✨Day 7✨
for the @khoc-week 2021 !
Themes : 1. Home, 2. Genderswap, 3. What was your character creation like ?
Buckle up because this is going to be quite a long one this time around they were all pretty long posts until now but humour me x)
Mikana
1. For Mikana, spending time with Sakore, her sister and Nox, pretty much her adopted sibling, is the closest feeling to home. When she is with them, darkness, light and all her problems disappeared and she puts all her attention on them.
2. Genderbend Mikana is... Pretty much just Mikana lmao. He is has aloof and friendly. However, in this men form, you can much clearly see Lea's impact on her design ahaha. He name would maybe something like Miko ?
3. Mikana is the oldest kh character i created. She was created around the end of 2019, start of 2020. i got really invested in kh quick late compared to most,,, Really i first created her because i was, and still am, a big fan of Lea. You can see the inspiration i took from his design from her side hair and bang lmao.
Mikana, like all the character i draw, soon took a life of her own. The more i drew and imagined scenarios with her, the more her personality constructed itself without me realizing it (she is aloof, level-headed, family oriented). I truly build most of it throught an AU of mine named "Magical AU". Her clothing style which is really 70/80's s still on of the thing i like the most about her.
The khocweek2020 also helped a lot (pass time, family ties, short terms and long term goals,...) !
Sika
1. Eventually in the story, Sika just kinda absorb into the sea salt trio household. She lives with them like the others kids and is just like a sister for them all. However, even in this next found home found family go brrrr she has some difficulties waking up in the morning.
2. Sika as a boy would just be her sweet self as always. This design ended up turning out much softer and sweet than what I anticipated but I kinda love it. When I was thinking about names, I couldn't really think of much only Soka came to mind at first and that's just a ATLA character lmao so I just kept Sika. I think it's neutral enough to fit a male or female character :D
3. Sika is a special case to say the least. At first, she was one of my fiction character. I never published it anywhere but it was 45 pages long of slice of life of her living in Twilight Town and being Lea and Isa friend,,, Again, herpersonnality build herself up without me thinking much about it (she is bubbly, kind, responsible, ressourceful). But what's truly different about it was that i had her personnality BEFORE i created her appearance. It's really rare for me to do that.
HOWEVER i wasn't satisfied. My writing was too confused... So i scraped all 45 pages of writing i did. i had a hard time doing so because it represented DAYS of work for nothing. I started everything from the beginning. It was then that i truly integrated Orion and Erid properly into the story and created Master Ivi. Some keypoint are still the same but i changed the story quite a lot.
Bunny and Anis
1. Truly, Anis and Bunny always felt at home whenever they were with each other. This feeling extended to their significant other and close friends as they grew older. Whatever the house, what make them feel home is having the people taht matter to them by their side.
2. Bunny and Anis were REALLY a headache to do. Since they are identical twins I feared their genderbend would just look like any another. However, I quickly realized I could use their controsting personalities to my advantage. Bunny genderbend looks like a quiet and successful uncle while Anis genderbend looks like this fun but a bit unhinged aunt you love.
Their names would be Anise for Anis and Hare for Bunny,,,
3. At the beginning, Bunny was simply my Khux player character. I didn't do much art or think much about her or her story. Funnily enough, this is last year khocweek that truly made me flesh her out ! Without it, Bunny would most likely stayed a surface level character. Her name was also mostly a joke but ended up really like it.
When it comes to personality, she mostly have the player personality from KHux and follow the same story. Well except for the final sacrifice (Anis took on this part x)).
Anis was created not too long after last year khocweek. I was simply playing around with the male dressing interface, creating a sort of genderbend of Bunny and... Got attached to the character lmao. With his name, i stayed in the food related realm really i tend to mostly name my character after food... .
His peronnality was mostly created based on the dynamic energic and calm character have. Since Bunny is a very calm and silent person, having a twin brother loud and energetic could make out for funny and ridiculous situation. I really like the dynamic.
