Masterlist!

I'm Whispereons and I mainly write yandere Genshin Impact fics. The SAGAU is my long time obsession if it wasn't obvious.

For ease of convenience I will have this masterlist pinned with my works, taglist, and tags used on my blog.

Currently I don't have any rules to abide by. I enjoyed all the comments, reblogs, asks and submissions I received thus far!

Just a warning for anyone new, I advise you to make sure your blog has some form of personalization. Like a profile pic, a sentence saying hello in your bio or even just a single post saying you're human will do. It's to prevent you from getting the report and block combo when I do my spam/porn bot purges.

Venti/Barbatoes x EOS!Reader: Planned, Protection or Possession?, Control

General Yandere Posts:

Male yandere x fem reader: Insecurity

Tags to use to navigate my posts!

#whisp's amateur work - all of my writing

#sagau oracle au - everything related to my oracle!reader (was implemented late so the first tag is more reliable)

#a whispered response - me answering asks/submissions

#whisp's collection - my personal collection of my fav authors, artists, and anything else. My mindless reblogs aren't tagged with anything to avoid cluttering the tag system.

#peering into the whisp - if I get personal asks, this is the tag I would use

If you regularly sends asks with some way to identify you then I usually give you a tag too.

My taglist for my Oracle!Reader:

If you are in italics, that means I couldn't tag you! That could be due to you being shadow banned or having your settings set to hide you from being searched. I will keep this master list updated with each new user, I truly don't mind tagging you all. It's honestly a nice feeling.

TroutClan Introduction below!

Silverwatcher formed many friendships throughout her youth as a wandering rogue. She kept the tradition of her Clan ancestry alive: by forming a Clan with her friends! They went on many whacky adventures, getting into trouble with Twolegs, even outsmarted a pack of wolves! But when most of them became senior warriors, with three friends called the Tricky Three joining them soon after (Violetkit, Tempestkit, and Flykit), Silverwatcher decided "all this traveling is fun, but let's find a permanent home to settle down & think about our future".

...And thus TroutClan became official! Once they settled into their camp, this was when Shiveringpaw (a RiverClan apprentice from seasons ago) met Silverwatcher in her dream, guiding her to the Moonshore, their source to StarClan, to receive her nine lives.

[hooffuloftootsierolls]

First time posting my writing on Tumblr ajsdhjsahksdhjf i don't take writing requests, it has to come to me naturally, i just got brave enough to post this. morals are so complicated man

A little bit of background info - "Adam and Emily see each other as family" my beloved - Like Charlie, Emily was created as an infant and had a childhood. Sera was mainly her guardian, but Archangel Michael or Adam would visit her or supervise her when Sera was too busy - Emily is referred to as (the) Silverstar, in the same way Lucifer is (the) Morningstar.

I don't have a title for this it's just "unnamed Emily and Adam writing"

Trigger Warnings: Adam, swearing, mention of murder and blood

“Kid, Adam is busy right now. He’ll talk to you after.” Lute continued to skillfully maneuver Emily back towards the entrance of the lobby in the Exorcist’s building whenever she would try to skirt past the Exorcist.

“Out of- I’m older than you- why won’t you move- let me- I’m trying to-“ Emily tripped over her words as she tried once again to shove past Lute and get to the double doors that lead to the meeting hall. Lute’s pushback was gentle, but Emily could feel the strong muscles of her arm through her shoulder-length glove. She felt the hairs along her arms raise— how had she been so oblivious? Adam had a whole flock of uniformed, lean girls and Emily had never even once wondered why they were all so formal and fit. She felt like such an idiot.

“You’ll have a chance to talk with him after.” Lute repeated more firmly.

“After his army kills more souls?!” Emily cried out. “I want to talk to him to prevent that!”

“Kind words have never worked.” Lute scoffed. “You cannot make Adam call off the Exterminations. Sera has already approved of the mid-year.”

Emily put her hands on Lute’s shoulders, putting her face right in front of Lute’s. The blank white eyes of the lieutenant’s mask widened in surprise. “Please, just listen to me! Those are souls, just like ours! They don’t deserve-“

“Silverstar, with all due respect, sinners are not like our souls. They earned their damnation. They had their chances to reform in life, and they didn’t.”

