My friend @dragonsmooch once asked me to tell them a little (or a lot) about one of my oldest OCs, so I decided to look through my F/O lists and see which OC who is also an F/O is the one I've had for the longest time (since.. this is my selfship blog, haha). The answer turned out to be, on a technicality, Iris!

I say on a technicality because Iris is an OC I originally created for Splatoon, as part of a big group of OCs I made during one very very bored week at school where I had to try and do something that looked like revising but wasn't. Which is why she counts as an old OC. However, I more recently ported her into Dragon Quest IX, which is the version of her that I see as a platonic F/O (as well as her FFXIV version, too!). This is what she looks like in my game!

In terms of personality, Iris is energetic and fun-loving, always eager to take up a challenge and easy to make friends with. She is very creative (especially when it comes to art like drawing), and she can have a certain flair for the dramatic, which helps her out a lot with her vocation.

Speaking of vocation, Iris is a luminary! These superstars are charming performers with considerable magical aptitude, able to fight with fans, whips, or boomerangs. Iris uses the first of these options in tandem with magic, which encompasses both healing spells and wind-element damaging spells. She has a lot of different spells and abilities at her disposal, allowing her to play almost any role within the team as needed! I'd say a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none, but.. that's actually a boss in this game, haha

In terms of how she fits into the world, Iris appears in the story of my selfship with Pavo, which is essentially "my version of the events of DQIX". She used to be a performer in the Quester's Rest inn, until spotting what looked like a burst of light falling from the sky one late night, and deciding to run out and if she could find where it would land. This falling star turned out to be my self-insert Ardea, whose wings had been lost in the fall and whose halo broke upon hitting the ground just outside the eastern entrance to the Hexagon - inadvertently showering both Iris and Avalon (an adventurer who had had the same idea) with Celestrian power, allowing them both to perceive things like spirits and the Starflight Express. After bringing Ardea back to the Quester’s Rest, and subsequently hearing her story from both her and newly-visible Pavo, Iris decides to accompany the Celestrians on their quest to both recover Ardea’s lost angelic traits and reunite with Aquila, Pavo’s brother.

I hope that this is alright!!

"On this, the day of hearts.."

In the midst of an unfamiliar circumstance, Aria composes a letter to Clio in her mind's eye. (518 words)

Happy Valentine's Day, friends ^-^

(Anyone is welcome to comment on and reblog my work if desired, as long as my DNI is respected! The letter itself is under the readmore.)

"To you, my lucky clover..

..Oh, how I wish I had that luck at the moment. Or rather, no. It's not that I wish for the luck of a clover - it's that I wish for you. ..You were just the luckiest encounter I've had for a very long time.

..How do you manage it? How can it be possible for someone so kind and caring as yourself, someone with such a strong light that shines brightly even in our party of sparkling gemstones - to love something like me? I, who wield the selfsame darkness we wielders of Keyblades are meant to despise.. I, who witnessed the fall of a world I may never have a chance to know the name of.. ..I, who walk with stolen steps, and have held hearts on my blade's tip. There will be no regret for what I've done - not from myself, in any case - but the matters still, permanently, stand.

..That's not the way I wanted this to go. Not at all, in fact.

What I wanted to say was.. that you deserve all that the worlds could have to offer. I mean it. You are wonderful. A wielder of remarkable strength, both of heart and of blade - yet that strength is always directed to the sake of a noble and just cause. There is none of the arrogant pride that seeps into those whose light is strongest - those whose light is most blinding, most bleaching, most scorching to their senses of decency. Your light always bears such softness, such willingness to listen and to consider the truth of a circumstance. You are passionate. You are beautiful. Your every act and movement are filled up with a presence that I don't think I will ever understand. Is it love? Is that what drives you? Love for the world and all who dwell in it, in a way that so, so many cannot muster? ..Is it that love that lets you love me? No, I- am I right to say it's more than that? It certainly is to my sight.

Regardless, you're just.. so, so remarkable. I meant it, when I said you were my luckiest encounter - for, as much as I have come to settle in the company of the Sapphires, it's only with the support of you and them that I have found myself so settled. I am not someone who trusts easily. I am not someone who finds herself able to trust easily. Especially with the company I keep, and am part of. And yet, for all of the reasons I have to remain on my guard.. That guard doesn't need to be raised around you anymore. You wield my fear, just like everyone else, but when that power is held within your hands, I'm not afraid of it. I don't have to be afraid of it, when it's you.

