#oc title ask game

[jester-creates]

What's the King of Stories's relationship with his daughter like?

Evidently he's willing to sacrifice a lot for her (citing this ask), but do they get along? If so, what sorts of things do they do together, talk about, etc.?

I'd say that they get along very well.

The Young Witch is easily captivated by the stories that the King of Stories tells her and he loves telling them.

he gets her things so she can safely do the things she likes to do. Which is making potions. She used to do it a lot more dangerously before the King of Stories found her, given that she had to get and do everything herself and she's like around 8 and she'd have to get some things from the monsters that roam the world.

She occasionally teaches The King of Stories how to make potions.

I'm hoping to participate in Art Fight more this year than last year allowed me, and I added Allessandro over there...only to realize I didn't have a colored ref for him! It's been a year since I last drew him so I figured: no better time than now to give him a new fullbody pic!

Fun update: after a month spent searching for his mentor and ending up in Barovia because of it, Saverio finally 'heard' from him a couple sessions ago...only for the message to be vague, short and offer no real answers. Needless to say: Allessandro is still full of mysteries and Saverio is pretty irked at essentially being ghosted by his not-father figure.

Letters to the Royal House of Eryn Galen sounds *very* interesting - what can you tell us about that? 👀

[Tag List Game]

About: "Letters to the Royal House of Eryn Galen"

This ficlet is meant to be a sort of intro post to the Ask Game I have planned for the SotWK AU! :)

A couple of months back, I created a poll to gauge interest in a "Thranduilion Interactive "Letter Exchange" Game. The consensus seems to be that people are interested in playing, but I still need to work out the basic guidelines before I can get it started.

The background story to the whole initiative: in Third Age 560, Thranduil and Maereth decide to open an extra avenue of communication between them, their people (whose population is booming throughout the vast forest), and even outsiders from allied kingdoms, by inviting them to write letters to any member of the royal family.

The ficlet features Feren and his twin sister, my OC Celuwen, who has been appointed as secretary to the royal family. Feren finds a stressed-out Celuwen sorting through piles and piles of letters received from all over the realm, indicating the success of the initiative. Feren tries to reassure his sister that the family will welcome the amount of correspondence they have committed to personally answering. The twins also share a chuckle over some of the more unusual and amusing contents of the letters. (These are Silvans we're talking about--they don't always hold back.)

Thank you for Asking! <3

Cyberpunk 2077 Themed S/I Ask Game!

this could work for cp2077 ocs too! feel free to rb and use as you see fit for your characters, but do try your best to practice rb karma! and proship dni, this isn't for you.

A Day in the Life: They say looks are everything in Night City, so what does your S/I look like? Hair, tattoos, eyes, all of that. Who are they and what made them like that? Give us the most basic overview of your character. Do their looks contrast with their personality at all?

I Can See Clearly Now: Adding onto the last question, let's talk cybernetics. Does your S/I have any chrome? Why or why not? If so, what kinds do they have and what purpose does it serve? Additionally, how did they get that chrome? Do they have a ripperdoc that they trust, or was it some shady hack-job?

Double Life: Corpo, Street Kid, or Nomad? Or none at all? Where does your S/I come from and how did they end up in Night City (assuming they're there at all)?

Chippin' In: Out of the in-game radio stations, what's your S/I's favorite radio station? In general, what kind of music do they like? Do they stay up to date with new tracks or do they like the classics?

I Walk The Line: How is your S/I in terms of morals? Do they try to do the right thing in sticky situations, or do they not hesitate to shot a gonk without warning? Is there such a thing as having a heart in a place like Night City?

Beat on the Brat: How does your S/I feel about combat? Do they like it, tolerate it, or hate it? Additionally, what's their weapon of choice? A blade, a firearm, quickhacks, or something else completely? Also, are they into weapon mods?

Queen of the Highway: What's your S/I's preferred form of transportation? Do they have a sweet ride that they love to bits and pieces, or a tired ol' ride that's barely hanging out? Or none of those at all and prefer the metro or just going on foot?

With A Little Help From My Friends: Is your character a lone wolf, or do they have a crew of friends that they always stick with? What are their relationships like and around whom do they spend their time (if anyone)?

