#I do fortunately still have my first ever OC. A merman named Danny

[dbphantom]

I should post my old H2O art from when I was like 6

#Most of it got tossed by my mom. I had a notepad where I went FERAL and I remember it to this day #Because I drew the scene of Charlotte losing her tail in s2 and basically wrote baby's first fanfic on the top page (back of the prev page) #I miss that notepad I really wish I still had it #I do fortunately still have my first ever OC. A merman named Danny #Which. The story behind the name Daniel is SO funny. #Apparently if I was amab my parents were going to name me Daniel. I did not know this until I was like 21. Or whatever. #When I was 6 my first ever OC was literally a self insert but as a dude named Daniel. #And then when I came out as trans and then picked my second name I chose Daniel because I've always liked it #And then my mom hits me with that. Not prompted!! Btw! #Just randomly told me one day and my brain stopped working. Like. The stars fucking Aligned. Kid me just KNEW I guess #Cruddy rambles #<- just to clarify did not come out to my family. Came out to my mom after she told me about the name but she doesn't like it so... She #Pretends everything's fine and I didn't actually tell her #So her telling me that fact was legit 100% unprompted she just brought it up one day
