random OC ask: what would your OC wear on an average day? what would they wear to a special event?

[feel free to include reference images, if you'd like!]

AA TYSMM i think she;d dress pretty comfortable on an avg day (carpenter pants , light button up, a smock & open toed sandals -- sry osha) given that she'd likely be in the studio but omg.. for a night out i can picture a gorgeousss floor length gown, black w a gentle shimmer, fitted with a deep v and an open back or some cutouts.. & jewelry to match ~

a random OC ask for you (for finch): what is your OC's favorite memory?

also: if they were dropped in a random city for a day with a pouch full of gold/relevant currency and no obligations whatsoever, what would they be doing?

his favorite memory is playing the piano at the elfsong. he used to busk to raise money for a proper weapon for himself and eventually got good enough to play opener for acts at the tavern in the evenings. it paid CONSIDERABLY less than security work would for a half-orc but it was less frightening for a shy teenager with little combat experience outside fights with other street kids. it was probably the most fun he had in baldur's gate growing up.

and there was a lot of pride in earning enough tips that he could buy himself dinner AND squirrel some coins into his savings. a lot of hope tied into that. and there was a bitter satisfaction in his half-elven grandfather finally approving of something he did, even if it was only because he viewed it as a means to finch buying his own equipment and eventually providing for himself "doing what you're really good for." and no longer being his problem.

and for your second question: surprise! he'd go to a tavern! like any true adventurer. first thing finch does in a city is try the food and gauge the attitude of the locals. and he can do both of those by planting himself right in the middle of a pub. if people aren't friendly he'll finish his business quietly and try not to start something but if something gets started well. he'll finish it too. but really he just enjoys the opportunity to eat something hot and drink something cold. gods field rations suck.

this is unexpected, and I'm not sure what OC are you interested in BUT OH I'M EXCITED, THANKS FOR ASKING. I will go with Tavi and Sav. For Tavi, her fav memory was training with her friends in the Cheydinhal Sanctuary, I think. And if she gets dropped in a random city with lots of money, she will try all the fanciest food that there is. Savari's fav memory is probably her and companions sitting around the fire in the evening and sharing funny stories :') and if she ends up in a random city with lots of money, she will probably buy some books and keep the rest of the money to invest it into some magical research later.

random ask: what is your go-to daily drink? your special occasion drink? detail delightful, recipe spectacular.

∧,,,∧ (  ̳• · • ̳) /    づ♡ I love you drinks [you're pretty cool though]

An excellent set of questions! My day-to-day drink is usually boring old Pepsi for that bit of caffeine that my ADHD brain craves. If I'm going for something alcoholic, I love a sweet hard cider - my absolute favorite is Gumption, which has become impossible to find around here and may be out of production, but I also enjoy Woodchuck (especially the green apple variety - yum!!!) and Doc's Draft (the sour cherry and peach varieties are excellent).

A fun (alcoholic) drink that I've done a time or two is to mix sparkling apple cider with a little bit of Fireball, it's like a bubbly spiced cider, I love it! A hot version could be made with regular apple cider and Fireball or any spiced liquor of choice - I had some at a party once that was made with Captain Morgan, it was lovely!

For a non-alcoholic hot drink on a nice chilly morning, I like a homemade mocha. Make some coffee however you normally would, making sure to leave some room in the mug when you pour it. Add milk, chocolate syrup, and vanilla syrup to taste. If you want to make it a little extra ~cozy~, add a little bit of ground cinnamon. Mix and enjoy!

I also adore hot, spiced, non-alcoholic apple cider - add a gallon (or half, or however much/little you want) to a heating vessel. Slow cookers are great for parties/large batches, you can also use a small pot if you're making just one portion. Add ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves to taste - you'll probably need far less of the cloves than the cinnamon and nutmeg, but you do you. Stir and allow to heat up. Serve hot, preferably while wearing a cozy sweater and staring at pretty fall foliage. Handmade mugs make it taste better, if available.

Also, adding a little cinnamon to hot chocolate kicks it up just that little bit. Or a tiny bit of chili powder. Or both. A little goes a long way for one mug of cocoa.

a random OC ask for you (for nyla) : what is your OC's favorite memory?

also: if they were dropped in a random city for a day with a pouch full of gold/relevant currency and no obligations whatsoever, what would they be doing?

I'm assuming you mean Spinkle? (Spinkle is my durge and Nylla is my friends Tav in our multiplayer save/Spinkles bestest friend)

Spinkle was hit with that true factory reset so any memories she has are all from within the last month, but I'd say the most fun she's had in that short span has been running loose in the mindflayer colony below Moonrise. Moonrise towers? Boring. Fleshy cool stuff hidden underneath it? Awesome!!!!

And as for a nice day trip out with no obligations? I wouldn't even say money is necessary I think she would just want to go on a chase, like a dog being let off it's leash. But like, she bites, so take caution.

Pass the happy! 💛 when you get this, respond with 5 things that make you happy and send this to the last 10 people in your notifications!

Let’s do this!

1. Book smell. It’s like crack. 

2. Baking for people. Especially cakes. I’m having a lot of fun figuring out how to play with flavor combinations. 

3. Hearing from a friend. I have trouble staying social and connected, but I’m trying hard, and there’s a lot of meaning to me in just seeing that little notification dot. :)

4. Organizing? I grew up a horribly messy kid with ADHD, and my mother would straight up come into my room and sweep her arm across my bed to get all the books and random crap off of it. Now organization is like a full-body sigh. I actually sang a song about my writing shelf last night, because pens pretty pens I can see you pens. 

12 y/o me would think I’ve completely lost it, but knowing where things are is so good. xD

5. Embroidery. I love being able to find or create designs I love and craft them with my hands. It’s a fun thing to gift, and I can make my own patches. :3

Wool socks and smelly candles, for the autumn ask meme! 🍁🍂🍁🍂

wool socks: what’s something you look forward to in fall? 

the weather!! i live in los angeles now so i don’t get seasons anymore, which i’m very sad about, bc fall weather is my absolute fave. last year i drove like ... 100 miles east in search of decent apple picking. i’m still searching. i will squeeze out some traditional fall fun out of this desert if it kills me

smelly candles: what’s your absolute favorite scent?

perfume scent is prada candy. i love that dark caramel smell. in general though, i love the smell of fire, vanilla, lavender, and cinnamon
