ayo finally making a new pinned post because i got rid of the other one
✧Latest edit: June 27th, 2025, 7:00pm (Added OC playlist)
Before that: June 21st, 2025, 4:30pm (Revised a bunch of stuff)
Disclaimer: Casually, I type in all lowercase with punctuation only for clarity, but the actual writing pieces (story, lore posts) will NOT be in that kind of grammar. I prommy 👉👈
I mainly post about my OCs (see below the cut). I do have interests but the fandom stuff isn't anything I post about frequently
like, I'm not entirely invested enough in fandoms to post fancontent if that makes sense? I just kinda enjoy the stuff and sometimes look for fanart that other people made, and me reblogging it isn't ultra common even if I do sometimes
Interest examples for reference: Persona/Megami Tensei, ADoFaI (+neo cosmos), Rhythm Doctor, Terraria, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Lobotomy Corp. & Limbus Company, not really an "interest" but Doki Doki Literature Club slaps
Other stuff that isn't as defining: Miitopia/Tomodachi Life, Rhythm Heaven, Don't Starve, Advance Wars, Undertale/Deltarune, Animal Crossing, Mario/Zelda/Kirby/Pikmin (various things I figure I know way more about than a normal person despite not actually having a "particular" interest in it), probably more stuff too
(clears throat) now, here's the stuff I'm here to talk about! look below here
my funny OCs are the kind that have a whole story and like 50+ pages of lore attached, which is why I really want to talk about them because otherwise I would just take it to my grave and that would be sad. I wish I had like, a fandom to talk about them with, but they only exist in my head and I barely ever write my WIPs so I'm in limbo
overall the tone/genre is a Persona 3 kind of thing if that makes sense? I view it as psychological horror but at the same time I don't feel like I can call it proper horror if it's not really the main focus (it's not in your face very much, it's just a gloomy setting where messed up shit kinda happens on occasion and can be very jarring).
things will be tagged but beware blood/gore, death, disease/vomit, body horror, heavy unreality/dreamcore/surrealism at times, etc.
it's meant to be this kinda lore-iceberg vibe? the best way I can explain it is that someone could ask something like "why did [character] do that?" and it might as well be the opposite of occam's razor, where the explanation is an absurd rabbit hole. in the context of the whole OC story it tends to clear up a lot of things when I decide to do that, but I know some people Do Not Like That so I felt it was worth warning in y'all in advance that I write like that and it's on purpose
I have multiple different worlds/universes that I work on, but despite them being completely different settings, the tone is mostly similar. There's also a slight overlap in characters that kinda makes it into AUs? It's complicated and my own fault
the main one is HAVEN, but there are also Yuvania and NovaTide as well as some others that aren't big enough for their own tags
because I used to have a song link in my intro post, I impulsively decided to make a little youtube playlist of songs that I like that I feel are relevant to my OCs (to varying degrees) that I could share to pin down the vibe more for people because my explanation was vague
if you see that most of the horror songs are missing, that's because I omitted them on purpose for the sake of this because, frankly, any of the "unhinged shock factor" scenes would be a bad first impression due to the rest of the lore generally not being Like That
some are also missing because of spoiler reasons; some of the songs relate to the lore in terms of later stuff that's meant to be a plot twist
(note that some are covers due to them being the main versions of those songs that I listen to, usually for OC voiceclaim reasons ngl)

I would say more here, but I feel like I should make specific stuff like character sheets into their own posts
I'm super down to like, talk to people about it and answer questions (well, within reason considering story spoilers), I am a chronic yapper
also, since people don't seem to like pressing the Like button...
I'll just say it right here, "blease like my posts if you liked it," yes it doesn't do anything but it lets me know that people actually see my posts, and I know people wouldn't necessarily reblog like, chapter 13 from someone else's OC story to their own blog
Ayo, so... I'm probably gonna be actually posting here (and on the other blogs like Project Myriad) again. Basically, due to an irl situation change I'm feeling a lot better than I have for the past 2-3 years and feel like my soul is back in my body.
Every time I've "come back [to Tumblr]" in that time period has been from sudden bursts of motivation that had me make a ton of posts in the span of 1 week and then I would crash and not touch anything for several months. I'll probably clean up some stuff (for instance, the fact that Björn's bio post here is more of a NovaTide one and then every single post after is for Haven) and redo my intro to be more up-to-date now.
