Happy STS! What sorts of associations do you have for your characters? Do you associate them with any colors, elements, animals, aesthetics, etc.? Do tell!
Oh I love this ask! :D Colors are a big thing for me, so I'll go with that. I associate pretty much anything with a color and this has definitely always been a thing with my characters for as long as I've written things. I made a color grid thing for each of the dorks a while ago and never shared that so I'll add that in too!
Adair is blues-- the bright blue sky on a sunny day, bright happy teals and blue-greens, the blues of faded denim, and the dark blue of the ink he uses for his maps. I also associate violet with him because it's the color of his magic and light brown because of .... well, pie crust, mostly lol
Blythe is mostly earth tones-- all shades of greens for the plants that she loves and the browns of dirt and earth. I also associate red with her, like a deep autumn red of leaves, and black because it's the color that she wears for her performance costume and also for her sentinel uniform later. (This is only worn special occassions, she and Etri don't have to wear these all the time.)
Dray is all warm colors-- gold through orange through reds to red-violet. Fire colors, hot colors. Sol is similar, but lighter. His are the color of light as well as fire, so it's more like whites, bright yellows, gold, and oranges.
Etri is dark colors, black and grey for his goth aesthetic and shadow magic, but he's also dark blues and dark purples-- the color of the evening sky or ink. Sapphire is all shades of blue because it's her favorite color. Hers are more true blues than Adair's, which tend to lean more towards greens, and brighter than Etri's.
Ametrine is purples and yellows-- those are the two colors of an ametrine gemstone, which is where he gets his name, but also he just really loves pretty purples and bright yellows. Skia is mostly grey because he's grey (once Ametrine can see him, anyway), with some black for being a shadow elemental (ghosts are shadow elementals, but not all shadow elementals are ghosts). But also hot pink because that's absolutely his favorite color, and some pretty purple because it's Ametrine's favorite color and Skia loves Ametrine.
Camille's are mostly pale yellows and whites (to represent light magic), pale pinks because that's her favorite color, and some dark grey because she learns how to control shadow elementals as well as lights. Rosalie is another purple dork, but generally darker than Ametrine's. She's got a punk goth aesthetic and sense of fashion, so there's also blacks and dark greys. This also goes along with her having shadow magic.

Happy STS from your moral support dragon. Tell me a big about your favorite characters. What makes them your favorite? Have a wonderful day
Thanks for the ask! :D I always say Etri is the favorite of my characters because I love how loyal and willing to stand up for his family/friends he is even though he's got horrible social anxiety and panic attacks. I love how optimistic he tends to be even though he's had a rough life and every reason to be cynical and pessimistic. I love how patient he is with everyone, no matter how frustrating they might be.
But Ametrine is also sneaking up there and I think once he's the MC in the next trilogy he's going to pass Etri. He's afraid of practically everything but he faces that to help his friends. (I think I have a theme going with faves there, to be honest.) Like he's terrified of ghosts, but he befriends one anyway, then later helps his other best friend set spirits free. And even in this trilogy when he’s still a kid, the last thing he wants to do is go back to the home country he ran away from, but when his adoptive parents have to go in different directions for a while because of Plot, he picks the ones going to that country because he knows he can help them.

happy STS!!! say your OCs were placed in a room with no exit and the only way they could get out was by sharing painful or otherwise difficult memories with the others. what memory would they choose to talk about? how do they feel after sharing it? ~crystallized-ink
Thanks for the ask @crystallized-ink! :D Oh gosh, this is Dray's biggest nightmare. Having to actually talk about their past? To *other people*? It doesn't matter that the other are Dray's family, there are things they just don't talk about, and by "things" I mean "pretty much everything Dray has ever done or experienced." I guess Dray would talk about their father, though. It's probably the thing that hurts Dray the most, but it's also a thing that isn't something Dray did themself, so no one would judge them for it like they fear the others would about other memories. So yeah, Dray would talk about how their father abandoned them and how they never figured out why or what they did wrong to be so unwanted. They would actually feel better about this after, though, because it's something that they've kept inside for so much of their life and now they have a family who loves them. That makes it a little easier.
Adair would talk about his ex-boyfriend, which isn't a secret from the others. I mean, I don't think he’s talked a lot about specifics of what he experienced and how he was treated, but the other dorks have the gist, and he would trust them. It would just hurt a lot for him to talk about it. He'd also likely feel a bit better once he was done, just like it would for Dray.
