[zzoupz]

oc questions !!! feel free to answer all or none :))

1. tell me about your favorite! (/pos)

2. tell me about your least favorite! (/pos) (stinky awful garbage man *gender neutral)

3. anything living in your head rent free? story concept, single scene without context, oc concept you wont get around to making?

4. tell me about your favorite relationship (friendship included!) between ocs!

5. do you have a favorite oc name? what is it and how'd you get it?

6. anything driving you truly batshit? going insane over them?

7. tell me something sad about an oc!

8. tell me something sweet about an oc!

9. any ""retired"" ocs you still think about?

10. pick a favorite character n tell me three songs you think theyd like!

hihi! sorry this is a bit late I want to get back on my pc for this

1. oh damn I have multiple favorites! I think ones that I enjoy the most (at the moment) are them

(yellow: Lee Harrison | blue: Bryan Dickinson)

they are basically a (in the 2000s) newbie punk band formed by two friends who are like brothers to each other. they bonded over both having not so great families (not like tragic-backstory awful but yknow. the average traditional family)

yeah I still can't figure out what their band name would be. yeah since 2020. sorry. such is life.

while they're not the ones I've wrote the most about, as in not much at all, I just really like them :)

2. Bartholomew. I used to like him then I realize how generic he is so I hate him now (/j) (yeah I actually do want to post about him less though)

3. been thinking about the dynamic normal human x immortal who finds them in every life. so simple and common but I go insane over it every time. I think it would be fun

4. ohohohoho man ok here are some in no particular orders

Time & Denial core, Denial/Dan (black hair, also the last image) is by @/ akamavarii

they were basically our coresonas, but they've became their own characters at this point so I think it counts

friends who commits OSHA violations together!!!

they share 1 brain cell and takes turns over it like an Xbox (quote from ami himself)

Iandithas & Lumeous (if you noticed one of the name changed its bc I did)

a bard & a wizard duo who are retired and are now a shopkeeper & a chemist

its funny I care about them this much bc Lumeous was supposed to be a dad and a side character to my other oc and Iandithas was a doodle of a random guy and now they mean the world to me

there have been like 5 people who pointed out that they look like a couple and you're right and I fucking hate that you're right. and they were roommates etc

Overseer / Conqueror

this one is new very obviously but I've been thinking about them for a LONG while.

friends to lovers to enemies heehoo heehoo heehoo heehoo heeh

can you tell I like it when queer relationships

5. Fakzky HAS to have my favorite origin. fun fact there's a bot on facebook that would combine the names of their followers (only if they request, don't worry) and it was my source of inspo for my fantroll names in 2020, Fakz is the only one I took completely from it and the post is still there!

6. the 35 awesome and cool animatics that exists in MY mind

7. oh man I don't wanna say something sad :( mostly bc I'm bad at it and it would sound cringe :(

8. I have a plague doc oc and she has 3 pet rats ^_^ they're all named after murderers from the bible but yeah whatever

(Dias Cain Jael in that order btw)

9. hmmm them I think. I make stuff about them way less nowadays but still draw them time to time. Cath is from 2018 and funnily is originally a fusion of two characters. and Danya is from early 2021 when I was just trying stuff out. I made them friends just cuz I think they look like they would do drugs together

10. I have no idea man I created them not know them (I am so so bad at this)

Just finished re-reading Homestuck thanks to those magnificent bastards that put together the unofficial collection. Anyone who's been following me for any great length of time will know that I was DEEP into that webcomic and the surrounding fan base insanity in late high school/early college. Go back far enough in my blog and you'll find all SORTS of shit I reblogged, posted about, etc. Homestuck was my first big fandom; I cosplayed, I made fantrolls, I theorized, and it was a wonderful time all around.

Now, some six years after its conclusion and without the benefit of the fanbase insanity and all of the hiatuses making me lose track of the plot, I can only say this;

Homestuck is a good webcomic

I know that most all of you are thinking "Yeah, no shit", but I really think it bears clarifying that statement. Most of the positive memories I have regarding Homestuck were really more about the fandom experience and the fact that it helped me get some of my first real, genuine friends in a tumultuous time in my life. I had considered going back to re-read it for a while, but I was always too busy and my computer too shitty to want to slog through a junk web browser to try. Then Flash got taken behind the woodshed and had both barrels tearfully put through its confused and oblivious little face, and I didn't want to have the experience sullied by watching YouTube rips of the flashes. That wasn't the experience I initially had, so I just decided to shelve the idea until a better solution presented itself.

Thank god for the good people that put the unofficial collection together and preserved the format as intended breathing life back into that desire, and my decision that I really wasn't gonna get to involved back with a lot of my old fandom stuff during this re-read. I was gonna let the comic ride on its own merits, and push the ancillary stuff to the background. I haven't read the epilogues, I haven't touch Beyond Canon, and I haven't played Hiveswap/Friendsim/Pesterquest. As far as I know Homestuck ended with Act 7 back in 2016. So, without the excesses of the wider Homestuck universe cloying at me, I wanted to see if it was really as good as I remembered, and it honestly was.

I think so many people fell off of Homestuck after it ended because they didn't want to be associated with an old hobby that they thought of as "cringe" in hindsight because of the frankly embarrassing shit a lot of us in the fandom did during its heyday. They kind of retroactively decided that, since they were embarrassed about what Homestuck fans had done, then presumably Homestuck itself was the problem. Suffice to say, this was not the case, and I say this as survivor of the MLP:FiM fandom. Homestuck was never the problem; people trying to seem above old interests was.

