#THE FACT MAJORITY OF THEM AREN'T LIKE WITH ACTUAL CHARACTERS AND JUST OCS... | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Note

Can you talk more about Florian and Mara airing out the Ravens dirty laundry? You mentioned it on my RIP Riko meme post and I’ve been curious about it. (Also just talk more about those OCs too if you wanted. Who are they n what’s their deal?)

with TSC now out I've been able to refine them and some of their facts and also more of what they'd spill about the Ravens and their experiences

putting this under the cut for TSC spoilers and also cause it'll probably be a long post

quick rundown of Mara and Florian's characters ig

Florian Laska (he/they):

19 years old

extremely bisexual

an early recruit to the Ravens who graduated high school early with the intent of running away from his mother as soon as possible

started playing for the Ravens at age 16

started as dealer but now plays as a striker

got a severe injury "in a scrimmage" with the Ravens that resulted in the loss of his leg, he continues playing with a prosthetic

fingers are heavily mishapen from being broken so many times and never set

dropped out Edgar Allan University for reasons still unknown (refusal to explain to the press)

wanted to be a nursing student

at the time of TSC is the youngest recruit for the olympic court and plays with fellow former raven Mara Fasil

commitment issues

covered in scars the most noticable being around his wrists, self harm scars, and a bite mark on his neck

learned french from Jean and Mara and bits and pieces of arabic and berber from Mara

told Kevin if his hand didn't get better they could just chop it off and give him a new one like they did with Florian's leg

Mara Fasil (she/her):

23 years old

if I did my math right she would've been a junior at the time Florian started with the Ravens

i don't actually remember if the Ravens have rules against partners being different genders but um if they do then fuck that because Mara was Florian's partner and they're still unhealthily codependent

wanted to major in architecture

she's lost track of how many times her nose has been broken but she's pretty sure it's in the double digits. has been pressured to get surgery to straighten it and refuses to

a raging lesbian who's also a raging asexual

personally i think she should date thea but idk ig i can't have everything

a dealer

still has not adjusted to 24 hour days

graduated in 4 years instead of the expected 5 which was partially motivated by Florian dropping out

ANYWAY these two are major troublemakers especially for their Olympic teammates. Florian is typically much more subdued and grounded than Mara who is more hot tempered and has trouble watching her mouth except for that time that Florian yelled at Tetsuji in front of a bunch of players from a variety of teams (and immediately threw up) (this was post leaving the Ravens)

Mara has a bad habit of just not shutting her mouth around the press now that she's allowed to be in front of them. she will not so subtly imply that most of her injuries are not from innocent practices and games. Has engaged in twitter discourse by dropping memes (specifically dropped one of that grant gustin peace sign meme with riko's name on the grave and "me" written over grant gustin shortly after riko's death)

Florian's exposure of the Ravens is largely from slip ups in front of the press. Pulled a Kevin Day "did you never know I've never been skiing" implying him losing his leg wasn't caused by a really bad scrimmage injury and was a lot more purposeful than that. Refused to meet with the press for 3 months following the incident.

it's almost impossible to catch the two separately. and if they aren't seen together they're always with someone else (usually Emiko or another member of the Olympic team, who did not sign up for this shit rip). Florian specifically has a godawful time not being with someone 24/7 (if he's at an Exy event and can't find any of his team he will purposefully seek out other Ravens, usually Kevin or Jean if he can find them, or Thea if she's there)

It's by the time TSC rolls around/the end of TKM that Florian starts getting pissed off enough to start purposefully dropping hints to the press about the Ravens. When the investigation starts and Tetsuji resigns a lot of his comments become a lot more targeted and it eventually results in Jeremy seeing enough that he contacts Kevin to get Florian's contact info so he can hopefully get some answers (he is only somewhat successful and Florian tells him it's only cause he has such a pretty face)

I don't know how yet but one of them, Florian I think, has some ties to the Moriyama's albeit distant that manage to snag them some level of protection from Ichirou so they don't yk get killed

Florian has visible scarring he does often hint at coming from other Ravens and it being purposeful. Mara has outright stated she was a target of many of her teammates. Mara has also called the Ravens a shit team which Florian then tried to smooth over and failed to do so (couldn't call them a good team without implying they're only that successful cause they play dirty)

Florian's a lot more snarky (and really just an outright cunt) in private and without cameras in his face but if he's being hounded enough it'll come out and he has flipped off more reporters than he'd like to admit

basically they're stupid and stumbling their way through dealing with the press for the first time in their lives and it just happens to coincide with the Ravens having the WORST time

that's where i'm leaving it cause this shit has gotten too long omg though i'd love to talk about Em and Ilya at some point I cannot keep writing an essay on these guys lmao

#ty for asking about them!#asks #aftg #aftg ocs #my ocs #all for the game #tsc #just in case

Tell us your 3 fave OC ships and the song(s) or other media you associate with them. Pass this on to 3 others (on or off anon) and let's keep the game going!

Thank you so much for this ask! <3

Honestly this is hella hard to answer for me given that

a) I can't get myself to keep going with Volatile for some fucking reason so a lot of potential ships in my story aren't realized yet or worse the characters in it haven't even been properly introduced yet (kill me, I'm bad at this)

and b) I'm really not that good at this whole romantic ship thing I'm realizing, the relationships that I personally find the most interesting in my story are either platonic, friendships, parental, sibling like relationships...that kinda stuff.

There are very few ships that I have planned in Volatile at the moment. And a lot of them are kinda crack ships or ships that are completely doomed by the narrative aka me.

Then of course there's the fact that I would spoil the hell out of people by dabbling into ships that haven't been introduced yet so....eh.....

That being said, I don't know if I can really give a good answer to this, much less an answer that anyone reading this could actually follow or find interesting at this point in time x_x

Anywhoo...I'll try.

Let's start with Roland and Liz,which is like the only potential canon ship I have in Volatile at the moment xDD

(some spoilery pics cuz I feel like it)

I absolutely adore these two together but as of now I don't think they'll have a future unless I decide to do a major rewrite. Idk. We'll see,

Anyhoo...these songs always makes me think of them:

youtube

---------------------

Then my favourite Crack/AU ship, Mabon and Caspian (courtesy of @drawing-way-outside-the-lines)

They're not really a crack ship xD But I didn't really have the chance to develop them much just yet, so as of now they're just an outlet for more nsfw and edgy shit and a more unhinged Mabon who wouldn't really be in character in the canon universe.

I find their dynamic interesting though because I feel like they both see the worst parts of themselves in each other which validates them and their behavior in certain ways, but also causes them to low key despise each other. It's a picture book co-dependent relationship that could force them to confront parts of themselves that they'd probably much rather ignore.

They have a couple of songs that I relate to them but I feel like these sum up their relationship the best:

youtube

---------------------

Aaaand last but not least:

Mel and Simon

I am not entirely sure yet how this ship will evolve, again, since Simon hasn't even been introduced in Volatile yet despite him being present on my blog for quite some time now.

But I think they're cute af together, and they have the potential to do each other a lot of good or absolutely wreck each other . That's all I can say as of now.

They also get two songs

One from Simon's view:

youtube

One from Mel's view:

youtube

#sims 3 #tag #Oc: Melvin Holloway #Oc: Simon Davis #Oc: Roland Lynch #Oc: Liz Thompson #Oc: Mabon AU #Caspian Jacob D'Angelo #I left out certain ships deliberately because they would be waay too spoilery #This is a whole lotta unnecessary rambling #I apologize for that

this flopped on reddit so i hope y'all like it more

So, hi. It's been a very long while since I've talked about my OC Vault Hunters here, and, well... things have changed. And I'm better at wording things.

Here's my... well, I wouldn't say propositions, more like full blown concepts for the entire BL4 VH team.

Basics

First thing: there's 8 classes, and not 4. The Watcher did say we'd need as many as we can get.

In my head, 6 of them are base-game, and the last two are DLC. Coincidentally, the last two are mechanically unusual classes compared to the rest of the team (and even to the rest of the Vault Hunters across games), and happen to essentially be multiple people in one playable character - to keep the gender balance, you see: the team already consisted of two dudes, two dudettes and two buddies before I realized I wanted to add more, so the last two are "multiples".

Second thing: I am a lore guy, so I know barely anything about game balance... but I do know some things about game design, and I do in fact have played these games (wow!), so I'd like to think I know what I want to see in these games... BUT I can't escape bias, and I love the way TPS skilltrees were designed, so if you don't like skilltrees encouraging you HEAVILY to use a very specific weapon type, this is probably not the post for you.

Third thing: This is going to be long, but I tried to make it as readable as possible.

Fourth thing: I will be using the BL3 multiple action skill/augment system here, since I like it a lot.

With that out of the way, let's actually get into it.

Lazarus as the Prodigy

Once an urchin scrambling for zir life in the alleyways, now adopted child and protege of the most notorious powercouple in the galaxy (Alistair Hammerlock and Wainwright Jakobs, if it wasn't obvious by zir Jakobs-style attire). Also, ze likes bugs.

Key Words: Sniper, "Soft" Melee, Non-Elemental, Bleed/Stun

Action Skill: Sheer Focus - essentially, an activated gun boosting ability similar to Fade Away, but instead of automatic criticals, it grants Laz the ability to focus shots for a duration. Focusing - or rather, charging - takes a bit of time, but when focused to the maximum, it can do insane damage. The catch is that the "Focus Bonus", even when charged to the max, will be divided by both the pellet count of the weapon and the burst-fire count if it has one, meaning you are heavily encouraged to use those good ol' semi-autos.

