1, 4 and 12 for the oc questions?
ÓwÒ a mystery anon came! 💖🥺 much thank you for your question! Greatest appreciation!
1. Your first OC ever?
Oh, mans my first ever OC, my memory hecking sucks and I feel like I could be very wrong, but I wanna say the first ever OC was actually my considered Digimon Partner, Darkwolfmon and her champion evolution Cyberwolfmon!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I find it rather fitting in a sense, Digimon Tamers and Adventure truly impacted me a lot and gave me a deeper connection and warmth to the idea of a single partner that is with you by a strong bond. Definitely something greater than I had with Pokémon, which I grew up with longer. She has been my emotional net in a way for a long time, still is whenever I reflect on things, plus I have a Digimon College Au thing I think of a lot, so she is always still active in my mind!
She is still the best girl and has definitely developed a lot since I created her! It gives me so much comfort that we’ve been on this long journey together! 💖🐺✨
4. A character you rarely talk about?
Rarely spoken of OC? I feel like I have several from my Legendary Wolf Warriors story that isn’t the main 7 😅 so so many.
Suppose I can mention my Warrior Cats Oc, Violetmoon/Violetstar, which was also kind of a starting self insert back when I was much into the series! ^^,
She kind of is Danielle from my LWW stories, but not, definitely have an Au for that however. But way before I did anything like that, I created her as part of the Warrior’s main canon and shipped her with Ravenpaw. I still do occasionally when I think of them, with full acknowledgment of RavenxBarley! Just a comfort ship when I got into the series!
Tumblr media
Another would probably be Wisler, another LWW OC of mine and former Warrior of Darkness before his granddaughter, Danielle, had become the next one to inherit the Soul.
A tired, tired wolf, exhausted of loosing those he loves for his past mistakes... I have definitely developed him a lot since making him, but also just a lot of tragedy ;;;w;;;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
12. Name an OC that isn’t yours but who you like a lot.
Oh! So many inspiring OC’s and self inserts!! Definitely many OC’s that I love so much come from my dearest friend @sleeping-platinum !
With precious Dai and Philip being the top ones I love from them! 🥺💖
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They are truly precious and deserve so much love! 💖🥺 and also plenty of the self inserts of self shipping! They are so beautiful and lovely and I love them just as much!
I truly appreciate the ask anon! It means a lot to me! 😁🥰 i hope you have become informed of alpha’s madness with ocs ;;w;;

Detroit Tigers-Minnesota Twins Series Preview
9.22.20-Tarik Skubal LHP (1-3) 6.17 ERA Vs. TBA
9.23.20-Casey Mize RHP (0-2) 6.08 ERA Vs. Kenta Maeda RHP (5-1) 2.52 ERA
The Tigers At A Glance- The Tigers have been hit with hard times since we last saw them on Labor Day. They are (4-9) during that stretch, Ron Gardenhire retired on Saturday effective immediately, and Jonathan Schoop is out with a right wrist sprain. Lloyd McClendon will finish out the season as manager for the Tigers as they head into a new regime with a young ball club that has a ton of talent. The Tigers lost three of four games against the Indians at home to close out their home schedule this weekend. They headed out on the last road trip that consists of two games against the Twins and four games in Kansas City. Victor Reyes went 4-for-15 in the Indians series. The Tigers are giving top outfield prospect Daz Cameron a chance. He is hitting 4-for-35 on the year. Willi Castro leads the team with a .330 average. Bryan Garcia has been a great addition to the bullpen with a 1.35 ERA. Daniel Norris and Gregory Soto have emerged as solid left-handed options for the Tigers. Guys like Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, and Tyler Alexander show promise for Detroit as well. 
The Twins At A Glance- The Twins had a rough start to their week-long Chicago trip when they lost four out of their first five games. They won the last two games against the Cubs to salvage the trip. The Twins sit 1.5 games behind the White Sox for first place in the American League Central Division. Nelson Cruz sat the last two games of the Cubs series with a hamstring issue. He will likely be back in the lineup on Tuesday night. Byron Buxton had quite the week in Chicago. He hit four home runs and should have had a fifth on that inside-the-parker because the ball wasn’t wedged too hard into the wall and Eloy Jimenez gave up on the play. I haven’t heard about Luis Arraez coming back for the final five games of the season. Jake Odorizzi likely is out for the regular season and personally I don’t think he should pitch in the playoffs unless it’s a long run. The Twins have options and can go with Jose Berrios, Kenta Maeda, Rich Hill, and Michael Pineda for starters. Matt Wisler has a 1.04 ERA in September. Tyler Duffey has a 1.29 ERA in September. Jorge Alcala is getting more higher leverage innings with 27 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings. The Twins need to get healthy and the bats need to get hot this week. 
