Okay this is the last one I promise. Look I’ll even let you choose.

Could you please do 14, 17, and 19 character asks with any DnD NPC.

Did I mention you’re the best DM ever???

I've crawled for miles and miles and yet these asks are an endless desert (I love you). Beware, absolute nothingburger of carefully worded breadcrumb answers below the readmore.

Character asks!

14. Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?

This is a sneaky question, Mill... I will be divulging no song answers at this time. I will say that A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 1 Scene 1 Lns 222-225 are very Crowfoot and Buttercup coded to me. "No point in keeping a trophy no one can see," "Well actually, you've been to the Feywild," "I would die without you," and "I always hear your voice" stand out to me as statements of motivation from NPCs... some of whom the party have met and some of whom are still waiting in the wings.

17. Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?

Most of the Seelie and Unseelie fey fall into this camp where there are deliberate motifs woven into their appearances, behaviors, etc. Vo and Crowfoot stand out to me as two in particular that have their domains interwoven into their appearances, though I can't elaborate on how. Mey/Lyra Windmaul is very evil eye coded to me (that's what the polka dots on her gloves are, though there isn't a good way to justify that in-world). Piper also strikes me as a mortal NPC shaped by her motifs, specifically as a foil to Fisher and an aasimar earth genasi.

19. What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

Piper's protectiveness and sense of justice. Fisher's big heart and willingness to give second (and third and fourth and fifth) chances. Jami's ambitions of grandeur (complimentary and derogatory).

[avelourcynic]

It’s blorbin time. Can you blorb all over the Character Ask Game 💫 again?

Your fav D&D NPC(s): 9 and 20

My FAVORITE NPCs??? Uh oh. This is asking the secret question of asking me to figure out who tf they are. Extra homework!!!!!

CHARACTER ASK GAME!!! 💫

9. Could you be roommates with this character? Me? Like me, avelourcynic, specifically? Uh....

YES:

Piper - rent is paid on time and we are trading off mutually beneficial meal prep <3

Mo - ideal himbo roommate <3 makes pancakes on a Saturday and is nice to your mom

Fred - ideal never-at-home roommate <3

Mouth - i am so uninteresting she cannot gossip about me but she can dish about everyone else to me, ideal situation; I get an open invite to her parties but do occasionally have to help clean up the morning after.

I COULD STOMACH IT FOR A YEAR IF RENT WAS GOOD:

Jami - neither of us would like it, but I think I could kick his ass

Olive and Park - we are not getting the deposit back <3

Komo - pros: good discussions and respectful, cons: flat fucking broke

Crowfoot - pros: nepo baby is paying both shares of our rent, cons: its Crowfoot

NO:

Fisher - she fucks too much ):

Fudge - we would have to break out a fucking chore chart because I would ask him to do his job and take out the trash and he'd be like "what do I get in return??" and I do not need that kind of man in my life. Please step into the dumpster with the trash.

Rosa - she cut my breaklines because I once ate something out of the fridge that was hers

Trib - he would open his mouth once and I would kill his ass instantly and spend the rest of my life in jail, happy and free

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter? This is all just fodder for your tomodatchis, isn't it, Squidward?

Trib - Mouth or Piper - he would benefit emotionally from someone more extroverted or social than him who would be nosy and judgemental about the poor decisions he is making <3 and provide feedback (such as: maybe don't fucking do that and eat a vegetable). Trib also complains to Rylla about his life more than an employer should. He considers them friends. She tolerates it.

Jami - Ella, Park, and Olive - they can only hang out as a set because Jami gets a little too intense one-on-one but having multiple semi-close friends I think is better for him than trying to put all his eggs in one basket (cough cough, like with [REDACTED]). I think the Redeem's are a stable enough triad on their own that Jami cannot manage to de-stabilize them. (Love wins)

Fisher - I do think Piper is a very good friend to her!! They are just a lil toxic right now!! They need to stop assuming what the other is thinking and talk to eachother!! But also I think that Fish and Nickel could get on really well and of course Fish gets on well with her sister!!

Piper - ditto above but also I think Piper, Ella, Mo, and Mey should start a bookclub <3 Vo and Bitty are invited but never attend, for different reasons.

