asdjask hi Tyler, thank you for seeing my rambling and asking haha

there’s a lot of ocs to talk about, because i wanted to make the magical school everyone goes to seem realistic in the way that there are tons of classmates… so um, here are my three hundred ocs, plus some extras. this got way longer than i expected lol

Pallet: her name is technically Penelope, but no one calls her that. she’s an artist, which means she can bring her art to life for a short period of time. she uses this skill to get revenge on the other art students who steal her brushes. she has a crush on the cute girl who works in the school gardens, but they’ve never actually done anything more than make eye contact. Pallet is also mute and uses ASL, although she also likes to mess with people by playing “living pictionary.”

Tinilia: Ara’s absolute best friend/vague crush. separate from Ara, she has braincells, but when you put the two together it’s just “wow i’m gay and want to commit arson with you.” Tinilia has a lot of nicknames… Tils, Tilly, Tinsel, etc. she’s pretty popular, probably because she’s such a generally funny person. however… she has a lot of secrets. the first one being, what exactly is her magic?? and why is she so friendly with that crow? she’s also… not having a fun time with all of these time resets.

Ella: the “mean girl” with a famous dad and a modelling career already set in action. her magic is makeup art and swimming- giving her water and shapeshifting-like powers. she hates Ara for seemingly no reason, but later they end up being amazing friends. their relationship development is my favorite thing. watching them go from disastrous rivals who hate each others guts to roommates who are disgustingly domestic and act like a couple is… fun. it sucks that it takes a tragedy to get them to bond, though.

Caden: one of the schools triplets (one of them is adopted but no one is allowed to mention it), Caden is possibly the most horrifying magic user. he’s a Nursing Gifted who spends a large amount of school time interning with the school nurse. he can speed up the rate someone’s wounds heal at the cost of his own energy. he can also slow your heartbeat, stop it, inflict wounds, transfer wounds from one person to another, or anything along these lines. luckily, he’s a pacifist. he’s also one of the three “parents” of their grade, a major Mom friend.

Maryline: she’s the one who gives Caden nightmares. we’re not… entirely sure what her Gift is, actually, we just know she can do things like float and pull really fun pranks. she’s… a cat-loving mischief-maker who skips class all of the time. ngl she’s a bit of a mystery, but she’s incredibly important for some of her secrets. such as- her relation to Ara, her source of magic, why she seems so nervous when everyone mentions the antagonist (although not for the reason you’d think), and what exactly a Keeper is. she also is one of the few who are aware of the time resets that Ara keeps doing, and she’s not thrilled- but she’ll never tell Ara that.

Rain: a musician! her violin, trumpet, piano, and vocal skills are formidable, and if she wants to she can use them like a siren would. she’s the second parent, the Dad friend, who’s incredibly exhausted but still manages to reign everyone else in. her best friend, Orange (no that’s not her actual name, she’s just a redhead who has a citrus allergy), has a very interesting character arc- she starts out very quiet and reclusive and ends up a major flirt who wrecks havoc everywhere. Orange is a painter, a photographer, and a theatre kid- she has magic with all three, which means she’s always falling asleep in class.

Bri: Asrian’s half-sister! she’s the school Mood Ring- her eyes change color depending on the emotions of the people around her. her magic is psychology, she’s a Counselling Gifted, which allows her to sense people’s emotions and understand why. she also, uh, bottles her own up. 

andddd some extra ocs, who aren’t students at their magic school:

Reve and Persephone: the last queens of the largest kingdom in Ancient Aromae. they were involved in a lot. long story short, Reve was a princess who went undercover during a war and ended up hiding in a captured kingdom with Persephone, an engineer/pilot who pretended to know her to protect her from authorities. after a very long adventure to win the war, the two got married, and…. well, i can’t reveal much, but they were involved in the end of Aromae. there was a reason that Aromae and Earth collided, forming Aromayan Earth and wiping everyone’s memories, making it seem like nothing had ever happened and that Earth still existed. 

Elena: majorcharactermajorcharactermajorcharacter- Elena is the High Goddess of Ancient Aromae. there were plenty of smaller gods and religions worshipping them, but Elena was in charge of overseeing everything. she’s also the woman who created my worlds version of soulmates- reincarnation had already existed, and she invented a way for relationships to grow strong enough that, while still breakable, they could transcend lifetimes. in the process, she took three souls and permanently made them soulmates, with no way for the bond to be broken. there’s a big reason for this! 

