Happy STS! If your OCs could watch their futures, how would they react to the events of your WIP?

oh this is a very interesting question

for púlsar, if ira knew what would happen just before the book starts, she wouldn't have left her family at all and would have tried to fix it herself with no imitator involvement (she would have failed) (she would have been sad to miss karma's friendship but alas níniam is much more important to her and she's not at a place where he'd be unsure of who to choose). if she found out just after part 1 i think she would be a danger to everyone and to herself. because she'd know goe, and have the ability to fix things, she would also try to do it all on her own, killing a couple of people along the way probably. she would succeed in making the changes she wanted but oh at what cost for everyone else (beyond her death)

karma would be extremely conflicted. for once he'd find what's wrong with the island and how to fix it but i don't think he could bring himself to do what it'd take and that would confuse him. he would also probably latch onto sher's behaviour and go scream and cry at him which would be healthy of him actually

sher would look at what happens and realize it's the best case scenario and mourn that it is (he'd also be impressed at how much karma grows)

for UP, i don't think it would change anything. lyric would not believe he'll end up acting like he does and he'd hate ely even more. ely is already aware of most of what will happen, but i do think they'd be shocked at lyric's behaviour towards the end because it isn't something they were even hoping for.

today i offer you some quick oc sketches from random prompts. tomorrow? who knows

aira is gardening in the greenhouse she deserves, ira and enzo are carrying some groceries (enzo swore he could carry all the bags no problem. he was wrong)

then it all devolved into what if ira and enzo are getting food for a bbq what is everyone else doing and so:

sirio is teaching garvan to juggle (to little success), lyric is doing tricks on that wide thingy you can tie in between trees to do balance tricks you know what im talking about. hannah is gonna end his whole ass career (garvan has given up in the bg). and then sahare and sher are being perfect together cuddling and reading when they hear someone fall. loudly (lyric's fine it's not his first concussion)

púlsar chapter x

more in the "scenes sher is that have me being normal about him" saga

karma questions ONCE why he's there and a total of ZERO times why he has ira's creation. THE ONE TIME HE SHOULD OVERTHINK A SITUATION. anyways

@my-cursed-prince more sher content :]

[vsnotresponding]

some process pictures plus a bit of a sequel (that im very normal about) to the last drawing

devastating: the lighting covered most of the stuff that took ages to line and paint in the original

im normal about sher checking on karma very late at night because he knows he's often up working late. and karma having no idea of that fact. he swears he left his tunic on the chair but maybe he didn't??? sleep deprived funky memory's fault probably

@my-cursed-prince

and so the trifecta is complete

father son and holy spirit of the Catalan Campaign Posters Parody ft. my ocs

if you are both well versed in my ocs and Catalan politics this is funny i promise

detenlos → stop them

ila necessita lideratge → ila needs leadership

defensem la terra → (we) defend the land (the our is implied)

Hi radio

How do you formulate your character voices? Is it more of a conscious of subconscious thing?

hi sleepy! thanks for the ask!

I'd say it's more of a subconscious thing? i never sat down and decided how ira or karma would sound, it just came with their characterization and getting in their heads when i write their povs.

ira is pretty short (ha) in her speech and so is her inner voice usually. she only ever gets poetic when talking about her connection with the island, everything else is just matter of fact. it also helps that she's very in tune with her emotions and her reality, and doesn't shy away from any of it. her inner monologue is sassy too at times, just like she can be mean to others when she speaks

karma's speech is much long-winded. he jumps from idea to idea as he tries to be as meticulous as he can (the scientist brain). he's also extremely anxious and has low self esteem when it gets to his ability to handle social situations and his importance to other people, which makes his inner monologue self depreciating more often than not. his method of coping is also to ignore everything he's not in an emotional place to handle (aka most things), so when his thoughts wander he's quick to stop them and to get his brain back on track (this never works on the long run lol)

he's also in the spectrum so the way he relates conversations focuses a lot on the little changes in posture he keeps doing consciously, as well as everyone else's, while he's unable to read their full meaning

as for sher, his thoughts are as strategic as he is. he's constantly deducing motives from those around him and is very aware of his failings (real ones and not insecurity related ones like karma). in this he is as aware as ira is

anyways I love them three

hihi happy storyteller Saturday! what would your ocs favourite meals be :0?

