hi !!

OUGH hold on gotta . figure my top 5 chars rq. so many beasts are gonna be left out,,,,

gonna be long too so. uh. readmore

CHARACTERS !!!!!

Benrey from HLVRAI !!!! HES SO CREATURE! AND SO GENDER !!! he can be headcanoned as like any creature and it works bc he’s just. he’s not human. he says that pointblank like 15 minutes into ep 1 and it’s ignored but it’s so funny. also he has weird powers! 11/10 beast. spins him in microwave (but it just noclips out to fuck around n get lost in my walls)

C!WILBUR !!!!!! fuck the creator BUT LITERALLY ANY DSMP BURSONA (and also editor!bur) IS GREAT!!!! they’re horrible and great and so fucked up and they all need like. so much help. it’s wonderful. plus almost all of them have baller as hell designs and that’s a good thing to have in any character. there’s so much you can do with him yknow? he can be tragic (he is tragic) he can be just. irredeemable. he can be the most specialest little guy you ever did see. he can be a fucking Simp And a Half or he can be standalone. lots to do. he will always be Brother tho.

antisepticeye babyyy !!!!!! aka one of my first fandom hyperfixations. this dude made me insane and i was like 11 and i Could Not Share This with my family bc. well. sean’s vids exactly known for being ‘for-kids.’ luckily i already tended to draw fucked up bloody creatures with knives and violence n shit so like. subtleish fanart was not remotely out of my range. i think my mom still has one of the horrible bloodied cats w a knife i drew on a massive sticky note pad in her university office. possibly. BUT ANYWAY !!!!! THIS MAN HAD ME IN A CHOKEHOLD WHEN I WAS YOUNGER !!!!!! and still periodically will take over my entire brain for a few days when the rotating microwave that is my brain decides it’s his turn to be spun around

LILLIAN FROM THE CATS OF TANGLEWOOD FOREST !!!!! fucking. probably semi-niche. no idea how much traction this book has. but my dad loves it and introduced it to me when i was like 8 and i have not let go of it since. i’d read it when i got anxious at night n couldn’t sleep bc. magic. and fae. and cats! it was peak fiction to me as a kid and ngl still really is it’s a fucking baller book. lillian my beloved <3 i need to draw her actually she deserves fanart

SARAH WILLIAMS !!!! labyrinth also has me in a chokehold. no idea when i first was introduced to it but im 98% sure its my moms fault and i can blame her for making me insane abt it. i remember she once said when she was younger n watched the movie she was hella jealous of the actress for sarah for Getting To Dance With David Bowie. like. real as hell. also sarah bbygirl she is so sassy and . well. teenage larper. she is literally a larper in a park. chefs kiss to her

notable mentions: veronica sawyer, literally all of benchtrio, meg (n also aunt beast) from a wrinkle in time (FUCK THE MOVIE. THEY FUCKED IT UP SO BAD IM SO >:( >:( AT THEM), doctor whos 10 n 11 n 12, fritti tailchaser, any genloss character really but ranboo will always have my heart (main character, you know how it can be)

OC TIME!!!!

HERUGHRRGRHHHHH MY CHARACTERS !!!!!!

let’s see. i hav a lot. u can read abt (most of) em on my art fight btw (@/ellyssian)

FRITTI!!! (yes i stole its name from fritti tailchaser) (it/its) i torture fritti so bad. its so unwell. ace honey if you read this there is a secret i don’t think i’ve told you abt. uh. be warned i guess. ANYWAY! bbygirl is my favourite chew toy. it’s my first dnd character, n it’s a changeling who fuckin. forgot its a changeling. general backstory: it got separated from its fae family somehow n was homeless in some city. it would use its changing abilities to help it survive and when this was discovered by some of the shadier ppl in the area they would basically commission it to steal shit. it used some random tabaxi nobles face to steal most of the time and when it was finally caught (bbygirl put up a Fight) it was sent to a criminals-as-fighters gladiator ring and that’s pretty traumatic so it’s kinda blocked anything from the age of 14 n down (its uh. it’s like 32 or smn now. its only been out for 4 years). it’s ring burned down at one point n it escaped (presumed dead) now it lives in a remote-ish village hunting n baking (art below is it baking) and trying very hard to avoid any of its triggers. it’s so fucked. i love it. i don’t know too much abt the disorders i think it has but in general my idea is it has some hallucinations (psychosis of some flavor?), v frequent nightmares, panic attacks, and definitely ptsd (or would it be cptsd for fucking. whatever 14 years in a gladiator ring does to you?)

