Funny how I've been in so many friends groups where its all abt love and acceptance and inclucivity, but they shit on you and dump you to the side of the road the moment you show any negative/weird symptoms of mental illnesses
But it's the most racist/homophobic sounding MFers that are the ones who actually stick by you
Note: key word: Sounding. They're all PoC (I'm literally the only white person), varying degrees of mentally ill, autistic/adhd, and LGBT+ but they call each other all fucking slurs under the sun and tell each other to off themselves
But they're the most tight knit group of ppl I've seen.
#yes i know no one is responsible for your feelings#yes i know no one is obligated to stick around when you exhibit negative symptoms#but idk the feeling of being abandoned and left to the side bc you wanted reassurance or you were just being dragged down#by the ppl who PREACHED abt how they were a safe space and how they accept all is...mm.#not to mention those ppl never wanted to do anything with me...ever#the friend who tells me to die every 5 minutes bc i went 'uwu' to piss him off? he listens to me#he listens to me talk abt my silly little ocs#i give him a character i made 5 minutes ago and he goes 'she should be friends with mine and they hate each other but also dont'#he brought me into his group of friends who...honestly essentially adopted me...and ive felt nothing but love from these people#these people that throw slurs at each other all day#they respect my boundaries- they apologize if they upset me or the other person in a genuine way#my past friends didnt- theyd get annoyed and tell me its just s joke if i asked them not to use the joke that makes fun of me or my exps#im sleep deprived and exhausted but yeah#shut up bones

how much money do i have to bribe u with to hear abt your ocs. im willing to pay the fine please whatever it is
brother i will pay YOU to listen to me talk about my ocs. allow me to provide you with a sample of my wares aka some of my favorite children (opens one side of my jacket with several dolls strapped inside)
natalie macalistair - an angsty teenage ghost “””girl””” who is desperately running from their past and themself no matter the cost or who it hurts
aziel lockstone/“poet” - a traveling writer who settles down in the lepid grove on the coopSMP (collaborative story with friends we have videos and everything) after being chased out of town after town. eventually the horrors ensue as his family is torn apart. how far is he willing to go to find something (or someone) that will last?
avery laurier, the ace of hearts - an oc i stole my name from when i transitioned LAWL. the owner of serpent’s eye casino and the god of luck, who takes punishing the unfortunate malefactors who wander into their domain into their own hands when the other gods fail to do so.
oberon - a fallen god stripped of his power and his memory. he conceals his face from the world and himself with a bird mask and wanders through dimensions without a care in the world. at least, he doesn’t have any that he remembers long enough to worry about
axel finch - my mandela catalogue oc if you know what that is :-) axel is a shut-in who refuses to leave his room for weeks at a time because he’s convinced his sister was replaced by a demonic eldritch creature taking her appearance and identity in her absence. his parents don’t believe him and neither do his friends, but he doesn’t need anyone else to believe him when he’s sure he’ll eventually prove them all wrong with enough research and dedication
let me know if ur interested in any of these silly guys in particular i will explode about them in detail if u want
also thabj u for being interested even a little i might cry /gen

HI JUNE WE HAD TALKED ABT A POSSIBLE SAI / AEGAEON FRIENDSHIP BEFORE WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT
(I think it would be fun if they were like sometimes sitting under a tree w/o talking. Yk that kinda quiet that comforts you)
YEA ALSO IF YOU WANNA DUMP FUN FACTS I CAN LISTEN(give me oc crumbs and my life is yours)
HIHI. Hi. HI HI
putting this in bullet points so it can look cleaner
sitting under trees saying nothing is so. yes. them.
maybe they talk about what they did and how they felt…
maybe they eat together when nobody would eat with them
sai teaching aegaeon how to make paper cranes… 😣
they have the friendship where it’s like they can have conversations without saying any words
theu’re so normal. so very normal. very.
and for fun facts! including 3 for all my ocs for you!
khoi is really good at sneaking around and avoiding being seen by cameras
khoi actually doesn’t have good eyesight! it’s not that bad, but he usually wears contacts. he’s rarely seen with glasses on. he also got his eyes surgically fixed before alnst started
he is also a sight reading GOD like if you give him any sheet music ever written he could play it to you with pinpoint accuracy
sai is very flexible! he’s also double jointed.
