This blog is meant to work as an introduction to the world and original characters from the book I'm writting that has yet to get an official name, Mariverse is what I've been calling the world setting in all of my time working on it, though this will change in the future.
Here in the tabs you'll find a list of the characters, some introductions to the world and setting. (Or you can use the search function to find something/someone specific if you know their name ^v^) For now that's it and I'll add more as it becomes relevant to other art and animations I post on my social media.
If you see a character or anything in particular in my art that you'd like a page to be added for feel free to let me know. (Youtube comments work the most effectively for this as I check them most often, but you can also put them in the ask box here ^v^)
Feel free to have a look around and thank you for taking an interest in my little doodles ❤

A short fic that was thought up while drawing this but never written down till now, enjoy <3

"No, no please! It'll be so funny!" Kim insists through her own giggles, handing her phone off to a slightly hesitant Iris before taking a few half jogging steps backward into the sand of the beach they're standing on.
"Are you sure? What if she takes it seriously?" She glances at the folded open phone case that's clearly been well loved. Screen already showing the camera app, all ready to go for Kim's shenanigans and endeavors. By the time she looks back up Kim is already halfway down into a comfortable sitting position not too far away from the lapping waves. 'Luckily the water is calm today' she thinks to herself, sighing internally at the thought of a different reality where the waves had soaked her friend all the way through and she'd have to go home in soaking wet clothes.
Knowing what Kim is like when she's made up her mind though she holds up the phone camera, trying to get the focus and exposure as good as she can. Her hobby of photographing and drawing plants coming in handy for her friends she supposes at the very least.
"Ready?" She calls out. "Ready!" is the answer called back as Kim makes a grimace before relaxing her face into a neutral melancholy, resting her head in her crossed arms over her knees, staring out into the waves. Looking at the scene Iris finds it to be really solemn despite the beautiful sunset on the horizon. Oh well... *Click*
-----: ✧ :-----
The night sky has long since fallen and Fideli finally slows down her movements across the many rooftops of the city she now lives in. Looking back the way she came it surely has to have been at least a few kilometers from where she started. Her breaths heavy as she takes the time to pull her sleeve up, looking at her watch.
'00:43... That's enough for one night' The conclusion settling as she sits down against the ledge of a roof, pulling out her bottle of water from her small bag. It's an interesting hobby she's picked up, she notes to herself. But being out here by herself feels freeing, like the rest of the world just disappears. The only thing to think of is the adrenaline rushing in your veins, the ground your feet rests upon and quickly finding the next best stable surface in your path. Any person in her social circle that has any sense of "normalcy" advised her from going alone. "At least bring someone with you to watch over you incase you fall or hurt yourself somehow."
The thought brings a twinge of a frown to her lips. She has common sense, she knows they're right... and yet she still couldn't bring herself to let go of the voluntary isolation that she doesn't get to keep that often.
The stars above are bright and welcoming, the many little points of light shimmering, some more brightly, some vaguely and others slightly blinking. The two moons in the sky like two friends. 'Someday I'll get to see the third from up here'
Knowing the time she's probably gotten a dozen notifications from her mom to come home by now. It's not a welcome reminder but she supposes, one that means she cares at least. Checking her phone with a sigh though, she finds at the top of her notifications a text from Kim. No message, just an image file that she can't preview without opening the messenger. A slight twinge in her brow, knowing Kim though it's likely nothing serious but still...
Opening it she finds... a meme. A hand crafted meme, and she can't help but sputter out a half held back laugh, conscious of the late time and the probability of people living under the roof she's sitting on. 'At least she's consistent' Kim's sitting on an empty beach under the late sunset, staring gloomily out to the sea with the caption above her "I miss my bbgirl :("
It's still a bit of an inside joke between them how they'll call each other sickly sweet nicknames that only hopelessly romantic lovers could come up with despite the fact they stopped dating months ago. It's all in good fun, Kim is dating other people by now and she herself hasn't had an interest in such relationships since but it still brings a silly smile to her face to know they can stay just as close despite not being romantic.
She knows the routine by now though, already thinking up the response before steeling herself to appear completely monotone. Taking a low effort selfie to write her message on. "Okay. I'm bringing lasagna for lunch, your portion too. See you tomorrow." She can't help but break out in a cough of a laugh after having ran for so long just before this as she thinks of Kim's expression once she sees the message. Pressing send before shaking her head in entertained disbelief at their shared silly antics as she puts her phone and water bottle back in her bag.
'Time to head home I suppose...' She thinks to herself, looking around to see where exactly she ended up, not having paid attention while rushing over the city. Ah, that house looks familiar. Just a couple blocks that way. Looking down over the edge of the building and taking a deep breath, she charges up a jump onto the next roof over, building up the speed to jump far further than she could without momentum. She'll be home within 15 minutes to make that lasagna.

