#these were fun! thank you for asking :D

[varjopeura]

🎯, ❤️, 🥊 for any/all of the blorbos! I'm curious about the lot of 'em. :D

🎯 -What do they do best?

(I'll include a few word introductions of the blorbos here too, gives the answers just a little bit of context)

Todenmukaisuus (or Tomu for short, since her name is so. fucking. long. Fun fact: her name would directly translate to Veracity!) is my current D&D character and main blorbo, a light-hearted tiefling rogue running from her past and trying to make friends with everyone she meets. Tomu would love to claim that she is an excellent liar, swindler and snake oil salesman, very good at persuading people to pay money for things they definitely should not buy - but she isn't half as good a liar as she wants to be. Yes, she's very good at crafting her fake potions and forging papers, but the moment she tries to cook up a good hoax in practice she ends up being way out of her depth. Her actual talents are in the crafting bits. (Like, don't get me wrong, she actually should be very good with the lying too, she definitely has the stats and skills required for it - she just can't for the life of her roll any good when she attempts deception.)

Glimmer, my precious, my favourite, my literal ray of sunshine, is a tiefling cleric of the Dawnfather Pelor, devout in her worship of powers of light and good. Glimmer is a healer in both physical and spiritual sense. She knows how to treat a wound, be it with magic or stitches, and while she's patching you up she's going to do her best to get your mind at ease, too. Whatever worries you, she'll make sure it's not your problem anymore - whatever you've done is more than enough, you are enough, you are loved, she loves you. And whatever it was that worried you, those are now Her worries, her burdens to bear. She's way too good at taking responsibility in things she can't change, and exceptionally good at worrying about stuff.

Lila is a young half-elf with a newly found sorcerous talent and a found family consisting of a major criminal organization. Currently deeply involved in a war between said organization's different factions. Lila has a natural affinity to magic that mainly has to do with death and undeath. She is a trained liar and manipulator, as well as a thief and smuggler. I'd still consider her true talent to be Following Orders. She will do anything and everything her criminal family requires her to do, and no matter how hard the task, she will keep going at it until she finds a way to succeed. Left at her own devices, she will usually either freeze or do something extremely stupid, but when someone else is there planning things and giving orders she really shines at executing the plans.

Aalo is my character in our Vampire: the Masquerade campaign! She's a professional art photographer and hobbyist ghost hunter, and these days also a horrifying undead abomination vampire, plagued by prophetic visions and unpleasant hallucinations. Aalo has spent her entire life studying all things paranormal and occult, and her strongest skillsets lie in using that knowledge to her benefit. She's also useful to have around for some light breaking and entering, but other than that? She is actually kind of useless, I love me a pathetic woman :D

(ohhh this is going to get Long, isn't it?)

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

Todenmukaisuus' favourite memory is actually a fairly recent one! (Mainly because the good memories of her past are now shaded by feelings of heartbreak and betrayal - the wonderful memories of hangout sessions with your best friend aren't as wonderful after you've realized the horrifying amounts of abuse and gaslighting that same friend subjected you to). But even ignoring that, the enchanted bubble bath shared with a whole bunch of new friends would've made the list of Tomu's best memories. Her party had just arrived to a new city, one that she'd wanted to see for ages, and were staying for the night in a Super Cool Wizard Tower with a Super Cool Wizard living in it. Attached to their room was a small bathroom with a bathtub enchanted to always stay warm, with fresh water constantly pouring in in a gentle stream. The walls were covered with shelves filled with dozens of little bottles of perfumes and soaps and bubble solutions, all of them of delightful and exotic smells and colors. After weeks on the road and months running from her past, that kind of luxury in itself was a dream come true! But the most important thing was that there, crammed into a one-person bathtub with two other people, playing with the floating bubbles and laughing and play-fighting, Tomu felt really and truly safe and happy for the first time in gods know how long. At that moment she realized she wasn't traveling with these people because of some duty or debt or even convenience, but because she Actually Liked them. They were Her people, and this was Her city, and everything was going to be okay after all.

