ship traits and picrew!

tagged by @a-treides and guys i know i always say these are long and under the cut for that reason but i really couldn't shut the fuck up on this one so. you have been warned <3 i talked about 11 ocs and a couple of them have multiple partners

tav khoury & raphael (baldur's gate 3); so this is kind of a mix of "canon" end where she kills him and "bad end" where they actually get "together" (read: are insane).

height difference (i am So normal about how much taller his cambion form is than her (lie)) / mutual pining / first kiss / wedding / in-jokes / lgbtq+ (diveristy win! the worst two people in the world are bisexual) / family disapproves (i feel like their whole thing gives mephistopheles heartburn and that's before we get into the crown of karsus bit) / would die for each other / would kill for each other (and have <3) / fake relationship / arranged wedding / cuddlers / pda friendly (exhibitionist weirdos <3) / and they were roommates / holding hands / secret relationship / opposing worldviews / getting a pet / have kids / want kids / grow old together / relationship failures / rests head on shoulder / share a bed (they don't talk about it) / relationship doubts / they have a song (they probably each write one bc they're bards and refuse to acknowledge the other's as anything other than copying, regardless of who wrote it first. raphael's is better but tav performs hers better, probably) / first date / sharing a blanket / mutual interests (do not let me get started on this one i'll explode.) / study buddies / bathing together / crash into hello / accidental nudity / laundry / same hobbies / cooking for each other / big fancy gala (the things these two have gotten up to in dark corners at fancy galas in my wips. good lird) / forehead touches / hair stroking / sitting on each other’s laps / sexual tension / can’t be together (if gale being cured of the orb didn't necessitate the crown tav would have been Crazy even in her canon end. her morals aren't That good. but unforch. she befriended gale first.) / battle couple / Friends to Lovers / Enemies to Lovers (but only Barely. he kidnaps her when they first meet, she threatens to kill him, but both of them leave that initial conversation feeling largely positive about each other because they're weird.) / Lovers to Enemies / keeping secrets (her, not him. he's weirdly honest and that drives miss "never failed a deception check" insane) / love after loss (but worse!) / exes / declaration of love (only in bad end but my God does tav fucking go for it there) / flirting / love triangle (only barely. it's entirely dependent on One thing and there's not like an Ongoing Competition. tav's poly she just can't have both because it requires her to reject or lean into Bonkers worldviews) / destructive romance (it ain't called bad end because tav has a positive impact, i'll say that much) / envy / “I Don’t Want to Ruin Our Friendship” / shared values (truly insane the degree to which this happened by accident. by the way) / slow burn / does not end well / happily ever after / love letters (they're both bards. they get Poetic with it)

tav khoury & astarion (baldur's gate 3); just like above, a mix of "canon" end where they're freaks having their happily-ever-after and "bad end" where he ascends and uhh she doesn't like that to put it mildly. but not on moral reasons she dgaf about the seven thousand souls.

[sunsetcarnation264]

Marino might be the most responsible one of the decuplets, the one they always leaned on, but Marino has his share of problems and things that bother him as well.

Unlike everyone else, though, he keeps them buried and bottled up. He has to be strong and the one the other siblings lean on, he can't let himself be vulnerable around them. He feels emotions like anger and sadness, of course he's not hiding those at all, but any problems he has?

He doesn't tell his siblings about them. Maybe some to Soma, but not everything.

Marino knows he shouldn't bottle things up like that, but he can't be so vulnerable in front of them, especially not in front of Kaminari, not when they need him the most.

Of course he could vent to Antauri, Chiro, Gibson, Nova, Otto, and Sprx, but haha admitting something's bothering him who? Dunno her! He needs to be acquainted with that though because he needs it

[betseycade123]

Betsey is startled by the sudden hand, but seeing it was Mary she leaned more into her touch and rested her head on her hand. Shrugging, not really answering the question.

*a soc named Thomas walks up to you* hey kiddo what ya doing out here all alone? It's not safe out here what's your parents

Betsey stares at the man for a second unsure of what to say, Johnny always warned her about the socs and walking alone. She shrugs. “I dunno..” she shuffles and kicks her feet, avoiding eye contact.

