I saw the ask you sent me and I thiugh I’d return the favor! Feel free to ignore it if you’d like. What is your favorite platonic relationship between any of your ocs?

Oh thank you!!

I haven't announced these people yet, but they're all from Nova Futurum. Rowan has quite a big friend group so I'll only mention 3 of their closest friends.

Logan

These two spur each other on and they always are ankle deep in some random trouble. There's the time that they were rough-housing and shoving each other around and Rowan pushed too hard and Logan fell into a freshly poured patch of sidewalk. No one was hurt and Logan was only vaguely upset. Logan is fiercely loyal and never lets people talk shit about his friends. When Rowan is upset, Logan is the type to convince them to have a boxing match to let out their emotions. When it's the other way around, Rowan helps Logan get out of his head when he's upset and convinces him to explore a new section of town.

Caspian

These two teach each other how to take apart and reassemble technology. Caspian is especially interested in how to use technology as a fashion statement, which works great with Rowan's expertise with cybernetic implants. Caspian is a quiet and patient person and often gives Rowan enough space to share their emotions without feeling terrible about it. For all their quietness they come up with some wickedly smart ideas that help the group enjoy their time together even more.

Nicole

Rowan and Nicole appear to strangers in Nova Futurum as the two best behaved in their friend group. It's true, Nicole is the one who thinks of the repercussions of their actions and tends to be the "adult" one in their group. But this doesn't stop them from having fun with the others. These two enjoy exploring, just like the rest of the group. Unlike the others, these two explore upwards. They climb together and bond together over exercise and things like their favorite tv shows.

This was really fun to do and helped me flesh out my characters a lot more. Thank you again for the ask!

This one's going to be interesting. I've been tagged once more, and I must find the name number of songs as there are letters in my url. The catch is that each must correspond to a letter in said url. The link to the post I was tagged in is here.

I have a whopping 18 lettres in my url. You can imagine how I feel about this.

@aspiringfictionwriter buddy you do not want to know what show this is

still cannot believe that they aired this on live television then continued to be upset about people shipping destiel

[harleyacoincidence]

I was tagged by @rickie-the-storyteller in an incorrect quotes shipping game. The link to the post I was tagged in is here. The link to the generator is here. I don't usually do shipping, but I have a couple canon relationships in Love Corrupts Fresh Lilies (Rafflesia and Hemlock as well as Jade and Ferphasia).

Rafflesia & Hemlock:

Rafflesia: I am so cool. I am an absolute Chad. I am the epitome of coolness and awesomeness—  Hemlock: Hi.  Rafflesia: *melts down in a flustered heap of softness*

~~~~~

Hemlock: Are you ready to commit?  Rafflesia: Like, a crime or a relationship?

~~~~~

Rafflesia: I owe you one.  Hemlock: That’s ok. You can just date me and we’ll call it even.

~~~~~

Hemlock: BE A BETTER PERSON!  Rafflesia: WHY?!  Hemlock: BECAUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO HAVE MORALS IN THIS RELATIONSHIP, AND IT SURE AS FUCK AIN'T GONNA BE ME, SWEETHEART!

~~~~~

Rafflesia, sweating: Hemlock, there’s something I need to ask you-  Hemlock: Finally! You’re proposing!  Rafflesia: How’d you know?  Hemlock: Rafflesia, you’ve dropped the ring five times during dinner.  Hemlock: I even picked it up once.

~~~~~

Hemlock: Rafflesia and I are no longer friends.  Rafflesia: HEMLOCK THAT IS THE WORST WAY TO TELL PEOPLE THAT WE’RE DATING!

~~~~~

Hemlock: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and pos-  Rafflesia: I wrote you a poem.  Hemlock, already crying: You did?

Jade & Ferphasia:

Jade: Are you sure Ferphasia's even gay? She barely looked at me!

~~~~~

Ferphasia: Look at me straight in the eyes and tell me the truth, Jade!  Jade: You can’t expect me to look into your eyes and be straight.

~~~~~

Ferphasia: Being gay is a constant battle between "I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds" and "Hey, let's go throw rocks at fascists" and I think that's very sexy of us.  Jade: If the window's open and you time it right, you can do both.

~~~~~

Ferphasia: So you like cats?  Jade: Yeah.  Ferphasia: *tries to impress them by slowly pushing a glass off the table*

~~~~~

Jade: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are my clothes too. Don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt.  Ferphasia: Fine, but when I come strutting in with your fuzzy socks I don't want to hear shit.

~~~~~

Ferphasia: Hey, random question, what are your favorite flowers?  Jade: Peonies, why?  Ferphasia: Jade: Were you going to get me flowers?  Ferphasia: Jade: Ferphasia: ᶦᵗ’ˢ ᵃ ᵖᵒˢˢᶦᵇᶦˡᶦᵗʸ

~~~~~

Ferphasia: I want to kiss you. Jade, not paying attention: What? Ferphasia: I said if you die I won't miss you.

