thank you dolly!!

What changes do you think would be made between your muse as they exist in your head vs how they would be treated as part of canon?

i think noah would stay pretty much the same, but the show would lean more into the toxic masculinity of the early 2010s, and his feelings for carlos would either be nonexistent OR made into a joke i fear

What plot points would change due to the inclusion of your character in canon?

the biggest one i can think of is the ep where btr does the guest spot on the kids show that carlos likes. he's already dating noah by this point, so him and carla (i think that's her name?) would just be friends!

What role would your character play in the story? Are they a major player, or a one scene wonder?

he's a minor character in s1, and becomes more a secondary character in s2-4. similar to jo and camille in terms of screentime!

If there are multiple adaptions/If they are part of a multi-part franchise, which ones would your character appear in?

n/a

Besides your face/voiceclaim, who do you think would be cast as your character?

hm... that's so hard. unfortunately i can't think of any male midsized/plu size actors from the early 2010s who fit noah's vibe

If your character had a breakout show/film/comic, what would the plot be? Who would be in their supporting cast?

smth spiderman esque! carlos as the best friend and love interest... maybe gustavo or griffin as the villain?

What headcanons/theories do you believe fandom would invent about your character?

DO I HAVE ANGSTY SEAN HEADCANONS???!? Is my tumblr url sushisocks??? I'm including just a couple non-angsty ones that are v important to me bcz we're here to have fun, after all lolol

Lets start out with a light one; Sean absolutely has ADHD and dyslexia. Everybody knows Sean can't read, but nobody asks WHY Sean can't read despite frequent opportunities to learn. Based on the camp interactions with Lenny, we know he has been willing to attempt to learn, but has given up. This reads a lot more like learning disability to me, than it does laziness!!

In a similar vein; Sean taking frequent naps/falling asleep a lot is because he's a light sleeper - he has had a hard time falling asleep and staying that way ever since his father got murdered in his bed by the law. Left an impression Sean can't really shake even when surrounded by friends and allies - it's easier to nap when it's light out and people are awake in the area. Combine that with the ADHD and suddenly he's sleeping when he's not supposed to - like on guard duty.

Btw Sean has REAL BAD nightmares so that doesn't help at ALL either

Sean's mom probably passed when he was very young - he doesn't have any tangible memories of her in the same way he does his dad. Telling stories about him is how Sean keeps the only real family he had alive.

SIMILARLY I imagine it was just the two of them fleeing to America together; Sean was right there when Darragh got killed in his sleep - I imagine him waking up to a gunshot tbh.

In previous posts I've talked some about Sean's parallels and similarities to Arthur. Consider; Sean having similar self-esteem issues as Arthur, but instead of being quiet and disparaging about it, Sean covers it up by boasting and talking a big game. Nobody tries to talk Sean up because they all think he has a big ego, and it sort of just feeds into the insecurities Sean already has & is trying to avoid thinking about.

Also; Sean is generally an open book about his feelings, but he struggles a LOT with being truly vulnerable or getting at the deeper stuff. He'll also always downplay and make a joke out of truly traumatic and desperate situations he's been in. Though he DOES tell you what happened, he's chuckling and acting like it's nothing. (This isn't even a headcanon, he actually does this very consistently. It's why Karen is so mad at him in that one camp interaction after the party lol)

The only times Sean feels comfortable not being The Camp Clown is when Dutch isn't around, with a limited amount of people to witness. He still feels weird about the fact that he did actually try to kill him, when they first met, like he actually pulled the trigger (I feel like people are prone to forget this abt him), and he's never sure if Dutch might resent or distrust him a little for it. Same goes for Hosea.

A MacSummers one I came up w on discord literally yesterday; Sean has a Claddagh ring heirloom he got from his late mother through his late father. He gifts it to Lenny at some point, who doesn't realize the symbolism, just the sentimental value. Lenny wears it on a chain around his neck.

The previous one could work for MacJones too but tbh I think it hits harder for MacSummers lol (im biased)

Sean blocked out a lot of what he experienced while holed up at Ike Skelding's; the teethpulling and the burned feet were probably some of the lighter things he had to endure.

Of course not all of them, but their are some from Different Universes we're Cogs and Toons don't Exist.

Like for example, there's a Counter Part Version of you guys but Works in a Different Job or there's a Different Model or Gender.

(besides TICKETYS)

IT'S TICKETYS!!!

Now that we've settled that, thank you for the ask, friend, and I suppose I can pick my second favorite piece of writing for this one. 😁

I think it might actually be this paragraph**, from for the age of the earth, and after:

Before tonight, Bond had always thought of creation as a furious thing, had imagined Earth formed in fire and catastrophe, in ice and violence. There’s some of that here, too, he thinks, a searing need coursing just below the surface like a river of molten rock. But the history of the Earth is so vast that it’s written in geologic time, in eons and eras, epochs and ages; in a call and response of oceans and mountains, faultlines and tectonic plates. In movements imperceptible but ceaseless, toward, and toward, and toward.

I'm proud of this fic in general, and this paragraph in particular, because I took a risk with it: I wrote a short fic that, in terms of plot, is essentially just 800 words worth of two people having sex with each other for the first time, but is also about the passage of time, how the geology of the earth shapes us***, how love comes before us and lingers long after, and about the concept of the sublime, especially the idea of beauty that takes our breath away, even as it has the power to destroy us. Ambitious? Yes! A really weird combination of things to want to write about? Almost certainly. But I don't know that anything I've ever written has ever come this easily, or this quickly, which is usually a sign for me that I needed to do it.

**this will probably only be my favorite until I can find a way to work "está fuera de sí y con sed de venganza" into one of my fics. Stay tuned.

***I would be remiss not to give an extra thank you to @foxsoulcourt -- Cory's gorgeous photos of Yosemite were the very first seed for this fic, too!

Besides your face/voiceclaim, who do you think would be cast as your character?

What fan-material would exist for your character in fandom?

Is your character the subject of ‘imagines’ or ‘x reader’ style blogs?

What is the wildest crackship you can imagine for your character, whether in-universe or in crossover?

META ASKS: If Your OC Was Canon

HI BBY💕 I will answer these for Mari as much as I can.

anon are my 14,579 seb posts not enough for you?

So uh. I hope this is readable. The highlighted titles are the base stories that create crossovers. Solid lines mean the stories are canon in the “main universe’ of the series. Dotted lines mean noncanon.

5. What kind of abilities and power level does your oc have? Why did you give them their powers? What's the in-universe reason?

I decided to give Percy body magic and catalyst magic (after the devil pact). Body magic as it was shown with Dante, seemed to be only effective when used on the user's own body.

I wanted it to have some sort of a double meaning for Percy, that if body magic truly only works on the user, it gives him a reason to be self-serving because "he can always just patch himself up". On the other hand, it could mean that he has to learn to put himself first.
