25-50

Soooo… I take forever to do these things, sooooorrryyyy!

26. What would your character say their best trait would be?

Idk, probs that she’ s nice or something? I literally have never thought about how my characters feel about themselves??? 

Great start!

27. What is your character’s greatest fear? Deep, irrational?

That she ends up accidentally, or even intentionally, like her father in her attempt to over throw his rule. I’d say she’s terrified to become a hypocrite, all these years facing against her family and the way the rule/conduct themselves to end up doing or being exactly like them would be nightmare inducing for her.

28. What is currently motivating your character to stay with the party?

She killed the other party… In all fairness, it was an accident.

But for real, before meeting her current Crew™ her biggest fear was leading her Old Party and being shunned by the very peoples with who she was coming to aid/save. Of course, she stays with them because at the end of the day she loves them and enjoys their company but there are obviously a lot of other reasons to stay: she doesn’t know the land (her Old Party were going to teach her when they reached ‘safety’), she doesn’t have any ties on the new planet apart from a single group of rebels from her home world who aren’t the easiest on the eyes, she hardly speaks the language or understands the customs/culture of this new planet, and probably even more that I haven’t thought about. Bottom line is that she needs them.

On a happy note, they need her too.

29. What are your character’s hobbies and interests outside of their class?

I’m translating these q’s for a book and I don’t know enough about dnd (or my fucking characters for that matter) to answer.

30. What would most people think when they first see your character?

Tall. Like, freakishly tall.

31. What stereotypical group role does your character play in the party? (The Mom, the Mess, the Comic Relief, etc. Optionally: What role would your character play in the “Five Man Band” structure?)

Well, she’s technically the leader I guess. It’s kind of her quest they’re all on but at the same time the others tend to take her place leading the sub groups while she figures out a plan. I guess she might be The Man in The Chair or Behind the Curtain.

32. What is your character the most insecure about?

Maybe her intelligence, like not being the smartest person in the room. She’s known (even on the new planet) for being super strong and a great fighter, but she detests that viewpoint because it makes it difficult for people (and herself) to differentiate between the ‘bad guys’ in her family and the ones who’ve been fighting the Good Fight, like her.

33. What person does your character admire most?

I think I’ve answered this before and it had something to do with liking people who could be strong and caring at the same  time. Or something sappy like that.

34. What does your character admire and dislike the most about the player character sitting to your left?

Translating for a book her so I’ll answer about how my character feels about the other four members of the main cast:

J: PRO: very understanding, never have to explain or defend herself to him - he always gets it. CON: not who she thought he would be.ME: PRO: loyal, despite having their little spats, at the end of the day ME would die for her. CON: not very understanding.HH: PRO: funny, can relax the whole mood at a moments notice. CON: reckless, is usually the only reason they get into trouble.M: PRO: is the closest to her in age and as a result is like her best friend, there’s almost nothing she hates about M. CON: I literally can’t think of one Z could have against M.

35. Why is your character’s lowest stat their lowest (the in-character reason, not “because there’s no reason for a wizard to have 16 strength, duh”)?

Not applicable.

36. What would be your character’s theme song/favorite band/favorite genre of music?

Something folky? 

37.  What stereotypical role would your character play in a high school AU/if they attended a normal high school? (Nerd, jock, bully, goth, etc.)

A toss up between the Loner or the Class President.

38. What treasure/item/artifact that your character has collected during the adventure is the most important to them?

She doesn’t/can’t really collect stuff, survival mode, y’know.

39.  Is there any particular weapon, item, etc. that your character longs to find?

No? Her fight isn’t after something material.

40.  Where does your character feel the most at home?

I think I’ve tried answering this before and couldn’t answer, probably at her Uncle’s place though, because it has the best memories for her.

41. Does your character care about how they’re perceived by others? How do they change themselves to fit in with other people?

I think yes, as she’s keeping her identity a secret. As a result I’d say she tends to distance herself out of fear of slipping up that she’s related to the enemy. Her entire plan rest on being supported by a lot of people and the idea that where she comes from could hurt her chances of success would be stressful.

42. What does your character think is the true meaning of life?

Broooo, this too deep for 10:41am.

43. What is your character’s scent? (Bonus points for a description that sounds like it could be from a bad [or awesome] fanfic.)

lol, B.O. probably, she’s a preteen running around in the woods.

44. Does your character think more with their heart or their brain?

Heart.

45. What is your character’s most recent or frequent nightmare?

I don’t wanna be cliché and say the murder of her older brother and mother, or her fear of failing overall but… I’m gonna be cliche and say those are the two things she probably has nightmares over. 

46. What opinion does your character have on [CERTAIN ESTABLISHED GROUPS/AUTHORITIES IN THE GAME WORLD]? (Dragonmarked Houses, royal crown, etc.)

