Somtimes a found family is a socially akward and very anxious android, a grumpy, divorced, middle-aged man who liked blues music and a tall lady in a gigantic coat and an even lager hat who probably drinks wine 24/7

ooh i love androids

For the ask-game: Midori/The real Sour Hiyori?

first impression - I think that I thought he was like ... Shin in the future?? like some popular fanon? I didn't realize he was an Actual Character til I saw him on Kai's laptop and that's ... definitely a chilling introduction, considering everyone's reactions. impression now - it's just me, my trusted circle of people, and our utter normalness about Midori against the world. incredibly fun and electric character, but good god does he attract the strangest types of people in fandom you never would have thought existed. fun to dissect him regardless. even more fun to draw. favorite moment - he steals the show Every time he's on screen, so this is a tough choice, but the War of Words in the Russian Roulette holds a special place in my heart for how funny it is. it's the equivalent of Midori trying to solve a math problem and Sara just shouting random numbers at him. love seeing him lose his shit. idea for a story - I wanna see how he is in the ASU-NARO office behind the scenes. worst group of people ever trying to plan an elaborate Death Game sounds like a great prompt for a sitcom. unpopular opinion - I do Not wanna know anything about a backstory for Midori. any sort of explanation for Why He's Like This would make him less interesting in my opinion; I love characters who are just Freaks for no apparent reason. I wouldn't mind learning how he got involved in ASU-NARO (big fan of the theory his parents are also agents tho, leading to him growing up in this fucked-up environment (and therefore serving as a very nice foil to Kai and Hinako ... )) but anything beyond that is unnecessary imo. favorite relationship - him and the drill that kills him <3 on a more serious note, him and Keiji have a wonderful antagonism that showcases the latter's development super nicely; Keiji goes from responding to Midori's provoking language with murderous violence to seeing straight through his fumbling pleads in the Russian Roulette. he's able to not only keep a cool head, but also deliver one of the best lines in the game. it's incredibly satisfying. favorite headcanon - I loooove anything design-wise that stresses the inhuman. a personal favorite of mine is cracks down the side of the face he got impaled through, akin to a porcelain doll ... I imagine they get worse and spread under stress.

OC Questionnaire Tag!

Thanks for the tag, @anyablackwood (here)!

I'll go with Deimos Soll from Supernova Initiative, Lady Vivaldah Lariach from The Forgotten Ones, and Kane Mylestrom from Song of Thorns!

Your OC Questions:

What is a thing that would break your trust in a person immediately?

What is your favorite animal? Have you ever had a pet/or want one?

Who do you look up to the most?

If you were to wake up in another universe, what is the one thing you would take with you?

Deimos: "My sniper rifle, or food. One of those two options, it depends on what hypothetical 'universe' I happen to wake up in."

Vivaldah: "My sister's necklace, which is also the sigil of our House. It's one of my most prized possessions."

Kane: "I wouldn't call my dragon a 'thing', because she is a sentient and mighty being who deserves all the respect, but yes, I would take my dragon with me."

2. What kind of person pisses you off the most?

Deimos: "People who think they can do anything to others just because they have the power to - snobbish tyrants who think it's their birthright to screw others over. Also, people who objectify others or who think torture is 'okay' just because they think it's justified for a 'greater cause' are a kind person that makes my blood boil immensely."

Vivaldah - "Those who justify cruelty in the name of their 'Gods', and who think they can kill anyone whom they consider 'heretics' just for thinking differently than them. I also hate people who are rude and who like to make fun of others."

Kane - "Cowards and people who turn tail and run at the first sign of trouble, along with liars, manipulators and people who have no moral compass. I also despite royals who consider their subordinates as pawns to be manipulated and discarded once we're no longer of 'use.'"

3. How often do you dream? Are they usually dream-dreams, or nightmares?

Deimos: "Well let's see: I was kidnapped from my homeworld by slavers when I was sixteen, escaped, and grew up as a street urchin - with the duo who became my adoptive siblings - on one of the most crime-ridden moons of our galaxy, and then, as an adult, was captured by an insane warlord who tried to torture me into being her living puppet weapon. So... you can imagine the kind of 'dreams' I have are far from pleasant most nights."

Vivaldah: "I used to have the sweetest dreams in the past. When I was just me being a princess who lived in a rosy-tinted world, sheltered in my family's ancestral palace. Then the Iron Inquisition came. Now my sleep is haunted by the memories of the day my family was slaughtered by them."

Kane: "Eh. I'm not the kind that usually has a lot of dreams, and when I do they're usually the most nonsensical, stupid mess that makes me question my life and sanity, and then wake up and not remember anything about that dream in the morning. So. My dreams aren't bad, they're just weird and I rarely remember most of them."

