xkcd fans are the only fandom I've had direct experience with where people do the stereotypical nerdy fan thing of referring to installments of the thing they like by their release order numbers instead of their titles
I was tagged by the lovely @rotschopf-thedrow thank you :D
Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture their character/personality/vibe. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you’re free to include those as well. I feel like making a little ask game out of this SO: if you wanna you can send me one of these and i will give you context/ a snipped of what it is from! (you could also guess the context if you like!)
Since I have two Shepards, Nyx and Regis, I'll split into two parts: 10 lines for Regis and 5 for Nyx.
REGIS SHEPARD
“Please, I would have done the same thing. That Reave though… beautiful.”
“Well, wasn’t it more like I fell in love with two incredibly hot, powerful men and dragged you along with my decisions?”
“I’m yours. Both of yours.”
“You are not going to ruin my suit.”
"I wouldn't call that loyalty by any stretch of the imagination. It shows you didn't know me."
“But you’re goddamn right. I am one hell of a lay.”
“Good job on preserving my armor though. Was it hard to remove from my body?”
“I’ve never been so scared in my life. Not even Torfan. Not even when dealing with the Reapers.”
“He threatened your career. I don’t give a shit about mine. I care about yours.”
"Sure, I knew their names. 'Ranks.' Designations. Skills. Talents. All the shit I'm obligated to know. But I didn't know them like I did with the SR-1. Couldn't tell you their dreams or their families or their favorite goddamn vid."
NYX SHEPARD
"You fucked me within an inch of my life. I think we've earned a little honesty?"
"What are you going to do, Kaidan? Give me an ultimatum? You or Hackett?"
“I haven’t said this to many people, but I trust you. Felt like I always had right from the beginning. Guess after knowing about your own history, I know why. Kindred spirits with a past we don’t like getting out.”
“And now I want to see what I missed... If you two want, of course.”
“Trust me, I know all about control. How else do you think I’ve kept this secret this long?”
Tag me if you see this and decide to participate! this was a lot of fun :D
Reblog this message if you encourage anyone that wants to draw your OC to do so. No need to ask for permission in advance.
Go for it. Draw my OC. If you want, I’ll even give you reference posts. Go to town on it.
You are welcome to draw my OC and surprise me with the result. Seriously. In fact, I encourage it. I will proudly display whatever it is you submit to me regarding my OC. There is a chance that I will squeal about it for several days.
Even if you feel you aren’t good at whatever artistic adventure it is you do, please feel free to submit it to me. I want to see what you have done.
god I fuckign love ocs. my characters. my friend's characters. the characters of mutuals ive never spoken to. the characters of artists ive followed and maybe spoken to a little more. the characters of complete strangers I see in passing and think "aw that's cool". if you have ten fans I am one if you have one fan it is me etc etc. I love you
People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it
You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u
