hi . i (technically) have a minecraft oc (its minecraft story mode but shh) and her entire deal is that she managed to tame phantoms . and the way it happened is kind of funny
a juvenile phantom whacked into the windows of her house, breaking the glass but also injuring itself and she has little to no impulse control so she helps the poor thing (soft spot for animals … goes on to become a mob tamer at some point)
phantom recovers . acts a bit like those scared little cats that arch their back and prance around but it warms up to her eventually and shes like “:) aww” and once it’s all healed she walks outside and sends it away so it rejoins the other phantom colony
2 days later my girl wakes up to the entire phantom population outside her house (/j it’s actually just around a dozen)
(In my stupid silly mcsm au i gave phantoms the fun feature of having REALLY impressive vocal chords. mainly for the reasons of 1: luring in prey via distress calls (like a guy screaming for help or the sound of an injured dog), and 2. communication)
the juvenile she helped thought that she was very much a reliable food source yes because she often fed it and nurtured it to the best of her abilities so the thing goes back to it’s family and is all like “FOOD SOURCE . NO DANGER”
a couple months later she gets obsessed w studying these guys because they’re surprisingly lovely if you get past the horrid shrieking and needle teeth they have
(she also modifies her elytra so she fixes it up using phantom scales instead of having to kill them for membrane and it gave some …. interesting side effects)
!!! :O so neat??? MCSM counts as minecraft it's in the MCU (minecraft cinematic universe) in my head, so heck yeah!!! I wish I played it more than I did before it was taken off of a lot of platforms TwT
I adore this idea of phantoms having like. similar vocal capabilities to parrots and whatnot, that'd make the "I haven't slept for three days in a row and now I'm hearing voices outside of my house at night" thing a whole lot neater!! And befriending them too?? I'd like to see what phantom scales would look or feel like, and what effects they'd have on elytra instead of membrane! I feel like it'd make your elytra a little heavier-feeling, or look more like ender dragon wings than standard elytra :thinking:
I'm also very much a bird person so seeing like 12 phantoms outside your house one day after you give one food is so endearing to me. like, come here let me look at how cool you are!! And the mental imagery of a phantom completely smashing through a window in the middle of the night is very hilarious but if I were your oc in this situation I might've screamed myself awake at the noise.
Reminds me I need to make a phantom design or two, I've never figured out how to draw them! So freakin' cool though!! I wanna stay on model as I can, but sometimes I get a little excited. I think they should have little feet as a treat. Phantoms perching... beloveds
Anyways. throwing words at you. heart eyes. thank you for telling me I adore you

Hello, I have been thinking of making the clone gang into my OCs for a while now ( kinda inspired by Mortified because it's a great fanfic, I love me some characters we see for 1 min being utilised and explored ) so I kinda just... Did.
Ok so here are my bois, first I shall show a group line-up, then I introduce them in segments.
Sound good? Ok, here they are!
Tumblr media
These are the clone squad in human form, though I'm still debating on whether they are hypothetical forms, or if they're all halfas like Dani.
Also I have never really drawn Danielle, so she may look wonky until I get the hang of it lol
Anyway, introductions:
Tumblr media
This man is Dante, he's the skeleton ghost, and I based his design off of two things: his nose looks like it would be different than Danny's, and he had a bedsheet.
So therefore, he gets wavy hair, and a similar build to Danny, except his nose is different and I tried to define his brows and their wrinkles a bit more ( I don't know how to explain it better )
Dante is quite possibly the most laid back from the clone squad because there really weren't any expectations he had to deliver on, unlike his siblings.
He's the second oldest, which means Vlad was just ok with him existing because he was still getting the hang of the whole cloning thing.
This means he had time to work on his hobbies, like art and gardening and just wind down after Vlad inevitably did something terrible.
He has leg prosthetics but because I was too excited to post, so I haven't figured out how to draw them yet, so for now he has long pant legs.
He's the mom friend of the gang, will frequently drag the rest of them out of their pods for bonding time because he knows they can get caught up in their problems.
They poke fun at him for his ' bedsheet ghost ' routine but he thinks it's funny and he's vibing, so they just kinda accept it. He actually uses the spooky voice too, just because.
He's the ' We have food at home ' sibling along with Dorian, but can switch to ' McDonalds ' sibling when he wants to make Danielle happy •^•
Tumblr media
Now these two.
Oh, boy.
These two are traumatized let me tell you that.
Let's start with Dorian, who for the purposes of my sanity will be Dan level beefy instead of his canon beefiness. Just because I couldn't figure out how to draw it, and it's my design so screw it.
I had the idea of him looking like Jack because he's the oldest sibling so Vlad accidentally tapped into some genetics he probably didn't like.
As you can probably guess, Vlad is not his biggest fan.
Dorian is just the sweetest boi. He's the Jazz of the squad. Often ignores himself and accidentally becomes the therapist friend when there's nobody there to help him set his boundaries.
He's really into social justice, reading, and also rock/metal music ( because why not, it fits his ghost aesthetic too )
He just wants the best for his siblings, even though he's painfully aware Vlad is just... Vlad.
He will not hesitate to curb stomp you if you become a threat to his family, and while he's very patient, the clone gang has sorta given him a sixth sense for detecting mischief.
I'm serious, he walks into a room and just knows they did something.
He chooses to wear formal adjacent clothing himself, it isn't Vlad that made him do it. He feels comforted by the routine of styling himself.
Now, Dominic: I'm gonna put the pic back here for reference.
Tumblr media
This lil man
He is just... Full of anger. And issues.
First, his design was meant to have a lot of triangular shapes to kinda match Danny's, as well as to bring more attention to his face.
His eye is just gone in human form as well. It falls off constantly, so he doesn't bother and just carries it in a pouch in his pocket. Dorian finds that understandably disturbing, and Dante is somewhere between ' I can make eye puns when he brings it up ' and ' dude I wish my brother would have better care for himself '.
He's the third clone, and Vlad's favourite until Danielle happened. Unfortunately, because we can't have nice things, he's constantly unstable in ghost form, and because of that Vlad pushed him hard enough for him to develop the shrinking, purely out of his want to disappear and hide.
Dominic despises Vlad from the bottom of his heart, because unlike with Dani, Vlad didn't bother hiding his disappointment and loopiness when it came to his ' almost perfect son '
He's pretty jaded because of this, and he swore to himself that Dani would not suffer like he did, so he allowed himself to get blackmailed into behaving by Vlad. Basically the deal was that Dominic would obey without question, and Dani will be happy and oblivious to the fact he literally doesn't care.
Later on, Vlad tells him that he'll have Danielle overshadow Danny, but he volunteers instead because he knows it won't end well, and he's absolutely right. Vlad probably knew this so he told him specifically so his ' problem child ' wouldn't be a problem.
He would literally fight anyone, despite the fact he has bad depth perception, a lack of real offensive abilities, and an incredible lack of solidity/stability.
He probably waits for the summer with anticipation because he can fire tiny ectoblasts at Vlad and pretend it was mosquitoes.
Besides all the angst and trauma, he has a passion for theatre and mischief. He and Dani are incredibly close and prank everyone. Dominic probably taught her the ' faint to get out of a difficult conversation ' trick.
He can't talk in tiny form, it just sounds like bells ( like Tinkerbell )
Dante probably teases him for ' doing puberty wrong ' and Dominic strikes back with digs against the ' bedsheet ghost routine '. They're vibing.
Dorian and Dominic are also Metal/Rock music buddies and will listen to music together while Dorian is reading some book or other. Dominic is incredibly grateful to have his support despite all the headaches his mischief cause, and he often serves as Dorian's ' boundaries cheerleader ' so to speak.
He's the ' One black coffee ' sibling if you hadn't noticed. Only he'd probably hand it to Danielle because she's his partner in crime.
Now Dani herself, she absolutely adores her brothers. She doesn't understand why Vlad doesn't, but she thinks she can change his mind because he ' likes ' her. Then when he calls her brothers ' mistakes ' she goes ' ok I can't, but if he stabilises me, I can maybe save them too ' because she's precious like that .
Unfortunately, things don't work that way, and so when she leaves Amity park she's kinda confronted with the realisation that ' oh damn, I actually helped murder Dorian, and Dominic wouldn't help Vlad without good reason so he probably took my place ' and that's not exactly a pleasant realization.
The reason she doesn't come back for help earlier than D-stabilized is actually because of guilt. She doesn't feel like she deserves the help after what happened. Then she reminds herself that her brothers wanted her to be happy and goes off to find Danny.
I know this was a lot of angst, so here, have some sketches to balance it out OwO
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm thinking I also have them come back as ghosts because I want my children to be happy together, but I haven't figured out unique ghost designs for them yet. It feels cheap giving them their clone designs when they're now their own people yknow?
Thank you for reading all this, I'm really happy to finally share my bois with the Phandom •^• if y'all have any thoughts or questions feel free to share.
I'm just glad I did this because doing character design in the DP style is fun, especially considering how Dorian and Dante's facial features had to be built on top of skeletal/unfinished structure ( their noses in particular ) so that was exciting to figure out (ㆁωㆁ)

Here she is!!! I finally got round to drawing her again and I’m actually relatively happy with how she turned out. She is one of my favourite ocs and I love her to bits - I made her almost a year ago when I was thinking about some random EctoLoader headcanons and suddenly had the urge to give them a child...and so then she was designed :D I wasn’t sure if I wanted to post my initial designs as well because I really don’t like the look of my old art but you know why not:
Tumblr media
Please keep in mind that these are quite old and um...not that brilliant but they were my first quick sketches of her and I ended up writing a whole entire backstory for her so yeah! (Now that I look back at it I realise I didn’t make her hair poofy enough in the new drawing...also the page ripped and I was really sad about that-) anyway here’s some info about her (under the cut because it ended up a little longer than I expected):
AH I forgot to say!! There are mentions of death and severe injury and other stuff like that in the backstory so please read with caution!
Name -> Yuna Makimi
Age -> 17
Quirk -> “Adapt” - her quirk allows her to adapt certain parts of her body to suit whatever situation she is in. A main example of this would be when she creates little pads on the ends of her fingers which pick up vibrations, enabling her to “see” her surroundings a little better. However she cannot use her quirk to restore parts of her body that are lost/severely damaged (like her legs + eyes).
Occupation -> Student at UA
Current status -> Alive
Family -> Mother (deceased), Father (deceased), Powerloader (adopted dad), Ectoplasm (adopted dad)
Likes -> Dumplings, sitting in flower fields, doing literally anything with her friends + family
More info + backstory:
So, like I mentioned, I came up with her when I was thinking about EctoLoader headcanons and one of these hcs is that after Ecto loses his legs they both go round and pay visits to hospitals and other places to visit the children/patients there - and so yeah.
Yuna was part of quite the loving family, her parents were quite strict but loved her to pieces.
They weren’t the richest of people, and didn’t get along with the rest of their family for whatever reasons, but they were fine together - just the three of them.
That is until the accident that completely changed her life.
At the age of 8 she was caught up in a nasty villain attack as they were driving through the city and their car was completely destroyed. Her parents died at the scene and she was immediately whisked to hospital with very severe injuries.
She lost both her legs and almost all sight in her eyes, her parents were dead and she had nowhere to go, and at such a young age she felt so lost.
2 years passed and still nobody wanted to take her in, they said it would be “too much responsibility” to look after someone like her. And so at that point she had given up on all hope if someday being in a loving family again. Only 10 years old and her life had completely crumbled to pieces.
That is until one day PL swings by on one of his visits and meets this small child who looks as if she never smiles. He speaks to her and she slowly became less shy of this small man that sat in front of her. He decided to visit more often (he was made aware of her situation by one of the nurses that looked after her) and told Ecto all about this sweet little girl who he’d met who was in need of a better life. And over time they contemplated taking her in as their own - they weren’t sure yet but they had thought about it.
One day PL came with a surprise. He had put together a pair of prosthetic legs for her that she had mentioned to him before that she wished she had and that wasn’t all, they mentioned that this time Ecto came along too. She was absolutely overjoyed. She had heard about him and looked up to him a lot, he inspired her to keep going, even though she had lost her legs.
After discussing it with each other, they asked her whether she would be happy to come and live with them, and join a loving family once again. She was taken aback by the offer, as no one had even considered looking after for 2 whole years, but she realised that she was finally offered a normal life again and she was oh so happy with that...and so they adopted her and it was the best decision they ever made.
They helped her get used to her new home and she slowly got more and more comfortable with her new life. Ecto helped her with her therapy, guiding her when she felt lost and confused about what she’s doing. PL helped by tweaking little things about her prosthetics that could help her, and created little items to support her in her walking and her sight. They helped her discover new ways of using her quirk to allow her to be more aware of her surroundings and to help her “see” (she can’t use it to see fully, it just helps her to pinpoint the movements and positions of the objects/people around her a little better).
Soon enough, she was happier than ever, and when she was old enough she brought up her decision of wanting to go to UA. They weren’t sure whether or not she should, for her own safety, but she insisted that even with her disabilities she wanted to try her best at becoming a hero just like them in her own way...even if others believed it was barely possible. And so they allowed it. They taught there anyway so if anything were to happen they would always be close by.
She made a bunch of amazing friends at UA and learnt to handle her quirk in many different ways - expanding it to help her in various different situations. Her classmates would always be there to help her when she needed it but all believed that she was one of the strongest out of all of them - this really made her emotional because it wasn’t something that she ever expected to hear - and hearing this really made Ecto and PL happy, because they had watched as this tiny helpless girl had grown up to become strong, happy and incredibly loved.
And that’s my “little” backstory for her! Sorry its a bit sad and all that but it wouldn’t be one of my backstories if it wasn’t some form of tragic....:/ Anyway have some random headcanons for her->
She cannot ride in a car unless she is holding someone’s hand, this is pretty self-explanatory.
She loves jokes and stupid puns, they make her so incredibly happy it’s unbelievable.
She also loves flowers - they smell nice.
She isn’t entirely blind - she can just about make out shapes and moving objects but without the aid of her quirk she finds it hard to tell the difference between what might be a person and what might just be a large object.
She loves to sing and dance, and she has a beautiful voice, however she gets embarrassed if she gets caught.
She is always happy to spend any sort of time with her dads because with their jobs as heroes, free time can sometimes be very hard to come by.
Sorry how absolutely all over the place this is, I have plenty more headcanons and info about her, but I think I’ve rambled on for quite long enough now! (Plus I kinda just want to post it now because the more I look at the drawing the less I like it-)
Anyway, I hope you like her! She is one of my favourite characters that I’ve made and she makes me very happy. Hopefully, I’ll draw her some more :)

