#But waugh robots

[kakusu-shipping]

🔀 and also 🔪 for Overwatch if you have any

I wanted to draw for all the swaps I really did but this one in particular would require me to draw TWO robots and I'm just not... strong enough...

Asks from Here

🔀 Crossover Ship: Pair the wrong s/i with an f/o from a different universe and talk about their dynamic!

I ended up going with my Virtue's Last Reward S/I sense he is, partially, shipped with GTM-CM-G-OLM, a character with 30 minutes of screen time, and my Shipped with Zenyatta S/I, sense they're the OG of the OW S/Is and both shipped with Robots <3 Yay continuity!

My VLR S/I is, in short, a being from a higher plane that's love for K and desire to help him caused them to break through space and time, causing the entire game's events, just to be with him and give him the love he deserves. It's based on the noncanon ending of VLR. (you can read a mini fic about it Here)

To fit into OW lore I imagine he'd be something akin to The Iris, possibly the Iris taken human form, come to Earth. I'm not sure why it's come to Earth, but I imagine it's not very Good at the whole. Being human thing. Zenyatta finds it on his journey post Mondatta's death and take it along with him, assuming it a normal lost human. The dynamic from there would be Traveling Companions learning Humanity together, what it is to be Alive, to love and grow and change and what not. Deep stuff.

My Shambali Overwatch S/I is a human mechanic who ran away from home at a young age hoping to help Omnics and learn from Master Mondatta. He and Zenyatta are Childhood rivals to friends to lovers 10 year slow burn. (long fic series that one, the first of that is Here)

Without spoiling VLR, I imagine this S/I was the creator of GTM-CM-G-OLM and the other GAULEMs, maybe he's around the same age as K and the two use to hang out when he wasn't working. He probably takes way more interest in the GAULEMs than K though, so K remains the loneliest man in the world. Sorry K, this S/I is Robotsexual </3 GTM-CM-G-OLM is a very casual flirt and handsy, and this S/I is very easily flustered by physical affection from Hot Robot, so their dynamic is very sillie to me <3

🔪 F/E: Fictional Enemy, character I would fight with my self-insert

Oh I'm always ready to throw hands with Hanzo Shimada. Always. My S/I is Best Friends with Genji, he's basically my baby brother. When I get my hands on Hanzo he is getting a broken nose, wither that be what Genji would want or not. Hanzo takes and accepts it, it is his repentance.

Peeps in the Discord also know I have a personal Genji related Beef with Angela Zeigler as well. It is also very much On Sight with her and my S/I. I'm not letting her get away after seeing Blackwatch Genji, oooooh no ma'am, that is NOT how you build cybernetic prosthetics. We're gonna have some words

Genji doesn't like either of these beefs I have, he's forgiven Hanzo and is very grateful to Angela for saving his life and would really like me to do as Mondatta taught and let it go, forgive and move on, but I simply cannot. I am full of hate and rage for these two very specific people.

[mechanicalpiper]

love the relationship of mechanic and machine being repaired yknow

tinkerer taking a stopped up, broken mechanism, allowing the machine to stop fruitlessly attempting to function, slowly and carefully disassembling it

one side feeling the freedom of being in care, the release of finally having rest from a constant state of functioning- the other experiencing the intrinsic joy of learning more of the mechanism they're assisting, knowing they're letting it rest, giving it help where it needs it through delicate piecing apart and gentle yet thorough cleaning of the pile of parts this mechanism has allowed them to reduce it to, carefully piecing it back together so it can come out clear of what had been built up coming in

In Review: 2000AD presents… Mega-City Max (a 2000AD SciFi Special)

Available now, Mega-City Max is a brand new one-shot comic anthology, priced at £4.99, set in the dystopian world of Mega-City One

Available now, Mega-City Max is a brand new one-shot comic anthology, priced at £4.99, set in the dystopian world of Mega-City One, the home of legendary comic character Judge Dredd. We’re told Mega-City Max is aimed at teenagers, offering “fast-paced, action-packed and hilarious stories”. The talent involved is indisputably that, including stories by Hannah Templer (Cosmoknights), Ramzee (Edge…

Which among the OG four ninja do you consider besties?

