official post about Child's inspiration

Child has many small and large parts with her inspiration, such as from myself, history and TV shows I have watched during the time I made her. So I will separate the entire thing into multiple parts.

Warning: historical moments that may not be comfortable to read, military stuff, childhood indoctrination and abuse and spoilers for The apocathary diaries and Demon slayer season 2. Although it's not THAT much on spoilers i just wanna be safe :P.

2. Her role.

Child is a wanderer, yes, but her main role is a helper. This is because of one specific line from dream bbq

Hoarder Alex calls Ena a "courtesan." Yes, this is most likely just him calling her a whore in a polite way, but I recognized the word from a show I watched: demon slayer. When I watched it and got to season 2, I was super interested in the history of courtesans, and in addition: kamuros

Child is based on two historical roles: a kamuro, and a lady in waiting.

Both of those would wait hand and foot for their mistress, running errands and having loyalty.

Kamuros would call the courtesans in charge of them "big sister." They would run errands for their big sister, and she would take care of them in turn. Kamuros would find clients for their big sisters, and were quite cunning when it came to getting information. They were considered the eyes and ears of the red light district, they gossiped and joked with people, and would spy on clients to make sure he wasn't seeing another courtesan.

Many kamuro were eager to grow up and become a courtesan, associating the role with beauty and being loved and wealthy. These girls were obsessed with the idea of being beautiful, and practically indoctrinated into wanting the glamour of their big sisters, not realizing, or maybe not acknowledging the horrific parts of being a courtesan.

Ladies in waiting were also to serve their mistress, although they tended to be older and have different responsibilities (less cleaning, more information gathering and advice giving)

Child's entire role, similar to how Bbq Ena is obsessed with jobs and working, is serving. She feels it's instinct to listen to authority, to wait on others and help in any way she can. It's uncomfortable for her when people try and coddle her, she NEEDS to do something. It's why she lives in trash, so she can destroy it and then clean it all over again.

If she isn't working, helping and aiding then she feels like something is dreadfully WRONG.

Another thing is cabin boys. Cabin boys were young boys or men who did roles similar to kamuros, they cooked, cleaned and ran errands on the ship

2. Personalities.

Child has two main personalities: guilty and giddy. Giddy is easy to say, as she was simply based on the zenos from dragon ball super

While guilty? That's a whole rollercoaster.

Guilty is based on myself as a child, and specifically a certain scene from demon slayer (I tried to find a video, but YouTube took it all down, so I just have pictures)

Warabihime, or daki, treats her kamuros horribly. In this scene, she had told her kamuro to clean her room, yet when she came back, it wasn't clean. She reacted violently, yelling at the child and hurting her.

This made me think back on how I was a child, and how I reacted when things like this happened. And so- that's how Child's guilty side was decided on. She becomes terrified and the giddy side of her face melts off as she cries and begs for forgiveness. She's loud, terrified and frantic. She CANT calm down no matter how much people try to make her do so, she flails around like a dying fish and feels like the world is ending: even if it's something small.

3. Design

I based child's design on Japanese middle schoolers uniforms, and also sailors.

Sailors are known to have cabin boys, which is one of her role inspirations so I don't think I need to elaborate again lol.

The Japanese students in middle school tend to wear sailor uniform styles. Her hair is based on a yokai watch character lol

Her socks are based on how many young girls in Japan wear those, and they tend to be associated with rebellious young girls going against the rules (which connects to child's guilty personality, as she does not WANT to break the rules)

She has some old begining designs I tossed

(it's so ugly)

4. Symbolism

Ooooooooh it's here. Like I said in a previous post, child is also mainly based on childhood indoctrination (why the kamuro inspo works as these young kids were practically manipulated too), specifically in military. Many kids in my country are manipulated into believing the military is either their only option, or something that was glorious.

The gun and propaganda posters are based on this, how she's been manipulated in her backstory and is basically a victim of brainwashing. Many kids who idolize the military through video games and movies are only seeing the badassery of military, getting a cool call sign, lots of awards and saving the country. Yet these young children don't understand the horror of military and war, they don't see it until it's too late. In WW1, many young men lied about their age to join the military because they believed it was an adventure, only to find out how traumatizing it is to kill another human.

Soooo yeah that's pretty much it 👍🏻

"Oh, right! I allmost forgot about that!"

"Can i see what you're doing?" The Uploader was very curious about it.

(To Hinozall) Yo, are you still coding something?

Hinozall playfully laughed before responding.

"Always. Coding is just part of my job!"

