness with his appearance and general uncaring when he was younger, Cory’s earlobe rip was actually due to an earring... accident... when he was younger that becomes plot relevant later)

the dummys in question!! L->R Benny, Dee, Cory sadly this is kinda outdated due to Dee & Cory getting better face shapes,, sadly this is my only other piece that showcases that with all three of them in it,, (4th person is Morris, and Dee is actually dressed like Benny for uh. Plot Reasons, and Cory just wears skirts when he wants to)
