#a goat dabbling in hobbies

[soraka-in-warhammer40k]

Behold: the demon prince of the hydra!

You have no idea how liberating it was to paint those big wings after a week of chaos infantry trim. I really hope the purple was not the wrong choice for the skin... Love how the sword runes turned out tho.

All in all not too bad for a single session I'd say :)

[ashtxeman]

A small analysis of the Black Friday line and the townie's individual wants

some hc stuff dabbled in here (mostly for james shopper), but the majority is based on canon!

Sherman Young: A classic case of being spoiled, he's greedy, if he wants something he'll get it no matter what. He's got the power of a hot rich Mother on his side so, there was no way he wasn't going to be there. If he lacks something, he feels incomplete and he'll probably wine about it too. Wiggly to him is like the final piece in his collection, the crowning jewel of all toys. As long as he doesn't have him he's not going to be happy.

James Shopper/The Corrupt Man: He's a clone of Charles Coven, and struggles heavily with seperating himself from his creator. He sees Wiggly as a way to be somebody new. Also explains his attachment to Linda's cheque, good treasure and great coin y'know. Wiggly is an opportunity to have a hobby or interest outside of what he's inherited from Charles.. and his want for Wiggly is also excentuated by the very greed he got from Charles.

Linda Monroe: Wilbur said most of this himself, she's desperate for adoration and thinks she'll find it if she gives her bratty children what they want.. or what she assumes they would want. We know they would never have actually mentioned Wiggly or shown interest, but Linda as a very shallow minded individual when it comes to these things would take a look at Wiggly, think of him as the latest 'trend', and set off to get the dolls for her boys. But her children don't really matter in the grand scheme of things, she's getting the Wiggly for herself as a source of adoration. She gives it to people who want it, and in return to she gets that love she craves so deeply.

Becky Barnes: On a surface level Becky is there to get dolls for the children, but in actuality she more likely wants the doll because she feels empty and alone. After the incident with Stanley she probably helps those feelings by interacting with the children and helping them, but once the doll is introduced she's drawn to it as a permanent source of happiness. A cure. Children come and go, but Wiggly is forever.

Tom Houston: Tom thinks he's here for his son, in a similar way to Becky where he feels empty and alone since the loss of Jane but finds those feelings easier to bare when Tim is happy. But deep down, he's here for himself. He knows that eventually Tim is going to grow sick of him, he's convinced himself that Tim blames him for what happened and they're inevitably going to grow apart. He'll be left more alone than ever before. If he gets a Wiggly, he can impress Tim and make him happy, make him want to stay. Or maybe, if he gets one, Tim won't even matter anymore.. Because just like it is with Becky, children come and go, but Wiggly is forever.

Curt's Shopper/Mildy Peeved Mega: He mentions that he 'lost his job when the plant closed' and he's clearly low on funds given how he complains about Wiggly's price fluctuating, so it's pretty obvious he's here for a Wiggly because he thinks it can help him forget his employment and financial troubles. Being unemployed must suck, especially in Hatchetfield where the threat of homelessness means a whole lot more. He's desperate for a crutch to help him forget. And who knows, if he has a Wiggly maybe people will think his cool and they'll hire him.

The Homeless Man: Joey's actually said a lot about this on commentary and such. The Homeless Man really wasn't there for a Wiggly at all.. he just saw everybody crowding and thought it looked warm, so joined in. Simply a case of him not wanting to freeze to death out in the cold. Though, when he does finally get his hands on a Wiggly and finds himself in the cult, it's easy to assume why. If anybody has holes that need to be fixed, it's him. His lovers dead, everyone hates him, and he's been haunted by a massive goat. Of course he'll think a cuddly little doll could help him!

Barry Swift/Man in a Hurry: Barry has one surface level character trait, and it's that he can never slow down. If you look to his dialogue in Daddy where he mentions trouble with his past relationships because of his tendency to hurry, you see just how much it ruins his life and even get the sense that he hates hurrying, but somehow has no choice but to do it anyway. A man who can never stop and enjoy life? Always gotta be on the move, looking for the next thing? The moment something like Wiggly comes into the picture, he's going to want it. Perhaps he thinks it'll finally motivate him to slow down and let him enjoy something.. or maybe he's just greedy and wants it so he can laugh in people's faces and say he's got one.

Gary Goldstein: Gary loves everybody in town, and really just wants to be appreciated and maybe even admired. Nobody credits him where he's due and some of his best clients treat him like shit (Sherman abusing his services for petty things, and Linda doing the same with the added threat of her husband if their affair is discovered). He's here for a Wiggly just because he knows it's the latest trend and if he gets in on it, people might like him more and he'll finally feel appreciated. He will do anything to be liked. Even join a cult and kick a man to death.

15 People, 15 Questions

@foreverchangingfandomsao3 thank you so much for tagging me!!!

1. Are you named after anyone?

I believe I am named after a woman my mother met once. I'm not confident of the full story.

