The OOC Blog Description

(Hey, all! I’m Alex, the IRL person behind this blog, here to explain a few things!)

First off, I’m really glad to have you here! These characters are ones I’ve held near and dear to my heart for ~10+ years, and knowing there are people to share them with makes me so excited!

The basic summary is that this is an in-character Pokemon OC blog. I was a lonely kid that spent the majority of my time alone in my room, and a lot of that time was used on daydreaming about being in the Pokemon World with a group of friends that had an unbreakable bond. I wrote a lot of fics back in the day about them (most are still up, but I had to take down a fair chunk of them because they had my deadname or too-personal information that should have never been online in the first place). Every few years, I’ve kind of revamped them and wanted to bring them back, but never did anything with that... until now!

OBSBNIMIUMIS, aka “Official Business Sleepover But Nothing Important Missed If You Missed It Sleepover,” was a concept I created when I was writing this crew for almost every 8th Grade English creative writing assignment. I thought the name was funny and chaotic, which is exactly what I was going for with these guys, and it just kind of... stuck as a staple for the group. I’ve gone through so many names for them (BFF’s Forever, Alter Egos, and probably a lot more that have been lost over the years), none of which I wanted to use again when bringing them back this time. This was the only not-dramatic option I could find, and honestly... I think the chaotic long name still fits.

Curfy Rowan was my self-insert that had twice the confidence and sweetness that I ever had. She and Ash were inseparable until they separated to go on their journeys (although every time they interacted, they were pining like nobody’s business over each other). She went through a wringer of careers as I grew up, and the older I got, the harder it was to decide if I wanted to make her her own separate character, or for her to follow in my footsteps. For now, I’ve kind of decided on a compromise: Curfy is trans, he/him pronouns, but we are not the same person. He is no longer a self insert; just a character that happens to share a first name with me. (Also, Curfy is a nickname; it came from my real last name, and I never found a good in-universe explanation for it, so just... roll with it lol).

(Also I used she/her pronouns at the start of that because I consider old Curfy and new Curfy two separate people in my mind, because Young Curfy was so important to me growing up and I want to preserve her as she was. But on the blog, in character, anything talking about how the crew was when they were younger will refer to him with he/him pronouns!)

Ash Ketchum is an extremely OOC, AU version of him-- don’t try to compare him to the canon version because it’s just going to make you upset lol. I made him so dramatic and sad all the time back in the day, giving him a hundred different tragic backstories for almost every fic I wrote of him. Where the Anime Ash was confident, excitable, and reckless, My Ash was nervous, easily triggered into a breakdown, and just a sad kid (tell me you needed therapy really badly as a child without actually saying you needed therapy really badly as a child jdlkjfs). For OBS, I’m mixing the two versions: a reckless, brash kid who grew up and mellowed out as more and more things happened to him.

Troy Barak... *Sigh*. Troy’s initial characterization was just Troy Bolton from High School Musical put into the Pokemon World to be childhood friends with Ash. It was a hyperfixation for a while, and as I still to this day do with hyperfixations, I mixed it with my at-the-time main special interest. I think he was supposed to be his own AU, but I liked him enough that I guess I kept adding him in with the others. To the point where I actually forgot for years that Troy wasn’t originally an OC. And when that hit me like a train, I realized I had to change his last name, lest he be forever associated with a man nothing like him anymore. I think Barak means lightning or something in Greek...?

But anyway, after the initial warp-the-character-until-the-canon-version-is-dead, Troy was kind of a punching bag for chaos and bullying. There... really wasn’t much to him that I can remember. Where Ash was Curfy’s love interest, Troy was Turner’s, in that “they hate each other but secretly love each other” kind of way. Back then, you couldn’t have Troy without Turner. But now, I’ve fleshed him out into a hot-headed, responsible guy. He’ll probably develop more as this blog goes on, and I, for one, am very excited.

