#whoops x2

[great-gronkamorka]

watching X2

me: logan stop smoking in cerebro. stop it.

charles: logan, my tolerance for you smoking in the mansion notwithstanding, continue smoking that in here and you’ll spend the rest of your life under the belief that you’re a six year old girl.

logan: *slowly takes out cigar*

me: GET HIS COCKY LITTLE ASS

[lunarblazes]

whenever i read comics i have to chant to myself "i do not have a type of character. my taste in characters is purely coincidental. i have no issues" because i do shit like read the x2 nightcrawler special and then immediately dive back into reading hellboy

▸   @troublewithvampires   ⟶   ❛  Tucks (my muse) into bed after along day. //give me vampire stepdad tucking his kiddo in. or else. 🔪 (first thought was with craig ofc but i'd also be very down for tweek if you'd rather give him a lil love)  ❜   ╱   (  detailed action , accepting .  )

Craig’s countenance was haggard, withered.  It hurt to move it at all with the stitches in his left lip, cheek, eyebrow.  It pained him to smile and to sob, and it was a blessing that his pain medication left him with no energy for either.  Exhaustion carved deep lines in his face, all of his features victims of gravity, his eyelids drooping, the corners of his mouth downturned, dark eyebrows hanging over sockets like dismal awnings thrown over a rained-on porch an hour too late.  All of that combined with the way he kept his fingers in the crook of Sal’s arm, hunched over as the vampire guided him through slow, shaky steps up the stairs, lent itself to the appearance of someone much older than fifteen.

In a way, it was good to be home, but mostly, it changed little.  He had still failed, and his return home was that of a wounded soldier who had been fighting the war on the wrong side of history.  But there was some solace in being out of the hospital, no longer having to wile away the hours thinking about how the one he arrived with was discharged AMA before he even woke up.  The familiarity of the sheets as Sal drew them up around him was a shitty compensation prize, all things considered, but Craig would take what he could get.

He had failed, and he didn’t deserve good things, but he wanted them, he wanted them more than anything.  That train of thought choked him up again, and he squeezed his eyes shut, and a lone tear escaped to roll over the coils of black thread in his cheek.  He thought he felt a rough hand glide through his hair, but he might have been imagining things.  He barely remembered being at the bottom of the stairs a moment ago.

“Sal?” he squeaked out, prying his eyes open to find more ceiling than man.  “Sal?  I don’t want you to say you told me so, okay?”  It hurt to talk, too, and his voice was rough and slurred through the haze of sleep, even though he had already slept for the past dozen hours.  “Or maybe, I do…  I don’t know.”  He shook his head as he started to slip again.  “I don’t know…  It’s over, isn’t it?”

It was over, and he didn’t know anything.  The most miserable, awful, shit-ass era of his life was over, and all he felt now was miserable and awful and shit-ass.

so I wanted to redraw this comic from @wysteriaisapenguin but with my designs instead, because the expressions are seriously neat.

whoop, here we go.

and yeah I guess it also kinda serves as a design showcase for everyone in apotheosis.

images without text + bit of rambling under the cut

I got too lazy to transfer to digital and colour so I'm just leaving it like this for now.

and can I just say I kinda dig my design with apo-broken here? like, I'm not gay and I'm a dude, but that. like. he's kind of hot in a twinky femboy jesus kinda way, y'know what I'm saying? okay I told myself I wasn't gonna be like @/pareidolla and I would never twinkify my broken, like that's her brand, and I wanted him to look a little more masc...then I proceed to twinkify my broken but I think it's worth it.

paranoid is very concerned. hero is just done with everyone's bullshit. broken is completely off his rocker.

I kinda just gave up with drawing hero lmao but poor guy, he has to be the only sane man dealing with The Anxiety and The Depression (narrator, you don't count, and TLQ is just anxiety and depression x2)

don't think I exactly captured the essence of the original but whatever, broken is pretty enough and that's almost worth it

I cannot draw hands btw

though that was way too obvious

hunted go get your boyfriend I think he's a little bit insane

[agent-darkfest]

Completely forgot to post the Magma from this past weekend. Whoops x2.

“I’m here, I’m here.” Simon said as he pressed a tall beer tin against the bruise on your cheek and temple area. It was basically piss in a can, but it was cold, and God knows you needed that against your warm, throbbing bruise.

