#tag that oc #saying stuff #gary. that thang would be great at gymnastics

[potatochip-oc-dump]

tag the oc that won’t die. even if they’ve faced the unsurvivable. even if their death is the natural conclusion to their arc. not that they’re immortal, they just hold onto life so stubbornly

.

#CHIP!!!!!!!!!!! #SORRY FOR.KILLING MY MAIN CHARACTER #TWICE. #honourable mention goes to moonlight who will do anything to survive she just wants to live so so badly

[potatochip-oc-dump]

Tag the OC who just keeps buying stuff on ebay even though they Keep Getting Scammed.

am tempted to.... revise princess backstory. i keep making drastic changes to it constamtly but hear meowt

would you all forgive me if i got rid of the actual monarchy part and made something Similar to that. like princess' parents arent actual monarchs but they are still wealthy & powerful and still put immense amounts of pressure on their Children

thinking about world building again and ouuugh man. writing for me is like a big knot of wires and i slowly have to go in and untangle each knot before i get something comprehensible

which is to say princess backstory is one of those knots i am FIGHTING for my LIFE out here

#saying stuff #carolyne 'princess' castelle #i still want the same kind of story #that is: princess' mom tries to abandon her life in favor of a small and quaint life w her kids #only for augustine to kill her #and the castelle siblings are separated which leads to them growing up in different environments #WITH THE ADDED CONCEPT OF THEM NOT BEING ACTUAL RULERS AND THEM JUST BEING A normal (not really) FAMILY #AUUAUGH that low key makes the idea kind of scarier to me #and then something terrible happens to said town they are in that results in it being abandoned completely (save for ofc princess) #her family probably owns like something important #and/or the pressure comes from princess' father to continue their bloodline #dude is obsessed with his own legacy

[potatochip-oc-dump]

the setting takes place on and island that is like a collection of towns, most of which are not monarchies & they are *probably* not a part of the castelle kingdom back when it was around. so i am wondering to myself how that works.

thinking about world building again and ouuugh man. writing for me is like a big knot of wires and i slowly have to go in and untangle each knot before i get something comprehensible

which is to say princess backstory is one of those knots i am FIGHTING for my LIFE out here

#saying stuff #carolyne 'princess' castelle #i am trying to figure out the location and time period of this story too #like #i think it would not be modern modern; like cell phones dont exist #but i kind of want movies to exist ? #and video games ? #i think of it as a 90's to 2000's esque time period maybe ??? thats what im leaning towards #but also that would make the castelle kingdom not make much sense #so you see my problem #but i have an idea #that i want to propose #and you ve gotta forgive me for it

#saying stuff #carolyne 'princess' castelle #still i feel a great sense of accomplishment when i successfully untangle the knot and a plot point just clicks #which is why i like writing. it is nice

[potatochip-oc-dump]

out of context Moonlight mention. i think this ones funny

#oc #saying stuff #moonlight #sometimes looking back at my old writing makes me feel better about my current skill #cuz i am in fact getting better #thank goodness

#oc posting; chip pockett #tgis is so them (they are only knowm to like 10 people)

now with that out of the way: heheehehe

i am going to dump a bit of lore on your doorstep (by copy and pasting smth i wrote on discord a few days ago) so i can give context to something i have drawn

disclaimer: it may be long and wordy. but thats what its all about baby

"in short i finally figured out how Arthur gets their name.

so to preface this i must offer. context. be warned this is gonna be one of those Rambles.

before we begin, i am debating on whether or not i should keep the 'arthur possessing gidget' thing, change it to where they possess chip (?), or get rid of it... my reasoning being: i think it makes more sense for arthur to be closer to chip especially cuz they end up as siblings in the end, ALSO i dont remember why gigi had to be the one that was possessed and i think the story would work just fine if it was somebody else.

in fact itd probably work even better with chip not only bc the theming of Being In The Wrong Body and everyone claiming u r somebody youre not works even better if its with chip, it also works cuz chip in the story is frequently like... whats the word. overlooked. or not taken seriously.

but anyways:

two, there is a plot point sometime during chip & gidget's stay in the castelle manor in which everyone but chip is trapped inside a dream by moonlight (in the waking world they are all asleep & cant wake up) bc she is searching their dreams in order to find Arthur (and kill them)

hopefully that doesnt sound. too convoluted. ah. anyways. something something chip teams up w arthur to enter their dreams and wake them up. i think.

i think probably arthur was either forced into going w chip or he agreed relunctantly, but (assuming he is still possessing someone) chip asks arthur if they can see his real face. and he agrees but in a way that makes it clear he is Lying

they wake up in (.....i dont think i have a solid name for this place yet. i think i called it Space 2 in my lore doc for the bit but i think itll be called 'otherside')

and Arthur just looks like a weird version of [whoever they were possessing at the time.] chip comments on it and art's like 'oh you mean my REAL REAL face yeah ok let me. um.' (they change into an exact copy of chip.) 'Better?'

at this point it is becoming clear that arthur might not have a 'real face,' but chip doesnt know that yet

meanwhile there is some chatter between the two, w arthur passively explaining who Midnight and Moonlight are. ALSO there is a fun fact i think about moonlight canonically having a preference for Women & that Arthur's pre-death appearance was modelled after the first human woman. i think. at one point they get onto the topic of art and chip asks Arthur if they like to draw, in which they respond: 'no.' Riveting.

something something climactic point where arthur breaks down and finally admits that they dont have a body, dont have any of their powers, and they cant even remember what theyre supposed to look like. he says that he feels useless!

& then chip says something like 'you dont have to have powers to like. create stuff.'

and then they draw together :]

chip agrees to help give him a "new face" so to speak by drawing him a FURSONA (it is a JACKRABBIT with a RAINCOAT AND UMBRELLA and an EYEPATCH and like. epic scars. and two swords. and a pet dolphin & demon wings. and other convoluted detailed design elements akin to that of a sparkledog) which they lovingly name 'Arthur.' (maybe w a last name like 'skullcrusher' or soemthing)

and arthur like draws his own version of that. which is Close to what Arthur's design is currently. & he's like 'yeah. so um. uhh. close your eyes i cant do it while youre looking.'

(chip puts their paws over their eyes.) 'um ok! what are you doing?'

'im gonna show you the real me.'

& then he looks like the character he drew."
