Charlie calling Milo at 1 am to ask him random shit is one of my favorite genres of oc jokes-

He's not going to fall asleep for a while anyways, given how much coffee he consumes, so she takes advantage of it. 💀

Extra:

Milo: "...Charlie, why do you have that as your contact name for me?"

Charlie: "...think about it for a while Einstein, I'm sure it'll dawn on ya eventua-"

Charlie: "EY GIMME MY PHONE BACK-"

Doodle dump! The first 3 doodles are the last drawings I made on my phone.

I never showed Mina with both eyes visible, which is literally just because I forgot to do it. There's no lore reason why her eye is covered, I just wanted to make her design look interesting.

I doodled Charlie to see how she'd look like with a nose, and I decided that I'll stick with it for her redesign because I think she's far easier to draw with one... maybe I'll change the shape of it later on, dunno, I'm experimenting-

This one is just a random girl I drew at 2 am-

Now, here's some of the first tablet art I made while trying to figure out how to use it.

First up is a very messy doodle of @breadinvader's oc Sage which is literally an irl pic I took of the tablet screen-

More doodles of Bread's oc's-

Doodle of a plush I own and Pusheen with two Charlie doodles and Bread's oc in the corner.

That's it for the first doodle batch, I got more of my own oc stuff too but I'll post it seperately!

Under the cut is a massive ramble that I NEED to get out of my system, because a lot has changed in the last two months or so-

Also the oc stuff on my blog has been looking like this and it's been bugging me to no end so I wanna explain some stuff below- 💀

#1

After 4-5 years of drawing on my phone with my finger, I spent my savings on a drawing tablet. It's been a giant wish of mine to have one for ages, but I never really worked up the courage to do it since it's a big financial decision and I always feel guilty about spending money... but, after months of intense contemplating I did it!

Buuut I did have a few mental breakdowns once it arrived... long story short, turns out that you can't connect a HP PC with the tablet using the USB-c cable that you get with the tablet, because the USB-c port of the PC doesn't support an additional screen display.

I did look up if you can connect them beforehand, and the internet told me that the answer is yes. You can't trust anything these days bro- 💀💀💀

After A LOT of back and forth and me trying to return the tablet because I can't use it without it being connected to the PC, they told me that I can't return it. Than after EVEN MORE back and forth, we found out that it would work with a completely different cable that I had to order seperately. I had just about enough money left for it, so I ordered it, and then it was peace and love on planet earth because it finally works now.

#2

Also, I needed a free drawing programm I could use, but problem was that my old app, Sketch Draw And Paint, has the most simple layout and functions it can have, so I was used to simplicity.

When I tested out GIMP, Krita, Inkspace and FireAlpaca, I could not wrap my head around how they worked and my lazy ass didn't feel like watching a bunch of tutorials... I was like bro let's find one that I can figure out on my own, it can't be that complicated. 💀

Everyone thank MediBang Paint for being simple enough for me to understand... if MediBang Paint has 0 fans I'm dead fr. From now on, all of my art will be drawn in MediBang Paint and on the tablet.

Is my art any better? Idk but I'm having fun so far, experimenting with stuff, slowly getting towards actually getting some oc stuff done...

...and, speaking of oc stuff...

#3

...I'm going to explain what I plan to work on in the future for each of my oc's, so, let's get started.

Mina - I'm not going to be making any more main character eene oc's, I only gotta design Mina's aunt and a different side character and add them to the characters in her lore and that's it. Mina's story is by far the most simple out of everyone. She'll just get 1 or 2 fics. This doesn't mean that I don't love her, trust me I've had some crazy ideas for her lore, but I've decided to keep it simple, because it makes sense given who Mina is.

Milo and CJ - For the sake of telling you my versions of Seasons 3 and 4 of mf, I have to slightly redesign each canon character from the main cast, figure out how to draw them and write some new lore for them, while using any info I found to characterize them somewhat properly.

I watched and overanalyzed the entirety of the webisodes and the alternative versions of them, as well as the Nickelodeon show, and I looked through the website and the wiki, all for the sake of writing down ANY piece of information I can get about the lore of this show and the characters, because I really needed to have something to work with.

I rearranged S1 a bit and put together a S2 with the webisodes. I'll talk about this eventually.

I won't be making any new main character oc's for this one, only background characters. I'm planning to write S3 and S4 in the form of fics.

Sunny and Molly - For this one I have to add a bunch of secondary and background characters, but we don't need those to begin the story, they'll be relevant later. I'm currently trying to piece together episodes and which goes where so that I can start writing it. I also gotta analyze the website a bit more, to get a feel of how to somewhat properly write the canon characters. I also have a seperate wh oc story idea in mind that I wanna get to eventually as well.

Charlie - I have to remake Charlie's intro, slightly redesign her, add 4 additional main characters, also secondary and background characters but those will be relevant later... Charlie shares her story with a bunch of other oc's. This one will definitely take me the longest, and it's the last thing on my waiting list, because I wanna tackle the easier ideas first. I do also have a seperate sm oc story in mind that I wanna get to as well.

