Hero oh Hero Blog #1
Three Protagonists: As many of my followers probably know, I run a pixelart webcomic by the name “Hero oh Hero” (read here). Just to throw my thoughts into the ether, I’d like to share a few of the writing choices I’ve made throughout the production of my comic & why I decided to make those. Not sure if they’re useful and/or interesting to anyone, but it’s fun for me to reflect. As of the writing of this post I’m at 2757 published pages & 3453 pages total if we include buffer, quite some content! The first thing I’d like to talk about is the general structure of the comic, I run three separate stories that feel relatively disconnected, despite taking place in the same world.
Burk, a heroic character who goes around trying to defeat villains who do evil deeds. As he travels from city to city he meets various friends who join him.
Noah, a bookish introvert who’s favorite hobby is being left alone & avoiding social situations at all costs. He’s also a magic child-soldier being forced to perform missions for a totalitarian government.
Tobi, an adventurous inventor-girl who comes from a world that operates by video-game logic, she gets flung into another world at some point & is trying to find her way back home. Comic Structure So the big question here is: why tell three stories rather than just putting all focus on a single one? I think the biggest underlying reason for me is that a lot of games I played & series I watched had what I’d describe as a “protagonist-centric world”. It’s obvious that the story itself will focus on the protagonist, they have that role for a reason, but it goes much further than a character being important/central to the narrative. In a lot of series I felt that the worldbuilding itself, the magic system, the legends and myths, all of it was often designed to accentuate the protagonists’ importance, or somehow add something to “why” the protagonist in particular was worth following. Very often this’d result in stuff like worlds where, if there were 4-types of magic power a person could have, the protagonist would be the one special person with access to 2, 3 or even 4 of those abilities. I don’t necessarily think this is bad writing in itself, but I did sometimes find, especially in series with interesting side characters/extended casts, that the way the universe seemed to revolve around the hero and their abilities often made the world itself seem less interesting or less real to me. What got me interested in multiple perspectives & multiple protagonists back in the day were games like Seiken Densetsu 3/Secret of Mana 2 where you had 6 main characters of equal importance & you could basically decide for yourself which of the 6 was your playthrough’s “protagonist” & which 2 out of the remaining chars would join you on the team. Similarly games like Treasure of the Rudras played around with multiple different heroes rather than a “true” chosen one hero of more significance than everyone else. I noticed that a lot of these games that either split up the roles, or provided multiple canonical characters who technically could’ve done the job, aleviated a lot of the annoyances I had with singular-protagonist series, but also added the fascinating element of how different narratives/perspectives could intersect and affect each other. Designing the Heroes. So from the early onset I’ve decided that I really wanted to tell a story where rather than just a single central protagonist, I wanted several protagonists of “equal importance”. The next question that follows is: If I’m going to have multiple heroes, what characters am I going to choose? Burk came relatively easy as he’s a character I made up for an old English class story back in highschool, though I did tweak him quite a bit from his original design. What I did want to try and do is contrast the other two characters from him, but not *just* in terms of “This one’s strong, this one’s smart, this one’s ... hot” or something, but also more on their role within the story. This is where I got the idea to try and really try to put a notable difference between the main characters & why they’re even in “their story”. Burk’s a highly active protagonist who goes out of his way to look for adventure, Noah in contrast is absolutely reactive and is thrown into a plot entirely against his will. Tobi is hard to discuss without major spoilers, but I’m thinking that observant readers who are up to date probably know where she falls in this regard. Once I figured out the biggest area of contrast between the three, it was pretty straightforward what setting would best accentuate that aspect of them. Burk & his narrative very closely follow a D&D-type of “let’s find an adventure for the sake of it!” plot, whereas I intentionally threw Noah in a dystopian Empire that has little interest in things such as “personal agency” and “Freedom”.

in lieu of having posted any writing/headcanons/asks in the past few days because i have been *so* busy and unable to do anything fandom-related which is terrible and evil, i have a poll out of morbid curiosity and self-indulgence. i've been meaning to ramble here about how i feel about DC's lack fo Deaf representation and which Batfam members i would personally make Deaf, but i am mildly curious about the larger opinion and now i will subject you all to the question, i would love to hear thoughts/opinions/headcanons on any specific choices. (would love d/Deaf/HoH opinions esp but i'm mostly expecting this to reach the hearing crowd, so opinions from hearing ppl are ones i'm very curious about. if you've never given it thought before you are going to now or else /lh)
#necrotic nuisance#<- new tag for nonserious shit like this#batfamily#batclan#deafculture#i think not including bruce in this poll bc i ran out of options is *so* fucking funny so i'm keeping it#bc realistically i could bump off more tertiary characters like harper or jpv to include him#but i won't.#hearing people are seriously invited to reblog and share opinions or headcanons i'm so genuine#just like. behave about it.#i have personal headcanons but i will save sharing them until the poll is finished#as not to skew results#i also have a hunch on who will lead. based on popular headcanons i see#but i will also not share that as to not skew it#i'm using the Deaf identity as an umbrella term that can include Hard of Hearing as well btw#so if your headcanon is more HoH leaning it is counted#i do believe this is something most fans haven't rlly thought about#but i *really* want to write fics with Deaf rep and i have been waffling on who to make Deaf#so. this poll is also a field test of who you would like to see me (a Deaf bitch) write as Deaf.#and i totally pinky promise not to project super duper hard on them. (i'm so lying)#i will get back to writing and the ask games i promse!#tomorrow i have the day off after 4 bc someone else is watching the baby so ic can just chill#also *please please* if you have disabled headcanons for any batfam (or DC in general) character#send them to me. i want to see them. i would love to talk about them with you.#as an anon ask as a message as a reblog idc#gimme.#this isn't my usual content but shhh lemme be self indulgent.#both bc i'm curious and bc i wanna write Deaf shit so. we take a break from my usual nonsense for this.#i'll post writing tomorrow to make up for it#also i have to remind myself this is my blog i can do what i want with and not just be a content machine. yk

