Starting this blog officially with character intros :D
This blog will mainly be for me to navigate my art of them a bit better, also I doubt this will spread outside my circle of friends so I’m really just posting for myself here
I’ll probably repost some older art later but I’ll have to figure out what aged alright and what aged horribly

hi i found your blog from autumn and you seem cool, would you mind telling me about your ocs? sorry if i’m weird or awkward i just love hearing about other people’s ocs lmao
EEEEEEEEEE ID LOVE TO!!!!!!!
I've got a lot though, so...
🧱⚠️WALL OF TEXT WARNING!!!⚠️🧱
I'll just be focusing on my four most popular projects.
I'll start with what I consider to be my main OC universe. My primary project, if you will. The story focuses on two adventurers taking a bunch of side quests to bide time while waiting fir a curse to run out on the demon kings castle so they cab try and become legends. I'll list some characters here:
Clyde
(still working on an updated design)
One of the main protagonists. Son of two famous adventurers, armed with a talking sword and crippling anxiety! He's a good boi tho, he likes gardening
Ni
Tumblr media
The other starting main protagonist. A clumsy waterfolk mage and Clyde's best friend! She's autistic and will talk to you about magic for hours. she's a slight stick in the mud until she's called out for it, then she's more lenient in an attempt to not appear lame.
Percy and The Dungeon Gang
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Protagonist three who comes in a bit later. A mischievous prankster who swiped control of a dungeon from under a powerful monster's nose. Has control of only three monsters, as all the rest left.
Mitski
Tumblr media
Follower favorite and protagonist four! Playful yet guarded halfcat with an undeservingly rough origin. She's a vibrant loud goofball, but she's got surprisingly high walls around herself. She also tends to obsess over any trusted ones she has. Acts like a cat to a comedic extent.
Cassandra
Tumblr media
Retired adventurer catfolk and technically the one who raised Mitski. The source of Mitski's goofball nature and sharp tongue. Divorced and addicted to alcohol.
B-Wares Trio
Tumblr media
Left to right, Dave, Chip, and Suzy (short for Suzannaath). Essentially a second set of protagonists. They're travelling shopkeepers who look for magical/cursed artifacts and then sell them. Dave is tired and slightly apathetic yet smart, Chip is an optimistic ray of sunshine, and Suzy is the lovable imp who is adorably disconcerting.
Mimi
Tumblr media
A lonely candy mage who couldn't seem to make any friends, so... she baked some! She can do no wrong.
Shiori
Tumblr media
The kooky, eccentric goddess of time who has a habit of staying in clock towers. She'll make you tea, solve your midlife crisis with a metaphor, and then make a joke from two centuries ago. Definitely a bit coocoo.
Lady Fen and Yori
Tumblr media
Teasing prankster fox demi god who runs a magic museum and her 24/7 stressed assistant. Fen intentionally trolls Yori relentlessly, yet he powers through it with olympic agility and eyes glued on his watch.
Nicket
Tumblr media
Loveable piney boy failure girlkisser member of the Nyanton guard with a skill in stealth. Was a gift to me by my friend Elsie 💗💕❤️
NEXT PROJECT!!!!
this one's fairly recent, yet has quickly become somehow my most popular project. Originating as a weeby tmnt parody, it follows four sisters from feudal japan who are resurrected in the modern day by four guardian animal spirits in order to defend Kyoto from the bloodthirsty shogun warlord Nyx, her maō benefactor Kouzai, and their army of shadow ninjas and hybrids.
Nekoha
Tumblr media
The eldest sister, trained in swordfighting. She typically has a no-nonsense attitude and an unchanging face, but she can occasionally be swayed into having fun. Sucker for puns.
Koinu
Tumblr media
The second youngest sister, but also physically the strongest due to her exceptional skill with her hammer. An unshakable, loud ball of energy that will not stay down (pertains to both bedtime and fights). Usually optimistic but has unexpected moments of pessimism.
Kokoko
Tumblr media
The second eldest sister, skilled with daggers. Also the fastest. More relaxed and carefree than the others, also the funniest. Smarter than she lets on, enjoys getting on Nekoha's nerves. Partners in crime with Koinu at times.