One of Glimmer's fondest memories is from a time she was very young, so it's more of a series of brief recollections and feelings than an actual scene. She was maybe six?, seven? at the time, spending her time learning how to read. It was a particularly beautiful day, so her teacher took their lessons to a nearby park, where she could study sitting under a great oak tree. Glimmer remembers the warm sun on her skin, the sounds of birds, the painstaking process of slowly turning the symbols on paper into spoken syllables and words; a deep sigh after a challenging sentence, a laugh, her hand brushing the soft green grass; her fingers finding a four-leaf clover and picking it up; her teacher agreeing to save the lucky clover between the pages of a book; the feeling of having a mutual secret and the spark of friendship forming between the teacher and the student. Glimmer still carries the dried clover with her in her adventures, as a personal treasure from her past.

Oh, Lila gave me the hardest time with this one! She vehemently refuses to pick a single memory among many happy ones - the good times before the Bad Stuff Happening were good, that's the end of it. No need to dwell on memories when there's things to fix in the present.

The absolute highlight of Aalo's life and undeath was her first art gallery exhibit. The rush of seeing her works on someone else's walls, the same works that were so often described as off-putting or unnecessarily macabre, and seeing people actually Looking at them, interested in them. Interested in what she had to say with her art. Appreciating her vision. She never quite figured out the right words to describe her feelings at that time, but nonetheless she's been chasing those same feelings over and over again ever since.

🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?

Todenmukaisuus loves encountering anything New and Interesting and Exciting, be it a new person or item or activity. She loves traveling to places she hasn't yet seen, loves getting swept up into unexpected adventures, and loves spending her money on useless but beautiful gifts for her friends. She absolutely fucking hates touching anything dirty or gross or otherwise icky (unless it's some poisonous substance you can squeeze out of a defeated monster, then it loops right back into the 'interesting new things' category, for some reason).

Glimmer enjoys the simple things in life. Baking fresh bread, sitting down with a cup of tea after a day's hard work, finding some peace and quiet in meditation. And, altough she might not readily admit it, she really loves casting Fireballs. What's not to love in a big fiery boom! She hates spending prolonged times outside of daylight, and talking to pompous people in positions of power.

Lila loves to drink expensive wine in good company (or cheap wine in Really Good company), she loves going out to all the super fancy places and behaving like a real and proper upper class girl would, but more than anything she loves getting into dumb and completely avoidable trouble, going 'yes and' to bad ideas until she's horribly tangled in a very bad scenario, and then desperately wriggling her way out of it. She hates having to make actual Important Decisions without someone telling her what to do.

Aalo's favourite activity in the whole wide world is to uncover secrets, dig up dirt on people, and solve mysteries, especially of the supernatural kind. She also deeply loves photography, including every step of the process from planning elaborate ideas and weird technical tricks to actually developing the film. She hates staying still and spending her nights alone.

doflamingo would be dealt with. that’s what this note said, that letter here, this crumpled report. finally, doflamingo’s last hand was dealt. it must have haunted him, but love prevailed. it was printed on his shirt, inked after signatures, scrawled on his polaroids. now, he was free. law cracked the window, lit up, and coughed up. it was time to put those notes to rest. together.

mango + 7, atsulucy + 9, lemon futon + 4 and 14, ada kunichuu + 6, bramcraft + 2, fukumori + 15

Bestie if I knew you were gonna send me so many I would have sent you more in return. Damn.

Anyways

Mushiango: 7. Which one is the worse driver

It's Mushitaro. I'm not saying he can't drive, but I would like to point out that between him and Ango, one of them has the ability to erase their traffic violations, and the other we have canonically see driving with no problems, therefor I'll let you do the math on this one.

Atsulucy: 9. Which one swears more

See you think I'd say Lucy no questions asked, but honestly I think it's a tie. Lucy tries to avoid cussing in her work environment, meanwhile Atsushi's probably encouraged in his work environment, so in the end I think it balances out.

Lemon Futon: 4.What they do on date night

Hm... I think they either switch it up so each person gets a turn deciding for each date night (Kajii usually drags Katai out places like dinner or the opera, Katai usually decides on movies they can watch or food to order in) and/or date night becomes cuddle nights.

14. What nicknames they call each other

Bean Bag immediately came to mind as something Kajii calls Katai so I'm absorbing that into my personal canon. Kajii probably has sooo many nicknames for Katai, honestly, the most I get from Katai is a sweet petname or two. Darling, love, etc etc. Kajii swoons over-dramatically every time and Katai regrets it every time (but, well, not really).

Kunichuu: 6. How they decorated their bedroom

Kunikida was insistent their room be practical and efficient and neutral, they could always change things up later in life when they were more certain of what they wanted and not just two 19 year olds getting their first space. And while the organization and well-keptness of the room remains...

Well. Chuuya found a cheap pack of those glow-in-the-dark star stickers, and while they started as a joke to see how long it'd take Kunikida to find each one (not just on the ceiling, hidden in corners or just behind furniture) they've both grown fond of them, now.

Bramcraft: 2. What their love letters look like

Not sue about canon/post-canon (especially with. Y'know) but pre-canon? Bram writes The most dramatic, flower, purple prose cursive you've seen in your Life. His letters are essentially poetry, endless and going on and on and calling Lovecraft all sorts of wonderful and beautiful things, never less than two or three pages.

Lovecraft's are cryptic, short, and written in ink. They are always mildly damp, smell like either saltwater or fish, and to most sound more like indecipherable scrawlings than notes of love. But Bram understands them, and treasures each and every one.

Fukumori: 15. What they would change about each other

Oh boy. Okay, so

The thing about Fukumori is they both love this city, both believe in a greater good for this city, and both know this about the other. They just wish the other would agree with their way of going about it.

Fukuzawa thinks Mori's actions are too cruel, too bloody, and in the end that the Port Mafia is not what this city needs. Mori believes the Armed Detective Agency is too ineffective to save the city from true threats, in the end, believes them too soft and that, in the end, Fukuzawa will go with his heart and not his mind.

It's a shame, really, both of them think. Their mutual love for this city, their recognition of one another's dark pasts and bloody hands, are part of what draw them to each other. Yet their different way of handling these are what will inevitably drive them apart.

23 16 and 8! hellooooo

Hi, friend!!!! ✨✨

8. you hope more people will come to appreciate ___

Selina Kyle. Yes, I'm aware that Catwoman is one of DC's most iconic and well known characters, but most of the time she's only seen as either Batman's love interest or as the sexualized thief who's only there as fan service for the comic dude bros. I wish more ppl took the time to appreciate her as her own character.

16. a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate

I have already ranted about this in a previous post, but I have to go with how Cass' martial arts training affects her view of herself and how it affects how she interacts with the world. What makes her her isn't just her guilt and her trauma, but the perfectionism born from her love for martial arts.

Also... John Constantine's pierced lobe xD I think that little detail from the early Hellblazer comics was perfect for his character. I miss it and I want it back.

(From Hellblazer #14)

23. the fandom you're curious about because of a mutual

Dungeon Meshi. I see it everywhere and a lot of my mutuals seem to love it dearly.

Truth be told, I watched the first two episodes and it didn't capture me (I'm so sorry, friends). But I'm still curious about it and I'm considering giving it another try.

[capn-twitchery]

for the ask game - 16, 17, 18 for Twitch! I also hope you're feeling better now and wish you a great day

(@letters-of-fire)

16. What makes their stomach turn?

i think it's difficult to make their stomach turn--twitch is a Very Unflappable person in general, and especially not squeamish.

but, i guess predictably, anything to do with red honey will make them do a 180 immediately--whether it's disgust, fear or anger depends on the situation, but the feeling is always intense enough to make their stomach turn. finding out someone indulges in red honey, smuggles it, thinking for longer than a second about their own experiences-even slight head pain, the smell of roses, or the sound of buzzing can set them off.

semi-related, certain areas of parabola, namely the Waswood, makes their stomach drop and they can never quite figure out why. it just makes them feel Off and anxious, weirdly unlike themselves. irem makes them feel similarly-the branching timelines & trying to make sense of fragments of time.

also semi-related, their glasses falling off or having their eyes uncovered around people causes them anxiety like Nothing else. people close to their face in general, really.

17. Are they easily embarrassed? & 18. What embarrasses them?

HA god no, they barely have enough shame to get embarrassed. they are very unapologetically & confidently Twitch. at this point attracting scandal just comes with the territory, so they try to make a show of it when they can

if they're having a Really off day, though, (it's complicated in that brain with all those memories, after all) then someone pointing out one of their inconsistencies might strike a nerve, if it's someone who's company they value.

realising almost all of these stem from red honey stuff but it's really the only thing that Deeply troubles them. they don't care enough about other people's opinions & aren't afraid of dying, so not much else gets to them!

asks from here!

[erstwhilesparrow]

For the ask meme! How about your choice between 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 19, or 27 for your choice of Outsider SMP ship, if you have any!

ship asks game

ooooh. am i allowed to do all of them. will i be publicly executed for doing all of them. well. okay. let's pick mohwee/owen for ship and see how many of them are actually applicable.

Who is the better cook?

i'm... worried that it might be owen? i cannot imagine either of them are doing fantastic things with food and at least he knows how to bake. UNLESS. mohwee after his [horrible no-good very bad time in the maze alone] gets very into cooking. he is going to have something better than raw scallions and it's going to be something he makes with his own two dang hands. the outsiders have farms and campfires and maybe even utensils; he could make Anything! okay i've decided mohwee wins on power of [that would be cute]. owen is by turns encouraging, bemused, and competitive about this hobby.

3. Are they into PDA? Who initiates most?

ohhhhh my god owen will implode and die if anyone so much as looks at him too fondly. if they are doing any pda ever it is initiated by mohwee and only happening because he's doing his level best to embarrass/confuse owen.

5. Who is the cheesier one of the two?

mohwee will happily do things for the bit, and this includes being cheesy. owen is just. disarmingly sincere sometimes, in a way that he is not registering as cheesiness, but might nevertheless be cheesy. mohwee, on the other hand, is gleefully making owen roll his eyes with every other sentence out of his mouth. if any of it loops back around to being sincere, he certainly is not admitting to it.

6. Who is always, always running late?

answering in the spirit of the question: i don't think mohwee is actually always running late but he is less often on time than owen "was a soldier who had it drilled into him deeper than his bones that he Must be punctual" keldor. it's another fantastic way to aggravate owen <3

answering in the outsiders sense of running: it's still mohwee. i think in the earliest days sometimes he just. decides to check something in the maze and it's like late afternoon and it drives everyone, owen especially, up the wall. after his Very Bad Time, he does this less.

8. Who is a morning person? Who is a night owl?

you know what. i think if you asked them, mohwee would say he's a night owl and owen would say he's a morning person, but the actual thing is the maze has fucked with their sleep and sense of time so bad neither of them cleanly fit into these categories.

9. Who travels lighter?

oh. difficult. might be mohwee just because owen is so often carrying weapons and food and a clock around with him? he needs his quiver and his spear and all that and mohwee is used enough to not having much. he is saying this is fine to cover up for how he's Not Thinking About It and owen does not think this is fine at all.

19. What do they fight about most often? (Alternative: what was their biggest fight?)

um. well. empirically they fight most often about how to handle the maze. and who should be in charge. and who should go into the maze. and when. and whose terrible coping mechanisms are actually right and correct and adaptive. and so forth. but you knew that already. ^^; in the alternate universe where they actually Get Together, perhaps they can argue about who makes the best pie.

27. Craziest place they had sex?

i would say in the woods but like. early outsiders the clearing is Mostly trees, as far as i can tell, so given the givens, not actually really wild place to have sex? ditto for in a cave. owen spent like. what. days or weeks living out of that cave under the water. maybe mohwee proposes fucking in the maze once, but they're not doing that.

[good-beans]

Tsumi's ask game: 2, 3, 4, 6 for Fuuta and Mappi!

Woo thank you so much :3 I promise I didn't go overboard but there were still a bunch so they're under the cut

2. favorite mv moment/frame?

This first one, hands down. Of course I love all frames of my little skrunkly (especially in his little knights outfit :3) but this moment in particular gave me chills. I could write a whole essay on how well Bring it On shows the melding of imagination/reality in a way that isn’t infantilizing. It’s not like a little kid getting carried away thinking of their fake stories, this happens to everyone – this has happened to me. Between the glitching and the beat in the music, this really gut-punched me with the feeling of letting yourself get carried away. Shoutout to the second one because it’s epic and I edited a lockscreen with it for a while. (extra shoutout to when he wipes the blood off his face ough I love that one too)

3. favorite non-mv official illustration?

the pv shot who said that. Lmao I actually really liked the 3rd anniversary art! It really captured that shit eating grin, and somehow maintains the perfect balance of making him look genuinely creepy/intimidating and still like a loser asdfsdf. In general he just looks real good in it :3 I know it’s like three tiny panels but I also love his Clock Over Orquestra look ;-;

4. favorite minigram episode/moment?

THERE’S SO MANY LOL I think it has to be the pause of silence as Amane makes fun of his height, but I’m so obsessed with the starry-eyed panel when he’s watching Yuno do cat’s cradle ;---; (eng versions from thinkin-bout-milgram)

6. favorite relationships with another character in the prison?

In general it’s Yuno, but a lot of that is from my own analysis/brainrot/fic writing 😭 I will never shut up about how his initial impression of violence was revealed to be in her defense, rather than his own aggression!!! They’re very similar and where they’re not, they’re complimentary. They are so special to me. If we’re talking mainly canon, it’s definitely him and Amane :’) Some parts are healthy and healing, some parts are fucking them both up more, but it’s all very fun and interesting. 

2. favorite mv moment/frame?

You’re making me choose??? You’re making me choose only one frame of my beautiful beautiful wife????

Seriously though, this one. I know it may be cliche as her Classic Frame but for someone who really relates to her “out of control” emotions and toxic positivity habits, it really hit hard!! It puts you in her victim's shoes, but still in the mindscape, and is just so unsettling and sad ;-;

3. favorite non-mv official illustration?

Definitely her birthday art! She’s so beautiful and happy in it <3 I love the dress, love the cake, love the flowers, it’s perfect! I enjoy her various anniversary art, but it always makes me sad seeing them try and paint her as creepy. I get it, but the whole point of her character is that there’s nothing literally creepy/mean about her ;--; (Referring to my previous answer, that's how you make her creepy. You put the viewer in her victim's shoes and make her just as cheery as always.)

4. favorite minigram episode/moment?

Her “I bet I could” because she Could!!! I believe in her 😤 It was such a cute minigram overall but after so much canon content of her struggling to keep up with what society/others expect of her I loved seeing her have some confidence in herself, even if it was silly :3 Ahh I also love her keeping up with Kotoko at jumprope! She may be small but she can keep up with the best of ‘em 💪

6. favorite relationships with another character in the prison?

Also Yuno lol! I love how much they care for each other, especially now that Yuno has been looking after her in T2 ;-; In general they make such a cool parallel – they both have crimes related to a partnership with a man, both pay attention to the picture-perfect ideal of a woman that society expects, but are complete opposites regarding honesty/masks. My secret little favorite is Fuuta, but once again that’s really all from headcanoned interactions and parallels 😅

[iobsesswaytoomuch]

Holo :]

I have a few questions for ya

Would you rather have a prosthetic arm or prosthetic leg?

Also...

Have you ever pulled an all-nighter? (If you haven't, I don't recommend it lol)

I have no idea where these questions came from, I just thought of them literally now.

Anywizzle, I hope you have a great rest of your day/night Obby! It's always good to see/talk to ya <3 and I hope you're doing well :] 🫂❤️

Hiiiii!!!! :D

Hmmmm.... Probably prosthetic leg. I've experienced both a broken arm, and a broken foot, so I can kind of imagine. While having a broken foot is MUCH worse than a broken arm, I have no idea what mobility prosthetics give, but if it meant I wouldn't be able to draw, play an instrument well, or other things I love well, I'd rather have a prosthetic leg. With the boot, which is similar in a way, I can still walk and stuff, so it's okay. Plus, if I were able to still do aerial, which I bet I could with practice, that'd be all the better. It'd be a lot harder to do stuff I love with a prosthetic arm than it'd be with a prosthetic leg, especially aerial. Most of the things that make me happy require hand and finger dexterity, so yeah! Prosthetic leg :)

Though never on purpose, yes, I unfortunately have😂 insomnia problems :D👍 (I feel you😔)

Thank you for the questions!! Pppfffttt😂 I mean, a lot of good questions come from spur of the moment ideas😂

Thank you!!! You too!! :] right back at ya!! Hope you're doing good too :] <333 🫂💙

[s-ccaam-era-crepe]

18, 33, and 59 for the ask game you just reblogged!

18. do you miss how things were a year ago?

No. I thought I might have to think about this a little longer but no. Not at all in fact. I’ve strengthened the good friendships in my life, lost the ones that were bad for me, I’m dating the most sweet, kind, and wonderful person in the world and I’m really happy where I am all things considered. It could be better, and I’m still struggling a lot with some things but overall I’m happy with a lot of people a lot of the time so <3

33. something you want to learn

On a real level, how to communicate better, deal with emotions better etc. most everything a therapist could give me lmao. But less serious I want to learn how to do poetry on a wheel better, it’s so fun and I really want to be able to do it <3

59. why i joined tumblr

Hmm, so I had a different tumblr originally in 2020 and I joined that because I wanted to be able to interact with the fandoms I was in. Then I had to delete it which yeah was probably for the best ngl. And then I joined back in 2022 because I got into podcasts and I saw that the fandoms for podcasts were pretty big on here and I reallyyy wanted to talk about podcasts with fans, and now I’m here :))

Ask Game

[sunnythanalan]

Hmm 3 and 11 for the ask meme ^^

Thank you so much! ♡♡

✨ pre-dawntrail wol questions! ✨

3. Tahn's evening routine depends entirely on where he is. If he's home in his own apartment/room in Mor Dhona, he'll probably be in the inn drinking and playing games with other adventurers until he crawls upstairs and passes out.

If he's at his childhood home visiting his family he'll be spending the evenings with them. A whole lot more wholesome as his mother makes sure he eats balanced meals and get enough sleep. He'll probably play a bit with whichever younger brother is visiting at the same time, eat a late supper and help with the evening care of his father's chocobos.

While adventuring he typically spends his evenings drawing the impressions of the day in his journal. Lately he's been attempting to write as well, since Y'shtola, Alphinaud and Urianger has summoned all their patience to attempt teaching him how to write and read (his dyslexia isn't helping). It's going slow, but he's getting somewhere!

11. The calamity did indeed change his life, or at least his perception of his own helplessness in the face of overwhelming destructive power. He was thirteen at the time and as the skies opened, Tahn and his father had to run to the stables in an attempt to save their chocobos. There was little they could do but set them free, hoping that their chocobo intelligence would lead them somewhere safer. Raising and selling chocobos is their family's business, so as they watched them run into the blazing night, they basically watched their entire livelihood disappear.

They sought refuge in the basement and waited until the ground stopped shaking, and emerged to a new dawn and complete wreckage. While their neighbourhood hadn't been directly hit, the impact of the meteors had caused earthquakes strong enough to make the less sturdy houses collapse. Their immediate neighbour, an older woman, had not been able to flee her house in time.

Tahn, instead of seeing this and perhaps wishing to find power and strength to protect those around him, fell into apathy. Everything could be taken from him at any time, so what did anything matter? A year later he ran away from home, eventually joining a pirate crew.

oc emoji ask game questions >:) (only answer the ones you want to ^-^)

🙊 SPEAK-NO-EVIL, 🎭 MASKS, 🎁 PRESENT, 🎨 PALETTE

:^OO thank you for these! And sorry they took so long :'D

It ended up a little long, so everything's neatly tucked away below ⬇️

🙊 SPEAK-NO-EVIL - what is something your oc will refuse to stay quiet about? This one was tough! I had to sleep on it, but I think Hunter would have a hard time staying quiet about the importance of nature, and holding some degree of respect for it. Having witnessed firsthand the rapid and unyielding expansion of the US American suburban sprawl as it decimated the forests, fields, and creeks that provided some peace in an otherwise turbulent childhood, and replaced them with million-dollar homes whose meticulously manicured lawns would never again see the hoofprints of whitetail deer that were once so common, I think he'd be that much more motivated to resist GED's developments.

__________________ 🎭 MASKS - do they act differently around certain people? what's different between the way they act around friends, family, strangers, etc.?

Hunter's got an easygoing, quiet nature. Combined with the resting bitchface that comes with long hours on the road and a lack of sleep, strangers probably think he's very aloof or up to no good-- but friends will know he's just an eccentric, well meaning horseboy who's always down for a ride and happens to be missing any points in a charisma or speech stat.