Oooh that's tough cuz to me they have various different bonds with each other in different ways

Obviously I LOVE Jay and Cole's relationship, their friendship means the WORLD to me and I'm a Bruise shipper too so just. any interaction between Jay and Cole ever makes me so mushy

I also care a lot about Jay and Zane's relationship. The mechanic/robot relationships in stories always mean a lot to me, you have to put SO MUCH TRUST in someone to poke and prod at your insides to fix you up. It's something so intimate that I think about so frquently. And not just that, Jay was the one who kind of seemed to click with Zane in the early seasons, helping him understand humor and Zane being a "jay translator"

meanwhile KAI AND ZANE hoo boy. Kai was FUCKED UP when Zane died, like they all were but Kai literally throwing himself into fighting rings and taking up drinking?? hello??? he was DEVASTATED and I love it so much especially given the fire and ice dynamic. Ough. Waugh. yes

Obviously I love all them at all times but these three dynamics are proooobably my favorite? Idk they're all so good

[dirtysenner]

Ahem. Can you please make my TADC AU where they're cute little animals?

Pomni - kitty (Turkish van kitten)

Jax - bunny (chibi)

Ragatha - fox

Kinger - Mutt (Terrier Schnauzer mix)

Zooble - deer

Gangle - squirrel

Caine - mouse

Bubble - butterfly

Waugh sorry this took so long school started back up and build season did as well for my robotics team 😭

Characters belong to @gooseworx

Art reqs are open!

[elfdragon12]

Alright! Further about the new Transformers issue! What a way to wrap up the arc!

Past what was shown in the preview, we got this cool charge scene! Elita-1's alt mode is a sort of motorcycle-car hybrid?

Cliff is just not getting any breaks! I do love Devastator's expression.

NOOO! SWINDLE! MY BOY!

Optimus not making the same mistake twice! 😭😭 I love him!

Uh, just what were you about to say, Vortex?

Woof. I mean, Shockwave totally deserved this, but I can definitely see why these actions would bring corruption to the flashbacks of baby Spike.

(Is Shockwave dead? I will say probably. It looks like Optimus killed him, but DWJ is writing these guys as robots who can live through nightmarish amounts of punishment and we know some other characters aren't dead yet despite what we've seen. So maybe.)

"LET'S GO HOME" AND BY HOME HE MEANS EARTH! WAUGH, MY EMOTIONS!!

Man, Elita-1 has been experiencing, in real time, the continual death of her home. While killing another living planet full of people and animals is absolutely wrong, I get it. The pain and struggle of millions of years and there's a solution just right there. My heart breaks for her.

BEACHCOMBER, HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!! DWJ, YOU BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL MAN!!!

Another issue full of beauty, action, and heartbreak! What a way to revisit the "Ultimate Doom" episodes! There are more moments that I haven't shared here. I don't want to post the whole thing here to tumblr.

This was a really good issue and I am eager to see what the consequences are... Also, wondering where Cliffjumper is. Pretty sure he didn't die, but he wasn't with Optimus. We'll see!

With another year over, and we slowly descend into the dredd universe, what was the best and worst of the prog and meg?

Ahh, ol' buddy, ol' pal. Where would my year be without this list? Thanks for the excuse to go over the last year. Now let's see...

For the prog, I really enjoyed Brink, Intestinauts, Rogue Trooper: Souther Belle, Silver: Unearthed (my favorite all-new series of the year), All Aboard the Nova Express, The Out, Azimuth and two of the big Judge Dredd stories (A Better World and Machine Rule). The one-offs were good too, but I think I'm really aching for a big ol' Dredd epic right now.

Other that that, there wasn't anything terribly bad. I can't really get into Full Tilt Boogie, and the urban fantasy horror stuff like Herne and Shuck or Nightmare New York (RIP John Burns) just leaves me kinda cold. Deadworld is still drawn godlike but feels like its spinning wheels. The one kinda disappointment of the year was Rogue Trooper: When a GI Dies. A bit too much dialogue getting in the way of some real emotion.

Oh, and I fucking loved the Nordland Rising crossover thing, even though they killed Hershey again and made me watch it drawn by like three different artists. Which should go to show how much I enjoyed its manic, throw everything at the wall approach.

As for the Meg, started out a bit slow this year but really picked up when Dreadnoughts started. I fucking love how bleak that thing is. Also, Judge Dredd: Body Shots was hilarious, the 2099 flashbacks are a nice exercise, and I have a soft spot for Department K, even if they made a kind of robot Hershey who was evil and then died. Big fan of Pandora Perfect too, that one's just a good time.