Bruised Fruit Chapter 2 (Michael Corleone x OC)

Summary: Gloria isn't sure she'll ever understand Michael, experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions and mixed signals from him the night he introduces her to his children for the first time.

Note: Chapter 3 will be posted in the next few days. I appreciate the support on here and AO3 on this series so far!

Warning: This chapter depicts a PTSD-induced night terror at the end. It’s actually not advised to wake someone from that, but this is the 1950s/60s and mental illnesses aren’t well understood, so there’s no way for Gloria to know best practices when dealing with this.

Do not interact if you are under 18 or post thinspo/ED content. I will block you.

Chapter 1 | AO3 Link | Masterlist

“I don’t understand, the reservation should be there,” Gloria said, trying to abate her frustration with the man at the front desk. “It was confirmed last night.”

Having spent five years working at a resort, she knew how hectic it could get, things fell through the cracks all the time. She just wished it hadn’t been right after she cleaned out her apartment, worked her last shift at the casino, and then drove eight hours from Vegas to Lake Tahoe. 

Tom had assured her the reservation had been made and she’d be staying at the hotel for a few weeks. He’d been dealing with Michael’s divorce filings and thought that despite Kay’s transgression, it wouldn’t look great for Michael to have Gloria move in so soon. Michael wanted her to join him at the Corleone compound the night after he proposed, but she insisted it’d be too hard on Mary and Anthony to have someone brand new in the house so soon after Kay’s exile. Gloria could just see it, the fear and anger in the childrens’ eyes as their wicked stepmother moved in to take their beloved mother’s place.

“What name did you say the room would be under, ma’am?”

“Marino, Gloria Marino.”

“I don’t see Marino, but I do see a reservation for a Gloria Corleone.”

She sighed. “That would be it. Sorry.”

“Not a problem, Mrs. Corleone. Let me get you your key, and I’ll have someone bring your things to your room.”

Not Mrs. Not quite yet, but she didn’t have the energy to explain the convoluted situation. It wasn’t his business. Instead, she merely exchanged her car keys for the room key. Normally she’d balk at using valet service, but that, among most other things in her life, wouldn’t be coming out of her own pocket anymore.

She never understood Michael’s hang-ups about her cars. One of the reasons she lived in her old apartment in the first place was because it had a private garage rather than a parking lot for tenants. Another thing that she knew would undoubtedly change. The Corleones had drivers.

She didn’t have much time to ponder Michael and his odd hang-ups. In about an hour, a car would arrive to pick her up and bring her to a restaurant to formally meet Anthony and Mary. Her stomach was already somersaulting, leaving her unsure if she’d even be able to eat. 

In her anxious mind, the only way Michael could possibly introduce her would be, ‘Hey kids, this is the woman I’ve been cheating on your mom with for the past four years who somehow has nothing to do with the reason we’re getting divorced.’ What an icebreaker. 

Gloria headed up to her room, a top floor suite with a living room and balcony. In the reflective metal of the elevator doors, she reapplied her lipstick. Her bags had already been brought in, sitting next to the couch. 

A cigarette hung from her freshly red-coated lips as she fiddled with the radio in the room until she landed on a station that played familiar rock n’ roll tracks. Opening her suitcase, she grabbed the navy wrap dress that sat neatly folded at the top, and rushed to change, knowing sprucing up her hair and makeup would take at least thirty minutes. Most of that would be spent on her hair.

As she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, she felt herself become emotional. Gone was the young woman who’d taken any odd back-of-house job upon first arriving at the casino in Vegas, eventually becoming a hostess. There was nothing left for her there, save for a handful of friends. Any other guys she had been seeing, however casually, she made a clean break from. None of those paramours had been nearly as serious as Michael, though. She didn’t think anyone could be as serious as him.

Torn from her wistful reminiscing by the phone ringing, she took a deep breath, picking up to hear that the car had arrived for her. 

Al Neri was waiting in the lobby for her, and she felt better seeing his familiar face.

“Hi Al, how are you?” she asked as they exchanged a greeting kiss on the cheek.

