#hyperfixating on my ocs is very cool. i do love it. i love caring so unbearably much about some guys i made

[kyouka-supremacy]

Hi!! Gin for the ask game?

Yay Gin!!!

Favorite thing about them: Oh man there's not much to talk about in canon outside of the oc I made from them. But I still think they're very cool!! I also find them felling affection for Ryuunosuke to be very sweet, they're the only character in the whole series together with Higuchi who's ever shown to genuinely care about him.

Least favorite thing about them: How they weren't given a personality outside of “Akutagawa's sister”. Like, I love Gin, but being honest, it's more of loving the character I built pretty much from scratch for them in my mind, because canon literally never gave them a personality. Also, I don't like the voice actor choice for them… I don't know if I'm being conservative with this, but I find that kind of hyperfemininity they're depicted having sometimes (their high-pitched voice, the onsen scene in Wan) pretty stereotypical, that taste of “all tough girls deep down actually want to be delicate and femminine” from old medias I don't really vibe with.

Favorite line:

This one, because it's funny, and specifically because it's a non-verbal line. I like the idea of Gin using their sword more than they use their mouth.

brOTP: Look, I'm weak for siblings dynamics. They're always my favourite thing. I don't remember ever having an hyperfixation that didn't include siblings dynamics. I love love love the Gin / Ryuunosuke relationship and could talk about them for days. ALSO the Black Lizard in general I've already talked about them here I care so much about them. I really like tachigin platonically too. And I like Gin's dynamics with Higuchi, I actually like them better platonically.

OTP: I dig everything tachigin, I really like them and the “I'm not who I say I am but you know me better than myself even though you don't know my true identity” deal they have going on. I also like the idea of Gin and Naomi 👀👀👀 talkative gf x gf who's never said a word their whole life. Also my personal crack ship Gin × Paula ThePromisedNeverland

nOTP: ... I don't really dig higu/gin. Higu/gin friends, please forgive me. I just think that starting dating the person your brother has repeatedly abused would be super awkward, and I don't think I really like the idea of Higuchi basically dating Ryuunosuke's sister as rebound guy. Also it's just a thing with me and not being a fan of vanilla / sugar spice and everything nice wlw ships. I do acknowledge they have their fair share of scenes together and that they're perfect to be interpreted romantically!! The latest volume 23 omake especially, it can perfectly be taken as romantic. It's just not something that does it for me, and tbh I like them better with having a kind of sisters dynamics, with Higuchi being this kind of very exuberant and silly self-assigned older sister and Gin who just likes her and enjoys hanging out with her.

Random headcanon: Oh boy, may I introduce you to my Gin brainrot. I really have so many ideas about them. Apart from what I've already mentioned, I really like the idea of them having selective mutism, especially as it's shown in Wan. I don't think they're someone to talk in general. The Akutagawas household must be death silent 24/7 lol.

Unpopular opinion: I just wish people would give them more flaws. I'ver read my fair share of Gin fics, and in all of them they're always this kind of sassy / funny / witty / pretty / confident / charismatic / overall perfect person. As result, I find them quite boring to read, and they particularly pale in comparison to Ryuunosuke; especially since at least for me it's his flaws that make him such a compelling character. I wish we'd extend some of his flaws to Gin too. They're bad at communication and expressing their feelings. They're aggressive and pessimistic. Idk, anything that makes them a little more human.

Song i associate with them: How To World Domination by Neru. Just the overall imaginary it evokes of two siblings close in age fighting together in a world that is both violent and war-ridden, and terribly domestic and mundane. The feeling of being lonely together. Them both fighting to become a better version of themselves, a kinder version of themselves, even, before my heart grows numb from the cold. This song really is one that always evokes the Akutagawa siblings in my mind whenever it comes on shuffle. Also, Re-education by Neru, for similar reasons.

[perfectlovevn]

Hello Hello! I hope you are well and taking care of yourself! I would like to point out first of all that English is not my first language even if I master it quite well, but I therefore use a translator to avoid making too many mistakes (I'm French lol), and I also want to say that I loved the game! It was so interesting, plus Milo has become my new hyperfixation!! He is so endearing, he caused me so much pain for him, I was ashamed for the choices I made for him, but like it was the only solution to have all the endings then let's go :).

I would like to ask you a lot of questions, especially about preMilo! You don't have to answer them if one of them makes you uncomfortable <3

First of all, if MC were doing cosplay, would Milo agree, for example, to sew up a piece that fell off, was torn, or was poorly sewn? Especially if for example it's a cosplay that has great value for MC? (lol imagine a cosplay of Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, if MC is a fan)

And in relation to one of the scenes hidden in the game (where I was only able to find the text in the script, and the sprites), when we see Milo, after a shower, half naked, if MC would have been nice, not like Eris, how would it have gone? Of course it's not a NSFW question, just a curious question, since after seeing us he started running :') Poor Milo…

Anyway, that was all for my questions! If I have more in the future, I hope you won't mind answering them if you have time. I'm sorry that the question was a little weird, but it was also a little to help me for my oc that I would like to create for him, to at least make him a little happier, in any case I hope May you have a great day and thank you very much! ^^

gives kisses all over Milo’s face ♡♥

Wow, so many different people play my game and that’s so very cool to me. Milo as your hyperfixation?? Hwuhhh?? I’m blown away.

No problem ask as many questions as you’d like.

Yeah, I don’t think Milo has ever sewn stuff for cosplay, but I think he’d be pretty good at it! I think even more than just sew on a small piece, he might end up making the whole thing if you’ll allow it. I think it would be a dream come true if the two of you work on cosplay together ( though he might be shy about wearing it). I can also imagine he keeps the piece of cloth and then uses different but better material for it if he can.

Haha, found my extra scene! I think even for a kind MC, Milo’s reaction would be about the same where he would be really flustered and try to hide so he could change. I think if you did try to catch him and try to suggest anything more… well, lewd, he’d probably just stop responding or maybe pass out. I don’t think at this stage he would really be capable of doing anything like that mostly because he’s very shy.

Yep! No problem! I’d love to see your oc afterwards and if you have any other asks feel free to send me more!

Precious babies - I’m sure nothing bad will ever happen to them.

(ID: Reference sheet for my Kirby OCs, Para Dee and Bow Dee. Visually, Para is a young Waddle Dee with light orange fur, a pale beige face, peach cheek blush, brown eyes, and yellow feet. He wears large round glasses taped on the sides of his head and a green-and-brown plaid bowtie, and there is a little curl of fur swooping up from his forehead. Bow is a smaller Waddle Dee with red-orange fur, a beige face, pink cheek blush, big black eyebrows, brown eyes with a hint of sea-foam blue on the bottom, and gold-yellow feet. She wears a large navy-blue bow on the back of her head, the ribbon rimmed in pale-blue and wrapped around her head in the style of Kirby’s Fighter headband. Additional information below the cut. END ID.)

Just their kid versions at the moment, but there might be teen and adult refs for them in the future depending on how much story stuff I get around to showcasing. I got a couple other characters in mind for the Childhood Friends AU as well, but they’re still deep in concept stages, so no refs for them yet, haha. Also, if you guys want refs for young Dedede and Meta, lemme know.

UPDATE 03/11/24: Added shadows to bottom of the kids' feet.

Sketch started some time in 11/23, render started 12/13/23, finished 12/20/23. NOTE: This was originally posted on my deleted account on 01/08/24.

