Name: hi, i am nyx Age: 20 years old Writing Blog URL(s): jungcity.tumblr.com | v-asl.tumblr.com
Nationality: filipino Languages: english, filipino Star Sign: pisces! MBTI: infp-t Favorite color: white accentuated by silver Favorite food: it’s sweet and spicy chicken garlic!! Favorite movie: hmmm, it’s prolly flipped because that movie was so cute :,) Favorite ice cream flavor: rocky road!! Favorite animal: it’s gonna be cats!! although i love lions so much because of narnia :,( Coffee or tea? What are you ordering? coffee :,) Go-to karaoke song: i don’t sing agskh the world would end if i would
What has been one of the biggest factors of your success (of any size)? i think it’s me writing about jaehyun??? since he’s the king of fanfiction, especially in ncity nowadays.
What fandom(s) do you write for? nct + wayv
When did you post your first piece? three days ago!! that would be august 4 i guess???
Do you write fluff/angst/crack/general/smut, combo, etc? Why? i don’t really much write fluff since i don’t have any idea how to write a good fluff!! :( this has been an issue every time i write some au’s. so im always ending up writing and focusing more on angst. it’s the genre i know best. well, crack… it’s hard to make the readers laugh when you can’t even make their tooth ache from sweetness with your fluffy writings. :( smut… i don’t write smut explicitly any more. i’m more on the suggestive side rn.
Do you write OCs, X Readers, Ships...etc i write OC’s especially when im writing a series!! to diversify my writing. but i usually am on the x reader side. ships? not that much.
Why did you decide to write for Tumblr? uhm, back in 2017, i was searching for some website where i could publish my works. ive always been a tumblr-girl since i am that wanna-be-aesthetic kinda person :D then i had found that i could write and publish on tumblr so yeah that’s pretty much why i am on this app rn
What inspires you to write? ooh, music has been a great help for sure!! whenever i don’t feel like writing something, i always listen to music and the idea would flow like a river. classic poems helps, too. :)
What genres/AUs do you enjoy writing the most? supernatural!au’s, fantasy!au, medieval!au. i feel like it’s easier to write something out of pure fantasy. i have a hard time writing modern!au’s since i lack the humor and the knowledge for modern slangs.
What do you hope your readers take away from your work? ooh, i always always always am careful with the way that i craft all my works. i try to feel what my characters feel to give them a certain validation. i put my shoes on the scenarios i have in mind even though i haven’t yet experienced everything ive written. and i do love writing strong female characters, whether it’s oc’s or female readers. that’s my main priority whenever i write. and i want them to know that girls could do just as much everything boys could. women are powerful.
What do you do when you hit a rough spot creatively? i read a lot to get back on my foot. i also try to re-read my past works so i’d be inspired to better my writing on my current draft.
What is your favorite work and why? Your most successful? my favorite work is the one i’m still writing rn, which is entitled 505. it’s a hendery fic in which he is a bandit and the female reader is a sacristan. it’s my fave since i relate myself so much to the female reader. :) my most successful one is the childhood best friends!au taeyong x female reader. it’s about to reach 600+ notes i guess? and im so grateful of all the feedbacks i got from it.
Who is your favorite person to write about? it’s jaehyun and hendery :)
Do you think there’s a difference between writing fanfiction vs. completely original prose? character wise, perhaps. since you already have a face value in fanfiction, but in an original prose, you would have to craft everything from 0.
What do you think makes a good story? a good story is something that doesn’t romanticize the bad things going on in the world. a good story is something that is emphatic to the hardships of others. a good story is something that gives comfort to those who are in the dark. a good story is something that boosts the hearts of the readers and makes them feel things!!
What is your writing process like? first, i think of a plot! (this happens oftentimes when im washing the dishes) when i have the plot, i think of the ending. when i have the ending, it’s time for me to device a fitting title. and the plot would develop from then on.
Would you ever repurpose a fic into a completely original story? i don’t think so… this is scary. since some people think of fanfics as delusional works from delusional authors. it’s kinda sad.
What tropes do you love, and what tropes can’t you stand? i love love love enemies-to-lovers trope!! one that i couldn’t stand and do my best to not read is probably… hmm… no, i love all tropes!! i just love e-t-l most!
How much would you say audience feedback/engagement means to you? it means a ton. since it could really boosts me up. heavy sigh. it’s the best thing when you write something— the feedbacks. even though it’s a simple reblog with the ‘#ATKSHSKSHSKAHAKSGAHGEGSJA’ or ‘#myfave’. i would smile like an idiot whenever i read it.
Dream job (whether you have a job or not)? i want to be a successful writer someday!
If you could have one superpower, what would you choose? teleportation!!
If you could visit a historical era, which would you choose? ancient greek + victorian era
If you could restart your life, knowing what you do now, would you? yes!! im so hell deep in indecision right now so i want to restart to make everything right
Would you rather fight 100 chicken-sized horses or one horse-sized chicken? 100 chicken-sized horses!!
If you were a trope in a teen high school movie, what would you have been? enemies-to-lovers trope agsksj LOL
Do you believe in aliens/supernatural creatures? YES!!! perhaps they are lurking somewhere here on earth and we don’t know it yet ;)
Fun fact about yourself that not everyone would know? oh… i don’t really know what to write. i don’t give much attention to my personal details agsksj
Do you think fanfic writers get unfairly judged? yes!! ugh, there’s this recent issue wherein stan twt called fanfic writers as freaks. and it broke my heart. i mean, most fanfic writers get inspirations from their idols and that shouldn’t be a bad thing. we aren’t delusionals as one might think. we are simply doing our craft.
Do you think art can be a medium for change? yes!! our country’s hero ‘jose rizal’ had somehow stirred the nationality of the people back in the old days because of his writings. i do believe that art changes things!! it has the ability to pierce the heart of the people.
Do you ever feel there are times when you’re writing for others, rather than yourself? yes. i feel this whenever im writing smut. i mean, let’s be real, your works would do better once you’ve included some steamy smut scenes in it. when i was writing my first fanfic after three years, i didn’t think that i’d ever include smut. but the fear of not getting feedbacks crept up in me, so i forced myself to write some sexy scenes. i know that’s like… weird. but i’m trying not to dwell on feedbacks any longer. and i also have decided not to write explicit smut anymore. honestly, i feel better now that i don’t force myself to do something that i think would please others rather than me.
Do you ever feel like people have misunderstood you or your writing at times? uhm, as far as i can remember, nope— still hasn’t felt that way. :)
Do your offline friends/loved ones know you write for Tumblr? yes!! my best friends irl knows about it. my sister knows. my parents are also aware of my passion in writing, and they do know that i write. but where and what, that remains obscured from them :D
What is one thing you wish you could tell your followers? that it’s okay to be vulnerable. it’s okay to make mistakes. it’s okay to fail sometimes. it’s okay to feel things. because like a good book, there is always a character development and you have the pen to write your own version of happy endings.
Do you have any advice for aspiring writers who might be too scared to put themselves out there? i’ve been there: the scared and conscious part. but one thing i would say is, you have to dare yourself!! you won’t know how your writing would have impacted so many lives and touch the hearts of people if you won’t grab your pen or your gadget and start your draft.
Are there any times when you regret joining Tumblr? nope, there aren’t. the community has been lovely to me ever since i started writing. :,)
Do you have any mutuals who have been particularly formative/supportive in your Tumblr journey? yes!! oh my god. i’d like to take this opportunity to thank my mutuals who’s done me nothing but kindness— @legendnct (hannah), whoo!! you know how much i love you, right? thank you for always being there to listen to me. :) @cloudysuh des, since day one you’ve supported me. i couldn’t ask for more. thank you for the never-ending praises, keyboard smashes, for the tags, and for always boosting me up. @bohoes georgie, you know i love you. since 2017 you’ve been with me— praising my works and supporting me. thank you. @cherr-e cherry!! thank you!! for teaching me how to better my writing. i hope endless happiness for u and please take care. @writermoon hello my babe!! thank you so much for reading my works with such vivid imaginations. i love you. @jaeyongf amy!! the bestest person :,) thank you for always leaving me feedbacks!! thank you for being kind to me. thank you for always supporting me. i love you guys so much and let’s be mutuals for a long time!!
Pick a quote to end your interview with:
“If the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.” — Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë

Two Worlds Apart Part 1/?
Main Characters: OC Kamiko Kaori + Shoto Todoroki
Fandoms: Sailor Moon and Boku No Hero
Chapter Rated: SFW
My name is Kamiko Kaori, and I’m from Crystal Tokyo in the 30th Century! Or at least I was. I guess I should tell you I’m also Sailor Star Galaxy, the last generation in the Sailor Soldiers. I possess all the powers of the Other Sailor scouts, and was trained to be a last line of defense and to step in should any of the other scouts fall. During a fight with our latest enemy, the return of the Negaverse, a tear in space was ripped open. Sailor Pluto and I attempted to seal it up, but not before I was sucked in. That’s when I woke up in this archaic world, where almost everyone possessed some type of power. Or “Quirk” as they called it. But that was almost eight months ago. I thought Neo Queen Serenity would have come for me by now. But it seems that this new world was now my reality. And that brings us here! Standing at the gates of the esteemed U.A High School, wondering what I was possibly doing there.
“Hey Kamiko! You made it!” called Yaoyorozu, or as Kamiko knew her as, Momo. She ran towards Kamiko, two other girls at her side. Yaoyorozu had come across Kamiko within her first few days in the strange land. Hungry, beaten, and scared, Yaoyorozu showed pity on the girl and took her home. As she nursed Kamiko to health the two soon became friends. Eventually, Kamiko told Yaoyorozu her story, being Sailor Star, and how she ended up there. In return, Yaoyorozu taught her about their world of heroes and quirks. She was the only person Kamiko trusted. A few weeks ago, she convinced Kamiko to return to school, specifically…to apply to UA.
“Hey Momo.” Kamiko smiled at her. “Are these your friends?”
“Yes! Guys, this is that girl I told you about. Kaori Kamiko, Meet Uraraka and Ashido .” Momo introduces them.
“Is it true you’re an alien!?” the pink girl pushed forward, a little too close for comfort.
“Ashido!” Yaoyorozu scolds her. “I swear not everyone knows. Just Ashido, Uruaka and Jiro.”
Kamiko dismissed it with a wave of her hand.
“It’s okay. To be fair, the word Alien is relative. From my point of view, you guys are the aliens.” She joked with a smile. She used a hand to push a wisp of violet hair out of her face. "But I suppose I am. I’d rather not talk about it right now though. I have to stay focused for the entrance exam.”
“Right! Well come on! We’ll take you!” Uraraka smiled, grabbing Kamiko and dragging her through the campus. “It’s so rare that UA will make an exception and do an entrance exam mid-semester. You must have a crazy strong quirk!”
“Well uhm...something like that.” Kamiko stammered out, feeling her cheeks heat up. It was so weird going from a world where powers had hidden identities to a world where almost everyone had them. Even displayed them.
“Hey look!” Ashido pointed up at the building. “That’s Principal Nezu, All Might, Mr. Aizawa, Mr. Yamada, and Ms. Kayama. They must be waiting for you.”
“Huh? And that’s our homeroom class. I wonder why they are here.” Yaoyorozu stated curiously.
“Ah, Kamiko Kaori! Thank you for joining us this morning.” The …well…mouse spoke to her. I really needed to stop being so surprised at this point. She thought to herself. "Please bear with us, the arena is finishing being prepped. It is so rare an occasion we do exams like this in the middle of a semester; we needed to adjust a few things.”
“It’s I who should be thanking you.” Kamiko and bowed respectfully. “I am so grateful this opportunity Principal Nezu.”
The teacher who looked like he pulled one too many all-nighters stepped up. If Ashido named them in order, this should be-
“My name is Aizawa. This is my homeroom. They will be participating in the arena with you to keep things semi-fair like the normal exam. However, keep in mind each of the students here have not only passed the exam, but already have hero training. But seeing as this is an exceptional case, this shouldn’t be a problem.” He spoke in a monotone, bored voice. He turned to the group of students. “I doubt I need to say this but it’s in your best interest to try in this. This will be treated as pop quiz. Turn your attention to Present Mic and he will explain the rules.”
The next teacher to speak was the exact opposite of Aizawa.
“Alright Listeners, this may be a repeat for some of you but it’s a remix!” he spoke energetically, causing Kamiko to cringe. “Three different types of faux villains are stationed in each battle center. You earn points for each of them based on their level of difficulty. Your goal is to use your Quirks to earn points by immobilizing the faux villains. BUT THIS TIME, attacking other examinees is ALLOWED. Why? WELL because the zero-point villains that are normally robots will be some of your classmates. That’s right folks, some of your peers have been briefed beforehand and will be sabotaging the others as double agents!” he spoke with such enthusiasm even at the last part.
Kamiko’s violet eyes scanned the class for a clue on who may have been against her, but everyone looked equally shocked. She made contact with a boy with red and white hair. One brown eye. One blue. He turned away from her almost instantly. Kamiko continued to watch him until Momo bumped her.
“Gawk later. Pay attentinon.” she whispered. Kamiko rolled her eyes, tuning back in.
“Now remember young heroes! Attacking does NOT mean injuring. Although we have Recovery Girl standing by, that doesn’t mean you go all out. Use your best judgment on when to pull back.” All Might instructed. “Anyone caught using excessive force WILL fail.”
“This should be fun! I didn’t have to take the last exams.” Yaoyorozu whispered to her. “It’s cool to see what it was like.”
“I, uh, just have one question.” Kamiko spoke, a raising a hand.
“Yes Miss Kaori?” All Might answered her.
