With this comic I wanted to showcase just how BABY and CUTE Ayas relationship with Khalan is!! 💕Is she mean and chaotic sometimes? YeS but look at that face~ I cant shes just so baby!! qwq <33 This has been a big passion project between me and @pekoeboo. I did all the line art and she did all the tones and coloring for this picture!! The biggest thank you to @pekoeboo for also helping me figure out some of the poses and overall planning for the comic!!

Khalan and Eggs belong to @pekoeboo!

(✿◡‿◡) Oh, Aya, my sweet child, that's not very nice! Kids can be so hurtful sometimes. Poor Khalan, he's not even old and yet- Aya insists he is. She may unintentionally say some hurtful things, but she does love him with all her heart!! 💕❤ Even if she thinks he's old~. Big thanks to @pekoeboo!! For doing the shading and helping me format this once again~! <33

Antony and Khalan belong to @pekoeboo!

(≧∇≦)ﾉ The other day, my friend @pekoeboo and I were listening to this song, and we thought!! What?? If Aya took all the food money and just bought cake? That?? would be awful?? They would starve?? YES, and then they would have no money and would be forced to eat ONLY cake for an entire week, -that's hilarious XD BUT they probably could go hunting, tho? They don't have to only eat the cake? ..That's true for Khalan and Antony, but Aya?? NO, she MUST eat the cake. To not eat the cake would suggest she was wrong for only buying CAKE. We all know THATS not true. Her pride won't let her admit defeat. I mean.. look at how happy she is eating it!! Antony's def getting a kick outta it. This was a really fun collab project!! BIG thanks to @pekoeboo 💕for helping during the conceptualizing phases and doing all the shading in this pic!! ;w;; <33

Aaaa yES!! We made a lot of good changes to Home Is Where You Are~!! My friend @pekoeboo updated the page here if you are interested in the story~! 💕❤

- Story Tag Masterlist + Info -

For anyone who wants a brief overview of the most common tags, stories, and characters that I tend to post about, I've compiled a list to hopefully make it a bit easier to follow along! Keep in mind that a lot of the content posted about these stories is either outdated, or subject to change at any time.

Everything is below the cut, as it got rather long.

- Home Is Where You Are -

A collaborative effort with my friend @cookieg122. HIWYA is a story that follows the journey of three OCs (Khalan, Aya, and Antony) as they discover who they are and what it means to be a family. Initially based on some stuff that happened in a few Minecraft servers, but over time has shifted into a fully original story. It's split into three acts, each focusing on a different part of the characters' journey:

Act I Originally based on the Drehmal: Primordial/Apotheosis Minecraft adventure map that my friends and I had played on some time ago, but now has been replaced with Atria; an original world that @cookieg122 and I are building together.

This current version of the story has Khalan and Aya getting whisked away from their home worlds into Atria by an unknown force. Act I focuses mostly on their growing relationship and their goal to try and return Aya back to her home world of Bocca. However, some of the gods of Atria are not pleased about Khalan and Aya's arrival, as their mere existence seems to defy the very nature of the world, so things get chaotic as the gods desperately try to set things right again.

Act II Aya and Khalan try to escape the wrath of the gods by utilizing a broken portal in an attempt to access Bocca, but are instead flung thousands of years into Atria's future; well after calamity had struck the land and the world began anew. The previous god of death makes a return as a power-hungry demon who consumes souls in an attempt to grow more powerful and regain his godhood. Unfortunately, he targets Khalan as his next victim due to Khalan's immortality being exploitable as an infinite source of energy.

This is also when Antony is introduced to the story and becomes a vital character; permanently weaving his way into Khalan and Aya's lives as he attempts to fight against the demon that is tormenting them. Khalan's Journal (abandoned and incredibly outdated fic) happens during this time.

