LITERALLY THO-

⚠️TW⚠️: Big (but also very important) Text

I FULLY AGREE WITH THIS MEME, THIS IS LITERALLY MY ENTIRE BLOG!😅

And I have explanations for why they are ““similar”” to me:

Mel Creator has the same personality type/likes-tastes as me and I also have ALMOST the same clothes as him irl. The only thing that changes is that he is an adult, his sexuality, gender and a bit of his appearance, but the rest is literally me (that's why I use him a lot to answer asks).

And Mel-Loly is literally me in my dreams, like- I made him based on what I wanted to be (if possible): with strong self-esteem (KINDA) always, don't blame himself so much and know how to act rationally, good leadership, able to “put things in place” even when everything is going all wrong, being tall, having a beautiful marriage, a son/daughter, lots of scars, wings, and yeah.. He is literally “me” of my dreams.

And certainly, if I (Melissa, Mel Designer) died(like, being very serious), they both would go with me too.. Because the characters are literally based on how I feel, live, my dreams, events, and literally everything, is based on me(especially Mel Creator). So much so that both of them were once “me”, like at the beginning of the blog, Mel-Loly was me, until a while ago I changed to Mel Creator(that's why the "Creator" at the end of the name, because it was supposed to be called me/Melissa, the creator of the blog, but now I'm just the designer, he's the one who "commands" the rest), and now I draw myself based on reality, and not on something “fictional”.

This is also one of the reasons why I revealed my real name, because I saw that there were already two characters with the name “Mel”, and so as not to confuse people even more, I decided to reveal it, because this way, it's a little easier to “differentiate”. Obviously, like I said, they are literally based on me, so it would be REALLY HARD to tell who is who if it weren't for their appearance(that, in fact, I changed Mel Creator in terms of “color” because of that too, because of the confusion it was causing of the names and etc, but mainly because I really like dark-skinned characters and, yeah..😅) and some name changes, and even with these differences, there are still confusions, so I kind of came to a conclusion that.. I don't care anymore if you guys confuse me with them, or if you think we're the same, because I understand you, and I also find it funny the idea of you thinking that, like- like this meme, It's funny to me that people think this, that we are the same/the same person just in different universes, because on one hand, it's a "half" fact, so.. Yeah-

Thank you, Tsu, for the meme and the ask, I thought it was good that you did this because it gave me an opening to talk about this subject and let you guys now know that this meme is “half” a fact and I'm fine with people calling (or just joking) me, Mel Creator and Mel-Loly the same person :] because before I had problems and even got irritated by it, but today I really don't care anymore, and like, I even like it and think the idea is funny/cool! So much so that I'm going to make an art of myself with them to post ^^💛

Thanks again for the ask/meme and hope you...

I found out how to do fake tweets I'm gonna have so much fun with this

[astraldoesart]

🙈, 🙊, 🙉, and 🌱 for Lucien, Zakai, and the Reitz siblings plz? Sorry if thats too much haha

That's not too much! Just gotta figure a way to get this all down! And because this is gonna be loooong lets put this under a cut!

🙈 SEE-NO-EVIL - whats a side of your oc that they don't want to show other people?

Zakai doesn't want anyone to see her as emotional. She's scared of people leaving her or hurting her again, she wants to avoid that so she doesn't really let anyone see that. See her vulnerable and sad and guilty. Anger, for her, is more okay for others to see but mostly she tries her best to be cold and logical. Which is not her default.

Lucien mostly isn't one who hides a lot, what you see is what you get. Mostly. Lucien tends to hide his feelings of inferiority, fear, jealousy, and guilt behind this mask of "I'm a Tybur so I'm better than everyone". He's not really one who apologizes either, much to Zakai's chagrin.

Valentina hides a lot behind flirting and attention from romantic partners. Valentina has abandonment issues, after all, made worse by Zakai leaving. So. She dates around, it never goes past a 3rd date at most. And thats if the person is lucky, really. She's cold and detached because she doesn't want anyone to leave. Valentina is just scared of being left alone, of having to step up again and again. Of being in charge of everyone else.

Melissa doesn't want anyone to consider her insecure or unattractive, she wants attention and she wants to be loved. Thats all. The idea that she's unlovable is a fear so strong it can cripple her. Dear god she just needs a nice woman to show her that she's so loved and so pretty.

