rtc oct day 5!

october has lowkey been a super busy month for me and i forgot i was doing this for a hot second lol, but i’m back again to hopefully finish this challenge (we’ll see)

prompt: headcannon

i’ve been rotating the idea of writing a fic for the rtc gang for about a week now and thought if i do end up writing something, i’d like to make some personal designs so i could make art to go along with it and here’s what i came up with! more info below the cut!

completely accidentally turned this into 1 hc about their hair and then 1 hc about their personal style whoops lol. if anyone wants to hear more, please ask me bc i’ve been thinking about this fic for daaaaaaays

ocean: you can take the ocean dyes her hair in solidarity with constance hc out of my dead cold hands, i love it sm. i think she probably also did it in part to get a reaction from her parents, but they didn’t even notice which was worse. also, miss o’connell rosenberg is tiny.

noel: now he might get a slight redesign bc the current hair unfortunately is making him look like the man in the yellow hat. he currently looks like a mix of a lot of the guys i’ve done theater with. he would consider accessorizing (jewelry, pins, maybe a scarf), but he doesn’t need to stand out anymore than he already does as the only openly gay kid in town.

misha: hasn’t had a haircut since coming to uranium bc his adoptive parents don’t want to spend the money or time on it and he doesn’t want to make his hair look worse, so it’s grown out. has two sleeves of self made stick and poke tattoos bc he thought a tattoo would look cool and piss of his adoptive parents (it did) and just kept doing it.

ricky: has had the same haircut his entire life, although he would consider growing it out longer. recently had to get glasses and was very excited to learn that some have different colors/patterns and his current pair has a leopard print pattern on them.

penny: styles her hair in two braids bc she thinks it looks nice and also likes seeing how her hair becomes more curly once out of the braids. probably has rbf and almost always has headphones on bc she doesn’t want people to mess with her.

constance: i love love love zoë lewis-mclean’s connie sm and so i took the hairstyle but added the purple hair dye. i didn’t draw them yet (but i might for day 6) but i think she made a friendship bracelet for each member of the choir for fun and they all made her one back, so she is the only choir member with all 5 bracelets.

big fan of when grief drives characters to do fucked up things that are ultimately pointless and do more harm than good rather than just like. going to therapy

take my hand for a moment

your objective from this point on is to survive

the election results are going to take a few days. The world is going to be very tense. I want you to take all the things you like to do to distract yourself and splurge on them. I want you to go eat your favroite foods and spend time with friends. I want you to do what you gotta do to make sure you can make it through the week.

There are people out there who want you to survive. There are people out there who are just as scared as you are.

We'll get through this. We will find a way

Mostly spoiler free summary of my viewing experience

[inkskinned]

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

uhhh was nobody going to talk about how the new update makes the site virtually unusable for crustaceans ???

honestly even if we tell staff you know they're not going to do anything. crustaceans make up such a small percentage of oceanblr right now that it's going to be impossible to get them to care. the treatment of anyone who isn't a bony fish on this website is atrocious tbh

organizing my art folder I found this one drawing sitting there for months bc I didn't like how it turned out and meant to come back to it later but never did lol

but on second thought I guess it looks fine so I might as well post it now 😅

also I've been pretty much MIA these past few months bc life (good and bad) and tbh it was nice, so I'll mostly stay that way, I think... pop back now and then, whenever I finish more drawings lol

i have suddenly become obsessed with a theme that HoO established but never proceeded to extrapolate on, which is:

You are Percy Jackson, and you have been swapped with a boy who was allegedly everyone's favorite person, but they have decided to replace him with you. They just met you. You stand next to his best friend and the people he's known his entire life. In his home. In his cloak. In his place. They stopped looking for him.

You are Jason Grace, and you have just found out you have a long lost sister who completely replaced you in her life with this girl you just met. Your lives and personalities are mirrors. She is you, living the life you were robbed of.

You are Annabeth Chase, and you have just become starkly aware that you have been inhabiting the void left behind by your best friend's long lost brother. You and Luke were just replacements for him. Now you have to look him in the eyes when he has nothing and know you took that life from him.

You are Piper McLean, and you have just found out your relationship is fake and built entirely on the memories of Annabeth Chase. You have been given a boyfriend when hers has been taken away. You have no idea how much of it is real or not but regardless you feel like if your relationship isn't exactly in their image that you have failed.

You are Leo Valdez, and you have just learned that you are the echo of your great-grandfather. You are not your own person. You just exist to be a mirror of him. A doppelganger. An actor and stunt double facing all the danger he never had to but wearing his face. To be there for his best friend decades later simply because he couldn't. You are playing a role. A seventh wheel and a pawn for a goddess who carefully sculpted your entire life for her own purposes.

You are Hazel Levesque, and the only reason you are alive is because your brother couldn't save your his sister. You are a consolation prize. An apology. Your existence here is misplaced in every way but you inhabit it anyways.

You are Frank Zhang, and you are a shapeshifter. Inhabiting your own body feels strange and clumsy when you could be literally anything at any time. You are anything and everything and live your life with the simple certainty of knowing exactly how you will die.
