#don't even fucking get me started on butchering the iamos characters.

HMMMM 6 17 and 23 for whatever OCverse you want :0

6.) speaking of tv adaptations, why would yours get cancelled? (other than capitalism)

I'm going to count "being openly LGBT+" as falling under the capitalism thing because lets be real. that's mainly just capitalism

For In a Manor of Speaking, too much gore in something that's supposed to be rated 16 and up (sorry for amedeo being Like That a mans gotta kill you know how it is). Also might get cancelled for having WAYYYYYY too many plotlines happening simultaneously. I can keep track of it. Can you? maybe if i actually fucking mapped it out like i might start having to. this shit's complicated

I don't think The Deathspeaker would have a reason to get cancelled honestly???? I plotted it out when I was 15 and took a lot of inspiration from mainstream media I saw at that age so like ,,,,,,, I don't think there's much there to worry about. Unless you count Joe saying fuck like 5 times when he was only supposed to say it once for the PG-13 rating. I caved, saying it once wasn't enough

17.) describe the "required reading" to understand your vision. be as pretentious as possible.

The Deathspeaker is too easy it wears its inspiration on its sleeve because again I was 15, literally just play wizard101 and undertale that's it you're good

In a Manor of Speaking will require you to first read this 15 page essay I will be writing about common tropes and themes I like and you will need to read/watch/whatever many things so I can talk about how they inspired me and how I took those tropes and did something new with them, those things include The Owl House, Pathologic, OneShot, Undertale again thank you undertale, Deltarune, Doki Doki Literature Club, the Rusty Lake series, any play ever, The Deathspeaker (required because you will see so many overlapping themes I write the same shit over and over Joe and Amedeo are literally the same character in reverse but also not), Zero Escape (IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AN INSPIRATION FOR THIS SPECIFICALLY BUT THE THEMES. THEY MATCH), Filament, Pocket Mirror, Smile for Me, and The Stanley Parable. Or you can just. Do like 1 or 2 of those

23.) describe how everyones character gets butchered once in the public eye?

I SAY THIS SO MUCH BUT IT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY THAT ROWENA HAS ALREADY GOTTEN THIS TREATMENT I DON'T EVEN HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE FOLLOWING MY WORK THEY JUST DON'T GET HER LIKE I DO. My OCs are very complicated people and they are very much the victim of being reduced to 2 dimensional traits because they don't rattle around peoples brains like they do for me. Rowena was the first ever case of this. She's an awful person! She does awful things! She's also a really good person who cares so so so much! So she very quickly became either The Worst Person On The Planet or The Only Correct Person to people who have read the comic and were active in the old discord. And most of my characters are like this! That's also happened with Dara!

Joe also gets mischaracterized as simply a soft boy a lot and I can't even argue with it because I can't talk about his arc in detail all I can do is sit there and be mad. You don't fucking understand him like I do (<- literally hasn't explained him to anyone except like 2 people)