What To Watch For- The Twins are (4-4) against the Tigers in 2020. The Twins lost three games in Detroit and took four of five games over Labor Day weekend at Target Field. Tarik Skubal is (1-0) with a 2.45 ERA in eleven career innings against the Twins. Casey Mize has allowed five runs in seven innings versus the Twins. Kenta Maeda is (0-2) with a 5.00 ERA in three career starts against the Tigers. The Minnesota Twins team and their family are heading into strict quarantine restrictions before the playoffs begin next Tuesday. The Twins will need to sweep the Tigers to have a chance at the division this week. They will no doubt be scoreboard watching while playing this week at Target Field. I’m assuming the Twins have a bullpen game planned for Tuesday’s game in place of Jake Odorizzi starting.

A team-by-team breakdown of the AL Central clubs at the start of spring training
A team-by-team look at the American League Central entering spring training, including key players each club acquired and lost, and dates of the first workout for pitchers and catchers, and the full squad:
Tumblr media

Kansas City Royals
Manager: Mike Matheny (first season).
2019: 59-103, fourth place.
Training Town: Surprise, Arizona.
Park: Surprise Stadium.
First Workout: Feb. 12/17.
He’s Here: Manager Mike Matheny, RHP Trevor Rosenthal, RHP Braden Shipley, RHP Greg Holland, 3B Maikel Franco.
He’s Outta Here: Manager Ned Yost, INF Cheslor Cuthbert, RHP Trevor Oaks, RF Jorge Bonifacio.
Going campin’: The biggest moves for the Royals this season came away from the field.
Longtime owner David Glass, who died last month after a long illness, sold the franchise to a group led by Kansas City businessman John Sherman in a deal worth about $1 billion.
News of the sale became public about the time Yost announced his retirement and the Royals hired Matheny, who had been serving in an advisory role with the organization. It will be up to Matheny to continue a massive rebuilding effort that began shortly after the club’s 2015 championship season.
Young players such as SS Adalberto Mondesi, 2B Nicky Lopez, RF Hunter Dozier and OF Bubba Starling have already arrived and gained valuable experience last season, and a wave of pitching prospects could arrive late this year.
Success in 2020 will be measured less by wins than by the progress those players make as they position themselves to contend in 2021 and beyond.

Minnesota Twins
Manager: Rocco Baldelli (second season).
2019: 101-61, first place, lost to Yankees in Division Series.
Training Town: Fort Myers, Florida.
Park: Hammond Stadium at CenturyLink Sports Complex.
First Workout: Feb. 12/17.
He’s Here: 3B Josh Donaldson, RHP Kenta Maeda, RHP Homer Bailey, RHP Tyler Clippard, C Alex Avila, LHP Rich Hill, RHP Matt Wisler, RHP Jhoulys Chacin, LHP Blaine Hardy.
He’s Outta Here: RHP Brusdar Graterol, RHP Kyle Gibson, 1B C.J. Cron, 2B Jonathan Schoop, C Jason Castro, LHP Martín Pérez, RHP Ryne Harper, RHP Trevor Hildenberger, RHP Sam Dyson.
Going campin’: The high-priced addition of the big-swinging, slick-fielding Donaldson boosted an already deep lineup that produced a major league record 307 home runs last season.
Then came the agreement this week on the pending blockbuster trade with the Red Sox and Dodgers to land Maeda for the middle of the rotation, with Graterol, a 21-year-old flame-thrower, going out in a signal the front office is all in on 2020 on the heels of a breakthrough season.
Maeda or not, spring training will be an important time for starting pitching prospects Randy Dobnak, Devin Smeltzer and Lewis Thorpe, all of whom made their major league debuts last year.
