#one of these days i'll make an oc that's not an extension of myself who's completely normal with no tragic backstory

one thing I've noticed about my ocs (save a couple) as I clean up my timeline is that the most traumatic experiences they go through always happen in their childhood/teen years, the most crucial times of development for a person
the light party (paris evander achille patroclus) is especially affected by this. given that they're still young adults those memories are still relatively fresh to them since it happened in short amounts of time
paris: went through watching their parents slowly drift apart and so absorbed in their own problems that they essentially abandoned paris. paris was an afterthought for them, and they eventually learned to not rely on their parents for anything. they were invisible, they were voiceless. having hector 'die' and andromache dumping them on her relatives because she couldn't handle raising a child on her own didn't do paris any favors either. to be surrounded by people they never met before but invoked the ire in many was what made them isolated from any meaningful connection with the adults tasked to raise them. also had to fill their mother's enormous shoes by becoming the warrior of light when they were still young, something andromache failed to do. they were never a kid to begin with
evander: the trauma of being born at all has followed him throughout his life. having to watch his mother and stepfather dote on his baby brother while he languished from sickness set the tone for him from an early age. he could have anything he wanted, as long as he wasn't seen or heard. knowing that his stepfather never really looked at him the same again because of how he was led to believe that evander was his—when it was a dirty lie perpetuated by the family he married into. he was already set apart from the clan because of his eyes: the same shade as the father he never knew. with the rest of the family either ignoring him or downright spitting in his face led to an alienated adolescence that grew into a festering resentment
achille: achille doesn't remember his parents. he doesn't know if he was brought into the world by accident, but his existence was not welcomed regardless if the childhood bullying was anything to go by. and while he had chiron trying to keep him on the straight and narrow despite his own problems, trying to fulfill a promise to a mother he never got to know, achille entered his teenaged years full of rage and angst. he began to rebel, he tried to find his place in the world through violence as an outlet and fell into the wrong crowd—it was a lifestyle that had devastating consequences. he's particularly cagey about this period of time as he's not keen on sharing it with anyone. he would rather pretend it never happened regardless of the marks on his face
patroclus: you would think he wouldn't have any issues from how privileged his life has been, and that may have been true if he could've kept those memories of his parents' murder locked away a little while longer. he was much too young, but he remembers it like it was yesterday. he holds some envy towards evander for not being there that night; he didn't get to witness the long night of terror or the longer days being abandoned in the desert because the killer was too softhearted to snuff out his life. but instead of working through the trauma, the family collectively agreed to never talk about the incident as it was quickly swept under the rug because of patroclus' safe return. patroclus was forced to move on from that moment and continue being the golden boy, the apple of his grandfather's eye that absolved any sin his mother committed

Alright been a bit so sona update post.
Tumblr media
Picture because these don't get a lot of traffic without one but I don't have much else at the moment ANYWAYS
I'll start by saying, as always, I have plans to tweak any characters I leave behind into non-sona OCs if I make big changes, and that's especially relevant here as all three of these characters are very suited to being PoV characters for stuff in the world. Each represents a domain of things I'm hyperfixated on and by extension a subset of stuff in the setting. Technology, biology, mythology. They have interesting dynamics as mostly comical frenemies. They all have interesting backstories and personalities.
And this is a problem.
None of them feel like me anymore. They've strayed from the ideal of how I want a character like me to look and act in an attempt to avoid having three characters who are just idealized versions of the author running around. Frankly on a bad day Theriadh in particular is... Almost uncomfortable. The way I do her jawline is visually nice but as a character who's just me she kinda gives me a twinge of dysphoria. Her personality has also grown increasingly unlikeable in an attempt to make her a borderline villain and it's dragged her into a darker place than I'd like- and I should probably fix that either way, but I'm not sure I want to fix the rest. Maybe it's time to just let her be her own thing.
499 is also just... Kind of nothing. I like how her canonical job as a character, initially as essentially a delivery drone and then adapted into running it herself to deliver supplies across her entire region, is something sort of menial, but helpful and a little whimsical. I'd rather have a job like that for my sona than The Arbiter Of Life And Death or something, OP sonas aren't bad but they're not mine. I also like that she's a robot. That's... That's it. Sorry girl I've been an irresponsible parent.
Q.C. is probably in the best place and I'm not sure it's just because I'm attached because she got more work done recently. Her backstory is nice, her design on a species level is very appealing to me with all the quirks Harpies and Vampires have (Harpies grouping with Fey in the setting so she essentially has a double-dose of weird vulnerabilities, magic antics, and compulsions, so literally me), but the character under that is... Not me. Developed, but not me, and even her looks sort of have the opposite problem of Thia where I made her too dainty.
This makes a good argument for sort of making Q.C. and calling it a day, though in practice I'd probably be splitting the difference between her and another character. The Vampire who turns her, I realized during a shower thought last night, should probably also be a Harpy, hence why they know each other- well, maybe. I could essentially just drop a genderbent Q.C. design, role as "magical member of the trio," and personality on him and then rework a (probably more Aequornithes-themed) Q.C. design out and just use her as my sona. Short of that, obviously, he also wouldn't need to be a Harpy, and there could be a dynamic between pre-mortem Q.C. and him of a sort of mutual mystique where one being Fey and the other being Undead puts them worlds apart and stuff.
