idk if i've ever posted sunny days' background/worldbuilding?? but like lowkey at least for the world there's not much *to* tell. it's v much just fictionalized san diego 😭 and i don't think the base concept of "odd job agency" is too crazy on its face either
#sdisv #ocs

my version of putting my ocs through trials and tribulations is knowing wash day is hell on earth for 90% of them
#sdisv #oc

been thinking abt like. oc motivations ig?? bc on the one "i want to work at this detective/odd job agency for money" sounds boring as hell. on the other hand for all of my ocs (for diff Reasons obv) it's an opportunity to use their unique skills while working at a job/place they like 😭
#sdisv

it's not *bad*, just not the same. seo-yun doesn't feel as strongly but she is kinda like "yeah what the hell guys??" but they've always been each other's number 1 supporter despite the age diff (esp since they both helped each other figure out sexuality and gender). siblingisms <3
#sdisv #oc

dipping into black dandyism for some of my oc designs (esp klaus like that's Their Whole Thing) is just what the doctor ordered i think.....
#sdisv #oc

sunny days is both abt black women being forced to stay strong in the face of constant antiblackness + misogynoir, and (for most) forced adultification. but it's also abt still being able to have fun and be yourself in the face of all that
#sdisv #ocs

in a way drawing all my ocs in pants is my government assigned pervert trait (i think there's so many interesting things that can be done w pants but also. a lesbian always in pants is incredibly sexy. To Me. and a suit?!? fugeddaboutit!!)
#sdisv #oc

damn fortune's weave has a big ass cast.... kinda makes me feel more confident in my big ass cast (bc so many fw guys are fun). however (much like fw) my entire main cast is black genderthings which does complicate things i think (getting people to care???)
#sdisv

i would say i well and truly only have a handful of stud/butch ocs (use stud/butch bc not all my charas are blk american) but all of my ocs' gender identities are v heavily informed by blackness + lesbianism and how they almost form a seperate black exclusive gender
#sdisv #oc

genderthing who is so romantic + in love that they sometimes get overexcited and teeter on the edge of being overly clingy (olympia) × stud who can not only handle allat but actively gets Excited abt it bc he's just as romantic + in love (katsuki)
#sdisv #oc

as much (self imposed, optional, totally don't have to do this) work it is to make detective designs for 32 characters for a webcomic (sunny days, which i'm in the process of making) i'm gonna do my best to graduate from an Ideas guy to a "made the thing" guy /j
#sdisv #oc

anyway. enough abt the nuances of racism (at least for the foreseeable) it's time to think abt sunny days in sunset villa!! (which is also in part abt the nuances of racism + racism in relation to queerness) ah,
#sdisv #oc

sarnai and orion are gomez/morticia addams coded to me in a way.... but also vampire x their beloved human coded. two people obsessed w each other but they only show the true depths of their obsession in private.....
#sdisv #oc

valentine is like if bowser was a lesbian. specifically thinking of smrpg bowser (a v foundational experience to me)
#sdisv #oc

just realized i gotta draft a cover for sunny days at some point in time (sooner rather than later) ohhh what if i exploded. don't become an artist who wants to make a big piece of media w your ocs you'll have to come up w promo + promo images 😭 /lh
#sdisv

sarnai has a tendency to latch on to people who are nice to her w/no pretense (growing up rich-ish she had to get a sense of who actually liked her and who was just using her for clout) so once the hazel plane hits the towers they're forever besties
#sdisv #ocs

finally figured out how i wanna handle my massive oc cast.... i think it'd be fun to have "cases" (criminal or otherwise) be handled by a select group of people (like 5 max) and also mixing up said group(s) to get diff chara dynamics. like the specific flavor of how x and y get along yk
#sdisv #oc

finally releasing valentine into the world!! one of my studs w Incredibly long hair. comes off prickly at first, but is nice Enough if you get to know him. enjoys poetry, rock music, and being at the gym a touch too long (and is also 6'4" abt it all)
