I love that one of your characters is called Valetta! How did you settle on that name? If you don't mind me asking that is!

I don't mind at all! Thanks for the ask!

It actually came from a customer I met at work. (which I know isn't exciting lol) I think it was during the first few weeks I was piecing together ideas for Time Borrowed, and she came in and had the best high energy and was so kind! Which, working retail at the time was a rarity.

But she told me her name and I just instantly fell in love with it! And it just matched her energy from how it sounded. Was instantly a name I wanted to use, which usually I have the character before the name, but this kinda happened in reverse.

But I'm glad you like it too! Thank you!!☺

Some ladies for you!

Neptune (They/she)

Alicia (she/her)

Neptune: vibes of someone who has a lot of crystals and plants in their apartment, and owns at least one deck of tarot cards but probably more.

I would say someone who's fairly smart, and fun to hang out with, but maybe occasionally says unsettling things? Good fashion sense, probably a night owl.

Alicia: vibes of someone who's pretty healthy, not really a health nut per se, but likes to do light exercise and drinks a lot of smoothies.

My guess is a calmer and more down-to-earth personality, seems quiet but doesn't shy away from a challenge, has a strong willpower and ability to see things through in her own way.

Find the Word Tag

Second try after Tumblr decided to give me a blank page in the middle of doing this post again <.<…

Thanks for tagging me @asher-writes 💕💕

My words were: odd, new, guess/ed, tired, rub, sigh

odd: (P&S, P.I., Case 2 (Case 1 being “Come Back with me” on AO3), HP-TW-Crossover, Steter, Snarry, 1st draft) - this is actually the only instance of “odd” I could find in my WIPs! I guess I’m more used to using ‘weird’ instead <.<…

Netflix and food. He snorted slightly at the intonation of ‘Netflix and chill’ in his evening plans especially since the thought about Peter wanting to Netflix and chill with him still was not only odd but highly unlikely - not to mention his own preferences being as they were. But he would see, what the night would bring. A few minutes later they brought the ringing doorbell and Peter standing outside, paper bag that smelled heavenly like food in hand. Stiles had opened the door for him but couldn’t help eying the man slightly irritated. “…I still don’t know why you’re here and what you did with the real Peter Hale, but do come in. Curly fries are almost as good as a key to this house,” he said slightly sarcastically, stepping aside to let Peter in, waving him in the direction of the TV.

new: (Sorry, not Sorry, TW, Steter, 1st draft)

“So your whole family are werewolves?” Stiles of course had more questions and Talia started to answer some of them while Peter let his teeth and claws vanish and stepped back behind Talia. It was interesting to see how Stiles reacted to the new informations. He certainly didn’t react the way Talia and he had thought. He was more earnest, more curious but still serious. He absorbed the knowledge like a sponge and promised not to tell anyone. Not that they could really keep him from telling anyone. They would have needed an emissary for that and since Deaton’s failure to keep their wards stable and their house safe Talia hadn’t trusted other emissaries anymore. Not that he could blame her. So by now they contracted different magic users to do work for them until Talia one day would find an emissary she trusted. Not exactly the choice Peter would have made but Talia was the alpha and he had voiced his concerns. If she decided to ignore them, the only thing he could do was prepare for an eventual emergency.

guess/ed: (Blue Moon, TW, Steter, 1st draft)

But instead of the accusing or provoking words he anticipated, or even a biting answer to his neutral tone, Peter lifted the flower bouquet up and held it towards him. “I’m sorry.” Stiles stared at him, completely baffled. “You… what?” “I said I’m sorry, Stiles,” Peter repeated quietly, his face neutral, unreadable mask. Stiles still didn’t understand. Not after how the day before had ended. He shook his head lightly and looked back to Peter. “…that’s… nice to hear, I guess, but you can’t just- you know, no. You can’t just appear here after making me feel like a complete idiot and just tell me you’re sorry and expect everything to be alright again. I’m no puppet that you can just take out if you want to play with it, Peter!” Stiles shook his head again, crossing his arms in front of his chest, not only to show Peter the cold shoulder but also to keep himself from reaching for the beautiful flowers. “I want an explanation. And then you can tell me what exactly you are sorry for. And if I believe your apology this time then, maybe, we can be friends. But anything else is off the table for the foreseeable future, do you understand?” “Alright.”

