"Des! Des!"

"What, Ferox? I'm studying Sid's speech issues to pinpoint her weaknesses. They're getting worse, she's stuttering and losing words far more often. It's delightful."

"I got an upgrade! Turn around and look!"

"Upgrade? Sid hasn't even mentioned us in years, how did you get- GOOF FUCKING LORD, FEROX-"

"Isn't it cool?!"

"You look like a walking rotting corpse!"

"A fresh one! Look, hahaha, so much blooood pouring out of my skull!"

"I- guh- I see that. Oh god, your arm skin looks like tassels."

"And you can see my teeth where my cheek used to be, hahahaha!"

"So Sid is uh- oh I can't look at you, guh- Sid is spiraling, then?"

"Nope! Checked with Jessa and Sid is feeling better than usual, just nostalgic!"

"Nostalgic."

"She's listening to songs people used to make Dark YouTuber edits to!"

"Ah."

"I made out with Jimmy Casket!"

"Eugh! Everything about you is disgusting right now! Go away and come back when you're less... mangled!"

"Hahahaha, HAHAHAHA! Oh, Des, I never wanna be less bloodied and broken ever again! I'm the most cathartic thing in the world! I'm going to rip my own head off and go bowling with it!"

"Won't that be hard with the um... missing chunk?"

"I'll make do! Bye-bye, Des!"

"Bye- oh god, the back of her head- oh, I'm going to throw up-"

[victory-cookies]

@obsidiancreates so, uh, my face is burning up I think Des may be coming for me, oh boy...

Me: I wanna make a real cosplay of Des.

Me: *looks up red-orange ombre wigs*

*wigs are like $60 AT CHEAPEST AND SO COMPLICATED TO CARE FOR???*

Me: Hmm maybe nevermind

[obsidiancreates]

"I CAN CONTROL HER AGAIN!" Jessa scrabbles wildly at the rock, trying to pull away from Des and Ferox. "SHE'S MINE I CAN GET HER BACK LET ME GO!"

"YOU'RE NOT THINKING CLEARLY!" Ferox pulls on her legs again.

"I'M IRRATIONALITY INCARNATE, THAT'S MY JOB!"

"I'M NOT LETTING YOU DRIVE SID TO AN EATING DISORDER OR SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

"SHE HAD A BREAKDOWN, IT'S MY CHANCE!" Jessa cackles. "I HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE THIS IN MONTHS! MAYBE A YEAR!"

"THAT'S A GOOD THING! SHE WAS DOING REALLY WELL! I WANT HER HAPPY!"

"YOU WANT HER UNHINGED! I CAN HELP WITH THAT!"

"YOU- you could?"

"Ferox!" Des snaps. "She wants Sid to kill herself, remember?! I get to kill Sid, she doesn't get to do herself in!"

"Right. Right, FRICK YOU JESSA!" Ferox pulls out a sword, and drives it through Jessa's leg. Jessa screams, the sword going straight through and deep into the ground. "NO GETTING AWAY NOW!"

Jess laugh/sobs. "She had an episode! I COULD HAVE GOTTEN TO HER! She's been doing so good since she got the fucking significant other and the fucking snuggly kittens! She's been doing GREAT and hasn't self-harmed in months and I WAS ALMOST ABLE TO END THAT!"

"Not this time," Des pants. "Whether we like it or not, Jessa, she's growing as a person. She had one episode, and it didn't ruin her like it used to. She's not slipping into an eating disorder, and she's not slipping into a depressive episode. And you are not in charge of her brain anymore."

"I'll always be in charge!" Jessa smacks her head against the ground over and over. "I'LL ALWAYS BE IN CHARGE! I'LL ALWAYS BE IN CHARGE TO MAKE HER HATE AND HURT AND FEEL WORTHLESS AND UNLOVED!"

"You'll have your moments, I'm sure," Des scoffs. "Sid even knows it. But you're not going to bring her to the brink anymore."

