How well would your OCs do against a cockroach tag game

Rules: rate your OCs by how well they'd do against a cockroach.

@space-writes this seems like a fun game, sorry it took me a bit to get to. I've dealt with cockroaches before (such as in my childhood home in Oceanside, California) so this one was pretty easy for me to imagine with some of my characters.

I'll tag @aether-wasteland-s and @gummybugg (no pressure tho)

Rina Woodshed: - Would probably find the bug interesting - Catches it in a jar and gives it a name - Her mother would get mad at her and make her release it - 8/10, Would probably cause some damage chasing it

Lafayette: - Foxes eat insects, so I could see him eating one as a snack - 9/10, Point deducted because even if it's true it's still gross XD

Sonja Kruger: - Has a strong aversion to bugs/filth due to her past - Would have an immediate anger response and try to kill it - 6/10, Definitely would cause some collateral damage due to flinging around her ice magic willy nilly.

Vernar: - Would just zap it without hesitation - Might make it come in contact with any others nearby to also gain control of them (proxy zapping) - 10/10, Would either make them march harmlessly away so Sonja doesn't freak out or use them as reagents in a potion.

Ven of House Samoa: - Immediate freak out - Not used to seeing bugs at all because his house is so clean - 0/10, Would flee and require one of his servants to take care of it

Sachin Mishra: - Has dealt with this problem before because he lives in California. - Immediate lock-down and sanitation of his place, sealing food in special containers, finding and getting rid of stagnant water sources, and spraying the crap out of his apartment (face mask + dual-wielding cans) - Consequently, this would lead to his apartment becoming the cleanest it's ever been in a while once everything is taken care of - 10/10, A true roach hunter.

Nikki Lang: - Would have a heart attack at the sight - Said freak out would probably happen during her streaming and get clipped, ending up on youtube - Has no idea how to deal with them but would probably grab like a belt or a boot - 3/10, Has to get over initial fear reaction to do anything but is ready by the second encounter.

Sofia Mary Lang: - Treats the issue very seriously - Doesn't want an infestation to affect her business or her daughter's well-being - Would shut down the bakery and salvage what goods she can - 8/10, Wouldn't deal with it personally, would just call in an exterminator

There were so many characters of mine I could consider for this, so I decided to pick from a handful of my different "groups" so there was a varied spread of reactions. XD

How Well Would your OCs Do Against a Cockroach Tag

Thanks for the tag @axl-ul!

I don’t think I’ve done Gwen yet, so here’s how she’d react:

Gwen: Would be calm about it because she’s gotten used to living with bugs, it was common in her living conditions. She might not even notice it anyway or care enough to do anything about it.

(Sorry to cut this short my phone’s dying.)

Tagged by the lovely @axl-ul! You can find their original post here. (Seriously, give it a read. There's some funny ones in there!)

I had way too much fun with this. I think this is the first post where all the major characters for my Festival project have been listed under one post.

Mariela: Mariela does not do cockroaches. She does not do any creepy, crawly thing with too many legs. She'd rather face off against a 'roided MMA fighter or rabid werewolf than deal with those little demons in her kitchen. Equipped with bug spray and a good broom for whacking (and let's be honest, probably on a chair to limit the possibility of it jumping on her), she'll attempt to vanquish it. Every bug that enters her home is a declaration of war. She'll do what needs to be done, no matter the cost. (All else fails, she has her dad and more cooler-headed friends on speed dial).

September: September's a bit of a hoarder so seeing the odd cockroach isn't unusual for him. He crushes them without much thought with whatever is handy. Paper rolls, cups, his own thumb if he has to. He has done worse things with his hands, but the state of his house is his secret shame. One of these days, he'll give it a proper cleaning.

Hero: Hero is largely indifferent to bugs, but prefers them not to be in his home. He won't kill them. He doesn't like killing anything. He's an expert in the "catch and release" method.

Emery: As the man of the house, Emery doesn't suffer bugs lightly. He pays good money for a bug sprayer, and diligently walks the perimeter of his house to ensure there are no breaches in his mighty defenses. If a cockroach manages to get through all that, of course he'll take care of it. He's the man of the house. He may grumble about all that money he spent on a bug sprayer. He may be a little jumpy as he approaches that slippery little demon. He may also need his wife to ask if he'd rather she take care of it, in order to fortify his courage (and his stubbornness) . But in the end, he'll take care of the damn thing.

