oc asks that reveal more than you think

Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, who’s the favorite?

Can they take care of a plant? What about a pet? What about a child?

Ask them to describe their love interest.

Do they look good in red?

Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?

Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?

Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.

Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?

Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)?

What age do they most want to be right now?

They’ve won the lottery. Spend, or save?

Do they like romance in the books they read (or in the book they’re in)?

Name one thing their parents taught them.

Would they agree with the term ‘guilty pleasure’? Do they have any?

What would they consider a waste of time– other than school or work?

If money wasn’t a limit, what would they wear?

Do they like children?

Kissing: tongue or no tongue?

Do they study before tests? Practice before job interviews?

What do they like that nobody else does?

What would it take for them to break up with someone? What would be the last straw?

Do they like being called pet names? Do they call other people pet names? What’s their go-to?

Stability or novelty?

Honesty or charity?

Safety or possibility?

Talent or effort?

Forgiveness or vengeance (or…)?

Would they date a fixer-upper?

What recurring dreams do they have?

What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?

Hypnovember Day 30- Kink

So, there’s already been a lot of kink drawings this month, but for the last day, I wanted to show a different iteration of Mother Winter, the Secret Empire version. Here, she’s not Mother Winter, taking orders from Hydra, she’s the Empress. She is finally in control. 

[askmotherwinter]

Hypnovember Day 29- Doctor 

So I already used Doctor Faustus twice already, so I needed to move onto a different dastardly doctor, Zola. In the comics and cartoon, he can actually grow his electronic TV face onto a target’s body, and control them. 

[askmotherwinter]

Hypnovember Day 28- Abduction

So the actual abduction of Cap to turn her into Mother Winter I feel like has been covered already in previous drawings this month, so I’m mixing it up. This time, Mother Winter is getting abducted by an organization other than Hydra. Which organization? Well, the hint is that the cuffs on her arms are adamantium. 

[askmotherwinter]

Hypnovember Day 27- Confident

Petra in the Superior Spider-Man outfit, being controlled by Doctor Octopus.He could either be in her mind and her body literally (like in the comic) or figuratively, either way, Doc Ock is in control.

[askmotherwinter]

Hypnovember Day 26- Enemy 

Aaaaahhhh I was also looking forward to this one. Here he is. The one who started it all. 

[askmotherwinter]

Hypnovember Day 25- Babble 

So with a prompt like that, I had to include one of the babies. This is her with baby Roman during her first days as Mother Winter. She just saw him (and his twin brother) as hers, no one else’s, and she knew she had to protect them. She didn’t resent them at all because deep down, she still had the heart of Captain America who never gave up. 

[askmotherwinter]

Hypnovember Day 24- Business

Mother Winter spent a lot of time in Soviet Russia. That meant blending in with the proper attire as Comrade Semenov. (Fun fact: She was present for the death of Stalin and the shit show that followed.) 

[askmotherwinter]

Hypnovember Day 23- Heist 

So if Petra were to be hypnotized by her villains, they’d want her to ruin her Spidey reputation and also get them some cold harsh cash by stealing from a bank. Two birds with one stone.

[askmotherwinter]

Hypnovember Day 22- Mistaken 

Even if you put Mother Winter in front of a cardboard cut-out of Captain America, she won’t recognize it as her. She doesn’t know who that is. She doesn’t recognize the victory curls or red lipstick. And she definitely doesn’t remember the smile. You must have her mistaken for someone else.