Your eyes were so beyond cloudy with tears, you couldn’t even see a foot in front of you. Hell, you couldn’t see him and his pretty face. The only reason you knew he was there was his constant reassuring words and his warm breath on your face, scented of nicotine.

He was glad you couldn’t see him, because if you did, you’d see the wince in his face and the way he struggled to straighten his left hand to cup your cheek with a gentle touch while his right hand held the drink tin to your wound.

A couple of his left fingers were definitely broken. Should he be going to A&E right now and getting his hand checked out? Probably. Was he going to? Absolutely not. Not unless it was to drive you there. The bruise on your face was swelling nastily, your skin not used to taking a beating. Not like his was.

“You’re alright… Don’t cry, darlin’, you’re alright…” Simon kept trying to calm you down while he did his best to caress your face with a gentle, hurt hand. “You’re alright, pet…” He kept cooing at you. But you just kept wailing. 

As usual, Simon had come to get you at 9 P.M. You only lived a couple of streets over and he never let you walk the distance. Not after dark; it wasn’t safe. It already wasn’t safe during the day, but at night it was so much worse. But this time… Oh, how he blamed himself. Maybe if you had walked to him, you would’ve escaped this mess.

He had shown up to see you waiting up the street, rather than at your door. Weird. 

He slowed his dad’s Clio to a careful idle which he held with his foot on the clutch and the other on the brake pedal. He stretched over the center console to pop open the door from the inside, as he usually did, but you beat him to it, opening it from the outside. Weirder.

You weren’t cheerful as you slunk into the passenger seat and slammed the door shut, sulking quietly in your seat. Weirder x2.

Suspicious of your behaviour, he clicked on the overhead lighting of the car… And the sight he got of your face filled him with a rage he didn’t know he could ever feel. The throbbing bruise on your temple: swollen, red and still hot to the bloody touch… And the way you looked at him, brows furrowed, watery eyes, nose dripping, lips set into a frown so tight that your chin scrunched up with wrinkles… 

It all had him seeing red.

“What happened?” He demanded, his voice hostile, but not toward you, but regarding whoever did that to you. You couldn’t answer. You broke into wails, fat tears streaming down your face.

And he didn’t need words to know. Your crying did all the talking.

It didn’t matter that you were fifteen. Every innocent kid who gets beaten beyond a simple spanking or belt whooping to the arse has the same reaction, regardless of age: They cry and scream. The pain is unlike any they’ve ever experienced before. It’s the mix of taking a punch to a tender temple/cheek that has never known violence, and of seeing your father’s face on the other side of the fist… That’s what does it.

Simon pulled up the handbrake with more aggression than he meant to, the car stuttered with his motion. He turned it off and threw open the driver’s side door, tossing his legs out and exiting the car.

“Riley!” He heard you call after him, your voice choked up, as he marched up the street to the brick-front house you live in. He could hear your hurried footsteps after him and you were able to grab his arm to stop him for a second.

He looked back at you with an unbridled level of very poorly-contained fury in his brown eyes. He softened a bit when he saw your crying face again, but then, his eyes were once more drawn to the now bruise that you sported on the left-side of your face. You now had a matching bruise to his… Something he never wanted you to ever know. And that only renewed his rage.

Simon grabbed you by the shoulders and made you sit on the side of the road. He hurried at shrugging off his parka and tossing it over your shoulders, his hands guiding your own arms into the warmth of the thick sleeves, and fixing the faux fur-lined hood to sit a bit more flush to your neck.

He wanted you warm. He wanted you warm and safe and healed. And right now you were only two our of three. And he couldn’t provide the third one. But he’d provide something better.

“Stay here.” He demanded, his voice freezing you onto the pavement where he sat you. You brought your knees to your chest, still sobbing in pain.

You looked back at him and watched as he made himself as big as he could, his shoulders squared as hard as they could be, and his chest puffed up, all while he was pounding a fist on your front door with one hand while the other pressed the doorbell repeatedly.

Even at 16, Simon was already much taller than most grown men in the area, and certainly taller than his drunk and druggie of a father. It’s no wonder the old bastard now thinks twice before raising his hand at Simon, not that that stops him from trying to throw his weight around with his wife and even Tommy. That’s why Simon still finds himself covered in bruises that never quite heal before he’s getting new ones.

