i did like a 2 minute search of "what does otp mean" and decided im just gonna skip those cause i don't want to... and my guy is loveless and aplatonic

cool oc is SMILES cause yay :D

favorite thing about them – she's fun to put in random scenarios and watch her (extremely distressed and irritated) figure out how to get out of them without just killing someone

least favorite thing about them –he's drawn in a noticably different style from everyone else and it's fine?? usually cause they are the main character but it's also hell trying to put them into backgrounds

favorite line – if anyone bothers her and the circus isn't like. actively burning down or blowing away in a hurricane, he'll do an extremely drawn out interaction of like. asking who you are, pretending to care, asking what you do here, do you like this job, pretending to care but noticably sarcastic this time, mentioning how she's never seen you around here, mentioning how she's never gone into your room has she? she's never barged into your room and started asking you a bunch of random shit you probably don't have time for do you? asking why you think that is? speaking over you when you mention that she DOES do that actually. constantly, like at least twice a week with random performers and how she refuses to leave until she's finished monologuing. CONINUING to speak over you but you're obviously not paying attention cause it's obvious she's just grasping at straws to prove that this is your fault actually, mentioning how incredibly busy she is, panickingly clarifying that SHES allowed to barge into your room because SHES in charge and you should never barge into its room, never do that, don't even think about it, don't even step foot near my door i swear to god, that isn't a joke, anyway im kind of busy here (walks away without clarifying)

random headcanon – she's the only one (consistently) aware of their cartoon logic, and i bet she just rewrites shit to freak people out. like they obviously cant die cause it's clown world, but due to some plot hole they have allergies.

i imagine it'd get out of conversations by eating something it's allergic to, and continuing to (very dramatically) swell into an actual balloon, float out of the room, bump against the wall a couple of times, nearly fly into a fan, panic, panic some more, holy shit why the fuck is there a fan in here, floats back to her room

unpopular opinion – i think she's terrible at her job actually. i don't know how they're the main act, she can't even juggle

song i associate with them – random jack stauber and spellcaster songs, but consistently "dancing around in circles until my little feet fall off"

:0 and "your life flashing before your eyes" by dreamcorp. but i just imagine her sitting outside of the circus (which kind of fades into a void) and just not really. wanting to be there.

favorite picture –

Mark from A Lack of Self-Perception is Demiplatonic, Aceflux, and Arospec!

Jomnas from A Lack of Self-Perception is Caedfamilial, Apothilove/Love-Repulsed, and a Non-Friending Aplatonic!

ask game!!

12!! (easiest way to entertain them)

okay mark is both sensory seeking and the definition of a little guy. i feel like they'd be entertained by literally anything if it looked or sounded or felt cool enough, but my first thought is anything clown related. it would be a horrible mistake walking by a store at the wrong time or having a song play and they're suddenly like "AHDUEJE ah AH I KNOW hold on-" and then they start typing like 3 paragraphs onto her TTS or something

(perfect way to distract her it will literally always work) but for jomnas. hmmmm.

im yet to find her a big interest. but i can somewhat picture her response to it as they're a little moth with big, tired eyes, so he'd absolutely be completely focused on it, unaware of their senses and doing the same thing for maybe 5 hours

if someone tries to go like "hey dude you were supposed to open the store or something-" it'd either ignore them (completely. not even process them) or just get irritated and go somewhere else

for 19!! (do they have a catchphrase or something repeated)

my guys are autistic...... mark is also semiverbal and refuses to have conversations with people, so i imagine at least 80% of his vocabulary is just vocal stims and echolalia

they're all either related to xer special interests, or something random that he heard, forgot about, and is completely inaccurate to the original source but is even more fun to say i just realized i don't know if he has a tic disorder

(im going to give him a tic disorder) but JOM.

the master of scripted conversations ABSOLUTELY has like. a list of internal sentence stems that they slightly adjust to suit whoever he's talking to

they're all like. incredibly boring things that i don't want to type out but imagine all the noise that goes on at a country club or something

just conversations where literally no one talks about anything important but they're like "MAN this guy's good!!" and if someone tried to say them back to jom he might actually kill them (or say them in a way where you know you should leave the room)

i imagine the persona that jom puts on (when talking to literally anyone outside of her house) is someone they would fucking hate to be in a room with

they do EVERYTHING that she hates about people, but it works because people like them.

OH WAIT

an actual thing that i know she repeats. just variations of "im going to check on the store" or "i saw someone really shady outside" or "i have to go do something" which are all code for "my brain my brain, im going to have a panic attack in the bathroom, do not check on me i will be so fucking mad if you follow me, oh my god oh my god"

7: Is their handwriting messy or neat?

