MÁTYÁS KIRÁLY MENTION 🫵🇭🇺🕊️

[szollibisz]

A lot of people seemed very interested in the Spies Are Forever formal/informal pronouns essay, so I’m here to provide

First of all, disclaimer: There are many languages that differentiate between formal and informal pronouns, some are more strict about them, some less. I’m specifically writing this with a Hungarian perspective. But since the usage of formal pronouns change a lot over times, and as you may have guessed I wasn’t alive during the 50s, there may be some inaccuracies.

The gist of it is: it wasn’t considered cold to refer to someone in your personal life formally, unlike nowadays (although there are exceptions), and in purely professional relationships it was mostly unheard of to refer to someone informally.

I’ll be splitting these into sections based on specific character relationships for the more important ones.

Curt and Owen

I already talked a bit about this one, but my general idea for them is to obviously use informal pronouns with each other, but only in private. When other people are around, they’re colleagues, spy partners, workplace friends as best, and to stay safe and put further distinction between the two worlds they’re forced to live in, they use formal pronouns.

Now there’s no good scene in the musical to showcase what I mean exactly, because they only talk to each other with other people around twice. Once when Owen alerting Curt in the intro, while Cynthia is listening (this is quite a heat of the moment situation, so I think Owen might forget, but then again, he’s more calculating one, so he might use it in that one singular instance) The other time is Owen’s monologue, at which point I don’t think either of them would care, they are literally having a public divorce.

Some pre-canon headcanons to showcase the gay/closeted/repressed metaphor better:

- when they first meet the very much dislike each other, so for a long while formal it is. - Owen switches to informal when really angry, because he stops pretending he has extra respect for people after they massively fuck something up. - Curt is the one to initiate referring to each other informally, but at that point they’re really good friends, so Owen reciprocates without question (he’s also in love by then lmao loser) (if you don’t know how initiating something like that is, it’s basically just “you know you can *call me by informal pronouns* right?” it’s almost the same as telling someone what name to call you by. But since Curt is a bitch, I think he just starts addressing Owen as informally and he just goes along with it) - On missions they’re formal with each other, until things get too scary, in which case they’re too gay to pay attention to it

The one specific scene I already broke down, was the beginning interrogation, in which Owen uses formal pronouns for Curt and Oleg up until his reveal, but Curt stays informal the whole way through showing their separate attitudes and styles towards their job. Owen is better at solutions with more planning behind them, and Curt is saying and doing things as they come.

Curt and The Deadliest Man Alive

Curt stays formal mostly out of intimidation, DMA on the other hand is very deliberately informal. Which of course you would expect from an unhinged serial killer, except Curt is the *only* person he addresses this way, which would also be foreshadowing Owen’s reveal.

Tatiana and Curt <333

(Alright, so a little more info: It was the norm to flirt with people you don’t know using formal pronouns)

When they meet for the first and second time, they both stay formal, up until the point where Tatiana saves Curt, where she starts calling him by informal pronouns. He doesn’t switch yet though, which alludes to how he still doesn’t exactly trust her. (Also gender roles were/are a thing, so a man and a woman would usually become informal later than two people of the same gender would)

In the safe house scene Curt wouldn’t know how to refer to Tatiana, and we’d see him fluctuate and be awkward, but after Prisoner of my Past, he’d fully switch to informal. This would persist for the rest of their interactions in the musical.

Curt and Barb

I’m sorry, but Barb will take an L in this one. With the way Curt acts with her, I just can’t imagine how that could work formally. On the other hand how she acts with him is definitely formal. When they get drunk in One More Shot she switches to informal though.

And as much as I want them to be friends, I think the last scene they’d go back to the original way things go, and they’d need more time after for Barb to go informal, and for Curt to go informal 2: (respectful)

Curt and Cynthia

Oh yeah this is a good one.

So, here’s the setting. You’re some spy guy and one of the most influential people in the US is not only your boss, but also your mother figure. How the fuck do you address her, and how the fuck does she address you?

Now we for sure start out with Curt formally addressing Cynthia, not even he has the nerve. But when he calls for help at the gala and she refuses, he switches to informal exactly at “I want you to do your job!” extra disrespect, extra earning getting kneed, and extra solidifying the moment he decides to quit the A.S.S. In the last scene though, when he’s calmer and more peaceful, he goes back to informal.

That’s relatively simple, but Cynthia on the other hand fluctuates more. She begins formally, then switches as soon as she starts Keep Your Eyes on the Prize. At the gala she’d stay informal, although at first she’d try to keep up appearances with formality, it just wouldn’t work because she’s angry. In the last scene she’d say her condolences informally and the rest formally.

This does sound weird and *a lot* written out, but I swear it would work and complexify their relationship so much more. Also, it’d add a lot to their characters individually. Curt who dared call Cynthia informally, when that would be genuinely unheard of for any other agent, and Cynthia who has moments where she sees Curt more as a son than an employee, and shows vulnerability by expressing it verbally, which I don’t think she’d ever do with anyone else. She has those vibes where she’d even address her own parents formally (fun fact: it was the norm for the entire 19th century, but I don’t actually know when in the 20th century that stopped)

Other Relationships

The Informant is formal with everyone, and everyone is formal with him, except for Owen during his monologue, but he addresses everyone in the room informally then.

As I said the DMA is formal with everyone, that includes Tatiana, except for the line “Don’t get involved, love” for reasons I’m completely normal about. After Owen’s reveal he’s fully informal though.

Sergio is informal with everyone :]

(DMA is informal during Somebody’s Gotta Do It, but not during their conversation)

Richard "Dick" Big is formal with everyone, yet manages to be the most disrespectful person ever <3

Bitter Cold Nights and Scarlet Cigarette Daydreams - Fic Meta and Thoughts

General notes

This fic was pretty damn personal for me. I used to struggle very hard with a horrible fear of death, and in a world where death is very temporary, I figured it’d be fun to explore those thoughts. I chose stabbing specifically because 1: it’s a slower death than getting shot, which would make room for a juicier, more character-filled scene, and also 2: I used to have a recurring nightmare of being stabbed. This lasted a very long time, and so the idea is very haunting to me at this point. It does make for a pretty brutal way to go, though. Sorry, Fade.

