oc questions tag game!

ok, trying to be efficient with this lol

from @a-lonely-dunedain:

what is a trait your oc can't stand in other people vs a trait they find themself drawn to

what animal would you associate with your oc? can be for in-character reasons (ie their favorite animal) or a more symbolic reason

what is their biggest regret? was it truly their fault or some unavoidable tragedy? (and can they tell the difference)

from @sweetearthandnorthernsky

does oc have recurring themes in their nightmares? why? are they aware of the 'why'?

if your oc was to overhear their name in a conversation, what would they assume the conversation is about? why? is this assumption accurate?

there's a spider, cockroach, silverfish, or some other nasty bug in your oc's house/room/apartment/etc! how do they deal with it? do they squish it? capture it to release it outside? scream and run for the hills? leave it? something else entirely?

and my own questions, if you're so inclined, for @rlainarin [waves from thalion sideblog] @loremastering @dunadaan

oops! your oc got stuck in a timeloop. how's that going for them? is there a specific circumstance for the loop that would be most interesting?

what does your oc have by way of hobbies? creative hobbies? collector hobbies? hobbies other people think are weird?

plant a garden for your oc. what's in it? (is it practical? mostly for aesthetics? how big is it?)

and some answers!

what is a trait your oc can't stand in other people vs a trait they find themself drawn to

glainyn will get instantly annoyed with anyone acting like they know all or like they think they're the smartest person in the room, that they have all the answers and won't hear a thing anyone else is gonna say. conversely, he gets on pretty well with people who are just. not like that lol, even if they are the smartest person in the room (large factor in why he likes dis so much)

isena is rather drawn to people who project a lot of confidence. sometimes it's fun to see if she can pop their bubble, but sometimes it's just nice to have people around who know what they're doing. she does, however, hate a holier-than-thou attitude and will start a fight over it

what animal would you associate with your oc? can be for in-character reasons (ie their favorite animal) or a more symbolic reason

moths for silmeniel. both by aesthetic and the tendency to watch the light

it feels almost like cheating to say eagle or bear for isedd lol, for loremaster companion reasons mostly. matwyn my beloved. similarly, his cousin deorna + crow, for the random craban matwyn bullied into being deorna's companion

what is their biggest regret? was it truly their fault or some unavoidable tragedy? (and can they tell the difference)

lendrain thinks this should be walking away from the dunedain, but he can't find it in himself to actually regret it all that much, and feels bad about not actually feeling bad about it. the only part of it he actually regrets is not waiting long enough to say goodbye to helegdir

est is. hm. it's a little harder for her to pick a biggest regret i think. she always wishes she could have saved someone. she does really regret never having a proper conversation with grimbold after troubled dreams, though. the whole situation just feels stupid to her- it didn't have to end on that note but it did and she can't do anything about it now

does oc have recurring themes in their nightmares? why? are they aware of the 'why'?

helf trio especially has So much to work with in recurring dreams :D (so do most of the others if you just let them do a questline or two though lol). silear dreams of the deep palace most often- she's never been sure if that experience was real or the product of a too-long fever. post-morgul bladening she dreams of a cold, suffocating fog, though even then it's less common than the place beneath the sea. halthel and silmeniel i don't think have quite as much regularity in theirs, but they've got plenty to choose from

daedin dreams of the death of light- did even before the mirkwood mission that went bad when she was young. it's a little surprising, given how little of her ancestry is exilic noldorin. for a long time it's vague and unclear, but it later takes form from the stories silmeniel tells of the darkening. she has no idea why she dreams of this

if your oc was to overhear their name in a conversation, what would they assume the conversation is about? why? is this assumption accurate?

halthel (late first age): probably people having Opinions on the feanorians again (accurate)

halthel (third age): younger elves with questions about earlier ages (fairly accurate). or people having Opinions on the feanorians again (a bit less accurate)

est: someone has another quest for me (...accurate)

isedd (rohan/post-war): isena got in a fight somewhere (less accurate than he thinks)

isedd (bree/pre-war): bear scared someone again (accurate)

rani: oh fuck did they find out about [insert latest shenanigans here] (mixed accuracy)

there's a spider, cockroach, silverfish, or some other nasty bug in your oc's house/room/apartment/etc! how do they deal with it? do they squish it? capture it to release it outside? scream and run for the hills? leave it? something else entirely?

silear, when she feels like being a bit of a shit: o noooo there's a bug :( silmeniel save me from the evil bug :( halthel do you have your giant fuck-off sword around? there is bug.

daedin, having gone through remmorchant: [smack] [smack] [smack] ....is it still there? [smack]

most of the rest of the crew don't care all That much tbh- too much time spent running around and camping lol. capture and release if it's convenient, shoo away if not, squish if it's gonna cause problems

I was tagged by @princesscatherinemiddleton to answer these questions so let's find out how much of a nerd I am!