However, I also just can't control myself.
I'd want mechanical features back, I think. There's just an occasional "oh to be a funny doll/robot" longing I have, which having three characters was intended to solve. Making 499 also made me realize that having a robotic character and having a character with robotic traits were really not substitutes for each other. If I just stop caring about the rules of my own setting a Vampire Robot would probably be doable but there's a certain game I'd be associated with (it's a good game, but I don't want my whole branding to come off as just a parody) and making it carry the equally important bird themes would be complicated. It's more tempting at that point to make a character that's just innately flexible on a conceptual level, and the idea of modifying Thia from an explicit Dragon to a more generalized monster has been very compelling for a long time (considering the species name Jabberwock, which is fitting because other than my tendency to throw big scary mystery words around I'm kind of the exact person the poem was making fun of).
The third and most developed option for a replacement character is back to robot, but in a more flexible way- essentially a techno-slime. Could rework herself to look different or utilize new pieces of machinery, letting her cover a lot of conceptual space. This is... Just a really cute concept, I think. I definitely want to keep an avian slant which could make that all confusing but we'll just say she chose a frame to inhabit most of the time that just looked birdy, because she likes flight.
Now, obviously, you might here me lay out three concepts once again and think "wait, we're back at square one." Well, true, but at this point I'm getting tired of not being able to just say "I'm Northy and this is my coherent, singular OC that represents my personality, Northy." I think I need to get back to that, even if it carries a lot of weird conceptual baggage. Or maybe I don't and just get comfy with having three again, wouldn't be the first time. Until then, uh... Hope this is actually appearing on people's feeds, seems I haven't been getting as much reach as before.

「🫐 ; 🐕🕊️ & possible 🍪」 24, she/him, AFAB.
About me ≫ I mirror the length & detail of my partners! I'm okay with written/animated/irl faceclaims. I'm hoping to play a POC (likely SEA) chara myself.
Looking for ≫ fandomless MxM discord rp & a sadistic dom top OC to my bottom OC! Romance, smut, and happy ending is a must! (However toxic that may look like to our OCs) 🤭 AMAB OCs (I'm uncomf rping PiV Sex).
Themes ≫ Animalistic features ('red rocket'/'lipstick', barbed) in your OC's lower penile anatomy—preferably while humanoid! This is a call for Kemonomimi/Animal-shifting (ie. werewolf) OCs! MC would be humanoid! I'm not looking for sole bestiality, but I'm def open to a portion of smut scenes having YC in animal form!
Also open to including all sorts of dead dove content so just ask how I feel about [xyz]! We can more than likely include your deepest darkest wants!
Kinks of focus ≫ Sadomasochism, 🍪 age gap, lots of dirty talk, dubcon, and forced orgasm.
I'd prefer to play a more inexperienced OC at this time. However! I can deeply assure you that my OCs never just moan during smut (no limp fish in this house honey!), they will always talk and react extensively so that you have plenty to work with. This goes for both enthusiastic AND unenthusiastic reactions. Be warned that my bottoms sound like obscene whores when they get into it! I'm expecting lots of dirty talk from both sides!
Just be aware I don't have many pre-made OCs, and I usually make a new one for each rp. You can literally help me mold my OC to be your type if you want. & just cause my OC is submissive in bed, doesn't mean they'll be a Gary Stu!
Please ≫ be a long term 20+ high-energy partner who I can joke and be friends with, unashamedly enthusiastic about our OCs (via spamming hcs & memes & other media), not afraid of being too much, contribute to plotting, comfortable & confident enough to strongly communicate your rp needs and wants, listen attentively to what I have to say/ask during plotting, available for back-n-forth rping (NOT rapid fire) some days!
If you lose interest while plotting, tell me so I know to look elsewhere. Respect my time and I'll respect yours! Thank you!
like if you're interested and anon will reach out

Servantember, Day 1: Johannes Gutenberg (Caster)
So, back in January, I decided I would take out two New Year's resolutions in one (doing stuff with all the concepts I had for Fate OCs and finally getting around to practicing drawing), and ultimately I decided to give myself a month-long challenge of drawing a character a day, chucking the list of names into a randomizer wheel and drawing whoever came up. I didn't quite manage to stick to the daily thing as I ended up busier than expected, some days having to double or triple up to play catch-up, and I didn't manage to stick to it for the whole month, but I made it 23 days in, which was pretty damn close, and I do intend to get back to the rest at some point. With all of that said, I'll be posting those here for the next while, each with a bit of lore/trivia/etc. to go with them under the cut.
Tumblr media
First one to come up was Johannes Gutenberg, German inventor who revolutionized European publishing with his printing press! He's accompanied by Titivillus, a demon said to be responsible for causing mistakes in manuscripts on the devil's behalf, and considered to be a possible origin for the term "printer's devil", used to refer to a printer's apprentice.
