Failure and Fear for the oc ask game! For all of them 👀

Thank you anon you just made my day!!!!! Okay!!! Here we go

failure: What's your OC's greatest failure? Have they been able to move past it? Does anyone else know about it?

Haven: Honestly, Haven doesn't have one Great Failure to look back on. He's only been alive for a year, and has spent a lot of that time running around and putting out fires. I think he has a lot of little failures, like anyone (normal bad choices, or choices that seemed good but weren't) but he tries not to dwell on them!

Roka: As a child/young adult, Roka was raised to become a priestess for her village's cult. She sacrificed her best friend to her goddess, only to later learn that her goddess wasn't real at all, just an undead fairy taking advantage of the credulous villagers. She has NOT moved on, and has bent her whole life to getting revenge on this fae creature that wronged her. The whole DnD party, Haven included, knows about this, but she's pretty cagey about it to everyone else.

Nona-Paloma: After a disastrous battle in the faewild, her adventuring party struck a deal with some unseelie fae in order to not get fully murdered. They all tried to be careful, but got bamboozled by wording, and accidentally traded away the life of their cleric. Nona isn't the type to get stuck though, she's moved on from feeling bad and into the "trying to fix it" phase. She's bad at secrets so she'll tell anyone who asks what happened.

fear: What is your OC's greatest fear? What do they do when confronted with it? Are they open with their fear, or do they hide it away?

Haven: He's is afraid of so so so many things. He's afraid of being alone, afraid of water and boats, afraid of dying again, afraid of his friends getting hurt. More than anything though, he's afraid he won't be able to succeed on his quest to save the person who's body he inadvertently stole. He tries to hide all this but is terrible at it.

Roka: Roka's whole being is focused on vengeance, I don't think she really has space to be afraid anymore. The worst possible thing already happened to her, she was tricked into murdering her best friend and saw her whole civilization get destroyed. Under it all, she might be a little afraid that her wife, Maebe, hates her for running off on her murder quest, but she doesn't think about that too much.

Nona-Paloma: Despite being an adventurer, Nona's fears are mostly little mundane things, like spooky dolls and heights and getting brutally murdered. She sort of coasts through life and doesn't let much get to her.

I'M FUCKING CRYING LMAOOO

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)