sai is super photogenic. take a random picture of him and he’d still look ethereal no matter what time it is
sleeps like a vampire. arms crossed over chest and everything
vera is really good at styling hair, if she asks to do your hair accept it because she’ll do you right
she’d be a theater kid in modern au… she gives off theater mom vibes
she is so good at deflecting questions/lying in interviews it’s a little scary
ellie hates when her hair has to be slicked back or something similar. the feeling of hair gel is icky
the fastest learner of choreography on the planet.
cries to like every sad movie ever (even if its barely sad)
nene is really good at voice imitations! kinda like. too good. it’s concerning
shes the type of person who says they’re gonna fail a test and then get an A+
when she ripped ambys’s heart out, she licked it. out of spite.
xael can actually make cute silly fun games made to be easy for children! but all of those have an alternate secret route that leads to a bad ending. kind of like the lacey games in a way
unironically extremely good at mental math and can solve complex equations with ease
when he’s in confinement, he claws at the walls of the room begging to get out, or at least to get some food.
numa can actually only taste human meat/blood/etc. he doesn’t know this, but that’s because of his guardian messing with his tastebuds as a child.
the amount of sports he plays are insane and he sometimes skips classes to practice (with permission) (most of the time)
plays saxophone. please don’t ask me why i don’t know why
#alien stage oc#alnst oc#alien stage ocs#alnst ocs#alnst oc: khoi#alnst oc: sai#alnst oc: vera#alnst oc: ellie#alnst oc: nene#alnst oc: xael#alnst oc: numa#alnst oc: aegaeon#asks#thank you for the ask!

girl i am just SO curious since we have the same type and all abt your thoughts on Cagney Carnation from Cuphead 👀
oh hell yes!!! thank you for giving me an excuse to talk about the deranged flower again 😳💖💖💖 i adore Cagney Carnation. who doesn't?? such a captivating design - one part mob boss, one part flower, one part monstrous abomination with some very sexy teeth 🙈🙈 Cuphead is one of those franchises i have a tonne of f/os from: Cagney Carnation, Chef Saltbaker, Werner Werman, King Dice, Baroness Von Bon Bon...and doubtless the next time i revisit the fandom someone else's wonderful fanart will tip me into fixation for another character 😂 but Cagney is special...i totally get why we all went feral for him 😂💖 he's yet another instalment in the 'characters with long supernumerary appendages who could easily rip us apart' roster...the incredible strength, his silly little dance, and how absolutely badass his final form is, it's no wonder he's so beloved!! easily one of the best and most iconic fights in the whole game with a banging song, and so many fun details. i went back and S-ranked him recently and felt on top of the world 🙈
listen, i am down so bad it's not funny 😂 Cuphead really does lend itself to so much creativity and fandom fun...feels very much like Don't Hug Me I'm Scared in that way. whether folks are drawing him as a grumpy lil flower, an Eldritch abomination or a handsome gijinka, there's no version of him i don't like;;; OH!!! have you heard Man on the Internet's lyric cover of Floral Fury? he'll forever be my headcanon voice for Cagney (until we get an official one, of course 😉). for now, all we have to go off of is his laugh, which is...um...🥴 i even made a little Cuphead OC to ship with him!! their name's Aster, and they're a star from Hilda Berg's moon phase 🥰 it's been a while since i made them, and i'd love to revisit the universe and make more OCs...i think everyone should try their hand at making one for Cuphead selfship purposes, it's great 🙈 i am still devastated that we didn't get him in the previous 'season' of The Cuphead Show. Netflix fuckery continues to blight us, but i'm still holding out hope!! did you know that storyboard artist Karl Hadrika shared a still from a current 'lost episode' of the show, showing Cagney with his tommy gun? 👀 i'm still very hopeful that bc The Cuphead Show is so staggeringly popular that we will get another season...but until then, we gotta sit tight and gush about Cagney amongst ourselves 🥺💖
#going to cuddle my Cagney plush tonight thank you 🙈💖#cagney carnation#cagney#cuphead#the cuphead show#starleskasks#f/o suggestions#long post

@disneyanddisneyships how it would be like dating my ocs (hehe)
Only like.. the story im writing and everything
Marianne
She'd be like the best gf ever.
