#i've been very hesitant to write about my video game ocs in the past

[capricornyc]

how did you get here? - I watched both JackSepticEye and Markiplier play FNAF Security Breach and the boys just caught my attention.

why these characters in particular? what was the hook for you? - Honestly? I'm not sure, but I think it's the fact that there's so little canon content that we can mold them however we like, aka there's basically no 'wrong' characterization.

how long have you been here? - Since about 2 months after the game came out, so around 2.5 years

have you actually played fnaf sb? - Sadly no, my laptop is far too weak, and I haven't had the money to buy it for the switch yet. (plus I'm terrible at video games so I doubt I'll play it much once I do get it lol)

if you make content, what's your favorite piece you've contributed? - Probably the first fic I wrote (for this fandom), Violence begets Rage, begets Vengeance. I desperately wanna write the second chapter, but have been lacking inspiration.

what's your favorite sort of art or fic? what genre/flavor/style? - I mean... the main content I consume is all spicy, so I guess as long as the characters bone at least a little bit, I'm in XD

what's your favorite au? - Ooooh, that's a tough one. I genuinely don't think I have a fave, but Mafia is definitely up there, same with Mers, Nagas, and A/B/O.

do you have any ocs, or have any ocs you're fond of? - I do! My baby Star is definitely my favorite, though Nightshade is also fun.

what do you think of the dca's canon appearance? Scary? Cute? Something else? - They're a little creepy and their proportions are completely ridiculous, but I still love them.

what keeps you in this fandom despite the very small amount of canon content the dca had? - All the fan content, plus the Sun and Moon Show constantly putting out new stuff. I've definitely shifted more towards TSAMS and away from classic DCA, mostly because there's always new content.

be honest: if you had to pick only one, sun or moon? - Moon. Without hesitation. I adore Sun, but Moon is and always has been my favorite.

thoughts on eclipse? - I love him. Both the canon and fanon versions. In Ruin he's absolutely precious and I'd love to see more of him.

thoughts on pre-glitch sun? - Because we're given so little info on the boys, I can't really give a specific answer. I love all the different possible versions; anxious and neglected, sweet, soft and well adjusted, rude and overbearing, etc.

thoughts on pre-glitch moon? - Same thing for Moon. I've seen such a wide variety of ways he might have acted, and I love all of them. Gremlin, soft and sweet, calm, angry, reclusive, popular, etc.

do you interpret sun and moon as two sides of the same person, or truly two separate beings in one body? does it matter? - I've always seen them as two separate people, rather than like, different personalities of the same person. Just makes more sense to me.

what's something in the fandom you'd like to see more of? - A/B/O. There's a very small amount of it and I'm feral for more.

what's something in the fandom you'd like to see less of? Human designs/AUs. I think some people are really creative and make beautiful designs, but I personally just can't see them as Sun and Moon if they're human.

anything you're looking forward to? - More fics, and continuations of the fics I'm reading!

do you think you'd actually get along with the dca if you met them irl? - Maybe? I like to hope so lol.

free space! talk about whatever's on your mind! - I desperately want to make more content for this fandom and I'm really hoping I'll be able to. Artblock/writers block have just been a major issue for me, but hopefully I can push past them.

alright dca fandom, here's some questions bc i'm curious. the funky jesters make our brains go brr, but why? treat it as an ask game or answer in the tags if you feel like it! :)

Hiya! I was debating on whether or not to ask you this, considering that you're probably busy with valentine and other matchup asks, but here it goes. I was wondering if you can match me up with a AOT male, taller then me (I'm 5'5 lol). If that's possible? Here I go-(I'm sorry if this is long!)

✨I have blue/greenish eyes, and red dyed hair (I put this last, idk know why-)

✨I'm an aquarius and honestly, I truly live up to my sign. I'm a Ambivert cause even though I love hanging out with my friends and get along with them, there are times where I just need to get out and be alone for a bit and just let out everything in me.

