Is there anything specific that you really love about your ocs?

Thank you so so much for asking this? First, I'm honored and incredibly appreciative of you for asking. And second, you really got me thinking about what I *do* love about them and why I continue to explore them even after 11 months of being in this fandom space.

So this is going to seem like a generic, generalized response, but it is something that applies to all of them.

I really love how each of my OCs, at least in my perspective, very very clearly can be traced back to their source materials while simultaneously being their own characters.

Starting with Oisín, Oisín from the get go was always meant to align both with "The Headless Horseman" and also dullahan mythology (specifically Irish and Scottish folklore). And yet, because of the way they evolved and the way I developed them in alignment with the narrative of "Twisted Wonderland", they became their own being. --- idk if folks even knew this. I never set out to have them shipped with Lilia. It entirely developed naturally and on its own. And it has turned into arguably my favorite ship out of all of them. The Headless Horseman??? Married to a Vampire???? Incredible. Amazing. 10/10

Then you have Kingsley and like... he is so at his core the Horned King, and every which way you look at his narrative, even his character development? It aligns itself in the way that the narrative of the "Chronicles of Prydain" unfolds. Even when he has his seige on the castle, it feels on par with the actions of the Horned King or any of the other antagonists from the series. His temperment and his personality? 100% - and yet his choices are his own. His narrative is his own. He gets the Cauldron. He gets to KEEP the Cauldron. Its HIS. Not Tarran's!!!!!

René, Rémi, and Eve are so painfully the main trio of "Swan Lake" (the ballet). And yet René's entire narrative and personality is contingent on a question that the ballet NEVER answers or even considers: "Who is Odile without Rothbardt?" And so the Odile we get in NRC, René, is my interpretation of who Odile would be when alone. How she would act if functioning on her own and without the evil magician. So sure, René is Odile. But René also is René. And only René.

Emil holds an incredibly special place in my heart where this theme is concerned. I don't think many people are aware of the anti-semitism in "Tangled". So when I thought of the idea of a Dame Gothel expy, I went in with the idea of creating a Gothel who just was Jewish coded but not a charicature. I incorporated elements from the original Rapunzel tale, the adaptation of "Into the Woods", "Tangled", and added flavor in the form of jewish beliefs and jewish customs. It's resulted into a character who is very very clearly Gothel in his narrative and in his personality and in his relationships, but he isnt restricted by the narrative or characterization as depicted by Disney. He has grown beyond that just like the beanstalk that ended up in his bestie's backyard. Also-- his Overblot? Chef's kiss.

Xiáng is ESPECIALLY fun here. Because when I originally created him, I didn't have a Disney character in mind. He showed up an amalgamation of different ideas and themes from stories I've read recently that I really enjoyed. And then @inmateofthemind popped into my DMs and asked me if Xiáng was twisted from Crikee from "Mulan". And I sat there. And i looked at all the drawn comparisons. And i couldn't deny.... the parallels were to strong not to lean into it. And the more I leaned into it? The more and more he showed himself to BE Crikee. And yet he so ISNT!!!!!! It's honestly so fun.

Sefu is also really fun, because they came from a rewatch of Lion King 2: Simba's Pride with @ramshacklerumble . And I honestly just gave myself permission to take the idea of Zira and REALLY LEAN into the yandere, creepy territorial fan aspect of her character. It also gave me the opportunity to explore how I personally think Zira's dynamic with Scar looked like, based on the implications set out by the film. We never get to see it in the media, which means that Sefu does have the opportunity to expand beyond the scope of Disney, and I do get to determine how much Leona actually can't stand them lol.

Alphonse too is such a fun one. Because his source material depicts the Wellies as incredibly static and yet emotionally driven characters, I get the opportunity to explore the question "What would allow the Wellies (from "Giselle" the ballet) to actually move on and rest in the after life?" It's also a fun opportunity to explore the very blurred lines between fae and ghosts in older Anglo/Irish folklore, as the Wellies were supposed to be inspired by the Otherfolk.

If you're still reading this- thank you so much for sticking around?? Genuinely, I appreciate it and I hope you enjoyed the read. If you want more specific details about any of the things mentioned, please don't hesitate to ask!

Spin Off Scenes & Ficlets!

Work Is Published Wednesday!

(Just under the wire... I am SUPER busy with the MD Ren Faire coming up, but I wanted to get this series published before then. )

These various ficlets and short scenes fit within my canon timeline, and mostly feature various Original Characters from the Dregs and the crew of The Wraith. It started with a Queer ficlet challenge here on Tumblr, and became a fun way for me to explore little snippets of my OC’s lives, as well as practice writing succinctly! For all the little introductions, side story lines, and snippets of my Grishaverse OC's lives, check back to this series in the future.

There's some smutty ficlets with Kalu and Senn, some wholesome meetings between Zurye and the Novikovs and then Seile and Meril. We see Cory discover Cob at Fifth Harbor. And Mikhal make Nico feel better after the black eye that Ryo gave the blond bouncer.

Not tagging anyone because it is SO late.

women who would claw ur eyes out in absolute panicked desperation <333

Omari Earthkeeper, life wizard and bearer of the braincell (most of the time)

I finally got my friend @wrenbirdii to play w101 with me, so here’s our boys! Full version of that Belgrim art on their blog, go look at it it’s beautiful-

Omari looks like the responsible one but that’s just a front, they’re both menaces. If Ravenwood didnt have detention before, they invented it just for these two.

[bat-connoisseur]

A bunch of OC designs/reworks I've done this month :> Still more to go, but Jasper and Crystal have been characters just SCREAMING for a redesign for YEARS now so I'm really happy to have gotten them done :) The Anatomist is a new oc and I'm enjoying his nasty fuckedup-ness, and Omari's design was okay but it needed a complete retool because he's now themed around an entirely different animal (An Egyptian Fruit Bat rather than a Honduran White Bat, so I needed to take out the dominant whites and yellows from his pallette).

Up next? Idfk, whoever I feel like drawing aha. Al, perhaps, or maybe I'll finally get around to my Galaxy design rework. I'm trying not to stress having everything 100% new and shiny for artfight, all my old stuff is perfectly serviceable, so I'm just focusing on those with the biggest changes.

@mikkokomori Miko ._. Important question!

Hikkiko’s opinion on Ethereal Route Mari? Seeing as how Hikkiko already encountered Klaus and Del lol Mari could possibly help Hikkiko get more comfortable with them too :3

(Basically Canon Mari not long after her death, but she’s in a slightly better mental state thanks to her new dads lol)