"She has too much to live for now beyond just YouTube and books," Ferox says with a grin. "She has a real social circle, and more clarity on her identity. Speaking of, is 'she'-"

"Yes, I believe she's feeling very 'she' right now."

"Great! Anyway, Jessa, you need to chill."

Jessa rolls on the ground, laughing and digging at her own arms with her nails. "Never! Until she gets some therapy and her own place, I own her!"

"Well apparently she didn't get that memo," Des snarks. She flips her hair over her shoulder and walks away.

Ferox kneels next to Jessa and pats her head. "Think of it like this: the longer she lives, the more little things you can have her do! Like eating real-dairy ice cream!"

Ferox gives one last smile and walks away.

"... She's gonna stay up way too late before work," Jessa snarls. She looks at the sword still pinning her to the ground. "... Fuck."

My OCs as The Random Auto-Generated Chat That Was Here When I Opened the Chat Post Option

Ferox, putting on sunglasses and walking away from chaos she created: That's the way the cookie crumbles.

Des, scowling in the background: It falls on me to reassemble the cookie.

[obsidiancreates]

“Why am I better than everyone?” with whoever?

“Look at this!”

Des shoves the phone in Jessa’s face. Jessa takes it, raises an eyebrow. 

Ferox peers over Jessa’s shoulder. “Sid’s account!”

“And it’s barren,” Des says with delight. “Not a single OC work in months. Surely those bastards are long faded by now.”

Ferox disappears, and then reappears in a cloud of grape-scented smoke. “Nope! Still there!”

She turns around and points at an arrow lodged into her back. “See?”

Des’s smile falls. “Really? Not even an engraved arrow? Just generic?”

“Completely classless,” Jessa says, flashing a sarcastic smile. “Not everyone has your taste, Lav.”

Des scowls at the nickname, and plops onto her throne. “Why am I better than everyone? All I ask for is a little flare-”

A plume of smoke and fire burst up behind her.

“-and some pizzazz-”

A bubble of lava bursts, sending red-hot shards of rock everywhere. 

“-from my opponents, and I can’t even get that. Sid is really running on empty, isn’t she?”

“That RP is still going strong,” Jessa observes. “Ooooh, this part has someone getting emotionally distressed.”

“Well obviously it would, that’s all she knows how to write these days,” Des snaps. “Ugh, I miss the days when I could strike fear into the hearts of her fans...”

“Before she abandoned you?” Ferox adds.

Des grits her teeth. “Harsh, yet true.”

“Look on the bright side,” Jessa says. “At least she’s paying some attention to you now.”

“What?” Des looks up. “Is she-”

Ferox does too. “Oh! I see the laptop screen! HI SID!”

Des stands up. “You pathetic, inspiration-less, snooping writer, if you do not  appear to fight me right now I shall- no, don’t you dare, I know that look, don’t cut me o-”

[obsidiancreates]

That, plus a little like... IDK, Des being sassy and rude? XD

[obsidiancreates]

Guys my recording app is back up again and I’m in the mood for OC stuff so like, send things for LavaDestroys to say and I’ll say them in her voice!

(For those unfamilar, LavaDestroys AKA Des, is an Ego OC who’s basically an evil me who hates me.)

So Naomi is Leilani’s girlfriend (who I may or not have forgotten I’d made until I found the piece again...), and then Serissa, Grant, Glade, Paisley, Kruff, and Karma are from a thing I started writing when I was 12 right after I read the actual The Hunger Games.

I Did... Picrews Of My OCs

And here is the link to the one I used: https://picrew.me/image_maker/94097

I realized while making him that Carter would absolutely wear big fancy hoop earrings and look at how well he pulls them off. Sadly I couldn’t find a curly hairstyle the right length but ah well!

:D Ashlyn is... bean...

Closest horn and hair options they had! I think it looks pretty cool! And of course, flowers.

