I mentioned last time that I had some new plans for my textpost series, and then I completely forgot about them for three weeks. Will probably happen eventually, though!

Next Volume:

The thousandth (real) post on this account. Of course, it had to be a new volume of the series that started it all, but in order to make it extra special, I’ve also made sure all twenty “main characters” got representation in this volume.

Next volume:

Formatted differently to the previous ones, but I highly doubt more than two people even remember those.

Thinking about how Erica and Bo are both so plagued by a lack of control in their life, as well as the barrage of deaths they deal with, that they make drastic decisions they never would've otherwise, given their cautious natures, to try and regain that control.

Thinking about how Lanc and Chi are both silly goobers who talk exclusively about their special interests and work together on insane science projects to distract themselves from the fact that they're way out of their comfort zone in a team filled with competent adults.

Thinking about how Mar and Orion both have horrible coping mechanisms regarding their trauma that only worsens their personal relationships, and have to try harder than they ever would've wanted to maintain the positive relationships their livelihoods rely on.

Thinking about how Simple Bob, Smuk, and Rose are all so fixated on their professions, so fixated on building themselves up as worthy and capable, that none of them truly get to show off their actual personality unless it's an interaction with one of the other two.

Thinking about how Deko and Joker are both teenage boys with zero confidence in themselves and their abilities compared to literally anyone else around them, to the point that they just want to force themselves through the adventure without expressing real emotions.
