so many tassels...... im glad i made them bc they look better than anything i could have bought but still.

also note to self, next time you need to add tassels to a hem, tack them to a ribbon or something and then sew that into the hem instead of taping them to between the hem and praying.

i decided to forgo his stupid neck pillow because i couldn't get it to sit right and i don't have time to fix it, plus im already going to be overheating in this, i dont need to add even more lol.

will have to make some adjustments to my pattern (jacket too long, sleeve too short haha), but it's turning out well!!

the trials of these sleeve panes.... i hand hemmed them bc the seam allowance was small enough i wasn't confident using my machine. luckily i have plenty of time at work to get sewing done.

also cutting out even squares is the worst and i fully ended up using tape on these instead of pinning them rip

These are more focused on the background stuff rather than the usual "what would the character do in XY situation" kinds of asks. I've been looking for something like this for quite a while and in the end decided to make my own. Feel free to use, go wild, enjoy

What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

How long was the process before the character reached its final version? (or a version that would be clearly recognizable as the character?)

What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?

And reverse, which one of the four things did you struggle with the most?

How did you choose their name and why? Was it simply based on vibes or is there any specific meaning behind the name? Are the reasons behind their name different in- and out of universe?

What was the thought process behind their appearance? Did you go mostly for the aesthetic or are there other reasons they look the way they do?

What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

What is the origin of their personality? And let's be honest - how much of it is projecting?

How big is their role in the story? Do they make a frequent appearance or are they a character with little "screentime" but big influence? Or are they just a favourite background guy?

What is their main character arc in the story? Where do they start and how do they develop? Do they get a happy ending or is their story a tragic one?

Is there any existing character from other media that your character resembles? Was the resemblance intentional or was it a coincidence?

Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?

Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?

Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?

Have you ever made a moodboard for them?

Is there any memes or running jokes associated with the character, both in- and out of universe?

Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?

Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and "offscreen" connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story?

What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

Achilles can never overtake the tortoise, as he first must reach where the tortoise was. Luffy can never reach tomorrow, as he must first reach the end of today.
