Ellie was in timeout. 

Well not literally, but being benched felt like she was. Suddenly she was 5 again and her teacher was moving her card to red, for her indecent behavior. Ellie wanted to whine, she wanted to fight back – bitch and moan. She had been putting in the work! Up in the gymnasium at the crevice of the glowing somber night to practice her bumping and setting; perfecting her spikes and it seemed as if she would never get to reach tranquility. She couldn’t be an ace, she couldn’t beat her opponents. 

She was drenched in sweat head-to-toe —  the fabric of her jersey sticking to her chest like glue. Beads of fresh sweat dripped down her forehead as she licked her dehydrated lips. She needed to breathe. But Ellie didn’t know breath control. She didn’t know stopping either, her routine was damaged, she was jaded and her brain was fuzzy the plays didn’t even make sense to her. Her brain was insanely flawed.  Nothing but incoherent doodles as her coach yelled in her face to take 5. 

All she knew was routine:

Wake up at 5 am. Go for a run at 7 am. Nutritious breakfast at 9 am. Practice 10-4 pm. A quick nap and muscle soak before a game.

All her hard work burned into ashes; eventually to dust and crumbs as it became nothing but a false sense of dedication. Sleepless nights and aching muscles just to be benched. Ellie was incandescent. Her eyebrows furrowed, cheeks a pulsing red – like clown makeup from the intensity. Her blood cells flowed healthily and her heartbeat was in the root of her ears like the pulsing of the music that kept her going.  While some may say a body is a temple; her’s was a ticking time bomb ready to go off in any second. 

Ellie couldn’t keep her eyes open, the sound of sneakers against the freshly polished floors made her eardrums bleed, similar to scraping a metal ruler against a school board. 

Dropping her head as she looked down at her legs. Her thighs were drenched in sweat the shin guards cutting off any circulation, making her thighs look wonderfully plump and 10x more muscular. Ellie was becoming hyper-aware until a sudden tap on her back and a sweet toothache-inducing smell filled her nostrils. 

It was you.

The water girl, her hero. Just the right person to fix her cravings. A thin white ridged paper cup in your hand with water filled to the brim as you held it out in front of you with a gentle smile. Ellie always thought your sweetness was ravishing. She thought her teammates were undeserving of such pleasure and authenticity from you. The other girls would dim your light – and by dimming it she meant flirting with you. Calling you sweetheart and asking to take you out to dinner which was followed by your rich voice telling them, “It’s unprofessional!” but she was too bashful to admit it; she wanted to do it too. 

The word baby could not escape her lips without being immediately flustered by it, Ellie was too smitten and starstruck by you. Quiet and lightly spoken, hell she was called ‘Bitchless 7 Williams’ for a reason. Stuttering over her words, hands shakier than ever, her affection becoming aggression she wanted nothing more than to drag herself out. She wishes she could be more flirty, more outspoken; then just maybe she would have been lucky to snag you, her water girl. 

You knew she could get down, she palpably could get rough with the right motivation. It was the way her anger transcended on the court, you were sure it would manifest in other places too. But part of you loved it, it turned you on, when you were alone at night, entangled in your duvet as you wondered what she would look like calling out your name. She was a fucking loser, a pathetic whiney player that still took the fall.

Initially, you thought you were sweeter; more gentle but Ellie was more bashful than you. She wasn’t like her teammates. Ellie didn’t make eye contact with you at all or call you names. She did, however, stare at your boobs for too long through your tightly fitting workout jacket that hugged every crevice of your body just right. Giving your boobs an extra push. It was perverted, but you caught her every time. Coincidentally that’s what got you hooked on her. You weren’t going to stop her. 

Like a hound dog you could smell what she wanted, you never failed to see the drool finally dripping from her tongue that she masked by bringing up her cup with great speed as the stretchy saliva dripped down the edge of her fingers and her cup. You did notice how she would leave a sticky residue; her clear fluids all over the cup before handing it back to you. Running off right before you can get a word in.

“Hope you’re thirsty It took me hooours to pour this” you teased, holding out the cup towards Ellie with a smile. That soft grin of yours that easily made anyone swoon on you. Ellie caught herself doing it again. In a room with so many people, her team, friends, and family, she sent a quick look at your boobs before looking back at the sparkles in your eyes. Like diamonds and pearls; vibrant and warm. Lewd thoughts raced in her brain like gnats. 

She was giving you teeth, as she took her shirt up; again, to wipe her forehead clear of the everflowing liquid. 

