Here is my HEARTSTEEL OC

It's the one that says Phin (heartsteel) you can look at my others I don't mind

Name: Phin Trill

Pronounced fin trial

Pronouns: They/She

Age: unknown..yet

Height: 5'10.5

Zodiac: Aries

Power/Ability: Infrasound Manipulation

Occupation: Bands assistant producer, music video director, tattoo artist & wardrobe specialist

Spouse: Yone

Quick bio/extra facts:

Phin's longest and best friend is K'Sante, he was Phin's first tattoo client and soon became a regular. They bonded due to his recent visits, not just because he wanted more tattoos. With K'Sante's recent visits, they have met the rest of the guys including Yone. Phin is an introvert through and through unless you want to talk about any form of technology, they'll never shut up.

Phin had been hard of hearing pretty much since she came out of the womb, somebody had popped a confetti popper in the hospital room and pretty much damaged her barely formed eardrums. Along with her hard of hearing, their form of speech isn't the best, no amount of speech therapy has helped. So they use sign language to communicate. Phin originally would've been a triplet, yet she swallowed both her siblings in the womb. Yes, they are a natural blonde. Phin's bike was originally her mother's before she passed, and she's worked on it since she was 10. Now the bike is perfect, greatly matching her aesthetic. Despite being a tattoo artist Phin only has three tattoos, a heart tramp stamp, a band-matching tattoo behind her left ear, and a medium medusa tattoo on the right side of her pelvis.

To work their power, they often need some sort of sound hence the guitar. K'Sante had given the angel guitar to them for their birthday. Sometimes she'll use her powers on the guy's voices, to make them louder in case of a mic malfunction. Or just to hype up the crowd.

Phin knows how to sing, just thinks it'll mess up the band's vocal vibe. Their voice is a contralto. Kayn and Sett are the only ones who know about their voice. They were singing a bit too loud while cooking forgetting that Sett and Kayn were still at the house sick.

Now onto Yone & Phin's relationship. They're the intimidating and silent couple. Yet in the comfort of their own space, they're as sickeningly close and gross as it gets. They were definitely secret fwbs to lovers. They're the parents of the group, the guys often call them mom and dad(phin being dad and yone being mom). Yone knows how to do Phin's hair. Phin had gave every member and match tattoo yet Yone and Phin's are slightly different, have a tiny heart next to it.They guys didn't know about their relationship until Yone and Phin got caught making out on the couch.

Phin smells like sorbet, their favorite dessert is key like pie, and loves mango. Phin's eyebrows are dyed black. She always carries a camera on her when she travels just in case. The guys, especially Yone and K'Sante often go to them for fashion advice. Phin is actually quite thick despite their height.

Similar to this.

She has quite a lot of scars around her lips and cheeks, hence her reason for wearing a mask. They had gotten the scars from a technological experiment exploding on her face.

If annoyed w/ any of the guys or upset, they'll take out their hearing aids and continue what they're doing. When their hearing aids are dead or for some odd reason, not working she'll place her hands on the guy's throats as they talk to further understand what they're saying. It's especially handy when the guys forget to sign to them. Since her hearing isn't the best the rest of her senses have heightened making her a hard target for Phel's pranks.

That's pretty much all I have so far. This OC really aligns with the HEARTSTEEL AU rather than the actual League of Legends lore, especially when I don't know nor do I play the game. I just love the song and the video that it has become my new hyperfixation. And I hope y'all enjoyed my OC.

So, Spooky did a thing a while back where she talked about how amazing people are, and I was inspired to do that as well! So, here are some of my rambly thoughts on a handful of people in the Superstar Daycare server, starting with Spooky herself!

@spookyuu

Spooky is an amazing person. Hands down. She is always willing to listen to whatever crazy rambles pop up. I first interacted with Spooky when I scared her by suddenly disconnecting from a call and I apologized for spooking Spooky lol. Her art is just to die for and I always feel supported when I talk to her. She’s always there to pick someone up if they’re feeling down. Oh, and Spooky is the one who drew my amazing profile picture!

@suokumi

They are slowly becoming the parent of the group, I swear. Suo is always there to make sure you’re taking care of yourself and to help you if you’re having a problem. They are so full of love and always willing to share it! If you say hi, good chances are Suo is there to greet you with love! Suo is also such an amazing artist who loves to make drawings for others. Their style is so pleasing and shaped, seriously.

@opudontdonut

Opu is full of fun and mischief, in my humble opinion. Whenever you’re talking to them, you’re going to have a fun conversation! Also, seriously, they are another amazing artist to add to the ever-growing list. HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR ANIMATIONS???? SO GOOD! I swear I can watch his stuff over and over again.

@madame-mongoose

Honestly, where would we be without Monnie and Sy? There is so much I can say about how awesome Monnie is. Her art is just- chef’s kiss. She is the queen of shapes. I swear, Monnie has made me fall in love with bugs like no one else could. Now I actually get excited when I see one and my immediate thought is to send her a picture. Her love of Ghost Busters and Frankeinstien is so infectious, I swear. And have you seen her OCs??? Go ask her about them because they are amazing, from Cassia to Barry!

@sycopomp

Like I said earlier, where would we be without Sy and Monnie? I haven’t been able to talk to Sy much, I can tell you that Sy is an amazing writer, and they have a great sense of humor! Sy’s writing made me feel feelings. So many feelings. I’m so glad I got to listen to OOIE be read out the day it was published.

@ari-fire-arts

Oh boy, I have so much to say about Ari and how awesome they are. A coder, an artist, a great voice for reading; I could go on. Ari is another person who is always making sure we take care of ourselves, from making sure we drink water to getting enough sleep. Ari is also a very hard worker, and is so talented! They were also kind enough to explain a bit to me about how coding works, which is so nice of them! Ari deserves all the love, just like everyone else here lol.

@okapikookie

Okapi is so cool! She is a kind and caring person who is great to talk to. She’s there to listen and is another hard worker! Okapi gives off a motherly and calming aura, if that makes sense? She and a few others have been coming up with an AU that is super expansive and so cool to read! I love talking to her so much.

@skittlewaffle

I will never stop giving Kay the praise she deserves! Kay’s art and creativity is just off the walls, and they are such an awesome person! Kay is so much fun to talk to. Kay is another really kind person, too. I love interacting with them and just overall feel relaxed when we’re chatting. I think Kay is one of the first people I really bonded with in the DCA fandom along with some others on this list.

@paper-lilypie

Gah, Lily is so so incredible! She was one of the first people I started following for DCA stuff. Lily is so cool and stunning, I love talking to her so much. Lily is both an amazing artist and an amazing writer. I could probably write a 5-page essay on how much I love her and her work. Lily is also great at giving us little clues to solve mysteries around CCRT, and just out of nowhere she’ll drop lore for us to unravel and I love it! It’s always a good time when Lily is around and just- gah she’s so cool!

@spaciebabie

Spacie is totally feral in a good way, honestly. Talking with them is an adventure that I love. I think they pretty much have everyone beat in the humor department and I will die on that hill, sorry. You’ll never be bored when you’re talking to them, and who can forget how they started the great Sunasspocolypse? I’m so glad they did, too, cause that’s part of how I found them on tumblr lol. Spacie’s art, OCs, ideas; they’re all stunning and I love them! Not to mention their singing voice cause damn, Spacie has the voice of an angel!

