Feel free to skip if you just wanna enjoy the art and not hear about a character attachment story!
__________
Okay, hear me out. How could I have left aside one of my characters in which I would always go to as a child for comfort and reassurance? I suppose that it was because some traumatic memories are attached to him, and boy, did I torture this poor guy. Some of my old watchers might remember H, the former bat boy with a dark backstory. To me, he was more than an oc, I used to feel like he was real, and couldn't feel that way with any other character I have. I made him suffer more than any other character, too, with themes such as mental disorder, self harm and famine. While my mind was too foggy to understand my situation, I thought I was just making an edgy story. But now, that I can see it from an older me perspective... I was kinda projecting situations I WAS going through, on him. And then, suddenly I didn't want this character anymore, but I never actually let go. Even though I mentally tried to "delete" him, I'd once in a while think again "oh yeah, H is one of my characters too. One of my favorites", and forget about him again until the next time.

One thing that was my routine as a child was to be in the dark, both literally and figuratively. I won't go in depth with how my personal life was at the time, but due to my mom being terminally ill she'd unintentionally neglect me, I used to think that I was auto sufficient by microwaving junk food and eating it twice a day. I'd spend half of the day at school with only a few coins to get something to eat, so I'd always pick the cheapest things they had. One of my only joys I had were when I'd arrive home to play on my Wii until midnight. And so H's Mii was my favorite company, getting all records in the sports games instead of my own avatar. And it was like that until my life went through the drastic changes it needed to go through, I just recently started to realize that my life as a child wasn't normal, I had always thought I had too much and I didn't deserve the few things I had.

Recently, I found a fan translated rom of Tomodachi collection, and of course I made miis of all characters I have that I can remember, H (now named Haitch) included, and I felt like my best friend was there yet again. I started questioning why did I forget about him. And then Aeni became his best friend in game. I want to give Haitch the life he deserves, and make him a cool guy, he deserves it. He's an adult now, but his short height had to stay as well as dark green being his favorite color, despite it not being included in his main redesign.
I gave him the moon room interior, that's why I drew some stars in the background!

So yeah, that was me opening up about a silly experience, if you read this until the end then boop-
