22 for the ask game, whatever oc(s) you want

Ask game ask game!

I'll take the lead of my previous post and pick the same three again. 22. ZHANNE: Her compassion, fiery indignation and her refusal to die. She's very unaware that anyone could ever admire her for this, as she doesn't realise these are admirable traits. CERATO: Her oratory skills, her outfits, her compliments, her flattery, her looks. She's very aware. She made sure to excel in them herself. LILITH: She doesn't know it, but the person closest to her looks up to her for and is inspired by the stubborn way in which she continues to try. She stumbles, yet she gets up every time to fall again. But no, she cannot conceive of herself as worth any praise. That's the reality she's learned from the deluge of abuse hurled her way by the itnernet.

hit me with 12 17 and 19 for ocs of choice :3

Hooray ask game! Let me roughly describe the three different (Homestuck-style) OCs I will be doing this for (because I can't resist). They all feature in Hellbent! ZHANNE MORTIS, rustblood who accidentally inherited a protest movement and is wildly out of place at the helm of it CERATO HONING, purpleblood, schismastic leader of what's basically the start of clown protestantism LILITH SPHYRA, fuchsia and heiress apparent, who doesn't quite know why everyone has been treating her as a failed heiress ever since she assumed the role 12. ZHANNE: Definitely hot-tempered, but it's difficult to get her *actually* actually mad. She's quick to argue but also quick to start arguing about something else. Corpse is most frustrated by the apathetic and the listless, those who accept things as they are and refuse to listen. CERATO: Glacial, because she has to be. There's a deep, burning indignation at the core of her and she clamps down on it. Fortunately for her, starting Clown Protestantism will be sufficient revenge. So it's not so much a temper as a penchant for grudges. She's most frustrated by people that interrupt. This definitely has nothing to do with her subtle psionics. It does have everything to do with her grandiloquence. LILITH: Too perpetually confused to have a temper. To get mad at something she'd have to stop being sad first. Most frustrated by the thing that everyone else "gets" that they won't tell her. 17. ZHANNE: Pathetically so. She hates the way in which she gets overly clingy and attached, and always vows not to do so again. Unfortunately being isolated and lonely means she inevitably repeats this with everyone that extends a helping hand. CERATO: The job takes precedence, but she has a paramour on the side. Not that she wishes anyone to know. Even then, that's more of a sexual relationship more than a romantic one, but she'd be surprised by the depth of her attachment. She definitely has left a string of broken pushers behind, and has destroyed their social networks along with the hearts. LILITH: Too panicked to consider love. 19. ZHANNE: How to convince people. She believes herself to not be effective enough at agitprop and is always looking for ways to get people to *care*. CERATO: She really wishes she was actually classically trained, and had the appropriate skill with a variety of instruments. She believes she's not worthy of being considered high class without this foundation. LILITH: Everything. Poor little Lightbound Page that she is, she is always too late, picking up pieces and fragments of what she was supposed to know, or learning too much about what she wasn't, half-overheard implications leading her astray and in circles. She just wishes she had the knowledge she knows she needs to rule. She knows she's going to die, otherwise.

Ooh, you want to read about troll interpretations of feminist theory so bad. Oooooh.

POV switch! Bonnie's mystery goes unsolved just a little longer, but instead we get to see the people that consider themselves the "real actors" in troll society!

Hellbent chapter 1.3 is up! Go read about Bonnie's quest to find Dirack! :D

"you accidentally killed somebody, which mutual(s) do you text for help"

@marsti

no explanations or justifications given or necessary

🍦 the choice of character is yours

"name three good things about a character you hate"

i see we have chosen violence.

i don't actually hate any of my own characters, i love all of them. so it'll have to be others. i'll even give you a two for one deal here.

the expected one - tavros nitram, homestuck

Tavros is an excellent foil and contrast and inextricable from vriska's arc as a character that should "have it all" compared to her, but actively refuses to engage in the same games she plays. A vision of a kinder world she is never allowed to access. This is despite Tavros being lower on the haemostratum than Vriska. He is a perfect rejection of her. A petty, cowardly rejection, but a necessary one that cannot be extricated. She would not be Vriska without him.

He additionally fulfils an interesting role in relation to Gamzee: here is another highblood that wants him, whose advances he cannot rebuff too openly, and who carries around his corpse after death because of how obsessive he is. I don't like how the fandom treats these two, but I think their dynamic is incredible to contrast against Tavros and Vriska. Tavros likes Gamzee a lot more, but that same discomfort showcases the power imbalance between the two, and Tavros is arguably more uncomfortable with someone whose intentions he cannot gauge as readily as Vriska's.

Plus, while it was really annoying, you have to admit the dancing after triumping over Vriska was really funny. Still can't stand it but like good for him.

the one that doesn't mean anyone to most people - lyra sonoshe, mythical

She's a very driven and committed person who does what is necessary when it is necessary.

The people she's dedicated to she won't leave behind.

She can and will make the difficult decisions that no one else wants to make.

also i'm killing you for making me suffer.
