#my spelling in handwriting is atrocious lmao

[demenior]

Handwriting! Handwriting! Handwriting!

Handwriting!!

My personal writing style is a holdover from taking notes and so I often have symbols for a lot of words too as to cut down the letters I have to write ("and" is usually a + sign, "therefore" is the triangle in dots, etc) I don't write "i"s and instead just add the dots in (again, time saver).

You can see how the lowest left is a mix of the two and how I will write if I'm not really thinking. Best way to interpret my writing is "what is the general shape of this word" and match it like that bc I usually only hit the first and last letters accurately, and everything else in the middle is anybody's game if it makes it to the final word or not

Weird Writer Asks 😋❤️

1, 2, 13, 18

Thank you for the ask 💛

1. What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is that just the default setting?

Times New Roman. I can't physically write in any other font, it pains me, lmao.

2. If you had to give up your keyboard and write your stories exclusively by hand, could you do it? If you already write everything by hand, a) are you a wizard and b) pen or pencil?

I mean, I would do it because—hypothetically—I had no choice, but I'd suck at it, lol. I don't know how people write by hand, it's absolute magic to me. My handwriting is atrocious and my spelling isn't much better, so I think I'd end up giving up.

13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?

Tbh, I will write pretty much anything. I do have my preferences, but I'll try most things once. If I have to choose though, I do struggle with writing m/f. I won't go into detail, but it's something that I really, really have to have spoons for.

On the flip side, I could probably write monsterfucking as easy as breathing, lol. Or anything with a predator/prey vibe.

18. Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end. Spicy addition: Questioner provides the passage.

This is from my ficlet Love Is The Music:

“Shhh,” he whispers as he hooks the boy’s long legs over his shoulders. He kisses his way down from Stiles’s chest, lower and lower, relishing in how each muscle trembles under his lips. He stops at the trail of hair below his navel and rests his forehead against Stiles's belly, exhaling deeply—his own body shivering with it. “You have no idea what you mean to me.”

So, they've been dating for a while, but Peter is very reserved about his feelings and hasn't said "I love you" and probably won't be able to for a while, but that doesn’t mean it's not true. He loves Stiles with all his heart and this is his declaration. I did have it originally that he said the words outright, but it just didn't fit—and wasn't the vibe I was going for with Peter here. I also took inspiration for this whole story for Pretty Woman, I ADORE the piano scene, and I wanted to recreate it vaguely into Steter.

I kinda love this little ficlet, I feel like it says a lot in so few words. Idk.

Weird Questions for Writers

[six-of-ravens]

do 6, 35, and 36 for those writer questions

heyyyy gurl

6. What’s your biggest strength as a writer?

Uhhhhh I can do settings pretty good i think, and i really like planning characters’ apartments/homes, where they live, what kind of shit they have etc etc. I feel like you can tell a lot from a character by their living space and also it’s a good jumping off point for more character traits when doing character building. Why does the character live there? What kind of job(s) do they have to afford it? Who do they share the space with? What kind of stuff is there by choice vs. by necessity? etc etc etc.

35. What is the worst writing advice you’ve ever heard?

This is hard cause I stopped reading writing advice that’s not from like, published authors I admire and specifically V. E. Schwab a while ago, but I hate it whenever someone gives hard advice to not do a thing: prologues, adverbs, “said,” tropes, etc. They can all work well if you know the context in which to use them, and just telling people that they’re always bad is really unhelpful.

36. Do you prefer pens or pencils?

PENS, I started collecting some fancy-schmancy ones recently (not super fancy, but like they cost $2 each and they’re pretty) and i feel real cool using them lol. The only downside is my spelling when writing by hand is atrocious and i can’t erase lmao. also since i have serial killer handwriting and switch between normal, all caps, and cursive depending on how my hand decides to form the letter, my writing is often indecipherable lmao

[kosmokhaos]

1-20 for three sims of your choice. 83

EDIT: Ok I just noticed the questionnaire isn’t actually 20 questions long. Its only 17 lol. It literally skips 3 numbers at 13 and jumps to 17 at the next question and number 20 is asking a question yourself lmao

I’m adding Trinity to this list of 3 ^_^ 

Sims Asks

Trinity Jo

1. Trinity is 18 going on 19

2. No middle name but she does have one of those Southern “double first names” so the “Jo” after Trinity stands for Josefine. 

