My attempt at a sort of 'meet the artist'.

Hello poppies! I am IronRye.

A female character creator in the states.

While I'm dipping my toes in the selfship community (and I've meet some FANTASTIC fellow people there) my main go to is ocxcanon. I LOVE designing fancharacters with the high priority of fantasizing about them smooching my favorite characters.

I've been making characters in a physical art form for over 15 years. Many of my ocs are created with great care to make stories about them, whether to further the canon story or create a alternate story with the canon characters, rather then primarily used for wish fulfillment romance (not that there's anything wrong with that of course). As well as include those characters in fics I might post eventually.

Be sure to check my secondary blog for a detailed list of my oc ships. I am all for maintaining a positive shipping space between self shippers and oc shippers alike.

Feel free to send me your favorites for me to gush over, or even offer advice or ask questions in any degree.

My asks are always open!

🎀 More About Me 🎀

My pronouns are she/they. I'm a 5'1" cis bisexual with an adoration for fictional old men. My favorite season is Fall and my favorite holiday is a tie with Halloween and Christmas. I love bows and ribbons. My favorite flowers are sunflowers.

I love Disney and Dreamworks movies, Renfield 2023, The Pirates of the Caribbean movies, The Lost Boys, The MCU pre phase 4, and The Mummy 1999. Some of my favorite shows include Gravity Falls, Hellsing, Courage The Cowardly Dog, anything X-Men, and Avatar the Last Airbender. I'm not really into video games, but ones I like are Mario, Crash Bandicoot, Resident Evil, Overwatch, and Sea of Thieves.

I hyper fixate on one fandom thing to the next and back like crazy. I rarely drop a comfort show or movie I've indulged in, rather it sits in the back of my mind before springing back up.

Other hobbies collecting way too many enamel pins, novelty candles, stuffed animals and the occasional fan merch.

I do commissions too!

Ship Tropes

I thought it'd be fun to list my most used ship tropes. OCxCanon ships specifically. // Goth-Girly // Childhood-Friends // Slut-Whore // High Energy-Low Energy // Diva-Diva // Preppy-Punk // Black Cat-Golden Retriever // Size Difference // Enemies to Lovers // Rivals to Lovers // Sun-Moon Couple // Monster-Monster // Monster-Human // Old Love // Rivals to Enemies // Age Gap // Introvert-Extrovert // Shared Trauma // Doomed Lovers //

Maybe it would be fun to make a tag game out of this? Or at least share some of your favorite ship tropes.

Crossover

Art trade with @kureiseras

Here we got Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen and Kurei from Flame of Recca in the roles of Sarah and Jareth from Labyrinth.

This was something new and it was a pleasure. :3

Loki, Ad meliora (towards better things)

Go ahead, make your OC the sibling/child/friend/whatever of an important canon character. Ship your OC with a canon character. Its fandom, its posts on social media/fanfic/fan art. Go for it, have fun, make up your own headcanons.

We're all just here to have fun.

[glitteringpandemonium]

Thank you @blackoutintheredroom !!! Love when someone thinks of me for this stuff. You have a lot of great choices in yours.

Could not find The Velocity of Gary or Splendor.

But those would be way up there, too.

And anyone else who wants to? No pressure on anyone obvs, and my apologies if you were already in tags somewhere up above.

[poubelle-d-elle]

Oh nifty! Thank you for thinking of me!

Oh man, i’m getting halfway through this list and panicking. Why is this suddenly hard when you’re put on the spot? 😅

I know it’s only 10 gifs allowed, but spiritually, Hocus Pocus is on here too. 

@xx-owl-xx @fangedfanatic @canadianhottmess @angstinaofsantacarla @yanagikou @batty4vamps @eternal-family-man (yes I want to know what Max’s top 10 movies areeeee)

[fangedfanatic]

Thanks so much for the mention, it honestly means a lot! And believe me when I say, I STRUGGLED with this one!

I also shrunk it down so that it wouldn't create too much clutter! Hopefully it works!

If you're up for it, I'd love to know for @venusmoon01 @ria-coolgirl @regalia-of-wisdom @popironrye @adams-fav-roach @scareqrow @miss-bliss27 and @your-compadre-infinity

(I'm only tagging 8 because I don't want to overwhelm the dashboard with too many gifs!)

