Hivemind(ed) Mini Update & Sincere Thanks.
Added 2025-12-23 09:44:00 +0000 UTCHey everyone, just want to thank you all for your support towards the multitude of projects that I have been doing this past year. I know 2025 isn't over yet, but as I get on with these darned summary pages and get more characters created for the classroom scene I just wanted to thank you all and get a little bit of content out for you.
I'm trying to get more out for you all as soon as possible, but with Christmas literally two days away now I'm finding that a bit difficult between familial responsibilities and visiting friends away from home. To qualify what I'm saying; yesterday me and my Dad went to visit several friends and family members for well wishes/ annual catching up and then was stuck at the local doctors surgery and pharmacy for hours trying to get my Dad's medication sorted out before Christmas. We are visiting more today and then getting the last of his medication tomorrow, which shall likely be another few hours with the way the doctors and pharmacists are busy this time of year, plus traffic.
What the plan is at the moment is getting 'before and after biographical pages' which highlight and explain key plot points, but also give deeper lore and direct visual comparisons between the states of the characters pre and post transformation. Up top is a WIP of Arnold's, but Azra's shall likely be the first completed as she is arguably the genesis of the story and her page is the closest to true completion.
Thank-you for your support and patience again. Hopefully I can get something to you either tonight or tomorrow.

Three antennae argument primarily- It'd possibly conflict with future designs... If he changes further. ;) Additional consideration was given that it'd not follow with the straighter hair of the queen, of whose genes Arnold's semi-inherited. If you want further lore reasoning then the 50/50 amalgamation that'd begun through the 'Queening Ceremony' has had the effect of Charlotte's DNA overriding the genetic information of his ahoge.

2025-12-23 17:51:47 +0000 UTCHaha, I am already doing this, but two more friends of Audrey's, two friends of Arnold's, some bully types and a teacher at a minimum are required. Ideally I could do with more friends of Audrey's, but this shall have to suffice for now. I need these for plot and TF advancement.

2025-12-23 11:15:10 +0000 UTCWhen you talk about completing the background characters, I think of the early episodes of RWBY where they used a lot of shadow people for background characters to cut down on animation budget: https://www.reddit.com/r/fnki/comments/z4no79/whos_your_favorite_shadow_person_in_v1_i_always/ . The more what you produce is a comedy, the more you can get away with such shortcuts, by making it part of the gag. So just offering an option, particularly if a character is only around for a scene and never speaks, would be a waste to fully model them.
