I made a joke in a server like "I'm Grimmer irl if he was 30 afab and Canadian" (literally not grimmer in any way at all) but I thought actually that would be a cute silly thing to draw

[snippit-crickit]

sorry for obsessing over details but is train armadillo they/he or they/them bc the doodle sheet has both? and a few other drawings of them do as well, and i am way too invested in them to not know if that's a mistake/something you changed later, or not. i wanna be properly respectful. (i seriously just wanna know and don't mean it in some sort of bad faith way)

haha its okay, i know somebody pointed it out already when i first made that ref (half a yr ago?) originally it was a typo but now i think the best way to describe armadillo would be that he does not get human social constructs, and the extistence of things that are gendered is something that sounds very odd to them and she wont pay any attention to it (oh wow a handbag i want to wear that oh wow a bowtie i want to wear that) Basically they dont care (and so do i, i suck at understanding gender myself), they didnt have this kind of complex rules in armadillo society Most of the time i use He because in my mother language every world is gendered and armadillo is a "he"... and has the word "sir" in it which i think is a funny pun lol TLDR gender is weird and i dont know, it will sort itself out probably Have some doodles however!

(this is how his lunchbox looks like)

[adzy-drawz]

YOOOUUUU PAW OVER YOUR OCS AND LORE NOOOWWW

SIR YES SIR 🫡

so since i have a lot of original media ocs that require further context i'll just talk about my tadc ocs since i havent been able to anyway

LONGGG RAMBLE POST UP AHEAD!!

this is dr. clack (he/him), he was a therapist and he has tired dad energy as the second image of doodles says. he's based off of those bead mazes in doctors offices. hes less developed than my other ocs so thats basically all ive come up with for him. he doesnt like to curse and as soon as he pulled up and vaguely got to know all of the others he came to the conclusion all of them are mentally ill. 🥰 he also took forever to name himself so they all just called him doctor for a while until jax called him dr. clack because of the sounds he makes whenever he moves around, and it just stuck.

this is oapy (she/her), her story is so undeveloped but shes super optimistic and takes longer to process things than others. she doesn't really know whats going on half the time but shes trying her best. shes great at dancing and loves being the center of attention but she also manages to be the most calm, kinda acting as the grounding person in the group.

this is sophie (she/they), i included two random images of wooden mannequins cuz well- thats what she looks like. she's one of the basic blank slate NPCs and she gained sentience due to a glitch one day. jax ended up finding her after he bumped into her on purpose and she actually reacted, which the mannequin NPCs dont do. he ended up being the one to name her and befriend them and basically teach them what emotions are what and all that (which he did a surprisingly good job at given his track record). the group keeps her hidden from caine because after the gummigoo incident they're more than certain he would get rid of her in a heartbeat. shes generally really curious, but other than her curiosity they're just a really quiet/shy and sweet person and enjoys just observing the others sometimes. they're also quite blunt since they just say what first comes to mind all of the time.

and ofc last but not least we have my bbg greg (he/him). hes my tadc self insert and if you know me you know him. hes not exactly me of course, he's a completely different version of myself, but we are very similar. hes very nervous and fidgety and has a sort of wont speak unless spoken to kind of mentality when he doesnt know a lot of people in a group, but once he gets comfortable he gets talkative and is a really nice and chill guy, though he's still kind of always nervous and fidgety regardless. he is pretty self indulgent soo- him and caine are dating. they had a sort of enemies to friends to lovers very slow burn kind of thing go on. he always tries his best to be as nice and understanding as he can with everyone.

heres all of their relationship chart thingies with the canon characters!

and heres two doodles with all of them because they're silly

thanks for asking! sorry this post is so violently long. i'll post all of their ref sheets once i make them 😎

The Metahistory of David and Aurèle

Requested by an instagram user.

They're only from 2022 but they have a funny contextual origin lol. once again I wont be including every single image of them cuz most of them are on derekdemetripoo.

Edit: I was going to title this a "Brief" metahistory but it's actually almost as long as Paz's so it's not so brief actually.