Pêche
1. I have yet to decide a definite end to Pêche's story. Their story is yet to find the comfort in hurt/comfort in the current state of her fanfic x) However I can vaguely imagine that someday, they would be have healed enough to trust the guardians of light.
2. Genderbend Pêche was really hard for me. Like some might have guessed Pêche's goes with neutral pronouns and have a generally androgyne appearance : the biggest reason is that I get the impression Pêche doesn't identify as anything. They are there suffering but hey they will have help and slowly heal from all the bad things they experienced. So I just altered their body shape a bit and cut their hair ?
3. Pêche wasn't a really serious character at first. For one, she was a fiction character and more importantly a sort of punching ball character. When i felt bad, i wrote her and felt better. But soon enough my brain started to really like her and from there, i couldn't help but fleshed her out. She needed a coherent story. Well coherent doesn't mean simple for me x) her story is a beautiful mess to understand.
Also i wanted to think about some kind of writing prompt i had : What if Xehanort had a student ? Eraqus as some but Xehanort never explicetly said he never had any so my brain went brrrrr ; What or when did Xehanort truly descended into darkness ? The old men is so intense in the game but Eraqus still think of him as good until he dies ??? It means Xehanort was at least okay for a bunch of time then, right ???? ; What if Xehanort succeded in completing a heart ? lmao this one made available so much angst i couldn't pass it,,,
So this is the end of my khocweek. Even with all my preparation I still had to rush the last few drawnings ahah. Anyways I had such a sweets and good week! I rarely have the occasion of talking about my ocs to strangers and have actual reactions. Interactions I get from the khocweek make my heart warms up 🥺 I thanks all the khocweek team and all the other talented participants from the bottom of my hearts 💜💜 I hope to be there next year and see some familiar ocs again 👀

o96.
Have you ever had a bonfire on the beach?
>> Nope. I’ve attended a bonfire in the forest, though, which was quite lovely.
Are you skilled when it comes to working in the kitchen?
>> Not particularly. I can do the basics and that’s about it.
When was the last time you went to a campground?
>> A few years ago, in Brooklyn.
Do you listen to music while driving?
>> Sparrow is the driver and she plays her iPod. We’d switch up but the adapter is a Lightning cable and therefore doesn’t fit my phone.
(In Wednesday’s car, the radio does what it wants -- except when Friday’s fucking with it, of course.)
Is there a movie you currently want to see?
>> Sure, there are a lot of movies I want to see.
When was the last time you hung out with people younger than you?
>> Well, Sparrow’s younger than me.
What is the closest blue object to you?
>> A Black Panther blanket.
How much did you spend on your last shopping trip?
>> I don’t remember.
Do you wish you had a better cellular plan?
>> No, it’s fine for my purposes.
Are you good at buying gifts for people?
>> I’d like to think so. I certainly don’t stress out about it as much as most people, which I think has its own benefits.
Would you consider yourself to be generous?
>> At times.
Have you ever recieved an autograph from a celebrity?
>> Yeah, a couple. But usually I got autographs from band members.
When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried?
>> I don’t usually laugh hard enough to cry. Hard enough to lose my breath, yeah. Not so much cry.
Are you currently studying for your driver's lisence?
>> No, but I did get to drive for the first time last weekend, and it was exhilarating. And not as difficult as I’d convinced myself it must be (so my first thoughts, before I started second-guessing, were right after all)! I’m still leery about getting on the road with actual other drivers, even in small-ass Wayland, but... I’ll get there eventually, I guess.
Have you ever gone over your cellphone plan by accident?
>> Yeah, years ago.
Are you in a relationship with the last person you kissed?
>> Sure.
Ever done something that at the time didn't bother you, but it did later?
>> Yep.
Can you honestly say you've been drunk before?
>> I can honestly say that.
Where did you get your last bruise from?
>> I don’t remember the last time I was bruised. It takes a lot to bruise me.
Have you ever argued with a person of authority, and won?
