Hi there, I’m not trying to be mean when I ask this, but do you have permission to use the fanart you post with your fics? I don’t see artist credits and know many Japanese artists do not like their art to be reposted, especially not without credit.

Hello lovely anon! Thank you so much for asking about art in my fics. I appreciate you starting this conversation, and am very happy to have this reopen again.

When I began my journey of writing fics, I used to use gifs already premade on this site and have them as the title image. As my interest in the characters spread further into characters not in OPLA, I began to seek out art on other platforms.

The art I use, I find on: Reddit, Pinterest, or a good ol' fashioned google search. I have asked creators on this platform for permission to use their art in fics, and have respected their wishes whether permission is given or not. So far, I have been told "no" only one time, and have respected that wish.

If you hover over the little "alt" button, that's where I paste my sources to give credit to the artists, and implore you to seek out their work and look at it for yourself. It's the little box on the left-hand side of the image (or the three dots that come up when you hover your mouse over them). I have used text links in the past to send people to their sites, but I thought the alt text box felt better: like a little watermark to send those looking for their work.

I've responded to an ask like this in the past, but I am very much open to continuing this dialogue. I am constantly learning about how to best be respectful and give credit where credit is due. I never claim this art as my own (if you've seen the art I do on here, it's lackluster to say the least), I use it to inspire the words I create.

Thank you again for opening this dialogue, I appreciate your concern and rallying to the defence of artists and creators on here.

Edit

I have been informed that this is not what the alt box is for, and am going through each post I've made with art and added links to where I've found them via collecting them from the alt box and pasting the link for easier access. I honestly thought that was what we were meant to do, and I apologise for my misunderstanding.

Going forward, I will be no longer be using art found on Pinterest or Google because I've been made aware that some of that art is reposts by people who did not get permission from the original artists to reupload and share it. Another misunderstanding from my part.

I am truly sorry for the way this was handled on my part. It didn't sit well with me, and I am trying to do better.

(Visual Reference Guidelines:)

Client must provide at least one clear and concise visual reference; please supplement the visual reference with any important information I may need to know to correctly draw the character.

If you link to a gallery of your character’s artwork, I cannot promise your design will be done with 100% accuracy. Design interpretations may be inconsistent between images and lessen my ability to accurately draw your character. Shading on potential pieces will also play a part in this.

I will not accept a description OC, meaning I will not work with no visual

(PROGRESS)

Completion of most commissions are generally estimated to finish around a few hours to a few days depending on my IRL schedule.

Works in Progress (WIPS): Certain commission types may or may not include a sketch approval stage. I will send any wips to the commissioner via DM or Discord Chat. Progress will be paused until the sketch is confirmed.

Revisions and edits:

If the commission type includes a sketch approval stage, any major changes or revisions must be made at this stage; this includes any significant changes to a character’s pose or body shape, or redrawing parts of the image.

After the sketch has been approved, no major edits or changes will be made. If the commissioner requests additional edits after the approved sketch, a price for the edits may be discussed.

If I, the artist, make any errors in the character design, accessories, or any other visual elements specified in the provided visual references, I will make these edits at no additional cost. (Max of 3 minor edits)

If you do not want me to post your commission online, you must tell me when you order.

If you want constant updates on the piece, please keep in mind that I have ADHD and tend to forget to take WIPs while I'm working.

hey. what's your opinion on people reposting (stealing imo) your art without permission and/or credits?

It doesn't make me happy and I try to report it every time I see it.

Reposting art without the artist's permission and posting it on some platform, especially without the credit - is stealing. You basically take someone's work and try to earn unfairly something from it for yourself (likes, views, shares, money). And all this behind the back of the original author. It's awful. You rob the artists of those benefits, that might be crucial to their careers, especially if they struggle to build their social media that they need to keep creating and have money for food.

The only exception is when the author gives permission to do it. I haven't granted any, except for TikTok, BUT ONLY if credit is given. Unfortunately, ppl still repost without credit, even remove my watermark.

Honestly, how rotten you must be to consciously remove someone's watermark and usurp someone else's intellectual property. And yes, people will pretend to be innocent, hide their ignorance. But it's all bullshit. The moment you download an image and then publish it on the platform, you make a choice. More than one. There are plenty of moments where you can reflect on what you're doing. And also the lack of knowledge of the law does not exempt from responsibility. Today, it literally only takes seconds to find an artist if there is no watermark on the image.

