13. i have a mouth and i will talk about ocs

December 13, 2022

Alright, I'll be able to do blog posts as a personal ramblings more frequently since I'm (kind of!) close to settling with this code and I no longer have the need to update everyone on everything that's happening with my coding stuff. Anyways, to explain the specific reference of my title...my partner has been getting into Aye Eye media recently, basically stories about or with an A and I character with a major role. Unfortunately I'm swamped with schoolwork and I can't really engage with some of these right now...but I DID read (and listened to an audiobook of) a pretty well-known classic sci-fi dystopian novella called I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. MAN. They weren't lying, those classic sci-fi stories can really leave you with a profound realization about human nature!!!! Anyways I think AM is a really interesting character but also incredibly easy to hate.

Other than all those stuff, I did design a couple of new characters for TIA a coupla days ago! I really liked how they turned out, but I can't make fullbody refs for them because TIMEEE. Anyways here's the Apples! Natasha's trio of constructs that act like minions to her...but they have their own personalities and specialties. They do care about Natasha more than she anticipated.

ANTONOVKA, the silent muscle man who gets protective over the other two. Looks like he can kill you (and he can) but he's secretly quite a softie.

MYRA, the sneaky femme fatale who does all the talking if needed. She's also very proficient with changing her appearance when she's doing spy stuff.

SURPRISE, the wild card who hangs around with Natasha the most. She's almost unpredictable and she loves causing chaos and mischief.

I'll add them in the cast page for TIA once I have the time to do that...but yeah! Fun fact, they are named after apple cultivars :D I always have a blast naming the characters in this project, since it always feels like I'm that BFU meme ("I'm connecting the dots" "You're not connecting shit" "I'm connecting them")

On another note, I got quite inspired a little while ago and when I have the time, I will set up my interests/shrines pages soon! Man I'd love to talk about all my interests.
