...can you tell i'm enjoying playing a morbid button (peep the 6% with rosy.... SIGH)

[bigfan-fanfic]

Can I hear a little about your OCs? I tried to search about them in your blog but I found it kinda hard to find their lore, do you mind telling me a bit about them?

I don't mind at all! I've been extensively examining and reworking my OCs so I can get back into writing for them. Here's a list and short description for them!

These are the OCs currently in my canons for each series. Any others I come up with tend to be in alternate versions.

Dragon Age

Morgan Walker: Ser Morgan the Mysterious, Morgan is the Hero of Ferelden and slayer of the Archdemon. He is also from our world, having hopped through other worlds before landing in Thedas and anchoring there. He had a son with Morrigan before they amicably separated and Morgan fell for Cullen. Morgan is nurturing and compassionate, but also has a sarcastic side, and enjoys goofing around. - Faceclaim: Sebastian Stan

Freyr Surana: King-Consort Freyr is an elf-blooded mage from the Anderfels living in Kinloch Hold and escaped with Jowan. He fell in love with Alistair over the course of their journey and married him. Studious and diligent, Freyr is also deeply kind and loving, and his purity of heart helped keep the group's spirits up. - Faceclaim: Tom Busson

Cas Shepard: Cassander Shepard was once a powerful biotic and Commander of the Alliance Systems. However, at the end of the Reaper War, he and Morgan traveled to the Crucible and due to their powers, ended up crashing into Thedas. Snarky and cocky, but well-meaning at heart, Cas doesn't have it in him to be mean to anyone who doesn't deserve it. Eventually joins the Inquisition and falls for The Iron Bull - Faceclaim: Chris Evans

Havi Amell: A powerful mage from Kinloch Hold, Havi treats Freyr and Alistair like little brothers and cares for them deeply. He is protective and ruthless in the desire to keep them safe. He also quickly learns martial combat to supplement his skills. He is appointed Teyrn of Gwaren, though spends more time with Alistair and Freyr. - Faceclaim: Jorge Cobian

Mila Cooper: A librarian from our world, Mila is a pacifist and stellar potioneer. Her foreknowledge of events helped her to greatly assist the Kirkwall gang, though she was unable to stop Anders. She works as Varric's editor, and thus deals with all his businesses and secret informants. She is energetic and knowledgable, though can be indecisive. She fell in love with Fenris, and is pregnant by Inquisition. - Faceclaim: Britanny Snow

Cal Hawke: The Champion of Kirkwall, Cal is deeply protective of his family. Though he never wished to be a hero, he took on the mantle, and became Viscount for a brief while. He loves Varric, and is a gentle soul at heart, kind and honest. Though he can be pretty lazy and unmotivated. Does get along with his brother, Carver. - Faceclaim: Henry Cavill

Ava Hawke: Ava is a mage, just like her father, and is far more ruthless. She will do whatever she must to protect her family, and is a powerful blood mage. Despite this, she has fallen for Sebastian and become the Witch-Queen of Starkhaven, with the respect of the former Arishok. Desires the power to keep her siblings safe. - Faceclaim: Katie McGrath

Tash Adaar: A young Qunari child, Tash has been a mage from a young age, and is exceedingly powerful. Personable and cheery, though suffering from a deep-seated fear of abandonment, Tash becomes known as the Child of Andraste and then the Inquisitor, and uses this to his political advantage, proving to have a cunning beyond his years.

Vylandin Mithra: Vylandin hails from a mixed Avvar-Dalish clan in the Frostback Mountains, and is of immense stature, while also using his magic to bolster his physical capabilities. He comes to Haven and is appointed the Dalish Advisor to the Inquisition, and serves as liaison to other clans and non-Andrastian allies. He saves Josephine from attack, and the two ambassadors fall for each other from a place of mutual respect. Vylandin has a fondness for terrible jokes. - Faceclaim: Brock O'Hurn

Jack Theirin: The adopted son of Alistair and Freyr, Jack was born as the son of a royal guard. Upon his death, the two Kings adopted the young lad and made him their heir. They raised him as best they could, the lad having latent magical talent, and he became a princely young man of great moral fiber. He ran from home to help the Inquisition, becoming the personal honor guard of Tash. - Faceclaim: Luke Eisner

Gawain Trevelyan: In Ostwick, when the Mage-Templar war broke out, the residents of the Ostwick Circle refused to fight each other. The Ostwickers fought off bands of rebel mages and roving Templars alike, and soon Gawain Trevelyan, third son of a noble house, came to represent them. This group of Templars and mages coexisted and were invited to the Conclave as a prime example of peace. By a stroke of luck, they were late and missed the explosion. Finds himself romancing Blackwall. Gawain is an academic, but a powerful speaker and leader, and the Justinia Delegation, as they became known, is a powerful ally to the Inquisition. - Faceclaim: Jens de Fries.