Regina: Regina doesn't handle cockroaches. Those are the perks of having two boyfriends. She and Da'von will offer each other moral support while Kar actually takes care of it.

Hakeem: Hakeem is too tall of a man with too bad of a back to go around chasing after tiny little cockroaches. He also has too sensitive of a nose to tolerate any bug sprays. He'll set up a system of traps (glue, zappers, the works) to take care of it. His wife, Lucille, doesn't have the heart to tell him that she could've handled it quicker with a wad of toilet paper.

Maddie - 11/10 would turn into a cockroach and try to lead it out of the room

Ash - 10/10 would just pick it up and take it outside

Gwen - 7/10 would jump noticeably and tense up but immediately finds a tissue/napkin/etc to go squish it

Robbie - 3/10 would let out a series of expletives and scurry out of the room

Akash - 5/10 would keep flying toward the ceiling and hang out there until someone else takes care of it

OC vs. a cockroach

Thanks for the tag, @oh-no-another-idea!

Rules: Rate your OCs on how well they’d fare against a cockroach.

Let's go with the Rival kids for this:

Ambrose: 2/10 - a roach? in his shop? he thinks the fuck not. that sucker is OUT. GONE. ANNIHILATED

Eli: 5/10 - doesn't like 'em, but isn't as fazed by them. Will toss them out in the street or kill them if he can't easily throw it somewhere.

Dawn: 1/10 - screaming. so much screaming. probably grabs a blast wand and kills it that way. there's so much destruction. it doesn't matter, the thing is gone now.

Sherry: 7/10 - similar vibes to Eli, but far more efficient.

Banneker: 10/10 (or 0, depending on your opinion of roaches) - absolutely doesn't bother him unless they're in his kitchen. he's probably set up a tiny bed for them somewhere in his workshop.

Grim: 8/10 - swift, silent, no-mercy murder.

@thepeculiarbird sent me this one - thank you! go see how her OCs deal with this disaster here. passing along the tag to @finchwrites, @indecentpause, @space-writes, @notwritinganyflufftoday, and @dyrewrites, plus an open tag for anyone who wants to torment their characters with household pests 😈

Rules: rank your OCs based on how well they would do with a cockroach

have a grab bag of OCs from various projects, ranked from high to low in order of competency (plus, the tumblr debut of Jules, V, and Jacqui from my new, very-tentatively-named WIP: You Up?):

Jacqui: Catches it in a tupperware and takes it outside. Then throws away the tupperware, washes and sanitizes her hands, and performs a ritual to magically bug-proof the building for the next month. 12/10 for preventative measures.

Mina: Throws a shoe across the room at it. Nails it in one hit. 10/10. FATALITY.

Jules: Uses the double-plastic-cup method to catch the roach. Takes his new buddy on a tour of the nearby dumpsters until he finds one the bug seems excited about. Releases the bug into the alley of its choice. 10/10.

Baz: Scoops it up in his bare hands. The feeling of it skittering around kind of breaks his brain for a minute; stands there, awkwardly holding a cockroach, until someone reminds him to put it outside. 7/10 because it does end up outside eventually.

Lienzo: Pretends he doesn't see it until someone else shows up and deals with it. If he has absolutely no choice, he'll find the largest, heaviest thing he can and smash the roach. Then there's the crisis of how he's going to clean it up. 5/10.

V: Jacqui says they're not allowed to use alchemical bombs on household pests anymore. So they grab the lighter and hairspray. 3/10.

Phi: Makes scathing comments in the roach's general direction until it gets the hint and leaves. This doesn't work very well. 2/10.

Qedlan: Looks up the correct way to deal with cockroaches. This takes long enough that he loses sight of the bug. He can't find it again. He lives in fear for the next week. 1/10.

Ari: Calls Mina to come kill it for her. When Mina inevitably refuses, she resigns herself to living with it. She names it Roachfort. It lives in the corner with Spedro (the spider she couldn't kill last week). 0/10.

OC vs. Cockroach

Tagged by @mysticstarlightduck here! I had to do this one right away because it was too funny to imagine and I need a break from writing…

Rules: Rate your OCs on how well they’d fare against a cockroach

For the Tomb of Light cast:

Hettie: 9/10 Hettie loves bugs and little crawly creatures (snails are her fave thing ever). She has seen a lot of roaches in her life and while she doesn’t mind them, she recognizes they are pests. Lavender is a natural insect repellent and she would have plenty of that on hand to harmlessly deter them from coming back.