Look at Haley. Look at this precious bean They did have a gold pendant option, which would fit canon more accurately, but... the heart was so cute...

I’m least happy with Malum here but ah well!

I realized towards the end that Des is just... a hot version of me, in more ways than one. I literally went “Oh no, she’s hot,” as I was making this.The only lipstick option was black, but you know what, it fits.

Ferox! Because of course she would wear that headband. Of course she would.

Okay so I was like “Oh I’ll try to make Jessa,” but like, this is NOT how I usually imagine her. But I ended up just going batshit and like, this happened, and I actually love it lol. I might rethink her character design to be more like this tbh.

[obsidiancreates]

I played with makeup earlier and accidentally did a killer Des style look so tomorrow I’m gonna try and really go for it and make it even more Des-like.

[obsidiancreates]

Des washes her face with lava.

She doesn’t need to. She has perfect skin because she’s an opposite me and I have plenty of acne and breakouts. But she does it for the drama. She does it just to say she does. 

“Wow, your skin looks amazing! What’s your skincare routine?”

“I scrub my face with burning hot lava every morning.”

[obsidiancreates]

(I don’t know, I’m sleep deprived and wanted to write this. Also my usual Zalgo Generator site is down and may never be back up again and I am angry. No fucking Zalgo for Anti this time. That bitch has to settle for normal text like everyone else.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dark blinked. He looked down at where his desk had been, just a second ago. Now there was nothing. 

“Wilford?” he called out.

“Nope.”

Dark looked around for the owner of the glitchy, unpleasant voice.

“Up here.”

He looked up. Anti was floating above him, looking miserable. “I can’t fucking get down.”

“Hmm. Good.”

Anti growled. He glitched down to the ground, but he began floating again immediately. “Why the fuck isn’t this happening to you?!” he screeched.

“Because that wouldn’t be funny!”

Anti screeched again and glitched away from the young girl who had suddenly appeared behind him. The girl grinned. “See? Dark wouldn’t have screamed like that!”

“This is what you dragged me here for?” another girl said, walking into view. She crossed her arms and looked down at Dark. “Hmph Where’s the proper villain?”

“Couldn’t find him,” the first girl said. She was watching Anti try to get to the ground with very little success. “He’s good at hiding!”

Dark scowled at this... oddly tall teenage girl. Oh, surely she was wearing heels.

He looked down.

How the hell was she even balancing? Her heels were six inches, maybe even taller, and so thin that it was a wonder they hadn’t snapped.

“Who, exactly, are you?” he asked, looking up at her face again.

The girl glared at him.“Taller than you.”

“Only because of those ridiculous boots.”

“Ridiculous? It’s called fashion, dear. You’re one to talk, with those-” she looked him up and down, “-tacky little suits.”

“Tacky?” Dark raised an eyebrow. “The only ‘tacky’ thing I see is your makeup.”

“Oh, yes, please give me makeup advice, I’d love to know how you got that eyeliner look. I thought that was only achievable if you did it without a mirror during an earthquake.”

“Hey, can you two stop your dick measuring contest and HELP ME DOWN?!” Anti screamed from a few feet above.

The girl with the boots rolled her eyes. “Ferox, is this why you brought us here?”

“No!” the first girl, Ferox, crossed her arms. “I also wanted to meet the competition!”

“Now Ferox, as much as I do believe that we could easily take them on in a fight-”

Dark laughed. The girl in the boots glared at him.

“-we’re certainly in no position in terms of popularity to be considered contenders for their thrones.”

“I think we could be someday!” Ferox summoned a handful of darts and began chucking them at Anti.

“I’ll have killed Sid before then, it would hardly matter.” 

“Hey! You promised no killing, Des!”

Des sighed. “Yes, of course. Old habits.” She waited for Ferox to look away, and then looked back at Dark. “I’m lying,” she whispered, “I’m going to try and kill Sid again tomorrow, in fact.”

