OLIVIER ( @olivierperrier​ )

As Ellis takes his hand and pulls Olivier towards the bathroom he can feel himself reddening in embarrassment and still shaking at the suddenness of the jealous reaction. It was humiliating, to say the least. Still, he finds the emotion does not linger as harshly as expected when Ellis is there with hands at the ready to help.

❝ désolé, Ellis, r—r–really i–i-i shouldn’t have shouted, i-i-i-i… ❞ What had come over him? He wasn’t with Ellis, not really. They had been fake dating for what, half an hour and he’s already jealous of the very person they had done this against? Olivier grabs some disposable towels and dabs unsuccessfully at the red drink in his hair and clothes before his gaze rests on Ellis and sees it splattered on him too. He reaches out unthinkingly, the drinks he had earlier making his fingers warm as he brushes away droplets from Ellis’s cheek.

❝ m——m-merde, it got over you t-t—-t-too, je suis vraiment désolé.…❞

It felt like the entire bar was looking at them as they walked towards the bathroom, even though the likelihood of that was pretty low. To an outsider, it was possible to interpret what happened as a random accident but there was definitely an air of malice behind it all. Ellis was racking his brain to find a way to make it up to Olivier, this was his fault after all.

“Shh, shh, it’s fine.” Ellis responded, handing Olivier a few more towels to try and get some of the red out of his shirt. Hopefully that stain would come out eventually. But his train of thought was lost as the other placed his hand against his cheek in an almost caring gesture. It felt unfamiliar and strange, but not entirely unwanted. How was he supposed to respond to that?

“Huh?” Upon hearing Oliviers comment, Ellis finally noticed some red splatter on his own shirt. “Oh, it’s nothing... Do you wanna get outta here? I suddenly don’t feel comfortable out there anymore.”

OLIVIER ( @olivierperrier​ )

Oh. This was nice. Was this really what dating someone was like in the casual moments? There is so much unknown and Olivier knows it’s more complex, but for a moment he could really imagine he and Elliot like this. The thought is quickly followed up with a large sip of his drink - god these were strong. He should have eaten something first judging by the way this is hitting him and warming his skin, but too late now. He’ll just slow down.  He could do that. He could. Olivier is about to reply when he notices Ellis’s eyes flick behind him again and hears the shift of movement. Oh good, she must be going now. Still,  a part of him is almost disappointed their charade is over so quickly -

❝ -putain! ❞ The gasped exclamation comes as someone hits his shoulder hard from behind, spilling their ice cold drink all over his head. The woman - the one who had been staring at him ever since he kissed Elliot - was walking away with a self-satisfied smirk and a ‘sorry’ that sounded anything but. Olivier spluttered, brushing icecubes out of his hair. Maybe it was the drink he’d already downed, or the sheer audacity that pushed him, but Olivier’s lip curled and he called after her;

❝ casse-toi, pétasse! Il est à moi!❞

Maybe tonight wasn’t going to be a complete disaster after all. What had started as a desperate favour was turning out to be a pretty great night with Olivier and Ellis didn’t really want the charade to end - even though the reason they were ‘together’ had seemingly disappeared into the night. The alcohol in his system was making that seem like a pretty good option, but would Olivier agree?

His train of thought was interrupted as the girl reappeared as if from thin air and a cold glass of bright red liquid cascaded down Oliviers face, soaking him completely. Ellis moved back but still got splashed since they were so close at the time. Seeing the girl from earlier walking away with a smirk, Ellis temporarily saw red before Olivier beat him to it. It seemed almost uncharacteristic of him, but Ellis couldn’t help but try to calm the other down. 

“Olivier, calme-toi.” He spoke softly, placing a hand on the others damp shoulder while flipping off the girl with his other hand. “Viens, on ve te nettoyer”. Grabbing the others hand, Ellis tried to lead him to the nearby bathroom while the bartender tried to clean up some of the mess. “Are you OK? I’m so sorry, I didn’t think she’d do that...”

❛ I got the feeling that I would see you again ❜

"Lotta people say that about me. Well, they call me a bad penny and that’s about the same thing.” Ellis tried to joke before taking a seat across from Echo at the table. “Didn’t think it would be at this time of night though. What’s the occasion?”

