#Danica oc

[lovelyjasmari]

So last night I managed to finish 2 more chapters of Fairest After All. Only one more to go and I can finally do this chapter dump that’s been more than a year in the making.

But toward the end of one chapter, I was having a lot of deja vu because I was reminded of a story I wrote for Dani back when she was a full oc in her own universe. Her bf in her that universe is also a morally ambiguous anti hero. 😭

It’s funny tho, after drawing this I had absolutely no intention of ever drawing her again but cut to a year or so later, here we are. And it’s interesting seeing how much my art has changed. Even though I’m still not proud of where I am, it’s nice seeing that I have in fact improved. ❤️

OCtober 2020 ~ Day 1 (First OC)

Her name is Danica and I created her back in 2005, originally a Winx OC that was developed into her own original universe. I’ll probably never return to writing her story but it was fun to draw her again since I haven’t since 2011.

3.23 Making an Impression

Part 1 of 2

It’s the day of my hike with Lucy and Lacey. I somehow manage to convince a few other coworkers to come with us even though a lot of us aren’t particularly athletic. Robi, Clara, Quinn, and Lilly are joining us and I’m feeling pretty good about my plan to help Lucy make friends.

While we’re waiting for Lucy and her brother to show up, Lilly shows off her hiking fit. She always has the craziest outfits and they’re usually themed, which is fun.

Today she’s wearing a fishing hat with fabric fish attached to the brim. As Lilly poses for us, Lacey swats at them and they swirl around each other like they’re in a chase. “What’s with the fishing hat?” Lacey asks her.

Lilly starts untangling the fish. “It’s the most outdoorsy thing I own,” she explains. “I thought it really completed the outfit.”

“I think it’s cute,” Clara tells her. “No one said you had to be practical.”

“I don’t think Lilly could be practical if she tried,” Robi laughs.

“I’ll take that as a compliment!”

“I meant it as one!”

“I think that’s Lucy,” Quinn says, looking toward the entrance to the trails. She abruptly slaps herself on the neck, which makes all of us stare at her in confusion. “Mosquito,” she explains, her face flushing red. “They always eat me up.”

Lucy and her crew approach us. A guy I assume is her brother is with her; he looks like the stereotypical Tartosan with his jet black hair and I can see a family resemblance. There's another girl with them, which is great because if there's one thing this trip is lacking, it's female energy.

Lucy introduces them as her brother Paul and his best friend Danica.

Once the introductions are done, we all start making our way up the hiking trail.

“What do you two do?” Clara asks Paul and Danica.

“We’re both students at Foxbury,” Danica answers. “We’re in undergrad now, but I want to be a Psychologist and Paul’s going to be a doctor.”

“Wow, that’s really cool!” Clara replies.

“What kind of doctor do you want to be, Paul?” inquires Lacey.

“I’m not sure yet,” Paul admits. “I want to wait until I’ve done a few clinical rotations in med school before I settle on anything.”

“That’s really wise,” Lilly says, sounding impressed.

All of the girls make their way towards Paul as soon as they hear the word "doctor." They start talking to him about his bright future.

Wow, Paul, it’s so cool that you got a full ride scholarship!

You must be really smart!

I love when guys have a strong work ethic!

I hate to admit that I start feeling a bit irritated. A few weeks ago they all gushed over me when they saw my drawing, but now it doesn’t seem as impressive.

We come to a cliff that Lucy informs us is a popular climbing spot. “If you feel confident in your climbing skills you can go up this way. Otherwise the trail takes you to the top,” she explains.

“I think I’ll climb up,” Paul says confidently. The girls look at him in admiration. I can practically see the hearts forming in their eyes.

I don’t know what possesses me to do it, but I blurt out, “Yeah, me, too.”

As soon as we begin to scale the rocks, I realize I made a big mistake. Why would I think climbing was a good idea? I don’t have any experience and Paul is clearly in better shape. Of course, he reaches the top of the wall with no problem and I’m left struggling halfway up. All I can think about is how badly I need a cigarette.

“Johnny, do you want to just climb back down?” Lacey calls up, with more concern in her voice than I feel comfortable acknowledging.

“No, I’m good,” I lie. It takes what seems like forever for me to get near the top. Every passing second just fills me with more embarrassment.

As I approach the top of the cliff, I see Paul crouch down at the edge and reach his hand out. “Need some help?” he offers.

