rosquez 22/67, if you resonate with that

space au + character in peril

WIGGG okay so this is classic space fighter pilot kinda thang where marc (near human "alien" lmao) is our crazyyyy fucking rookie and vale is training his class like wow. finally. a protege who can take up my mantle (getting a bit TOO close...) until they get marc's ass OUT of training and into real ass space combat and its like haha okay so marc is NOTTTT acting like this isnt a training exercise where you can run at 10% over the limit and not die bc youre in a sim. no hes just running at 10% over the limit all the time irl because that is how marc is naturally. like as a person. and vale has seen TOOOO many friends and lovers die like that, so after one particularly edgy mission where marc + a few other members of the squad almost dont make it he pulls back hard. does some shitty unilateral stuff "for his own good" like. stomach burning righteously. doesnt even talk to him doesnt look at him just demotes him, makes up a flimsy excuse to make it happen, and transfers marc out to the absolute wastes of outer space without even a hi how are you. like he fully sends his ass to like deep space nine. the quantum zone. just marc and the space sheep. rural. truly ensures that marc will never see combat and therefore never die and vale wont have to see him anyways so if he DOES die then he doesnt even have to worry :) and then he spends the next ten years dreaming about him like a psycho having weird telepathic soulmate dreams (i am stealing things from star trek fanon now. well i love to have fun) bc thats just what marc's alien species does to a mf.

well! jokes on vale, bc marc claws his ass back to the main fight based on sheer luck + confidence + skill + the marc marquez ability to bend reality around his will (marc voice i will NOT be transferred to pramac station...) and when he shows up it is the middle of the final showdown and the worstttt possible moment like. rescues vale's ass and nearly sacrifices himself to save vale (and he SHOULDNT EVEN BE HERE but HE IS, and vale recognizes the way he flies that thing somewhere deep in his bones... feels an insane sort of bone deep terror when marc storms directly into the thick of it...) and when they limp back to base, marc collapses as soon as he gets out of his ship bc he hasnt flown like that in years and the g-force fucked w him so bad and hes pale and unconscious (and fine. lol) and vale is screaming like. thinking hes dying and then when marc wakes up hes sitting there holding his hand... and marc looks at him and smiles and touches his face and says. i dreamed of you...

Then & Now: OCs & Gposing

Tagged by @sparrowsong-7 @l3ylines & @lynxden (thank you <3)

This'll be long and all over the place because I took a very different direction with gposing this years and it's been very uh educational. Learned to use posing tools less than a year ago and it's really given our characters more life and made a world of difference. Old embarrassing screenshots incoming.. (but the point here is to show ~Growth~ and I hope it motivates you to keep improving too. and push through all the bugs and that existential ennui hit when your game crashes before youve taken a single screenshot ;-;)

-

Random sentimental observations first, going through old folders..

My gurl aged. But the older she got the happier we both were. We discovered ✨boundaries✨ together.

Her fem elezen Era of 2013-2014 had a bit of both Gabriel & Theneras in her. Nerdy elf and grumpy elf were always there. Never realized. (also apparently we've always had that annoying light/shadow shimmer effect and it's not just a post DT lighting thing)

Apparently I've been wearing the same outfit since 2018. Sometimes you just put on a hat and your character says Yup. That's me. Forever. You'll just have to find a way to squeeze under. (sorry for +6 years of clipping, sweetie, but it was your gift and I'm never taking it off)

Gabriel and @pocketyoukai's Yuusei were besties since 2016 before they were RP characters. and he'll always be a loving doting dad retainer to her sister.

2020- Goose & Amalthea were girlfriends before we realized they were girlfriends. The ship sailed itself.

2018: discovered GIF making. Tried to put it to good use..

…but I just kept making shitposts. which didn't last long thankfully.

..And I'm glad it was short-lived, because when I focused more on telling stories through gposing, especially this past year, it's like my brain got rewired to view this world differently, through the eyes of a little sprout again. If I was going to use screenshots only and no words, I had to take shots/gifs of different things to set my scene and experiment with angles I wouldn't otherwise have considered (and fail 50% of the time and try something else. timing is so tricky😭)

..not to mention, when you're thirsty and need to work around censorship you also get creative with angles and visual subtext

It's 10x more fun and rewarding, albeit challenging especially if you don't want to use any crime tools. But doable. And just as fun and rewarding. And I want to do more of this (and fail and keep experimenting) next year and see you tell more of your stories your way too. and be inspired by and fall in love with your characters.

