FORCE MAJEURE: NOVEL INTRO
[this is my original work, do not use / repurpose / plagiarise in any form]
GENRE: literary fiction.
SETTING: south india, early 2010s.
POV & TENSE: dual pov; present tense + third person limited.
STAGE: prepping for camp nano [my current goal for camp is 10k!]
THEMES + AESTHETICS: fatalism, chance and luck, the duality of everything, corruption, chaos vs order, manipulation, power, sacrifice, loneliness, free will, love vs obsession. the sound of waves crashing against rocks, sitting in an empty house and watching a watery dawn, saltwater seeping into your pores as you swim deeper and deeper underwater; driving through neon cities under a full moon, laughter mixing with the bright sounds of people, the buzz of contact in a room full of strangers.
CONTENT WARNINGS: cults and religious trauma, implications + discussions of emotional abuse, terrible parents, manipulation, gaslighting. [note: this wip is very new so more content warnings may be added as i go]
SUMMARY:
when twins ananya and naveen get separated while escaping their home, they find themselves in completely different places—one stumbling onto a hidden commune by the beach, the other pulled into a group of thieves in the city. this story is a dark coming-of-age where the twins must confront their obsessions with things they can’t control and what they’re willing to do to belong.
aka “i know everything happens for a reason but what the fuck”
CHARACTERS:
omg my children <3 [all picrew credits to @/sagravi’s picrew!]
ANANYA [pronounced as: uh-nun-yah]
she/they [she’s very non-binary but doesn't have the term for it in the book? so in my head she uses she/they but in the book uses she/her]
looks like she can kill you, will instead make you fall in love and slowly [and unknowingly] break your heart <3
“have you ever seen a woman so beautiful you started crying?”
unintentionally funny. says something mean and people will laugh not realising she actually meant it
carries around a lot of anger about the multiple ways in which people have wronged her and now and then just goes feral [as she should, really]
aroace and has a very longterm, very on screen crisis about it. what i learnt from this is that i cannot write an uplifting aroace story and tbh i don't know what that says about me as someone who’s also aroace.
very emotionally attached to her parents :) very emotionally detached from people in general :) suffering™
does not have a good time
NAVEEN [pronounced as: nuh-veen]
he/him [also very non-binary]
looks baby, is actually very sad
“i do not have a fake social media personality. i am genuinely this mentally ill in real life”
unintentionally unfunny. he cries himself to sleep at night because his puns weren’t well received [me too honestly]
very queer!! he’s mspec but doesn’t label himself, and honestly king <3 he also gets caught in a bisexual love triangle. the way i was anti-love triangles until this guy appeared🧍
was always the twin who was idolised and seen as the family’s future which not only put a lot of pressure on him but also strained his relationship with ananya in unexpected ways which is just :(
does not have a good time
literally i fell in love with the twins so quickly; they are so cool and are most definitely my genvy. their relationship is very central to the story despite them being separated for the most of it [if the story plays out that way]. i’m excited to actually start drafting to learn more about them + their dynamic!!
SO HOW’D THIS HAPPEN?
so a few days ago my brain said “new fun ya contemporary concept about queer twins in high school” and then within five minutes of its existence my brain also said “contemporary ya my ass it’s now adult litfic deal with it” and at this point i’m just like. okay.
this book is my second novel and also my *bangs posts and pans* camp nano wip! [please as if i haven't mentioned this seventy times already] coincidentally my academic year + finals also end on the first of april so this is such a perfect time to start a new project!!
ALSO i’m jumping on the trend of making a temporary taglist for weekly updates like all the cool, sexy writeblrs who are doing it [read as: atlas fam] so!! let me know [dm/ask/reply/mention in reblog] if you want to be added to the camp nano taglist!! if you want to keep up with the wip after camp, you can ask to be added to my general taglist. heads up that i won't be tagging my general taglist for the weekly updates!!
everything about this project is tagged as force majeure and the writing updates as force majeure update. also here’s the link to the very very in-progress playlist. you can send me an ask / message me if you’d like to be added to my taglist or have any questions about the project. and that’s about it for now!!
#wip intro#camp nano 2021#writeblr#am writing#wtwcommunity#ofcolourtracking#crabappletracking#atlastracking#tw cults#just releasing that with the desi protags + setting that this is technically an own voices story🧎#which makes me very happy tbh#force majeure

Getting Tortured by a Ghost 😳
If you remember the tags on this post, you know what’s about to go down :)
Character Picrews
Ingredients: spooky ghost shenanigans, implied mistreatment of mental hospital patients (really just funky spooky messed up mental hospital stuff), tooth pulling, temporary paralyzation, noncon stripping/clothes change, needles
Honestly, Finn didn’t mind the dare. He’d never scared easily, and he was actually excited to get to spend the night exploring the abandoned mental hospital. The multiple reports of hauntings didn’t faze him; all that stuff was bogus. He was more afraid of getting caught trespassing than he was of creaking doors and gusts of wind.
The place absolutely had the look of a generic haunted building, hallways filled with abandoned, dusty objects and rooms cluttered with debris. He wandered around, his bright flashlight making it easy to see in the dark building. He was on the second floor now, walking down a long hallway lined with doors. On a whim, he opened one and stepped inside.
The room must have been for examination or something of the sort. There was a padded chair sort of like you’d see at the dentist in the center of the room, with cabinets and shelves lining the walls. Finn looked inside a few and wasn’t surprised to see rusty tools intended for...something medical. He assumed. Turning around, he looked at the chair again. You know what, it would be a good spot for one of the selfies he was supposed to take every hour or so to prove he’d stayed the whole night. Shrugging off his bag, he used the sleeve of his hoodie to wipe the thick layer of dust off of the chair.
When it was about as clean as it was going to get, Finn plopped down and pulled out his phone. After finding a good angle that showed off the room, too, he put on his most confident smirk and took the picture. He briefly glanced at the photo to make sure it was good and went to put his phone back in his pocket. Unfortunately, he somehow managed to miss his pocket completely and ended up dropping his phone on the ground. Signing, he bent over the edge of the chair to pick it up, but while doing this, he noticed something...odd.
There were strips of leather dangling from the edges of the chair. They had holes, like a belt would. But what were they...Finn jumped up out of the chair, backing away from it in horror. Now that he looked at them, those were definitely for...for…strapping someone down. To think that people, very sick people, but people nonetheless, had been restrained here was...frightening. Not because that magically meant that their ghosts were going to manifest, but because something awful had happened here. He collected his belongings quickly, wanting to get away from the unsettling chair.
But right as he was about to start walking out, the door slammed closed. All on its own.
No, no, there was an explanation, it was drafty in here, the doors in his house had done that sometimes if he had a window open or something. He’d be able to open it just fine, reach for the handle, twist, and pull...pull…pull...
Why wasn’t it opening it’s like it was bolted shut from the other side but these doors didn’t have those kind of locks at least he thought so maybe they did and he didn’t notice and it had locked by accident he’d be fine someone would come looking for him in the morning he’d be fi-
Behind him, the lights flickered on. Lights that weren’t supposed to be working because this building hadn’t had power in decades. He had to be dreaming at this point, there was no way this was real, maybe there was some weird gas leaking in somewhere and he was hallucinating because this can’t be real this can’t be real. But, to be sure the light wasn’t really on...
Finn stifled a cry of surprise as he saw the room behind him. It had become completely spotless, everything in fantastic repair, gleaming metal tools laid out on the countertops, the chair no longer losing stuffing. But that wasn’t what scared him most. No, no it was the woman standing next to the chair, dressed as a nurse with a clipboard in her hand, smiling at him warmly.
“Good evening, Mr. Waltersson. Won’t you please sit down?”
“How do you know my-you’re not real.” Finn gripped his flashlight tightly to keep his hands from shaking as he backed up into the door. “You’re not real and I’m not sitting in that fucking chair.”
“Now, now, that won’t do, Mr. Waltersson,” the nurse tutted. “You need to sit down so we can get started on your treatment.”
“I don’t need treatment I’m not a patient here and this place is abandoned and this isn’t real.”
“Those delusions of yours will need to be corrected,” the nurse muttered as she wrote on her clipboard. “And you,” she looked up, pointing at him, “need to sit down.”
And in that instant, Finn found himself sitting in that infernal chair. He tried to get up, run away, anything, but he found he couldn’t move a muscle. “Wh-what the fuck let me go-”
“Patient resisted treatment and had to be restrained,” The nurse said as she wrote, waving a hand towards the chair. Finn looked on in horror as the leather straps rose up all by themselves and slowly started to encircle him. He commanded his body to move, to squirm, to get away before it was too late, but it stayed impossibly still. He could only watch as the straps slowly tightened around him, first his ankles, then his thighs, then his wrists, and then his chest. He felt a final one slither over his forehead, and right after it had tightened, he found he could move again. He struggled and squirmed desperately, but the straps wouldn’t give. He was trapped.
“There we go. Now let’s get you changed and the treatment can start.” Finn’s eyes widened in fear.
