✨ Weekly Tag Wednesday ✨

Thank you so much for tagging me - love this one! (i love them all actually) @jrooc

@stocious @michellemisfit @doshiart @mybrainismelted @mmmichyyy

@sgtmickeyslaughter @gallapiech @suzy-queued @spookygingerr @roryonic

Name and A03 handle: Julia, Blue_Disco_Lights

Current Location: my dining table - my work is hybrid, so this (suprisingly uncomfortable setup) is my desk twice a week.

Favourite picrew: I never really wore my space buns this high, maybe a bit lower… also the jewelry is a Chain Mickey homage obviously.

What's one thing you want in a picrew? I love a creative background and good sweater options. If left to my own devices, I’d be in a hoodie all the time, but it’s nice to spice things up!

Favourite thing you’ve created (or seen created) for the fandom? Hard to choose! it's a tie between some @galladrabbles and these @gallacrafts.

Why is it your favourite? I’ve been knitting since I was a kid but never really got beyond the scarf phase lol - and Season 1 Not-a-booty-call/“Whatever, see ya” Mickey wore that green scarf and I knew I had to recreate it. The t-shirt is me attempting to draw for the tomato theme and I just think it would be so funny if Ian actually wore this outside.

Did it come easily or was it hard to create? For the scarf, it was all about finding the right yarn and also that cute patch that just appeared out of nowhere at the craft store. Drawing is hard because i don't know how 😆

Last ao3 fic you commented on? It was either on Shame-proof written by @ms-moonlight-inn and @notherenewjersey or A Song Only You Can Hear by @suzy-queued - both so good!

Biggest WIP heartache you’ve ever experienced? I’m usually OK with WIPs taking a while, truly… but oh man, I’ll copy @jrooc's answer and say Things Beyond Mistake by grayola. What a STUNNING work and we’re left just aching for what happens for those two. My second is Elevator Music by gallavichsecurity- another beautifully written one that I hope will continue one day. 

Favourite trope or head cannon you like included in a fanfic? I love enemies to lovers, the slower the burn the better 🫠🔥 . I’ve yelled about loving road trip plots a lot, so I loved Highway of Hedonism  by @roryonic (w/ beautiful art by @gallapiech).

Least favourite? I’ve never gravitated to mpreg   

Secret or surprising kink or trope? Never even knew A/B/O was a thing until i got here - hello! Same goes for Whump - once it clicked that it was an actual genre, it was like oh wow, i think i’ve been into this my whole life lol.

Describe how you feel after you’ve created something new? Er, shocked quite honestly. When I see that I actually have multiple things posted on AO3 I do wonder who that person is??

Top hype man you have that always helps you get across the finish line: There are so many hype people i want to thank in my writing journey - your amazing comments & reblogs really made me feel like a writer! (which was a little shocking - so please know they went a long way 💕) @gallawitchxx @energievie @creepkinginc @jrooc @michellemisfit @palepinkgoat @gillyp @suzy-queued @ian-galagher @sweetbee78 @francesrose3 - and special shout out to @mybrainismelted for being an amazing sounding board and co-conspirator on Gallavich Summer Camp among other things!

It's been a bad day, you turn to the fandom and you _____? Hang out on Discord and Tumblr, and fall into one of the very many tabs I have open. Currently it’s You’ll Never See Us Again by @spoonfulstar - and omggggg.

If you're tagged in this post and haven't made one of these yet - this is your official invite!

Writeblr for newbies

So you joined Tumblr to talk about your writing. Maybe you're published and you want to promote your works, or maybe you're wanting a supportive community of fellow writers, or maybe you're just writing for the hell of it and want to show the world your blorbos.

Welcome!!

Being a part of the writing side of Tumblr is a little bit like being in kindergarten and all the kids are talking about their imaginary friends to each other. Except some of the kids have published stories about their imaginary friends in real books you can buy. It's so cool.

I have made some wonderful friends on Writeblr, I've ARC'd and beta'd books for people, and I've gotten a lot of warm fuzzies from sharing my snippets and my characters. It's somewhere between self-promo and group therapy, but it doesn't feel like either. It feels like a wonderful community of writers supporting each other.

The Writeblr lingo can seem a little intense at first so I thought I'd set up a guide. If I've missed anything lmk!

WIP - stands for 'work in progress' (plural: WIPs). Any piece of writing (or poetry, or any kind of art) that isn't completed yet. This might be the first draft of a story, or the nth draft of your novel, or the not-yet-posted chapter of the fanfiction you're writing. WIP is a state of mind: it might be nearly complete, or it might just be an idea with a few hundred words attached to it. Talk about it as much or as little as you want.

WIP intro - a totally optional (and honestly a lot of hard work sometimes lol) post explaining the main themes/background/plot/characters of your WIP. Something you can link people to so they good a good idea of your WIP and what it's about. Similarly, character intro, for individual characters within a WIP, often with art/picrews.

Tag game - the lifeblood of Writeblr! In its most basic form, someone tags you in a game, you play the game, then tag other people you want to play the game. Lots of people do 'open tags', which you can also pick up. These games can range from making picrews of your characters to posting a snippet or multiple snippets. A few common ones at the moment (these change often!) are: Find the Word (the tagger gives you words to find in your WIP, you post a short snippet for each word, then give the people you tag new words to find); Last Line (you post the last line(ish) you wrote, or wrote recently); 9 Lines 9 People (post 9(ish) recent lines, tag 9(ish) people). There are so many more, and new ones being created all the time.

Blorbo - your OC (original character) that lives in your mind rent-free. The one(s) you would commit war crimes for. You know the one I'm talking about. In addition, blorbo trading and sharing is encouraged in the Writeblr community.

Ask game - a post that you reblog, usually containing a list of prompts or questions, that encourages your followers to ask those questions in your ask box. It is friendly to drop an ask from the game to the person you reblogged the post from.

