dude if i had a nickel for every mlp oc i had id be rich anyway here's another one i drew out for art fight lol.

he's a changeling, technically a changeling princess who through a series of events left his hive, transitioned, and metamorphosized. He studies different kinda of love and its magic. And also dates twilight. hell yeah.

cut off text: glows when being given affection (Any kind of love)

[mothmanicus]

Luce!! Been working on a lot of dif things but! Here's my guy. He's a gangrel and game store night shift lead lol and it be like that. He thought he was originally a werewolf and was immensely dissapointed.

Listen sometimes you're cursed to be feral at almost all times and have to muzzle yourself so you don't hurt others and also you work a 9 (at night) to 5 (in the morning) because you gotta afford rent somehow.

No book store has ever shipped me anything as securely as the people selling old Star Trek fanfic on ebay have and there's symbolism in there somewhere but that's for when I'm not looking up Star Trek fanfic on ebay.

Ganon sings to the fairies in his fountain every night before bed :)

Some doodles of my doctor(s) and companion :) ignore! that i uploaded the wrong image at first <3 its all fixed but still

My regenerated doctor is very inspired by @puppygurll, specifically its 8th doctor design :)! I adore a human looking vs nonhuman looking doctor so much (AND! I adore their art, it inspires me so much!!)

I'm gonna ramble for way too long under the cut about my lovelies

Half asleep while writing this, I'm not gonna proofread unless I realize I made a big mistake that I need to fix.

I gotta say, thank you Babbel1996 on the wikipedia page for the Tardis for always saving me. Every time I go to steal a Tardis reference, there they are! Anyway Tardis with stained glass! Let her be pretty! Let her dress up! I think she would fuck it up wit symbolism and stuff in her windows and it would make the Doctor either so happy to see their love all new and cool and/or annoy them to no end not understanding what she's saying Mine don't have much symbolism ngl. The most is, maybe, having Gallifrey there. To list them off its Moon, Sun, Gallifrey, Saturn (or Uranus depending on if I'm feeling fun), Mars, Pluto, Aurora because i was running out of planets I wanted to draw, and than moon again with the north star! She gets some stickers on her too for fun.

So!!! To make stuff clear, non feathered Doctor regenerates into feathered Doctor (also known as Wife #1) (both just get called Doc). In the fic I was writing, its almost exclusively the non feathered one thats featured, but its okay cause he still dresses like a gay parrot later in the fic.

Becoming more alien is a metaphor! yay! I saw puppygurll's designs and realized that since my whole point with the doctor regenerating was him accepting that he can rely on and find comfort in someone indefinetly now, he sort of subconsciously let go of what was keeping him as an acceptable looking human, at least for this regeneration, and he gets to be more alien. Basically unmasking. Except he gains feathers. And more obvious gender stuff.

Sort of like how (and I could be absolutely misremembering Dr Who, its been a bit) a lot of the Doctor's exuberance and over the top nature is, in part, an act in some of their regenerations. And that act absolutely falls and reveals how angry and scared they are underneath it all. But at the same time that whimsy and hope is also so integral to their character, so its a balancing act.

Anyway, he regenerates from gay 80s parrot into Miss Frizzle who bites people.

My first doctor is a he/him and is, indeed, mostly a guy. Regenerated Doc is a he/him but uses mostly feminine titles (Like... wife. i'm blanking on others oh no. uh. Donna calls him sister? He teaches science and history for a little bit for plot reasons and is called Miss Doctor by his students).

I drew him some alternate outfits because I wasn't happy with his and am realizing he has the exact same fit basically as my creepypasta oc and I am once again reminded that almost all of my characters in some way or another come from one another like I'm an evil scientist with a cloning factory. Maybe I'll draw a chart one day, that'd be fun.

The companions name is Cal, he is trans and actively didn't have a name until the doctor regenerated, and instead every day just got a new name. I love matching his name to whatever their adventure is. Fun possibilities! I want to note, because this is so important to me, that he does dress up to match the time period. Technically its the Tardis dressing him. But he does dress up. I am so sad more companions don't do this, but that's okay. Once again why I love Donna Noble so much but that is a long essay for another time. He also has dog tags (sometimes a collar, depends on what I'm feeling) that do just say Return to Doctor with some medical info on them that he can't read. One's in a universal translating language thing (Psychic paper... metal? Hmm.) The other is in galifreyan. This is specifically to fuck with the master. There's also a ring and I can't remember why he has that? I'm 70% sure its from my hangover episode chapter of the fic? I dunno! Mysteries for me to relearn!

Anyway the Doctors and Cal are all self inserts (kinda, once upon a time before they took on a life of their own) and in a polycule with the Tardis and thats how it is, I don't make the rules.