When the door opens, your mother is on the other side, trying her best to cover her own face as well. Poor lady is just as battered as you, the testament of a night where her husband finally lost it. She has to look up at Simon, just like you do, his height imposing abover hers. Her face looking paled and afraid.

It’s not like she doesn’t know you have a ��boyfriend”. She’s covered for you many times when you snuck out to be with him, has seen him drop you off late at night plenty of times, especially when she was worried about what you were up to… Long before she noticed that you were just being teens and never in any real danger. 

In fact, she knows Simon quite well. Even from before you became whatever it is you are now, he used to stand at your door, at 8 A.M. every weekend, waiting for you, so you could go out and ‘play’ around the neighborhood. She had waved you two off plenty of times with a reminder to be home for dinner.

But she’s never seen Simon quite this way before. Hell, neither have you. But the look in his eyes told her she should just stand aside and let it happen. And so, she did… simply using her head to wordlessly point out that her good-for-nothing husband was upstairs in the bedroom. The teen boy gave her a curt nod as he marched upstairs.

Your father was shorter than him and fat. He was also drunk. The moment he entered the bedroom, the old bum had struggled to even roll up from the bed where he was watching footie on an old box TV. He shouted at the unknown teen in his home… trying to be intimidating. But he couldn’t do shit against Simon’s rage, didn’t even stand a chance.

The violence he impinged on your sleazy father that night had come surprisingly easily to him. It was like an itch he finally got to scratch, releasing years of pent-up aggression onto a man that was an almost direct copy of his own father (minus the drug abuse). 

That was the first night the ‘Ghost’ ever came out. 

By the time Simon came back out the door, his knuckles were bruised to shit, and covered in blood, his left hand in so much pain that he knew he’d broken a couple fingers. He had taken one of your father’s cold, cheap beers from your fridge to use as an ice pack for you, your mum having told him she didn’t have any frozen ice in the freezer.

He sat by your side in the pavement, his hands holding your face and icing your bruise the best he could as he whispered reassuring words at you while you cried all you needed to. Then, his words turned from reassurance to promises. None of them empty.

“We’ll get out of here, lovie.” He promises you. “I’ll get us out of here.” He kept repeating while he wrapped his arms around you and kissed your forehead with chapped lips while you sobbed against his chest.

“How…?” You asked him, your lip trembling as you resist falling into another sobbing session on his chest, your head craning up to look him in the eyes. “We’re both skint…” You choked out.

“I’ll find a way.” Simon said as he rubbed his busted hands through your hair, the best he could, trying not to wince and grunt at the pain in his broken fingers. “I’ll… I’ll join the military if I have to.”

“Simon…” You said in a hush, your eyes already welling up with tears. It felt bizarre to say his actual name, almost as bizarre as hearing him talk about enlisting.

“I’m serious, darlin’.” The blond lad tells you as he looks down at your eyes, his brow furrowed a bit as he once again takes in the size of your bruise. “The recruiters came to my secondary a month ago… I nabbed one of their sign-up sheets… Just in case.” He explains as he rubs your hair.

“It’s just… three months.” He assures you. “Basic Training is super quick and I’ll start getting paid from the start.” He says. He doesn’t seem excited, despite the fact he’s trying to convince you of how good it’ll be.

You’re not excited about the idea. What if he gets sent out to foreign land? What if he dies? What if…

“I’ll start to save up. I’ll send you money every month… And as soon as you graduate secondary next June, I’ll rent out a flat down in wherever I end up, really… and I’ll get you out of here… And you’ll come stay with me!” He assures you with the most confident in himself that you’ve ever heard him have.

“Simon…” You whine a bit as your eyes well up with more tears. The idea of living with him, just the two of you, away from all this, it sounds so nice… The peace you’d get.

“I’ll call all the time, I’ll write, I’ll come visit when I can, and I’ll pay for you to go visit too when you’re on school holiday.” He keeps promising.

“It’s going to be just you and me, lovie.” He assures you as he presses loving kisses to your mouth. “I’ll get you out. I’ll get you to safety.” He continues, his own eyes softening with tears. “Okay?” He asks you.

Your eyes are still watery and your bruise hurts, but you see the look in his eyes, and the promise of peace and quiet and a life of love and affection by his side makes the fire in your heart burn just a little bit brighter.

You wanted to tell him you love him. He wanted to say it too. But neither of you do. It’s not the time. Or maybe it’s the fear. 