Weekly asks - if you've asked to take part, questions about your writing in your inbox, related to a certain day of the week. There's Worldbuilding Wednesday (WBW), which are questions about worldbuilding, Blorbo Blursday (OC questions), and Storyteller Saturday (STS), questions about writing in general. These questions can be very generic and vague, or can be about specific characters/stories.

Pinned Post - basically, an 'about' page. Talk about yourself, your WIPs, the kinds of things you like, whether you want to be involved in Writeblr games, whether your asks are open. You don't need one, but it can be a handy reference point for your followers.

Taglist - sometimes, Tumblr posts get lost on the dash. If you are interested in a particular WIP, ask the author if you can be put on their taglist, so you can get notified every time they post about it. They will love you for it, seriously!

Overall, on Writeblr, it is always encouraged:

to talk about your stories and characters as much as you like. People might not follow along at first, but they'll get on board!

to reblog others' writing/snippets/promo. We're all relying on each other for our sanity here, and a nice comment in the tags never goes amiss either!

I'm sure I've missed something - feel free to add!

[thekingofthenameless]

I’M BACK

And I’m rebranding everything.

Profile picture change, username change (in a few days), etc.

talesofarcadiaforever -> thekingofthenameless

I took a long hiatus from writing and Tumblr in general because of bad burnout and putting expectations on myself that I shouldn’t have. Ha. But I’m back! And good news! I started writing again! Better news?

I decided to officially discontinue Emerald Embers and the Daylight’s Redemption series and write my own book.

I was already making everything so different from ToA that it was practically an alternate universe already: redesigning Merlin, making Merlin and Charlie familiars, adding magical species that weren’t explicitly in canon, completely changing other characters… I still love ToA, but I’m not hyperfixated on it anymore. And that’s okay. I was so scared of letting go for a long time, but I’m happy with my decision.

My wip is now called The King of the Nameless!

Currently, there are five main characters, and tidbits about each of them will be a little further down. (Except for one guy. He sucks.) Their attempted designs will also be down there.

In some aspects, it probably hasn’t changed too much. I’m still basing it off of Arthurian Legends, and Merlin is still the protagonist. But I redesigned him. Again.

The deuteragonist is Charlie; he and Merlin are still familiars. I tried several different names for him, but none of them would stick for him no matter how hard I tried; so Charlie the dragon he stays. But he now has the last name Ambrosius to reflect that he and Merlin are found family as well.

The other three characters in this stage of the story are Igraine, Gorlois, and Uther.

Igraine is Arthur and Morgana’s mother in the Arthurian Legends, (which I did not know at first and was wondering how Arthur and Morgana were half-siblings because they have different fathers…) and will stay the same here. I couldn’t find any official last name for her besides Pendragon from when she marries Uther? (Which is not going to happen here.) So I gave her and her husband the last name “le Fay” to match their daughter!

Gorlois is Igraine’s husband, and like I said, is Morgana’s father. However, unlike some media, he’s not going to be portrayed as a jealous and abusive husband. He’s the epitome of the “I love my wife” guy.

Uther is… a piece of work, to say the least. He’s the character who’s going to have a separate post because of triggering topics that I don’t want in this post.

I’m also going to make a separate post for upcoming characters, which include Nimue, Morgana, Arthur, etc.

Bear with me on lore and designs though please (I’m still working on the lore and I’m not sure if these will be their permanent designs except for Charlie). Some of it might be just random babble until I decide on something 😭 You’ll definitely be able to tell which characters I think about most ahaha.

Anyways, in more good news, I don’t use Artbreeder anymore. I attempt to use Picrews, but sometimes they don’t have everything I want, so I also use character creators from video games. If I could use Baldur’s Gate 3’s, I definitely would, but I’d have to spend like $600-ish to get something to play it on and get the game. 😑 I could also play it with my boyfriend, but our schedules are so busy with both of us working that’s it not really a convenient option.

But there is a game called Dragon’s Dogma, and I’ve been using that one! It’s an older game, so it doesn’t really have many fantasy character options, but it’s good enough for human characters lol. I made Igraine and Gorlois with it, and a few other characters yet to be posted.

Design and lore time!

Merlin:

This is him at the beginning of TKN! Expect more art of him eventually.

• 6' 8"

• “my son crump he has every disease”: schizophrenia, C-PTSD, misophonia

• is still a cambion like in the Arthurian Legends (specifically half-human, half-demon)

• was supposed to be the Anti-Christ (also like in the Legends)

• is also a romance and sex repulsed, non-partnering aroace <3.

• usually excudes a regal, dignified presence, and his preference for flowing outfits helps

• may seem slightly formal with strangers, but on a good day where he can clock their personality, he’ll either warm up to them quickly, or distance himself, depending on the person

• has a strong sense of justice, which also makes him anti-authoritarian for the most part. (unless they’ve actually proven that they’re not just in their position for the power of it, or because of nepotism; and really do want to help people.)

• extremely loyal

• highly empathetic; cries easily

• has a lot of trauma, but is still kind because he’s not going to make people suffer just because he did

• adrenaline junkie in regards to flying with Charlie

• Doesn’t kill if not necessary.

• Is very punctual. If you tell him to come at 5 he’ll be there at 4:30. At most.

Charlie:

• 6' 6" (top of muzzle)

• 7' 3" (top of head)

• the marking on his leg is his familiar mark!

• still nice, seems a little rougher around the edges than Merlin

• says the things that his wizard thinks but won’t say, and doesn’t hide that he stares people down while gauging their character. he sometimes won’t care that he sounds mean or very direct either

• very protective of his familiar and is intensely loyal to him. isn’t really willing to leave the latter alone with people they don’t really know because of people attempting to take advantage of his schizophrenia in the past, gaslighting him into thinking that their actions weren’t real and were things he hallucinated/imagined

• Do no harm but take no shit

• Far more willing to kill than Merlin

• “Hey do you want me to kill that guy for you? Because it sounds like he sucks and I will totally kill that guy for you.”