Paprikás csirke (chicken paprikash) is Hungarian, not Turkish. Fade knows how to make it anyway. It wasn’t picked as a reference to her being Turkish, it was picked as it’s a meal easily bulk-cooked which is extremely warm and filling! Nice and hearty. It’s the kind of food that screams “comforting family dinner” to me, and that’s the kind of vibe Fade was going for when she cooked it. She wanted to take a step that would bring people together.

That said, Neon did pick Köfte because it’s Turkish. She wanted to make Fade feel better and figured a taste of home might help, since it usually helps her if she’s struggling. The rice she made is sinangag - filipino garlic rice. She experimented to make the köfte but wasn’t adventurous enough to make any Turkish sides; it was too far out of her comfort zone and she was already nervous.

The way Neon refers to Prowler is representative of her improving relationship she has with Fade. She goes from calling them an "it" and talking about how she fears them to willingly following them to find Fade and calling them a "them". A small detail, but I like it.

-

Headcanons and such

As made clear in this fic, Fade’s mysterious man is someone I headcanon to be her brother. I’ve seen headcanons that it could be a lover, and I don’t hate that idea, but I’m more interested in queer relationships than I am most het ones, probably because of the complete over-saturation of het relationships in media. That said, I do enjoy many of Riot’s het relationships, including some Valorant ships (Jett x Phoenix, my beloveds), so I imagine it could be done very well. For now, though, I like my headcanon, and I like Fadeshock. That said, it could also be a father, cousin, uncle, friend, even an enemy she wants to kill herself rather than letting anyone else get him, lmao. I’m very interested to find out.

My personal headcanon for Fadeshock’s sexuality is Fade being bi and Neon being pan. I don’t know why, it just feels right.

Ooc:. Its time to talk about ocs and appearances!!

"Mika stop." Everyone around me pleas and cries with worry for my sanity "SYM-BOL-ISM!" I scream with a tin foil hat on my head while hitting pots and pans. Suddenly a spaceship appears with the word symbolism written on it. Stunned silence commences "Strap on motherf******." Yes my sanity is slowly slipping away. .: Croatia :. Hair:. Her natural hair is medium-dark brown. Its a very nice chocolate-y colour. Many years ago it was pure blonde due to the fact that she is a slavic country which are characterized by having light hair and eyes. And the highlights are just her way of trying to prove she is modern. Her hair represents the sea side in Croatia therefore Italy likes to touch it because historically Italians always wanted our sea side (she hates when people touch it) and its relatively dry naturally due to the fact that the sea side has dry land also thanks to Italy her hair has a wavy texture. On the other hand her eyebrows are a bit naturally darker than her hair and pretty thick with a good arch, they are darker because of turkish influence. Eyes:. The eye colour she has in a nice blueish green colour just like the sea. Her eye colour remained the same since she was a child leaving it very visible that she is a slav country. The shape of her eyes is a roundish almond with sharp edges but they are not very big. She has a lot of eyelashes but they ain't long. Skin.. Throughout history her skin was either tan or pale depending on the time period and her general role in it (royalty, soldier, commoner, etc). Her skin can tan very easily and nowadays it mostly remains in a slight tan. Her skin is full of moles (not freckles) as it is very common for people to have skin full of moles. They represent the thousands of islands that are a part of our shore. Also the tattoos you can find refs for them on the blog just scroll if you haven't seen em .: Bosnia :. Hair:. His hair is very dark brown naturally its lighter than Sadik (Turkey) but darker then Tamara. However he is chasing his old days of power because of his misery so he dyes his hair blond like it used to be when he was younger which in turn results into his hair being very damaged but the colour is very intense yellow so its obvious that its not natural. He also can't afford to re-dye it professionally very often and it usually has roots showing. The length of his hair is mid neck and often times its very messy and shaggy he will however style it on important events and meeting. He is very hairy like most men in the Balkan mostly on his chest and arms he regularly shaves his face though. Much like Tamara his eyebrows are also a bit darker then his natural hair and his don't have a good arch like hers. In the spirit of hetalia I also gave him an ahoege like Austrias but much smaller to represent Austrian influence Eyes:. Like Croatias eyes his also remained light throughout the years but his got a more grey tone to them. The reason to them being blue-grey is connected to water. Bosnia in itself means water so its obviously a very important component to the country. The shape of his eyes is more round and bigger in comparison to Tamara and they have sharp edges and he actually has very long and full eyelashes. Skin:. In terms of this he has one of the tannest skin tones in Balkan again because Turkey. Like Tamara his skin tone also varied in history but he was always darker then her by comparison. He has two very visible scars on his face across his nose and from the bottom of his jaw across his cheek almost reaching his eye. I'm not sure how related this is to skin its more like a facial feature but he has dimples that represent the two biggest ponds in Bosnia. Considering: I wanna put tattoos on him but he is a muslim and thats against their beliefs but Bosnia is not a country that 100% follows the rules of Islam and I read that some sort of tattoos are allowed like words but I am not too sure about that. .: Serbia :. Hair:. Right off the bat unlike Omer and Tamara his hair was always dark brown. There is turkish influence present in Serbia obviously but I didn't want it to be his hair like with the other two instead its more present in his face but thats not for this post. He is the hairiest of them all he has to shave every day and his chest, arms and legs are a forest (save him). His hair is cut like an undercut but he let the shaved part go longer in recent years. The small grey part of his hair was inspired a bit by the main boy in Catcher in the Rye on one side his hair is going grey partly because age and because I believe when Yugoslavia was falling apart Serbia was the most stressed by it (hair goes grey from stress too) Eyes:. The idea I had behind this is gonna be hard to explain but oh boy here I go. They look like a wolfs eyes. If you look up wolf eyes you can see they are very round and have a crease (??) on the bottom corner of the eye (the one near the nose) thats how I imagine his eyes. I also imagine him having a very predatory look in his eyes but he learned to control it in the recent years so he can look more friendly, I also believe Turkey was scared of the way his eyes looked lmao. The colour of his eyes is green but it also has a golden tint to which is common for wolf especially in the country. Skin:. I actually think he is the second palest person form Yugoslavia. This is mostly due to the fact that he wast the most royal out of all of them so he spent more time inside not being able to tan. As well as the fact that Russia had a lot of influence on him so it helped in the pale department. Nowadays I imagine him having some awkward tans especially in summer lmao. .: Montenegro :. Hair:. Definantelly has the darkest hair its pure black due to his name which literally has the word black in it c'mon. The length is very short and very messy like he just got out of bed. He also never had any changes to his hair colour. Like Serbia he is very hairy especially on his chest and legs. Thick brows and high arch to make his face look scarier/stricter. Eyes:. He has a very tired look like he never got enough sleep but he also has big eyes its just the sleep deprivedness makes them look smaller. *The colour of them is light blue because of the sea. * I might change the specific shade of it because I'm gonna see the sea of Montenegro myself in a few days so ye Skin:. He is probably the tannest one due to how his warrior behaviour always made him stay outside. Like Tamara he also has lots of moles/sun spots but much much less than her. One very visible scar on his cheek. .: Macedonia :. Hair:. From ancient Greek/Macedonian influence she has curly hair and she is the only person with properly curly hair in Yugoslavia. She also has cute bangs. The colour of her hair is reddish-brown due to the wine they have there and in recent years she also got a small purple ombre at the ends of her hair (because its the colour of grapes and I am in love with a certain idols hair). She also has thick eyebrows but no arch. Also always has poppy flowers in her hair that she will style differently but will always have a minimum of 6 flowers in her hair. Eyes:. Her eyes are brown because everyone gives Mace blue or green eyes and I don't feel like jumping on a bandwagon. No seriously I have no reason (yet!) for her brown eyes other than its the most usual eye colour. Her eye shape is round and small and her eyelashes are big and curly to emphasize the fact that she is the youngest lmao. Skin:. Her skin is tanned due to Greek and Turkish influence and she has all the standards the others had .: Slovenia :. Hair:. Like the outcast he is (and wants to be) he has dirty blonde/light brown hair its also a bit wavy like Tamaras but he styles it unlike the rest of the boys on a daily basis. The length reaches the bottom of his neck almost. And like Bosnia he has an ahoege to represent Austrian influence but his makes him angry cuz he can't style it no matter what. He is the only one that remained blondeish throughout their years of influences. Also the only one with thinner eyebrows but a mean arch cuz Croatia. The least hairy one but its unknown if he just naturally doesn't grows a lot of hair or he removes it Eyes:. He has sharp strict looking eyes that are almond shaped. He enjoys wearing glasses but he doesn't really need them. The colour of his eyes are honey because of the honey production there. Skin:. The actual palest guy thanks to Austria and also has trouble tanning unlike the rest. I didn't mention scars a lot in this post but he has the least amount because he mostly stayed in the house even in Austro-Hungarian times. Has one beauty mark under his eye.