Piper - I don't exactly know what I'm gonna do yet. I wanna see how tadc plays out, and then I'll work on setting some stuff in stone. I do have some ideas and concepts in mind, but I'm not sure in what direction I should go with it, depends upon how the story in the show will play out. (I probably won't wait for the whole show to be done, but at least 1-2 more eps would kinda help me understand where it's going.) I will work on some of the ideas tho.

As of now, I don't plan to make any new oc's for any other fandoms, mostly because I haven't gotten a good enough idea for anything yet, but also because I really wanna work towards polishing the oc's I already have.

I am setting stuff up so that I can start writing the fics. I have no idea how long this will take me, given that I got irl responsibilities to take care of too, but I'll try my best to get it done eventually.

And that's it. I hope you'll have a nice day! 💕

This is so random but I love it sm 💀💀💀💀💀

You did a really good job with drawing Molly!! :00

You got all of her details!! It's really nice!! She looks really good in your lineless style!! :DD

This is 100% accurate- 💀💀💀

I love how casual she is about flying through the sky without any assistance- 💀💀💀

No one:

Molly:

:''DD Anyways-

Thank you so so so so so much for the drawing!!! :DD 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛

The first image was literally me after opening Tumblr and seeing this post, this really made my day!!! :'> 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

@glitch-pep, saw this poster on Twitter and with a quote like that I coudn't resist doing an edit with Molly.

OG under the cut.

You know that off site friend I always mention? I'm always referring to the same person, and I wanted to gift her something, so I gathered the sketches I made of her oc's over the course of this year, got a bunch of magazine cut outs and stickers and made a scrapbook.

It took me 3 days, it's really messy with A LOT of tape cuz I didn't have a glue stick and it looks far better irl. My camera is absolute trash and I couldn't take better pictures. 💀

But, I really like how it turned out! :D 🩷💜💙

Edit: My friend ended up making a Tumblr account! Here it is: @breadinvader

nature is beautiful

YOOOOO THIS LOOKS SO COOL!! :DDD 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥

Thank you so so so much for drawing Piper and Charlie!! :DD ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

They both look as fabulous as ever!! I like how ya added Charlies catchphrase, and the bubble's for Piper, you don't miss out on adding any details and I think that's really neat!! :>

I like how Piper is leaning on the border, and how Charlie is holding onto hers, I love it whenever artists make the characters use the borders in some way, it makes it look really fun!! :D 🎉

I'm sorry that Charlie gave ya trouble, I struggle to draw her sometimes too-

I like how you actually gave Charlie a nose, I never imagined what she'd look like with one cuz of the sm art style having no noses-

Everyone else looks great as well!! I love everyone's poses and expressions!! Especially Trucy, she looks really pretty in this style! :3 ✨

Keep cooking, this looks great! 💕

And it's done!!! (click for better quality)

Thanks to everyone that lent me an OC, I loved drawing them all ❤️❤️❤️

Let's get into the process of Sunny's creation! I seperated it into two parts under the cut. ❤️

Final version of the design:

Old versions of these two drawings:

#1

Ok, so, the story behind Sunny's creation is actually an interesting one.

Basically, some time last year I had the idea to create an Opposite AU for my oc's, which would have essentially been an au where all of my oc's would be the complete opposite of who they are.

I gave up on the idea of it, because I realized how much of a spoiler it would be for some of the oc's stories if I turned everything on its head.

Molly Moon, was turned into Sunny Sunrise. Thing is, this version of Sunny was very different from the one we have now. I actually saved the description I wrote down, please note that some of this stuff is NOT CANON anymore. Here:

[I'll keep it short, the whole unused character thing still stands, but, instead of it being aired before nightime it was supposed to be aired in the morning. Sunny's segment, named: "Way to start the day" was entirerly focused on her favorite thing: the world finally waking up! In the segment she would mostly teach children about the importance of a healthy breakfast and not oversleeping every day. She would also do some simple morning exercises. Personality wise, Sunny is harsh with her words and loud with them at that. Overly confident with a massive ego, she thinks she's the most important person in the room at all times. And she's not even slightly suddle with anything. No matter how mean her opinion is, you will hear it, and she'll think you're blessed to hear it from her. Even though she has a sharp memory, she purposefully doesn't bother to remember things that she thinks are unimportant. Her main gag would be that she's so loud at times that the intensity of the sound can break anything around her. She's fast on her feet and with her actions, and always has in mind exactly what she wants. Her main room would be "The Bathroom" which has a comically large mirror so that she can see herself in full glory no matter where she's walking in the room. "The Kitchen" would be the second room. Catchphrase: "Rise and shine! It's time for breakfast, and you get to feast upon your favorite eye-candy, me!~"]

After I scraped this au idea, I kinda just forgot about Sunny. A while later I was working on Molly's lore, during which I created a character whose concept I still find interesting.

