#this is what made creating star wars ocs so fun and this is what makes creating characters in the forgotten realms setting so so fun

I love worlds with specific rules and tonnes of lore building blocks so I can make my own little guys and put them there. Give me the dollhouse and a dollmaker and let me customise a few things

[sunnymainecoon]

(Ahem, 2 minutes future Sunny speaking) context is, simply put, Dream momentarily forgot about everything that went wrong. But, he doesn't have to dwell into that anymore, not when the (literally pointless)war is over.

Headcanon time lessgo!! Dream never got into any hobbies because of his job as a guardian but there is one thing he knows how to do and that's making flower crowns :3 and since it's connected to childhood memories he tends to forget how cruel the world is. Luckily though, war is over ;3 so he can finally rest!!.... At least in this timeline.(Sunny, shush, stop, YOU NEED TO STOP YOU F—) and since we're talking about flowers..(we are?) I'm also gonna mention I see Dream as a big flower nerd :3(stop doing that face) and it's even more fun out in the multiverse 'cause god are there so many flowers!! He also likes to see what kind of absurd flowers he can make fit together :3(Sunny, what did I just say)

Also, let me introduce y'all to my "crying you a river" style! Created by my literal tears :3(....) I suffer from life crisis whenever art styles and this one is just a silly and simple funker. I'm gonna lend this art style to... Dreamtale Sunny! Yeah, he exists apparently... I usually make or have OCs that I use to represent different styles- which is one way to hide who I am ig...

Anyways— @cakesmelons I'm picking the star Sanses because this was already being made(here u go bessie) TwT I just— I need to break my hands wait I meant

....anyways. I have to give credits to Roxy(creator of Slash) because my thoughts while I came up with this was inspired by that one comic where Dream literally forgot his brother was dead :3(Sunny I hope you die)(...please don't—)

DJ's Follower Celebration!!!

Hi friends! I recently hit a follower milestone that absolutely blew my mind; I never really expected anyone to be particularly interested in my work, let alone this many of you. I am constantly blown away by your talent, insight, and creativity. I'm so grateful for every single one of you, and I want to celebrate YOU!

With that in mind, I'm going to be opening requests to create Datafiles like the one I made for Cerra for your Star Wars OCs. I've created three different versions: a Grand Army of the Republic Personnel Datafile, a Jedi Archive Member Record Datafile, and an ISB Suspect Datafile. Here are some examples of what they look like:

Transcripts in alt text.

Here's what you need to do to participate:

Submit an Ask with your OC's name and the artwork you'd like me to use. The artwork should have either a plain or a transparent background, and the filesize needs to be smaller than 25MB.

Fill out this form to tell me what information you'd like included in your OC's datafile.

Reblog this post to spread the word so other folks can participate, too.

That's it! Detailed rules are below the cut:

Rules:

Since this is intended to celebrate my followers, this event is only open to folks who follow me. I will be checking.

Each blog can submit a maximum of two requests.

Once I've created the Datafile, I'll answer your Ask with the PNG and the transcript. Feel free to share and repost them elsewhere, but it would be lovely if you could give me credit; I worked hard on these!

Requests will be filled in the order in which they are received; please be patient as it takes time to create the Datafiles.

I will not begin working on a request until I receive BOTH the Tumblr Ask AND the info form response.

By submitting your OC info, you agree to allow me to edit the text if necessary to fit in the template without consulting you ahead of time.

If you use a Picrew or similar to create your OC artwork, please include the link in your ask to credit the creator. By submitting artwork, you affirm that you have a right to share and transform/edit the artwork, and that you are giving me permission to share/edit the artwork as well.

Don't submit inappropriate images, please. I'm a delicate kriffing flower.

Do not submit hateful content.

I reserve the right to ignore a request for any reason.

Tips for success:

Keep it succinct; it's fine to use truncated, abrupt sentences. Sometimes they make it sound more official, and remember, I have limited space in the templates. I'll do my best to accommodate what you submit, but I might need to edit the text to fit (see Rule 6).

Think about whether the organization creating the Datafile would know/care to include the information. Examples of things to include: injuries sustained in battle (particularly if they were severe/debilitating); special/unusual Force abilities; an explanation of why a Jedi padawan switched masters; outstanding warrants. Examples of things that might be less relevant: petty crimes that the ISB wouldn't necessarily investigate (keeping in mind that they're more like the FBI/CIA/NSA than the local PD); minor injuries sustained outside of combat (like a black eye from a barfight at 79's); favorite snack when they were a youngling in the Jedi temple creche (unless they're STILL a youngling in the Jedi temple creche).

Remember that the ISB stands for Imperial Security Bureau, so they wouldn't have a file during the Clone Wars. Similarly, the Jedi Archive and GAR records wouldn't reference the ISB Datafile (though ISB certainly could have access to Jedi and GAR records).

Think about the perspective of the person creating the record; if it's ISB, they might accuse your OC of a serious crime that they didn't commit (or exaggerate a minor crime to look more severe than it actually was) for the sake of propaganda.

Have fun with it! "Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking" is a fantastic trope for a reason!

Thank you all so very much for being such a lovely, welcoming group! I can't wait to celebrate with you!

I used these picrews to create the OC artwork for the examples: GAR; ISB; Jedi Archive.

[mildlybizarrecorvid]

Remember how I said I'd talk about the guy who looted the UFO in my Dialtone lore post?

Let's talk about Nathaniel Robot.

Born in the early 19th century to middle classed immigrants, Nathaniel initially led a fairly standard life. Then at the age of 8, they left him behind on a family trip and were so caught up in frontier shit they failed to notice and get him back for two years.

A born entrepreneur, Nathaniel made his first break into business running a way station and general store. He quickly changed his surname to Robot, a set of random letters he got by asking strangers for their favorite letter, from his birth name of Murderface, fearing the effects it may have on business.

Nathaniel made his initial fortune, however, with a different business. He made his journey west, as was fashionable at the time, and he noticed a few things rather obvious nowadays.

1: People are happy to work for you if you treat them well, especially if other places won't.

2: There were a lot of women and minorities who wanted to get into various fields, but were unable to because this was the 19th century.

With this knowledge, he set about founding a variety of businesses with the fundamental principle of hiring and treating people solely off of the quality of their work. As you can guess, he was also staunchly pro-union. Because this is my fun lil oc world and I'm god, this worked great for him.

After some years of success and significantly moving the cultural norms leftward, he moved to Alaska in hopes of high yield snow farming. While there, he discovered an alien space ship which had crashed some years prior. Like any right thinking American, he investigated alone without telling anyone. Some time later, he ran into the nearest town raving of devices 'beyond comprehension' and scheduled a demonstration. Once the day came, he showed off a computer he's fixed up, powered by a solar panel he'd pried off the ship.

After he threw money at someone smart to reverse engineer the technology, he'd essentially thrown technology ahead over a century, furthering his business. Despite this, he made many of the patents public with the logic that if someone added a brilliant extra, he could hire them, or give a grant. He was less a brilliant businessman than lucky, and the type who's willing to throw money at anything vaguely interesting.