No, nope, not going to happen! I scream internally, but then I start to lose my footing. Faced with the possibility of this horrible moment being my last one on earth and forever cementing me in everyone's memories as The Dumbass Who Fell Off a Mountain Trying to Impress Girls, I see no better option than to take Paul’s hand. I feel defeated, but at least I still have the rest of my life ahead of me to try and save face.

“I have a lot of climbing experience,” Paul tells me once I’m secure at the top of the cliff.

“No problem, I was just trying to be funny.” Liar! Now that the moment is over and done with, I realize I’m more embarrassed by trying to engage in some sort of macho competition for the girls’ attention than I am in my lack of skill. It’s not the sort of thing I usually do.

“Oh, okay,” Paul responds. He doesn’t sound convinced but at least he doesn’t call me out.

“Are you okay?” Lacey asks me once we catch up with the others.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” I tell her. Just a bruised ego is all.

“We’re almost to the top!” Lucy exclaims. We round the corner and Lucy guides us to the edge. “Be careful,” she warns, and I ignore that she’s looking right at me when she says it.

Cautiously, I peek down over the edge. I’m surprised at how much of the city I can see. It doesn’t seem like we went that high up, but laid out below us are hundreds of buildings and trees that seem surreal in their tininess. “Cool,” is all I can manage to say.

“I can see the studio!” Lilly points below, and the rest of us look excitedly at the building we spend 5 days a week in. It’s funny how something we see everyday seems so much more impressive when it’s viewed it from a different angle.

“There’s where the food truck parks!” Clara shouts and we all turn our heads like we’ve discovered a hidden treasure.

“Great, now I want tacos,” I joke, and I feel the embrace of laughter surrounding me. Maybe the day won’t be a total waste.

Day 1 of @fluff-cember

Prompt: Roasted Marshmallows

Pairing: Danica Frost [OC] x Cooper Howard

Fandom: Fallout

Word Count: 896

After a long day of trudging through the desert, the blistering Sonoran sun finally descended towards the horizon, the desert beginning to cool off--though it wouldn’t be long before it fell to freezing, or at least what felt like it. There weren’t any proper nearby ruins to camp in, so anything they’d do would be a little risky. But there were a few bits of debris sticking out of the sand beside where they walked. Deciding for both of them that they’d make camp in that exact spot, Cooper stopped walking, slinging his pack off his shoulder and onto the dry ground. Danica looked over her shoulder, not having realized he’d stopped. Giving him a mildly annoyed look, she walked the short distance back to him.

“You could’ve said we were stopping.” She reminded him, setting her bag down and crouching to rummage through it. He only grunted in reply, dragging the heel of his boot across the ground to mark where he wanted the fire. He examined the debris, somewhat pleased it was wood, even more so that it wasn’t pine. It’d do for tonight. He wrenched what seemed to be table legs out, breaking them into smaller pieces and setting them on the marker. Danica pulled her knife, cutting dry brush to make kindling. He tossed her his lighter, and she made the fire. He sat down with a quiet groan, eager to get off his feet. Danica retrieved a flask from her bag, offering it to Cooper, who took it with a nod.

“You got ‘nymore of them prickly pears?” He asked.

“Yeah, if you don’t want to save ‘em for later.” She tossed the woven bag to him. “Can’t remember the last time my bag’s been this full.” She muttered. They had found a relatively stocked Super-Duper-Mart that day, but it wasn’t safe to stay there. The shelves had things she’d never seen before, but it felt like they’d been watched the entire time they were in there. She started taking things out and placing them between the two. Her box of various Mojave forage, the couple of boxes they picked up on the way to where they were now. They each added a few things out of some twisted nostalgia, like the Cheezy Poofs, or the Sugar Bombs. But Danica had picked up something she’d never seen before: a bag with small white cylinders inside. Cooper looked over to her, curious.

“What’s all that?”

“I dunno. I found them in the store.” She held them up. “Think they’re still good? I mean, they’re sealed.” He looked at them before chuckling.

“Those? They won’t rot, but I dunno if they’re good.”

“What are they?”

“Camp Shmallows. The fuckers who made Sugar Bombs sold ‘em.” He cringed at the brand name. “They’re marshmallows. Used to put ‘em in hot chocolate.” He clenched his jaw at the thought, a bitterness that he tried to bite back.

“Where’d the ‘camp�� come from?” Danica asked, opening the bag and taking one out. She marveled at the slight give to them, the squish.