>> I don’t think so.
Is there a certain color of eyeshadow you prefer, if you wear eyeshadow?
>> I like metallic shades.
Have you ever been addicted to mints?
>> No, but I am somehow addicted to mint itself. I’m always huffing my lip balm because it has peppermint in it, lmao.
Are you a person that likes to take chances?
>> Sure, sometimes.
Would you consider your life to be great right now?
>> Sure, why not.
When a friend confides in you with their problems, do you listen?
>> Sometimes. If that’s all they expect me to do, is listen, then yeah, it’s a lot easier. It’s when people want me to react a certain way that I have to determine whether I’m in the mood for that or not.
Do you have a piece of technology that should be dead, but it's still going?
>> That reminds me of a netbook I used to have, Gilead, that I had to keep resurrecting because I couldn’t afford a new machine. It was definitely on borrowed time and performed horribly but I had no other option. When I finally got enough money to buy JARVIS, literally the day I brought JARVIS home Gilead gave up completely (probably with a sigh of relief, if computers could sigh). It’d done its best for me and finally it could rest. I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated a machine more in my life than I did Gilead, even when I was frustrated with it.
When it rains, does it put the damper on your mood?
>> Sometimes. Also, heh, damper.
What was the latest you stayed up in the past week?
>> Probably around 1a.
Have you had an awkward situation with someone recently?
>> Not to my knowledge.
Do you always seem to be losing your bobbypins?
>> I don’t have any in the first place.
When was the last time you found something overwhelming?
>> It probably had something to do with sensory overload. Or video games.
Going anywhere next year for vacation?
>> I’m not sure, what with Sparrow going back to school and the wedding towards the end of the year.
Ever sent drunk texts?
>> I’ve sent texts while intoxicated, but I think even my intoxicated texts were at least coherent. One time I texted Sparrow while tripping and it might have taken me about a half-hour to type it but it came out perfectly clear in the end, so.
Do you remember the dream you had last night?
>> No, I just remember the part that had Hallie in it (probably because that’s the last bit that happened before I woke up).
How many dresses do you own?
>> About 5 or so.
Do any of your friends seem like a brother or sister to you?
>> No. I don’t know what that would feel like, and what would make it different from friendship.
What bothers you more, cigarette smoke or cigar smoke?
>> Cigar smoke, it’s more fragrant and harder to breathe through.
What do you think of Leonardo DiCaprio?
>> I think he’s neat. The Oscar-related memes were really funny for a while, and then he won one and killed the meme. :p
Have you ever seen a movie that messed with your mind?
>> Sure. I used to prefer movies like that. I still kind of do, but I also can’t watch them all the time like I used to.
Do you look good in hats?
>> Not most of them. It’s the lack of hair.
Can you see a noticeable difference between DVD and Blueray?
>> I can’t, but that’s a personal handicap.
Is there a song you're currently listening to on repeat?
>> No.
Are you going to make a mega wish at 11:11 on 11/11/11?
>> I don’t think I did.
Speaking of numbers, do you have a lucky one?
>> Nah.
What do you think musical artists who use autotune?
>> I don’t have an opinion. I prefer not to listen to Autotuned singers most of the time, but I don’t judge them or anything.
Have you ever held hands with someone for no reason?
>> There’s always a reason.
Has anything surprised you today?
>> I don’t recall.
When was the last time you played a video game?
>> I played Pillars of Eternity 2 earlier today. I didn’t think the Beast of Winter DLC would be so tedious and full of annoyingly difficult enemies, but I’m suffering through it because Rymrgand is my goth-god fave.
Have you ever just watched flames from a fire & just thought about things?
>> Sure.
Are there any musical albums coming out soon that you can't wait for?
>> I don’t even know what albums are due out.
Have you talked to your significant other today?
>> Yeah.
Have you ever sat down and eaten an entire cake by yourself?
>> Nooooo.
Do you have perfect vision?
