hc;; kamael and brennan are on the two sides. kamael is absolutely not picky, at all. he can make something good enough to eat out of some bread, some eggs, and a little salami. leave him in the wild? he won't die. back when his and his brothers' dad was still alive, he and their mom would take them to camp out in the wild, and the trio learned how to survive.

and brennan? the only good food he knows and trusts is kamael's - and if it isn't his food, or their mom's, bren would die of starvation. just because he's a picky stubborn bastard.

Want me to gush about my OCs?

Send in just a “🖊“ and I will talk about any one of my OCs at random!

ASIDE from drawing amazing comics - though they’re not as popular as he would have liked (or at least not yet; they gain fame later on in the story), Benjamin is also a gifted artist. In fact, if there’s anything all the eight brothers share, it’s a skill in painting, as well as in writing different kinds of poetry.

Bonus info because I felt it’s related:

Though writing is the thing that Stefan is best at, all of them developed a taste for it in high school and have remained interested ever since. Also, they are all good at a different genre. Kamael is good at detective stories, Stefan writes interesting drama ones, Luceus likes to write myths and historical fiction, Aster - romantic shorts, Benjamin does fantasy, Brennan’s forte is adventure, and Lyle is your guy if you’re into horror.

Have a name survey because these are always fun.

Boys

A Andrew vs. Aaron Alan vs. Alexander Aiden vs. Adam B Brennan vs. Brayden: Both of these are awful but I guess I gotta pick. Brandon vs. Braxton Bentley vs. Brimley C Cayden vs. Camden: Again, both equally cringey for me. Cole vs. Cameron Cade vs. Chandler: Chandler is a cute name for a girl, but I have a bias for Chandler Bing too hahaha. D Denver vs. Dallas Deklan vs. Dylan: I prefer the spelling Declan, though. Also, I technically like Dylan just a little bit more and would have picked it, but I like it for a girl. My sister had a classmate named Dylan and it sounded really good on her. David vs. Dennis E Ethan vs. Ezra Eitan vs. Elijah Emmanuel vs. Eden: Again, I prefer the name Eden for girls.

F Fabio vs. Ferdinand: I very hesitatingly picked Fabio hence the italics, but I very much dislike both. This is also what I’ll be doing for the rest of the names on here. Finnegan vs. Finley Fernando vs. Frankie: For the millionth time, Frankie is cute for a girl (this is where y’all really see that I prefer daughters more HAHAHA), and this is also because there’s a local singer named Frankie that I really admire.  G Gavin vs. Gus Gumby vs. Gerrick George vs. Grant H Harper vs. Harley Hayden vs. Henry Harlow vs. Hank I Ian vs. Ivan Indigo vs. Iris: Can I just say these are both better off as girl names? Indiana vs. Iris: And these, too?

J John vs. Jericho Jacob vs. Jameson Jasper vs. Jedidiah K Kayden vs. Koa Kent vs. Kyle Kevin vs. Konner: I prefer the spelling Connor, though. L Lars vs. Liam Levi vs. Lance Lester vs. Lorenzo M Michael vs. Matthew Maverick vs. Mason Madison vs. Micah N Nolan vs. Nathan Niko vs. Nathaniel Nicholas vs. Nate: I honestly like both. I can go with naming a son Nicholas then giving them Nate as a nickname. O Ocean vs. Oscar: I hate nature names and Oscar screams old-guy-name to me. Sorry to all the Oscars :( Orville vs. Otis Otto vs. October P Patrick vs. Percy Preston vs. Paisley Parker vs. Passion Q Quincy vs. Quinn Quada vs. Quinten Quailen vs Quidditch R Raven vs. Riley Rowan vs. Rod Ray vs. Roy: I have a bit of a sentimental attachment to Roy cos it’s an occasional nickname Gab’s dad uses. S Skylar vs. Scott: Only because a high school classmate named her kid Schuyler and that baby is seriously adorable, bubbly, and well-behaved. Storm vs. Steven Sorin vs. Solomon T Trevor vs. Travis Todd vs. Taylor Taytum vs. Tanner U Ulysses vs. Uman Umbo vs. Uno Utah vs. Usher: I dislike most geographic names, but I’d rather I name my baby Utah then have them be sang sex-themed songs by Usher by meaner kids throughout their childhood lmao.   V Vance vs. Vincent Vern vs. Vayde Vernon vs. Vayden W Walter vs. Wyatt Wade vs. Winter Wallace vs. Whisper X Xenon vs. Xayden: I really wanted to pick one name for each question, but being stuck between a chemical element and a name ending in -den is an easy no to both for me. Xayler vs. Xavier Xandon vs. Xennan Y Yvonne vs. Yonder: These names are getting more awful now that we’re ending dude, lmao. Yuletide vs. Yasser Yancy vs. Yancer Z Zeeland vs. Zayden Zion vs. Zenon Zander vs. Zenner

