[peachymilkandcream]

Can you please give us some HCs about Evelyn :) Like her quirks, likes, dislikes, hobbies, habits, facts about her, etc.

General Evelyn Headcanons

(A/N: I have been waiting waiting for this request! I realize I haven't given much detail on Evelyn but I did that because it's her story yes but because Levi is the way he is he's taken it over. So I'll also categorize each of these so I can do each one on the list! (I don't have a faceclaim to put with this for Evelyn tho bc I'm not an artist so sorry about that. Unless someone wants to slide in the inbox for a more detailed description 0_0 jk jk)

WARNINGS: None, she is literally perfection and doesn't deserve Levi's ass but I love causing her trauma

===========================================

Likes ->

It's been lowkey mentioned before but Evelyn is a big reader, Hange introduced her to it and now they give each other book recs.(Hange always insists on recommending smut to piss off Levi)

Girlie is an autumn enthusiast, even though Levi thinks of her as his spring (yes it's a Fruits Basket reference don't @ me) Pumpkins, cozy blankets, leaf crunching, the whole nine yards. She would be that friend if camera's were more available to use bedsheets and take pictures as ghosts

Avid music and dancing fan, obviously the only music they have is classical and Levi taught her how to dance which is what they used to do until the wedding

More often than not she'll grab the paper from Levi in the morning and look at local death cases and try and figure out who did it before reading the full story, although she's stopped since Levi deemed it "unladylike"

The staff that do talk to her recently started teaching her to bake, although unfortunately Levi was the recipient of some failed attempts.

In the winters she occupies her time crocheting, she can only make blankets, scarves and mittens but hey, Levi now has an endless supply

Hange used to be (and still kinda is) her best friend, I didn't show it much because the series is supposed to be about her and Levi not her and Hange but they were besties for a long time

She hates to admit it but baths with Levi is actually very relaxing, he's warm and it's nice to be up against his chest like that

Dislikes ->

Levi lmao (obvious answer)

She's honestly and truly afraid of the dark, she's younger than Levi but not that much younger and she's still afraid of the dark. Shadows coming in the night scare her so in those moments she (unwillingly) clings to him. Although part of her wonders if he drapes clothes and things a certain way to look like shapes

She hates hot weather, she's not in love with the whole sundress without panties summer vibe, too hot and sticky

Cooking is her worst enemy, baking is fun enough but cooking will be the death of her

Erwin (again obviously)

The Survey Corps uniforms, who the hell designed the white pants in mind come on

Hobbies ->

As mentioned so I'll just go over quick, reading, baking, crocheting :)

Habits & Quirks ->

She's a habitual sleep without panties and just a shirt person, everything else is too warm and annoying, tibbies free to the wind

While cooking is the bane of her existence, she is a firm believer of fuck around and find out there, making amalgamations of food when she cooked for herself

Designated mom friend, she makes herself (before with Levi but now herself) the one who makes sure the underage Scouts don't get ahold of booze and make a fool out of everyone

She'll keep you in check but if you do get in a bind she'll walk you home and hold your hair back to puke

She enjoys having her hair played with so she'll sit for hours and let whoever wants to braid her hair or do funky styles, she just likes the physical touch of it

No matter what she does she's cold as hell, Levi keeps the home scorching hot so she's comfortable, he'd rather go around shirtless than have her freeze

Fun Facts ->

For fun she let Hange use bleach on her hair and now she highlights it when she can, Levi still lets her since he's learned how to do it and it makes her hair interesting

Levi cuts her hair, he already does his own so he's learned how to cut her curly hair

She keeps her hair in pin curls, which isn't usually the style for the officer's wives since they're usually older

Levi used to bring her flowers randomly to woo her but she's just come to like getting them

One time she wore one of Levi's shirts to bake as an act of revenge if it got stained but when he got home and saw her the idea of her wearing his clothes was so hot he encourages her to wear them all the time

[aspens-orchard]

7-18

7. Don't want most of my muses to date women, purely bc I don't like women myself and don't think I'd be a good partner irp or at the very least a realistic partner irp to a female muse because of this. Still open to female ships tho, just not nsfw ones!

8. Trauma 100%. Aspen has major performance anxiety and stage fright, from me. Mercury has religious trauma which started a horrible cycle of self hatred and selling his body bc he felt worthless, similar to my religious trauma (although I never ended up selling my body due to insecurities). Grafaiteck is extremely worried about other's opinions of them and has a fear of failure due to their parents having such high expectations of them as a kid, similar to me. Etc etc I could go on for hours analyzing each detail in all of my muses that comes from my own personal experiences.

9. Extremeties. I'm very much a mixture of all my ocs all together, taking bits and pieces of personality from each of them, such as my hatred for authority for Flint, but each muse takes those traits I give them and makes it the core part of their personalities, rather than a small piece of it.

10. That's a tough one, I likely wouldn't be friends with most of my muses but the ones I would be friends with would be: Kel, Grafaiteck, Key, Anetto, possibly Eros, Viola, and middle school me would've been friends with Janine

11. Almost all of my muses are ocs so duplicates would be concerning considering theft, but if by chance I did rp duplicates I'd probably just have it be Jacq and he's just fully fascinated by it bc time travel ✨

12. Not necessarily, most of my old muses were dropped bc I left the fandom, lost interest, or just had other muses I liked way better. I do think it'd be fun to go back and do another Danganronpa killing game rp, those were fun for the angst

13. Grafaiteck does 'Girl Month' just like Finnster does

14. Shit shit shit what's her name.... Taylor Jenkins Reid!! I've only read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo from her so far, but I love how it's told in incriments from the perspective of both Evelyn reliving her memories and the interviewer's life outside of Evelyn's book. It melds really well and I'd love to write in her style, some of my more descriptive scenes in rp are inspired by that book.

15. People who respond to me honestly. Genuinely. I've had countless potential rp partners ghost me after agreeing to plot a rp with me, I just want someone who will actually respond to my messages. But the honesty comes in with I don't wanna force people into rps and would love if my to partners tell me exactly what they want to do for a rp bc I'm really open to a lot, I'm better at listening to plans and executing them than making plans.

