Planning for stories and stuff.
Word, dawg.

note: this intro hasn't been thoroughly updated in a couple years

This is a world I made mostly for my own use, but I made it a public world anyways. I'll be posting things about story outlines, my characters, my comics (including fan comics), WIPs, ect... It's pretty much a world where I can store information and/or plan things. xD

Below are short descriptions of my stories to help you know what's going on. xD It also shows which characters are in which story, along with their extended profile if I have one made. Some stories aren't mentioned because I don't work on/think about them often. Therefore, not all of my characters are mentioned.

More Random Stuff

No introduction, this time. ART DUMP A-GO.

This is actually from several weeks ago! :V I was trying to get better at drawing Kotetsu. Yep.

This is related to O. J.'s backstory/etc, and since I want to use him for role play stuff, I don't really want to give too much away... ;u; But uh. This is what he dresses like when he's not performing on stage and stuff. Yeah.

Some head stuff. I wanted mainly to practice drawing Prue's face. I have trouble drawing her. "orz For some reason, she looks really different with her hair down. :V
I stuck Stefan in there so I could compare his and Prue's faces, sine I used to draw them really similar.

(Sorry about Gabe's gesture, I can remove it if you need me to! :V)
These were some redraws from this thing! Yeah. Expressions are like my favorite thing to draw! 8^D I wanted to see if I've gotten better at drawing them and stuff. Angry expressions used to be really difficult for me to draw, but I think I'm getting better. Serious-angry is still pretty difficult, though. Idk. I'll figure it out eventually. :V

O. J. doesn't believe in shirts, or something.
I keep drawing O. J. in basically the same clothes, but with different patters. orz WHATEVER, IT'S FUN.
This is also the first time I lined something traditionally in a long while. Lining can be fun, but my pens don't really like drawing over the pencil sketch. 8D;

Some Vanity Fanfare expressions. :V I still don't know anything about her backstory. I thought drawing her would help me think of something, but EH...

More Gabe. I HAVE SO MUCH TROUBLE DRAWING HIS HAIR!!! It just doesn't look like how I want it to. D: I have a pretty easy time drawing his short hairstyle for when he's older, but idk... for some reason, his current hairstyle has to be so PRECISE. And if I draw something a little incorrectly, it just makes him look weird. orz Idk what's up.

And yep, that's what I've got for you today. :V Thanks for viewing, as alwayzzzzz.

TWEWY RP Character (maybe if I'm dedicated enough)

YO! I'm working on a character for Kasa's TWEWY role play. HERE'S A PIC. WOW!

(Sorry some of the words got cut off. HEH HEH...;;;)

Yeah, her name... I was walking around one day, and the phrase "vanity fanfare" popped into my head. I thought to myself, "WOW! That sounds like it would have a lot of meaning, but it actually is pointless and completely nonsensical!" And so, I passed it onto this character because it matched her to a tee. Vanity Fanfare means absolutely nothing, and that's exactly the point.
Although, it turns out that vanity fair is a magazine or something, so. hm. anyway....

SO YES. This is Vanity Fanfare (she goes by the whole phrase, not just Vanity) (??? OBNOXIOUS!), and she is basically everything that tends to moderately annoy me compiled into one character. WOW, WHAT A NEGATIVE WAY TO CREATE A CHARACTER! I thought it'd be an interesting experience to roleplay as something that I try really hard not to be. (I probably still do act like her to certain extents, but HAY, NOBODY'S PERFECT...)

So here's some stuff on this lady... PS: My intention isn't to have you agree with this character. I made her from things that I disagree with.

Sometimes I tend to create characters based on logical fallacies (?? idk, but that's how Kasey was made somehow), so Vanity Fanfare's theme is "either-or fallacy" + "slippery slope fallacy". I don't exactly know how to explain this, but the feeling I get from her is the same feeling I get from those fallacies. Like this: She has a sense of urgency that things are quickly falling into despair when they're really not (slippery slope), and that she's right while the disagreement is wrong--no leeway (either-or). Yeah. (???? AKIOH, YOU NEVER MAKE SENSE!)

It says up in that picture that she "tries really hard to be interesting." What this means is that she intentionally gives quirks to herself to try and appear unique. Examples: she wears blue eye shadow on her cheeks as blush, she speaks in long roundabout sentences when she knows how to speak normal... I got this idea from things I hear, like "wearing mismatching socks makes me more comfortable", "putting my left shoe on before my right shoe messes my whole day up", etc... I see that these things can be true, but sometimes I wonder if people actually just say these things to make themselves appear more "quirky". So I used the "quirky" assumption and applied it to this character. She intentionally does things that people ordinarily don't do JUST BECAUSE.

She also loves writing bad poetry! Like really dark, creepy, gory, violent stuff that actually has no meaning. The point behind this is that dark things and violent things (writing, poetry, art, etc) can have meaning if one makes it have meaning, but all Vanity Fanfare cares about is the aesthetic appeal rather than an underlying message. Aestheticism would be fine if that's what she was trying to portray, but instead she's claiming something has deep meaning because it's aesthetically appealing... which is a little faulty.
Also, she's super protective of her poetry, and does not take critique well. Because if you disagree with her, you're just not understanding, for her message is far too deep and philosophical for you to understand, gosh darn it!
Anther thing is that she's more or less looking for pity, praise, or any form of attention.

One last thing: Her real name is Carter Blank. Originally I was going to name her Smith, because I thought the plainness of it would be a good contrast to her extravagant pretense. (I got the idea from the book 1984, from Winston Smith. Winston = important name, Smith = common boring name.) But I like the name Carter, and it sounds more androgynous than the masculine Smith, so I went with it. I think the last name Blank is enough to give away that she’s actually pretty boring (“blank”) underneath her act.

Her profile and backstory are still in progress, but her personality is slowly solidifying. So yay!

Right now I'm trying to refresh my memory on pins and psychs and things, which is going okay... truth be told, I was always a little iffy about it even when playing the game. xD

NOW THAT I'VE SUFFICIENTLY TALKED YOUR EAR OFF... Thanks for reading! And sorry if this character somehow offends you. One day, I'm going to offend someone for making characters with traits that I disagree with. I always feel like I'm making fun of these people. I-IT'S FINE IF YOU DO SOME OF THESE THINGS, JUST NOT ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME! Vanity Fanfare is obviously an exaggeration...!

But anyway, thanks for reading, once again.