“Who the hell is Sid?”

“Oh, I forgot. You’re easily confused, I apologize little Damien.”

Dark’s shell cracked. “How dare-”

“Oh, spare me the temper tantrum.” Des put her hand over Dark’s mouth. Her skin was burning hot. Dark jerked away, indignant. “Sid may find those entertaining, but I’ve no time for you.”

“Who is Sid? Who are you? What is going on here?!” Dark demanded.

“Sid is my mortal enemy, I am better than her and you, and my friend here was bored so she kidnapped you. There, I’ve already been more helpful to you than anyone else has ever been.” Des pat him on the head. “Now, if you’ll excuse us, I’m going back home. Ferox, come with me.”

“But I haven’t hit Anti’s skull yet!”

“I’M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THIS!” Anti threw his knife at Ferox, but she had much better control over her floating than the glitch and was able to dodge.

“Fine. Just send them back when you’re done.”

Des disappeared, leaving behind the smell of smoke and vog.

Dark turned to the remaining girl. “Must I be here for this?”

“Yes!” Ferox handed him some darts. “Here, let’s make it a game!”

“Don’t you fuckin’ dare,” Anti growled.

Dark looked at the darts. He looked back at Anti, aimed, and threw. 

It went right into Anti’s neck wound.

Anti screeched, more out of rage than pain. 

Ferox clapped. “Good shot!”

Something Old, Something New

(Des meets my old evil version of me from when I was 13. I wrote it like how I pictured the inside of my brain looking back then too. So, weird. Weird and edgy.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Des looked around the space. “Now where were those Sides again...” she muttered.

Sid’s mind was difficult to navigate. Her constantly shifting thoughts and interests made the terrain just as unreliable, the ground changing shape and color with every step. The sounds of a thousand ideas choked the air, buzzing and screeching, somehow both too quite to hear and too loud to hear anything else. A song played behind the thoughts chatter, looping over and over, consistent background noise to the constant foreground cacophony.

Des moved out of the way of a a person, made of letters and some kind of gray mist, as they sobbed and ran past her. It left behind the feeling of abandonment, and on the ground where it had stepped it left behind words. “Rude Awakening,” Des read. Ah. An unfinished story.

She considered trying to recruit the story. She’d have to see if they had any kind of power or influence after they’d been left behind. If not, she’d let them die with Sid.

She continued on her quest. If she could find that ‘Jessa’, the irrationality Side, she could get her to overpower Sid...

Des walked right into a wall.

“Shit!” She reached up to hold her head, and felt something warm and wet. She brought her hand down, and found her fingers to be coated in blood and lava. She growled and wiped it off on the ground, which shifted from bright teal to deep red at her touch.

She looked up at the building she had slammed into. It was made of deep purple bricks. It didn’t seem to have a start or an end, stretching as wide and tall as the eye could see.

Des looked behind her. Had she already gotten to the subconscious? She couldn’t have...

There was one door. One way forward.

She rubbed her thumb on the end of her sword’s handle, and then went in.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

As soon ash she stepped through the door the world changed.

The music from before became overpowering, and the clamoring of the thoughts went completely silent. She was standing on solid ground, but there was no ground to be seen. She stood in a void, with only one thing in it.

A girl. A version of Sid, in fact. Not one that Des had seen before.

The girl’s hair was short and dark purple, or maybe long and bright purple, or maybe Sid’s normal hair...

Her clothes were a pair of ripped skinny jeans and a band shirt and a black hoodie and sneakers, and they were a black skirt with leggings and a long sleeved dark red shirt and knee-high boots, and they were loose jeans and a loose solid pink shirt, and-

Des rubbed her eyes. The girl’s appearance never stayed the same. All that remained unchanging was the fact that she looked like Sid. A... a younger Sid. From before Des had even existed.

The girl hovered in the air, grinning, singing along with the music.