✨for my personality, I got a turbulent advocate, INFJ-T (I don't know if that helps-) I'm usually quiet and shy around new people, and keep to myself around them unless they come over and talk to me, or I hear them say something that is an interest of mine then I can break out of my shell and start talking.

✨After speaking up to a person and getting to know them better, I'm a very bubbly person, I try to be kind by treating people the way I want to be treated and only rarely am I angry unless someone really press my buttons. I also use humor to cope with, pretty much everything, and I always try my hardest to make someone laugh, because whenever I hear someone laugh, my heart melts because of it. Idk why it just does.

✨considering my height, and my weight, I'm a chubby girl, thick thighs and all. It took me a long time to love myself and try to accept myself for who I am, since I was bullied quite a bit during my childhood for my weight and other things. However, even though Im starting to love myself, there are times where I become insecure but I usually keep it to myself unless someone makes me blurt it out.

✨speaking of insecure, I have really bad anxiety. Whenever I'm under pressure during a situation I have no idea how to fix, I start to pick at my skin, usually digging my nails into my skin to the point it draws blood. And whenever I'm around a lot of people, like at a store for example, I always feel like their eyes are on me which makes me feel very insecure and I keep my arms around my stomach to try to keep my nerves down. Whenever I feel my anxiety rise, my body start to twitch, especially my hands, so in order to calm it down I start to sketch out a drawing or listen to music to help me calm.

✨I was mentally and physically abused as a child so it takes me a while before I can truly open to someone. I always feel like I'm a burden to people when I speak out about my problems or my feelings, so I tend to keep them to myself. However, there are times where I just can't keep it in anymore, so I just let it all out to someone by either crying or speaking at high speed (pretty much gibberish) and tug really hard at my hair. Because of this, I love it when someone understands me or, even if they don't know what I've exactly been through, they're still there to help and support me no matter what.

✨I usually don't use words or describe my emotions in these types of situations, so I express it to my partner by actions. Such as hugging them tight, or crying in their shoulders. Because I'm always worried I'll say the wrong thing to someone. And whenever I do say something wrong, I apologise to them, but it still lingers in my head for a while before I can come to terms with it.

✨In many situations, I try to use my brain before acting out, but there are times where my emotions get the best of me.

✨I have an immense fear that I'll be forgotten by the people I love, or I lose someone close to me. It didn't bother me back then, but now it's become a big fear of mine.

✨ANYWAY- aside from the "that" stuff, I get really flustered whenever someone compliments me, or even remotely flirts with me. Sure, I flirt back or compliment to someone as well (even if it's cheesy sometimes-) but when it's directed to me, I blush SO hard and smile because Ive never been complimented a lot during my past, so I take compliments to heart a lot of the time.

✨My hobbies are Drawing/Painting, Reading, Writing, Video games, and Hanging out with my friends.

✨Drawing has always been my favorite hobby as long as I can remember. Through out the years, my art style has gotten better, even though I still don't have an officially art style for myself. I especially love to draw or sketch out the people I love, ocs, animals, and mythical creatures. Mostly dragons/wyverns since I've always been entranced by mythology and mythical creatures. Drawing, or sketching in general has helped me a lot with expressing my emotions and my creativity on paper.

✨Animation has always been my biggest aspiration and I'm currently saving up money so I can study in animation.

Anyways, I think imma stop my matchup ask here so I hope all of this information about me helps! Again, I'm sorry if I'm bothering you with this matchup!

Hi Onyx!!!! You are NEVER bothering me!!! Thank you for sending in such a detailed bio for me! I just wanted to say, a lot of how you describe yourself sounds like me! Maybe its a fellow Aquarius thing? You are so so brave to be able to share so much about yourself with me, and I am so very thankful you felt safe to do so! <3 rooting for you and here for you if you need an ear, or shoulder. 

Alright, now. I have excluded Levi, Armin, and Connie because I believe those are the ones that are shorter than 5′5. 

