Shortly after Massa announced he would no longer actively find a studio to make his ongezellig show, he did a q/a stream on, i think his discord, where he reveals alot of the lore and the things planned in ongezellig. Thanks to this dude in kiwifarms for "leaking" it

https://kiwifarms.net/threads/ongezellig-thread.170300/post-18151758Below are the most important thing he said about the show
>The illustration he made on petje.af are mostly not canon (think of it as either ideas for the show or a "what if" scenario)>the Mymy's NEET pic is from an alternate universe (i guess he was talking about Mymy getting caught by her parent watching dutch stuff, idk)>he says he won’t continue Ongezellig as a comic because he thinks he’s very bad at making comics (he really think that lowly about himself? No wonder people think he sabotaged the show). He also thinks Maya’s Sweet 16 is the worst thing he’s ever made.>About Maya’s Sweet 16 comic. He said that when printing physical copies of said comics, that it uses cheap printing paper that was meant for small ads and not comics, he hates the comic so much he' unironically refund the people who paid for the comic>Massa reveals revealed Maya is 1/4th Indonesian, 1/4th Indian, 1/4th Chinese and 1/4th Dutch. (Shes a gigamutt)>he reveals that Maya dad is 1/2 Surinamese Indian and ½ Dutch.>He also says that her mom is ½ Moluccan (Indonesian) and ½ Chinese-Indonesian>Massa then says that the idea behind making Maya a gigamutt is he wants to make a character that has zero identity, who doesnt belong in anywhere. She can’t belong anywhere since they’re alienated by others.>Massa explain the “farm attack” incident that zellig fans thought was the cause of Coco’s parent's death was a red herring. They died in a fatal car crash. He then goes on to explain that if her parents died by black thieves in a farm attack incident, Coco would've never been close friends with Cleo, since Cleo is an Afro-Aruban.>Maya's mother' name is “Soei”(It’s a chinese name and Massa apparently had a full Chinese name for her before she married the dad).>Massa says that Maya's resentment towards her sister, especially towards Coco, starts with her losing her cat>Massa had an episode idea involving Maya getting a new cat. Coco comes in, she’s allergic so the cat has to go. The cat would go to her grandparents instead, Maya still having access but far less, until one day the cat gets cancer and had to be euthanized. Maya resents Coco even more for taking away her only friend. This was apparently based on a true story from Massa’s life>Massa reveals that Coco feels immensly guilty for basically losing Maya's cat. She thinks that Maya must feel the same way she herself felt when she lost her biological parents. It's one of the main reason why she's so friendly towards Maya.>he also planned a a band episode where Maya wanted to Join Coco’s band because she really wants to, but she has no musical talent. Coco’s band is pretty talented and “eurobeat-folkband” centric, which makes no sense but they do it because it’s unique and different. Cleo is the lead singer and guitarist, as well as the main boss of the band. Coco is chill and likes to be there. Yfke is always stoned. Zoey is the quiet introverted type, Maya was actually intersted in befriending Zoey since they’re both quiet types, but besides that they have nothing in common which is why she fails at trying to befriend her since Zoey is uninterested. >apparently, Mymy’s sister episode is the most fleshed out. Mymy’s sister tracks her down and has this big elaborate scheme where she infiltrates the school pretending to be a korean boy that causes Maya to fall for her since K-Pop boys are hot or something. She immediately befriends Maya (she knows everything about the Schoppenboer family because she’s a genius), she knows Maya’s weak spots. Maya thinks she’s made a friend but Mymy’s sister is just there to get Mymy back to Japan. She asks Maya to stay over for the night, Maya agrees, when she stays over Mymy is none-the-wiser, Coco is VERY skeptical of her presense on befriending Maya, Maya’s mom is just excited to hear Maya finally made a new friend. Coco objects, but Maya’s mom shuts her down and that he can stay (it’s revealed Maya’s mom is the pushy, bitchy type that only likes her kids if they accomplish something). Coco and Mymy keep a lookout on the “boy” that involves a nerfgun shootout between Mymy and her sister like those old cowboy movies. But in the end Mymy’s sister gets found out when they are back at school, Maya chats with her, she goes to the bathroom, Mymy doesn’t buy that her sister is korean so as a test she asks her to sign an autograph of Kim Jon Un since she’s a “big fan”, Mymy’s sister does it in perfect korean handwriting since she studied very hard for it. Later when they’re all back at home Mymy’s sister sneaks into Mymy’s room to kidnap her, pulls the sheets off only to reveal no one’s there, camera cuts to behind her back with Mymy pointing her nerf gun at her. Mymy knew she was a fake since if her sister is “south korean” then she wouldn’t have signed the picture of North Korea’s leader. Mymy’s sister knows this, but she asks how Mymy knows she was her sister. Mymy responds by saying she doesn’t know, this was supposed to be very anticlimactic. Episode maybe ends with Coco beating the shit out of Mymy’s sister and kicks her out, ends sadly as Maya loses what she thought was her only friend. Massa was thinking of hiring an actual Japanese VA to voice Mymy’s sister.>Massa had a “Anne Frank: The Musical” episode idea that involved Mymy somehow.>It’s revealed Mymy ran away from her family because she likes the Netherlands more than Japan, changed her identity to not be caught (this was the main reason for becoming orange and freckled, not just that she wants to pass as a Dutch girl as she didn’t want to be caught by her sister). Massa himself admits it’s a bit unrealistic for Mymy to escape Japan as a 6 year old into the Netherlands, but he guesses she’s a genius herself to get rid of the evidence.>Massa confirms 100% without a shadow of a doubt Maya does not have Autism and only ADD. This is partially based on himself as he has ADD too>Coco cares a lot about her friends and family, reveals that she did in fact had a unborn sibling from her old family.
