mad sprites for fun
sooo i was just wondering what the term ‘deoncelerization’ means, cause i keep seeing it when i stalk older blogs XD
thank youu !
It's when someone decides to take most or all of the "onceler" aspects out of their onceler OC, so that they become a regular OC without any ties to the onceler. The change doesn't necessarily have to happen instantly either, like maybe they've been rping and making so many headcanons for their onceler OC that over the months or years their onceler OC barely has any connection to the onceler anymore, not in looks, not in goals, not in backstory, not in personality or interests, nothing, and they look back and realize, hey, it might be fun to officially deoncelerize and go nuts with creativity! But the general etiquette is that a onceler OC is a onceler OC so long as the creator still says so.
And for a bit of history, you can look through this page here: https://www.tumblr.com/wansura/search/deoncelerization
But the most important posts from that link are these:
[link 1] The very first deoncelerized onceler askblogs (we called them onceler askblogs back then instead of onceler ocs). It started in our Thneedville High AU. At the beginning it was just people having fun with headcanons for what their oncelers would be like if they weren't oncelers, and gradually it became a whole movement where people actually decided to change their characters permanently.
[link 2] "What is deoncelerization?"
[link 3] When deoncelerization was first proposed, many people were upset. Which is funny since one of the big reasons that deoncelerization was proposed in the first place was because the purists in the fandom were very vocal about HATING the fact that some ppl were letting their onceler askblogs deviate too much from canon movie onceler. (The fandom by november 2012 was very divided between AU askblog enjoyers and canon movie purists (i personally have always liked both canon and askblogs tho)) And then people became upset thinking that deoncelerization meant the end of the onceler fandom. 😂 No way!!!
There are people from outside of the fandom who have posted onceler fandom analyses claiming that the fandom disappeared overnight at the end of 2012 due to deoncelerization or due to imploding from too many askblogs deviating too far away from canon. This is NOT true. Like sure, maybe some ppl deoncelerized because they didn't want to associate with the fandom anymore, and we respected their decision if so. But from my experience many deoncelerized characters continued to interact with oncelers or other lorax characters, and people in the onceler fandom continued to follow and enjoy the stories of characters who got deoncelerized. The onceler fandom will always be the friends we've made along the way and I mean this so seriously.

Hii hope this isnt a weird thing to ask but do you have any tips on how to deoncelerize characters from media you dont like anymore? Seeing you talk about it made me feel inspired to do the same with this one game I dont like anymore but have an intense attachment to ceirtain characters from it. Again, so sorry if thats a weird thing to ask, have a good day.
not weird dw!!
theres no right or wrong way to deoncelerize a character, the hardest part is learning to stop associating them with their source media (though thatll get easier over time!). otherwise heres some tips for oc-ifying them
change up their design to your liking!! personally, i use this "telephone" method where i redraw characters over and over from memory while tacking on extra traits i like to test things out. generally i do this with all of my designs before deoncelerization so i spend less time on this when im actually oc-ifying characters
figure out what you wanna do with them! do you want to give them their own ocverse? do you want to add them into an already existing ocverse you have? wanna turn them into a fan-oc for another interest you have? do you wanna just make them a standalone doodle character? figuring out what you wanna do with them can help figure out how you want to revise them
not always necessary, but change up their character a bit!
i guess this is related to the above tip but you can also change up their name, esp when they have a unique/recognizable name. i changed my benrey deoncelerization to Bert
do Not be scared of mischaracterization when it comes to deoncelerization. the whole point is to disassociate a character from their source, if you dont wanna make them resemble their source then thats COMPLETELY FINE
thats all i can think of right now. you do not HAVE to conform to all of these tips ofc. you can deoncelerize characters and have them look exactly like their original counterpart. it all depends on mental perception of the character and disassociating them with their source. ALWAYS REMEMBER to have fun and play and do anythang u want forever
also since were on this topic i realy wanna show off my deoncelerized characters and their sources. under the read more ok ...
the sexyman poll reminded me of something so i have a future prediction -- very soon we'll be seeing a lot of 'original characters' who were very clearly originally a Sans Variant, and it will be incredibly funny
OOOOOOOOOOH MY GODDDDDD????
Deoncelerization comes to Sans Undertale.
I love is, I cannot WAIT.
I loved it with homestuck, loved it with Once-lers, loved it with MLP and star trek.
People's fan OCs becoming just OCs is my favourite transformation in fandom because that is how you measure a piece of work's ultimate influence. By how many future original properties it affects.
(My second favourite is when artists sneak fandom references into unrealted things, for the same reason).
infinity train hot take: lake is deoncelerized tulip
Ask-Nymph-Greedler has moved
Nymph has been de-oncelerized, and now goes as Skyler Avia, running as an OC blog for my fictional world, containing it’s own lore and characters.
His current URL is Nymphs-of-Sanguine but that may be subject to change
There will be MAJOR changes to Skyler’s previous answers and canon lore over the next few days, so please be patient. Skyler and the others on his blogs can still be interacted with by Oncelers, and they probably will be since I’m still in it big time
Thanks!