HONOURABLE MENTION 1 - LIFE: 5th August 2021

Figure 1. Death and Life | Figure 2. Death and Life bio, both 5/8/21

This has no relation to David or Aurele per se, but it should be mentioned the similar themes of opposites and yin and yang. Plus none of this is on derekdemetripoo so I might as well archive it. This was after Devil's Adequate era during early office era. Death had a sibling that was supposed to contrast with him. Hence, Life. I mostly wanted to do something with the reflected wound infliction trope. Later on she would become Devil.

HONOURABLE MENTION 2 - DEVIL: 4th September 2021

Figure 3. Devil first appearance (4/9/21) | Figure 4. Death and Devil (5th September 2021)

I reconceptualized Life to be a bigger contrast, hence the dark grey skin opposed to Death's light gray skin. Also: red vs blue. Still twins by now. More Devil art:

Figure 5. Death and Devil bio (8/9/21) | Figure 6. Death and Devil smoking lead (9/9/21) | Figure 7. Death and Devil commenting on Harlow's picture (13/9/21)

Figure 8. Devil reading (29/9/21) | Figure 9. Genderbend Devil (20/1/22) | Figure 10. Devil's origin (20/1/22)

In Figure 6, they're meant to be sitting on something, but nothing's there so it looks weird. Also they were aroace (see: the flag), but now I don't think much on Derek's (Death) sexuality. The girl with the crop-top in Figure 7 was originally an adopt named Kehlani, but I don't have much use for her anymore so I'm trying to resell her on toyhouse.

Figure 9, as bad as it looks, Death is supposed to be in shock. Even though Death has the ability to shapeshift, he probably didn't do it as much or to the same degree that Devil did. As implied by Figure 10 (a rewrite of Devil's origins), Devil has a bit of an identity problem because he wasn't born as his own person, but rather a clone of Death, so he probably shapeshifted pretty liberally to make up for his lack of individuality. Pretty interesting concept, too bad it's not canon anymore. By Figure 9, we had already made it into early TBOD development. This would be the end of Devil. The only relevance he bears now is his shared tail shape with Aurele.

AURELE'S CONCEPTION: 11th September 2022 (hashtag never forget)

Figure 11. What would eventually become the basis of the au (11/9/22)

Almost exactly 2 years ago I drew this doodle of Aarum with short hair. The idea was to draw him and Derek with swapped hairstyles (Aarum short and Derek long) but I gave up on Derek because he looks ugly w long hair. This was also supposed to be a roleswap au, so that's why Aarum has a weird choker instead of his scar. In the end since I gave up on drawing swapped Derek it just looks like Aarum wearing a choker, which is ooc. lol

AURELE'S CREATION: 19th October 2022

Figure 12. Aurele's first ref (19/10/22)

So this was when I decided to actually start cooking up the swap au. You can tell at this time Aurele was more like Aarum instead of a separate identity. The part about emotions doesn't really make sense because if he were what Derek is, he wouldn't have any to begin with, but maybe he chose to turn them on.

The pet panther thing does carry on to modern Aurele. Here is name is "Aurélien" and it was later that I gave him the nickname Aurele for short. Whether or not his name is still Aurélien I don't really care, I'm gonna keep calling him Aurele.

DAVID'S CREATION: 20th October 2022 (my birthday!!!!)

Figure 13. David's first concept | Figure 14. David's first bio, both 20/10/22

On my 17th birthday, I created David!!!! So he shares his conceptual birthday with me, but his canonical one with Derek. To this day I still love the David I drew with his bio, it's so insanely sexy even though it was the first time I'd properly drawn him. Very proud of that. He has never looked as good I'm afraid.

Now the swap au was complete. Back then I gave David the same surname was Derek because they're the same, duh. I later changed it to Demos to separate them as different characters. Since this was an au there was no kind of canon within it, whatever I happened to draw of it had little relevance or weight. Also, the infamous gay sex angst:

Figure 15. First sex on main (14th November 2022)

I still chuckle about how serious I was when I posted this. Needless to say it's not canon at all. It honestly reads better as David x Aarum than David and Aurele.