And then, above all of that again - for everything, thank you.

If you will be my light, then I will cast your strongest shadow.

You are my guiding key, and lucky clover."

Sibling f/o oc concepts because I'm an only child who always longed for an older sibling, particularly a brother but I also thought of who I'd like as a sister too

Left: Cormac, "Mac," he/him, biromantic bisexual, looks similar to Tim LaFlour (Matthew Lillard in Senseless), works at a video rental place, loves to hangout with me, tells me not to idolize him but is constantly taking me under his wing, idk he's just generally very cool :0]

Right: Maggie, she/they, lesbian, plays hockey and baseball, diy master and is especially good at home improvement, the best at comforting me, probably works at like a gardening store or something

Common activities I would participate in with both of them are convenience store runs, movie nights, and driving around late at night

"*..Ari?!*" "*Clio!*"

"I've really missed you while I've been here, shadow.."

In a complete tone reversal compared to the piece I made earlier this evening, please have this, which is the first proper selfship render I have made for my selfship with Clio! It's from a scene I got to act out within the Fatebreakers RP that I've been doing with some friends, where Aria managed to reunite with Clio after she became a Dandelion. Aria had been worried about whether Clio would actually be there upon her own arrival, so she was very relieved to have found her again, and Clio was surprised but also very relieved to see her again too!! ^-^

Comments on and reblogs of what I make are always okay and appreciated, but are by no means required!~

#a call from the void #creations from the void #made using MMD #this post is okay to reblog!#love: crown of clovers (clio)#selfship: of flowers unchained (clio/aria)#self‑insert: darkness' champion (aria)#I know this is specifically lifted from fatebreakers itself but technically it can also happen in normal events in KHUX as well #since that has the same thing of clio going with the dandelions and aria promising to find a way to make it to her #(the difference being that in KHUX events aria isn't allowed to join the dandelions due to harbouring such strong darkness)#(so she witnesses the war and becomes injured so she has to flee into the realm of darkness to recover)#(and it's only later on during a union cross that goes through a dark corridor that clio and aria manage to reunite by chance)#so you could call it a case of ''different causes with similar outcomes'' I suppose ^-^#this is a bit more of a simple render but hopefully it is still okay. it made me flustered to write out because I was playing both roles #SELFSHIP #SELFSHIPPING #HOW DID I FORGET THOSE TAGS I USUALLY PUT THEM ON FIRST #OC F/OS

I didn't realize your OC F/Os came from dreams! That's so cool! You must have a really good memory!

Funny how I can remember most of my dreams, fandom lore/fun facts, and original lore/fun facts for each of my stories/ocs, and even some random animal facts off the top of my head, but other things are banished from my mind two seconds after it's left my line of sight lol

Though my remembering these dreams also has to do with how quickly I can record them right after waking up.

Not all of my ocs are from dreams, though. Sometimes I make up characters for stories and they just sort of... attach to me. (Kaine and Agrippa, for instance. Initially made as side characters and even an antagonist, but suddenly ended up becoming beloveds.)

🎀 and 🌻for the OC F/O Ask game

Thank you so much for the ask!

🎀 - What kind of relationship do you and your F/O have? What's your overall dynamic within their universe?

Ianto and I are still kind of finding our feet. Ever since I created him, we've sort of had a... love-hate relationship, because I speak with utmost affection when I say that this man is a mess. He's done a lot of harm in his canon, and wasn't the easiest person to deal with as his writer, but something happened to me in March that led to me finding a lot of comfort in him, aaaand I think we've kind of been catching feelings since? We're not putting a label on it so far. For the general dynamic... we're pretty similar, personality-wise, which can lead to butting heads, but at this point, it's more playful bickering than anyone, and also makes me low-key melt because I know Ianto prefers to sweet-talk people unless he really likes them/feels like they're close. Romantic tension off the charts and lots of casual physical affection. Gods, he's so... *hides my face in my hands*

Ava and I are the sort of couple that finish each others' sentences. Despite being a few years older than me, it almost feels like your classic teenage romance - she's fun, she's just fun, excitable and adventurous in a way that I'm not, but I let her drag me along. I think we're probably menaces to the people around us, low-key enabling each others' chaos, with constant banter and PDA (she's a cat - if my lap is free, it's her seat now).