..I was very much 100% vanilla, as in not even shaders, until early 2020. And started using posing tools about a year ago. When you say "your characters have more character!" (you know who you are) I know exactly what you mean now and that makes me very emotional ;-; it really wasn't the case until less than a year ago. a lil criminal activity goes a long way.

Also vanilla kisses were so hard to gpose and turned out so funny. Note to self never to /puckerup for kisses. ever. But we did our best and learned a lot. A ton more kissing next year for sure.

-

A little late so not sure who hasn't done this yet. Tagging my new favorite gpose storyteller @quiethealer , @squidzure (you've shown us Rhea's glow-up but where is Birdie's glow-up!), partner in storytelling & crime @pocketyoukai & @pumpkinmagekupo

and if you're seeing this and are happy with the growth you've done lately... doeet. Show me your embarrassing shots and the shots you're most proud of this year.

Okay so I’m sending two in case you wanna draw something cool or something silly, so you can pick

Hero’s Spirit in the Sword Suit (one of the best non-canon outfits imo)

Bean in the Zora Costume (though ig it’s not an actual Zora to him)

[Image Description: The first two imbeded in the ask are screenshots from Tri Force Heroes of the Sword Suit and the Zora Costume. Next are two drawings, the first is Hero's Spirit in the Sword Suit, hat and cape flowing dramatically as they look over their shoulder, one hand in a fist. Second, Bean in the Zora Costume, smiling, hands posed in front of himself. End ID]

Bean would enjoy these Zora even if he would probably call them Frogmen before calling them Zora...

I'm gonna break the trend and ask about the jaysteph, please 👀

jaysteph heatwave!!! thank u for asking!!! (and @paprikadotmp4 thank YOU for asking about them as well!!!) this was supposed to be a prompt fic for jaysteph weekend back in august but. uh. well. these two losers have taken the reins from my hands and steered my fic off its neatly outlined course. anyways!!! heres a snippet <3

She grabs a strawberry lime popsicle and bites off the top. She lets out a hum of contentment at the coolness of the treat and smiles happily, and Jason promptly forgets what he was going to say in response. Blinking hard to try and reset his brain, Jason says the first thing that comes to mind. “I thought you would be more of a grape gal.” He motions to her popsicle. “Y’know, because of the purple?” “Grape?” Her face twists in disgust, voice incredulous. “The medicine flavor???? Eugh, get outta here with that shit. Gross. Even my love for purple has limits. No, strawberry lime is where it’s at.” “Then why-“ “Why do I have them if I don’t like them? Blame Tim. They’re his favorite; he brought them over.” They sit in comfortable silence for a moment, savoring their popsicles and the minor reprieve from the heat they grant. 

please ask me about my wips!!!

[dangerpronebuddie]

I wish you'd write a fic with a presumed dead Eddie and Buck is the one that has to call Chris (who is in Texas) that his dad is dead/missing.

Darling, you have read my mind. This is exactly what I want for s8!!!!! @tizniz and I wrote a little bit of presumed deaddie here, but we didn't even touch on the Chris of it all!

It would shatter me.

Buck clenches his hand into a fist, willing it to stop shaking before he picks up his phone. He doesn't want to do this over the phone. He doesn't want to do this at all. But he promised he'd be there for Christopher. Even if they were hundreds of miles apart.

He takes a shaky breath as he taps on Chris' number. There's every chance he won't answer. He's only been responding to the odd text Buck sends.

"Hey, Buck," Chris says as he answers.

Buck hiccups at the sound of the kid's voice. Two months without hearing him every day made his heart ache. He doesn't want to hear him because of this though.

"Hey, Chris," Buck says, his voice rough from tears and screaming for Eddie.

"What's wrong?" Chris asks, and Buck wishes the kid wasn't so perceptive, wasn't so used to bad news.

"I'm not... not trying to trick you, buddy, I promise. I wouldn't do this to you," Buck says.

"I know you guys wouldn't," Chris sighs. "So what happened? Is dad okay?"

Buck covers his mouth with his hand as an ugly sob rips from his throat. "No," he whispers. He clears his throat and takes another breath. "No, he- he's not, Chris."

What kind of fic do you wish I'd write?

[majorproblems77]

WOAH HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAJOR!!

My brain is not working At All rn and I have convinced myself that I actually dont know how on earth a one character one word game might work, but I’m just gonna throw out “Warriors” and “scarf” and really hope I’m not misunderstanding things 😔

I HOPE YOU HAVE/HAD AN AMAZING BIRTHDAY DUDE 🎉🎈🫶

- crazylittlejester

Heyyy!

