OC Ships List:

Hiram x The Quiet Deviless: they started as an excuse to draw cool outfits and look how far they've come. They live rent free in my head and I'm rotating them at lightspeed velocity. Sweet, romantic and a bit obsessive, but all in all very lovey dovey. Extremely scandalous in the eyes of polite society given their tendency for PDA, and a predictable affair if you ask anyone who personally knows Hiram. More about them here and here.

Hiram x Captain Dargor (@thunder-threnodies): fellow associates to friends to lovers to estranged acquaintances to distrustful collaborators to accomplices to friends again to lovers once more to partners to old married couple. What if you lose the person you trust the most? What if you meet them again after a decade, only to realise you both have been irremediably changed by your respective obsessions? What if you choose to keep trusting that person regardless of their changes, and despite their choices? The Narrative did a number on them but they just kept going until they found each other again. Soulful guy who is very tired of life x soulless guy who can't get enough of it. Sensucht x Streben. Immovable Object x Unstoppable Force. More about them here and here.

Hiram x Captain Snipsnop (@that-fella-snipsnop): old pals. Crazy partygoers. Senior citizens on the loose. Listener x infodumper. Amnesiac x eidetiker. Chaotic x chaotic. Research buddies. They enable each other's weirdness. The loveliest old man you will ever meet x the most annoying bastard you will ever interact with. Pov you want to avoid your correspondence class because sometimes the professor is a bit too sinister even for Benthic standards. You apply for an apprenticeship with the nice old captain who seems very sweet and a little out of place at the University. You end up on a dirigible witnessing The Horrors on the Roof. Poor Edward is there. The nice old captain just stole Poor Edward's zeppelin. Why is this happening. You manage to get back to London alive. You decide to attend a party to try and forget about the week you just had. The creepy correspondence professor and the old captain from your Roof adventure are there. Together. They're chugging absinthe shots. What the hell.

Hiram x Giorgione (@that-giorgione): Friends? Enemies? Something else? Something more? Who knows. Guy who owns the entire city x guy who knows every single person in town. They courteously exchange business plans. They politely sit through the same board meetings. They keep sending each other assassins. They keep having lunch together. They undermine each other's affairs. They keep sharing wine. The weirdest business associates situation you've ever witnessed. Guy who can't forget (affectionate) x guy who can't forget (derogatory).

Hiram x Virginia: The funniest crack ship imaginable to me. They had a thing almost 40 years ago and they're both cringed about it. Why are they even talking again. They always end up owing each other favours. They're building a railway. They despise each other. They know each other too well. They both think building the railway wouldn't be as fun without the other. They won't ever admit it. They would love to never meet again. They would love to keep pestering each other forever. Acquaintances (neutral) to lovers (cringe) to enemies to allies to acquaintances (derogatory) to enemies again to whatever is going on with the railway board meetings. Passive aggressiveness champions. Nuisance x nuisance. They're both so annoying god bles.

OC SMASH OR PASS

Rules: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc).

I was tagged by @bardusgate (poll: x) thanks bestie! 💖💖

You all know my blorbo (last portrait by @letters-of-fire)

Name: Hiram Howell Hastings Hargrave

Age: 65 45

Gender: queer

Sexuality: pansexual

🌹 Propaganda for:

Good conversationalist, attentive and polite.

Engaging personality.

Good sense of humour, even if a bit morbid sometimes.

He's always courteous, and knows how to turn small gestures of courtesy into romantic displays.

He's a really good dancer.

Aways pays for everything on dates.

Will play music and read poetry to you.

Will spoil you with gifts.

Soft curls, very clean, loves flowery perfumes.

Throws amazing parties.

🚩 Propaganda against:

[Scandal is increasing...]

He's an incorrigible risk-seeker and he will enable all your destructive habits for fun.

He likes to create problems on purpose when he gets bored. And he gets bored pretty often.

Extensive criminal record.

Will keep offering you dubious beverages.

He can't shut up about The Horrors, he loves The Horrors (this is a good thing if you're A Horror, or a Horrors appreciator).

He can get too intense or too detached without warning.

You will get bad deja-vus if you look in his eyes for too long.

Mirrors bleed around him sometimes.

He's always plotting and scheming. Believe me, you don't want to know his secrets, and you don't want him knowing yours.

I'm tagging some mutuals and everyone else who wants to do this, it would be fun to see more oc polls in the fl fandom! @thunder-threnodies @that-giorgione @the-dye-stained-socialite @thedeafprophet @zeebreezin @viric-dreams @waterlogged-detective @velvetlinedbox @violant-apologia @capn-twitchery