16. My favorite trope has got to be domestic life of a hardened criminal, just them falling in and out of love, dealing with life and the repurcussions of their past actions, and dealing with all of their own toxic behaviors and traumas from being a criminal. That's also why I like watching The Way of the Househusband, real good anime.

17. Least favorite trope is absolutely genuinely bullying someone you like for their attention, it's childish and I'd like it a lot more if it didn't have such a toxic impact on school crush culture, that really affected a lot of people's ways of viewing love and affection as kids and fucked them up.

18. Not really, I like my main AU fairly well :>

[fr1day-incredible]

Thanks for the tag!

And no pressure tags: @angst-is-love-angst-is-life @the-feral-gremlin (and any other mutuals/followers that write or just anyone who wants to do this tbh)

Novels, Short stories or Poems?

Well my ambitions lay with Novels. But i have yet to finish one. So I am now trying to write short stories (and in regards to reading, anything but poetry)

What genre do you prefer reading?

Oh it's gotta be action, crime, fluff (can you even call that a genre? Lmao) and horror. Yeah horror gotta be my ultimate favourite tbh

Are you a planer or write as I go kind of person?

Ik i should be a planner, but in reality I'm the figure-it-out-as-i-got-but-then-give-up-not-even-half-way-trougth-cuz-i-did-in-fact-not-figure-it-out

What music do you listen to while writing?

Really depends on what I'm writing, but usually I just got for my "Random <3" playlist that is 25+ hours long and has a fuck ton of different genres of songs in it

Favourite books/movies?

The warrior cats kid will forever live inside me. But Two Little Savages, it was my dad's favourite childhood book and so he showed it to me and I loved it as well <3 And here is also Three on a boat, not counting the dog, that my parents/grandma read to me and honestly I barely remember what it was about. But what I do remember is that I loved it! Also some specific Sherlock Holmes stories, I don't remember their names. I just remember it was a book my mom got as a present years ago, and it just had a collection of Sherlock stories with some unrelated pirate stories in there as well. And my god I was feral after that book, Sherlock had me in a choke hold!

Tho gotta say I only know warrior cats in Norwegian and the other three only in Russian. So my view of them might differ from the view that people who read them in English have lmao

And for movies it's gotta be Ocean's 11, Queen of the gas station orrrr Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future

If someone were to make a cartoon out of you, what would your standard outfit be?

Oh I wish I could say that it would be some really cool stylish outfit. But in reality it would be baggy jeans/sweet pants, a random t shirt, a hoodie and then headphones that have seen some shit as an accessory

Create a character description of yourself?

Ummmm, yeah I don't have the energy for that

Do you like to incorporate actual people you know into your stories?

I haven't actually done it, but I like the idea of it! Like making my friend(s) into epic background characters. Or if I'm writing a fic and one of the characters reminds me of someone ik irl, I can see myself giving some of the traits of the person ik irl to the character in a headcanon way

Are you kill happy with your characters?

I keep switching between it, like I decide to kill off a character and but then i change my mind about and then it's an infinite back and forth. So I think I gotta start compromising with: only almost killing them, resurrection (bonus point if they come back wrong one way or the other), becoming a ghost after death. But I'm not sure, I gotta think about it

Tea or coffee?

Tea (or water or some soda). I can not stand the taste or smell of coffee tbh

Slow or fast writer?

Sloooooooooow. Slow!

Where/What/Who do you draw inspiration from?

Anything, everything and anyone, literally

If you were in a fantasy world, what would it be?

Ooooo, I would love to become part of Narnia, Lotr/the hobbit or my own original world! :D

Most favourite book cliche? Least favourite?

Idk about favourite. I don't really issues with cliches, like just write what you want and like. And if I personally don't like it, I'll just click off and let you be in peace. But still I have my least favourite tropes, and it's: (if you can even count it as cliches) when a character loses their powers at the end, does a 360° to get kids and settle down pretty much out of the blue or loses all common sense because of a love interest they keep chasing. Like these tropes ofc can be done well! But most of the time I personally just don't like them either way 🤷

Favourite scene to write?

Oh that gotta be dialogue (especially if the characters are bickering), descriptions or a character's inner thoughts!

Reason for writing?

For my original story, I just want to document all my ideas so that I remember them and have a bit of me still exist in the far future! And for fics I just want to be part of the community, making people and myself happy with my works :D

Writeblr Interview Tag

Dearest @sableglass, again, many thanks. I appreciate you. Hope you are having a stupendous day. I hope you kick this weeks butt. The week is your bitch now.

Short stories, novels, or poems?

All. I write (very bad) poetry, and read (very good) poetry.

What genre do you prefer reading?

I lean towards fantasy tbh. I don't read much anymore- full time job means i choose- read or write. I usually choose to write.

Are you a planner or a write as I go kind of person?

Pft. What's a plan?

I really like stories that grow organically and move reactionary (kinda like playing a live D&D game with yourself).

So if i have a plan it's usually only some rough ideas of what happens next.

What music do you listen to while writing?

None. I write in silence.

No I'm not joking.

Yes, i'm aware its weird.

Favorite books/movies?

I don't have one really? But I guess right now I'm re-obsessed with Avatar the Last Air Bender. I am more obsessed with High Rollers D&D streams presently.

Go watch, it's better than anything on the Tellie.

If someone were to make a cartoon out of you what would your standard outfit be?

I'm seasonal:

late spring to end of summer:

tanktop, shorts, socks with sandals

late summer through the cold bits:

beanie, hoodie, yoga pants

Create a character description of yourself: 

Eww no.

Do you like incorporating actual people you know into your writing?

No? There may be pieces of people I know but i cannot say that any character reflects any one person.

Are you kill happy with your characters?

:)

Coffee or Tea while writing?

Both at the same time, also probably water and a club soda. I have 2-4 drinks with me at any given time.

Slow or fast writer?

Depends honestly. Some books go sonic fast, and some go much slower.

Where/who/what do you draw inspiration from?

The cosmic ether.

If you were in a fantasy world, what would you be?

Party healer that gets forced into supporting the protagonist and main party.

I'm combining these three because same answer who dis:

Most fav book cliche

Least favorite cliche

Favorite scene to write

The answer is that there is no answer. Most of this depends on how well the words go for me in terms of writing or reading. I'm quite happy with most cliches or scenes as long as it feels in keeping with the character.