Selina doesn't want anyone to see her as afraid, very specifically. Selina got used to being strong for Melissa and Soren, much like Zakai and Valentina, so the idea of being scared just feels like disappointing those shes most protective over.

Soren wants everyone to be happy and he appreciates how everyone in the family is particularly worried for him. However, hes scared. He's scared that those within the family are breaking down and apart and it terrifies him more than any Marleyan's judgement. He wants his family safe and happy.

🙊 SPEAK-NO-EVIL - what is something your oc will refuse to stay quiet about?

There isn't anything particularly that Zakai is vocal about, shes a rather quiet person.

Lucien will not shut up about being a Tybur. Again, uses that fact as a safety blanket/mask and also to convince himself that him being born wasn't a mistake like his father insists.

Valentina, like Zakai, isn't vocal about a whole lot. Shes pretty reserved and quiet most of the time.

Melissa is very, very vocal about how cool Selina is. How pretty and talented she is. Melissa is Selina's own cheering squad. Much to Selina's annoyance (but also Selina loves Melissa for her, cheering squad included).

Selina is only vocal about the fact that if you target her family, you best run. She is willing to beat the absolute shit out of anyone who hurt her family. Mostly, though, she will match whatever the person did except tenfold. Someone insulted Melissa? Selina gonna make em cry.

Soren is vocal about becoming a Warrior, following Zakai's footsteps and being "just like her". Well, until he gets the Paradis (s4) experience that is. Then he's vocal about that if everyone just keeps killing each other, what will be left?

🙉 HEAR-NO-EVIL - what is the worse thing your oc could hear from someone?

For Zakai, the worst thing would be that she's the black sheep of her family. The outcast, the only one who doesn't belong. She feels it so strongly and, once upon a time, someone did tell her that. Valentina did, in fact.

The worst thing anyone could say to Lucien is that he is a mistake, that he should've never been born and that all he's ever done to hurt everyone around him. Especially after Willy dies.

For Valentina, its gotta be someone saying goodbye again. Especially when theres a chance they'll die. Oh. Wait. S4 Zakai >:)

Melissa's would be to tell her that no one will ever love her because all she does is fail. Which. No one tell this poor soul. She's just a babygirl :(

Selina on the other hand? Failing to protect her family. She just wants to protect them so anyone telling her she failed that? Oof poor sweetheart.

For Soren, the worst thing one could say is no doubt related to Zakai. His worst fear is failing her so. That. But also he's babey too so don't do that.

🌱 SEEDLING - what is their most vivid memory from childhood?

Zakai remembers two things most vividly. The memory where Lucien betrayed her, implying that he'd tell Marley that she was a traitor. She didn't even think, just begged him not to. Think Scar and Simba. Zakai ended up running, just like Lucien wanted. The other memory is one with Valentina, where she betrayed Zakai. Valentina had slammed Zakai against the wall, actually punched Zakai too. Told her, basically, to "go die for Marley then".

Lucien's most vivid of memories is probably the one where he met Damien and was taken in by the Tyburs, taken away from his mom at only 6 years old. For Lucien, he never thought that it was too much. After all, he doesn't have a good relationship with Adele (despite her attempts).

Selina and Melissa's most vivid memory is the same memory, suiting for a set of Twins, eh? It was the day Zeke came back, having just gotten his titan alongside his rank. He had to explain to the family that Zakai was "sent on a mission early". Selina had shut down while Melissa ran to Valentina, sobbing and crying about wanting Zakai back. It was a painful day for the entire family.

Soren's memory was of Zakai. Of how kind and friendly she was, having just taken a break in her training and teaching him the very same things that he saw Adele teaching her. It was what motivated Soren to be a Warrior the second he could. Years later, he started to train for the Aberrant Titan.

I've been meaning to introduce one of my Storybots ocs that I've had for a while but here we go. Let me introduce you to...

Melissa Malware

She's a totally normal storybot who is definitely not a shapeshifting virus who has alterative motives for taking over the computer world! :D

Melissa is inspired by the Melissa and I LOVE YOU computer viruses, influencing both her name and theme of spreading love worldwide. In an alternate universe called the LoveBug AU, she launches a campaign called "Project I LOVE YOU", encouraging StoryBots to express love in various forms, aiming to boost mental well-being and promote world peace. She also advocates for self-care, which leads people to work less and less, eventually creating a job crisis in the computer world.

