OC OTP Song List

I got tagged for this by @the-sith-in-the-sky-with-diamond​ ! Thank you, and sorry it’s taken so long to crank out!

To be perfectly honest, I have a much more comprehensive list of OTP songs for my original story - Rogue: The Razimarr Quartz Story - than I do for All Were Innocent Once. As such my descriptions/reasoning for those pairings will likely be much shorter than those I’ll provide for my other couples. In fact, I still don’t really have a song for Eonur and Lana, but hopefully that will come with time.

Anyways, on to the pairings and their accompanying songs!

EDIT: Now with links to the songs! :D

Raz/Mynai (adolescence)

“Closer” cover by Boyce Avenue feat. Sarah Hyland

This song has always just kinda struck me as a Raz/Mynai song for a variety of reasons. It kinda works better as a song where Raz is reflecting on their relationship as an adult, the opening lines matching his behavior a bit more as an adult than as a teenager (”Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you/ I drink too much and that’s an issue but I’m okay”). The repetition of “we ain’t ever getting older” reflects their mindset while dating as teens; it’s a quasi-blissful living-in-the-moment and enjoying what they have despite knowing at the back of their minds that one day it’ll all fall apart.

Raz/Mynai (adulthood)

“Swimming in a Lovely Sea of You” by Michael Whalen

This is sort of an odd one to have on here due to the fact that it has no lyrics. It’s melancholic, but kinda peaceful too. It’s a song where I clearly picture Raz waking up in the middle of the night beside Mynai while in the cartel and feeling torn between the life he has now - filled with excess and hedonistic pleasures - versus the life he had with her as a teenager. He feels considerable guilt for carrying on with other women despite being reunited with her, but is simultaneously afraid of losing her again and unwilling to let himself be vulnerable around her either. This is a song for those quiet moments where Raz’s conscience starts coming through again after he’s pushed it down so much in the cartel, putting fractures that wall he’s put up until it finally comes crashing down not too long later.

Raz/Rysha 

“Work Song” by Hozier

The quintessential Raz/Rysha song. The lyrics have so much to do with being loved despite all of the bad they singer has done in his life, which is almost exactly how Raz’s story has gone up to meeting Rysha: “My babe would never fret none/About what my hands and my body done/If the Lord don’t forgive me/I’d still have my baby and my babe would have me.” Just the total sincerity in the song and how much peace the man’s lover brings him strongly resembles their relationship. She is someone in whom he has placed all his trust, all his love, and for the first time ever he feels totally safe with that. 

Terasas/Valika

“Our Song” by Ron Pope

Nothing super in-depth about this one; I just find it a cute little song that matches them. The opening few lyrics mention the singer and his love dancing together slow on the riverbank, and since Terasas and Valika live right next to a river (and since Terasas is the kind of romantic that would do this) I can see him pulling her close to hum a song for her while they dance. There’s also the fact that the singer gets along well with his love’s parents, which is true of Terasas with his in-laws. That being said Terasas doesn’t exactly ask her father for her hand because Terasas’ proposal is more brought on suddenly by Valika’s surprise pregnancy with their daughter.

Terasas/Mynai

“At the Beginning” by Richard Marx feat. Donna Lewis

I had trouble picking a song for these two, but I ultimately settled on this one. Both Terasas and Mynai go through so much before finally finding each other. Mynai was Terasas’ first real crush back when she was dating Raz, and for a long time he had to conceal his feelings for her as to not betray his friend. Since they meet as teenagers, and go through so much before finally winding up together, this song reflects that journey they both underwent before finally ending up happy together.

Cirak/Dekon

“Under a Dome” by Of Monsters and Men

Honestly I can’t say too much about this one due to spoilers for All Were Innocent Once, but definite parts of the song work for their relationship. Particularly I imagine in the second verse them watching fireworks together on the beach by their home on Ord Mantell: “Under a dome/Where I met you first/Fuck the way we were/Wait/Watch the colors burst.” There’s a scene in my head actually - if I were directing a show or something - where I would place this song, and it’s not actually AWIO (maybe class story...or later?) >.>

Tyar/Jaesa

“Heathens” by Twenty-One Pilots

Okay, to be perfectly honest, this freaking couple was the hardest one to find a song for. Tyar is batshit crazy. DS!Jaesa is batshit crazy. They are a batshit crazy couple whose favorite activities swing between crazily butchering their enemies on the battlefield and engaging in rough carnal passion back home. They are not stable. That being said, I think “Heathens” works moderately well. The lyrics that stick out to me in particular are “You’re lovin’ on the psychopath sitting next to you/You’re lovin’ on the murderer sitting next to you/ You’ll think “how’d I get here sitting next to you?” which works for the fact that they’ve both fallen so far from their respective days as Jedi.