“I’m sure you’re aware, my “quirk” works differently, should I transform now or once the test has begun?” she asked, not wanting to break rules. This gains some looks from the other students, and she quietly cursed herself for drawing attention.
“Once the test has begun. After all, you can’t always prepare ahead in a real battle.” Principal Nezu smiled giddily. She nodded clutching the broach on her chest. It was similar to Sailor Moon’s and held a piece of the silver crystal handed down to her. “We shall all go to the observation room then. Good luck Miss Kaori. You as well my students!” With that All Might scooped up the teachers with a hearty laugh, and bounded into the air.
“Is he always like that?” she asked with an amused smile. But before anyone could answer, the doors to the exam slammed open. Everyone ran in, Kamiko at the back of the pack. She was going to need a boost. She ran towards the side of the tunnel using the wall to jump over the other students. “COSMIC PLANET POWER!” she yelled out mid-air, and began to transform into her sailor form.
Her violet hair released from its bun and flowed down her back as purple glowing ribbons wrapped around her body. She landed on the other side of the crowd, looking over her shoulder at them in her purple, black and white senshi outfit. They all were staring at her surprised, except for Momo who had seen her transform before. “Well? Are you all just going to stand there?” she smirked.
“She’s right!” an overly excited boy saluted, the engines in his legs boosting him towards the robots. “Sorry Ma’am, but this is competition! And Class 1A does not lose!” At that rate he was going to get to those bots before she could.
“Jupiter Thunder….” Kamiko yelled, crossing her hands like the former sailor had taught her. An antenna rose from her tiara. “CRASH!”
“Iida jump!” Yaoyorozu warned her classmate. He did as he was told, just narrowly avoiding her thunder blast at the robots.
“Whoa! A thunder quirk!” A boy with spiky green hair gasps.
She smiled to herself, watching as the robots twitched and fell.
“We’ve got to slow her down!” He moved toward her with incredible speed, a green light shooting around his body. Kamiko jumped back, just barely dodging his hand grabbing at her. Another hand grabbed her shoulder. It was rock hard, but still she managed to flip them onto to the ground, a blur of red hair catching her eye as she slammed them.
“Sorry!” she winced before running off.
I need to get away from the group as fast as possible. She thought looking for a solution. High ground would be best so I can survey what I’m up against. She spots a building with an overhang and ran towards it.
“Venus Love Me Chain!” she yelled and the heart shape golden chain latched on to the edge. Kamiko jumped into the air, the chain pulling her higher, kicking a few more robots down as she went.
“OH NO YOU DON’T!” A yell came from behind her. A blonde boy with spiky hair was using blasts from his hands to chase after her. The look of anger on his face was terrifying. “I WON’T LOSE TO YOU!”
She removed her broach and willed it into Pluto’s staff. It quickly took the form and she aimed it at the boy. “Deadly Scream!” the sonic blast hits him and the neighboring robots, sending them all back towards the ground, a slew of profanities leaving his mouth. “Nothing personal!” Kamiko yelled back just as she reached the top of the building.
Everyone seems to be either fighting amongst themselves or the other robots. Kamiko looked down trying to think which attack would only harm the robots, when a wall of ice suddenly hurtled towards her, knocking out tons of robots simultaneously. She went to avoid it but was too slow. The ice began to encase her, grounding her feet in place. She pressed her hands together. “Mars Fire Ignite!” The fire shot out and circled her, melting the frosty cage in the process. On the outside of the wall, the boy with the half white, half red hair looked at her with that same stoic face from earlier. Did that attack come from him?
“So, you have a fire quirk as well.” He said coolly. Stating the obvious much?
“It will take more than a measly snow globe to keep me down.” She huffed twirling the staff in her hand. He didn’t answer her, instead examining her, most likely thinking of what move to do next. He shot another ice blast, but it avoided her, instead taking out the robots on her flank. She looked at him curiously. That attack was too precise to have been an accident. If he was a double, why would he help her?
“Thank you.” She said softly. He still didn’t answer, instead running at her, an icy chill escaping from his lips. He began shoot ice blast after blast at her. Or Not. She thought breaking the attacks with her staff. What was with this guy? She moved to evade him and he formed another ice wall to block her path. That’s when she put it together. He was making her waste time on him. Bastard can’t block what he can’t see. “Mercy Bubbles Blast!” she yelled, making a thick mist. She danced around him making noise with her staff to confuse him on her location. But he was smarter, fire blasts began to shoot out, not only shocking her, but causing her mist to thin out. “Venus love me chain!” She shot the chain in the direction the flames came from, trapping his body. Or what she thought was his body. When she pulled, the chain tightened but didn’t budge. Even if he was stronger, she should have felt a little tug. The mist continued to thin out and she saw she had actually wrapped around a pole. Shit. “Mirror.” she said softly, planning to use Neptune’s Mirror to see where he was hiding. But as the staff morphed, a warm hand grabbed her, pushing her against the pole.
The cold sharp point of an icicle was pointed at her neck. “You put up quite a fight.” His icy breath whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her. “but you’re done now.” Anger radiated through her body. How could she fall for such a ploy?
“You’re the one who’s done.” She spoke through gritted teeth. She slowly angled the mirror until she saw his reflection in it. “Submarine..Reflection.”
The mirror shot out a bright blast, forcing him back and onto the ground. “Mars Flame Sniper!” she said and her fire took the shape of a bow and arrow. She shot Four hours into his shirt, pinning him, even if it’s for a moment. “Stay down, please.” the violet haired girl begged. “ I need this.”
To her surprise, he laid his head back, not resisting. Kaori ran to the edge of the building, looking down at the other students fighting the robots. She aimed her bow, and began to shoot the flaming arrows at as many robots as she could manage. Then a loud buzzer rang through her ears.
“TIMES UP!” Present Mic’s voice boomed through the air. She disarmed her bow, the fire disappearing in thin air, as well as the arrows pining the boy. Was that last attack enough to make up for lost time?
The sound of ice crinkling caught her attention as a large ice slide formed down the building. Her opponent stood at the edge and then slid down to the bottom. Kamiko rewrapped her chain around the pole and jumped off the building. Once at the bottom, she detransformed to her normal clothes and the broach returned to its place on her chest. Quick hands began to return her hair into it’s messy bun. She made eye contact with Uraraka who quickly ran over to her. “Kaori, that was incredible! “She smiled, hugging Kamiko tightly. “I had no idea you were that powerful.”
“You even held your own against Todoroki! And he’s our strongest classmate!” Ashido appeared giddily.
“HE IS NOT!” The voice of the angry blonde boy from earlier boomed. He pushed through the crowd toward her, and she had half the mind to turn back into Sailor Star Galaxy. “You may be strong, but you’re not stronger than me GOT IT?! Neither is Icy Hot! I will Destroy-“
His voice cut off as a red headed boy clamped a literal, rock hard hand across his mouth.
“Sorry about Bakugo. Just ignore him, it’s what most of us do.” he smiled at her as he held the other boy back. “I’m Kiroshima! And you were seriously awesome! I didn’t see that flip coming!”
“Oh that was you?” Kamiko remembered the person she had slammed earlier, and put two and two together. “I really am sorry! Are you alright?”
“No worries! My quirk is hardening. Takes a lot more than a few body slams to hurt me.” Kiroshima chuckled. “Speaking of, you have some major quirks yourself. How many do you have?”
“I counted six! Thunder, Chain, Fire, Bubbles, Sonic Waves and that transformation in the beginning! ” the green hair boy from earlier ran up. “Do your quirks only work after that? It must be why you asked principle Nezu. And is that staff thing apart of you? How did you get so many quirks?” he shot question after question; Kamiko barely able to keep up. Her back pressed against the stone wall of the building behind her as the rest of the students gathered around her, eager for answers.
“I..well..” she said softly, not used to so much attention at once. Just as it was becoming too much, an ice wall thin enough to see through separated her from the rest of the group. She turned her head and at the end stood Todoroki.
“, Enough.” he said in a monotone voice. They locked eyes for a moment. “Let her breathe.”
“Oh… Sorry Kaori.” Midoriya apologized and the boy let the wall down once everyone took a step back.
“It’s okay. I’m just not used to so much attention.” Kamiko gave a sympathetic smile to him. She looked over at Todoroki, but he was already walking away from them. Her lips curved into a frown.
“Amazing Job Students!!” All Might’s voice bellowed, as he and the other teachers came from seemingly nowhere.
Aizawa sighed getting in front of All Might. “As I’m sure you all figured out, Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki, and Kiroshima were all on the double agent roster. They were all able to secure multiple sabotages while continuing to attack robots. From lowest to highest, Kiroshima, Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki.”
“DAMN YOU DEKU!! ” Bakugo screamed, as Kiroshima sighed next to him, placing another solid hand on the boy’s mouth. Kao Midoriya ri assumed it was a common occurrence as Aizawa ignored the boy.
“Additionally, everyone can see their scores in the post outside. However, I will announce the top three scores for our non-double agents. In third place, with 30 points, was Tanya Iida.” The boy with rockets in his legs smiled, but there was a small hint of sadness in it. At least your scores don’t depend if you get to stay Kamiko thought nervously. Aizawa continued. “In second place, Momo Yaoyorozu with 32 points. And lastly-“Aizawa was cut off by the excitement of All Might.
“KAMIKO KAORI!! 40 points!” He bellowed.
“First place…that means…. that means she got in right?!” Momo asked excitedly. All might opened his mouth but was shushed by Aizawa.
“Yes, against better council, she technically did.” Aizawa spoke harshly. “But I want to make it clear it is on a probationary basis. Any screw ups and you’re out. And to ensure a decent eye is kept on you, you’ll be in my homeroom. Look around you. These are your new classmates.”
“But sir! She’s a first year. She would have to pass her hero’s examination, receive her probationary license, midterms, finals. I understand she’s powerful but UA’s standards-”
“For reasons I’ll leave up to her to discuss with you all, she’s been considered a special case by the principal. The decision has been made, regardless of any disagreements.” Aizawa shut him up. Kamiko flinched at the harsh tone in the man’s voice. His words said one thing, but his tone implied he agreed with Iida. “Yaoyorozu, you’re excused for the remainder of the day. Help Kaori get situated in her dorm, in her uniform, the works. You’re all dismissed.”

All I Ask of You Pt. 39
“Is this how I die? Frightened like a child, lazy and numb” - “Dust and Ashes” from Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812
Pairing: Peter Paker x Female OC
Word Count: 4.6k
Summary: Well, it’s infinity war time lol
Warnings: Sads, major character(s) death (it’s infinity war what do you expect)
A/N: Here we are, the last full chapter of the fic! It’s really sad, I cried writing it, but I hope y’all enjoy this. It’s been an insane ride. As always, you can get the full masterlist in my bio!
It was another normal morning. Well, not quite normal since there was a field trip, but it wasn’t like anything crazy was going to happen. Annie was sharing a seat on the bus with Peter, and she was using him as a pillow while she took a nap. The night before had been completely revolutionary. Only because she finally figured out what her audition song was going to be, but that took hours of work. She wasn’t even sure if she was going to patrol that night or not. Maybe she would, if only because Peter would be there.
Right when she was comfortable, however, Peter shifted and caused Annie to knock her head into his collarbone.
“Jesus Christ! What the hell was-” she stopped herself.
Outside the window, there was a huge doughnut-shaped spaceship in the distance. At least, Annie assumed it was a spaceship. Somehow, no one else seemed to notice it. She looked at Peter and she already knew exactly what he was planning on doing. There was that look of determination in his eyes that he only seemed to get whenever there was something that was clearly dangerous happening.
Annie leaned over and whispered, “I’m coming too.”
“What?! No way.”
“Yes way, we’re a team, remember?” she pointed out, “You don’t just get to pick and choose that.”
Peter sighed before nodding, “Fine, you’re right.”
He then turned behind him to get Ned to cause a distraction. Annie made a mental note to get a hold of Harper in case they hadn’t seen. How no one else was seeing this amazed her. Still, she shook the thought away and made a mental plan of how to get out of the bus without anyone seeing.
“We’re all gonna die!” Ned shouted.
Right as everyone rushed over to the side they were sitting on, Annie pulled Peter over to the other side, and he shot a web to get them out of the bus through the open window in the back. It would have been so easy to catch both of them, but if no one say the spaceship then she guessed it didn’t make much of a difference.
Before she knew it, they were in their suits and headed straight for the spaceship. Even though everything inside of her was screaming to just stay there. She ignored the thought, there was no way she was letting Peter just go by himself if she had any say in it. And she did.
As she followed him, gliding, she sighed, “Hey, Eve, can you do me a solid?”
“Of course, what is it?”
“Can you call Harper real fast?”
“Yes, dialing ‘my idiot best friend’.”
Annie kept going as she heard the dial tone before there was a click, “Dude are you seeing this?!”
“That’s what I was calling you about. I’m headed right there,” Annie said.
Harper sighed, “I figured… just, be careful, okay? Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be smart about it. I’m good with this type of stuff, and I’ll look great while doing it.”
“Whatever you say…” they trailed off.
Right then, a huge alien-looking thing almost hit her, “Okay, super sorry, Harper, but I gotta go there’s a big alien thing, love you, bye!”
Just like that, Annie was thrust into fighting some aliens that she knew nothing about. But they were giving her a lot of energy to work with, so she wasn’t complaining. She was just barely listening to what Peter and Tony were talking about, though she couldn’t remember when he showed up. Not that the fact he was there surprised her.
“Yeah, I want you kids to protect the wizard,” he said, gesturing to another alien that was a little bit away.
It caught Annie’s attention, “Wait, what wizard?”
