a-z B)

Really Azi? Really?

A: Your current OTP.

Thanks to azraeldigabriel / believeinasmilingcecil , sg x cecil. I'm really not even sorry.

B: A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind.

Cecil x Earl, thanks to eternalscoutspirit

C: A pairing you wish you shipped, but just can't.

Honestly, I wish I was more into Cecilos since it's canon. The first time we get a canon ship like this, and I just can't get into it like I wish I could. I also kind of wish that I shipped Daniel x Lauren since everyone else ships that, but I can't get myself to. It's probably one of my NoTPs honestly.

D: What was the first thing you ever contributed to a fandom?

Uh... I cosplay?

E: Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what?

The only thing I can think of is when I was cosplaying Kevin while hosting the wtnv panel at Dashcon, the people in the audience were saying something rude about Kevin (can't remember what it was) so I stood up and said "I came out here to have a good time, and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now." You know, when that meme was still popular.

I also did it while everyone was waiting for the liveshow to start and chanting "Take down Strex!", although no one heard me except for the few people around.

F: What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? What fandom was it?

I think that Welcome to Night Vale is currently my longest fandom.

G: What was your first fandom?

... Homestuck.

H: Do you prefer real-life TV shows or animated TV shows?

I think I'm more into animated shows like Gravity Falls or Over the Garden Wall.

I: Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

Sherlock. There was so much hate within that fandom for so long (mainly against Elementary) that I was just done with it. Nope. Moving on from Sherlock now.

J: Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr.

Supernatural. Probably Welcome to Night Vale. I don't remember what got me into it.

K: How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom(s).

Honestly, everyone I've met in the wtnv fandom has been so so great and I cannot even imagine never having met them <3. 

(I started mentioning them here but the list got a bit long)

L: Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for?

Literally anything with Kevin in it. I love Kevin.

M: A person who got you into a fandom and what fandom they pulled you in to.

I can't think of any fandom I've been pulled into by someone else. I think karkatsvanta got me to watch Over the Garden Wall? Maybe?

N: Your favorite fandom (for the people; not the thing you fangirl over).

Welcome to Night Vale. As I said before, I've met the greatest people in this fandom and I'm so so thankful for all of them.

O: Choose a song at random, what ship does it remind you of?

Centuries by Fall Out Boy is totally a Cecearl song, hands down.

P: Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

Person A finds out that person B is actually a machine who thinks that they are a human.

Q: A ship you’ve abandoned and why.

Destiel. I used to ship it, but the rest of the fandom just became so overwhelmed with it and honestly I got kind of annoyed.

R: A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships.

Other than azraeldigabriel (and I think crows-cats-and-cackles?) SG x Cecil.

S: What's a headcanon you have?

LeT ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY CECIL HEADCANON. This deserves its own post but I'll try to keep it short. So, my headcanon is that Cecil's appearance changes all the time, yet everyone still knows that he is Cecil. So sometimes he's one person's headcanon, sometimes he's another person's headcanon, etc. Thus everyone's Cecil headcanon is true at one point or another.

T: What are your favorite male/male ships or female/female ships?

Cecil x Kevin. Cecil x Carlos. Kevin x Daniel (if that counts?). 

U: What are your favorite male/female ships?

I've just realised that I don't have any.

V: Do you have any 3-way ships? If so, what?

Cecilinos (Cecil, Kevin, and Carlos)

W: 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms.

Kevin from Welcome to Night Vale

Aziraphale from Good Omens (I'm pretty sure this counts)

Alucard from Hellsing (the smallest fandom you will ever find)

Roxas from Kingdom Hearts

Armin Arlert from Attack on Titan

X: 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms.

Cecilin from Welcome to Night Vale

Rosemary from Homestuck

Why is this the hard question

Y: A fandom you’re in but have no ships from.

Doctor Who.

Z: What's a ship that you want to ship publicly, but everyone on tumblr hates it so you keep your mouth shut about it?

I don't actually have any secret ships.

So someone asked about my ocs...

All of them are ocs for Welcome to Night Vale, because (if you haven't noticed yet) I really like wtnv. Under the cut because this will probably get long:

(Also to keep this somewhat "short," I'll only talk about four)

Forewarning: it isn't short. I tried to make it short, but it didn't work out too well.

Tw: PTSD mentions (under Ash Gillard)

Vincent Cortez

My Desert Bluffs!Carlos. He works in the production and testing of personalities and AIs for the biomachines of Strex. He can't remember much of his pre-Strex self due to his reeducation. The only things he can remember are the more emotional parts, as reeducation can't erase those. He remembers his younger sister (Maria) who died when he was about fourteen and she was eleven. They were out in a forest together when Maria fell into a fast moving river and drowned. He jumped in after her to try to save her but didn't make it in time. A lot of his skin is still covered in scars (mostly on his stomach/chest, arms, and legs) from the jagged rocks in the water that cut him. His parents decided that her death was his fault and started to hate him for that. Years later when he was in college he met someone named Max and they fell in love. They moved in together and Vincent's family disowned him for "being gay". (He's demisexual/panromantic, for those of you wondering).

After they graduated, Max would often leave notes for Vin after he left in the morning, as he left for work before Vincent woke up. (This is important, I promise). Vincent finally decided he would propose to Max and invited him on a date (where he would propose). On the way there, Max got in a car crash and Vincent found out and rushed to the hospital. He was unconscious in his hospital room when Vincent walked in and he died the second Vincent touched his hand. Vin got a tattoo (back of his right shoulder) of the last message Max left for him that said "Stay true to yourself! -Max" with a little heart by the name. Vin still wears the ring he was going to propose with. Post-Strex, he doesn't remember why he wears it, but he gets an awful feeling whenever he takes it off. He gets an awful feeling whenever someone calls him Vinny, too, as that's what Max used to call him. He can't remember his sister's name, just that someone close to him died. Whenever someone asks about his family he normally just tells them that he doesn't have one. 