2. When was the last time you cried?

I think it was last week? I don't often cry when I'm sad, but I cry very quickly if I get overwhelmed. I got pulled into a frustrating conversation when I was very tired and not at all prepared for said frustrating conversation.

3. Do you have kids?

No, and I have no plans to have any, for a wide variety of reasons.

4. What sports do you play/have played?

Is competitive knitting a sport? I'm not really a sports person. I was in a little soccer league when I was 10, if that counts.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Not often. And not well, honestly.

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Probably hairstyle, and general vibe.

7. What’s your eye color?

Brown.

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Definitely happy endings, I'm not much of a horror person.

9. Any talents?

I'm very good at understanding how fabric works, and also general crafts and stuff.

10. Where were you born?

The east coast of the USA

11. What are your hobbies?

Fiber arts (knitting, crochet, spinning yarn, dying yarn, and whatever else I'm in the mood for), music (I play the violin and the drum set, and want to learn guitar), reading, and miscellaneous arts and crafts. I love to dabble in new things.

12. Do you have any pets?

A cat named Lily, who is the best. Also a ball python (Sumac). My younger sibling has two rats. And I live on a farm with goats, chickens, ducks, and sheep, who are sort of pets to various degrees.

Except right now I'm doing an exchange year, and all of them are very far away. My host family has two dogs and two parakeets.

13. How tall are you?

About 5ft 10in, or 178cm.

14. Favorite subject in school?

Probably math.

15. Dream job?

Hmm... I'd say my current very specific dream job is to work for a small business of no more than 10 people in the fiber arts industry, where I spend a good portion of my time making things, and maybe do a bit of administrative work too, because I have discovered that I honestly like spreadsheets, as long as they're not completely pointless.

[bonefarm]

I have drawn some ire for (anonymously) making fun of someone for referring to 28 year olds as middle aged. Today I have learned that fanfic writers (and I say this as someone who has dabbled) are an incredibly diverse collection of people who feel very passionately about an entire library of things that would make me say “oh… ok then…” if they were brought to my attention in polite conversation.

Hi! I am a 32 year old hobby farmer in rural Oklahoma. I have had goat slime, sawdust, and motor oil all over myself to a degree that required a shower this week. I think you should do whatever you want forever on Ao3. I am, however, going bully you (jovially) if you call me elderly. I only have a handful of white hairs after all.

Cheers

[arianrhodsprophet]

hail and well met, witchblr!

you can call me silas or prophet! i'm in my late 20s, white, queer, autistic, and use he/they/it pronouns, and astrologically, i'm ♏ sun, ♓ moon, and ♈ rising! and while i'm relatively new to witchblr (i've reblogged tarot stuff + followed some witchy blogs on my main, but now i've fully converted an old sideblog into what you see here!), i'm not new to tumblr! i am however, still also relatively new to witchcraft itself, only starting in the last couple of years and being hindered by chronic/mental illness.

some of my hobbies outside witchcraft are pro wrestling, video games (arknights, zero escape, disco elysium), music (the paper chase, the mountain goats, elliotly), furbys and beanie babies (they are NOT cursed!!!), twitch streamers (jerma985, wayneradiotv et al), ttrpgs, horror genre, nbc hannibal... i could go on and on, haha.

at any rate! i'm looking for some blogs to follow. i do a decent amount of tarot but i'm looking to branch out beyond that a well! i'm a devotee of the goddess Arianrhod (if you couldn't tell from the username, ehe), and am working on dabbling in various ways to honor Her, and plan to document my journey as a worshiper here!

to note: despite said username, i don't see myself as an irl prophet! just a fun internet nickname. and i like the idea of being Hers, as opposed to Her being mine if that makes any sense whatsoever lol.

so uh like this post and/or follow me if you'd like me to check out your blog, and i'll follow some people back!! (i follow back from @prophetesque, which is my main blog that i don't really post witchy stuff on). also, i would prefer if no minors followed me, as i'm almost 30. thank you for understanding!

i don't have a full dni or anything but nazis/terfs/fascists can choke thanx.

More about us :)

There's 5 of us that are known in total,

We are 18+ but some of us are uncomfortable to give exact/ correct ages.

Serene <3 :

Hii! I'm serene, I'm 18 and I'm the protected of our system, I try help us in any way possible and I love writing and reading, I love our alters and hope that you love them too!

Aliya💜 :

The youngest alter, 5 Years old (mental age) but acts much more mature then she usually is, she loves Disney and marvel, if she's not somewhere painting or baking then shes definitely watching marvel films!

Jake:

Barely fronts but if he does then it's gotta be about something serious, usually does the hard work for us, like speeches or presentations, sacrificial goat of the group, loves skateboarding and music, taught us how to play the guitar.

