CANON URL they Are Queer

i’m not going to make a big statement on current happenings, i’ve been incredibly stressed for multiple reasons and my mental health has already taken a heavy toll. i am not mentally or emotionally able to engage for my own sake. all love to anybody who’s been hurt.

if you are here because you think not wanting to tank my mental state even harder makes me an abuse enabler, see here! (<- the situation’s been settled by now, but i’m keeping this up just in case.)

if you think contacting a CSA victim’s abuser and putting them in physical danger is EVER justified no matter how much you dislike them or what they’ve done, see here.

harassment is bad unless it’s against fascists, and dehumanization on every side is actively dangerous. if this is spun as me supporting pedos or whatever you will be dunked in the Slime Vat <- It was spun by a stranger as me “enabling abuse” two days in I cannot make this up. think critically before throwing around serious terms with meanings!!! fact-check where you can, and never spread assumptions as truth. everybody deserves human rights, even if you don’t like them. this goes for everyone, not just me.

i didn’t draw him, but marco was a nurse who couldn’t leave the hospital and can’t sleep because of all the patients screaming. i think he became a patient later and had scars on his ears about it, with a zigzag gown pattern

Design notes:

- Practically OVERexpressive!! Face squashes and stretches to accentuate expressions, big big ol eyes!

- Her flower just kind of goes wherever, I draw her eyes so big they block her forehead 💔

- Both her and Doom have hypodontia, aka missing teeth! She has rat teeth in front, and sharp back teeth only visible when she opens her mouth wide

- Rounded shapes! Round eyes, round ears, round cheeks and cheekmarks (Doom’s cheekmarks are more angular and jagged in comparison)

- I usually draw her with her legs pressed close together, four feet are almost always visible and can point in whatever direction

- poses are usually curved with her chest out, contrasting with Doom’s slouch!

- thin body, build like a flexible rectangle

HCS for my au Shimmercare!! These are kind of disjointed, so it might just be rambles

- toxic positivity to Doom’s (understandably) toxic negativity, but the toxic positivity only applies to herself! The way she acts is partially genuine! But she always forces herself to act 110% happy, carefree, and innocent to the horrors because she knows Doom’s going through so much, and she’s so so scared of losing him. Worrying that if she let slip how miserable she is, Doom would feel helpless/like he failed her and break down further or worse, do something he can never take back. She also feels deeply selfish because she knows Doom is the one that actually has to do the killing, while she (as a nurse) ‘only’ has to watch

- Ironically, Doom would far far far prefer it if she actually talked to him about her problems instead of acting like the constant death and torture and misery she’s witness to every day is fine and like she’s completely unaffected! It would actually help him a lot to know that he can help her outside of doing Cuddles’ bidding to keep her alive, that neither of them are burdens to each other - or at least, they’re a burden to the other that they want to carry - but alas. They’ve been inseparable since they hatched but by god in the hospital era they aren’t communicating enough because they’re both being constantly traumatized every day

- Mood has severe compassion fatigue she doesn’t let on to the patients directly. She treats them all with kindness and gives them help and cute nicknames, but she can’t allow herself to actually care about most of them on personal levels because it’s broken her heart clean open too many times. When any of them can die from one day to the next and there’s nothing she can do at all. She has nightmares every night about all the friends and loved ones she’s lost, and that trauma is a part of why she’s basically at Doom’s side every waking moment - she’s absolutely terrified of him being hurt or hurting himself, and not being there to save him.