Her name was Sammy Starshine, a parody of Sally Starlet. Yes, an actual parody character which the canon would've been aware of, this character was basically a big ongoing gag. She was based on this beta version of Sally, but her head was some sorta different star instead:

Personality wise she was actually kinda mean and overly bossy, with Molly being the only one who could really stand her, because Sammy was only nice to her. The whole trying to ruin Sally's life concept was actually a thing at this point too. I had a very specific plot for her story in mind, and I like it a lot so I won't talk about it, because I wanna reuse it somewhere else. Sammy influenced the overall story A LOT, even though she's not a thing anymore.

A while later I realized that I wanna do this character differently, and then the Sunny Sunrise we know today was slowly created, after I decided to reuse the Molly Opposite AU concept, but give her a far nicer personality.

And that's about it, I'm glad that I figured it out.

#2

I thought of Sunny a long time before I started to work on her, and the original design idea I had for her did not end up making the final cut.

She was always gonna have a sun head, and eyes that were basically Molly's eyes upside down and more roundish, with spiky eyelashes that bend upwards, unlike Molly's which are round and bend downwards. Also, her nose being that shape is supposed to kinda resemble a sun dial.

For her head colors it was basically "Like Sally but different shades." I was slightly afraid that her and Sally would look too similar, but I'm glad that they don't.

The outfit is what gave me the most trouble.

Originally she was gonna have a rainbow scarf with clouds at the ends, but I couldn't do that because of her head situation. I still like the scarf design idea, I might reuse it somewhere else.

Also, she was gonna have an off the shoulder top instead instead of a sweater, and a skirt. Those two clothing items were originally pink, but I ended up changing it because I realized that it made no sense, given the fact that Molly is primarily blue, which meant that I needed to make Sunny also blue if I wanted a two of them to fit together.

Unlike Molly she is light blue while Molly is dark blue, which is an obvious reference to the clear blue sky and then the night sky. Also in the same way that Molly has different shades of dark blue Sunny also has different shades of light blue. Like Molly, Sunny also has a cloud motif.

Since Molly has the sheep on her pajamas I wanted to give Sunny a bird somewhere in her design to parallel Molly but thing is I couldn't for the life of me figure out where to put it. Since I couldn't fit it into the character design I instead put it onto her house. I also put a bird somewhere else, but I'll show you that some other time. (I'll talk about the lore connected to the birds in a different post.)

I went for shorts instead of a skirt because I had no character that wore shorts in their main outfit and I wanted to mix it up, and also I thought that shorts were far more sporty than skirts.

The bow was a random addition that I fell in love with as well as the beauty mark. I gave the bow the little ribbons on the side cuz it gives me ninja vibes.

She was always supposed to be carrying a rainbow bag around but it looked bad and the heart bag version of it was too difficult to draw so I just decided to get rid of it.

The shoes gave me a lot of trouble because originally she wore boots with big white leg warmers which were supposed to go together with the clouds on her sweater. And they did but I didn't like that design and I couldn't figure out what to do with it.

Eventually I decided to change the boots into sneakers and give her rainbow socks. I still didn't like it because there was too much blue in the design.

Then I changed the shoe colors to be blue and black, and that's where it clicked. I made the shoes completely mismatch, with a rainbow sock on one leg and the leg warmer on the other.

I knew that I had to put a rainbow somewhere but I was struggling to figure out where, the sock was a good solution for this.

Unlike Molly who is completely covered, Sunny has both her shoulders and legs exposed, to show that she's more open and extroverted than Molly.

The fingerless gloves were an idea that I've had since the beginning, I was debating on what type of gloves it should be but I just went for the regular type at the end.

I did have the idea of giving her fake fangs and that she wears them cuz she's convinced that it makes her look more evil and scary, but I scraped that idea cuz she ended up looking too silly with them.

At one point I tried to completely change the outfit to make her wear an over the shoulder cloud jacket instead, which wasn't a bad idea in concept but I butchered it in execution so bad that I just scraped it. I might reuse this idea one day.

And, that's about it. She's honestly one of my favorite character designs I've made so far!

GDGJMJGGN 💀💀💀

Sunny: "Y'know, I heard that people are shipping us!"

Molly: "Oh, to where? I've never been on a ship before-"

Alright since my off site friend actually really ships these two, I made up a ship name for them: moonrise.

Moon + Sunrise (Their last names.)

I can't confirm whether it'll be canon or not but she was really into the idea so I'm rolling with it for funsies-

I was gonna post this during pride month but I didn't to avoid spoiling Sunny-

Also, there's a small bonus under the cut.

It's these two post note doodles that I drew separately initially, but they ended up looking really cute next to each other. 🧡☀️🌛💙

"she believes she is at the very top" <- prev tags

Y'know, I don't think it was clear when I made the Sunny posts, but...

Sunny's motivation to make these plans doesn't come from the fact that she herself believes that SHE'S at the very top, no.

