💀 WELCOME TO ROOTSOFDREAD — A DBD IMAGINES BLOG! 💀
here's a bit of info about me:
i'm oktober! but you can call me toby for short. i'm 21 and use he/him and she/her pronouns (genderfluid gay trans man). that's all the basics, i guess!
my favorite chapters are all things wicked and dungeons & dragons!
i am a survivor main playing on console (xbox), my username is jawsplitter! if you see me in-game, feel free to say hi ❣️
i also upload clips onto my youtube channel, jawsplitter!
this is not exclusively an imagines blog, i'd be happy to discuss the game itself and the community! i may also make my own non-imagines in-game shenanigans posts, just for sillies :-)
my carrd: ROOTS OF DREAD. it has all my request rules and info. please read it, and thank you for doing so! ❤️
COMMISSION ME! • MY MASTERLIST! • BUY ME A COFFEE!
tumblr did not notify me of this!!! 🥺 but thank you!! i start training tomorrow morning and i'm so excited. and i hope you (and everyone who reads this) has a good holiday season too!!!! 💕💕💕
HIII!!! yes of course!!! filling out the last of the requests has been taking longer than i anticipated due to the holidays and i've actually been getting to do some commission work (for a lovely friend of mine) and i've been looking for a new job -- and finally found one!! part-time at a gas station :-) i just got hired and i'm really excited!!
i really love this blog and wanna do my best to not abandon it again 😭 because DBD has become a huge part of my life over the years and i love to give back to the community!
for an art WIP you get: a redesign i was working on for my survivor self insert 💞
I hope you're still doing okay! Did you do anything fun for Halloween?
I haven't really been keeping up with the newest developments in DBD but your posts have made me curious about the Krasue, and I looked her up and read some of her lore and she is so cool! And she's gorgeous.
The Houndmaster caught my eye as well, unfortunately I do know that the whole release of her chapter was basically super uneventful. Even before I read your summary of the chapter that was the impression I got.
-🐿️
hello!!! yes, i am still doing good! thank you for asking!! ❤️❤️ we didn't do anything super special for halloween this year, but to my delight we DID rewatch sinners. it's my new all-time favorite movie and every day i pray it gets added to DBD 💔
i am SO GLAD i interested you in her!!! i really love her design and her lore (and frequently read way too much into it and make plenty of my own conclusions) and atp i feel like i'm the only person who loves her! 😭 i will make it my life's mission to spread burong propaganda with this blog moving forward🫡
and yes unfortunately it was. waking up one morning to the PTB just being Out with no lead-up was really underwhelming. i also think doomed course really suffers from a lack of coherent themeing- no hate to taurie ofc, but i think if it had been a different survivor, someone more complimentary to portia's lore/design it would've really helped the chapter. not so specifically another pirate but DAMN wouldn't a pirate survivor be cool??
Also I must say you are truly built different (compliment!!) for enjoying playing against both Ghoul and Krasue, the community's universally most detested to play against (Other than like, Nurse and Blight I guess, but I don't see nearly as many complaints for them as of recent lol.)
Don't get me wrong I love them both as characters (And I know Kaneki is fun as hell to play) but even I find myself mentally bracing for a rough game every time I hear their terror radiuses lol. I envy the power you must hold in your heart [light-hearted.]
your liege!??! such an honoring title...thank you!!! 😭💕
but YES!!! i have finally gone against THREE count 'em THREE whole krasues (and i let all of them kill me<3) so i can definitively say i enjoy her for both sides; i'm not even sure what i would say is the reason WHY i love her and ghoul so much for both sides. but considering the fact i ALSO enjoy going against nurse and blight i guess i'm just insane LOL but i love loving the characters everybody else hates...it feels like i'm taking a stray cat inside from the rain and wrapping them up in a towel
of course i understand the community's frustration points with them, and i don't think people who hate them are crazy or anything, they have their problems like a lot of killers do! but i get SO excited when i realize i'm in a match with them, i will forever throw for them and let them kill me in the end (especially if it buys time for my team to get out). they could mug me in a dark alleyway and steal my wallet and i'd still love them 💔💔
more art WIPs as a treat!!!!! (an oc and a krasue!❤️)
You don't have to reply to this, but I was overjoyed to read your announcement!! I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better. Here's to a better and happier future 🌟
with love from 🐿️
i was hoping i would hear from you squirrelly anon! 🥺
i'm very happy it made you happy!!! i am feeling a lot better about...EVERYTHING in general lol. it has been nice!! ☀️🌈
you get a special treat. mainly because i just love to share my work...but here's a couple of DBD pieces i started work on recently!!