Lore Notes:
-A dignified, serious sort, for the most part, befitting of his status as a master craftsman. He's constantly tinkering with something or other, and thrives on new ideas, however foolish they might seem in concept. He admires creativity in his Masters, and when he does manage to get a plan going, he can't help but have himself a good laugh. It'd be easy to underestimate him based on his lack of magical ability, but you would come to regret it quickly, as he can be a dastardly son of a gun when he wants to be.
-Gutenberg's magecraft is based on the spread of information. While his combat ability is practically nonexistent, he excels in his particular niche and is very much a force to be reckoned with.
-His main Noble Phantasm, Das Werk der Bücher, is the conceptual embodiment of his invention of the printing press, and the free spread of information it entails, granting his Master unlimited access to information on their opponents, as well as the ability to pass on that knowledge to others far and wide if they so wish. It can also be weaponized to bombard one's enemies with useless information, serve as a distraction, or even print money. As long as it's within the realm of distributing information or printing things, he can make it happen. The main drawback of this ability is that it takes extensive setup, as he must first rebuild his printing press from scratch with all of the trial and error that it took the first time.
-His passive Noble Phantasm, Aventur und Kunst, allows him to read through existing archives and written texts pretty much instantly as long as he can access them in some format, as well as allowing him free reign over physical printing of said information, since he claimed his initial period of research granted him the secret of printing.
-He's a frowned-upon choice by the Mage's Association and mage society at large, what with the importance of one's methods maintaining their secrecy. If there's a Holy Grail War banlist, he's certainly on there, however unofficially.
-Titivillus typically hangs around Gutenberg's rival, Johann Fust, but has unwittingly been dragged along with Gutenberg this time. As part of his responsibility as a demon is collecting stray chatter and misspoken words during church services, he carries his ERRATA sack with him. He's agreed to serve as a proper assistant to Gutenberg while he's around, peppering his enemies' works with typos, making them trip up their words at critical moments, and generally helping out with printer's devil duties. He may not seem like much, but it might be he's just holding back until he gets the raise he's been hoping for.
-While Gutenberg's workings mainly involve printing and information, he's also quite skilled in the making of mirrors. They have no magical effects whatsoever, and mostly just kind of look nice, but maybe you can pass them off as something special and make a quick buck?
Design Notes:
Went fairly straightforward with the depiction to start things off, using the few existing posthumous portraits of Gutenberg as a reference for his appearance. The coat was initially going to be designed to look like an open book, but I liked the idea of making it out of pieces of type more, so I went with that instead, keeping the book thing to the lapels. There are two easter eggs hidden on the coat, if you're interested in looking for them! Finally, Titivillus was the result of me going down a rabbit hole researching the term "printer's devil", and I thought the office worker getup made sense for a more bureaucratic, word-based type of demon.

Good day to you! I'm Ore (Tes is also acceptable). She/her pronouns only, please. I've roleplayed off and on since Quizilla was a common fandom name, from Email to Tumblr to Twitter and a scattering of others. My hyper-fixations are Undertale - more so its abundance of AUs - and Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach. The only roleplay(s) I would have an interest in would involve either or in some capacity, whether that be canon-compliant or lifting the characters off the page for use in an original idea. I'll unabashedly admit my interest lies in OC x CC plots but how that is portrayed is up for discussion; as much as I fancy a romance, it's a shame platonic pairings often fall by the wayside.
Specifications
While I'll consider OC x OC, CC x CC is off the table.
FxM is where I'm most comfortable but I'm open to MxM. FxF I've never done but am not opposed to.
21+ is preferred. Due to the possibility of dark content and heavy topics, I won't write with anyone under 18. Honestly, the thought of writing romance alone with a minor squicks me out.
Smut is an option and can even be the focus. I'm not picky between plot or lewd-driven. Limits and kinks will be thoroughly discussed if anything sexual is to take place.
Speaking of, my tastes are extensive. I love horror, thriller, survival, romance, slice of life, fluff, angst, hurt/comfort—suggest something and there'll likely be an angle I'd enjoy.
I default to 2-3 paragraphs per character or thereabouts and expect a similar effort. No one-liners of any sort. I'll mirror you when applicable and can write more if need be. Just please, no 1,000+ word replies. Mad respect to you lot but I just do not have that amount of energy anymore, good Lord.
Doubling is the expectation, yes? No? Is that how it's done here? I'd be happy to do so so we're both satisfied, at any rate.
Depending on the length of a reply, expect a response every one to three days. Take as long as you need to get back to me; I'm unbothered if you need some personal time or have a busy life. Take a week or two—hell, a month. I've got a chock-full schedule myself.
Over Discord (Orestes#6316) would be the highly preferred option.
Fandoms
Fnaf SB: I haven't gotten the opportunity to write for this yet. I'd be willing to try out most of the cast as long as wiggle room is given. As for who I want to write against, a Sundrop, Moondrop, or even an Eclipse are, well, it. They are responsible for 80% of my current brain rot.
