tiago being franco's best sidekick

[paint-n-thinner]

took a small break from request to draw out a design for an oc that was plaguing my mind  😵

[zzztlk]

Trying to not be active until I have new stuff but I got a vograce collab and have been given the ability to make little trinkets on their dollar.. here's the art

[bewaretheidiotsofmarch]

So uhhhhh, I've been hyperfixating lately🤭 I may be a little bit in love with Tiago/Silva and Safin....💓😮‍💨💓

I may have made an oc for Safin🤫

I have prosopagnosia so drawing real people is always scary to me, but less so if they're on screen as basically a 2d image. I can't see faces at ALL in real time so I'm pretty proud that I've managed to get them anywhere near close.

𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗧 𝗕𝗨𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗘𝗦

The time has once again come for me to talk about some plot bunnies!! These are some all of the plot bunnies I currently have that I haven’t really talked about much, at least on here - feel free to ask me any questions you might have about them!!

Arabella Larson, Percy Jackson OC, OC + OC ship. Daughter of Aphrodite. Super sweet, sees Grover as a little brother figure and is very protective over him, has amazing fashion sense and is amazing at doing makeup. Girlfriend to an Ares girl named Noelle.

Noelle Perez, Percy Jackson OC, OC + OC ship. Daughter of Ares, Arabella’s girlfriend. More skilled with hand-to-hand combat than weapons. One of the oldest kids in Ares cabin, so she acts as an older sister to everyone. Gets a bit protective over Percy immediately and doesn’t approve of Clarisse bullying him at all.

Lydia Chen, Percy Jackson OC, Percy ship. Daughter of Apollo. A total theatre kid who’s a great singer and actress and wants to be on Broadway one day. Pretty much the only one to try and help Percy in his first week aside from Luke. Has a bit of healing ability, but can only fix minor cuts and scrapes. A bit dramatic, but still a sweetheart.

Eleleth, Supernatural OC, OC + OC ship. Girlfriend for my other Supernatural OC Via Winchester. Young dominion angel who comes to Earth with Castiel to teach Via about her own abilities and her role in the coming fight, and winds up falling in love with her. A bit uptight and doesn’t think much of humans, but she grows right along with Cas. Via considers her name “too fancy” and calls her Elle, with she hates right up until she doesn’t.

Morvant Bellatrix, One Piece live-action OC, Mihawk ship. Former assassin, of the all-female Fatale pirate crew. Known as the Siren of the East Blue because she has a Devil Fruit power that lets her inflict pain on people by singing a specific song (think kind of a dark Rapunzel). Basically unofficially adopts Luffy and the other Straw Hats and goes out of her way to keep bounty hunters and other pirates away from them. Mihawk takes one look at her torturing someone and immediately falls in love. She is cold and calculating but she also can and will kill for the people she cares about.

Yami Corvo, One Piece live-action OC, Shanks ship. One of the most deadly assassins in all four Blues. Has a Devil Fruit power that allows them to manipulate their own blood and make it into weapons (think Marie Moreau from Gen V). Tries and fails to kill Mihawk, but he takes a liking to them and offers to bring them along with him on his travels, which is how they meet Shanks, who takes one look at this feral assassin and instantly gets heart eyes. They are very much a golden retriever/black cat ship and it’s lovely.

Phoebe Mosley, The Magnificent Seven OC, Vasquez ship. Bounty hunter with incredible shooting skills who’s an old friend of Sam’s, so he recruits her to help protect Rose Creek. Closed-off and not receptive to Vasquez and Faraday’s flirting at first, but warms up to everyone on the team eventually and becomes besties with Billy. Name is inspired by Annie Oakley’s real name, Phoebe Ann Mosey.

Santiago “Tiago” Rojas, The Magnificent Seven OC, poly Goody + Billy ship. Outlaw wanted for the murder of a preacher he’d found to be abusing his children who helps Faraday out when he’s approached by the men he owes money to and receives the offer to help Rose Creek along with him. Eventually falls in love with Goody and Billy, but also becomes Spanish-speaking besties with Vasquez and good friends with Jack because they’re both religious. Very good with knives and an axe when he can get his hands on one.