Nezumi
Tumblr media
The youngest sister, skilled with the yari. Definitely has a temper, hides any sort of positive emotion behind a snappy shield. Can sometimes be coaxed out of her spiky shell. Despises most cheeses. Call her a rat if you wish to perish.
Nyx and Kouzai
Tumblr media
The cold, cruel, and bloodthirsty shogun conquerer of Kurai and the maō who lent her demonic powers. Alive again in modern Kyoto, Nyx picks up her ambitions where they left off: iron fisted rule over all of Japan. Using Kouzai's army and a new technique involving soul replacement to create animal hybrid warriors, the only thing halting her conquest are four pesky animal eared warriors.
Juno
(no art at the moment)
Father of the four girls and the one responsible for Nyx's downward spiral. Previously a cruel Shogun as well, he conditioned his daughter Retsu to be just like him, only for her to turn on him, kill his family, and conquer Japan while he fled to the mountains. After spending years training with an ancient spirit warrior, Juno and Nyx killed each other in a duel. Now alive again in the modern day, Juno has the chance to make up for his sins. Both as a leader but more importantly: as a father.
Scuts and Vamp
(no art at the moment)
Siblings who were forcibly combined with the souls of those of a tarantula and mosquito respectively before losing their memory and being entered into Nyx's army. not too skilled in traditional Japanese combat, but nyx was impressed by their street fighting abilities and hybrid quirks. Scuts prefers to fight physically, while Vamp uses guns and her teeth. They're probably the most important ones out of Nyx's hybrids, they get their own arc, redemption, and happy ending.
Bondai
(no art at the moment)
Bondai was the head of a notorious biker gang that harassed Kyoto for years. Nyx established her first base on their territory, so Bondai and his goons attempted to show her who's boss. Nyx killed them all. However, Nyx had the faintest respect for his guts and strength, so she commanded an oni to move into Bondai and made him one of hers. Is the one responsible for Koinu's injury on her ref, he whacked her with a steel beam.
Sadako
(no art at the moment)
A notorious criminal who willingly gave herself up to Nyx in hopes of gaining more power. Was accepted and given the soul of a hawk. One of the finest in Nyx's army, due to her high speed, sharp attacks, and unbreakable focus. Despises Nekoha personally. Looks incredibly intimidating perched on a ledge in the dark.
Tadamichi
(no art at the moment)
A boy Koinu met at the mall. After a skirmish results in Tadamichi discovering her true identity (and dog ears), he immediately falls for her. He watches a lot of bad shonen anime afterwards in an attempt to train himself to be a vigilante to impress her, and with the help of Juno he eventually becomes a decently skilled fighter. Despite his constant fawning over Koinu, it's entirely one sided as she is oblivious.
NEXT PROJECT!!!
here's where things get messy. EVANGELINE. starring an angel, who after her sisters death at the hands of demons, willingly threw away her innocence and purity to go on a killing spree in hell. Afterwards she was appointed the holy executioner by the highest goddess, and now lives a life combatting demons who dare try to breach paradise's walls. Another side of the story is her struggle to return to society with all the pure, innocent angels who fear her.
Evangeline
Tumblr media
Violent, brutal, and ruthlessly efficient. The sole predator of the infernal realm. The holy executioner. Despite her intimidating presence amongst demons, she's rough, neurotic, and bitter in day to day life. Definitely troubled, but Seph is trying his best to help.
Seph
Tumblr media
A kind, patient archangel and Evangeline's higher up and friend. After the incident, he's taken it up on himself to try and rehabilitate her to the best he can, despite not fully understanding the weight of her actions.
Engrath
(no art at the moment)
The cruel, intelligent, and envious king of hell. Despises the highest goddess for leaving his kind in the abyss, and as such wishes to destroy paradise. With his six generals, he has planned a war against the angels. His entire army, vs one angel. Evangeline.
LAST PROJECT!
This one's about the power of friendship! I feel the topic is handled terribly in media. "We're friends, so we can beat you!" I hate that, honestly. A friendship based plotline can be made so much creatively, and that's why this project exists. A boy from the void, not supposed to exist, attempts to befriend as many people as possible while on the run from people who want him dead.