And let's not even talk about what happens when you use a fully automatic...

Gimmick: Swappable melee overrides. Each tree has one "starter" override, and additional ones are unlocked the further you go down the tree.

Sheer Focus has a long cooldown and pretty much just exists to boost damage - the overrides are where the real utility is, and are usually available more often. It's sort of like a secondary action skill that you don't really sacrifice a button for.

Do you want to reflect enemy fire with a single stroke of a rapier? Do you want to throw gunpowder in their face and watch them explode when you shoot them? Or maybe take out a banjo and smack them on the head? Lazarus can do all of that.

Additionally, Laz has two other somewhat unique things that aren't unique to specific skill trees:

something called Deadeye Skills, which trigger on crit (or crit-kill, if it's a Deadeye Kill Skill) and are grouped up in a manner similar to Fl4k's Hunter Skills.

great usage of bleed and stun status. Bleed is the same as it was in TPS, a non-elemental damage over time effect. Stun disables the enemy, preventing them from moving or attacking - for obvious reasons, badasses and bosses cannot be stunned and will simply take a bit more damage if they would be stunned by an attack.

Skill Trees: You're in luck here, because I actually made a full detailed skill tree for the Prodigy already. Read it here if you like walls of text.

If you don't, here's a summary:

Green Tree: Legacy - Critical hits. Loads of Deadeye Skills. Major bonuses to Sheer Focus. Not much to say here.

Red Tree: Tradition - Gun damage, heavily favoring non-elemental weapons. Get those FAT one-shots, as the slogan says.

Blue Tree: The New Path - Melee focus. Staying on the move, weaving melee strikes between gunshots, and the bleed/stun status effects I mentioned above. Maybe it's not fair, but who really cares when you can make your enemies into but a fine red mist.

Bartholomew as the Butler

An old model of Jakobs brand butlerbot, deactivated many years ago and only recently turned back on by an unknown variable. Took up vault hunting as a means of... venting his frustrations, so to speak.

Key Words: Berserker, "Hard" Melee, Support, Health Management

Gimmick: Everyone else has a skill-related gimmick, so Bartholomew's gimmick is not having one. Let me know if you can think of one for him.

Action Skills:

Gearshift - fully heals the player and reloads all weapons. Grants a movement and weapon swap speed buff for a short time afterwards

All Out Attack - a large dash with a punch at the end. Has multiple charges. Can be cast multiple times on the same enemy or chained to others.

Overclock - large damage and fire rate buff at the cost of constantly taking damage.

Skill Trees:

Green Tree: Servitude (Gearshift) - A very strange twist on a support tree. Servitude has an entire swathe of team support skills, all of which activate on (mostly) controllable actions such as reloading a gun or reviving an ally. The thing is, upon these buffs activating, Bart takes health damage.

Red Tree: Rage (All Out Attack) - Melee damage, with a focus on increasing melee speed, taking/healing/ignoring damage, not having a shield and mashing that V button into oblivion.

Blue Tree: Restraint (Overclock) - Remember Nisha's Order? This is basically that, to 11. Upon losing a percentage of health, Bartholomew will gain a Restraint stack. Stacks give a variety of buffs, and can even be spent for certain triggered abilities.

Scylla as the Siren

A member of Junpai-7's pirate royalty, disgraced from her home when she became a Phasesight siren. For many decades, she's been wandering the galaxy as a hermit wizard of sorts, and now in her old age she returns to find the Vault, in hopes of preventing some sort of war that she foresaw.

Key Words: Siren, Shock Damage, Crowd Control, Mobility~~, Discount Spellshot~~

Gimmick: Can equip two action skills at once at the cost of sacrificing her grenade slot. Unlike Zane, she has no real way to use grenades, because who needs them when you can electrocute your enemies to death with your bare hands?

Her skill trees also contain (sometimes radically different) variants of the tree's main skill just like Amara, so you can really customize your setup.

Action Skills:

Phasemancy - mind controls an enemy, making them fight for you for a reasonably long duration. Also makes them invincible, though they die instantly when the effect ends. Badasses and bosses can't be mancied, for obvious reasons.

Phasestasis - spawns a large dimensional field, slowing down everything in its radius for a medium duration and causing shock status. Can be re-cast in a different place as long as it's active, but you can't spam-move it.

Phasebolt - a simple shock damage projectile that is precise and deals high damage. Multiple charges.

Skill Trees:

Green Tree: Clairvoyance (Phasemancy) - Mind and some battlefield control, with a bit of sniping for brainy flavor - but rather than using sniping for damage, you'll be using it for utility. Tons of status effect bonuses. Stealing enemy shields and staying ahead of the battle's speed by manipulating it.

Red Tree: Storm Terror (Phasestasis) - Mobility, with a little twist. Rewards not just moving fast, but also staying airborne, jumping, sliding and whatnot. Double jump. Sprinting and shooting. Amp shots for free.

Blue Tree: Wizardry (Phasebolt) - Action skill damage spam, and rewards for doing so. The main deal of this tree is Flow stacks, gained upon using action skills. At base, they don't do much aside from bonus Shock damage - the deal is, you can spend them for other things. Electromagnetic flight, ignoring FFYL and various techniques too strong for those not versed in the arcane arts.

Samuel as the ~~Problem~~ Primordial

Before the incident, he was just a normal Tediore employee working in R&D. Now, he is a vessel of the Vault Monster Uyrru, a locust-like ancient horror. He seeks the Vault both for his "other self", and to figure out what the f/ck is going on.

Key Words: Wildcard, Radiation Damage & Status, Survivability/DR, Ammo Economy, Armor

Gimmick: In a manner similar to Moze, Sam has only one Action Skill, which at base does almost nothing aside from disabling all means of attack. But when you equip Mutations onto it, that's when it gets interesting.

Action Skills: Transform - turns Samuel into his Vault Monster-ish form. As said above, at base it only gives some damage reduction. But when considering Mutations, one can turn Samuel into a:

pestilent master of disease, spawning hordes of bugs from his body.

miniature black hole, hovering over the battlefield and emitting huge waves of radiation.

feral creature, slashing at the enemy with humongous claws.

variety of other things.

Transform does have augments too, but they are not specific to a certain Mutation.

Skill Trees: I have a full skill tree for him as well... but it's still a heavy work in progress, so I won't be sharing it here just yet. Here's the summary:

Green Tree: Resourcefulness - Ammo/grenade stuff. Unlike Moze's tree, this one actually somewhat encourages reloading. Instead of gaining ammo in your mag, Samuel simply picks up more ammo from pickups or even gains back a bit of a weapon's mag when he reloads. Sometimes you need to make most of what you get instead of summoning it out of thin air.

Red Tree: Eldritch Potential - Radiation damage and utility tree, with a bit of splash. Curiously enough it encourages Samuel to get statused, and keep rad status on enemies. Power at a price. But you do get immunity to Radiation!

Blue Tree: Perseverance - Survivability tree. Not that special, aside from the fact it tends to give DR instead of the usual health/shield capacity like most survivability trees. Tends to be more effective the closer to death you are. Also, allows you to gain armor, because it'd be funny to have a VH with three health bars.

Val as the Fanatic

Former member of the CoV, Valor was given the role of Saint of Sparks and Honor. Even after the Calypsos fell, they try to find spiritual guidance and enlightenment in the Vaults. Half blind, has taken a vow of silence and speaks through a floating drone which follows nearby and relays messages through neural uplink.

Key Words: Splash Damage, Support, Healing~~, BIG DAMAGE ALL THE TIME FOREVER~~

Gimmick: Has the option to equip two grenades at once, which synergizes extremely well with their skills, as many of them activate on grenade thrown.

Action Skills:

Battle Prayer - somewhat minor team gun stat buff, but lingers for a reasonably long time.

Dodge Roll - exactly what it sounds like, gives i-frames. Does not trigger "action skill start" effects, not that Val has any of those in their skill tree.

Deep Pockets - forsakes an Action Skill entirely for the ability to equip two grenade mods.

Skill Trees:

Green Tree: Spirit (Battle Prayer) - A variety of team-wide support skills that reward the team for actually sticking together and helping one another. Buffs Val themselves too, of course. Has a few health restoring abilities as well.

Red Tree: Faith (Dodge Roll) - Insane fire rate! Mag sizes that would make Moze weep! Melee damage! All for the low low price of your enemies' lives and all of your accuracy! Vault-Gods, take the wheel!

Blue Tree: Piety (Deep Pockets) - Splash damage, especially grenades. Mostly focused on radius and spamming rather than the splash damage itself being big. Insert Holy Hand Grenade reference here.

Alkimia as the Trooper

A mysterious, brooding woman who defected from an elite, secretive cyborg division of the Maliwan army upon being ordered to kill civillians. Is a poet-philosopher with an unusually calm demeanor for her line of work.

Key Words: Corporate Soldier, Elemental Damage, Status Effects and Interactions, Versatility, Gadgets/Utility, Mild RNG

Gimmick: May swap the element of her Action Skill, similar to Amara. Defaults to Corrosive, but can be changed to Cryo or Incendiary with enough skill point investment.

Action Skills:

Asclepios - a hovering drone shaped a bit like a snake which flies at enemies and attacks them with its elemental beam.

Reaction Globule - Alkimia throws a big ball of elemental sludge that bounces around and deals damage.

