Hello, friends!
I'm sorry to tell you that I'm having a burnout. It's a bit more than one month till the end of the semester and I have A LOT of stuff to finish now. It's been like that for a while and I'm just tired, mostly mentally. I have a few ideas left from before the burnout, but I kinda don't have the energy to want to draw them (does that make sense?? idk).
What I'm saying is, I'm taking a timeout. YES, AGAIN. I will draw, because I literally can't live without creative activities. I NEED to draw or else i will explode. But I don't want to add the pressure of posting stuff online to the pile. I'm sorry. I hope to be back with you by the end of June.
Until then, take careπ«Ά

I NEVER POSTED THIS HERE WHAT???
Well, anyway
Here's another oc whom I dearly love. Their name is Onyx, or Nyx for short (any pronouns)
- cute punk
- loves decorating everything with pearls
- lives at the bottom of the ocean
Nyx is kinda asocial, he rarely shows up on the surface, so nobody even knows he's there. She's more of a legend in Queendom. You know, the usual. Local folks saw something on the beach/in the water and thought it was some dangerous monster.
But Onyx is not a monster (unless...), they're just lonely and shy dammit!!π£
Also Nyx always wears a cloak to cover her body, has body dysphoria and struggles with gender identity. They also have severe mood swings, he gets especially angry when someone asks him to take off the cloak. Generally, there's something not quite right with the left part of their body, it's a very sensitive topic and better not to be brought up
I think he's a very dysfunctional autisticπ
He displays a lot of symptoms:
- intense special interests (engineering, robotics, that scary clown is probably a thing im their world too, so it counts)
- stimming. Lucas can be seen shaking his leg and humming to himself in Not a Hero. Vocal stimming seems to be a common thing for him. He makes a lot of funky noises
- social withdrawal
- He only wears loose comfy clothes, which may be an indication of sensory issues.
- he also doesn't like being touched (he tells Zoe to get out of his face when she clings too much in Daughters)
- or when his stuff is touched (annoyed when Eveline is taken to his old room; also that fuck you list entry about Jack throwing some of Lucas' stuff out on the veranda)
- sensory issues with food (kinda? He complains about his mom's cooking, doesn't like it even when the whole family is fucked up with mold lmao)
- difficulty with neurotypical communication patterns. Lucas is very direct with expressing his discomfort. Takes things very literally (like in that fuck you list entry about him looking in on Zoe when she was doing yoga. She called him a pervert, most likely JOKINGLY, but Lucas took it seriously)
- tendency to systematise and categorise (the fuck you list and childhood journals)
I can think of a few more symptoms of autism (+adhd) that he shows, but they're either based off his general vibes or my speculations
Aaanyway-
Due to mental health neglect, Lucas is dysfunctional and unaware of his autism, which leads to internal turmoil, low self-esteem and sense of emptiness. Idk it's me speculating here again, but I just enjoy diving deep into psychology, so I dare to assume that Lucas tried to get rid of this emptiness and self-hatred by projecting it onto others and killing people
I'm experiencing curiosity so
Lucas Baker enjoyers, what mental illnesses to you think he's coded with and why?
I've seen a few, I've definitely seen ADHD coded behaviors but I've seen a few people theorize he could be schizophrenic. I'm just overall curious to what people think and their reasons, especially since I haven't analyzed too far into it.
Forget about torturing your blorbos, putting them through the wringer. I'm putting my blorbo in perfectly ordinary, pleasant situations. Their tortured personality will cause them anguish anyway, making an absolutely mundane scene into the most dramatic, agony filled affair as though the world is ending and it's all their fault
there's a scene that just appeared in my head one day and has been living there rent free ever since
Black is sitting on his bed reading Lord of the Flies. in a very demonstrative way. it's more of a statement than anything else. he even holds the book in a certain way, making sure everybody can see the cover
well, everyone exept for Blind, obviously
so Sphinx leans over to Blind and says: "Black is reading Lord of the Flies with the most pretentious and idiotic look on his face"
you know how it is
Ok so... This new quest today, the one about helping Modest Dancer...
We're helping two dead lesbians become canon now, right?
Here's a sketch of my newest chubby son, I love him smπππππ
Guysss I'm literally so overwhelmed with my classes and homework rn (i kno i always say that, but THIS TIME IT'S LIKE FOR REAL REAL I'M EXHAUSTED), so I don't have either energy or time to draw. Everything I draw now just seems bland and pointless, I'm sorryπ
I kinda liked this silly design tho and it's the only thing that keeps my mental health from shattering tbh