Friend and Ava
Tumblr media
Friend, albeit mute, is a kind yet touch starved sweetheart who spent the majority of his life alone in the void, watching the world go by without him. Ava is his first friend, a loud energetic bird that was bullied in school and is already attached to Friend. Together, they're on the run from the royal guard on a mission to not die and make as many friends as possible.
this project is a BIG wip, as these are the only two characters written out so far lmao
THANK YOU FOR ASKING ME ABOUT MY OCS I HOPE YOU ENJOY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jhorix, though reckless has proven himself to be a lithe and fairly skilled builder, aswell as fighter when it comes to monsters - but can be seen as a troublemaker in the town. Always maintains a cheerful, teasing trickster personality
I’m so sorry if I get his preferences wrong
The Men>
🪨Unsuur🪨
Honestly, the best guy to help reign Jhorix in if needed. His collected and blunt manner may help balance the builder without realizing. Plus, Unsuur says the most out of pocket shit I’ve ever heard that I think if Jhorix was gonna pull something, he would forget what it was because he was too distracted by the most random thing Unsuur just said. 1st of opposites attract.
The Ladies>
🐿️Mi-An🐿️
Second of opposites attract. Mi-An would probably fall after he falls. She’s more reserved and composed compared to him I’d imagine but it’s not a bad thing. They also balance one another out. Although, she may get a bit nervous at times if he starts to try indulging his trickster side and may result in a half-hearted scolding or two, but it may just end up seeming endearing with the cute way she does it to him.
🐮Elsie🐮
Literally the embodiment of “Prepare for trouble/ and make it double.” Chaotic dynamic duo. Nothing is a bad idea. There will be fires probably. The CC have their hands full while these two are off running with frenzied giggling escaping them because they’re running off pure adrenaline. It started off as a high with pulling shit with a friend that took a similar interest until Elsie would be the one to unexpectedly kiss him on impulse while they’re hiding from Justice. From then on, it’s like a tamed version of Bonnie and Clyde.

e For the OC alphabet soup :)
I haven't got a current OC with the (first) name F or L, sorry!
E - Obvious choice for me was Elsie! Elsie is an interesting character for me because who she is has changed quite a lot. (I even changed her name from Vera, and I almost never change character names.) Elsie owns and runs the pub that becomes a key part of the setting, and employs her daughter, Rhona, there also. She's the older sister to Clyde - their mother moved them down south to open a pub just after the Second World War - which their father didn't survive. The whole family unit was remarkably close knit, I'm sure, and then Clyde manages to get into a Russell Group university and is gone for years, coming back years later married to a significantly rich woman and wanting no part in the family business. Elsie can't ever hate a blood relative, but by God she resents him. Elsie's devoted to her mother and the business, and, eventually, her daughter. (Her marriage ended up disastrously, and no one dares talk about it.)

Running From H.E.L.L by JC Rowe Buy Here
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 🚓🛩️💰👊🏻🚨 Thelma and Louise but younger and gayer. Bonnie and Clyde but lesbians. These are just two examples of how to describe this book. Running from H.E.L.L picks up from the last page of We Are H.E.L.L, allowing us to see what happens with Elsie and Lu. The book covers a wide range of emotions from both girls, especially with dealing with the aftermath of book one. There are lessons learned, and lots of growing within the girls, and it's nice to see in a book like this. JC Rowe has poured her heart and soul into this book once again, and it shows in the characters' thoughts and emotions. Can't wait for book three.

Had a DnD oneshot last night featuring (from left to right): Lagon, the automaton pirate rogue who is also a doctor (?); Heleen Watersong, the changeling drakewarden ranger (and her drake, Bean); Fiver Watersong, the harengon scholar wizard and Heleen's brother; and Elsie, the goblin hermit druid who was a toad most of the night.
It was a close one, but Heleen did ultimately pull through! Unlike Clyde, another automaton friend who was found in pieces right before the boss fight. 🥲

Ch. 3: On the Run
Tumblr media
Chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Warnings: surgical procedures, mentions of blood
Elsie had to get to the hospital fast. Steve knew she needed medical help, and he needed to get the thumb drive. Thankfully, Elsie had friends in the ER, and they promised to not reveal the couple was ever there. They tended to her wounds quickly and gave her an IV since she was dehydrated and exhausted.
