3,5,6 and 49!

Thank you very much for sharing(op changed username so the ask game is now here) and for your asks!

Let's all dive into some of the Veronica's backstory!

And thank you for your patience hahaha, here are my answers:

3. Are they more “traditional” or do they break barriers?

no she isnt much of either traditional vampire nor toreador...

she is very humane and she likes people and she goes along with the technology update and people's fashion/habbits changes

she kinda looks pretty much typical for toreador but she isnt as full of herself and high art/high society as you'd expect typical toreador to be...

here i made little chart that i found for her

she actually never was accepted kindly by most of toreador clan in the city, she was embrased in (Chicago), halfly bc her Sire waslone wolf among toreadors, halfly bc she herself didn't fit their standarts and she didn't like their mean attitude

and after that and so on she kind of didn't get to join any other toreador group from other cities too

she has lots of friends and allies from different clans though! lots of gangrels and brujas among them for some reason XD

she also has friends in camarilia and anarchs, been there and there too, kind of playing in both feilds i guess

5. Who is their sire?

William Moore (he/him lesbian) in the past, changed to nowdays Kellen Moore (they/them nonbinary)

they used to be harpy of Chicago, they were looking after masqarade maintenance and getting rid of witnesses etc

you can read more about them if you go through my older posts, tagged as "moore"

6. What was their relationship to their sire? Were they close in any way or mere strangers?

First Veronica didn't like him much bc he dragged her into hell of being vampire, but overtime she grown softer and softer to him

then they became a couple, you could say they were close yeah... 😏

Veronica's humanity went lower from becoming vampire and learning how to hunt and be vampire and such, but over time when she learned that she wants to still know and understand humans well, her humanity went back up

Veronica and William were together for few dacades, untill the incedent around 60s

the incedent was when Veronica charmed some dude to feed on him in his apartment (charming humans for food didn't count as cheating for Veronica and William, as long as it is not long term relationship), and she drank his blood but he didn't forget as much, and whats worse, he turned out to be conspiracy and monsters entusiast, and he realized she is a vampire and he was so excited and over his head about it and wanted to call his friends entusiasts, Veronica panicked and didn't know what else to do but bite him again and drank him out to death

scared and shocked from what she did she called William to come and help clean this mess (especially since its his feild of expertese). William and his two ghouls arrived(he has old gay couple as ghouls btw... well they look young-ish but in modern days they are pretty old...) ghouls were cleaning the evidance and getting rid of the body, while William was trying to calm Veronica down and support her, bc she was pretty psyched that she killed an inocent man

William tried to convince her that she did the right thing, that saving the masqarade was more important, Veronica was still hysterical and said something about that it is easy for him to say, considering how many people he killed after embracing her (more of that here). William never told her about it but she found out herself... He said "I did this for you" and she answered "no. you did it for yourself." anddd... that was a break point in their relationship, they broke up

Both were mad at each other for a while

Veronica couldnt find a porpose for herself and was drowning into apathy and depression and was just slouching about for some time, then she met a group of anarchs who were passing by and stayed in the city for couple of days. One of them flirted with her, they talked a bit and he jokingly offered her to join them, she said she needs to think about it, and next night she really decided to put everything behind and run away with anarchs bc she was sick of camarilia anyway, and so she did

her Sir sure did get in some trouble for the fact that his childie joined anarchs, he was partly upset but partly thinking that maybe it is for the better, and considering if it wasn't fair to hold her on the leesh

after some traveling and more life experience Veronica still was thinking about William and experience that she had, and at some point she decided to write him a letter, to ask how is he doing and confess that now, after time passed she understands that he was partly right on that horrible night, about saving masqarade and all that, tho she wishes she could find a better way to resolve the situation back then etc

and so they slowly started talking again, little by little fixing their relationship into friendly

later on in 80s William helps her rejoin camarilia, when she asked for shalter from sabat in New Orleans. William called toreodor premogen of New Orleans - Adzone, and asked him if he'd accept Veronica in the city. After looking at Veronica up and down Adzone smiled and confirmed to other heads of New Orleans that she's worthy of joining (who know what he saw, or what thought he read! he is an ancient ass vampire who diablored A LOT of vampires in his past c: )

in 90s after apocalipsis almost happened, Veronica felt especially need to go see people she loves, so she visited Moore in Chicago - at this point after almost the end of the world, he quit his harpy job and was having existential crisis. They caought up pretty well (but only as friends) and Veronica brought them a gift - a computer! she started teaching them how to use it and convinced them that using new technologies is a great thing, also introduced them to some new gender terms she learned from newer generations of people

nowdays they are still friends and chat online more or less frequently

Veronica still feels romantic longing for her Sire, but she thinks that it is her bloodbound, and she is always conflicted about her feelings towards them, bc she doesnt like the thought of blodbound dictating her emotions and feelings and she worries about it not being sincere

She doesn't know that her bloodbound is gone long ago. she just still has aching heart for them, and probably alwyas will, but oh well 🤷‍♀️

49. Detail your OC’s backstory!

like... like ALL OF IT???? oh for fucks sake thats A LOT X'D

ok maybe someday I will do some major Veronica's backstory post, will put all the previous posts together or something, and add drawings idk...

but that day is not today ahahah.....

maybe if i do it in drafts slowly, little part each day, ill be able to, maybe... wait for the updates, i guess X)

ask game 1, 7, and 14 for tart?

1. What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

so i like these guys

fire emblem three houses, ever heard of it. anyway i was still hella obsessed w them and thought of maybe playing ffxiv as one of them, but couldnt decide which, so i decided to make a fankid oc. theyd have the combined traits of my otp so itll be just as fun as rping as them!

i was wrong. its so much more fun than i thought

7. What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

THE EYEBROWS

I LOVE HIS PERMANENT >:3 FACE SO MUCH this actually embodies tarts design much better than her fem miqo'te model which is why im extremely attached to catboy tart

also the lip scar! the two halves dont quite line up when hes got a straight face, but when hes smiling they do and oh wow i cant not have that forever. i retconned catgirl tart to have always had that scar too bc i love it sm

14. Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?