Traversal - dashes/teleports Alkimia forward like a Maliwan Flash trooper, dealing action skill damage to anything in her path. May ragdoll weaker enemies at the endpoint.

Skill Trees: I am also working on Alkimia's skill tree. Trying to figure out something really neat. Here's what I got so far.

Green Tree: Catalyst (Asclepios) - Elemental damage and status effects, with a small twist. Instead of just applying status, you want to combine status effects and react them with one another. Burn them with corrosive damage, electrolyze their skin, or abuse the laws of thermodynamics to combine Cryo and Incendiary.

Red Tree: Evolution (Reaction Globule) - General damage, with some Claptrap-esque randomness. The joke is that evolution is an organism trying to gain advantage in an unfavorable environment, and in this case the organism is the player. You better own a variety of guns. That's the price of experimental tech.

Blue Tree: Adaptability (Traversal) - Utility and some survivability (mostly elemental focused). Almost all of the passive bonuses in this tree change either with Alkimia's Action Skill Element, or with the conditions present on the battlefield.

Kat & Dawg as the Partners in Crime

A one-for-two Vault Hunter deal, Katherine and her tink wife Desmond have been sharpening their teeth (and blades) on heists big and small for ages, with Kat being the brawn and Dawg the mastermind of their operation. However, when they caught wind of the Vault, they immediately embarked on their biggest heist ever, the one that might just set them up for life.

Key Words: Pet Class, Inventory Management, Incendiary Damage, Stuns, Mild RNG

Gimmick: As said above, these two are a package deal, do not separate. While the player controls Kat, Dawg just piggybacks on top of her, occasionally commenting on combat or story beats.

The real deal is when these two enter combat. Kat may deploy Dawg with the action skill button, and the latter will stay deployed until she dies or is picked up. If she dies, she respawns back on Kat's back ready to be deployed again, somewhat similar to Fl4k's pets.

While Dawg is on the field, Kat can use her own action skill. (If Dawg dies, she can't, until Dawg is redeployed anew!) She has three, just like most others, but which one she equips also determines what kind of weapon Dawg will be wielding in combat.

Action Skills:

Trust Throw - summons Dawg back to Kat, then she immediately throws her back into the battlefield with a damage boost for a short time. Enemies hit ~~by THE TINK CANNONBALL~~ are stunned. Also heals Dawg back to full, because.... the power of love, or something.

Whirl 'Em - Kat gets out her trusty scrap-axe and spins it in a manner similar to the Brrzerker from Wonderlands, but with incendiary damage instead.

Mystery Bag - Kat takes out Dawg and her's bag of loot, and checks it for anything useful. The pool of what she can find is around 20ish different items with various small beneficial effects: free grenades that are thrown immediately, health hypos or even ancient Eridian doohickeys.

Skill Trees:

Green Tree: Battle Bond - Buffs the living daylights out of Dawg, and makes it more rewarding + easier to coordinate your movements with her. Pretend you're playing co-op in solo!

Red Tree: Destruction of Property - General damage, mostly in incendiary form. Rewards hard hitting weapons and attacks, maybe with a melee strike in there or two. A few kill skills for good measure.

Blue Tree: Larceny - Damage buffs and other benefits... dependent on picking up loot, eridium and cash. Gives a new meaning to the word "shloot". Additionally, a few "underhanded tactics" such as lowering vendor prices and increasing backpack space (to fuel a damage buff scaling off the fullness of your backpack). Think Timothy's Free Enterprise, but even weirder.

The Triad

Actually a trinity of Guardians inhabiting a nanobot swarm body, a corporate experiment at controlling these ancient constructs gone wrong. It tries its best to get along, and find itself in this strange world.

Key Words: Stances, Jack-of-All-Trades

Gimmick: In lieu of an action skill, the Triad switches between its three constituents - Supplicant (highly loyal to the Eridians, to the point of fanaticism), Seeker (neutral, but also the most sapient) and Sorcerer (Vault Monster cultist, corrupted by their influence eons ago) - in a way similar to stances in other games.

The switch itself does nothing, unless a certain skill is specced into that provides a short burst of beneficial effect when it occurs. However, a lot of the Triad's skills have different effects, elements or drawbacks depending on its current stance.

Action Skills: Spirit Switch - see above for details.

Skill Trees:

Green Tree: Supplicant - Focuses on team support, usually at the cost of damage. Can still reliably solo, however, thanks to having crowd control options.

Red Tree: Sorcerer - Focuses on pure damage, usually at the cost of survivability. Has elements of health management, as no price is too great for dark power.

Blue Tree: Seeker - Focuses on survivability and utility. Fairly scrappy, can manage ammo and identify enemy weaknesses.

Closing Words

I hope you all enjoyed this little creation of mine. I'm not... really sure what else to say here besides I love this series, and I love making things for it even more.

If you're curious what these Vault Hunters might look like, I drew all of them a while back.

Thank you for reading, and if you have any feedback regarding these concepts, or maybe your own fanmade Vault Hunters, feel free to comment.

how did u go abt naming characters if u dont mind me asking!! love asking this for ifs i think it’s interesting. esp w emilio and nia did u decide on their last name first or not?

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS QUESTION PREPARE FOR MAJOR YAP!!!!

SO. so. in general, i actually revamped a bunch of really old ocs and turned them into a newer version of themselves. i did this for Vera, Kiera, Cirrus, and Vio.

Vera's "original name" was Avianna...i just kind of screwed around with it until i landed on Vera. i like reworking old ocs instead of leaving them in the dust...so here we are! fun fact, Vera chose her name. it's her bounty hunting alias.

genuinely don't ask how i came up with the old names for Vio and Kiera...i was like maybe 11 or 12. i think i used google translate with a bunch of languages until i thought i found a cool name. Vio's was Hvezda (think it's Czech) and Kiera's was Folkier. the old characters were actually pretty similar to Vio and Kiera, looks-wise.

Cirrus is one that's a mystery to me because i CANT REMEMBER THEIR OLD VERSION'S NAME OH MY GOD it's actually pissing me off soooo bad. know it was something long winded and started with an o.... maybe had an x somewhere in there. they remained the same, more or less. he's always had a sky/cloud/ethereal being theme.

Charles? legit just stole his name from an abandoned OC named exactly that. except now he's a cunty elf with blonde hair.

um okay so onto Emilio and Nia. they're completely new characters, so i was starting from scratch with them. i wanted to start off with their ethnicities (if they were people in our world). the two of them would be Latinx and Indian. their first names don't really reflect this (except for Emilio's kinda). as for their last names...teehee.

Lovell aren't the twins' given last names. it'll be brought up really soon, by the twins, that the King and Queen of the North aren't their biological parents. this is also just well-known, but no one makes a huge deal out of it, since that's just a bizarre thing to do. and also rude. their parents basically told them to change their last names, since they're supposed to assimilate to the royal family and title. would also like to mention the King and Queen are white...make of this as you will.

my god!! jaye is yapperdoodling again!! thanks for this ask!

I think I should send her to 1850s Kalos. I think it'd be funny

(ignore the hands, I was totally going for a stained glass look. Totally. /j)

(A better look at my Pokemon IRL/ZA brainrot beneath the cut)

OKAY SO UH I have this idea for Gill (A Pokemon IRL oc) and I'm frothing at the mouth about it so I'm going to infodump here! Because I am both normal about this and Legends ZA

So I had the idea that at some point, Gill would just straight up disappear for a week. He'd get sucked into some kind of time-rift and end up in ye-olde Kalos. He'd freak out, obviously, but after a couple weeks he'd come to accept his life and start getting into things. He'd basically become an 'important side-character'. Living life, helping around the city, meeting new Pokemon (Like VULPIX. He'd get a VULPIX for REASONS.) He's been taking some Kalosian classes at Blueberry, so he's all set there. He just has to apply himself.

And the thing about this? She likes it there. She likes it a lot. She doesn't have to worry about school, about expectations, about living up to her sister or impressing her friends. She's living in Lumiose City! She's helping rebuild the place! She's considered a strong Trainer! She's meeting people and Pokemon and she knows without a shadow of a doubt they like her. Of course, she still bawls her eyes out every night- she misses Blueberry, she misses Paldea, she misses her friends and family- but...well, she wouldn't hate it if she had to stay here.

Then like four-five months pass. Maybe this is all before the actual plot of ZA happens, so I can do this way earlier lol. Gill's helping restore Lumiose, as usual, and she's having a great time. She's becoming a well-known face in certain areas, too- Monsieur or Mademoiselle Monet, the young Pokemon wielder. Most everyone likes her.

And then he wakes up.

He's transported back home, somehow. And here, only a week has passed.

He has a Stats test to take. His ranking in the League Club has fallen back down to rock bottom. One moment, he was helping rebuild this beautiful city. He was someone important, doing something meaningful with his life. And the next, he was back to square one. All of his work was finished for him, centuries ago now.

He has to live with the fact that all of the people he grew to know in those four months are dead. He never got to say goodbye.

People will question where he picked up saying 'morbleu'. People might point out the faintest hint of an accent. But he doesn't have the heart to tell them anything, so he'll just lie.

I just have this distinct image of Gill going to Lumiose for like a school trip and seeing a building that she lived in two hundred years ago, now turned into some laundry mat or cafe or whatever. Maybe there's a wild Ninetales running around there, presumably waiting for their owner. And maybe she's able to find a floorboard she remembers removing with a friend to store trinkets and cash in it, and finding all that stuff coated in dust. And then she'd start crying, and because people expect that kind of stuff from her- getting sentimental about things that aren't even hers and breaking into tears-, they don't really question it, outside of a pat on the shoulder.

