Se-mi x OC - Anything for you - Chapter four

Hihihi now it’s interesting 🤭

Enjoy !

The square guard lead me again to the room where was my father and the other collaborators. When we come in I catch my father’s eyes. I look back to the man and do a polite smile to him then move forward my father. When I was in front of him, he cross his arm and look at me seriously.

« Where were you young lady ? »

« With the man who carry the place of the frontman. We have a chat, nothing more. » he raise an eyebrow

« Oh… a chat ? And about what where you chatting ? Naree, you know-» I cut him

« A job opportunity, nothing more dad. You know me, I wouldn’t do that. » I didn’t let him say anything else and just go to sit. It was time for the players to vote. And my heart was about to explode. Please Se-mi, choose right and I’ll save you.

Vote begin. One by one players vote X or O. It was long, so boring. My anxiety just grown minute by minute. Even more with the fact that a game was waiting for me tomorrow. What game would it be ? I don’t know but I’m sure it won’t be very easy.

It’s now the time for Se-mi to vote. I cross my finger and move on my chair just like to seen better the screen. I can feel my heart beat harder, even my blood on my vein. Please my love… I need you to choose X. She stand in front of the two button and…

O

I sigh angry, this bitch really don’t help me. I start panicking and tears appears in my eyes. I turn back to look at the guard, but he already was looking at me. I turn back and I couldn’t handle it, I feel sick of all of it.

« Sorry dad, I’m feeling very bad… I’m on my room if you need me. » he just nodded. I raise from the couch and leave the room. But when I pass towards the guard, he took my wrist and whisper.

« She could change her mind next vote if the X isn’t in majority. And it’s still on our deal » I nodded and leave the room to go to my own bedroom.

I didn’t move from my bed the rest of the day, looking at my phone. I’ve switch on the TV to watch what happen to Se-mi, I can’t see all the camera or hear all the microphones but I can see her quickly sometimes. Like I was expecting, they were a majority of O, so they do another game. Another game is another possibility to Se-mi to die without that I can do anything about that.

I was looking at my phone when a voice caught my attention.

It was Se-mi. She was chatting with that one guy of her team.

« They’re stupid and easy enough to control. »

« What about me ? Why’d you ask me to join you ? »

« You ? Because I taught I could trust you. » the guy just said huh and she chuckle « Anyway, once that’s 200 million, I’m getting the hell out. Don’t know how much you owe, but I’d start thinking… You won’t last in a place like that. » and she started to leave, but the guy stopped her

« What would you do with this money ?»

« Pay my debt… then » she start thinking and a soft smiled appear on her face « maybe like buying something to my girlfriend… » she whispered « it’s not like she needed anything… no, she’s the type of girl who sleep on satin sheets… but maybe flowers, she love flowers. » she said with a big smile while looking at her feet. My heartbeat was high just to hear that she was thinking about me, that when she paid her debt, her money will be to paid stuff for me. How I love her. She’s so perfect. I really need her, I really need to get her out of here. Then she move away from the guy and ended their conversation.

————————

A knock at my door wake me up, I look at my phone, it was 4am. What the fuck ? I get up, go to my door and open it to see the square guard.

« Good morning, isn’t it a good day for a game ? I wait you here the time you’re getting ready. » I nodded and close the door. I decide to wear a sport outfit, just in case and after getting ready I go to my door and he was here, like he said, waiting for me.

« Okay, then follow me. » he start walking trough the corridors and lead me to our destination « so, if you win you’ll have to wait that she choose to leave by herself, and then you could go by yourself save her. » I nodded silently. The fear in my heart was extreme. And tears showing up in my eyes. I just follow him in silence trying not to cry.

We walk to really weird and colorful stairs, it’s seems like a dream from a child. And then he lead me to a big door and when it open up, it was just like a big appartements.

« We will play hide and seek, you have 5 minutes to hide and I have 10 minute to found you. It’s start… now » I start to run faster that I can trough the room to find the perfect hideout. When I enter in a room that look like a parent bedroom I look for a place to hide, after looking at everywhere in the room I turn to see a wardrobe. I walk to it and open any single drawer. Then I open up one of the little door and here was the perfect hideout, their was a box on the wardrobe, big enough to fit in and that was put on the wardrobe. I do my best to enter on the box and to close the little door but I finally success to fit in my hideout.

I heard a woman voice say « hide time is over ». I was close, really close. The position was clearly not confortable but I feel so bad about the situation that I didn’t really notice. Time passes slowly, it feels like a torture. Plus I didn’t have any watch nor my phone to know how many time I’ve spend here. Tears was falling down on my cheeks and I was trying to stay silent when I hear the door opened. The guard enter in the room and start to search in any place possible for me to hide. After some times, that seems to be an eternity, he start searching on the wardrobe. I couldn’t feel my all body anymore and by belly was just exploding. I feel so sick and I couldn’t stop crying like a child. He opened every single drawer, like I did some minute before and after looking at every drawer, I heard the door being opened. I loose…

« The search time is over » i heard the feminine voice say. « Congratulations for wining Naree, you can get out of your hideout. » i feel like I was living again. I slowly and hardly get out of my hideout and the guard gently help me to get out.

« I was sure you will win » then without any other word he lead me again to my room, in an all silent. And when we arrive to my door he said « take a shower and a nap, the next game start in two hours… Congratulations, you win. If she vote to leave, you go for her. » then he just leave without waiting for my response.

Rayas at the RTV Tour, 2

Second week of the Puzzlevision Tour, hosted by @rtv-puzzlevision-studios

Note 1: Once again, writing this in first person. Had a lot of fun with it

Note 2: I did mentioned that my main Oc is in the spectrum. But as the Tour goes, she might slowly try to interact a little bit. Especially when either trying to make social interaction, or asking if anyone saw her missing drawing. And a little lore drop on her.

Note 3: Interactions to the inserts are all Bg and not always direct for bigger actions, and as to not break the rules. But now, interacting with the RTV AU characters and sonas happens.

Final Note: Same as last post. Rayas is a participant, and not the same for a future RTV version.

Story

"THANK YOU ALL FOR VOTING! LOOKS LIKE WE WILL GO TO THE ART DEPARTMENT FIRST!" Said Puzzles, the host of the Puzzlevision Tour, after the final vote is set.

After climbing the stairs (of Doom), so far, I'm glad no one tripped on it (I saw someone change to a dragon and skipped the stairs, wow! But is that allowed?) (Marie by @fenicearts420); but for some reason, why did I felt nervous anyways (?). It's not like someone tries to trip me, or someone is glaring at me from atop the staircase. Yet, I still cling to my umbrella that I brought; again, it makes me feel safe.

But alas, I think the whole tour won't be so eventful for the bad; though, some of the participants got a little keen such as how to address Puzzles. As Mr Puzzles... or RTV (Reality TV? well, I know that) said the host, but "Mr Puzzles" is okay (preferably).

(Well, I will out of politeness. I said before, this place/world is different, with its own rules. My Visitor arm band I subconsciously made is for a reason)

Now, walking through the halls of the second floor studio, Mr Puzzles explains that the Social Media Department is connected and just below the Art Department, Block B; and those two that close are just right. So far, all is fine; and hope everyone or some try to be polite. And still, I'm looking for the drawing that went up the second floor somewhere where the whole group is heading. For a moment, I thought I saw something thin go into a vent from above the ceiling; hope it's the drawing. But if it is... where did it go? Never mind, must stick to the tour.

Hm... wonder if I can try to make small talk while walking to the Art Department with the group. I can try to practice in case... I have to speak to Mr Puzzles if he addresses me first. I saw some participants who are TV Heads and slightly look like Mr Puzzles, or close (I've always been curious about them). I could start with the one with a Kuromi cap and purple teeth (Crystal by @kuromipuzzles2000), since she's the one nearest to me after climbing up the stairs in the back.

(Crystal, and Loyboo)

I subtly got a little close to her. I looked at her for a bit and didn't took long for her to notice... I slightly smiled with my second mouth (one to pronounce my emotions much more) as a silent Hello along with a small wave of my hand... Why is she giving me a straight frown...? Did I do something wrong? Did I interrupted something? Maybe- Oh, she slightly smiled back, albeit faintly with a raised eyebrow. Okay, she looks forward; I follow. I don't think it went bad, just neutral. Nothing verbal, but at least, I'm trying. Huh? It looks like someone also wanted to talk to her, the same ghost-like person (Loyboo by @alelathedragonwho) who loudly boasted to see the Art Department (I won't blame him for being too happy. Plus, for my ears getting hurt, all forgiven). But he seems to be hesitant before changing his mind. Hm... I'm... considering if to at least, make brief contact since he appears too shy; I don't want to overwhelm anyone. (Wonder if there's a unique way to interact with him, after seeing his Boo tie)

Anyways...