Elizabeth tells u Marianne's deepest darkest secrets
Slight nsfw but if u kiss her bare back u go straight under the sheets idc idc
WOULD listen to you rant about literally anything. Rant about frogs and shit and it's better than anything she's ever heard her entire life.
She's a workaholic bc she's the heiress, so when she knows she can't spend time with you she writes you a handwritten letter instead.
Lets you proofread what she writes
I feel like she's both a morning bird and a night owl, so like when you wake up she'll be right there excited to hold you and at night, if you beg her to read one of her works, like-- pleaaaseee with a cherry on top, she does it until u fall asleep.
She likes to tease u. It's her way of showing u how comfortable she is.
She spoils you to death. If you asked her for McDonald's she'd buy the company.
Sometimes she judges herself too much, or think what she writes ain't good enough, so you hype her up.
Has the BIGGEST smile when you're around like are you kidding me? You make her the happiest girl in the world.
Lots of aftercare with this woman.
She would write you a poem, a letter, a whole book on why she loves you. Literally.
She's stubborn. When you fight abt something she somehow gets the upper hand most of the time.
She bites when doing the yk what
Secretly very thirsty and vocal (hehe)
She's a sucky cook so if she cooks for you pretend u like it
Elizabeth would yell "OH FOR FUCKS SAKE JUST KISS"
--squeals when you DO kiss.
She's such a boomer. Bear with her if she doesn't even know what "asdfghjkl" means.
In the modern world it's canon she plays candy crush, so it would take up a lot of her time
Gives u back massage
Her love language is words of affirmation.
Hope to god her mom ages out. Pls.
Damian
Has a lot of hyperfixations so if u listen to him rant about them he's a goner
Draws you little butterflies. He can't draw but he can try because he loves u
He would talk to u abt his mom a lot
Scenario: he would be sparring with Jake and as soon as he sees you?? Motivation = 📈📈📈📈
Speaking of Jake he's wondering "HOW THE FUCK DID HE PULL"
Don't be surprised if one day by some miracle he brings home a ferret. He loves ferrets.
You're a writer??? HE WILL analyze your book, or anything you write. He WILL proofread anything you write. He WILL give out honest opinion
The thing is he would lie sometimes. But like, only lie about if he fought a raccoon or something. Like he would lie to u about the secret stash of sweets, or if he threw heart shaped confetti in your room. But get this, he's a bad liar.
If your favorite color is green you have no right to break up with him. He has green eyes.
His love language is gift giving and quality time
A cuddly man. He wants to feel u physically every second of the day
"Hey can u write me something"
Plant nerd. Instant info-dump
Loves people of all body types. Thin? Smash. Plus sized? Smash. Chubby? Smash dear god. He's a lover AND a fighter.
Recommend him a book and he'll read it for you.
He's like a male version of Belle. So, he's academically smart. But emotionally very dumb.
Please don't mind this man being silly and a little childish at times. It's his way of showing he's healing his inner child with you..
Reassurance would never be a problem with him. He'll give you that before u realize you need it.
Severe abandonment issues.
Do you sing? Good luck. He's gonna keep bothering you to sing for him.
Also he's a choir kid.. you might even go for a "Fly Me To The Moon" duet.
HE needs insane amount of reassurance. Give him ALL OF IT.
He has big hands.. i think u know where this is going
"Is this okay?" While doing IT. AGSAGDASJJAKSAAJ
Elizabeth
She braids your hair.
A ball of sunshine, actually. She acts like a teenage girl with a massive crush around u
She needs kisses and you'll give her all of it.
She adores dancing so pls dance with her
Love language is physical touch.
You + her = PDA
She takes commissions from you but instead pay her with a date
She loves strawberries and sometimes you would pick strawberries together
"They listen to u rant--" bitch no. With Elizabeth? You rant TOGETHER.
"I love you more" competitions.
