#thanks for the ask‚ sweet pea!

[callsignbaphomet]

Glance, stillness, formal, texture, favorite, and change! For whoever you want ofc <3

glance: At first glance, what stands out most about your OC's appearance? What's their distinguishing feature?

☆.｡.:* He has really big and bright gray eyes that are more on the lighter side.

stillness: How does your OC act while still? Are they fidgety? Do they have any common gestures or tics? Does their clothing affect how they hold themselves while at rest?

☆.｡.:* He has ADD so standing still is kind of a pain in the ass especially as his medication starts wearing off. It's your usuals: shaking his foot without him even noticing he's doing it, hums without him even realizing he's doing it, constantly chewing gum to offset the requirement of standing still. He's been known to lightly scratch his cuticles and picks at his skin. He has little things he can play with while standing still. Before heading off on a job though he makes sure to medicate and have plenty of gum.

formal: What's your OC's formal look? Do they like dressing up? Do they have different looks for different occasions?

☆.｡.:* Oh, this is fun! His formal looks are all dresses, heels, jewelry everywhere he can put some and some of the most extravagant makeup looks he can come up with. He HATES men's formal clothing with a burning passion but luckily he's an avid cross-dresser and given the fact that he looks androgynous and has curves he passes as a woman and gets a kick out of that while he and Jelani laugh about it. He's worn men's formal clothing before and hated every second of it.

texture: Does your OC favor any specific kinds of cloth or textures? Is there anything they can't wear or don't like? What sort of fabrics do they prefer?

☆.｡.:* He's a slut for silk. Give him anything made of silk and he'll hump your leg for 30 minutes. Furs and leather are another favorite of his. He hates ruffles and anything plaid. He avoids anything with rough textures as he prefers soft fibers and fabrics plus Jelani has texture sensitivities.

favorite: Does your OC have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? What is it? What's the meaning behind it? Do they wear it all the time or do they wear it sparingly to keep it safe?

☆.｡.:* He has this really soft, off the shoulders, oversized, pastel colored long sleeved shirt that's super light and breathable that Jela bought for him when he was out on the job somewhere in Europe. He loves to wear it around spring and just before summer and he wears it/combines it with lots of articles. He has a little circlet and set that Jela got for him from one of the times they went to one of the exo realms. Every time they passed by the shop he stopped to look at it through the window and he would've gotten it himself but he wasn't sure if he should or exactly when he'd wear 'em. He only pulls 'em out during special occasions. It's made from materials only found in that exo realm. Honestly every time Jelani goes out and Angelus stays home or back at base he always brings him something.

change: Has your OC ever drastically changed their appearance? Significant haircuts, big tattoos, complete wardrobe swap, etc? Why? How do they feel about the change?

☆.｡.:* You can sorta say he constantly does. Like I said he's an avid cross-dresser and he goes hard. Half his closet and drawers are full of women's clothes (yeah, including underwear). He likes changing things up with different styles (pastels, goth or whatever he feels like). Then he'll switch it up and dress completely masc and instead of short skirts and oversized sweaters he's decked out in techwear or anything "tactical" (civilian kind of tactical, he's not running around in full uniform off the clock lol).

💔, 🥩, 🍓 for lawrence and winifred please <33

💔 (broken heart) - Who has your character hurt most? Physically or emotionally? How did it feel? Do they regret it?

Winifred - This may be a shock, but I feel as though this would be her father. He obviously wasn't around for her, and she never met him, and while I despise the term "daddy issues", I do think she suffers from some those stereotypical behaviors (difficulty trusting men, low self-esteem, people pleasing). Of course, through therapy today, we are able to identify that some a father abandoning their child can lead to psychological issues later on in life, but I'm not certain if Winifred would even know that's where some of her issues stem from. So, as for how it felt, it's probably deeply troubling & confusing, especially when she was just a girl. Lawrence - Jeeeeeez, again, probably his father! I have explained it in asks & sort-of alluded to it lightly, but Lawrence's father would have been considered abusive in today's society. Which is why it took him so long to realise he had only taken on caring for the farm to make his father proud, even if it was from beyond the grave!

🥩 (steak) - Does your oc have any coping mechanisms? Healthy or unhealthy?

Winifred - Ooooo she definitely isolates as a means to cope with her problems! I assume she learned this from spending long hours at the workhouse alone and struggling to engage socially both as a girl, and even now as adult. Lawrence - Although it pains me to say it he's a workaholic. Even now being a position where he doesn't necessarily have to work, but still chooses to. In some ways, having a good work ethic can be a good thing, but I also think a lot of people use it as a form of distraction without realising it. Also, probably note the last question as well tbh.

