Lose yourself in a Dream

intelligence. you're a soul that overextends yourself in all aspects to make up for the fact that you're not a disposable cup. you haven't let yourself breathe in years, instead choosing to make yourself 'useful'. whatever that means to you- throwing yourself into an interest so you feel like you know something, holding together a barely stable friend while you yourself are tape and glue, etc etc. i promise it's okay to not always know the answer. things will get better because you're better at things than you think. so keep that heart pumping, yeah? there's plenty of people that want you around.

love. you're soft hearted, and that's okay. despite feeling unnoticed and undervalued, you've kept it up. you're still doing a great job. i promise it'll be worth it to keep your heart open. people will notice you and treasure you like you deserve. you'll accept the kindness you never got before, and give just as much in return. things will get better because you let yourself feel. so stay kind, yeah? there's a lot of people who haven't gotten to feel the wonder that is loving you.

perseverance. whether you recognize it or not, you've got a strong soul. your last thread of hope might be fraying and thin, but it's still there. you're still holding onto it. i promise it'll be worth it to keep holding on. over time, you'll notice that it's easier to grab. you won't feel so weak anymore because things will be easier. things will get better because you command them to. so keep your head up, yeah? you've still got some people to prove wrong.

bravery. you've hardened a shell around the person that you used to be. there was only so much you could take until you needed to gain control, change the only thing you could. you might think there's only a yolk left inside, but there's so much more. in the corners and in the crevices, there's pieces of you that you never got to meet. i promise that little kid is still in there. things will get better because you're good at breaking through things. so keep yourself together, yeah? that little kid still hasn't seen the rest of the world yet.

STABI LOVING HOURS HERE TOO!!!!! But also I'll throw in some questions too. What inspired each of your muses? Is there meaning behind the team name? Do you have main character arcs for each of them to go through, or are you winging most of their growth?

at least you asked questions this time ray

So really I just make OC’s for content that I like. I like exploring the created media and fictional worlds I enjoy. As anyone would tell you, something you create does take on a life of it’s own and that’s no exception here. It started with one, then a whole team, then it expanded and then the next thing I knew I was writing an adjacent story because hiatuses were long. I started to build things of my own accord away from the main story because I didn’t want to have to change anything on a large scale, and I had the freedom to do what I wanted.

This is gonna be a long tangent so read more if you want!

What inspired each of your muses?

Sometimes I get an idea and it just comes to life. Sometimes you make puzzle pieces that all just happen to fit together. Chroma and Russet were first, then I figured “well I’m halfway through a team might as well” but I always like doing something different. They weren’t going to be from just one kingdom, but what circumstances would that happen? Then I thought where do all the odd ones out, misfits, academy failures go? Then the experimental team I have now was made. This was around early V2 but I never actually got the blog up until much later.

Olivine originally was conceptualized as ‘how close can I get to magic without magic’ and ‘how do i make a wizard but not’ before the reveal of the Maidens. Also the concept of Dust is like ‘RT pls gib me more info ilu’. Magic rocks yes please. Then when the show confirmed Dust tattoo’s were a thing she got those. Though during the Watts/Ironwood fight when I saw what Hardlight Dust did to human flesh I became very concerned because guess who has that as a Dust tattoo? This woman on borrowed time that’s who.

Chroma’s original theme that still persists today is irony. The phrase blind as a bat that was twisted around. She originally had a different name until the naming rule was made widely known. Thus she is a bat faunus, made blind, named after something she can’t see, and what she uses to see with she can manipulate. Her motif was also twisted around a bit, rather than being cursed to repeat what she hears, she’s curse to warp her reality so she can see.

Russet was made partly as a foil to Chroma because... well read her profile. She’s the most... call it plain of the four but that’s also kind of the point of her character: she’s a ray of sunshine, incredibly animated, can be over the top and so on and so forth. However she also falls into a category of being someone a lot of bad things don’t happen to. She’s a grounding anchor of reassurance, even if she does have a lot of survivors guilt about nothing bad happening to her.

Delaney just... became team mom and occasionally wakes up and tells me things about himself and then goes back to sleep. He didn’t get his proper semblance until about a year or so ago? He finally figured it out, motif and then just, went back to bed. Kool-aid Man’d through my mental brain and I’m just like ‘okay man????’. His story was the reason my whole villain group has any footing in my brain and oh boy are they quite unpleasant.

Is there meaning behind the team name? 

