Emma and Celeste feel safest with each other.
Thomas considers himself safest when he is in control and not at risk of being undermined or questioned.
Theo feels safe when he has space to himself. Usually he sits in his star tent or turns to William.
Miranda tends to feel safer alone because she doesn't think she can trust anyone. She's working on it, though, and she'll come to feel safe when Theo is holding her.
What makes your OC feel safe? Are there any specific objects, places, or people that your OC turns to in order to feel safe?

Random new decision: Mirandaā€™s therapist is Rachel Clark. I originally didnā€™t give her a first name, but because of ā€œLate to the Partyā€ (peak Theo-POV Miradore anthem), she gets to be Rachel.

What kind of spirit do you think Felassan waz?
Swag
#ą“¦ąµą“¦ą“æ Ė‰ĶˆĢ€ź’³Ė‰ĶˆĢ )āœ§#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age the veilguard spoilers#<- this is my spoiler tag#dragon age: dreadwolf#dragon age 4#the dread wolf rises#da4#dragon age#bioware#video games#mjs mailbag#robotslenderman#felassan#Best Elf#no but on a serious note its a great question and one which ive been thinkin about a lot#did Felassan manifest from the Fade or was he born in the early days still but of others who had manifested before him?#and if he did manifest from the Fade what kind of spirit was he. lets say for fun for this post that#he was a spirit. I feel like there's quite a few different things that could work in that scenario#he has wit in terms of smarts & snark & whimsy. he was part of a movement that opposed tyranny and valued freedom. back then he wanted#to protect innocents. he's charismatic and good w/ people. he was a loyal friend to solas and later on was loyal to briala. he's calm and#level-headed. steady. a slow arrow makes its way to its target/goal slowly but steadily and you dont see it coming#Wit.. Loyalty.. Friendship.. Freedom.. Steadfastness.. Charm.. Protection.. Resolve.. Duty#my personal hc atm tho is- if he was- Guidance ā—•ā€æā—•. ā€œ'I kindled nothing' Felassan said. [...] 'I merely offered guidance.'"#he spent the rebellion guiding an army as a General and giving Solas guidance on how to be a good leader interact w/ people be the face#of a rebellion and to stay on the right path as one of his advisors. later he was Briala's hahren/elder giving her guidance through TME#he signs codexes like ask for the slow arrow and i will help/guide you. he was looking after those of flesh and fade in the lighthouse#guidance can be given from both a second-in-command (subordinate) role and from a superior (elder to mentee) role#when we see him in a memory Solas welcomes the spirits in elven then says ā€œlasa ghilanā€ which means grant/give guidance#and the very next thing that happens is that Felassan speaks. an Arrow gives direction. it POINTS THE WAY..

For Celeste, sarcastically apologizing to Emma for Elaine's impending separation. That was a particularly low blow. The second-worst thing would be pinning a panic-stricken Emma to the wall.
For Emma, shoving Celeste after the aforementioned sarcastic apology.
For Theo, kissing Celeste.
For Miranda, accusing Theo of playing the long game, then screaming at him to go away.
For Elaine, trying to leave Emma and James. They both developed adjustment disorders as a result.
what's the worst thing your oc's ever done to someone they care about?

Mu Qing is currently listening to a backlog of prayers one of his deputy officials tossed aside as unimportant, just in case Xie Lian prayed to him these past few centuries and he missed it. Until now, all of them are asinine, but he keeps going, though he's starting to zone out until he hears a child's voice:
"Xuan Zhen, Shixiong said I can ask you stuff. I want tea eggs for dinner."
Mu Qing blinks. It's not the first time a child asks him for something inane, but this prayer came from a very prestigious temple, only visited by serious cultivators, so it's odd. Perhaps the boy snook in, and it's unlikely he'll hear him again since it's likely he was caught after this.
Mu Qing keeps listening,
"Xuan Zhen, kill Jian Yu."
Ah.
So he wasn't caught.
"Xuan Zhen, where's Shixiong, he said he'd be back by now."
"Xuan Zhen, why is Jian Yu so ugly?"
Mu Qing is quickly losing his patience, how come nobody has caught the child yet?
Then he hears a young man's voice.
"O' General Xuan Zhen, the strongest of the Southern Generals, can you kill this brat? Can you make him explode? Who's ugly, huh? Please."
Then, the child's voice again
"Xuan Zhen, steal Jian Yu's teeth."
"O' General Xuan Zhen, the worthiest of the Southern Generals, this believer begs you to yeet this brat into a volcano, pretty please and thanks."
"Xuan Zhen why does Shixiong smell so good? Can you make us change rooms so I share with him."
"O' General Xuan Zhen, the wisest of the Southern Generals, that little shit took a piss on my shoes. Please, please can you make the bitch that birthed him come pick him up and take him AWAY. Thanks."
"Xuan Zhen, I want Shixiong to stop being angry at me for pissing on Jian Yu's shoes. Also, kill Jian Yu. Also, can you make it so Shixiong has more time to spar with me?"
"O' General Xuan Zhen, the ONLY God of the South as far as I'm concerned, you know? Fuck that other guy, what was his name? Dickneral? Haha. ANYWAYS. Can you just kill this kid? Kill him a little? Nobody has to know, please just make him LEAVE."
"Xuan Zhen, for my birthday I want a Shixiong Hug, and a nice belt that matches my Shixiong's. And That Shixiong keeps being angry forever at Jian Yu for burning my blankets! And that Jian Yu eats shit and dies."
Mu Qing is about to lose it. He cannot be wasting his time with this.
Then a new voice, another young man, prays calmly:
"General Xuan Zhen, this one apologizes my Shidis keep shouting their prayers out loud in your temples, I've taken care of it, please don't strike them dead. I'll light ten incense sticks in your honor, thank you."
Then, the prayers coming from that temple change to the usual stream of begging for protection and guidance cultivating.

