I'm going to talk about Constance for a minute, and while I could do this on her blog, this was moreso concerning the characters in the universe rather than *just* strictly Constance. I was kinda hoping for opinions that didn't stomp all over the idea but to help make it work instead.

I've debated on her selective mutism for a while, I at least decided to keep it a vague 'difficulties talking' in general for her in the meantime. One of the things holding me back is that one of the ways Gilbert ends up being 'easy' for her to talk to in ways, is because of sign language.

It's. difficult to explain, but some reasons for this would have been 'nobility have more time and resources, they would be able to learn something like sign language.' and that makes a lot of sense to me, right? Because my thought process was along the lines of how those who have to constantly work most of the day to survive, they wouldn't really have the luxary/time for such things unless it strongly impacted their life in a way. Instead they'd make do, with paper and other gestures.

Aside from likely huge historical inaccuracies based off of that, even if that were the case, it still leads issues to who knows it and who wouldn't know it. Because in Constance's story, I have it to where Chev and Gil know it, but someone like Rio, who has been close to her for years, does not...? And that seems odd to me.

(That, and now that I think further on it, I feel like Clavis would know it too.)

My first jump is 'well wouldnt they all know it?" but then I feel like it wouldnt impact Nokto or Jin or some of the others as much as it could impact someone like Clavis or Sariel knowing it? I could even make an excuse as to why Silvio would know it as well.

So then why would Rio, who is following the same level as normal Rio since Constance is mainly an Mc replacement at this point, *not* learn sign language, if he didn't already? He's a good dude who is hopelessly devoted to friends/loved ones- if he thought it would ease some burden for a close friend, why wouldn't he?

Would he listen, if she asked him not to learn it due to her being worried about the difficulty of it? Because Constance likely learned from Akatsuki and possibly thought it was a burden if he struggled with it a bit. Or she learned from someone else in the town, and it was clear there were a lot of struggles with her learning it.

I feel like even if asked, he wouldn't listen, unless it was a harsh argument, but then he'd still learn it in secret? I cannot come up with a good reason of why he wouldn't know it.

Let's go!

Looking at my library, I might need to invest in some more danmei for the winter. Thousand Autumns is currently looking very lonely.

I obviously don’t think it’s bad to bottom (or emasculating or degrading or whatever) but it feels different w hexie bc xie qingcheng was initially forced to bottom w the explicit intent to dominate and humiliate him and even as it became more consensual it kinda feels like xie qingcheng never got a choice in the matter, that he yu just prioritizes his own preference w/o consulting xie qingcheng? Like yes xie qingcheng gets off on it but I want him to top just once, maybe they’d really like it.

Idk tho maybe I’m wrong, as they get further along xie qingcheng sometimes takes the initiative to ride he yu and it does seem like he gets more pleasure from prostate orgasms than whatever he did with ruoqiu. So there’s that.

I've been thinking and thinking, and I realized they would all say "it gets better, I promise" 😭 no variation, but I think all their younger selves seeing a note like that after a huge family fight (regular occurrence for Anju), another traumatic event (for Amélie), and struggles with herself endlessly (Constance), it would help them breathe a bit easier.

Answer in the voice of your OC...

[Name]! If you could write a note for your younger self, what would you say in 5 words?

[scummy-writes]

finally, FINALLY finishing @xxsycamore's ship chart after what? over a month? I didn't write out the fillables for longer answers due to CSP making the text unreadable, so it's in the post! I'll put it under a readmore, especially since I'll start rambling vaguely. @dododrawsstuff is who drew Constance's portrait in this!

Constance:

Green flags -> Patient, Tries at least once,

Red flags -> Will get drunk at times when unable to handle emotions, Stubborn, will hide issues

Gilbert:

Green flags -> coaxes her to think on her own, encourages her not to become like him, deeeeeep underneath his layers of clothes he does very much care about a lot of people enough to {*long winded rant*]

Red Flags -> Look at him.

How did love change them? Gilbert was willing to put his plans for a damn revolution on hold, due to*waves*, but him. For Constance she gained more confidence and self-love in a very odd way. Found a voice again, so to speak.

How do you imagine their bad end? Together or separate? Separate... Gilbert -> ⚰️, Constance forcing herself into a life she didn't much want in the way of quashing hopes and dreams to be 'normal'. ...Ok ok it's not that creative, but sue me. Constance's whole thing is about how she lets others step on her all the time until she can't take it anymore or learns better. She's not fleshed out and won't be for another year.

Together? hm... I am unsure. I feel like it would be a simple thing of her not living up to expectations, something that would kill them both quite literally.

What is the perfect story event for them? One where Constance can get away from the palace and people who know Gilbert a bit to learn more about him in a 1:1 setting and without a crazy amount of judgement. So like an island event- ashjbfsdfs kidding, but there are a few events about Gilbert strongarming Mc into a date, so.