[jrlixutxnant]

OLIVIER ( @olivierperrier​ )

A drink is passed to him and Olivier has to stop himself from downing it all in one go. Looking at Ellis, he seems to be of the same mood and Olivier doesn’t know if that’s comforting or if he should be a bit offended. Ellis glances behind Olivier and his eyes widen a bit before looking back, which makes the hair on the back of Olivier’s neck stand up. They’re still being watched. It’s really unsettling to know not only that Ellis has been relentlessly pursued, but that she’s still lingering even with Ellis’s ‘boyfriend’ around.

❝r-really?❞ Did Ellis just make him blush? Olivier isn’t sure if it’s from the comment on his looks or the support for quartermaster, but his face heats up at the words. He’s honest about wanting to position and Ellis’s support means a lot to him.Still, he runs a hand through his hair, pleased at the (fake, it has to be fake, right?) compliment. ❝thank you d…….d-darling, that’s sweet to say. How was your….your day?❞ He edges closer so their knees brush, quickly finishing his drink and tapping the bar for another. He rests his chin in hand, gazing at Ellis intently. It was lucky they were close - it might not be so hard to pretend tonight after all. I mean, as long as Ellis is there he had a good acting partner.

The persistence of this girl was almost admirable, if it was applied to another circumstance and not following him around when he told her no. There’s no way she couldn’t get the message now, they were playing this up so damn much! Stopping himself from practically inhaling his drink, Ellis tried to get his thoughts in order.

Harder than expected when Olivier shifted closer to him and their knees made contact. Usually, Ellis could keep his cool but this was an extraordinary situation. Olivier acted pretty introverted but he was a natural as a boyfriend, fake or otherwise.

Smirking as he noticed a redness come across the other mans cheeks, Ellis finished his own drink and joined Olivier in getting another round of drinks. Maybe it was the alcohol talking, but he could get used to this. “Can’t complain, a lot of paperwork. But I’m just happy to be here with you now.” Leaning forward, he set a hand on Oliviers knee before noticing some movement behind him.

Looked like she finally got the message.

Which Flower Are You?

Cherry Blossom

You are soft but you are not quiet. Bright and loud and excited about life, you are likely the first to ask to pet someone's dog. You have always had a large group of acquaintances but struggle to maintain close relationships, always afraid they will leave, taking some of you with them. Those that have met you, could never forget you if they tried. You wear your heart on your sleeve and while you will never apologize for it, sometimes wish you could grow some thorns. Despite your unequivocal beauty, you are humble and kind, never demanding, always willing to shed your petals to keep others warm. Don't forget to take care of yourself love, don't be afraid to let someone stay and grow alongside them, instead of for them.

💋 i have no shame.

@galaeus ( meme )

Ellis looked up from his communicator as Echo entered the bar, taking a breath to steady himself. He owed her big time for this but, with his ex around, Ellis didn’t want to be alone or single around him. What he hadn’t been expecting was the kiss she planted on his lips before words were even exchanged between them. It took a moment before he responded, hand moving to rest on her waist as if on autopilot.

“Uh, hey there. Definitely not gonna complain.”

It’s Sinday! Send 💋 to straight up kiss my muse!

INQA ( @leaguexofxherxown​ )

Smiling as he stepped aside, Inqa stepped into the familiar quarters and took in a deep breath.  She missed the smell of him and his home.  It’s the little things.  Nodding she wrapped her arms around herself.  “Of course, by all means, do whatever you please.  It is your home after all.”  The Doctor smiled up at him before taking a seat on his couch, one the pair had frequented in more ways that just to sit.  “So, how have you been?”

Letting the door slide shut behind her, Ellis went off to grab the two of them some drinks. Was alcohol a good idea now? Probably not, so he decided to put two bottles of water on the table instead before taking a seat next to her on the couch. “Can’t complain, just a lotta work in comms. How’s medbay these days?”