Undertale: My experience here is spotty and with so many AUs and interpretations of those AUs, I'm not confident making a blanket statement. I'd be able to write one of the skeletons, particularly a Sans, far better than any of the other characters. Be mindful that I can't guarantee the portrayal you're seeking; fandom is vast and a lot of original canon has been lost before even touching upon my personal headcanons. Who I'm looking for in return is also a long list of Sanses. In no particular order: any of the Bad Sanses group (including the less accounted for Error), multiple -fell verses, multiple -echo verses, and any iteration of -swapfell or -fellswap (though I have my favorites, many versions appeal to me). On occasion, I catch myself eyeing the Papyruses from the mess of -fells. There's more AU's I like but we'll be here all day if I list them all.
If you have any interest or questions, you can contact me through PMs or Discord (if the ad is old, Discord is your best bet). Please, please, please tell me something in your message. A plot, which fandom, what characters you're thinking—anything. "Hi" or "can we rp" doesn't inform me of any of your wants nor expectations.

💻 — how many friends have you made in the rpc? feel free to tag a few of them!
Oooh, quite a few. Some are very near and dear to me and some have sadly gone on to better things. I'll mention a few. @magellan-88 My eternal partner in crime, someone I rant to and we usually have a good laugh, plotting nonsense with our boys and doing the gay shit to spite nutty family. Not sure where I'd be without you. Thanks for not running away screaming when you saw the earliest iterations of Phoenix. @verratensduo Here's a bloke who gets shit he doesn't deserve. Our discord is full of ideas and streaming is always super fun. I've sucked him into Doctor Who hell with me and now Jojo. Always down for the aforementioned gay shit. @electricea My roblox bestie! Got me into Persona properly and was very patient with smol edgelord babby Saburo. Their Ryuji is great and we have some good chemistry going on between them. Not to mention we chat loads and the mun is really nice. @heromuses A beloved Shoto and someone with great OC ideas that do not get enough attention and it makes me sad because they're all great. Their Denki is funny without being pure density and Mina is a ball of sunshine. Puts up with my latest Quirk nonsense that summons a pound of spaghetti if you sneeze at 6AM while scratching your toe or something. Thanks for putting up with my brain nonsense. @smithjanesarah A dear friend who appreciates the classic era of Doctor Who as much as I do. Their Sarah is top notch and they put up with me when I was first writing for the Fourth Doctor and the teething troubles. Now we're more active on a forum, it's always a delight plotting their next misadventure. @kudocookie Imagine dragons. Then imagine Yugioh Saburo without dragons, it doesn't work. Thankfully they've got me covered and we've written extensively about my idiot's misadventures with big roary bois sticking it to the proverbial man. @spidermuses Spiders, another BNHA bestie and one of the first to welcome me into this fandom. Put up with early Quirk nonsense and we had some fun putting Saburo on both the hero side and villain side. Had fun RPing Sab’s angsty rage at Toshinori and the eventual adoption was so sweet. I missed you and it’s nice you’re back. So yeah, 7 in no particular order. Just those who first came to mind. I can't see myself leaving this community anytime soon despite being an old fart in age terms. I found RP in a very dark time in my life and it got me through some of the darkest days I've had. It's not my full time job, but it's certainly a favourite hobby.

Fanfic asks for askers
1- My favorite fic of yours Riza as the Flame Alchemist!! You already know how crazy I am about it but my god, it HAUNTS me. The POSSIBILITIES!! The WRITING and THEMES! The ANGST! THE KIMBLIZA AAAAAAA
5- No specific one jumps to mind, but I like Harry Potter and your famous rarepair has interesting characters, so I’ve always wanted to try one out! With your extensive catalogue of fics about them I’m sure I’ll find something I’ll end up adoring, I’ve been keeping it as a cozy afternoon plan for when I need it
6 & 7 together: That chapter in Metallic Crimson with Edward drugged and on the verge of death. For better or for worse it’s the story beat that immediately comes to mind whenever I think about MC, my god. I am still devastated that chapter did THINGS to me Limeta you don’t understand
10- And that ties nicely with the previous question. I never expected to be interested in Kimblee & Edward as a duo whatsoever, looking back there’s def interesting material from canon to play with for their dynamic, but I just never cared fr fr. A big part of your FMA fics focus on these two’s relationship to each other and it’s so cool!!! Kimblee caring for a kid? Unheard of. Edward grappling with moral ambiguity? Unthinkable. They are so cool together and unexpectedly heartwarming and interesting to follow. Just make them hug already
8- What I like the most about your writing is a tough question, I’d say overall it’s your sense of pacing! Idk how to say it except how very well-made your fics are. The atmosphere is always on point, the humor is genuinely very fun, the prose is haunting and visceral sometimes, the imagery is often so poetic both in execution and concept, but maybe the most impressive of all is how you tie all of this up so seamlessly together! Your fics always make for very easy reads that swiftly brings u along for an adventure and that’s very cool. Oh!! Also you explore a very wide range of themes and ambiances, like there’ll be fics that are so fluffy and simple and slice of life yippee, and then next to that you’ll have a fic about how alcoholism impacts someone and one about cultural elitism and the very serious political and social issues ensuing, and it’s genuinely touching and well done and has something to say! Very interesting and in depth, coherent original worldbuilding too. You also make me care about ocs and chars I normally don’t care for, so kudos on that. Aghhhh what can I say, I’m a fan. I am playdough between your mastermind typing fingers, you can make me feel anything you intend so easily and you never fail
