Rosa's intro video is now public! this is part of a short series where i introduce the main cast of my animated series, MECHFIA. :) please subscribe to the channel if you want to learn more about the series, because i'll be posting more intro videos soon!

you'll notice me using paraphile community tags for this post, and that's because Rosa is one of the many paraphile characters on this show (and one of the highly stigmatized paraphilias).

even though that's not all she is as a character, it's still an important part of her and probably going to be one of the most controversial aspects of this show, so please show her some support if you can and help me continue to write fair, accurate paraphilic representation, not "good" or "bad".

Lily's intro video is now public! this is part of a short series where i introduce the main cast of my animated series, MECHFIA. :) please subscribe to the channel if you want to learn more about the series, because i'll be posting more intro videos soon!

after privating all of my previous videos, i decided to make this one public again! a lot of the lore and designs are outdated by now, but most of the colang stuff is still accurate.

reblogs appreciated!

Rosa is part of the main cast! here's her intro video:

in Season 0, she mostly plays the role of being Lily's friend, but she will have her own character arcs in future seasons that i'm very excited for.

the intro video doesn't really cover her personality (all of the intros are more lore focused), so a few things about Rosa:

she's a very cheerful, 'sunny' person...in the sense that she's learned to repress things and her religion teaches followers to 'not cast shadows' (think toxic positivity).

she has a dark sense of humor at her own expense. she would never make jokes about someone else's pain, but her own is fine.

so Season 1, The Mind, is when Logan gets Mind Controlled, and it causes brain damage. he actually gets lucky and avoids total brain failure (like the majority of Mind Controlled cult members did, due to how long they were under), but the left hemisphere of his brain still sustains damage, impacting the language center and giving him Wernicke's Aphasia.

(highly recommend you watch the video below too; it's a good example of someone with it, and i really like some of the observations/insights in the comments.)

he will be able to make significant progress with his aphasia (and that's a realistic thing to depict; it's just not going to ever go away entirely, since most people will always have remnants of their aphasia), but all of Season 2, The Tower, will highlight his struggles with the condition, the ableism he encounters [looks directly at David using this as another way to try and invalidate Logan's autonomy], the internalized ableism he deals with, and the positive aspects of his condition -- inspired by what Sharon Stone had to say about her aphasia, and also this bit i read about Gabby Gifford's case.

finished floor plan for David and Lily's tent in Zone 13! this was super fun to stream and has given me a much better idea of what the interior will look like. 😊