@sleepyjuniper

Oh June, such an awesome person! She is so kind and supportive, always willing to help! Visions is such an amazing fic and I still need to catch up on it and I will hopefully get to that soon. But everyone should go read it cause it’s amazing! Her art is also to die for and I swear she is going to kill me from the fluff she writes. June is so nice and everyone should go spam her and her fic with love.

@honiegoo

Goo needs all the hugs. They deserve hugs. Goo is such a cool person who is so supportive of everyone! Everyone gets excited when Goo appears. Goo is honestly such a great person that I wanna give all the love and affection to cause seriously, how can you not love them?

@nefariouslydinkle

Dinkle is so cool. I envy her expressions cause like, they convey so much with just a simple drawing! Please, teach me how you draw expressions like that! They are such an awesome person and everyone would benefit from having Dinkle in their lives!

@daunsun

I wanna give Daun the biggest hug! She is such a sweetheart (with some hilarious sass) who has made an amazing Flowershop AU that you guys need to check out! Her drawings are amazing and I wanna consume them all, respectively. Daun is also a great writer! She is just overall amazing and deserves lots of love.

@crazedauthor

Crazed? Gah, there are so many things I could say about her! She is wonderful, hands down! Her writing? So cool! I consume it all! Have you guys read 404: Personal Space Not Found? No? Well, you need to! They are such a fun person to talk to and have so many fun ideas! Go and give her love!

@certified-handler

There are so many good things I can say about Certified! She has so many cool ideas and they’re all so amazing. Her Fire Dancer AU? Dealer’s Choice? The Night Shift? They’re all so awesome and I have consumed them all with love and affection! The talent in Certified is off the charts! She is also great to talk to and I just have so much praise for her!

@cakesfunhouse

Cole is the master of dad jokes. Like, no one can beat them. Do you think you’re good at dad jokes? Do you think you’re funny? Well Cole probably has you beat. I know I said that Spacie beats everyone in humor but if they did have competition it would be Cole. Cole is such a great writer too! They love to hit you with amazing fluff when you least expect it and seriously, they are just a great person to talk to.

@derpygirl-draws

Jackie is the server baby, all praise the server baby! She is a bit of a chaotic gremlin, but in an endearing way! Her art style is adorable and I stand by it. Jackie is great at spreading cheer and positivity and I swear things would be so different without her.

There are honestly so many more people I wanna talk about but I am running out of time lol. Even if they aren’t on this list, there are so many wonderful people I’ve gotten to interact with that I could write pages of praise for. Frankly, there is so much more I could write about the people I talked about! I’m thankful for all of you, and I love you.

using this acc to make content of my two only ocs bc i need to let this out like actually i am so Normal abt them yk

btw i am a minor and some of my oc posts might (will) be nsfw so ! (also nsfw posts will mostly be abt their actor au bc)

time to introduce my sillies ^_^

cw : angst, major character death

aristonike zephyrus :

aristonike (aristo , ari , nike) is a star child (technically god) - star children are born from supernovas/when a star dies bc stars are like more god than god himself here and ya!!! so like anyway star children are just stars but smaller and not that powerful, and they’re assigned to protect a certain planet and in this case w ari she’s like protecting the earth right (dude this is sounding more cringe to me the more i type it here LMFOAOAO) so anyway yea ever since like, the start of civilization she’s been protecting this planet !!! (crazy things)

she’s been in disguise, pretending to be a normal human and living normally (she is not normal) and stuff right ! so anyway she’s also living w her other immortal-ish friends (family (hi kilogang)) and stuff !!! she is now disguised as a college student in art history, suffering even though she literally witnessed the famous historical painters do their thing

(gonna stop here bc i’ll end up explaining the entire lore that's complete unrelated)

robin autumn :

robin (lonnie , raw (hi li) , bird) is a barista who works in a café called “starry nights” and he’s like, popular. like really popular — everyone goes to the café just to see him since he works at the counter

he’s also an art history college student and coincidentally is in the same class as aristonike, the girl who he has a crush on visits the cafe frequently. so now they’re awkward classmates !

but what robin doesn’t know is that he’s actually the reincarnation of aristonike’s first love (like first first love. ever since she descended to earth bro).

their story :

as the earth’s protector, aristonike couldn’t help but get curious about the humans living there. were they like her, perhaps? or were they completely different?

she decides to descend down to earth and observes the planet quietly, walking around and befriending some of the animals in the forest she was in. then she finds a civilization — then after observing what the humans looked like, she changes her appearance to appear more like then than her actual form. she approaches the humans hesitantly, greeting them shyly — and surprisingly, they welcome her with open arms.

after staying in the village for a while, right as she was deciding to leave and go back home, she meets a young man that introduced himself to her. then she decides to stay for a bit longer, either because she was curious about this young man or because he managed to charm her, a star child.

the more she hung out with him, the more she started to get attached . she wanted to be with him more, she wanted to touch him, to kiss him, to love him. she knew what love was — did eros discover her little friend and decided to shoot her with the golden arrow ? she’d have to ask the god soon.

aristonike knew that humans were similar to gods and stars — they had the same emotions, same features, same heart. if stars fought, then she expected it when she witnessed humans fighting each other, too.

but she definitely didn’t expect them to wage war.

what was even worse was that her first love, her partner had to go to the war. she tried to stop him, she really did, but she knew that he couldn’t. so she let him go to war, but there was absolutely no way he was going without her.

fighting side by side together, aristonike was sure that they would win this war. she was sure that after this, they could go back home to their little corner in the woods and rest. they could continue to live, to love each other.

then the dagger was thrown directly into his back.

aristonike didn’t even have the time to process it until she found herself rushing towards his bleeding body on the ground, blood soaking the grass beneath them in red.

she couldn’t save him, not when he already lost so much blood and he was already close to passing out. she whispered sweet nothings into his ear, as if praying for him to hold on for just a bit more time, as if begging him to stay alive.

she thought humans and gods were alike — they had the same emotions, same features, same hearts. the only difference was that humans were not immortal like them.

aristonike sobbed and cried and mourned, and then she yelled and shouted in anger — pouring out all her emotions until they all burst into a large explosion that almost destroyed the one thing she swore to protect. her siblings had to stop her, to hold her back before she ended up destroying herself, too.

she was scolded by the stars, of course. that was no surprise. she accepted her punishment — forced to stay away from the earth for a century. and she did, using up the time to mourn over the death of her beloved. and a century passed, and she visited the earth once more.

she did the same as before, disguising herself and shyly introducing herself, and they eagerly accept her. a few years pass, perhaps a decade, and then she sees him again — her first love, her beloved, her other half.

he looked exactly the same, the only difference was the faint different colored marks on his skin. she knew that this wasn’t the same robin as her past one, but she had to give it a shot. she introduced herself again, got him to love her again, and then he died.

another century passes, and she finds him, then the process repeats. over and over and over again. yet she never gets tired of it, she never gets tired of falling in love again and again and again. she’ll love him over and over again, until she couldn’t anymore.

I actually drafted this Myths of Unova fan ficlet shortly after I finished The General’s Memory and thought more about potential character introspection for Remil being canonically ace/aro in a society in which he is expected to have children to pass on the family name and all that. And then I realized I made an error since the Kyurem kings’ bio page notes that Kyuvos married not too long after being crowned king so I rewrote some bits and polished it up!

Remil belongs to @kynimdraws and is from her nuzlocke White comic Myths of Unova! Illene (who is referred to as Lieutenant Praestigia in this ficlet since it’s from Remil’s POV), is a character I created based on Kynim’s lore to serve as a way to bounce off her OCs since I’m basically extrapolating a lot of random stuff from small details that aren’t relevant to the wider MoU plot. Very self indulgent, and most definitely could be contradicted by later lore that Kynim releases. It’s a lot of fun though!