11- More kimbliza fluff. Make them in love. Make them be cute and sweet 🙏🙏 Also them bantering and razzing each other but I scavenge your Tumblr for those interactions snippets enough that I feel decently satiated on that front. Who else is gonna write my needed dose of kimbliza? Me? Haha you jokester you
12- I always reread a bit when I write up my long comments, but I don’t often reread fics fully. I also often bookmark your fics and write my favorite bit on it so I can go and reread those parts. But I can def see myself doing full rereads in the future too, usually I reread some fav fics every year or so. Or to get back in the kimbliza writing headspace also, your fics are def perfect for that 🙏
13- Oh yeah for sure. I don’t have many friends into FMA alas, but I force my mom whom I get along very well with to read fanfics I really like and want others to read + have someone to talk about it with lol, and lemme tell you the level of harassment I used for her to read RFA… I’m still trying to get her to read MC though -clenches fist- one day…
9- RFA please…. Please…. Plea-
Tbh I SHOULD update RFA it's just that I kind of got scared that it might be so fucked up people wouldn't like it but if Noda sensei can write a sperm fight in golden kamuy and still have me invested perhaps I, too, can have Riza Hawkeye traumatize us all just a little more than she already has.
I'll write RFA. I will!! I know how it ends!! It's just that I have to write a lot of action and I kinda suck ass at action
Miku. Miku please read Awareness if you're gonna read my HP fics. Please give that story some love it is forgotten and nobody has read it in years. I love that fic to bits. It's one of the most darling stories I've written. Is in my head rent free. I think about chapter 10 of that story almost every week.
But if you want Abraxas Malfoy then definitely read Retired Prometheus. If you want worldbuilding on par with MC? Then Retired Prometheus is for you! And luckily for you, it's finished. I mean awareness is too but RP is like chefs kiss.
All of MC began because I wanted to ask the question: what if Kimblee found Edward and Alphonse? But then the more I wrote the more I asked myself What if Edward and Alphonse got to know Kimblee?
To me their dynamic is the most fascinating in MC. That level of hidden trust between them continues to endear itself to me. Edward can say shit all he likes and Kimblee can tease him about his childishness all he likes but the both of them understand on a fundamental level that they are both deserving of respect and that they do respect each other as alchemists first and foremost and then as allies. We do get the former in Canon but the latter is interesting to further delve into. Though Kimblee did save Edward's life with Pride in Canon so!! I just built on that :D
Also miku, did you read the re-done Fullmetal Lotus? It's got 3 chapters now and like 10k more words. Definitely more of Kimblee and Ed being a duo. Plus some self indulgent Kimbliza (CURSE U MAES HUGHES U DONT KNOWNHOW DELICIOUS THE KIMBLIZA IS IN MC)

I made the decision to once again download the detestable app that is amino because I am a fool. A desperate fool trying to live out her old role play days and perhaps rekindle a fire of writing well. Or decently. 🤣 I have many, MANY poor memories of amino, and I don't wish for those at all, but when times were good, they were good.
Tbh, what I really want is for those people who role played well and had good communication with me to start where we left off. The amounts of role plays that could have gone somewhere but ultimately ended because people left or became bored is just sad 😔. I technically was one of those people, too, I guess, so I can't complain too much.
My shipper heart just kinda enjoyed the crack ships, and I wasn't even really using original characters, I was just rehashing an existing character as a sort of mock OC for different fandoms. Maybe that's my issue. I should focus first on establishing my own characters before jumping into the ring that is role play. Most people don't even care if you play a canon character well or not. Or, at least, I don't think they do. One way, maybe. Like, I play the existing party of characters, and you bounce off me with your new character. But not us using canon characters all around.
I think I'm just venting at this point, lol. I want to do so much for myself and make it seem like I'm such a creative little fandom bug with many hobbies. In reality, I can only do so much. And by extension, participate in so much.
The only upside is that perhaps I can find potential rp partners and friends by extending my stay on amino a little longer. It's only been about 5 days or so. Not to mention, working on character wikis and plotlines for stories...that's about it, though, haha.
Perhaps one day I can live out that Hikaru and Miyuki one-shot fantasy... If push comes to shove, I'll write about it.

Oh god, I have so many favorite OCs. I should honestly talk about another character but FUCK IT I'MMA TALK ABOUT MARTIN SOME MORE.
MY BEST BLORBO BOY.
What is something they are really self-conscious about?
Martin is not embarrassed or ashamed about much of anything. He will usually put on a mask for others, not because he's necessarily self-conscious, but because he understands the power of a good performance. Truthfully, Martin is hedonistic and self-absorbed and a political snake, but he doesn't consider these traits inherently bad. Rather, he considers them to be privileges that he's earned.
