#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ Our internet was down this morning and just got fixed. Nyway, gonna be doing some tidying/fixing up our room cos the bins J shipped with more of our stuff arrived and so i gotta. Sort thru stuff and throw out boxes and rearrange stuff

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ We r leaving and picking up food 🥹 it was. A bit rough.

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ Going 2 fall fest at the elementary school w mini Zack my mom and lil sis 🤸🏼‍♀️ hoping its chill and i can handle it

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ Rural areas, even though she grew up in midgar/shinra. Seeing wide open areas, the sky, greenery, it helps her feel less claustrophobic, and reminds her she's free.

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ It's basically shitting on the people who do love/write with ur oc u know? I get having insecurities (i have them too!) but u can express that without throwing it in the faces of people who do support u. It's like saying those ppl aren't good enough and that's just shitty u know

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ Want to write with ur ocs. And I can't tell u how. It is an immediate turn off to see someone lamenting that nobody cares about their oc(s) when there absolutely are people who write with them. That immediately makes me write someone off because like

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ Oh also i think one big thing about making oc's, as a certified oc maker of 2 decades now is accepting that not everyone is gonna like ur ocs or want to write with them. And that's okay! Learning to accept that is important. *Especially* because there are going to be people who do

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ I feel like I've taken nyquil again but I haven't (because its not even 2pm yet lol) just super sluggish and my voice is just shot. I don't even feel like Sick Sick, just. Ughhhfhf

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ At the end of the day, she's my baby and I've made it work. People write with her because im enthusiastic and put her out there. That's the most important thing: be confident with your own oc. Nothing will turn anyone away quicker than if ur just shitting on ur own oc.

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ For me, I rly do enjoy viewing my oc's as a sort of puzzle piece i fit into canon, and figuring out how they do fit in, logically. I've worked really hard to do that for Eve, despite others naysaying and telling me I shouldn't have an oc that's related to a canon character

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ where you have to learn to play with others, unless you're like, just privately rping with friends who dgaf. Otherwise, literally who cares. Be self indulgent. None of what we're doing is "canon" anyway. Figure out what's fun for you when making an oc.

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ Around their oc who is the most perfect darling ever, and worshipped by the masses. But that's less about the OC at a certain point tho, and more about someone wanting to live out their power fantasy over others. & that's specific to roleplaying,

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ &yeah, you might be accused of mary-sue-ing/gary stu-ing. It's a rite of passage. And i DO think if you're, very specifically, roleplaying with other *people* you should rein in some of that, in order to play nice, you know? I've seen verses get torn up cos ppl want a cult of personality

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ Literally do whatever you want and very specifically do not listen to people who tell you "how to create an oc"/"here's how to write an oc the right way." There is no right or wrong way, you are creating something out of nothing. The only limits are the ones you set for yourself

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ Because I've always been the Oldest and blah blah blah probably something about wanting an older sibling looking out for me because i was lonely growing up.

#ooc⁺₊⋆☾ Because i grew up as an only child + i was meant to be a twin (that died in utero and i absorbed them) i am (if it's not super obvious) kind of a sucker for tragic siblings trope, especially twins lol. Like 99% of my ocs are either twins with a canon character or the younger sibling
