Note

just discovered your ocs through a reblog. can you tell me more about them? what are their favorite hobbies? whats their pet peeves? what's something they feel strongly about? do they get along with their family?

I also noticed Vale shares your name. is he a kin OC? is he your persona? how did you come up with their names? do you have face claims?

what are their sins? tell me all the things.

Hey hi hello! Thank you for asking about my boys ;~; they have my heart.

I'll start with Vale since he's kind of the easiest to write for. He's basically my persona/mascot if that makes sense. Fun fact: he was originally a My Hero Academia OC that I turned into my mascot once I fell out of the fandom, lol. He's been my baby for several years, but this is the first year I've actually written any content for him! I guess when Zahar entered the picture, I just felt really inspired to finally write eeeeee.

Vale's favorite hobby is probably writing poetry (don't at me, he's like me but more confident). He was an English major in college so writing is kind of his passion besides his work.

Pet peeve wise is probably weak people and what I mean by that is people that don't stand up for or advocate for themselves/others. He's kind of an asshole about it. Like if he sees someone who obviously needs help but won't do the work for it, he thinks very lowly of them and finds them annoying.

Something Vale feels very strongly about is how much he loves Zahar (haha pain), but also making sure he takes care of those he loves aside from just Zahar. Vale came from a pretty impoverished family, not really knowing what money was like, so when it came time to help around, he pulled more than just his weight which let his parents have a more relaxed lifestyle. Unfortunately, they were killed in a motor accident when he was 16, so he takes that grief with him everywhere he goes. That kind of ties into the next question, but yeah he got along with his family. He had a older sister, but she disappeared when she turned 18 and got away from poverty. Like Vale has no idea where she is and that's kind of how she prefers it. (Maybe I'll get into his sister at another time)

Vale's sin his is work. He's kind of what you'd call a gun for hire. He's down to kill anybody for the right price. It's how he makes his money. It started when he was a kid, doing petty theft to bring home money, but then as he got older and found more entries into the darker side of life, he never got out of it. To be entirely honest, he loves his job. He finds pleasure in making others fear him. Making others question their own mortality. (He's an asshole your honor.) No one know who he is aside from what little information he puts out there. The only one who knows what he does is Zahar. Zahar found out pretty quickly because Vale, shockingly, told him flat out early on into their relationship. It's also hard to hide when you've acquired such a large sum of money (how Vale lives his life) and trying to explain it off as just regular work at such a young age. If that makes sense. He also puts his work above anything else, including his relationship with Zahar (if you haven't read that fic yet, pls do!). He's greedy when you boil it down to the bare bones.

I don't have any face claims because they look too specific in my eyes to just find someone's face that matches. This goes for both Zahar and Vale. Voice claims I'm still working on, but just to give you the basics, Zahar has a deeper voice than Vale. Vale has more of a feminine voice? Which really helps sometimes with his work and tricking people into trusting him.

Vale's name was come up with Italian meanings in mind (i'm partially italian) so to break it down, it started with Valentine, which means "strong, vigorous, healthy", then I shortened his name to be a little more unique and it came to Vale (pronounced Vah-ley). His full name is Vale DeLuca. Zahar on the other hand was named by my lovely friend @klywrites so you'd be more inclined to ask her why lol. I just really liked the name? Zahar's full name is Zahar Bista. Bista is Nepali.

Zahar's favorite hobby is drawing/design. He's a fashion major in college so he finds a lot of the artistic aspects really enjoyable even when it's just for fun.

Zahar's pet peeve is Vale's inability to separate himself from his work. He HATES with a passion how obsessed Vale is with his job. It's uncomfortable for Zahar. He's struggled with coming to terms with the work Vale does and the morality of it. Could Zahar do it? Absolutely not. He wouldn't hurt a fly, not to say he wouldn't defend himself if it came down to it. But I digress. He also hates greedy people who don't share their wealth to those who need it. He donates a lot of money Vale makes out of his jobs, sort of like a way to repent for how it's made.

Something he feels strongly about his making his work accessible. He knows "high fashion" isn't typically available to the public or poor, so he makes what he makes to be available to more people. He's size inclusive, ranging from a XS to a 6XL. He's openly queer in his work, so he hopes other queer people feel comfortable wearing his clothes, his pricing is like Walmart priced for the most part, so he's in every store imaginable. Shocker with how that makes him successful. He uses models of every color, size, disability, etc. He's passionate about his work.

Zahar originally got along great with his family until he came out as bisexual. His parents think he's just trying to "fit in" in the fashion world to be more successful and that it's a phase he'll grow out of. They also think it's to spite them. SO. He doesn't speak to his family unless absolutely necessary. He's an only child, so he never knew what it was like to grow up with siblings. He had childhood friends and such, but it's not entirely the same to him.

Zahar's sin his allowing Vale to continue working the way he does and benefitting from his work. Like I mentioned earlier, Zahar struggles with the morality of Vale and his job. You can often find Zahar in his office meditating on it. (Not that anyone is aware of what he's meditating on) Sometimes, if you were to get him drunk enough, he'd say his greatest sin in loving someone like Vale (shhhhh don't tell Vale).

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!! This was so fun to do. I'll do an actual character reference sheet for the boys eventually.

2007 Summer - All Symbol Headcanons please uwu

| Send me a symbol and I will write a headcanon about… For multimuse blogs, please specify!

Summer's turn, I'm working on a redesign of her so expect that in the next five to ten. Summer an oc type I haven't made in a while purely a child for two characters I love XD Since shes oc here a fun fact on how I go about her. I sort of take from IDWS Casey (ironic considering her bio father is also Hun now pft) and Boom studios Raph to shape her personality so she would still stand out on her own but have their traits in a sense.

𝓕 : My muse’s handwriting. (Is it good, bad, difficult to decipher, do they prefer writing by hand or with the help of some form of machine, e.t.c.)

"Nope 'hats parta my name gotta 'ave it"

Not sure what the bigger surprise is here that summer's hand writing can be read or that shes a somewhat decent speller. so it's pretty easy to decipher what she spells and such. Summer write larges though matching her her more out going personality with a space space between them because she prefers to have company of others around her. Funny considering her Dad's but maybe not also for this reason Summer dose not like being alone. The small loops she sometimes uses over rounded or pointed ends also is to say she is close to a few selected people considering her family this very well. The hockey stick I feel is self explained Summer got hockey fever from Casey she will never be cured uwu

Why did I start making these personality analysis off hand writing now? I felt it game me more to say for these sections haha

✈ : My muse and traveling. (If they do it frequently and why, if they never left their home town, e.t.c.)

"I only really been 'round I guess? why go anywhere else 'his the best state afta all..an' I ain't ever steppin' a foot in Jersey." Summers no where near as well traveled as Raphael or even Casey I feel shes only been around New York. From going around herself to being with her Dad's or other family members. Not to mention traveling to play against other schools as well. Northampton may be the furthest since her Dad's will take here there for family trips even inviting everyone along. But Summer will not go to Jersey her New York blood forbids it u-u

✿ : My muse and nature. (If they are an ‘outdoorsy type’, like the sound of bird’s singing, if they have never set foot in a forest, e.t.c.)

"I 'ike to help out when he go campin' an' such. I mostly love winter though dad's shoulda named me Winter. Cause the lakes freeze up and we, all three of us, can go out an' jus' do stuff. Like playing hockey! even if Dad more aims to tackle pop's to the ground." Summer loves the outdoors, when they do go out to the farm house she is never inside even with her being a city kid she loves getting to climb the tress, she loves going to the docks with Raph or Ariel as well. But as mention she kind of favors winter for the simply fact all three of them can hang out since Raph's able to walk around a bit more sure he will year round but Winter draws less attention his way.

☼ : My muse’s first memory. (Where it was, who was with them, how this memory makes them feel, e.t.c.)

"hmmm let me 'hink a sec, uhhh oh! my first live hockey game! Pops even gotta tag along with Dad an' I!" Summer was doomed from the start to become a puck head nah I kid. It's well known how much Casey love hockey and how big a fan of it he even is. Casey is the reason Raph loves it even though not a puck head himself since Raph likes all sports about the same I feel. Summer has taken after Casey a lot in making hockey more than a thing she watches. Casey insited she had to see a live game and it was easy to bring Raph along though I can't imagine Casey wanting Raph to miss out of that moment either. Hockey has for sure become a thing the three of them share a love for however. I can just see them going all out for the games to points they have full hockey related talks between them that it feels like they are speaking a whole other language. That apartment is roaring with life during game nights for sure.

Summers memory of her first live game is special for these reasons, getitng to be with her dad's seeing a hockey game in person I like to think she managed to catch a hockey puck thrown by who would become her favorite player of all time. She still has the Jersey from then now its just used to collect signatures from the players she wants to frame it once it filled up.

☙ : My muse’s favourite food. (Bonus: A memory, be it good or bad, associated with said food.)

"anything Aun'ie Von or Mikey makes cause..may dad's can' cook."

Anything edible with favor that is brunt u-u look Casey and Raph try their best somehow Casey fended for himself for years and I'm sure Raph had to help in the kitchen here and there and not just licking bowls clean. But they can not cook with out burning it to some point. Summer best meals are anything Mikey or Von make because it's not burnt and Summer didn't know food could not be burned u-u but if I was to give her a favorite food for sure? I feel shes so true to her love of hockey she would say hotdogs from conssesions stands specifically. All-beef hot dogs are topped with a homemade onion relish, sauerkraut, and brown mustard because New York. She'll settle for street carts to though.

♬ : My muse and music. (What type of music they like listening to and in what context, what music they would never listen to, e.t.c.)

"I love music! I 'ike rock n roll mostly but I also like Rap, Metal, Hardcore, Punk. I kinda of 'ike pop music as well. I sort 'ike country too"

Summer love music she learned her Dad's both knew how play and wanted to learn to play as well where they both play a guitar Summer prefers the bass her self. Which requires a different set of skill and knowledge to play. She just prefers the lower octave that comes from the sound of it. And to Summer it makes sense since her Dad's play the guitar she should play the bass. Summer love trying to play her favorite songs to practice it's maybe the only time this girl sits still and isn't causing trouble and something she is near as dedicated about as she is Hockey. Once she has a computer she uses it to download sheet music.

Summer also likes to play out songs from the little mermaid for her sister Ariel it's kind of how she learned to play when she first got her guitar, likely because she has heard those songs so many times it made it sort of easy to work with.

Summer of course geners are based of her Dad's own like but she likes pop music herself and has a guilty pleasure for country music. She sort of just likes music in general. Shes not much for classical but she can still appreciate it. Music has become something of any outlet for her, depending on her mood there is just always something that fits right. If shes feeling sad she likes to listen to somber songs, when she practicing hockey she prefer rock and such. I wouldn't claim she is a good singing but she can at least carry a tune. She has a radio strapped to her bike when she rides it she will sign to the songs uncaring if anyone listening.

When she was a baby Raph used to slightly sing to her in that deep raspy voice of his and it always calmed her down or helped her drift to sleep. Summer as a young kid could still get Raph to do it of course he feels a tad embarrassed when others are around but summer don't care she wants to hear him sing. Of course, this doesn't change even as she becomes a teen and some she will still ask if shes really low and down and Raph just gives in every time.

Summer also love to make covers of songs and change their genre taking pop songs and making them into rock ballads ect. Of course this is all instrumental.

Her all time favorite is Joan Jet and kind of sets her style Bad Reputation being her favorite song.

↺ : My muse and the past. (Do they live in the past and struggle to let go of past grievances, or move on more easily, is there anything in their past they want to forget, e.t.c.)

