means so much to hear, thank you!!! it was a lot of fun to play around with negative space like that, really happy with how it turned out :) thanks for the excuse to draw them again too. a three-handed duet

6. if you had to make a completely new alliance out of players that haven't teamed up before, who would you choose?

oooohg my limited scope of player perspectives is showing (I could be forgetting an alliance I just never noticed in a prior season,) but . mumbo and etho would be fun. and I wanna see BigB and Grian I think they'd be goofy. BigB "took the vaguely ominous task given to him by the definitely-not-Watchers and ran a mile with it" St4tz2 and Grian "Watcher's favorite specialest little boy" lastname

7. who do you think will win this season?

CLEO. she's being very careful . and I think she's got a good setup!!

12. is there anything you're hoping to see this season?

A case of mistaken identity... Aka, how Epsilon, capy and Tangy met Viridian. The general consensus is that she’s frigging terrifying...

🗑 What is one fic idea that you loved at first but then scrapped?

Uhhh let’s see. I got asked this a minute ago and still can’t think of a better answer, though I’m sure I’ve scrapped things. Mostly I just shelve ideas though, not trash when I had a deep interest. So, I’ll say my ND/The Final Scene fic I got 2/3rds through as a baby. It would no longer interest me. My other two baby ND fics would.

💰 What’s one trope you wouldn’t write, except for money?

I mean, there’s so many hahaha. I’d write a lot of stuff I detest for enough money I could make a net positive with what I did with the profits. :/ Hmmm. I will say the whole “It was all a dream,” Fridge Logic because it’s a pussy move to do no work and go ‘oh the audience won’t think to wonder why the assassin tried to kill them in a huge bomb when their job was to make them quietly disappear and just dumping them in a lake even was smarter’ and it drives me up the wall, like, just say you’re lazy and don’t care and own it at least. Also Take That, Audience!, because it’s mean, Grimmification bc I dislike it, and so do most people who I’d be writing for, You Bastard! unless I really, really had like an Undertale reason to put it in bc it’s amazing 10% of the time, and shitty the other 90%. I’m sure there’s lots more.

✏️ What is your fave fic from another writer?

Uhhhh I don’t know. I don’t actually read much fic, but my sister shares some with me. There’s one fic in reading w her right now that inspired how I do my author notes, but as for ones I’ve finished? Uhhh, there was an Invader Zim fic on fanfic.net called Experimental I read a long time ago with her and remember greatly liking. I’ll go with that.

❓Write an alternate summary for a published fic without using names. (Points if your followers can guess the fic.)

“This is a Dr. Loomis absolute despising space”

Lol — okay but for real.

“My professors I just met week 1 keeps telling us to write about our deepest traumas & show it to them, so instead I’m going to write about a character I am fascinated by and love and their trauma instead, then give them the version just vague enough & w changed names, they’ll think it’s me. Enjoy the original.”

2. Why does your oc look the way they do? What are your reasons for their appearance?

Kumo is supposed to look like Kamen Rider's early Heisei characters (early 2000s style), with having the long mullet hairstyle and the face shape

And a little older though he's mostly just stressed. I just like this vibe a lot. The rest of his design consists of different weather-durable jackets for his job that are fun to draw with his slouched posture

and that one outfit Ryoma from Gaim wore one time that haunts me

5. What kind of abilities and power level does your oc have?

Like Kamen Rider Forecast, Kumo will also have an armoured form. He's tech-reliant. He uses fog/smokescreens, a grappling hook, spear, shield, and nets/ropes. Things that maintain distance and slow ppl.

His abilities are about enough with Forecast's base form(s), enough that he could get in Sunny's way until possibly overwhelmed one way or another, though he would mostly retreat

-- Why did you give them their powers?

He was meant to just be a background character but his name meaning cloud (because he's gloomy) also meant spider (a common kamen rider motif) and the Itsy Bitsy Spider nursery rhyme (relates to the story's weather theme) finally gave me reason to do more with him.

-- What's the in-universe reason?

To sabotage Kamen Rider Forecast.

8. Does your oc have any notable flaws or activities they're not good at? Why did you give them those flaws? Why do they exist in-universe?

He can't keep up any habits or promises. He rarely goes through with what he says, either because he forgot, he talked himself out of it, or scared himself out of it. It's why he still has his job as a storm chaser; he has never actually looked up alternate jobs that are probably fine with a weak resume that he also 'forgets' to learn how to make.

10. What is your favorite trait regarding your oc?

His attitude and face journeys. He's one of my first OCs in a while that has a normal face so I'm taking advantage of that to be silly

11. What is your least favorite trait regarding your oc? 17. List/describe up to five tropes that apply to your oc. They could be related to the oc's characterization or their narrative arc.

I dont know :(

20. Share a random piece of trivia about the creation of your oc. Examples: scrapped ideas or changes you didn't expect to make.

He's specifically associated with the female Joro spider, which incidentally lined up with him having a feminine nickname (Kumoko-chan), and raised a question about Kumo and gender identity during discussion. I never really decided anything though, with my track record of being ambiguous/wishy-washy about character gender

how would you describe your style

messy. crunchy. there's usually a square

2. what's your favorite thing about your style (2)

It definitely feels like my own, after years of constantly changing it when I first started digital art

8. what's the most fun and the least fun parts about your process

most fun- when i get to colour the inner lines or draw a negative space and it makes my brain go 'yeap this looks cool and comprehensible'

least fun- constant readjustments when there's something bothering me and I can't tell what

23. what's something you hope people notice when looking at your art

loss.jpg as both an easter egg or just a basis to some texture or pattern
