Creator Spotlight: @66sharkteeth

66 is a comic artist and the creator of City of Blank, a WEBTOON original series. They worked in the game industry at companies such as 2K Games before entering the field of comics. They began their career in comics at Tapas, where they worked as an editor and lead typesetter, before being signed to create their own original series on WEBTOON.

Check out our interview with 66 below!

Have you ever had an art block? If so, how did you overcome it?

The short answer is yeah, I’ve definitely had one. Overall, I feel like doing a lot of style studies during that time and trying to use new brushes helps a lot. In addition, because I’m a comic artist, I feel like writer’s block is in the same field, and with that, I’m really fortunate that I have an editor that I can work with, who helps me a lot there. Whenever I am stuck at a plot point in my comic, I can always go to my editor, who helps me hammer things out.

What medium have you always been intrigued by but would never use yourself?

Animation. Of course, everyone loves animation. I went to school for game art and design and even did some animation courses, and I am just not cut out for it. I don’t enjoy the process, and I am not good at it. Animation is beautiful, and I admire people who can do it. I’d love for my work to be animated some day, I’m just not capable of being the one to do it haha.

Warm tones or cool tones?

It really depends on the scene! Especially in my comic, I really go with both of them, just depending on the moment in the comic. There was a major character death, and that scene was almost black and white. But normally, the comic is very vibrant, and people really like it, so when I switch it to a more cold tone, it makes the scene that much more impactful.

What is a recent creative project that you are proud of?

Honestly, my current comic, City of Blank, takes up 100% of my time. But recently, I did a plushie campaign where I worked with Makeship through Webtoon to design the plushies and do a little bit of marketing for them. So that’s fun and different from what I normally do!

When planning a comic or a story, what do you do first, character design or character outline?

Normally, I have a design, and I fall in love with the character design, and then I find a role for them. That’s how a lot of my characters have started. Also, that’s how I’ve been tackling new projects that I want to work on after City of Blank. I just came up with a character, and I’m trying to make a story around them.

What is a convention experience that has stuck with you?

Meeting readers and realizing how much my work means to some of them. Some of them have started their own comics, having been inspired by mine. Learning that I’m part of the reason they started their own comic journey, the same way I looked to other inspiring comic artists to start mine—it means the world that I’m in that position now.

Top tips on setting up an Artist Alley booth?

Let’s see…bright, sparkly colors! I think just trying to make sure that the booth is eye-catching. I ended up making a big shiny banner for New York Comic Con, and I know many people stopped by because it caught their eye and they’re curious about what it is. I know a lot of people are selling merchandise of popular media. Even just a banner of your brand to get them curious about who you are and maybe interested in seeing what you make and taking a business card so they can look you up later. It’s better than someone just buying a pin and forgetting you exist. Lastly, put out a tip jar. You never know just how generous your fans are feeling.

Who on Tumblr inspires you and why?

I’m mostly involved in the webtoon sphere! I am definitely inspired by my fellow Webtoon creators, @lark-wren, who created the series Woven. I love their work and seeing them interact with their readers on Tumblr. Same with fellow Webtoon creators, @miranda-mundt-art and @astrobleme-enterprises, who created Lovebot.

Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing, 66! Be sure to check out their Tumblr blog over at @66sharkteeth and follow their webcomic, City of Blank, over at��WEBTOON.

[Jump to the Episode Master List]

Nap time! Thank you everyone for your continued support and interaction! I adore it and it adds so much more to the AU than you could know. This is a heads up on some minor down-time for the blog while I rest up and prepare the next episode.

Notes and asks are still open and encouraged during this time! Bored and want to chat? Send me a message!

To see some WIP, storyboard previews, doodles, shitposts, and other projects I’m working on, along with a healthy amount of 3am memes, head over to my trash fire blog, Ceephor’s Shit Show. The "pink onyx au" tag will filter everything for you, along with showing you fabulous fan art made by others that I just love to pieces.

