New OCs

(briefly, humans and supernatural beings have to team up for building better relations with each other and all the supernaturals can shapeshift and take on human appearances but also have their 'original form'.)

OK so I was GOING to draw fanart today - I had a fun idea and everything! But health anxiety (and anti-anxiety meds) wore me out so I kinda .... slogged through OCs as a treat to me. I am going to go to the doctor tomorrow so HOPEFULLY it's all okay.

#my characters #also kite is the worst socially and says things he thinks are surely fitting for a human conversation #but ends up insulting grady with 99% of the comments and that makes grady not fond of him #but then grady is like super pleasant to others and doesnt know how to act around kite and flubs a lot too #its a disaster and the twins are like oh no this is painful #mr tengu that was so tacky you cant say that to a human #mr tengu you cant DO that to a human STOP BEING LIKE THIS #while callum is just like wow this is hilarious thanks for bothering my younger brother its adding character to his life #and kite is stressed because thats the least encouraging thing to hear ever thank you v much hes TRYING to adapt #but also kite isnt his real name and he doesnt know squat about humans BUT he knows they have the internet #and so hes like well the problem is i dont want to actually say my name to you all because what if i am Online (TM) #and so he asks for a new name and then is like he should name me - the tiny one who wants to kick my ass should name me #so grady is like ....... nooooo...... dont............ and then suggests kite bc he's done google research #and kite is a type of bird and according to wikipedia has some familiarity to tengu so therefore yeah #and kite is like !!!!!! DOES HE ! KNOW THINGS ! and happily accepts the slightly researched name while the other humans #are like grady stop that is bullying the poor guy leave him alone pick a normal name! #anyway not drawn yet but there is a human guy partner for the twins and he immediately is like perfect #i know which is which lets go out and explore the human world for your research #and they dont understand how he knows them apart so fast and none of the other humans seem to tell em apart #but then none of the humans are shocked at the guy who knows so the girls are like sir howst do you know #and hes just v casual oh right yeah younger identical twin sisters - i have Practice ! and they are endeared to him haha #anyway if you read all those tags ty #and yes in his tengu form he does actually have the long nose please do not be mad #i just dont draw noses normally and im too tired to practice rn so #i only drew the second one today anyway - the first pic was done a couple days ago but i didnt wanna post on main #but then here i am posting on main #im sorry

Theo is such a good member of this cast because he's the only one who has the guts to bully Ryoken to his face.

#pov: you see your evil ally/frenemy in person after a grueling and destructive war that took the life of someone very close to you #and this is the first thing you say to him #theo I love you #spk watches vrains #also its very weird to see the subtitles call him Varis #sir that is Revolver #or as my partner likes to call him: #Mr. Ocelot #(My partner does not watch yugioh) #its MY yugioh I get to pick and choose what dub and sub names I use #yugioh #vrains #yugioh vrains #ygo vrains #yusaku fujiki #theodore hamilton #ryoken kogami

[spartalabouche]

'real name' meaning the name they do, or would if they could, go by irl(like in the case of closeted trans people, whatever name they would use if they were out)

if it depends on the context vote based on how frequently you are in that context

#txt #gekkering #if you have multiple partners idk just vote which best represents as a whole or just pick one idc do whatever makes you happy #sometimes i think about how often i dont call whitefang by her real name and its just like kind of funny idk #gonna get married and be like this is my wife Whitefang like the dog. #anyway just curious

so lately i’ve been obsessed with a 141 dancer au

gaz runs classes, has a youtube channel and quickly becomes one of the most sought after choreographers in the music video scene. soap is his dance partner for his classes, he helps run them and does demonstrations with him

ghost is also a choreographer and he’s gaz’s Arch Nemesis

he's famous for never performing his routines, never doing public appearances without his skull mask and being highly exclusive with who he allows to perform his choreo which earns him his name (since he’s a ghost creator). gaz however is a social media darling, his classes and videos regularly doing huge numbers

they both popped up around the same time and are neck and neck in terms of popularity and skill and they immediately rub each other the wrong way

gaz accuses ghost of not actually choreographing his routines himself bc no one has ever seen him dance and ghost thinks gaz is a clout chaser who's just in it for the fame instead of passion

he became a dancer as a way to channel his rage after years of being an underground fighter, the discipline and physicality helping him more than fights ever did. he hates the thought of someone just using it just to get famous when it literally saved his life

deep down they know their accusations are wrong and they have a grudging appreciation for the other's talent but they'd both rather die than admit it

price is a famous dancer turned director they both work with frequently and they always fight over him; trying to get their routines picked for his music videos. he's also the only one in the industry who's ever seen the ghost perform (before he got famous and before the Incident™)

he finally gets fed up with them constantly being at each other's throats and hires them both to work together and choreograph a joint routine. they're both famous in their own right but this video is for a huge artist so neither of them can refuse no matter how much they hate the other

gaz has a gymnastics background but also a ballet background which lends him to a more fluid style whereas ghost’s style is stronger, more masculine with sharper movements so they naturally end up butting heads