“She should be fine in a few hours,” the ER doctor told Steve once she was all bandaged up. “She’s very lucky to have only second-degree burns on her fingers and no broken bones from that fall. However, she did need twelve stitches on her arm, but no trace of glass was in her.”
“I’m just happy she’s alive,” Steve says as he slips his hoodie on. “If S.H.I.E.L.D. comes looking, we were never here.”
Giving his sleeping girlfriend one last kiss on her forehead, he heads to the floor where the vending machine was to retrieve the thumb drive. However, to his horror, the bubblegum space was completely empty. A popping sound is heard behind him, and he sees Natasha’s reflection in the glass, her chewing away on the bubblegum. When he turns around to see her standing there, he knows she took it and immediately drags her into an empty room.
“Where is it?!” he growls, pushing her against a wall.
“Safe,” she replies calmly.
“Do better.”
“Where did you get it?” Her brows furrowed.
“Why would I tell you?”
A beat. “Fury gave it to you. Why?”
“What’s on it?”
“I don’t know.”
Steve was getting impatient. “Stop lying.”
“I’m not,” Natasha insists. “I only act like I know everything, Rogers.”
“I bet you knew Fury hired the pirates, didn’t you?”
She looks at him shocked. “Well, makes sense. The ship was dirty, Fury needed a way in, so do you.”
He grips her harder. “I’m not gonna ask you again.”
Knowing he wasn’t gonna give up, Natasha decides to tell him what she knows. “I know who killed Fury,” she finally says.
Steve is silent. Maybe he would finally get somewhere with what she had to say.
“Most of the intelligence community doesn’t believe he exists,” she continues. “The ones that do call him the Winter Soldier. He’s credited with over two dozen assassinations in the last fifty years.”
“So, he’s a ghost story,” Steve says, not sure if he believed her.
“Five years ago, I was escorting a nuclear engineer out of Iran. Somebody shot out my tires near Odessa. We lost control, went straight over a cliff. I pulled us out. But the Winter Soldier was there. I was covering my engineer, so he shot him” -she lifts up her shirt to show him her scar- “straight through me. Soviet slug. No rifling. Bye-bye, bikinis.”
“Yeah, I bet you look terrible in them now,” Steve retorts.
She just stares at him for a moment before continuing. “Going after him is a dead end. I know, I’ve tried.” She finally hands him the thumb drive she had hidden in her pocket. “Like you said, he’s a ghost story.”
He takes the device. “Well, let’s find out what the ghost wants.”
Steve then heads back to Elsie’s room to check on her. Still napping, but her phone was lighting up non stop with missed calls and texts. Stark was trying to get in touch with her. How the phone didn’t get crushed or smashed after what happened, he didn’t know.
“I’ll handle this,” Natasha says, taking the phone and answering the many missed calls while Steve stays by Elsie’s side.
“Stark,” she answers once she’s outside of the room.
“Romanoff?” Stark replies. “Where’s my niece? And why are she and Rogers wanted fugitives like they’re Bonnie and Clyde?”
“To answer your first question, she’s in the hospital, but she’ll be fine. Your second question is a little more complicated to answer.” She looks back at her teammate. The man she saw now was not the guy who angrily interrogated her five minutes ago. This man was gently holding his girlfriend’s hand while she slept, brushing her brown locks out of her face, and basically acting as her guardian angel looking at her with love and worry.
“What do you mean complicated?” Tony pressed.
Natasha took a deep breath. “Did Elsie ever tell you she had a boyfriend?”
There was a long pause before Tony spoke again. “She never said it was Steve Rogers,” he groans. “Okay, why is she in the hospital, and how long are they keeping her?”
“About three hours. Long story short, she and Rogers were escaping arrest, and she got some cuts and bruises. They’re mainly letting her sleep and making sure she’s hydrated.”
“Don’t let either of them leave until I’m there,” he demands. “I’m going there now.”
“Okay.” She hangs up before Tony could say anything else.
“Stark’s on his way here,” she announces as she comes back into the room, placing the phone on the side table.
“I’m guessing he’s not too happy,” Steve replies, not taking his eyes off of Elsie.