[moralityblurred]

Verse: kind of an original, non-specific magical verse, can tie in with Marvel, Supernatural-themed fandoms & the Rick Riordan series Date: started 02/23/2018; finished 03/04/2018 Full Name: Dalton Howze Jaynes Pronunciation: doll-tun howz jayns Nickname/Alias: Dalt, D Meaning: Dalton = “valley town”, Howze = named after a famous General Origin: Dalton is just a name I really like and fit his concept, and Howze I came up with after figuring out he was from a military family & I looked up some famous Generals Title: none Pet Name: Whiz Kid, Nerd, Army Brat ID Number: uhhh none really. I guess his employee #? 539842 there. made up on the spot. Signature: kinda messy & illegible ( below is a close-ish match, but his is even more of a chicken scratch )

Gender: Cismale Gender Role: He’s pretty masculine, but also rather on the quiet side & can exhibit feminine characteristics. Orientation: Gay gay gay Real Age: 26 Age Appearance: When he doesn’t shave, he can look up to 10 years older than he actually is. Birthday: Jan 29, 1992 Deathday: unknown Birthplace: Stuttgart, Germany Astrological Sign: Aquarius Zodiac Sign: Sheep Immediate Family: Perry, father, died when Dalton was 9 & Ruth, mother; sisters Elizabeth, 20, and Mary Alyx ( goes by Alyx ), 6 Distant Family: step-father Jack, isn’t really in contact with his grandparents on either side, particularly his dad’s side since they kinda ostracized him Parenting: Dalton’s mother was the strict one and instilled a strong sense of discipline in him. Perry was the artsy, kind of head-in-the-clouds one and he helped Dalton develop his own sense of identity. Upbringing: Self-discipline was very important, and the concept of hard work. Authority was strongly enforced and respecting that authority. He was given room to question it on a limited basis, but to also understand that there were time you need to follow orders and trust that your best interest is in mind. While Ruth was very dedicated to her military service and would have liked to see Dalton serve, it wasn’t something that Dalton felt forced into. Infancy: Ruth returned to service a month after he was born, so he largely bonded with his dad. But she wasn’t deployed at the time so she did still get to see him as a baby and care for him. He was walking and talking early on in life, and mostly ahead or on track with developmental milestones. Childhood: Dalton was an only child until he was 6, but he wasn’t spoiled. The spoiled one of the family would probably be Elizabeth since she was the youngest and the only girl for a long time. That being said, Dalton was the only one who really got to spend time with his dad since he passed away when he was 9. After his dad’s death he went from being a fairly outgoing and talkative child to quieter and more withdrawn. He didn’t connect with his mother super well since she was far more rigid and no-nonsense and he was always drawn to books and technology. Adolescence: As with much of his childhood, Dalton spend time in several different schools in several countries. He picked up little bits & pieces of language and culture from each and it taught him to be more respectful and tolerant. He could sometimes still be a moody teenager, secluding himself in his room to listen to music and chat online with friends he’d moved away from or friends across the world that he’d never met in person. He took an early interest in supernatural and the occult, which often ostracized him in school, but he took a certain pride in being “weird”. Adulthood: Dalton was accepted to a college in Boston and moved off the military base his mom was stationed at to attend school. He got a part time job at the campus bookstore & saved up to buy a car so he could visit nearby Salem for his own curiosity. Admittedly, it wasn’t quite what he expected, but it did inspire him to keep researching witchcraft and the history of such. Coming of Age: Dalton probably “grew up” when he decided to quit school despite his mother’s protests. It just wasn’t necessary for him to keep shelling out money when he could ( and DID ) acquire a job he wanted without a full degree. He was happy at the company he worked for and the practical & on-hands job training was far more of interest to him than a formal education. Evolution: Dalton has always been more or less confident in himself, but with his dad’s death, he had to become more so. He also had to become more independent and decide whether to follow blindly in his mom’s footsteps or seek out something he was passionate about. Species: Human Ethnicity: Caucasian, with English, Hungarian, and Romanian ancestries being the most traceable Blood Type: O neg Preferred Hand: Right handed, with some limited ambidexterity Facial Type: it’s kind of a heart-oval blend? if that’s possible? i always sucked at face shapes Eye Color: Hazel ( a caramel brown with green flecks ) Hair Color: Dark mousy brown Hairstyle: Typically short on the sides with unruly curls on top Skin Tone: Pale & peachy mostly, with the faintest tinge of olive Complexion: Clear, but prone to oily spots & breakouts around his chin ( also from frequently resting his chin in his hands while on the computer & idly picking at his beard ) Makeup: nah, but he can be convinced to wear eyeliner Body Type: thin & toned, straddles between ectomorph & mesomorph Build: some muscle definition all over, mostly in upper torso Height: 5′11″ Weight: ~140lbs Cup Size: n/a Facial Hair: usually a scruffy/sparse goatee & soul patch, but sometimes he lets it grow into a more prominent beard Shoe Size: 9 Birthmarks/scars: a few small scars from cooking accidents & being a boy, but nothing major. he’s never broken a bone. Distinguishing Features: prob just his floofy hair and his upright posture, until he sits in front of a computer, then he loses all sense of posture lmao Health: He’s generally healthy, but does get colds pretty easily. It’s rarely serious enough for him to call into work. Energy: Dalton operates on a moderately low energy level, particularly if he’s been up late the previous night. He tends to remedy this with coffee & energy drinks. Memory: He’s got a good memory for things he’s engaged in and actively cares about, but can be forgetful with minor details like names of people he’s just met or place names. Languages stick pretty good in his head, too, but if he doesn’t use them regularly enough he loses them. Senses: Dalton has a weirdly keen sense of smell. His eyesight is getting worse and he’ll probably need glasses before too long to continue working on computers. Allergies: Coconut, plus some minor seasonal allergies he can treat with OTC meds Handicaps: none Medication: just over the counter stuff Phobias: Hospitals freak him out after his dad. Addictions: Caffeine, more towards energy drinks & hot tea, then coffee, but soda isn’t super common for him to drink Mental Disorders: nothing really Style: somewhere in the grungy-hipster vibe Mode of Dress: Very casual, shirts untucked unless it’s actually a formal event Grooming: Most of the time his grooming & hygiene is good, but on his weekends off he can get into slob mode. Posture: He walks with very straight posture, shoulders back, head up, and usually sits with good posture unless he’s gaming or getting deep into some computer project, then he turns into Slouchy McSloucher. Gait: He’s got a confident & smooth gait, on the masculine edge without being too swagger-y. Coordination: He’s got pretty decent coordination and played some sports here and there during school. He has a gym membership that he does use, if not always regularly. Habits and Mannerisms: He picks at his facial hair while thinking and twiddles pens when he’s feeling relaxed enough. When he’s being completely still it’s usually because he’s trying to be on his best behavior. Scent: He’s got a bit of that man funk, but also sometimes dust and electricity from working on computers. Coffee, energy drinks, also his sandalwood body soap. Mood: He’s usually pretty neutral and relaxed, but this can also come from being sleepy due to lack of proper sleep. Attitude: Politeness was instilled in him at a young age, so he typically “Yes, Sir/Ma’am” and “please” and “thank you”, but he’s usually positive in his interactions with others in general. Stability: Super stable, honestly. To the point sometimes where people have been like ‘How are you so chill, dude?’ Expressiveness: He stays on the quiet side and isn’t super expressive, but he’s not a robot either. When Happy: smiles a lot, hums and taps his fingers to a beat on a desk or on his thigh When Depressed: sleeps & binges on junk food When Angry: pulls out the really violent video games tbh or shoves his headphones in & cranks up the angry music Note: These are generalizations. Different situations will create different reactions. Current Residence: a small apartment in Boston in desperate need of a paint job & updated appliances, but it functions, even if he needs like 10 blankets in the winter. Community: People in Boston can be kinda rude tbh but they also stick to themselves, which is kinda how he prefers it. Family: Elizabeth, his oldest sister, is studying in Scotland, and his mom & step-dad live on base on the other side of the country at the moment with his young sister, Mary Alyx Friends: Surprisingly Dalton doesn’t really have any friends at work, so he has friends he keeps in touch with online. His closest “friend” in Boston is the guy at the bookstore he frequents. Enemies: He...doesn’t despise anyone? Maybe harbors some resentment for his dad’s doctor though. Bosses: The main dude at the company he works for is kind of an ass, but he’s nice enough to Dalton, just demanding when tech problems spring up. He’s also a perv tbh, so Dalton really doesn’t care for him. Thankfully they don’t have much interaction. Followers: Dalton’s pretty much his own guy. He doesn’t have subordinates at work, though there’s one other guy who works in the tech department. Heroes: Honestly, even though they didn’t always see eye-to-eye, his mom is his hero. She helps save lives, piloting Army rescue helicopters so. yeah. Also his dad, which will only increase as he learns about his heritage ( though there’s gonna be some resentment that Perry never told him about his side of the family & their abilities. ) Rivals: no one, really Relates to: He related to his dad more than his mom, having more of his creativity and sensitivity than his mom’s toughness and structure. Pets/Familiars: Dalton has a cat he adopted from the shelter that he named Chernobog. Unbeknownst to him, Chernobog is actually a familiar and influenced his choice to pick him. Chernobog is a black smoke tabby. Wardrobe: His closet is comprised of a lot of hoodies and jeans. He does own some heavy jackets because Boston winters can be brutal, and some odds and ends left over from when he was younger and living in other places. Equipment: his cell phone & his laptop are essential Accessories: He often wears a leather bracelet with a moon charm that used to belong to his dad. The charm was actually crafted over 100 years ago and imbued with a small bit of protection magic. Trinkets: see above Funds: eh, Dalton’s not rich by any means, but he makes about $15/hr so it could be a lot worse. Home: His apartment is a little run down and pretty small. The building itself is old, so there are some drafty windows and the big heaters can make some banging sounds that’ll freak you out if you’re not prepared for them. It’s sparsely decorated, with a cheap couch he picked up off a Facebook posting and none of it matching. Neighborhood: It’s kinda busy and noisy around his apartment, but there’s a bookstore within a couple blocks and a coffee shop not far from work so he can’t complain too much. Transportation: Dalton mostly utilizes public transport or he walks. He’s never really had the need or opportunity to learn how to drive. Sometimes he thinks about getting a moped for the convenience, but then he’s gotta pay for gas and insurance too. License Plate Number: n/a Collections: He has a collection of books, I guess. Mostly they’re on witchcraft or supernatural creatures, sometimes myths & legends from other countries. Most valuable possession: Definitely his laptop. It’s not top of the line, but it’s nothing to sneer at. He needs it to perform well for work ( & he does do some gaming, too ) so he’s got it maxed out on RAM, too. Prized Possession: an anthology of Hungarian folk tales gifted to him by his father Lovers: He’s had a few boyfriends here and there, but nothing currently. Marital Status: Single Sex Life: Not a virgin, but he’s pretty inexperienced ok. Right now it’s just him & his hand, but he’s not a very frequent masterbator. Type: idk...maybe Agapic Storge ?? Turn-Ons: Confidence, intense personalities, adventurousness Turn Offs: Extremely needy people, Poor hygiene Position: Usually sub Plays: Bondage, sensory deprivation, edgeplay, a bit of a humiliation/degradation kink, just the Dom/sub dynamic in general particularly where it comes to following orders, Sounding Fetishes: Uh I guess a fetish for feeling like he’s gonna be pushed too far?? idek if that’s a thing Virginity: He’s rather inexperienced. Most of the kinks listed above he’s only read about and some he doesn’t even know he’s into yet. Element: Air Occupation: Tech Support Agent Work Ethic: He’s been taught by his mother to always work hard. That’s generally the case, though everyone slacks here and there. He’s more likely to stay late to make sure a problem is solved than to leave it to the next day. Rank: His department is specialized and rather small since it’s a local business, so he’s important but not like a manager or anything. Income: roughly $15/hr Wealth Status: he’s still ‘working-class’ but considering he makes twice the minimum wage, he’s solid enough. Experience: He had a job at the campus bookstore, but that’s about it. Organizations/Affiliations: he’s...not really affiliated with anyone & he doesn’t belong to any organizations. IQ: above average, but still far below genius level Education: The most notable thing about his education is the multicultural nature of it. He’s studied in so many different places so he’s had many different sources of info. School: he didn’t really have just one to nail down Grade: Bs mostly, with some As and the rare C Special Education: He did well in school, but nothing super special. Social Stereotype: Nerd tbh Degrees: still a year shy of earning his degree in Computer Engineering Intelligence: prob a mix of Kinesthetic & Logical Extracurricular Activities: He belonged to a Computer Club briefly before he moved. Religion: vaguely agnostic? Morals: Harming others, harming animals for sure, those are bad things. He can tolerate white lies, but generally honesty is good even if he’s not always 100% honest either. ( Who is? ) Crime Record: he’s got a clean record Motivation: Self-discovery, probably, and seeking the stability he lacked growing up Priorities: Right now he’s not prioritizing things too well. He goes to work when he’s scheduled, so that’s got some priority, but housework isn’t high on his list so his apartment is usually pretty dirty. Philosophy: He’s really go with the flow. Political Party: Prob just on the edge of the Republican party, leaning more Conservative