Fellow OC creators

Because I’m being easily distracted by stuff today I thought why not have a little fun thing for my followers and fellow OC creators. 

Like this post and I’ll make an aesthetic for the OC of your choice. I’ll contact you to get the OC and any specific details you might want to see in the aesthetic and whatnot! 

I can’t guarantee how fast I’ll get them done for you, because I still have 2 and 1/2 hours left of work, but it will be something I can work on afterwards! 

My Young Justice OC Marnie Hemmings/Harmony

@starsandstormyseas​ MCU OC Mia Fletcher

@swiftly-heart MCU OC Imogen Haylock

and @sakura-soldier story

These are some of the things I’ve made in the past. I’m an amateur when it comes to making edits, but I’ve had fun making these and I want to give something to others!

[winter-is-ending]

I would have slowed down, for you.

Another mood board for @herebesparrows/@sparrow-fic‘s OC Imogen and Pietro. I love the ship name so much: Silversparrow.

NEW CHAPTER - SPARROW

Imogen Haylock has been lied to her whole life. Clint Barton is determined to set her straight. After all, he always did have a soft spot for kids like her, no matter where their loyalties lie.

just found out I can’t count, but I did write another chapter of this, so I’ve got that going for me at least

[kangaracharacha]

Cuddle Tag Game

Rules: for each of your OCs, rate how cuddleable they are on a scale of 1-10. Descriptions/elaborations are totally rad, but you do you, fam. Tag some people you like after!

Imogen Haylock - 2 (there’s like, 2 people in the world she would cuddle, and everyone else can just go away)

Marwa Abadi - 5 (aye, she’ll either hug you or stab you. it be like that sometimes.)

Amelie Roussel - 7 (too nice to say no and not afraid of Feelings)

Theresa Williams - 6 (not like super into cuddling but she has to make up for Michael, so)

Michael - 0 (so many zeros. what is physical affection. he no comprendo)

I tag everyone that’s reading this. Go. Tag me. Do it.

[kangaracha]

tell me about your ocs tho

you asked for this

so it’s been like, a while, since i really looked at my ocs outside of zombies, and also my work with the most proper ocs for zombies isn’t published yet, so i’m just going to do the three from other fandoms that i have big fics for and if you wanna hear about my little zombies ocs you can ask about em. okay. okay.

this is also really hard cause these characters go through so much change over the course of these fics, and i’m trying not to give away spoilers xD i will try. my best.

the OG. the one and only. the working-through-your-teenage-frustrations character. i love her.

IMOGEN HAYLOCK

mcu -  read sparrow

so the thing with imogen is that i wanted to do something different to the other oc fics I’d seen so far in this fandom. which is not to say those fics were bad or anything, i love them, i just want to be different. I was interested in writing a character that was like....not the perfect fit for the avengers, or the girl that got along with everyone, and then i saw TWS and related media (lookin at you, agents of shield), and i was like, ‘okay but if you were just hydra by name and working by shield values and principles all that time, and then suddenly you had to get up and kill your coworkers....’ and imogen Began.

i find her interesting for her wit and dry humour, her sarcasm and her big attitude - but also, her frustration with life, the deep-cut anger that she’s carrying with her like a rock, her struggle with self-worth and the way she presents herself to the world, and her complete average-ness in a place where everyone is exceptional. she’s nothing special - she’s just skating by, actually, she’s a high school dropout and on probation as a shield agent, and she’s really only off the streets because hydra value her as an object that might hold some valuable information related to a twenty year old cold case that doesn’t even have any relevance anymore in the grand scheme of things.

in sparrow, she finds something to relate to in clint barton - avenger, but also human disaster zone, making things up on the fly, most overlooked superhero of the century, completely regular guy with one unusual skill. she has to learn to be open to change and to want to be a good person, instead of an angry, ignorant person who will blindy follow whatever order she’s given and pick fights with anyone that disagrees with her. she also realises a lot of things that she should have realised sooner - that what’s left of her family is toxic as hell, that she’s been blindy following the forces of evil for years, that she doesn’t have to be an angry child from a broken home anymore, and that there’s a whole, scary world out there waiting for her and she can go and find anything she wants.

