💙 OC x OC 💙

let’s bring some fun vibes to the dash and get to know each other’s OCs a little better.

Please send an ask with a short description of your OC, and I’ll ship them with one of my OCs, and give a few HCs for their ship.

Alternatively, if I have an OC you think is a good fit with yours, please mention them in the ask!

This can be romantic or platonic, so please specify in your ask.

please feel free to reblog!

Some messy portraits 'cause I felt like playing around with how Cyrus' face/appearance changes over time. - Pre HB - Rebirth/Retribution - Revelations (early -- it's fine, he's fine) - Revelations (later? maybe? if he ever manages to pull up a little from the nose dive he's currently in, which is a big if, but i can dream)

I think some of you fail to realize how many BADASS PRESSURE DESIGNS we can get from the Europa Clipper. Literal space sea monsters. Are you hearing me.

Part 1 of a commission for @dragormir featuring Leeti (pronouns: May/Hem, purpose: chaos, pranks: legendary) and Clipper (tired, hardworking, single father of 3). They’ve got some background information over at @clipperandhisadike, along with Clipper’s other 2 disaster children.

starting that ref update grind

[cowboysuperhero]

this was meant to be just a quick doodle, but i ended up liking it a lot because it has a lot of fun character details (like charlie’s signature two-fingered point, the not-yet healed lightning scar, and the in-universe hockey team t-shirt) so i cleaned it up a bit for posting :) set about six years from canon ‘present day’ after charlie starts to recover from some really rough depression after a traumatic event, hence the fresh haircut.

youre going to orbit you stupid space probe

i often feel like i'm over-explaining when i write original fic but i've spent enough time trying to decipher old drafts where i was clearly trying to imply something and cannot for the life of me remember what that i've decided over-explaining in the first draft might be a good thing, actually

[flamebearrel]

If the floor is open, I’ve spent more than a little time pondering how I’d make an object show… Of course I don’t have the wherewithal or time for a commitment like that so I might as well share

I wanted to take the competition aspect and apply some world-building around it. Here, objectkind is split between your typical objects and celestials, who live out in space. The latter are hailed for their duty of collecting and distributing stardust: a life source for objects that animates them when sprinkled on them! To keep in contact they traditionally host an Olympics-style competition where the winner gets to pick the next generation’s “stardust day” as well as worldwide fame and fortune

There’s a preliminary contest to climb to the peak of a designated summit and meet the celestial host; anyone is free to join in, but only the first 15 (usually professional athletes) become official contestants. This particular run though, no host arrives and eventually the top 15 head back down to face the presses. It takes a full day for Comet to show up, because she… got lost… and the stragglers left behind become the new contestants of the Constellympics!

In short: Woefully unprepared host tries to run a professional competition with your average joes, all the while dealing with wacky hijinks and growing public outcry

Here’s a lineup of the main cast - feel free to shoot questions my way if any of them pique your curiosity

Ooh look it’s Wednesday again 👀

✨ WIP Wednesday CSI: Coruscant Edition✨

tw: unnamed minor character death, convo at the medical examiner’s office

a/n: once again I bring you a snippet from a fic I’m not even supposed to be writing but here we go!

“Hey,” Clipper said, meeting your eyes over the table. “Do I need to get Voodoo in here instead?”

“No,” you replied defensively, fighting down the wave of nausea that threatened to send you running from the room.

There were a dozen different things you could have been doing instead. Each one more pleasant by multiple orders of magnitude. But this? Despite the way it churned your stomach, there was nothing more important.

“I won’t think less of you,” Clipper offered quietly, as though he would be the one on the slab if anyone heard him.

“It’s not that,” you muttered. “I owe him this much, yeah?”

“No. Not at all,” he argued. “This isn’t your fault. You didn’t make it happen, and you couldn’t have prevented it.”

npt: @corvod @jedi-hawkins @eyeluvmusic21 @clonemedickix @wolffegirlsunite @deejadabbles @starqueensthings @dystopicjumpsuit @eternal-transcience and anyone else who’d like to give a lil sneak peek of what they’re working on ❤️🤍

The thing about having marin as a little sister is that when she takes the claw clippers, she never gives them back, making me have to go into her Xerneas damn room, and I don't want to do that man! Its like its fall in there in the worst way possible

[daftpatience]

he would if he didn't bite them!

i make an oc and then i make him shorter and fatter until he gets to me size and then im satisfied

[gyeomsweetgyeom]

hii! can you write a dad! jaehyun au of oc and their kids playing with jaehyun and his big ass bobble head of hair before he has to cut it off before he enlists 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️

"big ass bobble head" 😭😭😭

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Jaehyun felt his head being tugged in three different directions in all different levels of strength. You were being gentle behind him, soft fingers pulling pieces of hair into small ponytails all over his head.

