A romantic couple, Ari (man in the starry scarf and glasses) and Cy (the man in with the curls and goggles) in a silly moment. Ari has playfully slung his husband Cy over his shoulder, sending his husband a cheeky smile while Cy laughs in clear joy. Ari is wearing a starry scarf, a button-down purple shirt with gold stripes and buttons, and eyeglasses. Ari also has a scar on his face and his hands, along w a sunflower tattoo and golden wedding band. Cy is white shirts, gold jewelry, black slacks and boots. He has a pair of golden goggles on his head and a golden wedding band on his hand. ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATION: Mal aka mangan3rd on Bluesky

OK! I got all the major players down.

Now to design the plot line for Arc 1 (aka Season 1 of the webserial).

I want the each Arc/Season to have a complete, satisfying story. That way if, heaven forbid, the production gets delayed, at least the Arc itself will be complete. #SteampunkHusbandsWIP

CURRENT STAGE: PRE-PRODUCTION!

I AM HYPE! It feels like I'm understanding more about the world and the characters every single day!
It's also interesting to get more into the mechanics of how this world functions (and ofc, how the characters work to subvert these rules).

#SteampunkHusbandsWIP

AS OF: 2/23/2025
THE BRAINSTORMING PORTION OF THE STEAMPUNK HUSBANDS IS NOW COMPLETE, YAY!

Currently working on pre-production of the actual webserial now that we've made it past the "Just Brainstorming Ideas" stage of the project.

Ari Bezzara's life was destroyed as soon as he saw Cy fall out of his sinking airship...and into his heart. Unfortunately, that was the easy part. Also -- they have to solve a murder! #STEAMPUNKHUSBANDSWIP