What colour are your eyes?: Blue-grey

What instantly tells you if a person is good?: I usually have quite a good gut feeling/instinct when it comes to people, so I'm gonna say the vibe

Do you have a recurring dream?: Not anymore, but growing up I frequently dreamt about my teeth falling out - either that I could pull them out one by one or they fell out all at once & ended up choking on them... can someone tell me if this is normal? Should I be concerned for my younger self?

What is the most interesting class you have taken?: I'm gonna have to say when I was studying History A (autumn 2020), I remember having such a strong feeling of "I'm home, this is where I'm supposed to be" & I try to remind myself of that whenever I have a life crisis & feel like giving up on history for a "safer" field

How often do you find yourself daydreaming?: Way too often

Name/nickname: Saga, I don't really have a nickname... one of my friends has said that if I was a dog I would be a poodle, so she sometimes refers to me as that

Zodiac: Capricorn (Sun = Capricorn, Moon = Aquarius, Rising = Capricorn, for those who are curious)

Height: 158 cm, so around 5 feet 2 inches

Nationality: Swedish & Sámi

Favourite colour: It's a tie between forest green & light pastel colours, depending on my mood

Favourite season: I'm gonna say summer, despite all the pollen

Favourite animals: Dogs & horses

Favourite fictional characters: Oh gosh... way too many! But fictional as in book characters, I'm going to say my underappreciated girls Ginny Weasley, Susan Pevensie & Amy March. If you can't tell, I also love Sophie Beckett & Benedict Bridgerton (I know, shocker!) both as individuals but also as a couple. Honourary mentions to my boys Michael Stirling, Percy Jackson & Finnick Odair. Not gonna go into TV series or movie characters because then we would probably be here the whole day 😂

Tea, coffee or hot chocolate?: I'm addicted to coffee, so that's gonna have to be the answer but, I do love hot chocolate every now & then

Average hours of sleep?: I think somewhere between 6-7 hours

Cat or dog person?: Dog! haha

Number of blankets slept with: Duvet with one blanket on top

Places ancestors are from: The southern part of Swedish Lapland. All of my ancestors lived concentrated in an area nicknamed Drottninglandet, Queensland (the area was "discovered" & named after Frederica of Baden). So as you can see, I had no choice but to be royally obsessed!

Dream trip: Oh, I don't think I have one! I'm gonna have to say pass on this one for now

Blog established: Nov. 2012.

Random fact about yourself: I don't know how to whistle

Three ships: Well, seeing as I've already mentioned Benophie, I'm gonna go with Helnik from Six of Crows/Shadow & Bone, Bellarke from The 100 &... Shirbert from Anne of Green Gables!

Last song:

Last movie: I can't remember...

Currently reading: Scientific papers on the history of the upper-class & their country homes - no really, it's actually interesting but it's taking up all my brain power (as Ash knows seeing as I'm practically years behind on reading her stuff, sorry about that)

Currently watching: *cricket noise*

Currently craving: Sweets

Now, I'm gonna tag @death-of-astar, @silverhallow, @bridgertonbabe, @sophiamariabeckett, @grandmaster-anne & @quintessbrit plus anyone else who wants to answer these questions

[nixthehomunculus]

Tagged by resident cannibal @violentviolette

Rules: Answer 16 questions

Nickname: can definitely find the ones I've used on my blog, probably under the same tag this is gonna go in

Zodiac Sign: leo sun, sag moon, routinely forget rising

Height: 5′6

Hogwarts House: slytherin

Last Thing I Googled: how to give a robot my voice, I wanted to see if there was a way to have it sound like I'm reading out loud without actually doing it

Song Stuck in my Head: head empty actually, haven't had a song in there for maybe a day or 2

Amount I Sleep: pretty hard to tell, I'd say 7 hours for a safe guess

Following and Followers: oh nice, i follow 336 and 732 follow me

Lucky Numbers: any time I thought to pick a lucky number it felt like whatever i was going for did a 180, besides that, numbers aren't usually on my mind

Dream Job: plank of wood, maybe a skateboard

Favorite Songs:  don't really have any, though a few days back I listened to count on me ii by lucki eck$ multiple times

Random Fact: I had a recurring dream, when i was younger, about a scientist (i was simultaneously her as well as observing her) who created a separate dimension. It was filled with giant colourful blocks in a space that was vast and white (no observable walls). There was something else in that dimension and it chased her and killed her each time, I can never recall what it looked like.

Favorite Instruments: guitar, baseball bat

Favorite Authors: i don't really read, I can't say I really have a favourite

Favorite Animal Noises? Cats making whatever dumbass noises they make, also when wolves and dogs howl is good shit, and crow noises, honestly when birds or animals sound vaguely human

Aesthetic: palms pressed against eyes, walking gently on bones, sharp nails, eyes that glow when the flash goes off, too many eyes, too many limbs, multiple lit candles in a dark room like recklessly scattered mousetraps (but none of them touch each other)
