    I was going to yap about all my different OCs

    But then I realised there were people aged 12 in 2014, who are full adults now.

    And now my arthritis is flaring up.

      My brain just went “What do you mean I was 12 in 2014, I had graduated high school awhile ago” then sighed.

        Right? In 2014 I was dropping out of my first college due to mental health issues.

        I would then start another in 2017

        How are people so young.

          The inevitable passage of time consumes us all.

          I hate it. Want to help me try and stop entropy?

              I’m all for it! I totally didn’t daydream about being a Sailor Scout as a little girl! I have trauma anyway, so let’s add magical powers!

    12 years old, 2014

    Man I can’t get over that part.

    But I was bullying people with long pronoun lists if I’m being honest. In 2015 it was Hamilton OCs I was bullying.

      I wanted to make it young enough that the OC would be obviously terrible but recent enough that thinking about what was popular at the time wouldnt involve too much research.

    Hmmmm… when I was 12… Nixon resigned, Lucy and the Terracotta Warriors were unearthed (in Ethiopia and China respectively but it sounds like a band this way) Ali KO’d Foreman and Aaron outhit Ruth, my dad hated driving 55, my mood ring was always black… No Chinatown or Godfather for me, but I was allowed to see Blazing Saddles! Oh and I heard some of the older teens talk about a new game called D&D that was supposedly getting kids into drugs…

      Nice to know I’m not the oldest one here. When I was 12 someone failed his shot at Reagan and a Russian sub ran aground in Swedish waters. The marine kind, get your mind out of the gutter. 😉

        Umm when I was 12 Kurt Cobain killed himself.

        I’m still partially convinced Courtney Love did it…

      We had a local computer repair place called Coyote Computers who set up 5 gaming PCs and charged me and my friends a dollar an hour under the table to play the original CoD or HL2 mods after school. Good times.

        The local computer repair shop was a little slice of heaven in our rural town. That sounds amazing.

    OCs are usually based on some fandom, it’s considerably harder if you have no point of reference. So, which fandom?

    Also, in 2012 I was into Homestuck. Even back then, I wasn’t particularly motivated to make a Homestuck OC …