“Now I know,” she did a spin, “there’s no-one I can trust!” She grabbed the shirt of a faceless figure and pulled them close “I used to think there was!” She shoved the figure away, and they vanished. “Tell me that I’m cut-throat!” She dragged a knife across her neck, grinning, her eyes wide and shifting between purple and black as though they just couldn’t make a decision, and as she dragged the knife across her throat blood poured out of it. “I think you got your eyes closed!” A giant pair of eyes materialized behind her, looking terrified and very similar to Sid’s own, and they squeezed shut.

Des stepped closer. How had she never even heard of this girl? She knew all of Sid’s characters...

“Feel the fear!” The girl stared down at a group of terrified people, all of them as hazy as extras in dreams, but terror clear on their blurry faces. “And swallow back the tears!” The giant eyes returned, crying, before the irises were swallowed with purple and the tears stopped flowing. “Let weakness disappear!” The girl threw her arms out and threw her head back, purple energy pulsing around her. “There’s nobody but me her!” she sang to a mirror, a mirror that showed a younger Sid pounding on the glass, screaming. The girl just grinned back. She grabbed the sides of the mirror and got close to the glass, her nose touching the image of Sid’s. “The killer in the mirror!”

The girl continued her little show, and Des tried to guess who she was.

She wasn’t a Side. She wasn’t some kind of new OC either, her age made that clear. But the song she was dancing to was new... so she must be an old character, and something dragged her back into the forefront of Sid’s imagination.

Realization dawned on Des.

Another evil ego. From long before Des was even a thought.

“Knock ‘em. In the. Teeth. Now,” the girl sang, slowly advancing on another dream-like group, “Never! Let your! Guard! Down!” She “Get some. Of what. They’ve. Got! Have it. And the. Have. Nots!” With every word she got closer. Des got closer as well, curious, and a little pissed off.

Another evil ego? Why did she come back? She was clearly stuck as the age at which Sid made her, so she hadn’t grown with her creator. She was a relic! A... worse version of what Des could have been!

Des wasn’t jealous. Of course not. She was the best, the best of all Sid’s silly little characters. She didn’t get jealous. At all. Ever. It was inconceivable.

The girl grinned even wider somehow. “Knock, knock, knock ‘em all the fuck out!” she screamed, lurching forward, a burst of power exploding through the void. Des shouted as it knocked her to the ground, pushing and dragging her across the floor, knocking the breath from her lungs.

She stayed still, wheezing, pain gripping her whole body. She could faintly hear the girl still singing, but her ears were ringing too much for it to be more than muffled incomprehensible noise.

And then she was pulled to her feet and staring the girl in the face.

The girl was considerably shorter, both because of her age and the extra height Des’s boots gave her. She made up for it by floating high enough to be at eye-level with Des. “Hiya!” she exclaimed.The blood and cut on here neck were gone without a trace. Her teeth looked just a bit too sharp to be human. Her eyes bore into Des’s, and if Des herself wasn’t an evil ego it might have set shivers through her spine.

The girl tilted her head. “Did that hurt ya?” She laughed. “I hope so!”

Des scowled. “Who are you?”

“I’m !)@%*!” she said, using Sid’s real name. Des flinched. The girl didn’t notice. “But cooler! And with no worries or limitations or restraints!” She shrugged, still grinning. “And a little insane!”

“I’m Sid’s evil ego,” Des growled. She drew her sword.

The girl tilted her head again. “Who’s Sid?” Her voice never stopped being cheery.

“I don’t use her real name, idiot.” Des straightened her posture and posed regally. “I am LavaDestroys.”

The girl chuckled. “I don’t have a name! Never did!” Her eyes never closed. They never even narrowed. They just stared, wide as they could be, never leaving Des’s own. “You look different!” The corners of her mouth drooped. It was barely perceptible, the grin was still plastered to her face, but it was clear something had upset her. “Older.”

Des nodded. “I am.”

“How much older?”