"..I used ta not care 'bout my past but..Cause I didn' know 'bout so I guess 'm figurin' 'hat out." Before Summer didn't care about where she came from or who was behind her birth. Not many adopted kids do worry about this in contrast to my other adoptee oc Nina who did it's because Summer always had one home and one set of parents and a whole family even to turn to. So she never had that insincerity in her life to Summer they gave her up and she got a family thanks to it. Soon though Summer would learn who those people were she dosne't know who Gabs is herself but she knows who Hun is and that rocked her and will be something she struggles with for a time even going so far as to dye her hair the same shade as Casey's. Sure she will worry that Casey and Raph will hate her now because of where she came from. Of course this is just a childish fear that gets sorted out because Raph and Casey have made it clear they see Summer as their own kid.

To summer if your good and turn bad you can be good again and same goes the other way around. If you were bad turn good you can be bad again. Much like Raph she feels the whole lepard's don't change their spots. It's why she can understand here family reservations about Bishop but why she didn't hold Mikey's betrayal against him. Which has extended to herself if she feels this is ture then that must mean she is bad too because she come from a bad person. Learning Casey isn't any different of course, does help Summer try and learn her lesson on the mater. But it is still hard for her to get over the fact of her being related to Hun. It extends to her not wanting to meet Gabs either. Which may be cold on Summers part (I personally don't think it is I feel kids have a right on if they want a parent in their life or not, from personal experience.)

☾ : My muse and sleep. (How much they sleep, how much they wish to sleep, if there is something that never fails to put them to sleep, e.t.c.)

"hmm 'ike sleep good cause ya get tried but sleepin' means I don' getta do things."

Lets just say Summer sometimes sacrifices sleep to stay up watching movies or videos all night long that she sends to Ariel mostly the cursed annoying or weird cryptic stuff

✧ : My muse and art. (If they have an artistic side or not and why, favourite artist if they have one, e.t.c.)

" 'ike drawin'? not my 'hing much."

When it comes to Art music is for sure summers art outlet. As I mentioned before she loves it and even plays and listens to just about a little of everything. She surprisingly pretty serious about it she knows cords and notes she can read sheet music and even has been learning to write her own. Shes not much for lyrics her self but she can come up with a tone and mood pretty easily. It's also how she connects to how she feeling when she has no idea how to handle what she is going through.

❃ : My muse and social media. (If the muse is/would be on social media and why/why not, their general opinion on it, e.t.c.)

"Oh yeah course I use it, 'm mean who ain't on social media?"

Summer I feel has a tumblr but she dosen't personally use it she only got it to follow her sister and send her stupid annoying anon on asks but Ariel knows it her. Worse when she shows Ariel the ask shes gonna send to make sure it makes sense. She isn't much into tumble herself it's not much here scene. She is on twitter a lot mostly to follow news on hockey and her favorite players. Often she live tweets during games or shes retweeting Ariels cover song post so people can see how talented her sister is.

Summer also has Instagram she has two accounts a private one for her own photos its mostly for her self mikey at least I can say follows it he would have it when he gets older. If any other family has one she lets them follow. its mostly just family pictures her and her Dad's mostly sometimes she sneaks pictures of Casey and Raph being gross and cute together. Or it her and Ariel selfies decorated with a ton of stickers and such.

she also has a public account that she uses for music posting when reels got introduced. And sometimes with do live streams when she wants to show something she wrote herself. She takes lifestyle photos as well for her public account at the rink or around the city even sometimes.

I feel she has snap chat but its only used with her team mates.

✉ : My muse and others. (If they social and outgoing or more introverted, and why. If they prefer communicating with others face to face or in written form, e.t.c.).

"well not many people get me I guess?"

Summer, has a history of dealing with bullying for a short time as a kid. Because well she was wired, she was passionate about hockey and turtles she didn't act like the other girls in her classes. She didn't want to just swing or chase the boys on the playground she wanted to play like ninja and such but the boys thought it was weird and wouldn't play with her either. Often she teased and called turtle girl, kids even starting to make rumors that she ate turtle eggs down at the beach. Summer tried to get along with them she really did but she never wanted to give up the things she likes because her family never thought anything wrong of her but maybe something was wrong with her. She kept the bullying mostly to herself only really telling her sister about it because she just couldn't understand why they were so cruel to her. The bully did start to get physical having rocks thrown at her one day at school so of course it came to the attention of school staff meaning dad now knew and she was in pure panic over her dad's learning about it.

Summer dose get move to another school after some time, a new school new kids and such, of course it meant she was the new kid she did try to lay low hoping to avoid the same issues happening again. Her new school having a hockey team it was boys only but because of this she was allowed to try out and she made it being the first girl on the team. Which did wonders for social life if anything it just reaffirmed her love for hockey her team mates were pretty cool and the following year more girls started to try out to join the team as well.

Summer is very outgoing she loves meeting new people and holds no fear in starting conversations with them. Coming from a block where everyone knows each others mad her a social butterfly growing up around mutants leaves her with out much fear on non humans creatures as well. She doesn't have a lot of friends but she is friendly and people like her enough often they get intimated by her more rough and tumble self but those who get past it she shes just kind of a dumb harmless idiot. With a temper issue cause she will get into fights Casey showed her how to hit the best with a hockey stick after all.

▶ : My muse and level of education. (If the muse has some form of education, what education they perhaps wish they had, e.t.c.).

"blaaah I hate school."

Summer is a human girl in America meaning she has to go to school. She dose go through the required education levels getting her high school degree of course and despite my jokes about it Summer dose in fact go to community college at least. she earns a bachelor's degree because Summer wants to make sure she can get a decent job. Something that can assure she will have it for a long time so she isn't job hunting. Because she needs to be able to take care of her Dad's when they become old men. uwu

She gets it in music actually and winds up becoming a music teach well doubling as the coach for the school hockey team because she wanted to have both things she loves.

◐ : My muse and animals. (If they like animals and treat them well, do not care for them at all, e.t.c.).

"Be werid if I didn' 'ike animals? I mean I got turtles in my family?"

Summer isn't like most who likes cats or dogs ect she likes things likes Rats, reptiles and to Raph's dislike bugs. She of course loves Cat's and dogs still shes just more for the other animals, often as a kid she used to put bugs in her pockets and refer to them as he babies and yes Ra[h freaked out every time a bug crawled over him when picking her up.

❒ : My muse and gifts. (If they are good/bad at finding gifts, good/bad at receiving gifts, good/bad at wrapping gifts, e.t.c.)

"I'm the best at gittin' presents." I feel Summer would be a pretty good gift giver in truth in that she will not give up on getting that perfect gift for someone often second hand bought or a lucky find on her end. But damn it she's not giving up till she gets her hands on it.

☘ : My muse’s relation with their family. (If they speak with each other and how much, if they are close or estranged, e.t.c.).

"I jus' wanna be worth the family 'hat found me an' took me in"

Summer loves her family theres no doubt about it she binds herself to it however she can. And sort of puts to much pressure on herself because of it she just wants to make them proud of her she wants to right by them. She doesn't so much life for herself as she try to more be there for them. There is no real reason behind this on her end more subconscious if anything. It's most notable with her family life. Summer sort of takes up a nurturing role towards her Dad's I've shown this a bit in that Summer will openly snatch Raph's cigerates away from him and put them out. When Summer's around them least as a teen I feel she will limit there drinking to at least two cans. Summer learned to cook from Mikey and Von and takes over cooking responsibilities from her dad who never should be in the kitchen. Reducing Casey to getting the shopping list at least. Oddly enough shes pretty good at planing out the week meals. If she goes to spend the weekend with her sister than she will make up extra food through the week to make sure her Dad's are fed when shes gone.

She sort of extends this towards her sister as well in anyway she can be part of something she will try, like how she over excitability hypes Ariels covers on twitter so to help draw attention her way. Summer I feel shows this best when it comes to Bishop where Summer maybe should be on the other side considering Bishop hurt her pops and even Casey has a dislike towards them because of what happened to Raph as well she support Ariel even telling her it was okay she was happy about Leo seeming to have feelings for Bishop. Summer is very close to Ariel sure they are cousins but she has never not refereed to her as her sister. Even seeing Donatello as a third dad and Von as her mother. They are just near about on the same level as her Dads of course she she is obviously closest to them.

Von is of course her go to for girl problems even if she grossed out by this stuff and wish she didn't have to do it. Von also is someone she can turn to when she just needs advice because they share things in common she sort of took on a trait from Raph that she likes to hide out with her aunt when she needs to just get away because her aunts kind of outside of things herself so it give her a space in a sense.

Don i haven't really explored their relationship but as a baby summer had a habit of taking Raph's mask off she sort of used his green eye as way to know he was there, often she try the same if casey wore his hockey mask. Summer was very fussy as a baby so only a few were allowed to hold her and Don was one of those few often because he has green in his own eyes. Summer has just seen him as like another dad in her mind someone she can turn to when Casey and raph aren't around she find him calming to be around. Despite her destructive behavior she dose know to behave in his lab and around anything he's working on. She has no clue half of what he says but he holds her attetion in a way most don't sometimes she recall something he said and it helps her in her class, im pretty sure she asks him for help with school pretty often because it only make sense when uncle Donnie explains it over her stupid mean teachers uwu

I made a remark on Mikey's but i' expand here I feel Summer it sort of like Mikey in that she is has a lot of empathy in her for others. And I feel this is something she and Mikey connect on because of it. It's often why she so more concerned for others around her and tends to over look herself even why the mess with Hun being her biological sperm donor hurts her because how dose that effect her Dad over herself. It's why she can understand what Mikey did and why she never lashed out like her sister dose. Mikeys kind of who she turns to when she just needs to talk to a non-parent filling in a more older sibling role for Summer. She sometimes even refers to him as being her older sib here and there and Mikey sometimes plays along with it mostly to annoy raph and Casey.

Splinter is grandpa she loves him and behaves for him the best. He was sort of her first teacher and I feel she often looks back on his lessons confused and not sure she follows his advise all that well it's very summer interrupted. On subject of granparents she is also close to her Grandma on Casey side. I feel like she spent a lot of time around the women and shape her personality in maybe the worse way of not giving much of a shit. She will take her death pretty hard because she was very close to the women its almost hard to understand she can die even if thats dumb.

When it comes to her Dad she of course is close to them both and share many of both their traits even forcing herself to talk like them when she was just a kid. but she is closer to Casey somethign Raph points out when stating she looks up to him which is why. Everyone has thier heros and Summer's is Casey. She's well aware he meant to be scary to some but summer sees nothing but her soft marshmellow dad that she can get away with murder with (Raph isn't any different and summer dose take advantage of this with both) Summer just wants to be like Casey shes wants to be someone others count on and can relie on she wants to be able to do that for others as well. She dosen't need a flashy life just one surrounded by her loved ones with the abilty to take care of them. Casey is someone she just never wants to disspoint so she often too hard on herself because she sort of set her Dad on a pedstool

Find the Word Tag!

I was tagged by both @fearofahumanplanet and @inkspellangel (you absolute dears, I appreciate you both <3) so I'll be combining their words into one past!

Jane's words were: grave, essay, cat, tidy, tax and Koumori's words were: hate, understand, bridge, against & people (and of course, for every word I don't have, I'll give a fun fact)

cw: slight mention of someone dying but that's all! fairly tame one this time around

Everything under the cut per usual <3

GRAVE

Even though Google Docs told me I had all these words (except this one actually), apparently I don't so here's my first fun fact ft the dumby thing: I use Google Docs as a backup place (although once upon a time I only wrote here) and I write using Quoll Writer which is my absolute love

ESSAY

Since I don't have this either the next fun fact is: I used to be able to pump out 40-60 pg stories without really plotting a thing. Now I'm lucky to write a couple pages flying by the seat of my pants haha

CAT

“I know, I know. I wasn’t planning on bringing him with us. I just have never seen a baby cat before.” He put the kitten on the ground and gave it a pet.