“More or less. I think he’s mostly concerned with her being in the hospital, but I told him she’s going to be fine.” She sits at the foot of the bed, careful not to disturb Elsie. “Did Stark not know you and Elsie were together?”
Steve shakes his head.
“And you two have been dating for how long?”
“About a year.”
Natasha’s eyes grew wide. “And neither of you thought to at least tell someone?”
“We wanted to,” Steve snapped. “But life got in the way, and we didn’t know how to tell without freaking everyone out.”
“What do you mean by ‘freak out?’ Because in all honesty, I think you two are the cutest couple. And I’m not saying that because we’re friends.”
He sighs. “I just don’t want to be kicked off the team.”
Natasha laughs. “Rogers, no one's gonna kick you out of the Avengers for dating Elsie. You’re literally the leader.”
“Stark could try.”
“Dude, you’re not in Romeo and Juliet.”
“No,” Elsie chimes in with a yawn, “he’s just dramatic.”
Looking over at Elsie, Steve smiles softly. “You’re supposed to be sleeping,” he points out, kissing her hand.
“Then, you two should have been whispering.”
Natasha chuckles before standing. “How are you feeling, Agent Walker?”
“Okay for the most part,” Elsie shrugs. “But I think ‘Agent’ has been thrown out of the window. No pun intended.”
“Sure it wasn’t,” Natasha shakes her head, “but you’re still an agent in my book.”
About an hour later Tony showed up, a look of both relief and annoyance on his goatee-clad face. He wasn’t in his usual t-shirt paired with an expensive suit and vans combo topped with sunglasses, but rather in pajama pants, tennis shoes, a shirt, and a coffee in his hand.
“Let me get this straight,” he pondered as he entered the ER bay she was in and stood by her bedside, “I’m having a nice breakfast with Pepper. Sunny side up eggs, pancakes, maple syrup, and don’t forget the orange slices and milk. And then I look up at the flat screen connected to S.H.I.E.L.D. to see my precious niece’s face next to Captain Rogers, all because the man is now a wanted fugitive and somehow Elsie is involved. She’s now in the hospital because you two escaped?”
“Pretty much,” Elsie nods. “Are you done?”
“Not quite,” he replies while giving his coffee a stir. “To top it all off, the man Elsie has been dating for a year now is also Captain Rogers.”
“Tony, I just have a few stitches on my arm and two burn marks on my fingers,” she defends. “I’m okay. And I told you that we needed to talk, so let’s talk since you’re here. Yes, I’ve been dating Steve for a year, and I’ve been living with him for about five months.”
“Why didn’t you just say ‘Hey, Tony. I’m dating Captain Rogers’?”
Elsie sighed. “We didn’t know how, and I didn’t want you to freak.”
“I wouldn’t have freaked,” Tony scoffed, taking a sip of his coffee. “Kept you apart? Possibly.”
“Same thing.”
Before he could shoot something back, Steve steps in. “Look, Stark, we were going to tell you, and we’re sorry you had to find out like this; but if we don’t finish this mission that we have-”
“Mission?” Tony’s brow raised.
Elsie didn’t want to put her uncle in danger, and while she wanted to tell him everything, she was keeping her promise to Fury.
“If we tell you,” Elsie gulped, taking her uncle’s hand, “one of two things can happen. Either a bounty is placed on your head like there is mine and Steve’s, or you rat us out to S.H.I.E.L.D. We can’t trust anyone.”
Tony thinks for a moment before nodding in understanding. “Can I still sign you out of here?” he asks. “Just leave your co-pay to me.”
After Elsie is released, Tony takes care of her hospital bill and promises to never tell anyone she, Steve, and Natasha were ever there. While he didn’t like the idea of his niece putting herself in danger, he had faith in her that she was going to do something great.
“Just promise me she doesn’t get hurt,” Tony requests before heading back home.
“I’ve got her,” Steve swears.
Natasha then makes a quick run to a nearby thrift store to get Elsie some new clothes and helps her tie and pin her hair up in a way that conceals her bright-red ends underneath a heather gray beanie. Steve is given some fake glasses and a baseball hat for a disguise, and Natasha wears a jacket with the hood up to keep a low profile. Once out of the hospital, Natasha discards the bloodied S.H.I.E.L.D. clothes in a nearby trash can outside the hospital. The three of them then head to the mall to find an electronics store where they would have access to a computer in order to subtly try to decode what’s on the thumb drive.