It comes from the fact that Sally is such a constant (maybe even arrogant, sometimes) show off that it pisses Sunny off.

Sunny would be perfectly fine with, hell, even being last place. She doesn't really care about it. Yes, she used to be unhappy with only second place, but she's changed since then.

She's trying to one up Sally to become number one just to spite her, to rub it into her face.

This motivation is clear during the episodes, but it'll be a while till we get to those so I wanted to put this out there-

Since Sally is a star, what would she think of the many stars in the sky at night?

As beneath her!

🎊¡¡¡Funky outfit time!!!🎊

Through all the ways you survive this phase,

it is unrewarding every day!~

You are caught in the chains

of a bot-like game,

looping on and on, it's all the same,

it's always never changing!~

Updates: I added Sunny to this, and for both Molly and Charlie I added one more ??? to the relatives.

Also, after looking into it, I've decided that Molly has innatentive ADHD. Charlie and Sunny have hyperactive ADHD.

Alright, the paralels between these two are as obvious as it can get, so what's up with them?

[The answer to that is under the cut! Everything here is written as if it was written by the people running the website.]

Since the creators of Welcome Home couldn't find any use in Molly Moon and Sunny Sunrise separately, they've decided to combine the two, and give them their own little spin-off show, titled "The Plan!"

Well, at least, that seemed to be the plan, (Pun intended.) since we have managed to find a decent number of scripts for it. And, interestingly enough, the number of scripts doesn't line up with the number that was planned originally.

There seem to be far more than what was needed.

We haven't restored the entirety of them yet, because some scripts are damaged more than others or are just missing entirerly. Like the first episode, for example. While we found the other episodes with ease, episode one is nowhere to be found, except for a brief description of it's contents as a note:

"The origin story of how Molly and Sunny met, and an insight of what their lifes were like before that happened."

We have managed to compile enough information about the show as to where we can talk about it.

Supposedly, the show was about the unused concept characters Molly Moon and Sunny Sunrise, who were put together as a comedic antagonistic duo, due to their opposite personalities and designs, which oddly enough fit together perfectly without it being planned that way. They would've been redesigned to fit the finalized versions of the Welcome Home cast later on but the development of the show was cut short before it was ever fully finalized.

The show was supposed to be animated instead of it being done with puppets.

Episodes lengths were: 5 minute shorts, 11 minutes for regular episodes and 22 minutes for  specials.

The plot would follow the antagonistic leader Sunny and her sidekick Molly, as they try to ruin Sally Starlets life every episode... with plans that don't really cause that much damage anyways.

Episode structures were always the same, with the same kind of scenes and dialogue but with differences added to keep it interesting. (Note: Like Phineas and Ferb.) Every plan would fail in some manner at the end of every episode.

Besides being leader and sidekick, Sunny and Molly were also best friends, despite their many differences.

Sunny is there to motivate Molly to get out of her shell, and Molly is there as a voice of reason, to remind Sunny when something isn't a good idea. These two would compliment each other well, which would make for a fun watch.

Although the show would mainly focus on the comedic aspect, sometimes it would also include a lesson, which falls more in line with the original Welcome Home.

The direct reason for the erasure of the show is currently unknown, and even though we do have some theories about it, we'll wait until we gain more information about the overall production of it until we try to piece it together any further.

Sunny Sunrise Intro

Template credit.

[Character info is under the cut. Everything here is written as if it was written by the people running the website.]

Sunny Sunrise is an unused Welcome Home character concept, whose development was cut short before it was ever finalized.

But, luckily, there's plenty of restored concept artwork and notes from which we can deduce what she would've been like.

Apparently, there once existed the idea of a segment in the show which would have been aired exclusively during the morning.

The segment in question was going to be called "Way To Start The Day!" and it was where Sunny's character would come into play.

During the segment, she would teach children about the importance of eating a healthy breakfast each day, having proper morning hygiene and not sleeping in too often.

More often than not she would've also invited the other characters to accompany her on the way, and that's where it would get fun.

You see, Sunny was supposed to be an antagonistic character. A comedic one, but an antagonist nevertheless.

Her main enemy being Sally Starlet, someone who, as a gag, says that she doesn't know who Sunny is, despite the fact that they've known each other since childhood.

Sally was always seen as the brightest star in the sky, meanwhile Sunny was seen as the second brightest. (The sun is a star as well, but almost nobody in this universe believes Sunny when she argues this, as a gag.)

So, due to this Sunny swore that she'll get her revenge on Sally one day. In every segment of hers she'd try to ruin Sally's life throughout some elaborate plan, either with Sally directly or through one of the other neighbors.

One of the notes states that "She doesn't live in the main neighborhood, but instead her house is located in the one next to it." which confirms that she wasn't supposed to be part of the neighborhood, but instead a minor character that would appear occasionally.

The plans would always be rather silly and not 'life ruinningly' evil, they would rather just cause minor inconveniences. The plan would basically be a fail each time even if it goes according to plan because they don't cause that much damage anyways. Despite this, Sunny would keep trying.

