As I begin to elaborate on Dylan's story, I'd like to introduce where he is in my current OC "canon."

Dylan Discotheque is a 27-year-old transgender man. He was originally designed to be a personification of Panic! at the Disco, but later on, his "purpose" was lost, he's just a normal guy with a happy family. The closest he's been to a "personified Panic!" is if/when he's used alongside a reference to the band. 

Fun Fact: Dylan's cousins were at some time related to Panic! at the Disco in some way. However, the family is no longer associated with Panic! and are just normal people doing their thing.
Dylan Reference Sheet by bltter-sweet
Dylan grew up with his Parents and Cousins, they all lived relatively close to each other so they spent a lot of time together. He grew up closer to his cousin Jaden than Velia, but they're still close. They grew up to be as close as siblings and they're all very supportive of each other. Jaden was Dylan's biggest support once he came out as transgender, he even went to her first. His parents, on the other hand, are right on the edge of old-fashioned and struggle to learn with the constantly-adapting future. They tried to be there for him but struggled to support him in a way that made him feel validated. 


I also plan on making a timeline for The Discotheque Family in general. I'd like to figure out how old the rest of the characters would be in their Canon, figuring out all kinds of stuff like when parents met and when kids were born and weddings happened.
Those things will be added as they're made! This journal is a Work In Progress because I'm not doing all of that tonight. It's too late for that. 

I've decided that I won't go into any detail about Dylan and his transition. He is more than just "the trans character" and I don't want to make that the focus of him and his family as I develop them.

(3/7/2024) NEW LORE NEW LORE !!!!!
Elora is BACK in the picture babey. I've decided that instead of making Dylan x Elora a separate universe/timeline/whatever, I'm going to reel it back into the main timeline and connect everything again.

Dylan and Elora got married young. Their puppy love made the idea of marriage and starting a family sound so perfect, they couldn't wait any longer. They got along very well as a married couple, and after what they thought was an appropriate amount of time (and totally not by accident) they had a child. 
I had originally designed their child as Aspen, but they were later redesigned to be Willow (whose design has been updated since the linked drawing).

Dylan and Elora eventually realized that maybe their relationship wasn't all that they had expected it to be. They decided to get divorced. It was an amicable separation. They agreed that they enjoyed each other's company and loved each other, but not the way they used to. They separated when Willow was about 10 years old.

For Willow, this was still a difficult and confusing thing to experience even though their parents got along and tried to explain things the best they could. They never resented their parents for this, though.
Dylan and Elora had joint custody, and Willow was given a lot of freedom regarding which parent they wanted to spend time with. As they got older (and possibly influenced by the birth of their half-sibling, Kingston) Willow chose to spend more time with their mom.
When Elora's new partner, Eqros, came into the picture, Willow was naturally hesitant. But he's a genuinely nice guy so they came around fairly quickly and accepted him as their stepfather.
Willow has no hard feelings towards Dylan's "new family," but they aren't as close to Vaughn and Kingston as they are to Dylan since they started to spend more time with their mom and stepdad.

Prior to rewriting the lore, I had redesigned Willow to be the biological child of Elora and Eqros. That is what prompted their first redesign, actually. Now that I've taken it back lmao, I'll probably give them another redesign

here have an updated family tree that wouldn't let me show that Elora is married to Eqros lol

Hi hello everyone, I know this account isn't very active anymore but I wanted to give an update.


Ok to start it off, just why have I been inactive on my art platforms? Honestly, I just haven't had the motivation to draw full pieces as frequently as I used to.

I still like to draw!! I promise!!


And now here's the actual update part:

I will be going into my first year of college very very soon.

I don't know what to expect in terms of having any time or motivation to draw. I'll be bringing my drawing tablet with me just in case and I'll be doodling, but I just can't guarantee that I'll be able to improve my activity.


I ask that if you have any interest in my art, please follow me on Instagram (@cherrypit_art)


Ok time to get a little sentimental because I think it's overdue.

This December will mark 8 years of me sharing my art online. It all started here on DeviantArt. I want to thank all of you who have been there to support me, from my early days to my newest watchers. Thank you all for being here and watching my art grow

So I’m finally at a point where I can accept USD in exchange for commissions, so I will be opening my Ko-Fi as a way of payment! Because of the limitations Ko-Fi has in terms of specific intervals of money, I’ve had to alter my prices to accommodate. 

With this being said, my preferred payment method is USD Via my Ko-Fi (which will be available in my “about” section or sent directly to you). Points will also be accepted if that is the only possible payment. I still will not accept art as a payment.

As of May 13, 2020, my commission prices have been listed according to the DeviantArt Point Calculator, which establishes that $1.00 USD is equivalent to 80 Points. 

My Ko-Fi rates are $1 USD = 1 Donation/Coffee

Feel free to shoot me a note or leave a comment if you want to buy a commission!

  • Bust / 3/4 Body - 400 Blush Points   ($5.00)

    • ex: 



  • Fullbody - 560Blush Points  ($7.00)


  • My Little Pony - 240Blush Points  ($3.00)
    • This is for Ponies Only. Anything related to Equestria Girls will apply to the previously listed prices. Y'know, because they're relatively human.
    • ex: I dont even like mlp anymore what by bltter-sweet Mane Six Redesign by bltter-sweet This Was Supposed To Be Ironic But Uh by bltter-sweet


  • Additional Pricing:
    • +1 Character - Bust:  + 80Blush Points  ($1.00)
    • +1 Character - Fullbody: + 160Blush Points ($2.00)
    • +1 Character - MLP: + 80Blush Points  ($1.00)
