Even if you do like the idea of smut with your F/O, sometimes so much of it just doesn’t suit your tastes. Like, why are you assuming I want him to dom? Maybe I want to hold the wheel every once in a while!

I just found out Knackadan Drizzle and Rory Rainberry are canonically gay. On one hand, it kind of destroys the idea of my Cloudy Town-sona Ruby having a crush on one of them. On the other, it kind of doesn’t. I did like the idea that it wasn’t a real crush. That she was aromantic and lying to herself or something. And after the guy comes out, she’s completely unbothered. She doesn’t even seem disappointed.

Ruby: Pfft, no big deal. I just need to find someone else to love. Like Rory!

Jack: He’s gay, too, Ruby.

Ruby: Okay, then Sue!

Jack: She’s straight.

Ruby: Is there anyone in this town who likes women?!

Jack: I do.

Ruby: …

Jack: …

Ruby: Well…you’re my best friend. It’d be too weird.

The results are in!

The top two character concepts you chose for my Doe-Eyes character are “cheerfully oblivious” and “created in a lab”. So let’s combine them!

Meet Chip!

Chip was created in a secluded research facility on the outskirts of Doomsbury. The scientists were aiming to use some of the nearby supernatural phenomena to create a synthetic superhuman. For what purpose? No one knows!

When he was 7, a woman busted him out of the research facility and ended up adopting him. By the time she enrolled him in second grade, he’d forgotten his whole time living in the lab. He occasionally had strange dreams of adults in white coats, but he thought nothing of it. In his eyes, he was a normal boy, doing normal things like going to school and playing with his friends (like Stu).

Even now, at age 23, he’s 100% convinced he was conceived and birthed just like any other human. Sure, he can’t remember anything before the summer before second grade. Sure, he only needs 2 hours of sleep a night. Sure, he was the first person in middle school baseball history to be banned from pitching on account of being too good at pitching. But these are all eccentricities!

He’s heard all the strange stories about Doomsbury but doesn’t believe any of it. Surely there’s a perfectly logical explanation for those alien sightings! He moves in excited to meet new people and finally get to go to the school he wanted.

And his happy-go-lucky nature attracts a certain hatchet-wielding man…

I should mention when I say “cheerfully oblivious”, I mean not just to supernatural phenomena, but to romantic advances. He’s convinced that Alan “Doesn’t Give a Crap About Anyone Except His Doe-Eyes” Orion is just a really nice guy.

As promised, here’s a little about my My Dear Hatchet Man-sona! She’s a mysterious woman who runs a supernatural carnival game booth in an abandoned amusement park right by the woods.

Staying out past midnight

Revealing anything about her personal life

She functions like a bartender; she’s there for other characters to vent to. She knows everyone but doesn’t directly participate in the story. I think she’d have very fun interactions with Stu, who came in the hopes of winning a rare Miku figurine and ended up dumping his entire life story on her.

Thinking of writing a DaChaBo fanfiction about an MC who reunites with the Bo they had when they were six.

A blank slate would be easier to write and to project on, but an OC would have a stronger personality and therefore more fun interactions with Bo!
