KREE Official Blog!

These are the most commonly asked questions I get in no particular order! If your question doesn't come up here, try searching the key words of your question in my blog's search bar!

Everything I post is human made. I do not use ai and I would appreciate it if fanworks (fanfic/fanart/ etc) made based on of my characters/story are not created with ai either.

The time period was inspired by the mid-late 1700s (when the industrial revolution was revving up in Great Britain), but in Kree's world most of the "revolution" is happening in southern human cities where they have access to the new magical resources being gutted from the forests near the equator.

Ice cream does exist, but would've been more of a, somewhat pricey, city treat. That being said, if my characters got to try it, these would be their favorites:

Clara - Lemon or any citrisy flavor

Kree - Berry flavor (but the fact that it's made with another creature's milk would gross him out a lot)

Laurel - Pistachio flavor (She actually does get to try ice cream as an adult, so this one is particularly canon!)

Are they around like emu- ostrich sized or are they even bigger?

They're Large.

Do harpies in general have a butt?

They’re bipedal but do they have fat deposits in the gluteus Maximus to even be considered a butt by human standards?

They do have gluteal muscles! Despite not standing completely upright or walking very often, Harpies do still use their glutes for squatting on branches and for controlling their body when flying.

I've never really had to worry about copyright or obtaining licenses to upload short form media (tiktoks, reels, shorts).

The worst that's ever happened was tiktok muting a decent chunk of my videos after a contract they had with some music artists ended and now they are much stricter about muting audio from songs/shows/movies. As of now my tiktok account is quite "swiss cheesed". But! Other that, in the last 5 years, I've personally had no problems uploading a few seconds of copyrighted audio to tiktok/youtube/instagram so if that's what you wanna do don't fret too much.

However, long form media (like a regular youtube video/ honestly anything longer than a minute) is different and you should probably go through the proper routes to use copyrighted audios legally (probably costs money), ask small creators/voice actors for permission to use their original audios (the worst they could say is no), or make do with royalty free music if you wanna upload something/ add it to your professional portfolio.

Eating/feeding in this way is a very parent-young child specific activity similar to breastfeeding and isn't something typically done between friends/lovers.

Since I've always cared much more about the romance and characters in my stories rather than worldbuilding, I actually relied a lot on people asking me questions on social media to develop Kree's world.

When I first started posting about Kree and Clara on tiktok in ye old 2021, I wasn't setting out to make what I ended up making, I just liked the vague concept of a historical romance involving a crypid/mythical being and a human with the added fun of bird mating rituals. But then strangers started to comment asking me about harpies, how magic worked, why Kree couldn't stay north all year, why Clara couldn't move south to be with him, etc.

Complete honestly a lot of my answers were improvised on the spot with what I thought made the most sense for the story/ world building I'd already thought of. To this day I still improvise a lot when folks ask me questions on youtube and tumblr, but I've always loved fantasy worlds, weird creatures, and magic, so I suppose my inspiration tends to stem from all the movies, novels, and art I've consumed until now, particularly the ones with a little romance in them.

hello!!! I was feeling stressed w/work so I pulled tactic:distraction and I drew clara !!! (this is my interpretation of her color pallete bc I couldn't find an official one so I hope it suits her lol) anyway I LOVE ur characters!! the birb fam are so everything dude (also I wanna draw the dragon guys next to bc petra is kinda 😳)

She looks so cute omg!!! I really enjoy your style and brush choice since I personally love my art to look like it was drawn in pencil. It's always interesting to see how others perceive Clara since I don't post her in color often as a stylistic choice. I think her being depicted in light gray makes many people assume she has light coloring when in fact her palette is more like this:

Whenever I post her in color I always gets comments of people saying "SHE'S NOT BLONDE??" haha. I've genuinely tried drawing her with blonde hair and it never felt right to me for some reason...

I recently posted the vid they were talking about to youtube, but it was originally posted on my tiktok yeeeeears ago.

Since you're talking about my latest vid, I believe you're thinking of Laurel not Clara. Here's what I can say about her new beau:

Her name's Agatha. (Fun fact: It used to be Penny but then Bridgerton came out and I realized I made a similar chubby, redheaded, regency era character with the same name without having seen the show/books before and realized no one would ever believe me that it was a pure coincidence. So, name change it was. I still miss the name Penny though.)

She is not Laurel's girlfriend in the story yet and their "situationship" stage is quite long.

She comes from a wealthy/upper class family that lives in the south and is a bit sheltered.

Because of her family's nitpicking at her looks and achievements for years, Agatha believes herself to be undesirable in a calm, stubborn way.

She just barely managed to convinced her family to send her to art school by saying becoming more accomplished may help her find a husband. In truth, she just wants more time to create before she's trapped in a surely loveless marriage.

She sees women as the most beautiful creations in the world and wants to try to capture this beauty in portraits and depictions of mythical figures. (She doesn't yet realize how gay these feelings actually are)

In a literal sense Kree would defend his territory (the places he makes a nest, hunts, and lives within) against any other harpies trying to permanently move in.

Harpies need a certain amount of space in order to not over-consume resources, but no harpy ever really "owns" property, at least not permanently. Instead they either move into unoccupied forestland, make an agreement with other harpies to share the land/ be neighbors, physically duel another harpy for the right to settle down (this is more common in the south where safe places/ areas with abundant resources are in high demand), or constantly travel around without a permanent home, lingering in other harpies territories only when allowed. I don't really think defending his territory could be considered a toxic trait for Kree under these conditions.

So he mimics sounds and Clara taught him how to speak.

Does his voice sound like a copy of Clara’s feminine voice?

Or does he have an english/Latin American accent?

Also one thing about Kree’s hands.

Especially his palms are they like the skin you have on your palms? Sensitive to touch and smooth? Or are they more calloused like the skin on the sole of your foot? Giving him less sensitive nerves for touching?

I think Kree's inflection/speech pattern would sound similar to Clara's since he'd learning language from her, but his voice wouldn't sound like her. He knows the difference between perfect mimicking and learning words, so he doesn't copy her entirely. (But he could mimic her voice eerily accurately if he wanted to) He also doesn't really speak the southern language, he has just heard it before and knows a few words. Its not enough to give him any sort of accent there.

So we confirmed that the Harpies are infact ableist.

What I’m getting at is. When do we get Kree mean mugging someone in a wheelchair? Or with a prosthetic?

Or does Kree view his shortness as a disability of its own? (Or is it like the pot calling the kettle black lol?)

Kree is not mean-spirited like that. His ableism manifests more as pity for the disabled that comes across as ignorant/ infantilizing. It's also hypocritical since he seems able to overlook Clara's "disabilities" (being unable to fly/ do many things a harpy could do) because he's into her and because she is not a harpy (he holds harpies to a higher standard.)