Agape

Remil was never really one for large parties. He’d always known, of course, that as both prince and now king he’d have to attend quite a few, but that didn’t mean he had to enjoy every single one.

That said, he thought as he swirled the last dregs of wine in his goblet, this one wasn’t too bad. He could hardly believe it, his cousin, married! The new couple had been surrounded by well wishers ever since the mingling had begun, and Remil noted the flush of pink on Kyuvos’ face as Lord Luthien made a comment to him with a jolly grin. Lady Aris Praestigia was slightly more clever, hiding her expression with her goblet as she took a careful sip.

Remil smiled into his own cup. It was…honestly kind of nice to have all the attention on just Kyuvos for a change. Everyone at court had been so excited ever since the engagement was announced, and barely anyone had come to him with offers for their daughters’ hands in months. After all, no one would want to take away from Kyuvos’ big day. Remil liked that. Besides, Kyuvos was far more natural at maneuvering energized conversation. Remil was content to stand by the sidelines and watch.

“Ah, your Majesty!”

Well. It was peaceful while it lasted, Remil sighed internally. Lord Luthien had evidently decided he was done teasing Kyuvos and was walking towards Remil with a wide grin.

“Evening, Lord Luthien,” he said politely. The man laughed and glanced back towards Kyuvos, who was whispering to Lady Praestigia.

“A fine match, I should say! Those two seem as if they were made for each other!”

“Indeed,” Remil said. “Lady Praestigia and my cousin get along quite famously. We are all honored to welcome her into the royal family.”

“The Praestigia women are all great beauties of admirable skill,” Luthien continued. “Tell me, your Majesty, what do you believe is the most attractive feature of a genteel?”

Remil blinked. “Ah. Well…” he mentally flipped through years of conversations with Kyuvos about this very topic, none of which had been very helpful to him. Trying not to panic, he blurted out the first thing that came to mind. “The eyes…are said to be windows to the soul.”

“Very poetic,” Lord Luthien smiled. Remil nodded, deciding not to mention that his response was indeed, straight out of a book of poetry that Kyuvos had been reading during his failed attempt at composing something for Lady Praestigia. Which he’d been sworn not to speak of.

“You’ll attract all the pretty youths with that sort of flowery talk!” Luthien laughed, and suddenly Remil felt very sweaty.

“Will you excuse me, Lord Luthien? The summer heat is a bit stifling tonight, I think I’ll go get some fresh air.”

Luthien nodded to him and went to bother some other high ranking noble. Remil immediately left the reception hall and headed for the gardens after handing his goblet off to a servant, trying not to look like he was in too much of a hurry.

As the cool breeze of the evening washed over him, Remil let out a long sigh. He could barely hear the party from here, with all the shrubs and trees to block the sound. It was just perfect.

He navigated through the gardens, heading for his favorite spot. As he approached, however, his eye caught a flash of purple, and he froze.

“Um-“

The woman sitting on the bench flinched and turned around. She was several years older than Remil, and her violet hair fell around her shoulders in a way similar to the woman who had just married his cousin.

“Ah. Lieutenant Praestigia,” he said, bowing his head. “I apologize, I did not know anyone was out here.”

Lady Praestigia’s elder sister relaxed her shoulders and stood up from the bench. “The apology is mine, your Majesty. Please, do not allow me to disturb you.” She began to walk off, but Remil found himself stepping forward.

“Wait-“

She turned back to him, an impassive look on her face.

“It…I didn’t mean to interrupt you either,” he said. “Please do not feel like you must leave on my account.”

The lieutenant stared at him for a moment. Then, she sat back down on the bench she’d been occupying. Remil walked past it to look up at the statue she’d been observing. It was of a Braviary, its wings spread out over a trio of smaller Pokémon at its feet - a Rufflet, a Pidove, and a Ducklett.

“Do you like this statue as well, Lieutenant?”

She was silent for a moment, as if surprised he continued to speak. “…Yes. The Braviary reminds me of my own companion.” She paused briefly. “Aris likes the one in the east side of the garden.”

“Ah, the…two lovers,” Remil said. “An elegant piece. My cousin enjoys it too.”

More silence. And then, Remil found himself speaking again, to his own surprise.

“They are…quite happy together.”

“The…you mean the bride and groom? Yes, I should say so.”

Remil took a deep breath, turning to the lieutenant. “You…you are married as well.”

“Yes.”

“And you have a child.”

“Yes.”

The young king looked up at her. “What is it like?”

Her head inclined just barely. Then, she patted the spot on the bench next to her.

Remil hesitated before walking over and taking the offered seat. Lieutenant Praestigia folded her hands over her robes.

“Marriage is above all else, a partnership,” she said. “A joining of families, and of individuals, who will care for one another until the end of their lives.”

She looked out into the garden. “Some matches are unlucky, filled with anger and discord. Plenty are fortuitous, and bring love and light into the families. But they say it takes time, and dedication.”

“How…how much time?” Remil asked. “Your husband…he was a stranger to you, wasn’t he?”

Praestigia fixed him with a cool but not unkind stare. “Yes, I was sixteen when I met him for the first time. We did not even know each other’s faces before then.”

“Then…” Remil fiddled with the edge of his sleeve. “…how long did it take for you to learn to love him? Was it hard?”

She sighed. “If I am to be honest, I believe I am still learning.”

Remil frowned. “What do you mean?”

“I…do not feel for Elyias what my sister does for Kyuvos,” she said carefully. “Or at least, I believe I do not. The passion spoken of in poetry, the honey sweet words in the novels, I do not feel as if any of that can describe my marriage.”

“Make no mistake,” she said quickly, in a tone so sharp it caught Remil off guard, “I am devoted to my husband. He is kind, and gentle, and has never asked anything of me in eight years of marriage. In that sense, I am very lucky - it was a good match. He takes care of me, and in return I care for him and have given him a son.”

“But you do not…you do not love him?” Remil blinked.

Praestigia sighed. “I do not know if I am capable of that affection,” she said softly. “Sometimes I wish I could do it, for Elyias’ sake. But he would never ask it of me, and I am still dedicated to him and to taking care of our son. For him…for us, that is enough.”

“And your son?”

Her eyes went to the statue Rufflet cuddled at the foot of the stone Braviary. “Motherhood did not come naturally.”

“But.” She turned back to meet Remil’s gaze. “I would slay a thousand armies to keep him from harm. He is a good child, clever and kind, and he deserves as much. His only fault is that I am his mother.”

“…You seem rather hard on yourself,” Remil said softly.

“It is the nature of us warriors to carry more burdens than others would think necessary,” she replied.

Silence fell on the garden, and Remil looked up at the statue with a solemn expression.

“I don’t know how much more I can carry before I break.” He murmured.

Praestigia turned to him, and Remil met her gaze.

“We do what we must,” she said. “And we do our best to make the most of it. But we do not do it alone.”

Remil stared at her.

“I have my parents, my sister, my husband, and my son,” she said. “You have your mother, your uncle, your cousin, and now Aris. Which means, upon the joining of these families, you now have me as well.”

She stood, robe fluttering slightly in the light breeze. “Come, little cousin. I must have a word with my new brother-in-law.”

Remil joined her side as she began to walk back into the palace. “Do you really mean that?”

“I have been told I am quite terrible at jokes,” she scoffed. “Yes, I mean it. Family looks after family.”

