hi ! sorry for making you wait 😭 here’s Hiccstrid from RTTE era !

i actually never fully watched RTTE series, only a few episodes so this was pretty challenging. i hope you like it :)

(my problem is that i intend on making doodles but end up doing something way too clean,,)

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

hello tmr fandom may i get your attention !! to introduce you !! my TMR OC Seon and Minho !!

i was planning to get these drawings done and posted last month but life makes it hard to have everything go as planned.. so sorry for the late delivery but i still hope yall enjoy :)

/!\ THIS IS NOT A SHIP !! this is a platonic pairing, they are close to being siblings. /!\

• PRE TMR TIMELINE: few months after Seon officially becomes a Runner

i LOVEEEEE this drawing so much i could stare at it and giggle for hours. it’s the way he’s copying Minho’s mannerisms because he looks up to him ARGHHH :,)

anyways moving onnn

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

to begin with, if some have read my first chapter, you know that Seon and Minho’s first interaction was.. sort of wild.. they didn’t have the best first impression of each other.

✦ there’s a lot of indescribable feelings that they are trying ignore despite the feelings being stronger than they can handle: irritation, a sense of rivalry and annoyance.

they can both sense the tension, an undeniable attraction (not romantic). familiarity.

✦ initially, their dynamic is marked by friction, each trying to resist the other’s stubbornness. then, it evolves towards mutual understanding and respect through actions, a reluctant cooperation.

which ultimately, their relationship is founded on loyalty.

✦ they forge a special bond by both initiating conversations but through their actions. solely. and they instantly understand what the other is trying to say, without having to question it.

they both have a quick way of thinking and understanding things. so they don’t always have to spell words out loud.

most of their interactions are through actions. their love language is literally “actions speak louder than words”.

it’s one of the main reasons their relationship transforms into an almost fraternal bond. thus becoming each other’s family.

they pick on each other like actual siblings would, insult each other in every way imaginable but then protect the other as if their life depended on it.

• few weeks after Seon bumped into Minho (beginning of their dynamic) </3

i will try not to share too much information all at once because there’s A LOT to talk about and i’m planning on sharing more in depth all on separate posts.

so for now, here are some more doodles i’ve done to picture their dynamic !!

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

• very beginning of personal training with Minho

oh did i mention Seon is korean too ?

this is actually kind of an important element in their relationship.

i wasn’t planning on talking about it on this post but for a little bit of context, i imagine them sometimes speaking in korean.

sometimes it’s simply out of habits, sometimes to insult each other, sometimes for secret codes such as when they go on their running journeys or even when they map the maze together.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

• a regular bonfire night after Seon becomes a Runner

some heartwarming moments too because they deserve to be happy <3

this is part of the rare moments of Seon rambling about random things; about the maze, complain about Alby’s rules, some gossips going around the Glade, etc.. and Minho just listening :,))

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

this is making my heart melt hhhh

anyways, this is pretty much it for their introduction i think ? i hope yall like it because i have moreee things to come !

next is going to be Seon and Newt’s dynamic introduction so be readyyy >;)

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

hello tmr fandom !! here is a new dynamic i want to introduce, my TMR OC Seon and Newt !! i hope yall like some oc contents :,)

i was supposed to be done with these drawings MONTHS ago but for those who know me already, yall know i’m slow and go on hiatus from time to time.. please bare with me 🙏

/!\ this pairing is NOT A SHIP buuut.. could be ? but it’s not. it’s more of a platonic/unofficial (?) ocxcc ship (bc it’s one sided anyway 💔).. /!\

• Seon and Newt on their ‘patrol duty’ (unfinished work btw)

this actually started with Seon joining him and it became a routine from then on. this drawing holds so much importance because it truly describes the blooming of their friendship. :,)

sort of a mini spoiler/snippet of Seon’s story in ‘The Withered Flower That Bloomed In Autumn’ 👀

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

✦ Newt becomes a primary emotional anchor. there’s a comforting connection between them because to Seon, Newt is the first person she associates the closest with the word ‘trust’.