Reason for writing?

The universe beats me on the head if i stop for too long. It's not a choice, it's a compulsion.

I be taggin (hopefully this isn't redundant, trying to revitalize the tag game economy and spread the <3 ):

[ultraqueer]

hey lads! i’m queueing this up for right after i go under for knee surgery tomorrow, so i obv won’t be able to respond to anything right away (as i’ll be Drugged As Fuck post-op) but!! here we go (the scene and a few more notes under a read more bc It Is Long)

i posted a lil something about maybe putting a snippet of my original one-act play on here for @duck-days and some people seemed interested, so here it is! i initially wrote this to challenge myself, as i’ve never considered myself especially strong when it comes to writing dialogue (or like... writing a whole ass play on my own lmao), and then challenged myself further by directing it myself. honestly this production was one of the best things i’ve ever done and i doubt i’ll ever forget it

a bit of background for anyone interested:

this was originally written for my college’s one-act play festival in april of 2018

it was selected!! yay!!! and performed at the end of that month

the show’s run time was about 40 min total

my beautiful actors got their shit together in the span of three weeks to put this thing on

i cried A Lot

this is just the first scene (of thirteen), plus the character descriptions, and i don’t intend on ever posting the full text online (i’m down to answer any questions you might have about it tho!!), but there is a recording of the show that i might put up at a later date. anyways i get hella emotional whenever i think abt this show so i’m just gonna shut up and let it speak for itself yEEt

POSSESS 

CHARACTER LIST - 

Nadiya King – College junior. A film major intrigued by the paranormal. Sweet, charming, and curious, but at times naïve or oblivious. Female.

Sloane Robertson – College junior and Nadiya’s best friend. Smitten with Nadiya. Intelligent and cautious, but often plays along with Nadiya’s plans. Female.

Desdemona – Spirit. Nineteen when she passed. Summoned by Nadiya, quickly becoming smitten with and possessive of her. Easily angered or made jealous. Female.

Reese – College junior and Nadiya’s roommate. Smitten with Brent. Outwardly sweet and a bit ditzy, but quick to anger. Female or nonbinary.

Logan – College junior and Sloane’s roommate. Cool-headed and logical; generally the one to get their friends out of a pinch. Any gender.

Brent – College senior, living in the biggest frat on campus. Known to be a “player” with more than questionable flirting tactics. Male.

SCENE ONE - 

[An old, eerie house. The furniture and floor are covered in a thick layer of dust and ash - in fact, most everything in the room is burnt to some degree, save for one thing: a shiny, deep purple ribbon curled up on the floor. A pendant hangs from the ribbon. Loud laughter and footsteps from offstage, at which point NADIYA, SLOANE, LOGAN, and REESE enter. REESE is holding a ghastly mask, positively giddy, while SLOANE appears shaken]

REESE: Come on, Sloane, it was funny!

SLOANE: I came here to support Nadiya’s “research” - not to get jumpscared the second we got here!

REESE: But the timing was perfect!

[NADIYA leans her head on SLOANE’s shoulder, eyes wide]

NADIYA: We’re sorry we frightened you, ‘Lo. Can you find it in your heart to forgive us?

[SLOANE looks down at NADIYA and then away, blushing furiously]

SLOANE: I- y-yes.

[NADIYA leaps upright, grinning, and REESE claps her hands]

But I swear to god, if you pull that again…

[As she trails off, NADIYA and REESE move toward the center of the room, whispering. NADIYA pulls out a Ouija board, a candle, and a book of matches. SLOANE stares after NADIYA, until LOGAN taps her on the shoulder]

LOGAN: Real subtle, there.

SLOANE: W-What are you talking about?

LOGAN (to NADIYA and REESE): Alright, what are the ghost hunters up to now?

REESE: Well, you know how my aunt is flipping this old place?

[LOGAN and SLOANE nod]

And she keeps thinking she’s hearing things whenever she visits the property?

[They nod again]

Well, Nadiya thought -

NADIYA: What if we try to talk to whoever’s here?

LOGAN (chuckling, under her breath): Whatever.

NADIYA: Exactly, Logan! Or whatever might be inhabiting the house. Something must be here - it just feels… odd.

[NADIYA kneels on the floor and brushes away some dust, placing the board, planchette, and candle on the cleaned place. Her hair falls in her face, and as she brushes it away, the ribbon catches her eye. She picks it up]

NADIYA: ‘Lo, did you drop this?

SLOANE: Why me?

NADIYA: I don’t know, it seems like something you might like.

[She holds it out to the others]

Logan? Reese?

LOGAN: Nah, not my style.

REESE: Looks kind of gross.

[NADIYA shrugs, but doesn’t put the ribbon down, instead using it to tie her own hair back. She proceeds to light the candle. The moment forgotten, the others join her in kneeling and place their hands on the planchette. SLOANE holds back]

SLOANE: And you sure this is safe?

[NADIYA removes her hands, placing one on SLOANE’s shoulder]

NADIYA: Completely safe, ‘Lo. I’ve been doing this as long as I can remember! As long as we all follow the rules, nothing should bother us.

[Hesitantly, SLOANE puts her hands on the planchette, as does NADIYA]

REESE: Nadiya, you’re asking the questions, right?

NADIYA: That’s what I was planning - if you want to ask something you can, but in my experience it’s best to have someone who’s played before do most of the questioning. You know, just in case.

[REESE nods, and NADIYA closes her eyes. A beat]

NADIYA: Hello?

[A beat]

Are there any presences here with us tonight?

[A moment passes. Then, slowly, the planchette moves to ‘YES’]

NADIYA: When did you die?

[Planchette moves to spell ‘0-6’]

NADIYA: 2006?

[Planchette moves to ‘NO’]

NADIYA: 1906?

[Planchette moves to ‘YES’]

NADIYA: What may I call you?

[Planchette spells the name ‘D-E-S-D-E-M-O-N-A’]

NADIYA: Desdemona?

[A door somewhere in the house slams shut, causing the others to jump]

SLOANE: Nadiya, I don’t think-

NADIYA: Shh!

REESE: Come on Sloane, tonight’s finally getting interesting!

NADIYA: There was a fire here, in the early nineteen hundreds… Desdemona, was that you?

[The planchette is still]

Desdemona?