Marianne gives u a locket of Elizabeth
Ava loves you for her actually. You and Elizabeth would go visit the tavern and she would be like "EEEEEEEEEEE"
Cheesiest petnames beware.
Hold her as she tells you about her mommy issues.
"Slay the house boots down houston im deceased" "Liza, what language are you speaking?"
She loves idioms sometimes even no one gets it, and you kinda have to deal with it.
HAND HOLDING IS A MUST
Selene/ Lady May
Shes the most introverted person that has ever introverted. So indoor dates.
Love language is quality time
I feel like there would be more to her character.. so we'll see (free space)
Loves combing your hair
Would dedicate like 10 songs to you and you've just brushed your hand with hers
A hopeless romantic so she aint lettin u go
Family issues. So, her parents do not approve of you
Yest despite her family disapproving, you fight for her.
Only lets you touch her hair
Hates horror movies. She hides her face behind you a lot.
"Darling" is her petname for you.
She plays ukelele and sings to u often
Jake (I'm including him because I love him. Yes. I do. Despite what he pulled in the 2nd chapter. If u can love canon alistar then im allowed to love jake 😔)
Overprotective mf
Never lets u near damian
Pretty toxic lol
Only loves you. Literally. This man loves no one else lmao
Jealous guy
Simp
"Hold me im angry" "why what's wrong?" "Damian beat me at UNO"
You have to rlly empathize with this man. He has mental health issues
Communication issues. *runs from u*
Bad flirt but you love him anyways
You have to put up with his dark humor
Level 2-3 asshole around you, level 10 at everyone.
If you're shorter than him then he wont let u live a single day without letting you know "how the air up here feels like"
Love language is physical touch.
Nerfed Chaz Thurman.

Waughhh Ari!!😭😭 thank you so so much for such a sweet response to my silly lil jjk sona thoughts🥺 It was such a fun time sending in her info to chat about, a lot of my friends enjoy but are not super into jjk, especially not to the extent of making a sona/oc so I’ll generally just have ideas marinate in my mind because I don’t want to overwhelm them by trying to talk about it ^^;
And!! Thank you so so much for all of your wonderful support and offer to listen to all of her lore™️, I would just never want to bore you or clog up your inbox/blog!🥺 (But I cannot lie I do have some more😳) But anyways!!! I cannot get over how sweet your response is I’m glad her CT seems to be interesting enough, especially considering it’s more or less support based. I was struggling big time trying to think of something that would seem fitting AND work, so to hear that she has the esteemed Ari stamp of approval,,,,sobbing and screaming,,,the highest honor🥺
Omg omg I had never even considered her technique possibly weakening the side effects of Sugu having to consume the curses that is😳 so so big brain but also so <:( poor guy has to get his CT enrichment time so the curses don’t eat at him from the inside out </3 She’s just here to support her friends and protect them in any way she can, and if that means giving them silly friendship bracelets then so be it😤
And ramble aside!!! Pretty please know that I, as well as everyone else would love to hear about your sona if you ever feel like chatting about them! The more the merrier, jjk sonas are such a fun thing to create and I know yours is absolutely lovely! <:D As always there’s zero rush to respond or anything of the like, and thank you so so much for your time!🥺

She’s just here to support her friends and protect them in any way she can, and if that means giving them silly friendship bracelets then so be it😤
LIKE… she’s just such a lil angel T_T i’m such a sucker for characters who unabashedly adore their friends….. i just KNOW they never take those bracelets off too . hhhh they’re adorable…. i’m clutching my chest n falling to the ground….. pls have mercy 🍓 anon……….

Idk if we do oc talk here, but i needed to tell someone about my favorite boy. I made a whole twst oc who is a third shroud w/middle child syndrome named Connie bc of certain connections to greek and latin words in the other boy’s names. Cringe is dead you can make ur ocs related to canon now/j. He bullies Idia (lovingly) about using gamer speak and internet abbreviations out loud. He and Ortho are menaces bc of their 🥺 act. He’s still very much a Shroud and an ignihyde student he never wears his uniform coat it’s the Emotional Support Jacket at all times.