So instead, you find yourself returning a sheepish “Okay.”

GOES EVIL RYN THE RAMBLER TIME

wxs hcs go!!

all of them are autistic, emu also has adhd. all of them were diagnosed prior to main story but tsukasa, the way he found out he had the 'tism is from his fellow troupe members talking abt the shared autistic experience and kasa was like "wait.. that sounds like me.. ARE YOU SURE THESE ARE YOU AUTISTIC TRAITS??" and so the rest or wondersho told him "tsukasa.. honey, youre autistic" and they baked him a cake when he got diagnosed ‼️‼️ and by "they" i mean Nene, rui once almost blew up his house when microwaving something (accidentally, but still) so hes not even allowed to use a microwave let alone bake a cake. for Emu, oh sweet, sweet, emu. she almost put some sort of dairy product (i hc hes allergic to dairy) so she couldn't help that much (almost died from autistim cake x1)

when they gave him the cake, emu played the "YIPPEE" sound at max volume and almsot gave kasa a heart attack (almost died from autistim cake x2)

this is already long enough so get ready for a part 2 probably tmmrw

WOO AUTISM 💥💥 wxs is literally the autism group methinks. everyone is autistic but wxs especially they have so many autistic traits that them being allistic just isn't possible

i love them. the autism creatures... onto mod rui and mod nene though !! - 🎀

I should’ve gotten a cake when I was diagnosed with autism - 🎮

well hi. mod mizuki again. mod rui hasn't added anything on whoops it's been long enough that i'm just posting. enjoy this amazing headcanon - 🎀

[mimiruku]

Do you have any other characters besides Miruku?

Here is the current roaster of characters present in this blog in spite of them not have bios ( Daddy is lazy & writing bios is such a pain in the ass. ) but also these characters are shared between me and Nimo! I may have forgotten information about them that only she remembers.

⸻ 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐈 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐋 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐒

╰┈┈➤ kai. namichu's national strumpet. Miruku's cheating ex-boyfriend & also bestie???. They're in good terms, guy ends up with the vongola and jumping ship and transferring to varia, under (From what I remember) Belphegor's unit. Somehow surviving the gangle of insanity as a regular - everyday mafia member. Momina is his biggest hater. ;; the logistics of how the whole criminal organization happened is haphazardly put at best. lets not think too deeply of things now. ( SECRET TALENT : Being hated by women & A genius, ranks 2nd smartest student in namichu right after Gokudera. )

╰┈┈➤ chiyoko konno. aka "chiyo" & mamichu's meangirl. Leads the 'Yamamoto Takeshi' Fan Club , which is to say ; basically, leads a mob of gatekeeping mean girls. At first she's very much your typical conniving, scheming girly who is out for blood if you get too close to Takeshi, but like shrek said! onions has layers and so does she. Miruku is very, very fond of her, he thinks she's so funny ! unfortunately the sentiment is not returned. She thinks Miruku is making fun of her. Momina also has fucking beef with this girl. ( SECRET TALENT : Information gathering (nosy) , extremely observant. (nosy x2) & 4'11 and can likely whoop your ass. ) FORMER BASEBALL TEAM MANAGER, quits because of malversation of funds.

╰┈┈➤ sakura kobayashi. pick me, choose me, love me. & Namichu's school idol, perfect madonna. Can't believe Takeshi & Gokudera are the only characters that are getting hounded by a groupie, so now we have Sakura to even out the place, except it's a bunch of boys and she does in fact like it, as always this too has layers. *Evil voice* it's all part of the plan. She words really, really hard for this image and wants to date either Takeshi or Gokudera for said image. ( SECRET TALENT : being beautiful, tactical manipulation, rallying people for her cause, 3rd smartest student in namichu right after Kai ) CURRENT BASEBALL TEAM MANAGER, the team's angel goddess.

╰┈┈➤ Hayashi Hibari. Kyoya's cousin, Yakuza & Namichu's 'delinquent'. Kyoya's biggest fan, Hayashi really really likes Kyoya, the sentiment is not returned. Contrary to how he looks, he's a rather timid and shy fellow, he's not very good at communicating . . . or rather, rarely talks ! ( SECRET TALENT : Physically very strong, looking intimidating, loving his family. )

⸻ 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃 & 𝐏𝐄𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐒.

╰┈┈➤ & We also have the celebrities.