>> I don’t know if it’s perfect or not, but I do know it’s pretty damn good.
Is there something you want to buy right now?
>> Not at this moment. Unless it’s tickets to see Wardruna in Boulder and the matching transportation tickets. :T
Do you know anyone who can speak Gaelic?
>> I don’t think I know anyone personally that speaks it fluently.
When it comes to eye color, do you have a preference?
>> No.
What was the most unique pet you've owned?

Is your hair currently dyed?

Has something annoyed you recently?

Have you ever bitten through your lip by accident?
>> No.
Are you good at coming up with dares?
>> No.
Do you know someone with the last name Brown?
>> Probably.
Is there somewhere in the world you would never go?

Have you ever tried to sew or knit anything?
>> Yes. Oftentimes I succeeded.
Has someone ever told you something that left you speechless?
>> Probably.
Has something ever happened to you that seemed like it was from a movie?
>> Well, yeah.
Do you find yourself to be a believer in love at first sight?
>> Not particularly, but I won’t profess to know other people’s experiences.
Or perhaps, do you believe that there's that "someone" out there for you?
>> I mean, there’s definitely people out there who mesh well with me. I’m in a relationship with one of those people, so there’s evidence.
Does money really matter to you?
>> Of course it does. I like not starving to death in a cardboard box in an alley, after all.
Is there something you want to do, that you swear you will, no matter what?
>> I don’t think I can make that sort of promise.
Do you know anyone who is a germaphobe?

When people you know cry, does it make you feel like crying too?
>> Nope.
Laughter is universally contageous, right?
>> Not necessarily. But I am more likely to laugh when someone else is laughing, because I like to laugh (and find a lot of shit funny).

gonna leave this post open for a day or so, spider-man homecoming thoughts under the cut (big spoilers!!)
can’t BELIEVE how cool they managed to make the vulture
like i tend not to read up on these movies before they come out, like ‘here’s who michael keaton is playing’ or ‘here’s the bad guy’ or whatever, bc like...... i’m gonna go see it, i wanna find out Cinematically. but as soon as michael keaton put that fucking fur-lined bomber jacket on i was like Oh Dear, he’s gonna be the senior citizen who robs banks
but he was fucking radbaloney, scary and sort of sympathetic?? a better written villain than the fucking vulture had any right 2 be lmao
very happy with the diversity, not just in the principal cast but also in the crowd scenes. it actually looked like real new york city, as opposed to the homogeneous white supremacist version that filmmakers have been using for far too long
THE
TWIST
HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT COMING, IT WAS SO EFFECTIVE
ned is everything, i’m so proud of my boy
if i think too long about how tony is still working on prototypes for cap’s shield i will collapse in on myself
TONY. OLD DAD MAN. distant dad man. his characterization seemed kind of......... all over the place a bit?? ik that a coming-of-age story trope is like, making the disapproving father figure proud but the way he treated peter was confusing. idk, maybe i am missing something obvious
i really dig how the kids actually dressed like KIDS. like, clothes that didn’t always fit right, peter’s endless supply of nerd shirts (i relate, oh my god, i wore almost exclusively mathlete and ‘if you’re not the solution you’re the precipitate’ and ‘physics: we pull our own mg’ tshirts in high school), mj’s cute-grunge look and Ned’s Hat and all
peter is the least subtle about his Secret Identity, he is taking lessons from barry allen, he’s hanging out JUST OUTSIDE A HOUSE FULL OF HIS CLASSMATES WITH HIS SUIT AND NO MASK. every other sentence he calls himself spider-man. he talks with ned In Public in normal tones of voice about spider-manning. peter. please. keep it in your suit, you’re not even trying
HYPE about may finding out who he is lmao. keeping that shit secret from her is such a staple in the comics, it’s very refreshing that she can be an ally to him