During the rest of the tour, I hope to gain enough courage ask for help from the three guards if they could look for my lost drawing. But um... I feel like it won't be easy. Swag seems to be a little too rude after his interaction with two participants (sorry). Chris seems like it, but it looks like he seemed a little stressed with Swag's antics; guess I rather not give him trouble with finding my lost drawing. Hm... Lucian, the third security guard who ushered me and a few others being the last ones, who knows. I hope that while I'm looking around, he could get the hint; but then again, what if... oh. Up ahead, we are close. I navigate very slowly into the crowd without interrupting anyone, and avoiding some that give me vibes they would immediately not like me for the smallest thing, but I think it's just my anxiety making me think things that have not happened yet. I have to admit, some of them scare me (sorry).

(If you look at my broken left side of my face, I'm doing my best not to think about it getting bigger, or a new one to show up. All I can say, it will never heal as it isn't a physical one)

I keep on to my umbrella.

Alright. Finally arriving to the Art Department.

Mr Puzzles stands and everyone stops as the main doors to the Art Department is. And then, a peculiar floating woman with a color picker for a head (and a paintbrush tail, that's interesting) appears past the door. She greets all of us, very excited in her tone. I even notice the color on her head and fingers change color based on her current mood.

“Colores, head of our Art department and funny enough the younger SISTER of Lucian over there.” said Mr Puzzles to everyone, introducing the head of the Art Department.

Colores, as in Colors; that's a nice name. (Hello Colores) (My name, Rayas, means Stripes in Spanish, I love stripes). And she's Lucian's sister, interesting. I couldn't help, or if anyone else did, look back and see Lucian wave at his sister... She didn't waved back. I wonder what is the reason for sibling rivarly or squabble going with them, but I'm not part of their story to learn more (I'm just a visitor); and not even thinking of leaving what I call, an Imprint. Direct or Indirect, I won't get into it.

“Well, as Mr. Puzzles has already told you, I’m in charge of this department. Ah- you know what? Just come into one of the studios!”

Colores lets everyone else into one of the offices of the Art Department. Many rows of seats, pin boards and screens on each row. This room is VERY big, big enough for at least... no more than 35 or so. There's posters around, sketches, concept art, and ideas of many sorts. I noticed that most, are for stuffed toy concepts. Why do I feel, we will all get a free plushie today? But alas, this place is nice. So... what else the Art Department can produce? (I wonder if blankets and tote bags are also made here, the concept for making them that is. If a tote bag, maybe I could use it to carry anything the tour offers for free)

Hm, while everyone is settling, I was just about to start make small interactions when Colores spoke again.

“The Art Department is responsible for all the designs you see around the studio from merchandise to websites, although the latter with the help of the Social Media Department! In general we always work closely together with other departments. For example also with the Film Department when it comes to ads!”

Not just the Social Media Department, even the Film Department works with the Art Department? Huh, well, that's a good strategy, even if have no experience with advanced marketing (only from what I heard).

“Among other things we also take care of the fanmail.” added Colores.

Um... what? Oh, right, Mr Puzzles here is very popular, so he has so many fans. But.... why is the topic of fanmail coming from? (and what does have to do with the Art Department?)

I noticed Mr Puzzles jump, and turn away from the window, as if the topic wasn't necessary to be mentioned- Oh!

The timing! (calm down Rayas) The nearest air vent that's just above and closest to the window, my drawing just flew out of it, and very quietly (how is it flying without sound?). It sticked to just behind Mr Puzzles, on the window as soon as he looked away (phew). Again, I cannot interrupt (the fanmail convo) since it'll be very rude of me; I don't want to rub people the wrong way, especially Mr Puzzles (from this world). Just, has anyone noticed it? Hopefully not. I don't want to hear someone indicating the drawing on the window, and give away it was mine (again, it has my watermark, and no way to deny the ownership). Sigh... I'll worry later.

At the moment, the convo changed to the story of someone, a fan, breaking in the studio to... propose to Mr Puzzles? (and with a ring?). While at the same time, glance back to the drawing in brief moments to not show my anxiety, and making sure it has not moved. But also couldn't help look that Mr Puzzles' smile was straining as the topic went, but still covering it by chuckling; I cannot imagine what is like to have many fans, going to lengths to see their idol, and someone reminding him of the incident. (In my mind, I want to be honest. In Colores' place, I would not mention any further if it makes Mr Puzzles uncomfortable)

I also am aware, what I imagine the rest of the tour participants are feeling right now as the topic went. But I rather not look around to see. I can hear them alright.

“Security was raised after THAT incident, mind you.” Mr Puzzles cleared his throat.

Well, that's a good thing.

Hold on... if security was raised, and while not looking around the ceiling, wonder if the cameras caught sight of my lost drawing flying around.

“These are filled with mail from Valentine’s day. We still have to go through the majority of them, but you won’t believe how much of those are fanfic-”

(I think that's enou-)

"AAAAAAAnyway-"

Mr Puzzles loudly interrupts (ouch my ears) and quickly jumps in front of Colores before she could say more about the Valentines' cards he received (and the fanfics). This sudden action makes enough for my drawing to fly above the window, and up to and around the ceiling... and somehow not landing (is it, taunting me?) on the ground or into the crowd, but onto a hanging lamp. (please don't move from there)

I wonder, wouldn't it be by sheer timing, the drawing passed by the cameras? And whoever saw it would compare the watermark to my head? But.... who knows.

Colores seems to get back to topic at the moment. I see there's a table with what look like.... stuffed toys?

“Ah, of course! My bad, I got sidetracked… Well, I mentioned before that our department is responsible for the merch designs, so I thought: Hey, why not give something to you guys? Let’s see…we have plushies of all the cast members and Mr. Puzzles, of course!

Oh, so I was right about the possibility of everyone getting a free stuffed toy. Sweet! Hah! The same ghost-like person is super happy to receive one (look at his tail go!) Looking at the plushies, they all look cute. To be honest, I find all stuffed toys cute (and comforting); cute enough that I would want to make a sort of playroom with many plushies I can fill it with. (Sometimes, it makes me feel like a kid again. But sadly, we don't live forever; only the memories)

...Huh, no Mario plushies? Oh, right... I prefer not to ask (how could he not known...? But again, I'm just a visitor; and this place/world is different)

I got slightly startled when Mr Puzzles tossed two plushies (Saiko and Bob) to some of the tour participants, one was close to me who grabbed the Bob plushie. Apparently, the Bob and Saiko plushies are limited, since the actual Bob and Saiko are no longer part of the crew. What happened? I don't know. Does anyone? Where their attitudes too much? (hope they are still out there doing fine)

Before bringing my attention back to the table of stuffed toys, I looked up where my lost drawing is sitting. It almost looks like is about to... to...! The drawing falls to one of the cubicles...

Rayas, it's okay I told myself. No one will notice it (if anyways). Relax. Remember the Tour rules, no wondering off. You'll eventually get the drawing back. You have not crossed the bridge... yet

Attention back to the table of plushies ranging from Mr Puzzles, SMG3, Tari, Meggy, Boopkins, and the limited Saiko and Bob plushies.

“So PLEASE, take one of your liking. Max is two.” Indicated Mr Puzzles as he moves away.

Well, guess I could get myself busy with receiving a free stuffed toy. Two per person. Well, looking that I'm holding my umbrella, I'm doubting if I'll receive two plushies max; my hands might be too busy. Looking that Colores is randomly giving them (is there or no choice to which plushies everyone gets?), I sort of though I saw from the corner of my eye, someone break from the group? (It's actually Astro by @the-masked-astro)Did they saw my drawing and went to look for it? If yes, then guess they'll bring it back to me. With my watermark of my head and name, it shouldn't be hard to know who owns it.

As I'm getting close to the table of plushies, I'm starting to think that maybe... I can ask Colores if she can allow me to get my drawing. But then I went against it, because after making things awkward with Mr Puzzles out loud, I feel like I don't trust telling her. What if she sees it and loudly praises it, and it gets Mr Puzzles' attention? Whether Mr Puzzles likes it or not (mostly), I don't think I'll want to have all attention on me (I cannot have that. Too many eyes). Not that I'm scared of Mr Puzzles rejecting it, and maybe toss it in the trash/tear in half, it's how I'll take it and have me to destroy it; anything I make from where I'm from and where it is made from, only I can unmake/destroy it.