However, Melissa's true intent is to infect others, causing them to slack off from work, which in turn slows down real-world computers, much like a virus. As her followers idolize her, they unknowingly spread her influence, infecting others with the same behavior.

Melissa's origins lie in a more abstract form sent into the internet by her creator. Her mission was to oversee a planted computer worm and ensure its success without interference, remaining in the shadows. However, her plan was unexpectedly derailed when a young Bang, wandering in the internet department while accompanying his father, mistook the worm for a colorful gummy and ate it.

Enraged and shocked, Melissa's task was ruined, forcing her to shift focus and watch over Bang as he grew up, tracking the effects of the worm on him. Over the years, she observed his growing forgetfulness and other changes (I'll make a future post about this and my theory in more detail) as she remained in the shadows. During this time, Melissa herself evolved. Watching storybots and their society, she became curious about life beyond her virus role. She gradually changed her appearance to resemble a storybot and secretly longed for a life where she wasn’t bound to a pre-programmed destructive endgame.

As she grew fond of the attention and adoration from those who saw her as one of them rather than a virus, Melissa tried to prolong her influence and delay her inevitable mission of ruining the computer world, torn between fulfilling her creator’s purpose and finding belonging among storybot society.

When Bang becomes an adult and the computer worm fully integrates with his programming, Melissa is devastated to discover that the worm is now inseparable from Bang, and removing it would kill it. This ruins her original plan, forcing her to adapt. Instead of separating the worm, she decides to use Bang to spread the infection.

Melissa presents herself as a sweet, humble activist and invites Bang to join her "Project I LOVE YOU," using his recognizable and beloved status in the community to help promote her cause. Behind her friendly demeanor, however, Melissa despises Bang, seeing him as a foolish and undeserving figure who, for some reason, is adored by everyone. Despite her loathing, she plays the role of a supportive ally, manipulating him into unknowingly aiding her true goal, while he remains completely oblivious to her hatred and intentions.

So in a nutshell, Bang has no enemies... except for one which is Melissa because she hates his guts LMAO. But yeah that's the LoveBug AU basically. There's more to it but that's for another time.

One important thing about Melissa is that her and Milo (@supgoddo's oc) are in true real love and are perfect for each other YIPPIEE GRRR I LOVE THEM SM

Anyways that's it for now for Melissa! Just wanted to introduce her character and stuff. Live laugh love Melissa <3

[murcielagatito]

regardless of any personal feelings I have have about the cast (I think getting too invested in the actors is cursed but Idk), what sucks is I feel like sm Melissa/W*rk W*ves stans don’t give a fuck about Barbara outside of the ship. on the other hand, Barbara is so nuanced but WW has totally overshadowed her individual character and Barbara is objectively much more multifaceted. and don’t get me started on how ao3 is flooded with inaccurate tags…getting excited seeing new Janine content or something but it’s a WW or Melissa/OC one-shot that she’s not even in :/ because why is Melissa/OC and Melissa/any other female more popular than Ava/Janine? I don’t want to sound like a bitter shipper but it makes no sense to me at all, they’re grasping at straws

it makes no sense!! theyre soooo obsessed with some sort of version of barbara that doesnt love gerald when we see and hear how fondly and sweetly barbara talks about gerald and how much she loves him.... like yeah just toss away her entire canonical characterization and flatten her down so that she can be obsessed with a white woman. and i used to like workwives i really did! ive written fic and drawn art of them and included them in my avanine fic but i literally have soured to the ship because of the obsession with melissa. one would think melissa was the main character of abbott elementary by looking at the tags

no bc WHY is she more popular than ava/janine when there is so much more evidence going for them???? their chemistry is off the charts!!!

Some of my minecraft villager ocs for my Minecraft Elysium story

Asra is a wandering trader turned resident cartographer, he travels with Warda alot and acts as a guide.

Sometimes Fern the Fletcher comes along with them.

Amaranth is an illager who surrendered after Warda keeps beating him during raids - he now works as a lumberjack and would sometimes accompany Warda when she travels

Miller, Ambrosia and Barric are farmers

Poppy is a librarian, Marlow is a fisherman, Bjork the butcher, Honeybell the Beekeeper, Magnolia the leatherworker, and Hazel the shepherd.

There's still a few more including the kids and this is just the ones from Briar Hollows...

I changed Melissa name to Honeybell

What are some voice headcanons for your OCs?