A Acacia vs. Alexa Aurora vs. Annalise Avonna vs. Alessandra B Brogan vs. Brooklyn Bianca vs. Brigitta Bailey vs. Brynn C Carlotta vs. Christine Cheyenne vs. Cescily Cecilia vs. Cassidy D Diedra (pronounced Dee-ay-druh) vs. Delilah: But I prefer the spelling Deirdre. Devia vs. Daytona Dakota vs. Darcy E Evonna vs. Eliana Emerald vs. Evangeline Eden vs. Eliza F Felicity vs. Fiona Faith vs. Faye: Both have always been on my blacklist for girl’s names, sorry lol. Flavia (pronoucned Flah-wee-uh) vs. Flora G Grace vs. Gretchen Genesis vs. Galaxy: Please don’t make these names happen. Gabriella vs. Greta: I love both names and have always liked the name Greta because of Greta Garbo, but I’m obviously biased towards my girlfriend so Gabriela/Gabriella it is. H Harper vs. Hope Holly vs. Hailee Harmony vs. Harvest: Again, both cringe material but I guess Harmony makes me cringe juuuuuuust a little less. I Imogene vs. Ivy Isabella vs. Iris Irene vs. Ingrid J Jessica vs. Jacinda Jade vs. Juniper: Juniper would be cute if a baby can stay a baby forever lmao, but I’m generally not a fan. Joanna vs. Joy: But I like the spelling Johanna more. K Kaleidoscope (Kallie for short) vs. Kaylee: Can I just pick the nickname? I hate the other two options :(( Kennedy vs. Kendall: I’d pick both, but thinking as a future mom, I wouldn’t want my daughter to be mercilessly teased for being given a name that’s usually understood to be more masculine in nature. I know we’re all about breaking stereotypes and all, but y’all – realistically, kids can be pretty fucking cruel. Katelyn vs. Katrina L Lacey vs. Linsey Lynnea (proncounced Lynn-ay-uh) vs. Liberty Lara vs. Lola M Morgan vs. Madison Mackenzie vs. Miranda Marissa vs. Monica N Nora vs. Natalie Nevaeh (pronounced Nev-ay-uh) vs. Nicole Niki vs. Noelle O Ophelia vs. Ocean: Only picking Ophelia because I’m generally not a fan of nature names, but there are a lot more better options if I wanted to name my kid after Shakespeare plays, like Beatrice or Emilia. Olivia vs. Onna Opal vs. October: Was never a fan of gemstone names, and there are much better month names than October. P Passion vs. Primrose: I feel the same way for Primrose as I do with Juniper. Mostly cute with babies, but is less cuter on grown-up girls. Penelope vs. Pixie Pandora vs. Palace Q Quintessa vs. Quincy Quaila vs. Quilala (Kwi--lah-lah) Queen vs. Quiencia (Kwee-ence-ee-uh) R Reyna vs. Riley Rosanna vs. Rosemary Rhonda vs. Rodica (Roe-dee-kuh) S Skylar vs. Skye Serena vs. Simone Shailey vs. Sienna T Tessa vs. Taylor Tia vs. Tiana Taytum vs. Trixie: Tatum would be a better spelling. U Una vs. Uta Ulyssia (You-liss-ee-uh) vs. Umba Ula vs. Ursula: Only because it can be a Friends reference lol. V Violet vs. Vylette Veronica vs. Victoria Valencia vs. Valerie W Wynona vs. Whitney: Winona > Wynona, but still. Wynter vs. Whisper Willow vs. Wanda X Xaila vs. Xara Xana vs. Xenon Xavier vs. Xena Y Yasmin vs. Yvonne Yvette vs Yolanda Yori vs. Yaya Z Zayara vs. Zion Zayana vs. Zoey Zen vs. Zara

Final questions!

