OC interaction

Thanks to @mysticstarlightduck here and @illarian-rambling here!

Rules: describe an OC and then how they would interact with the OC of the person who tagged you!

The descriptions added up and now it's long. Under the cut!

Mystic's OC 1:

Nimwen is an 18 year old girl who has spent most of her life (since she was 8) travelling through the uncharted forests of a region popularly called "the wilds", with her adoptive brother Scarlet and their little band of misfits. They live on the outskirts of society, since their kingdom has been so dilligently outcasting them, but they don't seem to mind it. All in all, Nimwen is an awkward, overly anxious, often paranoid but incredibly sweet girl, though she rarely lets strangers get too close to her. She embodies the energy of a skittish deer that will bolt at the nearest sign of danger, even if its a false alarm, though she has very good reasons to be that way - her father was wrongfully executed for treason, and the people of the kingdom didn't exactly give her much reason to trust them after what they did, so yeah. She's very in touch with nature and other people's feelings though she somehow seems very much oblivious to her own. She prefers to avoid confrontation, and will only fight if that's the absolute last resort in a life or death situation. She loves very deeply and makes strong bonds once you get to know her properly.

Mystic's OC 2:

Renn is a young man in his late teens (his exact age hasn't been specified yet, but he's suspected to be around 16-19) with a penchant for dark humor and a love for all that's mysterious and slightly macabre. He has a very strong vibe that is reminiscent of those early 2000s goth/emo kids, minus the angst - just the aesthetics and the sometimes deeply philosophical existential crisis - despite his fantasy medieval setting. He is a rule breaker and likes to question authorities at every chance he gets, and is also very savvy about the true inner workings of their seemingly perfect kingdom. It is implied that he has some kind of secret he is keeping hidden at all costs, and that implication would be true, but its not what most people would assume. While the townsfolk mostly label him as this unhinged/"crazy" reject who is always causing trouble and is up to no good, he is actually a really sweet kid that just had some truly fucked up stuff happen in his past. He is a loyal friend and values honesty and integrity above all else, even if it means he'll have to go down fighting for what he believes in. Despite all of this intensity, he just wants someone to truly understand him and have a pure friendship towards him. He is also implied to be gifted in some kind of magic, though it isn't specified which, and that he has knowlege of "forbidden arts".

Katie's OC:

Ivander Montane is a 30 year old corrupt detective from the trade city of Unity. He has blue blood and double-pointed ears, wears fancy suits, and walks with a cane. His estranged family runs the banks of Unity, however he left them years ago, and in doing so, broke a divine contract, which left him cursed to slowly and painfully be transmuted into mist over the course of many years. Personality-wise, he's kind of a privileged shithead. He's got the catty attitude and love of gossip of a middle school girl, and can insult your outfit just as acutely. He doesn't have a sincere bone in his body and is afraid of any form of intimacy. However, deep down, he really just wants a friend and to not be in pain anymore. Show him the slightest hint of compassion and he will crumble. His hobbies include being a hater, fashion, and marksmanship (he's a crack shot with a rune rifle). All in all, he's got the snark of a drag queen, the heart of a lonely noir detective, and a body that's been through a cheese grater.

My OC:

Maddie is an 11-year-old girl who is quiet, curious, and a bit of a risk-taker. She's generally well-liked but isn't sure why people like her. She fidgets and squirms and likes to remain active, especially with her hands. She's a STEM kid through and through, loving each letter in the acronym. Maddie takes things apart, such as pens, to see how they work and eventually joins her school's robotics club. She believes in direct fairness - will match your tone with her - and gets a little upset if she is misunderstood, which is often, since she thinks she's straightforward. Her honesty leads to her being nosy, as she believes everyone should be open. Maddie is an animal shapeshifter, and enjoys the physical sensation of morphing as well as pushing her limits a little too much. She's a gamer who prefers consuls with buttons and enjoys old sci-fi shows and modern cartoons. Despite not quite understanding emotions, she does try to be there for the people she cares about, and usually tries to defuse a serious situation with a little joke.

