#motti was excited for new friends

[mothiepixie]

Hmmm, how would either Dream or Nightmare react to your version of Motti who's a goddess? I'm imagining her with Dream and the positivity from them both might be overwhelming lol

they all would be super ecstatic! (and the bois thinking that Goddess Motti has immortality which makes them extremely happy)

HOWEVER- Reaper gonna shut them down real fast.

i was tagged by @lgbtqiauthor​! thank you!!! i’m excited for this!! and i’ll tag @writings-of-a-narwhal​ and @a-place-of-babble​!

 1: Describe the plot in one sentence

Two worlds, two queens, and an endless loop; at every turn, a new secret is revealed, a new lie discovered and...a new threat to everything that those who live in Fara hold dear - to think, it’s up to four broken boys to fix it all!

2: Pick one sight, smell, sound, feel, and taste to describe the aesthetic for your WIP.

Sight: someone smiling. a smile before they die, a smile as they go into battle, a smile as they welcome you home, the first smile after years spent fighting and the last smile after years spent ignoring the truth. 

Smell: the sickening sweetness of sugar, cotton candy melting in the noon day sun, hot cocoa in a mug, honey spilled on the floor, sugar water dumped onto a keyboard with too much purpose.

Sound: screaming. the scream of your name from the other side of a battle field, the scream of humboars as they race through the forest, your best friend screaming out your name you’re screaming their name the whole world is screaming in something that isn’t quite agony.

Feel: static that courses through your bones, your skins, pulses over your chest revealing every last secret, every last lie and ache and hurt.

Taste: blood on your tongue and the spark of electricity in your throat and grit between your teeth

3: Which 3+ songs would make a playlist for your novel?

a. drown by seafret

b. fight by all good things

c. we fight by dashboard confessional

4: What’s the time period and location in which your novel takes place?

it’s set in a fantasy style rpg world, but there’s a healthy dose of machinery in the labs. while radios are commonplace in the average household, computer screens are only ever seen in the lab, where they research coding. outside of that, it’s carriages and things that you might find in a game like Legend of Zelda.

5: Are there any former titles you’ve considered but discarded?

nope! i came up with the title right after coming up with the premise!

6: What’s the first line of your novel?

Blue hits the ground, hard.

7: What’s a line of dialogue you’re particularly proud of?

(this one took the longest, because i love a lot of my lines!)

Bolte staggers, chest heaving. there’s blood and mana dripping from the corners of his mouth, shattered bone armor half crushed into his skin. there are people screaming, shouting, the sound of a mana canon going off - the crack of it slamming into brick and then dust and coding, it’s in his lungs, his mouth, but he lets magic gather in his hand anyways, the heat of a flame surging over skin.

takes one step and then another and just

doesn’t

stop

8: Which line from the novel most represents it as a whole?

Living has come at a lot of cost.

9: Who are your character(s) face claims?

no face claims! unfortunately! 

10: Sort your characters into Hogwarts houses

Bolte - Gryffindor

Red - Hufflepuff

Locke - Slytherin

Blue - Ravenclaw

Midnight - Ravenclaw

Captain - Gryffindor

Celeste - Slytherin

Motti - Hufflepuff

11: Which character’s name do you like the most?

nnnn i love everything about Locke’s name oops

12: Describe each character’s daily outfit

Bolte - black tank tops and worn boots, with a red scarf that means the world to him and then some

Red - a heavy jacket and a white mask, Bolte’s dog tags tucked into the front of his shirt

Blue - brightly colored sweatshirts and mismatched socks, with magnetic glasses that hang around his neck

Locke - red vests and well fitting trousers and freshly shined black boots

Captain - anything that hasn’t already been shredded in battle (she wants to wear sundresses)

13: Do any characters have any distinctive birthmarks/scars?

Red and Bolte are covered in scars, marks of their hard life in Fara Falls. there is a vicious one that cuts across Red’s side and another that curls out from under his hair, though it’s usually kept hidden behind a mask. Bolte has a scar over his left eye and a vicious, old wound on one hip, one knee. smaller ones that lace over their bodies.

Locke has burn scars on his hands, some more fresh than others.

Red and Blue both have vitiligo.

14: Which character most fits a character trope?

everyone fits “found family”??? i’m not well versed in the names for tropes! Midnight fits “evil queen” and Bolte is a “tough guy with a heart of gold”!

15: Which character is the best writer? Worst?

Midnight is a born story teller, through and through. her entire ruling is based off of a story that she’s woven.

Locke would be the worst writer, because he wants everyone to have a happy ending

16: Which character is the best liar? Worst?

fun fact: everyone in Groundhog Day is lying about something! they’re all incredible liars. but...Locke might be hiding more than any of the others.

17: Which character swears the most? Least?

Captain swears like it’s what keeps her alive, and Locke has never cursed in his entire life.

18: Which character has the best writing? Worst?

Locke and Bolte both have dyslexia, and their hand writing is very, very bad. Midnight has the best handwriting, these looping curves.

19: Which character is the most like you? Least like you?

uhhhh i think that i might be most like Locke because i’m a problem solver, but this question is incredibly hard because i tend to put pieces of myself into every character that i write. least like me is probably Blue, because he’s just!!! so smart!!!

20: Which character would you most like to be?

i want to be more like Bolte. so much determination and strength! he doesn’t care what anyone thinks, as long as he’s able to keep those he loves safe!
