frings, in general

This was originally posted as a Twitter thread on July 6th 2022, in advance of chapter 2 of ship to oblivion.

Now expanding on the original thread: let’s talk about the cast of original characters (OCs) in this story, my inspirations and motivations, etc. You can click any of the pictures in this post to see the full resolution version.

As I’ve mentioned before, creating original characters isn’t usually my favourite thing, and I tend to stay clear of them while writing fanfiction, but I’m happy with this cast I stumbled upon making. I’m also glad to see people enjoying their existence, so thank you.

If you’re curious about anything else related to this topic, or if you just want to let me know you enjoyed (or did not enjoy) this read, the comments are always open. I’m not one to usually share this type of thing because it can feel quite self-important, but I hope it was of some use to you.

Thanks for reading, and if nothing else, I guess this is a statement of the fact that everyone out there is a full person with their own lives, motivations, concerns and worries that still exist even if we’re not privy to or concerned with them. Be kind, yeah?