If the other didn't exist, who would they end up dating? Gilbert -> ⚰️, Constance... I want to say Rio but also don't because it seems like a mean answer. I think she would either live alone or get with someone who seems decent enough and isn't crazy important to her.

i had this in my drafts for so long and Im tired of it being intimidating... orz the reality is that I haven't given Constance a coherent storyline, but this was fun to think about. Maybe in a year I can redo it.

[sideeve]

indulge with me in this . please .

(this has been an idea i’ve have from 7 years old)

your fist meets the skin of one of the thug you were apprehending. the beeping from your cowl’s intercom sounds. “batgirl, speak.”

“batgirl. i need you in Gotham.” bruce says. he sounds like hens desperately demanding for assistance. “kinda busy here, B.” you kick the hump of the thugs throat, giving you time to knock them out. “this is serious. scarecrow is threatening to cover all of gotham in fear toxin.”

all of gotham? what about your mom and dad? your friends. “has GCPD taken any action?” you call for your batmobile, quickly hopping in.

“the city has evacuated. it’s all scum on the streets.” you let out a relieved sigh. “good.” you rev the engine, driving to gotham.

the clock tower is silent. only whirs from the electric work around you. “Babs?” you call out. “here.” she rolls her wheelchair backwards, waving you over to where she is. standing beside her, you speak first. “so? what did i miss?”

she sighs, pulling up an interactive fear toxin image. “bruce took out a militiaman with a fear toxin injector. this formula is strong. imagine the fallout if he goes through with this.” her tone becomes paranoid, her mouth spewing worries. “don’t worry, babs.” you put your hand on her shoulder. “we got this.”

“batgirl. we have a lead to where Scarecrow is making the toxin. meet me at ACE Chemicals.” the hologram of Bruce disappears on your wrist. “great.” you huff. “you call me if you find anything.” you tell babs before leaving the clock tower, driving to ACE Chem.

your batmobile slides next to Batman’s as you eject out, landing next to the caped crusader himself. “Scarecrow’s in there.” he nods his head towards ACE Chemicals.

before you could respond, a helicopter rises from the broken bridge you stood on. a masked man was behind it. his attire was similar to the Batman’s. but more military styled and red.

“time to die, Batman.” then, the helicopter lets its mini gun spread bullets. both you and Batman jump behind the GCPD cop cars along with the other police officers, waiting for it to end.

“friend of yours?” Commissioner Gordon asks Batman. “stay here. i’ll find out.”

“any idea why he only wanted to kill you?” he doesn’t respond but grapples his way up to a ledge, you following after.

after locating the remaining hostages, you drive your way over to one before the dumb militia decide to have fun.

as you untie the poor hostage, a smoke bomb is thrown down in front the room in front of you. “formation!” the militia get into position, aiming their rifles at you, ready to shoot at you through the glass if needed.

suddenly, the Arkham Knight repels down a rope, chuckling as he walks up to the glass. “oh how i waited for this moment.” he takes a deep breath. “don’t shoot. she’s not a threat.”

“believe that if you want.” you spit.

he laughs, “still a firecracker, i see.” he puts his hand on the glass, waiting for you to meet his. “you’ll see reason, soon. you’re just blinded by that caped idiot.

ah? ah? any takers?!? i know it was ass but i was speeding through it.

request forum.

Snippet from Our House AU - Bucky teaches(?) Ken how to drive

“The breaks. The breaks! THE BREAKS! Jesus Christ, Kenny hit the god damn brakes right now or-” Bucky cried, clinging onto the handle just above the window for dear life. The car was older than he was and to his knowledge the seatbelts had never been changed, so he was far form confident in the thing’s ability to stop him flying head first through the windscreen and going splat on the asphalt up ahead.

“I’m breaking, I’m breaking,” said Ken, trying to sound serious but unable to hide the sound of his smile as he eased the wheezing vehicle back from the brink.

“What the hell was that?” Bucky gasped, rubbing a hand over his eyes and watching as the scenery around them stopped whipping by at light speed.

“We’re on the highway,” replied Ken as if Bucky had asked a stupid question.

“Yes, and how many times have you been on the highway?”

“Once. Just now.”

“Yes, so it would be wise not to go TWENTY above the god damn SPEED LIMIT,” Bucky said. He wanted a cigarette. “This was my grandma’s fucking cab and her ghost will haunt the shit out of your ass if you run her into a ditch."

Then he added under his breath "Speedy little bastard.”

Ken chuckled and shook his head, sinking back into his seat.

“Stop your whinging, it’s fine,” he said, moving his lower hand out of the correct 10 and 2 positions. “See, she’s in good hands. I know how to treat a lady.”