11: Favorite/least favorite foods?

you get TWO ocs cause my guys are plural!!

for 7, id think mark writes incredibly small, and compulsively neat. they probably put way too much effort into it, but it's also basically microscopic and barely anyone can read it

smiles however would just be far too impatient for that. i think she also writes in a very compulsive way, but it's messy as hell, and still illegible. they probably switch between styles and letter size and forget what they write, or get frustrated and end up not finishing the sentence.

11, mark's favorite/safe foods are macaroni, a specific soup i haven't figured out, and sliders. her fridge is stuffed with pre-made versions of these cause otherwise they will just forget to eat (or the illness takes over). i think their least favorite foods are a really vague list, but are definitely like. sensory averse foods/stuff he will just refuse to eat cause ack awh ew

marcus kellner (any/all pronouns)

[PT: marcus kellner (any/all pronouns) /end PT]

middle aged, high support needs, schizospec autistic with an obsession for clowns! he's been writing the same chapter for years, and finally quit his job.

unspecified species, very fluffy girl, loveless, intersex, and agoraphobic. she has a shit ton of communication trauma and is almost always sick. she's also puppycoded and has a barking tic :3

smiley, "smiles" the clown (any/all)

[PT: smiley, "smiles" the clown (any/all) /end PT]

bipolar clown, unintentional headmate, and the star of the show having a nihilistic crisis

fictional real person, my projected oc's projected oc, the suffocating question of relevance and reality, transsexual clown, even fluffier girl, hyperverbal, love repulsed, unmedicated as FUCK, my constant attempt to not give mark DID, an asshole when it has the emergy for it, aaaand. i guess her insides are made of confetti, that's pretty cool.

jomnas (he/ask)

[PT: jomnas (he/ask)

antisocial moth ""survives"' the service industry and discovers the wonders of estrogen. ongoing consequence of postponing burnout

humanoid moth, closeted transfem, in like a constant state of withdrawal, praying that flashbacks go away if your busy enough, realising she's too disabled to work, loveless, apothiplatonic, has a mess of undiagnosed PDs (im thinking aspd and schizoid), girlfag?, angel and divine kin, age regressor :3

hyacynth (he/she/it)

[PT: hyacynth (he/she/it) /end PT]

mysterious third character i am now developing!! currently my hard of hearing, black bunny oc with way too much energy and bipolar disorder :3

so far: low support needs, hyperactive, hyperverbal (chronic yapper), the most expressionate person imaginable, bigender trans man, intersex (methinks), loveless afamilial, cupioqueerplatonic, improvises the fuck out of everything and tries to subtly leave when it fails, angrily flops over when woken up :>

asterix (OR WHATEVER) (it/he) - circus ringleader who's getting a redesign!! i don't know WHY he's in the story but it does look cool!

rei (she/noun neos/undecided) - adhd cat in the hell dimension

lenni (she/undecided) - asocial cat ALSO stuck in the hell dimension with a flawed plan and a clingy girlfriend.

stardust (any/all)

[PT: stardust (any/all) /end PT]

our starsona! anxious concept of light gets EXILED and hastily CREATES the hell dimension.

every possible species, delusional mess, ""negligent storyteller,"" loveless, exhausted, median (plural), personally trapped in an observer state

(no longer used.)

rosebud (all/it)

[PT: rosebud (all/it) /end PT]

our fursona! the previous guy, but fluffy.

weird llama/alpaca/wolf/sheep thing with occasional wings and a starlike interior. his insides resemble the skies, and he does not speak.

(flash warning and bright colors for the next two, but basically our kinsona [nexus], our schizosona [sound], and other unfinished characters [irmos, bio family, and bar employees]. they're not very developed personality wise, but are still occasionally drawn)

0~0 stares at u /silly

thinking logically they absolutely would.

mark (humanish little guy) would probably have an assortment of bright colored clown blankets, but i also think she'd just use them as a surface. she's naturally warm/overheats easily, so he probably IS the blanket in most situations

smiles however (living clown hyperfixation) would probably have an extremely old blanket that i have. no idea what it'd look like? but it's definitely bright red and like a century old, but she lives in the clown universe so it's always in perfect condition

for the first one. im giving them a ribbon tail and tongue and thinking they probably don't have actual organs. if her head were to (HYPOTHETICALLY) be cut off i think it would just be a mess of confetti and glue, and while her body can't just be pulled apart (with ease) nothing tragic would happen if she did

and then just. she canonically lives in a fictional world

or a paracosm. and he is a character.

is every ounce of her existence being created? is the ring leader capable of reversing every aspect of a day? how much is being written.

if her head were to (hypothetically) be pulled apart, what would the consequences be? is someone able to just cause it to never have happened? would it be a mild injury? would it just regrow, how relevant is anything

how real is everyone else on the stage? is she aware how imagined they are, is she just as fabricated?

on one hand i just want to give her dpdr, but i think it's fair that she's not completely wrong