“You can’t-you can’t do this to me this isn’t real-”
“Isn’t it?” She was looking right at him, and for the first time he saw her eyes, or lack thereof, gaping coal black voids that bored right into him. She snapped her fingers, and suddenly Finn’s clothes were gone, replaced with a flimsy hospital gown. He shivered in the sudden chill, feeling uncomfortably exposed.
“What the fu-give me my clothes back!”
“We wouldn’t want to get blood on them, now would we?”
“Blood-you can’t hurt me you’re not real!” Finn wasn’t sure if he was protesting or trying to reassure himself at this point, but it didn’t matter, because this wasn’t real, it couldn’t be. He’d snap out of it soon, he was sure of it, because she was going to try to hurt him and it wouldn’t work because you can’t feel pain in dreams, as real as the leather straps and hospital gown felt, they weren’t real, they weren’t, and he was going to wake up from this awful nightmare soon.
“Let’s begin the treatment, shall we?” The woman pulled on a pair of latex gloves, and Finn flinched at the snap they made. “You need to make peace with reality, Mr. Waltersson, and this will help you with that.” She waved a finger, and a scalpel levitated off the counter and started to approach Finn’s arm. He tried his best to remain calm, reminding himself that she couldn’t hurt him because this was all just in his head.
The cold tip of the scalpel pressed into the flesh of his arm, fuck it felt so real, and as it started to move downwards, slicing into him, he couldn’t help but gasp at the pain because there was pain it was real this was real but no no it couldn’t be there’s no such thing as ghosts but how, how else could this be happening to him? The scalpel made multiple cuts in his arm, each one burning more than the last.
“How are you feeling, Mr. Waltersson? Ready to accept reality yet?” The nurse leaned over him, a deceptively warm smile on her face.
“This isn’t-just because this hurts doesn’t mean it’s real. I-I could have been injured some other way and my brain is trying to justify it because there’s no such thing as ghosts,” he said through gritted teeth.
“Oh dear,” she sighed. “It looks like you’ll need something more...intense. But before that…” she reached out to touch him, but her hand passed right through, filling the area with an unbearable cold. She laughed darkly and sat right on top of his lap, passing through him but not the chair. All he ended up feeling was a horrible icy chill and a slight pressure.
“Get off of me. Real nurses don’t do this, anyway,” Finn growled, trying to disguise his fear and discomfort.
“The rules stopped applying to me a long time ago, Mr. Waltersson. In fact, I don’t know if they ever did.” Finn’s skin crawled as her gloved hand traced up along his body, leaving a trail of icy cold in its wake. It settled around his throat, the cold and pressure making it slightly difficult for him to breathe. “You’re too stubborn for your own good. But I suppose that makes it more fun for me. I’ve always liked the feisty ones.” Finn’s eyes widened in fear. If this woman was a ghost, had she...had she treated patients like this? The thought terrified him more than his current, very much not-real predicament did.
At least, until he saw a pair of pliers floating towards him, the nurse smiling at him as they did. “Open wide.” He clamped his mouth shut tightly, fruitlessly trying to turn his head away. She sighed, and he soon felt the pliers pinch his nose shut, making it impossible for him to breathe. Finn held out for as long as he could, but eventually he caved, opening his mouth and gulping in air to relieve his burning lungs. The pliers wormed into his mouth, clamping one of his lower molars in their jaws.
All the while, the nurse watched him with a sick smile on her face, her aura of warm professionalism starting to disappear. Finn whined, hyperventilating as the pliers began to yank at his tooth. He’d needed to have a tooth pulled as a kid, so the intense pressure was familiar, but the accompanying pain was something horribly, horribly new. It exploded in his mouth when the tooth finally came out, and he felt tears leak from his eyes. This...this was far too intense to be anything but reality. The ghost laughed maniacally, but he could barely hear it over the sound of his own cries.
When he had started to calm down, she leaned in, her face right in front of his. “Well, Mr. Waltersson, do you understand now?”
“I-I understand that you’re a sadistic bitch,” Finn said as blood dripped from his mouth. He tried to spit it in her face, but it passed right through and ended up all over the gown. She just smiled.
“I’ll take that as a yes. The fear behind your bravado is all too obvious.” She stood and waved a hand, summoning a bottle from one of the cabinets. “Let’s get you taken care of, then.” The bottle unscrewed itself and dumped part of its contents on Finn’s injured arm. The wounds lit up with a horrible, stinging pain, and he fought the urge to scream. He tried to stay as still as possible as a bandage wound around his arm, just wanting to get this nightmare over with.
His resolve faltered as a syringe floated into view, already filled with...something.
“W-wait no what the fuck is in that thing don’t you dare-”
“Shhh, it’s alright, it’s just a sedative. Come and play with me again, won’t you, Finnegan?” She placed her hand in his as the needle slid into the crook of his elbow, injecting its contents into his veins.
“I abso...lutely...will…not…” he gasped as he slid into unconsciousness.
Finn jolted awake what felt like seconds later, so startled to find himself still in the chair that he fell out of it. He stayed on his hands and knees for a moment, his mind racing. That...that hadn’t fucking happened, had it? He was back in his own clothes, thank God, but his arm and lower jaw were in a suspicious amount of pain. He reached with his tongue, and...his tooth was gone. He stood and carefully pulled off his hoodie to find his arm bloodied and bandaged. So then...that was all real, the pain and the chair and the straps and the pliers and the ghost nurse and her horribly empty eyes.
A terrible thought formed in the back of his mind. He pulled out his phone with shaking hands, going to the photo app. There, in the selfie he took right before everything went to shit...it was faint, but there was definitely someone standing behind him. But that wasn’t what scared him most. No, it was the photo that was taken after it.
It was of him, lying in the chair, still restrained and wearing the bloodied hospital gown, very much unconscious.
He finally let himself scream.

Picrew of the main characters in the series!
Team Leader! Also known as Leader and Jason. Hero name is Flaming Wrath. He is 27, a "big brother", ruthless and leads two teams. A very bad hero. Wants the city from his parents and be their Hero at any cost. The true villain aside from Supervillain. Powers are pyrokinesis, very high levels, he is able to manipulate flames, spark ignition, him and his suit are flame resistant but he likes the fact that most others aren't. Now deceased.
Maven, former hero, "little sister". Hero name is Black Crow. She is 25, submissive but smart and holds a vengeful heart. Hold more darkness inside than meets the eye. Powers are her ability to heal herself and others, absorb energy and information from another and energy manipulation (she can increase/decrease or change the direction of its flow).
Supervillain, 43, comes off cold to heroes and strangers but is big on family happiness deep down. Views Villain2 as an adopted son as well as Deimos and though she is willing to do anything to attain her goal she thinks of them as family and will not stoop to the Heroes level. Powers are Telepathy, Mind/Memory manipulation. She is also well trained in close combat, hand to hand and guns.
Deimos, 28, cold and always plotting ways to get at his nemesis Leader. Now with his nemesis dead he's focused on taking down the Academy of Heroes. Views Supervillain as a mentor and sometimes will admit to them being a mother figure. His powers are all things darkness related, umbraportation, umbrakinesis, shadow mimicry. Always used to being alone and in control. Doesn't remember life before villainy or crime but is just as big on family as Supervillain.

The Next Morning
Julius was done! He stared at the young girl in front of him, this was the seventh child to come through his office in the last week! He was tired of having to call someone to come get their child, well future child anyway, but as he stared at the young girl who had a bright smile on her face, he could feel his anger slowly dissipate. She was bright, happy, and very energetic. He couldn’t help but smile, she reminded him a lot of someone from the Black Bulls.
“ Marx.” Julius turned to look at the blue haired young man, who suddenly slumped down.
“ Do I have too sir?” He asked in a pleading tone, he had so far had to contact Yami, Charlotte, William, and Nozel over the last week and tell them to bring their squad members. He actually had to contact Yami multiple times! He was dreading it, especially since this would be the third time he called him.
“ I’m sorry Marx, but yes you do.” Julius said in a compassionate tone, he knew how Yami would react and poor Marx would unintentionally be on the receiving end of it. Marx let out a soft sigh before going into his office and contacting Yami, again.
——
Yami was oozing irritation and annoyance at this point, this was the third time he was being summoned here and he knew that meant it was another kid from the future! He didn’t blame the children for this, but he would for sure blame their parents! It seemed like they were no closer to figuring out where these kids were coming from or why they were being sent here, he did wonder how many more kids would be coming here or if this would be the end of them? He silently hoped so, he couldn’t take being called up here to pick up another kid, he just couldn’t, he was close to ripping his hair out with all of them!
“ Listen up you two,” Yami ordered as they came to stand in front of the office doors, suddenly turning to look at both Noelle and Asta, the two had been confused when Yami first told them that they were going to see the Wizard King. But when he told them that there was someone that they would be meeting, Asta became very excited, Noelle on the other hand, seemed to find it suspicious. “ this is going to be a huge shock to, not only you two, but to the person on the other side of this door. So behave yourselves and try not to freak out too much alright?” He asked, he watched the two salute before walking inside.
Asta was curious to see who he and Noelle were supposed to meet, he thought he had met everyone that was high up in the Kingdom by now, unless it was a Royal from another country? Either way Asta was very excited to meet them, Noelle on the other hand wasn’t. She had met many nobles and royals before so she doubted this person would really impress her. She had to admit though, she was curious as to why they wanted to see her and Asta.
