today i offer u a general dara to celebrate the atoc update😔🤲

[raymondshieldsofficial]

Which of your OCs would get on best on a pirate ship, which one would crumple like a wet paper towel, which OC would demand to be transferred to the gay pirate ship that sailed past them a few days ago?

oooh okay so!! best would be Rachel for SURE she just has that about her. she loves to fight. she loves crime. she's sexy. she's a perfect pirate. Dara would also do very very well, he also likes crime, but he would miss his wife, he is a wife guy at heart

Nye would crumple so much he would just start crying immediately. I love him but he is not built for conflict. he cries when his chickens peck each other. he can't handle this

James wants in on the gay pirate ship So Much. he does. he doesn't want to be at sea at all but he at least wants to be wearing a silk robe while he's throwing up over the side of the boat

Dara……….

[raymondshieldsofficial]

What, if anything, would push Dara to kill? Would he ever turn on his wife? What’s his favourite thing to get at a restaurant? Was he happier before or after becoming a vampire, irrespective of mafia? What would he have done with his life if he hadn’t joined them?

you mean, other than his job, what would make him kill on impulse? if someone hurt his wife or kids, he genuinely wouldn’t hesitate

he wouldn’t turn on his wife, ever, he would take his own life before he turned on her, and he’d do so sooner than admitting that she’s done anything wrong, ever,

he likes lamb with mint sauce and asparagus, if he can get that anywhere then he’s Very happy! that, with a nice gin and tonic or a red wine!

he was happier after, because it was the proper new start he really wanted after everything that happened - he felt like it was his choice, and felt more in control of everything that happened after,

if he hadn’t joined them, he’d probably end up in prison for conspiring against his brother anyway, just he wouldn’t be anyone important about it. Dara wanting away from Finian is kind of constant, he’s always felt overshadowed by him,

Finian Dara Nye?

:O THREE!!! I will put them under a readmore thing:

Finian

Full Name: Finian Oisin Murphy Gender and Sexuality: bi man Pronouns: he/him Ethnicity/Species: human, Irish Birthplace and Birthdate: County Kilkenny, the exact time and date is unknown to me! Guilty Pleasures: it sounds strange but he loves balloons. balloon animals specifically. every time he sees a balloon salesman he has to say to himself "Finian. you are a grown adult. these are not for you" Phobias: break-ins and carbon monoxide poisoning What They Would Be Famous For: his alchemy, and his poker playing What They Would Get Arrested For: his alchemy, if the wrong people found out about it OC You Ship Them With: your OC, Deva <3 OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Dara, probably, or any of his in-laws Favorite Movie/Book Genre: he likes historical dramas! Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: anything that makes the mob look cool, he doesn't like the Cool Mob thing Talents and/or Powers: he knows how to use magic and is pretty good at it! he's also very very good at poker, in as much as someone can be Why Someone Might Love Them: he's passionate about what he believes in, he's funny, straightforward, and has very soft hair Why Someone Might Hate Them: well he does marry a prince. hatred of the monarchy is hatred of him! How They Change: well, he (usually) stops going out and starting bar brawls! he learns a lot about how to be a prince, and sorts himself out a bit, kind of like in Cinderella 3, and he gets more involved in the politics of the country, that sort of thing, Why You Love Them: I have a lot of fun writing him and his screwed up family dynamic! also I really enjoy his personality and thinking about him learning the royal stuff!

Dara

Full Name: Dara Seamus Murphy Gender and Sexuality: bi man (just like Finian) Pronouns: he/him Ethnicity/Species: originally an Irish human, later vampire Birthplace and Birthdate: County Kilkenny, 5 years after whenever Finian is born! Guilty Pleasures: folk dancing - it's only a guilty one because it isn't what his in-laws or mafia associates expect from him, he thinks, Phobias: clowns, and the dark, when he was younger What They Would Be Famous For: he married the Head of the Family's daughter, so he's pretty well-known as is! What They Would Get Arrested For: one of the many, many crimes he's committed OC You Ship Them With: Eufemia, his wife who genuinely loves him very much!! OC Most Likely To Murder Them: honestly, Finian Favorite Movie/Book Genre: gothic literature, whatever that is. stuff like Wuthering Heights Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: where the fancy parties get broken into and things get destroyed Talents and/or Powers: standard vampire fare, plus he's a genuinely good dancer Why Someone Might Love Them: he's sweet and kind when he wants to be, though he's also assertive enough and stands up for people he cares about, and he's always been that way Why Someone Might Hate Them: he has done a lot of objectively Not Good things How They Change: he's probably the definition of "I can make him worse" because that is literally very much what happened! he joins the mob yes but he's much, much happier that way, too, and he genuinely believes in the projects they fund Why You Love Them: his entire character is just very enjoyable to me, and I also love how much he loves his wife,,

