(What Oc are you most embarrassed about & how did you come up with them)
I send this to everybody who reblogs the post
i dont really think i have any im embarrassed about right now exactly (i mean. some fandom characters might be considering they are basically shipping fodder so thats kinda ridiculous but also i have no shame so i dont care??), but theres one specifically i wanna share due to her origins alone
so heres emily. just your regular slightly steampunk coded angel mom right. okay well she was a self-insert mary sue back in my edgy angsty teenager days (i was like. 13 or 14 at the time and also hello depression lol), shipped with ALL of my favorite characters fandoms disregarded and she had a much different design she does now (i was obsessed in putting my characters in clothes that i actually owned so i could dress up and pretend to be them? is this normal??) to fully bring out the mary sue energy in her so she was the perfect self-insert with the looks i wanted, the guys i wanted, the friends i wanted, etc.
aaaaand then i grew up a little (say, by like four years lmao) and she turned into a really weird doctor who oc. she got a revamp to what her design is now but honestly the rest wasnt much better considering that she technically didnt sit well in that setting at all with how she was at that point lol
now shes an original story character and have been for years, and shes now an adoptive angel mom to a group of misfit kids and couple of lovable gay idiots. much better, not even nearly as cringy as her way there, but hey its the destination that matters in this case lol
