List of OC's and self inserts
I included this in a Tumblr post so it's about time I posted about it on DA. Some of you will already know about my OC's but here goes.
Camp Lazlo OC Emma (renamed from Claire): 2007-2008 though I’ve tried to draw her & write for her since then (maybe 2014-2016 & 2020-2021), a shy cat who is Edward’s girlfriend. Became a self insert although she wasn’t at first.
There was a Camp Lazlo OC called Emma before her (2006-2007) & she was more tomboyish but I didn’t really know what animal she was meant to be.
Apparently I tried to make another one in 2007- a mouse called Sophie who likes Clam & talks like him.

South Park OC Emma: Self insert I drew/designed/roleplayed as in 2007-2008, I think I drew her again (different) in 2010 & roleplayed as her again, redesigned her in 2015 (inc as an adult) & in 2020
South Park OC in 2007: https://www.deviantart.com/emmalovesedwardxxx/art/South-Park-OC-71424603 (there were different designs of her in this era too) (Nothing from 2010. No 2015 or 2020 designs on here)
Fifi and the Flowertots OC Rose: I think I thought about making her before (maybe a few years ago?) but I only just drew her (in 2022-2023). Self insert who loves Stingo. (Nothing of her on here yet!)
Sailor Moon OC: Self insert I tried to draw around 2008-ish- I’m thinking of redesigning her and calling her Sailor Earth with some Earth related attacks. Sailor Moon OC around 2008: https://www.deviantart.com/emmalovesedwardxxx/art/Apparently-I-tried-to-create-a-Sailor-Moon-OC-852733416
Spongebob OC Emma: Mermaid OC/self insert I started trying to draw & write for in 2023. (Nothing of her on here yet!)
Dragonball OC: Trying to create a saiyan OC for Dragonball. Before I made an actual OC, I tried to insert myself in to Dragonball in 2021 with a story I started so may have to rewrite it.
Simpsonised myself in early 2008 & again in 2011. I think friends might’ve drawn it for me in 2009-2011 aswell Simpsonised from 2008: https://www.deviantart.com/emmalovesedwardxxx/art/Me-on-The-Simpsons-80234796 Simpsonised from 2011: https://www.deviantart.com/emmalovesedwardxxx/art/Me-on-The-Simpsons-again-951592462 EDIT: just uploaded today!
Family Guy’d myself in 2011 & again in 2018 & again in 2023! (just now) (No designs on here)
Ponified myself in 2015 & again in 2022
(No designs on here)
Puff’d myself in 2016 & again in 2017 (& 2022 but only the clothing changed)
(No designs on here)
Oh & Peanutized myself in 2015 aswell (Not on here)
I’ve also inserted myself in to Fur TV & EastEnders (wasn’t really an OC)- with drawings in 2008 & even tried to write about Fur TV around 2008 & again around 2013 or something. Me in Fur TV (2008): https://www.deviantart.com/emmalovesedwardxxx/art/Happy-Birthday-to-me-91289849
Also tried to insert myself in to Space Ghost (didn’t actually make an OC)- a friend drew it around 2011?
Looking at this list makes me wonder if I should finally upload some of those simpsonised or puff'd pics etc I did on character generators...even if they're outdated & need updating! Some of them I can't update! With some of them I did more than one design that year- for example 2 pics for South Park OC in 2020 so I don't know whether to upload them separately or together? (They are all on Tumblr though)
EDIT: Last updated in Feb 2024
Because of how much I invested in Edward (my crush on the character) & my OC & my pairing, I sometimes think of it as bad memories and a little hurt or pain- well sometimes anyway- I feel like people didn't really understand my pairing (even though I had a lot of reasonings behind it but people didn't really get that from pictures I guess) and I feel like people didn't like me just because I liked Edward. And I often feel the need to defend myself & my pairing when I look back on it- I feel insecure about my pairing. Maybe people don't really like OC's? But when I say all this, I'm forgetting about all the Camp Lazlo friends I actually had and the people that actually supported me.
Back in the day when I was a teenager I would actually get my feelings hurt over insensitive yaoi fangirls telling me that Edward (I had feelings for the character) is actually gay & in love with Lazlo & they're like so totally soulmates. A pairing that I didn't even like (even though I like some yaoi) & everyone was obsessed with it & would go on about how they're in love & soulmates etc and it was the most popular pairing in the whole show & it was really overrated lol. They would also take his feminine side & exaggerate the hell out if it and would tell me that my manly little beast lol was the girliest thing in the world lol & make him "the girl" in his & Lazlo's "relationship". But that's shippers & yaoi fangirls for you lol.
