When You Get The Chance Can You Draw My Oc?

Sorry this isn't an art post, it's more of a vent post.

My brain:

V.s

My body:

Vil's Day Off (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

Since it's Vil's birthday soon, I decided to draw him having a free day, and going to a café! And don't worry, the drink he's drinking isn't poison, it's just a drink inspired by the Evil Queen's potion for the poison apple (^▽^)

Alt version of him wearing glasses below the cut:

A while back I saw someone's headcanon that Vil does need glasses, but he wears contacts instead. Personally, I liked that headcanon, so I decided to put glasses on him ^^

( ˶°ㅁ°) !! Malleus Draconia in the woods with a bouquet of flowers? Who are they for??

(Also yes, I did take the background from twst, but I did make the fireflies)

Different versions of shading below, and announcements for this blog below the cut

I didn't like these ones as much, but I'm sure someone does ^^

Announcement: I will be making a masterlist for my blog! However, I will most likely not put the polls I've made on my blog on the masterlist. That's all! Have a good morning, evening, or night (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

Made a Christmas edit to this manga panel of Yukako Yamagishi, since it's December and I'm halfway through part 4.

Here is the original panel:

To be honest with you, I personally thought that once someone was fully puppetfied they couldn't be turned back. I felt like it worked that way just because the NRC group never lost their faces. Now I know twst isn't that deep, but I felt like visually it was implied that if a puppet doesn't have a face, it doesn't have a soul/free will. Since the NRC group never lost their faces they could still express themselves, and have a soul/free will even though it was hard for them because they were loosing it. However the puppets without faces have no thoughts of their own because they've lost themselves. (You could also think of the puppets like the donkeys from Pinocchio because it seems that's what they were going for).

I also feel like the puppets are repairing the ship to be honest because that's their whole job, and it showed the group destroying property not puppets.

Sorry for jumping around with my thoughts on your post, but honestly Gino and Ernesto are terribly written. I mean, it was literally said by Jack that there are schools for non magic people, and there are non-magic jobs mentioned in book 5 (I think). Somewhere in the main story Trey does tell MC the different jobs that don't require magic. And Ernesto is 26, so these definitely aren't new options in the world of twst to Ernesto.

Also while I do agree that Ernesto and Gino's riding into a sunset was underwhelming, but I do think it fits them because it seems like a lot of people are out to get them, for their shady reputation.

[twst Playful Land spoilers]

so like, what the fuck happened to all the other park guests??? did they stay as puppets??? are they still on the sinking ship???

can't say ive been too satisfied with this halloween event story, i was hoping the english localization would explain some things that i thought were lost in the fan translations. but no it just really does have nothing to explain the other guests.

also, i wasn't sure why there was such a focus of Gino having the interest in the NRC boys talking about school, if it wasn't even him that convinced Ernesto to start a school. idk that was just like a character plot that didn't seem to have much of a conclusion.

and also like, it feels weird having this human trafficker get off scott free of what he's done to, not just the NRC boys, but like presumably a lot of people. like, weren't the puppets working at the park previous guests that were turned?? and then the guest that were there on that day being turned into puppets?? and all the puppets from before that were sold off to high bidding people?? did THOSE rich people know the puppets they were getting used to be people???

like i appreciate that Ernesto's whole deal opens the discussion about the magic discrimination/classism that the world of Twisted Wonderland seems to have in its systems, but like this human trafficking thing is also opening up a lot of questions about the worldbuilding that i feel like is more important/weighty. so him just....running off into the sunset just feels....dissatisfying? i guess?

idk, maybe my appreciation for glomas is making it hard to not compare the two halloween events and what they bring to the table in terms of The World Outside of NRC i guess. if that makes any sense.

I've been seeing a lot of oc's on tumblr recently, so I decided to make my own. If you have any questions about my oc please feel free to ask! ^^

Also the info sheet template I used is from @unfinished-projects-galore they've made information sheet templates for all the twst dorms, so I recommend checking them out.

I recently got Ortho's Culinary Crucible card, but he had no text when he appeared. (He was a new card)

Floyd and Jade's mom is a such baddie

I have created a Yuusona

Backstory:

Backstory sections: Before NRC, Getting sent to NRC, and then how July feels about the twst universe.

(After the backstory stuff, I'll talk about July's Design)

Before NRC: July was originally supposed to be born in late June, and because of this her mom was going to name her June. But as you can see by her birthday, she was born in July instead. Her mom was pretty mad about this, and when July was finally born, her mom just named her July because she didn't want to think of another name.

July's mom especially didn't like July after she was born because July was born with heterochromia, and so her mom had to go to a few different doctors to make sure nothing was wrong with July's eyes. Everything was fine though, and the heterochromia wasn't dangerous at all.