Sweet Dreams: What does your S/I dream of? What is their motivation to get out of bed every morning? What do they want from life? Are they fine with flying under the radar and living a relatively normal life, or do they want to make a statement?

Disasterpiece: Wild card! Tell us whatever the hell you want about your character! A random piece of lore, their go-to hobby, their favorite pizza order... Surprise us!

"The Masks We Wear" for a fake fic title

Zerilliam mayhaps? 😏

Hiya Camy! Ooo let’s see 👀!

“ Zera Cassia is the young heiress to a multi-million dollar company that is currently in crisis due to her father falling ill. William Vangeance on the other hand, is the bastard son of the current CEO to a once failed but now ‘skyrocketing’ company. Despite the two companies being competitiors, Zera and William have never once met each other. At least, not until one evening during a masquerade ball where Zera decides to boldly announce the two are to be married in order to get away from some…very unsuitable suitors. Oh, and did I also mention that the two companies are covers for their respective family’s mafia businesses?”

🟡🔴 for Erethrinél pleeease :)

Woooo these got lengthy but this was actually reaaaalllyyy helpful to think through and get into words!!!

🔴 Red- What is a trait your OC has that those around them don't see very often? Is it seen by a rare few or completely overlooked?

Erethrinél is actually very afraid all the time. Afraid of being forgotten again, of waking up and realizing none of this was real either, of being so far out of time, in a world ae doesn't recognize, beyond the expected strangeness of travel between planes...

So much time has passed even the most mundane things can trip aer up. You expect the semantic drift, recontextualized gestures, changes in courtesy and custom, but fundamental changes in how folk see and understand the universe? Some guy says, "by the spheres" in awe and it crashes into Erethrinél that the world tree is a distant smudge on the horizon of history. Of course the planes are interlocking spheres, everyone knows that. Same as everyone knew the branches of the world tree supported and connected the planes when ae was young. Maybe they still do, and Erethrinél is merely dreaming of the spheres, and that is why sometimes nothing makes any sense at all.

So there's that panic, that white knuckle fear below the surface, and aer buffoonery and mercurial attention covers it quite well. Ae may joke about how these whippersnappers have all kinds of crazy new slang, or take off on a tangent about interplanar travel and theoretical models thereof, but to those who care to see, the thread is there.

I suspect it will be seen by a rare few, namely those party members who will be portrayed by my close friends who love to psychologically torment each other through ttrpgs. Affectionately. In particular, I think Silence, our tiefling rogue, will cut through the bullshit. She will be on bs cutting duty a lot due to the other two being an unhinged robot/magical weapon learning to love and an unhinged halfling politician who is running for mayor of space. Fair to say Rodd and Phineas will be seeing the soft underbelly of Erethrinél's deep fears only when they stumble over it in jest.

🟡 Yellow- What is something your OC wants but knows they can never have? How does it feel to never get this specific desire?

Total self knowledge. Ok this is making me really see what pieces of myself are getting examined by this character and OOF. Putting my own identity issues back behind the oc facade, Erethrinél would desperately love to have clarity about what the fuck has happened over the last ??? years. What happened to the people/relationships who failed to save aer? What was just dreams and what was real from those twilight years, hazy and indistinct? But beyond the facts of aer history, the larger question: who was I? Am I still that person? If I dwell on it too much will I turn back into them? Would that be good or bad? What were the choices that brought me here and why did I make them? Who am I now if I don't feel connected to my own story?

Ok ok and how does that feel? Well, going in to the story, Erethrinél is only dimly aware that this is what ae wants, let alone that ae can't have it. But when that shoe drops there will be despair and nihilism and impotent anger. But growing from that... hopefully acceptance, not just of not knowing, but acceptance that it doesn't matter overmuch. Power of friendship and all that nice stuff :) We shall see!

Hello, before we start Vermin's arc on January 13th I'd like to remind old followers and show new followers that we have a discord!

We mostly use it for art and OCs but there are channels specifically made for games featuring a narrator of some kind or games similar to them (most of which are listed on the tags)!

Please feel free to join, no one bites.. okay most people don't bite.

Mers OR diary of a lonely traveler! Dealer’s choice!! (This is wandering_nushroom lmaoo)

How about some of both?