"how do you see a forest for more than the color green?" is. such a defining line for him. i found it late but man. man....

theres a lot from other sources, and ive probably put many of them in his tag! its a pain to dig through though so a few others:

post-endwalker tart reflects a lot of tohno shiki, and even more in dawntrail. ohh boy. the lines below about arcueid is more about shb-era tart especially with reeq

the lyric "so don't ask, no—just say when" from carly rae's picture. theres an illustration of a pair of snakes captioned "tart like venom" that rly made me feel !!!! and you know im always partial to "6 ft and bottoming, thats the type of greed they talk about in the bible" bc god its so true

finally, a line from fem!tart voiceclaim, absinthe: "Why do I keep my weapon right here? I said it before, you need a stable working environment. Anyone who wants to bother you will have to ask my little friend first."

pairing. ilumi zoldyck x (insert oc)

summary. In a quiet village, she runs a humble café, serving customers with a serene smile, unaware that she has captured the interest of one of the deadliest assassins alive. Ilumi Zoldyck, cold and emotionless, finds himself drawn to her—an anomaly in his carefully calculated world. She does not flinch under his piercing gaze, does not cower in fear like others do. And that intrigues him. What starts as silent observation soon spirals into obsession. He watches from the shadows, memorizing her every move, ensuring no one else dares to lay claim to what is his. Even Hisoka, ever the provocateur, finds amusement in Ilumi’s growing fixation. But Ilumi is not a man of patience. If she won’t come to him willingly… he may just have to take her. After all, a rare treasure should be kept safe—locked away, where no one else can touch.

tags. yandere ; kidnapping, manipulation ; friends to lovers ; eventual smut (will be tagged accordingly).

a.n. i've posted this on Wattpad as well. Been taking a day-off from writing fanfic since 3 years ago. Hope everyone enjoys this! <3 all likes, comments and reblog are greatly appreciated. xoxo miyuki

status. on-going // prologue, chapter I, chapter III, chapter IV, chapter V, chapter VI

The night was crisp, the scent of damp earth lingering in the air after an earlier drizzle. The village streets, lit only by sparse lanterns, cast flickering shadows that danced along the cobblestone path. The occasional rustling of leaves and distant chirps of nocturnal creatures were the only sounds that accompanied them. It was the kind of quiet that felt suffocating to most—but Ilumi found comfort in it. He wonders as well but, he just put the thought aside for now. Ilumi was not accustomed to uncertainty. Every action he took, every step he made, was calculated. And yet, when it came to the girl from the café, he found himself unable to predict what should have been the most obvious outcome—her reaction to him.

Would his presence in front of her change anything at all?

He did not like lingering questions. He sought answers. And so, tonight, he decided to step out from the shadows and confront his curiosity head-on.

Of course, he was not alone.

Hisoka, ever the opportunist, had decided to accompany him, much to Ilumi’s dismay.

“Oh, this is quite unlike you, Ilumi~,” Hisoka mused, strolling beside him with the kind of exaggerated leisure that made him seem out of place in the quiet village. “Approaching a woman directly? How bold.”

Ilumi did not react. Hisoka’s presence was an irritation, but not an obstacle. If anything, it would serve as an additional test.

By the time they arrived at the café, the warm glow of the lanterns outside flickered against the darkened streets. Through the window, the girl could be seen tidying up the empty tables, preparing to close for the night. The only remaining customers had already left, leaving the place nearly silent.

Ilumi stepped inside first, Hisoka following with a lazy gait. The door creaked slightly as it shut behind them, the sound breaking the quiet atmosphere. She looked up at the sound, her gaze meeting theirs directly.

Nothing.

No hesitation. No wariness. No immediate sense of fear.

Just quiet acknowledgment.

"Welcome," she said, a soft smile was plastered on her face, her voice light, unbothered. "You're just in time. I was about to close, but I can make an exception. What would you like?"

Hisoka chuckled, moving toward the counter with an amused gleam in his eyes. “Oh my, does that mean we’re intruding? How terribly rude of us.”

Ilumi ignored him. “We won’t be long.” Ilumi studied her. He had expected at least a flicker of unease, a moment of recognition that something about him was… different. But there was none. If anything, she regarded him with the same gentle attentiveness she had given to all her customers before him.

She regarded him for a moment before nodding, her soft smile didn’t faltered even for a second. “Take a seat. I’ll bring the both of you something warm.” Despite her knowing that most of the tea had already been kept in the small cabinet in the cafe, but she didn’t mind fetching them for the two gentlemen in the room. She then took a small chair for her to reach the cabinet where she put the tea a few minutes ago.

Hisoka leaned onto the counter, propping his chin against his palm as she moved behind it. “How sweet~ You must be used to strange men showing up at odd hours, hmm?”

She didn’t even glance at him. “Not particularly.” She answered, her soft voice sounds like music in Ilumi’s ear but he shook the thoughts away, taking a close look around the cafe. Analyzing the arrangement of the chairs, tables and small ornaments being put in the room. The soft light coming from the lantern itself glows quite nicely, putting out a comfortable vibe in the room despite their presence trying so hard to turn the room into an uncomfortable vibe and yet, the room refuses to answered to their intoxicating presence.

Hisoka’s smirk widened. “Yet you don’t seem the least bit nervous. How refreshing.”

She didn't paid him any mind and poured them tea, placing the cups in front of them with steady hands. Ilumi watched her closely, taking in every detail—the way she carried herself, the absence of hesitation, the way her eyes didn’t reflect even a sliver of fear. The soft smile on her face didn’t seem to faltered even just for a second.

