did u make guseuls doc no longer public?? the link doesn't work for me :,((
hellooo!! i absolutely LOVEEEEEEE ur ocs and ur writing process is so cool especially the way u organize them :OO i have been following u ever since 2019 and i’ve wanted to know what u use to organize the information for example the recent guseul’s since it always look so nice T^T i always just use google docs… i cant wait to learn more abt ur ocs and see more lore on them esp guseul!!!
how do you usually take notes/how is your writing process? I really like the way you write, specially in your toyhouse<3
hiiii!! oh my gosh, my writing process is erm. interesting... i write mostly in chunks or phrases of 2-3 words, then keep mixing and matching them. you can see some it in these screencaps when i was just starting out to write mortise's backstory: 1 2 3 ... this probably creates more questions than answers but it is truly a mystery to me too
Hello hellooo!! Been a fan for around two??ish?? Years now and I’ve always adored your creative process and art style!! And your character design and writing capabilities utterly awe me and just wanted you to know that hehe,, but as for my ask I was wondering if there was anyway I could learn more abt ur ocs? I’m aware u have a th and I’ve checked on it but was just asking bc the need to consume is dire ‼️‼️
hihi hi!! omg sorry this is three months later. T_T thank youuuu this is so sweet.. im holding this ask close to my heart. unfortunately there's not really a way to see more, but i have a goal this year to revamp/update my toyhouse so that it's more accessible, especially with the 90312 new ocs i have! a lot of writing on there is from when i was maybe 16 or 17 so it's a little embarrassing lolol.
Of all your ocs, which one is your favorite?
hi me and my friend inherited the crk guild due to inactivity did you guys like want the leadership back or something 💀💀💀 idk if you've already asked for it from him because I haven't logged on in a hot second
hi I've really loved your art and ocs for years! How did you get started with rp and making friends to talk about OCs with cause it's something i'm really struggling with right now haha
hi!! i love your oc Mariëlle and i was wondering if there was more lore or info on her character! also what font did you use for her character sheet?
hello~ mariëlle is a throwaway character for a shared oc universe i made with my friend! in that universe, demons/angels/supernatural creatures are all known as "numen", and magic takes inspiration from the principles seen in weather phenomena! mariëlle hasn't really been used in the universe, but a lot of my new characters are, like crecélle, whom i posted a WIP of on my main account :-) hopefully i can introduce more characters soon~
the fonts i used for her character sheet are spectral and spectral SC!
honestly not a ask but I really really love all your ocs , i do know your th is pretty old but like .. it's so nice to look at and take in all of your ocs. i want to eat them and squish them + i really love rinko , her pink and moth bug themed design speaks to my soul oughgo..
hi!! what program do you use for art? what pen's do you use mostly for coloring?
hi! i use photoshop for art~
as for brushes, i mainly use the "gouache" brush from this set by loish with the pressure turned off:

hi!! im so in love with how you write prose for your characters in your toyhouse— whats your general process when you create ocs? what do you prioritise and what steps do you take when making them?
thank you so much!! my oc creating process involves collecting various sources of inspiration and media that i feel could be grouped as the same "person"... like "oh, i think the oncept of corpse wax pairs well with this image of an old victorian mansion, the idea of loneliness, and this song has similar vibes too"... i collect the articles and images in my personal discord server to archive, and begin to build a sort of media archive for them in my head. they often marinate for a long time (months or years!), just like little seeds of ideas that germinate when they're ready. i often refer to this as "still microwaving" the concept haha.
(actually, my toyhouse is super outdated; it's full of old writing and art from like... the 2016-2017 era?? i should really give it an update soon... )
what program do you use to write? google docs, scrivener, something else...
i’ve always wanted to know what font you often use for story writing or character descriptions! i’ve been agonising on it for an embarrassing amount of time… also what do you use to add text to create character sheets?
when you say "campaigns," what do you mean? like, D&D? or some sort of RPG?
I would love to know more about Meiyue and Rinko please…! May i ask you to spill me their entire lores, i don’t mind if they’re imcomplete, i just really want to know…!!!
the lore for meiyue runs deep and also sort of spoils for one of my campaigns, so i'll can't really say much... BUT! she's intended to be a genius pianist who is thoroughly controlled by her mother... as the magical girl, Zenith, she takes her repressed anger out on the crystalline beasts that threaten the city. when Meiyue is Zenith, she's violent and cutting with her words (and actions)... literally "im a healer, but—"
as for rinko, her canon lore hasn't been fully established yet, but a constant across all universes is her ability (or perhaps curse)? to generate pink, dust-like moths from her hair, which she can see through via their "fake" eyespots (which are real in this case). this ability always develops after an event in which she and her (toxic) best friend, kasane, encounter [something] in the woods. what happens afterwards varies, but it's never a good time for rinko...