AURELE REBRAND: 10th December 2022

Figure 16. Aurele redesign (10/12/22) | Figure 17. Aurele and Derek (14/12/22)

Now came the era of true Aurele. He was no longer an Aarum copy but his own, chaotic person. Ultimately this is a way more interesting take on the swap au because if you had that much power you'd turn out different too. Also taking into account the sheer lack of social interaction that comes with it, making him more dense than Aarum is.

Figure 18. Derek and Aurele again (11th March 2023)

From time to time I would draw Derek and Aurele together as a funny hypothetical situation. It was never canon.

SIDEBAR: DAVID'S INTERESTS PT 1

Figure 19. David and The Muppets (1/02/23)

It was around this time that I got hyperfixated on The Muppets so I made it one of David's interests. Weirdly enough, he had the kermit tie when I first drew him (before my Muppets fixation), so that interest was already there, but it was an arbitrary decision. I only amplified it after it became a hyperfixation. By the way, I have his tie irl. I don't have that exact watch, but a close one. I hid it somewhere in my room because the ticking was driving me insane, I think it's still somewhere there.

THE WHITE HOLE THEORY: 27th November 2023 onwards

Figure 20. First concept of the White Hole theory (27/11/23)

The caption on the original instagram post:

"essentially this theory suggests dereks universe was actually created by aurele destroying his (inspired by an existing take on the big bang) bc he wanted to give david all his power to see what he could do w it. which was basically a reset but w david (now derek) in power and having forgotten everything. aurele was still sprinkled around in the new universe, thats what aarum is. he is as much aurele as derek is david. which is to say, sort of, in essence!. so yeas. i guess u could say. love endures 😊❤️! i also like this theory bc it implies derek isnt alone in that aurele was like him before the restart. but they cant ever meet in their true /essences/. only with one being sort of a reincarnation of themself this isnt to say both universes are exactly the same, bc theyre not. for one, derek's universe is actually a multiverse. bc derek created the multiverse (youll see why in the book), whereas aureles was just one this is not canon lol im just having fun, call it dubiously canon...."

That's about it. It basically still holds up to modern development. Now there was some weight to this au, in that it might not even be an au! it might be the u! but before the u even existed. Fun!

Figure 21. Aurele painting (26/8/24)

DAVID LORE UPDATE: 4th June 2024

Figure 22. David facts (4/6/24)

Felt it was somewhat relevant to include this. A bit more about David's origins however his birth year here is 1935 instead of 1937, so he would've been 34 when he died. Maybe it was a mistake, or maybe it was a lore change. Not sure. I think I like 32 better.

SIDEBAR: DAVID'S INTERESTS PART 2

Figure 23. David and Aarum (15th May 2024) | Figure 24. First appearance of David's art (11th August 2024)

I had already been entertaining the idea of David being interested in animation (like me~~~~) and I eventually made it canon (Figure 23). From that interest, he'd also know how to draw and maybe even animate (Figure 24), his art style was inspired by Hanna-Barbera cartoons & The Beatles cartoon, both of which were around when he was alive.

From Figure 24, I began to think of another plot point in David's afterlife, from the patreon:

"if u didnt catch the august request dump, davids fake imaginary girlfriend is charlotte and i think after he died aurele would offer to make her real but it wouldnt work out bc of the ethical concerns."

Figure 25. David and Charlotte (22/8/24)

Everything after December 2023 is pretty streamline, so there's no need to really talk about those individually. There is actually a bit of plot in David & Aurele's life, but I never wrote it or drew it or even talked about it. I just thunk it. I will probably get into that in the future. Now I'm really sleepy after writing all this.

Figure 26. David and Aurele by David (21/8/24)

Hope you enjoyed, goodbye.

