"5 random facts about an Oc that you haven’t shared before. Pass it on once done!"

Thought it would be fun to hear about your OCs since they are all so vibrant.

Thank you for the question! I like talking about them, but I think you guys know most of the information I have about my OCs, since I mostly just make up their information as I need it for the story. But I can definitely collect some facts about them here, as a lot of the info is scattered across various commentary posts, and I think there are some "making of" facts about them I haven't shared yet.

I tend to use my OCs across fics if I can, but the interpretations change depending on the needs of the fic, in the same way that the interpretations of the canon characters change according to the needs of the fic. (Example: In PINTWILF, Liu Qingge has living, loving parents. In my Stardust AU, Liu Qingge is an orphan and raised Mingyan while living at Cang Qiong.)

I think I'll just go through my list of OCs and see what facts (new and old) about them pop into my mind.

My worldbuilding document is grouped by affiliation, so I guess we're starting with Cang Qiong and Qiong Ding Peak.

I once said that a some of my OCs in PINTWILF are loosely based on MDZS or other MXTX characters. Link to that post: https://tossawary.tumblr.com/post/645024544477822976/.

Xing Bao (PINTWILF), Yue Qingyuan's sixth assistant and favorite disciple, a former victim of the House of Rejuvenation, and the one who accidentally called YQY "Dad", is actually based on Yue Qingyuan himself. A genial disciple who took on responsibility and went through great hardship at a young age. Yue Qingyuan is getting to "make up" for his past by doing better for A-Bao than his master did for him.

Likewise, Fu Qiang of Qing Jing (Shen Qingqiu's "assassin" in PINTWILF) is in some ways a young Shen Qingqiu, though she's intensely private and not quite as hot-tempered. She came out of the House of Rejuvenation wanting a bloody revenge and Shen Qingqiu has helped her get that.

They take inspiration from Qijiu, but are their own people, in part because Qijiu have helped them avoid terrible fates.

Chen Xuan of An Ding Peak, also known as "Dumpling Thief's Friend" (PINTWILF), is actually a legacy disciple. Her mother is an An Ding cultivator, older than Shang Qinghua but still vaguely of the same "generation", named Chen Riling.

Chen Riling appears in my MDZS AU "Nothing to Me, Nothing to You", though she's roughly the same age as Shang Qinghua in that fic. Shang Qinghua in NTMNTY doesn't know this, but Chen Riling is supposed to be the future Madam Shang. The original Shang Qinghua in that AU was a Jin Guangyao Evil Uncle type and there is a fleeting mention in Airplane Bro's original story of a Madam Shang who also met a terrible fate before/after SQH was murdered by MBJ, but the transmigrated Airplane Bro has no intention of getting married and has not realized that the future Madam Shang Qinghua already exists in this world. Chen Riling already has a crush on Shang Qinghua. He is never going to notice until she asks him directly whether or not she ever has a chance with him.

(He's going to turn her down. She will get married to someone else and have Chen Xuan in the NTMNTY universe, and also have insight into the disastrous Moshang romance as one of SQH's friends and feel like she dodged a fucking bullet.)

Peng Hongpeng (PINTWILF), also known as "Spots", has no parents in his life and has fortunately or unfortunately latched on to Shang Qinghua as a parental figure. He looks up to and cares for Shang Qinghua very much, but he does carry some resentment for the things Shang Qinghua has put him through without recognizing him as he would like to be recognized.

Lin Wenjiao (PINTWILF), also known as "Dumpling Thief", is probably most likely to be the next peak lord at this point. Shang Qinghua has the final say, but peak politics do matter somewhat, and Peng Hongpeng's current entanglements with Shang Qinghua and the Demon Realm have made him slightly less popular than Lin Wenjiao on An Ding Peak. Lin Wenjiao has taken advantage of his absences to the Demon Realm, which he knows, and they're still friends.