Thank you very much for the bday wishes! The One Word One character is a prompt game I like to play every so often! So I ask for one character and one word and write a small snippet for it!

So what you've given me is perfect!

Warriors and Scarf

"Warriors?" A small voice from behind him as he was performing the task of folding his scarf.

Turning to its source the captain found the sailor. "Yes?" He said, patting the log next to him to invite the sailor to sit down.

"I wanted to ask, and I dont know if you'll know the answer but...." the sailor looked down to the captain's scarf in thought. "I know the scarf is blue because of the royal family, and it has the orange on it to represent the goddess. But why is it so long? You have to wrap it around yourself several times before it drapes down your entire body."

A fair question he supposed. One he had for the queen once upon a time.

"They say the length of the scarf is a representation of the long lineage of Hyrulian heroes of courage that came before me." He placed a hand gently across the fabric "Some jest and say it's so long that it could reach the lands above Hyrule from the tales of the ancients. But having been there I'm inclined to disagree." the captain laughed. "But I won't lie, sometimes I see it as a physical weight of the responsibility I have to my people."

"Do you mind that?"

"I did once, during the war. But now. No. Carrying the weight of responsibility as long as I have change's you. Makes you a stronger person."

"Was it hard?"

Another good question.

"It wasn't easy. It's still not. Somedays I wake and am reminded of how it felt the day I first dawned it." The captain paused, "The first time that happened in a while was when I met all of you."

"Is it lighter now?"

"it is." The pair sat in silence as the captain ran the fabric through his fingers. "It also makes a great blanket on cold nights..." He paused looking over to the sailor. An unseen glint in his eye. "And it's good for something else too."

"Oh? What's that?"

"It's good for..." He paused, grabbing the fabric in his fingers before shuffling ever so slightly closer to the sailor. "CAPTURING LITTLE BROTHERS WITH!"

In a flash, the scarf was wrapped around Wind, "HEY!" a screech escaped him as the captain laughed. "WARRIORS!" the sailor squirmed in the captain's grip as they both laughed.

Pushing off the ground Wind pushed into the captain, sending them both to the floor. chuckling and smiling as they both lay on the ground. Chuckles and smiles escaped their lips. As the captain lay on the ground, the sailor on top of him wrapped in his scarf.

"You know. You're right about the blanket thing. It's very warm in here."

And the captain smiled again.

Pairing: henren or madney?

This is mean. You're being mean to me while I'm ill. 😫 I love them both so much, but I'm going to say Henren because I'm manifesting fun things for them in 8b. ❤️

[pointyhatspointyears]

When portraying romantic or sexual scenarios involving your OC, do you aim to inspire a particular response in the reader or viewer? Whether a warm fuzzy feeling, or getting really quite turned on (or possibly both)?

Oooh there's no short way for me to answer this sorrynotsorry :D since every scene is written for its own unique purpose, narrative or otherwise. But generally...

There are at least two ways for me to go about it. There are romantic/sex scenes I write as an inextricable part of the story, the same way I write (or gpose) any other dialogue scene to evoke whatever emotion it's aimed at, whether it's fluff or a fun way to provide some exposition with some added spice. Absolutely no reason why we can't have steamy scene that also advance the narrative.

I even have a sort of "relationship phase" roadmap kind of list for our OC relationships, and every phase can be written differently and is meant to evoke different emotions.

Example of different phases:

Tentative / Tumultuous Phase e.g. the Enemies stage of enemies-to-lovers. There's tension. There's discomfort. There's violating boundaries not yet established. There's awkwardness and fumbling and no small amount of aggression. Fun stage :D and absolutely aimed at evoking tension and discomfort (or maybe unlocking a new kink, who knows)

Growth Phase Characters are learning more about each other lore-wise as well as boundary-wise. Or in case of less healthy relationships, how to push each other's buttons even further. Can also help advance the story the most, whether it builds up to bliss or hell.

Bliss Phase Self-explanatory. Usually there's equal amounts of give and take. Or at least they've learned the perfect amount to give and take. All characters involved are having a blast. The honeymoon phase.

Hell Phase Characters probably hitting their respective rock bottoms. Maybe they realize it's not working out. Maybe one of them is already checked out emotionally but can't quite leave. Maybe there's loss of trust or damage they can't get over/address and the relationship is never properly repaired. Breakups, yanno. Haven't personally worked up the courage to portray anything like that in an intimate way..

