Who are your OCs best friends? Why do they like them?

Bobbie and R.J. have been best friends since they met in kindergarten. They originally bonded over being the only kids in their class with hearing disabilities, but what really solidified their friendship is how well their personalities mesh together. Theyre a couple of goofballs, but R.J. is a little more serious/introverted to balance out Bobbie's outgoing self

lol, sort of like Kattar and Alicia. They originally bonded in Spanish class because they actually spoke Spanish and were kind of laughing at their teacher who definitely didn't, but eventually connected, not because they had a lot more in common, but because their ideals kind of fit each other and balanced each other out. They don't share many interests, but they are both sweet people who will do a lot to care for their friends, and patiently suffer through the things that don't interest them for each others sake.

As I reply to your forum posts I'm noticing we have quite a few similarities with our characters! It's pretty cool, great minds think alike 🧠

Leyelle 2024-04-13 23:10:28 UTC #33

XD, that's very true lol. It's an unusual coincidence. I even have deaf characters in my comic (that's now unfortunately indefinitely on hold) or rather, my FL grew up in a household where both her parents were deaf. And my ML lives with a disability in "Damsel in the Red Dress."

What are the odds, really?? I find myself asking that a lot when we chat

allisoncandraw 2024-04-13 23:18:24 UTC #35

I've just subbed btw, I thought I did a while ago but I guess I didn't yet!

Leyelle 2024-04-13 23:19:20 UTC #36

Oh tysm! And yeah, the odds are crazy. We should be writer pals, I've been dying to make some. Do you have an IG for your comic?

allisoncandraw 2024-04-13 23:33:18 UTC #37

Agreed! And I have an art IG, here's the link if you'd like to be mutuals

Leyelle 2024-04-13 23:35:10 UTC #38

definitely! I'll check this out tomorrow. I'm still a student, though i'm 18, living with my dad, so I still have to get his permission for stuff otherwise i'd have already read your comic . I've so been dying of curiosity lol. I will read your story sooner than later!

All good, I understand!

Leyelle 2024-04-17 00:43:10 UTC #41

wait, are Kai and Kyoge the only friends who are mutual? and why do they like each other?

Kendoboi 2024-04-17 00:53:39 UTC #42

They all are in a friend group. But if you were to ask them "Hey, if you had to pick which one is you best friend, who would you choose?" Those were their picks. I forgot to include Charlotte and Zane's opinion, but theirs would reflect Kai & Kyoge's.
Kai and Kyoge feel like they have some sort of unspoken link. During the second arc, readers will get to see exactly how that comes into play.

it doesn't damage their friend group at all for them to have obvious favorites amongst each other? i mean it might not, just curious

Kendoboi 2024-04-17 00:57:31 UTC #44

It happens in every friend group. Some people just have a better bond with others. But it doesn't mean that they're friend group is harmed. As long as their relationships continue in a preferred manner and even grows as they grow.

Leyelle 2024-04-17 01:00:49 UTC #45

yeah, you might feel closer with others than some, but saying who your favorite it could definitely hurt some people's feelings, though that's apparently not the context of your story. I think it's the cause of every maid of honor struggle XD

Kendoboi 2024-04-17 01:16:33 UTC #46

Probably. But as of right now, they all have a healthy friendship!

This honesty might be difficult to answer, cause I kinda just had them met and after a short chat, they've been hanging out together.
Friar's more the broody reluctant friend, and Bucky's just friendly to everyone, so "opposites attract" cliché box is ticked.
I suppose, Friar feels sorry for Bucky, given that he's the newcomer and at the lowest social rank. And Bucky likes to listen to Friar's speeches and is curious on his backstory.
So, why does Friar like Bucky? Cause he's not the fighting/dominant type of rooster like the others and sees him as loyal, and optimistic which compliments his broodiness.
Why does Bucky like the preachy, ignored, and barely-tolerable Friar? Guess he's curious about the Order and looks to Fry as a source of information...and he really likes how Friar's eyes light up whenever he preaches.

Maybe as the plot develops, I can dissect their friendship a little further. Still kinda the start of it all...

Paulie is the best friend of Georgina in "Audrey Hepburn's Pearls". He's from Poland, and lost family during the Holocaust (his branch of the family moved the the midwest of the US during the late 1920's, though three of his brothers were born in Poland. Paulie is American born). Due to complete rejection and disownment by his family in 1954 when they found out he is gay and participating in drag queen pageants in Philadelphia during college at Penn State, he unfortunately goes into the path of illegal substances to cope. He finds himself in NYC by the early 1960's, and meets a young Georgina at the drag club they now both work in. He feels a great need from this young queen, who was also abandoned by her family. Georgina is transgender and scared, so Paulie feels a great maternal instinct as her drag mother. He feels drag would be an excellent outlet for her feelings, and along with his friend Genesis, trains and raises Georgina into an excellent performer. They become such intertwined friends that one can literally not live without the other. Paulie truly feels that Georgina is the only person in the entire world who cares about him. By the 1990's (we find out very early on in the book) Paulie has unfortunately passed from complications with AIDS. Part of the mystery of the book is finding out how he got there, as the two narratives (one from the 60's and one from the 90's) come closer and closer together. Georgina is devastated to learn that her once good friend has passed at all, much less this way. She truly felt that he in fact was the only one who cared about her in the entire world. They truly needed each other.

sometimes I just start with my characters as friends, and I'm not sure why they like each other. Those are the sort of things you sometimes have to figure out as the characters develop