“The one over there, don’t let them get the necklace,” Tony told her, “Good luck!”
Annie sighed, rushing over with Peter. When she got a second glance, she gasped. That was the wizard. The same guy who kind of saved her life. She would have to ask about everything later, there wasn’t any time to focus on anything but what they were supposed to do.
Peter shot a web at the wizard, and Annie used an energy barrier to keep him where he was. However, whatever the alien was using seemed to add more energy at a faster rate than she could take. They were losing ground, literally. Annie felt herself being lifted up off the ground. If Peter wasn’t going to let go then that meant they were headed straight for the spaceship.
“Peter, what do I do?!” Annie yelled, feeling her heart rate pick up and her hands grow shaky the further up she was lifted without anything below her.
He quickly grabbed her hand, giving her just a bit more confidence, “Hey, Mr. Stark, we’re getting beamed up.”
“Seriously? You make a Star Trek reference now?” Annie asked, rolling her eyes.
If nothing else, it managed to keep her from freaking out. Although, she was beginning to realize that she couldn’t breathe as well. Almost as soon as there was a piece of the ship for her to hold onto, the air seemed to get thinner. She couldn’t quite hear what Peter and Tony were talking about. But there was energy. Maybe it wouldn’t work but it was worth a shot. She created a barrier of energy around her face. It wasn’t the best way to breathe, but it gave her something.
That was when she looked up at Peter, “Did you get a costume change or something?”
“Um… you could say that. Come on, um… let’s get back,” he said, looking like he was about to drop off.
Annie looked at him, “Cut the crap, Peter, you just don’t want me going up to space with you. I get it. But I’m a big girl, and I can handle this.”
“Ann, we gotta go back.”
“You’re not gonna leave him here. I know that. Besides, I have a few words for that wizard dude. He has a ton of explaining to do.”
Once it was obvious that he wasn’t going to lose Annie any time soon, Peter started to look for a different entrance into the ship. Annie was more focused on keeping her energy barrier intact. If she lost concentration, she’d probably die. After a few moments, Peter found a way in, sneaking Annie inside as well.
It was about what she would have expected for an alien spaceship. She looked around, but it seemed like Peter was losing his mind over the tech. If the situation didn’t feel like it was going to affect the fate of the world, she probably would have let him look around a bit more.
“Come on, we gotta find them,” she whispered, pulling him further into the ship.
Peter frowned, “Why are we whispering.”
“In case there’s any more aliens. Stay on guard,” she told him, making sure that she could feel the energy and electricity coursing through the ship.
First, Annie saw the wizard and the alien. It looked like the wizard was being tortured, and it wasn’t looking too good. She didn’t know what was in the necklace, but she could see it was glowing. Quickly, she pulled Peter down with her so they wouldn’t be seen by the alien. That was when she heard it.
“...loyal piece of clothing,” Tony mumbled.
Peter jumped down, “Speaking of loyal-”
“What’re you doing is… Annie too?”
Annie sighed, hopping down, using the energy to make her land quietly, “Yeah.”
Tony looked between the both of them. The last time she saw him look at them with such irritation and moderate anger was after they nearly blew up the lab back at Lake Tahoe. Maybe they should have gone back to Earth.
“H-hey, I can explain,” Peter stammered, his eyes darting from Annie to Tony.
Tony looked at Peter, “Really? Do either of you realize what this is? You guys aren’t just going on a field trip to space. This is a one-way ticket-”
“Yeah, yeah I-I get that, but… the drop was too far down to really take Annie with me properly, a-and then the suit ended up landing on the ship and she was still there. I-I mean, you were still here too and the suit’s pretty intuitive, Sir, a-and so I guess it’s kinda your fault I’m here,” Peter paused.
Annie covered her mouth to keep herself from laughing out of shock. Then she elbowed Peter. What in the world was that boy thinking?
“Um… not that it’s my fault but um-”
Tony glared at both of them, “There’s no way in hell you guys thought this through.”
“I did,” they both said in unison. Annie raised an eyebrow, but nodded at Peter to go first.
Peter sighed, “W-well, you can’t be a neighborhood friendly Spider-Man if there’s no neighborhood… okay, that didn’t really make sense, but you know what I meant.”
Tony rolled his eyes, “Okay, what’s your excuse.”
“There’s a few. One, did you really think I was gonna just let Peter stay in space and spend all my time worrying about him like an idiot? And two, I never really made up for everything… you know, Tina and Carnival were kinda my fault and I never really solved either of those problems,” she said, shrugging.
Tony sighed, “Okay, fine, look down there, that’s the wizard, what do you guys do?”
Right as Annie was about to suggest a plan, Peter cut in, “Have either of you guys seen this really old movie, Aliens?”
The plan he came up with was better than anything Annie had in mind and Tony seemed convinced, so that was what they went with. Annie was in her position. She had to be backup and make sure the alien was the only one who went through the hole. So far, the alien wasn’t facing them and the wizard didn’t even know they were there.
That was when Tony started speaking to the alien. Now that she thought about it, the guy kind of looked like Squidward, but that wasn’t important. What was important was paying attention to what was happening, but the alien was so full of himself.
“My powers are far more superior,” the alien said, stepping towards Tony.
Annie rolled her eyes before muttering under her breath, “Bet.”
“Maybe, but the kid’s seen more movies,” Tony responded.
That was the signal, and Annie jumped right into action, not even hearing the blast as she made the knives around the wizard move away. Then came the harder part, there was so much energy that it almost felt like her powers were on high alert. She moved to pull everyone back by reversing the energy. What she never bothered to consider was that she was just some teenager literally going up against the cold, dark void that was space.
Though, everything ended up being just fine, and Tony patched up the hole. So she went right up to the wizard.
“I need to talk to you,” she said, crossing her arms.
The wizard nodded slowly, “I don’t need to talk to you. Now, are we going back to Earth?”
“The ship’s on autopilot and headed straight for Titan,” Tony said, looking at the screens.
He shook his head, “We cannot take the time stone to Thanos. Not under any circumstances.”
That seemed to send Tony into a raving rage. He started to go on about how he was going to fight Thanos. As soon as he mentioned Thanos being in his head for years, Peter and Annie exchanged glances.
Annie frowned, “Did he ever-”
Peter shook his head.
“Now we’re stranded thousands of miles away from Earth with no backup!”
“Um… we’re backup,” Peter interjected.
Tony looked at the pair again, “No. You’re both stowaways.”
“Okay wait, who are they? Are they your wards or something?” asked the wizard.
“I’m Peter actually-”
“Doctor Strange.”
Peter gasped, “Oh, we’re using our made up names! I’m Spider-Man.”
“Um… I’m Annie, or White Swan. Whatever works.”
The wizard, or Dr. Strange, went right back to Tony, “Look, we can go to Thanos, but if it comes down to it being between you, the boy, the girl, or the time stone. I’m choosing the time stone.”
“Right, good to know that you have a moral compass,” he commented before going up to Annie and Peter to mockingly dub them, “Congrats, you’re both Avengers now.”
With that, they were all kind of left to their own devices. It was the perfect time to finally get some answers for questions that had been in Annie’s mind for months. This time, she didn’t hesitate to go right up to the man.
“So… what’s up, Doc?” Annie asked, taking off her mask so it hung around her neck.
Dr. Strange rolled his eyes, “Very original. What do you want?”
“Answers, lots of answers. And if you’re gonna choose a piece of jewelry over me, then this is the least you can do.”
He scoffed, “This is not a piece of jewelry, this is the time stone. One of the six infinity stones. It literally controls time as we know it.”
“Okay, okay, whatever, I have a question or two for that too then… but I’m starting from the top. Where were you when Carnival was in Seattle? Because I was facing off against him on my own. Do you get that? I was barely even fifteen at the time-”
“That was your choice.”
“Because I have powers! So answer the damn question, where were you?” she asked, frowning.
He shook his head, “I barely even knew what I was doing at that time. I’m not sure if I was even in charge of the Sanctum at the time.”
“Right… okay, and that time stone thingy… actually, I can answer this one myself,” Annie paused, starting to see if she could take any energy from the time stone.
At first, Annie felt fine and she could see that her hands were glowing green and it was starting to travel up her veins. Then it took more effort, but then she fell to the floor, feeling dizzy.
The man sighed, “It’s an infinity stone. No one can just sap all the energy out of one of those things. Though, you might be able to.”
“Well I’m not your average person,” Annie said, pushing herself to stand back up, “That kinda made me feel sick, though.”
He looked at her, “How badly do you want to save the universe?”
“Um… pretty badly. Kinda the only way I can make up for… never mind, you wouldn’t care about that. What’re you on about?”
“It’s possible that if you sapped out all the energy of the stones… Thanos wouldn’t be able to complete his goal. But it would almost definitely kill you, and that’s if it worked. It might not.”
Annie looked at him, “But I could save the universe… you, Stark, Peter, everyone back home, they’d be okay?”
“If he’s defeated, yes.”
She nodded slowly, “I’ll keep that in mind.”
Before she knew it, they were headed right towards a planet. Probably the place they were going to meet Thanos. She had no clue what the guy looked like, but she was pretty sure that she knew what she’d have to do. First, they needed to land without dying.
“You gonna help your… boyfriend?” Dr. Strange asked.
Annie shook her head, “Nah, he’s basically a genius. I’m just damage control.”
“Nah, as in he isn’t your boyfriend, or nah, as in you’re not helping.”
She laughed, “Nah as in I’m not helping. Peter’s freaking great. You might not wanna protect him, but I do.”
There wasn’t much more time for talking as they started to his a rocky landing. Annie put up a barrier to protect the four of them, and it seemed like Dr. Strange was right on the same page as her. If they all got through this, she’d probably ask him how he managed to do it.
“Hey, guys, for the record, um… I’m really sorry if an alien comes and puts her eggs in me,” Peter mumbled, hanging upside down.
Tony looked at Peter, “You, I don’t want another pop-culture reference out of you for the rest of the trip.”
“Um… what I’m trying to say is something’s coming.”
That was when a group of complete strangers flooded the scene. They were under attack, and Annie was quick to block a hulking, blue man. She pushed him back, and ran off. No one else seemed to have any powers like she did, so she wasn’t too worried for herself. But she took her eyes off of everyone else and she suddenly saw Peter had a gun to his head.
“I swear if you even think about shooting him, I’ll electrocute you until you’re fried to a damn crisp,” Annie growled.
Tony sighed, “If you shoot my guy, I’m gonna shoot your guy.”
“Go for it, I can take it,” said the blue man.
An alien who looked like a cross between a praying mantis and a lady cried out, “Don’t, he can’t take it!”
“You’re right, he can’t,” Dr. Strange agreed.
The man pointing the gun at Peter removed his mask, “Look, I’m only gonna ask you one question. Where is Gamora?”
Tony took off his mask, “I’ll do you one better. Who is Gamora?”
“I’ll do you one better! Why is Gamora?” the blue man asked.
Then the man started blabbering on about Thanos, and Annie was still watching carefully in case something happened.
“Wait, what master do you serve?” Dr. Strange asked.
The man scoffed, “What am I supposed to say, Jesus?”
“So he’s from Earth,” Tony remarked.
He sighed, “I’m from Missouri.”
“That’s on Earth, you dipshit.”
The man shook his head, “Wait, who are you guys?”
Peter took off his mask, “We’re the Avengers, man!”
With that, they all quickly realized they were on the same side. At least, they weren’t serving Thanos in any sort of way. So that meant they would be able to team up. Maybe she wouldn’t have to do anything that would potentially kill her.
They were standing around, and Tony was attempting to come up with a plan, and Annie was mentally making the note to do what Dr. Strange suggested. Well, he never suggested it, but all the same she never would have tried it if he hadn’t mentioned it.
“Is that guy really yawning?” Tony asked incredulously.
The man, who she learned was Quill gave a shrug, “They’re not used to making plans. We’re more of the winging it type.”
“We are not winging it with Thanos.”
Peter looked over at the other two, “What do those guys even do anyways?”
“Kick names, take ass,” the lady replied.
“There was the dance-off to save the universe,” the blue man added.
Peter furrowed his eyebrows, “Like in Footloose?”
“Exactly like in Footloose! Is it still the best movie ever made?” Quill asked.
“Um… it never was.”
Annie laughed, “Mamma Mia was, like, a gazillion times better.”
“The hell is Mamma Mia?”
She gasped, “It’s a jukebox musical, it’s got a ton of ABBA-”
“Wait, what?! That’s how much changed?”
“I guess so, anyways, you gotta listen to it and watch it, it’s a freaking masterpiece-”
“We’re not letting Flash Gordon get you wrapped up in musicals.”
The other alien lady looked over at Dr. Strange, “Does your friend do that often?”
Tony approached the wizard, and he sighed, “I was looking into all the alternative futures.”
“How many were there?”
“Fourteen million six-hundred-five.”
“How many did we win?’
“One.”
The word cut through Annie’s heart like a knife. There was only one shot, and it had to be the one where she sacrificed herself. That had to be the only way, she bit her lip in thought. She quickly held Peter’s hand. If she didn’t do this, then none of them were going to win. She had to do this.
Annie kept that in her mind as they went over the plan time and time again. Dr. Strange never spoke to her about the energies again, and she wondered if that meant she was just supposed to do this. And before she could really consider the weight of what she had to do, she was hiding behind wreckage with Peter.
“I love you, you know that, right?” Annie asked softly. Peter nodded, “Yeah, of course. I love you too. We’re gonna get through this, alright? I don’t know when we’ll get home, but we’ll get back in time for your audition next month for sure. We can take a few days off from all this. We could go see one of your musicals or something-”
She cut him off with a quick kiss when she heard another ship land, “That would be lovely,” she whispered.