Speculation and theories are encouraged! The comic is designed as close to the show’s logic as I could muster, which means many secrets are staring right at you, provided you know what to look for! Just be kind to one another.

Comic FAQ:

What is this? Pink Onyx AU is a Steven Universe AU focused on interactions between Steven and Jasper and is intended to be read after you have finished Steven Universe Future, as it contains many many spoilers for the series. If you have watched it already, great! Welcome! The goal is to bring you a Jasper redemption arc that we couldn’t get due to time and cooperate restraints on the Crewniverse. I hope you enjoy!

I do not own these characters or their likenesses except for the single fluffy thembo fusion I created for the story. This is just a fan comic.

Comic is PG-13 for some angsty themes, minor blood, violence, and gem-cussing.

When do you post? Typically when you see this post pinned, I’m on a bit of a break, but when Nyx wakes up (this post goes away) the comic is due to be released 1 page at a time at 7am EST most days. I try for a daily release. Sometimes I skip a day if I’m behind. Episode release dates are always announced ahead of time by a few weeks.

Is this a romantic ship AU between Jasper and Steven? Nope, more like an aunt and her nephew trying to figure it all out. No romance between these two here.

Is your Tapas updated at the same time? Nope, tumblr comes first, and the tumblr will always have bonus content which Tapas will not. The Tapas for this updates after the tumblr version is completed. Usually same day or within a day.

Curious about the characters? Check below the cut for more a detailed FAQ about the inner workings of the story. Love you all! See you soon! 🧡💕❤️

FAQ’s about the characters generated via interactive asks:

What kind of fusion is Pink Onyx? Are they good or bad? Pink Onyx is a fusion of a protagonist and an antagonist, so their alliance is yet unknown, but they have Steven’s good heart and Jasper’s loyal nature. They also have Steven and Jasper’s flaws, so they can be volatile and emotionally explosive at times, too.

What are Pink Onyx’s pronouns? Onyx likes they/them, but also answers to he/him and she/her, especially when Steven or Jasper is dominant over one another. They also seem to take on a fluid role and prefer a she/her when in a caretaker status. They dislike it/its.

What does Pink Onyx sound like? Personally, I hear them as a youthful, masculine tone. Like Steven if a little older. But I also enjoy when people say they hear them as a gruff, Amazonian-type feminine. I enjoy and endorse both.

Do Jasper and Steven enjoy being fused to one another? For now, it is a struggle, but they enjoy what the other brings to the fusion even if they won’t say it.

Does Pink Onyx need to eat and do human things? If so, do they enjoy it? They don’t need to do them, but they do feel the discomfort without them. Things like breathing, eating, and sleeping are optional for Onyx, but they will become quite irritable if not allowed to do them. They greatly enjoy sleeping and trying new foods.

What does Jasper think about having human organs when fused? She’s pretty grossed out by the idea of organic matter going into her mouth and coming out of other places. The heart beating and lungs breathing she can feel for the first time, and it is highly strange for her to experience.

What is Pink Onyx’s favorite food? They adore anything watermelon flavored and Cookie-cat ice cream products

Does Pink Onyx have any special fusion powers? They do, and as they learn about themselves, more powers seem to come out. Each of their base component appears to be enhanced in a unique way. They have Pink Diamond at their core, so the destructive potential is also there.

Why is Steven hiding Pink Onyx from others? This AU occurs directly after the events of "I Am My Monster", so Steven is very emotionally, and mentally, raw. He fears judgement for running back to Jasper, who in the past, was part of so much trauma he already endured.