Shao Jing (PINTWILF), Mu Qingfang's disciple on Qian Cao Peak, will probably not end up with Mobei Zhao. Sorry, guys! She really didn't enjoy her stint in the Demon Realm. Nor her breakup with Peng Hongpeng, even if she's the one who dumped him. She doesn't dislike Mobei Zhao, though. She just needs some time.

Granny Sun (PINTWILF) is the widow of a Cang Qiong cultivator, her late wife. Part of the reason she's so standoffish towards Shang Qinghua is that she's bitter about cultivators going off and dying for "glory" and then leaving people behind.

Tea Shop Auntie (PINTWILF), who wanted Jiahui to marry one of her sons, has a sister who is a sex worker at one of the places that Shen Qingqiu visits for some damn privacy. Tea Shop Auntie's sister saw Shang Qinghua and Luo Jiahui in their early days in Sanjiao Town, and told Shen Qingqiu immediately the next time she saw him.

Master Gao (PINTWILF), former master of the House of Rejuvenation, who was murdered by Elder Lady Xia's attendants, was to be Madam Hu's (PINTWILF) first husband. They are the scum villains from two different plot lines that got combined because of accidental implications on Airplane Bro's part. Master Gao is the asshole rich guy who harassed the protagonist's mother. Madam Hu, mistress of the House of Rejuvenation, was to be the evil stepmother of a Cinderella-type wife character, "the widow of the richest man in town" who married the wife character's father and may or may not have offed her first husband. If not for Shang Qinghua's actions causing a number of different For Want of a Nail changes, Madam Hu would have eventually murdered Master Gao.

Shi Chun (PINTWILF) is the late mother of the Little Palace Mistress. She was Su Xiyan's shimei and the one who ratted out Su Xiyan's pregnancy to the Old Palace Master, already pregnant at the time with the Old Palace Master's daughter. She was very much the Palace Master's "consolation prize" for not getting Su Xiyan. Her time as Palace Mistress did not last very long.

Fan Yuchen (PINTWILF) is very like Liu Qingge in temperament. He shocked everyone at Tian Yi Overlook when he suddenly announced he was going to marry Ding Lanfen because she was pregnant with his child (Bai Jianming's child). Like, before that, no one who knew him would have believed that this guy fucked.

Ding Lanfen's daughter (PINTWILF), the secret niece of the current Xifeng-Jun, is a little like Zhuzhi-Lang in that she didn't get "the perfect mix of both worlds" like Binghe did. She has some tiger-like features that are a little hard to hide sometimes, including a tail.

Mobei Zhao (PINTWILF) | Mobei Didi (Babe in the Woods) is Mobei-Jun's younger brother. I'm not sure yet, but I'm thinking half-brother, and I like to imagine the other half being some kind of water-type ice demon, like a selkie thing. Because I want to have Nanny Shang Qinghua forced to wrestle a slippery baby seal demon type thing into bathtime. In PINTWILF, Mobei Zhao does not know that he is Mobei-Jun's brother. Mobei-Jun gave him away and told everyone that he was dead in order to protect him from Linguang-Jun, and then never talked about it for the next twenty years or so.

Mobei-Jun's great-aunts are there because I was like, "WHERE ARE THE WOMEN?!" But also, like, "WHERE ARE ALL THE OLDER WOMEN IN FANTASY MEDIA?!" I didn't want to have to deal with Mobei-Jun's mother. Or potential wife character sisters. Also, I think it's funny if Meng Mo, the Elder Dream Demon, actually knows other older demons and there's a deeper history to the world.

Shuang Yun (PINTWILF), the wind demon always crashing into windows, Mobei Zhao's best friend, is very, very, very loosely inspired by Lan Xichen. Like, Xichen if he was stripped of all his responsibilities and a little bit drunk (Shuang Yun isn't drunk, though, he's just like that). Shuang Yun runs into windows because he's really, really, really fast. Wind demons transform into this... wind-like being when they run and it takes them a while to build up speed, but it also takes them a while to slow down, and Shuang Yun starts slowing down later than he maybe should because he doesn't see anything wrong with just slamming into a wall and then reforming.