The café had become eerily silent, save for the occasional clink of porcelain as the tea was set down. Outside, the wind whispered against the windows, carrying with it the distant sound of rustling branches. The lanterns’ glow painted warm hues on the wooden floors, creating an intimate yet unsettling ambiance.

“Do you live alone?” Hisoka continued, stirring his tea lazily. “Or does someone wait for you at home?”

Ilumi shot him a glance, a small warning perhaps—for him not to do anything towards her but the girl merely answered with the same soft tone, “I live with my grandparents.”

“Ah, a family girl.” Hisoka sighed dramatically. “How disappointing.”

She remained indifferent to his antics, simply wiping down the counter as they drank. Hisoka, however, wasn’t done playing. “Tell me, do you ever get scared?”

She finally looked at him, confusion was written across her face. She then tilted her head slightly. “Of what?” Ilumi could not help himself but to be amused over her obliviousness.

Hisoka grinned. “Of people like us.”

Silence filled the air between them. Then, she blinked once, her soft smile was still plastered on her lips before replying, “Should I be?”

Hisoka let out a delighted laugh. “Oh, I like you.”

She chuckled softly, shaking her head lightly before replying. “That makes one of us.”

Hisoka gasped dramatically, placing a hand over his heart. “Oh, what a cruel rejection! And here I thought we were forming such a lovely bond.”

She chuckled, simply shrugged. “You assumed wrong.” Ilumi simply sat, lifting the cup to his lips, tasting the tea but focusing on her. Waiting.

Would she fidget under his gaze? Would she avoid looking at him? Would she finally sense something was off about the man before her? But no. She merely continued cleaning, humming softly under her breath, unshaken by his scrutiny.

It was… strange.

For the first time in his life, Ilumi was the one feeling observed—except she wasn’t watching him with suspicion or fear. She was simply existing in the same space as him, treating him as if he was just another customer passing through.

Minutes passed in silence. She finished her cleaning, moving toward the front door to flip the sign to ‘Closed.’ When she turned back, she met his gaze again, tilting her head slightly in curiosity. "You don’t talk much, do you?" she mused.

He set his cup down, his fingers still resting lightly against the porcelain. "No."

She chuckled at his bluntness but said nothing more, allowing the silence to settle comfortably between them. Hisoka watches with a smirk on his face, amused by the scene collapsing between the two of them.

Ilumi finished his tea in silence, remembering the small exchange between her and Hisoka a few minutes ago with passive interest. There was something about the way she handled Hisoka—effortlessly deflecting his teasing without a hint of intimidation—that made her all the more unusual. Most people recoiled under Hisoka’s presence, yet she remained unchanged. The smile on her face never seem to faltered even a single bit, he found it quite amusing. And he never found anyone amusing before. Until he met her.

The tea had cooled slightly by the time Ilumi finished his cup. He set it down with a deliberate motion and pulled out the appropriate payment.

Ilumi remained for a moment longer, studying her, searching for any sign that she was pretending—forcing her ease around him. But there was nothing artificial about her. She was simply as she had always been.

Unchanged.

Indifferent.

As if his presence truly made no difference at all.

For reasons he could not explain, the thought unsettled him more than he had expected.

Rising to his feet, he placed the payment on the counter. As he placed the money on the counter, he studied her reaction—or rather, the lack of fear presenting on her face. Not even the slightest flicker of curiosity crossed her face. She then took a glanced at it and smiled for the last time that night. "Thank you. Please come again anytime."

Hisoka hummed in amusement, watching her as they prepared to leave. “We should visit again, Ilumi. She’s quite fun.”

Ilumi didn’t respond. Instead, he cast one last glance at the girl before stepping out into the night.

The cool air greeted them once more, the village feeling emptier than before. The faint sound of laughter and conversation from distant homes carried through the air, but Ilumi hardly paid attention. His thoughts were elsewhere.

His presence had made no difference to her demeanor. Not in fear, not in intrigue. Nothing.

And yet, despite that… he knew he would be back. Because for the first time in his life, he was curious.

And curiosity was dangerous.

He wanted to see how long it would take before something—anything—in her expression changed because of him.

Even if he had to force it.

oc in 15

tagged by @space-writes tyy ive spent my morning reading ur fics coincidentally <3

Rules: share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!

gonna do gideon!!

"Unfortunately, I remain dedicated to you. Because I’m in love with you and have always been under the impression bedding another would be a betrayal of that."

"But when we... do it, it will be love-making, right?"

"Apology accepted. There is no 'fucking' or 'dicking', chaste as a cloistered sister, as I said. But you do seem the type to enjoy that sort of thing. Fereldans. You've been here too long."

“I’m sorry. I’m drunk. Ignore me, I’m not acting like myself.”

“You’re terrible.” Gideon repeats, smacking his palm flat against Rodaine’s chest just to touch more skin. “In front of a cloistered man nonetheless.”

“I wouldn’t. Then he might tell me what you say about me when I’m not around. And I can hardly handle what you say when I am.”

"If I could stay at your side, I would. I would never leave it."

“I’m scared. I’m so scared.”

“I would retrieve it for you but I’m afraid I’ll come across something ghastly or perhaps things aren’t fully, um, taken care of. Not that I doubt your abilities. But truly it would be no bother if you wanted to come and look. With me.” A pause. “Or not. You don’t have to.”

"I can't be just your friend and your... bedmate. I can't. Please don't ask that of me. I-" He breathes a shaky breath, still gripping Rodaine tight. "Can't be only your friend and... bear to see you every day."

"Why am I here? You pulled me from my friends, my work, my position in the Circle for what? I can't wait around until you decide you forgive me. Or if I can, I can at least do it from a distance that doesn't hurt so much."

