Karina is secretly planning to kill Jacob so she can marry Onsta. Jacob is married to Julia and isn't stopping Karina from getting married to Onsta in any way, she just doesn't feel like inviting him to the wedding and would rather just kill him so it doesn't have to be a thing.

The first Onsta Stream I ever caught live was after Julia breezed through a Hunter Boss in Blooborne and they raided just as Onsta’s character (Ichiban I think) trying to save a baby stroller that was rolling down the street. The absolute shock I had when he found a grown ass man in a diaper curled up in there, then suddenly more grown men in diapers in strollers rolled up and tried to jump him. As soon as I heard Onsta’s description and Jacob’s drawing, I realized that I didn’t actually dream that nonsense. It did actually happen

[@PrimRooks]

[@jellyjilli1004]

My fav Gondawara moment is when he's lecturing the father in Like a Dragon about how babies are helpless and dificult to take care of and he keeps refering to babies as "US babies". He keeps including himself and it cracks me up every single time.

it's unreal how delightful Karina & Onsta's friendship is. Such a gift to the tube

[@ivygilliam5168]

Episode idea: Genre swap telephone! One person designs a character in a specific genre, they hand it off to the next person who does a genre swaped drawing of that character, then the next person draws it in another genre without seeing the first one. Sort of like the fursona telephone episode you did a little while ago.

[@peppermintcutie5327]

Karina and I legitimately said "speak on that" at the same time.

[@86fifty]

I really respect the editor trying different transition-wipes these past few episodes, so I will give my two cents! The fist-punching in this one is a good on-theme idea! But in practice, it's too loud and the volume is high-pitched compared to the rest of the talking, which is kinda quiet. Also I flinch whenever it comes all the way forward, I think cuz it's too fast and it looks jerky, like it has too few frames-per-second? Slow it down a bit and choose a lower-pitched noise and possibly lower the volume too? That would be a good compromise.

[@hihi-kv8kv]

Agree

[@fro4152]

Onsta on Drawtectives? Omg I can see Drawtectives having new guests as characters Like Onsta, Ralph and Barret

[@matthewnguyen5100]

anything can be a song if you ad a melody to it, like these suggestions "Drawfee Parade" Design four Parade floats based off each Drawfee Host, for fun don't create your own but don't tell each other who your designing for "Gamefee Drawing Tourney" use a videogame stage builder to draw Prompts, then play on those stages (smash bros. is ideal for this) "Yugioh Telephone" pass a description of a Yugioh Card's art though the Drawfee Hosts (one read no repeats or clarifications), last host draws what they hear "Backwards Pokemon" what if you make new Pokemon out of old pokemon names read backwards (example: tomwaP)

[@Nehu_22]

How many characters can you list that exist under the umbrella of, “This guy? This little guy right here? …NASty.” And no, you can’t say “All of them” cos if some of the characters were a spice; they would be Thick-It (Zero flavor, real good at just filling a space, and it’s definitely for someone…I bet…)