“But Charlie-“

“That repulsive Hellspawn has gotten into your head!” Lute spat. Emily shrunk back, regretting having brought up the princess. “Her and that traitor girlfriend of hers! They’re trying to corrupt you! To corrupt Heaven’s values! Redemption is not possible, this is the only way to prevent-“

“Fuck, Lute, I was looking everywhere for you-“ The door swung open as a familiar face stepped out. Adam cut himself off, mouth still hanging open, as he met eyes with Emily.

“Oh, thank the Father!” Lute had her guard down in her momentary surprise, and Emily nimbly swept past her, running up to Adam and grabbing him by the hand. “Adam, please, I’m begging you, you need to cancel the Exterminations, I can’t bear to think of—“ Emily choked on what she was about to say, you murdering more human souls, and quickly searched for an alternative— “anybody getting hurt, not if it can be stopped!”

Adam regarded Emily. His mask had never given way to much emotion, and yet the conflict in his face had never been more evident. His expression seemed to flash through the five stages of grief at least 5 times before he sighed and pulled his hand from Emily’s. “Nobody’s getting hurt.” He mumbled.

Emily felt her shoulders sag with relief. “Oh thank you, thank you! I was so worried-“

“Nobody’s getting hurt ever again. We’re going to go down there and make sure those disgusting demon cunts never make it to the pearly gates.”

Emily let out a cry of anguish. “No! No no, you can’t! You can’t hurt them! Don’t hurt Charlie! Don’t hurt her friends! Don’t hurt her people!”

“Sinners aren’t people!” Adam snarled. Emily backed up as the first man unfurled his golden wings. “Sinners lost their humanity when they committed the heinous fucking acts that landed them down there! You can’t hurt them, there’s nothing to fucking hurt!”

“That’s not true!” Emily tried to stifle tears. “They made mistakes, but they’re still people, and people can always change!”

“They can’t change what they did.” Lute added coldly.

Emily wrapped her arms around herself, digging her fingers into her arms. “So how are you any better? You can’t fight fire with fire!”

Adam opened his mouth, face swelling with anger. At Emily’s flinch, Adam closed his mouth again and took a breath, rubbing his temples as he tried to recollect his thoughts. “You just wouldn’t understand. Sinners are hellbent on causing misery. You haven’t been in Hell like me-“

“And how many times have you been in Hell? How long have you been killing without telling me?” Emily curled her lip. “Were the hands you cradled me with when I was just created the same hands I see now, stained with the blood of thousands of damned souls?”

For the first time in this exchange, Adam physically winced. Emily heard his teeth grind together from under his helmet. He opened his mouth and spoke slowly. “There was going to be an uprising.” Emily blinked at him, eyes widening. “They were trying to put together a rebellion. Their demonic magic was growing fucking stronger by the second, and Sera wanted a solution.” Adam balled his hands into a fist. “There was only one way to keep Heaven safe.”

“It- That’s not-” Emily felt a warm tear leak from her eye, emotion welling up inside her heart. Lute walked past her and over to Adam as he put a hand on the door handle.

“I need to prepare. We can talk about this shit after.”

As Adam swung the door open and allowed his lieutenant the courtesy of heading into the meeting hall first, Emily stared after him, expression vacant. “I won’t forgive you.”

Adam’s shoulders rose and his feathers puffed ever so slightly. He didn’t turn to look at her. “Okay.”

He followed Lute through the door and shut it behind him, leaving Emily alone.

Emily stared at the door. In a bright flash of pure light, three white wings stretched out to their full expansion, and three eyes widened. Emily let out a snarling cry as she transfigured to her full angelic form and backed away from the door. She had never felt such rage consume her. “Why does nobody listen to me?!” She spat. She turned heel and fled, fled out the door of the Exorcist’s quarters and took to the sky. Her own feet, her own wings, it seemed to be the only thing she could control anymore. She felt hopeless against her superiors, against their ideals, against her own emotions. Everything she had known seemed to be one big lie. The world was not black and white— so why were their solutions? Not every sinner was an irredeemable spirit of sin and destruction, and not every angel was pure, virtuous and clean. Adam had been playing saint all this time and lying to Emily’s face. She wiped off her eyes as she entered the rotunda to make her way to her quarters, before she collided with someone in the entrance.

“Sorry-“ Emily cut herself off as she looked up at the older seraph.

“Emily! Where were you?” Sera asked tersely.

“With Adam…” she sighed. “I just… I wanted him to… I don’t want him to go through with the Exterminations…” She looked away from Sera’s gaze. “I can’t stand the thought of him…”

Sera sighed. “I know. I don’t like it either.” She guided Emily out of the doorway and into the rotunda.

