What's The Problem, Officer?

[raven-the-norseman]

Has nothing to do with what my page here is about, but this is my dream bike. I have wanted one for so long.

Some new OCs with cars to complete the set I made in 2019!

Explanations under the cut.

Young Hyden - 1975 Lamborghini Countach

He would want some sort of luxury sports car. I mean, he'd have to have one. What else could he possibly drive but something loud, flashy, expensive, and oozing with ego and sex appeal?

He couldn't decide between "Cocaine Binge" orange or "Satanic Panic" black so he bought one of each. He alternates between them while the other is in the shop due to either the consequences of his own bad driving or general luxury car malaise.

Unfortunately, the Countach is three and a half feet tall while Hyden is just over seven feet tall. Even with custom seats to accommodate his height, it's not a comfortable driving experience. Luckily for him, the choice to give up his stupid sports cars to spare his aching knees is made for him when he totals one of them in a particularly bad accident and gets his license suspended.

Old Hyden - 1994 Bentley Dominator

It's now the mid 90s and Hyden is older, fatter, and more arthritic. Pickings are pretty slim for a rich man who simply does not fit in a small vehicle. I mean, there are options, but not a lot among the luxury brands, which means those options might as well not exist at all. The SUV boom was still in its infancy and the Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan, two other cars I considered for him, would not exist for another decade or a few.

In 1994, in the real world, Bentley made six huge gas-guzzling bricks for the Sultan of Brunei. These luxury car-slabs cost £3,000,000 a pop. In my fictional OC world, Hyden has #7. Or at least would have a similar custom luxury SUV with a similar price tag.

He no longer drives, citing his growing list of illnesses as the reason (No mention of his suspended license). Other drivers on the road breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, that's what chauffeurs are for.

Alternate car: This funny little bunny car toy I bought. Isn't it great?

Alex & Ridge - 1996 Ural Tourist

Instead of a car, Alex gets a motorcycle to symbolize her death wish… and also for other reasons, but that's the main reason.

A practical old thing. It's broken down a million times but she and Ridge always manage to revive it. She appreciates its ability to determinedly haul ass through rugged terrain and the fact that she can carry stuff using the sidecar. Ridge appreciates that sometimes he is the thing that gets carried around in the side car. He is also responsible for the shark face on it. :o)

…He drives it too, of course. He's a perfectly good, reasonable driver. Alex is just kind of a control freak about it. She is one of those people who grits her teeth and presses her foot into the passenger seat floor any time she's riding shotgun. It's easier to just let her be the driver.

They bought it together and drive it all over Europe doing whatever odd shady jobs they do in a modern setting. Alex craves one of those snazzy hyper-durable Japanese motorcycles, but cannot afford one. Maybe someday… Ridge isn't so sure about that kind of change. The bike still works as long as you fix it constantly, so what’s the problem? Plus, he'd be sad to see the shark face go.

“Riding the Ural sidecar is like riding a horse with a mind of its own,” said Skol, “but I’m determined to learn to control it.”

It's not too big for her, at least once she's an adult. It's just big enough to annoy certain bikers by having it bigger than their penis substitute.

Though if she ever got with Marinette, she'd have either an Ural, as those are tough as they can be and come out of the factory with the sidecar already on, or a BMW RS54 with a Harley Davidson sidecar and see who gets the shout out first.

Miraculous fanarts: Cerise Bianca's disguises

I've made these three variants of Cerise. There are her three disguises.

First: Waitress

Second: "Biker"

Third: Blond "housekeeper"/British student(?)/"Iris Verdi"

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir belongs to Miraculous Corp.

I drew this Sailor Moon + Motorcycle + Paris mashup for my bestie. 💗 (It's always been an inside joke that we should rent a Ural and ride around Paris while eating macarons and croissants lol.)

1. INTJ, but I think these kind of tests are geared more towards neurotypicals.

2. Not a car, but I used to be interested in getting a bike (a Ural maybe) with a sidecar. I used to ride before I had kids. Though, those days might be behind me. I'm a bit more high strung now.

3. Ugh, anxious, quiet, sarcastic, undiagnosed autistic

4. Quiet nature (but with bathroom access, I don't want to be stranded in the woods or anything)

5. Not 5 words, but "this too shall pass" is something I've found important to remember for both good and bad things

6. Not judgy, genuine, good humour, and honest

7. I get overly excited for my kids' birthday parties. Pinterest is the cause and solution to many of my problems.

I'm uncomfortable tagging, but if you've read mine, then I'd love to read yours.