“See, from that demonstration, I don’t think you do, cus with ladies you gotta wine and dine ‘em a little before you take her for a ride at a million god damn miles an hour. From this display I would guess you never even seen a woman, let alone treated one any which way. Turn left here” he said, pointing them toward the road that would take them back into the city.

“Well, that’s where you’d be mistaken,” said Ken, neatly flicking on the indicator light and rounding the groaning taxicab around the corner.

“Oh yeah?”

“Emma Turner, Year Twelve.”

“And how was she?”

“Nothing compared to-” Ken started, before he paused, asking, “what’s her name?”

“Babs,” replied Bucky, his fingers massaging his aching forehead.

“Emma Turner was nothing compared to Babs.”

“Yeah, yeah. Eyes on the road, rookie. She's way too old for you.”

Bucky was grateful to be back on the path toward safety. His reluctance to be killed by Ken’s reckless driving surprised him as he had always been something of a fan of reckless driving himself. He guessed it must be the control aspect, dying in a wreck of his own making seemed fair enough, dying in a wreck caused by his best friend’s lunatic boyfriend, not so much. They drove for a while until they passed a diner he recognised and he urged Ken to stop.

“You owe me a beer after that shit and I’m driving us home,” he said, as Ken manoeuvred them into the car park and made an annoyingly clean reverse park. For all that he gave him shit, the kid really was a natural driver. “With any luck you can pass your test in a month and Babs can breathe a sweet sigh of relief.”

“Nah, she’d miss me.”

A minute later they were sitting at a corner table with matching beers, the glasses sparkling with condensation. Bucky took a long pull from his, licking foam scum out of his moustache and sighing.

“Remind me why I’m doing this again,” he said, it came out a little muffled as he probed the bristles on his upper lip with his tongue.

“Because you’re a kind person who wants to help his friends," he paused for a moment to let the flattery do its work, "and you’re the only one who has a car.”

“And you don’t know how to drive because?”

“I’m from London,” Ken said, as if it answered the question.

“And your dad can’t teach you cus?”

“He’s from London too.”

Bucky shook his head, fishing a smoke out of his cigarette and lighting it.

“No wonder Aston Martin went down the shitter.”

WAILS

I was already all "awww 🥺" at the comic (i love chev being legit interested in her interests and similar), and then I hit readmore and see Constance with everyone 😭

Thank you for thinking of her, and thank you even more for drawing her 😭😭😭

Festa Junina - Ikepri OC Comic (Melinda)

In June we have a kind of "festival" called "Festa Junina" and I thought it would be cute to draw Melinda and Chev (or Chevinho, as Mel calls him to tease him lol) celebrating it.

I also sketched some of my friend's and moot's OCs with the traditional clothes that are used, not everyone wears them, but I think they are cute. I was able to draw only 6, though, I wanted to draw all of them lmao. If I make a part two of this I'll probably sketch some more (you can let me know if it's okay for me to borrow your OC for things like these, they won't be frequent as it's time consuming, as much as I enjoy it)

Jason Todd & Barbara Gordon friendship thoughts:

-Shared joker trauma (duh) but also shared experience with Bruce and Gotham and trying to help.

-Babs is way more stable and not like at total peace but she isn’t fixated and reactive and stuck like Jason often is, although only a portion of that revolves around what the joker did to him.

-There is this unspoken thing where Jason isn’t comfortable with her connection and sometimes even support of the GCPD/her dad/the system. He tries so hard not to let it affect how he is around her. Likewise Barbara worries in all directions about his methods/violence/associates. She doesn’t love that he kills or goes undercover with no backup against the scum of the earth. Worries both for him and for the people who encounter him.

-Jason is lowkey clingy and starved for positive socialization but he usually tries to divert attention away from that rather than face the possibility of being rebuffed. He wants to be in Barbara’s good books. He will tell her almost any info she asks for as long as 1) it isn’t crucial to cases he is currently working 2) it remains between them unless it connects to something monumental and imminently dangerous which requires bats to help with. Babs tells him stuff too. Stuff like where the bats are so he can avoid them, things that happened while he was away, which cops she trusts to be decent to street kids/sex workers/homeless people and which ones deserve to have the piss scared out of them by Red Hood.

-Book recs on both sides. The classic stuff that got Jason into reading as a kid, interesting historical biographies, and playful jabs with things like Dealing With People You Can’t Stand. One day Babs gives him her filled out PTSD workbook and they have a long talk and a cry.

-Jason comes over to hang out one day in that space between Christmas and New Years and they eat cinnamon rolls and croon Bing Crosby at each other and watch the live action version of The Grinch.

[littlestfallenangel]

I don't follow the comics all that closely (got into DC stuff from the 90s and 00s cartoons) but from what I know Jason and Cass seems like a really underutilized duo.

