timeskip Molly concepts - probably when she's around 16-17 ish, maybe even early college? ( I'm not a big fan of the "ooh the bubbly character gets older and is now SUPER SAD" trope so this is more like... Molly is still Molly, she just gets older and faces more hardships/life stressors that come with age, and struggles to maintain the same high level of positivity/resiliency she used to have )

#still a generally happy enthusiastic person but finds more and more that she sometimes has to put on a facade yknow? #has to go soul searching for purpose and meaning in a real genuine way that reinvigorates her #probably something to do with ghost world shenanigans but ~ooh something happens~ and she gets separated from her body somehow #and ollie libby june and darryl have to find help and reconnect w/ andrea and meet alina #and finally ofc hunt down todd and adia and rope them in #todd goes through a ghost portal after much convincing to come retrieve wraith molly and return her detached joyful spirit to her body #and in him becoming scratch again for a short while - to return molly's soul to herself - he of course must return to his own body #and begins to recall some lost memories of his time as a ghost including their friendship #and itslike. a lesson on reaching out and asking for help when you feel yourself slipping away from who you used to be but from molly's POV #and trusting loved ones to know you well enough to put your pieces back together right and make you whole again. or something #the ghost and molly mcgee #tgamm #molly mcgee

Here are my Lethal company Medic/Xenobiologist OCs, Nathaniel and Vultur! Nate is heavily involved in Copycat's story and Vultur is part of @lethalcontracts's retrieval crew. Some additional details of them below (a lot of text!)

The two are foils for each other and have a big rivalry going on given that they are in a similar field and have highly contrasting morals and approaches to their studies. They both have lost a crew in the past and it continues to affect them to this day. They also have their own labs on Gordion and get paid extra for any new data they can provide to the Company.

Nate is very gentle at heart despite his blunt and strict nature. While visiting the dangerous moons, he makes sure everything goes as planned and if there are signs of unexpected danger-- he will not hesitate to cancel the mission if it means the crew goes back home alive. Will teleport you back to the ship, just in case, a little too early, because it's better to be safe than sorry.

Although he has a lot of worry and compassion for others, he often remains calm in dangerous situations for the sake of others. He always has a sharp eye on the monitor and all of his team members and after losing his crew once, nobody has been left behind. Even if it means he will have to go inside to get them back himself. You can always rely on him to keep the team safe, whether it's practically by making sure everyone is out of the building in one piece or listening and soothing them after a scary situation.

He uses mainly stun grenades and always has a walkie-talkie with him. It is very important to him to be able to communicate with his team, and he wants to avoid causing harm to the creatures unless it's a life-or-death situation. "Stun and run", as he would say is better than risking your life in a fight.

Nathaniel is taking care of Copycat and although he claims he is just an assistant to him, he does care about the masked deeply. CC lets him study his body and brings him data on the creatures he encounters and in exchange, Nate has learned to pause his body's decaying process indefinitely. He also makes sure his colleagues don't get their hands on him and that the eager creature doesn't end up on missions that are too dangerous for him. They often swap places in their usual team depending on the danger level of the Moons. While CC is on the ship, Nate resides in his laboratory on Gordion and when it's his time to step in, CC returns to visit his creature friends on Rend.

Not everything is all sunshine and rainbows though, as Nate has been infected by an unknown creature for quite some time now. While he has managed to stabilize his condition in a way that the infection doesn't spread, it's not yet fully removed. He is trying to find out what caused it and how to cure it, if possible. This is kept a secret from everyone else, of course as he doesn't want to add more burdens on their shoulders. As a more lighthearted fact, he adores cute things. Especially cats. Which is partially the reason CC was named the way he is.

Vultur. Oh Vultur. Where Nate is full of gentle warmth he wants to share with others, this guy is a black hole that will only stare back at you coldly in your times of grief. After the loss of his team, he completely closed off emotionally. They hesitated once after that, and that caused him to lose half of his face to a Bracken, leaving scars that will forever remind them of their mistake. One they will not repeat ever again. He views feelings, especially during dire situations to be a distraction that must be dulled down. Something that shouldn't affect your decisions. It never leads to good things and he very much has personal experience of that.