The mall was a good place to hide out for the time being, and being a regular Tuesday afternoon in April it was packed. Perfect place to hide if agents were there, but at the same time, someone could recognize them easily.
The whole being on the run thing was new to both Steve and Elsie, so they were thankful Natasha was there to be their guide.
“First rule of going on the run is don’t run, walk,” she instructs as they navigate through the mall.
“If I run in these shoes, they’re gonna fall off,” Steve complains, his feet practically sliding around in the first pair Natasha had grabbed for him.
They find an Apple store and beeline to the first available display laptop there. Natasha immediately logs into it while Steve and Elsie keep watch.
“The file has a Level Six homing program,” she informs them, “so as soon as we boot up, S.H.I.E.L.D. will know exactly where we are.”
“How much time will we have?” Steve asks.
“About nine minutes from” -she inserts the thumb drive- “now.”
Elsie sets her watch to time it. “Go quickly,” she tells her.
Natasha focused on the task at hand, searching through files until she found what she was looking for.
“Fury was right about that ship,” she realized. “Somebody’s trying to hide something.” Another file pops up. “This drive is protected by some sort of AI. It keeps rewriting itself to counter my commands.”
“Can you override it?” Elsie asks.
“The person who developed this is slightly smarter than me. Slightly.”
Elsie checks her watch. “Five minutes.”
“I'm gonna try running a tracer,” Natasha decides and begins to type away. “This is a program S.H.I.E.L.D. developed to track hostile malware, so if we can’t read the file, maybe we can find out where it came from.”
A satellite image of the U.S. East Coast pops up followed by a signal seemingly pinging from the Northern region.
“Can I help you guys with anything?” a male employee with long blond hair, a stocky build, and a beard approaches them in a friendly manner.
“Oh no,” Elsie quickly replies, shaking her head and giving him a smile. “My sister was helping my fiancé and I look for honeymoon destinations.” She holds Steve’s hand and looks at him adoringly.
“Right,” he follows along, kissing her temple. “We’re getting married.”
“Aren’t they cute?” Natasha adds with a soft smile before focusing back on the computer.
“Congratulations!” the man rejoiced. “Where are you guys thinking about going?”
Steve glances at the computer as a location lights up. “New Jersey,” he says, hoping the man didn’t figure them out. Elsie keeps an eye on the screen, trying to play off the story they just gave.
The employee gives Steve a look as if he knew something about him. Had they been caught by an undercover agent? Were they recognized?
“I have the exact same glasses,” the employee finally says, Elsie letting go of a breath she didn’t realize she had been holding.
“Wow, you two are practically twins,” Natasha sarcastically chimes in as she keeps her focus.
“Yeah, I wish.” The man chuckles before admiring Steve’s physique. “Specimen. If you guys need anything, I’ve been Aaron.”
“Thank you,” Elsie nods.
Natasha continued to find as much information as she could, but she was cutting close on time. S.H.I.E.L.D. would be arriving with the S.T.R.I.K.E. team at any moment, and they had to leave now. Elsie’s watch beeped, and she quickly shut it off.
“You said nine minutes,” Steve reminds her impatiently. “Come on.”
“Relax,” Natasha shushed him before finishing up. “Got it.”
A location popped up: Wheaton, New Jersey.
“You know it?” Elsie asks Steve as he looks at it with a sense of familiarity.
“I used to,” he confirms. “Let’s go.”
Once he removed to thumb drive, the trio exited the store, Elsie lacing her fingers with Steve’s as they briskly walked. Agents were now searching the mall and they had the S.T.R.I.K.E. team with them.
“Standard tac team,” Steve alerts the two women. “Two behind, two across, and two coming straight at us. If they make us, I’ll engage, you two hit the south escalator to the metro.”
“Shut up and put your arm around Elsie,” Natasha commands. “Laugh at something she said.”
Elsie quickly puts Steve’s arm around her shoulder, and he turns his head towards her to where their eyes meet. Steve laughs like he’s told, Elsie and Natasha following along as if they all cracked a joke as agents walked by them. Steve looks back and sees the agents walk away, but he still holds onto his girlfriend to keep up the act.