While technology was able to extend Robot's life significantly, he eventually passed away in the mid 20th century. However, he went out with a bang, mere weeks after announcements of his company creating the first autonomous computer, dubbed a robot in his honor.

Robot's was also a life-long supporter of civil rights movements, known for bragging about his 'anonymous' donations to whichever groups looked most likely to make an effective difference. These actions by someone with an enormous influence (just look at Edison [fuck Edison], or Carnegie for people who could approximate his status) resulted in much of that world achieving the closest to full equality and equity you're going to get in the late 20th century. A known bisexual, Robot's suspected relationship with gay activist Steven Mandater would likely have resulted in scandal if not for the public perception of him being batshit insane anyway.

Examples of what caused that view were his claim that seagulls only don't talk for fear of paying taxes, his claim to have invented calculus before Newton, and the fact that before anyone told him of motion picture technology he withdrew into his rooms for a week before returning with a full script for what would to a person from our world be recognizable as the original Star Wars trilogy.

I don’t understand why anyone had a problem with the Rome AU? It’s. It’s fiction. It’s not meant to be historically accurate, that was never the point. What, y’all gonna start coming after every period romance written ever?

I adored Rome AU. It was one of my favorites. It doesn’t have to be anywhere close to accurate, it just has to be fun for you to create. So create more of it if it makes you happy. You deserve that 💖

I would love to, it had a very specific energy, but I got a lot of people correcting me about little details. It puts me off creating anything to do with it despite loving it so much, because I’m just here having fun but people are mad about idk, a dye colour, or some tiny detail about how a social norm was written about or something. Now I hate history, I failed it, every test I ever took I failed horribly, it was my one true subject I just didn’t click with, so having to essentially research a bunch of history stuff before enjoying a mindless hobby topic that’s more about OCs than the setting kind of just sucks! Like a lot!! my adhd hates it haha, I can’t read a sentence without reading it 3-4 times. I just don’t read well, and when I say this people suggest audio books or YouTube videos; no one seems to understand that I truly, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, I truly cannot focus on historical content. It’s all very important and interesting but just not something I can consume and enjoy? I’m too stupid for it haha!

BUT. I really do miss it, I made the Star Wars AU a reflection of it to escape the history buffs that heckle in the tags, but somehow it doesn’t have the same energy, close but somethings missing.

Either way it IS fiction, I was going to throw some of the old gods and monsters in to try to pull it away from the history aspect, but it was too late by that point, and no doubt someone would have had issues with that too.

Defo one of the greats, I love big wet dog peach who just needs love and patience and gentleness. There was real charm to plum and her calm power, and grey the biggest sweetheart of them all. Idk. Guess it’s done for sadly, but GOD, miss it so much. Just finished with being expected to research something I just want to enjoy for he fun of it yknow? My brain can’t do it hah

I love that it was one of your favs, I hear it a lot, and love that briefly it brought some joy to others!

Kcalb + Wodahs [thesis]

Still working on some fics, but in the meanwhile, I had this post in my drafts for so long and I forgot about it entirely, so I thought I might as well edit and post it now.

I was going to discuss the “Kurotsuno & Sullivan’s relation to Kcalb” theory first, but I got finished with this one a lot faster, so I’ll be posting the former one at a later date. This headcanon post concerns Wodahs & Kcalb + their relation to one another.

This is just for fun, so I apologize for any potential inaccuracies - if that’s the case, then I implore people to point them out so I can try and fix any inconsistencies there might be. This is quite short, but there’s always a lot to talk about.

I want to first start off by not focusing on either Kcalb or Wodahs, but on other characters far distant from TGG to give a bit more context and background behind my theory. Namely, this image here is quite intriguing.

Ivlis, Rosaliya, & Reficul are labeled as, “Manufactured by God” - that is, they were created by the God of the world they (used to) reside in.

Two appear to be missing from this picture, leaving out Satanick & Kcalb, but they obviously had to appear somehow. They did not materialize out of thin air by nothingness - we've seen previously, as an example, Siralos created Ivlis (& Igls) from flames, Meikai was created from a star by Satanick. So, if their corresponding Gods did not make them out of something, then where did they come from?

Speaking out of materializing out of thin air, All of the Gods ALSO had to “appear” somehow, as they are not clearly the highest deities in DSPverse, considering Vicers, Justim, Photon, Nortkele, Reminiscences are all above them in terms of ranking and categorizing, although it's largely unknown what they are supposed to represent (in the grander scheme) or even what species they are. They could also similarly just be cosmic deities, but higher-ranking than the gods we currently know most about.

It is likely, as one of many possibilities, that either Justim or Vicers created them. Judging by the image below - by how Justim is in focus and standing in front of all the other gods - I’m inclined to think they are the one who created all the Gods, at the very least, since they have been stated to be “God of Gods” - yet Vicers has never been called “Devil of Devils”, which would make sense if Vicers only created two of them (Satanick and Kcalb), as the rest of the devils were created by their own corresponding Gods.

Justim: *gestures behind them* these r my ocs! ^ u ^

(Not really related as such, but Photon and Nortkele are fairly obvious in a sense what they’re supposed to represent (it’s pretty much spelled out in their names), but that leaves Reminiscences… so, maybe they (she?) are a personification of “Matter” while their dark counterpart is a personification of “Antimatter”? Either way, they’re supposed to represent at least something floating around in space? An atom? A neutron? We’ll have to wait patiently for a while longer for another clue.)

Anyway, back to Vicers.

“The power to bestow life and the power to take it all away.”

So, Vicers can both create and destroy, it seems like. If he really did make Kcalb, he could have bestowed the latter with his destruction powers.

Vicers & Justim’s relationship seems quite complex, they’ve been inconsistently described as several things ( “can’t stand eachother, can’t live without one another either” / “used to have a big fight in the past”, and now “lovers” ), all these facebook relationship statues could be spread out within a specific span of time; maybe they started off as friends, then got into a conflict with one another, almost started (or did start) a war, then they made up, but it was still quite tense between them. At long last, they settled their differences and then became friends again, eventually lovers.

Wodahs could similarly have been created by either Vicers or Justim (or they could have created them together, as sort of a peace treaty and proof that two opposite beings can co-exist together, but I am more inclined towards only Vicers having manufactured Kcalb, as well as Wodahs.)

EDIT: Future!me has come to edit this wall of text before posting, having now read some of the more recent information from one of DSP's drawing livestreams. "Did Etihw create Wodahs?" question was answered with an uncertain: "You can say yes AND no to that." well, that kinda throws the "Vicers created Wodahs" theory out the window, doesn't it?

So, what if Etihw gave life to something that originally belonged Kcalb? Like a feather from a crow?

Characters of different species can be “blood siblings” as we’ve seen (Igls Unth is an angel, Ivlis is a demon, but they’re still technically 'siblings' created by the same god, if you see them as such), so could Kcalb & Wodahs be the same? It might be more appropriate to refer to them as half-siblings in this case.

