hm. percy outfit explorations

[infini-tree]

will i ever give percy a proper introduction post? debatable

(dialogue based on this set of text messages)

[infini-tree]

🎉 for Percy please!

outfit ask meme - 🎉- festive/holiday gathering (specify holiday)

pi day counts as a holiday, right??

[infini-tree]

me: maybe i should draw a kipper and percy interaction....? i want to draw the designs again

brain: best i got is no-context doodles of them vaguely standing next to each other

[infini-tree]

once again revisiting percy (aka the scepsel adopted fankid) and his design 😔 i'm never satisfied with their wardrobe that's Vaguely 90's but i think its fine he can have a rotating wardrobe lol

OC-tober 2023 week 6 | day 31: costume

and here's percy! aka the scepsel fankid that said ship fostered/adopted that i made up whenever i'm in a fankid mood. the local dinosaur kid, but right now dressed as Legally Distinct Mouse Scientist Before Turning Evil

(and a bonus biamile since it is his birthday, feat. towe, his current partner post-divorce)

[infini-tree]

ppu percy concept: instead of the dinosaur interest, he’s into the future (specifically retrofuturism). would have loved meet the robinsons and related too hard to the main character. leans a little more to ppu!selainius

🪤🎒🕐

you can choose which OC(s) for each :)

yet another oc ask game

stares. why can't i see the emojis on desktop??? in any case, i've decided this is about percy now.

🪨 someone gifts your OC a shiny rock. What do they do with it?

it depends who it is i think. a complete stranger? he'll just give a polite nod and quietly place it somewhere else once they're out of sight. honestly, he'd be a bit suspicious about it if it was a stranger. piqua's weird, and sometimes its the kind of weird that leads to maybe getting hurt.

if its like someone they know, they're more likely to say thanks and keep it on his shelf. if its a peer (eg. kipper) he'd make a small joke about it and escalate the bit.

🌳 would your OC survive for a week on their own in the wilderness?

he says he can. he cannot. being in the foster system doesn't really give him the opportunity to do things like camp.

at least this at least gives him and selainius something to commiserate over. they can be so bad in wilderness situations together.

🥞 does your OC take proper care of themselves, like getting enough sleep and eating properly?

percy breaks the insomniac curse this household has, thank goodness. he is at least the most normal out of all of them, where he just stays up for one-off reasons sometimes (like wanting to sneak down into the living room to watch a movie at midnight) but sleeps regularly every other time. they're a light sleeper, but if given the opportunity they will just zonk out until noon.

similarly, percy sits in the middle between sception and selainius' eating habits. he is not too picky when it comes to food/what's the 'appropriate' food (eg. eating breakfast food whenever) and he can eat a lot.

🪤 what is one thing that could be used to lure your OC into a trap?

merchandise of a dinosaur that wasn't popular in the post-jurassic park zeitgeist, lol.

🎒 if your OC had to pick three things of all their belongings to keep, which would they chose?

stares at how percy and sception first met...

wallet, phone, and something sentimental from the first time him, sception, and selainius got for him to decorate his room. i was going to say the blahaj-esque dinosaur plush they got from said experience, but percy is a bit more practical than that.

it'd be awfully tempting, though.

🕐 was there ever a time your OC would have given everything to turn back the clock 5 minutes? what happened?

outside of the standard teenage anxiety of committing a minor social faux pas, there was a period of time after Officially being taken in by sception and selainius that they'd just take percy back, so he got anxious about how to act.

i think it did kind of escalate to percy stressing about it so bad that it led to an emotional outburst and they had to talk about it.

[infini-tree]

because i was reminded about the specific percy scenario i had in my head after offhandedly mentioning he'd sneak into the living room to watch a midnight showing for a movie he wanted to watch:

just imagine percy pretending to sleep and biding their time until, like. midnight. idk what the movie would be, but i imagine it to be something he missed out on when it was in theatres.

so he sneaks out and tries to listen for any noises. and right when he passes by the kitchen he hears a loud 'AHEM'.

cue selainius sitting in the dark of the kitchen. so naturally she grills them on why they're up-- even guessing that percy wanted to sneak out. to which percy would incredulously reply "IN PAJAMAS?". and he'd grill back what she's doing up in the dark with espresso??

mid-grilling, the both of them hear the sound of the lawnmower starting. they make their way outside and see sception mowing the lawn. cue an exasperated selainius trying to pry sception back inside again, and percy is internally like: again?? 🤨

so really, by the end of it percy just sheepishly mentions they just wanted to watch a movie. and they all just sit in the living room to watch it because 2/3s of them are insomniac on some level and are too tired to really try pulling the Parent Card. (it'd be kind of hard to really do it now after seeing them like That lol)

(scepsel ends up sleeping by the middle of it lol. percy awkwardly puts a pillow near their heads before he heads back to bed.)

[infini-tree]

that one you are my dad vine but its the oc’s

[infini-tree]

i’ve literally been hashing percy’s design out all day (+ late last night) and i think i’m at a place where i’m good with it

ft. the process work ✌

[infini-tree]

“mells why did you include that asterisk” because i felt like someone was going to jump to the darkest conclusion THATS WHY

anyway i can have an oc fankid for my own oc ship. as a treat. im fiddling around w his concept for a while and i just think they’re neat

[infini-tree]

me: they probably wouldn’t have kids

also me: they would get into a found family-esque situation via Indeterminate Shenanigans and somehow adopt a kid

anyway, here’s percy, local dinosaur enjoyer