tired: (Blue Moon, TW, Steter, 1st draft)

When he opened the café in the evening, he didn’t really feel awake at all. That was one of the reasons he hated his sleeping droughts. He needed way longer to feel awake after waking from a drought-induced sleep. But at least he’d gotten around seven hours of sleep even though that meant he was only awake for about two hours by now. He just was glad that he hadn’t gotten one of his grocery deliveries for the shop today. Being tired didn’t help with inspecting the ingredients for their freshness and quality.

rub(bed): (Living, Learning, Loving, Shadowhunters, Malec, 1st draft)

“I can hear that. You’re completely gone, aren’t you, Meg?” Her voice had gotten softer, warmer and Magnus had to smile. He knew his friends had endured a lot for him and his crushes, but with Alexander it felt different. It felt like more. “A bit maybe… strike that, I’m head over heels,” he admitted with a slightly breathless laugh as he rubbed his hand over his face. “And he’s completely human, Cat. He’s the most precious man I’ve ever met and he is a damn human. You know that I don’t care for race or anything, but-“ “But he will be gone someday?” “Yes…” There was silence on the other end of the line and this time it was Magnus who sighed.

sigh(ing): (Sorry, not Sorry, TW, Steter, 1st draft)

“Well that might not be far from it,” Professor Hale finally said, sighing and folding her hands on the desk before her. “Mr. Stilinski… Stiles” Stiles swallowed as she changed to his first name. “Please, tell me what you have told Peter about the night of the fire. I want the whole story. Even the bits you left out with him.” Stiles couldn’t help the slight flinch at her words though he already shook his head. “I didn’t leave out anything. At least I don’t think I did. I ran away from home and into the woods. Suddenly there was a light, a glow in the distance and I walked towards it because I’m a curious busybody. I saw the fire through the trees and heard screaming. And I saw someone trying to get out of the open door, but they… couldn’t. I wanted to help and heard someone shouting something about a line of ash. I could see the line, so I got closer, scattered part of the line and when people started coming out of the house I ran home because I wanted to get my father to help.” He shrugged and waved his hand vaguely in one direction. “That’s all. Nothing else. I just wanted to help and If you say I did by kicking some ash - however that worked - I’m glad.”

Conclusion of the day: My characters definitely nod too often 😂😂😂 I at least found a lot of "nodded" instead of "odd"...

Soo, new words for everyone! New words are: careful, intense, low, before, caress

And I'm gonna low pressure tag anyone who wants to and

🗯️🗑️🤝For the writeblr ask game!

🗯️What do you think is the most divisive or controversial aspect to your WIP?

(Who You Are At Night) The trio's Worst Times - the monumentally horrific event in each of their lives that completely diverted their paths in life. This is one of the reasons it's taking so long to post the first chapter. Each of the women has a unique trauma that still affects them to this day, and I want to make sure I handle each of them with the sensitivity and care that they deserve.

“Stop,” Mariana said. “You’re so much better than a lemur. You just haven’t been to a tournament in forever.”

“Exactly,” Holly said. “It’s natural there would be some kinks to work out.”

Evie snickered in spite of her ranting. “Do you have to bring up kinks in every sentence, Hol?”

“Obviously,” Holly said, tilting the screen of her tablet so Evie could see.

“Oh damn, girl,” Evie said, taking the tablet from her. “I don’t think you drew Gaara’s dick big enough.”

Holly shrugged. “This weekend was awful and I need comfort.”

“How would that be comfortable?”