Reficul & Sol / Ivlis & Igls Unth “Devil and the Head Angel” - both duos are considered blood siblings, so why couldn’t Wodahs & Kcalb be considered the same? (granted, Reficul used to be an angel, so using her is kind of a flimsier example.)

I personally can’t get behind either 1) “Kcalb used to be an angel” or 2) “Wodahs used to be a demon” theories, because

1) For Kcalb to have been angel, he would have to have been created by Etihw in the first place, but that’s clearly (as we saw in the previous point) not the case.

2) Wodahs has been an angel since he was a young babey;

and a FALLEN angel, no less? Gray wings in DSP’s universe are associated with damnation by god... hmm…

We’ve seen angels turn into demons, but never a demon turning into an angel. The concept of "redemption for your sins" doesn’t appear to exist with Gods & their angels. Once you’ve turned into a demon, there is no "reversing" that effect or gaining back the status as an angel. It’s the same with biblical/mythological concept of angels/demons (as all fallen angels automatically become demons, but never in reverse).

Since all angels are typically created by Gods, Wodahs could possibly be an outlier and considered not a true angel, but a “farce” in a sense he was created out of something that originally belonged to a Devil, hence why his wings have been gray since he was a child.

He’s also quite brutal in some instances in TGG in contrast to most angels; he keeps bullying/purposefully reminding Kcalb about his missing eye (instead of just letting go of the past), chokes out Grora and almost breaks her leg when she messed up his flowerbeds, and his GGT!self was seen trying to drunkenly molest GGT!Grora in one of the omakes...)

But, maybe in the past things were different with someone like Etihw (who is generally considered an anomaly amongst the other gods), who was willing to give Wodahs actual pure white wings and halo when he left Kcalb to go over to Etihw’s side during the war (thus is the reason Kcalb took his eye for betraying him in the first place).

He still shows more loyalty to Kcalb in the game over Etihw despite everything, which reaffirms my theory of him not having a very close relation to Etihw post-war.

Curious to hear anyone else's thoughts on this!

filoni stans just don't quit huh?

"people are mad sabine has force powers because it's badly hidden misogyny-"

oh here we go again as if many people haven't already explained in depth how she's been character assassinated.

heads up everyone, if we don't like filoni's stupid ass decisions and contrived writing it must always be because of sexism, racism and whichever excuse stans use to deflect criticism. this is what happens when we spoil their fun. some of them are sounding like last jedi stans who screamed misogyny and racism when fans rightfully pointed out the badly written script, the way kylo almost took over rey's story and the way poc were mistreated. love how they yell sexism while glossing over how filoni made ahsoka's importance all about a man in this show.

sabine was already a good character in rebels without needing to be force sensitive. she had her own cultural identity as a mandalorian. guess none of that matters now, she gets to follow a rote padawan story that makes no sense for her and wasn't even properly developed. all because filoni is far up his own ass about his special mando jedi ocs while disrespecting established jedi characters. good lord, i'm glad this season is over.

NO THEY DO NOT ANON!!!! And that’s the thing that drives me crazy about Feloni Stan’s is I think his project promote bad behavior. There is so much racism and sexism in these projects that everyone is more than happy to turn a blind eye too. I, on the other hand, cannot condone any of it and I refuse to make excuses for it and I will say exactly what’s on my mind even if others are afraid to because this is ridiculous. There are so many talented writers and minds out there who can continue the Star Wars legacy without going low and create inspiring content that can generate hope in future generations to come but nope we’re still gonna keep ignorant people in high places and produce more crap.

And yes Sabine should have stayed true to who she was. There was no need for this Jedi nonsense.

30 day no fanart challenge

this is the meat of the challenge: no fanart for 30 days (oh wow lol) 1. drawing categories/prompts instead of IP: it can be *anything*, it can be food, hobbies/professions, folklore/mythology. eg: actual taiko drums instead of taiko no tatsujin characters, cute dinosaurs instead of yoshi, cool hedgehogs instead sonic (lol) 2. IF i happen to wanna draw fanart, it's gotta be at least 100 years old (anything before 1924) eg: drawing fanart of John Tenniel's Alice (1865) and not disney Alice (1951), Albert Lynch's Joan of Arc (1903) and not Clone High Joan (2002). ps: im not sure about famous people yet, but i think ill go with the same idea that theyd have to have been dead before 1924.

here's some stuff ive drawn with that in mind, even though i hadnt stablished the challenge yet lol

why a no fanart challenge? well well well, if this isnt another post artist alley eulogy lol

here's some background feelings: after having helped promote 2 japanese food festivals and tabled on both its artist alley's, and knowing myself, and having grown up in the age of comic/book to film adaptations and the rebootprequelsequelmagaddon, it's really hard for me not to fanart, even though i trashtalk hollywood all the time for not taking risks and doing original stuff, lo and behold, i do the same. who am i to judge _anything_ when i watched all three star wars sequels in theaters and crushed on kylux for years, i was kneedeep into hannigram, i gave money to the barbenheimer industrial complex. how can i blame RGG for not letting kiryu go when i _cried legit tears of joy_ when pirate majima was announced? (granted, it's not as bad as the kiryu situation lol but this is about ma$cots, not me lol)

i love a lot of characters, a lot of stories, im always jumping from show to show, game to game, and coming back to them. but i wanna go beyond my love for other people's art and be in love with my own, now that im at a better skill and mental state. it might not resonate as much, specially at the japanese festivals im a part of, but i wanna try. and im gonna start slow, i *am* going to draw japanese food, japanese animals, and create my tiny little scenes and see what comes up. i love stickers with every fiber of my being lol so ill always have in mind that ill draw stuff that i would wanna stick on my own sketchbooks and journals. but i need to do this, at least for 30 days. who knows what will happen later, you know? a friend of mine once said that colored pencils are like sugar, and graphite pencils are like veggies. and i feel like fanart and not-fanart is the same. we love fanart, but it's not healthy to only draw fanart... also i love people who delve into IP OCs and stuff, it always seems a lot of fun. i could try that, but i think ill cut my fanart ties cold turkey and then i can figure something out, i dont know lol i could go back to d&d character sheets lol another side note: i went to film school bc i loved watching movies. i wanted to tell stories, but i had no idea how, and i didnt think i had the talent for drawing. i started studying japanese and bullet journaling, bc i had the urge to draw, and those were the mediums that were close enough to drawing i felt i could try. and then hannibal happened, i had a roommate who was learning to watercolor, and i was like, screw it, let me draw hannigram bc i love them lol ive had the opportunity to make some movies, but logistically and creatively, they never felt as good as having the spark of inspiration, sketching, linearting, painting, printing and selling these tiny ass stickers. there is some control freakness in that, sure lol but there's also a need to build confidence in my own abilities, which sadly i didnt have a space for in movie sets... anyway, ill always mourn not having spent my teens drawing, but im making my kid self proud now <3 also i might post my new stickers at some point, i still havent made a pinned post lol but someday, you know so yeah, if anyone's reading this, ty lol TLDR: if you draw, write, sculpt, whatever, anything, and you tend to do fanart, ask yourself if you're fanarting a bit too much, if there's a way of turning your love for these characters/worlds into something different and more you.

