#Uncommon Questions for OCs and their creators

[popfizzles]

34) How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt? 

Macintosh has got a horrible fear of bugs, has had it since he was a little kid.

Smith can't help but think it's all his fault.

15. How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?

Being an experienced businessman (and con artist, not to mention a criminal), Rift always knows what to say, and he knows what others want to hear, making it easy to trick them and get whatever he wants.

He is not a toon of many words, sticking to what's strictly necessary, hating small talk and seeing it as a waste of time, if he needs to know something then he will go straight to the point and expect a just as straight answer.

He has default answers to a lot of questions, mostly business related, replying almost automatically and even a bit mechanic “No, there’s no refunds” “You lost? shame, better luck next time” “You got a complaint about the deal? Well you should have paid more attention to what you were signing” and do not make him repeat himself, unless you don’t mind getting shocked.

8. What were they told to stop/start doing more often as a child ?

for Maple

She would have been told to stop being scared and start sticking up for herself many times-

When she was a kid, she was kind of a doormat, so people would pick on her easily. But she also had the "I don't wanna be mean" and "I don't wanna hurt anyone" mindset, which made it hard for her to defend herself-

[rosey-mango]

If you’re still doing the OC asks 1, 14, and 26 :]

For uhh whoever

Imma do Sadie in HFTTMNT since she's the one I have more info to share about

Not long. Her ADHD won't let her, so around 10 minutes tops.

Funny enough, spiders. She's not scared of anything else, BUT spiders. Even if she is one, she was human at one point, and that fear never went away.

Running on foot. She's pretty fast and can even run on all fours if needed. Plus, she thinks it's easier to land an attack if she doesn't have to worry about jumping from a moving vehicle.

Though, if she did have to choose a vehicle, a motorcycle would be acceptable.

Thank you for the asks! I've been waiting for this XD

For Sruathan! I totally didnt search for his name spelling, no way. 2, 8, A, and D!!!

2. How easy is it for your character to laugh? It's easy to get a small chuckle or hum of amusement from him. But big raucous laughter is harder to get from him. Definitely a delight when it does happen! :D

8. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child Sruthán liked to run off a lot! When his parents were distracted with chores, he'd often scamper off to the nearby river. In town, he'd try to get down to the docks to watch the ships on the water. Eventually, his parents stopped trying to fight it, and would take the time to go with him.

A) Why are you excited about this character? For one thing, I'm very excited to play as a Wild Magic sorcerer! It's such a fun and silly class. It's also really fun having to do research to make a character. Because his main inspiration is an Irish character, I thought it'd be fun to use Irish myth, culture, and language to build his character a bit more, even if I'm putting a ~ * fantasy * ~ twist in there. I don't know what it is about Sruthán specifically (although it's probably his main inspo...), but I'm also having a lot of fun building his story, creating his family and his relationships with them, his job, his desires as a person.

D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look? I love you so much so why are you making me acknowledge this? Can't we all just pretend that I didn't do the thing we all know I did??? Fine... He was always destined to look like Jared Harris. That was, unfortunately, the first thing that was decided when making the character. I've been pretty consistent with his design ((having an actual face that i've drawn a million times now makes that pretty easy lmao)), but I like adding or changing small details. His right ear fin is damaged, so I've added some more scarring around that since he was originally designed. No big changes, and their probably won't be. I just remembered that I was planning on giving him tattoos so, rip to me I guess.

[sparrowsingsstories]

For Sparrow: 1, 4, 28, & 39?

Thank you and I'm sorry it took me so long to respond!

What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do? Well, it depends. If she's scoping out a job, she can sit still and quiet for as long as it takes. But generally, she's a little ball of energy. She's always doing something - even if that something is fidgeting with a stuffed animal while watching Bean clean.