Huge thanks for ppl who send me links when they find some of my work reposted elsewhere. I'm grateful even if sometimes I can't reply due to life, but I'm grateful for each and every one of you.

IMPORTANT: Regarding the use of my Nitro+Chiral/BL/BLVN Scans

I know I do not use Tumblr at all in the past year (but plan to be active on here again soon), but I feel as if I need to put this on here as well, given that what I want to say has to do with scans I have uploaded and provided onto here in the past.

If you’re going to reupload any scans of mine I did in the past (and future), I ask for a link back to my postings.

(cont. below)

Reason why I am saying this is that I recently came aware of a Twitter user reuploading some of my old scans without linking back or credit. This user, whom I will not name for privacy for now, has been doing this not only with my works, but my other friends/mutuals within the Nitro+Chiral fandom. It's severely saddening and disappointing, and I'm speaking up not only for myself, but my friends/mutuals as well.

I do not have an issue with sharing my scans; I share them and for the reasons of wanting others to see content that may be hard to get a hold of. What I DO have an issue with is the lack of credit/linking credit. I know what my scans look like; I do them a particular way.

I understand how hard it is for many fans especially (in the N+C fandom outside of Japan) to get hands on items, and I don’t mind the sharing of my scans I created for people to have access, but all I ask at the very LEAST is a link back to my original upload. Just a link. That's all I ask for.

I want to provide content for people who cannot afford/be able to get their hands on it due to items being so old they are out of production. Not crediting me is a major disrespect as I have put a lot of money, time and effort too, into providing scans of content. A lot of my items I have purchased have come from Japan itself, it's an expensive and long time going out in effort to search for a lot of the stuff I have gotten. I've even pulled all-nighters translating content (in the past).

Because of this, I have decided from here on out, when I do upload a scan it will be watermarked in some form. Scans will have watermarks on every single page possibly in multiple areas (mostly hidden), and translations from here on out will have hidden watermarks if they are done solely by me. My translations already come with a credit page, but that doesn't seem to be enough anymore unfortunately.

I was planning on returning part-time to translating and providing scans of content in the next coming months due to time in my personal life finally letting up. What I was not expecting, however, was an individual pretty much reposting my old scans without credit. I hate to do this, but all they had to do was literally just post a link back to my scans.

So the good news, expect this account to become more active in the coming months (hopefully) with new scans and translations and such. Unfortunately though, what will be provided will be watermarked from here on out.

If the individual whom I am referring to happens to see this, since they seem to be pulling content from Tumblr mostly (which is why I am popping on here to say something); please just credit where credit is due. Not just with my stuff, but other's as well. Saying "idk who OP is" is not the right thing to do when you know you are posting content you haven't scanned or taken pictures of yourself. Reverse image search to find the sources.

I hope you understand, and I appreciate you all that have stuck around and continue to. Hope to be active on here again soon to provide content for you all.

Much appreciated, Mellow (Meru)

Reminder that I am far more active on my Twitter.

Sigh. In response to the potential midjourney tumblr scrape...

Well, if rumors are true about this, I am either going to mass delete most, if not all, of my posts here, the ones left behind, I revert to thumbnails, adding a link to another place you can see the image. I currently have an image scraper pulling all my images.

This tumblr is an insane backup of my art from 2012; I don't have anything nearly as constant or goes nearly as far back. My current plan is to download the whole archive, then maybe make mini-collections of my fanart and a 'digital zine' of my years worth of commissions. It'll be slow to make sure everyone is given due credit. These will go on either ko-fi or itch.io, if not both. My OC art will be nuked entirely and not reshared except what's up on pepperly.art and my archives on toyhou.se. If I upload something interesting, I'll at least give a notice.

For the future? I'm going to post previews of new art and not the full things; it'll be ugly but at least it'll be safe from in-house scraping. Things I've read here and there about glaze and nightshade don't seem good enough. They can run simple filters over an image if the watermarking is faint enough and it can't stop them. Anything that would stop it absolutely ruins the quality for humans.

So for now, I think I'm going to work on preparations for the Big Event. Please follow me on any of my accounts listed on my pinned; if you know RSS I have one for my website, you can subscribe to.