When the two teens walked in they were a little surprised to see a young light blonde haired girl, whose hair was in pigtails and tied with purple ribbons similar to Noelle’s. She seemed to be short for her age, but the way she carried herself showed that she didn’t really care. The minute she laid her pink-purple eyes on them her smile widened and shone as brightly as the sun during the afternoon hours.
“ Mom! Dad!” She shouted before running up to Asta and Noelle gleefully and wrapping the two in her arms. Both teens were shocked, the looks on their faces would be humorous in any other circumstance. But Yami did let out a small chuckle at their expense.
“ I told you that you’d be in for a big shock.” He said before walking over to Julius, leaving the two teens stunned. “ Is this the last kid or are we expecting more?” He asked.
“ As far as I know this is the last one, or at least that's my hope.” Julius sighed, although there was a hint of sadness to his tone, he really enjoyed seeing all of the children, it gave him hope for a better and brighter future. But he was sad as well for many reasons, a part of him hoped that maybe a future child of his would come from the future like the others, but that didn’t seem to be the case thus far.
“ Where did you find this one?” Yami asked as he turned and saw the young girl clinging to her ‘parents’, well, future parents.
“ Actually, she found us just like Aloys did but in a less violent manner. She needed help looking for her sisters, like Aloys and Maelie they were all separated. So she came here for help, but I don’t think she was quite expecting to see me here.” He laughed and scratched the back of his head nervously before turning to look at the scene in front of him.
“ H-Hey! Let go!” Noelle grumbled, trying to pry the young girl's arms off. The shock had seemed to finally wear off on her, but now she was just really confused. She has a child with Asta?! Of all people?! That wasn’t possible, there was no way! She didn’t like him that way at all, so there was no way this could be their kid! Noelle finally pried the girl’s arms away and stepped back, a flash of hurt spread across the girls face and it made Noelle instantly regret her decision.
“ E-Explain! Right now!” Noelle shouted, her face tinged in slight pink from a mixture of shame and embarrassment, the young girl kept her arms wrapped around Asta, she looked up at him with wide innocent eyes before looking at Julius who only nodded and silently urged the girl to speak.
“ My name’s Brielle Silva, I’m the daughter of Asta and Noelle Silva! I came here to look for you two because I need your help.” She announced determinedly, she held her head up high but still kept that same wide bright smile on her face. There was no doubt she was Asta’s daughter, she was just like him; happy, determined, confident, and just a good kid. Even though they only knew the girl for maybe 5-10 minutes they could easily tell that.
Asta stared down at the girl in bewilderment, a kid with Noelle? Huh, he wasn’t expecting that at all. He suddenly looked over at the silver haired girl thoughtfully, he would always admit that she was beautiful, strong, caring, and one of his best friends. The more he thought about it the more it made sense and the happier he got, if he ever did have a child with someone there wasn’t anyone else in the world he’d rather have them with.
“ It’s nice to meet you Brielle! I’m Asta, your papa, although I think you already knew that.” He laughed nervously, Brielle laughed as well and nodded. Her laugh sounded like a mixture of his and Noelle’s, it was absolutely adorable!
“ And that,” Asta suddenly pointed at Noelle. “ is your momma Noelle, but you probably already knew that too!” He laughed nervously again, Noelle’s face turned red again. ‘ Momma? Papa? How is it he just found out he has a kid in the future and he’s still his usual self about it?!’ Noelle thought in bewilderment, he acted as though this didn’t phase him one bit.
The more she watched Asta and Brielle’s exchange, the more she noticed how it warmed her heart. Sure she wasn’t exactly happy finding out that she had a kid. But at the moment she didn’t have much of a choice since they couldn’t send her back to her own time. She watched the two and saw how happy and comfortable they both already were around each other, even though they had just met, it made her smile slightly. He would be an amazing dad someday, she felt herself slightly hope maybe one day, she’d be just as excellent a mom.
“ Asta, Noelle, Captain Yami, and Mr. Wizard king? Would you all help me find my friends and sisters, please?” Brielle suddenly asked, bowing deeply at the four people in front of her. They all looked at each other for a moment before nodding. Noelle gave the young girl her signature smirk before tossing one of her pig tails over her shoulder confidentally.
“ Well, of course we’ll, we’re magic knights after all and it's what we do!” Noelle said proudly before walking towards the girl and crouching down to Brielle’s level. “ Don’t worry, we’ll find all your friends and sisters. Trust us, ok?” Noelle asked softly, she watched the girls eyes widen slightly, she already trusted Noelle completely and she could see that as clear as day. She suddenly leapt forward and wrapped her arms around Noelle’s neck and hugged her.
“ Thank you!” Brielle said happily, Noelle’s widened in surprise at the action and she looked at Asta for some help but all he did was stand slightly behind Brielle and give Noelle one of his signature smiles and a thumbs up, causing her to blush and look away. Of course he was no help, and of course he instantly accepted that this girl was his child without question. But if Noelle were being perfectly honest, there was no doubt that this was his daughter, she acted too much like him.
Asta watched the exchange with a bright smile on his face, sure he was confused about how this girl was his and Noelle’s daughter, but he could push that aside for now. Especially since she needed their help finding her sisters and her friends!
——-
Ah I’m sorry this isn’t very good but I hope you all enjoyed it! Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a good day 💕~!

Hello Everyone! Meet my OC! I’m so so excited to get her stuff together as this is my first time ever creating an OC! I’ll be coming up with fics about her! Gosh I hope y’all like her!
Thanks so much to @maximit3 for having the art commissioned from when we first talked about it back in March. I love you lots and lots! 💖 AND a huge thank you to @karin-kutameka for making her exactly how I pictured. She’s beautiful, the art is beautiful and Karin you’re beautiful. 💖
Name: Akina Hosaka
Age: 15
Nationality: Japanese and African American
Hero Name: Atomica
Quirk: Energy absorption- Akina can absorb all types of energy and manipulate it as she sees fit. She can also use the stored energy to create shields of energy. She must maintain a certain level of energy at all times and she cannot surpass a certain amount of energy stored in her body or she runs the risk of a huge explosion similar to that of an atomic bomb.
Hero Costume: Her hero costume is made of light breathable and flexible material. It’s infused with tiny sensors that mesh with her skin cells and help to absorb energy so that the energy can be absorbed through her costume and into her body. There’s an energy canon that she can use to shoot out spurts of concentrated energy and also acts as a gauge to let her know how much energy she’s absorbed, has to use and how much she needs to stay functioning. When she’s in costume her hair is in two puffs, but when she’s in civilian clothes she prefers to wear her natural curly hair wild and free. Also in that first picture imagine her hair is the same fuchsia as the second one lol.
Favorite foods: Takoyaki, ice cream, Starbucks coffee, her mom’s collard greens
Favorite color(s): golden yellow (like the leaves in fall) dark green (like pine trees) and fuchsia (see her hair and hero costume color lol)
Hobbies: She reads a lot and watches movies by herself but her favorite pass time is sitting outside and people watching or taking walks and daydreaming.
Personality: Akina is quiet and very observant. Extremely determined to be a hero, doesn’t have great control over her quirk although it is seen as one of the strongest in her class. Always rushes to help others but never accepts help for herself. Extremely kind and caring, but always doubts herself.
She seems happy on the outside but she rarely talks about herself. People easily open up to her as she has a very trustworthy aura about her. However, she doesn’t open up to others herself as she’s always worried about burdening others. She’s approachable but closed off. Slightly competitive if you pull it out of her.
Thoroughly dislikes All Might despite everyone else around her looking up to him but she has her reasons lol. She can be snarky sometimes, a smart ass with witty comebacks. She rarely shows her anger but it bubbles constantly underneath and the few times it bubbles over, she becomes mean, passive aggressive, ruthless. She almost becomes a completely different person.
You’ll learn more about her and her backstory as I write more for her! 💖
The art is from the lovely and talented @karin-kutameka and from this picrew here

I LOVE the picrews (each character looks so distinct but also related I can easily picture them all interacting disharmoniously together) and am very excited abt this story 👀👀! Here’s some questions since u asked: 1) What POV(s) is it written in? 2) how did you decide the characters’ ages/age gaps? (I love that u took note of birth order) 3) if it’s not a spoiler, is the father in the picture? 4) can you describe the setting at all? 📖👁👁
aaaaaa thank you so much hiba!!!! it really means the world to me that people other than,,,,, y’know, myself,,,,, are interested in this dark fantasy brainrot fjalkfjdlkf!! and ooooo these are great questions!! to answer them one by one:
1. 3rd person POV, somewhat tethered to Ayushi (the youngest)
2. My rationale is that Rhea, being a very practical woman, would have timed her pregnancies to be as close together as she could possibly make them without jeopardising her own health and safety. As it turned out, she got EXTREMELY lucky-- with first and third kids being Crafters, and her second and fourth being Nulls, she wound up with two neat pairs of heirs and spares.