For any OC you feel like talking about today :) :

🍁Where does your OC go when they need to have some time to themself? Would they ever have their own “comfort corner” filled with all the things they like? Do they have a favourite spot outside that feels like its theirs and theirs alone?

and

🌾 Describe your OC through the eyes of someone absolutely head-over-heels in love with them

Awww! Thanks so much for the question, @asher-writes! And the open choice xD

I think I‘m gonna write about Anton Asper. I don’t think I’ve mentioned him yet, he‘s one of the main characters of my current original story :3 he‘s not a POV-character though. His partner Sasha Weber is.

Since this post got rather long… more unter the cut xD

Anton is a potions master and a very secretive man. He‘s in his mid 50ies and owns a shop together with Sasha which mostly sells a lot of books - non-magical in the front and magical in the back - as well as his potions and charms and other spellcraft-y stuff that Sascha works on.

Both of them have a certain reputation thanks to them being „war heroes“ for defeating a dark lord about two decades prior. (Sascha was seen as „the chosen one“, Anton was one of his teachers and allies at the time) So there is a certain public opinion (and pressure) on Anton he does like to avoid.

🍁 Where does your OC go when they need to have some time to themself? Would they ever have their own “comfort corner” filled with all the things they like? Do they have a favourite spot outside that feels like its theirs and theirs alone?

Anton‘s place of comfort is his potions lab. He can close out people and opinions and concentrate on creating and fiddling and experimenting with his potions. While he does like to be alone there he also likes having Sascha with him since his partner a) can actually be silent if he wants to and working silently next to each other is one of Anton’s favourite pastimes and b) Sascha is just as intelligent and creative as Anton himself - just in different aspects. They often end up testing combinations of Anton‘s potions to Sascha‘s creations and sometimes Anton even pauses with making potions to just work on one of Sascha‘s projects (or vice versa for that matter).

His outside comfort place is everywhere he has his peace - alone or with Sascha - and the possibility to find herbs and other ingredients, may it be his own roof garden where he grows his most used herbs or anywhere else in the world.

🌾 Describe your OC through the eyes of someone absolutely head-over-heels in love with them

… that would be from Sascha‘s eyes then xD alright, let’s let him have the stage, huh? ;D

Sascha: „Well, Toni‘s gorgeous, for one! I love his graceful movement, all confident and sure. He can be very imposing and when I met him the first time I felt absolutely intimidated by his dark eyes, dark hair and light skin. It took a while to see him laugh at all which happened mostly after the war when we started to get to know each other as friends and not only as… people on the same side fighting for the same cause. I’m proud to say that his crow‘s feet by now are mostly from smiling and laughing instead of the scowls and frowns he used to wear around his students. He‘s still very light skinned even though I actually got him to take a few weeks off with me over the years so he didn’t see as much of his potions lab in those days, but his skin doesn’t keep the darker colour very well. He always has to be careful about sunburn, too. And don’t tell him I told you about the adorable freckles that appear when his skin gets darker - he always denies to have any! Toni’s still rather self-conscious about his nose and I’m still sad that me and my peers didn’t help any with that when I was in my teens. Though I do like the shape of it even if it’s crooked and a bit too large - a lot of space to press kisses to! Toni also liked to keep his hair about shoulder length to keep it out of his face while working, though by now he keeps it a bit longer - in a low ponytail when working - because he likes me playing with his hair in the evening. And I love letting my fingers glide through his hair, too, it’s so silky and soft! And on the topics of fingers, uhh… I love Toni’s fingers- hands! I meant hands! Well… both I guess? They are longer than mine and just as graceful as the rest of him. Watching him cut herbs and other things is… uh… not very helpful when I try to keep my head on work related topics! Otherwise… hm. I think he looks gorgeous in everything he wears though I mostly see him in his robes since those protect him from potions spills etc. At home we mostly like to lounge in comfortable wear that’s not clinging as much to one’s body. Though when we go out he does strike a handsome figure in slacks - mostly dark of course - and simple shirts. He does like to roll up his sleeves a lot - he’s mostly used to about elbow-length sleeves due to his work robes - and well. You won’t hear me complain about that!“

So much to Sascha‘s description of Anton/Toni xD…

Hope you liked the answers and thanks again for the questions!