“Then why do you allow it?” There wasn’t much challenge to the question, rather a forlorn attempt to grasp at some kind of explanation.

“I never would have, had it not been required.” Sera’s answer was pretty much the same as what Adam offered.

Emily sniffed. She swallowed back the response “there has to be another way”, not interested in starting another argument. Besides, Sera had already told her what happens to those who question too much. Instead, she brought up what else was now weighing on her mind. “…I said I wouldn’t forgive him.”

“Hm?” Sera raised an eyebrow.

“I told Adam I wouldn’t forgive him after he came back from the Exterminations.” Emily looked at the ground. “But I want to be able to forgive him. If I refuse to forgive, I’m refusing the idea of people changing.” She squeezed her hands together. “I know he can change. I just don’t want more people to get hurt before then.”

The expression that flashed through Sera’s face was torn and pained. Emily guessed she should get used to loved ones looking at her like that. “I… I do want you to forgive him.” She began. “Though I’m not sure how to feel about your reasoning. People can change, but…” She sighed. “That does not mean they are forgivable.”

Emily grimaced. Why did it have to be so complicated? “Only time will tell.” She hummed. Sera didn’t answer. With a sad glance, Emily made her way past Sera and to her living quarters. She wasn’t going to give in easily. Once Adam got back, they would talk and they would figure things out.

I wish I had the same motivation level to write something for my OC/Canon ship for Octopath that I did for my Pokemon OC/Canon ship, but remembering how I was treated in the Pokemon yume community, I don't want to touch any yume community with a 10 foot pole. That's also why I don't post about Silverstars nearly as much as I did for Truesmileshipping (even if the Octopath yume scene is pretty small/non-existent from a glance).

If there's anything I've learned and experienced, is that people need to be more honest about whether they're actually OK with doubles or not, because it's better and more mature to just admit that you're not OK with doubles, and you've set those boundaries/catered your space accordingly, than pretend that you're OK with doubles but you're actually holding in a lot of resentment and jealousy towards other doubles, who you claim to be friends with.

Random rant, but it's something that still bothers me to this day because something that I used to love and engage with more freely has been completely ruined by people who took that shit way too seriously and it's just. UGH.

[silverstar-8]

Welcome to my blog!

I'm SilverStar, but just call me Silver. Star is more like a surname than anything.

Proshipper! - Ship and let ship

Rules on this blog:

You can ask me anything, but I'm not taking requests. I've barely return to write anything, so requests would be too much

I'll probably write here only headcanons or just some silly posts, but it might change

If I do headcanons, nsfw will be also included

I dunno what else write in rules right now if I don't do requests, so for now it's all XD

DNI:

Rude comments will be put into hellfire and account blocked

If I don't answer the ask, don't be mad. I don't have to reply to all of this

As I said higher, antis and minors stay away

---

Some additional info:

I'm writing a fic self-insert x Lucifer (Hazbin) right now. Probably will publish first chapters soon on ao3. I'll just give the link to ao3 here if I do this (it might be never finished, depends how long my obsession holds. And motivation)

If I decide to write some headcanons with my self-insert, they'll be nonbinary. Like me :D

I'm an artist too, but for now I'm focusing on writing. But I might try to figure out how to draw Lulu (it's hard, never tried this style XD)

Also, maybe in the future I'll do something something more on this blog. But for now Lucifer entered my brain and won't leave

Okay, I think it is all for now! If something changes, I'll just edit this post!

Varan Crassus (DU) Introduction

Introduction to my DU (the one I write most of my fic around).

Varan Crassus - 36 at the time of the Absolute Crisis

Tiefling (Mephistopheles)

Born in Baldur's Gate

Paladin (Oathbreaker) 

Bhaalspawn *While played as DU, Varan is not the same kind of Bhaalspawn as the canon Durge. He is a second generation descendant of a Bhaalspawn.

Backstory below the cut: CW: abuse, childhood neglect/trauma, torture, self-harm (suicide attempt), dissociation

I've redacted some parts of his backstory, but this gives an overview. -His parents were both human, making his appearance as a Tiefling a surprise. His father was a fisherman and his mother a baker. His father was lost at sea when Varan was very young. His mother resented him and was abusive.

-His mother eventually sold him to wealthy Baldurian patriar, the Crassus family. He was married to the youngest daughter of the family, Mia Crassus. 

