For SCIENCE!! (With very special guest star, @hatthecat.bsky.social's Tiny the Eevee!) #art #pokemon #pmd #pokemonmysterydungeon #buneary #eevee #benji #tiny

Page 1: Tiny the Eevee replies: "Now Benji, you have a STEM background. Try to put both of them down now. For science."

Page 2: Benji, with both his ears rolled up tightly, stares blankly and wordlessly at Tiny.

Page 3: Benji, ears still tightly rolled up, puts his hands to his mouth and yells, "WHAT??! SPEAK UP!!!"

Tiny sweats in embarrassment.

see also: the Tales from the Darkside opening didn't help that the station that broadcast it here only played it late at night, so it usually meant i fell asleep with the TV on and woke in the dead of night with this song playing

When he first gets there, no one's quite sure. Typically, there have been centuries between human arrivals, but its only been 15 years since Latte and her partner went on their journey. Whatever it is, it hasn't made itself known yet, leaving everyone on edge. #ask #strawpage #oclore #pmd

If Benji was sent to save the Pokémon world, what exactly was the threat that he and Fin had to face down? Does anybody else, like Latte, step up to help?

When I was little I was super into cartoons. Around six years old I read an encyclopedia entry about how animation was made and was fascinated, so I decided I wanted to be an animator. I also got really into newspaper comic strips like Garfield and The Far Side around the same time. #ask #strawpage

How did you start at art? Do you have any formal training

He never experiences full identity death, but his new instincts do creep up on him and assert themselves from time to time. For example when he's bored or lost in thought, he'll idly start to groom his ears, or he'll reflexively thump when he's angry or impatient. #ask #strawpage #oclore #benji

Does Benji ever experience things like Imposter Syndrome or any kind of Identity Death due to having become stuck as a pokemon?

Latte has a history with humans, and it left a bitter taste in her mouth. You can read her backstory here for a better explanation: toyhou.se/~literature/... #ask #strawpage #oclore #benji #latte

Why are Benji and Latte at each other's throats so much? Did Benji commit some grave species taboo that just kicked it all off, or is Latte just a BI-

For Miya, it was a "love at first sight" scenario, the way that teens will just kind of superficially fall for someone. He was someone new and novel, and the only buneary in town, so she found his arrival exciting. From her perspective, he had an air of mystery about him, and she was intrigued. 🧵

What made Miya fall for Benji, and later down the timeline, what made Benji eventually fall for Miya?

Toyhouse: toyhou.se/Caffeinerabb... ArtFight: artfight.net/~Caffeinerab... Unvale: unvale.io/Caffeinerabbit My ToyHouse and ArtFight pages are probably the most comprehensive, but you need an account to see the ArtFight page. Unvale I'm still fairly new to. #ask #strawpage

My characters Jynx and Anisa come from a fantasy setting where clothes are not optional, despite being animal people. Doing so would earn you a stay in jail for public indecency, at least in the city they come from. Mary hates the idea of going unclothed, even though she could. #ask #strawpage

Do you have any chars that /need/ to wear clothes (like in a non -cartoony way)

The only time I've ever done commissions was for a charity drive I helped with a few years back. I've thought about doing them, but I'm not sure that there'd be much interest. #ask #strawpage

Probably, she has a fully stocked wardrobe that she seems to keep stashed in a pocket dimension somewhere. Although its hard to get more "risqué" than walking around in the buff for 80% of the time.

does daphne own any particularly risqué clothing? obviously she's got her propaganda shorts

Mary likes to unwind after work with a glass of wine and maybe working on one of her paintings. Sometimes she'll grab dinner with friends. Peter relaxes by playing video games with his internet buddies, and likes to work on small side projects for fun. #ask #strawpage #oclore #mary #peter

What does the average evening/weekend at Peter's and Mary's place look like?

Kind yes, kinda no. I'm mostly in it for the art side of things, and haven't really interacted with the fandom at large outside of the internet. Not that I have a problem with it, most of my friends are solidly in the fandom. I'm just not interested in it with regards to a lifestyle or identity.

do you consider yourself a furry or does the label not really fit

It's Daphne. Although Mary would have done it a few years ago, back when pole dancing was trendy as a form of exercise for a hot minute.

Let's just say that even though she's never even entertained the idea of having a kid, Child Protective Services already has her on their radar.

Finn and his parents know, along with the Guildmaster and a few other high ranking Guild members like Miya's parents. Eventually, they let the Guild High Regent in as well. Belief over whether he was being honest, making it up, or delusional was initially split. #ask #strawpage #oclore #benji

Who knows about Benji's origin of being a human? And out of those who know, who actually believes him?

Espresso @caffeinerabbit.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Yes, both Benji and Candy's settings follow the rules set forth in the mainline games when it comes to offspring. Both parents will need to share an egg group, and the child will always be the same evolution line as the mother. #ask #strawpage #oclore #pmd

I forgot if the PMD games ever alluded to it, but does your PMD-verse also follow regular pokemon egg groups?

1. Nothing NSFW or risque of my Pokemon characters. They aren't made for that and the majority of them are children. 2. For my other characters, cheesecakey stuff is generally ok, but nothing straight up NSFW. (I sometimes make exceptions for friends.) 3. No Gore. #ask #strawpage

Briefly relieved, but then his jealousy and ego would quickly get the better of him and he'd get angry. Just be sure to do it in the off-season when he doesn't have his antlers. #ask #strawpage #brad #daphne

Finn comes from a very highly regarded Guild family, with ancestry on both sides stretching back for decades, maybe centuries. He feels a lot of pressure to live up to the family name, even though he isn't 100% certain it's what he really wants to do with his life. 🧵 #ask #strawpage #oclore #finn

Can we have some facts about Finn? I feel we know less about him.

While these two never exactly become best friends, they do eventually settle down into a sort of "bickering siblings" type of relationship, caring in its own way. Even years later, she still pesters him about proper ear care. #art #pokemon #pmd #pokemonmysterydungeon #lopunny #benji #latte

An illustration of Benji and Latte, a pair of Lopunnies. Both are seated on the ground, with Latte sitting behind Benji, one of his ears resting in her lap as she brushes it. Latte is speaking in admonishment, a stern look on her face while Benji looks back with a slight scowl.
