she's bullying me

Hello! Could i get a bg3 matchup?

 I go by she/her and don’t have a gender preference. 

As for personality I am quite introverted and tend to love just chilling in my room. I do however open up around close friends and family where I can be loud, especially when talking about my interests.

As for hobbies I love digital art. I love digital illustration, making character models/art for game design, web design, graphics, and more. I love playing rpg video games, visual novels, otomes etc. I also love reading fantasy, classical literature, myths and folklore. As much as i enjoy spending time in my room with my hobbies, one of my favorite things to do is travel the world. I also love to bellydance to Arabic and Bollywood music. 

Likes: lil coffee shops, earl grey tea, chai, sushi, boba, purple, chokers, butterfly clips, people who value personal space

Dislikes: overly touchy people, suddenly deciding to switch plans, anything too crowded or loud

Id say my strengths are definitely my imagination and creativity. I tend to get lost in my head in made up worlds and use that for my art. Id also say that im quite good at being on top of things and will always finish all my work before play. 

For weaknesses its my pessimism. I get into ruts where sometimes all I see is a doom scenario. 

 Thats it! Thank You! 

Hi Danza, thank you for the request! Bellydancing sounds like such a fun, interesting hobby ! I had a friend who did some form of belly dancing before, too.

Taking into account you don't have a gender preference. I did some thinking on this one, and I decided to pair you wiiiith...

Karlach!

Now, hear me out. You say that you are mostly introverted, but you find it easier to open up when you're around loved ones - namely when you feel comfortable enough to talk about your interests.

Karlach as we know her is of course, the rambunctious, loud, cinnamon roll with the mouth of a truck driver - she's also very loveable and excitable, kind of like...almost puppy-behavior. In that same regard, she's fiercely loyal - so, Karlach is definitely dog-coded.

I think the two of you would make a good pair because personally I'm a sucker for those couples who balance the other out. You're quiet, she's not - you're introverted, she's not - but while you do have differences, you do have similarities.

If you're in a situation you don't entirely want to be in (i.e. the kind you just want to hole yourself up in your room), never fear, as Karlach will either help to physically remove you from the situation (whether it's coming up with a perfectly goofy excuse like, "Ah fuck. We left the uh...fireplace... on fire." Or, literally picking you up and physically removing you from said situation, literally (whichever your preference is, but I don't think so given you're not fond on touch). The two of you would probably have a "signal" or secret code word of some sort that you give each other for scenarios like this.

Either way, you can count on her to do all the talking so you don't have to, if that's what you'd prefer.

Regarding your weakness with pessimistic tendencies and thoughts, Karlach is an excellent comforter. If motivational words aren't really your thing (which she's great at. Maybe not the most eloquent but who cares? The girl can give a good fuckin' speech), she has plenty else to offer. Whether it's telling you stories or jokes to get you out of the rut, or offering the best hug you've ever received, she will be very empathetic to you during those times. She's there for you, even if you aren't in the mood to talk. Just don't shut her out completely, and she'll be there for you when you're ready.

With your hobbies, Karlach is your #1 listener. Whether you have a new idea for an art piece based off of something you'd conjured from your imagination and no one to share it with, welp, now you do - Karlach loves hearing what you have to say, and the best part: she listens. Not only that but I see her as more of a "visual" person so she would love to offer her own ideas if you're struggling putting something on paper. She gives a lot of, "What about this? How about trying this color?" suggestions to try and assist you.

Sort of the same when it comes to the books you read. I feel like she actually WOULDN'T be a big reader until she asks you about whatever you're reading at the time, and then she decides to give it a shot. Seeing as how you love it so much and it seems so important to you of course, naturally, she wants to at least attempt to read. Pretty soon you've created a monster, and she's throwing in some big words in between swears.

All that aside, I definitely see her as one who wants to travel the world with you, too. Making memories together and finding some silly souvenirs are great, but the best part of any trip is having spent more time together with you.

A relationship with her would be long, sweet, and caring.

Weird Questions for Writers Ask!

Please answer 8, 10, and 20.

Ooo thank you very much @strangersteddierthings 😊

8. If you had to write an entire story without either Action or Dialogue, which would you choose, and how would it go?

Hmm I'm not a very action heavy writer to be honest, I have attempted it in the past when I wrote Marvel fics but it always took a lot out of me and I would agonize over these scenes again and again, it's not an Achilles heel but it's damn close.

I love dialogue, I think that would be what I would choose to keep because there are so many layers you can build into a story with the literal text and subtext of what characters are saying, thinking, and what goes unsaid. Plus it's a neat challenge when you're writing multiple characters to accurately find their voice. As for how it would go? I don't think the way I write would change very much! I do try to focus on the inter personal aspects that are sometimes missed or unexplored by the showrunners.

10. Has a piece of writing ever "haunted" you? Has your own writing ever "haunted" you? What does that mean to you?

I remember once when I was younger, maybe around 10 or 11, I read a book that took place during WW2 about a young girl who discovered that she had clairvoyant powers (pretty sure she was named Cassandra, go figure). When she read a letter from her brother who had been drafted, and had been keeping in fairly regular contact up to a point, the letter continued from the end in her brother's voice, "I must go, I am dead, and I must go now".

That shook me up for a long time.

OH ALSO WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS, I was a sobbing mess in the middle of class in the 7th grade after reading that, LITTLE ANNE AND OLD DAN!?!?

I think books can haunt you in the sense that the pieces that you had a visceral reaction to stick with you, maybe you look to influence your own readers in similar ways, getting similar reactions, maybe certain allusions are always recycled into your own work as tribute. Books stick with you in the most interesting ways!

20. If a witch offered you the choice between eternal happiness with your one true love and the chance to finally finish, perfect, and publish your dearest, darlingest, most precious WIP in the way that you've always imagined it --which would you choose? You can't have both, life's a bitch, sorry.

Ha! This is such a good question! And I probably have a different answer that what would be expected? I dont think you will ever truly have a perfect piece of writing, there is always something that you might look back on in that old completed or abandoned WIP and think to yourself, 'damn, I wish I had added this, or changed this,' and that's okay!

The whole thing with writing is that you get better with every piece you create, you learn what things work and what things don't. So I don't think I would choose the perfect WIP because what would I learn from that?

Now I do already have a true love and we have been finding our happily ever after since 2011 but I'm not going to let some monkeys paw witch wish screw that up for me!

(Can you imagine the ironic consequences? No thank you!)

Thank you so much for sending these! I hope you enjoy my thoughts!
