Wake up, BurningCheese/GoldenSpice babes, new poorly drawn blorbos just dropped

They look cooler in my head, I swear.

the images didn't show up the first time wtf lol

The kids are finally here, yay. I promised I'd show you them, and I finally stopped being an asshole and followed through. Almost got 200 followers and I'm very grateful for it - really, I'm nobody. I'm just some clown who says dumb stuff and makes dumb memes and writes cringey stories, and yet I convinced almost 200 people to tune in. Thank you all so much, users on here and anons in my inbox alike. As a token of appreciation, you can all endure my rambling about my OCs and witness a person in their early 20s draw like a 12 year old.

The boy is Pepper Jack (or Pepper Jack Cookie). He's the firstborn and older than his sister by a few years. He takes after his mother in a lot of ways, primarily in her appearance (save for nabbing his father's red eyes). He's incredibly bright (and a smartass lol), preferring to think his way out of conflict rather than fight his way out... not that he's above violence at all, if that glaive doesn't give it away lol. He harbors a deep sense of love and loyalty towards his family and his peoples, and carries the weight of his responsibilities and heritage with as much confidence and poise as he can muster. (There are/will be times where he stumbles, of course. He's not perfect. He struggles a lot more than he lets on, really. But he tries his best, for everyone's sake.)

The girl is Matar Paneer (or Matar Paneer Cookie). Again, she's the younger one by a few years. She was all but made in her father's image, save for inheriting her mother's eyes. She's a little firecracker: lively and fun-loving and stubborn as a mule. She doesn't ask "can I have/do this thing", she tells you "I'm going to have/do this thing". Golden is proud as anything to see her daughter be so greedy... until that greed comes into conflict with her and Spice's authority lol. But she's a good kid, despite being such a handful. She has an enormous heart and is not afraid to stand up for others/what's right, and she loves her parents and brother more than anything in the world. She might doubt her own capabilities, she might secretly fear that she's not strong enough to do what she needs to... but she keeps pushing anyway, because she'd honestly choose death over quitting.

Your eyes are not deceiving you, Pepper Jack's wings are blue lol. There's an actual reason for that. And that USO (Unidentified Sitting Object) in Matar Paneer's hair is a lotus (the cheese one in the GCK decor set lol). There's a reason for that, too. I thought it would be cool to give Jack a glaive and swap out the normal blade for that of a khopesh sword (glaives are not Egyptian, they only saw use in Asia and Europe, but I just HAD to give him a glaive), to add that Egyptian touch. Paneer's supposed to be wearing a pattu pavadai, it's a traditional Indian dress for young girls. It's a blouse plus a skirt. She's holding katar, Indian knives (Cilantro Cobra has them, too). And her hair's supposed to be in a low ponytail.

Merchant thinks that if they explain what their terrible drawings are supposed to convey, people will understand their intended vision and the pain will stop

I sat down and did research into both Egyptian and Hindu mythology for the sake of drawing inspiration for them both. I'll explain in detail in another post, but basically: both of them take after one Egyptian god and one Hindu god each. Golden takes after Ra and Spice takes after Shiva, so I figured I'd follow along that line.

Please flood my inbox with questions about them now. I've really been dying to talk about them for ages now. I've drafted extensive character sheets for them both, I even made up in-game descriptions for them lol. They're my little fankid blorbos and I love them :') I hope you all come to love them, too

(Also, I'm sorry they're on lined paper. I'm visiting family rn and that's the only paper my grandmother has in her house. I'd have to drive to a stationery to get printer paper and I'd really rather not drive in this particular country lol (shit roads, even shittier drivers). I'll doodle them on printer paper whenever somebody remembers to bring me some)

Category five lighting designer moment incoming but I have Still Breathin' thoughts. Still Breathin' is way less anchored to physical space than the others. Like Luther's interludes and the DJ, it's disconnected from the Warriors' physical journey home. However it's too big and physical of a moment to put it on a platform so you need to disconnect the main area of the set from normal space and time. The easiest way to do this is by putting it mostly in the dark.

Call Me Mercy fades out. We're in the dark. We stay in the dark for longer than has been established as the rhythm of the scene changes in this show so far. The audience feels that this scene is More Different than the others have been. Masai flicks open his lighter (real lighter) (dont worry about it fire marshal) and we see just a little bit of his face for a second or two before a dim orange glow picks up the space around him, pretending to be the light from that little flame. He chuckles to himself and says "you lucky you still alive."

This is where we cheat and call in a universally recognized symbol to establish if not /where/ this scene is, then /what/ it is. Big round pool of light directly from overhead, hard focus. This is the Interrogation Room spotlight. The light will bounce off the floor to illuminate the other Riffs standing around the edges of this pool of light (probably in a neat little half-circle formation) but they should never actually step into it because that's Masai's place as leader.

Masai monologues in the pool of light for a minute just to be cool before he gestures for the Riffs to bring Cleon - beat to hell, hands bound behind her back - forward into the light. From here it's very classic stage composition. We start with Masai in the center of the light, holding all the power, asking all the questions. But he falters on "calm down." He leans back a little bit. He's no longer in control of the narrative, he's no longer sure what happened tonight. Cleon takes advantage of that moment of uncertainty and gets right up in his face. Shes asking the questions now, she's the one who knows what happened and what needs to happen next. She forces him backwards little by little with her barrage of questions, with her proof that he doesn't know what he's doing, and he knows he's lost when the Riffs get excited on "you get him" because they've found someone who is promising them justice, who actually seems to be able to deliver.

When Masai asks "what do you do when they kill everything you believe in?" after that, its not rhetorical. He doesn't know. He's standing on the edges now, pacing back and forth like a caged animal, but Cleon doesn't need to move to keep her eyes on him because she's right there in the center and she's got him. His anger and desperation doesn't frighten her. He wears out that last bit of fear and fury and then accepts that he needs to follow her at least for tonight. He says cut her free. One of the Riffs moves forward to untie her. The light goes down.

This is too much blue for a lying scheming man

But I guess it reached its targeted audience

I don't know what to do with this.

i don't think i'll ever get over the comedic timing of being prepared to intubate an obtunded patient going into worse and worse shock on three pressors code cart in room pads on having like six people all staring at the vitals anxiously as this person might code at ANY MOMENT, me standing at the head of the bed ready to tube the second we have a safe BP and the nurse from two doors down comes into the room and says, 'hey doc, room x is in asystole' and just. walks away.

i'm just. standing there. peri-coding this patient. and i'm calling after him 'uh.... are they supposed to be?!'

absolutely insane delivery. no context no info just 'hey, btw this person's heart stopped. :) bye ' HELLO!?!