However, there is one thing that he IS ABSOLUTELY self-conscious about. Martin grew up in Lower London, and in a very poor part of Lower London at that. He doesn't hide it-- it's a matter of public record, after all-- but he doesn't talk about it. Ever. After being lifted into Midtown by a patron and enrolled in Midtown Academy, Martin made it his mission to become someone powerful and influential.
“I left that part of my life behind, and I made a promise to myself to never look over my shoulder. But sometimes, like today, I crest a hill and see a ghost waiting for me at the crossroads. I’ll never be able to wash my hands of it entirely, no matter how hard I scrub under the nails.” He smiled, almost sadly. Then, he whispered, “I’d cut the fucking things off, if it would make a difference.”
Who is your OC’s best friend? How did they meet?
Other than Eckehart (god I mean just look up the HartMart tag for that one), that would be Odette Marsh. Odette was his dear friend at Midtown Academy. A very hungry, very tired, teenage Martin passed out and basically fell into her in the hallway one day. Odette found him to be oddly charming despite the fact that he never smiled. They formed a very close friendship, but they had a falling out when Martin chose to work for Belks at Schmidt & Foster after university. Now Odette is an ADC Rep, actively making legislative moves against Schmidt & Foster and Martin by extension.
They will eventually become good friends again, I think. Martin is not the asshole she assumes he became... mostly.
Is your OC left-handed, right-handed, or ambidextrous? Also, can they flip a pancake without dropping it?
I've never thought about this. I'll bet he's left-handed, but he also doesn't write much with his hands-- everything's digital.
Martin cannot flip a pancake period. As far as he's concerned, the best part about being wealthy is never having to cook your own food. He burns everything he makes himself.

Tumblr media
Some things never change.
I met her on a sunny day. The leaves had not yet turned their shade of red, and the flowers were in full bloom. She was laughing, lost in her world amongst the flowers. Even then she was beautiful. I remember the way her hair sparkled its soft shade of red in the setting sun, the way her cheeks turned pink at even the slightest sign of a smile, the way she resembled light and love...the way she still does.
Father had warned me against meeting her, he told me that I had obligations which she could not be a part of. We were born to stay separate. She was born to never know me. I was born to stay away.
But I had to see her at least once, I had to meet her.
I should've known that she would only be hurt in the end.
Maybe I shouldn't visit her now. Maybe I should erase her from my memory. Maybe this was how it was meant to be.
But I can't do that. I can't leave her alone.
Not even now.
A soft call from a raven who waits on the branches of a giant oak which protects where she now sleeps breaks me out of my thoughts. I smile softly before looking up into the tree, though it may be bitterly.
"Hello, Taehyung."
At the mention of his name, he narrows those pitch-black eyes and flies off the branch, transforming into a man. Standing next to her, like the protector he was meant to be, he narrows his eyes. His hair black like his feathers, his cloak as majestic as his wings, he doesn't say a word.
Any familiarity we may have had with the other is gone now.
"Did you know I was coming?" I ask him, weary to move forward.
"I'm still your familiar, master. Of course, I knew."
Though he may have been my familiar in the past, that contract was broken long ago. He now serves one purpose, and it's a lost one.
But at least he knows his purpose.
Can I say the same?
"I'll leave you to speak with her." He murmurs before transforming once more and flying away. Not far enough that he won't be able to watch over her, but far enough so that I can speak to her without any interruptions.
Once he's gone, I'm left alone with her.
But there are no words left to say.
Biting my bottom lip, I kneel before her and offer up the flowers I've brought from my garden. The garden I first saw her in, the garden where I was reunited, the garden where she left.
How can one have so many memories, and then be lost every time they were together? How can she be marked on my heart, and yet every time I visit her, it's as though it's for the first time?
Even though I can remember every curve to her face, even though I could tell you the very color of her, even though I could describe to you in extensive detail the movement of her lips, the flutter of her eyes...
...I still long to see it one last time.
"I wasn't made to know you," I murmur, hardly even able to raise my eyes to her. I made this resting place, and yet I cannot bear to lay eyes on it. I can't bear to come to the reality that she is no longer able to stay by my side.
"Did you know that?" I chuckle, remembering her strong spirit, her laugh. "I'm sure you did, but you never cared."
Why do you trust fate?
"You never believed me."
I was made to defy fate.
"If I had told you this would happen...then would you have stayed away?"
I make my own path.
"Then would you have been safe?"
And it just so happens that I want you to be a part of it.
I didn't know tears until I met her. And on the day she left, I thought that all my tears had been used up. I thought that would be the last time I allowed myself to cry.
If that were the case, then why are my cheeks wet?
Is this what they call...despair?
Grief?
"I came here to tell you that I won't be visiting anymore." I swallow hard, staring at the flowers, and watch as the harsh wind pulls some of their petals from the stem. Leaving them to make their path on the current of the wind.
"I've decided that I'm going to move on."
One day I won't be here anymore.