TIDY

What is up with all these words I don't have??? Anyways, next fun fact: I have never made a playlist for a single one of my WIPs, OCs, and/or ships. I genuinely don't know how to find songs that fit

TAX

MAN WHAT THE HECK. Here's the last fun fact because apparently I write using very limited word choice: Speaking of ships, I'm a hopeless romantic at heart so I write a lot of romance sub-plots and I tend to ship a lot of characters together, regardless if they end up together! But don't fret my aro/ace beloveds, I also have characters who don't end up with anyone at because they are also aro/ace or because I find that they're better off without someone (;

HATE

Allieret was unamused with his question, the wound from the memory still fresh. The man seemed to take no notice of his discomfort and continued forward, beckoning Allieret to follow him when he saw that he was not. “You don’t hate me.” He stated after they had walked for a while. He turned towards Allieret when he gave no response. Allieret stopped in his place and sigh.

UNDERSTAND

“What is so wrong with Latin? Shouldn’t all boys your age know at least some?” Caeles stopped and gave him a glare. “Not all boys my age know, clearly. But that’s beside the point, isn’t it? What’s the point in learning Latin? That’s the part I don’t understand.” He closed his mouth before eventually murmuring out, “It’s not like you need to know it in order to do magic.”

BRIDGE

If he had to describe it accurately, it was something along the lines of ancient and modern architecture. It had the roughness of age and with its high stone walls lining along a river bank and a large stone bridge passing over, it seemed like something out of a fairytale. But the smooth and shiny look of everything and the stone platforms that stepped down towards the river held the sleek modernness of cities he had only been to a handful of times.

AGAINST

The crunching of leather shoes against broken asphalt returned Crash to the reality before him. He was dying and now standing before him, water dripping from the brim of their hat as they stared down at his face, was none other than the one who had killed him time and time again.

PEOPLE

Daye tried hurrying back towards his apartment but with people beginning to clog the walkways from the lunch rush, Daye was finding it difficult to quickly move past all of them.

I'm leaving this an open tag!

Your words are: sky, card(s), home, through, and just

#tag game #find the word tag

Silver and Vic are incredibly similar; both are reserved, calm, laid-back, quiet and drowsy. They could be siblings! Even the ahoge matches

Haha rip Sebek there’s two of them now lol

They don’t have any strong opinions on each other; ‘’They are nice.’’

They don’t interact a lot. They will greet each other in school halls and sometimes talk when they’re with Lilia or Sebek.

Silver will thank Vic for looking after Sebek and also apologize

When together, Vic will look after Silver so he doesn’t fall asleep at innapropriate times

She doesn’t know why, but being with Silver brings her peace and comfort. Comfortable silence is their main form of interaction

😈 What relationship does your oc have with Lilia?

Lilia immediately thought: I’m adopting her. She’s my child now.

Lilia knows she’s shy and socially awkward, so he will gently try to make her more comfortable in whatever environment she’s in, and encourage her to step out of her shell

He gives her full support!! He will boost her self-esteem, invite her to hang out in light music club sometimes, randomly accompany her when she’s doing chores alone

In light music club, both like dressing up together!

Of course Lilia is very patient and won’t force her to do anything if she’s uncomfortable

Because he’s very caring, Vic quickly opens up to him. She will ramble to him about her passions and worries, Lilia loves hearing her talk about her world or herself and fully supports her hobbies

Lilia’s fatherly senses are very keen with her. He likes to pamper her a lot and feels slightly nostalgic because she reminds him of Silver when he was younger

He’s grateful that Vic gets along with Sebek and Silver and encourages the three to hang out together! (It never happens because Sebek refuses.) Making his sons get along with their new adopted sister

Lilia is actually one of the few people in NRC who Vic can actually be true and vulnerable with (she doesn’t like appearing weak infront of her friends.) He will lend his shoulder for her to cry on

Fic Recs (cause it's always nice to give a shout out and get people into things I'm into rn)

[The Magnus Archives] (I recently finished the podcast and I fell into a hole for a while so here you go)

Sing a Song of Sixpence by Kaiel

Ship: Jon/Martin

In which Jonathan Sims is a Siren, and he fails to notice any new abilities granted to him by the position of Archivist. Or really anything about the Entities at all.

Takes place in season 1 featuring Jonah Magnus’s slow decent into madness

(The new mythology interwoven with tma's worldbuilding is so freaking good and I love how all the characters change and develop because of these changes. Also, f you Elias)

Along Came a Spider by Dribbledscribbles

Ship: implied Jon/Martin

Sasha James is the Archivist, as expected. Martin Blackwood is menaced by Jane Prentiss, as expected. Elias Bouchard weaves his web, as expected.

All goes as it should.

At least until something calling itself Jonathan Sims steps in.

(Web!Jon in this makes me want to weep, it's so freaking good. A pretty long, very excellent oneshot on what could've happened if Jon got taken by the web when he was a kid. And Sasha as the Archivist is ALWAYS so cool, we love her in this house.)

A Break in the Clouds by Ash_Rabbit

“I’m eight.” the kid sniffs as if eight was any different from four, maybe not an unspeakable horror then, just a regular horror. “And I heard that the Magnus Institute deals with-” his little nose scrunches, cute. “-spooky things.”

“Do you have a-” he cracks a grin, and then rethinks it as small hands tighten against their burden.”-spooky thing to deliver?” gods he hopes not, it’s bad enough when adults walk in and lay out all of their baggage, but for a child-

“There’s a spider in this book.” the kid says solemnly, raising his textbook sized parcel. “It ate Evan Pritchard.” a bloody fucking Leitner. Of course an eight year old would find a murder spider book. “This seemed like the best place to bring it.”

(I never thought about what the Original Elias could've been like AND NOW I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF THIS FIC. I LOVE HIM, HE'S COMPLEX AND HE CARES AND JON CARES AND THEY BOTH CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER. THIS IS THE CONTENT I WANT, OMG. Also, Jon being even smaller than usual is adorable, so cute. No wonder Elias wants to hug him, a LOT.)

See the Line where the Sky meets the Sea by The_Floating_World

Ship: Jon/Martin, Jon/Oliver Banks

When Jon is a child he looks into the infinite abyss of space. The Vast looks back into him.

(One of my all time fave fics in this fandom, no questions asked. I have reread this three times and am open to doing it again, god. Vast!Jon, such a concept. It's written so beautifully and the relationships Jon develops, so good. ugh. My heart. Please please read.)

Sweet As Roses by Prim_the_Amazing

Ship: Jon/Martin

“Come in, Martin,” he says, not looking up from his notes.

“Hi, Jon,” he says, and Jon stops writing at the sound of his voice. “We’re out of the green tea, but we’ve got lemon?”

Jon looks at him. Martin smiles at him in his usual tentative way as he sets the mug of tea down on Jon’s desk. Heat spikes so sharply in his gut that he twitches with it.

“Thank you, Martin,” he says, mouth dry, and he stands up.

“Oh,” he says, sounding almost surprised. He smiles again. “No-- no problem-- um, what are you--”

Jon takes Martin by the shoulders, leans up on the tips of his toes, and kisses him.

(You have no idea how much I howled through this fic, my god. *buries face in hands* The number of times I wanted to cry from sheer hilarity and horror reading this good lord.)

Things Could Always Be Worse by theOestofOCs

Ship: Jon/Martin, Georgie/Melanie

Sometimes, the most horrifying thing of all is what might have been.

Somewhere, Jon could swear he heard a crowd laughing.

Or: in which Jonathan Sims is forced to swap places with his alternate self—a tall, chivalrous hero extraordinaire, who knows neither fear nor nuance—and is sent to the aggressively straight alternate universe the Magnus Archives was never meant to be.

“Whatever place this is,” Jon announced, “I just want to be sure it knows I hate it.”

(I will say this once, THIS IS THE MOST CURSED THING IVE EVER READ EVER. Like holy hell. I can't believe this thing exists. please read it oh please please please)

[Supernatural]

heard from your mother (she don't recognize you) by Schmuzz

Ship: Dean/Cas, Jessica/Sam

A man named Cas wakes up in 2003 with no memories, but he's able to piece together a few things:

1. Supernatural creatures exist, and most of them will hurt innocent civilians if he doesn't stop them; 2. He has abilities that no human hunter should have, but he knows enough about human hunters to keep that to himself, and finally; 3. He keeps running into another hunter named Dean Winchester, who seems to be about as lonely as he is if he's willing to put up with those former facts long enough to help Cas unravel the mystery of who (or what) he really is.

For his part, Dean's still (not) dealing with Sam's departure to Stanford, and figures distracting himself with a bit of mystery and intrigue is as harmless as it gets, right? Right.

(THE fic I'm most into right now, been following this from the very start and it's AMAZING. Cas has agency and is making friends and S1 Dean is growing out of John's influence and is becoming a Person and the both of them first being friends then more. The slow burn as their relationship develops, SO GOOD. SO SO DAMN GOOD. *screams* Seriously one of the best spn fics I've read in a long, long time.)

anamnesis by cenotaphy

Ships: Castiel/Dean, Sam/Eileen

Chuck is depowered, Jack is the new god, and the world is free. Dean and Sam get into the Impala and chase down the miles on an endless highway, and their story is finally, finally their own to follow. At least, that's what Dean tells himself. But the diners and motels and painted interstate lines are blurring together and the smallest details keep catching at his brain like tiny fishhooks and he can't quite shake the feeling that not everything is exactly as it should be.

* Fix-it/alternate series finale. Canon-compliant through the end of 15.19.

(THIS IS THE FIC THAT GOT ME THROUGH THE FINALE OKAY. WHY COULDN'T THIS HAVE BEEN CANON. It's Disturbing and honestly plot-wise this makes more sense. Why couldn't we have had this. *screams*)

[Avatar: The Last Airbender]

where the stars do not take sides by WitchofEndor

Ship: Sokka/Zuko

When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.

Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.

(The fact one of the tags in this fic is, "Sibling Dynamic: Fucked Up But Wholesome" should give you an idea what this fic is like. Chaotic as HELL and I just love Azula here, she loves Zuko so much in her messed up way and Zuko loves her back in the exact same way lol. It's batshit and I am Here For This.)

[Naruto]

Eclipse by AislingRoisin (JayBird345) for HybrisAnaideia

Ship: Nara Shikaku/OFC

"In life, it's easier to remain stagnant and wallow in your troubles. But life isn't merely about continued existence, nor is it meant to be gone through alone."

(This is a fic that's slept on and I NEED people to read this. A self-insert fic that I find really interesting in its approach and the worldbuilding for the post-third war shinobi world is fantastic. I feel like there's a certain pattern with self-insert fics, not that is a detriment in any way to how much I enjoy them, so this fic feels fresh to me in a way I haven't read in a while. I am waiting eagerly for this to get updated! Please read!)

On Freedom and Other Formalities by iaso

Ship: Kakashi/Genma/OFC

When push comes to shove, Hiwa Inuzuka doesn't go down easy. Reborn into a new, dangerous world? She puts her past life as a spy to work. Thrown into a war? Hiwa does her duty, for Konoha. And when she's forced into an arranged marriage? All there is to do is beat them to the punch and get married first. Thankfully, Genma Shiranui is willing to lend a hand. Literally. SI/OC

(Listen, LISTEN, it's about the slow burn, the longing, the communication (it both has and hasn't and isn't THAT great??), the messy way you fit three very different people together, it's so freaking good! Also, Kakashi is so Chaotic here this is my fave characterization of him, you can't change my mind. And Genma is a Good Boi who is Doing His Best, along with the Self-insert character who I LOVE SO MUCH, SHE'S FANTASTIC FNEIWOPAF. Sped past this fic in the speed of light, I could not stop reading!)(Honestly, read all of the author's fics, they're all really REALLY good!)

