do yap about your OCs i am very much interested (Esp the Derek one i automatically love all Derek mcs)

I love all the Derek love omg-

Okay so fun facts ab each of them !! A big thing with my ocs is that each one of them is built around one of my own personality traits. (They're still their own people- Freya is the closest one to an actual self insert.)

Aurora's trait is tragic idealism. She always wants to think the best of people, even if the proof of the opposite is staring her in the face. She also has published about 5 books by Step Four, all of which she finds in Baxter's apartment (to his mortification).

Felicity's is the fact that she draws all of her opinions about herself from her ability to do things– The main source of her insecurities is the fact that her disability is always going to disable her. She also painted the wall around her window when she was 16. It was part of a theraputic project.

Oline is self-isolation. She finds that every time she lets herself get close to anyone who isn't a childhood friend, it turns out bad for her, which only gets worse when she has Sasha. She also is my only oc that punches Jeremy.

Freya is maladaptive daydreaming. With reality being so inconsistent, it's easier to just think about the ways things could be. If she can convince other people that things could be good too, then no one would have to be sad anymore. She exists in the same timeline as Aurora, and actually helps in the editing process of Aurora's books.

Trixie is emotional instability, specifically difficulty controlling anger. Things aren't fair, and they don't feel like they should need to pretend they are. I actually originally wrote him to be an invesitgative journalist in crime cases, but I felt like I had too many writing-based career ocs so I had to scrap the idea, and he is now a cosmetologist.

Oline like directly after step 4 is in like the most doomed polycule ever (which is that shes not in one).

Derek loves her a lot, and he would never want her to settle for him. He helps her raise Sasha because he cares about her, and he always wants to help her. When Oline and Baxter get 'back' together, he's happy for her. But then Sasha, this sweet little girl who he loves more than life itself just isn't there as much anymore- No more sleepovers where she sneaks into Nico's bed in the middle of the night. No more making silly jokes together in spanish because he KNOWS Oline doesn't understand a word.

Baxter is jealous– His daughter. HIS daughter, is so attached to someone else- Someone who filled the role that he knows should've beeb his. He feels guilty for even daring to be upset, knowing this was his own fault, but it makes his chest hurt every time Sasha asks when she gets to go see Derek again.

And Oline is conflicted. She's happy, sure. She has Baxter, who loves her and makes her happy even if her logic tells her she should still be pissed. She has her daughter, who is more important to her than anyone. And yet, when Baxter asks, mumbled between them in a moment of vulnerability, if she would've ended up with Derek given the time, she can't answer. She knows logically the answer is yes. She loves that boy, and with time, the little family unit they built would've become the norm. She would've been happy then, too.

But that moment has passed. The sickness she feels when she thinks about that will pass too.

At least, she hopes.

Sasha being raised bilingual when her second language is one NEITHER of her parents speak is so silly to me, ik for a fact her and Derek talk shit in the same room once she's older.

Thinking about Derek bringing Sasha to see Oline the day before the wedding not knowing Baxter is at the house. And Baxter isn't stupid so he puts the pieces together. So the chaos is unfolding and Sasha is just like sitting there oblivious to the fact that she IS the drama (She is busy doing duolingo on Derek's phone).