💗 Household Recap

Full summary under the cut!

Quinn: Celine and Jonah's house got a makeover. Talia, Sophie and Lucas came over for dinner so Talia could fix the broken computer. Using said computer, Jonah finished his second novel and received decent royalties; he also did a ton of yoga and got fit to satisfy the ROS! Melody had her first birthday and is a super cute toddler.

Gill: Percy moved into a new home, complete with a plantsim-friendly greenhouse. For his ROS, he made an online friend, a townie named Tyler. After some talking, they met in person, had three bolts, and hooked up despite my attempts to keep things platonic. Percy remained more interested in Sophie, Talia and Noemi, though, and rolled wants to marry all three. In the end, his chemistry with Sophie won out. He proposed and she (shockingly) said yes!

Porter: The painting business gained a rank despite Drew and Ethan terrorizing the customers. Enzo aged up to a toddler and was simultaneously miserable, adorable and very sweet. Ethan invited Sophie, Talia and Lucas over for a games night and family dinner, where Daphne and Sophie agreed to just be friends from now on. Finally, Daphne opened a second business, a cake and coffee shop called Sweet Treat, and Drew got promoted.

Sutton-Kirby: Sophie slept with Talia, then realized she's engaged to Percy and just cheated on him. Whoops! She and Percy then had A Serious Talk and agreed to be in an open relationship so they could both continue hooking up with Talia, who has no interest in marriage. Talia sold more robots and another restaurant guide, and poor Lucas channelled his confusion about his parents' relationships into selling lemonade and doing extremely well in school.

Hendricks: Miles gave birth to Emerald Pines' first alien, Artemis! He studied parenting and was a surprisingly wonderful dad. At Jonah's behest, he tried to make friends but it didn't work, because everyone sucks, so... he still doesn't have any. At the end of the round, Artemis aged up to a toddler with 12 personality points total.

Arias: Noemi opened a business, The Red Thread, but her lack of charisma skill made sales interactions comically difficult. Things were going pretty badly, but somehow she earned a good review and the Best of the Best Award, so now it's looking up! She also hooked up with and went on a dream date with Tyler the townie.

[csgossip]

I'm off Anon to say that whoever is posting asks here to defend me is really sweet but it's really not that serious. I promise I'm not stressed about it because I know the trades I send out are fair to the best of my knowledge and by Horrors Guide.

My fae foxes getting people ruffled was very funny, I'll admit. I've posted this in replies before but I think they get buried so I'll send one off-anon ask here to explain them and to let whoever is mad know that I'm slowly updating them when I have time (which is not a lot, I work a full time+ job and am married)

I used Horrors Guide for C$ prices.

At the time, it recommended 5C$ per Rare so I took the C$ price / 5 to get the number of any rares that could be traded for it. So a 100C$ pet would be 20 rares.

An EUC was the half of the price of rares so # of rares / 2. A 100C$ pet would be listed at 40 EUC.

A VR was twice the value of a rare. So # of rares x2. A 100C$ pet would be 10 VR.

It doesn't work since the prices have been updated but you caught me, I'm lazy and haven't updated it! Whoops!

My recent listing's better reflect Horrors Guidelines. If you have critiques about my prices, you can just tell me and I'll update as needed. It's not a big deal.

I play this game for fun, I gift and haggle and chat because it let's me blow off steam in a rewarding way.

I hope ya'll enjoy the game and remember that's all it is.

[gamer-comix]

hi this is about the last post i decided i had so much to say that i couldnt comment it. im not expecting a response or anything so no pressure

is twewy comix like... dead?? deceased?? gone?? I feel like theres people who would still like twewy comix. like me. hi.

also xyz but badly drawn still is funny to me... everyone and their mom decided it wasnt one day but like guuyyysss it is funnyyyyy. I get everyone hates the mass production of nyan neko sugar girls ripoffs but some people are original..

id honestly be sending asks to people a lot more and this blog specifically with "hey can you draw xyz but stupid" but im scared to send any asks to people unless its calling my friend a piss drinker because what if im cringe. anyway

also in the tags yes you have talked about "tumblr culture" once before i remember. if thats what youre referring too.

