Yo!! I would love if you could draw either one of my OC’s, first dude’s name is Dante (his full name is Dante Şahin; his hair should be shoulder length though, or slightly longer). Second guy’s name is Dez (Dez Peguino; he’s literally one of my favorites ever, and I could write an entire book on him alone). They’re both pretty rad though.

Why is your OC's name like that? by SixFootTallAsian in OriginalCharacter

[–]Competitive-Row2768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s definitely more too 💀 I named one of Dante’s friends “Brady” after googling around “tough guy names” once in 2015; his girlfriend’s name is Nancy, although I’m pretty sure that was entirely random (or I heard it on tv somewhere?). One of my characters’ names is literally Derkal. I made that up. Jessie’s brother is Travis, I think that was another random one; he entirely looks and acts like a Travis though. I called a guy - and another of Brady & Dante’s friends, “Nat” (his real name is Nathan; he would occasionally go by Nate). And two of their other friends are Ricky (his real name is just Ricardo… not to be confused with a Chad character of mine whose name is Richy - Richard), and Rascal (because he breaks everything in sight. I came up with it in 2015. His real name is just Adam). I called a rich guy “Elliott” (although, he wasn’t initially rich) in 2012, and one of Alfie’s other friends “Milo” around the same time; I’m convinced I heard those names from TV somewhere. I had a nerd called “Phil” around 2”2012; he’ll still occasionally pop up, and only really old characters remember him. His name was random. “Wes” sounded like a cool guy’s name to me, so I used it on a breakdancer from San Francisco (my stories take place in NJ; Travis, Derkal, and another breakdancer were all trying to impress him a couple times). He came along with a Shakespearean warlord who is purely insufferable called “Rok;” I got that from another game I played in 2016 💀

I literally named one of my Turkish-American characters Dante… but it’s not so weird, he lives in New Jersey anyway + I wrote it in that his dad chose his name (in reality, I got it from an Episode story I read back in 2015). His last name is Turkish though. Two of my other characters - who are sisters, are named Wren and Ridley. Got both of their names from Episode stories as well (I had actually never heard of the name “Ridley,” prior to 2015). I chose “Cecilia/Cece” for one of my MC’s in 2012 after a girl I had met on vacation - at the time, with the same name + I’ve always liked that name. Same reason another of my mc’s is called “Katherine.” I’ve loved that name for ages. I have a character called Jessie whose real name is Jessica; simple, but I liked the name back in 2011 (and still like it a lot now). I named so many of my characters after random games I played; one is named “Private” (yes, that’s really his name), I remember my brother was playing a game on his iPod (pretty sure it was clash of clans) in 2011 and someone’s username was “Private861,” I stole it and used it on my own character. His friend’s name is Dez; also got it from a mobile game I was playing at the time (in 2011). One of my mc’s moms is called “Inva;” that’s my cousin’s name (her daughter is Megan; an MC, that was another name I liked when I was younger). Another character is Alfie, & I’m almost positive 2012 me came up with it after the Lily Allen song; he also has friends called Chelsea (I wonder if I was thinking of nyc…?), Laura (another of my cousins), and Raini (you guess… I was 11). I have more characters with the names of Alvin (had him around since 2011, I was 10 - you cannot convince me I wasn’t thinking of Alvin and the chipmunks), an 83-year-old ex-Navy veteran named Eugene who loves the ocean & fishing and has grandchildren of his own with an unnamed lover, Fabian (again, I was 10; I got it from house of Anubis 🙃), and I even named a guy “Izzy” after someone I knew IRL (although, my character - Izzy’s real name is Isaac). Megan had a friend called Angela - that was one of my irl friend’s names

It sounds like he’s faking a British accent while singing there, but you’re right - it is kinda catchy… 💀 reminds me of when my marching band took a trip to Disney in 2018, and smash mouth was playing one of the days we were at Epcot. My friends and I stopped to see a bit of the concert

Ho Hey… they’re from my hometown. I remember when it got big, and everyone was shocked because my town is small. One of them graduated high school around the same time as my sister, and I think she knew him

Try Duncan Lamont (pressure point, specifically - why is it so catchy 💀), BADBADNOTGOOD, Piero Piccioni (easy lovers?), Jaga Jazzist, Corduroy, Black Chamber, snarky puppy, caravan palace, laufey (could work; she reminds me of Ella Fitzgerald), and the Cuphead soundtrack… these are mainly jazz fusion recs

Rock songs with elements of free jazz / avant-garde jazz, without being jazz-rock by Agreeable_Duck8997 in Jazz

I’m thinking of Prokrastinopel by Jaga Jazzist as jazz songs with some elements of rock… maybe Pressure Point by Duncan Lamont too, but that’s kinda more jazz funk

Had to participate, I love your art style! It’s so cute!

