After an all nighter fueled by nothing but energy drinks and my own stubbornness ( okay maybe also a bit of disregard for the integrity of my sleep schedule) I am happy to announce that I've made a huge amount of progress on the SWWSDJ OC character sheet I started yesterday!

The art styles are widely inconsistent for now and the full body part is still a super rough sketch, but I'm still proud :)

As always my art requests are open and criticism is welcome and appreciated!

Lulubelle (SWWSDJ Oc)

Name: Lulubelle Shields-Thompson 

Other persona: Jujubelle

Headcannon Voice Actor: Amanda Leighton

Relatives: Annabelle Shields-Thompson (mother); Rhett Shields-Thompson (stepfather); Abott Goneman(father-deceased)

Residence: Texas

Age: 6

Likes: Frozen yogurt; Pink lemonade; Dolls; Dresses; Princesses; Clowns; Her mother's approval; Kittens; Winning; Zaria;Sunny Day Jack; Getting dirty; Pink; Coloring & Drawing; Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches; Shaun

Dislikes: Pageants (secretly); Losing; Spinach; Practicing rehearsals for long hours; Harsh criticism; Not being able to get dirty; Cigarettes; Thunderstorms; Her restrictive diet; Having her stuff taken away

Personality: On the surface she seems like any other regular girl who is growing up with her mother and stepfather, but underneath is truly a sad child who is going through emotional and mental abuse. She craves her mother and stepfather's love, but they only care that she wins pageants and always berate her when she loses. She attaches herself to Zaria, Shaun, and Jack (even though he's invisible to her) because they show the love she lacks from her parental figures. She also believes people love Jujubelle more because she loves pageants and not herself. She sometimes wishes she could be Jujubelle all the time. She really wants to be an artist instead of participating in pageants which her stepfather and mother always dismiss as just childish. She tries to always be cheerful and have a good attitude, but the pressure and abuse leaks out with everytime she shows her true feelings on the subject matter of what she really wants. 

Background: A young girl who lives in the apartment next to Zaria who moved in recently with her mother and stepfather. Her mother has her frequently do pageants and is often training for them. However, despite being trained she secretly wants to be a regular kid and do regular stuff. Her mother then uses Zaria and Shaun as a way to babysit her when she and her husband doesn't have the time to look after her. She eventually also becomes acquainted with Jack who she treats as a imaginary friend since she can't see him but thinks he's real. Also due to the stress of the pageants taking their toll on her she developed a secondary personality named Jujubelle to help cope with the fact she doesn't like competing. 

* Her interactions with Jack help bring back the child entertainer in him and start to care for the girl while softening himself from being a yandere. 

* With the certain choices with how you interact, Lulubelle can let go of Jujubelle and be herself or fully embrace her to replace her birth personality. 

* While they do restrict her diet, they give her highly sugared lemonade so that remain active in the pageants. 

* Her mom is very restrictive about what she can eat in order so she can stay thin for contests. 

* Her mom always threatens to take away her stuff if she doesn't do exactly how she wants to or feels she didn't do good enough. 

* Frozen yogurt is only for when she wins. She is actually happy when she hears Zaria works at a frozen yogurt place. 

* Her mother doesn't allow her to get dirty so she doesn't mess up her good clothes. 

* Her stepfather frequently smokes around her. 

* She is based on Leanne Platter from King Of The Hill. 

* Her parents were never married and Abbot died in a workplace accident soon after Lulubelle was born. 

* Her second personality to cope with the abuse put by her mother is based on Carley from Toddlers & Tiaras. 

* Her stepfather isn't close to her and just wants to exploit her as much as her mother. And often finds her annoying when has to interact with her and doesn't give a hoot he smokes in front of her. He also harshly berates her whenever he feels she's out of line and if she doesn't comply with anything to do training for peasants. 

* Her mother often tells her stuff like she should be grateful she wasn't aborted whenever she thinks she's out of line or objects to practicing. 

* She's really scared of thunderstorms but due to her mother and stepfather's lack of care they often berate her for expressing that fear. 

* She is very close with Moonpie which would motivate her even more to want a cat. 

* In the good routes she eventually moves in with other relatives for her own good. 

* She secretly wants to be an artist.

fans are gonna try and blame the people leaving the Snaccpop patreon on the loss of the game coding, but MAYBE it's the fact that Snaccpop is just giving random throw away characters and NO content on the characters people ACTUALLY came there for.

Making tons of side projects no one asked for, missing constant deadlines we're supposed to believe they'll start meeting now that they've given themselves MORE work??

On all ends, theyre just not delivering. of course people are getting fed up.

Just noticed what's going on on twitter and just wanna put out there

How ever sauce reacts to criticisms towards the business, is not a reason to feel guilty for giving honest and valid opinions on how the company is going. Nobody should be guilt tripped from Sauces behaviour.

This isn't a personal attack, and what sauce is doing may not even be related, but i can see that being what others leverage in the future.

This sort of thing is also something i noticed when i first joined the patreon, sauce having a hard time separating the personal and profession and taking things very hard personally, which is both unfortunate and not great when you're opening your creation to a large scale audience, even if it is very human and understandable

But yeah, just, even unintentionally, this shouldn't be used by anyone (not sauce specifically, but more volatile fans) as emotional blackmail to make people not share their opinions on whats happening to, and the choices of, a company people put their money and faith in.

I think I figured out what's worrying me about sdj and where the fans less acquainted/comfortable with yandere or horror is coming from.

It's supposed to be a horror game. You're supposed to be uncomfortable sometimes. But it seems these fans and more and more every time they speak on it, the devs (tho I hope I'm wrong) are pushing for a scenario where you watch others be haunted and go through horrors (the love interests) while nothing happens to you and you're never the target as you go about solving a mystery and just watching it happen to others.

In that case, I think it'd be a shame, sure, but not a bad thing. But at least it would seem more honest to label it as a mystery or something other than horror if it's not going to deliver on causing the player any horror.

Also, this isn't about the dubcon thing, it's about people not liking jack seeming manipulative to the player or being put in any scenario that makes them uncomfortable. Like, maybe either you should play a game with a different genre, or if the game changes to exclude those then change the genre on the game itself.

Can't have your cake and eat it too, ya know?

Oh.

Time to be a lil hater on main again cause i FINALLY realized why snaccpops push on the new demo frustrates me so much.

Cause they keep presenting it like it'll resolve the fact what people were advertised is different from what theyre getting. But it won't.

Cause people already sunk a ton of money into it based on the Before photo when no one knew it WAS the before photo.

It's very frustrating!