3. I basically envision the Anga’s kids’ father/Rhea’s husband to be a Null who Rhea married for the sole purpose of having kids-- he exerts basically no influence in the household or on his children’s lives, and is for all intents and purposes a non-entity
4. hmmmmm to be completely honest worldbuilding is NOT my strong suit fjalkfjdsk, but i’m basically picturing a somewhat medieval world divided into territories controlled by powerful Crafting families-- common folk have basically no access to the Craft since materials and resources are so carefully hoarded by the wealthy elite. Eventually a system would probably end up developing where the non-Crafting masses pay a tithe-like tax to the Crafting families of their territory in return to stability and protection.

Tumblr was fighting me on the reblog, so I just made a new post. Thank you so much to @spookyboywhump for tagging me in that picrew chain; I went a little overboard and had a lot of fun!
In order, these are Percival, Floyd, Llyr, Hugh, Ray, and Mabel all from my pirate universe. I’m going to go into a bit more detail under a cut because of course I am, you guys know me, so open that up if you want some excited appearance rambles!
Oh hello, welcome to the forbidden Keep Reading land! Glad to have you here. Just gonna do this list style before I start going wild with transitions or something dumb like that.
Percival - Ah, it’s been ages since we’ve seen this man, hasn’t it? If you’ve been around for a good long while, you might remember me doing a drawing of him and Floyd a while back, and details on both of their appearances have definitely shifted since then. This picrew is more accurate, especially in the hairstyle. The color should be warmer and have streaks of blond in it, but otherwise it definitely looks like him to me.
Some more details to note is that no picrew will ever get his eyes right. They should be lighter and lean a little more towards orange with yellow highlights that are especially prominent when he’s using magic. I’m not sure if he has his nose pierced in canon, but he does have his ears pierced and oh yeah those snake earrings were definitely used because of his reputation as The Serpent. And I love snakes a completely normal amount but that’s totally irrelevant definitely not a driving force what?
(fun side note: i was gonna give him the lemon background because he is a sucker for anything acidic and strong, hence his really weird obsession with vinegar that is the only thing he wants to tell me about himself most days, but then this one looked really pretty so I kept it)
Floyd - We just saw him again if you’ve been keeping up with the Llyr and the Pirates storyline, though this picrew is based more off of his starring role and captivity in Persistence. He doesn’t have piercings in anything we’ve seen so far, but he will canonically get them at some point :D
Other than that, everything’s pretty straightforward. He’s got his collar from Percival, which is technically a more brownish leather and just a little thicker than that, and his eye color should be a little lighter, leaning towards blue-green. Oh, and I gave him a pass on my attempts at kinda realistic clothing because I thought that Floyd would absolutely love this shirt. A shame he isn’t in our time really... I think he would love a lot of funky patterns and stuff in modern fashion. aNYWAYS-
Llyr - My sealy son! I’ve really gotta see if there’s a seal picrew I could use to design his other form lol. But here’s what he’s meant to look like! I think this hairstyle was meant to be used as braids or dreadlocks, but it was the only messy looking one I could find. Because ever since Llyr turned human, his hair has been awfully maintained, and by that I mean Not At All it’s so tangled you couldn’t even pull a brush through it without a good amount of effort. But all the colors are correct here!
If I could very quickly point you in the direction of his cloak, that’s the closest I could get to the way he wears his seal skin when it’s not being taken away from him (*glares at the Offending Individual(s)*). He isn’t wearing a shirt under it because clothes are still super weird feeling to him, and he’d rather go with the bare minimum than feel fabric moving around and clinging to him all day. And he’s being assertive and indignant, because Of Course He Is.
Hugh - Aha, a design! A design for the largely descriptionless bastard man! The hair is pretty accurate for how he wears it currently, though he definitely prefers it shorter than that so it isn’t curling into his face all the time. The color should be darker, closer to a traditional brunette tone, and this picrew is so invalid only because I couldn’t give him the beard that was the only thing I pictured for so long. Hugh has a full chin beard that he also keeps fairly short, but he isn’t able to grow too much of a mustache so that stays as stubble on his upper lip.
As for physique, he’s definitely a lot more muscley than this picrew allowed him to be. The outfit he has on is definitely close to something he got his first night on Gawain’s ship, though a little more tight fitting than it is in reality. Otherwise, I don’t have too much to say on him! Smarmy grin and half lidded eyes is his signature expression for harassing people, but those eyes open up to look a little more friendly most other times.
Ray - Ahhh my sunshine child, always trying his best! *stares at both of my story wips with him* He’s completely fine, both physically and emotionally! But I digress. Here’s Ray on a classic, happy day! This picrew did such a good job with his hair. Wavy, ending just above his shoulders, and sometimes tied up in a ponytail or bun. This honestly looks so accurate to him and I love it.
A note on his coat that also extends to Percival, this choice isn’t super accurate to his coat? Percival’s should be dark red/magenta and Ray’s should be more of a navy blue/green, and both of them should be more tailored, but these were the closest I could get them. My captains really like their fun coats (except Gawain. He likes to stick to protocol uniforms, which in the Law Abiding Business does not include a fun coat)
Mabel - Last, but certainly not least! Mabel is fantastic and this picrew fits her very very well. That shirt is definitely made of some softer flannel-ish material and she wears it on windier or brisker days. Those stripey shirts are some of her favorite patterns aside from No Pattern.
Oh and her hair I really had a blast making here. It wasn’t working out at first because there aren’t a whole lot of options, but I thought to have her put it up and then include that little braid bit and with some curly bangs and little loose bits on the side it really came together! Yellow looked cute with her and I didn’t want the beautiful fruit backgrounds to go to waste, so I gave her some lemons because why not.
Ah and one last note. The only reason y’all aren’t getting a Gawain picrew as well is because 1) even numbers,,,, good,,,,, and actually because 2) he looked absolutely cursed in this picrew and it didn’t represent him quite as well as I’d like. Maybe I’ll doodle him out sometime so you guys can see what he looks like....
Sooo.... yeah.... that was certainly. A Ramble. If you’re still here, I’m so very sorry. I’m going to go get something to eat now. Ah, and everyone I would have tagged has already taken care of this since I took all day, so anyone can go ahead if they’d like.
#literally everyone: i'm gonna make one or two picrews then say a few words before passing this on#me: ahaha yeah i can do that#me just seconds later: oh wait. i'm an idiot.#buuuut anyways I decided on appearances! hugh didn't have one before this!#neither did gawain but he didn't work well at all in this picrew haha#i don't even know who's appearances i've shared with the world before now#did y'all know what mabel looked like? am i a fool? did i forget to say what she looked like?#no matter. you know now and that's all that matters ig#i need to hECKING POST THIS DAMMIT BOA THIS DOESN'T NEED MORE TAGS BUT FIRST#boa speaks#boa is very dumb#picrew#ohhhhhhhhhh do i tag characters#i'm gonna tag the fucking characters fuck this#Percival#Benedict Floyd#Llyr the Selkie#Hugh Williams#Raymond Bates#Mabel Forbes#tHERE#THAT'S IT#I'M DONE MAKING WORDS AAAAAAGH NONE OF THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPENNNNNN

30 Days of Fanfic (Days 1-10)
I saw this and thought it could be fun but since I was already a few days behind and a little all over the place, I decided to do them in batches of 10 questions. So here are the first ten days!
Day 1 - How did you get into fanfic?
- How did you first get into writing fanfic, and what was the first fandom you wrote for? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?
I don’t really remember how I got into fic anymore. It was my best friend that dragged me into it and I just... started reading?
The first fandom I wrote for was PJO. I have always loved Greek mythology so I just decided to... go for it. I never finished that fic, though (probably for the best as the ideas were awesome but the execution - not so much)
Day 2 - What fandoms have you written in?
- Name the fandoms you’ve written in, how much you’ve written in those fandoms, and if you still write in them.
That one isn’t so hard as I haven’t written in a lot of fandoms. Here are the ones that I have written in (in order of joining):
Once Upon a Time - 41 fanfics (I do have one collection that I need to finish in this fandom and tons of ideas but while I haven’t officially left the fandom and abandoned the fics, I am not really active there anymore. Which is a damn shame considering how many things I had planned for it. I don’t really feel the inspiration currently, though, but I haven’t given up on it completely.)
Fairy Tail - 8 fanfics (I mostly join any of the annual weeks for different ships in this fandom. I do have some ideas but I haven’t found the motivation for them yet. Even if a few of them were really cool and I loved them a lot.)
Winx Club - 86 fanfics (This one is my most active fandom currently. I do still write in it and I hope that will hold true for the foreseeable future as well.)
Lucifer - 1 fanfic (that was more of an experiment and I don’t really plan on writing more there)
Day 3 - Favorite characters?
- For each of the fandoms you have written in, what were/are your favorite characters to write? Why were these characters your favorite? (Can be main, side, established, or original!)
Um, okay. Let’s see.
Once Upon a Time - Regina Mills was my favorite character to write because I was mostly interested in her and I could see a lot of similarities between us. I wanted to explore more of her and her relationships with the other characters.
Fairy Tail - I don’t think I really had a favorite character to write here. They were all sort of... hard to get? And I haven’t written nearly enough of anyone to be able to pick a favorite.