Balsamic Phase? or end-stage phase. Some sort of denouement they go through that results in a much deeper sense of intimacy and / or closure to their romance and/or sex life. The old married couple phase, perhaps, or parting ways on good terms and staying good friends.

I have lists of bullet points describing how characters feel about each other under every stage. and not all relationships go through all nor necessarily in that order. Bet we can come up with a lot more stages for specific stories too. I'm very normal about this you see.

So that's the narrative-advancing way to go about it for me.

Then, let's be honest, there are pure sexfics that are aimed precisely at getting you off :D both equally fun but written very differently, the former being more dialogue-heavy and not necessarily conclusive, and the latter usually more uh… descriptive and slow-paced. Personally I do like that warm fuzzy feeling in the latter as well. and the not so fuzzy. They can be plugged into any of the above phases. Both are good <3 def love reading both at least personally.

Thank you for the juicy question!

McSpirk hear thoughts 👀👀👀

this is the one I've probably posted most about on here, but not since last year - this is supposed to be my blank space for my mcspirk bingo card, and there's a lot of stuff about it here - basically magic-science shenanigans happen, and Spock and McCoy can suddenly hear each other's thoughts - but both of them think such nice thoughts about each other that they literally cannot address it, and without discussing it they both start lying/heavily implying that they're fighting in their thoughts (Kirk, of course, sees right through them).

This is also not a tight POV on one character (a tight POV on one character is like the only thing I've written for years now) so we'll see how that goes, lollllllll

__________

“I'm not trying to intrude, Doctor,” Spock says.

McCoy snorts. “I'm sure by now you can tell that I'm a little more worried about intruding on you than the fact that I suddenly can't keep a secret worth a damn, although let me have the pleasure of saying out loud how very unhappy I am with that situation, as well.”

“Want to fill in the spectator?” Kirk asks. His eyes are narrowed, and McCoy can see the gears going behind Kirk's eyes. You already know the answer, too, don't you, Jimmy, he thinks. Out of the corner of his eye, McCoy can see Spock raise an eyebrow, but McCoy just bounces lightly on the balls of his feet.

“Nightmares,” he says.

Kirk purses his lips a little in thought. “We've been on enough away missions together—we've been in each others pockets, enough, Bones. You don't get nightmares.”

“I don't get nightmares when I'm sleeping around other people. Generally, I don't get nightmares that much alone, either. But,” he says, lifting his hand up to tick them off on his fingers, “high stress situations, feeling not in control, headaches—”

“Headaches?” Kirk cuts in, frowning.

“Somehow I don't think their alien tech was made with human brains in mind. It's fine, it's manageable, but when I put it together with everything else—”

“Nightmares,” Kirk says. McCoy nods, and then glances back at Spock, who's been watching their interplay.

“Bad enough he's got to hear whatever song is stuck in my head all day. Call me crazy, but I'd rather not subject anyone—even our dear Mr. Spock—to a front row view of my nightmares, especially while he's awake.”

“You are not going to continue to sedate yourself to sleep, Doctor,” Spock says. He says it like it's a fact, and McCoy briefly entertains the thought of Spock chasing him down the corridors to get his hypo.

Spock doesn't so much as twitch, but McCoy can see, suddenly, Spock's completion of the thought: Spock snatching the hypo from McCoy's hand, dropping it to the ground, and crushing it beneath his heel.

McCoy rolls his eyes. “I do happen to the Chief Medical Officer, Mr. Spock, so I think that means—”

“I think that means you've still got to listen to your Captain, Bones,” Kirk cuts in. “Spock's right.”

“Jim—”

“I do have an...” Kirk tips his head to the side, a half-smile chasing the movement, “an alternate suggestion, Bones.”

He's met by two identical (in intention, if not in looks) expressions: eyebrows raised, a faint trace of suspicion closely followed by so much trust that some days—most days—it could knock Kirk right off his feet if he let it.

“Well by all means,” McCoy says. “Lay it on us.”

“You're bunking with me,” Kirk says.

I kind of became a monster now that I've got Baldur's Gate 3.

So here are some of my favorite screenshots of Innise!

Also I'm drawing her! I'm putting some of my own personal flair on her because as great as the character creator is I am also a picky bitch, this is still a WIP I'mma give her so much funky magic. She's a Wild Magic Sorcerer!!!

She's shockingly underdeveloped so I'mma put my ask game tag on here! Feel free to send me some asks and ask about her. She makes me feel feral shes so pretty and tall and ehjdbjsbdjsm
