Flirty ace characters? Alex. (Not saying sexy because she's a minor.)

Emotionally clingy aro characters???? LEXI.

Bi characters who can't make eye contact??? Or flirt?? Ash??

Deadpansexuals do you know Noelle?

Completely masc non-binary Kristoff and completely femme Ritchie have you met??

Trans characters who don't completely pass as their gender but aren't the butt of the joke is also Ritchie, Beau, and Gretel

Anyway meet my OCs

give me ace characters who are unabashedly sexy and flirtatious.

give me aro characters who are emotional and clingy.

give me bi characters who can't even make eye contact with anyone, let alone flirt with them.

give me pan characters who are deadpan (haha get it) and have black cat energy.

give me non-binary characters who dress completely femme or masc, who don't “look non-binary”.

give me trans characters who don't completely pass as their gender but are still respected and not the butt of a joke.

fuck the stereotypes, give me more variety in queer representation.

I get too excited with these things, so below the cut!

Robbie: So according to the cease and desist order I got, apparently you can’t ‘legally’ be a lawyer if your license is ‘cut out of a cereal box’.

Carmen: If I die, you can have what little I own.

Jedi: Wait. What do you mean "if" you die?

Carmen: My unending existence is fuelled by pure spite, that of which the painful experiences of life have rendered me full.

Jedi:

Jedi: *Sighs* Let me call your therapist again.

Gwen: Without ugly, there would be no beauty in this world.

Ash: Thank you for your sacrifice, Robbie.

Lexi: Question. When they shot Bambi's mother, did you find that a sad moment...at all?

Carmen: I'm sure she's mounted on a nice wall in a fine home somewhere.

Maddie: Oh god, she texted you ‘hi.’’ punctuation only means one thing, Lexi. She's mad at you.

Lexi: No, it's Noelle. She's just being gramatically correct!

*meanwhile*

Noelle: And then I used a period so she'd know that I'm mad at her.

Robbie: A period doesn't say 'I'm mad', it says 'you're dead to me'.

Noelle: I stand by my choice.

Ash: God is no longer with us, I’ll take over.

Robbie: Think you can answer some questions without the usual level of sarcasm?

Rose: If you can ask the questions without the usual level of stupid.

Ash: *Pulls a glass a water from out of nowhere*

Noelle: Where did you get that?

Ash: My pocket.

Noelle: How do you keep a glass of water in your pocket?

Ash: Skills.

Noelle: Okay, who's turn is it to give the pep talk?

Robbie: It's Kelsey's turn.

Kelsey: Don't die.

Robbie, wiping a tear away: Truly inspirational.

Gwen: We’re going to defeat you with the power of friendship.

Noelle: We’re not friends.

Gwen, holding an axe: We’re going to defeat you with the power of incredible violence.

Kelsey, handing a balloon to Rose: I have no soul. Have a good day!

Rose, walking off: I don't have one either.

Kelsey: I never tell people off the bat that I'm gay. I wait. I wait until they say some homophobic shit and then I laugh and am like "you know I'm gay right?" and watch the look of terror on their face.

Maddie: Kelsey likes to say ‘you can be part of the problem or part of the solution,’ but I happen to believe you can be both.

Robbie:

Robbie: I like you.

Maddie: What did you get Akash for his birthday?

Rose: I got him a kitten.

Maddie: Really? Me too!

Kelsey: I also got him a cat.

Robbie: Looks like we had the same idea.

Rose: Lexi, please tell me you didn't get Akash a cat as well!

Lexi: ...I got him a kitten.

*later*

Akash, in his apartment surrounded by cats and kittens: This is the best birthday ever!

[romitritrashswiftie]

My toxic trait is that I LIVE for problematic/forbidden/borderline toxic relationship tropes in books.

The age difference/power differential between Romitri…loved it.

The hate-filled/borderline abusive relationship between Jericho and Mac…couldn’t get enough.

The beating-the-shit-out-of-each-other between Casteel and Poppy…yes please.