Winx Club - I want to say Griffin but I think I might love writing Valtor just a tad bit more. At least at the moment. Maybe it is that he is more emotional and impulsive and I can get behind that and know how to write it? I also related a lot with some things about him and other times it is simply fun to write him when he is being an asshole. But there’s also a lot of emotional stuff to explore there. I don’t really know. I just love writing him.
Lucifer - Uhh... I only really wrote two characters from there and from them Chloe Decker was certainly the one that was easier so I chose to write my only fic from her PoV. I love the characters on the show but I don’t think I get them enough to write them that well yet so I am not pushing to do it.
Day 4 - Muse/special character?
- Do you have a ‘muse’ character(s), that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn’t about them? Who are they, and why did that character(s) became your muse? Are they a canon character or an OC?
Did I mention Valtor? Man, talk about trying to write something that he doesn’t sneak in. The few fics that I was actually focusing on other characters didn’t suffer from this but a fic that has Griffin inevitably brings out the need to at least mention Valtor in it as well. I have had to actively restrain myself from bringing him in a couple of times when I really wanted to write about anything else other than their relationship. I guess that is my muse. XD Not one of them separately but the two of them together. I am having all the feelings about them. Let’s leave it off here because I will get too many feelings otherwise.
Day 5 - Envisioning characters?
- Do you have techniques you use to help you visualise a character, such as picrews, faceclaims, moodboards, or fanart? Have you commissioned or created art to go with your fics, or provided references (picrews, faceclaims etc) for readers or yourself?
I am the worst at envisioning characters. I think it might be because I am trying to get in the mindset of the character so if I am in their head, I can’t see their appearance. (Maybe I should try writing with a mirror nearby. XD) I do make aesthetics but their purpose isn’t that much to help me envision the characters. I mostly avoid the envisioning part by focusing on emotional things and if I absolutely have to write descriptions, I try to keep it minimalistic. I have done sort of a picrew thing for my original characters but not for any fandom I’m in. A friend of mine made an illustration for one of my fics but it was after I wrote it and she actually used what I had managed to envision already to paint the thing. Envisioning characters is not my strength and I don’t even know how I function as a writer despite that.
Day 6 - Gender Preference?
- When you write, do you have a gender preference for your protagonist and/or the rest of the cast? Is it the same or different from your own gender? Do you feel your own gender is well represented, and how do you go about accurately portraying genders different from your own?
I couldn’t care less for the protagonist’s gender. I write the story from the PoV that is best for it. I try to focus on the personality of the character rather than on any other characteristics.
Day 7 - Fic affecting your view of a character?
- Have you ever had a fic you’ve written change your opinion of a character? Or has a fic you’ve read changed your opinion on a character?
Probably only... every fic I’ve ever written? I mean, as you write, your vision on the characters develops and, essentially, changes. There have certainly been fics that have made me reflect more or in a different way on an aspect of a character and have led me to change my view of that character in a way. It is kind of the point of being in a fandom and reading other people’s fics, I’d say.
Day 8 - OCs
- Do you write OCs? And if so, what do you do to make certain they’re not Mary Sues, and if not, explain your thoughts on OCs.
I only write OCs when the story demands it as it demands positions that the existing characters can’t fill for whatever reason. Or when the person has existed in canon but was never introduced on screen (as in someone’s parents that we never saw). I am not a fan of OCs because I go to fanfiction for the characters I already know and love. If I wanted completely new characters that I am unfamiliar with, I would turn to original fiction. I was fascinated with the characters I saw on the screen/in the book and I want to know more about them and the relationships between them. I am not interested in what OCs can be made in that world.
Day 9 - Favorite pairings and your comfort zone
- What are your favorite pairings to write in your fandoms? Have you ever gone outside your comfort zone and written a pairing you liked, but found you couldn’t write, or a pairing you didn’t like, and found you could?
I’m just gonna talk about Winx Club because it is my only truly active fandom.
Griffin x Valtor is my OTP. I love them to death and have so many ideas about them.
Now as for pairing that I like but can’t write, I don’t think I have ever encountered such. In this fandom at least. (Maybe in Lucifer Deckerstar is a bit too hard to nail.)
Pairing that I don’t like but can (kinda) write must be Icy x Valtor which I did write on request and that particular concept was actually very fun to work with. I wouldn’t say it has “converted“ me or something, however.
Generally, I stick to what I like. I might try my hand at writing a pairing that I am curious about but I don’t like to waste my time on ships I don’t like.
Day 10 - Writer's block and procrastination
- Have you ever experienced writer's block or an impeded ability to write? How do you tackle a loss of motivation or executive function, and/or how does procrastination hinder (or help) you?
I don’t really think I’ve had writer’s block once I started writing consistently and not once every two months. I have had certain ideas that needed more time to get ready for being written but I never really stopped writing. I have had days when I was too mentally exhausted to write but the solution to that was to just step away for a while and let my brain rest. The problem wasn’t truly in the writing so with some time to recharge my batteries, I was back on track.
I mostly force myself through loss of motivation telling myself that I have too many awesome ideas that I will never be able to write if I don’t just get to it. And I always work on what I am feeling like tackling right now. Even if it isn’t necessarily what I would’ve wanted to work on.
Executive dysfunction can be a bitch. It is hard to get past it and I don’t think I really know how I do it.
Procrastination is probably the hill I will die on because I am too nervous to get to the next one. I don’t really have a tried-and-true solution for it as I am usually aware that I am procrastinating and yet, I can’t stop doing it and make myself be productive. Usually what gets me to drop it and start working is the itch to write and the feeling that I will literally explode if I don’t write. So I think it is that the desire to just write something whatever that may be defeats the fear that it will suck and I finally manage to get to it. I am just too excited about my projects sometimes. XD

Novel Prep Tag!!
Shout out to @magic-is-something-we-create for tagging me in this!!! :D I’m doing it for Happy Endings, my NaNo project last year that I’m hoping to finish this July Camp NaNo! Enjoy!!
First Look
1. Describe your novel in 1-2 sentences
On the verge of graduating high school, a teen girl with a four-month gap in her memory moves in with the most mysterious boy in school and his uncle; but when she discovers that they and the rest of their foster family are hiding a dangerous secret, she must confront her fear of commitment or risk losing her newfound family forever.
2. How long do you plan for your novel to be?
It should be just over 100k, since I got exactly halfway done during NaNo last year
3. What’s your novel’s aesthetic?
Oh geez I'm not good at these y'all. But like. That uncomfortable feeling when it's too quiet and so you try and talk or sing to fill that silence but it just makes it worse because all you can hear is your own voice and as soon as you stop there's even more silence and all you've done is remind yourself that you're alone; that stinging, warm feeling when someone says something about you and you realize just how well they know you; when you’re camping and you wake up and the sun has just risen and everything is warm and awash with golden light and the world is peaceful; making someone laugh for the first time; having a headache but being too busy to really notice or do anything about it
4. What other stories have inspired your novel?
Teen Wolf, the Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead (if you haven't read it, you should consider it, it's very good!), Fruits Basket
5. Three images that get the feel of your novel
How about three hints at important events in the form of emojis? ❄️🦂🍼
Main Characters
6. Who is your protagonist?
Melissa Adams! She's a bicon who's extremely good with her hands and even better at reading people. She is also, and I say this with all the love I have in my heart, a complete and utter dumbass. Oh, and she got kidnapped shortly after her parents died and turned up at the edge of the city limits without any memories of those four months she was missing. She's not too worried about it, though.
7. Who is their closest ally?
She's got quite a few of them! Her best friends, Fern Beaumont and Holly Song. The people she starts living with - Ace Argyris the uncle, Virgil Argyris the popular quiet boy, and Eden not-Argyris the girl who doesn't really seem to fit anywhere - certainly grow closer to her over the course of the story. But I'd say probably her cousin Jared, once he shows up in the story, becomes her closest ally because he wants to help her, not just protect her.
8. Who is their enemy?
Marceline, the shadow-y matriarch of the Argyris family. Oh, and also these people who seem to have an intense grudge against the Argyris family and seem to know Melissa, even though she could swear she's never seen any of them before...
9. What do they want more than anything?
Unrealistically? To see her parents again. Realistically? To graduate high school already so that she can build her own house in the woods, live off the land as much as possible, and not have to be around people anymore.
10. Why can’t they have it?
For the former, because they're very very dead. For the latter, she's only a junior and also everyone in her life seems determined to sabotage her dream to be on her own
11. What do they wrongly believe about themselves?
That she doesn't need people - or, more accurately, that she's just fine on her own.
12. Draw your character
I don't have a drawing, unfortunately, but I do have a rough picrew that is entirely subject to change:
13. What is the worst thing that could happen to your protagonist?
Probably losing another family! It's why she has such trouble getting close to people after everything that happened - it was so horrible the first time around, she doesn't know how she would survive if it happened again. Better to be on your own than to get hurt again.
Plot Points
14. What secret will be revealed that changes the course of the story?
Well, you see, Melissa's got this four-month gap in her memory. And she's not too bothered by it, but there are these people threatening her friends who seem to somehow be involved, so it's probably best to get that figured out. The headaches are getting annoying too.