After seeing his team convert because they couldn't kill their friend on time, he now seeks to know anything he can about the creatures of those snowy moons. Vultur will do anything they can to get that information. Whether it's locking masked into the ship and experimenting on them, or dragging them all the way back to Gordion to his laboratory-- nothing is off limits for them. They feel no remorse for what they do, as they still despise the maskeds who took his team from them. While he sees them as resources and more valuable alive, they won't hesitate to kill them on sight if they pose a danger to themselves or their team.

Most often Vultur uses a tranquilizer gun along with stun grenades to take down any Masked that wander in the ship. If he sees no value in them or there is the above mentioned danger, he will rip out the mask from their face and save it for later use. He is not above using regular shells either, so you will never truly know whether you're getting shot with a sedative or a life-ending bullet.

Just like Nate, Vultur remains calm in situations where many would otherwise stumble. Despite their cold nature, they do take good care of their crew and take pride in their work. No injuries go unnoticed and their team will be kept in top condition. Though they might think it's because untreated injuries pose a threat to the whole group and slow them down, there is still a heart deep down his chest. He doesn't want to lose another crew and while they aren't able to admit it to themselves, they do care. A lot more than they're comfortable with admitting.

#lethal company #lethal company oc #kisudraws #ocstuff #these are super messy but had to get them out of my system finally! #my guys!! my medics!! handing them out to you!! #nate is super important to copycat's lore so I'm happy to finally share deets of him! #vultur just kind of happened to be born because of the retrieval crew idea but I think they fit in the story wonderfully! #also who am I to say no to designing an unhinged doctor that would sell your soul for a corn chip

#sovo art #sigh. yes. i was listening to 'even in death' again #xan falling in battle and radri falling devastated to her knees beside him #and then finally ready to leave and dully giving the order to retrieve his equipment bc they still need to march on #and someone reaches for the moonblade--and she cries out angry/distressed for them not to touch ''*him*''...... #she knows the blade is dormant now until its next wielder. but his soul is still inside it. and sometimes she thinks she can still--

Castlevania Dracula’s Curse and I have a love hate relationship; I love it and it hates me (I am stuck on a level it is so so hard) . But yeah :3, the gang, the group, the travel companions.

Explanations and text under a cut as per usual:

Grant my bestie he is so cool and fun to draw, I love combining elements of his designs. I also think the fun little ponytail and a little stubble looks nice on him. Just a little side profile study :3

Trevor before the eye scar whoah no way :O! I love drawing him smiling, he radiates pure trustworthiness. His CV3 outfit also looks very comfy ngl, especially the cape—

Another Grant, this time in 3/4 view. :D

Full body Grant doodle >:D. The Grants are taking over oh no— Did you know the cool looking knife he has in a couple promotional artworks is an actual specific type of knife? I looked it up and the closest match is a Polish bandit knife, which is a type of knife that has a lot of variation in shape but always has a distinct curve downward towards the end, it’s pretty cool!

Chibi Grant :3

Sypha got rizz lol—

Some of the only Alucard doodles on this page alas, there wasn’t anymore room for more of him (T_T ). I like depicting him with shorter hair in CV3, it mixes his CV3 and SotN designs really nicely. I also think it’s funny making his outfit kinda Kid Dracula inspired lol. I’m pretty sure there is one CV3 concept art that has some similar elements augh it’s been a while since I’ve looked up CV3 Alucard arts. There’s also one Sypha doodle here too :3.

The next two are based on a couple like draw your ship memes I ran into, the second is specifically based off of that one “hot yaoi base” lmaoooooo. Anyway, I love Sypha she’s so cool. I need to draw her more often, I have too many design ideas aaaaa—

The text says “mercenary, knight, priest, outlander”, but I spelled mercenary wrong alas. Shout out to you if you know what that’s a reference to hehehehehe >:3c

Alright, goodnight guys, hope y’all appreciate ( ^3^) <3

i am a kaoru girl because im in my twenties and ive learned and grown and every day i watch another episode of oniisama e i thank god that i wasnt watching this when i was 15 but i like get it. with rei i get it. like i understand what rei asaka did to you guys. head in my fucking hands she LIKES playing basketball she LIKES hanging out with kaoru so much that they have so little screen time together. like if rei spends more time with someone who actually makes her feel like a person then WHO is gonna be the manifestation of unhealthy and sick devotion as love????????

