Spink

Spink (full name: Spink Vivizparkz) is a dinosaur-like created for Tranzfur Apocalypze on January 12, 2023. They are the 8th transfur made for the webcomic.
== Appearance ==
The transfurs distinct colors and patterns comes from the design based off of a 90’s skating rink/bowling alley/arcade carpet. The design choice might be an homage to the Dance Dance Revolution arcade cabinets in the original game’s break room, due to cesarzalad’s obsession with vintage rhythm games, like beatmania (despite not knowing how to play any.) Most patterns seen on this style of carpet are usually seen as funky geometric shapes in bright neon colors, mostly being the rainbow. Spink sports the same colors as said carpets but as fur patterns on their limbs and body. The transfur also has working rollerskates on their feet, which gives them an advantage to travel faster than the average speed. Since Spink was created with them permanently in place of some actual feet, the character themselves can pull off complex maneuvers and tricks with said rollerskates.
== Personality/Interests ==
Spink has a lot of interests that reference a bunch of things from the early 2000’s and old internet. One of their many interests are talking in chatrooms, most of the time with other transfurs like Kauzi and Sour Punch. They also enjoy things that they call “silly”, such as creating kandi bracelets, a specific style of bracelet/accessory that is sometimes heavily referenced in Scene culture, which happens to be what type of aesthetics Spink is.
Another one of their interests influenced by the references to 2000’s culture is Homestuck, an ~8,000 page webcomic published and posted onto the internet by Andrew Hussie on April 13, 2009 (despite it being released way later than the timeline of the webcomic.) Spink is usually compared to the beta troll Nepeta Leijon by cesarzalad (who is also Spink’s favorite troll), due to the fact that they’re both very much seen as silly and cute. This is also the reason why cesarzalad has made their creation date in August, the month for the zodiac of Leo, which is the emblem on Nepeta’s shirt. Speaking of Homestuck, the characters in the webcomic have typing quirks, and Spink also has a special typing quirk mostly specific to them. Their typing quirk is replacing A, E, I, and O with 4, 3, 1, and 0, respectively, along with replacing S with Z. They also don’t use emojis, and “:)” is “:3”.
Their personality can be described as very silly and doesn’t really care about what other people think of them.

== Notes ==
* The “funky groove” aesthetic is very heavily influenced by cesarzalad’s hyperfixations, like DDR and beatmania (previously mentioned before), and the colorful and harsh aesthetics of Splatoon, more specifically Splatoon 2. The game’s atmosphere reflects a lot of the underground dance culture that Spink and the mentioned rhythm games has within them.
* In the Main Artwork shown on this page, it seems like cesarzalad had forgot to add some markings on Spink’s arms and thighs.
* bro is so silly