With Michael Pineda serving the remainder of his suspension for taking a banned diuretic until mid-May and Hill recovering from elbow surgery until probably mid-summer, innings will need to be logged by some of the youngsters. Chacin, in camp on a minor league contract, is another candidate.
The position players are all but set, with Miguel Sanó needing to get in a groove with the glove at first base after Donaldson’s arrival pushed him off the opposite corner.
The spotlight will also be on center fielder Byron Buxton and his latest attempt to get healthy following shoulder surgery last September.
There will also be new coaches on Baldelli’s staff for players to get accustomed to, with Mike Bell the new bench coach and Edgar Varela the new hitting coach. Bell replaced Derek Shelton, who became manager of the Pirates. Varela replaced James Rowson, who became the bench coach for the Marlins.
Tumblr media

Cleveland Indians
Manager: Terry Francona (seventh season).
2019: 93-69, second place in AL Central.
Training Town: Goodyear, Arizona.
Park: Goodyear Ballpark.
First Workout: Feb. 13/17.
He’s Here: 2B Cesar Hernandez, OF Delino DeShields, RHP Emmanuel Clase, C Sandy Leon.
He’s Outta Here: RHP Corey Kluber, 2B Jason Kipnis, OF Yasiel Puig, RHP Tyler Clippard, INF Mike Freeman, OF Leonys Martin, LHP Tyler Olson, RHP Dan Otero, C Kevin Plawecki, RHP Danny Salazar, RHP Nick Goody.
Going campin’: The Indians missed the playoffs for the first time since 2015 last season as Minnesota dethroned Cleveland as division champion.
The team’s decision to trade Kluber, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, in December to Texas has signaled a major shift for the organization, which will count on young starters like All-Star Game MVP Shane Bieber and Mike Clevinger to fill a huge void at the front of the rotation.
Third baseman Jose Ramirez’s prolonged slump hurt the offense for much of last season, and just when he found his groove, a wrist injury sabotaged his season along with the Indians’ chances of catching the Twins.
Hernandez takes over at second, where Kipnis was a mainstay for nine seasons. The outfield remains unsettled, with Oscar Mercado, who batted .269 in 115 games as a rookie, the only one guaranteed a starting spot. Slugger Franmil Reyes is an option in right, but he’s not exactly a Gold Glover.
All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor’s future hangs over the team, and his situation will only become more of a distraction as he moves closer to possible free agency after 2021.
Cleveland’s first-half success could determine whether the team rides out the year with him or deals Lindor at the deadline.

Chicago White Sox
Manager: Rick Renteria (fourth season).
2019: 72-89, third place.
Training Town: Glendale, Arizona.
Park: Camelback Ranch.
First Workout: Feb. 12/17.
He’s Here: C Yasmani Grandal, LHP Dallas Keuchel, LHP Gio González, 1B-DH Edwin Encarnación, RF Nomar Mazara, RHP Steve Cishek, LF Cheslor Cuthbert.
He’s Outta Here: INF Yolmer Sánchez, C Welington Castillo, RHP Iván Nova.
Going campin’: The White Sox are coming off seven consecutive losing seasons. They haven’t made the playoffs since they lost to Tampa Bay in the 2008 AL Division Series.
But there is reason for optimism heading into spring training.
Free-agent deals for Grandal, Keuchel, González, Encarnación and Cishek strengthened the lineup, rotation and bullpen. Tim Anderson, Yoán Moncada, Eloy Jiménez and José Abreu anchor a deep batting order, and slugging center fielder Luis Robert is one of the favorites for the AL Rookie of the Year award.
If Chicago can sort out the back end of its rotation — Reynaldo López is coming off an inconsistent season, and touted prospects Michael Kopech and Dylan Cease have their own question marks — it could contend for the AL Central title.

Detroit Tigers
Manager: Ron Gardenhire (third season).
2019: 47-114, fifth place.
Training Town: Lakeland, Florida.
Park: Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium.
First Workout: Feb. 12/17.
He’s Here: 2B Jonathan Schoop, RHP Ivan Nova, 1B C.J. Cron, C Austin Romine, C Eric Haase, RHP Zack Godley.