Bk🖤:

19 and the OG of the group, trauma holder but is the sweetest person you could ever interact with, loves music and songwriting, dabbles in other hobbies and enjoys language learning, currently learning Latin, she is working through trauma and is free to answer any questions as it helps talk about it.

[luimagines]

Do time or the other links smoke? Or drink? Or do some kind of drugs? I mean when your out heroing you're going to get alot of traum

Something they all at least somewhat have to try and take the edg off or do they have other ways of coping? I am sorry if this sounds like an ask,i was more along the lines trying to get your speculation on the matter

Masterlist

I see what you're saying and I do think that some of them would have had bad habits in the past but yeah-

They do need some time to take the edge off and refocus themselves in the present, but how do they do that in a healthy and safe way?

Let's talk about that.

I don't think I have all the necessary tags so go forth at your own discretion.

Time

Time would have definitely had a drinking problem that would have started in his Termina days.

He's never really felt the need to drink though- he only found that it would have kept him from going crazy.

But as he got out of there and talked more to Malon (and have his supply cut off- (just because he knew where to get it in Termina doesn't mean he knows where to get it in Hyrule, (nor would they give it to him, even if he did))), I like to think that he would have had to find other ways to calm himself down and think rationally through his thoughts and desires.

It happens by accident.

He was working at Lon Lon Ranch when he needed to go chop some wood and he found the repetitive and strenuous work, soothing.

He felt good. Accomplished even.

And a little disappointed when he was finished.

But he started doing that whenever he could and it became his main way to not only blow off some steam but to also calm himself down.

It helps with his anxiety and his need to help feel useful even when nothing is really happening that would require his assistance.

Twilight

Twilight finds that manual labor actually makes his anxiety worse.

He can't really find it within himself to get lost in it because he's already programmed for that to be a part of his day to day life anyway. So his brain can still go on and on even as he gets his chores done.

Twilight finds that a secluded spot with little distraction works best.

He's never really dabbled in other ways to deal with it nor has it come to his mind.

All he knew one say was that everything was too much and that he needed to be in a different area entirely.

No people, no noise.

He likes to hang out by small creeks or by the lake and fish if he really needs an excuse to do something.

Bonus points if he can rest with one of his favorite goats nearby, but that's few and far in between.

It's less meditation and more taking in the moment and letting time slip by for a change.

No to do lists, no action, no survival, no need to be on the run.

Just breath.

Warrior

Warrior would have smoked during the war but I don’t think he’d actually tolerate it all that well. I feel like he’d be more inclined to drink away his problems but with shortages left and right, and all efforts going into the war, there just wouldn’t be enough to go around.

So he’d smoke and hate it.

But it worked in a pinch.

Afterwards, whether through Mask’s and Wind’s influence or the end of the war, he’d want to find a way to quit.

It wasn’t easy but I feel like Warrior would attempt to quit cold turkey. Just drop the habit completely and what does he do when he feels the need arise again?

It’s actually little said than done, but he paints.

It’s less with ink and paint and more so, just moving his hands and a brush around.

If he happens to have a canvas it’s better but again, not easy to come around.

So what Warrior ends up doing most of the time, is taking a brush and some homemade ink from berries and brushing it over his scars. His favorite spot is the massive burn covering his left arm left behind as a gift from the Dragon Knight.

It feels tingly and electric, static follows the brush and the muscles clench with energy from the contact but while it’s uncomfortable for a while, it’s also not entirely unpleasant and it’s soothing to watch and feel. And it grounds Warrior in the moment until he no longer feels the urge.

When the urge is gone, he still does it when he feel anxious and concerned. Late at night is typical time for him to do this, where no one would see him or his scars and judge him for it.

Sky

Sky in the beginning would have slept more than he did before.

He was already inclined to fall asleep easily before all of his trauma, but afterwards he seemed to lose motivation to continue with the idea that things would go back to normal. There was still a lot of expectation placed on his shoulders and it was frankly not something he wanted to deal with.

So he sleeps.

Now this turns into more of a problem with being able to stay awake and to stay concentrated. It’s hard for him to pay attention to anything beyond him and that won’t do, considering me still has to finish his schooling.

What Sky does more often than not to keep him tethered to the present moment is work with his hands. He’s already had the tools for wood whittling but he was never allowed to use them in class and it ends being a bigger mess sometimes than he’s willing to deal with in general.

Sky also has some small pockets of clay that he fidgets with to keep his hands moving and he can keep it under his desk so that it’s not that distracting in class.

It helps him focus and when he thinks about what he’s been through and what he plans to do next, it keeps him from getting overwhelmed.

Wild

I think Wild would have just gone silent and unmoving when he’s having a bad day.

Kind of similar to how he gets when’s trapped in a memory but for longer and he doesn’t eat or sleep. It could last days at a time. He doesn’t even move unless he’s prompted or dragged to the spot.

The lights are on but no one’s home you know.

There’s not a lot he can do when it happens. Everyone just has to wait for it to pass and hope that it passes quickly.