Newt becomes the first person Seon talks to voluntarily, asks questions to and who answers too, but most importantly, the first person Seon is honest with. Newt lets him do all of those things, he lets him just be there — lets him literally breathe.

✦ Newt never forces Seon to talk, he positions himself as a constant, safe place. Seon doesn’t trust Newt right away but feels safest around him.

✦ if some of you have read my chapters, you might’ve guessed that Seon arrives in the Glade after Newt’s attempt. if i try to adjust accurately to the TMR timeline, i would say it’s approximately 2 months after his incident, so his limp is still very fresh.

which means that post-attempt Newt is still acutely sensitive. and this leads to my next point.

✦ Newt feels some kind of responsibility for Seon’s safety because Alby told him to be. But even outside of his ‘duty’ to keep simply an eye on him, Newt consistently comes to talk to Seon.

why would he do that ? i think silence worries Newt more than panic. he’s genuinely a little bit concerned too, that possibly Seon could one day crack maybe like he did.

• asking tons of questions about the Maze and other things instead of working

✦ they are a mirror to each other — both hiding pain, both minimizing themselves, both pretending they’re fine.

✦ Newt stays observant and emotionally guarded. he’s not attached, yet, it’s just a new job amongst the many other things he has on his shoulders, but this one is a bit different; it has a different motive — it’s not just empathy, but also curiosity.

✦ after the incident of Seon getting heavily teased by others, Newt doesn’t hover, but he positions himself nearby when Seon is assigned on group tasks, steps in when teasing veers sharp and sometimes, uses humor to soften things without spotlighting Seon.

✦ there are practical check-ins, especially coming from Newt. It stays subtle, never too obvious, too friendly. It stays neutral such as “you eaten?”, “you hurt?”, but never “how are you feeling?”

because that's simply not their way of communication. usually, the two have quiet conversations, they share an understanding of pain. they share silence, just sitting together without speaking — they don’t need to — this is their way of comforting each other.

✦ and even though Seon is by nature quiet, his quietness sometimes speaks more than words. Just as Newt does, Seon doesn’t push Newt, he lets him breathe as well.

✦ Seon quickly gets attached to Newt, not only because he’s nice to him and that they share similar wounds, but because she senses that he’s actually genuine, and that he cares. that is mainly why he warms up to him even quickly, because while everyone treats him like a burden, Newt doesn’t.

• caught off guard so hard because bro is too gorgeous 😔

goshhh he’s so stoopid (just like me fr).

• long hair Newt version too (book accurate) 🥹

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

heyyy so sorry i’m so slow with these requests.. thank you for your patience 🙌 also i thought you asked for the atsv version and not the istv as requested so i’m sorry for that too :,)

might actually draw more miles doodles bc i miss my baby too !!

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

also it’s mi birthday so this was the occasion :)

i also don’t look like this AT ALL this is very biased in a way since i tried to keep my artstyle but yeah i tried to draw myself as accurately as possible..

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

hiyaaa tmr population !! sorry i took so long to make this post for not much :,)

i’ve done an introduction of my oc SEON and after uploading the “first chapter” of his story, i wanted to share more facts and information about him !

though Seon identifies himself as a girl at first, we see the other gladers referring him to a boy instantly. also why i am using he/him pronouns ?

well, i plan on digging deeper into his character by writing more chapters about him ! >:)

but for now, i will explain shortly how Seon comes up with the decision of transitioning.

/!\ (when talking about pre-transition, i use she/her, especially when indicating things in his pov. as for post-transition, i will be using he/him.)

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

ARRIVAL:

✦ after her chaotic arrival in the glade, Seon goes through a huge existential crisis while being stuck in the slammer for a good half an hour.

✦ during that time, she tries to figure this place out with her own thoughts and the very few memories she could possibly grasp of; but absolutely nothing comes to her mind.