The Tardis can get it. That's it, send tweet.

Souls of Power Ch. 3

https://archiveofourown.org/works/78374181/chapters/216840866 Buried Worms and Emotions

Three people have a chat while Link avoids his problems and not much admittedly happens. Well… almost.

Between a moldulga and the very magic of the desert changing, three people have a chat and become concerned.

Souls of Power

For years the princess has adored the stories of old. Tale after tale, singing the same formula. The Hero, the Princess, the Beast. Princess Zelda soon began to fear she and her own friends fit that very fate she has dreamed of for years. So, she sparks war against Hyrule's allies and releases the Great Spirits, tearing through the world of magic and its balance. Link, head Smith of Souls, and Gandondorf, the Gerudo Prince, journey now to set the world right again, whether it be by saving the Great Sword Spirits or by taking down their childhood friend. But to Zelda's credit, the fate she feared has come to pass, even at her own hands. The Hero, the Prince, the Beast.

Souls of Power Chapter 3 Language Explanation!

This one has less side tangents I'm pretty sure! That's good! But I am gonna go a little bit too into titles of respect despite never coming up again probably lol.

Annan Terra'evi: Annan - a term for grandparent, this is the one she chose for herself. Terra - Link's family name. Link does use Lon Lon sometimes but Annan Terra uses exclusively Terra. 'evi - This is added on at the end of names as a sign of great respect

Now on terms of respect… There are currently two official terms of respect for people in the language of Fog. 'liri, which is the equivalent to mister or miss and is often used by younger kids to refer to everyone politely, or 'evi, which is used for people of power, elders, leaders, ect. There are other words that are used as terms and titles though, such as 'mor which dictates someone as the head of something or as great or powerful (ex. Hylia'mor is Great Hylia in translation), 'ashim (meaning old) can be used to call someone an elder if they aren't respected (respected as in, in leadership), 'ashibas (meaning young) can be used to emphasize that someone is a child. Here though, 'evi isn't technically necessary for Annan Terra to be refered to with. Annan is already used as a term of respect, used by only those who are close to her. She acted as a teacher for the royal children for a while, and was an advisor and confidant for Chieft Imene for a long time so in essence she is very beloved by Ganon's family. As such they call her grandparent out of respect. Sybil here though, while making fun of Link, is also emphasizing the respect that Annan Terra holds in order to get her point across to Deltan, and further make fun of Link. Annan Terra is an elder, she is a teacher, she is beloved, therefore she earns the title of 'evi. Most likely Deltan would call her Terra'evi due to not knowing her name, if the two were to meet.

Sol'Mah Sichai Shim’tarren, the Scimitars of the Sun and Moon. They are also called Sol'evi and Mah'evi by the foglanders and some Gerudo. The Gerudo would use Solva and Mahva (for those who honor the spirits alongside their Heroines which is uncommon), Solji and Mahji (for those who are familiar with them, aka library regulars), or Solse and Mahse for everyone else. -va is the divine suffix used for goddesses, gods, and chiefs. -ji is a scholarly suffix. and -se is used for those given honor, such as elders.

rensirie'chosecho rensirie'ircho Overall, rensiri (plural is renspirie) is just a term used to determine someone who is proficient in creating something, with a secondary word being tacked on to dictate what exactly that means. Other examples include rensiri'asa, which means a magic user or a mage or rensiri'ashiro which means a healer or doctor. Sometimes they get combined, such as rensiri'spiri, which became renspiri.

Now… Dialogue breakdown! The real reason I do this is so I can go back and check my work and make sure I didn't mess up my own language. Spoiler, i did have to fix it lol. Multiple times. Alledgedly, everything is not correct.

Eshimae Spiri'sporo - The life soul is gone. Eshimae - present form of the term for to leave/gone. This is a unique scenario for this word though, as the way its being used is to say something /is/ gone, so technically its being used like its noun form Ashimae, which is a leaving (and how the sheno'spirish refer to death but in this case technically Link would use aspiribas). Spiri'sporo is directly translated as life'soul, but is used more commonly as a translation of Home. Its true meaning though is the deep rooted magic and life within a place, literally being used to mean "There is life rooted here", the culmination of those who have and are and will live in an area. In this case, for the Gerudo, it is the magic of the sun and moon spirits. A translated nickname is also the Twin Guides and the Twins.

