[vexilexicon]

making a BIG post with all of @bella-daonna 's emoji asks just so they're all in one convenient place (btw thank you so much boo for them)

all of these are for my oc player character, Bronagh, from the AMAZING otome game Na Daoine Maithe. down under the cut so I don't clog the dash 👀

(picrews here and here)

💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

anger, definitely. She doesn't know how to deal with situations that make her properly, extremely angry, like those ones where it's bubbling rage at a situation you didn't see coming. It's because she's so used to being able to step back from things, is naturally low-empathy, that when things hit she can't regulate -- it's rare that her anger will surface, but when it does, it's explosive and shocking to those around her. She's the type to yell, much louder and much deeper than you expect.

🌙 MOON - what is your oc's greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?

Her greatest wish is very simple -- she wants to live simply, and contentedly, without needed to stress about where a next meal is coming from. She wants to have people in her life who aren't draining, who help her recharge when they're around, and the ability to engage in her hobbies and crafts and just be.

🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?

ooo callback to the first question this early, huh? asdfgghfjd. Sorry to have to reiterate some of that one, but yeah her temper is very slow to boil. It's frustrating for others, not that they would try to rile her up or anything, but them getting into arguments with her they would get frustrated with her lack of reaction. In the same vein, she is very much 'it is what it is' about situations, which frustrates people when they want her to demand better for herself.

🙊 SPEAK-NO-EVIL - what is something your oc will refuse to stay quiet about?

Interesting thing about Bronagh is that, well, she's kind of a snake. which sounds so bad but... it isn't out of malice? By 'kind of a snake' I mean that she will blend into the background and observe, rather than speak out. She won't agree with things that she doesn't believe in, but she will go with the flow -- she isn't in the habit of making life more difficult for herself by drawing attention to herself. She is very much a wait and watch and listen type of person.

🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Bronagh is very personal because she's the first oc who is explicitly autistic, where I'm purposefully exploring like, my own experience, and how going so long without having words or explanation for it made me feel so outside of the normal human experience. Tie that in with the lore of NDM, the fae world, those ideas of changeling children (mostly that thread I see a lot on here about like, god what's the phrasing? kid's odd but damn is he good with the sheep? that kind of thing). It's also a stressful thing, because I never want to imply that my experience being autistic is the only one, or that these stereotypes aren't ever harmful... damn this got too deep sorry 💀But really Bronagh is a wish fullfilment of.... being different in a way that's so obvious to everyone around you but not yourself for so long, and then falling into a world where your oddness isn't ostracizing anymore, man I don't even know where I'm going with this anymore sorry NDM I have lost the plot

✂️ SCISSORS - what is the "last straw" for them to cut someone out of their life? how easily do they let go of people?

Disrespect. Not rudeness, or hurtful comments off the cuff, but blatant disrespect with no remorse. She will forgive cruel comments if someone is honest with their apology, she will forgive most things actually, but she will never forget. And when it is clear that the pattern emerging is disregard for her as a person? Bam, you're done. Though it's hard to describe because it relies so much on the individual relationship.

🎁 PRESENT - what types of presents would they be most happy to receive? are they good at gift giving?

Bronagh likes things that you like, if you give her anything at all, with the inspiration that 'this made me think of you' or 'this thing is so cool i thought you might think so too', she'll appreciate it, but gifts she love would be entirely practical ones. She loves functional things. In the same way, she's much too logical with her own gift-giving -- you are getting socks, you are getting a replacement stapler, you are getting a tea cozy because yours is stained.

💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon

I'm not sure about the famine timeline, like for accuracies sake, but I know it started in 1845 when NDM is set. So I don't know if things would be dire enough for this action yet. But I'm seeing Bronagh having to kill the family's second horse so they can eat. Imagine it was an old nag and one that had been with the family for so long, and her father is away for longer than anticipated and her mother can't do it because it was her horse as a teen.

☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon

she's very adept at sewing, knitting, mending, and lacemaking - she loves working with her hands. two soft ideas revolve around this. One, Shae notices love of this kind of work and teaches her woodworking. Two, her doing very delicate and artful braids in other peoples' hair as a gentle and quiet bonding experience.

🍼 BABY BOTTLE - what are their thoughts on children?

Indifferent. she always figured at some point she would have them, because at some point she would get married, because that's what you do. But when her family didn't push even as she got older, she stopped looking to that kind of future. the only thing about kids is the assumption that pregnancy is necessary, and she knows to much about the process of childbirth to want to go through with that if it's not required. She likes kids well enough, and is surprisingly good with them even though she doesn't think so. Kids like that she treats them just like she treats other people, though she can be too blunt.

🔥 FIRE - do they have any self destructive tendencies? what habits do they have that hinder them from becoming their best self?

Bronagh doesn't like to be told that she doesn't know what's best for herself, even if she's honestly putting herself in a dangerous scenario. If you try to tell her what to do and don't let her negotiate, she will dig her heels in. even in the event that she logically knows you're right, she will continue with whatever she is doing to spite you, no matter if it's at her own expense.

🌠 SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?

she would wish to be able to learn whatever she wanted to learn. not book or school studying, but the time and opportunity to explore whatever niche things catch her interest and to never run out of that time or opportunity. to have someone to share in her curiosity would be a bonus.

☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?

People assume she's not very smart, because she doesn't go out of her way to speak to people and isn't so much careful with her words as she doesn't fill space if she doesn't have anything she wants to say. they're wrong. people also assume she's fair because she acts so objective, and they're wrong about that too.

💓 BEATING HEART - what gets their heart racing?

close proximity, slow smiles, she's very attracted to voices. someone giving her their full attention can either get her heart racing in a good way or a bad way, depending on her opinion of them - either it's riveting, or it feels like an attack. a lover touching her neck, definitely.

💘 HEART W/ ARROW - what traits do they look for in a relationship? do they believe in love at first sight?

Bronagh wants someone who is steady, someone who can enjoy shared silence. She wants someone who is smart, either cleverness or wittiness or a quieter type of practical smarts, and likes her dry sense of humour. Somebody who isn't over the top. More than anything, she wants someone who is trustworthy to her even if they aren't to anybody else - not that she wants to be the centre of their world, but she wants honesty before anything else, even if that honesty hurts.

💗 GROWING HEART - if they have a crush, is it noticable? what changes when they're in love?

Her crush would be a little noticeable from the outside, but less so to the person she's crushing on because she wouldn't change anything drastic about her behaviour towards them. She would look at them more, not exactly longingly but almost 'i want to study you like a bug' energy. she would spend more time with them, but in the almost sly way of being available whenever they happen to be around, she always makes it seem natural to be in their presence because hey, it's a coincidence.

❤️ RED HEART - their love language(s)?

Bronagh's love language is acts of service. She wants to help, to be of use, but more than that she wants to share in the struggles of those she loves and help lighten the load of them. She also likes being able to give people things that help them -- sort of gift giving, sort of not. As for the love language that is given to her (idk how to phrase this), she appreciates most being listened to and trusted, and the offer of lightening her burdens as well.

💙 BLUE HEART - do they miss their s/o easily? how do they act when their s/o isn't around?

She's not the type to feel like, gaping loneliness or the missing of somebody if she knows she's going to see them again, if they can exchange letters, etc. But if there's no way of contact, she would be very wistful about it, she would see things they would like and think of them, she would imagine what they would say. Like, she's a very independent person and likes her alone time, so she wouldn't miss them easily. To her, physical proximity doesn't affect love - she loves you and knows you love her whether you're sitting next to her or you're the next country over. She is secure in that, and can be happy with separation and doing her own thing.

4, 5, 11 a d 20. Be salty af 🤣

i walked right into that one didn’t i? 😅 okay salt ahead

4.) who is your least favorite doctor? why?

i think no one will be surprised with this one, probably thirteen, for a multitude of reasons mostly due to the awful writing. i don’t connect with them at all and unfortunately they have not grown on me over time. one of my big grievances with them is the complete lack of relationship between them and the companions (which is a big influence on how i rate doctors - i think five suffers from this as well) i could forgive bad writing/ stories a lot more if the i was invested in the characters and unfortunately this era scores zero on both accounts. also the inconsistent morality is hard to watch as well.

5.) any complaints about the show?

a big question without going into specifics. like every fan, i have many, blanket complaint this era, goes without saying 😅. i can critique/ complain about any era so i’ll (try) be fair and give some for each.

classic who (i know there are different eras within classic but for simplicity im grouping it) - (bigotry of the time aside) pacing of stories mainly, (obviously this is a product of its time so i don’t hold it too harshly and accept it for what it is) also companion exits are very underwhelming and marrying them off for reason to leave is 👎

rtd - more personal taste, but russell’s tendency to up the ante in every series finale is not my cup of tea. once you get to ‘all of reality is at stake’, i’ve lost my investment in the story. also his obsession with a certain companion. i like rose don’t get me wrong, but russell couldn’t seem to let her go throughout his whole era.

moffat - (many lol) mainly his treatment of his female characters is awful, complicated plots/ arcs, doesn’t understand the concept of death, the amount of body comments through this era, also a niche one but the overly large time skips in the doctor for little reason, seriously 4 and half billion years is taking the piss

chibnall - (it’d be quicker to say things i liked about this era lol) lack of any depth of character, lack of sense of morality, bad dialogue etc etc.

11.) least favorite companion?

the cop lol 💀 or basically any of the fam although this is more from a writing standpoint (im sorry im very harsh on this era 😅). i think ch*bnall’s take on the companion role is an insult to the show. the companion has never been background furniture just to give the occasional line. no the companion does not always have to save the day but they have always been characters in of themselves which contributes to the stories and plot. the doctor/ companion relationship is also essential to the show which is basically non existent in this era too. yaz unfortunately makes it to the bottom because she has been here the longest without adequate contribution. a three season companion should have way much more going for them.

20.) if you could change anything about the show, what would it be?

im gonna take this as changes to the show in general, to which i would say (obviously budget and production restrictions aside) definitely need to go off earth more, and definitely need an alien companion. wish list things, i would say having longer seasons (stop reducing the episode count bbc!), exploring the tardis more (seeing the companions’ bedrooms), also i’d give the master a long term companion.
