August Q&A

Glad we managed to squeeze this in even tho it's a very packed month. Ty to DarlingCosplays for transcribing the call!

• How much rizz do all of the characters have?

  • Rue has none, Quinn has a lot but it gets obnoxious, Piper is extremely charismatic, Warren has that dark and broody energy but no rizz, Griff has Griff rizz.

• What was everyone like in their tween/early teen years? Clodagh, Regan, and Drain included

  • Rue was still just as awkward, Quinn was less confident than he is now, Piper had more of a rebellious streak but matured out, Warren was a lot softer and less stand-offish, Drain was a lot more innocent, no comment on Griff.

• What type of alt fashion does Regan have? Is it more goth, emo, scene or a mix?

  • A mix of goth and a little scene, but honestly Regan is doing their own thing.

• Do you promise to haunt the corporate executives who will inevitably approve the soulless corporate reboot of Far-fetched from beyond the grave?

  • Oh, absolutely.

• Looking back on it, was revealing the show to the public as relatively early as you did a decision you still stand by?

  • Yes and no. Ashley would have liked to have done more shorts (10-30 seconds) before jumping into the pilot.

• If the characters (Sesamoid + Drain, Regan and Clodagh) were in the Umbrella Academy universe, what powers would they have?

  • Neither of them have watched the Umbrella Academy :(

• Has Drain ever killed anyone either accidentally or otherwise?

  • “No comment.”

• Will we ever see any AU-like episodes?

  • It’s definitely a possibility!

• Was Rue a replacement keyboardist or first pick?

  • Not even close to the first pick. She can play but she’s not that great at it, and is forced into adapting.

• What would the Far-fetched characters be like during bingo night with Clodagh?

  • Everyone but Piper and Griff would be bored out of their minds. Alternatively, Warren might have a bit of a compulsive personality that gets unlocked if enabled.

• What animal would everyone be as an LPS (Littlest Pet Shop toy)

  • Rue is bunny, Quinn is fox, Piper is cat, Griff is most likely possum, Warren is cow

• What would a drug trip be like with Sesamoid?

  • Pretty much already seen it with the latest FF comic with expired Papa Swirl ice cream!

• If they were trapped in a Disney movie, which would it be?

  • Live action Far-Fetched movie that no one watches, (Hocus Pocus as the real answer)

• What would everyone wear to the beach/pool?

  • Rue full wetsuit, Quinn bathing suit with sundress cover up big hat and sunglasses, Piper cute and frilly bikini combo, Warren just regular swim trunks and t shirt, Griff just in underwear or naked.

• Is there anyone in Sesamoid Quinn would let see him at a lower point/upset for real (besides maybe Clodagh and Rue)?

  • He hasn’t let any of the other Sesamoid members in yet, there is character development for that in the works. He’s the most scared of opening up to Warren and that’s probably the most important person with how their friendship is.

• Are there monster hunters in the FF universe and if yes what's their deal?

  • Yes, but we can’t tell you their deal. There are ones that are a little gimmicky, and then there are real monster hunters that work for Blair and such.

• What is everyone's worst fear?

  • Rue being perceived, Kira disappearing, Quinn being ignored, Piper being held back, Griff is seeing people hurt, Warren is the past repeating itself, Drain is his outsides reflecting his insides.

• Can we have more hamsters and rats in the show?

  • For you, Ciz, yes.

• Are the monsters in that world all based on well known beasts/myths or will there be fully original creatures? Or even aliens?

  • We have monsters based on myths as well as completely original ones i.e made up cryptids, mutants, etc.

• Do any of the characters know how to swim?

  • Maybe Quinn is the only one who doesn’t know how to swim.

• What does Reagan think about each band member?

  • They like Warren because they have the same respect for each other and are more introverted, they are fascinated by Griff and respect him for doing him, they don’t like Quinn, especially him taking advantage of Piper, Regan would be a little worried that Rue is silently judging them because she is so quiet.

• Would you guys ever do a documentary style episode?

  • That’s kind of what’s happening with the pilot. Not “documentary” per say, but different bits in the actual camera versus screen.

• Which one of the far-fetched characters are most likely to end up as a tumblr sexy man

  • “Head guy”

• What would be each of the gang’s favorite irl restaurants? (like olive garden / chilis / texas roadhouse)

  • Rue would like KFC, Warren likes Dennys, Drain likes Baskin Robbins

• I think it was confirmed magic exists in this world, is it like a cartoony sorcerer magic (like mlp) or magic more close to irl witch spells?

