I'm very quickly realizing why they didn't give the 141 a medic...

Ok I bit the bullet and made an Ososan OC and his full name is Len Kanemaru.

He's the so-called perfect guy, pretty boy barista type turned up to 11, who might as well have manifested from thin air, who has genuine fanboys and fangirls, and most of the Matsunos want him fucking dead. He's oblivious to both of these aspects of the public opinion and seems kind of empty headed for the most part. He is also struggling just as badly as them but literally no one would believe him if he told them.

He also wants to kiss the oldest DESPITE the fact that his brothers are so jealous of him for being so perfect. Shenanigans ensue.

If you want a more detailed write up about him read the cut.

OK SO . Len is a guy trying his best to pretend to be an adult despite wanting to be anything but it. Unlike the Matsunos who dont pretend to be an adult and are anything but it, Len is trying to push through adult life while wanting to return to childhood when things were easier.

Sure he has a job as barista, but he's poor with money, spending it like he's still a teenager, struggles to maintain contact with people he’s befriended outside of work, DESPITE thinking people hating him is the end of the world, and surprisingly, still lives with his parents.

The thing is that he's REALLY good at pretending to have it all together. He has quite a few fanboys and fangirls and is often described as a prince. (It’s because of his charmingly good customer service skills that is his only real social experience post highschool.) But, despite being in his mid twenties, hes kind of poorly equipped socially and is unable to pick this up, despite it being clear to literally everyone.

(Like he thinks he’s being bad at pretending to be a well put together adult, and then turns around and can handle rush pretty well understaffed, not make any mistakes, and still keep a pleasant demeanor that his admirers swoon over. Anytime someone does act like a fan trying to get his love it’s met with confusion and just. “Huh.” more than anything. He doesn’t even reject them because he doesn’t realize so many people are in love with him)

This includes quite a few Matsunos who are jealous of him for being so popular (and admittedly kind of cool), find his princely yet oblivious attitude almost annoying, and somewhat creepy because of how much he knows about them from highschool. And those who aren't irritated by him are relatively apathetic towards him.

The only reason theyre so aware of him is the fact that he and Todomatsu worked at the same cafe before the latter quit. It was after he quit that Len properly met the sextuplets, having a chance encounter with the boys sometime after. Todomatsu was already irritated by him, by again, seeing above, but also because he already seemed intimately familiar with Totty during his highschool years.

It's like they had a whole classmate just manifest into being while skipping the "actually go to class together" part.

(They did actually go to school together but literally no one knew he existed during then. Not to their fault though, Len was basically that one vine that's like "I can't I have so much to do tomorrow" *fucks around on the keyboard. Because of that Len ended up being bad with people by the time he graduated and was ushered into the work force by his parents. As a result he can't really keep friends, often times contact dying off on accident. A lot of the time spent working is him TRYING his best to maintain relationships as an adult but it never really works out. Deep down Len wishes he could redo highschool, so he could not only get this skills but also find some memories that he so clearly missed out on. Because he willingly opted out of making those therefore other people don’t remember him. As far as he knows he hasn’t really had a friend since middle school.)

But like after the two and Totty's brothers encountered each other in public a whole bomb got dropped and nothing was the same.

Despite generally not liking him the Matsunos keep him around, mostly due to Totty's insistence saying they can use him (so they cant kill him yet!) but because Len is kind of bad with people in general outside of having a fandom (that, again, came with his customer service skills), and the Matsunos are the Matsunos, this never ever goes well.

Despite this and how much shenanigans the Matsunos end up dragging him into, he considers them friends since its the closest relationship he's maintained outside of his house. On top of that, he almost admires them for being NEETs. He's kind of ashamed of it, because he knows they have to be an adult, but because he's struggling so much as an adult, he wants nothing more than to be like them. He wants to stop being an adult and return to highschool.

It's why he takes to Osomatsu so much, since he seems most open about how shitty he is and how much he doesnt want to grow up. Like weirdly enough, his man-child behavior is what makes Len likes him so much. Sure he also has a big heart and loves his family, and Len can acknowledge Oso’s best aspects, but it’s the worst parts of him that loves.

And that admiration for having his character laid out flat and embracing his childishness despite his age and situation, how he practically will just grow up when he wants to rather than when he has to (unlike Len), makes the perfect man fall for the loser guy.

The more he hangs around the Matsunos the more they encourage him to tap into his evil side, and may end up making him worse, but for now he's Mr Perfect and most of them hate him for that. He doesn't get the message though so he's just kind of hanging around them for now.

Anyways he and Osomatsu are literally I'm Glad You're Evil Too to me . And also look at these sketches of him .