“Oh yeah,” Ellie taunted back, with a smirk on her face. She wasn’t sure where this confidence was coming from, so she reached out to take the cup from you. Bringing the cup up to her lips as she tilted her head back, taking large gulps of the water not breaking eye contact with you. You saw the string of saliva again as she dropped the cup from her lips, taking a soft breath. 

“More . . .” Her voice was breathy as if she ran a mile. 

“More what?”

“More water…please?” Ellie pleaded, she spoke fast and in a whisper shaking the empty cup as she handed it back to you.

“Sure thing Els,” You confirmed taking the cup from her hands feeling the sudden dampness of her drool around the cup. Almost damaging to the deteriorating paper. “You got something here”

You pointed to your own chin with your pointer finger, as Ellie quickly rushed a hand up to wipe off any excess liquid with the back of her hands, fingertips covered in bandaids. 

“Sorry,” it was a quiet whisper. 

You turned to the back this time giving Ellie a full view of the way you looked in the short shorts — that were almost as tight as your top. Ellie had to look away. Almost as if she were being under surveillance, she had to behave; control her wandering eyes that betrayed her more than often.

Just as you were about to give Ellie the cup again, a shout from her coach filled the spacey gymnasium. With that simple shout, Ellie became a machine. Lifting her legs up forgetting about her water request and rushed back onto the court. If she was so lucky to have the chance, she’ll fetch the water from you later. Hopefully with a reward on her back. 

Williams! Back on the court! Let’s try it again #7 Hustle!

JACK MCSTAR MENTION RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WHAT THE HELL IS A BALANCED WORK LIFE ENVIRONMENT

Here’s a new oc of mine, it’s for a little project my friends are making. His name is Jacc (or Jaccu) and he’s super depressed and lonely and he “jokingly” says he’s married to his fake skeleton diagram that sits in his lab. He does the autopsy work and he always has a straight face (resting bitch face). He rarely sleeps and he likes to play DnD and cry on his spare time when he’s not working

The Future Skate and Fashion Scene in New York Brands: Starteam East Village & Settings

By Ethan Gonzales 

Introduction

New York has always been a melting pot for millions of people and what comes along with these people is all types of different styles, trends, and culture. A huge part of New York’s fashion history stems from skateboarding culture and how each individual brings their own style to the table. Most recently, we have some smaller skateboarding companies coming into the New York scene and making a big impact on core skaters with that feeling of a niche brand and making an impact as an up and coming company. The two brands we are talking about today, started in the last couple of years, the first one being Starteam Eastvillage (Starteam for short) and Settings (Atticus Torre). Both of these brands focus on skateboarding culture while being able intertwin a streetwear aesthetic and both brands work very closely together and reach the same audience while having two different styles and making them mesh together. 

New York Skateboarding and Fashion Scene Keeping it Alive

Some of the biggest fashion/streetwear companies emerge from New York and in the more recent years have become more relevant than ever to our younger generation. The problem we are seeing is mass production with the feelings of, laziness, lack of style, and no care for the actual production being made; not to say brands aren’t putting out quality product, it’s just the feeling of lack of care to the graphic, silhouette, or whatever garment it may be. This week we are going to be focusing on the New York based brands Starteam and Settings. 

The New Generation of Fashion, Skateboarding and Art in New York

When we think of the New York fashion scene we think of a couple things that go hand in hand which are, Skateboarding, Streetwear, and Art. Right around 2020 it felt like we lost core companies due to lack of any social events and trying to keep an online presence was very hard to do, because of not being able to produce as much in 2020. These two companies are both run by the owners and the help of their friends, it really gives a raw feeling to the brands as not everything is perfect, but it works for them. Settings by Atticus Torre, makes clothes, hats, and bags, with airbrush painting on each piece done by hand and no two pieces are alike when he airbrushes. All of these airbrush garments are sourced from places like antique stores, estate sales, and thrift stores all usually sourced in New York unless he is traveling and able to source from places wherever he may be. He does live events where he will have his airbrush set up and paint on pieces personally right in front of you while selling his own pieces as well, this creates a love for fashion and art all mixed into one, making the consumer more present and excited to see what they receive. Starteam does all hand sewing and embroidery for their pieces, the pieces they use are usually manufactured in China. They also always try to have events with other brands and just even by themselves such as, skateboarding contests, pop up stores, and food drives for the community. They also do small collaborations with small artists from places such as Japan, New York, and California, in doing this the brands collaborate to try to capture a different audience and help Starteam keep that ‘Mom & Pop’ feeling to the skate company and local community.