3. Black or dark colored tops (usually with some kind of hood or scarf) and bottoms/jeans with some kinda sneakers or boots. She usually goes for form fitting clothing but not because she thinks its sexy its becasue she hates “flowy loose shit” that gets in the way when she’s fighting/running/whipping out a weapon. 

4. Trinity has several full blooded demon siblings who either dislike her for being half human, want her dead for being half human or just like to fuck something up of her’s for kicks because that’s just what demonic siblings do :D

5. ….I really need to think of birthdays for my sims lmao But I was leaning toward Sagittarius for her..maybe??

6. Trinity didn’t stay in school for very long and she started late she made it to about middle school before dropping out. Her favorite subject was gym/recess and surprisingly she liked history lessons but she hated everything else lol.

7. Her favorite is the movie Blade starring Wesley Snipes xD But she likes anything with supernatural beings/creature features with action and adventure. Bonus points for gore and blood.

8. Trinity’s latest google search: “Can you break your dick?”

9. Trinity is inspired by people who let their actions speak louder than their words. If Alucard from the Hellsing Abridged Series was real, He would be Trinity’s role model.

10. Favorite book? Trinity!??? HAHAHAHAHAHA ! Any book heavy enough to break someone’s face when she throws it at them is her favorite kind of book lmao

11. Motorcycles, fast cars…and weapons. Guns especially. Anything that makes a big bang is her hobby. Explosions??? Yup. Sharp blades? Yup. Canons? Oh yes. Bitches love canons.

12. I don’t watch or read Harry Potter so idk.

13. I’m not sure how one does the enneagram thing but if anyone can explain it I can maybe choose something.

17. Trinity usually likes all foods as long as its savory and filling. As a half-demon she has a very high metabolism so she eats a lot very frequently. Since she and the Reaper currently reside near the New Mexican/Arizona desert(s) border. They frequent the diners and pizza joints there a lot. Trinity likes the burgers and pizza…as long as it doesn’t have pineapple on it. Pineapple pizza is a sin even for a half-demon.

18. Coffee? Ehhh she’ll drink it occasionally. Tea? Well she’s originally from Louisiana so she likes her southern sweet teas. Cocoa? Yup. Its sweet and warm when its cold out.

19. Trinity’s handwriting is…pretty bad. She doesn’t spell, write or read very well because she was taught to read and write very late into her childhood so that means her punctuation and grammar are usually atrocious. She doesn’t even care so long as her point gets across but Reaper has been gradually getting her to use better grammar and punctuation when writing over time. She writes how she speaks so that means…curse words and slang with a Southern Louisiana drawl in person.

20. Since there’s no original ask here’s a Random Fact: Trinity’s hair length changes so frequently because it grows very fast. If she were to buzz it all off, it’d get back to its current neck/ear length in like a month or two.

D Santana

1. D is pretty old. He doesn’t remember his exact age but he is at least half a millennia. So about 500 years or more.

2. Nope lol He’s very secretive about what his actual name is. He’s had it legally changed it to “D” but if someone asks what it stands for he gives them the name Diego.

3. Almost exclusively Black or similarly dark colors. He’s known for looking like a “modern cowboy” sort of look. That means the black boots and the big black hat with a vest and t-shirt. But he also can go more casual street style with just jogging pants and a T-Shirt with house shoes (at home). He wears the most clothing during the day, of course and usually at night (or at home) you can catch him working topless/sleeveless at his shop.

4. He did have siblings as human. As for vampire siblings, he considers the crew that works at his shop as his nestmates of sorts and therefore they call one another “brother” and “sister”. He also has a lovingly hateful friendship with TrinityJo and The Reaper.

5. ….again with the birthdays that I haven’t given XD Then again I have excuse since D is an older vampire.

6. N/A

7. His favorite movies are “F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu” (because he finds it amusing) and “¡Vamonos con Pancho Villa!”

8. D’s Last Google Search: “EL1016‑SS: Classic Tube Brake Lines“

9. D is rarely inspired by anyone or anything but he does find people with lots of tenacity and will to never give up can coax him to do things he normally wouldn’t. Which is why he usually tolerates Trinity’s obnoxiousness.

10. He doesn’t read much but he does like TV lol Usually old cowboy shows. He watches “Bat Masterson” and yes he’ll watch the old “Zoro” series sometimes too.

