I decided to make images containing the characters that could be assigned alongside their resulting description from the quiz, so though curious can see the other characters.

(Note: the text in parentheses on Darcie's result is a joke)

#oc | #ocs | #quiz

The upper result is Mime, who wears white face paint with red cheeks and black triangles above and under the eyelid. Their expression is stern and their hair is orange. They wear a black-and-white vertical striped shirt, with suspenders, and a black neck-scarf. In the lower right corner there is a symbol of a red sun.

Mime's description reads:
"You are Mime, the performer thief. With a lighter in one hand and a bottle in the other, you are set on your path, content with setting the world ablaze in your wake. Your emotions guide you and you seek solace in your own stubbornness, refusing to submit to your guilt or the idea of “what-ifs”. And yet, you long for home, for family and friends."

The bottom result is Iolin, who is a scruffy looking man with brown hair and a warm complexion. His expression is passive and he has patchy facial hair. He wears a white button up with rolled up sleeves under a teal vest. In his hair he wears a blue headband that drapes past his ears and is tied on the side. There are two golden stars in the bottom corner.

Iolin's description reads:
"You are Iolin, the sand pirate. You consider yourself content with your place in life, and find thinking too far to the future an arduous task, surrounded by uncertainty and indecision. Instead you focus on the current moment, using the machinations of everyday life to propel yourself forward, determined to sort your future at a later date. Those around you push you to make these choices sooner, insist your time is limited, which only drives you further away from doing so. As it stands, your life is in a transitional state, sailing about the vast expanse of the sandy sea."

The upper result is Lough, who wears a white mask with an upturned smirk and the left eye closed. His curly hair is dark purple and is pulled back out of the way, with a few loose stands in his face. His skin is dark and he wears a gray buttoned shirt that goes up his neck, over top are a white lab coat and a brown smock. In the lower corner sits a symbol that is a black upside-down triangle with a hole in its center (void).

Lough's description reads:
"You are Lough, the scientist, whose face lays hidden behind a mask. You pride yourself on achievements, both professionally and personally, and you find yourself often getting lost in your work; tunnel visioning until you have reached your goal. Some people may regard you as odd or strange, and others find themselves at a loss of how to read you, regardless of your forwardness. You are imbued with a natural curiosity for the world around you and will seek out answers, even where no answer has been discovered before."

The lower result is Ez, who looks unamused and has a freckled and moled face. His hair is a reddish brown and its pulled back in a half-bun, with two strands falling over her ears. Her shirt is a warm cream with brown vertical pinstripes, overtop he wears a magenta coat. In the lower right corner is the symbol of a crescent moon, in a pale greyish blue.

Ez's description reads:
"You are Ez, the deserter general with a fondness for structure and a penchant for idealistic thinking. Your shoulders carry a heavy burden and you leave footsteps that go unobscured by the rolling tide. It’s your job to carry on, unyielding in the face of adversary. You want nothing more than to change the world, for the better, and pay no heed to the discouragement of others. Despite this, you care greatly for what others think of you, and are wary of causing disappointment."

The upper result is Darcie, who wears a mischievously smug smile across his face, and has an eyepatch. The eyepatch is black and has an old coin sown into it. On the right of his face is a faint scar that goes across his cheek. His eyebrows are thick and his born hair is shaven. He wears a two tone brown fisherman's cap, with the visor a darker brown, and with a gold accent. His shirt is cream and his coat is a dark turquoise with gold accents, it is fairly tattered. In the lower right corner is a squarish-shape that is frayed somewhat similar to a cloud and is grey in color (symbol for dust).

Darcie's description reads:
"You are Darcie, the fisherman with skeletal hands. Often taken for the fool, you keep your cards close to your heart, although you are more clever than you let on. You seek to leave your mark on the world, in whatever form it may be, and desire to be recognized by those around you. With so little of the world’s machinations under control, why not exert what little power you have adding to the entropy? (You're a freak)."

The lower result is Alice, whose face is stern and overcast by the shadow of his brown hat. His hair is down to his shoulders and is a greyish brown in color. He has a full beard and a mole under his right eye. His shirt is a light brown, his vest blue, and his coat a warmer brown. In the lower right corner is the symbol for dust again.

Alice's description reads:
"You are Alice, a man of many epithets, forced to wander the world, undying. You want little more than to rest, with your stomach full next to the fireplace, and to dream of nothing. Routine sees you through day to day, but your bones ache and the world is relentless. Loneliness is your closest companion and even in crowded halls you feel like a ghost, unseen and unnoticed by all. You cherish small acts of kindness and keep them close to your heart, and you often think of the nameless passersbys in your life, and ponder your place in the world."

I was skeptical thinking i wouldnt like Xmen '97 but omg i was so wrong. The show is sooooo good. It feels campy, corny but doesnt pull its punches when the show deals with fcking genocide, death and grief

i feel like in recent years ppl have been forgetting about craftspeople. LOTS of people + artists want 1-10 of something custom and instead of making it themselves or hiring a craftsperson they try to order thru a manu. like amazoning 1 keychain of their oc or a completely custom ita bag

like people will be like "autism isn't an excuse to have really limited interests" "autism isn't an excuse to have poor social skills go outside" or something like not everyone is able to do that because it is a disability and it is not like Being A Little Weird disorder

Reposting one of my oldest pacrim comics from twt at @hermanngaylieb.bsky.social ‘s request... oh tank top hermann my. and newt's . beloved

(Originally posted 2021-Feb-21!) #pacrim #nerm #newmann #newtgeiszler #hermanngottlieb #art #comic #sketch

A pencil sketch of Newton Geiszler from Pacific Rim on pastel pink paper. Drawn from the waist up in a cartoonish style, Newt slams the door of Hermann Gottlieb’s room open, launching into conversation (“Hey Hermann did you take my fucking-”) before being cut short.

A pencil sketch of Hermann on pastel pink paper. He is drawn in a more realistic style. He lounges on his side in his bed atop the covers, dressed in little but a tight tank-top and boxer briefs. He looks up from the book he is reading, surprised, asking “Newton?”

A pencil sketch of Newt on pastel pink paper, once again from the waist up; he recoils, wide-eyed and blushing, exclaiming “JESUS, dude! Put a shirt on!” To which Hermann shouts back, “This is MY ROOM!!” Behind Newt is a sprawling mass of text indicating his internal dialogue, which reads “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD”

Pipi is doing fine! He was taken off the streets awhile ago by a nearby neighbor. He's not sick anymore and his scars have healed! He's SUPER soft and squishy now. He lives with another cat and a french bulldog.