(Note, this is the first time I meet a different Mr Puzzles. And... especially, too early to meet this special one. Maybe I should have abandoned the drawing...)

But... these are just thoughts of anxiety. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. It hasn't happened yet.

Now close enough, I focus back on the plushies. There's still more left, and deciding whether I just want one; considering I have my umbrella, one is enough. I wouldn't mind much which one, I'm between Tari and Mr Puzzles (from here). The former, because blue is my favorite color, and close to the color of my split hair; and because like her, I'm also shy, but I'm a slow-to-warmup. Mr Puzzles' plushie, a unique one; and it has the colorful cape-like coat. Hm... I could receive the latter as another thing to make me feel less nervous when around Mr Puzzles. (Or maybe, imagine if I get the fun idea that if by lucky chance, find other unique Puzzles Plushies from different places? And set them, like... a collection?)

I'm now very close to Colores now. What plushie do I get?...

Not the now rare Saiko (luck for the ghost participant) and Bob, or Tari,... but Mr Puzzles. (Guess I might start the Puzzles Plush quest, LOL). I smiled politely to Colores. And as I turn around to walk a couple of steps...

"Why, I like the creativity on the vest you put on." Colores complimented at me. "Especially the bow on the back. Oh and your blue puzzle piece tie clip."

I turn around and smile lightly.

'Thanks,' I thanked her.

(Colores by @4thwallbreakerdraws2)

I... I couldn't believe one of the heads of Puzzlevision Studios would talk to me; a compliment. Well, the uniform isn't the official uniform, but I crafted it as best as I could to follow the standards (and I hope I left the receipt back home). Besides, I saw some add their tastes to it, so I was right to add the stripes on the back, right shirt cuff and the mismatched striped socks (I love stripes). I... I almost forgot about my lost drawing there. Maybe things will go... fine?

"I cannot help but, notice, you seemed, worried?" asked Colores as she slowly keeps giving out plushies with her tail while facing me. (didn't know she could multitask as well) "Is everything okay?"

Was it very obvious? Or maybe she has a strong sense of empathy? Or maybe she noticed the meaning behind the blue puzzle piece tie clip? Sigh, guess I'll be honest with the issue of my lost drawing, but I'll be vague; and not point where the drawing is. I knew to always say the truth, but if anything else, prepare another truth for later.

Slightly fiddling with my new Mr Puzzles plushie and then my blue puzzle piece tie clip... As there's very few participants. And even though Colores doesn't have an actual face, I still get nervous when trying eye contact; a weakness I'm trying when meeting new people.

'Well, I... brought something (half true) that I made, ...but I lost it (half true). And I've been trying to see if I can find it... and... I'm too nervous to ask for someone if they seen it (still true), and to give it back if they find it. It has my watermark of my face in a corner... (true) I... I'm sorry, I didn't want to bother...'

I sigh in defeat as if sounding I'm giving up. I feel an hand on my shoulder. It was Colores, see appears to want to reassure me.

"Oh I see... Is it a drawing?"

I nod. I have to be honest.

"No worries, I'm sure what you lost will turn up. If anything, I'll try. For now, enjoy the tour." Her head and fingers change color to a pastel tone to it, what I assume was a calming and reassuring tone. And a pat on my back.

Walking to join the rest, this helped me calm down, as she hands out the plushies to the last people (some didn't get one, or some weren't interested). And... I'm considering if I should have told her that my drawing is just... Wait, I glanced just a little to the back before my focus was back on what next of the tour, Mr Puzzles and the same wandering participant (wearing blue and orange; complimentary colors) (and also in the drawing) were coming back... And the participant, doesn't seem to have noticed my drawing, nor have it as they came to join back the group empty-handed. (... crap. Pardon the expression)

Sigh... what now? (so much to have my hopes partially up)

While Mr Puzzles and Colores chatted a little away from the group, I'm mentally debating whether to go and recover my drawing. But... the rules are the rules. (I cannot be the second person to break away) Well, the least I can do before everyone settles, I can try to meet a few new faces then. While the TV head with the purple teeth and Kuromi cap was the first to interact, and even when she was polite enough to greet me her way, her straight frown... I sort of felt discouraged to speak to her again (unless her frown was just an act, maybe I can try again). There's still the other TV heads, but... I don't know; I'm still curious though. Looking around... There's a robot rabbit (Bunnybot by @selfshippinglover), but he appears to already be socializing with his own group (characters by @scimagic and @michaelscorneroftheinternet), a fish and human mix, and another person with glasses and Puzzlevision logo on their left lens; so no. How about... the ghost-like person with their limited Saiko plushie?

He seem very shy for some reason, like, he wanted to ask questions like he stated during his boast; or maybe they want to talk to someone. But he's hesitating. He's clinging to his notebook, writing stuff down. Hm... Okay, I can do this. Just a brief interaction. Um... hold on... I... I think I saw Mr Puzzles ending the convo from far away. But I thought I was very sure there was enough time to talk approach him. Sigh...

"Well, then...Since last time worked so well, how about I let you choose the next department AGAIN? (has his voice been loud before?)

Mr Puzzles has announced to start another vote. Everyone huddles over towards Mr Puzzles. Well, seeing that my drawing is still where it is, I think it's time for me to-

"...and don’t think about SNATCHING something that belongs to the studio, as great as some of the artist tools and merch look. Camera sees ALL and that jazz.~” Mr Puzzles added. And points to the cameras.

Well, I don't think anyone would (be bold) steal property from the studio. That's why security is there everywhere.

Wait... Oh, Oh no. I can't get my drawing! If I stray to do so, the cameras will see, and everyone would assume I stole something! I... I can't... Ugh, how unfortunate. Watermarked or not, I can't risk it.

While looking at the voting area, where everyone is gathering to cast, I pray a vote to the closest department if my drawing flies into a vent and goes there... (I voted after 5 participants did theirs)

Actually... while everyones wait for the results, I think I can do a last, very brief interaction with the ghost participant after voting after me.

I slowly approach him, but not too close as not to make him nervous. Hope he notice- oh okay, he is; and he's nervous, and confused. Now, after seeing his Boo tie earlier before reaching the Art Department, time to see if this approach works. I hold my Puzzles plushie and umbrella in arm, and cover my eyes with my other hand, but fingers slightly parted to see his reaction. (I hope he doesn't find this offensive, since if he's associated with Boos, Boos get shy if looked directly and would cover their faces. The least I want is to offend someone. I just want to at least, make just one friend, but at the same time making sure he isn't overwhelmed in his space)

"Hi," I greeted him, with one of my ears moving as if waving since my other arm was busy with my umbrella and plush Puzzles. "Rayas."

A small pause. Confusion... but then he smiles at last. (did my approach worked?)

(Also, I know Boos are known to play pranks, so please don't play a prank. Everyone is on tour, and no disruptions of any kind is tolerated)

(In addition, I'm sensitive...)

(And I also hope no one finds this strange, but hope some understand what it means)

"Hi." He finally said, sounding less nervous I think. "Loyboo."

(Hello Loyboo) (Phew)

Looking back at the votes...

Oh.... a majority seem to want to go to the Film Department, next.

Everyone is slowly leaving the art department one by one (hope it isn't going back down the stairs). One glance to my drawing... Still there.

...

Goodbye I guess...

Just... I just hope the cameras saw the drawing, and/or maybe someone sees it, looks at the watermark, and goes to give it to me... Sigh... I hug my Mr Puzzles plushie and umbrella for a semblance of comfort. I want this whole tour to go fine; and the drawing of mine, not ready to share it here, I just want it back.

(Or better yet, wish no one finds it)

I was walking at a slow pace, I might not realized I gotten behind the group, in the back, but close still. And after moment, the last one to leave the door, like 10 steps made, I felt a hand on my shoulder. It startled me since there wasn't any participants that could have been behind me. Let alone Loyboo (who seems to prefer being in the back), yet he's in front of me; but will he notice?

"Keep going," I looked up, and it was Lucian. The one with a neon sign head; and Colores' sister.

The group has slowed and then stopped for the final voting results (pretty sure the Film Department), but not yet the next instruction Mr Puzzles says, and Lucian's hand is still on my shoulder. Why...? I didn't do anything wrong...? I kept hugging my plushie and umbrella.

And not saying a word, Lucian lets go of my shoulder, and hands me a rolled paper in front of me. I was confused at first, but even if I didn't unrolled it, I pieced together what it was...! Lucian's head displayed the word "Alright"

"Don't lose it, Alright? He said, with the most relaxed tone in his voice.

