American Fear Buddies - Blog Posts

Ok, so quick thingy that's related to ocs and art and all that stuff, even if I'm not posting art in this post, lol. My friend is thinking about starting a blog dedicated to our American fear buddies character group! (And I've been making a whole ass PowerPoint for them during my free time because I absolutely love making stuff about them) so I thought that I should probably explain the premise before I post more about backstories and art and stuff.

So, the concept started from just a little funky thought that was something around the lines of "What if there were fear avatars like in the tma universe, except that they didn't wanna harm others and were just trying to live their lives?" And since both my friend and I love tma/tmagp, it was easy to just start building from there! One character turned to two, which turned into fourteen, and that turned into sixteen (as we have two people who are in The Desolation). We together decided that all of them live in this old house and try to look after each other, viewing each other as a found family of sorts. Their ages range from 10-27, so no, it's not just teenagers or anything. There will be more detailed lore and information in backstories (and maybe on the blog my friend is making). I also wanna specify that I haven't forgotten my earlier ocs that I've posted about and I still love them a ton,I'm juat extra interested in the fear buddies.

Yeah, I just wanted to come here to explain and ramble about the goobers I love working on lmao. I hope anyone who sees them will enjoy it as much as I do! Especially because this is motivating me to draw more than I've wanted to draw in a long time and actually feel like my art doesn't look like hot garbage! (Also, apologies for any bad English, my first language isn't English.)

Hello! Sorry I've been dead with art, but I wanted to show off some characteristics that I've made with a friend of mine that I drew. (The family story with Avery, Larry and Thomas hasn't been forgotten about btw, I've just got another story going on that's been inspired by The Magnus Archives/The Magnus protocol that I'm making with an irl friend)

So, on the left, you see Phoenix! He's fully made by my friend as he's their older oc, who was then thrown into the story universe, lol. He's 18 ish and a big brother figure to some of the kids and teens, like Dez and Lonney, who are also shown in the picture. He's technically an adult, but all the actual adults who live in the house they live in count him as a teenager and for damn good reasons. He's got some anger issues he's working on through art and has leather gloves to keep him from setting stuff on fire as he's one of the avatars of The Desolation in the story.

The middle little dude is Dez! They're 16 and the avatar of the Spiral. It's not shown in the drawing, but they have unnaturally long, sharp fingers due to their connection to The Spiral. They struggle to do many everyday things with them, but they're slowly learning every day. They're very happy in their found family and have given everyone nicknames. (Phoenix's is Sparky and Lonney's is Foggy)

Lonney, the last person in the picture, is also 16. They're the avatar of The Lonely, aka supernatural depression is kinda kicking their ass. They've been friends with Dez for years and are pretty happy now having a nice found family (even if they have a resting disappointed face). They start emitting fog whenever they start disassociating or they get otherwise upset.

(All in all, their found family consists of 16 people, including these three goobers, soooo yeah, there may be art of the others if i get the energy to learn to draw more lol)
