And everybody cue your Markiplier-esc appreciation quotes for our dear lady….cause Caine is gonna need it.

“BOBA TEA” IS NOW OUT!!!

We all have comfort characters for a reason, or if you only have a mild liking to a character that’s your favorite, we all have our reasons why for it. And I think that’s what makes us capable of sharing the characters we love with others who have different tastes.

But why is that? Is it because they’re well written? That they have a unique design choice? Is it because they’re relatable to the audience? Or do they just happen to be appealing and it’s all based on “they’re cool, I like them.”

It’s important to note everyone has their own reasons for liking a character or even considering them as a comfort character, even if the character is someone you do or don’t like.

I’ve been through enough of the trenches of the internet to get a good understanding that people will follow the bandwagon, find genuine appreciation, or just love the underdogs of most media.

And while I can’t say I would understand EVERYONE’S tastes in characters, I can at least respect why it would be appealing to someone because to them, this character means a lot.

I consider myself as someone who can get attached easily to a bundle of characters which totally hasn’t backfired on me in the worst way possible.

*This has led to some horrific unresolved emotional turmoils and makes me question how most series’ can stomach doing that. Its story I know but it makes me cry ;-;

But in short, if you’re considering going into the big industry where your characters are going to need to make a stance on the big screen, then I can’t really give the most authentic advice because it really depends on how well your series/game will be perceived by the audience. Not to mention, personality and looks DO count but don’t sweat on it too much.

The best thing I can offer is this:

Write your character in the most “real” way possible. Don’t go try writing them as if you intend to make them to be liked by everyone (in a real world sense), just make them as authentic as possible without the pressure of a bigger audience in mind.

You have to pretend that your characters are just characters in the story, treat them with enough love and respect by you to flourish.

And then let your future fans and fanbase handle it from there!

Hello!!! And to answer your question, yes, she CAN open her mouth!

Although it seems like an obvious answer, I actually do understand considerably it matters to the model so yup, she can open her mouth like Pomni!

I can’t tell what it is

This is nice.. 😌

Don’t get me wrong, I think anime can encapsulate this perfectly, but when you insert an overpowered character who pretty much has “godlike” powers in a new situation that has lower stake enemies, especially in adventures where things can be achieved easily but isn’t…because the narrative requires for that said character to fail to help or even DO anything different because of “plot”.

I avoid this tripe entirely because not only is it just difficult for me to write, but it’s also really boring.

Like, why would I write Iris, Tatiana, and (maybe eventually in the future) Celeste and Vivianne to have that level of skill? That would make them boring.

So, I’m following in his footsteps and hope to help others just as he had helped me in my time of need.

Hope you're ready for Caine's ultra hyper-realistic Joe Biden adventure!

Jokes aside, I wanted to talk about your post about the current state of C&A.

I'm an urban explorer (no, I'm not an accountant, too). Some buildings are abandoned with everything left inside. There's never really one reason. There are legal disputes, and someone would have to pay for the equipment removal. It's messy. The sudden closure of a business usually means everything is left to rot (no liquidation planning).

You gotta look up the Mexia Supermarket! The lore of that place is bonkers. The owners abruptly shut the grocery store down and left it fully stocked, meaning the place became an actual biohazard. Bacteria, rats, flies, roaches, etc. just living in all that leftover food in the TX heat.

Also, someone in your comments mentioned the electricity thing, and they're right. It can be cheaper to still pay for some basic services to avoid taxation. I don't think this applies to C&A, but some buildings like hospitals are also connected to a power grid. C&A most likely isn't, but that's just a fun abandoned building fact.

Ooooooohhh Okay!!! Thanks for explaining it because it was bugging me a little and, I wasn’t entirely sure how the whole process works because it’s stuff I’m usually trying to adjust my brain around to understand.

But this does help put in perspective as to what happened, at whatever case scenario, C&A was just left out in the open with whoever is still paying for the basic stuff. Either way, people are still getting stuck in the circus!

Thanks for the input, Urban Explorer Anon! This helped!!!

If C&A was shut down, and the property was abandoned to the point Suzy (Ragatha) and her team went out to investigate the property and put it up for market…how come the power never went out?

And moreover, why leave behind all electronics and important data behind?

I know I sound insane (and I am, I admit that) but…when it comes to making a narrative that depends on the logistics of what something is why something has been done or why it’s around, there’s always reason.

The circus really shouldn’t have existed if the property was completely abandoned (if the fact that Grant and Destiny and all other devs completely dropped the projects to do other matters), then…the property would have been sold to someone else, hence why Suzy and her team came.

Moreover, the fact that likely had been used as a shelter for Leeroy and maybe Leah (Ribbit) or Doug (Kaufmo) COULD be considered legitimate if it was still somewhat plausible for the property to be in good shape.

Zoey’s case, to me, is a very critical discrepancy with the reveal of her accident and with zero reason why she was there to begin with, and we never figured that out.

As for Riley (Zooble) and Abigail (Pomni), it can be excused as urban exploring.

All of this while the building is still standing; it’s tech from the 90’s still in working condition to even turn on, connected to a headset, and systematically be powered on by possible emergency generators.

The fact that nobody sold or destroyed the tech in general is no short of a miracle for Caine.
