38. What kind of weather does your character like? Cloudy skies, rainy days, sunshine, etc?
(Thanks for asking!! Ask Prompt here: Get to Know My Character )
What kind of weather... well, typically, a nice sunny day. She likes the beach, and being at sea, and... there's nothing like a clear, blue sunny day to bask in! But she's not as picky as some other OCs I've had over the years - she enjoys getting caught in a nice, warm summer rain, too. Or sitting inside and listening to rolling thunder. Or being on her ship in a rolling storm.
Anything but snow. Mostly because I, the writer, suffer winters that are roughly 6 months long and heavy with snow... Lily doesn't love it and never has, but given her demonic corruption, she runs hot these days. The cold weather isn't as much of an issue for her... she just doesn't like it. Better to be sipping a drink on a beach, somewhere! (Not to mention she's from Quel'thalas where you kinda have a perma-fall atmosphere... every day is the perfect temperature there. xD)
I was tagged on an FFXIV blog to do this, and wanted to make one for Lily, too! Lots of green for fel, and flowers because of her name... and it's beachy because she loves the ocean! And it's a little messy because... the best things (and people) are!
hello lovely anon! this ask was rather a fun surprise and it took me a few days because I needed to be in the perfect headspace to allocate songs
okay here's the deal: these songs are not a reflection of my mutuals' personalities this is just the vibe I feel with them. so what I did was put my music library on shuffle and if a name popped into my head while I was listening to a song I gave it to a moot. in truth I could probably do entire playlists for each of them lmao cause one song is not enough to capture their essence (felt v witchy saying that) but to the point: this is not what I picture their personalities like, just how they feel to me, so lyrics aren't necessarily relevant but they, along with the beat, form part of it all.
additionally I have a loottt of mutuals so this is just for the few I interact with fairly often but I'd be happy to do more, and really for anyone if you would like to! just send me an ask, I'll stalk your blog and then I'll give you a song🥺
anyway I hope nobody gets a song they don't like lmao (all songs below):
Sky (@msdrpreist): I hear a symphony by Cody Fry
Stella (@stillneedsmorekissing): love in the dark (piano version) by Jessie Reyez
Cass (@terrible-and-proud) : slow down by Chase Atlantic
Ley (@leyontheway): classic by MKTO
Gretchen (@queen-of-demons-and-hell): sk8er boi by Avril lavigne
The Hyur looked up from where she was using a fork to break open a fresh meat pie, eyes focusing on Lionnellais. A pot of fresh lemon tea was steeping nearby that she had just delivered to the teacher’s home.
This was a common occurrence between the friends, where she would deliver tea in the early afternoons before Lionnellais slept and they would share tea and a meal.
“Oh, she’s good. I think. I haven’t seen her in a while, actually.” Lily smiled a bit sadly down at the meat pie, watching steam rise out of it. “She’s off treasure hunting or something.”
“Sending love letters too, I’ve heard,” Lionnellais grinned to her as he began to pour their tea into mugs.
Lily almost choked on her first bite of pie, “What!? Not to you, I hope?”
The Elezen burst into laughter as he pushed one of the mugs toward her. He began to put cube after cube of sugar into the hot tea as he replied, “Twelve, no. But I was watching my god children and one of their siblings mentioned a love letter, heh. I can only assume it was from her.”
Lily flopped onto the table for a moment, “I’m not ready for this. She’s not old enough.”
“What? She’s eighteen,” Lionnellais laughed. “She can do what she pleases. Or who she—”
“Lion!” The Midlander’s face was pressed against the table as he started laughing all over again.
“Speaking of love letters, any for you recently?” Lily asked as she sat up again, beginning to eat at her pie.
“Hrm? Me? Hah, you must have me mistaken for someone else. I don’t get those kinds of letters.” Lionnellais gave her an exasperated look.
“What about from that flower vendor you mentioned~?” Lily asked with a grin.
Lionnellais rolled his eyes, “Please. I don’t get those kinds of letters from them.”
Lily snickered as she ate at her pie, glancing over at his counter where at least fifteen more pies rested. “Why do you make so many? Do you share them with Zanin?”
“No, haha. He doesn’t eat them. If I want him to eat something I’ll make curry. But, it just saves me time. Make them every few suns and then not have to make anything for a while.”
“Oh. Yeah that makes sense.” Lily nodded.
“What about you? Any love letters for you?”
The Hyur shook her head, “No, not for me. Not since I broke off my engagement, hah. But I’m good.” She smiled over at him. “I don’t need anybody. I’ve got really good friends and I’ve got my brother again and Tyra.”
She beamed at him before focusing on her pie again. There was a few moments of silence between them as she ate and he sipped his tea. When she reached over for her tea, he spoke.
“I hope one sun that you’re as happy as you pretend to be.”
Lily paused, cup halfway to her mouth. She licked her lips, swallowing as she slowly lowered the mug to look across the table at Lionnellais. He was staring at her evenly with a sympathetic gaze.
Her lips parted to take in a breath to speak, but it caught in her throat and she looked away from him. Her fingers tightened around where they had been cradling her tea mug, eventually releasing a sigh when the threat of the sudden sob had faded.
“Yeah. Me too.”
His hand reached across the table and tested over hers around the mug. She looked up at him with a watery smile before the two returned to their tea.
Tagged by the lovely @bethadastra ! Thank you Beth! Let’s give this a shot... and to no one’s surprise, I’m gonna do it for Lily! Sticking with Broken Souls Lily because that’s who I’m most comfortable with right now ♥
Full name: Lily Anne Evans
Gender: Female