Des looked the girl up and down. “A little over two years, I think.”

The girl laughed, bitterness clear in the sound, her left eye twitching. “Two years? I’ve been gone for two years? And... you replaced me?”

Des put her sword away. The girl’s smile dropped completely, her teeth clenching and her breaths coming in short and shaky. Her whole face twitched with rage, and the purple of her eyes became much more red. She screamed, the void around them filling with clashing lights of various shades of purple. She gripped her hair, staring at the ground. Des backed away, but the rage powered light-show left her alone. She watched the girl, braced herself, and took a step forward.

She took slow, careful steps, until she was right next to the girl. She put her hand on her back. “You poor little thing,” she said, pity filling her voice. “Ignored, abandoned, forgotten...”

The girl’s head snapped up and she grabbed Des’s jacket, yanking her closer. “WHAT MAKES YOU BETTER THAN ME?! I WAS FUN! SHE HAD FUN IMAGINING FIGHTING ME!” Her voice cracked and rasped as she screamed at the top of her lungs.

“It’s hardly my fault I was created!” Des didn’t fight back. This girl... she was made before Sid realized her love of manipulative villains. before Sid knew how to properly write manipulation... how it worked.. which left her open to a few ‘suggestions’ from Des. “I never even knew you existed! She ruined you, not me!”

The girl bared her teeth. “YOU STILL REPLACED ME!” She was practically howling the words.

“Please, if you must be angry with anyone, be angry with Sid!”

The girl dropped Des, tears filling her eyes. “She even changed her name in the time I’ve been... been dead! I’ve been DEAD to her!” She shook with rage, with the strain of trying to draw breath through her feelings taking up her chest. “Why shouldn’t I just kill you?! HUH?!” She grinned again, still crying. “Then she’ll HAVE to pay attention to me again!”

“Or,” Des said, using her most soothing voice, “We could fight her together.”

“What?” the girl growled venomously.

“I hate her as well, of course.”

“I don’t hate her! I- I want to help!”

Des blinked, taken aback. “What?”

“She’s so stressed all the time! Having to be sweet and happy and nice all the time!”

Ah. Of course, made when Sid was thirteen... the start of her emo/edgy phase.

“She needs to loosen up!” The girl spread her arms out. “And I can help her do that! She’ll fight against it, but she’ll like it eventually!”

Dammit. Des thought for a moment. “Fine... I think we could still help each other.”

“Oh yeah? How? You seem way too uptight for my taste.” The girl cackled. “I want to go wild! Be unrestrained! You look like you never stop holding things back!”

Des grit her teeth and took a deep breath. “Sid has changed since you’ve been gone,” she said. “Didn’t you notice the new music? The fact that you can curse now? I’m so different from you because she re-thought how she’d like an evil version of her to be. Because her preferences have changed. Her personality has changed. She’s a different person.”

The girl shook her head. “Not that different. I’m here again! I can feel it! She still wants to be able to loosen up! She still can’t be herself the way she wants to!”

“But she expresses herself more now,” Des argued. “Trust me. She’s not the girl she was when she made you.” ‘She’s just different enough for you to need me.’ Des tried not to smirk as she thought that.

The girl looked thoughtful. “You want to kill her. I need her.”

“Well, perhaps I can kill her in more ways than one.” Des smiled. “She’ll hardly be the Sid I’m bothered by if you get ahold of her.”

The girl stared into Des’s eyes. Des stared back, unblinking, unyielding.

The girl nodded slowly. For a moment she looked like a normal kid, looking for some help, some guidance.

“I... guess I could see that.”

Now it was Des who grinned too wide. “Wonderful. Come with me.” She held her hand out. “We have a lot to plan.”

Ferox has a list of people she would go after if she ever got character!Sid to give in to her, an actual crap list, like Lassie in Psych has. Des rolls her eyes and mocks it, but she also has one, literally carved into a stone tablet, because she is Like That.