Some facts about Para Dee:

-His name is just a shortened version of “Parasol Waddle Dee” - in addition to reflecting his Copy Ability, he has yet to find another name that he feels fits him better, so he keeps it as a nickname for much of his childhood and beyond.

-He is around DDD and Meta’s age, and a little older than Bow.

-He is the middle child in a pretty big family. While he cares for them all very dearly, being crammed in a veritable mosh pit of siblings gets to be a bit much for him sometimes. He hangs out with DDD and co. partially to get away for a while, partially because he was probably going to get roped in with them anyway.

-He shares a deep love of books and learning with Meta, though his interests lean more towards math and science, with space being perhaps his biggest hyperfixation. Seriously, this lad can go on about nebulae and quantum mechanics for hours if you let him.

-Para has an unfortunate habit of “Um, actually”-ing people about topics he knows (or thinks he knows) well, annoying his friends at best and making him an easy target for local bullies at worse…

-Unlike his friends, Para is not a very active or adventurous soul. He is easily startled, chronically un-athletic, and unlikely to harm a fly let alone another person. He much prefers quieter activities like reading and stargazing, especially from the comfort of his own home. The only physical activity he actually enjoys is rollerskating, though all he does is leisurely roll around while watching the others fail at doing cool tricks.

-Though reluctant about most things, Para is especially afraid of heights. Even being slightly up off the ground has him scrambling to cling to the nearest solid object (usually DDD, who has probably picked him up, possibly with the intent to throw).

-While his friends go on about their lofty goals of being kings and knights, Para’s ambitions are relatively lax. He’d like to go to university off-world to study rocket science when he’s older, maybe even learn to build them one day, but that’s about as big as his dreams get, and even those could be narrowed down further to just seeing a real interstellar starship in person. Sometimes, he imagines flying through space on one, seeing all those stars he loves so much up close and personal, even if the idea of being up that high makes his little heart stutter in his chest…

—

Some facts about Bow Dee:

-She is named, unsurprisingly, for the bow on her head, which she has been wearing since she was a baby and practically refuses to remove without a lot of coaxing (stars help anyone who tries to take it off by force). She keeps both the name and the bow for much of her childhood, though she might not keep them (or her pronouns) forever…

-She is the baby of the group (a year or two younger than DDD, Meta, and Para).

-She comes from a relatively small family, taken care of by her two (extremely cool) moms and an older brother who is often away at school or out with his friends (usually to get away from his "obnoxious baby sister"). As a result, she is on her own more than she cares to be - hence why she follows DDD and his friends around like an overeager puppy all the time.

-She thinks Meta is the coolest person ever from the moment she meets him. She hovers around him constantly whenever the gang is together (much to his slight annoyance), sometimes even mimicking his poses and gestures without meaning to (usually while Meta is mimicking DDD the same way).

-Bow was born with a Copy Ability atypical for Waddle Dees, that being Water. At this point in her life, the most she can do is manifest bubbles at will and maybe manipulate small puddles if she focuses hard enough. Though sometimes, in moments of high emotion, she can summon powerful jets of water from nearby rivers, lakes, or even pipes beneath the ground (something that has definitely gotten her into trouble more than once). She will get the hang of her powers with enough time and practice, especially as her interests in oceans, sea life, and sailing grow over time…

-Bow finds it hard to sit still and loses focus easily if she’s not already invested in something (much to her teachers’ frustration). But when she is invested in a task, she will go all in on it until either her energy wears out or something else grabs her attention.

-Bow loves sports and most outdoor activities, constantly bouncing between favorites (though she probably loves swimming and surfing the most) and getting super competitive when teams are involved (much to DDD and Meta’s delight, and Para’s dismay).

-On that note, she is the only one of the four who has ever successfully landed a kickflip without getting hurt (at least after the first time).

-Bow - who often forgets that she is the smallest person in the room - will challenge anything to a fight if it makes her angry enough. Literally, she will look a feral Gigant Edge directly in the helmet and put up her little fists like she has any chance at winning. The only exception to this is bugs - she will perish before letting a bug anywhere near here (something DDD never lets her live down).

-If she had a mouth, she would bite.

[mandalhoerian]

I have an urge to talk in Turkish here but I gotta keep it to myself now haha. Your page gives me a sense of comfort with the fact that you're Turkish.

What I was trying to say, that if you feel like no one's is interested in our girl Vera etc or the content/posts you want to make for her here apart from the fic writing, don't think like that because it is your page and your followers follows you for a reason.

But most importantly, what I was trying to say, that Vera gives me so much comfort as a Turkish woman myself like her ( my hair is also wavy like her how her hair gets after rain haha ). I love your Vera content. I just wanted to say that. She is also giving me inspiration for my own oc making. Back in the time I was so hesitant with the thought of making Turkish ocs, but with her and you of course, I started to beat that voice.

i'm answering this a bit late so my apologies! I wanted to say a lot but ramadan has me lazing around not wanting to do anything, so I procrastinated 😭

i know the as bayrakları as as as 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 feeling like the last thing I expected to find here was another Turkish RE creator like. It's such a bizarre kinship and comfort, I know how you feel! I'm happy I was able to give it back.

Our girl Vera has me GRINNING, but not to change the subject too much, I know,,, it's a feeling that comes and goes. I used to barely get any interaction regarding her prior to the release of RE4R and when im deep into the hyperfixation i don't care much for feedback, I just create. Like. I guess multiple chapters beyond the 10K threshold are proof of that, looking back i had to be insane to be in it that deep. i remember being like "OMG 180 HITS BETWEEN CHAPTERS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!" on ao3! 😭 the lack of interest gets to a writer, eventually, i guess, you just want the readers to show they're enjoying to work or not in some way. But the reminder that (some of, at least) my followers follow me for Vera is extremely consoling, thank you so much!

I'm so happy that you like Vera! It's very humbling to hear she as a Turkish woman is resonating with you, I never thought about having any Turkish readers at all when I was working on her... I always thought if I had, would it be cringy or not.

Because us as people really have an inferiority complex and are too self-conscious regarding these things, I remember how literally all of my Turkish writer friends (every single one of them) thought a Turkish main character would be EMBARRASSING in any fandom we would write for. We hated it, and everybody and their other writer friends also did. The idea of a Turkish character was cringy. But when other foreign writers would write Turkish OCs suddenly it was so cool and "AS BAYRAKLARI" .

I had a couple Filipino friends on wattpad who would write Filipino OCs and be so proud of their heritage and how they were incorporating it into the story, like, for example, I had a friend who re-designed and rebranded the planet Alderaan from Star Wars using their culture because the actress who played the queen was Filipino and she was so happy about it. It was so fascinating to me how she genuinely did something so creative and made it work so well. Another Filipino friend did this for Stranger Things, and in the heart of her story was immigrant struggles.

I never really questioned why Turkish people couldn't be like this until I was working on Vera, and her being Turkish started out as a joke. I wanted to immediately scrap it, thinking "no lmao what the fuck of course not" .

If another person did this, I would eat !! it !! up!!

But when I seriously wanted to make her Turkish it was suddenly embarrassing. It was a hard thing to get over. English fanfic reading really wires our brains to accept characters only of foreign nationalities and ethnicities because "it fits the story better" -- we only consume western media and hold it in higher regard.

I understand you so well, and I'm so glad I'm somehow encouraging you on this matter. Because why are we so embarrassed of ourselves?

