Okay, this one will definitely need an explanation. So, to make this very VERY clear, I used to be... a bad person. Not like a criminal, just... a jerk. And while making Thunder, I didn't know how to start making him, and then a thought crossed my mind: "Hey Marlin, remember when you were a trash person?" Well duh, obviously, I stopped all that like a few months ago, Why? "Make Thunder start out as a criminal!" . . . P E R F E C T!!! That's how Thunder was made! I probably need some more explanation as to why or how I made Thunder a Villian, but that might spoil some of his plot for when I start making that chaptered series all about him... So I'm going to try and avoid that while explaining this. So Thunder was pretty obviously a thief because of the coin he's holding in his hand, the coin's not important, I just liked the idea of him holding it in this photo. But originally, Thunder was going to be my little killer child, because I was trying to represent how me being a jerk killed any form of joy in the room other than my own. But I went with the thief idea because of two main details. A: Being a jerk isn't enough to permanently kill positivity while murdering someone... Well, it's pretty permanent; at least stealing can be undone with time and money. B: I've actually stolen things before... on accident, definitely should bring that part up. Basically, those were cases of me just leaving toys from school in my bookbag without noticing when I was like... 3, maybe 4. It still counts as stealing to me, so whatever...
That's basically it. And to make this clear, me being a jerk irl was 100% unintentional, I'm just very tired most of the time. Am I better now? Yes, not completely, but better! Thunder and I are surprisingly similar, we're both semi-optimists that try to stay positive be fail very, VERY hard because we're always super tired! Tbh I probably just unintentionally used this to get out some of my built-up anxieties and anger towards myself, but eh, I probably needed it.