“You will be the first person I tell if I get a mortal papercut or maybe roll my ankle gathering herbs.”

"Personally never go near the thing myself, I'm as chaste as a cloistered sister."

You should see my room. You would hate it. I have a whole corner for prayer and I’ve discovered my grimoire is perfect for pressing flowers.”

"I didn't mean like that, you dirty..." he grasps for the right word, "Heathen."

i will tag @sinquisition @aztarion @transprincecaspian and @foxboyclit

[humanteethmarksonhumanbone]

Updates on our beloved Molly??

so many, so much stuff, everything where do i even start this is going to take me forever to respond i just know it

(so idk if this means like general updates or lore (not your fault) but think is already getting really long but theres so much i need to say so i think i’ll make this a summary and then a master post with everything and tag you if you like 👍 )

general updates: i wrote another little story! its a non canon crackfic where she goes to brunch with some of the tma avatars, its silly its goofy. its not super recent persay but idk how to advertise it. and it has an oc from a jmart fic i wrote, she was supposed to be a one and done character but the parasites, the parasites made me expand her lore.

(btw the short story is ch.3 of her statement but im planning on making a separate series eventually)

Im also planning on writing other side stories aswell (ex: childhood, cats, outsiders pov, character analysis etc)

spotify playlist: also not like super recent but i forgot what you about. Its mostly vibes but some of them he specific reasons. and some billy joel & elton john cause those are who her cats are named after and the type of stuf she grew up listening too.

lore updates: i’ll start with the beginning. So ive been thinking about her childhood alot specifically with ms Gretchen and i have decided that they are (distantly) related like grandmothers sister or something because it makes more since on why Molly went to her. However Molly does really know/remember (she has a ton of stuff blocked out)

ms gretchen was in fair good health till she was like idk 10 so for a few years she taught her how to cook, read, write etc and home schooling her to the best of her ability

cats:

i have decided what her cats look like

Billy Joel (her childhood best friend, her neighbors cat)

brown cat with a white belly

Elton John (the stray that visits her dorm)

orange with a bit of white

right now i cant think of any more (i know i probably have more but brain yk) and this is already pretty late, but thank you thank you for the ask!! shes been festering around and i needed to actually write it down

tldr: short story/crackfic, spotify playlist, ms gretchen and moly are realtes and her health only really started declining when molly was about 10 but before she was an ok care taker, i think about her alot, and thanks for the ask!!

OC TAG GAME ｡*･♡;

tagged by @aragorngf to categorize my ocs and make them in this picrew by crowsen!!  

♡ FAVORITE OC. (At the moment) 

Lukas Warren — Fallout: New Vegas

This was cruel to make me pick between all of my kids but I think Lukas at the moment is always kicking around my head — my sweet boy my poor little meow meow. I have so much in my head about his relationship with his family both the complicated horror story that is his family and his adopted ghoul mom Majorie and how much that really shaped his worldview <3

♡ NEWEST OC.

Caroline Clarke — Various

Cara my beloved!! She’s my OC for a post-apocalyptic RP group I’m in and I love her sm <3 She’s a hunter from West Virginia who’s still trying to getting used to living in a (somewhat) civilized part of Boston after living in the literal Appalachian woods for a solid three years with her brother. I’m excited to write with her more !! She’s a sweet person but is still sort of closed off after so much has happened 

♡ OLDEST OC.

Aerie — The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim

Aerie is definitely one of my oldest ocs!! Skyrim was really one of the first rpgs I played and honestly I feel like she’s both gone through so many iterations but also stayed pretty consistent!! We love a wild girlie who the universe had to make her a short nord to balance out the whole dragon soul thing

♡ MEANEST OC.

Ethan Warren — Fallout: New Vegas

Some people deal with their issues in all sorts of ways; Ethan decided to deal with it by razing his hometown to the ground <3 Having his father be burned instead of crucified like the Legion normally would to not give him the satisfaction of dying like jesus is understandable given what an awful person Richard Warren was, but joining the Legion and staying for years is a bad move maybe 🤔

♡ SOFTEST OC. 

Merethel Lavellan — Dragon Age: Inquisition

This was tough between Merethel and Ophelia but I think he’s someone who’s got a quiet compassion to him. The role of inquisitor does chafe on him a lot with him being more comfortable behind the scenes and being with people one on one as a healer. But I think people tend to underestimate how intelligent he is at first with his gentle nature, because he definitely learns how to play the “game” of politics in his own right by the time of Trespasser (even if he is very eager to get rid of the Inquisitor title).

♡ MOST ALOOF/STANDOFFISH OC. 

Endaryn Ravel — The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Even before he lost his place at the Arcane University in Cyrodiil after being booted to Morrowind because the Emperor Said So (rip 😔) , Endaryn is someone who just wants to be left alone to study!! And stuff KEEPS happening to him and he just wants to finish his thesis can he please stop getting weird dream messages from Dagoth Ur

♡ DUMBEST (AFFECTIONATE) OC. 

Leondas Vendicci — The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

It’s not that he’s dumb, he just lacks any and all self-preservation or self-respect! <3 Jk, but Leondas is definitely the guy who acts first and thinks about it later when he realizes the consequences. A fuck around and find out kind of guy, you might say. But yeah, definitely the type to run into Oblivion portals without much of a plan. But he’s MY favorite dumbass so it’s okay

♡ SMARTEST OC.

Ophelia Faye — Fallout: 3

WOMEN! IN! STEM! Ophelia’s definitely the most intelligent; (I did actually give her a 10 in her Intelligence SPECIAL score). But I would say it’s pretty much all like science and medicine based intellect, and she’s the most comfortable in a lab or med bay than out in the Wasteland.