His daughter was on his right side putting bows and barrettes that snapped against his skull roughly. His daughter had already forced him into one of her dress up, princess dresses, which he had unfortunately heard a multitude of seams rip and pop, but she insisted.

His son was seated on his lap, laughing and babbling while he grabbed at Jaehyun's hair and just pulled as hard as he could. If this were a few weeks ago, he would have stopped the toddler's hands from pulling on his already weak hair, but it wasn't a few weeks ago.

At this point it was just days away from his enlistment and he was soaking up all the family time he could get. If his kids wanted him to dress up as a princess and have fast food for every meal, he'd be happy to do it. Anything to make this transition for them easier, make the transition for him easier.

After a few minutes, his hair had all been gathered up and now he and his family were all in the bathroom. You had a pair hair clippers in your hand, a sad smile on your face as you grabbed one of the small bundled chunks of hair in your free hand.

You turned to your daughter who was excitedly wiggling in her spot on a kitchen chair, "I'll show you how to do it, and then you get your turn, ok?"

She nods, watching intently as the clippers buzz to life and begin to cut at the small ponytail of hair beneath the hair elastic. The small bundle of hair fell into his lap and his son grabbed at it with curiosity. Jaehyun laughed heartily as his son held the hair to his own head like he had just seen on his dad's head.

In an hour, Jaehyun had gone from a head full of bleach blond hair to a choppy blond buzz cut. Tomorrow he had an early appointment to get it fixed and dyed anyway.

His daughter wowed in amazement, "Appa, you look so different!"

You placed your hands on his shoulders and leaned in to press a kiss to his cheek, "you look handsome, honey."

Jaehyun tried to keep the mood light, refusing to focus on the thickness in your voice as he ran his hands over his short hair, "My head has never looked bigger."

The boy on his lap clapped, babbling nonsense until you all clearly heard, "big head!"

You all burst into laughter as his daughter also climbed into his lap and squeezed him in close for a hug, "I like your big head, Appa."

You and Jaehyun laugh as you both inconspicuously wipe and blink away tears respectively, "thank you, princess."

about your disability pride month post: is there anything important/significant you think people should take notes on when writing a character with an upper arm prosthetic? (like starting from the elbow if i phrased correctly)?

Yeah! I think the biggest is that you ought to consider first, esp if its an OC, your reasoning for making the character disabled- you wanna make sure you're not fetishizing or exploiting their disability to prop up abled characters. I've got a list of questions for authors to ask themselves along those lines that I can post or dm

Secondly, you have to consider what level of realism you wanna go with. If you have a character where, in universe, the prosthesis functions in exactly the way an arm does, you could just go with that if you want - it's the path of least resistance, right? BUT you ought to consider that most prostheses in media exist in that way AT THE EXPENSE of good representation of disability. Erasing disability or "curing" it with magical prostheses IS a form of ableism that is so pervasive it just goes unnoticed by most. I believe personally that disabled bodies are worth portraying well even when the creators of the source material did not do that. SO if you want to go with real well thought our representation, here are some common things I think authors and artists often miss (specifically as it pertains to upper limb prostheses):

1) I already said this, but seriously, I cannot emphasize enough that upper limb prosthetics ain't cheap and are usually uncomfortable. Your character, if they are poor, or even like middle class, won't have access to multiple high tech popular mechanics cover story type robo arms. Even if they did ...

2) Not all limb different folks use prosthetics! I personally have used multiple and I disliked them. I tried very hard to learn, but there are multiple requirements to be able to use each model and sometimes, a lot of times actually, limb different people - especially people without a hand or an arm function Better without prosthetics. Be aware in your art that limb different people are Whole. How you ask can somebody without an arm, say, do all that stuff?

