So you want to make an OC?: A Masterpost of Ways to Create, Develop, and Make Good OCs!
i made this masterpost in hopes that it helps you in making your own OCs ah;; it can also apply to developing RP characters i suppose! if youād like to add more resources then go for it sugar peaĀ (Ā“ć®`)!
EDIT (10/16/18): edited my disclaimer (below) before diving into the huge chunk of information here! also included new resources and links to writing disabled and nonbinary characters. happy researching! <3
1. i made this post when i was like 14? 15? so as such: the information researched here is very, very old. a lot of it, imo, is no longer relevant! especially with language use (ESPECIALLY if youāre reblogging the old version of the post that had links to an article about gender/sexuality. iāve removed that. iāve removed also the mary sue/gary stue chunk because my values have changed since) the point is, the resources here will not always fit in with what we need as time goes on.
2. these resources are not law!! i made this post because i was and still am very passionate about ocs. this resource was intended to be a sounding board for when u have ideas you want to further delve into and youāre not entirely sure where to begin. itās not the only resource out there, and sometimes, the best sounding board will be you!!! follow ur heart. ocs are fun. this post was never, ever meant to tell you how to write your own characters but help broaden ur knowledge if u found urself limited in an area (this was first made with a white, abled, cishet audience in mind!)
3. iāve gotten some great notes and commentary on this post and things i want to explore more since making this post roughly 5 years ago. things are very, very different. i have better resources for a LOT of these, and have more i want to tack on! but i simply canāt find the time for it, so until I do: iāve removed a lot of links here that i found harmful and irrelevant to today, but i havenāt combed through all of them and canāt lead you to what i think is best. research yourselves! youāll learn lots.
4. and in closing, thanks for reading! this a/n got off on a tangent so thatās that, LMAO. go forth and develop your ocs!!! and tell me about them!!! or tell me if you have fresh sources or a better perspective or just wanna call me out. this post is 100% open to criticism because itās imperative to keep growing and learn as much as possible and be as whole and mindful as possible. this world is full of diverse, incredible creators who have contributed so much to telling their stories. let their knowledge guide you, not a silly post made 5-6 years ago. <3

1958 catboy party game by willa morley
So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.
AI art bros are big mad about it.
"MARINA ! MAKE SERIOUS ART !" they scream at me . "NOOOO !" i say as i sob and die
lol
this was kinda funnier in my head (original under the cut)
why does my caladium act like she is starving for light. hang on
every day i ahve to reposition the damn lamp cuz sheās dead set on sticking her first leaf Right The Fuck In There and i donāt want her to burn. but every day i come home from work and she has closed the distance anyway. bestie PLEASE cooperate with me
i finally caved and moved her to the windowsill but this has clearly not satisfied her because she still presses that leaf RIGHT up against the glass
apparently instead of actually growing new leaves in order to increase her light intake sheās decided that these are PERFECT conditions to flower in
BABYGIRL YOU HAVE ONE LEAF PLEASE
The worst thing about having a lesbian best friend in the friend group is that she is always doing jock stuff and you just know the only reason she puts up with the nerds is because she's too systemically oppressed to hang out with jocks
Tall gf
my least rational fear is what if i end up being a pony in the mlp universe and i get the most revealing cutiemark like what if my cutiemark is the bisexual flag and i have to cover it up with makeup for years and pretend to be a blank flank to not get outed to my conservative pegasus father whos favorite newspaper is called "the right wing"
itās so bizarre when animated American films are set in a certain location and then only certain characters have the accents of that place. It makes no damn sense!! like
WHY IS SHE MORE FRENCH THAN THE REST OF THEM???
WHY ARE THESE GUYS MORE SCOTTISH THAN THE KIDS??
(also, arenāt they Vikings or something?)
To be fair, almost everyone in Ratatouille does have a French accent. The real question is why Linguini and also all the rats sound intensely American
If it was just the rats Iād say itās because the movie can be interpreted to mean that the rats understand but donāt necessarily speak human languages so the rat dialog isnāt literally taking place the way we see it but that doesnāt explain why Linguini has a rat accent
LINGUINI HAS A RAT ACCENTĀ
Do we ever hear like
For sure that Linguini grew up in France tho?
It could be possible heās just an American immigrant
I mean his name is Alfredo Linguini so I always assumed he was Italian
Iām sorry his first name is Alfredo?
ALFREDO???
heās American you guys his mother was American it was mentioned in the beginning
Iām sorry, Iāve moved on to the fact his mother was going through her cupboard for baby names
Alfredo was a name before it was a sauce letās go over the movie from the top again
This is Alfredo di Lelio (right) the inventor of fettuccine Alfredo, heād come out to the table and make it in front of you by hand
The chap on the left is an airport
I just realised I got my left and right mixed up, thatās happening more and more recently?
The chap on the right looks like John F Kennedy?
