What are your main inspirations for If Memory Serves? (Also inspirations for Thirst if you’re feeling kind?)
I love Juno an incredible amount, so first, thank you for everything! I remember you discussing some of the inspirations for Juno all the way back in some of the early season Q and As but If Memory Serves feels different, much closer to the vibes and writing in Season 2 (probably because we’re seeing our favorite detective once again hit rock bottom)- you guys did an incredible job in having the characters feel familiar even as this story shifts away from the tone we’ve experienced before in the series- If Memory Serves feels way more classic detective, just with all the great Penumbra energy; so were the inspirations for this different, or was this a product of hanging out in Hyperion and writing Juno for so long that it just made sense to share the beginning we’ve been teased with so much with lines from throughout the series?
how do you create your characters and stories?
hi !!! i'm corry. super super happy to be here! i'm an aspiring storyboard artist/concept designer and i am very very inspired by your work. all your characters have wonderfully unique traits, personalities, and voices - how do you go about developing that? how did you manage to create characters that have struck the hearts of so many people? do you put a lot of yourself into them? clearly your writing has messages that you feel passionately about and want to share. is that vulnerable and scary? i can only imagine it is. sorry if this is a lot! i'm hyped for this livestream :D
