#OC: Chickadee

[beigetiger]

Slasher AU with whoever you want?

This is the context

I did my Skykids for this one because I thought it fit!

Possibly the fastest I've ever made seven whole designs

Some yapping below because I had so much fun with this lmao

Sparrow and Dee already fitted the jock and popular girl vibes because I'd already made their characters like that, so that choice was easy (although the order of their death is the inverse of the canon storyline)

Cadro would also 100% be in a slasher and that boy is too stoner-y to EVER survive

Oz would be that guy that the audience is rooting for but who dies anyway. He's usually a pretty confident person but I made him scared here because it matches with what he's feeling around his canon death

Shiela, another easy choice. I already fitted her with all the same traits that typical final girls have

I had a few characters who I thought would fit the expositioner role, but Mirai made the most sense because in canon she's the future version of Natalie and Shiela interacts with her...once? I think.

And lastly. I had to think long and hard about which of my characters would fit the slasher role (and I had a funny backup planned in case there were none, so I really believe this fits).

Mykell and Arturo would both kill people, but both are too noble and up-their-own-asses about it to do it like this. Kylo and Morgan would also probably kill someone if they got the opportunity, but both are arsonists and in a more modern setting they'd probably default to firearms.

Ray, though. He's antisocial and hates most people, with an emphasis on the four characters who I listed to die. The runoff of Natalie's spirit-interacting power that goes to him makes him see flashbacks to the soldiers fighting each other, fighting krill, and so on when in the golden wasteland. This eventually makes him idolize the soldiers and want to be one of them, since he believes he's going to die anyway (at least, canon Ray does). He eventually lives to become an Elder though, and that makes him a lot bigger than a normal person.

And Mirai being the expositioner about him makes sense because in the canon storyline, she's the future version of Natalie, who is being raised by Ray. She knows him really well, she'd definitely be able to expose that information to the past versions of these people if she so desired (and if Resh let her, cough cough). Ray is the only Skykid I have who I fully, honestly believe would become a slasher. Nobody give that boy a machete.

He also has a soft spot for...almost solely Shiela, which is why it makes sense that AU Shiela would be the one person to escape him.

Sorry for yapping so hard I spent like six hours drawing this and was having Big Thoughts during it

HERE BEFORE - A warrior cats oc pmv

please enjoy! i worked hard on this and im really happy with it :] maybe one day when im insane enough to animate ill remake this and animate it

(story under the cut)

Bramblebreeze was born to a Riverclan warrior, Sprucestep, and a barncat, Chickadee. shortly after his birth he was taken to Riverclan by Sprucestep. Bramblebreeze always lived in his father's shadow, and his pride and need to be liked made him cling onto the earth, even after death.

Braircloud, a Riverclan warrior and only other kit to Chickadee (from a different litter) gives birth to a litter of her own: Brambleramble and Honeypaws. Brambleramble feels cursed almost, for her whole life she'd had a shadow that isn't hers. Her reflection that is not her own stalks her, waiting for the day he can return to the living world to live the life he always wanted.

Today was a little slow, so to pass the time between bouts of activity I decided to doodle a bunch of my own characters to the same prompt- how they would react if they were told they'd made a minor, but potentially embarrassing mistake. It was fun to mess around with their different personalities.

[numberonetribble]

Just for funsies, what would Piston's holoform look like if they had one? A crop top! Big boots! Cybertronian writing on that wedding ring! Chicken ita bag! Hey who are those pins. Weird tattoos! They like being green! They make so much ding-dang noise when they walk! Bee would prefer if they never left the house!

Don't start drawing elf ears, you can't go back!

I just realized I don’t know if I’ve ever talked about my idea for twins in Sky on here? Or if I have it was probably mixed in with a bunch of other stuff. But it’s pretty important to the story, so I’ll explain it better here.

Twins are when two Skykids fall from the same star and land together. Because they were created like that, they’re supposed to be raised together and spend their moth-hood together (and they’re supposed to continue to stay around each other even as they get older). The effects of not doing this means that the Skykids are weirdly socially developed, to put it in that way. Twins can also sense each other and can vaguely tell what the other one is feeling, but it’s so vague that it’s difficult to tell apart from their own emotions. Actually, twins who spend more of their time separated have a stronger connection to their twin’s emotions than ones who hang out more often.

The Valley Twins, as an obvious example, are twins. In my headcanon there are much more complicated reasons why they continue to stay together and basically function as two halves of one whole person (it has to do with Priestess Sahmek), but they still are twins and we’re born and raised together.

Talking about my own OCs now, Shiela and Leon are twins! They were born together but were separated at an extremely young age and were raised by different people (Shiela by Ray, Leon by a different group). This means that they’re both now…what would be considered weird. Both are very toxically positive and Leon really enjoys hanging out with light creatures more than other Skykids, especially crabs. He also willingly hangs out with Mykell on the regular, something that no other Skykid does. Shiela knows Mykell and has fun teasing them but isn’t particularly close with them, her most bizarre trait is that she wants to be a bird so, so desperately. She was transformed into one at the Aurora concert when she was a moth and that experience altered her permanently, and now she’d give anything to be a bird again and simply fly away.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Sparrow and Chickadee are twins too. But unlike Shiela and Leon, they were actually raised together and so are much more “normal”. They have pretty much zero innate grip on the other’s emotions and they’re lacking in quirks that make either of them really exceptional. They just go about their lives as normal. They also have Cadro, who has absolutely nothing to do with the twin thing. He’s just there.

*knocking on your door* Chickadee lore please? Chickadee lore?

okay!! uwu

I kind of carry on with RDR2's themes of the law not always equalling morality or inherently "good" character with Chickadee, and include that in her story. She's basically a character who was at the wrong place and the wrong time, gets trapped in some legal trouble, and is stuck and kinda demonized for it and ends up changed as a result.

I use her to kinda connect themes of like, intergenerational trauma: I make her the greatx4 granddaughter of my OC Storm-Woman (who, while is alive when colonization is taking place, hasn't personally encountered it or ever met a white person before, and so she's unaffected and is essentially living pre-colonially) and the greatx4 grandmother of another OC Regina (who lives in the future, and is a big influence and figure of healing from intergenerational trauma, she's a jingle dress dancer who's a scientist and a nurse). So Chickadee exists, unfortunately, as the point where that intergenerational trauma starts (not necessarily BECAUSE of her alone, but that generation) because of colonialism.

She's originally from Canada, illegally crosses the border, kills the racist Indian agent who catches her, and then ends up in jail in the U.S. After breaking out just like RDR2O sets up, she primarily hunts and sells the pelts for money trying to get back home and is stuck for a while. She becomes a cowboy!! it's no joke though. She also finds a posse who become her makeshift family, mostly made up of Latinos who teach her a bit of Spanish, plus a Chinese-American named Jin (who Chickadee calls Cin ᒋᐣ bc she has a hard time saying J's lol) she adopts as a sister. Eventually her biological sister comes and finds her in the U.S, and Chickadee sends some money with them, and then returns home a couple years later. In an alternate verse I have, she has a baby with Sean and brings the baby with her lol. By the time she tries to tell him they had a kid, he has died. Despite all that, she does eventually get a happy ending

also here's a playlist i made for her!

[elven-nightmares]

My fursona, Equinox! They're a Black-Capped Chickadee that loves synthwave and electronic music!

I played her in a one shot in March as an Aarakocra College of Anarchy Bard!
