I'd like some help with ideas for a comic I want to make.
This is the first Tumblr post I've ever made, so hopefully I'm doing this right, sorry it's so long, I don't know if anyone will even see this post, but there's a comic I want to make with some of my OCs and I'm pretty good at coming up with roughly how I want the story to go, like how it starts and ends, but not so good with coming up with what happens in between. Like filler and stuff.
The basic plot:
Two 14yo boys (best friends) are at a summer camp and while exploring the woods they find a crashed spaceship with an alien inside, adventures ensue with the alien for the rest of the summer camp. At the end of the camp, a spaceship -following the alien's distress signal- brings the alien back home.
Random info:
The two 14yo boys names are Timothy and Chris. Chris is kinda nerdy while Timothy is more adventurous.
The alien's name is D'mitri. He is an adult.
There is also a turtle named Pete, but he's not really important to the story.
The camp is not boys-only.
D'mitri does speak a different language, so miscommunication might be an idea if his translator doesn't work quite right.
D'mitri also has some unique characteristics -he is an alien after all- and I will get to those characteristics later.
I don't really want romance to be a major plot point, Timothy and Chris might get together at the end of the story though.
I am a fan of cryptids and stuff, but I don't want the story to be super focused on stuff like that, it's supposed to be more "an alien has come to earth and now two teens have to deal with it" / "an alien has crash landed on earth and now has to deal with two teens". There can be a little bit of spooky stuff, but I don't want it to be the main plot.
My main plot problem is how D'mitri interacts with the camp since he's not really supposed to be revealing himself to humans. He couldn't hide as a camper since he's an adult, and the counsellors would probably notice that he's not one of them.
D'mitri basically got adopted by Timothy and Chris despite the fact that he's older than them.
D'mitri knows very little about Earth, so that's an idea or two.
I have never been to a summer camp so I have no idea what goes on there. Please give me info.
Chris is totally geeking out about the fact that there is an actual alien at his camp.
One idea I have is a camper being suspicious as to why Timothy and Chris are acting so weird. Kinda like Wes from Danny Phantom.
Alien info:
I had way too much fun coming up with ideas about what exactly D'mitri is, stuff about his planet, the language, and more, so this might be a lot.
D'mitri is what I call a Luranian. They're aliens from the planet Luran.
Aliens from that planet can also be called Lurans.
Luran is a largely aquatic planet with rainforest-like biomes covering the land. Aka, it's wet and damp.
Luranians are mostly inspired by amphibians/reptiles, so they have a few characteristics of stuff like that. Such as, larger lungs to hold more air and skin that can breathe air through water (like frogs) because they're underwater alot, larger feet (kinda like flippers) so they can swim faster, a little bit of webbing between appendages, they're also a bit bigger than humans, and most obvious, chameleon-like skin. Basically, they can change the color of their skin and hair to blend in with the enviroment. Their skin/hair is usually cool colors like dark blue and green, but they can change it to any color they like. So D'mitri is able to look human, except for the fact that he's slightly bigger. And his eyes can't change color to normal human eye colors, unlike his skin. Luranians' skin do unintentionally change color due to emotions and stuff sometimes.
I have been working on a written language for the Lurans, and the language sounds mostly like chirps, whistles, clicks, etc.
There is another type of alien in their universe called a Rolasian (from the planet Rolas), but they never show up in this story. If you are wondering, they are inspired off of bugs. I will make a post about them eventually.
Sorry this is so long, and if anyone reposts this on pinterest or something, please let me know so I can see if those people have any good ideas. My pinterest is https://www.pinterest.com/jothejo93/ btw. If anyone has any good tips for creating comics, that'd be helpful too.
Here's Timothy, Chris, and Pete btw,
Sorry if it doesn't look great, I had to mess with contrast, exposure, saturation, etc. to make it look good in digital form.
Update from just over a year after I posted this, I have made progress! :D
For example, I have some more characters such as:
Casey; the head counselor, aka the one in charge of the camp.
Leo; the unfortunate counselor in charge of Timothy and Chris's cabin.
Scottie; resident lake monster.
Jess; the aforementioned character inspired by Wes from Danny Phantom.
Elijah, Nathan, and Robin; the other members of Timothy and Chris's cabin.
Agents M and C; the main antagonists of the story, and agents of a mysterious government agency.
I still don't know exactly what summer camps do, so I still need help with that, but I have the main events of the first three chapters mostly planned out!
Also, while I managed to come up with some antagonists, I don't know exactly what they should do yet. Obviously they'll cause some problems around camp, but what kind of problems?
I also haven't quite figured out what roles the other members of Timothy and Chris's cabin play.
So while I've made a ton of progress, some help would still be appreciated.

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).
When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".
When the boat is still being built, your say "it".
When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".
When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".
When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.
If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").
If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")
If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").
If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.
If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.
I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.
also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.
there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.
you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.
but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.

friendly fucking reminder do NOT post about your lootdrops publicly!!! this post is a great example of "table baiting" to get you to reveal what valuables you drop on death WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY PUTTING YOU AT RISK OF FARMING!!! think for a second and be safe out there!!
Random Au idea; Miraculously, the Blip-A crew survive, but at the cost of their travel time, making it so they arrive at Tau Ceti around the same time as the Hail Mary. (Don't think too hard about it)
Grace now gets regularly hassled by many Eridians, all of whom can hold multiple conversations at once, unlike him.
Naturally, opinions about the local wet organful thang Tau Ceti dragged in are varied