Connie isn’t quite as eccentric as his brothers are considered, but he’s got his quirks. A little paranoid, never seems to sleep, has cameras and bugs and droids everywhere he can hide them. Seems quiet and hard to approach, but is a warm person until someone hits his berserk button. He hears someone say a single negative word about Idia or Ortho and he’s already swinging. Connie has no mercy for anyone who would even think hurtful things about the people he cares about. He’s their shield, he’ll stand at Idia’s side in the future, he needs to make sure nothing bad happens again. Never again.
He’s still a kid though. He likes to have fun, and his idea of fun can vary drastically depending on who he’s with and if there’s someone acting as impulse control. He and Ortho aren’t allowed to wander campus without a chaperone. They’re watched diligently to ensure it doesn’t happen. It happens anyways, and then explosions happen. Connie and Idia have a healthy sibling rivalry, always trying to one up each other. Fighting over academics, video game scores, height, you name it. Often verbal, sometimes physical, never magical. They have their sibling fights the old fashioned way, by wrestling, yanking hair, kicking, and biting until someone (Ortho) tells them to stop.
Connie is still Idia’s little brother, no matter how much he annoys him. He helps with homework he struggles with and they play games together when they’re not at each other’s throats. When Connie and Ortho get in trouble, which is often, they can always run and hide behind Idia’s back. What do you mean Idia’s precious little brothers caused that mess?? They’re totally innocent, how dare you accuse them of something like that! He could see Connie doing it, but Ortho? NEVER! It’s probably those other freshmen! Jeez!
They’re just funny little guys. I needed someone else to know about them before I exploded. Thank u for the ramble spot- 🐝
we absolutely DO talk ocs here. ocs, theories, brainrot abt ur fave characters, literally anything. if there’s one thing i am, it’s a good listener. (it comes with my introverted nature😭 i think.) scream at me abt ur blorbos and i will scream back!!! /pos
another shroud sibling. my heart is so full. FIRST OF ALL CONNIE SOUNDS LIKE A MENACE TO IDIA (lovingly) AND I ADORE HIM ALREADY. the sibling rivalry… i love it. pushing each others buttons😭 realistic sibling dynamics🤍🤍🤍!!! and oh my god imagine connie and idia getting into a physical fight in front of the other third years.. absolutely shocked because who is this firecracker able to wring such emotions out of idia????!! and ortho is more than happy to brag abt both his brothers 😞😞
and aaaaa ortho and connie getting into little shenanigans.. the way they have to be supervised PLEASE THEYRE SO SILLY… AND THEN HIDING BEHIND IDIA’S BACK WHEN THEY GET INTO TROUBLE😭😭 i can’t fight the smile growing on my face “He could see Connie doing that, but Ortho? NEVER!” i’m ascending. this is absolutely gold. idia’s innocent little siblings could never do anything wrong!!!🥺🥺🥺 it must have been ace or grim. it must have!
thank u for this bc u have no idea how much i love familial tropes. like romantic things? they’re cool! but familial tropes and platonic intimacy are at the top for me 😭 just imagining all the shroud sibling interactions has me tearful. and this isn’t even touching on the angst potential…
#might be bc i’m aroace but this made me SO HAPPY#i have a habit of loving people’s ocs more than the ACTUAL characters#like i will forget they’re not canon characters i’ll be that invested in their little life#SO PLEASE TELL ME MORE IM SO INTERESTED#GENUINELY I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABT THE SHROUD BRO SHENANIGANS#📩・/ asks#🐝・/ anon

A ten (10!!!!!) part ask / analysis sent to me by @canadianheartgirl
hi, v. how is life going? hope things are better on your end.so, i was reading your answer abt willy being needy and it got me thinking. aberdeen has a very close family and close friends. she can spend holidays eating her mom's cooking, stay late at her parent's and have her dad drive her to her place, cuddle with her little brother. she's living an independent life and going after her dreams, but with this whole emotional support close to her. phisically close. willy doesn't.
its not to say he doesn't have his family support or his friends', that they aren't close too, or that things getting hard he's on his own, but we got to see him himself talk about how it feels like people aren't listening, or paying attention. on top of that, he has intense criticism all the time from media and some leafs fans. he says he doesn't care about it, but how much of it was too much to get him to this 'not caring' point?
