#devon blake

The sarcastic and oblivious genius brother to my self-insert Ravenclaw Amanda.

@shanethehufflepuff look at our child, isn’t he gorgeous!

His eyes sure are pretty, too bad they don’t work.

And the same portrait without glasses!

As always, thanks for the template @barnabyjr! Blank below the cut. @kijoo if you wanna pair Bella with Orpheus for @pierrot-dokki go for it, but I’d love to see Amara x Carina for giggles!

Alright Anon, so the intrusive thoughts won and my self-insert OC Amanda gets a twin!

Meet Devon Blake!

Credit where credit is due, thanks to my bestie @shanethehufflepuff for assisting in his creation. He is 50% his intellectual property! Yay for joint custody! Meet Elian’s new bestie!

Adding the updated TL;DR breakdown of Amanda below the cut!

Like I don’t have anything better to do…indulge me!

First @syrooo’s children

Carina is small and deserves the pets

Such sweet chaos, Tobi is gonna simp over any woman he is with.

I couldn’t resist, how it happened, who knows, but I love throwing INTJ x ENTP personalities together 🤭

@rvchelking’s gorgeous lass!

All that ESFP chaos in a cute package.

@le-rryder!! I stole ya girl!

It’s so funny how similar they are!

Hehehe @elkingwriter, I borrowed your children and am pleasantly surprised!

Let these girls live in their lesbian era.

This one might just be cursed…but I’m here for it.

@ravenothere the ones we know work…and a few hear me outs for giggles.

Spectacular, I’ll take 14 more just like it, I love these pink babies so much.

But we can’t leave out Nightwing now can we, we love that they hate each other, now kiss!

And that size difference, did I mention the size difference. Just put her where you want her!

Now from the top of my hear me out cake…

She might just find the multitude of layers he has constructed in his head fascinating. Which one is the real Orpheus, who knows, but it’s bound to be toxic.

Hehehehe and this one!

A mind she won’t be able to read, because baby girl is continuously and unintentionally occluding. Not to mention they are that lesbian flavored Golden INTJ x ENTP pair!

Because why have OCs if you don’t cook up some family lore in the cauldron!

A mixture of Pureblood and muggle families. The only names not included are Charles and Flora Savage who adopted Carina at age 11 and my beloved Tobi, who gets to be left out of all this chaos for his own happiness.
