Do you have experience in playing the shamisen by chance? I'm afraid one of our performers has fallen ill for tonight's banquet at the palace...

N: I can't admit it in front of him, but he's very good at what he does. Don't tell him tho!

#38 to go, please

38. What memory do they revisit the most often?

N: "I was petrified of the idea of going on stage, even if it was a small one when we debuted. I guess the fact that Yerik made me feel safe right there, is the reason why I revisit this memory the most~"

Y: "I don't like to admit it, but I was so scared back then that I threw up before consoling her... but hey, it turn into a pretty good show!"

18) What embarrasses them?

And C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?

18. What embarrasses them?

For Neeja literally the stupidest stuff, like "Omg I was so nervous I said something dumb". But the peak of her embarrassment is Yerik. She loves him very much, but he's so... Yerik, and overprotective. He gets on her nerves so fast when they're together in public. Surprisingly, this is not the case during concerts!

Yerik on the other hand... he's just a moron, and even if he should be embarrassed about something, he just doesn't care and hides his embarrassment with jokes just to avoid the whole situation!

C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?

Short answer, Y E S.

But if you want a longer answer with le me changing the whole "their own story" to "the One Piece universe", sit down and take a look under the cut <3

Okay, so their job is already uncommon in the One Piece universe. With film Red we just been introduced to the first "canonically" idol character in the story, so the whole concept was already hard to figure out by myself! And as expected, I did a poor job with it. On the other hand, their backstory (as those from many other OCs) is tragic and I'm still trying to make it make sense.

What do I mean with making it make sense? Welp, when creating Yerik and Neeja I decided to not rely on canon characters to develop their story, which made it 10 times harder!! And all of this lead me into a rabbit hole where I tried to figure shit out, and making more OCs to fill up the plot holes in the story, which sounds funny, but isn't lol

Anyways, I end up with 22 OCs for a "simple story" of which I only use 2, because they're the main characters... BUT I'm currently working on linking them to some canon character!! Mostly trying to convince myself that being a little delusional isn't B A D

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk!!

Honourable mentions to the muns of Yerik and Neeja's love interests! You guys rock for sticking around even if I didn't share a one bit of their story. And even if those love stories are just cute little AUs, I love them very much and keep them very close to my heart <3

This was an excuse to share ship art, sorry not sorry

Nothing to say, just ma boi being pretty in ATLUS art style

The funny part of this is that I never thought of drawing in this style but ma bro (ma man, ma dude) asked me if I could replicate it and I took the challenge very personally, so I tried my best and I'll probably keep trying to make it look better! But for now it works~

Today I bring you short hair Yerik and Neeja. It means angst! Ah yes, being enslaved at age 13 was fun, huh?

Anyways, I also brought the family, which also means angst lmao I genuinely can't give them a break... in my defence, I've to say it's been super fun to develop their back story and get to know them a little bit more. Oh, of course, above all, making them Mary Sues and Gary Stus in the way :D
