33, 40, 45 for the oc ask meme?

Woah I finally have a proper day off without having anything scheduled! So some more oc ask doodles it is because I still have a bunch of these in my askbox ✨🧡

33. Your shyest OC?

Rhiam. Though often during any kind of intense moments like in fights Rhiam gets into some kind of flow state where they just act on intuition (because they don't have time to overthink).

45. A character you no longer use?

Oh so many! But at the same time I don't know? Because I tend to have some active stories and characters I rotate in my mind and some stories are kind of abandoned (for now), but time to time I pick some old characters from them and reuse them in some new setting. Here's one that I haven't been tempted to recycle though:

I don't even remember did I name her anything besides Queen. She was a cold monarch in the first version of my oldest proper story and one of the story's main antagonists. She was replaced with other kind of antagonists over time as the story developed. She wasn't very deeply developed since I was like... 14? when I made the story. She was obsessed with keeping the power in her hands which drove her to severe paranoia that made her blame the story's protagonist's love interest of stealing the magical crown jewel and the protagonist was to find the real culprit. Her son Lumi, on the other hand, who was just a side character in the original story, became a more important character in the later versions of the story. He was also forgotten for a time but lately I resurrected a version of him to my space ttrpg that I've sometimes posted on my Patreon. So, some version of this queen also still lives as Lumi's mother.

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters?

So many to so many! Majority of my ocs I've created or introduced to shared projects of me, @iijadraws & @artist-rat so creating ocs and stories is mostly a communal activity with friends for me 🧡 There are the protagonists of our graphic novel (currently on back burner), Kasimira, Sonja, and Idla, that are very dear as we started the project in 2016 when we were getting to know each other. Currently I'm cherishing Rhiam's ttrpg campaign Heartland which artist-rat is DMing as during it we have been getting back to hanging out just the three of us after life got in the way (there were happy things as well, but time consuming). But there are two characters that came to mind first when thinking about fond memories:

Pujo ("Mugwort") and Paju ("Willow") are twin characters of me and @artist-rat (Paju is mine, Pujo Rat's). We created them when we weren't in that good place (at least I was in the pits of depression and burnout). And also after we hadn't seen each other in half a year after I was studying in Canada. They are not us, but there's also something that makes them the most "us" characters we have. They have had rough times and a bit broken family, but they are always there for each other. I projected my depression heavily on Paju, and kind of started to resent them because I started to resent myself. But my friends loved Paju (and me) despite their flaws and depression and so I also started to gain my own self esteem ❤. For us they embody the kind of comfort there is in a not-that-grand commuter town apartment that has been made in to a home despite the bland facade. Or going to get takeout late in the evening, but it's still warm and light because of the northern summer's barely setting sun. They started as Skyrim characters, but have since been adapted to many settings. A couple of years ago I started to draw small slice of life comics about them, but I got busy with graduating etc. I've been thinging of starting that kind of a project about them again though.

"I think this is the most inhuman; and human, that I've ever felt.." MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.

Castoria's ahoge tilts down like the usual Artoria ahoges but Aesc's curves up like Arthur's 🥺

Woohoo, it's my birthday!

23 skeleton kisses for the birthday gal woop woop.

Lil Man hogging the spot light too smh.

Was too tired to go into crazy detail after using so much creativity in another piece teehee

So I saw a post floating about questioning the intentions behind Jaskier’s sexuality in S3, and I want to kindly remind everyone that respectful queer representation in media is still sorely lacking and so damn important (perhaps now more than ever) no matter its intentions, and Joey and Hugh handled it beautifully.

Guys I am so proud of myself:

I recognised that I was feeling like shit so I did something about it to make myself feel better!!

(i wrote it down and cried)

I also had some fun!! I went on a walk!! I watched a movie!!

I did it guys!!! I dealt with an emotion in a healthy way!!!

"It's because he's from the mountains."

"I'm from the–?" Langa inhales sharply, thinking his words carefully. "Reki." The boy looks at him, a carefree smile brightening his face. "Reki, have you been telling people I used to live in the mountains?"

