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(actually, my toyhouse is super outdated; it's full of old writing and art from like...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... )