The context is "oh my god that job was killing me" and now I don't work there anymore. I never noticed just how bad the burnout was until the mental 5-ton anvil on my back was suddenly gone (I left only a couple days ago). I used to love makin' stuff about my OCs, especially since I'm kinda... desperately lonely in terms of "people who care enough where I can yap about [them]." I do have friends but none of them are interested in that stuff especially when my infodumps are LONG. I was always meaning to post that kinda stuff here to meet new people and to try and get interactions, but as you probably noticed I was just complaining about it and then not actually posting 'cause I had like NO energy ever and could never bring myself to grind away at a drawing that would get 0 notes anyway. Now that I'm feeling like myself again, I'm back to enjoying the act of making stuff instead of it being a chore so it won't feel nearly as bad.
Within a couple days of me "catching up" on those communities I'm in I immediately fell back again and have had them at 99+ for ages, so I'm kinda sorry about the fact I don't think I can/want to read every single post that happened since then, but that was never really an obligation anyway (just a personal thing that I try to do).
context: sometimes my irl friends and I play singleplayer games together, like we make eachother play our favorite games and we all sit and watch them play it (this is why I'm busy sometimes, usually on the weekends) so I've been playing persona3 again with my buddy
anyway I wanted to say "this is what I look like" (or well, what I try to look like, I haven't actually been able to transition but shhhh)
You see this little freak? They're gonna have the worst time of their life.
(/j, but y'know how I like to treat my characters)
[See, I did make 3 different versions over time!]
This is going to be the main character (they/them). I've already talked about them before in various posts, but now for the first poll... naming them. I haven't picked out their name yet!
Related posts:
- Lore: Rypurs (Species)
- Current info on: Protagonist (01)
Despite being a rypur, they don't know what those are at first. They woke up here one day without any memories other than their name.
When I first put this in my drafts, I wasn't biased, but since it's taken longer than expected my vote is absolutely on Zindy because that's what I've been calling them in my head sometimes. This is still gonna be based on the poll, though. I also have some people without Tumblr accounts who I might ask, so their votes won't show up here.
while I've been working on the rest of those portraits, I ended up starting another project on the side. it's currently called "Project Myriad" as more of a development name, but it's a less serious thing I'm working on. the project is meant to be a little collaborative, where everyone comes up with ideas to make the whole thing.
imagine the type of interactions like "what should this OC's personality be?" and "oh! what if this new one had pink hair?" but on a larger scale because it's around a lot of different things in the project.
the first poll is up right now, and there are 2 infodump posts that relate to my normal lore too. the sideblog is @project-myriad.
I'm sharing it here because I'm having a great time :) this blog will still get posts, but you can probably tell I don't post that often anyway
update: since a little bit ago I finally got some motivation back, I went and made actual portraits for the set of low effort ones I basically just posted a month ago. they have souls this time (I think)
also the other one got the colors on Chou's normal outfit swapped, this one is correct
Personality: Loud, aggressive, reckless, immature, reserved, cute, flirtatious, self-loathing deep down, deeply caring deep down but doesn't admit it.
Powers and abilities: Lightning summoning (she summons lightning and manipulates it as she desires), phasing (teleportation), limited levitation, manipulating electric objects such as making the lights flicker when she's upset.
Backstory: She was abandoned in the ruins of her home by her older brother, forcing her to spend most of her life alone, and her brother turned evil, so she's fixated on getting rid of her younger self to spare herself that guilt.
Hobbies and skills: Fixing machinery, inventing weapons and stuff like that, combat.
I made more of these all in a row, so instead of making a bunch of separate posts I'm just gonna put these 6 idiots (affectionate, not necessarily stupid I just call them that) in one
ok so, I thought it'd be fun so I made this little ask game where it's basically "what vibes do my OCs give off" with different colors, right?
that specifically because I was worried making it "ask me questions about them" would end up with every answer being like "sorry that's spoilers" and I wanted something I could do early on
the issue here is that like, if I start posting more actual character info then I'm afraid it'd make the whole thing redundant?? like, if I post an ask game that says "yellow = cinnamon roll" and then a post saying a character is a cinnamon roll, then the asks I would get would just be repeating back things I already said because that's all they know
basically it's something that relies on it being a VIBES thing where it's just a pic and you don't know anything, right? the second issue is that I get 0 notes on all/majority of my posts and I intended to get anyone invested by y'know... making the character sheet posts
anyways I'm putting this out here to check if anyone would actually send an ask if I posted it soon, so reply/like (or react if you see it in a community) this post if you'd be interested or whatever
I'd be interested in any kind of OC related ask, but the color game is because I know people struggle thinking of what to say so I'd provide multiple choice options (and a list of the characters so dw)
since i've been procrastinating the thing i was pretty much making to procrastinate another thing i was making, and making no posts... take the third one of these in a row to prove i'm not "on hiatus" and i just don't post frequently in general
(also just for clarification, Fritz here is white and just has a dark tan)