Thank you for this ask, it really meant a lot to hear all of this! and I'm sorry I really went off on a tangent 😭

#an ask for shai

[lightasthesun]

🖤🔐🫐🪐☂️ for the get to know me thingy!

yay thank you for the ask!! And so many too 🫶

🖤 favorite hobbies outside of your blog

writing, reading, painting with acrylics, horse riding, and brainstorming. I really really really love brainstorming. I've been working on a post war no-order 66 AU for like a little more than a year on and off and I just got back into it again and I freaking love doing all the research. I'm working on establishing Mikkia and the Mikkians rn ie. coz one of my oc's is Mikkian and I completely went off the rails and hyperfixated. It's so FUN

🔐 something no one would guess about you

hmm that's hard. I'm a pretty open person. I tell my friends everything if they bother to ask but I think from the outside people would be surprised by how much I care about other people's opinions and how much it holds me back (sadly) I think it even surprises my friends and family despite them knowing me so well. I'm a risk taker but before I take any risks I worry for like a decade before making a decision. It's one of my biggest faults.

🫐 some place you’d love to visit

the merlin set omg but especially the darkling woods!!! Pretty sure it's puzzlewood in Gloucester. But also New Zealand. It's home to so many of my favourite movies and it literally has mountains and snow and beaches and forests and rainforests and like!!! Everything!! So cool. Sadly very expensive but one day!

🪐 favorite shows / series of all time

Star Wars The Clone Wars and Merlin. They're both constantly fighting for first place.

☂️ your favorite fanfic from another writer

Omg omg omg SO MANY. But you're a fellow merlin fan tho your url also suggests the mandalorian at least? Here are some specifically for you. I'm always happy to rec fics.

scar reveal/reveal fic merlin

merthur and magic reveal before Arthur's coronation by the brilliant @regulusrules

the phenomenal @southfarthing pulls you apart and then slowly puts you back together

also my all time favourite series that I devoured in less than a week that ended in a reading burnout for half a year

🌟OC Tag Game🌟

Thank you for the tag @brother-genitivi! This tag game is cool, but also a curse because I hate deciding between things lol

(Looking at this now that I am finished...I think a lot of these might be surprising, but there it is)

Favorite OC: Agggh :c It genuinely rotates and is largely determined by who I'm having the most fun writing at any given moment. If I really had to pick, it would have to be Araceli, one of my original work babies. She brings an "I'm off shift in ten minutes, do it yourself" vibe to the supernatural that I really dig.

Newest OC: Jesse, my Shepard. Technically she's older than all the others (I've been playing Mass Effect longer) but I've only very recently started to develop her into an actual character for writing. She's a cowgirl c:

Oldest OC: Not counting original stuff, it's Elowen Lavellan. I originally intended her to be my canon Inquisitor (and she's the impetus for me writing fic to post, actually!) and her playthrough is why I wrote Your Fate for Mine.

Meanest OC: Oooh so this is a really interesting question, bc Arianwen is definitely the most blunt (and she really doesn't care about people's feelings much), but Maria is actually more capable of saying really hurtful things because she understands people so much better. Wen will ignore someone crying over a dead loved one, but if pressed Maria will find the secret hurt you've been nursing for the last decade and jam her fingernails right into it.

Softest OC: Oooh hm. I think they all have a soft side, in their way, but I think Salshira craves softness the most. She doesn't really know how to articulate that until she knows she's wanted, though. She is an extremely caring friend, she just struggles with being open and vulnerable in return.

Most Aloof/Standoffish OC: Arianwen Tabris. Would rather sit in a tree than socialize. Would rather do most things that aren't socializing. Don't talk to her, she's busy (trying to train a squirrel to pick pockets)

Dumbest (affectionate) OC: Hmmm Wen isn't at all book-smart (can't imagine the alienage education system is worth much), but she's canny. Elowen is the most oblivious/least people-smart/most socially awkward. I wouldn't describe any of them as dumb (certainly not to their faces), but they all have the capacity to be idiots in love (a crucial characteristic to me).

Smartest OC: Oooh I think Emmaera. She's the most able to retain information and she likes understanding how/why things work. When she gets into a research hyperfixation, she stops noticing that time passes. Her infodumps are truly a sight to behold. (but I think Maria is a close second c: )

OC I'd Probably Be Friends With: Emma or Maria. Maria could befriend most people given the right circumstances (she's also hilarious) and Emma and I share an interest in understanding culture (and treasure hunts/hiding things for a joke). (I think I would get along with all of them okay, but those are my top two)

Tagging: @greypetrel @dungeons-and-dragon-age @gaysebastianvael and anyone else who wants in---I tried to pick people with several OCs (who hadn't been tagged yet), but reply with a 👀 or shoot me an ask and I will gladly tag you c:

#could not be friends w salshira because every conversation would be like that tiktok where the lady is like #can you top me---i mean---can i take your top off---i mean---do you need me to take the top off your bottle #it would be so embarassing #did you know you can color people's usernames? i didn't!! how fun c: #tag game #oc tag game #arianwen tabris #maria hawke #emmaera lavellan #elowen lavellan #salshira lavellan #also: if i am tagging people in too many things lmk; i don't want to stress anybody out. it's all for fun! #i stop tagging folks if it's been a while since they've done something i tagged them in specifically cus i don't want to be a bother!

You and the Shadows That Trail Alongside You Episode 1

Trigger Warnings: Anxiety

Fandom: Bungo Stray Dogs

Pairing: Dazai x OC / Chuuya x OC

Notes: Welcome to a deeply personal story. It's just a self insert fic making me, an adult black woman with many a mental health issue, face my demons. If it helps anyone else? Awesome. A name is never used, so it would qualify as a reader insert if you like.

Enjoy

____________________________

If I had lived a different life, I think I would have been a Literature major. Actually, I almost was. I wanted to go to school for it out in Atlanta, but that idea was popped the moment it was asked how I would feed myself, if I could make money, and did it translate to skills for when robots inevitably took my job.

Needless to say I went to school for something else.

However, the idea still lingered. Hell, I would argue it expanded as I got older. American literature was fun, English Literature was my first love, and then there was Japanese literature....

I was introduced to it thanks to a friend, and I fucking loved it. Sitting in alher living room, watching this anime called Bungo Stray Dogs, made me fall in love with not just Japanese literature, but the entire written word all over again. With the themes that could be woven with just ink and paper, lessons that could burn your soul, and all in a rather pretty package.

I was more than a bit smitten with the idea.

Literature.

Reading.

Writing.

Maybe I dug a little too deep into my latest hyperfixation. Plunged my hands a bit too far wanting more, more, more. Everyone always joked that my greatest vice was greed, and I always agreed with them without a hint of hesitation. Whether it was money, love, or just hyperfixations I just wanted more.

And now it had called in its debt.

Because how else did one explain waking up in the middle of an unfamiliar city?

I was damn near a hermit. I left my house only on Mondays and Thursdays at the insistance of my friends. Hell, I rarely left my own bedroom.

I stared at the cars that zoomed past on the street only a few feet away from where I sat on a bench. The stench of gasoline was comforting, something that felt familiar and safe. All that was missing was cigarettes and pine.

I tilted my head back and groaned. "Please for the love of christ focus! You're supposed to be getting courage to ask for directions, remember?"

Directions, a lift, even a half hearted shrug would be nice. However, that meant approaching someone, which meant talking to someone, which meant showing off my poor Japanese skills...

I glare at the very clearly Japanese street sign, as if it was the reason I was procrastinating.

