i am delighted to inform you that wild bears seeking out and swinging on hammocks is in fact a fairly common occurrence!

Oh! Oh! For the mutual thing, in relating to tss, who would be a light side and who would be a dark side? Would any of them kinda be like Virgil who changed sides? Or maybe opposite? If you wanna go further, what would they represent too?
Alright Anon, I hope you know you inspired something amazing. Mutuals, I have here Sanders Sides OCs with each and every one of you in mind, including Icons (which is why this took a while to finish). Anyway, I hope you enjoy them and feel free to draw or write with them, and maybe come up with some ideas or designs for my own (Because I couldn't figure out a good fit to make a OC for me). Here we go, and I hope you guys enjoy! <3
Let's start out with the creativity twins (Two sides of creativity):
@h-ad3s - Instinct (Dark Side)
Tumblr media
• Instinct represents the wild, spontaneous side of creativity - like painting or writing your feelings out, when you do something just because you want to.
• Very Impulsive at times, and because of their reckless nature can get the (what do you call it? Thomas part?) 'Thomas' in trouble a lot, leading to everyone pegging them as a dark evil troublemaker
• As with their twin, Instinct can turn into a animal at will - theirs is a raccoon.
• Found late at night rummanaging through or sleeping in garbage. 'Why, Inst? You have a bed!' 'Because. The funny smells calm me, plus I wanted to.'
• Has eaten glitter, glue, bar soap, and even a ceramic mug (No one knows how they ate the mug to this day.)
• But, when feeling sad or someone else is sad, they usually are found in raccoon form cuddled up in Protection or Imagination's lap, sleeping.
@dee-ree-vee - Passion (Light Side)
Tumblr media
• Passion represents the creating for creation's sake side of creativity. They create not based solely on emotion, but because it brings them happiness to create. Passion represents just happiness and drive for any hobby, and the drive to improve. As well as, you guessed it, passion in Relationships as well - weather it be platonic, familial, or romantic.
• Despite being told to stay away from Instinct because they're dangerous, and that they were the 'better creativity', they still try to chat and connect with them because of their past closeness feeling like family.
• They can turn into a cat at will like Instinct, and usually use the form to sneak out and meet Instinct in the 'Creativescape', a middle between the darkscape and the mindscape, where they are crowned ruler.
• They love free time of any kind, and enjoy the constant creative drive with weekends or holiday breaks, and are usually the ones who come up with gift ideas or little surprises for Friends, Family, or SOs.
• Can get overwhelmed by expectations of always doing things right and never making a mistake, in that way being slightly jealous of their twin.
• Their favorite thing to do is help make dreams with Imagination and fight off nightmares, sometimes even Instinct joining to help.
@lightyagamisqueen - Protection (Dark side)
Tumblr media
• Protection represents Fight or Flight as well as Anxiety, but also white lies at times to take the pain away, to protect. The lies leading them to become a Dark Side.
• Has a very hard time relaxing, leading them to get burnout quite often from their overly taxing job, and Instinct, being the only other Dark Side and who knew them well would always be there to comfort when it all became a bit too much, or when Protection was so emotionally tired they broke down and cried.
• Likewise, Protection knew Instinct too well to always be there to hug and hold closely when they felt so abandoned and alone, even confessing to them once they wish they could stop the impulses but it hurts them physically to do so, and Instinct showed them their scars.
• Protection protects and stays up often at night in the real world to protect from monsters in the closet and to hold the 'Thomas' tightly when they got too scared. They live off of coffee and redbull.
• Once didn't sleep for almost two weeks for a cram finals session, and Instinct had to help them recover.
• Cannot watch horror movies, and usually gets overly anxious and worried walking home alone at night, especially in the city.
@pastel-candies - Inner Strength (Light Side)
Tumblr media
• Inner Strength represents Hope, and Strength to keep going when things get hard, as well as Positivity and a co-gatekeeper of emotions, the other being Inner Child. But, while Child's emotions are more fuzzy and less prominant, Inner Strength's are more intense, leading them to get very emotional at times. Also they represent ignorance, pushing bad emotions or negative thoughts away, thinking they're just getting rid of them and not realizing they're repressing.
• Has plant powers that are tied to emotions, meaning if they're happy, plants will grow around them, if they're sad or angry or upset, they turn into not just killing plants but also slightly life sucking when every other side gets close.
• Is the slightly more 'moral' one than the rest in being the one to get scared and think Instinct and Protection are being more hurtful than helpful and kick them out.
• Has their own little garden with a specific flower in their room that isn't fazed with her emotions, being infused with all the emotions that were too intense to handle, good and bad. They talk to the flower and vent when things get tricky.