In the meh stuff, I'm not crazy about Fargo & McBane other than the art but I appreciate the variety, I really don't care about Devlin Waugh and I haven't cared for a couple of years now and Harrower Squad is kind of a wash that could really use more exciting art.

I am excited for the new year tho'. Lawless, Death Cap and Rok of the Reds, which I haven't had a chance to read yet. That's gonna be the good stuff.

However, all that in mind, I do want to take a moment to mention maybe my favorite surprise bit of the year, which is the Durham Red pages in that Ennis/Flint Strontium Dog story in the Xmas prog. Because man... man.

I can't exactly put my finger on it, but those two pages were the single hottest, sexiest, most alluring thing in comics in the entire year for me. Just the absolute pitch-perfect picture of a random encounter in the dingy bathroom of a shitty nightclub with a 15/10 baddie who has something fucked up about her and you never see her again but you think about her for the rest of your life.

That one's gonna stay with me for a while, squaxx.

Starstruck

Well. People seemed surprisingly enthusiastic about my Billy/OC fic. Ask and I shall deliver!

You can also read the fic on AO3! I have a lot of ZZZ oc things in mind, and you'll be able to find them all in one place over there!

As fate would have it, the biggest Starlight Knight fan-droid in all of New Eridu meets one of the artists behind the series! Luckily for him, she finds him quite endearing (and honestly really hot).

Waterfall Soup was wrapping up lunch rush during bright and sunny afternoon on New Eridu’s Sixth Street. Its owner, General Chop, noticed the last customer of the hour from the corner of his eye. 

A young woman with deep purple hair and a turquoise varsity jacket held out her bowl, completely empty except for a small puddle of broth. 

The short, stout man with bright red skin exhaled a small laugh from his nose. “You don’t have to try handing me the bowl every time, Lydia. I can grab it no problem,” Chop insisted as one of his mechanical bamboo arms extended and swiped the bowl out of her hands. 

Lydia rolled her silver eyes with a playful smirk. “Well excuse me for wanting to be a considerate customer.” 

“Hey, now. I never said it wasn’t appreciated.” Chop grinned with a light shrug. “I’m guessing you’re gonna spend the rest of the afternoon on Sixth Street?” 

“That’s the plan!” The purple haired woman stood up from her seat, grabbing a silver tablet lying on the counter. “I wanted to browse Box Galaxy to see if they still have a figure in stock, and try sketching some of the cats that congregate around— here…” Lydia’s pleasant expression froze into slight concern. She unfolded her tablet’s keyboard case, shuffled through her small backpack, then used a stool to support herself as she crouched onto the ground.  

“… Is something wrong?” 

“Nothing too major, at least not yet,” Lydia bit her lower lip. “My tablet pen must’ve fallen when I got my food. It couldn’t have rolled off too far, do you think?” 

General Chop’s face scrunched up, unsure. “Do you have a clue what direction it went?” 

“Well… given I sat on the very end here, and pens like to roll in circles…” The woman traced a rounded line from right to left. “I’m guessing it’s down by the newsstand or arcade. I just hope someone didn’t pick it up or trip on it—“ 

“WAUGH!”

On cue, the loudest clang and crunch erupted from across the street. Most of the civilians nearby, Lydia and Chop included, covered their ears and/or slightly flinched. 

“What the— did someone drop an anvil or something?!” Long, purple waves swung side to side as Lydia tried to find the source of the noise. The only thing out of place were… a pair of legs sprawled out behind Howl’s newsstand. She couldn’t see who they belonged to, just the black jeans and slip-on shoes they wore— a lone silver knee pad on the right, nothing wrapped around it. 

General Chop inhaled through his teeth. “Definitely some heavy metal, I can confirm that much. That snapping sound doesn’t bode well, either.”

“It really doesn’t…” Lydia put her tablet back in her bag, swinging it across her shoulders. “Let me check it out. If they need to be propped up, can I bring them here?” 

The stout chef crossed his own arms, one of the bamboo ones giving a thumbs up. “You don’t even have to ask.” 

The woman nodded with a small salute before dashing across the street. She rested one hand on the newsstand building, the other stretched out to whoever fell down. “Hey, you ok? You need an ambulance or—“ 

The arm she held out fell slightly limp. 