But Wild gets better with time to know the signs when of one of those days is coming.

It’s not much, but Wild like to hop on the back of his horse and just take off.

Feel the rushing wind on his face and through his hair. He’s a full gallop for a while until the poor horse gets tired. At that point he just goes to the nearest stable and exchanges horses to do the whole thing over again.

Sometimes, when that’s not enough, he’ll go base jumping from as high as he can get even using Revali’s Gale to get higher and free fall. Wild is pretty good at catching himself with his paraglider at the last moment and he likes to see all of Hyrule when as he reaches the ground again.

It reminds him that he’s done a lot of good, that he’s capable of doing more good and that life isn’t over just one ended.

Four

Unsurprisingly, sometimes Four gets too lost in his own for his own good.

He’s got a lot to think about and very little way to get it out.

Four would actually throw himself into his work to try and distract himself from the memories, the anxiety, and the guilt of not being enough time and time again even if he saved the day in the end.

This doesn’t help.

He gets so lost into it, in his attempt to stop thinking all together that he completely goes into autopilot and over works himself. Not in the sense that he pulls a muscle and has to take it easy  or end up sore and tired and regrets it. No, no. What I mean is that he’ll keep working for days on end.

No sleep.

No food.

Little water.

No fresh air.

It ends up being a hard habit for him to break. Especially since he finds himself continuously trying to fall into a blank mindset even while he actually works to get commissions done.

So what Four has to do is find something else to do. Four more or less always has to have his hands moving, so it’s hard for him to put something down and not working on it.

He likes jigsaw puzzles, he likes to read, but he also likes to make stuff.

So in the end, when Four feel a little overwhelmed and feels himself slip into a self deprivational state, he’ll stop and goes inside his house to do a smaller project.

So he bakes, he knits, he does his puzzels. It’s enough for him to feel productive still but quick enough for him to stay present and make sure he’s still taking care of himself until the restlessness passes.

Wind

Wind doesn’t really have bad habits. He’s still young and processing his adventures. 

I’m sure there’s alcohol on the pirate ship because pirates. But I don’t think he’d like it as much as some people want to write him.

Like, sure, a cup or two ain’t bad but I just can’t see Wind having a drinking problem. At least not now as everything stands.

In a few years it’s might be something he would need to be on the look out for if he’s aware enough but he was quite grasped the full implications of his position and trauma yet.

Because he’s just a kid.

He won’t know how twisted what happened to him was until he gets older and can he the age outside of his own mindset.

Wind has nightmares though and they’re ties when he gets memories that he doesn’t want to deal with at the moment- or ever again.

In the moment he thinks of his home, his grandma and his sister instead.

He thinks of his friends, both old and new.

The chain help with distracting him and he’s not above using them for the distraction when he feels that he needs one.

Wind also stretches a lot. 

When he was with Warrior, he got into some of the drills they were teaching the soldiers and for some of the nimble ones, they had to start with stretches and he likes it.

So when it gets particularly bad, he throws himself through the motions and holds the poses for a bit longer than necessary.

So yoga. He does yoga.

And it centers him, it clears his head and he feels better after.

Legend

Legend screams.

Legend cries.

Legend will go on a rampage and destroy a whole forest if he’s having a particularly hard day.

Sometimes he’ll go find something big and scary just to fight it. 

Blacksmithing is more a hobby for him at this point because it’s not something he can actually see himself doing in the future. It’s just to pass the time and help the day’s go by a little faster.

Legend likes to draw and when he’s tired after throwing whatever tantrum has taken over him, he’d go to a quiet spot and draw whatever he sees.

Sometimes, when he’s paying more attention to himself and he can feel himself getting frustrated and anxious, he takes a few days off.

He leaves his house and his items and goes up a mountain to think with some food, a notebook and some pencils.

He takes up map making.

Legend doesn’t think he’s any good at it, but with al the places he’s been, he tries to make a map for them by memory incase anyone he knows or will meet decides to visit.

His most carefully crafted map is of Koholint for... reasons.

It’s takes him an age and a half and he’s still not done with it, trying to get as much of it onto the paper as he can remember before he grows old and loses them entirely within his memory.

It’s a calming project he finds. He doesn’t feel sad when he does this for Marin for the people and their memory. It keeps them alive in his heart and sometimes he draws something on the map that doesn’t quite fit into his memory about the island but something tells him to keep it because it was there. Because he was only a visitor to their home.

The locals would know.

He feels good keeping them alive in some way.

It’s what she they would have wanted. 

It’s what she they deserve.

She They always wanted to travel and it’s better to have a map to do so.

He takes up map making.

Hyrule

I don’t think Hyrule’s... Hyrule has a lot of these methods to go around. He wouldn’t have been exposed to drugs or alcohol simply because there’s too little people for him to interact with.

And if he was, I don’t think he’s use them as a coping mechanism simply because they would be too difficult obtain and gather to be sufficient.