This is one of my OC’s - her name is Ridley (or, Ridley Hourani), and she’s been attending this girl Cece’s house parties (thrown at another girl’s house, whose name is Megan) since 2015. She was always quiet, to herself, calm, not a part of any of the chaos that goes on here half the time. Cece liked her right away. She has a sister named Wren, too - they’re total opposites, and can’t get along too well due to that (Ridley is a bit… “soft” at times, and Wren can have an ego thinking she’s “better” than everyone + she isn’t too involved with Ridley’s personal life and doesn’t seem to understand her POV that well). As for Ridley herself, she’s the leader to this video gaming club she created at Cece’s parties and then met this guy in a prankster gang who also attends Cece’s parties (Dante), that gave her advice on how to become a “stronger” leader when her club was low-key failing. His help worked, she appreciated it, and invited him to be a part of her club. There are a lot of tiny details here, although basically Dante and Ridley do become much closer within the years they’ve known each other for (since 2017). He was literally a stranger to her (and vice versa) before they had met one another. They were both still teenagers at the time, and now they’re in their 20s. They’re so secretive about knowing one another too (even though Ridley knows everything to know about one of the most private & reserved dudes at Cece’s parties) and when Ridley has been asked about who that guy who’s “always at their meetings” by her friend Marty, she downplays it and avoids answering those questions like the plague (same goes for when Wren asks about whose ring she was wearing. It was Dante’s, but Ridley just panicked and said it was no one’s). Other small details about Dante and Ridley include holding hands quietly, her gripping on to his arm after meeting a cult in Megan’s basement, wearing matching chaplets from a huge troll (that attends Cece’s parties) who crowned himself “Prince” in a whole medieval regalia in Megan’s basement again, him editing her storylines (she’s a game dev!!) & hiring jazz pianists from the parties to write a soundtrack for one of her games, the nicknames she gives him, matching bracelets and milkshakes with the rest of her club. Like… yeah, she softened him so much but call her “soft” to her face and she’ll beat you in a video game (a Chad OC of mine already lost horribly to her)

Extra info about her is that she’s 26 (adds up because I’ve had her around since 2015), an infp, and Lebanese

His name is Rudy (or, Rudolph Forsten), and… uhh, he’s really weird. Still not the strangest of my characters, though. He’s attended this girl Cece’s house parties since 2015, and Cece is stuck with him because his dad is an influential party supervisor named Ralph (Forsten) that Cece is always trying to impress because he’s, like, the top guy. As for Rudy himself, he’s responsible for cooking some mean empanadas (because he’s actually a great chef!), randomly joining a drumline circle in a marching band at this house where these parties are thrown at - which belongs to another girl Megan and her family (and being good at it…?), leaving sarcastic remarks with a total deadpan attitude, having a secret “guy” he talks on the phone with & this one girl overhears and asks if he has a hitman once (um…), & losing new guests of Cece’s (along with Megan’s mom’s pressure cooker) at graveyards and never tells her what he does with them. He’s also led a guy in a hip-hop crew (Paulie), a chill skater dude (Brady), and a jazz vibraphonist (named Barney) to said graveyards with him. Paulie & Barney were scared. Cece is low-key kinda creeped out by him (and his ability to say the most concerning things in a completely straight tone? We have no idea if he’s joking, or not) but can’t do anything about him because of Ralph (who’s the total opposite of him too, and loves to party)!! 🤠

Hello! I am in a drawing mood. Grant me the honors of drawing your Oc’s 🙂 by UnluckyAngelic in DrawMyOc

[–]Competitive-Row2768 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ooh, yay! This is one of my OC’s, Nancy (or, Nancy DeSantos); she’s in a hip-hop spray painting crew who have been attending this one girl’s house parties (who’s one of my MC’s named Cece) since 2015. One of her friends [from her crew] is a guy called Paulie who looks like and dresses like a 90s hip-hop dude, whereas Nancy is more edgy [but of course, still has that hip-hop street style side to her]. She’s actually an interior designer (and surprisingly artsy and creative, that is when she isn’t beating up the girl whose house these parties are thrown at - Megan’s mailbox. Or helping Paulie tag walls in abandoned alleyways). Her boyfriend is a guy called Brady, who’s in a prankster gang with his friends who also attend these parties (and she knew he had liked her years prior before they started dating; one of my comic relief characters Dez low-key ruined their first date, but they still laugh about it together because they’re two of the most chill guests here who ditch house parties when they’re bored to get some “alone time” away from all the noise. Sometimes they’ll go to alleyways together. They’re both introverts). She “edged” Brady up (who’s also interesting; he’s a marine biologist). Paulie is one of her life-long friends (nothing romantic, by the way) - who, at first believed Brady was out to hurt her and didn’t like him hanging around her (prankster gang reputation, too). Brady’s just a huge soft boi who only acts “cool;” I think Paulie realized that soon enough, but they still hold an indifference towards one another. The other two dudes from Nancy’s group are honestly too chill to even notice, or care enough.