11. D’s hobbies include: tattooing/body art, leatherwork, vintage cars (something he and Trinity “bond” over), supernatural inkwork and bonding.

12. I don’t watch/read Harry Potter lol

13. I’m not sure how one does the enneagram thing but if anyone can explain it I can maybe choose something.

17. D’s “food” is blood but he does consume alcohol because he likes the taste and drinking a lot enough might give him a slight buzz for a while. His favorite blood type is B Negative.

18. Coffee? Tea? Cocoa?? Do you mean TEAquila

19. D has terribly sloppy handwriting. But its slop in those “What the hell does this actually say?” kinda ways and not one of those “Are these actual letters of the alphabet?” kinda ways lol

20. Since there’s no original ask here’s a Random Fact: Sometimes he forgets to English and will start speaking his Native tongue (Nahuatl) or Spanish.

The First Son (Osiris)

1. Osiris is very old. Created before humans. But his “human age” is 29.

2.  No middle name lol

3. Osiris has a very formal, clean style. He’s a businessman so you usually catch him in a very clean and precise cut suit and tie his casual wear is “business casual” meaning he’ll do button ups and comfortable slacks and if he doesn’t have a suit jacket of some sort he usually has a vest on. He keeps his hair in a close-cut ceasar style or a fade. He might wear glasses or something but he’s presumed by humans to be blind.

4. “The Second Son” is currently his only known sibling.

5. (Finally a sim with a presumed birthday XD) Osiris is a Capricorn, “born” on January 7th 1988 for human records. From what I see about Capricorns, it seems to fit him. Ambitious, intelligent and calculating, Osiris is very well organized and disciplined. He is reserved and patient and extremely hard-working but can be very cold, brutal and unforgiving when angered. He’s also something of a perfectionist and expects the best of anyone who he works with (and those who work for him). He does not like being disappointed when expectations are set high and has the confidence and cleverness of an attractive, successful, businessman.

6. Osiris has studied at various universities and schools over the years. His favorite subjects are math and science. Like the hardcore stuff. Advanced Calculus, Physics, Biology, Chemistry and of course Alchemy and Magics of all kinds.

7. …..Hmmm not sure how into movies he would be. He’s more of a book reader.

8. Google? He IS google xD. A living dictionary of world history lol But I’d say maybe all he’s googled recently is something like “What is spongebob?” because of all these new dumbass Spongebob memes xD

9. Osiris is inspired by his need to further and surpass the boundaries of human science and physical limitations. He’s always looking for a way to make things better. He feels like since he has to share this planet with lower beings he might as well try to make it tolerable.

10. The Bible is a favorite book of his. Not because believes in it but because he finds it an amusing read. Like “Lol I was there when they crucified Jesus and that’s not how the story went.”

11. His hobbies consist of studying to further the progress of Nilotic Energy (his company), reading in general, collecting historical relics for preservation, creating and cataloging new magic and spells. He also likes cooking. Even though he doesn’t have to eat, he enjoys the art and skill that goes along with cooking and does it often.

13. I’m not sure how one does the enneagram thing but if anyone can explain it I can maybe choose something.

17. Well he doesn’t have to eat to sustain himself but usually he goes for the more homecooked or highclass meal kinda foods. He likes foods that people put actual work and skill into. He can literally taste the difference if you’ve put effort into your food or if you just warmed up some precooked stuff in a microwave. So in other words you probably won’t catch him eating at a greasy fast food place.

18. Does he prefer coffee, tea or cocoa? Surprisingly he likes them all. But teas are his favorite. He likes his coffees and teas in a very specific way.

19. Osiris’s handwriting is very neat and precise. The only time it looks off is when he’s just jotting down quicknotes for something but even then its always legible. He also almost exclusively writes in cursive.

20. Since there’s no original ask here’s a Random Fact: Smoking cigars is a bad habit he adopted during the 1800s. He’s adapted ingredients to suit his own, more non-human, preferences but he still likes certain human brands as well.

5. Do you have any writing superstitions? What are they and why are they 100% true?

This isn’t really a superstition, but it's all I've got. I believe that if I say to someone out loud that I'm going to write, I end up not being able to. It's like the universe decides to make a liar out of me. So, if I keep it quiet, I'm usually much more productive.
