Just ploppin into your asks to tell you that I simply love your writing. Just? The absolute pathetic wet cat energy you give John (While he basically sees himself as a tiger or some shit?) A++ Also Jestiny? Such a fun character! 4D chess master of our hearts. Whenever you post a snippet or a full thing it is directly opened in a new tab so that I know I have something fun and a+ written to read later. But I am curious. Have not been here from the start: How did Jestiny come to be?

HI ANON sorry for sitting on this for a hot second. combination of ask made me so happy and the Horrors made me so sad which made me need to hoard the ask extra to cheer up. ANYWAYS. thank you SO much pathetic john is so very near and dear to my heart and i am glad i pull it off.

and as for birth of jestiny (ah fuck she has a birthday coming up huh)... i guess it’s kind of a (haha pun) cop out to say her starting point inspiration was just me sitting and reflecting on what kind of character i would want to see both in the deputy role and in a relationship with That Fucking Guy. and the answer to that was a girlfailure who is Just Some Guy (derogatory).

my primary aim there was to craft someone with like. the thinnest veneer of being Better Than Him that only holds up if she’s Standing Right Next To Him for comparison. meant in the moral sense (tbt to her self-proclaiming her grounds of superiority as “well, i’m not going around ripping people’s skin off” ethics legend) and also in the being obnoxious and pathetic unbearable and making everyone want to kill her with hammers sense. and to make that something that sorta peels back like #OnionsLayers so that she has the effect of like. omg she is sooooo justified and cool and badass if you glance at her for five seconds. she has witty one liners and she’s literally not ripping people’s skin off. well not much. i think i’ve said this before but at her core she is supposed to be a riff on the america’s sweetheart/small town hero cop thing, because. well. irl that person would suck. so she sucks<33 it’s been a lot of fun.

also wanted it to be glaringly obvious it’s like. a sex thing for her

Mesmer Jr and Medicine Pocket having beef in official arts collection (as of 1 May 2024). I hope they keep beefing for all of eternity.

On the topic of disability, there's so many times it gets mentioned outside of Harry and Kim too. Evrart and his diabetes caused by poor nutrition in his childhood and his eyesight also caused by inaccessibility of treatment (iirc). Lena and the way she can't do field work with her husband because Martinaise is super inaccessible for her wheelchair. Rene and his PTSD. I'm sure there's other examples too that I can't think of rn. But a major theme of the game is how disability and poverty intersect, how capitalism frequently causes and then punishes disability.

im going to be honest, if you don't want to do the bare minimum of using different pronouns for a new iteration of a character, you are unbelievably lazy.

ELEMENTAL SPOILERS!!

She— she doodled a 🔥 and 💧 symbol with HEARTS AROUND THEM ARE YOU SERIOUS

thinking about how akio sees his younger self in utena and wondering if there's any fondness there. doesn't change the horror of what he does to her obviously but i do wonder

I remember being so distraught when we thought Hirotsu and Gin died, and then when it's revealed that Tachihara was the perpetrator, i was literally like "nvm theyre fine. That's his family, he wouldn't kill them no matter what" and i was right.

my ta nemesis kids are a silly lil bunch

It's been more than 20 years and for some reason I feel that Gosho hasn't given Kaiao any development, how can more than 20 years pass and Aoko dynamics, relationship and feelings remain the same? At this point I feel like Gosho is just going to make them date because "they already liked each other" they remain in the same status quo

Hey, if we go by DC romance progress, they've been going too fast. We've already had suspicion of identity chapters, and that didn't happen until more than 400 chapters in DC. /j

Since heists have taken over any character development recently, I don't even know if Kaito and Aoko will even get any romantic progress. Maybe the actual identity confrontation will happen down the line, since that's thief drama, but atm, it really wouldn't surprise me if they only ask each other on a real date at the very end of the manga.

Like. I'm sure Gosho would love to make MK a love drama as well, but he writes MK so rarely, and usually as hype for something Kid related in other media. So the MK stories tend to be heavy on drama that can only take place at Kid heists. (To the point that the new chapters just. Use Kid as the plot device to show off a new character. Even Hakuba's never gotten so much 'look at this character being a detective' treatment in MK.)

-sighs- I just feel bad for MK as a series at this point. I like the characters, I like the general story idea, but. It's been going down a very steep hill with Gosho wanting things exciting, but not wanting any real progress in. Anything. But unlike old MK, the new stories aren't even nice standalone setpieces of story, they're... mundane. They could be high stakes, if you purely look at the scenarios on paper, but. We all know nothing's gonna happen to Kid. Nothing even happens to him when the actual bad guys show up, much less one-time antagonists.

We need actual character focus and development, not heist drama. Badly. Not even romance, though that'd be a nice change. Just any character expansion of our limited cast of characters. Gosho wants big, all the time, meaningless big stuff, when small would be so nice.

i need to draw sparks bleeding out but its 12:30 and i have school in like 6 hrs. someone do my work for me /silly