• (I guess he technically counts as an emotional support animal but like. he’s sentient so idk 😭)

• is an omnivore (most dragons are, but he eats more human food than them from growing up and staying around them.)

Igriane:

• 6' 5"

• a wizard!

• was originally a red head before I realized that oh yeah. Morgana has brown hair, and a ginger and blonde would definitely not for the most part have a brunette kid

• purple eyes (haven’t decided if I’m gonna stay with this concept, but I like the idea of all wizards having some type of heterochromia, or technicolor eyes to show that they have magic)

Gorlois:

• 6' 0"

• he doesn’t have any type of unique eye color yet because I didn’t have the concept of that for wizards yet, and still not sure if I’m gonna keep it so. blue eyes for now

• again I say he’s the “I love my wife” guy!!

• also a wizard (which is where Morgana gets her magic when she’s born. You have two parents with magic you’re like. guaranteed to have magic.)

• maybe not really much of a fighter? Would probably use some type of sword if he was.

Wow that was so much lore. 👍 If anyone wants to talk to me about my ocs or suggest ideas, my ask box is always open! (And I love love love getting asks)

OC picrews!

These are all from my main storyverse, Sacred Darkness or SDverse.

Picrews used:

1, 2, 3

Caleb Cooper:

This is the guy whose backstory keeps changing to make it sadder. He likes Jane Austen novels and hates feeling like a failure. Which he does. A lot.

Jack:

Jack is extremely difficult to make in picrews thanks to how weird his design has gotten over the years. This isn't even that accurate because he's supposed to have different skin tones between the stitches. Fun fact, this picrew game makes you choose between a face scar and a neck scar, so I just made two versions and put them together in MS Paint.

He likes poetry and music and his friends and the smell of green tea, and hates being talked over.

Sarah Cheung:

I used to do a lot more with Sarah; at one point I entered her into one of those OC art tournaments, but I dropped out after a couple rounds.

She likes singing and hates not being able to help when people are sad.

Rita Cheung Pruitt:

Rita's another OC that's gone through quite a bit of change, though I haven't talked about her nearly as much on Tumblr, if at all. As much as I love the sushicore picrew, there's only one body type option and Rita's supposed to be fat. It's hard to find picrews that look good and have more plus-size options.

She likes gardening and collecting animal bones, and hates littering.

Ryan Cheung Pruitt:

I used to roleplay with this guy. If you're wondering if I went for bisexual lighting on purpose, the answer is yes.

He likes arts and crafts and hates awkward social situations.

Maya Robinson:

Maya's just a cool werewolf lesbian that I'm very fond of.

She likes camping and collecting animal bones, and hates feeling like she's missing out.

Jake Molina:

Jake's one of the OCs I've talked about the least. He was pretty generic for a while, with his only discerning features being 'gay" and "telepathic", but at some point I was like "you know what this story's missing? A goth with a heart of gold" and Jake was enough of a blank slate for me to slap that on him and start turning him into an actual person.

He likes fibercrafts and hates big crowds.

Zuri Sullivan:

Out of all my characters, Zuri's been through the most change since her initial conception because proto-Zuri was a white boy whose name has been lost to time. The eyepatch is supposed to be on the left. The stuffed cat is plot-relevant.

She likes making plushies, and hates loud voices and the feeling of velvet.

[picrews-for-rpgs]

Could you guys do a list for gorgon picrews/snake hair picrews?? Pls it's so hard to find a good one

Hi! I am just one singular guy unfortunately lol so sorry this has taken forever to respond to (this also applies to the other 30 messages sitting in my ask box sorry)

Unfortunately I don't know any that would work well for male/masculine characters (though some of the following could work, especially if the character is very young)

Here are some recs that come to mind!

Loserwithanartacc's Picrew by Imakeart

Pros

Additional snakey features including scales and fangs

Disability aid options like wheelchairs

Tons of options for skin details like scars, freckles, tattoos, make up and more

The best in this list for making an adult and/or masculine character (no snakey facial hair though sadly)

Cons

Only one snakey hair option and colour options are quite limited

Clothing options are modern leaning

Two body types but they're very similar and both slim

OC Maker by ShyCustis

Pros

The only one on the list with a chubbier face shape/body type and the ability to make your character look older by adding wrinkles

Additional snakey details including scales, fangs and a forked little tongue

Great choice of fantasy and historical clothing

Cons

The snake hair is only available as one solid colour

Medusa Maker by しいむし

Pros

This picrew is specifically for making gorgons/Medusa so the hair options are amazing

It also has lots of cool snakey eye options

Cons

Only one face shape/body type and it's very small and slender

Clothing is again pretty modern leaning

Really not much in the way of skin details or accessories

No brown skintones (skintones are mostly unnatural ones)

Icon Maker by lulljevic

Pros

A couple of different snake hair options and they come in a bunch of colours, some of which have cool patterns like the two shown above

Pretty decent fantasy and historical clothing options (though nothing Ancient Greek looking surprisingly)

Cons

Only one face shape/body type and it's very small and slender

Doesn't have additional snakey details like scales or slitted eyes

Last week's Weekly Tag Wednesday!

Because I was festival prepping last week and had zero time for anything else but now I'm back and ready for some tags! Thank you @wehangout @mmmichyyy @michellemisfit for the tag (and also @deedala & @jrooc for the picrew tags!) <3

Name and A03 handle: lofty / loftec

Current Location: Sofa, living room.

Favorite picrew (don't have one? you can skip this or do this one)? I can't remember if I have a favourite one, so I'll just do this one!

The "SF" probably stands for something, but I immediately thought of Svensk Filmindustri and thought that was fun.

