#thank u sooo much for this i love rambling about oc stuff haha

[the-light-of-stars]

Yes you DO need to explain this! Btw is this a passion project or school related?

Oh it’s just a personal thing, born from a bunch of really bad puns and jokes with a friend lol

And ooh okay so.. those ‚umbreon aliens‘ from my story are called Nyx and like I said in the other reply they’re not really aliens but , well, dead people..

Basically it’s an urban fantasy story, right? So what happens is that sometimes people that died unnaturally/ before their time can turn into Nyx. The exact reason for this is still a bit fuzzy world building wise, but it’s a mix of their souls still being somehow tethered to their bodies despite dying .

in case of natural deaths because it’s the right time and the individual ‚accepted‘ that they died in this world the soul doesn’t stay with the body, but if the death is unnatural - for example because of an accident, a murder, some illness etc. it stays cause it’s not ready to move on yet. Those souls that haven’t moved on but are already ‚freed‘ from their vessel can then become Nyx, but not all of them do that. What happens to tethered souls that don’t become Nyx I haven’t figured out yet, tbh, but it’s an interesting question...

So how do they become Nyx? Basically in the story there’s not just what’s visible to humans. There’s also things and beings that can’t be perceived by people because humans don’t perceive in a way that would let them notice these things and beings. So as for now that means there’s also some kind of..beings or ..energies, that are ‚other‘ like this and that need to bond with a soul to be able to sustain themselves properly. In their Natural State they’re not strong enough to bond with souls that are still within a living body, and souls of people with natural deaths vanish to fast for bonding. So it’s the tethered souls they use as their hosts instead.

What happens then is that a soul like that , that gets affected by this, becomes a ‚host‘ - and depending on how strongly the soul was still tethered to life either the soul is more in control or the other, and it affects their abilities and how strongly they’re connected to the perceivable world. For example someone who still had a strong connection to life will find it easier to upkeep their human appearance, and won’t be affected as much by the things other Nyx get affected by (idk if youd want me to explain that here) . They also are less ‚draining‘ and have special abilities, for example they’re able to sort of shapeshift into other beings or are telepaths.

Nyx that had a very weak connection to life however are much more affected by the ‚other‘ and have to concentrate way more when trying to upkeep their appearance. They also are more strongly affected by their environment and need a lot more energy to sustain themselves and thus are more draining (because their souls can’t partially ‚regenerate‘ energy to sustain itself like more connected Nyx can). However cause they’re ‚other‘ to a higher percentage they have more clearly supernatural abilities - like uhh I guess it can be described as shadow bending? So their abilities are generally stronger but also more volatile towards. Anyone, really, including themselves. And require a lot of control and training to handle. However once they accomplished that they can turn the whole thing around and become sort of healers for others :)

(Disclaimer though: idk if I’ll keep it as ‚host for an ‚other‘ being‘ kinda thing or if it’s gonna be just more of something internal but idk.)

The Nyx appearance can vary. Because they’re a soul-ish phantom-ish kinda person/being without a ‚real‘ (aka perceivable as ‚material’ in human ways) body, they don’t weigh much and also can be like...passed through partially? Basically imagine it like with sand: if you’re gentle you can pass through it partially but if you use force (like. Punch it) or if your weight is distributed well enough you don’t. They’re also cold to the touch :)

And look wise, because they’re basically some kind of phantoms without bodies their default look is the ‚umbreon like alien‘ design , but all of them can shapeshift to a degree that makes them appear like they did when they were alive - with a few special features though: Nyx even in glamour-form will have black markings on their bodies where the glowing markings on their nyx form are and will also have unnaturally colored eyes (red, orange or yellow). And while their glamour-appearance is based on what they looked like when they were alive it’s not an exact copy of their living body but a manifestation of what they saw/see themselves as. Which can have quirky consequences like someone’s face looking more harsh and pointy when they get angry/ don’t like who they were as a person versus getting more soft and rounded when they are happy etc.

Nyx are , like our protagonists will have to learn, basically people and thus don’t have a set morality, cause they still retain all their memories and personality from when they were alive. They’re individuals with their own motives and aspirations etc. and also I have a bunch of fun facts about them if you wanna hear those :3

Lastly though the world building is still a work in progress so I’ve gotta work on this, too, to avoid falling into harmful tropes and stuff like that, so.. yeah . But thanks for being interested in this ❤️❤️

#stuff #anon ask #thank u sooo much for this i love rambling about oc stuff haha #also #long post #cause i cant be bothered to open tumblr desktop and all that just to out a read more here #my stories

[peachywander]

All asks

Holy shit, this will be so much fun B-) *cracks knuckles*

Ask me: FANDOM EDITION

A - Your current OTP

Uhhh pff,,, skeleton dance I think?? I mean sure, skelley dance is always my current OTP, ngl. They're basically made for eachother, hell, even craig himself wore tshirts and stuff with wander hugging hater ifthisisn'tcannonthenidkwhatitis

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

To be honest,, wander x beza. I used to dislike every wander x girl ship bcs I see him as gae and nothing else. But I have a friend who does lots of art with them so I think it grew on me more and more with time?? Now I think they would look cute together, even if i'm still not super big on it.

C - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will

Wnder x domi. No comment, I despise it with all my heart 😂😂 Like I said earlier, I don't like most of wander x girl ships, and domi really hates wander. Sooo this ship simply doesn't make sense to me,, lmfao.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t

I think Twi x Flash from mlp. Yeah, I thought twi was cute when crushing on him in the 1st EG movie but they don't seem to have that chemistry I was hoping for. Plus I haven't seen any recent episodes of mlp in a long time, though I heard ppl say that he was mean to her once, if I remember well? Anyways, doesn't work so much for me.

E - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

Besides memes/ shitposts, not really. Check @gunxball if you want to see posts of mine back when I was into gumball 2 yrs ago (golly i miss those times)

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

Probably su (2016-2019) or kid vs kat (2011-2014)

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

Why yes, of course I do. cosmo x wanda from fop. They were so adorbs together esp in the first 2 seasons. Don't like how they got so flanderized with time, their dynamic was absolutely destroyed, and my day was ruined when I found out.

H - Do you prefer characters from real action series or anime series

I don't watch either lolol

But I think anime.

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

Dislike the fandom, not the show itself? Probably hzbin hotel. The show has a pretty neat concept and animation and it had such a big impact on my artstyle when I first watched it. But the fandom? Absolute hell. (pun intended)

From shipping wars, to pestering vivz, anything is possible. Glad I haven't actually interacted with that part of the fandom.

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

Not a show but among us. Back in september/october last year, my tl was FILLED with among us, up and down. Made me a lil tired of it but once I tried playing that game, I couldn't stop. Also the owlhouse, fell in love with the artstyle and story.

K - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

I don't have a current fandom. Not feeling in the mood + school + inactivity bcs of school. So I'll say abt my latest fandom, which was animaney. Well, people were really nice, and they seemed to enjoy the reboot. Nothing more to say tbh,,

L - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for

Ummm I don't really like giving rqs to my fave artists, i don't wanna bother them haha

M - Your favorite fanart or fanartist

I don't know aaaa, prolly toonipi but she also draws ocs, not just fanart.

N - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor

Anything cute or sappy with skelleydance (NO nsfw)

O - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of

Lasers and feelings. Skellydance again. It matches sO well-

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

I used to have a skatepark AU ft. su chars but never put anything over here. I still have the sketches from 9th grade lmao.

Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why

To be completely honest, Amydot. Up until s3 they really gave me possible ship vibes. They interacted a lot, and peri discovered her metal powers thanks to amy. But after s3 they hardly ever interacted anymore (besides that one ep from s5 with the kindergarden). I was so dissapointed, but hey lapdot isn't so bad anyway, right?

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

Back in 2014 I would have said chred from angry birds, definitely. Not many really shipped them, and when I saw some fanart of them on dA everyone would say "ew, gae". Well, 2014 everyone. I was always like "so?? i like that ship, what's the problem??"

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon

Uhmm, i headcanon darwin from tawog that he likes to yodel lol

T - If you mostly have homoships, do you have any heteroships

I think my ships are 50-50, but here are some examples:

Larsdie

Stevnnie

Blckeye

Fluttrcord

Beeckard

Starc0

Tanyamao

Foxodile

Pennball

Carwin

U - If you mostly have heteroships, do you have any homoships

Same as T. Another examples:

Skelleydance

Wnderingeye

Sylava

Lumty

Rupphre

Pearlmthyst

Badgrmao

Bubbline

Flutterdsh

Patbob

V - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping

Lol no. Tbh, i'm not super big on shipping either. I only slighty like/dislike any ship i listed earlier (with the exception of skelleydance, i'm too in love with that ship)

W - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

wakko warner (animaney)

wander (woy)

fluttershy (mlp)

amethyst (su)

bubbles (ppg)

X - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

skelleydance (woy)

lumty (toh)

stevnnie (su)

Y - A fandom you’re in but have no ships from

kid cosmic (or maybe I do ship papa g w/ chuck), animaney, okko, gravity flls

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go

That one fan made episode from su called the smothering, it was so freaking amazing. It helped a lot in relieveing the pain of that big hiatus from 2017 (which was the biggest one, i literally turned into a skeleton waiting for new eps). Loved peri's needy personality, as well as lappy's playful one. It was so well written, like it could be perfectly fit as a role reversal episode in the main show.

#the reason i typed the ships like that is to not appear in the tags #ask