“Can’t complain,” he said. “Michael’s already at the restaurant with his kids. It’s a short drive, though.”

Al wasn’t exaggerating. The drive was disappointingly short, and she barely got to catch up with her fiancé’s right hand man. For as often as she’d seen Al, she didn’t know very much about him. Maybe he preferred to keep it that way.

The upscale steakhouse loomed in front of Gloria as she approached, though the smell coming from the building made her realize how hungry she was. Gloria self-admittedly had an unsophisticated palette, preferring cheeseburgers and steaks over more elaborate dishes that Michael first tried to woo her with at the start of their affair. It helped that apparently Michael’s children were going through their picky eater phases, leaving him outnumbered when it came to restaurant choices.

She didn’t realize how tightly she’d been gripping her purse until her nails began digging into her palm. Stopping in her tracks for a short moment, she took a deep breath, which did little to help her nerves as she continued inside. The host led her over to the table where Michael was already sitting with Mary and Anthony.

Seeing that a glass of rum and Coke was already set at her place for her, she mouthed a silent “Thank you” to Michael as she approached him. He smiled, wrapping his arm around her waist.

“Anthony, Mary, this is my good friend, Gloria,” Michael said.

Gloria smiled. “It’s great to meet you both.”

“Are you best friends?” Mary asked.

“Uncle Tom is dad’s best friend,” Anthony said.

“My best friend is Anthony!”

“You’re not my best friend.”

“Dad, tell Anthony he has to be my best friend.”

Gloria snickered to herself at Mary’s antics, not unlike she and Jackie growing up. The gregarious young girl led most of the conversation, even when dinner was served. She was the only one who could seem to get Anthony involved in any kind of discussion, too.

The service was unusually quick, but of course it would be. Gloria knew the type of warning the staff were given before Michael’s arrival, having heard it plenty of times herself for the various movers and shakers that would come through the casino. The only ones she’d given much of a damn about were Louis Prima and Keely Smith, and even then, she only caught a glimpse of them yakking it up with Johnny Fontaine at the bar.

“I’m gonna be president!” Mary exclaimed, nearly flinging the french fry in her hand across the table. “I’m gonna make bedtimes illegal and you always have to eat dessert before dinner.”

“You have my vote,” Gloria said. 

“No, Gloria needs a bedtime. She turns into a pumpkin after midnight like Cinderella,” Michael joked.

Mary giggled. “The carriage turns into a pumpkin after midnight. Not Cinderella.”

“Boys just don’t know anything about princesses, huh?” Gloria said. “Maybe you’ll have to bring your dad to Disneyland to teach him a thing or two.”

Mary nodded excitedly, rambling about a trip to Disneyland. Michael shot Gloria a playful glare. She took a sip of her drink, relieved Mary seemed to like her enough. She already noticed that Anthony hardly spoke since she arrived, his eyes downcast as he picked at his food. From what Michael had told her, he’d taken the split worse than Mary, who was a bit too young to fully understand. 

Despite Michael’s unspoken goal of his kids regarding Gloria as a mother figure and forgetting about Kay, it wasn’t something Gloria was comfortable with. She knew he was coming from a place of hurt and anger, but his relationship with his kids would suffer long-term by turning them against their mother. Besides, one day they’d learn the truth about Michael and Gloria’s relationship, and their opinions of her wouldn’t be very high after that.

She couldn’t let that stop her from trying to have some kind of relationship with the kids, at least for Michael’s sake. 

“How about you, Anthony?” Gloria asked. “What do you wanna be when you grow up?”

He shrugged. “I don’t know. I like baseball.”

“Who’s your favorite player?”

“Mickey Mantle.”

“What about Joe D?” Michael asked.

“He doesn’t play anymore.”

“My dad has a baseball signed by him,” Gloria tried. “He won it in a raffle, though. I don’t think they’ve ever met.”

Anthony didn’t respond, disinterested in continuing the conversation. She wouldn’t push it, instead letting Mary change the topic to the latest episode of ‘The Mickey Mouse Club’, deciding that if being president didn’t work out, she’d want to be a Mouseketeer instead. 