[A beat]

If anyone is here, show yourselves!

[Instantly, there is a large crash as the windows in the room blow open, extinguishing the candle. The others scream]

REESE: O-kay, this was fun and all, but I think I’m done.

SLOANE: Seconded.

LOGAN: Yeah, no objections here.

NADIYA: Fine. Just make sure you all close out the session properly, alright?

[The others nod. One by one, each student uses the planchette to spell ‘GOODBYE’ as they say it, closing out the session. As they do so, DESDEMONA silently enters the stage, standing directly in NADIYA’s line of vision.]

NADIYA [Opening her eyes]: Good-

[NADIYA locks eyes with DESDEMONA and stops dead. The others don’t realize and remove their hands from the planchette, leaving NADIYA playing alone. NADIYA hastily takes her hands from the planchette]

NADIYA: Do you see that?

SLOANE: What?

NADIYA: That! There’s someone over there!

[The others turn to look but see nothing. After a beat, they break out laughing]

REESE: Good one, Nadiya, you really had us going there!

NADIYA: What?

REESE: The door, the wind, “seeing” something - that was a killer prank!

NADIYA: What?

SLOANE: Prank or not, I really don’t like the vibe of this place. It feels weird. Can we go?

LOGAN: Yeah, let’s.

[SLOANE, LOGAN, and REESE exit, leaving NADIYA and DESDEMONA still staring at one another. Not breaking eye contact, NADIYA backs away, then turns and bolts from the room. Blackout]

[cloverr-fields]

All odd numbers of the cute asks

Oh goodness, this is gonna be a long one but here we go!! 

1. Who was the last person you held hands with? Probably one of my roommates, but not in like a walking-talking sense! It was more like she came into my room and took my hand lol

3. Who are you looking forward to seeing? A bunch of people, actually! I’m looking forward to seeing my best friend when she sleeps over this week, and I’m looking forward to seeing my mom and other best friend when I go back home in three months. 

5. If you were drunk, would the person you like take care of you? Without question, although I think I’d be okay! I don’t usually get drunk, and I’m generally the friend who’s taking care of people lol. They’d probably be laughing at my ridiculousness a lot. 

7. Do you think you’ll be in a relationship two months from now? I mean, I don’t know….. Would I like to be? Ideally, but I’m also in the middle of classes and I don’t really know how that’d work out practically. 

9. Does talking about sex make you uncomfortable? Nope~ I’m really open about those kinds of things tbh. 

11. What does the most recent text that you sent say? Let me go find it…. “Ohhh okay” (Sorry, I know it’s pretty unexciting) 

13. Do you like it when people play with your hair? Yes yes yes yes yessssss it is the number one thing to do that calms me right down (besides hugs). 

15. What good thing happened this summer? This past summer, I spent most of my time in camp and with friends, and that was super fun. I got really close with people that I didn’t expect to! Also, I moved to Israel! 

17. Do you think there is life on other planets? Define life. Bacteria and other protozoic life forms, definitely. I don’t know if I totally buy into the idea of intelligent life forms on other planets and aliens like the Hollywood movies show. 

19. Do you like bubble baths? I love them, but I don’t take them very often. Lush is one of my favorite stores, I love bath time products. 

21. What are your bad habits? I bite my nails sometimes, but I’m trying to get over that and I’m managing it really well! I’m also a tapper, and I tend to grind my teeth/hum when I’m not paying attention. I also chew gum a lot and bite the little clip things off of mechanical pencils…..

23. Do you have trust issues? Some, yeah. Depends on with who and regarding what, though. I stopped journaling for a long while because of trust issues, but I’m super open with people and I consider everyone trustworthy until proven otherwise, in most cases! 

25. What part of your body are you most uncomfortable with? My stomach. I hate it. 

27. Do you wish your skin was lighter or darker? I wish I was more tan, but otherwise not really! 

29. Have any of your ex’s told you they regret breaking up? Yeah. 

31. Is your hair long enough for a ponytail? I refuse to cut my hair so short that it would not be. So yes, absolutely. 

33. Spell your name with your chin. eliusahewv casYes, that is definitely my name. Not too far off tho!

35. Would you rather live without TV or music? TV hands down. I depend on music like you wouldn’t believe. 

37. What do you say during awkward silences? Usually nothing tbh…. I’m not really the one to break them. But I usually try and do an “anyway” segway or something like that. 

39. What are your favorite stores to shop in? Lush, Bath and Body Works, Barnes and Nobles, Target, Macy’s, Bloomingdales. 

41. Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance? Yes, but a limited one. Your second chance with me is usually your last, and if you hurt me again I drop you entirely. I try to keep that my policy, but there are definitely exceptions. 

43. Do you smile at strangers? Absolutely. I smiled at a bunch today! 

45. What makes you get out of bed in the morning? Talking to my friends, and my alarm clock. Also, eventually I just get fed up with my own laziness too, so there’s that. 

47. Have you ever been high? No, and I don’t plan on it. 

49. Have you done anything recently that you hope nobody finds out? Yes, and I really hope that they don’t. It was nothing bad, before you get any ideas! It’s just…. Something personal, if that makes sense? 

51. Ever wished you were someone else? Yes, and I still do at times. That’s something I’m trying to work on. 

53. Favorite makeup brand? The only brand name things of makeup I have come from Bobbi Brown, I think, so maybe I’ll default to them? Or Mac? 

55. Favorite blog? I don’t really have one, honestly…. I like a lot of different bloggers and people!

57. Favorite food? Pizza, hands down. 

59. First thing you ate this morning? Wacky mac. I didn’t have a very nutritional breakfast. 

61. Ever been suspended/expelled? For what? Oh God no. I think I would die. 

63. Ever been in love? This is a complicated question. I’ve had a lot of strong feelings for people before, but I think there’s maybe one person I would say that I’ve been in love with. We broke things off a while ago, and we’re good friends now, but I still have a lot of feelings for her. 

65. Are you hungry right now? I’m so hungry tbh I’m waiting for my roommate to get out of the shower so that we can go pick up sushi. 

