Uuuuh random ghost walkie talkie thoughts cuz i wanted to draw em but I fear i wont have the time to for a bit:

1. The Unvitational Committee all still love her and see her as their leader(not necessarily as strict as before but shes still the idea guy in their mind), despite Walkie’s attempts to fall more in the background and be less hands on due to her previous actions. She’s afraid if she has a leadership position she’ll take it too far again(+ sometimes her feelings and insecurities remind her of Mephone and she hates that).

However, because Cabby worked w her before at the library, Cabby took note of Walkie’s administrative skills and people person demeanor, so when she’s responsible for the community aspect of the osc, she eventually reaches out to Walkie again to be her right hand man when it comes to communication on their island + gathering community info(like events, news, new jobs etc).

This freaks Walkie out cuz being in charge of something as important as information and calls within the island is the type of position she was worried about. But having Cabby be confident in her ability manage this stuff ends up meaning a lot to her. And admittedly not being useful and stuck in the manor was driving her crazy. She kinda becomes a secretary to the OSC, the helpline for the residents and for certain call areas around the island, and has a message board dedicated to Cabby’s plans for community events(she doesnt do this all by herself, Cabby does most of the work but Walkie is very much the face that provides the information to others when needed)

2. Her room works a bit as her office, as unless she’s possessing something she cant leave the mansion. It has the necessary tech for most of what she does. However she will possess a Walkie replica or the Spring Bots for other tasks. Due to sorta having a body now, Walkie is incredibly workaholic, its very difficult for her to sit still if its not for job related reasons. Its made taking breaks or finding hobbies difficult for her, especially things like watching tv or playing video games which is what the others do most frequently. Dough eventually gets her to relax more often, but Walkie has crashed out a few times due to her stress/frustration at being told to rest. Walkie ends up really liking murder mysteries, and romcoms. Both she and Dough love talking during movies, Knife and Bow can’t stand it.

3. Other new friends besides the Unvitational Committee, Dough, and Cabby, end up including Tea Kettle/The Floor(they like to gossip), Baseball(relating to screwing up and just in general talk a lot, probs met at a book club), and surprisingly, Bot(Walkie moreso is like the silly aunt).

4. The spring bots, despite staying with Springy, still stick with Walkie a LOT, sometimes for multiple days, despite her confusion. They follow her like ducklings following their mother. She feels guilty about it sometimes, but they are helpful and comforting to her. She wants Bot to decorate them so theyre more unique, and she’s been possessing them less and less.

5. Her biggest visitors, unsurprisingly, are Ballpoint Pen, Springy, and Cabby.

6. Despite her friend groups, Walkie has told a lot of her deeper problems to Knife. She ends up doing this due to knowing how protective and loving her friends are, and how she’s worried about making them worry. Knife is someone she finds kind and supportive, but is also not so personally attached to Walkie that he would try to spare her feelings or be stressed about her low points. Initially, though, Knife used to avoid talking about personal things with Walkie, and at first she had assumed he disliked her for being a villain or annoying. She then found out it was because some of what she said hit a bit too close to home for him to know what to say. Ballpoint is the 2nd most confided in friend.

7. Walkie loves photos and being unable to take them herself, she often comes to Clover or Trophy to ask for copies.

8. Now sort of having a face, Walkie has been more contemplative about her appearance, especially if and when the ghosts consider having robotic bodies. She ends up caring a lot about looking/feeling pretty, moreso for personal reasons instead of needing validation, but, just like with her other wants, Walkie has taken it too far sometimes. As much as she tries to hide it, she cant help but be moved to tears when people compliment her look.

She also ends up hating having a blue screen in her design, due to it reminding her of Mephone4. The whole idea of her belonging to and only existing for him really gets to her, sometimes to the point of obsessing over whether she is even meant to be a person, or just an extension of Mephone. She’s had nightmares about being just an evil Mephone, or when anything she does remind her of him(such as having a sweet tooth), relapsing into a deranged control freak. Seeing her old body also freaks her out. These things at their worst can cause her to depersonalize herself as a coping mechanism, or makes her addiction to work worse.

