What is your OC's most noticeable feature?

#for Jinana it's definitely the peacock hair lmao #for Jezi it's uh honestly. The Tits followed by the skunk stripe in her hair followed by her tattooed hands #for Arjun it's his white hair and pink eyes... unless it's Big Snake Time™ lol #Felix dyes his hair all kinds of colors and is heavily tattooed #I just like to make all my guys brown with weird hair it's fun #I'm retooling Yeshe for the Demon-Haunted World AU - in that world xe just kind of has a salt and pepper buzzcut bc xe shaves xir head #Xir most noticeable feature is probably xir air of grumpy jaded compassion #'I have been here since beginningless time and I will be here until the last being leaves Samsara so please stop eating paint ok'

Clad in transparent silks, rich velvet, and a mischievous grin, Jinana has no qualms about displaying hir magical power at Evander's special events.

But who is on the receiving end of this power? I think we all know lol

Wishlist Drive for Aid!

Alright so here's the lowdown, TCM is currently in a stage where it needs wishlists and I thought it might be more enticing AND productive to do a donation drive.

For all new wishlists starting today, March 1, I will donate 1$ to Doctors Without Borders.

The starting number is 650 wishlists, so if we get 50 new wishlists, that means I'm donating 50$, etc.

I have to put a limit on what I can match for obvious reasons. That limit will be 500$

This will go on until i hit my cap or May 20, whichever comes first.

I will be making 1 lump donation at the end of this rather than several small ones. I'll post receipts at that time.

Why Doctors Without Borders

There are lots of amazing charities and regular people running humanitarian aid to Palestine and specifically Gaza. I chose Doctors Without Borders because not only are they on the ground in Gaza, but also in other areas of the world that are getting less coverage- like Sudan. They are a reputable nonprofit and have a stalwart reputation for their willingness to help those affected by humanitarian crises. You can learn more about them and what they do here.

Wishlisting

Visit TCM's steam page and simply click on Wishlist. That's it. It helps the game get more visibility and in turn that will help its success during launch. Unfortunately, TCM isn't available in all countries due to its content, sorry! Reblogs much appreciated! Thank you all!

Fanfic words vs. Book pages

Okay, as someone who reads a lot of fanfiction, I always get frustrated not knowing how much I have actually read because how much is 100k words, really? So, I decided to check and convert the number of words we read in fanfic to the amount of pages that would be as a book.

I did a little research and there isn’t a specific number of words per page in a book because it varies on the size of the page and the font and size of the font used but from what I gathered, a page of a book goes between 250 to 400 words. 

For this, I decided to go with 350 words per page because it’s a high number, which meant that the numbers below are the minimum pages that they represent.

So, if you read a fic with:

25k words, that means you have read, at least, 71 pages of a book.

50k words, it means that you are 143 pages into a book.

100k words, is 286 pages which is already a decent sized full book.

150k words, is around 429 pages which is already a pretty big book.

300k words is the equivalent to 857 pages, this amount of pages are basically a Game of Thrones book. You know… the massive ones that if you throw at someone’s head it’s probably gonna do some damage.

As someone who rarely reads over 50 pages of a book in one go because I get a headache, it’s interesting to realize that I have read entire novels in one sitting.

#ToC as it stands is already novel-sized lmao #shame I won't be finishing it

I FEEL U BROTHER

Not a love that enables his worst qualities, but one that maybe, just maybe, makes him want to be better. Having been shown compassion, can a person like him come back from the things he's done? Knowing that no one owes him a damn thing, least of all forgiveness, and in midlife at that?

(Heron was originally supposed to do exactly that, coming upon a beaten and broken Lucio after the events of Jinana's route, creating a potential conflict with The Bromance and most of his other relationships as well... but the route and The Fandom™ just kinda killed vesuvian-disaster's interest in writing that oops)

[ And All that Could Have Been plays in the distance ]

Definitely write more smut tho, more smut is always good 🍆👍🏻

on my personal blog I keep reblogging stuff about redeeming villains n forcing them to get better n how trying to grow is better than dying about it

and then I realize if I was actually dedicated to helping Lucio be better I would have given him a mc of his own already

instead in one timelime he's borrowing nadia's and getting beaten with sticks otherwise

im sorry buddy

♥ Welcome to #ockiss24 ♥

The time has come again, fellow creators! Grab your tools of choice and prepare!

♥ #ockiss24 CALENDAR

from FEBRUARY 12th, 2024 to FEBRUARY 18th, 2024

♥ #ockiss24 MINI FAQ

What is OCkiss? It’s a week long event in which artists, writers and other creators produce content about OCs kissing.

Who can participate in OCkiss? Do you have an OC? Do you want to participate in OCkiss? Congrats, you’re in! Create something and upload it during the event with the tag #ockiss24

My OC doesn’t have a significant other, can I still participate? Of course! OCkiss is not restricted to romantic kisses - they can be friendly, they can be familiar, they can just be kissing their pet!

Can I use other people’s OCs? If they have stated that their OCs are up for grabs for this event, of course! If you’re not sure, please, please always ask the OC’s owner first.

I’m a bit lost and don’t know what to create! You can ask other people for prompts, make your own, or follow the official #ockiss24 prompt list (to be released soon!).

If you have more questions, please refer to the main FAQ!

—

Remember to tag your OCkiss creations with the #ockiss24 tag! I aim to reblog everybody who participates and I will set up a queue to that effect. Reblog culture has gone down on Tumblr, and I want to change that and promote creators to the best of my ability - it would be awesome if you joined me on this! If you don’t want your work to be reblogged here, please say so in the tags!

*I don’t own OCkiss in any shape or form, and everybody is free to launch their own OCkiss event whenever they want! I’m just aiming to have a more organized place for it, as I have been organizing this event for the last years on my artblog.

#hmmm I might temporarily resurrect for this lol
