Otto Malpense - Blog Posts

if i had a nickel for every time my favorite fictional character was the father figure to a clone bioengineered to have superpowers i would have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

we all bounce from media hyperfixation to media hyperfixation but we retain our Types of character who we consistently become obsessed with

enough ‘does otto 2.0 still have the supercomputer microchip’ discourse. do you think otto managed to forgive hivemind for bringing him back in the first place. do you think he woke up angry. do you think he woke up scared. a boy born with his fate already decided and even in death he couldn’t have his autonomy respected. one minute you’re blowing yourself up to save the world and the next minute you’re alive and naked in a body that looks like your old one but just isn’t, a body that so easily could’ve been another version of you, one with its own consciousness, one that might have been born hating you, one you and your memories replaced. wouldn’t that just be like killing a brother. wouldn’t that fuck you up forever.

been reading H.I.V.E. recently, just finished Rouge and decided that the internet does not have enough animus!otto art. tsk tsk

click for full pic on the last one. i digitized it bc i got bored. i wanna throw him in a blender. also another is under the cut but tw for computer goop vomit

hes suffering ^w^

I really need to start posting art here more, so here, have a fake screenshot from last year.

For those unaware, this is everyone's favorite technopathic clone and a H.I.V.E. OC of mine- Razor, a "graduate" from Raven's year who unfortunately did not get picked up by Nero during the raid on the Glasshouse. He and his team like to make that a problem for everyone, but Razor specifically takes issue with Otto for blowing up Furan's hand and getting her imprisoned. (You could say he's rather attached to her- a lack of parental figures will do that to you. So don't even get me started on his feelings on Raven...) As for the art, I was taking inspiration for the art style of Netflix's Carmen Sandiego (my beloved). If you like animation I highly recommend it! This screenshot definitely shows its age, but I'm still quite pleased with it; I should really try out this style again sometime.

If anyone has any questions about Razor, by all means ask away! He and his team are some of my favorite ocs and I love to ramble : D

Marilliam, Nero/Elena, and Shelby/Otto for the ask!

Thanks for the ask! First, Marilliam:

I like the idea of them being the school's chaotic couple- nobody knows whether they're married or divorced each week, but regardless of their relationship status they'll stand together between classes and gossip about the rest of the staff. And they make each other worse, but also nonetheless manage to be a cute pair.

Nero/Elena:

I don't have a ton to say about them besides I think that they find villainous aesthetics romantic. All the candles, "threats" disguised as flirting, and so on. They're cute. Shelby/Otto:

These two in a relationship is like a match and gasoline; there will be many glorious fires, missing valuables, and lots of bickering. Alas, to me, they're usually in more of a sibling direction in my head- but others' ideas on the ship are fascinating!
