MY ORIGINAL CHARACTERS

I have 2 main OCs at the moment; all from original universes. Two are scifi-fantasy based and one is fantasy based with multiple alternate universes.

[SCIFI-FANTASY]

Eli - at first glance, he looks like a cyborg. But his body is a highly advanced magical construct that he made to house the powerful magical object within him, a singularity. This object allows for near limitless potential energy and it's for this reason he's wanted by the US Arcane Corps. They currently have him in custody and under their insidious mind control. He rebels occasionally, which only leads to tighter restrictions and more crashouts. Sooner or later, something's got to give... his spirit, his captor's will, or the walls and spells that contain him.

[FANTASY]

Aihren - an ageless celestial mage that used to be a human, destined to be reborn again and again when the universe resets, retaining their memories across timelines and universes. Appearance can vary from an androgynous figure that appears person-like, to a gaseous collection of stars and nebulae, to sometimes a crystalline form resembling a statue when 'sleeping'. They have an aloof and whimsical personality, and one that's not super grounded in reality either. They often forget what time period and universe they're in, but they don't really sweat these slip-ups, as Aihren is generally quite confident and easy going.

The results I forgot to post of the 4 truths and a lie for Eli:

[cosmicnexus]

Four truths, one lie - Eli edition

Eli's parents are alive

Eli is directly related to my other OC Aihren

Eli is secretly a minor deity/demigod

Eli made his metal muscle body himself using magic

Eli has traveled to other universes within my canon

TW - Light discussion of poor treatment of nonbinary people

He doesn't think about it super often because he compartmentalizes, but Eli is actually closer to nonbinary or genderless. He doesn't particularly feel like a man or a woman. Just a person.

He presents masculinely and uses he/him pronouns for convenience. In his experience (and in a lot of nonbinary people's experiences) when he tried to actively identify as nonbinary people would mentally, reflexively, and automatically put him in one of two boxes regardless of how he presented himself or what pronouns he used - male or female.

So in his mind, if people are going to put him in a box regardless, despite the limited choices that don't really suit him, he's going to be the one to pick the box.

Could be their orientation, gander identity, how involved they are in their community, if they're poly, or a lot of other things

oh yea just throwing it out there but. if u are a beginning digital artist PLEASE i am BEGGING you to experiment with different methods of making your drawings because i see so many of yall suffering for no reason using what you’re taught because you don’t know to try a different way. like SO MANY PEOPLE people make jokes about how much worse their lineart looks from their sketch and how much of a pain it is to do lineart… if that’s you, then, don’t do lineart! just clean up your sketch a bit, or keep the bits from the sketch that you like the most and only do a separate layer for the things that really need fixing, or just paint right onto it!! endless possibilities. if u keep having trouble with layers? u don’t need them, just merge them and keep going. better at sketching traditionally than digitally? take a picture of ur sketch and draw on top of it. there is no One Right Way to do anything in art except what’s fun and satisfying for you. be free

Tsundere this, yandere that. I'm a wandere. You took your eyes off me for two seconds and I've already fucked off. Saw something cool glint on the other side of the continent and I'm on my way to check it out.

Is it bad that I feel slightly bad that I keep coming to the library to use its quietness and its desk space and its pleasant atmosphere for writing but I never check out books?

[ckerouac]

Why would you feel bad? You’re using the library for one of its intended purposes. The desks, WiFi, space etc are LITERALLY there for you to do exactly what you’re doing AND each time you go in you add to the foot traffic numbers that prove hey people are coming in to use our stuff mr. government so keep funding us.

[surroundedbybooks]

Confirmed by another public librarian. One of the stats we track is "WiFi usages"

That is, we track number of sessions/devices using it over time.

The library is not about snooping on what you're doing with that WiFi. Libraries respect privacy.

[rosefyrefyre]

We literally have a door counter at my library. Congratulations, you just added to our statistics.

[chaosfrisur]

I think it's a bit sad that with more and more public spaces vanishing, people are feeling bad about not "buying" stuff to "earn" their time at a library.

A library is like a park, you're allowed to just. Exist in it.

I check out books every 4 weeks, when the learning period from my current books is up, but I go much more frequently with my kid to just sit there and read to them, and that's okay. In my school days, we'd go and do our research for presentations there, just reading, never checking out.

A library is a space to just exist.

[foxofninetales]

So a year or so ago, we added some new desklets at our library, in areas where we noticed that people gravitated to but didn't have the right furnishing to use them in the way they wanted to.

The first few weeks of having the new furniture were absolutely filled with excited librarians whispering to each other, "Look! Someone's using the desklet in the back corner!" and "casually" walking by to enjoy the sight like wildlife researchers who had successfully baited a particularly elusive rare bird. Nobody cared if those people checked anything out or not. There was a need! We saw the need! We filled the need! Hooray!

WE PUT THE THING THERE TO BE USED. USE THE THING.

[tractorgoth]

And you literally pay for the thing! You pay taxes! I’m sure they would want you there regardless and I understand you feel like you have to pay for rent but you very much did already pay for it, that was a thing that happened!
