1 and 15 for the ask game!

I just answered #1, but--

15. time for shameless self-promotion! answer with a piece of writing you want others to see/read!

May I direct you to this post? It's a snippet from my recently-first-drafted scifi novel FLOAT, about amnesiac survivors on an alien oceanic planet. It's got it all -- River adjusting to the idea of being on a new planet, some banter with Aspen, some shapeshifting! Good stuff.

And it's from early enough in the book that all you really need to know is 1. Aspen runs a galleon and 2. River is a shapeshifter (although she doesn't know why or how!).

14 and 24 for end of year ask

14.) I just did this one, but I unfortunately didn't read much this year because there was a lot of life and job stuff going on. Legends & Lattes and Don't Want You Like A Best Friend were two highlights for me.

24.) I didn't keep my New Year's Resolution, which was hilariously to read more. Better luck next year, I suppose.

🥒 - Do you speak multiple languages?

I speak some French and Spanish, and know a little ASL. I need to get back to learning. I have Duolingo and Babbel, even lol.

Oc ask game: the personality section for an oc of your choice

the whole thing? [from this ask game]

well, it'll be a good challenge. i'll pick lucian because i need to work on his character a bit more. anything that's a spoiler or too close to plot elements I'll skip.

---

🏙 Do they prefer rural or urban environments?

Urban. They grew up in a city and moved into cities. They love to visit other places though and feel most comfortable with the ambient noises of people living in cities.

🚪Are they introverted or extroverted?

I would say they're pretty good mix, with introversion being slightly more prominent. When they're around other people they tend to be more extroverted most of the time.

💤 What's their sleep schedule like?

It's pretty shitty, tbh. They've got two jobs, once of which holds very irregular hours and he's on call for most of the time. His other job at a bookstore holds pretty regular hours but he works instead of sleeping or resting. Good sleep schedules and Lucian haven't heard of each other.

🍽 What's their favorite flavor or dish?

Lucian most enjoys their mother's specialty dish. Other people on their home planet make it regularly since it is a dish deeply rooted into their culture, but they prefer their mother's recipe.

🦠 Do they get sick easily or is their immune system stronger?

They have a pretty strong immune system since their home planet's atmosphere holds special chemicals that Earth's doesn't.

🏀 Have they played sports? What are they best at?

They enjoy snowboarding, boxing, hiking, and parkour. They're best at boxing since they've trained their body to withstand and dole out strong hits (along with the benefit of super strength of course) but they're getting pretty good at snowboarding. They have teleportation as a superpower so I'm hesitant to say they're naturally good at parkour. It does make for some wicked parkour videos though...

🪡 How's the homeliness? Can they consistently do things like thread a needle?

He wasn't taught much housekeeping and tends to watch tutorial videos or ask his neighbor for help for tasks like what chemical to use to clean certain materials. His parents taught him to maintain cleanliness but Earth's culture and his lifestyle keep him busy and working so the cleanliness isn't as big as a priority as it normally would be. He knows his parents and people at home would be disappointed in him but he's way too busy and exhausted to change anything.

🍳 Can they cook?

They often either buy pre-made meals or eat at restaurants. Lucian can cook but it's very average and tends to be bland.

🎵 Favorite genre of music?

indie rock mainly, but they can't get enough of indie music in general.

💍 Do they wear jewelry? Watches? Etc?

They wear necklaces, rings, earrings, hair clips and pins, hairbands, and so much more. Accessorizing is totally his thing, along with some jewelry pieces being a very important part of his home's culture.

☔️ Do they like the rain?

Not really. It doesn't rain on their home planet, so it's very strange to them. They're used to it after years of living on Earth but sudden storms startle them.

🍂 Favorite season?

He enjoys fall and winter the best. They're the best for layering up on clothing and the chill feels nice to him. He also enjoys the winter activities and sports much more than summer's.

👥 Are they good at socializing? How much do they talk?

They're quite good at socializing. When they were going through media training at their hero job, their trainers realized that he's quite good at clever and half responses. He tends to be truthful and often has a very honest and open look on his face but that can be deceiving. Otherwise, he's a friendly guy and will chat with everyone around him unless he's having a bad day. Some people say he's very chatty but most people will say he's very friendly and will listen to and include everyone around him in conversations.

thanks for the ask!

For the songs do your age and birthday (eg. The 25 th)

Ooh nice idea, thanks. I'll let you guess which one is my age :P

15. A song that is a cover by another artist- Taylor Swift's cover of 'Riptide' by Vance Joy is my favourite thing ever

10. A song that makes you sad- 'Fix You' by Coldplay literally always makes me cry

Super hard but super fun music asks

[skookumthesamoyed]

I absolutely lost it (with laughter) when you made the Orphan Black reference to your dog. Since you already called dibs on Cosima-Skookum, can I have Allison-Skookum?

Totally! I think Allison-Skookum would be a nice one too, probably a little more put together and self-controlled… albeit with potential bouts of doggie valium abuse, but still a great dog ;)

I would love to think that original Skook is the Sarah, when he is likely the Helena - very unpredictable moods, sometimes does terrible things but then doesn’t understand why you’re mad, but ultimately a good soul who just wants to belong… not that I’ve thought about this or anything :D

Plus he’s got dem crazy eyes