All I answer, was closing my eyes and nodding, and whisper a thanks. And sounding relieved.

I don't know how Lucian found it, or what happened back at the Art Department since he's the last one, and Colores stayed where she's at, and after the group left. Plus, did he finally took notice, or was it his sister? (I don't know) But I'm glad that weight of self-consciousness and anxiety was off my shoulders. Thank you Lucian.

Sure enough, I unfurled it just a little, and it was the drawing. Phew. I tuck the drawing into my vest, and inner vest pocket. Feeling confident/calm now, I slowly went through the crowd; and carefully navigated the open spaces to go through the crowd.

What a relief to finally getting it back (I wouldn't mind if I didn't find it, as long as no one sees it; it can get lost in a place no one would see and know who did it. I can draw a replica, but polished). I think the Tour will go smoothly, and have less worries.

(hm... Patience is a virtue... Good things comes to those who wait. Yeah, good things have happened)

Well, I have crossed (part of) the bridge... but I think not until the Tour is over.

The Film Department is possibly next. Wonder where that is. If it's in a different indoor block, or a separate building. If the latter, pray that there's a use for my umbrella if the sun is harsh, or light rain is to happen.

(Why do I have a nagging feeling, that my drawing won't stay in my vest and might fly off again? It's probably nothing. And hope that even in my mind, I didn't jinx it)

-I complained so much about myself that now I'm managing to make a “decent” (and kind of official) story/lore for Mel-Loly and Primrose!!! I started and maybe/I think I'll finish it today!! :D

And I wanted to thank @thatotherman001, @pulim-v, @mistysparks, @shootingstarciuu, @hyia and @lucytsukii for making me feel that it's okay that I don't have an "official story" about my OCs and that I'm not the only one who is like this.. And that I'm not an "idiot" just because of that, there's no point in blaming myself, because, look! I'm now managing to make an (maybe) official story about my favorite OCs! So- yeah, I'm happy to vent to you and have so much support, and even if I can't make an official story about my other OCs, I won't blame myself, because I know that... It's okay not to have an official story or just don't have a story in general, I'm not alone in this and that there are a lot of people who are like this, creating answers on the spot for asks that maybe don't even fit your story later is normal and okay, and we can also create a story but improve it over time! It's okay to be like this and that creating an official story is really hard so... Yeah, anyway, that's it! Thank you very much again to everyone, I'll remember what you told me because it means a lot to me to know that.. I'm not and will never be alone on this! I love you guys a lot!! ^^💖

~ Okay! Kale the Frog and Kermin the Frog won the vote, so here's some explaining lol: ~

💚💙💚💙💚💙💚

They're sort of frog OCs for my Muppets High AU where I fix some of the Muppets roles, and originally, I wanted them to be the resident freaks of the high school, being on all the math teams (even the girl's), cheering loudly, hamboning and rapping during basketball games, any freak shit that could fit into the Muppets universe, or at the least Disney version.

💙💚💙💚💙💚💙

Now, I kind of imagine them being in a sort of scenario where they're childhood friends who are growing apart. And they're drastically different from each other. Kermin (The lime frog on the right) is the jokester of the two and usually doesn't take ANYTHING seriously. Kale (The turquiose frog on the left) is more serious and reserved, usually studying astrology and reading iconic vintage books (The Outsiders, Moby Dick, Treasure Island, etc.)

💚💙💚💙💚💙💚

In the beginning of the series (I imgaine my Muppets High concept to be 2D animated, kind of like the old Muppets Babies series in the 80s), they're similar to their original, but Kale just usually lets Kermin do all the fun stuff and only joins in when Kermin really wants him to. They're not exactly friendly, but they get along... from what we see. As the series continues, we see more of their relationship, and how toxic Kermin actually is. At one point, Kale realizes he's kind of gay for Kermit, and Kermin takes this as an oppruntunity to make homophobic teasing jokes towards him, which Kale obviously doesn't like. Whenever Kale accomplishes something, even if it's something amazing, Kermin brushes it off as nothing and carries on like nothing happened, undermining Kale’s success. And Kermin actually calls Kale ar 1AM every night to tell him about a dream he just had, which Kale doesn't like. Why are they still friends, you ask? Kale has tried multiple times to split them apart, but Kermin always convinces him to take him back, and Kale usually feels like he has to stay with Kermin because he's the only person who would tolerate his studies about book characters or science or math.

💙💚💙💚💙💚💙

This is when Kermit kind of comes in. Kale and Kermit share science-12 in Season 3 (Season 1: Grade 11, Semester 1, 1989. Season 2: Grade 11, Semester 2, 1990. Season 3: Grade 12, Semester 1, 1990. Season 4: Grade 12, Semester 2, 1991) and Kermit soon notices their interactions more, and during a Camping episode, Kale decides to finally leave Kermin (But then breaks down in front of Kermit after years of mental abuse after Kermin breaks him). But after that, Kale actually does end up leaving Kermin, and Kermin's really just like "Why are you leaving me, I've done nOtHiNg WrOnG". Kale still leaves him, though.

Anyways, if you listened to all of this, I'm genuinely surprised! Hope you have a nice day, you beautiful people!

El WooWoo Wednesday to y'all. It's been a while since I kicked one of these off, but here I am.

Also, I just posted one of those "Female character poll" polls, so if you're reading this, feel free to vote on it!

A while ago I got a comment on Isolation, a fic from the Dancin' on that bamboo ceiling series, a series that explores adoption and the Asian representation on Glee. After all, that was at time, uh, questionable. Isolation in particular is about the comments Tina and Yu-Jin (OC) get about adoption and this commenter said it resonated with them. On a whim, I decided to reread the entire series and this night, instead of sleeping, a new topic for a fic in this series came to me: names.

This takes place after Tina and Mike started dating.

Mike's mother Julia is an incredibly kind woman and Tina's nerves about meeting Mike's family fly out of the window. "So glad to meet you, Tina," she says warmly as she shakes Tina's hand, "Mike has said so much about you." "All good things, I hope," Tina says back. It's such a cliché line, but she still wants to impress Julia. "Of course, of course," Julia's smile widens, "Mike told me and my husband about how you met in Glee club and then got close on the Asian forum." "Well. We even went to Asian camp together," Tina says through gritted teeth. She still doesn't really understand why her parents sent her to Asian camp. Julia nods happily and then turns to Mike. She says something in Chinese to him and Mike groans, but smile. "Ma!" he says. "I say how it is," Julia continues, and then says another Chinese word that Tina obviously doesn't understand. Mike says something back in Chinese, which makes Julia laugh. "Oh, clever boy. I go to the kitchen now, okay? I made snacks for Tina!" Julia bids them farewell and Tina follows Mike to the living room. "Do I wanna know?" she jokes. Mike sighs. "Ah well, I always know something's up when my mother uses my Chinese name," he says, "But luckily, it was all good. She complimented you." Chinese name?

Ah, Asian camp.

I have A Lot more to say about names, identity, racism in the Glee fandom about this thing, and what not, so I'll put it under a cut.

That being said, I would ideally have some help here. If you speak/read Korean, could you help me out with the hangul of Yu-Jin's name (유진) and Tina's Korean name (Min Ji, 민지)? And also, if you are Asian and you have a Western name on top of your Asian name, like Mike in this snippet, could I ask you some questions?

Anyway, more musings and explanations on those questions under the cut.

The names of the characters that are central to this series are Tina Cohen-Chang, Yu-Jin Danvers, Blaine Anderson, Mike Chang and Wes Montgomery. That's an interesting bunch and lately, in real life, the whole idea of names and identity has come up a lot, cause most of my friends are trans, lol. We have this inside joke that, even though I am cis, I very much am part of the club of "people who use a name not given by their parents", since due to adoption, my parents never named me.

Someone asked me if I wanted to share my feelings about the fact that some adopted parents change the names of the children they adopt. I will delve more into that in this fic when it comes ot Yu-Jin and Tina, since Tina's name was probably changed, but I chose to give Yu-Jin, who is an OC, a Korean name. (Yu-Jin isn't a self-insert, since we differ a lot, but I'd be lying if I told you I didn't base Yu-Jin's name on my own.)

And well, names are powerful. Not only in mythology, but also when it comes to identity. And I realised that all character in this fic, apart from Yu-Jin, use a Western name: Mike, Wes, Tina and Blaine. So this fic idea started forming in my head, since there is a very interesting conversation to be had here.