I would describe my relationship with Knows-The-Skies as queerplatonic, I think? We're definitely more than friends, but I wouldn't say we're romantic (though I wouldn't mind that, tbh...). Been very close for a very long time, and have managed to become very emotionally attuned to each other. We've got the same fascination with history and the natural world, so a lot of our bonding is through fact-sharing, showing off pretty rocks or interesting bugs we found, or exploring some new area together... and also, she's super touch starved and kind of uses me as a cure for that. It's very soft, patient and kind of understated. I really like it <3

🌻 - If you're in a romantic relationship, what type of partner is your F/O?

I mean... I have to be frank, Ianto is kind of a bad one? Just judging by how he treats his canon love interest. It's the main reason we haven't gotten together earlier. He rarely falls in love, but when he does, it's hard and fast, and it's hard for him to fall out of it again. However, he struggles to maintain them. No matter how much he may like a person, the thrill will eventually wear off, and he'll become distant, turning his focus more towards himself and his other flings (he doesn't do closed relationships). It's not something he likes about himself. However, when you do have him... oh, it's divine. It's like something out of a romance novel. He's almost worshipful towards his partners - red wine, chocolates and cherries, ballroom dancing in ancient palaces or slow dancing in dark kitchens, walks in gardens and rose bouquets, long mornings in bed where he insists that he doesn't care if he's late to work, the kingdom can crumble for all he cares, this is far more important. If I have to describe him as a partner in one word, it's passionate.

Ava tries so hard to be this hot, punk, queer heartbreaker whose attitude towards relationships is so very casual, and it's true that she does like flings and FWB relationships... but she's also got a tendency to fall so hard she can't sleep because she's too busy thinking about them and it's honestly kinda frustrating. If I have to describe her as a partner in one word, it's adventurous. She will climb a window at 5AM to wake her darling up and take them on an urban-ex date. She'll write their names in grafitti or push them to go swimming in the nearby lake after two drinks, just so she can see them in swimwear, all while teasing and complimenting them in the same breath, her love evident every time she looks at them. It can be a bit intense, but it can also be the time of your life.

Knows-The-Skies has some... issues with intimacy. First as a wanted woman, then as a vampire, always as a wanderer, she's very, very aware of how proximity to her could lead to other people getting into danger. Even though she's pretty social by nature, she likes to stay clear of others to try to keep them safe. She needs someone who's even more stubborn than she is, someone she can really feel like she can trust and rely on. If you manage to get her to that point, though? She's ride or die, she'll never let you go. Slowburn that will most likely end in a marriage. If I have to describe her as a partner in one word, it's devoted.

10. "This is my favorite chapter." What's one of your favorite moments spent with your OC F/O? Tell us about it- what happened? What made it so special?

For whichever f/o(s) you'd like to answer for ✨💚!!

Clover @tex-treasures

Finnegan: I made him while thinking of a series about the Loch Ness Monster, like the shape of water, the Loch Ness Monster is locked up, but falls in love with his captor, (which is not cool, but she managed to help him escape) eventually Finnegan was born, but his mother had died from a mysterious illness. He may or may not have killed his mothers killer, while searching for his father.

Matthew J.: He is a combination between Jeff the Killer and The Riddler from Batman (2022). He's my personal little scrumgly honestly. I actually dreamt him up one night, and I was the detective, I was trying to get him to confess, but apparently I didn't have any evidence. So, I have to let him go. But, like, I know he did it. I end up getting fired and so I just end up obsessing over him, because I know he's a serial killer. So, that's kinda the cat and mouse thing going on. I believe his parents weren't good to him, as most of my ocs have, but there was something particularly brutal about his.

Penelope: She used to be a self-insert of mine, until I started to grow out and flesh out her character. She's psychic and her ability comes from her parents weird cult. She's also from Texas, so that's the closest place to hell. She made all her friends die in a car crash just for thinking about it. And she has a twin brother, who's as strong as a paperclip.