In front of her, on the ground, was a robot. As real as real could possibly get. It wasn’t too rare to see androids around New Eridu— but not one roaming the city streets on their own! Aside from a body and face of jet black metal… they looked mostly human. Platinum white, synthetic hair styled up high and flashy, a bright red jacket with a small sheriff’s star pin, pale gray and shockingly toned abs— Wait, why did a robot have abs? Why was this guy (given the pretty masculine appearance) walking around practically shirtless? Not a complaint by any means, just… surprising. 

Lydia blinked, shaking her head. For the love of— don’t ogle someone’s abs when they might be knocked out! She stepped around, sitting on her knees to look the android over. No real nose or mouth… but the obvious eyelights shut off. Definitely not a good indicator. Pursing her lips together, Lydia tapped the android’s shoulders, then his forehead. Without any response, she exhaled a small, stressed huff. It felt weird to say, but robots had some sort of power button or something, right? Maybe he just needed to be turned back on again. 

Sure enough, Lydia spotted a large, golden button shaped like a diamond. Right in between jet black pecs and those silver abs. Her eyes widened, cheeks slightly flushed. “Oh no… don’t tell me…” She held a hand to her face, taking a deep breath. “It’s not weird! I’m just checking if the robot’s conscious. I’m not gonna fondle his chest, or anything like that! Just press the button and see if something happens. And hope I don’t reset him somehow.” 

Lydia shook out her hands, slowly moving one of them towards the button. Two fingers swiftly pressed down, instantly coming back to her chest. 

Finally, after agonizing seconds of anticipation, bright golden eyes flickered on. They narrowed in confusion and slight pain as the android sat himself up. “Woah, man. I did not expect to fall that hard,” He glanced behind him at the ground, an expressive voice coming from… somewhere. 

“Holy shit, it actually worked.” 

The robot’s shoulders jumped up slightly, his head whipping back around to see the source of the new voice. The first thing he noticed were two star-shaped clips holding up a small portion of dark purple hair, the rest in a low ponytail. Some loose strands around her forehead framed a lightly tanned face with dumbfounded, silver eyes. The kind of silver you’d see in the stars… 

Was this woman sitting by him the whole time?!

A jet black hand slowly rose up with a light wave. “Uh… hi.” 

Lydia waved back. “Hi. Are you… feeling alright?” 

“Yeah, I would say so.” 

“How far back can you remember?” 

“Huh?! Well… I don’t know if I can unpack all of that on the spot, but—“

“Oh thank god, I didn’t give you amnesia!” The purple haired woman nearly sunk into the street, her hands clasping at a purple tie wrapped in a loose bow at her chest. “I guess when you fell, you were unconscious for a minute— I just saw the button in the middle of your chest and prayed it might get you up and running again.” 

The android looked down at the said button, then back at his apparent rescuer. “So… you turned me back on?” 

THE PHRASING. Lydia inhaled tightly. “Yyyyep! That’s all I did though! I didn’t touch anything else, I swear.” 

“I mean, I don’t feel anything else… ‘xcept for my butt being a little sore.” 

“Ah geez, I can only imagine— hold on. You can… feel touch? You can feel pain?!” 

“Mhm. As you can probably guess, I’m pretty durable, so it takes a lot to actually hurt me. I usually wince out of surprise more than anything.” 

“I see… So you’re pretty sure you don’t have a concussion or anything?” 

“I don’t think I can get concussions.” Jet black fingers with crimson joints ran through platinum white hair. “But I appreciate the concern! Uh… Miss?”

The purple haired woman let out a small laugh. “All of this and I didn’t even tell you my name yet!” She pushed stray hair out of her face before offering out a hand. “I’m Lydia.”

“Lydia… that’s a pretty name,” The android nodded slowly, just kinda. Staring at her. 

“Um… Aren’t you gonna tell me yours?” 

“Oh, yeah! It’s Billy. Billy Kid.”

“Huh. Cuter than I expected,” Lydia muttered to herself as Billy finally shook her hand. Yep. That’s a robot hand if she’s ever felt one. A very firm… yet gentle grip. “Well, it’s nice to meet you, Billy! Here, let me help you back up—“ 

“No, no, I’m fine! I don’t want your arms to fall out from pulling too hard.” 

“Are you really that heavy? I guess you must be if your fall was so… loud…” Lydia paused as she realized she was back on her feet, Billy holding both of her hands. The only thing breaking the awkward silence was the soft whrrrrr of fans. 