There was another demon OC very loosely based on Nie Mingjue, but he didn't end up making it into PINTWILF.

Bai Jianming (PINTWILF and NTMNTY), known in PINTWILF as "that dead Western Prince" and known in the MDZS AU as "that asshole who got all his limbs broken by Mobei-Jun"), is probably the person who is going to attack the Cloud Recesses in the MDZS AU when the war finally gets going. I know I said that Shang Qinghua was kind of Lan Xichen, Jin Guangyao, and Su She all at once in this AU, but overall, Shang Qinghua's character is actually positioned to be an evil Lan Qiren.

I would talk more about Xifeng-Jun and Elder Lady Xia, but those would probably include spoilers for an upcoming thing, so... you'll have to wait and see!

I think that's most of my prominent OCs? I know there are other OCs, but I don't think much information exists on any of them except what is already included in my fics. If I didn't cover an OC here, feel free to ask me about them at some point.

Valentine's Day Meme

2. Is there a ship you didn’t like at first but ultimately started shipping?

I didn't really like MegOp much at first actually because I originally really didn't care for Optimus as a character (I thought he was boring), but after seeing some of the fanworks and analyses, my opinion of both Optimus (in various continuities) and how he interacts with Megatron was changed.

It's still not even one of my absolute favorites, but I enjoy it on occasion, enough to even participate in a ship week multiple times and pinch hit for a gift exchange.

7. A non-canon ship that should be canon?

Y'know, I... can't think of any because that sort of thinking has just never been on my radar. A good question but one I that I don't have an answer for because I can't really imagine wanting a ship to be canon.

14. Is there a ship you feel gets undeserved hate in fandom?

I guess WindScream because even if I don't actively ship it, like all the complaints I've personally seen about it are actually about some Star Wars thing I've never heard of and not TF? I find it baffling and don't understand.

I think it's an okay ship and I don't see what some unrelated fandom has to do with it.

27. Name a ship that deserved better in the end.

We've gone back into that murky bit where I don't really know what "end" means for ships. None of the things I actively ship I have an end because they didn't exist to start with.

I think the closest I can come with are "it's a damn shame Kiloton died" for Megatron/Kiloton (has the fandom come up with a shorthand name for this one?) and "it's a damn shame Sanctuary Station got destroyed, because Soundwave and Cosmos deserved their peaceful commune."

Roommate rolled randomly, and we got:

Rex/Anakin

7. Who sweats the small stuff?

Part of Rex's responsibilities is often holding the braincells of the 501st. He frets the small stuff, so the General doesn't have to. However, that is part of their professional dynamic. Romantically, Anakin does. As soon as they can put down the mantle of their responsibilities, Anakin now has time to think about things, and he hates that. Their roles have reversed, and Rex is much more willing to just take a deep breath, and leap into the next situation that comes their way like he was dropping off an LA/AT into a fog with no visibility. Before their relationship changed, he worried constantly about the regulations, the Jedi Code, how it would affect the men, and even Ahsoka. So by the time they navigated, negotiated, and found their way into their relationship... Rex is way more confident. He's addressed the first issues. Now it is just a matter of faith. He will always put the 501st first and Ahsoka, but he is now a man prepared to support his Jedi partner who has heavy responsibilities Rex cannot conceive; all he can do is just be there—to put a hand on Anakin's shoulder, to let Anakin have a lap to lay his head on, to be and be the ear that isn't afraid of when Anakin need to scream his feelings out—Rex has survived bombs and droids, he can handle a Jedi Knight screaming his lungs raw. His priority is to be support. So, the answer: Anakin.

5. Who usually has nightmares?

Once again, it is Anakin. It isn't that Rex doesn't have nightmares, he does. Rex has the nightmares the chips constantly replay in his head, and his subconscious suppresses it. He has nightmares of the brothers he lost, and the absence of any time to properly process their deaths and just grieve. Anakin, though, has his Force nightmares. Those are tough for Rex to comprehend; he doesn't get that Force osik. He has faith in Anakin—as a person and a General, and he's seen the power of the Force. But, he still has that Fett-nature to be skeptical of it. Because of that, he knows he can just be the one who calmly sit up, place a hand on Anakin's shoulder, and let the man have a moment to come to after the horror in his mind's.