UUUUh that's it!! That's what I was thinking of. I think it'd be a fun character study! A look into Gill and how he views expectations and what he wants to do.

Will I do this? I dunno. Maybe after we get more Kalos info. Or I can just say fuck it we ball and do whatever I want forever. Or until someone tells me it's a bad idea. I just think it's cool and I wanted to do some pixel art.

I have major Kalos brainrot can you tell

re: your post on cishet male fandom spaces, I definitely see that as well for all the other shonen manga series I follow. for one piece, all the discussions on reddit, twitter & youtube are basically just dudebros arguing about powerscaling, when the story is actually very character- and plot-driven. I've seen male animanga youtubers start out with content focused on plot or character analysis and then pivot to cater to that demand for very surface-level videos. I think a comparison can be made between (usually) cishet women who get into shows to have new characters to fit a shipping formula, and the large number of cishet men that get into an anime/manga to have new characters fit a battle/strength formula. (this is of course a generalization). but essentially, it's easy for people to get lost in an echo chamber of interpretation and trends in a fandom space, and in this case those men may see that other people like them only care about fights etc in the story and follow their example.

I tend to be really hesitant about watching BNHA youtube stuff, and especially video essays, for this reason.

I've seen male animanga youtubers start out with content focused on plot or character analysis and then pivot to cater to that demand for very surface-level videos.

It's tragic, this. Simply put, they go where they can get compensation for their work, if possible, because more views means more subs and more spread. Heck more Patreon followers and Ko-Fis. Meta writing isn't all that easy. It's pretty time-consuming and knowing how hard it is to edit videos, I'm sure the video format of what I do is even worse. (I've thought about dipping my toes into it but I'm just a little hesitant about how my voice sounds recorded these days)

I think the point about cishet women (and others into shipping) having their own version of this is fairly on the money too. Like I went down my favorite character's tag yesterday and barely saw anyone discussing stuff, just endless h**ks and their OCs, Y/N, and no one really discussing the minefield that is this week's chapter. In fact I think some of the arguments on this website has been when fans who honestly prefer engaging with the material like that stumble upon people like me, who want to dissect our favorite characters to molecules we can observe under microscopes, and aren't fans of the conclusions drawn and just don't really understand the process of what people who do fandom analysis do.

Nevertheless, it's really interesting that these spaces are so "gendered". Still hoping a gender studies or sociology major jumps into my ask box and blows me away with a study or two lol.

I'm back again!

DOMES! so- what can u tell me about the space and education domes. I'm so interested. Why are they separated based off of activity? Are all the domes in a giant ish dome? ALSO WHAT DO MARTIANS FARM. POTATOES? what kind of recreational activities are in the recreational dome?

Also what are the fatal flaws of your ocs... I love finding out about this stuff if u cant tell. Any funny (or otherwise) story that any of them would tell about another to like describe one of them? (that sounds very confusing but basically when I introduce folks that are my idiot friends, I give a memorable story that makes people go "ah, that's such a (friend name) thing" (e.g. One of my ex friends from school ate her essay out of spite - she wrote it on rice paper and wanted to spook the teacher)

And yes I've seen the whole "I think I'm attracted to you because youre the hottest person I know" so AMAZING JOB- I love ur ocs!!!

Respectfully curious,

a nerd who likes knowing lore and science (and character!!)

(I'M SO SORRY FOR HOW LONG THIS IS I'M JUST REALLY INTERESTED)

I'm gonna do the flaws first bcs it won't take as long so:

Martha: gets sad cuz she doesn't have a specific 'thing' like the rest of her friends (jenny's the tech guy, Evelyn's the animal guy) and she gets sad cuz she thinks you need a thing to work in and aspire to in order to live your life to the fullest

Tammy: doesn't think. Like at all ever. No internal dialogue nothing in that brain half the time she's just playing rock music on loop. Lights are on but no one's home except the lights aren't even on

Jenny: builds little robots and then gets existential about creating a pseudo life to fulfil one singular purpose. Continues to build little robots anyway.

Thomas: internal dialogue goes 100 miles a second and so when he has to take a second to actually think he just. Blanks. He also has awful memory due to things getting pushed so far back by unrelated tangents

Genji/James: has a mullet

Aled: catastrophises a LOT and overthinks literally everything he's just handing Thomas a hair bobble and he's like 'wait is this elasticy enough. Oh no there's a hair on it oh no. What if my hands sweaty what then-' baby girl it is a hair bobble

Georgie: previous break ups have left her feeling like she isn't interesting enough, now she has to always give her two cents or else she thinks she's forgettable

Dane: ~\_(°u°)_/~

Sahrah: given her uniqueness as a weird fucked up entirely new species she feels like her life has to be perfect so that her mother species doesn't get a bad rap, especially since her mother is the first of her kind to live in mars. Also she's really supposed to be a litter animal but she was the only one who survived to birth so she's lonely a lot of the time

Fun story: Martha says 'the first time me and Tammy met was when she needed someone to show a dead bee to. She asked me if I wanted to pet it'

And ... DOMES!;;

educational dome has the schools and colleges in it, a few corner stores for hungry students, it's not that interesting other than the fact that there are geese for some reason

Space dome is basically just space science stuff, it's got telescopes, research for crops, rockets, exploration base, it's also the original dome! The very first one built by the robots they sent here so that the researchers had somewhere to stay.

What kind of crops do martians grow? Well, any they can get there hands on, there are several small climate controlled domes used to grow different things, deserty, tropical, whatever Ireland is, and some animal domes that rotate various animals and grain, it's also home to the farm house that hosts the majority of Halloween parties. There's also the eden dome, which isn't connected to the farm fines, but to the space domes! It was home to the very first crops grown on mars. (Which, of course, included potatoes) and then if course. The big dome. The super massive one that uses my new favourite thing: AQUAPONICS!! obviously you can't feed an entire small country with just plain kabd, you need stacks! You need later upon layer of fish, water, wires, dirt, plants, synthetic sunlight, and more fish! They also synthesize a lot of meat because it's sci-fi. I can do what I want. And it's better for the air cuz farm animals produce a lot of gas

The recreational domes have shops, cinemas, various sports centres, a nice park, and also hosts lots of festivals. There's also a small 'market dome' that's connected to the residential dome so you don't have to go all that way to pick up some eggs or something. (Martha and Tammy's favourite thing to do is go roller skating at 'saturns rings' also there's a diner where the waiters are all in roller skates)

As to why they're separated, it makes it easier for me to design them in a cool way. Also the air inside is very different to the air outside, so smaller domes make it easier to manage, and keep out the sticky martian sand while building.

Martian sand is ridiculous

An Introduction to Our Plurality!

tl;dr: We're a plural system, and you may see more posts about it in the future. More details, as well as explanations as to what that means, below:

Introduction

I, or rather we, wanted to take some time and write a brief post about ourselves, our system, and what you can expect from us moving forward. We're a plural system consisting of (as of last count) 70+ members, though the vast majority of us prefer to just communicate internally, as opposed to interacting with the outside world in any way.

For those confused by some of these terms, this means that we identify as more than one person sharing the same brain and body. This can take place for a variety of reasons, and the experiences that systems have are very varied. For the purposes of this post, though, we feel it's less important to focus on the why's and how's for us specifically, and more important to focus on the very fact that we're here together, and have each other's backs.

We've been plural since as far back as I can remember, but only started to come to terms with that fact a little over a year ago. We've since been learning so much about each other and ourselves. And while we're still learning, we're at a point where we're ready to be open about it, and willing to talk about it with those who will listen.

A Little About Us

I, Gigakoops, am the host and the main one who's been posting on our social media accounts up to this point. The host of a system is essentially the main person who fronts (or interacts with the outside world) the most. As for the rest of us in our system, those who I refer to as headmates consist of a wide variety of folks of all ages, genders, origins, and even species. We all see ourselves differently in our mind's eye.

A lot of my headmates are fictives; they resemble fictional characters from a wide variety of media, though their characteristics, opinions, and values are very much their own. There are also my OCs, who sort of just appeared one day and have since been in charge of writing their own backstories (which we're hoping to share more of sometime!). Then there are a few of us who aren't fictives, and are just folks who happen to be hanging out with the rest of our colorful cast!

How This Works for Us

Things work differently for each plural system or group. The way it works for us specifically, is that while I spend 99% of the time in front, different headmates will chat with me and help with with thinking things through, or occasionally they will help complete a task by providing energy and ideas. They also provide comfort when we're sad or dealing with hardship. Occasionally, when we're alone or with people we trust and someone else wants to say or do something, my headmates will take over and talk and act on their own. For me personally it sort of feels like I'm watching it happen in first-person, while remaining in a more passive role. I'll sometimes internally comment on what they're doing or chat with them, but let them actually do whatever it is they're doing.

Not all systems work this way, and it wasn't always this way for us, either. In fact this is something we had to work on, and have been working on even more ever since we came to the realization that we're plural. Now our communication is really good, and while we still have things to work out in terms of mental health, we're able to tackle these things together as a system.

I am very thankful for my headmates, and to be honest they've helped me with so much that it'd be impossible to list it all down. And I'm glad to be there for them as well, I enjoy being able to chat with them at any point, and it's always fun seeing how they react to the world around us. We all look out for one another, and it's been wonderful discovering more about ourselves!