also (x2) whenever you mention your main blog its like this scary ominous figure in my mind. the main... *really fucking scary music*

i dunno about DEAD dead but i kinda lost a lot of motivation to post twewy stuff (that doesn't have a picture of SSShuyaKano going :O next to it) for various reasons. i still get followers there for some reason though so i always just reblog that "new blog!" post. like...pssst guys over here......there's more stuff

i have considered maybe doing a write-up/review comix of twewy/ntwewy's plot someday though? (i guess i was kinda already doing that when the demo came out but i got burned out and stopped, whoops) but that'd be a long while off

there is no main blog. i am all mspaint all the time. i do not blog or think about other things. i am a being composed of naught but comic sans and hideous color palettes and like eight near-identical shades of blue. comic sans is still inherently funny too btw

*holds microphone to your face* miss kit, your brain is so interesting and amazing and i love everything it thinks of, so I have to ask *deep breath*….if, in a modern au/whatever-you-choose-au, how would you portray a Vader&Anakin duo? How obsessed would they both be with Obi-Wan? How would the old man handle getting the Skywalker attention x2? How dark would you make it or could you see it going in a more comedic direction? If in the GFFA universe, would they both be Obi-Wans Padawan (via loophole/bullshit-wxlapnation)? How much shit would they get up too? And finally….would be Obi-Wan be getting the double D? 😳

*yanks back mic* that’s all! Thank you for you input, and I’ll def be watching out for that body politic au 😉

(2/2) Whoops! Forgot to add the “Vader-no-crisp-version-just-a-twin note” 🙈😵‍💫

hm this is a great ask -and also thank you for the compliment!! so funnily enough 2 different fics/universes jump to mind, and neither are exactly what you're after, but both are close in different ways -

in the playmaker au, where undercover obi-wan is corrupted by mob boss anakin, anakin is written as having two personalities: anakin & vader, and in the ficlets, both names are used but not interchangeably. they're meant to reflect vaderkin's mind at whichever moment, so it's sort of like both vader and anakin are obsessed with obi-wan and he's getting a crazy amount of attention

but closer to what you're after is: 'if you love me let it remain unnamed', where for some hand-wavey reason, obi-wan and anakin from the gffa universe hop to a different universe where the jedi have fallen and there's an empress and a rebellion. they don't meet vader, but they do meet an older anakin skywalker who goes by the name set and is a smuggler, and for a few days, obi-wan has the undivided attentions of both his padawan who is in love with him and set who wants to fuck him

(spoiler alert, set fucks him. anakin also fucks him. it's a double d situation)

that fic ends with the gffa pair finding their way back to the correct galaxy (it's assumed at least) and set!anakin finding his own obi-wan in his galaxy!

and that's because i'm like a very weird writer/shipper where when i say i only ship obikin i mean i only ship them with each other's other part. i don't really read or have interest in writing a time traveling anakin story where he gets with old ben or a time traveling obi-wan story where he gets with a padawan anakin or something or an anakin from another dimension after his becomes vader. no one understands him like his anakin/his obi-wan understands him and they're a matched set!! idk how i would handle two anakins for one obi-wan in a scenario where it's not a temporary glitch but an actual long-term thing

[totaleclipse573]

BEHOLD! NO PLACE BOY! (I adore him. Totally not playing favorites.)

(If you've seen me talk about him once before..................................................no you haven't. This is a REVAMP-)

So...

Hydro is meant to represent Eclipse’s impulsive, chaotic and mischievous side. He’s known by most as a sort of sea monster, a force to be reckoned with. In reality, however, Hydro is just really bored and wants to cause chaos for the heck of it, running around over the seas and causing trouble to whoever he comes across. The Dark Arms don’t exist in this shatterspace (I’d like to emphasize on the fact that Hydro does all of this stuff because he’s extremely lonely. His species is extinct, all except for him. Whoops.)

Hydro’s favorite chaotic things to do when he comes across these pirates include :

Tipping the ship over/shaking it a ridiculous amount just to mess with everyone on it

Making huge waves for them to try and get past

Teasing the captains so they get distracted and start going in the wrong direction/stop paying attention to where they’re going

Overall just being a little menace

All of the above X2 for Knuckles the Dread exclusively (he’s Hydro’s favorite one to mess around with, and Dread HATES him. In other words, new father figure acquired.)