So as I said, this chapter (or maybe multi-chapter installment) will be about their names.

Yu-Jin and Tina's story will be about the aforementioned discussion, since that has happened several times in my life and I have thoughts. I chose Min Ji as Tina's name pre-adoption, since that is Jenna Ushkowitz's pre-adoption name. I am lazy, I know. That being said, I might change it, since I also made the choice in this fic to not have the characters be exact copies of the actors who play them, which is why Harry's Puerto Rican heritage isn't part of Mike's character and Blaine's dad is Filipino, not his mom. I do like Min Ji, though. It sounds nice.

Anyway, The reason I'd like some help here is because I have zero (0) knowledge of the Korean language, so I have no clue is Yu-Jin and Min Ji also have a meaning in their hangul. If so, I could maybe use that for the fic. Heck, I don't even know if Min Ji is a surname only, or if it's a combination of a first and last name. Again, I'd like some help.

Wes and Mike have Chinese parents, so I am taking a wild guess here and say that they have Chinese names on their passports. That's because basically every Dutch-Chinese person with Chinese parents I know has this. Honestly, apart from adopted Chinese people, I only know Chinese people here under a "Dutch" name. (Although I do know one that has started using her Chinese name in daily life at the age of 27.)

The thing is that I do not fall into that category, obviously, which is why I'd like to hear some thoughts on it. In my life, I've always experienced Chinese names as a secret within the family. My other Dutch-Chinese classmates would go great lenghts to keep their Chinese names hidden. If people were to ask for their Chinese name, they would refuse to say it. I never understood the secrecy, so if someone would "let me in on the secret", I'd appreciate it. I mean, for this chapter I am using a cop-out by having Tina's POV be the POV on Mike's name, and Tina doesn't understand it either, but I would like to give truth to Mike's part of the story.

I could take the Radio Silence route, where Daniel consiously decided to not use Dae-Sun anymore, due to racism. We'll see.

Next, Wes. In canon, Wes's last name is Montgomery.

(EDIT: lol it's not, it is a big fanon name and the mandela effect got me.)

In this series, the explanation for this is that his parents changed their last name when moving to America, in order to better their chances in the job market and what not. This is based on Chloe Bennet, an American actress who once Tweeted that the reason she uses Bennet professionally is "not because I hate being Asian, but because America is racist" (paraphrased here by me, so the exact wording might be a bit off), since her name is actually Chloé Wang, (or Wāng Kěyíng if you will, which ties back to Mike's story). For Wes's story, I'd like to go back to the moment Wes first tells Mike and Tina this story on the forum.

(Side-note, in Myosotis series, Wes's middle name is Xiùlán (秀兰), which is not canon. Maybe I'll bring it back. I am aware it's a feminine name, though.)

And then we have our boy Blaine Devon Anderson. In this fic, I made the wild switch and made his dad Filipino, since again, we're working with canon here and his mum is portrayed by Gina Gershon. (Cooper is also biologically Pam's child, since yes, they're half-brothers here in this fic to explain why Cooper is white.) This raises the question of whether his dad already had the name Anderson, or whether they took the Jake Long American Dragon approach and the husband and kids took the wife's name, which is a reasonable explanation, but I also portray his dad as a conversative man.

That being said, the thing that came back from a deep, buried memory is... ah... fun times... the time people insisted Blaine, as a character, couldn't be a person of colour, because Blaine Anderson was a rich name.

Yeah.

The big rebuttal to that was obviously the fact that richness got immediately equated with whiteness, and that there are many other reasons that could've let to Blaine being named this way, but yeah, this was a thing. God, being in the fandom when Gina Gershon was cast was not a fun moment. The amount of "opinion pieces" I've had to see that basically were long rants on whether Blaine couldn't be Asian was kinda shit. (Shout out to the person who didn't want Blaine to be a person of colour, cause they're a person of colour and they hated Blaine, and they couldn't deal with the fact that they'd be hating a fellow person of colour.)

So anyway, I kinda wanna do something with his part about how assumption are made based on his name, especially coupled with his appearance. Wes Montgomery will still be clocked as Asian, Blaine not. (Darren actually had a very interesting conversation about being white passing with KAYE on her Golden Hour podcast.)

And that's the plan, folks!

There's obviously one big issue looming over me when it comes to names: the Cohen-Chang of it all. I've explained away other things, like Wes's name and Blaine's family situation, but ever since I came up with this series in 2017, Tina's last name being Cohen-Chang has loomed over this series. So far, I've been just ignoring it, but if I am doing a chapter on names... maybe it will come back to haunt me. There is in my eyes no great explanation why Tina's white family has the last name Cohen-Chang.

Since I am very adamant about working within canon, I cannot change it. Heck, the whole point of this series is giving the shitty canon representation of its Asian characters a place. Hence my dig at Asian camp in the snippet.

Well, okay, there have been explanations. Someone once suggested that maybe Tina's family is mixed as well and that would work, since we never meet her parents in canon, so nothing in canon contradicts me. It does contradict literally every other aspect of Tina in this series, since Tina's story focuses on transnational adoption, especially the story of a Korean girl in a white family. I admit I hadn't thought of this when I started this series, and I am afraid I am too far gone to find a way to add it. We can maybe go back even further in Tina's family tree and add an explanation there.

Another explanation, which is what I initially came up with, was that Tina's parents also changed their last name in order to make Tina feel welcome. But here is the thing: why Chang? It is seen as a Chinese surname. I am aware it can also be a romanisation of the Korean last name 장, but again, Glee canon presents it as a Chinese name. I think it is also pronounced differently in Korean, but again, I don't know shit about Korean. Jenna herself has mentioned in the podcast that it bothered her that Tina was given the same Chinese name as Mike since she's not Chinese (and Kevin was also shocked to hear the show never acknowledged that she is Korean). I wrote Tina's parents as being very sensitive about Tina's Korean heritage, so it would go against my fic to have them make this mistake. Again, I could pretend they used Chang as 장, since even though Glee did imply it to be the Chinese 常, it is never actually stated in the show, but hmmmm. Not only that, but 장 is more commonly romanisised as Jang.

Again, if I weren't limited to canon, I would change it. I have changed Tina's name to Cohen-Choi in my unpublished Sense8 fanfic, but in that fanfic, she isn't adopted and I changed multiple characters (shout out to Blaine Sotto and Brittany S. Pearson). Of course, since Glee canon itself is blurry, there is some freedom, but that freedom has limits as well.

Or maybe, again, I keep ignoring the Cohen-Chang of it all.

Well. That's my musings. If you're still reading this, hi!!! Have a puppy:

For the writing asks: M, J, B!

M - whats the weirdest scenario/au you've come up with? Have you actually written it?

Oh my god this is hard bc like how do you define weird. I think I've gotta give the shoutout to my long-running No Magic au of my original fiction, which is where i put all my really self indulgent wish fulfillment stuff for my ocs that wouldn't work in canon, purely because the implication that their lives would have been so much better if magic didn't exist is really funny. Also because in the no magic au Dezzy keeps on with her career in the theater and so I get to imagine all the shows she would have been in. If it weren't for all the magic. I havent written any of this bc there isnt a plot to the no magic au its just vibes. Like half of it is just me imagining the kind of twitter discourse there would be about my ocs if they were famous.

J - whats your favorite trope? Have you written it?

I loooove soulmate aus sorry im bad aromantic representation but they r so good... Like okay just to be a hater for a second but I think a lot of people are really unfair when they talk about soulmate aus and it's soooo clear they've never read any. Like it's actually pretty common to have aro characters and explore the aro experience in soulmate aus (altho theyre usually side characters) like if you don't like reading romance in general yeah its not gonna be your thing but in my experience the complaint that its insta-love or some kind of existential horror that forces potential aro people into relationships is just completely baseless. People will say "i would only read soulmate aus if they explored xyz" and then list things which are major themes in like sixty percent of soulmate fic. Ppl who write soulmate aus aren't idiots. They are in fact aware of and capable of addressing the Implications. The Implications are actually half the fun.

Anyways hater moment over. Yes I have! DM soulmate au is very precious to me. Like Daniel and Armand are literally soulmates you don't get it. Normal IWTV is already a soulmate au. To me.

B - what was the first fandom you read fic in? Wrote fic in?

Oh god I think the first fandom I read fic for was Undertale way back in the day. They had some diabolical shit going on in that fandom. And I don't even mean like sex stuff undertale fic writers loved just absolute nightmare angst fics. Flowey is Not a Good Life Coach fucked me up. Really good tho 10/10 do not regret.

