2, 3, 5 for any of your ocs, and also 16?

Putting under a cut since it got a bit long, lol.

Answering for both Merry and Kittie!

2. What's your oc's orientation? (Romantic/sexual/platonic alterous ect) Do they have opinions about it?

Merry is a polyamorous bisexual! They only recently learned they're poly, and they still haven't explored that part of themself that much just out of general nervousness (and also being busy all the time)

Kittie is a polyamorous lesbian! She used to consider herself pansexual, but then figured out after a couple of dates that she wasn't really into men and more fell for women.

3. How did your oc discover themself? Did something cause them to question, or did they always know?

I don't really have an answer for Kittie yet, so I'll answer just for Merry.

Around Merry's teen years on the surface, they started to feel more and more uncomfortable with their father calling them "boy". Their brother at the time helped them to figure out what their discomfort was about, and Merry started to identify as a partially-closeted transgirl.

It was only after the death of their brother and their arrival in the neath that they questioned themself again. Their identity as a trans woman felt still uncomfortably attached to their brother, since he was the one to help them come to terms and helped them find a new name. As they started to learn more about people in London, they found others who used other pronouns than she or he, and people with identities they had never even considered or known about because of their strict upbringing. Eventually their exploration brought them to changing themself and finding a new identity in the neath. Opening themself up to new relationships and finding out they were bisexual, as well as changing their gender once more.

They found themself latching onto they/them pronouns, but they still could not bear to give up the name their brother gave them.

5. How did you figure out your oc's identity?

Merry's identity was pretty much there from the start, since I already knew I wanted them to be bisexual and nonbinary.

Kittie though, she changed over time as I figured out her character. She was a woman from the start of making her character, but it was a short while afterwards that I settled on making her a trans woman. Her sexuality took longer to figure out. I originally had her as pansexual and then that changed to lesbian and polyamorous near the end of the "name signed with a flourish" storyline (as well as through me figuring her out by rping her Friendcorp au version)

16. Did you ever change an oc's identity when they were already established? Why?

The addition of Merry being polyamorous was more fairly recent. I have friendcorp to thank for that! I went into that rp keeping them in the relationship they're in with a friend's oc in fallen london (luckily me and that friend already had a lobcorp au together, so it was easy to write it as that), but eventually their relationship with another character (Lychee/Lee) in friendcorp made me wonder if they'd be open to more partners. After talking with both my friends about their thoughts, we decided that Merry's current partner wouldn't mind, and we started working towards having Merry and Lee get in a relationship.

And then that increased more as Merry got closer to other characters as well.

And, of course I transferred their being polyamorous in that au to their original self (just writing it as Kittie introducing them to the concept and making them realize something about themself)

📓🌕🌍?

sorry for saying i'd get to these quickly and then just not doing that. i accidentally became the Kiss Chronicler. the Smooch Secretary. the Canoodle Curator. so that's been taking up a bit of my time

(this is a Long one so i've put them below the cut!)

📓: Do you associate any quotes or lyrics with this oc? this is actually something i'm not too great at? i don't listen to a massive variety of music and when i do i don't tend to pick up things for OCs

that being SAID i did literally have a whole thing the other day about how president heartbeat (by everything everything (my favourite band (i saw them a few months ago it was AMAZING (they played my two favourite songs of theirs which i've never heard live (this tangent is getting way too long so i'll stop now))))) and i was thinking about how well it works for briar in a lot of ways:

Do you live in the new world On the grave of the old world? With a coffin of sunlight That you carry upon your back?

And I wanna be useful And I wanna be hopeful What's the matter with hopeful? I just wanna get out of here

bonus pilgrim's dawn/mr bricks lyrics:

Were you born in a cave now? Do you live in a cage now? If you burst into flame now Will they call you a human being? And your spine is a glass spire And your flesh is the concrete And your blood is the sewer And your skin is the city wall

🌕: If this oc was an animal, what kind would they be? a red deer! but a weird tiny-bit-fucked-up red deer. i actually commissioned art of the behooved apologist from the-ashenstreaked-doctor a little bit ago:

and i went into why here! it also has a cool deer video if you're into that

🌍: What are this oc’s religious views? ooooohohoh, i'll use this as an excuse to talk about the church at burrow, since that reflects his beliefs quite well.

the apologist is a supporter of the great chain of being: the inherent superiority (even godliness) of beings further up the chain than humans. they're not beyond reproach, they're not faultless, but they do matter more than human beings. (whether One Judgement matters more than a billion humans is a question that still weighs on his mind, though)

regardless, he believes that the path to greater meaning in life is through community: to become part of an entity greater on the chain than yourself. that entity may be a grand devil and its church, for example, but it could also be a group of equals. being a valuable inhabitant of a city elevates you, in some way, to the level of a city. service to a star brings you, in that same way, closer in godliness to a star. ascendance through servitude.

the burrow church supports this ideology both by fostering its own community (it is the roots which hold pilgrim's dawn together) but also by encouraging worship of all higher beings, within the neath and without. it toils to complete the arduous work of a complete theology which captures every being it possibly can, while dressing the whole thing up in the trappings of more established religions.

ask game here!

[linkzac]

20. hmm, Banks by Lincoln maybe? It fits a lot of my blorbos and i guess the meaning changes relating to that.

21.Theres a lot, but some are Jenny by the Mountain Goats, Danny by Nicole Dollanganger, Caleb Trask by the Crane Wives, and Zephyrus by the Oh Hellos!

We made a zine!!!

A while ago, we decided to make a zine with poetry and fanart dedicated to the abime and its residents (we even got one of them to help - thanks Mal!). We had to make some adjustments in order to safely upload it to tumblr, but now we can finally share it here!

ur familiar with rain world right. ive got an important question here for u. what slugcats would merry and kittie main

Ooh good question. I don't know as much about how the gameplay feels and works for most of the downpour ones, but out of pure instinct... for Merry I think they'd like Survivor, Hunter, Spearmaster and maybeeeee Rivulet?

Kittie is so easy though. I know that she'd go for Artificer. She craves the violence-
