Three Facts Tag
If tagged, give 3 facts either about yourself or your OC’s. Then tag the 10 most recent tumblr-users from your page.
(I won't tag anyone, but I WILL jump at any chance to talk about my OCs.)
Fact 1. Samantha Chandler, my Ninjago OC, was my first ever original character. (Having been created when I was 12. I thank her for being my spark to continue creating characters.). She was originally an adopted daughter of Garmadon, taking his last name, but when she came back to the forefront of my thoughts... I changed it. She no longer has any ties to Garmadon other than also having Oni blood.
Fact 2. The majority of my characters were created to interact with canon characters. There are times where I may take that character and put them into their own unique universe, which will then split into their own story. But still, the beginning of all of my stories can be traced back to a fandom in some way. For example, I had a TMNT OC named Violet. But I loved her biology and look so much, I ended up plucking her from TMNT and creating an alien world with her at the head of creation. I kept her general look and personality, but her story is completely different now.
The only OC that I would never be able to remove from their fandom is One-shot, my Borderlands OC. She is way too integrated into the world and the characters within, she is only allowed to ever be in that universe. I won't even create another character who is too like her... She is my special queen.
Fact 3. I get too emotionally attached to my OCs. Even if they are created to just be a pop up character in one scene, I have to know EVERYTHING about them. And of course, the more I develop them, the more attached I become. All my OCs, no matter their importance to the overall plot, are my beloved children.
My life as a Carat...(an analysis)
2022: This was when I first became a Carat through FTS and HOT. Seventeen was like destiny to me. Their music was perfect for me and the members fit into my life like they were always meant to be there. And when Dino became my bias, it was like I finally discovered what true love was. Seventeen came into my life when I didn't have anything to look forward to. When I was just existing instead of living with no color to my life whatsoever. They came into my life and gave me so much to wake up for, everyday. They painted my black-and-white life in rose quartz and serenity colors.
2023: Loving Seventeen came naturally to me, now. I could talk about them to anyone for hours but I also wanted to keep them close to my heart because no one would understand just how much these boys mean to me. Seventeen helped me through a time in my life where I had no one. Where I changed a lot and left a lot behind. But Seventeen stayed with me, even through that. They showed me that even though I've changed, deep down I'm still me. They showed me that even though I've given up on most of my relationships with other people, the relationship I have with them is something that can't be broken. They became the only constant I have in my life.
2024: Now, Seventeen has become something I can't even separate from who I am. If you wanna take Seventeen away from me, you will inevitably take away a part of me as well. Each day feels like another reason to be grateful to these boys for how much happiness they give me. Their tiniest wins feel like wins for me. Hell, I want to make them win in whatever way possible. I want to see them smile more because their happiness is inevitably my happiness as well. And I know for sure that whatever happens, in 2 years or 20 years, Seventeen is something that will never go away from my life. They are me and I am them.
I can't even put into words how much Seventeen has changed my life for the better. They give me things to look forward to every single day. They make me excited about life in a way I have never felt before. They stay with me through my darkest times when even I don't know myself. They make me feel emotions I have never felt before, for anyone. They teach me what love, friendship, and family mean. They inspire me to be a better version of myself. They show me that in the end, everything will work out exactly like I want. They show me that I will get to where I want to go one day, no matter the difficulties. They believe in me more than I believe in myself sometimes. They show me what true happiness looks like. They've shown me that destiny really exists. I was destined to meet Seventeen in this lifetime, and I was destined to never leave them again, no matter what. And one day, when I become the person I've always wanted to be, I know I would feel grateful to not only myself but to them. My first, last, and only loves, my Seventeen 🩷🩵.