the rest of the trilogy, flicker and swift, follow her finding her way in the world, figuring out who she’s going to be and what she’s going to do, which is very relatable to me rn. it’s like therapy. flicker is also a great opportunity for me to have a crack at writing a romance as a side plot, and getting to let this character grow and realise her own self-worth and that yes, she can actually love and be loved in lots of different ways, is so satisfying. swift is just the icing on the cake, swift is her coming into her power, in her own way, it’s her looking back and realising that she’s changed her life and that she could do it after all, it’s a satisfying ending, i promise. i’m going to share it with you one day.

the slaughter of the lambs is kind of the sequel to the very first ac game that i always wanted and never got - except it’s not about altair because. i’m ~special~. the fic is set 20 years after the game, in the Levant, and is split into 4 parts spanning most of marwa’s lifetime, starting in 1211 AD and ending in 1257 AD and following her through the golden era of the assassin’s and the brotherhood’s downfall. it’s canon complaint, but runs like....canon adjacent. it’s its own story.

MARWA ABADI

assassin’s creed - read the slaughter of the lambs

marwa begins this story as a novice training in masyaf, the only female assassin in all of the levant. she’s raw and half-trained, never seen combat, her strength and ability put into doubt every day - but she’s talented too, and she works twice as hard as the boys, determined to prove everyone wrong. she’s tough and scrappy because she has to be to survive in the world she’s put herself in, and just a little too self-confident, which leads her to a downfall but also an important learning curve about wit and wisdom and loyalty, and the importance of striking a balance between free will and service to a cause. 

the rest of the story follows these themes on through the times of most upheaval in her life, as she struggles with following the creed and the beliefs of the assassin order and playing her role as a soldier for this cause, and with doubt and acting in accordance with her own personal morals and beliefs, which as time goes on and the assassin’s change, she finds do not always align. she has a strong sense of right and wrong and a strong character to back this up, and she strives throughout her life to become wise like her mentors were and to guide the world as best she can towards the right kind of future, as an assassin is supposed to. 

i wrote this character to explore the idea of being a servant to a higher order, to being faceless and lost to time and serving your cause knowing that, and how you find peace with giving your life over to that. especially coming from this day and age, when everything is recorded and everyone wants to be remembered for something, i found this interesting to explore. as marwa developed as a character, the other things came; her struggle with blind loyalty and festering doubt and the careful balance that she needs to strike between them, the folly of youth and the wisdom that she gains as she grows older, and the struggle of being a woman living in a male-dominated period of history and dedicating herself to a craft usually reserved for men. 

the first thing you need to understand about this fic, and this character, is that this is the therapy fic. this is me working through my own issues, but like also add +10 drama so that it’s interesting. and a romance plot, because i need the practise.

ANGIE SOMMARS

pokemon - read to go beyond your borders

angie’s story is mostly a sword/shield fic, though i borrowed some characters and stuff from diamond/pearl. the timelines are not canon. it’s set the year after the events of sw/sh, in galar. it follows angie through the gym challenge and her own personal conflicts, of which she has a laundry list. the fic finds her freshly arrived in galar from her home region in sinnoh, having run away from her responsibilities and the pressure of them at home looking for some kind of answer to her problems, or reassurance that she’s still good at what she does.

angie’s main conflict centres around her being the champion of the sinnoh league, a talented and experienced pokemon trainer sitting painfully exposed in the public eye. she struggles hugely with the reality of this position, and all the expectations that are put up to the person that holds it - she’s expected to be the strongest trainer in the region, to keep up a positive public image as the figurehead of the pokemon league, to be on the job most days of the year and ready for whatever it might throw at her. there’s always someone pushing her to be better, to present herself the way they think she should - and she’s used to being pushed and to being shaped, but there’s only so far you can bend a person before they will break.

angie is burnt out. she’s been in the public eye since she was five years old and competing in pokemon contests, and she’s far from the perfect princess of the league. her mistakes follow her around like a black cloud, creating controversy every time she reaches a new goal and drawing more and more bad press every time she messes something up. she doesn’t know what her own goals are anymore, and she doesn’t know where to go from the platform she’s found herself stranded on - she’s clinging to a position she’s too afraid to admit she doesn’t want anymore, and she’s scared to fall, or to break, or to look out to different horizons.

angie’s story explores the double-edged sword of fame and fortune, the satisfaction of being the best but also the scrutiny people place you under, the impact of ‘cancel culture’ on an individual, depression and anxiety and the endless circles of guilt in a toxic family environment...but also the hope of finding new horizons and finding the courage to take those first steps into the future that you want. it’s a coming of age kind of story, it’s young people finding their feet and new friends and new dreams and supporting each other through hard times. and it all ends well, which, to me, is the most important thing.