Oliver: 0/10 Hates nature, hates bugs. He has spent the majority of his life indoors and doesn’t like things that live outside. Including people. He would see the roach and scream for dear life until it was removed from sight.

Adrin: 10/10 He spent his childhood outdoors being bitten and swarmed by everything nearby. He thought it was hilarious to sneak roaches and spiders into his house to scare his mother. He would help Oliver out, mostly to shut him up, but also because he doesn’t mind touching them.

Mara: ??? She knows a good source of protein when she sees one.

OC Vs Cockroach

@starbuds-and-rosedust got me for this one, check theirs here ^.^

Rules: rate your OCs on how well they’d fare against a cockroach

I is tagging @aziz-reads and @kaylinalexanderbooks

I've done a silly scene for these before, so let's do that again.

For rating, however, I think they'd both get a 10/10. No fear; irritation if anything. But we're going to make it worse, so I hope this is fun to read.

->it got away from me, so it's under the cut<-

Lucient insisted we stay in a brownstone we'd passed one too many times while getting entirely lost in all those towers and cars and people. It claimed itself a bed and breakfast, and he was intent on calling it home for the full month he wished to explore the city.

And so, while he charmed the sweet old woman at the counter into a lower price, I took our things up to the room.

I found it waiting for me on the pillow. A cockroach, bigger than any I'd ever seen, making itself at home on what was to be our bed. Last I dealt with one, it was at an inn in Tuscany and Lucient refused to stay there when he saw it. Not out of fear, mind, but propriety. He claimed it a sign the place was 'cheap', threw a fit at the staff and had us thrown out. We spent hours looking for another place to stay and ended up back on the ship as he ruled the whole of the region a backwater waste of his time and money.

I was not going through that again.

The roach had to die.

It is here feel I must assure you, dear reader, that I am not a fearful creature. I do not mind insects, or arachnids, or any creepy crawlies.

But I take issue with swarms. Of anything.

And there was a swarm under that pillow, which became one out of the walls...and up through the floorboards. Chittering and scratching, those roaches poured out of every nook and cranny.

So Lucient, and the sweet old woman he spoke to, were audience to my stomping down the stairs with all of our things in hand. Not screaming, but making a sound very close to it--through tight lips, as more roaches began falling from the ceiling.

"We're leaving?" Lucient asked as I clamped a hand on his arm, "but she just agreed to less than half."

"We can't stay here," I kept calm, despite the things crawling in my hair, down my shirt, into my pants, I kept calm.

"Treasure," that tone, somewhere between scolding and pouting that tone, one he knew I couldn't ignore. But he said the rest so only I could hear it, I did it without any tricks, like you wanted. Do you know how difficult it is to talk a woman like this into charging less for anything?

Fairly certain the woman didn't speak it, I explained in Italian, or...well, I shouted, "Ci sono fottuti scarafaggi nei miei pantaloni!"

All smiles, tight and twitching not to become a scream--or laughter--Lucient turned to the woman, "Thank you, ever so much, madam...but I think we'll be staying elsewhere."

OC vs Cockroach Tag Game

I'm back (or trying to be, at least) and will try to catch up on my asks and tag games, my friends 💜

Thanks to @illarian-rambling for the tag (here)!

I'll go with some of the characters from the main cast of my WIP Of Starlight and Beasts (since I've already done this for a few of my other WIPs, such as Enchanted Illusions and Realms of Loss if I'm not mistaken)! This is going to be fun (:

Corah 9/10 - Doesn't really mind it, as long as it's like, scurrying far away. But will step on it no questions asked if it gets too close or starts being a bother, though all her courage towards it will vanish when the roach starts to fly.

Arammys 6/10 - Is very curious, albeit disgusted and from a distance, about the strange creature. Probably doesn't want to kill it, but is very uncomfy with the bug all the same. One of his friends either kills the roach for him or takes it far away.

Eidan 12/10 - Drop kicks it so fast even the roach's atoms cease from existence. Cosmically obliterates the roach with that kick. Does it so fast his friends are probably in shock at his reflexes. Proceeds to walk it off like nothing happened and tries to carry on any interrupted conversation too.

Rin ???/10 - Eats it as a lil snack. 😃 In front of everyone. Making unbreaking eye contact. Is probably unaware of why everyone is so disturbed by what he just did too.

