[hypnag0g]

started a new job so the quality of my dailies from here on out might drop in quality. today i was playing around with revamping Esther, one of my older Nowhere ocs. shes always been a krawk/wyrm but ive fallen out of love with all of Westbound's principal cast being scalies. heres the last piece i did of her, circa like. 2020

i tend to get like.... antsy whenever i stop drawing an oc, but keep thinking about them. to me that always signals that their design has stopped being fun to draw. clare suggested i revamp her into an american badger and i sorta ran with it. might come back to this project with a few more ideas tomorrow, but i am kinda vibing with the concept.

BEACH DAAAY!!

--OCs from Left to Right Smiles - They/Xem Dallas - She/He Esther - He/She/They

[canridauis]

new ref of esther bc the old turnaround i had for her was SOOO ugly. but this isn't reallly a turnaround because it only has her front and back view because i simply did not want to draw any more angles.

id: a digital drawing of my oc, esther. there are six different versions of her standing in a row. esther has brown skin and black hair in a bun, and each iteration of her is standing with one hand on her hip. from left to right: 1. esther is wearing a t-shirt with a ghost on it that says "port towns ghost tours" (where she works) and jean shorts with green converse and socks with aliens on them. 2. the same but she is viewed from the back. 3. labeled "alt 1" she is wearing a yelllow and pink striped tank top and dark green shorts, with yellow shoes. 4. labeled "alt 2 (fall? winter?)" she is wearing a black t-shirt with a sun on it labelled "astronomy" over a striped long sleeve shirt, with jeans and pink shoes. 5. labelled "pjs," she is wearing a white t-shirt with a little green man alien face and the words AREA 51 on it, as well as yellow shorts and blue socks with the constellations on them. 6. labelled "fancy," she is wearing a coral pink dress and white flats.

I'm gonna talk about Daryn's two sisters a bit!

Her first sister is Esther. Esther dies a long time before the story ever starts, but Daryn can't let go of her. She's haunting the story in a way, because Daryn's always thinking about her

I love her a lot, but Daryn doesn't remember the way she really was so much as an idealised version of her, and so no one will ever know her how she was.

Her SECOND sister is Mari. Mari's her half sister and was raised not even knowing Daryn existed. Getting to meet her and spend time with her is actually really good for Daryn because it means she gets at least one living family member who doesn't suck

Or, at least sucks less. Mari still kind of sucks

Tilda is looking for her brother. Are there any family members in your story? Siblings? Parents? Uncles? Tell us about them!

I am so sorry that this took forever. I didn't have the spoons at the time and I wanted to write it well 💕

+++++

She fingered the casing between index and thumb as one would a worry stone, circling over, and over, and over again. It brought little relief, but little did these days.

Cappie was hunched beneath the yellow lights of the Wolf's Den. Her pistol was disassembled into little dirty pieces of metal on the table, along with a bent legal pad that had Eli's scribble all over it about how to clean a gun properly, diagrams and all. Truth be told, Cappie lost interest about ten minutes ago, maybe lost a pin, and she knew that she could just ask Eli for help when he wasn't so busy. The question regarding Esther Seed gave her pause though. It halted Cappie from yet another unwanted responsibility so that she could board another train of unwanted thought.

"Thought I was done answerin' these damn questions," she murmured. Her hands rubbed over her tired eyes. "Sick of Deputies and crazy cult ladies in white dresses, that's for damn sure."

The smuggler sat back, then leaned forward to rest her elbows on the card table. Those heavy, hazel eyes then gazed down in thought. Pointed and true, they glinted like a knife to bore across the table as if the answer lay in the eyes of another.

"She helped Eli, Esther did," drawled the smuggler. "Least, he said she did. In the past. Shit, I dunno."

Cappie swallowed.

"I want it to mean something. I do. I wish it did, wish it meant something, made a difference. Almost doesn't matter now who did what for who, y'know? When it's all said and done, it doesn't matter. None of it does. I hear all these Deputies and cultists are, were, nice people. But it doesn't fucking matter now."

A bullet snapped into the magazine with a hard shove of her thumb.

"Because what's worse: Someone who harms, knows it, and doesn't care? Or someone who harms, but thinks that they're doing right by the victim? Guess that's all of us, ain't it? All just doing the best we can. Fuckin' bullshit. Ugh, now I'm in a bad mood. That's what I think about when you ask me about Esther Seed, okay? Heard she's nice, but who cares? She's saddled with Johnny, which tells you enough. Just another cultist that thinks they're doing right when they're not..."

@maniacal-butterfly’s Esther in Coldharbour!

She was fun to sketch!!

[canridauis]

and a new ref of mallory as well!! im wondering if i ever actually talked abt her & esther's story on here at all. they're both ghost tour guides -- mallory is very good at it, because she believes wholeheartedly in ghosts, has a commanding stage prescence, and has a psychic for a mom, while esther is. less good at it. because she loves history! and doesn't believe in ghosts at all. and she also loves aliens and will sometimes derail her rushed ghost stories to talk about how aliens actually did it. how she got her job and how she keeps it is a mystery. but one day tourists and normal people in their coastal new england town start to disappear, and no one has a clue what could have happened. mallory and esther decide to solve the mystery themselves, as they're sure that it can't be an ordinary human kidnapper, but can't agree on whether it's alien abductions or vengeful spirits (or something far more mysterious....)......

id: a digital drawing of six versions of my original character, mallory. all of them stand in a row, and she holds her hands in an awkward position by her hair. mallory is white, with long purple hair and white bangs. all the versions of her are facing forwards except for the second one. 1. labelled "at work," she is wearing a gray t-shirt with a ghost bearing the words "port towns ghost tours" and long black skirt with purple boots. 2. same outfit but a back view. 3. labelled "alt 1," she is wearing a purple sundress over an off-white collared shirt over long fishnet sleeves with gray stompy boots. 4. labelled "alt 2," she is wearing a gray shirt with several eyes on it, black shorts, fishnet tights, and white boots. 5. labelled "pjs," she is wearing a gray t-shirt with the word "band" on it, white pajama pants, and purple socks. 6. labelled "fancy," she is wearing a white sleeveless dress over a fishnet shirt and black boots with shiny buckles.

