Heard you were looking for asks, so 🌘 or ✌️ with any character(s) you want!!
(thanks for the ask! I decided to use✌️ since I'm not quite sure how to write in a flowery style-
I'm using my OCs Sprinkle and Ivy for this one, since they're from the same universe and are best friends!
I haven't really introduced Ivy on here yet, so here's an introductory fic to them of sorts! Even if it's incredibly angsty-)
✌️ - are there any gestures or touches that your character shares with a friend/team/loved one that are a type of code between them?
Title: Touch
Warnings: Panic Attacks, Character Hitting Their Own Head and Sensory Overload
Ivy didn't know what happened. First they were talking to their friends, but all of a sudden they were hit with a wave of unease. They weren't sure what caused it, but they sure as hell knew they wanted to leave. So, they mumbled something indecipherable to their friends before rushing to one of the rooms in their friend's home.
Ivy's chest felt tight, their breaths were labored. They clasped their hands over their ears, eyes swelling with tears as they stared at the ground, hitting their head repeatedly. Their mind was racing, a million thoughts running about. And yet, they couldn't grasp onto a single one. It was just...pure noise, noise that continued to grow louder and louder until...
"Ivy?" It was muffled, but it was there; the sound of their best friend's voice. They peered up at her through bleary eyes, spotting a familiar sight. Sprinkle stood in front of them, holding out her pointer finger.
Ivy shakily brought their own pointer finger up, gently touching Sprinkle's finger tip. Sprinkle immediately reacted, coming to their side and pulling them into a hug. They buried their face in her shoulder, shaky sobs escaping them as they wrapped their arms around her tightly.
Sprinkle gently rubbed at their head, quietly reassuring them that they'd be alright. And for once through it all, Ivy felt like they'd be ok.
---
Everything was too much. From the bright lights to the loudness of the crowd, all the way to the itchiness of her collar, Sprinkle wasn't ready for the attack on her senses. So, she retreated, running from the store to the car, locking herself inside.
She tucked her head into her knees, rocking back and forth in the backseat as she attempted to ground herself. Her fingers picked at the car seats as she bit her bottom lip, keeping her eyes shut. It was too much. She just wanted this to be over with.
The sound of a car door opening registered through the muddle of her brain. She opened one eye, looking over to see Ivy sitting beside her. They reached their hand out, holding up their pointer finger. Sprinkle quietly held up her pointer finger and middle finger, looking down and bringing her hand back to her.
Ivy nodded silently, hopping out of the car and gently closing the door behind them. They went to the driver's seat side, opening the door and closing it. They started the car, slowly reversing and leaving the car lot, heading toward Sprinkle's home.
They parked outside, checking the back to see Sprinkle, who was still rocking. They sighed slightly, looking out the window. They knew that as long as their presence was known, Sprinkle would turn out ok.
(I'm kinda bad at describing things so I'll explain the touch here: They touch pointer fingers if they want to be touched but put up their pointer and middle finger together if they don't want to be touched)
(thanks for the ask! I'm writing my OC Tara for this one, who's from a zombie apocalypse universe! Sage is a side character who I haven't worked on much, but just know she's here-)
🖕 - someone touches your character in a way that's rude or that they just don't like (i.e. shoves past them, etc). what do they do?
Title: Why You Gotta Be So Rude? (cough i had to-)
Warnings: Swearing, that's bout it!
It was honestly supposed to be a normal day. Tara was going to go out, scan the surrounding area for any potential resources and return to the base, where her loving girlfriend would wait for her with open arms.
Of course, that's not exactly how it went.
The boss of the base decided to send Tara out on patrol with Sage, who happened to be one of the whiniest and bitchiest people Tara had ever met. She thought that being in a literal apocalypse would make people less entitled, but Sage was living proof of the opposite.
The pair was huddled in an abandoned alleyway, Tara's grip tight on her bat as she listened out for any noises nearby. Sage stood at her side, picking at her nails.
Finally, Sage let out a loud sigh, pushing off the wall and shoving past Tara. "Come on, idiot," Sage hissed, "You're taking too long! Hurry up!"