Personality wise, Sunny is a loud, energetic, confident and a mischievous person who is, besides her 'evil shenanigans' a kind girl at heart. She's quite sporty and would show some easy morning exercises during her segment. She'd be very expressive with her gestures and poses, anything to get her words across as dramatically and fantastically as possible.

Even concept artwork for her puppet had been made and it was going to be a live-hand puppet that requires an additional hand to move the head, since it would have been quite large. One unique feature that this puppet was supposed to have, is that her shoes could turn into actual mini roller skates with the press of a button, which would've also been a thing during her segment, as she would kick the heels of her feet and the wheels would show up. This was most likely done as to emphasize that she's quick on her feet, according to a note. But, unfortunately, the puppet was never made.

Even though Sunny's s character is nowhere near present in the universe of Welcome Home, we can still find reused remains of her character in the characters we do have.

The main example of course being Sally Starlet, whom Sunny is most likely a beta version of. While the design and personality attributes are obvious, Sunny also shares Sally's talents and love for singing and dancing, which Sally is supposedly better at than Sunny.

Also, Sunny's loves and interests for knitting, sewing, cooking and baking were given to Poppy instead. Sunny's name was most likely taken from a bird concept character who was also named Sunny.

The direct reason for the erasure of Sunny Sunrise as a character is currently unknown, and even though we do have some theories about it, we'll wait until we gain more information about the overall production of the show until we try to piece it together any further.

Dreaming of the day

[The following is an oc lore poem written by me.]

As the sun rises at dawn,

she wakes up the moon from her slumber,

who just proceeds to jawn.

Enthusiastically the sun explains her plan,

and even though the moon doesn't understand, she's still a loving fan.

As they finish this silly little meeting,

they both go hand in hand,

to give the world an unforgettable greeting!

Well, hand in hand only in spirit,

and if you wonder why,

while the moon simply isn't ready,

the sun is very shy.

Will that ever change? Is something you may ask,

And I say:

Well, only on the day,

that the moon will drop her mask.

A somewhat comprehensible essay about how the Chaotic Crossover AU was created

Word count: Around 3000 words.

Approximated reading time: 25 minutes.

Summary: Me explaning my weird thought process and the string of ideas that lead to the Chaotic Crossover AU. I wrote the essay for fun, don't take it too seriously. I'm totally not saying that because I went off topic a few times.

It's seperated into 10 sections so that it'll be easier to read. This is my first attempt at posting a longer piece of my writing as well as an essay, I tried to make it interesting and entertaining.

I hope you'll enjoy! 💚💛💜💙

#1

It was around some point at the beginning of the year 2023 that my mom and I randomly decided to watch the movie Ocean's 8 together. I'm usually really picky about movies because my attention span is terrible and if I get bored I don't wanna watch anymore, but when she told me it was about a heist I was hooked. I love heist movies, I always did, and I loved this movie too, it's fun and actually funny and charismatic, with a decent twist to it that I won't spoil, but I definitely do recommend that you give it a watch.

Anyways, that day changed everything. The moment the movie was over, the moment that I went upstairs to my room, I had no real idea what I was getting myself into. I put on my headphones, put on "Mission Impossible Theme - Electric Guitar Cover by Kfir Ochaion - ALP Guitars" on loop, I took my purple hula hoop and I started to pace around my room trying to come up with ideas while spinning it around like a weird stim toy. Ideas for what, you may ask?

For my oc's to be in a heist together, of course.

#2

You see, my mind is very easily influenced. That's definitely not a good thing to be honest, but I don't know how to phrase it differently. Basically, whenever I watch something I immediately start thinking of oc ideas that have something to do with it. If I watch a movie about cowboys I'll be trying to make a cowboy au in my head, If I watch a movie about a royal ball I'll be imagining them all dolled up at a fancy event.

You can bet your ass, that I, heist movie fanatic, wanted my oc's to be in a heist together real bad. Thing is... at the time, I had a teeny tiny little problem that made this idea a little difficult...

I literally only had two oc's to work with.

Those two being Charlie and Mina.

The girlies. The legends. The og's.

...but yeah, still. Two oc's isn't a lot to work with. I did have Charlie as a plot starter, she's literally a thief, of course she'd want to go on a badass heist to steal a bunch of valuables. But how on earth would Charlie convince Mina of all people to go on a heist with her?

Besides... these two are a fun duo, but they're not entertaining enough on their own, seeing only the two of them interact constantly will get bored real quick...

But did you think that stopped me, dear reader? Oh no, no no no no no. I didn't let go of this concept. I felt a mighty need. I NEEDED to see a group of my own special little guys on a wacky heist together.

#3

In an act of desperation, I literally thought about bringing back my old Ducktales oc's and the Club Penguin oc's I had recently scraped. The Club Penguin oc's were a no go, I firmly decided to turn those into humans and to work on them at some point in the future. As for the Ducktales ones, I'd have to rewatch an entire show to be able to properly rewrite and redesign them and I didn't feel like doing that...