Other

Jesse Malkin: A shy and stoic individual, Jesse, in any universe, shines with his intelligence, which is often underestimated due to his physique and handsome appearance. - Faceclaim: Chris Hemsworth

Mordred Wiseman: Intelligent and slightly hedonistic, Mordred, in any universe he appears, is highly skilled with people and friendly, though he can be selfish as well. - Faceclaim: Charlie Gillespie

Xander Holbrook: Xander is the classic example of a knight, honorable and firm. Though he can also be pretty judgemental. In any universe he appears, he is protective, though slightly sarcastic and aggressive. - Faceclaim: Greg Rogstad

Mass Effect

Orion Shepard - The paragon of justice, Orion and his cousin Cassander shared the main bulk of credit for the triumph against the Reapers. Orion, the first human Spectre, became a symbol of truth and honor, and carefully promoted diplomacy wherever possible. Engaged in a poly relationship with Kadan and Garrus. - Faceclaim: Michael Yerger

Ellis Walker - Morgan's father, the two traveled forward in time to the Mass Effect universe, manifesting strange powers. Ellis had traveled between worlds before, but repressed those memories due to abuse from Morgan's mother. With a crippled self-esteem and high anxiety, Ellis did his best to keep his son safe, but nearing the end of the Reaper War, Ellis stayed with his new lover, Steve Cortez, and tragically had no idea what happened to his son Morgan. - Faceclaim: Misha Collins

wip wednesday

not me skating in at the last minute

thanks for the tag @evilbunnyking! 💖 (and also for the bit you shared - didn't get a chance to reply to it earlier but i LOVE! forever obsessed with the way you write the N/A dynamic and also the way you write, period.)

this is a little snippet from a recent prompt i'm working on - officially dipping my toes into mind blind fic!🌚 featuring my button, Ellis, teaching Grayson how to not burn cookies like an adult (step 1: pre-heat the damn oven)

“I have total confidence in you,” Ellis says calmly, throwing Gray what she hopes is a reassuring smile. That makes one of us. Nick’s voice in her head, still a little jarring. Even disembodied, Ellis can hear the teasing, can almost see the arched brow and wry grin that he’d have been leveling at the two of them if his consciousness weren’t currently residing in her body instead of his own. Ellis sighs, rolling her lips together to cover the reflexive grin tugging at her mouth. No comments from the peanut gallery, please. On the other side of the immaculate marble island, Gray returns her smile, though he doesn’t look particularly reassured. Just please don’t get orange juice on my counters, Nick pleads in her head. I just had them resealed. Yeah, yeah, she thinks back at him. If it were possible to elbow a disembodied voice, Ellis knew exactly whose phantom ribs hers would be aiming for. Hard to get juice anywhere when all you’re using is the zest. Aloud, she says to Gray, “Nick would like it stated for the record that he loves these countertops more than anything in the world — including the sister in whose head he is currently, literally living rent-free — so we have to be extra-extra careful. You know, when we use them as countertops. Their intended purpose.” “If it’s a concern,” Gray says, looking all too relieved for the excuse, “we don’t need to do this today. Or at all! I’ve never been able to bake properly before and I’ve managed just fine. Why rock the boat?” Ellis arches an eyebrow, though her attempt to look unimpressed with his alleged logic is somewhat dampened by the stubborn upward twitch of her lips.

everyone has almost certainly been tagged, but if you haven't and you have a thing to share, please please do!! (and tag me so i can read it!)

[mementovivere]

hi! i'd love to know more about your ocs so as a start out question: are there any songs that you associate with your ocs/ships? 👁

this took me so long but i couldn’t stop thinking about the songs so answers under the cut!

Ellie Wiseman • Fight Song by Rachel Platten

I might only have one match / but I can make an explosion / And all those things I didn't say / Wrecking balls inside my brain / I will scream them loud tonight / Can you hear my voice this time? / This is my fight song / Take back my life song / Prove I'm alright song / My power's turned on / Starting right now I'll be strong / I'll play my fight song / And I don't really care if nobody else believes / 'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me.

From my mb!mcs, Ellie is the one who doesn't let her Zero get in the way of what she wants to do. She is very vocal about everything, doesn't really give others a chance to read her mind since says everything she thinks. Does it backfire at times? Yes. Does she get embarrassed? Of course. However, none of that will stop her. She knows people will know what she's thinking no matter what but it will be on her terms. This is also the reason why she decided to become an MIV Trainee since she has always wanted to follow her family footsteps and she knows this is as close as she's going to get. Like I said before, she won't let her Zero get in the way of her following her dreams.