He’s Outta Here: SS Ronny Rodriguez, RHP Drew VerHagen, LHP Blaine Hardy, RHP Edwin Jackson, RHP Tyson Ross, SS Gordon Beckham, LHP Matt Moore, C John Hicks, LHP Daniel Stumpf, RHP Victor Alcantara, RHP Zac Reininger, LHP Matt Hall.
Going campin’: The Tigers hope the worst is behind them in their rebuild.
Casey Mize — the No. 1 pick in the 2018 draft — headlines a highly regarded group of pitching prospects. Although the expectation is that Mize and fellow right-hander Matt Manning will start the season at Triple-A, they’ll both be at spring training as non-roster invitees along with left-hander Tarik Skubal.
So fans in Lakeland will get a preview of what they hope will be some significant rotation help down the road.
Detroit’s leader in home runs last year was Brandon Dixon, who hit only 15 and is now a non-roster invitee. In an effort to boost their anemic offense, the Tigers added Schoop and Cron, who could become mainstays on the right side of the infield.
Shortstop seems like the most likely spot for utility-man Niko Goodrum, while Jeimer Candelario and Dawel Lugo are in the mix at third base. Catching prospect Jake Rogers hit just .125 in 112 at-bats in his big league debut last year. Romine gives Detroit more experience behind the plate.

In 1963, Her Disapproving Parents Sent Her To A Mental Institution, 44 Years Later She Got Her Revenge
New Post has been published on https://parentinguideto.com/must-see/in-1963-her-disapproving-parents-sent-her-to-a-mental-institution-44-years-later-she-got-her-revenge/
In 1963, Her Disapproving Parents Sent Her To A Mental Institution, 44 Years Later She Got Her Revenge
You don’t need to have read One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest to know that mental institutions in the ’60s weren’t happy places. Built to inhabit those who didn’t conform to the strict rules of society at the time, mental institutes were a mix of underperforming schoolchildren, truanting teens, and anarchic adults – most of whom were not mentally deficient in the slightest, but simply those who went against “the system”.
One of those patients was 19-year-old Julie Mannix. The daughter of extremely wealthy parents – her father, Daniel P. Mannix, wrote the book the Fox and the Hound which was later adapted by Disney for the screen – the young debutante from Philadelphia had her life mapped out for her. Her parent’s expected their beautiful blonde daughter to marry a rich man, but instead, she fell “madly” in love with a young Jewish boy from the Bronx in New York City, called Frank von Zernceck. But the 23-year-old did not meet the approval of her parents. To add further scandal, during a trip to the family gynecologist it was discovered that the teen was pregnant. Rather than discuss the situation with Julie, the doctor went directly to her parents who were horrified by the news that their unmarried daughter was pregnant with the child of a boy they thought unworthy. Not only that, but it later transpired that Frank was married. “Just like that, the life I’d known suddenly came to a halt,” Julie recalls. Concerned about how the story would affect the family’s reputation, Julie’s parents devised a drastic plan to deter any unfavorable rumors from surfacing. Diagnosing their daughter as “severely depressed” they committed her to a psychiatric facility where they planned for her to have a secret abortion. It’s important to note that at this point, that until 1973 abortion was illegal in the US, unless the mother or child’s health were at risk – something Julie’s parents had ensured was the case by having her diagnosed “severely depressed.” Determined not to go through with the procedure, Julie fought for her baby’s life. “Although my mother was a staunch Catholic, she had so convinced herself that an abortion would save my future that she was able to justify an act she normally would have abhorred,” she explained to Redbook magazine.
“Much to everyone’s dismay, I wouldn’t sign the papers to authorize the procedure. I held out even after they moved me to the state hospital. I didn’t object to abortion on moral grounds; I just desperately wanted my child — a baby conceived in love, with a man I loved — to live. I had no idea what would happen to my baby, or to me, as a result of my decision. But I’d never felt such conviction before.” “The mental hospital was my punishment for refusing to have an abortion,” Julie explained. “Being betrayed so horrifically by my family — and Frank, I couldn’t even think about Frank — shattered me.” During her six months in the mental facility, Julie thought about her child’s future. “I began to think of what I would want for my daughter when she was born: a mother, a father, a home, a room of her own, and a happy, ordinary life,” was what Julie lusted after, but these dreams made her realize something.”I knew I couldn’t give her any of those things,” she explained painfully.
