Of the characters I had in mind for Jiro to scout, I thought Bocchi would be good on guitar. She wasn’t in the Studio yet when I made the plan, but she’s here now and been waiting to get out of the 1 Club. I fully plan for all of Kessoku Band to end up in the Studio eventually, but until then she can play with Jiro and Kim, and pull double duty once they all get in.
I’ve been really happy to see how well-received Ember and Silas have been, but they’ve mostly just worked with each other with a couple exceptions. I thought it’d be fun to see Ember branch out a little bit, but I wanted to keep with what’s been established with her. So she brought Eren back from a previous pic for another round, along with Ginyu, who we saw (sort of) palling around with Silas at the Halloween party last year.
Here is May’s One-Shot comic and, as always, the script for this was submitted by one of my Subscribers. The premise of this One-Shot is pairing up older sisters with their younger siblings, with a selection from a few different anime. With the exception of the final panel I believe each of these pairings brings at least one new character to the Studio, which is kind of fun.
It occurred to me while working on this one that the question may have been specifically fishing for a shota to dominate Butt Witch, but I think even if I interpreted it that way that wouldn’t fit her well. In her source material, Butt Witch hates children and adolescence in general, so when she works with younger-bodied characters in the Studio she’s channeling that energy. I don’t really think she’d voluntarily take a submissive role with a shota. That being said, I do think she’d have fun getting roughed up a bit with the right top, and I went with someone I thought could give it to her well.
From a meta perspective, Scorpia and Ed’s situations are similar. Both have canon limbs that are annoying/time consuming to draw or pose, and replacing them with conventional limbs would make it easier for me to draw them more often. However, I feel like the non-meta details are very different between the two, with the canon explanations for how it’d be achieved being completely different as well as what Scorpia and Ed would both think about it. I tried to use that for Scorpia’s answer here.