Elaine has some undefined position or other at a cupcake store called HappySprinkles; we learn at one point she's applying to be in charge of its business planning. At the suggestion of @stayinggoldforpony, James is a teacher. Miranda is a pianist-flutist in a band.
None of the teens work currently, but here are some careers I'd imagine them having:
Emma would make a good speech-language pathologist.
Celeste goes into civil engineering.
The Gray brothers might both be biomedical engineers, but if Theo decides on something else, he'd be a child psychologist and/or writer.
Whatā€™s your OCā€™s occupation?

For the record, I do think that Miranda takes it upon herself to reunite with Theo and that they get it right the second time. They get married.

I'm proud to say I don't think Luo Binghe would like to eat his boyfriends pussy. He'll do it but bitch he's not here for that. For 1 Binghe is absolutely the kind of guy who wants to see the whole body come undone not just have Shen Yuan tug on his hair. 2 the man's favorite places to kiss are things like forehead, hands, cheeks, he's a foreplay from the waist up man.
He'd fingerblast to next year granted but Shizun asks for a kiss and a downstairs buffet he says yes but in his head he's thinking about how much he just wants to massage and bite that man's shoulders/chest and touch every part of his skin till they're the same person. He needs to use his hands and teeth simultaneously and not doing so is bad for his health. Man can't dine on pussy alone. Shizun let me fingerblast you from the front while taking you from behind while I cradle you in my arms and scream how you love me!!!!! Shizun plssssssss!!!!

Why would you make them say boyfriend girlfriend aren't they boyfriends
yes they are both boys and therefore boyfriends. but also based on the society in which he lives i donā€™t think naruto would have a real understanding of being gay besides ā€œsome boys look like girls. and i like sasuke so much that it makes everyone uncomfortableā€.
i think he would probably initially try to cast sasuke in the role of ā€œmy girlfriendā€ despite also finding sasuke very traditionally masculine in many ways. and i donā€™t think sasuke would especially mind because sasuke does not care about gender or what people think of him

Miranda Hayes came from my being an unhappy, venting pianist-flutist who felt good at neither instrument and feared her inability to commit to practicing outside of orchestra made her a selfish girl who would make a terrible mother. I only needed to spend a short story with her for my creative writing class, and she's not a character in the musical whose future continuity she inhabits. I do have ideas about what lies ahead for her, though, even if they won't become full-fledged stories.
Question for those who write one-time OCs.
How?
I would get attached to them and write more stories about them instead of going "one and done."

Miranda Hayes [@build-a-problem-musical]
25; a fearful-avoidant pianist-flutist who is her band's only multi-instrumentalist and by far its most popular member. Having never pursued the classical route in which she had dabbled in her youth, Miranda feels half-baked at both instruments, if not missing certain ingredients altogether, and she loathes being thought of as a role model or an inspirational figure. Her struggle largely proceeds from a childhood of comparisons to her older sister Alice, a fellow musician with a seeming plethora of gifts. Miranda is greatly terrified of hurting her future children and being undeserving of their love--a fear with some precedent after her inability to trust her previous boyfriend Theo led her to break up with him. While awaiting her therapy session, she begins to sit with and confront her complicated thoughts on grief, identity, and perception to make way for herself to heal.
Nikki Way [Clans of the Coyote-Girl @ The_Anonymous_Coauthor]
A spitfire ten-year-old Crow Indian and accomplished thief, Nikki was abducted by a spooky man who forced her to steal and spy for him. It was then that she ran into Riser Way, who proceeded to adopt her and take her home to the Crow Reservation in Montana. Reckless and brave and foul-mouthed and honorable, there is nothing Nikki wants more than to grow up to be just like her adopted dad.