Cass hating Jason on a philosophical level but liking him on a personal level because, unlike Dick or Tim, he hasn't broken the hearts of Babs or Steph.

Cass begrudgingly stopping Jason from killing rapists, human traffickers, and other human scum that she agrees deserve to die, but every time she thinks about letting Jason do it she remembers the terror and nothingness.

Fight scenes where Jay and Cass can deal with the bad guys so effortlessly that 90% of their effort is spent trying to kill the bad guys/trying to keep Jay from killing the bad guys.

Jay trying to bond with taunting Cass over how Bats holds them to impossible standards, even higher than the other bat kids. Cass knowing he's right but struggling because Bruce, though flawed and arguably abusive in his own way, is still the father that let her hold him - because even if she's loyal to The Bat and not the Man, even if she can separate the two in her mind, it is difficult to separate the two in her heart.

Cass needing physical touch to feel secure and loved. Jason needing to not be touched lest the flashbacks start. Cass trying to jostle Jay awake. Jay instinctively pulling a gun out from under his pillow and aiming it square between Cass's eyes. Cass staring at him as if the gun isn't even there - because to her it may as well not be. Cass not being afraid of him. Of all the complicated feelings she has for him, she's never afraid of him. Jason having no idea what the fuck to do with that.

There's so much drama to mine, and so many different directions to take it.

Chapter 8: Mission Part 2(Finale): Rescued Bird

Zella pov

I'm standing behind the curtain with Artemis and Barbara next to me. The dress I was wearing was a sparkly purple dress with a large slit on the right leg and a sweetheart neckline. It was higher then I liked on my thigh. I had black gloves and black heels. My hair was done in a long ponytail but it covered my left eye.

"I look like Jessica Rabbit.", I think to myself.

I glare at Artemis with the one visible eye. "Just for the record, I hate this plan.", I said.

"Hey, we're the distraction right? So this will definitely distract them.", she answers with a wink.

Barbara just rolled her eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to Bella, Diana, and Debra!", the owner announces as the crowd claps their hands. The curtains open and the spotlight hits me first.

"Hit it.", I said as I walked forward a little bit. The band starts and so does the show.

"Good evening all you gentlemen, mobsters, creeps and crooks.", I sang as I made a sweeping motion with my hand towards the crowd.

"Men in tights come after you, and still you're off the hook.", 'Debra' sings as she was next to be shined on by the light.

"For those who scare and terrorize, it's the dawn of a brand new day.", 'Diana' sings as the light hits her last.

"You scum can simply call us, the one and only Birds of Prey.", we sang together.

"Green Lantern has his special ring.", I sang as I made my hand look like I was wearing a ring.

"Pretty strong that little thing.", Artemis and Barbara sing as they point to my ring finger.

"Robin's deeds are really better then the rest.", Babs sings as she waves her hand.

"But who will bring him out of his nest.", me and Arty sang standing close to each otherand holding hands.

"Flash's foes, they finish last," was sung by said hero's girlfriend with a large smile on her lips.

"Too bad sometimes he's just too fast."

"While all the boys can always save the day, no one does it better than the Birds of Prey."

 (The one and only Birds of Prey)

"While all the boys can always save the day, no one does it better, no one does it better than the Birds of Prey."

"Nightwing has heroic traits, that is when you have him standing up straight."

"Hey!", I said with a one-eyed glare to Artemis.

"I'm just saying.", she says with a shrug and a slight smile at my pout.

"Red Hood's always courageous.", I sang as I walked past her with a small smile.

"His little bullets, less outrageous.", Barbara sings with a roll of her eyes.

"Red Robin who can do the task's crazy demands.", I sang as as I raised my hands into the air.

"Becomes putty in our hands.", we sang as the girls appeared on either side of meas they raise their hands too.

"While all the boys can keep you punks at bay, no one does it better than the Birds of Prey

(The one and only Birds of Prey)

"While all the boys can always save the day, no one does it better, no one does it better than the Birds of Prey."

Just as the instrumental part was starting we left the stage and stand by a sitting handsome guy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nightwing pov

I was struggling to get out of the ropes when I hear the guards grunting. I hear one get slammed into the wall and then there was silence. I hear the lock being picked as I was about to do something when the door swings open. In the doorway was Huntress and Black Canary.

"I am so glad to see you guys.", I said with a smile.

Huntress walks over to me and starts to free me. My torso was the first to be untied. Once my wrists were free, I start to rub them to get the blood flowing again. I did the same with my ankles. I then stand up and stretch.

"Come on. We better go before Phantasma has a heart attack.", Canary says from the doorway where she kept watch with a slight smirk. From the open doorway, I could hear music?

"What? Why? Is something wrong?", I asked slightly panicked.

