I have so many fucking OCs but I'm playing a dangerous game, I already don't do nearly enough to hide my identity on here. If anyone who knows me irl saw me talking about my iconic character [REDACTED], I'd be screwed.

But yeah I love dreaming up stories and worlds, even though I've never really completed a work of fiction ๐Ÿ˜… but I always have new drawing ideas or scenarios to entertain myself during a slow workday, by torturing my handmade blorbo.

ETA what I will say about [REDACTED] is that he was a one-off antagonist from a comic I planned to draw, but I ended up liking him more than the main characters. I hadn't realized until that point but all my characters were pretty straightforwardly cute or silly. He's a sleazy, rowdy, unkempt man who likes to cause problems just to feel something. It was so fun to come up with ways for him to be a dick and get himself in danger that I don't think I've created a normal cute protagonist ever since.