It took everything she had in her to not let the tears stinging at her eyes fall. She couldn’t. Then he would know what she had in mind, and he’d try to stop her. But this was the only chance they had. He’d get over her, right? He had to.
She was lurched right into battle when she was the least prepared for it, and she attacked Thanos head on. Except, he wasn’t interested in her. That was fine by her, the less he noticed her the better. She wanted to make sure everyone stayed safe. Peter seemed to be having a great time until Thanos grabbed him by the neck and smashed him into the ground.
“That’s my boyfriend, you artificial grape-colored nut sack!” Annie screamed, letting out one of the largest bursts of energy she could manage.
Quill couldn’t help laughing, “You definitely lucked out. She’s a keeper.”
Annie then focused on the gauntlet. She didn’t want to just start off by killing herself. Not when there was the tiniest chance that it was unnecessary. Instead, she focused all the energy of the planet into that one gauntlet.
Things were starting to look decent enough. She could audition, and maybe, just maybe, she could even make it to her therapy appointment that was supposed to have been that day. Once the gauntlet was off, they could figure it all out from there.
Someone landed in a ship, but Annie wasn’t about to worry about who was there. She needed to focus on this, and they were starting to make a lot of headway on it.
The person who landed started asking around about Gamora. Annie really wondered just who in the world Gamora was. Probably someone important because as soon as the person who landed accused Thanos of murdering Gamora, Quill got a very specific look in his eyes.
“Hey, Quill, look, you need to keep your cool, come on, we’ve almost got this thing off,” Tony pleaded.
It wasn’t any use, Quill started to punch Thanos and yell at him. She looked at the man, shaking her head, there wasn’t anything she could do to stop him. So when Thanos was snapped out of his trance, they were all flung to the side. She noticed Peter caught the alien lady, and her energy broke her fall.
They were all together within minutes. Except for Dr. Strange and Tony. She knew what that meant and she felt tears stinging her eyes.
“Hey, I-I know this doesn’t look good, but it’ll be okay,” Peter told her, pulling her in for a hug.
Annie hugged him back tightly, “You’re right. It’ll be okay, you’ll be okay,” she paused for a few moments before kissing him, “I love you.”
“A-are you sure you’re okay?”
She nodded, “Yeah, I’m positive, and you’re gonna be okay. Just trust me.”
Then she pushed him back before rushing off. She kept everyone else back just to give her a head start. When she got to where the main battle had been. Tony had something stabbed into his chest. There was no way he was going to survive that, but she needed to do this. Peter still had his aunt and Ned and Harper and everyone else. So she fixed her eyes on the purple stone in Thanos’s gauntlet. She started to pull the energy, and she knew that Dr. Strange and Thanos were too busy talking to notice. It started off and she was okay. She actually felt a pretty big surge of power, but she could only take so much. It was starting to feel like she was going to throw up. Everything was starting to spin, and she didn’t feel quite right. She refused to let go. This was something she had to do, and if she didn’t then more people were going to be hurt.
Peter would forgive her for doing this, right? He would have to. Maybe someday he would understand.
Right as she started to feel herself black out, she was shoved down. She could barely move, but she could have sworn she saw Thanos standing over her.
“Clever, but not quite enough,” Thanos said, turning back to Dr. Strange.
She watched him with the time stone, and she couldn’t quite make out what Quill was doing. Thanos was done before anything else could happen.
“What the fuck?!” Annie exclaimed, “Y-you said that I could-”
“That wasn’t part of the plan,” Dr. Strange said, “I never said it would work for sure.”
“But that was the only shot we had!” she cried.
He shook his head, “You should stick with your boyfriend.”
Almost like he heard, Peter made it to her, “You… what did you do?”
“N-nothing you need to worry about.”
“You were gonna sacrifice yourself, weren’t you? Annie, you don’t have to kill yourself to make up for everything,” Peter snapped, his eyes filled with hurt.
Annie buried her face in her hands, “It was supposed to work. You would’ve been okay, everyone would’ve been okay.”
“We can still be okay, come here,” Peter held her in his arms, stroking her hair, “I never would’ve forgiven myself if you died like that.”
“Yes you would’ve, it’s what I wanted,” she said, burying her face in the crook of his neck.
He sighed, “I don’t know how I would’ve done it, though.”
“That’s not what matters. I know you, you’d be fine.”
Peter tilted her face up, “You really don’t realize just how important you are.”
“Obviously I do or I wouldn’t have… you know.”
He sighed, helping her up, “Let’s go see the others.”
“I’m still pissed at that Quill guy.”
Peter laughed dryly, “I’m sure you are.”
It was right as they started to get back that it happened. First it was the alien lady, then it was the blue man. Quill was next. Annie saw Dr. Strange fade away too.
That was when she literally felt energy slipping from her, “Peter!”
He turned to her with wide eyes. Annie was trying to keep herself together, literally. She was barely forcing herself to stay together.
“Hey, hey, you’re gonna be fine. W-we’ll get home, a-and you can audition for your musical. W-we need to have that Harry Potter marathon still-”
“Peter, I love you so, s-so much. P-please tell me you know that,” she felt herself still fading to the point she couldn’t speak without losing concentration.
He nodded, tears falling from his eyes, “O-of course, I know that. I love you too, so much. But you have to let go, Annie. I love you, but you need to let go now.”
Annie looked at him and shook her head, but he kissed her forehead, “Please, you can’t keep doing this.”
And with that, she fell into a pile of ash. There were a few reasons Peter wanted her to let go. The main reason was because if she stayed for another few moments she would’ve heard what he said next.
“Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so good.”

The Last Jedi and Immersion
Forget the specific arguments about why people disliked TLJ for a minute. For every argument, you can point to another plot element in another SW film that does much the same. Eventually I’ve just heard people say, “it just made me feel awful, what can I say, how can I like a movie that made me feel awful? I couldn’t engage with it. Obviously all these problems I have with it are problems with the film.” Seems pretty legit.
Overall, People who hate TLJ seem unable to suspend disbelief. It’s “not their Star Wars”. But I don’t think this isn’t a problem coming from the facts about what happens in the plot, to the characters (since so many things that people disliked are things people have suspended disbelief for in other circumstances). I think this is something caused by the overall aesthetic tone of the film.
This could mean the film has bad acting, bad cinematography, bad editing, and so on, and I’ve seen people try to argue that. But only Star Wars fans have tried to argue this in large numbers. Bad filmmaking should be apparent to anyone with a background in film studies or film appreciation. But this is a movie that mainstream and independent critics generally had a good reaction too. It was also a movie that got good reactions from the general audience. Not everyone has a Rotten Tomatoes account, but polls of audience members as they were leaving theaters gave it something like an 89% approval rating, iirc. So… what the heck. How can only Star Wars fans be experts on film?
They’re not — but they’re something like experts on Star Wars film. Star Wars is their (our?) standard for what a good Star Wars movie is. This is even more specific than judging a movie by its genre — for a space opera film, The Last Jedi is really freaking good (sorry that’s just blatantly true). But it’s not being judged as space opera.
There are elements to the genre “Star Wars” that are highly specific and I don’t even think that’s a bad thing. I’m a big Star Trek fan, and I’m not a fan of things using the Star Trek property that don’t keep to its genre. Because I think it’s a good genre. But I think TLJ does something really funky clever with a foundational aspect of the Star Wars genre. I think it’s a good movie because it evokes reactions that are not all positive and are also not unintended. It’s a cunning little bastard.
Punch it, Chewie, let’s do more of this hardcore meta shit:
Star Wars is supposed to be inviting you in. It’s an immersive experience. The fact that it’s full of all this aesthetic detail, the reason why things like the cantina scene are so iconic, is because it doesn’t just serve to move the characters’ arcs along, or the plot. It introduces you to a setting that could be explored from a lot of angles. It’s a place you could imagine experiencing for yourself. That’s why I think the prequels have been rehabilitated after all these years — because they’re full of settings with details that spark the imagination. And one thing I think people felt disappointed by with TLJ is that it is very tight and sparse with its settings. Even when it comes to its parallel movie, Empire, this is distinct. In Empire, the settings are not just places where things happen, but they’re locations where you know tons of other things happened you never saw. The Hoth base was built and manned by tons of Rebels. Dagobah might not be settled, but it’s full of weird alien creatures you just know are lurking somewhere in the swamp. Bespin is a whole city. And even isolated asteroids might have giant worms in them. Now, Empire got mixed reception when it came out. And it’s also a lot more sparing with its settings. If you think about all the other movies (ie. come up with examples for yourself this is already too long), they’re far more inviting. They tantalize you with things that aren’t really conveying plot, or are maybe overcomplicated or weird, but that you’re happy to have the protagonists interact with because it’s just a cool place. You want to imagine having your own adventure there.
But TLJ has locations that are intensely focused on the plot purpose they serve — Ahch-To is a small island with just a few residents, the Resistance fleet is claustrophobic and dwindling, Crait is visually similar to Hoth but it’s not a fully manned base, it’s abandoned, and once its broken down equipment is used, it’s abandoned again. Snoke doesn’t have a whole castle to lurk in, he’s got a minimalist throne room on a big ship, and those Imperial/Order vessels can spark some imagination, but they have kind of repetitive architecture, and everyone dresses the same. They don’t feel as big as they are. The only location that has that kind of expansiveness is Canto Bight, and the movie deliberately denies you the wonder and excitement you’re usually supposed to have. Finn is in awe of all this ostentatious wealth, and Rose immediately shuts that down. Even the fact that they get busted by the po-po for parking wrong is so exclusionary. You’re not allowed to enjoy this, first of all it’s full of evil rich fuckos, second of all you’re not welcome here, you’re riffraff and you’ll be spotted instantly. The only people we can project onto for our own adventures are — and this is VERY VERY INTENTIONAL please remember this for later — the slave kids.
The Last Jedi is not being willfully ignorant about what people enjoy in their Star Wars. It’s paring down that feeling of adventure on purpose. Everything is bare and small and contained. You don’t have a place to slide your original Star Wars character in. You can’t join up. You are excluded. If you want be Luke’s padawan, too bad, his academy is gone and you never even saw much of it besides a burning building. And he hides on this tiny island until Rey comes along, and shortly after, he dies. If you want to be playing the craps table at Canto Bight, too bad, they’re all gross oligarchs, there aren’t even any familiar aliens in the crowd, and none of the patrons of the city get any characterization. Only DJ, and he’s deeply underwhelming and ordinary, like he wandered in from the wrong movie. If you want to be with the First Order, too bad, they all look like asshole chumps. They don’t get to look cool in this one, unlike in TFA, where Hux’s super fascist speech and the enormous scale of Starkiller Base were at least sort of thrillingly evil. I had First Order OCs after I saw TFA. I imagined them on SKB in this remote sector, having fascinating adventures. There was room for them. Not anymore! If you want to be with the Resistance in TLJ — too bad! Most of them die! You don’t want to be on one of those ships, as they’re being blown out of the void. There are so few people left at the end of the film that they all fit inside the Falcon. And you know you’re not on the Falcon with them. A lot of people were instinctively, deeply perturbed by how many Resistance members died, the fact that it’s just a few people left. And you know what, I wouldn’t be surprised if a big factor in this is because it doesn’t feel like Star Wars. Star Wars has always had settings and organizations and factions that you can imagine immersing yourself in, that’s kind of its biggest appeal. But this movie doesn’t let you in.
THAT’S FUCKING BRILLANT
What would you say is the central conflict the main characters from TFA goes through in this movie? — they struggle to feel like they belong. And by main characters, I mean Rey and Finn. Rey and Finn were the main characters that in TFA we got to journey alongside as they faced strange new worlds and people. They are the outsiders to this universe. Rey never left the barren Jakku until TFA. Finn had never left the confining, dehumanizing ranks of the First Order. We wanted to see more of the galaxy through their eyes.
But in TLJ, Rey struggles to feel like she has a place in this universe, and makes some bad decisions while pursuing a heroic destiny. And Finn doesn’t feel at home with the Resistance; he only wants to find Rey, and then later save the fleet so that Rey can return safely.
The fact that the movie conveys that feeling of not belonging, of being locked out, of being an outsider, of not having a place in it all, by subverting the most common Star Wars experience of feeling included and swept up in the magic, is REALLY REALLY AMAZING. People feel horrible from this film, they feel like it betrayed them, they feel like it isn’t Their Star Wars, they feel like they’ve been shut out. And that’s incredible, because it’s exactly the angst that the characters were enduring. It puts you through what they went through. You have to feel that alienation. And people who loved Rey and Finn are not less invested in those characters after the film. They’re really fucking invested, that’s why they’re super pissed that it felt like Rey and Finn weren’t treated right. The movie didn’t kill people’s investment. It heightened it deeply — and that was a negative emotion! It felt awful! And it was a deeply powerful aesthetic experience. Which is good art.
But remember the fact that the only people you can project onto are the Canto Bight slave kids? They’re the only group that is vaguely defined enough that you could imagine being a kid and being one of them.
Why do you think, having painfully restricted you, the viewer, to this one tiny group, the movie ends on them? Why does it end showing these kids retelling the events of the film with cute handmade toys in a language you don’t understand, so you can imagine them saying anything? Why does it end with one of the kids walking out onto a shallow incline pointing up at the stars, like the slope of the opening crawl of Star Wars, call his broom with the Force, and wistfully watching a ship jump into lightspeed?
