So for a few different reasons I’m always hesitant to say two characters are a “couple” in the Studio if they aren’t in the source material. Even ones like Nanami and Tiana or whatever I usually just present them more as fuck buddies. The one exception is the handful of characters who I feel like are presented as a couple in the source material, but just aren’t confirmed (usually because it was taboo to do canon gay couples until fairly recently). Yuji and Inosuke, being from different series, obviously don’t fit into that, and I also just don’t know if I see their dynamic as romantic. They definitely feel to me more like friends who happen to fuck, like it’s easier to picture them goofing around than being heartfelt I guess. Anyway, I figured I’d try and answer this in their own words, with a little eye candy to boot.
When “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” came out I began thinking about doing something with the old animated series design of Lydia. I only saw this show a handful of times as a kid, but I’ve seen this version of Lydia around a lot in various places. Lydia’s relationship with her step-mom is pretty strained in both the original film and the cartoon, although the sequel did show a more nuanced and sweet side to their dynamic.
The Film Appreciation Club is a bit of a weird one, as I feel it’s a lot more open than the other clubs. Almost any character could hypothetically fit in this club, so the list of members is a bit all over the place. I started it with the canon film buffs, characters who talk about movies a lot in the source material. From their I extended it a bit to characters who have memorable or noteworthy scenes watching movies or going to the theater. Eventually I’d like to explore a bit more some characters who don’t have movies in their home universes, but seem like they’d be into them once they got to the Studio. That’s a bit trickier, although Eren here is kinda an example of that.
I added all three of the AOT core trio to this club based primarily off their little AU scene from the end of the finale film, but of course the mainline versions of these characters are never shown watching films. I think it’d make sense for the wider world of AOT to have early filming technology, but probably Paradis did not.
Anyway, as I’m sure some of you have noticed I’ve been trying to theme the pics of these cards a bit to their respective clubs. For the film club I didn’t really want to show them, like, posing in a theater or something, so I came up with the idea of having them instead pose with a film they’ve brought to the club. I think this could be a fun way to add a bit of character depth to any future FAC cards.
I combined these two Asks, since the answers I felt best fit both were the same. Oliver has a lot in common with the teen versions of Trunks and Goten, I think. Beyond the super strength and flying, these versions of Trunks and Gohan also spent some time as super heroes in the manga so I feel like they have plenty to bond over.
So this Ask kinda references back a couple of Aki’s old Asks. I used him here since he has a fairly memorable scene involving enjoying some coffee in season one, but in that scene he’s making his own coffee at home. However, we’ve established through one of his Asks that he has a habit of losing his mornings due to staying in bed with some casual fling, so when that happens he’ll grab a quick coffee from the Studio amenities. Also, and this was not intentional, but he’s also posed like Momo was in his ask with her way back when.
Maybe a bit of a straightforward or obvious answer here, but I think Canute and Desna could hook some good cock by presenting themselves as a package deal. For the guys the got for this Ask, I wanted to go outside the usual handful of tops I draw frequently, so they got Ogun from Fire Force and Yami from Black Clover.
