I either need someone to convince me not to try writing a tfc/Epic the Musical fanfic with y/n as Odysseus and Pierrot as Penelope

Or

I need permission from a bunch of creators to let me use their OCs as other characters as well as character assignments for the cast besides y/n, Pierrot, Nix (my OC), maybe Jester, maybe Harlequin, and maybe Carol

SeaSnake x Reader

Part one of a little series of Y/N and Harlequin trying to wing man for one another to get the attention of Nix. SeaSnake is my personally ship name for Nix x Harlequin. All of these are more than likely going to be silly. Enjoy <3

It had been some time since the circus came to town and thanks to the attention of some of the clowns you had been coming by pretty regularly. Harlequin and Pierrot have taken turns showing you around the area during times when they didn't have shows, but currently they were both busy, so you were just walking around by yourself. You were debating on if you should go into one of the other tents, maybe go into the blue tent again while waiting for Pierrot's show to start? You were walking passed Doctor's tent while deep in thought when you saw someone you don't think you had really seen before.

She was tall for a woman, but still shorter than everyone else you had seen that wasn't a Fool, she wasn't wearing the bright pink of the Fools either. Her deep green hair was long and straight down besides the braid that framed her masked face. Compared to the others, her mask made her look serene, almost like she was peacefully sleeping if not for the fact that she was writing notes back and forth with the Fool outside of the cyan tent. Her hands looked soft and delicate, almost dainty which were contrasted by how muscular her legs looked under the leggings she was wearing.

You had been so focused on this person that felt slightly familiar to you that you failed to notice the presence of the green clown until his chin was resting against your shoulder.

"My, my, dear one. what has you so distracted that you didn't even greet me?" he purred quietly, but it still made you jump slightly. He chuckled deeply at your reaction before following your gaze to the woman and went quiet. The two of you just stood there, looking at this performer until she turned towards you both. She tilted her head slightly before walking over. As she came closer you noticed her mask had pearls placed near her eyes as well as a jagged scar that went across her neck.

"Hello guest. Harlequin." Her voice came out rough but melodious, like she was meant to be in a smoky bar singing jazz, not here at the circus. She cleared her throat before speaking again, "Do you need help escaping this eel, little minnow?" Her voice came out clearer, though there was still some of that husky undertone to it that made you desperate to hear her talk more.

"Eel? You wound me Nix." Harlequin backed away from you to dramatically clutch his chest and laugh. He straightened his posture before slinging his arm around your shoulder to pull you close to him. "Besides (Y/n) is no "minnow" they're a friend of mine, right?" You knew he wanted you to agree with him, though if you were being honest you were a bit more drawn to him over some of the others. You would have all the others, until now.

You couldn't see her eyes like you could with the Harle, but you could feel the concern as she looks at you. Why did she seem so worried for you? You weren't certain until you heard Harlequin talk again.

"(Y/n)?"

"Oh! Sorry, I got lost in my thoughts," you admitted sheepishly as you scratched lightly at your cheek. "But, yea, Harlequin and I are friends. Pierrot is as well."

"You know Sea-star? Perhaps you've seen one of our performances together then?"

"Sea-star? Eel?"

"Nix tends to give nicknames to people based on different sea creatures."

"Oh? That's adorable!" She let out a soft chuckle which filled your stomach with butterflies.

"My, what a cute guest we have. I should properly introduce myself, I am Nix. I'm an aerialist here." She gave a graceful bow as she introduced herself to you and righted herself with the same fluid ease. Your breath hitched as she stepped forward and gently fixed your hair. "I have to leave now, but do let me know if you require assistance."

"Yes, mo- ma'am."

Nix didn't seem to catch your near slip up, or if she did, she didn't comment on it, nor on how your face was heating up. She gave another small bow before walking off towards the red tent. Your eyes tracked her as she went, it wasn't for a loud laugh that took you out of your stupor.

"Damn!" the black haired clown exclaimed between fits of laughter, "I've never seen a siren song work with singing before!" You felt your face heat up again as he was bent over laughing. He wasn't wrong, she was very pretty to look at… Wait a minute.

"Excuse me, I do believe you were also staring at her just as much." You weren't expecting him to fully still and look up you.

I finally finished my art of Nix :3

I can't express how pretty I think they are!

[sunshine-apprentice]

I want to do more fun facts about my TFC OCs, so I'm just gonna do a bullet point list (some of them might be repeated from when I wrote about them to @/freakcircuswives)

Nix can't be out of the water for days at a time, so she has a large pool in her private quarters where she can rest.

Nix and Harlequin have an.. odd relationship. She throws him out of her pool whenever he tries to sneak in there (literally, the record was about 10 from the pool)

Harlequin, being how he is, really wants to "tap that," but Nix is infuriated by his playboy "couldn't care less" facade. I think if those two ever had like a genuine moment where Harlequin wasn't putting up a front, he would end up either getting adopted or the two of them could have a cute little relationship

Speaking of, Nix has the tendency to "adopt" others into her pod when she feels a sort of similarity to them. She gives those in her pod a pearl, usually on a necklace.

