Season of the Witch (Y/N Ulrich Universe)

Happy Halloween and release of 1989 TV

y/n ulrich room (important to see)

taglist: @volturi-girl-imagines @dessxoxsworld @camiesully @ethanlandryluver @nowitsmissing @aliciacat20 @gabbylovesreading @nikfigueiredo @itsaaliyah2

October, one of the favorite months of the people, including you, because all the fun that included like decorating houses, finding the right costume for threat or tricking or parties, tasting the seasonal drinks or food for different establishments offered, feeling the autumn breeze and the leafs become orange and fall from the trees, watching scary or Halloween themed movies, pumpkin patches, scary houses and festivals, among other stuff

This was also the month (along with your birthday and december) were you got the most PR packages for multiple brands, this year you recieved the entire Ghostface x Glamlite collection, various products from Hot Topic, clothes from the Killstar x Carrie collaboration, a Chamberlain Coffee fall mistery box, even Tatum recieved some things from Petco

"Congratulations, you're famous", you said to Tatum after openning the package seeing her explore the witch hat bed

And that was only the first week of october

However, this year you'll be spending your weeks differently thanks to the fact that your dad got you a job at Halloween Horror Nights to keep practicing your VFX make up skills, which started since early days of september, while the industry returned to normality getting better deals for the actors

And thanks to your contract ending at the end of the third week of october, you got to rest and focus on Scott's Halloween party

"Get in lovers, we're going shopping!", you exclaimed the moment you stopped in front of the Champion house where Jack, Willa and Romeo were waiting for you in the front porch

"Hi", Jack smiled leaning through the open window of your seat

"Hi", you smiled back taking one of his cheeks with your hand to get him closer to your face and share a small kiss to not incomodate the others

"Don't tell me you got a car", Willa said sitting in the passenger seat next to you, while the boys ended up in the backseat

"No, it's dad's", you responded driving again, "He went golfing with Jakob so he let me use it for the day"

"Nice", Romeo nodded, "How was Halloween Horror Nights?"

"If you think it's cool from the outside, it's amazing from the inside", you responded smiling, "Like, being part of the process of helping to do the looks, helping bring them to life it's incredible, and also learning a lot from all those incredible artists"

"Sounds awesome", Romeo commented, "Did you take photos or videos?"

"I did, I'm going to upload them to Tik Tok and Instagram later"

"Hey, changing the theme a little", Willa said, "I know we've known each other for more than a year but I didn't ask this because there wasn't too much familiarity, but, did your dad and Lucy Hale actually date?"

"Definately", you nodded, "It was only for a few months but they did, she is awesome, and it's funny because a few years before I was watching Pretty Little Liars and Truth or Dare, and then in the middle of quarantine, I woke up and she is in the kitchen having breakfast"

"That's crazy", Willa commented

"I know, and even though they broke up I still talk to her sometimes, well, more like I talk to all dad exes sometimes, mostly congratulate each other on birthdays or festivities, but of course more to my mom because, well, she's my mom"

Before Willa or the boys could comment something, from the playlist you put for the ride on shuffle, it sounded the first words of AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM from Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar, causing you to re-start the song

"America, America has a problem", the four of you said together before the music started to sound

During the rest of the ride, the car was filled with sing-along and performance from the songs until the way ended when you spotted a space in the parking of Spirit Halloween

Stepping out of the car, the four of you started to walk towards the entrance noticing there wasn't too manny people, even if it was close to Halloween

"So, who are you going as?", Willa asked, "We know your friend gave us Barbie and he gave you Scream, but we don't how how are you going to do it"

"Sidney and Billy", Jack answered

"Gender swaped", you completed while entering the store

"I was going to do a Freud joke before you specified that", Romeo said

"Understandable", you shrudded, "I mean, Scott told us to be creative, so we did it"

"Giving everyone a different theme was clever", Romeo commented

"He said he didn't want anyone repeating costume so gave us themes", Jack explained

"We also decided to do something different for our costumes", Willa said, "Since everyone is going to do the most popular ones like the cowboy, disco, roller skate and that, we decided to use the outfits they use to deprogram the Barbies from the patriarchy"

"We're going as Allan and Barbie",

"That is an amazing idea", you commented

Going first to the Barbie section of the store where Willa and Romeo got their costumes and some other accesories (he got to buy his in the extra large size due not being that costume for men), the shopping continue exploring the rest of the store and the different options to costumes, accesories, decorations, toys, which ended up in grabbing some things that none of you needed for your costumes but were liked enough to buy it, playing with some of the fake weapons, wigs and accesories, teasing Jack a bit because of the Avatar stuff, before reaching the Scream section

"The bling knife!", you exclaimed taking it noticing it was the last one

Watching the rest of the aisle, you also took the ghostface crossbody bag, the plushie, and the bling mask, while Jack took the metallic mask for himself

"You don't need fake blood?", Willa asked while walking to the cash register

"I have it at home", you responded, "Like five bottles of 2 litters each"

"Tell them about Carrie The Musical", Jack smiled

"Oh my God", you laughed, "Okay, for context, my school always does a small Halloween carnival for the students, parents, teachers and that, so the october before the pandemic we did Carrie The Musical, and I auditioned and got the role of Chris Hargensen, so we started rehearsing and preparing the sets, the utilery and that, and when the director asked me to bring the fake blood for the prom scene, I think she expected me to bring a small bottle for the face he did when I pull out a gallon of fake blood out of my backpack"

"Where did you get a gallon of fake blood so easily?", Romeo laughed

"From the set of Riverdale", you responded, "It was during the weeks were dad would be on set all week and returned on the weekends to be with us, I told him I needed to get some fake blood, but like in buy it that weekend, and then he's getting the gallon out of of his travel bag"

Paying for all of the stuff you choose, the four of you left the store to go have lunch in Olive Garden (which ended up in ordering the Never Ending Pasta), before returning to your place to work on the fake blood for the costumes, noticing your brother's car was on the entrance which meant that they were back from their golf day

"Dad! We're home!", you exclaimed leaving the car keys on the small bowl on the entry before walking to the kitchen stopping for a small moment on the living room, "Why are you having a glare war with my cat?"

"Hey tornado, and other tornados", Jakob greeted standing in front of the flower cat tower, "Tatum hates me, we arrived like half an a hour ago, when dad approached her, she was all lovely and sweet, then she sees me and she's like a giant tiger in the body of a small furr ball"

"Skxawng", you said to him getting closer to hold Tatum in your arms, at what the orange kitten snuggle in your chest to play with your initial necklace, "She doesn't hate you, she just doesn't see you enough"

"Seriously?", Jakob raised an eyebrow, "Willa, Romeo, can you help me prove a point here? Can both of you hold Tatum, please?"

Smiling with fun, both of them held Tatum who was happy for the attention she was having

"See!", Jakob exclaimed watching how Jack was now holding the orange cat, "Tatum hates me"

"Jakob, let your sister alone", Skeet warned from the kitchen, which made everyone go there, "Hey kids, how was shopping?"