“Thank you, Lieutenant,” Remil murmured. She nodded.

“Of course. And do call me Illene.”

#help I've grown fond of an oc I made solely to be a unique pov character #and so I wouldn't be contradicting existing relationships #myths of unova #kynim #fanfic #my writing #Illene's personality wasn't super nailed down before I revised this so it's interesting that she ended up being kind of a stoic person #she's only like 26 ish in this story too so she hasn't seen a lot of combat #girl needs a spa day #also that's why she's lieutenant and not general praestigia #also I gave her a braviary apparently #illene seems like a braviary lady #totally made up luthien so he's just an npc ignore him #ace remil is something that can be so personal #I'm also ace so I made illene be ace too lmao #her sense of duty does kind of outweigh her personal issues #whooo character strengths that can also be flaws

Papa and J---- Update!

Author: shadowsong26

Rating: PG/PG-13

Fandom: Les Misérables

Characters: Technically all on-page characters are OCs; Valjean, Cosette, Marius, and Javert are discussed as historical personalities. Backstory Cosette/Marius and heavily implied Valjean/Javert.

Warnings: Nothing specific, I don’t think?

Summary: Euphrasie Pontmercy–known in the art world as La Jardinière–isn’t exactly a household name. Still, the sheer length of her active career (her work was first displayed and sold in 1839, and she left one last work unfinished at her death in 1910) makes her interesting to people who actually study that century in art. But as far as the historical record is concerned, Jardinière seems to have sprung semi-fully-formed from the streets of Paris somewhere in the mid-to-late 1820s. Other than the fact that she was educated in a convent, essentially nothing is known about her parents or her childhood.

Until now.

Or:

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a PhD student with no thesis topic must be in want of an undiscovered painting to go absolutely feral over.

Disclaimer: All characters are the property of their respective creators.

Notes: Here we are with Chapter 3! Where Ari talks to Phil’s mom and gets a little more background/family lore. Which is...fairly accurate, even after nearly two centuries of generational telephone, lol. also I am. Tempted. to find someone to commission to actually make a version of the painting are any of y’all who might be artists interested/does anyone have any recommendations of artists who are open for commissions who do that kind of style

Updates will be posted here on Thursdays and crossposted to AO3 on Fridays.

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2

Wednesday afternoon, as soon as the last class I was TAing let out, I headed back to Phil’s house. I’d spoken with his mother on the phone the night before, and she’d agreed to meet me at four. Foot in the door, at least. First hurdle cleared.

Traffic was shit, because of course it was on a day I needed things to run smoothly, and I got there about five minutes late.

The woman who answered the door when I knocked was a little bit shorter than me, with the same bright blue eyes Phil had. Too old to be his sister, so this must be his mom.

“Hi, I’m sorry I’m late,” I said. “I’m Ari Wright, we talked on the phone?”

“Of course,” she said, and smiled, stepping aside. “Please, come in, ah…?”

“Ari is fine,” I said, and followed her inside. “Thank you so much for agreeing to meet with me, Mrs. Riley.”

“Oh, please, Louise is fine,” she said. “Would you like some water, tea?”

“Uh, water would be great, thanks,” I said.

She left me in the living room, excusing herself to go into the kitchen to get it, which gave me another minute alone with the painting.

Which was just as ordinary-extraordinary as it had been on Friday night. Exactly like I remembered it.

To be fair, I’d spent probably way too many hours the past few days studying my shitty phone pictures of it, so.

“I have to admit,” Mrs. Riley--Louise--said, rejoining me and setting a pitcher of water and a couple of glasses on the table. “I was a little surprised when Phil told me one of his friends was interested in Mémé Cosette’s painting.”

I stepped away from the wall and sat in one of the armchairs--not the couch; that would have been Awkward at least in the back of my brain. “I saw it when I was over here with Phil the other day, and…well, it jumped out at me.”

“Right,” she said. “So, what exactly are you looking for here?”

“Well, I was hoping to get your permission to do a more thorough study of the piece,” I said, then hesitated. “…if I can start by asking you some questions? About the painting and its history, whatever you know about it. And recording, if that’s okay. Easier than taking notes.”

“That’s fine,” she said, picking up her glass and settling into one of the other chairs.

I took a sip from the other glass, then set my phone to record audio and put it on the middle of the coffee table. “I suppose I should start with...well, I’m not sure how much you’re aware of your ancestor’s career--Phil wasn’t, at least?”

Louise smiled. “I know who Mémé Cosette was, or at least what I was told about her,” she said. “Euphrasie Pontmercy, also known as La Jardinère. I always liked listening to the family stories.”

“What can you tell me about the painting?” I asked. Obviously, if I went forward, anything she told me would have to be backed up by other sources. Anecdotal family history had a funny way of getting tweaked or embellished over the years, especially when the relative in question was someone even moderately famous. “Phil told me it’s always been in your family, and she’s your…”

“Great-great…great grandmother, I think,” Louise said, taking a moment to count. “My grandmother’s grandfather was her son René.”

The youngest of the five children. Right.

“I’m not sure how exactly the painting ended up in my great-grandmother’s possession, as opposed to any of the other children or grandchildren, but I know she was the one who brought it with her to the States, when she emigrated from France in 1912.” She smiled wryly. “According to the story, they almost boarded Titanic at Cherbourg, but one or more of the children had the measles. Or possibly diphtheria, I’ve heard different things at different times.”

“Not something you’d normally think of as lucky,” I said.

“No, not really,” she agreed. “Like I said, that’s the story, and who knows if it’s true. But I do know that the painting came to my great-grandmother somehow, and she passed it on to my grandmother Marie-Celeste, who left it to me. Since I was the only one of her grandchildren who liked to listen to her stories.”

“Had she actually met La Jardinière?” I asked. It was possible--if they’d been planning to sail in 1912, and Jardinière had died in 1910…

“A few times,” Louise confirmed. “She was about six when Mémé Cosette died, but she remembered visiting her.”

Well, that was a pretty damn solid foundation for the painting’s provenance. Again, I’d have to back up the authentication in other ways, but this was looking more and more promising.

“What about the subjects?” I asked. “The men in the painting, I mean. It’s labeled as Papa and J. Do you know anything about them?”

“Only the stories,” she said. “She was adopted, did you know that? Mémé Cosette, I mean.”

That was interesting; adoption wasn’t a very common practice in the early nineteenth century, at least not in the United States or Great Britain, and most of what did happen was very much behind closed doors. I made a mental note to add the history of French adoption law to my research list. It was unlikely, but maybe I’d get lucky, and there would be some kind of record of the adoption somewhere. If I could track down exactly when and where it happened.

“No, I didn’t,” I said. “Unless there’s something in an obscure French biography I haven’t been able to find and muddle through, I don’t think anyone knows much of anything about her childhood. Which is one of the reasons this painting is so interesting. When did this happen? And where?”

“I don’t know where, exactly,” Louise said. “Some little town in Normandy, maybe? Somewhere in the north of France, I’m pretty sure. Again, according to the family stories. It was when she was around seven or eight, I think? Before that…I don’t know. My grandmother didn’t know, or if she did she never told me, but I think she had the impression that it wasn’t a very good situation. And then Mémé Cosette was adopted, so that’s where Papa came into her life.”

“Do you have a name for him?” I asked. “Her marriage license listed her maiden name as Fauchelevent, but was that his name, or from her birth parents…?”

“That I don’t know,” she said. “All I know is that she was adopted, and that she named her eldest son for her adoptive father.”