I think the single thing that made me choose who I did for you was your love for art! I would match you up with....

Jean! 

We saw how much of an artist Jean was, and honestly that part stuck with me. 

Jean would be a good match for an ambivert such as yourself because I feel like he is a good balance of quiet contemplation and keeping to himself mixed with a very particular personality that can lean towards outgoing and sarcastic. 

I feel like Jean would be very respectful of what you wanted, and in time, would get more perceptive towards your needs. Did you agree to go out with your friends but as the day drew closer seemed a little hesitant about going out? He would be willing to be your scapegoat, telling your friends that he had something come up and you couldnt hang out anymore, or that there was some sort of leak or issue he caused and he needed you to stay behind to help with it. Essentially, he would be partner and that friend you call to bail you out of unfortunate situations all rolled up into one! 

At first, Jean would be the one who prompts you to talk and share more about yourself, but over time, as you grow more comfortable with him, you’d be the one dominating conversations, and he'd be absolutely fine with it! Just listening to you talk with an occasional hum or comment. 

Jean I think would be a mixture of actions and words. He is a little more vocal about sharing his emotions, but not by much. Hes mostly in his head with things and can come off as a little cold, but if you knew how he communicated his love, it would be obvious how much he cares. He does the little, mundane things to make life easier for you rather than profess his feelings all the time. When he notices how you cope with stressful environments, he'd be a great help. He'd gently take your hands and help you unfurl your clenched fist, or lacing your fingers with his to prevent you from picking at em. He would be that rock you need at the store, ushering you into a quiet aisle with an arm around your shoulder, making sure you're okay before resuming the shopping trip, planning out the optimal routes to take in order to minimize time spent in the store. 

The two of you would rarely get into arguments, mainly due to the fact that he could never really argue with you, also, you are just...never really angry. He would know better than to push your buttons or pick a fight so its usually pretty smooth sailing. 

You and jean’s everyday talk would be cute to listen to, him taking every opportunity to flirt or throw in a cheesy pickup line to make you smile. “good morning! its a beautiful day!”

“morning! You’re right. Gorgeous.” and hes looking straight at you and not at the blue skies smh 

Jean might be a little embarrassed or self conscious about his art, but would love to watch you sketch. He would go along with you to the park, or just out to explore new spots, sitting beside you quietly, sometimes laying his head in your lap as you sketch. That would be his ideal lazy afternoon. 

Overall, you two would be super cute! Everyone thinks so, but most importantly, the two of you would support each other, each helping the other grow in the best ways! 

Valentines Day Event

Okay, I think I might try this in September. Because a) I need to get my writing muscles limbered up again, and b) I have a new potential WoL who has some vague stories in my head that I’d love to flesh out. 

.... which means it’s also about time to start running her through the revamped ARR to make some notes about her reactions to things!

That’s right, folks - YEAR 4 of our annual FFxiv 30 Day Writing Challenge begins on Tuesday, September 1st at 12:00pm PST!

Need a warm-up? Here are some short weekly prompts to get the writing gears in motion:

I challenge you to keep your responses short while writing to these weekly warm-up prompts. Why? Because they’re just warm-ups - a moment for your creative brain to stretch a little before running the marathon.

And, I want you to practice writing short because if, during the Challenge in September, you start feeling creatively exhausted from this marathon, you’ll be able to think back to how short your responses to these warm-ups were and it may encourage you to submit something super short so that you meet your goal of writing every day without overtaxing yourself. I mean it when I say that short and sweet entries count. ❤️ I will accept single sentence entries!

See if you can do one of these warm-ups each week leading up to the Challenge. If you want to repeat one or two of them multiple times, go for it! Whatever you need for your creative brain to feel good and ready.

I won’t be tracking responses to these warm-ups. They’re purely for your benefit. Use the hashtag #FFxivWrite2020 warm-up if you’d like.

Write a haiku about your character

Write about your character’s facial expression (10 sentences max)

Write a limerick about your character