"Oh yeah! And remember that one time-"

My head whipped around and I watched a young woman walk down the street with a well to do looking man. Both of them appeared Japanese, and the words that I could understand, more than I swore I studied, came easily enough.

I worried my bottom lip and watched them go further down the road. Then, just as they turned a corner, I finally picked myself up and hurried after them. Concrete warmed my feet, and the cool breeze dried the beginnings of tears as I hurried.

A sharp pain in my shoulder had me stumbling, and I twisted around just to get a brown haired man only inches in front of my face. "Oi!"

I blinked as he said... Honestly, I wasn't sure what he was saying. Either he was trying to sound tough or he didn't care to enunciate, either way he didn't open his mouth enough for me to understand his Japanese.

Probably not realizing I didn’t understand him, or maybe he didn't care, he continued talking. It didn't take a genius to realize he was furious by his tone.

"Hey, lay off Satoshi. It's a civilian for fuck's sake."

The man straightened up and turned around. I took that as an oppertunity to mutter a quick sorry, before sprinting away.

Now to go cry instead of getting directions...

______________________________

The sky had dipped into a swirling array of pinks, oranges, and violets. The cold was starting to set in, and my tank top and skirt combo wasn't cutting it anymore.

I leaned against a shop and dug my bare arm against the still warm brick. I still hadn't gotten the courage to speak to anyone. More people had clogged the streets, and that led me to making myself scare in an alley for the past two hours.

Now that most people had dissapeared into bars, taxis, and their homes I had crept out of my anxiety hole with the intention to try again.

"Jesus. Now look, you're sleeping on the streets. Congrats!"

I do my best to ignore my own reflection in the shop window as I push myself off. It wasn’t the first time I'd slept in the elements against my will, but...

I curled my toes and grit my teeth as I looked around. When I spotted something neon at the edge of my vision I nearly twisted my head off to see it properly. Attached to a squat building appeared to be a bar. I darted across the street and stood outside the heavy wood door. If push came to shove I could pretend to be drunk. If push came to shove I could be a dumb gaijin.

It was okay.

It was okay.

I pushed the door open, and not a soul seemed to care. In fact, the only person who seemed to notice my existence was myself.

I sucked in a breath and stepped over the threshold, cold wood making my spine shiver and grilling meat made my mouth water. I made a beeline for the bar, making myself small and avoiding the bodies of the men that crowded the rather plain bar room.

I leaned against the wood bartop and a woman with her hair piled high and a bored expression approached. She looked me up and down once before raising an eyebrow.

"Foreigner, right?" She asked in slow English. "We don't serv American military-"

"I-I'm not!" I said. "Um, I'm just lost. I have no clue where I am."

"You're at Blue Moon Bar."

"N-no... In Japan. I don’t know where in Japan I am."

The woman raised an eyebrow, her gaze stuck on me even as she reached behind her for a beer and slid it down the bar. "In Japan? Are you intoxicated? Did you use drugs?"

"No! I'm defenitely sober. Look, is there an American Embassy nearby?"

I nearly jumped out of my skin when I felt a large, callussed hand touch my shoulder. "Lost in this world and seeking company. A feeling I know all too well."

I kept my gaze locked on the woman as I sidestepped away from the hand until I could no longer feel it. "So um, do you have the directions? I can read a map too if you don't want to tell me."

"Lost and learned! What a wonderfully bitter sweet taste. You're like Cantarella used to-Gak!"

I yelp as I knock into the bar, a painful jolt going up my ribs.

"Shit." The bar tender muttered.

"Dazai you stupid, womanaizing, self centered, egotistical, waste of bandages and air!"

"Hey only one of those is actually true!"

I pushed myself off the bar with a quickness I hadn't expressed since middle school. Standing next to me was a tall man that had hair that was a bright blonde. His hands were wrapped around a far too skinny man's neck, seemingly uncaring if this would kill him.

I knew these people.

I had seen them only a few hours ago from the safety of my best friend's couch.

I was screaming about how important character design was.

My friend was laughing at me and agreeing.

I could still taste the maple syrup that I had dumped on my eggs.

"Yokohama." I whispered the words to myself, and wrapped my arms around my middle. "I'm in Yokohama."

I jumped as Dazai was suddenly dumped in front of me, his hair disheveled and his coat hanging off one shoulder. "Now apologize! Can't you see she was uncomfortable?"

"I'm no good at English."

"Of course you're not."

Kunikida clicked his tongue and grabbed Dazai's head and forced him to bow. "My friend apologizes for his behavior. He never meant to make you uncomfortable." He seemed to increase his grip if Dazai's whining was any indicator, and switched to Japanese. "Right?"

"Yeah! Whatever you say!"

"Actually, Mr. Kunikida," The bartender said. "Can you help her? She says she's not with the military, and doesn't even know what city we're in." Her voice lowered, and she too switched to Japanese. "I think she might be one of the Port Mafia's red light girls."

I knew my face had to be as red as the district she spoke about. I twisted on my heel and I started to walk away. Whether from ebaressment or self preservation I could analyze in the safety of a dumpster-

"Ma~tte."

I stopped dead and stared at my bare feet. All it did was earn a chuckle that made me want to burrow into the wood and curl into subflooring.

"Well now," A pair of scuffed brown shoes appeared in front of my feet, and when I looked up, I was gazing into the amused face of Osamu Dazai himself. "Looks like this one does know Japanese. Right, Cantarella?"

____________________________

Was it a bar or a tea house? I knew the difference intellectually, but the whiskey was making my head swim and I couldn't grapple onto anything that wasn't in my immediate focus.

Like the men in front of me.

"And you're sure you don't remember being on that side of town?" Kunikida asked.

I looked up from my glass, the ball shaped ice cube no longer interesting. "I mean probably not? I suck at remembering directions. I got lost in my elementary school every year after summer vacation!"

"Awe, what a shame." Dazai reached for the whiskey glass, and I snatched it back. "You gave it to me."

"I did."

"So it's mine."

"Of course! I just didn't realize you were such a light weight."

Kunikida sighed and I swore he called us both children. I swallowed the words behind my teeth, and directed my gaze from Dazai's unamused expression to Kunikida's exhausted one.

"The embassy or whatever is probably closed, yeah? Fuckin the worst."

"And now she talks like a deliquent."

"I'd be impressed if she could say anything coherent at all." Kunikida snapped. "Look, it's clear she doesn't know anything about the Port Mafia. Let's drop her off with the police and go look for that tiger."

The tiger?

Wait.

Episode one? Wasn't Kat and I on episode whatever of season four? Didn't whatever God, demon, alien that sent me here know that much?

"Maybe you're right. Damn, and to think we could have cracked something before Ranpo."

"Not in your dreams." Kunikida said as he stood up. "Come on, Miss. Let's get you to the police."

"The river."

Kunikida raised an eyebrow. "What?"

I dropped my gaze back to my whiskey when I felt both of their stares against my skin. It was probably a rule or something, right? You didn't say anything to influence the plot. You didn't insert yourself in the plot. Fanfiction or issekai or whatever 101.

But...

It wouldn't hurt, right?

Just this once to do something like this.

To be more than just me?

I giggled at that, a snorting sound that I had hated since I was a teenager. "Oh god, I'm stupid. So stupid."

"Miss?"

I look up at them both, the grip on my glass so tight my fingers were going numb. "A tiger, right? I saw something near the river."

The detectives looked at each other, before Kunikida snatched the glass away and hauled me up. "Well, looks like we got something useful out of this exchange afterall."