"You'd have to see it to believe it.", Huntress says with a smirk.

They lead the way and we find ourselves in the backstage area. We made just as the instruments were doing their part without the singers to get ready for the big finish. I quickly looked around for Zell when I looked at the stage.

My jaw just drops. "OK, wasn't expecting that."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zella pov

"Nightwing throws his bird-a-rang, what a weapon, what a bang.", I sang to the guy who I was standing next to as I place my hand on his shoulder and lean into his ear.

"Check out those escrima sticks, sure can make a girl's heart tick.", Barbara sings with a hand on her left cheekwith the other hand holding her elbow.

"He's always right there for the save, I'd like to see his secret cave.", Artemis sings with a hand on the right cheek in the same pose.

"While Nightwing does things in his special ways, he'll do it better with the Birds of Prey.", we sing as we head back onto the stage.

(The one and only Birds of Prey)

"While Nightwing always seems to save the day, no one does it better, no one does it better than the Birds of Prey, Birds of Prey." we sang the finale notes as we each struck a pose.

The band stops playing and suddenly the crowd goes crazy. We all bow then head to the backstage area to go to the dressing room. Artemis and Barbra go inside the dressing room. I noticed someone standing behind me in the backstage area we were alone in.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nightwing pov

I noticed the Mob Boss following them so I head there as well. I get there and to my surprise, he's knocked out cold and Zell is the one standing over him. The others must be in the dressing room. She sees me and smiles but frowns quickly when the guards come rushing at us. We took them down then I looked back to Zell. I walk up to her, lift her into my arms, find a window, and use my grapple gun.

"Tell Bats to not wait up.", I said to the others who show up as I take us into the air.

I had us land on a roof and just look at her.

"What?", she asks.

"Nothing. You just look great.", I said with a smile.

"I hate it. That creepy guy ran his hand up my leg.", she says with crossed arms and a pout.

"So you knocked him out?", I said trying to fight back a smile.

"Yes."

I burst out laughing before kissing her forehead. "You're too cute, you know that?"

"I'm not cute.", she mutters.

She suddenly starts to shiver so I quickly wrap my arms around her. I decided it was time to head home.

"By the way, did you really mean that?", I asked as we flew through the sky and onto our roof.

"Mean what?"

"About 'what a weapon, what a bang?'", I ask with a large smirk.

"Sh-shut up!", she says with a large blush as she heads to the door that leads to the hallway where our apartments are. She opens the door and starts to head inside.

"Keep the dress!", I call out to her.

"GRAYSON!", she yells as she throws a shadow ball at me.

I dodge it and she's already inside.

"Worth it", I said with a goofy smile as I hurried after her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

((Zella's outfit during the 'mission'. I think I can see why Dick thought it was worth it to tell her to keep the dress.)

Scum talks about OCs

In this I'm just going to go over my Ocs in sections of their own. I'm not really using a special Oc template, I'm just talking about them and what fics they appear in, because to be blunt, I do write 'reader inserts', but some fics are written with these ocs in mind even if they're not detailed out specifically.

I'm just chatting about for fun, this will not change how I write currently. I would not expect fanfics about these characters specifically.

Amélie - Drawn by @beni-draw-ikemen-please. (Full picture is her in a chair with Isaac sittin on the arm of it, and Arthur resting his head on her lap <3 I love it)

Anju, made with a Picrew here. I think her expression is a bit too gentle here, and she would mainly wear warmer yellows or cool toned blues, not the shirt in the image.

SS from Prince of my WIP OC for it, since she's fuckin impossible to make on picrews. Her current name is Constance.

I am honestly surprised people showed some interest in this, so bear with me through my bumbling please. A lot of these say 'mc' but they are 'reader insert' fics still. Previous fandoms had 'mc' interchangable with 'reader' so...

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, just know I might not have all the answered.

╰❧ Amélie

Amélie has been around for a few years, and Beni has been a saint for letting me comm her to draw her. Because of this, I was able to make a character profile for her Here. Additionally, a much older one Here that details some vague things about her past, and including her past with Sebastian (Childhood friends).

-> Fanfics she has been 'in': Breathless Discoveries (Isaac/Mc), Mental Gravity (Isaac/Mc), Blessed Accidents (Isaac/Mc), Exercise in Restraint (Isaac/Mc), Temptations (Arthur/Mc), A Helping Hand (Arthur/Mc), His (Theo/Mc), Playful Punishments [vaguely] (Isaac/Mc/Arthur), Midnight Impulses [Vaguely] (Isaac/Mc/Arthur), Musings (Isaac/Mc), Oral Prompt with Isaac, First Steps (Isaac/Mc), The Talk (Isaac/Mc), The Shirt Thief (Isaac/Mc), Isaac Overworking (Isaac/Mc/Arthur), Awkward Dates (Isaac/Mc), and likely some other small drabbles I have missed...!