Elias x Kol • Better Man by 5 Seconds of Summer

Thought I'd found the highest of highs / You came to top 'em all / You shine in the dead of the night / And I was the first to fall / (...) / I'd never change, thought I'd never change / Then you come and change it all / With your love, your love, I'm a better, better man / With your love, your love, I'm a better, better man / Darling, all of my wrongs, they led me right to you / Wrapped in your arms, I swear I'd die for / Your love, your love, I'm a better, better man

Out of my kotsam!mcs, Elias is the only Hunter while also being an Anderson. I liked the idea of having someone, a human most of all, being stuck in this new magical world and not being allowed to leave while also not knowing what to do since he doesn't have magical abilities??? And why would he try to become a magician just to not have people hate him?? He doesn't want to be there anyway so he won't conform to what they want. So here's this child who's full of resentment for NMC and supernaturals, who won't listen to him since he doesn't have magical abilities, and who decides to become a Hunter after almost being killed by one after he tried to prove the rest of the group that he knew what he was doing. Who then falls in love with a supernatural who hates Hunters since his family was killed by one but who makes Elias' life in NMC better. Who makes Elias slowly start to rethink his choices and start accepting supernaturals and the magical world little by little. It works for them since if Elias had not followed that chain of events into becoming a Hunter, he wouldn't have fallen for Kol as fast and as deep as he did. *this got so long im sorry*

Julie x Cove • 18 by One Direction

So kiss me where I lay down / My hands pressed to your cheeks / A long way from the playground / I have loved you since we were 18 / Long before we both thought the same thing / To be loved and to be in love / All I can do is say that these arms were made for holding you, oh / I wanna love like you made me feel / When we were 18

My children, my babies. The song would be more accurate if you change the 18 to 13 since Julie has been in love with Cove since she was 13 years old. But if we are being more specific, she realized she was in love with him then, all through the teasing from Mom, Ma and Lizzy. However, she's always loved Cove. She used to have the biggest crush on him growing up but she was a child so she didn't understand the difference. She just knew that the way she cared about Cove was different than from the way she cared about the other friends she made in school. I don't usually like the childhood friends to lovers trope but this is one of the exceptions. The transition from friends to lovers was so natural for them, it felt right. I just love them so much

Maxine Wiseman • Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths

You're scarin' us and all of us / Some of us love / Achilles, it's not much but there's proof / (...) / The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken / Remember the path of our youth / Where you go, I'm going / So jump and I'm jumpin' / Since there is no me without you / (...) / How the most dangerous thing is to love / How you will heal and you'll rise above / And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it / (...)

I left this for last because it is my saddest one. This song is both what I associate with Maxine and what I associated with Maxine & Nick. Maxine always struggled with her Zero. Personality wise, she is exactly like Hope. For the first part of the song, this sort of shows how Nick would try and help her whenever her thoughts would go to a dark place. It can also apply to Sally, honestly. Just someone trying to show Maxine that people do love and that she is enough and that she's not alone. The middle is how her thoughts are when she is in her dark place and how much it affects her. *if you do listen to it* The part from 4:30 to 5:10 is how I see Nick basically fighting against Maxines intrusive thoughts now that he's literally inside her head.

[gncrezan]

hi u totally don’t have to answer this if it’s too in-depth or whatever but i love ur art & ocs and was curious was IF games you’ve played & if u could give us a quick run-down of ur MCs & who your main ROs were <3 love u

YES I CAN ..... any excuse to drop random info abt my ocs/mcs LOL... under the cut bc im insufferable and talk abt it forever…. since this got a tiny bit (very) long, i just bolded the info you actually asked for AHAHA

in order of what i played:

wayhaven chronicles !! i played aliyah rana, and now i’ve gotten past the honeymoon stage of “wow this was great!” ive decided im taking ub and running from the author... and ali romaced felix !

they take after rebecca more than rook, but their similarities towards rook is where it counts (in the friendliness, charisma, kindness etc) !! their relationship with rebecca is a little distanced bc neither of them really knew what to say, but they're trying to patch it up now <3 views bobby as a nuisance that calls them every so often LMFAOO

mind blind !! @/sysba the absolute legend recced this (who you can blame for getting me into IF in the first place) n i’ve got two mcs for this! niko romanced gray bc i adored the mutual cookie baking scene, and once i realised kenzie was in fact a dog person, i immediately went back to make a new mc and so laila romanced kent!