"Huh?"

Dazai knocked the glass back with ease before grinning at me with a smile that was far too sharp to be normal. "We got ourselves a witness."

[gyubby99]

@disneyanddisneyships I see everything around me and I can't help but make a new oc..

Warning: this is long asf because it involves my interests. 😦

Anyways here's my oc based on a mythological creature 😃

Yeah. Her name's Dalia (i just pick names that i think would suit her smh) and she's a creature called a "manananggal" 'cause it's literally my fave one here I'm so scared of them but at the same time it's fascinating. I think my grandma saw one when she was pregnant.

Anywho in the daytime she has a human disguise.

(I know the picrew is repetitive but idk anymore okay)

So like how it works with her is that she lives near the tree of akasya (i know because i just do.) and she fends for her human self by selling homemade rice cakes (not cursed dw it's a normal food) and when night strikes she kind of.. turns into that demonic sort of creature (she has wings) and flies around for preys to hunt.

But here's the thing.

When this happens.. she detatches her upper body from her lower body part. Yeah. A 'manananggal'. Makes sense cause it has a root word "tanggal" which is.. to remove. She literally removes her upper body from her lower half. Yeah. If you find her lower half you could see the organs. It's weird.

(I know the meaning because IT'S MY LANGUAGE AND I LIKE WEIRD MYTHS HERE)

The thing is, in the original mythology of it, creatures like these have an appetite for unborn babies. That's the connection of the thing I said earlier about my grandma seeing one while she was pregnant. They hunt pregnant women.

But in MY version because this is MY character, she hunts.. well- you guessed it. Men. It's my birthday I can make a man-killer oc as much as I want.

Yeah.. so she just flies around in the upper half of her body with wings.. with exposed intestines and stuff.

And she has. A long. Ass. Tongue. From the roof to the very bed you sleep on. That's how long. (Like if you have a smaller house or something)

She would never prey on a pregnant woman.. unless the pregnant woman doesn't want the kid. Or like if it's a literal kid that carries the unborn child. She makes an exception.

Then she hunts the heart of the father. Cool.

Sadly she has a weakness. So she can be killed. If someone finds her lower half and rubs salt or ash or garlic over her exposed flesh.. she dies. No more man killer ☹☹

She lives alone with her "friends" (other creatures found to be a threat to regular humans) also

For the million dollar question.. I am still uncertain of her 🌈preference🌈 iyk what i mean.

I mean.. if Deena kills men near the sea..

Who's gonna take care of the land? (Ik she could but majority of the land ig)

Also trivia because i wanna do this.

- she has killed a fellow creature before. Crazy part is that it's her brother.

- overthinking if I should give her a Sigbin pet.

Okay I'm scared of these things and the only way for me not to be is to make it absolutely wholesome or hot. So do not mind it if I make her pet act family friendly. Moving on.

- also, she has another weakness that can't kill her, but can keep her away. Any sort of like.. amulets or charm.. talisman is also a word for that. Just to keep her away for the time being. (She's very strong but she also has a lot of weaknesses)

- I'd like to believe that if she were in the hellaverse (hazbin/helluva) she'd be an imp. I do believe one can kill her but if she arrives in hell idk if that would make her a sinner since.. she wasn't intentionally human. It's a disguise. Maybe like.. hell would just be a prison she can't get out of. Like you're not technically dead but you're there.

(Edit: okay. I can see her as an overlord now)

- she doesn't wanna kill people until she found out not everyone was innocent.

- she's very fond of sirens. She actually lives in a forest near a waterfall so there are definitely sirens there. She keeps an eye out of one and im pretty sure that's her hyperfixation. I think she has friends who are also sirens considering how much she loves them :DD

- "does it hurt when she detatches?" Sometimes it does, sometimes it feels like a small stretch.

- you CAN look at her respectfully. This is actually a fun fact. She's mother. 😍

- she's a shapeshifter. She can shapeshift into any person you know. That's another way to lure people. But she likes her human disguise so much sometimes she doesn't wanna transform. But she's gotta survive 😔

Idk that's all I can think of. I don't mind asks about stuff like her fav color i guess. Idk. #slay

[f4gbutchdyketwink]

hello here is an about me!

my blog is 18+ only! minors don't interact!

HI MY NAME IS SPERO! IM GONNA TALK ABOUT MYSELF NOW!

my commissions are open! click this link!!!

I'm 24, my pronouns are anything except she but it/xe/he are my faves rn. I'm a guy in a twink way and a girl in a butch way 💖 I'm polyamorous and I love my wife and my boyfriend very much!!!

I'm probably autistic, got some kinda anxiety disorder, fuck knows what else. I'm also chronically ill and probably disabled at this point but I feel weird about claiming that label so idk. Likely ehlers danlos and/or lupus 🤪

ex Christian and kind of baby witch but I don't do witchy stuff often, it's more of a state of mind for me I guess

stuff I'll probably blog about:

special interests: Half Life (whole series but especially half life 2), dragons

hyperfixations: dungeons and dragons, Moominvalley (90s anime), hyperpop, Skyrim, homestuck

other interests: arts & crafts, emo/scene fashion, harajuku & kawaii fashion (especially decora and ouji), invader zim, dungeons and dragons

I mostly just reblog memes, shit posts, and helpful things/social justice posts but I will post about my interests or art every once in a while lmao

I'm also almost exclusively a mobile user lol

THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR

I will be posting NSFW here but I'll definitely tag it as such. I try to tag common triggers but I won't be able to tag everything so be careful. if we're friends/moots and you have a specific trigger lmk and I'll make sure to tag it, but I'm not really able to spend that energy on strangers so take care of yourself even if it means not following me. I don't mean this to be mean, but I only have so many spoons to remember what I need to tag.

I'm neither proship nor antiship. Thought crimes are not a thing but you also need to be responsible about how you conduct yourself online as the media you create and interact with affects real people whether that's your intention or not.

my only hard DNI is minors. if you're under 18 go away. other than that just don't be a creep or a bigot and we're cool.

I highly recommend NOT listing what you need trigger tagged publicly, you're telling random strangers how to trigger you!!! not everyone online has your best intentions in mind!

MY TAGS: maybe this will help me remember to actually tag my shit

half life: #im a simple man I see half life I hit reblog #im a simple man I see halflife I hit reblog

selfies: #my face

my art: #spero creates

OCs: #Sparkz the dragon, #Ruthless the Tiefling, #Invader Bit, #Alto the Tiefling

nsfw tags: #nsfw #nsfw image #nsfw text #lewd #lewd text #lewd image #artistic nudity

queue: #quwu

general thoughts: #spero live

potentially triggering posts will be tagged with CW or TW before the trigger itself. for example: #CW bugs #TW abuse

sorry if this is a lot but for the oc ask thing can you do 1, 3, 8, 12 & 50 for either Quinn or Estelle 🙏🙏

I'll answer this for Quinn, but if someone sends me another I'll do for Estelle

1: Do they have any crafting hobbies? Quinn DIY'S a lot of her clothes, cause she hates buying new things. Most of the time she'll go to thrift stores and then fix up and make whatever she finds cooler. She also casually makes digital art, mostly fandom animatics of whatever her hyperfixation is at the time.

3: Do they enjoy cooking? Quinn loves the idea of cooking, but they are a mistake magnet in the kitchen and CANNOT for the love of god follow a recipe. She would love to be able to bake for her friends and partners, because she struggles to show affection, but the food is always messed up in some way. In short, no, cooking is NOT for Quinn.