Pink Onyx seems to know nothing about human culture and gem culture despite being a fusion. What’s going on? Jasper and Steven agreed to fuse, but they have yet to open up to one another about much else. The fusion exists because they agree to do so, but Jasper won’t open up about her emotions, and Steven is so sensitive yet that he is not sharing because he knows Jasper won’t want to hear it. This causes Onyx to be unable to access both of their memories easily, but they can bring it out with enough effort.

give me love and compassion

Pairing: Daniel Ricciardo x fem!reader Words: 986 Warnings: Fluff, mentions of Danny's mental health struggles (minor and no details) Request: FaceTime A/N: been calling this the hoodie fic of dreams because I literally dreamt this scenario lol

title from First Aid Kit's Angel

---

She was trying her hardest to stay awake. It had been a long week in a row of long weeks dealing with rich people's problems and she was exhausted. Her phone buzzed on the couch, and she looked away from the cooking show to look at the notification.

Watcha doin? 

She smiled at the message from her boyfriend and typed a quick reply. He was currently in Austin for work and she missed him terribly. She lowered the phone but it immediately started buzzing again with an incoming facetime call.

“Hey baby,” Daniel said with a smile.

“Hey you,” she replied, snuggling into the pillows on the couch and pulling the blanket even further up.

“How was work?” he asked and she saw him moving to a quiet area of the garden he was in. She pulled the hood of her hoodie over her eyes and groaned.

“Rich people are just the absolute worst sometimes,” she muttered. Daniel laughed at that. He allowed her to rant about how it had been non-stop dealing with entitlement today and how her colleagues were sometimes just as bad as her clients because they had grown up in similar circles. When she brought up the almost daily urge to quit her job, he was quick to reassure her he would support her no matter what she decided. It was one of the things she loved about Daniel: he would always offer her support but ultimately left her to make her own decisions. 

She watched him interact with some of his friends off camera. Seeing him so free and with a constant smile made her heart so very happy. The last two years had been tough on him and there was a moment where she feared she’d lose him to the darkness of his thoughts for good. But no matter how deep he had sunk, she’d never considered walking away. It wasn’t in either of their natures to give up when things got tough. Instead she’d been there, always just a phone or facetime call away to push the clouds away and let in some sun for him. And she knew that he would do the same for her in a heartbeat.

“You look cosy, babe,” he commented as he redirected his attention to her, smiling this loving smile that always gave her butterflies. 

“I am. This hoodie is so soft and warm. My boyfriend designs great merch,” she replied. 

“He sounds like a real catch.”

“Eh, he’s alright.” She laughed when she saw him pout. “Just kidding, he really is. I think you’d like him.” 

“Would I now?” There was a twinkle in his eye and she could hear the laughter in his voice.

“Mmhmm, he’s also Australian, has these stunning brown eyes and soft curly hair; perfect to run my fingers through when we watch films together. People always think he’s an extrovert, but he’s just the gentlest soul,” she rambled, feeling her lips tug up in a smile. “I love him a lot.” 

“I think he loves you just as much if not more,” Daniel replied, voice quieter so only she could hear him, a softness in his eyes that conveyed just how true that statement was. 

“I miss you,” she all but whispered after they were quiet for a moment.

“Miss you too, baby. But we’ll see each other soon. You’re still coming to the next race, right?” She nodded in reply. Daniel looked away as one of his friends called out to him.

“Have you had dinner yet?” he changed the subject as he walked over to where his friends were sitting.

“No, was too brain dead when I got home. Think I might just prepare Italian tapas and have that for dinner,” she said, groaning as she got up from the couch and made her way over to the kitchen. Daniel laughed at that and sat down at a picnic table. She rested her phone against a vase on the kitchen island and opened the fridge. 

“Don’t let Carlos hear you! Hey, wanna have company for dinner? Eddie is just about finished grilling some burgers on the BBQ for lunch,” he suggested. 

“That sounds great,” she said and pulled out some of the packets of cured meats and cheeses they always had on hand. Daniel chatted to his friends as she prepared herself a platter of fresh fruits and antipasto, including her in the conversation as much as possible. It had become a kind of ritual when he was away where they’d facetime and have food together, even if the time zone difference made it nearly impossible at times. More often than not it would just be one of them having breakfast or dinner while the other drank coffee or had a snack. At the time it had been to make sure he wouldn’t let the negativity of the press consume him, but today she was the one who needed someone to push clouds away. 