Ne Daniel ref sheet,if you even care. yayyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

you guys probs wont care cause ive only posted daniel a minimum of like three times or something the entire time ive used tumblr but he is actually my goo bae and the first thing i drew in procreate(i think) all those eons ago on my dads ipad. if youre curious PLEASE ask me about him(explodes into two oddly shaped pieces of toast that look somewhat appealing)

head spin and old sheet below :3

you may(NOT) recognize the doodle as the base i used for his 3d model, very observant get a pat on the back. from who, it doesnt matter

off topic but i REALLY want to make an ask blog eith him, and other stuff but i dont have the audience or motivation 🙁🙁🙁😞

[genesisrecord]

hello world.

name's alex, or i guess i also go by cancel on here too. he and neos if you want. 18 years old unfortunately. transmasculine nonbinary and aroace. im diagnosed with many things and undiagnosed with many more things. welcome to the introductory post for this chaos pit of a blog.

information.

im an artist with a main focus in character design and concept art, though i do illustrations too. i love my ocs so thats what i draw most of the time. id advise against following me for fandom stuff other than lotf but i do reblog some animanga things and other media i like from time to time. i use this blog as a catchall for my art, yapping, and reblogs, so beware.

if youre coming from the lotf fandom, hi. so heres the deal. i used to draw the lotf characters, but eventually my designs and hcs for them became so complex and removed from the novel that i decided to make them ocs. theyre called the island kids. you can look at their refs and read about them by clicking that link. i long for them to eventually be their own characters apart from lotf, but i understand that they still look and act similarly to the lotf characters, and seeing as they literally evolved from them, they can pretty much be treated as the same thing. thats why im here. i still engage with the fandom normally, but when i draw the "lotf characters" im really drawing the island kids. apologies if thats highly confusing, dont worry. im still confused myself.

if youre here for oc content, hi. i have way too many projects to possibly keep track of so id suggest to not even try. if youre interested in any particular project feel free to ask and i will spill the beans all over your counter. i dont really have a hierarchy of projects as my focus switches constantly but in general the island kids and catwog are on top. im also a big fan of making gijinkas so youll probably see a lot of those from me too. i aspire to be a character designer / concept artist one day and making ocs have always kind of been an outlet for me to hone that skill. i treat them like my babies. i hope you will like them as much as i do.

some other miscellaneous interests i have are mythology, shakespeare, various animanga, some choice video games, internet / psychological horror, and a bunch of other stuff, but i dont usually talk about those on here. they may pop up from time to time though.

rules.

before you follow ; im quite literally almost never on this app so posts are extremely inconsistent. i wouldnt follow for one particular thing because you will get an earful of everything else im interested in at the moment. not much else, just make sure you can handle the uber instincts of my uber autism.

do not interact ; bigots of any affiliation (racist, ableist, queerphobic, etc), proshippers, zionists, terfs, ai "art" creators or defenders, nftbros, mspec "lesbians" or defenders, and generally annoying people. this isnt exhaustive but for the most part i just block if i dont like you.

misc.

my ask box is always open for general chatter or art requests. probably wont draw media characters but feel free to send in lotf characters, my ocs, or your ocs and i might doodle them depending on my availability.

please dont hesitate to message me if we share an interest or you just wanna talk with me. i dont bite i promise. and if you are ever so inclined to draw one of my ocs, i beg of you, please tag me or send it to me so i can scream about it and do my little autism dance while looking at it for the next 5 business days.

you can use the tags down below to look for specific stuff on my account, though i cant guarantee everythings tagged properly. i also tag reblogs with the name of the media im reblogging and the characters in the post so you can also look for stuff that way.

if youre interested in more of my yapping and / or art, heres my twitter and instagram. my discord is ihavetheconch if you want to shoot me a friend request.

[krii-bolts]

ughhhhhhh I finally finished it after a month + Being sick rn THE UPDATED REF FOR MY MD OCS !!!1!!1!

There IS a version with all the color palates but like it looks so cluttered and messy and just, BLEH !!!

Im not posting it here

I do need to doodle my ocs more and more but my brain. Brain wont let me

I got one more WIP Ref to finish up and then I'm all good to continue onto newer drawings

[little-puku]

Ahhh i forgot to add 📔 for the last one but 📔 also for Pecha with Kaede??

