#kind of off topic for the second one but technically Melchior hadn't said a word yet so i count it

🔨 Are there any whump tropes that you'd love to see your OC's reactions to even though you couldn't or wouldn't put it into your actual story for whatever reason?

🎬 What was the very first scene or image that popped into your head before you ever wrote a word for your OC?

oooh thanks for asking (from this game)

🔨 - Very few actually. For me it's more along the lines of "I'm putting this in my story no matter how contrived it is". Riot Kings is sci-fi and has no real reason to resort to using a whip to hurt someone, but I've still hit 2/3 whumpees with that one (I'm coming for you next, Jin)

🎬 - Melchior (and all of Riot Kings) started with page one (funny how that happens lol). I drew it completely on a whim after reading one of @the-three-whumpeteers 's prompts about heroes stumbling on a villain in a cell. Mercury wasn't a concept yet, didn't know it was going to be mostly set on a spaceship, didn't even have Nabi's name (or know that she'd have psychic powers). The initial plan was to leave it as a one-off page, but then the ideas kept coming so I was like "oh, okay, I guess I'll do three pages and end with him being rescued", but then I got more ideas. So yeah, here we are 😅
