[[Anyone else getting a glitch where drafts of reblogs, when published, they say they’re reblogged from you? My activity feed is out of whack because I put RP threads in my drafts.]]

✿ – why did you choose to make your muse?
[[A few years back, I learned that ask blogs existed. It looked like fun, and there was decent character development on side characters from TV shows, original characters, and even main characters had unique spins. I thought, maybe I could do that too…
After a while of admiring and anonymously asking several ask blogs (many of which, sadly, are closed today), I tried to think of a character.
At the time, I was loath to do fan art/fics/etc., so I tried to think of a completely original character. I was really into Toons at the time (still am), and I really liked many Toon blogs (still do), so I thought I would make the Fourth Wall Repairman (it seemed funnier at the time).
Shout-out to @askshinko, @askoctavia (now gone, sadly), @askvaudeville, and many other Tumblr blogs for inspiring me to do this.
Fun Fact: The Fourth Wall Repairman was originally going to be a Toon monkey named Manky (I wasn’t thinking about Pokemon at the time), who happened to have the career. For several reasons, he became the inkblot we know today.]]
((I would be interested to see what the concept art would’ve been for the monkey version of him. XD ))
[[Sorry for the delay!]]
[[I imagine he would look something like this, if I went ahead with the idea. I never fully fleshed out his look before. However, given the hypothetical asks I imagined, he would have been a bit more of a jerk.
I mentioned that I changed from “inkblot cartoon” to “inkblot” for a few reasons. Here are the reasons I remember:
– I was newer to computer art, and even on paper I was less than comfortable drawing a form like Manky’s over and over. The Repairman was far simpler.
-As I said, I never fully fleshed out Manky’s form.
-Why would an artist that’s making a Toon for work and not show spend a lot of time designing its form? I doubt the Repairman even has a proper reference sheet!
I considered having the Repairman eventually go through a “Redesign” or “Body Shop,” but at this point, I’m too attached to the way he looks now.]]
Hiatus
[[Hopefully, a brief one. Life happens, so I won’t be updating this blog for a bit. Hope to come back soon!]]
[[Did I say “hiatus”? I should have said “Will post less frequently.”]]

Hey, @staff, I’d like to let you know that changing my password meant that I can’t log in using Firefox anymore. I tried changing the password again, but it’s still not working. What gives?
♧ – what fandom do you really want to join in the rp community?
[[The Repairman has no universe to himself, so he could conceivably dabble in any animated/drawn/rendered universe and fandom. With that said, it would be neat to be involved more with the Roger Rabbit fandom with him.
If I were to commit to a fandom with a different muse, I might join the Crash Bandicoot RP community. There’s one character I think I could add to the mix…]]

♔ – list all of your muses, active and non-active
[[Sorry, this one isn’t that interesting:
Active:
-Fourth Wall Repairman
Inactive (existing):
-None
With that said, I may, at some point, have other muses. I do have a couple of ideas…]]
Totally forgot about those. By all means go right ahead and use them! :)
[[Thanks. Forgot about that faux pas back then, but I’ll remember this if I do something similar in the future.]]
[[Something I realized I should clear up]]
[[This recent RP reminded me of something:
A long time ago, I started and later abandoned an arc that took place in Toontown Online/Rewritten.
I think I am going to retcon (and possibly redo) this arc. I’ll leave it up, but I’ll end up re-doing it eventually. I’m not too happy about it, looking back, and I could have done more with the ideas (especially now that I have a clearer idea of what the Repairman is like).
Looking back, there’s another thing I need to address. I was still rather inexperienced with RP and art etiquette, and forgot to ask @lennythereviewer for permission to use of one of his cog posters in a background (and even forgot to credit him until a later edit, yikes). I know it’s been a while, but I do apologize for that. I’ll delete that particular post if you like, Lenny.
In any case, please consider this VP encounter to be prior to these events, and relatively unrelated.
Thank you.]]