She had carried her food out to the balcony and ate while the sun slowly set. From their apartment they had a great view of the Mediterranean Sea and the both of them loved to just sit here and watch the sunset. 

“You look much happier, babe,” Daniel commented as he took a drink from his water. His friends had left them alone so Daniel could say goodbye before they’d go do something Texan. 

“Mm, I feel much happier too. Thanks Danny,” she replied. It wasn’t a lie, she felt much lighter than when she’d just come home. 

“I love you,” Daniel said, blowing her a kiss.

“Love you too, babe. See you soon.” Daniel kept making kissy faces at the camera, making her chuckle, until she disconnected the call. Putting the phone down, she sighed contently and let the last rays of sunshine warm her face in the same way the call with her boyfriend had warmed her soul.

3.57 The resort

Winter arrived, and I couldn't even tell. The pleasantly warm temperature was the same as every other day that week, like autumn in San Sequoia, and I loved it. At least it didn't rain, though. I in no way had any regrets about moving in with Sophia, but I missed San Sequoia a lot—a whole lot. There was just something about that colorful town that resonated with me. With any luck, we could move back one day, but for now, Oasis Springs was my dusty new home.

Good thing I didn't have a traditional job, or otherwise Sophia and I would struggle to find time together. Not only did she work an early shift, but also she worked on weekends and had two random days off in the middle of the week. But that also meant I'd only have a few hours each day to get everything I needed to get done before she got home if we wanted to maximize our time together. I could have gone back to San Sequoia to host a class or two, but I used the time to shop for a few items for the house and put up my pictures. I was no design diva like Mama, but I hoped Sophia would be pleasantly surprised when she walked through the door.

After the decor adventure, I went for a jog, and would you believe it rained after I had just given Oasis Springs props for not raining on me? Rude. Maybe the latter part of the year was just rainier everywhere in general and I never noticed until now.

Next to our house was an empty lot, and even though I'd jogged past it a few times, it stood out that day and got me thinking. How much would it cost to build a very small, very basic studio? The question intrigued me so much I canceled my second lap and went back home to do some research. The price of the land was relatively cheap, which meant the lot taxes would probably be low as well. So far, I had no reason to not consider this path, but I tucked the idea away for another time because I became distracted by learning about a spa resort right here in Oasis Springs. The resort, named Desert Bloom Spa Hotel, was conveniently located near our neighborhood. I still had a few more hours before Sophia got back, so I went to check it out.

I had only entered the lobby and already fell in love with the place. It was so clean, modern, and peaceful. Maybe one day Sophia and I could do a weekend getaway—a staycation of sorts. Well, definitely not on the weekend, but you know what I meant. I found someone who worked there and asked if I could look around, and to my surprise, she volunteered to take me on a tour and began in the dining room, which was just across the breezeway from the front desk.

They served continental breakfast, snacks during the day, and tapas at night. At the heart of the facility, there was a sprawling fountain that spanned almost the entire length of the spa. The poolside bar was pretty big too. Tables and chairs were scattered all around the fountain, giving plenty of room for everyone to hang out and chill over a nice drink.

They even had a two-level gym with enough machines to accommodate nearly anyone wishing to workout during their stay. Not even my gym in Newcrest had that many machines. This place was really growing on me, and I wondered if I could frequent it without a reservation.

Up next were the residential suites. We couldn't go in them, of course, but they were duplex style, side-by-side suites that mirrored each other. They shared a common pool, and I got to peek inside a little from the patio door. They looked nice enough inside. I think we could be happy there for a few days--not that we'll be sitting around looking at the wallpaper, heh.

The yoga area was outside across from the suites and pool, and MAN I was so inspired. I rarely thought about opening my own yoga studio. Honestly, it was yet another one of Mama's ideas that eventually bored its way into my subconscious. But sometimes the idea was strong enough that it felt like it came from my own mind, and I really wanted to do it. Looking at their setup gave me so many ideas for how I could craft mine when the time came.

