xuan and io for the dynamics? 👀👀👀

[Send two names of my OCs and I’ll give a summary of what they think of each other!]

MY TWO FAVOURITES ALSO HAVE A FAVOURITE DYNAMIC OF MINE :D This dynamic VASTLY changes depending on where we are in canon, so I'll make one based on their first impressions to avoid spoilers!

What Captain Io thinks of Captain Xuân (initially):

Io is a high-ranking captain of the British Royal Navy, what do you think her opinion is of a chaotically unpredictable, infamously violent pirate captain?

Io hasn't really met Xuân before, so her opinion is based solely on rumours and propaganda: to her, Xuân is an insane fiend with a terrible love of unnecessarily killing and torturing people, and an overly tacky obsession with hoarding treasure.

Xuân also seems to her to be highly immature and childish despite the act of formality and suave confidence they put on--an act Io doesn't believe in the least.

Io isn't scared of Xuân at all, except in the unlikely (but canon) situation were she is left injured and completely defenseless in front of them.

What Captain Xuân thinks of Captain Io (initially):

How in Forest's name was this pretentious spoiled brat actually close to my previous friend what the f*ck kind of pufferfish toxin was she on

Okay really though this kid was just seriously neglected I'm gonna punch your dad to the stars when we find him

Xuân can't help but think of Io as a little emotionally stunted child because their own aging was super weird and they can tell there's some magic shenanigans at work here too.

And then immediately they want to protecc and keep safe the child

Unfortunately they also constantly forget Io exists so uh. That does not happen very much. :S

ALSO Xuân is still trying to keep up the pretense that they're really just holding Io hostage and being a mean villain as the rumours say they are so... their interactions are Exceedingly Odd at first.

ANYWAYS I LOVE THEM BOTH. There's definitely a mutual respect (and begrudging friendship!!!) later on but aside from that I shall leave the rest for when you read the story :D

tagged by the lovely @absolute-nonsense-scribblings, than you!!💖💖

my last line is from Romantics (still haven’t introduced it, I really should)

"But on a more serious level, I don't have a type. I don't really care what someone looks like, as long as they don't stink too much."

"So you pay more attention to character?"

"For god's sake, I don't pay attention to character. That would be extremely hypocritical of me. No, I'm more into..pulse."

🖊 for whoever has the first line of dialogue in the last chapter you wrote/edited!

hi!

ok so the first line of dialogue in my last completed chapter is anna’s, but i feel like i talk about her plenty already, so i’m going with the chapter i have in progress, in which the first line of dialogue belongs to mrs. kittredge!

ok so what i have for her in terms of backstory is a pretty standard period-appropriate upper class upbringing. 

born to a wealthy family in february of 1861, margaret sterling was married to joseph lawrence kittredge at age nineteen in 1880. her eldest son, lawrence sterling (larry’s father) was born in 1881, followed by two daughters, martha and and louise, in 1883 and 1884 respectively and, finally, joseph thomas (margaret’s father) in 1886. although mrs. kittredge, in her old age, was widely feared by her relatives and thought of as tough and uncompromising, it wasn’t always so. in her youth, she was often the life of the party, a kind and generous soul beloved by all. this would begin to change shortly after her marriage, but the shift would happen gradually. the life of a society housewife is a difficult one, and it takes a will of steel to withstand its pressures. mrs. kittredge, determined not to bring dishonor upon the family, became what she needed to be. this would come to be a defining aspect of who she was as a person: she would do whatever it took, be whoever she needed to be, to get what she wanted. her husband died in 1906, and she mourned him in the standard fashion, never marrying again. by the time her eldest son and his wife died in 1927, mrs. kittredge was 66 years old and the armor she had built over the years was strong enough that she didn’t seem to be all that affected by it – something which her newly orphaned grandson, lawrence jr., greatly resented. he and his grandmother and never been close, but form then on, the rift between them would widen to the point of no return. her grandson and namesake, margaret, was terrified of her from childhood, never realizing that she and her grandmother had more in common than anyone suspected: both were tough as nails, spirited, and willing to accept what they saw as their duty. perhaps that was why mrs. kittredge had never liked peggy, as the family called her: in her granddaughter she saw a younger version of herself, and perhaps she resented he fact that peggy might get the chance to live a happier life than she had.

thank you!!

(send me a “🖊+an oc“ and i will talk about that oc! It can be a headcanon, a fun fact, a small paragraph of backstory- anything!)

sapphire, spinel, and beryl for the gemstone asks?

Sapphire - Which character do you have the easiest time writing right now and why?

I think that is and will always be Fox from Starlight & Ashes. No matter what is going on with this character (I hesitate to use pronouns, because their gender has switched a few times), I can always get inside their head really easily.

Spinel - Which character is the most likely to burn the world down?

Ace from Project Hero (WIP intro to come). She is absolutely wild, doesn’t have any inhibitions, and definitely doesn’t care whether people live or die.

Beryl - Which character really likes color? Do they have a specific combination of colors or a spectrum of color they adore?

Quin from Project Hero. She doesn’t have much time to delve into color the way that she wants to, but she uses it in her cross stitch and crochet, which she uses to calm herself.

hi hi! writeblr community ask time~! what's the most ridiculous thing an oc has done recently?

Scribbles, hi! Sorry this took so long. 

It’s gotta be Lena deciding to go on a year and a half long road trip because she was bored and then pressuring her closest friends into coming with her.