Chapter 24

Warnings: None

Copyright: I do not own any Marvel characters or locations. However, I do own my OC: Elizabeth Y/L/N (created so you don't get Y/N and Y/S/N consistently mixed up. I do not condone any copying of this.

YOU STOOD, LOOKING OVER THE BALCONY at the warriors training on Asgard. Sif was down there, a sword in her hand. She was fighting against Elizabeth, who had a sword in her hand as well. There were several dozen people in the room, perhaps somewhere between 80 and 100. Most were fighting in pairs, sometimes three or four, but all of them were fighting with swords.

Thor was down there as well, fighting with a red bearded man that you had been introduced to as Volstagg. Hogun and Fandral were down there as well, but Loki was nowhere to be found. You wondered if Loki ever joined them, or what he did when he was here.

Sif knocked the sword out of Elizabeth's hands, knocking her feet out from underneath you younger sister and she fell flat on her back. Elizabeth surrendered as Sif put the tip of the sword at her throat.

Then Sif smiled, helping her to her feet. Elizabeth asked her something and Sif showed her something on the sword.

Of course, it wasn't just Asgardians down there either. Natasha and Clint were down there as well, fighting with another Asgardian who seemed to matched against them well, which was a surprise considering Nat's superior fighting.

You had never been one for fighting. At least, not since you and Elizabeth had been young. Sometimes the two of you had wrestled or fought with sticks like they were Star Wars sabers, but not after. . . not after. . .

"Hello my dear, may I accompany you?" A soft voice asked from your right. You jumped a little and turned to see that the Queen of Asgard stood there. She was wearing a beautiful gown made of sky blue silk and her hair was littered with pearls.

"Y-Yes of course, your majesty." You said quickly, going to move back from the balcony, but she held up a hand and joined you there, overlooking the warriors. None of them looked up or noticed that their Queen had come to oversee their practice.

"Now, now, none of this 'your majesty' stuff." Queen Frigga scolded gently. "You're to be my daughter in law after all. You may just call me Frigga."

You smiled at that thought and then asked, "Do you come to oversee their training often?"

"Who said I was here for them?" the Queen asked gently. "Perhaps I wanted to talk to you."

"Oh." You stated, clearly surprised and then blushed deeper.

Frigga smiled deeper. "I do not like to come and oversee their training. As much as I enjoy watching them train, they restrain themselves when they realize I'm here. I prefer it when they act naturally so sometimes, I make myself invisible. Now come, let's sit."

She took your hand and you were surprised by the feel of hers. Her fingers, long and slender, and her hands mostly soft though there actually callouses right below where the fingers started.

The two of you sat on a stone bench, though it was not uncomfortable, but intricate. Though there was no back to the bench, you saw how straight the Queen sat and mimicked her posture, realizing just how much you were used to slouching.

"Why did you decide to come and watch?" the Queen asked softly. "I know you do not care for violence or weapons. I cannot imagine that you took pleasure in watching them fight. But you must have had a reason."

You thought about it and said. "I suppose no real reason at all. I have mostly been wandering the castle and-"

"I think you do have a reason." The Queen said and glancing over at you and you looked down at your feet.

"I wanted to check on Elizabeth." You chewed on your bottom lip. "But she seems fine."

Frigga was quiet and said nothing for a moment. You could hear laughter from down below, which sounded a lot like Clint. You wondered what it would be like, just for a moment, to fight with a sword. It wasn't going to be to the death, it might even be fun.

It conjured up images of you and Elizabeth, standing up on the fence. The beams were usually triangular shaped, with the edge facing upwards on the top row, but there were some posts that were flat. The two of you would stand on them, would try and get the other person to fall as you fought with plastic swords or sticks.

Elizabeth was usually better with the balance than you were, so she usually won on the front that you fell off. But if you were fighting on the ground, she was more defensive than offensive and you usually won instead as she hit less. A smile started to creep up on your lips. When was the last time the two of you had really played together? Done something fun together? Something the both of you thought was fun?

You nearly jumped when Frigga placed a soft hand on your arm. "Just because you pick up a sword does not make you a warrior, Y/N. Just because Elizabeth can hold her own against Sif for a few moments of time does not make her a warrior either. So I will ask you now, are you jealous of your sister?"

You were startled at the question. It had been the last thing you thought the Queen would ask you, considering that she'd been talking about swords and warriors only moments before.

"I- why would I be jealous of her?" You asked incredulously. You had everything. You had the exact life you wanted, living with your soulmates in a large city and it didn't hurt that they were rich and famous either. You were off the farm, you were beautiful and funny and everyone on the team loved you. You had amazing, close friends that helped you out when you needed them and you had the love and affection from your mother and father. You could sing and dance, you could draw and paint, you could even write stories so descriptive that people seemed to fall into them and told you they felt as if they were really in the story. Not to mention, you were the first born. You could get married first, you would inherit the farm when your father passed away, and you would have everything till the day you died.

Elizabeth had none of that. Or at least, not most of it.

Frigga gazed at you thoughtfully. There was no judgement in the look. Nothing that agreed with your rhetorical question, yet also nothing that said she disagreed with it. It was only as though she was thinking about the question herself.

And then she asked, "Would you believe that your sister was jealous of you?"

You blinked once more. You had never really thought about it like that. Elizabeth was good looking and extremely smart. If she didn't love the farm so much she could've probably gone on to be a doctor or a teacher. She couldn't dance, but she moved with a grace equal to it. She loved to read and she could ride a horse better than anyone you'd ever met. She made friends easily even if she didn't keep them, and she could fit in anywhere she was with whoever she was with. She was extremely loving, non judgmental, more open than anyone you knew. She had her morals and she stood by them solidly, never swayed by anything to change them.

And so you had then asked, more confused than before, "Why would she be jealous of me?"

Frigga smiled then. It was a soft smile, filled with love and you were suddenly vividly aware that though Thor had not made preparations (to your knowledge) about marriage, she clearly did think of you as her daughter.

She took your hand, smoothing circles on the back of it. "Sometimes, there are things we do not want to see, or perhaps we cannot see them. There is no criticism here, I only want to point something out. You do not believe you are jealous of Elizabeth, because you believe you have everything you'd ever want. But if that were the case, then you would know that Elizabeth was jealous of you, because then she cannot have everything. But if you are not jealous of her and she is not jealous of you, then where does that leave you?"

Her words were like a puzzle to you, like the answer was right there, like the key to unlocking all knowledge was right there, but you could not grasp it.

Frigga leaned forward, embracing you tightly and said. "I know you wish to spar with your sister again. Do not hold yourself back. Remember, a warrior does not always mean being a fighter, and a fighter is not always labelled by a sword."

