Ok this started off as just commentary and tagging under This Wonderful Art by jen-iii, but I didn’t want to risk highjacking someone else’s art post with my nattering, so I figured I’d make it it’s own post.
Yes! I really loved hearing her call Garnet that cause of what it says about Homeworld attitudes, particularly in light of Jasper’s earlier “this shameless display” from The Return.
that are either for fandom or purely original projects. you just spend so many hours constructing them from essentially dirt.
shoutout to people with ocs who have them go through a million changed names and a million changed backstories, and still don’t feel like they’re up to the developmental standards that they should be…but they’re still loved by you regardless.
shout out to people with ocs who want to share them with others, but are too anxious to tell information about them out of fear of judgment or laughter. And shout out to these same people who’re obviously adoring their creations but feel scared as shit to express the love out of your friend’s potential annoyance.
shout out to people who make their ocs align with themselves in surname or quirks or just giving them those softer, hidden traits that also make you, you.
to the peeps who feel so disappointed with their creations because again, they don’t feel good enough or accurate enough compared to other ocs. Nothing is perfect on the first draft, but they’re getting closer to perfected imperfection.
to the creators who will write paragraphs about those brain children, paragraphs and concepts that have been building up for months only to be greeted with no response or simple replies such as, ‘oh.’
or to people who actually pay attention to them, and ask the BIG QUESTIONS and you’re just internally screaming and have to put on this cool act.
shout out to people who spend hours thinking about how they sound like. (listening to voice clips for HOURS just thinking about your characters) What songs can apply to their personality and lifestyle…how they apply to them specifically.
shout out to big-brained creators who have a hundred and one characters and are greeted with, ‘isn’t that enough?’ when you talk about the concept of making a new one. If shows can have a vast cast of more than a ten to twenty characters, you can have your own vast cast too.
this post is just for people who feel so uneasy being so deeply involved and enthused in their creations. as if, there should be a limit on this type of love.
fandom ocs get stepped over and judged on sight, non-fandom ocs really get stepped over. But all that work and construction is valid and shows in your explanatory essay of their favorite genre.
1k notes. this post got 1k notes. I am so happy and thankful that it managed to spread out of my small dashboard corner and touch people.
Sculptures I made of Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends characters Wilt, Eduardo, and Bloo. The last time I posted this it was cut out on a white background and didn’t look right.
But she said it to GARNET specifically, and Garnet kinda got taken aback and really offended
The war was a bad memory for the Gems and I believe theres something about Garnet that is especially troubling. Garnet’s a FUSION, She’s immensely powerful
I wouldn’t be surprised if she was the ‘Berserker’ on the battlefield and thus had MANY Gems come to fear her, perhaps even start a ‘legend’ of sorts
Garnet is probably the equivalent to the ‘boogyman’ for gem kind tbh