67. Facebook or Twitter? Facebook, but simply because I don’t use my Twitter like ever. 

69. Are you watching TV right now? Nope! I’m looking between this answer and the question list lol

71. Craving something? What? Sushi omg I want it so bad I’m so hungry

73. Do you sleep with stuffed animals? I do, actually! I have a teddy bear that my mom gave me when I last was home, and it helps me sleep at night when I’m homesick or in a bad place. I’m a very touchy-huggy person so to me it’s a big help. 

75. Favorite animal? Any form of feline. I love cats. 

77. Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate all the way. 

79. What color shirt are you wearing? Black, actually! It’s got a pretty blue and white pattern/design thing too! 

81. Favorite TV show? Ummm probably Psych? Not sure, I have to think on this one a little more. Maybe Bones? 

83. Mean Girls or Mean Girls 2? I’ve never seen the second one, so Mean Girls? 

85. Favorite character from Mean Girls? Karen. (I think? It’s been a while since I’ve watched it) 

87. First person you talked to today? It was either @justanotherurl-not​ or @mizuritamanami​ but I don’t know for certain. 

89. Name a person you hate? A particular girl from high school might fit this description. For her privacy, I’ll just call her Sam. 

91. Is there anyone you want to punch in the face right now? At this exact moment, no. 

93. How many sweatpants do you have? So many pairs omg. My high school gave them out religiously. 

95. Last movie you watched? The Greatest Showman (WHICH EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH IT’S SO GOOD) 

97. Favorite actor? Ummm not sure. That’s a very good question. Probably someone like Leonardo DiCaprio, or Chris Evans maybe? 

99. Have any pets? No, unfortunately, but I plan on getting a cat sometime soon! 

101. Do you type fast? Yeah, and I can more or less touch type now! I’ve memorized my laptop keyboard lol thanks Mavis Beacon! 

103. Can you spell well? Usually I’m very good with spelling. My mom likes to joke that it’s because I read the dictionary when I was younger (which I did, so maybe she has a point). 

105. Ever been to a bonfire party? The only one that might qualify I’m not going to count, so nope! Maybe someday! 

107. Have you ever been on a horse? Yes, and I love horseback riding so much. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t gone- it’s so relaxing and I had the best time doing it. 

109. Is something irritating you right now? Someone, but yes. It’s not their fault, though, so I probably won’t say anything to them. 

111. Do you have trust issues? I think this was already a question on this ask….?

113. What was your childhood nickname? It’s not really shorter than my name, but my mom used to call me her “princess ballerina.” 

115. Do you play the Wii? I did, but I haven’t in four or five years, since we moved and never unpacked it. 

117. Do you like chicken noodle soup? Who doesn’t? 

119. Favorite book? Right now, probably The Somnabulist by Jonathan Bates, but I love almost every book I’ve read. The Eragon series is also one of my favorites, and I love classical literature, like A Tale of Two Cities and The Sun Also Rises. 

121. Are you mean? I can be, if I want to or have to be. But I hate it, so I try very hard to steer clear. 

123. Can you keep white shoes clean? I can’t keep any shoes clean.

125. Do you believe in true love? Yes, but I believe that it’s usually something that grows with time and isn’t just magically found. 

127. What makes you happy? Music, good food, friends, a good book, a good movie, rewatching old anime series that I haven’t seen in a while, etc. Flowers, cats, pretty things. I’m a girl of simple pleasures. 

129. What’s your zodiac sign? Taurus! (April 28th is my birthday!) 

131. Your best friend of the opposite sex likes you, what do you do? This one hits a little close to home at the moment. It depends on the circumstances. 

133. Favorite lyrics right now? “She’s the tear in my heart/she’s a carver/she’s a butcher with a smile/cut me farther than I’ve ever been,” -Tear in My Heart, twenty one pilots

135. Dumbest lie you ever told? I really don’t know. Maybe that I was British? but I wound up fooling the teacher for two weeks, so.

137. How tall are you? 5′4″!

139. Brunette or blonde? I’ve always wanted to be a blonde, but I have recently started liking my hair (I’m a brunette) although I definitely have a thing for blondes. 

141. Night or day? Night has always been more peaceful to me, but I love the sunshine. Maybe like twilight time? 

143. Are you a vegetarian? No, but I could be if I wanted to! 

145. Tea or coffee? Tea is what I like better, but I definitely appreciate a good cup of coffee with plenty of milk and sugar. 

147. Mars or Snickers? I had a Mars bar for the first time this year, and I definitely prefer it. 

149. Do you believe in ghosts? Absolutely. I love watching all of the ghost hunting shows, even though I know they’re bullshit and I kinda believe them lol

Okay!! I made it through all of them! I hope the answers were satisfactory and thank you so much for asking, you wonderful person!!! 

Ask me anything               This ask list

[jimlingss]

I'M SCREAMING I JUST ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CALC CLASS AVCHFKDBCBZJDHXHSJSHXV

BLESS 👏 YOUR 👏 SOUL 👏. I can't wait to read this later!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Can I just say I appreciate your messages so much?? I mean they’re always detailed and you give me your thoughts every step of the way and it’s so amazing. Trust me, I read each of them three of four times with a smile of my face. I know it must take a lot of effort for you so sincerely, thank you so much.

Namjoon! Haha!! That's so appropriate

:0 he can't take hoseok?! I wonder what that meansss 👀👀 also like idk if you've read the Dominion by Bentley Little but something about the way you described how he got up from the rubble reminded me of bentley's writing style. I wonder how hoseok died 👀

Oh, I’ve never heard or read about that book yet. It sounds interesting .

"Chirp with a trill" "vivid hue of verdant" things just got so pretty wow :') that tone change tho

This is so freaken pretty wow i'm completely in love with the way you've written this. The scenery & y/n & the way you described regret i love it ALL. I love the way you described her when she spun around, it made a really nice image in my head. Maybe w/a strand or 2 of hair coming out of place & onto her face aesthetically, & her skirt slightly swaying after she turned, & her eyes when she looked at her grandma. Idk why i'm picturing y/n's eyes as like a pretty light golden brown, kinda red-ish

:3 thank you. I think I’m improving with my description a lot, especially compared to back then, but I still try not to go too overboard with it. It’s also very interesting to see how you visualize the OC

Ayyyye Jacksonnn :D (idk if this is meant to be got7's jackson but that's what i'm picturing in my head now)Also i really like these grim reapers, i'm expecting them to provide some kind of comic relief lol (also i'm sorry for sending so many separate little messages i'll start putting them together to make long ones 😶 don't wanna spam you /too/ much)

haha yes I used Jackson from got7 since his friendship with Namjoon’s just great. (lately I don’t know if they’ve kept in contact though). And I didn’t mean for the Reapers to be so humorous but they are. They’re always trying to freak the ghosts out and be seen as intimidating rofl.

