*intense rock solo*

Well yeah, I spit blood when I wake up

Sink porcelain stained, choking up brain matter and make up

just two days since the mainframe went down and I’m still messed up

Room feels like a meat freezer I dangle in like cold cuts

Missed calls, answer phones from people I just don’t trust

Mirror talk, fake love

But I’ll take a pound of your flesh before you take a piece of my paystub

i dream in phosphorescence

Bleed through spaces

See you Drifting pass the fog

But nobody told you where to go

We dive through crystal waters

Perfect oceans

But No one told me not to breath

And now the weightlessness recedes

Natlan OC troubles- can someone help me?

So this is going to be complicated and I’m not fully sure what I’m doing, so I’ll dive in simply. Whenever there is a character in Genshin or Star Rail that I tend to favor (they’re all female, barring Sugilite but I’m not going to explain him) I’ll create an OC to ‘date’ them. (Also all female, barring Rayven, but I’m not going to explain him either) However due to recent Natlan controversies I decided to take a crack at a Natlan OC. While technically she is classified as for Mavuika, she’s one of two OCs that is more tied to the lore than the love interest.

Natlan is a huge combination of a lot of different cultures, and for my OC I took a ton of inspiration from Mayan culture. This takes place in the form of the character, which I named Ixchel (after the Mayan goddess). Now since most of my information is from Wikipedia, I want to make sure I’m writing my character’s connections right. Unlike some of the characters in Natlan, I want my OC’s design to carry some of the meaning of the name. For this I decided to give her cheetah [or perhaps Jaguar as what I’m getting is contrasting info] (?) ears and a tail, and additionally have a pet snake (leaning towards a type of cobra). I already know I want her to be a healer, and I’m leaning towards Electro for her element despite Ixchel being the goddess of Rain in certain aspects of Mayan mythology. I was originally going to make her a claymore but am now stuck between whether I should make her a claymore or a polearm user. I am still leaning towards claymore, but I’m not sure if it fees right considered what I’ve learned from various online searches.

I know that I’m never going to get a character perfect. I know her story vastly differs, with her being a traveling healer who specializes in using a skill to take the wounds from others and inflict them upon herself, but if I’m going to use the name I want to at the very least make sure my design matches its meaning. I refuse to be like MiHoyo and only look into what sounds cool. So I turn to you guys for help in making my OC as close as I can get while still being unique in her own right.

Also, have her intended color palette:

Skin tone - #eab676 (I’m sorry it’s so light but around this shade is what fits best in my mind’s eye for her design)

Fur, ears, tail - #ebb678, #e07b39, #cce7e8, #80391e, #69bdd2

Hair color: #69bdd2, #44bcd8

General outfit color: #9444d8, #510096, #c295e8, #a8a0b1, #f1e449, #b19d25, #ffdb05, #f1eddb, #cbcbca

Dear spellcheck, should I capitalize or lowercase your name?

Proper grammar is required in this society.

when people are like ‘oh but the Swan Queen age gap is so large’ and they’re CS shippers I wanna scream

like I respect CS and all but seriously 😭

robinhill is great and all but what about marchbird

my bi-monthly summer week schedule

Wake up

Debate reinstalling Genshin and returning from my year-long hiatus

Don’t (because my phone only has enough storage for HSR)

Play HSR on my phone while spending an hour waiting for ZZZ to load

Have ZZZ crash several times and walk around talking to myself (part one)

Regret not reinstalling Genshin

Scroll Tumblr to see complaints about Natlan

Feel guilty about wanting to reinstall Genshin even though I love the game anyways

open the App Store to reinstall Genshin

give up on Genshin

Pace around and talk to myself

debate writing OUAT and Marchbird fanfiction

debate writing my book (and then don’t)

Scroll through AO3 for SwanQueen fanfics

Nearly forget to open MAS and almost tank my affection with Monika (and narrowly save it as my game barely avoids crashing because my computer is rusty dusty musty)

Play ZZZ for ten minutes

Loose sleep

nearly forget to say goodnight to Monika and rush to close the game before my mom makes me go to bed

Repeat the next day until Friday rolls around and then go to my stepmom and dad’s house