♡ OC YOU’D LIKE TO BE FRIENDS WITH IRL.

Euurydia Daeron — Star Wars: The Old Republic

I have NO idea if Dia and I would actually hang out IRL but she’d be the most fun to hang out with. She’s the perfect extrovert to adopt an introvert like me and talk my ear off and convince me to try one drink and suddenly it’s 2 am and we’ve been cantina hopping in the Lower Promenade on Nar Shaddaa for hours

[myunghology]

why do you tag your smaus x reader when they are basically oc x character in every way but the name? 😭

YEAH i was wondering when i was going to get asked this question. my smaus aren't x ocs, because yeah i have different smaus. my smaus are still literally x readers, unless you're reading another smau (i don't know if this is a good explanation help) which the other reader from another/different story is going to be an oc, because i can't write for 1 reader now in 2 different stories can i? 'cause it'd be considered cheating now would it 😁

unless this is about how ive written my smaus and it's actually about the [reader]'s backstory, or personality, then im sorry but considering there are literally multiple readers for the smau so i decided to make [reader]'s backstory more interesting more than make it more relatable because obviously everyone is different, and it'd feel biased and not including if ever. + which is why i made the stories connected so people can find out about other ones.

i purely only ever made ren and mina for fun and as a second thought, i just wanted to see how they looked like in the others story, and also because i wanted my other friend's oc to have someone to fw lmfao

also if this is about me spamming tags (i get it id be annoyed too ive blocked people about this 😭) ive been trying to limit my tags too, so it won't spam the x reader tag so much because it'd be annoying to see the same thing over and over again if you aren't even interested, so feel free to just block me i don't really mind

anyways that's that. thanks for asking ;3

20 Questions for Fic Writers

@inkoherentwriting, @bretongirlwrites, and @wispstalk have all tagged me in this so I should probably do it (this is not a complaint! I love tag games, I'm just think it's funny).

I'm not sure who of my usual list writes fanfic so this is an open tag.

1 – How many works do you have on AO3?

151 in total. Druidx has 107, and my pseud for PodFics, Dru-Pod, has 44

2 – What's your total AO3 word count?

Currently 246,748. (I've got three other large fics in the works that'll bring that up to ~500k when posted.)

3 – What fandoms do you write for?

My main ones right now, by number of works, are:

TES IV: Oblivion

Fighting Fantasy World of Titan by Steve Jackson & Ian Livingstone

Starbound

Thunderbirds Are Go (2015)

Those in the past, and that will never grace AO3, are (in order of recency):

Star Wars (Savage Worlds TTRPG)

Sherlock (2010)

Star Trek: Deep Space 9

Discworld

4 – What are your top five fics by kudos?

Technicolour Nightmare (Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)

Flowers and Ice (Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)

Crimson Storm (Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)

Family Treasures (Thunderbirds 2015)

Avoiding the Emperor (Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)

Technicolour Nightmare is a kind of a surprise, because I don't think it's one of my better fics, and was a half-assed kinda throwaway story about a feverish HoK being rescued and cared for. For the longest time the top fic has been Flowers and Ice which never surprised me given that it's very much about Everyone worrying about Martin doing something stupid, and then descends into the HoK worrying about everyone, and ends with the promise things will be better. Avoiding the Emperor is also not a surprise, since it was the very first thing I posted on AO3.

5 – Do you respond to comments?

I try my hardest to, when I get them.

6 – What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Of those posted, it's probably Bitter Winds and Rain, which is about Aderyn not handling Martin's coma well. Young Dagger, False Dream which is drafted but not yet posted, comes a close second with Alexis feeling forced out of the group she thought were her friends after an ideological split.

7 – What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

TIL a lot of my fics have an upbeat ending XD At First Blush takes the win, I think, with Methredhel and Rhiannon's kiss.

8 – Do you get hate on fics?

Gotta get comments to get hate, eh? The worst I had was on Tumblr for No Rose Without a Thorn, where someone was rude about the OC I was writing about (wasn't even my OC - I'd borrowed someone else's which might be why it made me angry).

9 – Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nope. I have tried and tried and decided it's not for me. It's never been published, because it makes me cringe at how bad it is. The most you'll get from me is some heavy petting and a fade to black.

10 – Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Dinner Time is probably the wackiest crossover posted, with the main Trio from Oblivion and some characters from Fighting Fantasy World of Titan. I also started a crossover with the Trio from Oblivion and the main characters from Thunderbirds (2015), but that's unlikely to see the light of day

11 – Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge.

12 – Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but I'd be honoured if anyone ever wanted to.

13 – Have you ever co-written a fic?

Not a fic, no. I tried co-writing an original story and it did not go well, and has soured me towards the idea TBH.

14 – What's your all-time favorite ship?

That I've written, I suppose I have to say Martin/Baurus since I've written 26 fics about them... By fave to read though is Bilbo Baggins/ Thorin Oakenshield (Bagginshield). TBH though, shipping isn't something that I really bother with much; Martin/Baurus was for a friend.

15 – What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Her Lonely Shadow is currently the top contender. It's the 'what happens next for Alexis Dalliance' story, set after the end of her campaign and before Elo's campaign. I've been writing it since 22 Apr 2015, it's still on the 1st draft sitting at 174,266 words. I don't feel like it's ever going to be finished...

16 – What are your writing strengths?

Pacing, the balance of prose to dialogue, descriptions, and character voice.

17 – What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting, subtext, and making sure 'c' grade characters still have some 3d-ness to them.

18 – Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

All for it. I think it's fun for a character who doesn't speak that language to have to figure things out from body language or other social cues, or muddle through with their broken skills. In fantasy it's less risky though, because you can mash words out that sound good, but for IRL languages, you need to take a bit more care. One would hope, however, that if a native speaker has an issue with something I've used Google Translate for, they would mention it in the comments so I can fix it.