To Do List

Tagged by @rebelcolumbia and @winter-is-ending (squee)

Do This: List all the things you’re currently working on in as much or as little detail as you’d like, then tag some friends to see what they’re working on. This can be writing, arts, gifsets, whatever.

I do a lot of stuff and I like to talk about it a lot so I’ll be nice and put a cut. Read at your own risk. Ask about stuff at even further risk (I never shut up gl).

1. Write Flicker and rewrite Sparrow, the first two books in my MCU series

I’ve lost the plot with Flicker again (literally lol), but I’m gonna get it done this time, I swear. This series is all about Imogen Haylock, a high school dropout and almost failed SHIELD recruit, who went on an adventure across the US with Hawkeye in Sparrow. The sequel, Flicker, is a bit of a left turn from that - Imogen’s struggling to figure out where she fits now; just like I’m struggling to figure out how this plot gets from point A to point B in a way that makes sense :| 

2. Write Pulse and Heart, my Supernatural apocalypse AU.

The Shoreline series has been a bit of a harebrained scheme for a while now - it runs from season 5 of the show all the way to season 11 and beyond and is about a woman who is technically dead. I’ve got 50k words...I just need the other 50 000 or so.

3. Write one of my original novels.

There’s about five on the go - there’s the survival of four brothers in an alien invasion in Apocalypse Boys, an adventure into deep space with Cass in Above Sky; there’s Pan, a foray into the world of lost things and forgotten beasts. There’s also two novels I made up on the fly three days ago - The House Of Broken Mirrors, featuring amnesia and an Incident that sets the government on the trail of Maya Simmons, who doesn’t remember what she knows; and Affliction, where superpowers are a disease. 

If any of these sound like something you want to read by the way, feel free to tell me which one I should focus on because I’m terrible at chosing one thing.

4. Actually finish reading the Obernewtyn Chronicles.

I always say Obernewtyn is my favourite book series, but there’s a whole book and a half I haven’t read yet. You can’t judge me though - this series is pretty hard to get through, not to mention the like 7 billion years between each book being released. I’m halfway through book 4 right now. I’m gonna read all 7. I promise.

5. Level out my dressage arena and steal borrow some more fenceposts and stuff for better showjumps.

If you don’t know, I ride horses. And while my dad is happy to build a stable for me, and dig the holes for the arena fence, I get to do everything else. My dressage arena is coming along pretty well so far - I pulled 4 and a half trailer loads of weeds and bushes out of it one afternoon a while ago so you can ride in it now, but it’s still got a lot of mounds and ditches in it which make it hard to work a horse properly in there. I’m also going to put up some old mirrors so I can practise lateral work properly, as soon as I figure out how to put them up.

As for the showjumps, I’ve been stealing borrowing posts from dad for ages but I need mORE and also today I found three good 44 drums to use as wings which is a score because my horse lowkey hates the tiny bucket things I’ve been using so far (he can’t see them properly I think, and if they’re stacked on top of each other the whole thing falls down when he knocks it). My current course has a swedish oxer, a bounce, a corner/apex (he hates these too), and probably like 4 straight bars, and I’m gonna try make a skinny too. (this description was long but I don’t care no one else will listen to me go on about horses lol)

6. Memorise three dressage tests.

Pony club competition coming up and I have two horses going - Wizard will be doing the beginners test because he gets flustered really easily and honestly that will be an achievement. And Charlie, my boy, my love, the best horse ever, will hopefully smash a prelim test out of the park and I think we’re gonna have a go at the novice test too because why the hell not (we’re gonna fail lol). Charlie’s also gonna jump the 60-80cm and 80-1m showjumping grades because according to our Pony Club instructor, that would be impressive for our club lol.

7. Buy horse. Train horse. Sell horse.

I gotta ring a man about a horse, and hopefully it’ll be here in a couple weeks, and then I’ll spend 10 weeks trying to bring it from unhandled to green horse with good basics established and then I’ll either spend some more time training or try to sell for a profit. In theory, anyway.

8. Practise guitar. Relearn violin.

Self explanatory. I don’t have time for this if I’m honest.

9. Learn to draw.

Particularly horses. Again, I don’t actually have time lol.
