Thoughts after letting my sister straighten my hair for the first time:

1. I knew my hair was long but daaaaang

2. Heat from straightening iron feels good 10/10 would do this again

3. HOY-FUCKING-GUACAMOLE THAT’S HOW LONG IT TAKES YOU TO BRUSH YOUR HAIR? THAT WAS SO EASY!

4. AND YOU CAN BRUSH IT WHEN IT’S DRY???? I legit thought that was a myth

5. Braids look much nicer with straight hair, and not like the hair is being strangled by a snake

6. I miss the curls and volume though :(

7. I looked like I was a river nymph when it started to just barely curl, that was cool :)

Oc Dump- Dawn and Carla

Dawn and Carla are two women from the 1950s who worked in a circus before Javier (time traveler ) and Elise crash-landed near their performance and convinced them to join their little adventure once they learned how awful they were being treated. Dawn is a contortionist who would do tricks with fire, and Carla does acrobatics and handled some of the animal acts in the circus.

Dawn is such a sweet woman. If you didn't know her you would think she never knows what's going on and is just kinda coasting, but that's not true. She knows what's going on ALL the time, but she would rather focus on collecting buttons and making tea for her friends when they're feeling down. She's an incredible optimist who loves her friends and loves her girlfriend and is just excited to have powers and experience the world through a unique lens.

Carla is a realist, but she doesn't crap all over Dawn's optimism. They adore each other, and Carla's main motivation for following the other characters around is to protect Dawn and make sure she can experience everything in a positive way. She is grateful for her rescue from the circus, but she would much rather run away and settle down than travel. Over time she does connect with the others, Javier in particular, but her priority is and will always be Dawn.

“Our family is so normal”

“We’re all perfectly neurotypical”

THEN EXPLAIN THIS

Yay OCs again!

Elise is 16 and from a small town in Texas so she’s just figuring herself out and has limited info, but I think it’s sweet that she would absolutely sit down with Anthony and just explain asexuality to him. Like he didn’t really care before or question why he didn’t want a romantic relationship, but he might mention casually (probably while the group is camping and Carla and Dawn are talking about how they started dating) that he never really saw himself *with* anyone and she gets SO excited to talk about the ace spectrum and where she thinks she falls on it, and he’s just happy that this new group of people is nice and they aren’t judging him.

I love being genderfluid because everyday it's like opening up the treasure chest of identity and getting a fun little surprise

I love being genderfluid because my friends are all supportive and hearing them ask for my pronouns when they're unsure is genuinely so sweet after years of hearing how "awful it is to be queer" from my family

I love being genderfluid because my boyfriend calls me his girlfriend/partner/boyfriend no questions asked and it makes me feel all happy and giddy

I love being genderfluid because I love being me and I'm so glad to finally know more about who that is!

OC Dump

Set mostly in the United States, tale as old as time featuring a bunch of super powered people who are just trying not to get caught (although you would think differently if you saw just how much attention they're always getting)

Javier: 20 year old from the 60s, Mexican, can time travel, punk, bi, the government is SO out to get him. Bioluminescence motif, specifically with fireflies (duller yellow and orange, sometimes with pale green)

Dylan: 19 year old from the late 90s, shapeshifter, disaster gay, party boy, captain of the football team, dumb and adorable. Storm motif (purple and dark blues)

Elise: 16 year old from the 2010s, can turn sound waves into physical shapes weapons and shields, bright pink curly hair, half Korean, demisexual, drives a light blue 1966 convertible that she fixed up herself, thrifting queen with a mild ABBA obsession. Motif is pure sunlight/sunny days (blue, very blue)

Anthony: 34 year old from the 30s, talks to animals, accountant, he didn't ask for any of this, aro-ace, he just wants to go home but here we are, makes everyone tea when they get stressed. Filtered sunlight/cloudy cold days (grey)

Dawn: 26 year old from the 50s, controls fire, used to be a circus acrobat, pansexual, very sheltered, dating Carla, NO social cues whatsoever, mostly just wants to make friends and spread joy. Northern lights motif (very green, integrating more rainbows and prism effects as she becomes friends with Elise)

Carla: 26 year old from the 50s, can see people's dreams, worked at the same circus as Dawn, lesbian, Italian, very reserved and sweet but still cynical, constantly worried about her gf's safety especially because Dawn just wants to tell EVERYONE they're dating and that can be not safe. Night sky motif (black with flecks of light colors)

My friend: wow you’re so good at coming up with fantasy names and creatures for your books!

Me, holding my 10 year old brother who is currently writing down ideas for me: aww thanks!