“I was held in the state hospital for six months, until the day my water broke. On April 19, 1964, at a Catholic Charities hospital near Philadelphia, I gave birth to a beautiful and healthy little girl. I was allowed to see her only once, from five feet away, before I gave her up. I named her Aimee Veronica. Aimee means “loved”, Veronica means “bearer of victory.” As I signed the adoption papers, my heart ripped apart. I put down the pen, turned away, and, on shaky legs, I left my baby behind.”
“I thought of Aimee constantly in the decades that followed. My longing for her triggered a series of deep depressions, which would come on quickly and linger for weeks; the passing years never softened them … There was nothing to do but pray that she was with a good family and growing up loved.”
However, during this time a small ray of light appeared in Julie’s life. “Frank divorced his wife while I was institutionalized. He had called and written me daily, but all attempts at contact were thwarted by my parents,” explains Julie. “After giving up Aimee, I moved to New York to become an actress, and Frank and I began seeing each other again. On January 15, 1965, we were married.” When her parents found out what their daughter had done, she was “unsurprisingly, disinherited.” Frank and Julie would go on to have another two children together: Danielle, born in 1965 (a year after Aimee was born) and Frank Jr. born in 1968. Despite being clueless as to the whereabouts of their first child, they celebrated her birth each year. “Every year on April 19, Frank and I celebrated Aimee’s birthday, the date of which we had engraved on the inside of our wedding rings,” Julie writes. However, Frank and Julie wouldn’t always be in the dark about the daughter they unwillingly put up for adoption, for Aimee was to find them. Except, she wasn’t Aimee when they reunited. Kathleen Marie Wisler had enjoyed a charmed childhood, growing up with a middle-class family who adored her in Florida. “It was as if I had been dropped into the first chapter of a fairy tale,” she explains, before adding: “but we all know how fairy tales go.” Sadly, Kathy’s adoptive mother passed away when she was six-years-old after losing her battle to cancer. Four years later, her adoptive father would remarry a woman 16 years his junior, adopting her two daughters in the process. “The marriage was a disaster from the start,” Kathy recalls. “There were constant fights about money — and really, everything else.” It was during this turbulent time that Kathy learned that she was adopted after her step-sister spat “At least I’m not really adopted,” during a row. Confused and hurt by this news, Kathy waited for her father to come home. But, when she asked him if it were true he simply replied: “I thought you knew. Your brothers are adopted, too.” “I’ve never thought of you as anything but my daughter,” he said. “I’ll never forget the day Mom and I went to the hospital to get you. You were crying so hard, but then — ” he smiled, “they handed you to Mom and you stopped. You knew you belonged with us. You’re my daughter, kiddo.” Kathy’s life would only get more chaotic as time went on. Her father divorced his second wife two years later and the family lost their home after her dad was laid off from his job. “Somehow, the descent into poverty pulled my family closer together,” Kathy recalls. In 1986, she graduated from high school and began to work at a stock brokerage firm, where she reconnected with her high-school boyfriend Brian Hatfield, whom she married two years later. Whilst walking his daughter down the aisle, Kathy’s dad leaned in to whisper: “Mom would be proud of the woman you’ve become.” It wasn’t until Kathy had two children of her own that she began to think about her birth mother. Noticing differences in their genetics and characteristics, Kathy couldn’t help but speculate that her two daughters had inherited their blue eyes and agility from her own parents.
“I wrote a letter to Catholic Social Services of Philadelphia requesting my background information. Three weeks later a large white envelope arrived. I held it for nearly a minute before slicing it open and pulling out the document. First, there was the information about my mother: age 20, Catholic, 5-foot-4, blonde hair. And yes, blue eyes. Then my father: age 23, Jewish, 5-foot-6, black hair.”
“I had only envisioned a mother, and the thought of my birth father rattled me. I read his information again. ‘Special Aptitudes: singing, dancing, acting.’ He’s gay, I immediately thought. For her it was first love; for him it was an experimental fling; for me it was bad timing.