15. Do you know how it ends?
I know how both the book and the series ends! The endings of both are actually one of the first things I wrote haha
16. What is the theme?
"If we want the rewards of being loved, we must submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known." No, seriously. This is one of the few stories I decided on the theme of early on, and it was exactly this.
17. What is a recurring symbol?
Not a symbol - I’m not completely sure what they’ll be yet - but headaches are subtle but important. Clothes are also vaguely used to symbolize Melissa's state of mind.
18. Where is the story set?
A fictional forest in Colorado! I ranted talked in this post if you wanna know more!
19. Do you have images and scenes in mind already?
I have half the book written already, plus a few random future scenes. It's also fully outlined, so I at least generally know what happens
20. What excited you about this story?
The amnesia plot, which is a pretty new thing for me and is really fun to write and foreshadow and whatnot, and the setting! Silverwood, both the city and the forest, have absolutely captured my imagination, and it's really hard to keep it from becoming some kind of weird utopia haha, and the plot! It just feels really interesting and fun to think about, at risk of sounding full of myself, and I can't wait to share more with people!
21. What is your usual writing method? Unrealistically? To see her parents again. Realistically? To graduate high school already so that she can build her own house in the woods, live off the land as much as possible, and not have to be around people anymore.
So, usually it's what I said in this post - although with this particular project, since it was my first NaNo project that I actually waited until November to start, I skipped from step two straight to step eight, more or less. This is actually the wip that got me into outlining, which was an immense but helpful change to my usual process!
And there you go! My project once I finish gifted or July comes, whichever happens first!! I’m very excited!
I’m tagging all of the people who were interested, so! @summersromance, @literary-lavender, @magic-is-something-we-create, @magicalwriting, @linariouswrites, @ahowlinwolf, @rhiannonleewriting, @cilly-the-writer, @aelenko, @paula-writes, @quenvicky, @me-between-the-lines, @writingonesdreams, @acaptainandhisrunaway, @megnrdyfreakx3, and @kai-is-writing - have fun y’all, I can’t wait to see what y’all got!!
#h.e.#i'll be doing an intro post for this at the end of april too#so keep an eye out for that haha#i... don't have a lot to ramble about actually#drop a like if you read the whole thing?#im very tired we drove a lot today#hope you've been having a good day!

Can you talk more about your OCs?
omg yes i can!!! this might be a long post but! i’m so excited!
ok so i have five ocs right now. trip, who lives on a farm in napa because fuck you rick berman, has four kids in my mind: lucas “tipper” (archer nicknamed him “tipper” because he was clumsy and fell over all the time and the nickname just stuck so no one calls him lucas unless he’s in trouble), caroline and matthew (who are twins), and ellie, who’s like 10 years younger than tip! the 5th oc is captain alejandro cortés, captain of the uss tohoshinki (which is the ship tipper is assigned to), and an old friend of trip’s. i’ll only really be talking about tipper, caroline, matthew, and alejandro, though, since they’re the ones i have visuals for! ellie is 12, and i haven’t spent much time on her character, but she’s highkey trip’s favorite since she’s the baby.
okay. first we’ll talk about tipper! tipper is my favorite... in my mind he’s like 22 and just graduated from the academy. he’s like... chaotic good. pretty flirty. bookwise very smart, but an idiot in other ways. like a himbo, sorta. he’s the oldest sibling, so he’s pretty protective of his younger siblings, especially ellie (who’s 12 in this, a cute fact is that tipper calls her jellybean/elliebean). tipper’s in the command sector, and he wants to be a diplomat or a captain one day. he really genuinely tried engineering because he wanted to follow in trip’s footsteps, but it never stuck. for now, he’s an ensign (and alejandro’s favorite) on the uss tohoshinki. here’s a visual i made of him on picrew!
next is caroline! she’s 20 years old and enrolled in the academy for engineering (and she’s actually good at it, unlike tipper). she’s matthew’s twin sister, and she’s like 10 minutes older than him and he’ll always be bitter about it. she really, really looks up to her dad. she gets pretty riled up easily, and she’s usually pretty defensive, but it stems from being teased by her brothers so it’s understandable. she’s very funny and a hard worker, but she’s also really stubborn and arguing with her is like arguing with a brick wall. she’s very affectionate with the people she loves. she really enjoys playing the guitar, and you can usually find her somewhere outside, whether it be in trip’s workshop or sitting in a tree, just vibing. alejandro is looking at bringing her onboard the uss tohoshinki when she graduates (despite tipper’s protests, like siblings do). here’s her visual! also fun fact, the twins have matching beauty marks under their left eyes!
next is matthew! he’s also 20, and he’s the only one besides ellie who’s not enrolled at starfleet academy. he’s not starfleet material, he has no interest in it, but he’ll gladly support his siblings. he likes the ground too much. he’s a musician with a poet’s soul. he’s enrolled at berklee to study composing, and he’s a very talented pianist. he and caroline are close, but they’re also complete opposites. matthew is very laid-back, very relaxed, really just wants to vibe. he’s pretty sweet and a little shy, but talkative once you get him out of his shell. tipper calls him all the time when he’s lonely in space because matthew is a very good listener. he’s also a big fan of naps. here’s his visual! (his hair is supposed to be the same color as caroline’s but unfortunately the picrew i used didn’t have it... maybe he dyes his hair)
finally, we have captain alejandro cortés, who i usually just refer to as cortés. he’s the captain of the uss tohoshinki, which is the ship tipper is assigned to. cortés is an old friend of trip’s from serving as an ensign on the nx-01 enterprise -- he’s also in command, but he had a lot of friends in engineering so he hung out down there a lot, and became friends with trip! he actually used to babysit the kids, and he’s who inspired tipper to join starfleet. he heard tipper graduated and insisted on having him on his ship. he’s puerto rican, roughly in his mid-40s, and he’s what the kids call a dilf. he’s funny, smart, and super badass. he’s a pretty casual captain, but he’s not opposed to cracking down when he needs to. he has a scar on his right cheek from fighting a klingon (and winning!), and he’s one of tipper’s biggest heroes (his other heroes are archer and trip, of course). here are his visuals! the drawing was done by lovely rowan @worfsleftbuttcheek (who is absolutely a cortés stan).
so!!! those are my ocs with the exception of ellie!!! i love them very much.... they’re my babies and i’m always open to talking about them!!!
#this was so long omg......#thank you so much for asking!#also all of my ocs will be under the uss tohoshinki tag!#uss tohoshinki#anon#replies#long post

Work Things
a Clauses and Contracts short ft. Kennyo
Modern AU
Word Count: 1534
A/N: Please accept his completely self-indulgent Kennyo fluff.
~☆~
Keena Kumo
Picrew: https://picrew.me/image_maker/27323
~☆~
A frustrated huff blasted from Keena's lips as she pranced in place outside the carnival gates. Wrapping her arms around herself to retain heat proved to be in vain as the same chilling winds that turned her breath white snatched away all warmth into the twilight sky. How was she supposed to know Old Man Winter would decide to blow through town several weeks early? It was a freak of nature and a horribly timed one at that! And no matter how great she looked in the black sleeveless blouse, it just wasn't cut out for this kind of weather.
"Miss?"
She turned on her heels just as a particularly strong gust of frost laced wind whipped her hair across her face, skewing her balance and sending her face-first into the sidewalk pavement. Or at least it would have, if not for the enveloping warmth of a summer's day that helped her back on her feet.
"Kennyo? Thank you!" Was it her imagination or did his cheeks blush a shade of red that matched her hair? Just as she focused her attention to confirm it for herself, Kennyo rolled his shoulders to shrug off his jacket.
"You're freezing," he grumbled while settling the garment around her, the transferred heat acting as a balm on her chilled skin. "Why didn't you wait for me inside a shop?"
"In my excitement to get here, I forgot my phone at home to message you and didn't want any chance of you thinking I stood you up." There! It's not my imagination, he did blush! The blossoming color was a welcomed sign to her nerves. It wasn't much of a secret to the rest of accounting that she had been crushing on the executive since meeting him shortly after the merger was announced.
To ensure a smooth transition of accounts, Keena was chosen and placed on a special OT finance team that had spent several months occupying office space on the UTT marketing floor. Lead accountants, of course, sat directly in front of the managerial offices at the head of their bays and squarely in his line of sight.
And danger zone of coffee spills, but that's another story.
The weeks following one particularly disastrous fateful morning saw plenty of shared smiles and banter between the two but neither taking the extra leap until Shingen himself popped in unexpectedly and all but refused to move from his selected place against the wall as he chattered amicably with several ladies on break.
"And what of you, Goddess? Will you be joining us?"
"Hmm?" Keena glanced up from her computer and found several eyes upon her, the tell-tale sign she hadn't paid the visitor any attention. "Joining who for what?"
The tall executive feinted a shot to the heart before grinning down as a round of giggles sounded around her from the other ladies. "Every now and then the departments get together for social hour. I was just letting your team know they were welcomed to join us this Friday night. I'll be there as well of course."
"Oh, well… that sounds great but, uh…" What was wrong with her? Wasn't she just lamenting last night over wine that she doesn't get out enough? Yet, now that an opportunity arose, here she was backpedaling and looking for a scapegoat.
"Not this time, Shingen."
