#but tbh i have a very vague understanding of wally as a character and ive never written him before either

[scaredofmyocs]

My OCs post

(when i say their relationships with other characters i mean MOSTLY because yk if i ever make it its a comic......... time passes......... relationships with other characters could form or resolve or change)

Quinn (They/Them) (just teenage like 15-17 i didnt give them a specific age) (Character Design up to date)

blue hair and pronouns/j energetic, impulsive, doesnt do anything they dont think is nice to people (unless they think they deserve it), pretty gullible, a little dumb and forgetful, and doesnt understand pop culture references too well. I might make them say a lot of 20s-40s slang for fun idk

you only get basic details of backstories bc im still semi embarrased. this one has bad dad woah!!!

Very acrobatic, super strength, (i dont know if going over 40mph on rollerblades is a unique ability but here is me mentioning it) Yo Yos!!! with metal wires for string!!! i dont know how they work dont ask!!!

Friends with Wally and Moss

Moss (She/They) (same age as Quinn) (Character Design is out of date)

Intelligent combat tactician and the only one who knows "proper" combat (like practiced fighting and learned it from someone, i say this so vaguely because im not sure what kind yet lmao). She also is very gullible, and is from a completely different universe/dimension thing so a lot of phrases/pop culture references go over their head. She thinks through things a lot more than quinn would, however just as nice.

She worries shes not doing enough!!!!! and magical depression

Master of whatever combat i decide i like (later), Acrobatic, super strength, just as fast as Quinn but would rather ride a skateboard, her glasses can read out important info and weak points and also look cool

Friends with Wally and Quinn

Wally (he/him) (same age as quinn) (Character Design up to date)

Hes tough and a nerd, and compared to the other 2 hes kind of quiet. Hes not smart but hes not dumb. He is incredibly cautious, and not easily fooled. He makes references all the time (despite them usually not being gotten but he tries to make ones that can be understood by his friends.) Hes pretty chill.

No parents??? no friends???? no social skills??? isolated in every way???????? (no parents, hasnt had many friends in his life, has a hard time talking to people and making friends, has a hard time keeping up with moss and quinn due to not being superhuman in any way)

Strong and has a paintball gun that turns into his fingerless gloves. yeah hes just a guy.

Friends with Quinn and Moss

Sarah (She/Her) (young adult 19-25) (Character Design up to date)

Girl himbo (strong and dumb and considered attractive by most) shes laid back and plays bass in her band and despite being kind of dumb it doesnt mean she doesnt have useful advice for Quinn, Moss, and Wally.

average young adult problems like being poor (on top of taking care of quinn and moss might i add) and not being able to get an actual job

her bass can do magic things depending on which pick shes using, for example the only thing ive thought of is make explosions come from the ground

dating and in a band with Jenny and Oz, Legal guardian of Quinn (not moss tho)

Jenny (she/her) (around the same age as sarah) (Character Design is out of date)

also laid back, not very expressive, kind of quiet. helpful to wally

idk what her problem is tbh maybe something similar to wally or being hunted bc she's an angel

Oh yeah btw she's an angel and that's where wally gets his gloves and Sarah got her bass bc she can just make stuff like that. That's also why her natural hair color is main character syndrome pink but she bleached it bc she wanted to be blonde

dating and in a band with Sarah and Oz

Oz (he/him) (around the same age as Sarah) (Character Design is out of date)

He's also also laid back. the band is his he's the main guy he sings and manages it or whatever (I has never been in a band sadly) he's nice and helps out Sarah when she can't afford things for Quinn and Moss. He'd probably help Moss with feeling like she's not enough/doing enough

Ex issues!!!!

bends metal but it's cool because he has swords that can change into shields wow I'm so creative and maybe x ray vision??? still thinking about if that would even be relevant ever

Dating and in a band with Jenny and Sarah

Cyclone (he/him) (older than Quinn but still 15-17) (Character Design is up to date, but some pieces of the outfit were added for this drawing only)

crazy bitch that is the embodiment of energetic, quick to upset (any negative emotion really), sometimes violent, generally not ok but tends to be really goofy and regardless

Abandonment issues AND bad dad!!!

Mfer is fueled by emotion and lightning, and can manipulate moisture, electricity, wind, and has telekinesis. That sounds overpowered bc he is. He initially wants to kill Quinn

Ex friends with Quinn before becoming friends again (also kinda siblings like raised together), and kinda friends with QX-A

QX-A (He/him) (he's a robot so it doesn't really matter but I guess the same age as Quinn technically but actually is like around 1 year old lmao) (Character Design is out of date)

Idk right now hes just hunting Quinn so I haven't had time to think ab it

He will get kicked out by the person that made Quinn (and cyclone) eventually

Quantum dashing (litterally jumping through space a small amount I think I might change it), nearly indestructible much more so than Quinn, random robot weapons, flying.