Through July's childhood she wasn't really a social kid, and would avoid social interaction whenever she could. She liked playing with dolls, and stuffed animals by herself rather than with people. This anti social behavior would follow her into high school, and she would often times ditch school to watch, and film wild life. Which overtime she developed a love for.

However due to July's constant skipping when she first started high school, her mom decided to "homeschool" her, which was basically just letting July outside of the house all day, and keeping her out until it was sundown. This was because July's mom didn't feel like July was smart enough for college, and July's mom didn't really care about her. The only reason July's mom homeschooled July, instead of just letting her skip school, is because July's mom didn't want to deal with CPS.

July doesn't have any siblings. She has a mom who stays home, and a dad who works all the time. The most July's mom does for her is cook dinner, and do her laundry. Pretty much everything else July has to do herself, like dying her hair. July let's her hair grow for a few months, and then dyes the places where her natural hair color is showing. This meant a lot of the time July would have faded color on her ends, and bright color where her hair had grown out.

Getting sent to NRC: July walked down a trail that was near her house, trees lined the trail, and there was wildlife everywhere. July observed them, and took pictures as she walked along the trail. Eventually, the trail ended, and there was a park. July stayed there for a while. Cars passed by on the road near the park while July was swinging on a swing set, and sliding down the playground slides that were way too small for her. When the sun started setting, she realized she should hurry home. But that's when she saw a crow, the way the setting sun hit its feathers was perfect, it revealed the undertones of purple and a light blue of the crow's feathers. When July pulled out her camera to take a picture, the crow fluttered it's wings, and the picture wasn't flattering.

The crow then started hoping away, but July was determined to get a picture of this crow because once the crow stopped, it was at a perfect angle again. July got a little closer, but the same thing kept happening. It wasn't until July was in the middle of the road, that she was able to take a picture of the crow. She was so happy with how the picture turned out, she didn't even realize she was standing in the middle of the road, or the horse-drawn carriage running towards her.

How July feels about the twst universe: Sometimes she wishes she could just go home. At home she doesn't have to deal with overblots, talking to new people, and getting good grades in school. But sometimes she likes how magical everything is, how things like beastmen, fae, and humans can exist in the same universe, and even the fact that humans can communicate with animals in this world. She's conflicted on whether she wants to go back home or not, and it really bums her out when it's brought up, especially after the prologue when she becomes kind of friends with Ace, Deuce, and Grim.

(Sorry for my bad story telling skills, I'm not very good at writing in the third person (⸝⸝๑﹏๑⸝⸝) )

Design:

You might be wondering if I based July off of a Disney character, and honestly, no, I didn't have one in mind. I kind of just based the personality, and interests on the mc in the game. In twst Yuu doesn't talk much, and their dialog options really don't affect the story much, so I just decided "Maybe Yuu doesn't like to talk to others." And then the whole pictures thing is because the mc in twst has a camera, and does take pictures with it.

As for the poetry part, I just did that because it was an artsy thing, and I felt like it fit in there. Also with history of magic being the best subject, instead of animal languages is because I just feel like my Yuu would have a hard time picking up on the animal languages. This because of her unwillingness to talk in many situations. Also my Yuu is in the film studies club because she's a good with cameras, and I don't think she has to be in the same club as Grim ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

With her physical design, I made her have fire hair. I felt like it was pretty cool. I also thought it would be funny if people kept asking her if she was related to the Shrouds at all, or just assumed it, only to later find out there's literally no connection. Also how ironic would it be if Yuu had a magic feature to them, but they're literally just a non magic human?

Though, I will say her design is a little based on Crona from Soul Eater:

Crona is the reason she has heterochromia, well the reason I designed her that way. While Crona doesn't have heterochromia, their eye color switches from black to blue sometimes, so when I was making my Yuu I was like "🎵 You get the best of both worlds🎵" But instead of a black eye I gave her a brown eye.

Also their skin tone came out...not the way I wanted it, but I'll keep it if enough people like how it is right now. I used a more grey skin color pallette, and not my usual skin color pallette. So in the future I will probably not use that pallette again, unless it's for the Halloween Skully event, or something like that.

Oh also, if you noticed on the top of July's head there's a little face:

Originally, I put this in my sketch because I was trying to figure out how flame hair worked, and if there would be particles in there. Then I realized I was thinking of a lava lamp, but I liked the little face, so I'm keeping it.

And before I stop my yapping, I wanted to say in Japanese July is just "The seventh month" and so I made July's birthday the 7th because I decided she would be born on the 7th month. Also I chose July as her name because I didn't know what gender she was going to be at first, and it was gender natural. July is only a girl because I put genders on a wheel, and it chose girl.

Thank you for listening to me talk about my Yuusona, please feel free to ask any questions (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

Happy St. Sebek Day!

I know St. Patrick was a real person, but I thought it would be fun to combine the holiday and Sebek's name together (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