What's one thing you want in a picrew?

MORE GLASSES OPTIONS omg please. Colour and shape. I also really love it when I can build the hair in sections so I can colour my roots differently than the rest of the hair. Also, worse hair options. Come on, normalise 'I've got no hair texture or interest or time to do anything about it'. I feel like an imposter whenever I pick one of these perfectly swooshy dos.

Favourite thing you’ve created (or seen created) for the fandom?

None the wiser

Why is it your favourite? It's mad to think about but it was the first thing I decided to make for this fandom, and I'm still working on it (very very slowly) I don't know if I've ever spent this much time and effort on anything else. It's very special to me.

Did it come easily or was it hard to create? Both, right now it's very hard, but it usually comes back around.

Last ao3 fic you commented on? A Dead Boy Detectives fic, I'm pretty sure.

Biggest WIP heartache you’ve ever experienced? I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't usually read WIPs, not really because they're unfinished but because I don't often read long fic lol. My ideal fic for reading is a concise 5k oneshot, I am a terrible hypocrite.

Favorite trope or head cannon you like included in a fanfic? I do love a good outside perspective on Ian and Mickey's relationship not fully getting their dynamic and misunderstanding their special flavour of love. Also really like different canon-divergent stories where they get separated in different moments and then reunited in the future in various ways.

Least favourite? For most ships / fandoms I read fic of, I usually develop a set of icks that cause me to click out more or less immediately, often it's to do with a certain nickname or expression or act that I can't physically stand, or, you know, which signal a fundamental mismatch between mine and the author's focus/interests/views. Unfortunately, any mention of anything happening after season 5 has become a bit of an ick for me, which is deeply unfair to writers who embrace the later half of the show.

Secret or surprising kink or trope? No, I'm extremely basic tbh. My favourite time to read fic for a new fandom is always at the very start when everybody is writing the same super basic story over and over again.

Describe how you feel after you’ve created something new? The best feeling is when I know I've written the last sentence of a story or a chapter, it's always so clear that this, this is it, that's where it ends. I feel really accomplished and complete in that moment and it's great. Then there's still hours and hours of editing after that and it's usually 4 in the morning and I'm feeling slightly unhinged when I actually post.

Top hype man you have that always helps you get across the finish line: I tend to keep to myself when I'm working on something, but I can always rely on @mittimellan @wideblueskies & @the-rat-wins if I ever need to ramble about anything.

It's been a bad day, you turn to the fandom and you _____? Lurk and enjoy the good vibes and crafts. I probably also find something in my bookmarks that I've already read a thousand times and read it again.

[imabiscuitinthousandworlds]

No pressure obviously but you have this great punk style. Any tips on how to get some outfits together cheap?

Because I'm jealous at my picrew but leather jackets are expensive and stuff like mesh tops are kinda hard to get when you don't want to get everything of amazon.

(Link for credit)

Anything to share? Obviously no pressure :D Just answer in three months or never, whatever you feel like.

Alrighty, so, this obviously depends on how specific you wanna get.

First stop for any clothes is probably a good thrift store. Second hand stuff is great for ethics and unsuspecting finds, at least given you have a proper one around. It's always worth a look.

It depends on how dedicated you are to a leather jacket specifically, because a jeans jacket might also be an alternative, they usually give a similar vibe. If it's blue you can always dye it black, I know there's a variety of complete fabric dyes around, though I haven't used any myself yet.

Other than that, you really need just a base to work with; studs, chains, safety pins (my beloved) are pretty easy to put on yourself. Also it's super fun and you get exactly what you want.

Generally, diy is your friend. If you have a decent base, some imagination, scissors, paints and maybe one or two basic stitch techniques that goes a very long way, it's definitely been enough for me so far.

Mesh tops are a hard one. If you're lucky, you could possibly find one second hand but. Otherwise if you have a relatively sturdy t-shirt that won't fray too much if you cut it, you could cut a bunch of holes in there. It's not half as clean as a proper mesh shirt so depends on your specific aesthetic again. Another option I've actually heard of being used is some punks just very loosely knitting themselves a top like that. Never done either of these myself, though, so it's speculation. Otherwise, maybe there's other online options to buy one that are at least somewhat ethically supportable, but. Not my area of expertise, unfortunately.

If you have any other/specific questions or want help searching some stuff, I'm absolutely up for it! I'm more around the "kinda messy obviously DIY'd punk" aesthetic rather than "cleaner"/darker alt styles, but I'm happy to help with whatever direction you wanna go in.

(Also if anyone sees this and has better answers, please do tell!)

I was tagged by @arkhana

3 ships: How about... Mia/Moreau from Resident Evil Village... Emmet/Johanna from Pokemon... And... (former) Wheeljack/Shockwave from Transformers Cyberverse lol I like a lot of ships. And I know. I’m disappointed that two of these are straight too. But Mia/Moreau is my weird little monsterfucker ship that I and only I enjoy from the RE8 fandom, and I’ve been working on something for my Coordinator!Emmet AU which would eventually (probably) end with Emmet and Johanna getting platonically married to meme on Ingo and for tax benefits lol. Wheeljack/Shockwave is here because I’ve recently been watching Transformers: Cyberverse and Wheeljack and Shockwave are TOTALLY exes and I love it! Shockwave’s probably my favorite character in Cyberverse since its version of Starscream is just... SO BAD! Cyberverse has a good version of Shockwave. Still has that classic loyalty from gen 1, while being an unethical scientist like later iterations. Also he kept his severed hand around and programmed it to float around and do stuff for him, and I find that HILARIOUS! Cyberverse Shockwave is a good iteration of him! Even though his vibes are RANCID lol. Oh, but as a bonus to the person who tagged me, @penquinlori​ and I have talked A LOT about Bernadette Beneviento/Salvatore Moreau as an idea. Basically the idea was that Sal was engaged to Bernadette (Donna’s aunt) some time before he started undergoing the cadou experiments. At some point Miranda took Bernadette for experiments and she died. Sal was away from the village at the time and so was never really made privy to what happened to his fiance. Sal’s brother Mihai may have also been involved in all of this too. It’s all very heartbreaking and I love it. >:3c And we’ve both been working on fic that features this relationship. :p