Sol and Etri would have the same thing to talk about-- how they both failed at keeping Sol's boyfriend (who was also Etri's close friend) alive. Sol would appear to be more hurt by this, but only because he shows emotions a lot more obviously than Etri does. I think both would feel worse after talking about this because it's such a bad, terrifying memory for both of them.
Blythe would talk about losing her father because his death hurt her so much, and it led immediately into her being adopted by an aunt she hated and taken away from her home to a new place she hated. She wouldn't feel so great after talking about this because it was a time in her life where she felt powerless and she hates not feeling in control.
Ametrine's memory would be almost identical to Dray's, the only difference being that he knows why his family didn't want him. (They didn't think he was smart enough to follow in the career of his family. Galanvoth sucks like that.) He'd feel better after talking about this, though, because now he has parents who love him so much and they'd reassure him that he’ll always be wanted.
I've been adding Skia into the mix when I talk about the dorks because he's technically part of their family too (as Ame's best friend the dorks also kind of adopt), but he wouldn't have a memory. As a ghost, he doesn't remember anything about being alive and even memories early on of being a ghost aren't very clear. The closest he would have to talk about is the loneliness of no one being able to see him or hear him or touch him. (Only Etri of the dorks can see/hear him because of his type of magic, at least until Ame starts being able to hear him, so Skia would be writing this out for them to read.) Skia would feel better, though, because he isn't so lonely now.
#I still have to settle on a pronoun for Skia#I feel like he's likely to use they#Skia is definitely genderqueer#but that might be a thing he decides after this trilogy and before he and Ame are MCs in the next one#for that matter I think Ame might use he/they when he's older#writing#ask#storyteller saturday#my writing ramblings#unexpected inspiration series#UI POV: All#UI POV: Dray#UI POV: Adair#UI POV: Blythe#UI POV: Etri#UI POV: Sol#UI POV: Ametrine#UI POV: Skia#crystallized-ink#Anonymous

Happy STS!! How has your OC’s relationship with their parents (or lack there of) influenced their life? - reininginthefirewriting
Thanks for the ask! Ouch, this is a loaded question for the dorks so it’s going to get long.
Adair’s the only one who has parents still in the picture. He gets along okay with them-- basically just the annoyance any 18/19 year old would have with parents he finds too traditional and dull. Add in the fact that he technically has 6 parents (three of his own, then his master’s family who he lived with for years), it’s mostly just minor griping because too many adults are around to give advice. He’s definitely become less and less traditional Artisan as he’s gotten older and that’s mostly the influence of his master who’s ... not eccentric, but definitely not traditional.
(Fun fact: Addy spends a portion of book 1 annoyed because his parents don’t approve of Etri. I’m with his parents on this one. Not because Etri is bad, but Addy did get into a serious relationship very quickly with someone he hasn’t known long, who’s a few years older than him, who comes off at first as cold and distant and not caring about Adair because Etri has bad social anxiety and meets Addy’s parents at a party. Adair also just got out of a really unhealthy relationship, so yeah. I’d be concerned in his parents’ shoes, too!)
Blythe’s mom passed away when she was a baby and she was raised by her dad for most of her childhood. He was a great parent and definitely was a positive influence on her. He passed when she was 13, though, so not having him around and not having any other good parent figure after this probably influenced her just as much. It’s why she’s so independent and driven and also tends to keep herself apart from other people. She learned a long time ago that she can only rely on herself.
Etri and Sol never knew their parents because the part of their culture where they were raised has no concept of family. Ditto on Rosalie and Camille. They all turned out okay (if you can call “various levels of trauma” okay), but only because they got out of Montglace and had the other to give them a sense of family. It’s also why all 4 of them are intensely loyal-- when you don’t have many people you can trust, you’re going to be close to the ones you can.
Dray... ugh that’s even more loaded. Their parents loved them and they knew their parents loved them, so their childhood was pretty great-- but then Dray’s mom took them away from their home and left Dray with the impression that it was because their father didn’t want anything to do with them. Then their mom just... left when they were a teenager. So Dray has thought for so long that they weren’t good enough and this is definitely why they are the way they are. (Dray’s parents had reasons and Dray just never worked out what the reasons were mostly because they were too hurt in the first place to ask and the second time too angry to actually pay attention to the situation-- it wasn’t actually abandonment in either case, but Dray was like “well, clearly they hate me, the world hates me, I suck, everyone is just going to leave me, eff everybody so I’m just going to cause problems now.”)
