i want to ask them ALL but 3 6 13 15 spinning around and twirling forever

the hilarious thing of i didnt realise you still kept an eye on this blog so i was just saving them but yESS YESS YES NO STOP. I NEED TO ANSWE R. I NEED TO ANSER NEOWWWWWWW

3. Who do you put through the most emotional turmoil?

THIS IS LIKE. SUCH AN INSANELY ... DIFFICULT QUESTION, BUT LIKE- look it has to be Kai, I feel like? Its kind of a combination of things. I feel like C (sorry that it's all of your guys here) has been through a lot of turmoil, just by their lifestyle- and it certainly hasn't not affected them but it's something they've always lived with and they can kind of protect themselves in some way, even if it is still just as damaging, meanwhile...

Like with Kai it's like: naturally predisposed to bad anxiety, and struggling with that as a kid, to then suddenly going through one intensely traumatic thing with no support afterwards. Quite the contrary- like I said, with C their very fierce independence protects them, and whilst Kai does actually insist on a lot of that himself, he is still insanely attached to Peach who... Yeah. Salt in the wound. Combine that with genuinely bad self-destructive habits (something that C certainly isn't a stranger to, but is usually in complete survival mode all the time, non-stop) and again, that predisposition which combines badly with all of the above and means he develops pretty bad complexes... Kind of means he's, like, actively on the brink in a way C probably isn't even though they've been through it worse?

Likewise... Peach went through the same thing as he did, but worse, and was really moreso the victim in a lot of stuff leading up to and during the situation but... Well! How she deals with that is something so impenetrably hard to unpick that- sorry yeah.

6. Who goes through the most relationship conflicts? (applies to any relationships)

This would be Naomi by leaps and bounds. I think I have a bad habit, in all honesty, where a lot of my guys are quite solitary (one or two key relationships) and those that aren't don't get into much interpersonal conflict. Bella, for example, is an absolute pushover; Emmerich doesn't give a fuck, so I don't think it counts.

Meanwhile Naomi is really sociable - she'll reach out, talk to people, and engage and get involved no matter where she is, because she enjoys company - whilst still being nightmarishly dismissive. That's something that can so often be misconstrued as her, like, sincerely not caring about people's feelings which... I wouldn't say is completely untrue, especially when she's dogshit at taking responsibility for things, but it's not in a "IDGAF that you're hurt" way, it's in a "literally, it's gonna make it worse if you make it that serious" kind of way. And that extends to her own feelings of upset or hurt: she'll pointedly ignore them (she herself will be like it's literally no big issue hand waves - which ironically, is sort of how Gage would also deal with more emotionally painful stuff? like if she can't fix it, she won't sit there and pick at at the scab; she'll just accept it for what it is and go welp) or completely remove herself from the situation (and circle back if the problems gone).

Combined with her pretty shit lifestyle after running away - meaning at times, she needed to be dependent on friends, partners, strangers - she's had a pretty rough history of pissing people off, making good friends and taking them for granted, falling into bad relationships that she ends up going back to cuz she ends up thinking "you know, it's fine - I miss them!" and a cycle starting over again. Because I feel like she's also, like, pretty fucking shit at doing the reflection to recognise what exactly is causing the problems here if it isn't glaringly obvious, or genuinely thinking that it'll be fine this time (or even worth it). Easily, she will end up going back to a toxic ex even if they had enough good times together for her to seek it out again, or if she genuinely does need a place to stay. I think there's also this element there, of like... Such repression of shit like that- it's sometimes hard for her to truly put things on a scale, because she's so pointedly not thinking about it, that there's a perspective that's sometimes lost. A well meaning person that snaps at her for doing something irresponsible and immature, can sound very similar to someone snapping at her in an abusive and controlling way, because she's just straight up not paying attention.

Although of course, in direct contrast... That is kind of why she never goes back to seeking her family again? At least not for a long time. Homelife was so entrenched in a trauma that she can't separate, and the only good parts of it she had she felt are gone. And Gage is someone she really does struggle to deal with- because everything he says sounds so serious to her, even when she knows it isn't, and he's so up-front that she can't avoid taking responsibility for anything or avoid telling him if he's done something wrong so it's like. Yup. Nope. It's like ground zero for everything she's struggles with (not that she'd recognise that) so she gives it all such a wide berth.

13. Who cries the most often? What are the usual causes?

My dearest most darlingest Bella weeps into her cornflakes and keeps those tears for her ovaltine. I'm actually so stumped to even say what the usual causes are. I mean I'm not: the usual cause is Bella working herself up unnecessarily, tying herself up into anxious knots, and not managing to keep a lid on it.

YOU KNOW HER. She is anxious about everything- but it's definitely at its worst when she feels like she's burdened someone with something, or sincerely messed something up, because that's when she gets into the even worse cycle of profusely apologising- starting to cry- profusely apologising for that- crying again- and- you get the picture.

I think other than her, I would say Althea. She cries significantly less than Bella, and rarely is it full on bawling, but I'd consider her my OC who's the most in touch with her emotions if that makes any sense? As well as being pretty empathetic and an awful soft touch. I think in particular, whenever she's really stressed, she's the type of person to get frustrated and teary and have to step back from the situation to pull herself together.