laila is quiet and both methodical and very VERRYYY smart! being a genius made them a little overconfident, and so they take failures horribly… think gifted kid burnout except laila is still overachieving on fumes 😭 these wisemans also grew up in a multifaith household (jewish and nepali hindu) so they’re insanely busy in oct/nov/dec LMFAOO …

niko is loud and very funny. while laila is trying to cover up being a little insecure in how she fits into her ment family, niko actually doesn’t give a shit LMFAO… being a zero sucks, but he learnt to live with it: niko genuinely doesn’t think he have anything to prove as a wiseman ! he’s a social butterfly and extremely charismatic, similar to nick in a lot of ways, and would have been rly popular had it not been for the zero

a tale of crowns !! i am so obsessed with this seriously i changed my URL FOR THIS !!! my mc for this is niyaz who romanced rezan ! if ur brown you deserve to read this like LORD it made me insanely happy like just go read this please

niyaz's has charmed their entire way through life and as crown they're abt to charm their way out LMFAO... they're hyperaware of how others perceive them, and try to say the right thing to the right person, even if it doesn't exactly align with their principles, which can backfire. have a nervous habit in scratching at their eyes. their affinity was death of the sun!

body count ! no romances locked in yet bc there is just ... so much to choose from i feel bad for picking one person AHAHA!! it does look as though carmen is going to accidentally trip and fall for nyra, and i have no idea abt cameron . he coupled up with ellis and i will never forgive this website for killing off my themboss...

cam and carmen are competitive with each other and if they had been in the villa together, they would have been mortified LMFAOOO neither of them expected the other to join anything like body count ... cameron studied physics while carmen studied languages and were very good at that until life fucked them over and they didn't land a job related to their major

the two of them dyed their hair blond separately bc they wanted to stand out from each other, and when they found out they were STILL matching, you would not believe the amount of arguing in the family group chat

cameron joined the show on a whim and doesn't know what the fuck he's doing </3 carmen joined because she loves money and loves women... they're very different in a lot of ways, but one thing they do share is they want to be perceived as good looking . LOL

the exile !! alpheus is dear to my heart cause he was a dnd oc first that i threw into the exile for fun and i rly should have realised this was a angst filled plotline otherwise i would have never done this to my boy 😔😭 he’s currently romancing veth and had a will-they-wont-they with sabir !! but the others LIs make me think so hard OTL so this is due to change

borrowed things from his dnd characterisation... he's extremely family oriented and has a great relationship with esme and emeline, even if his relationship with marcelle is a little strained ! he's sarcastic and was popular pre-exile because of his bleeding heart and kindness. values peace and really wasn't built to be a general, even if he's good at killing :( misc things include pheonix blood infusion, fighting with a scythe and being a horse girl at heart <3

faith of gods !! kelsang dorji my beloved.... i draw them often since they were an oc first and i haven’t been able to draw him in a fog-specific context ... and i’ve yet to rly romance anyone 😭

i’m a little in love with cian but kelsang is not (arthur fist)

kelsang is also religious, and i rmb praying to one of the gods but the name escapes me... i've gotta go back and play it again bc i think the concept is so cool !

i'm also trying to rehash them and give them more personality bc kelsang was a character design thing first and is pretty much a blank slate LOL

i also don’t think i can romance flor cause that’s my best friend’s name and i can’t reconcile that LMFAO

my to read list includes northern passage, mage reborn, citadel, atollo, wayfarer, ofna (MR BHATRA...) and when twilight strikes ! plus more that i don’t rmb bc i always forget to note down what i want to play ! if anyone has gotten this far and wants to rec smthn, feel free to drop that in the replies 👀

and i’m also waiting for (unreleased as of now) golden harp, redwood and eye of the moon ! eotm releases literally this friday tho 🤩

[homeformyheart]

five wips

thank you @hunnybadgerv for tagging me! i'm so glad we started talking <3

I'm always working on something or another, so here are the five most recent WIPs I've been working on (DM me or send in an ask if you want to know more or help me brainstorm things xD).

Some of these have made appearances in wip wednesday / six sentence sunday so they may be familiar.

1. sparring partner - adam du mortain x regina bishop (twc)

this was a nsfw prompt request from @crackerdumortain and i am finallyyyy making some headway.

2. countdown to heartache - mason x ria knight (twc)

inspired by @possumsunshine's take on the post-bakery scene in "mess"; this is sort of my take with ria (which kind of puts it at odds with the feb prompt 'bakery' but whatev).

i wanted to break mason's heart after the book 3 demo (no real spoilers) and had one idea i was working with before i changed my mind. so i actually don't know where this is headed yet - the first two scenes are written so i kind of need to decide on the resolution i want so i can fill in the rest.

3. reginald (title tbd) - remus guill & regina bishop w/adam du mortain (twc)

@quietsphere and i decided 'reginald' (say it in a posh british voice as though you're mocking a du mortain) is our platonic detective ship name and this is explored in a self-indulgent, nonesensical, multi-part timetravel-ish AU fic (and potential future comic) featuring knight!adam in present day. it's turning into an eight-part epic.

