#arsontastic ocs

[arsontastic-fandom-takes]

Howdy!! I have emerged from my little hovel and bring character concept stuff for another story I'm working on!! This is Lorne!

She's also a dragonborn, but she's more paladin-esque than Massacre is. Super happy with her design expect for her ears, which I might post a different post when I've decided what to do for altmer ears and stuff.

I'm really liking the effect on A2 but I'm still not 100% sure I want to do her ears in that shape.

Anyway that's all for this update!! I just wanted to share her concept art bc I'm super proud of it!!

Hey, so I've decided to just keep this as a pinned post until I update the old one/make a new one.

Hi, I'm arson and I sometimes make, draw, and write things. I also reblog things here.

My requests are technically open and I have one request that I haven't forgotten about and plan to finish at some point, but writing just isn't fully where my brain is at the moment and this is a hobby for me, not a job. I'm still working on fics that I have spoken about and am passively thinking about them, but the best way to describe their state at the moment is that they are meads that I am fermenting and they are also things I am lettibg simmer in the back of my head like soup. I occasionally start oneshots aswell, but none have been posted yet since I've realised I dislike posting things concretely until they're done because of the possibility that I'll abandon them/change them completely. I'm slowly getting better in regards to being creative, as you might see from my recent(and hopefully continuing) influx of original fanart posts, but I have been struggling to write and be creative in general for a while due to dysphoria being yucky and my disabilities making it hard to think/be productive sometimes.

I try to keep a pretty accurate tagging practice, but I've been here a while and need to sit down at some point and do a backlog of editing posts' tags to my system. If you are looking for/would appreciate a tag index, it'll be under the cut. The cut is here for blog accessibility. I will update this post to be accurate as time continues

Currently, if you're looking for an original post of mine, this is the category I especially want to look back on and change the tags of. So apologies that this is a bit hard to source at the moment.

From now on, I want to start tagging my posts this way so that you can differentiate between when I posted something I made/did vs when I reblog something from someone:

_My creative stuff/own posts_

#original post - used to group together all of my original posts, including: talking about things that wouldn't fully fit within my arsontastic rambles tag, text posts that aren't writing, writing, any jokes/memes I post, and my art!

#arsontastic original - used to just generally make all of my creative posts easy to find. For general original posts, the previous tag is used. This tag is specifically for my fandom-centered original posts where I show off things I made/wrote/etc

#arsontastic writing - Generally all of my writing content. If you are looking for my fics and headcanons, etc, this is where you'll be able to find them

#arsontastic fanart -all of my artistic, non-writing, content. This is a bit more general than the writing tag. You'll be able to find things like traditional and digital fanart I've done and also any other artistic stuff I've done!!

#arsontastic ocs - not currently a tag, but I've realised I want to add a tag where you can find info/ posts about my ocs. (For eg. Massacre) without having to look at their individual tags.

_Important Blog Navigation_

This post has made me realise I also don't have a tag for blog updates/talk, which is something that I would like to be easily found, so I'll start adding this one:

#blog updates and Shenanigans

Up until recently, I've only had one tag for everything I reblog and then fandom tags, but I've realised that that kind of prevented me from reblogging as much as I want to because I would be worried about something or another relating to it, so I'm going to, from now on, try to reblog with the following tags:

I do have a tag that I use for when I'm talking about things, which this post also has:

#arsontastic rambles -this is used to indicate my rambles/posts about varying things. ( For eg. I don't remember if the post has the tag, but I want to add it to it; my post where I talk about how I love fictional up languages and you can tell my parents are interpreters by how I engage with fandom. This is evident from my currently being worked on on and off elder scrolls language index

I'd also like to add tag for all of my own, and other people's resources for various things.

#useful resources is what it'll be for now, but it might change/gain section in the future

_Reblogs_

#reblog - still will be used for all reblogs, mostly for ease of movement

#reblogging other people's art - as the name suggests, this is the tag that I use to differentiate between textposts, memes, and other reblogs vs art/fanart reblogs(including writing) this tag is subject to change.

I'm debating whether or not to add a small index of fandom tags, so if that is something people would like, I'll add it.

Here are my oc-specific tags. I've only really talked about Massacre on here so far, but there are more and they will gain tags when I do talk about them. (I am putting tags here for characters that have names already and stories but I haven't talked about yet, too): (worth noting: almost all of my characters are trans, and all of my mcs are)

_Original Character section_

#Skyrim oc -for grouping together all of my skyrim characters

#Massacre the Last Dragonborn -Massacre's tag. Although I am considering also just tagging them as Massacre gro-shub aswell. Anyway, important info: Urag gro-shub's kid and is also a skyrim oc, paired with Taliesin, nonbinary, a sucker for kids even if they do dislike/not trust most people. They/them

#Lorne the Dragonborn -Lorne's (who is currently being developed but I have basic ideas and notes for her story already.)'s tag. Important info: is an oc for a skyrim fic, is a follower/ chosen of Lorkhan, trans, straight, paired with Teldryn Sero, and is technically an isekai! She/her

#Stardew Valley oc - not used yet but will be the grouping tag for all of my stardew ocs

#Grass the Farmer - Grass's tag. Haven't really talked about him at all yet. Important info: stardew valley farmer oc, is for a crossover fic, paired with Eskel from the witcher, unhinged (tm), trans, mlm, and is on year 6 with the average of 2 hearts with villagers. He/they

There are two other characters that will have tags at some point, but I don't really know how to phrase their tags yet so I'll just tell you about them here: Wiryar- my silmarillion oc. They're paired with Maglor and their story is meant to touch a lot on how religion can be used for bigotry and the original generation of elves/elf culture wasn't a fun time to be different in their version of middle-earth Their name is the verb for changing and they named themselves after that specifically because it is one of the things they value most. They're also an opportunity for me to be proud of ny country's foliage and environments because Tolkein wrote Middle Earth with South Africa in mind and my goodness, if I have a chance to be proud of my country and share my love for it, I will take it!!! Then there is also Kikyomatsu - they are an oc for the anime Demon Slayer and they're paired with Muzan. They, and their story in general, are an opportunity for me to explore the topic of disability and how that has affected me and how it can impact you as a person. This will kind of have two versions, both being similar and yet different. The main aspect is reincarnation. In one version, Kikyomatsu doesn't remember their past lives. In the other, they do. Both are going to be fun to write and share some key elements, but they will have different timelines and the method of connection is different. In the one where they don't remember, they are consistently running into Muzan by chance and it's something that Muzan has to grapple with(but doesn't) on his own for the majority of their lives. In the one where they do, though, they are actively seeking him out once they realise he's still alive and they won't allow him to push away the things he has to work through.

I might make Lore guides/story-specufic guides in the future because I tend to add a lot or change some things for every story I write. (Eg. I will be making an entire version of pop culture for Stardew Valley in Grass' story because why not :))) also because I find it fun to do silly world building like this!)