[beannary]

ok @faiakishi i was going to draw a thing explaining this but i forgot to and now im watching keyan carlile's video essay on wizards of waverly place and im actually deciding that big mama hiring just regular ass humans is just like how regular normal body guards escorted Professor Evilini off of Wiztech property after Alex made her confess her evil plan to drain Justin's magic powers

like its exactly the same thing if you think about it and im so right and brave for saying it

also the real explanation i was going to draw was either that the security guy is just wearing a cloaking broach or that he is just so stupid so silly so stupid he's just like wow huh this is some costume party! these costumes are all so good!

and why did big mama hire some humans? its because her yokai employees unionized and so she has to pay them a lot more than she wants to but the humans are a mess so she hires them when she can to save money aka to hoard money

Title: Help Wanted

Event: Mayday Heyday OC Exchange 2024 organized by @lorei-writes and @olivermorningstar

Giftee: @fighting-and-drawing

OC/Fandom: Thai Bulan / Ikemen Sengoku

Genre: Urban Fantasy AU

Warnings: Very Large Spider, some violence (involving said arachnid)

Word Count: 1500

See notes/dedications at end

As the sun sunk, building shadows elongated, creating patches of darkness on narrow, meandering streets. Parts of the city had been planned; every road numbered and set out in a precise grid. This was not one of those parts. If anyone planned out the Echigo district, they had done so by tossing noodles onto a map and putting the streets where they landed.

Thai was following their progress on a phone app, and wondered if his driver actually knew where to go. At least once the Uber doubled back, taking a longer, indirect route. As a precaution, Thai made an obvious show of texting the driver’s information to “a friend” (his own cloud account).

In truth, there were no friends to wonder or worry if he disappeared into a void, never to return.

Too many things had disappeared for him this year, the most pressing being a promised job, the one he had uprooted his life for. He’d travelled over 1000 miles, only to discover the job no longer existed. The entire company no longer existed – it had fallen victim to a takeover by Oda International, then dismantled. All previous employees were fired, all pending job offers rescinded.

Now trapped in a new country, with unpaid moving expenses, a dwindling bank account, and no solution for either, he was desperate for work… any kind. Having burned his bridges back home, in fact, having firebombed those bridges, he –

Screech!

The Uber slammed to a stop in the middle of the street, nearly garroting Thai with his own seatbelt. “Get out.” The driver flicked the automatic locks. “Now.”

He checked his phone. “We’re nowhere near-“

“Get out, or ride back to the city with me, but this car goes no further. Not here. Not after sunset.” The driver pulled a thick cudgel out from under the seat. “Yokai. It’s not worth my life to drive through the district.”

No use arguing with superstition. Grumbling to himself, Thai climbed out, then leaped for the gutter as the car zoomed away. He was surprised it hadn’t taken his leg off with it when it sped into the night.

The lights and press of the city’s humanity were far behind. Here in this strange neighborhood, the sounds were alien. No traffic hum or buzz of neon, just a steady drip drip drip of thick liquid onto pavement. The road was gritty, he could feel tiny grains of gravel and dirt slipping under his feet. A stench of rotting garbage hung in the air, dense, motionless, as if not even the wind would dare come to this place. Even the graffiti was different: its colors sharper, appearing bioluminescent, glowing talismans against evil.

Or warnings.

No… he was being fanciful. The driver’s obvious fear had gotten into his head. He wasn’t a big man, but he moved with strength and purpose. He wasn’t worth attacking, was not, even in his best interview outfit, dressed in a way that would not suggest wealth. Because there was no wealth. Even less now that most of his remaining funds had just sped away with the Uber. He’d have to walk the rest of the way.

At least he was within walking distance, as confirmed by his smartphone’s GPS. The voice of the AI (“Alex,” programmed with a soothing attractive Australian accent) told him to continue along this road another 500 meters.

Good thing I’m still within view of a satellite.

Plonk.

Something wet dripped on him and he squinted up at the tangle of ivy that covered the wall of a warehouse. Ivy? In the middle of the city? No time to investigate, he was already late for the interview. Besides… there was something sinister about that mass of ivy, as if it hid watching eyes.

When, as Alex directed, he turned left at a street so narrow he’d have hesitated to call it a street at all, something skittered past his leg, something furry and malevolent.

Yokai…

It had been a cat. Or… a very large rat (not that that possibility was reassuring).

Still, with Alex giving him updated directions he felt almost comforted. As if the AI was his friend, a non-judgmental friend who would help him navigate the worst of life’s bumps. If only Alex had told him, “Stay in college. Don’t move to a foreign country, don’t break up with -.”

Crash! Thud. Ooof!