4. unraveling truth - colt kaneko x ellie wheeler (choices)

i don't know if i really worked on this recently but i felt like i had to add a choices one here because this is really the only wip (i probably have at least 8 others) that i do want to finish at some point. i've been working on chapter 2 and have the first scene written, i just need to get the rest of it done 😅. chapter 2 focuses on logan & ellie on the run / fighting bandits and finally meeting up with rogues/rebels.

5. my love (tbd) - ambrose kim x michelle (mishi) wiseman (mind blind)

it's mostly an outline with about six sentences written but the focus of this fic is a mature conversation between rosy & michelle about how they each think of and refer to their relationship to others. my button oc michelle was adopted from south korea and is discovering her connection to her birth heritage with the help of rosy. this takes place during their established relationship/deep romance phase.

i'm excited for this one in particular because i get to incorporate some of my own korean heritage / culture / upbringing into this conversation about a relationship where boyfriend/girlfriend is an inadequate way to describe what they are/have.

*** tagging anyone who wants to share (please do tag me!) but also some writers & artists and basically my taglist xD: @pearlsandsteel; @possumsunshine; @veeples; @lilas; @tuomniia; @vintage-vamp; @otherworldlypresents; @ambrosykim; @missameliep; @lorirwritesfanfic; @gloynporslen; @crackerdumortain; @mistyeyedbi;

I saw you tagged Ellery Wiseman on that poem and am dropping into your inbox to ask for anything you'd like to share about your Button!! (Do you have more than one? Who do they romance? How is their relationship with Nick?) -wayhavenots

omg pd tysm for asking!! 💕💕 there is absolutely nothing in the world i love more than having an excuse to talk about my ocs

i (with some rare exceptions) am the kind of if player that makes a new oc for every romance route i play, so i actually have 5 buttons 🫣 (technically 6, rip elliot wiseman who was from my very first mind blind playthrough, when i just wanted to see if i liked the game. you were very depressed and never became a fully-realized button, but your sacrifice is remembered and your name is retired out of respect). i have a page with very, very brief details on my buttons (and also my detectives for wayhaven) and links to their tags here, but if you use tumblr mobile you've probably never had the opportunity to see it.

this got so very, very long, so the rest is under the cut

my 5 buttons are: ella, ellie, elle, ellis, and ellery (can you guess what naming convention i lifted from the game's default names? lol). what's universally true for all 5 of them (though with some nuance, they all have slightly different feelings about their relationships) is that they're as close as they can be with their parents (because i like john and hope as characters and i find "i really love these people but our relationship became incredibly complicated and we now have to find ways to reconcile our disappointment/anger/etc. with our love for them" to be really compelling. i love mess) and with nick (because i'm a middle child and i accidentally projected my feelings about my siblings (and especially my older sister) onto the button&nick relationship. i physically can't be mean to nick because i cried for about 45 minutes the first time i read the end of chapter 3/chapter 4 and for the first time really considered my sister's mortality, and that changes you).

for a (not really that brief, whoops) rundown of my buttons' whole deals:

ella: equally humorous and confident, very high insightful stat, romancing ambrose. she's independent, intelligent, ambitious, loyal, great at compartmentalizing, and, quite frankly, arrogant. she can be really abrasive sometimes (while she can be a kind and compassionate person, most people don't get to see that side of her and so she can come off as really rather unpleasant - think that know-it-all kid in your class that everyone kind of hates). ella naturally is rather funny/confident/intelligent/etc., but i think, after the incident with hope, she ended up amplifying these inherent traits of hers and making them into a sort of armour that keeps her safe, but also isolates her. i think she's afraid of showing weakness and i think she feels this subconscious need to prove to everyone (including herself) that she's capable. her relationship with nick is the worst out of all of my buttons (but is still incredibly high, think 160/170-ish approval), mainly because she and nick clash the most. she's very independent and knows what she wants and will pursue it (even if it's a boyfriend her brother doesn't like or a career her parents don't want for her) no matter what anyone else thinks, and nick can be a little hover-y (though this improves over the events of the game). she does really love nick (and does actually care about his approval, even if it won't stop her from doing things she knows he won't like), even if she finds him kind of annoying sometimes. she views the incident with hope as a horrible accident that wasn't anyone's fault, and i think she sees better than my other buttons how everyone in the family was affected by the fallout. fun fact: several years post-game, she and ambrose have identical twin girls (ella jokes that she wanted two kids so she and ambrose had twins because "we're efficient". they have girls because ambrose is a girl dad. i am not accepting notes) that share a birthday with nick (because i need ambrose to be forced to participate in a large yearly party that at least partially involves celebrating nick. do you know how many years nick rented a bouncy castle and then proceeded to bounce on the bouncy castle with the girls? it's every year until they decided they're too cool for it. nick's heart broke that day)