Raine: one of Rain’s past lives! they share a name, lmao. Raine is the Ancient Aromayan version of King Arthur- she was a queen who ruled over a great kingdom during a time where magic-users were prosecuted. she also incidentally fell in love with a witch, but that’s besides the point. the common time system in Ancient Aromae was centered around her- BC was “before coronation” and AD was “after Dolivaesal” (referring to her kingdom’s fall). the years of her reign (and the few years her daughter reigned) are called the Negative Years! imagine being so powerful they name time after you.

writeblr intro

hi! im tyler, a fifteen-year-old who's somewhat new to writeblr, but definitely not new to tumblr. being honest, ive been putting my intro off for a while, mainly because of my age. i don't want people to look down on me because im so young, and although i do know that im very inexperienced, i want to learn and grow as does everyone else.

anyway, as you can probably tell, i love writing. i mostly write fantasy and YA drama, and these are evident in my two current WIPs: Project: Easton and Novelist! im fairly new, so i only have a short wip page for project: easton, which ive been working on for half a year.

before joining writeblr, i was writing fanfiction on ao3 for about a year. then, i began to truly work on my idea, and here i am now! before that, i simply wrote whatever i felt, and have been interested in it since fourth grade.

outside of writing, i am just an introverted high school student who plays the guitar and ukulele, and occasionally writes his own songs :)

here, you can expect to find reblogs of writing advice, tagging games, updates on my WIPs, and more!

oh i absolutely love this dynamic! opposites attract type pairings, especially dumbass jock / emo nerd- like pairings are honestly so much fun to write, right? i’d love to hear more about the wip and the relationship!

in Faye and Fate, there’s honestly quite a few background pairings like this, because i can’t help myself. writing about a school gave me way too much access to hundreds of ocs and pairings, so i can name at least 3, but the most obvious pairing is Chris and Damien. Chris is a very sweet jock who’s not the most academically talented, and Damien is a quiet, kind of emo artist who’s also interested in things like engineering. Damien actually tutors Chris a lot, they’re always around each other since they’re apart of three inseparable friends (the third being Paskal, who has an aesthetic board here). 

another dynamic that’s like this in Rain and Orange. when they’re younger, Orange, a photography/actress/painter is kind of very emo, and Rain, a musician, is quiet and withdrawn, but very compassionate (earning her the dad title at their school). Orange pines after her for a long time, since they’re childhood best friend. they actually start to figure out their relationship later in life, and Orange develops into a more loud and flirtatious type of person, while Rain still tiredly considers her to be a lovable idiot. i love their dynamic a lot ha

never said how far before, so i went back to the beginning of time for Painted Cards! thank you for the ask!

The first people are made from dirt. 

The goddess loves them for it. She loves how funny they are when they walk, stumbling around on two legs, with senses that let them poke at the planet they’ve just been introduced to. They’re each unique. Two boys, a girl, and one who identifies as neither (although time will forget this, to her chagrin). One cannot speak, and gestures with their hands. Another is missing an arm, and his heart doesn’t fully cooperate with his body, but he is still her creation. 

She loves them.

Requests are all fulfilled; the boy asks for more beauty, and so she makes him so many different flowers that he can see a new one each day. The girl asks for more foods, and so she is given a million different flavors. Spicy herbs and sharply sweet fruits, some in the grasses, other hanging from branches, or grown from flowers. More wildlife, lesser than the humans, but all different. The one who lacks a voice is afraid of the dark, and so she gives them stars. They map out constellations in the sand, take the charcoal she makes them and draws upon rock surfaces.

The goddess makes more of them, to keep each other company. The soil is never the same- sometimes, it is a paler sand that creates their skin, or a dark bedrock. Some people are built from a crystalline snow, made when she messes with temperature and water. Over time, they come to develop interesting civilizations, with different ways of speaking. Art, paintings made from snail shells or flower petals, clothes from the skin of her creatures. Different cultures, different ways of loving and hating, ways of managing money, of singing and dancing. 

But, to her displeasure, the goddess cannot be among them. She can make them things from a distance, answer wishes, speak in their minds, but she cannot walk through their homes and smile upon the places they have built. Her body is made of a light too bright and warm for mortals to look upon without burning. When she does travel to their lands, her footsteps leave burns upon the floor. 

And so the goddess turns to the first four she had made, and although they are long gone, she finds their reincarnations. They make a deal- in exchange for tasks she gives them, the goddess will reveal their future in the form of tarot. She writes every message on their body, draws out cards that she thinks fit them, narrates their future or person, a piece of advice. And in exchange, they start her wars, set her fires, save her princes, mold her history. Every life, it will be so. 

Her champions listen, until the day comes where she makes a fatal mistake.

ahhh i love the vibes of this song! i saw this ask and immediately recognized the title and got excited asdhfaj

this actually makes me think of Ethin the most, although the overall vibe just feels like my wip in general. i can’t say too much, but the lines “watching me take the blame” and “never gon’ break the chains” especially make me think of him. he’s in a very tight situation called “i made a mistake and now i’m paying for it.” 

it’s especially fitting because he’s one of those kids who’s being involved in a war- unfortunately, while the war among the adults is very quiet and political, the kids are being roped into a far more dangerous and cutthroat war that’s related but worse. it’s not either of the groups faults in the first place, but here we are :( 

and soon it’s going to get worse…. my poor city boy
