Dean Winchester - So I had been out of the game for a while and suddenly after multiple projects had settled down at work and home life had become manageable, I started toying with the idea of coming back to FH. I had been playing an online D&D game with a few of the players online for a couple of years at that point so I felt like it was a good time to return.

And then I couldn't think of anyone. So I forgot about it and went back to my usual binge watching and playing D&D. Now I had based one of the characters in my campaign very loosely on Dean Winchester and because of some in character decisions, that character had to leave the party and I brought in a new character. But I REALLY liked the idea of playing Dean.

So I went back and forth a couple of times and finally after chatting with Nu about it I sent in the app. I think part of the real reason I sent him in is that I also had a different mindset when bringing in him. I didn't have a goal for the character, which I had whenever I app'd other characters. I just wanted to throw him in and see how he did.

And I think he's doing pretty good.

Kamala Khan - So I was staunchly saying the entire time after I app'd Dean that I was NOT going to have another character. Nope. Didn't need one. Dean was fine. All I needed was Dean. Who needs another character? Not me.

And then the app session opened for new characters was posted and I immediately started thinking of who I could apply. Yes, I'm that guy.

I wanted someone a bit lighthearted this time around. Originally it was not Kamala at all. I was thinking of Gar Logan aka Beast Boy and that was sparked by Gabriel Picolo's artwork he had been posting showing Beast Boy and I started reading the graphic novels by Kami Garcia and... I think what really killed it for me is the lack of icons the way I wanted them and while I liked the graphic novels it wasn't really that inspiring to me at the time.

So that was it. I was done. No student app for me. I then turned on the TV and went to Disney+ and there on the "Watch Again!" category was Ms. Marvel which I LOVED when it came out. And my brain went: "OH! There we go."

And I wrote the app in about an hour.

Yelena Belova: I believe what happened here is that I was looking at another person's app while I was re-watching Hawkeye during the scene where Yelena Belova was talking to Kate Bishop and said: "You know what this island needs? Florence Pugh characters."

And so I wrote the app.