"Good, we found everything we needed", you responded leaving your bag in one of the high chairs and approach the fridge to get something to drink for the four of you

"That's nice", Skeet nodded, "By this dates Spirit Halloween or any stores like that are empty of stuff, did you ate?"

"Yeah, we stopped at Olive Garden to have lunch", Willa responded while you returned and started giving them the drinks

"Yeah, all of you shared the Never Ending Pasta", Jakob said looking at his phone causing to all of you to look at him weirdly, "I just saw it on Deuxmoi, someone took a photo"

"The word privacy doesn't exist for them", Romeo commented watching the photo

"At least they didn't took it while we were eating", Jack pointed

"That's the only good part", you shrudded, "Hey dad, we're going to my room to keep working on our costumes"

"Have fun", Skeet nodded while the fur of you along with Tatum started to go upstairs, "Tornado, two packages arrived for you"

"Two?", you exclaimed stopping to look at your dad, "Just today?"

"Yeah, we left them in your room", Skeet answered

"And they were heavy", Jakob completed, "Enjoy the unboxing"

Continuing to go upstairs, the four of you walked through the hall until you entered your room noticing the two boxes stacked on top of another under your ghostface masks

"I think this is the year were I'm getting the more PR stuff", you sighed, "Before we work in our costumes I need to see what I got and when to upload them"

"That's okay", Jack nodded letting Tatum go, who inmediatly went to her window hammock, to hug you and kiss you on the forehead, "We can wait"

"And we want to be part of the unboxing", Willa added leaving her shopping bag in your vanity chair

While they helped you to get the two boxes in the carpet in front of your bed (which was your usual spot for filming), you went to the night stands to get your light ring and your cutter before returning to sit with your back against the bed where the rest were already sat in the carpet

"Why does this feel like we're about to do the 'light as a feather, stiff as a board' thing'?", Romeo commented

That comment was enough to make the four of you burst in laughs

"This is extremely accurate", Jack laughed

"The best part is that one of the actors of The Craft is downstairs", you joked increasing the laughs

Once the laughing finished, you finally started to open the boxes, starting with the one in front of you

"It's the Scooby Doo collection from Wet n Wild", you said getting the box on the form of The Mystery Machine and the card out of the cardboard box, which Jack was quick to slice next to the door, before reading the small note on top, "It says 'post on Tik Tok the day it arrives'"

Organizing your enviroment and positioning your phone with the light in the tripod in a way it looked good, you started filming while the others watched or play with any item you had in your room (appearing for small seconds in the background), giving small reviews on the products

"Thank you so much Wet n Wild for thinking of me and sending these amazing products, it's an honor, and dearest friends behind the screen, make sure to watch these collection on the Wet n Wild page or in your local store, thank you so much and see you next time", you said finishing the five minute Tik Tok before writing a small description and uploading it, "First one done, one to go"

"I love the packaging in these", Willa commented sitting back next to you watching the products, "It's so fun"

"I know, the best honestly, is the make up bag in form of the Mystery Machine", you pointed, "Wet n Wild and Glamlite definately won this year with their collections"

While the boys started to play dress up with your accesories in your closet, you and Willa continued with the next box which was a bit smaller

"This is from That Candle Stuff", you said getting the box out, "It says 'enjoy the candles we personally picked for you', this is so cute"

"I once saw them on Tik Tok, they said they were doing a horror collection", Willa commented, "It could be that"

"Makes sense", you nodded, "I mean, I'm one of the horror nepo babies"

Getting the candles from the box noticing they were mostly of Ghostface and reading the card, you started to do the stories for insta reviewing the candles with small comments from Willa before tagging the store and uploading it

"And we're done, let's continue the costumes", you sighed, "Boys, let's go!"

Gattering the parts of Jack costume that would be covered in fake blood and three bottles of fake blood, the four of you, with Tatum in Romeo arms, went downstairs to go to the pool backyard

"Hey dad, we're going to work with fake blood"

"Just make sure to clean everything, don't want to see a mess"

Stepping to the backyard, you placed the shirt on top of old newspaper, with another in the middle, to start working while the rest sat next to you

"So, no corn syrup this time?", Jakob asked getting out of the house to see

"Wes was a genius by using corn syrup as a reference to Carrie, but is messy when using it, also sticky and uncomfortable, you don't want ants climbing on you", you responded putting fake blood on the shirt and spreading it with your hand, "Fake blood is easy to control and it dries without losing the original color"

"Little tornado, I trust your habilities and talent on VFX make up, but, do you have a back up plan in case something goes wrong?", Jakob asked crouching on the floor next to all of you

"Billy and Stu", Jack responded for you because you were focused on putting the fake blood in the right places

"Anything from the first movie basically", you resumed stopping to compare the shirt with the photo you printed, "Shirt is done"

Hanging the blodied shirt at the railling of the outside stairs, the next part was the long sleeved jean shirt, which Jack had to put in so it could be the most accurate as in the movie, and you had to stand in a small stool to do it correctly

"You know what bothers me more about seeing Carrie costumes every year?", Willa spoked sitting on the sofa and playing with Tatum, "The lack of fake blood"

"Totally right", Jack nodded while you and Romeo did the same according to her

"I mean, they don't pour the blood completely, it's only small droplets in the face and it's all", Willa continued, "Not even the dress, and the band? Carrie doesn't wear a band"

"I'll say high five but my hands are covered in blood", you joked dropping blood in the sleeves, "Carrie was covered in a whole bucket of blood, it wasn't like a mini bottle, it was a whole ass pig's blood, and if you don't want fake blood all over you, then find another way to do it"

Continuing with the conversation about Halloween costumes, you kept working with the fake blood on Jack's costume finishing and leaving the shirt hanging with the other so it dries overnight

And it wasn't until the night before going to sleep that you saw stories from Willa, Romeo and Jakob on instagram that said "no one takes Halloween more serious than Y/N", "when your best friend's girl is a VFX make up artist and you have a Halloween party" and "Is this how kids play these days?", respectively

When the saturday arrived, you slept with Tatum in your arms a bit more to survive for the night, waking up at noon to have a small brunch and then lunch with your dad before going upstairs to start the preparing for the party

And fortunately, the fake bloodied clothes were in perfect state

"Who's ready to party?", Jack exclaimed entering your room behind Willa and Romeo, "Hi, gorgeous"

"Hi babe", you responded while Jack bend over to hug you because you were in your make up chair, "Hi guys, Scott told us to be there an hour before it starts so we have a few hours to get ready"

"Can we see the cardigan?", Willa asked after leaving her bag in top of your bed

"Which cardigan?", you asked with a little smile starting to go to your closet

"You know which one", Willa exclaimed

"The Folklore ones, the Holiday ones, the Red one, the Speak Now one", you said grabbing the one she was refering to, "Or the 1989 one that came with the vynil and a written note!"