  • Magic kind of exists in nature, won’t go into it too much as it’s subject to change. But it is very difficult to tame and use.

• Does Drain have a driver's license?

  • No.

• Does Quinn have a habit of breaking drumsticks?

  • Yes, Quinn constantly is twirling/fidgeting with them and other things.

• What are y'all Headcanon voices for Regan and Clodagh?

  • Want genuine Indigenous and Irish voice actors for Regan and Clodagh respectively. Maud Pie vibes for Regan, not something specific in mind for Clodagh.

• What is Drain's favorite type of Monster energy drink?

  • He has his own special vampire exclusive flavor.

• Quinn and Drain inside in a blocked elevator. What would  happen?

  • Nothing good. Making quiet snide comments every now and again, staying on one side each of the elevator.

• Has drain ever dyed his hair different colors if so what colors?

  • Most likely. Could have gone for a vibrant red before, maybe it faded down to the pink it is now and he likes it (just don’t call it pink)

• Would Rue ever get Kira one of those buttons people get for dogs to help them communicate with their owner?

  • Yes, she would tell Rue she loves her, and for Quinn she would just keep going “bitch”

• You mentioned monsters being an open secret already, but just to check: ignoring any potential spoilers, and Drain being an obvious answer, what are Sesamoid & Co.'s opinions on the supernatural/spiritual? Or who's more keen with supernatural shenanigans and who isn't?

  • More of the gang is aware of the supernatural than you might think, but they try to act normal about it. Quinn kind of tries to ignore it because he doesn’t want it getting in the way of his band's success.

• How old is Blair?

  • Born in 1958, 50 years old.

• What are some of Regan’s hobbies or other interests aside from being the band's special effects and tech person?

  • Definitely into online nerd culture, arcades, experiments

• How do you guys feel about people making fan redesigns?

  • Go for it!

• If short form content existed more prevalently in the early 00's, what kind of channels would the Sesamoid crew run if they had their own channels?

  • “Sesamoid variety hour”

• What music do you listen to when you're trying to shape the characters? Are there specific songs that are at a character's core concept?

  • Check out the character’s playlists, available on the Far-Fetched website!

• Where can I get information on the current rates for animation jobs like clean up etc? Particularly for indie productions?

  • Hard to really give a solid answer, there isn’t quite an online resource for it.

• If you had the time and resources, which of Sesamoid's cover songs would you make a fully animated music video for?

  • Terror Time. Would have been Don’t Fear the Reaper if it weren’t already going all out.

• If or when Sesamoid becomes famous, what would happen to the band's living arrangements? Would they get a house big enough for everyone, separate houses or extend Clodaugh's house so Quinn doesn't have to move out?

  • No way is Quinn living with all of them, he’d waste his money on a big house and Clodagh would still live there. Rue would want something cozy and put her money into stuff instead of a house. Piper would put most of her money into helping others and putting it into cosplay. Griff would put it in savings as directed by Warren. Warren would want to buy land.

• What would the band's reaction be if they found out that Warren was crushing on someone? And what would be their reaction if they discover someone was interested in him?

  • Everyone would be in his business trying to figure it out, Piper wants to make sure they’re good enough for him. Quinn would be like “how?”. Griff. “Oh cool, a new friend?”

• What's everyone's MBTI?

  • No answer on that currently!

• Who would they be if they were MLP characters?

  • Piper is Pinkie Pie, Regan is Maud, Warren is Applejack, Quinn is a mix of Rainbow Dash and Rarity, Rue is Fluttershy, Griff is Treehugger, Drain is Zephyr

• What is the Farfetched gang’s most controversial food combos?

  • Grilk or cake with ketchup for Griff. Rue’s is just PLAIN cheeseburger, sometimes not even with cheese. Piper fries in teriyaki sauce. For Quinn, some wild creation from Clodagh called “the casserole”. Warren grilling watermelon or some odd fruit.

• Are there going to be any fourth wall breaks?

  • Not sure if there will be any fourth wall breaks. 

• How does one effectively attempt to express their personal viewpoint through character without stepping over the line of self-insert?

  • Make characters that are meant to demonstrate your values, but not necessarily HAVE your values.
