@screwzara here they are twin

Fun fact, regardless of the story I’m writing, I always include what I call a “shenanigans page” filled with silly quotes or situations I think apply to my OCs

So… have a few shenanigans from Echoes of Starlight

*Mae and Casey flirting with each other yet again*

Leif: And you two are sure you're not dating?

Mae: 100%.

Casey: Of course not! Why would you think that?

Leif: I wonder why that possibility would even cross my mind, Casey. I fucking wonder.

Casey: Anyone else feel good when their brain releases a bunch of endorphins?

Mae: Can't relate.

Leif: Why would my brain release a bunch of dolphins?

Leif: This bloodline ends with me.

Casey: That's the fanciest way I've ever heard someone say "I'm gay".

Casey: Heh, Rowan sneezes like a girl.

Rowan: How about I pound you like a boy?

Rowan: That didn’t come out right.

Leif: I know this isn’t going to end well and I don’t care. So don’t you try and stop me, Mae!

Mae: I wasn’t stopping you. I was asking if you had a spare camera so I can record this.

Casey: Wait, what's going on? Are we all talking about how hot Rowan is? Because Rowan is a straight-up sexual fox riding a red-hot nuclear bombshell right toward the Yowza plaza in the heart of Babe City, Assachusetts, U S A. The last A just stands for more ass.

Casey, at Starbucks: Can I get a Venti vanilla latte with um, seven espresso shots?

Mae, in line behind him: Jesus Christ, just do cocaine.

Mae: I prevented a murder today.

Rowan: Really? That’s amazing! How did you do that?

Mae: Self-control.

Leif: I just found out that humans are capable of fitting a light bulb into their mouth with ease but can’t take it out without shattering it, and now I have to physically restrain myself from putting a light bulb in my mouth.

Casey: *slams down an absolute doorstopper of a tome* I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading.

Leif: This is light?!

Leif: You can de-escalate literally any situation by asking ‘Are we about to kiss?’

Leif: Doesn't work with getting out of speeding tickets, though.

Leif: Yum, thanks!

Kidnapper: *puts more tape over his mouth* I said stop eating it.

Rowan, reading a recipe: Beat three eggs?

Leif: It means like in hand-to-hand combat.

Rowan: Ohhhh-

Mae: Both of you get out of this kitchen.

Mae: Do you see yourself as a glass half-full or glass half-empty kind of person?

Casey: Half-full, definitely.

Casey: Half-full and constantly rising.

Casey: Soon the water will escape its container and consume us all.

Leif: Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to fear how much they love me.

Leif: Hey Casey, I’ve got an idea for how to solve this.

Rowan, pulling out a shotgun: Yeah?

Leif: Wh- No! That’s not the idea, Rowan!

Rowan: I’m sick and tired of being called 'mortal' like, you don’t know that. Neither do I. I have never died even ONCE. Nothing has been proven yet. Stop making assumptions. It’s rude.

Mae: Yesterday, I overheard Casey saying “Are you sure this is a good idea?” and Leif replying “Trust me,” and I have never moved from one room to another so quickly in my life.

Casey: *pulls back the curtain while Rowan is showering*

Casey: Hey did we - stop screaming it’s me - did we run out of Cheerios?

Leif: What state do you live in?

Mae: I live in a state of constant anxiety.

Mae: Gods, give me patience.

Leif: I think you mean “Give me strength”?

Mae: If the gods gave me strength, you’d be dead.

Casey: So, I heard you like bad boys… I time travel in Animal Crossing.

Mae: When I see initials carved into a tree with a heart I think it’s so romantic. Two lovers on a date... one of them carrying a knife for some reason.

Okay…. That’s it for now, but I have so many more of these so I’ll do a part two later if anyone likes these

Also… artist moots… like if u wanted to draw any of these situations 👉👈 I wouldn’t mind…

And… send any and all questions you have in an ask if you wanna know anything abt my blorbos. Just no super general questions (they’re hard to answer)

Echoes of Starlight asks!!! (Mostly simple/silly ones :P)

○ What are Casey and Mar's favorite video games to play together?

○ Where/how did Casey get his beanie and does he wear it all the time?

○ Do any of the characters have siblings?

○ How did Casey and Mae meet?

○ How are Casey and Mae's grades in school?

○ What does Leif think of Casey and Mae?