Building a Castle by WhisperingDarkness

Without needing anyone to tell her, Sakura knew that talking to someone no-one else could see or hear would make her weird. It would draw the bad kind of attention to her, something people could make fun of her for.

She didn’t like being weird, but she did like the voice. Her inner voice was helpful and it was a part of her that had always been there. The idea of it not being there would have been so much weirder than anything else.

It was during her first year at the Academy that Sakura realised the voice was not in her head at all, but that it came from a cloudy shape floating next to her.

(Basically a short-ish retelling of Hikaru no Go. Only with more Shogi and Nara and Ninja's)

(Sakura can see ghosts (I'm noticing this is a popular trope for her) and it's really cute haha! Her relationship with Tobirama is sweet and I just enjoyed reading this so much.)

[The Magicians]

So Long (And Thanks For All The Books) by IncompleteSentanc (Erava)

Ships: Quentin/Eliot, James/Julia, Quentin/Margo/Eliot

When Quentin is told Julia wasn't admitted to Brakebills, he realizes he has a drastic decision in front of him. If he tells Julia about magic, he'll have his mind wiped as well as hers. But he can't just leave her behind, either. He can't lose his best friend, and he can't let her life a life with her magical potential stolen away from her.

So he makes a third choice.

(Really, and I mean REALLY well-done canon divergent fic, this is the Quentin & Julia friendship fic I have been looking for forever. It explores so much of what could've happened and I just love Quentin here, I really really do. Characterization done so right. I also recommend the author's other works too. Been a follower of them for a long time, they're great.)

[Game of Thrones]

The Road to Victory by writing_as_tracey

Too late in preparing for the Night King and the Long Night, the last stand at Winterfell is close to falling. Bran takes desperate measures to ensure victory, and Jon, Sansa, and Arya pay the price for it in a time unfamiliar to them, on the cusp of another war. [GoT, time-travel fix it]

(I swear, this fic made me laugh so many times, all the Stark are BAMF and fantastic, and Rhaegar gets Wrecked lol. It's crack btw, and the plot goes in directions you'll never guess and it's amazing hahaha!)

[Haikyuu!!] (I am very very late to the fandom but here I am)

Ballare (To Dance) by MidnightSparks

Ship: Iwaizumi Hajime/Kageyama Tobio/Oikawa Tooru, and platonic Kageyama & Kentarou (really love their friendship)

Kageyama’s first love is volleyball. His second, however, is ballet.

In one world, Kageyama Tobio is left behind by his parents. In this world, the existence of soulbonds keeps Kageyama’s parents in Miyagi and leaves Kageyama in the care of his grandma and grandpa.

(In which soulmates exist and that changes everything and nothing at the same time.)

(*buries face in hands* I have fallen for this ship so hard and I can't get out fudge me. I understand now. Their DYNAMICS FIEWONPAF)

Kings of Tomorrow by bokubroya (liarielle)

Ship: Kageyama Tobio/Oikawa Tooru

On the eve of Tobio’s 16th birthday, he counts down the seconds to midnight, and emerges with Oikawa Tooru’s name on his wrist.

It’s been two years since then, and Tobio thought they had an understanding. A silent, never spoken about understanding that this thing between them is nothing, and they’re going to pretend it doesn’t exist.

Of course, it’s just like Oikawa to change the game and leave Tobio wondering what comes next.

(I am WEAK for soulmate fics between these two, I don't even really like soulmate fics half the times what is WRONG WITH ME-)(Please suffer with me, I'm begging you. Its a good fic, thumbs up.)

[Crossover]

Honey and Magic by JustARatherVerySillyWriter, White_Squirrel for Super Carlin Brothers

Fandoms: Matilda (yeah you read that right), Harry Potter

Everyone knew Matilda was a rather extraordinary child, but even she didn't know she was a witch. Matilda Honey receives her Hogwarts letter in the year of the Triwizard Tournament, and soon, she will leave her unique mark on the magical world.

(Do I even need to explain how amazing it is to have Matilda in the wizarding world? And Matilda is a HUFFLEPUFF AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL THIS FIC IS GREAT PLEASE READ!!!)

An Eye for an Eye by DpsMercy

Fandoms: The Magnus Archives, Welcome to Night Vale

In which Jonathan Sims is not from the UK but instead, if you took his origins and turned them sideways twice then flipped them over, he technically would be from the US, the town of Night Vale specifically. Elias can’t do shit about it and gets a headache and slowly creeping madness instead.

(Look, I know probably everyone has read this because if they haven't, what have you been DOING with your lives??? Jon interning at Night Vale is Incredible, nothing phases this man, it's Delightful. I laughed so many times reading this, I'm not even kidding right now. Read or perish.)

The Favour by R_Cookie

Fandoms: Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Ship: Original Percival Graves/Harry Potter

Percival is ten years old when his grandfather tries to tell him that he's ensured the greatness of the Graves legacy for him, that he ought to be eternally grateful - but the explanation is hijacked by a stranger who manages to intimidate Chester Graves with an ease never seen before.

or: Hadrian (Harry) Potter is the Master of Death, who grants Graves a boon. Nobody could have known that the Deathly Hallows didn't turn you so much into the 'Master of Death' as into the anthropomorphic personification of Death. And so, Death becomes Percival's guardian angel, and Percival does not spit out his cereal.

(Look, I don't know how I stumbled back into the FBAWTFT fandom either, it just happened and I'm grateful for that. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found this amazing fic. Their relationship is slow and strange and I just love how Percival is characterized here. Also, one of the tag promises that it deviates from canon so I am really, really excited for that! XD)

baby that's what i do by natanije

Fandoms: Naruto, Katekyou Hitman Reborn!

"Are you telling me," Hidan exclaims, incredulous, "that you collect money all this time to give to orphans?!"

Kakuzu pauses. He blinks a few times.

"Huh. I guess I do."

(Tsuna reincarnates as Kakuzu and it's HILARIOUS. HE'S SUCH A MOM HAHAHA)

“You did not just bring a fruitcake into my home.”

taehyung x reader (oc) genre: fluff word count: 1.6K

a/n: hi lovelies! I tend to just start writing my Tae fics with little plot in mind and see where it takes me and that’s what this is a result of. I wasn’t sure about it but it’s been both Chlo and Mads approved so I’ll trust them haha. Tae comes to Peaches’/reader’s place with a fruitcake and that’s basically it lmao. I hope you all enjoy and thanks for reading! :))

SITTING on the floor of the living room, Yeontan in your lap, you spread the pink watercolor paint across the paper as you hummed along to the music playing from your phone. It was a fairly new hobby still, but you were trying to experiment with all sorts of art mediums.

Your humming was cut off by your own small yelp when the front door suddenly burst open, your gaze snapping from the partially painted sheet to your boyfriend beaming at you brightly. The quirk of your lips in response to the man was natural as Yeontan bolted to greet his dad.

“Peaches,” Taehyung breathed out happily, your eyes widening as you watched him expectantly. “Tannie,” he greeted the pup, kneeling down to pet the dog as Yeontan wiggled with unbridled excitement. “Peaches,” he said again, standing back up to look at you.

“What is happening?” You asked curiously, a small giggle leaving you as he nodded to the kitchen before walking away. “Tae,” you called out, quickly standing up to follow him, watching Yeontan trot along behind Taehyung.

When you reached the kitchen, your boyfriend was holding the dog as he stood at the island, his expression gleeful and adorable. “Why are you in such a good mood?” You asked, searching his frame before your eyes fell to countertop, in which a particularly festive dessert sat. “You did not just bring a fruitcake into my home,” you stated bluntly, though you were mostly kidding.

“Have you ever had a fruitcake before?” He asked, you quirking your head at the baked good sitting on the counter.

“Unfortunately,” you replied, looking up just in time to observe Taehyung as his eyes widened adorably, making him look innocent. He was innocent. Innocently ignorant to the horrors of fruitcakes. “Tae, baby, why do you have a fruitcake?”

“Are they that bad?” He asked in shock, looking down at the cake, lifting the plastic wrap that was draped over it.

“They aren’t good,” you chuckled. “Dearest, where did you get this?”

“Your neighbor,” he answered, still staring at the cake curiously as Yeontan wiggled in his arms, wanting to be put down. “She was so sweet,” Taehyung said as he knelt down to let Yeontan go. “How come I’ve never met her before?”

“How come I’ve never met her before? Which neighbor?” You asked, surprised that he actually ran into one of them, as you rarely ever saw them out and about.

“A few doors down,” he told you, finally looking up from the cake to you. “Her grandkids are here for Christmas and they were doing all sorts of baking,” he informed you, obviously having had an entire conversation with the woman, in true Taehyung fashion.

Staring at the man, you couldn’t help but feel extremely fond of him for being so genuinely kind and approachable. Everyone felt comfortable in his presence, and it was always something you admired about him. It was a trait you wished you had yourself.

“I love you,” you confessed randomly, catching him off guard as a shy smile overtook his features, a low chuckle slipping from between his lips.

Dipping his head down, he looked up at you through his long lashes. “Why all of a sudden?” He asked timidly, only making you even more smitten as you looked at him.

“You’re so genuinely good,” you told him, your heart growing by the second the longer you stared at him. “I love that about you. I adore your soul,” you continued, Taehyung’s smile growing on his face until he was flashing you a bashful boxy grin, shy under your compliments but radiant as the comments penetrated his stature.

“I love you too,” he replied softly. “You’re good too,” he assured you, knowing you far too well as he realized where your thoughts were taking you. He was far too versed in your mind to not realize you were feeling insecure for your aloof and shy demeanor.

“I’ve never stopped to talk to her,” you told him, a sadness seeping into your tone.

Without a word, he stepped toward you and wrapped his arms around the back of your head, yours closing over his waist as he held you close to his chest, comforting you with sweet kisses to your hair. “They made the cake for you,” he whispered, you humming in question. “Yeah,” he told you, leaning back a bit so he could look at you. “The two little kids told me to give it to you.”

“They know me?” You asked in surprise.

“Of course they do,” he smiled warmly. “You’re impossible to miss, Peaches.” Coming from anyone else, the words would have felt empty, easy to negate, but you knew Taehyung very much found you to be unmissable. He’d been telling you since you first met him. It wasn’t just fate that you two met, but also the fact that he simply couldn’t miss you.

Pouting at him, Taehyung stole a kiss from your protruding bottom lip, causing you to smile as a small breathy laugh escaped. “Wanna know their exact words?” He asked, you nodding instantly. “Ahem,” he exaggeratedly cleared his throat, you giggling at him. “Mister, can you get this to the pretty girl with the cute little dog?” he mimicked the cute voices of the kids.

“They did not,” you laughed, your hands soothing over his lower back.

“They did,” he told you with wide eyes, defending himself. “I swear,” he added, a chuckle escaping his lips in response to your amused grin. “They really did,” he remained adamant, giving you a single exaggerated nod of his head.

“Well now I feel bad for saying fruitcake is bad,” you remembered your previous comment, Taehyung smiling widely as a breathy laugh left his lips.

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it,” he assured you as you tugged on your bottom lip with your teeth.

“Thank you,” you nodded with a grin, looking back to the fruitcake on the counter. “Oh my god, fruitcake,” you exclaimed in feigned excitement, Taehyung watching you in pure amusement. “My favorite,” you added, Taehyung falling forward in laughter, resting his chin against your forehead as you giggled at yourself.