Irech'tasba t Spiri'sha ran? Tashribas Uch'bas a bas li'emore uch. [Fog] - Don't you understand, My Soul Child? She is not a thief, she is something far worse. Irech - understand, present form, also means to know Tasba - Don't you…? t - denotes someone is going to be referenced Spiri'sha ran - My Soul Child, a nickname by spiri's and sword spirits for those they love, one filled with much care and affection Tashribas - thief, the very negative form that can also mean murderer Uch'bas - She is not, Uch being a rude they which gets swapped to technically a rude she here in translation. a - used in place of a comma bas - technically no, used as a term for negation or to mean bad depending on how it is pronounced (the s is hissed when it is meaning bad, it is a short s when it means no) li'emore - emore meaning many and multiple and 'li denoting the greater version of something, despite being attached to each other, both modify basinto meaning far worse, with emore being far and li making bas into worse. Uch is once again a rude she

[mothmanicus]

Prince Ganondorf of the Gerudo, youngest child of Chief Imene and the Mage of Storm. Below is some more information about him! Not everything, as much as I want to throw everything about him at you right now lol. Ganon inhabits such a soft place in my heart…

Dude is gonna be 23 soon and is definitely not fine.

Prince Ganondorf of the Gerudo, or just Ganon if you know him, is the youngest son of five siblings. The others are named Taven (eldest, spouse of the Zoran princess), Lorena (The next Chief), Sybil (In training to be Head of the Gaurd), and Kyra (Ambassador for the surrounding kingdoms).

The sheno'spirish call him Shabra'ris, or Storm Friend, as a nickname, while those who are more familiar with him call him Sharis'sho, a condensing of Our [affectionate] Storm Friend. The fairies and spirits of the realm call him simply Shabra, which means Storm. Link calls him Shabra'sha, or My [affectionate] Storm, whenever he's talking to someone he doesn't know. Ganon's more personal nickname that Link calls him, whenever he's around people he knows, is Sha'sha, the dumb nicknamed version of Shabra'sha which doubles meaning My Mine, or simply Sha, the affectionate version of mine. Zelda has always called him Ganon, or sometimes Gan, no fancy titles or anything, just as she has always been Zelda or Zel to him.

Beside him are the Sol'Mah Sichai Shim'tarren, or the Scimitars of the Sun and Moon, the twin spirits of the Gerudo Desert.

Ganon has a few different 'jobs' in the desert, all of which he collected when he was young and continued with passion and pride into adulthood. Formally he is technically the main ambassador for the sheno'spirish, which boils down to being considered a close friend and gaurdian. Secondly, and this has been his job for a bit longer, he's in charge of the fairy fountains within the different cities and towns around the Desert, though others help maintain them. The one he maintains and cares for the most personally is within the gardens within the Palace. [These fountains are minor fountains without great fairies, made by regular people. They exist primarily for fairies to rest, and for those who have lost their wings due to fairy hunters to reside. Fairies are known to travel between cities with merchants or rrushaando.] Thirdly, he, Link, and Zelda are known for hunting moldulgas and monsters. Fourthly and finally, he keeps track of wild rrushaando herds. He has no want or desire to be King, for the record, or even a general. Honestly he just wants a more "quiet" life, and is happy to fade into the background of his family while doing what he loves and being with those he loves.

Technically, Ganon is also seen as a storm mage. He is the most gifted of his family with their storm magic, though where it exists as destiny, his own birthright, or a blessing by some spirit or another is rather unknown. He's not exactly a warrior like his sisters, but he is adept as using his magic in battle. Like the rest of his family though, his magic is tied to his emotions, though has been trained and honed over the years.

