sometimes, it can be hard to get engagement as an oc writer, but it can be equally hard to explain what would help you engage with an oc writer! this meme is meant for oc writers who might like some ideas on how to help their followers engage with them, as well as provide a guided list of potential things that may help those looking to write with their mutuals' ocs!

📖 : more information about their backstory or lore!

👥 : more information about how they interact or engage with the people around them!

🌐 : more information about how they interact with the location/world around them!

🔗 : links for where to find more information you may have already posted about them!

🗣 : i'd like to first plot out how our characters could interact!

🤝 : i think our ideas or lore may not mesh or match, and would like to discuss how we can meet in the middle!

📝 : i'd love to hear potential interactions or plot hooks you're interested in for your oc(s), so i can use those as a jumping off point!

❔️: other (please specify what would help you best!)

don't forget to specify what oc(s) you're sending for for multimuses when needed!

what inspired you, or how did you come up with the name for your oc?

when making your oc, if you use a faceclaim, did you choose a faceclaim first or come up with a design before finding a faceclaim who fits?

when making your oc, did you only make them, or did you build out connective ocs/npcs for them such as family, friends, acquaintances, etc.?

if your oc has superpowers (or something similar), how did you decide what power(s) to give them? was it inspired by something?

do you prefer making original lore/fandomless ocs or fandom ocs? if your oc is an original lore/fandomless oc, do they have fandom verses? if your oc is a fandom oc, do they they have a primary fandom verse they were created for and stick to, or do you make verses for them in other fandoms?

for writers with fandom ocs or verses, do you think more about how the story/world you're putting them in shapes your oc, or do you think more about how your oc interacts with the story/world? or do you prefer to use the story/world as more of a basic building block, making your own story over it?

when shaping your oc, what inspired you—music, existing media/characters, aesthetics, tropes, things from your personal life, etc?

do you like figuring out your oc's end result/final form first, or do you like to start smaller and see where writing takes their development?

do you have a preference for oc x oc or oc x canon?

some lines adjusted to fit; feel free to change pronouns, proper nouns, etc. as needed. in celebration of me finally finding the proper name and band of this song i've been obsessed with for over 15 years, i'm making an ask meme for it.

i'm in trouble—deep trouble.

set sail for the new world!

it's gold and treasures we seek.

high tide's rising, taking us as i speak.

10,000 leagues below the seventh sea, i'll lay myself down to sleep.

i'm high up the creek.

brother, can you show how the west wind blows?

does anybody save our souls?

these lazy bones.

can anybody save our souls?

i'm in trouble—it's bad at best.

with davy jones, i'll lay my lazy bones down to rest.

sirens singing raise us from the grave.

the world is flat and i'm off the map, sailing into space.

some lines adjusted to fit; feel free to change pronouns, proper nouns, etc. as needed

fishing boat

i feel free as the wind on the ocean, and wild as the rain in the storm.

i turn in with the stars on the water, and rise with the tides in the dawn.

seize the moment before it's gone.

there are some who keep their secrets like treasure.

there are some who tend to cling to the coast.

i'm free as the churn of thе riptide.

i'm free as a wreck in the drift.

nothing's еver promised to anyone; everything you get is a gift.

it's me and you, friend.

everybody else is dead.

cold at night

let yourself go in the current, only rise and fall as the angles allow.

breathe in the sweet air of the here and now.

the first thing you learn is how strong you can be if you have to.

the next thing you learn is how cold it can get at night.

let the waves break where they have to break.

let the people make ready to approach the throne.

let me get some sleep before i speak.

the first thing you learn is how far you can go with no gas in the tank.

the first thing you learn'll be the last thing to go.

the first thing you learn is that there's always a clock ticking somewhere.

dawn of revelation

all who hunger will be fed.

no onе here is going to die alonе.

live in hope, walk in fear.

let them come, let them gather here.

as you were, so they are.

we are orphans from a dying star.