6. Who would have really deep emotional thoughts at the middle of the night/ Who would have them in the middle of the day?

Rex is a deep thinking in the middle of the day. He has to think about tactical evaluations, Trooper readiness, what equipment, roster—which inevitably leads to those losses I mentioned. It is easy to fall into the deepest depths of his thoughts in the day, when he supposed to be thinking and contemplating. At night, though, Rex has been trained and conditioned to empty his thoughts because sleep is required for a combat-fit soldier.

Anakin's thoughts fall into a gravity well at night. He has kept himself busy all day, jumping from one task to another, and never sitting still. Once he's laying down and Rex's breathing has become slower, steady—he counts each time he hears Rex's lungs breathe in—breathe out—he tries to mimic it, but that darkness behind his eyes leave with him with nothing else but his thoughts. If he wraps an arm around Rex and can feel the man's heartbeat, he may be able to ground himself. Then his thoughts are of the warm skin under his fingers, the sensation of that scar that almost took Rex's life. If grounded, he can sometimes drift off into sleep—the waves as steady as Rex's breathing. Unfortunately, he has too much energy to ground into Rex's heart, and he can't anchor himself. Then he is forced to accept that can't sleep, not yet, and off he goes to tinker with a droid. Then his mind is meditating through his movements. But droids are easy, intuitive, and sometimes... he can see his worry in the fine circuities of his project. If he can tire himself, then he can try again.

17. Who works/ Who stays at home?

Neither. I think both would be incapable of being home-bodies, but they are both nesters. Especially Rex, though that isn't immediate. As a Clone Trooper, Rex has always had minimal belongings, something Anakin can relate to. Their investment in their shared home is the focus of carefully curated items that have deep meaning. Never anything more than can fit in their trunks. They're never going to stop going out there and doing what they were made to, though perhaps with some alterations. After the war, Rex's energy is put to use over rebuilding a galaxy torn about. Anakin? That is difficult. How does the code reconcile? Is he still a Jedi? Even if he left the Order, certainly Rex was one motivating factor, I don't think Anakin would ever be able to ignore his drive to help others. He has to help. So, I think they'd be rebuilding the galaxy side by side, with their men. They are nomads most of the time, so staying at home is... staying together. It is staying with the 501st. It is staying where the other is.

Thank you!!

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc. I often use change as a theme, the world is never static and everything will change wether one want's it to or not. I'll often use weather to change the feel for a scene, rain sparks many emotions.

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

It makes me happy. Even months or years after writing something I can comeback to it and remember what I felt getting ready to post. It is something I can reliably fall back on.

Last Song: "If This is It" - Huey Lewis & the News, my favorite Huey song. 🥺💘💔 The last song I actually recall playing. Probably something else played after that, but I don't remember it because it was background noise.

Currently Watching: Nothing currently, but will shortly be starting a rewatch of Metalocalypse because Army of the Doomstar is coming SOOOOOOOON.

Currently Reading: Mostly TFs fics at the moment, but I do have a stuff on Appalachian folk magic I've been poking my way through at the moment. I'd have to look up the title, but that's too much like work right now. 😂

Current Obsession: Beyond Transformers? Not really anything I'm real deep into. Might change when the Metalocalypse finale comes out, but yeah. Just kinda coasting on the TFs love for the time being.

I'd tag people, but I'm really not good at that. Go for it if you want? 😅

IDW 2 for positivity?

One thing I really like about IDW2 is the alien species and how they all have their own civilizations and histories that then intersect in complicated ways with those of Cybertronians (and the consequences of their colonialism).

I really enjoyed seeing how that played out.

Unfortunately, I still need to finish reading IDW2. I only got through volume 4. Vol. 5 and 6 are sitting there on the shelf, waiting for me to catch up because I procrastinate.
