#I have to change my OCs story now lol

[jayreyen]

I wasn't planning on posting art here because this is a "writing" blog but here's my oc x Alex

#Jay draws #The land of stories #The land of stories fanart #Tlos #Tlos fanart #The land of stories oc #Tlos oc #Alex Bailey #“writing” blog but I haven't written anything lmao #If anyone has Alex writing prompts PLEASE give it to me #I think I'll just try to write an OC x Alex story #But I don't know what to do with the timeline and Rook #I'm thinking of placing it in the 3rd book but what do I do with Rook.. #I haven't thought much about my OC except that she's purple #And possible a witch.. I'm not sure </3 #I created my OC before I was done rereading the 2nd book and when I reread the 3rd book I realised my OC was basically Rook but a girl so #I have to change my OCs story now lol #I was thinking that someone unaware she's smart/the fairy godmother's granddaughter would be nice #And maybe they meet when Alex is granting wishes #Then I read the 3rd book and that's basically Rook 😭 #Also Alex what in the world is strawberry blond #Is this even strawberry blond?? Alex your hair color is sooo so confusing

Erik!! I keep seeing your adorable centaur OCs and I always wanted to ask what's the story behind them??

Plushi!! Sorry for the mega-late reply… 🥺I was so happy to get this ask but I didn't know how to explain my silly ocs…I will try now-more under the cut.

Dael Braam (dwarf) is a cooped up farmhand looking to see the world, but being immune-compromised from birth it took a lot of persuasion to convince her parents to let them go. They relent under the condition that she finds a capable and strong person to travel with to keep her safe… Just so happens that a strong and capable centaur knight is visiting in town…

Rembrandt (horsey) was created from a dark fusion spell by an amateur mage, who had intentions to construct a powerful warrior to do his bidding.

However, the spell cast did not result in a powerful and fully-armored warrior…. but instead a frail baby knight centaur, with only its top half made of living armor. The mage, not wanting to raise any kind of child, promptly abandons his creation. He can always try to make another one after all.

Into adulthood, Rembrandt still carries a lot of pent-up abandonment and self-esteem issues. You wouldn't know that from the proud facade he puts on though, lying about being a royal knight yet helping all those he comes across with a smile, but never staying long. When the opportunity of having a long-term travel companion (and perhaps a friend…?) arises from Dael requiring a bodyguard, his craving for companionship and affirmation outweighs his worries about her seeing eldritch elements of himself.

Dirk (beefy dragon thing) is the second (and more "successful") attempt from the same mage to create a powerful monster. Think Rembrandt's "big evil" brother. Except he's quite a bit younger. Dirk emerged fully-developed except for his wings-which remain as little nubs. Despite his brawn and warrior-appearance, Dirk was mostly a glorified errand boy, using his impressive strength to terrorize the nearby towns and their land-collecting resources for the mage.

Dael and Rembrandt meet Dirk after hearing word of a giant dragon-knight ravaging villages (and their livestock yum yum).

(I also like the idea of the mage sending Dirk to capture Rembrandt + Dael when he recognizes is his first attempt is not only alive and strong, but also quite proficient in battle.)

One way or another Dirk ends up roaming with the two. At first, Dirk is over-confident, rude, and stubborn... Overall a huge pain for them to travel with. After being shown kindness for the first time and being subject to more than a few humbling situations, Dirk allows a protective, loyal and softer side of him to emerge.

Lots of found family shenanigans and adventures occur-and yeah! This was rambly but thank you for reading about my guys! 💖

#i got rlly happy when i saw your ask but i had no idea how to explain my characters so i sat on your ask till now whah im sorryy #i have a whole 40 pg doc on these guys yet i struggled to write all of this lol thank you for your patience u are too kind plushi #I hope to see u at tfconLA next month if u are going! #also that little doodle u did of rembrandt i love and it hangs over my desk so i can see it always :]] #ALL THESE are subject to change...writing character motivations interactions and story is hard wow how do some of u do it?? #my ocs #plushi #kind words #artists on tumblr #original character #all three of them come from isolated beginnings i realize

