• SOME GROUND RULES •
- I'm a fulltime college student with a job so I am VERY VERY busy in my daily life. Posting will be sporadic and I'll take a while to see things that people tag me in or send me, but please know I try to make sure I see all of it and I love it so much!!! If I forget to see something you tagged me in the first time, don't be afraid to tag me a second time!
- my askbox is always open, but there's no gaurantee I'll be able to answer your ask. It's nothing against you if I miss it, don’t worry! I’m just very very forgetful and very very busy :’)
- The only places where I post my art are on Instagram and Tumblr, and I've deleted the TikTok app a long time ago. If you see my art floating around on any other site, that is not me posting it.
- Racism, homo/transphobia, ableism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, Zionism, and any other form of bigotry or hatred is NOT tolerated on this blog. Anybody trying to spread that kind of bullshit on here is getting blocked on sight.
- Anything potentially triggering in my posts will be tagged as "#tw (thing)" and "#(thing) tw" or things of the sort. If I forget to tag any major triggers don't be afraid to let me know!
I think pro-shippers are weird and gross and I hate AI bros with a passion so please block me if you fall into either of those groups. I block freely as well.

That's all for now! Thank you so much for reading through, hope you enjoy your stay! ✌️
I have so many questions to ask, so sorry if this is a bit of a long ask! Most of these are about your OCs in general !
Have any of your OC's gotten surgery before? Like whether it was for medical or cosmetic purposes?
How did Nandi and Ebenezer meet? What was their first interaction like?
Any weird hobbies they got? This was is mostly for the villains (Villians always got the weirdest hobbies known to man😭)
Did any of your OC's have an akward teen phase? Like emo, goth and other phases?
If someone were to ask any one of your OCs (your pick) for advice , would the advice be very good or very bad ?
Got any favorite ocs ?
Now , out of every oc, who do you draw the least, who do you draw the most , and who do you hate drawing?
Okay that's all!
DAMN THAT'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS. THANK YOU ANON!!!
This'll be a long post since I'll be answering for all 3 of my primary OC stories, so everything will be under the readmore for anyone interested :)
COLOR CODING SO THIS DOESN'T GET TOO CONFUSING:
ORANGE TEXT - Three Minute Heroes
BLUE TEXT - Adam Eve & the Mad Geniuses
PURPLE TEXT - vampire trio
"Have any of your OC's gotten surgery before? Like whether it was for medical or cosmetic purposes?"
Many of them have, yes! Of course this varies from story to story, but plenty of them have:
Ebenezer (Bullectomy to treat her Chronic Bronchitis), Ms. Maes (wisdom tooth removal + nose job to treat a deviated septum), Dr. Fritz (MANY to treat her near-fatal lab injuries), Candy Crush (very many in his lifetime but most have been to treat his CHD), Lucio (top surgery + facial masculinization + permanent fangs body mod if that counts), Batter (missing tooth replacements + orthopedic surgery to repair crushed bones), all of the R.A.V.E. members (robotic enhancements), Lydia Capgras (wisdom tooth removal)
Adam Eve (I mean their whole existence was basically one big surgery), Rhos (top surgery + wisdom tooth removal), Uma (embryonal tumor removal when she was an infant + has a metal rib from a car accident)
Muiris (breast reduction + removal of extra unneeded teeth), Vertigo (appendix removal + P.A.O. to treat eir hip dysplasia)
"How did Nandi and Ebenezer meet? What was their first interaction like?"
They first met through higher primary school! It was just on a whim that they were assigned together for a class assignment, and they ended up getting along. They didn't hit it off SUPER hard and become best friends until they both turned 17, when Nandi reached out and asked if Ezer wanted to go with her to a concert. They've become extremely close since!
"Any weird hobbies they got? This was is mostly for the villains (Villians always got the weirdest hobbies known to man😭)"
Oh, plenty LMAO. Tyree in particular loves to collect dead bugs she finds on her windowsill, Dr. Fritz just loves to cook up potions (and test drink them) in her free time, Candy Crush loves dropping random items into the taffy puller just to see what happens, and .