20 MORE asks?? :DD Thanks you guys!!
Tumblr media
Bash Buggy would put the entire popsicle in his mouth, bite down and try to pull the popsicle stick out. Usually it works and he would start freaking out because its too cold, he would then try to chew it really fast and swallow it. Just resulting in his mouth being even colder. 
He does this every single time despite it usually being an unpleasant experience.
Tumblr media
Same here. I was hesitant to draw it at first but eventually gave in. I’m so glad I did XD.
Tumblr media
Well, its going better than last time at least. Although people have stopped voting..
Two characters have made it to 5 votes, and most others stand at 3 or 4 votes. I think those are as many votes I’m going to get unfortunately so I’m just going to have to work with what I have.. votes are still open though! :}
Tumblr media
Thank you very much!! ♡♡♡ I’m a little better today.
I am self taught, and have been drawing for as long as I can remember. Some of my oldest memories are drawing related. So about 10+ years or so? I know, its a little embarrassing that I’ve only come so far in 10 years. Although I suppose for most of those years I was very young and didn’t know what I was doing sooo...
Anyway, I got some helpful tips from a very talented relative and went to a class that taught me stuff I had already taught myself, but that’s about it. Everything else was stuff I learned myself. :}
Tumblr media
No I haven’t heard of him, but now I have and I’m addicted XD
Tumblr media
I have 17 Decepticon OCs so far and 1 Autobot that have yet to be drawn.
I haven’t drawn any of the Cons character reference sheets yet, but I hope to someday. The closest I got to drawing a proper picture of one of them was this drawing with Big Blue.
Tumblr media
(Big Blue looks like this in alt mode btw 👇)

You mean these guys? Man.. its been a hot minute since I’ve thought about them.
Well, hmm.. I’m not sure what I can talk about.. Maybe I can refresh you on the general story?
Okay so, the two kids Nokah and Aneal lived on a little island together with their mom and dad. Sometime when they were very little, their mom passed away from some kind of illness. Later on, their dad was killed in a raid where slave traders came in and took all the villagers they could and killed those that stood in their way. Their dad being one of them.
They stuck together thankfully and were brought from place to place until they were eventually sold and were on a ship that was going to take them to their new owners.
While they were sailing, a pirate ship showed up and began to raid the slave ship.
Captain Arthur, the red parrot guy, found these two kids below deck and rescued them. The kids were fed, cleaned and clothed. After they settled, they told the prates their story. The pirates discussed the situation and decided that they cant just keep the kids, they have to bring them to their own kind where they can have a long and prosperous life. Because the life of a pirate is no life for a child.
So off they go, to an island pretty darn far away to take these kids to an orphanage that is populated with with species similar to theirs.
By the time they got there, the kids and the crew got attached to each other. But Arthur pushed on, wanted to do what was best for the children. This part of the story is foggy, but something broke the camels back for Arthur. He couldn’t bare to part with the kids for one reason or another and brought them back to his ship, officially making them pirates and valued crew members.
There’s more to the other characters that I have built.. Like how Arthurs ship belonged to his mother and he grew up on it. Him moms ship is one of 3 very beautiful and rare ships that were way past their time when it came to architecture and technology.
After his mother died, his ship was stolen and sold away to some hawk guy or something. Solomon, the blue parrot, was one of his employees and was put in charge of the ship. Arthur started working for the hawk guy and was eventually promoted to one of the cleaning crew guys who was supposed to clean his moms ship. No one knew the ship rightfully belonged to Arthur.
He gained Solomon's trust and kissed the ground he walked on to make him let his guard down. Solomon wasn’t supposed to leave the ship under anyone else’s watch, but he did. He was lazy and told Arthur to watch the ship for that night. Arthur could be trusted with the ship couldn’t he? Of course he can be trusted. What’s the worst that could happen?
The next day Arthur and his mothers ship were gone without a trace. Solomon’s reputation was ruined and he got a real harsh talking to about how stupid it was of him to let the ship fall in someone else’s hands.
Don’t feel bad for Solomon, he’s a really nasty and narcissistic character, he deserved that. Anyway, Arthur got away with his mother’s ship finally and chose to become a pirate to protect it. He slowly built a crew of people that he considered family and has been sailing the world ever since.
Him and his crew are always on the move, his ship is very desired so its raided very often. And Arthur is pretty sure that Solomon is still out there somewhere.. looking for him. So because of these factors, Arthur ever doesn’t leave his ship. Despite how bad that is physically and mentally for a bird.
His crew will go to an uninhabited island and just take a break for a few days on the beach. But Arthur?.. I mean, he might fly around for a bit or go for a walk on the sand, but ultimately he’ll just stay on deck where he can monitor his ship.
There’s other things too, like how Solomon catches up to them with a small fleet of ships and stuff like that.. buuuut I feel like I’m rambling a bit too much..
I’m very glad you remembered my OCs and were interested enough to ask about them. Feel free to ask any more questions about them if there’s anything else you want to know! ♡മ◡മ♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hug??
Also thank you, I’m very glad you love it! (♡´౪`♡)
Tumblr media
Thank you! :} My top favorite cartoon shows, 1 being top and 5 being bottom are..
Gravity Falls
Transformers Prime
Spongebob
Octonauts
Beetle Baily
Don’t judge, I know they’re all mostly kids shows... I would’ve added The Three Stooges in Transformers Prime’s place, but that’s not a cartoon..
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ALL OF THE THANK YOU’S!!!
I’m so flattered that you think I’m a wonderful artist! I really do try to make things look nice, and I’m glad you see that. :}
When it comes to dedication, I surprised myself with how long I’ve stuck with these characters so far, usually I’d loose passion by now. :o Same with the designs too! I have no idea how I was able to make them. But I’m glad you like them none the less. ,,●ᴗ●,, 
When it comes to patience? I guess I just.. I don’t know, XD Normally I don’t have much of it. I guess the real life connection I have to the real cars helps out my patience when it comes to drawing them..? None the less, I’m glad that you noticed!
I know drawing machinery and drawing it consistently can be very hard. I suppose you just need to have a reference on hand and try your best to mimic it.
And yeah, clearly I am very sensitive, but don’t worry about your comment! I took it as a compliment. :} Other people seem to think that I’m a kind and sensible person who deserves happiness, so it must be true! X3
Anyway, thank you for all the lovely compliments and the good luck wish with my job, I’m probably going to need it. I appreciate all that you’ve said and am very flattered! ♡ඩᴗඩ♡
Tumblr media
I have heard of the movie and how great it is, but I have not seen it yet. :/ I plan to though! It looks very pretty. :}
Tumblr media
Well, a long time ago sometime after the show had been completed, I stumbled into the fandom. I ended up really liking Ford as a character to the point I was convinced to watch the show. And of course, I got addicted XD
When it comes to my favorite episodes? Hmm.. I really like Carpet Diem, and Headhunters. Although I’m sure there are more that I like. :}
Tumblr media
Thank you. Honestly my first day was 100% fine, I just got emotional for no reason afterwards and cried a lot. I blame the 2 hours of sleep.
When it comes to my very first OC? It would be impossible to tell.. I have been drawing for a very long time and my memory simply doesn’t go back that far.
So.. I cant show you my first one for sure.. however.. quite a while back, I redrew some really old OCs I found. So these guys are SUPER old. I can show you them at least. :}
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yikes, I had no idea what I was doing back then did I?
When it comes to most attached to, that is always changing so I cant say for sure.
Tumblr media
I actually am small enough that I can probably fit in a regular refrigerator freezer, but thank you for offering a different sized one. :}
Also, if the contents of my head are liquid now, wouldn’t making me cold or freezing me be bad?
Tumblr media
I have only watched Transformers: Prime and the Bayverse movies. I haven't finished Transformers: Prime yet though, I keep forgetting to..
I considered watching other adaptions once I was finished with Prime, but none of the art styles quite appeal to me..
Tumblr media
*You place the bucket and mop on the floor beside the puddle*
*The puddle moves away from the bucket and mop*
*You hear a muffled “I’m good, thanks.” beneath the puddle.*

(Referring to an older ask)

Also thank you, I’m very glad I finally got one. :}

Hobby: Surfing, Playing the guitar, DJ’ing
Talents: Shadow puppets,  Arcade games, Lock picking
Unique Magic: ink world
Ignatius has the ability to send people into an ‘ink world’  in their minds, which leaves them in a vulnerable and dazed state. To explain in detail, the person Ignatius uses his unique magic on, turns unresponsive as if they are in a trance. ( For example In the song “ You’re welcome” Moana was in a different (?) world in her head while her body was spun into a cave so that Maui could steal her boat. )
Appearance
Ignatius is Tall and pretty muscular, with naturally tanned skin. He has light cyan-ish eyes that are slightly pointed and upturned, his hair is white with strands of very pale blue hair, that is brushed back, he has a short blue braid hanging down the right side of his face. Ignatius has many ear piercings and Tattoos, ( on his upper body, neck, chest, arms ) he proudly displays them by wearing a black singlet, and an unbuttoned white collared shirt that is slightly pulled down to show off the tattoos he got on his shoulder. He wears black cargo pants that are secured with a black belt  and are tucked into military boots. His purple dorm ribbon is tied on one of the belt loops (?). He also dons many silver rings and an enchanted charm bracelet made by Kelly. 
Personality
Ignatius gives off a rather..hmm what’s that word...oh oh! F-boy impression, as he’s always teasing and seems to not be serious about anything, but he’s actually quite a sweetheart, going out of his way to help people he considers friends, though he may be quite mischievous and tactless. Ignatius is rather boastful and egotistical, which would usually lead people like him into trouble since he’s a quite rash person,  but he doesn’t get into physical fights, he usually uses his unique magic to just embarrass the person in some way. Though Ignatius make act like a dumb dumb sometimes, he’s actually really smart, both street smart and academically, in terms of grades he comes in fourth place in his level. He can be rather perceptive too and will show care and concern for those he cares about, but mostly prefers to keep things fast-paced and silly rather than emotional or serious. 
Backstory
Ignatius’s mother remarried a wealthy business man a few years after Ignatius was born. ( Ignatius’s father passed away before he was born) As Ignatius’s step-father didn’t have any kids of his own, he doted a lot on Ignatius, thus spoiling him a lot. Ever since Ignatius was young he showed a lot of potential and talent of being a good wizard, thus receiving a lot of praise from his parents, teachers, and friends. This soon got to his head, and he became very arrogant and disrespectful towards people he considered ‘lower’ than himself, he lost a lot of friends in the process, and was out casted by most of them. At first Ignatius  acted like he was fine with people ignoring him, though he actually felt a bit lonely inside. Soon he grew tired of people out casting him but was too prideful to apologize, so he decided to play truant, his mindset was changed after meeting an ‘angel’ during one of his escapes.
Trivia
-Ignatius is ambidextrous but prefers to use his left hand.
-He has 10 ear piercings in total, and over 16 tattoos
-He got his first tattoo at 13 years old ( His mother screamed at him when she found out )

( I wanted to use this as her surname as I wanted her to be pretty  I wanted this to symbolize how she’s good at singing, like how linnet birds are known for their melodious voices.)