The Last Jedi shuts you out the whole way through until that final scene. You aren’t invited to join, just as the characters are grappling with their sense of place and purpose (arguably Luke also grapples with this, and he used to be our POV protagonist too). But then it finally, FINALLY, invites you back. It makes you wait the whole fucking movie to see a place where you belong. And it shows you a completely random little kid using the Force.
That’s you. You’re Broom Boy. You have something special and wonderful inside you, and you are important, but you don’t know it yet, and the universe doesn’t know it yet. You are latent. You aren’t ready yet, but your time is coming.
But the thing is, this ending doesn’t fully resolve the anxiety of being shut out. It doesn’t make you feel like you love this movie. Every aesthetic choice leading up until this point hasn’t felt like Star Wars. One scene isn’t going to change how you see this film. But this isn’t the last film of the trilogy. The next film will be about closure, and resolution — for the characters, but also for your anxiety. You will be invited back in (I hope). The Last Jedi doesn’t position itself so you know exactly why you felt wrong about this whole affair. It just induces that feeling in you, to prepare you for Episode 9. Because you are definitely going to buy a ticket for Episode 9. There are people who expect Ep9 will somehow rebuke TLJ, and undo everything it does. I sincerely hope it doesn’t. That would be undermining the flow of a whole trilogy. But if it gives you this feeling of belonging again, that doesn’t mean TLJ was a mistake. Maybe if TLJ was exciting and satisfying and pleasing without a hint of anxiety, it would sort of fizzle out by the time Episode 9 comes around. I think we’re supposed to be agitated and angrily hungry for more.

Like... a bunch of questions.
I’m answering most of them super abruptly, because there’s so many. I apologize in advance x-x
From @morrigans-ink-0124:
What are your current writing goals?
Finalize Pearl, get it to an editor, and then publish it.
When did you first discover your love of writing?
As a small child writing Nancy Drew fanfic.
What motivates you to keep writing?
I’m a writer. I would die if I didn’t write. (This sounds over-dramatic, but it’s pulled me through a lot of my depressive episodes, and I don’t know what I’d do without it.)
How important is world building for your writing? (For example, do you need to have your world completely established & mapped out before you can start writing? Or, do you not need a set world/environment in order to write your story?)
I usually have the world building first and form my plot and characters around it.
Pen on paper, or typing everything up in a word doc of some sort?
Always typed up. Dyslexia is not good for transferring paper to computer.
Favourite author?
Rick Riorden, Terry Pratchett, Leigh Bardugo, some others I can’t think of right now...
Something you do to get the creative juices flowing to start writing? (music, atmosphere, a particular article of clothing or lack there of…I mean what? I don’t do that. Ahem.)
I just write. Creativity is for armatures.
Do you write better at night, or first thing in the morning?
Any time I’m awake, honestly. So right in the middle of the day.
How do you take your coffee/tea? (And if you don’t drink coffee/tea, how do you even function? Weirdo.)
Black.
You have to spend the rest of your life with only one season, which one do you choose and why?
That moment right between summer and fall, when it’s still warm but the nights are nippy.
From @raiswanson, excluding questions I already answered:
2. What’s your favorite genre? (for writing or reading) Is there a particular aspect that draws you to it?
The punk aesthetic, but the fantasy feel.
3. How many projects do you have? Are they connected, or do they stand apart from one another?
Four projects, none connected in any way.
4. Do you have a favorite “type” of main character to write with?
Nope! Each of my main characters seem to be created by my subconscious trying not to write the same main character as last time...
5. What kind of scenes do you enjoy writing the most? Do you find them harder or easier to write?
Bittersweet emotional scenes 8D
6. What tends to come first when you start a story, characters, world, or plot? A combination of two? Or do they all come as a package deal?
The wold or the characters. (But if it’s the characters they always come with a world.)
7. How much do you know about the worlds you create? Do you plan put everything down to the finest detail, or make it up on the fly as it becomes relevant?
I know nothing, but the details all exists already. It’s a paradox.
8. What kind of characters do you usually have front and center? Humans? Elves? Aliens? Dragons? Dogs? Sentient trees? (if you primarily write non-fic, what kind of job/station in life do your characters usually have?)
It’s pretty mixed between humans and non-human sentient humanoids.
9. If you could pick one OC to drag out into the real world with you, who would you pick and why?
Dejean.
10. What is your current project? Tell us about it!
Pearl!
From @summerkiska, excluding questions I already answered:
1. What’s a line in your current WIP that you’re proud of (or just like a lot)?
How about this one I’m posting soon for Pearl: “Within his chest, his heart pounds a frantic rhythm. A heart so near, so vulnerable, I could rip it free between beats.”
2. What’s a question that you wish people would ask you about your writing? (And what’s the answer??)
Not particularly.
3. What’s your favorite part of the writing process?
The first draft! Anything goes and there’s no pressure =D
4. What song best fits the theme of your WIP main character? (And why?)
Vasha’s is King by Lauren Aquilina
5. What habits or rituals do you have for writing sessions?
Having a goal to get to and completing it before I move onto other things.
6. What’s one piece of advice you wish you were given when you first started your writing journey?
Don’t listen to any writing advice unless you can figure out for yourself why it works for your story.
7. Who was your first book character crush? (Or if you can’t remember, who’s your favorite book character crush?)
I don’t crush on fictional characters? I’m weird, I guess.
8. What’s one of your writing pet peeves?
EXCESSIVE ELLIPSIS (@byjillianmaria knows this)
9. Who’s your favorite character in fiction that you loved to hate?
Any version of Loki ever.
10. What are you currently trying to work on when it comes to growing as a writer? (And how’s it going??)
Outlining solid plots before I start writing. (I’m not sure yet, I’m still in the outlining phase...)
From @my-words-are-light:
What do you look for in picking out stories?
Something I enjoy reading?
What fads rub you the wrong way in contemporary novels?
Basically every YA trope ever.
Have you ever made a character who was your hero?
Nah, my characters are all idiots and most of them wouldn’t know what morals were if you hit them over the head with ‘em.
Why did you make your favourite character?
Their dad appeared in my head one day because he liked a song, and then Vasha swooned over their dad, so I made them... (I can explain in more detail but I promise this is as much sense as it makes.)
What’s the pettiest reason for a decision you’ve made in planning or writing?
I’m about to write a sci fi novella purely because I hated both Zenith and Valarian and the city of a thousand planets, so that probably.
Who are your fictional role models for your characters?
I don’t have any?
What makes a good romantic subplot, or romance?
Me actually shipping the damn characters for once.
Do you actually enjoy killing your characters like lemmings and, if so, should I wash my hands before shaking yours?
I refuse to kill any of my characters unless it’s the only direction the story could possibly go.
Have you ever had Tim Tams?
Nope.
What do you hope people take away from your writing? A grand message? Invigoration? Maybe even just a chuckle or two?
Laughter and tears. I want to make them feel things.
From @theguildedtypewriter, excluding questions I already answered:
What character pisses you off the most?
ILYA DAMMIT. (I love him, but he fucks everything up, the trash child.)
Which scene do you think will make people cry, or laugh?
I know for a fact that over half my readers cried during a certain scene in TWLC.
What’s your worst writing habit?
There are narrator no emotions in the first draft! And if there are, then every emotion is a feeling in the stomach or the chest!
Do you follow your outline?
More or less. I write hit all the major points but mix things up on a scene level.
Which character makes you laugh the most?
I don’t laugh. I just cringe.
Do you like a good love story?
A good one yes. Good love stories are hard to find.
Do you like a good horror story?
Horror for the sake of horror isn’t my thing, but I like a good story with horror elements.
What trope/stereotype is your least favorite?
Literally all the ones popular in YA fiction.
What fairy tale is your favorite?
Beauty and the beast.
From @inkspll, excluding questions I already answered:
Where is your favorite place to write?
I don’t really have one? Anywhere quiet honestly.
What is your least favorite part to write?
Those damn emotions.
Are you a “kill all the characters you love” Kind of writer or a “ Everyone deserves a redemption arc” Kind of writer?
Neither. I give my villains a chance to redeem themselves and they make the choice themselves.
What’s a recurring trait in your stories and/or characters?
I don’t know if there is one? A lot of my characters are morally grey though, and diversity is a big deal.
From the characters you’ve created who is your least favorite?
Least favorite characters generally mean not-fleshed-out-enough characters. Suuki was my least favorite for a lot of drafts because her character was very bland originally.
What word do you use too much when writing?
Soft.
Do you write outlines and plan things out before you write?
Yup!
Favorite story idea you never got to write?
I write down all my favorites in case I ever want to write them someday, and I don’t cross any of them out ;)
From @rebeckaomalleywriter, excluding questions I already answered:
How do you feel about midnight epiphanies?
I don’t often get them, because I’m asleep xP
Did any of your characters ever materialize in your mind with no prompting?
The better question to ask is: have any of them not appeared that way?
What is the most surprising thing one of your characters has done that you weren’t planning?
I was pretty surprised when Perle caught the blood dripping form the ceiling in their mouth in the second page of Pearl. I hadn’t know who they were as a character when I started writing and that really set the ton of who they were.
Do you listen to music while you’re writing?
Always.
Do you snack while you’re writing?
Not generally.
Do you consider reading to be an important past time for a writer?
Yes, but I think consumption of all kinds of stories is incredibly useful, so you don’t need to be reading very many books as long as you’re analyzing stories of some kind on a regular basis.
How many completed works, and WIPs do you have under your belt currently?
Completed...? (I have the Marshmallow Aesthetic.)
Which of your characters has the most tragic backstory?
Kleos and Kian both have very tragic backstories which they didn’t deserve in the slightest.
Which has the happiest?
No one has an incredibly happy backstory... I suppose Simone’s was pretty normal, and considering how things could have gone, Vasha, Ilya, and Suuki all had a nice childhoods.

Super detailed questions about your OC: Jozre and Alinthiel
(I had to get rid of some questions because they were either not applicable to the universe the characters are in or don't really seem important or simply I couldn't answer very well)
1. What’s their full name? Why was that chosen? Does it mean anything? Its embarrassing and personal question haha. Jozre Alcazier is a corruption or Jose Hebrew meaning “God increases” and Alcazar in Moorish means “palace” or “fortress”. Alinthiel is really just a name that sounds good and elfish but also got inspired by the anime MAGI with the main character Aladin.
2. Do they have any titles? How did they get them?
Jozre: “I don't really have a title, not yet I guess”
Alinthiel: “I am currently the Alchemy instructor of the Winterhold university mostly because they lacked one.....oh and one of the Thalmor’s most wanted. Long story.”
3. Did they have a good childhood? What are fond memories they have of it? What’s a bad memory?
Jozre: “I like to think I had a good childhood overall. Growing up in an environment with different intermingled cultures has its perks and I enjoyed every bit of it. Still, I regret having been a terrible kid with my brothers and I had a few bullies in my life but I just shrugged most bulling off for the most part”
Alinthiel: I had a very nice childhood in the imperial city but the haunting truth that we were fugitives speaking against the Aldmeri Dominion always seemed to hover above us. Then the great war reached us in the city and...well you know how war can be with teenagers”
4. What is their relationship with their parents? What’s a good and bad memory with them? Did they know both parents?
Jozre: I love my parents and mostly have good memories of us having good times but they would once in a wile have very heated arguments. Kind of made me feel helpless and scared we wouldn't be a family any more. Guess there is nothing good with out the bad”
Alinthiel: “despite the stress from obvious reasons, I had good memories with my parents like the time my mom would teach magic. The Imperial city was a nice place to live in before the war despite the whole Oblivion crisis thing. Life was sometimes quiet and boring though because we did not leave our house too much in fear of Thalmor spies spotting us.”
5. Do they have any siblings? What’s their names? What is their relationship with them? Has their relationship changed since they were kids to adults?
Jozre: “four actually: Dahvi, Rafa, Oscar. We are in really good terms now but I was a little brat to everyone when I was little. Its kind of a sore and shameful subject for me and try to make up for it all every time I get.
Alinthiel: “No not I don't but sure wished I had a little sister or brother”
6. What were they like at school? Did they enjoy it? Did they finish? What level of higher education did they reach? What subjects did they enjoy? Which did they hate?
Jozre: “I have always had mixed feelings about school. I enjoy what I learned in high school because its useful now but it all could have came with out the bullies. Wile I could shrug out most, there was one time when the line was crossed and they abused my romantic feelings. Once I found out a girl I liked had vanished after being attacked by the bully, I kind of killed him and that ended with me becoming a criminal to the imperials. I loved Alchemy and my teacher was the best man I have known but hated biology because of a terrible teacher I had”
Alinthiel: “ohhh I loved school although I was technically home schooled. Mom said she did not want me in the college of whispers and the synods because “they are selfish and self serving fungus sippers” and the Telvanii have a very rigid and ignorantly black and white belief about magic and themselves. My mom was once studied with the Psijjics so she knew what she was doing and also attended classes in the college of Winterhold. Being mostly secluded to our house, I was always happy about learning. My favorite subject was Mysticism but I hated home education: I cant clean and end up burning everything I cook!”
7. Did they have lots of friends as a child? Did they keep any of their childhood friends into adulthood?
Jozre: “not many, no. The few friends I had were great though but we moved a lot so the friendships don't last long. I do like to think they think of me once in a wile and that one day we will get together again like old times.
Alinthiel: oh yes tons! I made friends in the Imperial city among the children and young adults when I lived there and even befriended a Moth priest. I would get to see them when I could leave our house but would sneak out at times to hang out more. Sure hope they made it ok after the war....”