Ok sorry for taking so long i was trying to make a "different style" to make it looks like "someone else drew it but idk if it worked haha

Anyway Kaede sketchbook, is like filled with doodles, studies, notes, poetry, declaration of love and crushes, wonky stuff etc. Etc. He is a lil private about if but he sees you are someone that wont make fun of him he will let you see it (he will let you see it if you ask him, he is just nervous you will think he is some kind of creep for drawing people)

Ok! This is lets said when they both meet at Paldea, Kaede saw Pecha when she visited Hassel and Brassius and they where helping him set his Art expo, he got nervous chit chat here and there but he drew her!! he took notes of her because he actually loved how she looked. There is a tiny draw where she is sitting with Rawst talking because he was wondering who that person was bit also called his attemtion haha

Later he also made a big drawing of her, to later have as a ref for him to paint it on a big Canvas and thats how he started his next expo about the "Pink Godness" because he likes her very much 💖 (at this time he didnt know it was love he just thought was huge admiration and passion for her beauty but he was wrong)

[simpforkhun]

things i use in my art:

use references. i know this is probably obvious but IT HELPS !! feel free to use as many references as you need and don't be afraid to open up a sketchbook to, well—sketch out your ideas and play around with composition !

train your eye to see larger shapes instead of relying too heavily on your brains judgement. some people turn their paper + ref upsidedown so they get the shape right instead of their idea of what it looks like.

“perfect practice.” something my music teacher told me back when i was younger—it doesn't matter how much you practice if you don't try to get better.

experiment with composition. if you're not sure how things are gonna look, take a page out of your sketchbook (or make a new canvas if you're on digital) and doodle a rough sketch of the shapes youre thinking of

take breaks. sometimes you've been working on a piece for too long n it looks PERFECT, but when you look back you notice all the mistakes. or sometimes its the opposite !! sometimes it looks so so ugly but then you take a break and suddenly you can't believe you even drew that. also sometimes your hand will hurt but u wont notice until u stop drawing. drink water, go to the restroom, eat, nap; all of these are good ways to take breaks without the whole "…but i could be working" mindset

save your wrists by using more of your elbow and shoulder instead of your wrists. also don't forget to stretch (i've got funky joints…learned not to rely too much on finger joints n wrists the hard way ouch)

don't draw too much in the dark. i know the night is tempting but turn on a lamp. also drink water, eat, take care of yourself please. (refer to #5)

draw stuff you like. when you like something and you're drawing it, it's like "WOAH i get to draw [xyz] !!!" and you have more fun with it. oH but don't pressure yourself to be perfect !! i say perfect practice but perfection is just the image you had in your head

don't be afraid to experiment !! sometimes u gotta screw it all n just have fun. use funky colors !! go insane with shading !! eventually, you'll just pick out the stuff you like from your experiments and develop a really cool n unique style <3

bored ?? just have fun n doodle stuff. break all the rules. kill someone with your art. art the hell out of a random friend (ask beforehand). draw your pencil a thousand times over. make a really detailed envelope. have fun !! art is supposed to be fun !!

go insane yeah

any tips 4 art

[mugzymiik]

Everything Bug :]

ITS BUG DAY. BUG WAS CREATED TODAY!!! A YEAR AGO!!!!! SEPTEMBER 29, 2023!!!!!!!!

oh my GOD holy fucking shit

Bug. Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug I LOVE HER SO MUCHHHHH

she was originally created as just- a doodle. a concept doodle at most, not to be taken seriously,,but my GOD did she evolve so much from that. from just a little concept I'd spun in my mind a while to THE oc i have THE most art of, ever. she has:

nearly 150 images

7 animations

2 AUs she at least half-stars in

at LEAST 4 pieces of writing (minus some minor, less-professional ones)

to her name, ALL of which were made in under a year.

oh my godd i love her so fucking much she is my baby my pride and joy.. ae is such a comfort to me ,even just thinking about her existence brings me so much joy i HBSSJVDNSDVDNSFJSBDJSBDNSDB /VVPOS

fuck it. Everything Bug. for th rest of this post

first and foremost,,,her ref ofc!!!

