Currently under hiatus. I dunno when I'll be back. Might queue stuff sporadically.
An original character (OC) focused blog. This is a place to answer asks about your OCs with the options to occasionally showcase them!
Question submissions: open ✅
OC showcase submissions: open ✅
Hello! I am the one and only mod of this blog. I started this so I could add to the plethora of OC ask blogs. I love OCs and have been wanting to make one of these for a while!
This blog is very new. Because of this, I am still figuring things out. Please be patient while I get things set up here! Thank you!
I run this blog on a queue to spare me from having to come up with a new question every day. There should be one post a day. If you find any issues, let me know.
I will be making some other posts so this one doesn't get too crowded. They will be linked below. Please look through these links for information before asking a question. Otherwise, you can send an ask if you are unsure of something.
(Green bolded text indicates it has been updated for September 2025 and onward.)

FAQ
This blog does not support generative AI images/writing! Please keep it away from here. I will never intentionally showcase any OCs featuring it. Let me know if I accidentally do so I can take it down.

Welcome all OC enthusiasts! This entire August 2026 will be all about your OCs, or more specifically, the dynamics between them. Post your writing, art, or whichever medium you choose on Tumblr with the hashtag #ocdynamicsmonth26 and make sure to show some love to other participants as well! Your posts will be reblogged to this blog.
My asks are open for any questions & comments you might have! Please read the rules and prompt guide first!♡
Rules:
Original characters only! Fandom OCs are fine, but the characters within the dynamic must be OCs.
Make something (writing, visual art, some other creation) with a given prompt, then post it on Tumblr during OC Dynamics Month and use the hashtag #ocdynamicsmonth26. Interpret the prompts freely and include as many OCs within the dynamic as you wish!
You can post your work late, for example you can post your creation for Day 1 on Day 15 if you want! All I ask is that you don't post them early.
There are no strict rules for what content is allowed. However, I may choose not to reblog something if I feel that it goes against the spirit of the event (AI generated content, hateful content etc). Including content warnings for heavy topics is encouraged!
Event is over but you still want to do the prompts? No worries, keep working on the daily prompts or fill the bonus prompts if you wish! I'll keep reblogging posts for a while after the event is over.
Bonus rule: interact with at least one other creation for each piece you make yourself! Like, reblog, leave a reply, or even send the creator a message if you want - let’s spread the love! ♡
Prompt guide
Each main prompt contains a type of relationship and an adjective. You can fill a day's prompt in one of 3 ways (using the first prompt as an example): 1. use only the type of relationship → make a piece about ex-friends, 2. use only the adjective → make a piece about ocs with a powerful dynamic OR 3. use both → make a piece about ex-friends who have a powerful dynamic.
This year, the bonus prompts are dialogue prompts. You can combine or swap them with main prompts or just do them in addition to the main prompts! You can use the exact wording, tweak it to fit your piece, or simply use the dialogue to inspire your work without using it directly.
