hello! random question, feel free to ignore. what is your oc's favorite way to treat themselves? do they keep it secret or do they like to share it?

It's canon to Violence Without Plot that Jesse treats himself by going to a grocery store like Sprouts or whatever and standing over the big barrel of buy-in-bulk gummy bears with the shitty plastic scoop for HOURS until he has a a whole five-pound bag of red bears.

If anyone tells you my characters are allistic they are LYING

Briar likes to read comics, but he hasn't gotten access to any of them while he and the War Machines have been on the run. Lucky for him, Circuit's been pirating the major ones on his tablet so he can read them.

(Now I'm imagining Briar sheepishly looking at Circuit and going "Um... do you... do you have any games on your tablet too?")

He was also really used to eating rations instead of "real" food, so he loves when he can get fruit, juice, or anything really sweet.

for the Pinterest ask game: 10, 21, 24

answering for mourn the day

10. Is a meme / joke from a character's board

21. Appears out of place with the rest of the pins on the board

the majority of pennant’s board would probably qualify here actually

24. Is an aesthetic that reminds you of your character

bram, in this case

hey! this is chance & here’s this week’s prompt. what websites or resources do you use while you write or develop a character/story? what do you think of them and would you recommend them?

I mostly use Google docs or Pinterest when it comes to story writing, planning, character creating, etc! I’ll also sometimes use prompt generators. Really not a whole lot but it’s worked faithfully for me. :)

hello! random question, feel free to ignore. tell me a random fact that may or may not be plot relevant about one of your ocs but you love about them.

Hello! Thank you for the ask! <3

This is not plot relevant at all but Rai loves cats! There are a lot of stray ones where he lives and he lets them into his house (much to his mother's annoyance) to feed them and hang out with them. If he sees a cat in the street he will often stop whatever he's doing to go pet it. The cats love him as well and there are some that follow him around whenever he goes outside! I just think its super cute <3

hey! this is chance & here’s week 3’s prompt. share an excerpt that you’re very proud of from any of your wips.

here's an excerpt from carry me i'm kind of proud of

Scott calls Ray crying at 4am. Panic rushes through her. Scott is many things, but it's rare for him to become hysterical. Ray: Scott, what's wrong? She hears Scott take panicked breaths before he finally answers. Scott: My teeth– [he takes another breath] – they're falling out. And-and [he struggles to breathe through the panic, and it takes longer this time for him to regain his composure. Ray can feel her own lungs ache in sympathy.] There are sharper ones growing in their place. Ray, I'm so fucking scared, I don't know what's happening to me.  Ray blinks. She thinks of the deep, painful looking bite scars she saw on Scott's arms (and probably the rest of his body, but Ray doesn't want to think about that) and has the wild thought that Scott could be a werewolf, then pushes it away.  Ray: (hesitantly) Did your mom ever mention anything to you about–? (whatever this is, she thinks a bit hysterically) Or maybe it has something to do with your um (Ray bites her lip, not wanting to bring it up, but forcing herself to anyway) scars?  Silence meets her words. She can hear him trying to formulate a response. Whether his response will be angry or not at her prying, she can't determine. Scott: When I was little, my mom did say something about my dog teeth coming in, but I didn't know what she was talking about. I still don't. I thought maybe it was just an expression. He sniffles on the other end of the line. Ray imagines him sitting somewhere in the woods, or in Anne's parents' barn next to the chicken coop, holding a cigarette in one hand while the other rubs at the spot between his brows like he always does when he's stressed or upset. She wants to smooth it out with a fingertip like she always does, but she's too far away. Scott: Am I turning into a monster?  "No," Ray answers, automatically. There's not a shred of doubt in that fact; she feels it in her marrow. Scott is many things, but a monster is not one of them. He is the question and the answer, The other half of her soul. But maybe monsters feel that way about their soulmates too.  "Whatever is happening," continues Ray, "We'll figure it out. Together." "Okay," says Scott, voice soft.

hey! this is chance & here’s week 3’s prompt. share an excerpt that you’re very proud of from any of your wips.

Thanks! :D Here's an excerpt from the last chapter of The Unfortunate Moth:

In spite of herself Phil asked, "Have you found him?"

No need to elaborate. They both knew there was only one person she could mean. Mr. Seo shook his head. "I expect he left on the first available boat. By now he could be anywhere: New Zealand, America, perhaps even back in Europe. I doubt he'll ever bother you again." Phil didn't know which would be worse: seeing Leopold again, or not seeing him. She murmured her goodbyes and left. As she walked out of the graveyard she couldn't help scanning the place for one person in particular. He would be alone, she thought even as she told herself she was being ridiculous, and wouldn't dare come too close. He would probably stand at a distance, on that hill for example. But there was no one there. Wherever Leopold Colman was, he didn't deign to attend his victim's funeral. Phil didn't know what it said about her that she almost wished he had.

hey this is chance and here’s week 4’s prompt. how do strangers within the world view your protagonists? how would they describe them? and how does this contrast against how the protagonist views themself?

Oh man these weeks are all messed up I'm so sorry BUT I like this question because, hypothetically, Beth was supposed to go out into the world with Dr. Agau as part of the SOLE Project.

During this global campaign to fight climate change, Dr. Agau would have intentionally tried to make the public view Beth as favorably as possible. And she is very good at this, she did it with herself and her proposal to get funding for her Evil Science.

The Amazon rainforest burning down probably helped people be more open to accepting her drastic solutions, too, but I digress.

THE POINT IS strangers would probably view Beth as a wonder! And why not? She would be the world's first and only superhuman. She can waterbend. She would be an overnight celebrity star idol etc.

She wouldn't view herself that way necessarily. She knows that her powers are unique, but they have always been a part of her, and so she doesn't sensationalize it.