I think that Hyrule would actually hang out with a Great Fairies by her pool when times got particularly rough.

There’s something about the place that resonates with him and feels calming, safe and relaxing to him.

As a bonus he’s always welcomed so he can pop in and stay for days at a time if he ever needed to.

He does not stay there for days.

But he appreciates the offer.

Hyrule doesn’t stay for more than few hours at a time because he doesn’t want to attract any monsters to his safe spots but even if the fairies don’t use any magic on him, he’s always rejuvenated afterwards and he feel like he can take on anything.

And given the world he comes from- it’s needed.

Kaer Morons and My Headcanons for their Hobbies

Geralt loves horses and gwent but his hobby in the wintertime is leather working. He does some lovely decorative work on the strap for Jaskier’s lute and even, subtly, Roach’s tack. He repairs all her tack himself too. Gifts Ciri some beautiful leather armor pieces when she’s about fifteen and she’s heartbroken when she grows out of them. (He makes her more)

Eskel has a surprising talent for recognizing gemstones. Maybe it’s the magic that’s inherent in most precious or even semi-precious stones, but he remembers their name. He likes blacksmithing and can do the basics, but between his skill with gems and a surprising aptitude for gold and silversmithing, Eskel is an excellent jeweller with the patience for very detailed pieces

Lambert has an exquisite eye for color and it translates into artistic talent. He likes clothes and fabrics and, although he isn’t quite patient enough to sew, enjoys sketching outfits. He’s a pretty good painter, too. He dabbles in brewing but is most successful with vodka and mead.

Coen is more patient and steady than his wolf peers, and apart from his sword drill, he enjoys woodworking. His favorite pieces are large, useful items, like sturdy tables, chairs, and chests, but for certain people (mainly Ciri on whom he dotes) will carve more delicate pieces. He varnishes all his own pieces and they decorate much of Kaer Morhen.

Aiden is a baker, to the delight of everyone who stays in the keep. His preferred fare is bread of all sorts, but he branches out into scones, farls, and sometimes sweeter things like honeycakes, when materials are available

Letho likes killing things. This comes with an aptitude for alchemical and chemical work as he develops his own specially curated toxins. Just don’t taste the experiments. The rat poison he developed finally cured the infestation in Kaer Morhen, although he changed the recipe to sub-lethal after a young Ciri begged him to. He has a soft spot for her, and with her urging branched out into other chemisty that has nothing to do with death at all. He and Triss sometimes collaborate on medicinal plants and in return she sewed him a coat to wear in his lab, although he requested she take the sleeves off. (Because buffness)

Vesemir has many hobbies, aquired over a long lifetime. One of them is reading romance novels and correcting the sex scenes in the margins. (Jaskier once spent a happy afternoon cackling over comments such as “under no condition should a phallus be called a ‘bratwurst’” and “if her bosom is that big, why wasn’t she wearing something under her nightgown, her back must ache”). He also keeps bees, whose honey contributes to Aiden’s honeycakes and Lambert’s mead. There are a few goats at Kaer Morhen and, although caring for them is Eskel’s preferred task, their milk is made into chees by Vesemir, who also occasionally knits with their wool

+ Bonus non-witchers

Jaskier says his only true hobby is music and poetry, but also indulges in making soaps and perfumes. Tailoring scents especially for his friends and family brings him great joy, and he delights in seeing his creations used up so he can make more. In his travels with Geralt he often picks up ingredients that are hard to find, such as cloves or dried orange peel, to use in his soaps. He collects natural dyes to create the best color combinations as well, and they often stain his fingertips.

Triss likes sewing and embroidery, and finds it calming, in an odd way. She’s a mostly peaceful person, often mediating conflicts with her friends, so perhaps sometimes she just wants to stab something hundreds of times until she feels better. Whatever the reason, she makes very nice clothing and is happy to consult with Lambert on colors

Yennefer was surprised to find she enjoys spinning and weaving. The creation of yarn and cloth under her fingertips is a power much like magic, and Jaskier, with all his natural items, usually is willing to dye it for her. (so long as he’s allowed to make a few jokes likening her to sleeping beauty’s wicked fairy)

Ciri is most often the recipient of the other’s gifts and talents, a wonderful place to be. It has left her with a skill for interior decorating and home organization. She enjoys cleaning up and moving furniture around to bring a room new life. She’s also taken to rock climbing and rappelling the walls of Kaer Morhen, which gives her two fathers, her two mothers, her grandfather, her four uncles, and the weird sort of uncle who comes around sometimes, heart attacks. (Geralt and Jaskier, Triss and Yennefer, Vesemir, Lambert Eskel Aiden Coen, and Letho).

[o0o0thorn0o0o]

These two pieces were requested by @bea2804, who also requested some headcanons. I’ll put them below the “read more”. I don’t really have many outside of my favorite three, but I managed to come up with quite a few. It’s hard to start, but once you do, it’s hard to stop, I guess, haha. Anyway, I hope these are to your liking!

