its almost time for ART FIGHT which means i spent two days ignoring making refs for my ocs and did a whole lineup for one of my (and @teruthecreator's) aus instead. mich fig (@tigsbitties) and i reworked some of the choices :]

DIALWEEN MECHANICS PLANT...REVAMPED !!! leaning into kobold roger and dragon peter, the whole of the factory (& co) is fantasy-themed! contrasting with the more halloweeny spooky theme of the rest of the dialween cast.

from left to right- everett is a satyr (complete with whimsical lyre), joe's a devil, fabron's a fairy, roger is a kobold, rebecca is a pegasus-taur, peter's a dragon, and caroline's an elf (but on account of being an objecthead you can't actually tell)

(send an ask with a character name + a fruit emoji and i'll go through these questions with the character in question! alternatively: send specific numbers + a character name)

off the top of your head: notes for characterization? what are the most essential traits of this character to you (personality traits, important connections/dynamics, voice)?

adjacently—do you think fandom does the above traits justice? why or why not?

throw this character at any other character of your choice to bounce off each other as outsider pov to each other— regardless of timeline or logistics (crossovers allowed if you're interesting about it). why this combination? what insights would they have on each other?

how do you think you would react to this character in real life and vice versa? would you prefer be a million miles out of range, be amicable classmates, or fall desperately in love? (bonus: arrange a hypothetical date between yourself and this character. getting silly with it is encouraged (fakedate them! escape a dinner date through a bathroom window!))

ideal flavor of rotating for this character? crack them open and dissect them— do you want them tormented, pining, or being loved + comforted? do you have any specific scenarios you like to think about?

weave a web of dynamics through the cast for this character: which dynamics are you most interested in? both canonically and through extrapolation/speculation— which dynamics are the richest to you, and why?

Now my world is perfect!