At its core, Homestuck is a story about friendship. It's a story about video games. It's a story about family. It's a story about love. It's a story about hate. It's a story about puppets. It's a story about fate. It's a story about stories. It's a story about growing up. Homestuck is a lot of things to a lot of people; it's an old flame and an old shame and an old friend and an old rival all balled up into one complicated mess of a webcomic.

But ya know what? Homestuck is good, for all of what it was, and is, and will be.

Hiveswap And Horror: Possibility Of Scary Segments

I like that these are all Hiveswap and theories, that’s a vibe. Nothing really impressive here but I just wanted to commemorate the year I finally started actually making my own????? posts? Wild. In case we’ve all forgotten I still really fucking hate my number 1 but what can you do, mistakes will follow you around until you die

so i reached 300+ followers a lil while ago and while that may not seem like a lot but for what is basically an oc blog that’s... so many. it’s like my own little fandom. and i haven’t been able to do a giveaway or pump out new adopts like i wanted to bc of motivation + depression issues but i still want to give a proper thank you 💛

when i started this blog i was at what i could easily call the worst time of my whole life. i had just gotten out of my abusive mother’s grip and literally 1000 miles away from home alone at an expensive college i wasn’t ready for that didn’t have any majors i was interested in, failing all of my classes and only living off $100 a month. my cat who i’ve spent my whole childhood with was given away even though my mother had previously promised i could take him with me as a support pet. my dog was given away and i never got to say goodbye. i hadn’t talked to my father for two years. i was going through awful dsyphoria and couldn’t do anything to start T even though i was away from my mother. i was away from my boyfriend at the time who was the only thing that mattered to me. i was regressing into trauma that my ex gave me over again. i got scammed out of $200 right before christmas when i was supposed to come home. i had fallen into the deepest depression i had ever been in. i almost sent myself to a mental health center because i was so scared of myself and what i would do if i stayed. cops had to be called once.

and i hated my art.

just a year or so prior to that, i was an art thief. i traced over other’s art and turned it into my own. it was a habit i had learned since i started drawing and never truly learned how bad it was. this habit continued until i was 16/17. it was unhealthy for me. all i knew is that when i traced art, it was good and people liked it, and that when i didn’t, my art was bad and nobody paid attention. so i kept doing it. i had my own comic by the title of “the maker’s game” in development at the time that i got actual, genuine feedback and interest in for the first time, until i was caught finally.

and of course, it sucked for everybody. it sucked for the original artist, to say the very least, which i will never stop feeling guilty about. it sucked for me because now i couldn’t get away with it anymore and just had the rudest awakening of my life. i deleted everything i had and started over.

so, a year and a half or so later at 18 when i ran off to college, i had barely touched my art. i hated everything about it. the only thing i had liked about it was fake and wrong and just an asshole move in general so i hadn’t drawn. i had inspiration, but nothing came out how i wanted and i spent most of my days miserable, already in the worst state i had ever been and not even able to draw to get some energy out. i had started a new blog here but i never posted art, had no followers anymore, and if i did post art a lot of times i’d get a “oh yea you’re that art thief lmao i recognize ur oc lmao” anons just rubbing my past in my face. it’s justified, but it still hurt.

somewhere around that time i got kind of in the mood to redo my old fantrolls, just to give it a shot. the original cast: peirez, vitani, whovyx, reliix, dyinox, syblaise, cicero, kairos, and rodesi. and of course my eye caught onto some adoptables, too, and i spent some of my $100 a month on them. the first ones being furbea and vivien. just because they made me happy. of course i was still nervous about cringe culture, but it made me happy. so i drew them.

vivien’s sprites were first. as soon as i started posting i had 10 followers, which was already so much more than i had ever expected. i made more characters. i made more sprites. whovyx was next, and people ate him up. i reblogged more memes and talked to more people despite being terrified. i still hated my art with a passion because it wasn’t what it had been when i traced but people seemed to like it anyways? so i kept going.

and it goes from there. more characters, more sprites, more interactions, more followers. so many more followers. people were excited to see what i was producing and excited to see my characters and INTERESTED in them and the lives i made for them. i’ve made so many mutuals and so many wonderful new friends here. i’m up to 300 followers. 300 people have decided to take time out of their lives to be interested in what content i create. maybe i’m selfish, but i love the attention. i think any content creator would, to have somebody so interested in their ocs and stories. it delights me in ways i can’t describe. every day i log onto my computer and check my inbox and check my activity and with every reblog or anon or dm my heart swells just a little bit.

people like my art. people are interested in what i have to say and tell. people are interested in interacting with me and my characters. people are asking questions and pointing out details that they like and i could not ask for anything better. no amount of “tys” and “😭” could actually ever explain how overwhelmingly good it feels. that’s all of you guys. all of you guys have been so supportive of me and my characters and everything. and yeah, i fuck up sometimes, and i’ve absolutely fucked up in the past, but i’m learning having somebody there to tell you you fucked up and helping you with it rather than telling you and leaving you with it is so much better.

so, through the good and the couple of “bad” moments, thank you guys so much. i’m sorry this is such a long rant about just me but i wanted to try to get it into words how much all of this means to me and why it means so much. if i told my 12 year old self that people were interested in my fantrolls and i was the happiest i’ve ever been because of it she wouldn’t believe me. it still seems so unreal. i’m sorry this is so cheesy and probably suuuper conceited but 😭💛 i love you guys

it is currently real sappy hours
