How About Midnight For All 4 Of Your Guys

How about midnight for all 4 of your guys 👀

Thank you so much!!!

Oh this is a good one.

*cracks knuckles*

midnight: What keeps your OC up at night? Do they have nightmares? Fears? Anxieties? What do they do in the small hours of the morning when they should be sleeping?

Oisín: This answer honestly has 2 answers, so I will break them down in a way that makes sense.

To start, Oisín would never openly admit this, but after having a chance to develop very deep and strong personal relationships, they are afraid that they might do something to accidentally push them away or they might accidentally self-sabatoge their relationships. After spending so much time isolated and alone, and spending so much time fighting for a relationship that almost destroyed itself, they don't want to make the same mistakes again. They don't want to be alone again either.

Oisín also has to contend with nightmares that strike them as odd. I've spoken a bit about this here, but it's definitely an odd sensation when you are a creature of death and yet your dreams are plagued with visions of the past, with people you knew slaughtered, and with those you love now being brutally killed in front of you.

Being a creature of the night, whenever they need to clear their head (pun intended) they often go up onto the rooves of NRC and just sit and lurk, enjoying the evening solitude.

Kingsley: During his freshman year specifically - while he would never admit it - he is afraid of disappointing his parents and the consequences of what will happen if hw doesn't achieve their approval by the time he graduates. He's been tasked with "self-improvement" to become an "heir worthy of actually ruling". This actively drives everything he does until Jack, @cyanide-latte 's Copper, and @ramshacklerumble 's Gia start breaking through that absolutely steeled shell that this starts to change. By the time he reaches sophomore, junior, and senior year, that sort of changes to being afraid of letting his friends down.

If he needs to clear his head, he often will go out and do some target practice with his axes - much to Crowley's disapproval.

Emil: So this is a whole thing that actually leads to him going into Overblot. During his freshman and sophomore year, he starts searching for a way to prolong his younger sibling's life in order to buy himself time until he can find a cure for their terminal illness. When he gets the text from his mom that Riv is practically on their deathbed, Emil spirals. He stops eating. He stops sleeping. He starts skipping classes. And spends every waking hour working on trying to create a philosopher's stone... TLDR: He's afraid of losing his sibling.

Post-Overblot though, this is actually something I am in the process of sorting out. So I will definitely come back to this.

René: They don't exactly strike me as the sort to have many anxieties? But I guess the long and short of it is that once they get the taste of freedom, they are afraid that their father will metaphorically clip their wings. They become afraid of losing the freedom to be their own person. I don't think they necessarily have nightmares over it? But it does lead to them Overblotting.

Post-Overblot though, I think they have reocurring nightmares about the Overblot fight. About hurting the people they have come to love and cherish. (I sense a fic coming from this lol)

Thanks again!

Oh my god xD

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

And we benefit from it!

it was meant to be a warm up but i got carried away

HERE'S YOUR REMINDER LEAH DARLING THAT I LOVE YOUR OCS AND I'M HAPPY YOU'RE IN MY LIFE AS ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS

OMG, CY 🥹

Thank you so much for this; this is a fabulous sight to greet my inbox on my birthday. 🎁

You truly are an amazing soul and I am eternally grateful to have you as one of my friends.

For Cal, wound: How does your OC handle being wounded? Are their wounds mostly physical? Mental? Emotional? What's the worst wound your OC has ever experienced?

Oh so much to talk about here

The long and short of it is that Cal has the deck stacked against him for much of his tween & teenage years. His already distant father ditches, his Ultimate Magic/Signature Spell emerges due to a fire that levels his family home, Cal's at-the-time undiagnosed Oppositional Defiance Disorder starts to really cause problems when he's halfway through middle school. That last one really comes into play during his freshman year at Corlux Key Seminary; he ends up having so many outbursts that he earns the derisive nickname 'Cal-amity' and nearly gets kicked out.

...so yeah; a lot of emotional/mental wounds going on there.

I'm not sure if it's necessarily the worst wound he ever experiences, but there's an incident during the 2nd Arcane Exchange (which he's only allowed to go on after painstakingly keeping himself in check for the school year up until that point) that does act as the 'straw that broke the camel's back' that very nearly sends him into Overblot but instead earns him an emergency psych evaluation. Thank you for that one, Jade & Azul

And that's only the stuff that happens in the year after canon (Yu would be a sophomore). In adulthood, things...okay, 'settle down' isn't really the right word for it because Cal is better mentally but his living situation is kinda fucked, but there's at least some level of stability.

...and then they get really fucking complicated due to Cal finding himself having to reach out to the people that hurt him because something unjustly terrible is happening to the love interest of someone Cal considered one of his few friends before everything went up in flames. Things get weird and emotional from there.

Rest assured there's a light at the end of the tunnel for this kid, but holy hell is it a LONG tunnel to begin with
