Writing Questionnaire Tag

Thank you for the tag @the-inkwell-variable @the-golden-comet and @wyked-original-writing

I have divided the questions between different characters.

1st set are for Yin Jian and Luo Xingchen from The General's Bride from beloved inkwell♡♡

1. If you could kill someone with zero consequences, would you do it?

Jian: "No. To take a life, even without retribution, stains the soul. There are other ways to undo a person without resorting to bloodshed."

Luo Xingchen: "Yes. But only if they deserved it and posed a threat to what I’ve sworn to protect. Mercy can be weakness in the wrong hands."

2. What kind of crimes are okay to do, in your opinion?

Jian: "Crimes of survival-stealing bread for the starving, trespassing to escape danger. Laws are not absolute; their worth is measured in justice, not in their mere existence."

Luo Xingchen: "Breaking laws that don't make sense. Sometimes rules exist only to control, not to protect."

3. Instant ramen or fancy ramen - which is better?

Jian: "Fancy ramen, of course. The care and time spent crafting each element speaks to the devotion of the chef. I don't know what Instant ramen is. Though I admit, I've never tried the instant variety. Should I?".

Luo Xingchen: "What the hell is Instant ramen? "Fancy ramen is fine for a special occasion, but when you're starving in the middle of nowhere, a quick bowl of Simple Ramen is unbeatable. Besides, it's less pretentious."

The 2nd set is of Liang Wenqing and Jin Tao from The Ghostly Aria

1. What location is always considered a home to you?

Liang Wenqing: "The opera house, despite its age and decay. Its stage, its back halls—every corner breathes with the history of my ancestors. I was born into this tradition, and even though the world is changing around me, the opera house feels like the only place where I am truly myself."

Jin Tao: "Home for me has always been the small, cluttered office I keep at the precinct. It’s not grand, but it's where I make sense of things. It’s where I can think clearly, even when the city around me is changing faster than I can keep up with."

2. Do you enjoy traveling with company, or alone?

Liang Wenqing: "I prefer being alone, especially when I’m on the road for performances. There’s something about traveling by myself that helps me focus on my art. But when I perform, I am never truly alone—the voices of past singers and the ghosts of forgotten opera fill the empty spaces around me."

Jin Tao: "I prefer traveling alone. I find that company often distracts me, especially in a city like this where every street corner is full of people pushing their own agendas. I need to observe and think—when I’m alone, I can truly see what’s around me."

3. How many landmarks in your world have you visited? Were they fun? Horrifying? A place to remember?

Liang Wenqing: "I have seen many of the grand buildings of the city—factory chimneys rising like iron giants, the bustling markets, the riverside where the smoke of industry lingers in the air. But the only landmark I truly remember is an old, crumbling temple I stumbled upon when I was young. It was a place of both beauty and horror—whispers in the wind, shadows that seemed to move. I’ve never forgotten it."

Jin Tao: "I’ve seen many parts of this city—factories, bustling marketplaces, the wharves by the river. But the one place that sticks in my mind is a narrow alleyway near the edge of the industrial district. I stumbled upon it while chasing a suspect. It was dark, filled with the smell of smoke and oil, and the sounds of the city seemed muffled there. It was a place that reminded me how far we’ve strayed from the old world. Not a fun place, but one I’ll never forget."

The 3rd set is for Alva, Ames, Corey and Winter from In Monochrome

1. What brings you the most comfort?

Alva: “The quiet hum of the coffee shop in the morning. When everything’s calm, and there’s no rush, that’s when I feel at peace.”

Ames: “The smell of paint on canvas, especially when it’s fresh. The moment when the first stroke of a new piece touches the surface—that’s when everything feels right.”

Corey: “Being wrapped up in a cozy blanket with a good book and a cup of tea. There’s something about being in my own little world that makes everything seem okay.”

Winter: “Being outside in the cool air, especially when it’s dusk and the light turns golden. I love that feeling of the world settling down, just before night falls.”

2. Do you enjoy the warmth of the sun?

Alva: “I do, but not too much. Just enough to warm me up when it’s chilly outside. It’s like a gentle reminder that things will be okay.”

Ames: “I prefer to paint in the quiet, but I do enjoy the soft warmth of the sun through the studio windows. It feels like the light is bringing my art to life.”

Corey: “I don’t mind it, but sometimes I feel like the sun is too much. It’s bright and intense, like everyone’s watching. I prefer the quieter, softer days.”

Winter: “The sun’s warmth is great, especially after a long, cold day. I like to just lie there, soak it up, and forget everything for a while.”

3. What’s your favorite meal?

Alva: “Anything with pasta, especially a rich, creamy Alfredo. There’s something comforting about the way it melts in your mouth.”

Ames: “I like something simple, like warm bread with butter, something you can savor slowly while you’re thinking. It doesn’t need to be fancy, just real.”

Corey: “A classic grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. It reminds me of childhood, of being safe and taken care of.”

Winter: “I’m all about a hearty stew, something with root vegetables, meat, and thick broth. It’s warm, filling, and something that sticks with you all day.”

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! (ू•���̫•ू⑅)♡

Hey!

Thank you so much for this nice ask 🥹❤️❤️❤️

I'm always happy when I'm getting this! (this is the 0. 🤣❤️)

1. Good food

Trying new foods and drinks fed not just my stomach but my inner child too who were always jealous of others to go home and eat a nice lunch and dinner and I was hoping we'd have some bread at home. I AM ALWAYS GLAD I have food and even can try many many types. And also sharing it with friends.

2. Spending time with friends

It doesn't matter if we just sit on a couch all weekend and watch movies. If we go to a restaurant to eat together. To take a walk at the riverside. To talk about nonsense or cry about life. Sipping some wine/tea together on a chilling August night in a small place. Standing in a line for 10+ hours to see a concert together. Sharing a room and seeing who'll doze off first while we share stories hours after we say good night. No matter what are we doing. Still, we are together all the moments are precious. Even if I am not saying or showing all the time I am so glad I have all these good friends in my life. I am lucky to have them.

3. Spending time with cats

I can't spend much time at home where my 9 babies are living their best life. But when I am home we cuddle all the time to give and receive love. ❤️ Cats (and pets) are real angels.

4. Enjoy music

On live, on speakers, on headphones... Music is the painkiller for the soul prescribed for life.

5. Spending time alone

As much as I love to spend time with my beloveds, I need some time just for myself. Need to make myself happy, forgive me for my mistakes, bring myself to "dates" and befriend myself. I am the one who will be there for me in my whole life, it is my job to make myself happy with small wonders. 💪❤️