○ What does Casey usually do for theatre? I know he does tech but does he usually do certain positions (Deck Crew, ASM/SM, sound, lights, etc) or does he kind of just do it all?

○ Does Mae interact with the theatre program at all through Casey? Does he usually go to the shows?

Usually friend slop games like Minecraft, Roblox, Repo, Peak. But usually it’s Mae making Casey Play horror games with him. Mae loves horror, Casey not so much

Most of Casey’s outfit actually came from a character I haven’t introduced yet, her name is Fern. Casey has almost no sense of style whatsoever and it kind of irked Fern, so she took him on a shopping spree and now bro just has a bunch of clothes. Fern is part of the school trio (Casey, David, and Fern) which is separate from the main trio (Casey, Mae, and Leif) and Casey pretty much wears the same beanie, it keeps his insanely fluffy hair in check.

Casey is an only child

Mae has an older sister, Jack who is currently in college. I’ll put her profile here:

Jacqueline (Jack) Metternich

Age: 24

Height: 5'8

Home: Mokelumne Hill

Gender: Female

Species: Human

Hair color: Black

Eye color: Brown

Sexuality: Bisexual

Info: Mae's order sister. She's currently away at college and participating in intense water polo campaigns. She's a bit of a brute but she's kind at heart.

Casey and Mae met when they were rlly young, Casey was at his dad’s for the weekend in Mokelumne Hill (where Mae lives, if you wanna know about it, look the place up). Anyway, Casey ran off on his own to the local park. He was trying to get to his grandma’s house but he forgot how to get there so he just went to play in the sandbox lol. At this time, Jackie still lived with Mae and their aunt, the two were at a local cafe getting milkshakes when Mae decided to get away from his overprotective sister and found Casey at the playground, wondering why this kid was digging a hole in the sand. Casey invited him to play, which was strange because most kids made fun of Mae for his crutches. Since that day, Mae decided that this imaginative boy was his best friend.

Lil drawing of when they first met: credits to @pompeiiii as always ILYSM twin

Mae has amazing grades, very good student. Though he does independent study due to a large amount of bullying during elementary school. Casey on the other hand, his grades are hit or miss. He’s not the best math student mainly due to his inability to focus, his grades mostly consist of C’s, B’sand a few A’s. His best classes are English and tech theater.

Leif adapts really quickly to his new surroundings mainly thanks to Casey’s help, the two are practically brothers. And of course he gets along with Mae too, but he really likes to tease the grumpy teen.

Casey has done it all at this point, but he likes stage managing because he can hang out with the actors. But when needed, he’ll go wherever. Unlike most students who just take tech theatre as a class, Casey also helps out outside of school. He may not be an actor, but the theater is his home away from home.

Mae will go to most shows, only when Casey is especially proud of something, like the special effects or something. Mainly he comes over just to hang out afterwards so it isn’t Casey going all the way over from Angels Camp to Mokelumne Hill all the time. But he doesn’t interact with theatre at all. Seeing as it’s not his thing plus he doesn’t go to Casey’s school.

Tysm for the ask it means so much!!!

Gonna tag EOS taglist because this was a large info dump: Echoes of Starlight Tags: @owlbboy @shrimp-lord-of-hell @meetmeataliminalspace @shycroissanti @elronthemage @thunder-dexy @red52z @scibot9000 @sillygoobr64 @astro-boi08 @pompeiiii @eli-theblob @ocean415v @onlypartiallysane @urkotheuppercase @theatricalchildofapollo @floormoss @fl0or-icecream @screwzara @manicallyydepressedpsychopath @kitridge @hopingitdontbreak @ghosttclown @pearlynewtsofnewt @bboomboxx

ART BE UPON YE 💥‼️✨️

I drew Luka, Casey, and a bit of Mae (sorry if any of the designs are wrong/off ;-;)

I headcanon that Luka covers his mouth when he laughs and I've draw Luka before so I wanted to have fun with expressions (sorry if it's a bit out of character but he's gotta laugh at SOME POINT, right??)

Uhm also CASEY AND MAE SEEM SO COOL AND I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THE MAGIC STORY :D

Anyway. Hope you like the art and have the awesomest week :>

AAUUUUGGHHHHHHH I LOVE THEM AND JAHAHJWJJEHDUDH

Yeah, Luka 100% covers his mouth when he laughs, he’s a lil weirdo like that also I livehowyoudrewhisexpressionsomuchomgimgunnadie

Also Casey and Mae look so magesticalllll

I’m very close to posting about EOS (Echos of Starlight)

[foreign-starlight]

Hellooooosssssss

Hru doing???