9. One of Walkie’s dreams would be to be able to have a travel blog or be a journalist.

10. Beyond photos and journaling, another thing Walkie really wants is a stamp collection. In general she’s been curious about stationary(though she isnt as artsy as Bot)

Im really happy ppl like Gauze, i really appreciate it ^^

[cuboftea]

feeling a lil sad tonight but got inspo for a character design, so thats neat ^^

[cuboftea]

Idk if yall remember her, but this is Gauze! Redid her design a bit! Makes it practical to draw her ^^

[cuboftea]

Meanwhile, over on Bluesky.

[cuboftea]

redid an old character I drew on Ibis on a night I couldn't sleep. But yea hope you like her!

here's part 2, the many forms of Knife. It's hard to make a version specific to knife when the whole point of Paracelsus is a shapeshifter weapon, and lacks his own style, but I still tried to experiment a bit where I could, especially Moroha Mode.

Im in a talking mood cuz bedridden, so some random Mepad Mansion gang things

As much as I love the potential banter of Bow and Knife bickering like siblings, part of me wonders if it would actually be Apple who warms up to Knife first.

I get she was afraid of him at first for what he did to Marsh, but besides her stupidity Apple is also very naive but also very affectionate/clingy(she had gone from hating Marsh to declaring her as a best friend over a misunderstanding) and considering the huge save he did for Marsh, I feel like she would take what he says at face value and immediately assume they were besties too, or that Marsh and Knife are on good terms already.

And considering Apple never noticed when Marsh wanted to run from her sometimes, she probably wouldn’t pick up on his sarcasm or more aggressive comments.

Maybe Knife would appreciate that from her in the future. She’s annoying, yeah, but she takes things at their simplest and would probably be the most easygoing person to talk to, that she wouldn’t be secretly keeping an eye on him to mess up(and if she did, it would be obvious). Being very sweet but oblivious and short sighted would make a funny gag where she unknowing has a ghost bodyguard who has to keep her alive whenever she’s not with Marsh.

Maybe its nice to have someone who has nothing to hide, but having that sort of protective instinct, he’d probably try to stop her from relying on Marsh all the time and to not settle for being “the dumb one” as a reason for why she can’t do things on her own. Little sister vibes n stuff. Granted idk if he’d be outwardly affectionate, he’s probably have his own sort of banter w her the way i imagine he’d talk to the others, maybe a few pranks too.

You cannot spell Walkie talkie without a

i don't think it's very fair to be demonizing the osc for creating a false utopia btw. i think the whole point is they don't know how else to build a community because they've been secluded from the rest of the world and don't know any better

in the same manner i don't think fan should be demonized either because he was also kept away from the world by the show and is regressing back into it because it's all he's ever known. and as we all know he responds very poorly to change

iiiv in general is set up in a way that requires every former contestant to have to not just figure out, but come to terms with themselves, and grapple with the fact that just because they're free of the show doesn't immediately mean that everything's okay . both the osc AND fan need to learn this and i'm sure it's bound to be an overarching theme

no one's in the right here but no one's in the wrong either. everyone is deeply traumatized by the show and they're all just responding to it differently. you're meant to sympathize with the characters in this regard, not pick a side as to who's right and who's wrong

Used to have a huge Guilty Gear phase, still obsessed with ABA and I was struck with a vision fhdhfdhfdh.

Looks like we'll have to go off script. A doodle for my Ghost Walkie Talkie au(?)/idea. Like the idea of BP coming to realize that while he always knew the right answer during the show, now that there's no story, he's counting the hours until his knowledge and wisdom fails him/the others, as the world outside is not as concise and easy to observe as Mephone's.

[cuboftea]

Little doodle idea to ease the nerved ^^

Uuuuh quick update, kinda wanna ramble bout my head space.

Besides struggling with art block, i got mega unlucky and due to an issue i messed up trying to fix, I lost a lot of my art. I managed to recover some of it by now, as its been a few weeks since it happened, but I did still loose things I was working on(Like the newest II x Limbus Company art i was working on, and my Baseball object head design). Im not mega depressed anymore, i worked through most of it, but it was a hard blow at a time i was already bummed out by.

Im probably still gonna be super slow, but i also might post unfinished doodles that i did, idk.

[cuboftea]

Weeeeh besides art block my house has been getting blackouts and its making it difficult to draaaaaaw