hearing people talk bad things abt you and your work ethic is a horrible thing in any field of work, imagine in such a intense one like hockey? bet this sh*t does get him maybe more than he's letting on, specially with the impact of this coments being him changing his life entirely, up and leavig what's (and who's) familiar, and we already saw how much this specific thing affects him.
guess what i'm trying to say with all this rant i went on, is that i got extremely focused on aberdeen's experiences (specially her NSFW ones), all the learning she's getting on this new world she got to enter, and her growth overall because we aways expect to read this well-thought arcs for the OC's of the spine buster universe. but this time, it just hit me how deep your 'hockey characters' are too.
of course we can see there's intense research about the real live version of them: the way they behave, the way they speak, their backstories, their mannerisms... (i mean, I never gave a second glance at willy's direction before TPWP, but now everytime I read that "willy giggled" i can almost listen it because that's exactly how he acts, it's what we see in his interviews. he giggles easily about the most silly things.).
but beyond this real life aspect of the 'hockey character-willy' it's stiking what you're giving us about him, the levels we get to see: the vulnerability, the fears, the needs, the wants and dreams beyond hockey. i feel like we get to know this 'hockey character' on ways we didn't with any of the other ones.
yes, morgan and fred were diferent people by the end of bree an aleida's arcs, and we got to know other facets of them that we didn't when their stories begun, but with this story it feels like you're developing willy too, not just the OC. does that makes any sense?
it's not that we didn't get it with the others at all... i mean, we read about fred's numbness and the life aleida brought him, we saw morgan open his eyes to how harsh life can be outside what mold he knew. but this time it feels like the focus is the both of them - as individuals and as parts of a couple.
i don't know if it's because willy and aberdeen are just so much younger than the other characters, and we're watching them (and their relationship) grow... i don't know. it's still very much so aberdeen's story, but the willy character became a world on it's own.
i hope this doesn't backfires and you read it as some sort of critic. please see it as a huge compliment because it's written out of a place of real admiration of your writing and your ability to create such round characters and arcs. i don't know why i got into this whole daydream just from your answer to an ask, but i thought maybe you'd like to know how much i enjoy and admire your universe, your writing- the talent and thw work. Stay safe <3
My answer:
It’s so so so so SO SO SO SO right to say that Aberdeen has a support network while she works on achieving her dreams close to her, whereas William doesn’t, and that’s a big reason why he’s so needy. In the aftermath of that Carolina game we heard him tell Aberdeen he doesn’t talk much because he felt people weren’t listening. But he knows that Aberdeen always listens, which is why he always talks to her. It’s another reason why he needy too – he likes to be listened to. I think we all do, as human beings. Willy is no exception.
The constant comments from the media about his “attitude” and work ethic definitely don’t help the situation, but he really did learn to tune them out a long time ago. He could care less what they think or what they say about him. The only thing he would care about is if they ever said a thing against Aberdeen. He’d go apoplectic. He’d go apeshit. He’d burn the entire city down. I think he’s very much like Morgan that way – both of them would burn down Toronto (and Long Island, in Morgan’s case) if anybody bothered Bee or Aberdeen.
And yes, my stories are very much about my OFCs and focuses on them, but I would be doing a disservice to the characters I’ve created in Morgan and William (and Fred!) if I didn’t let them grow with my OFCs too. They are definitely deep on their own level. If I didn’t give them their own vulnerability, their own fears, their own needs, their own wants and dreams beyond hockey, they would be static characters next to incredibly dynamic characters, and that wouldn’t be good writing.
So yes, I am developing Willy too, and yes, your comments make sense! I think it does help that they are younger – I’m acutely aware that most of you are in your late teens and early 20s (I’m an old hag lmfao) so you relate more to these characters and their actions and decisions because they are your age.