“Folks used to roast ‘em over fires when they went out campin’.”

“What, like when people lived in houses and lived like us sometimes for fun?” She asked, a glare crossing her features, but it wasn’t towards him. Never was.

“Yeah.” He sneered, understanding her reaction. “C’mere.” He motioned for her, mostly to hand over the bag. He took his knife out and cut a thin stick in half, burning the ends of them to clean them. She moved over to his side, handing him the bag. He took two marshmallows out, spearing them on the sticks, handing one to her. He motioned for her to copy him, holding the marshmallow above the fire. She tentatively followed suit. “I doubt they’d be fit to eat if we didn’t do this, considerin’ how old they are, y’know?” It was a half-joke, stated flatly. But Danica chuckled. Cooper could never tell if she found him funny, or was just…humoring him. He wasn’t sure if he cared, either way. The marshmallows crisped up into that elusive golden brown, and he removed the stick from the heat. He pulled the coating off, eating it. She did the same, her eyes widening slightly.

“This…is really good. A bit too sweet, but good.” She put the stick back over the fire to toast the next layer. She was used to fruit being the ‘sweetest’ she’d have, but this was a lot. “You want me to go back to looking for a radio station?” Danica asked with a smile, pulling the radio she had attached to a leather strap from over her shoulder. He groaned, clenching his jaw.

“If you turn that fuckin’ thing back on and I hear that goddamn fiddle, or any fuckin’ static, I’ll break it.”

“Fine, fine. Fuckin’ fine. Be that way.” She chuckled with a shrug, focusing back on the fire. He relaxed after a moment and looked over to her, seeing how the firelight danced across her skin, over her red hair--but quickly looked away, focusing on his own marshmallow stick. She glanced over to him, and smiled slightly. There weren’t many moments of contentment they were able to claim for themselves, but roasting these sugar cylinders over their fire felt something resembling it. They could get used to this--not that they could afford to.

Hey Mooties

would any of my mooties wanna ship a fankid of yours with Danica- I'm bored and wanna make characters hold hands and play in the sun 🥺

Danica prefers crazy lunatics and/or knights in shining armor. She likes long walks under the starlight and being a pretty princess, she's been waiting all her life for a bachelor to sweep her off her feet.

(she's related to Amy, Blaze, and Silver)

3.34 Excuses, Excuses

It’s starting to warm up around the time we go camping, although it never gets that cold in San Sequoia in the first place. Seeing Lexie in her hiking gear reminds me of our trip to Granite Falls, which I guess was about a year ago. It’s a bit of a sad memory; after all, that was the beginning of the end for us. But now she seems carefree and happy, no longer burdened with the weight of living a life she wasn't meant for. I have a feeling camping together will go a lot better now that we’re just friends.

Another bonus for this trip is that Lucy, Paul, and Danica are much more experienced with outdoorsy stuff so no one is struggling with things like putting their tents together. Lacey, Lilly, Lexie, and I are more than happy to sit back while the three of them get to work.

Once everything is set up, we start walking around, eager to take in the fresh air and sunshine. As we walk Lexie comes up beside me.

"Kind of weird going camping together again, huh?" She asks.

I laugh awkwardly. "Yeah, it is."

"I promise I won't be too grumpy this time."

"Good, I'd hate to have to feed you to the bears."

Lexie laughs and smacks my arm. "Better not!" We come to a clearing at the end of the trail and decide to take a rest. Lexie and I sit slightly away from the others. "So, what's the deal with you and Lacey?"

"What do you mean?" I respond, knowing full well what she means. Like a lot of people, she's picked up on how much time Lacey and I spend together at work.

"Well, do you like her? Are you just friends? Somewhere in between?"

"Somewhere in between, I guess. I mean, I haven't really been dating since..." I trial off, but we both know how the sentence ends. I haven't really been dating since you broke my heart. The uncomfortable truth.

"I get that, I really do, but I don't want to be the reason you're not putting yourself out there." Her brow furrows and she bites her lip.

"Hey, you're not the reason," I assure her. "It's me. But I've been working on it, and I feel more ready to date now."

"Then why not ask her out?"

"Well for one thing," I pause, looking in Paul's direction. "I don't think I'm the only one interested in her."

"Oh, Lucy's brother? So what? She's either interested in you or she's not. Why give him the chance to be the first one to ask her out?"

Lexie has a point, I'll admit. Maybe I'm just making excuses again. "I'll think about it," I tell her.
