About James' backstory

So as you can tell, I haven't posted the backstory my OC James yet.

But that will change in a few weeks. I'm currently working on it but school and private problems often get in the way of it. I'm not quite sure when it will be finished but I wanted to say that the story will have illustrated parts. I mean I gotta use my 'skills' in a way.

General information about the story:

The story on its own will not have any type of direct connection to the Slenderman. So no Slenderman showing up outside a window or something like that. Although, it will partly play in my AU of the forest in which the Slenderman resides in. The proxies do exist in that universe, as well as some of the other creeps. While working on James' story I'm also working on my own AU of creepypasta so there will definitely be connections.

This may be a surprise but James does NOT have a canon romantic interest, a bit different than the art I post of him with my version of Toby. I personally think that the romance is a bit unnecessary for his story and non of the proxies will be directly involved in his story for now. Maybe a small, subtle appearance or traces of one of them being near James, but no actual conversation.

I will mention this again when I actually post the story but here is the trigger warning list (for now):

-SA, abusive behaviour of authority

-Mention of SH

-Mention of delusions and hallucinations (I'm not sure if this TW is necessary but just in case)

What even is/does James do post-incident?

James is a sort of vengeful spirit. He is going to murder the man that has assaulted him, but not actively. Using psychological torture is his thing, so he will inflict no direct physical harm to the man. James is NOT a serial killer. He does not lure in people, he does not kill innocent people, he does not hurt wandering humans. His first and last murder will be the one that assaulted him. After that he will wander around the forest, like some sort of ghost. People are able to see him, but only how he WANTS to be perceived. I mentioned this in a post earlier, James has two official appearances.

1. Realistic post death corpse. I think the name sums it up pretty well, he just looks pretty disfigured, rotten and torn in that form.

2. Post death spirit. In this second form, he really just looks like how he did when he was alive. He still has blood running down his body, he still has bruises and wounds but in a way, he still looks alive. He doesn't look disfigured nor rotten. The closest non creepypasta character I can compare him too in that form is the final form of Chandramukhi in the first movie 'Chandramukhi' from the year 2005. (Great, nostalgic horror/comedy Tamil movie btw)

Just to make things clear, in no way whatsoever is James mentally well. He has schizophrenia, social anxiety and body dysmorphia. He is extremely sensitive to his surroundings and empathetic towards others. And no, I don't mean empathic in a healthy way but in a way that other's moods and problems directly affect him. He is a soul that will feel the same amount of fear, stress, anger, sadness, whatever feeling you want as the person he is currently spending time with. This causes him to be stressed and/or overwhelmed most of the time. So yes, he is a really nervous person, yet I don't want him to be perceived as some sort of 'soft boy'. James is a 25 years old male who was in university for a psychology major before he was murdered. I'm currently giving him a slight redesign so that his body and physique actually look appropriate to his lifestyle. He is a bharatanatyam dancer, he helps out in his sister's garage and regularly hits the gym. That guy is athletic af and not some damsel in distress just because his bharatanatyam clothes are pretty.

If you have any questions about James and/or my creepypasta AU, my ask box is open:)

(pls excuse any grammar mistakes, English isn't my first language)

So uhhh, yeah. I hope I'll finish the story and the illustrations soon. I still have some other art WiP's that I need to finish too but it'll come together.

Have a wonderful day/night:D

Drunk Toby for his birthday!

(don't drink too much alc guys)

One of my biggest interests at the time: @creepedverse

Idk, I love the whole concept and I love the individuality of each character, hence why I'm trying to draw every single one! Obviously, I still need to draw some but this is what I have for now:3

@necroromantics @crushedsweets @diasartstuff @redevilries

EJ: What kind of spider is that?

James:....It's a tarantula....Is that not obvious?-

EJ: *Eyeless bitch stare*

James: I would like to say sorry.

Taking the break back lol (I'm an idiot)

And that my guys is why you shouldn't make impulsive decisions while being emotional.

So uhm, this is a bit awkward

No break? I guess? Idk man, I'm still not reaaalllyyy well but I figured that taking a break off social media won't currently help me so eh, yeah. Cool.

But maybe don't expect a lot of art bc school started for me again and I'll be a bit busy with studying. But otherwise, usual optimism and content, life is beautiful, blah, blah, blah.

If anyone is curious how I'm doing after the whole tiktok-comment-section-drama idk, I'm just as fine as I was before, I just hope that those people will find some peace in their life and not waste their time on harassing strangers online. I'm personally fine with the fact that it happened with me getting kinda involved I guess, I just deactivated the comments to avoid any more unnecessary beef.

And just for all the people that are somehow involved in the drama, I wish that you all find peace, it will get better and uh, love and respect everyone. The world is far too beautiful to bring negativity into it anyway.

I apologize for yapping this much, just wanted to speak out my mind.

(Also don't be ableist. Not funny to harass ppl with mental disorders or physical disabilities, it really ain't.)