than Liberal? Etiquette: He’s got very good manners, but it’s not like he’s been to any fancy etiquette school. Culture: Nothing that’s particularly noticeable as far as identifying certain behaviors from one culture or another. But things may come up in RP as little tidbits and remnants from his time spent abroad. Influences: There’s still quite a bit of influence from his mother even if she lives quite a ways away. He wants to do her proud and he knows he’s not quite accomplishing that. Sometimes he wonders if his father wanted him to do more, too. As his powers develop, his familiar, Chernobog, will be a significant influence, helping to guide him through the dream world and show him how to answer questions he may have. Relates to: Dalton relates well with others who either were in the military themselves or had family members who were since he can commiserate with the bad & the good. Traditions: Dalton’s family usually celebrated Christmas, or tried to, but it was harder after Perry died because it was such a significant holiday to him. As a general rule Dalton gets a little moody around Thanksgiving & Christmas and hates the over-commercialization of it and how greedy it’s made people. He’d give up anything to have a Christmas with his dad again, even fifteen years after he’s died. Superstitions: Definitely throws salt over his shoulder if he spills any and he avoids walking under ladders.  Main Goal: Discovering the source of his strange dreams & the strange occurrences, then harnessing the magic at their root. Minor Goals/Ambitions: Tracing his father’s lineage to learn more about his magic, finding more people like him with unusual abilities, finding love tbh Career: He’s actually happy where he’s at, but maybe coding his own systems & games eventually. Desires: His father to be alive, to feel closer to his family Wishlist: The newest tech, Junk food if that counts lol, various trinkets, books. always more books., a boyfriend tbh Accomplishments: He got a pretty great job considering he never finished his degree Greatest Achievement: He doesn’t feel like he has a big achievement other than getting his current job. Graduating high school, maybe. Going to college, even if he didn’t finish. Maybe eventually he’ll go back and be able to say he got his degree. Biggest Failure: Probably dropping out of college Secrets: Uh, his degradation kink tbh, and it’s pretty embarrassing for him to realize. Regrets: He doesn’t necessarily regret dropping out because it was the right thing for him at the time, but he regrets disappointing his mom. Worries: Making his bills, of course, but also if he’s doing enough to please his mother & honor his father’s memory Best Dream: Honestly, seeing his father again. And dreamwalking with him, learning about their whole family history of magic. Worst Nightmare: One time he dreamed about his mother’s funeral. He didn’t sleep for two days after. Best Memories: Winning a stuffed animal for his sister at the carnival, even though she ended up giving it to him. He still has it & it stays on his bed. Worst Memories: watching his dad get weaker & weaker in the hospital & eventually dying Hobbies/Interests: Computer gaming, playing pool Skills/Talents: He’s gifted with HTML & CSS coding and does some website design as a hobby. He’s also pretty great at identifying computer problems, that’s actually related to his magic. Likes: Vietnamese food, books on the supernatural/occult, learning about other cultures, cold pizza, snow, the historical Boston brownstones, food stands/trucks Dislikes: tbh he’s not crazy about cooking, really hot days, high humidity, pullover sweaters ( zipper hoodies are where it’s at ), Red Hot candies Sense of Humor: he’s got a bit of a dirty sense of humor but also puns & witty humor is nice. Pet Peeves: People being disgustingly fake nice, especially when they go & talk behind your back afterwords. Gossip in general. Superstitions/Beliefs: um, see above. He has a few small superstitions, but nothing major. Dreams/Nightmares: Lately he’s been dreaming about places he’s never been to in extreme detail, and when he goes to Google them, he’s discovering his dreams were 100% dead on. Quirks: Picks at his beard or his lip when he’s thinking, spritzes a bit of cologne in his hair every morning Savvy: He has a lot of info on various myths in a variety of cultures, particularly where magic is concerned. Computer coding, mostly with HTML/CSS, so web design things. Can't understand: Sports obsessions, tbh Closet Hobby: He likes to play darts. He has spurts of activity where he becomes a Pinterest board whore. Guilty Pleasure: ok on his days off sometimes he likes to catch the marathons of America’s Next Top Model or even Wife Swap and just watch them & eat junk food. He’s not proud of it and lord knows he has a full Netflix queue with better TV. Strengths: Even-keel, Objective, Respectful, Independent, Well-learned, Open-minded Flaws: Overly sensitive sometimes, Withdrawn to the point where he can alienate people without realizing it, worries too much about what his mom will think, Indecisive, Regimented, Locks powerful emotions away instead of dealing with them Perception: Deeply flawed, but fixable Conflicts: He wants his privacy & independence, but he also really wanted someone to share his space with. Instincts: Driven to problem-solve, to find the root of a problem and fix it. He can become frustrated if he encounters a problem that he CAN’T fix, or a problem without a clear solution or multiple solutions. Lures: Historical cities, literate people, people who are different & interesting Soft Spot: He’s a sucker for animals in bad plights. Cruel Streak: Bullies !!!! and just anyone hurting people he loves, even if they hurt them first Powers/Abilities: Ancestral magic tied to his paternal line, giving him the power of dreamwalking in particular among other abilities given exploration & training; also electrical/urban magic;  has an affinity for animals that causes them to be drawn to him; ( when fully manifested ) capable of entering people's dreams and eventually altering them, can create nightmares as well; ( when fully manifested ) capable of easing someone into sleep or waking them up;  Origin: His dreamwalking abilities are inherited through his paternal line, whereas his affinity for urban/electrical magic is more of a spontaneous occurance. Source: Dalton’s dream magic activates when he sleeps, whereas his urban magic is fueled by the technology & power lines around him. Ability: He’s just learning he has abilities at all, so he’s not very capable yet, but has the possibility to be very strong. Weaknesses: still growing into his magic so he doesn't know the full extent of his abilities, nor is he able to control them adequately Immunities: Electrical shock, so he can’t be electrocuted, but also a cardiac resuscitation device would not work on him Restrictions: Most of his restrictions come in how new his powers are to him and his lack of knowledge or training. Theoretically, with training he could grow by leaps & bounds, possibly with very, very few limits. But without a proper guide and without the time to grow into his powers, he may never achieve his full potential. Alternate Forms: none Extra Anatomy: lol he has a third nipple Favorite Colors: Teal Favorite Animals: Cat Favorite Mythological Creatures: Gryphons, or domovoi Favorite Places: in Boston, probably the Boston Public Garden & his fave coffee shop, but out of everywhere he’s been, he really enjoyed Portugal  Favorite Landmarks: The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Favorite Flavors: Hazelnut, though; Starfruit Favorite Foods: Vietnamese cuisine ( esp. Cơm gà rau thơm ), Gyros Favorite Drinks: Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew Kickstart, Mint tea Favorite Characters: Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, Owen Hunt on Grey’s Anatomy, Carl on The Walking Dead Favorite Genre: Fantasy / supernatural / disaster movies Favorite Books: The Shannara series Favorite Movies: The Day After Tomorrow, Office Space, The Princess Bride Favorite Games: he’s a fan of horror & survival games, so Evil Within, The Long Dark Favorite Shows: huge Walking Dead fan Favorite Music: varies day to day tbh, but drawn to Indie Rock prob Favorite Bands: Imagine Dragons Favorite Songs: Radioactive Favorite Sports: not really a sports guy, but soccer if anything; pool Favorite Stores: um, bookstores, but more mom & pop than the big Barnes & Nobles Favorite Subjects: History, particularly World History Favorite Numbers: 3 Favorite Websites: lol would it be a surprise to say he’s a Tumblr guy? but also icanhas.cheezburger.com bcuz lolcats are bae Favorite Words: Inconceivable Favorite Quotations: "Life finds a way.” Least Favorite Colors: Orange, pastels Least Favorite Animals: Fish Least Favorite Mythological Creatures: Demons Least Favorite Places: did not like Texas tbh Least Favorite Landmarks: a lot of crowded, overhyped national monuments tbh Least Favorite Flavors: sickeningly sweet things Least Favorite Foods: Game meats like deer, elk; Lamb Least Favorite Drinks: diet sodas, boba tea Least Favorite Characters: god the people at Terminus. he can even handle Negan over them. Least Favorite Genre: stupid comedy movies Least Favorite Books: some of the required reading like The Scarlet Letter Least Favorite Movies: anything with Will Ferrell tbh Least Favorite Games: Candy Crush, Angry Birds, just. a lot of the really popular, pointless mobile games Least Favorite Shows: a lot of the gossipy reality TV like Desperate Housewives or anything with the Kardashians Least Favorite Music: polka & screamo Least Favorite Bands: he doesn’t have any he really hates Least Favorite Songs: idek Least Favorite Sports: football Least Favorite Stores: Aeropostale, idk. Walmart. Least Favorite Subjects: Science, mostly Biology & Physics. He can get into Chemistry to a certain degree. Least Favorite Numbers: the whole controversy surrounding 666 annoys him Least Favorite Websites: Twitter, um...idk Least Favorite Words: Wednesday, purely because of the spelling being totally different from the pronunciation Least Favorite Quotations: he’s not crazy about cliches, though he does get nerdy about the etymology of certain idioms Languages: English, decently fluent in French ( reading / speaking ) & Romanian ( speaking ), bits & pieces of Spanish, Portugese & German Accent: It’s really varied and hard to nail down. Spending more time in Boston, he’s starting to pick up more of that Boston accent, but it’s not super consistent either. Voice: Higher-pitched but not so much so that he sounds “feminine” Speech Impediments: none Greetings and Farewells: He’s pretty informal, so it’s a lot of ‘Hey’ and ‘What’s up?’ and ‘How ya been?’ and ‘See ya later!’ but with figures of authority it’s more formal, with added titles and Sir/Ma’am. State of Mind: generally he’s in a state of ‘good’, like he’s here & he’s not doing horrible, but he’s also not super peppy & excited Compliment: tends to compliment people’s minds/personalities over physical appearance Insult: Just calls people dumb or assholes. Like, the worse thing you can be to him is deliberately ignorant or cruel. Expletive: oh god he knows a lot, in several different languages, too, and he does cuss frequently Laughter: It’s soft and deep, but very rarely he gets carried away and snorts. Tag Line: a lot of ‘uhs’ and ‘um’ and also he’s very big on ‘Yes Sir/Ma’am’ and saying ‘Please’ & ‘Thank you’ Signature Quote: ‘ Work hard, play hard. ’ idkkkkk Reputation: Most people Dalton has come across know he’s a military brat, so he has this reputation for being ‘exotic’ and disciplined. First Impressions: I’d wonder how he has everything so figured out and how he’s so level-headed. Probably think he was too quiet and a little strange. Stranger Impressions: Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone thought he was a stoner with how laidback he can be. Or that he’s just a big nerd, or he just stays in his room playing on the computer all day & gets no sunlight & just eats Cheetos. Friendly Impressions: They think he’s a little head-in-the-clouds sometimes, but a great listener and pretty chill. Enemy Impressions: (What do people who can't stand your character think? If you can't think of anyone who hates your character, we have a problem.) Familiar Impressions: They probably wonder how he can be so okay with everything when he’s had very little stability in his life. Compliments: great listener, chill, intelligent Insults: Nerd, geek, weirdo Self-Impression: Honestly he’s still figuring himself out, especially since he’s had so many influences throughout his life. He just knows he tries to be kind and tolerant. MBTI Personality Type: INFJ Temperament: Phlegmatic Enneagram: either The Helper or The Peacemaker Ego/Superego/Id: Ego, I think? The Self: Confident, Relaxed, Not particularly driven, Adventurous The Shadow: He does have a part of him that is super self-conscious, driven by pleasing others. Idk The Anima/Animus: He displays a deep sensitivity and compassion for others, which are often considered traditionally feminine characteristics. Persona/Mask: He’s often okay with being the mysterious new kid, or the quiet weird kid. Sometimes he can get lonely and feel ostracized, though. Role: He’s kind of a follower, but also emotional support. He’s the friend people come to for advice and companionship. Fulfillment: He’s kind of a quiet supporter, but gives advice when needed. Mostly he just tries to listen, since that seems to be what people want more than actual advice. Significance: In the grand scheme of things, maybe he doesn’t matter. But to a few people, he can matter a great deal. He’s a great friend before he’s anything else, and perhaps once he’s learned how to harness his abilities, he can help people further. Alignment: Neutral Good Comparison: (Compare your character to some kind of animal, object, or anything else you can think of.) Symbol: circuitry or other symbols relating to electronics, or a cloud or moon to represent his relation to dreams. also, a large cat about the size of a snow leopard but a deep smoky color like his cat, Chernobog ( actually his dream-guide form ) Song: i’m really bad at finding songs tbh so i’m opting out of this question. for now. i’ll find something suitable in time. Vice: Sloth Virtue: Humility Defining Moment: His dad’s death really defined him because it’s the biggest obstacle he’s faced in his life. His dad was someone who motivated him to pursuit his own interests rather than following in a sense of duty and losing him was very hard. Dalton misses him every day and wishes he could have one last meal with him. It proved he can be strong and internalize his own feelings to put on a good front for his family, even if it’s been detrimental for him in that he’s never fully dealt with that loss. Tropes: god idk...Soft Gay Nerd? Is that a trope? Quiet Gay? I guess the military brat who knows a bunch of languages & lowkey teaches ppl how to cuss in other languages in part to fit in Originality: I think his backstory is unique, and tying in familial magic with other random-born magic. He’s curious and yet also stagnant & content to remain so. One Word: Respectful Character Sheet © Character-Resource