Turner Imin was originally my best-imaginary-friend, who later became a character in everything I did when I got a bit too old for imaginary friends. She and I were actually inseparable, so of course I had to add her to my stories! I couldn’t leave her behind! At first, she was kind of a mix of Misty and Brock: hot headed and kinda violent, but also immediately flirting with any cute guy in sight. And she was the absolute source of the chaos in the crew. If anyone had a “LOLZ RANDUM!!1!” phase growing up, that was basically her.

In this, she’s still absolutely chaotic, but has grown up like the others and mellowed out a bit. She grew out of the “flirt with every boy ever” and into “oh my god I’m a lesbian,” though she still teases Troy to hell and back; now, actually, she might do it more, because he’s grown confident enough to fire them right back at her.

The main point of this blog is just to have fun and spend some time with my old friends again. I might write some fics based on this AU-- I actually have a few ideas already --so let me know if that’s something you’d be interested in.  BUT, I hope you have fun getting to know my characters in the mean time!

Character and Relationship Backstory and an update from me

Hey y'all! I have an update on where I've been at the end of this post for those of y'all who have been following Highschool Casualties and are wondering where I went, but if you've just stumbled across this I don't want to throw a long and random explination at ya!

Haven’t read the main story yet?

Heres the Tumblr Masterpost and the Ao3 link!

The characters

Damien Haas

16, sophomore in high school. Hardcore musical theater kid from grades 4-8. Loves to sing and shit. Got quite a few bigger roles early on. Things got busy freshman year, so he had to put things on hold.

(Favorite musical is probably falsettos or something idk I'm not a theater kid.)

(That's a lie, I'm just a bad theater kid XP)

Fucking loves superhero movies and shit because haha irony.

Favorite class is Drama, least favorite is math. Because math is hard and temporary but Shakespeare is forever.

Has an irrational fear of doctors, dentists, and needles due to some surgical mishaps that occurred when he was young. Also has a fear of the ocean.

Deals with anxiety and frequent panic attacks.

Shayne Topp

15, sophomore in high school. Really fucking loves football, but not on the team. He wanted to be, but he use to be friends with some of the people on the football team. And they... weren't the best to say the least. They were bad influences and caused Shayne to do bad things. He's no longer friends with them, but still goes to the games with Courtney and Damien to cheer on Courtny's brothers who are on the team.

Favorite class is probably woodworking, least favorite is math. Because math is hard and temporary but birdhouses are forever.

(Though he's actually really good at math, like he has the capability to take honors and do well. It just isn't fun.)

Doesn't know how to ride a bike and can't swim. Deep water freaks him out.

Has a huge fear of hurting other (because haha irony) and always puts his friends before himself.

Courtney Miller

14, freshman in high school. Loves writing and art. Has a lot of sketchbooks, but most of them are half filled. At this point she just collects cool sketchbooks.

Also love film/acting/drama but has a lot of anxiety around performing, so she ends up being on her school's tech crew. She's really good at editing, and has a passion for behind the scenes work around productions.

Favorite musical is Heathers.

Favorite class is her painting and art history class, least favorite is math. Because math is hard and temporary but art is forever.

Struggls a lot with school. Doesn't have many friends outside of Shayne and Damien, even when it comes to her tech crew. Generally on bad terms with "friends" (bullies) from middle school.

Doesn't enjoy the other people in her class. A few of them are former (or current) bullies from middle school.

Relationships

Damien and Shayne

Met in the first grade, became friends in a very first-grader-like manner.

Shayne: Hey I like your pokemon shirt

Damien: Oh thanks, you wanna play with trucks?

Shayne: Yeah sure.

They’ve been best friends ever since.

They had a bit of a falling out from mid 7th through 8th grade because of the guys Shayne hung out with. They were your average middle school douchbags but a lil worse.

Things got sorted the summer following 8th grade.

When they started high school, Shayne’s older brother would pick Damien up and give him a ride to school every morning; even though Damien was in walking distance.