1st ever ship: I think it must’ve been... Naruto/Hinata from Naruto...? Because that was the first fandom that I like... REALLY got into...? Yeah, boring, I know. Like maybe I shipped May/Ash from Pokemon before that? Hard to say. But I remember shipping Naruto/Hinata pretty hard when I was a kid. Though I did have an OC that I made to be with Gaara lol

last song: If we’re not counting the theme song from the Ghost and Molly McGee or the music from Encanto... According to Spotify the last song I listened to was Smoke Damage by Hi I’m Case. Though I’ve also had Sarah by the Derina Harvey Band and Never Love an Anchor by The Crane Wives stuck in my head lately lol

last movie: Encanto (I just wanted a good cry, you know? Honestly, I didn’t cry as much as I would have liked. I could probably use some more good cries. >.< )

currently reading: Uhhhhhh... I’m REAL bad about reading things. I’m a very slow reader and can mostly only focus on like... Manga... (Which I’ll read a volume in one sitting) so the best I can come up with is like... Metro 2033...? Which I haven’t gotten around to reading in like... Over a year... >.< I guess you can maybe count The Promised Neverland too. I like reading that one when I go to the library.

currently watching: The Ghost and Molly McGee (literally in the other window while I wait for it to load a little lol)

currently consuming: Peppermint tea with chocolate truffles as the sweetener lol

currently craving: Soup and orange juice (will have after I’m done with the tea)

I was also tagged to create myself in in this picrew.

I’m very pleased about all of the options for black people, but man... Not a lot of options for more masculine presenting people who aren’t black in this picrew... Though to be fair, this is a Japanese site and I’m Asian, so I usually have tons of options lol. Little disappointed they didn’t have a darker brown for eyes and hair in this picrew either. :p

Various Picrews Of My Characters

Gonna be kinda long to scroll thru just cuz of the amount of images so im putting it under a read more :)

Just in case you aren't aware. Picrew is a site that hosts artist made character makers. So none of these are my own art. Most of them have a signature on them if you want to look up the artist. If not, ask me and i can probably find the picrew link to give you.

Also as a note: none of these are 100% accurate. Theyre picrews, not my actual art so of course not every detail will be correct.

And another note: OH MY GOD PICREWS ONLY EVER HAVE STRAIGHT HAIR OPTIONS?? WHERE IS THE CURLY HAIR?? ID EVEN SETTLE FOR WAVY??? EVEN JUST SLIGHTLY FLUFFY SO I CAN MAKE ORION?? PLEASE???? But fr anything other than flat sleek hair feels like a godsend. Also good non white skin types??? Pleeeeaaaasssseeeeeee. Its so hard i need smth more than just 30 shades of pale, some non human colors, and then like 2 darker shades which both dont look good. Edit: JUST FOUND ONE THAT JUST????? DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN PAPER WHITE???? Theres just no other skin options, yall im- i cant do this no more.

Young Cherry:

She used to wear all black!! No red or pink at all when her and Sana first met, despite them being her favorite colors.

A softer look for Ai

While she loves the pop of black, white, and gold she gives to her outfits sometimes some softer pastel colors can be a good look as well!

Wyv My Beloved:

He's talking about dragon types :)

Au ideas:

So i have a lot of "Bad End" Aus floating around where Ai does give in to Volo's allure of making a better world. I mean, hasn't she suffered enough? Hasn't she worked hard enough for it? In the end i think all it comes down to is Ai's familial bond with Ingo versus her romantic bond with Volo. Who managed to make a bigger impact on her after she was kicked out by Kamado? If it was Volo then i genuinely think she could be swayed to work with him to confront Arceus. In this particular version of it i think the two would strike a deal. Ai pretends to take on Volo and win. Everything continues as normal up until she fights + captures arceus. Suddenly she's giggling like a madwoman. Volo and her had done it. Arceus was hers. But the two quickly realize it isn't enough power in this sliver of Arceus to actually remake the world. But. It was enough to remake themselves. And to change some things. At this point Ai has mostly regained her memory of modern day, and she wants back. Volo wants into her time as well. It sounds so much better than the miserable place they were stuck. Ai just wants to see Orion again and show him how powerful she's become! And wants NOTHING to do with her dad ever again. So her and Volo reforge their own bodies. Volo changes almost nothing, being who he is this isn't very surprising. Ai just wants her hair color gone. The last reminder of her dad. She wants Orions hair color. Why couldn't she have gotten that to begin with? And while she's at it, Orion always had such pretty eyes. She'll look just like her big brother! (That's who she think Orion is with her not all quite there memory. . An older brother who moved out, leaving her alone with her dad. But she doesn't blame him. She would leave too if she could have.) Ai is someone full of a lot of love. She loves Orion so so So much. And she loves Volo so so So much. But in two very different ways. In this Au they arent exactly....healthy ways. She becomes obsessive. And Volo just feeds into it. He adores how dedicated she is to him. And he's dedicated to her as well. She controls Arceus, and she could beat him in battle so he respects her a LOT. Anyway, they go back to modern times, bringing a VERY concerned Ingo along with them. (Ingo knows they shouldn't be doing this. And Ai seems so... different. But he just wants to go home) When the three arrive in modern Unova Orion and Emmet are relieved but when Orion sees Ai they are.... surprised to say the least. They are greeted by basically a tiny femme version of himself...? Ai seems ecstatic, almost maniacally so, and explains to Orion what happened and introduces Volo. Orion finds something familiar in Volos appearance, but chooses to ignore it for now as more pressing matters are at hand. Orion seems concerned, even somewhat judgemental of Ais actions, but when Ai's anger quickly flares and Volo gets a very dangerous look in his eyes with his hand on a pokeball Orion backs off. Orion can clearly see how unstable Ai is but he doesn't know what to do. One false move and Ai might just remake him as well, changing him to a puppet that fits her fantasy world. Anyway yeah thats where i left off in the daydream lol. This will never be canon but its fun to think of what ifs :)