eleanor/ellie: more humorous than confident (with confident stat increasing through the game), but has a decent morbid stat too, very high insightful stat, romancing grayson. ellie fulfills my need in every if game/rpg i play to have at least one character who is so, so nice to everyone (my detective alina fulfills this need in wayhaven). she's kind, considerate, forgiving, has a strong sense of morals (except at work, where she's very expedient), and tends to blame herself when things go wrong. she really feels just unbearably guilty about most things: the incident with hope (if she'd acted differently, if she'd been different, etc., maybe it wouldn't have happened), nick's accident in chapter 3, nick having to take care of her through high school... she really struggled after the incident with hope because she needed nick and depended on him so much, but then hated herself for how much she needed him and feeling like she ruined his life (she did project this onto gray when he started hanging around, which is why she didn't like him at first, but over time she realized it wasn't his fault and moved on. and then she got goopy feelings for him). she's not blind to nick's faults, but she adores him (200 approval easily). i think a lot of her growth over the course of the game comes from learning to trust herself and to believe in herself. fun fact: she once made a joke to gray after they started dating (in front of nick and sally too 😬) without thinking about how there'd be "no kids or dog until we have a house". it was way too early in the relationship to be making a joke about having kids or a house. they didn't even live together yet. she's still a little mortified that she said that

elle: confident, very high insightful stat, romancing kent. i love elle because she's kind of relentlessly forward-thinking. she doesn't really dwell on the past except to figure out how to improve the future. she believes strongly that it's what someone does that matters. she's my button who's the most interested in trying to get herself into the npo program. like ella, i think she views the incident with hope as a horrible accident that isn't really anyone's fault, and i think she really makes an effort not to dwell on it or assign blame for what happened. she also has terminal foot-in-mouth disease (talking about bondage with kent in front of your brother, best friend, and instructor after revealing that you'll probably get tortured together, anyone?), which is the bane of her existence. while i think all my buttons struggled with some agoraphobia post-the incident with hope, i think elle really struggled with it: she loves dogs and used to volunteer at an animal shelter, but had to stop because she couldn't handle being outside of her home without sally or nick (she could go to school if she spent the entire day with sally, and then would go straight home) and it took several months for her to feel like she could go places without one or both of them again. once she was able to leave her home independently, she started volunteering at the animal shelter again, and is still there. fun fact: post-game and further into their relationship, she ends up accidentally moving in with kent. it starts by just spending a lot of time at his place because it's so close to nick's (i think a lot of her and kent's dates just involve hanging out together), then more and more of her stuff migrates over, until one day she realizes she's been there for two weeks and all of her clothes are in kent's laundry. she formally moves in after that. she's also my button who's most likely to elope!

ellis: humorous-morbid (slightly more morbid than humorous), tentatively more innovative than insightful (i keep swapping the stats), romancing sally. he's "just some guy" (affectionate) to me, if "just some guy" had gallows' humour. he's been kind of desperately in love with sally since he was 13 and figured out what love was. ellis is the kind of person who looks fine on the surface but really isn't. whereas elle doesn't dwell on the incident with hope because she wants to move forward with her life and not have this one event define her, ellis doesn't dwell on it because doing so will wreck him. he was the closest with hope growing up, since they shared a sense of humour and he felt that she really understood him, and it profoundly hurt when she started to pull away as he got older. he trusted her more than anyone growing up and it hurts a lot now to think about how the people he relies on most now are nick and sally instead. he's not as forward about the guilt he feels and how it affects him as ellie or ellery are, but it's still there. he's also very close with nick and really admires him: nick is ellis's model for what it means to "be a man" (more so than john, but i don't think ellis is really aware of this). ellis also views gray as a sort of quasi-older brother figure and is actually more likely to ask gray for relationship or life advice than nick (mainly because he'd feel a little awkward talking to nick about stuff like relationship advice - also look at nick's relationship track record, gray's probably the safer bet). fun fact: ellis is either the same height as nick or one inch shorter than nick (i can never remember), so if they're out together and the topic of height comes up, he tells people that he's at least two inches shorter than he actually is. this is because nick will lie about his height to make himself taller if given the chance, so ellis gets there first and forces nick to be 5ft9 for an evening (nick hates this).