Even though I sort of moved on from Camp Lazlo & Edward in 2008/2009, because of how much I invested in Edward & my pairing & stuff and how my stuff is still all over DA etc & I still upload old art sometimes, I get reminded of it sometimes every now & again- and you know, my pairing still exists. I guess it hurts when people don't understand it.
Even though I don't get intense crushes/feelings for characters anymore (I still do get my crushes, I just don't get these strong feelings for them anymore like I did as a teenager & a child), I claim to still like all my old crushes & look back on them. I guess feelings were attatched to my old crush & my pairing I guess is what I'm trying to say.
So some of my friends actually had Joe Murray (the creator) as a friend on facebook for years but at the time I wasn't really interested. Then years later, I actually decided to send a friend request & he wasn't accepting it despite having mutual friends. Ouch. Because of everything I mentioned above, that hurt. How the fuck would he even know I'm the same person though? I felt like it was because he doesn't like me or my pairing or the fact that I liked Edward. Doug Lawrence (the voice of Edward) accepted me though.
Sometimes I still just get on with it though (uploading old art etc), fuck the haters.
EDIT: I now feel bad for saying all this (about thinking of some of those days as bad times etc) when most of my memories with my friend Elesha (Numbuh778) who died earlier this year were from this era and I will treasure those memories with her forever. We both used to have OC's and we both used to roleplay together. Good times and we still kept in touch over the years. Most of my memories with my friend Bill were from this era too- he disappeared off the internet after getting trolled over 13 years ago and I never got to speak to him again. Believe it or not, I sometimes wish I could go back to those days (even before Elesha died) in 2007/2008 when I was 18 when I was more active on YouTube & forums/DA & stuff and talked to Bill & Elesha a lot. I can't even bring myself to read this whole journal (couldn't bring myself to edit it until now tbh)- who gives a shit about the thing with Joe Murray or what haters think anymore? Even though I don't really draw or write the Camp Lazlo stuff anymore, it's made me think that I want to put it to rest and not continue (no new stuff) when Elesha who used to roleplay with me & owned the Victoria the cat OC is dead. I just did one last tribute drawing to her (which I never uploaded). I haven't brought myself to upload anything old or new yet- haven't got a scanner anymore anyway.

(I haven't posted a journal in years- I don't think they display my latest journal on my page anymore, just my latest "posts". This is a shipping meme I posted years ago on tumblr but apparently not on here)
10th anniversary of making my cat fancharacter Emma- August 8, 2007 I believe
(10th anniversary of renaming her from Claire to Emma- Officially October 8, 2007)
11th anniversary of the original Emma??- October 15, 2006 roughly
This is a very belated journal about the 10th anniversary of my account lol. I was late last year aswell lol. (Jesus Christ, I'm 6 months late) I was going to tie this in with the 10th anniversary of my fancharacter Emma- or the 10th anniversary of renaming her to Emma (after me) lol, as she was originally called Claire (one of my middle names). And now I recently realised that in mid October it's 11 years since I started to crush on Edward (from Camp Lazlo) in the first place. (I know dates of things because I have old diaries & stuff from back then lol.)
So yes, you read that bit at the top right, before I created my white cat fancharacter for Camp Lazlo called Emma who likes Edward (those of you who have seen my stuff should be familiar with her), there was sort of ANOTHER character called Emma who liked Edward- the original Emma. Around the time I started to fancy Edward in Oct 2006 (before I knew much about fandoming, fancharacters, fanfiction.net and DeviantART), I imagined myself as a little girl character in Camp Lazlo (anyone else ever imagined themselves in the show when they like a character? lol) who joins the bean scouts. She was more of a tomboy than the other Emma and wasn't as shy, and instead of joining the bean scouts because it was part of Commander HooHa's plan to prove that boys & girls shouldn't join camps (this was in my fanfiction), she disguised herself as a boy, I think (and she didn't want to join the Squirrel scouts, neither did the cat Emma). She hides all her long hair under a baseball cap and Edward is attracted to her when he sees her without it. I didn't draw her until November 2006 though (and in January 2007 lol), they were mostly NSFW pics lol and it looks like I couldn't work out what animal she was supposed to be. In some she has a nose like Patsy's, in one she has a button nose, and in some she looks sort of human. She also seems to be wearing a dress (aswell as her baseball cap) and has a somewhat mature figure. I dunno if these pics ever saw the light of day though- if they did, they would've gone on my old DA before I got rid of it or on a password protected page on one of my Piczo sites or something. I also wrote very short NSFW stories that were more like dirty jokes lol between January and June 2007 but I don't think I uploaded them anywhere at the time? I decided to upload them years later. They're still on Inkbunny. Apparently she also writes him a love letter and kisses him a lot (not in the stories) and they seem to get on quite well in the stories with Edward still as his grumpy self lol.