・One of her hobbies is raising spiders, so I can imagine she owns a few tarantulas. All of them are pretty docile.

・As they’re pretty fragile, Hazama doesn’t handle them much. She takes them out of their terrariums every once in a while, though. She’s really careful with them.

・Even if she wasn’t interested in spiders, she finds cobwebs absolutely fascinating. Dewdrops on webs look especially brilliant.

・She’s interested in reading into all countries’ folklore. And because I personally am really into Native American folklore, skin walkers and wendigos are up on her list.

・She listens to horror/true crime narrations to go to sleep. She also puts on those types of podcasts as background noise.

・She dabbles into sewing. Her pin cushion is a voodoo doll. She also sometimes weaves and crochets.

・She prefers books that are very vague, descriptive, and  metaphorical—dialogue is rare.

・She’s more into reading stories than poems, but she tends to write the latter over the former. Each poem is usually accompanied with a sketchy and abstract flower drawing that’s related to the work.

・For a few years now, she takes her collection of poems and makes a little booklet out of them. She has this small bookshelf where she keeps them, and it’s almost halfway full. It’s only for her eyes—she doesn’t really care to show anyone else. 

・She’s always just naturally been inclined to animals associated with demons and witchcraft—so like cats, goats, snakes, etc. They’re more of a passive interest, but an interest nonetheless.

・She prefers her sweets to be bittersweet and tart—not much of a fan if they aren’t.

That’s all for now. Ahhhh, I’ve never really done this before, so, again, I hope I did a sufficient enough job.

Couldn't really sleep in this heat and humidity, so I called a painting session at 1 AM. It is now 6 in the morning. Maybe not my smartest idea but behold: our Alpha Legion squad leaders!

[sharada-n]

shae, gimme ur l4d2 headcanons, do it do it do it

Guess you forced my hand :( Warning: this gets loooong

Coach:

Loves kids? Like, we know he changed careers because his injury meant he couldn’t play football anymore, but I think in the end he actually liked his new gig better

Has a name but is just more used to being referred to as Coach and also didn’t want to reveal it because he didn’t know how long these idiots would stick around (and by the time they were full found fam it was just funnier not to)

Widower - was married for 20+ years but his wife died a few years before the events of the game. Due to fertility issues they had no children

Suuuuuuper protective of the others? Total dad friend, would always be the first to go back for a fallen comrade. Is friend-shaped

He’s also hug-shaped. Coach gives the best hugs, he’s a real physically affectionate guy, and he will not be stopped

Besides sports, he is also really into (rock) music and board games. Biggest regret about the Apocalypse is he can’t play chess anymore

Also super good at cooking? He’s the designated team cook, give him some corned beef and half a can of baked beans and Coach will make you a delicious feast

Rochelle:

Honestly was better than most people at her job, definitely a bit of a workaholic. Sometimes she has a hard time letting loose

L... lesbean - had several relationships before but wasn’t in one when the Apocalypse started

Definitely knew how to handle a gun already before shit went down. Going to the shooting range was a hobby of hers (perfect way to de-stress). Other hobbies include writing, watching reality television and jogging. She was also definitely in a book club

She is one of those ‘silent anger’ types. She’ll be the first to engage in witty banter or sarcastic jabs, but piss her off for real and it’ll be a deadly storm coming you way and you won’t even hear it coming

She’s definitely the planner of the group. She is down-to-earth and realistic, and also remembers EVERYTHING so the others do occasionally rely on her to keep them in line. Their team doesn’t have a leader, but Rochelle comes closest to serving as one.

Actually sucks at first aid. She has had the fortune of not being in many scrapes or accidents in her life, but it did have the side-effect that Coach had to teach her how to patch herself (or others) up

Her family is not from the area and in fact she has no idea how they’re doing or how to contact them. She’s very worried about them, but knows she won’t ever be able to find them if she’s not alive to do so

Ellis:

As much as he doesn’t want it, he’s the baby of the team. That’s just how it is, he can not change this. He can handle himself just fine but that won’t stop the others from thinking it

Definitely has untreated ad(h)d of some kind? This man is a force of chaotic energy you can not comprehend. His attention span is also all over the place. Has an unhealthy need to be liked by people at all times or he will combust

Knows how to ride a horse, knows how to ride a cow, probably would try to ride a goat if given the chance

Was an only child but was very popular among his friends

Ironically did not know how to shoot a gun before things went down, but played video games and also watched Keith shoot cans sometimes (the sound of the gun is very bothersome for him) and he’s a quick learner

But for this reason, he will always prefer melee. Weapon of choice will be the baseball bat but he’s handy with anything 

Speaking of handiness, as a mechanic Ellis is great at fixing up shit and the others are internally grateful he’ll keep the electricity running. Thanks to Keith and their wild adventures, he’s also great at first aid

