3, 4, and 9 for oc horror movie asks

OC Questions: Horror Movie Night Edition

Your OCs picked out a horror movie for movie night! Which OC:

3. Spills popcorn everywhere during a jumpscare?

Without thinking about it, Alana. I tentatively want to say Peri. It's funny because they're both calmer in a real emergency [Alana more poised and Peri determinedly optimistic]. But I feel jump scares would probably rattle them.

i say, MAYBE, Arlo. But I am still figuring him out. I think jumpscares get Arlo when he's very focused or when they're ones you wouldn't expect. While Alana is jumping at every one lmao. Peri is in the middle.

4. Laughs gleefully during the scary scenes?

Farryn does, without a doubt.

Depending on the scary scene, Kolbie and Kendis.

9. Tries to spook the others by making a noise during a tense scene?

Farryn. And, once in a blue, Kendis lol.

Thanks for the ask hun! <3

I love using the same oc for different interactive fictions because it's like I'm making a friend try on different hats that I think are neat.

Hello! YOUR WRITING IS AMAZING. I ATE THIS UP LIKE A 5-STAR COURSE MEAL I SWEAR I'M GONNA THINK ABOUT CHARACTERS AND LORE ALL DAY ahem

If you're alright with ROs/characters ask, what would their reaction be on Alistair's obliviousness about certain features that were not presented at their time? You know, the sort of "he got it wrong but he has a spirit" kind of funny obliviousness (think of Ariel from little mermaid and her brushing hair with a fOrK)

I just find it so fascinating that poor hero of the whole nation (supposedly?) can't deal with "mundane" shit like electronic money i- MC, YOU'RE SO TRUE FOR THIS, HONEY. I ALSO CAN'T COMPREHEND CRYPTO 😭

HAHA, sorry for the late response but I appreciate it sm 🙏🙏 and ofc! I love getting asks :))

there are MULTIPLE differences from when Alistar was alive, which we will see in the Neon arc (name pending). the slums don’t really have much of the technology that further uptown does, but there still are things like bytes and electrobikes that Alistar is new to.

I think all the ROs would find Alistar’s shock when it comes to these things pretty amusing, though the endearing part of it would fade quickly for some—namely, Chain and Saturn. Alistar’s newness to the world would concern them. Seven and Orion, meanwhile, just find it cute.

I also saw your comment regarding Teacher 😭 to be fair, him not being on the RO list doesn’t confirm nor deny his presence as an RO. there are many secrets left undiscovered.

(a character actually wrote the RO list. I briefly mentioned this before).

the fact that you even thought of Argos too is hilarious… he’s kind of been in the background so far 👀

there’s at least 1 secret RO. max id have is 3…

Hey!! So...aah, author of Neon//Byte here. I'm coming here because back when I was posting you were like, the nicest person ever about my WIP and I always remembered you. I feel like I wanna explain some things I guess??? Sorry if this is super weird I just saw your post recently about N//B.

So basically...I got run off Tumblr pretty hard last year. Like almost literal pitchforks and torches LOL. I was super new back on the internet after a long stint of not even having a Facebook (big social anxiety issues). So when I used AI art to generate pics of my characters I didn't realise that AI was considered super shitty. I'd already posted all my character intros when I started getting floods of anonymous messages that were just reallyyyyyy fucking mean. And I guess I have thin skin from not being used to social media so it got to me bad.

I didn't know what to do because I'd already made the posts and people had reblogged so I just kinda dipped in a panic. I was ALWAYS planning on saving money up to find an artist to draw the characters but after that I couldn't even look at my WIP for months tbh. I'd pretty much given up on it.

But now...idk it's still really stuck in my head and it's something I wanna do so bad! I've had some new ideas over the months so it's not exactly the same but yeah...it's coming back??? Slowly because I don't wanna throw myself back into it and get overwhelmed but ohmygod you were always so nice and supportive and it's not an exaggeration to say your post last week made me feel like I could maybe do this again.

So yeah!! Thank you...SO MUCH. And I'll be making a Tumblr again in the next couple weeks hopefully so eeee, things are happening again<3

i thought eating breakfast would make me know what to say but i am still just !!!!!!!!!! about this four hours after first seeing this.

i had heard about what happened and i kind of also figured too. i am sorry people did that to you. some people just love being angry. i get the A.I. situation is complicated but not everyone understands [heck, I'VE been on the internet for a minute and I still don't fully know how to feel about it in certain respects]. but i am so glad it didn't permanently crush your spirit/didn't do lasting damage [i'm assuming! and not at all judging if it did. because internet bullying is no joke. it takes such another level of viciousness. and social anxiety is a difficult rock to push uphill.]

selfishly, i'm really fucking excited that it's coming back. but as a fellow creator of ocs, i know the feeling of losing something you were so passionate about/not being able to see it through STINKS so i am glad the vibes and inspiration have returned!!!

but please do not push yourself. as much as i loved seeing your thoughts behind the process, i'd be fine if you decided to just drop the end result and be like 'peace bitches' or whatever is most comfortable for you!

and thank you for reaching out because this really and truly brightened my morning. i cant stop smiling when i think of this message!