13. "Let's match today." How would you describe your OC F/O's fashion taste? Send pictures if you'd like!

Dkfjfhfh alright.

Finnegan Ness: my Scottish fish man. He adores skirts and sweaters. He has a flare for anything green. He's not too flashy, but sometimes he feels himself.

Matthew J. King: He's your typical horror movie slasher, with the twist that he hasn't grown past his middle school era. He wears baggy clothes with suspicious red stains on them. Weird, wonder how they got there.

Penelope Gossamer: My sweet paranoid gf with trauma. Yeah, she may also be possessed by the spirit of a clown, but that doesn't mean she can't slay. She's got a whole wardrobe is awesome sweaters.

Ohhh!!! I love making character playlists (there's a hit of self ship), but I just recently made one for ratthew.

10. "This is my favorite chapter." What's one of your favorite moments spent with your OC F/O? Tell us about it- what happened? What made it so special?

Finnegan: I dream about him often. I feel bad for what he had to go through, (humans didn't like him/called him an abomination). He's quite sensitive and he often cries. His interior is a soft sweet man who hates pollution and he just wants to be able to breath. I'd imagine if i could transfer him over to where I am, he would live in my bathtub, but I don't think that'd be easy for him.

Matthew J. King: Other than the interrogation, I haven't had a compelling scene with him. I just know my character in that dream has been stalking him for a long time.

Penelope: I've had some very nice dates with her. She definitely gets me and understands who I am on a personal level. When her weird clown friend isn't there, she's a lot less paranoid.

Do I give Avalon (my TTGC OC) an Urianger-esque style of speaking (so, like, lots of "thou"s and "thee"s and "art"s and "wouldst"s and so on and so forth)

I'm not sure whether they've featured in anything that I've made and posted here, but I do still have a DQIX WIP (since, they appear there as part of my party in my version of events where I selfship with Pavo!) where they don't have that style of speaking, but it may not fit as well there because Pavo and Ardea already speak quite formally anyway. So this could just be a TTGC quirk.

#they're meant to be themed around the archetype of a knight in shining armour.. they're named after something from arthurian legend..#these are already both quite archaic things.. do I dare try to go all the way #this is relevant because they appear in my current piece of writing and I'd quite like to get the writing posted on thursday #so any opinions are welcome #heart of the void #friend: shattered light (avalon)#OC F/Os #platonic F/Os #I was not going to add a poll and then I remembered that polls exist so #have a poll #while I sleep #because it's gone two o'clock in the morning *again*#and *yes* i'm aware I didn't give myself an option but! I figured out how to view poll results without voting on them! so I do not need one

chaining cherry blossom to clover (Clio/Aria)

Clio being chosen for the Dandelions means she gets to avoid the approaching Keyblade War, and Aria vows to find a way to join her in the new world despite not also being chosen. Despite the road ahead not being clear, a very special gift is given, one which would come to be the key to the two reuniting later down the line. (1974 words)

This is my first piece of selfship writing for my new blog, and also my first piece of selfship writing for my (current) newest romantic selfship with my OC, Clio! I hope that anyone who wants to read it enjoys doing so, as I definitely enjoyed writing it ^-^

Tag list: @sunlight-ships | @artificervaldi | @hirael | @thatslikesometaldude (to be tagged in what I make, please see this post!)

Comments on and reblogs of my work are always okay, and appreciated, but are by no means required!

(Document transcript under the readmore:)

When the Dandelions began to be chosen, the Sapphires were one of the first parties whose members were approached, to the surprise of approximately none of them.

After all, although the group’s existence and purpose did not become widely known for some time, it seemed logical in retrospect that the party which once collected more Lux than any other in the Anguis Union (save for one) would harbour many Keyblade wielders with powerful light; wielders who were therefore wanted, wielders who were valued, wielders whose identities - their bonds to their parties and their Unions - would all be cast aside as they would be made Dandelions, made into Dandelions.

As war’s shadow loomed ever closer over Daybreak Town, tensions slowly but surely rising up to boiling point, the Sapphires found themselves being able to count more than one of their wielders in the ranks of the Dandelions - the ranks of the few who had been chosen from all others to survive the world’s end, leaving the rest of the people they had known to simply fall and be lost in the senseless combat that fate would have them march towards.