And Jardinière’s eldest son’s name was Jean, which was. Extremely, unhelpfully common.

“Do you know which of the men he is?” I asked. “In the painting, I mean.”

Louise got up and went to the wall to examine it. “I…think the bearded man. My grandmother obviously never met him, and I think her grandfather--René, I mean--was very young when he died, but that matches up with what she heard from her aunts and uncles, as she passed it on to me. He was a very private person, and supposedly very strong. One story--and I can’t say I believe it’s true--involved him physically carrying another man to safety for something like twelve hours after some kind of disaster.”

Which…well, Louise was right, that story didn’t seem all that credible. But the more general description, and the kind of man who would give rise to that sort of story, did match up with the impression the painting gave.

I stood up as well, leaving my glass on the coffee table, and joined her at the painting. “What about the other man? The mysterious J?”

“We’re back to a game of generational telephone on this one,” Louise said. “I know even less about him. But my grandmother said he was a close friend of the family, according to what Mémé Cosette told her when she asked once. That he and her--that is, Mémé Cosette’s--father lived together for the last decade or so of his life. Not sure which him she meant.”

…well, all right then.

My eye was, once again, drawn to J’s hand, resting on the back of the chair. And they lived together, maybe, for a decade or so.

Of course, that could mean a lot of different things. And, you know, it’s easy to see what you want to see, especially when there’s so little information to go on. Whatever their relationship was, though, I’d been right in my initial impression of intimacy. Whatever kind of intimacy it was.

“Right,” I said. “I think that’s a good baseline, at least for now, but I might have more questions later. And I…not that I’m saying I doubt your version of the story, or anything, but…”

“But if you want to actually research the painting, you need more proof than half-remembered family stories after two centuries of generational telephone,” Louise said, and smiled again. “It’s fine, I know how research works. I remember when my husband got his Master’s degree.”

“Yeah, exactly,” I said. “Thank you, for your understanding. Um, so, with your permission, I would like to borrow the painting for a few weeks. To authenticate it, and do a more detailed analysis of the technique and construction and so on, see what else I can learn from the actual physical piece.”

“Right,” Louise said, turning back to the painting again, thinking. “Just to study it, you said? And, obviously, write about your findings if you find anything worth writing about. But you won’t put the painting on display in a museum or anything?”

I shook my head. “Not unless you agree to it, no. I’d take photographs, to include with the paper, but the painting itself won’t go on display unless you allow it.”

“And when you cite it…I don’t know how it works, exactly, but you wouldn’t have to specifically name me?”

“No, I can just list it as being in a private collection.”

“Right,” she said. “…I have to admit, now that you’re here asking questions…I didn’t really think about it before. How many gaps there are in the story.”

“It’s funny how memory works sometimes,” I said. “Especially…well, like you said, when generational telephone gets involved.”

And it was…a weirdly appropriate question in context, since that was something Jardinière had come back to time and time again in her work. This idea of memory, and how it lines up with reality. How it changes. Those repeat paintings she’d made of the same locations in Paris over the years. The series of paintings of her own memories.

And, of course, her last painting. Souvenir--inachevé. Memory--unfinished.

Definitely need to get to Chicago to see it in person.

“True,” she said. “All right. Under those conditions--that the painting won’t be displayed, and that you’ll leave my name out of it, you have my permission to borrow it and do whatever tests or study you need for your research.”

“Thank you!” I said. “Thank you so much, this…I really appreciate all your help, Mrs.--Louise.”

“You’re welcome,” she said. “And I hope you’ll share whatever you find with me, before publishing?”

“Of course,” I said. “It’s your painting, your family history.”

“Good,” she said, and smiled again. “I hope you find what you’re looking for.”

“Me, too,” I said. “Me, too.”

Ari or Robin, not sure what I should call you. 😭

I would like to know the significance of the blood vial necklace. If you would like to go into detail on it. 👉👈💖

Robin is fine!! :D Ari is just my url / oc, might get confusing .......

But! Yeah! The blood vial!

So, in the Markarth prologues, Gwendis gives a bit of information about some vampire lore and culture. The first part only triggers if you're not a vampire or werewolf — she gives a mortal player a pendant that lets them see using vampiric sight so they can see the sigils left by the gray host. She says it's infused with her "essence", and I take that as blood, because vampire blood seems to be pretty powerful given the stuff she says when you're at the castle.

When you're exploring the Host's old castle, she'll make a dream-walking potion to go through Verandis's memories of the place. You need blood for that. Luckily, she says she has a vial of Verandis's blood, because it's a Ravenwatch tradition to exchange blood samples to keep on hand. She says something about how it's a dangerous thing to give blood to another vampire, which is an interesting idea. In my head I kind of associate it with blood magic from other media: you have someone's blood, maybe you have some control over them, or because it's vampire specific, the ability to kill them?

But it's also a show of trust between the Ravenwatch! You're basically holding a part of everyone else's life in your hands. It makes sense to me that Verandis, who'd betrayed his former family because of their cruelty, would put a measure of safety into his new family to say "one of you goes bad, any one of us can put a stop to it".

I took both those ideas and put them together to say hey, it would make sense for the pendant to be infused with actual liquid blood. Kept in a crystal or glass vial to actually use if the time ever comes for it.

For Laurent and Fenn, in what I write for them... Fenn gives a pendant to Laurent after the Tzinghalis situation. Not only out of a need to keep Laurent safe by helping him see with heightened senses, but to say "you saved my life and because of that, I trust you to continue to keep me safe and not abuse this trinket". It's also symbolic of welcoming Laurent into the Ravenwatch, even without permission from the rest of the family, because Fenn already knows he's welcome in Laurent's family. It's reciprocation.

#details might be iffy since it's been a while since ive done the prologues!#shame that they hide some of the lore behind being mortal or not #like the sneaky fenn lore .... smh #asks #simping-master-69

gimme 17, 22, 7 for Ari the beloved warkitty <3

Warkitty hours!! :D <3 (Took a second but here you go!!)

17. What sort of role do they take on in relationships, either familial, romantic or platonic. i.e. are they a defender, protector, nurturer, etc.

Oh, defender/protector, most often, for sure. She got her 'band name because she sheltered Lifa and Weylon from a storm with her magic; she continued to serve in that role for them and the rest of her 'bandmates for as long as she served as legionnaire (~15 years); her first real bonding moment with Cio was defending her from a sylvari-turned-Mordrem after their airship crashed (while just having been stabbed in the leg by a piece of debris)...I could absolutely go on but will stop here for now.

22. What is some advice or guidance they received that had a big impact on their lives or outlook? Was it a positive or negative impact?

Hmm. Good question.

Ari has had a decent amount of people give her advice over the years. The highest concentration of it can be found in the somewhat typical things she heard as a cub in the fahrar (listen to superior officers because they know better than you, don't rely so much on your magic because it makes you seem weak (and makes us uncomfortable), don't believe in false gods, etc.). To some extent, she's thrown most of those out the window nowadays. If you disagree with orders, it's worth it to question them. Her magic is one of her strengths and she's not ashamed of it (and she fought very hard as a cub to prove that point). She doesn't believe in any gods, but a couple of her friends do, and they're not lesser for that.

Honestly, I think the most key piece of advice she ever had anyone give her probably came from Pliarr (Cio's brother, whom I always need to talk about more and never seem to actually do that for alsdjkf). Ari originally joined the Order of Whispers to try to figure out a way to rescue Brook and Casca from the Flame Legion, but that came crashing down around her head when she got a missive from the Citadel (from Lifa, as a sort of final goodbye) saying that there'd been a raid on Flame and that both of them were almost certainly dead. Pliarr found her in a hallway, holding the missive and entirely frozen still. He talked her off the ledge--which I mean pretty literally in all senses other than it being a literal ledge--and convinced her to stay with the Order. He's also the first one to suggest to her that she might enjoy being a pilot.

