I’ve been kinda meaning to do this for a bit because i’m cringe my own OCs are my most prominent blorbos or whatever you call ‘em. Let’s get started with it
Fursona (they/she)
art by @RoxannaRachnid
First up is my Fursona. Not a ton to say here, just a combination of a jackalope and a wolf, really. I have some vague ideas if I were to ever use them for other sort of fiction purposes, but largely it’s just the avatar I use online. V fluffy and friendly
Nebula is of my characters from a game of Beam Saber, which is a cyberpunk tabletop game. Nebula is a nonbinary pop star turned were-gundam. Through some odd experiments, they gained the ability to transform into a mech. Ended the game of Beam Saber somewhat recently but Nebula is truly never far from my mind. Absolute gender.
Capricorn Missile Launcher (he/him)
angy i can’t find the artist for this one
My beautiful idiot disaster son, he is one of the other characters from my Beam Saber game. He’s all confidence and bravado and, thanks to dice rolls, often is able to back it up. He’s also the son of a renowned pilot from his home region, so he’s always wanted to live up to the Missile Launcher name. He’s yet to disappoint. He’s also a cheeky fucker and his relationship with his boyfriend is absolutely two people endlessly antagonizing one another.
My WoL on Final Fantasy XIV which has free trial up to level 60, including award-winning expansion Heavensward. She’s a cat girl who comes from the desert and sort of stumbled into being the world’s hero. Long story short is she took it on herself because it gave her an identity to hold onto after she was exiled from her tribe. Over time, she’s come into her own in a lot of ways and is much more honest about what she wants, hence why she’s married to one of my alts and, in my sort of headcanons, has a string of NPCs paramours. I sometimes use her as an avatar out on the internet; in a few places my display name is “Osera.” Did not expect to ever be as attached to her as I am. Deep lore note: she was originally going to be a bunny but i didn’t have the expac for it yet when i started because it wasn’t on sale, so cat-girl made sense.
Clarity Zafir (any, pronoun chaos)
Ymir Baun (she/her)
art by @RoxannaRachnid
Ymir is Osera’s wife and there’s not a ton to say about her. The original broad premise was “what if this rabbit was tall, slutty, and had an axe?” And then, after I started shipping them, I decided on a sort of rivals to lovers dynamic so in the canon of my version of the world, she’s a spy for the Garlean empire at first and after the events at Waking Sands, is full of regret and has to go through some kind of redemption arc. Haven’t quite gotten through all of that, but she realistically helps raid the Praetorium as part of that. They get married at like the end of Heavensward.
Spike Allegro (he/him)
Final Fantasy wouldn’t let me call him by his true name “Gayfeather.” Originally conceived as just a twink rabbit, I’ve figured he went to Limsa to learn to be a cook and eventually ended up in Thanalan, where he learned to fight with his fists (while he loves his carbuncle, he never learned to read). He’s no-thoughts head-empty type. If you’ve read Gideon the Ninth, much like Gideon, he’s just quite a lot, so people assume he’s not an idiot. Then he opens his mouth and says some out of pocket shit and you’re like “what the fuck???” Side note: how do i not have any actual art of him. Fixin’ that this year.
Hitesh (he/him)
angy that i can’t find the artist for this one
Hitesh is my character from Mint’s pokemon campaign. He’s essentially a lazy stoner, except he doesn’t smoke pot (that anyone knows of). He just wants to hang out and vibe with pokemon, which works for his Mareep. His Dunsparce is a lot more active and actually drags him into any shenanigans he gets into.
UB-0M (they/he)
I drew this one! :D
UB-0M, or Ubom, is a robot of unknown make. They’re my character for the next game Mint hosts. He was found outside of some ruins in Bellataria, a mercenary nation full of furries. He doesn’t remember a whole lot about his past, but he is generally eager to help and understand things. If you follow me on twitter, you’ve seen me sort of agonizing over his design, which I’m tweaking again.
elon musk is literally like a parody. like he cant genuinely fucking be like this like bro is on some satirical depiction of a spoiled rich kid type shit. like hes a cartoon evil rich guy. throwing tantrums bc someone criticized him or said they didnt like him. spending billions of dollars to buy an app and then changing the app every time someone uses a feature of the app to insult him or hurt his feefees. dude straight up does the cartoon steam blowing out of ears train whistle shit irl every time someone says anything mean to him or is transgender but whats terrifying is he has enough money to do anything he wants and millions of chuds who would gladly no homo suck his cock every night before he goes to bed. like. how has someone come to be like this. why has this been allowed to happen why was he created
i think most rich guys are actually more like elon than they aren’t, they all have simpering fanclubs online but enough haters to keep them up at night. i’ve seen a good half-dozen “richest man in X country” instagram accounts litigating their personal beef with some obscure shitposter who won’t stop trolling them. they run the world but everyone doesn’t love them so they’re not happy
this is the richest guy in africa and his mortal enemy, a bored brazilian man
terfs celebrating that the international chess federation has banned trans women from competing in women’s FIDE competitions, because it’s sooooooo feminist to argue that women are so biologically inferior and nowhere near as smart as men and thus can’t play chess on the same level. girl that’s not feminism that’s literally just misogyny
Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol
I’m sorry to disappoint, but they didn’t name it anything.
Sputnik means satellite (like in “Earth’s satellite is the Moon.”)
Everything that’s in outer space can be named Sputnik.
They named a rocker “That one thing that flies in cosmos.”
There’s absolutely nothing good about it. There’s absolutely nothing wholesome about it.
I promise.
It’s not what you think it means. It’s not what google translate tells you it is.
We, as humans, should not treat ANY thing that was made in USSR with respect.
^^^
Damn this post got popular enough that people are redscareposting on it huh
Ngl this is an insane thing to say. Like this isn’t just criticizing Russia/USSR or whatever this is red scare brainrot mixed with the “Russians are subhuman and everything that comes from Russia should be treated with disgust” attitude that some people have developed after Russia invaded Ukraine
Or just go to browse and hang out! I promise it will be inspiring :)
It’s also a lot easier to do research in a library; sure, it’s one thing to have internet access, but it’s another to have wifi access to databases and books on the topic an approximate two minute walk away.
I visited the public library here for the first time because of this thread and I am never going back to a cafe to work ever - the library is so quiet but has just enough ambient noise to keep me focused, and there are a lot of cool events like 3D printing workshops and book clubs going on every month that I wouldn’t even know about if I didn’t visit. Highly recommend public libraries!!
Also, get a library card!! It’s free and the access to media and information you get for it is invaluable