Maddie + Nimwen:

Maddie likes adventure and risk, so I think she would be interested in hearing Nimwen traveling through uncharted forest for a decade. Her sibling is much more comfortable staying in, well, her comfort zone, so the idea of two siblings doing this would be a little foreign to Maddie. Being overly anxious and sweet would remind Maddie of her sister, but Lexi is a lot more outgoing. She wouldn't really understand Nimwen being skittish, but maybe Maddie's more adventurous nature would rub off on her. She may be a little caught off-guard by Maddie's shapeshifting. Nimwen being in touch with nature combined with Maddie's animal morphing will be interesting. Maybe Ninwen's knowledge of animals can help Maddie understand them more, since she's more of a hands-on person and is functioning based on reading up on animals - something she can only tolerate knowing she'll shapeshift later. Nimwen could also give Maddie more emotional advice, though it would take a while for Maddie to understand why Nimwen wants to talk with her. Maddie is a little over-eager to fight, so Nimwen may have to hold her back, or Maddie may try to get Nimwen to fight with her. I think this would be a fun little sister-esque dynamic!

Renn + Maddie:

Maddie is best friends with an emo/goth leaning person, so I feel like Renn is familiar territory. Maddie also likes breaking rules for the thrill and questioning authority, so I think they'd be an unstoppable force. Maddie is nosy, though, so I think she'd be a little too curious about Renn's secrets and business. They're both honest, Maddie almost blunt, so I feel like they'd get along. She'd also be curious about his own magic, and would probably show off her powers. I think Maddie would be a little weirded out if Renn wants to be friends with her - and since they seem to understand each other, that may be possible, though not sure how he'd feel about her being a kid - but I think in the end they'd be an unstoppable duo.

Ivander + Maddie:

Now this is an unlikely pairing. Maddie's nosy nature would probably get on his nerves. She'd be curious about the cane, why he's always in pain, etc and may ask too many questions and not pick up on how he doesn't want to answer them. She would probably though recognize his shitheaddedness and would just match his attitude with her fairness policy. Maddie has an odd fashion choice - bright and colorful with mismatched patterns, but I don't think she'd be that hurt by any insults, just confused. And of course would get him back. Maddie is a nice and kind person but isn't good about empathizing, and if Ivander doesn't show her compassion, she won't show it either. They'd annoy each other, and honestly they may have fun doing it. At least Maddie will find it very exciting to poke at his patience.

[yaralulu]

Can you imagine lucien opening the door to his manor only to find all his belongings from the spring court dumped on his doorstep essentially signifying that tamlin really doesn’t want him coming back and that any effort to reconcile their friendship is done and gone.What he doesn’t know is that tamlin is completely internalizing all the shitty things rhys said to him about deserving to be alone for the rest of his life and this is him accepting and believing that he really does deserve to be alone,that this is his punishment and he deserves it ☹️☹️☹️.

TANGLED: [adrien's] neck is grabbed and pulled into a kiss by [mr fires].

this is hardly the first time things have gotten so ... heated. much less is it the first time either one of they two were prey to a mutually overwhelming tension—nor is it even the first time it has taken action to resolve it. but the context therein ...

perhaps it'd be more apt to say it'd snatched him away, than anything else. but even that would be a poor description for how quickly it's composure cracked. a furious flurry of its robes enveloping them both, how swiftly its claws had shot out from 'neath its sleeve and curled hard against his neck, and no sooner did it watch shock overcome him than did it pull him forward the same it fell back. and here they are again : with only a hint of privacy, with metal door slamming only half as hard as it all but throws its back up against the shelves that nearly come toppling from the force of how brutally it pulls him up hard to its chest, and pushes its lips to his.

there is no permission, no request—there's hardly so much as a grunt in acknowledgement for the force it meets his lips with. but there is a growl fitting how its ears fall back and its hands clamor to grasp at him, desperate and hungry. for such a mild tease, its reaction comes extreme : like it'd been looking for an excuse for just this, as if it hadn't become nearly routine. but habits have done nothing for its patience, and its hands still fumble, slipping from his neck to slide along his jaw, or tangle in his hair as it demands his lips part and let its tongue drag heavy 'cross his own—it wants him closer. this isn't close enough.

Kiss Picrew Tag!