"Taylor knows that you exist!", Willa exclaimed getting close to you

"Taylor knows who I am", you screamed before starting to read the note, "As I re-release and reclaim my beloved 1989 album, I wanted to send you some gifts to say thank you for your suport, love Taylor"

Putting the 1989 TV vynil on your vynil player after chilling a little bit, the prepearing for the party continued, and even if Jack and Romeo didn't need make up, you and Willa still made them use facial masks

While they played with Tatum in the carpet, you and Willa helped with each others make up and hair, hers was wavy with the headband and yours was straight

Seeing how you and Willa we're almost ready with the hair and make up, the boys went to your closet to get change to their costumes before it was your turn to get changed, your version of the costume was like following the rule of Mean Girls, which was a strapples short black dress with a long sleeve fishnet top and long leather gloves

"Are you going to use the gloves all night?", Willa asked while organizing purses

"Only for photos", you responded helping putting some fake blood on Jack's hair, "I didn't cry for three hours for not show the tattoo"

"I can confirm that", Jack joked recieving a small tug in his hair by you, "That didn't hurt"

"I know", you smiled ruffling his hair a bit before cleaning your hands with wet wipes, "Does this give you flashbacks?"

"Yeah, but it would be better if you would've been there"

"I was there, for a day"

"But it wasn't enough"

"You know that I didn't wanted to get spoiled on everything"

"But I want to see you in one of the sets with me"

"Remember that James Cameron and Jon Landau invited me to the set when the filming for Avatar returns"

"And you'll be there?"

"Of course! I want to see you in the motion capture suit and the little dots on your face"

Laughing, Jack pulled you towards him to hug you but you tried to be careful because of the fake blood covering part of his face and hair

Once the four of you were ready and took some photos, you took your ghostface crossbody bag, the bling mask, the bling knife and the little VFX make up tool box that you prepare in case anyone needs it, to go downstairs, Tatum was downstairs since an hour ago

"Dad, we're about to go", you announced stopping in the living room where he was watching a movie with Tatum in the sofa

"Go change your shoes", Skeet ordered seeing your look, "I won't let my child use a Ghostface costume with crocs, put your Dr Martens or any type of boots you want, even sneakers, but not the crocs"

"What's wrong with them?", you laughed

"Ghostface doesn't use crocs!", Skeet exclaimed causing Jack, Willa and Romeo to giggle, "It's always boots or sneakers, not crocs"

"But I want to be comfortable", you justified

"Listen, tornado", Skeet sighed, "Since you started to be a public figure, content creator, influencer or whatever you want to call it, people started to call you the 'ghostface princess', and I won't let you humilliate yourself by wearing crocs to a Halloween Party, so-"

"Dad, this is a prank", you revealed still laughing, "I'm going to wear my over-the-knee platform black boots"

"Don't scare me like that again", Skeet sighed starting to get up from the couch, "Come on, I'm going to take some photos"

After changing shoes and posing on the living room, in the backyard and in the front door with some of the decorations, the four of you started to climb into Jack's car

"Don't be here too late, drive careful and if you need me to go get you just let me know", Skeet exclaimed, "Have fun!"

During the whole thirty minute ride to Scott's house the noises that filled the car were the soft music, indications from you and comments about the decorated houses until the way stopped in front of a big suburban house decorated for the date and with a few cars stationed in the entry

"Let's start the night!", Romeo exclaimed while walking to the entrance of the house

"You are going to get along so well", you smiled towards Willa and Romeo while walking hand in hand with Jack

"Totally", Jack agreeded, "They're really cool"

Arriving at the front door, you knocked the door, which only lasted for a few seconds because it was open by Scott who was dressed as Patrick Bateman

"There's my favorite Hollywood couple", Scott exclaimed with happiness, "You look incredible, all of you, come in"

"Hello Patrick Bateman", you greeted hugging him quickly

"Hi honey", Scott returned looking carefully at the four of you, "You made him look bloddy, I love it"

"Just another day on Sidney and Billy's life", Jack joked

"That's really creative", Scott commented

"You told us to be creative so we did", you shrudded

"And I'm going to asume that you are Willa and Romeo based on the anti-pathriarchy Barbie costumes", Scott smiled seeing them, "Nice to meet you, love the way you interpreted it"

"Thank you for let us come to the party", Romeo said

"The more the merrier", Scott simplified, "Besides, I like to have more friends"

"I hear my bestie's voice", Sarah exclaimed from another part of the house

"Is because your bestie is here", you responded

Walking through the house, the five of you went to the dinning room where the rest of the group was already there

"Hello Freddy, Michael and Ellen Ripley", you smiled towards Sarah, Abby (whoms costumes were in the same style as yours) and Noah respectively

"Hello, Ghostface and Sidney", Abby greeted, "And hello to you to Barbie and Allan"

"Sig!", Jack exclaimed as a joke going to hug Noah

"Jack Jack!", Noah also exclaimed hugging him back

Greeting and introducing everyone, the eight of you continued to help decorate the house and you added some details to the ones who had make up or blood on them

"So, how much people will be here?", Willa asked

"Like twenty something including us", Scott responded while you were splashing some fake blood on him, "It's something small"

"We always do something small", Noah explained, "We had this tradition since middle school to go threat or tricking and then go to one of our houses to have a sleepover"

"We started doing that because Kira and Bethany didn't invited us to their Halloween parties", Sarah laughed

"She tried us to go after she saw dad on a Riverdale commercial", you added, "Not even a chapter, it was only a commercial"

"Thank God you ended her during the late prom", Abbey pointed, "I think she deleted her Twitter account or it got suspended because it's not longer there"

"Cheers to that", Scott commented, "You've should see how our girl ended her"

"We saw the live", Romeo said, "Like the next day it was on the internet and Jack send it to us, it was wild"

"I'm going to be honest, I don't care if someone calls me a nepo baby, because I am", you spoked, "If you say it in a way that is like 'she's the daughter of Skeet Ulrich and he's helping her to become a VFX make up artist' is okay for me because it's true, but if it's in a bad way as an insult like 'she gets everything she wants because of her dad and she doesn't work hard for things' then we have a problem because I'm working hard to become one of the best of the industry"

"The day any of you are nominated for an Oscar", Scott said pointing at you, Jack and Willa, "I want to design what you're going to wear"

In the meantime while the rest arrived, the eight of you passed the time doing some Tik Toks to post later with different audios and took some pictures

Once the rest of the people arrived with their costumes of different iconic movies, the party started with a small themed-Halloween dinner, which was followed by a session of karaoke and small games, leaving the dance part for the rest of the night (which also included a small "ritual" with Willow by Taylor Swift), and some classic dances from movies

BONUS SCENE

On sunday, which was the day that the whole family reunite to spend the day together, your siblings along with their couples, and Anna along with Butters and Izzy arrived a bit before noon to help prepare lunch

"Where's the little tornado?", Naiia asked after feeling the house so calm, "And the other tornados, the house feels so calm"

"Didn't they went to a Halloween party?", Megan, Jakob's girlfriend pointed

"Y/N even used like a bottle of fake blood on Jack's costume", Jakob commented

"Also in his face and hair", Anna mentioned, "They really work hard on their costumes"

"Which were their costumes?", Stutz, Naiia's boyfriend, questioned

"Y/N and Jack went as Billy and Sidney, Willa and Romeo as Barbie and Allan", Skeet answered coming down from the second floor, "They're still sleeping but you need to come and see this"

Leaving what they were doing and the pets playing in the living room, all of them went upstairs to the second floor and walk towards your room where the door was open revealing bags around the room and the small dissaster that is left after getting ready before a party, and the four of you sleeping in your bed

"Thank God she choose a queen sized bed instead of a double one when she udgrade her room", Naiia commented taking some photos

"At which hour they returned?", Anna asked

"I think it was before two", Skeet responded, "I didn't slept until they returned, one of them use the bathroom to take a shower and then I didn't hear anything around almost three"

"That must be a really fun party", Jakob pointed

More. This time it's twice as long and it's also OC cringe. Not beta read, we die like men.