some of her concept arts, including her first ever shitpost (also includes the concept for her initial TIO form)

some Her And Gold™ related shit next (Siblings Premium Free Trial my #1 oc + canon comfort duo)

and also some other shenanigans!!! :D

i even made her on ponytown ffs

also some fun facts

Zef, FantomenK and Kubbi are her groups for pieces!!! (If any of those are used for group names I'm fucked)

Ae often has anger outbursts because Redd (I want him dead.) never taught aer anything at all throughout his '''custody''' of aer. And so she was never taught how to healthily manage her anger

SHE CAN BUZZ.

Most, if not all, of her nicknames consist of just, bugs. Moth. Firefly. Bee. Wasp and Hornet are used a lot by the other Heroes (in an endearing way ofc). Beetle is by far everyones (especially Bug's) #1 fav tho (they secretly named her journal "Beetle" but they wont ever admit it)

On the topic of nicknames, she does NOT like being called "Buggy" by ANYONE. They WILL get violent

Ae got nervous at just the idea of maturing and ae straight-up screamed when they got the first piece for aer

She is VERY much an avid birdwatcher. They will talk to HOURS about it to Hexalace (Hexalace is TERRIFIED of birds BUT she tries her best to listen anyway)

Before they ended up apologizing to Gold for being a bitch they started going out of their way to do little things for him- very simple things like finding (or, 'finding', with heavy quotations in some instances.) (She stole a lot of it) something ae heard that he was looking for and leaving it in his windowsill during the night. (Said example scared the shit out of Gold and he was so on edge throughout that whole timeframe)

They tend to the other Heroes' rambles about their interests a lot and thats how they got into most of their own (ae tinkers with a bit of technology thanks to Gold, in fact. Shut up I'm inserting my headcanons here /silly/lh)

She eats uncooked spaghetti noodles and LOVES cheese

They and Gold do occasionally vibe together (it was extremely awkward every time at first)

Before Hexalace became aer new caretaker ae was bouncing back and forth between staying with the other caretakers (Pentellow and Iris & Cube mostly, VERY rarely Pyrare, only in extreme emergencies because they all learned that Bug did NOT manage very well being in a room with Pyrare (and/or Gold for that matter, as this was VERY pre-apology)

She's went to a funeral once and made a really bad joke that 'why is everyone wearing grayscale, I thought that was my thing' (they were immediately removed from said funeral, ae didn't really understand why until way later)

She spells Hexalace's name as 'Hezalace' and REFUSES to spell it any other way, even if someone tries teaching them that it's not a 'Z' it's an 'X'. Hexalace doesn't mind though she knows ae'll grow out of that one

For some reason, she and Gold ‘share a braincell’ (not literally) very often. Sometimes they'll have very similar reactions as each other to certain things, if not the exact same reaction.

She's a VERY skilled pickpocketer- if you need something Yoinked, that is your girl. They've stolen so many things from those she trusts to tease them a bit (ae has yet to understand that she has to give them back before ae leaves, sadly) that everyone now has a habit of checking their pockets even after just walking past Bug

This is due to a very specific headcanon that Herospeak (what i and The Besties™ call that little squeaky ass language that the Heroes do) is spoken in a VERY specific high pitch of voice and its natural to Heroes. (Non-Heroes CAN learn but it is it EXTREMELY hard and its also very hard to understand without the pitch that only Heroes can reach with their voice). Anyways- due to her connection just. Never Being There at first for a while, Bug did not know how to speak Herospeak at first. She also cant reach that pitch even with her connection being restored- so they have a VERY heavy accent when speaking in Herospeak causing her to need to repeat herself a lot

Back when ae was unmatured ae once pissed off Gold so bad he tried to put aer in the microwave

The closest comparison I can make for how I imagine her voice to sound like is the JubyPhonic cover of 'Yellow' and/or 'Lost One's Weeping'

and now. her links

CW: mentions of injury/coping with trauma, toxic past relationships (nothing detailed/indepth don't worry ). Mattie is my vent sona and what not.