Additional Information

Important:

Masterlist of djs on this page

“Archive” page of all my posts

⚠️⚠️ MOST IMPORTANT: BE VERY CAREFUL WITH ANY LINKS. ⚠️⚠️  On almost all posts, you’ll find a “source”, “back-up”, or other language versions linked. I use an ad blocker so I don’t know what these pages are like without it. They don’t seem to have given me any trouble but I can’t guarantee their safety, please be aware of that and be cautious esp if they look shady.

Sfw: Sometimes tumblr marks my content as “mature” but all my posts are sfw. Please read my discs and cws to find out if there are any “mature” elements such as implied actions or making out. I do not post 🌽.

Censorship:  To avoid having these posts taken down too, and also make them more accessible to minors, like Defeat of Man which is a 10/10 but has r18 scenes, I’ve also started making censored versions through IbisPaint. You’ll see discs and watermarks on them so you know it’s not the original.

Tags explained: The “aph” tags include side characters, the “hetalia” tags are more focused, and the human name tags are typically even more so. But I don’t really have a concrete system for it. On this post are tags for different language versions I’ve found of some djs for the convenience of anyone looking for djs in that language. Hwv the links for most of them are quite shady. I also tag some tlers like animoobs if they’re known for a lot of djs but their whole page is down.

Source & back up links: Some old djs can be found reblogged on other accounts, but when you click “Read More”, tumblr tells you that the posts been deleted or the account is down. In case that happens with my posts in the future, these back up links will hopefully still work. Again, be careful w these links. If no source is linked, I was probably only able to find it on a 🌽 site like mrm.

About me: I had a collection of 300 dj links and was sad to find out that many of them have gone missing due to tumblr removing nsfw posts and accounts, and old accounts deleting their pages. You can still find many in places like facebook, amino, private blogs, manga sites, and mostly h sites tbh, but since most fans are minors and nobody likes nsfw ads all over our screen, I’m taking the liberty of tracking down the sfw “missing” djs to make it easier for all of us to read here on tumblr. I try to credit the og tls/pages when I can.

Hello!

I am in a relatively unfortunate situation financially.

My external hard drive with all my art (including 3 of the sample pieces shown), personal photos and important files since childhood were stored on it. (Ironically it failed just as I was about to back everything up)

I am pursuing Data Recovery, however the process is much more expensive than I thought , as it requires a platter reconstruction. The minimum is $2640 USD.

These files are INCREBILY important to me, but it is just money I don't have. These commissions can really help, and I also just opened a Ko-Fi (ko-fi. com/candyarmy) if you are able to donate.

I understand that right now is a hard time for a lot of us, especially financially, so even just liking and reblogging can really help.

Feel free to DM me or email me at candyarmyartist@gmail.com

[animalcrossing-blogg]

are any of these your original posts? if not, please stop uploading other people's content.

Well... yeah. I can't lie... a chunk of the photos I've posted are mine or my friends. While I'd rather not have to prove myself to the anon ask, I can point out each individual screenshot from me or someone I know if I needed to.

When they're not mine I never take credit and it says very clearly on my account that I will remove or add credit to photos on request if the owner is unhappy.

If I really wanted to get into the technicality of it (this is where law class finally helps me) all photos I use, excluding art, could be used without any 'credit' due to the content being a screenshot of Nintendo brand products that's free to use (mostly) for us lot. So I don't even owe the courtesy of offering removal... of course, I would never not do that - that would just be ridiculously rude. I will always provide the option of removal, no matter the reason. What Im saying is there's, by technicality, no obligation if you want to be literal about it.

All the photos that I dont take myself are pulled from my Pinterest. My special interest is Animal Crossing and I have (as of rn) 5,924 Animal Crossing pins and by no means the time to hunt down each individual owner. And for many of the photos I use, especially the ones from old games, there is the issue of being unable to track down the original poster.... it's not even like Im bad at this... I edit the Animal Crossing Wiki, so you know I can produce sources. Its just that sometimes that source is beyond your reach. That doesn't mean Im not going to post the pretty Animal Crossing photo from 2015 or the meme that got a chuckle out of me. If I see a meme on Pinterest that originated from Tumblr then I don't save it or use it, Ill just find the original.

