#espersyndrome

a younger zinnia, wearing a traditional Mennonite outfit, awakening as an esper in the middle of a sunflower field. she silently observes a spirit made of 3 balls with feet human-centipeded together by their cartoon nose and wearing a bowler hat. in the background, a white blocky figure stands in silent vigil and weeps. the background features a standard spirit world city on the right and a series of windmills on the left. ghosts and spirits flit amongst the clouds. the original passage of text i wrote for this piece is as follows: 'after all this time, i still feel like i'm dreaming... i-im scared that i'm going to wake up. that i'll be right back there. that i really never did manage to escape...' 'no of course it's not rational, idiot. i'm still the same scared child i was back then. what, you'd expect her to know anything either? how do you think i ended up the way i did in the first place?'

don't you feel like you're dreaming?

...aren't you afraid you're going to wake up?

erin and a ghost hi erin hiii

idle erin doodle to test out vector layers - theyre REALLY useful when you like to rotate and rescale elements (which i have been doing much more lately). i'll likely be using them goin forward actually. #espersyndrome #oc

erin after some kind of altercation, bleeding from a closed eye and drooling blood. a nasty gash is torn into her side, ripping her shirt and staining her dress. she holds a ballpeen hammer covered in someone else's blood, which also stains her face. tears run down her face and smudge her eyeshadow but she has a happy look on her face and gives a reassuring thumbs up. a speech bubble has her quoting a tumblr post by boycritter from dec 14, 2025 - 'just finished learning how strong i can be if i have to!! i hope the next thing i learn is something fun and awesome :grin: :grin: :grin:'

saw a post and thought. thats erin. #espersyndrome #oc

zinnia standing in front of an abstracted sun, decorated with vines, trellises, and flowers. her face, shoulders, and upper arms are sunburnt. she twists towards the viewer with a haunted glare on her face. i recently talked w a friend about zinnia's character and it was interesting to see that my weirder ideas were actually coherent in any manner. i think she might actually be my favorite to draw all things considered.

not your flower child #espersyndrome #oc

sketch of ivy standing on a rooftop with angel wings, smoking a cigarette. below her the city sprawls out, infested with ghosts and spirits. id add more text but idk what, im living at least. one of my friends showed me the music she liked listening to yesterday and i had a lot of fun. i dont want to cry for help if i dont know whats missing.

sketch i did a bit ago but never cleaned up #espersyndrome #oc

FUCK I FORGOT TO TAG IT AGAIN #oc #espersyndrome

two affini and their florets, left to right: - ivy, renamed to 'freak', modified to have a fox's ears and tail. flipping the viewer off and cursing them out, but also getting something out of this arrangement. - hedera primat, a short, hunched affini with scraggly hair, a busted ww1 type helmet, and a smiling face obscured by shadow. keeping freak on a tight leash both physically and metaphorically. - helianthus asteracae, a winged affini with a 5-eyed sunflower for a face and shoulders covered in flowers. currently hosting sunlight's flower on xer body. - erin, renamed to sunlight asteracae, beaming with joy. she wears a loose dress and her arms and head are adorned with vines and flowers. she has also been modified to have wings similar to her mxtress. takes to the floret lifestyle very well, but if you know erin you'd probably have been able to guess that

tinkering with the idea of a human domestication guide au for my sort of 'main setting'? really just messing around with designs and ideas. these are erin and ivy's new owners in this branch of reality #oc #espersyndrome #hdg

FUCK I FORGOT TO TAG MY SHIT #oc #espersyndrome

three future zinnias. her hair gains a spiky quality when no longer maintained and she no longer wears twintails. her clothes are somewhat tattered and looser but in like a punk way. she wears eyeshadow and a headband. the first one smokes a cigarette and looks at the viewer with tired eyes. this is legit her resting face when not masking. the second has her angry and summoning a very deadly looking vine. the third has her excitedly rambling about coffee - shes a BIG fan of coffee

doodle from a bit ago of a "post timeskip" zinnia who is making an effort to be more true to herself. #oc #espersyndrome

zinnia, the one with really long twintails. on the left she looks outwardly happier but with rounded pupils (a sign shes faking it). on the right she's expressionless but clearly fucking pissed.

zinnia again. on the left she's holding some coffee and has a somewhat bored looking expression - this is likely what she looks like when she's being perfectly natural. on the right she's genuinely distraught.

i was rambling about just. posting doodles two days ago so fuck it. i was tinkering with zinnia's expressions and now everyone else can see her too #oc #espersyndrome

erin, an emo-ish girl with a flower on her head, flanked by 3 ghosts. she eyes a standard ghost while one holding a bat and one with a very large mouth flow past her. in the background is text describing the diagnosis of a disorder called 'Esper Syndrome'.

is your child acting like themself? #oc #espersyndrome
