I was hoping to finesse these a bit more before posting but I also didn't want to end 2023 off without having posted much art in my new style - so here you go! Some preliminary OC bio work! I may expand on and change the style of these bio sheets (I'm not a fan of the text scrunching) but for now, have these! Happy holidays, all!

Diasomnia OC Fun Facts

-All of them agree that Halloween is the best day of the year.

-Sage gets cravings at random times. Since he can't cook (and he knows it) he will wake Alphonse up in the middle of the night to make food.

-Damien makes his own puppets. Some of them are modeled after people he knows.

-Cade is a musical prodigy and can play almost any instrument.

-The three of them met at the sorting ceremony before getting sorted. They clicked almost instantly and they've been friends ever since, although they do tend to bicker from time to time.

-Sage likes to pull pranks (nothing actually harmful). His favorite people to prank are Sebek and Francois.

-Damien put wheels on a bathtub and now he gets his friends to find random large hills to speed down with him and hopefully not die.

-Given the opportunity Cade will wake people up by playing meme songs on his instruments.

-All of them agreed to stay in school for winter break to try and kidnap Santa Claus. Everyone came back that year to the lounge covered in bear traps. It's a miracle nobody got hurt.

-Sage's favorite type of theatrical performance is musical comedy.

-Damien's gamer tag was chosen because of his love of puppets: Master_of_Puppets. (Yes. I did reference a Metallica song.)

-Cade found Charolette in a pumpkin patch and decided to keep her. The little pet usually hangs around in his pocket, but sometimes she'll shoulder ride.

Damien has to fight his evil clone Heretic, and he's complaining about the whole thing.

Dani just casually drops the fact she had multiple fellow clone siblings who died, several of whom she was witness to.

"And now he's trying to kill me! I cannot understand why mother would do such a thing." Damian frowned, crossing his arms.

Dani nodded sagely. "Parents are weird. Your situation sounds worse than mine, though. I saw a whole bunch of my clone siblings die because they were too unstable. I was the only survivor and then my dad was going to kill me too once he got his hands on the original."

Damian looked thoughtful. "That is Daniel, correct?"

"Mhm. But thankfully, it all worked out and he's dead now."

Damian's eyes grew large. "Did you kill your father?"

"Me? No. My sister did."

Damian nodded slowly, looking bewildered. "Big Fenton does not look like the type to kill someone."

Dani snorted. "You have no idea. So what are you going to do about your evil twin?"

"We are not twins," Damian said with a haughty tilt of his head. "He has white hair and looks like Slade. I have black hair and look like Father, so therefore I am the superior because Father is not ugly."

As Dani burst out laughing at the secondhand diss, Damian asked, "Do you think I could introduce him to my clone siblings...?"

Dani coughed, taking a deep breath to calm herself down from the giggles before she asked, "You also have clone siblings?"

Damian nodded. "I put them on an island. We are all good brothers to each other, I think. If Heretic meets them, do you think he could calm down?"

"Aww! That's awesome, little dude!" She ruffled his hair which he batted away with a cry. "And I totally think it could happen! We should capture him and find out!"

Damian beamed. He was glad that his family had befriended the Phantoms. After all, how else would he have met people that agreed with him so much? "Yes! Lets's!"

[dannydoesthisthing27]

I can't sleep so I'd like to offer up some general redacted headcanons I have, and that I've talked about briefly in other posts but haven't expanded on.

Out of the D.A.M.N crew, Freelancer is the clingiest. Surprisingly Damien is the second clingiest. He's a lot more subtle about it than Freelancer, though. Damien is the 'standing/sitting close enough that you're touching but don't say anything or he'll move' clingy. He canonically has a hard time with physical contact, but I like to think that around the crew he's a lot more comfortable with casual contact.

David listens to music 80% of the time. 10% of the time he's humming to himself. The other 10% he's tapping his fingers. He grew up around people who constantly listened to almost every kind of music there is. When David listens to music he feels at peace because he feels his family through the lyrics. (Projecting big time music's always been important to me)

Camelopardalis is very accepting of his demonic nature and appearance (vega is as well but for different reasons) Cam still presents as mostly human, but he has horns, a long tail, his skin is tinted sage green and white (vitiligo), his iris' are turquoise, and his sclera are black, occasionally appearing cracked when he is in distresss. He wears very unique clothing and rarely repeats an outfit. He stands about 6'5 without his horns added height.

Huxley and Dear go hiking together as often as possible. They both love talking to eachother, or just enjoying nature quietly together. Dear likes listening to Hux talk about his house projects and the plants he grows at home. Huxley likes listening to Dear talk about any of their special interests, but he really enjoys when they talk about moths. Dear has an extensive mental library of moth facts and can ramble for hours if given the opportunity.