I was inspired by this amazing post by @mk-writes-stuff, and decided to make a few of my own with my WIPs characters! I'll go with Song of Thorns, Supernova Initiative, Of Starlight and Beasts and Enchanted Illusions because I had free time and hyperfocus lmao! Let's go!

By the way, if you like this, please reblog, it helps a lot 💕

Augustus & Harriet (Enchanted Illusions)

Aaah, my lovelies! Augustus, the book's resident necromancer, and Harriet, our lovely weirdo. They've got a little blood splashed onto their faces, probably as a result of a battle they've just won, but they don't mind (he is a necromancer and she has seen some stuff, why would they mind lmao?)

Renn & Roselyn (Song of Thorns)

They're adorable and I love them with all my heart, Your Honor, lmao. Renn is a half-vampire fey who was born a noble and became a thief due to unfortunate circumstances, and Roselyn is his sweetheart who is a spirited girl ready to defeat the King.

Elveryn & Cadenza (Song of Thorns)

The Monster Hunter who fell in love with an Elven Fey and both of them had a redemption arc. Technically his hair isn't white (Kane's is, not his) but a very pale shade of blond that the picrew didn't have, and he actually wears precision goggles instead of glasses, but you get the idea!

Tarrant & Aiden (Song of Thorns)

Tarrant (the one with red hair), the Silver Snake, and his lover Aiden (they/he), with whom he has a secret love story (which is a secret he has to keep hidden lest endanger Aiden because of his employer). Somewhat-starcrossed lovers with a dash of them being two angsty fools who are bad at communication lmao.

Jasen & Prince Alaric (Song of Thorns)

The Prince (Alaric) and the Pauper (Jasen), essentially! Again, Alaric's hair is actually a shade between dark auburn and dark blond, but I couldn't find it in the picrew so I went with the next best thing. They haven't had a chance to really kiss in the story but have been pining (without being aware that the feeling is mutual because they sure as heck are bad at reading emotions lmao.) for over a year, and really want to have that chance!

Jack & Lyorna (Supernova Initiative)

Once more, lol, Jack's hair is actually not this shade - he is red-haired, but his hair color is more of a natural auburn than this - but regardless! Lyorna is a young freedom fighter from an alien planet in the Khosmonian galaxies, and they meet during Jack's mission there and fell in love! They are adorable and stubborn.

Deimos & Vesper (Supernova Initiative)

ENEMIES TO LOVERS Y'ALL!!! Actually it's more of a Rivals-to-lovers situation lmao, but still. The Sniper and the Assassin. The Alien and the Cyborg. Both incredibly efficient at what they do, they initially annoyed each other to no end and were infuriated at the prospect of having to work together, but slowly, oh so slowly, started to care for each other and eventually fell in love, begrudgingly lmao.

Arammys & Corah (Of Starlight and Beasts)

The Mage and the Knight! Friends to Lovers! Arammys meets Corah by accident after losing his memories, and the duo embarks on a fateful quest to save the continent from a warmongering queen and break an ancient prophecy, after she (Corah) learns of the land's fate.

(Arammys hai is actually golden but I didn't find the option!)

[maggyoutthere]

Did these as "banners" for a fandom section on a pet project! It's easy to see what fandoms I was in haha

[blackdragon-selfships]

Adamspearl: Across Worlds and Beyond

The individual slides for day 14 of the FObruary prompt list event. Under each is a little summary of the story or world for the AU.

The Worst Guardian Angel

The main/default version of the ship. It's both a narrative story and self-insert x canon where it's just you with the character. The story version has Adam as Meg's guardian angel in an alternate timeline from canon where he doesn't die. They start out with neither party being very happy about it, but come together eventually.

Heavenly

The First Man and the Seraph of Patience. They met when he was still young for an angel and eventually got together. They dated for about a hundred years before he plucked up the courage to propose to her, and to his surprise and relief, she said yes. During the events of Hazbin Hotel they have been married for quite a while now, but it isn't until the courtroom scene that Meg/Pendara finds out Adam is going down to Hell once a year to kill Sinners...

