updated their lore a little since last year when they were. made: hansel (left) and konstance (right) still died in a land dispute way back when but the land they died on became a lumber. farm or whatever its called way way after they died and like. haunted wood now. and since theyre made of wood (haunted wood that oswald used) theyre stuck as toy soldiers (thumbsup

Schrodinger’s OC

8bitnaga

Elaborate

yourocdoeswhat

Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain, so everyone is free to make their own version of Sherlock Holmes as much as they want.

Therefore it’s Schrodinger’s OC because it’s both Arthur Conan Doyle’s original character, but also your original character at the same time if you make your own take on Sherlock Holmes. The OC is both yours and not yours at the same time.

This also applies to:

Pretty much anything made by Shakespeare

Anything in Greek mythology (Specifically the Odyssey and The Illiad come to mind)

Pride and Prejudice

Dracula

Jekyl and Hyde

The three musketeers

Anything else in the public domain but these examples are the ones I’ve seen original characters made from.

You make an original take with an original cast for any of these? Totally legal, and an example of Shrodinger’s OC.

#hm. Noted.......#very noted

What trait or action makes your OC think someone is a bad person the fastest?

#this occurred to me while talking to one of my friends abt Katie but probably the like #Rack of guns inside of her war bunker house #and the closet full of (stolen) shit #but umm

yourocdoeswhat

So you're just gonna screenshot my post to put on twitter to put on another twitter to put on my discord. Well I'm putting it back on tumblr take THAT twitter.

#absolutely fuckd up pathetic guy who will never fix his problems alone #either that or like a very healthy couple.

i love when ppl ask writers questions about their ocs and they're like "uhh i think so?" as if they didn't invent them. like they're just mild acquaintances we have

#I have to have enough focus to ask my ocs about things sometimes /j #Im unsure about some things only because I haven't come up with what outcome would be the worst for him.
