for bo: ✨, 💀, 🌂 ; for sarah: 🎯, 🍀; for florence: 🥊, 🌂

for bo:

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

STOP. I LOOKED UP SOUTHERN BOY NAMES. LMAO. LISTS OF HICK NAMES MY BELOVED

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

this would be a normal question coming from anyone but my dm,,,,, i think bo is afraid of heights and i think he's very afraid of the deep ocean. he's like. actually thats not my business. ickynasty

🌂 - What genre do they belong in?

oughh. not a genre but. discworld novel. genre To Me

for sarah:

🎯 - What do they do best?

cook. she's a pretty decent baker but shes so good at cooking. i think they can taste something someone else has made and then go home and make it 97% accurately even if they arent told any of the ingredients. and the other 3% is shes probably gonna use more butter and better spices. she doesnt follow recipes they kind of just wing it and follow their gut and everything they make is so so tasty

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

making wife for you <33333 simply sarah got made in early 2022 which was Such A Time for both of us and i was like. you know what. sarahs gregarious and silly and a little stupid sometimes and big loving and big personality and dopey and kind bc i felt like that was needed at the time. and it was originally meant to be a three shot so sarah and hawk were very much the comic relief characters and oh how theyve both grown

for florence:

🥊 - What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?

i think she loves to handwrite things. like if her sisters are making a shopping list shes like i can write it!!! she writes thank you letters for people even for small things. i think she journals too. writing stuff just calms her down and she enjoys it and she works really hard on her handwriting

despite her love of writing shopping lists i think she hates shopping. food, clothes, supplies, it doesnt matter. she gets overwhelmed and doesnt like most of the options. i think when she was in how high she got most everything just given to her by the church and then occasionally lizzie forced her out, and then in silvermoon her sisters did the shopping or she just tagged along. girl who would not survive a modern walmart

🌂 - What genre do they belong in?

hmmmmm great question. very specific genre but Awkward Girl Coming Of Age Movie

— THE RAKE

Oh, the rake. "Rake" is a broad term, and a lot of heroes can BE rakes, there's a certain iconic vibe to a Rake Classic. A rake FUCKS. And not in an annoying way. Like, a rake would slip out of your bed, kiss you gently, and say "I'm so glad we shared this time together" in a way that suggests you'll never see him again, but you'll still say thank you. A rake doesn't want to settle down, but he deeply appreciates women. He may say things like "I actually think women do have rights. Hell, perhaps they should even vote" because he's like... not a feminist, but a big believer in the power of pussy. He doesn't HATE love, it's just not for him. Until it is. Rakes can often fence, do a gentlemanly boxing, and perhaps duel, but they are *not* your first choice in a fight. They are probably beloved at the local brothels, both because they fuck so good and because they spend all their money there. A rake may be titled; however, he may also be a second son (womp womp). It's vERY possible that a rake has mommy issues. Give him time, and he will confide in you. Probably while telling you that is why... he cannot love. The rake may not be good at a lot of things that aren't sex. This might be his secondary crisis, and his arc might involve "Rake Gets Job?" Rake recs: "Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake" by Sarah MacLean, "The Duke and the Lady in Red" by Lorraine Heath, "The Lady Gets Lucky" by Joanna Shupe, "A Rake's Guide to Seduction" by Caroline Linden, "Indigo" by Beverly Jenkins

— THE TORTURED HERO

Look—he just doesn't wanna talk about it. The tortured hero has a dark past, which probably involves his childhood, may involve one or both of his parents dying (or: a dead wife), and will be withheld from you for at least the first half of the book. He fucks like an absolute demon (usually to make you forget about the questions you asked regarding his scars; it's effective), he may have nightmares where he says what you think is his old lover's name so you steam about it for 20-50 pages and he's like "no, that's my childhood dog, which I had to eat when food became scarce", maybe his dad didn't love him, and he is more likely to be self made than some other heroes. Though he may also be a duke whose actions had consequences. There's a *distinct* possibility that he's mentally unwell, but everyone needs love. Your one big issue is that he... may not think he's worthy of touching you with his filthy hands. Somehow, you must overcome this. Tortured recs: "My Darling Duke" by Stacy Reid, "Dreaming of You" by Lisa Kleypas, "A Lady for a Duke" by Alexis Hall, "Pippa and the Prince of Secrets" by Grace Callaway, "Duke of Midnight" by Elizabeth Hoyt, "The Duke I Tempted" by Scarlett Peckham, "A Rogue by Any Other Name" by Sarah MacLean

— THE GOOD GUY

Isn't that great for you? The good guy isn't a NICE guy. He doesn't expect sexual favors because he's nice to you; and he's so charming, he can probably get laid elsewhere. He may have a tragic backstory and a fatal flaw, but that's not going to get him down. He doesn't play at alpha male bullshit, and he may not be a duke, or a lord, or the owner of the world's first department store. But he's a Solid Guy. He will love, honor, and obey, and he will NOT! Do a nonsense. He will, however, eat pussy. He's a good guy. Good guy recs: "Unclaimed" by Courtney Milan, "Scandal in Spring" by Lisa Kleypas, "My Fake Rake" by Eva Leigh, "Unmasked by the Marquess" by Cat Sebastian
