#thank you again i enjoyed those!!

For Luqqah! 1, 8, 14, 18! (- @astralarias)

Hi thank you for the questions!! Much appreciated <3

1. What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)? 

This one's actually an interesting one for Luqqah because she is one of my very very rare characters that had at least a bit of backstory before I ever looked at any ingame customization options; and also the only character I created who had an established connection to one of my existing characters.

So her very first element was basically being Lahpp's unnamed ex-girlfriend for backstory purposes with no real impact on present events but... you know how it is, started thinking about the details more, she actually got a personality of her own, started tinkering with character customization to get a feeling for her looks... and when the recent LS1 episodes gave us the antitoxin glove skin the deal was sealed bc "I need a character for this armour skin".

8. What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story? 

Her backstory isn't super relatable for me and character wise I actually strongly disagree with many of her values and ideals… not saying there isn't anything to be found at all but I can't think of anything on the spot!

So I gotta give a relatively superficial answer for this one, which would be her passion for music I guess! She goes about it a bit more hardcore than me (read: she actually knows what she's talking about) but nonetheless a shared hobby! I slap the music interest onto a lot of characters in one way or the other huh.

14. If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be? 

A) She's ambitious to a fault (will walk over literal corpses to reach her goal) & B) she thinks she's doing the world a favour with it. Her ultimate medical breakthrough is going to save so many lives after all, all the sacrifices will be worth it in the end :)

18. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC? 

Okay this is actually a silly detail in her backstory and not super significant in the grand scale of her character / story at all but my girlfriend and I decided that she had a little... short-lived affair with one of my gf's characters (Inquisitor Dunnh) while she was still officially in a relationship with Lahpp.

Hey, I started reading Robin son of Batman because of your recommendation (I literally have a print of your post on my phone to not forget lol). Honestly? One of the best things I ever read!!!

Thank you for opening my eyes! Damian has been one of my favorite characters for over a year, but I didn't read/watch much of him because of school, life (and probably an executive dysfunction in the mix).

Maya is incredible. I loved her.

I haven't finished all the issues yet, but do you have any other recommendations?

WAH this makes me so happy, i'm glad you still gave it a shot even with how busy life is!! ;v;

i’d love to give reccs, and i’ll try to go a beginner friendly route! tbh you can pick up whatever here, but since you've read R:SOB i’d immediately follow up with Batman and Robin (2011) #1-8! this first arc is what’s referred to in Maya’s introduction, and it's just. so good.

Batman Incorporated (2012) #1-10

Happy Valentines, Akira. Happy Valentines, Asshole.

If you can’t read what Akechi’s secondary inner-dialogue says cause I obscured it too much behind his regular dialogue, here’s a transcription in panel order: Hello, you fucking- Ah- Hello, Akira! Fuck off, why should I tell you- Just a soda- there’s a new flavor.

I don’t want your shitty gift. Oh- haha! You’re so sweet.

I hope I choke. They’re lovely, thank you.

Like hell. Likewise. There’s no way it’s just a coincidence. Still though, it’s a funny coincidence.

It's a nice thought, Mechi. Eventually, though, we do want you two to be matchy-matchy with bionics as well, so hairstyles really are the only thing telling you apart.

Besides, Kwahu's hair is pretty iconic at this point, and I like drawing it.

Oh, uh... Bye, I guess. Thanks for hanging out. Don't come back.

Don't worry, Brandy! You will be avenged!! The perfect opportunity to field-test our bionics.

We're in the middle of fighting evil dog-killing cultists, and bugs decided to try and outmaneuver our killbox (it did not go well for them). Silly bugs.

Tbh this account’s become my “let’s rant about random shit” place but I have another thing to bitch about lol yall who keep whining about people creating “good ending” AUs where Anya keeps the baby are annoying. Her keeping the baby doesn’t make it a bad ending. That’s like a real thing that many victims do? And we don’t even know what her choice would have been, so her keeping or getting rid of the baby are both totally valid portrayals of her character. IMO both are interesting ways to explore her character more since both have equal amounts of weight to them as choices. Godddd please just have some nuisance in a game that opens itself up to heavy interpretation.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for the support on the cocole comic I made a while back, because it got waaaay more attention than I expected and I'm still in a lot of disbelief but!! I'm really glad!!! LOTS of behind the scenes ramblings under the cut, this is a really long post you've been warned lol (also psst,,, read Mic Check by @rendekobora,,,,)

I made it before the whole Act 5 surge of activity™️, so you can probably imagine how desperate I was for RD content that I just made some myself lmao. Also remembered the google docs I made for comic notes and

As you can see I was very sane when I was working on it (lie)

I also found some old comic concept sketches of one of Ren's other fics, Coffee Break :D

I remember initially planning to make a comic of Coffee Break first as some sort of practice, and then moving on to Mic Check as the actual project thinking it was doable (past mochii was unaware of the pain that is comic making. little did she know 😔).

Honestly the whole reason why I initially wanted to make a comic of the entire fic because the whole thing was just so GOOD. It was really difficult for me to even decide on what scene to draw because it just kept on getting better and better, the urge to just make the whole thing got me so bad like GHFGHGH. Lastly here's some more progress updates I did in a server because I thought they were funny

Congrats to those who found the fnaf !!!!