And don’t worry it’s not spam at all! Considering no one else has messaged me about it, you’re making up for the lack of it haha

OH MY GOD. I AM SCREAMING. I LOVED THAT SO MUCH 😭😭 the way you described hoseok & how he feels /hurts/ it's like he feels loss but he doesn't know what he's lost. And the way you described y/n at the end.. Wow my heart's stopping right along with hoseoks. 😂 idk why but in my head y/n is a beautiful korean girl with long dark hair, but with traditional mexican-looking skirts. I guess it's cuz of the flowy-ness 😂 and then with the ribbon it reminded me of the way ribbons get braided into hair

You described Hoseok perfectly. It’s exactly that. He feels like there’s a been a humongous loss in his life but he doesn’t know what it is. Also, I actually (kind of) inspired my main OC from Mitsuha Miyamizu, the main female heroine of the movie ‘Your Name’. They’re both priestesses and I did some research into Japanese shrine maidens which are called Miko. Trust me, I am not that well versed in the subject but that’s what my descriptions are going for. At least the attire of the OC.

And i just... I just love namjoon's character 😂 he's so funnyyy and amusing like he abandoned his menacing look cuz he was tired of chasing around hoseok (& irl i feel look namjoon would have a realll hard time catching hoseok like that boy seems to have endless reserves of) and can i just say the hopeful tone of his voice at the end just 😭💖💔💖 makes my heart go out to him ah my poor babyI love this!! I already can't wait for the next chapter :33 looking forward to what's in store :D 💖

Namjoon is actually a very interesting character. I won’t spoil anything. 

I’m really happy that you’re looking forward to the new chapter and honestly, thank you again for your messages. They’re great and signalling that I haven’t fucked it up, you know? Usually my angst series don’t do that well (or at least initially when I begin posting them) and sometimes I begin to doubt myself but you fuel me to keep going. Thank you.

9 Writing Essentials

Hey People of Earth!

Today I wanted to share 5 essentials I use often when writing. @sarahkelsiwrites actually already did a blog post like this (which you can check out HERE), but fun fact, I was supposed to do the exact same thing, and she beat me to it... We must be twins or something, amirite.

1. Green tea

I probably drink an unhealthy amount of green tea every day. I honestly can’t write without green tea. It’s somewhat of a routine at this point to come downstairs, make a cup of tea, then get to writing. I’m all for the simple green tea, so dessert teas/herbal teas are things I usually don’t have on hand. Though I love me some quality David’s Tea, I’m perfectly fine drinking green tea from the same bag for 10 hours. lol.

2. Text to speech

@sarahkelsiwrites mentioned this in her post, mostly because she introduced it to me in the first place. I’ve been using this feature in Word for a couple months, and I can say I absolutely love it. Sometimes, when I’m not feeling my work, I find listening to it out loud gets me in the mood. Also, it’s a great method for catching typos, and in general, creates a really engaging space for me. HERE’s the tutorial for how to enable this feature in Word.

If you don't have Word, or would prefer to use mobile, I used to use this app called Natural Read all the time. It’s been a while since I used it, but when I downloaded it a while back, it gave an allotted number of free reading hours before you have to purchase the app. I actually really like this app because it sounds less like a robot (and they also have different voices!), so if that’ll bother you, I’d check that out. I also used to copy and paste my chapters into Google translate before I found out about this Word feature since they have an option to listen to the text out loud.

3. WordBook

I just recently downloaded this app (it’s free in the Windows store, don’t think it’s available for Mac), and I love it! It’s a dictionary/thesaurus app, and it’s seriously so helpful. Usually, when looking for synonyms, I hop onto google and dive straight over to thesaurus.com, but I find it’s somewhat inefficient since you have to pull up the browser, type in what you want, etc. I wanted to find a thesaurus app for this so I can just always have it open on my desktop, and I found that through WordBook. Not only is it a super efficient app, it’s got a really clean layout, and WORKS OFFLINE.

This is what its layout looks, featuring one of my favourite words.

As you can see, it has three tabs on the left. I usually just search up a word on the right, then immediately click over to the thesaurus tab since I don't really look up definitions all that often. You can even click on the various words it gives you, which is great.

If you don't have a thesaurus/dictionary app, and are using just the web, I highly recommend switching over to an app. It doesn't have to be this one (though Windows users, I love this one), but you’ll be surprised how much time it saves you. If you can find an app that you can use offline like this one, it’s so beneficial if you’re out and about and need a dictionary/thesaurus.

4. The Emotion Thesaurus

Last summer @sssoto introduced me to this book, and I’m so happy she did. It’s basically this book by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi that gives you examples of physical, internal, and mental reactions associated with certain emotions. It also gives you some long-term effects and tips. I believe I got it for somewhere between 5-7 bucks. It’s an incredible investment, especially if you’re just stuck in describing a particular emotion. I love this thing so much.

As essential 4.5, I’m also going to mention an e-reader app I also downloaded (it’s free for Windows, also don't think it’s available for Mac), called Fly Reader. If you have epub files (ebooks) that you need to open on a desktop, I really recommend this one. I don't *think* Macs need this since I believe the iBooks app is on there? But I’m not quite sure. I downloaded this one for my PC so I could view this book instead of heaving to go onto my phone every time I needed it. It’s highly customizable and super convenient. (I do believe there are kindle versions of these books, though!)

5. The Urban Setting Thesaurus

@sssoto also introduced me to this book because she’s such a great friend and knows how description challenged I am. :’) I don’t use this one as often when drafting because I’m really bad at actively adding in description, but when I’m editing, I often have this book on hand. Like the emotion thesaurus, this one also has a ton of different places that could potentially be in urban settings, and lists off sights, sounds, smells, tastes, textures + sensations, possible sources of conflict, and people commonly found in the setting for various places. This is great if you’ve never been to a particular place and are having trouble finding words to connect back to pictures you’ve seen, etc, and I highly recommend it!

