Saw the Bernie meme and decided to ask about your OC’s. Who’s your favorite from EAH? Fav from MH? What are some facts about them that you’re undying (lol) to share?
oooh wait i’ve never thought about who my favourites are from each universe this is such a good question.
i think my favourite from eah has to be either ivy or leon. main character bias, i know, but these are the two characters who i feel like are the most like myself (can you tell i have mommy issues?). it wasn’t intentional, both characters having issues w their mothers being entirely organic to the story and i simply decided to use my own experiences to help write them, but i feel the most connected to them because of it. there’s parts of me in both so i guess i’m attached lol.
a fact about both of them that i’ve never shared is that leon was originally going to end up a trans girl and ivy was originally in love w charity before their stories took their own turns. i start out w an idea and i don’t plan much of it out when i sit down to write and simply let the story take shape as i go. if things change halfway through then i have no control over it. it will just go in whatever direction it wants to go. this is evident in a lot of the relationships that have popped up since the beginning of the fic, majority of which were not planned. leon was going to figure out he was a girl maybe halfway through thronecoming before i decided him being a male snow white was simply more interesting, and there’s still remnants of ivy’s feelings for charity in the earlier chapters before dakota stuck her nose in.
my favourite from monster high is undeniably cassius. fun fact, but i used to be in monster high advanced lit rp on instagram back in 2020/2021 and when i was there, i portrayed him using marshall lee from adventure time and finn wolfhard as his face claims, and back then he was a very different character than he is now.
back then, he was about a hundred years younger than elissabat and draculaura and was raised w them as their younger brother, being raised by lord stoker. he didn’t have much of a backstory beyond that because i never had the time or energy to develop him further. now, he was created by stoker after he lost his seat on the vampire council due to the events of frights camera action and turned him as a last ditch attempt to regain some semblance of control over something. he was only about 15 at the time so when the events of the fic take place, he’ll probably only be chronically in his 30’s but physically still 15. he basically abused cass for about a decade before elissabat caught wind of his existence and forcibly extracted him from stoker’s custody and asked draculaura for help. drac, who’d only just had her own child or 2 (or 3, timeline is still fuzzy at this point in time), couldn’t take responsibility for him, so she called upon valentine (who was busy trying to turn a new leaf) to take care of him for the time being before he and spelldon, val’s partner got attached to the boy and adopted him permanently.
fun fact about cass is that i used to ship him w jackson and haven’t fully decided who i ship him w in this fic, though i do have a rough idea 👀
thank you so much for your ask, this was fun to think and talk about !! <3