"Did any of your OC's have an akward teen phase? Like emo, goth and other phases?"
Not in the sense of "emo" or "goth". I'm not personally a fan of alternative styles being seen as a “phase", especially since most of my characters are alternative themselves. However, they've DEFINITELY had some other odd/embarrassing phases while growing up!
For one, Nandi had a CRAZY strong obsession with sequins as a child and used to exclusively wear clothes with sequins (she still owns her old pillows from that time, just for nostalgia's sake)
Ebenezer used to dress up as Jon Bon Jovi every day (when she wasn't in her school uniform) as a teenager, she still loves Bon Jovi but man she cringes so hard at those photos of herself
Rhos had a penguin obsession phase for most of their childhood, absolutely freaked out whenever they saw one. Their relatives still buy them penguin-themed things
and Muiris had a weird phase from ages 9-12 where he refused to wear any color except green
"If someone were to ask any one of your OCs (your pick) for advice , would the advice be very good or very bad ?"
See, this one's a hard one to answer since that answer varies so much based on who we're talking about LMAO. I will say though, that Nandi's very good at giving advice but very bad at following her OWN advice.
"Got any favorite ocs ?"
I'M A TERRIBLE OC PARENT FOR THIS BUT YES ABSOLUTELY... I'm still yet to finish his info and design, but I've been OBSESSED with my Lost Boys OC lately (and I'm very excited to post him)
Nandi is ABSOLUTELY my all-time fav in the TMH cast. I just absolutely adore her, I love writing for her, drawing her, all of it. As for the villains, I have a very soft spot for the R.A.V.E. crew, Lavonte, and Dizzy the Clown.
I love pretty much all of the AEATMG crew, but I have an especially soft spot for Adam Eve herself, Senyabou, and Uma!
And I straight up just cannot pick a fav out of the trio LMAO, all of them have my heart 😔❤️
"Now , out of every oc, who do you draw the least, who do you draw the most , and who do you hate drawing?"
Ok, I definitely don't draw any of them enough GHAKGGJK but I think the one in particular who has the least art is probably a group I've never posted on here (who I drew a grand total of one time and then never even sketched again), the one I draw the MOST including messy sketches is LuvBug (of the R.A.V.E. crew), and the one I hate drawing the most is BIOHAZRD (of the R.A.V.E. crew. I curse myself out any time I have to draw them)
not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as “my liege” would come strangely naturally
Study of one of the photos from the shoot to try and start learning their faces :) Was quite fun actually. Tried to diversify the features 'n everything so it would resemble them more. Next time I'd probably have more fun trying diff vampiric stuff out but just baseline for now
Unstoppable Force (my love of seeing other people's takes/stylization on my OCs) vs Immovable Object (my gripping fear of not doing other people's OCs enough justice when I draw them)
quarterly reminder that if i reblog something ai-generated it is 110% and always an accident and for the love of god please tell me so i can delete it from my blog
I think I'm feeling good enough to come back properly, but I'm going to be doing some MAJOR rehauls of this blog. Gonna be cleaning out some old posts and reblogs and remaking my intro post later on.
I think I mainly just need a change, so I'll be reorganizing some things a bit over the next couple days.
Thank you so much to everybody who's stuck around for being patient, I seriously appreciate you guys!! Hopefully I'll have some art to share soon 🤞
Sorry to everyone who saw the OG post I deleted the original post because I got embarrassed, here’s a TLDR of what i said that’s a little less edgelord-ish
Life’s been crazy and it’s been hard to find time/motivation to post, I REALLY wanna come back but for some reason I don’t really? feel safe posting on this blog? It’s not an issue for my main blog or other things too, but it’s intimidating posting here especially when I’m not posting fandom stuff.
Debating whether or not I should make a new art blog to switch to but I’m conflicted because I’ve had SO much growth on this one and I don’t just wanna abandon it but also idk if I’ll feel better about posting here in the future?
I’ll figure it out eventually but for now, thank you guys for all your support and patience and please take care 🫂