“So they want you as well, do they?”

Aria’s casual question that she already knew the answer to reignited the spark in her girlfriend’s eyes as the two sat together by the sunset-lit fountain one evening.

“Yes!” came Clio’s reply, in a light voice that shone with much of her typical positive temperament. “I really can’t say I saw it coming, but it feels like such an honour, you know?”

“I can only imagine it must.”, Aria smiled, though her own tone was comparatively much more subdued. “After all, so few individuals have been selected for such an important role.”

“Mmm! Yeah, that’s.. a really good point..” Clio’s excitement had softened and dissolved somewhat as she picked up on her girlfriend’s quietness. It was easy for her to tell when something was up with Aria, based on subtle details like the way her catlike ears were slightly downcast, or how her wings were subconsciously tilted to face the floor; it had gotten to the point where she couldn’t help but feel slightly surprised when others said that Aria was almost impossible to read, and tended to blame it on things like her cold way of speaking, or the mask that she wore across the lower half of her face.

“..What’s wrong, Ari?”

“I.. it’s nothing.” she tried to insist.

At this, Clio shifted closer towards her on the fountain’s edge, reaching forwards to place a comforting hand on Aria’s shoulder. “Are you sure? I don’t wanna pry if it’s not something you want to talk about, but if something’s up, then it isn’t good to keep it locked up in your heart or anything.“

Careful not to shake Clio’s hand away in the process, Aria shifted, drawing her legs up to lean them on the edge of the fountain. Her wings were now being held outwards slightly to better improve her balance, ensuring she would not go toppling backwards into the fountain.

“It’s.. more that I don’t know how to word it properly without sounding mean..?” she tried to explain. She was looking away at this point, and her left hand was absentmindedly toying with the ribbon of her hairpin, while her right hand held her legs.

“Huh? How so?” Clio asked her. “..What, d’you think I shouldn’t have been picked or something?”

“What? No, it isn’t that at all!” she clarified quickly, finally turning to look at Clio’s now-worried expression. Her own eyes carried surprise; she would never doubt Clio’s worth like that.

“It’s of no surprise to us that you were selected, because you possess such strong light. But you’re not arrogant with it like so many others of similar strength seem to end up being - in fact, I would say you’re the only person with such bright light that I feel so comfortable being around like this.” she admitted. “So, in many ways, you’re perfect for this.”

“Aww, that’s really kind of you to say!” she replied, worry fading away with relative ease and becoming relief. “But, uh.. What is it, then? If I can ask that?”

“Of course you can ask that.” Aria stated plainly. “It’s just.. If you go with the Dandelions, I won’t be permitted to come with you.”

“Why not? I’m.. sure they’d let me bring you with me!” Clio tried to smile further and be reassuring, but the way her voice faltered slightly indicated she was not entirely confident in her statement.

“..Maybe if what they were after were simply strong Keyblade wielders. But they aren’t.” she insisted, turning her head to look down at the ground again. “All they want is light; they’re gathering those whose hearts have strong light inside of them, and leaving everyone else to the chaos that we all know is coming. So, the last thing they would want within their precious ranks is something like me.”

“Oh.. I guess I didn’t think of it like that.” Clio shuffled closer once again, trying to give Aria as much comfort as she could after hearing the “something” and the spite in her tone. “But, if a war really is on its way like they said it was, then surely they’d just want to rescue as many people as they could from it?”

“That would be the sensible way of going about things, but..” She let out a sigh. “Keyblade wielders who have darkness in their hearts are seen by some as weaker, or less trustworthy. Even moreso if those wielders actively try to make use of their natural affinity for darkness, if they happen to have it. It’s.. arguably not entirely misguided, considering the corruptive effect that darkness can have on people’s hearts when too much is present, but that doesn’t mean that everyone who wields the darkness is evil.” Her hand was playing with her hairpin again.

Now it was Clio’s turn to sigh, feeling dejected. “I sure wish more people could actually see that instead of insisting otherwise..”

There was a fairly long pause as the older wielder trailed off, and the pair of girlfriends could only hear the steadily-flowing water from the fountain they were sat on the edge of.