“You have arrived, mate.” The AI went silent.

Arrived where?

The noises were coming from the bar on his left. With late summer humidity streaking the window, he’d missed the sign. Kasugayama. Through the fogged glass, he could see two shapes locked in battle.

Anyone might have been forgiven if they’d performed a 500 meter sprint back to relative safety. But acting on instinct, an instinct that he cursed a moment later, Thai ran into the bar. He didn’t know what he’d been expecting. Expectations and instincts did not generally go together. Still, one might have expected a simple bar fight, or a less simple robbery. And not… a spider the size of a pony.

Yokai…

There was probably a more proper name for a spider demon, but Thai’s language skills temporarily deserted him.

Of all the gin joints…

Spiders… why did it have to be spiders?

Why am I thinking in movie quotations?

Fighting the spider was a man who wielded a pool cue as expertly as a spear. But the spider had a six arm advantage and…

Sproing!!!

Holy fuck… it can jump!

That damn instinct took over again and Thai grabbed a chair and threw it at the spider. This had the stunning effect of breaking the chair and getting the thing’s attention. It charged toward him, then screeched when the other man drove the pool cue into its butt.

Now it’s just pissed off.

Taking advantage of the momentary distraction, Thai flipped himself over the bar top, grabbed a bottle from the speed rail, and smashed it on the edge of the sink. The scent of fermented rice mixed with the aromas of spider goo and blood. The blood belonged to a rather nasty looking slash on the man’s leg. The spider goo was … well, obvious.

At the sound of the breaking glass, the spider scuttled toward him again, a glare of uncanny intelligence in its red eyes. Thai slashed furiously with his improvised weapon, drawing more goo from the spider, and dammit, there was a paring knife right there on the garnish station.

The spider jumped to the bar top, stretching out a spindly leg (arm?) toward him. Thai switched the bottle to his other hand, grabbed the knife, and slammed it down on the arm/leg, severing it at a joint. The limb snapped off with a sickening crunch and slid halfway across the room. The spider emitted a high-pitched shriek, then the other man drove the pool cue through its head.

It twitched three times, then went still.

In the sudden silence, Thai could hear himself and the other man breathing.

Later, he might think back and take in details – the man’s warm brown eyes, the feel of the sticky floor under his feet and the flicker and hum of fluorescent lights. But the instinct that drove him into this place took over again. While the other man retrieved a well-used first aid kit and treated the slash on his leg, Thai soothed his jangled, spider-hating nerves with the ritual of cleaning. Wipe down the bar top. Sterilize the knife. Sweep up the glass…

Noticing the pool cue samurai was eyeing a bottle of iichiko Shochu, Thai poured him a glass, adding blood orange juice, tonic water and ice when prompted.

Finally the other guy spoke. “No idea why you came crashing in like a wild boar, but… thanks.” The blunt speech was softened with a wry smile.

“Job interview? Advertisement for a barback?” Thai unearthed his phone, getting ready to pull up the confirmation email. “I’m Thai Bulan.”

“Oh, shit.” The other man raked his hands through a mop of sweat-soaked brown hair. “It completely went out of my head. Sanada Yukimura.” He bowed. “Any chance you still want the job?”

It had been listed as minimum salary, but it did come with the mention of a studio apartment above the bar. “Um.” Thai indicated the spider. “Is that what happened to the previous barback?”

“No. This… was new. Never seen one those in here before.” Yukimura took a deep breath. “The last guy quit. Kasugayama’s owner is a bit… unique.”

Then, with what might have been called perfect timing, the front door opened and a man with heterochromatic eyes entered and surveyed the scene. He eyed the dead spider. “Good. I was in the mood for takeout.”

He pulled a sword out of the scabbard on his waist and cleanly sliced off a limb. Then, gnawing on it like it was a turkey leg and he was some medieval king, he disappeared into a back office.

Thai took the job.

Thank you @lorei-writes and @olivermorningstar for organizing this event (and it was super organized with check ins and google docs and everything I could ask for. If they ever do another event, jump at the chance to join).

To @fighting-and-drawing , I really hope I have done Thai justice. Heart of The Warrior has been one of my favorite Ikemen Sengoku fanfics (I've read it more than once), and I was thrilled when I learned you were the giftee. I'm not nearly as confident writing fight scenes though, so I hope it made sense. And yes, I was the anon who asked you what Yukimura might order in a modern bar (and then had to figure out whether he would still drink a sweet cocktail after killing a giant spider).

