💐 BOUQUET - create a bouqet for them! what do those flowers mean? are any of the flowers their particular favourite?
I never got into flower theory or whatever it is and frankly I don't want to scour the internet for flower meanings and then try to translate that into a passable bouquet, lmao
sunflowers are best flowers and they're a bit like Noah, let's just give him a bunch of those and call it a day
🌙 MOON - what is your oc's greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?
this is one of those things that I'm not sure how to work with because it's not something I personally have experience with -- One Grand Ambition to rule them all, and all that grandiose noise. I can handwave "saving the universe or whatever" for FFXIV characters but I can't imagine someone like Noah having a Greatest Wish™
instead, here are some things Noah wants most out of his life-- lives, rather:
to see communities be built from ruin. to fall in love, to be loved in return, to be surrounded by and drowned in love. to watch a sunset on a roof every once in a while. to see new places and learn new things, and maybe teach some new things in return. to eat the spiciest food he can find and try not to pass out cold (Nyoka holds the record for highest spice tolerance of anyone he's ever met and he's determined to beat her at SOMEthing). to learn to love Atom, so fiercely and so absolutely that it unmakes him once and for all.
sure, maybe that last one counts as a Greatest Wish. it's certainly audacious enough. but if anyone can do it, he can.
🕷️ SPIDER - what is their biggest fear? do they have any irrational / mundane fears?
the thing he fears the most is Atom winning, in any way. even a small win is devastating to him. he fears losing his siblings to their father's influence. he fears being ensnared in a trap of his own emotionality, fears that his love will be used to bring ruin.
he also fears mirelurks, like, big time. but like, have you seen a mirelurk? duh.
I'm not sure this applies to any of them, not in any long-term sense. like, Keahi had an older priest mentor em when ey were young, and Anansi Surana had the Circle enchanters, etc etc... but that's just standard, I guess. nothing I'd write home about. (or should I say, nothing I'd write smutty mentor/student fic about... bwahaha)
What OC has a huge group of friends?
I think that honour goes to Dayir and Ishan, simply because they're so well-connected and know quite so many people across multiple landmasses on two different planets, lmao. and yeah, most of them are friends.
What OC has, like, one friend?
so, which one of them is more of a loner type? Gabriel, lmao. it's really hard for people to find points of connection with Gabriel because he intentionally makes it difficult. befriending Gabriel is the Dark Souls of bonding
What OC really needs the Mom Friend around?
Ishan is pretty bad at taking care of himself without external motivation. so is Adrian Shepard. I'm assuming a lot off the top of my head about what "Mom Friend" means because I've never actually used this term, lol. (the fuck do I know about moms?)
What is your favorite romantic relationship between your OCs?
oh, that's really unfair. I think aside from Noah/Preston (my previous gold standard when it came to relationships, before Dayir happened), I'd have to pick a Dayir relationship, because I just love Dayir's dynamic with everyone. except I have no idea which relationship I'd choose. so I guess we'll stick with Noah/Preston for now
Which OCs complement each other the best?
I literally wrote Ishan and Dayir to complement each other, that's their whole thing lol. I'd also say Noah and Gideon and Gabriel, who are just three sides of one die.
Which OCs don’t know each other, but would hate each other if they did?
nope, can't say this would ever happen, lmao. not to be boring but all my OCs would love each other. maybe not right away, and maybe it'd be a bit of a trial (*looks at Gabriel*) but they've all just got far too much in common to really be opposed to each other (and none of them are that disconnected from themselves that they'd hate the bits of themselves that they find in others or whatever the platitude is)
What’s the strangest way two (or more) OCs have met?
I'm drawing the hugest blank for this one. maybe how Talan and Dayir met, which was basically in todash space?
Which OCs have fought with each other the most?
Gideon and Gabriel, I guess, because Gabriel's a fighty type.
How did OC meet their significant other? If OC does not have a SO, do they want one?
okay, so after #25 or so the questions are specifically for one OC, so I guess I'll just choose one myself. and considering how difficult this question is when all your characters are poly, I'll go with Noah who has a far more simplified number of partners (for now) lol
Noah Kingfisher met his pre-War wife Zora at a bar where he literally ran into her and spilled her drink. he met Preston Garvey when he wandered into the ruins of Concord shortly after being de-popsicled, and Preston Garvey took one gay look at him and thought, "*chuckles* I'm in danger". he met High Rise by working for the Railroad. he met Ulysses when he and Gabriel dragged themselves into the Commonwealth with the skull of Ulysses' dead mailman lover in tow. (idk, Gabriel likes keeping people's skulls. let him live)
Does OC have siblings? Do they get along if they do? Do they wish they had some if they don’t?
Noah was Marie Kingfisher's only child, but certainly not Atom's. he didn't learn about Gabriel and Sam Toren until way later, but of course as a bighearted boy who never had siblings, he latched onto them immediately. .....annnnd both of them immediately tried to run away, lmfao. but over time they become inseparable -- quietly but surely, it happens. and it's their greatest shield against their father.
How has OC been affected by their family relationships?
ha! I mean... well, his relationship with his mother (and grandmother) was probably the best thing to happen to a child like him -- to be loved unconditionally, despite how (and by whom) he'd been sired? it's a blessing, truly. it really set the tone for his life. he treats the people he chooses for his family with that same unconditional fondness, that same "I'll always keep the light on for you" vibe. no matter what sheer madness happens to Sam and Gabriel (or Preston, or Ulysses), he'll always be there for them.
his relationship with Atom is extremely fraught because while logically he knows he should hate Atom, he can't. it's just not in his nature. he wishes Atom were anything else but an interdimensional eldritch agent of chaos because those are really hard to win over with love and friendship
Who would OC do anything for?
I think you can pretty much infer the answer to this from the previous answers lmaooo
I would also add in Shaun, of course
How does OC meet most people?
pre-War, he met people through his community or through his job. the standard boring ways of meeting people, you know. in the Commonwealth, he usually meets people by coming to their aid in some way -- by helping a settlement, or doing a job for a faction, or whatever. after a while, he's well-known enough that he wishes he could meet less people sometimes, lmao. man needs a break
Who is OC’s favorite person?
he would hate this question because why would he choose???

and that's why i avoid those subs
you: “hi, so I’ve been having a hard time with--”
everyone else on the sub: “ISN’T IT AWFUL???? IT FEELS SO HORRIBLE TO BE US, I’VE BEEN CRYING INTO MY EASY MAC FOR FOUR HOURS, I JUST WANT A HUG, WHY DO THEY HATE US SO MUCH”

“Sam, I think we're still high.” Max now looked utterly baffled. Still a good look, Sam thought, but she though all his looks were great.
“You're still high, I'm a dimensional-hopping reality bender sent to destroy everything by my father, Nyarlathotep, or Walter Padick, or Randall Flagg, or whatever name he's chosen to use here, and he's not happy that I've decided against wanton destruction.”
tried to find an actual formal post about this fic on Sparrow's blog so I could reblog it, didn't find one, figured I gotta do everything myself smh
watch out for that cliffhanger at the end of chapter 1. it slapped the shit out of me even though I literally knew the entire plot of the fic beforehand