How abt 2, 14, 20, 31, 39 and 49 for the OC asks? ^0^
First I’d like to say that I’m sorry it took me approximately eight years to answer these, anyhow here we go
2. Do you have a personal favorite among your OCs?
Oh my god, I absolutely do. Naasir Siirel has been my favorite for forever now, he’s dramatic and silly and he develops crushes easily and often. Also, he tries too hard to seem cool and he’s actually a really dorky nerd. I thought that maybe I was going to be able to try and at least shift my focus to another character for a little while and then Dani just had to go and write me the World’s Only Perfect Piece of Writing about Naasir and Boluvi and so I’ll never be able to escape.
14. Introduce an OC with a tragic backstory
Okay so it’s not exactly tragic, but I’m going to talk about Henri Louis “Henry” Chastain anyway (he’s pretty new so there’s not a lot of in depth story here though). Okay, so the deal with Henry is basically just that when he was like twenty two when he ended up coming into contact with a magic user who had a grudge against his family (for a reason I have yet to establish) and so this magic user cursed him to live out the rest of his life as a cat. He held out hope that he would be able to sort things out for only maybe like a month or so before the hopelessness really set in and he just decided to try and find a good gig somewhere as a house cat. He ended up going to live with Amelia Taggart and her son Alistair who was five at the time where he spent the next twelve years of his life and of course over that time he was presumed dead and his family was absolutely devastated. So some time during that twelfth year Alistair ended up befriending Ezra Brody who also ended up getting cursed (with magical empathy, but I’ll leave that explanation up to Dani) and so they worked out a way to lift Ezra’s curse via a one time use spell or something and they went back to Alistair’s house to do it and because Henry’s curse was a bigger deal his was the one that was broken. It was probably kind of terrible and because he was a cat for so long he still sort of retains some cat-like attributes (like being able to see well in the dark etc), but I mean he ends up married and has three kids (which I like to call the cat babies) so things work out for him.
20. Do any of your OCs sing? If they sing, care to share more details (headcanon voice, what kind of songs they like etc)?
Alright, so I have a few OCs who sing, but how could I pass up another opportunity to talk about Naasir? So I don’t really know that I have a headcanon voice for him, but I do know that every single time I listen to any MIKA song I immediately think of him, so if he were to sing anything it would definitely be something like the songs MIKA sings.
31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)
Okay, I’m terrible and not very fond of this question so I’m just going to go ahead and link you right back to the last time I answered it, even if that was like forever and a half ago. Here.
39. Introduce any character you want
Obviously I have to introduce Alistair because he’s the newest. Alistair is like seventeen and he’s got a broken magic pocket watch that randomly sends him to various times at like any moment. He’s pretty terrible and with the exception of his hardworking mother, Amelia, he doesn’t really care about anybody else unless it really affects him in any way. He’s got like almost no respect for authority and he just does whatever he pleases a lot of the time so he gets in trouble at school pretty often and because of this they cut him a deal that if he competes on the school swim team they’ll be more lenient with his punishments (he’s a really good swimmer). His father walked out on him and his mother when he was like five so he has been known to take out his aggression towards his absentee father on other adult men, he’s working on it though. He only ever listens to the same three songs. He will bite directly into ice cream. He likes to go fishing and he loves helping his mother cook (he’s very good at it too, years of practice). His mother runs a small inn and they keep chickens in their backyard and he’ll do pretty much anything she asks him, but not without being a little bit of an ass. And he and Ezra meet when Ezra moves to the small town they live in and he accidentally gets caught up in one of Alistair’s little time traveling escapades and they don’t really mesh well at first (in fact not long after that Ezra punches him in the face), but Ezra keeps real close tabs on him, because Alistair (who he sometimes calls Tag) is his only link to magic and he’s really into it. They spend a lot of time together and eventually they end up boyfriends. We haven’t really worked that part out yet, but I’m sure it will be great.
49. Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes?
After giving this very serious question all the very serious thought that it deserves I have come to the decision that it has to be my new terrible time traveling son, Alistair Taggart. He’s really kind of a distressing person and it fits perfectly into his personality.
#My OCs#Dani's OCs#Naasir Siirel#Boluvi Avniya#Alistair Taggart#Ezra Brody#I'm sorry it took eight thousand years but I'm terrible and unreliable#arctic-urpo#asks
