moth and compass! the project I've been working on with @natdrinkstea this year-and-some!!
I believe I've introduced our dramatis personae — Moth, an Inquisitive Young Protagonist; Goodfellow, a Ghost; Luna, a Lighthouse-Keeper; and Peregrine, an Ordinary Cat — a few times before, but I still don't think we've every really talked about the story!
and that is because it has taken. quite some time to actually figure out what Goeth On in moth and compass proper. it's a mystery-fantasy, that'll probably be best told as a scrapbook or a puzzle game or a thing along those lines*, and a somewhat purposefully-nostalgic ghost story. it's everyday magic and the haunted sea and learning to look beyond what you think is there and bubblegum pop road trips and creepy creatures in the shadows and the kind of navigational equipment that, if you use it just right, might take you places you'd never otherwise be able to see...

Questions 21, A, and B for the Moth and Compass crowd? 💚
this got a little out of hand, so I shall do one of the trio for each of the three questions!
21. Why do they get up in the morning? 
there’s things that need to get done!! Luna prizes routine and practicality, and even though her lighthouse is no longer operational by mundane means, it still needs to be maintained and to be lit, and it’s got to be her that does it. and in between there are books to read, and corkboards to wind around with red string, and new recipes to try, and down on the shore there are plovers and sandpipers skittering around in between the rocks and the foam. there’s a lot in her life to be excited about!
a. Why are you excited about this character?
Goodfellow is. oh my tragic idiot. he’s out of time in every possible way, and he’s odd to talk to and unsuited to every way of life he’s encountered, but he’s doing almost fine despite it! he’s walking the line between ‘too unobservative to notice that something is terribly wrong’ and ‘still hung up on a guy and a life that he left behind more than two hundred years ago’ and it mesmerizes me! he talks about men in the way that a dad who has never quite figured out that the word ‘bisexuality’ might apply to him would. despite this he did in fact have gay sex on multiple occasions whilst alive. he loves the rules because following them means he doesn’t have to think and he fell in love with a man who threw himself up against the figurative electric fence of the articles of war until it nearly killed them both multiple times. he has an imaginary collection of tank tops from beachfront crab shacks. if you ask him too many personal questions he’ll wail mournfully and vanish into thin air. he has still never quite realized that he was bad at his job. he was so bad at his job to the point where he got many people killed. and his sideburns — well, his sideburns are beautiful!
b. What inspired you to create them?
Moth, well - Moth started out as me. but along the transition from that to where we are now, once again, it was the Vincent Price audiobooks — I was the kind of kid who liked potions and rituals and looking for ghosts, but didn’t do any of those things as much as I would have liked, so when it came to Moth, I imagined the me that would have listened to Vincent Price reading ‘How To See Ghosts Or Surely Bring Them To You’ and ‘Don’t’ and taken that advice! here’s that kid with Carly Rae Jepsen on a borrowed pink ipod, weird hair and weird cat and jeans that don’t fit, and here’s the adventure they’ll have!

I would love to hear more about your OCs! What’s Moth and Compass about?
Tumblr media
the moth and compass crew are just as much @natdrinkstea's ocs as they are mine, but here's an attempt to make a better introduction of the characters that pop up most frequently than we've made before!