And then the first time I ever wrote fic was for Wolf 359 because the finale fucked me up and i just lay awake in bed for like a week with that fic on a loop in my mind until i finally got up and wrote it lol. Actually very funny hypocrisy on my part because i saw a poll of least favorite fanfic tags and was almost gonna vote fix-it fics and yet my first fanfic WAS a fix-it fic..... Anyways i mostly dont read fix-it fics bc i like messy endings and my wolf 359 fic was a "goddamnit you do NOT get the clean separation of dying, get back here and answer for your fucking crimes" fic.

OFFERING COMMISSIONS (Art, Writing, Animations, and MORE) Please Read Full Post If Interested and VOTE

-

Waited a week and maybe a few extra days for this person to pay $50 dollars for this commission (lineart, color, and time) and they haven't yet sooo.. since commissions are a serious thing that I've mentioned time and time and time again here I'm just going to post it and let others enjoy the art since if I'm not getting paid, attention from people who will pay and pay on time are ones I'm reaching out to.

They mentioned wanting to pay with mobile deposit which I mentioned over and over again that I haven't used before and even after I looked into it mentioned that I wasn't comfortable with that method of payment. After waiting I've decided to just move on.

If YOU have the funds, are serious about payment, and happy to help someone trying to heal from their disability while also trying to keep a good head and some money in their pocket in the living situation they are in right now please dm me!

I do art and writing commissions: Art - open to headings, pfps, couple pics, OCS, favorite characters and them x OCS

And writing commissions: Fanfic - OC x OC, OC x cc, cc x reader, reader x OC, smut, angst, fluffy, yandere, etc

My commissions aren't cheap except for lineart but it depends on case. The lowest I'll go for an art commission would be $30 and the lowest I'll go for a writing one would be $5 but the highest I'll go for art is $250 with THIS being an example. (< Hazbin Hotel Banner) And $195 for writing up to 10k words.

Here's the picture of the art I drew but wasn't paid for.

I don't like usually posting the faces but I tried everything for a marker or something to cover it but since it's not working here's the time lapse. Anyway this commission made me want to do more pet commissions are well just for practice so if you want your pet and you drawn and are willing to pay money upfront or midway then my dms are open to you. For the most part I won't post it unless you want me to or unless you're like this person.

Poll for engagement to reach better buyers.

Prices can be debated of course, I'm willing to have prices change depending on what art you want, how much time it takes, and what is included in it. Cases most likely will be unique for certain people and things but as long as we both agree on the price I'm willing to accept anyone. I also wouldn't mind Commissions for smut art (OC x Sebastian Michaelis for example..) but that would probably be extra dollars so yeah.

I've opened animation commissions in the past but no one said anything about them so while these prices may change later at some point I feel pretty okay with the prices here. Imagine paying for smut art but basically animation. They will only be lineart until I grow more comfortable with coloring animations and when I eventually do of course I'll price up for cases to get paid what I deserve for my work. Just be patient with animations since they'll take a couple days to get done I'm sure but you'll absolutely get an amazing piece for commissioning me.

Never send me money unless I say I'm ready for it, with this being said I refuse to be blamed if you don't follow the rules and these many posts I've made for how I take and accept commissions. If you have questions ALWAYS ask them before anything else.

My ONLY Payment methods currently are:

CASHAPP

CHIME

VENMO

ONE

RIA

CURRENT

PayPal is an option too but not one I prefer using really. If you can't use any of these payment methods or refuse to please don't bother here with me. Give space for those who actually want and can help me please and thank you. Also if you are an account that shows up and tells me to DM you with no further information I will be immediately blocking you.

I look forward to hearing from many of you! Just please understand my rules, I'm so tired of explaining them all the time haha.

[sunny6677]

Okay so since I may be making something to do with the Greek God's in honor of my religion—I had two ideas. I don't know what would please my deities more—I'll probably have to ask them lmao.

Butttt I had two main ideas

1. A teenage OC who has been connected to most of the Greek God's all of their life, and constantly receives help from them or is communicated with by them during the episodes. But the OC in question is very unaware that it's not ordinary to literally be spoken to by God's and is thus not really aware that shes a believer of the religion at first. She isn't connected to ALL of them of course since there's only a few of them who 'chose' her quote on quote, but she has sometimes talked to the others.

2. Literally just Spooky Month, but the Greek God's are present and assist different characters with certain things.

I think this experience will also help me learn a little more about different stuff for my religion since I'm still kinda knew and am researching stuff about it anyway. I may just go with whatever my Deities would like the most even if the poll vote is different from what THEY might want./lh

[faun-the-fawn77]

New Short Story Idea?

Okay so when I finish the Rengoku fic in my drafts I kinda wanna start a mini(?) story of something that has been in my mind for a bit now.

I've been reading a lot, and I mean A LOT, of fanfics centered around isekai!reader x various and now I want to do something similar! Who doesn't love a modern girl falling into a world they love? This post will be the first of two. There will be a poll below so you can vote for what it asks!

Now, onto the plot(?) of the story.

We got modern girl waking up in new world. The part of the timeline? I kinda wanna start it near where the trio are at that mansion with drum demon. I'll have them wake up in the forest nearby and wander towards the noise. She's adventurous and the way she woke up into the KNY world is maybe she went out into the forest she normally goes and its an alice in wonderland situation where she falls into a hole and after falling for so long she passes out. She has a backpack that she usually takes with her so its got essentials. I haven't really come across any fics where the reader has like their phone or anything modern with them except for their outfit. I think it would be interesting if she had her phone and of course other modern things in her pack. Maybe food from her time, water bottle, battery pack with cords, polaroid camera(?), another set of clothes, and MAYBE a few of the KNY manga. It'd be cool if the art inside the books disappeared and were just blank? OR they stay the way they are and they show Amane who describes the scenes they open up to to Kagaya? And then he and his family is kind of the only people who know that she knows the future and he trusts her to let things take its course but she obviously will save the ones that she wants... cough cough rengoku cough cough... anyway!

it'll just follow the plot but with a new character from the modern world who spouts nonsense(Gen Z slang cause it would be funny seeing their confused faces when reader/oc starts dropping words like "rizz" and "gyat"). Maybe have that language barrier as well. Make reader/oc learn japanese(she'll only know the basics at first and definitely every curse word cause thats amazing). The few manga she has with her? Lets say she has volumes 18-20. Amane chooses the 20th volume to skim through.

Now, for the characters main characteristics(?) I guess. The obvious one being her breathing style. I would have gone with my main thing and choose ice but it's kind of generic cause i've seen quite a bit of fanfics with the reader/oc having that breath style. I kinda wanted to go with a more animal-like one like Obanai. He's the only one who has a style that's animal related and it would be amazing if we could get someone else who has an animal breath style. I actually might make three posts and have this one be about the breath styles to choose from.

Yeah, we're gonna do breath styles first so I can get an image of reader/oc's personality.

Poll below:)

I was gonna go for ten but I think these 8 are the most interesting to me. Dragon is actually calling to me but thats because I've been watching a lot of Game of Thrones...I'm actually putting it off because I've heard that the "Red Wedding" is the worst thing to ever witness and while I have not been spoiled for it, the reactions I have seen from people who were watching it for the first time made me scared but also insanely curious. If it really is bad then I feel prepared but that's because I'm going with it being as bad as me watching all three Human Centipede movies at a not appropriate age to watch said movies. That was off topic, I'm sorry.

Vote away! Next post will be to choose if you want it to be an "x reader" or an OC that I can create cause I love doing that and it makes me happy and gives me a chance to pick up my Apple Pen again.