She stood up, walking away with a grace that reminded you greatly of Elizabeth. You stood up once more, looking over the balcony. Elizabeth was taking a break, sitting on one of the benches, watching as Natasha and Sif sparred. They both moved with a deadly beat, though neither was close to beating the other.

You turned and walked away. You knew what you wanted to do.

ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ

"ARE YOU GOING TO SULK IN HERE THE entire time?" Frigga's soft voice echoed through the dim library. A purple-pink glow erupting from her fingers as it moved through the library to turn the lights brighter.

"I am not sulking." Loki replied, hunched in his favorite chair to read.

"You would not have to squint like that if you kept the lights lit you know." Frigga said warmly and lovingly as she came to sit on the arm of the chair.

Loki snorted and shut the book, looking up at his mother. "I've missed you mother."

"I know my darling." Frigga said, reaching out and touching his black hair. He put his head in her lap, letting her hold him like a little child. "Have you told the both of them?"

"Only Y/N. I could never find a time to tell her sister." Loki murmured. "I don't know how. I don't know what to do."

Frigga gently pushed his long black hair from his face. "I want you to know, whatever you choose, whatever they choose, I still love you. I know that's not enough, I know that's not the same, but I do love you."

Loki didn't move his face from her dress, but he smiled nevertheless, feeling the unconditional love radiate throughout him.

"Don't worry." Frigga said, pulling back and kissing his forehead. "Everything will work out the way that it should."

And as she left, Loki wondered about the look in her eyes, for it was a look that he knew well.

It was a look, of mischief.

ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ

YOU PICKED UP THE SWORD IN YOUR HAND. It was an unfamiliar weight, but comfortable. You'd chosen the smallest one first and it had felt weird but this next one, which was slightly larger was better.

The grip was fantastic as you walked over to Elizabeth and she looked up when she saw you coming, her eyes curious as she took in the fact you had a blade in your hand.

"Wanna battle?" You asked playfully.

Elizabeth grinned, "Sure." She got up and you saw that the sword she was using was a lighter colour, closer to the shade of the knives Loki had given her. There were emeralds in the hilt of the sword as well and you knew then Loki had probably given it to her.

"Have you seen any beams that we can fight on?" You asked, looking around.

"You remembered." Elizabeth said softly and you looked back at her. She was smiling again, a softer, warmer smile. "I thought you'd forgotten."

You shook your head. "I remember a lot of it Ellie. Now, c'mon. Let's go find a plank to stand on."

Elizabeth followed you as the two of you skirted the outskirts of the battlefield. There were planks farther away, that weren't being used at the moment.

"I'm probably rusty." Elizabeth admitted as she hoisted herself up on the plank, looking down at her feet before raising her sword. "But you're still going down."

You grinned, "We'll see about that."

The plank was smooth under your feet and slightly wider than the fence posts out on the farm. But probably even more than Elizabeth, you were also out of touch. Not to mention, these were real swords.

"We don't have armor." You pointed out.

Elizabeth grinned, "Light taps only then."

Elizabeth went for the first lunge and you lifted the sword, the clash of metal upon metal sending vibrations up your arm. You thrusted off and she grinned as she took a step back.

You lunged this time and she tilted her sword to the side, catching the blade and there was an unusual maneuver that you'd never seen her use before and you had to hold tighter as the sword was nearly ripped from your grasp.

"Sif teach you that move?" You asked.

She looked slightly surprised. "Yes."

"I was watching." You said, motioning up to the balcony and when she turned to look, you went for her leg.

She leaped backwards, landing on only one foot on the plank, nearly falling off. "Oi! You scoundrel." She said in a fake pirate accent that almost made you start laughing.

You grinned, gesturing for her to come at you. "I thought you were supposed to better on planks."

She smiled, shifting forwards a little. "You cannot goad me now. I've learned the art of patience."

But she attacked anyways in a series of blows until you were backing up to the very edge of the plank. With another thrust, she attempted to knock you off, but you pushed back a little. You pushed again and she tumbled sideways. She didn't go down without a fight though, yanking the blade so that you were brought out underneath your feet and the both of you fell to the floor.

Well, Elizabeth hit the floor with a soft cry, sword clattering out of her hand, skidding across the tile. You found yourself in a pair of strong arms and looked up to see Bucky had caught you, putting you back down on your feet.

"You alright doll?" Bucky asked you.

"Yeah, I'm fine." You said cheerfully, reaching up to kiss him. "Thanks for catching me."

"Anytime." Bucky grinned, kissing you back.

You turned to see Elizabeth picking herself up off the floor as Loki ran across the room, warriors turning to watch him run by. "Are you alright?" He asked, picking up her sword. "That was one nasty fall."

"I'm alright." Elizabeth said, brushing it off. "It's nothing new really."

You felt a sudden stab of guilt as she turned to look at you. "Good fight. You've gotten better."

There was none of her usual warmth though and she turned back to Loki, "Can you help me back to my room. I can't remember how to get there."

"Of course." Loki said, nodding to you and Bucky as a sign of him leaving and the two of them walked away.

You looked up at Bucky who was no longer looking at you. You just shook your head and said nothing.

"You should go back to your room too." Bucky said. "One of the Queen's handmaids actually told me to tell you and your sister that the Queen wants you both to rest up before the ball tonight."

"There's a ball?" You asked in surprise, feelings of guilt and thoughts of summers ago melting away. Thor had told you about the balls on Asgard, but you hadn't thought you'd be able to go to one. Not so soon anyways.

"Apparently so." Bucky said, looking happy about it. "But I think you have like handmaids waiting for you to help you get ready? I'm not sure."

"Thanks again Bucky." You said, kissing his cheek and heading off towards your bedroom.

Hi!

5 y 19.

Have a good day 🙃

Fanfiction Writing Ask Game

5. The fic you’re most proud of writing?

I have to say, it’s a bit of a tug-of-war between Lift a Sail and Anchors.

Lift a Sail started the series that I’m still enjoying crafting and it was the first time I had ever written so many chapters and reached a novel-length word-count.

But Anchors is the one I poured my heart into the most and I’m still amazed at how it all came together. I’m so glad it’s message about family and home came through and reached so many, and I’m elated that the story resonated with so many who have been through chronic pain and disability.

So I think Anchors get to win this round.

19. Have you ever created an OC for a fic?

Oh, yeah. I make plenty, really—if plot calls for extras, I makes extras. I try not to get too bogged down in details for like passersby and shop vendors but I always try to make them real. I use advice like “give everyone a reason to be in the story” and “write every character like they believe they’re the main character and the story is about them” when making even extras, often because I find that even giving them a name and a backstory (that most likely won’t trickle through to the actual narrative but I’ll know) helps paint a picture in my mind which, in turn, helps flesh out the world and the scene.

(Because I write quite a bit in Star Wars, I always try to make OC’s aliens—because I just love aliens and I feel there should be more shown—so I use little tidbits about the alien species to aid the story. For instance: if this OC is of an aquatic species but they’re a shop owner on a desert planet, how’d they end up there? Are they struggling with the dry heat? Do they have some accommodation like a humidifier around? It all paints a scene for me and I’m not saying it’s totally necessary but I enjoy immersive storytelling so that’s what I do.)