Dinner pushed on through dessert, each of the kids ordering brownies a la mode. Gloria and Michael stuck with coffee, hers with cream and no sugar, while he drank his black. She never understood how he could stomach it, even with his blood sugar.

Al walked over to Michael, leaning down to whisper something to him.

“Alright kids, time to go,” Michael said, standing to help them put their coats on. “Say good night to Gloria.”

“Night Gloria,” Mary said, waving at her with a smile.

Anthony was quiet until Michael nudged him. “Bye.”

“Good night,” Gloria said, watching fondly as Michael gave each of his children a hug and a kiss on the cheek before they left with Al.

Gloria took a cigarette from her purse, placing it between her lips. Before she could grab the book of matches off the table, Michael held out his lighter mere centimeters from her cigarette, the flame deceivingly large in front of her face. She moved back, and he flicked the lighter shut.

“Where are Mary and Anthony off to?”

“Connie’s watching them for me tonight.”

“Oh, you’re slick. Do the doting dad thing, and then I’ll fall into your bed.”

“You already do that,” he said with a slight smile, lighting his own cigarette. His brown eyes glowed amber in the faint flame, and she found herself caught in his gaze as she leaned closer to him. “Didn’t take much for that to happen in the first place, did it?”

Heat rushed to her face, cheeks ripening from the pink blush she’d applied before dinner to a candy bright red. Their short-lived friendship blossomed into an affair rather quickly. A week before his family joined him in Nevada, he arrived at the casino in Vegas with his service medals in tow. Gloria had lamented upon their third conversation that she’d never seen any of her brother’s awards but had read about Michael’s in the Life article.

As innocently as she could be alone with him in his private hotel room, her fingers brushed each one as he described how he earned them, until reaching his Purple Heart. Almost without thinking, she’d taken the medal from its case and pinned it to the lapel of his black, pin-stripe suit. He’d caught her wrist in his hand, and for a split second she thought the fire in his eyes was anger until he captured her lips in a searing kiss.

“No, it didn’t,” she said, finally breaking from his hold to take a deep inhale before snuffing out her cigarette in the ashtray. 

He reached over, taking her hand in his. “You look beautiful, by the way. Blue always suits you.”

She grinned, her tongue darting out between her lips. “I look even better out of it.” 

“Now who’s slick?”

Smugness radiated off of her, watching Michael wave the waiter over for the check. She missed when her and Michael’s relationship wasn’t so important, at least in the familial sense. Being flirty with him was always fun, but as his future wife, sex carried a sense of duty. Always available and having to compromise to his whims. 

When they stood up from the table, he placed a hand on the small of her back, guiding her outside. As they waited for the car to pull up, Michael kissed her, pulling her close so that her chest was flush against his. She deepened the kiss, her hand on the back of his neck as she slipped her tongue in his mouth.

The rumble of the car engine behind them cut through their embrace. Michael groaned as he pulled away, though Gloria managed to press a kiss to his cheek before they got in the car.

One of Michael’s buttonmen was driving, while Al was in the passenger seat. Michael opened the door for Gloria, sliding into the back seat after her.

“You got something—“ She motioned to her lips.

He rolled his eyes as he pulled the handkerchief out of his suit pocket and wiped at his mouth. “It’s a wonder you’ve never gotten lipstick on my collar.”

“I can try.”

“You have a smart mouth, you know that?”

“I’ve been told,” she laughed, eyes sparkling in the dim lights coming from the dashboard.

Putting his arm around her, he kept her close to his side. She laid her head on his shoulder on the ride back to her hotel, her eyes drifting up to admire his profile. Sharp yet delicate, like the pair of sewing scissors her grandmother had brought over from Sicily, requiring a careful touch but reliable enough to outlast the American-made ones she’d bought. 

Michael’s black hair almost matched Gloria’s, though her tone was cooler, appearing bluish in certain lighting. His eyes were physically lighter than hers, but somehow he was able to expertly channel his emotions through them, at times appearing black as coal, the peek of a fire being fed inside of him.

“We’re here, sir,” the driver announced.

“Where’s your car?” Michael asked as they pulled up to the hotel.

