Welcome! ★

Hi! Call me Dolly or Estee. I use she/they pronouns. I'm a resident alien girlthing with a lot of OCs. You should check them out! :]

Don't follow me if you're an adults only blog.

I have socials I barely use, so I'll add them when I need to.

Blog lists below cut.

OC Blogs

HALVERSE (original OC universe):

🌼☀️ @dandelion-sun-comic - main OCs here! Each episode is one day of the hear 1994. Six teenage best friends try to navigate growing up in their tiny town while making bad decisions.

✉️☀️ @ask-halboro - Dandelion Sun ask blog. Currently on indefinite hiatus, but I want to bring it back.

🎼🎭 @heartstrings-and-hairspray - world-building spin-off to Dandelion Sun set in the 1980s. Buried feelings between rockstar Walter Creed and aspiring actress Janelle Henderson spark, but threaten to burn down all they have in the process.

✉️🎭 @oath-and-creed - Heartstrings and Hairspray ask blog that roleplays as a fan-made news outlet about the main band in the story.

HALVERSE ADJACENT:

🪐🪳 @super-space-sailor - sci-fi franchise within the Halverse. Twin aliens Sailor and Marine team up with a human scientist named Wesley after Earth is invaded by a force known as The Empire.

OTHER:

🍀🦋 @thebutterflyeffect-tbe - After a psychotic episode, Edith's doctor mandated-journal suddenly contains entries from her future. No, they're not hallucinations.

🐖🐟 @rivers-of-thyme - You play as Barley, a stoic homestead owner who is tormented by her grief and monsters at the edge of the woods. Her sibling is alive, no matter what others say, and she'll do anything to get them home.

🛎️☄️ @intergalactic-inn - In an alternate 1960s, a cynical waitress decides to finally pursue her dream of owning a grand hotel when a black hole appears to swallow Earth. Not super active, but I am reworking stuff behind the scenes.

@sell-us-soulless - Currently paused, very underbaked fantasy story I hope to recycle. Blog will probably be deleted when I do.

Other Blogs

@estees-attic-storage - Reblogs go here.

@dollydecome - Web graphics I like.

@oc-extraordinaire - "Tag your OC" posts. On an indefinite hiatus.

[In the school principal's office]

School guidance officer: And it's just that mortal minds can't handle your incomprehensible true form. Staying masked is just how things should be. It makes others uncomfortable when you release your entire being.

Overbearing mother: How dare you?! My child is easy to comprehend!

Principal: Also, if they don't improve their grades, we're going to have to expel them.

Noting the post about self-shipping terms I reblogged, self-shipping is also just the best term we're gonna get. Obviously, this has to do with yumeship being a term from another language, but come on. It's self-explanatory and pretty succinct. Anyone who knows what shipping is will be able to infer what self-shipping is.

The main problem is, of course, the appropriation of Japan. It's wild that people would rather appropriate another country's term for the same thing, let alone how frequently they do it. I don't want to undermine that problem.

I'm just baffled by people changing the term in general. Even if we made another word for it in English, it wouldn't be helpful. Self-shipping is a perfectly fine term! There's no need to change it!

[dollycosmic]

I love my friends so much. They mean so much to me. I hope my friends all know that I love them so very dearly. I want to be with my friends so we can hug and laugh and cry together and never part.

[dollycosmic]

Finally made an attack for Art Fight! This is a revenge against @lotsa-cats-in-a-trenchcoat's OC, Freya. I love her dearly.

I hate feeling exhausted all the time for many reasons, but a big one is not being able to work on my OCs. I can't keep working on scripts when I'm bed. I can't make sketches all the time when I just want to sleep. It sucks and I feel like I'm abandoning them. I know I'm not really giving up, but it sure does suck.

[dollycosmic]

All that said about trying to help as many people as possible, one of my first orders of business if I became super rich would be getting my dream house. I would absolutely happily have multiple properties. I want one to build my dream house and another very specific place for personal, sentimental reasons. Any other homes would be places overseas.

[dollycosmic]

This has me thinking about AirBnB owners. Apparently, the property owners are the most controlling people. While I can understand being hesitant if you aren't rich or are new to the business, I don't assume those reasons are common.

Like, to rent out an AirBnB, you literally have to own another property. That's a huge investment!! No way you can do that while poor. Being hesitant to risk property damage also has its limits. From what I hear, the behaviour extends far beyond reasonable concerns.

I just don't understand why some wildly rich owner of an AirBnB would be so concerned about property damage. Yes, actual damage is offensive, but how many cab drivers deal with abuse in their cars? At the very least, these rich pseudo-landlords can pay for repairs.

[dollycosmic]

Probably naïve of me to say this, but if I ever somehow come into possession of a very large fortune, I'd love to just give the money away to random people. It feels good to be a good person, but you could also just make it very fun. I could use a money gun! I could slip someone a one hundred dollar bill like I'm handing them secret files. The opportunitues are endless!

If I'm ever too wealthy, I'm gonna tape envelopes full of cash to random street poles and such with a note inviting people to take them. I'm gonna scroll through GoFuneMe and Kickstarter campaigns so I can go on a donation spree. I'm gonna donate so much money to the Internet Archive and Wikimedia.

17, 18, 28 for the ask game!

Thank you for the ask!!

From this ask game.

Q17: drink of choice?

Once, I had these straws that came with flavouring in them to use in milk. The cookies and cream one was divine. I wish I could have it again.

Q18: a compliment you’ve received?

I'm always happy when people compliment my OCs. I like to know what about them appeals to people. It's also nice to be complimented on my actual art and writing.

That's not specific, though, so I'll say that I was once complimented on a dress I was wearing while in a waiting room. I was far too overdressed to be waiting through someone's appointment, so it was very nice to hear. Honestly, I would overdress all the time if I had the clothes. I love to feel fancy.

Q28: favourite way to spend time alone?

My favourite way to spend time alone would be to work on one of my stories. Getting into the groove when writing is always super fun. Speaking of which, I need to get back on that wagon.

I'm also a sucker for daydreaming. Can't pass up the opportunity to make little scenarios in my brain! That said, I do spend too much time on it, haha.

Unusual expressions of the Dandelion Sun protagonists and an antagonist, Barneby. Except, well, Barneby usually looks like that. World's crankiest twelve-year-old.