You both stayed in each other’s arms like that for a moment longer, Taehyung pressing soft kisses to your forehead as your fingers dragged across the expanse of his lower back. “We need to thank them somehow,” you suddenly spoke, Taehyung pulling back to look at you.

“Hmmm,” he hummed, squinting at you in thought. “Were you watercoloring?” He asked randomly, you cocking your head at him.

“Yeah,” you confirmed questioningly. “I was trying to make a sunset with like a pink sky but,” you dropped off, pulling a face of distaste. “I’m not very good,” you smiled shyly, Taehyung glaring at you.

“You just started,” he told you. “You’re learning.”

“I know,” you said with a small pout.

“You don’t get to determine how good you are yet,” he ranted. “Besides, it’s for fun. How could you ever not be good at something you do for fun?” He questioned, your lips curving into a smile as you stared at him lecturing you. “You’re amazing,” he assured you. “Are you having fun?”

“Yes,” you giggled, Taehyung nodding at you.

“That’s all that matter then, isn’t it?” He continued.

“Yes,” you whispered fondly. “It is.”

“You should paint them a picture,” he suggested. “To thank them.”

You opened your mouth to tell him you didn’t think that was the best way to say thank you when you could barely paint a gradient, but the man pushed his lips to yours to silence you.

Smiling into the kiss, Taehyung giggled against your mouth. “They would love it,” he told you, kissing you once more before pulling away once again. “And if it’s really as bad as you think it is,” he gave you a sharp stare, “which it won’t be,” he interjected, “we’ll just bring Tannie to soften the blow.”

Letting out a breathy laugh at your boyfriend, you smiled widely. “Fine,” you agreed. “But you have to help me.”

“Happily,” he told you. “Should we try this cake?” He asked, looking to the pastry sitting atop the counter.

Taking a deep breath, you let it out in a rushed exhale. “I suppose,” you relented, Taehyung reaching under the plastic wrap to pull a piece off.

“I’ll go first,” he told you, bringing it to is lips. Placing the morsel on his tongue, he tested the taste, giving a thoughtful look as examined the flavors.

“You’re not going to give me any indication on how it is, are you,” you realized, Taehyung flashing you a bratty smile as you huffed. Grabbing a piece for yourself, you quickly tossed it into your mouth, your tastebuds actively trying to figure out what exactly you were exposing them to. “I-” you started, cutting yourself off as you pondered the taste. “It’s not the worst fruitcake I’ve ever had,” you said, trying to sound positive.

“It’s not good though,” Taehyung admitted, causing you to cover your mouth and squeeze your eyes shut as you began laughing at the comment. “We have to pretend we like this, she was the sweetest woman,” he told you in a hurry, feeling guilty for not liking the dessert.

“It was the best fruitcake we’ve ever had,” you nodded. “That’s not even a lie,” you pointed out, Taehyung shooting you a look that silently asked you to elaborate. “It’s your only fruitcake, therefore, the best,” you explained, “and like I said, it’s not the worst I’ve had,” you added.

Your boyfriend fell into a fit of giggles as he grabbed your body, wrapping his arms around your waist as he nuzzled his face against your neck, your arms draping over his shoulders as you laughed with him fondly.

“Best fruitcake we’ve ever had,” he repeated, his breath fanning over your skin in a light tickle.

“The best,” you added, both of you falling into more laughter as you held each other in the kitchen light.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS OC ASKS: 🎬 + Willow Wren.

mild spoilers for the Bat Out of Hell plotline:

how they’d be introduced: Likely her first appearance would have been as a C plot in the beginning of Agents of SHIELD S3, as something tangential to the threat of HYDRA and the growing public distain towards people with abilities. It would have been mostly a 1-2 episode cameo at best, though SHIELD's search for her would be a minor thread throughout the first few episodes. Then I'd imagine her having her own comic/spin-off show before making her first film/true MCU appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming, followed by Infinity War, Endgame, Wandavision, No Way Home, and Multiverse of Madness. Again, because the majority of her growth as a hero occurred during her own comic/TV run, she'd mostly be a side character in these films, still growing as a person, but not the center of focus. In NWH and MOM, it would likely be a 1-2 scene cameo.

who the fandom ships them with: oh god there would definitely be a ton of Willow/Marty shippers out there, along with Willow/Kate (shhhh... 👀) but also I'm picturing a large chunk of Willow/Peter Parker shippers.

why the fandom loves them: she brings a new energy to the MCU, just an absolute creature of a character who is trying her best, super weird but ultimately in an endearing way. Also, through both her start in AOS, the span of her show and the movies, they'd really get to see her grow from a scared kid at age 12/13 to a reliable confidant + teammate at age 21, also moving from the most unhinged person in the room to generally the most level-headed and strategic.

why the fandom hates them: she would definitely get hate for just being... offputting? for lack of a better word? at least when she's young and fresh out of the Clinic. as I always say, she's awkward, and not in a fun way. it's often in a second-hand embarrassing way that make other people feel uncomfortable. Also, Willow tends to embrace a lot of teenage-girl culture, simply because of the fact that she was sheltered from her peers for so long and it's her way of relating and connecting with the world, which could also get some hate haha. She is obsessed with the Twilight movies and often references real-life events back to them. She likes reality TV! Her taste in music is basic, with mostly 80s hits and 2010s pop. I think for fans who are expecting a badass/scary River Tam x Bucky Barnes type character after her initial appearance in AOS, this awkward kid who likes to be silly and basic sometimes could be disappointing. I mean, she is a badass. But not all the time. She sleeps with a stuffed elephant and watches Love Island. She gets her arm cast in pink. she has a shrek umbrella.

what the cast relationship would be like: Pretty good, I could definitely see whoever plays her getting along well with the cast of the Spider-Man movies, as well as Lizzie Olsen and Anthony Mackie (and BOY would they dunk on Tom Holland)

what was their audition scene: Probably the scene where SHIELD finally catches up to a gravely injured Willow, leading to a tense conversation at a hotel between her and Daisy Johnson, who tries to get her to surrender and allow Jemma to treat her

dependent upon the fandom, who they’d be on a press tour/at comic con with: Most likely Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon

if they spoil things: absolutely not, I feel like any actress who is able to capture her would just give a 😏 and nothing else when asked for a spoiler

if the show/movie has ended, are they happy with their character’s ending and the ending at large: As her story is still ongoing, it's tough to say, but I think her end goal would be a happy retirement to semi-civilian life, since she deserves that haha

#willow wren #please folks let me know your thoughts #because i spent WAY too long thinking this through #bat out of hell

How do you come up with so many cool characters?? All of your OCs seem so vibrant and fleshed out. Do you have a specific process for developing them, or do they just kinda come to you mostly formed? I find I struggle with building a compelling OCs for D&D games & would love to hear your thoughts on character development.

(This answer got long, sorry.) This is a super nice sentiment, I’m happy you think my characters are all cool and unique!!

As far as process goes, uh, it depends on the character? I’ve spent a long time (years) rewiring my brain when it comes to what I think about when creating OCs. They don’t usually come to me fully formed - I get an idea in my head about a concept, and then over like a week or even months of fiddling I end up with a character for that concept.

A lot of the time my characters are simply people I wanted to see more of in media as a kid! Mostly, female characters I actually relate to or are as nuanced and messy as their male cast members, haha... (It was a trip when I realized in high school that I didn’t hate female characters - it was actually that none of them were written as well as the cool boys in the anime series I liked, haha! Be the change you want to see in the world, basically.)

Inspiration for characters (and stories for them to be part of) come from a lot of places. An easy piece of advice is to make an effort to intake media you like! Read new comics, watch new movies and television shows, read books, play video games, listen to music and obsessively memorize the lyrics - hell, obsessively learn everything there is to know about black holes or public domain characters (that’s what I did, lol...)!

(Note: ’New’ meaning new to YOU - you don’t need to only be partaking of media that’s created in 2021 - you can find a lot to love in media that was created before your time, or for generations before you!)

I must reiterate: intake new media that you ENJOY! You don’t have to like all the same things as everyone else, you don’t have to be invested in the same shows and podcasts as your friends. Varied interests and taste is part of what makes us all unique! Increasing your pool of inspiration will help you come up with interesting ideas, and help you find YOUR voice. Your particular interests and the niche things that speak to you will help you figure out what kind of characters and what kind of stories you like to create! But the process doesn’t end at just intaking media... When you find the stuff that brings you joy, analyze what exactly it is about that thing that speaks to you... Put it into words. Explain it to a friend. Make it tangible, analyze the feelings and why the series made you feel that way... and then take it and shove it into your own stories, lol!

Engage critically and thoughtfully with work you like, with characters you like, and it will help you have the language and thought process to recreate it in your own work!

My creative process is like an exquisite corpse of all the characters and series I’ve liked over my lifetime. I mesh them all together in a grim blender and what comes out is a shake in the vague shape as an OC, lol

BUT... it seems like you’re asking more specifically about making characters for tabletop roleplaying games like D&D? And THAT is a different process for me than making OCs for my comics or original story ideas!

I don’t usually join a tabletop game with a fully fleshed out character, actually?? I don’t spend a long time on their backstory, and I usually figure it out like halfway through the story, or through collaboration with my game master!

My TTRPG characters are usually whatever I think would be most interesting in the given game setting or set-up and... usually they exist in opposition to whatever the core concept of the game is. So, the examples I have from games I’ve played are:

In Cardians: West (World of Darkness: Hunter the Vigil): we played in a modern-day urban fantasy setting, where players were recruited into a supernatural Hunter group that was also a criminal organization that Did Crimes and Broke The Law in the name of keeping peace and protecting humanity from the supernatural creatures that go bump in the night. I played Andrew, a Lawful Good Police Detective, because I thought playing a character who would need to grow past his original ideals of ‘Right and Wrong’ in the name of the greater good would be interesting! (And it was!)

In SINNING ADVENTURE (WoD: Geist: The Sin-Eaters) we payed in a modern-day urban fantasy setting with the premise that the players all Died and were brought back to life by forming a pact with a powerful spirit (and getting cool ghost powers in the process!) I played Cassius, a character who could not cope with his death, and thus refused to use his new powers because they were evidence that he was no longer strictly human. It caused conflict in the group and world, but I thought it would be interesting! (And it was! Cassius was a Bitch.)

In Rex Machina (Dungeons and Dragons 5E), I wanted to play an Aarakocra, but was having a hard time deciding on a class or backstory... until I found out that in the ‘canon’ of D&D Aarakocra only live to be like, mid 20s???? Their lifespans are insanely short compared to other playable races!! And I thought that was stupid, so I decided to make MY Aarakocra, Izzy, a warlock that’s looking for ways to extend his own stupidly short life. His pact essentially granted that to him, giving him extra time to find a way to achieve True Immortality. His conflict challenges what’s ‘true’ living in this world, and his extended life is in direct conflict with a lot of forces in the world we play in, and while it is very stressful I think it’s really interesting to play!

In Lamplighting (Monster of the Week), my character Aicen is an assassin who made a deal with a demon and gained supernatural perks out of it... except I decided that she doesn’t WANT to be in this deal. She is actively trying to undo it because it wasn’t her deal - she inherited it from a CEO that she killed during an unrelated job. (Aicen is probably my character I’ve put the most backstory into, and that’s just because at character creation in MOTW you are given a lot of questions about who your character is and why they’re where they are!)

