24 for the ask game!
24. If you could meet one OC of yours, who would it be and why?
possibly niko? he would be the easiest to get along with of my ocs. most of my ocs are either terrible, overwhelming, and/or manipulative. niko is one of the few characters that i feel like i would actually have no issues managing, barring the possibility that i have to deal with his father or... erm. ''''romantic interests.''''
the only downside would be that he can be extremely pessimistic, but i'm not holding that against him considering the fact that he's actively dying. its pretty understandable all things considered.
22/23 for the ask meme?
22. Is there any OC of yours people tend to mischaracterize? If yes, how?
mmm not to my knowledge? i have thoughts on how people could mischaracterize my ocs, but thats just my imaginings. to be frank, my ocs are not popular enough to be widely mischaracterized and my friends generally understand them very well.
23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?
oh man. i could talk about pretty much any of my characters here. all of my stories go under drastic rewrites so they all end up radically changed in one way or another.
one of the most drastic is ashiri though, since shes a complete inversion of her original concept. back in 2016-2017, ash started off as a duo character with a friend: ash was a ghost haunting an apartment and the landlord was struggling to rent out the apartment because of him. the dynamic was based off a joke post online.
ash was the complete opposite to what she is now. the original ash ate literal trash, spoke loud and crudely, and was very transparent about everything he thought and felt. ash now has very particular tastes, speaks cryptically and prefers to let others talk, and no one actually knows what goes on inside his head.
ash is also no longer a ghost! hes more like a zombie now, but he never actually died. more in a symbolic sense since hes bound to keep working and trade out parts of his body. she also haunts a hotel now, not an apartment -- her presence tends to go unnoticed, but now he's beneficial to the building rather than an annoyance.

getting light brown mascara to put on my stache :]
at the Washington DC pro-Palestine protest (NOT Hands Off) today they unraveled a list of all Palestinians murdered in the last year and a half. Brian Becker and Eugene Puryear spoke and tied absolutely everything we are going through right now back to the devastating effects that imperialism and capitalism have on all of us.
this is what should be happening. there needs to be a unifying message and a cause to rally behind that involves actually changing the way things exist today, not restoring this country back to the ways that lead us here to begin with. this is not purity testing. this is the type of anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist movement that is necessary in the current moment and anything else is a waste of precious time.

Hey, oomfies! This Eid, let’s spread some more love to Gaza. Grassroots orgs there are doing incredible work despite the many limitations...getting food, meds, and shelter to families who’ve lost everything. Even a few bucks can make a real difference. Donate the cost of a coffee!