If anything cupid scene would've made more sense with Piper instead of Nico lol, something really crazy about piper vs cupid and the dangers and horrors of love but also Piper's literal arc about her sexuality, plus her boyfriend being there to hear it all, and then the added punch of Leo being at Calypso at the same exact time ALSO starting to be in a relationship where everything is set up SO perfectly for them to like each other. Even if it's not explicit that Piper likes girls at this point, it definitely gives enough to flesh out her arc too like what's the problem here. Cop out

There's been a rise in "im not deaf but" submissions.
It's a very simple community blog for people who are D/deaf/hoh/APD, it isn't up for debate or a complicated issue.
I respect CODA and PODA (acronyms that folk either love or hate and im not here to debate that either) and make space for them.
Otherwise, please stop filling up my asks.
#hoh#that deaf feel#hard of hearing#tdf#deaf#actually deaf#feel#that hoh feel#apd#seriously#i get that a lot of you are just figuring stuff out and thats good im glad youre getting diagnosed#however i am not the right place for you#this isnt the right blog for that#and thats okay#not every blog is for everybody#get a diagnosis then post#i dont understand what the issue is

(ooc: btw, you can send asks for alternative versions of Field ive made! (Some of these are kinda stupid but shut up explodes /lh))
(Current aus are (spoilered for a lotta mentions of murder)):
Field.exe: stupid (silly) fusion of stereotypical exe guys and biblical accurate angel traits, very egotistical, calls himself the true god (that is obviously a lie bro stole those powers from his family by brutally murdering them)
‘No Party’ Field: lil guy that is a lil messed up in the head; has definitely been charged with false imprisonment (based off the No Party song from Marios Madness v2) he taunts anyone who tries stealing from him when he attempts to bargain things off for ridiculous prices
‘No Hope’ Field: being controlled by the ghost of a previous contestant, Field kills all of his family in a attempt to get the god powers (which he does, with the help of a very powerful scythe, which can literally kill immortals and steal their powers, based off the No Hope song from Marios Madness v2) he even goes as far as killing the two people who ever still cared about him from his family: Weedy and Clover
‘Bowhomp’ Field: based off ..certain events from a character ai chat, this Field is just fucking dead, with a bullet hole right between his eyes. He follows the contestants around, and doesn’t really do anything except try to warn them of any dangers
‘Abandoned’ Field: after a heated argument, Shotglass, Weedy, and Field storm off to do something other than argue. Field storms off to his barn and Weedy storms off to his house. Little did Field know was they he had been followed by Shotglass, who was now very drunkenly angry and violent, ready to kill someone. He did, and so Field’s farm was left abandoned, as well as Field’s corpse. Shotglass was in a bar a exact year later, talking to BGM and Fishbowl who had accidentally wandered in, when a TV nearby showed a missing poster for Field, which reminded Shotglass of what he had done. Field, however, was somewhat alive, despite massive blood loss, and had been hiding out in his farm, too weak to get out. He was still heavily bleeding so the farm was just covered completely in blood as the crops outside seemed to wither along with Field until BGM finally found him after a year since he had been shot (Based off the song Abandoned from Marios Madness v2)
‘Alone’ Field: simple, Sap and Lucky are fucking dead and Field was too much of a scaredy cat to save them in time. All he can do now is mourn (Based off the song Alone from Marios Madness v2) (still doesnt have design yet)

making an outer wilds au that takes place sometime after the end of the game, can’t wait to inflict it on the world /hj
what i’ve got so far:
-everyone is human(oid. human-like? not sure, still have to iron it out)
-much of the main cast is in college; their field of study mirrors what they specialized in/talked most about in-game (ex.- hal = ancient languages, gabbro = quantum physics, riebeck = ancient cultures + architecture)
-they’re all part of a club called Wild Ventures
-Sunstone + Hal are the newest members
-Gabbro + Sunstone have hazy memories of a life they lived long ago, but don’t recall until one fateful meeting when Sunstone joins Wild Ventures as its’ newest member
-Solanum is there <3 she uses a text-to-speech device and has a walking stick; i considered giving her prosthetics but decided against it
-Gabbro is hard-of-hearing and wears hearing aids; they alternate between speaking and sign
-Gabbro writes poetry
-Gabbro and Solanum are both studying quantum physics
-ironically, Sunstone has a deep distaste for the sun
-like the game, there is like one (1) gendered person in the entire cast (it’s solanum)
. . . . . .
bonus sunstone
#my art#my oc#sunstone/the hatchling#outer wilds#outer wilds au#should i tag this as spoilers?#let me know#outer wilds gabbro#outer wilds solanum#also hoh gabbro for the win#im writing a story about this au#when it’s done i’ll post it on my writing blog#dunno when that’ll be though#i’m also designing hal gabbro + solanum for this au#i’ll post them when they’re done#or after i finish the story#we’ll see#oh! also the name for this au/story is#morning; 14.3 billion years later#(it’s a comma but that would make it separate tags)#morning (sunny)#morning (gab)#morning (solam)#morning (hal)