:0

happy sts to you as well! and thanks for the ask :]

the púlsar characters aren't very invested in food tbh. karma just eats whatever (when and if he remembers he needs to eat) and i don't think he'd have a favourite food

ira has spent her whole life with no reliable access to food so whatever she has access to is her favourite food ATM. that said, if she liked you and you asked she'd said it was a dish níniam's mentor made for them before she died. it was a traditional khithi dish the mentor put together because she knew she was going to die soon and she wanted them to at least experience it even if it meant calling in a bunch of favours (which ira realized years later. she was 10 at the time) i imagine it would be a hearty warm stew for the rainy and cold days

coincidentally this is also sher's favourite dish. it was one his mom used to make for him when he was really small (and before she got too sick to cook for him)

[vsnotresponding]

the emotions i am experiencing rn

sher using karma's royal name to taunt him and yet being unable to suppress his accent. i am so unwell

[vsnotresponding]

26 for the ask game 👀

hi merriweather thanks for the ask!!

you did not pick a dynamic so i'll do all of them in a sentence :]

26. How would these characters react to being stuck in a small room with each other?

(assuming they can't just get out with their powers/abilities)

cubs from different species that bonded must not separate: ira and karma would just chill (ira would try to get out not because she's bothered at being stuck with karma but because someone dared to lock her in anywhere)

hand in unlovable hand but no one else would take the other so they are stuck: assuming ely couldn't just teleport outta there, lyric would try to kill them and then they'd argue (and probably end up making out tbf)

i know society as we know it is disintegrating but you are kinda cute: enzo would be a blushing mess and ceres would be too (internally). it would be very painfully awkward and not a single word would be exchanged (sirio probably stuck them in there)

smartest people apart share a singular chaos braincell when together: sirio and enzo would play card games until someone rescued them (sirio always carries a stack)

i joke about babysitting you but idk what i'd do without you (platonic): uncomfortable without the buffer lyric offers, but eventually hannah and akira would get talking (and end up trash talking lyric, who probably locked them in there)

i joke about babysitting you but idk what i'd do without you (romantic onesided): after realizing they are stuck in there for the gods know how long akira would end up cracking and confessing to lyric and he would try to brush it aside with a joke and then it would all be very, very awkward

i care so much about you but i only know jokes and hanging out: just another day in garvan's life; karma would resort to brainstorming ideas and he'd listen and help where he could

god's coming back we gotta work together and i dont like people but i might like you: aira would rather face the wall than talk to eak at all because she's not getting attached, while eak would eventually give up to try and have a conversation and get his diary out to sketch some monsters (aira would then be interested but would say nothing because she's. not. getting. attached, i tell you)

*hisses at you* *hisses back* *respectful nod* *respectful nod*: sher is terrified and ira would enjoy taunting him and would also go at him for being mean to karma. sher would defend himself and to everyone's surprise they might come out of it liking each other

[vsnotresponding]

6. Do they have any shared interests/hobbies? Do they ever do these hobbies together? for "hisses at you, hisses back, respectful nod, respectful nod"

hi! thanks for the ask!

you picked: ira and sher from púlsar

the one and only thing they have in common is their love for karma lmao, so if you wanna count keeping him safe as an interest there you go. truth is, they don't interact much except when ira scares the shit out of sher, and even beyond canon they are never really friends (they eventually achieve honest friendliness in most aus tho)

but yeah, non of their hobbies intersect

[vsnotresponding]

i urgently need to be stopped

the amount of effort that went into this *hides*

@my-cursed-prince i membered the tag !!!

[vsnotresponding]

chapter x

in which no one has a good time

@my-cursed-prince im so good. at remembering

after a year and a half, i finally finished a piece i started for the three year anniversary of starting writing púlsar 💀

[vsnotresponding]

the babies (and adult karma and sher)

enzo is being one brand of genius kid inventing an actual functional language to cypher stuff and sirio being another brand of genius kid hiding the bomb he's building (he was told not to)

and then karma is having a termal colapse at recieving praise from his older brother. as you do

enzo 🤝 karma

being absolutely adorable when i draw them in my quick style, especially as children