But actual, full-fledged, fleshed-out and named OC’s? Chi Drench from Anchors, my beloved, comes to mind. A blue Twi’Lek doctor from Lothal who helped the Rebels out during the Empire’s occupation on the planet and now is a surgeon and resident at Capitol City’s medcentre. I had so much fun building his personality and his quirks, like the fact he’s always wearing a colourfully printed cap and cartoon character pins on his scrubs—partly because he’s just very drawn to colours, partly because he now has the freedom after the Empire’s fall to be as expressive as he wishes, and partly because he helps out in the children’s ward and he likes to brighten their day.

And, of course, the crotchety old medical droid he works alongside who’s a bit of contrast to him, Sloan.

I’ve also made a host of OC’s for The Lighthouse Keeper, like Iris the Nautolan woman who lost a leg and half her head-tendrils in some attack during the Empire and now runs a boarding house, and Arrow the ancient navigation droid who now co-owns an Inn in Wild Space.

[warsamongthestars]

You might be wondering why I have such a fit about TBB (and still do!--its a raging coal fire that hasn't stopped since S2 finale, and just kinda, reignites. Alot. )

[ And if you're not wondering, well I'm talking to myself anyway. I'm typing into the magic box with the funny pictures made of light and there's nobody I'm actually on conversing with in my compooter room anyway. ]

[ so i might as well continue to talk to myself, like the mad media person in all the tv shows, and maybe, one of the incorporeal beings of the magic picture box gets either entertained or pissed off enough. either way, screaming into the void ]

Let's talk about story impact.

I'mma say that a story has a beginning, middle and end. It has talking things called characters, and a general story structure called plot. the fiction it exists in called a fictional world building. the beats it writes to called pacing, and its quickening or slowing often matches the scene it wants (like a heart beat).

THat's the sum story.

What the fuck am I on about again with TBB.

Well, imagine that you have the Story sum above, and there's multiple now. Like, hundreds to thousands, all running on a specific world build, sharing the character of the story, as well as the story of the characters. Created all over the course of decades.

Repetition with positive results is going to have favorable impact. Effort given into a creative work is going to be recognized, even if you don't really like the work.

That's the sum logic.

So what the fuck am I on about again with TBB.

Well, let's take an actual example so that I'm not off topic.

Darth Vader is a very significant character to Star Wars. Star Wars is the story and series of stories that have had decades of work. Its a Space Western Opera (because Sci-Fi generally requires actual thought based Sciences attached--thus the magic in space bits aren't Sci-Fi; you're free to add that thoughtfulness though ).

And Darth Vader was one of the characters repeatedly used, and given significance due to in-story reactions and in-story information, as well as unique costuming, and taking 3 actors to do.

Mixing that with consistent character writing that develops as we learn of the character, and whom we additionally watch develop as the story around him changes; with dashes of world-building used also consistently, mixed with high end emotional-cues by the Music performed...

Creates a character that is very important to the series. Enough so, that to see him, is to immediately think "Star Wars".

And Star Wars is culturally historical. More so than the things it was based off of (and potentially ripped from), such as Dune, Valerian, and Metropolis--the only thing that survived that ripping was the Fist Full of Dollars Trilogy.

And its had Decades. As in, your Grand'rents intimately know Star Wars too. Its painted unironically on things, instead of being made fun of for being a Dune Rip Off but with DnD Magic.

But gods damn it, what does this have to do with THE BAD BATCH?

Well have you ever heard of a Fanfic OC?

You know the ones. The super special awesome totally original donut steel characters that a fan writer of a series will make up, in order to either experience the world or save the day or something.

( I know its more complicated than that, I'll get there )

The point is, is that a character in a well known series that spans decades, requires build up so that even the most stubborn of the audience accepts it.

A series that's big enough and large enough and expansive enough, requires itself to turn its characters into mini stories themselves. Because a big world is complicated, and gets complicated as it grows.

Example-- Ahsoka Tano required 3 years before she became intimately accepted as Anakin Motherfucking Skywalker's apprentice.

Because that kind of position is the donut-steel OC position. She wasn't in the films thus she didn't have an impact on Vader.

( I would even make the argument that Prequel Anakin still doesn't make that huge of an impact on Star Wars Vader. )

( Much the prequels ran into the same "donut steel" argument. )

A different example-- Captain Rex.

Captain Rex did not run into the same issues. Why? Because he slotted with a known position that was needed to complete the Clone Wars parts of the Prequel Sagas. After all, there was Commander Cody for Obi-Wan, there was Commander Bly for Aayla, and so on.

Captain Rex had the backing of the concept of the Clone Wars behind him, which does include from the Original Trilogy, as that's where the concept came from first.

As a character, he had to be a little nuts in order to keep up with Anakin, and a little on the hard order side, in order to live up additionally to Vader.

There was years of build up, and he was expected.

[ Its almost as if you have to know your audience and the history behind a story, to make impact--and that if you're coming in out of the blue, you need more prep and build up, in order to have the same amount of impact ]

[ And once that impact is given, we can flow with the story, and even retroactively enjoy the parts it took to make impact. ]

[ Adopt a new story teller's telling, into a story told by someone else, to make a better story ]

BUT WHAT ABOUT--

Ah ah ah, Don't worry. Build up and Impact, remember?

So, what is exactly my issue with the TBB series.

Its that these mother fuckers had 4 episodes in less than 1 month before their series.

The Bad Batch series is a series of high impact with low reaction. Good music, good animation, set in a known world--but the characters themselves do not have the build up to have impact on anything.

The series itself should have been giving them that build up, and instead, it actually stripped them on impact they initially had.

On a character sheet, the Bad Batch as characters are good. I give them positive review as a "let's go hog wild on the clone concept" They are the limit you can push the star wars clone wars concept before you have to pull back and say "You just wanted you add your fanfic into Star Wars, didn't you?"

( Just as the Prequels made Anakin out to be the limit of the Jedi, rather than just OG Vader's "I turned evil fuck you". )

A long adventure to learn about these characters, just as we learned about Ahsoka and by extension, Rex, would've been required to allow the build up to have the impact that they were clearly introduced to have.

Cos they have a strong introduction... through the eyes of someone else.

We have a series that put them through strafes, when we really didn't know anything about the characters. Even in their TCWs Arc, there wasn't enough about them from their POV that we could summarize a character that would last a series like theirs.

You can't tell me there's a character arc or achetype that TBB didn't invent in order to impose upon characters that do little and aren't allowed to grow from it--or was taken as a side-character role in name any Star Trek episode.

The TBB's high impact story is the going from the Prequel Saga into THe Original Trilogy, from the point of view of the Clone Wars. Its a singificant connecting element of watching the Republic become the Empire. The "Dark Times" as Obiwan "Ben" Kenobi put it, in 1977's Star Wars.