What You Can Expect From Now On

As for who will be posting on here, for the time being expect it to still be me, Gigakoops, a lot of the time, though a small number of my headmates may decide they want to use our main from time to time. As for what this means for our output, this most likely won't affect too much in the immediate future, but we may start posting and reblogging positive posts about plurality.

We also plan on posting introductions from those of us who are interested in posting here, as well as posting more individually as time goes on. We set up a private account in the past, but we didn't enjoy sticking mostly to plural-centric circles. Whereas if we have a space where we can just talk about what interests us, we may collectively have a better time with it.

And my headmates do have a lot of things that interest them. Some of them are really into technology and video games, while another is interested in reading, research, and shares my interest in rhythm games. Some would likely post silly shitposts, others would post about social justice issues that affect them and/or others they know. Hell, the majority of us would absolutely do both.

We've also been working on a comic about my OC (and fellow headmate), Paula, who is also the host of her own plural system. It's still a long ways out, but I'm hoping to use it as a springboard to get into the nitty-gritty of how this all works (for us, anyways), as well as a topic that's been important to us: plural representation in media as a whole.

Feel Free to Send Asks!

If you want to know more surface-level stuff about us, feel free to send us an ask! Just remember to be respectful, and leave any ableist/bigoted takes at the door. We also support systems of all origins, so keep that in mind as well. We're also not willing to answer personal life-story-related asks, but we can answer any other curiosities you may have.

Take care, and see y'all on the flip side!

*insert drumroll here*

it's time for:

ducki talks about OCs!!

disclaimer: these are based completely off of memory bc my ocs are always stuck in my head, so i might have to update this "masterlist" every now and then

‼️‼️ i also discuss major spoilers for "Stardusters: Children of the Celestials" aka SCOTC if anyone has been reading that 💀

all of my ocs are contained in the same universe (literally) but a decent chunk of them are on seperate planets with different dynamics, etc. and yes of course you can ask questions, please do, i want to flesh out some more of my ocs

here are their respective groups that each of them are in (none of which have names except for group 2). this does NOT mean that their stories will collide or theyre aware of their existence, it's just where theyre located

as for art, i have rendered art of them on my Instagram (i still want this blog to be strictly sketches and writing shit im ngl)

Group 1: MZ, Vivinae, Claire, Luith Family (Lisa [formerly Lisa Dianthus], Symon, Sinamon, Sinabon)

Group 2 (Stardusters): Sevi Methuselah, Reese Ara, Sneden Newt, Cassiopeia (aka The Ghost), Methuselah, Gliese (DISCLAIMER: these are my Starduster ocs, minus Gliese, which means they aren't mortal in a sense — I'll explain later — but they don't actually have a planet)

Group 3: Mocha, Cupid, Bun (very minor, but i like how homey and slice of life this one is)

i do have more ocs than this (a lot more), but they're kinda irrelevant to my current interests. i also have fandom ocs bc i was really bored lmfao

if u wanna hear abt the fandom ocs, feel free to ask (*´ω｀*)

and i have some really brief lore abt my sona that i'll tack on the end of everything here!

GROUP 1:

Let's start with the wholesome side of this group - The Luith Family!

On this planet, there are vampires and humans. Vampires here are a subspecies of humans that use blood (any blood) to help enhance their senses. In the modern times, vampires consume blood like coffee or as a sign of affection. When consuming blood as a sign of affection, it's reserved for family or lovers (humans and vampires alike)

For family, both the mother and father provide blood to younger vampires (for nutrition) or shared between siblings. This is usually shared through the hands and arms.

For lovers, the sharing location varies. The neck is a popular choice.

When consuming blood for other purposes, they use non-human/non-vampire blood.

Vampires have secluded themselves away from humans after the first vampires killed a whole village under a state of bloodlust, and over time have formed their own cultures. They mirror human culture in a way, but sometime during the 1500s, they started banning human made books, finally and truly secluding themselves from humans. Yes, I did in fact let them have a lifespan of ~500 years. Also, they were a part of the Salem Witch Trials, when some younger vampires had decided to try and sneak out to explore the reason why they couldn't interact with humans.

Onto the characters themselves, the Luith family is a noble family that appeared in the years 1600-1700. They were tasked with noting the history of vampires. They had a family working under them — the Dianthus family — and they tasked them to go and collect as much information as they could before handing it over.

This relationship was strictly business, but Symon (15 at the time, born in 1859) — the Luith's youngest — spotted Lisa Dianthus (16 at the time, born 1858) reading one of the books from their library. It was an old human book about flowers, which she shouldn't have had, so Symon decided to talk to her. Lisa really likes flowers and stuff, so she ended up yapping for a while. They had these little hangouts like every week and they became friends, then obv they fell in love a couple years later and Symon asked to marry her. They got married during the spring of 1878 and moved to the US in 1900s. Then they had the twins, Sinamon and Sinabon in winter of 2003. Also, this story takes place in 2021 bc that's when i had made these ocs lmfaoo

Anyways, because Lisa really likes flowers, she made a perfume company and so the family is like rich rich now. (The kids' names are based off the scent of Lisa's favorite flower — night-scented stock) Symon now works as a librarian, and they have a private library that has books from the 1700s at their home. The twins were homeschooled and were taught a decently accurate history of vampires and humans alike.

This story is meant to be slice of life, so there's not too much mentions of the darker aspects of the world regarding vampires. The twins are the main characters in this story, so we get to see them grapple with romance (they're both in relationships). Sinamon, she's the more proactive and social twin, pretty into fashion and design. She drags Sinabon out of the house. Sinabon, he's the goofy ahh streamer (his user is c1nnabonni) and he's got a pet frog named Steven. Sinabon also likes collecting plushies and figurines.

Also, Symon and Lisa do this thing every now and then where Lisa picks out Symon's favorite books, and Symon makes Lisa a cup of coffee with some of his blood. They do this without the other asking and on seemingly random times, but it's always at an exact time of the day.

Onto the other characters of this group: MZ, Vivinae, and Claire (will mention their AU here, but no spoilers if u were reading it lol)

These characters are unaware of vampires and their story takes place much later than the Luith's story. Lisa and Symon are close to death, and the twins are running the business now, with much better tech. Ages for each are as follows — MZ- 23, Vivinae- 22, Claire- 35. The main character of this story is MZ.

Here's her backstory ✨summarized✨

She gets lost in Chicago (random ass location i chose) at the age of 6 bc her family went there for vacation. She's gradually forgotten her actual name, only remembering her first and middle name initial (real name is Margaret Zenith Baxter). MZ survived off of stealing and running away from people. However, as she got older, she decided to start trying to find a way to get money. After a brief incident where she almost got kidnapped, she killed the captor and realized she kinda liked killing people. Then she thought, "oh wow i could do this for a lot of money!" Then she made a bunny mask for herself to hide her face. One day, when she had finished one of her first jobs, she got pretty injured and passed out in a quiet street. Coincidentally, it was outside Claire's Shop. Claire is an ex-paramedic who retired to sell random vintage items she's collected. As MZ was going in and out of consciousness, she asked Claire to NOT take her to the hospital (because she literally just killed some dude for money). Claire was hesitant to listen, but MZ would keep refusing help if Claire insisted to go to the hospital. MZ gets all patched up, mask still on bc she's attached to it and still doesn't trust Claire, and she leaves. After many "jobs" MZ keeps coming back to Claire to get patched up and they start a medic-murderer relationship. Claire is practically a mother to MZ atp.

As for meeting Vivinae, they met at a coffee shop. Vivinae is a decently popular model, so with some quick research, MZ found out who she was. MZ does choose to ignore the modeling thing as they both got things to hide. They're a really awkward couple when they figure out they like each other. (They haven't even kissed yet lolol) MZ's really hesitant to even hold Vivinae's hand.

For the AU, both of them are murderers for hire and both of them are also models! They don't know the other is their partner for modeling bc they only know each other as their code names. MZ → Bunny. Vivinae → Rabbit. If you've read my "shitty" crossover fic, then you might've noticed that Vivinae is the sniper and MZ is the close-range fighter. Vivinae sucks ass at fighting close range, so MZ does her best to prevent anyone from getting close and to finding her hiding spot.

Oki back to canon: MZ will die. Specifically in her mid-40s. She is the one to die bc the nature of her job. This couple never gets past simple dates, hesitant hand holding, and very passive "i love you"s. MZ dies while she's running from cops after killing a high-ranking official for $1 million. Of course she took it and completed the job, but now she's running and oh- she got shot and died. Cornered and no where to go, MZ decides to just die than find herself arrested and she chose to die in the action than to die by falling off the building — something she deemed anticlimactic when she first became a hitman. This is all over the news, and Vivinae recognizes MZ's face plastered all over the news and breaks at the sight of her lover's death being talked about. Claire remains in the obscurities of the city, never once announcing her association with MZ. She only goes to her grave years later when everything is eventually brushed over. MZ's biological parents and family never claim to know her — distant as they had been when MZ got lost all those years ago.

Group 2:

The Stardusters, one space-faring human, and Methuselah. There's a lot to unpack here. Again, warning for major spoilers, as in VERY MAJOR for SCOTC (Stardusters: Children of the Celestials). You have been warned ‼️

and also there's LOT of world building for this one. very heavy in content. But there is a section where there are no spoilers, just some design notes about the characters in this group :3

Last warning, just scroll to group 3 (just past the image, and just before if you're looking for the no spoiler section) if you don't wanna look 👀

still here? cool (*´ω｀*)

Alright. Where to begin... Let's start off with world building. There's a hierarchy, but they're actually just slightly different iterations of each other.