Don’t get me wrong, my real-life relationships are not toxic and I demand the respect I deserve, but I like my fiction problematic and steamy.

Sue me.

"Close the window"

Lexi - "is it alright if I close the window?"

Maddie - *closes the window without asking*

Ash - "I'm gonna close the window"

Gwen - "it's a little chilly; is it alright if I close the window?"

Robbie - "is it alright if I close the window? Cause like you don't know how many people will be spying on us or otherwise being creepy. Also, bugs! Who likes bugs??? Well I guess some people do. Like Derrick from fourth grade? Remember that? Also--"

Akash - "is everyone good with me closing the window?"

Jedi - "excuse me? Is it alright if I close the window? It is getting awfully drafty in here, and I am concerned for anyone who may be allergic to bugs coming in, or even some pollen."

Character Voice Tag

@amaiguri tagged me in this, thank you! it looks fun! [their post]

Rules: Write a specific sentence in several characters' voices; you can also use a single action line to help, but the focus is on syntax!

My sentence is, "This morning, breakfast was bad."

Guri brought up context so I thought the context here would be the characters on the vessel in space*. It also limits the cast, since there are so many of them in my series.

Loke: "Limited food options here, huh?"

Jake: "Food this morning, what was that? I've never tasted anything like it before."

Adina: "Breakfast was shit."

Lucy: "May I inquire if the breakfast offered this morning is supposed to have that texture? I see."

Kari: "Breaking fast with food like that makes me understand why the humans are so meek."

Spacy: Throwing their hands in the air, unable to taste it, they don't concern themselves with this matter.

Ash nearly faints

Take a shot of water every time I say water in this excerpt

Argument between Rose and Maddie

Gwen meets Akash

Find - from The Secret Portal Part One (Ash POV)

I felt like collapsing in a cluster of red ferns by the time I reached the trees. Soon, I was using the trunks to hold myself up. A sudden ringing in my ears made my head feel like it split open. I let out a cry as I pressed my fingers to my forehead. I heard a little girl screaming. I tried to find the origin of the sound, but I found no one. The screaming didn’t stop. I kept going forward, covering my ears, trying to make it go away. I collapsed on the ground in a patch of violet-colored flowers, curling into a ball. My head spun as I stared at the petals. They weren’t like any other flower I’d seen. Their purple color was so vibrant, I debated its existence. There were three layers of tear-shaped petals swirling around the center, creating a dizzying spiral. I closed my eyes; the petals were making me sicker. Slowly, the screaming stopped. My vision cleared. I shook my head and pulled myself up and rested my body on the nearest tree trunk. I closed and opened my eyes slowly as the world slowly came back into focus. What just happened? Who was that?

Water - from The Secret Portal Part One (Ash POV)

I entered the kitchen, pushing off the wall so I could rummage through the cabinet. I pulled out a glass and filled it with water from the fridge. I guzzled the water but almost spit it out. As soon as the water graced my lips, a sudden blue light flashed in front of me. Shaking it off as an effect of the devices, I refilled the glass to the brim. The blue lights happened again. During the third refill, my eyes rested on the time, a small light on the fridge. It was six am. There was no way I used the devices before even two. And there was no way that vision took more than five minutes. “Shit!” I hissed as my shock caused the water to spill over the glass. I guzzled the water again before grabbing a towel to clean up my mess. Once I did, I stood back up, tossed the towel on the counter, and looked at the clock again. I sighed. I wasn't sure what I was going to do in the remaining time that I had before everyone else awoke.

Did you take the shots of water? Do you have to pee yet?