Finally, art is something that I respect a lot as an artist, so I hesitate to post any art if I don't have the source available to me. You might notice a distinct lack of art on this blog at a baseline and that's because of this concern.

I gotta be honest here man, unless you're the owner of every post Ive ever made then Im not just gonna stop posting. Im at no point claiming to own all these photos, but a good chunk of them are screenshots from old games, with owners who don't even exist in the ac world anymore. Many new screenshots include a handy-dandy watermark which I never remove and in the worst-case scenario most posts can be, at the least, traced back to my Pinterest.

Im not going to stop posting memes, screenshots and the occasional irl AC craft because Anonymous said it was bad. If you have a personal issue because I used something of yours I encourage you to just contact me directly and I can remove it, but until that point please have a nice day.

TL:DR - No. I dont own everything I post and I don't even claim to own everything but yeah a chunk ARE mine or my friends. I dont post art, memes never come from a direct source please be serious, sometimes posts are so old there is no credit and if nobody ever reshared the photos from 2020 and before I think we would be living in a dark and sad timeline. I want to live in Animal Crossing every day, I have given 15 years of my life to this game and you can either join me in loving the vast recorded history of the game or go about your day enjoying your life in your own way, away from me.

If it really is truly a bother, Im happy to place a link to my Pinterest somewhere obvious on my blog so people can see for themselves where I get all this from, if not my own town.

Terms Of Service

!! Thanks for taking interest in commissioning me. Anyway, ToS time, read it or perish <3 !!

Commissions are first come, first serve. I prefer to work one by one as opposed to all at once simply because doing like that makes me lose interest really fast. I consider myself a pretty fast artist, however I don’t want to burn myself out so even if I finish one commissioned piece in three hours, I’m not gonna immediately start on the next. So please bear with me. If you want your commission to be done by a certain date then please give me the deadline.

I, as the artist-Retain full and exclusive rights to the artwork. Clients may not claim the commission work as their own. Clients can only use the commission work for personal use, NOT commercial use. HOWEVER THIS IS NEGOTIABLE!! More on this.-Have the right to decline a commission if I am uncomfortable with it.-Will not remove my watermark-Allow the client to repost the commissioned artwork to wherever they like and/or be used as a profile picture, as long as proper credit is given via a link to my Instagram and/or Tumblr account.-Do not allow my artwork to be used for hate speech and all that other bad stuff. If I find out or have been informed you have been using my artwork for anything harmful, you will be blacklisted and reported.-Do not allow any form of alterations to the completed artwork. -Do not do NFTs. Fuck offAs said before, my commissioned artwork is not for commercial use Redistribution of my artwork for use in printed merchandise or as promotion of goods, service or social media pages is prohibited.This is negotiable however. If you DO want your finished commission to be used for any commercial purposes then I highly advice you say that first when ordering from me. Negations can start from there, if I say no then I say no.

Payment

Payments are in USD. I accept Paypal.

PAYMENT UPFRONT OR 50% BEFORE STARTING THE PROJECT THEN THE OTHER 50% AFTER THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED

DEEMO -prelude- Chapter 3 English Translation

started cleaning this two days after i got my 2nd covid vaccine (which in hindsight wasn’t really a good idea)... though I suppose that now that ive translated the 3rd chapter of the manga, i’m more or less committed to translating this unless someone else wants to pick up the series... though i can’t guarantee that i’ll be able to update this every month given my other commitments.

anyway, Gino is awesome. that’s all im going to say bout him.

some notes:

as always, I translated this from Chinese so my tl not be 100% accurate if compared to the JP raws

please don’t reupload elsewhere (especially to social media), and don’t remove my credits page. additionally, this is not to be profited off of in any way and is intended to for one’s private enjoyment only.

i still hate photoshop. and cleaning... and I will always complain about this specific hatred of mine. seriously. ALSO I WAS SO FREAKING TEMPTED TO GIVE UP ON CLEANING/REDRAWING BOTH PIANOS THAT HANS AND ALICE PLAY. SERIOUSLY. I SPENT AT LEAST 2 HOURS ON CLEANING/REDRAWING FOR THIS CHAPTER AND I REALLY DID WANT TO THROW A PIANO AT SOMETHING BECAUSE OF THIS.