She shrugged. “Wherever the valet parks them.”

An off-hand response to a casual question, Gloria didn’t expect anything more from the conversation. 

“Using a valet while you’re living on your own? Are you out of your mind, Gloria?” His voice boomed in the small space, enclosing her in his rage. 

“I’m sorry. I can pay for it myself if you–”

“That’s not what I mean,” he snapped. “Al, I want her car looked at, only people you trust.”

Al silently nodded, slipping out of the car when it parked in front of the hotel. 

“Michael, what’s gotten into you?”

His jaw clenched, nostrils flaring. “Go up to the room. I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Fine, but if you’re going to bring whatever this attitude is upstairs, don’t bother.”

Before he had a chance to respond, she got out of the car, annoyed and embarrassed by his outburst. She knew he wouldn’t give her an explanation, expecting her to accept his hang-ups without protest because of the nature of his work.

Her fists were clenched the whole elevator ride up to her room. Anyone who had access to the check-in log could see his last name, not hers, under the reservation. Easy enough for a bad actor to catch a glimpse of her room number and target her from there. Instead, he was raging over her car.

She kicked off her heels, ridding herself of her jewelry save for the engagement ring, and finally pulling off her dress and tights until she was only in her slip. Shuffling over to the bed, she laid on top of the covers, her back to the door. 

Michael had always been overbearing, more protective than an extramarital affair warranted, but since he proposed and they became a formal couple, the intensity only became hyper-focused on her. He’d known about the other men she had seen, not pleased, but he had no authority to stop her back then. As far as she was aware, she had been his only mistress, his affection split between her and Kay. Having it all on her was overwhelming.

In her brooding, she hadn’t heard Michael enter until he spoke.

“I’m trying to protect you, Gloria. Things are gonna be a lot different for you from now on.”

She knew it was petulant and childish, but she didn’t respond, merely shifting in her spot on the bed. He sighed. She could hear rustling behind her for a few moments.

“You can’t be so careless, darling. Especially now that we’re engaged,” Michael said, his voice soft as he climbed into bed with her, wrapping his arms around her torso. “There are a lot of people who’ll try to use you to get to me. I don’t want you getting hurt.”

“Alright,” she mumbled. “I’m sorry, tiger.”

Tiger. Her cat-like lover, noble and ruthless, seeking out comfort on his own terms. 

“That’s a nickname I haven’t heard in a while.”

“You just reminded me of one earlier is all.”

He was silent, his hands gently pawing at her stomach. His hot breath fanned over her skin as he buried his face in the crook of her neck. Reaching back, she ran her fingers through his hair, manicured nails scratching at his scalp. He basked in her touch, nuzzling his nose against her.

Though his breathing became steady with a light snore in her ear, she couldn’t sleep. They often traded bouts of insomnia. 

After at least an hour of lying awake, she slipped out of his hold and tip-toed out to the living room so as not to wake him. Sitting on the floor in front of the radio, she tuned in to one of the late-night stations, keeping the volume low. She hummed along to ‘All I Have To Do Is Dream’ a favorite of hers since it first came out two years earlier. Michael didn’t care for the Everly Brothers, nor much of rock n’ roll in general. Considered it raucous and juvenile. 

She closed her eyes and let herself get lost in the music, unsure of how much time had passed when she suddenly heard Michael’s raised voice from in the bedroom. Going in to check on him, her lip trembled at the sight of him. He tossed and turned, distressed babbling continuing on. The covers fell from the bed as he kicked violently at them.

“Fucking bastards—grab the rifle and—”

“Michael,” she called out. “Michael, wake up.”

“They’re moving in—shit!”

She knew better than to grab at him, try to shake him awake. The only time she’d done so, a few months into their relationship, he nearly broke her arm despite being fully asleep. The following morning, he hadn’t remebered a thing but became withdrawn when she explained why her arm was bruised. Fredo had given her two weeks off work afterward, but she knew Michael had asked him to do that.

Shuffling over to the phone in the room, she dialed the front desk, glancing at Michael, still in his troubled state.

“Hello, can you call back here in about two minutes, please?” she asked.