-The Crassus family had created and sponsored the paladin Order of the Crest, an order of knights that sought to protect Baldur’s Gate from inhuman threats - things like monstrosities, dragons, underdark incursions to the surface, the general D&D threats. While the founding of the Crest was for a just cause, under the control of the Crassus family it became a force to extort power over their enemies and gain wealth and status. 

-Varan learned, once indoctrinated, that the Crassus family were warlocks serving Mephistopheles. They had sought him out for his heritage to use him in rituals to appease their patron. He later learned his Bhaalspawn heritage was also part of the reason the family kept him close. 

-After a conflict between Varan and Mia over a sacrifice for Mephistopheles, Varan was sent to live in the Order Hall for the Crest and made to fight for them exclusively, under the supervision (and abuse) of Mia’s older brother Arden. 

-During his service in the Crest, Varan met Kalius, a lycanthrope Silverstar of Selune who had come to seek out a threat Selune had sent a vision of. Varan and Kalius fell in love, even got married, though in secret since Varan was still married to Mia and the Crassus family kept control over Varan’s life. Kalius attempted to get Varan to turn on the Crassus family, but due to some history Varan never shared and his trauma at the hands of the family, Varan kept refusing to avoid angering the family. When Varan eventually decided to try and leave the Crest with Kalius, Arden caught wind of the scheme and captured both of them. 

-Arden orchestrated a tortuous ordeal, forcing Kalius to shift while Varan was restrained. Arden had hoped Kalius would kill Varan in this brutal execution, but Kalius instead chose to smash his own head into the bars of the cell to kill himself before he had fully transformed. Arden left Varan chained with Kalius’s body for over a day. Varan’s dissociation after this event left him loyal to the Crassus family again.  Unknown to Varan, Kalius did not die here and was imprisoned by the Crassus family.

-8 years later, Varan had remained devoted to the Crest and the Crassus family since Kalius’s death, including helping to orchestrate the retrieval of the Crown of Karsus with Enver Gortash. Varan wasn’t privy to the details of the Absolute’s Plan, however, he realized something big was about to happen and decided to try and use the trust he had earned to figure out what it was and to finally kill Mia and Arden. After failing to undercover the plot when Gortash realized Varan was disloyal, he ended up brazenly attacking Mia in their home and strangling her. As he moved to go and find Arden to finish his vengeance before killing himself, he was snatched by the nautiloid.

@moxidi-fanarts-and-sketches‘s Ocartober day 11

Improvement

I wanted to show off one of the redesigns I’ve been busy with ^_^

[liminal-psych]

First impressions of Arthurian lore, part 2 (again copied from my Facebook posts because I only just started using Tumblr again, this one’s from Nov 25th):

Reading up on Arthurian legend, and…

There are surprisingly few resources of any kind out there on the development of the stories themselves. No books for public consumption, just expensive textbooks and research papers.

Plenty of books retelling the legends in one way or another. Plenty of books on ”who was the real King Arthur / where is the real Camelot” etc, trying to determine historical basis for the stories. Some pagany stuff deriving spirituality and magic from Arthurian lore.

But way fewer other resources than I expected.

And my (rather advanced, thank you) Google skills failed to find me a recommendations list for translations of the various source texts. Which just seems strange. Do people just not engage with the source material with Arthurian legend? Is it just endless derivations and fanfic of fanfic of fanfic? This is not bad, this is fascinating, but it’s also very weird to me.

(More recently, since originally writing this, I have learned that people are still engaging with the source material, but it’s apparently just “10 gay people on Tumblr” doing so, to quote oldtvandcomics.)

And way fewer Facebook groups than I expected. I found one, the Arthurian Society, which I finally posted to asking for translation recommendations and resource recommendations. They were very very helpful.

(Note: More recently I have discovered that apparently the place for resources on getting started with Arthurian lit is Tumblr, of all places.)

It looks like the Camelot Project will be where I exist from now on while I’m in this hyperfocus. I’ve barely scratched the surface of it but it’s already super helpful.

I was resisting the urge to make the resource I’m looking for, a timeline of what characters and lore elements were developed when and by whom. I’m going to take notes as I read through the source material and try to make it for myself, whether or not I share it publicly in any form. I begin to see why people haven’t done so, though, as it is *complex*.

So what do I read first? I want to start at the beginning. But that’s harder to figure out than you might think.

At the start, we’ve got 1138, Geoffrey of Monmouth’s History of the Kings of Britain. That’s the true “beginning” of Arthurian literature.

