Pretty girl, where were you trying to run off to?

God dude these two scenes and how roxie moves hurt my heart so so bad 🥹

it's like a mix of anger, feral, emotional breakdown, and complete sadness that just fucks me up soooo fucking bad.

it's like she's a pet who got abandoned by their owner but they see them again after years of sadness and depression of them being gone and leaving them like that and all that anger and sadness just manifest's into one bundle of emotion's towards them they cannot control.

roxie baby ur gonna be okay u deserve better :[

Disclaimer: All artwork shown below are from a commissioned piece done by my partner @pookieesukiro. They're not very active on Tumblr, but you can find them on Twitter, IG, and TikTok if you want to check out their work. Same handlename. My partner will be doing all the artwork for this story.

Alright, so. I'm not very good at these, but the more you do the better you get at them, yea? It's easier for me to dissect my OCs' origins into personality and visually, as sometimes they're develop as one or the other first. That said, let's dive in. For the sake of keeping this shorter, I'll only talk about the boys, and not about Abel's family.

WIP: Abel's Youth Tale Project [Sometimes mentioned as Abel's YTP for short.]

Abel Rose

Abel is a very complicated and resilient child of mine who, as a adult of 26, was a very dear character from a TTRPG game I played with some friends back in 2021. [You can find more on it over at @haphazardrolls with links to the campaign VODs as well as some pieces I wrote centered around Abel.] The longer the campaign went on, the more complicated and evolved he became, helping me reestablish my love for writing while realizing he was a bit more than just "some college guy who got killed in a dark alley on his way to get some booze". With a TTRPG, you come to realize that sometimes there's only so much you can fit in with character development, and for little Abel I wanted to further expand on the past for him - why he is who he is when Camp Boolieve came about. I wanted to expand on his quirks, and insecurities. And for that, his story just came naturally over the course of a weekend. Growing up in the 90s and early 00s, I pulled some personal bits from my early childhood and teenage years despite Abel pretty much making himself. He is a child of abuse, depression, and suicidal ideology who deals with a little more than just being an openly bisexual teenage boy in a small town band. So it wasn't inherently trauma dumping, per say. Anyway, Abel in present day is still healing, but Abel in the past [this WIP of his origin and for the sake of this writeblr game] shares a lot of struggles teens in LGBTQIA+ spaces today may be going through. And with him I wanted to share how he pushes himself to constantly evolve into a better person while also showing he's still healing and unlearning things. He's still human. A piece of Abel's origin, which I've pulled from myself, is showing the struggles one can face with mental illness - how tough it is to find the strength to continue existing - how exhausting it can be. Even in our darkest days when we want to give up we can still find that strength to get back up on our feet and push forward into tomorrow. Abel's creation for me is a bit personal, but he is my resilience personified in writing, and because of that I want to make sure his story will see the light of day.

Erik

Oh Erik... He's a bit of a silly bastard, but he serves such an important purpose other than just further proving a long running joke that Abel has it down bad for dumb blonde guys. I don't really think there's much of an origin for Erik other than Abel needed someone to ground him, someone who was always going to be there for him, and someone who was his best friend - maybe just a little bit more. :) Erik comes off as a bit of a hardass who only follows his dick at first, but he shows loyalty and patience when its needed most. He's Abel's most trusted person, and a very critical character. Personality wise, his origin was to be that safe person who helps Abel discover who he is and guide him onto the path of who he will become. For the sake of mental health you can attribute him as being Abel's "go to person", and I think that's probably a better way of putting Erik's origin into light. I might not be doing much service in describing his origin for this game, but I'll just leave a note that his development [at least visually] was loosely inspired by popular blondies like Akihiko from Given, Ryuuji from Persona 5, and Asaichi from The Song of Yoru & Asa.

Dominik

Dominik is by far one of my favorite OCs. Not to push my baby boy Abel aside, but every time I write something for Dom [specifically his banter with Abel] I tell myself, "Folks are going to end up loving this morally grey bastard so much. I can feel it in my bones." Hell, even my partner think he's silly. Inspirationally, there's not much of an origin to Dominik's personality other than I needed someone who was a bit of bastard, morally grey, and someone who, as Abel puts it, "is shady as fuck". Dominik is one of those delightful lads who just sometimes break a fourth wall here and there and you just... don't question it. He's the leader to their little group, and is the little shit who always gets them into trouble. Usually. Visually he was inspired by Davey Havok from AFI. Specifically the era between Black Sails in the Sunset and Sing the Sorrow.

Sergio

There is not a whole lot to my beautiful tall boy other than I needed someone who was the residential band dad, and someone with the patience capable of keeping three idiots in line. Writing a group that's chaotic you need someone who is mature [ok that's subjective, but in the case of my WIP it's true], but also Sergio is someone Abel looks up to a lot. In fact, Abel often goes to him for advice. Sergio is the only one who can drive, and he is the voice of reason. His origin was that I needed someone to balance out Dominik's extreme while also having someone to serve as a role model. He's not Abel's "go to person" when mental health issues arise, but in time he will become that person for him. Inspiration for Sergio visually came mostly from Masaru Ōfuna from HaNaYaMaTa and probably to a lesser extent Neil Peart from RUSH.

To wrap this up, my OCs mostly wrote themselves out in banter that developed in my head. I was lucky with this, because normally I struggle to create characters, but everything in regards to Abel's YTP came very organically. And I think part of that was because this developed during a period where I was constantly thinking about nothing but Abel and fleshing him out.

Anyway, if any folks want to take a stab at the Origin Game themselves, have at it. <3 Thanks for reading.

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