“Is there something you need, ma’am?”

“No, just call back.”

“Of course, ma’am.”

The two minutes waiting for the front desk to call back dragged on endlessly. Gloria felt herself tear up at Michael’s distress, feeling hopeless as ever to help him. She retreated into the bathroom. Her hand shook as she filled a glass of water for him, slipping back into the bedroom. 

The phone rang a few seconds later. She watched her lover hawkishly. He woke up at the noise, chest heaving as he sat up to look frantically around the room.

“What’s going on? Where—“

Gloria standing in the corner, eyeing him cautiously while holding a glass of water, gave him his answer. He groaned, running his hand down his face. 

“It’s okay, nothing happened,” she assured him softly, handing him the glass.

She watched as he drank, rushing to refill the glass after he drained it. When she returned, she sat next to him on the bed, rubbing soothing circles on his back.

“Do you wanna talk?”

He shook his head, setting the glass aside. “You shouldn’t have to see me like this. Having nightmares like a child over things that happened fifteen years ago. Couldn't even find the place on a map anymore if you asked me to.”

“I don’t care.” She pushed back some of his black hair from his forehead, feeling the perspiration that built up on his skin. “I love you.” She kissed the crown of his head, wrapping her arms around him as to cradle him against her chest. 

“You’re going to be a wonderful mother.”

That was what it all came down to, her fiancé’s affection for her so tied to his hope that she could right that wrong, and as she’d later learn, many others.

OC: Marino McGonagall

FANDOM: HARRY POTTER

Faceclaim: James McAvoy

Age: 15—39

Birthday: April 6th

Love interest: Severus Snape

Info:

Marino McGonagall attends Hogwarts school because his mother couldn't see him anywhere else. Stuck between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw just like her and very similarly he was sorted into Gryffindor. There he met his friend group: The Marauder's

[1] When Marino first entered Hogwarts, he used his father's name [McGregor] but adjusted quickly to his mother's name. But after the first wizard war whenever he went into hiding he'd use his father's name

[2] Just like his mother, his Animagus is a cat. Unlike the other marauders he is a registered animagus. His Marauder name is "Whiskers' but he's called something else by each marauder.

'Whisk'—Remus

'Whiskey'—Sirius

'Whiz'—Peter

'Whiskers'— James

This is because James originally gave Mari the nick name to tease him for his Animagus but it became a recurring thing.

[3] James Potter, was the first to befriend and bed Marino McGonagall. While they are indeed close, they are not as close as Sirius and James.

[4] They do however, have a relationship similarly to Remus and Sirius. People all around the campus ship them together and they've definitely shared a few kisses in public as a joke.... (Haha definitely}

[5] When Sirius suggested it was Mari that shared secrets to Voldemort, James was quick to defend him. But he couldn't NOT listen to his brother, to Sirius.

— So similar to being the first one to add him to the group. He was the first to vote him out of it.

[6] Sirius Black started to dislike Mari half way through the Animagus process. Cats and dogs get along rarely and that's how it was between the two.

[7] Sirius Black was behind the rumor that Mari had become a deatheater and ratted out the group clearing Peter from being suspected until he found out the truth himself.

[8] Remus Lupin and Marino McGonagall have stayed close. They were the only two marauders to keep in contact while Sirius was in prison.

[9] Marino was the first to know about Lupins Werewolf transformations and was originally behind the idea of becoming an animagus. While his mother [ Minerva] showed him the process, he'd repeat the process with his friends.

[10] Cats always sniff out the rats. Mari was the first to suspect little Peter as a cruel person. While he saw the good in Regulus and some in Snape, he saw the evil in Peter when the rat started taking more interests in curses.

[11] Peter never truly liked Mari but he did fear him. However despite that, the day that Sirius and Remus were in the shrieking shack with the golden trio( The scene in the POA) Peter pleaded to Mari to spare him rather than the other two.