Simply known as "The Lord of Winter" by all who know and worship his ancient ways. The eldest are sure that he once had a name known to others but it has long since been lost to spoken words.
Not the personification of winter but rather the caretaker of every being who has to harsh through the season. He whistles to the winter birds who don't migrate. He restocks food for creatures who hibernate. Guiding lost travelers and chasing away those with ill will.
If you find yourself lost, harmed or troubled in the snow of a wild area, pray for his presence quietly in your mind and he will come to see you. If you treat his presence and the beings of the wilds with respect he may offer you a moment of reprise at his campfire. A bowl of stew made from the gifts of the forest, fresh safe to eat berries and water with little pieces of naturally broken ice from a lake nearby. He does not speak and appreciates the quiet, thanking him with a smile or a nod of your head is plenty enough for him. Make your way home safely traveler.
Should you find yourself in his attention with bad intentions though, whether it be towards the creatures of the wilds, the plants trees or nature... You shall find yourself trapped in endless snowstorms with hail and icicles sharp as broken glass. He does not need to see bad deeds done nor hear spoken lies, he WILL know regardless. And he holds no mercy for those who does not respect other life forms.
Kiera, Rhyme and Keith baking a lime and lemon cake for Kiera's birthday
-: ✧ Headcanons/Retelling of the occurrence below the cut ✧ :-
Kiera had decided before her birthday that she didn't want to buy a cake before hand, despite her still evolving baking skills she really wanted to make it a fun occasion! Baking the cake together with her brother and girlfriend, that could only make it all the more special regardless of how it turned out in the end.
Of course it had to be lime flavored since it's one of her favorites but since she couldn't decide on one flavor it ended up being half a lime cake and half a lemon cake.
Keith knowing he's no use in a kitchen of any kind (Kiera usually does the cooking and otherwise he'll buy takeout) refuses to help out with anything too complicated but takes up the role of reading the instructions to a T and making sure that they don't accidentaly mess up or do things before reading through the whole thing. (That was absolutely a necessary step as Kiera was about to crack all of the eggs into a bowl normally, not realizing the yolk and whites were to be separated.)
Things move on smoothly and Rhyme arrives as they're preparing the wet ingredients bowl, the dry one to the side for the moment. She's not too versed in baking herself but is happy to try her best and Kiera knowing of her perfectionism has no worries about her contribution. She's in charge of the frosting and, surprised to be of some help in this; chirps up that she'd actually helped her mom make frosting from scratch as a kid and so knows this part well. Kiera gives her a grin and a side hug "You got this then Babe!" She shyly nods back before rolling up her sleeves and beginning to look for the appropriate cupboards.
Keith nods along and supervises, only really saying something when the next step comes along or if he notices something of concern in their progress... He's happy to see his sister so happy with her lover though. He's not gotten to meet them together much before and her girlfriend seems very shy, maybe even a bit afraid of him. He understands he can be intimidating and is just happy to finally get to see them interact together. As long as she makes his siter happy, that's all that matters to him.
A few mishaps and successes later a finished cake sits in front of them. It's not perfect by any means, the frosting on top is a bit wobbly in places and not evenly applied. The cut cake base wasn't a straight line so the top layer is thicker on one side. But it's their cake that they made with their own hands and effort. Sitting down together to eat it after Kiera's blown out a few small candles they put in it, she finds it tastes delicious. And looking up at the two people she loves at the table with her, she can't help but think that this is indeed a very happy birthday. ♡
A person of many faces. Playing many roles to those who know her, a mischievous youth, a friend, a lover, a person of convenience, a super hero. They don’t put much weight behind most of these roles she plays as she considers them all to be a genuine part of herself. Though she does tend to treat many of her relationships in life with some flippancy as her people’s lifespans last way longer than most humans and as such she tries not to get too attached to her human acquaintances. The only exception being Juli… That particular relationship ended up a bit closer than she intended, but she’s too attached now to let herself let go.
They particularly enjoy playing the role of prince charming, hence why she started using her powers to assist humans in their troublesome matters. Wanting to see the flustered look of the people they help as she offers them a rose and a deep princely bow. Wishing them a good rest of their evening before she quickly flits away into the shadows. If you’re lucky enough that they take an interest in you though after helping you out, she might just give you her number to call when you’re feeling lonely next. (For whichever reason you find most convenient.)
Happy Halloween from my demon OC's who have all committed plenty of mischief during spooky month. May you all have a night full of fun mixed with a healthy level of spooks, stay safe ♡
A bunch of my queer OCs celebrating Pride Month! ♡
This is super duper late but I still wanted to post it. I started this back in June for Pride Month but as it features so many characters it took me quite a while to finish, but as someone in my stream chat said "Pride is a month, but gay is forever"
For context as well, this is not every queer OC that I have. This is just a couple handfuls of them that you are most likely to run into in more of my posted art.
Someone who is rarely seen. She's distant and mostly cold even towards people who are often in her company. She has a lot of internal turmoil and often struggles to understand her own emotions and experiences.
The few people who know them are mostly through her work where she is in a higher up position, the mysterious boss that you don't want to get the attention of cause if you do, you know you're in for a bad time.
One of the few other relationships they've had is one that occurred on accident, someone found her interesting but because of various reasons and circumstances it didn't end of good terms. They've written off the notion of having emotional relationships of any kind ever since.