Unique Magic: Lucky Stars 
Kelly’s Unique Magic is called “Lucky Stars”. This ability gives her an automatic and continuous supply of good luck, she’s able to use this ability by saying  “ Star light, star bright, The first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight” , whenever she recites this things will always turn in her favor, be it a test or a battle, her wishes will always come true, she is able to project this into her charm bracelets, though it’s not as effective and acts more like warding charm, she’s only able to use her unique magic for a total of 40 minutes in a day, as it takes a lot of magic and effort to keep it up.
Appearance
Kelly is short and petite, with a very fair complexion. She has long pastel pink hair that is styled in a half-up do tied with her dorm ribbon, her hair ends below her butt. She has big doe like eyes that are a pale cyan, which are framed by long and thick eyelashes.(very pretty! I wanna be pretty too~~) She has a very innocent doll-like appearance. She wears grey checkered uniform ( uniform in the picture! but the skirt ends around her mid-thigh) with a ribbon of her dorm colour, tied around her collar and is secured with a white and gold brooch, she wears black mary jane shoes with lacey white ankle socks.  She has a very ethereal-angel-ish vibe overall. 
Personality
Kelly is very kind and understanding person, accepting everyone as they are and doesn’t judge anyone, she’s a passionate altruist, warm and selfless, sometimes even to a fault. However, Kelly is quite manipulative, she’s gifted in people reading and is natural-born leader, full of passion, charismatic charm and a natural confidence that begets influence, she isn’t always manipulating people to hurt them or for personal gain, she simply wants people to do more or better because it will benefit them or help them realize some potential. She’s likeable and trustworthy and, as a result, others are generally compelled to listen and follow her. Though Kelly can and will purposely manipulate those who treat her friends badly. Kelly has good control of her behavior and words, but she will purposely snap to those who try to use her or her friends, before simply covering up her actions with her silver tongue. “ Can’t you put on a better show for me? pretty please!” * Smiles cutely*  Despite having a natural confidence, she defines her self-esteem by whether she’s are able to live up to others’ ideals, so she’s quite insecure, always wondering about what she could’ve done better. If she fails to meet a goal or people’s expectations of her, her self-confidence will undoubtedly plummet.
Backstory
Kelly came from quite a normal family, if having renowned parents were considered normal at least, her father was a famous fashion designer and her mother, a world-wide known actress, both ‘fell in love’ after Kelly’s mother was scouted as the main model for her father’s brand.  Since Kelly’s parents were very prominent people in the entertainment world, she been in the spotlight since she was born. As both of Kelly’s parents were workaholics, she was often brought along business trips and photoshoots, she was famous among scouters for her beauty and sweet voice, thus it wasn’t long before Kelly herself was offered contracts. One of her contracts required her to go to the Land of Pyroxene for an advertisement, where she met a peculiar boy.
Trivia
- Kelly has a insanely high spice tolerance, she can probably eat a Carolina reaper like it’s a snack.
- Kelly doesn’t know how to use social media so she doesn’t have a magicam account...(yet)

Oh! Oh! For the mutual thing, in relating to tss, who would be a light side and who would be a dark side? Would any of them kinda be like Virgil who changed sides? Or maybe opposite? If you wanna go further, what would they represent too?
Alright Anon, I hope you know you inspired something amazing. Mutuals, I have here Sanders Sides OCs with each and every one of you in mind, including Icons (which is why this took a while to finish). Anyway, I hope you enjoy them and feel free to draw or write with them, and maybe come up with some ideas or designs for my own (Because I couldn't figure out a good fit to make a OC for me). Here we go, and I hope you guys enjoy! <3
Let's start out with the creativity twins (Two sides of creativity):
@h-ad3s - Instinct (Dark Side)
Tumblr media
• Instinct represents the wild, spontaneous side of creativity - like painting or writing your feelings out, when you do something just because you want to.
• Very Impulsive at times, and because of their reckless nature can get the (what do you call it? Thomas part?) 'Thomas' in trouble a lot, leading to everyone pegging them as a dark evil troublemaker
• As with their twin, Instinct can turn into a animal at will - theirs is a raccoon.
• Found late at night rummanaging through or sleeping in garbage. 'Why, Inst? You have a bed!' 'Because. The funny smells calm me, plus I wanted to.'
• Has eaten glitter, glue, bar soap, and even a ceramic mug (No one knows how they ate the mug to this day.)
• But, when feeling sad or someone else is sad, they usually are found in raccoon form cuddled up in Protection or Imagination's lap, sleeping.
@dee-ree-vee - Passion (Light Side)
Tumblr media
• Passion represents the creating for creation's sake side of creativity. They create not based solely on emotion, but because it brings them happiness to create. Passion represents just happiness and drive for any hobby, and the drive to improve. As well as, you guessed it, passion in Relationships as well - weather it be platonic, familial, or romantic.
• Despite being told to stay away from Instinct because they're dangerous, and that they were the 'better creativity', they still try to chat and connect with them because of their past closeness feeling like family.
• They can turn into a cat at will like Instinct, and usually use the form to sneak out and meet Instinct in the 'Creativescape', a middle between the darkscape and the mindscape, where they are crowned ruler.
• They love free time of any kind, and enjoy the constant creative drive with weekends or holiday breaks, and are usually the ones who come up with gift ideas or little surprises for Friends, Family, or SOs.
• Can get overwhelmed by expectations of always doing things right and never making a mistake, in that way being slightly jealous of their twin.
• Their favorite thing to do is help make dreams with Imagination and fight off nightmares, sometimes even Instinct joining to help.
@lightyagamisqueen - Protection (Dark side)
Tumblr media
• Protection represents Fight or Flight as well as Anxiety, but also white lies at times to take the pain away, to protect. The lies leading them to become a Dark Side.
• Has a very hard time relaxing, leading them to get burnout quite often from their overly taxing job, and Instinct, being the only other Dark Side and who knew them well would always be there to comfort when it all became a bit too much, or when Protection was so emotionally tired they broke down and cried.
• Likewise, Protection knew Instinct too well to always be there to hug and hold closely when they felt so abandoned and alone, even confessing to them once they wish they could stop the impulses but it hurts them physically to do so, and Instinct showed them their scars.
• Protection protects and stays up often at night in the real world to protect from monsters in the closet and to hold the 'Thomas' tightly when they got too scared. They live off of coffee and redbull.
• Once didn't sleep for almost two weeks for a cram finals session, and Instinct had to help them recover.
• Cannot watch horror movies, and usually gets overly anxious and worried walking home alone at night, especially in the city.
@pastel-candies - Inner Strength (Light Side)
Tumblr media
• Inner Strength represents Hope, and Strength to keep going when things get hard, as well as Positivity and a co-gatekeeper of emotions, the other being Inner Child. But, while Child's emotions are more fuzzy and less prominant, Inner Strength's are more intense, leading them to get very emotional at times. Also they represent ignorance, pushing bad emotions or negative thoughts away, thinking they're just getting rid of them and not realizing they're repressing.
• Has plant powers that are tied to emotions, meaning if they're happy, plants will grow around them, if they're sad or angry or upset, they turn into not just killing plants but also slightly life sucking when every other side gets close.
• Is the slightly more 'moral' one than the rest in being the one to get scared and think Instinct and Protection are being more hurtful than helpful and kick them out.
• Has their own little garden with a specific flower in their room that isn't fazed with her emotions, being infused with all the emotions that were too intense to handle, good and bad. They talk to the flower and vent when things get tricky.
• When the 'Thomas' is upset, Strength usually works with Protection sometimes when things get really low, but mostly the two switch off depending on the situation.
• Lately is having regrets and confusion over kicking the other two out, but doesn't know if inviting them back will hurt the 'Thomas'
• Is protective of Passion, Reason, and Inner Child and will do anything to make sure they're safe.
• I imagine them wearing a flower crown, I dunno-
@the-duke-of-deodorant - Reason (Light Side)
Tumblr media
• Reason represents and helps with the process of memory and new information, as well as the leader in solving any problems, math or otherwise.
• Reason values the truth above all else and makes sure the 'Thomas' knows the truth of any situation, despite and emotions they have at the moment, leaving them and Strength to butt heads a lot.
• I picture them with a black and white checkered tie...
• Geeks/Nerds out with Passion about Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. They often binge watch many movies and shows, and.. Even have their own code?
• Tries to be there during the emotional fallout Strength gets in, and usually is talking through their door, sometimes Strength's hand sneaks out when the door opens a bit for Reason to grab.
• Teaches Child about the world, leading them to grow into a pretty stable teenager, and the two share a very familial bond.
• Doesn't really understand the whole fear of Dark Sides and visits sometimes, even once helping out Protection during their burnout.
• Is prepared - always has a first aid kit handy and helped Raccoon Instinct when they got a nail stuck in their paw and couldn't transform back.
@antisocialdragonenby - Imagination (In the Middle)
Tumblr media
• Imagination is the main gatekeeper of all dreams and daydreams, and has complete creative control in the Creative scape, making anything they imagine in their mind come to life there.
• Could have been ruler of the Creative scape but turned it down, claiming it wasn't their style. Instead they live in a treehouse and chill.
• Probably the most calm in a crisis.
• Out of the Creative scape, they have a cloud they ride on and use for many things - spying on others, viewing past dreams, and viewing made up scenarios or dream scenarios they have, as well as just a hammock to nap on.
• Is well trained with their powers, and uses their imaginative strength to fight nightmares in the dreams that seem to be finding their ways in randomly.
• Is usually the one to go to for advice or just to rant to, closely followed by Reason. This is how they find out about everyone's problems, fears, and turmoil - like how Protection thought they were the ones who caused the nightmares, and Imagination calmly explained that it had nothing to do with them, that they just appear, and that it's their job to help.
• They're fun to hang around and go on adventures with. They like specifically going on adventures with Child, but will tag along with Passion and Instinct from time to time
And finally, @if-i-had-a-spoon - Inner Child (Light Side)
Tumblr media
• Inner Child repesents your childish side, as well as childhood memories and emotions. They're the only and first side to grow up from a child when the 'Thomas' is a teen, to a teen when the 'Thomas' is a adult. As a result they're babied sometimes and always treated as the youngest.
• They love looking at older memories and remebering them, although they panicked, figuring out the memories faded as they got older.
• Always a fan of candy, and squeals at cute pet and baby clothes, even making small accessories and gifts for Raccoon Instinct, whom they called 'The trash gremlin' when they were a toddler, and for Cat Passion, whom they just called 'Pretty'.
• Always tries to hold onto stuff from childhood, especially the "Thomas" 's old teddy bear, which they have a copy of for comfort.
• Now, as a teen, they love to write poetry and draw little baby animal sketches, and listen to MCR.
• Responsible for reminencing during random times.
• Although they look young, they're just as capable and smart as the others, fighting for the 'Thomas' to be truly happy, and to be there for everyone, light or dark side.
• I picture them with light purple headphones...
And that's everyone! I hope you guys like them!