Here's the mers:

Kai's first goal was to get the gun. He threw his whole weight on the man's arm, aiming the gun away from himself as he did it. The man had been holding his finger against the trigger and the gun fired. The bullet shot off harmlessly into the forest. Not expecting the attack, the man let the gun slip out of his hand. Kai grabbed it and fell on the ground. He rolled out of the way and rose into a crouch, not sure what to expect next. He had the gun now but he wasn't entirely sure how to use it.

The man advanced towards him. Kai waited until the man lunged at him, rolling under the man's arm to dodge the attack. Kai realized his best chance would be to run. He took off while he had a chance.

The cliff was close. Kai pushed himself as hard as he could, trying to beat the man chasing him. It was possible the man would try to follow him off the cliff but Kai had the advantage once he hit water. He planned on swimming to the village beach and warning Mano and Keala. The three of them could take refuge in the caves by Tanau Island, maybe they could wait it out under the water for a few hours or days.

And a snippet from Diary of a Lonely Traveler from the last part of Neil's second year on the run.

We stopped in a town in Austria called Zell am Ziller for food and Mom got some supplies from the market there. Then we found a hotel and Mom had me help her patch up her leg better. It wasn't as bad as it could have been except that the bullet went all the way through which means there are two places she was bleeding from. We got her bandaged and then she said she needed to sleep for a bit. It was probably a little after lunch time. She slept until it started getting dark, which is a really long time. Then we saw a bunch of cars pull into the parking lot and Mom thought she recognized some of the people. We jumped out of the window again, which was harder since we were on the second floor.

6, 12, 30 for the writing asks ^_^

6. What’s the last line you wrote?

Shaking its head in what seems like disbelief before meeting his eyes again, almost like it wants to say something before it makes a noise like a growl, "oh, you're one of those seraphs, aren't you. A star-eater. No wonder you act like you've lost your mind."

(ignore that that's a couple sentences, the Thought is important)

12. Do you outline your fics?  If yes, how detailed are your outlines?  How far do you stray from them?

Oh yes! I outline my fics thoroughly. Though, I do allowed myself to deviate as much from the outline as I feel like when things go off the rails. Some snippets of planning from a couple fics & concepts:

My outlines are very... One for one. With some exceptions. I tend to basically write a very brief version of the fic and try to get the feelings and words right before I actually write it. This is... Also why it can and will take me a month to write a oneshot. I try to get things Right.

30. How much do you edit your fics?  Do you edit as you write or wait until you finish the first draft?

So! I edit them a bit? I edit while I work, but often I don't really touch anything I've already written unless it's something longer that might be taking a few months to get through. I think the fic I've edited the most is the prologue of Artificial Stars, which was originally a quickly written 2k oneshot into about 5k of actually decent fic.

Usually I don't edit to make something shorter/more concise, since I tend to only come up with more ways to bridge concepts when I go back to it. Also to be fair... There's usually no difference between first draft and final product. I cannot be asked to edit my fics after I write them, I just release them to the birds and pray for the best. (Unless I actually decide to show it to my beta reader in full instead of just sharing snippets as I... usually do.)

Conclusion: Rarely, those thangs are being given to the world as-is unless something is horrifically wrong with them

[jester-creates]

Your list has caught my curiosity.

King of Stories or Traveling Librarian, please.

what would you like to know about these two? How about a fear that grips each of them?

The Traveling Librarian fears that everything he has been through has been a hallucination thought up by his own freezing brain. he fears that one day he will wake up back in his dead, freezing world everything being just a dream.

The King of Stories fears losing that which he loves. It doesn't help when it's already happened once in what he remembers. Of course he doesn't regret what he did to save his daughter. He can live with a little pain if it means she lives.

She’s Imperfect, But She Tries for the ask game? (Song lyric fics my bELOVED)

Thank you anon! I do actually know this song! That's a first for me (but anything from a musical your odds are pretty good I'll know it 😅). However, this isn't a direct lyric fic but I hope you still like it!

