half the depths

oc blog ~ it’s half/unofficial bc my partner in crime doesn’t use tumblr much ~ askbox is always open ~ main is @woodstockgirlie

hey there!

this is my oc blog, it’s not attached to a particular wip but rather an insane network of rp that’s about four and a half years old depending on how you’re measuring, unofficially called “the depths”. it’s made up of me, one of my best friends* and a shitton of little guys that are constantly rotating like microwave popcorn in my brain.

* @threecheer, my beloved bestie. none of these ocs are hers, she’s not on tumblr much. but i’ll probably talk about her ocs sometimes bc it’s kind of impossible not to.

feel free to ask me questions about any of my ocs! here are their full names, in roughly descending order from most developed to least developed:

alec michael caldwell

meera shah

franklin emory bendel

sebastian avery olivier

henry jonathan brooks

raphael “raph” roger truman

melanie “mel” robin chambers

solomon “sol” clay kingsley, junior

miriam tzipporah meir

isadora beatrice mallory

lev ilyich kalashnik

atticus owen miller

sage courtney desmond

violet kara lerner-mitchell

ainsley marianne lassiter

lydia “libby” riva rubenstein

beau quinn

maddox rose

daniella “dani” jean wilde

i try to tag everything on this blog that pertains to specific ocs with “oc tag [first name]” so if you’re looking for posts about any particular oc you can search up their tag! for ocs with nicknames, i tag the nickname instead of their full name, so you would want to search “oc tag libby” instead of “oc tag lydia”, and so on. i also tag aus except for the basic modern au. most of the time when i answer asks it’s in the context of the basic modern au, unless i specify otherwise.

some of them have canonical kids (meera, alec, franklin, miriam, isadora) and some of them have parents that are occasionally brought in as minor characters (mainly sebastian and sol lol) but that’s about it. also there are several canonical pets - the pfp for this blog is meant to represent Silk Scratcher The Triumphant (or just silk), who’s sort of a mascot for the depths.

my main is @woodstockgirlie :)

writing raph for the first time in awhile. it’s a fun time

“Caldwell can wait,” Raph said. Then, quieter: “This is serious.” He led Will across the Aglionby grounds to the chapel, where he knew they wouldn’t be disturbed. Hardly anyone ever came back here. He certainly didn’t. He hadn’t been in a church in years. He avoided looking at the statues for too long- it had been a long time since he’d believed in God, but he couldn’t help the feeling that he was being watched and judged, that he would see his sister’s eyes in the Virgin Mary’s face. He pushed down the feeling and sat in a pew, gesturing for Will to sit beside him. “Sebastian’s pissed at you,” he said. “You probably know that already. But you’re not completely fucked yet. You still have a chance to save yourself, and Caldwell and Isadora and whoever else Sebastian will destroy if you don’t take what’s being given to you. You can still go back and apologize for whatever you did that’s made him insane.” He knew exactly what that sounded like, so he added: “It’s not a trap, I swear.”

not doomed by the narrative but saved by the narrative. yeah i know you'd rather die than keep suffering but the story doesn't actually care what you want. you have to keep going, even when it hurts. even being erased from existence won't stop you from being salvaged from the wreckage of un-being. get up. keep pushing. keep bleeding. keep living.

My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

Well-to-do finance manager with tidy shoes: "Why hello, sweetheart. Can you say 'hi'? Aren't you cute. Are you on a trip with your mom?"

4 year old me: why must we do this

Fantastic old woman in the leopard print coat: "Why yes, my tooth IS real silver! Nobody ever asks me that. Do you like cats?"

4 year old me, suddenly paying attention: Finally, A Person Of Intellect

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

lesbian scifi is so easy. here’s a woman in cargo pants and a tank top on a spaceship. are you with me

[justsomeguycore]

maybe it’s not even cargo pants. maybe it’s coveralls rolled to + tied around the waist. maybe she even has fuckoff boots