- ^ The compassion fatigue ties into her just doing doodles on the intake forms because none of it matters at all. “Don’t care, not one bit!” Why get attached when warnings do nothing until it’s too late, and the odds are incredibly high that the new patient won’t even make it through the first surgery? She favors Uni and Hemera out of all the other patients, because they’re the least likely to die in her mind and therefore the safest to care about

- She’s also very very anxious constantly, and tends to double/triple down on acting like things are Fine and Good when she’s spiraling

- Her favorite bands are Bird Town (Owl City) and whatever the Spinch version of Babymetal is.. Infantsteel?? She also loves chiptune and anime song covers on Kneetube. She’d love Ratsune Miku (<- Miku if she was a rat in sparklecare)

- Her favorite games are rhythm games, and games like Stardew! She has a tendency to hyperfixate *incredibly* hard however, and ends up optimizing basically every ingame day, setting up a whole detailed farm design, memorizing what goes where in each season and all the little easter eggs. She’d be super super intense to play with in games that aren’t meant to be intense

- I’m 99% sure the creator of Rem doesn’t want to be associated with SCH any more, so I’m removing her out of respect! Her role is taken by Nurse Snare, her and Mood are in toxic yuris together because I’ve been a Moodsnare believer for years untold (the adventures of hatergirl and lovergirl)

- Mood likes being around Snare because Snare is mean, as contradictory as that sounds. Mood doesn’t have to make herself act 10000% cheerful and happy and fine, because Snare doesn’t care, and even calls her annoying for it. She almost envies the way Snare doesn’t care about anything, even as much as she’s frustrated by it. She’s the only person Mood can properly feel free with, escape from the constant horror and fear of Doom’s death, fear of losing more patients and holding the world on her shoulders. Mood not having to worry what Snare thinks and vice versa. They get high and self-destruct together, and Doom worries constantly that Snare’s taking advantage of her, or that Snare’s a bad influence (even though Mood is a grown adult.) Snare’s not, and Mood reassures him, but Doom still wants her to be safe because they’re mutually overprotective for better or for worse! Sad rats -> 🐀🐀

Livinga (Nefurr Evan Livings-Wunce, never even living once) is an incredibly morally grey angel-tiger-thing mortician that Cuddles dresses up in basically a stupid clown outfit to “make death less scary” for the patients watching their friends be carted away. He applied to sch because he’s always had a fascination with death - he’s not a necrophile ofc like in the preboot, but he thinks death and rot are beautiful and is obsessed with decay and the inevitability of it all. Which, before the hospital, was just a quirky character trait! As he has to actually watch more and more people die firsthand and get rid of their bodies, it turns into him not being able to fully see most others as people, just corpses in waiting for him to move and deal with as his mind tries to cope with so much trauma all at once. It just. sends him on a huge downwards spiral, which leads to:

His husband Wuzzle Wunce-Livings (was once living) is a 1/4th unicorn puppy photographer/reporter! (design genuinely based on b/lues clu/es KSBFSBVD.) He doesn’t have the semi invulnerability uni has but he can do a tiny bit of magic and can’t die from any wounds inflicted by others, which means he’s perfect for investigating dangerous situations, and he’s trying to get to the bottom of what’s going on with the hospital. Maybe with Brigh?

Especially since he’s noticed a huge change in Livings since he started working there - becoming far more quiet and reserved at home, zoning out constantly, rambling about the beauty of rot, snapping at Wunce over innocuous questions. Isolating himself when he used to share everything with Wunce

And without Wunce knowing, Livings wants to basically get in the way of his investigation, sabotage, keep him as far away and distant as possible so Wunce won’t be dragged into the hospital and forced to live there for eternity, tortured and used for his magic/leverage. Wunce has zero idea why, he’s just worried about his husband, and the more he realizes Livings is hiding something, the deeper he wants to investigate, and so the snake eats its own tail and neither of them are happy. Is this anything

also the floaty hands preboot livings had are now those stupid novelty grabby hands on sticks that are used to move the corpses around without Livings touching them directly because he’s a big ol tiger and his paws are too big to fit in gloves. I need to completely redesign and redraw him too if anybody’s actually interested LSBDMSBDN if I do I want to make him more unnervingly cheerful rather than grouchy and constantly angry Doom-style …… at the risk of overshare my ex (horrible person) back yrs ago was obsessed with Livings (negative) and I like the idea of reclaiming his design for myself :]
