OLEANDER STRANGE
My Gravity Falls oc guy kind of!!! copying these notes from my milanote board.... if it is disjointed and crazy its because it was all initally for my eyes only. ok bye
full name: Oleander "Ollie" Strange
pronouns: he/him
height: 5'7 (170cm)
personality
creative. looks at this guy he likes artttt
competitive, short-tempered, and self-centered because look how easy it is to mildly annoy this guy. he has opinions but he doesn't like to share because everything goes from 0-100 with him
that thing george the monkey was. "ts not that deep" YES IT IS deepest thinker in the world, but he can make connections. see patterns. jokes that he's "psychic" when it's just his pattern recognition or a really lucky coincidence
a daydreamer. not in the literal sense because he's not the greatest at visualisation but he is sooo out of it. keeps procrastinating and throwing away his life like he's ACTUALLY going to get a portal fantasy deus ex machina that will solve everything without any hard work
flip-flops between opposites. lives in ambiguity and ambivalence like dionysus in drama classss. both in a cool way where opposites are central to his character but also in the lame way where he can't decide anything and just goes with whatever.
BUT. yannow. he's dreadfully bored about everything and can't even decide what he wants to wear or buy from the mall. but he also has vehement opinions about specific things and then goes crazy hyper mode about things he ACTUALLy cares about.
IN CONCLUSION...
oh my god this guy cannot even IMAGINE not being watched. "just write without thinking of your reader... draw whatever you want don't think about viewers... dance like nobody is watching..." does this guy know life without a watching eye. he's like a company that is too afraid of saying anything controversial so everything they make turns out not relating to anyone at all and being so bland and impersonal that nobody even cared. something something trying to please everyone will please no one. tried to be everything so then he became nothing.
this is thematically relevant!!!i guess maybe it would be fun if he was a canon character with fanart?? Also his inaction will have consequences. his refusal to be involved or disagree and to keep his mouth shut and to close his eyes and cover his ears and go LALALALALALA when there are any real problems will haunt him btw. it will have consequences I will make sure of it. watch out ollie arent you worried about ford...
and alsoooo his um. OH HIS HASHTAG AMBIGUITY #AMBIVALENCE. i love my characters who are grossly aware of social hierarchy and have their carefully crafted god deed engineering to get them into heaven. i love characters who have always struggled with the social and instead decide to isolate themselves. he relates to both. somehow. he's a boring npc who has nothing interesting happening "BUT I'M ALSO THE MOST SPECIAL AND UNIQUE WEIRD PERSON EVER who is not like other girls!!!" his opposites. that's another driving character thing
hey his inaction. he cannot go into something without being told what to do or how to do it or what the parameters and rules are so that he has a guideline, as well as having examples to compare himself to so that he knows what you're expecting. but conversely, once he has all the information he gets scared away because knowing everything is a curse now apparently. no no once i get an opportunity for something that might improve his life he pushes it away because he's afraid fo commitment of change or what-have-you.
but how the HELL does he fit into gravity falls?
Well. let's be honest. this section will mostly be about him in context to ford. i haven't written everything yet ok
friendship
in college they are so friends with it but are also spinning so far away from each other's solar systems that genuinely it shocks me how they even manage to form a meaningful relationship. like hell even I cant even properly hang out with my friends during school hours irl.
BUT ENOUGH YAP. they make it through. there's a stupid something that draws them together, and then all of a sudden there are stars. they sit together with fiddleford in free moments and fuck around at bars after exams and ford can't even imagine a world in which he knows what it's like to be be doing... not science, but here's there to watch it all happen anyways. ollie begs him and fidds to come to his shows. ford offers study sessions with him "to keep each other accountable, despite differing spheres of study," and then ollie either goes fully silent and zones out the whole time or brings up something that sends them both spiraling into deep conversation. it's fine. this is fine. logically, ford knows he isn't here to make friends and this brings no benefit to his studies here. not-so-logically, ford doesn't think he can stop himself.
