#i should. ocpost sometime

[reddfishket]

yknow what's funny. touch tone telephone by lemon demon shaped an entire oc for me

[okultraoldmanyaoi]

should i start ocposting… i miss them sometimes

[jupiter-reimagined]

i was OCposting in the askbox of someone so. this is a compilation of all that, since it basically gives the rundown of their whole deal and maybe some new ideas scattered into it as well. so. long post ahead.

ASK 1:

theres elias (he/she/they); dominic (he/him); marcus (he/him); elizabeth (she/her); andrew (he/him) and amelia (she/her)

theres 2 seperate families within this: the jamesons, which includes elias as the son and andrew+amelia as his parents, and the DeAngelo's which is the 3 others, but theyre siblings instead

the only 2 with personalities right now are dominic and elias, who are also in a situationship with eachother, and will probably remain that way for the rest of time

story's basically just "what if the disgraced son of rich parents who happens to be an owner of a bar/club (elias) meets the guy who mans a stand at a farmers market (dominic). and what if they were both t4t. and what if they ended up being workplace lovers/friends w benefits"

elias is lowkey a very unlikeable and bitter guy, very self centered and speaks without thinking. dominic's the reserved type who only speaks when spoken to, but very willing to resort to violence when needed.

[person replies with a statement that he'd like to hear more]

ASK 2:

so this post will be about the onyx magpie crew, aka dominic, elias, and their families, but the families are just implied and there for plot reasons

also for context: the onyx magpie is the name of the bar elias owns. and sometimes elias IS a magpie so. yeah.

around a month ago i wrote 2 paragraphs leading up to the first meeting from each others pov. this was still when it was all brainstormy but the ideas are all there. i hope. enjoy? i have no clue how much or how little this actually makes sense w/o prior context

elias has rich parents. maybe his father's a politician and his mother's a ceo of sorts for. something. this man is an only child and i want it to show. growing up in a big house, alone, while his parents are often away for work. so hes also very independent. and somehow it doesnt hurt as much as it shouldve when they look at him in disgust later on in life. he was alone growing up. if they didnt care for him, why should he care for their opinions of him? ... maybe.. maybe he stops coming home for the holidays. maybe they dont know his name. maybe they dont recognize him when he passes them on the street.. but... maybe he does. and maybe it finally stings. just a little bit too much. and.. maybe he should grab a drink. his bar is just around the corner anyways. or hell, even man the bar counter. to get his mind off things.

as for dominic... i know i want him to have a brother and a sister. probably the middle child between the 3. older brother, younger sister. not many ideas about his parents as of yet. probably alive though. maybe they all grew up farmers. he knows his agriculture, maybe favors the cattle, wanting to give them a good life before they get sent to the slaughterhouse. maybe goes into the city once a week to man a stand in the farmers market. meats, crops, milk, eggs. the like. maybe gains a few friends with the regulars there, or the other shopkeepers. maybe starts going into the city more because of said friends. maybe they convince him to go out and celebrate one day. maybe he hit a T milestone. 5, 10 years? maybe more, maybe less, but still a reason to celebrate. and hey, has he ever been to that bar? maybe they tell him that sometimes, if his lucky stars align, the boss of the place could be the bartender. maybe they joke that if they tell him of the big day, he'd get a free drink or two. the place is just down the street, his friends know the way. they deserve a treat.

in short: elias has a dogshit gender dysphoria day and is about to be the bartender for dominic whos out there just sorta chilling and living the dream and just wants to get drunk with his buddies

and later on as the plot progresses, dominic gets a job at said bar as a bouncer. so thats how they become workplace boyfriends lmao

[person responds to ask with "The angst with Elias. Poor baby. But at least he'll eventually be happy with Dominic."]

ASK 3:

"But at least he'll eventually be happy with Dominic." you'd think that wouldnt you.. sure, elias would be living the dream with his trophy husband, but he isnt capable of being a loving husband himself. something something never seeing how TO be a loving figure in either of his parents. something something walls so high it would take a lifetime to bulldoze them down. something something it not even being worth it in the end. yeah. elias isnt a good person, but hes sure as hell fun to spin around in my brain <3

the relationship between them is complicated at best and a miserable maze to navigate at worst. sure its not abusive, but i struggle to say its healthy </3 in a different au it is. but thats just an au sooo...

[person replies with "You wanted to hurt me with this ask, I know you did. (/hj) And you succeeded. what do you mean “it not even being worth it in the end”??? my heart? officially hurt at the thought of Dominic & Elias not being happy together"]

ASK 4:

i like to think that elias is far too self centered to even WANT to change. he is so deeply bitter and hurt by his parents that he doesnt understand, *cant* understand that someone would want to genuinely help him.

he thinks dominic befriended him for the easy job that pays well, that he just likes the sex, that hes pretending to do all this for some free drinks.

he doesnt understand true love and he spits on the mere idea of it. if true unconditional love was real, his parents wouldnt have kicked him out, he wouldnt have grown up to constant screaming and crushing loneliness. he just doesnt understand and full on refuses help. refuses any much-needed therapy. who needs that when hes got a pack of cigarettes in his purse and cheap wine on hand

hes just a cranky little guy in the main story. its kinda funny how in the other aus hes completely fine, simply because his parents were slightly different. like hes living his best life in the royalty au simply because the circumstances are slightly altered lol

also idk if i mentioned this anywhere so nows as good as time as any: elias dresses like a y2k girlie. all neons and miniskirts and makeup and dominic looks like hes a father of 4 on a roadtrip. but they primarily wear the colour of each others eyes. but they dont know that. "just feels right"

idk im still very much so throwing ideas at the wall and seeing what sticks, such is the joy of OCs

yeah i had fun rambling on about this, felt right to save this convo on main :3

🌸🏵️💤!!!

🌸 Name one thing (activity, interest, fandom, &c) you really love.

There are sooo many things I really love its so hard to answer this question, I love a3 of course, and everyone knows I loooove my ocs, and I love flowers and plushies and stars and drawing, and I love a lot of shows too, mostly animation because I love how expressive it is and I love the artform, and ones that I've been particularly into recently are of course Utena, Fullemtal Alchemist, Zombieland Saga, Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song, Re:Zero, Kaguya-Sama, Little Witch Academia, MP100, I even rewatched K-On recently only to find out it's still cute and I still love it. I love lots of different aspects about all of these things, maybe not everything about all of them, but in general... There's lots of stuff I get excited about. I got sooo carried away here

🏵️ Is there anything you stopped doing that you want to start doing again?

Regular ocposting... I feel like I've been doing a lot less of it lately but i still love my ocs!!! i should do an oc ask game sometime actually

💤 What's the weirdest place you've ever fallen asleep in/at?

I find it pretty hard to fall asleep, I don't think I've ever slept anywhere I wasn't meant to sleep (Aside from when I was a baby maybe). Though actually I do remember once time my parents dragged me to this huge party thing on a mountain and I was a little kid and tired and wanted to go home, but they didn't wanna leave yet so I left the area of the mountain with the party, found our car, and just took a nap in it. This was pretty safe where we were btw so no one panicked