6. Mangoes

I seriously can’t not mention mango here. My family has a disturbingly profuse amount of mangoes in our house. And often when I write, I’ll eat a mango. I don't know why, but who needs a reason to eat mango.

I made up this little mango peeling tip that is SO awesome. I’m giving myself a pat on the back for this one because it’s so efficient and you don't waste any mango.

Honestly you’re welcome, it’s so great. From here you can cut the fruit directly, orrr eat it like a straight mango banana like I do.

If you’d like to see how many mangoes we own:

Kinda seems dumb that mango is an essential, but when is mango ever not an essential.

At this point, mangoes have their own little section in the fridge. It’s a little mango society. I call this winning.

7. Pinterest

I mean, if you’re a writer who needs a productive way to procrastinate...

I love Pinterest. I’m a visual person, so photographs are right up my alley. I draw lots of inspiration from photos, so Pinterest is great for this. Links for my boards are below.

I’M DISAPPOINTED

FOSTERED

ALANNIS

SIXTEEN CENTS

8. Reverse Dictionary

THIS is the reverse dictionary I use, and I absolutely love it. I used this quite a lot a couple of days ago, and it literally saves my soul every time I need it.

9. Music

This is a bit of a given, seeming as though I always geek on and on about music... I’m just going to insert a couple of my favourite albums here, in case you’d like to give them a shot. (If you’re wondering, my music taste centres around alternative rock, and branches into a spectrum of some indie, and then into a spectrum of punk. I’m going to order this from indie to alt rock to punk to some singer-songwriter/pop/hip-hopish AKA Ed Sheeran since he really doesn't fit into one genre exactly. So the first couple albums will be indie rock/have more indie vibes and so on.

(Ed’s the only music I listen to that isn't in the rock spectrum, to note!)

Also including two fave tracks for each album. Wish me luck in trying to only pick two.

11th Dimension by Julian Casablancas

This is actually the cover art for his solo album Phrazes For The Young but since I only have 11th Dimension off the album (just waiting for the right time to actually get this album), here it is.

So that’s my entire music library, basically.

Aside from a couple songs here and there, this is basically all I listen to. So yeah, if I only had a set amount of music to listen to, these would be my essentials.

So that’s it for this post! If I think of any other essentials, I’ll make a part two to this. I hope this was helpful to you, or at least gave you some insight on my personal writing process! Thanks for reading as always. :)

ALL THE PARTS THAT MADE ME CRY - EP. 68 EDITION

“Taako, Barry and I got this.  You gotta keep trying, babe.  I know you can do this.”  SHE CALLED HIM BAAAAAAABE listen I’m a sucker for sibling love it annihilates me every goddamn time.  also Lup’s just the best she’s so supportive and great and I love her

“You keep friends nearby, and you ask for help when you need it, Magnus.  And you won’t just be strong.  You’ll be unbeatable.” yeah bye immediately started crying ALSO THIS WHOLE MAGNUS SEQUENCE IN GENERAL WAS JUST....... SO INCREDIBLE.  the way it cut back and forth btw past and present mid-fight and Travis nailing every character beat playing Magnus brash and stubborn and hardheaded and slowly building to that realization that all he has to do is ask for help.   that that’s what strength is.  it’s not taking the big hit every time.  it’s friends.  it’s family.  did I mention I was crying.

WONDERLAND ROUND 3 CUTTING IN AS JOAQUIN STARTS WRECKING SHIT

“Everything’s gonna be okay!  I’ve got magic powers!”

Merle describing how wonderful being a dad is, because it’s 1000% also Clint talking about how wonderful being a dad is, to his real sons.  “To be responsible for a new consciousness, a new soul, and then to help that consciousness and that soul become what it’s supposed to become... it’s the best.”  like, do I have to say it?  CRYIN

“I’m not your Pan.  But you will always be my Merle.”  C R Y I N G

okay seriously though with the fucking music the second I heard the Sloane/Hurley tree song from Petals to the Metal I just fucking lost it dudes I lostttt it.  that was the first thing that ever made me cry in this story, and it fucking got me again, it hit so hard.  HE BROUGHT THEM BACK.  thank you Griffin for my life.

EXCEPT NOT BECAUSE YOU LITERALLY TOOK NOELLE AWAY TWO SECONDS LATER.  do you know how much of a wreck I was at this point.  her telling Carey not to cry and saying she’ll see them again one day and telling Magnus thanks for not ripping her arms off and Griffin bringing back the “hug-shaped robot” description again and HERO TIME BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.  bye.  bye.

I literally had to pause before the next part bc I knew it was the Taakitz reunion and it was gonna straight up murder me

spoiler alert:  it did

“I run over.  I’m already kissing him.”

KRAV TRYING TO WARM HIS FACE SO IT’S NOT TOO COLD FOR HIM THIS FUCKING ADORABLE GODDAMN DORK THAT IS THE CUTEST THING I’VE EVER HEARD ANYONE DO IN MY LIFE

Justin having Taako drop his glamour spell and just..... proving he’s the absolute best at making beyond brilliant character choices of all time.  like, I’ve said this before, I think all the boys have their strengths re: TAZ and areas they excel in more than others but JESUS CHRIST dude, Justin?  Justin is a character master.  he pulls shit out that stuns even Griffin.  GRIFFIN LITERALLY LEANED AWAY FROM HIS MIC AND COVERED HIS FACE IN SHOCK, YOU CAN HEAR IT.  “Oh, God.”

“I just wanted you to know that.  In case that changes... anything.  For you.”

AND LIKE I KNOW TAAKO TURNS IT INTO A GOOF BUT THAT’S ALSO SUCH AN INSANELY BRILLIANT TAAKO THING TO DO?????  because you know he really was worried.  deep down.  and it’s so Taako, to get these tiny glimmers of real emotion and vulnerability before he shoots his walls back up and masks it behind all that sarcasm and irreverence.  like, he puts up a front about not giving a shit about anything, but I honestly think Taako almost cares the most out of all them.  feels the most.  and that terrifies him.  which made this moment even more heartwrenching

also that “I love you, Taako” honestly did kill me R.I.P. me typing from the grave tell it to my ghost

NOT EVEN GONNA TALK ABOUT THE FOREHEAD KISS

(they’re my kryptonite.  they’re my ULTIMATE WEAKNESS GRIFFIN YOU’RE RUUUUUUUDE)

AND THEN HE WANTED HIM TO MEET LUP BEFORE HE LEFT STOP ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I

am crying

the purple worm music.  actually I’m just gonna go ahead and say that every musical callback made me cry.  every one.