Sophia Ramos, M*A*S*H OC, Father Mulcahy ship. Former USO girl and aspiring Broadway chorus girl who volunteers as a nurse when the army asks for more. A total girly girl who always wears makeup and her nice dresses whenever she doesn’t have to be in uniform. Incredibly cheery and playful, and often entertains the 4077th by singing and dancing to keep morale up. Becomes unexpected besties with Margaret, and just so happens to fall for the company priest along the way.

Anastasia “Ana” Upland, The Hunger Games OC, poly Katniss and Peeta ship. District 3, Career victor of the 72nd Hunger Games. Eagerly volunteered for her Games, but became disillusioned with the Capital after having to kill just to survive and win and sought out the rebellion after Katniss and Peeta’s victory. Gets to know Katniss and Peeta during the Quarter Quell Games and slowly falls in love with both of them as the rebellion progresses. Very closed-off and cold because she’s haunted by the things she’s seen and done, but fiercely loyal and would do anything for the people she cares about. Skilled with a variety of weapons, but best at close hand-to-hand combat.

Delilah “Lila” Wills, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen OC, poly Tom Sawyer + OC ship. Added to the relationship between Tom and my other OC Enola Holmes. Works as a secretary and assistant for Enola’s small detective business in London before she gets recruited by the League, and when the League comes back for another mission in London Enola convinces the other members to make her a part of the group. She and Enola were definitely something more than friends before, but when she sees Enola is with Tom she thinks she has no more chance until all three of them realize they’re all falling in love with each other. She also becomes besties with Skinner because they’re both crafty buggers with Cockney accents and a loose relationship with the law.

Tagging everyone who might be interested in some of these babies: @auxiliarydetective, @luucypevensie, @xoteajays, @themaradwrites, @endless-oc-creations, @starcrossedjedis, @ginevrastilinski-ocs, @oneirataxia-girl.

“So, how is it, doll?”

Camilla snorted at the use of the nickname, but gave Tiago the pleasure of an answer.

“Very good, Tia,” she sent him a wink, giggling profusely. “Now, this might sound like a stretch, but I think you outdid yourself with this beignet recipe.”

Tiago chuckled, leaning against RSA's kitchen counter. “Oh? Ya think so?”

“I know so.”

“You seem very sure of yourself, dollface.”

Camilla cocked her head to the side, painting an innocent look on her face whilst extending her hand (likely for more beignets.). “What, is that so wrong?”

“No,” he replied, filling her plate with a couple more beignets. “'Just thought it was cute of you.”

She whistled. “Don't go playing with fire now, Tia. Snakes bite, and so do the flames of a raging inferno.”

Tiago let out a laugh, soft and melodic. “I'm willing to put up with a bit of heat.”

Camilla crossed her legs, winking at him. “Don't be so sure of yourself, Tia.”

This playful banter between them was kind of the norm. It's usually Tiago who'd initiate it, but that wasn't to say Camilla wouldn't start it off, either.

However, this time around, Camilla noticed a weird air around Tiago. Specifically the dark circles in his eyes. And although his smile was a sight for sore eyes…

Camilla seemed to notice this is becoming more common, as days go by.

Naturally, ever concerned for the well-being of her boyfriend, Camilla decided to finally bring it up. “Hey,” she said, calling out to him and catching his attention.

“Are you feeling okay?” she sent him a look of clear concern, wondering if it was something she said — or something else entirely.

That same tired smile was sent back to her as an answer. “I'm fine, doll,” Tiago walked up to Camilla, pressing a kiss to her cheek — and another kiss on her forehead. Almost as if to distract her from his current state.

Unfortunately for Tiago, Camilla cannot be persuaded by even the most charming of…. Well, charms. “Don't try saying that to me, Tia.”

She gave him a sort of pout, but then the genuine worry in her eyes began festering. “Tia, you know you can tell me, y'know…”

Much like Camilla, Tiago wouldn't be easily persuaded. “I'm fine, really,” he leaned against the counter. “Honest.”

“From the looks of it? Not so much,” Camilla clicked her tongue, shooting a knowing look at Tiago. She wasn't going to let this go so easily.

It wasn't that Tiago didn't trust Camilla. He did. But….

“Wait,” Camilla paused, trying to think of why Tiago wasn't telling her anything. “Do you think I'm going to gossip about you if you tell me how you're feeling-?”

