(Response to the tags you added on the Gravity Falls post you reblogged from me.) It’s not a fansite, though. I’m pretty sure Alex Hirsch denied it being his creation to create confusion, but the site has foreshadowed events in the series before they happened numerous times.

What- really? Are you sure?

That’s weird…. he said it wasn’t affiliated with Disney. Did he lie about that?

Okay. For starters, what's with the black ghost form thing? Could you give a basic explanation of that?

It's Demi at her most powerful state, as she controls the aspect of shadows, or just darkness itself. At first she can only access that state when in mortal danger as a defence mechanism, but through out the story she would learn to control it and go back and forth between human and shadow form at will.

I'm curious, have you tried my advice with OCs yet?

I've been trying to! Specifically with my oc Demi, which is why I've been drawing her a bit more as of late vov

Hey, um, sorry in advance that this message is so long, but I saw your post where you said your OCs weren't interesting, and I just wanted to give you a little helpful advice. I hope you don't mind. (Sorry, I know it's a bit weird to send you a submission instead of an ask, but this was too long to be an ask.)

If you're not working on them, that almost certainly means that they're not compelling enough to you to make you want to work on them. You need to make characters that are interesting enough to you that you enjoy working on them. My suggestion is to sit down and make two OCs that you put everything you have into. Work as hard as you can developing both these characters' appearances and their personalities to the best of your ability. When you're creating your characters, think about what kind of characters would captivate you personally, to the point where you would enjoy thinking about them often. Try to make them as original as you can, and avoid making clones of characters you've made in the past (also, avoid making the two characters clones of each other). I know it may sound ridiculous, but try daydreaming about your characters. If you don't enjoy daydreaming about them and the situations they go through, they're not good enough yet. Once you get to the point where thinking up scenarios about them becomes fun for you, create other characters in the same way, and insert them into the same story world. In this way, slowly, gradually, I believe that you will create very many OCs that are compelling to both you and those who experience your work.

Wow no don't be sorry that's actually wonderfuly helpful advice! It's a fantastic way for looking at it and a good thing for me to try, thank you! :D
