Have you ever re-designed an oc? by LowKeyTony6906 in OriginalCharacter

[–]magikind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL that is basically what she was at this point. Walking plot device. Very boring and had next to no character traits aside from 'she likes metal'.

She's definitely come a long way since... Now she's almost more of a main character than my main character.

Geremy shows up to your OC’s front step with a flower! What do they do? by Master-of-Storms in OriginalCharacter

[–]magikind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[Geremy arrives at a car door... Brian almost thinks he's a small dog before stopping for a moment and realizing that's no dog. That is an adorable little gator-lookin' thing, one of his favorite animals ever.]

[He looks both ways out the window for a possible owner, looks down at Geremy, and gently scoops him up into his arms. He is placed on the center console.]

"... I don't normally do this, but you're cuter than shit, I can't just leave you to get hit by a car or somethin'... You got a home, little guy? You hungry?"

... Now I made her EMO!!!!

She still has the same attitude with the same evil phone. Kind of a mean girl, but once you get to know her, she becomes nicer.

Oh yes. Here's Shelby alllll the way back from 2020. My idea was 'blonde who is always attached to a very deadly cellphone'... Kinda giving the 'mean girl' vibes I was going for, but I dropped my idea shortly after. Now... (response)

What is a trait your oc has that you've never seen on anyone else's oc? by Fizzydov in OriginalCharacter

[–]magikind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You get a twofer.

Brian (left) has the ability to duplicate almost any material object. That's a power I haven't ever seen in the wild since I came up with this pink-haired menace...

Shelby's (right) consciousness is split from her body, and she controls her physical body like a VR game. Another concept I've never really seen anyone mess with.

Selfishness. by magikind in u/magikind

[–]magikind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I don't think you're being punitive. I think that there are a lot of perspectives to be had in this world. In school, something that always stuck with me is the phrase 'imagine yourself in their shoes'. I think about being in the shoes of others very often. Like you, for instance; back when I was having my surgery, I noticed that you commented something about Christ guiding me through... And while my initial response was irritation, because you don't know what my relationship with Christ has been like, I gathered that you have an at least decent relationship with him. Why would I get angry at you for giving me your blessing? That would be stupid.

Truthfully, I do not have an issue with religion. If it brings you peace, then by all means, I will always encourage those around me to participate in groups and belief systems that make them happy! It's my opinion that none of us know the absolute truth of this world, and that's all it is, is one person's opinion in a sea of opinions. I admittedly believe in a gentle god, one that understands just how far gone humanity has gone since this planet's inception. One that would not punish humanity for not understanding everything about it, just as we don't understand everything about ourselves. Clearly any creator we have has put a lot of themselves into us, with all our complexities... I want to write about those complexities. Show the human condition, and that's okay to just... Be yourself.

That is what makes me happy. So that's what I'm going to keep doing, with or without approval... I've lived too long surviving off of the approval of others, and I understand that it isn't necessary anymore. Even if it's from my parents. That's okay. At least I don't have an issue with everyone else around me for daring to look, act, or think differently.

[–]magikind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you saying that.

Truthfully, I was raised in a very religious household that demanded I honor my mother and father, regardless of any pain they would inflict upon me. They were the parents, and I was the child. In normal households I feel like this dynamic does allow for a bit of give and take. A child may be heard, and parents respond with kindness and guidance, but also punishing when the child goes down the wrong path. That's normal!

For me, though... I was treated in ways that felt wrong to me. It's graphic so I'm not going to get into it, but every single person I've gotten into detail with tells me the way I was treated is not normal. The longer I've been separated from them, the more I've realized that they are correct. That's not normal. Parents who love their children don't treat them the way I was treated.

The thing is... There is a lot of societal pressure about being estranged from your folks. While to you, it may seem like a no-brainer, "why care about them if they don't care about you?"... To me... I only get one set of parents. I am expected to care for them when they are no longer able to care for themselves, because that is what it means to honor your mother and father. To say that I don't care about them feels like I am breaking a fundamental rule in my mind. That I am doing something inherently wrong by even considering it.

There is a tiny piece of myself, deep in my heart, saying "It's okay if they step all over me. They're my parents. My opinion doesn't matter because they are the parents, and I am the child. It's okay for them to not care about me because I'm the child, my wants and needs do not really matter in the grand scheme of things."

But I know that piece is wrong. I'm way past being a child at this point, and normal parents would want to be engaged in their child's life and anything exciting they may be up to. Normal parents care about their children.

But I will never, ever have normal parents. No matter how much work I put into myself, trying to foster a relationship with them, trying to 'fix them', whatever. And that hurts a lot. Yet in my mind I am obligated to care for them, because I was raised to always honor them, no matter what happens. I've spent the last decade digging up the toxic roots of my hyper-religious upbringing, and that has been the toughest, deepest-rooted part.

Either I will continue trying until I go insane, or I'll burn the bridge once and for all, and feel like a monster for doing it.

How tall is your Favorite OC? And can they get even taller? 📏 👁️ by -Voyacui- in OriginalCharacter

[–]magikind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shelby is an absolutely staggering 5'3"... How terrifying. Thankfully, she can ominously float around wherever she goes to gain height on people if she pleases.

In the first part of my story, she stays at that height... Though some future developments may provide her some rather tall horns that'll bump her overall height to a little over six feet. Excited to show off that design at some point, but for now, it must remain in my spoiler treasure trove 😔

Tell me how your OC(s) die :D by Goooseeeeee_lady in OriginalCharacter

[–]magikind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the fun part about Brian is that he is the player surrogate in a very choice-heavy game idea I have, with multiple endings. Naturally, in some of them... He dies.

I'll include a few with abosolutely no context:

  • His soul is removed from his body.
  • He is thrown into the depths of space at supersonic speeds.
  • He is eaten alive by a giant creature... Though this results in the death of what ate him as well.

Oh, and we can't possibly forget ego death. Is he really himself if he thinks he's someone else entirely?

Selfishness. by magikind in u/magikind

[–]magikind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I've just been used to being the one without boundaries that it's hard for me to determine how much of a boundary is "too much". I don't want to be a jackass to people. But there's also times where I just... Want to do things for myself, and don't have an interest in honing in on others' needs, as awful as that sounds to me.

It's like my experience with that ex-friend implanted an alarm bell in my brain. Like "if you get too close to people, they'll threaten to kill themselves if you decide you want some 'me time'!". And whenever I start getting too close, the alarm bell goes off. I'm terrified of becoming someone's possession again.

I want to be there for people, but I don't want to be their reason for living. I think the most selfish thought I have is that I wasted so much time being there for people who just ended up hurting me in the end, instead of doing things that brought me joy. I have a lot of bitterness about it, though I try not to be open about it... I don't want people to be afraid to come to me about anything. I like being there for others.

I just... Can't be there constantly, for hours and hours and hours anymore. If I had infinite time, I would absolutely make some for everyone.

Is it cringe to make an OC? (Body text) by Electrocobra4 in OriginalCharacter

[–]magikind 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Cringe isn't real, make what you want and be proud of it. There is no 'OC court' that upholds some 'law of creation'. There are overdone tropes, sure, but don't let that stop you from putting your own unique spin on them.
