doodles friends's ocs that i did on vc!!

pictured above: vera and sai (@junebluues), willow, ankoku, and theo (@tsukacchako), lang (@pwippy), yunnie (@yunoftheclouds) annnnnd horizon (and seraph) (@zerostyrant)

also a bonus new emote of memento

[verdantlights]

WAAAHHHHHHHH THE BABIES EVERRRRR SWEET SWEET MONOCHROME <3333

as i have said (and will continue to say) YOU COOKED!!! you cook with all your ocs, to be completely honest, but these 2 are like a dessert... ehegehehehehruei /pos

also the parallel between a black hole and a supernova is really funny, when a bigger star condenses and goes supernova, all thats left behind is a black hole. you could say that mento is the beautiful supernova of emotion and mori is the black hole she left behind... maybe perchance idk im just,,, yapping whegegeheghr <- i love SPACE racggrhnfnf

also the body symbols,,,, CRIES

my two babies clove and toki already being friends with them egegegegge... MEMENTO IS GOING TO SOB FOR SEASON 40 CLOVE V TOKI OH MY GOD NOOO

My Season 41 OCS (Monochrome)

I was inspired by Zen (@zerostyrant) and June (@junebluues) to make some season forty one ocs . . . they are a pair (I would say do not separate but they are separated lmao so)

Mori is Nyx's younger sister (the youngest of five) and a strange young woman

She is transfemme and she uses she/any pronouns

Her name is a reference to "memento mori" and her part of it means "death"

Her animal symbol would be the Eastern Indigo Snake, I think. Her Tarot Card is the Tower (for stormy times, awakening, and restlessness). Her solar symbol is a black hole, and her body symbol is the bones (because it is what is left behind in death and because it is the most resilient part of the body, the least fragile. also it's merely a framework, not much of anything on it's own)

She's bi, she doesn't really care but she has a preference for women (Memento was her first love. Funny how that went)

She is about 5'11'' and 140lbs (if I remember correctly).

She probably could qualify as a psychopath, due to her apathetic nature, lack of care when it comes to other people, she's an adrenaline junkie, she gets into fights, she likes making people cry just to get a reaction out of them- the only big "psychopathic" trait she doesn't really exhibit is the lying/charisma but that's because she doesn't care enough to lie to anyone. I wouldn't. say for she that she has psychopathy because I don't think I know enough about it. . .

She's Korean/Irish like Nyx (because they're full siblings)

She's friends with Toki and she has a strange, intimate relationship with a character of @bluemoonscape's named Light

Her voice claim is Fiona Apple

As I previously said of Memento, "she's an incredibly skittish, guilty crybaby of a creature who worries constantly and would cry at a dog food commercial."

She is a cis woman who uses she/her pronouns

She and Mori have the same owner and they grew up together. They don't talk anymore

Her name is the "memento" part of "Memento Mori" and it means "remember/memory."

Her animal symbol would be the ermine or stoat, while her tarot would be reversed Temperance (because of fragility, lack of balance, and extremes). Her solar symbol would either be a supernova or a white dwarf. Her body symbol is the eyes, something that can perceive but is ultimately unable to act.

She is a lesbian

She's barely five feet tall and she weighs about 120lbs.

Mento and Mori had an incident when they were preteens and they have not been on speaking terms since said incident. Before this, they were childhood best friends.

She is Filipino. Her hair is bioengineered to be blonde and her white eye was a cosmetic surgery after she was born.

Mento (she goes by Meme, as in mei-mei, and Mento) is friends with Clove and Sebastian (@sotogalmo) (so far)

Her voice claim is beabadoobee

intro post :)

Hello!! It is me, Rock, the guy behind @rockwgooglyeyes um yeah I decided to finally bite the bullet and make an alnst-oc specific blog because I have so many at this point 😔

My original characters that will be the focus on this blog include:

Nyx (Onyx) or specimen #001247, 20 years old, he/him trans man, season 39 participant and escapee. He has three kids that all belong to @apriciticreveries, Asahi, Yami, and Natsuki

Yumi (027819), 20 years old, she/her & agender, Anakt Class 40, a selectively mute individual and Asahi's girlfriend

Asuka (217342), 22 years old, he/him gnc cis man, Anakt Class 40, Isla (@nottoonedin)'s younger brother and Leto (@paradisedisconcert)'s boyfriend. A mischievous crow boy

Faisal (0010011), 25 years old, he/him cis man, Anakt Class 40, announcer of Season 40 of ALNST alongside Zhuli

Mori (1101011), 23 years old, she/any trans woman, Anakt Class 41, a intimidating young woman who never seems to get angry or sad. Very attached to Light (@bluemoonscape)

Memento (1101101), 23 years old, she/her cis woman, Anakt Class 41, a neurotic young woman who has a complicated past with Mori. Jumps at her own shadow. Down bad for Akari (@disillusionedhope)

Hisoka (110076), 21 years old, he/him trans man, Anakt class 41, a strange and eccentric young man who always seems to know more than he should.