The last poll will be the love interest(s). Do we want one or all? We will see>:)

[nenestansunsthings]

Ive been meaning to ask you to expand on this oc but i always forget please tell me more <3

EUNNNNN MY GIRL EUN!!!! shes originally for an scp-esque rp but milgram au eun is FUN. warnings for um. harassment and violence. also cannibalism

she worked as a cognitive psychology teacher in a college before her getting fired!!she ended up pissing off another teacher, sena, who started accusing her of misconduct and turning people against her and eventually ended up framing her for a crime to get her fired! what it is i dont know yet but im thinking sena smashed up a bunch of her own lab equipment on a night eun was supposed to be working late but left early (suspicious!!) and managed to convince people it was eun by disguising herself

anyway this got eun fired and they took the money for fixing everything out of her paycheck and she got kicked out of the school housing thing she was living in and no other academic job or eventually Any job would take her so. yeah no girlies been having a... rough few months

shes very bad at actually expressing her emotions, and tends to look pretty blank faced but like. shes been under a prolonged smear campaign and then got framed for vandalism and fired and was left basically alone for Months after that so. shes not doing the best at ALL mentally? and then she just happens to find senas house/address and even if the woman looks horrified to see her because sena is kind of self centred and an asshole she refuses to admit any wrongdoing and kind of. accuses eun of really being the kind of worthless person she'd thought she was, if she couldnt pull herself back up by her bootstraps and had fallen this far

so uh. welcome to euns three week long revenge stalking campaign! she does not know how to manage this situation and has long since gotten too overwhelmed to even try

this kind of. culminates in her getting into a violent fight with sena in the womans own home and stabbing her to death with medical needles and then. fucking dismembering the body and nailing body parts around the house like sick trophies. at some point she starts dissociating hard enough that she realises shes hungry and outright eats an eyeball. nobody is having a good time here

about a week later the police finally track her down (she came to once neighbours started trying to break down the door and promptly ran for it) and she spends some time in prison. a week and a half or so

and then she wakes up in an odd prison called milgram!

as for her songs— persecutor's hunt is her t1 song, framing her as a witch hunting down her victim. walpurgisnacht is her t2 song, after being voted guilty, and kitchen witch is her t3 song, after being voted innocent! i got some pics of my thought process for em. idk how many images im allowed to add in one post but if i cant add em all in ill do rbs

T1: PERSECUTOR'S HUNT

T2: WALPURGISNACHT

OKAY I CAN ONLY FIT TEN IN. ILL RB IN A SECOND WITH KITCHEN WITCH

Writing Update

Okay, so I know my poll has like 5 days left but the headcanons are so far in the lead, I can't imagine it changing during that time!

The funny thing about the poll is that it might not even be an accurate reflection of what my followers really want? I have over 700 followers now, but only like 40 poll votes lol. I don't mind or anything! But I have to assume that people who didn't vote just don't have a preference? And if that's the case then you non-preference-havers are absolutely winning lol.

Well, anyway, based on what those who did vote have voted for, the headcanons are totally winning by a lot!

The thing is, I kinda feel like most of the requests I get are for headcanons. So while I might post some that I come up with myself, I'm mostly going to leave that up to requests!

Which means in the meantime, I'm going to work on some of the other things. I was surprised at how many votes the daily chat scenes got, so I will be continuing that series. I'm going to do the rest of the characters, but I also have a few chats that I wanted to do for characters I've already done (yesss of course one of them is Barb lol).

I'm also probably going to do some of the other things, too, even though they haven't gotten many votes.

In the end, I always just write whatever makes me happy, but I was curious to see what kind of things people were interested in. I'm not too surprised by the results because my headcanon posts always get a ton more notes than any of my other stuff (with the exception of Solomon's Warmth which somehow has the most notes of anything).

I know OC and MC content isn't as popular, but again... I do this for fun lol. And I have some of these, so I might post a little about them. I haven't decided yet. I personally love learning about other people's MCs and OCs! So if you want to tell me about them, please do!

I really loved hearing from all of you during the event, so please remember that my ask box is always open for anything!

[sincerely-krp]

for those asking about starlight, hm.... where can i begin? there are ups and downs to the rp (and community), as is with pretty much every rp around. and as we all know, it's not everyone's cup of tea. and that's okay! an rp cannot cater to everyone's likes, interests and needs. however, with that said, i'm willing to share my personal experience as someone who joined within the first month of opening and left only recently.

the premise, lore and general set up is amazing. it's very interesting and easy to dive into if the genre is your cup of tea and you are interested in the oc + supernatural + slave/master themes. i know some may not be accepting of the slave/master theme, however... there are people who are, and are able to develop intricate storylines based of it that doesn't dive into the sexualization and fetishization of asian face claims, which i know has become a common fear by now. from my personal experience, i've seen people are joining with oc's with intricate storylines, and a genuine love for them, while having a space to explore the nsfw side of them which is more than often kept in private or banned completely in most rp's to date. so, in the end... i'd say that starlight provides a space for exploring an oc and their most carnal nature, which is natural to any human being—while exploring a supernatural side to it.

what i mean is... there's a general acceptance and a respectful nature to the whole theme of the premise. which is also what i loved about the place.

however, as has been mentioned earlier... the group is rather.... i don't want to say cliquey, but.... okay, let me try to explain this further...

starlight is one of the few (if not the only one) rp's i've joined where there is an ooc gc. it's very active, and it definitely helps provide a sort of community. however, the ooc gc can easily get side tracked by comments on stuff happening in the ic gc's, most commonly from the nsfw gc and also ship or smut related. and a lot of the times, it requires you to be 'in the know' to be included. and by so.... yeah, it can kinda feel cliquey.

there are muns/writers who are very active, and often around. and their muses are very loud. and if you vibe with them? it's a very good feeling. but if you join and are not used to the vibe (which is most similar to gen rp's from what i've been told over the time), you'll end up feeling left out. because people do use dm's, the ic gc's and the ooc gc a lot.

so if you wanna give it a shot? do it. but being extroverted and having your muse being outgoing like that too is probably a must too. because otherwise.... if you don't find a way to engage? like i said, you can easily feel left out.

with that being said.... i also have a fair share of things to say.

i genuinely find the admins sweet..... and i try to be understandable of things. however.... they do make mistakes. the rp runs with a 'jade coins' system, and i've had to correct the admins several times because they miscalculated the amounts of jades i earned after every activity check.

there was also, prior to me leaving, a standstill of the current event. and it felt like a rather big event since it encouraged some conversations in a certain gc. we were promised event updated because they influenced the whole lore and every muse in the rp but.... it got delayed so many times. and i understand ooc things come up. however, a bit fo clarity works wonders. an ooc post announcing the delay is perfectly okay! there was also a promise of a christmas event but... that never happened. anyway!

along with that, as well as the general gc's.... meta gaming was also a thing. personally, i had the experience that some writers ran along with some information, and made their own big story out of it. and expected everyone to accept it. it came to the point that a sort of voting system was initiated (based on the premise) to include muses and muns. but there are also cases where muns has been told, or interprets things ooc, and runs with it ic.

for me, personally.... what made me leave was the lack of inclusiveness. my muse was not an outgoing, flirtatious muse due to their storyline. and so they didn't partake in the regular nsfw shenanigans and talks, which easily made me feel left out because me and my muse wasn't fun and flirtatious etc.

however, i - along with other former members - spoke up about things in the ooc gc. some questioned the lore while others encouraged for the exclusive talks (the kind of talked that revolved around a small number of muses and writers) to be moved to a private gc so everyone could feel welcomed.

it came to a point that the ooc gc was removed for a few days, and since then? the vibe just felt odd to me.

i've heard from several former members i've made friends with, saying that the admins are very lenient to their core circle of friends. i still don't know who the admin's muses are, and i don't care at this point. but when i was around? there was a sort of unconscious favoritism.

i kinda felt that too when i voiced my personal opinion in the ooc gc. some agreed for a while, and then suddenly i felt like veryone turned on me based on what others were saying.

idk... it felt rather hostile in the end for someone like me who only tried to share my opinion, and because i didn't fit in? felt like an outsider. and it kinda threw me off, which kinda resulted in me leaving despite my love for my muse.

WITH THIS i implore you to understand... this is my personal experience. but this is NOT a general experience. this is what i observed and what i'd been told, but it may not be interpreted the same way for anyone else.

starlight is an amazing premise. the admins may need to touch up on a few things? but the general community is good. and in the end, it comes down to how much you are willing to put yourself into in. it has it ups and downs like any other rp, and that's how it is. and, at the end of the day, i miss the group and my muse. but for my own sanity, i had to leave so i didn't end up feeling like i was taking up space.

The story of how Ocean released snakes upon St. Cassain 

Based on my last post.

“Noel why are you insisting that we watch the show instead of movie?” Ocean asked, grabbing a handful of popcorn. It was the choir’s monthly sleepover and like usual it was a huge debate on what to watch. However, instead of insisting on some obscure French movie, Noel was vouching for some Disney fantasy show. Ocean has no idea why he was insisting on it, given that when they were seven he declared that the only thing Disney related media worth watching was Beauty and the Beast. This had interested the rest of choir so most of the votes went to watching the show. Except for Ocean’s but she was outvoted. 