Family: Lily’s parents are well off, big supporters of the Alliance - and huge bigots/xenophobes. She has them blocked on all communication and has had nothing to do with them since joining the Alliance. Her twin, Rose, is her best friend, and the reason she ends up on Palaven. As people reading the fic know, Lily meets and falls for Tiberius Ramas - and without giving away too many spoilers, there’s eventually a few kiddos in the mix there.
Job: N7, Alliance Ambassador to the Hierarchy, and consultant on the Valkyrie Training Program.
Phobias: Silence.

M O R A L S

Sins: Desire / Despair / Envy / Fear / Hunger / Pride / Rage / Sloth
Organized/Disorganized: Disorganized but in an ‘this is my mess and I know where everything is’ kind of way.
Close minded/Open-minded: Very open-minded.
Disagreeable/Agreeable: Usually agreeable unless faced with open racism or bigotry
Cautious/Reckless: Just reckless enough to give Tiberius mild panic attacks on occasion.
Patient/Impatient: Impatient
Outspoken/Reserved: Outspoken
Leader/Follower: Leader
Empathetic/Unempathetic: Empathetic
Optimistic/Pessimistic: Optimistic
Traditional/Modern: Modern
Hard-Working/Lazy: Very hard working - she would much rather be kept busy then be idle.
R E L A T I O N S H I P S
OTP: The wonderful Tiberius Ramas, who belongs to the equally lovely @wafflesrock16 . I couldn’t have made a more perfect partner for Lily if I’d tried - they’re opposites in some things and the same in others, and complement each other where it counts the most. Plus Lily has a thing for strong, tall men, and Tibs just does it for her.
Acceptable Ships: I haven’t considered her with anyone else, to be completely honest. So idk! Before Tibs, Lily was a free spirit, and definitely not shy about hooking up, so... *shrug*
OT3: Meh
BroTP: Probably Rose. Or Rainer, even. She def pokes him for advice once in a while.
My brain is mush so idk who to tag, but if you wanna do this, go for it! Was fun! Thank you for the tag @bethadastra ♥
Just a quick wallpaper graphic that I threw together for our Sunshine Ottter’s birthday! I wish I could do more to wish him the best of birthdays like give him a warm hug and some snacks and time for good music and lots of sleep, but this is my humble offering!
Thank you, Choi Youngjae, for being the reason for so many smiles, for so much laughter, for so much warmth and happiness and love. Thank you for sharing your own smiles and laughter with the world. Thank you for sharing your voice--your singing, your jokes, your shouting exclamations--and your movements--your dancing, your flailing, your aggressive displays of affection--with those of us who love you so much. I hope you can feel the love we all have for you every day, and please know that I, at least, will love you always!
Have a wonderful birthday, Sunshine, and here’s to hoping this is your best year yet!