SOMETHING WICKED WALKS THIS WAY — AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
HELLO EVERYONE, first of all i would like to say that even though i haven't replied to any, i see every supportive message that comes in asking about how i'm doing, how my life is going, and wishing me well, and i appreciate all of them. i never meant to abandon the community i had created here but i will FOREVER appreciate the continued support for me & my work in spite of that!
i had always said it, but working took a LOT out of me. working in that place was incredibly difficult for me and the last couple months in particular were awful, and i was really struggling. i couldn't stand it anymore so I HAVE QUIT MY JOB!!!! it has been so refreshing and i feel like myself again! 😭
anyways, with all that said, i have been doing a lot of work on my backlog of requests! and i am SO VERY excited to announce that requests WILL be opened back up soon! as of writing this, i only have FIVE unfinished requests left in my drafts!! it is really exciting for me to be able to announce this -- i really DO love running this blog and the interactions i've had with the people who enjoy it!
i will make another announcement post when all of the requests are finished and left in the queue to post -- then another when i open requests up again! i love you all and thank you for reading. take care of yourselves! ❤️
as a little note, since i have quit my job, i am always accepting c0mm1ss1ons! i do art and writing right now. here's a link to my k0-f1 where you can find examples and prices for my art; [Buy Oktober Afton a Coffee] and here is a link to the latest version of the post i made for my writing; [this post!] please feel free to contact me via tumblr DMs on this blog, on my main blog (@.jawsplitter) or over on discord (@.jawsplitter)!
BONUS: UNDER THE CUT - my opinions on releases in the time i've been inactive on this blog!
DOOMED COURSE: i love portia and taurie as characters and enjoy their lore but i did not like the release of doomed course. absolutely zero marketing for the chapter and i just didn't find it very exciting. i absolutely adore portia though! ❤️
T0KY0 GH0UL (censored so this doesn't go into the tag): i LOVE ken. the tome anguish leading into the release was soooo fucking good! i was a TG denier in the months leading up to the release, but i ended up loving it, i watched some of the anime bc of the release, and plan on reading the manga too. i love playing as ken and going against him, he's like my FAVORITE killer for both roles right now!! (next to krasue)
STEADY PULSE: I LOVE ORELA SO SO SO SO MUCH!!! as a transgender person i do dislike that her lore has no focus on her identity and you could very easily miss the fact that she is trans, but i love her. i don't play her as much as i thought i would but i will sing her praises forever! she's my bestie❤️
FNAF: i did NOT love the release, i have to be honest. the anniversary felt weak this year, and FNAF just didn't "feel" like an anniversary chapter to me. maybe it's because it didn't come with a survivor, idk, but i just wasn't thrilled with it (D&D is tough competition though as it is one of my all-time favorite chapters). springtrap was a great addition to the game though and i have really enjoyed going against him (haven't played him myself!)
TWD: guys. TWD is my special interest forever. i've been a fan since 2017. you don't understand how excited i was for this release!!! every time i thought about it i'd get so excited i would literally get nauseous!!! i spent SO much money on this chapter and i cherish it SO much and YES i am so excited for the maggie legendary for michonne!!! (glenn too please BHVR you can't separate them it's illegalllllll)
SINISTER GRACE: i absolutely LOVED the teasers for sinister grace, and for the duration of entombed i was driving myself crazy trying to guess what the chapter would be based on. i am totally in love with this chapter and i am deeply, deeply, DEEPLY in love with and obsessed with miss burong sukapat❤️❤️❤️ i also love vee because she reminds me a lot of myself and kinda how i like to dress. i've been playing a ton of both of them and i just love these girls sooo much!!!!
i did also participate in the cosmetic contest a couple of months ago, if anyone is interested i'd be happy to post my entries!!❤️
Hello ☺️ I hope you're well. Is this account still active? I think your writing is spectacular and I was excited about multiple requests on your list, but it's been over a year now since you closed your requests. I would love for you to come back.