✦ after what happened, she’s a little too scared to attempt to run away again, knowing that it’s no use and she’d rather hear them out if they have something to tell her.

✦ when Alby comes back to get her out of the pit and starts the tour, Seon quickly understands that she can’t question him about the place.

✦ anytime she tried to say something, the boy didn’t give her the slightest chance to even make a noise; instead, he answered immediately after speaking, as if he already knew what her questions were going to be. his tone is a warning to not ask anything about the place. just follow the orders, keep the rules stable and suck it up.

• 2nd pic: Seon watching the maze walls on a bonfire night

ADAPTATION:

✦ Seon doesn’t talk once since her arrival. especially, after Alby’s warnings and his intimidating gaze following her everywhere around the glade, she’s too scared to even do the slightest thing that comes off as “disobedience”.

✦ she absolutely hates feeling this way. she already felt so small and useless in the glade, not succeeding any of the tasks that were given to her.

✦ after spending a few days in the glade, Seon notices something unusual about this place — she is the only girl — the one and only.

✦ she didn’t dare to ask any of the gladers, fearing they would clock her immediately. so she makes statements in her head.

✦ a week passes and gladers start to get pissed; at first they would help and teach her again from the start if she missed something. but as repetitive as it was, many started complaining how she is useless and doesn’t do anything right.

✦ she feels terrible about this but at the same time she is just as frustrated as them. a part of her is really trying her best but the other part of her had already given up, knowing she doesn’t provide anything here.

✦ Alby orders Newt to keep an eye on her, giving her a week to fully adapt in the glade. and if she fails, she will be assigned as a Slopper.

✦ later on, gladers start to mess around more with her. but not in a playful way at all though. it was humiliation. they would repetitively pick on her, mock her for being clumsy and weak, joke about especially her physical appearance; her looks being “too feminine” for a boy.

✦ that’s when she realizes that confessing to them that from the beginning she was a girl, would only make things worse. the horrible thoughts she had been imagining will only become true.

✦ so with that decision, she decides to cut her hair, bind her chest to make a full transition. she was a new person from then — he is now a new person.

✦ Seon decides to work harder in the glade. he understands quickly that this is the only way he will gain actual respect from others. From Alby. he just had to work his ass off.

✦ with those efforts, gladers acknowledge Seon’s strengths, his evolution, his endurance. he is now an actual glader and slowly, the teasing breaks up, as Seon proves everyone wrong. he is not weak anymore. he was never weak. his strength was silent. and maybe, he’s even stronger than most of them.

✦ Seon slowly starts to connect himself with this new identity. he feels more and more comfortable, confident and feels a sense of freedom.

✦ but a part of him remains hidden, until who knows how long. but he knows for sure he has to keep this secret until death comes to find him.

✦ nobody has to know. and that thought will always hauntingly hurt him, knowing he will never get to fully be himself with anybody, never be able to fully open himself.

(= this will all be mentioned in details in the next chapter)

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

this whole post is me talking about how having Minho as a personal trainer looks like with Seon but mostly, a step by step of the development of Seon/Minho’s relationship through training. but this could be applied as a general headcanon.

/!\ these are MY HEADCANONS please do not come for me. if you disagree with me just ignore. /!\

though if there are any mischaracterizations or anything ooc, let me know ! i’m open to criticism, not hate speeches.

also these headcanons are heavily based on Seon’s lore so if anyone is interested in my oc, i recommend you to check some of the chapters and arts that i’ve listed on my maze runner masterlist !

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

how it started:

✦ Minho starts silent training Seon, becoming a reluctant mentor, testing Seon physically (his ability, reflexes and such)

✦ Minho tests Seon deliberately in subtle ways that Seon doesn’t realize it’s actually the beginning of their training

✦ Minho begins “accidentally” giving Seon physically demanding tasks; Running messages, carrying things between zones. Seon struggles but never quits.

✦ Sometimes, he’d randomly call Seon and throw something to see if he catches.