8. Did they have pets as a child? Do they have pets as an adult? Do they like animals?
Jozre: “I adopted an old and blind dog when I was young. I still remember how sad and damp the poor old dog was when I first found him, it was raining harsh outside and I just could not let him die alone. Poor Leo was the sweetest and kindest old blind pooch you would ever meet and it brings me to tears how one day, he just died of old age. I like to think I made his last days happy ones though I cant shake the feeling I failed him too. I never stop thinking about him.”
Alinthiel: “We had the whole thing of being nice but not taking in animals. we were never animal people but my mom thought me this animal empathy spell she learned from the wood elves and its amazing! not as potent as the wood elfs themselves though.”
9. Do animals like them? Do they get on well with animals?
Jozre: “Not any more then any other I guess”
Alinthiel: “guess magic don't count huh? well, no I guess not particularly. we got an understanding but that's about it”
10. Do they like children? Do children like them? Do they have or want any children? What would they be like as a parent? Or as a godparent/babysitter/ect?
Jozre: “I don't have any cubs of my own. I think I would leave the idea of having children to my love because personally, I am fine with or without. I would like to believe that I would be the father to help my cubs along with life and guide them so that they don't make the same mistakes I did. Be loving but fair and bestow as many good values as I can with out spoiling them”
Alinthiel: “err, id have to find the “right guy” or girl, I don't judge” but I can be picky and I am always busy with my work.”
11. Do they have any special diet requirements? Are they a vegetarian? Vegan? Have any allergies?
Jozre: “whole milk will out right kill me....or at least it would feel like my insides are being turned open. I need to drink a special lactose free milk or rely on cheese for my calcium.”
Alinthiel: “I cant eat sugary or caffeinated foods as far as I know, you REALY don't want to see me on a high. That is why I confine my self to my study when ever I am in one”
12. What is their favourite food?
Jozre: “oh man do I love food that is spicy and sweet food! I love Rimmani chocolate masala. I am a lover of good food so my preferences are too long to count. I will say that I love fruit and nuts as well”
Alinthiel: “I don't really have a preference but do enjoy eating strange and exotic or alien foods. Those argonian spiced snake was amazing and the way they used the poison was a nice zing! don't eat when mouth sores tough....because you know.....the whole dyeing thing”
13. What is their least favourite food?
Jozre: “anything that is too greasy and bitter food. I hate bitter food and drink and that Dunmer/ dark elf shit is nasty, how do they swallow that slop they call drink?”
Alinthiel: “I don't really have a dislike for something but I do not like putting time into food like those boiled crabs you have to open and scrape out the meat. I am always busy and doing something so I need something that I can grab and eat with out any hassle. now if you serve it already out of the shell, I will not complain”
14. Are they good at cooking? Do they enjoy it? What do others think of their cooking?
Jozre: “I love cooking because I know I can make something I like. I am no gourmet chef and your bound to be disappointed if you want some pretty piece of art but I like to think I make delicious food. I never go hungry”
Alinthiel: “burn food, remember?”
15. Do they collect anything? What do they do with it? Where do they keep it?
Jozre: “I like to collect spices and alchemical herbs when ever I can get my hands on them. I also like to collect swords and armor I find, can clean and carry with me for later use. no, I am not a hoarder”
Alinthiel: “books of ancient lore and magic~ I love books!”
16. What’s their favourite genre of: books, music, tv shows, films, video games and anything else?
Jozre: “love, adventure and...well, Instruction texts of Daibella.”
Alinthiel: “magical lore and elder scrolls if I ever get my hands on one...they do count right?”
17. What’s their least favourite genres?
Jozre and Alinthiel: “Dunmer propaganda, specially Dres and Telvanii.”
18. Do they like musicals? Music in general? What do they do when they’re favourite song comes?
Jozre: “never been to a musical before but I like music with flair and passion. When ever I hear the guitar, drums and or trumpets, I swing my tail and ignore I dance like a dork!”
Alinthiel: “the classical with the harms and the hymns~ oh how beautiful they can be~.......you should try them! I also like weird and atmospheric are surprisingly good”
19. Do they have a temper? Are they patient? What are they like when they do lose their temper?
Jozre: “I once had a really bad and quick temper when I was younger and would get very violent when pushed too far. Ever since I met Mi’Jirra and she became part of my life, it takes so much more to get me angry and knowing she is there for me and I for her gives me the confidence and strength to be a stronger person. I will, how ever, not tolerate any harm coming to Mi’Jirra and her family”
Alinthiel: “racism and ignorance just make me boil! that is why I have no patience for the Thalmor, stormcloaks and most dark elves. other than that, I am probably too mellow and sleepy to care. Just don't mess with my research”
20. Do they have a good memory? Short term or long term? Are they good with names? Or faces?
Jozre: “I usually have a good memory and can remember things most don't, specialy if its of interest to me but I am terrible with names most of the time. I am good with faces though and can recognize some one visually better then by name”
Alinthiel: “hah, my mind is like a steel trap and can remember every but of text and lore and memory I have ever gotten my neurons on. Probably explains the headaches and mild insomnia”
21. What is their sleeping pattern like? Do they snore? What do they like to sleep on? A soft or hard mattress?
Jozre: “I sleep the whole 7-8 hours one needs and am usually very adaptable to my needs. I snore very lightly but may snore loud if I am not flat on my bed. I usually can sleep wherever and am not picky but I do prefer a slightly soft bed that conforms to me as best as possible. I am ashamed to say that once in a wile, I sleep walk and may act out what I am dreaming or just walk around and mumble nonsense”
Alinthiel: “I actually love sleeping just as much as I like studding so I get a snooze when ever I allow myself. I have been told that I snore but I am sure that is not true” it totally is true.
22. What do they find funny? Do they have a good sense of humour? Are they funny themselves?
Jozre: “I find witty and ironic things funny as well as life stories retold as a joke. I like to think I have a good and broad sense of humor. I on the other hand am a bit of a hit and miss when it comes to telling comedy though people have told me that I am funnier when I am not actively trying to be funny but do or say something amusing”
Alinthiel: “most people don't find it funny but I find most pun comedy to be hilarious like the one about telling jokes...periodically!” *begins to snort and wheeze*
23. How do they act when they’re happy? Do they sing? Dance? Hum? Or do they hide their emotions?
Jozre: “I usually don't notice but people tell me I always have this warm smile to me and wag my tail when I am in a good mood. I also tend to whistle tunes and act a little giddy once in a wile. I also tend to sing songs I like even though I cant sing even to save my life”
Alinthiel: “When I am happy, I like to dance and waltz around as well as act like a total nerd about the topic of magic at the current situation”
24. What makes them sad? Do they cry regularly? Do they cry openly or hide it? What are they like they are sad?
Jozre: “betrayal and disloyalty really hurt me the most as well as failing those I love more than anything else in the world. I get this sense of worthlessness that really bums me out and makes me ask ‘why’. I have never cried openly, too proud for that. Unfortunately, sadness would soon lead to rage and a desperate need to enact justice. Fortunately, I have become much less susceptible to this once I met Mi’Jirra and my other friends because of the strength they give me. Now I just let things flow down the river”
Alinthiel: “remembering what the Thalmor did to me and my people’s reputation really gets me down though everything unfair in this world bothers me. How unfair and unjust the pro Thalmor altmer, the dark elves, some of the nords and their gods treat others really gets my blood boiling. That is why I am so determined to finish my research into finally shattering all barriers between races and world to eliminate beliefs of superiority and make everyone happy. The thought that I may never achieve this also bothers me greatly but I cant stop now”
25. What is their biggest fear? What in general scares them? How do they act when they’re scared?
Jozre: “Molag Bal and his penchant to corrupt and flay the souls of others absolutely horrifies me to the core. I also find spiders and zombies to be scary but the thing that scares me the most? Loosing Mi’Jirra and not being able to be with her forever in this world and the next. I know its probably selfish and pathetic but I cant go on as I am now with out her and that is why I dedicate my self to protecting her and supporting her in any way” Jozre acts serious but with a visible hint of desperation and fight or flight instinct ready to explode.
Alinthiel: “I am afraid of being trapped in this world after death, to linger on aimlessly bound to the earth bones as a spirit or being reincarnated into this world again wile nords go to sovenguard and so on. Its not fair. I want everyone to have the freedom of bliss after death.”
26. What do they do when they find out someone else’s fear? Do they tease them? Or get very over protective?
Jozre: “Depends. I become over protective of my loved ones and promise to guard their secrets with out telling a soul. With my enemies is another story entirely because one’s fear is a powerful weapon. I know its dark to use your enemies fears against them but I like to have the ability to control confrontations and with them before they heat up.
Alinthiel: “I believe in a fair fight so I don't use fears of others unless I really have to”
27. Do they exercise? Regularly? Or only when forced? What do they act like pre-work out and post-work out?
Jozre: “I practice my sword and shield once in a wile and do a lot of lifting work at the docs when ever they need muscle. Most of the time however, I....practice yoga and my Daibellan arts in private if you get my meaning” Jozre those a kind of belly dancing were he exercises the hip, core, thigh and pelvic muscles as well as building control of his motion among other work outs.
Alinthiel: “I mostly dance actually. I also do Yoga”
28. Do they drink? What are they like drunk? What are they like hungover? How do they act when other people are drunk or hungover? Kind or teasing?
Jozre: “I used to drink a lot for a year but stopped outright after I met Mi’Jirra and her family so I could seem like a better person. It was also bad for my health so there is that though I do drink during special occasions but just enough to be social. When I did drink my fill, I was a giggle box and would laugh at almost any joke, I also had a bit of a tipsy gate but only fell down once. There was that one time...I kind of ran down the road naked and scared everyone saying I was a were bunny. I don't judge anyone for drinking as long as they keep it civil and friendly. I do tease my friends when their smashed though but make sure I am there to help”
Alinthiel: “oh man do I ever! I love drinking and know how to drink most under the table hahaha! I use magic to keep my self composed enough to not get into too much trouble but when I am drunk, I am a singer and kind of tend to ramble on about philosophical nonsense”
29. What do they dress like? What sorta shops do they buy clothes from? Do they wear the fashion that they like? What do they wear to sleep? Do they wear makeup? What’s their hair like?
Jozre: “I like to dress comfortable and practical with simple v neck tunics and loose shorts that end at bellow the knees. I like to sleep on my loincloth actually which I only say, makes me feel free but grips well on the hips. Its when I expect any danger when I wear my armor at all times, even if its just a gambeson. I like to comb my hair back after cleaning it carefully though it always looks wolfish because of how silky it is”
Alinthiel: “I like to dress to look as intelligent as I am and for that, I prefer robes and tunics with cultural designs. I been rocking the winterhold instructor style and I love it actually though the nord wool is too itchy to wear on skin so I wear an altmeri silk dress beneath. I like to always be prepared so I like to carry my tools with me like potions, flasks, my note tome and enchanted jewelry of my own design with practical and empowering functions. I like to sleep on the softest and silkiest shirts and dresses for a good sleep so I made sure to bring my own. Nords are not known for their soft textiles. I love my hair mostly because it keeps me work in the wintery north and its a nice pillow so I make sure to comb it straight and side ways on my crown for some glamor. even a bookworms got to look good right?”
30. What underwear do they wear? Boxers or briefs? Lacey? Comfy granny panties?
Jozre: I like to wear slightly loose fitting loincloths that make me feel free and are easy to remove. I hate it when cloth articles squeeze and grip my unmentionables”
Alinthiel: I like to wear a set of tights under another, I like them conforming to me, you know?
31. What is their body type? How tall are they? Do they like their body?
Jozre: “I am of a bulky broad shoulder and muscular complexion with a wide torso and hips and I am 6′7 give or take because of my natural Cathey-Rhat stature. I think I like my body, I feel happy with my self and know that so do my loved ones”
Alinthiel: “I am a little short for a high elf at around 6 feet tall and am a bit on the thin side with long limbs though I have no muscle at all. I don't really mind my body, never rally gave it a though to be honest. Not proud or ashamed, I just am.”
32. What’s their guilty pleasure? What is their totally unguilty pleasure?
Jozre: “My most guilty pleasure has to be sex. I am sorry but when I am with my one and only in bed after hours of passion and love, I rarely am happier of my life then at that moment. What's worse is that I am so invested in making my love as happy and as pleased as she would ever be that I practice how to move and read how to best pleasure a woman to the point of it being what I am best at. I am better in bed than in the battle field for crying out loud!”
“my unguilty pleasure? good food by far and it shows when ever at the table. When I eat something that is perfectly cooked and spiced like my favorite food, I take my time savoring every bite and tend to be the last to finish haha”
Alinthiel: “my guilty pleasure has to be sleeping, I cant help it! besides almost always being tired to a degree, I just find sleep in a nice warm bed to be too calming to resist”
“my unguilty pleasure has to be a nice pint or 5 of hard cider ale! oh man do I love getting drunk and tasting that sweet nectar go down so smoothly, its art to make good cider ale or Vodka. I think I know a furry friend of mine that also likes cider ale.”
33. What are they good at? What hobbies do they like? Can they sing?
Jozre: “besides, well, my skill in bed, I am actually really good at fighting and specially at tank support roles. I have built the dexterity and endurance to be able to take a lot of punishment and dish it back just as hard. wile I am good at fighting, I am even better at protecting others with pin point block and saves wile providing support. My favorite Hobby would have to be traveling and enjoying diverse cultures around the world. I love to learn of the other cultures and to taste their foods and drinks is one of the most fulfilling things in my life.