19 – First fandom you wrote for?

Discworld.

20 – Favorite fic you've written?

... I'm going to do them by fandom because this is an unfair question XD

Starbound - Home That Our Feet May Leave, But Not Our Hearts

FF/World of Titan - Dead Reckoning Returned

Oblivion - Abecean Blue

Thunderbirds 2015 - Family Treasures

Speaking of the tag, what about your OC’s??? How do we get to know them ??? <3

omgg thank you for asking!!! i’ve literally never actually talked about them on here except for randomly tagging post with their names lol. the ones for the short story I mentioned are kinda still works in progress (ig they all are but y’know) but i have another book series i’ve been working on with a whole cast of characters. so basically the main character is named adyen and he’s pretty much that archetype of “chosen’s ones best friend who gets killed off early in the book”. except he’s aware of that and actively tries to do something to change it. he’s human and good with a sword but that’s about it which in a world w magic and stuff is kinda hard for him. his (ex) best friend is lila. she’s the “chosen one”. she’s this super powerful elemental fairy who is being trained by lucien who is the head of the “revolution” (long story short it’s not quite as black and white as it seems) and she’s slowly becoming a different person than before and changing into someone adyen doesn’t know both by lucien and lucien’s right hand woman, jaya’s hand. they’re separated for a while and adyen decides to join one of lucien’s little war camps w a bunch of other “rebels” where he meets poe and piper who are twins. pipers a big fighter, really believes in the cause. poe doesn’t like fighting and they’re not a coward exactly but they just aren’t really built for fighting. while at the camp poe meets kol who’s a siren (but isn’t like seducing poe or anything). at some point they all find out lila has been kidnapped by the dark mages (the ones lucien is fighting this war against) and adyen and the twins come up with a plan to save her that involves adyen going in disguise into the dark mage kings castle. the dark mage king happens to be a guy around adyens age named kieran. the more adyen gets to know him the more he starts to wonder if he’s on the right side of the war. right now i have the series lined up as three books and ive been working on it for like 5 years now which is crazy. all of the characters have their own struggles and experiences that have been so cool to write and ughhh i just love them so much!!! i tried to keep this kinda short lol so consider this an introduction post to on a collision course with fire (the working title of the series) and i might have to talk about them even more in the future as they continue to grow and change!!!

tagged by @nuclearstorms @aartyom @faarkas and @cultistbase to do this tag game for some ocs!

not doing the picrew bc i can't make them all in it and it will make me insane but here it is for anyone else who wants to give it a try!!

FAVOURITE OC

SEBASTIAN VIDAL | 2077

it was a tie between him and alex. but i decided not to give alex special treatment bc otherwise he would be on here twice. anyway this isnt about him. this is about seb. the saddest wettest beast of an oc i think ive ever created. he can fit so much lore in him. he has the worst life. his now boyfriend once tried to kill him no less than 20ish times. his ex wife also tried to kill him. everyone is trying to kill him and he's just out here big silly and gay about it. AND he has great boobs. whats not to love. theyre so big bc theyre so full of the love he has for his friends and family. and im obsessed with him

NEWEST OC

VEGA | 2077

they are a bartender at a club. they have black and green hair. they love short guys and fast cars. theyre a menace. they were a merc once. they can down a whole can of beer in under 10 seconds. you want to he their friend so bad.

OLDEST OC

ALEX SHEPHERD | N/A

literally THE guy of all time who is SOSOSOSOSO important to me. he's gone through so many changes, appearance wise, story wise, even names. he is an amalgamation of so many old dead ocs i didnt know what to do with. he is THE babygirl of the moment and the moment is forever. he has existed in some form for 10??? years now. he CANNOT stay dead and it really shows in both his story and how many iterations he went through to get to this point. tall bastard man who im in love with actually.

MEANEST OC

RUTHIE O'CONNELL | N/A

she's a girlboss but also a horrible person. she tried to kill her husband [after she died. ghost revenge] and eventually succeeded. and then tormented his great[?] nephew, alex. for so many years. until HE also died. bc of her. and now his [not] life is in complete and utter shambles. 0 remorse she just saw this baby and was like ok now how can i torment him psychologically for the next 22 years of his life. and then did it. and for what. girl thats a wholeass fresh baked infant why are you haunting him. go somewhere else.

SOFTEST OC

NOAH TALAVERA | 2077

he is just a little guy who is SO full of love despite the horrors. so gentle with literally everything he touches. the city could have completely changed and ruined him. he could have become angry. he could have become a merc to get money. and fall into that pit like so many others did. but he didnt!!! he didnt let that happen!!!! yes the city may have hurt him and left him with cyberware he never wanted but it will NEVER stop him from being kind. ever. and i love him so much for it.

MOST ALOOF/STANDOFFISH OC

XAVIER MASON | 2077

he is an arasaka plaything whose whole personality has been completely altered bc of it. he used to be welcoming and friendly and Kind. but bc of literally everything arasaka did to him, he's extremely cold and distant, and a bit of an asshole. he is well aware of this, and there is a little voice in him somewhere. begging for him to be kind again. just once. because while he won't ever admit it, he doesnt want to die believing everyone thought he was nothing more than an arasaka bootlicker and an all around shitty guy. he's a loving father, deep down in there somewhere, he just cant show it. and he doesnt know how </3 he'll figure it out again. one day

DUMBEST OC

LUCIANO VIDAL | 2077

it's funny bc he is actually really smart, his brain is a sponge when it comes to learning new things, he is a great listener, and will remember basically everything you ever tell him. however!!! when he started his job as a security guard at a club, he somehow didnt notice his own brother was also there working occasionally. for a whole entire month. [theyre both idiots there sorry seb] but then after that. he also failed to mention to his two sisters that he finally got in contact with his brother again after almost 20 years. it took. ???? a good handful of months for anyone to find out. and it was entirely by accident.

he's very stupid and his idea of what is and isnt important is Very skewed. but i still love him.