I really love Ethe! #I'd like to talk about Rae and L's story but I honestly have no idea how to explain it 😭 #I'm pretty bad at plotting stories it's just very very very vague ideas + silly conversations and emotional scenes #Basically they're forced to work together but Rae hates L but a lot of stuff happens so now they're friends #I'm planning to change their story tho because this morning I had a bunch of new ideas for them #The original story was super super angsty but I don't want angst anymore I just want fluff now </3 #Plus Rae's story and lore became a mess when I tried taking it out of the DN universe (I failed lol) #Its story really reallyyy needs an update

[invinciblerodent]

apparently act 3 is when I need to push through the desire to start playing a new character, because now that I'm there with Iona too, I'm struck by an intense urge to play this pretty asshole

particularly struck by the thought of how fucked his whole situation must be under that armor

like, being born to druids but with no magic of his own, growing up, he never really needed to learn practical skills like dressing a wound, or anything of the sort (what's the point if your mom can just wave vaguely in your direction and whatever issue you have is gone). But when he left and found himself on his own.... given how stubborn he is, he probably learned all his battle- and survival skills by pure trial and error.

I imagine he has a number of weird and wonky, poorly stitched and awkwardly healed old scars, all over his body. Boken many bones, gotten into weird accidents, and has gotten many a bad infection before, too- really, it's a borderline miracle that he still has not only all his limbs, but all his fingers and toes too.

No wonder that he has 16 con to his (currently) 17 dex and his 8 int; without being preternaturally healthy and hardy, he'd easily be a decade dead. nah, this boy is just rawdogging life, smashing his head against walls and hoping that they'll break before his skull does.

i've played him for only like an hour, and I simultaneously hate and love this asshole cockroach of a man so much already

#oc: petyr wildbrook #squirrel plays bg3 #I feel like every story he tells about himself is going to be met with at least one “..... okay how are you still alive” #like.... “one time I drank from a river and was shitting myself to death for a solid tenday- got better though” #“oh yeah this is just like that time I fell like 50-ish feet off a cliff- yeah I was fine just broke my leg” #“no yeah i just walked home and set it there; it was fine” #“hey wanna see the gnarly scar from when i first tried to sew myself up? yeah I got roaring drunk first; for anesthesia purposes” #“yeah that's why it's so wonky” #“well that and the horrible infection I got from it but after like a tenday of running a 40°C fever it healed fine” #“yeah i just had to reopen it to drain the puss and it was okay” #“oh it was NOT fun lol but hey it did work so who's the idiot” #Shadowheart will have to cradle his face in her hands and tell him very intently that his mantra #of “if it looks stupid but works it's not stupid” #doesn't exactly work that way when it comes to things like. healing. #plot twist it's not the change in her divine allegiances that turned her hair white #she just realized that this man is now officially her boyfriend and went instantly grey

[syrupyyyart]

Slowly more and more glad I waited so long to start working on Motley, because it is much much much easier to draw these characters consistently now that I've been doing it for so long lol. Simple artstyle + silly designs = I can bust out 10 panels in, like, 10 minutes, easy peasy.

I was worried about making long chapters time-wise but maybe it'll actually be fine lol

#procastination is bad but at least i can draw better now so idk #not art #i said weekly art posts but maybe no art this week #i have something TO post but its kinda ugly and i dont want to post it 😌 maybe ill try to make an oc post instead #really the longest part is gonna be background art. but even then its not like theres a big complicated background in every shot lol #also its quickly changed from 'episodic mixed with serialized story' to just 'fully serialized' lol. ooooooough i hope people like it #but honestly at this point you couldnt stop me from working on it even if no one reads it lol. this project is for ME!!!!!! #you can pry my characters from my cold dead hands

[abra-ka-dammit]

growing up is realizing the weak ending of your original-universe story from jr high was actually only the middle of a much grander, more satisfying tale

#goddamnit i finally figured it out #it had such a pathetic ending. nothing resolved. #it took getting to my 30s and all the experience that came with it to show me #much as i thought my 20s would be the end of my life and was wrong... i thought that story would just have a shitty ending #bc it seemed hopeless that i would ever tie together the pieces into a solid plot that could have a satisfying ending #but ive tied together the frayed ends of my mental health and Lived On #so too will i tie together His. #it doesnt have to end that way Makumi.... there's still time. so long as you yet live there can be justice served and closure gained #whether or not i kept that as ur name in the end. literally still on the fence abt it to this day #in late high school i came to terms my fake japanese OC names sounded kinda stupid and changed a lot of em #now as an older person i find them sorta endearing and wanna just bring them back lol #stupid shit

the fucking. guys. most transgender trio in the wasteland

#my art #it started with just jackal except he was a woman #and when i changed that he automatically became trans idc that's literally how it works #now that there's three of them they all get to have some gender fuckery #they're also antagonists in the story they're in lol #oc posting