The nearest exit was down one floor, but when they took the escalator, Rumlow was coming up the opposite one to search the floor above.
“You two, kiss,” Natasha commanded as she pulled a fake phone out.
“Excuse me?” Elsie was taken aback. She loved giving Steve kisses, but was now the time?
“Public displays of affection makes people very uncomfortable.”
“Yes, they do,” Steve agrees and turns Elsie to him.
He embraces her and presses a kiss to her lips while Natasha pretends to text someone and keeps her head down just as Rumlow ascends by them. Once they had passed him, he let go of her.
“Still uncomfortable?” Natasha asks as they reach the first floor.
“Not exactly the word I would use,” Steve replies, smiling a little at Elsie.

On September 8th 1912, Alexander MacKendrick, the US born Scottish film director, screenwriter and teacher was born.
I’ve said it before, just because you weren’t actually born in Scotland it doesn’t make you any less Scottish than others. Many things can attribute to you being Scottish and Proud, people like Elsie Inglis or Eric Liddell, neither of whom were born, or indeed died here are both celebrated and championed as Scottish. In my opinion Alexander MacKendrick falls into the same category, his parents had emigrated to the US and after the death of his father his mother reluctantly gave up custody of the seven year old Alexander to his Grandfather, who took him back to Glasgow, where he grew up. attended Hillhead High School from 1919 to 1926 and then went on to spend three years at the Glasgow School of Art.
MacKendrick’s first work was in animation, and got work in London working on ads for the cinema, he wrote his first film with fellow Scot, playwright, and his cousin, Roger MacDougall, Midnight Menace was released in 1937, it was a minor hit, but it got them noticed, although the war years saw him shooting numerous short documentaries and propaganda films.
After the war he found work with the famous Ealing studios and in 1948 made his directing debut with a film that would endear him to Scots the world over, Whisky Galore.  Amongst the films that he wrote were The Maggie, about an American businessman in Scotland is conned into shipping a valuable load of cargo to a Scottish island on a Clyde Puffer, MacKendrick took inspiration for this story from Neil Munro’s stories about Para Handy and The Vital Spark, like Whisky Galore beforehand, Ealing studios filmed most of the film on location in Scotland, this time on Islay.
MacKendrick teamed up with his cousin, MacDougall and John Dighton for one of my favourite films of the post war, black & white era, The Man in the White Suit, which was also a big hit and one of the most popular films of its time.
Hollywood came calling and in 1957 he directed and co-wrote the screenplay for Sweet Smell of Success, a vehicle for the highly popular Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis. He was praised for his directing and the film is still popular nowadays, a film site I read often, Rotten Tomatoes, gives it a 98%, few films on the site get that high a rating.
After just three more films, he was offered an academic job as the Dean of the Film Department of the California Institute of the Arts, which he accepted and held from 1969, Alexander MacKendrick suffered from emphysema for many years and this stopped him returning home to Scotland, he died of pneumonia in 1993, aged 81.
Alexander Mackendrick may have been born and died in the USA, but I think he deserves his place as one of the many others not actually born here, who we would would use the term, Scottish & Proud.

Happy Gay Pride Weekend!
Around the turn of the 20th century, Clyde Fitch was the most popular playwright on Broadway.  At one point, he had an unheard of five shows running at the same time!  Fitch suffered from ill health for most of his life and was only 44 when he died in France in 1909; he rests in Woodlawn Cemetery’s Wintergreen plot.
Tumblr media
The never-married Fitch was known as a “dandy” in his day and going by his written correspondence it’s probable he had a brief affair with Oscar Wilde. He was also good (platonic) friends with Edith Wharton. His literary agent was lesbian Elisabeth Marbury who openly lived for decades with her partner Elsie DeWolfe. 
Elisabeth Marbury also rests in Woodlawn; I’ve blogged about her before: https://lost-in-woodlawn.tumblr.com/post/162243799522/happy-pride-weekend-elisabeth-bessy-marbury

The above poster for Fitch’s play “Girls” and the photo of the beautiful Woodlawn mausoleum Fitch’s mother had designed for him were found at his Wiki page where you can find more biographical info as well as links to other reference pages.
