i will probably never Finish these sketches, but here- have a morganite

(aka: TECHNICALLY a version of “canon” mentioned morganite, but not the art book design.)

The blorbo meme for your own OCs? (ones for specific fandom worlds or otherwise)

Ojhfhsdbhjg I will gladly!

(Note: There are a mixture of Steven Universe and Breath of the Wild OCs in here. I'll add photos after OC mentions so y'all have an idea of who I'm talking about. Most of these will be WIPs/sketches. Tbh some I've probably barely talked about on this blog, but let's go XD)

“Blorbo” Character Ask Meme

____ My blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most):

At the moment? Aryll Haywood, my version of Link's sister. Of all my OCs, she invades my thoughts the most, and is- quite honestly- probably the most fleshed out of all of the characters I've ever created. I think it helps that the very essence of her setting gave her an obvious life conflict to bounce off of... aka the loss of her entire town and family to the Calamity. There's a lot of juice to play with there, in imagining how an 11 year old girl would try (and fail) to cope with that. I can't wait to eventually share her full story- just a few days ago, I started officially writing the prologue for that long fic of mine!

My scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped):

ASDshgjhdg is it a crime to ALSO say Aryll for this one? I would very much love to pick her up in my arms and swing her around like a parent with a tineee precious baby ;w;;;;;;;

Not really sure I have any other OCs who would count as "baby," a lot of the others are downright snarky motherfuckers, lmao.

My scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave):

I've grown quite attached to Arwel Haywood (Link and Aryll's father) while writing a bit of fic from his POV, (A FIC I STILL NEED TO FINISH, auUGHHHH! ! !!!!), and feel I don't think about him as much as I should. I need to flesh out his personality a bit more. So far, though... I am big uWU at the thought of him just,,, really, really loving his kids. I think he does have the tendency to push Link too hard too young with their training, and perhaps spends time with his son just a tad more than his daughter due to their shared interest in swordplay, but oh god does he do his genuine best with them, and I am HUGE a aAAA

(Not my art, but a preliminary Hero Forge model I did of him)

My glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week):

Taafeite, a fusion of my OC Jean Maverick and Steven Universe. They don't show up in their world very often- thus "obscure fave-" but when they do, it's sure to be quite a show. They're a big personality and very much enjoy being in the spotlight. Please don't underestimate their weapon. It may look like a glorified pizza cutter staff, but that bitch is fucking sharp.

My poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave):

Hmm. I don't think any of my SU or BotW OCs fit this category. The only OC I have that even remotely fits is... a VERY old pull... Aster, a Gravity Falls multiverse OC I had at one point but never did anything concrete with. Aster... was the one who was a mercenary working for Bill, charged with hunting Ford down during those 30 years he was lost in the multiverse. They... definitely kill, and definitely do MANY morally wrong things, but there's a depressing backstory to be told, and they eventually do experience Character Development™ and become a less Problematic person, ahahah.

(this art is old as Balls, i'm so sorry)

My horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason):

Jean Maverick. I, uh... outright amputate one of their legs in end-game content that I will probably never write out in full, so saying this is not a spoiler. I put them through so much bullshit, lmao. Trauma... self-loathing... I yeet them into the Gem war at one point... more trauma... meeting their mother WHILE experiencing trauma... homoerotic encounters with foes... oh yeah, they've got it all, shshgdhkkl

My eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell):

jhhjsbdgj absolutely Morganite. Aka Jean's nemesis. Aka a gay ass motherfucker who was so lovesick for the concept of a romance that had long died in the war that she tried touching the sun and got burned. I kinda gave her a really depressing backstory, but she commits war crimes and is GemRacist™ though, which is why she's going to superhell. Byeee!

[novantinuum]

wrote a sad, gay little backstory for my Jean storyline antagonist today! !!!

So basically my antagonist Morganite had a lover, Tourmaline. Tourmaline was another Homeworld elite back during Era 1, however… she ended up defecting to join the Crystal Gems during the war. The two loved each other immensely, but amidst the war they continuously were having idealogical debates that started to wrench them apart. Morganite still believed the Diamond Authority was in the right, that Gem society is perfect how it is, and Tourmaline refused to blind herself to the reality of the mistreatment and prejudice occurring amongst Gems of quote-on-quote “lower castes” anymore. Both stubbornly believed they could change the other’s mind, though. But this future never came to pass.

From Morganite’s perspective, Tourmaline went off on a mission for the Crystal Gems and never returned, almost definitely was shattered. Her hatred for the CGs boils over- believing foolishly that these rebels poisoned her lover against her- and she vowed to get her revenge upon them however possible. This revenge couldn’t be sought for thousands of years.

For years she assumed the CGs were destroyed in the war’s end, in the corruption blast. But when the shift to Era 3 occurred, she realized many of them were still alive… and allied with other Era 1/2 sympathizers and began setting a plan in motion.

Her ultimate goal was to alter the flow of history to bring her Tourmaline back to her, and to destroy the Crystal Gems once and for all. She succeeds in the first goal, but not the second. However… the irony and complexity of time travel means that… Tourmaline was never shattered to begin with. She only “disappeared” because a future Morganite planned a mission to “rescue” her and bring her to her side. Morganite spent all those years mourning and hating the Crystal Gems for the wrong reasons for nothing. And when she finally sees her Tourmaline again… Tourmaline is disturbed by what her former lover has done, and wants nothing more to do with her.
