For the Not-So-Nice Edition OC asks: Skin for Aphid please.

Ask game here for anybody curious

Aphid is a funny pick for this specific prompt because he starts out very very comfortable with himself and who he is. Hes transmasc like me and I didnt want him to have any problems in that way.

Though i think that when the Seeds begin to mutilate him with the ritual scarring and drugging and brainwashing he becomes much more itchy within it. Imagine finally having built yourself up and then a cult becomes personally invested in breaking you like you're a horse. Then imagine in the bunker at the end when that finally happens.

By the time new dawn rolls around i do think hes not comfortable but just accepts that this is who and where he is now. Im sure he'll work that out eventually

3, 6, 9, 11 for aphid for the pride asks!!

Fuck yes, happy pride!

3. How did your oc discover themself? Did something cause them to question, or did they always know?

In terms of the bisexuality he found out around middle school. Cute girl on the track them made them feel things (back before they knew they were a "him") and he had a full blown melt down about it because catholic school and household how will he ever live with himself oh god-

The girl liked him back, so they had like a secret thing going on before both being outed and punished, and it was a whole thing

6. How does your oc feel about labels? Theirs, or in general?

So- I, the creator, have labels for them for art purposes - Aphid the character? Could not care less. Just call him his name and pronouns, and he's all good. He does his best to be respectful of others' stuff in that way, too.

9. Are there cultural or lore specific aspects to their identity? If applicable, does their species affect it?

I did make Aphid Mexican-American, and his family is pretty Catholic growing up. Definitely led to having some internalized shit for a long time, but they slowly learned it was okay to exist and let others exist.

11. Is your oc open about their identity? Are they more lowkey or more blunt about it? Why or why not?

He's not closed or open he just is. If you ask, he'll tell. He has very noticeable top surgery scars and likes being shirtless. He will openly talk about sucking dick when it's funny or relavant. He doesn't rush to tell people, but he makes no effort to hide it.

Oc Interview questions! Tagged by @adelaidedrubman and @simplegenius042 thanks yall!

(doing this like he's the one awnsering- no bombs au moment, imagine Sharky in the background like one of those animals that soothes horses)

Name: "Aphid Hernández"

Nickname: "Oh gosh- people call me Aph if that counts? And of course, Rook, but I don't know if I'd say I'm much of a Rookie after all this, Joey says it's habit now, but I think she finds the look i give her funny.

Gender: "boy- uh man? But I also like they/them pronouns as much as he/ him - pick ya poison there"

Star sign: "Taurus, I think." (He's right)

Personality type: "I'll be real I don't know this one- I did this test like 5 years ago because a buddy wanted to know but fuck if I remember the results" (it's ISFP)

Height: "5'7" last i checked." (yes, i made him shorter.)

Orientation: "Bisexual, I think, but I'll date whoever if we dig one another enough. I'm also poly, but it's not like anyone's able to match Sharks at the moment - also, if a single person in Hope County gives me shit they will find my shovel in their stomach."

Nationality/Ethnicity: "Mexican-American"

Favorite fruit: "oh- that's a tough one- I think I like kiwi best though, weird little things, taste good too."

Favorite season: "waiting for it to cool down and for fall to arrive - ain't this place the mountains? Why am I still sweating when I walk outside? (Long pause) "it's Fall"

Favorite flower: "My tattoo says it all, the gladiolus, cool flowers, I looked up the meaning a long time ago, but it's kinda left my brain since"

Favorite scent: "can't beat a barbecue but I'm partial to most fire-associated smells- Sharky stop looking at me like that."

Coffee, tea, or HC: "oh- coffee for sure, iced tea is good too though."

Average hours of sleep: "Okay. So I know 8 hours is what you're supposed to get- but you think 4 is acceptable? 5 when I'm lucky? Sharky seriously stop-"

Dog or cat person: "lord don't make me pick, not when I got Boomer and Peaches around,"

Dream trip: "tent near a place far away from civilization, by a river, just me fishing and hunting for as long as I can stand to be alone, then I leave."

Favorite fictional/real character: "oh- Ramona Flowers was my gay awakening, she's top of the list for that reason alone.

Number of blankets they sleep with: "Normally, there's a small pile of various blankets under me, and then there's a big one over top like I'm in a nest. Real cozy, I highly recommend it."

Random fact: "oh I hate being asked to give a fun fact uh- I play dungeons and dragons- or I did but I kinda don't have anybody to play with anymore so ya know if anybody in Hope County wants to play hit me up. I cook, too - is that a fact? I feel like people should cook in general, but ya know."

I do NOT know who to tag, and I think most have already been tagged - if you haven't, this is ur tag now. I better see u on my dash soon (/j)

Snippet from a scrapped fic idea because I like this part, but I also don't think I'm coming back to it ever.

Context isn't needed because it's really just the first couple of paragraphs, but just know it's New Dawn (of course), and they have some downtime to patch each other up.

Sharky finishes with wrapping my arm in new bandages, a lot of things have happened and changed these past years but I'm glad we're still patching each other up like usual, he hands me the roll he used so I can change his. We could definitely do this by ourselves (we have been for years) but it gives us a chance to chat. Hes telling me a story that he's mentioned off hand but never elaborated on, something about him and Hurk trying to brew moonshine but he dropped a lighter and almost killed them both.

"It was a fuckin shit show lemme tell ya," he moves a lot when talking, "all of our supplies go up in flames, Hurk and I saved a bottle and a half at most, ruined all our progress and we were running low on beer we found in abandoned homes. Shit got rough- ow!"

"Sorry sorry, I always make em too tight," I quickly loosen the wrappings around his thigh, and try again.

"Its good its good, anyway, shit was rough, and then Hurk remembers this video he saw back in the day of these animals getting drunk off rotting fruit on the ground," he hands me the scissors to cut the bandages, "and I'm like 'thats a great idea' and we find this fruit tree and there was a shit ton of fruit on the ground-"

"Sharks, please tell me you two didn't eat dirty fermented fruit off the ground," I can't even hide my exasperation, but I also can't hide the fact that I'm smiling over him doing something stupid.

"I learned my lesson! Swear!" He says, "you can't give me shit for my safety you do dumb stuff too!"

"Oh yeah? Like what," I try not to sound serious, I'm getting back into using tone indicators when I speak since I haven't really been around anybody in a while and I don't want him to think of this as a warning or anything.
