hearts roy, roman's daughter, cousin of tom and shiv's son hibs, a tiny woman with adult braces, overplucked eyebrows, masochistic body piercings, her single father's veins, her lonely father's eyes, her rootless father's mouth - pictured IF she had survived past her infancy, which in this hypothetical universe she did not.
hearts, from shiv's perspective, in the "canon universe" of this fic with the mencken presidency having further destroyed america, in which hearts does not live:

no bc i'm still hung up on this post and how oc's are expected to deliver more background information than anyone else and i'm here to once again emphasize how crucial interaction and engagement is to their own development both for the character and the writer behind them.
canon characters have the luxury of appearing "more fleshed out" / "self-explanatory" simply because we've witnessed them interact with other characters on screen. oc's don't get to have that when they are first created.
oc's start from scratch. and they can only build themselves based on the way they relate to others. it's literally how humans work.
so, you want to know more about oc's? engage. how? lemme give you some tips based on practices i've applied myself (feel free to reblog and add more):
read their headcanons: most oc's will provide important info there
ask the writer about their headcanons: found a headcanon intriguing? ask for details (e.g. if they mention they have a special item in them at all times, ask what it looks like, what for, its significance). this helps motivate writers to uncover new information about their own character.
ask the character about their headcanons: let the muse explain themselves and see how they behave about something personal, for example.
read their stats: pets? scars? tattoos? anything visible that can be commented on? point it out to the muse and comment on it.
send memes/questions: your best chance is when you see them reblog them so you don't have to come up with anything yourself.
relate them to your muse: does your muse like rock music? ask the character or the writer if they like rock music too.
note: this list isn't exhaustive. it's simply a couple examples from first-hand experience. it also applies to all muses (canon or oc), but needless to say, this post is specifically about oc's, hence the focus on them.

It's super cold over where I live, so to cheer my spirits I decided to draw my Mexico oc with America and Canada having a wintery stroll to look at the lights on the trees. Mexico is exactly how I feel whenever I go outside in the snow lol

2022 Xmas card trades were mini shaker bottles!...because past!Me decided to randomly buy some. Can you see the common thread between all my craft projects XDD These were actually pretty quick to put together all things considering (which was great cos I started them really late lol).
Pro tip never use plastic bottles like I did because ugh they scratch so easily.
Made from: Mini plastic bottles, craft paper, pipecleaner, felt, beads, buttons, thread, matchsticks, random scrapbooking bits and bobs

Mexico : " Esto es tu culpa."
America : " I know , I know."
Canada : " You speak spanish ?"
America : " No.I just know the phrase " this is all your fault " in every language they speak. "