They weren't super close friends, but they stayed connected and were friendly, at least. (And Ari had no idea Cio was his sister until maybe like halfway through the events of HoT when they all ended up in the same place. Which was a while after that first meeting--she only met Cio right at the start of HoT, but she'd known Pliarr since ~1322-1323 xD)

7. If your OC could meet any historical or past figure, whether in the real world or in their own canon lore, who would it be and why?

Ari honestly doesn't particularly have anyone she'd like to meet who's a historical figure, so my answer to this is going to be someone I think would be neat for her to interact with...hmm. I think it'd be very interesting to see her interact with GW1 characters. Ari would get along mostly well with Pyre Fierceshot, but it'd be a bit odd (different time periods, very different environments growing up, different opinions on the other races to some extent) and not without friction. I cannot see her getting along with Gwen at all, but I can see mutual respect at some point. Out of my GW1 OCs, I think she'd get along best with Daisy--eventually (Daisy would need a Minute thanks to, well, understandable personal baggage re: the Searing; and whether Ari were to meet during-the-GW1-main-storyline-Daisy or post-canon-Daisy would change a decent amount).

Honestly, though, this is really fun to consider even if only because their frames of reference for the world would be super different from each other. So even if their personalities match up in many ways, they have inherent differences from that alone. (I don't know if I said Any of this in a way that makes sense, but there you go!)

#gw2 #ari stormshield #i-mybrunettelady #thanks a bunch for the ask! :D #ari facts for u

next up is the letter R please and thank you

OC Alphabet Soup

Send me a letter of the alphabet A-Z, and if I have an OC starting with that letter, I'll tell about them. There's a few choices for R..

First to come to mind is Russ.

Russ is a literal genius. Like "studying medicine at age twelve" type genius. But he's the mad scientist sorta genius. The sorta mad scientist genius that likes to scoff at things like proper scientific conduct and ethics. He will bemoan at length how he is unwelcome in many scientific circles due to Very Unfair treatment at the hands of The Establishment when he was a teenager. Is there some truth to this? Yeah probably. But it was actually the Highly Risky and Decidedly Suspect magical self experimentation that got him in trouble. (He still is dealing with a messed up metabolism--and should count himself lucky it's just that. Moral of the story--magic is dangerous and there are rules in science for a reason) Through a series of interesting events around the time he was sixteen or seventeen he came to the attention of Valdez. Who decided to hire him. Literal genius with fascinating notions about magic? Yup. Gonna hire that. Mike on the other hand had reservations. He was overruled. (spoilers: Mike was right!) Russ's current goal is to find the right configuration of runework to essentially make a 'bigger on the inside' something. A bag. A box. He isn't picky--just wants proof of concept to work and not implode on itself.

Some fun facts:

named himself 'Seymour' when he was younger because he thought it sounded dignified and old fashioned and liked it. He no longer likes it. Currently goes by 'Russ' as a shortened form of his surname, Russel

Can't cook for shit. Many have attempted to teach him. He has diligently attempted to learn. Still can burn water and possibly explode a kitchen.

A bit of an oddity in that he can call up fire magically, not get toasted to a crisp himself and is not a natural pyromancer (rare by the rules of my lore because fire is Just Not Something That Takes Orders, Magic Be Damned)

Had never dated until he was in his 20s, started falling for someone (Ari) and had No Idea What To Do About That. He ended up being a bit old fashioned about it and it worked because it was Awkward and Sweet.

Some Russ Memes:

Can I ask about the ocs you mentioned in one of your posts I can’t find anything else about them 🥲

Okay originally I was going to be a sickfic writer and not only posting prompts as I currently do. I had 6 ocs (my 2 loves ‘Milo & River’ and 4 fansty/nonspecific period au characters ‘Ari,Alice,Dawn & Royal) and about I think a near full year ago i decided that I wasn’t happy with the work I had with them/ the introduction posts and took those all down with the intention of improving my writing plus their lore, backstory’s ect and…

So about a couple months ago, Iwas actually in the mood to work on them again and when I went looking for the document I put all their stuff on I couldn’t find it. 🙃

Now to present I’m still a little salty and haven’t gone back to them (though talking about them has given me some motivation to maybe start them again but that comes with a small issue)

(The problem of having to come up with a new name for the fantasy crew because I loved the original name I came up with for their little story but I think it’s best to change it and I’m not doing a good job of thinking of a new name also I want to re do their back stories but have blanks about how to improve them.)

(Also I created another completely different au and have been thinking about that a lot more lately then the ocs I already established whoops 🤭 (anyone remember the guardian angel prompt I listed I made, they may or not be from that but again talking about my first ones have me motivation to go back to them.)

But sorry for the long post, I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for anon but that’s what has been going on with them, though this was vauge about the actual characters themselves if anyone ever wanted to ask something about them I would melt into a puddle because I see people post stuff about their ocs and get questions and I want that to be me but it’s my fault they aren’t on this blog anymore but if you somehow ever come up with a question from this please feel free to ask 🥰 (I will love you)

#Thank you anon :))#It was nice to talk about my idiots/loves

Lolicassé Profiles

(I'm so sorry for this I know it's ugly af!😭 the quality completely died when I imported the images into my computer.) Welcome one, welcome all! To Lolicassé the dorm of misfit toy! Founded on the intellect of the toymaker (though it's technically "founded" on a Micky mouse episode just like the Ramchakle dorm). The students in this dorm all use a classification of magic known as "creator" which permits them to build marvelous inventions and toys from simple everyday objects. Students here, are also able to transform into some sort of toy, which sometimes makes it hard to tell the students apart from the actual toys littering every corner of the dorm. If you are thinking of paying this dormitory little visit, BEWARE the students can get rather clingy and obsessed, and are not above using rather unorthodox means to keep their new playmate with them forever!

Meet the Students of this patched up dormitory.

Xerxes Starness Year/Class: Year 3 Class A Seat 8 Birthday: 18/01 (Capricorn) Age: 18 Height: 183 cm Dominant hand: left Origin: City of misfit toys Club: Robotics Best subject: physics Hobby: Inventing new devices and fixing up old inventions Bad with: Sleeping Favorite food: Chocolat Disliked food: any seafood Special skill: Fixing broken tech He is Lolicassé's dorm leader who can transform into a tiny remote control robot. He's a direct descendant of the original "founders" of the City of misfit toys. His childhood was rather isolated, having two very strict parents that we're obsessed with the idea of creating the "perfect child". Even in Night Raven he still continues to distance himself from other people, which has resulted in several rumors about him to rapidly spread.

Special ability Optical database When he looks directly at an object or person he is able to pull up numerous information about them. His brain is the equivalent of the world wide web. It is rumored that this isn't his original special ability and that his mother stole his birth ability instead of replacing it with a man-made ability

Edgar Ross Year/Class: Year 3 Class B Seat 26 Birthday: 04/04 (Aries) Age: 19 Height: 189 cm Dominant hand: left Origin: City of misfit toys Club: Magical Shift Club Best subject: Protective magic Hobby: Exercising Bad with: Not invading peoples personal space Favorite food: Anything with gravy on it. Disliked food: corn Special skill: Sharpshooting

He is Lolicassé's deputy dorm leader who was raised in a military household and in such pride himself on being the "perfect" soldier. He's rather old fashioned and keeps a formal attitude with whoever he meets. He devotes himself to "protecting" his dorm members which have caused him to get in multiple fights with students from other dorms. It is said that he idolizes Xerxes father. He can turn himself into a toy soldier like the rest of his family members.