 I imagined my rejected, pregnant mother turning to the nuns at Catholic Social Services, then leaving me behind to start a quiet life in a predictable town where she would regretfully live out the rest of her days. I felt guilty for picturing her in such a cheerless light.” “I slid the form back in the envelope, along with any desire to find my birth parents. I just wasn’t ready. And that didn’t change three years later, when my father died and I found my adoption papers among his things. I just felt orphaned and alone.” “Then one day, while sorting through some files, I came across that envelope from Catholic Social Services. It had been 10 years since I’d looked at it last. Armed with it and the birth name, Aimee Veronica Mannix, that was on my adoption papers, I turned to Google.”
After a quick search online, Kathy discovered the New York Times obituary for Daniel Pratt Mannix IV, her biological grandfather, who’d died in 1997. From that she learned that he had a daughter, named Julie.
“I searched Julie Mannix, which led me to the Internet Movie Database [IMDB]. The Julie Mannix now in front of me was an actress with a career dating back to the mid-’60s who had married a television producer named Frank von Zerneck in 1965, the year after I was born.”
However, this discovery only served to torture Kathy who told herself, “they’re fine without you.” But, she couldn’t stop herself from renting the film La Bamba after learning that her potential biological sister featured in it. “‘Look,’ I said to Bryan as I watched Danielle, ‘we have the same smile, same laugh, same way we tilt our heads’,” she recalls. The next day Kathy wrote a letter to Frank and Julie, which she posted in November 2008:
“How do I begin a letter like this? Well, I think I’ll simply just start with: I was born on April 19, 1964, in Philadelphia. Based on the documents Catholic Social Services provided me, I find it plausible that you may know some information concerning my birth family…. It is not my intention to interrupt their lives; I simply want to connect on any level they feel comfortable.” Two days later she received a call from Julie, who she explained everything to, from how her mother had died when she was six to how she was married with two children. Once she had finished, Julie spoke; “‘Kathy—,’ she said, with a tenderness that filled me with hope, ‘I’m your mother’.” Eight months later, after sharing several photographs and emails, they arranged to meet at the Ritz-Carlton in New York City, where Kathy had been conceived.
“I enter through the double doors. Every seat in the lounge is taken. Scanning the crowd for her, I try not to panic. I calm my nerves with a self-audit, smoothing my trousers and touching each piece of jewelry: earrings, necklace, wedding ring. I feel a gloved hand tap my shoulder. ‘Madam, are you meeting someone?’ the doorman asks.
“I turn and look over my shoulder to see her. It’s like looking at my own eyes staring back at me. ‘Kathy,’ she says, asking yet knowing. I can only smile in response. She steps toward me with open arms, and for the first time, I feel the embrace of my mother.
The incredible story has now been adapted to a book, Secret Storms, which tells the tale in more detail. But, even with limited knowledge, it’s a heartbreaking story. But, as Kathy said, it had a fairytale ending! We wish Julie and her family the best of luck for the future now that they’re reunited and whole again.

I wish to know more of your awesome OCs!! So, 19, 22(or maybe as an alternative if they don't, something you mischaracterize on some of them by mistake? Odd, but I sometimes mess up my own ocs XD), 23, 24, 26, and 32 for the OC questions!!
Oh! You beautiful person you! 💖🥺 Of course I shall tell you more about my many, many ocs! Hopefully I can fulfill! 🥰🤗
More undercut because this turned out to be very long ~ 😅
19.  Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why).
Aw, honestly all my OC’s mean so much to me! It is hard to play favorites sometimes lol. Though, if I had to choose, I’m going with two of them!
Samantha, or Sam, is definitely my baby and has definitely developed so much from her original self. Nonetheless, still the same shy, curious girl who has a big role to uphold as chosen Beta to her Alpha. Plus, being a Legendary Wolf Warrior of Light, even more so! Still, despite many the many hardships and obstacles she has faced, she is still hopeful and a total sweetheart. She just wants a settled life and live her with her closest pack mates. 
I have definitely put her though the ringer a lot, emotionally and even explored just several internal things with her. I know Danielle is meant to be me in a sense, but personality and emotional wise, I am more like this lovely Angel. Best girl and everyone loves her!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Second is definitely Danielle (my BsD self insert). Personally, because I have started to embrace her and give her more of my personality and who I really am. Still keeping her as her own person with her struggles, in some aspects, but giving her more of me as well. She has definitely allowed me to have some more self love for myself. Even if it is come and go on most days. She has just grown to be more of a gradual part of me in the recent years since I got into Bsd. I truly love her as she gives me a reason to embrace the parts of me I never would have considered so much or even just not like about me.