[12] Lily Evans seemed kind to Mari but she didn't like how close he and James were. Unlike Sirius, it was obvious their relationship wasn't platonic, despite that she was still one of his close friends and went to him or Remus for comfort.

archetype quiz!

tagged by @a-treides and the results are making me So insane so ty for the tag jackie <3 i tag anyone who'd like to do it! answers below the cut

tav khoury, baldur's gate 3; ghost

you seem to think you're the villain. i don't think that you are. i don't know why you'd want to be, either. there is always love and light if you look for it and i think you would enjoy that, if you would let yourself be a part of that world instead of haunting it from beyond the glass. it really isn't much fun to be a villain, but i think you know that. it's easier, sure, than trying to be a good, happy person, but it isn't as much fun. the cool aesthetics only make up for so much.

yeah...act 2 tav having to reckon with the fact that she's doing more than just playacting as a hero at this point, that she may Have to let her walls down to connect with these people the way she's realizing she Wants to. only to commit fully or lean back into old habits depending on how act 3 goes for her...i miss her, i should replay bg3

mari marino, undercover agent; starlet

deeply, you understand beauty—what it is to possess it, to surround yourself in it, to be consumed by it. it's better, isn't it? to create your own world full of lights and glamour than to live in reality with the rest of us? it's like living in a movie. you win, by the way. this is your movie, you're our star. be careful, though, getting too far from reality. it gets more and more difficult to come back, and you've got to, at some point.

this is so funny given that mari's canonical ending is to ditch all her responsibilities to go be spoiled, idle rich with her boyfriend rather than deal with the consequences of her actions. girl is Not coming back to reality <3

evelyn trevelyan, dragon age: inquisition; hero

the hero in a relative sense, anyhow. you have your moments of weakness, but you're the best one for the job. or the only one that wants it. golden child, high aptitude, natural leader, whatever it may be—you've grown used to being favored, to being the best. you walk a fine line and you'll lose yourself to insanity if you aren't careful. you know that, though. it began to dawn on you a long time ago what you've gotten yourself into.

yeah that's her <3 born for responsibility, magic pushing her off to the side, dumb luck pushing her into a spotlight far wider than being heir alone would do...but also wanting that same attention and power, deeply. good, but not selfless to the point of stupidity. if she believed all of what she said, she'd go crazy, but since she's a lot less kind than she plays at, she's quite content.

nesta trevelyan, dragon age: inquisition; lover

[platonic or romantic!] you are so full of love and light; you value the people around you more than anything. i hope you find what you're looking for. i hope you find the right people at the right time and that your world is full of love; i hope your love is returned to you, properly, and that you don't ever get too hurt (because you're prone to it, aren't you?). you deserve that, you deserve the world. i wish you the best. also, i'm serious, read the last lines of the minecraft end poem if you haven't, i think you'll like it.

nesta is so full of love and in a world where all expressions of kindness are seen with suspicion or suppressed by her siblings' efforts. she would be for freedom, for pacifism, for a gentle touch (or a mischievous touch, depending on if she's started seeing sera yet), but her sister as inquisitor is too busy amassing influence to focus on the little people, and that's the GOOD ending (because if her brother gets the anchor, he's not much better than corypheus wrt the whole god complex thing). i need to write an evelyn&nesta thing, horrible sisters who love each other despite it all, they make me crazy

You seem to have a lot of OCs. Do you have like a master list of them or something?

oh god I have so many. 

Most arent considered mains to me, they are more like npcs, which means i probably only have their name and fc prepared. 

I might have a thing here and there about them in my brain and i might have some idea on how they would interact with certain mains but they aren’t as fleshed out as the mains. 

the secondaries can move to man if i start working on them more.

This isn’t all but this is currently all that i have found info on or remembered.

~

* means they moved from secondary to main.

☆ means share names but are different characters.

¤ means they have a canon counterpart but i am making changes.

~

i @’d them if i had a blog though i could have missed a blog or the thing didn’t link them/tag.

also for more homestuck ones go to @trolls-cherubs-and-kids

Italics mean they are on the @la-manada-de-muerte blog.

Bold means they are on the @unafraidofmoonlight blog

~

it will take a while to list them all (both main and secondaries) 

started on 4/9/18 in the evening and finished in the early morning of the 10th.

feel free to ask about any of them and i will do my best to answer!
