Going Mini Golfing :)

New PFP in all its rushed glory

FINALLY! FINALLY I BRING YALL-

OC Rambles

This is MC.

Yes, MC. Yes, as in ‘Main Character’. Any pronouns apply.

As guessable from my first piece with them, they were based off of ‘The Main Character’ by Will Wood

MC is a self aware beacon of chaos and distraction with a roulette wheel for a moral compass and void where their common sense should be. Once upon a time they had their own story, their own life, but becoming self aware through an incident I haven’t yet thought of kinda screwed that up. Since then, he’s spent his time hopping from story to story, stealing any type of aspects from said tale’s characters (costumes, traits, backstory- you name it) before leaving the world in shambles. They stick heavily to the “It doesn’t matter what I do, cause I’m the main character which means you’ve gotta like me” mindset, which makes for a deadly (sometimes literally) combo with her childish nature. They jump into/out of stories and just around in general by book- yes, book. Books are like portals to them, little doorways they can run through. Paintings are also an option, but books are much preferred. If there’s a book, MC has an escape route.

This is Dexter

He/they pronouns.

Nicknames (most if not all given by MC) include- Dex, D-Man, Dr. D, Doc, Death, Grim, and more to come for sure)

Based off of ‘Memento Mori: the most important thing in the world’ also by Will Wood, his character centers heavily around death. While they aren’t Death itself, they are one of the many embodiments of it. With heavy inspiration from the skeletal Grim Reaper and dapper clothing, we get a silly little dude who is far too upfront about the dead honest truth; that being that we all die in the end. With a mini scythe as a cane and his ever ticking stopwatch, Dexter travels reminding those who’ve forgotten about ‘the most important thing’. A firm believer of the ‘life was ment to be lived’ mindset, he tries to keep their little lessons upbeat but to the point. No use sugarcoating the facts, after all. They’re calm yet charismatic, joyful yet morbid. In terms of travel, they kind of just appear when needed. Nothing fancy, maybe a poof of smoke or some sparkles here and there but still tame nonetheless.

Seeing as y’all love my RTC content so much

BOOM! RTC Pumpkin

The Ballad of Jane Doe Behind the Scenes

Listen yes I know the ‘draw the squad’s are the most basic and boring thing ever but this is literally all I could think of when I saw ‘The Ballad of Jane Doe’ in the bootleg- not blurred, sketch, and a little silly third version under the cut :)

Fear

C’mon babe, why don’t we paint the town…

And all that Jazz~!

Hey Gatsby people, I know I’ve seen ppl talk about a reincarnation AU and wanted to try my hand at it (thanks @writerinconstantcrisis for listening and helping this bullshit lmao). Please consider-

Nick, having successfully published his memoir The Great Gatsby, stands as the last of their group to die

The gang are reincarnated and run into each other just a tad earlier than before, their Junior Year of High School. They become great friends, absolutely clueless to their past lives

Spring of their Junior Year they get the good ol required reading of The Great Gatsby, in which their friend group just sorta laughs at it although Nick can’t shake this sense of Deja Vu reading it…

It comes to a head for him in the hallway one day leaving class when Jay calls him “old sport” (“because it sounds cool! I like it, I’m gonna bring it back.” “You’re gonna look like an idiot, James.”) Nick is hit with an entire lifetimes worth of memories in one go

Has to spend the rest of high school in constant crisis because none of the others know, they clearly don’t know, if they knew they wouldn’t be hanging around George and Myrtle so casually oh god he’s gonna be sick-

Jordan remembers next, at a graduation party. Nick decided to shoot the long shot and mention how he’s never liked small parties because there’s no privacy. Jordan is left reeling but at least Nick is there to help her

Daisy finds out next, although she’s alone when it happens. It’s their first year of college and she’s left reeling and on her own. At first Nick thinks nothing of her sudden texting spree in the group chat (which was jokingly named “The Gay Gatsby” back in high school and hasn’t changed) until Christmas, when he sees that look in her eyes and spends the rest of dinner staring her down until he can ask in private. She cries for an hour at least

Tom remembers second to last, his Junior Year of college when he and Daisy get together (on much better terms, mind you, and both he and Daisy are better people because screw you it’s my AU and I get to fix the characters) Like Daisy I’m not sure exactly what his trigger event is but it hits him and hard. First off, gaining a second lifetime of memories is rough. Second, he was an asshole oh my gosh. Third, he caused the death of someone he gets along with pretty well now (no, he and Gatsby are not best buds. They’re more like those friends who constant piss each other off as a show of affection). He’s not the other three there for him though so it’s not terrible.

Gatsby is last. First to die, last to remember and boy does it hit him like a brick. They’re out of college, hanging at Nick and Jay’s shared apartment (roommates, but room for ship because I do, but can be platonic) when someone says something and immediately everything shatters. His admittedly short life crashes back harder than the others’ ever did (except maybe Nick) and he is absolutely broken by it. It takes three days for Nick to be able to talk to him, and that’s not even beginning to acknowledge the others.