Hopefully, they also had an indoor facility because it started raining again. I would hate to be a paying customer who wasn't able to take any classes because of the weather. Watcher forbid they still carried on, regardless. I asked my tour guide if they ever did guided meditations and explained I was a yoga instructor myself and led guided meditations in San Sequoia. This intrigued her, and she promised to discuss it with the owner.

Turns out they didn't have an indoor yoga room, but the meditation room was upstairs. The spa rooms were also upstairs, but my tour guide didn't let me go in for obvious reasons. But she said there was a sauna, two tables inside, and multiple massage chairs on the upper deck. The lobby for the massage rooms was just as clean and peaceful as the front desk, so I knew the service rooms would be too.

I was so wrapped up in the tour I didn't realize the time. Sophia had already arrived home, and I missed the opportunity to show her the things I bought. True, she could see them as soon as she walked in, but I wanted to be the one to show her. But in Sophia-like fashion, she began raving about how much she loved the rug and blinds as soon as I walked in.

Luckily, she hadn't seen the other room yet, so I got to show her the couch for the office, and she loved that too.

"Thanks for moving the desk and fitting the couch in there. I know it's not easy getting things in and out of here."

It was no trouble. After all, I was a very strong man, heh.

I joined her on the couch and asked about her day. Thankfully, it was much better than yesterday but still kind of meh. I guess that's the answer a lot of sims gave since it was so common to work a job one didn't love. I wanted better for her and didn't enjoy seeing her live a mediocre life. Hopefully, one day my yoga business would be so good she wouldn't have to work if she didn't want to. I just wanted her to be happy.

The conversation reached a lull, and she took the opportunity to change the subject and ask me a very serious question.

"So how are you feeling about living here?"

To be continued...

The resort is a golden oldie by @jenba!

Ruinous Fortune

If I were to quickly sum up the warm and fuzzy nostalgia I have for the Ruinous Fortune artstyle, it would be a mix of Dark Crystal Jim Henson muppets and the theatrical fantasy stylings of 80’s fantasy blockbusters (which I know is a little bit of a full circle if I were to put those two in a venn diagram, but bear with me). It’s a high fantasy that has a wide cast of unique creatures, each with fluid expressions and well developed stories.

You can read it on Webtoon, Tapas, and on it’s website here:

https://ruinousfortune.com

https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ruinous-fortune/list?title_no=565787

https://tapas.io/series/Ruinous-Fortune/info

The plot follows Gael Fortuna, who’s adoptive Father just happens to be a horrible, terrible, demon king, and so she is making an attempt to flee his house. Along this dangerous path of rebellion, we meet all of Gaels friends who come both big and small.

Did I mention Gael has an adorable swishy tail? This is important to me as a reader, so I hope it is also important for you.

(this is Minmo, a little hamster/fairy that I would die for, I love Minmo and I will not hear otherwise.)

The art is colorful and consistent, with pops of bright neons and moments of bold style decisions. Some character designs just really hit the nail so well, that I love every moment they are on screen, even if it just so happens to be a horrible villain wearing those designs (the best kind of villain, tbh)

Without exposing too much of the plot, I’m looking forward to some scenery shredding and lovely action sequences down the road. I find myself wanting to see more and more of this unique magical world that SnowWraith has created, and I recommend you spend a few afternoons reading through and admiring a story that is both whimsical and heartbreaking, too.

[jitterbugjive]

I was on Belfry and saw that My Magic Grandpa was gone. I am sorry to see that. I was enjoying it. I hope that you can get the mess sorted out soon.

It's wrong to attack you over something six years past.

I'll explain what's going on now since I got a reply and it doesn't look like this can be fixed.

My comicfury account was banned over things I said and did over 6 years ago offsite, and they won't let me appeal the ban because they don't want to take chances on what I could be capable of.

I'm in a ton of shock right now because I put so much love into those comic websites, and I have no idea where to go from here because Tapas and Webtoons both suck so bad. I'm not going to lie, I'm so disheartened about all of this that I'm questioning the point of living. I'm not saying I'm suicidal, I don't want to die, but I don't see a point in things any more.

So yes. My life's work, my dream, has been pretty much destroyed and I'm scared I'm just going to be chased out wherever I go all because I had the shittiest mindset after getting out of a really long abusive relationship that involved grooming me since I was 13. My abusers ruined my life, they ruined who I was, I could have avoided all of this if I'd just had healthy friend groups and people to teach me the proper right and wrong viewpoints.

I'm extremely heartbroken and bitter that the internet is designed in such a way that if you make mistakes in the past, no one will let it go.

[ Sour Twist: Adults ]

Full Resolution on Patreon I tried to give each adult a different signature when writing their names n to have them sorta show off each characters personality XD

Each of them were a lot of fun to design and I'm so happy with their turn out. Look below for more info on the characters and their designs :3

Updates will be posted on my [ Twitter ] or my [ Tapas ]

Once the story is up for reading, it'll be posted here [ ScViNuzlocke: Party of Three ] which will hopefully be on a coherent schedule QwQ

Charlie Citrus: I fucking love how huge Charlie looks compared to them! I love my big Papa oc, hes so fun to draw and so huggable! Especially since Im much more comfortable drawing him too. I was going to give him a new outfit, but I love the very dad look I already gave him, so sadly no outfit change XD

Donna Proper: With Prima's mother I wanted her to look pale, and the cold tones help with that, especially since she's a sickly character, so her outfit ended up being the most plain too, so I thought giving her hair a nice smooth shape with three brighter colors helped make up for that, while also giving her a bright pink shall to add a warmer tone.

Jessica Evelyn Trevithick: Jess is my sister's oc for the RP we're doing together, so she only had the games customization to go off of, but I still tried to give her some flare rather than solely go off the game versions. Since Jess is from Sinnoh as a former champion I thought a little late that it'd be a good idea to give her a scarf like the protags from DP

Prof. Ingo Trevithick: Since Paldea is based on Spain, I like the idea of Ingo getting a tan which looks weird compared to how pale he usually is. I also changed up his teacher design to still keep some old elements with his coat shoes n hat, but still tried to make it look fresh and new. There are alotta good designs for Ingo after he returns, so I wanted mine to not look too similar.

Champion Emmet Trevithick: For Emmets champion outfit, I thought giving his more gray tones would held separate him from when he was a subway boss while still keeping some elements. His coat, while wearing it as a cape, is for more as a dramatic entrance than something he's always wearing now. Also gave him Victini bc they just suit eachother XD

[cursed-saphire-hart]

[ Sour Twist: Party of Three ]

Finally finished the Refs of my kids! They ended up looking really good too, so I'm VERY glad I took the time to work them out. I'm putting the designs under the line so that it's not too long. I've never managed to do more than until now, so I'm very proud of my self for managing for three separate characters. Another part I was busy putting together is a bio and showing their pokemon Teams as I progress. I'm also Nuzlocking for this to make captures and battles more random. As I progress through the Rp and Nuzlock, I'll be sure to post Team Updates for each capture and so on. Since me and my sister are writing for the Rps, the updates will come once I post the Fics to read Course you can also see that stuff on Patreon early XD

Team Updates will be posted on my [ Twitter ] or my [ Tapas ] and the adults will be posted this Sunday the 5th.

I had a lot of fun with both the posing, color schemes and designing the outfits. I had to make a lot of small adjustments to get everything looking right, and it was so worth it!

More Info on [ Tapas ] and [ Twitter ] I tried to make their uniform customization match up with their personalities too, as well as the kinda pokeballs they would be most likely to use.

[ School Bio and Team ]

For Prima I tried to give her a ballet pose to show her love of dancing and the strong connection she had with her Partner PKMN Jeal Paul. I went through a few ideas for her outfit, but decided simple would be best, since she only dressed up for when she's going out to avoid having her pretty clothes getting ruined.