In Hand of Adam (WoD: HtV), the concept was that all players were going to join a post-apocalyptic supernatural-hating cult. I played Shouter, who was a self-preserving pacifist coward who also turned out to be a fae (which the cult would have killed him over). It was stressful but very fun. I love Shouter. He ran away from fights and didn’t actually kill anyone until the last episode where they fought God (whom he killed, lol).

NOW. THESE ARE ALL JUST EXAMPLES OF HOW *I* LIKE TO PLAY CHARACTERS!! For me personally, I enjoy playing a character who has built-in conflict either with the world, the story, or the other players. I’m only able to play characters like this because my friend group are all really cool and we all know that conflict is not bad - it’s fiction and we’re just roleplaying! If I didn’t trust my GMs and fellow players as much as I do, I probably wouldn’t have felt comfortable enough playing some of these concepts.

I don’t think you need to know every little thing about a tabletop character, and in fact, not knowing some things and leaving it up to the GM and story to flesh out is an easy way to help you get more invested in both your character AND the story your GM is telling! Tabletops are a collaborative storytelling experience, so if you’ve already plotted out your character’s whole story, there won’t be much participation from other players or your GM. Figure out what your character wants, and let your roleplaying and GM slowly put all the other pieces in place over the course of your campaign!

But the TL:DR about how I make tabletop OCs is that I just... try to give them a goal, an ideal, or a personality that is in direct conflict with some aspect of the game we’re playing. I don’t want the character to be undermining the whole game, because that’s really crappy to do to your GM, but I have to have something for my character to grow through or change. I like giving them built-in character arc starters, lol. I haven’t played a game where my character has gotten along with every other player character and NPC over the entire campaign since my very FIRST game, lol!

Also, if you’re having trouble, why not ask your GM what they think? Again, tabletops are collaborative! Don’t be afraid to talk ideas out with your GM for your character.

A final note about playing in specifically oneshot games (i.e. games that are not long campaigns but are meant to be played in one or two sittings). Personally, I always just retrofit an OC I already have to play in oneshots! When I make a new character for a long campaign, it usually takes me two or three sessions to find their voice and figure out how to roleplay them. If the game you’re playing is only one session, I find it easier to jump right in and get the most out of your character and the game when you’re playing a character you already know pretty well! I’ve played characters from my webcomic quite a few times, and it’s always a lot more fun for me than figuring out a new character on the fly!

SO UH, IN CONCLUSION... sorry if this is mad unhelpfu!! My personal processes are unique to me! but that's the point - no one person will have the exact answer that works for you! You have to keep trying until you figure it out for yourself! Good luck! Keep creating! <3

Note

🍊For the dorm leaders?

Thank you for the ask! ❤️ ❤️

🍊 What is your OC’s favourite meal? Snack? Dessert? Drink? Any reasons behind this besides liking how it tastes?

Marcia: Our favorite food, huh?

Rosalia: Hehe! Hehehehe!

Blanche:... What’s gotten into you now?

Rosalia: What a great opportunity to once and forever dispel any rumors surrounding my taste!

Blanche: Nobody was wondering about that-

Rosalia: You know! They always said that just because Cherry was always seen eating candy on the show, I must certainly like it as well. After all nobody could fake such a happy and satisfied expression when forced to eat something they dislike.

Marcia: Ah, now that you mention it, I remember Cherry always asking Uncle Apricot for candy when he visited.

Blanche: As I said before, nobody-

Rosalia: Exactly! And because filming would sometimes take a long time, I had to keep eating them even twelve times a day!

Marcia: Woah! That’s a lot of sugar. My old man would definitely scold me if I went overboard like that.

Rosalia: It was part of the role so I had to deal with it. But the worst part was when fans would send me bags of candy along with fanmail and I had to finish them before the next batch arrived. Even though I kept asking them many times not to send it anymore...

Blanche:... Rosalia.

Rosalia: Hm?

Blanche: This is something I noticed before, but... you’re the kind that’s stupidly honest, aren’t you?

Rosalia: HUH?! What’s that supposed to mean?! Are you picking a fight with me?!

Marcia: Now, now, don’t get all worked up! Let’s all get along!

Rosalia: Why are you including me in this, I didn’t-

June: Ugh!

Rosalia, Blanche and Marcia: ... S-Sorry, senpai.

June: ...

Blanche and Rosalia: ...

Marcia: A-Anyway... It’s kinda surprising you dislike candy, Rosa. Your acting skills are really something else if you managed to fake enjoying eating something you hate for so long! So what’s your actual favorite food?

Rosalia: Hehe! Well, this might surprise you but my tastes are more grown-up than people give me credit! My absolute favorite food is the legendary-taboo-for-all-children-super-adult rum cake! Cool, right?!

Blanche: ...

June: ...

Marcia: ... Y-Yeah, I guess...

Rosalia: ... Then why aren’t your expressions more appreciative of me?!

June: Ain’t anythin’ grown-up about that.

Rosalia: Huh?!

Blanche: Himalia-senpai is right. Rum cake, despite the name, isn’t inherently alcoholic since most it is cooked off.

Rosalia: B-But you can get drunk off it...

Blanche: Only if you consume it in large quantities. Otherwise it’s just a more flavourful dessert.

Rosalia:...

Marcia: Don’t mind. Don’t mind.

Rosalia: Don’t pat my back now! It just comes across as condescending.

Blanche: Seriously, that’s why kids like you...

Rosalia: HUH?! Then what about you? Let’s see what so grown-up about your tastes! So, tell us, what’s your favorite food?!

Blanche: Bitter chocolate.

Rosalia:...

Ugh! Why do I feel like I lost?!

Blanche: It wasn’t even a contest in the first place.

Marcia: Hahaha, it totally suits you though Blanche!

Blanche: Does it? Truth to be told, it’s the only strong flavour that I like, but I wasn’t allowed to have much of it growing up.

Marcia: Mm. I get it. Then I’ll be sure to gift you some during your birthday!

Blanche: ... I wouldn’t want to impose, but I appreciate the thought.

Rosalia: Hmp! Moving on~ How about you Marcia? I totally expect you to pick something nutritional and healthy.

Marcia: Haha, you’re not wrong! I’m crazy about sweet potatoes. Boiled, mashed, cooked in the oven - as long as it’s not fried, I’m good with any kind!

Rosalia: I knew it~

Marcia: Mm! But to tell you the truth, it has little to do with the nutritional value. I really like them because they bring back memories of me and the old man roasting some during autumn. It was a lot of fun even though it was mostly him doing the work. I hope that when he gets better we’ll be able to do it again together, all four of us.

Rosalia: That’s way too sad!

Marcia: Eh?

Rosalia: Aaah! Here I was complaining about people sending me candy when I didn’t even think about the feelings behind it! That was super childish!

Blanche: Indeed.

Rosalia: Ahh! Can’t you keep quiet?!

June: ... That could go for ya’ll. Makin’ a ruckus ev’ry single time... CAN’T YA THINK OF OTHERS ONCE IN A WHILE, HUH?! DAMN IT!

Rosalia, Blanche and Marcia: Crap! We got Himalia-senpai angry!

June: First of all, food is food! Dontcha complain when yer table is full of all sorts of stuff! Ain’t matter if ya’ll like it or not! People worked hard to put it on yer table! So just shut up and eat it!

Rosalia, Blanche and Marcia: U-Understood, ma’am.

June: Huh?! What was that?! Say it louder!

Rosalia, Blanche and Marcia: Understood, ma’am!

June: That’s right! Now scram and make sure to do ya’ll work! Or ya’ll be in trouble when I come checkin’ in. GOT IT?

Rosalia, Blanche and Marcia: YES, MA’AM!

How did it turn out like this?!

Extra: June’s favorite food is apple pie because it’s an easy dessert to make and quite filling. Though whenever she makes it at home she often has to fend off her nieces and nephews if she wants to have a slice for herself.

Diana: Meat.

Agatha: Hehe... land animals... really are simple...

Vita: Now, Agatha. I would say that Diana’s straightforwardness is to be expected by now.

Cassandra: Yes. It is just like Miss Arrow to be so honest.

Diana: ... It’s my true answer. In the savana besides swiftness, you also need strength. Meat helps build up muscle mass and is full of vitamins such as B12, B3, B6. It also contains carnosine which has anti-glycosylation-

Agatha: Ugh... so much... noise...

Diana: ...

Cassandra: A-Amazing! I have never heard Miss Arrow speak at such length. She truly does get passionate about her favorite topics.

Diana:...

Vita: Hm? Have you perhaps been overtaken by shyness, lioness? How charming.

Diana: ...

Cassandra.

Cassandra: Eh?

Diana: ...

I heard fairies like sugar.

Cassandra: E-Eh? Well, that’s more of a stereotype I would say than actual fact, but... um, I’m only half so maybe it’s true after all...

Diana: ...

Cassandra: Sorry... I’m not really sure of fairies’ true nature... um...

Vita: ‘Tis alright. The lioness was merely curious.

Diana: Mm.

Cassandra: Haha, I see. Sorry for making assumptions.

Um, to tell the truth, I’m actually quite fond of Mazarin myself.

Vita: Hm? Ah, I remember. It is a sort of almond tart, is it not?

Cassandra: Yes! It is quite tasty and easy to bake too!

My grandmother taught me how to make it when I was a child. It’s our special treat for when we wanted to make each other smile. Even now when I smell the aroma I am reminded of those afternoons spent in the kitchen together.

Agatha: ... annoying...

Cassandra: Sorry, that must have been really boring to hear. Um, what about you, Miss Voisin?

Agatha: ...

Cassandra: ...

Agatha: .................................................

Cassandra: ... Um....

Agatha: ............................................

Big Sis.

Vita: My, it seems my dear little Agatha doesn’t want to give a response. She gets uncharacteristically shy when other’s gaze is turned upon her. Oh well, then I shall take over.

I myself am quite partial to pomegranates. They have quite a peculiar taste that I haven’t really noticed in any other food. ‘Tis truly a marvelous experience.

Diana: They’re too sour.

Cassandra: I’m not especially fond of them myself, um...

Vita: A shame, alas.

My mother and sisters are of the same mind. They seem to find it abhorrent. ‘Tis only Grandfather who shares my opinion. Though, I do suspect ‘tis because it ease the pain in his joints. So as you can see, ‘tis a most versatile fruit.

Agatha: Pomegranates... are tasty...

Vita: Oh? How refreshing. I commend your good taste.

Agatha: ... Hehe.

Vita: My, how cute! It really suits you when you smile like that, Agatha, dear!

Diana and Cassandra: ...

Diana: Even though she says that-

Cassandra: -Isn’t it usual for Miss Voisin to smile, anyway?

Extra: Agatha’s favorite food is shrimp, but because it’s the usual prey for her fish species she doesn’t like to mention it. She can eat them raw and without cracking them open given her metabolism, but so far only Vita has seen her eating habits.

For Drinks: Rosa, Diana, Agatha and Marcia stick to water (sometimes with a wedge of lemon), June likes lemonade, Blanche and Cassandra like tea, while Vita prefers coffee and energy drinks.

Diana is the only one who snacks a lot, because she burns off the calories very easily and thus is always hungry. The others prefer either healthy options (Blanche, Rosa, Marcia) or sweet stuff (Cassandra) or something spicy or unusual (June, Agatha, Vita).