Freelancer is an aspiring tattoo artist and has practiced on every member of the crew, including gavin. (Idk if demons can actually get tattooed, but for the sake of my sanity, i don't want to try and figure out how)

Azmidi leaves Sweetie gifts around the house when they go to work. They vary in type of gift, but its typically something sparkly that makes cool patterns when light hits it

Guy collects di and dnd mini figures. His favorite set is one that Honey got him. There's 3 mini's, and one full set of dice. The dice are swirled red and orange in various shades and combinations. The mini's are designs he came up with that Honey had custom made as an anniversary present. One for him, one for them, and one of their cat. (Guys is a kobold)

Baabe and Sam collect records and banter at each other about who's is more extensive. They also play chess during pack meetings when they're both there. The record is 34-35 in Sam's favor. Baabe is a very respectful loser, but they are definitely still ticked off that someone is able to beat them regularly. The only other person to beat them is David. Their record is 1-1.

Hudson made an entire album to commemorate the people lost during the inversion, and it's how he's coped along with a lot of therapy.

Anton is the second biggest wolf in his pack (idk if it's been established which one he's part of yet?) Regardless he is only second to the alpha of whatever pack he's in. His partner loves it when he shifts and lays on them like a weighted blanket

Christian has a hard time expressing emotion, similar to David he just doesn't have the kind of personality where vulnerability is something that's regularly expressed. There was one time when he and Ash really got into it with eachother. They weren't on speaking terms for a few days because of a mutual misunderstanding. After they had a little time to cool off the two of them had a very long conversation about why it is Christian felt resentful towards Asher because he was named beta. They're a lot closer now and go surfing together sometimes

Guy and Honey both aspire to be the kind of people that little kids tell their parents they want to be like. They both have immaculate fashion senses and go thrifting all the time for more stuff to add. One time they were at a festival and Honey was wearing big platform boots, crazy hair colors, fun earrings, a ring on every other finger each one unique, a corset with sheer lace in the back that when resting looks almost like a skirt, their bag covered in patches and pins (guy was wearing a similar get up.) A kid came up to Honey and told them that they looked like a prince (my Honey is masc presenting) they still smile when they think about that day.

Brachium has never had tea, but if he did drink it, he would like hibiscus tea

[stolligaseptember]

sir angelo: sir damien, do you have some insight that might prove useful?

sir damien: [goes on an absolutely unhinged rant about how lord arum's violet eyes caused him to question his entire moral worldview]

sir angelo: alright then, we'll return to you- uh, later on.

Smosh Summer Games:ships part 8

Thank you so much for all the support guys. After this one there's 2-3 parts left and I'm so excited for you to read it and hear you opinions on it!! Hope you guys like this one!

Part 8: Why is everybody afraid of love, LOVE.

Waking up next to him still felt bittersweet. This is temporary, you reminded yourself. Soon, you’d be waking up alone again, the warmth of his body just a distant memory.

His grip tightened, almost like he could read your thoughts, pulling you a little closer. You stirred and turned to face him, only to find his eyes already on you, half-lidded but awake, studying you.

“Were you watching me sleep?” you teased, raising an eyebrow.

He smirked, though there was something softer in his expression. “Caught me,” he said, voice low. “Hard to look away.”

“Smooth.” You smiled, despite yourself. He leaned in, brushing his lips against yours, the kiss soft at first but deepening, almost like he was trying to hold onto every second.

When you finally pulled away, you could feel the weight of the moment between you.

“So... last night really was the last time, huh?” You tried to keep it casual, but your voice wavered slightly.

Damien blinked, his lips parted like he was about to say something, but you cut in before he could respond. “All of this is gonna be over soon,” you said, tracing a finger down his chest, playful but tinged with the uncertainty of what came next.

He sighed, pulling you even closer, his breath warm against your hair. “I don’t know,” he murmured. “I just... don’t want to stop.”

You nudged him playfully. “Then don’t, I'll give you a minute longer.”

He chuckled, his chest vibrating against you. “Is that an invitation?”

“Maybe,” you grinned, feeling a little lighter.

He pulled you back into his arms, the hug lingering a little too long, but neither of you seemed in a hurry to break it. It felt like you both knew that when you did, the illusion would shatter. You thought about asking him if he felt the same way—if this was more than just a fling to him—but you couldn’t bring yourself to do it.

Instead, you settled for breaking the moment with a nudge. “We should probably head up before someone comes looking for us. Can’t have them questioning why we're always sneaking of”

He groaned, reluctantly letting go. “Yeah, I guess. But if they ask, I'm blaming you.”

“Fair,” you laughed, rolling out of bed with a grin. “Come on, let’s go.”