Ametrine had a similar situation to Dray only in his case he *was* actually abandoned by his parents for not being good enough. (He and Dray grew up in the same country and this is a Thing there.) Luckily he was smart enough to run away to Concordia and was fostered with Sapphire for a while (who was a good foster mom) before the dorks adopt him. But even with this love and acceptance, his past is something he’s going to always carry with him. He’s always going to fear that if he’s not good enough, people will decide they don’t like him or won’t want him anymore. It’s no wonder Dray is the first dork to get close to Ame-- they see so much of themself in him.
#like the next trilogy has Ametrine as an MC and an adult#and he still has struggles of acceptance and being good enough#even after years of having parents who adore him#writing#ask#storyteller saturday#my writing ramblings#unexpected inspiration series#UI POV: all#UI POV: Adair#UI POV: Etri#UI POV: Sol#UI POV: Blythe#UI POV: Firedrake#UI POV: Ametrine#with-a-little-bit-of-light#UI POV: Dray

Happy STS! Which character is already getting pumped for Halloween? Which one started getting pumped months ago? Which one is the “it’s not even October yet!!!!” character? Who never stops celebrating Halloween? (If Halloween doesn’t exist in your world, just answer hypothetically)
Concordia doesn't have Halloween, per se, but they do LOVE costume parties and fun holidays so this isn't hard to imagine and also fun! :D
Sol would ABSOLUTELY start getting pumped months ago, because costumes? A chance to make really awesome decorations that are probably some kind of animatronic? CANDY? My gosh, he'd be all over this! He'd absolutely drag Adair into helping him with stuff, who wouldn't really be about Halloween all that much (minus maybe the candy), but is always willing to join in with Sol's adventures.
Dray loves costumes, it's one of the things they love about being a performer, but you know that they're only ever going to have some variation of a dragon costume, or else some really glamourous masquerade type costume. Dray is also is likely someone who planned this out months in advance.
Blythe is absolutely the “it’s not even October yet!!!!” character. This would be yet another time where her family is loud and annoying and making a mess lol. Etri is goth. He should love Halloween. Spooky is pretty much what he *is* as a shadow elemental. But he doesn't really go in for spooky or candy or costumes, so he's going to be mostly indifferent. Not annoyed like Blythe, just not particularly interested, and also wondering why the others care so much.
Ametrine would love Halloween because what kid wouldn't? He'd absolutely join in with whatever Sol has planned, and whatever costume he could possibly want, Dray would make for him. And the culture he grew up in was so boring and wouldn't have had fun holidays like this, so it would be extra fun for him to get to experience this. He's not into scary things in the slightest, he gets scared easily, but then again, so does Sol. So anything they make will be cute or funny, not actually frightening.
Skia, though. Man, Skia would be even more into this than Sol! He's literally a ghost and he's all about spoopy and stupid Halloween stuff, because what ghost of a young teenager wouldn’t be into this? He would absolutely have Halloween decorations up year-round, like fake skeletons wearing sunglasses and posed in stupid ways, cutouts of stupid ghosts. He lives with Ame (in so far as a ghost can live-- they share a room because the dorks kinda adopt Skia, too) who draws the line on year-round. He'll let Skia have some things out all year, but most definitely not the dumb skeletons even if the skeletons do look happy. (Skia isn’t about scary or creepy and wouldn’t do anything that could scare Ame or make him upset. Skia’s just happy that while Ame’s afraid of ghosts, he isn’t afraid of him.) And like, he's a ghost who's all about mischief and pranks, he's absolutely going to haunt people even more around Halloween than he normally would and that's saying something since being mildly annoying in ghosty ways is his favorite pastime lol
Oh man, I think this is a short story I might have to write sometime between now and Halloween. XD

Unexpected Inspiration Series Masterpost: About the Secondary Dorks
The Unexpected Inspiration series is lighthearted, lgbt+ high fantasy set in a contemporary world. If you're into magic, found family, and characters who like to cause mischief, I got you covered! The short stories are all available to read and you can learn more about the series here and about the main characters here.
Under the read more is information about each of these secondary characters.
Name: Ametrine Travellarri Age: 12 Gender: nonbinary Birthplace: Galanvoth Occupation: kid Magic: none
Ametrine is a shy and quiet runaway from the neighboring country of Galanvoth. He rarely talks about his past, but from what the others have pieced together, his family replaced him. Galanvoth is a place where passing on a trade is more important than anything else, and it isn't uncommon for a firstborn to be demoted or kicked out of their family entirely if they're deemed not good enough. Ametrine was able to get away and made it to the safety of Concordia's capital city, where he was fostered with Sapphire and her carnival troupe. He meets Dray not long after this. Dray was also a runaway from Galanvoth and takes Ametrine under their wing, introducing him to their friends who immediately treat Ametrine as though he was part of their family. When he's asked if he wants to be adopted, he doesn't really understand why they would want him when his own parents didn't. He agrees without much hesitation, though, because the way he sees it, five people who love him unconditionally is a much better family than two traditional parents who didn't. For a while there's a fear in the back of his mind that he won't be good enough for them, but gradually this starts to fade. (Character tag- UI POV: Ametrine / moodboard / Pinterest board)
Name: Skia (he has no idea what his name is, so Ametrine helped him pick this one) Age: 14 (not that he remembers this) Gender: genderqueer Birthplace: ? (he has no clue) Occupation: haunting people Magic: he's a ghost, he does ghost things
Skia is a mystery, even to himself. He's dead, that much is obvious, but he no longer has any memory of who he was as a human or how he could have died. He's been drifting aimlessly around both the real world and what Etri calls "the place of shadow" for an unknown amount of time, up until Camille summons him mostly by accident. She was aiming for a helpful shadow elemental who could possibly tell her where Rosalie went. What she gets is the ghost of a mischievous, cheeky teenager who she can't seem to banish. Fortunately for her, Skia soon grows bored with her company and decides to haunt Ametrine instead. Ametrine is frightened at first-- it's not every day that you discover a ghost followed you home. But when the fridge magnets and sloppily handwritten notes start to spell out an equal mix of kind words and stupid jokes that make him laugh, he realizes the ghost must be another kid who's also lonely. The longer Skia hangs around Ametrine, the more he's able to retain a memory. He’s never able to remember much about his past, but because of Ametrine, he’s able to gain a present and a future. I'd say you’d never see Ametrine without Skia, but no one can see Skia. (Character Tag- UI POV: Skia / Pinterest board)
Name: Feren Cole Age: 19 Gender/sexuality: male (cis), bisexual Birthplace: Concordia Occupation: barista (when he can be bothered to show up) Magic: none
Feren is a layabout who loves styling himself into a tragic victim. As one of the few unmagical Artisans, he has always felt like he deserved more than life gave him, despite having everything handed to him and multiple opportunities available at every turn. He was once Adair and Nina’s sentinel-intended, but the second things got slightly dangerous, he decided it was too difficult and he wasn't good enough for the role. He’s currently taking graduate classes on the history of magic, with no real career goal in mind. This was simply the easiest choice at the time and he has never had work to be good at scholarly pursuits. It's unfortunate, but also entirely on point for him, that he puts as much real effort into this as he does working at his girlfriend’s restaurant as a barista and delivery boy. It's a one in three chance he'll be bothered to show up on time and he lives there. If an easy road to recognition and leisure presents itself, he’s going to jump on it with no questions asked. He’s always seeking to improve his lot in life with the minimum amount of effort on his part. (Character Tag- UI POV: Feren / Moodboard / Pinterest board)
Name: Sapphire Age: never ask a lady her age (she looks to be in her early-mid 30s) Gender/sexuality: female (cis), panromantic greysexual Birthplace: Concordia Occupation: leader of a carnival troupe Magic: none (technically. She can see/sense magic, though)
Sapphire is Etri's former mentor and thieving partner, as well as one of his closest friends. She’s currently the leader of the carnival troupe in Silveridge, the capital city of Concordia, and coordinates the city's performers. This is about as effective as herding cats. When Sapphire isn't sorting out who's performing at which venue and breaking up arguments about costumes, she can be found in her other organizational role with the troupe. Many of the performers are also thieves who return stolen art back to the artists who created it. It's up to Sapphire to keep track of what each reverse-thief is doing so that they don't cross paths or get caught. Sapphire excels at this administrative role, being calm, competent, and experienced, while at the same time her strong desire to take care of the people she considers family makes them intensely loyal. Keeping her carnies safe always comes before anything else and there's nothing her troupe wouldn't do for her in return. (Character tag- UI POV: Sapphire / moodboard / Pinterest board)