Self shipping has definitely also helped, I just love Dany very much and hold her close, please she may be stubborn but she is hella fragile ;;;w;;;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
22. Is there any OC of yours people tend to mischaracterize? If yes, how?
Hm, I wouldn't say anyone has mischaracterized my characters so much that I know of, maybe my parents whenever there is a moment they see my Oc’s and just make a judgement on them on the spot lol.
I suppose me mischaracterizing my OCs would probably be the Seven Deadly Soul Sins? Maybe ^^, These seven, practically, ghost entities of the Seven Deadly Sins are meant to be perceived as the worst possible people/wolves. Their existence is the reason people do bad things and are the negative contrast to the Legendary Wolf Warriors. 
Take an old, unfinished draw of all 7 of them together~
Tumblr media
I know what they are, how they behave, what their very existence and presence entails. However, I have come to the bad tendency of redemption in my line of story telling, I often find myself back and forth whether there is any redeemable qualities that should be given to them considering their very existence and such. Envy, or Evelyn, is one that I can definitely see having something on that accord, but she is still at her core bad. 
Tumblr media
I don't know if I am saying this correctly or even answering the question well lol. But yeah, I say my Deadly Sin OC’s often can be mischaracterized in a way. I can definitely picture them being top favs if my story was an actual thing. I support the fans in all they come lol ^^
 23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?
I can't think of one I changed too much out of concern for what they are like that I can remember to be quite honest ^^, 
I guess maybe Wisler? I know when I first came up with the start up concept of the LWW, I never intended for him to be a previous Warrior. It was always meant to be Dany’s Aunt who possessed it and Wisler was just a precautious elder wolf who needed to teach her to better her powers, less she gives it up like his daughter had. 
Of course, the whole concept and idea, just gives way for him to have been a possible warrior in the past. If anything I just the developed the idea more and made it more of a tragedy for Wisler. Normally, the concept of being a LWW is meant to be a blessing, a gift bestowed by a greater power, but to him, after giving up his power and remaining upon the world, he just sees it as a curse. Pride only solidified that into his mind. Nonetheless, he becomes a mentor to the other warriors to better themselves and keep them from giving up their power.
Second, was more of a momentary interest in the Chronicles of Narnia and being ever so salty about Susan being left behind, while her family died and went to Narnia ;;;w;;; 
Silly thing really, but literally chose, out of all the warriors, Lidia to be the one to be left alive, from whatever scenario I had at the time, because she refused her soul gift of the LWW’s. It was a momentary silly concept, I don't know why I would chose her for this scenario at all, she doesn’t deserve that ;;w;;
If anything, the ones that I can picture are Yamato and Danielle, just because of their mental state and emotional turmoil under such a heavy weight of loss. It was a silly concept I had thought of once, and just cry little at the thought ;;w;; 
24. If you could meet one OC of yours, who would it be and why?
Heck, I would love to meet all of them... and heavy apologize for all the hell I've put them all through ;;;w;;;
But Jason~ most definitely...Not cause I self ship myself with him or anything but UwU,,, He is a sweetheart and a beautiful boi ~ I want to love him and give him a soft life pls.
Tumblr media
26. Have you ever had to change your OC’s design or something else about them against your will? 
Ahh,,, All of them, in a way? ^^; my middle self was something else entirely~
I think design wise, most if not all my warriors, are still the same. Maybe just a few new upgrades in their fur shade, colored eyes, and maybe their human designs too. Most definitely will change more in the future, just for the sake of bettering myself to draw people.
Tumblr media
Old, high school art~ Cringe 
Any new design change is purely out of being in a more better mindset of design and just development of what make them unique. I have definitely changed all of their Soul Markings, I have changed Lidia’s name from Leafia recently, Taka’s formerly sky blue eyes to more of a pale green, Sora’s former tail scar to the claw ones on her shoulder, etc.
Origin, personality and relation wise on the other hand, GRADUAL SHIFT! Some points:
Sora, Yamato, and Takaru are heavily inspired by the Digimon Adventure kids of the same name, I kept their surnames of the ones from the series for a long time into at most Junior Year of High School. Til I learned, if I want to make them my own, I have to change this entirely!