4. How easy is it to earn their trust? No. She's been hurt too many times. She trusts Canary and Birdie because she followed at watched them. And because they didn't lie to her. Canary has never lied to her. She trusts Bean because she understands what it's like to not feel like you fit in. But everybody else? They have to earn her trust. And she's pretty darn good at reading people. So, for instance, Darcy's adopted father figure, Luke? She trusts him fairly quickly because he is true feeling. But Darcy? Her trust in him grows. Mercy? It comes in starts and stops. Deacon? She trusts him a little faster because she's watched "Glasses" for years. Danse? It takes FOREVER. Because he lies to himself - and she can tell. Plus, the BOS, in general, is a lie. At least to her. That said - Sturges? She trusts him almost immediately. Who doesn't love him??

28. Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth? No. Sparrow would rather the truth be told. Don't sugar coat it. Just tell her. And she tried not to lie. She knows that she, sometimes has to - especially when helping her Mama with an infiltration...but she'd point out that infiltration is important work. So sure - she told Maxson she was a 12 year old orphan. SURE she tugged on his heartstrings to get info on the BOS. But she'd also point out that nobody asked them to fly into the Commonwealth and create a huge old stink. Also...infiltrating Nuka World to save her birth mother and siblings was important and lying to raiders doesn't count. But don't sugar coat the truth to spare her feelings. That, in the end, hurts her more.

39. How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people? Depends on the flaw. Are we talking about an excessively flirtatious personality (Darcy) or a deep OCD need to keep their environs clean (Levi) or that whole paranoia thing (Canary) or rabid fear of germs (Birdie)...I mean, she'd say we all have flaws. She's full of them and everybody loves her anyways. Nobody's perfect. Take Sean for example - very charming, super sweet, fun to be around...fucks Sturges in the vertibird with the door open, is a right dumbass, used to be a BOS Lancer, whines when doing morning runs...she doesn't hold that against him. Well, the entire "almost public sex thing" gets on her nerves because she got stuck in the vertibird once and saw more of her adopted brother (Sturges) than she ever wanted to see...but I mean, she still loves Sean and didn't even think about stabbing him. Not even a little bit. She loves MacCready and he nags her non-stop. She does call him MacDaddy but honestly, she'd point out it's her Mama's fault. Anyways - everybody has flaws and as long as they aren't like...murder...she's alright with them.

[multiplicity-positivity]

Here’s some positivity for plural singlets and plurallets!

Not every plural person identifies as a system, multiple, or fully separated! In fact, it is quite possible to be both plural and a singlet at the same time. While these experiences may be rare or uncommon, plural singlets have always been and will always be integral members of our community. This post goes out to all the plural singlets out there!

🌼 Shoutout to plural singlets who feel plural due to having imaginary friends!

💚 Shoutout to plural singlets who conceptualize their mind as more than one without having separate, distinct identities!

🦋 Shoutout to plural singlets who feel like a herd of deer, a flock of birds, a school of fish, or a large group of selves sharing one mind and body!

🌿 Shoutout to plural singlets who are still questioning and trying to learn about their experiences!

⭐️ Shoutout to plural singlets whose plurality falls somewhere between being a singlet and being a system!

🌱 Shoutout to plural singlets who have daemons, paros, thoughtforms, or other brain-made headmates without identifying as a system!

🔷 Shoutout to plural singlets who are unsure whether or not they belong in the plural community (heads up - if you want to be here, then you do belong!)!

🌲 Shoutout to plural singlets who have a complex dissociative disorder and have reached a state of fusion that allows them to function and identify as a singlet!

✨ Shoutout to plural singlet creators who share their mind with their characters and OCs!

🍃 Shoutout to plural singlets with parts, aspects, fragments, facets, or other system members who are not fully formed headmates!

💙 Shoutout to plural singlets who identify as median, parasian, medianflux, or midcontinuum!

☘️ Shoutout to plural singlets who love their multiplicity and have embraced their plurality and the way they interact with the plural framework!

Plural singlets, please know that you are wanted here. You are just as plural as anyone else in this community, and our space is your space as much as anyone else’s! We are so happy to have you here, and we hope that the plural community can provide you with a home, a respite, and a place of belonging. Regardless of how your plural journey is going, if you’re questioning, if your plural label fluctuates, or if you sometimes aren’t sure whether or not you’re plural, know that you are welcome here as long as you want to be here! We’re rooting for you, and we’re wishing you the very best in all that you do. Please do your best to take care of yourself, and have a lovely day!