• When the 'Thomas' is upset, Strength usually works with Protection sometimes when things get really low, but mostly the two switch off depending on the situation.
• Lately is having regrets and confusion over kicking the other two out, but doesn't know if inviting them back will hurt the 'Thomas'
• Is protective of Passion, Reason, and Inner Child and will do anything to make sure they're safe.
• I imagine them wearing a flower crown, I dunno-
@the-duke-of-deodorant - Reason (Light Side)
Tumblr media
• Reason represents and helps with the process of memory and new information, as well as the leader in solving any problems, math or otherwise.
• Reason values the truth above all else and makes sure the 'Thomas' knows the truth of any situation, despite and emotions they have at the moment, leaving them and Strength to butt heads a lot.
• I picture them with a black and white checkered tie...
• Geeks/Nerds out with Passion about Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. They often binge watch many movies and shows, and.. Even have their own code?
• Tries to be there during the emotional fallout Strength gets in, and usually is talking through their door, sometimes Strength's hand sneaks out when the door opens a bit for Reason to grab.
• Teaches Child about the world, leading them to grow into a pretty stable teenager, and the two share a very familial bond.
• Doesn't really understand the whole fear of Dark Sides and visits sometimes, even once helping out Protection during their burnout.
• Is prepared - always has a first aid kit handy and helped Raccoon Instinct when they got a nail stuck in their paw and couldn't transform back.
@antisocialdragonenby - Imagination (In the Middle)
Tumblr media
• Imagination is the main gatekeeper of all dreams and daydreams, and has complete creative control in the Creative scape, making anything they imagine in their mind come to life there.
• Could have been ruler of the Creative scape but turned it down, claiming it wasn't their style. Instead they live in a treehouse and chill.
• Probably the most calm in a crisis.
• Out of the Creative scape, they have a cloud they ride on and use for many things - spying on others, viewing past dreams, and viewing made up scenarios or dream scenarios they have, as well as just a hammock to nap on.
• Is well trained with their powers, and uses their imaginative strength to fight nightmares in the dreams that seem to be finding their ways in randomly.
• Is usually the one to go to for advice or just to rant to, closely followed by Reason. This is how they find out about everyone's problems, fears, and turmoil - like how Protection thought they were the ones who caused the nightmares, and Imagination calmly explained that it had nothing to do with them, that they just appear, and that it's their job to help.
• They're fun to hang around and go on adventures with. They like specifically going on adventures with Child, but will tag along with Passion and Instinct from time to time
And finally, @if-i-had-a-spoon - Inner Child (Light Side)
Tumblr media
• Inner Child repesents your childish side, as well as childhood memories and emotions. They're the only and first side to grow up from a child when the 'Thomas' is a teen, to a teen when the 'Thomas' is a adult. As a result they're babied sometimes and always treated as the youngest.
• They love looking at older memories and remebering them, although they panicked, figuring out the memories faded as they got older.
• Always a fan of candy, and squeals at cute pet and baby clothes, even making small accessories and gifts for Raccoon Instinct, whom they called 'The trash gremlin' when they were a toddler, and for Cat Passion, whom they just called 'Pretty'.
• Always tries to hold onto stuff from childhood, especially the "Thomas" 's old teddy bear, which they have a copy of for comfort.
• Now, as a teen, they love to write poetry and draw little baby animal sketches, and listen to MCR.
• Responsible for reminencing during random times.
• Although they look young, they're just as capable and smart as the others, fighting for the 'Thomas' to be truly happy, and to be there for everyone, light or dark side.
• I picture them with light purple headphones...
And that's everyone! I hope you guys like them!

Ocean Waves
Ignis and Chrome spend a day at the beach, a fluffy short fanfic.
CanonxOC "beach episode" goodness ensues.
Ignis continued to eye the ocean by Galdin Quay's lively restaurant, the overwhelming aroma of sizzling fish upon the large grills from the center of the hotel made even his iron stomach rumble with desire. He pressed his hands to his abdomen, hoping nobody would notice the subtle indication that he was hungry.
Noctis was out to the pier, fishing the day's hours away, successfully piling his catches in a nearby cooler. His dark hair was baking in the heat of the sun, plenty of sun screen was applied to his regal face, his jacket now discarded among his bait. Prompto was content, relaxing in the shade of a nearby bungalow. He turned every now and again, barely opening his glossy blue orbs. The world turned slowly. Gladio mimicked the sharp shooter, a book slapped over his nose and forehead as he took long, content snores in a hammock between two palm trees, shirt removed as beads of sweat glistened upon his tense, muscular skin.