Holy shit, he was tall. She only stood eye-level to the button on his chest… which was only inches away from her. Lydia did her best to look away and not seem so perverted— but in her defense, she noticed something. Slightly covered by his jacket was a small, yellow emoticon with a cartoony dead expression and blood spewing out its head, “HEADSHOT” written below it in sharp, capital letters. Guess that meant even robots could get tattoos? 

Only when Lydia looked up to see Billy gazing back down at her, he finally broke away. And by broke away, he shoved himself back with his arms practically flailing. “S-sorry about that!” 

“No, you’re good! You got me back up all on your own, I was just. Surprised it happened so fast.” Lydia rubbed the back of her neck with a sheepish laugh. “But don’t move around too much though. Tripping again wouldn’t be fun.” 

“You’ve got a point there… what did I even trip on, anyway?” The android looked back down on the ground to see… something thin and silver, perfectly split in two. Well, save for the microchips unsheathed. 

Lydia’s shoulders dropped. “Ah. That’s where my pen went.” 

“Wait— that’s yours?!” Billy immediately pressed his hands together over his head with a deep bow. “Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry!” 

The purple haired woman held out her hands in reassurance. “Hey, it’s ok! I’m sorry it made you trip!” Lydia kept a calm smile as she crouched back down and picked up the remains of her pen. “It sucks that it broke, but I can buy a replacement no problem.” 

Billy froze, hesitantly fidgeting with his hands. “Uh… how much would a replacement be? Admittedly I don’t have much money on me right now, but—“ 

Lydia pointed at him with one of the pen fragments, a pleasantly stern gleam in her eyes. “You’re not paying me back for an accident, mister. Not a single denny!” She looked back down at the pieces with a small shrug. “I can get one on my way back home later tonight. Guess I won’t get to sketch the kitties, though.”

The robot tilted his head, oddly doglike. “You draw?” 

“That I do!” Without much warning, Lydia turned on her heel towards the closest bench, motioning Billy to follow. While he hesitantly sat down next to her, she moved her backpack onto her lap, getting her tablet back out. Lydia patted closer to her as she handed him the device, the screen illuminated with all sorts of sketches of dynamic poses, casual passersby, and several adorably squishy bangboo. 

Awkwardness instantly melted away as Billy grabbed the tablet for a closer look. “Woaaaaaaaaah, these are all so good! Y’know, some of these poses kinda remind me of—“ Whatever he was about to say next was interrupted by the loudest gasp Lydia ever heard. He pointed at a series of sketches on screen, of several figures in superhero costumes and star-shaped helmets. “YOU’RE A STARLIGHT KNIGHT FAN TOO?! Holy moly, it’s like they’re living on the page!”

“Aww, thanks! I would hope I can draw them pretty well, considering that’s my whole job.”

The android dropped the tablet into his lap. “… Your job is to what?” 

“Oh— well, I’m a storyboard artist! Also an art director, but—“

“No way. No! Way! You’re Lydia Hatch?!” 

“You remember my name from the credits?!”

“Of course I do!” Yet again, Billy’s expressiveness radiated through his entire being. Sparkles practically grew off him as he grabbed Lydia’s hands together. “I can’t believe I’ve met a goddess of creation! I know this is super sudden but can I please have your autograph? You can do it right here! On my jacket! Anywhere’s fine!” Just like that, he took the jacket off, his metallic arms and torso in all their lean and shining glory. 

Lydia’s jaw hung open for. Several reasons. 

A hot robot man called her a goddess… Pretty damn good trade-off for a broken pen. 

Solid yellow eyes drooped just slightly as Billy sheepishly brought his jacket closer to his chest. “Uh… you ok? Sorry, was I too mu—“

“Oh— no, you’re fine!” His newfound goddess shook her head, shyly running her fingers through her hair. “I was just surprised by your enthusiasm— not in a bad way at all, though! I’m really honored you like my work on the series that much. I don’t want to get your jacket stained with ink, and I don’t have any fabric pens on me… but I can definitely jot down my signature real quick.” 

Lydia snatched her tablet off the robot’s lap, placing it back in her backpack. She rummaged through it for a moment, pulling out a small notebook and stationery case. Opening to a fresh page, then unzipping the case for a lining pen (the kind with actual ink this time), she sketched out line after line, shapes building rapidly on top of each other. 

