This chapter was supposed to be up a bit earlier, but I had to get through a number of distractions and delays. I really need to work on my writing speed. There were some things I wanted to explore, like the uniform, as well as the fluff-friendly arcade at the shopping centre, but I shall explore those in seperate pieces/chapters in future.
Some notes:
- Huey is named after Huey Freeman from the Boondocks
- “jim” is a phonetic transliteration of “gym”, while “sains” is the Malay word for science
- Kid Daedalus is based off Kid Icarus, and the Playtendo Shift is, of course, a homage to the Nintendo Switch. Carpdime featured the Switch in his pic of Candy & Amber moving into the new apartment And yes, I know - there is no Kid Icarus title on the Switch. Yet.
- Kiryu Hiro is named after Sento Kiryu from Kamen Rider Build, and Hiro Nakamura from Heroes. He’s also a reference to our very own @Chikahiro
- The bit about Avo’s ex-classmates remembering our little green boy dearly will have some relevance in an upcoming chapter
The next chapter of Avocado is going to be big. Really, really big. I don’t know when it’ll be up, but it won’t be all at once. I recommend staying tuned for it. I will also be writing some other things, but I’m quite excited to get started on Avocado’s official entry into West Celestial Academy.