identity ask………oh shit           ACCEPTING

1. if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?

Hm, well I guess this is three questions omg but I’ll just go down the line. If they wanted to really understand me they’d have to read the Bible, which I know is saying a lot in one thing. But the reason I am the way I am is because of the things I’ve learned from that book and I would not be who I am without it. Of course I actually haven’t been able to read the whole thing yet but I take a lot of who I am from it & it’s just something that’s shaped me as a person? Oh but also I really don’t read books much anymore, but if I had to give another one it would be The Last Song? Maybe? ( The book is better than the movie, even tho I like the movie, the books better ) It just talks a lot about forgiveness & stuff and it was a lesson I really needed to learn at the time I read it & also am still learning. OH and also Crazy Love by Francis Chan, which is like a christian book, but it’s also had a huge impact on me, okay but onto watchin’.

Okay this is hard because there isn’t one full thing you could watch where the whole thing has impacted me. But there are a lot of movies I’ve learned from, ( and also since this doesn’t say specifically movies ) there are also a few speeches that I’ve really learned from ( and people would probably be able to understand me better if they watched them. But I can’t name those right now? But, I’d have to say, like, not as a whole, but Dr. Who, at least some specific episodes. Uh, Captain America?? The Help? There are more but I have a hard time naming movies/shows.

Okay and then music, fricken music, okay I could put so so so so many songs down, songs are like the soul of my life & help make me, me BUT I’m just going to give you ONE because if I didn’t this would go on forever and TWO it’s kind of my theme song but I Was Here, by the queen Beyonce. Is like, hands down my favorite *what makes me, me* song. I could name a lot more. I could make a 24 hour long playlist. But I won’t bc that would take forever. 

2. have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?

Yes, There have been a few and most of them are not on anymore but, Kae I think I can solidly say we think very similarly on just, like, how to develop muses, how to work out characters and how REAL they’re supposed to be, you know? Characters can, and should have flaws and no one has tons of perfect relationships. Real life is messy & writing should reflect that & I think we are just hella synced with that message & feeling and she’s just lovely so yeah @spookylip is bae & we think alike ( obviously bc we took those selfies that matched wITHOUT EVEN KNOWING ) we are #one

3. list your fandoms and one character from each that you identify with.

