"FOOL!"

OC-Tober Day 21: Hero Turned Villain. Y'all voted for "Hero Canonically Turned Villain", so here is a certain spirit named Azarias.

He's technically from a prequel to one of my books, but the main place you can find him is in my Tangled AU (featuring all of my OCs, and which I literally made a sideblog for). Azarias and his friend Wayland are sent to warn the king of what taking the magical flower will do.

The king doesn't listen.

And in his rage, Azarias lets something else take over him. Something he's resisted for a long time.

This OC-Tober challenge brought to you by @katiethedane12! I should be posting the few other prompts I finished in the next couple days.

My very last artfight attack on @eruanna1875 of her ocs Azarias and Wayland!

And here's a sketch of Melisande, because I wanted to figure out her adventuring outfit!

It's definitely taking from Cassandra in a couple respects, of course. But Melisande's style is also very different from Cassandra's, mainly because I don't think she would ever willingly wear pants. The result? An adventuring dress!

She has boots, of course, plus a pouch and a small dagger (just in case). The pouch probably has some of her herbs and such, like a first aid kit. She also has a cloak, which for reasons unspecified is definitely dark blue. Blue is kinda just her color.

(Might do her hair differently? I don't know. We'll see.)

(Edit: there's now a colored version!)

🖊 Wayland

Wow, this is actually perfect timing, because I just finished Book 1 of the AU the other day!

Okay, so Wayland is really cool. In fact, he used to not even be in his own story - just in the AU, as the medieval version of an actual character/the Quirin to Azarias' Hector - but I liked him so much I put him in one anyway! The same one as Azarias, actually.

But that's enough backstory. Now, on to the actual character!

In writing Wayland, I've noticed that he's... well, a little at odds with himself. He's a peacemaker who must act as a soldier. A father at heart who cannot find a home. A faithful friend who finds he must take up his sword against those he cares about.

And he hates that! He WANTS to find peace, he WANTS to have a family, he WANTS to keep his friends. But the wars he must wage keep him from doing that. He can make peace for others, but never for himself. And it seems like everyone he tries to hold in his heart is eventually lost, either to their enemies or to themselves.

And that's only the first book! I have a whole bunch more story mapped out for this AU, and, well, he gets it pretty rough before the end of the whole thing.

But... he will find it. I think Wayland will find the peace he's looking for. I think he'll find the home he's longing for. And I think he'll find the friends that won't go away... or that come back in the end.

I really like this guy.

Here's the colored version! I think it turned out kinda pretty :)

Weird writer things:

When you reread an old piece and realize it has the exact same vibe as your favourite show, which you didn't know existed at the time you wrote it.

[tpc-tangled-au]

Legit though, that's exactly what happened

thinking about aus for ocs is so funny. like i already put this guy in a situation but what if i put them in another totally different one

Kingdom of Othrys Masterlist!

Well, if you've happened upon this odd little blog, you'll probably need to know what you're getting into before you delve in.

Essentially, what we have here is an AU of Tangled. Movie, show, all of it. In theory, it follows the same general plot as Tangled. The central difference, however, is that all the characters (and a good bit of the worldbuilding) are from my stories.

Of which there are way too many.

I know it's extremely random and niche, but I've been having fun with it, and so has my sister. So I'm gonna keep at it for the time being.

Though there are numerous side characters, the main people we follow are the cheery monster prince Naphtali, his clever best friend Baron (ex magic thief), and the rather solemn handmaiden Melisande. They tell the ghostly, wintry tale from its beginning to... well, hopefully the end. Eventually.

Now then, if that sounds interesting to you, allow me to show you how to find your way around! As your map, here is the table of contents, with all links in place (the chapter links go to the individual Tumblr posts).

Obviously, this will be updated as I continue to write more and more.

Anyways, welcome to the Kingdom of Othrys! I hope you find something worthwhile!

I'm wavering, because part of me wants to keep doing OTGW stuff and write more of those fics, but part of me also wants to work on my Tangled AU, which is super wintery and more in the season, and which is also fun to write. It's like I'm toeing the borders between autumn and winter, and I don't know which side to land on.

[tpc-tangled-au]

A silly confused little monster prince and his enchanted chameleon child versus an entire AU storyworld?

I'm sorry my guy, but you have no chance.

no options for "they wouldn't fight" or "they would kiss", they are fighting and that is FINAL

[tpc-tangled-au]

And here's my Valentine's Day post! I've sketched A Kiss for Them!

This was actually requested by one of my sisters (maybe two), who wanted me to draw Prometheus and Melisande kissing, and decided it should be the AU version. So here it is! Happy Valentine's Day!

See, the problem is, I have all these stories and characters, and I weave them into the AU in all these fun ways, simply because I can, but then Cool Side Character 3 never shows up again despite having had a whole chapter fleshing them out.

A sketch of Naphtali, enjoying a snowfall from the tower. Which I'm actually going to have be a lighthouse now, because I have a lighthouse in a story, and it sounds cool.

[tpc-tangled-au]

Sketch of romance for St. Valentine's Day, lol

Naphtali and Melisande, of course, doing the thing from C1, where the prince bows and kisses her hand, and the handmaiden rolls her eyes and covers her mouth (because she can't stop blushing)

Yes, I mixed up the hair color for Naphtali. If this is the first chapter, he should have black hair.

No, this is not Cassunzel. I will smack you if you start calling this Cassunzel. I ship these two, not those two. Thanks very much.

[tpc-tangled-au]

Well, I gave my guy Azarias some Greek to swear with (I promise, there's nothing bad), mapped out the storyworld from tower to castle in my notes, worked out a couple of important plot-related details for the Film Events, and found the perfect place to put one of my all-time favourite characters. So I'd call that a pretty successful afternoon!

[tpc-tangled-au]

The crazy thing is, this first book of the story is like, all wintry and dark and total vibes and pretty much not even the same story in parts. But then the next book has musical numbers.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
