FUCKING OCS DAMN IT
Okay. That was slightly uncalled for, but there's a reason. Ocs are everywhere. Even some iconic Creepypasta characters used to be Ocs like Clockwork and Toby. There's one big problem. People do whatever the hell they want to with people's Ocs. There's actually some shit going down on Tumblr between Lehrastar and the creator of Rogue the prowler.
I don't know exactly where to stand on the arguement. Lehra makes a good point. She thinks that because you put it up on the internet and it's available to everyone you should expect it, which is true. Rogue's creator, however, thinks it isn't right and that people should respect the author's wishes, which is also true.
It's like this. Say Thamuz got popular. I wouldn't want him shipped with anyone because A. He eats people and B. He's a demon. Kastoway pointed out before he left the fandom that Toby was canonically shipped with Clockwork. Now there's Ticci Drowned, Ticciwork, etc.
Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about Ocs themselves. THEY USUALLY SUCK MAJOR DICKS. There are good ones, but very few. (Heart Collector John Tyree is one I like). BUT I MEAN LIKE THERE'S ONES WHO FUCKIN LOOK LIKE JEFF OR BEN OR EJ AND ARE SO FUCKIN DUMB. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? Then there's the names. JOSANNE THE KILLER MARIA DROWNED EYELESS EBONY DARKNESS DEMENTIA WAY. Wait, that last one is from a bad Harry Potter fanfic...
Oh, oh, then there's the weapons and clothing. I am going to say this now. TINY SKIRTS SHIRTS WHERE YOUR BOOBS ARE FALLING OUT AND HOOKER BOOTS ARE NOT PRACTICAL FOR MURDERING PEOPLE. Oh and the weapons. Get original people. NOT EVERYONE USES KNIVES AND SCALPELS. Sure Thamuz uses a knife once but then he fucking RIPS THE ONE PERSON'S INTESTINES OUT WITH HIS HANDS. Seriously get original.