Once everyone is back and ticking, barely comprehending what’s going on mind you but they’re trying, they all vow to never let the events of that summer happen again. They’re on a good roll already but they need to keep it up. For everyone’s sakes

That’s the jist of it main plot wise. I’m gonna include some additional sillies under the cut. Feel free to ask/comment/whatever about this AU if you’ve got questions, because I have a lot of thoughts for it lmao

Additional disaster-

Every time someone remembers, they watch the 2013 movie together with those who know and laugh at the inconsistencies/wrong things. It helps them make light of their shitty pasts.

Furthermore, every time someone remembers Nick rereads the book. He can’t forget. He refuses to.

Once Jay remembered and the shitstorm passed, everything returning to as it had been was marked by everyone in their group chat sending some form of “Close enough, welcome back The Gay Gatsby.” Jay laughed for ages at it. Nick had to respond for him.

Everyone has dreams about their past life, although for some it’s more common. Namely for Nick and Jay, whose reoccurring dreams are more like nightmares

Nick feels responsible for everyone. He was the first to remember, he wrote the book, he has to be there for them better this time around. He fails to remember that they’re there for him too, which comes to a head when they find him passed out, locked in his room, surrounded by smudged pages on which he was once again trying to recall that summer by memory. Things get worse when he lets it slip that he was easily ten times worse when writing the original TGG. Mandatory group therapy amongst each other doubles in frequency, with the others refusing to let Nick just brush over the shit he was put through because of them.

Everyone calls bullshit on Nick’s flawless A in English 11. Why? “HE DIDNT HAVE TO READ SHIT! HE WROTE THE DAMN BOOK!” Nick claims that’s their problem, not his.

After first regaining his memories, Nick became very reclusive. He hid from his friends until they broke into his room, partially RAN from George and Myrtle every time he saw them, and became very invested in rereading TGG. Oddly enough though he wasn’t adverse to hugs, especially from Jay. In truth, it was because he just liked hearing his friend’s heartbeat. It helped remind him that he had a second chance, they all did

Jay and Tom argue a lot still, but about the stupidest things. Once things settled from Jay remembering, Jordan, Daisy, and Him were hanging out when suddenly they heard a loud argument approaching. Nick braced for the worst, only to find the two arguing about whether normal or Dino nuggets were better. Idiots.

Nick, having no other outlet for his feelings and thoughts toward his past life at the time, took to his English class’ book discussions to discuss and explain things missed or misunderstood. He was. Rather passionate about proving his point when someone tried to claim he was wrong. He wrote the book damnit!

Jordan is a Lesbian and proud, Nick is Gay, Gatsby is Bi. It’s practically stated in the book but I just need to say it here to be sure.

Jay has had an “irrational fear of pools” since he was a kid. It makes sense in hindsight

And I think that’s all I have for now! Please, if there’s any interest in this AU, do not be afraid to let me know. I will rant. I am trash. Don’t forget it

Today, I took Somewhere That’s Green from Little Shop (one of my long term favorite musicals) to State for Choir

Today, I got the highest rating I could on my performance of Somewhere That’s Green

Hello hi yes I’m not dead. Where have I been the past two ish weeks? Looking for motivation to do anything but that’s not the point of this post. The point of this post is to share some art. So

There are spoilers for the ending of Ride the Cyclone under the cut so be warned okay now onto the art

For a little background, @fitheghosty created this AU for Ride the Cyclone that’s absolutely consumed my mind. The rough concept goes that after Penny is brought back the choir is also thrown back into the living world as ghosts that only Penny can see. Penny doesn’t remember them, and vice versa, BUT in one of her posts, Fi mentioned Penny summoning the choir. I’m perfectly aware there’s probably a completely different way it went but that doesn’t stop my brain from imagining it going a little something like this…

I’ve been wanting to draw more again but I’ve had no ideas so take these OC drawings of mine using some of those good ol unhinged photos as bases

More about these idiot siblings under the cut

Using the bottom photo as reference, here are who these four are (top to bottom)

Nova - She/Her, Oldest, Sarcastic and stupid (affectionate), Tomfoolery coordinator extraordinaire. Often wearing Black, Maroon, or Grey

Vern - He/Him, Second Oldest, more reserved yet just as stupid, Shenanigans second in command. Often wearing Muted Greens, Browns, and other Earthy Tones

Ambrose - He/Him, Second Youngest, smug little bastard, clownery conductor in training. Often wearing Oranges, Greys, and other

Vivian (Viv) - She/Her, Youngest, Big Sis’ attitude with double the energy, following in her siblings footsteps causing chaos

These four have been in my mind for ages and my lack of art for them is just sad so behold. I love them with all my heart. Happy to answer any questions y’all might have, and as always I’m open to ideas. Hope y’all enjoy

This is a formal apology to all those whom I’ve left on read/delivered due to the resurgence of my Professor Layton fixation

My b, yall. My b