Rosa - Pan but only if he has a loaded gun. Maybe Firstmourner or Toby??? In a different universe I think she and Fred would get on like a housefire and she and Hemia would get up to so many shenanigans. Saying Crystal would be too easy. It's more complicated than that.

Olive - I like Olive and Staid hanging out (: her third wheeling him and Old Boy would be especially funny, as I think they'd have a lot to chitter chat about. I also would love to see what nonsense Olive and Rooster get up to if left alone. (and of course she pairs off Park and El)

Mouth - I also like Mouth and Staid hanging out (: - For a NPC answer I'm gonna say Park, I think they are very strong activity-doers together and are always on to the next adventure. (On the Passing Wind, Mouth is tight with a lot of the crew but especially Baby, Spyglass, and Constitution)

Mo - Ella - but I will not be elaborating on why at this moment in time. Mwahaha!! In his travels, he's connected a bit with Fisher and Piper and sometimes helps Justice in the kitchen. Also they've never interacted I think but I think he and Crystal would have a lot to complain about together. (Also Fred, even if their relationship is kinda complicated right now)

Fred - weirdly, Fudge? - I think they have a yin-yang of give and take that keeps the other moving at exactly the right speed. Fred also gets on well with 3/4s of her sisters!! (Also Mo and Fisher, even if their relationship etc. etc.) Komo - I like Komo and Pan's relationship, even if their interactions have been in hyperspecific contexts - I also think Komo would be an excellent hire for the Almond Valley Book Shop. (:

Crowfoot - again, weirdly, Fudge? - in a rivals-to-besties way? In a parallel universe that is at least four jumps away, Crowfoot and Rosa went to finishing school together and are super tight. Crowfoot and Buttercup are everything to me but I wouldn't call them friends. It's more like I specifically want to put them in a blender together.

Fudge - already has a best friend. Don't worry about it!! (:

🎵 for poppy, miranda, and buttercup <3

🌹Lieutenant Poppy Greenhill

🎵 Hum Hallelujah by Fall Out Boy

Poppy is a punk ass little shit who found her calling killing things and taking orders in the army. Until some divine a-hole decided they were her calling. She loves fiercely and to a fault. She's looking for something, and probably won't know she's found it until she's lost it.

Everyone else below the cut!

👻 Miranda Ridgemont

🎵 You Are My Sunshine by Johnny Cash

Oh boy. I think Miranda hums this to herself whenever she's feeling particularly lonely. The association between Lanthander (god of dawn/her god) and the loss of Yven (her lover) gives her comfort like booze does for an alcoholic. A soft ditty that stabs through her dead heart with every line.

🏵 Buttercup the GOAT

🎵 Picture You by Chappell Roan

I feel like this one isn't sung from Buttercup's point of view, but the "mirror's". Buttercup is doing the actions, but not aware she's being watched while doing it. The subject of voyerism both as a kept pet and under the eyes of the Gods and the Courts.

Bonus!

🦅 Melody "Valkyrie" Steadman

🎵 Squeez by Shawn Wasabi and Raychel Jay

Melody likes using music to be flirty. She can dance and flirt with the cameras as a prohero keeping her and All Might's relationship secret while still flirting in public. It's up to him to keep a smile and not stare. Not to say she won't repeat her performance for him behind closed doors.

[moderndayshinigami]

Soft OC asks, please!!

Poppy - 21, 33; Miranda - 5, 7; Buttercup - 3,31; Melody - 8, 11

Soft OCs because I like putting them in the blender. 🦅🐐👻🌺

🌺 Poppy 🌺

21) What is their dream date?

Poppy would love to go on an evening picnic. Set up in the late afternoon, eat and watch the sunset, watch the stars and talk... or do other things ;)

33) Favorite room in their home.

Poppy loves her parents' kitchen. It's where her family ate, where she fought with her brothers, where she helped her mom cook and preserve things. When she says "home" that's what she means.

👻 Miranda 👻

5) Do they have any collections?

Miranda collects tattoos! They're memories of her friends and loved ones

7) How would Miranda describe herself?

Well. Before... the Incident. I had blond hair that i usually kept up and out of the way. Slight frame, tanned skin from working outside with the other acoyltes. I didn't think much of it, but Yven always described my eyes as green as a sunlit glade. They always had a way with words. Now, everything is a little less saturated. Grey. But. I'm working on bringing color back into my life.