Alinthiel: “I am very good at magic and love to practice it when ever I am not asleep, busy on my responsibilities or drinking a nord under the table. Thanks to being a high elf, I had ample time to hone my self so I can actually sing very well or well enough”
34. Do they like to read? Are they a fast or slow reader? Do they like poetry? Fictional or non fiction?
Jozre: “I like to read yea, not my favorite past time but don't hate it. I am a middle ground reader you know? not too fast but not slow. I like poetry and nice literature, there are a good few classics out there to learn from”
Alinthiel: “Do I like to read? hahaha you forgot I am a mage? come on man, course I do like to read, yea! I am a fast reader, I have to be so that I can learn all I can about the topic I study. Poetry and fiction are hind of meh for me but what I hate is that pompous self indulgent of the dark elves. You think the Thalmor are the only bad birds around? Go visit the Telvanii and Dres and you will learn how much of a bunch of munchkins they are”
35. What do they admire in others? What talents do they wish they had?
Jozre: “I have always admired my family but most of all, I admire Mi’Jirra for her amazing skill in magic and willingness to live life at its fullest and protect herself from anyone. I guess I admire peoples determination and ability to live and love” “another thing that I admire Mi’Jirra is her amazing skill in magic which is recognized even by savants like Alinthiel as a person of immense potential. I on the other hand can barely use enough magic to cast the simplest spells naturally. Not being gifted is after a set back of being a Cathey-Rhat: we bigger cats just don't have the natural ability others have”
Alinthiel: “I admire heroism, honesty and fairness. Some one that will not do things selfishly or trick others for self serving motives. Sadly, I have never read of any hero in all of tamrielic history as pure of heart and soul as I would prefer.”
36. Do they like energy drinks? Coffee? Sugary food? Or can they naturally stay awake and alert?
Jozre: “Not really, I don't like coffee. Now sweets like Moon sugar, pies and breads is another story!”
Alinthiel: “why would anyone like an energy potion? Their too bitter for normal consumption and it may give you a heart attack if too much is drunk. I prefer to suck on a coffee bean instead of drinking it”
37. What’s their sexuality? What do they find attractive? Physically and mentally? What do they like/need in a relationship?
Jozre: “I am straight. I kind of have a thing for shorter girls, I don't know why. Though I really cant find anyone but my current girlfriend as truly attractive. Mentally, I prefer a girl that is loyal and willing to deeply love me just as I would love her. I don't really care about personal quirks really because I am generally a very flexible guy and am willing to conform to a girl I love with in reason.”
Alinthiel: “I haven really given any thought on it. I mean I have never been with anyone. I guess my “knight in shining armor” would be someone that would appreciate me and the work I do to better the lives of others and protect the weak and downtrodden from oppressors. Probably some one that would support my cause. As for what sex I prefer, I guess I am what they call bisexual but never interested me to think of it. I guess who ever comes first and wins me over”
38. What are their goals? What would they sacrifice anything for? What is their secret ambition?
Jozre: “I have always wanted to be a hero bus more importantly, a hero to a beautiful maiden like in the stories. I guess you could say that my dreams have evolved ever sines I met Mi’Jirra in the streets of Whiterun. My life’s goals now are really to live my life to the fullest alongside Mi’Jirra and to protect her from all harm as best as I can. When it comes down to it, all I want is to live and love and would sacrifice anything to be with Mi’Jirra and see her happy as long as she was ok with it”
Alinthiel: “My life’s ambition is to defeat the Thalmor and end the savage cycle of violence and hate that plagues our land. I don't know how and I don't know if I would ever be able to fully achieve this even if I find the right emperor’s candidate to sit in the ruby throne and rule with fairness and wisdom. My greatest ambition, how ever, is to defy and defeat the gods and their arbitrary ways of afterlife. Even if I have to fight and some how bring Talos or even Lorkan low to heel so that the wishing souls not of nord background can enter Sovenguard, than so be it. If there is a way I can find the power to match a god and force them to no longer forbid the worthy from such paradises because of some absurd racial dogma with out seeking the help of the dark Daedra or other unimaginable evils, then so be it. The Elder Scrolls may be my only hope.”
39. Are they religious? What do they think of religion? What do they think of religious people? What do they think of non religious people?
Jozre: “I guess I am religious. My family has always praised the gods Mara, Kinarthy and the lunar twins as I do thought with the addition of Daibella. Having said that, religion can get very nasty when headed by the wrong people. For some examples you only need to look at the following: Stormcloaks, The Stendarr inquisition, just about every dark elf religion to name a few.”
Alinthiel: “I know religion and gods exist but for now, I owe my allegiance to no credo and god. I will only follow a god that will aid me in my quest”
40. What is their favourite season? Type of weather? Are they good in the cold or the heat? What weather do they complain in the most?
Jozre: “I don't really have a favored season but winters in Skyrim are murder! I hate how cold it is and it makes travel in the northern parts and on mountain paths down right dangerously impossible to pass. I mean seriously, it can get so cold in the mountains that you need hours of prep just to give yourself a chance of not freezing to death or catching frost bite. The weather I enjoy the most is sunny days in Skyrim and summer/late spring cloudy days. Having said all that, I am as adaptable as one can get but prefer to not brave a harsh weather I don't have to brave.”
Alinthiel: “I don't really mind any weather so long as it is not an obstacle to my visits to ruins and excavation sites. Even then, I have lived in Winterhold for so long that I have learned how to stay worm enough to get from A to B as efficiently as possible”
41. How do other people see them? Is it similar to how they see themselves?
Jozre: “how people see me? The only ones I care how they view me are Mi’Jirra and my loved ones. Truthfully, I get all kinds of reactions from others: accept, hero, mercenary, pest, thief, plebe just to name a few. The why I only care about viewing my self as is the protector and provider of my loved ones.”
Alinthiel: “To my students, I am the teacher, the potions master, the creepy skinny scare crow, and the introvert. My enemies call me the rebel, the mud slinger, the heretic, the thalmor murderer among a few. Personally, I like to think of my self as the innovator, the scholar, and the seeker of a greater ruler hoping to give the good of heart a better future”
42. Do they make a good first impression? Does their first impression reflect them accurately? How do they introduce themselves?
Jozre: “I like to think I make a good first impression which actually depends on the occasion. If I am looking for work then I will show how willing and capable I am with professionalism. When its a less formal meeting, I just go with how I am: a friendly and welcoming person to friendly and reasonable people. I prefer to be as honest as I can if I don't have to lie and my first impression also has to do with the occasion ranging between professional and willing to work and laid back and welcoming”
Alinthiel: “I am just my self when ever really. That those not mean I am not polite and respectful, only that I may not look awake half the time”
43. How do they act in a formal occasion? What do they think of black tie wear? Do they enjoy fancy parties and love to chit chat or loathe the whole event?
Jozre: “I can be proper and respectful when I have to, I just don't do it often. my family is of tradesman nobility so I have been in a couple formal occasions were we vassal for a lord or lady. I am respectful and as poise as I can be and learned to be political when I have to, not that I like all the fru fru nonsense. I chit chat and attend when I have to and like to just pull the formal wear off were ever and drink a cold one”
Alinthiel: “oh I love formal occasions and parties of high class and poise and culture. Not been to many but I like the slight moment were I get to feel like a high elf in peace time. Occasionally, such events are great ways of spying and gathering new allies so there is the plus to it all”
44. Do they enjoy any parties? If so what kind? Do they organise the party or just turn up? How do they act? What if they didn’t want to go but were dragged along by a friend?
Jozre: “Who wouldn't like a party? hanging out with family and friends with good food and great company? sign me up! as long as the party is fun for me and my people, I don't really care what kind of party it is though I may need a few ales to get into the spirit. Even if I don't want to go, I always manage to convince my self that its worth it because your friends there so I roll with the punches”
Alinthiel: “I don't generally like big parties but if there is booze there then I guess I am game though wandering hands should expect third degree burns. I like to organize parties when ever some one asks for one but are not of people’s likening half the time because they may be too formal or gimmicky for others. When invited or forced to a party I don't want to be in, I generally and eventually see my self out. I don't see why some one would stay in a party they don't like if there is nothing practical to gain from it”
45. What is their most valued object? Are they sentimental? Is there something they have to take everywhere with them?
Jozre: “when I get engaged or married, its absolutely my ring, its almost a lucky charm and reminder of great things I have obtained”
Alinthiel: “my most valued possession would have to be my mother’s Tome of notes. Wile it is the only thing I have left to remember my family by, It is also a crucial component in my research and ultimate goals.”
46. If they could only take one bag of stuff somewhere with them: what would they pack? What do they consider their essentials?
Jozre and Alinthiel are not silly enough to exclude the essentials: sleeping bag, out door tent, out door cooking set, flint, rope, water, dried meat and long lasting breads, nuts and honey. Several potions and poisons for different uses from deterring unwanted animals to keeping themselves warm. The basic needs in traveling the wilderness of Nirn.

30K Celebration: This Or That?
Missed yesterday’s Favorite Things About Me? Click HERE!
1. Lace or velvet? Velvet, and I’m not saying that just because I love red velvet cake….though that may have something to do with it.
2. Paperbacks or hard covers? Paperbacks. That way, I can bend it if I need to while reading.
3. Forest or beach? I prefer beaches; they feel safer to me. Sort of ironic because I can barely swim.
4. Thunderstorm or sunny? Thunderstorms. Bright sunshine hurts my eyes.
5. Vanilla or honey scented? That’s…that’s hard! Maybe vanilla? I really like the smell of honey, though…
6. Hair up or hair down? I almost always wear my hair down, unless my hair refuses to cooperate. I’d love to tie my hair in twin tails, but I just can’t do nice looking ponytails.
7. Moon or sun? 100% in support of the moon. And no, it’s not a phase.
8. Romantic love or platonic love? I think both are really important, but platonic love needs to come first in a relationship, I think.
9. Coffee or tea? I’m more of a tea person, but I do drink the occasional sweetened mocha.
10. Comedy or horror movie? Horror movies seem really…fake to me. They also make me really paranoid. So, I’d say comedies.
11. Chokers or necklaces? I’ve always liked chokers, but I actually wear neither.
12. Sunrise or sunset? Sunset! It’s often more colorful.
13. Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate is where it’s at! Truthfully though, vanilla ice cream can be great when added to other things in my opinion.
14. Flannel or sweaters? Flannel, because I just have that flannel aesthetic.
15. Mermaids or fairies? I’m going to go with mermaids. I’ve always wanted to be able to explore the sea and swim without fear I’m going to drown. Being able to breathe down there would be so cool.
16. Books or movies? For some reason, most movies don’t capture my attention that well! I’d say books.
17. Roses, daisies or lilies? Hmmm…. I’d probably go with roses. I’m a sucker for roses.
18. Heavy sleeper or light sleeper? I am a light sleeper. It takes me about two to three hours to fall asleep. It…sucks.
19. Silent or white noise? If by white noise you mean fan (which I assume you do), white noise. My noisemaker helps me sleep significantly better.
20. Single pillow or many pillows? I have seven pillows on and around my bed. And no, that’s not because people with more pillows are often more depressed. Or maybe it is? Dunno. I just love pillows!
21. Scented candles or incense? Willing to say I go NUTS in candle stores, scented candles.
22. Blueberry or strawberry? Strawberry! It’s always been my favorite. It’s also my sister’s favorite…or was, until she became allergic to them.
23. Poetry or short stories? Poetry. I prefer my stories long! Speaking of stories, I’m doing camp NANOWRIMO this month. Wish me luck!
24. Sunny days outside or rainy days inside? Rainy days inside. It’s less depressing to be inside when it’s rainy. Also, we don’t get a ton of sun around here.
25. Coke or Pepsi? I hate to be controversial here, but I prefer coke. Pepsi is a little too sweet for my own personal tastes.
26. Stay in or go out on the weekends? I’m definitely a stay in kind of gal. My weekends are for recuperating from weekly stress.
27. Hugs or kisses? My s/o and I much prefer hugging. We have only kissed a few times. Truth be told, I don’t think either of us really know how.
28. Museums or zoos? I prefer zoos. Animals are cool. Also, museums are usually more expensive.
29. Dimples or collarbones? Collarbones! My collarbone is literally the best thing ever and I love it.
30. Cactuses or roses? I’m such a cactus. I’m not even going to lie. Also, cactuses are really cool and usually small. Like me.
31. Dress for comfort or for style? Comfort. As long as I feel good, I don’t usually care what others think
32. Erasing or crossing out things? I like to erase things, but I often cannot since I prefer writing in pen.
33. Eat all day or sleep all day? Sleep all day. I am in a constant state of tired.
34. Earth tones or pastels? Pastels. I’m cliché like that.
35. Lemon or lime? I guess I’d have to go with lemons, though life never gave me any.
36. Cloud watching or stargazing? As much as I prefer stargazing, it’s often really cloudy where I live. So, most of the time I watch clouds.
37. Kneesocks or thigh-highs? What kind of question is this? Kneesocks, duh!
38. History or mythology? While I love reading about history, mythology is way cooler.
39. Dark chocolate or milk chocolate? Milk chocolate. I am a wuss who doesn’t like healthier things.
40. Sweaters or hoodies? Willing to say I’m wearing a hoodie right now, hoodies.
41. Serious or light hearted? The weird thing is, I’m kind of both. It really depends on how comfortable I am around you (as well as my mood)
42. Early bird or night owl? Night owl. Being up early is….not fun for me.
43. Long hair or short hair? Everyone prefers me with short hair. I prefer keeping it long.
44. Cuddly or hands off? Overly cuddly. I need my affection.
45. Cherry or blue raspberry? I’m going to go with blue raspberry. It reminds me of one of my OCs. It’s also cool because it doesn’t exist in nature. Like, who came up with blue raspberry flavoring? What does it taste like? Blue? Nobody knows.
