First big piece of 2024!
The otter pirates return to base after a period of pillaging, being greeted by all their allies watching over the island.
Zoomed in shots + bonus captions below the cut.
Shipwrights, Wright & Umi getting ready to begin their routine maintenance on The Oyster.
+bonus Bones, a shady hyena doctor that probably got sued for medical malpractice at one point
Cannoneer Flint beginning his work on stronger weapons to outfit the ship with while Frank, a rat in multiple meanings, takes inventory and makes a list of supplies he needs to obtain.
The lovely thief Tetra, waiting patiently after sharpening her knife
Caretaker Betty, front-and-center greeting her favorite people as Kenji strikes a victory pose on his way down the gangplank
And finally, a happy Daisy enjoying their warm welcome + a tired captain & otter of Betty's affection, Baldric, coming down the plank last!
i first got into the wtc fandom like 4 years ago and it’s so crazy that my desire to actually buy and play the games lasted this long. I feel like finishing umineko is a dream come true and my inner child is happy but i also understand it much better than what i understood from it as a tiny teen.
Random thought but I remember i wrote a pretty edgy au about George at that time because how him and Shannon were constantly ripped apart saddened me (I only watched the anime at that point mind you). I decided to make him a Sorcerer of Sorrow (I was 14) and his symbolic things were silver hyacints. I don’t remember his story well but it was smth about Bernkastel tricking him and yea stuff like that
Sometimes i remember him and think about redrawing him. I’m scared of reading his story because I’d most likely cringe at least a little bit but it was a massive au and i’m saving it to honor my younger self’s attempts to create something. Without silly things like this I probably wouldn’t be here with several oc stories i’m proud of, but also i would’ve probably forgotten about wtc as well.
Looking back at my ramblings i find it quite silly how i fit so many things in this post when i just wanted to write about the hyacints my mom got me today haha. Yeah they reminded me of Sorrow!George but now I’m filling them up with music from the Ikutoh playlist.
In the end for this post to have a deeper meaning: Don’t shame your young self for writing cringey stuff, at that point in life they thought that was the real deal and these clumsy steps are what help you to grow as an artist. Also flowers are great to use in stories for symbolism. Did you know that hyacints symbolise sorrow and a desire for forgiveness? They also symbolise joy, sincerety and purity btw.
Rainbow Dragon's back with yet another original character Intro post! This time 'round, I've created Umi Acquarone! An aquatic TWST OC for a marine event being hosted on the Twisted Wonderland Amino and thought I'd share her here too! She's also my first non-Ramshackle dorm OC! So, let's go meet her shall we? 😋😂
Umi is a girl who doesn't like change all that much. She spends most of her time underwater and is where she feels most comfortable. Worried that their child wouldn't ever venture out her comfort zone, they made the decision to gently nudge her to do so...by enrolling her at Night Raven Academy without her knowledge. Although she doesn't like doing things that make her uncomfortable, she hates thinking that she's disappointing her parents so she goes willingly.
Though, it does take her a bit of time to get used to her human form. Especially when it comes to walking.
She refuses to anything that covers her feet and doesn't much like hats either. Umi tends to wear the least amount of layers she can get away with, which is why her school and dorm uniforms are noticeably different from her dorm mates.

For this OC, she isn't directly twisted from anyone but instead based on characters from Disney Pixar's Luca.
Coffin Icon:
Like Una (https://rainbowdragonsworld.tumblr.com/post/686760625062461440/hi-hey-rainbow-dragons-back-with-another), I didn't know what to put on her coffin icon. I debated over it for the longest time (perhaps TOO long 😅) and decided on a hand that is half sea monster and half human to reflect her transformation abilities. I tried matching the colours of the other Octavinelle coffin icons the best I could.
Candy:

I don't actually know what this is used for in-game since I can't play it, but I've seen all the candy of the canon characters and many content creators create OCs with candy so I thought I'd give it a try. Just ended up doing a toothy smile because she likes to smile a lot, especially when she's in her comfort zone which is why the teeth are sharper, to reflect her sea monster teeth.