Introduction to Salem (my deltarune oc)

because i really wanna post about her hsdgjshbdsfhj

info under the cut bc this is gonna be long as FUCK I have a lot to say about my daughter...please read it tho

first things first, her name is Salem and I first made her on my second run of deltarune when I decided to name my vessel properly (on my first run i made the vessel’s name my own since the instructions confused me a tad, haha.)

this is what she looks like in-game. here’s a sprite recreation of the above sprite cuz its kinda unclear (plus a pixel vers)

I didn’t flesh her out until may 2020 though, and since then she’s gone through all sortsa development. the first thing I did was try to make her design stand out from being a basic vessel while still keeping true to the nature of it, if that makes sense.

this is my first ever drawings of her- some minor things have changed as i’ve drawn her. here’s her current design!

as well as her sprite (plus the pixel vers)

she has a dark world form and a “beta” design (aka her in-game design just with a face) but I've shown enough designs for now.

Her backstory is that, after being discarded, she was saved and brought to life by Gaster. He acts as her father figure (she literally calls him father, since in a way he is bc bringing her to life and all that) and she holds him in very high regard. They live together in the void, however Salem can leave and I’m going to explain why in a bit.

Her purpose as a vessel is to house the player’s soul. That purpose was taken from her at the beginning of the game as we all know, and she’s determined to get it back by any means necessary. How she does this is she basically goes down to hometown and/or the dark world to antagonize/attack Kris to get the soul out of them. She hates them for this reason.

Of course, she’s more like a saturday morning cartoon villain than an actual threat to them. She tries her hardest but can never really get their soul. She keeps trying though. The only thing that could divert her from attempting to fulfill her purpose would have to be a genuine change of heart.

Personalitywise, She’s actually very proper and polite to people she’s not actively trying to steal the soul of. Gaster raised her with proper manners! Despite this, she’s also very sassy and not afraid to speak her mind. Also shes not above saying swear words because I think its funny lmao

Her powers are as follows:

Teleportation - Allows her to get to and from the void. she can teleport to places she knows, but not people, and she can teleport small items with her if she’s holding them but not other people, hence why Gaster can’t use her to escape.

Hovering - Salem can hover a few feet off the ground for a limited amount of time. It’s not exactly flight, since it’s loosely derived from Gaster’s ability to control his detached hands (technically a form of hovering). It’s more just so she can look intimidating and cool. Originally, she didn’t have this, but one day I sprite edited a pose that looked like she was hovering and decided it would be cool lmao

Gaster Blasters- Since they’re named after her dad, I figured I’d give them to her. However, I’ve been debating recently on whether to keep them or not, since I don’t want her being too similar to Sans power-wise and he’s the only place in the game we see them. It’s iffy for now, so we’ll see.

Fun facts!

She has a wrench she uses as her main weapon. I tend to forget this fact, but it’s very important. (If I do get rid of the blaster power, she’d use this as primarily, since right now she prefers to use the blasters as a ranged attack. That said she does love to bonk people w the wrench, namely Kris she hits them with it a lot)

Physically, she is the same age as the fun gang (Since I headcanon Kris, Susie, and Ralsei to be 17, she would be 17 as well, however if you headcanon them to be younger she’s essentially just aged to match them. At the very least her and Kris are always physically the same age.) Mentally, though, it’s kinda complicated. She’s as smart as her physical age in the sense she’s able to use logic and wit, however her knowledge of the world is less than a toddlers. If you asked her what something normal like, say, grass was, she would not know. She would be confused as fuck. She could best someone at chess but the second you ask her what a movie theatre is she becomes all questions

She’s naturally very curious. Maybe because she has so little knowledge of the world or maybe because she was raised by Gaster to have a scientific mind, but she just wants to know EVERYTHING about the world around her. When she’s not focused on antagonizing Kris and their friends all the time, she’s usually out exploring and studying things, trying to expand her knowledge.

Gaster forgot if he taught her how to read and write or not and at this point he’s too afraid to find out.

In truth, Gaster’s better at being a scientist than a dad. He tries to act fatherly towards Salem but most of the time ends up treating her more like a lab assistant. She doesn’t mind as long as he pays attention to her, but it’s still not exactly good for her development.

I headcanon Gaster is ambiguously related to the skelebros, so by extension Salem is related to them as well. He’s told her to respect them. (She gets along with Papyrus, but Sans gets on her nerves sometimes.)

I think I’ve rambled on enough. There’s still so much more to cover but this is all of the basic info and then some. Thank you for reading this far, and if you have any questions or comments about her PLEASE feel free to shoot me an ask about it.

#shut up meow #salem #meows ocs #meows art #meows sprite edits #please ask me questions about her via ask #i could talk about her for ages #also now that ive properly introduced her i will post about her #A LOT #so uh #hope u like deltarune vessel ocs lmao

Please blab about your personal version of scourge, I wanna know about this trash man

hoo boy here we go

HEADCANONS:

first headcanon this is dependent on: scourge just casually jumps dimensions for fun and also to get zone cops off his tail when he inevitably gets in trouble with them

second dependent headcanon: when the archie comics were cancelled, that universe kinda got frozen? i imagine that all the universes are housed in these bubbles that grow as the universe does. when they stop growing, everything in them turns gray and it’s stuck in time, nothing moves in there, and nobody’s allowed to go back in there because it may or may not be dangerous. no one knows. the archie-verse mobius bubble is frozen now and so is moebius because it was linked to the main bubble. everyone in there is effectively dead, but… scourge was hopping dimensions when that happened. he’s one of if not the only lasting remnant of those universes

third headcanon i guess???: scourge isn’t completely deep down terrible, there’s some semblance of a good person in him, he’s just pissy and tries to be cool and strong and in charge and hides the fact that he does have some morals despite everything, he’s just like sonic in terms of like… stubbornness and following his own rules and being independent and stuff but it comes out completely differently than it does from his heroic counterpart

ACTUAL THING:

so… scourge is homeless now in the most extreme way possible i guess can we get an f in the chat

so he keeps hopping dimensions because he has nowhere to go, everything he used to know and rely on is gone

this kinda gets involved with an oc, at some point he meets this kid with no parents named kingpin who’s just as much of a bastard as he is but like in baby form, the kid gets attached to him and he ends up bringing him along on the dimension hop adventure, he’s getting soft and he knows it but hey nobody’s that heartless

cut forward, he ends up in some sort of dimension i don’t know, may or may not be idw’s comic-verse or an offshoot or a mix of something but hey he’s here now

he ends up meeting a version of amy when he’s having a particularly sad bad day and this kinda leaks into @tomaturtles’ version of things because he meets her interpretation of amy, long story short scourge may or may not cry a little and they become sorta-kinda-maybe-friends

oh no she’s too nice she’s insisting he comes to her house and she’s giving him food and junk and usually people are punching him in the face by now damn it he isn’t supposed to be this soft but she’s so dang nice why is she being nice- OH NO HER PARENTS ARE NICE TOO he knows he doesn’t deserve this and yet… here he is, enjoying it. why? oh well haha thanks bye time to run off

he ends up staying in this dimension and occasionally coming back, he tries to act distant and stuff but he can’t help growing attached, people are being nice to him and giving him stuff and this is new

this amy’s friends with another oc whose name is razor, he’s practically her adopted brother at this point and he ends up getting attached to scourge too for some reason, he just likes hanging around him and thinks he’s cool and strong and stuff and that’s rad

of course scourge meets other characters like this world’s sonic and… he still has a bit of a grudge against the blue guy, it’s just hardwired into him at this point but… they aren’t fighting? sure this blue idiot’s being kinda snarky and playing around with him but he isn’t attacking which is weird, it’ll take a while before scourge bothers interacting with him normally tho. to this sonic he’s just another cranky person like shadow is sometimes or any other friend having a bad day

from there scourge just kinda goes on random scourge adventures with various characters because his relationships with them have effectively been reset and junk but yeah, I’m still trying to figure out how to continue this little plot

TLDR: scourge is homeless on an interdimensional level and ends up “””adopting””” a small child little brother and accidentally becoming friends with a new version of amy while dimension hopping, he meets others from there and gets involved in shenanigans

Now that I know Hamato Yoshi or aka Lou Jitsu's and Baron Draxum's past... (cause finally I watched ROTTMNT again, meaning I can do the requests now without being unattached to the turtles attitude/personality XD) well in general past story. I am now safe to rewrite my cringy background story of my OC Pearl XD

So Pearl was a gift from Fluffy (my other OC, the one who's Lou Jitsu's friend. The cloud person I posted waayyy long time ago... I guess I gotta digitalise her too HAHA) to give Hamato Yoshi company and inner peace in his years of being in Big Mama's battle nexus dungeon. There's also that cool looking rat from that episode but Pearl is always there to cheer Yoshi up. Pearl was kinda tiny despite being already 5 years old now. It's because she's one of the most endangered species of turtles and the most tiniest of them. So Lou Jistu has grown attached to the turtle like family.

And then Munnin and Huggin (hopefully I got the spellings right cause if not I'm stabbing myself for not knowing my Norse.) arrived and took Lou Jitsu. Bringing along that rat and Pearl. So when they arrived at Baron Draxum's lab. Pearl was clueless on what was going on. Baron Draxum saw Pearl sitting on top of Lou Jitsu's shoulder, so the Baron thought of mutating her as well. So when the mutating occurred Baron also put in Pearl in one of the "cells" on top of Lou's, besides the other four turtles. Lou Jitsu not liking the fact that five turtles (especially his little Pearl) are going to be used for not so good purposes, he broke free from his vine like cage, breaking the progress of the mutation. But unfortunately Pearl was the only turtle who's transformation who didn't finished so her back shell underdeveloped. And she's the only turtle that Baron Draxum got a hold of. Despite being a 5 y/o she's just two inches taller than baby Raphael.

And guess what, Pearl was taught to be one of the greatest warrior :'D but hey, since she lived with Lou Jitsu before... and seeing that he was not a fun of violence at those times... She was a highkey pacifist which annoys Baron Draxum. On which the goyles suggested to approach Pearl in this whole, fighting situation in a different perspective. So the Baron raised Pearl instead as a child figure of his and dang it worked. (But through out the years he raised Pearl, he did started to see her as his daughter that he came into terms that Pearl wants a different life and didn't force her to join him or anything, he'll find new warriors for that.)

So Pearl got a "rebellious" age or aka, where she helped and worked with her dad capturing those escaped animals but stopped at the age of 17.

She met Casey, my version of Casey, around she was 13, and Casey was 14 around that time. They became best buddies and into mmmoorrreee.

Anyways, I wanna talk more about my OC, but I wanna express it through drawing more XD

Art by me~

You’re all beautiful and valid (✿◠‿◠)~~~

How did he end up in the training field with an excitable kid? Well, his classmate’s voice rang in his head, she’s really not that much younger than you. Which isn’t wrong, he was the youngest in his class after all, but he was a little surprised to be picked for the job. He guessed they got along well enough. No matter how many times her head floated off into the sky due to something that grabbed her attention he never felt particularly angry and was able to bring her back to Earth gently. And no matter how many questions came from her he was able to keep up and answer, even if some of them were... not something that she should really ask. It’s been months and neither have faltered. He had to admit though, he found it cute. As he watched her long galaxy-like hair flow after her while she ran up to him, he felt his cheeks warm up a little.

“I finished the exercises like you asked!” She was practically jumping up and down, despite the many laps and grueling bits of training. He felt a little impressed. “Hey, since I finished the training and everything... I deserve a reward, don’t ya think?” Her freckles bunched up on her cheeks as she flashed him a blinding smile that made his heart thump loudly. How could he say no? She did work really hard today. “You’re right. What are you thinking as a reward then?” When she said to follow her he didn’t think twice about walking beside her.

He had to admit, this ice-cream is really good. The pastels surrounding them were pretty and so too were the treat-themed decorations. the place was a little crowded, but he didn’t notice too much with the person in front of him. The AC was also really nice with how hard the sun shone down on everyone and hearing Ryoko talk about any little thing that interested her and ask him every question possible about himself was a nice relaxant. The table they were at was small, leaving little distance between them. Her eyes were so pretty. They looked like their own little galaxies. No, no, and no. This was a professional relationship. He knew what he was feeling, he has for awhile, but it’s only one-sided.