Also @z-eddsworld hope yore up for a long read man, finally did a semi-decent ref of Mattie :)

Here is my mad lad Matthew. He is a character from an old au i grew extremely attached to. Though i discontinued the au because i couldnt be arsed to finish the story for it. I am repurposing some characters from the au tho :)!

Name: Matthew Raeburns

Nicknames: Mattie(prefers to be called this, will punch you otherwise), Gingie, Doll face, Matts, freckles, spot, bitch, Mattie-Beear(only by his partners)

Age: 29

Sexuality: Homosexual, demiromantic

Gender: Male/questioning

Pronouns: He/it

Height: 5'5/166cm

Body type: usually pudgy, can be drawn a little slim

Hair : red/deep ginger, very fluffy, curly and soft, cowlick is a must

So i repurposed Him into a kinsona/Oc earlier last year.

He does/will have visible scars in future art. But for his half finished doodle ref I'll probably redo in the future lmao.

He belongs in my and my friends @mrhappypills au

No mercy AU

Mattie is the middle child in his family.

He has an older brother named Fredrick aka Freddy/Fred

His younger sister has yet to be named.

Alfred is Matties father, and they loath eachother. Though now that Alfred is older, he is hoping to somehow through a miracle Reconnect with his son again. Though its fairly tough, as both Mattie and Alfred are hot-headed and fight everytime they see eachother. They both refuse family therapy lmao

Jacqueline is Matties deceased mother. More information will be posted as i redesign her and develope her character more ^^

He is Neurodivergent, he has trouble putting thought to pen, or thoughts to speech.

He is sensitive with what fabric he uses, he prefers soft or fluffy clothes, it calms his nerves. He bruises like a Peach, though he is clumsy so you'll see him with an ice pack or simply a glass of wine(or whiskey) .

In Matthews teenage years, He was edgy, as most teenagers are . Though he did get himself into a lot of fights because of boredom Atleast until he met his first love, A norse-american transfer student, and was very infatuated with him. They dated close to 5 years. Their break up was a nasty one, as Mattie had blinded Tjøstolv. They both started to get toxic towards eachother and often fought, often ending with both of them leaving the house for a night or two.

Tjøstolv had paid for a large part of his boyfriends schooling, he loved his boyfriend to bits and loved how cute his partner looked when he was focused on work. though being in the public eye often, he grew stressed, and tired, causing him to start fights. On another note, Tjø himself doesnt mind simple jobs, like doing IT work, it calms him.

Will post art of this wealthy rat man when i can for now take a screenshot eddit

'nother screenshot eddit. Tjø has heterochromia, eyepatch lad next to him is Delta, which belongs to @mrhappypills

Silly fun fact: matties flesh and blood is a vibrant Purple/fuchsia. No real reason on how that happened just thought it was funky and cool (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠)

Heads up, i know nothing really science-y, im taking inspiration from shows i love. As this takes place in a cartoon-y universe, logic definitely wont apply lmao

Mattie was quite the prodigy, and had finished his later years of secondary school, he'd gotten recommendations to some pretty snazzy universities. He studied different modes of transportation, will take apart your car for fun. Though he was dead set on one day to home explore other worlds, it definitely took a long time, but when he had completed his final safety trial, he had somehow ended up in the wild west, in spit-bucket america, seeing a nearly identical man to himself sitting at the bar, he couldnt believe his eyes. An old Timey version of himself and a handsome looking dude being flirty(screenshot eddit by me :) )

Mattie has travelled many worlds,though found himself stuck in one. Not because of technical issues, but a Man. One he's never seen in other worlds. A wealthy business man named William. Though Mattie worked on technology for william, he somehow with his skrunkly charm managed to seduce him. It took William a while to realize Mattie was flirting with him. They're a power couple now though :)

Screenshot eddit of Lucian>Mattie>William

Art of William and Mattie made by my pal orange,

Im so sorry lmao(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

I could definitely go on for hours about Mattie and his life, but I've written enough already (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) Anywho I hope y'all have a lovely day and a happy new year(⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+
