This Is On Our Separate Oc But I Noticed Similarities I Think I Did After Reading About Yours (can't

This is on our separate oc but I noticed similarities I think I did after reading about yours (can't think of her name sorry)

My OC also has a family like Drebas(?) but she lost her father a long time ago. Her mother was obsessed with her beauty to the point of actually harming her for not being feminine enough.

Idk I notice that

It’s alright, my OC is named Darla Sawyer, and I think that it’s perfectly fine that you got inspired by my own oc’s backstory (that’s never happened before so that’s honestly pretty cool) but I’ll just explain more about her backstory just so you know there’s nothing to fret over!

TCM OC backstory: Darla Sawyer (with a bit of Jimmy Sawyer)

Her parents always wanted a first born son, but instead Darla was the first with her brother following second

Her parents constantly made her feel that she wasn’t “pretty” or “feminine” enough since she had tons of freckles all over her skin, was a bit heavier than most girls, and was more adventurous than a girl was “supposed to be”

They always told her brother that he could take after her since she was basically a boy herself which only made her feel she had to hide more of herself in order to ever be accepted by them. However they would never accept her no matter how hard she tried whether it be putting on makeup, trying to lose weight, or being more of a homebody like how most girls at the time were taught to be

When she was fourteen she would meet her future husband: Jimmy Sawyer and he was the first and only person in her life to think that she was truly beautiful and was always excited to be around her since he genuinely took enjoyment in being by her side

As a result of this whenever she was with him she was allowed to truly be herself around him without being judged, however friends of her parents would see her and him acting like “hooligans” and go straight to her parents which they would respond by physically hurting her and telling her that she was embarrassing them by hanging out with this boy but she secretly defied them and continued seeing Jimmy

However the turning point came when she was 18 years old and found out that she was pregnant with Drayton to which her parents immediately disowned her, kicking her out of the house, and only allowing her to take the few possessions she owned

She would run to a now 19 year old Jimmy, crying and telling him what happened all while begging him not to leave her. He would respond by asking her to marry him and telling her that he always knew he wanted to spend his life with her and would gladly take care of her and the baby

Grandma Sawyer would give Darla her old wedding dress and gifted her a pearl necklace and bracelets as a “welcome to the family gift” and Grandpa Sawyer would walk her down the aisle since her own parents refused to acknowledge her or their future grandchild

Fast forward more than 20 years later and Darla has the twins and Bubba after trying for so long to have more children (Drayton is 25 when the twins are born and 27 when Bubba is born)

When the boys are all grown up they quit the slaughterhouse in support after their grandfather quitting and Jimmy decides to travel to find work to which Darla decided to join him seeing as how her boys were all grown now and that he was always their when she needed him and now it was her turn to be there for him

However not long into their trip they would both become the victims of a serial killer and their bodies would never be found (this explains why their bodies aren’t in the attic with grandma sawyer)

“New wig”

(Nubbins wanted to give him something special so that they are always together no matter how far apart they are😊)

This is so cool it’s like those promo pics from the original tcm movie! I love all the little details this could totally be a canon photo, nicely done!

uhmmm... Today is the TCMgame... Anniversary

Tcm Oc: Darla Sawyer

Darla is the mother of Drayton, Choptop, Nubbins, and Bubba Sawyer, the daughter in law of Grandma and Grandpa Sawyer, and the wife of my other TCM Oc Jimmy Sawyer

She was a highly sheltered child growing up whose family wanted her to oppress everything they found “embarrassing” about her and when she found out she was pregnant they immediately disowned her and only allowed her to take a handful of possessions with her

The reason she fell in love with Jimmy was because he made her feel like she could truly be herself with him and is beloved not only by him but by his parents as well

On their wedding day Grandma Sawyer let Darla wear her old wedding dress and gave her the pearls seen in her design to truly welcome her into the family

Since her father refused to acknowledge her Grandpa Sawyer would be the one to walk her down the aisle and into the arms of his son

She adores her sons and often encourages them to do whatever makes them happy even if it might be pretty strange to others *ahem* Nubbins

She always told Drayton he was the one that made her want to become a better person than her parents were and encouraged him to go his own path such as being a gas station owner instead of going into the slaughterhouse like her husband and father in law did

She and her husband started trying to have more children when they were in their thirties but due to fertility problems it took until they were in their mid forties to finally get pregnant with the twins and then Bubba

She taught he boys how to sew and allowed Bubba to help her with her makeup after realizing how good he was with it

When Grandpa Sawyer and later her youngest three quit the slaughterhouse, her husband decided to go and find work elsewhere and chose to go with him since he was always there for her and because her boys were all grown

Right before she left she told her boys to look after themselves and their grandparents and that she loved them with all her heart

However she and her husband would never return as she was later killed alongside her husband by a serial killer leading her boys and in laws to never know what happened to either of them

Idk my brain said give Drala a daughter that looks kinda like her. It was supposed to look at Drala but it ended up not. So ummm here Dolly

She looks great that’s so nice of you to design her and it was really fun to draw her as well!😊😊😊

I got a good few words to use

Did Darla ever wanted a daughter? Like did she pick out a name for a girl?

This is an something related to bubba to

If bubba uses different pronouns around their mother. Did she tell him the name so they could use it?

I think Darla would be a little bit apprehensive about having a daughter because she was treated differently most of her life because her parents thought she wasn’t “pretty” or “feminine” enough to really qualify as a woman and wouldn’t want her potential daughter to be treated that way by people either. However she did always want to have someone be named after herself so in order to kinda achieve this she used the first three letters of her name to name her first baby, Drayton, and with Bubba Darla used her last letter so that both their names could end with the letter A. (If twins were girls Nubbins would be named Nellie and Chop (Robert) would be Roxanne or Rachael)

I think for the second question it really depends on how Bubba presents themselves like if it’s his usual workmen getup than he would go by he/him, when wearing the lady mask Bubba would go by they/them, and for a full feminine getup it would be she/her. For when Bubba feels more like being feminine the name she would go by would either be Barbie or Dolly (since Dolly almost sounds like Darla and Barbie because to Darla they remind her of a doll)