...but then, I remembered two oc ideas that were lingering in my mind, waiting to be thought of. A Making Fiends oc, which I did try to create but ultimately scraped the idea of cuz I couldn't make the design look right, and a Welcome Home oc concept, of a sleep themed character with a moon head.

While I was going to start to work on the Welcome Home one, I still didn't wanna tackle the Making Fiends one. So, in my mind, I firstly created a weird meta version of the au we know today.

I started to design and slowly form a personality for moon girl. While I was doing that, I added her to the heist even though she was nowhere near done yet.

As for the Making Fiends guy... well, he was going to be a self aware scraped character who was supposed to be able to exist only in this au, and nowhere else. It was supposed to be an universe where everyone is self aware that they're characters, and that I, their creator, exist.

The guy was supposed to be very mad at me specifically at all times, because the girls got their own lores and stories in their og universes, meanwhile his only role is to fill up space in a heist scenario.

I remember getting the idea that, before I even post about these two, that I should create a series of fake screenshots where I'd showcase these two without explaining who they are, as a sorta little thing that only I would really understand the context of.

...and this is where things changed.

For fake screenshots you need fake scenarios, for fake scenarios you have to imagine the characters interract. 

#4

The very first idea I had for this was Charlie, excitedly breaking into the guys house and then trying to convince him to join her crazy heist plan, and him of course not wanting to.

It was this bickering that I really liked. It was this bickering that I found insanely entertaining.

It was this bickering that ultimately saved both Charlie and Milo as characters.

These two are at their BEST, when they have someone to go against, a rival. Someone to argue and fight with. These two basically shaped each other as characters.

Most of Milo's personality was created while I imagined him arguing with Charlie like they're in a Danganronpa trial. And while Charlie's personality didn't change, it definitely expanded. The Charlie from a year ago isn't the Charlie we have now.

Also, I gotta add this, Charlie and Milo are basically Ash and Five but in a different font, I have realized that only later on, and I really love this dynamic. I won't explain who those two are in detail, if you know you know.

So, we have established that these two helped and pushed each other to become the best versions of themselves.

But let's be real, there ain't no way in hell Charlie's gonna convince Milo, even the Milo we have today, to participate in a heist that easily.

So, what does Charlie do?

Drag moon girl into it, of course.

#5

I thought to myself... huh, what if Mr. Serious had a soft spot for moon girl? And then Milo proceeded to shape Molly's character into place, with one of the most beloved dynamics I've made so far. Molly changed Milo a lot too, of course.

Molly is the thing that made me realize that Milo is at his second best when he has someone to care for, someone to love. Eventually this love did spread to Charlie and Mina as well, but he doesn't show it towards them the same way.

Charlie and Molly changed each other in a way that made me realize that Molly is at her best when she has someone to lead her. A lot of Charlie's personality came to be from me imagining her explaining something to Molly in a cool leader type of way.

And then there's Mina. Now you're gonna say, Mina's the odd one out. Mina's the only one who hasn't changed at all since I first introduced her.

Mina has changed, she just changed the least. All three of them shaped her character to be more caring and less cold, which isn't very obvious... given that it's Mina we're talking about.

Heh... I guess ya could say, that she was too lazy to change any more than that. Mina's the most simple character out of all of them, I don't wanna change that too much. Her simple character is fine, and it's at it's best when it's put together with complicated characters. And welp, we got three complicated mfs right here.

All of these dynamics were born while I was imagining them in the heist scenario. You forgot about the heist already, didn't you? I can't blame you, I did too... for a long time.

#6

I just started to imagine them in different scenarios and those kinda made me forget about the heist one, but, within this au the heist thing did happen... well, it was supposed to.

Basically the au began with them all just being thrown into this white room with four doors lined up before them. Each of them had a missing item from their inventories that they wanted to get back. They got to know each other a little while they were going through each other's universes, they found the items and that was it for a while.

Until Charlie found that a new door showed up in the room. The door lead to the front of a giant building, which turned out to be some rich guy's massive mansion. And of course the mansion was full of valuables that Charlie wanted to get her hands on, but failed attempt after failed attempt... she just couldn't get in.

That's when she realized that it would be far easier if she had someone with her... y'know, preferably three people. And boom she's at it with the convincing. Mina agrees cuz she wants to avoid another one of her aunts weedings, Molly agrees cuz Charlie told her that it's a good thing that they're doing this, Milo agrees cuz Molly is a part of it, and because he's baffled that she managed to drag Mina into it.

And because they were like in a heist together I almost called the au the "Charlie's Angels AU". Because y'know... there's Charlie who's conveniently named that, and the other three who's names all start with an M. I honestly still think it'll be a clever name for some sorta au, but I went for the name Chaotic Crossover AU because it's more simple and it explains what the au is about better. Besides, I feel like if I actually went for the title that's a movie reference I'd have to constantly stick to the whole heist thing or otherwise it wouldn't make much sense.