Special Ability Icy bullet He is able to emit glacier bullets from his body that freeze what every they touch. Due to his polished target skills he hardly ever misses his target.

Ray Sanada Year/Class: Year 3 Class C Seat 19 Birthday: 24/06 (Cancer). ‎ Age: 18 Height: 177 cm Dominant hand: Right Origin: City of misfit toys Club: Studying movies club Best subject: Alchemy Hobby: Sewing dolls Bad with: Focusing on one task for long periods of time Favorite food: Strawberry cake Disliked food: anything grape flavored Special skill: Memorizing books quickly

An emotionless boy with a doll-like beauty that can transform into a porcelain victorian era doll. His beauty is rumored to rival that of the Pomefiore perfect. He is said to be deprived of emotions. He rarely speaks and doesn't have any friends. Some students say that they see him roaming the Ramshackle graveyard in the unholy hours of the night.

Special ability Dollhouse his special ability permits him to bring inanimate objects to life. However they have to be objects that he himself makes. As of right now his ability can only keep something alive for exactly 3 minutes and 52 seconds.

Ezequiel Autumn Year/Class: Year 2 Class B Seat 18 Birthday: 18/10 (Scorpio) Age: 17 Height: 182 cm Dominant hand: Right Origin: City of misfit toys Club: Board game club Best subject: Summoning Hobby: Video games Bad with: Talking to girls Favorite food: Soft drinks Disliked food: spicy foods Special skill: Hacking

A shut-in with absolutely no social skills. No one knows what exactly happened to his mother or any of his aunts but he was raised by his father and uncles. Due to this he rarely ever spoke to any girls and freezes whenever he has to talk to them. With the acceptance of his godmother who happens to be Xerxes' mother. He considers Xerxes his only real friend. He is able to transform into an anime figurine. It is rumored that he has a pair of wings though no one has ever seen them.

Special Ability White Raven, Black raven It is unclear if he was born with this ability or if it was implanted in him when he was a young child. But his voice is able to manipulate the will of others. After an unfortunate incident some students have speculated that he also has the ability to control the life span of those under the influence of his voice.

London Lore Year/Class: Year 2 Class C Seat 5 Birthday: 31/10 (Scorpio) Age: 17 Height: 179 cm Dominant hand: Right Origin: Villiage of Harvest Club: Basketball club Best subject: Summoning Hobby: Collecting buttons Bad with: Keeping track of time Favorite food: Pumpkin spice drinks Disliked food: watermelons/ gravy Special skill: Sewing customers

A lazy second-year student with an unsettling creepy aura around him. He can transform into a rag doll, although even in "toy form" he is still very unnerving to be around. He was created in the city of misfit toys, but raised in the Village of Harvest were his family owned a small farm where they mostly grew pumpkins and corn. The chain around his neck tethers his body and mind to the soul of a famous killer, although this is all just a rumor it's still more than enough to get other students to avoid him at all costs.

Special Ability Plague's kiss He can emit a deadly toxin from his body which causes people to transform into hideous monsters and submit to his will. Although even after years of practice he is only able to create a max of five monsters.

Valentino Kartinez Year/Class: Year 2 Class A Seat 3 Birthday: 09/09 (Virgo) Age: 17 Height: 173 cm Dominant hand: Right Origin: City of misfit toys Club: Science club Best subject: Arts Hobby: Hosting tea parties Bad with: Ripping open his stitches Favorite food: Cookies and milk Disliked food: Vegetables Special skill: Cooking and baking

A trickster, who's elaborate tea parties are talked about all over the school and usually gather a large crowd. He grew up in a crowded family consisting of 13 siblings in which he was the "middle" child. His family owned a famous chain of restaurants that were known for their "childlike glow". Due to the restaurants taking up much of his parent's time, Valentino became accustomed to staying at home and only having his siblings as companions. Although he did enjoy the company of his younger siblings he detested his older, bossier siblings. His toy form is that of an old mangled teddy bear.

Special ability Childhood tea party Valentino is able to create a lifelike simulation of someone's memory, however, the illusion only lasts up to four minutes.

Jess Box Year/Class: Year 1 Class A Seat 23 Birthday: 14/12 (Sagittarius) Age: 16 Height: 171 cm Dominant hand: Left Origin: City of misfit toys Club: Basketball club Best subject: Magical Pharmaceuticals Hobby: Designing tattoos Bad with: Keeping his voice down Favorite food: Pudding Disliked food: Raisins Special skill: Memorizing nursery rhymes

A loud, hyperactive claustrophobic first year who's voice seems to constantly be echoing around the halls. Despite being a Jack in the box, he hates small, dark, confinements. He's rather happy go lucky and usually doesn't care much about what goes on around him.

Special Ability Pop goes the Weasel His body becomes as flexible like a spring, permitting him to jump around and attach to walls. According to a certain hunter, Jess's special ability would make him an amazing huntsman. Although the first year seems to prefer using his power set to prank his classmates and teachers.

🐻❤️ 🐻❤️ 🐻❤️ 🐻❤️ 🐻❤️ 🐻❤️ 🐻❤️ 🐻❤️ 🐻❤️ 🐻❤️ 🐻❤️ 🐻❤️

Alright so this is how I'm going to do things. Interactions are open for these characters, meaning you guys can send them asks (yandere or normal. How they would react to something/Someone up to you), just talk to them or whatever else you can come up with. I'll do my best to answer everything, whoever if I think an ask better deserves a drawing as an explanation I'll put it on hold and make a quick sketch for it later. This whole dorm was really a giant drawing practice and since I really want to start digital I might re-draw them later (not likely but we'll see). I'm thinking if these characters get popular (Idk 55 likes and maybe 10 interactions) I'll release sprites of the characters doing poses similar to the TW boys (basically how I imagine them if they where in the game) and maybe later even do some chibis of the boys. Although I seriously doubt anyone is going to like or read this 😂 🤣 😂🤣. Also a huge thank you to everyone that encouraged me to continue working on this it means so much to me! And a special thank you to Rinna ( @minoux-deactivated20200516 ) the creator of Terrorwood who inspired me to take the first step in making this dorm. If anyone wants to make an oc for this dorm feel free to do so (let's be honest no one would want that) just please tag me.

My oc’s aka too long of a gd post

The “BL” Crew (does not stand for boys love I’m just a moron who made that abbreviation before knowing what it stands for). My main crew and main series, a lot is a big WIP right now as I’m slowly redoing the first book and all the lore. Why? I love torture. Book is fantasy type but I won’t specify what.

Lacie, the protagonist. God tier idiot, bisexual bipolar depressed MESS, insomniac, former theater kid, doesn’t know what she wants out of life but currently it is not This(plot of book). Hot headed, impulsive, crude, rude, Mommy IssuesTM, would rather be taking a nap right now, rules are made to be broken, absolutely fucking FERAL, more bags under her eyes than the airport lost and found. 5’5, 130lbs, Aries, age 18, white as shit like literally the whitest human you have ever seen, strawberry blonde hair in a 2011 Hayley Willaims haircut with long bangs, the darkest brown eyes you’ve ever seen that stare directly into your soul. Lanky, no curves, body of a 12 year old boy but works out so she can and will kick your ass and thats a threat. Not human?

