#oc appreciation

[cilil]

In this space we welcome and accept all sorts of OCs.

OCs who have existed for many years, with a proud and/or messy history to look back on

OCs who are new and fresh and/or still in development

OCs who were remade from a past version of themselves

OCs who were brought back after their creator deleted them in the past, out of shame, because of bullying or otherwise

OCs who may get never brought back by their creator, but still exist in their memory

The more-or-less-OC textual ghosts who were never fleshed out in canon and got adopted by different people as their own characters

OCs who were created for one specific purpose/story/situation and evolved from there or stayed that way

OCs who were made to be shipped with a canon character

OCs who were made to be shipped with other OCs

OCs who were made to be the child or relative of a canon character, regardless of canon indicating the existence of a textual ghost there or if the possibility was left open or not

OCs who are self-inserts or reflect particular personal experiences of their creator

OCs whose existence is not perfectly canon-compliant

OCs who have their own verses in which they exist

OCs who have different versions across verses, as canon characters do too

OCs who were brought in and adapted from other versions of themselves in different universes or franchises because they accompany their creator on their journeys

OCs.

I don't have to like or understand them (though don't get me wrong, I love a lot of my friends' OCs), you don't have to, the fandom doesn't have to; the only thing that matters is that their creator is having fun in their corner and that makes them valid enough💗

i think they have different ideas on what a good, refreshing hike is. maybe a little bit of both would be ideal? a little thing i've been working on last few days. throwing my hat in the ring in the last possible moment for @vesnaaa 's contest.

PLOTS IN PROGRESS — Hurricane Drunk, a Twisters Story. (Feat. Leah Berman)

“I do exist, don’t I? It often feels as if I am not here, that I’m a figment of my own imagination. There are days when I feel so lightly connected to the Earth that the threads that tether me to the planet are gossamer thin, spun sugar. A strong gust of wind could dislodge me completely, and I’d lift off and blow away, like one of those seeds in a dandelion clock.

We writers need to remember that the popular characters that millions of fans obsess and go feral over today were once "OCs that no one else gives a shit about but me."

Give your original creations a chance to find their audience.

[veoutsold]

This is a reminder to everyone before 2024 ends to post what makes you happy regardless if people see it as cringe or not.

Me as an OC creator who's dream has always been for people to love my OCs, it really brightens my day knowing that I've influenced and inspired other people into making their own OCs and posting them despite it being considered cringe.

Just remember that there will always be someone out there who likes your work, even if it's just one person.

12 DAYS OF GIFMAS / Day Two: A Story Idea You’ll Never Write: Pandora’s Box, a Tobias Eaton Fanfiction

YAEL VASSER WAS RAISED TO BE HONEST. And that she was, nearly to a fault. While she was content in her home faction of Candor, she would be lying if she said that she felt satisfied there (and, obviously, Candors don’t lie). As a young girl, Yael frequently asked the question “Why?” especially surrounding events that remain hazy from her childhood. Older now, she was in search of answers — and where better than Erudite, where knowledge is spread like wildfire?

However, Yael was taken by surprise when she discovered that Jeanine was planning on using Erudite’s abundance of knowledge to take control of the city, not liberate it. With the unexpected help of an annoyingly-reserved Dauntless with a number for a name, Yael finds herself finally finding the answers that she’s been searching for.

(And if you asked her, Yael would admit that the Number Guy isn’t that bad…)

Alright, I have drawn @nadinescholtes's OC Laia because I really like their design and they just seem like the most sweetest thing. And I feel like she and my OC would get along, who knows. Hope you enjoy!

[eustasskidsfattits]

One thing about me is I LOVE OCs. I think one of the best signs that a story’s world is well written is if people can find ways to imagine themselves in the story.

So I’m gonna keep reblogging those OCs. I don’t care if it’s a professionally commissioned piece or if it’s fanart by a 12 yo who puts their character’s hands in their pockets bc they don’t know how to draw them yet.

Submit your OP OCs to me! Tell me their devil fruit! Tell me what crew they wanna be on! Are they a marine???

Dude idk I just love people who love media like I do lol

Tbh I love other people’s ocs. This is an oc stan account, and an oc stan post.

I appreciate the strength and courage of conjuring up some fake person from the recesses of your mind and just throwing them to the wind and seeing if they’ll fly. They’re all ✨special little guys (and gals and theys)✨ who live in another realm- an imaginary, magical world somewhere between your imagination and your written words.