then there's soap who has a completely different style altogether, focusing on a more modern, breakdancer style which makes him see everything completely differently

but it also adds to his self-doubt bc he didn't have a formal dance education, he built his entire repertoire by himself. people see him as inferior to gaz who has that very formal, highly disciplined style. his insecurities about only ever being seen as gaz's demonstration partner and that he can only do gaz’s routines so all his skill is just an extension of him instead of being seen as a dancer in his own right forces him to adopt a rigid - destructive - perfectionism in himself and his body

soap meets ghost before the first rehearsal. he gets to the studio early to practice when sees this beautiful man dancing

he has no idea who he is but he moves so seamlessly, almost better than gaz, and he immediately falls a little in love. the man catches him watching in the mirror and he flusters, getting worse as the man just smirks at him and flawlessly completes the routine

soap tries to save face and asks him to teach him the routine he's doing

the man agrees, introducing himself as simon. the style of the routine is familiar to soap but he can't focus on it when simon's hands are on his waist, guiding him through the steps; his chest pressed up against his back. they work together beautifully, picking up each other's body language and dancing together easier and better than they've ever danced with anyone

then gaz arrives and the vibe in the studio immediately changes

simon's easy confidence becomes hostility, pulling up the skull gaiter he'd let hang around his neck as he practically pushes soap behind him to square up to gaz

soap’s shocked when gaz hits back with the same energy until he realises it's the same way he acts whenever he talks about ghost and his stomach drops

he steps out from behind ghost to side with gaz and the betrayal in simon's eyes hurts more than anything he's ever felt

from there it's romeo and juliet; camp gaz versus camp ghost as they fight over every step of the choreo and soap is the poor bastard stuck in the middle

soap tries to channel that “you’re my best friend’s rival, i have to hate you,” mindset but he can’t forget the way it felt to dance with simon

and how much he wants to do it again

#my friend mimi introduced me to gymnast gaz which made me think he grew up in competitive gymnastics and left it to be a dancer #whether his family was disappointed in that decision i havent figured out yet #the Incident™️ was roba getting simon directly from the underground and manipulating him into working at his strip club where price finds h #and pulls him out when roba tries to force him into sex work too #soap earned his name for being such a clean dancer and never making mistakes during performances #which just make his insecurities worse bc now he has to live up to his new reputation as well as fight of the gazs partner image hes gotten #farah and alex are definitely team gaz and i think nikolai would be his manager #then im thinking alejandro and rudy are team ghost with laswell as his manager #then bc soap is the odd man out hes used as tie breaks when they get into arguments about what move should go next in the routine #the pressure of picking correctly and the routine being essentially on his shoulders freaking him out just as much as having to choose #between his best friend who expects him to always side with him and ghost who always has good ideas #this isnt a negative haz au btw i think it would be a good way to explore his arrogance and stubborness #hes decided ghost is his enemy and nothing can pull him away from that #(except for what eventually does but im not sure what that is yet lmao) #i want soap at some point to completely overwork himself and his bad knee swells and gets irritated and finally gives out #and its ghost who forces him to take a break and convinces him that working his body to death wont help him be a better dancer #cue tender wound care and ghost backstory as he reassures soap that he is an amazing dancer #he offers soap a no stress space at his studio if he ever wants it & gaz overhears and thinks soap is betraying him and leaving so cue angs #we’re a team. ghost team #coming out of my cage and i’ve been doing just fine.txt #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghoap #john soap mactavish #kyle gaz garrick #simon ghost riley #save post #john price #cod 141 #soapghost au

my partner saw my url over my shoulder today (embarrassing) and said “property of KYLAR?! you’re property of a gen alpha middle schooler?!”

#like okay u picked like the most GENERIC trans girl name but go off…… #also im tired of typing ‘my partner’ #gonna refer to them as juni now #which is their nickname anyway

[localcryptidsteg]

first, knights of the old republic is fun! I'm having a good time and I like my little guy.

second, I am very very bad at it. I've lost count of my instant total party kills just bc I have absolute zero clue what I'm doing. I've just blown everyone up by successfully clicking the button that apparently means "blow up computer. yes, the computer you're currently touching. that one."

#I've named him marie and I picked him bc he had the most soulful eyes I've ever seen. I love him #I have. no idea. what the hell is happening #my little partner guy got mad at me that I wanted his deep dark personal backstory right away #that was funny I will admit #if you have any tips on Basic Mechanics Of The Game or What The Fuck Is Happening I will happily accept

trying to make friends makes me feel like im in 5th grade again

#outwardly i feel like im in 8th grade again but inwardly i feel like a 5th grader #I always feel like the kid who didnt pick a partner bcuz they didnt have anyone to go to #I always feel like the last to be picked for teams in gym #i always feel like the kid you sit next to and discuss eith but never remember their name #<- but during discussion they talk a little too much and too loud and the rest of the table trails off #i always feel like im following around the nice teen taking me to the lost and found after i got separated from my parents #i always feel like the kid who gets invited to play the first couple times but they have too many weird ideas and dont get invited anymore #im always too quiet or too loud or too dumb or too smart or too emotional or too stoic #And so everyone says im weird and wont play with me unless im the only option . #im a toddler that wandered into a world of grownups

I lost my Pokémon X&Y Nuzlocke </3 so now I’m replaying Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Timeヽ(˶ˆ∀ˆ˵♡)ノ!!!