Edit: please feel free to ask about friendships/relationships with any of these bastards /aff. Hisoka is romantically available currently

That's all of the ocs that will actually be featured in their own seasons . . . I will probably end up talking about Haneul & Faolán as well (they are Nyx and Mori's parents) because they have a connected to Caskyo as well as Mori & Nyx (and Haneul won season 37). Cam, Dian and Faisal's older sibling, might come up as well but that's not. set in stone. I just wanted to make this blog for easier organization but no one has any obligation to follow it or pay attention to it!

I hope you have a good day <3

[imperfectnothing]

i . . . might have redesigned mori slightly . . . this isn't going to adjust memento mori's dynamic any, it just is adding another layer to them. i'm going to rework mento a lil bit too, she won't be changing much though :3

(kind of inspired by this animatic of stella jang)

Character Inspo for Dian, Mori and Mento

Dian's is mostly unchanged but I did add Howl Movingcastle (or Howl Pendragon) as well as Wriothesley. I'll go in order from left to right, top to bottom. Howl is for aesthetic as well as flamboyance and general secrecy. Wrio (Genshin Impact) is for outfit, protectiveness, as well as his craftiness and secrecy, again. Sylvain (Fe3H) is for charisma, using humor as a means of deflection, as well as red hair/hairstyle. Kaworu Nagisa (Evangelion) is for his gayness mostly, I'll be honest, as well as the self-sacrifice and the secrecy. Aloy is for red hair, ferocity, and jack-of-all-trades quality, as well as amiability. Zagreus (Hades) is for wittiness, fire/ember symbolism, and foolhardiness.

Mori's was kind of tough because partially, I based her off of Nyx's appearance, but I didn't want to use Nyx as an inspo, because it was mostly just eye-shape, hair color and nose. So we've got Felix (Fe3H) for his eye color, his intimidation factor as well as his willingness to fight anyone and everyone. Rhea Ripley (WWE) was suggested by @zerostyrant and I'll be honest she's mostly vibes, she's a fighter, there's lesbianism there (she's popular with the lezzie community at least) so um yeah. Hu Tao (genshin) was kind of an out of pocket one but it's the penchant for trickery, being kind of unhinged, eye color, and long hair. Hyuna (ALNST) is mostly here for her energy, her trauma, the undercurrent of betrayal, and the vibes (again, another fighter). Catra (She-Ra Princesses of Power) is here for the lesbianism, the betrayal, long hair, fighting, and generally being an asshole. Reina (Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns) is here for the short/long hair combo (Mori has a long braid as well as her short hair) and the kind of intimidation factor/rude demeanor.

Okay so this one is going to seem the most unhinged but in my defense I only had two for her going into this. She is more based off of concepts than other characters ngl. Okay we've got Mercedes and Annette both from Fe3H, Annette for her hairstyles and Mercedes for her hair color and personality (Mercy is very kind, gentle, as well as being totally willing to go to town on a mf). Chrissy is a polly pocket she is here because I had one as a kid who came with a bear themed outfit and Mento has v similar vibes. Lillie is here for the frilly white dresses, being chronically underestimated, and the dark past. Umi from Up on Poppy Hill is here for the hairstyles, the kind of messed up past, and the generally hardworking attitude. Lisette (Story of Seasons) she is here because of hairstyle, blonde, and gives a cheery, kind disposition.

tagging @lookatmysillies and @tsukacchako because they asked to be tagged <3

[imperfectnothing]

Btw they're dating (Light belongs to @lookatmysillies)

[imperfectnothing]

Ooo, back again. Just a few minutes apart (fitting for how I am). The bug is back at it again

Smile by Lily Allen for Mori? This or They're Not Happy About Me are probably heavily just me reaching. But I just remembered about the iconic lyric, and it was playing along with They're Not Happy About Me and I'm like "Mori .."

But you can punch my sona if these really are just far reaching songs and don't fit her

Sorry it has taken me a bit to reply to this! I'm going to get to your other ones this evening, as well- but yeagh, god, Smile is extremely Mori, actually. "At first, when I see you cry, yeah, it makes me smile" is literally exactly Mori's likes in her profile, she enjoys making people cry because it amuses her.

The second verse is like, especially her. The song in general is very fitting for Mori but this part, the mentioning of how the subject messed up the singer's mental health, and how the subject will come back and beg for forgiveness but the singer *knows* that it's a lie. It's very evocative of the way that Mento tries to act like nothing happened after the incident while Mori can't forgive or forget.