8: Yes, Quinn has been collecting the tabs of soda cans for years. Because she loves soft drinks a bit too much, she has amounted over 500 tabs. She doesn't yet know what to do with them, but may give them all to Estelle, who's the most creative of the 3.

12: Do they have any sense of style? Regardless of the answer do they believe they have a sense of style? Quinn's sense of style is not conventional, and involves layering and thrifted, patched clothes. In my opinion, Quinn has a very cool sense of style, which would be labelled as "alternative" although she doesn't love labels in general. In Quinn's opinion, they think they have a cool sense style, but don't care enough about other people's opinions to really work on it. Overall, yes Quinn has a sense of style, and yes, she knows it.

50: What's your favourite thing about them? Although I have made her her own character, and she has unique features, my favourite thing about Quinn is how much of a self-insert OC she is. If I'm asked a question I don't have an answer to, I can just take it from my experiences, which is something I did when creating her. Another thing I love is her character design. Although I've designed quite a few characters, Quinn is my first, oldest and coolest design (followed closely by Estelle, and then Kai). I love their hair, clothing, and I know this sounds weird, but unique face shape.

Thank you so much for asking me this!! It was really fun

[konnfusion]

You've tagged so many cool posts with Odessa that I'm officially intrigued, I would love to hear about her!

I hope you're okay that I posted this publicly because you're the first person to ask about OC lore in quite some time, and I am ECSTATIC!

I will put a "read more", however, as I tend to ramble, and will mostly assume anyone reading this knows something about Doctor Who.

so a brief tldr; primer is that about a decade or so ago, my now-husband and I were intensely into Doctor Who and did a very cheesy, self-indulgent (pretty poorly-written but fun) RP here on tumblr with a companion character I'd created traveling with the Tenth Doctor. cut to now in 2023, and he's fully back into DW (classic and new), and dragged me along with him. I'd been reworking this character I'd created off-and-on for years (changing her name, her faceclaim, backstory, everything; I just felt like she deserved an update as my writing developed and improved!), and now that the hyperfixation is back in full swing, so is she.

pinterest board for vibe check // story pinterest board with working title for extra vibe check // said posts I've tagged with her name

basically, Odessa is a young woman living in an isolated cottage in the countryside following personal turmoil (including the mysterious and untimely death of her parents and possibly leaving a man at the altar, her neighbors are unsure about that last part; she's a little bit of a "champagne problems" gal), and barely has any contact with anyone. she's just chosen to shut herself up for whatever time she has left on Earth, and tend to her garden and books and be alone until she dies.

but, on her way home from a trip to town one day, her bike runs into a big blue police box that definitely hadn't been on this rural dirt before, and there's man nearby who says he's investigating some strange, not-of-Earth communication signals in the area. I won't give all the details since we're intending to publish portions of this at some point (I hope!), but she decides to help The Doctor find the source of the signals and hopefully stop whatever's going on before it can hurt anyone. it turns out the mystery is linked to her and to the death of her parents, and shines a new light on the tragedy and on her decision to live an isolated, quiet life alone. so, when they've deal with the threat and The Doctor invites her to travel through time and space with him, she agrees. might've been a little bit of a "Getaway Car" situation in the beginning, but developed into something so, so much bigger.

we've been planning lots of original adventures with her, as well as some stuff that adds her into canon episodes, all going through the end of Ten's run, through Eleven's, and into Twelve's and beyond. and, yes, she does get to find romance because I am a romantic at heart, so how can I resist?

there's so much I love about her that I wish I could put into concrete words, but I recently realized that the arc I'd been writing for her was seeing her start as someone who decided to lock away her love because all she ever did was lose the things she loved; to grow into someone who forged this huge, time-and-space-spanning family that she could love unabashedly and wholeheartedly. sort of a coming-of-age out of linear time, and one that she never got to have because she just always felt stuck in the same place (derogatory). she gets the chance to fight to protect the things she cares about, and be openly who she is without fear of judgement or shame--and feel like she matters in her own life. (I do like to joke, though, that she locked away her love because, for her, all love does is end, but then she fell in love with someone who is functionally immortal, so did she really ever unpack that fear? it's sweet, though, I promise.)

it's been fun morphing her into a character that sometimes is just so unapologetically weird, too. I mean, to travel with a centuries-old alien through all of time and space, you have to be a little weird, but I feel like I just poured all my wonderful weird into her and let her run wild. (and this is the first post I tagged her in during this little revisiting, SO. this somewhat references a plot point that my husband doesn't even know about yet, but that will be deliciously angsty and link back to Odessa and The Doctor's very first meeting.) it's been really satisfying to rework a character I've had in my back pocket for a decade and feel like she's more fully-realized, even if just in my own head. less of an avatar, and more of an actual character with needs and an arc. (an actual character who has a proclivity for going after Daleks with a baseball bat and relates a little too hard to the bridge of "Mastermind", but I digress.)

it's also been so gratifying revisiting a story that my now-husband and I were working on in the very beginnings of our friendship, and develop the romance plot from just romance to eventually a marriage between two characters we both really love. hell, we've already formed a spin-off AU, and one-off adventures with different incarnations of The Doctor outside of their shared linear timeline. (one of my husband's creations is a story where she's put on trial for perceived "crimes" against the known universe, and for being accessory to "crimes" committed by The Doctor. we love a chaotic woman wanted for multiple violations against the space-time continuum. ✨)

as I'm re-reading this, it feels kind of vague for how much lore I have in my brain, but honestly sometimes it's like when someone asks what your favorite movie is, and you suddenly forget every movie you've ever seen. 😅 I'm always so, so happy to talk about my characters (and their pinterest boards and playlists and such), please feel free to ask me to elaborate on anything if you're still curious!!! 💕 Odessa is a constantly-shifting, ever-developing, total-failed-misanthrope-beause-her-heart-is-just-too-big, time-traveling madwoman in my mind, and I love her so, so much and love that you reached out to ask about her!!!

#ask #kaijueiga #oc talk #odessa #text #anyone is always welcome to ask about my OCs oh my god I could make powerpoint presentations on all of them #like I am geeking right now this ask has made my whole day!!!!

[clearlitebergaming]

finally made this! list of OC / characters from gw2 and ffxiv; along with their personalities descriptions and brief background. all of this info mostly on base game condition.

will add if i have another hyperfixation on some other mmo games

under the cut cause its a bit long

Character Lists

~ Guild Wars 2 ~

Sukma Adhikara (Dhika) Human / Thief. 32 M (core tyria)

My Main, but not 'The Commander', not anymore. Laid back, flirty, and deceivingly pleasant to be around. If he can spend as little time and effort as possible to do something, he will. 'Indiscriminately Promiscuous' is how people around him described him.

Grew up in the street as petty thief, then became prostitute. From alleyway hooker to the noble's secret escort. Those were hard times and he has scar on his face during that as souvenir. He left that life behind after recruited into Order of Whisper at the age of 29 and paired with Tybalt for 3 years before the start of personal story. Its during campaign against Zhaitan, that he and Trahearne started to see each other secretly.

