There are buildings that you sometimes see, in places where they shouldn't be.

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

Hey gang what if I got obsessed with a bunch of side characters and their non-existent summer camp spin-off

(Character design notes below)

Neon

Neon was by far the easiest to design. She’s described as being short, having numerous piercings, wearing a leather jacket, and wearing almost entirely black. The only “Rose originals” for her are her general spikiness and some playing around with her hair style. To me her most interesting design detail is that she’s noted to have a hint of blue in her otherwise brown eyes, so I tried to incorporate that where possible.

Blaze

I definitely took a lot of liberty with Blaze. For starters, most of his shirts are either sleeveless or have had the sleeves cut off in some way. This is naturally because he kept setting them on fire. Similarly, a lot of his clothing is very patch-heavy, mostly because I really hope he learned how to repair and/or combine his clothes instead of throwing them out at some point. And finally, I have a note about his jewelry. While he has chains and earrings on, he isn’t actually wearing metal! Even though his flames can’t actually burn him, I’d imagine heat conductive jewelry wouldn’t turn out well for him. Instead, he wears silicone jewelry. (I actually got this idea from electricians, who don’t wear metal jewelry to avoid electrocution. Shout out to electricians. Maybe that would mean that the material was Neon’s idea?)

Indah

The cover artist did a lovely job with Indah, so I followed their lead. I’m mostly happy with her design, but her tattoos are definitely off. Early on Damien describes her as having a tattoo in “a language he doesn’t recognize” on one arm, but I’m not sure what language it ended up being, nor what it said. I’m also pretty sure there’s a scene where she explicitly states what flower she has on her arm/back, but it’s a bit hard to navigate to certain scenes with the audiobook, so for now it’s just roses. If anyone knows, please share!

Damien

Damien is described as emo, speckle faced, chubby, and notes his hair is getting long in the book. With all that in mind, I decided to soften his look a good bit as a teenager. In my head he only started wearing leather jackets after leaving LA, possibly in a vain attempt to be as cool as Neon.

Thanks for reading all that! As a bonus, take this totally normal WIP from a comic I’m working on :]

a lot of you probably knows Belphie's story, but I'll summarize just in case.

Devon Rex cats are better for people with allergies (less shed fur + less Fel d1 protein in their saliva), so on February 16, 2024, I went the breeder route and put down a deposit. before Belphie even opened his eyes, he was mine!

every Friday, the breeder sent me a new photo. I had a broken leg, and was basically rotting in bed at that point, so it was the best part of my week. then, at 12 weeks old, I BROUGHT HIM HOME!

at first, he was so alive! like a wind-up monkey that never shut off. he dangled from the wall-hangings, savaged my feet as I walked, and used my elderly cats as jumping poles to do cool acrobatics over. but all this gradually faded.

first, he stopped playing. then he stopped climbing. then he stopped moving much at all. my vet ran tests on him and found multiple pathogens (calcivrius + mycoplasma), but the medication didn't help - he kept declining.

on September 17th, I woke up to find him swollen like a balloon. we finally had an answer: he had Feline infectious Peritonitis, aka FIP. before 2017, this would've been a death sentence. he would've kept bloating until he drowned in his own fluids. and before 2024, I would've been forced to inject him with black market drugs. but thankfully, South Tower Animal Hospital in Fergus, Ontario was doing a study on the oral medication! we drove two hours, enrolled him, and left with the GS-441524 pills.

and he went from those photos above.....to this:

I thought Belphie would die as a kitten. I'd accepted that he would never grow up. but now he gets to LIVE!

and all for the low cost of $7,553.....ahhhahaha........god.

that + a recent home disaster has wiped out my savings, but I still need to pay for Belphie's medication. to remain in this study, I need to do bloodwork monthly until Feb 2025, and he'll need daily pills until March 2025.

I've put a risograph print + enamel pin set up at greerstothers.shop. I hate asking for help, but if you'd like to support Belphie's continued treatment, please consider checking them out!

Headcannon that Jason got the headstone from his grave and put it above his bed because it says 'Here lies Jason Todd' (he broke off the good soldier bit ofc) and thinks it's the funniest thing ever, some of the family, of course, are horrified.

Dick, at Jason's before they go out on patrol: Hey Jaybird, make sure to bring a spare respir--WHAT THE HELL?!?

Dick, looking frantically between Jason and the headstone: this is clearly a threat. Somebody knows your identity. I swear to GOD when I find who did this--

Jason, looking up from his phone comepletely unbothered: oh yeah, about that

Bonus:

Tim, climbing through Jasons bedroom window: Hey, its me, dont shoot. Do you have a first aid kit here right?

Jason, getting up from where he was reading in bed: ugh yeah sure, one sec

Jason, proceeds to grab a sticky note saying 'DOES NOT' and jabs it onto the headstone so it reads 'Here DOES NOT lie Jason Todd':

Tim:

Tim: okay that's funny