So Sora, Yamato, and Takaru are definitely different entirely from their original selves, personality and kind of design wise.
Sam was kind of meant to be like Kari from Digimon in a way, but heavily refused to name her that or make her in similarity of the character.
Another Oc of mine named Jacob Wolfe was originally going to be the Warrior of Earth before I came up with Lidia.
There was originally meant to be just 5 Warriors, Lidia and Jason not yet part of it and, surprisingly, neither was Danielle.
Jason was originally named Damien and was kind of, for a while, Danielle’s twin sibling... Changed that drastically and entirely after renaming him to Jason.
Originally, had some other mythical beasts living amongst them in the Forest of Dreams, like dragons and gryphons for a while.
Originally, played with the idea of the warriors coming back to life if they didn't give up their powers, but... after much though it just became more of a “too cheesy of choice?” Especially for an ending thing before the next generation kids come in, it was just not an option after a while.
These are just some that I can think of at the top of my head at least, I am sure there is much more scrap things in my mind lol.
32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why? 
...God I don't want any of them to fecking die grueso-(I should shut my mouth actually),,, even though I will admit I did internally put my warriors into a shitty thought-out idea of them in a Final Destination scenario...
Ahh, may Yamato in a way as that stoic, hardened protagonist with the will too try and survive, Wrath is his counter self sin, I find that fitting in a way. Same with Jason, just because of his slight nativity to being a warrior and how he left his former abusive living from his alpha and stepfather. Oddly enough, maybe Sam? Just because of her ability to see the worst things to happen in the future, but I am not sure lol.
Am thinking of the new Resident Evil game I see floating around with some gamer youtubers and I can see Yamato and/or Jason in the position and setting.
—✨——✨——✨—
I truly enjoyed all these questions! It gave me time to think and reflect on my ocs! I do hope you enjoy some old, blurred and unfinished art from ya wolf girl~ I truly appreciate this and gives me the feels of validation! ;;;w;;;

Twins Back Berrios In Game 1 Win!
Twins 7 Cardinals 3 W-Berrios (4-3) L-Martinez (0-2)
The Minnesota Twins headed out on the road for a quick doubleheader today in St. Louis before heading back home tonight. The Twins bats were up to the task in the first game this afternoon. Willians Astudillo ignited a Twins rally in the third with a one-out single to left. Luis Arraez followed with a base hit to left to bring up Josh Donaldson. Donaldson smacked a Carlos Martinez slider out to left for a three-run blast and the Twins took a 3-0 lead after three frames. Willians Astudillo help get the offense going again in the fourth with a two-out double to center. Luis Arraez singled him home and the Twins extended their lead to four runs. In the fifth, Nelson Cruz drilled a Jake Woodford fastball out to right-center for a solo homer and the Twins had a five-run advantage. Meanwhile, Jose Berrios sailed through five shutout innings then hit a wall in the sixth. Kolten Wong led-off the sixth with a walk and Tommy Edman crushed a Jose Berrios curveball out to right for a two-run blast. This pulled the Cardinals within three and they were not done yet. Paul Goldschmidt singled and went to second on a passed ball and gained third base on a groundball. Goldschmidt later scored on a Matt Wisler wild pitch and the Cardinals were within a pair. Matt Wisler finished off the sixth inning and the Twins would add some insurance runs in the seventh. Jorge Polanco started the seventh with a single to left. With two outs, Miguel Sano hammered a Ryan Helsley change-up out to left for a two-run homer and the Twins took a 7-3 lead. Sergio Romo struck out the side in the seventh and the Twins took the opener of the doubleheader today. 
-Final Thoughts- Jose Berrios threw five shutout innings and it was turning out to be his best start of the year until the sixth inning. He went five-plus innings and allowed three runs on four hits with two walks and eight strikeouts. Matt Wisler threw a scoreless sixth. Sergio Romo fanned all three batters he faced in the seventh. Luis Arraez, Josh Donaldson, Eddie Rosario, and Willians Astudillo led the team with two hits each. The Twins hit 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position and left six men on base. Jake Odorizzi will throw to live hitters at CHS Field one more team before possibly being activated. Randy Dobnak will face Daniel Ponce de Leon in the nightcap from Busch Stadium.