If you've lost interest, or if you're too busy, it's okay. Or any other reason. Please don't feel bad about it.
hello! first of all very sorry for the late reply to this, and i'd like to say thank you for the compliment!! it really means a lot to me that so many people love my work! 😭😭😭
i do feel VERY terribly about going on hiatus/being inactive. believe me!! i have loved running this blog so much and it saddens me that life has gotten in the way of that for me. my motivation for creativity has been murdered significantly by working, but...
i got into a new game series almost 3 months ago that has been making me feel motivated to create again. i've been sitting and drawing for the first time in a WHILE! and writing even more.
i really really want to come back to this blog and tend to it consistently again, and the release of tokyo ghoul has me so very excited!! i've never watched or read it, but i fell in love with kaneki when the PTB was put out. as of writing this response, i haven't played him yet, but plan to! i did buy the masks that were released (all for my favorite boys!...and thing! which made me very happy) and i'd probably like to buy kaneki's launch skin when/if i pick up playing him. his face model is so pretty :-)
hi!! happy valentine's day!!! me and my fiance WERE gonna go out to our favorite diner but it snowed about a metric fuckton yesterday (and probably overnight...haven't checked yet, but i'll be leaving for work soon so i'll get to see the damage lol) and his little silver shitbox does NOT handle snow well, so we'll probably be staying home instead. which i'm fine with! hopefully i have the stuff to cook something for us :-)
hopefully everyone else has a nice valentine's day too!! whether it's with an IRL loved one or a fictional one 💕💕💕
Wishing you a very happy holiday and new year :] 🎊 I hope you've been doing all right ❤️
🐿️ anon
good morning squirrelly anon!!! happy holidays and new year to you as well, and everyone else that supports my work!!
i have been! work has been kicking my ass since i've been having to work morning shifts (we literally have...TWO people on mornings, now, not counting my bosses) so that hasn't really been fun, but i have been liking getting to see my morning shift coworkers that i don't really get to see much. but other than that, i have been alright! and i hope you have been too 💖💖💖
hi everyone!!! i know i've been quiet lately but i have something exciting to share! well, it's exciting for me, anyways, i'm not really sure how many of you all will be interested -- but anyways...
i uploaded my first full-length video with commentary today!! it's a very casual video and nothing extremely special, i wanted to just test things out. there's some bugs with the audio for the first few minutes but other than that i'm super happy with how it ended up! i really had fun recording a match.
as mentioned, this was just to test things out. i have something very fun and special planned for bone chill, a series of videos like this one! it's my favorite event (and will be my 2nd year anniversary of playing) so i want to do something special for it. i hope everyone who watches enjoys!
It's officially the 31st where I am now, so... 🎉HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!🎉 I hope you have a great day 🎃👻
🐿️ anon
still an hour for me-- but thank you so much for sending this in! 🥹 had kind of a crummy day so this made me very happy. i hope you have a great halloween too squirrelly anon!! (and everyone else reading this!)
happy haunted by daylight, everyone! i'm here to show off my girls, i really like these skins and have wanted to buy haddie's ever since it released. so happy to have it now!! ❤️❤️ and the event has been fun so far! i only played about 5 or so matches but i had fun last year and enjoy the tweaks they made to the event.
not pictured is my purchase of unknown's candy weapon - i'll be showing a screenshot of that when i get hux's too (and maybe buy pig's blighted skin) X-)
hi everyone!! i made this very silly doodle in like 20 minutes because it's a very special day today...my birthday!!
sadly, i have work today, so i can't do much celebrating 💔 but every day is my birthday in october! if anyone would like to send in a birthday message, it would be appreciated, but obviously, never required! i'll be having fun with my dedge and uno in my mind while handing out orders ❤️❤️❤️
HI GUYS❤️ i bought the rift bundle just so i could get the unknown skin as soon as possible...and they look sooo so so good, i absolutely love their new skin so much 😭💖
and i decided to show off my soma and my bloody trevor :-)