[nikatyler]

Yes I’m getting emotional because I just realized that in a few days my Rose triplets are turning six 🥺

#nika rambles #i've had characters for longer but triplets are special #because there were no harsh changes in their character development #they're not entirely different from how they started #it all feels kinda natural #whereas some of my older story characters...there have been huge changes to them haha #and don't get me on the countless winx oc redesigns... #*don't get me started lol i forgot a whole word #my winx oc era made me believe i couldn't keep ocs for long #and now look at me go! six years #and then four years and a half with ross #these guys are never going away that's a fact

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

anyway here's my latest OC, Hayley, who is half Indian, half Australian biracial and is just trying very hard to plan her sister's wedding meanwhile a significant portion of their extended family simply Does Not Like either of them very much because they don't fit into the slots that the family had planned for them.

and here's the aforementioned sister, Kaira, who's a manager at a local restaurant and is getting ready to marry her long-time boyfriend Jacob and go on a worldwide honeymoon, as long as everything goes smoothly.

Hayley (25) works at a florist/event supply shop while studying and preparing for possibly going to law school and also dabbles in interior design as a hobby and/or fallback career (her rearranging things in the house drives her dad crazy lol), meanwhile Kaira (22) wants to work her way up to possibly taking over the restaurant when her boss retires. they also have a 20-year old brother who's attempting to take over the family business, if he and their mom can ever find the lockbox with all the important documents.

several of their relatives on both sides of the family disapprove of their career choices (or, in Hayley's case, lack thereof and indecisiveness) and while they don't actively try to harm the wedding celebration, as Jacob — who isn't used to their diverse and complicated family — points out, there seems to be quite a bit of tension as family members gather to celebrate Kaira and Jacob's marriage and Hayley and her parents attempt to keep everything from going totally to crap.

#may or may not ever write anything about them and their stories are very subject to change #but they popped into my head and like. i love stories where not a ton actually Happens #it's just planning a wedding and family politics. the only romance subplot is kaira and jacob's (and the parents') #basically hayley just wants to plan a wedding and study for law school entrance exams #and kaira and jacob just want to get married. jacob has a pretty chill family he's not used to all this shdjdnsksnfj #Lu rambles #Lu writes #i guess?? this story doesn't have a title or anything as of yet lol #my ocs #hayley #kaira #jacob #i haven't named the brother yet sorry this is all just Vibes right now #untitled universe #hey anoni and krakens my oc girlies 👀

how it started vs. how it's going

the same character, 6 years later. from aria ggad to aria felisong. i am so emotional about her and her story and. augh.

#oc: aria felisong #she started out as a character for the ggad roleplay on the wings of fire forum #then i transferred her to my ocverse #and it’s just. i made her more than 6 YEARS AGO. i was 12 when i made her. #and now i’m an adult and i’ve kept coming back to her over the years and she’s grown. #we both have. #there’s so much of me in her and her story reflects how i’ve changed over the years. #my art #i should color that sketch lol

i thought id finalized the designs for my motley girls, and then i made a huge change in the story and now i have to change every single characters outfit . i will never know peace

#incredibly uninteresting and niche post i know #but its MY blog so I get to decide what i post 😤 #this is an oc art blog now. youre just gonna have to make your peace with that #my girls are gonna look kinda different next time i post about them is the point of this post lol #some of them will look relatively similar as before. but others need essentially entire outfit overhauls #cries #on the bright side. the story change was 100% for the better and i also have a full chapter of their story sketched out #so i just have to adjust the wips i have now and itll be right back on track #me? saying im gonna make something and then ACTUALLY making it? its more likely than you think #actually no its not ever very likely lol. but im actually doing it this time and im gonna finish it and its gonna be CONSUMABLE! wack #not art