Chrome however appeared frustrated. She paced back and forth, hands clenched into fists. Her blonde mop of hair barely flowed about with as much product as it contained, trying her best to continue the style that mimicked her sibling's. Her fair skin was starting to become red and pink in the heat of the summer sun, her freckles jutting out like specks of brown pepper on a white sheet. Ignis met his green eyes with her own, cocking a sandy eyebrow. She huffed and dragged him into the shade, "How are you so comfortable?" She complained, shoving her hands onto his chest, "You're wearing all this heavy leather and it's black!"
"It is my job as the strategist to always keep a calm demeanor. However I will agree with you, it is an unusually warm day." He fanned his hand slightly before she grabbed his wrist and gazed up to him with starry eyes, "Do you want to go swimming?"
She had spent so much time with him that she knew the difference between a thoughtful face and a scowling one, despite the two looking almost identical. He placed his knuckles to his chin for a moment, "It would be refreshing...and I would get the benefit of seeing you in a bathing suit. Are you able to swim?"
"Of course." She confirmed, failing to hide her reddened cheeks from his observant words, "I even got a swimming suit from Prompto the other day! It's a green bikini!" Ignis allowed his lips to curl into a smirk, "Did he model for that one as well?"
"How do you know about that?" She held her shoulders in opposite hands, crossing her arms over her breasts. The genetic clone of hers had used his own proportions to help purchase her date dress, one that she kept tightly locked away at her RV back near Hammerhead Garage.
He chuckled, "Darling I was there when it happened. The man trusted me alone to go with him."
"Well that was probably the smartest move on his behalf...the guys would never let him live that one down."
"The whole thing was the idea of the prince. Prompto was pondering how he could help improve your down mood." He relaxed a bit, "Allow me a change of clothing and we may swim together." She bounced on her toes excitedly, "Ignis! You're awesome!"
"I try." He huffed, going towards an outside stall. "But do apply more sunscreen. You're absolutely heated over." She followed him and sighed, entering the female enclosure. She dressed, surprised at how modest the actual suit was. it covered all of her breast nicely with two deep green cups. Her bottom half matched, and had a small decal of a tonberry upon her behind.
She reluctantly smeared the cream over herself, cursing lightly at its cold, slick feeling soaking into her skin. The smell was pleasant at least...
She exited and waited for a moment, holding a striped green and white swim bag over her shoulder. Ignis stepped from the enclosure and she could swear for a moment she heard the Astrals singing. He was well proportioned and his lean body was coated with an even tan. He bore goggles now, tightly fixated to the sides of his sideburns. His trunks were a black color, bearing four pockets on each side. Beyond the hair of his head, his body was smooth and silky looking.
He admired her form too, she was curvy and yet still very adorable. She giggled heavily as she approached him, "We have towels right?"
"I always come prepared." He held a finger up and returned inside the curtains. He pulled one out for her, which bore a cartoonish image of an Adamantoise. She gasped with joy and grabbed it from him quickly, cuddling it close in her arms. "I love it!"
He revealed his, a deep purple with leopard spots. She smiled at it, "It looks like you just stretched your shirt out!"
"It is one of my favorite patterns..." He noted, slight embarrassment in his tone. "Come now, let's not waste time."
"Yes sir!" She saluted and ran towards the sandy shores. The texture of the uneven ground was strange under her feet, it had been too long since she had experienced it. The heat of the sun also singed her lightly. She yipped and bounced quickly, finally sighing with relief as she hit the cool waters. Ignis lay out the towels side by side under the shade of an umbrella.
"Oh wait..." Chrome snapped and turned around towards him. He hummed as she waved him down, "There's a surprise in my bag! But i forgot to blow it up!" He gave her a confused stare until he found the item she spoke of. It was a box, containing a large inflatable pool toy shaped like a donuts. He chuckled at it, "Do you really need this?"
"I guess not." She swung her hips back and forth, watching the ocean kiss the shore. He sighed gently at her subtle request and within moments, began to blow air into the large floating device. Within moments he had it fully inflated, and followed after her into the clear waters. She giggled as he stuffed it around her core. She shook her head gently and popped from it, setting her bottom in it and relaxing her top half, floating atop the wavy surface in a bliss. He beamed lightly as he pushed her along. He stood on his toes and kissed her forehead, before flipping the entire thing over and she yelped.
"Hey!" She gasped as soon as she popped her head from the water, "What was that for?"