Young Orion: The teen years

He spent a lot of time with Ai at this point in time and was starting getting serious in his fashion pursuits. Ai was dropped off at him and Aerow's parents house a lot so Orion + his parents could babysit Ai while Aerow and his wife wanted to have a date night. The barretes were placed there by Ai(they were in her hair originally, but toddler Ai knew orion liked stars and so she confidently decided they belonged on him now)

Ai Visits Oliver:

I do have an eventual meet up for Ai, Oliver, Hime, and Wyv planned one day. Despite 3 of them being based in Unova and only one in Galar, Oliver manages to convince them to meet up in Galar if they pay for the travel expenses. (Oliver is uh... a tad loaded after becoming champion) Oliver cannot wait to brag and show them around Galar so they tell the other 3 to bring "nothing but the essentials". Oliver (after FINALLY getting to reveal their the galar champion) then takes them all on a shopping spree to get the clothes they will be wearing in Galar. Oliver manages to convince Ai to get some more dressy clothes while they are out and about.

Nova, A Messy Introduction:

Nova is a name for another OC who i ended up scrapping. But i realized the name Nova fit my character from Violet VERY well. And i wanted to turn her appearance into an OC anyway. (yeah if u ever wonder why my OCs that are the "main" character for that game story are girly looking its cuz i think "pretty" or "cute" looking characters are more fun to play as. Whether that be male of female is fine w me but u usually get better clothing options as a girl character ofc that didnt end up mattering this time around.) Anyway, meet Nova! She is originally from Paldea but moved to Galar with her mom at the age of 7. 6 years later at the age of 13 Nova moved back to Paldea with her mom. This makes her the youngest of any main characters. She is very childlike and innocent in a lot of ways and is also very proper. The idea of being anything other than a perfect mannered kid is somewhat appalling to her. However, her idea of prefect mannered isn't always the same as everyone else's. She doesn't follow rules, she follows morals? in a way? Which 90% of the time lines up with whatever rules are in place. However if something is against the rules but the correct thing to do she won't even consider before she does it. She doesn't really think before acting as she always has her mind made up pretty early on. Very confident but not in an arrogant way. She isn't your typical middle schooler kid and isn't rude or angsty like many others end up being. She is naturally very curious and loves to do well in anything she tries. A bit of Gifted Kid Syndrome and doesn't know how to handle failure. And take all of this w a grain of salt im just brainstorming lol

Ai At A Festival In Hisui:

She would love dressing up and always is planning her outfit to be made at the tailor's the second she hears about an upcoming event. That festival hosted at the end of the game was so much fun and it was wonderful seeing al her hard work paying off.

Bad End Ai Versus Normal Ai:

Quite a difference if i have to say. Normal Ai is still a lil not ok after everything. But she is generally a very well adjusted adult. Just a little prone to panic attacks and could body slam you into next tuesday both physically and in a pokemon battle. Also a lot more confident after everything. But also unable to have confidence in a lot of ways? Like i said she's a lil not ok.

More Nova:

more picrews of the bby. i think either this picrew didnt have the right skin tone for her or i was just tired and forgot to change it lol.

Unnamed Water/Ghost Trainer:

I've drawn her a couple times but have no concrete ideas for her. I just know she has really long hair that looks kinda wet and i wanter her to have "drowned ghost" vibes.

More Wyv!:

I literally love him so much. I wish i could draw dudes easier cuz he's such a great character and i've had so many ideas for his character recently.

Young Ai.... she's so smol...:

Look at how small the bby is. This is an older picrew i did of her, you can tell cuz she still had blue eyes in this one instead of gold. But yeah this is young Ai before she even started dying her hair. She probably still had a pretty good relationship w her dad and was still pretty messed up over the death of her mom but wasn't an overly unhappy kid all things considered.

Another "Bad End" Ai:

So basically, she dies after getting kicked out of Jubilfe. She at first tries to make her way to Ingo but manages to freeze to death in the snowy area after being attacked by a pokemon before reaching him. So she turns into a hisuian zoroark. And yeah basically thats it. She's a ghost now and takes her death out on everyone she can get her hands on. Eventually rumors of the banished member of the galaxy team reach Jubilife and Rei goes out to investigate. She spares him and tells him what happened, promising that when she returns to Jubilfe to take out Kamado that she would leave Rei and Laventon alone. Rei nervously thanks her and on sking legs runs back to the nearest base camp where Laventon is. Rei talks to him and they now have to figure out what to do about her. Basically i just like making Ai turn evil and want revenge on the world. She can have a little murder. As a treat :)

Brooke and Merida:

Two of Olivers friends. They are a tft lesbian couple who specialize in water and fire types respectively. And by that i mean Brooke (the red one) owns a vaporeon as their main pokemon and Meridas (the blue one) ace is a flareon. Yeah. They think its hilarious. Both of em are pretty big gamers and are the only two Oliver would hesitantly admit are better than them at something.

Despite the fact that i could keep adding picrews forever and ever i'm going to stop here as to not make it obscenely long. Expect a part 2 :)

[thisismisogynoir]

(tw racism) Searching up pics for black people and dark skinned characters horror stories: (A) A good chunk of the pictures I've saved seem to have disappeared. Which is part of why I save them bc I may never find them again.