[bmpmp3]

its important to watch a new movie or read a new book sometimes. largely because 1) its nice to experience all the art this world has to offer but also 2) you might be able to find new scenarios to imagine your OCs in

Tell me about your ocs, who are they what are they up to?

Oh man I have so many ocs. Here's something about the ones I'm drawing the most at the moment!!

Here is Ryland and Arto:

They’re kind of... half involved in some supernatural and occult-y stuff, (mostly) accidentally. 

Ryland owns a used book store somewhere in the UK, and his book deals in rare books and old occult and supernatural related books. He is obsessed with knowledge and is kind of self righteous which tends to lead to him thinking he is morally superior to others. He tries to do good but tends to have a “the end justifies the means” approach to many situations. (He looks different in every single picture I draw of him cause I just can’t figure out what he looks like)

Arto is originally from Finland but he is an employee in a strange apothecary that exists in a pocket dimension. He doesn’t really know how he got there or why he is working there, but he likes to have a place where he belongs. The apothecary he works at can appear anywhere, at anytime, and it can be found randomly by people who are seeking for a “cure” for some problem of theirs. Arto has been officially reported as missing and none of his family or friends know where he is.

Ryland knows some things about supernatural things and he is trying to figure out what the hell is going on with Arto and the apothecary.

Maybe you've mentioned it before but I didn't see it and I'm curious, what's the exact deal with Gaius and gladia, what did he do? :0

This is sort of a complicated thing, but the simple answer is he did his job!

The detailed answer deals with his backstory as having been born in Flame Legion to an Iron Legion dam who, when he was around two, fled with him back to the Citadel, and shortly after went on her final patrol. Babby!Gaius dedicated himself to the idea of becoming the best soldier in Iron Legion to live up to/make up for the loss of his dam. Fast forward to when he's 21 and made gladium after losing his warband. After a year of self-loathing, he's able to enlist in Blood thanks to some favors, and he eventually transfers back to Iron, and eventually makes his way to Centurion.

But the problem is that Gaius has really no talent for Iron legion type things. He's a great soldier and strategist, but he's got none of what makes Iron Legion Iron. Additionally, he's not actually in charge of soldiers who are part of the things that he's good at--he's just in charge of engineers and shit, so the vast majority of his job is paperwork.

Except that he also gets to do disciplinary action, and the primary folk that get sent his way are awol wannabes being made gladium. He beats their asses, lops off a horn, does their paperwork, and they're gladium.

This was his job for around 13 years before personal story, where he was pretty much allowed to enforce his belief that the only good gladium was a gladium who was doing their best to throw themselves back into action. His personal story is separate from that of what occurs in game, where after being invited by Rytlock on an assault on Barradin's Vault (you know, the tutorial) he gets caught up being framed for actually killing a pair of gladia whose horns he'd recently cleaved. His personal story is spent being demoted to legionnaire and gathering a band to help him figure out who's framing him and why.

As you can guess from things you've seen lately--this perspective isn't something he's proud of? He's 48 at the start of personal story, and the exposure...to everything that occurs as commander really helps him grow and become more empathetic, and, well. Unfortunately, he's still got a reputation, since among Iron, he's unfortunately better known for his time as centurion than anything he's done as pact commander except IBS (you know, the phenomenon of people knowing you before you got big and since everything you did while a hero was outside their periphery--no matter how big it was--it doesn't feel as real to them).

I don’t really care about shipping THAT much but honestly a lot depends on what about a pairing makes you like it. what about it draws you in, what doesnt, and why you want to change that thing. what it would become if you changed that thing, what changing that thing would do to it.

I saw a post about zukka the other day where OP was groaning about how many ppl make zuko into a babygirl for his long hair while acting like sokka is this hypermasculine hunter type, despite so much of his character deals with themes of inadequacy and wanting to make people around you proud/ take you seriously. also him liking shopping and arts&crafts and into theatre and writing poetry. OP said something like ‘it becomes about the viewers desire to fit a character to their own tastes, without considering who the character actually is’ which is such an eloquent way of putting it!

so when it comes to messing around with identities via ships its like… playing with gender and shit is fun! its good to explore and mess around and try things. if your outlet is through your favorite characters, hey, go nuts. but I think its really important to look at the way we feel and consider why we feel that way.

literally whenever i sit down to write something i go ‘okay. is this for me to be self indulgent and ooc. or is this to be faithful to the characters as they exist as narrative tools’ basically am i writing for Me or am i writing for Them. and i do both! but it just comes down to that I dont like taking characters out of the context of their stories too much. im a firm believer of ‘liking something because of something, not despite it’, so when it comes to m/f ships its like. okay well why am I drawn to this over a gay ship. do I think ‘damn i wish this was gay’ or is the fact that its mf add a little flavor. for me its all about the flavor