It's been almost 6 years since the Calypsos died. Sir Alistair Hammerlock-Jakobs had just returned from a long hunting trip to the tarpits of Chernobog-4, and was on his way to his belovedmost husband's office, when he heard footsteps behind him.

He recognized the footsteps of several people by ear. Mostly, people he's known for a long time - Gaige, Winny, Angel. And these footsteps? These footsteps could have only belonged to-

- AURELIA!? - Alistair turned around and shouted. There, in the hallway, stood his sister. He thought she would finally leave him alone after that weird stint on his wedding day 6 years ago, but no. She had to show up, IN HIS HOUSE, UNANNOUNCED.

- Bonjour, Listie. - she responded, waving to him in that passive-aggressive way she always did.

- Wh- why are you here? You said you will leave me to my own devices.

- My girlfriend has some unfinished business on this planet, so I thought I would drop by and say hello. How's the whole, um, trophy husband thing going for you?

- Relia, please just-

- Is he spoiling you perchance? Of course he is, just look at that expensive hunting gear. My outfit costs twice as much, obviously, but you know, points for trying.

- Relia, please-

- By the way, did I mention this planet is supposed to be a major corporation's hub, but it just REEKS of poor? I'd expect a Hammerlock to live in better conditions.

- Relia-

- Dad? - A child suddenly came into the hallway. Ze looked 11, maybe 12 at most. Zir skin was the color of polished wood. Zir very curly dark brown hair was gathered in a bun, except for the side of zir face, where a small braid covered zir ear. Ze wore small, white glasses, a skirt, a coat and a gentle smile.

- Lazarus, sweetpea, shouldn't you be with your other father? - said Alistair in an exasperated tone.

The Baroness stood dead in her tracks. She slowly looked at her brother, then at the child, and then at her brother again.

- He's still workin'. I wanted to greet you first. - Lazarus responded. Ze looked at Aurelia, but quickly looked away when ze realized she was looking back directly into zir eyes. - Who is this, dad?

- Oh, um, - Alistair stammered for a second, kneeled so that he and Lazarus were roughly on level, and gestured to his sister - this is your aunt, and my sister, Aurelia Hammerlock.

- Oh, hello Auntie Aurelia! - Lazarus exclaimed gleefully. - Oi, can I call you Auntie? Or is that not okay with you?

The Baroness did not know how to respond. All she wanted to do was talk to her brother a little bit, annoy him in the process (partially on accident and partially on purpose, you know, to show affection in the only way she knows), see how he's doing... and now she had to come to terms with being an aunt. She didn't even know this child existed! How dare her brother not- oh, right, he hates her. Dammit.

- Uhhh, I, umm, yes dear, it is totally okay.

- Yaaay!!! - Lazarus threw zir hands in the air and embraced Aurelia. Alistair tried to peel the child off his sister, but to no avail.

- That's enough, Laz, now let's go to your other fath-

- Oh, umm, silly me. I should give you a gift, yes? It's what family members do when they visit someone after a long time, yes? - Aurelia interjected and reached into her purse. She rummaged in it for a while and took out an expensive blued steel watch. She promptly gave it to Laz, much to zir admiration.

Alistair was incredibly confused. His sister, of all people, was being nice to someone. And that someone was his own child. Adopted, yes, but still very much his own.

- Wow, thanks Auntie! I'm gonna go show it to Papa! Seeya! - Laz ran out back the same door ze came in.

The Hammerlock siblings both looked at the door, then at eachother, then back at the door, then again at eachother.

- So... Listie... you are a father now. And I'm an aunt. Shi- I mean, mon dieu, I- I'm... sorry, I didn't know-

- Don't say a thing. - Alistair sighed. - You know I can't just forgive you. Ideally, I'd have you be on the opposite side of the universe to me and everyone I love.

There was a moment of uncomfortable silence.

- But... are you willing to give me a sister's chance?

- Maybe. - Alistair chuckled. - Maybe.

Alistair spread out his arms, as if waiting for a hug. Aurelia... just kind of patted him on the shoulder instead.

This was the beginning of something new.

Mae West (born Mary Jane West; August 17, 1893 – November 22, 1980) was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades. She was known for her lighthearted, bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence, and often used a husky contralto voice. She was active in vaudeville and on stage in New York City before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the film industry.

West was one of the most controversial movie stars of her day; she encountered many problems, especially censorship. She once quipped, "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." She bucked the system by making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When her film career ended, she wrote books and plays, and continued to perform in Las Vegas and the United Kingdom, on radio and television, and recorded rock 'n roll albums. In 1999, the American Film Institute posthumously voted West the 15th greatest female screen legend of classic American cinema.

Mary Jane West was born on August 17, 1893, in Brooklyn (either Greenpoint or Bushwick, before New York City was consolidated in 1898). She was delivered at home by an aunt who was a midwife. She was the eldest surviving child of John Patrick West and Mathilde "Tillie" (later Matilda) Delker (originally Doelger; later Americanized to "Delker" or "Dilker"). Tillie and her five siblings emigrated with their parents, Jakob (1835–1902) and Christiana (1838–1901; née Brüning) Doelger from Bavaria in 1886. West's parents married on January 18, 1889, in Brooklyn, to the pleasure of the groom's parents and the displeasure of the bride's parents and raised their children as Protestants, although John West was of mixed Catholic–Protestant descent.

West's father was a prizefighter known as "Battlin' Jack West" who later worked as a "special policeman" and later had his own private investigations agency. Her mother was a former corset and fashion model. Her paternal grandmother, Mary Jane (née Copley), for whom she was named, was of Irish Catholic descent and West's paternal grandfather, John Edwin West, was of English–Scots descent and a ship's rigger.

Her eldest sibling, Katie, died in infancy. Her other siblings were Mildred Katherine West, later known as Beverly (December 8, 1898 – March 12, 1982), and John Edwin West II (sometimes inaccurately called "John Edwin West, Jr."; February 11, 1900 – October 12, 1964). During her childhood, West's family moved to various parts of Woodhaven, as well as the Williamsburg and Greenpoint neighborhoods of Brooklyn. In Woodhaven, at Neir's Social Hall (which opened in 1829 and is still extant), West supposedly first performed professionally.