(B) Whenever I search up 'black mermaids' all the options I used to have seem to be gone

(C) having to use more than one search browser

(D) too much time spent searching for pictures of dark skinned characters in wheelchairs. The ones I found are OCs or characters in one specific drawing style. Nothing wrong with ocs but why no non OC dark skinned wheelchair characters?

(E) It's hard to find pics of more than one dark skinned character

(F) I have to rely on racebended art a lot. There's nothing wrong with racebend but I'd also like original black characters too

(G) I just searched up dark skinned kid. Most of my results were adults.

(H) I spent HOURS looking for non-sexualized (okay, any pictures bc there's like 5, but also non sexualized) pictures of dark skinned muscular girls

(I) varying my search multiple times (J) Searched up black character/comic. Gets WHITE (or asian) characters or dark comics.

(K) Searched up brown eyed characters. Gets a lot of green/blue eyed. Searched up blue eyed/green eyed characters. Gets a lot of brown eyes.

(L) Barely any black princesses except tiana

(M) barely any black girls in long dresses (N) sometimes I have to be less specific (aka can't search up more than one specific-like eyes, dresses, hair color,etc-at a time) to get anything

(O) Having to rely on stock photos bc they're the only option

(P) Having to make compromises and use photos that are similar to my ocs and yet not completely right bc it's the only option

(Q) I once couldn't find a picture of a black haired boy with green eyes. I remember the hair color was wrong, and the one photo I found didn't really look like my OC (R) Somehow, the internet has gotten both better and worse. I can find the stuff I used to be unable to find, but everything else went bye bye (S) Struggled to find any dark skinned male mermaids. I think one of the few I found was pjo fanart. (T) No black fat mermaids in wheelchairs-I was looking for a picture to show a friend too

(U) Limited plus sized girl options (V) started using doll divine and picrew because they're easier than looking for what I want

(W) I got burnt out from looking for pics and looking for pics (provided there's options) is fun (X) Staring enviously at the multiple pics that would fit my criteria but they're white

(Y) less dark skinned girls with non-black hair than white girls

(Z) White character pics having better stuff overall + being easier to search for + I can find what I want provided it's white

(1) only one art style

Stop that's so sad!!! 😔

I agree with all of these especially F, G, and H. J reminds me of when I look up stuff related to Black girls but instead get white or Asian girls with black hair, K is fucking with you and L and M are just...sigh.

Best of luck though for when you do find anything!

Phineas in Picrews

Because I cannot draw, I spend a lot of time using Picrews and apps like Lily Diary creating my characters to help solidify what they look like (contained in the context of whatever style I find). And of course, the MAJORITY of them are anime/manga style, so they all end up looking much younger and more cartoony than I prefer, but here's some good ones I found to create Mr Morgan.

(The first two since they don't have the creator's name in there)

Finn's hair is pretty consistently more like the third one's (soft and wavy/fluffy over spiky/ruffled), but his defining physical characteristics are that he is a bit androgynous in the face and that he has albinism (lacks pigment in skin/eyes/hair). Because he is so specific looking it's hard to find the right creator to capture just how pale he actually is alongside the androgyny - that third option is as close as I could find so far to capture MOST of his attributes without appearing too overtly masc/fem. I can usually only find red for the eye colour on most of these as well, but his eyes are pinkish typically - he is a "real" person after all, and most people with albinism don't have DARK red eyes, they're usually a pinkish/violet and appear red in photos most often. Essentially I just work with what I can find to get close enough.

It is FUN to make these, I'll admit, because I really like putting some life into the characters this way They're names on a document for me the majority of the time and live solely in my head from the pages, so giving Phineas facial expressions, clothes, features, etc. is really enjoyable!

I will share Manny and Vi in the weeks to come - funnily enough I found some Picrews from a creator that captured each of them pretty perfectly, I'm so pleased!

your valentine's date is... LISA

Lisa’s a cafe girlie

She absolutely would just love to pikc your brain for hours, so cafe dates are so fun with her

She never runs out of things to talk about, so it’s nice to listen to her talk or answer her many questions

She’s a scholar at heart, just let her think out loud for a while

Maybe she’ll bring something along the lines of a lad libs book for you two to play if you get bored

Those can get interesting with her

She insists on paying for your drinks at the cafe, there’s no other option 

Don’t argue, she’ll win

She’ll tell you all about the latest gossip she’s heard in the library, specifically from a certain loudmouth kaeya who loves to share any and all dirt he has on anyone with lisa

They do lunch once a week to catch up, she repays him by looking the other way when he has a friend in the back corner of the library after hours

If you’re not particularly in the mood for talking, she’ll do a lot of talking at you until she gets tired

Help her home and make her some more tea while she rests. Expect a lot of soft looks and “i love you”s

I have a chronically ill lisa agenda and i will spread it 

Anyway she’s very soft when the two of you re home by yourselves <3 she’ll flirt with you to try to embarrass you, but she always ensures you feel loved and knows how much she cares for you

Resources for faceclaims/forms

A whole bunch of character creator resources for anyone trying to find their perfect faceclaim/form (Or just want to play dressup games all night XD) Sorry I couldn't put pictures for all of them since the limit is 10. If anyone knows of any more feel free to let me know if you want.

Artbreeder

Website, Realistic

Artbreeder is a website that lets you make face claims by mashing different faces and facial features together. Sometimes the results are a bit weird but it's super fun to use. You can merge faces and use gene sliders to make unique AI generated faces that can look real or like a painting. There are also anime and furry versions but they don't work as well.