🍓 (strawberry) - Does your oc believe in anything? Are they superstitious? Religious? Atheistic? Has anything in their past made them this way?

Winifred - In this post, I sort-of alluded to Winifred's beliefs a little, which is the Pagan's holiday for the Autumn equinox, however, I wouldn't label her a pagan. I do think she would be very superstitious though, mostly because there a lot of pretty silly superstitions that came from the Victorian era that I feel she might adhere to. Lawrence - Again, I've never explicitly stated Lawrence's religion but I do actually believe him to have been raised Catholic. He was raised in Wales, which is mostly Anglican, however, his Mother's two best friends (Beth & Valerie) are canonically Catholic in the story, and by extension, I just decided Lawrence's parents were too. As for if he's superstitious, this is a complete yes. There are a lot of old superstitions about death & mourning that I hope to include moving forward.

🧣(scarf) - What comforts your oc? Is it an item? An action? A person? Whatever it is, how any why does it comfort them?

Ugh, my chance to gush about my favorite couple ever! Unsuprising, his comfort person is obviously Winifred. When I was more Gameplay focused, his aspiration was to find 'the one', which I took to mean, find someone he loved and begin to build a legacy (a family, a career, etc). For Lawrence, Winifred is just perfect, and he probably idolizes her to an unhealthy degree. But she is totally his person, and making her happy and comfortable is what matters most to him.

Send Me RED Emoji Asks! <3

[hammity-hammer]

for the ask game!! capital P stobin please and thank you

oh my sweet dear em,,,,, i wanted to get a happy song and yet,,,,

No Surprises - Radiohead

</333 this song fucks me UP and --- yeah here's my idea sorry it got angsty <3

i think this would be a post vecna au- where they won but they lost so fucking many that it's hard to keep going. eddie stays dead, they lose max, all of the kids that got taken before still stay dead-- and steve and robin have to try and mend themselves and exist like normal people. they go back to working normal jobs, but it's a robin pov-- and she just sees how it kills steve to live without one of their kids; without eddie, whom he barely knew, and how they have to pretend that they didn't have to sit around thinking max would get better but she didn't and they couldn't save eddie, nothing they did could have ended any differently and it's hard. it's hard to watch the love of her life waste away at another dead-end job with her when they've saved the world four fucking times but couldn't save themselves.

she stays mad at the fact that the government agents took so fucking long, knowing that there were kids putting their lives on the line. they were all just kids.

they move in together-- they saved enough and with government hush money they could pay off a house and just,,, live. bare minimum-- barely sleeping, but always in the same bed because they can't sleep apart anymore, and one day robin just snaps.

she wants to feel like anything they did even meant something and steve just--he just stares. he can't come up with a good answer because was it really worth it? they lost two of their own just to get everything covered up again and have everyone act like nothing happened--

but that's not surprising to either of them anymore.

send me an ask <3

[callsignbaphomet]

You should talk about Berserkers more <333

Aw, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ignore the ask. I was super fixated on finishing that thing I was working on and wanted to finish it first for two reasons. I was super fixated and that would answer part of this ask. Sorta. I'll post that later.

Also I'm sorry if I sound incoherent I took some Benadryl and everything's fuzzy right now.

So. Berserkers.

Okay so I basically love the idea of the berserker and all that but found it lacked a little...panache. At least to me anyway.

Berserkers are essentially a long lived type of humanoid warrior. While out of berserker mode they look identical to regular humans in every way. In fact, there is no way to tell if what you're looking at is a human or a berserker. However, when they shift into their berserker mode they turn into hulking, muscular humanoids that stand somewhere between 8 feet and 9.5 feet tall and weigh anywhere between 350 to 490 pounds. That's without armors and their weapons. Aside from getting really freaking big they conjure up armors and weapons, adults conjure up two weapons. The look and style of the armors and weapons differ from individual to individual but each armor and weapon depends solely on the culture of the berserker.

Let's use Loke for an example. He's Norwegian so his armor and weapons will reflect that. He's a Nordic or Norse whichever you wanna use berserker so that'll reflect on the style of his gear.

Aside from hulking out and conjuring weapons these fuckers are strong and I mean S T R O N G! They're one of the few non-humans that can and dare to go up against the divine in a head to head battle and make them sweat and work for their victory. They're not mindless in this state but they are super quick to start fighting and once a berserker picks a target there's not much that'll stand in the way of them defeating their target.

Also their armor can sustain damage and even break but the amount of force that has to be used in order to break their armor is fucking mental. Now, just because the armor breaks it doesn't mean it's permanent, if the armor breaks the berserker shifts back into their human form until it regenerates which can take a few hours depending on the severity of the damage. However, their weapons will never break or dull or rust. Speaking of, a berserker doesn't need to shift into berserker mode in order to conjure their weapons, they can do so at any time they need. Like so.