West was five when she first entertained a crowd at a church social, and she started appearing in amateur shows at the age of seven. She often won prizes at local talent contests. She began performing professionally in vaudeville in the Hal Clarendon Stock Company in 1907 at the age of 14. West first performed under the stage name "Baby Mae", and tried various personas, including a male impersonator.

She used the alias "Jane Mast" early in her career. Her trademark walk was said to have been inspired or influenced by female impersonators Bert Savoy and Julian Eltinge, who were famous during the Pansy Craze. Her first appearance in a Broadway show was in a 1911 revue A La Broadway put on by her former dancing teacher, Ned Wayburn. The show folded after eight performances, but at age 18, West was singled out and discovered by The New York Times. The Times reviewer wrote that a "girl named Mae West, hitherto unknown, pleased by her grotesquerie and snappy way of singing and dancing". West next appeared in a show called Vera Violetta, whose cast featured Al Jolson. In 1912, she appeared in the opening performance of A Winsome Widow as a "baby vamp" named La Petite Daffy.

She was encouraged as a performer by her mother, who, according to West, always thought that anything Mae did was fantastic. Other family members were less encouraging, including an aunt and her paternal grandmother. They are all reported as having disapproved of her career and her choices. In 1918, after exiting several high-profile revues, West finally got her break in the Shubert Brothers revue Sometime, opposite Ed Wynn. Her character Mayme danced the shimmy and her photograph appeared on an edition of the sheet music for the popular number "Ev'rybody Shimmies Now".

Eventually, she began writing her own risqué plays using the pen name Jane Mast. Her first starring role on Broadway was in a 1926 play she entitled Sex, which she wrote, produced, and directed. Although conservative critics panned the show, ticket sales were strong. The production did not go over well with city officials, who had received complaints from some religious groups, and the theater was raided, with West arrested along with the cast. She was taken to the Jefferson Market Court House, (now Jefferson Market Library), where she was prosecuted on morals charges, and on April 19, 1927, was sentenced to 10 days for "corrupting the morals of youth". Though West could have paid a fine and been let off, she chose the jail sentence for the publicity it would garner. While incarcerated on Welfare Island (now known as Roosevelt Island), she dined with the warden and his wife; she told reporters that she had worn her silk panties while serving time, in lieu of the "burlap" the other girls had to wear. West got great mileage from this jail stint. She served eight days with two days off for "good behavior". Media attention surrounding the incident enhanced her career, by crowning her the darling "bad girl" who "had climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong".

Her next play, The Drag, dealt with homosexuality, and was what West called one of her "comedy-dramas of life". After a series of try-outs in Connecticut and New Jersey, West announced she would open the play in New York. However, The Drag never opened on Broadway due to efforts by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice to ban any attempt by West to stage it. West explained, "The city fathers begged me not to bring the show to New York because they were not equipped to handle the commotion it would cause." West was an early supporter of the women's liberation movement, but said she was not a "burn your bra" type feminist. Since the 1920s, she was also an early supporter of gay rights, and publicly declared against police brutality that gay men experienced. She adopted a then "modern" psychological explanation that gay men were women's souls in men's bodies, and hitting a gay man was akin to hitting a woman. In her 1959 autobiography, Goodness Had Nothing to Do With It, West strongly objected to hypocrisy while, for surprising and unexplained reasons, also disparaging homosexuality: "In many ways homosexuality is a danger to the entire social system of Western civilization. Certainly a nation should be made aware of its presence — without moral mottoes — and its effects on children recruited to it in their innocence. I had no objection to it as a cult of jaded inverts... involved only with themselves. It was its secret, anti-social aspects I wanted to bring into the sun. As a private pressure group it could, and has, infected whole nations." This perspective, never elaborated upon by Mae West in other books or interviews seems inconsistent with the Mae West persona. In her 1975 book Sex, Health, and ESP, Mae West writes on page 43, "I believe that the world owes male and female homosexuals more understanding than we've given them. Live and let live is my philosophy on the subject, and I believe everybody has the right to do his or her own thing or somebody else's -- as long as they do it all in private!"

West continued to write plays, including The Wicked Age, Pleasure Man and The Constant Sinner. Her productions aroused controversy, which ensured that she stayed in the news, which also often resulted in packed houses at her performances. Her 1928 play, Diamond Lil, about a racy, easygoing, and ultimately very smart lady of the 1890s, became a Broadway hit and cemented West's image in the public's eye. This show had an enduring popularity and West successfully revived it many times throughout the course of her career. With Diamond Lil being a hit show, Hollywood naturally came courting.

In 1932, West was offered a contract by Paramount Pictures despite being close to 40. This was an unusually late age to begin a film career, especially for women, but she was not playing an ingénue. She nonetheless managed to keep her age ambiguous for some time. She made her film debut in Night After Night (1932) starring George Raft, who suggested West for the role. At first she did not like her small role in Night After Night, but was appeased when she was allowed to rewrite her scenes.[45] In West's first scene, a hat-check girl exclaims, "Goodness, what beautiful diamonds", and West replies, "Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie." Reflecting on the overall result of her rewritten scenes, Raft is said to have remarked, "She stole everything but the cameras."

She brought her Diamond Lil character, now renamed "Lady Lou", to the screen in She Done Him Wrong (1933). The film was one of Cary Grant's first major roles, which boosted his career. West claimed she spotted Grant at the studio and insisted that he be cast as the male lead. She claimed to have told a Paramount director, "If he can talk, I'll take him!". The film was a box office hit and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. The success of the film saved Paramount from bankruptcy, grossing over $2 million, the equivalent of $140 million today. Paramount recognizes that debt of gratitude today, with a building on the lot named after West.

Her next release, I'm No Angel (1933), teamed her with Grant again. I'm No Angel was also a box office hit and was the most successful of her entire film career. In the months that followed the release of this film, reference to West could be found almost anywhere, from the song lyrics of Cole Porter, to a Works Progress Administration (WPA) mural of San Francisco's newly built Coit Tower, to She Done Him Right, a Betty Boop cartoon, to "My Dress Hangs There", a painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Kahlo's husband, Diego Rivera, paid his own tribute: "West is the most wonderful machine for living I have ever known – unfortunately on the screen only." To F. Scott Fitzgerald, West was especially unique: "The only Hollywood actress with both an ironic edge and a comic spark." As Variety put it, "Mae West's films have made her the biggest conversation-provoker, free-space grabber, and all-around box office bet in the country. She's as hot an issue as Hitler."

