#thank you for having me

[pedrospatch]

this weekend marks the one year anniversary of me unknowingly joining this fandom. i think?

i genuinely can’t believe it’s been a year. all i have to say is thank you. thank you for being here, thank you for being in my space and thank you for letting me be in yours. 🤍

Received my contributor copy for the Dreams and Destinies: Kingdom Hearts x Pokemon zine @khxpokemonzine

It was a lovely project to work on with so many talented artists! All proceeds have gone to Wildlife Conservation efforts :) I had the opportunity to make this beautiful standee and a button for the zine. I can not wait to read and browse at all the works these creatives have contributed!

hi there ! you can refer to me as liz (she/her). this muse has been on my mind for quite some time now, and i finally decided to join this lovely place to give cha vinn a home. thank you to all the warm welcomes i have already received, i can't wait to plot & write with everyone. also a quick note: i might be a bit slow at times due to a busy schedule, but i will definitely get back to everyone in time. below the cut i will list some quick information about vinn, but if you want a more in depth biography, you can find it here. if you would like to plot, don't hesitate to reach out or leave a like on this post, and i will come to you instead!

tl;dr:

cha vinn was born on 14/09/2002 in inglewood, california

he grew up in an orphanage there, left behind by his biological parents due to unknown reasons

when he turned nine years old, an american family adopted him. although grateful, vinn still had a hard time warming up to them as he wasn't used to being part of a family

he was a troublesome child at first, getting into all sorts of trouble until meeting a music producer who worked with underground rappers

this was also when he developed an interest in music, learning to create his own beats and write his own lyrics

at the age of 16 vinn reconnected with his ethnicity and stumbled upon k-pop which sparked his interest in the genre and ultimately lead him to attending dance classes as he wished to imitate all the choreographies from all the music videos he saw

after turning 18, vinn decided he wanted to find his biological parents. he managed to contact his aunt, who helped him reunite with his biological mother living in korea

wanting to make an effort to build a relationship with his biological mother, vinn accepted his aunt's offer to move in with her and her husband

he also began working part-time at the convenient store they own, while attending university and giving private guitar lessons

his main goal is still to get scouted as a trainee and eventually debut

trivia:

is rather quiet and a big introvert

he's a perfectionist who criticizes everything about himself

vinn still doesn't know who his biological father is, but he's determined to find him too

his korean isn't perfect, and he still has a strong american accent when talking in korean

most of the time he looks angry even though he isn't actually upset

close / deep relationships and / or friendships scare him, so he tends to avoid them

he's aiming to become a trainee at studio delta

although he is serious most of the time, he can be a big dork too, it just takes him a while to let loose

possible plots:

customers of his aunt's convenient store who have become accustomed to vinn's face as he works there seven days a week

people he is giving guitar lessons to

someone who wants to befriend vinn, but he's being reluctant in giving in, although they spend a lot of time together

other aspiring trainees with the same goal as vinn. they could talk about their dreams and fears, maybe even practice together

past flings or almost lovers. as vinn never commits to relationships, he could have left behind some bitter feelings or mutual understanding. either way, his excuse is usually the same: he's not looking for anything serious (even though he is)

there is so much more potential, i'd be happy to brainstorm anything, especially things related to following his dream of becoming a trainee. don't be shy to throw ideas at me or ask for specific plots, i'm happy to write whatever works <3

having viral posts is all fun and games until you have clowns in your mentions being like "well, op, i bet you also didn't know THIS" [haughtily explains something i absolutely would and do know] like add whatever to my posts that you think is informative just don't direct it at ME! i know! i just didn't include it in the post i made in 20 seconds because i didn't think 30,000 of you would see it!

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws
