Character Voice Tag

Thank you for the tags @willtheweaver @talesofsorrowandofruin @whatwewrotepodcast @kaylinalexanderbooks 🎊🎉

Rules: rewrite the given line in your characters' voices

I did mine for my characters from The Keeper of Maralla. I did several since I have been pretty behind in tags lol.

My line is: Bring it on!

Juva-Let’s get going!

Maralla- Let’s go!

Jorem-Let’s crush this!

Koti- Go for it!

Mrs. Terila - It is time!

Raela- Okay, let’s get started!

My line is: "Mistakes were made."

Juva- There were screw ups. It’s all my fault. 

Maralla- Something went wrong.

Jorem- A bunch of idiots threw a party.

Koti- I smell a mistake.

Mrs. Terila- I can’t deny mistakes were made.

Raela- What do you know? Mistakes. 

My line is: Don’t give up on me now!

Juva- I’ve come too far for you to walk away.

Maralla- There is no room for giving up.

Jorem- You better not go 180 on me!

Koti- I’m not surprised that you would give up on me, but you better not dare to go that way.

Mrs. Terila- See for yourself that you cannot give up on me now.

Raela- Come on! You know you can’t give up on me!

My line is: Don't even think about it. 

Juva- Not going into that territory.

Maralla- Hey, no thinking on that.

Jorem- Get your mind off it.

Koti- Don’t you dare think about it.

Mrs. Terila- Enough of dwelling on it.

Raela- Better things to do than to think about it.

My line is: "Is anyone going to drink this?"

Juva- Is this someone’s? If not, can I drink it?

Maralla- Who forgot this cup?

Jorem- Who left this lying around? Just drink it already. If no one does, then I will.

Koti- [drinks it]

Mrs. Terila- Attention! Was someone going to drink this? Come claim your drink and don’t leave it sitting around again!

Raela- Hey everyone, is somebody going to drink this?

[primordialhazbin]

munday writing detail meme!

Name: Kotys

Age range: under 18 | between 18 and 25 | 25 and older

Pronouns: She/Her

Random fact about me: I have sectoral heterochromia. My irises are half blue and half green.

When it comes to planning threads: I like to wing it completely | I like to plan the start of the thread | I like to plan several key points in the thread | I like to plan every reply | It depends (elaborate)

Pre-established relationships between muses: I enjoy them | I like them occasionally but mostly prefer to play the relationship out | I don't do pre-established relationships

When it comes to replies, I like to: Keep mine short (1-2 paragraphs) | Keep mine to medium length | Keep my replies long (10+ paragraphs) | It depends (elaborate) The mood dictates the length of the reply, and it also depends on the driving point of my reply. It's important to me that I can express my muse in an appropriate way that gives your muse & the overall thread the necessary hooks for us to grab and continue the story.

I generally try to reply in: 1 day | 3 days | A week | Within a month | More than a month

I like getting asks for memes I reblogged a long time ago: Yes | No | Depends

I like getting random IC asks from my mutuals: Yes | No | Depends

I like getting tagged in unplanned starters from my mutuals: Yes | No | Depends

I like getting getting OOC asks from my mutuals to plan our threads: Yes | No | Depends

I like getting getting OOC asks from my mutuals just to chat about things not related to RP: Yes | No | Depends (K here - I'm not good at keeping conversations cuz I get tired fast in social situations. You can talk to me about regular degular stuff if you wanna but it's not what I seek here. I'm here to focus on rp first and foremost 🫶 hence ooc friendships might be hard to create with me but I prommy I love all the friends who have patiently grown a friendship with me over months of friendly slowburn lmao)

I enjoy writing: Drama! I love having an external conflict that drives our muses in a certain direction where they can grow their relationship. :) I'm not great at banter for the sake of banter. I need a story.

I don't enjoy writing: Fast banter. I don't have the time to spend on quick back and forths. I wish I did tho. It looks super fun! Also smut. I'm so awkward with it, I just can't do it without being beet red in the face. I can try, but it's got to be part of a bigger story so I don't feel like there's a spotlight on the act.

My favourite tropes are: Rivals to friends/lovers and friends/lovers to rivals. Found family. Secret identities. Funny slice of life situations.

Opinion on shipping (for a specific character or in general): It's good 👍 I'm a huge sucker for slowburn. I don't like jumping into ships because I love building up to them. Sometimes baking the cake is more fun than eating it if you catch my drift.

I get inspired to write by doing this: Listen to music that feels appropriate to the storyline's current mood, hallucinate the scene with my mind's eye, write down the main idea I want to convey in my reply, note a couple of bullet points then take a break and come back when I'm able to revise my ideas and actually write the reply. This is mostly for big threads with big plot points, or threads I've lost the initial creative inertia for. I don't always take breaks to revise, but this is mostly the gist of my process.

One of my favourite threads/drabbles/etc: On my SpyxFam blog, my Yor and I wrote an AMAZING thread in which our fake spouses found each other after my muse had to fake his death. I think it was the best thread I've ever written with someone. My incredible RP partner helped me push against my writing limits & I feel like I am a much better writer thanks to them. I think our thread went for 6 months lol it was such a good experience!!! I've also written Lilith a couple years ago with an incredible Lucifer that I hold fondly to my heart. It was just as good!

A writing partner (or partners!) I've enjoyed writing with: My incredible Yor on my SXF blogs and a couple of writers I've sadly lost contact with. I hope they're fine.

A mutual I want to write with but haven't yet: Oh man, all of you!

Even though I've only been here for a little while, most of my threads have focused on interactions between my Yor and @twiloid's Loid. As such, I've agreed to become her main Yor and she's agreed to become my main Loid!

From now on, any Loid I reference in random asks, threads, etc, will be referring to Kotys' Loid. Now! That doesn't mean I'm not open to rping with other Loid's! I'm very duplicate friendly! In those threads and any asks that refer to interactions with a specific Loid, those will be tagged and pinged accordingly.

Thank you, Kotys!

ONE ( ALIAS / NAME ): Rishi

TWO ( BIRTHDAY ): 01 December

THREE ( ZODIAC SIGN ): Sagittarius

FOUR ( HEIGHT ):  5′2 or 157.5 cm (I’m a smol!) 

FIVE ( HOBBIES ): watching anime, baking, watching cooking competitions, reading cook books & traveling! 

SEVEN ( FAVOURITE BOOKS ):  I’ve read a lot as a kid and as a teen, nowadays... not so much haha. But I’ll list some of my favorites: The Series of Unfortunate Events, The Hobbit, & The Eragon Series. Mangawise: Inuyasha, Bleach, and Skip Beat.

EIGHT ( LAST SONG LISTENED TO ): Break the Wall by Dreamcatcher (if any of you like edgier kpop, I really recommend this girl group, they are amazing!)

NINE ( LAST SHOW WATCHED ): Yashahime - the spinoff of Inuyasha that focuses on the daughters of Inuyasha & Sesshomaru 

TEN ( INSPIRATION FOR MUSE ): Honestly, Renji didn’t have a good impression on me with his first meeting. But as we progress later in the Soul Society arc and find out his backstory, I think I really started to fall in love with him. He has such good character development throughout the series, as he proves himself to be more than just a dumb brute who has muscles and tattoos. I love his sense of justice, and while he can be hotheaded and brash, he’s still an experienced warrior and it really shows in his actions sometimes. I really wanted to capture the more serious part of his character, in this blog, while also showcasing his idiotic/silly side that everyone knows is Renji. I hope I am doing him justice. 

ELEVEN ( MEANING BEHIND YOUR URL ):  Uh, pretty self explanatory haha. It was honestly such a whim decision to create this URL. Not the most... witty but idk the vibe is just so Renji. Ah please do join the Pineapple Army if you can ^^ We would appreciate it. Pineapples and fruit salads are on the house, always!

I was tagged by @soy-celeste ages ago. This was hard but also super rewarding because I really got to take a deep dive in the murky depths of my own music library. Thanks for thinking of me, Cata💕

Task: choose TEN SONGS that describe your personal aesthetic / how you see yourself. Bonus points if you write a little explanation for each song, that‘s not a must though.

List under a read more because it turned out really long and includes some very personal and possibly triggering mental health stuff.

I'm tagging @capitanogiorgio @hendos @furiousflamewolf @checoswin and @diegoalvesisgod

1. Nakashima Mika - 僕が死のうと思ったのは

The title loosely translates to "The reason I thought I'd die" or "The time I thought I'd die". Yes, I went there right off the bat.

Let's get something straight: I'm not suicidal. I have never been actively suicidal, despite struggling with depression and anxiety most of my teenage/adult life. However, what this song captures for me is the feeling when you're not actively thinking about killing yourself, but you do have this empty feeling when you think there's no point for you being alive. And that's something I'm very familiar with.

There are a couple lines I wanna highlight, even though the whole song hits me very hard whenever I listen to it:

その木漏れ日でうたた寝したら、虫の死骸と土になれるかな

If I lie down beneath the sunlight streaming through the trees, will I become like the dirt and insect remains?

あなたのような人が生きてる世界に少し期待するよ

If people like you are living in this world, then maybe it’s alright to hope a little too.

The first line does what I talked about to above: it's the feeling when you just lie down and wonder if anything would change if you just disappeared. The second line -- last one of the song -- has more hope. It's when you find a reason to believe in the future and realize there is still a reason to live. Personally, I'm trying to hang very hard on that last thought even when the world seems to be against me.

(Full translation in a pinned comment under the Youtube video)

2. The Ark - Little Dysfunk You

No essay here. I just needed to have The Ark on the list because they're the official soundtrack of my life, the first band whose album I bought myself, and who taught me it was okay not to fit in. I even have a tattoo that says "a little dysfunk" because my best friend and I have been relating to this song long before either one of us realized we weren't neurotypical. It's the very dysfunctional ode to our friendship, and I love it.

3. Elton John - Rocket Man

I feel like this might be a universal experience growing up neurodiverse and/or an outsider. You spend years feeling like you're alone in space, on another planet, and you want to connect with people but at the same time know that once you come back, you still won't be the person others want or expect you to be. The challenge is to accept that and realize it's okay and you don't need to change yourself for others. And it really is hard when you're raised in a society where the odds are stacked against you.

4. Sanni - Jos mä oon oikee

Look, I'm giving you something in Finnish too!

Sanni is one of the Finnish artists whose breakthrough I originally missed because I was living abroad. I only properly discovered her a couple years after moving back, when I was driving a lot for my work and hence listening to the radio much more than I used to. Her songs just kept standing out from the rest: her lyrics had this amazing depth even when she was singing about mundane stuff -- like, she was finding these painful truths I hadn't ever spoken but felt very clearly.

That said, I had to choose the one song that's actually very upfront with this idea of being an outsider and not feeling like a part of this world. The title translates to "If I am real" and that pretty much sums it up. It's a song about feeling lonely in the middle of a crowded room, feeling like no one sees you or cares what you do. I personally have this habit of taking a step back and observing people rather than getting involved -- and even when I do, it rarely feels like it's really me out there, because I'm so used to masking and acting like everyone else just to fit in, you know?

I'll finish this off with my favourite verse, translated by yours truly. The last line especially hits home super hard no matter how many times I hear it.

Rautatieasema maanantaina ruuhkaisa Kaikilla tuntuu olevan kiire ja suunta Mä oon ulkopuolella vaik seison sisällä Jos oon jo kotona miten voi olla koti-ikävä

The railway station on Monday is crowded Everyone seems to be in a rush and have a direction I'm outside even though I'm standing inside How can I feel homesick when I'm already home

5. Shobha - Last Exit To Freedom

Full disclosure: Degrassi has been one of my comfort series for many, many years. When this song was first introduced in Next Class, it hit me really hard because it was woven into this whole storyline about depression and suicide, which at the time spoke to me a lot. I repeat, I have never been suicidal, but I do get the headspace that could drive people into it.

However, listening to it again now, it's mostly the message of hope that shines through to me. It's a song that can take two very different readings depending on what your own baggage is. And the series actually acknowledges that later on, which I think is not only beautiful but also extremely important.

There's empty places in my life and I need to breathe There's empty spaces on the map waiting there for me

I've never felt more free than when I actually drop my responsibilities and just go where I want to go. I need that space to breathe, and that's why it has always been such a relief when I could just pack up and start over in a new place. Some might call it running away from my troubles -- and they wouldn't be completely wrong -- but that doesn't change the fact that I've always valued my own freedom above any arbitrary societal norms.

6. Scandinavian Music Group - Näin minä vihellän matkallani

SMG is another one of those bands I grew up on and have seen live several times, so they needed to be here. This song is more on the "aesthetic" end of scale than how I see myself. In fact, I've many times hoped I could be like the narrator of this song. I'll give you a couple of verses to explain:

Kun minulta viedään kaikki Autan kantamaan Ja kun lopulta kaadun Teen sen näyttävästi

When everything's taken from me I'll help them carry it And when I finally fall I'll do it with a flair

Minä vihellän matkallani Näin minä vihellän matkallani Jos sen on oltava niin Olkoon sitten niin

I'm whistling on my journey See how I'm whistling on my journey If this is how things have to be Then so be it

It's this carefree attitude. Laughing in the face of hardship and controversy. There's another amazing line about getting back to the saddle after you fall and swearing you'd do it all over again. I've never been able to do that, because I carry all my old failures and pains so close to the surface, and could never just shake them off with a shrug, no matter how minor.

But on another level, I keep hearing from people who I thought knew me that I don't seem depressed. And who can blame them: on the outside, it probably looks like I bounce back from hardships really fast, because I'm so used to masking my issues that the moment I'm physically capable of doing it, I will. So you might say this song is a picture of my outer self, though it hardly mirrors what's really going on.

7. Queen - Don't Stop Me Now

I'm a firm believer that if my life was a teen movie, this is the song I'd have playing in the final scene where I'd just go "fuck that" and started dancing with @mirkwoodstock in the middle of the parking lot of something. It's my ultimate party anthem, the one that always has me dancing and singing along no matter where I am.

Back when we were at the university, Nanna and I used to go to this rock'n'roll club in town and they'd always play Don't Stop Me Now close to the end of the night, and it really became our song. Like, no matter how shitty I felt, when it came on, I'd be there, and so would she. And that's why it also deserves to be on the list.

8. Blind Channel - Died Enough For You

Throwing a rare newer song into the mix. The moment I heard this song, I knew I'd be listening to it a lot. There's also an acoustic version if you're not a fan of the genre or if you just wanna have a different perspective. Blind Channel is also representing Finland in Eurovision next week, and I'm living for it.

Advertising aside, Died Enough For You takes me to some really dark times in my life. I've been in relationships, both romantic and not, where I've been carrying the other person and giving so much of myself, risking my own mental health (which was not that good to begin with) and not getting much in return. There comes a point where you have to prioritize yourself and admit that dragging yourself into the same abyss is not going help anyone. Unfortunately, usually it takes more strength to admit that and leave than to stay in the relationship that's hurting you.

I'm still talking to some of these people, but I've learned to give myself a permission to sign off when I notice that by helping them I'm only hurting myself more. Someone else's wellbeing cannot be my responsibility when I'm struggling to keep myself afloat. And I truly hope everyone who is supporting me also knows that.

9. Aqua Timez - 真夜中のオーケストラ

Title translates to "Midnight Orchestra". Yes, it's from Naruto. I discovered it back when I was still more involved in anime fandom stuff, and fell for it again year ago when I binged the anime when to lockdowns started, because I needed an escape.

And what an escape it was. Have you ever heard a song and immediately went "I need a tattoo of this", or is that just me? I'm probably not going to get a tattoo because I don't trust non-Japanese artists to get the kanjis right, but the song still captures something very real about loneliness that's not really visible but still very much there. Like, the moment when you meet a person you can truly relate to and for the first time realize you'd been feeling lonely all that time. That's what this song describes to me.

Below are a few verses towards the end of the song. I've bolded the one that first caught my attention (and which I still have as the title of my Japan sideblog).

真夜中の詩が叫んだ「僕ほんとうは独りが　嫌いだ　大嫌いだ」 独りぼっちで　生きてゆけてしまうなんてこと

The song of midnight cried out "I truly hate being alone more than anything" I hate to go on living completely alone…

幸せなんて　小さなスプーンで掬えるくらいで充分なんだ 分け合える人がいるか　いないかだけ

All I need is being able to scoop happiness with a tiny spoon so long as I have someone to share it with

(Full translation)

真夜中の詩は叫ぶよ「僕ほんとうは　僕ほんとうは　淋しかった」 太陽の眩しさに　かき消されても

The song of midnight cried out "I was truly, truly… lonely" Even if I were to be erased by the sun's radiance

10. Jenni Vartiainen (Apulanta) - Mato

This song, named "Worm", was originally released by Finnish rock band Apulanta in 1997. The lyrics, while they might make sense as individual statements, are basically gibberish when you combine them into one piece and try to understand the meaning. There is none. Anyways, the version I chose is a remake by another artist, first performed on the Finnish version of The Best Singers format. It doesn't make any more sense, I just like it better because Jenni is hot and she made it so much fun.

And the reason it's on this list? Welcome to my brain, folks! Sometimes, especially when I'm overwhelmed by lots of external stimuli, my mind tends to just wander wherever the hell it pleases and make connections even I don't get. It also likes to forget the stuff I said just a second a go, so I can switch subjects on the go without even noticing. It's very soothing to have music that doesn't require me to make those connections when that happens.

And now, I shall close this massive post with the first verse of this masterpiece:

Minä tahdon ulos, tahdon ulos kattilasta Minä tahdon pelastaa vielä sinutkin kiehumasta Minä tahdon lentää ulos vessan ikkunasta Minä tahdon tietää kaiken teidän karkkimaasta

I want out, I want out of this kettle I also want to save you from boiling I want to fly out of the toilet window I want to know everything about your candy land

Stay safe and take care of yourselves my dears💕

[wafflii]

I was tagget by @trialandseed to make my girls with this picrew! Thank you so much!

Trying to catch up to all my tags n all... :”D

So here’s Kotie and Laurie ^^

[fangirlinglikealoon]

@badhockeymom tagged me, thank you! 🥰

Name/Alias: I’m Miia, hi! 😂

Birthday: November 20th

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio

Height: 176,6 cm (every millimeter is important! 😂) / between 5′9 and 5′10

Hobbies: Watching hockey, watching movies, fangirling, reading, playing videogames. I should start to swim again and go out on walks more. During winter I try to knit stuff for myself and my godson so I guess that could count as a hobby 🤔

Favorite Colors: Green and black

Favorite Books:  Well, Harry Potter books and the A Song of Ice and Fire series. And I know this is not a book per se but @linskywords fic The Sweetest Sounds I'll Ever Hear is definitely one of my favourite things I’ve ever read.

Last Song I Listened To: Kaunis koti by Sanni

Last Film I Watched: Umm... Dark Places was on TV the other night so I guess it’s that. The last film I watched in the movie theatre was the new version of Aladdin

Love: My bf, my cat, family and friends, hockey, music, movies, Loki, ocean, winter

Something That Helps People: What I do to help others or in general? 🤔 I try to be there for others, to listen and comfort in any way I can. Try to give something else to think about or just be there so they can vent as much as needed. Sometimes a good hug is all it takes to help. I’m usually the one who’s always saying yes to things to make others feel better and the first one there if something shitty happens to a friend. For myself, it’s these things that help and also escapism. It always helps to escape the real world either by reading, watching or listening to something. It takes my mind off of things and I feel more relaxed. Sometimes I just create a fantasy world and stay there, in my head, for a while and then I feel better.

Meaning Behind URL: Well it’s kinda me in a nutshell to be honest 😂 Fangirling is what I do, I get so excited and hyped. You should see me in a hockey game or when I suddenly spot something MCU-related somewhere and it’d make a lot sense 😂 Some of my friends have said that they wished they could get as excited about things as I do. The like a loon part comes from Tom Hiddleston. He said years ago about doing something “like a loon” and I figured that it describes my fangirling and it’d make a fun URL and here we are 😂

Again I should tag people but I’m still a lazy-ass human so I tag all of you just by saying so: YOU’RE TAGGED! 😁 Go ahead people and do this if you feel like it and let me know if you’ve already done this, I’d love to know more about you guys :)