[greencrusader13]

Tag! Get to know me!

Tag game! I’m asked questions, I provide answers. Since, as @dingoat​ already mentioned, the previous question #17 was a rather sudden question regarding a controversial topic, I’ve changed it as to keep things fun and friendly here!

Tagging: @melissagt​ @the-sith-in-the-sky-with-diamond​ @anchanted-one​ @chubbyooo​ @made-of-starr-dust​ @captainderyn​ @glorfinniell​ @elaphaemourra​ @sheyshen​ @a-muirehen​ @tamariasykes​ @verbose-vespertine​ @swtorpadawan​ @commander-ralyle​

Rules: Always post the rules. Tag 11 new people you’d like to know better! 

1. Dogs or Cats? 

*Glances over at Raz, Terasas, Rysha, Mynai, Cirak, Tyar, and my various Elder Scrolls OCs...*

2. YouTube celebrities or normal celebrities? 

I don’t really get all that wrapped up in celebrity stuff. As long as someone has a kind heart and means well then I’ll root for them.

3. If you could live anywhere where would that be? 

I’m torn between living on some kind of waterfront (beach, lake, whatever) or somewhere out in the hills with a beautiful view.

4. Disney or DreamWorks? 

Disney, but both have great works. Megamind is one of my favorite animated films period, but I think Disney has a wider range of high-quality films.

5. Favorite childhood TV show? 

Gosh I gotta wrack my brain about what shows I watched as a kid. I’d probably have to say Avatar: The Last Airbender. My sister and I would wake up early to watch it on weekends.

6. The movie you’re looking forward to most in 2020?

Although there’s next to no information out about it at the moment, I have to say Tenet, which is being directed by Christopher Nolan, who happens to be my favorite director.

7. Favorite book you read in 2019?

I have read painfully few books this year, but I’d have to say Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft.

8. Marvel or DC?

Marvel, although Batman is my favorite superhero. 

9. If you choose Marvel favorite member of the X-Men? If you choose DC favorite Justice League member?

Close call between Nightcrawler and Jean Grey. The Dark Phoenix saga was one of the first comic books I’d read when I was a little kid.

10. Night or Day?

Day.

11. Favorite Pokemon? 

It’s been ages since I last played any Pokemon games, but I’d have to say Espeon. Good kitty.

12. Top 5 bands/artists:

Hozier

Of Monsters and Men

Florence + the Machine

Lifehouse

Snow Patrol

13. Top 10 books.

(screaming internally at the daunting list of books I’ve read)

The Codex Alera series

The Name of the Wind

The Lord of the Rings

A Clash of Kings

The Drawing of the Three

The Way of Kings

The Warded Man

Dracula

Black Sun Rising

Dune

14. Top 4 movies

FOUR?! I SEE WAY TOO MANY MOVIES TO BOIL IT DOWN TO JUST FOUR!!!

...but I’ll try.

Inception

Memento

Return of the King

Guardians of the Galaxy

15. America or Europe? 

I’m from the United States, but I’m gonna have to say Europe. They seem to have a much better grasp on how to handle healthcare compared to the backwards-ass system we have across the Atlantic.

16. Tumblr or Twitter? 

Tumblr, but only because I don’t use Twitter all that much.

17. Favorite vacation destination? 

When I was a kid we once went to Sun Valley in Idaho to go skiing. I just have these very fond memories of being out in the snow and wandering around the area near where we’d rented a condo for our stay. It was just a wonderful experience.

18. Favorite YouTuber?

At the moment it’s Alpharad, but I’ve held a few favorites over the years, such as Markiplier, Game Grumps, and so forth.

19. Favorite author ?

Brandon Sanderson. He has such a pleasant and engaging writing style, and tells stories that make me feel glued to the page.

20. Tea or Coffee?

Tea, by process of elimination. Coffee just tastes blech.

21. OTP? 

If we’re talking my own ships, then Raz/Rysha by a country mile. They are my sweethearts, and their relationship just makes me happy.

If we’re not, then Rick/Michonne from The Walking Dead television series. They are the epitome of how to develop a couple naturally and over time during a series’ run.

22. Do you play an instrument/sing ? 

I used to take choir in high school, but that was awhile ago and my vocal quality has declined severely as a result. I used to sing baritone back then, sometimes bass if there was nothing baritone-specific for the song. Every now and then I could hit the tenor range if the notes were low enough, but that was rare.

OC Interview - Terasas Feldspar

The rules are simple: pick an OC, and then answer these interview questions in-character for them. Then tag five more people to keep it going!