The pearl Nix gives those in her pod, and the pearl in the pin she gives MC are different

Nix gets cold fairly easily in her human form

Kay's first interactions with the freak circus was with Doctor. As a baker they tend to get to the cafe pretty early in the morning, even when it's still dark out, so they can start making the baked goods and Doctor only leaves the circus grounds at night

Kay, being from Weat Virginia, knew better than to do anything when you see something you shouldn't have, but, hey, cryptids get hungry too, so they left "the large bird man" out a coffee and pastry

Kay has, in fact, "met" the Mothman. It was one time before they moved for college.

Kay has the weirdest collection of tattoos

[sunshine-apprentice]

Nix and Pierrot sorta made their own version of sign language by taking signs from American, Brazilian, and Greek sign language.

The two of them used this to talk when Nix was unable to speak, and they continue to use it to gossip and talk shit about people.

[sunshine-apprentice]

I sent @freakcircuswives a threat that since they found my sideblog, I will now be spamming info about my TFC OC, Nix. So if you would like to ask about her, feel free 💙🦈

[sunshine-apprentice]

I've been working on yet another OC

This one is for The Freak Circus, a circus visual novel. (It is 18+)

I'm working on some art for her right now, but I'll tell you all about her here. I will have a version of her story/lore below that contains stuff from in game, so be warned if you haven't played it yet.

~ ~ ~ ~

Name: Nix

Pronouns: She/They

Prominent colors: Teal and Light Purple

Sexuality: Demi/Pan

Pin: Teal teardrop with a pearl in the center

Ticket Color: Teal

Nix is an acrobat, primarily doing things in the air such as aerial silks, trapeze, and aerial hoops. She joined the circus much later than the canon cast.

~~How she joined the circus and her lore below. Spoilers and content warnings for: blood, death, near death, abuse, possibly implied SA, starving, and implied cannibalism~~

Nix was a part of a pod of aquatic monsters. She was one of the younger members and was directly related to the leader of the pod. Finding food that actually satiated the pod was hard to come by and had to be worked for.

One day, the leader was approached by a man in a boat. He made an offer to help feed them all. He seemed like a wonderfully helpful man, especially having come so close after the youngest member of the pod had passed away due to lack of food. So the offer was taken.

The pod was moved from the sea to a tank that was barely big enough for them all to swim around as much as they needed. The humans treated them like entertainment rather than living beings, but they got food often enough, so the pod stayed.

The handlers weren't nice people. Often humiliating them or hurting them, occasionally sending small electric shocks into the water if anyone "misbehaved". On rare occasions, two of them would grab one of the older members and drag her out of the water. She would always come back bruised and shaking. Nix and the other members would always be there to help and comfort when they could.

One day, Nix overheard the handlers and the man they made the deal with talking. She didn't understand fully. Something about a circus and a rebellion and "them coming". The way the humans talked, it frightened her. Her fears made manifest when the next night everyone in the pod was taken out of the water.

The humans all had fear, rage, and paranoia in their eyes as they began to attack and murder everyone of the pod. Nix watched in horror as her family was systematically killed in front of her, knowing that she was to join them soon. She was one of the youngest and was one of the last to be attacked. Some god with a sick sense of humor had her killed as the very last, her throat cut, and she was left to die, bleeding out.

She didn't want to die, but she didn't want to be alive either, not with everyone taken away from her. That's when she heard someone or something approaching, fast. An odd mixture of a sound, like large flapping bird wings and fast running steps, quieter but fast steps followed, so more than one person was coming. A man found her, one that didn't smell of human and spoke kindly to her through his odd birdlike mask, though she couldn't make out what he was saying as her vision faded.

She woke up some time later in a large cyan tent, bandages around her neck, partly submerged in a small white tank, a bathtub she thinks. There was a soft smell of flowers through the air, along with something that smelled delicious.

Meat.

Food.

Fresh food was placed on a chair beside the tub as a sort of makeshift table. Her mouth watered at the sight and smell. The food was cut up into small chunks, perhaps to make it easier for her to eat with her neck injured in such a way. She quickly grabbed a piece and began to eat.

Hearing movement in the water, a man walked over, one she almost recognized. He was large, far too large to be human. He didn't quite smell like one either. It was his birdlike mask that made her remember. He was the one that found her. She tried to speak, to thank him, to ask where she was, where the others were, but her voice came out as a squawking gasp.

He motioned for her to calm down as he explained everything. How he found her. How she had been out for about a week. How he managed to keep her alive. How no one else in her pod was able to be saved. How she was welcome to stay with them.

She slowly ate as she listened to everything, occasionally nodding. Soon two more men join them in the tent, one in purple, the other in blue, both wearing smiling masks. They continued to explain other things to Nix, how they made a spot in the world for themselves where they never have to go hungry, how they were happy to bring her along, and many other things.

~ ~ ~ ~

And that's how Nix became part of the circus. I have other things for her, such as her interactions and thoughts on the canon cast. Her knowledge of Columbina. Her thoughts on M/C and the different routes. And a bunch of other stuff!

Hopefully I will get a picture of her out soon!
