🧊 and 🍎for cursed bodies any oc <3

thank you for the ask! here's some mayumi content and some extremely rare information about her life before her death.

🧊 : is their current design the first one? / very different, mainly because the way in which she died has changed therefore changing how she appears as a ghost. i always had this idea that ghosts can alter their appearance to either make themselves look more normal or more horrifying depending on how they feel (or maybe under different circumstances, i keep adding to the ghost lore so it could change), and so mayumi will have flashes of how she looked when she died and it definitely can be filed under horrifying, whereas she was more normal? kinda??? the outfit in which she died in has also changed, before she was wearing more street clothes, now she's permanently stuck in her pjs (i'll add on that it's a pair in which dorothea has a matching set which makes their reunion even more interesting).

🍎 : what is the oc’s relationship with their parents like? / it's very complicated. while on one hand, she loved them very dearly and would've kept in contact as much as she could. on the other hand, she knew that she was the black sheep of the family and therefore kept them at arm's length because they've never tried to understand her. they'd never question her suddenly no longer contacting them because there'd be periods where she'd do that before popping back into their lives again, therefore, they'd never question her silence and not realise that she's dead.

mayumi sakamoto / THE GHOST.

AGE: 23. POST-DEATH DESCRIPTION: transparent corporeal body that can sometimes look monochromatic, veins on her body are black and noticeable through the skin, short black hair, grey eyes, 5′8, athletic body type. SEXUALITY: lesbian.

ABOUT.

MAYUMI SAKAMOTO went missing on the morning of JANUARY THIRTEENTH. not much as is said as to what had happened leading up to her disappearance, according to her NEIGHBOUR, mayumi left the apartment in the early hours of the morning and hadn't been seen since. in her apartment, all her things were still ACCOUNTED for, making it clear that she hadn't packed up her things and left. however, this did not rule out FOUL PLAY, especially when a GRAVESTONE with mayumi's name and the date, JANUARY FIFTEENTH as the death date appeared on the NINETEENTH, a week after her disappearance. when investigating the grave, not only did they find it EMPTY, but police were told it was paid for by an ANONYMOUS DONOR with no clues as to who it was from. strangest part about her DISAPPEARANCE and SUPPOSED DEATH, is that a woman with her DESCRIPTION has been seen often standing in front of the grave. POPPIES also are frequently placed on it with no trail as to who's behind it.

SOUNDTRACK.

I. bloomed into blue / MAYA HAWKE. ‘she can’t be herself, she’s gone ballistic.’ II. haunt / BASTILLE. ‘i’ll come back to haunt you, memories will taunt you.’ III. right where you left me / TAYLOR SWIFT. ‘she’s still twenty three inside her fantasy, how it was supposed to be.’ IV. goodbye / MARINA. ‘goodbye to the girl that i was. goodbye to the girl that you lost.’

Malachite: What do the characters have to lose?

thank you for the ask!!

MALACHITE: What do the characters have to lose? / i feel like this is a basic answer, but a lot of them do have everything to lose. henry and eli could go to jail if their crimes are exposed, dorothea could lose her reputation not only if she were found out, but also if her brother was. theo's a bit tricky because he has everything to lose, but the difference is, is that he's more willing to allow it to happen, to allow his family's reputation and his own name to get tarnished, as well as have his own secrets exposed as a means of taking down his brother. mayumi is similar to theo where she doesn't have anything to lose, but that's because she's dead and can't really lose anymore more after losing her life.

Happy Blorbo Blursday! Do you absentmindedly color code your OCs? Do those colors show up in the writing or only in the categories in your head?

--@oh-no-another-idea

hey cass! thanks for the ask and sorry this took a bit to get to. admittedly, i started answering and then shoved it in my drafts to completely forget about it.

i do shamelessly colour code my characters, i honestly love doing it so i'll probably always do it. but most of the colour coding is more in my head and either subtle or in your face, although that last one only applies to the twins. this also probably isn't the normal way of colour coding characters, but it makes sense to me.

theo's red; a short fuse that's waiting to ignite and when it does whoever is in the firing line isn't safe. but when that fire is dim that he'll keep you warm in a sense that once you have his trust, he's extremely loyal, yet it's also his greatest flaw.

eli is blue; calm and collected that often uses sarcasm and snark at anyone. but he's also like the ocean when he can be calm but without any warning a flip could completely switch and he becomes a storm that leaves destruction in his wake.

henry is green; the kind of green that you think with a forest. where you look at it and don't dare go close because of the intimidation that comes along with it, only to venture forth and realise that it isn't so bad, it's calming and you keep coming back.

dorothea is two colours; where henry is a foresty green, dorothea is an emerald green, very luxurious and expensive. but she's also a deep red like the wine that she drinks and the perfect shade of lip stick she wears and uses to mark up people's skin.

mayumi is black; death caused her to appear grey scale, it allows everyone to see her to know that there's nothing human about her anymore, that instead, she's more of a shadow that lingers, always present even if you don't know that she's there.

🪼🪓💀

thank you for the ask!! these were really fun questions to answer.

