Happy Birthday to these two,
God didn't think One deplorable bastard was enough so he made another one a year later.
I have a question.
On Vernon, with the fact that we know she's a literal sadomasocist, (I think I said that right...) I'm just curious as to why or how this may have come up. Had she always been this "messed up in the head," as to say, or did she develop her morbid curiosity from an event that changed her?
Howdy Howdy! Thank you so much for the ask!๐๐ My Laotian ocs always have some aspect on Lao culture and history. So 2 in 1, you also get a very brief history lesson!
Had Vernon always been like this?
I believe she was always like this, some people are born the way that they are, and the environment they were raised in can further encourage or discourage their behaviors. If it wasn't for the circumstances of her environment, she might've had the chance to change.
Vernon is born in 1952, A year before Laos gained its independence as a nation (before that, the French recolonized, and before THAT, the Japanese).
For the first six years of her life, Vernon was raised lucky by all means; Rich family, A loving mother and father, grandparents that doted on her, etc. she was well liked by her peers for being friendly, charismatic, and extremely intelligent.
Vernon always exhibited a certain cruelty in her play as a child. She would rip off limbs of insects and line them up, have lizards drop their tails to look at the inside of it, peel back the skin of hers/other's cuts and scrapes. Vernon's parents disciplined her of course, it's just what some kids did at the time and that was their job to fix that.
It wasn't until 1960, one year into the Lao Civil War, when she first witnessed devastation. It wasn't much, Vernon (8) didn't see anything but the rubble of homes and buildings. But there was a little urge in her that wanted to see if there was anything left in them she could keep.
She was caught digging through the rubble of a neighbor's house. Her parents, were furious. She wasn't allowed to leave their side now, they were worried sick, her behavior was subdued for the convenience of her parents.
Four years later, 1964 Americans were now dropping bombs to fight the communist uprising in Laos. A planeload of cluster bombs dropped every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day. Vernon (12) saw death, the smell of ashes, burning hair and skin, limbs strewn about. She was terrified, but fascinated. It was meat, it used to be a person but now it's nothing but flesh. She wished she could've held it for a little bit, poked it, dissect it.
Her parents were already planning to leave Laos due to the tension from the civil war over the years, but now? They had to move fast, gathering what money they had to go to Thailand and taking a boat to America. They got out within the first 4 months.
Vernon lived a relatively normal life in Sacramento. Excelling in school, having a good group of friends. It wasn't until she landed her job as an Archeologist that her behavior, subdued for years, went haywire. Her job was just an outlet for it.
If you got this far, thank you for reading :D I tend to ramble a lot so if there's anything you'd like for me to clarify feel free to tell me!
Ngl I thought vernon was chell after seeing her with Am lol
I think it's because of the tank top xD I actually took the outfit inspo from this look Helga Sinclair (Atlantis: Lost Empire) wore!
I hadn't heard of chell until a couple days ago since I don't often dabble in Video Games, but it's a pleasant surprise!
(Plus I just like drawing pretty Ladies in Tank tops lolol)
Phayvanh and Vernon in Tank tops :3

SCREAMING AND THRASHING YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO FIND ME AUGHHHH (Hi lock thank you for the ask skibidi)
๐ย Do you prefer loose sketching or fully rendering pieces (or any stage in between)?
It usually depends on my mood; I spend a lot of my time working on story writing, scripting for the comic so it's just good to have the idea out of my brain :"D but I usually like Sketching THEN colouring if I have the time (I get carried away so sometimes they become fully rendered lmao).
๐ย A relationship youโd like to see more of in fic (can be platonic, romantic, familial, enemies, etc.)
Platonic relationships (I'm gonna ramble on this one so be prepared)
I feel like purely platonic relationships between a gay man and another man aren't shown enough in media.
Like one where there's no "savior complex" between them that I often see in media with queer characters-just mutual respect. They support each other as equals, without any need to fix or change or "protect" one another.
It's important to me because that lack of representation is part of why some people say things like, "I don't mind them being gay, just don't shove it in my face." or still feel uncomfortable around queer people. It's frustrating because it shows how much people still misunderstand those dynamics.
Oh and it'd be super awesome to see more found family stuff, I'm a big sucker for found family that's still flawed
OR have like younger characters in fiction be taken seriously (Idk how to put it) sometimes I feel that when a series has a character that's a kid or teen, they're often reduced to being like the character for the cute/funny moments where their opinions don't really matter. (Like a Baby Macguffin almost).
There's honestly so many tropes I wanna see more in fiction and fanfiction but AHH it'd take forever to get through all of them.
YUHH!!
Doodles of me as my self inserts:
