Speak my child. Speak your truth. (The OCs)

HEEHEE

so first off run down of my main oc stories, then the loose ocs i have running about

so! my main story out of everything is ashstone!! my silly lil metaphor for trauma and isolation i adore it so much, basically fucked up mountain based off the highlands and islands and everyones mentally ill on it And Good God There;s Beasts

next we have the one i havent worked on in a while cause i had to give it a major renovation and its. still unnamed sobs and goes by the working title "experiment gang" cause that was the joke name for the main characters but anyway five human experiment guys with superpowers become the worst found siblings ever and try to explode the government

and last main one rn is helmine!! fucked up selkie story cause i needed something more than ashstone to process some shit, a 23 year old selkie finds out ai is in fact a selkie and forces ais friends to come along on a murder quest to find ais sealskin, things go wrong!

NOW FOR LOOSE OCS I HAVE FLOATING IN MY BRAIN!!

one of my more iconic ones is lazarus, he DID have a story to go with him but i dont like it anymore, i still like him though

basically hes got a bunch of fucked up superpowers that genuinely hurt to use but he does it anyway even though hes been told not to

hes like 49 and hes a whore and keeps doing body horror shit unprompted for fun

been thinking about neopronounsing him but nothing quite feels like him

another fun oc i have a care about a lot is gwendolyn sloughton!! gwen for short, shes so fucked up

basically her whole thing is shes got some subconscious reality altering power, shes not even aware of it cause shes grown up with it, so like for example for her 12th birthday she Really wanted a dog but her parents couldnt afford one at the time but when she came home from school there was a dog waiting for her out of nowhere

unfortunately shes not a good person!! so it turned from innocent things to "i wonder what it would be like to watch someone get hit by a car" and shit, and low and behold it happens

she also kills people in her 20s cause she can get away with it due to this, its really fun to write especially cause other people around her can pick up on things being changed around her but she has no idea

MOVING ON FROM GWENS MURDER PALACE!!! we now have ribs my beloved

hes a werecrocodile!! and theyve kinda grown up completely feral in the middle of nowhere about it

also has a lot of scars and even missing half their left hand from doing crocodile things and fighting with others

hes another bitch who originally had a story but i dont remember anyones name in it but basically he accidentally got kidnapped and now theres a werecroc lost in the big city, surely nothing will go wrong

last one im thinking about rn is almyra!!

shes a funky lil sentient dimension that Believes shes the ghost of a woman who died in like 1904, in reality she was there before the woman [the real almyra] was even born its just when she was murdered things got worse

she thinks shes just haunting the house almyra died in, shes not, shes taken over a entire town and her reach is still growing

a lot of people go missing cause of her and she doesnt even realise it

BIG FILE omg but lookie old art :’D

1. Rosethorn and Bumblepaw. Rose is Hawkberry’s grandfather on his dad’s side. He’s a quiet thoughtful tom who likes spend his time in peace and doing his job. Bumblepaw is a young apprentice he befriended not long after his warrior ceremony. Bumble suffered from being shy and having no friends. They two made a good hunting team.

2. Ambertongue :3 A very very big she-kitty with a somewhat harsh look on life. Does have a deep caring side she shows to her family.

3. Goldenfeather. Mad cat of Valleyclan wayyy back when (two mad cats before snakeleaf and 3 before Hawky) A flirtatious tom cat. Has no interest in getting a mate but does love to get attention and cuddles ;333 Had a little crush on amber for a long time but is quite happy as friends.

4. One day Rose and Bumble go out for a walk, not paying too much attention to the dark clouds above them. The storm hits while they're far from camp and in the harsh rain, they lose their way and end up near Streamclan. A small of patrol cats attack, nervous from rogue cats who have been hanging around lately. Rosethorn strikes back instantly, mind on little Bumblepaw and his protection. The Stream cats do pull back when they notice and help them along the river towards their camp. On the way though, Bumble slips on the wet rocks and from the wind and hits his head. Rose gets him home but it's far too late. The cat here is his mother, snarling at Rose for 'killing' her son. The tom should have known, she said. Rose agreed with her, feeling the guilt and grief.