To anyone else reading this, I encourage anyone interested in reading a fantastically well written, well researched Ikesen longfic to read Heart of The Warrior either here or here

Personas Vs OCs

This is not gospel, this is just my opinion and how I categorize my own creations! You can define these terms, use or not use them, however you want to! I’m just putting this here for my own reference mostly

A persona is explicitly for self insert purposes.

These characters do not have a role that alters the lore of the existing canon.

They can interact with characters, so long as it is done in an inconsequential way. If desired, the persona can have their own subplot to be resolved.

It’s absolutely possible to have a persona for your own original work.

Personas exist as different versions of the self. No need for lore, sometimes a different costume is enough to establish the self as a different sona

When the persona has a larger role that impacts the canon line of events, they cross into OC territory.

Persona Examples

The Farmer, from Stardew Valley

Animal Crossing Player Character

Character based on the self, but designed for the world. “Me if I were a stand user.”

Any character who is based on the self but does not change the end goal of a preexistent plot

OC Examples

A Stardew Valley OC would inherently change playable canon. If your SDV persona is dating Alex and Alex is no longer a viable Romance Route, then your persona is an OC

A yokai watch NPC who has a cool yokai and directly helps Nate do XYZ, explicitly influencing the plot’s course

A character that may or may not be based on the self that is more plot significant than not.

Plot significance doesn’t exist on an easily measurable scale so it’s a loose metric, deliberately

Mary sues don’t exist btw the point of an OC is to have fun and be self indulgent. Enjoy your blorbos and let them live and love as freely as you would do so yourself.

Alex rocking the school fit

Alex here may have tomboy-ed too close to the sun! I've had a bit of a running joke that in the natsuki au, she's got this personal vendetta against girliness. And one of her appearances in MBS had the joke that she'd rather apply to the male school then where the female uniform...

Then I got the idea that she doubles down on this, and here we are.

Hope you enjoy both the new design, and the Lil comic! And if ya do, commissions are open, details on the blog!

[damonangel04-blog]

Name: Alex

Race: half human and half fox yokai.

Pronoun: She/her/he/him/they/them (when asked will just say yes) (can change their appearance to whichever or both or neither gender they want, but don't go off how they appear they may look male/female/both/neither but may go by a different pronoun that day)

Hair: golden blond to shoulders with red streaks.

Eyes: right emerald green, left ruby red. Both have cat eye slits in the center.

Body: pale skin, skinny with barely any muscles (they are made to be fast, silent, and almost dancer like), has two jagged stripes on each cheek, fangs and claws.

Ears: pointed

Tail: golden blond with red tip

Talents: puns, sarcasm, recon, blending in with crowds (has the best makeup skills), sewing, cooking (after learning from mikey), some hacking (so he could talk and spend time with donnie, crushes are hard), reading people (tone of voice, body language, and gut instincts from dealing druggies/gang/robbers/bad cops and people), knows hand to hand combat, how to disarm people, and how to use any type of gun (thanks army dad!)

Powers: can change genders, has ability to make illusions (can make themselves and others appear human or yokai), some power over fire (nearly set themselves and raph on fire when fighting the foot clan and was forbidden to use it again until fully trained), and can speak to animals.

Family: was abandoned by human mother, adopted by homeless retired army dad Jeff, who has severe ptsd from his army days.

Leo: the bromance is strong and they are bestie who have many similar interests and can practically read each other's mind when one gets an idea (whether it be during a fight, planning a prank, or just some stupid idea to cause chaos)

Raph: Alex adores raph and will fight anyone who is mean to him. Alex loves getting hugs from raph and they started a teddy bear collection thanks to raph. Will also talk anyone and everyone up about why raph is the most adorable among his brothers.

Mikey: they learned how to cook thanks to mikey, they also learned about their illusion and fire abilities while helping mikey with his own abilities. Mikey also helped them understand their feels about being abandoned and having to deal with their dad while he had a ptsd episode.

Donnie: it was love after first heist. Donnie helped them track down and deal with a gang that had hurt their dad when he protected a woman from mugging. He learned how to do some hacking (not good at it, but forced themselves to learn so they could spend time together). Will become a mess whenever getting compliments or full attention from Donnie (leo will always use those moments to tease Alex and make them even more of a mess and disaster). Donnie hasn't noticed the crush, and it drives the others crazy with how obvious he is . Also, they have a running bet.

April: Alex and April get along amazingly. They will do sleepovers to do makeup, watch movies, gossip, and talk about crushes (donnie for alex and cassandra for april) (leo is known to crash a few of the sleepovers or be invited too)

Splinter: calls them yellow whenever they are over. Gets along with Jeff like a house on fire, the two bond over their battle days and how much a stud they were, also like to tag team to pull the dad card on the teenagers. Splinter takes on a second dad role to Alex and teaches them all about Lou jitsu and hot soup.