All eyes turned toward the dark-haired manager still sitting at his office desk but not at all ignoring the ongoing conversation. "Ms. Kumo will be attending a work… thing."
Praises!
"A work… thing?" A single, auburn eyebrow rose as Shingen's grin grew wider while turning toward his friend and mimicked Kennyo's voice inflections. "My friend, you don't ever attend work things."
"This one's different."
"I can see that…" A bark of laughter with a quick glance back to Keena. "Who else will be attending?"
"Middle managers."
"From where?"
"Everywhere." Kennyo dropped the papers he'd been flipping through and leveled Shingen with a raised brow of his own. "Now, would you move along and allow everyone back to work?"
And so that Friday night saw her attending a very Not Work Thing with the soon-to-be Director of Marketing. As well as the following five Fridays, plus two Saturdays when she joined him in volunteering at the local animal shelter. Now, they were attending an autumn carnival together. However, he was so reserved even when they had Friday dinner and drinks together that she was beginning to think her feelings were completely one-sided. Yes, they interacted every day and he always gifted her a small smile in morning greetings-- something no one else received, she noticed-- but that didn't mean his feelings ventured beyond friendship.
So, blushing at only a vague hint of anything romantic? Very good news.
"Won't you get cold though? The carnival will be here next week and we can go somewhere else tonight if you like."
"No need to worry for me, Miss." A breeze threatened to strew several locks of hair across her face again until his fingers reached out almost instinctively to gently brush them back in place. Once satisfied with their placement, his hand fell back to his side and while he nodded to the entrance. "Shall we go?"
"Yes! I am ready for corn dogs, cheese curds, and deep fried Twinkies!"
"Fried what?"
"It's a carnival, Kennyo. Everything is fried, coated in sugar, or topped with bacon. Sometimes all three." The look of horror that dashed across his face sent her into a fit of giggles that only sobered when they finally passed through the admission gates.
Lights, music, and laughter filled the evening as the duo made their way through the crowds to various food vendors, fun houses, and game stalls in an attempt to win the featured prizes. Two goldfish and a purple panda later, Keena happily chowed down on a deep fried confection of the chocolate variety as they exited the carnival to head home.
"Sure you don't want a bite?"
"Positive." Kennyo responded without hesitation.
"You don't know what you're missing…"
"Aside from indigestion and heartburn?"
Her nose wrinkled teasingly as she finished the treat and turned her attention to the two water filled bags Kennyo carried. "Jack and Rose?"
"Pardon?"
"The fish. They need names, right?"
"So you choose that movie?"
"Hey, that movie is a classic of our time." She retorted as she contemplated further. "Han and Leia? Wesley and Buttercup?"
"What makes you think they'll be a couple?"
"Rocky and Bullwinkle?"
Rumbling laughter spilled from a grin that warmed her more than the jacket still about her shoulders. If the smiles he greeted her with every morning were gifts, then this was a blessing from a thousand benevolent deities that stole both breath and words from her. He still had the hint of a smile when he looked down at her again.
No wonder he keeps a perpetual almost-scowl on his face at all times… he'd cause half the floor to faint if he smiled more.
She must have been staring again for he cleared his throat and glanced to his watch. "It's getting late. Are you ready to head home before it gets any colder?"
No... no I'm not! "I suppose," she sighed instead, choosing the adultier response. The fish probably needed to get out of those bags anyway. At least he'll get to see where I live! Maybe I can ask him in and--
No, bad Keena! Down, girl, down!
Not trusting her mouth to keep the insinuating invitation to itself, she kept conversation limited to short navigational directions until they were finally at the stop of her apartment building. "Same time at the shelter tomorrow?"
"Yes, if you'd like to join me again that is, not that you have to. I'm sure that there are a number of other ways you'd rather spend your Saturday." His eyes shifted to his shoes as if he were inspecting an invisible stain to hide another flash of pink over his cheeks.
It's really not fair how cute you can be sometimes… Keena stepped onto the first step and stood on toe tips to place a chaste kiss across one of those reddened crests. All before she realized what she'd done. Or considered his personal space. Or even asked? Oh God, what did I do? He'll never--
Her internal panic was cut off by Kennyo's lips on her own cheek, mimicking her actions with the same gentleness he handled newborn kittens at the shelter. Warmth blossomed from the soles of her feet to her ears and even under where his nose still lingered, as if he too were wondering if this moment were real. She wanted more but didn't dare push him too fast. She met his gaze and within swirled a reflection of her own desire for more yet reservation as if he were scared of pushing her too fast. He needed it in words.
"Kennyo…" her voice was barely more than the puff of white that lifted between them. "Kennyo, it's ok."
Those beautiful onyx orbs widened a fraction as he processed her words before gently brushing a mass of crimson curls over one shoulder and closed the remaining space between them.

26: WIP Questionnaire
1. What is the title of your WIP? - Currently I am going by the title "Wake"
2. What is your WIP about? - My main character, Holly Vincent, goes on a quest to find The Cursed Fate in hopes of saving her recently disappeared mother, but she must hurry because her time is running out.
3. What Genre is your WIP? - YA Fantasy-Romance
4. What is the target audience for your WIP? - 12+
5. How long have you been working on your WIP? - I've been planning it for about four years or so. Yikes. But this last year has been the most progress I've made.
6. What draft are you on? - The first draft
7. Did you plot your WIP before you started writing, or are you pantsing it? - I'm trying to plot it to the best of my ability. I've just started trying to write it, but I fall in between planning and pantsing. I like to have an idea of where I'm going but I find I'm most creative while I'm physically writing and in that headspace so I'm giving myself lots of room to make things up as I go.
8. What program do you write your WIP in? - Microsoft Word because I know it the most lol. (I've been considering trying out Scrivner tho)
9. What inspired your WIP/how did you think of it? - I initially got the idea in 2017 so I can't remember the "aha!" moment of my idea, but I was really inspired by Hades and Persephone in Greek Mythology as well as the Moirai in Greek myths. I was also inspired lots by the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J Maas, as well as the Caraval series by Stephanie Garber.
10. Share a song that makes you think of your WIP. - My Tears Ricochet by Taylor Swift
11. What is your WIP’s aesthetic? - I don't have a name for the aesthetic really, but in my pinterest board, my wip is heavily inspired by: Victorian London, medieval/fantasycore, starry skies, the colour gold, dark green forests.
12. Do you want to publish your WIP traditionally, self publish, post it online, or keep it for yourself? - I plan to eventually publish it traditionally, but I'm open to it also just being kept with me if I decide later on that I don't think it should be published.
13. A little bit about your protagonist? - Holly Vincent is my main protagonist- she's the character I thought of first. She is 18 years old and living within the mortal lands. However she's a little more complicated than the people around her, because she's clairvoyant in a land where magic or any kind of sixth sense is completely forbidden. Her mother was also clairvoyant, and Holly had ended up spending most of her teen years taking care of her mother who eventually lost her grip on reality due to her clairvoyance, and because of this Holly doesn't like to press into her abilities. She's quite scared of them. She's also very loyal, emotionally driven and completely altruistic which kind of sets off her adventure to find/save her mother. She's also very driven to find her purpose.
14. A little bit about your supporting cast? - Arrow is a bandit that runs into Holly and eventually accompanies her on this journey to find The Cursed Fate. Arrow is a very lost character and really struggles with understanding who he is or what his purpose is, which kind of gives him grounds on relating with Holly more than he really realizes. He's very smart, curious, and independent, and he's quite observant. - Becca Davis who has grown up alongside the throne because her father is the King's Royal Guard. She's best friends with the King's son Declan. She also has big dreams to become a Knight, even though girls aren't allowed to be. She's very determined, reliable, independent and strong willed. hardworking. She has a complicated relationship with her father, which is a large driving factor in her story, and she really values his approval. - Another character who was going to be part of Becca's story was one of my favourite characters who I'm in love with. His name is Cassian and he is one of the Fates known as a the Fate of Love and Passion. He's very bougie and loves a life of luxury. He's always dressed immaculately and cares deeply about his outward appearance. He's also very sly, charming, and playful. - Note: Becca and Cassian were originally a part of an idea I had to make this book Multi-POVs, with the POV centered around Becca's journey. I'm leaning towards keeping it part of one book as the events in Becca's journey are in the same world and time as Holly's journey. I'm having trouble mostly trying to tie these two together in a unique/interesting or realistic way. If I decide to cut them from Holly's book, I planned to have Becca and Cassian have their own spinoff. (But I'm heavily leaning towards lacing Becca's journey with Holly's.)
15. A little bit about your antagonist? - There's a couple of antagonists in this book. For Becca, there's Declan who used to be her best friend but due to circumstances (which adhere to her plotline) they have a falling out and he becomes her enemy. Declan is my favourite antagonist, because he's not *really* an antagonist but a victim of tragedy and grief. It's his grief that propels him into becoming the antagonist. For Holly, her antagonist is actually her life's fate, which is to die in her eighteenth year. Because of this, she battles a lot of illness throughout the book which complicates other obstacles as well.