Changed the text where it was supposed to be translated to ‘world-famous’ to ‘professional’ due to the latter making more sense given the context (more on this in the chapter end notes)

i actually couldn’t find clean raws for this.. so i edited out the watermarks using 3 different versions of the chapter... so if something looks weird because of that, kindly maintain your silence. or i’ll  throw a book at someone. or something. :D  

below is not a link. ‘tis a bunch of chars that need to be decoded via base64decode to reveal the link

update: fixed the last text box

------

aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWdhLm56L2ZvbGRlci9uam9FRll5USNGWnJzb3NpTE9mWFdiU3VRVFh4SUJB

well, i’ve now read chapter 4... and i think i’d smack hans if i were in one of his friend’s positions. 

------

misc updates:

uploaded my previous chapters to mangadex since the site’s back up... though i left an error in the version of chp 2 that i uploaded. too lazy to care about it right now though. maybe i’ll go do something about it in like half a year or something. 

also, i went back to my ch 1 and 2 files and fixed some spelling errors and typos that i left (including the one that made it to mangadex)... and changed the text so instead of how it said “there’s no money,” it now says “there’s not enough money,” as that made more sense...

If you link to a gallery of your character’s artwork, I cannot promise your design will be done with 100% accuracy. Design interpretations may be inconsistent between images and lessen my ability to accurately draw your character. Shading on potential pieces will also play a part in this.

I will not accept a description OC, meaning I will not work with no visual

(WILL/WON'T DRAW)

Please keep my art style in mind when ordering; I specialize in humans and chibi. Things outside my comfort zone might not be as high of quality as something I am used to doing (i.e. furries, animals, centaurs, backgrounds)

Will Do:

- Humans

- Furries

- MLP

- Chibi

- Couples

- Slight Gore

- Most NSFW

Won't Do:

- Mecha

- Full suits of Armor

- Religious Pieces

- Any sort of hateful content, such as racism, transphobia, homophobia, and characters with Nazi/Soviet/etc. imagery or paraphernalia.

(PROGRESS)

Completion of most commissions are generally estimated to finish around a few hours to a few days depending on my IRL schedule.

Works in Progress (WIPS): Certain commission types may or may not include a sketch approval stage. I will send any wips to the commissioner via DM or Discord Chat. Progress will be paused until the sketch is confirmed.

Revisions and edits:

If the commission type includes a sketch approval stage, any major changes or revisions must be made at this stage; this includes any significant changes to a character’s pose or body shape, or redrawing parts of the image.

After the sketch has been approved, no major edits or changes will be made. If the commissioner requests additional edits after the approved sketch, a price for the edits may be discussed.

If I, the artist, make any errors in the character design, accessories, or any other visual elements specified in the provided visual references, I will make these edits at no additional cost. (Max of 3 minor edits)

If you do not want me to post your commission online, you must tell me when you order.

If you want constant updates on the piece, please keep in mind that I have ADHD and tend to forget to take WIPs while I'm working.

ArtzzofKae says…

⚜ When you share my art, I prefer you use my pen name - Kae. It’s not my real name, but it is my real life nickname. In some way it feels even more personal, but in a different way, it gives me a privacy that cannot always be given by social media. ❤ ⚜ And please give full credit by tagging me, don’t crop the watermark included in the image and please leave the link leading to the original post even if it is not clickable.

⚜Please do *NOT* share my art if you are unable to tag me.

⚜ What is your preferred medium & how long have you been working with it? My preferred medium at the moment is digital art - I mostly work with my iPad, using Procreate.

⚜ Do you create art in other mediums? I haven’t touched traditional art in ages, but when I do, I like working with acrylics, or simply markers and pencil.

⚜ How long have you been creating Zutara art? I have only created one Zutara artwork ever, because when the show doesn’t make something you want canon, the best you can do is make it canon yourself. 😏 🔥 The Zutara ship was my favorite thing about ATLA. I even named my bunny Zuko, that’s how much I am invested in those characters, hahaha.

Meet My OCs: Willow (Part 1 - Background)

Sorry this post was delayed a week. Sorry again that it’s 11pm on Sunday, so I almost missed my publication deadline AGAIN! 

I really did aim to get this up for my weekly Sunday updates of this series. However, Willow proved to be a bit more detailed than I gave her credit, resulting in her introductory post taking the better part of a week to write up and edit.