But a month-ish before their freshman year, Shayne’s family ended up moving closer to Damien’s, because a tree fell through Shayne’s house during a terrible storm that hit their town. Even though it hypothetically could've been fixed, the house was old so they took it as a sign to just move.

Shayne is the only person who knows about Damien's anxiety outside of his family, and is who Damien goes to when he's having heighted anxiety or a panic attack.

They also bond over their fear of water strangly often.

Shayne and Courtney

Courtney’s family moved across the street from Shayne’s family when Courtney was in the 7th grade and Shayne was in the 8th. And after the initial family intoductions when the Millers first moved in, Shayne never talked to Courtney. Until about a month later, when he was home alone and Courtney knocked at his door.

After Shayne asked 'what's up?' Courtney asked if they could be friends.

“Do you know how to play smash?” Shayne asked.

Courtney sighed and let out a defeated ‘no’ and began walking away from the door.

“Ok, I’m gonna teach you how to play.”

They would hang out quite a bit until Shayne moved, but they still talked a lot.

Shayne later found out that Courtney would go door to door asking for friends. Shayne was the first and only person who had actually said yes.

Most people mistake them for siblings and when they find out they aren’t related, they assume they’re dating.

Shayne treats Courtney like a little sister and is very protective of her.

Shayne was fucking LIVID when he found out Courtney was being bullied. As much as he wanted to fight them, Courtney talked him down from doing so.

He still did the whole 'don't fuck with Courtney or I will fucking kill you' big brother thing. It did the trick for a while. When you're a very athletic 15 year old, it's easy to intimidate people that are younger than you.

Courtney hasn't told him about... the current bullies though.

Courtney and Damien

Met through Shayne. He made a group chat with the 3 of them that Shayne named “Operation Friendship”. Since Shayne and Damien weren't on speaking terms when Shayne and Courtney became friends they never had a chance to meet.

But they didn’t meet in person until Courtney’s first day of high school, where the 3 of them had their first class together, conveniently...

Anytime they play video games, a conversation along this happens.

"Courtney where did you learn to play this game?"

"...Shayne"

"Explains why you suck"

"HEY!"

(Shayne) "HEY!"

------

Hey! Thank you so much for reading! It's been awhile hasn't it. Yeah, I'm sorry. My life has been all over the place for the past few months and I've been struggling to find the motivation to write. I don't want to specifics because it's not only very personal, but a long story.

But to summerize why I sorta dissapeared, I had a lot of personal issues going on with both school and home and as my mental health was on this steady, but consistent, decline, it was at its very lowest in December. My home issues had reached their peak, and with the end of the quarter coming up after Xmas break and my weeks worth of late work coming back to bite me, I was too stressed to work on anything I found enjoyable without losing motivation immidiently.

Things didn't start getting better for me until some time early in semester 2 of my year. My school was transitioning back into fully in person with covid rates at their lowest in my area and things were finally feeling consistant again, but I was still getting my bearings. School still felt draining, though much less than before, and I didn't have much energy to work on things I was passionate about. I don't think I even made a new document for chapter 6 until mid-ish March.

I'm very nervious about coming back to this story after so long for many reason. First being, although I am feeling better mentally, things feel very off with writing this story. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of passion to write this story and want to see it to completion, I've just had a fluxuating interest in smosh aswell. I enjoy the channel, just not as much as I use to. And my hyperfixation on Smosh was a big drive for me writing the story. Second being that I have so much writers block around the sixth chapter of this story, and I'm worried that as soon as I try to work on it, that block will make me lose my motivation again and I'll put it off for another 6 months.

This "chapter" (idk what else I'd call this) has probably been fully finished in my drafts for about a month now, and I've been putting off posting it because of those listed anxieties, but I really want to continue writing this story so I hope you enjoyed!

Also sorry if this explination was all over the place, I just got my first covid vaccine today and am feeling kinda bleh.