By 1933, West was one of the largest box office draws in the United States and, by 1935, West was also the highest paid woman and the second-highest paid person in the United States (after William Randolph Hearst). Hearst invited West to San Simeon, California. "I could'a married him", West explained, "but I got no time for parties. I don't like those big crowds." On July 1, 1934, the censorship of the film Production Code began to be seriously and meticulously enforced, and West's scripts were heavily edited. She would intentionally place extremely risqué lines in her scripts, knowing they would be cut by the censors. She hoped they would then not object as much to her other less suggestive lines. Her next film was Belle of the Nineties (1934). The original title, It Ain't No Sin, was changed due to the censors' objections. Despite Paramount's early objections regarding costs, West insisted the studio to hire Duke Ellington and his orchestra to accompany her in the film's musical numbers. Their collaboration was a success; the classic "My Old Flame" (recorded by Duke Ellington) was introduced in this film. Her next film, Goin' to Town (1935), received mixed reviews, as censorship continued to take its toll in eroding West's best lines.

Her following effort, Klondike Annie (1936) dealt, as best it could given the heavy censorship, with religion and hypocrisy. Some critics called the film her magnum opus, but not everyone felt the same way. Press baron and film mogul William Randolph Hearst, ostensibly offended by an off-handed remark West made about his mistress, Marion Davies, sent a private memo to all his editors stating, "That Mae West picture Klondike Annie is a filthy picture... We should have editorials roasting that picture, Mae West, and Paramount... DO NOT ACCEPT ANY ADVERTISING OF THIS PICTURE." At one point, Hearst asked aloud, "Isn't it time Congress did something about the Mae West menace?" Paramount executives felt they had to tone down the West characterization or face further recrimination. This may be surprising by today's standards, as West's films contained no nudity, no profanity, and very little violence. Though raised in an era when women held second-place roles in society, West portrayed confident women who were not afraid to use their sexual wiles to get what they wanted. "I was the first liberated woman, you know. No guy was going to get the best of me. That's what I wrote all my scripts about."

Around the same time, West played opposite Randolph Scott in Go West, Young Man (1936). In this film, she adapted Lawrence Riley's Broadway hit Personal Appearance into a screenplay. Directed by Henry Hathaway, Go West, Young Man is considered one of West's weaker films of the era, due to the censor's cuts.

West next starred in Every Day's a Holiday (1937) for Paramount before their association came to an end. Again, due to censor cuts, the film performed below its goal. Censorship had made West's sexually suggestive brand of humor impossible for the studios to distribute. West, along with other stellar performers, was put on a list of actors called "Box Office Poison" by Harry Brandt on behalf of the Independent Theatre Owners Association. Others on the list were Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich, Fred Astaire, Dolores del Río, Katharine Hepburn and Kay Francis. The attack was published as a paid advertisement in The Hollywood Reporter, and was taken seriously by the fearful studio executives. The association argued that these stars' high salaries and extreme public popularity did not affect their ticket sales, thus hurt the exhibitors. This did not stop producer David O. Selznick, who next offered West the role of the sage madam, Belle Watling, the only woman ever to truly understand Rhett Butler, in Gone with the Wind, after Tallulah Bankhead turned him down. West also turned down the part, claiming that as it was, it was too small for an established star, and that she would need to rewrite her lines to suit her own persona. The role eventually went to Ona Munson.

In 1939, Universal Studios approached West to star in a film opposite W. C. Fields. The studio was eager to duplicate the success of Destry Rides Again starring Marlene Dietrich and James Stewart, with a comic vehicle starring West and Fields. Having left Paramount 18 months earlier and looking for a new film, West accepted the role of Flower Belle Lee in the film My Little Chickadee (1940). Despite the stars' intense mutual dislike, Fields's very real drinking problems and fights over the screenplay, My Little Chickadee was a box office hit, outgrossing Fields's previous film, You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (1939) and the later The Bank Dick (1940). Despite this, religious leaders condemned West as a negative role model, taking offense at lines such as "Between two evils, I like to pick the one I haven't tried before" and "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"

West's next film was Columbia's The Heat's On (1943). She initially did not want to do the film, but after actor, director and friend Gregory Ratoff (producer Max Fabian in All About Eve) pleaded with her and claimed he would go bankrupt if she could not help, West relented as a personal favor. Censors by now, though, had curtailed the sexual burlesque of the West characterization. The studio had orders to raise the neck lines and clean up the double entendres. This was the only film for which West was virtually not allowed to write her own dialogue and, as a result, the film suffered.

Perhaps the most critical challenge facing West in her career was censorship of her dialogue. As on Broadway a decade before, by the mid-1930s, her risqué and ribald dialogue could no longer be allowed to pass. The Heat's On opened to poor reviews and weak performance at the box office. West was so distraught after the experience and by her years of struggling with the strict Hays censorship office, that she would not attempt another film role for the next quarter-century. Instead, West pursued a successful and record-breaking career in top nightclubs, Las Vegas, nationally in theater and on Broadway, where she was allowed, even welcomed, to be herself.

After appearing in The Heat's On in 1943, West returned to a very active career on stage and in swank clubs. Among her popular new stage performances was the title role in Catherine Was Great (1944) on Broadway, in which she penned a spoof on the story of Catherine the Great of Russia, surrounding herself with an "imperial guard" of tall, muscular young actors. The play was produced by theater and film impresario Mike Todd (Around The World in 80 Days) and ran for 191 performances and then went on tour.

When Mae West revived her 1928 play Diamond Lil, bringing it back to Broadway in 1949, The New York Times labeled her an "American Institution – as beloved and indestructible as Donald Duck. Like Chinatown, and Grant's Tomb, Mae West should be seen at least once." In the 1950s, West starred in her own Las Vegas stage show at the newly opened Sahara Hotel, singing while surrounded by bodybuilders. The show stood Las Vegas on its head. "Men come to see me, but I also give the women something to see: wall to wall men!" West explained. Jayne Mansfield met and later married one of West's muscle men, a former Mr. Universe, Mickey Hargitay.

When casting about for the role of Norma Desmond for the 1950 film Sunset Boulevard, Billy Wilder offered West the role. Still smarting from the censorship debacle of The Heat's On, and the constraints placed on her characterization, she declined. The theme of the Wilder film, she noted, was pure pathos, while her brand of comedy was always "about uplifting the audience". Mae West had a unique comic character that was timeless, in the same way Charlie Chaplin did. After Mary Pickford also declined the role, Gloria Swanson was cast.

In subsequent years, West was offered the role of Vera Simpson, opposite Marlon Brando, in the 1957 film adaptation of Pal Joey, which she turned down, with the role going to Rita Hayworth. In 1964, West was offered a leading role in Roustabout, starring Elvis Presley. She turned the role down, and Barbara Stanwyck was cast in her place. West was also approached for roles in Frederico Fellini's Juliet of the Spirits and Satyricon, but rejected both offers.

In 1958, West appeared at the live televised Academy Awards and performed the song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Rock Hudson, which brought a standing ovation. In 1959, she released an autobiography, Goodness Had Nothing to Do With It, which became a best seller and was reprinted with a new chapter in 1970. West guest-starred on television, including The Dean Martin Show in 1959 and The Red Skelton Show in 1960, to promote her autobiography, and a lengthy interview on Person to Person with Charles Collingwood, which was censored by CBS in 1959, and never aired. CBS executives felt members of the television audience were not ready to see a nude marble statue of West, which rested on her piano. In 1964, she made a guest appearance on the sitcom Mister Ed. Much later, in 1976, she was interviewed by Dick Cavett and sang two songs on his "Back Lot U.S.A." special on CBS.