─❧ Summary: (Brief mentions of abuse/SA/Trauma but not explicit details)

A lot of her general background is covered in the second character profile I linked above. It sounds vague, and well! That is because it is a bit traumatic. I don't want to gloss over the fact that she has been through a lot, primarily SA, but I don't like focusing entirely on it to where that is the Only thing about her. Her previous job was ... an 'idol'? I never fleshed it out fully, due to self embarassment, but I wanted her to be a singer with a 'small' following, who got connected with shitty producers and signed a contract way too young without understanding the full implications of it, which caused most of her money to not actually be Hers. Due to her parents strongly against her career choice, going as far as rushing a contract ended up having her cut off from her family. With Sebastian gone, her support network disappeared completely.

She Vaguely goes over this in Patchworked Pieces (be mindful of tags), which was supposed to be a full fanfic detailing her story, but I am not meant for long fanfics at all so I posted what scenes I had typed enough with. on the chapter On Failed Attempts, she details a bit more of her experiences.

How she met Comte was through the normal opening of visiting the muesuem. She did it under distress and wanting a distraction, she was weighing options and considing some pretty awful things! I like to think Comte could tell she was beside herself and trying to calm down a little. I like to think he could sense the distress and the thing she was contemplating, and led her back to the mansion.

Which! Is rocky. She's terrified of everyone, until she sees Sebastian, and he helps ease her into her mansion life. She never tells Sebastian what she went through, due to worries and fears that he would manage to blame himself. So in her story, he never finds out.

Isaac is the primary person who knows some details, but not everything. She'd tell both him and Arthur some bare minimums, just so that when things got intimate, her panic attacks for 'random' reasons wouldn't make them believe it was because of them.

As for how they all entangle with each other? Well... Amélie is not what brings them together, necessarily.

Before she arrives, Arthur attempts to get close to Isaac. It is platonic at first, perhaps he had a crush on him but waves it off. But alcohol is introduced, they start 'drinking' together (Isaac is still a lightweight so he barely builds up his tolerance, mostly keeps Arthur some company), and...They get too tipsy and adventurous with each other. Arthur gets ashamed immediately. Not out of doing things with another man, because it was clear he was using Isaac to get over some trauma. So he avoids, hides, and their friendship crumbles.

And after that is when Amélie stumbles into the mansion.

Her friendship with Isaac is the most prevelant. And after getting on a better start with Arthur, they end up slowly getting entangled with each other. Isaac, unfortunately, deals with the brunt of her panic attacks. Finds scars, attempts to heal them.

It's through healing that they all twine together. Helping each other face their traumas, face what happened between them all.

Ironically, her love for singing was bounced in and out of the story. I wanted a few scenes where she tries to play in one of the many secluded rooms in the mansion- finds an old piano while cleaning, places a few notes. But I don't think she'd be able to any time soon. I think she would need a break for a year or two, before she started exploring music again. Or anything super creative.

I like to imagine that she is friends with a majority of the residents. When she is faring better, she paints with Leonardo and Vincent. She listens to Mozart play, reads what Dazai and Arthur write, so on so forth. I want her to live in a house with Arthur and Isaac, later on, visiting the mansion weekly or every two weeks, happy with her new life.

Sometimes I pair her with Theo, because I think they could help each other, but I think she is fated to be with Isaac and Arthur.

In AUs, I like to imagine Anju as her older friend. Anju does not tolerate a lot of bullshit with Amélie, and would be a bit like a guard dog. But. an unassuming one. She would treat Arthur very harshly until he proves himself. (I am unsure if I ever posted it, but I wrote a few chapters to go with This Au Fic for Isaac week. The second chapter, Anju was supposed to be a witch to help Amélie out after some events [was gonna have Isaac die and then it turn into a reincarnation au thing where they meet again in modern day, and in modern day Anju was gonna be around], and Anju has to help her move forward.)

I've been typing this on and off for a few hours and I am struggling with some details HAHA for now, I will stop here. She's the one OC that has a lot out there for her.

Oh. Amélie is not her 'real' name, but it is now. I am unsure if it is in poor taste or not, but in an attempt to heal she abandoned a lot of her old life. Not Herself, but trying to let go of the past until she could confront it more. She goes by Amélie until the end of her days, and only Sebas and likely Comte know her old name.

╰❧ Anju

-> Fanfics she's been 'in': Training Theo (Theo/Reader)

─❧ Summary: (Vague mentions of parental issues)

OoooOOoooOh Anju....anju....wails.

She is such a complicated Oc for me. She was originally for Shingen in ikes*n (i dont want this on the tags on accident). I still debate if the character she is now still stems from that relationship or not. Because if so, that means she left the past and came back to the present because her and Shingen didn't work out. Not in a TERRIBLE way but probably a sad mutual understanding.

