!! !! !! (go bestie show ur blorbos to the world)
xo i owe you my life and i forgor to post this bc i wrote it on my phone and i wanted to post art with it
1. Clementine Zhang (she/her)
What Is There To Be Said About Clem. she's autistic she's adhd she's a mechanical genius she's dumb as fuck she's funny she's insane i love her i want to yeet her through a window
she was from a fairytale curses rpg and her curse was sleeping beauty, aka Getting A Full Night Of Sleep which iirc was predicated by her girlfriend being mad that she worked too hard
she has a mechanical horse which she is so bad at pretending is a real horse. the horse's name is peninsula. it only eats oil
she was named after clementine kesh bc partizan was starting around the time we started playing that. i sketched her appearance for the first time when i was with my mom in the hospital after her surgery. she's SUCH a product of her time
she's an older sister and she's forever mad she's short while her little brother is tall as fuck. her brother went away to school for years and she forgot about him (aka i forgot about him) until he showed up with a fairy wife and a Baby
in the modern au she's just a weird horse girl who's into engineering and scoots everywhere
the funniest part about clem is that me and lav roleplayed AND WROTE her and her girlfriend getting together in a dumb way and then we got together in a similar, somehow dumber way. the dynamics are damn near identical. clem and lia were INSTRUMENTAL for my relationship.
2. Dig Iwatani (he/him)
MY SKRUNKLIEST SCRIMBLO i hate dig i love dig he's the worst Twink ever
so dig started because i wanted to do a star crossed lovers thing when i gmed a space opera rpg and i needed an Antagonist so i made the boy's older sibling be an absolute BITCH of a gay. he's the crown prince he's the golden child he's the worse he's their dad's favorite he's willing to commit murder he's the heir to a fucking mining planet (that's why he's called dig) he used to be with the prince of the whole galactic empire. he's a bitch and i love him so much.
dig in the au is much more interesting imo because while i love princes the dichotomy between him being the heir to his dad's fortune AND being gay is more interesting irl so of course i made his dad, and consequently, dig, homophobic. and then his whole development came from @mira-miranha and i thinking ha wouldn't it be fun if he met this very unapologetically queer character
and then we went wait a minute. what if they Dated
and now i have multiple thousands of words about him overcoming his repression and his guilt and becoming proud of himself and letting go of the caretaker role he assumed for his siblings :) i love him so much i think he deserves the world
3. Galle Boucher (she/her)
I NEVER GET TO TALK ABOUT GALLE
she's such a creature. originally she was part of an amnesia rpg (you know that thing where you don't know your character traits and you have to figure it out little by little) and she was a knight and also a homunculus but that party became incredibly weird morally so she ended up becoming a knight of death herself???? her family is cheese farmers and her appearance was based off of that zendaya joan of arc look and she was ready to fuck
translating that into the au became so much. so she's still from a family of french cheese farmers but in a trip to the uk when she was 16 she got slammed by a car and lost her memory. so this weird dutch guy witnessed the accident and called emergency and all that and he felt responsible for her. so after that near death experience she didn't really feel a connection with her home anymore and became a goth and got adopted by the dutch guy who's not even that much older than her. now she's in mortician school, fucking her rich professor and her wife and the most recent development is of course that she's also fucking/dating nadia whom i love and whom is also rich as fuck from being a mafia princess. actually the most recent development is that she and her dad got a golden retriever named croissant. she's also a boxer and she's now on her way to becoming a wrestler. think about that one lady wrestler who's all goth and shit? that's the exact vibes for galle. her full name is gallebrie anne-marie boucher.
there's a whole thing i wrote about galle where she's gone back to her hometown and she finds out her ex girlfriend is now married with a baby in the way and she's taking care of her mom but she cant remember anyone's names. that was a fun experiment and when i know french i want to rewrite that
thank u for the ask xo sorry i took so long to answer <3
The funniest part of this, for me, is that Andy chose the OC’s I’m directly connected to, because:
1- Clem and Lia got together because my character in that rpg was a very nice and gentle monk lady that was staying with them for a while and she saw everything happening and was very confused and asked Lia about “the girlfriend”. Basically Priya, my character, helped Lia ask Clem out and it was a whole deal.
2- Well, Andy already said in the text that in the AU we went goblin mode with Dig and my boy Hypnos, but in the OG universe Dig was my character’s ex-boyfriend. And I love that it translates to the AU as in they had a thing while in summer camp (when dig “found out” about his sexuality) and then they went their separate ways only for Dig’s sister to be obsessed with Ren (the summer camp fling, aka my character) because he is now in a kpop group.
3- Well, I was actually the one that created Galle because I was the GM for the “Amnesia” campaign. As Andy said in the post, Galle was inspired by the classic beautiful Zendaya Joan of Arc look. But at some point during her creation I was like, “ hmmm what I i fuse her with Lust from FullMetal Alchemist???” And this is how Galle was born. The whole relation with the “random Dutch guy” also came from the rpg since the homunculus transformation of the body that once was Galle was made by Maesther (that was made for Lav and was inspired by Howl from… well… Howl’s Moving Castle). So in the AU they both agreed hat Maesther will adopt Galle, otherwise it gets weird. Also, death was played by another friend of ours in the rpg and they dated karma in both universes, in the AU tho they are both teachers at this one university.
And eventually everyone will find the entire RPG team. Because I'm also connected to all this characters.
1- Clem's girlfriend and curse giver, Lia, is my character. I don't talk about her much but I love her a lot. She is a covener, a being that is able to control all spheres of magic. Instead she focused in using heat magic to become a blacksmith. Because she doesn't use the other magics a lot, the curse backfired, so both of them were cursed and if they didn't break it basically the eternal sleep was going to happen.
In the AU, Clem and her are childhood best friends and after a series of unsuccessful confessions, they finally got together. Lia is also a fencing champion who kicks everyone with the only leg she has.
She styles her own prosthetics and they look very art nouveau.
Also, yes, we wrote together the fic of Clem and Lia getting together in the AU and started dating a week later.
2- I love this boy so much. Okay, with Dig we have two very distinctive and important connections: Shallow and Arachne.
Shallow is Dig's brother's brother in law, this man is extreme AroAce and freaked out when Dig made out with him in a party. The one kiss for life to never again. In the AU this also happened, but Shallow freaked out for that and different reasons.
Arachne is Dig's evil BFF in the AU. They were paired to get together, rich people deals and stuff, but both of them are extremely totally gay. They pretended to date for a while just to cause chaos.
We have an AU of the AU (aka the Lavender AU), focused in their life if they got actually married.
3- As @mira-mirach already mentioned, Maesther, based in Howl from Howl's moving castle, is Galle's death father. Post-mortum dad I guess, she came back to life.
In the AU he saw the accident and was like "I WILL CARE FOR THIS YOUNGLING", so this random 27 year old adopted a 16 year old. He is the theater teacher, very dramatic, does cosplay and a bunch of other stuff. He learned French by listening repeatedly to the LesMis soundtrack, and probably some duolingo.