He's a robot idk who he's friends with

There's also the main bad guy Sycamore but I will deal with that later, just know he is Quinn and Cyclone and QX-As Dad but not biologically he just made them in a lab and Quinn escaped and cyclone and QX-A have to get them back

I think thats it

ill probably update this from time to time but I'll be sure to reblog it if I do

“sometimes i feel i’m being crushed under the weight of everything i’ll never be” pls omg 🤲

(Okay okay im so excited for this one!!! You didn't give me a character, so! I'm running with Dick and Wally!)

"Dude, you have to talk about your feelings at some point. You know that, right?" Realistically, yes, Dick Grayson knew that. He was stubborn and impulsive, and a little reckless from time to time, but he wasn't stupid. In fact, he was pretty damn smart.

But smarts can only get you so far, and they certainly don't make handling your emotions any easier. Especially not when you were raised by a genius in a fucking batsuit that had the ability to show the emotional spectrum of a block of stale cheese, and that was pushing it on a good day. Dick Grayson was hyper-aware of everything that crossed his mind, and because he knew it was bullshit and unreasonable to feel the way he was, he settled on the most rational way to handle it.

Ignore it.

"I'm fine, Wally. Really, I'm okay." Dick said, avoiding the stare being sent his way. He couldn't do this right now. Wally couldn't catch his eye, no matter how hard he tried. Dick knew better, it seemed, because Wally was absolutely attempting to break him via the puppy eyes.

"Are you, Dick? Cause to me it looks like you had a total meltdown in front of half the current Justice League because of... telepathy? I'll be honest, I don't even know what happened there." Wally admitted, holding out a hand to rest on Dick's shoulder. "It's like Bruce looked at you and you just... lost it. What's going on, man?"

Dick froze as he felt Wally touch his shoulder, sighing quietly as he felt some small part of him collapse in on itself. Wally wouldn't ask if he didn't care, he knew that. But something about this whole thing made his stomach turn. He hated giving voice to his feelings; he'd much rather bottle everything up until it exploded, much like it had today. But when he looked up, he found nothing but concern written across his friend's face.

"Wally... damnit, I hate that you can wear me down like that." Dick finally said, slumping in on himself as Wally lead him over to the table in the center of the room. Assigned seating be damned, Wally plopped down in the designated Lantern chair and Dick took the spot beside him in the designates Wonder Woman spot.

"Whenever you're ready, I'll be here to listen. I'm just worried, bud." Wally admitted, watching the way Dick fought some silent, unseen foe behind his eyes. It took fifteen minutes, Wally kept count, for Dick to finally speak again.

"Sometimes... sometimes it feels like I'm being crushed under the weight of everything I'll never be." Dick muttered, gaze fixated on the floor between his feet. The words burned as they came out, and Dick felt like he might get sick if he had to say it again. "Its like... no matter what I do, no matter how much good I do or how far I make it, it's always going to reflect back on this impossible standard. B, he doesn't give praise lightly. And I know that, but... shouldn't doing good mean that you at least acknowledge the accomplishments instead of focusing on the mistakes?"

Wally sat quietly, turning the words over in his mind as he considered what Dick said. Dick made good points, though he supposed he'd never understand the real problems between his friend and Bruce. Wally had only ever (and would only ever) know as much as he needed to, and he was okay with that. But Dick was obviously in pain for a greater reason than Wally realized.

"Dick, I can't pretend to understand what kind of psychological warfare goes on between you and him. That's way out of my wheelhouse, and I'm not going to bullshit you." Wally said, reaching over to rest a hand on Dick's knee. Dick lifted his head, meeting Wally's eyes as he listened. "But I do know that that guy has like... zero idea how an everyday person thinks. He acts like he's never experienced a human emotion in his life sometimes, and that's not a fair reflection of you."

"You do so much for everyone else, dude. You stretch yourself thinner than Plasticman and bend over backwards for the people you care about, and when you're spread that thin, you're bound to mess up from time to time. But I don't think for one second that there's a standard you're trying to live up to that you haven't already met in everyone else's eyes." Wally said, smiling as he sat up straight, reaching over to bump his fist gently against Dick's chest.

It pulled a laugh from somewhere deep inside Dick's chest, a light that he hadn't even realized was beginning to fizzle out. But then again, Wally always did have that spark about him. Dick figured there was a friction joke in there somewhere, but he kept it to himself when Wally spoke again.

"You're a good man, Dick. One of the best. Now let me be a good guy too, and hand some of that weight over. Nobody's getting crushed on my watch, you got that?"