"Well, yeah? That's where you're from, no?"

"No? Reki. Reki, I used to live in a metropolis. I'm not some... Recluse mountain person..!"

Reki stares at him, blinking. "You're from... But the snowboarding?"

"A car. We'd drive up."

"But you- You used to drive up every day?"

Langa sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. "No. We didn't... We'd go up on Friday afternoons and come back Sunday night. We had a- Did you really think I lived 17 years in a mountain cabin or something?"

"Maybe?"

The stan in me having a convo about Tamlin’s flaws:

I love all your adamsapple posts! As a fellow angst fan, would you mind givin an overview of all the angst at the beginning of the relationship? Specifically like Adam dealing with falling from heaven and stuff

Thank you so much! I love thinking about them hhhh

Hmm, if we're going for Adam dealing with being a fallen angel now, there isn't a lot of Adamsapple at this point imo (or at least not necessarily lol)

Well! If you didn't see it, I talked before about how I think Adam would go through something very similar to the five stages of grief. He would first not really believe that this is happening to him. Him? Adam? The first man who started it all, in hell? Impossible. There's probably some weird mistake going on here. But besides what I said in that post, yes, of course he would panic, be angry, etc, when he sees his newfound demon form. He probably doesn't have a lot of time to dwell on it at first, either because he starts getting killed by demons left and right, or because Lucifer had already found him etc etc. In any case, there isn't a lot of self reflection happening.

But then once things settle in, he sees his reflection for the first time, and it's upsetting. In my sinner!Adam design, his hair is completely black now, his horns are now real, his feet feel foreign for him (he hasn't yet seen that they're now hooves) and there's just... This heavy burden on his shoulders tells him his bad, it's the weight of the sins he's committed, but he doesn't recognize the feeling, he's never had to think about the justness of his actions before..

But he still thinks this is some kind of mistake, that either Lucifer or Charlie or even God is playing a prank of him, this isn't where he belongs. He keeps being a nuisance, an asshole, he's condescending and rude and doesn't take anyone, much less Charlie's hotel, seriously.

And then things progress, things change, he's now trying to "redeem" himself but he only half believes it. Or rather, he says he still doesn't believe it, but there is already a seed planted in his heart, that maybe, just maybe, they are all right and he really does deserve to be here.

This is nothing but a mere thought in the back of his head that he crushed every time it tries to resurface though. His conscience is catching up to him but he still won't admit any fault.

And then he sees his red blood for the first time.

Blood, thick and bright, with an unmistakable red color that he hasn't seen on himself for literal millenia. At this point he's been dead longer than he was alive, so it's only a distant memory. The truth finally manages to resurface in one big wave. Demons bleed red. Sinners bleed red. People that have earned the punishment of God bleed red. People that don't deserve kindness, that are damned to eternal suffering, that were deemed guilty, bleed red. He doesn't even get mad anymore. He doesn't cry, he doesn't scream, he just stays there, looking at the blood trickling down, his blood. And it finally dawns on him that he's here because of his own actions, because of his own evil. His body and emotions become numb and he goes on autopilot for a while, until he finally snaps. At someone, at something, it doesn't matter, anything to get rid of this stupid feeling that he's worthless and that he's never meant anything, that he's just stuck down here for eternity unless some angel has pity on him and kills him on the next extermination.

Luckily for him, he has people around him that know exactly what that feels like, and now, they're willing to help out. For real this time.

I made some fanart of @skeletoninthemelonland's Behind the Codes AU! I love it a lot!! It's a really good AU, and one of the few FNAF AUs that I love a lot! Below the cut is pictures of the original sketches and inking for the first two pictures

Bonus:

Have the chaos of marker and pen marks comparing colors to see what would colors would fit them

De-aged Derek angst can't be that bad right? Yeah. Yep....

Faerghus Four praise lines (all A-rank praise lines) !

Most are character-specific, but Dimitri has the same lines for Sylvain and Ingrid (at the bottom of the post), and Sylvain has one unique line for Felix and Ingrid each, and one that they share (last three one pics)!