Clothes!! Honestly I should've drawn out dif pieces of clothing like I did Link, but the image is done as I type this and I'm tired yall. Nearly all of the detailing on his clothes can be found within Gerudo town in BOTW! Specifically the borders. The symbol of the Gerudo of course and the moon are found there as well, the moon being on the symbol for the inn. I'm pretty sure I made up the sun image myself? I can't find record of it in my notes I took on Gerudo Town details so I think i made it up based on the fact that every large sign in the town is made up of triangles. Could be wrong tho! His boots are another story. They're inspired by the Sand Shoes from BOTW, though I changed out the bandaging for embellished leather. Its honestly partly just what I thought fit and what I thought looked cool, partly inspired by the detailing found in Gerudo clothes within BOTW. He wears two belts. The green one is a modified belt that matches all of those his family wears as symbols of their close friendship with the Terra family (Link's fam). Ganon's was made specifically by Link as a gift and to show that they are partners. Kinda hard to see but it does feature a fairy amongst the leaves and vines. The golden cord belt is to mirror Link's, as while Link's is the representation of his ties to Ganon's family, Ganon's is a tie to his own family. Totally not cause I was just going BELT in my head and added it. Totally. He wears green gems in refrence to green being the color of electricity magic in BOTW (or… well the gems are usually yellow but the electricity shows up as green I promise). The red gems are cause I am p sure that red gems show up often in Gerudo decor, at least in my memory that is a detail of the red amongst gold. But as well! The red gems are partly in reference to past Ganondorfs and the triforce of power, but! Primarily its a reverence to how Zelda views him, as she thinks he is cursed to become the monster (see triforce of power alignment thingie), though once upon a time she thought of him as her hero (Courage) so he also wears the green. Also partly a refrence to a bit I have with myself where in truth Ganon is the Hero of this curse while Link is his fairy companion. So… Gerudo clothes huh? Yeah… Gerudo clothes :(. Yeah, Ganon and everyone else is gonna be protected from the sun finally. I have plans with the Gerudo clothing. His robe is inspired by TOTK Ganon's, which I think is meant to be a kimono but I could be absolutely wrong. My thought was that one, I was lost on what to do for clothes so he gets that, and two if its too hot and he needs a breezier top he can just switch to it. My other other idea was (to explain past Ganons), that male Gerudo are traditionally dressed in more neutral darker colors, but Ganon who loves his people and is beloved by them, wears pieces of bright colors to match them, on one hand honoring tradition with what he wears under and on the other embracing his culture in what to him is a more modern way with robes and details and stuff. As he grows older he will wear more and more color. I once again forgot his scarf. Basically every Gerudo and those who travel in the Desert have a very thin scarf. It's so fine that it's see through, and is used to wrap around the head and face to protect against dust storms.

Appearence? Oh? Yeah! A few notes! Ganon is short. For a Gerudo at least. Its not very apparent because Link himself is short already so its not really referenced, but for a Gerudo, Ganon takes after his mom and is short… He's growing taller still! (I think Gerudo continue growing taller for a good bit longer than Hylians but that's my own headcannon) He's gonna be considered short forever. He's gonna get heels later its fine. His hair is MEANT to be braided down his back but for some reason, despite knowing objectively how to draw braids, I cannot make them look like how I want. So his hair is perpetually loose. Honestly tho it gives me a chance to draw his hair flowing and majestic, which is so fun.

Ganon! Is dating Link! That's his partner! His boyfriend! That's the fairy on his shoulder whose giving game tips when you don't want them! Ganon is wrangling a Caution! Anxious! vest onto his emotional support fairy as we speak.

Ganon's hobbies! Cause I said Zelda's so why not. He writes music and plays different instruments (usually smthn stringed but instruments allude me) as well as sings. He's partially self taught and partially taught by fairy. He enjoys exploration and dabbles in map making, as well as illustration. He's not very good at the illustration part, but he does illustrate his own poetry and stuff which is fun! He has a love of jewelry, and loves both designing and talking contruction with local jewelers. He often gifts custom pieces to those around him to show his love and appreciation, mostly because he's unsure of his poetry and music despite it holding even deeper meaning about those he loves. The tracking rrushaando is technically a hobby and passion project cause he REALLY likes rrushaando and horses but its become a more professional thing people seek him out for.

I want to keep talking about Ganon because he is ping ponging around in my mind rn but i will not for the sake of this post's lengh and cause that gets into further character role analysis with Zelda and Link.

Dude you seein this? They have exactly two semi functional eyes between them and even that's a stretch fr.

My oc be upon ye. yea

GO MY JEFF THE KILLER! BE FREE! JEFF THE UPLOAD ON TUMBLR! My middle school crush, I gotta redesign him 9 years later.

Ramblings and like. process pics and closeup under cut

I realize my version of Jeff is slightly different than others in that I personally think he showers.

Like I think he still smells and shit, but I do think he takes pride in his appearance in his own way.

Notes of his appearance include: eyeliner around his uninjured eye, false eye from when in an attempt to remove eyelids he fucked up and now is missing one eye, dog tags from Liu getting sent to military school temporarily (that happens in my version of the jeff the story), his shoes being stapled back together, the head bully dude's tooth on his chain.

My idea is that. Half of himself was burned, but it put a permanent smile on one half of his face so he had to match it on the other.

For the record I do have an oc I ship with him who is not a creepypasta oc, but who i started making a fic with jeff cause to me, jeff is so wildly unserious that shipping him with an oc from a very serious story was fun. They're idiot boyfriends.

It be like that

Jeff the close ups, flats, and lineart :)

[mothmanicus]

my sons! my beautiful sons! gaze upon them and despair!

i know there is an even larger one. don't worry. one day he will be reunited with his brothers.

this one goes out to my coworkers who compliment pesto when he's in my pocket at work.

[mothmanicus]

He should've been in the clubs...
