plot summary:

• didn't do much bc my premium expired and i am Poor and only felt secure/profiley enough to slap another year down yesterday
  
• got to a Big Reveal in RP stuff and i'm amped about it
  
• gonna try and do at least one mini bio per day this month for OCtober(tm) - cranked out two yesterday
  
• briefly described the terms en2rety & altirety that pop up in bios
  
• added more + better folder descriptions and tons of flattened subfolders so people's roles in the setting/story are much clearer now
  
• lookin for someone to take over the generator freebie bin because i havent updated the thing in months and don't make enough freebies to feel invested in it anymore :pensive:
  

what's up gamers long time no see... because i didn't have premium for a couple months so how could i bear to be active on toyhou dot se while my poor ocs suffered from broken profiles?? (continues to ignore the ocs who still have messed up profiles from the big css changes like a year and a half ago)

uhhh actually don't have too much to say why'd i make a whole state of the iso address... well i dropped a big oc spoiler i'd been planning for 5 years in rp finally, you can see sort of a prelude here and the actual reveal here but basically A Certain OC who seemed innocent at worst turned out to decidedly be Not That and god i am so glad i finally get to rp him as his true self.

i had lofty goals of having a full profile out for orchid shortly after the reveal and i was gonna make a cool IC bulletin and probably mess with my user css and stuff for a while but things happened so fast that i wound up not having time and ever since i've just kinda been lazy. also i should probably wait for another very small reveal before i make a profile for him anyway just to make it easier to right, not that it won't have a bunch of stuff blacked out because The Reveals Have Only Begun

it's been fun tho obviously it's hard to talk abt to people i don't rp with but all the stuff happening right now is the culmination of a decade's worth of rp history and character development and planning and it's SUCH a relief to finally have ya boi orchid out there and to be able to talk about en2rety and have other people plan things now... it's fun to not have it all be limited to the Spoiler Club(tm) ya feel me now we can have shit like this thread of chaos

ANYWAY I dunno maybe I'll make Orchid a mini bio first just to have him up since he's so important, but he's also pretty deserving of a full-on bio and I think I'd like to just jump straight to that... but he's also got a ton going on and I should probably get him some better artwork than my own first so I can shove him in everyone's faces more properly but IDK

Speaking of mini bios though! I'm thinking of making this OCtober because OC is right in the name and I don't draw enough for Inktober, so why not do a thing where I make at least one mini bio every day? That seems manageable and would make up for time lost, not to mention I just need to get more OCs up in general. Not rly committing to anything for sure, but I'm definitely gonna give it a shot and at least try to make mini bios more often!

So with that being said, check out my latest two!:

- Here's Lureus, a catboy with an axe problem. Surrender your chicken nuggets before he takes them by force.

- And here's Chaurus, a beefy shark man who will try his best to save your chicken nuggets but cannot make promises.

They're both boyfriends of Poe and come from a similar school of "OC concepts I made on a whim but they quickly spiraled into being big favs and also Ignis fan-characters for some reason." I'm am... love them.

Also wanted to mention something that'll be present in all of my profiles: En2rety and Altirety. They've been mentioned here and there before, but long story short they're sort of like AUs that are important enough to at least get a footnote in people's trivia sections. Some are important/different enough that they'll get their own profiles (or at least mini bios,) but at the very least I'd like to make sure I mention them somewhere from now on. The real reason I bring them up is to describe them in here so you don't just ??? and wonder what the heck is going on.

Not going to get into Entirety theory and all that since that'll make things more complicated; read about it here if you'd like! But even that doesn't fully go over it, especially since it's written IC, so ideally I'll make a formal post about it somewhere. Thinking about making a FAQ bulletin or world thread or something where I could link that and my stats thread and ok I'm getting off-topic again. Like I said just think of them as AUs even they're more complicated than that... an Entirety is the consolidation of every timeline & alternate universe so they're Big Deals and no one should be crossing between them, basically.

En2rety is an Entirety where this jerk took over everything, ever, with the aid of that Entirety's version of Dicro. It's essentially the "bad end" for everyone's OCs. Might have to crosspost the thread where I talk about all of my differences (and everyone else does as well) since it provides a lot of info on what it's like! Just know that it's where the folks in that Big Reveal thread I linked hail from, and the fact that they can cross Entireties apparently is a big red flag.

Altirety - also called Intirety - is based off of our initial alternate Entirety subforum. It's less straightforward than En2rety, not really being a consistently better or worse version of Ent1rety/Entirety Prime. For example, the Tested don't have to kill each other all the time anymore and their creator is stable now, but pretty much everyone in SYOL is dead. Heaven and Hell College get along well now, but that changes so much that some OCs wound up never existing or have vastly different circumstances now. It's essentially an Entirety where everyone's story lines have one major change to them, and whether that change is good or bad varies quite a bit.

AND LINKING FOLDERS REMINDS ME I DON'T THINK I MENTIONED I FIXED UP ALL OF MY FOLDERS!??! I did that, like, a month ago, but go give my folders a look! They all have descriptions now and, better yet, I flattened things out so everyone's places in the setting/story should be more clear, especially for the HeColleges!

The last thing I wanted to mention is that I haven't really had the energy/interest to keep up on the Generator Freebie Bin for quite some time now and really need to hand over the reins to someone who'll actually keep it up to date! I'll mention it in the thread and the freebie bin discussion bin whenever I get the spoons to face the poor folks I've been rudely neglecting for so long out of shame and guilt, but if anyone's interested or knows someone who might be interested, hit me up!

That should be it, I think?? Hope you're all doing well, and hopefully I'll have some time to start catching up on my 2,116 character notifications because you all have very cool OCs!!