Your name (first and middle): Robyn Isabelle.Do you like it?I hated the name Robyn throughout my childhood because I always got teased about it. When I got to college and everyone just kinda matured and told me they liked the way my name flowed, I ended up warming up to and loving it.What your parents almost named you:I was almost named Ariel after the Disney princess, and I know my parents were also thinking of naming me Katrina/Katherine/Kaitlyn.Your favorite girl's name (first and middle):Olivia. I don’t have a pick for middle name yet.List five unique names of girls you have met:Shauna, Shontrice, Unila, Ciamae, Rheezan.List five girl's names you don't like:I mostly dislike in-your-face weather/nature names like Winter, Snow, Amethyst, Cloud, Gaia, or Daffodill. But some, like Cheyenne, Rose, and Luna are super cute, too.List five girls name you really like:I’ve done this like 10 times on 10 different surveys but I like names such as Olivia, Elizabeth, Mia, Ava, and Isabella.Your first best friend's name:Kaye.Your siblings names:Nope.The name of the first pet that you loved:Tobi, my pet rabbit.What you would be named if you were the opposite gender:I’ve never asked my parents about this, actually. They’d probably go with a Spanish/Hispanic name, seeing as they went with Joaquin for my brother but were also thinking of naming him Diego.

[fcstation1063]

A-Z Book Tag

I ran across this and thought I’d give it a try.

A- Author you’ve read the most: Based on number of books on my shelves, Rick Riordan.

B- Best sequel ever: This is not a fair question, but I’m going with The Toll by Neal Shusterman, because the wait made it that much better. 

C- Currently reading: Rereading City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

D- Drink of choice while reading: Water or coffee

E- E-reader or physical book: Physical book. Only time I read on a screen is if it’s fanfiction.

F- Fictional character you probably would have dated in HS: She’d have been way out of my league, but Isabelle Lightwood.

G- Glad you gave this book a chance: Vicious by V.E. Schwab. I ordered it so I’d have something for her to sign, and I’m so glad I did.

H- Hidden gem book(s): The Unicorn Chronicles series by Bruce Coville. I was obsessed with these when I was a kid. No one ever talks about them.

I- Important moment in your reading life: Seeing they/them used as a singular pronoun for the first time (The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan).

J- Just finished: Rereading The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, and Maureen Johnson.

K- Kind of books you won’t read: Classics, and most historical fiction.

L- Longest book you’ve read: Might be Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas. I’m not sure.

M- Major book hangover because of: Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. I literally couldn’t think about anything else for days.

N- Number of bookcases you own: 4

O- One book you’ve read multiple times: It’s embarrassing how many times I’ve read Carry On by Rainbow Rowell.

P- Preferred place to read- Bed.

Q- Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read: “Whatever you are physically, male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy- all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. Whatever the color, the shape, the design of the shade that conceals it, the flame inside the lamp remains the same. You are that flame.”- Jem Carstairs

R- Reading regret: All the assigned reading I’ve ever had to do for school. Also Twilight.

S- Series you started and need to finish: It doesn’t count as finishing a series, but I’ve had Starsight by Brandon Sanderson sitting around forever (the sequel to Skyward).

T- Three of your all-time favorite books: Another unfair question. I’ll say Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare,Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, and The Raven King by Maggie Steifvater.

U- Unapologetic nerd-out for: Literally all things bookish, but I’ll just say Harry Potter.

V- Very excited for this release, more than all the others: The Lost Book of the White by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu.

W- Worst bookish habit: Tapping on the pages of books while I read. I’ve been told the sound is infuriating. 

X- X marks the spot. Start at the top left of your bookshelf and pick the 27th book: Depends on which shelf you’re counting on: Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell, A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab,The Burning Maze by Rick Riordan, or Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.  

Y- Your latest book purchase: Just preordered One True King by Soman Chainani.

Z- Zzz snatcher. Last book that kept you up way too late: Heart of Flames by Nicki Pau Preto. 

[accidentalspaceexplorer]

A to Z Recommendations

I’ve seen a couple of people doing @macrolit‘s challenge and it seems really cool so I’m gonna do it! I tried to pick ones of my favorites that other people might not yet know.

A: Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery (This one’s my favorite of the series.) B: The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley C: A Company of Swans by Eva Ibbotson D: A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge E: The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede F: Fire by Kristin Cashore G: Going Postal by Terry Pratchett H: His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik I: The Imperial Radch books by Ann Leckie J: The Just City by Jo Walton K: Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear L: The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch M: Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson N: A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan O: Odds Against by Dick Francis P: Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder Q: The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner R: Red Rising by Pierce Brown S: Sabriel by Garth Nix T: Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton U: The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman V: The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold--again, not a book but a series. Be warned, they get a little dark. W: The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett X: For this one I have nothing I’d recommend--no X authors or titles--so I’m counting this one as an eXtra space ;) for books I love that didn’t really fit: So You Want to Be a Wizard by Diane Duane and everything by Tamora Pierce. Y: The Year of Secret Assignments by Jaclyn Moriarty Z: According to Goodreads and my own capable brain, I have read absolutely nothing that starts with Z, so this is the best I can do: The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak.

If anyone wants to know why I recommend them, let me know, and I can tell you about them!