46. Pro or anti marshmallow? …people are anti marshmallow?
47. Strawberry or mint? I love mint! Especially if it’s mint chip.
48. Neat handwriting or messy handwriting? My handwriting is atrocious. Yes, I can write nicely. I just don’t care enough to slow down and do so.
49. Waffles or pancakes? Pancakes! …because reasons.
50. Orange juice or lemonade? I used to hate orange juice. I’m okay with it now, but I still love lemonade more.
51. Closed mouth smile or open mouth smile? For the longest time, I tried smiling with my mouth closed. Turns out I prefer smiling with my mouth open. Plus, you get to see my lil pointy teeth when I do!
52. Aliens or ghosts? Aliens! Ghosts actually terrify me ._.
53. Vampires or werewolves? Vampires. Seriously, have you seen girls with sharp teeth? Literally the best.
54. Ok or okay? Usually I use ok. Sometimes I don’t. And that’s okay. It really depends on the context.
55. Glass half empty or glass half full? I’m trying to become a glass half full person, but I’m definitely a glass half empty person. I’m pessimistic.
56. Dolls or stuffed animals? Stuffed animals are far better for cuddling.
57. Hot showers or cold showers? Always hot showers. I shower when I’m cold, so I need hot water to warm myself up.
58. Astrology or MBTI? I generally lean towards MTBTI, since my astrological sign changed when they added that one extra sign. I still consider myself an Aquarius (though I don’t really take either MBTI or astrology seriously; it’s just fun stuff to consider). As for my MBTI type, I’m an INTP.
59. Times New Roman or Calibri? Calibri. It has a nice name. Times New Romance…did I just type Times new Romance? Nice job, me.
60. Digital art or traditional art? While I doodle all day in my binder, I prefer to draw on my tablet. That way, I can erase my mistakes.
61. Starry Night or Mona Lisa? Starry Night ftw
62. Nutella or peanut butter? You can hate me all you want, but I like peanut butter better. I guess I’m not huge into hazel nuts (which are in Nutella).
63. John Cena or Rickroll? I can’t rickroll on my trumpet, so clearly the John Cena theme. No, really. It’s pretty easy to play, actually.
64. Windows or Mac? I come from a long family of Windows users. I have been born into my place already.
65. Hard pretzels or soft pretzels? I like my pretzels like me; soft. I do like hard pretzels, though. Just not as much.
66. Goldfish or Cheez-its? I love goldfish, to be quite honest. They’re always so happy.
67. Peaches or plums? I haven’t had a plum in ages, so I’d have to say peaches. I’ll have to try one again sometime soon.
68. Piercings or tattoos? It depends on the person they’re on.
69. Jumping in leaves or jumping in puddles? I jump in puddles a lot, to be honest. Do I immediately regret it afterwards? You bet.
70. Visual learner or auditory learner? I’m actually neither! I am a tactile learner-I have to be doing things to actually understand anything. This is because I space out very, very easily.
71. Shipping or casually being in fandoms? Actually, I’m neither. I like to stay as far away from fandoms as possible. Most of the things I like have very trashy fandoms. Even looking at fan art sometimes is a struggle for me. Come on, I just wanted fan art without THAT. Is that too much to ask?!?
72. Singing or dancing? I can’t do either, but I sing a lot.
73. Deep space or deep sea? Deep sea! Have you seen some of the creatures down there? They’re rad.
74. Board games or video games? Definitely video games. Board games usually require other people to play with you.
75. Wine or beer? Neither. My medicines are very reactive, so I avoid drinking.
76. Facial hair or clean shaven? I generally prefer clean shaven guys, but some people can really rock facial hair.
77. Sausage or bacon? I prefer sausage. In all due honesty, I’m not huge into bacon. Yes, I said it. Sue me.
78. Snakes or sharks? I think both are really, really cool. If I had to pick, I’d say snakes…but not by much.
79. Evening shower or morning shower? I shower at night. It’s a great way to calm down and relax.
80. Glasses or contacts? Have you seen people with glasses? Best.
81. Hardwood or carpet? Carpet isn’t cold on my feet, so definitely carpet.
82. Fiction or nonfiction? I prefer fiction. If I am to read, I want to immerse myself in a land of fantasy.
83. Jello or pudding? Pudding! I associate pudding with marching band trips, so I prefer pudding.
84. Early morning studying or right before the test studying? I usually cram study five minutes before a test. I have trouble remembering things, so studying is usually pointless for me.
85. Long nails or short nails? Due to my nervous habits, I often claw at my face. Having long nails doesn’t help with that.
86. Love letters or serenades? I love to sing to my sweetheart, who claims I have a good voice. I think this is an attempt to make me feel better about it lol
87. Long hugs or short ones? Long hugs. I love hugs. Hugs are the best.
88. Chamomile or lavender? I like lavender better, personally. It’s also more soothing to me.
89. Little spoon or big spoon? I am such a little spoon. Unfortunately, I am the little spoon that likes being the big spoon, but cannot.
90. Texting or calling? I prefer texting. Calling people isn’t fun. It makes me uncomfortable.
91. One episode per week or marathoning? Neither, really. I prefer to watch a couple each day and finish it in three or so days. I also like to take huge breaks before starting new series, especially anime.
92. Glitter or jazz hands? Okay, I like jazz hands. Glitter is cool, but I already have glitter in my life. I need jazz hands. Oh, and more cowbell.
93. Cake or pie? I prefer pie. I have no real reason for this. Cake’s okay, it’s just sometimes a bit dry. Maybe it’s my love for berries that makes pies more appealing. Or maybe it’s because the word pie is amazing.
94. Bowling or skating? Definitely bowling. I have skated (and ice skated) a couple times. All of them were disasters; I am too uncoordinated.
95. Pizza or pasta? Why must you make me choose? I love both! If I really had to, I’d maybe say pasta (since it’s a lot more versatile). That doesn’t mean I would give up pizza, though.
96. Nail polish or eyeshadow? Nail polish doesn’t usually get in my eyes, so nail polish.
97. Movies in the theater or at home? At home. That way, I can multitask.
98. Eggnog or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate! Eggnog is just okay, if you ask me. It’s also a seasonal thing-hot chocolate is usually all winter.
99. Hoods or hats? Hoods. I don’t look good in hats.
100. Private confessions or public anon confessions? You tell me! I’ll be doing confessions in a few days as well.

The odd numbers and everyone
This is very long. As soon as I can, I’ll fix the format and then add files for the art style question. Thanks for the ask :)
1. What’s their full name? If they’re an alien and their name is in their native planet’s language, have you thought about what it means?
Venk'asel'vaio follows Chiss naming conventions so that the core name is Kaselv which I just liked the sound of. Caijunx does not follow traditional Mirialan naming conventions as they typically deal with nature, but again the aesthetic is what I liked, and his lack of family name is significant for his estrangement from/loss of family. Sash'ari includes the suffix “ari” which means lord/king in Sith and suits his pretentiousness. Finally, “Kebiin” means “blue” in Mando'a and well Kebiin is Chiss– does not follow Chiss naming conventions and he doesn’t use the name which would have.
3. What kind of video games would they play? Any specific titles?Disclaimer: I don’t know lots of video games. Like none at all. Sorry
KASELV(Huniepop/whatever hellish dating sims zili “gifted” him) No, he would play mostly strategy games on his own time, usually with a military theme, and other shooter types in his free time. Specific titles I can’t think of right now but not like CoD or anything of that quality. CAIJUNXIf he had the chance to play even he wouldn’t be very picky, probably some nice, popular like Overwatch. Honestly he would play whatever he is invited to play with a friend and wouldn’t do much else on his own. SASH'ARI Struggles through indie games “you’ve never heard off” just to look better. Also whatever is new, in demand, and therefore expensive he actually enjoys. KEBIINI can see him playing Skyrim maybe but running around without much in the way of clothes shouting chickens off cliffs or something. So not picky with games because he just wants to have fun.
5. What’s their favorite type of weather? Do they like to do anything specific on days when the weather is how they like it?
KASELV Chilly is his favorite temperature. However, the weather in Kaas City is rarely that, or at least rarely at a moderate humidity. When he was in chilly weather, he would spend some time outside but not do much more than stroll/walk.CAIJUNXCai on the other hand prefers warmer weather, like what is attributed usually to late spring. He loves to spend time outside regardless of the weather, enjoying his ventures into the Dromund Kaas jungle and sometimes even visits there on his own, often after dark. SASH'ARIMild or at least low humidity– can’t have any ridge rash detracting from his look. He isn’t super prone to the outdoors but will enjoy the occasional walk or training conducted outside. KEBIINAny temperature is a good temperature, but cooler places with crisp air are the best! He spends a lot of his time outside anyway and so the weather doesn’t really matter. Should the weather be nice, he would be more inclined to take the day as a break to enjoy it.
7. What kind of animals would they like as a pet? What names would they give their pets if they got any? If they already have pet’s what are their names?
KASELVKas would only want very tame, quiet, clean pets. He wouldn’t really have the ability to care for an organic pet as he does not spend a lot of time in his apartment. The pet he does have, somewhat canonically, is a mouse droid, named Spice by Zilithar. That name was chosen because it was a “gift” from a patient who was suffering from spice-related illness. Yes, I understand how that is exactly like naming your dog “weed.”CAIJUNXOhhh any pet really! He adopts most of the animals he keeps around, his favorite being his red gizka Zia (Dradzia which means rose if I remember correctly), as well as a womp weasel kept around from the lab. Even his tuk'ata, Iunkos (Little), was rescued because she was the runt of her litter. SASH'ARIExotic pets to showcase wealth and power, but preferably cute as well. Whatever the SWTOR equivalent of a tea cup chihuahua would be, he would have it, but suprisingly enough, he would love it. Names would be tricky to decide but affectionate.KEBIINThe mouse droid he shares now with Nysro is very much a diva, and so he has no other pets currently. He wouldn’t have much preference over pets, although likes larger ones that can showcase power or keep up with him on hunts as every bounty hunter should have.
9. How do they write? Do they write in cursive? How do they dot their i’s and j’s? Do they have specific ways that they write certain letters?I assume this is meant to be adapted as if they were writing English in a modern setting
KASELVHe would write with very blocky, neat letters, something you would expect from an architect. CAIJUNXYou know that mishmash of cursive and print letters? That would be Cai’s handwriting.SASH'ARISasha would write with primarily cursive, and the amount of style put into it makes it difficult to read although pretty.KEBIINSurprisingly better than chicken scratch. Not something he cares about, but at least it’s legible.
11. What kinds of foods and drinks do they like? Do they like certain foods to be fried? Do they prefer certain foods to be prepared hot/cold?
KASELVUnlike typical Chiss cuisine, Kas will only eat bland foods when needed to be polite, otherwise he prefers dishes with actual flavor. I’ve mentioned before that pies/tarts are a fallback for him as they are easy to make and transport. In terms of drinks, he takes his alcohol and water cold and everything else warm; iced caf would be meaningless to him. CAIJUNXThis little man could probably live off a corn chip a month but he can actually eat a ton, and fried food would be no problem. Pickles? Candies? Batter it up and he’s still game for it. Most drinks he like are colder, and the alcoholic ones are at least 75% fruit juice typically, but he enjoys warm tea (or hot chocolate) every now and then.SASH'ARISasha eats a lot of fish actually for its health benefit and most everything he eats also has to exhibit wealth. Drinks are typically cold and a lot of wine although he’s barely legal. KEBIIN Spice!! As in spicy foods, not the drug. Being a Mando, spice is a diet staple, but he is also accustoming his pallet to sweeter dishes as he spends more domestic time with Nysro (that’s the bf). Drinks are really anything, mostly alcohol– he’d even have that warm what a freak.
13. If you are an artist, and if your OC can draw as well, could you replicate what their artstyle looks like? Or, if you can’t, could you describe it?
Aahh I can try to replicate even if they don’t draw well (I don’t either it’s ok)!!
15. How do they type? Do they use emojis? Do abbreviate and shorten words?
KASELV Kas is the most grammatically correct of them all, and would only shorten words if in a hurry or with someone he was close to maybe. I hope any others like paragraphs. CAIJUNX Once he learns slang, Cai would use it and use abbreviations. Probably misuses emojis a lot. “😄🎉” like a mom. SASH'ARIWrites with average amount of abbreviations and emojis, but overuses them when he doesn’t like you. 🆒 ⛽️📧✝ 🔙KEBIIN Kebiin uses a fair deal of abbreviations, would rather send a series of short texts than a long one. The only emojis he would use are love ones like ❤️❤️❤️ and he’d use those excessively.
17. If your OC was a musical artist, what genres would they do?
KASELVI associate him most with soft rock so maybe that.CAIJUNXLike Kas, he seems more indie to me, so maybe that or like Disney songs lmaoSASH'ARIHe actually does sing pop and showtunes in canon. KEBIINRock again, perhaps? He would listen most to hard rock/metal or genres like that, so I guess that would work.
19. Does your OC like to collect things? What kind of things do they collect?
KASELVKas is wary about attachment especially to material items and so does not have collections of his own but he has been attempting to collect and save trinkets he receives from friends.CAIJUNXCai hasn’t had much experience with travel but when he does, he would make sure to keep assorted trinkets and touristy items from planets he explores. What he collects currently is more along the lines of small Sith artifacts and animal things. Maybe pets too ahaha. SASH'ARIDoes money count? No, Sasha collects a few assorted trinkets/memorabilia especially from performances he is involved in, and on his body he collects jewelry and piercings. KEBIINKebiin collects primarily trophies from hunts, like claws, horns, and other odd appendages, and has begun making a habit of technical odds and ends gathered to see if Nysro can make use of them.