Pairing: EZ Reyes x Camila (OC)
Warnings: Angel is pissed and Camila is worried 
Word count: 2.8k
***Wow, my ass actually posted on Wednesday and not 3 AM on Thursday morning  😂***
“So, how’s the garden, querida?”
Camila smiled and looked up at Bishop.
“It’s doing well. Flourishing. EZ and I planted a couple of new herbs and they’re starting to sprout. I may have full pumpkins by spring.”
The president nodded with a smile, as did Tranq who sat beside him at the bar as they watched Camila prepare their cups of coffee. Tranq’s voice rumbled as he spoke next.
“EZ and Angel say its beautiful back there.”
Camila’s smile was proud as she agreed.
“Not because it’s mine, but yeah it is. You guys should come by one day. Once it gets closer to spring, everything starts growing like crazy. Sometimes too fast for just me and the boys to eat. Whenever you want, you guys can come and pick some stuff.”
The men smiled warmly as Camila handed them their cups.
“We’ll be doing that soon then.”
Grabbing their mugs, they both stood from the bar and whistled, drawing the attention of the other members. Tranq nodded his head over towards el Templo, calling them.
“Let’s go.”
The scattered Mayans all stood and started making their way over, each stopping by the bar to grab their cup of coffee and take it in with them. Soon enough everything was quiet, and Camila began cleaning up, tossing the coffee covered spoon down into the sink. The metal clattered and over it, Camila heard a soft voice.
“Can I help?”
Turning around, she saw the redhead from the other day. A good handful of inches taller than Cam, and a more slender frame as well.
“Sure. Karlene, right?”
The girl's smile was wide and her already large, green eyes were wider as she nodded, quickly starting to help Cam clear the counter.
“Yeah, that’s me. Nice to meet you, finally. I’ve heard Angel and EZ talking about you a lot. Gilly too.”
Camila laughed softly as they thought about her boys, a bashful smile on her lips as she started wiping down the counter.
“They talk a lot period. Nice to meet you too. I love your hair.”
Karlene beamed and grabbed a handful of it, looking over the color.
“It’s not my natural color. It’s usually a bright red but it’s fading. I haven’t found the motivation to touch it up. It’s so messy and time-consuming.”
Camila nodded, understanding her struggle.
“My cousin used to have her hair like that, but she was always getting the dye everywhere, so I used to do it for her. I know how much determination it takes to keep it up.”
The girls laughed together and Karlene paused, looking over Cam for a moment as she continued to clean. She liked her, Camila having been nice to her from the beginning and not treating her any different than she treated anyone else in the club. Karlene didn’t have many friends, any really, and she couldn’t help but feel like maybe Camila would be a good one to have.
“Maybe one of these days you can do it for me.”
Camila looked away from the counter and over to the sweetbutt, who suddenly rubbed at the back of her neck and started back peddling.
“You don’t have to of course. I know EZ said you’re busy with the garden and the bookstore and everything like that, so I get it if you don’t,”
“I’ll do it.”
Karlene smiled as Camila cut her off, her shoulders relaxing as she saw the warm look on Cam’s face.
“Ok, cool. Whenever you’re free, no rush or anything.”
“This Thursday will be fine.”
The girls fell quiet after that, finishing their cleaning before grabbing some juice and heading outside, waiting for the MC to finish up and for EZ to finish stocking the back room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``  
“There she is.”
Camila looked away from her phone as she heard the door to the clubhouse open and the sound of Angel’s voice. She smiled immediately and stood from her seat on the steps, Angel’s arms opening for an embrace while Coco, Gilly, and EZ filed out behind him. Angel hugged her tightly, her lungs feeling a little restricted.
“I haven’t seen you in forever, Chiquita.”
Camila laughed and slipped out of his arms.
“It’s been three days, Angel.”
The group laughed as she hugged the rest of the boys before she got to EZ, last in line and wearing a grin.
“Hola, mami.”
EZ leaned down for a kiss while the others groaned and started to sit down at the outside table.
“Get a room.”
Karlene stood off to the side quietly, hands together as they hung in front of her before she waved at Camila.
“I’m gonna head back inside, sweep the floors.”
Camila turned away from EZ, her eyes following the new acquaintance who was already in the clubhouse before Camila could say anything. Looking back at EZ, she smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. His arms instinctively wound themselves around her waist and he listened as she questioned him.
“How long has she been around?”
EZ looked back at the door and then returned his gaze to Cam.
“Like a week or so. Why?”
Shrugging, Camila looked over EZ’s hair, the length having grown a little, a slight start of a curl at the front.
“She just seems like she could use a friend.”
The Prospect nodded and maneuvered Camila’s arms off him so he could sit down beside the others, pulling her down to sit on his lap. He pulled her legs across his thighs and held his hand to her lower back, keeping her in place.
“I know she keeps more to herself. She just moved last month I think.”
Angel nodded from his seat across the way, lighting up a cigarette and speaking around it as it hung from his lips.
“Yeah, she came from Colorado or some shit. Got into trouble with an ex, had to escape him. She works over at that strip club now, you know the one with the purple walls in the bathroom and blue lights?”
When he finally lit the tip, he looked up to find everyone’s eyes on him.
“What?”
Camila laughed as she looked at him.
“You go there often?”
Angel took a drag and shook his head.
“I mean not often,”
“Just often enough to know the décor of the bathrooms.”
He lifted his middle finger up to Camila with a smirk while the rest chuckled, the laughter dying down until there were a few moments of silence while everyone enjoyed the soft breeze. It was broken by Coco.
“Thanks for the strawberries by the way. I took some to my sister. She really liked them.”
Camila smiled brightly as she looked at him, a small tilt of her head.
“I’m glad. I’ll let you know when more grow enough to be sweet. I didn’t know you had a sister.”
Coco nodded in agreement, a slight hesitation that Camila didn’t catch.
“Yeah, she’s young, still a teenager.”
“I’m sure you’re the best big brother.”
Coco didn’t respond after that, simply looking down and pulling out his own cigarette to light. In the pocket of his kutte, EZ’s phone began to vibrate and he pulled it out, eyes locking on the screen as Camila looked down at his phone. It was an innocent action. She wasn’t doing it to snoop or invade, she was just curious and looked over the screen from her angle, instinct from him pulling it out. Before he could swipe to silence the call, Camila caught those same initials again.
E.T.
She remembered them from the other day when his phone had rung as well, and her curiosity spiked some. EZ quickly stuffed the phone back into his kutte and looked up at her with a smile, his hand making its way back to the small of her back where he gently dragged his fingers back and forth. She shrugged it off then and turned away, her eyes landing on Angel now to tease him some more over his memorization of the strip club design. When she did though she found his eyes already on them, or more so on his brother, no trace of a smile there anymore. She gave a small half-smile and he quickly forced a fake one back at her, as if she didn’t know him well enough to be able to tell the difference. Try as he might to hide it, there was annoyance in his face and before she could ask if he was alright, he stood from his seat, motioning to the group.
“Let’s go. We got shit to catch up on.”
He left it and that and the two patches stood, following him through the yard to the bikes. Looking down, Camila pointed to them as they walked away.
“Don’t you have to go with them?”
EZ winced and nodded, wishing he could stay with her.
“Yeah, I do, but I’ll see you tonight when I get home ok?”
Camila’s smile soothed him some and he took a breath, grateful that she clearly hadn’t put two and two together about who was calling him. From the bikes, Coco called out.
“Come on, boy scout!”
EZ patted his hand on Camila’s bottom and she stood, as did he. She smoothed her hands over the front of his kutte and looked up at him.
“I’ll head home, start getting everything ready for dinner. What time do you think you’ll be back?”
EZ hesitated, not wanting to give a time and then be late, having her waiting up for him. The sharp whistle Angel gave to rush him made him curse and she shook his head.
“Let’s say 7?”
With a nod, Camila pushed up and left a kiss to his lips.
“See you at 7.”
EZ nodded and pulled away from her, jogging over to the bikes while Cam headed to her car. The three members were already on their bikes and strapped into the helmets when EZ got to them, Angel eyeing his baby brother.
“Was that who I think it was?”
EZ squinted in confusion and Angel scoffed.
“Don’t play dumb. On the phone.”
EZ understood then and was short in his response.
“Yeah.”
Angel nodded to himself, his displeasure clear on his face at the verification. EZ wanted to say something, try to explain but he had no time. Angel quickly started the bike, the deafening rumble ceasing any conversation. EZ sighed and quickly finished strapping his helmet before starting his own bike and pulling out behind the rest. He would talk to Angel later when they had time and privacy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
Camila looked over at the clock again and sighed.
8:45PM
Her nerves were shot as she paced around the house. She had kept it warm until she realized that EZ was running more than just a little late.  She didn’t want to overcook it and had turned it off, opting to just reheat it when EZ came home in the next half hour. However, half an hour had turned into a full hour, then an hour and a half and now here she was, one hour and forty-five minutes of waiting and he still wasn’t home. She had called him a handful of times with no response, her calls simply going to voicemail. Her texts had gone unanswered as well and she was more than worried. After EZ had opened up some about the issue with KJ, Camila knew that there had to be more to the picture than EZ was letting on. The Feds didn’t simply give someone a reduced sentence from 35 years down to 8 without there being some valuable info they could get in exchange. What that info was, Camila wasn’t sure. What she was sure of was that it could very easily be dangerous business and EZ not answering his phone was a sign for her to be worried. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She didn’t want to jump to conclusions, but as a last resort, she figured she could try Angel. They had left together after all. Grabbing her phone from the counter, she unlocked it and clicked Angel’s name, holding the phone to her ear as it rang. He picked up on the third ring and Camila have a sigh of relief, thankful that at least he was ok.
“Hey, Cam.”  
“Hey, Angel. Sorry to bother you, I was just wondering when you guys would be finishing up. EZ said he’d be home around 7 for dinner and he hasn’t called to say he’d be late. I’ve been calling and he isn’t answering, and I was just worried.”
Camila gave a breathless laugh on her side of the phone, her nerves already feeling better now that she had heard Angel’s voice. Angel, however, was less than soothed, his jaw clenching as he sat on his couch, at home, alone. They had finished up with Adelita by 7:15 and had all gone their separate ways, EZ saying he would be heading home for dinner. Where the fuck he actually was, he didn’t know, but he did have a hunch. Remembering that Camila was still on the line, he suppressed a sigh.
“Yeah, we’re finishing up now. We just ran late. I’ll make sure he gets his ass home quick.”
Camila smiled, her shoulders relaxing.
“Gracias, Angel.”
He couldn’t hide his sigh this time and responded, his teeth still gritting together some.
“You’re welcome, Chiquita.”
They said their goodbyes and then Angel was immediately dialing Felipe’s number. If EZ wasn’t with him then he would start worrying about his safety. He was almost sure he would be there though; the father and youngest son having been spending more and more quality time together, excluding Angel. While it wasn’t something new, it still stung, and Angel didn’t bother with pleasantries when his father answered the phone.
“Hola, mijo.”
“Is EZ there with you?”
There was a slight pause before Felipe verified.
“Yes, we’re at the shop.”
Angel nodded on his end, more to himself as he knew that no one would see it. He couldn’t keep the edge from his voice as he replied.
“Yeah, well tell him to check his phone and go the fuck home so he can eat the dinner his girlfriend made for him.”
Felipe winced as Angel hung up and looked over at EZ who had his brows furrowed in confusion. Felipe placed the phone down and EZ spoke.
“What’s up?”
Felipe sighed and looked at the clock, pointing to it.
“Apparently you were supposed to be home for dinner.”
EZ’s eyes followed his father’s finger to the clock on the wall and he cursed, shooting up from his chair. He quickly dug around in his pockets for his phone and came up empty.
“Fuck.”
He had left his cell out in the bike while he was inside.
“I gotta go, pop.”
Felipe nodded and the two exchanged a quick embrace before EZ was jogging out of the carniceria and hopping on his bike, forgoing the helmet to make up whatever little bit of time he could. The wheels in his head were spinning a mile a minute as he thought about how he had fucked up. The fact that Angel called means that Cam had tried him plenty of times before calling Angel when she got no response. Things between him and Angel had started to feel different lately and EZ was sure that Angel was picking up some off vibes. EZ could only hope that Angel hadn’t used this as an opportunity to throw him under the bus.
He made it to Camila’s house in record time, grabbing his phone to check the time as he walked up to her house.
9:03 PM
EZ shook his head and took a deep breath, not knowing what he was going to walk into. Angel could’ve covered for him and Camila would be only slightly irritated at him being late, or Angel could’ve said the truth and Camila would be pissed, wondering where he had been for the last two hours. As he stood at the front door, waiting as she opened the door. She was in her usual loungewear, but the frown on her face was not usually there. He sighed heavily as he saw her and began apologizing immediately, just in case.
“I’m so sorry, mi corazón. I know I said I would be here by 7 and you cooked,”
Camila shook her head, her hands reaching out to take his face in her hands.
“I was just worried. You weren’t answering and I thought…I thought something had happened.”
EZ placed his hands over hers and smiled softly.
“I’m ok, baby.”
She nodded and laid a kiss on his chest before letting him go.
“Angel said that things ran late but you would be home soon, so I started heating everything back up.”
EZ internally let out a breath of relief as she pulled away and led him into the house. He followed behind her and locked up, knowing he was going to have to do some major ass-kissing for Angel in the days following.

Hey! I'd love to hear more about your poto OC! Feel free to take me at @opeletmejustdraw. Very excited for Armand and Lizzy to be buddies
Thank you so much for asking about him!!!
Some facts about Armand Dubois:
24. Half-French, half-English. 5’7”. Can speak both French and English. Tired of getting called short.
Costume designer and sewist.
Sleep? Don’t know her.
Trans-man. Binders didn’t exist back then and he’s not going to bind unsafely (not that there was any safe way to bind) so he wears a stay (corset) under his shirt and has a small enough chest that it works in looking like a flat chest. No one knows Armand is trans, apart from Erik because he’s a creepy stalker man who caught Armand without his shirt on one day and saw the stay he wears underneath. (Armand was working late and alone in the workshop and thought it would be fine to take off the stay so he’d be a little more comfortable.)
Introverted and shy. Finds it hard to instigate conversations, but if someone else comes up and starts talking to him he’ll start to open up more, especially if they get him talking about his work.
Has severe eczema and normally wears long sleeves and high collars to cover up his skin so others can’t see how badly his skin is affected by it. Becomes instantly agitated and anxious if someone sees any of the affected skin and asks about it. He hates how his skin looks. (Because why not so full self-insert and give him my pain too right.)
Originally a ballet dancer. He quit after deciding to life his life as a man and started living under a different name. He still loved the ballet and opera, and always had a love for costumes. He’d been sewing since he was a child, making his own clothes for year, and had previously helped out a family member in their tailor’s shop. He worked in the costume department for a while before his drawings and designs got noticed and he was hired as a designer. Designing and making the ballet costumes, practically those for the men, is his favourite thing to do.
Too often he stays up late working on costumes after everyone has gone home because he wanted to add more detail or got another idea or just thinks he needs to work harder because he’s an insecure perfectionist, or sometimes the ghost’s antics cause costumes to get ripped or go missing and he has to last minute fix it or sew a new one. The managers sort of take advantage of this. Do not even talk to him about when Carlotta quit and he had to make all the costumes again so they’d fit Christine for the next evening because they didn’t want to postpone the show. At least he had the idea to only make the skirt for the ‘Think of Me’ costume and keep her existing bodice because skirts are the quickest thing to make. Perfectly fitted bodices? Not so much.
Doesn’t talk about his family. They wouldn’t be okay with him being trans and he hasn’t told them. He wasn’t very close to his family anyway. His parents died when he was young and he was raised by his uncle who was disinterested in him. His uncle wasn’t bothered about him moving to Paris on his own and Armand writes to him once a year at Christmas. Basically just to let him know he hasn’t died yet.
Sometimes gives the ballet dancers advice when Madam Giry isn’t looking. Everyone knows Armand used to be a dancer. Sometimes Armand gets a pang of jealously when watching the male dancers as he used to wish he’d be allowed to dance those parts. But really he gets along well with the dancers and in particular has a little friendship with the male principal dancer.
Very awkward with children. He tries his best but he has no idea what to do when there’s a child there just panics. He has to stop himself from saying his usual tired, self-deprecating humour.
Loves classical music, in particular Tchaikovsky’s scores for the Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty ballets. With phonographs only just being invented, the only way Armand can listen to the music is to play it himself. When he used to be a ballet dancer he convinced the conductor, who was one of the few good adult figures he had in his early life, to let him borrow the spare conductor’s copy of the score. He then spent every evening, after a full day of dance practice and shows, writing out his own copy by hand (of his favourite pieces since if he’d done the entire score it would have taken forever since there’s almost 300 pages) so he could play them on his piano.
Terrible at sticking up for himself, but if someone talks shit on anyone else than protective-ArmandTM is activated.
Might have a crush on the opera house’s resident ghost because he’s a lonely boy who’s too into gothic romance novels. (I can imagine that’s much to Liz’s confusion). Look, I didn’t say he was smart and made good choices, and it’s not as though he’s had any romantic relationships or any good familial relationships so who knows if he knows what a proper relationship looks like. He just maybe falls for any man who doesn’t treat him like dirt and has either a pretty face or a pretty voice. He’s a gay disaster. To be honest he most likely has a bit of a crush on Raoul.
He’s scared of rats. If he saw one scuttling around on the floor he would immediately, without thinking, pull his feet up onto his stool. He doesn’t know why he’s scared of them, just catching them moving out of the corner of his eye gets his heart racing. It’s fairly easy to make him jump. Erik’s probably going to give this poor boy a heart attack without even meaning to.
Wants boyfriend?? Normally he knows when he’s crushing on someone but somehow it doesn’t click when the male principal dancer at the ballet starts trying to make friends with him that he’s getting a crush but then oh no it hits him suddenly like a train. Now he blushes and gets flustered all the time. The dancer (who I’m basing of Sergei Polunin in the 25th anniversary because I freaked out when I recognised him because he’s one of my favourite dancers, I’d just bought the Royal Ballet’s Alice in Wonderland 2011 DVD with him as the male lead and loved him in it) knows Armand used to be a dancer, as they all do, but didn’t know Armand still practices to keep in shape and also because he loved dancing and is sad sometimes he gave it up. So what if he walks in the studio in the evening and Armand is practising and the dancer (who needs a name so I can stop calling him ‘principal male dancer’) compliments Armand and notices he’s out of practice and before Armand knows it the dancer is behind him and touching his hands and correcting his arm position and oh no.
Oh boy... by making Armand have a big crush on the principal male lead dancer I just realised that means Armand had a moment while designing his costume for Hannibal that he chose for to have no shirt. I mean, there's one other male dancer that is also shirtless, but still... either it was his own idea that he was convinced was purely because I made sense that character wouldn't wear a shirt, or it was someone’s suggestion (possibly to mess with him if they knew about the crush) and Armand was just dying inside as he was designing it and making sure the fit was right once it was finished. “Hey Armand, we’re going to paint his body to make him look more tan, do you want to see?” “NoOo I’M sUrE hE looKs fINe!”
I have even more (as you’ll know if you’re in the poto oc discord) but I don’t want to make this post too long... it’s probably already too long