🐐 Buttercup 🐐

3) Secret passion?

Buttercup secretly enjoys weaving. She spent a lot of time as a kid weaving grasses and flowers into little baskets and crowns.

31) If they could have a pet, what would it be?

I think Buttercup would have a bird. Something she could talk to and teach how to swear

🦅 Melody 🦅

8) Described by the author

Melody Diana "Valkyrie" Steadman would not be considered tall by anyone's standards, except those who ran the Japanese Hero Billboard association. She flicked her long dark braid over her shoulder and glanced up at Toshinori.

"I'm 5'4". There is no way I'm tall. Especially next to you!"

He glanced down from his 7'3" height, brushing her bangs back. He grinned wider, hoisting her up to his shoulder.

"Maybe they consider you tall from perching on me so often Pigeon,"

She pursed her lips and released her wings, rustling the golden feathers and rolling her double stacked shoulder blades. He chuckled as the tips of them tickled his ankles.

"Ready to go to work?" She sighed. He laughed and offered a hand for her to step into. He tossed her up, letting her wings catch the wind. He watched her red hero costume reflect off the Tokyo skyscrapers before following.

11) Favorite thing their partner has said to them?

Melody's favorite thing Toshinori has said to her: "I've got you, Pigeon" while pulling her from a collasped building.

Her favorite thing Danny has said to her: "I couldn't be me without you" after dramatically returning after her disappearance.

[moderndayshinigami]

hohohoho! for soft oc asks could I please get:

Poppy: 4, 12, 30

Miranda: 14, 15, 22

Buttercup: 2, 21, 26

with a side of fries. thank you!

Order up! 🧋🍲🎂🍟

Poppy🌺🧋

4) a deeply important item, and it's significance?

Poppy has a small teddy bear that she's carried through the entire campaign. Her brothers (Popular, Paduk, Persimmon and Pine) pooled their cash and bought it for her for her first winter solstice. She's dragged this thing half way across the continent and back and through 5 levels of Hell.

12) What's the sweetest thing they've ever said to their partner?

Poppy isn't the best with words, but the sweetest thing she's done was make a ring for Myra (her illusionist pirate girlfriend) that featured a blue diamond with a flaw that looked like a wave, fools gold, and amber (for honey).

30) Favorite animal

Poppy likes cows. She grew up near several cow farms surrounding her parents' orchard. She and her brothers used to ride their dairy cow into town too. 🐮

Miranda 👻🍲

14) Something they adore?

Miranda loves a good story teller. Yven used to tell her stories of their travels and Rabbit is always full of tales, even if she was involved in the creation of the tale.

15) Preferred outfit?

Miranda doesn't change outfits often. She likes a soft, practical dress, but also wishes more and more as she travels for something. A little fancy.

22) Do they have a best friend?

I think Miranda thinks of Rabbit as her best friend. Before them... Yven. They called themself "Friend" after all.

Buttercup 🐐🎂

2) Favorite comfort food?

Grass. No, lol. Honeycomb. It was a treat her family gave her when she was upset as a child.

21) Dream date?

I honestly don't think Buttercup knows what a date is. So I'm going to say the Spring Equinox.

26) What do they love about their friends?

Pan - she loves their innocence and love of plants. It reminds her of her cousins in the circle of the glade. They were in charge of growing the plants in the glade.

Staid - Buttercup loves making him nervous. She finds it funny. She doesn't intend to be mean about it though.

Crystal - She likes when Crystal relaxes and plays along. She's about to convince herself they actually are married because it makes Crystal play with her.

And a side of fries - Melody 🦅🍟 (MHA OC)

17) Sleeping position when they're on their own?

Melody usually sleeps on her stomach, wings out, whether or not someone is underneath her. She will also sleep on her side, if most of her wings stay on the bed.

24) Favorite place to be kissed?

Melody loves a good forehead/top of the head kiss.

34) What do they taste like when kissed?

Depends on when and where. Morning/mouth= morning breath lol. Skin - usually sweat and dust from work. The artistic interpretation? Gum. Probably a shitty camdy gum ball. Occasionally minty.

