I FINALLY did the Undertale Meme! Now that I finally actually watched a playthrough of it! XD Honestly this could have worked for both Drac or Ericka but I wanted to use her. For one, it's kind of a fun reverse of the original meme with Ericka going from jaded to happy. Plus...Drac doesn't show up in mirrors. XD So I made the 2nd a selfie.

During my series I’m doing I put some oc kids from my favorite tumblr oc and fanfiction.

As know Dennis was made by Sony

Martha second child of Mavis and Johnny, I thought it was a good idea for Dennis would have a sister.

Melany and Adrian were from a formally fanfic from Gotham317 but I made Adrian into a kid instead of a baby.

Lucy and Simon you know from @rosetyler42, I’ve been a huge fan of her art work since they were made, so I put them in this little family.

And finally, little Arabella, she was supposed to be made by @drericka but she been delayed for a long time so I decided to draw on the idea they had in mind.

Please enjoy and no bad comments.

[rosetyler42]

1. For Simon, the main question that lead to him was "What if Dracula had a more human-like son after the events of HT2 with Dennis?" Though it didn't really come together until I thought of basing him on Normie!Pubert. For Lucy it was a mix of "What if there was a female dhampir with vampire powers?" "What if I made a little terror like Dennis was advertised as?" "What if I made a kid more based on Dracula and Mavis?" Etc.

2. Both Simon and Lucy are ship children, so they're heavily based on Dracula and Ericka. Though Dennis, Johnny, Mavis also play a big role in the inspiration.

3. Lucy comes from the Dracula book itself: Lucy Westenra, the first turned Vampire we see. (It was either that or Mina.) Simon came from an old version of Johnny (and possibly a precursor to Ericka) Simon Van Helsing. His name also means harkening, a joke on the Harkers and the fact Drac needs to listen more.

4. Probably the whole message of discrimination and it's effects. The message of different kinds of people coming together, love overcoming hate. That kind of thing.

5. Much like Normie!Pubert and his mom, Simon has blonde curly hair. Lucy I wanted to fo with a more Dracula-like do since alot of people complained about Dennis being a redhead or wished he was goth. However, I didn't want it to look too much like Mavis', so I made it brown (blonde + black) and wavy (curly + straight.) It still looks alot like Mavis' in sketch form. Biggest difference is she's got Ericka's side part.

6. Both are blue because Dracula and Ericka both have blue eyes. The biggest significance is, Lucy has her father's bright sapphire eyes as a foreshadowing of her vampiric nature, while Simon has Ericka's blue-gray/Cobalt eyes. That said, he does also have Drac's dark circles to give him a bit of creepiness and make who the monster's going to be a little harder to tell.

7. Both are tall as bleep because Dracula and Ericka are clearly breeding for tall. Lucy is 6' 2" (similar to my father) and Simon is 6' 3-4" (similar to my brother.)

8. Lucy is kind of the one similar to me in personality: Loud, weird and proud, a smart alec. Simon's a bit more like my brother in he's more cautious, timid and shy. Though I did kind of give him some of my experiences with internalized fatphobia.

9. Lucy definitely is similar to me. I didn't PLAN it that way, it just happened in giving her a mix of Ericka and Johnny's personality, but we are quite similar. Simon's more similar to my brother but I suppose he has more of my shy awkward side.

10. I actually didn't make love interest's for them. Lucy and @lovelylivelyv 's Jack Nephalem kind of became friends or a QPR after I put them together one day and had them interact. I DID kind of use Jack as inspiration when making the twins though, especially Lucy, since I was going in a similarly monstery Addamsian direction and Lucy ended up going a different direction than her parents. Simon kind of ended up possibly pared with @speedygivermusic 's Stacy due to both being large and them kind of having a Dennis and Winnie dynamic.

11.I knew I wanted one Bi and one Ace, but it took a while to decide who was who with the non-human aspect and personality. Simon is Bi, Lucy is ace. Basically All or nothing siblings.

12. Making sure they were distinct from family members and just getting their rather cartoony designs right. Simon especially with that coffin head but Lucy's hair also posed problems.

13. Lucy and Simon are born and concieved in 2023, about a year after the events of Transformania. However I've done bits about them from baby-hood all the way to adolescence and adulthood.

14. For Lucy:

• Looks like she could kill you, actually a cinnamon roll/sinnamon roll

• She's a prankster who loves scaring, but she's not mean or evil. Very much about "Confuse, don't abuse" unless someone provokes her somehow. Or like The Addams where they're just having fun and don't realize they're scaring other people or being offputting.

Simon:

• Looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you. Very "Beware the quiet ones."

• Despite him feeling like the odd one out and kind of a disappointment, his family genuinely does love him. They may clash and get on each other's nerves sometimes, they're not perfect by any means. But they love him and he loves them.

15. Both Lucy and Simon can be quite funny. Lucy is a cartoony and Addams-esque little terror and prankster while Simon has more of his father's dry and biting snark and his mom's smart-aleckiness. He gets sass on both sides.

16. Probably the intergenerational trauma and Simon's struggles feeling enough while Lucy is kind of the spare and the "black sheep" since she's the 3rd kid with vampire powers, the 2nd girl, and came after the more "golden child" Mavis ontop of being Dracula's daughter. That said, Simon's is kind of the most heartbreaking with him feeling like the odd man out and a bit like he doesn't measure up to being the son of two legends.