Andromeda Mercia [OC Profile]
Notes: First official OC that I love dearly! I got several wips fics written with her in it and I think you've seen her around my blog! Her first character sheet was more focused on her history and family, so in this one I'll be telling more about her in "present-Cradle" times and her relationship with everyone (contains various route spoilers!!) since she doesn't have a suitor yet.

[More]

Pet/s: She rescued a magical phantom fawnicorn from the Abandoned Castle and named her Sora. 
Relationships and stories:
Lancelot Kingsley - A leader she must follow at all times. She admires his ambitions of peace in Cradle. He remembers her as the girl with the odd accent in his birthday parties as a kid. She was taught to fear him during her trainings, but he shows his kindness in ways that caught her off guard. She starts to feel more comfortable and let her walls finally fall down. One night, she learns his connection with Amon to take control over the country, throwing her back deep inside her shell again. She carried the weight of the secret heavily on her own. He confronted her about her change in behavior again and she explodes, resulting the scared woman to betray her army and take refuge in the opposition. The Black Army proposes a treaty to the Reds after learning what she knew and took her in as one of their soldiers to lead a revolt against the Magic Tower. The King of Hearts stands by her side quietly, to prove that he was not the person she thought he was.
Jonah Clemence - An annoying childhood friend. Before her trainings started, the Clemence Brothers visited her often for tea parties and play dates. They were separated for sixteen years because of their future duties, and when they met again they were not the same person they hoped they were. She found his excessive perfectionism annoying and petty, while he thought she was just an empty doll who liked too much sweets. They constantly bicker with one another but little did he know, she was afraid of him. He wanted his best friend back, so he constantly asks her to accompany him with his errands in Central if she wasn’t busy. On their way home, their carriage was ambushed and she did not hesitate to throw herself right into the battle to protect her best friend.
Edgar Bright - A mischievous co-worker and sweets enthusiast. In the army, their positions were almost equal. The Jack of Hearts would often tease her and give her candies and treats to see her brighten up a little. She has never met him before but she knew how dirty and heavy his duties were, especially with the oaths between his and her family. She let her selflessness overrule her when it came to the executions he needed to do, thinking that the man should not bear the heavy weight of a curse. The two were great swordsmen, always ending their friendly duels in a draw. They were also a strong, overpowered duo when it came to battle plans and attacks that their troops always comes home with a win.
Kyle Ash - A very attentive doctor and drinking buddy. When the lazy doctor saw the bruises on her back, he learned the horrible tales behind it and how it affected her well-being. When she was warming up to him, she would help her with his duties in Central if she was not too busy. She handles the annoying children that she somehow gets to listen to her, making his job easier and treats her with food and sometimes, drinks at the pub he often visited. If they’re out, it automatically meant that she was on drunk duty. Having better tolerance to alcohol, she carries him on her back all the way home until Zero sees them, immediately taking care of the drunkard and apologizing for not coming sooner.
Zero - A good-hearted man, listener and body guard. The generals all agreed to the secret “Thaw a Frozen Heart Operation” that would help her feel better in the army. He often accompanies her with her errands around Central if training was over. They were both very curious of many things and they learn them together. She had always thought that the Ace was kind and had already trusted him unlike the others. Whenever she felt down, he would often find her staring at a cold mug of chocolate drink by the counter in the kitchen. She would only say with whatever she was comfortable with and he respects it wholeheartedly, intently listening to her and giving her some advices. One restless night, he woke up in the middle of the night and saw her walking down the hallway. With the way she was moving, he knew something was wrong.
Ray Blackwell - A cat-petting buddy. She first met him by accident at the alleyway with Loki. She was flabbergasted by how the King of Spades was cooing the cats as if they would answer him, but she melted when one of the cats rubbed his face against her calves. At that moment, they forgot that a war existed between their armies and talked about the precious furballs around them. The alleyway was a rendezvous and she would drop by with treats for them and he would sometimes bring in more cats. When she ran away from the Red Army, he did not think twice in taking her in and listened to her reasons, defending her from every opposing opinion that was thrown against her. He believed in her kindness and will for peace and she admired his value for freedom.
Sirius Oswald - A florist and guardian. On her first day outside the walls, she meets him by a flower shop and was stunned at how gentle the giant was when it came to plants. He already knew who she was, Lancelot would often tell stories about her. He often praises her for her knowledge with flowers and how she’s very meticulous with designing and taking care of it. She would approach him whenever she wanted to give flowers as a gift for someone, relying on his experience for the messages she wished to relay. Her innocence warmed his heart and urged him to look after her like a little sister. The Canis Major Flower Shop would send her fresh flowers every two weeks, to replace the previous ones she’s ordered.
Luka Clemence - A beloved childhood friend. He was the only other person she was most comfortable with, constantly missing her days with him when they were younger. When they first met again by the market, it was the first time she was seen smiling brightly by anyone. She learned about his rebellion but she didn’t think of him any differently. They rekindled their old friendship and immediately becoming best friends again. The Jack of Spades would sometimes ask Edgar to give the Royal Advisor the treats he’s made. They always run away from Jonah when they see him around, agreeing that he had gotten very more clingy than before. They discreetly exchange letters often, to catch up with lost time. When she ran away from her army, she called for his name by the gates loud enough for him to immediately come running down to her. He was the first person that she ever cried in front of and pushed him to stay by her side, no matter what.
Seth Hyde - A fashion enthusiast and a suspicious man.The moment she saw him, she was already very cautious around him. He offered to be a friend after complimenting about her uniform and learning that she was the daughter of the best seamstress in Cradle. When their topics were about clothes and designs, they are very meticulous and observant, exchanging opinions and creating sketches together. Her suspicions lessened the more time she spent with him, but he always reminds her of what a horrible man he can be. Regardless, when the accusations against him started pouring, she stood up and sheltered him, believing that he was not the man Amon wanted him to be.
Fenrir Godspeed - A family friend and a worthy opponent. During a festival in Cradle, her necklace was stolen and the Ace of Spades was quick to help her. He recognized how similar she was with his godmother and treated her very formally. She disliked this and encourages him to be himself. He retorts that she shouldn’t be so stiff as well and let her enjoy herself, resulting to a friendly competition of who could tolerate the other’s real nature better. Their duels in festival games are their method of training and getting to know each other. His birthday came around and she was invited for the first time, their closeness stuns his guests but he dismisses them and made sure she enjoyed her night. During the revolt against the Magic Tower, he was always behind her and provided the back-up and assist she needed. 
Blanc Lapin - A trusted friend and guardian. The White Rabbit accompanied her mother’s travel in the Land of Reason. He was the one who arranged her papers in the orphanage and constantly travels between both worlds to finalize everything. When she was finally approved to leave, the older man sends her home. He would visit the Mercia Residence often to teach her the traditions patiently and she adjusted very quickly. When she became the Royal Advisor, she would often come to him if she had legal matters to attend to in Central Quarter. They go out drinking together when Kyle invites them.
Oliver Knight - A bickering buddy and London childhood friend. He was six years old when he became playmates with the three year old girl. The nuns would let her play in the nearby playground with him with his father supervising them very closely. When he learned that she had to leave, he gave her a hat that he helped make as a parting gift. Before they left, he asked the White Rabbit to come by again to take him to where she was. Now twenty years older, they meet again but she doesn’t know who he was because of his curse. A few hours before the end of the festival, she meets him in his adult form, holding a replica of a hat he gave all those years ago and they rekindled their old friendship. During the night of her betrayal, he rushed to the Headquarters and helped her escape. 
Loki Genetta - A pet cat to look over. She found him injured and sick in Kyle’s clinic one day and helped nurse him back to health. He thanked her by stealing her away from the doctor and showing her around Cradle. She would receive hugs from him often and it bothered her at first, but eventually got around it. He was much younger than her and he looked up to her like a big sister and mother he wished he had. At times, he would drop sketchy hints with his connection with Harr and how he knew so much about her. She always has fresh fish for him when she sees him looking around the markets with a pout.
Harr Silver - The boy in his father’s stories. They first met when the Royal Advisor got lost in the Forbidden Forest. She somehow persuaded him to accompany him to the Abandoned Castle. When they got stranded in the evening because of the sudden rainstorm, she admits that he knew who he really was. She tells the tales his father told her before she slept when she was younger, and how important he was to him. When a search party arrived and found her alone, the outlaw quietly followed to see if she got home safe. She would look beyond her window just before midnight to see if the masked man came to visit and inform her of the red darkness that consumed the army. 
Mousse Atlas - A kind gentleman and co-worker. When he left the army and served as a neutral diplomat, he made connections with the Mercia family for legal matters and state welfare. She assisted him with his papers for international agreements before joining the army herself. He treated her very kindly and offers to give anything she wanted. He was abroad on the day of her father’s death and when she inherited her position.
Dean Tweedle - A strict teacher. Teaching her in her teen years, he had little to patience to how distant she would often be during lectures. She hated him, for the most part, for expecting so much of her when she barely had any idea of what he was teaching. Nevertheless, she was grateful that he wasn’t like her other teachers. 
Dalim Tweedle - A generous bar owner and a suspicious man. He flirted with her the moment she walked in with her drinking buddies, fortunately she was innocent and dense, dismissing his advances without realizing. She disliked him for calling her a princess, but she appreciated the endearment. Though they became friends, she still didn’t trust him completely and had caught him several times near the Red Bridge late at night. During the attack against the tower, she found out the truth underneath his advances.
Bonus: Additional Characters
Tumblr media
Cassiopeia Windsor-Mercia - Mother, the angel in her dreams.
Cepheus Mercia - Father and role model. He knew about the abuse and had been arguing with his brother since he began, but it never stopped him. He would constantly apologize for not being there for her everyday to protect her. She loved him dearly, nonetheless. When she was much older, he told her about what happens in the army and that she needs to be careful when he steps down. Before his death, he had a messenger send one last letter that she never dared to open—until the night of her betrayal. The truth was written in those several pages and she used it as evidence for the trials to defend the people she learned to care.
Danaus Mercia - Uncle and traitor. She feared him the most, there was not a day where he tortured her during her younger years. He was the reason why the Royal Advisor was the way she was when she joined the army. An unexpected visit reveals how cruel he was behind closed doors, enraging the generals, Lancelot specifically. 
Bella Windsor - Aunt and second mother. She relies on her the most during her younger years, seeking comfort in her embrace and words of reassurance. She was separated from her when she was sixteen years old, but they sent letters whenever they can.
Sora - Her first pet and happy pill. She knew that rescuing her was a good decision despite being a sign of bad omen, but she never thought that she would receive an angel in exchange.