TOMMY !!! (he/him) ngl main thing i like abt tommy is his design :3 i just really wanted a kidcore character yknow? and then i gave him Issues And Problems. of course. so he’s a silly little guy with Hella Abandonment Issues. he wears bright colors partly bc he yknow. does actually like em. but also bc in his mind if you’re dressed in bright colors and patterns and accessories, they’ll always be able to see you, and can’t leave you behind. well. not by accident at least. and doesn’t that hurt the most? when you’ve done all you can to stay by their side, to make sure they can never lose you unless they try, and yet you are once again left behind, feeling like that little kid at the grocery store when your parents forgot you, forever. one of these days they’ll keep you around. you hope. (also, tho this isn’t really canon per se, i played a oneshot using him and the premise was we’d all died and were sent to some fucked up afterworld, and we had to figure out How we’d died and i went fuck it he killed himself. anyway !!!!)

REMI !!!! (aka remnants of history !!!!) (he/she) my other dnd character i made and then just. didn’t. do anything with. remi is v strong and not very smart, and really really REALLY wants to be an archaeologist. she wants it so bad. main reason is he wants to be known for Something. making a historical breakthrough? that sounds like a good way to do that! protecting people (shes technically a paladin. no idea what god she’d serve tho)? also a good way! she just wants to be known for something. he was never exactly singled out (for good or bad) at home, and now that he’s out in The Real World he wants to make up for that lack of attention. he just needs Someone.

NERI CALLISIAN!!! (they/he/it) neri is my silly little mc smp character who is a siren (based on ghost/ribbon eels appearance-wise, based loosely on eels as a whole in terms of abilities/disabilities). he likes birds and animals and such a Lot and has made a little aviary where he keeps all his birds :) he also enjoys exploring a lot. in siren terms it’s the equivalent of a lil guy who is fresh out of college or smn. left their school (lived in semi brackish waters all its life) and went up the river to explore. they’re a bit lonely but befriended a local witch and their pixie friend and they drag the two on lil adventures :3 neri is yellow/blue colorblind and really should have glasses but their entire school has fucked up blurry vision so they think everyone’s like that (theyre not). also neri, due to being a siren, has an affinity for singing and also generally just likes it so when out n about he’ll just be humming and such and animals will go O^O ? OwO !! and follow him. the pics are neri vibing w a duck and then also i put it thru a filter that supposedly simulates yellow-blue colorblindness :3

BLANK !!!!! (they/them) oughhhhhb blakn,,,,,,, one of my first like. storied ocs (got one hell of a revamp in like 2022) and i love them so much. so blank is a lil guy who i originally made for camp cgp, an event that the crankgameplays discord server held every (northern hemisphere) summer. it was v cool and i had a blast ngl, 10/10 for that first year. got scared the subsequent ones tho n left. blank was a part of. well. camp blank, one of the sub camps in Camp CGP, which we basically turned into the cryptic, lost, haunted camp full of fucked up cryptids n creatures. blank, like everyone else, used to be human. that was before they got a little too close to the signs that said to stay away. once you start to hear the static, it’s too late. he’s got you. and you are sure as hell not getting back out. you become morphed. corrupted. you can’t go in the sun; it hurts too much, the ashen tears trailing down your cheeks begin to burn anew. the night is when you feel alive again. for the most part, blank is a merciful ruler. bonfires, chants, feasts… the fun activities you’d expect at a summer camp are fairly common. there’s a lake nearby. sometimes you all go night swimming. the gongoozler sometimes comes up to play with you all. it can be lovely. but then, someone will get too jumpy, too homesick, too bored, too something, and they’ll try to run, and you will never see them again. that is, provided you ignore the fresh new roast at the next weeks feast. the static hurts your ears sometimes. you feel a little lost every so often when you realise you can’t see. you used to be able to. you have to force yourself to stay. you know the consequences of fleeing. it’s better to stay. it’s better to stay. it’s better to stay. stay in the static, in the moonlight, in the cheerful (sometimes too cheerful) voices rising high in the night. in the morning you will go to sleep and you will dream of going home and you will wake up and know you cannot. never. you are trapped, forever stuck in this hellish limbo.