Of course, all these things are just in good fun and typically, nobody gets hurt. I don’t think it would be in Hydro’s nature to want to hurt anyone, he’s just goofing around. One day, though, Hydro happened to take an interest in that strange gem Dread was now going after. The one that, if he did get, he might just leave with his newfound treasure. Never come back…and leave him all alone again…

So now he’s trying to beat Dread to it. He won’t ever be able to leave his side again if HYDRO is the one with the shard he wants! (If Dread gets his hands on it Hydro WILL bite his arm.)

Regarding his intelligence, Hydro isn’t necessarily the brightest, but he’s more so intelligent when strategizing ways to prank people or cause chaos. (Please help me Hydro won't leave my brain)

1,2,3, and 19 for any OC? :3

Thanks for asking! I'm going to answer your question with my main D&D character Hai for this one.

What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?

Our party needed a tank, so I was thinking of creating a martial character with a strength based stat. You know which (fantasy) race shows up as one of the first options on D&D beyond? Half-orc.

So I chose a Half-Orc, I wanted to really go against the grain of what that fantasy race is associated with, and decided to choose a character with a noble background.

So yeah, that was the beginning into her backstory, and for most of my characters it will probably be backstory!

2. Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind? 

Yes I did! @silly-goofy-mood was creating a character concept more or less at the same time as I was, and we wanted our characters to have some sort of connection prior to campaign. We eventually decided on being exes.

Otherwise, i think I knew that I wanted Hai to have a deity so I was also aware of one god, the God of the Unknown, which was my DM's creation @theccrowsnest!

All other characters and OCs were mostly just figures from the past that only now am I really beginning to flesh out. This consists of a human mother, a human stepfather, an orc father, an orc grandma, and a younger sibling, all which were concepts that I created around Hai.

I don't know if you noticed, but there's already two dads in the equation, three because the God of the Unknown is basically a dad, four if you count the first mate who I'll touch up on later.

3. How did you choose their name? 

I wanted some spice in this fantasy campaign so I went to my heritage, but also be aware that my Chinese is pretty mid.

Hailang = 海浪 (hǎi làng)

Ocean waves. Yep. I named a character ocean waves. But! Consider that it is a pirate campaign so I needed to get even more sea themed stuff.

By the way if you're thinking of naming your character this, don't. Every time someone says "Hi" I don't know if they're talking about my character or greeting me because I'm not with a group of people who know about Mandarin Chinese tones nor do I expect them to. This was shortened to "Hai" because it was a cute nickname in my mind, until of course, reality caught up to me about the "Hi" as a greeting vs "Hai" as a name thing.

Only after I named her did I realize the conflict between the big famous Japanese wave that might be conflated with her name. I did not mean that. Whoops. And also, the Japanese word for indicating “Yes” so. Whoops x2.

Also after I named her, I realized that there's 骇浪 (Trad. 駭浪 Pinyin: hài làng) or “swelling/stormy seas" according to my translator app (can you tell, I'm not that proficient in the language). Well. My character has the personality of someone who's pretty calm so we'll see what happens. Will she start becoming more akin to those stormy seas or stay the way she is? I'm asking because I don't know either.

Saangbiar = “上边儿” trad: “上邊兒” (sǎng - An incorrect interpretation of the Wu dialect, biār - erhua Northern/Beijing Dialect)

Yeah. If I stuck to an actual Wu Chinese dialect, her last name would be "Zabiar," as zɑ̃ would be the correct tone for 上, so that's my bad.

Originally, I was going to have Hai's last name be from the north, as it means "above," but uh then my DM's map came out and I realized the location from where that last name came from would be the south.

Fair, because I also tried to use the Wu dialect, which is a much more south-eastern dialect of Chinese, in her name. Did I want to change her entire name of "above" to "below" just to fit the standards of a fantasy land? No, not really. Plus, I was getting kind of attached to it already, with the funky non-pinyin type spelling Frankenstein of two Chinese dialects that are part of my heritage (tho I messed up one I apologize to everyone on that side of the fam).

And that is how I got her name.

19. What is your favorite fact about your OC?

Ooo, great question. Fun fact, Hai's favorite fruit is oranges because the island that all the orcs are from produces those. She's got memories of sharing the pieces between her and her grandma (orc dad's side, 奶奶, iykyk).

She also shares these with the First Mate of the ship, @wall-e-gorl's character. Pirates you know, gotta keep up the citrus fruits lest the scurvy gets you, matey.

Edit: also oh my gosh I need to find the art they did of the oranges stattt