WHEN PETER COMES HOME IN HIS ‘I SURVIVED A TRIP TO NYC’ SHIRT AND HE’S HEARTBROKEN WITH TEARS IN HIS EYES. I HAD NO IDEA A HUMAN COULD LOOK SO SAD. LET ME HUG YOU YOU DARLING BOY, YOU ARE DOING YOUR BEST AND I’M SO PROUD
me every five seconds: what a good boy
PETER IS JUST SO GOOD. HE FEELS SO RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING AND HE HAS THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON HIS FIFTEEN Y/O SHOULDERS AND HE’S SUCH A GOOD BOY
i’m tearing up now.just thinking. about what a good boy he is
i can’t believe tony invited him to move upstate and live in like, Avengers Dorm. HE IS A CHILD, TONY. HE HAS AN AUNT AND FRIENDS AND A HOME AND HE HAS TO GO TO SCHOOL. there’s this new trend (even supported in some newer comics - gillen, i want to say? but idr) that tony is Anti-School, college dropout, all his doctorates are honorary etc but he LOVES LEARNING and even as recently as cap civil war gave a ton of grant money to mit students!!!! i KNOW that HE KNOWS how important school is for PETER THE BABY GENIUS
like is it supposed to be viewed as Character Development or Realizing Pete’s Worth that he goes from ‘i have some pull at mit, why don’t you focus on school’ to ‘quit school and avenge full time’??????? what a bad
CAP’S EDUCATIONAL SHORTS. i can’t - i just - this jackass -
literally thirty seconds before the final stinger i said ‘ ok marvel you know we’re all sticking around, wrap it up’ and then - THE AUDACITY, THE NERVE
he was wearing THE WORST cap costume of all, the one from 2012 avengers until some undetermined time before winter soldier, so am i to understand that within 2 weeks of defrosting the old man the new york public school system (or the NATIONAL public school system????) was like ‘read this, talk to kids about puberty and detention and physical fitness and please look like a complete and utter schmuck while you do it’ ??? give the guy a break i beg you
steve rogers is the guy y ou LEAST want your students to be like, if you are a School Authority. you know that fucker was getting in fights in the hallway and turning in impassioned essays about the poor treatment of non-white non-dudes in america and his long-suffering teacher was like ‘steven this is a math class’ and smoking asthma cigarettes
we now know that ned and peter are star wars nerds, so #confirmed that pete was fucking with old man tony in civil war when he called empire ‘that old movie’??
‘come on peter - come on spider-man - come on spider-man-’ CUE ME CRYING FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS
honestly i want to see tony’s POV of this - not bc he is my fav (he is) but bc i want to see him try to justify all of his bad choices in this movie. I’M STILL STUCK ON THIS. there is no reason not to listen to peter, or to foist him off on happy, when happy relates all the peter stuff to tony anyway!!!! like, ok, tony had the worst dad so he knows how Not To Dad, and i KNOW i am being redundant bc i have ALREADY SAID it is a staple of the coming-of-age genre (and lbr, most Young Superhero stories) that the adults Didn’t Listen when The Kids Were Right, but even if tony is Emotionally Distant, he’s not dumb, and leaving peter out of the loop (’who do you think called the fbi’ - WHY WOULD YOU NOT TELL PETER THAT WAS THE PLAN, HE IS A NATURALLY INQUISITIVE YOUNG MAN WHO FEELS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE, YOU SHOULD RELATE, YOU SHOULD KNOW HE IS GOING TO CONTINUE INVESTIGATING) was very very dumb and i am heated about it
mj was CRIMINALLY underused but it looked like they set her up for a bigger role in the next one so /shrug emoji
there was so much absolutely classic parker bailing on shit to save the world, it’s not a spider-man story if his entire social circle isn’t worried he’s doing shady shit and/or always low-key pissed at him for flaking
dong lover cameo was very funny (now we’ve had 2 members of derrick comedy doing mcu cameos, let’s throw some dominic dierkes in the mix) and given that he was credited as aaron davis and mentioned his nephew, COULD IT BE that miles will someday be a part of the mcu, show me That Dude