Doesn’t know where his parents where when the outbreak happened and frankly doesn’t really care

Nick:

Convicted felon, conman, and known crook. Served a grand total of six months in the slammer, but he doesn’t talk about it. Absolutely has killed before but gotten away with it

Had a bad childhood, bad family, joined gangs at an early age. He dabbled mostly in petty theft and vandalism before upgrading to actual organized crime, but went solo because he doesn’t like people

Trust issues central. Partly because of the above reasons, partly because he’s just a pessimist and doesn’t believe people will stand for anything but themselves when the world ends. He takes the longest to warm up to the others

After he does, he’s definitely ride or die though. They all have each others backs, but Nick is the only one who would gladly shank a guy for even looking at his team funny

Likes gambling but often loses money when he’s not cheating. His less detrimental hobbies are visiting bars, traveling and sailing. He’s a boat boy and knows how to operate one

Rich through unsavory means, Nick has expensive tastes and his biggest adjustment about the Apocalypse is the lower living standard. Hates the lack of toilet paper and will not shut up about it

Germaphobe. Hates gross things, hates gross smells, hates anything gross except blood (and that’s just because he’s used to it). Pukes pretty easily, all things considered

Married young and stayed with his (ex-)wife for 7 years. He really loved her, she... did not exactly return the sentiment. In the end she cheated and they divorced, but Nick is mostly over it, just bitter

RP Hooks — -

Greased Gears Tavern - For the past six to seven months, a group has been running a tavern/dive bar out of the Scarlet Raven in Darkshire. They hold a neutral disposition on most matters, and offer a sanctuary for those on both sides of life. Most of the time, they’re seeking bartenders and waiters, occasionally staff for entertainment. 

Malum - Malum Discordiae; a white-collar crime group who often utilize the aforementioned tavern as a front and means for hangout. Most types are welcome, from good, to neutral, to downright evil. Those in the underground may hear that the group sells anything ranging from cursed items, to protection, to various other contracts. The cuts are beneficial for both parties, and clean-up is often done well. 

Rumors & Reputation- By no means are Nyxaria’s hands clean; she carries the burden of many crimes of the past. There are plenty rumors circulating between the city to Duskwood and elsewhere. She has been the antagonist to several, and a kind heart to others. She has committed atrocities to the dead, raising them for her bidding. She has sacrificed others for power. She has betrayed, harmed, and otherwise and left a trail of pain in her wake. Some speak of past connections to a cult, others speak of her being cut-throat in how she runs her businesses. Rumors are what allow her to thrive. 

Familiar Face - Those who once walked among the Sin’dorei may recognize the woman’s face, though lacking in warmth to her complexion and a green pair of eyes. Much of her body has been altered and, while it can be chalked up to the mutations of the Void, it may seem more than that. (DM me if you’d like to set up a storyline for this!) 

What I’m looking for — -

Contacts - I’d like to build up Nyxaria’s list of contacts across Azeroth through RP. My aim is to have her function as a support character for those who need it. I have plenty of development going for her in her own story, I’d like to be able to help out those in their own stories where I can. 

Non-Romantic Relationships - Nyxaria is not one to browse and accept romantic relationships at a whim; she’s married. I’d like to build friendships for her- whether they are short and brief and turn into enemies or long-lasting. I want to explore every kind of ship you could imagine, from hatred to close family, to ‘just business’. 

Enemies / Antagonists - Got a guard character who is suspicious? Or someone within SI:7? Interested in playing an antagonist against a group of criminals? There’s no specific niche required with this type of plot; Nyxaria and her own folks are likely to have pissed someone off in the past, be it through several assaults or a single meeting.  ( OOC communication is required.)

Slice-of-Life - I enjoy slice-of-life and casual RP as much as I do controlled plots. Come and RP in Darkshire with me, or my character can invite yours to an outing! Hell, let’s have them browse Boralus for wares. Not everything has to be broody and serious; wholesome RP is amazing too!

Horror / Dark Plots - My character is a necromancer- but she’s also someone who is drawn to the darker corners of life itself. She’s enamored by the gruesome and the violent. While I do have limits to this particular type of RP, I’m more than happy to explore different scenarios. ( OOC communication is required.) 

OOC Information — -

Server: Wyrmrest Accord ( Alliance / Cross-Faction/Server accepted)

Character(s): Paradisiac (Main), Misfortunate (Alt)

I prefer to RP in-game or over Discord. Tumblr RP is difficult for me, but I can certainly try to keep up with it. DM me if you’d like my discord to RP. 

My schedule can change drastically sometimes, but I am online during the afternoon / early evenings / sometimes late evenings. 

I will not RP with minors; the themes portrayed with my character are not appropriate around them.

29 and 30

Which fandom(s) do you wanna roleplay in/crossover with but you’re too afraid to approach?

