Genesis likes black coffee, Alois only drinks coffee if it's sickenly sweet/loaded with sugar, and Alma doesn't like coffee and will drink tea instead. Solaris likes both coffee and tea, Echo doesn't like coffee and drinks either milk or tea, Silence isn't picky and will drink anything you hand them, Francis drinks anything with caffeine in it (absolutely a coffee enjoyer), Lumi doesn't like coffee and will drink energy drinks, Malaika thinks coffee is okay but doesn't really enjoy it as much as she wishes she did

Wait no, now I wanna make HPA Alma a teacher again wjjfkwkf GalaxE and Spec are gonna pwn me at some point for my indecisiveness. Thing is that I don't want to cause one of them to have to do more work with character creation to fill in the student gap qjcjnamcmakd I hate myself

Okay but imagine Forums Wiley leaving out a plate of food and when he comes back the scene is like:

Missy: *standing near plate*

Wiley, slowly getting closer: "Don't you dare"

Missy: *raises paw, mrring*

Wiley: *stops in place* "N o ."

And it's a stare-down for a bit before Wiley lunges foward. He's just a bit too slow; Missy snatches a fish stick and then knocks the plate off wherever Wiley left it, running away while Wiley is screeching

Are you sure you didn't mean passionate instead of compassionate? Because "very compassionate" and "a little sympathy" do not match well last I checked

Edit: Checked Merriam-Webster and am still confused, though I guess I can infer that maybe you meant that they sympathize with people who are poor/sick/injured/etc.? But that would still fall into the definition of compassionate meaning "highly sympathetic," so yeah, sorry for the confusion, but specification would be nice :3.

Thanks for the explanation. My personal conclusion based on my understanding (come to think of it, I spend a bunch of time nowadays thinking about empathy and sympathy lol) is that compassion isn't quite the right word for it. "Caring" would work, though.
The reason is that both sympathy and empathy are grounded in being able to feel those emotions, with their difference being, as you somewhat implied, personal experience. Empathy is being able to feel for someone due to having experienced a similar experience to the cause of their emotions, while sympathy is being able to feel for someone even while having not experienced a similar experience to the cause of their emotions. For instance, if you haven't experienced the death of a loved one but can still feel sad for someone who has had a loved one die, that's sympathy. If you have experienced that for yourself and can personally feel sad with someone who has had the same experience, that's empathy. But the difference isn't in having experienced those emotions or not. If someone has felt sad before, that doesn't directly mean they can be empathetic towards someone who's lost a family member. There are many types of sadness, because there are many sources for it. A similar example is how we can feel sympathy for children who are victims of war, because maybe we have felt emotions like abandonment, terror, and such, but that doesn't mean we can be empathetic towards them, since we haven't experienced the specific terror of losing our home in one night, maybe being crippled by some indirect event within the fighting, being in fear of being killed by soldiers for no logical reason, etc.
Of course, I can't put down solid conclusions about Silence's capability to feel emotions and really don't have an interest in doing so--solid conclusions aren't really fun--but again, imo, "caring" probably cuts it in the place of compassion. I could talk more about my own interpretation of emotions, but really, in this case, it feels like you ought to cut one or the other ("compassion" or "limited sympathy").

I like to think that sometimes Alma will accidentally/randomly use Southern phrases and stuff but without the accent and Alois will repeat them in a heavy accent to tease Alma and Alma gets flustered over it because he truly doesn't realize he uses phrases so much

Kinda like when I said "y'all" one too many times and GalaxE and Spec decided to spam "Y'ALL" for a good while as I died at the side

Alois: "I am Evil! I am a Bad Person! Grr!"

Also Alois: *contributes to multiple communities, tries to change the laws that makes everyone's lives worse and replaces them with better laws that work, makes sure to punish actual terrible people by tricking them into confession and tricking them to sell their souls, has a strong sense of care and protectiveness towards people who are weaker than him (although he would never confess that lmao)*

Alois: "I am a Vile Creacher ):<!!! I am Irredeemable! Fear me and my Demon-ness!!!"

If things were different, I believed Solaris and HDK would get along very well and drink tea together, and perhaps HDK would be able to understand Solaris' gibberish very easily

The thing is that I can see both of them having Gifted Child Burn-Out Syndrome (mood)

Echo wrote:

North sketches, one with his hair tied back and one with hair down


Okay, onto some explaining some more about the Forum Twins lmao

Okay so both Echo and North have very unnatural muscle. With North, it's less noticeable since he's very active, but Echo is Depresso Expresso and doesn't do a lot, making her muscle very unnatural since she doesn't use it. "Somehow" child experimentation her muscle stays, as well as her body weight stays the same

Also I might change North's height to be shorter, like Echo

They both have "cloud" hair when it's down owo

I also am giving Glitchians that sort of sharp nail thing I do with Ruin on both hands and feet, kinda to make them more "bird-like"

In theory right now, in the Lore, Glitchians were probably some king of elf-type humanoid species that mutated/developed/or evolved into what they are now for unknown reasons. Magical mutation is my main answer because it sounds cool and makes sense of why they have useless features that wouldn't help them in the world they live in, as well as it makes sense of why they develop in such a weird/random way (along with their magic being random as well)



Ignoring how terrible this drawing is, this is sorta my idea of the magic circle indents on their arms. Still going with the idea that their skin will "bleed" when they summon weapons. I kinda like the idea of the "blood"not actually being blood too, but rather just some kind of substance that hardens the skin in their inner arms. Maybe older Glitchian arms are really thick and rough like leather? Maybe they also have sorta an unrealistic beauty stereotype that soft inner arms are more pretty and nice (especially since their species focuses on beauty) and maybe there is like, a huge market on softening lotions and pills (kinda like how we have de-aging products). Maybe they even have beauty magazines

Adding on, I like the idea that since they don't have,,, human parts/are like Barbie Dolls, there is a whole-body tattoos beauty standard too, like people get these really pretty designs on their bodies and get a good portion of their bodies covered and, like, there are a lot of model magazines with Glitchians showing off their bodies in an aesthetic kind of way, so like, no clothing (which to them wouldn't be taboo, I think, especially since they are a fully asexual species)

I still like the idea of them having some kind of "medieval fantasy" type aesthetic too, and I kinda use lolita style on them for fashion, especially Silence. So that's a thing

Whoo, info dump

 
Reference stuff I need for later

Ok just hopping in, that coloring is so nice.

Also she really sounds like a menace to the people. Like why? Ik it's lady like but... anything else?

Forums Silence is unwillingly a mom at this point and she is very angry about it

although she's kinda a crappy mother figure lmao

What if Apollo used his shadow puppets to make puppets of his siblings, but since he has only seen what they would look like currently-ish from photos and pictures, he usually creates them from memory of when all of them were little. And he sits down and talks to them and reenacts old memories

Pain

Ruin just sips coffee and dies a bit more on the inside with each sip

I feel like Ruin would really like fuzzy socks. Idk why, he just has that vibe. He has a warm vibe. Which is funny because he's a bit of a moody grouch XD I think he would really like the spring time because of all the bugs and flowers
