#fadeaway

"'What happens when the whole world wants you to fade away?'There is something strange happening at the small town of Evanesce Haven. After a kid that has never been seen before appears at Littlewood Foster one day claiming she's always been around, Kana is set on figuring out how and why."

Propaganda:

"A sort-of AU of the author's other work, Wings: Island of Ales, featuring a familiar cast in a new setting. The art and world are no less beautiful for it!"

This was a very fun question! I had to take some time to think about this, and there's probably still a lot of things escaping my mind.

My favorite ones that I ALWAYS like to bring up to friends to shock them is how we like to set effigies on fire out on the streets (for new years), called monigotes/años viejos and that our garbage trucks have silly music like ice cream trucks do in the USA. (You can hear the song if you click here. It's been the same song since I was itty bitty.)

Kana will mention the burning of effigies on chapter 4! But there's no mention of the garbage truck music on the comic so far. Kana didn't live on LATAM long enough to have those as a memory. But maybe somene else will mention it.

There's also a lot of flooding that happens every rain season here and there was this one time I just? Saw a guy surfing on it? Like, tied a rope to a post and let the flooding waves make him "surf" in place. Really fucking funny. I bring this one up because Evanesce Haven does flood in rain season and I do have characters (Max and Ash, who haven't shown up on in the comic yet) do a lot of similar stuff playing in the rain and messing around with floods that reminds me of stuff I've seen and done myself in my city.

I think the town on FadeAway conceptually is very LATAM inspired despite being in the USA, even thou it wasn't on purpose. Because I tend to write the world as I experience it and well I live here dfbvd. Like, Evanesce Haven being situated somewhere at the base/start of a mountain so it causes the town be covered by mist sometimes. There's a lot of places where I live that do this and La Sierra(mountains) in my country is important to me and so so beautiful, so I made a town like that out of instinct without thinking if that fit anywhere in the USA (it does thankfully LOL)

There's this river area in the woods of Evanesce Haven where the river's water overflows and has a toooon of little rocks everywhere that Noriel and Kana like to pick up and find little trinkets on. Because I couldn't imagine my characters not doing what I do when I go to the beach/La Costa :'D

Then the fact that The Marketplace is a very prevalent area in Evanesce Haven and the reocurring in the comic as a whole until it's very end… because I've spent my life surrounded by market places like El Mercado de Otavalo and other similar ones my entire life.

I have thought about this before a whole bunch for enrichment because I love music so get ready for a long answer!!! You can take this as a song rec list also if you want lmao. These are not songs I link to them, just what they'd like to listen to! (But some might overlap.)

Noriel would honestly listen to whatever but my heart of hearts is saying Daughter and Aurora as her favorites.

Kana would be into Half Alive. This sort of upbeat music fits what I think shed want to acompany her throughout the day.

Kana and Noriel together would listen to Kiltro! Which is nice cus they do share a song by them. Also Bacilos!!!

Kana and Carmilla Absolutely listen to Passion Pit.

Carmilla 100% would listen to Raury, I just think that's her vibe. (But maybe I'm biased cus I've been listening to them today.) My heart also wants to say Noriel and Wander would listen to Raury.

Is it corny to say Loona and Carmilla would listen to femtanyl together lol. My brain was literally like "Hmm Loona and Carmilla both seem pretty lowkey and one is cutieful while the other looks like this :| but I want that when they're alone together in a car you hear the loudest noisiest music the moment they close the window- OMG FEMTANYL."

Loona otherwise would listen to Cemeteries and System Of A Down-- completely different vibes, she's a woman of many talents.

Loona and Noriel together would listen to Haley Heynderickx.

Wander I literally just gave him a song by Daniyel the other day so I may be biased but I think he would be into that style of music KBFDVD. And Lord Huron!! Him and Noriel would listen to Lord Huron…

Max would listen to Mon Rovia and Glass Animals. Ash might also get them into Jhariah, I think she should get them into Jhariah imo but I'm biased.

Ash is a The Mountain Goats and Paramore girlie, there's no fucking way she's not. Also MARINA for sure.

Bobby would be into Novo Amor and Sleeping At Last but I'm biaseddd, I'm so biased. Noriel would like those also…

Characters: Maxwell Marhill (FadeAway) | Wander Light (FadeAway) | Kana Blanco (DAU)