Fallen

This one goes a couple ways: One version is Meg was a member of the hotel cast during season 1, then in my version of season 2, Adam reluctantly joins because he can't survive Hell on his own. In version 2, Meg isn't a member of the hotel staff but has spent her years protecting her Sinner parents (adopted) from Exterminations and other demons that would try to harm them. She meets Adam after he becomes a Sinner and eventually they travel together as some kind of messed up vigilante duo taking out the most threatening and diabolical of demon-kind (that aren't royalty). Adam also makes himself a new mask reminiscent of his old one.

Empyrean

The AU where the cast of Hazbin Hotel (plus Meg) are in the world of Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. Meg and Adam (in role, not personality) are kind of the Violet and Xaden of the AU, with their dragons being a strongly mated pair, the couple of riders hating each other in the beginning, and then the strong bond they form over time. Adam's dragon is a Blue Daggertail (like Sgaeyl) but his dragon relic is also gold and not blue...

Deep Ocean

I don't know if I'll ever do anything with this one...I was inspired by a couple of x Reader prompts and a piece of fanart of Adam as Ursula from The Little Mermaid. The idea behind this one is Adam is a mer-octopus and Meg is a diver/marine biologist. When they were kids they met and Meg gave Adam a sea shell she found which she thought was pretty. He gave her one in turn. Years later as an adult, Meg is on a research trip in Adam's waters and he remembers her from when they were kids because she is wearing the sea shell he gave her as a necklace. Apparently gift giving like that, and keeping the gift, is a courting thing with his kind...so he believes that makes her his mate. Meg did not get the memo... It turns into a Beauty and the Beast/The Little Mermaid kind of story.

Medieval

The Dragon and the Maiden. Adam is an ancient dragon that used to travel around with a flight of only females. He was considered a hero by some, a terror by others depending who you ask, but now he lives alone in a castle he decided to make his home for a few hundred years. Meg is a barmaid from the nearby village, and one day Adam takes notice of her. It isn't until she's fleeing for her life from the villagers after being accused of being a witch that he decides to come down there and pluck her up. She owes him for rescuing her, after all~

Parody AU 1: The Dragon Prince

This came from a roleplay with my friend @oransvillage. He wanted to do a TDP RP, so we did a parody of the show using our OCs and characters from Hazbin Hotel. Meg was Callum/Ezran (meaning she could be either role depending on the situation) and Adam and Lute were Rayla and sometimes Callum, again depending. In other words, Meg was princess of Katolis, Adam was an Earthblood/Sunfire elf hybrid raised by Moonshadows, and Lute was the Moonshadow he was closest to as he grew up. Instead of learning Sky magic, Meg learns Moon, then later Earth, and Adam has Sun and a bit of Earth.

Parody AU 2: (Disney) Beauty and the Beast

I'm sure most people would argue Adam would fit the role of Gaston much better...but I argue Beast and Gaston were very similar before Beast's curse and then the changes he went through thanks to the friendship he developed with Belle. Also I like Adam so he's my Beast. :P (Also apparently the Beast’s real name was probably Adam, so… lol)

Cold/Warm Blooded

This was inspired by an Adam x Reader prompt, then I expanded on it. There are so many siren x human stories where the siren is in captivity...but what about naga x human stories? So, naga!Adam in captivity and Meg is the scientist he sets his eyes on. He's sapient, able to consent, and he's the best quality of mate she'll ever find-human or other-so why not? It still takes her a while to even consider it...he's not the most lethal naga, but he's still a monster by species definition.

Monsters of the Night

Another Adam x Reader inspired one. I love the vampire Adam stuff from this person (edit: it no longer exists). How he's a vampire hunter and a reluctant vampire in one (Van Helsing, I guess? Never watched or read it) and how he deals with it. I thought about exploring that idea, but added werewolf!Meg. She's a lone wolf and currently is just trying to get through college without being found out or causing any incidents...but now this cocky Sophmore won't leave her alone... Turns into a college romance with a side of nocturnal monster stuff.

---

I said this already...but I love AUs. I love making them, I love seeing other people's creations for them. They're all so fun. I probably won't expand on all of these, if not most of them, but I hope you liked reading about my ideas.

HOLY SHIT

The Elden Beast and I died in the same second. I'm trembling.

For a moment I thought that wouldn't count because only the You died caption came up, but a second later the God slain showed as well... only I was too slow for a screenshot. A bit sad about that but the one I got is epic in its own right.