Whumptober Day Eighteen

Something feels … off. Esther can’t quite put her finger on what it is, but it feels wrong, and she doesn’t like it.

It might be Micah’s fault. It might be her father. It might just be her, but whatever it is, it’s wrong. Something’s wrong.

It’s not her. She’s sure it’s not her, because why would it be her? She can trust herself, trust her own senses. It can’t be her.

Her father is … off. Something’s strange about him these days, but she barely sees him, and she’s sure it’s not him either.

She never sees Jonah, either. He seems to spend all his time with their father, and she seems to spend an awful lot of time with just Micah and Daryn.

It can’t be Daryn. Esther trusts Daryn, and she’s only young, the baby of the family.

Micah, then.

The more she thinks about it, the more it makes sense. He hasn’t been talking to her so much recently, spending more and more time in his own head.

Does he not trust her? What reason could he have not to tell her everything.

They’ve always been close. Their whole lives they’ve been close, so why choose now to start deceiving her?

She doesn’t know if he’s ever lied to her, exactly. It doesn’t matter, really, he’s still been deceiving her, every time he doesn’t tell her something.

He’s planning something. She’s sure he’s planning something, something that involves her, or Daryn, and she won’t let him hurt either of them.

Perhaps he’s a traitor. Like their mother. Perhaps he’s going to sell them out.

She takes to following him around. Not so much that he would notice, but occasionally, when he looks as though he’s got something in his head. She knows him so well, she knows when he’s planning something, and he’s planning something now.

But he knows her, too. He notices her following him.

“Don’t you trust me, Essy?” he hisses, cornering her in a secluded hallway. “Don’t you think I want what’s best for us?”

“You’ve been lying to me,” Esther tells him.

“You wouldn’t understand.”

“I would. Tell me.”

“No. Don’t try to stop me.”

And then he’s gone. She can’t stop him leaving.

It only reenforces her belief that he’s planning something.

She tells Daryn. Daryn’s the only person she can trust at the moment. Daryn listens to her, tells her things. Daryn would never betray her.

She doesn’t trust Micah. She thinks he’s going to hurt her, to try and kill her, perhaps, and she can’t have that. Won’t have that.

He won’t kill her. She needs to live.

It’s not a surprise when he kills Jonah, and she knows that she’s next. He tries to lie about it, to tell her that its what’s best for them. Jonah would be a bad king, he says. I’ll be better. Father told me so.

He’s lying, of course. Father has told her that, but Micah doesn’t know that. Doesn’t know that she knows he’s lying.

He will kill them all if she lets him.

But she won’t. She’ll keep herself safe, keep Daryn safe.

She’s stronger than him, she’s sure of it. Father tells her she’s strong, and she knows he’s on her side. He has to be.

Micah has to die. He’s a danger to them all, and she can’t afford to let him live.

It’s almost a shame, really. They used to be so close.

But it’s his fault. He’s been lying to her, and she knows that he’ll kill her if he gets the chance.

She lies to Daryn about it. It’s only a tiny white lie, just so she won’t worry. She’s prone to being anxious, and Esther doesn’t want her to stress that Micah might hurt her.

It’s alright, though, because it’s to keep her safe. Esther’s not a liar. She just wants Daryn to be okay, that’s all.

Because Micah has to die, and Esther has to kill him.

That’s just how it has to be.

41 Esther, per-c, trouble

[prompt list]

Esther: Esther is fun because they believe they have to work to get everything they want, but they are 100% willing to cheat/manipulate the circumstances to avoid doing more work than necessary. they don’t do it out of malice, but if they can see that a system is inherently broken and unfair, they’re gonna fuckin exploit it to get what they want out of it. that being said, Esther’s see-sawing self image really alters exactly how they feel about getting anything at all. when they’re at their lowest points, they feel as though everything they’ve gotten is better than they deserve. this really fucks with their ability to Maintain the things they have Earned.

PER-C: PER-C believes she deserves nothing, and that the only purpose for her existence is to act as a tool that others can use. she’s really fucked up over owning literally anything, and the years of isolation she’s suffered through have made her super desperate to appease anyone who is remotely nice to her. not that said nice person would know. the 18 thousand walls she’s built up around her makes her seem super fuckin detached. eventually she manages to work through the trauma that left her like that, but even then she still struggles to believe she deserves what she wants.

Trouble: Trouble is sort of weirdly entitled as a coping mechanism. like he feels that the world OWES him everything he wants for what he’s been put through. of course, this has sorta lead to this life of crime for him? if he wants a material object, he’ll just steal it. will say though, he’s a very material person, i don’t think he wants anything immaterial at all. the boy is very in the moment. i think the most immaterial thing he wants is the ability to dream, but there’s no way to lie/cheat/steal his way into that one, unfortunately.