“What?? N-No!” Tiago rushed back to her side, reassuringly putting his head on her shoulders and kissing her temple. “I know you wouldn't stoop that low, doll. You love gossip, I know, but you wouldn't do that.”

She pursed her lips, face twisting. “I know, but….”

“Doll,” Tiago took one of his hands and began caressing her cheek. “I'm fine. You don't have to worry about anything because there's nothing to worry about.”

That's a bear-faced lie and you know that, Camilla thought, now beginning to ponder on what she should do if she wanted to find out.

And, very soon, she knew just the person to go to for help.

༝ㅤ･. ↯ㅤ˚ㅤ↳。ㅤ.ㅤ𓆙⋆ㅤ

“You better have a good explanation for why you suddenly interrupted my alchemy lesson.”

Victoria leaned against the wall, arching a brow at Camilla with crossed arms. The latter, however, was smiling awkwardly at her older cousin — pondering what she should tell her.

“So….. You know how I'm dating Tia?” Camilla asked, trying to make it sound as natural a question as possible.

“I am aware,” Victoria shook her head. “You never shut up about him.”

That got Camilla giggling for a moment, but her focus returned to her task at hand. “Yes, um-” she let out an awkward cough. “.... I'm gonna need info on him.”

Well, that certainly got Victoria blinking and internally judging her cousin.

“.... Pardon? You want me to give you information on your boyfriend.”

“Yes- I mean- Well, that isn't exactly what I meant-”

“Then what point were you trying to make?” The look in Victoria's eyes sharpened. “Did you two get into an argument?”

“No!” Camilla dropped any questions along those lines immediately. “It's just-”

“Just?” Victoria beckoned Camilla to continue, tilting her head slightly. With a gaze so sharp that Camilla had to take a breath or two before continuing.

Finally, Camilla mustered enough confidence to admit to her cousin. “It's just…. It feels like something's been bothering him lately. And- And he won't tell me about it, which is insane! I mean, did I do something wrong? Did I do something to offend him? Does he think I'm gonna spill the beans to everyone on campus if I-”

“He's not keeping it from you because of reasons like that,” Victoria cut her off, raising a hand as a gesture that it was her turn to talk. “Most likely, he isn't telling you so you don't get worried.”

“But that's ridiculous!” Camilla groaned into her hands. “Doesn't he know he can trust me with these things!”

“As said before, he's keeping it from you so you don't make a fuss about it. Tiago prefers getting noticed for his food, not for what's going on in his personal life,” It took everything in Victoria to not let out an exasperated huff.

Leaning against the wall next to her, Camilla crossed her arms, the expression on her face twisted to look like a pout. It managed to make Victoria chuckle a bit, at least.

After a moment or two of complete silence between them, Victoria spoke up.

“So,” she angled her head up, staring at the stone ceiling. “You want me to figure out what's been bothering him?”

“I mean,” Camilla scratched the back of her head. “Yeah, basically. You're the best person for the job…”

That got a ghost of a smile out of Victoria. “I'm flattered, but I'm going to need to inquire with you on whether or not you think this is actually a good idea or not.”

Camilla rolled her eyes. “Are you seriously doubting me?”

“Yes,” Victoria answered swiftly. “And I feel I should warn you, Mercury won't be pleased once word gets to him.”

“It isn't his business, so he should just keep his judgemental comments up his ass,” Camilla grumbled — one section of her hair turning into a serpent that sided with her.

This time it was Victoria's turn to roll her eyes, as she began walking away from Camilla to (begrudgingly) fulfill her request.

“You better know what you're doing, ‘Milla.”

༝ㅤ･. ↯ㅤ˚ㅤ↳。ㅤ.ㅤ𓆙⋆ㅤ

As soon as she got the information she wanted, Camilla got to work.

Now within the comfort of her dorm room, Camilla leaned against the headboard, reading through the information her cousin managed to gather for her.

She clicked her tongue. Looks like someone's been talking down on Tia….

That was certainly displeasing to Camilla's ears. The sheer thought that someone could dislike her oh-so-princely boyfriend felt almost alien to her.

Aside from what that someone was saying to affect Tiago, Victoria had been courteous enough to write an additional section of information on the person. Their name, their academic stats, their family, their relationships, etc.