My slbp OC, Ai Oda, brought to life by @jane-runs-fast I am incredibly grateful! Not only did she bring this glorious creation to life, but her avid interest in the character's story encouraged me to finally transfer my thoughts to script and share it. Hope this brief chapter lives up to the hype.
Genre: Fluff, AU Characters: Katsuie, Inuchiyo, Hideyoshi, Mitsuhide, Nobunaga Word Count: 1,631
Author’s Note: This is my first time attempting a fanfic, so any feedback is appreciated, especially criticism. I’m a big girl, I promise you won’t offend me. After discovering the extensive slbp fandom, I have to admit I don’t know nearly as much about the characters as I thought I did...
Tumblr media
an Oda of Iga
Chapter 1, Part 1
The eighth month had finally fallen upon Mino and brought with it the fiery colors of fall. Between the browning rice fields in the valley below and the red-dyed maples on the slopes to either side, Mt. Inaba seemed to blaze in the evening light. Like fire. Ai had never placed much value on symbolism, even she had to admit the view seemed to be an extension of thought rather than scenery. Leaning against a veranda post, her vantage provided an ample view of the distant horizon, and the jagged shadow the Yoro Mountains cast upon it. Mt. Hiei lay somewhere beyond that, out of view, along with all the resident monks of Enryakuji…who didn’t yet know their fate has already been decided.
“Don’t turn yer back, Toshiie!”
A loud crack of wood on flesh followed the bark of words and, blinking away her ominous thoughts, Ai turned a curious eye toward the sound. The clatter of practice swords was hardly an unusual one, sparring in the grounds was as sure as sunset this time of day, but the addition of Lord Katsuie’s thunderous voice was an uncommon one. The old retainer usually left instruction to younger men.
Nevertheless, there he stood on form in the center of the field, torso bare and drenched in sweat. His sword was matched with Toshiie’s, who by comparison still looked dry-skinned and spry. The bought was a fierce one but despite the old man’s masterful movements and excellent advice, it was clear fatigue was losing the battle for him. With more speed than Katsuie could match, Toshiie drove past his guard. But poor aim left his strike merely grazing off his instructor’s ribs, a mistake Katsuii promptly punished him for. With a practiced parry, he met Toshiie’s retreating arm with a cracking blow that sent his weapon sailing away.
“Damn!”
“You lost your sword, puppy. Need a hand?” Hideyoshi’s teasing response was as swift as Toshiie frustration.
“Shut it you.” He panted, moving to retrieve his lost weapon. “And stop calling me that!”
“Good energy, Toshiie, but mind your footwork,” Katsuie said, with a rich chuckle that revealed his fondness for the pair. He was trying valiantly to disguise the exhaustion in his heavy breaths as he began pulling his kimono back in place. Maede seemed not to notice his desire to leave, and planted himself readily in front of the old retainer again.
“Come on, old man. One more time.”
Even from afar, Ai could tell there was no change in his sloppy stance. Katsuie noticed too, his vague scowl focused on his young feet. But, however sound his advice might be, Katsuie was in no fit state to enforce the lesson. Another match now might be enough to give Toshiie the win he was hoping for, and any credit for Katsuie’s instruction would be forgotten with it. His chest half covered and the practice sword still in his hand, his gaze fell upon Ai nearby, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Whatever his plan might have been otherwise, the sight of her seemed to change his mind. And with a wily smirk, he called out before she could do more than narrow her eyes.
“AKUMA.”
That one resounding name prompted a response similar to a scream in a quiet shrine. Every eye in the garden jerked immediately to Katsuie and then to the shadowed corner of the veranda where Ai stood. The response was understandable. Not only did Katsuie’s given name for her literally meant demon, but the mempo mask that stretched from ear to ear did nothing to dissuade the idea. The metal was wrought into the snarling jaws of a beast and as red as a freshly opened wound. Chipped and scarred by years of use; it was heinous down to the last bared fang and ‘Akuma’ was never seen without it...which was precisely why so few of the retainer’s knew that it was a woman, and not a man, that starred back at them now.
Akuma had been a general in Oda’s army longer than most, had shed blood in Oda’s name while Hideyoshi still cleaned his shoes, and his reputation was well-earned. His was the first hand to rise for vanguard and rearguard alike and he never failed to return. He had spoiled more attempts on the liege's life than could be counted on one hand and, though he was absent from the castle as often as the sun, his loyalty was unquestioned, mask and all. He trained alone, spoke to few, and was known to have the ear of Lord Nobunaga himself. Only the most senior retainers spoke to him freely.
“Come help me educate this pup.”
Ai moved her gaze meaningfully to Meade. Descending into the grounds, she intentionally let out a long, breath of hot air which billowed in the cool autumn air, escaping through the fanged gaps in the mask like smoke from a dragon’s maw. It had the desired effect. While Hideyoshi and Katsuie both wore knowing smiles, Toshiie looked ill-at-ease as she approached. Practice sword in hand, Ai stopped in Lord Katsuie’s vacated spot and faced him, waiting. Toshiie didn’t seem nearly as eager to engage ‘Akuma’ as he had been for Lord Katsuie, but he raised his practice weapon all the same. Then, with a quick, calculating scan, he lunged.
Ai assumed a defensive posture and deflected it, and the next, and the next. But he was ready with a counter for each, relentlessly pushing forward to close the gained space. She made only cursory retaliations, her attention devoted to evaluation instead. He was aggressive, forceful...and predictable. Every movements betrayed him. The twitch of a shoulder before the swing, feet turned into every step; it was subtle, but enough to allow Ai to stay one move ahead was relative ease. It became easier still when frustration pinched his brow, his strikes less controlled.
As Toshiie’s next swipe fell hard toward her shoulder, Ai caught it with the angled edge of her own, forcing his momentum in a high arch instead. She sidestepped, suddenly at his shoulder in a single motion. Before he could do more than widen his eyes, her free hand seized his wrist, pinning it as her foot kicked precisely into the back of his knee. His leg gave out, but as he fell forward, applied pressure from her elbow locked his arm and shoulder out, and bent him back. Ai’s wooden sword tip was at his neck before his knee hit the ground, braced against the taught line of his own arm. She touched with just enough pressure to draw his wide eyes up to meet hers, then released.
Hideyoshi’s low whistle broke the silence. “Again,” she said firmly, keeping her voice the characteristic growl of Akuma’s as she offered her opponent a hand up. His large hand in hers, Toshiie found his feet again, though he seemed too distracted to notice the considerable different in their hand sizes, or the relevance of it. With an experimental twist to his wrist and the briefest glimpse of a sulk, he readied himself again. He looked rigid with determination.
“Keep your shoulders loose and your feet straight. You’ll only be easier to read if you’re tense.”
Familiar footfalls sounded lightly nearby, and, signaling a pause with the drop of her guard, Ai turned her attention toward the empty passage moments before Mitsuhide appeared. Straight-backed and formal as always, he walked with clear purpose. His gaze stole meaningfully toward the rooftop and shadows, as if searching for something, or someone. And he found her and, wasting no time said, “...Akuma. Lord Nobunaga wishes to speak with us.”
It took a moment for Ai to nod in response, gauging his curt words for their apparent urgency first. The request wasn't an unusual one, but the timing was. They had spoken at length with Nobunaga only hours before. If he was calling them now...something must have changed.
“Very well.” Ai turned her attention back to the waiting retainers, whose collective eyes had become weighty on her back. Handing the sword back off to Lord Katsuie, her gaze lingered on her opponent before nodding in farewell. “Until our next match, Toshiie.”
Seemingly taken aback by being addressed by name, he gave a shallow bow and sputtered through a formal, “Thank you.”
Back already half turned, she flashed a raised eyebrow at her former mentor and mounted the veranda steps. She made immediately for the inner chambers and Mitsuhide fell in beside her, retracing his steps down the corridor he’d just come. A charged silence fell between them, punctuated by their harried footfalls. Polite banter would have normally filled their walks, but ever since Nobunaga had shared his designs on Mt. Hiei with them that morning, the chief retainer had been unusually quiet.
“Is this about Enryakuji…?” She asked, prompting the reaction she’d expected to find. Sure enough, a disquiet darkened his eyes at the name for but a moment, gone as quickly as it appeared. His confident air returned in earnest as he responded.
“...No. A letter was intercepted, en-route to Kai.”
Silence fell again and lasted until they rounded the final corner and stopped before Lord Nobunaga’s door. Mitsuhide announced their arrival, and without waiting for a reply, slid open the door. A crease in his brow and a fold of paper in his hand, Lord Nobunaga sat in a halo of lamp light inside. His eyes were sharp and expectant as they darted to the retainers in his doorway. With a bow that Mitsuhide mirrored at her side, Ai lowered her gaze to the tatami mats before meeting Nobunaga’s eyes, eyes that so perfectly matched her own.
“...you called for me, brother?”

15 for 15 Tag
Tagged by @power-of-ages-writeblr. Thanks! :D
For this tag you need to fill out fifteen questions for one of your OCs, either in- or out-of-character, then tag fifteen people.
I’m going to fill this one out for Nyx and Sev, because they were designed together and I’m still figuring out the plot of their story.
1. What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering? (Name, appearance, backstory etc.)
The first thing I thought of for Nyx and Sev were their appearances.
2. Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind?
Yes and no? I designed Nyx and Sev to be able to play off of each other, with Nyx being rather naïve and earnest and Sev being more sarcastic but also more pragmatic and cynical.
3. How did you choose their name?
Honestly? I’m still a bit unsure about their names, and both are subject to change. 
I chose Nyx’s name due to the form she takes on Earth being a cat whose "fur” somewhat resembles a nebula or a night sky, a trait that tends to remain constant through most of the forms she takes.
Sev’s name just felt right, no real purpose to it.
4. In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they lived in played the most influential parts?
Nyx and Sev are Travelers (beings able to move between their world and others while dreaming), and have both visited Earth while dreaming. They are also the first beings to form a non-exclusive essence-bond with a being from another world. Both wound up essence-bound with the same human, and with each other.
5. Is there any significance behind their hair colour?
Being shapeshifters, Nyx and Sev are capable of having any hairstyle or color they wish. 
6. Is there any significance behind their eye colour?
Not in particular, especially as it tends to change frequently.
7. Is there any significance behind their height?
Nyx’s and Sev’s heights vary widely.
8. What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story?
It’s a bit too early in the story to know, honestly.
9. Are they based off you in some way?
Not really?
10. Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation?
Nope.
11. What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits etc.)
I actually haven’t tried drawing either of them yet.
12. How past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all?
Not at all, yet; they’re part of my newest WIP, and I’m still working out the general plot.
13. If you had to narrow it down to 2 things you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?
1. Despite having most-used forms, Nyx and Sev are by nature shapeshifters, and will change form often.
2. Nyx and Sev are not human, and don’t have much knowledge of human cultures or Earth in general at first.
14. What is something about your OC that can make you laugh?
Nyx disguises herself as a cat while on Earth, but doesn’t quite understand the properties of Earth life at first. This has resulted in multiple random humans approaching her only to run away screaming when she opens four extra eyes, casually walks through walls, randomly floats away, or opens a mouth with several times as many teeth as it should have.
15. What is something about your OC that can make you cry?
The fact that Nyx lost her family to the Delirium Forest, and what she’s had to go through since then. And the fact that Nyx will likely have to enter the Delirium Forest once more during the story.
16. Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story?
Not really, though to be fair I just started this WIP a few days ago.
17. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?
Tbh I didn’t even name Sev until after I started this questionnaire.
18. What is your favourite fact about your OC?
Probably the above one regarding Nyx’s confusion about Earth life lmao
I’m gonna tag @chaos-reign, @thejadewizard-is-writing, @eyelessfatdragon, @bluenightfire, @thatpaperlife , and anyone else who would to fill this out!

What do you guys think of cringe culture? I remember writing up my own dragons for WOF when I read it a lil while back, and I found a few of the drawings and I kinda cringed but remember how happy I was and I kinda wanna go back to it (mildly nervous of what ppl would think but still)
oh you have come to the right person for cringe culture talk
short answer: 
it’s stupid, fake, and all-around bad
long answer, and boy is it long:
the problem with cringe culture is that is almost inevitably directed at children having harmless fun. think of something cringey; chances are, you thought of “ten year old’s bad op oc” before, for example, “40 year old man getting into debates about anime on the internet”*. chew on that for a sec. why is a child having innocent fun…
…a bad thing?
it’s really not! like, children interacting with their favorite media(s) by making a character - often a self-insert, we’ve all been there - is literally enjoying the story so much that they want to be a part of it. that’s good! that’s GREAT, even! that’s a sign you’re doing a damn good job as a writer / artist / filmmaker / etc - your fans are so hyped about your world that they’d want to exist in it.
but then the people in fandom who have already learned that OCs To Have Fun With Are Bad** pass that lesson on to the next decade of tweens who made something for themselves and had the judgement of the digital world come down on it like the hand of god.
my first notable ocs were;
- a silver dragon, who could heal herself from the brink of death because she drank from a pool of molten silver, who also lost an eye and was super scarred because she was always getting in fights to do good. she had extensive, elaborate, unnecessary adventures and, of course, a tragic parenthood arc because i had been reading warriors books
- a half-dragon, half-pegasus mlp oc who literally angsted so badly he unleashed town-flattening destructive power that was absolutely never explained, and then died, and then ended up alive again because i decided that was too sad. this was the entirety of his story.
- a human who drops out of school and drives away to a nearby town, where she’s given shelter by an elderly werewolf woman, falls in love with the werewolf’s adult granddaughter, and they open a small town cafe where they all live happily ever after, as far as life allows. the physical manifestation of Death is also there.
those can all be very cringe if looked at by someone who wants them to be. but, of course, with only a few alterations you could plausibly use these descriptions on the superhero Wolverine, Anakin Skywalker, and… well, okay, I can’t think of an equivalent for the last one because I’m making the gay fantasy slice of life book I want to see in the world, but 2/3 isn’t too bad. it probes my point, which is, essentially:
when the ‘cringey’ ideas are done by skilled producers and are meant to be seen and responded to by the world, cough and the characters are straight white cis men cough people will accept them.
when the ‘cringey’ ideas are done by children or other, less skilled creators, generally for a small audience or just to self-indulge, and don’t say minority content doesn’t play a part here bc it often is included as cringe for being minority, people will make entire blogs dedicated to mocking them for not being up to the same standard that their million-dollar-production-value source material has.
basically what im getting at here is like… the only cringey thing about cringe culture is that people still use the term, like, genuinely. it’s fake! you’re just putting a goofy name on mocking children on the internet! bake a cake or something!
so long as it’s not hurting anybody, what’s the hecking point in acting like it’s the end of the world that someone has an oc with a rare pigment mutation and powers unexpected for their species and has an angsty backstory where their family cast them out***? 
if what you’re doing isn’t harmful, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. if you love something, love it. just don’t expect to be catered to if it’s not a media directed at you**** and don’t get in the way of the actual target audience enjoying it*****.
just be normal! just be a person enjoying something. i assure you that such a thing happens all the time. there are people who like star wars that don’t know what the word fandom means, and god some days i wish i were them.
*adults doing freaky shit are, in fact, the only people who deserve the term
**they have often learned this by being a part of the decade prior to the one that they are teasing. anyone who gets super upset about “””cringey””” ocs more than 10 years after having that phase needs to turn off the computer and go for a walk
***just so none of you get any ideas, this sentence is genuinely me describing one of my current OCs, Drifter
****looking at you, bronies
*****also looking at bronies; there used to be a designated safe search cleanup event bc of all the nsfw content of cute cartoon horses. as far as i know, this has not changed.