-👾💛

Thank you sm for this question!! It's something I thought about and considered a while ago but never came back to, because, well... it's really hard! Haha

Right now I only have voice hcs for Chip and CV. Teddy's such a shame since he's literally a little singing star, but I guess that's a lot of pressure in choice.

For Chip I've considered:

Happy ENA, her speaking mannerisms although not necessarily medieval feel similar to what I have in mind for Chip. It's also usually a nice masc voice with a bit of a certain twang to it that makes it the perfect level of "gender" for them, lmao.

Lynn Ferguson's Mac from Chicken Run. Sometimes I hear Chip's voice with a scottish accent, and I love Mac's pitch for them. When I was young I thought Mac was a boy. She's very soft-spoken as well and mostly calm.

Casey Mongillo's Nene Onemine from Komi Can't Communicate. Casey is nonbinary! And has a very soothing voice, imo, especially in this role. When act out excitement or fury, it can be kind of strained, which feels fitting. Nene also has cute freckles like Chip :3

Overall, Chip's voice is androgynous in every single way in my mind :P It sounds masc, it sounds fem, it sounds Medieval English, Scottish, maybe Puerto Rican, soft, firm... Ugh.

For CV I've considered:

Arleen Sorkin's Harley Quinn. And I know what you're thinking, even at that pitch it's a pretty older-sounding voice for someone like CV. And lmao, you're right, but the accent and squeak are just too perfect for her. She is supposed to be related to Lucky, after all.

Dot Warner, specifically in season 3-5 of the original Animaniacs. Not too pitch-shifted but just enough to make her sound like a child. Dot's sass is perfect for CV, completely full of herself.

Jodie Resther's Francine Frensky Or Melissa Altro's Muffy Crosswire from Arthur. It's the best... the worst? Of both worlds. I LOVE these two, but ik some people can hate them to their very core. Very CV. Francine would be perfect for CV's mannerisms, but Muffy just... sounds more like what I have in mind for her. Squeaky.

Kether Donohue's Kiki/Pudding from Mew Mew Power. I wasn't happy with my indecisiveness with Francine and Muffy, and tbh all three of these voices I thought of just for this Q! Then I ran into this old anime I use to love, haha. Pudding is probably perfect for CV; she's a performer, she has the accent[?], the mannerisms, the squeakiness!!

Overall, CV is a brooklyn/new york accented street urchin with a lot of attitude and squeakiness. Probably a voice that you either love or you hate, as decisive as her personality.

I'll link/post some clips below of each voice. c:

Chip's

Happy Ena Comp:

Lynn Ferguson's Mac from Chicken Run [hen with glasses]

Casey Mongillo's Nene

CV's

Arleen Sorkin's Harley Quinn [I feel like most of us know what she sounds like, so I just grabbed a mega compilation to refresh everyone's memory]

Dot Warner [If it timestamp doesn't work, it should be 2:13]

Not sure if I need to add videos of Francine or Muffy but here are a couple links

What Spider Socorro Fic is Melissa Falling Asleep Thinking About? Episode 3:

Today we have another banger I have mentioned before, but last chapter ended on a cliff hanger so it’s living with me far into the night; it’s 12:26am and I have work tomorrow. So let’s talk about Nísoaia by @dinas-bracelet . Listen I’m trying to live my day to day life reading my little Spider fics regardless of my normal fanfic quality standards. But this one not only gaslit me by tricking me into thinking I was just reading a fun little Jeytiri fic and then springing Spider adopted as a baby into the family on me like a dark villain, but I am obsessed with the little moments lingered on in this fic. This fic is mainly Jeytiri but it’s so good guys okay. Most post Avatar (2009) ones I’ve read have skimmed through stuff, but the focus on rebuilding, Jake and Neytiri’s deep bond and the struggles they’re going through, and the kids being so small and so cute means so much to meeee. I am deeply obsessed with all side ocs and Jake having Omaticaya friends and people to hang with, and I cry a little every time baby Neteyam and Spider are having their baby talk conversations that’s just not real words but they’re both like yes of course go on. I just love them sm, let Spider be Neteyam’s older sibling buddy and take some of his burden 2023. I adore the moment with the elder Na’vi women as such foreboding amongst the happiness, and I’m obsessed with any fic that gives me any Mo’at at all but especially Mo’at and Spider. Anyways this is getting long! But I need the next chapter I need to know what happens!! I will die at Jake and Neytiri making Jake’s songcord!! As well!!!

