Welcome to Melodica Street!

Melodica Street is a personal OC-verse inspired by works such as Project Sekai and D&D and maybe a Disney Channel Original Movie, I dunno. I'm still setting everything up, but for now, here are some important links and tags!

Characters - Setting [wip] - Lore & Things [wip]

Dreamgarden - Scorpio

Muffy - Posy - Trouble - Prescyne

Asks and submits are OPEN

Mod's name is Nix

Haven't posted here in ages so here's Prescyne taking pocky game way too seriously with Trouble

[melodicastreet]

When genies experience a strong emotion, their element tends to kick into overdrive and can kinda start seeping out of more of their body. Unfortunately, when people think 'strong emotion', that usually carries a negative connotation.

Trouble thought her first time asking Prescyne out was a bust because she started smoldering almost immediately. It didn't take long at all to realize that Prescyne was so excited by the idea that it was showing in her flames.

[melodicastreet]

They had to leave the carnival pretty soon after that.

Temperature is subjective when you're a fire elemental

Dragon lady in the middle belongs to @bigbangazure. Her name is Lacus, she's very pwetty

Hey I haven't posted here in a hot minute, take this colored sketch I made after recovering from a Mild Illness.

[melodicastreet]

Meet Josephine Finch! One of Trouble's two sisters, her little sister to be exact. She grew up in The Grunge, the lower city, in a relatively poor family. Josie is the only one in Trouble's biological family who she has any sort of good relationship with, and she eventually becomes Scorpio's fashion designer. She's an absolutely sweetheart. She's shy, so she prefers to shine from backstage, as it were. She and Trouble only recently started hanging out regularly again now that Josie's an adult, and Trouble is still trying to find out how best to get her out of their parents' house.

Josie also has a teeny tiny massive crush on Prescyne. Prescyne likes the kid, but Josie's crush on her is the single romantic advance that flies over her head.

[melodicastreet]

Wanted to do some inter-group relationship stuff as an ArtFight warm up so here we goooo

Prescyne and Posy are actually quite alike. Both are very dedicated to their craft and are confident in their abilities with it. Prescyne, however, has eight years of experience on Posy. When they first met, Posy was certain that Prescyne would be her greatest rival. Prescyne didn't think the same, more amused than intimidated by Posy's bravado. Posy mostly wishes Prescyne would take her more seriously because they're very cool and she wants to be them when she grows up.

Trouble and Muffy are not as alike per say, but Trouble remembers being angry like Muffy is now. She respects what Muffy is doing for Posy's sake, but she's the first person who asked her when she has time to consider herself. She occasionally gives Muffy 'singing lessons'- which is less a time for learning technique and more a time for exploring emotion through music (which is a lesson in itself, in Trouble's eyes). Trouble could also bring up how she whipped Muffy's ass in a riff-off when they first met properly but shhhhhhh

[melodicastreet]

Found this really old Posy sketch. Out of all the girls, she's definitely the strongest physically, and she rivals Prescyne in flexibility. She also likes to show off, especially to Muffy, who is mildly out of shape.

[melodicastreet]

I may or not play favorites sometimes with the girls. Trouble is particularly special to me, and so SHE gets the pretty dress I saw on Twitter a while back.

[melodicastreet]

Hey I graduated and got my master's lets upload some old lore art descriptions below

Theodosia and Agatha are a pair of old married lesbians who own a small casino in the Grunge, the lower-income area of Dimopolis where Trouble was born. Trouble is not their biological daughter; Trouble was actually a result of an affair between her human bio mom and a suave devilling man who she met playing cards of all things. Trouble's relationship with her bio family is strenuous at best- and abusive at worst- so she was often found roaming the streets on her lonesome, scrounging up whatever coin she could find for food. Old, down-on-their-luck casinos are surprisingly good for that. After months of Trouble hanging around turned into years, she eventually began to see Thea and Aggie as more of her parents than her actual parents. When she turned 18 and had her name legally changed, she also went through the trials of taking their last name as well. Hence, Mallorette Finch became Trouble Pennison.

Thea is the bartender and the one who handles their finances. She's pretty surly-looking to people who don't know her well, and that's because she has her eyes on everyone. Trouble might excel at reading people, But Thea is the master. Nothing gets past her, partially thanks to her elven heritage. She uses that power for good, keeping them from getting robbed and recognizing when one of her customers is having a bad day. Trouble calls her Mop, a combination of mom and pop, because in her words, 'she's the twinkiest butch I've ever seen.'

Aggie handles the entertainment side of the casino. She chooses what games they host when and where and how often, as well as the in-house entertainment. When she was younger, that entertainment was often her- she's a beautiful singer and pianist. It was Aggie who taught Trouble how to sing, noticing that she could carry a tune well enough and needed some outlet for the trauma of her childhood. Trouble took to it like a fish to water, and the two often sing or play together. Aggie is called Maman, the French term for mama.