[popironrye]

Oh! My friend, you spoil me. <3 I am forever grateful with tag games. I actually did movie gifs before, so to challenge myself, I will pick 10 DIFFERENT movies than the last time! XD

First pick totally isn't a cheat pick. Not at all. Just because it's the sequel to my favorite movie of all time and is almost just as good, doesn't mean it was an obvious pick. XD

20. besides sex, what other forms of physical affection or intimacy are meaningful to them?

For your tlb oc

Wonderful question! Need to write more stuff on my witches and lycans, but I assume you're asking about my sona Erin, so here we go!

Erin's favorite intimate act is when Dwayne plays with her hair. Running his fingers through it, scratching her scalp, and tracing her skin. Erin loves to return the favor of course. :3 Erin also loves to hold his hand/arm as much as she can. Especially when they're out on the boardwalk or the beach.

Thank you so much for the ask!

[ironrye-afterdark]

Stylish Lady

Some more outfit references for my baby Haze. She's so pretty! I changed her superhero suit for the thousandth time, but whatever. XD

Pinup below. ;3

[popironrye]

Typical the only art motivation I have is more outfit references, but whatever. I love drawing different clothes on my characters. XD

This time around rewatching The Avengers has awoken my love for this character. Evelyn Stone, aka Haze!

[magnolia-sunrise]

i humbly present to you:

OC ask game:

❤️‍🔥physical intimacy edition ❤️‍🔥

how do they feel about physical intimacy? how do they feel about sex?

would they have sex with a complete stranger?

how do they feel about their gender and their body in relation to sex?

what are their feelings on sex/physical intimacy under influence (alcohol / drugs)?

are they ready to go whenever or do they need a lot of preparation to get into a ~mood ?

do they see themself as experienced?

do they know what they like? are they able to ask for it directly?

is there anything that always turns them on?

what about something that would certifiably ruin the mood?

do they prioritize pleasuring others or pleasuring themself?

do they take on a more active or passive role in sexual encounters?

favorite sexual acts (giving & receiving)

favorite positions (topping / bottoming / other ?)

favorite kinks (giving & receiving)

have they ever had a surprising (sexual or nonsexual) experience that opened their eyes to new desires or kinks, if yes what was it?

do they have any secret sexual fantasies? would they be able to tell someone about it?

sex toy preferences?

if they had to create a sexy playlist of sexy songs to have sex to, would they do a good job or would their partner(s) groan and die of cringe?

do they tend more dominant, submissive or vers?

besides sex, what other forms of physical affection or intimacy are meaningful to them?

[popironrye]

If the song "1985" by Bowling For Soup came out today, the song would be about 2007. 😕

I just felt like sharing this revelation.

[skopostheorie]

How it feels to call it "this piece" instead of "that one fanart/fanfic"

[popironrye]

How will seras's wedding dress would look like?when seras marries kurei from flame of recca while kurei wears a black and purple kimono for his wedding with seras. Blushes

Oh! I think Seras would pull off a sleevless high neckline or a square (or even a sweetheart) neckline with a lace bolero jacket.

[popironrye]

on seras's and kurei 's first date together what nice restaurant will kurei take himself and seras to? Will it be korean bbq?or Italian?

Oh Korean BBQ is always a much more interesting food date night idea (to me at least) and Seras seems like a character with a limited English food palate but is willing to expand like that.

Or maybe her last Italian meal involved one of her opps turning full Karen on the poorly adapted British made Italian food because she's a snob. 🤣

[popironrye]

Do you think seras from hellsing and kurei from flame of recca would look good together as a crossover couple ? Blushes ^^

I wish I could go into greater detail for this but I am unfamiliar with the character of Kurei or the anime they come from.

That being said, on the surface I like how they look together. 🤭 and I am all for crossover ships.

[monsterfuneral]

*taps glass* hello?? Anyone still there?? Is this fandom still active??

[misslavenderlady]

Heyoooooo!

It's a shame because so many friends in our fandom deactivated their accounts. I miss them terribly, but I'll always welcome others. The more vampire lovers the better lol

[popironrye]

Definitely still here! If not "laid dormant".

I can't help it, I have many fandom interests that distract me, but I am still all over the lost boys! 🤣