🪼: what would your character do if they were stranded at sea or trapped underwater with monsters? (it could be sea gods, merpeople, sirens, etc.) or maybe they’re stuck in a coastal town where they’re sacrificing people to the sea. what do they do? / i'm going to try my best with this one, because none of them would be able to handle anything coastal (maybe theo and eli, definitely not the twins). eli would probably be the only one capable of surviving against anything that isn't sirens (because he would fucking die to them), very much final girl status with him. dorothea and henry would survive purely because they wouldn't be caught dead in the water, they would be there at the beginning, realise shit is happening, and fucking leave like smart people. mayumi would either be the first to die or be the creature killing people because that's just fitting. theo,,, i have no idea? he would either die to save eli or get seriously injured that he somehow lives and gets carried off into ambulance before the credits roll. 🪓: does your character have an axe to grind? a need for bloody vengeance against someone who wronged them? why? / ah, this question fits mayumi perfectly. woman gets murdered by nathaniel ashford and stuck in the living world as a ghost because she's unable to move on. why? she doesn't know, she just wants justice/revenge and it's theo who theorises that she won't pass on until she gets just that (i will not be confirming or denying if that is). so she drags theo into it all, when all theo wants to do is just anything but that (yes, he feels guilty but he's used to just ignoring the shit his brother does), and with it, she eventually gets eli, henry and dorothea involved, mainly because she knows they'll do a better job than theo on his own. admittedly, mayumi barely does anything outside of watching on thanks to the limitations of being dead, she can interact with objects, but not harm people, something she learned the hard way after she spent over an hour trying to kill nathaniel in various ways before going to theo. but everything that does happen, whether good or bad, happens for her. 💀: is your character afraid of dying? if so, how far would they go to cheat death? / mayumi is terrified when she's dying that she focuses on the fact that theo is there basically holding her for most of it, especially because it begins slow before nathaniel steps in, and i think in a different universe, someone would take pity on her and let her live once again, but in cursed bodies, she's just a ghost. henry's interesting because i could never imagine him dying brutally like anyone else. i can't explain it, but he would most certainly die in a way that allows him to accept that it's happening therefore, he wouldn't fear death nor go to cheat it. this is kind of the same with dorothea. while both do things that would get them killed to keep them silent, somehow they would live until they're old and just die in their sleep or something like that. no need to fear death or cheat. eli, he would hands down be the kind of character who would cheat death in any way that he would. he kinda has a death wish in the way that he's just annoying that someone would be bound to just shoot him in the head and somehow he would walk away from it. it would be a klaus hargreeves situation from umbrella academy where he dodges death to the point where death would hate him for it and try to kill him themself.

horror themed ask (pt 2)

🪞 and 📼 !!

thank you for the ask!!

🪞: what would your character do if faced with an evil doppelganger? would they run away, fight? is the doppelganger a reflection of their inner fears? / eli, henry and dorothea would straight up just murder their evil doppelganger without any thought. they're already bad people (not evil, just not good people), and therefore would never allow their doppelgangers to just roam around. mayumi would probably just hire eli to kill hers, while she's not on the same level as the others (i'm still debating if she's going to be doing illegal things before her death, but she wouldn't be as bad as eli), she's well aware of what they do and therefore would just know it would be a bad idea to have hers around. theo, he would be absolutely tormented by his and would do nothing to stop him. his evil doppelganger would just be his brother but with theo's face. and i think theo would do one of the two: he would eventually snap and just murder his doppelganger violently to finally free himself, or theo would just allow his doppelganger to take his place and fuck off somewhere to live peacefully. because really, his doppelganger would be everything that nathaniel wishes theo was (well, mostly), and theo would just be fine with leaving him to live theo's life. theo would kinda hate it, but not since for once, he'd be able to live in peace without caring if his doppelganger is murdering people alongside nathaniel. 📼: if your character found a cursed videotape, would they play it? how would they get rid of the curse? can they? / there is only one person stupid enough to do this, and it would be eli. he would just see it sitting there and go 'oh, what's this?' jokingly thinking it would be like something stupid or video blackmail and watch it. he would get out of it, but not without everyone else's help. henry would probably figure out through some online forums about the curse or theo through his extensive knowledge of things. and once eli would get out of it, everyone would give him shit for getting cursed.

2, 6, and 9 for the oc tech game!

thank you for the ask <33 you're very lucky with this because this is probably the biggest look into mayumi's life before her death, so this was fun.

2: what’s on their lock screen? / mayumi's the type to have her own art as her lockscreen, most probably a silhouette of dorothea that she hasn't found it in her to change. 6: write out a text exchange between them and another oc. / i struggled with who to have this with. but i think this one with henry that's their last exchange together before mayumi's death (like a week or so) is a good one. MS: can you tell your sister that i don't want to see her anymore? THE DUMB TWIN: are you THE DUMB TWIN: i'm sorry THE DUMB TWIN: you're breaking off your little agreement with thea THE DUMB TWIN: through her twin brother? MS: it's not like we were dating, dumbass. MS: can you just do it? i don't want to talk to her. THE DUMB TWIN: oh THE DUMB TWIN: i know what this is about THE DUMB TWIN: yeah, i can do that for you MS: thanks chicken. MS: you take care. THE DUMB TWIN: you too 9: what are their most frequently used emojis? / ❤🥰🖕

tech themed ask!

📂📂📂📂📂

thank you for the ask!! i honestly debated whether or not to have five facts about one oc, but due to my inability to choose between any of them, have one fact about each character.

theo / the only thing he has that once belonged to his mother is an annotated copy of pride and prejudice that he keeps locked away in his safe, but will read it around his birthday in remembrance of her.

eli / the reason why he has such a green thumb is because sometimes his job gets to him and finds comfort in keeping things alive due to how many lives he's taken.

dorothea / despite her falling out of love with ballet, that doesn't stop her from going to see shows whenever she can and it's become a known fact that she'll send flowers to the female lead.

henry / he'll check in on his mother every month by hacking into her accounts to see if she's still alive, and sometimes (most of the time) if he's feeling petty, he'll steal a small amount of her bank account but enough that not only is it noticeable but also annoying.

mayumi / there's a blog that details the various ghosts that wander around london and it has a section that is dedicated to her as she's one of the few ghosts that isn't stuck to one place. this does however mean that she doesn't tag along with theo whenever he leaves his flat as she doesn't want someone to make an unneeded connection between them.