Muffy's parents have owned a daycare since before she was born, known as the Tiny Dreamers Care Center. They genuinely love children, and have gotten to the point where their former charges are now bringing their little ones by to be watched. Her parents love this, and can think of nothing else they want to spend the rest of their lives doing. Muffy is of a different persuasion. Always the stoic one, even when she was a child, Muffy helped out without complaint. Her parents don't know that she's not as keen about the daycare as they are, and Muffy doesn't intend to let them know, not while she doesn't know what she wants at least.

Her father Percy is a gentle but practical man, doing the busy work, the diapers, the feeding, all the hustle and bustle that people think of when they think of childcare. He doesn't mind though. In fact, the consistency of the job 'keeps him young', as it were. He loves his little Muffle-Puffle, and he's so excited that she's been going out more with her little friend.

Her mother Hannah is the teacher, always going about and making sure the kids are learning during their play. The daycare doesn't technically offer preschool services, but Hannah thinks that all kids learn best while playing. She's the montessori teacher modern parents long for. She always gets so excited when she gets updates on her past charges.

Like Trouble, Posy and her brother Franz are adopted, though they were adopted when they were children (first Franz when he was seven, and then Posy when she was six. They are about twelve years apart in age). When Posy was nine and Franz was finishing up college, their adoptive father walked out on them without much fanfare (Posy is really fond of 'dad went for the milk' jokes even though they hit pretty close to home). Franz immediately stepped up, not wanting his little sister landed back in foster care or worse, and so he took over as her legal guardian, moving the two out to Dimopolis after graduating and landing a job in social work.

Franz is an angelic, which is essentially the opposite of a devilling, and his skin always feels a little cool to the touch. Franz is an especially hard worker, always the first to get his stuff done so he can go watch his sister in whatever show she's gotten herself into. He's the only one of their family who doesn't mind that Posy has steered away from academics, despite the fact that she was a bit of a child genius. He and Posy have a strong bond akin to Spencer and Carly from iCarly; she'll never say as much, but Posy views Franz more like her father than anyone else.

Prescyne was born as the half-elven daughter of Silvyr Traist, the owner of a massive company that hails out of Vincence, another major city. Her mother went missing when she was barely a year old, and she didn't know it until she was much older. As far as the public knew, Prescyne's mother was an elven woman who died of cancer, preferring to stay out of the limelight due to the nature of her condition. Prescyne was his 'pride and joy', his little doll, always prim and perfect, just as she was expected to be. Children were to be seen and not heard, and only seen when it was desired. And Prescyne acted the part because she didn't know anything else. She was miserable.

When she was almost of age, her uncle gave her an out, getting her on the train to Dimopolis. She doesn't talk much about her past, but it comes out in some of her music. She HATES her father, hates how he stifled her and quite literally snuffed out her flame. She's pretty sure her father is responsible for her mom's disappearance, if not responsible for her possible murder. Frankly, her father scares her, but her time in Dimopolis has made her confidence skyrocket just enough that she can ignore it... for the most part.

[melodicastreet]

Having a sketch dump 1 felt like it warranted a sketch dump 2

-1-

I've mentioned a few times that Posy was a child prodigy. That prodigy-ness comes out in her knowledge of environmental science and botany. She just spits random facts about plants out sometimes because she genuinely can't help herself. Muffy only understands about half of what she's saying when this happens; all she wanted was to ask if she potted the damn strawberry plant right for her Mom. Still, there's an unwritten rule between them that you don't call Posy out for the plant babble. She'll get it out of her system. Eventually.

-2-

Skin care and rest time are equally important, so on evenings when Scorpio isn't performing, Trouble and Prescyne try to make sure that they're not overworking themselves and burning out. One of their favorite things to do is throw on a face mask and watch the most garbage television they can find on whatever streaming service Prescyne is paying for. They often place bets on who will win or what couples will get together, depending on what type of reality show they're watching. Prescyne doesn't understand why they keep losing at the dating shows, and Trouble refuses to remind them.

Last of the family bits (kinda, she has an uncle that I haven't included here), and we left the roughest for last.

Muffy's turn! Look at that cheery little family. Words under the cut!

Muffy's parents have owned a daycare since before she was born, known as the Tiny Dreamers Care Center. They genuinely love children, and have gotten to the point where their former charges are now bringing their little ones by to be watched. Her parents love this, and can think of nothing else they want to spend the rest of their lives doing. Muffy is of a different persuasion.

Posy's next on the family bracket with her brother! More under the readmore!

They are about twelve years apart in age). When Posy was nine and Franz was finishing up college, their adoptive father walked out on them without much fanfare (Posy is really fond of 'dad went for the milk' jokes even though they hit pretty close to home).

He's the only one of their family who doesn't mind that Posy has steered away from academics, despite the fact that she was a bit of a child genius. He and Posy have a strong bond akin to Spencer and Carly from iCarly; she'll never say as much, but Posy views Franz more like her father than anyone else.

Starting to introduce some side characters slowly but surely, starting with Trouble's adoptive parents. Info under the read-more!