This is certainly new, but overall was an enjoyable experience.

New writing game because I’m so tired and I’ve been sad that I haven’t been up for as much writeblr lately.

So

Reblog this with one line, devoid of context, that you wrote today (or the last time you wrote).

I’ll start:

It wasn’t, really. Not nearly as sharp as chocolate.

I’ll gently tag @writernopal @moonluringfrost @abalonetea @author-a-holmes@ albatris @sithbelle @moonshinemagpie @keysandopenmind @mister-writes @gummybugg @sam-glade @stesierra @akiwitch and @k-v-briarwood because that was who I could come up with off the top of my head but if you see this consider yourself tagged!

Thanks a bunch, it's much appreciated!

@dickgumshoesconfettishredder @funky-writer-man @fairycosmos @lady-yfrit @animentality @madamedepp thanks for always giving me something funny or thought-inspiring to reblog.

@aspiringfictionwriter @ashwithapen @aziz-reads @albatris @chiefblossom @olivescales3 @miles-style @the-down-upside-finch thanks for not being afraid to share your talent.

@ancientsorcerer @lordpudi @talesfromtheunknowable @desolationgerry thanks for spamming my notifs, your enthusiasm is nice to see.

[digital-chance]

ahhh the e name thing is so relatable! thank u for the tag!

Lucian vs Theodore is too easy to explain because 90-95% of the book is them fighting in some way. I'm gonna put Lucian (SoD) against Rowan (Nova Fut).

If Lucian and Rowan were to fight each other it would be so fucking chaotic. Lucian would use their powers against Rowan using their tech and battle strategies. Ultimately Rowan would win because of the strategies they would come up with because Lucian is paid to go in and save people instead of caring about stealth and hiding from guards.

your question is: How would your OCs react if they had to preform on a stage?

OKAY!

WRITEBLRS if you're seeing this, you're legally obligated to reblog with an answer, and then a new question for the next person!

Here's the start:

Which of your OCs is most likely to punch somebody in the face?

[fire-but-ashes-too]

thank youuuu!!

i think i did one with one of my OCs over here (please check it out im really proud of it eheh) but never done this for myself!

*cracks knuckles* here we goooo

are you named after anyone?

yes and no, i just so coincidentially happen to be named after my maternal great grandmother, tho it wasn't intended (at least, not that i know of)

when's the last time you cried?

a few nights ago after i woke up from a nightmare where i had a spider on my feet biting me. dont ask. i panicked.

do you have kids?

nope and i dont intend on having any.

do you use sarcasm?

every day. as much as i can. my beloved sarcasm <3

what's the first thing you notice about people?

not the first thing i notice probably, but the one i remember more vividly, is the voice. i have a sound memory (is that how you call it? i cant remember) so i do this thing sometimes when im bored where i say the same sentence in my head over and over, each time in a different person's voice.

what's your eye color?

very boring brown. my right eye has slightly more greenish tones in it tho.

scary movies or happy endings?

uhmmmmm nice question id also like to know. no idea, it varies from time to time, as long as it's good idc. (rewatching rw&rb for the second time atm hehe)(why did i notice just now that in the red room scene the portrait behind alex while he's waiting for henry is ALEXANDER HAMILTON??? my internal theatre kid is screaming)

any special talents?

I HAVE DOUBLE JOINTED FINGERS. MY THUMB CAN GO UP AND DOWN AND APPARENTLY ITS SCARY BUT ITS SO FUN. and i can bend my fingers more than normal.

i also have a very quick memory and can loop my tongue.

where were you born?

here where i live, in verona :)

what are your hobbies?

an infinite moltitude of things. too many to count.

painting, drawing, writing (duh), reading, doing absolutely nothing, crocheting, doing clay stuff, baking/cooking, making plans on how to jump out of a winfdow in case lessons get too boring, learning progressively concerning and detailed facts about literally anything, acting and watching musicals. that's all that comes to mind rn.

do you have any pets?

none sadly, i've wanted a cat for a very long time, then a rabbit, a hamster, a fish, etc. my parents were always either allergic or against having a pet so i never had one.

any sport you play/played?

im an aerialst! i do aerial silks and aerial hoop and i like to think im pretty good at it (modesty aside its probably the first sport i've ever really been great at so.. yeah.)

when i was little i tred volleyball (a disaster), gymnastics (again, a failure), swimming (not bad but i didn't like it that much), skiing (i only went on winter break tho, and i absolutely despised it, although i won a couple races) and... yeah that's all i've done more than a couple lessons at.

how tall are you?

