8 or 9 for Shayne, 14, 20, 25, 26, 32, 33, 34 pls <3

Thanks so much, anon! Sorry for the wait 🖤

Ask Game

8. Is there a certain song or playlist of songs you have that make you think of an OC/your story for them?

Shayne is my main comfort character, and I associate a lot of songs with him, but here's a list of some that are specifically on my Swallow the World playlist because they specifically make me think of him:

"RIP", "Teeth", and "Eye for an Eye" by 8 Graves (honestly, all of their music is a Shayne Vibe for me)

"Little Poor Me" by Layto

"Spit it Out" and "Wish I Wasn't Me" by Solence

"Over It" by Memphis May Fire

There are some that I specifically associate with Shayne and his relationship with Charlie:

"Lovely" cover by Lauren Babic

"Looks Like Rain" by The New Shining

"Beautiful Way" by You Me At Six

"Heaven" by Solence

9. What is one of your character's theme songs?

If I had to pick just one, it'd be "Eye for an Eye" by 8 Graves.

14. Which OC/s do you relate to the most?

I relate most to Shayne and Felix. 

20. Do any of you OCs have pets? What kind? NAME?

Right now, Nancy is the only one from Swallow the World who has a pet. He’s a chameleon and his name is Turquoise (mushroom anon yelled at me about this before so now I’m scared lmao)

There may or may not be another pet who’ll be introduced... eventually. I’m way too excited about it not to give you guys something, though, so let’s just say that her name is going to be Three.

In Lucyverse, Donnacha has a dog back home! She’s a golden lab/mongrel named Millie and she’s a big, goofy sweetheart. 

25. Are there any two characters that are like a dynamic duo/group?

Shayne / Charlie - I mean, come on. 

Elliott / Felix - always a crowd pleaser. 

Shayne / Felix - Shayne gets so freaked out by how intense Felix can get, it’s adorable.

Shayne / Elliott - these two idiots can barely function as individuals, let alone take care of each other.

Ryan / Nancy - one’s an airhead, the other uses too much logic. Recipe for (heavenly) disaster.

Rin / Charlie - neither of them ever had a friend who was so unconditionally kind to them before. They have a really beautiful friendship based on careful listening and responding to the other’s needs.

Lucy / Henry - neither of them has their life together, yet they will always try to fix the other.

Donnacha / Henry - my dumb, queerplatonic boys, I love them, that is all.

Payton / Autumn - they’re both so perfectly sweet, I find they’re an extremely self-indulgent couple to think about.

Autumn / Claudette - best friends with no secrets and no sense of embarrassment around each other.

26. What’s your favourite relationship/dynamic between a set of OCs?

This might be the most obvious answer, but Shayne x Charlie. There’s so much angst going on there and if I was really mean, I’d let it go on forever (but I don’t, because they do, in fact, deserve to be happy. Eventually. Hehe.)

32. What’s been the most ambitious project you’ve made/are making surrounding your characters?

Hmmm. Off-blog, I have about three novel ideas that I want to finish working on, but I have also considered turning Swallow the World into a novel too, editing it a lot more, and maybe (maybe?!) self-publishing it someday. Whether it would be quite as indulgent in *ahem* certain aspects or not, remains to be seen. I’d hate to have a book out there and not to able to tell any of the people in my life about it. 

33. Have you ever had to kill off an OC? How hard was it?

One of my off-blog projects actually revolves around the death of an OC. It wasn’t difficult, particularly because of the devastation it causes the protagonist. Another angsty boi. Who would have guessed?

34. What scene that you’ve written/imagined is your favorite?

One I always come back to is the scene that takes place in Shoes on the Covers, one of the first chapters I ever posted on my blog. I definitely plan on rewriting it someday, and getting rid of the first-person POV. Shayne shows up at Charlie’s house after having a really horrible day, before they’ve even become friends, and acts like an asshole as Charlie continues to be kind to him, until he eventually winds down and admits he’s not feeling well, and lets Charlie try to take care of him... Guys, it’ll never not make me feel warm and cosy inside.

34-46 for Shane pls lol

34. What’s their room look like right now?

Shayne’s currently keeping his room at Ryan and Nancy’s very neat and tidy so he doesn’t have to feel like a burden, or like he owes them anything, and other Grumpy Boy Things.

35. What are they like as a friend?

If you’re his friend, he will do anything you need him to do, whether it’s just getting something from your car or disappearing into the woods for days on end.

36. What are they like as a partner?

Same as above, with the addition that his love can sometimes look a lot like anger if he feels threatened. There can be difficult times where he seems distant, but that’s just when his partner needs to really let him know they’re there for him.

37. Do they have any phobias?

His two main fears stem from being controlled by Madelyn and Watson for so long, the biggest being restraint. If he’s even touched by someone he doesn’t know and trust, it can send him right back to when he used to be manhandled and forced to devour demons. The second one is triggered when it seems like someone is trying to control his food intake, by either denying him food or forcing it on him.

38. Did/do they go anywhere special for vacations?

Nope! Shayne had never left the town he grew up in until the day he first met Felix. His first “holiday” was technically Christmas at the Waters’ house.

39. Your character walks into a cafe. What do they order?

I love to think about the first few times he goes to a cafe with someone, he’d be so overwhelmed, he’d probably look at the person he’s with, gesture for them to go first and then order whatever they get. After a while though, he starts ordering soy lattes (he tries drinking black coffee like Charlie, but it’s just a bad idea, with how bad his stomach is).

40. What time do they go to bed, usually?

If he’s not already sleep by nine o’clock, he’ll probably be up until 2 or 3 a.m.

41. What’s their morning routine like?

On days where he’s feeling good and has things to do, he gets up with enough time to shower and dry his hair and get dressed without having to rush. His habit is to skip breakfast most mornings, but he’ll usually drink some water at least. On days where he’d not feeling so good, he’ll just keep lying in the same position until someone coaxes him out of it.

42. What’s the dumbest thing your character’s done?

Fell in love with a demon? Also, went to the home of a mentally-unstable school counsellor. Also, moved four hours away without consulting Charlie. Also, just getting in his own head all the time. He’s just a poor, silly boy.

43. What pokemon would your character be (if they’re already a pokemon/gijinka tell us what they are, and how that’s affected them)?

He would be a reverse Jigglypuff, that’s constantly grumpy until turned otherwise.

44. What’s their pokemon team? Try to pick all 6.

I never played Pokemon so I don’t know how forming teams works, but I imagine he’d go with the dark or ghost types! 

45. Theme song (and a playlist if you’ve got it!)

“Eye for an Eye” by 8 Graves. And yes, of course, I’ve got a playlist, who do you think you’re talking to? (”OK”, also by 8 Graves, “Little Poor Me” by Layto, “Lovely” (I know it’s by Bill/ie Eil/ish, but I prefer this cover) by Lauren Babic and Seraphim, “Colors” by Kulick (this one’s for him and Charlie), “PSYCHO” by AViVA, to name but a few!

46. If this character was in a musical, what would their motif be (what kind of instruments do you hear, what’s the tempo, ect).

Hmmmm. I’m picturing electric guitar, but played sort of softly. I don’t know enough about tempo to comment on that lol
