wise words Obi👏
What advice do you have for an anyone trying to write poc characters more accurately?
Though I know it’s not up to minorities to educate the masses, I figured as an Afro-Latino creator you might have some helpful insight to share with us.
Best advise I can give is to write them as people. In this day an age there is a lot of criticism about how we should depict a race. And it doesn't help that the media has become so obsessed and meticulous about how we are supposed to portray people of color that they forget they are people. Not something that needs to be categorized and given subgroups. Yeah, it's not easy writing about ethnic cutlers, and most time I avoid it and write fantasy cuz I know I am going to miss something, and some one is going to get pissed about it. We are people, we are going to mess up. Heck, I've bin corrected of my own cultural background several times, both by my own people of the DR and those who have never stepped foot on the island (DR- Dominican Republic) What can you do but say hey, I'm sorry, I'm human. I'll try to remember next time. Writ however you see fit, however you think would satisfy YOU. That is the first step, then focus on the little things. It is nice to consider a characters cultural background, but if the story is about you living in the city while fighting off an alien invasion, who cares if you black, white, Hispanic, Asian or an Irish whitewashed vampire that moved to the stats and works nightshifts wearing Egyptian gothic fantasia robs with a white button up and slacks. Story is a story, just have fun with it.

Real...
being genderfluid is wanting to be a pretty boy but a handsome girl but somehow neither at the same time

Part 4 of my 'f*** you *ungators your boys*' joke.
I think this one came out okay, but the eye was a bit... ehhh
@obsidian-lantern
Part 2 of my 'ungator boys' series imma do. Part 3, Bodie's next😏
You know what? F*** YOU!
*Ungators your boy*
@obsidian-lantern
Well, characters wise, I only have 1 Asmr based character, and that's Alfy. I'd quite enjoy being with him since he's a musical little deer and I love music, being a singer and all that.
Bismuth(gem galaxies campaign)- she's pretty chill and is usually the voice of reason. I, on the other hand, can get a bit chaotic but I think I'd like being around her
Hazel(crystal curse)- Hazel is more of an introverted explorer who has WAY too much emotional baggage. We'd definitely just sit and cry together
CHARACTERS FROM OTHER CHANNELS:
@magebunkshelf I'd have to say either Mage since my social battery can die pretty quickly and it wouldn't be too over the top of a conversation. Also, I love video games and he's a sweet little guy.... plus, we're both British ☕️
@obsidian-lantern Surprisingly, I'd say Zefestin. I know he's not really a... 'on land kind of fishy',... YET... but that opens up so many opportunities to introduce him to stuff on land... like skiing.
@dayspriteofficial In all fairness, probably the character I would have the most fun with is Charis. She fits my 'enthusiasm' energy, when I'm willing to interact with others and she's just generally really sweet.
@capitalmaudios, probably Tethys. Now, I know she doesn't like me in the series so far... BUT GIANT WOMAN. Also, i enjoy characters who have her 'I will bite you' and 'go away' energy.
If you could hang out with one of your characters or their listener for a day, who would it be?
Oh fantastic question!
The obvious go-to would be Mitch, but as much as I would adore hanging out with the lil lad, he can be pretty high energy while I'm really not XD I think he's the type to pick up on that though, he seems to get along well with Nem who is also like me on energy. Mitch would be an amazing gaming buddy
Honestly Nem would be really chill, they're soft-spoken and earnest, I think hanging out with them would feel really warm. Plus I think some chill company would mean the world to them
Aru can be a bit of a mild flirt which I never know what to do with, but he knows when to be serious. He's that really huggy friend who's just happy to be friends with you!
Also who wouldn't want to talk with the moth for a day? They're about as shy as it gets but they were coming out of their shell a little by the end of Moth 3, I think they were starting to enjoy spending time with the snowboarder.
Soooo somehow, this question gave me a really cool idea for an audio a little bit down the line, gonna go take some notes...
Really appreciate you, and great question, thanks!
Oh, other VAs, same question about your characters!
The thought of what if Lucretia had also been at the "Feast of the Senses" before Helmut began to see her as Maligula. Helmut definitely saw them as a good match. A pair of eyes :D
As a pansexual, I congratulate you, M. YOUVE MADE THE ORCA WOMAN ATTRACTIVE.... MORE THAN SHE WAS BEFORE
Hope y'all enjoyed the new Tethys the Orca Merfolk audio! Now I can finally share the art I was working on!
Part of the holdup from a May release was my tablet going on the fritz so I haven't been able to draw digitally for a hot minute x.x. Even had to get Obsidian Lantern to aid me to finish up the background and shading (THANK YOU AGAIN, OBI!!!)
I CALL DIBS ON ALFY AND TOOTH SUPPLYING THE FIGHT MUSIC!

ATTENTION BUG ARMY, WE FROGS COME IN PEACE.
For we have a common goal....

Soooooooooo this has been my day.
Hmm... I'm not sure sure how Kaleb would react. He'd probably become a half fruit bat. I can see that.
ALFY ON THE OTHER HAND!
Since Alfy is already a deer halfblood, being human to him would be like the 2nd coming of christ. For as nervous as he gets due to being a halfblood, he does like being half deer. He'd probably panic and be like: "WHERE THE DIVINES DID MY TAIL GO!?", all while trying to get used to having feet and not hooves.
(The poor guy would definitely fall over at least twice)
Bug Army!
Your Bug is I dunno cursed by a wizard or something, and they are turned into a halfblood / demihuman!
What do they become? How do they react? What was that wizard's deal anyway?
Sky = Dragonite
Four = Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Espeon, and Shadow’s Umbreon
Time = Celebi
Legend = Shiny Lopunny specifically
Twilight = Herdier
Wind = Clauncher
Hyrule = Ribombee
Warriors = Aegislash
And finally. Wild = Hisuian Zoroark
Might make a post explaining my reasoning for these Link and Mon parings, might not. Hope you’ll all like this post regardless tho
I AGREE
Vile. Treacherous.
If I find out who did this I will throw hammers at you.
I don't know what I did to deserve that but thank you

OMG HTF X NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE CROSSOVER!!! (I think that's the musical name I'm so sorry if I got that wrong😅)
HEHE I COULDENT RESIST HAVE FOOD MY CHILDEREN listen to the audio tehehe
Based on the AU by @nonsensology
The more Fliqpy tries to flirt, the worse he ends up getting. So it turns out that while Fliq is gnawing his elbows and suffering from wet dreams, Lumpy believes he simply doesn't like him.
But Fliqpy will learn! First, he will learn to understand his feelings, then accept them, then express them, then express them appropriately and in moderation. (It's just more fun for me to throw up problems than to demonstrate their solution, so I just designate them alphabetically ahahahahahahahahah.)
Obi, please, for the love of God. I hope both sides of your pillow are bloody warm tonight😭
If Timmy were to meet his younger self, what would both of them say to each other?
Based on a 'zelda blood moon vs gator boys blood moon' post I did. Instead, enjoy what my bug oc would be doing in the blood moon (pretty much just swinging and hoping for the best)
