This is a pretty simple one, but I thought it’d be fun to see. I always enjoy Ash and Goh together, and while Goh hasn’t done an entry in Hypno’s series yet (and probably won’t for a while), I thought it’d be fun for them to get hypnotized together for this Ask.
So I knew from some other posts they’d made that this Subscriber was interested in seeing Sakurai and Jun together. Since both guys are defined primarily by their girlfriends, I wasn’t sure if I felt right about jumping right into them just fucking or whatever. However, both guys are pretty athletic, and Sakurai specifically loves going to the gym, so I figured there was some room for them to bond as workout bros. That translated into this Ask, which I hope fans of beefcake will enjoy.
I was reading this Ask when I realized I actually already had an answer to it. I don’t remember the catalyst, but I’ve been sitting on doing something with Butt Witch and Cinderella for a few years now, I think. Even if I don’t remember my original reasons, this is a crack pairing I vibe with and it was fun to finally do something with them together. I figured I’d also use this Ask to imply some other relationships Butt Witch might have in the Studio, and probably Cinderella and maybe a couple others mentioned here will show up on her stream eventually.
So I think if you have two people you spend a lot of time with, it’d be hard to say who you spend more time with unless there was, like, a huge disparity. Rather, I figured Yuji could focus more on using this Ask as an excuse to get them together, since I kinda feel like they wouldn’t share much time all three of them. Both have their own unique dynamics with Yuji, and then when Gojo and Nanami are together they regress to their schoolboy days a bit with Gojo annoying Nanami and trying to get a reaction out of him. So that’s how we got here; I hope it makes sense.
I don’t usually do Asks like this one, but something about this crossover clicked for me. Gohan has a few tenuous connections to the Gems, but mostly I just kinda vibed with him getting along with these two. It probably didn’t hurt that I got to draw Lapis and Peridot doing something together, which I’m in favor of.
So this one is a bit different than usual, as no one actually asked O.D. a question. However, when I read it, I immediately thought of them. Maybe that’s just due to my own biases and internalized stereotypes or whatever, but it’s very easy to picture them in charge of something like beautifying the talent. Since they rarely make on-screen appearances I’m sure it gives them something to do, too. Anyway, I’m not sure what this Subscriber had in mind for how this question might be answered, but it gives me the opportunity to flesh out a little behind the scenes lore in the Studio.