BNHA OC Template
Name: John Roderick Porter
Pronunciation: jon : rod-er-ick : poor-ter
Meaning of Name: John: Biblical Hebrew name meaning Jehovah has been gracious/has shown favor. Roderick: Middle Latin Rodericus; derived from Old High German Hrodrich (Famous Ruler), a compound name composed from the elements hruod (fame) and rik (king, ruler). Porter: English and Scottish roots; occupational name for the gatekeeper of a walled town or city, or the doorkeeper of a great house, castle, monastery, from Middle English porter ‘doorkeeper’, ‘gatekeeper’.
Hero/Villain Name: Kingslayer
Nicknames: Scip, prince, immortal douchebag
History of Nicknames: Scip is the slang used by the SCP Foundation to describe an anomalous object, person, or place. This is always connotated in the form of SCP-[Insert SCP Number Here]. Prince was given to him as a shortened version of his self-proclaimed nickname of “The Painted Prince”. Immortal Douchebag; this nickname should really explain itself.
Aliases: Mr. Death, Agent Porter, Captain, the Grim Reaper
Nationality: American (Ex Patriot)
Affiliation: SCP Foundation; SCP Foundation Ethics Committee; The Cult of Jashin
Student Number: N/A because he is a teacher.
Quirk: Quirkless. His abilities are not the result of a quirk. They were obtained through anomalous means.
Anomalous Abilities: Reincarnated by the god of death (Jashin) in order to follow His will with the myriad of siblings he has that also inhabit this world. He is invulnerable to physical damage and upon offering a blood offering, (usually his own heart by cutting it out of his chest), to be blessed by Jashin, he may access a heightened state that excels his physical capabilities to rival All Might’s. The heightened state will only last as long as the heart he as offered stays beating. As a new heart regenerates within his chest, the heart outside will gradually decay. When the new heart has fully regenerated, he no longer has his powerup. He is experienced with the use of most firearms, several forms of martial arts, including bladed weapons training, from his centuries of service to the Foundation.
Birthday and Astrology Sign: [REDACTED]
Birthplace: [REDACTED]
Death Date: [REDACTED]
Death Place: [REDACTED]
Age: ~ 475 - 500
How old does he look: Mid-Twenties
Mental Age: 12-50 (it depends on the kind of mood he’s in)
Gender: Cis-Male
Orientation/Sexuality/Preference: Prefers Alternian men. Humans began to bore him after so many failed relationships. On his first try with an Alternian, there was immense friction (giggity) but the two of them eventually learned to love and crave one another’s company through and through. (Total Bottom Bitch but still masc.)
Appearance:
Eye Color: Neon Pink
Eye Shape: Average/Round
Do they wear contacts/glasses: Both; he will keep a pair of regular brown eyed contact lenses if he is feeling a need to blend in with less effort. Glasses are more for the fact that he loves how fashionable and hates that he actually needs them.
Hair: Bleach/Bone white. Kept in a neat and tidy undercut with the hair always styled back. Light stubble on his face as well, (slightly lighter than Aizawa).
Weight: 86.2 kg
Height: 180.3 cm
Body Build: Toned/Lean. He has slight disgust for people who take their muscle masses too far. Looking like a Greek god is one thing, but it is an entirely different issue for those who “go beyond”.
Body Shape: Elongated Downward Trapezoid
Complexion: Fair skin, no wrinkles despite his [REDACTED] age.
Cup Size: [REDACTED] (lol)
Blood Type: [REDACTED]
Handedness: Right handed. (Sidenote): Prefers a bladed weapon over firearms or fists but will use the firearm if he’s in a hurry or his hands if he wishes to experience the intimacy of a kill if it’s personal.
Hand Type: Average Sized/Proportional to his body. (Practiced Hands).
Nails: Clean, Well Maintained/Manicured.
Movement:
How does he walk: Carries himself well, walks with a purpose. Typically tries to keep an average pace as he feels that if he is moving too quickly it will likely raise suspicion.
Posture: Tall/Imposing, vulnerable when he is with his troll husband.
Flexibility: Can do all sorts of things with his body.
Voice: Booming when needed, (used to train recruits). Can sing relatively well if he’s had a decent amount of liquor. Not too deep but not too high pitched either.
Speech Mannerisms: None, he is very good at orating, especially since he is a teacher at UA. Orally gifted. (Approved by Arcita Porter).
Scars: “Y-Shaped” autopsy scar, outer/inner arms and legs are riddled with cut marks from sacrificing. Back is covered in whipping scars as well as deep scratch scars from his troll hubby.
Birthmarks: None
Piercings: Ears, does not wear anything in them anymore. Had snake bites when he was much, much younger, but the holes have filled in these days.
Tattoos: Inner right forearm where scars are not as prevalent; inverted equilateral triangle inside a circle, the symbol of Jashin. Above and below this tattoo are the names of friends and esteemed colleagues that he has lost throughout the centuries. Inner left forearm has the insignia of the SCP Foundation, along with additional names of friends and colleagues. Arms and body are riddled with various runes (blood, moon, and daedric), all of which are paying religious homage to Jashin.
Facial Structure: (Will be devoting more time to bring you an actual picture of this when my drawing skills improve as I have just started drawing and am nervous about butchering my muse).
Statistics:
Power: 4.5/5.0 Stars A-
Speed: 3.0/5.0 C (Regular) : 4.8/5.0 A (Heightened State)
Technique: 5.0/5.0 A+ (He’s an old geezer he knows what he’s doing).
Intelligence: 4.9/5.0 (Experience far outweighs youth in his case).
Extra Explanation: The man is centuries old. He has no issues getting his hands dirty, as he has a long career of doing so for the sake of the Foundation’s secrecy, and acquisition of scips. He was one of the first pairs of boots on the ground when it came to rounding up individuals with quirks in an effort for his superiors to document and study what was at one time considered an anomalous humanoid. Ironically enough he met his current husband through the same way. He is loyal to the Foundation but he still has enough of a brain to think for himself. As a great agent once said with his dying breath, “You ain’t machines. You ain’t tin soldiers. You’re people, men an’ women who do the shit nobody else can do. An’ people make a choice. There’s a damned big difference between doing’ the job because you were told to, an’ doin’ it because it’s gotta be done.” Although he detests some of humanity’s more harsh decisions, he will still lay himself on the front lines if it means the protection of the masses. He does not usually talk/brag about his faith, but he has no problems answering honest questions about it with honest answers. Questions pertaining to his past/current career however are met with the typical response of “it’s classified”.
The reason he is as old has he is was essentially my own personal compensation since a genetic trait taking over 80% of a population of a number > 7 billion would take an immense amount of time. The reason that history is not nearly as long as it normally would be is because there was an GH-0: Dead Green House Scenario where the Foundation had to utilize the site located in SCP-2000. Shortly before shit hit the fan for the world a new anomalous virus was discovered that allowed humans to obtain superpowers. The virus was immensely contagious and would register as a recessive trait in the human genome that carriers often went unnoticed and were often successful in flying under the Foundation’s radar. All it took was a few of the recessive carriers to live amongst the general populous for the virus to take effect; the Foundation only being able to notice this after it was too late and reluctantly giving up efforts to confine individuals with quirks, a.) because their cells were filled, and b.) because quirks became generally accepted. However, that doesn’t essentially mean that the Foundation chose to stay uninvolved.
Eventually, through manipulation of their allied nations’ governments, they were able to obtain specimens to research on, which allowed them to design and manufacture a variety of products that ran from containment procedures and tools that the police forces of today are often found using, to various types of clothing and products that are aimed to be sold specifically towards individuals with quirks. The profits of these products go straight towards the Foundation’s budget as maintaining a global fascist coalition of a pseudo secretive shadowy organization with little oversight can tend to be quite expensive. (To be clear, none of the aforementioned products have anomalous properties, they are strictly for selling to the masses to increase funding efforts).
Description of Anomalous Abilities: John Porter is a Painted Child of Jashin. This essentially means that he wouldn’t die even if God him/her/themselves was the one pulling the trigger. He has an ability known as a “Heightened State” where through the obtainment and offering of his still beating heart out of his own chest, he is able to access Jashin’s wrath, a power boost that is highly similar to All Might but without the whole huge muscled look. The power boost only lasts as long as the heart outside his body while a new one regenerates within his chest.  
Clothing:
Hero/Villain Costume: Foundation Issued Black Multicam Fatigues and Jacket, 5.11 Tactec Plate Carrier Vest, Black Hiking Shoes, a black skull balaclava, a black multicam baseball hat with a grim reaper patch on the Velcro front, a pair of Oakly Straight Jacket sunglasses with the Fire lenses, a durable over the ear headset with a microphone, a pair of Oakly Pilot gloves, and a military sapper backpack.
Equipment: (All Foundation Issued). Preferred primary weapons of choice are the M4 carbine and the SR-25 designated marksman rifle; preferred sidearm is the HK USP .45. He also has been known to carry a machete, gifted to him by the Unholy Father (Jashin). On occasions it has been known to cause people’s limbs to go missing. Where they go…nobody knows.
Uniform: He is not a student so no uniform. He does however always ensure that he is looking presentable in a three-piece suit. The colors vary as he is very gay and loves to have options.
Preferred Outfit: His husband. (Lol jk, but not really…they screw a lot). He typically likes his stay at home days where he can wear nothing but a tank top and his boxer briefs and lounge around while he is grading papers and homework assignments. Should spontaneous company show up he will wear a bathrobe.
Characteristics:
Personality: John Porter is a man who will happily sit back and observe a conversation before kicking the proverbial door in and offering his two cents. He tries to find a balancing point between giving people honest advice in ways that will not cause emotional trauma.

Reason to keep on living: He detests humanity on occasions but still swore an oath to protect them by any means necessary.
What their self-image is like: He believes that he is a monster, and that someday all of his past sins will eventually catch up to him. But until that happens, he will try to be as decent of a person as he can while still working for one of the shadiest organizations known to man.

Post Reincarnation: Was captured by a Foundation retrieval team. Was able to use a silver tongue and convince them to employ him.
Did he like his upbringing: Yes, he simply regrets how he left things.
How did his upbringing shape him?: Taught him the consequences of making the blatantly wrong choices, hence why he willingly went with the Foundation to work for them.