Billy slowly scooched closer, peeking over her shoulder as he put his jacket back on. If watching her draw wasn’t enticing enough, the way those starlight silver eyes kept glancing up at him, and then back down at the notepad was… almost like a tease. 

It took him longer than he’d like to admit to realize who Lydia was drawing. “Is that… me?” 

“Yep! It’s not as clean as my usual stuff since this is more on the fly, but how could I not draw someone as striking as you?” 

She thinks I’m striking?! 

The gentle hum of fans whirred once more, Billy’s vision glazing over slightly as Lydia jotted actual writing down next to her quick portrait of him. She cleanly ripped out the page, offering it out to him with a dazzling smile. “Here you go!”

Metallic hands trembled, slowly reaching out for such an invaluable artifact. When he finally grasped the paper in his hands, Billy’s entire body began to vibrate from sheer elation. 

Lydia blinked, gripping the bench a little harder to prevent bumping off of it. “I’m… guessing that means you like it?” 

The android pressed the note to his cheek, snuggling it tightly. “I love it! I love it, I love it, I love it so much!! It’s like looking in a mirror! But even cooler! I’m gonna frame it as soon as I get back ho—“ Billy paused, pointing at the paper’s lower corner. “What’s all of this scribbled next to your autograph?”

Silver eyes shifted into an amused blank stare. “That’s. My phone number. Plus my internet and inter-knot handles.” 

“You’re giving me your contact information?!” 

“Of course! You’re very sweet and fun to talk to,” Lydia shrugged with a soft hum. “Plus, we’ve chatted for this long. I'd say it's the start of a friendship.” 

Some sort of sound escaped the robot man— it was hard to tell what kind, though. Billy quickly shoved a hand into his jacket, rummaging inside it before grumbling. “Ah, crap. Nicole hasn’t printed out new cards yet.” 

Business cards, perhaps? He actually worked somewhere? 

Lydia chuckled softly. “You don’t need to hand me anything that professional. Just shoot me a message letting me know it’s you.” 

“Oh… uh, ok! I can definitely do that!” Metallic hands gave confident thumbs’ up before flinching at a sudden burst of… the Starlight Knight intermission jingle? Billy whipped out a smartphone from small brown bag strapped to his leg, his eyes panicked for a moment seeing whoever was calling him. Nonetheless, he responded as cheerful as ever. “Yo, Boss!” 

“Billy, you were supposed to meet our client at the cafe 5 minutes ago!” Another woman’s voice, presumably this “Nicole” he mentioned, blasted from the phone’s speaker in frustration. “You didn’t sneak off to Godfinger again, did you?” 

“What? No, I’d never do that! … Again!” The android glanced down at Lydia, his other hand clenched slightly. “I just— I ran into something. And someone. But it’s settled now! I’ll head to the cafe asap.” 

“You better!” Nicole huffed before hanging up, leaving Billy to shyly scoot off the bench. 

“Uh. I gotta go…” 

“That’s fine! I wouldn’t want to keep your client waiting more than I already have,” Lydia snapped a finger gun with a small wink. “Good luck, ok?” 

Oh, if only someone could pinch Billy properly. He nodded his head rapidly before jumping off the bench. “If I’ve been blessed by a Starlight Goddess today, my luck is already through the roof!” He gave a small salute with his fingers, clearly copying the SK sendoff-pose. “I’ll send you a text as soon as I can!” 

“I’m looking forward to it!” Lydia waved as the android dashed for Sixth Street’s coffee shop. It honestly sucked he had to leave so soon… but watching him go was a pleasant surprise. 

The captivated smirk fell from her face when she actually processed her thoughts. Goddamn, when was the last time she was this attracted to someone?! Of all the people she’s been curious to date, the robot got her going the fastest? 

Lydia looked at the broken pen pieces in her bag, digging them back out. She laughed to herself, twirling a strand of her hair around her finger. “Well, I’ve always been into dorky studs.”

[heartorbit]

!!! You saw my ask! I’m v glad you liked the question and since you asked for ppl to share their takes on the charas I’ll give mine:

Rui as the fox was what started it all for me. Like “great shows can’t be made alone” and the fox talking about all the wonderful things that would happen if he were to be tamed… Rui’s craving for connection just fit the fox so well.