15. To cap off what kind of hurt/comfort scenarios do you put your oc in?

SEE GOD I'M SO UNSURE OF THIS QUESTION, LIKE- what kind? WHAT CONTEXT??

I hate to say it, but I do really sort of love illness/physical injury stuff - as incredibly vague as that is. Call me easy and predictable, idgaf. I just think, you know, a lot of my guys are kinda shit with dealing with it, and being upfront; being forced into a vulnerable situation, and genuinely needing the care for it is just too good an opportunity. I feel like I've probably thought of all of them compromised at least ONCE in some way like that, you know???

hey, @bellathetmntgeckolady, thanks for the tag!! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ i've not done one of these in a long time, so this'll be fun! i think things like this are nice little community builders; it's a shame not to see them as often.

"the rules of the game are to write one song for every letter in your url, and then tag as many people as there are letters in your url." reposting because those reblog chains get longggg.

also, i made a temporary spotify playlist if that's easier listening.

if you're tagged, no pressure to take part! i'll be tagging a mix of pals and folks i've never tagged before but who seem in my orbit. ...if your @ didn't work, i hope you see this somehow. <xD;;; take care!

@plantdonut, @grozva, @joyfuladorable, @sftgnge, @gatorkid509, @mojimallow, @badatusernames, @vdragon-creations, @adenthemage, @roquog, @maddys-nerd-blog, @yellowhollyhock, @figuringitoutasigoalong, @cheesy-che, @sassatello

because i'm insufferable, i'll also put some small character/song relevant thoughts under the cut. as a treat to myself.

reverence: this song gives me the feeling of being out on casey's farmhouse porch on late summer afternoon or at sunset. everyone's just kind of basking in the warmth, downtime, and company of each other. some might be napping, those awake are making quiet, idle conversation. it's just nice.

end of small sanctuary: this one always makes me think of raph and gwyn, specifically, sitting on city high-point at sunset. much like how it's used in SH3 when heather is just being a teenager at the mall and is probably music she'd listen to, this very much gives me the energy and warmth of raph and gwyn sitting in the setting sun, high above the city, with maybe some food and light conversation. a breath between The Horrors™.

dúlaman: i've been trying to find and listen to more celtic/irish music for a lot of reasons (so if you know any pls gib), but one is to better cultivate the sound and energy of liáfsian folksongs and music.

spanish sahara: how could i make this list without one of the songs that never fails to fuck me up. spanish sahara has been the driving 'score' in my head when it's come to a number of story scenes or character moments due to the slow build and emotional release of the song as well as the lyrics. i dunno. this song just moves and inspires me in ways i can't quite articulate.

tsunami: this song just feels so strongly like aislinn to me. the lost-lover part, sure, but especially the feeling of drowning and just... the instrumentals/vocals feel like her, too. i associate her a lot with water.

rainy day: no specific scenario here, but this score makes me think of and want to draw don or leo. the game it's from kind of has a melancholic nostalgia to it, and the vibe sits well with them.

inner universe: this song is all vibes for me, and it always makes me think of entering the territory of one of the liáfsian dragons and crossing paths with it. specifically the dragon i associate with leo.

no turning back: this score is fully for gwyn being on the run. the title, the strings, the faint ticking clock and building drums toward the end, the urgency throughout. it is, for better or worse, a reflection of what so much of her life has felt like.

give a fuck: sounds and feels like a nyxram song. hard to explain, this one just always makes me think of her.

resting grounds: this score's on my playlist for the liáfsian ruins, which is an area in the realm considered to be cursed ground (but no one knows or remembers why). the ruins are beautiful, peaceful. but you never quite have the sense that you're truly alone.

apocalypse: this song always makes me think of PtINL, i can't really explain why. it's on my personal playlist for the fic, and every time it comes on shuffle it just sends me back into thoughts of mikey, aloy, their travels and their bond.

voidfish (plural): first of all: LOVE the voidfish. second, this is another one of those scores that gives me the energy of encountering ancient liáfsian fae.

empires: this song always makes me think of a 'trailer' for gwyn and ash's arc. i think it's accurate not only for how the final conflict between gwyn, ash and darach will go down, but there's a hint at a much older threat in there and "the tides are turned" being that companionship has been found in the turtles.

neglected space: this song, without fail, always makes me think of and want to draw nyxram. there's something sad, lost and desperate to it.

I’m hoping to offer commission flash sales benefiting these kinds of fundraisers in the future so please keep an eye out for that! Appreciate you all!

(vetted here) Crips for eSims for Gaza- Providing eSims has been vital to helping Gazans stay connected to the world, and this is a crowdfund via the Disability Visibility Project doing exactly that. If you’re uncertain about the process of activating and sending an eSim yourself, this is a great alternative! Gaza Soup Kitchen- An incredible family-run initiative on the ground in northern Gaza, they feed hundreds of people in need on the daily and are hoping to help even more. Funds will help with purchasing much-needed ingredients, as well as expanding their aid to other areas.