[allenbreadly]

Here's a little extra for ya!!

!!!Alex!!!

A punk prankster mentioned in the first chapter! (Not including the prologue). He's are a dragon Yokai. Alex is more human in appearance because their mother is human. Alex gets made fun of for this fact but it doesn't bother him much.

I bet it's confusing...I introduced them as a he but little did you know they were actually woman shaped!!! Well let me explain.

Alex likes to call themselves a man so everyone else just went along with it. The reason was to honor their father who passed away, he decided to become the man of the house like his father told him to be before he passed away. Alex took the expression far too seriously. So now it's become his job to take care of his mother. He's decided to become a man just like his father!

Everyone goes along with it because they figure it's Alex's own way to cope with the stress of losing a father and having to take care of their weak mother. So as long as it hurts no one, they'll go along with it. Also it was fun for them to watch Alex cry over their non-existing balls every other day of the week...

[bearlycute-art]

Beargamot’s students are like his children. He nicknamed them to suit their interests!

Hollow’s Major is to be a chef for human cuisines, he achieved his goal and worked alongside Francois. 

Ellie’s Major is to serve ice in the ice-free world, she earned her title of “Queen on the Rocks”

Alex’s Major is to be a very handy yokaisona. Want to serve a villain, but not the ones from Despicable Me... 

Addition to the secret academy... Brocorn

Brocorn is a new student who is a bisexual Bicorn who is a Brony. He is afraid of revealing himself to the world because of the Anti-Ugly-Yokai act that has been passed. Beargamot promised him that he is safe as long as he’s in the post apocalyptic world with no Comicalla yokai capturing him.

[envyq00]

I can tell how much effort you put into your Narrator design he looks so cool (completely positive) (like goddamn how do you NOT mess up that goodly) (the man ever)

WAHH thank you so much!!!

A lot did go into him. Allow me to ramble for a moment about my inspirations for him:

1) Peter Jones

According to an interview with Kevan Brighting by Cressup on YouTube, he said he got inspiration for the Narrator's voice from Peter Jones in the original radio play of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So I already had a good idea of where to go with my Narrator, specifically the vibe of a late 60s -70s radio host. Mixed with 80s work clothes as well.

2) Various 60s-80s work clothes.

I just looked stuff up on Pinterest but these first two pics of Gregory Peck and Clint Eastwood REALLY gave me a lot of the vibes I wanted to go for. (Also Harrison Ford in the 2010s but Tumblr has a 10 image limit 😭😭). I also thought Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill fit the vibe as well. Moreso in looks than personality but Idk. Maybe that as well.

3) Stylization from other cartoons

And then to kind of stylize the look I wanted to go for, I looked at different characters and cartoons. Specifically, Ford Pines from Gravity Falls (especially him bc I thought it was funny that he had a brother named Stanley so I mean duh. Plus Alex Hirsch IS in Ultra Deluxe which is hilarious), a lot of concept art from Batman the animated series, and especially the Iron Giant. I'm actually planning to make a short animation with the Narrator and a scene from the Iron Giant for a class project! (Actually tbh, I definitely wanted to capture babygirl vibes that everyone's been talking about on Twitter and I know Saul Goodman and Kent Mansley definitely had those vibes XDD.)

4) Other internet artists

I don't want to repost their art without permission so I'll just mention names:

Forte-Girl7's/Forte7's Wheatley gijinka was actually the first gijinka I've ever seen for like anything and considering that the Narrator (especially in Ultra Deluxe) gave me more Wheatley vibes, I wanted to kind of pay tribute to her.

Also you've ever seen Bechnokid's Yokai Watch/Whisper art, that was also a big inspiration dhsjjsjs.

And of course there are the GOATs like MissAzura and CYM-K whose takes on the Narrator I've adored and actually got me into this fandom in the first place. Sooooo yeah!

There's also my own OC whom the Narrator reminded me incessantly of and he also played a part of my own Narrator design. And of course a biiiit of Kevan Brighting himself mixed with my pure imagination coming up with a simultaneously vague and particular image of what the narrator looked like in my head.

And of course, there were other things in game that informed the Narrator's character that I wanted to translated into his character design (i.e squarish shape language bc of his perfectionism and obsession with structure but also cuz of the exposed developer textures and of course the color scheme being close to the office colors in the game).

But yeah! There's more I could talk about in terms of the Narrator as a character but I'm saving that for later hehehheheh