Having come to Jorvik in part to escape his own family back in the southeastern US, he's found something resembling a father-figure in Mr.K Trout (part of the reason he takes to fishing so much is in hopes of making him proud). Around Mr. Trout, Hunter's likely to be a little more anxious to earn approval for some lingering fear of disappointment. Strangely enough, he's most talkative around his horses, who know by now that there's an extra slice or couple jellybeans coming their way if they at least pretend to be interested in his ramblings. __________________ 🎁 PRESENT - what types of presents would they be most happy to receive? are they good at gift giving? Hunter spends most of his time wandering across Jorvik for work (mainly deliveries or requests from the fishing club), and doesn't have a ton of storage space back at his room in Cape West. He'd be most happy with small, practical gifts. A bag of horse treats, a little pocket knife, a new horse brush, a pair of gloves for the long road up into Dinosaur Valley-- things like that. If he were ever to get a permanent place of his own, I think hunter would be very fond of postcard souvenirs and random chachkies.

As far as gift giving goes? He sucks a little bit. Hunter would put a lot of thought into gifts he gives people and try to get things they like, but ultimately, they'd probably end up little tacky or strange. The kind of guy to notice you drink a lot of coffee and remember you said you liked it, but instead of getting a nice mug or fancy coffee beans-- would find something like coffee scented saddle soap or a trucker hat with coffee beans printed on the front.

__________________ 🎨 PALETTE - can they draw? what do they like to draw?

I love imagining how my characters draw so I'll let these doodles I had done for him in an old notebook answer this one:

I think he'd like drawing animals and things he notices out in the world, despite not being the best at it.

✨🛒🤡✍🏻🎶 for the writing meme! However many of those or few of them you would like I just got overzealous choosing so 😅

(Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask)

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

Ah, the dreaded self-compliment. XD I am not good at these.

I think I have gotten quite good at character voices - making them accurate to canon, hearing them in my head, distinguishing them from each other, playing them off each other. Most of my fics are very dialogue heavy and so I think my facility with this makes them stronger by far and I'm proud of that. c:

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

There are probably a lot of different answers to this (this is one of those questions where I would love to get a reader's perspective as well). Off the top of my head though - the vast majority of my fic writing falls within the theme of missing scenes - expanding on canon moments or scenarios that could have extra depth to them, filling in gaps not covered by the main story, etc. I enjoy playing with moments where two characters connect over something subtle/non-obvious that they have in common (all of my fics about Jaheira and Karlach's friendship are variations on this for instance).

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

In trying to answer this question, I have looked back at my fics and realized that while they often have a lot of humor in them, it's not really laugh-out-loud funny so much as sort of muted and laced through. Honestly, some of my best humorous moments have been in the shorter banter things I've written as part of my liveblogs - this interchange for instance always makes me smile still, and the conversation at the end of this post also.

I do get a kick out of the mental image of Lae'zel yeeting Buddy out of the tent in "Owlbear Vignettes". And I'm also proud of the lightheartedness of Peyter's introduction in "The Two Sides of the Coin" (a fic which is otherwise quite sad):

“Peyter! Ah, stlarn --” Jaheira sneezes and thumps a fist lightly against the wall, shaking her head to clear it. “Peyter, do you never clean this place?” “What good? It only gathers the dust again.” His high, cheerful voice has no immediately obvious source, but drifts from somewhere within the massive stacks of battered books and shelves of trinkets that crowd the small room on all sides. “You should know, Jaheira, that people are going around saying you're dead again.” “I am - I have merely decided to come haunt you in particular,” Jaheira says dryly.  “I should be so lucky.”

✍ Do you have a beta reader?

I do! The lovely @cindymeltzer has beta'd a number of fics for me - which is increasingly generous given I'm deep in the Baldur's Gate hyperfixation hole currently, a set of games she has not in fact played but lets me hurl feels at her about anyway. XD

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

I don't really. I'm one of those people who has to turn the music down to think clearly, especially if it has lyrics. XD

[whimsicmimic]

how was your talk?? sorry i didnt message sooner. you seemed nervous but im sure it went really well!

oh gosh, it went really well, actually! Getting the damn thing put together is always the hardest part, but getting up there and presenting was a breeze!!!! :D