Just reading through everything she was able to find gave Camilla a chill down her spine. Seven's above, Vicky's a little too good at this…

She gulped, somewhat overwhelmed by all the information in a couple of documents, before confidence washed over her. That smile washed over her.

She scoffed. “Taking this guy down is about as easy as writing my own personal burn book,” Camilla murmured.

All sense of morality? It was all out of the window by then. When it came to the way something affected Tiago, he always came first and foremost, for Camilla.

That wasn't to say Camilla was morally sound, to begin with, though.

༝ㅤ･. ↯ㅤ˚ㅤ↳。ㅤ.ㅤ𓆙⋆ㅤ

Tiago looked around, slightly skeptical as he and Camilla walked down RSA’s halls. Hmm….

“Something bothering you, Tia?” Camilla's voice felt all too pleased. At the moment, she was looking at her compact mirror, reapplying some lip gloss.

“I’m…. Fine, I guess,” Tiago leaned over to her to whisper; “Is it just me, or is everyone starin’ at us?...”

Camilla could only giggle a little too endearingly, pecking Tiago’s lips for a moment. And only a moment. “Aw, Tia, calm down. They're not staring.”

And by not staring, she meant Not-Staring. Not looking at the person to the point it was deliberate.

Tiago didn't get the memo of that, though. “Ah,” he breathed. “Right….”

As they walked — side by side, hand-in-hand — Camilla couldn't fight back the look of utter satisfaction in her eyes.

They deserved it, she justified it to herself. After what they did to Tia, it was only inevitable!

That was just who Camilla was. Hurting her loved ones, to her, is a crime worse than anything else. And it's simply an impulse for her to retaliate using the only thing she deems herself good at.

Gossip. Talking behind their back, keeping secrets.

She knew Tiago wouldn't have approved if he found out. That he wouldn't be angry, but rather disappointed in her.

And she doesn't want that. Never in her life could she manage the thought of that ever happening.

So she'll find solace in moments like the one she's having with him now, lovey-dovey and almost fairytale-esque until the time comes when they'll finally clash.

Whatever comes next is a problem for her future self.

Dust: Noteworthy Figures

Humanity has long been enthralled by Dust, even before they had the barest inkling of what it was that they had plucked from the earth. Deceptively beautiful and unspeakably powerful, Dust has inspired people for countless millennia. Its utility as a technological resource, and a potent weapon against the Grimm, has firmly cemented its place within society—such that everyday life would be unrecognizable without it. Yet that has done little to combat humanity’s ignorance of what it is, exactly, that they’ve harnessed. In spite of generations of research, questions about the origins of Dust, and what it’s made of, continue to elude people.

Progress has continued, regardless of those setbacks. The individuals mentioned here have spearheaded that progress, and given rise to the breakthroughs that continue to drive humanity forward. Listed below are their names, along with their contributions.

Dossiers

Jordan of Anima — The founder of rhizology, who hailed from the ancient city of Chamenos, Remnant’s largest psychometric imprint. A separate post exploring the details of their life will be released on a later date.

Nicholas Schnee — A divisive figure who garnered his share of supporters and detractors, particularly within Atlas. Unlike the other members of the kingdom’s ruling elite, Nicholas was born to the working middle class of the undercity, Mantle. He hailed from a long line of blacksmiths and metallurgists, but unlike his predecessors, his fascination was with Dust, not ore. He spent much of his free time in his workshop, trying to find a method to make Dust usage more efficient and accessible. After much trial and error, his tinkering led to the modern process for flash-freezing Dust in its elemental-release state. The invention of the Dust cartridge (or battery) was the beginning of the SDC, which quickly expanded its operations to include both Dust extraction and factory refinement. Nicholas personally oversaw his mines in Solitas and earned a reputation as a formidable combatant, protecting his employees from Grimm (including a centuries-old Hartless). The success of his business was what enabled him to enter the ranks of Atlas’ old families, through his arranged marriage to Thyra Royce. In keeping with the social customs, Nicholas arranged his daughter’s marriage as well. Unfortunately, long-term exposure through Dust mining led to the eventual acquisition of toxorhizosis, which soon hospitalized him (and killed him not long after). Prior to his death, he named his son-in-law—Jacques Gelé—as his successor.