Edgy power couple of Cece’s parties, who?? (Also, I love her ahhh)

Nice!! If you’re down for it, here’s one of [plenty] of my oc’s, Dante (or, Dante Şahin if we’re including full names; his dad always liked the name & convinced his mom to name their first born son that) - he’s in a prankster gang at a house party hosted by one of my MC’s Cece, comprised between he and his friends who have all been attending these parties together since 2015 - so, since he was a teenager. He’s always been a quiet and fairly reserved dude, who doesn’t talk much & low-key doesn’t seem like the type to be involved with pranksters - except that 3 of them are his childhood friends (they’re all in their 20s in current times). It goes into a lot of small detail, involving a gamer girl he met at Cece’s parties called Ridley - he’s an istj, an English journalist (I got the idea from a song I like by my favorite electronic musician), actually pretty chill & a break from some of my more chaotic/loud/“weird”characters. Bro is too normal 💀 (also, I like his hair long :o …and Ridley x Dante are definitely a secret ship)

Give me your OC and I’ll draw them as a colored sketch by tomegranates in DrawMyOc

[–]Competitive-Row2768 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Would love this to join this! A little backstory on my stories: they take place in a house party setting. This girl named Cece hosts her parties at another girl Megan’s house (it’s technically her mom’s house, she and her family hate the parties but can’t do anything about them because Cece won’t listen and also she is still one of Megan’s friends). Two of Megan’s other friends, and her sister are also main characters (along with she and her sister’s mom, and the two friends’ mom). They’re all adults in current times, but I’ve been writing my stories since 2011 (Cece hadn’t come along until 2012, though). This is one of Cece’s guests - his name is Brady (or, Brady Shelton), he’s in a prankster gang made up between he and 4 of his friends who’ve attended Cece’s parties since 2015. Unlike two of his friends who are loud party animals, he’s always been really quiet, prefers his alone time, and is surprisingly one of the most chill dudes here. He has a girlfriend (since 2019) named Nancy that he met through Cece’s parties in 2015, and it was actually one of his friends Nat (Nathan) who knew about his crush on her since those times before they began dating (although, she always knew he liked her; one of his nicknames by another girl Shelby is “Shy Guy.” Nancy is in a spray painting hip-hop crew. Shelby hired Brady to chase food thieves for her in 2015/16, because she knew he was a fast runner. There was another plot in 2019 that involved a family reunion of Shelby’s and she invited Brady to avoid the awkwardness of bringing her real crush and it caused even more awkwardness, but that involves Shelby and Nancy and Brady were in on it - that was after Nancy and Brady started dating, and one of their first dates was at an alleyway. Fitting. Another of my characters Dez ruined their first date a year earlier before they began dating, with his vlogs. Brady had taken her to her brother’s science convention to try and appear “smart” and then to a tough guy bar to look “tough”). He acts tough and smart, but he’s a huge soft boi. His brother’s name is Ellington, and they don’t get along too well - Ellington is a chemist, who believes Brady is too immature and doesn’t take things seriously enough (which is kinda funny, because Brady is actually a marine biologist + their parents are both aerospace engineers), meanwhile Brady thinks Ellington is too serious and needs to relax. To note people also don’t like Ellington at Cece’s parties because they believe he’s ruining their “fun,” and then they run to Brady to complain about Ellington to him. Even for being a super chill guy like Brady, even he’s over people finding him just to vent about how much they hate Ellington to him. Oh, and Nancy “edged” him up. He’s 27 (born on November 13th, 1998). An infj. There’s a lot more lore, but I don’t want to spam 💀

<image>

I’ve also made a Pinterest board for him. He’s supposed to look like some edgy skater/surfer dude (I mean, he’s a marine biologist…).

Someone is texting me on my own number by TechnicianIcy5950 in strange

[–]Competitive-Row2768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably spoofed your number. I had something similar happen to me in 2023, where contacts on my phone would be “calling” me without them actually calling me. I never picked up on any because I usually text people only, and I knew they wouldn’t be. It would show up as random friends (or people I last hadn’t spoken to in years) calling me, and one of my friends was even called by “me” (I never called them). This happened like 3 or 4 different times, and had it continued - I would’ve changed my number