3) Consider the idea of adaptation in your writing and art instead of relying only on magicking disability away with prosthetics. Disabled People live in a world full of barriers and tend to be Very creative about navigating it, adapting to our environment through just being a little clever about how we do things is the biggest way i see other people with upper limb differences interact with the world. There are three main ways that we go about this without prosthetics: Using adaptive equipment, Finding an alternate method, or as a last resort, asking for help.

Example 1: I have like 1.5 arms ok so obviously only 1 hand, and I need to clip my fingernails every once in a while. The obvious solution to me, while it may seem gross, is just to bite them off. Bad habit, but efficient. I could use those horrible little nail clippers, with my remaining stump and a little finagling but it takes forever. I could also get some adaptive nail clippers - they make great big handled ones for ppl that can't grab the little ones. Or, I could ask my partner to trim them, but I'm usually too proud to do that. Let disabled people have their flaws too lol!

Example 2: I love to rock climb. This is where adaptive equipment comes in. I could slip off a rock climbing wall pretty easily right? So bouldering (rock climbing without harnesses) is totally inaccessible to me. But if I go to a gym that has harnesses, then that's fine - they catch me if I fall and that's adaptive for me.

Adaptive equipment comes in many shapes and sizes and can be regular items repurposed.

3. If after all that you Must create art or write about an OC or preexisting character that uses upper limb prosthetics, consider that in general, limb different people's prosthetics are not equivalent to having two arms. Prosthetics are only practical for limb different people if they enhance your life or are useful in some way, however, getting one high tech enough to do that is unlikely because they are expensive. There are different groups, clinics, and charities that make lower cost options but they tend to be much lower tech than is depicted (and often are clunky). My first prosthetic was a long flat piece of metal, similar to a doctors tongue depressor, attached to a plaster cuff velcroed around my stump. The idea was that since I had a little bit of stump poking out, I could pin objects against the metal and it would work like a crab's pincers. It was okay, but I did accidentally smack many. Many. Things with it, including my own face and since it was metal, that was unpleasant. Obviously hindered more than helped. Also it did not look even remotely like a hand.

4. Which prosthetics you can get generally depend on what you got on you. Literally. Bodily. With upper limb prostheses, If you don't have an elbow or wrist, your options are almost exclusively limited to the pricier electric options that are both super futuristic, unavailable to many, and also like new car priced. Many of the manual, non-electric models depend on the ability to flex a wrist or elbow, so if you have those things are a little more accessible overall. It also matters whether you are born limb different like me, or if you are an amputee. Amputees are more likely to be candidates for prostheses than people like me because they have all those preexisting muscles and nerves for prosthetics that are higher tech and require surgical attachment Also prosthetics might be an easier learning curve, and more useful for somebody who has been abled bodied than it would be for somebody who never had that limb in the first place.

5. This is a little thing and ... Not to get too medical with it ( and neither should yall) but limb different people often have physical changes associated with lack of or loss of limb. If you do not have a limb, you are not going to be developing the muscles that are surrounding it in the way an a nondisabled person would. Again for example I have 1.5ish arms which means I've got plenty of stump on my "affected" limb. Even when I did Varsity sports and everything, I was never able to get beefy on that side. It is a pet peeve of mine that many people do not seem to get this - Most art I see of vash the stampede has him with two super beefy shoulders and like yeah i get it that's hot, but if hes got roughly the same amount of stump as me, he probably shouldn'tlook like that. Another thing in this vein is chronic pain is associated with limb loss and limb difference- I have it and its reasonable that any prosthetic user or nonprosthetic using limb different person is more likely to have it. Again these are little things but if you're looking to do good representation you need to consider that limb difference is not just a cool little stylistic choice to make a character look tough or what have you - limb loss and limb difference mean that that character will not only think differently than abled bodied people, but move differently, pose differently, have different routines and preferences than are ever represented in most media. Disability is not a style, and it's not a diagnosis, it's an identity. It's important above all to be respectful of that by letting go of centering able-bodied expectations and aesthetic in your art and writing. Hard to do but i believe in y'all!

Hope that helps! I've also got a bunch of links to go along with these points, if you want them lmk! I'm always happy to take asks about this stuff!

Tl;dr please consider making characters that don't use prosthetics, or don't use them excessively because it's more realistic, better representation, and makes me, a disabled dyke on the internet, really happy.

Lastly if y'all liked my advice and appreciate my time you are always welcome to tip me for it - my c*sh*pp is $neptunedrive