Planck: it's the creator of the universe, but no one is aware of it, not even the Upper Council. It doesn't have a form. (More explanation below in Timeline of the Universe)

Mother Stars (divided into Upper and Counter Council): Creators of the Stardusters and the Upper Council are the oldest stars, the ones who are carrying out a mission.

Stardusters: Direct creations of the Mother Stars. They were actively made and there's 1 Starduster per Mother Star.

Rogues: Remnants of long dead stars. The last stardust and evidence for a Mother Star. They have no recollection of being from a Mother Star and most are in blissful ignorance that they are from the stars.

Each Starduster has been assigned a "mission" by their Mother Star. It's a vague thing that the Stardusters have to interpret on their own. Rogues do not have these as they have no memories of their Mother Star.

Moving onto the characters themselves, they all have their motives, which is intertwined with their "mission". This arbitrary mission serves no purpose other than to get the Stardusters to explore and collect the differences of the universe compared to previous iterations. I will not discuss the motives for each Starduster bc spoilers ! Also, this post just covers the worldbuilding rather than characters.

Stardusters can shapeshift into various forms — eldritch beings, humans, animals, anything that is alive. Why? Because I said so and I didn't think things through‼️ Because I took the logic that light can be pretty different colors and star radiation has stuff we can't see and said "good reason to shapeshift and im too lazy to think too hard about it so I'll leave it at that". Anyways, this means that Stardusters literally do not have genders and in turn, Mother Stars do not either.

Sevi, Reese, Sneden, and Cassiopeia are the main Stardusters we are looking at. Cassiopeia is the only Rogue here btw.

Reese is the only Starduster that is "partnering" with a space-faring mortal human named Gliese. Reese can freely shapeshift into anything, and I even drew his human female form some time ago. I'll post the sketch I did recently shortly after this :3

Gliese. Oh how I need to talk about her here. She doesn't care about Reese as a person. She knows he isn't human, and the only thing she feels towards him, is curiousity. At her core, Gliese is a researcher, a morally gray one at that. She never bothers to get to know Reese on even an acquaintance level, she just uses him for research. Carefully handling Reese's Stellar Heart — seeing him bare his literal lifeline to her, just for her research. She just doesn't care about him in that way. Her research is all that matters to her.

Sneden and Cassiopeia. Those two are working together. Cassiopeia is the leading force btwn the 2 of them and is getting Sneden to work with them. Only Sneden can freely shapeshift. Rogues, like Cassiopeia have a permanent form once they choose one.

Sevi is a soloist. She does things on her own. She has become apathetic due to being the oldest Starduster, but does retain a childlike personality (she has taken the form of a female child).

TIMELINE OF THE UNIVERSE (Yes i pulled the names off of wikipedia, yes it's because i like space LEAVE ME ALONE😭😭):

Planck Epoch: Previous Reincarnation of "M" (using the alias Planck) finishes gathering materials for the Mother Stars, trying to get the basis for their old memories

Dark Ages: Previous Reincarnation of "M" provides the basis for chaos and disorder, preparing for the return of other celestial objects

Recombination Epoch: Previous Reincarnation of "M" re-combines the Mother Stars' basic features

Reionization: Methuselah regains its original form (around the same time Mother Star Council is formed)

Mother Star Council: Earliest stars form, creating nebulae and Reincarnation of Methuselah restores their memories, minus current Methuselah's because it can't know about reincarnations yet.

Dark Matter Expansion: Mother Stars create Stardusters to collect information about the Universe. All the while, expanding their reach using dark matter.

Stelliferous Era/Age of the Stardusters: More Stardusters are created, however, the eldest Mother Stars form a separate faction (Upper Council) from the younger generation to carry out the destruction of the universe, to repeat the cycle that they remembered from their previous memories. Dark matter is used to keep expanding the universe.

Ultimate Fate: this will be a secret for now

There are some people that end up worshiping the Stardusters because some of them (because there's like billions of them) use their powers for their own gain because what else can they do? There are various cults, so many cults that surround a single Starduster on various planets. Now remember there are billions of Stardusters. Cults for everyone!

Also have brief explanation for Celestial Weapons and Stellar Hearts:

Stellar Hearts: Cracked yellow-white orb (See my Insta for a drawing of it and everything else). Very hot, like a star's core, so in Gliese's case, she wears very heavy duty gloves made specifically for handling Reese's Heart. Placed within a Starduster in a ♦ shape on their chest. Stardusters say it's a tattoo if anyone asks. This allows them to freely change forms and literally keeps them alive.

Celestial Weapons: All a Starduster or Rogue needs to do to summon their Celestial Weapon, is to place a hand over their chest, let their hand sink into the fake tattoo and take the largest shard of their Heart out. Weapons range from scythes to machine guns.

Wait!! Before you move onto the next group, I really, really want to mention how and why I named the Stardusters the way I did.

Sevi Methuselah: Sevi - I put random syllables together. Methuselah - Her Mother Star's name and the name of the oldest known star.

Reese Ara: Reese's Star. His Mother Star, aka the actual star is literally called Reese's Star. BUT I CAN'T FIND THE HECKING STAR ANYMORE LIKE DID I HALLUCINATE THIS??? But I can't change his name anymore, I'm attached. Ara- It's the constellation that his star is supposedly from. Since the star doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Sneden Newt: Sneden- similar to Reese, the star is called Sneden's Star. Newt- I picked something random/ I can't remember why I chose this 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Cassiopeia, The Ghost: Literally based off the Ghost of Cassiopeia, located in the constellation Cassiopeia the Queen. I really have to mention that their design is based off of this specific image of the Ghost of Cassiopeia:

i just had to mention that, alright onto the next group!!

Group 3:

Mocha, Cupid, Bun. These are my most neglected ocs, i will admit that. No MC here, just episodic slice-of-life.

Cupid and Bun are gods. Bun is still a god in-training who snuck out during orientation, and Cupid is uh... Cupid. Cupid pretends to be a human office worker, subtly setting people up that she knows are genuinely in love with each other.

Because Cupid is the god of love, ofc she's gonna know/sense when people have genuine feelings for each other. Her human persona also likes archery and she plays the lyre. I did give her 2 other alternate names: Eros and Phanes.

Bun is a random ass god who hasn't been assigned anything yet. They went to the mortal realm bc they were sick and tired of sitting in orientation. So they're just fucking around and exploring the world to their heart's content! Bun has had multiple close encounters with Cupid, but Cupid just let's Bun do as they wish bc she doesn't want to deal with paperwork where she actually has to think.

Mocha is just a random guy im ngl. I just put him in this group bc I liked his design. He helped Bun pick out some mortal clothes to match with the times and made them some clothes as well.

Thanks for listening to me yap about my ocs!!! As promised, here's some of my sona's lore in a story-ish format:

I kinda found this... thing. It said it was a hat. It was out on the street, looked kinda pathetic. It looked pathetic but cute at the same time. It matched the color of my outfit that day, so I wore it. It fit perfectly, like I'm not joking, it was comfortable.

I didn't take it off, (I don't think I can take it off anymore) and now I have 365 sets of my outfit from that day. To match with the hat of course.

TY FOR LISTENING!! HAVE A NICE DAY GUYS GO DRINK WATER!!

Since we're closing in on the end of the current book pretty soon, any thoughts about what direction FEH might go next? Or even thoughts on this book overall now that we're nearly completing it?

OHH..... when it comes to FEH's plotlines I am very much just along for the ride LMFAO. I know a lot of it is based in mythology (or at very least is inspired by it!), so I bet you Could piece together Something. Or even if you keep track of the teasers (BUT ALSO. THEY HAVEN'T EVEN DONE ANYTHING YET....... with that one teaser where Lif, Triandra and Plumeria are joining forces, the girls' objective to revive Freyja... I think Loki was there too? It's been a while!) (Actually. Now that I think about it. Where even DID that teaser go. Both Lif's and the fairies TT stories are fairly separate from each other. 🤔)

I do always get a little anxious near the end of a Book LMFAO, to the point where I don't look at it for a while (I think I'm one chapter behind rn). It's like... I generally don't have a lot of faith in the writers bc while they CAN hit really well, sometimes. They miss SO hard. And then there is So Much happening at the climax.... I'm so worried about how everything is gonna be tied up and resolved..... how are they gonna pull it all together? CAN they???? So scared.....

I've def said it before but I do think being a long time Sonic fan has primed me for this sort of thing LMFAO, even broadly across the franchise. Always approaching stories in good faith, always down to have fun even if it's absurd or corny or Odd Decisions Were Made or they had a REALLY GOOD CONCEPT but they dropped the ball somewhere along the way. I DEEEF approach FEH stories this way. And sometimes you are really pleasantly surprised!!!!

I think that's the relationship I ended up having with Book 7!! It can be tough for me when Yoshiku is the artist on board, since I am really not a fan of their work (sorry...). But I absolutely loved the designs of the FEH ocs this Book. Major test of faith was the "Please have a child with me" moment LMFAOOO NEARLY IRRECOVERABLE if I wasn't naturally inclined to Get Silly about it (What Is The Funniest Direction I Can Take With This In My Mind LMFAO).

