YOUR OCS

Hand them over.

THERE ARE . s o man y .... . here is my oc masterpost except i only realised after i hunted it down that there's like no info for anything . so instead i'll just give a rundown for what each thing is and if any of the synopses intrigue you yr free to ask more ^_^

lobotomy corporation - i think a lot of my active followers know what lobcorp is, but i'll explain it anyways. it's like if you took scp and said "what if it was even MORE fucked up. and stressful." like iirc the game description on steam literally says that it's inspired by scp, cabin in the woods, and warehouse 13 and that is not understating a damn thing . my ocs there are all employees and i think way too hard about puck at all times

tmrwverse - what if the apocalypse was real and also alive? hi. tmrwverse (real name pending) is my original story. completely original? Nnn oo oo . it started off as a danganronpa uni but i'm not into dgr anymore and i wanted to make it its own thing . it's also inspired to a degree by parties are for losers, especially in regards to the way the apocalyptic nightmare entity (known simply as The Calamity) effects the world around it. beyond that idfk what's going on i just know there's necromancy and eldritch gods and half the thing is a weirdcore dreamcore nightmare it's my baby . kuroshi is my everything ever at all

P.A.R.T.S. - what if watch dogs 2 was cyberpunk and dušan was evelyn deavor from the incredibles 2. so yea it's just like this ragtag group of people who are prolific hackers and there's this tech company that has a chokehold over the government and is slowly trying to eliminate all individuality but shirka (evelyn deavor dušan) claims it's all for a good cause and one of my friends called her milfy and i've never been the same. oh also demons are a thing and they are just kinda casually around .

a second chance by way of updog - this one's based on a joke interaction i had with an old friend where they said updog to me and i basically said i'd kill them . Followed by a gif of russell from up ascending w balloons and them saying "me omw to heaven after azazel kills me" and i said "bold of you to assume i'll let you into the afterlife." and so now it's about this dude who's second best at everything named bailey who tells an updog joke to a god named silvanus who happened to be patrolling the street and they immediately strangled him to death and sent him to purgatory and also stripped him of his blue hair which he's ultimately more upset about than the whole being dead thing . but then silvanus gets punished as well for murdering an innocent and then trapping him in purgatory for no good reason and they're stripped of their powers and stuck in purgatory with bailey . then this third dude dies and it's because a dime got dropped on his head from the top of the empire state building, which is actually how bailey was Supposed to die; but because silvanus killed him first, he was ultimately second place to his own murder. and this third dude has been first place in every competition bailey has ever entered (mostly air guitar & ddr) but he is undeveloped. like literally he is a non character. this is intentional. bailey has been losing to what is essentially an unscripted npc. yeah i have a lot to say about this supposed-to-be-a-joke uni.

quando ti ho incontrato / when i met you - i need you to listen to femme fatale by coyote kid and you'll understand my vision . tadeo, main guy, is hopelessly in love with maeva, the classic femme fatale. she's going to ruin his life and he is perfectly content with that. he's a bit like a puppy dog. for some reason this whole story takes place in italy.

the great corpse march to the sea - okay just because i'm not into dgr anymore does not mean i don't like the concept of a killing game. tgcmtts is essentially a fangan except i pretend dgr doesn't exist. all of them have death related careers to some degree Minus cat nemune they are 12 and are not in the death game . one of these guys is a batshit serial killer and has bugs. another is a batshit serial killer but as a doctor. they are in a qpr. there is tragedy to ensue in this game because there are so many people who are family or people in some nature of relationship and it hurts me . this whole story hurts me why do i write the things i do

unlisted, but a practice in being haunted - the most pathetic guy on earth having the worst life of his life after his house becomes infested with ghosts exactly one week after the most traumatic experience he couldever go through so he has not processed it. chaos ensues.

#like if a q and a had a real nervous interviewee #new tag for asks btw hiejodko #I HAVE...A LOT MORE OCS THAN THIS #but i have already typed soooo much i am not subjecting people to More #though i am willing to share at some other time if prompted

Dreamcrush: the coining post of the word and the aesthetic

WARNING: Mentions of dereality

If you've been on my blog for a while, you'll notice that I use a peculiar word: "dreamcrush". But in my one-and-a-half months of using tumblr, I've never defined what it is.

Dreamcrush: A crush that you know can't be reciprocated, due to being fictional, a celebrity, etc.

Though anyone who's fictosexual, fictoromantic etc. can use the term as it encompasses f/os, this term is more broad in mind. Case in point, my current dreamcrush: Jimmy Page. Not only is he a celebrity, but I'm also exclusively crushing on his young self (between the '60s and 1975). Of course, most of my dreamcrushes have been fictional.

The real point of the term comes from my MaDD experience. Most if not all of my dreamcrushes have been paras in my daydreams, in one way or another. I had the term in my mind before I even knew what a "para" was. As such, it came from "a crush, but they only exist in your (day)dreams".

This term isn't exclusive to romantic or sexual attraction, however! Aspec people can use "dreamsquish" or other equivalent terms based off their type of attraction. They can also use the original term if they're comfortable with it.

Recently, I've also thought of an aesthetic for it:

The Aesthetic

I use two tags for this word rn: #dreamcrush for posting about my dreamcrush(es, if there's a shift) and having a dreamcrush, and #dreamcrush-aes for the aesthetic in my mind. I may change it to #dreamcrushcore if it gets more popular, but it'll have the aes tag for now.

Now you'll be wondering: why don't the posts under the #dreamcrush-aes tag match that much with each other? There are hearts and it's romantic, but also weirdcore and unsettling glitches? What do they have to with each other?

I can't really find that many crossover pictures (or i'm not searching hard enough, idk). But I'm trying to cobble together something that resembles the explanation below:

This aesthetic is an offshoot of lovecore, with a focus on unrequited love, fantasy and escapism. The usual aspects of lovecore are still here: hearts, yearning, dates, gestures of love...

There's a heavy influence of MaDD, and its symptoms and effects, be they negative or positive.

The "dream" aspect could be interpreted in any way! I personally use dreamcore as a near synonym for weirdcore (because dreams get really weird at night). However, the "ethereal/dreamy" aesthetic and the more coherent parts of "surreal" dreamcore are the other main influences on the dreamcrush aesthetic.

Hazy filters and low quality/compressed images may feature at times to enhance the "daydream" aspect.

Despite the alluring fantasy, there's still a looming feeling that none of this will ever be real. As such, glitches are common to this aesthetic. They represent the reality calling from afar, how disruptive it may be to a maladaptive daydreamer, and the impossibility of the relationship.

There are usually two types of glitches in this aesthetic: datamoshes to represent repeating or changing daydream scenes, and the more usual neon glitches for the blurring between reality and the paracosm.

The glitches are usually less in-your-face than in glitchcore (and some other weirdcore-adjacent aesthetics) due to the nature of MaDD. This is my interpretation, though.

Music-wise, I think one of the songs that best exemplify this aesthetic is the Sewerslvt remix of Hi High by LOONA. The original song is all about innocent love, with cheesy metaphors. While it had dreamy elements, Jvnko took it up to eleven and into the realm of surreality. It'll definitely be in the dreamcrush themed playlist I'm curating.

Sorry if this got rambly at parts: it's probably me not knowing how to articulate some things (adhd+esl). Regardless, feel free to ask me anything about this aesthetic!

#dreamcrush #lovecore #dreamcore #glitchcore #weirdcore #madd #maladaptive daydreaming #life as a maladaptive daydreamer #(yes i stuck my personal madd tag here)#fictoromantic #fictosexual #self ship #self shipping #definition #tw dereality #unreality tw #long post #minty rambles on