Djura Gannet — In the aftermath of the Great War, international travel became attainable as the world opened its borders. Gannet, a retired warrior from Vacuo’s coasts, wanted to experience the newfound peace he had bled for, and decided to visit the other kingdoms. As he explored Eastern Sanus (and later, Anima), he became particularly interested in Dust vortices. Their existence mystified him. As Gannet had personally observed in combat, Dust required the presence of Aura in order to have its elemental effects triggered. How could a vortex possibly be sustained if there wasn’t enough ambient Aura to keep them above a certain energetic threshold? On a scale of entire ecosystems, no less. While he wasn’t the first to ponder this conundrum, Gannet was the first to electronically map several vortices, and measure pneumatophysical activity across the area. His tentative conclusion was that the ambient Aura was disproportionate to the presence of wildlife needed to sustain that sort of passive output. This anomaly, named Gannet’s paradox, was used to classify Dust as either technically inert or functionally inert. The latter state, as noted by rhizologists, is only observed when Dust leaves Remnant’s atmosphere, suggesting that the planet itself holds some quality that explains the paradox.

Rednine — It’s an established fact that a Dust vortex can influence the evolution of endemic species. The gliding agamid lizards of Lake Matsu’s floating islands are testament of that. What was less known were the biochemical effects that vortices had on organisms, and the pharmaceutical value they held. The Siroccan who made that discovery took the name Rednine, after the eponymous plant native to Tsahïk Forest—a small, bright-red flower with nine petals. The roots, stems, leaves, and fruit of the plant are highly toxic, which might explain why no one realized the corolla was medicinal. In fact, when Rednine first ate one of the petals, it was an accident. They mistook it for a similar-looking plant. Once the initial panic—and relief—wore off, Rednine decided to harvest more of the plant and see if it had any culinary applications. While it wasn’t all that useful in a salad, Rednine was intrigued by the fact that it seemed to temporarily disable their Aura. Later research revealed the existence of unique rhizo-organic compounds which have an inhibitory effect. Today, the rednine flower is the source of a class of drugs known as Aura suppressants. It’s thought that other Dust vortices might yield similar pharmaceutical plants, but to date, only one has been discovered.

Tiago Torgal — Dying early in life is a recurring theme among rhizologists, though it could be argued that Torgal’s was his own doing. Unlike Rednine, who focused on the long-term evolutionary impacts of Dust, Torgal’s work concerned the immediate, short-term effects on biological systems. His interest wasn’t in its key characteristics—like luminance, color, and passive behavior—which were already well-documented; it was in the interactive, synergistic phenomena, which were harder to observe. Torgal extensively stress-tested Dust types by using himself as a research subject, going so far as inhaling it in a powdered form and ingesting small crystals. When asked why he didn’t just use animals, he scoffed, and muttered something about “objectivity” under his breath. While unconventional, his studies revolutionized healthcare by creating a thorough list of type-specific diagnostic criteria, and the dosage at which effects in the body occur. Years of subjecting himself to his own experiments eventually led to his death, and helped solidify toxorhizosis as a valid medical condition.

Kyrii Piers — A doctor from Menagerie who specialized in treating Dust-related complications, and the discoverer of epalem. One day early on in her career, she received a number of patients from the recently-opened Teoriaþ Mine, under the ownership of the SDC. Nearly every collier she treated had acute symptoms of Dust poisoning and silicosis, along with other injuries, such as abrasions and burns. Some occupational hazards were to be expected—Dust mining was, and continues to be, one of Remnant’s most dangerous careers—but not to this extent. When Piers attempted to speak with the insurance company and the Teoriaþ manager, their answers were evasive, inconsistent, and vague. Suspicious, Piers traveled to southern Mistral, and with the help of a colleague, managed to get hired by the mine under a pseudonym. While employed for the SDC, she witnessed and documented multiple workers’ rights violations, including the provision of faulty equipment. Once she compiled enough evidence, Piers terminated her contract and brought her findings to the public. The media coverage resulted in litigation and several fines that the SDC had to pay, although the mine was allowed to remain open, as the CEO claimed ignorance and blamed the damages on the manager. A few months after the investigation concluded, Piers was found dead in her apartment. Local law enforcement ruled it a homicide, and while never outright implicated, it’s suspected that the SDC had a hand in it.