If you mean the song "They're Not Happy About Me" by Gabriel Templar . . . the lyrics are very fitting for that one, as well. It's not a reach at all hehe! "People talking everywhere, and when they run I know they're scared, they're not happy about me" is accurate to the way that people treat Mori, talking around her and about her, rather than talking *to* her, as well as the repeated line of "you treat me like an animal." One line that is extremely her is the "'Cause I am the enemy I can do anything, I could be better so don't get ahead of me" which is just how she kind of thinks about most people hating her. She just doesn't care, haha.

Anyways thank you so much for these, Luti!! and for the other songs as well- I'm sorry they've been taking me a minute to get to, school has been a bit of a bitch lately, so um, yeah. Thank you, though, it's always nice to get asks from you 🥰

[imperfectnothing]

heyyy!! hope everyone is doing well <3 just wanted to let y'all know that i am going to be doing an update on Memento's profile either later today or this weekend.

Mento is actually the pansexual one (Mori is a lesbian now) and her special talent is *not* tone modulation, that's Mori's special talent and i just forgot to change it like a dumbass. ironically not music related, Memento's special talent is medical training.

btw memento is still available for relationships (they're both available for friendships n stuff but mento is unattached romantically) if anyone is interested in her sopping wet cat energy lmao

[imperfectnothing]

I'm too much of a yapper (hits the camera). Uhm.

Mori and Lovebug Venom by Vane Lily? Meh who knows though

yknow. yknow what. yeah actually this is pretty damn on point, kel.

Love being a poison, one that corrupts (drunk on your lovebug venom) and one that, despite the side-effects, the singer is unable to truly let go of. "Fuck, there's something calling me, begging on my knees to please, for you to keep me," is so utterly Mori, especially before she and Mento had their falling out . . . like Mento wasn't the greatest to her, even before the incident, but Mori had rose-colored glasses and she didn't want to believe that Mento didn't love her in return, instead keeping her around for her dogged devotion. "Kick me around, I'm your parasitic pawn," kind of encapsulates that dynamic, Mori getting something out of their one-sided relationship as much as Mento is, and being willing to brush off anything until she can't ignore it anymore.

The singer viewing themself as worthless and by extension, being unable to view other people as worth much of anything either (I've learned I'm nothing but meat, so it's only fair to treat you just like me, right?) is pretty damn close to one of the key reasons for Mori's own sociopathic-adjacent behavior, not necessarily viewing herself as a person and viewing other people as a way of amusing/entertaining herself.

man this song is really interesting and also a super cool way to look at Mori (and her relationship with Mento). . . thank you for suggesting it to me, Luti!! <3 <3 love you

you're not too much of a yapper btw i've just been really stressed lately (too much so to engage in much) but i am on break from school!! so yay!! i have no excuses anymore (besides crippling sleep deprivation. . .)

[imperfectnothing]

Mori with the song of Songbird by Junie & TheHutFriends?

I don't even know if it fits her. But yeah. Made me think of her (I'll fly away now)

OHHHH Luti . . . Luti, this is actually so fitting for her. Not only the vocal quality of the main singer (almost abrasive, sharp, strong) but the lyrics?? Fuck, man, this actually fits her a lot.

In the lines "Alone, feel it intoxicate you, you're gone, drown in the will of fate" I can feel the echoes of Mori's thoughts during Mento's betrayal, Mori's realization that for the first time, she was completely alone and on the edge of death, losing consciousness. Mento took care of Mori in the aftermath and when Mori woke up, she tried to ask why Mento did what she did- and Mento wouldn't answer (because there was no reason, none other than fear) and the lyrics "Care of hands of the ones that hate you, but it goes like that sometimes, you say. You are the thing they throw away" feel especially fitting for the aftermath of the incident. Mori is putting on a strong front but really, her self esteem and concept of self worth are plummeting into the ground.

While at the Garden and after graduation, the lyrics "Love it or lick it, and go and take it, now give it. I'll bite your tongue 'til it's missing and self destruct like a mission" are more or less what Mori has become, or at least, her presentation. She still views herself as dispensable and relatively worthless but she's stopped really caring about that, enjoying what little time she has before she's dead, flashing sharp teeth and wicked smiles.

The song in and of itself is so emblematic of her, to be honest. Vicious, taunting, the underlying feeling of fear and oppression, uuggh thank you so much for this Luti . . . it's on her playlist 😭

[solei-eclipse]

I'm literally eating this up rock. I'm so invested it's crazy.

mento's memento from mori.... a literal memento mori.... uagh... I wonder how mori feels whenever she sees it? does it make her angry?

I love when sweet looking characters end up doing some pretty bad shit. It's always so interesting to see how the people around them react to the two parties. basically the boy who called wolf right... you cause enough trouble and eventually nobody will be on your side, even when you're the one who's been wronged. it helps that mento looks particularly soft and sheep-like, it's hard to imagine her doing wrong when she looks so harmless.

