How To Burn A Kingdom/Trivia

take note that this story is still rapidly changing and you never know how long it will be until current stuff turns into old stuff :) anyways

*interesting content only*

## general story

* the title is in all caps as a tribute to the very first TATOK google doc, where it all started, which was literally just THE AMAZING TALE OF KITTEN after being Untitled Story <3
* Kitten indeed has a minecraft backpack, and it is indeed the same one 10 year old onyx bought and still owns to this day.
* Justice and Ophelia are a queer platonic relationship! I'm not going to dump the whole description of a QPP, so I'll say it in short for these two! They live together, spend a lot of their time together and are definitely pretty committed to each other, but none of it in a romantic way. This is what it's like for them! Queer platonic relationships can be different for everyone, so if you want a better explanation of it, I suggest you look it up! ^^

## character-specific

### kitten

* her original design was silver with amber eyes??- and she had wish's star on her face :p
* kitten's character went through five stages: mary sue, more pathetic mary sue, borderline abusive, abusive, and then the current version, ego monster.
* Kitten's big memory works a bit like a chest. In minecraft. (or a drawer, whatever) imagine normal people have one chest. it's a bit hard to find stuff in there, but you can manage. now, imagine kitten has seventy seven chests. you get the point.

### blaze

* he was originally from the marsh kingdom???? he was also a dark brown tabby???
* he had aqua eyes for quite a large portion of the story development. he was also buff. In reality, blaze is not jacked. what happened to him prior to blaze probably destroyed any chance of that. he is a NOODLE.

### carkey saxon

* Carkey's sole purpose of existence comes from the very day TATOK was created when a silly onyx decided that she really, really, really wanted Percy Jackson in her book. Except she had full understanding of what copyright was, and it made her quite mad. So she launched her genius plan: she was going to make a Percy Jackson knock-off and a name that rhymed. And there came Carkey Saxon.
* he had a car at some point... and a chariot... made of money...
* he is canonically and literally a stick figure. part person, part stick person.

### steven

* Steven was created specifically because Steve needed to stay king.
* Onyx. hates. Steven.
* Blaze also hates Steven but you find out that later

### wishing star

* wish's natural fur color is not pink.
* she got the gamma ray joke from Permafrost, who got it from her mother.

### annoying chirping noise

* chirp is one of two characters in the entire book to be based off of an inanimate object in onyx's room, the other being Indestructible. what was he? an eyeglasses holder from onyx's grandma.
* his original design was a brown tabby with bright blue eyes. You can see where that caused a bit of... conflict.

### turtlebert

* what happened to her uncle is Onyx's lame attempt at referencing death note.
* I'll be honest here- her original name was Tilan. I thought it was pretty fnanfagnnajf ;-;

### hamilton

* out of every character on this list at the moment, they are the newest.
* hamilton is non-binary!! (they are also the most accidentally misgendered character in the entire book! 😭😭😭)
* they were originally going to be named Mark, and was younger than Wishing Star. Hamilton had always been a name idea, however. I think Onyx just forgot about 'Mark'.

### lizard on road

* i'm going to be honest here. Lizard's intended name in the beginning was Lizard Flattened on Highway Road.

### justice

* he is a least weasel, which is like THE smallest weasel on Earth. he TEENY TINY

### ophelia

* she is a European badger because American badgers look silly >:D
* also random: she is asexual :)

## world

### the rainbow kingdom

* rk is like urban animals (mostly)- house cats, the skinks and little lizards you might find your pet bring half-alive into your house 👍 also mostly just small mammals. then we have King Gregory xD

### the azure kingdom

* formerly known as the sky kingdom, later changed since there were too many S's in kingdom names.
* the azure kingdom was made entirely and completely for filler, since Onyx realized her book was too short. she shoved a location in to buffer the ending, and that is how this kingdom came to be.
* it is possibly maybe (definitely) based off of Mario Odyssey's Metro Kingdom. Charlotte was the centipede. That's also why it's raining so much.

## misc

### the gamma ray joke, which Onyx will fall over dying in laughter when using, explained

visible light, which contains the colors human eyes can see and recognize, is a tiny slice of the light spectrum, just past it on both sides being ultraviolet and infrared. ultraviolet and infrared cannot be seen by our eyes- but if we could see them, they would almost certainly be something similar to what we describe as color, right? I mean, it's ultra 'violet' and infra 'red'. With just about the highest frequency and also, basically, gamma rays are radioactivity.

"I love your shirt. Gamma ray is my favorite coloe"

It probably makes no sense, but I'll let the weird nerd joke sink in now.