#im like yeah kaoru is my fave character and my brain is like well then why are you spending all your time thinking about rei #idk though i watched utena was i was 16 but i fr do not think i could have handled oniisama e at the same age. i was going through enough #rei and kaoru fr have so little screen time together but every second of it is soooo. best friends who are soul mates but dont hang out? #no like. yes girl yaoi jokes but they literally have what two guy leads in a shounen have. kaoru would mount a rei retrieval arc. #kaoru orihara #rei asaka

I often have to remind myself that the way i think the hero's spirit is like an avocado isn't canon

#they have like soul slime so when the hero's spirit is retrieve the individual Link soul has like hero's spirit soul slime in it #and the hero's spirit has individual Link soul slime on it #so when Link reincarnates he has progressively more soul slime in him #which assists in letting Links be children who can pick up a sword and fight #it's the soul slime #botw Link has so much soul slime in him and that's why he could beat grown men at 4 #I also believe every single Link has an anxiety disorder #I call it the hero's anxiety disorder cause i'm the king of naming things #the dsm entry is just when an anxiety disorder is in a Link the symptoms don't have to match

are u planning to do anything with charlotte? the ghost hotel girl?

or minty?

i actually did have an idea for a short comic about them, but i really forgot about it until around a few months ago when i drew up a few potential redesigns for both of them. they're really still up in the air - i might end up selling them as adopts, but i do actually want to do something with them!

(also, here are the redesign sketches from around may-ish? i might end up finishing these designs when i'm in the mood to draw more halloweeny stuff, though they'll probably look a lot different as my artstyle + chara design work has improved)

(the minty pic is also for an unfinished ref sheet!)

#ask zeno #zeno's art #charlotte cardamon cinnamon #minty #(just giving them their own tags for when/if i do expand on their universe) #one thing is i feel like a lot of my oc universes/stories are very similar in plot with the exclusion of ultimate excalibur #i feel like its always a girl and her friend going on a little adventure often in a single location to retrieve the girl's lost memories 😭 #beryl's story falls into this as does reassassination to an extent and when i was first writing it out so did charlotte's story #so if i decide i want to do something with them expect a full rewrite #(for context originally charlotte's story was about her starting the hotel to save a specific amount of lost souls #so that she herself could rest. not exactly regaining memories but i think the tropes i follow the most are memory loss #and having to do tasks to get to something. read about the herculean tasks once as a kid and never recovered

@ellionwrites

I just had the MOST diabolical thought for an Itafushi AU that immediately made me cry thinking about it.

Despite everything I need to do today AND all the other unfinished fics I have, I wanna drop it all to write this.

If this post gets even 1 note I'm doing it

#ellion I'm counting on you to enable me here #i won't write it for myself #but if even a single person expresses interest I can do it #i know how to trick my brain into doing things #i don't so much hold myself accountable as I pretend others are holding me accountable for imaginary things #healthy? no. effective? yes. #it's why Summer of Blue both is and is not being working on sporadically #anyways think about it: Orpheus and Eurydice Itafushi AU #Yuuji has to retrieve Megumi's soul #cry with me about it #itafushi #yuji itadori #megumi fushiguro

Someone claiming to have been formally trained in soul retrieval told me I lost a part of my soul and that's why I'm depressed. I looked up soul retrieval and the first result was something to gaia.com. I'm scared and confused... please help?

Okay, keep in mind that I do not know very much about this, but AFAIK, the notion that parts of your soul can get lost in the spirit world and a spirit worker has to go and fetch them comes from certain Indigenous beliefs (I do not know which right now, because again, I do not know much about this).

It looks like what's happened here is that the New Agers have found another Indigenous practice to appropriate and market to the masses. If somebody "formally trained in soul retrieval" is telling you that your depression is caused by soul loss, you can be pretty sure that they're looking at you with dollar signs in their eyes. Like if you want to take a spiritual approach to managing your depression (preferably in addition to professional care, if that's possible for you), that's fine, but literally any time you find a spiritual "expert" claiming they know what's cause your problems and it just so happens to be the thing they're an expert in, you should be really wary. At best they probably don't actually know what they're talking about; at worst, it's an outright scam.

the thing about palamedes is that this guy is gonna have a plan b and c and d. and he will always have to go for worst case scenario batshit crazy back-up plan e because such is his luck BUT on the flip side it will always work perfectly. swings and roundabouts

#worst case scenario i die i fix my soul to my bones so cam can retrieve it #worst case scenario cam dies we fuse into an unholy soul melange. and we name them paul #palamedes sextus #the locked tomb