Before I get further into this post, however, have you had a chance to read my intro posts? They're not needed, but they do provide added context.

Part 1: What is this “Meet My OCs” series, and what was my inspiration when creating the worlds these characters live in?

Part 2: What IRL inspiration helped me create my four main OCs for my Gyateara stories?

Part 3a: What is the X-Future play-by-post game, and what inspired the creation of the main characters for Glitches?

Part 3b: What X-Men canonical characters needed to be reworked for Glitches, and how have they changed to become more original creations?

Feel free to check those out, and then come back. Otherwise, links will also be at the end of this post for your convenience.

Now then, let's get into the true meat and potatoes of this series, starting with the character I tend to unintentionally favor. The one who has the most visual presence. The one whose introduction was so massive (over 30pgs long in a Word document) that I had to split it into 6 parts to avoid overwhelming people (this may still overwhelm, though; sorry). These Meet My OCs posts are getting beefy.... I think I’ll have to switch to every OTHER Sunday for the updates.... Anyway, be prepared for a nice 6-post dump onto your dash!

------------------------------

Willow “Wisp” Driver

I was the one who watermarked that pic, BTW, to make sure Willow can't be swiped by anyone...

And, can we also give another quick shout out to @edendaphne​ for the beautiful commission work on my baby girl?

Anyway, Willow was my second X-Future character, and quickly climbed the ranks to one of my most prominent and vocal characters of all time. Check below for Part 1 of Willow's intro, which includes a broad overview of who Willow is, and some backstory for her. In a few minutes, I'll also have up Part 2, which talks more about Willow's main relationships: her family, her friends, and her romances. Later, I'll post Part 3, which talks about her basic storyline within X-Future, and how it relates to my intended starter arc for her in Glitches. In Part 4, I showcase some more artwork of Willow, followed by some narrative scene examples in Part 5. Finally, I’ll conclude with Part 6: wrestler entrances for Hubby’s WWE13 game.

Overview: 

Willow was 15 when she was first created back in 2012. She is currently 18 in our game. She's about average height at 5'4” (162.56cm), and has a fairly lean body. She's not overtly muscular, but she is sculpted due to her favorite form of exercise: parkour/free-running, an activity she started after school when she was 10 in order to help burn off extra energy. She's playful, flirty, a mischievous prankster, bubbly, and has a bit of a snarky/sarcastic attitude. She's also cunning, a bit manipulative, incredibly passionate, and surprisingly cautious and suspicious. She tends to surprise people by having a different view of life than most expect, making her playful when most might be somber, making her angered when most would be relieved, or making her harsh when most would be sympathetic. (examples of these outlooks will be in Part 5)

Further Physical Description:

Her hair is naturally a silvery-white, but that's too “grandma” and “bland” looking for her, especially with such pale Irish-American skin. So, to accent her aquamarine eye color, she routinely streaks the silver with blue. The shade of blue varies from dye to dye.

Family:

Willow's mother Meryl is a “normal” human. However, Willow's father Jacob Driver is a mutant (glitch). He has the power to “manipulate” any object so it looks like whatever he wants, as long as it's roughly the same shape, size, and weight. For instance, a chunk of cement could appear to be a large, raw ruby. A stack of blank paper can look like a first draft manuscript of a famous novel. A flashlight can look like a stick of dynamite, and children's play money can look like $100 bills. (Yes, Jacob was inspired by Hook Waters and the Shifting ability from the 2009 movie “Push,” and the categories for The GRID are also inspired by “Push”). Now, the objects aren't physically changed in any form. Instead, Jacob drapes the items within the illusionary forms he desires. His targets will 100% believe the objects are what Jacob claims, as long as they are indeed the correct size, shape, and weight; giving the items the tactile features the illusions suggest. Non-targets of Jacob's powers, however, will see the object for what it truly is. So, if someone accepts the “raw ruby” from Jacob, and takes it to a jeweler, said jeweler will simply see the original chunk of cement.

In his youth, Jacob had used his ability to manipulate items in order to swindle his way through life: making his homework appear done, his dissertation seem ingenious, his wallet always look filled with large bills, etc. He was eventually caught, and served some jail time. He was released early on good behavior, and ended up meeting Meryl, who turned him from a life of crime and swindling. (In the Glitches version, Jacob even had a bit of a playful con-artist rivalry with Ryder, and both men went legit after meeting their wives).

