Hannibal Lecter would only think he was initiating contact with Pinhead.

In reality, Hell has been watching him for a long time.

Hannibal Lecter is not the first cannibal Pinhead has come to collect, but he would surely be one of the most interesting. I imagine Leviathan has been wanting him as a cenobite for a while.

Reminds me of this photo I took last year of my Neca Pinhead with a random sticker I found:

Inktober/day 9 - Sun Tumblrs worst Hellraiser fan-artist strikes again. This inktober must be a beautiful suffering to all of you. Smile and shine like a sun, you ol' grumpy people!

It’s usually a bit awkward at first when any group of my characters meet, but there are a few with enough charisma to break the ice and form friendships from any group of characters. Some of my oldest OCs are well into retirement and don’t come out anymore, preferring to watch everyone else interact from a distance, coffee or tea in hand, remembering when they were the ones having adventures or guiding me through my internal work, but grateful that they finally get to rest.

I can never predict how my characters will interact. Sometimes an old one who I thought was long gone will reincarnate into a new form that I barely recognize, but there will always be some flash of their old selves, a look, detail or preference, which lets me know who they once were. These characters have become archetypes for me, splitting off and recycling themselves in endless forms for endless stories. Now if only I could write as fast as they regenerate!

How would your oldest OCs react to meeting your newer ones? Excited? Scared? Would they be friends, or would they hate each other. (Can be used as a writing/drawing prompt!)

For my No Man’s Sky fic, it would have to be Verity’s older brother, Sage.

She was in space when he was killed. He was part of a unit escorting a group of colonists to a new galaxy when they were ambushed. One of the raiders got a lucky shot.

Verity didn’t even get to return for the funeral, so sometimes it is easier for her to pretend he is alive. However, his death haunts her more than she would like to admit, not just from a personal standpoint but a philosophical one. What are she and her brother really doing out here? Sure, Euclid is friendlier to humanity than Andromeda, but that doesn’t erase the fact that both she and him are/were invaders. Even though she isn’t part of a militarized force, she is essentially scouting ahead for new territory. She had never really thought about the colonial/imperialist implications of her job before, and as someone with Native Alaskan ancestry, it makes her too uncomfortable to think about often. So she buries it under the wonders she finds, knowing deep down that her species and their home planet might be fucked beyond repair.

But beyond that is the fact she simply misses her brother, like she does all her family. She misses the person who taught her how to throw a punch, who hid fish eyeballs in her socks, and who engaged her in never ending Star Wars versus Star Trek debates. Every day she spends in Euclid, the farther she and her family’s experiences grow apart, and now she has lost the one person back home who would understand what she’s going through the most.

(Weird behind-the-scenes story. I tried playing as Sage for the fishing expedition so I could ask him some questions from the “afterlife” and get to know him better. The save became corrupted after only one session, and I could not get it to load again. Out of all my dead characters, he is well and truly dead, and appears to want to stay that way.)

which oc haunts the story?