if ollie was a mystery and ford was a detective then baby they would have a neverending book series about solving it. if ford is science then ollie is magic, except the science man is so full of whimsy and wonder and magic man gives up when things are too hard and complains like he's getting paid for it. their foils... ollie sticks around with him because he's just grateful to have a friend he consistently hangs out with, and then two friends, and if he gets the adequate amount of social interaction from him to last him through his school life this will be fine. he's fine.
falling
if asked, ollie fell first and ford fell harder. the truth is, they have probably liked each other for longer than they have conciously known, because these two are maybe the worst to keep up with for a love story because neither of them are overly concious about their own feeling in that way. maybe they'd been falling for each other since even their first meeting. who the fuck knows. certainly not them.
ollie realises his feelings after a particularly gayly ambiguous moment that toed the line between friendship and romance. something really gay and tender like ford is soooo sleepy on movie night and he sleep on him. so cute. like a big teddy bear. and ollie is like wait a minute... and then spends the whole night awake reviewing every moment in an (ironically enough,) scientific and thoughtful way, which he STRUGGLES with actually because the main thing he needs is a baseline guide for what would constitute as "being in love" and he DOESN'T HAVE THAT.
ford pines, meanwhile, is apparently only capable of knowing what he has when he's about to lose it. because oleander's in his final year, which--look, even he can't get every single PhD that fast, okay? he's leaving. he's gonna go. and fidds is like, keep in contact, and ollie's like, duh! like i'm not forgetting about you two, and the countdown is ticking and. boy. oh boy. ford gets lightingstruck by gay zeus and has an absolute panic, because fuck-shit-fuck he wants this little jester in his castle forever. would that be crazy? to live with him, and love him, and kiss him sweetly and have stupid conversations forever?
the rest of it
YEAHHHH OK IM CRIGEEE EIM CRINGEEEEEE THIS IS CRINGEEEE. but i am free. anyways the gis tof the rest of it if predictable. oh no the portal!!! no oh ahhh!!! oh no 30 year seperatation!!!! oh yay reunion!!! ok look it's not written don yet ok.
HOW OLLIE WOULD DESCRIBE FORD
"God. I hate him and I want him to explode. ...KIDDING. I'M KIDDING. He's the love of my life. Sometimes it feels like he forgets we're dating sometimes and then I turn around and he's gone and got me flowers and whatever he found in the forest that day. He's so strange and withdrawn. He's so tunnel-visioned and dorky. I think I love him."
HOW FORD WOULD DESCRIBE OLLIE
"Oleander is... How should I say this? Confusing. When I first met him, I thought he was one thing, and then he ended up being another, and... he's an enigma. But an exciting one, one that I need. I think. He's lively and passionate and creative and strange, but... I've always been attracted to the strange. and the strange has always been attracted to me. So this definitely works out."
KIND OF UN-FINISHED COMIC I MADE FOR THE OLLIEFORD ANNIVERSARY LAST MONTH GHGHGHHGH....
very ooc but that is because i was having fun and doing what i wanted i guess. and also because this is the au where ford selfships and i am the characters and the whol plot of this one would be where the selfshipper versions get isekaied TOGETHER... and then have to save the 'chaarcter' versions fo themselves. i guess. man idk it was really self indulgent but i didnt want to draw allat
OH another thing i forgot to post... semi-comic thing where i try to put more ollieford lore concepts in drawing form. once again i'm never fully 100% solid on lore and am sure i'll never change it, but just consider this me playing and having fun again
birthday present for @mpregslover69bcs he wanted me to post it./,.,.,.., hapy birthday man. im glad you like present negan <3 and also the subway i guess. under the cut
Imagine your romantic f/o, when they were still unsure or in denial that they have a crush on you. One night they lay in bed and put their hand over their heart. They start thinking of you and felt their heartbeat race immediately. I guess they have their answer now