Now trying to stay off the radar as much as possible, Jacob resisted using his powers. He also avoided the public visibility of protesting at mutant/glitch rallies, deciding instead to silently protest mutant/glitches injustice from his home via online boards and petitions. Jacob also made a point of following the latest mutant/glitches news reports, even with his children Shawn and Willow within earshot, much to Meryl's disapproval due to the violence usually talked about in the reports. The news affected Shawn and Willow differently than Meryl originally expected, and the two would pretend to have battles using the various superpowers they heard about via the news.

Powers: 

Willow has the power of illusion. To be more technical, she has the telepathic ability to make her target's brain believe an illusion so faithfully that it becomes a seemingly physical manifestation. They actually hear what Willow wants them to hear, see what she wants them to see, taste the flavors she mentally puts into their mouths, and smell the scents she coats her illusions with. Most importantly, through a secondary use of her telekinetic powers, she can have her illusions have a “physical” form to those targeted to experience them. She can lift someone off the ground to make them feel like they're flying, falling, or climbing. She can mentally push down on someone to create the feeling of weight. She can also manipulate parts of the brain so the illusions have texture. The target can feel the cool lick of water splashing against their legs, the sharpness of a needle pricking their skin, the softness of satin, the frigid cold of a snow storm, the rough texture of sandpaper, etc. For all intents and purposes, for Willow's target, the illusions are physical manifestations.

When Willow first started using her powers, she could only concentrate on the two main senses of sight and sound. If she wanted to target more than one person, or if she wanted her illusions to affect more senses, she had to shift to the psychic world of the Astral Plane, causing her to fall unconscious as her consciousness transitioned onto the other level of existence. While on the Astral Plane, she could also use her telepathy to read minds and communicate telepathically. After some practice, she was able to learn to condense the psychic energy of the Astral Plane into a weapon (psy-weapon) she could use while on that plane.

Now that Willow is 18, she has much better control of her powers. She can create fully immersive illusions targeting up to 20 people within a quarter-mile radius (402m). She can use her telepathy for communication and reconnaissance for up to 5 people within the same quarter-mile radius. She can also use telekinesis to lift a collective weight of up to 600lbs (~272kg) within a 30ft (9.14m) radius. All of this without having to shift to the Astral Plane. When she does move to the other plane of existence, her powers increase 10-fold.

One of her favorite illusions, which also truly showcases her base personally, is turning herself into her version of the Cheshire Cat. One can usually tell that Willow has a prank or other mischievous plan in mind when she manifests cat ears, a tail, and a cat-like grin.

Power Manifestation: 

As mentioned above, when they were kids, Shawn and Willow would run around their backyard in San Diego, California, and pretend to use superpowers to battle either each other or an imaginary foe. They would pretend they had telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, wings, pyrokinesis, electrokinesis, accelerated healing, energy blasts, etc. One day, when Willow was 11, she became upset that her nearly 13-year-old brother was refusing to play pretend anymore. While nagging him to play with her, she imagined herself throwing fireballs at Shawn. He then actually saw the fireballs aimed at him, as well as the fire damage the dodged balls created. Understandably, he ran, terrified, and screaming for their parents.

Jacob, still trying to stay as far off-radar as possible, avoided sending Willow to a “Mutant Only” school, and instead tried to train her to control herself and her powers. It was tricky, though, since she showcased different powers on any given day, making it hard to know what her abilities actually were. Her imagination also expanded with her powers, and she soon reveled in the thrill of pulling pranks with her ability, usually resulting in terrorizing Shawn. After two years of Willow “playfully” tormenting her brother – as well as some classmates – Jacob finally caved, and sent Willow to the Colossus Academy; a sister location to the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. 

It was at the Academy that a telepath was able to finally figure out Willow's power of illusion and manipulation, and helped start Willow's training. While Willow continued to pull pranks, they weren't nearly as mean spirited as they were towards her brother.

In the Glitches rework, Emily’s school on the east coast is the only place Willow is sent. I’m still reworking the timeframe of everything now that I don’t have those 2 extra years between Willow discovering her powers and going to the school. I do know that Willow is sent to Emily’s school because of Jacob’s connection with her husband Ryder.

Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters:

In X-Future, Willow originally went to the west coast branch of the Xavier Institute: Colossus Academy, appropriately run by Piotr “Colossus” Rasputin. Willow stayed at the Academy from age 13 through 15; grades 8 and 9. While at the Academy, she became best friends with her roommate Noelle “Penumbra” Firada. She also became close with Marjory “Lookout” Allodis, the girl tasked to keep her safe whenever Willow went into the Astral Plane, leaving her lifeless body defenseless. A young boy named Winston “Hedge” Michaels became a bit of an unwanted tag-along. He was only two years younger than Willow, but the introverted and awkward boy with virtually no social skills latched onto her as an unwanted and bothersome younger brother figure.

When Willow was 15 and nearing the conclusion of her second year at the Academy, Colossus and his wife Jubilee were needed for a crucial X-Men-related mission. Neither of them returned home. Delegates from the Xavier Institute were sent to the Colossus Academy so the students could finish their school year, as well as figure out where to go next. Then, once summer hit, the Academy was shut down. A lot of the students were sent to the east coast and the Institute. Once there, Willow originally stuck with her core group of Noelle (Penny), Marjory (Marge), and Winston. Willow's a friendly enough person, outgoing and inviting, so it didn't take long for her to make friends with Devon, Chayse, and Lia, as well as create a playful rivalry with a classmate named William.

For more about these relationships, check out Part 2 of Meet Willow.

Willow's Style: 

Her base style started off a bit punk/rocker/scene, similar to the early 2000's fashion Rogue and Boom-Boom wore in X-Men: Evolution. Over the past 7yrs since I created Willow, her style toned down a little bit. She still wears fairly form-fitting outfits and short skirts, though. Her main color scheme trends towards blue and white, to match her hair.

Willow's a borderline exhibitionist, always teetering on that line between showing off enough to excite onlookers, and leaving JUUUUUST enough to the imagination. She has budding curves, and she's perfectly fine showing them off to everyone. In fact, much like Trish, Willow has an unofficial theme song herself: “I Get Off” by Halestorm

Willow doesn’t really care who you are when she flirts and teases. All she cares about is if she's getting your blood pumping, if you end up desiring her, and if she's riling you up somehow. She's just turned on by someone else getting turned on by her. She's much more modest than she lets on, though, and rarely follows through with any sexual acts. Instead, she uses her powers of illusion to create a copy of herself, and lets the copy continue along with the act, should the other person wish to go along still. She's so used to deceit and manipulation, thanks to her powers and how she uses them, that it's actually hard for her to find full trust in others. As much as she teases that sex is all well-and-good fun, deep down she knows she, personally, would regret participating with her own body unless she fully trusted her partner.

Her desire to get others riled up and turned on even extends to using her illusions to try to draw other couples together. Especially with a bunch of “Will they; won't they”, she has fun having an illusion of one trying to seduce the other, just to see where the snag in their “will they” might be. Plus, she loves watching her classmates blush.

------------------------------

Welp, there’s your broad introduction to Willow. Now to move on to Part 2, where I’ll talk a bit more about her main relationships.

------------------------------

While waiting for Part 2, you can also check out my introductory posts for this over-all Meet My OCs series.

Quick recap this series thus far, in Part 1 I talked about why I wanted to do this series in a bit more depth than I did above, and I talk about the real world inspiration for creating my two main worlds:

Gyateara – a high fantasy world that will, presumably, house many self-contained series that may or may not interconnect beyond all taking place on the same planet

Glitches – a pseudo-cyberpunk future AU of Earth where mutated humans – known as Glitches – must fight for equality, and even survival, while also dealing with the normal dramas of puberty.

In Part 2 of my series, I explained the real-world inspiration for my four main Gyateara OCs:

Amara Yori

Jolene Crisslebalm

Natalie

Connor

Part 3 of this series went a bit long, so it was broken down into its own two-parter. In Part 3a, I talked about the creation of the four main characters of Glitches:

Chayse

Lia

Willow

Trish

For Part 3b of this series, I explained the canonical character origins of my adult Glitches, and how they've been reworked to create my still-evolving adult support characters for Glitches:

Matteo

Emily

Ryder

Keahi

Cody

Iggy

Alright, this long post is becoming more epic, so I'll catch you guys in Meet Willow Part 2 in a few minutes!