Star - from The Secret Portal Part One (Maddie POV)

“What’s happening?” Rose murmured. “You lead us through a death portal,” I muttered, joking slightly. Rose swiveled her head toward me. “Excuse me? You were the one who had a mental breakdown when Lexi didn’t answer her damn phone!” “Well, Lexi and Ash ended up here, so I had the right idea,” I said, not sure why she was mad. “Fine. You were right. Gold star.” Rose glared down at me. “And don’t blame me for what happened to Noelle.” “It’s partially my fault,” I said, lightly pushing her away from my face. “I suggested Lexi's disappearance, but you led us here, so a bit of yours, too.” Rose stepped toward me again. “This. Is not. My fault.” “I said it’s partially my fault,” I insisted, pushing her away again. She pushed me back this time, which irritated me. I only pushed her because she was in my face. “Why don’t you admit you’re partially responsible for Noelle’s injury?” I pushed in retaliation this time. “We’re gonna get her to a hospital, and then we’re gonna look for my sister, who you seem to have forgotten about because you’re too wrapped in yourself to care if Lexi’s okay.” I bit my tongue. That wasn't a good thing to say. I wasn't sure where it came from. Rose’s jaw clenched. She lifted her fist—I thought she would push me again, but she just jabbed me with her finger on every word— “Don’t. Ever. Say. I don’t care about Lexi. She means more to me than you could imagine.” “I’m her sister,” I pointed out. “How could you—” I poked her back— “imagine how much she means to me?” Rose took a step back. She looked down at her feet for a second. I did the same. Gwen pointed out I was arguing earlier when I didn’t mean to, which sometimes happened to me. Arguing wasn’t gonna get Lexi—or Ash—back, and it wasn't gonna get Noelle to a hospital either. I wondered if Rose would hate me forever after this.

Fly - from The Secret Portal Part One (Gwen POV)

My left foot slammed into a vent cover, knocking me off balance and causing my butt to slam against the cover, knocking it off. I fell through the hole and somehow managed to grab the edges of the vent. I heard the cover crash onto the floor below me as I dangled from the ceiling. “Hey, who’re you?” a voice said. I looked around, trying to find the owner of the voice when my eyes finally rested on a boy. He was probably a year or so older than me with dark brown skin. He had short and spiky hair and his ears stuck out a little. He wore a yellow polo t-shit over a long-sleeved white shirt and dark-blue jeans. It took a moment to realize the boy was at eye level while I hung from the ceiling. I looked down and saw the boy’s feet were a good ten feet from the ground. He was floating. “Who are you?” the boy repeated. I looked back up. I realized he was kinda cute. Even with the messy bedhead. “Um, Gwen.” “Akash,” he said. Actually, especially with the messy bedhead. I realized I was staring when Akash smiled. “You’re new around here, aren’t you?” When I didn’t answer, he added, “You want me to help you down?” I nodded, and Akash wrapped his arm around me. I flinched slightly—a cute boy was touching me!—but allowed him to do so. I let go of the vent and let him fly me to the floor. I suddenly realized I had wrapped my arms around him. I quickly pushed away from him. “Thanks,” I muttered. I glanced off to the side and panic ran through me when I noticed a bed. I could feel my cheeks turning red. I just fell into a cute boy’s room! As if I wasn’t embarrassed enough.

130 - The Urn

“It's awfully dark in here” - She grabs my hand; my shoulders grow numb. The faceless sob; so too, legends become just that. Sisters grieve; one for attention, the other, the unknown. But one jaw tightens; oh so and so confused.

“It's awfully dark in here” - Ashes to ashes; and soot's if simply that. He's in a jar; but then again, before's ajar. I cough; there's a hair in my throat. He understands; but the others never would.

“It's awfully dark in here” - She grabs my hand, again; I can't feel my neck. The faceless sob; I'd never strike their story. Sisters grieve; One indignant, the other, soon to be too. I nearly nod off; the dreams feel so much better.

“It's awfully dark in here.”