ellery: humorous, higher insightful stat than interpersonal stat, romancing (m!)glitch. she's such a smartass. she's all jokes and has a quip ready for any situation, but, like ella, i think these are inherent characteristics of hers that get amplified as a defense mechanism. i think it's in chapter 1 of the demo that there's the line that says it's better to have people laughing with you than at you, and that really fits ellery. ellery blames herself for really everything to do with hope and nick, but if she brushes it off with a joke she can pretend to be fine (she's incredibly not - her guilt defines a lot of her relationships with other people and how she views herself). she's also incredibly devoted to her family (to the point where she can't listen to someone criticize them professionally because like. that's her dad. this sometimes causes issues in her and glitch's relationship, because glitch is unafraid to criticize unity when appropriate, but they figure out how to manage it over time). speaking of glitch: she is such a loverrrrrrr 💕💕💕 they really are intolerable together because they're that couple that's just all over each other. everyone around them hopes they'll tone it down after the honeymoon stage ends but they do not 💕 i imagine them moving in together incredibly quickly too. i don't know the exact timeline of the game so far, but even this early on, ellery knows that he's it for her. ellery makes me think the most about what it would actually be like to not only grow up with people who are able to hear your every thought but to never live with someone who can't read your mind. i always imagine ellery as being very comfortable communicating telepathically when she chooses to (she almost got held back from preschool because she didn't speak until she was 3/4 - not because she had speech or language delays, but because why would she speak out loud when she could communicate telepathically? eventually telepathic communication had to be (temporarily) banned in the house to get ellery to speak verbally, and once she did the ban was lifted). telepathic communication also means an entirely different way of communicating between people: visual jokes, jokes where the comedy isn't in the punchline but in the way the joke is constructed before it's been told, being able to rely on the person you're talking to picking up subtleties from your thoughts if you're having trouble expressing yourself in words, etc. and glitch is the first person she's ever lived with who can't read her mind (sometimes she'll be in another room half way through a conversation with glitch in her head and she'll ask him for his opinion on something she thought, only for him to have to remind her that he cannot hear her. luckily glitch finds this funny when it happens and lightly ribs her about it). she gets incredibly frustrated with herself sometimes because she doesn't know how to explain to him how much he means to her or how much she loves him. she tries, but she never feels like it really encompasses the depth of the feeling (it's the one time she wishes he was a ment, so he could hear it). fun fact: about a year into their relationship, ellery wrote glitch a really bad love poem to try and express her feelings for glitch in a way that's meaningful to him. glitch loved it and insisted that it was beautiful, but she thinks it's amateur and is kind of embarrassed about it because he quotes actual love poetry to her all the time. this poem does actually exist because i wrote it to try and get in her head space and figure out what she'd say, and it's mid at best (i am not a poet)

[carriehobbs]

Most likely to apologize first and most likely to sing when they think they are alone please :)

i'm going to mix this up for mind blind ocs and wayhaven ocs 💕💕 hope that's okay

most likely to apologize first: ellie wiseman from mind blind! she will apologize for anything and everything, including things that aren't actually her fault. even if she's the one who's been wronged somehow, she'll still do this whole thing about how she's sorry and she can see how from their perspective what she did/said could have been hurtful or inconvenient etc

most likely to sing when they think they are alone: alina langford from wayhaven! one of my very old notes on alina says that she's a good singer, but she would be way too self-conscious to sing in front of other people. you will catch her singing along to her music while she's doing dishes, though

ok button time

ella wiseman:

favourite flowers are gardenias (they make her think of wonky roses)

apparently she plays the piano (i don't remember this)

in a non-mind blind world, she probably would have been a lawyer

the first time she got sick after she and ambrose started dating, she was spending the weekend at his place and he made her rice porridge. the next time she was sick she was back at nick's place and she insisted he make her rice porridge too, but every time he would, she said it didn't taste right. he made three batches (each of which ella summarily rejected after barely a taste) before caving and calling ambrose, who brought ella some rice porridge that he had made for her before coming over. ella had one bite and promptly declared it perfect. nick almost pulled out his hair he was so angry

ellie wiseman:

likes kayaking, hiking as outdoor activities

is the most likely to get a complementary tattoo with nick: he would get a button, she would a similar small black lineart-style mouse in a similar location (her name for him is nicky mouse, but she doesn't want to go disney because then it looks like she just has a disney tattoo, so she opts for an actual mouse)

her favourite flowers are whatever flowers gray got her for her high school graduation. at the time i wrote these notes apparently that was dahlias

has an extended (but not serious) fight with gray about who gets to have nick in their wedding party (gray says he should get nick because nick is his best friend. ellie says she should get nick because nick is her brother). ellie eventually concedes and lets nick be gray's best man (and has sally as her maid of honour), but makes sure that gray knows it's only because she knows he doesn't have other friends (nick tells her "pot, meet kettle", since her only friend is sally, which doesn't end well for him. nick does get a bit smug about being fought over though).