Make Yourself Write Tag Game

So I've had three cool tags in the last two days: a character voice tag game from @thewritingautisticat here and @tildeathiwillwrite here and a neat OC question game here, but since what I really needed was a tag to make me stop procrastinating and actually work on this chapter, I've turned them into a 'write three new lines' tag so I can't get away with not writing at least three lines today.

"Oh!" exclaimed Elisewin, knocking into him hard from behind; then - "Oh," she said again as she caught sight of the hidden stairs. Only the first dozen steps were visible; after that, they rounded a curve, and, presumably, wound on out of sight. A somewhat ominous view, and one that, like the rest of the courtyard, Renathal found inexplicably, discomfitingly familiar...

Tagging @amewinterswriting @saltysupercomputer @magic-is-something-we-create @pb-dot @sekhithefops to do one of the cool games in the links above or write three sentences on your current WIP and post them - whatever you need in your life right now.

nine people i'd like to know better tag

thank you @stanzasbysloan for tagging meee!

last song: Playing With Fire - Brennan Story (I love a good bit of redneck rock)

favorite color: Green! Any and all greens but mostly moss/forest green. I am truly a forest deity at heart

currently watching: I realised I'd missed a whole two seasons of American Horror Story so I binged them. Also binged The Witcher but i refuse to finish season three because I'm not emotionally prepared for Geralt to be a Hemsworth so I've been playing the game instead 😅

spicy/savoury/sweet: Spicy food and savoury snacks :)

relationship status: taken and fully down to steal his last name and birth his kids lmao

current obsession: I don't know how to not hyperfixate on a hobby or piece of media so i am obsessed with ✨a lot of things✨

And I wanna tag @rcsthewriter @kaylinalexanderbooks @to-be-a-rose @talesofsorrowandofruin @agirlandherquill @clairelsonao3 @saltysupercomputer @revenantlore aaaaand @mjjune

don't feel obliged, I just don't have that many moots rn 😅

[theimperiumchronicles]

Happy spooky WBW! Today, I wanna ask about omens in your world. Do they exist? Are they believed in? Religiously, spiritually, or otherwise?

I know it's not Wed, and I know it's after Halloween, but for me "spooky season" extends all the way to Thanksgiving...so.... Answer below cut

@theimperiumchronicles - This is kind of a given. Yes. I mean...look at that world.

@the-andromeda-effect - Not really. They are purely human. They are a bit superstitious, but not really.

@battlegroundofdreams - Kind of. It's hard to explain. Superstitions again mostly.

@devil-in-the-details-ay - Oh yeah, there are omens upon omens. They are definitely believed in and feared. There are rarely good ones.

@behindthesemasks - YES! OH FUCK YES! Voodoo baby! Good, bad, just existing. There are messages from the ancestors. They will become more prevalent as the story goes on, but ooooohhh yes.

@bendingthelaws - Like @the-andromeda-effect, not really. Superstitions a little bit. They are human and there is no real magic.

@inopinatus-ea - Yes. Why and what kind will become more apparent later. There is magic, lots of it. And there are oracles. The oracles will point out the omens.

@magical-mistakes-vm - Does Vollrath have a temper? *smirk*

@mystsoftime - Yes. As you figure out what gods are in play and how, the omens become more visible. The players in the game will see them as they happen.

@tapperhet-em - Yes. There are gods and beings in play that will leave clues for the humans to find.

@princess-of-thieves-id - Of course! What good seaman doesn't believe in omens?

@whileyouwait-dm - Yep! Now, they might not always be caught until it's too late, but they are there.

Now...make sure you're paying attention so you too can try to catch them in the writing. *wink* @saltysupercomputer @pheita @frostedlemonwriter @watermeezer

wip anagram tag

thanks to @cljordan-imperium for the tag! I'm passing this onto @did-i-do-this-write , @sparrow-orion-writes , @half-hell , @saltysupercomputer and anyone else who wants to join in! your word is water

rules: find a sentence of your wip beginning with each letter of the selected word

my word was friend, and somehow, I managed to pull all of these from dream warrior

F - Frankly, I was a little scared. More frankly, I was pretty much convinced that something was going to happen, and that wasn't helping the state of my thoughts at all.

R - Ridiculous as it sounded, that's exactly what I wanted from him, or a debunk declaration that I wasn't bleeding in the slightest, but part of me didn't think I was going to get that one.

I - Incredibly long, and thinner than anything should be, with wide, searching eyes the colour of quartz stones, and a grin that far transcended the shadows it lurked in.

E - Eventually, he came back with, "Mr Crow, you were out of action for almost two and a half hours…" and I didn't know why I ended up being so surprised by that, but I was.

N - Now, I'm no ill-researched kinda guy. I know what oneiromancy is.

D - Days passed in what seemed like a matter of moments, and before I knew it, I was taking the first train of the day down to the research facility, watching the sunrise through the window.