1,60. short. i think.. 5.2? i use the metric system sorry haha

what's your favourite subject?

uhhhh probably history... yeah. it's the only subject that the more you go into it the more interesting it gets, and it doesnt really grow harder like maths you know.

what's your dream job?

definetly acting. the idea of telling stories by becoming part of the story feels so amazing to me.

the ultimate-dream™️ is acting in a film/series based on a book. the fact that someone views and pictures you as a fictional character, as a character people read about, and talked about... best thing ever.

that's it! thank you so much for reading this far :D

15 Questions 15 Mutuals

@kaiarchives tagged me in this game that I haven't had the pleasure of seeing before, so that's exciting. The rules are: Answer the 15 questions and tag 15 of your mutuals.

1. Are you named after anyone?

No.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Last Sunday. I don't think it was for any particular reason, I just had a headache and was feeling down.

3. Do you have kids?

No.

4. What sports do you play/have played?

I played a bit of a football as a kid and a bit of volleyball for school. I also did range shooting in my tween years.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Quite a lot. I've been trying to cut back and be a bit more genuine, but my habit for being sarcastic and my generally low moods have given me a bit of Resting Bitch Voice, so people don't always pick up on it.

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

Facial shape I think. Before I learn someone's name I generally remember them by the shape of their jaw and cheeks.

7. What's your eye color?

Blue, but it's a kinda greyish blue.

8. Scary movies or Happy endings

I like scary movies with happy endings. Give me protagonists who face down with the worst of humanity or the nasties of the world and come out alive and swinging, if not a bit traumatized.

9. Any talents?

I'm told I have a way with words. In general I don't believe in talent in the "innate skill" way though.

10. Where were you born?

Oslo, Norway.

11. What are your hobbies?

Writing, reading, movies, video games (mostly strategy and roguelikes,) I used to sing in a choir and I kind of want to get back into that.

12. Do you have any pets?

No. Haven't really had the opportunity to, but I'd like to get a dog someday.

13. How tall are you?

178 cm, so... what, 5'10?

14. Favorite subject in school

Language and it's not close at all. Social Sciences as a second place I suppose.

15. Dream Job?

Author. Give me a way to live from writing and I'll churn out books at a brazen clip. It might drive me crazy, but it'll be worth it.

I had to find a WIP that actually had a last line so I could complete this. Here it is:

"He “died” multiple times after that, but was never truly gone, for reasons neither host nor demon could figure out."

I'm not giving any context for this.

Last Line Tag Game!

Thank you for the tag, @amaiguri!

The last thing I technically wrote was a very spoilery line for Stained Integrity, so I'm going to post the last line I wrote from another WIP (Minding Q's):

He was already done dealing with people for the night—and possibly the rest of the year.

...I'm realizing this is actually kind of funny when there's absolutely zero context.

I am still trying to learn the ins and outs of tag games so I'm sorry if I'm a little clumsy

[harleyacoincidence]

Thanks for the tag! I'll try to answer this the best I can.

Three Ships: I'm not really a big shipper, but Audrey x Seymour (Little Shop of Horrors), Percabeth (PJO), and Spirk (Star Trek TOS) are three ships I'm not opposed to.

First Ship Ever: Probably Percabeth. I never really paid attention to ships when I was younger.

Last Song: Bring Me to Life - Evanescence

Last Movie: Scooby-Doo (2002). I felt like some nostalgia last night.

Currently Reading: The Portrait of Dorian Grey - Oscar Wilde

Currently Watching: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (again)

Currently Consuming: Everything Is a Lot - Will Wood

Currently Craving: Freshly popped corn.

Thank you for the tag, @serendipminiewrites! (And just so everyone knows, I may be answering on this blog but my Writeblr is @the-down-upside-finch! I still need to make a pinned post so people are aware of that haha)

Three ships: OH BOY This is actually a tough question for me because I don't really ship characters when I consume media? I'm really big on QPRs and "parental figure" relationships above all, though, so... I'm just gonna pretend I answered this the way it's supposed to be answered.

First ship ever: OH JEEZ uhhhhh I think it was probably Grovyle and Celebi in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky when I was like seven years old??? (I'M SORRY I REALLY DON'T SHIP A LOT OF CHARACTERS AKJDAKHDAJKKJADJK)

Last song: Knives are Dangerous, Kid, So Cut The Theatrics! - Jhariah

Last movie: ...The 1997 Batman Movie (Batman & Robin)

Currently reading: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (by James Joyce)

Currently watching: Well right now I'm "watching" American football because it's just on the TV while I'm sitting here at my parents' house, but I'm currently trying to find time to finish "The Owl House."

Currently consuming: THIS ALBUM (A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO FAKING YOUR DEATH)

Currently craving: A soft pretzel, specifically from the mall.