[confessions-sm]

Answering what was just sent to the blog, because I don't want to post the ask sent in question:

The OC is a furry

The OC acts, behaves and (practically) has the same anatomy of a human (I say "practically" because it has no private parts), it is humanoid and is not full-on an animal

It's not uncommon for people to make furry x human or even creature x human ships

Edit: I have added that this whole post was light-hearted, but a few minutes ago I found out that you sent anon hate to the OC creator

Do not fucking do that

3) How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)

I think Smith is the type of guy who can lay down pretty much anywhere and conk out within 3 minutes, boots and all.

He works his ass off all day, so by the time he finally gets to sit down and relax, he's out like a light. He also sleeps like a rock and snores like a freight train.

Mac and Goldie know when to leave him alone so he rest :)

[from this prompt list]

[dreambones]

Most of the time, Barley keeps a pretty decent self-esteem, or at least a positive view of it, but she still has trouble dealing with some of her flaws, mainly the physical ones.

So far, hiding what she doesn't like has proven to be the most effective one, tho it's not the healthiest approach tbh.

[Uncommon questions for OCs and their creators]

40. How sensitive are they to their own flaws?

[memento-morii-ua]

#10 for maple :3

She doesn't lie much (unless it's to herself), but she regrets telling people she's okay when she's blatantly not-

[carlarosenakilah]

(uncommon questions for ocs and creators) 3 for Christine and Teacup

Christine just loves singing and reading bed time stories to Teacup so the lil cup can sleep. Now with her new work life, she has help with the cupbrothers who also like to tell Teacup stories before she sleeps. Teacup would get beautiful and mythical tales from Mugman, comforting made up stories from Christine, and Cuphead rambling to her about his old adventures making sure she has a good dream about a good adventure.

How Christine puts herself to sleep is just tossing and turning around her bed. If that does not help, then she stares out of the window watching the stars shine brightly with the city lights.

9, 11, 13, & 15 for hector :D

(Uncommon Questions for OCs and Their Creators)

9. Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?

Hector does not swear very often. Prior to the nautiloid I'm fairly sure he didn't at all, but it enters his vocabulary a little once he's spending large amounts of time with Karlach.

The most notable example is probably him cussing out Gortash on the way to the Iron Throne. :P

11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?

It depends a little on the scenario. If he's within range of a library, he will be going to do Research like the book nerd that he is. Lacking that, he's pretty comfortable with asking questions to clarify a situation if need be.

13. What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?

Hector tends to wear ensembles of blue, black, and white/silver. He likes how he looks in them and he is correct that he looks hot as fuck. (He's kind of hot as fuck in anything though. XD )

15. How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?

Hector is not a tremendously talkative sort; he tends to listen more than he talks, and he speaks gently and precisely with fairly erudite grammar. The exception is if you get him talking about something he's interested in (generally Sword Coast historical subjects), in which case he will infodump. XD (The moment when he fell in love with Karlach was absolutely when she started infodumping at *him* about demons. :P )

[thatmivy]

OP'S CHOICE! 9 and 19!

Answering with two characters bc they're both on my mind!!

9. Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word? Parka Ergoth does swear, but not often. He mostly uses tame swears like damn, hell, or bastard. When he's really stressed or frustrated he might drop something a bit harsher, but it takes a lot to get him there. He remembers calling his childhood bullies jackasses- to their faces.

Sruthán swears a lot. Actual swears and using everyday words to offend. He grew up hearing his mother swear a lot, so he definitely learned from her. He doesn't remember, but his mother tells him that he called her a bitch once when she wouldn't give him something he wanted.

19. What is their favorite number? Parka's favorite number is 3! It's a lucky number in his religion, 3 gods, 3 planes, 3 parts of a person (body, mind, and magic).

Sruthán likes 14. He likes the sound of 'four' but also likes the teen numbers.
