Reacting to your assumptions (about our stories/characters)

[beebutterbee]

So she'd do something scary like skydiving, though not that enthusiastically,

Woah that’s dedication!! Like, I love my family and friends but I would NOT go sky diving for anything in the world

And for the assumptions of Princess Pneumonia, it’s sooort of there too? She’s a Goblin Princess, and Goblins in general are kind of rare and seen as weird by most people in Butter Bee. I don’t think she got bullied a lot but I imagine she is avoided a lot, so she’s very isolated. But Charlotte’s assumptions are very accurate! She is very timid and clingy to her mom because she trusts her the most.

Charlotte is very cute btw. what species are these characters?

Thank you! And so they’re both Goblins, but you were spot on! Charlotte’s dad is a human. Charlotte actually shows up in Butter Bee as teenager though, this image is gonna be like concepts for backstory stuff. But her dad has remarried yet again (he’s had like 7 different wives) Her dad is Knight Stella.

Let's see, I haven't had anyone guess about Mara yet

Read Sketchy Business :: Elevator Pitch | Tapas Community

Also here's a random fun fact I feel like sharing about Texas for no particular reason:

Texas sometimes writes her name as "Texas Callaway-Cruz" on social media profiles and the likes (basically any non-professional document) even though she is not married to Chili lol. Interpret that as you will

[Leyelle]

But her dad has remarried yet again (he’s had like 7 different wives) Her dad is Knight Stella.

He's pulling a Henry VIII is he?

[beebutterbee]

He's pulling a Henry VIII is he?

Unfortunately an accurate comparison

[Leyelle]

I hope all his former wives are still alive. Are they? Also what does Charlotte look like when she's older since you said this picture was a flashback?

[beebutterbee]

@Leyelle Omg sorry I didn’t see this I’ve been off the forums for a minute too.

I hope all his former wives are still alive. Are they?

Ummm …. Unfortunately no, aside from Chariot but she’s actually half dead. And if that sounds awful that’s because it is :’) I told you, I just don’t feel any sympathy for Knight Stella. Some characters are just trash.

And I need to take a picture of the art I’ve drawn of Charlotte! I had some old designs but I’ve changed them since. Ahh to refine the character design

[beebutterbee]

My assumptions about Mara are … she can’t beat one level in a really crappy mobile game but she keeps on trying because she is DETERMINED even about the little stuff in life lol also I feel like she watches Tim Burton films as comfort movies

[Leyelle]

Refining character designs can be a frustrating process. I feel also. Yikes. poor former wives.

[Leyelle]

She probably is really bad at video games, though I don't imagine she plays video games very often, so I'll rank that seven out of ten. As for Tim Burton, nah, she's probably more like me, who would watch one clip from Beetlejuice and have anxiety for the rest of the night TT. I could see her watching suspense/thriller things like Misery though.

[beebutterbee]

Actually same haha XD I love playing video games but I’m really not the best at them, I guess that’s why I like games like sims and Minecraft because you make your own objective.

Oh no you think beetlejuice is scary? I never realized it could freak anyone it always seemed so goofy to me personally. I think Mara’s goth outfit with the stripes was just reminding me of the style.

[Leyelle]

I have a very very low tolerance for scary things. No joke. Some children's cartoons spook/unsettle me. I never watch horror anything.

As for Mara's outfit, I hadn't actually realized it looked kind of goth, but I can see what you mean. She's not goth though. I guess it's just and odd coincidence XD. She does normally wear dark colors because she finds they look more 'professional' in general, and she has a hard time getting people to take her seriously when she's such a tiny landlady.

[beebutterbee]

Oh no! Then stay away from the horror stuff that’s so interesting that your editor considers some of your writing horror when you don’t enjoy the genre at all.

Oh I gotchya! I guess my own fashion bias was making me think that xD and also, hey short people problems I get it I’m only 5’ 1”.

[Leyelle]

Usually people consider my work body horror, while I'm more afraid of supernatural things. So it's not as crazy a surprise, though I was surprised and confused the first time my work was labeled horror.

I guess my own fashion bias was making me think that

Oh, is your fashion statement/style goth? I thought I remembered you saying it was kind of boho

[abigaillmartin]

Hey @beebutterbee I’m exactly your height irl! I’m also 5’1! Eeeee!

[beebutterbee]

@Leyelle, oh yeah I remember you saying it wasn't intentional at all. I love stories about supernatural things, although I'll be honest if I watch those stupid top 10 scariest ghost caught on TAPE (TM) on youtube late at night I DO actually get really freaked haha xD but I adore stories that delve into weird spooky themes. I guess I like the mystery of it, and alot of my other stories have a mystery bent to them, not necessarily like murder mystery but there's an element of mysteries in the story itself. The unknown is interesting to me, even Grey Aliens even though the illustrations of them sort of terrify me

@abigaillmartin omg twin heights!!! xD you know how it feels to not be able to reach the top shelf lol honestly though jokes aside I don't mind being this short. It's funny when pants are too long though lol

[abigaillmartin]

@beebutterbee yes! Well the other I was helping my mom put away the dishes and I had to use a stool as always and I complained about being short.

And then my mom had me listen to this song and I loved it!

I wish I was a little bit taller 🤣

[abigaillmartin]

Okay but I have these specific bell bottoms or flares in my wardrobe they are pretty long on me that I have to wear my heeled brown boots. 🤣 I can relate for pants being too long

[beebutterbee]

@abigaillmartin omg that's so funny your mom found a theme song for you lol luckily everyone but my dad is short in my family so we don't use the most top cabinet so I only have to reach a liiiittle extra to get the dishes put away.

Okay but I have these specific bell bottoms or flares in my wardrobe they are pretty long on me that I have to wear my heeled brown boots

oh dude, yeah I have these really cute striped pants BUT they're so stupidly long I have to wear platforms with them. I think my flare jeans are also the same way I guess its just the style But lowkey it looks good so I'm not even mad about it lol. I guess I don't feel short most of the time because I'm wearing shoes with pretty chunky heels or platforms so I read 5' 3"- 5' 4" instead.

[Krysteena]

This is my main characters I am curious to find out what people assume other than my art was called AI and I had to get right of the chapter pieces. I choice to focus on the Novel for now but I did a remake and a video should the creation this time and changes the style from start to finish so yeah that was fun.

[beebutterbee]

Oh, is your fashion statement/style goth? I thought I remembered you saying it was kind of boho

OMG not me realizing I forgot to respond to this one part skfjlsad wow I'm so distracted lol BUT to answer, no I'm not goth! I just like the fashion, so I like looking at references of it and drawing some of my own characters in it. I do dress more boho, but also just weird I think the right term is probably just eccentric.
