Vaughn Firth

Vaughn is abrasive, particular, and generally difficult to get along with. He values hard work above all else, or at least believes he does. Beneath an icy, perfectionist exterior is a young man who struggles to define himself outside of his father's expectations. He does not guess what life could be outside those bounds. He can occasionally be tolerant towards others, but it's generally easier to be argumentative and hostile. He loves to read and collect rare books.

(This guy has 2 last names. That's how you know he sucks. - 🪲)

Odessa Ashcroft

A rich girl from southern England, raised with one older brother in an extremely conservative home. She’s always been outgoing, if slightly off-putting as a child still clinging on to the bigotry of her family. She’s likely the poshest person you’ll ever meet and will forever be that way, yet as she grew, she became this brilliant beacon of acceptance, wit, and skill. She is fiercely protective of those closest to her, and at times self sacrificing to a fault. Odie or Dessa, as her friends have lovingly dubbed her, loves to learn, gossip, and defy the expectations placed upon her. She’s somewhat competitive and can be mean or cold, but for the most part tries to be friendly and helpful whenever she can.

Lennox Gore

Hailing from east London, Lenny grew up a broke only child who was very active in his community. He’s always gotten on well with the other boys in the neighbourhood, playing football and hide n’ seek, and all other types of childhood games. He’s passionate and funny, but unfortunately not the sharpest tool in the shed (must be because he’s blond). Lenny’s quick to make friends and enemies, and hails from a family of those with the ability to shapeshift, though the only one who actually knows how is his grandfather Irving. He’s groovy, he’s hip, and he quite likes the ladies.

Naoise O’Cuana

Naoise, oh, Naoise… In short, he’s an intelligent, self-reliant asshole with a heart of gold. He comes from a small village in west Ireland and a shapeshifting family! He can turn into a piebald raven, a magic he’s been building his skills in since childhood. He’s always been a bit of a jock, playing football, track, and his great love- broomstick racing. Naoise is intensely competitive (in both academics and athletics), stand-offish, and strangely very charming. He’s quick with a joke or a sly smile, but it’s not him. The real Naoise goes to bed at 8 every night and wakes up early to study, the real Naoise would to anything to protect his loved ones. Even with his preening, his high fashion sensibilities, and his judgement, there’s always that love for the people around him guiding him.

Donna Ryton

An emotional young woman that grew up in an unstable home. She holds on tight to those she loves, even if holding that tight hurts. Even if it's selfish to do so. Family is important to her, as are her studies. She loves to shop and get dressed up as much as any other girl. She just can't seem to keep a hold on everything at once.

[theworldofworms]

Herman Easte

A kind-hearted young man from a loving home. A little quiet, at times, but he does his best to make sure everyone gets along. Fear has a habit of getting the best of him. In class, he's often found doodling away rather than paying any attention to his lessons. He doesn't much care for sports, but he'll always show up for his friends if he can.

Maureen Cross

Mostly called ‘Mo’ by friends and family, she is the sole girl in a family of seven: her parents, three older brothers, and two younger twin brothers. She was always quite close with her mother and closest older brother, Robert. Despite the family not having much, working on one income for seven in inner-city London has never been easy, they have always loved each other immensely. Mo got very used to helping with her little brothers, or being made to do the chores of her older brothers. She’s been prepped for the life of a “proper” girl, that of servitude to men, but this is not and has never been the life she envisioned for herself. Maureen is bright, beautiful, feminine, and more than any of that dedicated to liberation for her and others. She’s big into the Beatles, and fashion, and all sorts of pop culture. Now I present to you my queen,

[theworldofworms]

Marnie Louve

The first victim on the chopping block is Marnie! A bright, energetic witch hailing from a coastal town in Scotland, she has the rare ability to shape-shift into a wolf— a gift passed down through the women in her family. Almost never without a smile, she’s fiercely loyal to her loved ones, both by blood and by choice. She enjoys gardening, football, running… just about anything active, in addition to spending time with her closest friends and writing to her older sister. Despite meaning well, over-enthusiasm and an unbreakable stubbornness can easily lead into trouble, especially when paired with the spirit of competition or a threat against her own. She’s also a raging lesbian so that’s good.

Welcome to the World of Worms!

This is a passion project that we have been working on continuously since July, 2024. It takes place in a world much like our own, but with a twist of magic and fantasy. Our story starts in a fictionalized 1960's, just 10 years after peace deals had been brokered. Eight unlikely friends form bonds in their first years of boarding school, which are then tested through the years by the tribulations of war, societal expectations, and magical consequences.

This world and its characters are co-written by the authors of this blog, Johnny and Tommy. Cool brothers and such. I’m John or Johnny (🦚)! I’m into poetry and like. literature and Star Wars and stuff! I like George Harrison, I’m in a band (sundayssins on instagram), and I got super into the 60s in summer of 2022, then it all kind of snowballed into my inspiration for these characters. They mean a lot to me considering I’ve spent a year and a half developing them and fleshing out who they are, building their lives up. I hope our work can be a reflection of the world and ourselves, and I hope it helps make you feel seen in some way. We’ve talked about creating this blog for forever and I’m really excited to share. Hi, I'm Thomas or Tommy (🪲). I'm a soon-to-be college graduate in environmental science (wow). I love my chud cat, nerd biology shit, Paul McCartney, and being weird and stupid. Art and writing are definitely lifelong passions of mine, especially creating things with my brother. Developing these characters has meant a lot to me over the past few years, so I'm very excited to share them with whoever's willing to follow along!