let them cluster, each to each, like smooth rocks on a distant beach.

we will all go when we go.

beyond the grasp of the grave, we'll be free as a driftwood on the waves.

i will bring this word to them.

your bandage

one day the stars will all go out, and those who can remember when the night sky was a tapestry will be acclaimed as prophets then.

will you lie still while i reapply your bandage?

there's untold riches in the depths, there's gold inside the jet streams.

there's a message for the people sounding loudly in my dreams.

will you lie still while i reapply your bandage on your temple?

there aren't any people here.

remember, it's me.

you're right, you're right, you're right.

lie at peace.

soon, we'll all be released.

peru

for a man on combat rations, you sure do find a lot to say.

i'm trying to fix my attention—i can't clear my head.

i don't want the water to break you.

let me lead you back to the fire.

you've always got a little further to drop when you've risen that much higher.

there's fear in my heart like a shadow; i can't let it lingеr too long.

your gift is beginning to consume you.

onе of us will have to be strong.

in the future, these are going to seem like the good days.

we won't have a minute to lose—at most, we'll only have each other.

through this fire

my faith ran out with the flames one night, shrinking in the embers of the firelight.

you were rambling about your friends, how you were never going to see them again.

there wasn't any fire and brimstone left, just a hollow rattle inside your chest.

it wasn't ever going to go away.

the last days come and the last days go, carried away in the undertow.

what are seven days worth?

very soon we'll both be gone.

it's getting harder to hear you, friend, waiting for the world to end.

i'll run all night, but my legs won't tire.

the ocean is faithful and the devil's a liar.

rocks in my pockets

some things are too fragile to name.

some things are made for the spotlight, while some live at the edge of the frame.

you were never gonna make it, i felt like you knew.

at least you'll have someone; for some of us, that won’t be true.

some people go down swinging, get in a few punches.

some learn to ride the currents, while some never learn.

i'm probably not gonna leave the slightest trace in the wake when it's my turn.

it's like a good-luck charm for a soldier mailed home in an envelope.

some people go it alone, while some need a friend.

the weak ones get lucky—the strong ones stick around to see the end.

armies of the lord

nothing you'd predicted came true.

we're just doing what we'd promised you we'd do.

who would prepare for peace, then take up the sword?

will we remember 'til we don't, and then grow old?

i'm not ready to go that way.

what would our old friend say?

who goes without will find some great reward.

they're in the world, but not of it anymore.

soon, it'll just be you.

all aboard that's going aboard.

your glow

it's time for you to go, but you never lost your glow.

you lost a lot of sleep before the fever broke.

should i leave you here, or let the ocean claim you for its own?

should i keep you here, or tithe you to the tides to die here all alone?

it's just me left now.

if there's nothing left but water, then let water be enough.

you're well on your way.

you've been adrift for half your life.

you're headed home today.

be still and know.

the lady from shanghai 2

luck found me out on the open sea.

when will my moment come?

everything that sinks will float.

it was just a lucky guess, you know.

show me the places where lucky guesses go.

when i was young, i sought out the sky.

broken to begin with

there are men of old who sailed the seas, bringing nations to their knees.

they'll never know better.

before you knew about it, it got lost.

it was broken to begin with.

it was like this whеn we got here.

there will be no proof that we were ever here alive.

is this not what you wanted from the sea?

is this not what the waves require of me?

isn't this what we suspect we'll see on the day we finally get free?

everybody scream

i try to stay away, but i always meet you back at this place.

you give me everything and i feel no pain.

i break down, get up, and do it all again.

it's never enough.

you make me feel loved.

i can come here and scream as loud as i want.

here, i don't have to be quiet or kind.

i'm extraordinary and normal all at the same time.

look at me running myself ragged.

how can i leave you when you're screaming my name?

i'll make you sing for me—i'll make you scream.

aren't you so glad you came?

you're breathless, and begging, and screaming my name.

it's the magic and the misery, madness and the mystery.