I got tagged again by @melissagt​ so I wanted to do two more: one for Terasas Feldspar, and one for Tyar Kiht. Since I don’t think people know a lot about Terasas other than what I’ve vaguely mentioned of him in previous posts, I thought I’d start with him.

Like with the Raz interview I picked a particular point in time in his life to answer these questions, which for the sake of clarity I’ll make it the same as when I answered Raz’s questions. Terasas would be 33 at this time.

Tagging: @the-sith-in-the-sky-with-diamond @athiefswarwriteblr @nusaran @kunoichi-ume @francestroublr

1. What is your name?

I’m Terasas Feldspar.

2. Do you know why are you named that?

It’s similar t’ my pa’s name, which was Tessir.

3. Are you single or taken?

I just got married t’ a wonderful gal named Mynai. I’ve been infatuated with her since I met her back when we was teenagers, but she was with my best friend back then. It’s really something else that not only is she back in my life, she’s now my wife.

4. Have any abilities or powers?

I’m a pretty decent swordsman, and good enough with a bow t’ go hunting on occasion. I don’t really fancy myself as being anything particularly special.

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.

I don’t know what that is.

6. What’s your eye color?

Green.

7. How about your hair color?

I in’t got any hair, but my fur is sorta this reddish-brown color.

8. Have any family members?

I’ve got my daughter Ariya, whom I had with my late wife Valika. My little girl is my world. I’d do anything for her and t’ protect her. She was a surprise definitely...Val and I weren’t married when she was conceived, but I can’t think of life without Ariya. The first time I held my daughter I... I can’t even describe the sort of love I felt.

My parents aren’t around any more. I wish Ariya could’ve met her grandparents. She looks so much like my ma, and I think the two really would’ve gotten along well.

Like I said before I just got married t’ Mynai, and I consider myself a really lucky man. I didn’t think I’d find love again after Val died, but here I am... here we are. I’m not sure if or when we’re gonna have kids of our own; it’s come up, and we’d both like t’, but right now Mynai wants t’ just adjust t’ being Ariya’s stepmother.

I’ve only got one sibling: my half-sister Dirna. She’s also Raz’s half-sister, so we’re kinda like brothers in that way too. My ma was her mother, and Raz’s pa was hers too.

Speaking of Raz, he’s like my brother. He hasn’t always been there when I needed him, but he’s getting better about it. He helped Ariya and I get t’ safety when true night returned t’ the world, and came back when there was a killer here in New Coalfell and helped put a stop t’ it. Even with small things he’s getting better, like he helped watch Ariya while Mynai and I were off on our honeymoon. My friend needs t’ stop being so hard on himself. He’s a better person than he thinks he is.

9. Oh? How about pets?

I in’t much of a pet person. Besides, until recently I was a single father, and I couldn’t’ve handled looking after my child and a pet.

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now, tell me something you don’t like?

I in’t a big fan of most alcohols. Wine just about does it for me.

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

I like t’ go hunting and fishing when the stars align. My pa used t’ take me if he ever won a big hand at cards when I was little when he’d have enough coin t’ be gone for a day or two. Fishing is really calming. I like just sitting by the stream for hours without much care.

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?

I try not to, but everyone’s made mistakes. I’m no exception.

13. Ever… killed anyone before?

Yes. Before becoming guard captain I was a guardsman like any other, and unfortunately that means sometimes I’ve had t’ use lethal force. There was a bandit attack when I was living in Brightscale that I helped defend against, and I killed some bandits during that raid, including the bandit captain leading the attack. That was my first really big battle. 

14. What kind of animal are you?

I in’t an animal...

15. Name your worst habits?

When I fall deep asleep I tend t’ snore pretty loudly. Val used t’ joke about smothering me in my sleep just so she could get some sleep of her own.

I’ve also been described as having a “savior’s complex.” Like, I just want t’ help people. I don’t mean it in a bad way, but some people’ve responded less than favorably t’ me tryin’ t’ help.

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

Raz. My friend is trying so hard t’ make things right that he doesn’t realize he has already. I’m not sure I would’ve been able t’ step away from the life he was leading if our lives were switched. It takes a lot of willpower t’ stay away from stuff like that after falling into it.

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?

I’m straight.

18. Do you go to school?

No. When Raz and I ran away as teenagers that was the last I’d gone t’ school.

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?

I never want t’ marry again now that Mynai’s my wife, and I in’t losing her.

We’ve talked about having kids, and we both want to, but we’d have t’ be careful about when we do. Ariya’s normal has already been changed once in a pretty drastic way, and I’d want her t’ be ready and understand that she’d be having a little brother or sister. So, for now, Mynai and I are being careful t’ not conceive until everything’s right.

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

None that I know of, but I do get t’ meet some grateful people around New Coalfell. They help the job feel rewarding.

