Just driving down the road jamming out and dreaming of an OC animatic I'll never make~

[arukana]

While waiting for her Tumblr to be made, our new alter is gonna just post on here sometimes

Does anyone imagine their OCs getting jealous when it's been a while since you drew them? I was drawing a pic with a bunch of my OCs in it, and then I imagined Atsuko crying from not being included so I drew them, but then Uta felt super left out because she's a ghost and most people can't see her and she's used to getting ignored, so I also have to draw her and also everyone else. I started crying I love them all so muuuuch ,>.<,

Also, I am plural but I don't think my OCs are alters and I just love them a bunch, but maybe idk.

Reactions

[the-shade-system]

Oh lord

yeah we got all of those reactions back when our syscovery happened, and then we proceeded to cause at least 10 people over the next few years to syscover by a mix of complete accident and Noticing Things.

[arukana]

The majority of the people we talk to also ended up being plural 😭 something something birds of a feather

[monsterpotion]

[monsterpotion]

[arukana]

I second this... pls im dying...

Forgot to post it for Valentine's Day here, but here's a sketch of Airyl and [Webcomic Spoilers] kissing. Our body had really bad fatigue all day and couldn't draw anything, but our new alter pushed through and drew this for me anyway — even with our hands shaking 🥺

[arukana]

My new alter started drawing a new OC, but then I pointed out that she looked a LOT like our VTuber. She then proceeded to add like 5 different things to the head and she STILL looks like Aru 😭

I think it's really the face, hair, and especially the cat ears — color will probably save it lol. Also, a word from her:

Hiiii! I still need to come up with her name, but she's so cute >A< I need to make my Tumblr because I have like 20 OCs to share with you! My sketchbook is around 30+ pages including comics and other stuff and also fanart as well, lots of Yuri =u= Also apparently that's impressive? Everyone keeps glazing me... I think I said it right?

Katsu: Of course not~ Get with the times you 2012 relic!

Akane: Do you know what it means, Katsu-chan?

Katsu: Uuuh I.. uh... It means... Die!

Akane: No it d— OH SHIT *dodges knife*

O-oh no what have I done, I got them started again >.< I have to gooooo byeeee!!!

Seriously, she's been averaging 2-3 fully filled out sketchbook pages per day — absolute madness. Also, she loves to do this thing where her OCs talk in her posts, which I think is adorable 😭 we're just trying to think of a name for her Tumblr and then her content will be over there 💖

[arukana]

We need more mainstream anime where girls kiss... I swear, if I had 3 wishes —

That probably wouldn't make the cut to be honest, but it's AT LEAST top 15

[arukana]

New alter is now writing poly Yuri fanfiction in addition to everything else she's doing, this is insane lol. Also, we really need to figure out the name for her new Tumblr so she can start posting stuff, she has SO much content

It's a Shin Sekai Yori Maria x Saki x OC fanfic, she's writing it because she REALLY ships Saki x Maria, but knows that they don't end up together. She also made a really interesting OC. I'm having to help her with grammar because she (naturally) has the knowledge of a 14 year old lol.

[arukana]

New alter is SUCH a weeb it's insane lol. She really is a time capsule of early 2010s anime culture. She insists on buying Pocky, Ramune, and other Japanese snacks, and generally isn't interested in anything that isn't anime or manga. She also does a few things that haven't aged well, and should probably be worked on — things such as using random Japanese in her regular speech and giving all her OCs Japanese names. She's 14, so it's not too surprising lol.

All in all, she's settling in with the rest of us pretty well, and we're nearing the point of system stability where we can resume regular activities. We just need to carve out a few hours for her to watch anime and draw every day. New alters surfacing is very taxing on our brain and body, and there's usually a 1-2 week recovery period.

[arukana]

Reblog this with a pic or description of your OC and we might draw them :3

Also, feel free to infodump about backstories & stuff!

[arukana]

After catching our new alter up on everything that's happened in the 13 years since she last fronted, she replied with "are we god's vent character?" and I'm still thinking about it

[arukana]

Past few days have been really rough for our new alter — she's dealing with time skip stuff, as well as the fact that we're disabled now and the fact that our body is older than she is.

Despite that, she's been drawing every day. Here's 3 of her OCs as chibis — she plans to turn them into stickers to put on her sketchbook & backpack. I'm gonna help her with inking and rendering because she doesn't have those skills as much.

Being plural is tough sometimes, but the nine of us are doing our best, and trying to make our new member feel as comfortable as possible 💖

[arukana]

New alter made one of her OCs have her own OCs (OC-ception?) and I think that's kind of insane lol 😭

One of those OCs also has her own OC, but she specifically didn't go into detail on it because it would create an infinite loop from which no time could escape.

[arukana]

Damn, new alter do really be proving the "teen oc artist casually outperforms experienced artist who's studied for years" meme 😵‍💫

[arukana]

New alter has been drawing and writing all day while being sick AND being off of our ADHD meds. She has done more with these debuffs in a day that I usually manage within a week. Made a very sweet OC couple which she will probably want to share on her Tumblr at some point soon.

She's really got that young creative energy that's been worn away from the rest of us, it's kind of incredible to watch. She's always thinking about her OCs, making playlists for them, and wants to make animatics and stuff. Once the cold is gone and we can take our ADHD meds, she will be unstoppable! Also, since I've learned to compose, we can write actual music for her characters — a dream come true for her.

I'm not that amazing... but thanks for the compliments I'm not used to it >///< Akane and Karu are amazing though 👉👈 Also, haiiii everyone ^w^

*note: Akane and Karu are her OCs

She felt the need to put that in there, but was nervous to type more lol. Also, she's 14, so keep that in mind when interacting with her directly. In general, me and the others will catch anything that would be bad for her to see, but any flirting aimed directly at her would be uncomfy and disgusting. She will mostly be posting on her own Tumblr when it is made, but we'll be reblogging her stuff here pretty often.

This has been a hell of a development, but one we kind of knew would happen sooner or later. There are around 9 of us in total — though I expect there will be more alters we discover as time goes on. In terms of time management, she has basically replaced our doom scrolling with making art, which is unbelievably healthy. Also, she draws as a coping mechanism, which has done us better than anything else we've tried. So yeah, we're doing a lot better now!

[arukana]

New alter just dropped

She's a time capsule of 2012 anime culture, with all that entails lol. She's also an insane creative powerhouse — she made 3+ OCs in her first 2 days of being out. She's also really shy, but you'll probably hear from her more on Tumblr specifically.

She's not used to having a ton of time to draw, so she's always trying to even when the system needs sleep 😭 She also carries her sketchbook around everywhere as a comfort thing, which is kind of adorable, if not slightly inconvenient at times lol.

Also, for anyone reading this that knows me from other stuff and doesn't know — am in fact plural! We've known for several years, but have understandably been quite nervous to talk about it. New video dropping sometime soon that will explain everything.
