#and they don't really acknowledge each other online

I think reading a few stories from the classmates' perspective would be a really good idea to help set the tone of the story or fill out the AU! I would love to see things from everyone else's perspectives as well.
Which means I should probably write something from Nayeon and Tokgasi's perspectives on how they see Jollin, because I think I have the same problem of just one perspective. Still better than the dark and depressing atmosphere of Lily Bell, though, even despite the attempts at humor.
Also, off the top of my head, I don't remember if you mentioned this, but where do they all stay? If the hedgehog kids are going to a school, and it is acknowledged that they will be funneled straight into conscription, then would they live with families (or whatever small shed/apartment Dalnim is allowed to stay in. You seem to be drawing him ‘clean’ so to speak, so he is able to follow some grooming habits if he isn’t bathing in the school sink? If he wa dirty I think you would show that) or would it make sense for them to start living in dorms/barracks on the school campus after a certain age?
Which is just something I've been thinking about for my own AUs with hedgehogs. With one AU I have them living with families until conscription, but another I'm thinking the kids can live in dorms/barracks after a certain age beforehand. The tone is bleaker in the latter but there's a later reason for that.
And what are they all eating and in what amounts? Although that might be getting too detailed lol.
I think I can remake the drafts if I can find graph paper again. I think half the issue is I think I need to work on layers more, because I think that could help me figure out the basement cellar, main floor, and attic in proportion to each other. Or I could just do it separately. Either way, I have a few dozen house layout schematics saved that i found online for reference.
Also, turns out villas don't have to be exactly proportional anyway. I was worried about the outhouse style bathroom being at the end of a random hallway, but it turns out villas specifically can just be like that, all sprawled out. I just have to make the furrows connect to the kitchen properly. Not sure if I should include the secret passageways and furrows in the schematics, though.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather's passing! I did not really know mine either, sadly enough.
I haven't fully fleshed out the reason the grandfather hasn't brought up Jollin being a scout to Nayeon yet. I'm thinking that no one wants to break her heart (not in the romantic sense) by telling her that the new neighbor squirrel is really an enemy scout, because she gives off a pure air of innocence that is no longer widely found among youngsters her age in Flower Hill, and no one wants to lose that. If she finds out that Jollin is the enemy, she might snap into a more serious mode and start distrusting everyone.
The reason might be more that if she doesn't know, then Jollin might see her as not a threat and let his guard down, and then she tells things to her grandfather. So yeah, the whole, keeping an eye on him thing, but perhaps in a roundabout way.
Especially since Nayeon essentially means 'Cute Bunny' in some Korean slang, but elegant/beautiful destiny in other ideas, and it is really a good descriptor name for her. I think I kind of gave up on trying Hangul for her name, since everything about how dormice are named has French origins anyway (barring Romans thinking of them as a delicacy). Although I worry that 'cute bunny' actually comes from Korean idols named Nayeon that fans claim look like bunnies.
Something I did while I was waiting for class.
I don’t know if she would be a new character of mine. But if she was, she would be working as an archivist or doing something based around culture. Idk. She isn’t a character I would place in OFP since she wouldn’t be a solider. She would have been exempted.
The quality came out a bit wonky
#Or maybe Nayeon is one of those angels to her friends but a horrifying monster to her enemies types#and no one wants to make her angry by revealing that the enemy trying to hurt her countrymen are right next door#I really should have added the Geumsaegi x Juldarami background plots in Lily Bell more#but having something cheery like that seemed disrespectful somehow given the rest of it#so we get a chapter referencing Jojo instead but it is somewhat plot relevant#I can work on something from Nayeon and Tokgasi's perspectives after I manage to finish the 3-4 part story with Jollin#but I need to get that house done especially since another mutual specifically requested it#my mom rearranged the entire apartment#I suspect the house schematics will show up later in the month with a lecture#on what I should really be looking for in a house and how what I made is impractical#in my defense of Lily Bell I genuinely didn't know if I was going to be able to leave the hospital again#long term illness does that to you so things kept getting dark#might draw a weasel taking pictures with the specter of an otter in FH clothes floating next to it#and he's thinking 'how am I getting away with this?'#hyena AU where the photographer is invited to a festival and instructed to make sure to take pictures of the commanders giving a speech#but they take a picture of a pretty flower arrangement much earlier in the day#and its the camera gun#the hyena panics#finds and removes the bullet clip and buries it#and then runs off to pretend nothing happened#the hedgehog waitress saw everything#speaking of languages I'm seriously thinking of giving the ermine nurse the name of Seolhyang#Which is a type of strawberry that is a mix of Korean and Japanese strawberries#So she can have both Flower Hill and Weasel Unit parents which is why the weasel unit assumes she is one of them#but do I want to have her write in hangul when near FH and one of the Japanese systems when near WU?#sorry for the rambling I tend to do that on people's posts#woke up from a dead sleep the other day to see agotia-t had messaged me#like congrats you now get 10+ links and tons of excited questions involving which versions of shamanism they were going with for Hanbam#and which of the three paths#thankfully people here seem to think its actually hilarious and helpful when I do that but wow I need to tone it down I think