West's recording career started in the early 1930s with releases of her film songs on shellac 78 rpm records. Most of her film songs were released as 78s, as well as sheet music. In 1955, she recorded her first album, The Fabulous Mae West. In 1965, she recorded two songs, "Am I Too Young" and "He's Good For Me", for a 45 rpm record released by Plaza Records. She recorded several tongue-in-cheek songs, including "Santa, Come Up to See Me", on the album Wild Christmas, which was released in 1966 and reissued as Mae in December in 1980. Demonstrating her willingness to keep in touch with the contemporary scene, in 1966 she recorded Way Out West, the first of her two rock-and-roll albums. The second, released in 1972 on MGM Records and titled Great Balls of Fire, covered songs by The Doors, among others, and had songs written for West by English songwriter-producer Ian Whitcomb.

After a 27-year absence from motion pictures, West appeared as Leticia Van Allen in Gore Vidal's Myra Breckinridge (1970) with Raquel Welch, Rex Reed, Farrah Fawcett, and Tom Selleck in a small part. The movie was intended to be deliberately campy sex change comedy, but had serious production problems, resulting in a botched film that was both a box-office and critical failure. Author Vidal, at great odds with inexperienced and self-styled "art film" director Michael Sarne, later called the film "an awful joke". Though Mae West was given star billing to attract ticket buyers, her scenes were truncated by the inexperienced film editor, and her songs were filmed as though they were merely side acts. Mae West's counterculture appeal (she was dubbed "the queen of camp"), included the young and hip, and by 1971, the student body of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) voted Mae West "Woman of the Century" in honor of her relevance as a pioneering advocate of sexual frankness and courageous crusader against censorship.

In 1975, West released her book Sex, Health, and ESP (William Allen & Sons, publisher), and Pleasure Man (Dell publishers) based on her 1928 play of the same name. Her autobiography, Goodness Had Nothing to Do with It, was also updated and republished in the 1970s.

Mae West was a shrewd investor, produced her own stage acts, and invested her money in large tracts of land in Van Nuys, a thriving suburb of Los Angeles. With her considerable fortune, she could afford to do as she liked. In 1976, she appeared on Back Lot U.S.A. on CBS, where she was interviewed by Dick Cavett and sang "Frankie and Johnny" along with "After You've Gone." That same year, she began work on her final film, Sextette (1978). Adapted from a 1959 script written by West, the film's daily revisions and production disagreements hampered production from the beginning. Due to the near-endless last-minute script changes and tiring production schedule, West agreed to have her lines signaled to her through a speaker concealed in her hair piece. Despite the daily problems, West was, according to Sextette director Ken Hughes, determined to see the film through. At 84, her now-failing eyesight made navigating around the set difficult, but she made it through the filming, a tribute to her self-confidence, remarkable endurance, and stature as a self-created star 67 years after her Broadway debut in 1911 at the age of 18. Time magazine wrote an article on the indomitable star entitled "At 84, Mae West Is Still Mae West".

Upon its release, Sextette was not a critical or commercial success, but has a diverse cast. The cast included some of West's first co-stars such as George Raft (Night After Night, 1932), silver screen stars such as Walter Pidgeon and Tony Curtis, and more contemporary pop stars such as The Beatles' Ringo Starr and Alice Cooper, and television favorites such as Dom DeLuise and gossip queen Rona Barrett. It also included cameos of some of her musclemen from her 1950s Las Vegas show, such as the still remarkably fit Reg Lewis. Sextette also reunited Mae West with Edith Head, her costume designer from 1933 in She Done Him Wrong.

West was married on April 11, 1911 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Frank Szatkus (1892–1966), whose stage name was Frank Wallace, a fellow vaudevillian whom she met in 1909. She was 17. She kept the marriage a secret, but a filing clerk discovered the marriage certificate in 1935 and alerted the press. The clerk also uncovered an affidavit in which she had declared herself married, made during the Sex trial in 1927.

In August 1913, she met Guido Deiro (1886–1950), an Italian-born vaudeville headliner and star of the piano-accordion. Her affair, and possible 1914 marriage to him, as alleged by Diero's son Guido Roberto Deiro in his 2019 book Mae West and The Count, went "very deep, hittin' on all the emotions". West later said, "Marriage is a great institution. I'm not ready for an institution yet."

In 1916, when she was a vaudeville actress, West had a relationship with James Timony (1884–1954), an attorney nine years her senior. Timony was also her manager. By the time that she was an established movie actress in the mid-1930s, they were no longer a couple. West and Timony remained extremely close, living in the same building, working together, and providing support for each other until Timony's death in 1954.

West remained close to her family throughout her life and was devastated by her mother's death in 1930. In 1930, she moved to Hollywood and into the penthouse at The Ravenswood apartment building where she lived until her death in 1980. Her sister, brother, and father followed her to Hollywood where she provided them with nearby homes, jobs, and sometimes financial support. Among her boyfriends was boxing champion William Jones, nicknamed Gorilla Jones (1906–1982). The management at her Ravenswood apartment building barred the African American boxer from entering the premises; West solved the problem by buying the building and lifting the ban.

She became romantically involved at age 61 with Chester Rybinski (1923–1999), one of the muscle men in her Las Vegas stage show – a wrestler, former Mr. California, and former merchant sailor. He was 30 years younger than she, and later changed his name to Paul Novak. He moved in with her, and their romance continued until her death in 1980 at age 87. Novak once commented, "I believe I was put on this Earth to take care of Mae West." West was a Presbyterian.

In August 1980, West tripped while getting out of bed. After the fall she was unable to speak and was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, where tests revealed that she had suffered a stroke. She died on November 22, 1980, at the age of 87.

A private service was held at the church in Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills, on November 25, 1980; (the church is a replica of Boston's Old North Church.) Bishop Andre Penachio, a friend, officiated at the entombment in the family mausoleum at Cypress Hills Abbey, Brooklyn, purchased in 1930 when her mother died. Her father and brother were also entombed there before her, and her younger sister, Beverly, was laid to rest in the last of the five crypts less than 18 months after West's death.

For her contribution to the film industry, Mae West has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1560 Vine Street in Hollywood. For her contributions as a stage actor in the theater world, she has been inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame. On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Mae West among hundreds of artists whose material was destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.

Note

celestiyale here~ all of the oc questions because I'm an ass like that

I can’t believe you’ve done this to me

1. Your first OC ever?

Technically my sonic oc I made when I was like what, 8?

In all seriousness, I think it’s Kara. She’s can shapeshift into a wolf.

2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?

I’d gotta say it’s probably Chase. He’s pretty upbeat and I think about what stupid things he’d get into.

3. Have you ever adopted a character or gotten a character from someone else?

Nah

4. A character you rarely talk about?

I barley talk about most of my OCs, you’ll just have to ask to see them

(｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?

