pinned post ask game for allets and eliote: 🔮 ⚠ ♿ 💢 😒 ⛪ 📺

🔮 - Your character is having their future told by someone pretty shady. Do they call the fortune teller out or just roll with it?

Eliote absolutely 100% calls them out.

Allets tries to hear them out while also taking what they say with a grain of salt.

⚠ - What has your character almost done that made someone talk them out of or convince them not to do it?

Allets definitely eventually gets up to wanting to do / trying to do SOOOOOOOO many hairbrained schemes and ideas that reasonably a person ought to be talked out of or convinced not to do. Y'know, demon-summoning, raccoon-domesticating, breaking-and-entering, etc. Eliote and/or Finley definitely try for a bit to talk her out of it, but end up going along with it a lot of the time.

Eliote, it'd have to be something like pulling five consecutive all-nighters to work on something, or fortifying the house to a truly insane degree with like SO many locks and traps and electric fence type stuff.

♿ - Is your character in some way handicapped? (This includes physical, emotional, and mental.)

Eliote definitely has PTSD, quite possibly also anxiety and/or depression. Also insomnia.

Allets, there's probably gotta be some kinda CPTSD in there. Anxiety is also extremely possible. I'm also considering whether autism and/or ADHD makes sense for her, not sure.

💢 - What frustrates your character more than anything?

Allets: Failure to do things comes to mind. A lot of the time the feeling that comes with failure for her is shame, and sometimes fear, but there are probably some times where there's frustration. Apart from that, all that comes to mind is just. Mean, snippy people.

Eliote: She gets frustrated by SOOOOOOO many things. A very big one is definitely forced positivity though. She HATES that with her entire being, and the more of it one throws at her the more bitter and grumpy and angry she gets in response.

😒 - “Ugh! Not him/her/them/it again.” How does your character react to annoying people?

Eliote glowers and snarks and snipes and generally makes it very bluntly clear how annoying she finds them.

Allets tries her very very hardest to be polite but it is Painful. Once she makes friends with Eliote and Jewel and Luna she does at some point get to a point where she's able to complain about people to them though. Only to them. Still gotta keep her thoughts to herself for everycreature else.

⛪ - Is your character religious or spiritual in anyway?

Eliote's parents might've believed in and practiced some religion in a low-key but very wholehearted way. She might've hung onto a little of that.

Allets...I'm having a hard time deciding whether her parents are like, devout christians who drill some of the most toxic ideas peoples get out of christianity into her, or whether they generally consider religion to be stuff and nonsense. Whatever religious or spiritual beliefs they have get drilled into Allets, but she never really resonates all the way down with them. She'd probably be agnostic really, and probably find it interesting to learn about different religions. And tbh I think she'd kinda vibe with satanism really sdlkjflkXD

📺 - What would your character’s favorite TV show be? What’s their favorite genre?

I think she'd really really like Over The Garden Wall. And also The Owl House. There is SO much that would resonate hard with her about The Owl House. Also, while this is technically a Netflix show and not a TV show, I think she would LOVE Centaurworld. Also, while we're on Netflix shows, She-ra would DECIMATE her.

As to favorite genre of media, I think honestly horror would be up there. She'd have a very deep fascination with horror. With all things spooky, occult, grotesque, and/or nightmarish. I've thought about the OC squad listening to TMA before, and I see her as being the one who'd most get into relistening to episodes for the statements and not just the plot or characters.

Eliote...it's honestly hard to say if ANY of the shows I watch (or know anything about) would be her favorite show. She-ra (though, again, not a TV show) might be a possibility? Precure? Infinity Train? Not sure. Allets would probably get her to watch Centaurworld and she'd probably wind up enjoying it a lot more than she anticipated. I think that might be up there.

As to genres I honestly have no idea sdlkghsdg;kjs;k

Alliote are neutral functional, lawful distinguished, maybe kinda lawful functional. With perhaps a bit of lawful disaster.

C.C. and Jasper are chaotic functional and lawful disaster.

he's fighting a beautiful buff lady. her shirt gets ripped and she's left in her slutty little tank top. "come on," you think. "why is the woman always wearing sexier things than her male counterparts." but fear not. now HE takes off his shirt and he's left in HIS slutty little tank top. equality. and then they kiss

[scattered-winter]

the dichotomy between an attack dog vs a guard dog is like. an attack dog is sent out to carry out violence. it's starved and abused to ensure aggression. it has no other purpose outside of Attacking at the whim of its master. it's constantly on guard because a threat can come from any direction at any time. it's the dog chained up in a basement that's only set loose when there's something to kill.

but a guard dog is protecting instead of attacking. instead of being sent out to fight, it comes home to defend the house. it may be constantly on watch for an external threat, but it is content to lay with the sheep until a wolf comes to the door. the guard dog has a warm place to sleep, and is well fed and treated like a member of the household. it's free to leave at any time but it stays to protect the house anyway. do u get it. do u understand.

inexplicably one of my favorite dynamics in the show. normal people conversations

Jewel gets lost. Allets or Eliote asks an employee to call for her over the speakers.

pride month asks for allets, maddie, eliote: 1, 2, 3, 8

1) What's your oc's gender identity? What's their relationship to their gender?