#I love the main Pokémon games but they don’t have much replay value 😭💔 so I’m kinda glad I lost because I WAS GETTING SO BOREDDDDD!!!! #I have a new appreciation for Durant though so that’s pretty cool! #ALSO CAN I JUST SAY!!! #The Mystery Dungeon games are so amazing 💕 I’ve replayed Blue Rescue over ten times and still love it to death. #I think the games turning to 3D was the worst decision ever made for the Mystery Dungeon Series. #Whenever I replay Explorers of Time I always pick the same Pokémon I got when I was a kid. #I’m a Pikachu while my partner is a Mudkip named Stewie. #He was named after Stewie from Family guy 💀 I WAS LIKE 10 AND THOUGHT HE WAS FUNNY GIVE ME A BREAK PLEASE!!! #Now he’s a super nostalgic character for me. His full name is now Steward and Stewie is just a nickname. #I STILL HAVEN’T FIGURED OUT A TEAM NAME I LIKE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS </3!!!!!! #ANYWAY IM RAMBLING #DELETE LATER

Rewatching the trailers again and I love the voice they went w/ Jorms ingame but damn if that trailer voice didn't do something very Specific to my brain.

#text #just... the slightly deeper tone makes me go 'huwwwhahahwha' #my partner showed me it before i started playing iirc and i was like 'OH THAT ONE I LIKE THAT ONE' #thats why my username is this #i wanted to make my blog after i started playing but wasnt sure what to choose for a name and i was like 'well i like jorms' #'might as well pick sth jorms related' #and then i became a sylvari blog. fuck.

kinda feel like kit and nova's names should be swapped- kit feels like it fits the hyperactive, childish fox, while nova feels like it fits the reserved anxious otter. but i also sorta feel like there's a point to that once they reach the end of their stories... nova really grows into her name by the end because she's been forced to grow up very quickly. idk about kit but i really cant see them having a different name regardless sldkfjlkdsf

#also i like to imagine carracosta helped nova pick out her name #and its a very ''him'' kind of choice #besides the actual meanings of the names fit them more. nova means ''new'' and it also reminds me of the kirby character #thats sometimes regarded as a god in fanworks. when it was really crafted as such #and that really gives me psmd partner vibes #echoed voice #it also helps that i really wanna lean into kirby inspiration with my psmd. im so tempted to give dark matter an eye you have no idea

discussing fanfiction when i am a pretentious bitch is so hard for me to do bc i feel like there's this general presumption that if you're info fanfiction you must like a lot of the Popular Trappings Of Fanfiction

but my problem is that i go looking for things Specifically related to the character or the story or the setting first and foremost and Tropey things are often at the bottom of my list

it's kind of what gets me about the whole 'people are reading ai written fic omg we're going to be replaced' thing, like

an ai can probably write a competent formulaic romance full of commonly used tropes and then plug character names in, sure

but it's never going to be, like. specific in the way that i want my fic to be. like. an ai is not going to go "i want to write 10k words about this character being traumatized because the text kind of scratches the surface of that possibility but never really Gets Into It the way I want it to" or "i want to see how these two characters with an extremely specific dynamic would play off each other in this circumstance". that's what fic is about to me. i don't really care for the Big Tropes for the most part because like... they're tropes because they're shorthand and broadly applicable. I want hyperspecific, obsesive and chewing on the source material in a way where if you changed the names and tried to make the story original or unrelated to canon it would make absolutely 0 fucking sense and it cannot be repackaged as something else?

and that's not to say that no fic that CONTAINS any major tropes is inherently NOT that. I think a trope is a good jumping off point and I have read some fucking incredible takes on common tropes because the author had a really clear vision of how the characters and world would WORK in that framework. i'm more saying like... i don't look for trope first, character second. i look for fics by character first and the common fandom tropes it may or may not use are unimportant to me. i just want to see something about THIS specific character that comes from someone else who has A Lot of thoughts about This Specific Character?

#i think this is hard to explain in a way that doesnt make me sound like an asshole #and i also dont think that work that is formulaic or tropey first and character intensive second is Bad or Shouldnt Exist #just that it's not for me #and it's not what i'm looking for #and it kind of misses the point about what fanfiction IS to me #if i'm interested in a trope or a plot device or a setting there's tons of original fiction that may handle that in a new and interesting w #way* #but i go to fanfiction because i want to see other people using it as a vehicle to pick apart or study the material it's based on #that's what makes it fanfiction #if i just wanted to put my favorite characters in Literally Any Story i could find/replace their names in Anything #anyways #this is a probably incomprehensible rant #its friday i dont wanna work i wanna get off work and play zelda and hang out with my partners