Post-Strex Vincent is basically obsessed with knowledge. He'll do anything to gain it. Let's just say he did a really stupid thing because of that. He tries to find more efficient ways to develop personalities for the biomachines, for example. And one of those ways included (basically) copying the consciousness of another person and putting it in the machine after tweaking it a little to "be more strexy" if that makes sense. One of the stupid things he did, was do this to himself with Carlos. He thought that if he copied Carlos's mind and put it in himself, he would get all of the knowledge that Carlos had. Well it didn't work. And now he sort of has this kind of "split-personality" thing where the Carlos copy completely takes over. He also now talks to himself (or rather, the Carlos part) and yells at him for trying to take control. 

When he's Vincent, he has black eyes (like all Desert Bluffians) due to his eyes being burned out from the light of the Smiling God. As Carlos!Vincent (how I refer to the Carlos half of him), he has normal brown eyes with sectoral heterochromia (with green). The eyes are normal because the Carlos side doesn't believe in a Smiling God so his eyes aren't burned out from the light.

He has to be constantly emotionally shattered in order for his reeducation to stay in effect. (Which I will talk about under Ash).

I think that's pretty much it for him? He treats the biomachines he makes like his children, but will turn on them any time if it'll bring him more knowledge. Also he is right-handed. He does have a blog which I may use some time if I can work up the courage to do so.

Gen Valentine

Gen is an nvcr intern I made originally for this fancast (which I do still intend to start once all of our voices have time to begin recording). There actually isn't much to say about her right now, but there will probably be something under Dawn's description below. Gen and Dawn are technically more or less the same person, where Gen's consciousness was copied and put into Dawn. Except something went wrong with the copying process so the consciousness really just jumps between the two of them. I don't want to say too much as it would spoil the podcast if we ever have time to get it started. If you're really interested, send me a message off anon and I can reply to you privately. She and Dawn also have a blog which I intend to possibly use after we start that fancast. 

There is actually a lot more, but I can't say any of it without spoiling that fancast, since the first arc mainly revolves around her and Dawn.

Damiana (Dawn) Cortez

One of Vincent's biomachines. Genderfluid, she/they. Dawn and Gen can't "be awake" at the same time due to sharing a consciousness, so Dawn knows what it's like to lose control of your body every so often. Because of this, she and Vincent got close and she's the only one as of now who is allowed to call him Vinny. She and eternalscoutspirit's Ollie are very close, since the humans at the station tend to dislike biomachines. So, since they're the only biomachines there, they became friends. Ollie accidentally called Damiana "Dawn" one day and it stuck, so that's now what she goes by. Vincent still calls her Damiana, though.

Ash Gillard

This is my broken little beep boop that I talk about in my tags sometimes and in my Skype statuses. He was also developed by Vincent, not using the copying method. His work wasn't quite cutting it out for what Strex needed him for, so they reprogrammed him to hurt Vincent. Vincent needs to be constantly shattered emotionally (as I said before). Strex's machines have to follow any order they're given, so one of Ash's higher-ups basically ordered him to stab Vincent in the back. Literally. And I do mean quite literally. So he did, and of course Vincent was extremely betrayed because he was led to think that Ash chose to hurt him on his own. Strex let Ash "run away" after that, because it would further Vincent's emotional pain. 

After Ash ran away from Strex he found azraeldigabriel's Leon, another biomachine previously created by Vincent. Leon didn't conform to Strex's work policy, for lack of a better phrase, so they pretty much just let him go. He glitched often so they figured he would just shut down out in the desert. (Apologies if I'm getting any of this wrong, Azzy) He lives out on the edge of town in an old house, where Ash found him. He didn't have anywhere to go, so Leon kind of took him in. Ash was really upset by what he did to Vincent and would have nightmares about it every night and eventually developing PTSD. Or rather, as close to PTSD as a machine could develop. It includes a lot of waking up screaming in the middle of the night (while charging, of course) and Leon would have to calm him down. Without getting too into it, they became really close friends. Close enough where Leon has Ash etch his name into his biomechanical heart.

Now for a sad thing: Strex found Ash again one day and took him back to headquarters where Vincent was. They forced Vincent to reset him, basically make him a completely clean slate that they could use again. (I haven't thought a lot about this part as Azzy and I just thought of it today). Basically, Vincent made it so that Ash would seem temporarily reset, where he would have all of his memories still, he just wouldn't be able to remember them for a while. Vincent did this so that he would still have his biomachine form of PTSD. Vincent wasn't worried about one of his "kids" developing PTSD, he was waayy more interested in the fact that a machine even could develop PTSD.

Ash is still glitching so StrexCorp gets rid of him, assuming he'll just go out and die in the desert like they thought Leon would do. Ash and Leon come across one another again while Ash is still temporarily reset. He doesn't remember who Leon is, and Leon breaks down a bit more inside, because the one who loved him doesn't remember him at all. Ash is also pretty concerned that his name is written on this stranger's heart. Eventually he does remember everything, though. Except then he goes back to how he was before. 

This was quite a lot, but hey, you asked. Also I did still leave a lot of things out and probably forgot to put down even more. This is about as short as this will ever get. So yes, these are four of my ocs.