Link: artbreeder.com

Picrew

Website, All styles

Picrew is a website where people upload their own character creators and there are 1000s of them. Most people have heard of this website and many of the creators have pride flags. It can be accessed on both phone and computer. (Link)

Meiker

Website, Varied

Similar to picrew but it's more focused on clothing and dress up. Many of them are full body and focus more on fashion than being the perfect character creator. (Link)

Doll divine (+Rinmaru)

Website, Varied

A website with many character creators and dressups. Some made by the creator and some by other artists, older dress ups are still being converted from flash to html. This website also hosts dressups for other creators but has her own exclusive collection. (Link)

Pastelkatto

Website and a few apps, stylized

(Formerly missangest) Is a website/app creator who makes themed character makers such as 'Monster girl dollmaker' and 'Assassin dollmaker' in html. Most of these dollmakers are feminine in style. The creator also hosts dollmakers from others on her site. (Link)

Azaleas dolls

Website, Stylized

This one is similar to doll divine and Pastelkatto. Some of her old dress ups still require flash but newer ones are being made with HTML. Like the other two this website hosts dressups made by other people and most are feminine in style. (Link)

Vroid

App/desktop program, anime mostly..

Vroid runs on both android and desktop but the desktop version is very in-depth, you can edit textures and sculpt hair so the options are infinite. If you have a little knowledge on blender and unity you can upload your models to vrchat and let your headmates walk around and socialize without appearance dysphoria (I've done this myself it's super fun.) I recommend Argama witch's tutorials if you have never made a model before.

You can download it here (Link) or on steam, find/buy already made assets here (Link) and can see other peoples models here (Link)

Custom cast

App, Anime

This is a cute anime style 3d modeler app, it's similar to the android version of vroid but as far as I'm aware you can't upload these to vrchat. There is a face tracking option meant for vtubing though. You can create both male and female characters.

Sims4

Game, Semi-realistic - realistic

I don't recommend getting this game just for the "create a sim" as the unmodded base game doesn't have too much variety. You can build houses too. (Link)

Heroforge

Website, 3d cartoonish

This is a website mostly meant for ttrpg characters, you can customize a 3d figure with lots of options for weapons and armor. There are also options for 3d printing. (Link)

Kisekae

Program(pc), Anime

This is a bit hard to access but has a lot of options. Most of the clothes and body options are feminine leaning. This game does have some explicit 18+ options and ads.

Here's a guide on how to download (Link)

Lunaii Dollmaker

Website, pixel anime

An old pixel avatar maker. Has a good amount of options but is only a face portrait. It has both feminine and masculine styles and a cool color picker. (Link)

Old flash dressups

Swf, varied

These are tricky to access these days, but if you download an older version of flash you will be able to play these old .swf file games. Here's (link) a guide for that by Doll divine, you can also use a method for the older dressups of Doll divine and Azaleas dolls.

You can mostly download these on deviant art, here are some specific ones.

Mew mew creator

This is a flash dress up based around the show Tokyo mew mew, it has a color picker and tons of options for animal ears, wings and tails. The base and clothing style is feminine. The creator is Hapuriainen. You can download it here (Link)

School dress up

This one is basically like the Tokyo mew mew one but with school clothes. This one is also by Hapuriainen. You can download it here (Link)

Gen8's Chibi maker

This one is just a simple chibi maker with limited colors but a great range of clothing and features. (Link)

Dragon maker

A dragon maker with a color picker and tons of options by Wyndbain (Link)

[mishkakagehishka]

Guess who got himself a profile

Template made by unfinished-projects-galore, sprite made using this picrew (with slight colour adjusting on my side).

More information, explanations, and further ramblings about the creation process under the cut

Starting with the name, Jure. His full name is Juraj, a Slavic equivalent of "George", but he goes by Jure because I love the concept of yuusonas with names that start with the "yuu" sound, whereas Juraj is a short yu </3

I edited the sprite to be a smidge darker, so it seems a bit awkward, but the skin colour options didn't have much of a range OTZ he's Mediterranean, so he has a tan.

Despite being a first year in Night Raven College, I've made him 18 purely because I thought it'd be funny if he just graduated secondary school, only to be thrown into another one. By my canon, he got isekai'd barely an hour after finishing his last school end exam. The birthday was chosen randomly, as with all my OCs, and his height fits the lower-end of the average height of young men in southern Croatia. I have to find a way to excuse the fact that Floyd would call him Little Shrimpy, but I think Floyd can and would use irony sometimes.

He is good at embroidery and does it as a hobby because I love when male characters are good at domestic things his grandmother taught him when he was a child, and the learning process is one of his fonder memories. He mostly does traditional embroidery, and often uses it to mend clothes as well as just for decoration. He's Croatian, specifically from the Dalmatia region, because I just thought it'd be funny to have a Dalmatian in Crewel's class. Get it, because- because Crewel is twisted from Cruella and- and Jure is Dal-

Similarly to the age reasoning, I decided he'd be a bit of a neat-freak because I wanna make him suffer a bit tbh and he would likely get a heart attack when entering Ramshackle for the first time. He's also a generally doubtful person; he doesn't like superstitions and magic, cards and astrology, all of those things that can't exactly be proven by numbers. That's why he has a hard time adjusting to the world of Twisted Wonderland, too. He also doubts people, Jure isn't the most trusting person, which makes it harder for him to make deep connections with people. I gave him those two traits because I figured it'd make for an interesting character arc - being forced to cooperate with ADeuce and even Grim, whom he'd known for mere days by the time Riddle overblots, and later with the rest of the first years and other characters would be good to make him a more open and trusting person. Likewise, being thrust into a world where magic exists might make him a more, how do I say, open-minded person? Suddenly having all of his beliefs and assumptions flipped on their head like that, I mean. Anyway, despite all that hatred for the unprovable, Jure's best friend was really into astrology and he's picked up some things about it, which made him seem like a natural talent at the subject, much to his chagrin.

I usually make game OCs only after I finish the entire game, but alas. I'll flesh out his arc completely once Diasomnia comes out, but for now, here's the general overview of who he is at the beginning of the story, and what I want to make of him by the end.