The BBs themselves only had 4 episodes, and they were already pushing disbelief, as they were the limit of the Clone Wars "Clone" Concept, stretched to the last possible point (Cos anywhere beyond that, and we'd be getting into Super Hero territory), and introduced in the Final Season--so all impact they could've had, was already gone from the start because there was no time.

The only way that the current TBB series would've impacted as its era demands, after decades of Star Wars, would be to give it to either Commander Cody (Who was in the Films) or Captain Rex, who was the main Clone of the Clone Wars.

And the only way that the the Bad Batch as characters, could've possibly survived that high impact, is if they had those years behind them--and they don't, they had less than 1 month.

So the Bad Batch as Characters require their own series that lacks high plot impact, in order to survive as characters...

And the Bad Batch show, as a High IMpact Show, requires actual impactul characters to run.

... Do you see the issue now? Or at least one of them?

( I would have gladly accepted a slow paced Bad Batch show that allowed the Bad Batch characters growth, that's what I wanted out of them--I wanted to get to know them. )

( But the current TBB show does not allow that. Story writers can say all the shit they want, but let me remind, if it was important--it'd be in the story itself, it'd be apart of the build up and impact. )

( And there is no impact, and no build up. If I were to put Hunter right next to Vader, he would mean fuck all. )

( And that's one reason I'm so fucking mad about all this. )

Get To Know Me Tag Game

Tagged by @blackwood4stucky - Aspen, thank you for the tag, but I am breaking all the rules and changing most of the some questions to really get to know me (and hopefully you)! Pretend I tagged you at the bottom, too, cause it won't let me tag you twice!

1. How did you get your nickname (or url)?

I don't really have a nickname, but my url is the first long term OC I used to RP back in the day. I see a lot of hate for RPing OCs these days, but when the internet still screamed at you before you could logon, almost everyone RPed OCs--in fact it was looked down on to RP an existing character or an OC that was related to an existing character. Gyoku Jynnae was a Star Trek OC, but I also RPed Star Wars, D&D, and a few others in AOL chat rooms, forums/message boards, and email. I keep the name in case I ever run into anyone from that time in my life because some of those people helped keep me alive and I'll never forget it.

2. What's the last thing that made you cry?

Therapy yesterday. I'm trying to be less allergic to feelings. Go me.

3. What's your latest guilty pleasure?

I generally don't feel guilty about the things that bring me pleasure, lol, but I'm a little embarrassed that I realized my Stucky playlist on Spotify has long since exceeded 200 songs (sitting pretty close to 230 rn) so I created, I shit you not, a spreadsheet to help me most effectively split it into more specific lists for various timeframes or feelings and I am really enjoying listening to all the songs and organizing it.

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

I never did organized sports, but I did regularly get dropped in the wilderness with a map and a compass for "fun" when I was in high school--does that count?

5. What are your pet peeves?

I hate the sound of chewing/lip smacking/swallowing. I probably have misophonia because it makes me want to vault the table and punch someone.

6. What is the first thing you notice about people?

Hair and hands, usually. Eye contact is not my forte, so I am way more likely to remember someone by their shoes or something than by their face.

7. What is your eye color?

Hazel. I have a ring of brown around my pupil, then a ring of green outside of that like some kind of ridiculous YA novel.

8. What super specific trope or genre is your kryptonite?

Not sure how super specific this is, but I love psychological horror and body horror. I love the kinds of stories and movies where I walk away thinking I'm moving on with my life and then days later, something happens and my heart is pounding and I'm thinking about it again. I love horror that lives under your skin and in the back of your mind until it grips you out of nowhere.

9. What is your superpower?

I am very observant of details, which might be a superpower, but it usually feels like my villain origin story. It makes me good at reading people, but terrible at finishing projects because all I see are the faults and I get overwhelmed and it never gets finished.

10. Which fictional world would you be happy to call home?

You remember that late-aughts Bruce Willis movie where everyone plugs into an interface that lets them leave their bodies at home and navigate the world in an idealized, customizable body with no pain? Yeah, me, neither. I don't think about being able to have a pain-free body that reflects my personal image of myself everyday. Not at all.

11. What are your hobbies?

Reading, creating art, and video games. Between kids and COVID, my other hobby, tabletop RPG, is on a long term hiatus.

12. Do you have any pets?

We've recently lost a dog and a cat, so we're down to 1 cat and about 27,000 fish (not really, but we do have 8 running fish tanks, 3 of which are each over 50 gallons, so, like, there's a lot of fish).

13. What is your biggest toxic trait?

Oh, man, when I am in a relationship with someone, I want to be the center of their fucking universe. Which is weird because I am not monogamous and I am my wife's number one wing man, but it's not about jealousy. I want to know that I can trust my partner to have my back. That they're thinking about me. That they want me. I want to be wanted desperately. I will and have broken up with partners who weren't bad people or a bad match for me, they just weren't as mad about me as I wanted them to be. I feel like a narcissist typing this out, but it's the truth.

14. Is there anything you're afraid you won't accomplish?

I don't know that this is really an accomplishment, but I always wanted to have lots of kids and I always wanted to foster and adopt some of my kids. I knew kids growing up that needed safe homes and never got them (I probably was one, but I was afraid to get into the system, so I just kept my head down and dealt with it) and I always wanted to be the safe place I never had. But, it's expensive. Not the kids--I know kids are expensive (I already have 2). I don't understand why fostering and adopting is so expensive.

15. What's number one on your bucket list?

I want to go back to school to become a teacher, but I'm really finding it daunting right now.

Tags: I'm just tagging a dozen recentish mutuals that I don't know so well, yet... no pressure, but I'd love to get to know you better! @winterscrump @basnatural @eloquentreverie @vellicore @milarca @the-kestrels-feather @iceandironbars @sarahowritesostucky @natashadied4oursins @thepiper0fhameln @hypnxrchy @shurisbedroom If I didn't tag you, but you want to play, please feel free to jump in and tag me anyway!

My Brain: Don't post your Oc with the story you made up in like 5 minutes. You will not be satisfied with it later on and change it again anyway.

Me: Nah, I'm gonna post it like that. I'm happy how this turned out!

Brain: Yeah now, give it a few weeks and you'll won't be happy anymore because you throw away all your plans and ideas over a dream you had.

Me: Nah, this won't happen... Oh and I'm going to do an rp account with this Oc. This will be fun.

Brain: Hell no! Don't do this! You will regret it! I tell you, you really are going to regret this!

Me: Nah, I won't *posts everything about Calico and makes an rp account*

-a few weeks later-

Me: Well you know actually....

Brain:

Guess my brain was right and I shouldn't have posted my Oc Calico before I wasn't completely sure about everything. At first I thought it wouldn't bother me that much but now it kinda does because I changed a lot of her just because of a cute dream I had. At first Calico was supposed to be an unmodified but enhanced clone named Delta. Then like I said before I had this really cute and adorable dream of the Wolfpack with a baby that was Wolffe's kid and I was like HFSAJAJSJAHSA I need to do this. Which ment I couldn't make Calico an unaltered clone anymore if she should be Wolffe's daughter and she needed a mother. So I created Cat. A character that exist solely for the reason so that Calico could somehow be born but I don't really have any idea what else to do with her.