- Hathaway Hayes (2014)

[whoiwanttoday]

The world is often full of some inherent contradictions that make it hard to navigate. Experience is really the only compass we have, which is why in theory we should listen to our elders but in reality a lot of them have dementia and the truth is an experienced dipshit is still a dipshit, so if you are young you don't really have the experience to tell which else is wizened and which one is just old and bitter. Like drugs are a good example. I grew up in an era where we sure were told a lot about how bad drugs were. I remember this one PSA where it was a guy in profile and he started talking aobut trying pot and the top of his head turned to ash, then he did more drugs and more of him turned to ash and eventually he like died in a gutter and all ash and got blown away at the end. It's scary stuff but as you get older you see other people do drugs and they don't choke on their own vomit at all. Instead Jessica Miles makes out with them. It's not at all what the PSAs warned us about and you start to feel a little lied to when you realize drugs actually make you feel good and if you do them then people think that you're cool. Obviously, it takes time to know there are degrees to all of this. You can do all the lines of coke you want off of a computer desk at 7 AM while sitting in your underwear and writing about who you want to fuck today and pretty much no one will think that you're cool, so context still matters but it is one of those inherent things that meant I saw a lot of people swing too far one way and then the other in response to this sort of thing.

Anyway, I was thinking about this and how we can really vacillate too far one way or another and Anne Hathaway and Christopher Nolan. Nolan recently said he didn't know what the line meant, "You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain" meant when he put it in the movie and I am with him there, like I kind of got it but it felt like a cumbersome line and no one had ever said that before so why did they act like it was a common saying. People say it now though and boy does it resonate as we as a culture turn on things and people. Anne Hathaway said in an interview about how hard it was when the internet turned on her. I remember that. I never quite got it but I was told it was because I wanted to fuck her so I was blinded to what a monster she is I guess. I'd love to counter this claim but my dating history makes it pretty clear that this is entirely possible. Anyway, I don't want to discount the possibility that Anne Hathaway is a monster but the truth is none of us know. She's certainly not our friend and I am willing to believe I would find most celebrities unbearable in person. This is just because they live in a world where they are surrounded by people who makes sure they know they are the center of the universe and I don't really know how that doesn't turn someone into an asshole. Like I have a ZZ Plant in my kitchen named Spencer. He's named Spencer because someone once told me plants are supposed to have names so I named him Spencer. Then they told me that's a stupid name and I said, "You're mom's stupid". We both laughed like it was a joke but I kept the name Spencer just to tweak her and I hope deep down my witty comeback still haunts her when she can't sleep. Anyway, my point is I don't particularly care about Spencer's feelings or if he even thinks Spencer is a good name. I water him when the notification comes up on my phone and otherwise kind of ignore him. What I am saying is lots of plants might think I am an asshole because I consider myself to be far above them and they might be right but Spencer is the only plant here so those other plants are just guessing. So Anne Hathaway might treat people like garbage or just sort of not think about them because she is supporting them and watering them but I don't know. So the idea that celebrities are someone to lionize or vilify is kind of weird but I think about my friends now who give their kids lectures on drugs when I fucking saw you rolling at foam parties and pretty much groping anyone who would let you. We aren't great at inbetweens. So like, sorry Anne Hathaway went through that but it's kind of just how people work. I had a point here but I lost it, I was too caught up laughing about how much it probably burns that I named my plant Spencer and got off a sick Mom joke on someone 4 years ago. I guess my core point is today I want to fuck Anne Hathaway.

That was quite the hilarious prompt LOL

This is hilarious 🤣

"What did you just break?"

Lexi: (if it's important) visibly upset - "What did you break?! Did you break that?! Why would you do that!? I told you not to do [that thing]!" (if it's not important) "What did you break? It's ok it wasn't your fault" even if it was

Maddie: "Did something just break?"

Ash: "Did you break [thing]? No? Ok"

Gwen: *yelps slightly* "What was that?! What did you break?! Are you okay?!"

Robbie: (he immediately will assume the breaking is his fault and will panic - or he just didn't notice)

Akash: *flies into the room as fast as possible* "what did you just break and also are you okay?!"

Jedi: (doesn't say anything just goes to assess the problem)

Carmen: "WHAT DID YOU JUST BREAK IT BETTER NOT BE IMPORTANT!" (internally: "please let it be something my uncle owned")
