Character tag game

Rules: pick four of your favorite characters from four pieces of media and let your tumblr people decide which one most suits your vibe

I was tagged by @lionsaint

my approach to this game is entirely different from yours, haha. It might be harder to pick, but I could not resist making this a list of blorbos ;p

now I gotta tag some folks, but please feel no obligation if you don't feel like doing it ^_^

On the nights when the moon can’t be seen, that’s when it’s hardest. Past the witching hour but miles from false dawn, when the dew is gathering on the cornstalks and the fireflies have gone to bed. When it’s the quiet you can feel in your bones and you can’t get enough air into your lungs. When you part your lips helplessly in the darkness, desperate to get the leaden thing living between your ribs out, but instead the loneliness eases itself in, unfurls itself against your tongue and licks behind your incisors, unwilling to wait for permission. It pushes past your molars slowly, stretches your jaw wide and you don’t want this, not the way it’s being offered, but it is relentless and maybe you deserve this anyway, so you surrender to the inevitability and relax your throat as it glides in and down, past every reflex that makes you want to choke until it nestles next to the dense weight under your breastbone.

It consumes and simultaneously spits you out, swallows you whole and then ejects you up and out into the wide expanse of sky above, a sad pathetic mist of nobody dreams and elsewhere wishes.

And with each inhale you expand, the space inside you growing, each breath like a shimmer-fragile soap bubble, making you lighter and thinner until you feel you could float up and away, a lost helium balloon drifting into the stratosphere. Something without mass, formless, a radio signal emanating out into the vasty nothing, fragmenting and disintegrating until it can’t recall that it once was a transmission, a soul reaching out blindly in the dark to feel less alone.

yo, 10, 11, 12 for canus n nox 🙏

For Nox: 

10. What do they fear the most?

Pretty much the Only thing nox fears at all is failure, not even drastic failure but just like making a mistake and losing reputation points over it which is why she has to be Perfect and Infallible always

11. Their biggest flaw? Do they recognize it as a flaw?

Nox recognizes and admits to no flaws; which is also her biggest one. Her arrogance tends to have her letting conflicts escalate to a ridiculous point bc she views a lot of things as not being worth her time/effort

12. What are they most insecure about?

There is 1 insecurity nox has and that is actually not like, being married as most officers of her rank in the Legion would be. But she also dislikes the way legion marriages are conducted and just could never bring herself to do it all the same. (instead she just hooks up w her fellow officers’ dissatisfied wives lmao)

For Canus:

10. What do they fear the most?

He is genuinely terrified of lanius like everything else pales in comparison to his fear of lanius sacrificing him or some other messed up nonsense

11. Their biggest flaw? Do they recognize it as a flaw?

Carelessness is his biggest flaw, he’s really prone to just muck his frumentarius missions up bc he doesn’t give a shit about Not mucking it up, and he knows this. However in his mind he doesn’t see it as a flaw because if he really had a reason to put care into his work, he figures he could

12. What are they insecure about? 

Any of his scars he’s gotten from fights/missions/corporal punishments because while a lot of Legionaries wear their scars like trophies, Canus is incredibly vain and hates to be marked up (that said he still has totally fake overcompensating badass stories for each one)

I am so thankful for writers like Stitch who share their time, passion and skills with us. The fandom wouldn't be the same without them.”

It’s Another WIP Meme!

I got tagged by @stitchcasual

Rules: List 10 words/phrases that have something to do with your work(s) in progress and then tag 10 people to do the same.

These are for 2 projects: Semper ad Meliora (fic) and Children of the Gods (original). See if you can guess which is which?

rags to riches

sheltered cult babies

unintentional rapunzel vibes

gender is fake and so is god

communication issues

ride-or-die bffs

family

happily-ever-after

sat on a throne of lies

gay

Didn’t take this seriously at all, sorry not sorry. 

I tag anybody who sees this and wants to do it. That means you!

stitchcasual replied to your post “10 Things About My WIPs”

I feel that, stared at mine for [redacted], which is just embarrassing (tabula rasa is open in a tab on my phone and I Will Read It, I've been meaning to for so long, yikes)

The only thing that took longer was the one that made me pick out music.

And I definitely feel that “should be reading this” mood. I have fallen so behind on keeping up with everything. 😭

5, 12, and 45?? ^_^

Lovely to hear from you too, my friend, and thanks so much for sending me an ask! You know how much I appreciate it 🤗 

Fanfiction Writer Asks 

5) If you had to choose a favourite out of all of your multi chaptered stories, which would it be and why? 

Hmmm, this is a difficult one, because on the one hand I would choose “The Courtship of Daisy and Junior” simply because it’s the one I actually finished, but on the other hand “A Chance Engagement” has, for me personally, been the most fun to write. 

If we’re including ALL fics, even the ones not up on AO3, then my favourite multi-chaptered fic is one I haven’t finished or published yet. It’s the Carver/Merrill Modern!AU one called “How To Push Up A Daisy” set in a London gym owned by Garrett Hawke. I… really need to publish that one! 

12) Who is your favourite character to write for? Why? 

Carver Hawke, simply because I find him so easy to write. I can hear his voice in my head so clearly, and I feel like I can even feel his reactions as if they were my own. 

I can’t write characters that I can’t “hear” in my own head (which has nothing to do with their voice actors or accents etc – Merrill’s Welsh accent is very familiar to me as a Brit, so her actual voice or accent isn’t a problem; but it’s still much harder to “hear” what she might say or how she might react in a certain situation. That said, at least I can “hear” her to some extent, which is why I can attempt to write her – there are some characters I can’t “hear” at all). 

45) What spurs you on during the writing process? 

The same thing that spurs me on while working – having some sort of external accountability, whether that is a deadline or simply promising someone that I would finish a fic for them. I hate leaving things undone or unfinished, and yet I am really bad at finishing things I start (and I start LOADS of things that I don’t finish, and I hate that I do that). 

Thanks so much for sending me these asks! They were fun ❤️

also it's got a fabulous playlist so there's that

Awww, shucks!

And it’s still the only story that has a playlist...

Tip's family died in a house fire earlier in their life, and the saddest part about the amnesia Benny caused by shooting them in the head is that they don't remember any of it

STITCH NO HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO POOR TIPDO THEY EVER GET THEIR MEMORIES BACK!???