After Maguuma Operation he fell into severe mental health issue. Resigned from the Pact, and disappear for a year. Before reappearing, dragged by Sulestari, to form Dragon's Watch with Rytlock and Taimi. Nowadays, hes more or less stable, though age really mellows him out.

funfact: at first his name is kinda also a dick joke (sukmadikha <<< which is actual name in my tribe mind you!!! XD) but i got warning from GM and changed it into Sukma Adhikara, which roughly means "Soul Commander"; and i got angry because its actually rather cool name now??? XD

Sulestari Sylvari / Mesmer. 3mo M (core tyria)

Actual 'The Commander of the Pact'. Cycle of Dawn. The Chosen Valiant. He was sylvari of great enthusiasms and honesty. Always eager to help, although having a bit of temper and cautious toward other races.

Gardeners joked that Sulestari is actually so Daybloom he woke up early at Dawn instead. He wears his metaphorical hearts on his sleeves. He thinks of Pale Tree as his mother, Caithe as big sister, and he admires Trahearne greatly.

Over the years he became more and more jaded and bitter, even if he still helps those around him, seemingly out of self-imposed obligation.

funfact: i actually want to make female sylvari and named her lestari. but somehow it became male sylvari instead?? while lestari already gender neutral name, i want to make it kinda masculine, so adding 'su' like common boy name of my tribe. lestari means everlasting / preserving.

Brite Hearthkeeper Charr / Elementalist. 28 M (core tyria)

Olmakhan Charr. He cooks and cares for the cubs in the village. He joins the Olmakhan forces in aiding the events of S4. And after that, he sorta hangs around commanders / wanders around Tyria to see the world.

~ Final Fantasy XIV ~

Julian Bahari Sea Wolf Roegadyn / DRK Main. 19F (ARR)

Warrior of Light. Unyielding and seemingly stoic young woman, shes actually pretty awkward socially. She rarely talks due to selective mutism. Inside, she has adventurous spirit and a hot-blooded person. She loves to brawl and eat. Shes also protective person and ready to square up to any threats anytime.

She was raised along with other orphans in Lost Hope to mine ore as form of returning favor to the merchant that take care of them, as well as paying for ongoing 'rent and meal'. One day, she was so mesmerized by group of adventurers's lifestyle and decided to just book it out of the mine and become adventurer herself.

Enjoying her newfound freedom, shes been doing odd jobs, getting beat up as gladiator, and knee deep in plethora of small gigs -- earning barely enough gils-- for quite awhile, before meeting Thancred and subsequently recruited into Scions of Seventh Dawn.

funfact: out of all mmo character that i played, juli is the one i love the most. practically love at first sight. aaaa beloved.... anyway, bahari means sea / nautical. im not very creative at making names, actually... sorry. julian is from my old story i wrote, it was given to a unyielding male soldier, so i feel this like spiritual successor to that character. kinda?

Haelborn Wyrnedzasyn Seawolf Roegadyn / WHM Main. 54M (ARR)

Hes war-weary old man with mild manner. He took interest in gardening and sewing. After all the horror of war and slavery, he choose peace many times over anything. Even so, when its time to fight, he wont hesitate to bring all of him to help. Eventually, he became Juli's retainer. Married to a male vierra named Yukine Benitoki (my friend's oc)

Garlean conscript since very young age. He survived Carteneau Flats war during Great Calamity and the fall of Castrum Meridianum. Having no place to return to, he wanders around Black Shroud, learning of local's way of life and shedding violence for mending life.

When his past life is exposed, he once again casted out of the shroud. During which, the allied force of grand companies taking over baelsar's wall; allowing haelborn to slip past into last forest. One thing lead to another, he and juli met, fought together, and became friend. Upon knowing of his situation, juli offered haelborn to live with her for free; which he counteroffered by offering him to be her retainer instead.

funfact: finally, a name that is actually lore compliant. took a bit of brainstorming with friend too... haelborn wyrnedzasyn means healthy boar, son of snake-eater. yeah its also kinda dirty joke at the end. sorry again. one thing for sure, i didnt expect him to be such a Soft Boy... huh.

#gw2 #ffxiv #sukma adhikara #sulestari #julian bahari #haelborn wyrnedzasyn #gw2 commander #WoL #wol oc #thank you so much to you for reading! #it makes me happy to share my blorbos with people XD #brite hearthkeeper

[briarborealisocs]

in terms of vibes, where do you pull inspirstion from for your WIPs? (you don't have to answer for all of them, just your current faves lol)

ohohohohhhh i love Vibes questions. i think i WILL answer for all of them actually

whoopsverse:

since kiska and vas are really my only active whoopsverse characters, ill talk about vibe inspo for them specifically rather than for the whole world. i made kiska and redesigned vas in the HEIGHT of my dsmp hyperfixation so a lot of their vibes character-wise are inspired by fanon takes on dsmp characters. namely, vas was inspired by the "young traumatized teenage rapscallion" archetype tommy fits into a lot of the time, and kiska was inspired by both philza and technoblade characterizations in a lot of fics (ancient, powerful, aloof, but kind and caring too)

as for vibes, like, aesthetically, kiska is very much like. a spooky monster. fog in the forest, glowing eyes staring back out at you from the darkness type beat. cryptid stuff. the creeping dread you get when the woods fall silent and you know there's a predator nearby. but also when she's off-duty she's very much inspired by like, soft domestic cottagecore type beat. like she lives out on a farm homesteading when she's in the mortal realm. meanwhile vas is purple i love purple i think it's a great color. she's inspired by like gremlincore (i think) where she just wears these big baggy clothes and looks a mess but in an almost intentional way. it's not intentional on her part but it is on mine lol

idk i don't really... pull vibes from specific media for them because i don't really engage with media that has Their Vibes very often. im sure there's a ton of stuff that's subconsciously influencing me but it's subconscious so. LOL

project starstruck:

pss is definitely different from a lot of my other stories in the sense that it's modern fantasy slice of life-ish thing. i pull a lot of vibes from Stories About College and from my own experiences and from others experiences, but then there's also a supernatural element where i grab a lot of inspiration from fics ive read that involve Ghosts. haha. the vibes are definitely like "our world but a little to the left" which is easier to quantify vibes-wise than some of my other stuff

austral and boreal are also (perhaps obviously) designed after the southern and northern lights, respectively. i grabbed a photo from The Internet and color picked for their og color palettes (i did my own color palettes in their most recent redesign). boreal's original outfit was inspired by like light academia and austral's was. a suit. in their redesigns austral still wears a blazer and slacks because she's a try hard but boreal is now inspired by like 80s-90s fashion, which i think is silly and cute because she's a ghost (even though she wasnt alive or dead back in the 80s and 90s). their post-story designs, austral dresses very casual in a hoodie and sweats because she's finally letting herself dress comfortably, and boreal is dressed in like a 60s-70s aesthetic Ish because she thinks it's very cool

silly superhero story:

this one is probably the easiest to pin down inspo for because i was Directly Inspired by something to make it. i read SOOOOOO many superhero au fanfics for the dsmp and i absolutely loved the fanon worldbuilding and archetypes/tropes that people used. i wanted to do my own spin on it but my dsmp ideas never worked out so i just made ocs to brainrot over instead. im sure a lot of those fics were inspired by marvel (i saw a lot of spiderman specifically) and i definitely grew up on marvel but im mainly pulling from the fics i read for vibes. back in 2021 i made a vigilante/superhero vibes playlist inspired by one @doeblossom had made. it's mostly upbeat high energy songs that i can imagine someone doing roof parkour combat to. that playlist was the one that i was listening to when i started brainrotting about these ocs, and to this day whenever i listen to it i go awooga awooga.

i also pull vibes from shows like gravity falls and the owl house in regards to plot pacing and conflict scaling. i love a good middle grades media that starts out fairly chill but gets crazy intense by the end!! sshs is more pg-13/young adult than middle grades just based on character ages but the vibes are still there. im also sick of young adult being swamped by grimdark and romance maybe some young adults want to read about silly things (i know i do)

anyhoozle yeaaaah woo!!

the weaver's apprentice:

this one the vibes are mostly driven by @natyune-writes but i draw inspiration for dijah and this story from madoka magica specifically. the vibes are there i hope. also kind of inspired by d&d and mystery/detective stories haha. this one is probably the story i have the least secure grasp on atp so maybe things will change in da future

toh oc:

sol is inspired by (obviously) the owl house but also i really wanted her to have kind of a benign mad scientist vibe. she's Orange also. since she's a self-insert (ish) as well as an oc i also project a lot of my own experiences onto her teehee she's my sillyguy

Boring musings

Rereading all the karonoe ao3 has to offer and I found a fic I haven't read before and I'm feeling FERAL over it. I gotta write more fic myself, bit I really wanna read more 😭

Why have they irrecoverably altered my brain chemistry and yet I feel like I gotta play it cool and be like haha I like them a normal amount...