It's either that, or she's just pretty sour from general past relationships not working out.

I like to imagine that she is in her thirties, and that she lives in a neighborhood where everyone knows each other in friendly ways. She is a 'seamstress' just due to how Sengoku has that set up for the Mc. I decied that her grandmother taught her how to sew, and her grandmother owned a small shop to repair peoples clothes and sew clothes for commission as well (i know nothing about how this works so). She would help her grandmother at her shop, and later on when her grandmother passed, she would take over the shop.

As for her parents, I never fully fleshed them out. I just know her mother was constantly comparing herself to other children/people around her, and that their relationship dissolved to the point of Anju refusing to aknowledge her as a mother any longer. The crux of this would cause Anju to move the shop to a different location completely to sever ties. (not move physically, but open another shop elsewhere after funds were saved with the same name).

For Vamp, she relocates her ass to France for Reasons. And here is where it is... well. I don't think a shop like this could exist, but i wish it would. pls spare me from laughs HAHA

The shop I always imagined is the type where the ground floor is the shop, and upstairs is where Anju lives. So upstairs would house her kitchen, living room, and Bedroom and bathroom, a balcony connected to the kitchen would be. great. Lower floor would have the shop, her sewing area, a room to hang up comms and etc, and the 'front' of the shop. Front of the shop is the porch and the actual like...foyer area....of the shop.

She spends a lot of her time sitting in the foyer area at a desk, if she is not actively working on sewing. .....I like to imagine she has a small sitting area set up there for people (children, family, friends, partners, etc) waiting while whoever she is working on measurements and etc with is getting their stuff. With....a lil coffee/tea area....very very small like a coffee maker and some stuff....but cozy vibes... (and she wanted a coffee machine near her while working).

She'll sit on the porch often in the mornings while waiting for customers or going through shop bills and whatever, and that is how she meets Arthur in a modern day setting. By him taking 'Vic' (or whatever pet he is on now) on a walk, Vic escaping, and running up to Anju because he wants pets HAHA.

For first meeting, Anju thinks Arthur is cute, but recognizes the fuckboy tendances. However, i feel like at this point of living as a vampire for so long, Arthur wouldn't be how he is in the game currently. As in, not entirely as self destructive and a smidgen more at peace with himself, but still has the tendencies. She doesn't think too much on the meeting, loves Vic though, and goes from there...

But Arthur doesn't. He gets hung up on her a little, and finds excuses to run into her a bit more. Nothing crazy, but primarily just walking Vic by there and seeing if he can catch her on the porch again, waving, exchanging greetings and pets for Vic. It would turn into him eventually finding an excuse to get some clothing mended, which she can very easily tell is bullshit, but she entertains it because... he's respectful the whole time. She enjoys the company and the innocent flirting.

It comes to a clusterfuck when they spot each other at a bar though. Where he sees how differently she's dressed, where it's clear she's looking for one night stands and nothing else. (He is also alarmed at her smoking HAHA). Arthur doesn't do much with this information, but she immediately tries shutting him out because. Well, she isn't ashamed to have casual sex with others, but she doesn't want the fuckboy tendancies to come back for him. She doesn't want this fake relationship to delve into sex and nothing more. So she puts up walls, and Arthur has to slowly take them down. And it is a rocky thing, because Anju is so independant and refuses to rely on anyone else, so it's a LOT of trouble HAHA a lot of dramatics.

They do fuck, because well they both enjoy sex so why not!!!!! but ah. it's complicated. I think I have a scene of that somewhere. I cannot remember if I have that happen before or after him visiting her home/shop at night when he's drunk. I think it was before.

But Arthur was supposed to go to her place, drunk, because she has such a schedule with her shop/hobbies that it's easy to piece together that she's home, and she essentially lets him stay over in pity because he's wailing about messing up his friendship with Theo.

From there it turns into awkward, more up in the air things. I played with her getting with Arthur only, Theo only, Arthur and Theo, or even Vincent! But the Arthur/Theo subplot would have been too similar to the Isaac/Arthur one in Amélie's story. (Sorry for causing you so much distress, Arthur).

I like to imagine her in her shop. Arthur flirting with her while the neighborhood granny laughs at her attempts to ignore the flirting.

╰❧ Constance

-> Fanfics she's been 'in': Sinking (Gilbert/Reader) [Descriptions of Self Harm], First Time (Gilbert/Reader), Chev comforts Mc

─❧ Summary: (Mentions of self harm, abuse)

Constance....! Is still a running name. I may change it, I may not. I'm unsure about her appearance, I know I want her to have the split hair and to dress in similar colors though, but her eyecolor I am so conflicted on...

