Reblog if you want your followers to ask you anything they're curious about.

[headspace-hotel]

the theme that always resonates me the most in stories is “the world is cruel; therefore I won’t be.”

[headspace-hotel]

when a pessimistic, self-destructive character who has been made hard and cynical and bitter by repeated trauma and horror is suddenly put into a situation where they could be like “well, that’s just how it is, life’s a bitch” but they choose not to? When they decide instead they’ll be damned if they don’t die fighting to make their shitty fucking world a little bit less shitty?

When they are yanked into a relationship with someone who is way more hopeful and idealistic than they are, who has not experienced the same suffering, and they think “I’m not going to let them hurt the way I was hurt” even though they may not have ever given a damn about what anyone else was going through before?

That’s just about the most important story there is, if you ask me

basics

1. describe your oc’s facial features and hair 2. what’s their height and body type? 3. any notable features, piercings, or scars? 4. how old is your oc? do they look their age or do they look older or younger? 5. what is their voice like? 6. what is their resting face?  7. what do they look like when happy?

a. when sad? b. when angry? c. when confused?

8. what would people consider the most attractive or compelling about their appearance?

movement

9. what’s their posture like? 10. idle stance? 11. how do they move in public? 12. what are their common gestures or physical tics? 13. how do they carry themselves when they’re upset? 14. can they use their physical appearance to mask their emotions? if so how 15. are they coordinated? 16. how flexible are they? 17. can they dance?

Original Character Asks: 16, 25, 26?

(Ask meme here)

16: What other fictional characters remind you of your character?

Ooooh, there’s a few. Three that come to mind immediately are Aragorn LOTR, Raven from the early 2000s Teen Titans cartoon, and Caleb Widogast from Critical Role.

25: Would you want to hang out with your character?

Sure! I think we’d get along well enough.

26: What is your favorite headcanon for your character?

Is it really a headcanon if I’m her creator? Either way, I think that Charlie was actually pretty clumsy as a teenager. Long Elven Limbs + Fast Human Childhood is not a combination that allows for graceful movement. She worked very hard for a number of years for the Dexterity score of 15 that she has now, but it was definitely worth it.

[cadoielsdorkiestranger]

C4, F2, and h2!

(Ask meme here)

C4. what is their major comfort food? why?

Hmmm.....I’d have to say tomato soup, honestly. It reminds them of the winter and simpler times.

F2. what is their ideal party?

None Party

(jk lol)

Definitely a smaller affair, with close friends and family only. Good food, good drinks, maybe some music. Shoes optional.

H2. do they prefer summer or winter?

Summer. Midsummer is one of their favorite holidays, so they’ve always been a little biased.