There are a lot of little, influential groups that she comes across and some of them live up to her expectations and others don’t. Overall, she has the opinion that any group in a position of power needs to do more harm than good, and act as both protector and provider to their people. That’s regardless of whether they’re just a random clan that walk around together, or the ‘police-type unit’ in this world, or the political rulers, she doesn’t care how small your reach is, if you rule - you better do it well.

47. How did your character spend their childhood? Where did they grow up/who were their childhood friends?

Pretty sure I’ve answered this before? Um, just recap I guess - she was born second heir to the throne on her world, spent her childhood hanging out with her Guard, learning and training under royal tutors and trainers. Fucked up along the way and got her ass banished, was sad, lived with her uncle who subsequently became her teacher for everything, and spent quality time with her brother as a result, she was then welcomed back out of banishment for a short period of time before she ‘defected’. And, technically, she’s still a child, so the contents of the book are her ‘growing up’ so to speak.

48. What aspect of your character’s future are they most curious about? (If they could know one thing about the future, what would it be?)

Whether they’ll die before they achieve their goals. Morbid I know, but this is war.

49. What colors are associated with your character?

Blue, Black, Purple and White.

50. Who in the party would your character prioritize rescuing, in dire circumstances?

Probably M or HH, both J and ME prove themselves to be able to get out of any situation on their own but sometimes HH can get overwhelmed or distracted and then can’t save himself and M has yet to prove herself as capable enough to handle anything that comes her way.

Hello! I'm Julie from Cariona and I just want to ask if you're interested in doing ads/promotions here on Tumblr? If yes, how much do you charge per reblog?

For proof of legitimate promotions, you can check @catchymemes, @sulfatto, @isnt, and many others.

Website for reference: http://cariona.com Over 200 five star Facebook reviews: https://www.facebook.com/carionaproducts/reviews

Please feel free to respond here or reach out to us on marketing@cariona.com for more details! Thank you once again and have a great week!

absolutely fascinating that you decided to send this as an ask, when you also DM'd me. unfortunately, you may realize that this was a mistake - you see, asks can be responded to publicly.

so, allow me to respond:

hi, Julie! I'd never heard about Cariona before, so I decided to go poking around, and I learned something!

well, I learned a few things, actually. from your site, Cariona seems to be a small business that sells reusable menstrual products. and while I will never advertise a product that I haven't used, there's nothing wrong with wanting people to promote your company.

I have, however, found a few problems.

the first thing I found was this post by @crafiet from May 12th of last year, saying that shortly after making a purchase on your website, her debit card info was leaked, and used to make facebook ad purchases.

it seems that at least back then, your payment system was insecure. I'm really hoping you've fixed that, because. yikes.

and when I messaged crafiet to ask if it was okay if I linked to her post, she also mentioned that even though your website says you ship from Georgia, her package came shipped from China, and took a long time to arrive.

that's pretty sketchy.

the next thing I found was some folks talking about receiving cards with their orders that have a QR code on them with the words "Scan For God's Message To You", and that on the other side, have this bible verse:

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. Psalm 63:1

fun fact! that's from the King James Version (which I have a lot of thoughts about, but I'm not going to get into that right now).

additional fun fact! that particular psalm is from that time David fled to the wilderness because Jonathan's dad was trying to kill him.

and that's why I have to talk about the verses that follow it:

(ID in alt text; link to the NIV version if you want it)

so...are we like 100% sure it's god that David is thinking about here? because...I mean...that's pretty horny, right? and all of this while on the run from his boyfriend's dad?

I'm not saying anything, but like...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it's a weird verse to choose for this, that's all.

anyway, back to you, Cariona: after seeing people talking about the bible verse cards, I decided to poke around your website more, and allll the way at the bottom of it, finally found your "About Us" page, which ends with this:

...look. there's nothing inherently wrong with being christian. but to say "we do not wish to impose any beliefs on our customers", and to then put bible verse cards in people's orders? that's sneaky, and I don't like it.

I also think it's a bit sneaky that you've flagged your tumblr account as pro-trans on shinigami eyes. at least, I assume you flagged it yourselves, because I didn't find a single post on your blog that mentions trans issues.

(though you have, entertainingly, reblogged some stranger things fanart, and a castiel cat cosplay)

and while your website uses very gender-neutral language, your "About Us" page doesn't say anything about being inclusive of trans people, just that you don't "discriminate against anyone who has a different belief than ours."

unfortunately, that's not good enough for me. I have this sneaking suspicion that "trans people are the gender they say they are" counts as a "different belief".

lastly, since you say on your website that people can message you asking about your faith, I had a friend do that!

baptists. you're baptists, which is a pretty conservative denomination.

and according to you, part of that 10% you donate goes to your local churches, and some missionaries. who are also probably baptists.

so.

in the end, I just...don't trust you? I don't trust that the 10% you're donating is going to organizations that aren't homophobic or transphobic. I don't believe that you're not trying to impose your beliefs on others, because that's what you're obviously doing. I mean, your "About Me" says that one of the reasons you built this company is to spread the gospel.

and I especially don't like it that you reached out to me (an openly queer person) for promotion without mentioning that you're an evangelical company.

so to answer your question, Julie: no. I am not interested in doing ads or promotions for you on tumblr. and honestly, you probably picked the wrong website for this kind of thing.