"Amusement." He simply stated and she leapt up, grasping his shoulders and dunked the both of them under the surface. Once they came up for air, they continued to splash each other with roaring laughter and playful yells. She stopped for a moment, noticing his hair beginning to flop over from the moisture.
"Iggy, your hair?"
"What? before I joined the crownsguard it used to look like this all the time."
"I like it!'"
He pointed at her wet blonde locks, "Yours is quite lovely as well."
She struggled at first to float on her back but did so quickly, hovering around his middle. He effortless plucked her up and gave her a devilish grin, "I've caught myself a lovely fish." "Oh please, you're not Noctis. I bet you couldn't catch a fish to save your life."
"No but I could cook it into a fine dish!" He nuzzled her nose slightly before plucking a tiny kiss from her mouth. She hummed in pleasant surprise at his spontaneous movements...Ignis was hard to read sometimes and the playful nature he was exposing was refreshing.
She stared down at her stomach and toes, "i think I'm gaining weight..."
"It's refreshing to see." He told, concern rising in his tone. It was true, her form was starting to flush out with health, "You were so very wan when we found you...I hope you never go hungry again."
"If i stick around you I'll get fat!"
"Good!" He dropped her back into the water and she landed with a large sploosh. When she came up, she simply glared as he continued to rant, "I like them plump! With blonde hair and a hundreds of freckles that mimic the night sky! A woman none other than Chrome Animalia, my future bride to be!" He placed his hands on his hips, watching her wiggle away.
She scoffed and splashed him again, returning to the safety of her floating pool donut. "Oh please...you were just trying to get food from those poor vendors."
"Poor? They get noble earnings from us dear lady." He cocked his eyebrows, swimming to her side, hanging on the edge of her floatation device. She admired him and they intertwined their fingers together.
"Hey." She mewed, poking his nose.
"Hay is for chocobos my lovely."
"I love you."
He was always thrown off when she stated this out of the blue. Despite not being as eloquent with her words, her bluntness was welcome.
"I love you too Chrome."
They shared a kiss and she pouted, "You know, I've kinda noticed that you tend to take care of everyone else before yourself Iggy. What's up with that?"
"It's a terrible fault of my own, and I'm attempting to shake it from me." He admitted, gazing down at his feet under the ocean's surface, "It's natural instinct and years of proper training. Despite my advising to the prince, i am to follow his word despite all good consciousness not to."
"Like driving at night?" She cocked her head. "That is purely for safety..." He sounded distant. "My mother in Tenebrae...she was wounded very badly transporting me back from the safety of the Crown City...before I decided to permanently move there myself."
"You were alone?"
"Not quite. The king hand picked me from my classmates to be his son's regal advisor, despite only being a few years older than the boy myself." His voice rang with nostalgia, "My childhood was quite abnormal. i was the young scholar, and i excelled in everything. But when it came to field experience, i lacked talent. That is part of the reason I found you so interesting, and still do. I know it came from a past of difficulty, but it has made you a more rounded person." "Aw...so you like me even though I'm not smart?"
He rustled her hair a bit, "You are smart Chrome, in your own unique way. Everyone has intelligence, just different kinds. People are so vastly different, it's amazing to try and comprehend it all. What you lack, I make up in certain ways. Just as you said, I could never have the talent to fish. But Noctis does, and therefore we make a good team."
"That's what this is all about...being a part of a team!" She flexed her biceps and grunted slightly as he twisted her about in the water by her hand. "Yes my dear...a team and a family." "I'm really glad I found you guys." She told as he plucked her from the floaty and danced with her along the water's depth, feeling the ocean move them about, "I know I've said it before but I'm not sure what I would have done without you."
"Trust me, if anything my dear, we are more than happy you came along as well."
They swam and danced along in the waters for a few more moments, before returning to the dry land and letting the sun dry them out. Ignis bought her a fruity concotion and enjoyed listening to her stories of taming beasts, and of her growing personal bestiary she planned on sharing with Lunafreya at the wedding as her gift. They looked for crabs and other small creatures along the shore with no luck, and enjoyed a hearty paella dish for late lunch. When they returned to the towels for the final time, Chrome found herself simply drained of energy.
Despite starting to doze off, Ignis layer her continuously with the protective lotion. She clutched her lover's hand in her slumber, dozing off in the evening sunlight. He plucked her from the earth, carrying her like a damsel back to the hotel room. He covered her gingerly with a the blanket once they returned to the bed's surface, finding himself intoxicated by the smell of the salt clinging to her body still.
She smiled very slightly as he planted one last kiss on her forehead, and turned his body away so that she would be able to cling to his bare back. He found himself relaxed beyond comparison and finally shut his eyes with content.