And now I'm sitting here figuring out how I can put all my ideas in Calicos story. Because I still somehow like the idea of her being Wolffe's kid but I also really want her to be a clone so yeah easy clone child that got adopted. But how?

I have so many ideas regarding Calico but if I try to put everything in her story the story would have way to many errors like how could Wolffe raise her since she was a baby when there is no logical way for him to get her as a baby because in the time she was a baby Wolffe was still on Kamino. But if Calico was created by the kaminoans later on I would have to give her accelerated aging so she can be old enough for everything else because I don't want her to be a baby while the clone wars. But then she wouldn't be an unaltered clone anymore.

No matter how I do it nothing makes sense and actually I should be annoyed right now.... but I can't stop laughing about myself because yeah I somehow knew this would happen and I warned myself.... but I didn't belive myself. And now I think about it so much, even though it's actually completely unnecessary. It's not like everything in the canon story of Star Wars makes complete sense... (I'm looking at you Maul, Sidious and Ray). So why the hell am I trying so hard that everything makes sense? It's not like anyone will read it or be bothered by it anyway 😂

And regarding my RP account... well actually nothing makes much sense there too and in the end Calico stays the pup of the wolfpack.

For Lawrie! 👁️💢🍧💐🌙🌌🎀💧🌠

these are So fun tysm 🤗💖

💢 ANGER - what are some habits they have that will take some getting used to?

lots of old superstitions that he learned from sidney growing up, most of them horse based: never leave put your hat on the bed, don't change a horse's name, hang a horseshoe in your home, wearing yellow is bad luck, don't compete with change in your pocket because that's all you'll win, knots in a horse's mane means they've been visited by the fey, brass protects from witches

🍧 SHAVED ICE - do they still have any objects from their childhood? what significance does it have to them? what would their reaction be if they lost it?

does his horse count? pepper was the first horse he raised himself, and goes with him everywhere. he also has a locked music box that he's been trying to figure out how to open his entire life; it's the only thing he had with him when he was left on his parent's porch.

💐 BOUQUET - create a bouqet for them! what do those flowers mean? are any of the flowers their particular favourite?

valerian (star shaped flowers, strength, health), forget-me-nots (for his family), oleander (desire, destiny, caution), balloon flower (star shaped, desire for a friend to return), blue star (star shaped, strength, determination)

🌙 MOON - what is your oc’s greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?

that he was gonna be sidney's adopted son :3 and that he was going to space

🎀 RIBBON - how would they fit into other worlds / aus? what aus would you like to try out? what fictional world would they fit / not fit into?

he's RIPE for aus.. star wars au is the obvious go to because i've taken a lot of inspo from it for him, but i'd also be very interested in seeing him in a pirate au bc. thats just where i'm at right now.

💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon

he keeps one of rex's feathers tied to his holy symbol, despite the fact that it makes his heart clench every time he sees or feels it

🌠 SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?

to know who left him with his parents- and to have the sacrifices he's made to find that out Mean Something

Now I’m curious. What are your current hyperfixations if you don’t mind sharing? If not totally ok!!

OHHHH boy so right now, I have them compartmentalized into various categories and its so fun to talk about.

> my gratitude journal and penny savings. i am doing this challenge to sort of wake up my brain and write down some positive stuff and its so fun and actually addicting. ALSO doing a penny challenge that started up on January first where you put a penny in your savings/piggy bank jar each day. So for example: Jan 1st (1 penny) January 2nd (add 2 pennies), January 3rd (add 3 pennies), etc, etc and at the end of the year you will have saved up $667.95. Its not much, but its fun and I can get myself a lil something nice on new years next year. I like me some goals and I am hoping the stamina isn't only because its a new year

> January no spend challenge. I am single, make a decent amount of money a month, and don't NEED to do this. But I have cut all spending out for the month minus groceries and any emergency expenses. I am biking to work when I need to actually go in, and I have been doing fun things at home and have a few "nights in" planned with friends in the next two weeks and for the first time in awhile I am actually excited for social interaction because lets be honest, going out is exhausting.

> The color Iris. Its so beautiful and pleasing to my eyes right now

>MEAL PREP CONTAINERS AND MEAL PREPPING. I have a bunch of new reusable ziploc bags, these nifty hook things that hold the bags, lunch containers, and recipe books and honestly love just having the challenge of making things for the week in one afternoon session

>Various obscure animes. Currently its Yu Yu Hakusho, The GetBackers, Beyblade, and Naruto. Its been a whirlwind of old anime and I might be able to get out of it soon but very doubtful because I have been pumping out OCs and stories for it in my docs that I can't get over

>The history of Monopoly pieces

>Crafting, specifically centerpiece making. I made an amazing one for the Fall and want to make one for winter and spring now that the holidays are over.

> Criminal minds. I finally decided to watch it and I am binging it so hard. S8 E12 right now and thats not looking to stop anytime soon.

> Vacation planning. This is the furthest west I have ever lived as an adult, and I am planning on taking multiple single person trips over the next 4 years. i am an avid backpacker/hiker and my dad and I want to do a few big ones. Not to mention a few self indulgent trips to places because I honestly deserve that. My pinterest boards are full of ideas and tips

>Cleaning and organizing. I have been watching too much Marie Kondo and as I unpack I have been donating clothes, household items, and other things I just didn't need anymore.

> Furniture building. I am pretty good with my hands and built a shelf recently and now I am looking at blueprints for a custom laundry basket holder I desperately need.

>Star Wars, a given.

>Listening to various police scanners as background noise. There was a guy riding a bicycle naked down a street in my grandpas hometown recently and that just made my day

>Welsh on Duolingo. I have done so much with it in the last week alone >The Same 3 songs on repeat: Du Hast by Rammstein , Leila by Jah Khalib, and Popular from Wicked

> Create an app like "sick weather" but it pulls and partners with doctors offices, schools, and local agencies to map out "symptom sicknesses" and not just like flu and covid and stuff. >Shoes. My god I fucking love shoes right now. Cleaning them, wearing them, organizing them. Help.

>Making furniture out of broken hocket sticks and deciding what to make. I have literally 26 broken sticks in my garage and I need to do something with them. I have gone back and forth for days and currently trying to decide if I want to make a bench or beach chair. that went to me digging deeper into the weight capacity of a chair and the flex of each hockey stick and a bunch of physics and engineering equations.

> U-2 planes. I work with these now and they are so funky. I dive head deep into articles and essays and reports

> Making lists. I have a list for everything right now

>Labeling stuff. I have been throuwing a label on everything in sight and at this point its just instinct

> Fancy beer cans. I have a mini fridge, a bottom fridge shelf, and a whole counter top full of different beer cans right now and I want one from each four pack to add to my empty can collection because I love the art.
