...ocs? 👀

I am living in oc world all day every day and tbh if i could Art it would be over for you all because you would be forced to witness them nonstop.

Two of the fandom ocs that are consuming my whole life right now:

Still Unnamed Children of the Red King OC- literally just me isekai-ed into cotrk world from a post a while back but it was so fun i have been obsessed with the idea. They kill the person who summoned them within minutes because he’s such a bitch. The summoning gives them powers to both heal and harm by physical touch, and they have to wear gloves a lot while learning to control it which is sensory hell. Neither good guys or bad guys trust them because they think that dichotomy is bullshit and constantly disregard it to uphold their own ethics. They help Julia have her gay awakening and are in relationships with Paton and Harold. They held Manfred hostage once and have now become the best parent he’s ever had and he hates it. (Shout out to @the-walls-have-many-ears for all our wonderful convos about cotrk that have been so inspiring!!)

Liltanor/Hrávahín (lotr)- I have never spent so much time on the lore for a fandom oc, but he has taken almost two years at this point just to get satisfied with a name. I’ve wrapped them in and around the whole canon like a vine. Her mother is a Vala and her father is an elf (Vanyar), so she’s like Luthien in some ways but also I have made Luthien weirder for consistency. Both of them have shapeshifting abilities that also include ability to change sex characteristics, Luthien however chooses to always be female but Liltanor changes constantly and is gendered fluidly in universe languages (he spends lots of time as various animals too). He leaves Aman well before the Noldor (and also not on good terms) and by the time of LotR has been in Middle Earth longer than any other elf besides Cirdan. (Im skipping like. SO much there is too much lore) They are second cousins once removed with Galadriel (this wasn’t even on purpose) and more distantly related to Elrond & family. He is married to Haldir, which makes them both very happy, and many other people Unhappy because Liltanor hardcore rejects monogamy which is a fundamental aspect of elven culture (this is part of why they left Aman originally). She was lovers with Saruman in the past and would still be if he wasn’t going through his dark lord phase (Saruman is v resentful that Liltanor was so opposed to marriage back in Valinor otherwise he thinks he could have had a chance at marrying them instead and keeping them there. He is wrong). During the events of LotR Liltanor is a member of the Fellowship and forms a very close relationship with Boromir. This has consequences as they end up saving him, but in such a way that he (like them) becomes something Else and he now has to deal with immortality. As a consolation tho they also get married (yay two husbands!)

I also have a few original projects that have full casts of ocs but I’m still deciding if I might make a separate writeblr for those or what. I am also thinking about them all day every day and also making more of them like my life depends on it. My favorite hobby is to think of ways to make their relationships Worse <3

#thank you for letting me rant about my ocs!!#you are the sweetest and best ever!!!#if i dont let info out about them occasionally i will explode and die maybe #also like. that liltanor section seems long but i promise that was me holding back #i didnt even touch on their history with celegorm or how she’s besties with aragorn or who his parents actually are #the lore is fucking DEEP #thinking oc thoughts #ecdysing #cotrk oc #lotr oc #silm oc #liltanor also seems like unhinged as a lotr oc (they are) but i promise there is a canon precedent for almost everything about them #which i dont usually care that much but again for some reason i went insane about her so i had to make sure

Barley uses Malt as a nickname (because it would be very funny to me) and now I get to think about which characters would call them what.

Rambling about lots of characters under the cut

Barley doesn’t interact with the younger kids very often but does meet them all at various points; the kids call them Malt, except Olivia who thinks it’s funny that “Barley” and “Charlie” are so similar and that she has a new way to cause confusion.

Billy is the young kid they interact with most and he is most confused about how to refer to them because he thinks he should call them by some sort of title like he does other adults, but Barley 1) doesn’t like titles and 2) is nonbinary so he doesn’t know what title to use, so it takes a little bit of chatting for them to get Billy okay with just “Barley”.

Julia uses Barley because she just genuinely thinks it’s a pretty name.

Asa always calls them Barley Malt because he thinks it’s funny, it’s meant to be making fun of Malt’s name but they think his attempts are cute and childish.

Manfred initially pointedly tries to avoid using their name whenever possible and just Wasserbar if he can’t avoid it. When things improve he uses Malt.

Ezekiel doesn’t get the chance to learn their name at all, they kill him before the conversation gets to that point.

Bartholomew calls them Wasserbar (questionable if he actually knows/remembers their first name, they have a very confrontational relationship)

Most of the other adults, like Katya and Treasure and Lyell, just use Malt, except the Yewbeam sisters who call them Wasserbar or “Harold’s/that little thing” (they are deeply perplexed by and thus hate Barley, but Barley’s power and attitude make them too formidable to actually attack so instead the sisters just get really bitchy about it)

I think Paton would be torn because, canonically, he dislikes using nicknames (but apparently Charlie is fine??), but Barley is so similar to Charlie that I think he would eventually give up and use Malt to avoid any confusion. If it’s just the two of them, he will go back to using Barley though. Paton knows that Malt made up their name wholesale when they got summoned, but doesn’t know their old name(s) or feel a reason to ask.

Harold is the only other character besides Paton who know’s Malt picked their name just when they got here, but he actually does know their previous names because it was using his resources that Malt verified there wasn’t an alternate version of themself in this world. Harold is initially very judgy about Barley ditching a normal name/changing names a bunch, but it leads to lots of conversations on identity and autonomy and transitions. He would never actually tell other people these names, later because he comes to respect and care about Barley but initially just because he knows they could hurt/kill him. Barley considers letting him use one of these names as a private name just between them, but ultimately they know it would hurt too much to hear the names they were called in a world they can’t go back to. Harold usually calls them Barley when they’re around other people and Malt privately.