[ School Bio and Team ]

I had alotta fun figuring out Sarah's color scheme in particular since I wanted colors that complimented the bright yellow I always use, especially when designing her work out clothing, and I think I nailed it. All the kids have the snap on skates ( gift from Prima's mom ) but I thought it'd be better to just draw one set to avoid taking up too much space.

[ School Bio and Team ]

Zephyrs Driflim Coat! This was my favorite thing to design! Ghost pokemon have such great colors aaaaaah! XD

Zephyr's also the one who lugs around the food cooler since he's bigger, he's also usually the one to do the cooking and ect bc he's that travel member and he enjoys cooking. Also his ghost pokemon haunts her ball : P

N those are all the designs for now :3c

[practically-an-x-man]

✨🍕🧊🍀💎 for Ophelia and Rae?

Thank you so much! I hardly ever get to talk about Rae for these things (nothing malicious, just that so far none of my writer-friends have read A Love Once New bc it's so long, so nobody really knows her lol)

Under the cut for space :D

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

Ophelia: Her full name is Ophelia Jo Octavius. Ophelia was chosen to give her the alliterative O's, connecting her to her father, but also for Hamlet's Ophelia (the literature connecting her to her mother, but also to hint at her tragic story and self-sacrificing attitude). Her middle name is Jo after Jo March - just Jo, not Josephine, a tiny detail that separates her from other multiversal versions of her. Plus, another literary reference.

Rae: Her full name is Rachel Ayla McKinney. I didn't pick Rachel for anything other than her using Rae as a nickname, but the name Rae means "protector" (connecting to her personality and shielding abilities). Ayla connects to her grandmother, a mutant with the same abilities she eventually develops (foreshadowing for ALON, since it starts before Rae gets her mutation). And McKinney is just bc she's Scottish lol, no deeper meaning besides that.

🍕 - What is their favorite food?

Ophelia: This one and the next one were answered here for her

Rae: She's traveled a lot, so she's stumbled into a lot of really good food that she couldn't recreate if she tried. I think her favorite was genuine tapas in Spain, split with a bunch of school friends while living abroad. Though Scotch eggs are a nostalgia food for her, and simple enough to make from home (wherever home may be at the time), so that's another favorite

🧊 - Is their current design the first one?

Rae: Not at all. I've had her for a long time now, she was one of my first OCs, and about the only things that have stayed constant are 1. The fact that she gets her mutation from Apocalypse, 2. Her power being linked to silver light, and 3. her saving Warren from the plane crash. Everything else, her name, her backstory, the rest of her story leading up to the fight in Cairo, came later.

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

Ophelia: I watched No Way Home at least three times in theaters. The first time was just enjoying the movie with my friends, the second time was looking for details with my family, but the third time was when I started to get the idea for Ophelia. She was inspired mainly on the concept of a couple being flung together during No Way Home, then separated when the multiverse is repaired. Once I got that far, the details of her as a character (particularly her as Otto's daughter) came from rewatching Spider-Man 2 and being reminded of what a sweet couple Otto and Rosalie are. Giving them a daughter just fit everything into place so perfectly.

Rae: Like I said, I've had her for a long time now. I think the very first inklings of her were before I even knew what OCs/fanfic/etc. were at all, and her story was just a little daydream when I was bored. Once I started actually choosing to write her story, I wanted her to be a fireball from the beginning - impulsive and reckless and stubborn, to contrast Warren being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

Ophelia: Technically I did... it's how she gets into No Way Home, she dies in a laboratory explosion back in 2016 and gets flung to the new timeline with the events of the movie. But would I kill her again? Hm... only for fun whump side-pieces, not in her main fic. She's been through enough already.