21. What are you most afraid of?

Anything happening t’ my family. I went through the pain of losing one wife, and I couldn’t do it again. I don’t even want t’ think about losing my daughter.

22. What do you usually wear?

Just a white collared shirt and trousers at home. When I’m on patrol I wear my guardsman uniform with chain mail armor underneath. It’s good protection, but gets really hot in summers.

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

Okay, so Val used t’ own a bakery, and she used t’ make this one meal that I hadn’t heard of before her. It was, like, this dough that had tomatoes mashed into a sauce on it with cheese and some meats, all baked in a stone oven. Not really a pastry, and not really bread either. It was divine.

24. Am I annoying to you?

*shakes his head*

25. Well, it’s still not over!

Okay.

26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?

Middle I guess? We in’t struggling with our money, but we couldn’t buy some of them nicer places out there either.

27. How many friends do you have?

I’ve got a nice handful of friends; a strong community around me here.

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

Val and I would make pie in her bakery on days where I was off-duty sometimes.

29. Favorite drink?

Apple juice.

...oh, like alcoholic? Red wine.

30. What’s your favorite place?

Our home back when Val and I were living in Brightscale. It was a total wreck when I first showed up there, and Val got a lot of people t’ help me rebuild it after the bandit attack. It was right by a river, so when we were drifting off t’ sleep we could hear the water rushing by. We were also separated a bit from the rest of the town, so it was like our own small piece of paradise as a family. I loved the walk back t’ it from work.

Unfortunately Brightscale became a ghost town after the plague hit, and Ariya and I were forced t’ leave it behind when all the survivors migrated t’ Boulder. Val’s ashes are buried there. Sometime I’d like t’ take Ariya back, but I don’t know what that area’s even like anymore. Could be bandits in the area, or predators, or anything. I’d want t’ make sure it’s safe first.

31. Are you interested in anyone?

*Terasas points to his wedding ring*

32. That was a stupid question…

A little bit, no offense...

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?

Lake.

34. What’s your type?

Uh, my type? Honestly I in’t been with enough women t’ have a type, but if I had t’ say it’d be intelligent women who are outspoken. Confidence goes a long way for me, but not arrogance. She has t’ be kind too.

I tend t’ first notice a woman’s eyes first. I don’t know why, but a woman with beautiful eyes seems t’ be what catches my attention.

35. Any fetishes?

F...f-fetishes? N-no...I mean, everyone’s got things they enjoy doing in bed, but I don’t think it counts as a fetish...

Wait, what am I saying? None of this is your godsdamned business! No one needs t’ know I like doggyst...- wait, I didn’t say that before! Delete this part! Delete this p-

36. Camping or outdoors?

*Terasas straightens himself, brushing down his ruffled fur while clearing his throat* What was that? Camping or outdoors? Ooh, what a great, perfectly normal question like all the other ones you’ve asked so far.

Camping. When I feel like it’s safe out I like taking Ariya out for a few nights like my pa used to when I was little. She in’t a big fan of the hunting part of it, so I usually do that by myself along with the skinning and cleaning of the meat afterwards. We have a good time sitting around the fire afterwards eating together. I hope she enjoys it too. I know those memories of my own father mean so much t’ me, and I hope it’s the same for her.

I was tagged by @the-sith-in-the-sky-with-diamond

I’m tagging: @melissagt @terrelian-inquisitor @winterfrostlegacy

Your muse’s full name: Razimarr Marah Quartz 

Faceclaim of your muse: N/A

And my favorite picture of him: The only one I have of him (for now; I fully intend to rectify that) 

Two headcanons you have for your muse:

- He hates the taste of ginger

-  After leaving the Cartel he hates wearing anything without sleeves since they expose his tattoos from that time.

Three things that your muse likes doing in their free time:

1. Sketching or painting; art

2. Finding vistas around the city/town via rooftop hopping

3. In his younger, pre-Rysha days Raz enjoyed fooling around whenever he could, and often had various FWBs and casual relationships that he’d go visit for some...fun. After Rysha though he enjoys just spending time with her relaxing at home or by the lake (once he gets over his fear of water). Once they have kids it extends to spending time with them as well.

Seven people your muse loves / likes:

Rysha, his children (lumping them as one entity) Terasas, Mynai (after a strained relationship they become friends), Simon, Aveline, Ariya (Terasas’ daughter, whom he’s practically an uncle to) 

A phobia your muse has

Raz is terrified of water after nearly drowning in his escape from the Cold Iron Cartel. For years he would avoid large bodies of water, and even so much as being submerged in a bath would make him feel anxious. Rysha eventually helps him work through his fear, though it’s a bit of a painful process.