ORCD was, well a flower and it fit the colour rule. Then everyone kind of fell into a flower theme for names. Well do you know how particular and picky an orchid actually is? It’s hard to take care of, and if not done correctly, it will die. Oddly enough, so does everyone else on this team: Olivine can’t burnout of her semblance because she’ll risk heart problems. Russet’s pessimism can destroy her on a mental level. Chroma just... Chroma. Delaney has a target on his back and if he’s not careful with himself he could get a lot of people hurt.

Do you have main character arcs for each of them to go through, or are you winging most of their growth? 

Yes, as I said the ORCD story runs during the events of the show/a bit before. Everyone has staple moments in their own stories that will be relevant no matter what. Major moments in the main story will have impacts on these characters. I just need to get off my ass and write them all up and have them posted on the blog at some point. Sometimes some unexpected things happen that would count as winging it, but like I said, mind of it’s own creation, you can’t account for everything. There is so much in my head that I need to get out before it all blends together.

[teamorcd-a]

ಥoಥ for all of the main team

ಥoಥ: How are they like when they cry? Do they just stream tears nonstop? Does their nose get clogged to the point that it’s hard to breathe? Is it easy for them to speak when they are sobbing? Do they hiccup when they cry? 

Olivine: She’s a rather quiet crier. She’s very well spoken despite being upset, but tears tend to flow and not stop until she’s better. Being the daughter of a doctor, it’s very easy to avoid congestion. Olivine has a habit of becoming very languid and clingy when she’s crying.

Russet: Russet does all kinds of crying. She’ll ugly cry, softly sob, wet faced, hiccups and everything. It always depends on what she’s crying about however. She lives vicariously through her emotions. If she’s ever crying quietly to herself, she often not wants to bother people.

Chroma: If Chroma is ever found crying then there is a significant problem. She becomes silent and shuts down in a corner. Sometimes she forgets to breathe, but refuses to speak at all whatsoever. Any attempts to make sound naturally is often hitched and broken.

Delaney: This guy is a subtle man, and thus tears come slowly and he’s rarely vocal about it. He won’t hide it though, and few things get him riled up enough to express his sadness any worse than just sitting and letting it happen.

Olivine, for whatever reason I picture a Zebstrika. Russet is probably a Chatot. Chroma...I can see being a Chandelure? I don't wanna say Zubat for her. And Delaney...either a Furret, Slaking, or Ursaring.

WHAT KIND OF POKEMON ARE YOU?

“I’m... okay with this electrical bicorn. It looks rather capable and elegant.”

“Heck yeah Chatot is great! That’s one of my favourites!”

“... I can get behind something that burns the souls of the living.”

“Furrets are cool. Slaking is a bit on the nose I think... Ursaring though? Yeah. Can agree.”

[teamorcd-a]

emblem hcs all

Five Headcanons Time

Olivine’s Emblem is based off of a frame of fines and the face of a snapdragon flower head. The negative spaces are meant to look like what their seed pods resemble, which is a skull. All Snapdragons have the same emblem frame, but the middle is always different.

Russet’s Emblem is a masquerade mask mixed with a helm. Russet had the longest time figuring out her emblem, but Chroma suggested something along the lines of battle theatre. In a day Russet figured out what it was and she would not stop pestering her older brother for vinyl stickers of it.

Chroma’s Emblem was designed at a very early age, before she lost her sight. She made it with Wisteria and it’s one of the few things she remembers the appearance of. It’s meant to resemble a reversed bass clef combined with the flower of her namesake.

Delaney’s Emblem was not designed by him, and was in fact a Hemlock family collaboration when he was admitted into the program. A lion head with a mane of claws. It was simple and worn, but Delaney’s rather proud of it. He think it’d make his dad proud.

Dunstan doesn’t actually have an emblem of his own. Given his handful of aliases and his line of work, he would rather be made as hard to identify as possible.

You always gotta ask in bulk don’tcha XD

HOW DOES MY MUSE MELT MEME

Olivine: she’s a useless bi-saster who only needs one genuine flirtatious comment and perhaps one finger gently going down her skin and she’s done. She’s gonna try to act all not interested and tough it out but no, no she’s a goddamn terrible liar.

Russet: She’s a hugger. If you can manage to figure out a way to get her to consistently sleep, or attempt any method to get her to sleep, she will be a happy little potato flower.

Chroma: With the prerequisite of being allowed in her personal space, massage her ears and just have quiet whispery conversations in her ears. That will get her relaxed and tired, and and a tired bat is a clingy one.