5. Amber talking to Rose in order to help him back on his feet. They two grew close over the following moons and Amber finally popped that question (rose was too chicken :p )

6. !! Ashstone! Hawkberry’s dad yay. Ash had a very good close relationship to his parents and was a happy guy :D

shitty ass joke summaries of my original stories cause i just named two of them

Ashstone - several people make poor life decisions and are surprised when it backfires on them

still unnamed story from 2019 - worlds worst found siblings decide to take down the government

Helmine - "i decided im gonna kill someone to cope with my trauma and im making it your problem too"

Something Is Wrong With Gwendolyn Sloughton - imagine if the malicious cosmic horror threatening your reality was a 20 year old photography student who likes horoscopes too much and wears cunty outfits

Breathing Inside Phastasmagoria - "surely if i dont tell my friends and sister what im really doing it will be fine! why is it so dark all of a sudden"

[gaysonlyocean]

i hope you feel better soon man {:(

also whats ashstone?

thank you i will i just jhghj want to get things out of my head

ashstone is my own lil story ive been working on! i love it very much :]

plot is this woman called adele has a manic episode and spends literally all her money just travelling blindly, she starts coming out of it and now realises shes too broke to go back home and is stuck on this mountain, surely she can just get a part time job or something until she can afford the bus fare back right? wrong!

we got metaphors for trauma, we got themes of isolation and abandonment, we have found family, we have self destructive people refusing help for their problems, and almost the entire cast is queer

its very important to me :]

[gaysonlyocean]

Im. Obsessed with these two meeting. (Chalia has an altered form where she is. Cursed Mountain Goat. I imagine adele would meet chalia while she is in Cursed Mountain Goat Form.)

PLEASEEEEEE

adele is freaked out but depending on where in the story she is her reaction is either "WHAT THE FUCK" or "wouldnt even notice with the shit i got going on/ref" LOKJUHGRFDFTGYHUJILPOKIJUHGRFGTYH

[gaysonlyocean]

For ashstone do you think any of the characters had avoidable fates? Like, could any of them do an action or even inaction to prevent whatever trouble(trauma) they could have gotten.

oh a lot of them

sasha could have reached out for help, elaine could have told people about how bad it was getting at home, adele could have talked to people long before she even got on the bus, gabriel could have put his foot down on odettes obsession, odette could have let ets parents go and let go of the grief, madeleine could have told someone sooner, lenore could have told someone before it happened, bernard could have stopped trying to give maddie the benefit of the doubt, maddie could have actually looked at her actions and realised she was hurting everyone she cared about, reuben could have stopped enabling sasha

but i do wanna say the cases of what happened to all of them that for them all they didnt See other choices

adele was in a episode, she had just needed to get out and away from everything, she had no idea she would end up on the mountain, and she had no idea that odette was so obsessed with revenge

sasha felt betrayed by his friends and couldnt put this on his parents as he cares for them and theyre too sick, he had already resigned to not getting off the mountain when he realised, he was going to go on a self destructive spiral no matter what, it just got worse when he met sasha

madeleines family are very tight knit and theres been high expectations for em and eir siblings for as long as ey can remember, ey learnt young that asking for help didnt end well and this was so big that ey didnt even consider it

gabriel cares about odette as if et was his own child but he knows he cant replace ets parents, so he let et spiral and drift away because he was too afraid of overstepping, and that led to much much worse things than he could have ever known

and many more

[gaysonlyocean]

can u tell us about the main characters of ashstone teehee

YEAH I CAN

our protagonist is adele quinnsley, a trans woman who recently had a manic episode and spent all her savings idly travelling until she ran out and ended up on the mountain, shes someone you can trust to call if you need help with something but she doesnt really open up about her own problems to people, also she has a guitar!

the character adele interacts with the most is odette misory! a local to the mountain who seems to be so happy and lighthearted right up until the moment you enter ets apartment and see everything, ets got a lot going on right now and wont take no for a answer on ets plans, no matter how much ets godfather tries to talk et out of it

another very important character is sasha hoffman, a 18 year old whos stuck on the mountain giving hospice care to his parents, hes self destructive and reckless and sick of everything, he never directly interacts with adele but both of their actions keep echoing back onto eachother so theyre linked regardless!!

we got more characters but these three are the main Main ones yknow kjhgfdfghk