And then in August 2007 after I turned 18, I joined fanfiction.net the same day I created my cat character, first drew her & started writing a fanfiction about how she came about. But I never finished it so that's why it was never seen on here at the time. A few years later I decided to upload it anyway and it can be found here: New camper in Camp Kidney (Chapter 1) and New Camper in Camp Kidney (Chapter 2) I also found out about roleplaying from friends, and started mostly roleplaying instead of writing fanfiction and developing my character & her relationship with Edward that way- although I did start writing a fanfic based on a roleplay I did with someone ( Edward's true feelings ) which again was never really finished so it never got uploaded until I decided to upload it anyway years later. Unfortunately a lot of the roleplays don't exist anymore. So this was all after I made this 2nd account with DeviantART and joined FurAffinity, so lots of fanart & stuff of her & Edward lol.
So this one was originally called Claire after one of my middle names (until I renamed her to Emma in October 2007) and she was cuter & shyer. The shyness and stuff was based on me and I was 18 at the time, but she was at first mostly just a cute little character (with a soft toy bunny called Cuddles in some of the first pics) who likes Edward, until she became a little more of a self insert- when I was roleplaying her & stuff I would almost be roleplaying her as if I were roleplaying myself. She was a timid & quiet character who kept herself to herself which is something that Edward appreciates lol as characters like the Jellies get on his nerves. She is gentle & softly spoken and empathizes with him & gives him the understanding he needs, and is patient with him. So I had the idea that he sees her as his in real life Veronica as before he only had his doll to talk to & confide in and that he would be happier if he met the right girl & stuff so I guess my fanart showed them at that stage in their relationship lol.
But like I said earlier, when she was called Claire she originally joined the Bean scouts as part of Commander HooHa's plan to prove that the boys & girls shouldn't join camps (he doesn't want Patsy camping with boys), so Edward didn't even like her at first- he was very against a girl joining the camp & wanted her out and was pretty mean to her. He was supposed to eventually develop feelings for her but acts like he doesn't and continues to treat her badly in front of the others, until he confesses that he likes her too when she gets him on his own and they have a secret thing going on (he doesn't want anyone to know), until he is eventually more open about their relationship. Lol. He's even on good terms with Lazlo in some pics lol, and in some no.
So yes, it's now more than 10 years since I made this account and started doing my EmmaxEdward fanart and stuff. The years keep on just flying by. Obviously I was mostly active back then (like 2007-2008), but a few years ago I started finding my old stuff and uploading it to main gallery and scraps. The plan a few years ago was to finish doing that and then upload more recent stuff so it's at the front of my gallery- already uploaded a few before though. I will put up more eventually lol. I still come on here to favourite pics too.
9th anniversary of my account and stuff
As I've stated in previous anniversary journals (if you've seen them) this isn't my first account on DA- I first signed up in November 2006 at the age of 17 but I deactivated the account. Although I was mostly active in 2007 and 2008, I made a sort of comeback at the end of 2010 well over 5 years ago and since like 2011 I've pretty much been in the process of gradually finding and uploading loads of old stuff so newer stuff is at the front of my gallery, although I have already posted some here:
, here:
, here:
, and here:
Mature Content
. My goal at the time was to eventually start doing commissions (I've only done point commissions so far.) Uploading loads of old stuff also included scraps (maybe a couple of newer ones too), any old fanfiction or stamps etc, and a bunch of old & new photos- of myself, pets and zoo/holiday, and plushies. It's very hard to get a decent pic of me lol so I decided it counts as photography lol but I uploaded ones that have a sort of theme to them like Easter, webcam effects, etc. Still got the plushie ones, lol. But I haven't uploaded any photos in a while. I also still come on here to favourite things too.
Earlier on this year, I found an old character profile for my Camp Lazlo fan character Emma from back in the day and wrote up a lot of information in the description on what her character was about & what her relationship with Edward was about if you want to check that out if you haven't already:
I will eventually upload more stuff. Watch this space.
