I have to say that I was dying to reference The Tale of Despereaux with this character. That book means so much to me. I haven't read Alice in Wonderland in a long time, so I forget what the dormouse is like in the book. Mallory is based on the Disney movie because of that. I consider Mallory to be one of my more interesting twst ocs becasue he was a very late bloomer with his magic. He only developed his UM shortly before being accepted to NRC, so he's still figuring it out and doesn't have a name for it. I can see his magic being comparable to Trey's. Mallory really looks up to Victor because they see him as a role model and someone to strive to be like. I don't have much else to say except they struggle with anxiety plus the feeling of failure and has a stutter.

Thankfully Ibis Paint was able to restore the file when my tablet crashed so I didn't lose my progress.

Oc? Sona? Idk.

I used to hate trying to draw chibis because I could never figure out the proportions, but I think I need to do this more often. This was very experimental and I'm not exactly happy with it, but I'm proud because this is the first drawing that I've actually finished in a year. I have very mixed feelings about the brush I used. It looked very nice for the line art, but I also used it for the colors too and that sure was a process. I wanted to try something new so I just put the colors under the line art layer and erased the extra instead of trying to stay in the lines.

Overall this was very good practice because I need to learn to stop demanding perfection from myself and let my art be more messy than I normally allow it to be.

Extra version without the line art because it looked surprisingly cute instead of horrific:

So I'm working on a costume design project for She Kills Monsters, and I was talking to my teacher about how I was having trouble with Lilith's costume because I was unsure what was too much and how appropriate I need to keep the costumes, and the response I got was to "Look up Rocky Horror Show". I have more questions than answers.

The next oc bio will be posted on my main and rebloged on the account that I use for normal stuff

Twst OC Bio: Desmond Hound

Oc #3! Technically I came up with this one before Xenio, but I didn't know if I actually wanted to make any twst based ocs then.

Basics:

Name: Desmond Hound

Rambling:

I will admit that he's not a very fleshed out character yet. He's very similar to Ruggie. Desmond's family struggled to make money while he was growing up, and what they did have always went to the most important things first. Things were getting better before he went to NRC, and he's happy that his younger sister won't have the same childhood than he did. He's very competitive because of a need to be when he was little. His UM comes from needing to steal food sometimes, this also caused him to be very crafty and able to disappear quickly. I don't have much more to say, I still need to work on the kind of person that Desmond is while at NRC. So here's some info about his sister: Her name is Lilly, and she's 8 years old. She's trying to grow her hair as long as possible and loves ladybugs :)

Have you ever heard of power clashing? I recently learned about it, it's fashion where you intentionally pair patterns together that go against each other and break fashion "rules".

This is pretty much Xenio's signature style.

Vil barely tolerates it. Scolding Xenio for it would go against why she transferred to Pomefiore, so Vil lets it slide (at the cost of his own sanity). In contrast, Rook loves their style.

Clyde 🤝 Xenio

Horrendous fashion

They are making Vil have a stroke and several students burst into tears together

The people have decided! I'll be writing about the lead up and beginning of Xenio's overblot!

Writing is still giving me panic attacks, but I do want to get back into it. I think writing for my ocs instead of fics would be easier rn, so:

I need to get the rest of my edits out of my drafts, quite a few have just been sitting there. I made this one on Halloween.

New icon!!

YO I had no idea you and my-cursed-brain were the same person??? I guess I just didn't notice lol. That aside, new moot! And thank you for liking and engaging with my posts so much I really appreciated it :)

Np! I love your posts so much! I've just been pretty quiet because of my social anxiety. I haven't had time very recently, but I've been trying to go back and read your writing and oc content. You're an amazing writer and I honestly look up to your writing abilities! Sorry for the confusion from my blogs!

15, 32, and 48 for any of your skrunklies >:)

>:D

- 15: Are they more likely to fight with their fists or their tongue?

Desmond would be the most likely to fight with his fists, he's not great with words but he knows how to defend himself and has no problem with it if it's justified. Corvus and Victor are both. They're better with their words than their fists, but they do decent if a situation escalates. Lumi is 100% a verbal fighter, they know exactly how to tear someone down and exactly which buttons to push. Xenio, Lucas, and Mallory . . . are neither. They're the kind of people to just take whatever comes their way and put a brave face on. They act fine, but they always take things to heart.

- 32: Does your character believe in ghosts?

Desmond and Lumi don't. Twst may be a magical world, but that doesn't mean that the supernatural exists to them. Victor, Mallory, and Lucas are neutral. They don't really believe in the supernatural, but if they were given proof or experienced something personally, they wouldn't be surprised. Xenio and Corvus absolutely believe in ghosts and the supernatural. In Xenio's case, I've been working on doing world building for harpy culture, and superstitions and the supernatural are a big part of it. For Corvus, it's more of a headcanon for fae in twst. My headcanon is that since fae seem to possess magic differently / more intensely than other species, it acts differently after death. Until a fae's magic is completely burned through, after death a part of them will wander until their magic is returned to the earth. I'm treating Lilia as an outlier since he's different because of burning through a large portion of his magic and because fae do have expected lifespans, even if they're much longer than other species.

- 48: Do they have any allergies?

Mallory can't eat mangos, and Lucas is lactose intolerant.

Tysm for the asks! :)