Another change I forgot to mention is that while in berserker mode their eyes tend to glow in whatever color their eyes are and that also happens when only conjuring a weapon. Yeah, Loke has green eyes but the red comes from when he was resurrected so Loke's kind of a special case. The electricity surging through the axe isn't normal either. We'll get to that.

Now, berserkers may have their roots and origins in magic but they cannot use magic, not in human form and much less in berserker mode. It's not that they aren't permitted, it's just that they cannot actually understand magic so they can't really learn it. I had to nerf them somewhere lol

Yeah, I know, the doodle is contradicting everything I'm saying but again, Loke's kind of a special case.

If a berserker should ever decide to try and learn magic it would be one hell of a gargantuan task as like I said, they don't actually understand it so they don't bother, besides, with their raw power they don't need magic. Hell, they don't need a rocket launcher either...

When they're young berserkers can conjure a range of weapons to try out and practice with them to sort of get a feeling as to which two they feel most comfortable with, then iirc by their late teens they've already made up their minds as to which two weapons they feel comfortable with and stick to those two only. Since they specialize in two weapons they become like an extension to them, they pretty much master that weapon and become devastating with them.

In the case of Loke he chose a two headed axe like his dad has and the bow and arrow like his mom has.

Like I said, these guys are long lived but they seldom get to fully enjoy that because they're a warrior species. Fighting is in their blood so most die in battle. And these fuckers are extremely tough to kill which means that they tend to die brutally and bloody.

They don't have some jacked up healing like other species have, they'll scar and aren't immune to diseases both inherited and catching.

Loke for example has asthma, hemophilia (which is crazy when you really think about it and what he is), astigmatism, can't see well up close I forgot what that one's called...you get the idea.

Now! Magic and Loke. Okay, so he's idolized his mom for as long as he can remember and always wanted to be like her. Since he was a little boy he asked his mom to teach him how to use magic and while Sanaa knew it was damn near impossible she humored. This took a very long time, we're talking 30+ years for him to get but Sanaa taught him a small trick she often used that can turn one arrow into thousands of arrows that rain on the enemy. She also taught him to conjure an element, in his case it's lightning, to wrap itself around his conjured weapon. These are things that would take a child a few months to get but since Loke's a berserker it took that long. This was kind of a pretty big deal as vommon berserkers just can't really do that but he persevered until he got it. Then it took him some 20 odd years or so to be able to consistently pull it off. Now he can do it in his sleep like it's nothing and it serves to intimidate others and impress others like his mom's side of the family. When they first saw it their minds were blown to hell and back and those people don't get surprised by anything.

So if the berserker is based on the person's culture, what about those who's parents are from two different cultures? Easy. The armor and weapons take aspects of both parents.

That pretty much cover the common berserker. Then there are arcane berserkers of which ONLY AND ONLY the Nyota people can be arcane berserkers. However, if a common berserker and an arcane berserker have a child that child will also be an arcane berserker and be considered a Nyota descendant.

More on arcane berserkers will be on another post I'll post later.

[c-rowlesdraws]

luv ur weird horse oc

thank u

[storkmuffin]

2 & 6 for the ask game. Can't wait until you can watch the last season!

2. Least favorite character

It's a tie between Hiram and Mary, actually. Hiram being an unpredictably vicious man who competes with his daughter and keeps his whole family in terror of him as long as he can is too familiar for me to find any joy it, and Mary just sucks. FailLesbian rep I guess, but she makes Archie PAY HER for their bombed out house. (Intrafamily real estate deals are a major source of conflict in my country.)

6. Favorite Musical Episode

Heathers, because Sweet Pea got the lead part even though they never show him singing a single solo, and because he almost had a threesome with Toni and Peaches'n'Cream. (I have a major thing for Sweet Pea, along with literally like, six other people in all of Riverdale fandom GLOBALLY.) Bughead also have gasoline-stinky sooty car sex because setting Jughead's childhood home on fire made them horny - what is not to love?

Favorite musical performance though is Julian singing as Archie in Archie the Musical because Julian has a beautiful voice and wonderful presence when he sings.

[babsvibes]

A Harley/Millie song, please!

One of my other favorite rarepairs that has eeeehhh no following lol … yet

HarMil: The Cult of Dionysus by The Orion Experience “let’s get into cult stuff because we’re a little bored with life” seems like the manic kind of decisions these two would make. Stealing bounce houses and locking children in a fort both seem like slippery slopes to me lmao

[ebdanon]