Heyyyyy it’s meeeee da devil

As the DM it is your right to not answer any or all of these but please consider:

62 for Fisher

84 for Toby

76 for Crowfoot

1 for Rosa

🤡100 Silly OC Questions Ask Game

Rosa - 1. How many full-sized pickles could they eat, if forced to eat as many as possible? This is such a complicated question, because she absolutely does not want to eat a food as icky as pickles but she is now caught in a pickle Catch-22 because she has to be the person capable of eating the most pickles as long as it could be perceived as advantageous or would make her feel superior. That is to say, while she would get a tummy ache at 12 and be at active risk of vomiting at 18, Rosa would eat as many pickles as it takes to win or as many pickles as Crystal can eat and then one more. Trib - 17. How easy is it to catch them cheating at a game? No, you will not trick me into revealing his deception modifier. Fey Courts are ever shifting and I think there is a societal skill to having the capacity to cheat, especially as each fey thinks of themselves as the guile protagonist of their own odyssey (it's exhausting). I think on the spectrum between having the stealth to get away quietly with a scheme that favors him and the audacity to flaunt breaking the rules, he lands solidly towards the latter.

Duck - 44. Would they do numbers on Tumblr? Bonus: what’s their URL? Sure, if those numbers are double digits at most. Maybe on bandblr? I think he's perpetually angry that his nuanced lyrical analysis posts or original content are less popular than more fan-focused content. My pitch for a URL would be something edgy like dog-bites-back but in reality his preferred catchy URL was definitely taken, so his URL is like a character limit length lyric all smushed together. I could also see him preferring being a mod on a niche subreddit and going MAD with power.

Aldo - 45. How would they get #cancelled on social media? He is, imho, the cybersmith of Equinox. It's not a matter of if he gets cancelled but when. This bitch is dropping horrendous things he's done on forums as if they are normal. He cannot take no for an answer ever. He is always rising to ragebait. He is getting call out posts for how often he makes call out posts. He has at least seven stories on AITA that paint him so solidly as the asshole and are entirely unbelievable but people can't manage to figure out why if he made them up for clout he can't manage to lie to make himself look better. Rooster - 53. Would they own a pair of Heeley’s? YES.

Fisher - 62. How long would they last in a 5-star restaurant before getting kicked out? Oooh. Good question. Depends on why she's there. She was raised in high society life for a non-negligible part of her childhood, so she knows how to use all the fancy silverware and how to behave with a sense of decorum. She could make it through a meal if she wanted to, but she's making a huge scene three minutes after she sees a patron or manager berate or slight a server who can't defend themselves back. Retaliation ranges from artfully spilling something on the aggressor in question to finding a way to cause an emergency evacuation of the entire restaurant.

Crowfoot - 76. Would they fall for tourist traps while on vacation? No. I don't think so. I think if they were traveling with a friend or lover and wanted to be indulgent, they could be dragged along but it's not something that appeals to her normally.

Mey - 83. They’re left alone in a room with a whiteboard and ample colored markers. What happens next? She takes a nap. She's so tired. Someone else can go Pepe Silvia sicko mode.

Toby - 84. Do they feel guilty for walking around a store and leaving without buying anything? How easily would they crack under a sales pitch on the way out the door? He doesn't feel guilty for walking around a store: fuck corporations and the man. Even Mom and Pop shops know what they were getting into when they opened a business and there is an acceptable margin of loss. However, he would crack under a doorknob sales pitch depending on the technique used. While he likes to believe he's a man of logic, he is an exceptionally emotional creature at his core. I don't know yet what the Equinox equivalent of a Girl Scout Cookie is, but he has bought so many of them.

[moderndayshinigami]

If desired, please expand upon COD gamer Miranda. Who got her into it or why did she first start playing? Does she play with other people--like Yven or Fred or Saga? I've got like half an AU bouncing around my brain now but want to see if you have any more vision from the silly question.

I think Miranda would have gotten into COD after seeing someone else play it. Probably like Drasmond and Fred and when she wasnt sleeping one night she booted up her ancient PC and made an account. She got killed immediately and took it personally. She has since upgraded her machine and gotten really into MtnDew Code Red.

She usually only plays at night and has learned Hindi but only in relation to the game. (Did you know the second highest number of downloads of COD is India). Her gamer tag is 100% xX_Horse_Destroyer169_Xx
