3. How did your oc discover themself? Did something cause them to question, or did they always know? 8. Have they had struggles with their identity, be it due to internal or external reasons? 9. Are there cultural or lore specific aspects to their identity? If applicable, does their species affect it?

^ for Selená and Altsoba, and also

20. Have your ocs helped you in self discovery? How?

Thank you, @rotspeaker ! Also sorry this took me a while to post, I didn’t realize it was still in my drafts until I looked… :/ flop

For Selená, she discovered herself when she was a bit older, around her early to mid twenties. She knew she always liked boys, but the concept of liking girls was a bit different. But she definitely felt some sort of attraction. She just didn’t know what it meant.

Yara is pretty transphobic, unfortunately. We have a Transgender FTM character, Paolo de la Vega, and his country refuses to accept him for who is his… so, you would figure that applies to the rest of the LGBTQ+ community in Yara. Selená would never struggle with her identity, but she’s afraid of being ostracized and hated on because of it. But regardless of her fear, she’s proud, and she will happily fight for her rights.

Altsoba has always known who she was without question. She’s attracted to everyone regardless of gender, and she’ll never change.

She’s never had any struggles, and you can imagine nobody caring about one’s sexual orientation when Caesar’s Legion is killing people left and right. But I believe there is an issue with homosexual soldiers in the NCR? I’m not entirely sure, I would have to look it up and do some digging to figure that out.

For 20, I feel like they’ve definitely helped me in accepting myself for who I am. They encourage me to embrace myself and allow me to love myself. All of them have a small bit of me within them, wether it’s a physical trait or a part of my personality. That’s gotta be the best thing about having so many OC’s <3

As for number 9, no. I never actually considered it before.

Everything John says while flying his plane during the mission “Wrath”.

peak authorship is being able to associate every single one of your characters with at least one if not multiple taylor swift songs.

Edit: There’s also a little John fanart created by the same artist!!

There aren’t any watermarks on either of the pictures, so someone could easily say it’s theirs and take it. I tried using Google, and sadly nothing came up. I’m not even sure if the artist is even on Tumblr :( Whoever they are, they have fantastic art skills.

GUYS I NEED HELP—

I found this on Pinterest, basically it’s a fanart of little Jacob. Thing is I have no idea who the original artist is. If y’all could possibly help find them, that would be great.

It’s a known fact that Jacob raised and cared for his brothers, he protected them at all costs and made sure they had everything they needed. He would steal clothes, food/treats for them, toys for Little John and books/comics for Joseph. He didn’t care if he would get caught, not like he would, but it was worth it for his kid brothers. He even had to learn how to cut hair for them so they could be presentable and clean for school. On some days he would ditch school with them and take them anywhere they wanted to go, obviously anywhere that had a lake, river or forest, and relax there, forgetting about home, school and the harsh world that was out there and just pretend it was them and nature. No one else. They were happy. Jacob made sure his brothers were happy, no matter the cost.