Nye

Full Name: Aneurin Gwyn Rhys Gender and Sexuality: gay man Pronouns: he/they Ethnicity/Species: welsh human Birthplace and Birthdate: November 1st 1884, I think Guilty Pleasures: he actually doesn't feel guilty about any of the things he enjoys - he did, as a child, because he was never into particularly masculine activities, but he grew out of the shame Phobias: the dark, spiders (though he'd never kill them), driving, being killed by the vengeful spirits on Calan Gaeaf What They Would Be Famous For: in a modern verse I could see him as one of those cottagecore-aesthetic influencers What They Would Get Arrested For: accidentally poisoning someone, probably OC You Ship Them With: your Rafaäl, his beloved husband! OC Most Likely To Murder Them: ...two of his own brothers, Gareth and Dylan, Favorite Movie/Book Genre: he loves a romance, like a proper soft and sweet one, Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: ..."does the dog die" is his go-to website in modern verses Talents and/or Powers: he's a very very talented baker, he's fantastic at embroidery and needlecraft, and he knows so much about plants and gardening, Why Someone Might Love Them: he's a genuinely gentle, kind and sweet person, and he's very good with children and animals, Why Someone Might Hate Them: his brothers hate him because he's inherited their grandmother's house How They Change: he becomes more confident in himself, and doing things that make him happy, regardless of what other people think. he also learns to ask for help when he needs it, without feeling bad, Why You Love Them: I love him because he's so sweet and peaceful and calming and I want his life tbh

@alsaheemsmoak love BVS too! I knew there was a reason why I liked you ;)

2, 28, 36, 41, 51, 84... ok that's enough hahahaha

hahahaha woman! but thanks for asking <3 (also, I loved answering these) 

2: Do you like the feeling of cold air on your cheeks on a wintery day?

Yes! I do. It’s a feeling I don’t get to feel very often (I’ve lived in tropical climates my whole life). Also, I love it when my cheeks turn pink. Makes me feel pretty? (lol I’m a dork. why are you friends with me?)

28: Sunrise or sunset?

Oh man. That’s hard. I like both. But I think I’ll pick sunset because of how visually stunning it is every single day. 

36: Which band’s sound would fit your mood right now?

Funny you should ask - I’m listening to it right now. Panic at The Disco’s Pretty.Odd sound. Kinda muted but at the same time pretty intense. 

41: Do you have a favorite coffee shop? describe it!

Oh man. That’s hard. I have a few favourites. But the one that comes to mind is this place in Melbourne that I’ve been to once. I can’t remember what is called. Maybe Pellegrini? It’s owned by an Italian family and the guy that makes the coffee is maybe in his 70s? I don’t know how long it’s been there. But the shop is pretty small-ish. You either sit at the counter facing the kitchen or you sit at the counter facing the wall/mirrors. Pretty sure they have red stools? Most of the people there know each other - you hear heaps of Italian spoken. The people working there are super nice, and super welcoming. The smell of coffee is intense and delicious, so is the taste. I love it. It didn’t have that pretentious vibe some coffee shops have these days. I really wanna go back. 

51: Think of a person. what song do you associate with them?

I’m thinking of @tailoredtroubles (she’s one of my closest friends from back home). There is plenty of songs I associate her with. We have freakishly similar taste in music. This is gonna sound super random, dude, but I associate Blackbird with you. “Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life. You were only waiting for this moment to arise.” This line. Like, everything you had to go through. So you. 

84: Are you planning on getting tattoos? which ones?

Oh man. I wish I could. But I can’t. But if I could I’d get the date I graduate medical school tattooed on the inside of my left arm. (also, I’ve talked about tattoos to three people in the space of two days. it’s weird)
