#I don’t fully know why Cutman from the hit video game series Megaman became so ingrained in my mind as my muse

I think this is my favorite Mega Man comic. If you don’t mind my asking, how did you get into the Mega Man franchise, since you’ve never played the games?

Thank you! That means a lot to me ❤️

To answer your question, I got into Megaman a few years ago when I saw this video randomly in my recommendations:

I thought it was really funny at the time, but for whatever reason I kept coming back to it and thinking about it. Cutman is just such a goofy guy in this! So I just kept daydreaming about different scenarios he’d get himself into, and that eventually morphed into CMDHB! I could go on and on over how I’ve interpreted this video and Cutman just from this starting point but at that point we get into spoilers. Maybe down the line I’ll write more of a thesis statement on that topic once I write more of my own story lol. Just even the CONCEPT of Cutman has such a stranglehold on my psyche that I just HAD to write about him, even though I STILL haven’t sat down to play the games, read the comics, watch the shows, or any other thing like that. My knowledge of this series is entirely based on fanart, the occasional out of context comic page, wikis and a couple of out of context Ruby spears clips. I’m not even joking.

Most of the time I just take what I see out of context and try to spin it into a funny joke or something that I consider interesting. Even if I get something “wrong” I still have a lot of fun with it. I guess the main thing I like about the series is looking at these funky little robots with their silly little characters designs and two sentence personality blurbs and writing and drawing stories based on that. It’s why I’m always looking into what the fan base is doing too, cuz there really is a running theme here of making a lot out of a little. You end up with a lot of cool interpretations based off of characters that initially look pretty simple. One of these days I’ll probably engage with an official work though lol. This is actually why my username is what it is. Cuz I always try my best to write these characters in a way that’s interesting and makes sense when compared to canon (as far as I know) but if I get it wrong, hey I warned you “I’ve never played megaman”.

Kind of an unusual answer I know, but I just plain like Cutman’s vibes! And I still have a LOT of jokes and stories to tell with these guys!

TLDR: I saw one (1) meme about Cutman and I got obsessed with him

#asks #a very good question! #I don’t fully know why Cutman from the hit video game series Megaman became so ingrained in my mind as my muse #But hey inspiration is inspiration #But for real he is such an interesting character to me and if I don’t write about him I’d probably explode