The only other type of name I considered before I went for the one we have today, is something along the lines of MMCM AU. Maybe the letters were arranged differently, I honestly don't exactly remember. Yeah, I didn't get too creative with this one, it honestly sounds like a band name to me... and yes, I did consider making a band au but nah, I'm going to use the band concept for something else. Also there's lore reasons as to why these 4 wouldn't really be capable of being in a band together.

So they meet up to create a plan, they have fun chatting and messing around for the whole day, only to find that the door which Charlie talked about dissapeared. She wasn't lying about it, she even took pictures as proof.

But, oh well, does is matter that much anyways? Maybe the real treasure... the real heist, was the friends we made along the way.

And, it was.

#7

Besides this beginning, there is no other plot to this au.

The rest of it is just them mindlessly having fun with each other as I put them into random scenarios and funky outfits.

I said this somewhere before, but, the au has no actual ending or middle, just a beginning.

Time doesn't flow the same, they're just meant to stay the same age, time has been stopped, basically.

There was supposed to be a plot at some point, but I realized that I would spoil a lot of stuff from their actual canon stories, and I am always overly cautious with not spoiling people.

Also, the characters here don't line up 100% with their canon counterparts, even if they do for the most part, because I erased their canon problems for the sake of having them be actually happy unlike their canon selves.

Thing is, to what extent did I erase these problems?

Because, for some of them, if I erase the problem then they're not the same character anymore...

So it's basically a weird situation where they are and aren't themselves...

...I'm losing you, aren't I? Yeah, I'm losing it too.

What am I trying to say?

I'm trying to explain in a comprehensive way that the Chaotic Crossover AU makes no logical sense.

...unless, you hear me out about the explanation I came up with because I feel the need for everything to magically make sense.

#8

I present to you,

The Dollhouse Explanation

Which says, that the oc's in this au, are doll versions of the actual characters.

1. The white room with the doors is actually a dollhouse. Every universe they go to is me adding another playset to it.

2. Molly, Mina, Milo and Charlie are dolls. I play with them, making up roleplays and scenarios. I dress them up in different outfits very often, like one does with dolls.

3. They don't age because they're dolls and dolls don't age, so it seems as if time has stopped.

Could some of this apply to the act of making oc's and stories in general?

Yeah.

Does this change anything about the au?

No. Not really.

Why did I add this to the essay?

I showed it to my friend and she said that I should keep this part so I'm taking her word for it.

(She doesn't have Tumblr or other socials but shout-out to her!)

Have I watched too many theory videos on YouTube?

Yeah.

Should I stop?

Yeah, but we both know that I won't. :)

Also, the au was inspired and influenced by cartoons in danganronpa, which is basically a giant crossover in itself.

I'm saying this because, like in cidr, the characters and designs clearly aren't from the same universes, they still kept the each individual art styles from the shows, and I really liked the look of it. But, you could still tell that the sprites are from the same project because of the lineart and shading. It's the same situation in this au.

#9

...this is a cursed addition to this essay that I, on one hand, don't wanna cover cuz Part A of it is the cringiest and worst development fact about the au and I've kinda wanted to just pretend it never happened, but it influenced Part B in a way as to where I can't not mention it, and also I find Part B incredibly interesting.

Ok, so, Milo was always pansexual, but Charlie used to be bisexual before I settled on her being a lesbian.

...I'm just gonna rip the bandage off, Milo x Charlie was supposed to be a thing.

I know, I know, eugh. Look, I will think of many romantic character combinations just in case I might hit the jackpot, I like to explore romantic dynamics as much as platonic ones.

And, for like... a month, I was genuienly planning to make these two slowly get crushes on each other, I was gonna hint towards it with some sorta ship art.

But then, I was reconsidering things.

I started to contemplate the meaning of life, as well as all of my life choices and how they affected my life, me and my oc's. I looked into the distance, and then I took one, good, longggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg, look at Charlie. And then, finally, like a light at the end of the tunnel, my critical thinking skills tapped me on the shoulder.

I turned around.

"Her ass would never date a man." it said. I nodded, and shed a tear. It may have taken me too long to realize it, but at least I did.

And that's the story of how Charlie became a lesbian instead! :D

#10

And no, before you ask, Charlie wouldn't like Milo in that way even if he was female, or when he's presenting himself as more feminine like in the one purple design I made for him. She doesn't find him appealing in a romantic way at all. Same goes for Milo with Charlie.

Besides, both have standards... and different types.

Their relationship is far more interesting and genuine if it's presented from a purely platonic perspective, which it is, and which it always will be.

Basically, they're besties, your honor. Case closed.

The same thing goes for another ship I considered while I was still figuring out everyone's sexualities, Charlie x Mina.

I admit, I hate this one less, but still, it's the same situation.

They're besties, your honor. Case closed yet again.