BUT ALSO.... I JUST? Ended up REALLY loving Seidr as a character. I'm ABSOLUTELY in love with how each self of her's, while some bare a resemblance, none of them look like copies of each other (just sized up or down). Like even beyond my personal pet peeve of that, being trans/having A Lot of different looks in dif periods of my life. I ESPP appreciate the fact that Gullveig looks SO different from Seidr, esp as a trans person actually... cause even if you aren't trans, sometimes a new personal development will occur within you, maybe good, maybe bad, and it changes you. Which may also change how you present yourself! ALSO, the fact that Heidr had a completely different hairstyle, a slightly different body type (actually. Looking at her art I think I just hallucinated that LMFAOO but in my mind's eye I like to imagine Seidr's body shape changes/puts on more weight over time 🫡). Like they look similar enough that, yeah, they're sisters! But to me, Different Enough that the plot twist with Heidr ABSOLUTELY got me. I did NOT fucking see that coming and it absolutely shook me up 😨 (BUT ALSO. MAYBE IT WAS OBVIOUS. I DON'T KNOW ACTUALLY. BECAUSE I CAN BE SUUUCH A GULLIBLE AUDIENCE MEMBER TOO LMFAOOOO)

LIKE. I did NOT make the connection that Lif was Alfonse until like halfway into the fuckinh plot like RIGHT before it was revealed. LIKE. I am SO TRUSTING and SO HEAD EMPTY sometimes for fucking real I thought "Oh...! He Does kind of look like Alfonse... that's really cute, considering he's his ancestor and all! :)" HSKSHKSHSJ........ my man........ 🧍

At very least. I knew from the start that Bruno was Zacharias. At very fucking least I had that going for me 🫡

#ask answered!#sorry this took a bit to get to lmfao!!! i got. a liiitle tired 😅 (BUT STILL having fun!!!)#i love talking about The Interests...... 👁️👁️#thanks for waiting on me!!!#feh spoilers #<- just in case lmfao?#fire emblem #feh #seidr #yeah i'll tag her!!!

To give a serious response to your last reblog, I think most people (maybe not the VOCAL majority) like to exclude tags they don't want to see, and then if something is tagged incorrectly you do just scroll past or stop reading the fic when something comes up. I know there are people who complain about it like it's the end of the world but yeah it is a common thing among most of my internet people to be like "aw man I didn't know [thing] was gonna be in this fic, I guess I'm gonna go read something else now" and I don't really see any problem with that. (As long as they aren't like harassing the author about it or anything obviously, which again I'm sure some people do and that's not cool)

Fair warning, this was supposed to be a quick response and it turned into a long ass ramble about purity culture and anti behavior, sorry about that. It is a long post so feel free to just skip to the TL:DR.

I agree with you, and as I mentioned I really really like the tagging system and the culture of putting content warnings and trigger warnings over content to help people avoid what they dislike and/or actively harms them. I like it in general, not just on AO3.

For what concerns AO3 I know that most people don't cause any kind of issue about it. I too had a situation where an anonymous guest commented to ask me to tag something in my fic. I hadn't thought about it because it was kind of just a vague mention but to them it seemed to be a big deal, so I apologized and added the tag (and they were really nice and polite about it anyway) and that was it. I don't mind people asking me to tag stuff. As an author I'm not omniscient and I don't have a team or even just an advisor to give a second opinion on my stuff, and tell me what I might have missed in the tags. So by all means do say it if you prefer this or that tag being added to my stories. I might have come off as someone who has issues with the tagging system and the culture around it, and I understand that it might be the case since my reblog was worded a bit harshly. I am sorry about that.

What I really was complaining about is people adopting anti or anti-ish behavior around fanfictions and fanfiction writers, acting like the fact that they come across content they dislike is the poster's fault when they're unable to curate their own online experience, and/or take responsibility as grown adults over the possibility of coming across something they dislike. At the same time holding fanfiction writers to absurd standards when it comes to laying out what their fics contain before someone engages with it, while it would be considered absurd to demand something like this from a novel, a movie, a videogame or anything non-transformative really. And not only there's the exclusion system on AO3 that helps people filter content they don't like, but also I want to highlight the fact that someone who is writing a fanfiction does not owe anyone anything in terms of tagging their stories. Tagging by itself is a form of courtesy that is not mandatory for most kind of content except the so called Archive Warnings, and even then you can avoid tagging anything by simply using "Creator chose not to use warnings" - which I'm sure you know means "this story contains potentially upsetting themes, proceed at your own risk". Most people will just politely ask to add tags, and most people will just tag their stories anyway. I very rarely ever came across a fic which was severely untagged to the point of making me wonder if the OP actually knew tags existed, and how they worked in the first place. I think it happened maybe twice and I've been reading fanfictions since AO3 didn't even exist. But there also are people who will harass the author if they didn't tag their fic "properly", and by properly it often times means that a character mentioned something the reader dislikes, or maybe a character they hate makes a very brief appearance, or there is a random OC created for a specific situation. Or anything that doesn't suit their tastes really, and that they demanded was laid out in front of them so they could avoid the gigantic effort of clicking on a story, read the first chapter and deciding by themselves if they liked it or not. These people are the ones who act like fanfiction writers and content in general should cater explicitly to them. Just check the comments of that post, you'll see an array of folks complaining that "authors do this on purpose!" and that who doesn't tag their fic properly is a terrible person.

There's this one saying that it's "so frustrating" and "really inconsiderate" on the author's part, referring to a fanfiction which has one of the characters genderswapped. Now I really, really dislike genderswap (nothing against it or against who likes it, but it really is not my cup of tea both in fics and in fanarts) and I generally stay away from it. But realistically, how long is it going to take me to realize that a fic has been written with one or more genderswapped characters? A couple of sentences? Maybe an entire paragraph? How "frustrating" is it gonna be to spend something like 3 minutes figuring that this story is not for me, and move on with my life?

It's not frustrating, and it's not inconsiderate on anyone's part. Sure I too would prefer it to be tagged, but it's a Me problem if I can't accept that I might end up seeing something I dislike on the internet, and it's not not a random fanfic author's responsibility to make sure I don't encounter something that makes me turn up my nose.

There is in general a lot of pressure on fanfic authors, in some fandoms more than others, and the whole "you have to absolutely nail the tags" conversation is another layer of said pressure. I know people that won't post longfics because they're unsure about the tags, especially of the fact that tags might change over time, and end up not posting at all. People deleting their entire fics over these kinds of demands because they can't meet them, because they don't know how their fic is going to change from here to the 15th chapter. People having to disable or moderate comments, take hiatuses, abandon fics - sure maybe the comment insinuating they were a bad person for not tagging "there's a random policeman OC in your detective AU" is not the main reason why they abandoned the fic, but it surely did not help.

This also leads to another phenomenon, which is that of over-tagging. Of people tagging rape/noncon "just to be safe", or tagging underage because "this character is 18 but there still is a big age gap", and the likes. That's not how tags work, that's actually how the tagging system gets bloated and becomes useless, because after the 4th fic which is tagged Rape and the rape doesn't happen, what often occurs is that the reader finds another fic tagged Rape and doesn't take it seriously. But in that one case the rape does happen and they get triggered, and it's an awful experience both for the reader and for the writer in case they get harassed over it (and this specific instance happened to me personally, because apparently the Rape warning on my story wasn't enough since the rape actually happened).

It's part of the reason why the Dead Dove: Do Not Eat tag exists and got so popular. If your story has some background/minor/past/mentioned/implied/referenced Thing happening, and you tag it as a Major Thing that happens, people who write stories which actually have Thing as a major topic don't know what to do, and end up using the Dead Dove tag which per se doesn't mean anything, it's just a way to say "MIND THE DAMN TAGS AND DON'T COME AT ME!". No one should feel forced to use the Dead Dove tag by the way. The Archive Warnings and the tagging system in general exist for a reason. If you're reading this and you've been harassed, just block the fuckers and ignore them.

So anyway, while I tend to be really irked by over-taggers especially when I'm looking for a specific kink, I don't really blame them. Purity culture kills artistic expression by making artists afraid of harassment if they post their work, among other things. I prefer an over-tagged fanfiction (or an under-tagged one) over no fanfiction at all.

TL;DR - I agree with you anon, I'm just mad at people who harass authors over tags. I don't think there's anything wrong with politely asking someone to tag their fanfiction, and if they repeatedly don't do it over major stuff that needs to be tagged, just block them and/or report them to the AO3 TOS.