Girl Meets World: Riley Matthews.Glee: Tina Cohen - Chang.Marvel: Captain America, Steve Rogers.Hamilton: Eliza or Peggy SchyulerDisney: HeiHei ( no just kidding ) Moana, Princess Anna, Rapunzel,Harry Potter: Newt ScamanderStar Wars: FinnMy Little Pony: ( don’t u dare judge ) FlutterShyTwilight: Alice Cullen

4. do you like your name?  is there another name you think would fit you better?

Okay so I used to not like my name so much ‘cause it was really bland & there were a lot of other girls named rebecca when I was in school, then people started calling me rachel so it was like ‘my name is totally forgettable’ ( or i was i dunno ) but over the past few years I’ve started to love it, though someone ruINED the meaning of it for me *side eyes that kinky anon* but I don’t really care & I love my name now, just, never ever call me becky or I will murder u in ur sleep. :))))

5. do you think of yourself as a human being or a human doing? do you identify yourself by the things you do?

I was slightly confused reading this but I re-read it & now I get it. I think at the moment, or for the longest time I’ve been a human being, like, there are just no opportunities right now for me to be doing what others my age are, or even younger than me. Not only that but I have to work on a lot of anxieties of mine, but that being said I don’t think I’m doing nothing. What I’m doing is small, yeah, but I try to do the best I can with what I have & I have a lot of faith that things happen for a reason & right now I’m keeping things going in my family & trying to better myself, no matter how many downsides that has, sort of. & I do Identify myself by the things I do, mostly because in doing something you have the opportunity to help someone. I try to do the right things, sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t but it’s a daily thing, y’know?

6. are you religious/spiritual?

Yah. You can see that with some of my answers but I am, though I know right now a lot of people assume that if you’re religious ( especially christian, on this site at least ) that it automatically means you’re this, this & this *insert any form of ism or phobic term* but that’s really not how it works. We’re all sinners & no matter what that still doesn’t change the way God feels about us ( no matter what, we, as humans think is sin, or sinful ) I could go on a lot about this topic, honestly it’s a big part of who I am. But personally, I love God, I have a personal relationship with him that I try to work on daily & grow with him daily, my God is all loving and I just wished more people my age, or at least people on here knew that?? I dunno, there’s just so much rhetoric surrounding Christianity & most of it is wrong & I just??? Mmmm I’m getting off topic but yes! I am! It’s like a huge part of what keeps me going, I love Jesus.

7. do you care about your ethnicity?

YES. Oh my Gosh yeah, okay well I’m white, lmao, but where I come from is still like, really important to me. It used to not be. I actually used to be kind of… not ashamed but embarrassed when my Mom did really dutch things. Like, ok backing up, My grandpa moved here from the Netherlands when he was in his early teens around the time that the holocaust happened, though I couldn’t give you the exact date because I’m hella forgetful but he came with his parents and he met my Grandma and u know the deal it goes down the line. But anyways I used to like, not like the things that came with being dutch, like, I just thought it was all stupid & silly, like clogs & doilies & stupid little things like my great grandma & grandpa always used to use forks & knives with everything because it was a custom where they came from & like, it’s all small things but over the years I’ve just learned to be really proud of where my family came from? My Grandpa went through a lot to come here, he saw a lot of things he never talked about and I didn’t know him well because I was young when he died but I just really love embracing my heritage there & stuff. 

Like I’m white yes, and I’m basically a ‘mystery white’ ‘cause my dad is a mutt  & my mom isn’t fully dutch either. I’m one of those 10% Irish 25% Hungarian 50% Dutch & 15% other type of whites, but??? I’m still proud of all of it?? Like I love learning about where I came from & who I am & I think everyone should be proud of all parts of their ethnicity. As Matthew Montgomery said: “ Love all your percentages. “  

8. what musical artists have you most felt connected to over your lifetime?

shiT fam, this is getting so long & it’s gonna get longer, okay let me just do like… two, tha two tops…

Demi Lovato: Obviously, I mean… obviously She is one of the people I look up to most and I don’t know where I would be if I never had her & her music in my life. She’s taught me so much about strength and confidence and overcoming something when it looks like it will be impossible. She’s helpped me grow into someone who cares & wants to learn & help others and I just admire her so much for what she’s done, for herself, for others and for never giving up when she could have. Not to mention the ballads that have helped me through really hard times, or the speeches she’s given that remind me I’m strong & capable 

Taylor Swift: *que everyone groaning who’s reading* anYWAYS I can’t even honestly write down or explain how many times that Taylor and her music has helped me when I felt like I wanted to give up, or how many times I have cried listening to songs that should not have resonated with me but did. She’s helped me to realize not only that I am important but that no matter what, despite what people may do to me, or make me feel that I’m still important and worth working on. She’s also shown me what goofing off can do to make you feel better, how not giving a shit has helped me move on from past relationships and how being unapologetically ME is okay

In fact, I feel like Demi’s taught me those things too. But they’ve both done it in different ways, which I think shows how beautiful loving yourself can be. Because you don’t have to love yourself how another person loves themselves. You have to figure out your own, unique way to view yourself & believe in yourself & love yourself & I think that’s just really beautiful. Now, they both hate each other ( or at least severely dislike one another ) but I just feel like they’ve both done so much for me and I don’t think I could thank either of them enough for showing me strength, beauty, confidence and love in the way they have. It’s insane how much of an impact people can have but they have. I could go on but I woont I promise.

9. are you an artist?

YES I am, though my skill can be debated I love drawing when I’m in the mood & painting & jst everything that has to do with art. 

10. do you have a creed?

I don’t know if this means religious, or… otherwise… but I mean, technically I’m a baptist christian ( i think? not sure anymore ) but like, I am Christian, I feel like, sadly, the beliefs I hold are a bit left leaning & less erm, strict? When it comes to how I interpret the bible, where as a my family is different, I think? I don’t know, but I just try to follow the teachings of Jesus & his disciples. “ Love others as I have loved you - John 15:12 “ I do go by other teachings but I think that’s the top of my list. Jesus loves us unconditionally, he died for us, lived for us, and rose again so we didn’t have to burn up in hell for eternity. The least I can do is show everyone the same kind of unconditional love he’s showed me throughout my life & make sure people know that though we do sin & are inherently bad at heart, he still loves us despite our downfalls and doubt. I don’t know if that really answers this question but I had to look up creed & this is the best answer I came up with SO, thank u for sending this in and I love u