Any Family: Husband; Arcita. Son; Novuck. Daughter: Madeline.
Relationships:
OC Family Character: Arcita Porter
·         Status: Married (Husband)
·         How well do they get along?
o   Terrifically now. Although in the beginning the two of them were constantly trying to kill each other. This however slowly devolved into a flourishing kismesitude before mutual suffering brought out more positive feelings towards one another. The result of which was a longer and more sustainable relationship that eventually led to matrimony.
·         What John thinks of Arcita: “He is the man that I would trade my immortality in for and die for again and again and again.”
·         What Arcita thinks of him: “I initially saw him as a challenge. Something I could fight and dominate. These days that attitude still hasn’t changed but the context definitely has.”
·         What John calls Arcita: Papa Lion
·         What Arcita calls John: My Prince
OC Family Character: Madeline Porter
·         Status: Single
·         How well do they get along
o   Madeline hated her father at first because he left her at the hands of the adoption agencies of the US. However, upon discovering why he did this, as she herself is now an employee of the SCP Foundation, she fully understands and no longer resents him. A bonding moment happened when the two of them realized that she shared his anomalous abilities. She now enjoys any time that the two of them can have to hang out together in a secret bar and exchange war stories. She finds these to be therapeutic at times as she utilizes the fact that her father is a wealth of knowledge.
·         What John thinks of Madeline: “She and her brother are my entire world.”
·         What Madeline thinks of him: “I used to hate him, but now I can’t see any reality where he’s not there to help me through my deepest moments of suffering. Nor could I live in a world where he would not be able to walk me down the isle one day. He may not have been there in the beginning, but he has more than made up for that now.”
·         What John calls Madeline: Maddie
·         What Madeline calls John: Dad (what else would she call him?)
OC Family Character: Novuck Porter
·         Status: Single
·         How well do they get along?
o   Novuck and John are loving and endearing to one another, and there is nothing Novuck wouldn’t do for his father and vice versa. That being said, Novuck and John do not get along nearly as well compared to Novuck and Arcita. Interspecies differences aside, Novuck and Arcita simply have a better relationship, as both John and Madeline have a better relationship. Nothing to do with bad parenting.
·         What John thinks of Novuck: “He and his sister are my entire world.”
·         What Novuck thinks of John: “I’m really happy that someone as tough as he is, is one of the two best dads a grub could ever ask for. Considering the circumstances of how he found me, things could have turned out much worse. I’m very happy to have him as a father.”
·         What John calls Novuck: Yard rat. (there’s a story behind this).
·         What Novuck calls John: Dad Lusus / Father Lusus.
Canon Character: Toshinori Yagi
·         Status: Single
·         How well do they get along?
o   Due to the Foundation’s availability of amnestics, the two get along very well.
·         What John thinks of All Might: “All Might was the difference the world needed but I remain reserved to the fact that the peace he’s created is not remotely sustainable.”
·         What Toshinori thinks of John: He is a good friend and a fearsome warrior, but he is also a man who understands where the battlefield ends and where civilized life begins.
·         What John calls Toshinori: Brother
·         What Toshinori calls John: My friend, John (any variations of his name).
Canon Character: Shota Aizawa
·         Status: Single (tho John occasionally tries to set him up with Mic).
·         How well do they get along?
o   They have a steady working relationship, but they do not typically socialize on a personal level.
·         What John thinks of Aizawa: “Aizawa is what I would call a more effective hero. The press constantly gets in the way and has a tendency to butcher whatever they can only make out in front of their faces. They never see the bigger picture and it is foolish to pander to their desires. It is for this reason that the shadows are the place where a hero can truly shine.”
·         What Aizawa thinks of John: “He is a crazy man that should not be allowed to have a firearm.”
·         What John calls Aizawa: Sleepy Kakashi, Broody Spiderman, Sir Sleepsalot.
·         What Aizawa calls John: Crazy bastard, loose cannon, overtly covert.
Canon Character: Enji Todoroki
·         Status: Married (?)
·         How well do they get along?
o   They don’t. John has to ensure that he is not in the same room as this man, else an accidental misfire could occur. To him, Endeavor represents everything that is wrong with the hero system. He would not willingly pull the trigger on the man in front of a room full of witnesses, but if orders came in from his respective Foundation handlers saying that Endeavor needed to go, he certainly wouldn’t hesitate to follow through.
·         What John thinks of Endeavor: “I think he’s a cunt.”
·         What Endeavor thinks of John: “Who is John Porter?”
·         What John calls Endeavor: Fucknut, cuntbag, dipshit, fuck knuckle.
·         What Endeavor calls John: Immortal Douchebag.

Stolen again aha
1. Describe and inside joke with little to no context
“Bean”, “Muffin”, “Noodle”, “Cinnamon Roll” and “Star-shaped Sugar Cookie” are all terms that have been used to describe me in any given situation. It’s like a bakery up in here.
2. Describe something that makes you happy
Finishing a piece of art and feeling really happy rather than doubtful about it after, or finding something new to completely lose myself in, like a new game or TV show. Both are really good feelings, especially if I can share with my friends.
3. What’s the funniest joke you know by heart?
Myself.
... Too soon?
I actually don’t consider myself that humorous so I have no idea what to put here, sadly. I wish I was funnier in a linguistic sense but outside of sarcasm and my reactions to things I’ve got nothing. My friends seem to find entertainment in it though. Entertainment in my emotional suffering while watching fictional content, that is. (love you guys)
4. What’s the craziest conversation you’ve overheard?
Not really a conversation I guess but outside my window some people walked by and all I hear is “I FUCKING LOVE PARADES” and no following response. You hear a lot of things from the surface when you live in a dragon’s lair basement.
5. What’s your favourite song at the moment?
I have several at any given moment based on what I find in my YouTube subscriptions, but if I were to pick one right now I guess it would be Flashin’ Like I’m Gatsby by Atom Smith, it’s an electroswing hop track. For a slower track right now I’d pick First Things First by Neon Trees. That and the entire Owlboy OST by Jonathan Geer. Quality content.
6. What languages do you wish you could speak?
Japanese and French probably. Japanese for anime/manga purposes and French because I’m in Canada and I used to love learning French in school.
7. Describe your idea of a ‘perfect day’
Oh boy time to crank out some radical, overly detailed hypotheticals. -cracks knuckles-
I wake up at a decent hour, well rested for the first time in forever, no anxiety or depression clawing at the walls of my brain. I had a dream that night that was either interesting enough to right down or gives me an idea for a character design. I get out of my bedroom in my own apartment, and greet my two cats who are likely named after my characters and have subsequent Warrior cat names as well. 
Sunlight comes in through the sliding doors, the cats watch the birds on the feeder outside on the balcony. I see some of my favourites there to meet us: cardinals, blue jays, maybe an oriole or a hummingbird depending on the season. If it’s winter, snow is gently falling, with no wind to whip it around. I live in a small enough town or city that the view out the window is of more organic scenery rather than concrete, maybe there’s a river or a body of water nearby and it’s at least relatively quiet. 
I stay in my comfortable clothes for a while as I mull over the idea I have in my head and make breakfast (or lunch, depending on the time), listening to music as I make it. Maybe pancakes with bacon, strawberries on the side. Or if I’m feeling like a sandwich I’ll have a BLT. I don’t feel sick after eating it so close to waking up like I usually do. 
Suddenly, the design I had clicks into a viable story. The ideas start flowing, and I’m completely taken into my imagination, reality doesn’t exist for a little while as I dive headfirst into this world of new if unclear possibilities. I write and draw things for it, likely pacing around the room and talking to myself to work things out. Much to the confusion of my cats, I’m sure.
I make something viable enough to post, and I feel excited enough to rant about it to my heart’s content, no fear. Feeling satisfied in my endeavours, I get to work on what I need to do that day, like making a comic page for the week and making a new design for Redbubble. If I have freelance work to do, that takes priority, knowing that I’ll need the evening to get together with my friends.
I wear my favourite colours, hat and scarf probably with a star on it somewhere, I feel cute but comfortable, no inhibitions about what I look like for once. We go out to eat (knowing my friends it’s probably sushi), maybe see a new animated movie that’s out and analyze the heck out of it. We laugh and talk for hours, a complete unit of solidarity in our combined friendship. I hear they’re all doing well in their endeavours, and I’m immensely proud of them.
I get back home in the evening, greeting my cats once again. The stars are out, and I stargaze for a little bit. I come back in and relax on the couch to watch TV or play a video game of some kind, probably scroll through my social feeds / check messages. I see pictures of the time out with my friends and I’m actually in them this time.
I get a message from whoever I consider to be my best friend, either from after the hangout if they were there or from earlier. We start chatting about art we’re making or ideas we have, bouncing them off left and right and encouraging each other the whole way. If we’re old friends, it’ll feel like it did back in grade school with our late night Facebook chats.
I go to bed feeling happy, and probably with at least one of my cats sleeping on me in a precarious spot. It doesn’t take long for me to fall asleep, aside from maybe the ideas still flowing. If so, I take some time to read or something down and then sleep, not too concerned about what’ll happen tomorrow.
8. What’s the worst movie trope in your opinion?
The first one that comes to mind for me is the “liar revealed” plot, overused and often a lazy source for conflict in the third act. I also hate forced romance in general but I’m not sure if that’s consider a trope or something broader. This applies to TV shows too.
9. What made you laugh the hardest ever in your life?
Hysterical laughter at reckless hours of the morning is what allowed me to survive college and the apocalypse that was 2016, so there are quite a few moments. One of them happened during a particularly bad bout of depression while I was alone in Toronto for the summer. Out of morbid curiosity I watched a shitty theatre rip of the Emoji Movie online to kill time while I couldn’t sleep (don’t ever do that, not recommended). Then my friend sends me her drawing of Spyro to make me feel better (important note: she doesn’t draw dragons) with a funny caption and I lose my fucking mind. Just... gone, immediately. After the soul-sucking depravity of that movie and my depression combined I’ll bet anything was funny. At that point I didn’t even care if I was being loud at whatever time it was at night I was WHEEZING. Bless my friend.
10. What animal is the most majestic?
All.
(though I am partial to dragons, cats and birds)
11. If you could afford everything, what kind of clothes would you wear?
I’ve noticed I often dress myself like a character designer would when it comes to colour coordination (hard to turn that part of my brain off lol), so I guess I would continue doing that but tailor it even more to that idea. That and fandom shirts all the time. And custom cosplay outfits that I could commission from other people, of both my fave characters and my own OCs. I make armour designs a lot so that would be so much fun. If I were a bolder personality I would probably wear the cosplays in public and see how many people notice, or see if it makes a kid excitedly point at me. If I could act I would recite a quote or two for them. It would be quite the game with something more subtle, and you get that one fan on the subway coming out of the woodwork like “...are you dressed like _____ from ______?”.

10 Questions Tag Game!
I was tagged by @taz-writes!!! Bless you, fairy wife.
1. What does your workspace look like? Do you have a designated ‘writing area’?
My workspace is my computer desk, my bed, or wherever I happen to be when I decide to write! I think I'm a writer who gets more inspiration when not at home though, like to be honest I will most definitely be that guy in the back corner of the IHOP writing bullshit poems at weird hours of the night. When I get a new laptop, anyway.
2. Do you prefer to write solo heroes or ensemble casts?
ENSEMBLE CASTS!! Look. LISTEN. Almost no one in the world is actually alone in any adventure. Even in high fantasy stories, the "chosen heroes" often have their little group of "less important" people... Or equally important people! And to those characters, self esteem issues aside, they probably consider themselves the protagonist as much as their hero friend? I can't imagine writing my story with just Katt's point of view, or writing less than a group of 2 or 3 period. It just feels silly to me to pretend like only one person's story is being told, when there are three other people right there with her.
3. Which of your characters reminds you the most of yourself?
Probably Argo. She's just so fucking tired of this shit man. So much shit has happened to her, torture and suffering and all that, and all it's done is make her infinitely more exhausted with everything ever. She's not a bad person, she's pretty nice, and she does what she can, but she is so. Tired. Of the LEVEL of BULLSHITTERY. It's incredible.
4. What’s one trait your main OC has that you wish you had, too?
I wish I knew how to let myself be angry, and how to let people be angry at me. It sounds dumb, but I can't handle either well. I know it's a natural feeling and all, but you know. Tortured writer stuff. Katt's way better at being angry than I am.
5. Have you changed or removed any major elements of your current WIP since its original draft/concept? What was the biggest change, and why did you make it?
Oh god uh... Yes, I have. A lot of them. I think the biggest change was a villain shift from a man named Kylee to a couple shitty dudes, Victor and Vincent, though he's comin' back at some point because I miss him. The original Kylee had a lot less direction and was mean for... Some... Reason? He had a VERY interesting design concept and all, but not much more. I was writing my story for a couple years at least before I said "This isn't working, I need something new." I think my story is a lot stronger for it!
6. If you had to give your main WIP a theme song, what would it be?
Through the Valley, by Shawn James.
7. What’s your favorite non-writing-related hobby?
I like to draw, watch video essays, and play video games. Preferably at the same time because I'm a menace to society.
8. What are some of your favorite books?
OH BOY! I could talk for hours about the Chaos Walking books, or about Warrior Cats. I really loved the Wolves Of The Beyond books as a kid too. And... Listen. I know it shouldn't be allowed. But TKAMB is a masterpiece classic for a reason, I loved the writing in it?? It was a joy to read in school tbh. Nowadays, if I'm honest, I don't read as much as I wish I could. I'm hoping this Writeblr thing helps with that.
9. What’s your favorite trope to read and/or write? What’s your least favorite?
I love found families from the bottom of my fucking heart. I love my dumb broken kids and the way they bonded, first out of necessity and then just because they loved each other? It's the sweetest, raddest thing. The trope I hate, that I see often in video games but also in books, is the fuckin "waaah my wife is dead so now im aloof and cold and can never love again and maybe im ~morally grey~ but it's just because my life sucks!! and my wife is dead!!" trope. You know the ones. The decently-muscled, scarred up 45 year old white dude that's got some flecks of white hairs, who lost "their Clara" in the war and are now weirdos who act like they're tragic. You're not special, John.
10. What do you love most about your own work and why?
I love so much about it? But honestly I have to say that my characters are my strongest point. I love my angry catamount, I love my creepy raccoon, I love my pointy fox. I like how distinct they are, and how they interact with each other! I have room to improve on my character building (everyone does!), but honestly? I think what I have with Katt and her squad (and with Ravaged as a whole) is really shaping up to be something good!!
I don't have anyone to tag yet, so I won't be writing out another question set right now immediately. Also, I'm really exhausted and don't know what I'd ask? But thank you for giving me the excuse to ramble, Taz! <3