Allets is a cis girl. She is, however, more gnc than she has ever remotely been allowed to be. Not the BIGGEST tomboy, mind you, she still prefers or enjoys a number of traditionally feminine things. But her parents have always kept her in this very strict mold of Only The Most Feminine And Ladylike Things And Nothing Else Is Allowed Ever, and she has never fit comfortably in that in the slightest. She's a girl, she's just a girl who needs to not be told how girls should be, and be left to play in the mud in dresses without frills.

Maddie T is also a cis girl pretty sure, but she's very gnc and generally doesn't care that much about it. To her, gender is ultimately something to play around with. Pronouns and presentation are a huge dressup closet filled with all manner of clothes and costumes. She has her base, but if ever she's given the opportunity, she'll sure as heck try on whatever the heck else for a minute on top of it. Sure, throw the word "boy" at her, you've stuck a funny little hat on her head, she can do a silly little dance in this for a bit! They/them pronouns? Ooooh, ambiguity, she can detach from all concept of gender for a bit and just be a creature of color and madness and bounce and boing that doesn't need a gender! What fun!

Eliote is a cis girl who also doesn't care very much about gender. But not in the way of Maddie T where it's fun to play with, just in the way where she's like "Why does it matter? Who the frick cares? Aren't there just near-infinite more important things in the world?" She'll correct you if you use the wrong pronouns for her or anything, but beyond that she just doesn't really give it much thought.

2) What's your oc's orientation? (Romantic/sexual/platonic alterous ect) Do they have opinions about it?

Allets is bi. Possibly also acespec in some way. Her parents have very much drilled into her that Gay = Wrong, so there's a lot of repression and denial and shame about it for her for quite some time. She eventually does get to start shedding that and getting to be more comfortable or even proud eventually of her being bi. As to being acespec, I think if she’s acespec then for the longest time she just doesn't even realize. And while it does make for possible complications with the "gonna need to Do The Thing to produce an heir to the throne one day" thing, in general she doesn't consider it to be as consequential as her bisexuality and it doesn't weigh as much on her mind.

Maddie T is aroace and proud! Glad to not have to deal with any romance or sex related woes in her life, glad for the perspective it gives her on others', and just generally happy to be as she is.

Eliote is either bi or gay. Possibly also acespec, maybe also arospec. She doesn't have an opinion on the gender(s) she's attracted to. She does, however, get freaked the heck out by experiencing attraction at all.

3) How did your oc discover themself? Did something cause them to question, or did they always know?

Allets definitely didn't always know. A major factor in her questioning has gotta be this one experience she had with another princess in her preteen years, but she does push that deep deep down for awhile. I've just thought that the more she breaks away from her parents' conditioning in general, she eventually does get to a point where she starts seriously thinking about it and eventually realizing/admitting it to herself. Dunno if it happens in conversation with Eliote and possibly Luna and Jewel or if it happens when she's just thinking to herself. Dunno if anything in particular happens to exacerbate and push her towards it or not. Though maybe the entire environment of SGE helps with that somewhat, the School for Good is like, SO cisheternormative, it's quite possible the discomforts with that kinda push her towards realizing. In any case, she definitely initially feels shame upon realizing, but gets past that in time.

Maddie T always knew. She looked at romance and sex and was like "hmmm no not for me no thanks <3" and that was it.

Eliote just kinda never gives it a single thought until she experiences some attraction.

8) Have they had struggles with their identity, be it due to internal or external reasons?

Allets with her homophobic parents, definitely. As I've said, gonna have to take awhile for her to realize and accept herself.

Maddie T? LOL, NOPE. She knows who she is, she loves who she is, she doesn't give a flying fart what anycreature else thinks or says or does.

Eliote, yeah. Entirely internal reasons for her. I think as a younger kid she was very grossed out by romance and any shift from that is a mindfrick and a half for her. And she's always considered romantic relationships just Not An Option For Her, not gonna happen, would never work, why even want one, but it's hard to tell how much of that is actually not wanting them and how much of that is just more of the "don't get close to people don't let people in you're fine you're fine you're FINE" mindset. So yeah, if she ever seriously Catches Feelings TM, she's gonna go insane about all of that for some time.

[yardsards]

you start watching dungeon meshi and you see how marcille acts and it's like "great... another show where the girl character is fussy and dramatic and easily grossed out compared to her male counterparts :///" and then you continue watching and meet other female characters who are not at all like that and it's like "ah, she's not like that because she's a girl, she's like that because she's italian"
