To The Angel I Made Friends With Who Has Pretty Shiny Eyes:
Hello. It’s Ulysses. I just wanted to say hi. It’s been a bit hard and I was wondering if maybe you’d like to have a tea or something or maybe talk. I am in not the best place and having company will prevent me from making bad decisions. If you don’t want to, I understand. I have watermelon.
Sincerely,
U.F. Dowell
@pissylittlebirdboy
Hello Ulysses!
Thank you for saying I have shiny eyes.✨ I had a very nice time talking with you.
I’m so glad that you thought of me when you wanted to be with a friend. I would love to have a cup of tea with you.
If you want to come to the bookshop, we could go to Nina’s, Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death.
I know there’s another coffee shop somewhere else, but I hear their coffee is pretty awful. Nina’s tea and coffee is exceptional, so are her Eccles cakes.
I’ve never eaten watermelon. Is it good? You can bring it if you want.
Come over anytime.
Your friend,
Muriel

Not to state the obvious but the lyric "I tried to speak easy, but you bent my words right back at me..... Then I broke the law." is not only perhaps the funniest change in vibe mid line ever but also on my rqg playlist under the wilde section

When will you come back? I‘m cold :( and I feel a bit weird… BUT IT‘S SO COOL TO BE A HUMAN!
I’m at the door now, El. I got you some stuff I think you’d like.
he walked in with two bags of higher-end clothes on his arms; only the best for his little bird. he shifted out of his human disguise and back into the avian body he was used to before setting down the bags.
they contained typical children’s clothes, with everything from shoes to shirts and dresses and skirts and pants and shorts (and underwear as well. he knew how bodies worked.); there was atleast one of each. he had also gotten a few things for hair and one bracelet that would fit on her duck-sized self as a necklace. they were in her favorite color and the fabrics he knew she liked.
er… take these to your room and change. Call me if you need help using your… hands. you’ve never had arms before - do you know how to work them? oh, even then your fine motor skills are nonexistent. here, I’ll help. follow me.
he began slowly walking to her room, watching her from the eyes in his tail. He wanted to make sure she’d be okay.
any questions about being human?

not to be basic but 1 and 2 from that meta ask meme?
all the question are on the list for a reason Anon! no need to put yourself down for it v-v 1&2 are Excellent questions I"m happy to answer!
now.
I Imagine you intended this for Lazarus, But!
you were not specific
so you will now get a Very long post about Everyone >:3c
(and by everyone I mean the main 3 characters I consider 'Bartholomew's Nasty Little Bastards')
First up, of course, we will do Lazarus!
1. What inspired you to create your oc?
The really obvious answer here is Re8, my instant consuming love for it and for Karl, the overwhelming need to like... Participate, somehow, in that world, but not being able to cross the Full self-insert hurdle..
He's basically a very Warped-beyond-recognition version of a self-insert, a guy all his own but in somewhere still very Connected to the Me.
But the more like.. in depth stuff, like what inspired Lazarus to Be Who He Is is like.. I love like.. weird Art Gore, Body-As-Art kinda shit, Meaningful and disturbing.. somehow Comforting and he's kinda the perfect vessel for that. I've had the Human Taxidermy Artist thing floating around the back of my mind for a decade or so just Waiting for a place to land and Laz was a golden opportunity v-v.
2.Why does your oc look the way they do? What are your reasons for their appearance?
When I was settling Lazarus's design I wanted him to have this appearance of like, a very refined and elegant individual; beautiful in a sort of Severe way, but twist it up ever so slightly so he registers as Uncanny and Gross.
Beauty Hiding Filth and all that.
(just think about how many Fluids get into that Velvet Ensemble on the daily, it's Not Good.)
Like the way his pants cut him and the vertical lines make him just All Leg. And his pallid bloodstained skin which makes him look like a Walking Corpse, hair slicked back with its own grease.. a figure that's bewitching and unsettling to witness
also yes, the hair is Both a Me thing and a Bride of Frankenstein thing.
Virgil always feels right coming Second on these things..
1. Inspiration
Virgil is ooooooooooold, he's so Old, virgil is Ancient
Virgil is possibly my oldest still-in-use OC, I created him a Looooooong ass time ago.
like 2010 Long Ass Time.
That is to say I do not know Why she exists.
Okay, Not entirely true.
I made her for a comic I was writing with my friend at the time. She was my part of the main villain pair, but I do Not remember how I ended up on Toxicologist prodigy but make it Cowboy (which was always a bit of a misnomer for the vibe but nowadays Especially he's less Johnny Cash more Nickleback)
I Think, I Think, what I wanted was to have a character that contrasted the Hardest against my friends main villain? who was very Orderly and Serious and Efficient?? beats me though that was So long ago..
I was also just listening to a Lot of Nickleback-esk music at the time, which may have been an influencing factor lmao
2. Appearance
Virgil's appearance is pretty simple to explain, all told! He's a Country Boy/Girl, rowdy and ostentatious, and very secure in her understanding of that part of herself. It's where she comes from, and despite his rocky relationship with home it's who he is, y'know?
The brightest (and most dangerous) mind in Toxicology doesn't Have to look exactly how you'd Expect her to look now does she?
(Virgil pictured here on the Right)
Now our wonderful little Ulysses vwv)/
1. Inspiration
oh this is an Interesting one!! Ulysses (and Charlie, for that matter) came from 2 distinct places to land where they are now..
From time to time I like to entertain the idea of starting a band and having a musical career of some kind, something that blends my love of folk/bluegrass, prog-rock, and power metal into a loud villainous and exhilarating sound.
and a few years back, as I was getting into Bluegrass for the first time, I was struck by a Concept for a Concept Album.
It was called The Book of Brother UIysses; the story of a sniveling little priest in the frontier days and his Cursed Book, following him around as he fed townsfolk to whatever entity lived in its pages until he was finally Consumed himself.
I toyed with it for a bit and eventually put it back on the shelf until the Musical Fancy struck me once more, untiiiiil I was listening to friends at the table: sangfielle and had both a deep desire to do a Horror-Fantasy Western ttrpg And satisfy my ever-present desire to weasel my way into playing two characters at once.. and I pulled ol' Ulysses off the shelf again and made some.. Additions.
This has evolved now into them being just like.. free floating OC's? I don't plan on making a comic out of them, I would Still love an opportunity to play them in a TTRPG setting, but I'm not Banking on it, and hey, who knows, maybe I Will make that album someday, but for now they just kinda amorphously Exist within Something resembling a Narrative in my head after a long and complicated journey...
2. Appearance
Similar to Lazarus, I wanted Ulysses to be unsettling, but in a Slightly different way.
He's too clean- his all black outfit is never grimy, he is clean shaven his hair perfectly quaffed, with that plastered on grin, under eyes obscured by reflective glasses the vibes are just Immediately Off.
To the flip side of that I always wanted him to look kinda.. pathetic. When we see him outside of his Persona as The Keeper of the Book, as just a man that is still Human in many ways; he's just..
small, waifish, behind the glasses his eyes are big and jittery, like a pray animal caught in a snare and still trying to fight its way out..