As you both got dressed and headed up to meet the others, you couldn't shake the feeling of his lingering touches or the unspoken words between you. By the time you reached the group, you pushed the thoughts aside, deciding for now to just enjoy his company.

When you arrived, the others were already gathered, except for Courtney and Shayne, who were nowhere to be seen. You caught a few curious glances from the others, but nobody said anything—yet. They seemed far to invested in their own conversation.

Arasha smirked. "I didn't dominate; I was just... exceptionally prepared."

Angela, raising a fork in her hand, chimed in. "If by 'exceptionally prepared' you mean psychic, then sure."

Arasha raised her mug in silent agreement, her face unreadable. "I'm having a ball, though. Doesn't matter who wins."

Spencer feigned disappointment. "A ball? Really?"

Arasha didn't miss a beat. "Sorry didn't meen to appropriate you culture. A ball is plenty, who needs two anyway?"

Spencer blinked, mock-offended. "Hey, you're expelled for that."

As the group joked around, you couldn't shake the thoughts of this morning. Each glance from Damien seemed to carry more weight than the laughter around you. Are you ever going to be able to not be distracted by him?

Angela snickered. "Is that even something a judge can do?"

"It's usually up to management," Trevor added, nodding sagely.

Olivia leaned in, whispering far too loudly, "Management? So, Rhett and Link?"

Trevor furrowed his brows. "It would be Ian and Anthony?"

She lowered her voic  leaning closer. "Oh, right! That explains why he's been hanging around."

Anthony shook his head with a grin. "You literally whispered that TO me."

Damien chuckled beside you, his hand brushing yours under the table, sparking that familiar warmth between you two. You couldn't help but glance his way, that bittersweet feeling creeping back in.

Chanse playfully nudged Arasha. "We have been trapped on this ship for way to long. We need to meet people, dance, have sex."

Your eyes met Damiens as you tried to supress a smile.

Tommy piped up, wiggling his eyebrows. "So... who do we think is the last person here that got laid?"

Angela laughed, setting her cup down with a bang. "Well, Shayne and Courtney are missing... so I guess it's safe to assume it's at least one of them!"

Everyone chuckled, nodding in agreement. 

Tommy glanced around, leaning forward. "Okay, but who's gonna be the next person to have sex?"

Arasha didn't hesitate, locking eyes with you. "Y/n."

You froze, choking on your coffee. Damien, who had just taken a sip of his drink, nearly spit it out. "Uh, no. Not me. Like how would I even do that?"

You felt your cheeks heat as the group exchanged knowing glances. "Seriously, not me," you echoed, feeling the weight of Arasha's smirk from across the table.

"Oh, really?" she asked, her voice as smooth as ever.

For a second, you swore her gaze shifted to Damien, then back to you. But before you could react, the conversation kept going, leaving you and Damien awkwardly glancing at each other.

Arasha's lips curled into a small, mischievous smile. "But if we were stuck here, Angela would you kiss Amanda?

"No way," Angela scoffed.

Arasha smirked. "But what if you're choking and need mouth-to-mouth?"

"And what if you're doing mouth-to-mouth and you need choking?" Tommy added with a wink.

Amanda, unfazed, leaned back in her chair, a mischievous grin on her face. "I would," she quipped, winking at the group.

Angela eyes looked as is they were going to pop out of their sockets, while the rest of the table erupted in laughter, Amanda elbowed her playfully. 

You smiled along still puzzled by the moment that had just passed. It wasn't what Arasha said, though- that definitely lingered, it was the way she said it. Like she knew something you didn't. 

"Well, at least we know Damien wouldn't be hooking up with anyone," Arasha said with a sly grin. "You know how he is—he's gotta actually like the person first."

Your heart jumped at that, stealing a glance at Damien. What does that mean?

Damien didn't look at anyone else but you, his expression softening. "Yeah... I'm not into meaningless things." His voice was quiet but firm, each word carrying a weight that made your breath hitch.

Tommy, oblivious, chuckled. "No random flings, huh?"

Damien's gaze never wavered from yours. "You could say that," he said slowly, his voice carrying weight. The implication hung in the air, and your chest tightened, trying to read between the lines.

The intensity of his words sent your thoughts spiraling. He means me... doesn't he? It was too much to process, the uncertainty, the possibility. You needed space.

"I, uh, need to... get some air," you blurted, standing quickly as you excused yourself from the table.

You barely registered their responses as you walked away, your heart pounding in your chest. You had to talk to Courtney. Now. As you left them at the dining table you could hear Angela saying, "but she went downstairs? is she getting air inside?

 You weren't sure if barging into the room to talk about this was a great idea—especially with Shayne there. You had told Courtney about you and Damien hooking up, but this? This was a whole different level of confusion. Still, you couldn't keep it bottled up anymore. Talking about this felt... awkward, but you needed to figure out what was happening. 

