It’s 2 in the morning and I am sitting in bed, scribbling notes in my notebook, because I just had an epiphany about my OCs, which may have just completely unstuck a project I’ve been trying to work on for MONTHS.

This is one of the best feelings. Pieces are starting to click together.

Finished the first short video for my channel today! It won't be public until December, but I am really excited and it helped me remember how to use DaVinci Resolve. 😂

Since I am sharing models today . . .

Here's my new VTuber model! I was going to wait until December to show it off, but I really wanted to post it. A process vlog will be the first video on my new YouTube channel, which should be ready in mid-December.

Finally, I get to participate in a WIP Wednesday!

I'm currently working on a model of my OC, Ketsuna! I'll be working on her wife, Vex, soon. (Ignore the messiness of my draft textures. I am also still figuring out what I want to do with the clothes. 😅)

Honestly, I think either Ketsuna or Vex? Only the couple of people who have read my stories really know more. (I have some others that I think will become favorites, but I haven’t shared them yet.)

Can’t wait to finish my website so I can info-dump about all of them there.
Which one of your OCs do you think is the favorite of your followers? 😍

Two of my OCs, Ketsuna and Vex, are married to each other. Now that I think about it, I don’t think I have any other OCs that are married, at least not currently. Maybe I can write a short story about their wedding (I’m in wedding planning mode rn anyway).
Is your OC married or will they get married one day? 💍

UPDATE: Knocked out my final round of edits/additions and just submitted it somewhere else. Fingers crossed that I get good news back! It could take up to six months, but I'm not in a rush with this piece. I'll be keeping an eye out for other publications in the meantime.

My short story was rejected by a publication that I really hoped would pick it up. The rejections are starting to hurt less now, and I realized that I want to add a few things to it.

While I work on that, anyone know of any queer publications looking for fantasy short stories?

I thought that I hadn't written much this year. I just checked my wordcount tracker (I made on on Notion), and it turns out that I've written 11,954 words so far this year. That isn't much compared to how much I used to write, but I am glad that I am slowly getting back into it.

If you ever question if your fanfic is too self indulgent please remember that’s actually the point of fanfiction

Ketsuna doesn’t like wearing skirts or dresses, but will wear a dress for special occasions. Vex, on the other hand, will wear just about anything if it’s her style.
Does your OC prefer to wear pants or skirts/dresses? 🩳 👗

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

Trans Rights are Human Rights.
VTubers are people; it doesn't matter how you present the model.
Sex workers are people, and their work is valid.
Support your artists.
Love those around you.
It's ok to ask for help.
Give yourself credit.
Practice self-care.

I played too much Tetris and now I have double-vision. 🙃

That being said, I might need to find a way to stream Tetris when I get back into that stuff. It’s become a comfort game for me recently.

I need to make more art of my OCs. 😭 I wanna talk more about them, especially some new ones, but I don’t have any visual aids currently. (And if I do, they are outdated.)

I haven’t thought much about holidays in my fantasy worlds, but I could totally see Ketsuna and Vex (her wife) celebrating the solstices and equinoxes, considering Vex is a witch. I could see them celebrating Mabon instead of something like Samhain or Halloween. I’ll have to think about this more.
Is there anything like Halloween in your OC's world? If yes, do they celebrate? 🎃 👻 🍂

I’ve created SO many OCs, but my first actual OC, Ketsuna, was created when I was playing an MMORPG. The person I was playing with wanted us to roleplay, so I created Ketsuna purely to RP as her. A lot has changed since then and now she lives rent free in my head (& stories) a full decade later.
When and why did you create your OC?

I've gotten so much done recently:
🖤 New model is finally complete! (Will reveal with first vid)
🖤 New website is almost ready to launch
🖤 New short story is almost ready for publication (need to make a cover)
🖤 A week's worth of YouTube videos are planned out, outlined, and partially recorded!

I have a difficult relationship with my parents, but there was something comforting about telling my mom that I’ll be graduating from college soon and her going on a rant about how I need to start self-publishing books again and demanding that I write more. At least she’s supportive in that. 😅
October 14, 2025 at 8:44 PM
Honestly considering adding a page on my website to create an index of my OCs. Thoughts? I could link the character profiles to the stories they appear in.