(also another lyric I associate with them from the song Becky:

you know now everyone hates me a whole bunch

just because I made you cry a little bit at lunch

but I don't feel bad

cause they don't know what we had)

I had a little bit of the same "this person can't possibly do wrong" thing with jioku, except for them it was because jiu was such a rule-abiding and "perfect" high-ranking pet that it was easy for everyone to believe the aimless and incapable kioku was the one to commit such an act.

It's funny because jiu and mori are mostly similar in the sense that they're the ones who enforce that distance in the relationship, mori as punishment to mento and jiu as punishment to himself. they're also the more unfriendly half of the pair, but the difference is that mori has a bad and troublesome reputation while jiu is an upstanding pupil. jiu seeing himself in mori is more of him recognizing the isolation, pessimistic outlook and the sense of being a "villain". in terms of his place in the relationship conflict, he'd uncomfortably relate to mento's nervousness and guilt.

and kio with mori.... kio really only retains her happy-go-lucky attitude because she no longer remembers what happened back then. she doesn't remember what jiu did, so she gets to essentially restart their friendship from scratch while jiu tries desperately to make sure that the truth doesn't slip through the cracks. if she ever found out... she and mori might have some shit to bond over.... there's also the factor of them being viewed as "lesser" than their counterparts.

I'm.goikg to eat them. actually! love your new girls rock. love learning about them thank you so much for such wonderful words and ideas!!!

sorry for barging in your inbox again rock (this is para. unfortunately)

but I can't stop thinking about your new sillies..... first of all I notice the necklace around mentos neck, is that something of sentimental value given to her? it would be pretty fitting for memento to have a memento of her own

second, would mori and nyx know each other? in what way? (if this was answered already I'm so sorry) also will say that mori gives me very six little nightmares vibes and when I saw her profile I got flashbacks. she is Normal and possesses very concerning traits. What A Gal

third. memento mori 🤝 jioku

I think a lot about their relationship and how handshake emoji it is with jioku. and I love them both because they're both similar for the most part but they turn out differently during the important points

they were both originally best friends... then something went horribly wrong in their friendship that lead them to being essentially strangers.

while for memento mori they're both still haunted by the incident that caused their strained relationship (their actions around each other are poisoned by the memory of it and they are no longer on speaking terms), jiokus whole thing is about trying to bury the issue and make it seem like it never happened in the first place, essentially wiping the slate clean and attempting to build something on top of it while the monster lies under the surface. only one of them can remember what happened and he's dug a grave for himself trying to repress the memory.

also jioku 🤝 memento mori: being unfairly blamed by the other person which causes the inciting incident.... though the person who did it for each pair differs

kioku and memento spinning in a circle while jiu sees himself in mori and has a crisis

NEVER UNFORTUNATE PARA!!! i love you and your asks make me so happy, literally I was stimming so hard and squealing happily when I saw this . . . hhngfhfhh

^ literally me when i received this ask. Anyways let me get to the meat of this.

Mento's pendant is a memento, you are correct! It was given to her as a gift by Mori when they were children and despite the fact that they aren't really friends any longer, Mento keeps wearing the pendant. (also one of Mento's symbols in general is rings. Mori has lightning for hers). The joke of Mento's necklace is that it's her "memento" heh, great catch, Para!!

The funniest thing to me about Jioku/Memento Mori parallels is while Jioku tries to wipe the slate clean and pretend like nothing happened, Memento wishes that she could pretend and honestly she kind of does but Mori's vibes towards Mento are so absolutely hostile that it's impossible for Mento to fully play the part. This is one of the reasons that Mento is much more well liked that Mori, I would say- because Mento seems like the victim out of the two of them, when in reality, she's not. That's actually on purpose, as well. I wanted Memento to look really cute and harmless in comparison to Mori while Mori was actually the one who was betrayed out of the two of them. . . it was meant as a subversion of expectations >:)

Memento and Kioku getting along well while Jiu is horrified by how similar he is to Mori is so hilarious to me actually. Mori looks at Jiu and doesn't really think of him as similar to her but I do think she recognizes the immense guilt he carries and that said guilt is the reason why he's so cold. . . She doesn't know why he's guilty but she recognizes it. It's also really interesting how Mori and Jiu are kind of inflection points of each other? The way that they are both pretty similar and yet one was the one who was blamed and the other. well. the other was the bystander.

[imperfectnothing]

jiu recoiling in disgust like an old traditional victorian man whenever he sees asukas ripped uniform pants. send tweet

this is so immensely funny, Para. i love you so much. I love jiu looking away in horror whenever asuka walks by *just* because of asuka's pants

i just. wanted to doodle this out quickly so sorry that Jiu doesn't look perfectly he's hard to capture the essence of, I will admit . . .