No one knows where Bob disappears to every afternoon just after training is over. Most of the other aviators relax in their rooms, hang out in the common area, or head down to the Hard Deck for drinks. Yet like clockwork, Bob is nowhere to be found from 3-5 every day. Finally, the other Daggers decide to figure out this mystery and follow him. To their surprise, he goes to a small hole-in-the-wall dinner on the edge of town and sits down at a booth in the corner alone. Following him inside, they make a big deal about being surprised to see him there, though he looks equally surprised and flustered at the Daggers' sudden appearance. But before he can say anything, a waitress comes over to the table. She is cute, though sort of plain, her hair tied up into a messy bun on top of her head. But it is instantly clear she is the reason Bob comes here every day based on the smile that breaks out across his face. And the waitress smiles back just as brightly. "Hiya, Bobby. Wow! Looks like ya brought the whole gang with ya this time! I'll have ta get more menus!" "T-thanks, Jenna. Sorry about this. I didn't know they'd all be here." "That's ok, honey! The more the merrier!" She winks at him, takes everyone's drink orders, and hurries away. When she is gone, Hangman leans over and whistles. "Way to go, Bob-o. She's a real catch." Bob shakes his head. "It's not like that. Jenna is… She's just a friend. I stumbled on this place a few months ago and stopped for a quick bite and she was just really nice. So, I started coming back and we've gotten close. But she's just a friend," he insists again. Jenna comes back with a tray of drinks. As she sets them down, she gives half of them to the wrong person, spills Phoneix's water, and it turns out she got Rooster a Sprite instead of a Coke. The Daggers exchange side-eyed glances, but Bob never takes his doe-eyed stare off of her. When she rushes off to get some more napkins, Rooster chuckles. "Damn, Bob. You've got it bad for this girl. No offense, but she's not so great at her job. Yet you keep coming back just to see her?" Bob shrugs. "I guess everyone is looking for a perfect person. Someone with no flaws or who never makes mistakes. Jenna isn't that. She's imperfect, but she tries. She always has a smile on her face and remains so upbeat and kind, no matter what happens. And she never gives up or stops trying to make things better. I've never met someone like her…." He trails off in a dreamy sigh as he watches her pick up a stack of menus she had just knocked over. "Bob, just ask her out. You know you want to," Phoenix urges. "It's clear she likes you too." "I-I don't.." Bob blushes a deep red but shuts his mouth as Jenna comes back with the napkins. "Sorry about that! I can be such a klutz sometimes!" When she has cleaned up the water, she places a plate in front of Bob. "And I went ahead and brought yoa your pie, Bobby." She smiles as she turns to the other Daggers. "Every day he comes in here for a slice of the flavor of the day. The boy does love his pie!" "Actually…" Hangman pipes up. "I think he's more interested in something else… or should I say someone else." Bob kicked at Hangman under the table, but missed and hit Rooster instead. He let out a small yelp, but Jenna didn't seem to notice. Instead, her eyes were locked on Bob, a hopeful gleam shining in them. "Oh? Really? Bobby, is there sometin' I can get you?" Gulping audibly, Bob whispers "You…. I mean, would you maybe wanna go out sometime?" Jenna squeals as a smile breaks out over her face. "Boy, do ya know how long I've been waitin' for ya to ask me that?" "You… you have?" "Why sure! I mean, I know our pies are good and all, but honey, no one loves pie enough to come in here every day for months just for that. I was hopin' ya'd eventually get up the nerve to ask me out. But I didn't wanna push ya into it either." She winks at Hangman. "Luckily ya got some really good friends to do that for ya." Bob looks around at the Daggers. "Yeah. Yeah, I do."

send me a made-up fic title and i’ll tell you what i would write to go with it

For your WIP ask game, I (of course!) am always curious about your Rohan work but I’d like to ask about the Bedtime Story WIP with Turhir. I’ve got no idea what that might entail, though anything involving a heroic 7 foot+ tall prince who looks like Sam Heughan is of interest to me!

