So what was the main inspiration behind TPiaG? I don't remember if you've said it before, but I do remember you saying that you wrote it to process your own things. I'm mainly curious as to what inspired the plot, and Ark I suppose.

Beyond the initial single scene written to vent about some stuff in my life, and how influenced the end product was by my experiences with self-loathing and subsequent journey to self-love, TPiaG was mostly inspired by my own projects! I borrow a lot of concepts between my stories and OCs, and TPiaG borrowed a lot. The plot is largely original, but the characters are inspired by a whole host of my OCs.

In particular, Twig was based on an early version of the main character of my Hyper Light Drifter-turned original story, The Wisewalk. The modern day MC of the project, the Walker (the character drawn in purple or with a big hat below), is very stern and angry now, but she was once an over-eager people-pleasing anxiety factory like Twig is!

Twig also borrows a bit from Imogen, the main character of my project Starchild, but to a significantly lesser degree than the Walker. She’s very similar to Imogen in how she behaves when confronting her abuser, at least in earlier drafts!

As for Ark, his characterization pre-memory-restoration is based on how I think a lot of my classmates perceived me when I was a teen— I spoke in weirdly formal + archaic ways, and was very quiet when I wasn’t answering questions about the materials in our English or Math classes. After his memories come back, he’s very influenced by my Among Us imposter OC, Soot— he’s very bitter about the fact that he ends up caring deeply about a human who keeps sabotaging his efforts to fulfill his job of killing off everyone on the spaceship he boarded, but she’s just so impossible not to worry about.

Ark’s brand of intimidating formality when he’s trying to threaten someone is very similar to a character named Kieran from another project of mine called The Name-Oath. Kieran is a fairy prince who ends up dating a mortal woman, who later divorces him in a spectacularly humiliating way. Ark doesn’t quite share Kieran’s desperation in his efforts to get back together with his mortal love interest, and would be very resigned to any papers Twig hypothetically served him with, but there’s still a little bit of Kieran in there!

Ark’s anger is also similar to Cocoa, a character who is the embodiment of the MC of Clover and Company’s self-loathing. He hates himself and everyone around him. Cocoa and pre-redemption Darkrai wouldn’t get along, but they’d be compared to each other all the time— and they’d be very bitter about that.

[oncillaphoenix]

concept that just tackled me out of nowhere and is now chewing on my brain: BW protag who disappeared bc they got sent off to be a PMD protag

[dweeborea]

I recently decided to revive my old PMD OCs as Full Fledged OCs...So of course designs had to go with that!!

Here's my Explorer's duo's new designs!!

I've noticed the way I interact with media I enjoy is really different from most fandom stuff I see. Usually people seem to focus on the characters, and will even put them in completely new situations. Meanwhile I tend to focus more like. power systems, and other rules/aspects of the setting/story, often disregarding the characters entirely.

For example I just checked through the Trauma Center tag and it's mostly fanart of the characters with shockingly little surgery besides brief gifs of gameplay footage. Meanwhile I'm over here making bioweapon OCs and detailing how to surgically extract them.

I think atp it's fair to say my pokemon hyperfixation's come back but the thing is I don't give a shit about any of the human characters or the story. My pokemon hyperfixations have always taken the form of memorizing pokedex entries and making up narratives in my head.

i need to work on the pmd side of nightshades story more. his ranger adventure is so thoroughly documented in my mind and i havent posted about it at all. his lucario partner doesnt even have a name yet....

Some PMD OCs I've been sitting on for a very long time. :D Originally they were meant to be a part of like a post-apoc PMD story but I'll probably just make them more normie PMD OCs.

The Sigilyph is named Ahul, he's aloof and doesn't trust easily. Figure he comes from a hard life, fighting to survive, always hungry, etc. and that's why he's so standoffish. He mostly keeps to himself until he stumbles upon an orphaned baby Riolu who he reluctantly takes in and raises as his daughter. :3 He names her Ata after his sister.