Name: Talan Age: 3. It's complicated. Gender/sexuality: male (cis), demi/grey-romantic pan Birthplace: Montglace Occupation: errand boy Magic: none
Talan is equal parts cheerful and peculiar, with almost a lethal case of curiosity. He’s something of a magpie who collects various bits of everything in a personal quest to discover its purpose. He has a tenuous grasp on the concept of possessions and tends to think of anything that isn’t currently being worn or carried or nailed down as fair game. He’s Dray’s boyfriend, at least for a little while, and Dray’s malfunctioning moral compass hasn’t exactly been the best influence in Talan’s life. Relatively new to Concordia in particular and civilization in general, Talan struggles with things like laws, idioms, and telling people apart. He’s determined to learn these things, though, and wants more than anything to fit in and be helpful. (Moodboard / Pinterest board)
Name: Nina Pare Age: 20 Gender/sexuality: female (cis), bi? hetero? (she’s only dated guys and I don’t know her well enough yet to guess which it is) Birthplace: Concordia Occupation: chef, cafe owner Magic: Savorweaving (culinary)
Nina is a chef with culinary magic who owns her own cafe. As much of an honor as it was to have it passed to her when the previous owner retired, she'll be the first to admit that it probably wasn't the best time for it. This isn't to say that she's not a capable chef and businesswoman, more that Feren keeps messing things up for her and it would have been better if she'd had the chance to break up with him first. Every time she plans to do this, some disaster happens, and her personal life gets pushed to her back burner. She dreams of the day that she can take a break and travel, to gather new recipes and ideas, to visit the beaches she loves so much, to have five minutes to breathe. Someone give this poor, overworked woman a vacation. (Pinterest board)
Name: Wysta Larkspur Age: 39 Gender/sexuality: female (trans), bisexual Birthplace: Concordia Occupation: healer Magic: healing/telepathy
Wysta is the lead healer of Blythe, Etri, and Sol's carnival troupe. She was Blythe's first instructor in arcane healing and remained her mentor and friend after Blythe moved on to further study. Wysta is a former Protectorate and her shaved head is a sign of giving up the life of a guard. Specific braids designate status as a Protectorate and it’s a ritual to cut off the braid when you pick a different path in life. Usually a former Protectorate will let their hair grow back, but Wysta keeps her head shaved as a personal-- and practical, considering her profession-- style choice. While Wysta is efficient and sensible, contrasting with the flightier personalities of the carnies she calls family, she possesses both a great sense of humor and a friendly bedside manner. There are very few people Blythe admires and respects, so it says a lot that she holds Wysta in the highest regard and trusts her with information she doesn't give anyone else.

14-17!!
I’m still kinda on hiatus, but I need the distraction, so I’m catching up with some of these asks from last week. I’m going to go with my 9 most frequently written characters and generate a number to choose them.
14. If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be? Rolled Piquant (info/moodboard). He’s a brand new character, so so far I’ve been keeping in mind that he doesn’t see the world the way a human character would. Everything is new and strange to him. The other thing is that he’s intelligent in thought, but he doesn’t know human language well yet, so he’s going to run into problems when he’s trying to vocalize his thoughts. (Bonus: I also have to keep in mind that he’s not good with faces and sees everything as black/white/grey, so he tends to rely on voice to remember who people are.)
15. What is something about your OC can make you laugh? I rolled Rosalie (info/moodboard). It’s gotta be how her pet shadow acts like a puppy and is always trying to help her even if it’s not actually helpful. I can see it bringing her little things that it thinks might make her happy, like how my cat left a pencil in my slipper the other day while I was asleep. I bet the shadow leaves her like books and shiny beads or pieces of fruit.
16. What is something about your OC can make you cry? Rolled Ametrine (info/moodboard). Oh gosh, the poor kid. He was abused before he ran away from home and he has a hard time opening up to people or trusting that they want him around.
17. Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story? Firedrake (info/moodboard) – there are a ton of things *Dray* regrets me adding that made their life difficult, but I don’t think I regret adding anything… No! Wait, in book 1 Dray gets hit with magic that makes it hard for them to speak until book 2 when they learn to adjust. This works well for Dray’s development, but it means I lose some of the wonderful snark that Dray normally has.

Are there any foods that remind your characters of their homes in particular? Are movies a thing in your universe? Whose the best cook out of all your characters and what’s their fav thing to make?
Yay! Thanks for the asks! If anyone wants to send in random questions about my characters or just random questions in general that I can answer for any character, please do! I'm having a tough day and that would help a ton.
Foods:Adair is a definitely yes. The reason he loves pie so much is because his master's husband is a master chef who specializes in baked goods. (And his apprentice was Adair's girlfriend for a while, so even more yummy things!) When Adair apprenticed and moved in with this family at 12, they made him feel welcome by baking yummy things as a family. When the dorks adopt Ametrine, Adair does this with him. Adair's favorite was always pie, Ametrine's is cupcakes.Otherwise the relevant character for this is Etri. It's not so much that potatoes remind him of home, it's that he grew up on a really bland diet where it was mostly potatoes available, so he never really acquired a taste for the fancy Concordian foods.
Movies:They aren't a thing, but I think it's more because plays and theater are a *huge* thing in Concordia rather than the lack of technology. And sorta related fun fact: Adair gets really creative with his illusion magic so instead of just drawing on paper, he starts drawing on air. So he's going to do like "plays" with the carnival using his illusions. I really hope Etri writes them because Adair would be a terrible writer/storyteller lol.
Cook:Everyone is pointing to Adair who's grinning. He's definitely the best cook and that's because he loves to eat. And also the whole living with a master chef thing. And the obvious answer is pie. That boy loves pie of any kind! But really, though, he loves cooking the favorite foods of his family even if that does mean a lot of potato-based dishes for Etri and spicing up Sol's food so much that Adair hardly considers it edible. ;)

9-11!
Thanks for the asks! I’m still kinda on hiatus, but I need the distraction, so I’m catching up with some of these asks from last week. I’m going to go with my 9 most frequently written characters and generate a number to choose them.
9.) Are they based off of you, in some way? Sapphire (info/moodboard) -- not intentionally, but I made people with her magic have sensitivity to light, sound, and smell, which is something that I deal with, too.
10.) If they have an LI, how much of their character is tailored to be compatible to that person? Etri (info/moodboard) -- ooo a good roll for this one because he's the love interest of two of my POV characters. That said, I didn't tailor him at all for this purpose because he wasn't originally supposed to be involved with Blythe and Adair at all lolol. He just ended up so compatible with them that by the end of the 1st draft the two were like "you're keeping him in this story and he's ours" and who was I to question their decision? ;)
11.) Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation? Ametrine (info/moodboard) -- actually, in his case, I think I did. I'm pretty sure that I've always known that he was aro/ace. Usually it takes me a bit to sort this out, but this was kind of built with his character because it was part of his backstory for why he ran away from home.

Let’s go 1, 4, 30 for your choice 🙂
Thanks for the asks! :)
1.) Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, who’s the favorite?I’ve mentioned that Firedrake has a stuffed dragon that lives in their bags when they travel and when they’re not traveling, it ends up among the favorite things of the other characters. (Like Adair’s paintbrushes and Blythe’s yarn basket.) That’s a way Dray shows affection. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned this before, but Blythe has a teddy bear. And she does in fact sleep with this. She’d probably kill whoever found out though. (I’m pretty sure Dray was the one who gave her the bear, so Dray knows. Dray also knows to keep silent lol.)
4.) Do they look good in red?Going to pick a random number for this– got Sol. He usually wears yellow and orange, but he’s been known to wear red once in a while because that’s also a bright, happy color. (Or at least the bright reds he would wear are.) I think he’d look good in it as long as it was bright. Dark colors would wash him out because he’s so pale.
30.) What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?Random number gave me Ametrine. Oh gosh, this boy would never do anything mean or illegal ever. Like the most would be to maybe break into a bakery and steal cupcakes or something. Then he’d probably sweep the floor or something while he was in there. There’s a reason he later becomes one of the reverse-thieves who return stolen stuff lol.
(This is for this ask game. Feel free to send me more numbers because these are super fun questions. :) )