Rae: No. Like Ophelia, she's been through a lot and deserves a break, but she's also too stubborn to die lol

Headcrew (the RL Backstory)

Okay, so I'm going start sharing something that's a bit emotionally tough for me. A dear friend, by the moniker of Bieeanshee, and I started up a little webcomic we called Headcrew. It was based on a series of story segments she wrote about going through the experience of being trans and anxious and life being a butt; sort of a writing exercise. The cast consists of a central character and a series of tulpa-like roommates; physical manifestations of aspects of her personality.

We decided to turn the writing exercise into a comic; I did character designs based on her descriptions, we collaborated on scripts and comic roughs and character lines and interpretations; and eventually, finally, we created the webcomic and started posting it to Webtoons & Tapas.

Then, she passed away.

I miss her so much.

I'd like to share what we worked on together: At least as far as we got, at least the scripts we worked out and set up as a backlog together. For her. And for me.

Here are the book covers I made for the comic.

I'll start sharing more when I can manage.

Edit: Just realized I can edit posts:

I'll be sharing more stuff here, but if you want to jump in, it's there on Tapas too.

Hi! I'm a baby-screenwriter and have been learning HUGE amounts through reading Netvor, both on tapas and webtoon. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading both and greatly appreciate your narrative style and approach to the scenes (and holy wow the character development-- both in visual and narrative design! Sorry, fangirling...) I was curious if you've ever turned or considered turning this into a screenplay? (I know that Panna E Netvor exists, but I wanna see this one!!!)

Omygod! Thank you!!?? Sorry I'm working through my asks VERY slowly- and good on you! Screenwriting is such a particular style of writing and its not easy to be good at ^^ and thank you so much!! That's a huge compliment, tho I'm not technically done the revisions for Netvor yet! My first task would be to publish it as a book if I can (maybe even an audiobook one day 80) butbid never totally rule out any option. I just have such a love for the batb fairytale, I could do it a hundred times and not get tired of it ^^

I’m not back… yet

So that January return didn’t work out did it? But never fear! I do have an update <3

Firstly and less excitingly, I’ve officially retired Lithaira and her friends. I actually did this IRL like midway through last year and ran this blog on buffer content until I went on hiatus. I made their story when I was in my high school years, and now as an adult I’ve outgrown what I did with it. I still love a lot of what I did, so I’m keeping my favorite parts and tucking them away for another project (not the one I’m currently working on). But those four and this world is retired now, and I’ll be adding a Retired tag to all their posts.

With that out of the way, time for the fun part! That new project I’m working on that sent me into hiatus in the first place! I’m not ready to reveal any details yet, but I’m almost there! What I can say is that this new project is going to be a serially published novella. My plan is one update a week for about a year. With a couple of pre-planned breaks between acts. I’ll be posting here on this blog of course, and also on Tapas! I’m aiming for an early spring release, so late March/early April.

I plan on posting updates and actual details to this blog soon! Just gotta get all my ducks in a row before I do lol. The only thing left for me to sort out before I start revealing stuff is my antagonist and a final plot revision. I’m pretty much set on everything else <3 In the meantime, you can find me on my other blogs if you’d like to see what I’m up too!

@painted-fanbird is my fan blog! This is where I post fanart and headcanons and whatever incomprehensible feelings I have about media that is not my own. The content I post here is not consistent, it’s literally just whatever is in my brain at any given moment lol. I usually post here about once a week!

@reblogging-blackbird is my reblogging blog! This is (obviously) where I reblog stuff, so if you want to see what I’m thinking about, see some cool art (like @meroaw’s OCs and Warriors designs, and @lilianade-comics delightful slice of life (with a dash of family drama) and crafting webcomic) and read my riveting commentary in the tags, this is where to do that!

That’s all I’ve got for now, but expect to hear from me again soon! With actual updates ;)

I love your brujitos so much their designs are so fun!! Is there gonna be a separate blog where you post them or will they be on this blog still?

Eeee! All my Brujito art goes here in the art blog! My comic itself when I start publishing it will most likely go on my Tapas and webtoons!

But thank you so much! Im glad you enjoy them! 🥺💖