But if we want to look back further, Geoffrey’s sources were Gildas's sixth century De Excidio Brittaniae (On the Ruin of Britain) and Nennius's ninth century Historia Brittonum (History of the Britons). Gildas gave us Vortigern and Aurelius Ambrosius. Nennius gave us Saxon chieftains Hengest and Horsa, was the first to mention "Arthur the soldier," the "dux bellorum" (leader of battles), and also gives us a fellow named Ambrosius, who uncovers two fighting dragons under the foundation of his tower and prophesies the political future of Britain (sound familiar? Geoffrey incorporates him into the History as “Merlin Ambrosius”). Plus probably a bunch of Welsh material that Geoffrey never cites, for more on Merlin and Arthur.

Resources before Geoffrey are just brief mentions of Arthur. Merlin, on the other hand, has a wealth of pre-Galfridian material.

In addition to the History, Geoffrey also wrote two pieces about Merlin: Prophetiae Merlini (which was used for long afterwards by British politics in the same way as people have referenced Nostradamus, to attempt to predict or legitimize political events by saying it was predicted by Prophetiae Merlini), and Vita Merlini, a poem about Merlin’s life.

There’s Merlin Ambrosius of Nennius’s writing, and then there’s the Myrddin of early Welsh poetry. He gets called Merlin Silverstar at times to differentiate from Merlin Ambrosius, though you might have guessed that the two got merged into one figure pretty quick, the Merlin we now know of in modern Arthurian lore.

Then there are these six Welsh poems. The manuscripts that the poems are found in post-date Vita Merlini by over 100 years, but Welsh linguists have used orthographic evidence to show that the poems themselves are decidedly older than the manuscript, and may predate Geoffrey’s work as a result.

The poems are “Yr Afallennau" (The Apple Trees), "Yr Oianau" (The Greetings), "Ymddiddan Myrddin a Thaliesin" (The Dialogue of Myrddin and Taliesin), "Cyfoesi Myrddin a Gwenddydd ei Chwaer" (The Conversation of Myrddin and his Sister Gwenddydd), "Gwasgargerdd Fyrddin yn y Bedd" (The Diffused Song of Myrddin in the Grave), and "Peirian Faban" (Commanding Youth).

(When we say “poems” in this period of literature, we’re talking stuff like Beowulf. Novella length stuff. 50, 100 pages of lengthy lines and the like. So these are small books in their own right.)

And then of course there’s the Mabinogion, which was compiled into a manuscript much later than Geoffrey’s time but comes from earlier Welsh oral traditions which likely predate Geoffrey. There are apparently elements of the Mabinogion that are in Arthurian legends.

So do I start with the Mabinogion? The six Welsh poems about Merlin? Nennius and Gildas? Or Geoffrey of Monmouth?

Probably gonna start with Geoffrey, because it’s easy enough to find, and in fact free on the Camelot Project (though the formatting may drive me mad and lead me to get an ebook translation, apparently the Penguin Classics version is perfectly fine.

//Im sick I think and one time @juliansrichter was sick too and Catalyst had no flaming idea what to do. So I drabbled it out for cute. Plus I really want the soup Rictor is making in this. My coworker gave me some a few weeks ago with chiles from her home town that she brought all the way from Mexico. It was so fucking good. I may try making some over the weekend.

Julian is juliansrichter this is a fan drabble take my fan love Julian!

It all started one day with a sniffle, and that escalated to a cough.

Catalyst had initially thought Julian was fine. Obviously, otherwise Rictor and Shatterstar would have looked worried. But the coughing became deeper and raspier. The sniffles louder. Hovering near Julian’s side of the room he watched his brother burrow deeper under the blankets, trembling slightly. “Julian??” Fingers grazing the blankets nervously.

No answer.

“Julian??” He inches closer, crouching by the bed hand gingerly touching where he thought Julian’s head was. “Star??”

A grunt and a groan later, Julian Silverstar Richter’s head emerged. Curls scattering as he glared at that stupid stupid face. “Wut?”

“Are you, alright?? You seem very cold....”

“M’ sick ah tink.” 

Eyes wide Catalyst was on his feet and out the door before Julian could grab him.

“Papa!!! Father!! Julian is ill!!!”

Four hours later Cat’s still hovering by the couch where Julian was sprawled out. Buried under five heavy blankets. There were mutters of ‘stop staring at me thats creepy’ and ‘im not dying stop’. But otherwise Catalyst just kept up a vigil. 