“Because it’s a good show. Also it’s gay but that happens later.” Noel said. “So are we watching the whole thing?” Mischa asked and Noel shrugged. “The nights young. Literally. It’s only 7. But I need to get you guys invested in this show too, so probably.” Noel said with a mischievous grin. Ocean groaned. “The whole night! Seriously? You guys can’t be okay with this.” She exclaimed, turning to the rest of the choir. Ricky poked the coffee table with his crutch which caught everyone’s attention. He was sitting comfortably on the couch with Penny snuggled up under a blanket next to him. 

I’ve heard good things about it. And I’ve been meaning to watch it anyway. He signed. Penny giggled. “I saw a few photos of one of the characters online. I like the design.” She said with a smile. “Like Noel said. Night young, we have time.” Mischa said and Constance nodded next to him. “Yeah Oce! I’m sure it’s good if Noel is recommending it.” Constance said. Ocean sighed, she was clearly outvoted. “Fine, put it on.” She muttered, flopping back on the arm chair. 

Noel pulled up Disney+ and cued up the show. Since Ocean had been complaining about watching it, she had no idea what it was called. “The Owl House.” She muttered as it started. The show opened like a normal Disney cartoon. Except for the “Eat this sucker!” line. The was out of the ordinary for a Disney show, at least to her anyway. The show seemed fine until a certain line was said. “Oh so that’s where the backup snakes went!” The main character, Luz, said after glancing outside of the principal’s office to reveal kids being chased by snakes. Ocean froze. Then she kicked Noel. 

“Noel you jerk! Did you just put this on to remind me of the snake incident!?” She snapped. Noel blinked, confused. “Uh no. This literally has nothing to do with the….Snake incident.” He trailed off at one point, glancing at the screen and then back at Ocean. “Oh my god. This IS just like the snake incident!” Noel said with a cackle. This caused Constance to start laughing and Ricky to grin like manic. Ocean blushed in embarrassment. “Shut up! It’s not that funny!” She exclaimed. “What’s the snake incident?” Penny asked and Mischa nodded. “I would also like to know what snake incident is.” He said. 

Constance snorted. “Let’s just say Ocean doesn’t have a perfect record.” She said with a smirk. Ocean groaned. “Can we please not talk about this.” She said with a sigh. No can do. The incident was the ONE time you got detention. Of course we’re gonna talk about it. Ricky signed. “Ocean got detention?” Mischa said, surprised. Noel nodded with glee. “Yup! A whole months worth to be exact.” He said in a sing song voice. “Oh we have got to hear this story now.” Penny said with a laugh. Ocean sighed.  “Fine just after the story’s finished, never speak of the incident again. Got it?” Ocean said. Mischa and Penny nodded. “Noel, I know you want to tell it so you can.” Ocean said, making Noel grin. “Thank you, darling! Anyway it all started in 10th grade….”

_______

An 15 year old Ocean skips to her Biology class. In her hands she carries a shoe box. Today it was her turn to do a report on a living creature. You had to do an essay and a model. She chose to do hers on snakes. Now most kids had done simple models but Ocean had done something better and it would be the greatest thing that St Cassian had ever seen.

Since Biology was first period for her, she had no time to waste. She got to her classroom ten minutes early and was able to confirm with her teacher that she was going first. She spent those ten minutes going over her report until the bell rang. Kids started milling in, looking tired as they did so. Ocean wasn’t offended, she knew they would be more alert when she did her report. Constance sat down next to her.

“Hey Ocean!” She said, grinning at her friend. Ocean smiled back. “Hey Constance, you ready for my report today?” She asked and Constance nodded. “I’m sure you’re gonna do great!” Constance said. “Of course I will. I always do.” Ocean said as the teacher took attendance, not noticing the slightly irritated look on Constance’s face. 

“Time for reports. Ocean you’re up first.” The teacher announced after attendance. Ocean jumped up from her seat, grabbing her report and the box that contained her “model”. She looked over the students. She only knew 3 of them properly. Ricky, Noel, and Constance. Constance was paying attention, Noel appeared to be staring off into space, and Ricky was reading a comic book.

Well at least someone she knew was paying attention. “Fellow students. Today I will tell you about snakes. But first, like always, I must show you my model.” Ocean said and opened the box. The plan was to scoop up one of the snakes she had in there and start talking about it.

However when she opened the box, Ocean realized that the snakes were missing. She had put 5 snakes in the box because they were in her backyard and she needed a model. But now there were no snakes in the box. She panicked. “Uh so slight change of plans. Everyone run.” Ocean said quickly. “Why?” Noel asked. 

“Because the 5 live snakes I brought in as my model are missing.” Ocean said carefully, trying to remain calm. Silence fell over the room before someone screamed. This lead to everyone running out of the classroom, Ocean included. 

“Miss. O’Connell Rosenberg! My office now!” The principal announced after the teacher filled him in. Ocean gulped. This wasn’t good. “Sit down.” He said when she walked in. Ocean sat. “I have been told that you’re the reason why I saw a snake in the teachers lounge and why half of our students are running around screaming?” He said sternly. Ocean started crying. “Please sir! I didn’t mean to! Please don’t expel me!” She wailed. The principal looked at her alarmed. 

“You’re not getting expelled child. Your record is clean so there is nothing that would get expelled with this. However, I do have to give you a punishment.” He said, making Ocean blink. “Oh. So what’s my punishment?” She asked. “A month of detention.” He said simply.

Ocean sighed. At least it was better than expulsion. 

________

“And that’s the story of how Ocean got detention!” Noel finished. Mischa was laughing while Penny looked deep in thought. “Wait os Ocean the reason why we can’t bring in live animals?” She asked and Noel nodded. “Yes, I think so.” He said and Penny laughed. “Congratulations Ocean, you officially had a rule made because you.” She said and Ocean rolled her eyes. 

“Yes yes. And now let’s never speak of it again.”

[one-and-lonely16]

You haven’t been active today and i was concerned caz i thought maybe that six form thingy made you sad or something 😭 anyways im glad ure okay and just drawing :D tell us a bit about ur ocs? :D

ACK- U WERE WORRIED?? THAT MAKES ME HAPPY BUT YEAH IM FINE NOW

anyways

im glad u asked >:)

SO! blondie in the middle is called andi. she is captain of a ship called the black beauty. she ran away from home at the age of 19. her brother died when she was 15. girl got buckets of trauma. loves her crew. was voted queen of the seas a while back. pansexual. bit of a whore but we love her

the one kissing her head is ryka. she is the princess of aeria and she joins andi's crew for a brief time bc she wants to find the heart of the ocean (theres so much more lore but its like i dont wanna give too much away). the reason she's the only one really interacting with andi properly in the drawing is bc they are endgame. shes a lesbian but was arranged to marry a man (not bc the world is homophobic, its just she hated the rest of the suitors her parents approved of)

next to ryka is lukas. he was andi's childhood friend and first love. they were together at the age of 13-14, but eventually broke up bc best if they were friends (loved each other platonically not romantically. thats why hes further away than the others). however, when andi gets with iris and aria leaves, they fall out and he eventually goes to find aria. at the timeline in the story, he is dead

laying on andi's lap is rosa. she is actually one of my favourites to write. a girlboss. an icon. she is a prostitute, but like shes knows what shes worth and wont take shit from anyone. her and andi don't love each other (hence the reason u cant see her face), but andi is like her fav client and shes andis fav whore i guess (that sounds fucked up but like they genuinely are friends and care about each other)

on the floor is syrena. shes a mermaid. and like she is completely and utterly in love with andi (they have slept together) but it is one-sided. andi cares for her as a friend, but isnt in love with her. thats why shes on the floor and looking up, showing her devotion as such, but how unrequited it is. the definition of the other woman. shes actually really sweet (despitr always suggesting to eat ryka so andi doesnt have any problems)

the one looking up at andi is aria. she wasn't friends with andi as long as lukas was, but was still a childhood friend. she met lukas through being andi's gf at the time. they went out for a few months when they were 14, but then aria said she wanted to focus on training and they broke up (andi was starting to fall in love with her but understood and was ok being friends). after andi started spiraling, she left and joined the navy for where they are from (i cant remember what i called the place and my notebook is god knows where)

then last but certainly not least is iris. she is a priestess for the deities. she got with andi just after her brother died (andi doesnt have the best coping mechanisms) she knew of this prophecy about the heart of the ocean and whilst she did care for andi, she was kind of manipulating her for the deities so this prophecy could be fulfilled. andi worshipped her. i wouldnt say it was love bc of unhealthy it was but she was obsessed. when andi ran away, they said goodbye and broke up but yeah. shes really powerful. she does care for andi and then in the future helps them find the heart and fix all the problems that come with the heart

thats all of them in the photo, soz for the long post i could go on for hours