Tara blinked, narrowing her eyes at Sage. This bitch really has the audacity to be rude to me when I could throw her to the zombies? Tara thought to herself, scoffing. She lifted her bat, hesitating before lowering it.
Nah, don't want to get in trouble with the boss. Although, I could just... Tara decided to return the favor, shoving past Sage with a small smirk.
"Uh- Hey! What are you-" Tara looked over her shoulder, chuckling slightly at Sage's pissed face. "What? You literally just did the same thing to me. Do you really believe you can just do shit like that with nothing in return?"
Sage blinked, opening and closing her mouth repeatedly before scoffing, glaring at the ground. "Ugh, whatever." Sage crossed her arms, causing Tara to grin and walk the path they took on patrols.
At least she finally got a taste of her own medicine.
Psst... You should talk some abt your ocs if you want. I wanna know random facts about them.
hi anon!! i’ve been working on some world building for my ocs so i hope you don’t mind me dropping that in as well- im putting it under a read more bc i wrote a LOT-
also, i kept accidentally deleting this so i’ve had to rewrite this multiple times :’) but it’s fine, i like infodumping-
heres a link to my og post about them! https://enbees-and-lavendar.tumblr.com/post/642206592824213504/holds-up-these-ocs-hello-and-welcome-to-a-new
*holds up these OCs* hello and welcome to a new hyperfixation starring me
I call them DND based OCS but I've never played-
anywho, if you
so, there’s 3 kingdoms, all w/different morals & ideas:
The Kingdom of Preocupat: their whole moral system is “as long as you don’t damage property you can go wild.” unsurprisingly, they have a lot of crime here-
The Kingdom of Cordeno: upholds kindness & respect, try their hardest to remain “pure” in the eyes of their deities (who im still working on-)
The Kingdom of Tenbrarum: ok yeah, this kingdom is barely a kingdom- the people call for anarchy & the royalty try to get them to stop
these kingdoms are all in a conflict: Cordeno wants everyone to just chill & not have any death, Tenbrarum is trying to basically kill off all of their citizens in hopes of starting anew & Preocupat is helping both sides out, not really caring about their placement in it all.
so its chaos in this realm- but there are groups from each kingdom gathering, trying to help the conflict to the best of their abilities.
the ocs i posted about? they might be a group, but they definitely aren’t trying to help the conflict anytime soon- they might have incredibly powerful people in the group (which i’ll talk about soon!) but they would rather help out random travelers & small taverns in the woods than help the kingdoms
they’re just a group of people who do the side quests of this realm-
Aeolanyira (she/her):
w/all that story stuff out the way, lemme talk about the gang! (also, they all either have ADHD or are autistic, this is mostly bc I self projected onto all of them so- im mentioning this bc im gonna talk about their favorite stims)
she’s dating Moonweb
a funky lil musician who travels around the realm, uncaring of consequences
she didn’t have a family, so she’s traveled around for as long as she can remember
she often makes pit stops at taverns to perform, & her music enchants anyone who listens to it
basically, when she sings, she has the power to control the elements & keep people/enemies drawn to her
she doesn’t really have that much control over these powers, (she has accidentally set a tavern on fire once) the most she knows now is when to stop singing
despite her not caring about consequences, she is rather wary of how her actions affect others, bc she’s seen the best & worst of people & she’d hate to be someone that caused hurt
she smells like cinnamon!
Moonweb (she/he/they):
fav. stims: F L A P P Y H A N D S. also, humming/talking to herself!