“I’ve never been to this ice-cream parlor before, but I’m really glad we got to go here together, it’s really good!” Her laugh is so pretty too. “I’m really glad I get to thank you for training me and everything!” Then he fell back to reality. She only took him here because it was the nice thing to do for a mentor from a student. That’s it. His heart felt like a shattered vase. Then the fragments of his heart fell to the bottom of his chest as it only sunk in more and more. He felt happy in that moment for his mask and long hair that swept over his face. “You’re welcome, it’s really no problem.” At least he could keep his voice together. She gave him another one of her sweet smiles, and he couldn’t help but smile back, even if she couldn’t see it, as she trailed off to another topic. It felt familiar and he felt warm.

Apparently, she likes cotton candy. She held the treat in her hand as she looked up at all the bright and colorful lights around them as they reflected a rainbow across her already colorful hair. Class 1-A decided to take a well-earned break and enjoy themselves at an annual festival that was being held and he couldn’t help but invite her to come along. He didn’t know where the rest of the class went, it almost feels like they purposefully left them alone. Not that he could find it in him to mind. Even when he felt like a dog on a leash with how she tugged him to every little piqued interest of hers, he could only follow her with a pleasant feeling in his heart. He was sure there was a goofy smile plastered on his face and hearts in his eyes. She didn’t notice though, so he couldn’t bare to change it. They came up to one of the vendor’s games, a classic one where you try to knock down the pyramid of cups. Her eyes were glued to one specific stuffed animal on the wall. It was a mix of many vibrant colors, mainly red and orange, it looked like an interesting mix between a rabbit and a deer.

He could recite her long re-counts of picking up strange animals and gushing over them. Well... “How much for a play?” He could feel her burning stare, and kept his eyes from looking to his right. He put down a price and then he was reaching into his pocket for the right amount, handing it to the vendor before picking up a shiny white ball. He stood right in the middle of the neat pyramid trying not to think about his pumping heart. He felt nervous. He didn’t want to disappoint her, even if it was only a festival game. “Do your best!” Her encouragement both helped and didn’t. He willed his hand to stop shaking and closed one eye while putting his the ball in front of the other. After what felt like an hour, at least to him, he used all of his strength to hit his target. The sound of all of the small tin cans hitting each other and then the ground filled the air and his shoulders sagged while a small smile his behind his mask. The vendor gestured towards his plethora of stuffed toys and his finger pointed toward the one from earlier.

He now turned to Ryoko, the plush toy in his hand. Her eyes were wide and her smile matched as her hands were balled into fist in front of her, shaking like they couldn’t contain all of her emotions. “That was so cool! I didn’t know you liked festival games—or that you were so good at them,” she started giggling by the end and it made his chest squeeze almost painfully. Her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes were so long. Her warm-colored skin looked soft and he had the urge to reach out but knew better than to do so. Her laugh sounded like wind chimes outside. He was so head-over-heels. But as her eyes opened to the plush she was staring at earlier in front of her face and she took it while thanking him over and over while practically vibrating in place, he didn’t mind. In fact, he thinks he prefers it this way, even if it might not get to ever be said aloud.

Did you outline the entirety of Gladiator or do you create new arcs as you go along?

Gladiator is by far the most complicated story I have ever plotted. I’m pretty sure it shows, but it’s been a large-scale mess that I’ve tried to put together to the best of my ability. So many threads to bring together, so much that needs to be addressed in a world where the Fire Nation has virtually won the war… so it’s been a very long process.

I’ve been working on this story for 6 years now. I think I can safely say, around this point in time, that I have all arcs and important plotlines planned out. And even then, I only finished planning out what the General of Ozai’s Imperial Guards has been doing behind Ozai’s back around a couple of weeks ago.

I suppose it might sound insane, especially as I’ve always held on to some of my original ideas on where to take the story. I probably plotted the events from chapter 97 around two days into planning the story. I plotted the eventual Combustion Man confrontation since day 1, I believe? But as the scope of Gladiator is so big, it’s a whole complicated process of steering things along carefully towards the direction I want for the story.

It must have taken me over a year to know what was the actual route the story would take for Part 3. After a lot of input by a friend, which left me in a bit of a strange position briefly because, while I didn’t dislike the ideas, I didn’t know what to make of them right away either, I eventually glimpsed a better outcome than the ones I’d been toying with so far. Ever since I figured where we were headed, a lot of the worldbuilding and sideplots have been geared towards developing the world into what it will have to become for Part 3. Some things may feel irrelevant right now, I suppose, but ultimately they won’t be. Nearly all characters, new or old, canon or OCs, will have a part to play in the story’s future. I can only hope that Part 3 will indeed do the rest of the story justice, but I’m confident that it’s the best direction I could be choosing for Gladiator.

There were several arcs and storylines that I did come up with later down the line: for instance, Hahn’s involvement in the story has been a late-ish addition, even though he’s going to bring in an important element for Part 3 (and for Zhao’s motivations to conquer the north). There’s an arc in the navigator right now, the Gladiators and Sponsors Race event, and it’s also a relatively late addition to the story. Azula’s confirmation as Ozai’s heir was also a late addition, something I came up with probably a couple of months before writing the scene where Ozai tells Azula he wants to declare her his heir. Hell, this may even sound completely bonkers but Azula’s homeless people situation was something I came up with like… DAYS before writing it. That wasn’t planned beforehand AT ALL, even though it has become a pretty important wedge that drives Ozai and Azula apart (plus it gave me the excuse for Azula’s speech in the festivals and I am ever delighted I wrote that). As for Haru’s family’s arc, for a very long time I had planned for Tyro to be alive, but eventually I realized it might just make more sense if he wasn’t. It would hike up the stakes, and on top of that, it would give Azula the motivation to take action about slavery even if Ozai was going to shut her down. And what started in Haru’s family arc through Tyro’s death will have a huge impact on everything that will come in the Slave Riot arc, and everything that comes next.

So… it’s not a straightforward process. It’s more like going forward, then backtracking, then going further back and then modifying what’s ahead if the lead-up doesn’t fit…? There’s a lot of tinkering to do for plotlines to work, for characters to develop in the way they need to. It’s hard work… but I can’t deny I love tying up old arcs with new ones, showing that nearly nothing is inconsequential, and that as much as it’s a slow-going process, our two main leads are moving forward to change a world what direly needs people with their abilities and leadership to take a stand for what they truly believe in.

If you’re curious about what I’d been planning before my friend’s input helped me find a whole new direction for the entire story…

Sokka was going to become Ozai’s gladiator. Yeah. I have no idea how I went from “Ozai discovers them” to “Ozai hires the guy who destroyed his daughter’s virtue”, but I did indeed. And it made as little sense when I came up with it as it does now that I’m telling you about it.

Sokka and Azula weren’t going to have half as many romantic moments in Part 1 as they did. I actually had planned for the first chaotic kiss, and then they would stay perfectly professional and pining over each other hopelessly until 97. Haha. I sure overestimated my willpower AND theirs.

After 97, though, I didn’t use to have remotely as many plans as I do with Part 2 right now. I knew I didn’t want them to be caught right away, but I didn’t think I’d extend things as long as I have because I had virtually no idea of where we were headed and how to get there. I didn’t know what needed to be set up, and so, I didn’t know if there’d be any story to tell beyond “Ozai caught them”. So, I had assumed I would give them a few months of romantic bliss only to tear them apart shortly after.

Back when things were very nebulous and new, I wasn’t sure about aging up Aang despite I think my explanation for him being older isn’t all that absurd. So, initially he was going to be a little 12-year-old kid amongst a bunch of grown-ups. Even then, I wanted Zuko to go south but I had no idea HOW to get him there. At that point in time, Zutara was a possibility for the story. When I decided to age up Aang, and Suki became a larger player, I realized there was a much smoother possibility by pairing them up with different characters instead (and frankly, Zuko’s character development via Zuki has made me feel so much better about him that I am really, REALLY glad I picked the current storyline over this one).

Zuko was, at one point, going to become a gladiator. It’s something a lot of people asked for, so I, being the easily-swayed fool I was, thought it might be a good idea for him to be the Blue Spirit. I can’t remember who I came up with as a possible sponsor for him, maybe the fact that I couldn’t even come up with a sponsor is the true reason why I ditched this idea.

Katara was also going to be a gladiator: Azula’s. Yeah. After Ozai took Sokka, Katara was SOMEHOW going to end up in the Capital and Azula was going to hire her in some nonsensical bid to save Sokka from her father. Where’s the logic? I dunno, I’ve been wondering the same thing for the last 6 years.

I didn’t have any clue who was going to be Fire Lord, and I actually didn’t realize Azula was going to have every right and reason to be the one to inherit the throne until relatively later in the game. It sounds so dumb now, I’m sure, but for a time I had taken for granted Zuko would be Fire Lord (must be I subconsciously bought all his talk about his MANIFEST DESTINY…! until I didn’t :’DDD).

There really wasn’t going to be much of a war left to fight anymore. The White Lotus wasn’t going to have a particularly important role, and I had no intentions of bringing Ursa in until Yang’s story displeased me enough that I decided I had to tell my own take on Ursa’s disappearance, if just to put it out there. Anyhow, going back to the White Lotus subject, it meant that someone killing Ozai was going to be the only way to end the mess of the 100+ year war because I had zero confidence about writing big battle scenes (tbh I still don’t? but I’m still going to give it a shot).

Toph and Iroh were going to be largely irrelevant. I mean, now that I look back on it, their roles were merely going to be about antagonizing Sokka and Azula for as long as they could. I had no intentions to make them friends with Toph, and I didn’t really plan to feature Iroh in a particularly plot-relevant role until, well… :’D until the White Lotus attacked, oops.

Ultimately, everything was going to boil down to conflicts between the show’s core cast (and not even all of it, like I said Toph, Iroh and Suki weren’t particularly relevant all along), and OCs weren’t important in my plans at all. Poor Rui Shi only became relevant when I wrote chapter 7, I believe, and he first tried to defy Azula’s commands. Kino outright didn’t exist until… way past a year after I started the story. I literally came up with him after I went to bed and I forgot about him the next morning. I spent HOURS beating myself about remembering what I had come up with until he finally came to me again xD Side characters like Song, or even Shoji, were added mostly for the fun of bringing in familiar characters from the show at first. Eventually they gained relevance for reasons far more important than their brief appearances in the show, Song in particular.

My idea for Sokka and Azula getting back together in Part 3 was… probably a big reason why I didn’t feel comfortable with my general outlining back then. It’s not that it was TERRIBLE, but it didn’t make much sense for a dramatic reunion to take place when they would have, arguably, been living in the same Palace for a while if Ozai took Sokka as his gladiator :’D therefore, it was generally pretty anticlimactic, melodramatic, and I knew I needed something better than that.

I can’t remember much else of my early, scrapped plans. Virtually everything plot-related I’ve written up here is completley discarded now, which is why I feel free to disclose it all. Admittedly, this wasn’t anywhere near as bad as the reported original plans George R.R. Martin had for ASOIAF x’D but it’s not exactly good either. I’m glad that I allowed the outlining of the full plot to take as long as it had to until I had found the right direction for the story, else I would still be working with most this nonsense in mind and… Gladiator would be so much worse. I have no doubts it would be.

#kaox-krul #gladiator #wow writing about those shitty old plans is a trip down memory lane and down 'what were you thinking' lane for sure #I'm so glad I am writing it the way I am now #sooooo glad