Nervous. How sick was sick?? Was it very badly sick?? Or common cold like in commercials sick?? Either way he didn’t like how Julian had shivered until the cold medicine had taken affect. Or the way he had coughed and his voice was all scratchy and rough. Not smooth like he knew it was. Fumbling with the knitting needles he ties off another mitten for Julian. Now if his hands got cold he’d-

“god- dammit! cat m’ not gunna deh!” Julian groaned, one eye peeking open. “papaaaa make f‘ea ‘eaavee me a’onnee”

“Julian, I made you mittens are your hands col-”

“He has a cold, flea! He isnt dying! Come help with this soup.” Rictor’s voice called from the kitchen. “You’ve been hovering in there all day!”

“Do not worry Julian I have been reassured by papa this chicken and chile soup is a potent cure.” 

 Popping into the kitchen he leaned up on his toes to see into the big pot on the stove. Chicken simmering and breaking apart in chunks. Coriander, garlic, onion,chiles, and corn simmering alongside it in the broth. It smelled fantastic and he couldn’t wait to try some too. There was enough here for an army.

“Ah! Back! Its not finished yet!” Dodging a spoon Cat jostled jovially against Rictor before the older man hip checked him away from the stove. “Get the dishes cleaned up.”

Virgil Fic Recs

I wanted to write something new, but life has just thrown a three-pronged attack in my direction and muses are responding by curling up into a defensive ball and not letting me in, so to go alongside the list of Virgil fics I wrote, here are a list of Virgil fics I did not write but greatly enjoy anyway.  As always, only complete fics are listed.

Fic Recs: Scott!Whump

So I’ve been asked for Scott!whump fic recs a couple of times now, so figured I might as well throw my favourites out here to share with anyone interested.

Some of these aren’t solely Scott whump, but they’re all Scott getting hurt or into some sort of trouble or angsty, and they’re all fics I highly enjoyed reading!  Mix of FFN and AO3 in here.

I’m terrible at remembering names (author or fic), and almost as bad at bookmarking/favouriting them.  I know there are fics I can vaguely recall as being amazing that I just can’t find, and if/when I do, I’ll add them to the list. Update 17/7/20: someone threw one of these ‘I remember it but I couldn’t find it’ fics in the notes so that’s in here now.

I only recommend complete fics, because abandoned fics are my personal bane and the only way to guarantee avoiding them is to stick to completed fics!  That’s not to say I don’t read ongoing works, but unless it’s absolutely out of this world amazing, you won’t find me recommending any.  Just in case.

WC Ideas: Apprentice Ceremony

in order of appearance ft. silver(star) erni_sot [insta] flutter(paw) disgustingfurry [insta] thistletuft nimbacinus[insta]

silver was made silverstar and flutterheart flutterpaw for the purposes of this comic. if you want to possibly see your character in one of these lore comics, you can dm me your cat’s references to my insta claw_caps.

wolfbyte282 [reddit] commented about jayfeather’s stick being a possible means to a rudimentary writing system, here it’s still a bit more than rudimentary being used for it’s original(ish) purpose to mark the journey into adulthood. they make a singular mark once apprenticed and complete it into an “x” when they’ve earned their warrior name. however i can definitely see it expanding into having more distinct symbols, as cats attempt to visualize their world through careful scratches. with the implementation of paint, the more common colors would likely be used in the same way as scratches are, and they could bring their ideas to life through color. i’d see them as being very pictorial, as it seems as though a lot of their other stuff is learnt through oral history, and so their depictions would carry with them stories that would be passed down to the young cats of the clan.

the background text is just the basic apprenticing speech, but it felt a bit funky to leave the background entirely plain, and there’s no way in hell i was going to actually draw one.

single panels below, as well as quick ref sheets i did for each character.

Victorious AU

So I’ve been thinking of messing around with a Victorious AU that’s similar to the Burlesque AU I thought of around a year or so ago in that It’s basically a massive modern au with all my OCs involved somehow. And as I recently got a new phone that comes with a pen and has a drawing section in the notes, I figured I’d draw the OCs that star in the AU! Some of them don’t look as they normally would, though, because they had to be turned into fully-human characters! At most that means their teeth or eyes have changed. I’ll eventually do a headshot for all my ocs, but these were the ones I wanted to do for now. Here we go!