[Tag List Game]

About: "A Bedtime Story"

Thank you thank you thank you for asking about Turhir! <3 I don't know where I'm going wrong that I can't seem to grow a bigger fanbase for him, but maybe this fic would be a good step towards that! XD (Btw, @from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras: Turhir is also the Thranduilion Prince who was the horse boy of the family and closest ally to the Northmen ancestors of the Rohirrim, so I love that this Ask came from the Rohan Expert. Please consider reading this Yuletide ficlet if that interests you. :))

"A Bedtime Story" is a self-indulgent ficlet that came about because I had a random, slightly spicy dream about Sam Heughan (*insert blush here*), and @asianbutnotjapanese encouraged me to write it out. It's actually more a domestic fluff piece than anything, showing Turhir coming home from a long "work trip" (aka bad-guy hunting) to tuck his children into bed, before enjoying a hard-earned reunion with his "Reader" wife. It shows the duality of his personality--a tough and savage warrior but a gentle and tender family man in one body.

I love being able to inject Eryn Galen's worldbuilding details into "slice of life" stories like this one. I want Readers to see what ordinary life is like for these extraordinary Elven characters, while revealing "big picture" bits of canon and headcanon history.

And yes, the 7-and-a-half-foot tall drink of Hunky Elvish Warrior Water with the face of Sam Heughan is a bonus. :)

[wildfairies]

who are ur favorite bg3 characters? what's ur favorite quest/area? also can we hear more about the druid tav u posted about?

HI ANON!!! tysm for the questions 🥺💞🫶🏼💘��

lae'zel and wyll, and halsin's climbing up there!

the house of hope! i rly love it for some reason. the ritual to get there, the rescue mission, the gorg and decadent setting, the creepiness of the debtors, etc.

YES she's my current obsession but i haven't been locketposting like i should!!! i caved and started using a level 20 mod just for her bc i wanted to multiclass. i made her a pinterest board!

she's a circle of spores druid and twilight cleric of eilistraee. she's isilmnir'el (from this mod) so basically she was a drow priestess of eilistraee until she fell to lolth, & i don't have the specifics nailed down here but she basically "slept" for a long time and was twisted by eilistraee's fall into a drow/tiefling-like being. eilistraee only returned about 3 years ago at the time of bg3 so locket basically "woke up" super confused & sad but has been seeking info on eilistraee's return.

she seems pretty weird and spacey at first meeting and was kind of an outsider even amongst her fellow priestesses because of her dreamy, slightly aloof demeanor. but she's really warm and generous once you get past that. she loves dancing, music, mushrooms, deer, moths, sunmelon, spiders, making jewelry, graveyards, freckles, riddles, and getting lost. withers just mocked her for being single but she has a big crush on halsin 👀

For this ask game: Blue, Violet, Twelve

(this looks really fun, might borrow this ask game format for myself if that's okay?)

No ship name, because this is Kat and Atem with the following prompt:

Results below the cut!

Atem felt cold horror wash over him as those blue eyes glittered in excitement for a brief moment before turning in his direction.

“Want to see what kind of trouble we can get into?” Kat asked while grinning like the little devil she was.

“Oh gods, we're going to die, aren't we?”

“It's a Tuesday. I know how to restrain myself,” Kat stated with a dismissive wave.

Atem mocked a laugh.

“You absolutely do not.”

Kat leaned her head towards him, smiling mischievously.

“Come on…you know you want to…” she sang.

Atem grumbled under his breath, asking why he keeps doing this to himself.

“...you’re paying for the repairs.”

Kat sat up straight and clapped excitedly.

“Yay! So, I was thinking, you’ll cast Divine Shield and run in to gather all the whelps, then I’ll  DPS them down while you keep their focus.”

“I regret this decision already,” Atem stated as he hit the spell macro on the keyboard and ran into the room, gathering the aggro of as many of the dragon whelps as possible.

A volley of arrows rained down, reducing the HP of several whelps down to zero.

More and more whelps appeared, slowly whittling away at his own character’s HP.

“Can you hurry up?” he asked irritably.

“Can’t. I’m dead.”

Atem turned the view on the screen to see Kat’s in-game avatar laying on the ground.

“I told you we were going to die…” he grumbled in frustration.

“Just kidding!” Kat said playfully as her character jumped up.

A repetitive volley of arrows took out the rest of the whelps.

Atem leaned back in his chair and sighed while Kat’s character on-screen began running around and looting everything.

“...right…I forgot…Feign Death…” he said in exasperation.
