Marc telling the story behind his 'Factory Pilot' selfie.
MCH: Today, on the motocross, he published a photo of himself in which he was wearing a t-shirt that said 'official rider'. Was he hesitating at all?
MM: (Laughs). I promise you for the life of me, I really do, that I took the selfie and I didn't know it said factory pilot. I haven't even noticed. So, we were in the van and a message came to José Luis Martínez, the sparring partner, and he said: "Dude, what have you said, people are already revolutionized." Upon seeing it, I wrote to Laura and the communications people and told them that I didn't do it on purpose, that I swore it to them.

FOR THE UNCOMMON OC QUESTIONS BTW!! pick any oc, do em all, whatever you want! i wanna know more abt your guys :D
2, 3, 17+18, 28, B, D :3c!!!
HII tysm for asking!!! :D ok ok i want to do all of them for at least a few of the questions but that’s five whole people so i’ll put this under a cut because it might get long lol
2. How easy is it for your character to laugh?
winnie laughs allll the time, she’s super easygoing and giggly so not hard to make laugh! emrys is very quiet and doesn’t laugh out loud easily, but he does smile instead. dove has a very loud and easy laugh! cassia doesn’t laugh as easily or loudly but he does laugh when someone is being particularly funny, esp if it’s winnie when she’s small. and micah laughs a lot but it tends to be sarcastic, you have to surprise it out of them if you want a genuine laugh :]
3. How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)
emrys sleeps a lot bc he’s a lion, so it doesn’t take much as long as he feels safe. winnie likes to put on their coziest pajamas and get comfy with a million pillows. cassia tends to sleep in short stretches and wakes up a lot, so she tends to listen to music or a podcast and just resumes it whenever she wakes up again (and he also sleeps better with other people nearby). micah has a whole complicated skincare and wind-down routine before bed but tends to lie in bed awake for a while despite their best efforts oops. and dove likes to read before bed, usually obscure magic tomes or niche spellbooks to look for tips!
17. Are they easily embarrassed?
not particularly any of them? i think emrys would be the easiest to embarrass though.
18. What embarrasses them?
for emrys, he gets embarrassed when he gets stuck as a lion for a bit. his lion shifting is connected to his emotions so it sometimes forces him to be vulnerable and obvious about his feelings when he doesn’t want to be, which he REALLY does not appreciate lol
28. Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth?
i’ll do micah and dove for this one: micah would prefer the unpleasant truth always, no exceptions, and assumes the same is true for others. dove hates conflict so she’d prefer the lie but she can also usually tell when people are lying so it doesn’t matter much either way.
B) What inspired you to create them?
long story short, i was bored and just really wanted to make up a group of fun guys, and i had already had a vague story brewing for a while that wouldn’t leave my head hehe. so i made them all a pinterest board to figure out their vibes and went from there :P
D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?
mostly they’ve stayed the same, cassia and emrys have changed the most i think? but that’s just because for a while i couldn’t decide if i wanted to include obviously nonhuman traits in their world or not. so i went back and forth on the lion thing and cassia’s horns, but eventually i decided these ocs were already self-indulgent and they were too much fun for me not to include so lion shifting and horns it is hehehe
thank you for the ask!! this was very fun to answer :D