[jrlixutxnant]

OLIVIER ( @olivierperrier​ )

❝ there b-better be an open b–b—–b-bar here Ellis i swear - ❞

Olivier’s quickly hissed threat through smiling teeth is cut short as their charade continues. His insides are twisting into a tight, nervous knot at the idea of being like, actually out in front of everyone even though it isn’t a secret that he’s gay. It’s just the idea of everyone know he’s with somebody (even though he isn’t) is what makes his stomach churn. He knows they shouldn’t be in danger here -  but there’s always a chance they are. And Olivier doesn’t like that chance. With Ellis next to him and the crowd around them, Olivier will be okay. Just….just Ellis better not let go of his hand. Or walk away. He better not. And he better get Olivier drunk. Very drunk. At the very least, not sober.

❝ oh-! well, you know, th-the usual shit. re-routing supplies, t-t-tracking down the other operations officers from coffee b—-b——-b-b-breaks to do their jobs. ❞ He rolls his eyes, but he’s at least actually smiling. ❝ i-i—i——i’m really gunning for quartermaster, if i–i–i could even be considered. i-i’d look good in the uniform. ❞

Ellis agreed wholeheartedly with Oliviers insistence on an open bar, quickly flagging down a bartender and ordering a round of drinks for the two of them. He hadn’t been in a relationship fake or otherwise since the Academy, and Olivier wasn’t the only one uncomfortable with this concept. At least it wasn’t real and they could walk away from it once this girl lost interest.

Pushing the others drink towards him, Ellis took a big sip from his own before glancing past Olivier to see if their pursuer was still there. Damn, there she was, but it looked like she might move away soon. Better keep up the act.

“You already look good, babe.” Ellis grinned, giving the other a sly wink. Flirting came easily to him, it helped that it wasn’t completely fake this time. “But you’d be a great quartermaster. I’m sure of it.”

[jrlixutxnant]

OLIVIER ( @olivierperrier​ )

❝ a–a-already tried that, n–n-n-n-no luck. ❞ Olivier sighed in response, then makes a face as he realized he had just admitted he’s been unsuccessfully trying to sleep. Ellis always managed to get him off-guard somehow. Well, if he’s going to still be awake it might as well be in better company.           ❝ come have a–a-a-a–a c-c-coffee with me? ❞

Part of his job as a comms officer was reading people. It was a very useful skill to have, especially now. “Fuck it, sure.” He sighed, nodding in Oliviers direction. “Think there’s a rec room nearby we could hang out in.”

OC STRUGGLES IN THE RPC

honestly writing an OC in this community is another set of issues.

the soul crushing feeling when you see “no OCs” in someones rules

constantly having to dumb down your canon

adjusting to adapted canons

the amount of your own canon and lore you have to sacrifice to do that

when you mention wanting to write a canon, people that have never shown any real interest in your OC jump out of the woodwork to encourage you to do it

when you do it, and that canon gets more attention than your OC ever did

the alternative of that: when your first character was canon and you transition to writing an OC, people suddenly disappear

fandom OCs that outgrow their fandoms and muns that feel they have nowhere to put them

endlessly worrying if your character is too sue-ish, even after x-amount of years

TRIPLE THAT IF YOU’RE PLAYING A FEMALE OC

oh my god female OCs need their own post

female OCs constantly being underestimated and dismissed; being held to a different set of standards than other OCs

honestly i know people that are straight up afraid to write a female OC for these reasons. they’re discouraged before they even start because they know they will never get the same acknowledgement

people assuming simple, stupid things about your muse (can we all agree to stop guessing whose muse is taller and just look from now on?)

feeling like you have to jump through hoops to keep up with everyone else and keep your character fresh and interesting so people don’t lose interest

canon blogs that shit on OCs– you realize you were OCs too right? what would the original writer of your canon think?

no seriously, it can be so discouraging writing an OC. how many ideas are you killing by snubbing OCs? the future of creative media is in our hands!

has someone stolen my canon?

is my canon too similar to someone else’s?

do they think i stole their canon?

and what do you do when somebody does steal your canon? it can be so hard to prove and it’s so easy for it to be dismissed

having your OC written off because of the face claim choice– that face is constantly typecast, nobody can take it seriously, they’ve been overplayed and ruined. (we love you, nina dobrev and 1D OCs, you’re doing gods work)

honestly, i’m sure i could keep going. if you ask your local OC muns, they’ll be able to tack a few of their own struggles onto this list. hell, i encourage you to!
