Trivia / Dead Winter

• Inspiration for the Work:
  • The protagonist being a blonde and goofy pacifist was because the author watched a lot of Trigun when they were younger.
  • Most of Monday's weaponry were inspired by objects the author already had in their possession. Namely the Glock and butterfly knife, this was so that drawing them would be easier due to having the real-life objects to use for reference.
• What Could Have Been:
  • In the early planning phase◊, Monday was supposed to be armed with Makarov pistols. But the author already had a Glock pistol on hand and decided to go with Glocks for easier reference.
  • Monday was also formerly supposed◊ to have throwing knife dispensers under his shoulder holsters but were scrapped due to impracticality. So extended magazines were chosen as a more practical option and debuted when Monday was saving Sally.
• Word of God: A few of them coming from the Author's Discord server.
  • Monday carries Glock 22s and are chambered in .40 Smith & Wesson◊.
  • The author has repeatedly stated in their Discord server that the mini-comics are somehow in someway canon.
  • Allie was a big fan of Trigun in her youth◊ and based Liz on Vash the stampede. As both are goofy, blonde and optimistic pacifists in a world where pacifism can get you killed
  • Pat's Cool Car is a 69 Dodge Charger.
  • Arlen's Revolver was a Smith & Wesson J-Frame◊.
• Word of Gay: The author has pinned Yuri as Pansexual◊ while Monday◊ is as Ace as a Deck of Cards.
• Write What You Know: More like Draw What You Know, but the reasons why Monday has Glock pistols and a butterfly knife was because these two weapons were already something the author already had and so were chosen so the author could easily reference them.
• Write Who You Know: Dan the Skateboarder was actually based on the author's own younger brother◊.