✦ it’d happen so often that at some point, Seon won’t even have to look Minho’s way but simply catch whatever he’s thrown to him.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

beginning:

✦ the tests were easy for a reason. because when the real training actually starts bro is NOT going easy on you just because it’s the first time

✦ he is harsh, strict and doesn’t let anything slide. you fail ? do it again until you do it perfectly.

✦ i imagine him being veryyy stubborn about his rules for training. you want to learn from him ? do it his way otherwise he is not helping you.

✦ his experiences reflect his specific ways of training. many times had Seon underestimated and did everything the wrong way and failed every. single. time.

✦ “What’d I say Shuck face ?” with a satisfied smirk that’ll make Seon groan in response because he is always right.

✦ learn the basics from him then you’re free to do whatever the way you want it.

✦ he treats everyone indifferently, whether you’re good or not, he doesn’t play favorites.

✦ Seon finishing his 12th run around the Glade, while Minho checks the stopwatch:

M: Again.

S: Seriously ?? You must be counting it wrong.

M: Again. *ignores completely*

S: You’re so unfair you know that.

M: *kicks him in the knee* Slim it and run. Unless you want to do this until sundown.

S: ..Shucking Klunk head. *starts running faster*

M: I HEARD THAT !!

✦ i can literally imagine Seon collapsing on the ground, barely even breathing, and Minho announcing the end of training and just walking past him 😭

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

improvements:

✦ he sees it, acknowledges it, but will never say it out loud.

✦ if anything, he’s always the very first person to notice change.

✦ i think Minho is very quick at reading the room and very observant (again, has a very quick way of thinking and understanding imo).

✦ and he sees those same qualities in Seon too which is why he pushes him even more.

✦ since the very beginning, Minho never gives compliments or any compensations after training. and that’s actually a way for him to keep pushing Seon to constantly work harder.

✦ it actually works because Seon would feel like he’s not improving at all so he’ll continue to work harder, in order to get that validation from Minho. even when he actually is.

the start of a Runner’s journey

✦ Minho doesn’t coddle Seon. in fact, he never does; instead he challenges, snaps, drags Seon out of danger instead of explaining it.

✦ Minho always positions himself between Seon and danger during chaos (without acknowledgement).

✦ one day when Seon almost gets himself into real trouble, Minho says harsh words as way to give a slap back to reality.

M: If it happens again, i’m leaving your Klunk ass get crushed between those walls. Good that ?

Minho doesn’t say this to simply scold him for being distracted or fully blame him for his stupid behavior. it’s a reminder more than a reproach. if one wants to be a Runner, he cannot hesitate.

✦ that same night, Minho tosses Seon his water flask after a long run. No words. Just acknowledgement. This is huge for Minho.

✦ from then, Seon promises to himself to not let that happen again; whenever a dangerous situation occurs, right before Minho tries to take care of it instead, Seon reacts faster, almost instinctively.

✦ it’s a way to prove that he is capable of handling it, that he doesn’t need help; Minho sees, and approves.

a real Runner

✦ Seon becomes the finest runner right after Minho. it’s almost as if he has always been one, his old image of the quiet and clumsy Greenie long forgotten.

✦ Seon has an important role in the Glade, almost as much as the Keepers. When people speak of Minho, Seon comes up automatically.

✦ it is impossible to not talk about those two when speaking of Runners. If Minho is standing, Seon is always next to him; his right hand, his partner in crime.

✦ their closeness actually forms not through talking but through shared exhaustion.

✦ Minho correcting Seon’s posture once, through Seon copying Minho’s stretching routine without being told, through shared language (korean) moments again; short, sharp, unsoftened.

✦ When Seon actually becomes a real Runner, that’s when Minho starts compensating him, still very rarely.

✦ Minho shows constant acts of service; whether it’s him handing his water flask after a long run, patting Seon on the shoulder and squeezing it long before walking away, leaving the rest of his food to Seon at dinner, etc.
