#appearance-based tasks are really quite trippy if complete facial blindness is thrown into the mix

[dustylovelyrun]

Hey, I just had the oddest thought.

Not like an odd-odd sort of thought, but more along the veins of something that ‘hey, neato, a lot of people might actually do that’ but you, as a person, never quite do, and thus forget is a thing that can happen - 

But how many of y’all know what your ocs look like?

Just in general, or vague pieces?

I’m not sure if it’s just because it’s 6:18am and I’m not a morning person and have thus fallen into idle and very belated realizations as a direct result, but it’s starting to occur to me that when @ieppiq tagged me in a picrew thing in 2020 that it might’ve been because everyone else lowkey might know.

#also! #ieppiq! #I still don't know what any of my characters really look like? #I did try to make a good go of it. Clearly we can both see I was quite unsuccessful though #I'm really sorry that I never actually ended up positing anything for it #I think I was trying to do Slipping Around characters for the tag since I knew a couple of vague details about the characters #but there wasn't any. Foundation? if that makes sense. there were no foundation features for the other things to meld into #appearance-based tasks are really quite trippy if complete facial blindness is thrown into the mix #like - huang has electrical scarring across her entire body. a bit like a human lightning rod. then it branches out #I know that Giselle Thomas has a perpetual fear of ceiling fans because her hair floats upwards and not down #and that Huang's younger brother has electrical and fire burns due to the hazardous combination of them being in the same house #and how each of their magic just seems to gravitate to sparky-ouchy things #and for stuff like viva - white hair. purple magics. I think Declan's on the tanner side but Jezabel's absolutely spooked people because she #tends to bleed into the background unless she makes a physical effort to do otherwise. but I've never been able to tell if that was physical #or just a side effect of what happens in the wip #i kind of ended up just drawing in little details to an elsewise blank humanoid figure and abandoning it at some point #and did it by hand because I never figured out how piccrew worked lol
