hi, first i wanted to say a huge thank you for enjoying my original characters and engaging with edgar! it makes me happy to know people are enjoying them ;v ; a lot of the characters i have, i’ve been working on for years

and to answer the first question, yup! this post particularly while only talking generally in the post itself is definitely also about edgar and co attending bigger pride events: since he comes from a very lgbtq+ friendly place that holds all kinds of pride-related events, he and his friends have been going together for years! they’ve been very open members of the lgbtq+ community for a long time too. the art of ambrose and edgar waving their pride flags is to signify them celebrating pride too!

i’ve also been working on a lot of original characters for this universe, all with a lot of various backstory - edgar has met a lot of people in his journey too. some other characters that are likely to be heavily featured in my universe are:

andre

andre is both a fling partner and a close friend, also a chaotic force of nature who loves dnd-esque types of games and drags their friend seth into their shenanigans a lot of the time. andre and edgar met through edgar’s work, with andre being a frequent customer who was constantly coming back to dye their hair a different color. currently it’s a shade of pink.

if i had to show you one thing that embodies andre and how nerdy they are:

seth

a young man adept at seeing spirits of people who haven’t passed onto the afterlife yet. he often tries to aid them in this. his first boyfriend passed on from an illness, and in a reckless fit seth tried to actively summon his dead boyfriend’s spirit (a terrible idea, never try this) only to fail and become attached to the wrong spirit altogether. seth is the type to rarely smile, often holding a permanent neutral expression and speaking in a drawl. most likely struggles with depression. despite acting exasperated with andre’s upbeat and chaotic attitude he does have a soft spot for them.

kade

edgar doesn’t actually know kade well, as kade doesn’t like to talk much. seth and andre met kade through seth’s then boyfriend. kade also struggles with the same illness seth’s boyfriend had, but is a survivor and carries on for their friend. they have a weaker immune system due to their illness and still have to be careful, but they have long since been in the recovery phase.

arvin

this is ambrose’s (fraternal) twin brother! he’s a methodical type, likes neatness, and seems to easily become anxious in crowded areas. he has hearing aids for both ears, and has needed them since he was relatively young. he likes science and is often seen researching or working on something new. he’s not well known for his expertise though he is very intelligent, but that’s fine with him. he just wants to be in peace to work. like ambrose, he does have demon blood, but his is much stronger then ambrose’s and has left him with abilities such as blending himself into the shadows. shadow demon blood is common in his family - on the flip side, ambrose did not inherit any special abilities. their family is a mix of demons and humans.

bonus: arvin is trying to find ways to help people with chronic illness, as ambrose does struggle with bouts of chronic pain and a stomach condition.