Settings, by Atticus Torre: Untitled Collection. 2024

Settings focuses on repurposing old clothing and giving them life again with painting a character on the piece or adding patches by hand and sourcing all of the pieces from thrift stores, antique stores, and while traveling looking for vintage patches. This type of product benefits the consumer and artist by being eco friendly and reusing these pieces that people might have considered trash and giving them new life while remaining true to that grungy New York skater feeling. 

Starteam East Village: Untitled collection. 2025

Starteam focuses on a more skater, oversized fit type style while being sometimes flashy and colorful. A big focus for them is the denim they make with the different styles, to the big star embroidered on the back people love them.

Conclusion: How These Two Brands are Staying True to New York’s Art and Skateboarding Fashion Scene.

The two brands are both run solo by just the owners Kyoto Umeki (Starteam East Village)  and Atticus Torre (Settings), not a corporation, still giving it the raw feeling of a New York based company. They are both focusing on a more skater aesthetic while still having pieces that are artistic and fashionable to current times and trends. Supporting these companies is taking away from mass productions and fast fashion brands that are so prominent in current trends. Settings and Starteam both are trying to pave a way for future artists and skateboarders that enjoy trendy clothing while keeping a core feeling to the companies.

OC-tober day 6 prompt: symbol

Featuring Rena Star Team (again) (I do not have a bias wdym) in a short animatic ("I am not an animator", I tell myself. "I hate animating" I scream into the void. Yet all my half assed animated projects look at me disapprovingly) showcasing the stuff I associate her with.

Of legacies, sins, desires and herecies. Time can only move forward. The young girl knew that better than anyone. But a Chronidi can only strive to make the impossible, possible. Stubborness runs in the family.

All thr Star Team characters have a lot of care put into their symbolisms. And of course Rena is no exception. For this animatic I have chosen 5 symbols, which can all capture a different period in her life.

First: The Chronidi family insignia

The ruling families in Onero island all have an insignia representing them. Chronidi, being one of the founding families, used to be one. Well most of them are still, however that is no longer the case for the branch Rena comes from. Her grandmother, choosing to marry a commoner, was effectively disowned, yet she still brandished the family insignia. Was it a form of protest? Out of spite? Nobility or not, the expectations for all memberts of the "disgraced" branch were high. Throughout her life, especially in early childhood, Rena had been living in the shadow of the high expectations of her family. In the shadow of the beloved matriarch. The insignia serving as both a sign of pride and a curse.

Second: Roses

Rena loves roses. Everyone knows what a rose is. Everyone likes roses. But roses are no one's favourite flower. If they say it is, it's because they don't know the names of other much prettier flowers. People also tend to forget that roses are not just the blossom, but the bush and the thorns as well. No one likes roses in their totality, just the pretty part. But thorns are as much part of the rose as the blossom is.

Rena understands why roses have thorns. She finds comfort in their sting.

In her pre-teen and early teen years, Rena was able to escape briefly her family's critical gaze through school. "Surrounded by mediocrity even the mediocre can shine as exceptional". "Family's disappointment" when surrounded by talented people "Exceptional talent" when surrounded by mediocrity. Everyone likes roses, but there's nothing special about them. Liked but not genuinely loved. Those who attempt to get stung by thorns. Rena finds comfort in it, but Nora did not.

Third: Deer

There is not much "depth" in this one. I just associate every star team character with an animal. Nora's is a bunny, Maya's is a cat. Rena's is a deer.

Rena's young adulthood was the most stable her life had ever felt. Which says a lot as those 4 years in Toxi were hectic to say the least. Always running, but never truly free. Always pursued by her past.

Fourth: The Sun

The Saint of Fools

The sun rests as a halo behind the Chosen One's head.

"She is like the sun. Brilliant, warm and nurturing, yet also capable of hurt. Sometimes looking at her burnt my eyes"

"But there's nothing significant about the sun compared to the rest of the stars. The only reason it drowns out their light during the morning is its proximity to the earth. There are stars out there that shine brighter than the sun ever will. Much more brilliant. So much more potential. I envy them"

Nora, Rena's first and only friend, is the stars

Fifth: grandfather clock

A presence throughout her life, the physical object existed during her stay at school. A clock without hands, yet its ticking echoing forever. No matter how much she tried slowing it down, it can never be reversed. Time can only move forward. The young girl knew that better than anyone. But a Chronidi can only strive to make the impossible, possible. Stubborness runs in the family.

From bweirdart's OC-tober prompt:

While I am doing this challenge mostly to keep an archive of my characters on tumblr (and to incentivise myself to draw them), if you, person stumbling upon this post, are curious and wanna learn more, my askbox is open >:3c