“I mean.. I haven’t technically joined the Dandelions yet.” Clio then stated, taking a moment to lift up the crown of clovers she wore around her head to stop it slipping. “There’s meant to be a meeting pretty soon, but.. I could always just stay here with you instead! At the end of the day, I- I really don’t want to lose you..”

“No.” came Aria’s response, bluntly but not coldly. “You should go with them.”

“Huh? But.. what about you?” she replied. “And everyone else, too - I can’t just leave everyone to suffer while I go with the others!”

“Just because they don’t want me there doesn’t mean I won’t go there, clover.” she stated, very matter-of-factly. “If you’re with them, then I’ll just find a way to make it to you. And it’ll be easier to do that if you go with them, because not only will they then be easier to find, but I can be more certain of your safety while I hunt for them.”

“You really think you can follow them..?” she wondered.

“Yes.”

“..How?” she then asked. “I mean, I definitely reckon you could do it, but.. You sound surprisingly sure about it. A lot more than I would be, in your shoes.”

“..It’s because of this.”

For the third time that evening, Aria’s hand found her hairpin, but this time it was much more deliberate - she reached up above where the ribbon ends hung and carefully brought her fingers around the cherry blossom flower in its centre, running her thumb across its large, soft petals.

“..Your hairpin?” Clio asked.

“Yes.” she repeated. “If you’ll have it, then.. Please take this with you when you go with the rest of the Dandelions. Take it as a promise, and a sign - if it’s with you, then the rest of me can follow. And I will follow, somehow, even if we don’t quite know the method yet. I will find a way to be with you, no matter what it takes. Whether I’m a Dandelion or not.”

A brief moment passed as Clio’s eyes became glittery with tears.

“Aww, you’re going to make me blush, Ari! That’s so sweet of you to say, I.. I don’t think I know what to say! Of course I’ll take it, if you’re okay with giving it to me!”

She smiled. “I wouldn’t have offered if I wasn’t.”

Using her right hand as well to ensure none of her hair got unnecessarily caught, Aria carefully moved her hands into position, her dark red nails that Clio had painted for her working their way to where the cherry blossom grew from. She then took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tugged as hard as she could bring herself to pull. Despite bracing for the action, she still let out an involuntary hiss as she did this, wincing and shutting her eyes much more tightly as the pale pink flower came sailing away from her head with the force.

Keeping her right hand pressed against the left side of her head to try and lessen the intensity of that awfully sharp pain she now felt, she tried desperately to stop tears forming in her eyes, before all of a sudden becoming aware that a strong hand was pressing into her back, gently but firmly, just below her wings.

“I’ve got you.” came Clio’s voice from her right-hand side, before her other hand reached up to clear the tears from Aria’s eyes. “You nearly sent yourself right into the water with how hard you pulled on that.”

“It.. was needed..” she replied, somewhat vaguely. Her head was now tilted to be facing Clio’s more directly, allowing her to see her girlfriend’s supportive if slightly concerned expression. She could feel both her arm and her hand on her back now, giving her confidence that she would not fall backwards even if she wasn’t holding herself upright out of tension.

It was then that Aria realised she had one more thing left to do, so she moved her left hand towards Clio’s right. Resting on her open palm was the flower that once rested in the centre of the hairpin she had never been seen without, the blossom’s five pink petals and two green leaves looking delicate and tender in the sunset’s light. As carefully as if she were handling a baby bird, Clio reached out and tentatively lifted up the flower, making sure not to accidentally damage the petals as she took a closer look before then holding it close to her chest. It seemed to attach itself directly to her jacket once she had decided where it would go.

“..Thank you.” was all Aria could say to fill the silence, her voice just as soft as the flower petals felt to touch. The sharpness of the pain was thankfully becoming somewhat duller and less intrusive with time, and Clio’s gesture of bringing the flower to her heart was something she had treasured immensely.

“Don’t worry, shadow. I’ll keep this safe for you.” Clio declared, now placing her hand on her chest next to the flower. “You’ve just got to make sure you stay safe as well.”

“I will. I trust you, clover.” she replied, shifting to more properly reciprocate her girlfriend’s support with a hug. “No matter what the future holds.. No matter how long it takes.. I will reach you, and we’ll both make it past whatever is coming, in our own ways.”

As the last of the sunlight faded, the pair stayed and cherished this moment in each other’s arms.