I do feel like a few people that know me irl assume my OCs are like, mirrors to Caron and Noel because I like them so much, and although the same concept of a human devil relationship inspired me, that's absolutely not the case!

D & Caron are probably the most alike. They even look a bit alike—the spiky 'hair' (the dark skin is actually from Teacher from Girl From the Other Side) and have a similar job, although to D it literally IS just a job and very unlike Caron, it's not one he takes particular pride in. Holly and D's contract is also settled immediately, there's no real question of what the cost will be.

Holly is extremely traumatized and that's something that deeply affects her as a character and all of her actions, whereas Noel has a very strong sense of self and only has a few incidents that seem like PTSD. Holly also doesn't have a revenge motivation (although seriously, girl, you are so entitled to one!!)

Evelyn and Az I don't think have much in common at all—except the exact same height gap (I did not plan this!) Evelyn is motivated by a desire to no longer feel helpless and then, once she's secure in her new self, a desire to understand Az. (This will be difficult but I believe in you, Evelyn!)

Caron is relatively well adjusted despite everything with his past. Az has *Issues* from his past (and let's leave it at that for now, they will be explained!) He is motivated by a deep love for his family, and later Evelyn, although he doesn't let himself recognize it. They do both seem to share a want to show their partners 'a beautiful life,' but the meaning of that is very different!

Not to mention that canonically Noel & Caron grow to deeply care about each other in a way so unique to their intriguing story, but I'm writing straight up romances between adults with adult problems that are nowhere near as action packed and inspired by many other things too LOL

In Short: very different and I hate that people make that assumption so I think they're reading it (unless they already gave up) through that lens. Like y'all, I am hyperfixated but I write fanfic!! I don't need to make shadow versions of OCs (though frankly i do not judge people that do!!)

I'm just rambling because the darn cicadas (or whatever the screeching insects are) are keeping me awake. Let me rest, cursed bugs!!!

#macaron musings

[catboyrichardkarinsky]

alright since one person (@coffeelovinggayidiot) asked for it i will now talk about a group of ocs i will probably never do anything specific with but who i really love and never really talk about

So at the center of the story we have Mike and Sprout. Mike is a 15 year old trans guy who loves music more than anything, is going through a bit of a depressive episode mostly from school and being a bit of a social outcast and is generally not the most pleasant person to be around at the beginning at least. For contrast we have Sprout who's a little elf guy who got transported here from his little town in the middle of some magical forest mysteriously. He is very caring and simple and wholesome and basically the embodiment of a cozy children's book. That's really my best way of describing him. Naturally he drives Mike crazy but they do end up forming a deep bond eventually.

Most of the "story" (aka the part i focus on the least I'm a character centric person) really just focuses on trying to get Sprout home which is hard because he himself doesn't exactly remember how he got here (there was a storm on the day he was transported but he knows that couldn't have been it and his memories are really foggy) I also kind of want to add an additional mystery but I don't know how seriously I want to focus on this story because I prefer it just being a fun thing for myself. I might add it one day.

Anyways my real favorite part is the side characters. We have:

-Dominic (Dom for short), who's Mike's best friend/kind of crush. he's openly gay but Mike still doesn't think he has any chance with him because he's kind of a popular kid while Mike is a loser (evne though they constantly hang out). he's a bit of a himbo, and definitely a dork. He's really kind and makes friends easily. He plays basketball and takes it very seriously. He doesn't believe in cringe culture, he LOVES hallmark christmas movies for some reason. and bad 80s movies. actually 80s everything

-Irene, Mike's childhood friend. She wants to be cool and mysterious but is mostly just the most chaotic person ever. she smokes weed in her room and her mom doesn't realize somehow. she's an absolute troublemaker. her most important characteristic though is that she loves painting and created an oc named Luna who she just thinks of as the moon's human form. who's a beautiful girl. like really beautiful. like really really beautiful. like r- yup she fell in love with her oc. she totally owns it though, so much so her she her online alias is Pygmalia after the greek myth of the sculptor who fell in love with his own sculpture. Yeah she's one of the characters i really had fun creating. she's a lesbian if i didn't make that obvious by now. She does end up having a real human crush too also.

-Kitty, Mike's old classmate and other crush. They're autistic and their special interest is a fictional anime I made up for this story which is basically about a bunch of students who have fruit names for some reaos who go to space and it has about 6 seasons if i remember right and they end up saving the universe with the power of gay. lots of She-ra and Toh vibes. probably voltron too i never watched that one. Kitty's favorite character is Apricot who other than sharing a name with another character I made and also having a suspiciously similar design to said character, starts off as a villain but ends up falling in love with the main character. i ended up just infodumping about this anime. but i feel like that's on brand for an autistic character like if i was a fictional character I would want someone to just end up talking about falsettos instead of describing me. anyways they're generally kind if a scaredy cat and love cute things a lot and have a lot of plushies. but they do have a darker side. They also only watch anime dubbed because they have dyslexia so they can't read subtitles well although they started learning japanese because that's the power of hyperfixating. Oh and they have an oc for said anime.

-Ally, Kitty's and Dom's mutual friend and later Mike's friend through them. She's the mom friend, she has 3 younger siblings so that makes sense honestly. Her parents are divorced, she prefers being at her dad's place who owns an animal hospital near a forest with a lot of foxes. her favorite animals are foxes. along with cats. she has a cat for herself. she also loves ice skating. her ex best friend betrayed her for the popular girls which is a sour topic for her so she doesn't like people bringing it up too much.

-Seth, Irene's best friend and kind of crush. xe's a.. complicated person. xe can be intimidating at first glance with the amount of tattoos and piercings xe has. xe's a tattoo artist actually. not a drug dealer despite what people assume. xe ran away from home nrc of unsupportive parents but xe misses xir little sister and sometimes writes to her. xe has a secret dream of starting a rock band. xe's generally really introverted and doesn't like to talk a lot which adds to xir mysteriousness. oh and xe LOVES snakes a lot. because of xir gender fuckery xe says a lot that anyone of any gender can be attracted to xem but it does make them queer by default.

-and finally Jordan. Jordan is. he's a bully and a jerk and a homophobe. until he realizes he's bisexual. he has a bit of an obsession with comic books specifically one gay superhero book. which he refuses to admit publicly. and of course he starts to crush on Seth around this time. So definitely a complicated character.

that's it this post is way too long.