You burst into the room, barely giving Courtney and Shayne time to process your frantic energy. They both sat on the bed, chatting before you interrupted.

"I need to talk to you... about Damien," you blurted, breathless.

Courtney raised an eyebrow, exchanging a look with Shayne.

"Oh, so it's finally happening," Shayne said, smirking.

You blinked. "Wait, what? You knew?"

"Of course," he replied, sitting back. "I've known for a while."

You blinked rapidly, confused. "How? I only just told Courtney!"

Shayne glanced between you and Courtney, his smirk turning into confusion. "You told her?"

Courtney stifled a laugh, sensing where this might be heading. Shayne didn't pick up on it.

"I mean, we already told her that," he continued, clearly thinking you were on the same page.

You threw your hands up, bewildered. "Wait, wait... hold on. How could you know? I never talked to you about... Damien and me."

Shayne grinned, still oblivious. "Come on, he told me WAY before he told you."

You stared at Shayne, dumbfounded. "Wait, how could you know before me? That literally makes no sense. What, did Damien give you like... a rundown of all of it before it happened?"

Shayne, still unaware, gave a confused chuckle. "Well, yeah, obviously he told me about it before you."

Your face twisted in disbelief. "BEFORE?! What do you mean 'before'? I'm pretty sure I was there every time. I would have known BEFORE you?!""

Courtney's eyes widened, "Wait everytime? It happned more than once!?"

You blushed, your voice low. “a.. few times.”

Shayne raised an eyebrow, still not catching on. "Uh, can  ithappen more than once?"

You stared at him, completely lost. "What? Yes, what do you mean, ofcourse if can happen more than once? It's not like you guys have only had sex once?" You looked over at Courtney."

Courtney stifled a laugh as Shayne blinked in bewilderment. "Wait, WHAT?! You guys had sex?"

Courtney burst into laughter, clutching her sides. “Oh my god, this is the best thing I’ve ever witnessed!”

"That IS what we are talking about?!" you exclaimed, rubbing your temples.

Shayne ran his hands through his hair, looking utterly flustered. "Wait, that’s what you’ve been talking about this whole time?!  - So your saying he told you that he's inlove with you and then you had sex?!"

"Yes" You froze mid-sentence. "Wait... WHAT? In love with me?! I'm just talking about the fact that we had sex!"

Shayne looked like he was processing way too much at once. "Hold up. So Damien, who has been in love with you for years, finally hooks up with you... and you thought it was a fling?"

You blinked, trying to make sense of everything. "Oh my god. He likes me? Like, actually likes me? I didn't know he was in love with me! I thought it was just... something that happened."

Shayne let out a half-laugh, half-groan, shaking his head. "Oh my god, this whole time... How did you not see it?"

Your eyes widened.  Shayne facepalmed as you started to ramble. "He likes me? Why? How? When? Oh my god—he's liked me this whole time?"

Courtney snorted, wiping away tears from laughing. "This is such a mess."

"I like him too," you muttered, your brain short-circuiting from the revelation. "I... I need to talk to him."

Shayne groaned. "You better, because I need to lie down after this.."

Courtney had a wide smile on her face, "Oh my god, this is going to be so good."

You dart out of the room, practically skidding around the corner as you spot Damien near the door to your cabin. Your breath’s still catching up, but you launch into words anyway.

“Damien!” you pant, rushing over. “We—we get along, right? Really well?

He blinks, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Yeah, I know.. we do. What’s up?”

You take a deep breath, trying to slow your racing thoughts. “Okay, good, because I want us to still get along when we get back, even after… you know, everything that’s happened.”

“Uh-huh…” he responds, clearly not following where this is going.

“And now that we know all of that, there’s… also a lot of stuff we don’t know! Or, I mean, stuff you don’t know, or that I know but you don’t know—yet!” You’re practically vibrating with energy.

Damien's eyebrows scrunch together, trying to piece together what you're saying. “Wait, what? I mean, I think we know eachother very well.”

“Yes! Exactly!” You pause, realizing how close you’re getting. “Well, not exactly. I mean, yes, but—wait, no, I mean—ugh, I don’t know how to say it!”

Damien’s brow furrows, his confusion deepening. “Waht are you trying to say?”

 You take a deep breath, trying to collect yourself. “I mean, I..

Just as you’re about to blurt it all out, Spencer pops up between you two, practically bouncing with excitement. “Hey, lovers! Time for the game!”

You gape at Spencer as he throws his arms around both of you. “Let’s go!” He pulls you both away before you can get another word out. You glance back at Damien, who’s still looking mildly puzzled, but you’re already being whisked away.

Your chance slips away as Spencer drags you off, and all you can think is: Great timing, Spencer. Great timing.