she’s dating Aeolanyira
a half elf, half demon who lives among the mortals to help do jobs for his father
although they never knew her mother, his father is actually very caring (for a demon lord) & usually sends them around so he can teach her various lessons
they actually met Aeolanyira in a tavern & decided to follow her around to see what she does on her journeys
he actually doesn’t have many powers apart from being able to fly & having heightened senses-
she prefers flying around, but ever since they’ve joined the gang he tries to walk more often so she can hold Aeolanyira’s hand 🥺
they tend to present themself as very kind, but if she doesn’t care about you then you’ll end up being a pawn in his game-
his scarf is the only remnant they have of her mother
fav. stims: flapping their wings around despite not flying & smelling cinnamon bc it’s a nice smell & reminds her of Aeolanyira
he’s dating Orsal
Whiskey (he/him):
an orc from the kingdom of Cordeno who follows the messages of his Goddess
he has a ton of siblings. his parents taught them all the messages of their Goddess. he ended up leaving bc the family started putting too much pressure on his shoulders
while travelling around, he ran into Aeolanyira & Moonweb, who were stuck in a ditch somehow?? he helped them & decided to stick around bc they looked like they could use some help
he doesn’t have powers on his own, however he’s pretty damn good w/a sword & can ask his Goddess for help
when asking his Goddess for help, he has the power to just slash the crap out of everyone (this technically goes against his morals, but he’ll do anything to help his friends)
due to his upbringing, he tries to keep kindness & peace first, but the gang definitely can make that hard-
his armor piece was a gift from 1 of his favorite sisters
fav. stims: tapping his foot & clinking his sword against stuff bc he likes the noises :D
he’s dating Whiskey
Orsal (he/him):
a powerful demon lord who was sent up to the mortals’ realm to basically babysit his friend’s child (Moonweb-)
he doesn’t have family, he was born out of the mortals’ rage
he honestly was just stumbling around the realm until he bumped into Moonweb, who was hanging out w/Aeolanyira & Whiskey in a tree-
he basically just gets his powers from people’s rage. someone’s intensely upset? Orsal gains power from that, using it whenever he can
when using people’s rage, he grows bigger & stronger. he can grow up to 15 feet & tends to stay at this size after battles
he has very similar morals to Moonweb: he uses people to his own benefit, but he doesn’t try to hide it like Moonweb. he’s very soft & protective of those he cares about tho (the gang 🥺🥺)
his eyes change color! when using his powers, his eyes go black & red, but outside of that his eyes are blue & green
fav. stims: destroying things & touching the others (not in a weird way- it’s more like him playing w/or stroking the other’s hair & wings)
currently single, but she has a secret admirer 👀
Zanna (she/her):
a powerful witch who lives in a cottage just outside the outskirts of Tenbrarum
her family’s dead- she’s alive bc she cast a successful spell that keeps her alive longer
the rest of the gang met her when they were on the run from Tenbrarum forces- she kinda just opened her door for them & was so amused by them that she joined their little journey
she’s a jack of all trades who’s basically learned all types of magic- she does grow tired when she does too much magic of any kind, so she doesn’t pop off as much as she could
she specializes in healing & defensive magic, but she’s definitely very good at offensive magic
she’s been alive for so long that she’s basically grown desensitized to everything. she’s seen it all & she’s not gonna try to change anything anytime soon. the only things she cares about is the gang, so F in the chat for anyone who messes w/them-
bc her sleeves are really long, her hands rarely show. it’s become a joke w/in the gang that if her hands show, she means business
fav. stims: fidgeting w/her sleeves & doing flashy magic to watch the colors change :D
currently single, but crypt’s pining hard for Zanna 👀👀
Enador (crypt/cryptself):
a vampire who became the “familiar” of Zanna & is her personal bodyguard (tho not really since we all know Zanna can handle herself)
crypt’s family disowned crypt bc crypt showed way too much interest in other species-
crypt hid crypt’s human form from the gang for a while- 1 night crypt just chose to shift & the gang was like “ZANNA YOUR BAT’S TURNED INTO A HUMAN” & Zanna was like “lmao i know”
crypt is honestly just a normal vampire- besides being able to stand in the sun & having crypt’s animal features pop up, not much is different
the most impressive thing about crypt is crypt can just transform in the blink of an eye- crypt just spreads crypt’s wings out & suddenly there’s a bat there
crypt’s been alive just as long as Zanna, however the 2 have very different morals- crypt just has SO much pent up rage, so crypt’s morals are basically “if you inconvenience me or my friends even just a little bit, i will choose violence & not hold back”
crypt has claws- i can’t tell you how many times crypt has accidentally scratched someone in the gang & had to apologize immensely
fav. stims: rocking back & forth & lightly chewing on crypt’s skin (Zanna didn’t know about it until later & that’s when she gave crypt a bunch of random things to chew on in the meantime)
...sorry for how long that infodump was- but i love them a lot & i might post fics about them! (that is, if i have the time & people like them-)