16. What is the setting of your WIP like? - My setting is set in two places. We have the Mortal Lands, which is home to the humans. The Mortal lands known as Estermere is filled with vast countrysides, mountains and hills. Providence is the city where Holly and Becca grew up is very inspired by Victorian London, so big brick buildings, cobblestoned streets, big markets. The weather is often cloudy and grey, but the sun does like to peak out during the summer months. - My second setting is in the non-mortal lands that I call Aeonian. Aeonian is home to those who are not human and is filled with magic. Aeonian is filled with clear, starry skies, crystal-clear lakes and rivers, bright vegetation and just very fairytale-esque. - I don't know if my characters are ever going to explore this place, but a part of the mythology in my story is in a land called The Haven, which is home to deities and gods/goddesses. It's more brutal there, very cold and grey, sharp-looking buildings, rocky and dark.
17. One fun fact about the world of your WIP? - In Aeonian, there's a mountain called Lada's Mountain which was named after the goddess Lada after the god Ozen cast her out of The Haven and she fell into Aeonian. A large mountain grew in her place and now Lada's Mountain is known as a mountain of blessing and prosperity.
18. Do you have any faceclaims/picrews for your characters? - I do! But they're all on my pinterest board and I don't feel like posting them here lol.
19. Share a song that makes you think of your protagonist. - Holly: Oceans by Seafret - Arrow: Natural by Imagine Dragons, alternatively Neptune by Sleeping At Last reminds me of him as well. - Becca: My Tears Ricochet by Taylor Swift (this song fits a lot of the main characters in my story so I also consider it the "theme song" of my wip) - Cassian: Outgrown by Dermot Kennedy
20. Share a song that makes you think of your antagonist. - My Tears Ricochet by Taylor Swift also reminds me of Declan. It reminds me of Becca and Declan’s friendship on a whole.
21. Does your WIP have romance? If so, what is your favorite couple? - Obviously!! I live only for romance novels so it's natural that I write them too. Cassian and Becca in my head are my favourite. Arrow and Holly are cute, but Cassian and Becca are the two I'm most excited to write which is a large reason I don't want to cut them from this book because I just *have* to write them, immediately.
22. Favorite friendship in your WIP? - I'm planning for Holly and Becca to have a good friendship in this book but I'm still struggling on working out the kinks. I would also say Declan and Becca because they made such good friends, but their friendship is mostly turmoil and betrayal so it just ~hurts me~
23. Characters with the best dynamic? - Probably Arrow and Holly, even though Cassian and Becca are my favourite couple.
24. Share a song that makes you think of your favorite character dynamic. - I don't think I have another song oops!
25. Easiest character to write? - Cassian
26. Hardest character to write? - Oddly enough, Holly is someone I find hard to write. I've just begun my first draft but a couple months ago I start with writing short stories on the characters just to get a grasp on them as people and I've found Holly very hard to write.
27. Which character is the most like you? - I think Becca is a little bit like me.
28. What is the strangest thing you’ve had to research for your WIP? - I don't think I've had anything too strange yet because I've just started, but there's been tons in other stories lol
29. What is the latest you’ve stayed up/earliest you’ve gotten up to write? - I think I stayed up until 1 AM writing once and the earliest I got up was 9 AM, but I don't like to write in the mornings because I find my creative threshold is usually between 4 pm - 11 pm. (Maybe even starting later than around, around 5 or 6 pm). I've always wanted to be the writer that writes in the morning because I get anticipation anxiety when I haven't done anything but it's just not it for me lol.
30. Do any of the names in your WIP have significance? - Yes! But mostly the places are significant. Holly's mom has a significant name because her name is Asteria which means astrology or dreams, and because she's clairvoyant I thought it fit. I have the name Maeve for one of the Fates sisters; Maeve mostly means 'Intoxicating' I think, but I read on pinterest it can also mean 'evil queen' (but I highly doubt that's for real lmao) but the evil queen was the reason I named that character Maeve, because she's the Original sister Fate that is known as the 'mother of death'. As for my geography, Providence means God's will which can also mean destiny so I thought it tied in with the theme of this novel. Aeonian means everlasting, which I felt also fit with the theme, but that's it as far as names!
31. Favorite line from your WIP? - I don't think I have one yet, because I've only just started lol.
32. Is your WIP action heavy, or more relaxed? - I think it'll meet in the middle. I'm worried about writing action because it's not my strength, but there's definitely a few scenes I have planned in my head that are action packed.
33. What are your favorite tropes you use in your WIP? - Enemies To Lovers baby
34. Sum up your WIP using only emojis. - N/A (I'm on my lap top sorry!)
35. What are some of the themes of your WIP? - Purpose, love triumphs, destiny
36. What is the message you want readers to take away from your WIP? - I don't know this yet. I know I have the main idea of writing about purpose and meaning, because that's something I'm struggling with but that's as far as I know
#I'm avoiding facing the frustration of plot holes so i decided to do this instead#surveys#about my wip

Photo
me, myself and i
i was tagged in the ✨fic writer interview✨ a while back but thought i’d rehash because...why not! so here’s more about me! thanks for the ask this time ‘round @davonysus, @thesleepiesthufflepuff and @the-starryknight (and starry, i loved the idea of including this picrew, so i stole it, mwah!)
thanks as well to the following lovelies for also tagging me on the picrew above. it’s honestly, my favorite one i’ve done. big love, y’all @legendrarry, @xanthippe74, @thesleepiesthufflepuff, and @thusspoketrish
Name: Peach, my nickname from day one...and i even have a peach tattoo 🍑 peachpety is my handle both here and on AO3.
Fandoms: HP, bay-bee. Drarry is my #1, but I love rarepairs as well. Big fan of Captive Prince! I love webcomics and graphic novels, and I support many artists on Patreon. If it’s got a Blond/Dark Hair pairing you can believe I’m ALL OVER IT.
Where you post: AO3 and on this blog.
Most popular oneshot: So a lot of what I write are oneshots, lol. I’m all about the short fic, ficlet and drabble. On AO3, it’s Ten Easy Steps, a texting fic I wrote inspired by a conversation about spiders on the Drarry Discord. And on tumblr it’s Psycho, from my 31 Autumn Drarry Drabbles Series.
Most popular multichap: Ok, y’all I only have one chaptered thing, and it’s not even a finished thing, My True Love Gave To Me, for 25 Days of Harry and Draco, a bit of Christmas fluff and cuteness, very On Brand.
Favorite story you’ve written so far: I love all my fics, y’all, for different reasons. BUT I will say that my fic for HP Sudsfest, Color Me Enamored, is my favorite. I had so much fun delving into emotions depicted as color, and I love writing a more mature, 40 year old Drarry. [whispers - I’m commissioning art for this piece because, well, I love it, and I want art for it, and so, merry merry to me, ha.] Stay tuned.
Fic you were nervous to post: My 2020 Wireless fic, Love Found. Without hesitation, without question. It was my first Fest, my second only posting of fanfic ever, and I thought, sure, let’s pick a prompt from a fandom legend (and gift it to them! like hi, hello, you don’t know me. but HERE IS THIS THING I WROTE, gah), lemme re-write the Tower scene from HBP with our 16yo boys engaged in (off-screen, non-explicit) sexual activity and ALSO have a possibly triggering creepy character interaction. I’d lost my beta right from the start, and I was so green in the fandom and to fanfiction writing! I asked the few lovely, wonderful folks I’d interacted with for help, and they were lovely and wonderful (BLESS THEIR HEARTS). They had to talk me off the ledge many, many, many times. I nearly pulled the damn thing! I cried literal tears over this fic and cursed past me in the endeavor. It’s the one I fretted over the most, worked the hardest on…so yea. That One.
How you choose your titles: I usually pick from something in the story, words I’ve written or some theme or phrase that jumps out at me.
Do you outline: So I tried outlining for My True Love, and realized I am terrible at outlining. I write non-linear stream of consciousness…in all caps for first drafts. Lots of bullets. So I’m learning that for longer fic, while I do need to have something planned, loose outlines work better for me.
Complete: I’ve 45 completed works on AO3.
In progress: My True Love, of course. I’ve a series, Days of Our Magical Lives, in the works…Moving Day, the sequel to my very first fanfic, Laundry Day is...still nearly done and still sitting there but I’m wanting to finish that. I’m writing for Draco/Ron Fest (UBER EXCITED, y’all!!) and H/D Cluefest to kick off 2021.
Coming soon/not started: I’m SERIOUSLY considering Big Bang, though the word count scares the bejeezus out of me. I’ve an idea! I think...anyway. And I’ve something I’d maybe do for LCD...? Both are anon fests, so I can’t get into deets!
Prompts? I am always open for prompts/asks to write! I had the MOST fun writing my Autumn Drabbles from prompts. So bring ‘em, y’all.
Upcoming work you’re most excited about: At the moment, it’s my Draco/Ron piece, but I’m also excited to see My True Love to completion.
Tagging for the picrew and/or the interview @thusspoketrish, @fictional, @ladderofyears, @curlyy-hair-dont-care, @veelawings, @shealwaysreads, @bonesliketambourines, @mystickitten42 and anyone else (including the lovelies in my list above) who wants to join!
Apologies for cross posts, and, as always, no obligation!
xoxo peach 🍑