Masen 1/10 - Will scream and try to jump into somebody's arms, climb some kind of furniture, or stand behind Kyran (or anyone who can stand in between him and the bug as a shield) until the insect is dealt with. If the roach flies towards him or worse, touches him, he'll probably cry and end up vomiting.

Tomasa 9/10 - Depends on her mood. If she's happy and generally okay with life, she'll gently just find a jar or something to pick up the roach and take it outside to nature. If not, shoes - or anything throwable she can get her hands on - will be flying towards the roach at the speed of light.

Kyran 10/10 - Doesn't mind and doesn't care. Is more annoyed at his twin's (Masen) breakdown about the roach than bothered by the bug itself. Will ignore it and let someone else go through the trouble of getting rid of the insect.

Leora 9/10 - Has a mini heart attack upon noticing a roach in the vicinities. Collects herself quickly though, and instantly burns/disintegrates it with her magic. If she's feeling especially petty, she might pick it up with a spell and place it in Masen's room just to watch the chaos unfold later on.

Florynce 8?/10 - Befriends it. Due to her powers, she might actually be able to communicate with it, and if she has the time, might engage in some kind of conversation with the insect. (It wouldn't last though, as her pet raven would be overjoyed at the free snack walking around on the floor, and so the bird would just swoop down and eat it.)

OC Cockroach Tag

I've been tagged by the spectacular @kaylinalexanderbooks! Thanks for the tag!

Rules: rank your OCs based on how well they would do with a cockroach.

I'll be doing this for characters from Crying Wolf.

But first, the no pressure tags! I'll be tagging @sarandipitywrites, @notwritinganyflufftoday, @tabswrites, @revenantlore, and open tag!

Now, onto those reactions!

Justine - Crushes it with her boot without a second thought. 8/10.

SMAS - Cockroach? What cockroach? There is nothing but a small scorchmark where a cockroach may have been. If it existed. Which if it did, it definitely doesn't now. 6/10.

Ogwut - Wonders why everyone else is freaking out. Declares the cockroach his friend. 10/10.

Jack - Catches cockroach and tries to release it into the local bar. 10/10.

Theo - Squeals a little and stabs it with his spear. 5/10.

Lux - Catches cockroach with a clay mug and releases it outside. 9/10.

Wotan - Pretends to be perfectly calm but is freaking out on the inside. Tries to crush it with his boot, but keeps missing. Eventually kills it. 7/10.

Daisy - Ignores it. Might be willing to eat it if paid enough coin or double dog dared to. 10/10.

How Well Would Your Oc Do Against a Cockroach Tag

Thanks for the tag @gummybugg! (I’m sorry this took a few days. I've been preparing for my classes.) Check out their post, they did a fear factor version and it’s awesome!

For this I’ll chose Blair and Edgar for now, their reaction goes hand in hand:

Edgar would be the first one to see it, he’s not particularly scared of bugs, but if it’s a flying cockroach that’s a different story. He’s not a fan of things flying at his face, and they always for some reason aim straight for the face. So if it did fly anywhere near him, he’d scream and depending on where Blair is in the house, she’d come running to see what’s wrong. Blair would be fine with picking it up and letting it outside, BUT, if she sees Edgar crying she’ll be pissed. Yes she knows it’s just a bug but she’s a little bit of an overprotective girlfriend, and she’ll squish it while Edgar is trying to hold her back while still crying from the bug attack.

I’ll keep this open tagged for anyone who wants to join.

Thank you for the tag, @tabswrites!

Rules: Rate your OCs on how well they’d fare against a cockroach

I've been working on Minding Q’s a lot lately, so I'll do this with these characters:

Celain: 5/10 She’s okay with bugs, but she doesn’t like them. If she saw a cockroach in the house, she would make Izzie get it and put it outside. She could probably drop a cup over it by herself, but then she would just sit and watch it to make sure it doesn’t escape before someone else can save her from it.

Sterling: -100000/10 PLEASE NO!!! We cannot do this to my boy. If he saw a cockroach outside, he would literally never set foot outside again. (I'm only half-joking.) If he saw one in the house, he would never feel safe at home again. (Completely serious about that.)

Katelyn: 8/10 She would have the easiest time ignoring it. If she saw a cockroach disappear under the couch, that’s a problem for later. She would definitely be able to catch it and release it outside, but she would rather not touch it if she doesn’t have to.