elle wiseman:

favourite flowers are lilies (which are apparently poisonous to dogs, so she never gets to have any). her second favourite flowers are orchids (which are apparently not poisonous to dogs. i think she just picked these deliberately based on what flowers she knew were pet-safe and thought were pretty and just started calling them her second favourite)

is somehow listed in my notes as the most likely of my buttons to elope, to get married while still a student at aeon, and to have an unplanned pregnancy. elle, what are you doing????

not super clingy during the day, but very clingy at night. definitely takes "her rightful half" of the bed (meaning that the dogs get a quarter of the bed. kent gets a sliver of the bed. elle gets the rest). claims that the only reason she's not all over him during the day is because she gets her required cuddles at night

in a non-mind blind world, she would have been a vet or a vet tech

ellis wiseman:

worked a remote it job after high school and before enrolling at aeon

naturally a side sleeper, but trained himself to sleep on his back during sleepovers so that sally could sprawl on top of him

calls sally "sal" as a pet name. doesn't really use any other ones

absolutely miserable to take care of when he's sick. doesn't want to drink or eat food. very grumbly. has the grace and self-awareness to apologize for it afterwards

ellery wiseman:

afraid of heights

gets really into learning how to cook vegan food (especially figuring out a vegan recipe for mind-over-batters that tastes the exact same) after she starts dating glitch. forces nick and mario (owner of sophia's) to get into making vegan food too so she can share the food/restaurants she loves with glitch. have you ever seen a 20-year-old strongarm a restaurateur into adding a whole new section to his menu? now you have

regularly ropes grayson into doing things he doesn't want to do by asking him "are you a part of this family or not??". does not feel bad about using this power against him

picked the middle names for her and glitch's kids. their son's middle name is nicholas and their daughter's middle name is either kenzie or mackenzie (i hadn't settled on it at the time of writing the note). she says that it's only right that, since their son's middle name honours his uncle from her side of the family, their daughter's middle name should honour her uncle from glitch's side of the family

when i went looking for the want/needs/would hate to hear thing i mentioned earlier for my buttons and detectives i remembered that i wrote trivia about them in my character notes. i've forgotten most of these notes so i might as well be discovering them alongside you. who wants some trivia

[thee-morrigan]

🍽 💘 for any of your Buttons, please?

thank you for the ask! since you sent two, I’ll do one for each of my Buttons <3

🍽 - do they do a lot of cooking?

for Aurora - thank god for Nick (in general tbh) because she would probably have scurvy without his cooking - or at the very least a pile of debt from abusing her Postmates account. She loves food, but she really doesn't have the patience for cooking. Listen, there's a reason she calls her brother "pic-Nick."

💘 - what was one of the first things that attracted them to their partner?

for Ellis - it's hard to pinpoint exactly when she developed a crush on Gray, but when pressed, she's pretty sure she knows when it moved from "my brother's friend is really cute" to "oh no, my brother's cute friend is a giant nerd (affectionate)": the day she learned Gray ALSO religiously watched the annual Tetris World Championship, she was done for.

OC emoji asks

[thee-morrigan]

Oooh: sugarcoated and I think he knows please!

tysm, Meggers! 🥰

so ‘sugarcoated’ was *originally* supposed to be a halloween fic lmaooo. obviously *that* didn’t happen, and it has grown (and taken a turn!) since then. a good chunk of it has turned into backstory exploration for Holland, such as this snippet, wherein she explains how she came into possession of a truly ancient fur coat (just *how* ancient is explored a bit later in the piece, but the short version is from her childhood nanny, Anežka):

“And she gave it to you?” “She did. Right before I left for college, she said her work here was done, and she was going back home. Then,” Holland laughed again, “she informed me that this coat was now mine, because she was not confident I would wear sufficient layers in the winter without her here to make me.” She affected the Czech accent and lovingly disapproving tone again. “Brouček is clever enough to learn my language but not wise enough to check the weather before she marches out the door.” Nate laughed at that, a warm, rich sound that she wanted to wrap herself in like a blanket.

(a/n: “Brouček”  is a diminutive Czech endearment. it literally translates to “little beetle,” but is more or less the equivalent of calling your kid honey/sweetie/etc.)

For ‘I think he knows,’ I’m running out of snippets because I seriously need to write more! I did share two snippets earlier here and here, as well as this fic moodboard.

I can offer some intel on the ‘secret’ Wiseman family recipe for truly OTT snickerdoodles! They start with a standard base recipe, but include lots of fresh orange zest and cinnamon chips in the batter. Despite Nick’s arguments to the contrary, these mods were Ellis’s doing (although in Nick’s defense, he does make his own cinnamon chips, which are key). They made the mistake of asking Grayson to weigh in on their debate once; his only comment was that whomever ultimately came up with the idea, the cookies were delicious and “taste[d] like Christmas.”

ask me about my WIPs!