Josh. Soft boy, smart, Lacie’s cousin and only friend for like the first 18 years of her life, autistic anxious mess who’s special interest is anchient egyptian history, is in honors classes, despises math, passes out when his girlfriend looks too cute, just needs a hug. Can eat a whole carton of easy mac if left alone, whole wardobe is the same outfit just different colors/hoodies, sensory issues, seriously can someone give this guy a hug. 5’9, 150lbs, Pisces, age 18, mixed (half whatever flavor of white Lacie’s family is [they don’t even know its just some scandanavian shit and irish], and half mexican on his mom’s side), medium olive skin with freckles and moles, dark chocolate brown hair that’s a bit of a 2009 Beiber cut, warm brown eyes, not beefy, a lil thicc and self concious about it but squishy boys are GOOD. Gets bit by a werewolf so now he is one his mood on it is “thats a lot to unpack but let’s just throw the whole suitcase away”.

Extremely well-off, for now. criminal record. Not long enough. vices. She drinks more than she’d like to admit and while Niamh fucks, she doesn’t consider that a vice.

If you're still taking random questions, I'd love to hear more about how you come up with your characters! Do you start with a concept, or do you just pick some combination of class, background and looks and see what happens? If you do have a concept of some kind, does it change as you start playing the game, or does everything go mostly like you planned? I'm just always really curious about everything that goes on behind the scenes, so to speak!

I’m always happy to get random questions! Thanks for asking! :)

Short answer: I’ve done it both ways, but with my more recent characters, I tend to start with a concept and work from there, because I feel like that helps to flesh them out more easily. Quite often things do change as I actually start playing; I find that the more fleshed out the character gets, the more they start to take on a life of their own, and they don’t always develop in the same way I’d initially thought they would.

Long answer:

Ariela was my first Watcher (or a version of her was, anyway), and I picked a class/race/background without actually knowing anything about the world lore. I liked the initial backstory that I came up with for the character, but the more that I played in the world, the more I realised it didn’t really fit well with canon. I was too attached to the character by that point to just scrap her, though, so I just kept tweaking little parts of her story and background, bit by bit, until a few variations and a couple of playthroughs later, she ended up as the person she is today. Most of her personality came from gameplay, but certain things came about from small details I included in fic that I ended up really liking and latching onto (she wasn’t a sweet-tooth until I started writing her in fic, for instance).

There was a couple of things that came about from game limitations with Ariela, too; I ended up making it canon that her appearance changed between games, because with the Deadfire character creation options being so different to those in Pillars 1, I couldn’t make her look anything like she had in the first game, and there was too much of a dissonance in my mind to just pretend nothing had changed. And so, poor Ari got the ‘brush with death turns hair white’ trope, and it became canon that she’d full-on been killed when Eothas had returned, and her partial soul couldn’t quite deal with the shock & trauma of death and resurrection, and so her body had been physically altered as a result.

Faenna was another one where I started with a race & class, but I found it hard to get into their gameplay because I hadn’t really started out with enough of a personality to work with. Most of the little personality that they have comes from a few ideas I’ve had when answering OC ask memes, but there’s a good chance that they’ll go through a number of changes, the same as Ariela did, once I actually try to play them again. After them, I decided to change tactics a bit.

With Aubrey, I wanted to play a chaotic character, and worked backwards from that idea. ‘Chaos’ is pretty much Wael’s whole thing, so I decided to make her a Priest of Wael, and a lot of her backstory sprouted from there. I liked the idea of a mystery that she was trying to solve- something that would have kept her moving about from place to place throughout her life- and I tried a couple of different things that didn’t quite feel right, until she ended up as an amnesiac, which in turn led to her free-spirited personality; wanting to enjoy every moment of the life that she could remember.

For Mia, I had a vivid image of her personality before I had anything else; confident, a little self absorbed, not necessarily well-meaning, but not cruel either. I toyed with the idea of making her a noble, but I’d already done that with Ari, so I figured that with her flair for the dramatic, perhaps some kind of entertainment background might be a good fit instead. Once I’d settled on making her a singer, the chanter class was a no-brainer, Her background is still open to change atm, because although my headcanon right now is that she was initially from Readceras but has been travelling about since she was a kid, there’s no official culture choice that’s from there, and the ‘artist’ background is only available to specific ones anyway, so I might end up tweaking her a little to more accurately fit with her game canon when I start playing through her story.

I’ve rambled on a lot there, but I hope that kind of answers your question? I’ve approached it a little differently every time, and each way has it’s own ups and downs tbh. Ariela went through a lot of variations until she actually felt like she fit into the world, where with Mia, I think I’ve gone too far the other way, and come up with an idea for a character that fits well into the world but isn’t necessarily able to be recreated in the game. Faenna didn’t have enough personality for me to work with, where Aubrey has too much personality to recreate with any kind of nuance in the game. But they’re all my babies and I’ll figure them all out eventually!!

It’s actually funny how I headcanon most fandom characters as CIS while ALSO having a minor alternative headcanons for the exact SAME fandom characters as trans, questioning or fluid. OR for a handful characters in reverse: I headcanon them as Trans or fluid and have a MINOR alternative headcanon in which they are cis or questioning.

Completely different if I create an original character for a fandom or for my original ideas:

OC are EITHER established as cis OR trans / fluid never questioning, never with an AU.

Also species in which AGENDER with ‘it’ pronounce is the default happen a lot when I create OCs (Almost all my sheep-like OCs are agender.) (sometimes an agender OC like e.g. Aris uses an agendered pronoun for itsself but Aris role in mythology often asigns a gendered pronoun so when I write draw something from a Lore-POV I often write ‘him’ although Aris like every of my Necrosheep lacks the concept of gender. )

Curiously enough I barely ever headcanoned an establish fandom character as actually agender yet, mainly because I use agender as default gender for entire species AND also because most cartoons I am a fan of I grew up with the german dub, as usual the German dub of any cartoon automatically gives ambigious characters a gendered pronoun since they/them pronounces and terms for people are rare in German language (although it probably is used more often in modern German dubs, since suggestions for gender-neutral terms were made over the past few years, but I haven’t heard it being used in any non-documentary yet. Only exception where characters were always neutral gendered during my childhood in the german dub as well was when Pokemon, also those with humanoid bodys, (in G1) is refered to with it. This btw. sounded extremly weird to most adults back when I was a child. They said: Why do they call the animals it? This one looks female and this one looks male so it should be he and she. So Pokemon for me are agender, even though they apparently have sexes and mating (I didn’t like the sexual difference being introduced in later generations, for me pokemon are still agender and I still have most female and male individuals look identical like in G1)

(BTW: If I could choose MY species I would choose to be an agender, asexual species like my Necrosheep are.)

Even fandom characters who are kept ambigious (not counting entire species of characters) are usually defined to me as fluid, sometimes inter, and with one prefered pronoun they usually use for themselves (e.g. Crona who is kept ambigious as far as I know, is for me amab and genderfluid but with male pronounce and sometimes female pronounce. That is because in the CARTOON’s German dub Crona is refered to as male while in the MANGA Chrona (for some reason written with h over here) is refered to as female and as I grew up with the Cartoon version’s dub, Crona for me is nonbinary amab with mostly male pronounce, only sometimes female ones, but not agender as I probably would have headcanoned when I grew up with a different version then the German dub.

I often don’t like getting used to changes when the first version of a fandom’s character is different in a version I saw later or when changes are being made over the time.