Fair warning there is smut in this fic, if that is not ur taste :)

[legendclananimation]

Hi Vee! Just wanted to tell your art is very cool and underrated, it should be more considered! 🤌🔆

I was wondering... if you take suggestions ofc... could you try Lester Papadopoulos from Trials of Apollo? I mean, you're not forced to, just know this character is very unique haha

I hope you're having a good day or night 🔆🌙

(Oh and, if you have a mha oc too... :))

TYSM AAGHFFHSHSV also I drew Luther papo- I give up on the name lol. And yes I do have a MHA OC. Her name is kisei todoroki (shotos twin) here's a drawing of her, her girlfriend (Melissa shield from one of the MHA movies I love her sm) and kiseis pet fox (cos I'm extra) kuni.

[melissa-s23]

AWWWWWWW I just got sooooo nostalgic, I haven’t seen a Meet the Artist post in so so long wowowow this made me so happy!!

I love that self illustration of you sm the pose it just perfect🤭 and your coloring is beautiful

Ughhhh I miss those little in the bag illustrations, it’s such a cute way to look into someone’s life! “Platonic love for days” literally preach girlie 😩🙌

Is Brooklyn a song or are you Brooklyn based? Well what if I wanna hear about your 15 different story ideas and your 200+ ocs?!? What then?!? Your real name not being Melissa is such a plot twist 😵‍💫 you fooled us all.

I will still call you miss mel though…

wow this really took me back, I dug up my old meet the artist and just stared at it. I wasn’t in higher education yet (I think?) when I participated in the trend but I remembered being really proud of it, hope yours gives you the same weird feeling of accomplishment mine does in the distant future😭 looking at old art is always the best ego boost imo 🤪

-ghost anon

HEEYYY Glad you like it so much :'D

I'm so fucking happy with the drawing, it feels so me and bright and bubbly I like it so much

I looked at so much meet the artist memes to get the vibes right LMAOOO

The song is called Brooklyn by Youngblood Brassband, but since lettering is not my strongsuit I could not make it fit in the space without it looking weird, X) As for my ocs, WELL IF YOU WANNA HEAR ABOUT THEM, YOU CAN DANG WELL ASK ABOUT THEM HEH! HOWS THAT? (nah joke aside I rarely talk about them cuz no one on tumblr is interested. Ive tried posting a few times and it got 3 notes max so yeah lmao)

Such a plot twist indeed! If that reassure you, I love Mel as a nickname :]

aww hahah, thanks! let's hope so for sure ^^

[bleppersfinchat]

BROOOO

I GET TI BRAINROT ABOUT MY OCS AND NOBODY CAN SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE ITS MY BIRTHDAY MUAHAHAHA I AM THE BIRTHDAY BOY NOW!!!

Quincy James: Captain of the Stone, ex-stoner, accidentally adopted his entire crew. He defected from the military for how his superiors treated his crew, taking the Stone (and his adopted children) with him. They are legally considered fugitives but nobody actually pursues them.

Kelsey King: A part of an alien race that takes on animal traits. They are a cat. And they are the ships doctor! Very sarcastic, and easily tired. Will state and explain boundaries, the military did not like that.

Alexander Sanders: Same alien race as Kelsey, but he is a cow. joined the millitary fresh outta high school to try to get college paid for, as well as to try to get gender affirming care. Unfortunately he was not given gender affirming care until he was stationed on the Stone as the Navigations Officer. Very anxious, and will cry if you touch his equipment. Supposedly Quincy's favorite kid.

Feather: Bird lady, local comms officer. Incredibly sheltered growing up, and also neglected. Very extroverted and easily excitable.

Melissa Quinn: Weapons Officer. Developed POTS after a traumatic head injury, is also autistic. Will take out your knees with a crutch 0 hesitation. Ambulatory wheelchair user. Sent to the Stone due to the POTS, stayed because nobody was an ableist jerk.

Mara: elf lady. Assassin and secind in command to Quincy. Heavily modified her uniform, and command sent her to the Stone for disciplinary infractions.

Lisa: a kid they picked up during accidental time travel. Lost a leg due to infection, and uses a prosthetic. One of the major incidents leading to the Stone defecting.

Thats really all of them. I love them sm and they're my lil scrunkles ajsbsvnsbsjdjsb