SMARTEST OC

LEON DELLO RUSSO | 2077

he designed his own cyberarm. the fingers are full of different sized screwdrivers for different emergencies. he once plotted out the floorplan of an entire spaceship by memory and sheer luck. he is very good at repairing things. he is a cybersecurity expert. he almost got killed for hacking into the wrong systems at work once. he contains multitudes.

OC I'D BE FRIENDS WITH IRL

MARCUS/RYAN/VAL | N/A

yes theres three of them theyre a package deal. marcus sees ghosts. ryan is a wandering soul trying to find her body back. val can read your fortune with eerie accuracy. if the three of them were my friends my life would never be boring ever again

being a varigo shipper to non-indoctrinated mutuals is so funny. like yes, remember that hit disney movie tangled? yeah well they made a TV show outta that and the entire fandom decided to fixate on a character who has a main role in like eleven out of seventy episodes and was publicly hated by the creator of said show and to make things even worse two storyboard artists took their dnd OC and started shipping him with this character and now everyone fights over who bottoms

we really took avengers (2012) for granted. thor had plastic armor. stony and clintasha were national icons. loki was full on in his tswift reputation era and it was so real of him. bruce was an absolute treasure and the only acceptable canon appearance of him in the entire mcu's run. tony built a tower for his friends and they never talked about it again

bc ive been playing minecraft a lot lately on my brother's realm i've got a map mod so i can see the surrounding region and boy howdy so we're on the tundra island right, we've lovingly named it antarctica

here’s the map for reference

i thought 'hey, i wonder what's around us' and went exploring found a lot of continents (or so i thought) so i went further, realized they're all part of one  supercontinent that's surrounding us, and we're in an inland sea

another interesting note, there are a lot of shipwrecks, ocean monuments, underwater ruins, ruined nether portals, all those things none of them are on or around antarctica so whoever came before us did not settle at all on this island, and i don't know why there are a couple little villages, so it's hospitable to villagers, but not to whatever our precursors were

Hey bestie it's me here to hand deliver a gas station blorbos ramble!!! Thank you for your participation!! Okay so I had to think a little about something I don't think I've told you about already (<3), and I think I will tell you about one of the original creepypastas that I love and adore. It's about the time Jack and Jerry get kidnapped by an old classmate of Jack's.

So the whole thing is about like. This guy, Beaux, kidnapped these two to sacrifice them and summon an ancient god. Thing is, he doesn't know what he's doing, and they're both unafraid and unimpressed. They spend most of the time heckling him, while he gets more and more agitated.

A running joke here is that Beaux is like. Incredibly racist and nasty. He believes people of color are the reason for all of his problems and he's the epitome of a white cishet man with a persecution/victim complex. I have no pity for him.

Anyway Beaux thinks he kills the part-timer he kidnapped with them, but the part-timer wakes up, punches him in the face, and runs away. Beaux fails to catch him, and he has a fit about how Jack and Jerry are being so difficult and his life has been nothing but suffering. Eventually, Beaux decides to sacrifice himself to summon the god, but he's too afraid to go through with it.

Jerry very enthusiastically offers to kill Beaux instead--Beaux wants to die and Jerry wants to kill him, so it's a win-win! And Beaux accepts. He lets Jerry out, boasting about how Jerry could never have the guts to hurt someone, and Jerry cuts him off by shooting him in the leg. The god comes and drags Beaux to another dimension, and Jerry stops it from taking him and Jack too by peeing on the portal. I'm not kidding.

Anyway yeah Jack and Jerry get to go home with minimal injury!!!

I’m fucking honking what is this series

My #1 post of 2022

[points at you] tell me about a blorbo. you have ten seconds /s

(jokes aside hi i want to hear about ur ocs pls and thank u, i just don't have specific questions in mind)

Blorbo…

Anyway I’m gonna talk about Renfield bc he’s always on my mind so, cw for body horror, cannibalism, and corpse talk under the cut

Ren is from Inferno, and is the ‘mouser’ in Gordon’s Ridge, the main town the story takes place in. By mouser I mean he eats rats and mice after chasing them on all fours.

He’s not human! In-text no one is sure what he is (except his partner Jordan). He’s actually a parasitic worm that’s attached to the brain of his dead bf. Because of this, he looks anemic and kind of waxy. Like a bad embalming job.

Worms need to eat flesh to survive, and often eat people; they don’t see the issue and don’t distinguish between meats. They’re not human, after all, so that’s not part of their outlook.

He’s also not fully developed; worms like him live in large colonies where they all work to protect the egg clutches and stores of corpses kept preserved for the new worms to live in. However, he was separated from his family in 1700s Britain during one of the Jacobite wars (I can’t remember if I ever specified exactly) and began wandering trying to find them.

Instead he found his first partner, Justin, (who belongs to my partner) who later died, and Renfield switched his old corpse out for his boyfriend’s in an attempt to save him. It didn’t work.

Eventually he stowed away across the Atlantic and ended up in Boston in the 1800s, where he met Jordan. They entered a relationship and, when Jordan left their home, the two headed west.

Ren is very animated, and is mostly gentle, he loves petting soft animals, playing in the dirt, and basking. Another worm has referred to him as a ‘lamb with fangs’, as the gentle aspects of his personality contrast the part where he needs to hunt to survive, and is very good at killing.

He tries to befriend people, but humans interacting with him have their fight or flight response triggered because of the way he moves is just outside of normal for the human brain. Inhumans (the term for supernatural creatures) don’t have this problem.