And what are your characters favorite songs/music genres? That’s my way of better understanding personalities lol

Also thank you so much twin for the reblog! That’s the most likes I’ve ever gotten! 🫶🏻

Hellurrr

I’m gonna go to theatre soon so uhhh here’s some of their playlists :3

Gonna be honest, Mae’s is kinda in need of reworking. But he listens to more electronic, 2000s ish stuff if that makes sense… and video game soundtracks

Leif doesn’t have a playlist atm <\3 but I think he’d like more acoustic stuff/live performances (he’s not very tech savvy)

Also I have a playlist for general vibes for arc 1 :3

Also don’t mention it, I think u should post the animation on instagram if u want. It deserves more attention >:(

[foreign-starlight]

Haiiii

What does Casey carry around in his pockets? What about his bag?

In his pockets, prolly his phone and random trinkets he found

His bag however, he has a knife, a lighter, water, various random trinkets, his switch, and a book… more often than not it’s just random items that don’t really make sense to carry around

Mae: hey, do you have a pencil?

Casey: yeah, in my bag

*mae ruffles through bag, finding the most absurd items*

Mae: Casey, why is there a horseshoe in your bag?

Casey: to keep away the Fae.

Mae: uhm… okay

Mae: a bag of shredded cheese..?

Casey: to distract cryptids

Mae: you ate this didn’t you?

Casey: ya, no I ate it

[foreign-starlight]

Ask game thing for Casey and Mae

4. Describe the three most important photographs your OC owns

14. Does your OC hold grudges? How good are they at letting things go? Do they believe in second chances?

23. What is your OC like when they're angry?

46. Does your OC carry any guilt with them?

49. Does your OC fear death?

Your starving the Echoes of Starlight fans bro feed us /silly (no pressure of course)

Casey:

4. First picture is a silly selfie of him and Mae, the next is a picture of the stage crew from a theatre performance he worked. The last one is a physical photograph that he has safe in his bag, a picture of little kid Casey and his grandmother, Zelda Graves under a large maple tree in her back yard. Just ignore the person with a scratched out face standing beside them.

14. For the most part, Casey doesn’t hold grudges, he greatly believes in second chances and he’s quick to forgive. However, there’s a few people he’ll never forgive for what they did. On surface value, he seems just like a happy, whimsical cinnamon roll, but he’s got a lot of repressed issues which are more noticeable in arc 2 and 3

23. When Casey is upset, he tries to contain it, but he’s a crier, an angry crier. Early on he struggles with how to express himself. He hates feeling upset.

46. In terms of Arc one, no. Later however, that poor boy

49. Kind of, in a way he thinks of death as something poetic and morbidly beautiful, he’s kinda naive in that way, thinking of death like something from a storybook. He’s never really thought about him dying.

Mae:

4. First photograph is a picture of Casey looking up at the stars up in the mountains, second is a picture of Mae, his older sister, and their aunt. The third picture is his pigeon Syrup on top of his favorite stuffed animal.

14. Unlike his best friend, Mae can and will hate you forever if you mess with him or the people he loves.

23. Mae is very likely to blow up and get in your face, spurting creative and hurtful insults that are shockingly accurate. That’s when he’s truly angry, he gets irritated easily which is different.

46. Not necessarily, no. According to @pompeiiii he’s a “have a day you deserve” kind of person, he’ll unapologetically be shitty to shitty people. He doesn’t care what people think about him

49. He would act like he doesn’t, but the thought of dying alone utterly terrifies Mae

[foreign-starlight]

Urgh drawing in the car is so hard

Tried to draw one of my ocs, Mae Metternich, he’s Casey’s best friend and one of the main characters in Echoes of starlight

He has Spastic Diplegia which is a form of cerebral palsy which mainly affects his walking, bro can’t balance for his life. So he has forearm crutches, sometimes a wheelchair if he’s rlly tired

[foreign-starlight]

Characters greatest fears?

[EOS]Casey- he's scared of the deep ocean but more importantly he's scared that he'll never be himself, just a reflection of someone else

[EOS]Mae: the people he loves abandoning him

[EOS]Leif: losing everyone he loves (again)

[EOS] David: Being rejected

[AH] Luka: that he'll never be good enough