Max: 8/10 He would probably have the easiest time smashing/otherwise obliterating a cockroach, but he definitely wouldn’t enjoy doing it (especially the reveal of the remains/clean-up part).

Izzie: 10/10 They were a bug kid back in elementary school, and not much has changed since. Would gently pick up a cockroach with their bare hands and put it in the bushes outside.

Gently tagging @my-cursed-prince, @k-v-briarwood, @planets-and-prose, @the-grim-and-sanguine, @athenswrites, @lordcatwich, and leaving the tag open for anyone else that wants to do this!

OC vs. a cockroach

I was tagged by lovely @ashen-crest. Thank you!

Rules: Rate your OCs on how well they’d fare against a cockroach.

All mentioned OC's are from my current wip Foreigner God.

Yarren 1/10

He would go berserk, but for all his vigor he would be very unsuccessful in actually killing the cockroach. Imagine a lot of yelling, throwing things and smashing the floor with other things and the cockroach running away unbothered.

Thiery 5/10

He would look around waiting for someone to kill it for him. In the case of nobody being there to get rid of it, he would capture it in a cup and bring it outside. He had done enough killing in his life already.

Ikath 8/10

Depends on whether she's with her servants or alone. If she had witnesses there would be a lot of screaming maybe even a bit of fainting. If alone, she would just kill it with one precise hit of her shoe, then feed it to her pet birds to get rid of the evidence.

Una 10/10

She would talk to it very calmly while scooping it in her bare hands and carrying it outside. As a healer, she believes all life is precious

Orien 0/10

He would open a book about insects and start reading about cockroaches while the one he's supposed to deal with runs away

Zirys 0/10

He tries to shoot it with a bow or something equally stupid

Lothir -1000/10

Raises a nation of demonic cockroaches to end ALL cockroaches and then gets eaten by them

Rose: 6/10 - stands there doing nothing while internally freaking out

Kelsey: 7/10 - absolutely terrified but goes up to it and succeeds in trapping it under a glass; doesn't know what to do next

Carla: 6.5/10 - has no idea what a cockroach is or how to deal with one, but is interested in it

George: 9/10 - goes up to the cockroach to study it and allows it to get on his finger

Hye-Jin: 7.5/10 - grabs a shoe a kills the thing, surprising everyone

OC vs. Cockroach

Alright I had to jump on this one stat LOL thanks for the tag @mysticstarlightduck see their post here!

Rules: Rate your OCs on how well they’d fare against a cockroach

I'm going to do the casts of AASOAF and M.O.W for this one!

AASOAF

Mariel: 7/10 Mariel grew up on a farm so she's pretty used to seeing creepy crawlies around. That said she can't keep her cool around them like she can with rodents and other types of pests so she is definitely the sort to be startled by one, and call for help if there is someone nearby. Otherwise, our little lady is bucking up and dealing with it on her own.

Axtapor: 10/10 A big part of Lizardfolk diet is eating bugs including roaches. While they aren't his favorite, he's known to indulge from time to time because the wings have a nice crunch to them *chefs kiss*. So he just manhandles them whenever they're around and down the hatch they go!

Fay: 0/10 Fay grew up impoverished in the slums of a place called Saltend and on more than one occasion discovered roaches in her bed, clothes, food, hair, blankets you name it. Safe to say she was traumatized after being surrounded by them for so many years. She is definitely calling in for backup if she sees one.

Wilkes: 10/10 Even though he's a Lizardfolk, he doesn't eat roaches. Rather, he despises them because Fay hates them so he's become quite the exterminator on her behalf. He can hit one from across the room with a throwing knife and has done so on many occasions. I should add, that he also doesn't let his adoptive parents eat them either. The Sikthax-Seymour household is a roach-free zone 😤

M.O.W

Hartim and Lexlar: 20/10 So these two are from The Oasis Heartlands which is mostly jungle ergo, LOTS of bugs to eat. They hunt bugs for fun and roaches are no different but they are a little bit more sadistic with roaches than other creepy crawlies. Lexlar will catch a bunch, enough to fill a jar, and then set them loose in an enclosed area, like a room for example, and let Hartim just go nuts trying to catch and eat them lol. Then the same thing vice-versa, Hartim will catch a bunch and release them for Lexlar. They claim it's a speed trial but they're really just playing with their food lol.