#this is all purity culture's fault btw #tags have always been a courtesy and are not by any means mandatory (except Archive Warnings but even then there's the orange one)#people who cannot handle this are not able to handle fanfictions in general #I'm sorry but if you feel so upset if you find a tiny thing that you don't like in a fanfiction that is YOUR problem not the author's #you're free and capable of clicking away from that fanfiction no one is stopping you #and if you end up harassing the author instead of clicking away or politely ask to add a tag you're a fucking asshole #ramblings #my asks #fandom things #long post

the major problem about fanfictions are that people read anything and everything if they are stories about their favorite characters. they might have their nose up in the air when it comes to actual books but they'd pick up the same kind of erroneous fanfiction in a heartbeat.

a reason for that might be that most readers or writers don't consider fanfictions as actual pieces of literature. they think it's something for them to pass time with and therefore, low quality doesn't matter. they forget that actual fanfictions are something even harder to produce than original novels because you have to be mindful since they aren't your OCs.

so here are some of useless apoce's (very aggressive, haha, i'm short-tempered) opinions about where fanfiction writers are going wrong.

changing character personalities- now this is something i'm frankly very annoyed about because changing personalities is unacceptable (unless you are doing AUs).

why the fuck would i click on a fanfiction about soukoku only to find that dazai is some expressionless bastard who doesn't even have is signature comic relief attitude and chuuya is a shivering, feminized version of the actual spirited, passionate and loud mafioso?

seriously, i really don't care if this hits too close to home for some people, because you can always go write an actual novel with your own OCs if you can't maintain the original characteristics of people you are writing the fanfiction on. i didn't come to read about some strangers with the same name as characters who i love and whom their original authors worked painstakingly to produce.

sheesh, imagine your own OCs being changed drastically for the sake of someone else's plot? personally, i wouldn't have forgiven them. trust me, even readers appreciate it more when you stick to their actual characteristics.

covers (not meant for ao3 writers)- wow, simply wow. i never realized i was this pissed over fanfiction writers when it came to the covers they use.

listen, if you have forgotten, let me remind you again, COVERS ARE ALSO A BASIC PART OF STORIES, especially if they are e-books. how do you expect me to get invested when i see a poorly cropped image from pinterest that has no link whatsoever to the characters you are writing about or the story line?

of course there are authors who create some absolutely godly edits for their fanfictions (gimme tips master), but the others can't even choose a proper font/color that will at least be clearly visible.

oh, and don't even get me started on the fact that a baji x reader fanfiction might have a cover starring vanitas— no, hold on, like why? what does that even mean?????? seriously people, if you want tips on making covers, why don't you check my other post?

the english- it's okay, i understand that your first language isn't english sweetie, still doesn't give you the right to type, 'howl walked to calcifer sticks his hand over and moans "AAAAAAAAA I'M DYING I'M DYING!!!!!!!!'"

first of all what did that even mean? and how do you moan a scream? and lastly, don't grammarly ads ever make you wanna pull your hair out? do you not know of it's existence? do you think you can get away with a disclaimer that you don't know english? well newsflash, grammarly can help.

(p.s. no don't even think of asking me about that cursed howl x calcifer fanfiction)

the blurb/synopsis- there is not much i can say about this because most people can nail it, but the others... could you at least pretend to treat your fanfiction as an actual story, posted online to be read by the whole world?

do you think it's funny to say it's a fic about kuroo x kenma and then turn it into a bokuto x akaashi just because the latter ship were introduced as best friends of kuroken and you suddenly decided you like bokuaka more than kuroken halfway into the story?

certain AUs- matchablossom is a married couple/ enemies to lovers ship. i agree. does that mean joe has to lowkey abuse cherry? i thought it was an enemies to lovers and not a toxic story about a over possessive dickhead and his lover with a stockholm syndrome?

likewise, the dom/sub stories and many more, why are they so toxic? just because he is a dom doesn't mean he gotta be openly manipulative and lowkey sociopathic? if that's what your tastes are, i am indeed quite concerned about your choices.

last but not the least, being grateful- hello? readers are your lifeline, who tf are you being so rude to? and why for? do you think you are so much better that you cannot accept criticisms or a loophole kindly pointed out by one of your audience? last time i checked, you were the summer child who said, 'this is my first time writing online, please take care of me'.

in conclusion, please, for heaven's sake, consider your fanfiction as an actual novel and try to match the bars set for them. just because you get loads of reads and kudos doesn't mean you can get away with whatever crap you sprout. oh and by the way, if i have offended someone, um haha, wasn't it your own fault?

that's it for the post, hope most people will agree and not come after me with pitchforks :)

Questions about OCs and stuff

You can find the original file here! I reblogged it super late at night.

Gonna fill this one out myself, because it looked fun!

OC questions:

* Who was your first ever OC? Do you still “use” them? How have they evolved over time?

Oreana was my first ever OC, and yes I do! She evolved from me wanting to write myself in with my favorite fixations to becoming her own actual character.

I could tell as a character she wanted to have the princess title removed, but I refused since I wanted that to be another obstacle for her. XD

2. Who is your newest OC? Why did you make them?

Asther Thyme, my goat OC was one I bought on toyhouse, but newest one made by me is Demiurge turned into a jackal.

I bought the goat because I am trying to rethink about this old idea of mine I wrote years ago as a kid that had more furries in it than humans. Demiurge turning into a jackal was just originally for fun but he stayed after awhile.

3. Biggest self-insert OC?

Oreana. XD; While she's come a long ass way since then, I still feel the parts of me that are in her.

4.What kind of music do your OCs listen to?

There's too many to list. Oreana just likes anything with a good beat, and Ignatius and Demiurge prefer instrumental.

5. What are some of your OCs biggest fears?

Oreana: being used again Ignatius: enduring loss again Demiurge: the loss of himself

Demona: never returning home

Cheshire: Demiurge ever getting his Creator's love when he feels he doesn't deserve it.

6. Do you have any OCs without stories? Will you ever create one for them?

Yuna, Asther, Elasha, and Haruka. Their Toyhouse bios aren't even filled in yet, because I don't know what to do. XD;

And yes, they will! I just have to get my ideas all together first.

7. What are your favourite relationships between your OCs? (romantic or platonic!)

Romantic, mainly because of the lack of love in my life. XD;

8. Do you have any OC family trees?

Oreana does have parents and 2 brothers—as well as an ancestor I can't get into because that's spoilery, and Ignatius has a twin brother.

9. Favourite OC?

It bounces from Oreana, Ignatius, to Demiurge.

10. OC you most struggled to make?

Ignatius. In fact, he went through a redesign about a year—er two years—ago. He originally was just going to look very much like a guy from YYH I loved but a naga, till I decided to make him more like an amalgamation of characters and ideas I loved. Doing that was so much so for the better. As I don't have to feel fixated on the one canon character to be fixated on him.

Fanfic questions:

11. * Sum up one or more of your wips!

Werewolf professor in a fantasy styled Victorian London looks to try and quell the fear over the werewolf curse. It's a commission so I can't really plop too much of it down.

12. Which story took the most research?

Anything from Assassin's Creed. Especially the Victorian London ones regarding brothels, tuberculosis, opium dens, and factories.

Don't get me started on the sex stuff... since that was considered 'prudish', it feels nearly lost to time.

13. Which story has the most lore?

Uuuh... A Love Most Profound and or The Demon King of the Desert, depending what you mean. Both spoke of their beliefs and even had rough outlines of their worlds.

14. Current word count of all your main wips?

I don't think I have any active yet since I'm on vacation.

15. How many projects do you have going on right now? Are there any that you doubt you’ll ever finish?

I have my private journal

A private personal story

In Another Life, We Could Have Been Lovers

Amnesia: A Dreamer's Requiem

An Empty Heart Full of Memories

The Devil After Midnight

The Devil's Tome

Within the Dream Temptation

The Princess and the Dove

I am not sure. I would like to get through all of these, but it's doubtful.

16. What was you first major project? How far along is it?

I guess The Devil's Contract would be considered that. And it's done now at 50 chapters. I was quite happy to have it finished.

17. What are some tropes and character dynamics found in your wips?

Slow burn, soulmates, and just romantic stuff.

18. Describe the setting of one or more of your wips

Horror fantasy of who is doing what and what is happening under the OC's nose, Victorian werewolf fantasy, and murder fantasy with a bit of reincarnation? I guess we'll say.

19. What are some things that inspired your stories? Real events? Maybe a dream?

Dreams more than anything, and if not those, anything I play or watch. Even The Demon King had elements of LOZ in it.

20. What story are you the proudest of? Why?

The Demon King of the Desert. It helped me come to terms with a bit more online trauma, and it seemed to touch a few folks. So I'm happy with it.

About me questions:

21. * When did you start considering yourself a writer/artist?

Artist, I always felt I was one. In fact, I was quite upset when I got online and people preferred my writing over my art. XD But I came to terms with it after awhile. Heck, I realize when I blend the two, people enjoy both.

Writing started to happen the more I wrote stories on websites, and folks came to love them or use them as a means to shoulder through a tough time in their life.

22. What are all the “kinds” of writing/art you do? (short stories, poetry, screenplays, digital, painting, clay, etc.)

I do short stories, poetry, digital art, traditional art too at some points—and sing as well as (kind of) play the piano.

23. Are you in any writer/artist groups? (Ex: discord server!)

Sadly, not really. I get nervous to spread my works to places I'm not comfortable in. But I've heard joining discord servers is a good idea.

24. Do you have/want a career in your medium? If not, what do you do/want to do instead? I would love to publish a book or do a comic of some sort. How I'll go about that, I have zero clue.

25. What’s your favourite genre to write? Is it also your favourite genre to read?

Fantasy and or romance. I prefer to read fantasy over reading romance. I only write romance because of the trauma in my life.

26. What are your favourite books?

The Maze Runner and The Last Unicorn.

27. What are your favourite movies?

The Last Unicorn,Watership Down, and now The Super Mario Brothers Movie (I've watched it like 4 times since I bought it lol).

28. Favourite songs at the moment?

Moonlight Shadow (original artist Mike Oldfield but any artist will do), The Secret of Monkey Island intro melody, and Tombi from Trigun.

29. What was your first fandom you were in? Did you make any art/fanfic for it?

Ronin Warriors, and yes, I wrote and drew for it but ALL that stuff is now archived and lost to time. Lol Well, only gone from the net, really. I still have it offline.