The other three I mostly chose for like, scenes/dynamics I wanted to see with them. So Tsukasa and Emu are the little prince and the rose respectively bc of their back-and-forth of *wild statement* *exaggerated frustration* but ultimately Tsukasa does want to take care of her (thinking of him calling her “our stubborn little princess” in his Smile of a Dreamer card story). And like the prince’s arc from running away from the rose because he can’t keep up with her requests before he realizes he needs to go back to her and Tsukasa’s begrudging assistance in the main story to swearing to help Emu save the stage.

And Nene’s the aviator for largely the same reasons: her and Tsukasa’s bickering just makes me think Nene would absolutely get fed up with Tsukasa insulting her sheep and just draw him a box instead. And her role as the “normal” one in the group also lends to it (emphasis on the quotes). She calls everyone in the troupe crazy for accepting a robot while she’s the one piloting the robot. She’s grown up, let go of being childish, but she’s still listening intently to the little prince’s story.

But like your casting is so so good! The longer I think abt it the more I love it. Like little prince Emu’s asteroid hopping is so perfect; she’s meeting all these grownups who care only about sums and wealth and other pointless things and it’s all just very odd to her. And Rui drawing the boa constrictor is heartbreaking. He’s trying to convey something through his art that nobody around him can understand… And Emunene being the little prince and the fox. They’re absolutely this quote from the fox: “Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow.” And the slow, deliberate process it takes to tame a fox, and how long it took to get Nene to come out of her shell while Emu constantly reached out to her; they’re adorable. And Tsukasa will cry and throw up if he isn’t special ur so right. Tysm for responding to my ask!

OOOOOOOOH MYJTJ IT'S SO CUTE I CRIED FOREVER I LOVE THESE SOMUCH THANK YOU FOR SENDING YOUR DRAWINGS I T____T emu rose is the cutest ever ever ever. i love YOUR CASTING SO MUCH. here i throw this before i go under a readmore to scream

YOURS FIT SO DAMN WELL. SO WELL

THE STUBBORN LITTLE PRINCESS LINE KILLLLLS ME IT KILLS ME YOURE SO RIGHT OAKYT AUUUUUUUWUUWU i take 800 years to respond to this both because i absolutely had to draw again for your cast and also i look at your beautiful drawings and i scream and kick my feet and grip my phone so hard it breaks into a million pieces

i;m so normal Your drawings are so lovely they feel right from a storybook ooouh nene as the aviator is really getting me. with how nene had to look back at her child self to rediscover what was so important to her passion for singing and it fits so well. waugh. """normal""" one for sure. but her loyalty is really fitting of both the aviator and the fox.. her and rui really are alike in the most dastardly heart crushing ways

rui as the fox. AH. I SHALL CRY. brother does he ever run the risk of weeping.. and just the abject boredom of the fox in its loneliness fits rui really well. after their fight in the main story how they approach rui more and more.. but you will sit a little closer to me every day..

your emu rose is so cute i can't get over it but i love this casting so much. i love how you connected the princes responsibility to the rose with the main story and their promise to save the wonderstage. Oh my god their stubborn little princess. THEIR STUBBORN LITTLE PRINCESS

i acknowledged that i just have emu favoritism severely when i gave them a casting but when i thought of her as the prince beyond whimsy i was thinking a lot of the ending, how the prince doesn't want the aviator to see him look to be in suffering and when says he can't return home and his body is too heavy.. the wonderstage being emus home where she wants everyone to always smile but also the place she's convinced she can't leave .. something something im not good at this. but with tsukasa i think that works equally as well because of how he shunned and ran away from it at first but at the end the wonderstage is where his heart really was and how he lets go of his old self. auuugh.

and for tsukasa as the rose and how emu finds his shows so dazzling even though he sees himself as one of hundreds of thousands of actors that he's not yet on the level of. but to emu he IS one of a kind. also because it is for her that i have killed the caterpillars (except she grabbed a caterpillar and shoved it into his face that one time but) sniffle. SNIFFLE. because it is she that i have listened to when she grumbled or boasted...

ok your little prince tsukasa is starting to kill me i AHGBHH you're singlehandedly making me want and need to reread the little prince again but ooh my god. my star will be just be one of the stars for you and so you will love to watch all the stars in the heavens (falls over) i shall look as if i were suffering i shall look a little as if i were dying do not come to see that (FALLS OVER)
