#cause if i think about doing a sheet for story ocs i get all perfectionist and it doesnt happen

[passumstars]

I will likely never get to do anything with her

[hearse-song]

FUCK I love all those titles spill the tea

aaaa okay, this is going to probably going to be Vague and Rambly and Incredibly Long but hell yeah let’s go! (possible spoilers for things that I don’t know if/when they’ll actually be written)

The Daydream That Started It All

Probably the most developed out of all these the OCs have names and everything, but still mostly an unplanned mess bridging more clear scenes. This one started out as a vague daydream that I eventually decided that I wanted to try (keyword being “try”) to actually write. Basically, the soon-to-be-whumpee, Holly, has the bad luck to be in the wrong place at the wrong time during a road trip, and they end up a captive of a whumper who turns out to be an anthropomorphic personification of violence currently going by the name Kate (”currently” because she doesn’t actually think of herself as having a name, and because she’s collected a lot of temporary names during her very, very long time of being around solely to cause problems on purpose). Holly’s able to bargain their way out of being tortured to death, but the captivity part’s still a thing (Kate says they’re friends, Holly Very Much does not agree). They’re later joined by a second whumpee, James, who fun(?) fact was originally intended to be there just to be killed, but I decided it would be more fun to write if Holly had someone else to talk to, and also I ended up liking him too much. I’ve actually started writing this one, and I’ve got some outlines of Shenanigans that will Ensue.       

A Family Can Be Three Unrelated Serial Killers And An Anthropomorphic Personification Of Violence

This one’s actually related to the one above. What’s the fun of having an immortal villain if you can’t play around with them having a historical rap sheet of some sort that lets me fit in more references to my horrifying historical special interests/obsessions? I decided pretty early on when developing her that Kate would have been her universe’s equivalent of at least a couple historical serial killers, including as part of her universe’s equivalent of the Bender family, who I’ve tentatively called the Gebhardts in my story’s universe (big general warning for that link). Because sometimes, Kate comes across humans who know how to party are also super into murder and she decides they’d be fun to hang out with for a while.

I’ve got some ideas for like, how they meet and some Murder Shenanigans, but also, as much as this idea absolutely fascinates me, and as much as I really want to write it, this series is also kind of intimidating? Because a) now there’s four of these assholes to keep track of, and b) I know for certain my perfectionist ass will overthink the historical accuracy of the thing despite this deliberately being an alternate universe/alternate history deal. But, I guess we’ll see. This one, though, is one of the ones that has an actual title. If I ever write it, the series if going to be officially called “Likely Companions”.

All Roads Lead To Cannibalism

This one is still just a vague idea of “I should really write a survival cannibalism piece one of these days, that’d be fun.” I’m not really sure yet the events that would lead up to said survival cannibalism, or what time period I want to set it in, just that sometimes when a group of people get lost in the mountains, sometimes things happen. But! This is the only other story that I might have a real title for. I’m thinking if I ever actually finish it it’s going to be called “’Tis A Curious Place” as a reference to my favorite lines from the song “Words From The Executioner To Alexander Pearce”:

And tell me how do we taste It's a curious place, a mountain To resort to customs of the sea

because listen, this piece is already going to be incredibly self-indulgent, I may as well get a reference to a special interest in there too 

Local Immortal Straight Up Not Having A Good Time Right Now

Oooh, now this one’s the most recent, and is a bit of a half-formed thing. I actually got the idea as part of a dream, and it was fun enough that I wanted to try making it into it’s own thing. It’s more captivity whump, and the bare-bones basic idea from the dream was of a whumpee as the shared captive of two serial killer whumpers. I actually decided on the whumpee later on, but I figured that both me and the whumpers could have way more fun with a whumpee with regenerative healing powers. I’ve got some incredibly vague ideas for this (there will absolutely be cannibalism at some point, I’m certain of that) but I’m still at the stage of figuring out who the fuck everyone even is.

That said, some things I do know about this nonsense. Whumpee has been on the receiving end of being whumped at least once before in their past (though nothing quite like this situation) and Cannot Believe they’re having to go through this bullshit again. And, the whumpers were already friends but neither of them knew that the other was also a serial killer until they both went to dump a body at the same place at the same time because I thought it would be funny and then team-up happened.

Victorian-Era Surgery Is A Hell Of A Thing

This one is actually probably the most vague, another “I should try writing this, it sounds fun” thing. Basically like, I’d never been all that interested in medical or lab whump until I saw this post (that I can’t find again for the life of me) on ideas for steampunk whump, and one of the ideas was essentially lab whump but with Victorian era surgical and medical capabilities, pre-anesthesia and all, and I was pretty much just *slams a copy of Lindsey Fitzharris’ “The Butchering Art” down onto the table* count me the fuck in (my story probably won’t end up being steampunk, I really like that genre but I’m feeling writing a more historical piece, if I ever get an actual idea for the thing)