But...! Her story is still being fleshed out, and she has changed a lot. She is now strictly for Gilbert, whereas she was supposed to be a flexible oc for either Clavis or Gilbert. (Maybe she still could be?)

So far, her story is still like Emma's so far. her and Rio friends for years, Akatsuki taking her in, etc. In my mind, she doesn't know who her parents are and is somewhat in peace of that.

I've bounced around a lot with her though, to where the Rio and Akatsuki being in her BG makes little sense. i've wanted her to be someone who writes and sings, but does not preform and instead has a friend that preforms for her. Where they have private sessions of Constance singing and exampling some of the dancing to her friend, and later on watching her friend preform the songs and bringing her visions to life. (i like this a lot but it feels...odd.)

I want her carrying a notebook around the palace, filled with her drawings and songwriting. Far in the journal, there is drawings of Gilbert- not because she knows him, but because long before she saw him slinking around Rhodolite and drew him out of facination of how he looked (did not piece together he was a Scary Dude). (would add a lot of fuel to fire if anyone saw those drawings COUGHS)

In another bouncing, I have her as a secret wrtier/artist that writes songs that are never preformed. I thought it would be funny if she wrote the erotica that Jin apparently reads??? I can never fgure out if thats canon or not because i never see it Mentioend in the game.

In both possible backgrounds for her, she is still a quiet and reserved person who suffers from a lot of depression, and struggles with herself a lot. The two toned hair was for fun at first, but now I'm realizing it would probably be a good symbol for her inner issues. How she has a lot of 'darkness' inside of her, that she feels disgusted by and upset with, while there is a purity she wishes she had (but fails to come to terms with how that is unreasonable).

To be paired with Clavis, she was supposed to be much more shy, and his antics were supposed to draw her out of her shell more.

But now it's more solidifies that she will be primarily paired with Gilbert due to the purity/darkness thing. She is a little dramatic in her thoughts with that, and is now a bit more serious toned rather than her shyness being played for antics.

She believes Gilbert over his refusal to 'lie', and that draws her in a lot.

Discussion of self harming/SA, when text is blue I am finished.

Something I am struggling with is that with many Ocs, i often have them go through some sexual trauma just due to it being an outlet for myself (i have also had sexual trauma). This may be why you see some themes of this in some fanfics I write, where there is something the reader is struggling with sexually and the suitor is extremely patient with them- it's usually tied to stuff like this (unsure of how obvious that is since no one ever says anything! which feels like an act of kindness, if it is obvious).

For her, I am struggling with adding that into her background as something that is fairly recent with her. Rio doesn't know, she refuses to tell him, and his fondness of her and constantly...hm...i don't mean this poorly, but building her up to be so 'perfect' sometimes causes a lot of issues when she reflects on herself, and she uses those words against herself often.

I don't know if the self harm would be. Due to that SA event or not. I don't know if this is soemthing that has plagued her for years, or if it spiked as her emotions got out of control.

Gilbert would not know. I don't really care if JP spoilers suggest otherwise, as there are already hints that make it clear he doesn't know Everything (he just knows a Lot). A lot of their relationship would be them struggling with self harm and the SA. A lot of her trust gets put into him (even if she dislikes it), because he doesn't lie to her like others do, and it is a comfort. (blah blah gilbert does lie blah blah)

It's hard to explain their relationship. I assume i'll have more figured out as his route comes out. Right now, she's who I imagine when I write some stuff with him, but not all of it.

With Clavis, the relationship would have been more healthy, and so would she. I think she would still struggle with both things, as it could be used as a mutual understanding when they discuss needing to be loved fully and not half-heartedly.

That is a rough gist of what I have for her? I have been typing this for hours and I am running out of steam.

Annnd....That is that! At least for now. Another detail I will share for all of them is that they are all bi :) All my ocs are always bi.

Again, you guys are free to ask questions. I may update this over time as well. I don't really want criticisms for my ocs though since you guys don't actually deal with them past them popping up as the voice for some reader insert fics. they just sorta rot in my brain and I get comms of them at times.

[scummy-writes]

I've decided that, until I gain more Confidence, I am likely just going to be writing short blurbs about her, her habits, random thoughts about her, etc, onto this character blog.

I don't think I will have full fanfics on there, if I do write any actual fanfics with her name used in them, I will still post it to scummy-writes as usual. (I dont foresee this happening, though).

That's that.

This is an OC-centric blog for @scummy-writes' OC, Constance.

It will be treated as a journaling blog for her and where I will also answer questions, reblog things relating to her from my writing blog, reblog things she may like (photos), as well as post any comms/drawings I have of her. Interaction with other OCs are okay, however I have not managed a blog like this before so <:) there may be hiccups.

She/Her - Paired with Gilbert - Resides in Rhodolite primarily.