"You told me to be happy."
I just want to know that you'll be okay.
"So I'm going to try my best to find what that means."
Swallowing hard, I hesitate for a moment, my hand shaking before I grab hold of the porcelain edges and pull the mask off of my face. Holding it gently in my two hands, I stare at it. It holds so many years of pain and suffering, hides a part of myself that I wish I could forget.
And yet it also reminds me of her.
"You know...every time I think of you I'm in pain."
Memories of her laugh, the sunlight sparkling off of her hair, the flowers in bloom, and her sweet voice echoing over the walls of the castle in which I reside. A prison which she turned into a home.
A home that has broken with her absence.
The mask used to hide a person who I wished had never existed. But now it is useless, because with her...
I am grateful to be alive.
"But I don't want to forget you."
I smile before placing it next to the flowers.
Today is a sunny day. The leaves have not yet turned their shade of red, and the flowers are in full bloom. It's a beautiful day, and on the breeze, I can almost swear I hear her whisper, a ghost of a laugh that will continue to live on in my dreams. For she will always be dancing, even if it's not with me.
And though it kills me, I smile.
I'm unable to forget the tears, unwilling to forget her.
Because even after all this time...
"I still want you."

Naruto OC ship week
Prompt: Hair
@narutoocshipweek
Synopsis: Temari, Kankuro and Gaara were adopted by the well reknowned couple Hatsue (OC) & Sasori, a few decades when the siblings had long been adults, they reunite and reminisce their childhood
Tumblr media
[This prompt will become a future chapter to my existing fanfic at FF.net ]
"You know what, our parents are jerks." Kankuro grimaced and then downed his cup. With a tap, he set it down and his younger brother moved to pour more for him.
Temari, the eldest of the Sand Siblings, giggled in her drunkenness, letting out hiccups afterwards, her eyes half-lidded as the alcohol kicks in. "No kidding."
Gaara couldn't help but snort at that, an action he wouldn't be caught doing in a sober state.
"I mean first, there's our birth mother who couldn't keep herself alive." Kankuro complained. "Don't worry, Gaara, I'll say this again and again: you didn't have to anything to do with her death. Mother protested against Father from making you a jinchuriki and strained herself, risking you to be prematurely born."
The red head sipped generously from his cup. "Then there's our birth Father, who tried to have me killed multiple times for the sake of testing my control over Shukaku."
"Which was real shitty of him." Temari concluded. "He was a stellar father... in another life, probably. Kami, he was terrible."
"He was indifferent to me." Kankuro huffed, downing his shot in one go.
"I could never get a single praise out of him, no matter how well i perform my jutsu." The eldest of the three complained, wiping her face with her hand.
"He tried to have me killed. Multiple times."
The three looked at each other and barked a laugh.
"Oh gosh, are we competing on who among us siblings he treated the worst? Gaara wins that contest hands down." Temari grabs the bottle of sake to herself and orders a new one for her brothers.
"Hey, you should slow down, if you drink too much, we'll get your husband and we'll be cutting our reunion short." Kankuro nagged, squinting his eyes at her.
"I can hold my liquor, Kankuro, besides I know my limits, after this one I'll try to sober up before Shikamaru arrives." Temari assures her brothers, and then takes a swig out of the bottle. She looked... solemn now. "Sorry, I couldn't be here for their burial."
Kankuro gave her a sad smile and Gaara nods at her. Burials here at Suna, when a person dies, the body is buried at the same day because of the heat. The hot weather makes a dead body permeate a strong foul odor so funerals are held almost immediately.
"Hatsue-kaa-san was a damn jerk too." Temari says this without bite, her eyes dulled as she remembers memories of their adoptive mother.
"Yep, mom was a jerk." The middle child agrees, snorting in his drink.
"Agreed." The red head nods, not only to affirm his elder siblings' statements but because the room starts to sway.
"She was so disgustingly kind."
"She was. She had no business on what happens to us and yet she goes ahead and adopts us. Strangers. We would have been orphans if it weren't for her."
"In a way, we already were. Mother died early. Father was negligent."
"She let me use her paints, her paint brushes and... she would paint on my face too.", Kankuro reminisced, a nostalgic smile graced his lips. "She used to tell me I was handsome-
"it's either I'm biased to say you're handsome because you're my son or you're really handsome", the three simultaneously quoted.
"Such a jerk, blowing up my confidence like that."
"Yeah, I remember her combing my hair, hated my hair because-" She looks at her brothers alternately then her eyes went back to her bottle. "Kankuro looked like he got his genes from Hatsue-kaa-san, Gaara looked like he got his from Sasori while I look like neither of them. I look like Uncle Yashamaru. that bastard."
"Everyone here in Suna, knows what's the deal with us. It doesn't matter."
Temari shrugged nonchantly "When we would all travel for Sasori's spy network... It was nice to pretend that we were their real children."
"Yeah."
"... The people would give us scandalous looks, doing the math, it would seem they conceived Temari at 16, Kankuro at 17 and I at 18."