I think I would like to get into D&D but I didn’t know much about it until recently. I like being a bit prepared instead of jumping in and winging it. :) I would need a very patient DM. “What do you mean I can’t run across the map?”  lol

Other than roleplaying, what’s your favorite hobby?

How much time do you have? :)

I have so many hobbies outside of roleplaying. We have a little farm and I would love to get chickens and goats to raise. I sew, crochet, loom knit, cross stitch and I have a cricut machine that I dabble in. I know there’s more...

I’m just trying to make myself invaluable for when the zombie apocalypse comes.

It’s been a LONG time since I did any character creation. 

Celeste. No last name. 

Where do they live?: In a lovely, snug cabin in the woods, with Muriel and Inanna. Bit more structure and room than Muriel’s previous cottage. 

Is your character considered plain, ugly, beautiful? Would the character agree with this assessment? How has this definition of their looks affected them?:  She’s a very pretty woman. She knows it. It’s not something she thinks about often, except when it catches the attention of someone she’d rather it not. 

Does your character lose a parent/caregiver?: So much of the past is wiped out. No parents have come forward post-plague. It’s sad in a general way, but it’s hard to miss something you’ve never really known.

Does something else happen that changes everything for him or her?: Being employed by the palace as a Magician.

How old is your character when this happens?: 27, but we’re a fair way up the road from that, now. She’s renounced her title in the palace and moved on to district Midwifery and Healing with her good friend, Julian.

How does this affect the character?: It throws her headlong into a mystery, adventure, and romance. It’s all very exciting, and horrifying and wonderful, but it really cements that she doesn’t belong out in the world fighting devils and demons...but she certainly will, if needs must. 

Does his or her social status change during childhood? If it does, why does this happen and how does it affect the character?: Again, so much of her past is just gone that it would be impossible to tell. Pre-Plague, she did have many relationships with persons of all social standings. 

What is your character’s relationship with his or her caregivers like?: The closest thing to a caregiver she has is Asra. And that’s...complicated. They are more than friends, more than family. He’s her soul mate, and she, literally, shares his heart. 

Who does your character love most?: Muriel...and Asra. That’s just how it has to be. Thankfully, Muriel has similar sentiments regarding Asra, and they all work together beautifully. She also loves Julian in some small way, but he makes her very tired. He is an exasperating man. An attempt was made, but they work better as colleagues. 

Is he or she popular?: No. She’s a grown-ass woman and doesn’t have time for “popularity”. She is well-loved by many and loves many. 

What interests, hobbies, and sports does your character enjoy?: She loves cooking for her little “family” and friends. She gardens and tends her homestead. Enjoys learning and practicing practical magic. Not much for sports, but enjoys a good swim to release tension. She does dabble in whittling but knows it is not her area of expertise. 

What is the character’s greatest fear?: Losing the memories she does have, and not being able to recover. Alternatively, losing Muriel or Asra. Asshole ghost-demon-goat-fuckfaces are right up there on the nightmare list. 

Did your character complete his or her education?: Her magical education is ongoing. Never truly mastered. As far as a formal education...she used to work for a doctor. She isn’t uneducated. It’s funny, the things that stuck around, and the things that are missing forever.

What does your character do for a living?: Helps with the shop on occasion. On-call healer, herbalist, and midwife working in conjunction with Julian’s clinic. 

 What goals does your character have?: She has everything she truly needs and her wants are few. She does toy with the idea of becoming a full-fledged doctor, but the science of it doesn’t mesh with what she knows of magic, and hasn’t been able to strike a balance. She wants to grow her family, eventually. She’s apprehensive because of the turmoil they’ve had to overcome to get to a place of relative normalcy to truly commit to the idea of marriage and children and doesn’t know how that would work with her current relationship dynamic. 

Is your character in a relationship?: Yes. A couple, actually. 

How many times has he or she been ‘in love’? How have these people influenced the character?: Twice. Asra is her first love and they have a symbiotic relationship. They need each other to thrive. He’s her teacher, her savior, and her closest friend in the world. They are in love with each other. He is within her and courses through her veins. But, Muriel is where she finds her peace and makes her home. He is her joy and vice versa. She thinks it’s because Asra tended to Muriel’s heart first. Now, they all complete each other. 

How do they see the world?: There is good in the world, but she’s seen such unspeakable evil and corruption that she isn’t naive. Very practical, and quite guarded.

Is your character independent?: Not as independent as she feels she might once have been. She understands the importance of having a support structure and makes it a point to truly cultivate and tend to relationships that make her a stronger person, and to know who is worth sharing her energy with.

Does he or she live alone or with somebody?: She lives with Muriel. Asra stays with them frequently, and they have plenty of soft places for friends to fall...when Muriel can stand the extra company. 

Does your character have children?: No. Maybe, someday. 

What is your character’s favorite quotation?: Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Add pepper to your mashed potatoes. Plant roses and lavender, for luck. Fall in love whenever you can.

Does he or she have a motto?: Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