Act III Aya finally manages to figure out a way to create a portal back to her home world of Bocca, though things aren't at all how she remembered it to be upon returning. Reformation is brewing within the Kingdom of Farfalla, and Aya, Khalan, and Antony get heavily involved in the efforts made to change the kingdom for the better; discovering themselves in the process, growing as a family, and taking some time to heal from the heavy trauma they've been shouldering up to that point.

Important extra content regarding basic character overviews/explanations can be found here and here, for anyone interested.

- Ravenwood RP -

Written roleplay universe that my friend @baskervilleshound and I have been working on for some time, though we tend to keep the actual written story part of it to ourselves.

Ravenwood is a mysterious, creepy town nestled in the middle of a forest that doesn't exist on any map. Time appears to be stuck in the early 90s, monsters are known to roam the woods at night, and once you've entered Ravenwood, there's no way to leave. This RP is mostly filled with the sporadic ideas that my friend and I have come up with regarding our characters being placed in such an interesting setting. It's kind of all over the place, but we're just having fun with it.

- Codename: IRIS -

Another story that @cookieg122 and I are working on. Although the characters from HIWYA are used in this story as well, it exists within its own alternate universe.

Codename: IRIS is an story in which a young boy (Khalan) befriends a sentient AI (Aya) within a virtual reality world; using gaming as a form of escape from his abusive home situation and the stress of moving to a new country. Things get out of control as another AI entity known as IRIS v.1 threatens to destroy and corrupt Aya's virtual home, eventually bringing that threat into the real world as well. Both Khalan and Aya, along with the help of their online friend Antony, work together to try and stop v.1's destructive rampage and attempt to also restore Aya's corrupted code and fragmented memories in the process.

Haven't posted much about this one yet, as there's still a lot to it that needs fine-tuning, but here's to hoping that I can share more as time goes on.

-------

So those are the main stories I'm currently working on. I figured I'd keep it limited to just these three for now, though. If you have any questions about them, or other stories I may have posted about as well, feel free to send an ask! I'm always open to sharing more info or clearing up any confusion if possible!

OOh!!! I love stuff like this! Ok-oK!! AaaaA, there are so many lil things about Aya that it is tough to pick just one fact~! I'm just gonna gush about a few things from her main story~!

In Home Is Where You Are, something that always makes me laugh is how Aya periodically sneaks out at night to gamble with their money because?? They NEED the cash, and Aya happens to be really good at gambling. *Wink Wink* So she ends up winning SO much money that the townsfolk get angry and kick them out of the village they are staying at. (YES, this HAS happened multiple times before). (YES, she is 9 years old).

In that same story, Aya also has the ability to use maAgiccc~! One of her more recent spells is her "storage!" Aya can store a few items in her pocket dimension for hands-free carrying. However, there are limitations. There is a time limit tied to how heavy the items stored are. For instance, it would be easy for Aya to store a water bottle and a hairbrush all day with no issues. However, add something heavy into the mix, like, I don't know, a small PANDA BEAR (something she definitely didn't pick up once before), and suddenly, she can only keep up the spell for an hour before it starts taking a physical toll on her.

Gosh, okay, another thing- Aya (being a princess) never learned how to properly open and close doors, as that was something taken care of for her by her attendants. So whenever she opens and closes a door, she ends up slamming it. Not out of anger or anything. She just doesn't understand that the door shouldn't be slammed. You always know when she's entered or left the house. R I P Khalan is the one who has to deal with that. Eventually, she does grow out of this one, but it does make me laugh that it even happened. (One daaaay, she's gonna be really embarrassed she did this~)

This is your politically avoidant sign to reblog and put a fun fact about your OCs in the tags or reblogs! Share something you want an excuse to talk about, something silly, a song they'd like, or something to devastate a really specific person who's overinvested in them! Go crazy!!

the babies!!!! :'D Aya is such a physically affectionate girl and I honestly love that about her ;o; tbh Khalan initially isn't sure how to respond to such a thing, but over time he learns to just accept (and reciprocate!) the hugs and kisses that she loves oh so much <3