Ashton Fairweather: Dancer/Stunt Double, Junior (3rd year)

Ashton is homoromantic asexual & is crushing on/ eventually ends up with Kenny McCormick, a singer in their grade. His mom used to teach dance at the school. He prefers ballet and pole dancing and is vice-captain of the cheer team. He and Jasper used to be dance partners.

Jasper Wells: Dancer-> Songwriter/Guitar player, Junior (3rd year)

Jasper is homoromantic demisexual & is in a polyamorous relationship with Adrien Agreste, an actor/piano player in his grade, and recently graduated guitar player/singer/songwriter Luka Couffaine. Jasper starts off as a dancer at the school, but after a certain incident that completely destroys his vocal cords & affects his breathing, he turns to writing songs and playing guitar. He and Ashton used to be dance partners. His friend Neeks is trying to help him dance again.

Yoru Yukimura: Dancer/Actor, Junior (3rd year)

Yoru is demiromantic asexual & eventually ends up with Shirou Fubuki, a singer/songwriter in his year. He’s new transfer student to the school and he has an odd knack for being able to read people with ease. His singing isn’t amazing but it’s enough for him to pass classes. He still dances after his leg gets injured, but it’s harder and he can’t do as many hard-core dances. Partners with Shirou for pretty much everything involving performances and hates how protective Natsume, his older brother, is some times.

Natsume Yukimura: Actor, Senior (4th year)

(first I’d like to offer apologies for his face looking a bit weird, my hand didn’t agree with me that day) Natsume is bi and currently stuck between crushes on his best friends Haruka and Toshiro. He is Yoru’s older brother and pretty protective over him. He's a good actor, but no one really knows why he goes to a performing arts school when his passion is clearly baking. He’s also great in the make-up courses thanks to his skill at decorating cakes.

Neeks: Dancer/Singer, Junior (3rd year)

Neeks is demiromantic/demisexual & in a sort-of-romantic relationship with Plagg, a dancer/actor in his grade. It’s complicated. No one knows Neeks’ real name and he’s sort of like Jasper’s big brother after Jasper’s incident. He is working with Jasper to help him get back into dancing. He and Plagg are dance partners and his singing isn’t half bad. Adores wolves more than anything.

Haruka Hamasaki: Singer/Costume Designer, Senior (4th year)

Haruka is straight & one of Natsume’s best friends. She doesn’t have a crush on him yet but they’re super close and eventually date in college. Her passion is costume designing and she’s the best in their grade. She’s also a pretty good singer, but she prefers the costume department. Is like the mother of the group and can always be found either doing something or helping someone out.

Hurricane Lantern: Mermaid Performances/Singer, Senior (4th year)

Hurricane is demiromantic/demisexual & crushing super hard on his best friend Tyler Ridgemount, an actor/ director in their grade. Hurricane got into the school via singing but his true passion is mermaid performances. He practically lives and breathes swimming and is captain of the swim team. At some point his relationship with Ty becomes strained and he decides to put his heart on his sleeve one last time before they graduate. He doesn’t plan to stick around after graduation.

Koray Storm: Actor/Tech Theatre, Senior (4th year)

Koray is demiromantic homosexual & crushing on Yuusei Fudo, an actor in their grade. He spends more time on the tech team than he does acting but he doesn’t mind. He’s a bit of a troublemaker but has a heart of gold. Spends his free time riding around on his motorcycle and visiting the local orphanages.

Hiraku Kurosawa: Tech Theatre, Senior (4th year)

Hiraku is demiromantic asexual & eventually crushes on his friend Yuusaku Fujiki, a singer/guitar player that’s a sophomore (2nd year). He got into the school by acting but told the teachers flat-out that he really just wanted to work in the technical theatre department. He’s always tinkering with things and can be found covered in oil and grease outside of school. He works at his dad’s mechanic shop and is close friends with Koray. His older sister went missing a few years ago, and this year the case has finally taken a dark turn.

Drakon Silverstar: Actor/Singer, Senior (4th year) 

Drakon is panromantic demisexual & freaks out the second he starts crushing on his friend Varian, a singer/actor/tech theatre kid who is also a freshman (1st year). He likes to joke that he’s half dragon and can often be seen with gold and blue stripes in his hair. Sometimes he’ll even wear contacts w/ dragon pupils and fake fangs. He’s close with the others but sort of became Varian’s support pillar after Varian had a difficult falling-out with his friends and actually helps them reconcile! Puts friendship before crushes every time and has a strained relationship with his family.
