#and the two just have this sort of rivalry that the oc guy doesn't seem to take too seriously

[imp-thing]

i have this tangle tower oc i keep forgetting to draw/redesign but i feel like the color palette is a little too close to hawkshaw's and i don't have any actual ideas for it so i don't really ever talk about him

[unstoppable-ratlord]

Charles is talking about his acting career to Thomas <33333

Ur OC is so skrukly it took me away from my exam revision to draw this /pos anyway please infodump im so invested in his lore already.

Like how does the pining start?? Which characters is he closest to??? LITERALLY ANYTHING he’s so cool 🙏

OH MY GOODNESSSSS MY BABY BOYYYY <3333 LOOK AT HIMM HES BEAUTIFUL AHHHHHH *CRIES RLLY LOUDLY AND GROSSLY* 💕💕

Fr though it's so amazing to see that there's someone as invested in Charlie as I am. A sincere thank you for enabling me to keep yapping about my cringefail son I will use this for evil <3

the endless deranged ramblings of a madman below please beware 👇

I definitely think he has a pretty good reputation amongst the other ghosts, like I see it as being that they all like him as just being a sweet little guy, but he doesn't really have any close bonds to any of them in particular, except maybe Pat and/or Kitty, with them all being quite sweet and optimistic.

I feel like he'd definitely get along with the Captain, them having almost a sort of mentor/student dynamic, I feel like Charlie sees him as a sort of role model or maybe even a father figure, as Charlie was never old enough to fight in the war when he was alive, despite always wanting to

Thomas, I think would at the very least appreciate him, with Charlie being the only one who'd willingly listen to his poetry or occasional ramblings, but I don't think they'd really be considered friends. Hw might not entirely know why Charlie's always so willing to listen to him, but certainly doesn't argue against having a captive audience

On the other hand, Julian has definitely clocked Charlie's feelings for Thomas and would definitely make a joke or two about it, much to Charlie's shock and dismay that he'd even suggest such a thing (I love them having a little petty rivalry sm ♥️)

Now that you've made it this far, here have some slightly old doodles of him before we continue

Onto Charles himself, my guy seems to have no clue about his own feelings for Thomas, (though maybe he knows the truth deep down somewhere and doesn't want to admit it??) he truly believes it's just a simple admiration (it's not 💔) so it's kinda hard to pinpoint when his feelings started developing, though I personally quite like the idea of it being quite quick after they first meet, though that may be just because I find the idea of "Charlie dies and instantly has a bisexual awakening" quite amusing. Though is do understand that ninety years is quite a long time to be unknowingly pining after this one guy so idrk

If/when he does figure it out, however, he would most definitely have a small breakdown, not just because he definitely has some severe internalised homophobia, but he'd also still want to love his wife, despite the fact she killed him. Which I find to be quite a more sad part of his character, how he continues to want to love and forgive Penny despite the fact she literally murdered him (I do kind of like them as a couple though so I have been thinking over making his poisoning and accident or not because I really want them to be cute together without me feeling bad about what happens aggh)

Anyway I feel I should stop so there you have it, if you want to continue to feel completely normal™ about him, he does have an official theme song playlist if you wanna give it a listen heheheh

Also uuugh yeah even though him and Thomas may be canonically very much one-sided, I definitely do like to think of them being a couple sometimes, or at least Charles having his feelings returned. Charlie may not be able to handle all those sonnets and endless words of praise though

Also I've decided. their ship name is screenwriter

Do with that as you will