17. While I don't regret adding them, I do sometimes wonder if I'm handling the fatness/being plus-size and jewishness/mixed identity right. There's been some jokes from Lucy I've wondered if they were in bad taste particularly. They do deal with monstery antisemitic tropes but are meant in a kind of Mel Brooks tongue firmly in cheek satirical kind of way rather than promoting it. It's meant to poke fun at those tropes, not endorse them. Very similar to the kinds of jokes I think Genndy himself would do.

18. For Lucy: Probably either her love of Marigolds or theatrical makeup and costuming, Or the fact both her and Simon can both hear and speak backwards.

For Simon: Probably his love of Kung Fu Panda and Encanto (He relates to Po, Viper, and Mirabel.) Or his David Cross adult voice claim.

19. Simon has a strong love of piracy and HATES the dumbing down of it for kids: that quote from Jake and the Neverland Pirates is like his version of "A monster always shares." It never ceases to get a rise out of him. For Lucy: Honestly it's how she doesn't fit the stereotype of a vampire while still loving monstery things. She absolutely ADORES goth creepy stuff but she's loud, rebellious, punky, a cheerful ball of chaos, totally ace despite being willing to cute charm or seduce others into things con artist style and actually HATES how vampires - especially girls, are all portrayed as seductive temptresses, her Addamsian love of scaring but not being mean or malicious about it...she's her own person without fitting into any of the stereotypes put on her and I love that.

Questions About Creating Your OCs

‘Cause sometimes the stories of how OCs come to be are just as interesting as the OCs, themselves. Tell me how your virtual kids came into the world.

What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)? 

Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind? 

How did you choose their name? 

In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts? 

Is there any significance behind their hair color? 

Is there any significance behind their eye color? 

Is there any significance behind their height? 

What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story? 

Are they based off of you, in some way? 

If they have an LI, how much of their character is tailored to be compatible to that person? 

Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation? 

What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)? 

How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all? 

If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be? 

What is something about your OC can make you laugh? 

What is something about your OC can make you cry? 

Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story? 

What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC? 

What is your favorite fact about your OC?

Finally, another OC hangout drawing, this time with @candyheartedchy's TGAMM Scratch/Todd selfship fankid OCs with my Drericka (Dracula and Ericka from Hotel Transylvania) fankids since they're kinda similar. The kids' names are Della (girl) and Casper (boy)

@candyheartedchy Let me know if I need to take this down and I will since I know you did a redesign.

[rosetyler42]

Been wanting to draw this one for a while. I both love the idea of the Van Dracula and the Pines twins being pals since they're kind of a similar dynamic and both Fraternal twins AND Mabel getting Lucy into the whole "Alpha twin" thing (since they're the older and more "Cool" ones) while Dipper and Simon are over it. (Bonus Simon bringing up that wolf study is fake.)

I call this one "What happens when I read both 'Lost Legends' and Hotel Transylvania Comics right after eachother. XD" I was reading "Kakieland Katastrophe" after reading Lost Legends and that made me think of the Pines family protecting the Drac Fam from an angry mob for some reason. I ended up adding Soos, Wendy, and Paz too.

[rosetyler42]

Someone called back to the old challenge of drawing or posting pictures of various characters eyes, so I decided to do a little experiment with the Drac Fam drawing just their eyes and noses.

@lovelylivelyv @deathfangirl9 @heartsong1994 @hotelt-resurrection @black-ak9 @speedygivermusic

[rosetyler42]

In Lucy and Simon's case, whether they're alive or not is debatable. XD Being dhampirs, they're kinda between undead and fully living. Lucy in particular, since she's a vampiric dhampir while Simon's a humany one. they're both rather durable and not easy to kill due to powers, fight training and/or use of weapons. Simon's also got his father's cautiousness and his mom's practicality, while Lucy...well, she IS half vampire, plus she has her brother around to be the brain cell. XD

why is your oc still alive? 

[rosetyler42]

I was supposed to just reblog Dracucipher for Shovel Day, but my brain gave me these hypothetical Bill possession visuals I had to get out of my system.

I doubt these will be canon since none of these seem particularly in character (maybe if Bill managed to use their familial loyalty against them, but still...) they were just fun "What-Ifs."

Particularly proud of @lovelylivelyv 's Jack-O-Cipher. The Lux inspiration really came out good. Though Ericka and Simon look awesome too.

Ok, I know this is not seasonally appropriate at all, but I found this animation by @gin-juice-tonic to "Monster Holiday" by Buck Owen's and...I couldn't get this crossover party out of my head so I had to draw it. XD

[rosetyler42]

Wanted to do something of an updated Drac Pack Family photo now we got 3 new members. XD This was hard to fit everyone into but it came out good!

@lovelylivelyv @heartsong1994 @deathfangirl9 @hotelt-resurrection @oneocean890 @black-ak9 @ssleeping-in-a-coffin (since you've been asking monster mashup questions. I'd like some, BTW! If you can.)

[fiotrethewey]

Willem Dafoe is legit my favourite Van Helsing (yes yes, I know he’s not *playing* Van Helsing.)

Same goes for Simon McBurney’s Herr Knock being my favourite Renfield.

Nosferatu was just so good. I wish we had a Movie Dracula adaption that good (and we can finally have Quincey)