Hello!! Once you get this you must share five random facts about yourself then pass this on to your 10 favorite followers. Keep it going!

Five facts, huh? *exhales* 1. My hair has been dyed every color of the rainbow. 2. I tend to make cat noises when I’m spooked by something. 3. I love acting but I can’t stand being around large groups of people. 4. I’m really prone to ear infections if I get a sinus infection. 5. I love looking at the stars, it makes me feel a lot more significant that I normally feel.

(Thanks for the ask.

26-50 BITCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yup... Thanks best friend xD

26: Which do you enjoy reading the most: physical, ebook, or both?

Physical, easier on my eyes.

27: Which is your favorite genre to write?

Fantasy, ain’t nobody got time for the real world.

28: Which do you find hardest: the beginning, the middle, or the end?

The beginning, BECAUSE I’VE NEVER GOTTEN PAST A SINGLE ONE.

29: Which do you find easiest: writing or editing?

Writing? Editing takes brain cells I appear not to have.

30: Have you ever written fan-fiction?

Lol, yeah. When I was like 7 years old. I wrote a harem mash up of Harry Potter and 3 Ninjas because writing myself into a world of magic and fighting was foreshadowing.

31: Have you ever been published?

Nah, ghee :(

32: How do you feel about friends and close relatives reading your work?

I don’t like it, at all. It’s fucking embarrassing man, the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma, one the whanau don’t need to know about.

33: Are you interested in having your work published?

Yeah, man. The Dream™.

34: Describe your writing space.

My IDEAL writing space would be like an actually fucking desk with a laptop or pc so I stop breaking my back sitting on my bed finna cradle a notebook and keep the ink from my pen from dying.

 35: What’s your favorite time of day for writing?

I tend to get the best stuff around 5-7pm. Yes, I’m that exact, I like my evenings spent writing.

36: Do you listen to music when you write?

Yup, it helps me create mood. And stops me from getting distracted.

37: What’s your oldest WIP?

That fan fic, harem, mashup of HP and 3 Ninjas.

38: What’s your current WIP?

My ‘kids not kids saving the world not world’ one.

39: What’s the weirdest story idea you’ve ever had?

Girl, don’t even get me started. I had one surrounding a small coven of vampires in their teens attending an all vampire ‘school’ (basically a place for young vamps to hide out during the day and keep up a normal image at the same time) when a human ends up attending. The story itself was pretty generic but the girl was called Near Chaos and the boy Peace Reaper because, why the fuck not?

40: Which is your favorite original character, and why?

Either M or HH. M because she’s so much more than what she appears - my biggest challenge in terms of writing more between the lines than actual lines. And HH because he’s my oldest OC, constantly reworked and re-imagined to fit him into the right story.

41: What do you do when characters don’t follow the outline?

There is no outline, so...

42: Do you enjoy making your characters suffer?

To an extent. I don’t so much like imagining them in pain but I love building them from the ground up after their character has been thrashed to kingdom come.

43: Have you ever killed a main character?

Lol, yes. EVERYBODY DIES.

44: What’s the weirdest character concept you’ve ever come up with?

The Sages and Mother. They’re actual entities but not. Like, my characters believe Mother is their god in the same way humans believe in god. But she’s an actual living being, walking through the world. And The Sages are like boy gods, but not fully fledged gods. They’re fucking hard to write lore and law on. 

45: What’s your favorite character name?

CDT’s full name. Acronym here because ain’t nobody stealing her name :P

46: Describe your perfect writing space.

A desk stationed in front of a window with warm, evening sunlight pouring in. A chair that doesn’t encourage my slouch but helps me sit straight with enough leg space for me to sit cross legged because I’m a fucking child. Music played without headphones. Alone. Maybe some hot chocolate.

47: If you could steal one character from another author and make then yours, who would it be and why?

I don’t tend to want other authors characters because mine are so fucking insane to begin with.

48: If you could write the next book of any series, which one would it be, and what would you make the book about?

It’s not a series but I would want to write a sequel to Neal Stephenson’s ‘Seven Eves’ because it ended on such a cliff hanger. I would explore the new world and characters more and probably start a war. I can’t help it.

49: If you could write a collaboration with another author, who would it be and what would you write about?

Lol, you my bruh. You’re not a published author but who gives a fuck. Don’t know what we’d write about, something cool though.

50: If you could live in any fictional world, which would it be? 

Not to toot my own horn but the fantasy world I’ve been working on since I was like 14. Just because I’ve thought so much about it; created characters and thought up stories that will never be expressed in the actual books. And because it’s literally my dream world.