Ever since I decided to keep it all platonic, thank heavens I did, I've always had this underlying fear in the back of my head that, somehow, people are still going to see it as romantic. I remember when I made the drawing of Milo and Charlie standing next to each other in greaser inspired outfits, I was like, oh crap, are ppl gonna see them as a couple?

But no one did. A decent amount of people saw it, and no one said a thing.

And I think that's nice. Beautiful, even.

I've seen plenty of characters which were, if you ask me, forcefully pushed together in a romantic way, despite the fact that they were clearly meant to just be friends. Having this sense of control over things, being able to determine the right path for these oc's, it gives me a sense of peace and satisfaction.

Everything is in its place.

Balanced, as it should be. 

Anyways let's talk about how this decision made everyone in this au absolutely unshippable with each other in every conceivable way.

1. Molly is an adult the other three are kids if you don't think this is a no go get the fuck away from my blog.

2. Mina is aroace and would never be in a romantic relationship, so that's a no go too.

3. The only two left are Milo and Charlie. Charlie is a lesbian and since Milo is a guy that's a no go.

This happened completely on accident and I realized it on accident too, but I'm not complaining.

Hooray to friendship! Hooray to platonic love! Hooray to platonic relationships!

They're just as valuable and beautiful and powerful as romantic ones!

Go tell your friends or family or partner or pet you love them!

You'd be surprised how happy they'd be to hear it.

And that's how the Chaotic Crossover AU was created.

If you've actually made it to the end, thank you for sticking around, you beloved madlad.

I hope you have a lovely day! 💚💛💜💙

YES.

hear me out. doomed found family.

people coming together through adverse circumstances, learning to rely and depend on each other, beginning to care for each other, but knowing that they both have places to be in time, and their paths won’t cross the same way again.

every interaction tinged with regret. every fragment of this person they learn another memory to hold on to. keeping them close, because you know you’ll be forced to split up soon enough.

maybe they have a bio family to get back to, or other situations that’ll keep them apart. but either way, the result’s still the same, and it’s out of their hands.

i love pain.

We got CJ pixel art + some facts under the cut! :]

His favorite drink is hot chocolate, he mostly makes it himself based on Grandma Charlene's recipe, it's very good.

While his worries are mostly justified and sensical, sometimes he tends to be overprotective about the people he cares about.

Loves collecting stickers, and likes to use them at any given opportunity. He has had a stickerbook ever since he was little.

Sometimes he gives out stickers as a reward to people for doing a good job at something, along with candy, but he may give the person something different if he knows they prefer something else.

Same thing does for bandages, he has a bunch of different ones and he gives people the ones he thinks that they'd like. He gives the people he loves heart shaped ones, so if you see Charlotte walking around with a bunch of hearts on her body, you'll know why.

He likes to do arts and crafts, and owns probably too many supplies for it. He and Charlotte often do it together.

Has a special interest in flowers and botany. He usually helps Grandma Charlene with the plants around the house and all of the ones inside it. He likes to give all of of them names, and they live for quite a while since he takes gardening seriously, but also cuz he pretty much has a green thumb. He knows virtually anything about it, and he has plenty of books about it too.

Doesn't like silence, he usually always has something playing in the background. He can't sleep in silence either, so he turns on the fan each night.

Is an extrovert who doesn't like being alone and prefers for someone to accompany him if he's going somewhere, usually he takes Charlotte along with him which she enjoys.

Finds eye contact awkward and only really does it with people he knows very well, since at that point he's comfortable enough as to where it's not awkward to him anymore.

Tends to stare at things he thinks are pretty and interesting for long periods of time, something or someone usually snaps him out of it.

He's a hoarder that has a hard time throwing away things, cuz "You may never know when you'll need them!". This is why he has such an array of items in his fanny pack. Their attic is full of random stuff, as well as his room.

Has been afraid of thunder and thunderstorms ever since he was little, and still is. He usually tries to act as if he's totally not afraid whenever it thunders outside, for the sake of seeming mature... he's not very good at it.

He's very good at making pancakes, he's constantly trying out new ways to make them look fun. Charlotte always has some new wild request, and he's up for the challenge to make it look like whatever she suggested.

@random-meme-bot

Collection of Dan doodles I collected over the school year in my notebooks. He's the only one I can properly draw from memory out of the trio.

Except the hat, ignore how I drew the hat in these, ik it's bad-

When I drew these I also thought of two random headcanons/ideas, they don't have to be canon by any means but I felt like putting these out there for fun. They're under the cut!

1. Dan has a snake tounge for no other reason besides that it looks cute and I think it suits him. Maybe he likes snakes idk.

2. He wags his... ghost tail? whenever he's happy, like a dog. He often does this without realizing it. Also, the ghost tail? is also extendable and can stretch into a seemingly endless length. It can also move and form shapes, which makes him more expressive. Sometimes it gives away his actual emotions, for example he pretends he's mad but his tail? forms a heart. He often doesn't realize it, which would be a lil visual gag.