The blonde and the raven head guffawed hysterically, remembering the instances conservative people coming up to their mom and passing down unwanted advices. Sasori would hide a smile and Hatsue-kaa-san would turn as red as her husband's hair.
"Hatsue-kaa-san would tell me she loved my hair. She said every time she brushes my hair it's like she's spinning threads of gold."
Kankuro made a vomiting sound. "She was such a... sap."
"... i miss- ... She would hug me the longest."
"She taught me how to care for myself... and I loved it every time she would do her skincare with me." The memories brought the distinct smell of rose scented lotions and citrus moisturizers.
"She would hover around whenever I would get ready to paint my face." Kankuro chuckled fondly.
"You were their favorite." Temari says, a hint of envy was there and there was also acceptance with the way she shrugged her shoulders.
"Me? No way-" The puppeteer tried to deny it; he didn't believe it anyway since there was this saying about middle children often are ignored.
"You are. Hatsue-kaa-san loved that you were interested in painting and Sasori .. bonded with you through puppet making." The red head gave Kankuro a slow nod.
"You don't need to feel bad, our birth mother, Karura's favorite would be Gaara and Rasa's favorite was me, being the first born and all... before he got into the council."
"You were Uncle Komushi's favorite too, Temari, not just father's."
She laughed at that. "Oh, I miss that old man. I think I only became his favorite because of the fact that I was the eldest. He used to say I was what Sasori owed him."
"And Chiyo-baa-san favored Gaara the most."
They had grins on their faces and it slipped quietly to sad smiles. Memories flooded them, brought them happiness and warmth more than they could ever hold, thus it was no wonder if their eyes were a little misty. They blame it on the alcohol.
"I should've spend more time with them." Kankuro opens up, sake really did have a way in making an honest man out of him.
"I should've brough Shikadai more for a visit." Temari regrets
"I should've called him otou-san, at least once."
The three shared a look and couldn't help but be immersed in their shared regrets.
"We should've."
"But Sasori was an asshole."
"Agreed. He made it hard to call him so."
"His guard was up."
"He was stern."
"He threatened to kill me." Gaara paused, and then added. "Understandable since at that time, I recently attempted to kill his wife."
The older siblings froze and stared at the youngest.
"That happened?"
"You never told us."
The red head shrugged.
"But... he was a father to us. In his way. He would find wind technique scrolls for me to learn. When we were younger, I remember him tying my hair up, although Hatsue-kaa-san made him do it but still..." Sasori had a stoic expression the whole time but the slow, barely there tugs as he gently brushes her hair, belies that he cared despite his seeming indifference. Temari remembers catching an almost imperceptible smile he gives her when he was done, and patted her head.
"He told me, after developing my Red Secret Technique... that it was impressive. It was stupid, I admired him and respected him, idolized him even. He was an example to follow as a Puppet shinobi. It was stupid that I-.. I wanted to hear him say he was proud of me." The middle child confessed, whispered his words, one of his vulnerabilities. "But he was such an asshole, he made us look up to him as father figure but we always felt like we weren't allowed to call him that."
"Shukaku was always loud in my head but Sasori- After defeating me, Shukaku was... cautious of him. He'd grumble alot in my head. But he quiets down when I'm near... Sasori made me feel like... everyone was safe because he was there to stop me. That's why I always asked you to go with me and sleep in their room."
"I think we interrupted them a whole lot." Temari snorted.
The three siblings burst a laugh. They remember Sasori opening the door, breathless and Hatsue-kaa-san disheveled, her pajamas looking suspiciously crumpled. Their laughter faded after a few minutes and they sat there for awhile, wondering about their parents. They didn't doubt that their parents loved them but... they wondered if their parents knew they reciprocated.
"I used to think Sasori tolerated us, you know?" Temari waved the bottle, her head was resting on the table. "That us being his kids was only an extension of his love to Hatsue-kaa-san."
"Not gonna lie but I think that's how it was for him in the beginning. Just a bunch of brats he tolerated for mom." Kankuro says, shaking his head a little. "He was a damn good father, though."
"Except... he just didn't make it known that we were allowed to call him that." Gaara stares blankly into his cup.
"Everyone said we could, if we wanted. But I wanted him to say it."
"We were stubborn. And so was he."
"Yet we follow after them. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
"Because we love them more."
"More than our birthparents."
"That's why..."
"Our parents.." Temari hiccuped, cheeks red.
"They're..." Kankuro was swaying his head, as if he was hearing a lullaby.
" All..." Gaara rubbed his eyes, trying to keep the drowsiness at bay.
"..jerks!" The siblings all said simultaneously, clinking bottles and glasses.

I'd prefer to play a more inexperienced OC at this time. However!

This goes for both enthusiastic AND unenthusiastic reactions. Be warned that my bottoms sound like obscene whores when they get into it! I'm expecting lots of dirty talk from both sides!
Just be aware I don't have many pre-made OCs, and I usually make a new one for each rp. You can literally help me mold my OC to be your type if you want. & just cause my OC is submissive in bed, doesn't mean they'll be a Gary Stu!
