IM SO SORRY MY FRIENDS SENT ASKS AHHH
But uhm!! What made you create Finn to begin with? He's so cute and I love what you and Envy have done! Im excited to see more but I might keep lurking in the shadows! ^~^
Dawg get off anon pLEASE
but! I will still be kind and start with your question fubsaodfnweoq
TLDR for people, this also has a tangent about Harlequin in the fandoms eyes bc i love him
At the very start, Finn was just a doodle I was making as I sat at a artist alley table sdjvnsdf
i saw a lotttt ofocs who; ( AND I SAY THIS WITH LOVE IN MY HEART AND NO ILL WILL TO ANYONE WHOS OCS ARE LIKE THESE its just not what I was looking for)
Are taking the role as MC
Have been with the circus since the start
Another rival who is here for mc/ fan service
And I had just done a deepdive into Harlequin as a charcter and I noticed a thing, no one has really made a solid oc to counter him
I have seen some AMAZING ones for Jester and Ticket taker (Mostly on Tiktok)
But anything involving Harley was MC or paired with greenapple WHICH I ADORE DO NOT GET ME WRONG
But i am a harley supporter in the deepest parts of my heart
Harlequin deserves a love that is just his, no rivalry, no games, someone who genuinely likes him and makes him WANT to be better (emotionally)
Harlequin I have noticed is always second to Pierrot, looking at the rivalry in game with Mc and then with Columbina, hell even his BIRTHDAY is AFTER Pierrots and Ill be so honest there WAS much less fan fair for his birthday than Pierrots which broke my heart for him
Finn ofc is his own character outside of his relationship, I made damn sure of that but they work together so nicely
Harley was KIND OF nice ONE TIME and that was genuenly enough for Finn because poor dudes a sucker for mean guys who are nice (more on that way later lol) But harley never had to fight anyone for Finns affection, it came with no strings, no games, just a consistant thing
I ALSO am really into mythology as a whole, and I have been on a kick of learning more and more about Celtic mythos/folktales and well the fae came up and i just thought to myself
"Hey what if all the creatures we hear about in the world are just monsters in game haha wouldnt that be funny!"
I did a lot of background info on sea serpents in general and how geographically he would differ from the others, he never had a need to grow his claws long, be big and strong, be athletic, all his shit is in the water and by god his is a damn good swimmer
He also has webbing between his fingers and toes, gills, two rows of teeth, a lot more things a creature of the sea would need vs one of land
I genuinely haven't had this much fun in a fandom space OR making an oc since the early days of Voltron and i really hope it stays this way
i forgor to tag you twin mb @littlecharmingenvy