Kara. She’s apart of a story i’m trying to make and therefore if she’s popular than my other characters would be by association.

6. Two OCs of yours that look alike despite not being related?

Chase and Mike. When I first did their designs freshman year of highschool they looked almost the same, thankfully I’ve fixed that a bit. Just in case though it gave me an excuse to pretend they’re brothers of sorts.

7. Are your OCs part of any story or stories?

Kara, Jasper, Bellona, and a couple others i’ve yet to name. They’re the ones that actually have a kind of story going on. still working on the others

8. Do you RP as any of your OCs? If you do, introduce one of your RP OCs here!

I haven’t RP’ed since elementary school @whimsicalsnail can vouch for me

9. Would you ever be willing to give any of your OCs to someone else?

No, they’re all my children and I love them.

10. Introduce an OC with a complicated design?

None of them are very complicated actually...a bit too simple if you ask me...

11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a “sunshine”?

Chase or Kara

12. Name an OC that isn’t yours but who you like a lot

There are too many webcomics I’ve read for me to pick one

13. Do you have any troublemaker OCs?

Elliot, he’s in college and he’s a punk

14. Introduce an OC with a tragic backstory

Kara and Jasper. Their family and possibly clan were wiped out by a witch and wizard. Jasper takes care of Kara like a little sister and feels responsible for both their families fallen because he could have given a better warning. Since the attack, Kara has nightmares and if she get’s too emotional (anger, fear, sadness) something else takes over.... talk about cliche

15. Do you like to talk about your OCs with other people?

Only ones that promise not to judge how terrible they all are

16. Which one of your OCs would be the best at biology (school subject)?

Mia

17. Any OC OTPs?

I don’t really ship any of my OCs together. I’ve tried making someone for Chase and Mike but...relationships are complicated and so is OC making

18. Any OC crackships?

Nah

19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why)

I can’t say there’s one that “means a lot” to me...guess I don’t bond with them enough hehe

20. Do any of your OCs sing? If they sing, care to share more details (headcanon voice, what kind of songs they like etc)?

Chase is a singer. He’s the lead singer of a little rock band he make called Rising Phoenixes (It’s a work in progress people). I made him when I first heard the song The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy. So his voice would be something like Patrick Stump with maybe a bit of Chester Bennington from Linkin Park and Michael Barnes from Red. Obviously he’s really into rock music and he likes rap as well as some pop.

21. Your most artistic OC

Technically Chase. The rest of em are goons. Elliot doodles somewhat but that’d when he’s not paying attention in class or procrastinating

22. Is there any OC of yours people tend to mischaracterize? If yes, how?

I wouldn’t know since not many people know about them

23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?

With complete honesty, none of my OCs have really changes much since I’ve made them. Design, yeah, but they have the same personality and goals and stuff.

24. If you could meet one OC of yours, who would it be and why?

Elliot or Chase. They’re both dumb and I love them.

25. The OC that resembles you the most (same hobby, height, shared like/dislike for something etc?)

Kara. When I made her in elementary I was basically trying to make myself seem more interesting...

26. Have you ever had to change your OC’s design or something else about them against your will?

Nope. All the changes I’ve done are my own choices.

27. Any OCs that were inspired by a certain song?

Buddy, a lot of my OCs are based on songs. My problem is that I don’t remember most of them...

Mike - Basketcase by Green Day

Chase - The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy

Mia - Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia

Bonnie - Cake by Melanie Martinez

28. Your most dangerous OC?

Realistically, Mia. She’s a spy and analyzes all situations with caution.

Fantasy wise, Bellona and her brother. They use their magic with little to no regard for other life.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they’re going?

I would say Elliot but he’s a little turd so he’d tell everyone just to act like a tough guy.

30. Which one of your OCs would most likely have a secret stuffed animal collection?

Mia. The semi stoic ones always have a soft side.

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)

Chase would have a social blog that probably promotes his band and there’s a bunch of selfies with him and his bandmates along with audio posts of their songs. Some grumpy Mike pictures are included.

32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why?

Mia. Since she’s a spy she’s got all the training to survive and she’s been trained mentally to adapt to situations. There’s a chance she’ll scream at some point though.

33. Your shyest OC?

Elliot. He’s very socially awkward.

34. Do you have any twin characters?

Debating wether to give Kara a twin brother. I dabbled in wether I wanted a girl or boy and I can have both if they’re siblings. Still indecisive about it though.

Might be repetitive though since Bellona and her brother are twins as well.

35. Any sibling characters?

Mike and Chase aren’t related by blood, but they have a sort of bond like siblings.

36. Do you have OC pairs where the other part belongs to someone else (siblings, lovers, friends etc)?

I’m not sure I understand the question.

37. Introduce an OC who is not quite human

Kara and Jasper are both shapeshifters. Kara originally turned into a black wolf but after the attack on her family, her fur is black and white. Jasper can turn into a red wolf. Bellona and her brother know magic and are able to turn into dragons.

38. Which one of your OCs would be the best dancer?

I’m thinking that Mike was sent to ballet or some sort of fancy dance classes. Meanwhile I have another OC that GETS DOWN AT THE CLUB.

39. Introduce any character you want

Jasper isn’t talked about much so uh. Yeah he’s a shapeshifter and acts much like a protective older brother towards Kara. He’s got a hint of Jakob from Fire Emblem Fates to his personality when it comes to Kara. He’s a typically polite young man and he tried to hide his emotions a lot of the time. He can be very caring and kind depending on the person though.

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share!

When I first drew Mike, my friend said he was hot. It was during theatre my freshman year.

41. Has anyone drawn fanart of your OCs? If yes, maybe show a picture or two here (remember sources & permissions!)

@whimsicalsnail has, but they’re buried deep in our tumblr convo

42. Which one of your OCs would be the most interested in Greek gods?

hmm probably Chase

43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confess

I’m gonna be honest, I consider all of my OCs attractive and I would probably date the dudes. I’m guily of same face syndrome too probably.

44. Something you like about your OCs in general

I like that i’m able to make them and that I don’t always have to draw fanart to feel satisfied

45. A character you no longer use?

I use all of them...in due time...some more than others...

46. Has anyone ever told you that you treat your OCs badly?

I DON’T TELL PEOPLE ABOUT MY OCS SO NO....

47. Has anyone ever (friendly) claimed any of your OCs as their child?

I don’t tell people enough...@whimsicalsnail probably has

48. OC who is a perfect cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure

Either Chase or Kara

49. Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes

Elliot. He’s a college student, of course he’d be too into memes.

50. Give me the good ol’ OC talk here. Talk about anything you want

I usually create OCs based on songs, even if I can’t remember them all. There are a few songs that i’d relate to my OCs and think of them when listening to them. Kara is basically my self insert into the fiction world and I am ashamed but it’s too late now. I hope they all don’t have the same kind of personality too....

If you’re interested in any of my OCs, I’ll gladly do some doodles of them to show you what they look like!

@axioms-sassiest this took me almost an hour to do....why.....