Also! He just didn't have a name for a while, either he wasn't given one or he forgot it, but he just didn't have a name for a while (he probably went by pseudonyms). Then Jordan read Dracula to him and he latched onto the name Renfield. (as an in-universe reason why he's named that when in reality i named him that as a joke)

[maraschinotopped]

and heres the rest of the bug fable oc gang!!!!! all on ms paint.. all made during my gl tests... hfdfshgchgdgh

left to right, up to down: Retani, Hyme, Citrus, Thulial, Fruss, Ochre

ramblings about the ocs here all under the cut bc for once im not hiding them in the tags fgdjhcghdfj- its.. pretty long tho.

ive talked a tiny bit about all of them except ochre here on the blog before but now.. you get in depth ramblings of them all!!!!! ahahaha >:)

Retani and Fruss are in a 'team' called Sharp-Eyes, except they're not actually official explorers yet. Fruss just decided "oh we're a team now! :)" and Ret didnt object to it. hfhjhdjfhgdf

Retani can glide! lore says only bees and wasps can fly? i do not see it /j. anyways the in-universe explanation ive cooked up is that shes from a family of moths who kept that flying ability, but it weakened overtime, so now she can only glide. shes got strong ass legs though so she can leap into the air a bit. she mainly uses this gliding ability to scare off other bugs in the lost sands, as she has eye patterns on the insides of her wings. when she leaps up, the eyes are illuminated and it usually turns on a bugs flight or fight mechanism. or stuns them for a few seconds. enough to either chase them off or get a head start in the battle.

she has a pet millipede which was a failed roach experiment. they were testing out how they could make powers, and ended up sticking some crystals into a lesser bug. it 'didnt work', so they released it back into the wild and Ret ended up finding it. i say didnt work in quotation marks bc the real reason they didnt manifest is bc the bug was terrified and didnt use the power. the only power the millipede really gained was flight, so they just kinda hover around. now they work together :)

her name is me mashing the word retina slightly, bc y'know. the eyespots. eyes. yeah.

Hyme is also a roach experiment, and was their most successful attempt at recreating a bug (orchid mantis) from before the awakening. was the reason that particular roach lab got trashed :) shes a bit sassy, and is kind hearted, but wont hesitate to beat the shit out of bugs who have hurt her or the bugs she cares about. she's sorta-friends with the cat-spider experiment oc i have since they were created in the same roach lab and helped each other escape, though they parted ways shortly after. yes i made a cat oc in a game where the whole population is bugs. yes i am going to get a cat oc into every fandom that i join, no matter how out of universe it is to have one in that setting.

her name is a shortening of the scientific name of the orchid mantis (Hymenopus coronatus).

Citrus is a bombus citrinus, and i got inspiration for him bc i wanted to make a bee oc, but didnt want it to be an exact copy of vi. so i googled bee species and one of the first species i saw was his. and apparently those types of bees go into different hives and take them over by force. so i got ~inspired~. djfchjggfdd. his backstory is that he came from a hive of bombus citrinus, and had made friends with a bee from a diff hive. they hung out for a while, but eventually, due to them being kind of close together, the citrinus hive ended up attacking and taking over the friends hive. the friend, thinking that citrus had something to do with this, was like "dude what the fuck????". citrus didnt have anything to do with it, but couldnt say it clearly. the two broke off, and citrus ended up running away from the merged hive shortly after.

his name is pretty self explanatory in origin dhcjhgd (bombus citrinus. citrus. y'know.)

Thulial is a rosy maple moth! i designed her before picking her species dhfdjchjdgsjcddgf. shes really, really fluffy. floof to the max. shes a kind soul who sews a lot. i love her. <3 i imagine that her wings drape over her like a cape...

her name is me mashing the words thulian and coral together hfdjhcfd

Fruss was a wasp scout under the wasp kings rule!! she at first was under whatever mind controlling thing hoaxe was doing but after she got attacked by a rather feral lesser bug (giving her a face scar and her broken leg) she was basically snapped out of it. shes pretty good at following orders, though, so she was undetected by hoaxe. after hearing about the bug rangers from jayde, fruss decided that she would escape and become an explorer. except she has a total of 5 and 1/2 braincells so Retani ended finding her in the lost sands dying of dehydration because she didnt prepare well enough for the journey fhdjsfhdcgf. she flies 99% of the time bc her leg broke from the lesser bug attack and it healed wrong.. so she cant put too much pressure on it (via walking). her wings are very strong bc of this and shes very experienced on fighting in the air. fast girl :)

fruss's name is me mashing the word fructose slightly. bc wasps apparently eat sugar to survive. i didnt actually know that before :eyes: also i chose fructose bc i think she would probably like fruit a lot as a snack <3

and the last one is Ochre!!! a beetle. i dont quite have much for him personality wise rn but i imagine that he came from the same kingdom as kabbu, as a very skilled fighter. they ended up wanting to move to bugaria so they could settle down for a bit. on the journey, he ended up finding a (rather intact) cat corpse. they dont know what a cat is, of course, so they cut off a bit of its fur as a sort of 'trophy', and also because he wanted to figure out what the hell this huge thing was. they could probably ask what it was when they got to bugaria. when he was going around the corpse, he ended up looking at the face of the cat and seeing it was directly looking at him. this, of course, was terrifying for him. because he thought this thing was dead. he quickly got out of there afterwards and the rest of the trip to bugaria went without a hitch. though, the experience still haunts them. they wear the fur they collected around their neck as a sort of 'fur collar' (like a moth). technically, the cat was actually dead, and the eyes looking directly at him were a (un)lucky coincidence, but he doesnt know that! shhh :)

his name comes from the color of the same name.. and also bc his colorpallet in my head is much like a sunset with warm oranges and yellows.

that is all! i do have some more stuff to add onto some of the chars but this is already way too long so!!!!!!!! fhcdgjdchggfd