Delaney: Mess with his hair. It’s already a mess. He doesn’t want to give into the whole cats like being petted thing, but everyone likes being pet so is it really a stereotype?

🎁 + It's a bag of candied nuts and an oversized candy cane! It comes with a note: "SUCK ON THESE. No, but seriously, enjoy them. Share'em with your team." -H.

Send my Muse a Christmas Gift

Certainly the entire team had been baffled. A single alphabetical letter and a crass attempt at humor (by Olivine’s standards) had left the anonymous gifter quite a mystery. Delaney at least got his paranoia out of the way and the gift was indeed, not some kind of malicious trap.

“I don’t recognize the writing.” Russet stared at the card intently. “I’m not even sure who’s got this kind of humour. This wasn’t a prank from you, right Chroma?”

The faunus only stared with a deadpan glare that reminded everyone once again: she was legally blind.

“You could have gotten someone else to write it.”

Chroma shook her head, already chewing on some of the nuts. “No loose ends.”

“Perhaps someone younger based on the joke.” Olivine chimed in with a tone of disappointment. “Then again not all adults can be so professional.”

Russet waved her off. “Either way it was nice of them. So how are we splitting this giant candy cane?”

ORCD: Monstrous AU

Because it is all the time for all the scares and now I’m being sucked into AU hell and it’s someone’s fault. They know who they are.

Revenant Olivine kept alive through arcane bindings, alive but confused to her purpose. Revived by her father after death in a fit of guilt, her magic grows day by day, and may one day consume her.

Banshee Russet left with unfinished planar business, is rather benevolent considering the creature’s reputation. However her flip to pessimism will leave you haunted forever if you managed to survived her hellish screams and wrath.

Vampire Chroma blinded by the sun, isolated from humanity in order to exist peacefully. A myriad of powers at her disposal but no passion for creating a brood or thralls. All vampires need to feed though...

Werelion Delaney is at peace with his natural shifting powers, and is forced to change on a new moon as opposed to the full. Families of shifting folk are familiar with the family but a handful seek to destroy them.

How does Olivine's family view Olivine's team? Were they dragged into family hijinks or left as "teammates/friends" and treated more like guests when / if they visit?

All of ORCD became friends of the family. No one believed Olivine grew up in the middle of the Solitas waste and had a pet bear. Absolutely none of them. The fact Olivine had a team of friends threw her parents and faculty over the moon. You don’t get to be part of the family without being part of the hijinks though.

Everyone on the team appreciates the open and strange ways of Fort Cathawl. From the huge dining hall dinners and the shouting matches from across the mansion, and especially the basement hot springs. They’ve all been given residency privileges for Cathawl and have two rooms they can split between the three of them.

What’s your true position?

“Huh... I guess?”

“Somewhat accurate.”

“I... I guess? I don’t know?”

What would your OCs want the most, and how would you tear that thing away from them as a writer?

So this is rather difficult because as anyone does to their OC’s, I’ve run them through plenty of torment.

Olivine just wants to make the most out of her life. She already believes she is on borrowed time. If she dies protecting anyone then that was her job, life fulfilled. However one of the things she fears most is dying alone.

Russet wants what’s better for people, tries to be the best for others, however I can take that away by wearing her down with enough evidence that the world is a terrible place that her default becomes pessimism.

Chroma has next to no fear of death and wants immortality in the form of legends. That’s something she has no control over. She also values freedom but she gets easily shaken when her foundation of self identity is threatened. If she was manipulated or something she believed was her freedom of choice suddenly wasn’t? She buckles, and buckles hard.

Delaney wants to make up for his wrong doings. Easily enough for him, a simple solution to taking what he wants away is to hurt everyone else except for him.

★★ ORCD

Despite ORCD not being a typical team, they do have partnered pairs: Olivine and Delaney are one, and Russet and Chroma are the other. Russet named all of the pairs and groupings for ‘ease of tactical purposes’. Olivine thought it was nonsense, Delaney didn’t care, and Chroma has the wisdom to know when and when not to stop her childhood friend.

Delaney and Chroma tend to go out to late night establishments and listen to the drama of other people because boredom and food they don’t have to cook. Chroma has a pension for finishing fights started with her, but can easily play off a drunk that Delaney will happily remove peacefully from the establishment if things get too ridiculous. As a kicker, Chroma does not consume alcohol.
