URGENT: WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME

My friend @chronicarus, aka Devi, is in desperate need of our help! For unfair reasons explained on gofundme, Devi's insurance is no longer covering the expenses of his top surgery, and his surgery date is fast approaching!

A different insurance plan has come up as an option, but this will still cost Devi $5,500 out of pocket!

Devi only has until Oct 13th to purchase this insurance plan in order to keep his surgery date on Nov 17th. PLEASE help him by either donating or reblogging this post! He might not get another chance for quite some time, and he's already suffered so much! 💔

$335 / $5,500

aww I love this so much, he's so cute! ;_;

So I found this doodle of Shadowy Venomous and I think it's pretty alright.

He just needs a tiny Boxman there to keep him tamed.

Aaah I love these ideas so much, and all the beautiful art!! <33

Hey btw if your ever in need of ranting about a blorbo/oc, this is an ask that tells your to do so. What is the most interesting thing about them? Do they have any symbolism to them and if so what is it about? Favorite ideal situation to put them in? Any romance ideas?

Anon, I want to start off by apologizing for taking EXACTLY A YEAR to reply to this! Happy One Year Anniversary! 💀😭 Obviously, I’ve been thinking about this a lot, trying to decide who I wanted to talk about and trying to put my thoughts into words. And, of course, it took even longer because I wanted to include drawings of the characters… 🤦‍♂️Anyway…

I’ve decided to talk about multiple characters of mine, since they are important for my upcoming comics: Boxman’s mother, father, and sister! I have some New™, Fresh™ information to share about all of them today! Hope you enjoy my ramblings!

MEREDITH (Boxman's Mother)

Most interesting thing: Hmm, well… the things I find most interesting about Meredith are kind of spoilers for my comics, but an interesting thing about her is her special ability! (“Every proper siren has one, darling.” 💅) It’s called Eye of the Storm, and it allows her to summon and control a raging thunderstorm at will. Obviously, this sort of thing takes a lot of energy to maintain, so this ability actually comes with a secondary feature: Meredith can occasionally choose a victim to steal the energy from, and all she has to do to steal said energy is to make direct eye contact with them. The lady’s got a mean glare as it is, but with this power on top of that? Wowza. Watch out.

Symbolism: Given my answer to the previous question, you won’t be surprised to know that I associate Meredith with storms! She is a passionate character with a wild side, and when she truly gets going, she will step aside for no one.

Favorite situation to put them in: Meredith is a complex character with a lot going on, and I don’t want to reduce her to just an antagonist… but MAN, does she make a good antagonist! 😆 I love to put her into situations in which she terrifies/intimidates other characters, and trust me, she will have a lot of chances to do that in the comics!

Romance ideas: Meredith isn’t much for romance. At least not anymore. Heron was her first love, and after her relationship with him went south, her trust in men was destroyed. (To be fair, it was shaky to begin with.) She has, however, made an attempt at another relationship or two for monetary reasons. If that even counts lol

HERON (Boxman's Father)

Most interesting thing: Heron has had a wide variety of experiences across his lifetime, and during that time, he has developed many, many skills. These skills include (but are not limited to): farming, fishing, sailing, cooking, baking, sewing, crochet, whittling, building, juggling, and playing the banjo! Just… don’t ask him to sing, okay?

Symbolism: Heron’s symbolism is… probably pretty obvious, huh? I mean… he’s got an anchor… tattooed… on his back… *ahem* Anyway. The anchor is connected to a lot of Heron’s positive attributes—loyalty and sturdiness being the main ones. But it is also connected to some of his character flaws and the way he views himself. In a way, Heron himself is an anchor, for all the good and bad that entails. ⚓

Favorite situation to put them in: Despite the immense amount of comic outlining and scriptwriting I’ve been doing for Siren Theory, I can say pretty confidently that any scene in which Heron interacts with Professor Venomous is one of my favorites. It’s partly due to the “meet the parents” trope, but the other part of it is that Heron is just an unusual guy who does unusual things, and having a stranger witness that firsthand is hilarious.

Romance ideas: While Heron has had his share of crushes in his youth, he has never been in a serious relationship with anyone but Meredith… and he would like to keep it that way. He still feels like he’s putting the pieces of himself back together after their messy separation.

REBECCA/SIRENA (Boxman's Sister)

Most interesting thing: I think the thing that I enjoy most about Rebecca is the duality in her personality. She is very charismatic and graceful onstage as Sirena, but offstage, when she’s just Rebecca, she can be pretty socially awkward and kind of a klutz.

Symbolism: Some of you may have made the connection already, but Sirena’s real name, Rebecca, is a nod to Rebecca Sugar, the creator of Steven Universe and the spouse of Ian Jones-Quartey (creator of OK KO). This name was actually a suggestion by my sister (Thanks, girlie!) because she knew Sugar sang the end credit song of OK KO, and that little song was one of my inspirations for creating Sirena in the first place. Since then, the name has really proven itself to be a perfect fit for my little superstar siren! The meaning of the name Rebecca is “to tie/bind,” and Rebecca really is the character that ties her family—and the narrative of a lot of the comics—together!

Favorite situation to put them in: My favorite moments for Rebecca are the ones in which she is emotionally vulnerable. It isn’t always easy for her, but there are some things that will happen in the comics that will force her to wear her heart on her sleeve. I’m excited for that!

Romance ideas: Honestly, I’ve come up with so many ideas for OK KO that I won’t have space for all of them in the narrative, even though I’m planning to create, like, 19 comics! 😂 One of those things that won’t get a lot of time in the spotlight is Rebecca’s developing romance with a certain someone. That being said, it wouldn’t be a big spoiler for me to say… Plazecca! 🎵

Thank you so much for asking, Anon! Truly, you have enriched my enclosure. 💖

In an effort to keep momentum going on Devi's GoFundMe, I am now drawing gift art for donators!

From this point onward, anyone who donates $40 or more and shows me proof of their donation will receive a free drawing from me as a thank you!

What you will receive from me is a flat-colored drawing of any character of your choosing with a simple background!

Here are some examples of what that may look like:

(Backgrounds will be more like the first three examples or even slightly more detailed)

All you have to do to receive a drawing from me of your OC or favorite character is to donate $40 or more to the fundraiser linked in this post and then dm me a screenshot of your donation receipt! ✨

Please help! Devi needs this money by November 17th! 🙏

PLEASE PLEASE SHARE THIS AROUND!! I want my dear friend to have everydays where he isn't struggling with depression from his extreme dysphoria. I want him nothing but the happiness he gives me with his shining personality. Unfortunately I'm poor myself and can't give him any significant amount, which makes me feel quite desperate.. So thank you so much if you share it. <3

Awww... This picture is so sweet. Look at them ;_;

Finished Ok Ko and imma be real. I relate so much at the second last episode of it. Specially now when I’m going back and forth with my own negative emotions. But to see how you can try and give your other half the love and care you do deserve, then you can learn to love yourself. Sort of how I saw it anyway, and watching that show of its entirety with a deep meaning like that where surely, others struggle with that feeling as well, it makes you come to appreciate what it tries to convey. With how old I am now, I wished I learned that sooner than later 🥹 regardless, have this, I finished it as I cried real man tears.