“Saw my boyfriend.”  (I’m never shutting up about this)

THE FUTURE VISIONS.  ALL OF THEM.  LUP AND TAAKO LAUGHING TOGETHER IN A KITCHEN.  MAGNUS AT A PARK WITH ANGUS AND A DOGGO.  MERLE WITH HIS KIDS AT THE BEACH.  CAREY AND KILLIAN CURLED UP ON A COUCH TOGETHER READING FROM THE SAME BOOK (SHUT UPPPP).  LUCRETIA OVERSEEING A LIBRARY BEING BUILT.  

hope.  hope hope hope hope hope.

“I don’t expect you all to forgive me, but--” “I run over and hug her.”  “She is just... she just starts weeping.”

BYE

BYEEEEEEEEEEEEE

LUCRETIA GETTING HUGGED WAS ALL I’VE EVER WANTED GUESS WHO’S WEEPING TOO

also Taako refusing to join them was brilliant.  I’m not kidding, Justin’s so good at this shit.  it makes complete sense for him to do that.  to not be ready for forgiveness.  he might never be.  (I’m pulling for a hug in the last ep tho C’MON TAAKO YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN YOU WANT TO)

“Am I... I’m not gonna lose you again.”  “Never.  Never again, bud.”

MAGNUS GIVING ANGUS HIS KNIFE

TAAKO TRYING TO ONE-UP HIM BY GIVING HIM THE SHERIFF’S BADGE

THEY’RE LITERALLY FIGHTING OVER ANGUS THIS IS THE HAPPIEST I’VE EVER BEEN

“Hear that, babe?  We’re legends.”

never mind, that’s the happiest I’ve ever been

the music.  the Starblaster “for the first time flying into, not away from, the storm.”  the MUSIC.  Griffin breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to us.  Johann’s song granting everyone, in every plane, inspiration.

“You’re going to have to fight.  And you’re gonna win.”

You’re gonna win.

and I’m

going to cry

let’s go save the world

bye ... i’m truly done taking up muses ... these are short n poorly written but i did them ! i’ll eventually add more information on everyone when i finally get around to finishing muse pages but honestly ? this is all u need to know for now. again, if u wanna plot, just hmu :P a few mentions of drugs n alcoholism but nothing descriptive. here’s percy, zach, ajay, luke, bunny, paris & luma ! (i’ve added gwen, helena n gia too just so they’re all in one place bc i’m lazy)

FINN COLE, CIS MALE, HE/HIM — have you met perseus sage nichols yet ? the twenty-two year old is known for being both astute and jocular, but also very obstreperous and arrogant. born in melbourne, percy now lives in kensington, working as a junior management consultant.  comes from a nice family that he will always be pissed off at for very little reason. has beef w his dad for not providing even tho he really did, it was just never enough for percy. is exactly the type of dude that got mad when leo didn’t win the oscar for wolf. just wanted to be dumb rich n coked out. v smart and got an international scholarship at a good university, by the time he got kicked out for being a rowdy asshole, he’d helped his friends develop some legit apps (the most successful one being a dating app which two yrs later is really just a meme) and they suddenly had a lot of money, he just bought his way back in. bc he was in charge of the business side of things, it was easy enough for him to screw over his friends n walk away w most of what was left when their success went down the drain. got a job as a management consultant at a big, scary firm in london mostly thanks 2 his reputation. is a known ugly n ruthless n desperate to be at the top n live in disgusting luxury. can’t talk to his family or old pals without Wanting To Die bc he’s so committed to this new life he’s created for himself. is literally awful if he doesn’t like u, still awful just in a less hurtful n more annoying way if he does. doesn’t know when to stop. always forgetting n probably trying to hide the fact that he’s not a trust fund baby like all the people he hangs with now. literally just clyde oberholt ?

JAMIE BLACKLEY, CIS MALE, HE/HIM — have you met zachary vaughn baltazar yet ? the twenty-five year old is known for being both unostentatious and sincere, but also very self-deprecating and uncouth. born in berlin, zach now lives in southwark, working as a telemarketer. the nice guy who is always getting rekt (he wrecking himself lbr) is Um .. a v talented writer but is happy just shitting on his work n never exploring his potential bc why bother when he has the ideal amount of friends n weed atm right ? given up and is convinced he is satisfied, will accept any invitation. still won’t let you live tho. has opinions on ur choices and will probably share them behind ur back. somehow feels underappreciated by everyone even tho he truly believes there is nothing to appreciate. omg have a cry and grow up. king of impressive first dates n writes rlly romantic poetry but is either ghosting or getting ghosted the following week bc he is dry and confused. doesn’t know if this is really what he wants/doesn’t feel like he deserves what he wants. close with his family but tries to force more n more distance bc he can’t stand their #drama... or any drama that doesn’t give him an edge Actual Of Ly. the ders of the squad probably.

RAHUL KOHLI, CIS MALE, HE/HIM — have you met ajay charles johal yet ? the thirty year old is known for being both urbane and jovial, but also very restless and quixotic. born in chennai, ajay now lives in newham, as an airline pilot. moved to london w his parents when he was v young, spent all of his teenage yrs feeling guilty for no reason just like watching all his parents did for him to be happy n healthy ? never got over the guilt. is just a v feeling person ig ! anyways he was so committed to helping his parents out, which was rlly truly the only thing he’s ever committed to in his life. needed enough money to support all three of them but rlly had no idea how to go about it. pilot was just one of the ideas handed to him back in high school n he went with it bc he knew he’s never actually settle on anything. turned out ok bc he likes being able 2 actually get the entire hell away from his problems. a v flighty person (aha... classic) and doesn’t have many close relationships bc of it. v respected ... v respectful ... quality lad but can be a lil immature under it all. wish he’d stop feeling bad just bc he has GOOD parents.
