Lily and Peony ^^
Lily: What’s the most insane thing your paras have done?
jean has white people “dreadlocks” so that’s pretty weird and bad..but uhhhhh in terms of outlandish n irrational tho:Morgo once jumped from a second-floor balcony and kept running.Jian didn’t get away from Dickass Lee when he had a very clear chance and permission to do so.FUCKIN UUHHHH Sten did a fun jump across dimensions lmao
Peony: What song(s) describe your main para?
for some reason i have millions for Jian and none for anyone else so here we go lmao, these are some of Jian’s songs (fair warning if anyone’s planning to listen: they all have a common theme of sexual violence) -
Screams - IAMXRough Trade - Adam LambertPretty When You Cry - VASTWhore - In This MomentSex Is Not Enough - Oomph!Cherry Wine - Hozier
……i’ve put this boy through too much..

20 for Jian and 15 '3'
yoooo !
20. what advice do you have for Jian?
- Hey. Hey, Jian, my guy. Stop trusting people so fuckin easily. I know you’re just pretending, to make them feel better, and you don’t really trust them at all, but it doesn’t matter. The result is always the same, ya simple bitch.
15. oops, all the tea’s in the harbor now. tell us a secret, major or minor, for each para you’re answering for!
- oh heck
Jian: He knows where Dickass Lee keeps his gun. shh
Morgo: yo he wants to die so fuckin bad. He doesn’t tell any of his friends bc they’d get super worried, especially Jade. But every time someone doesn’t kill him, every time he gets away, he’s so fucking disappointed.
Tanner: Deep deep down, he sometimes wishes he’d left Bryan behind when they escaped the dorms together.
Jardani: There are some things they were forced to do as a captive that they never want anyone to know about.
Sage: She really really wants to have a romantic relationship but she thinks she’s not good enough socially to ever do something like that.
Sten: He doesn’t miss his family at all.

26. Do you act out your daydreams? Do you speak to/through your paras out loud?
- That’s the way i usually daydream :D #acting !! When i speak, though, it’s either a whispering thing or a very muted and vague vocal blocking of whatever words are being said. Unless i’ve got the house to myself, then it’s Full Volume Full Conversations lol
27. Have you ever been caught daydreaming?
- lol last semester my roommate would walk in on me alone with all the lights off, sitting on a chair or the floor, daydreaming. A few times. She knows about my daydreaming though, so it didn’t turn out in disaster lol
29. Briefly describe a daydream.
-… mine are pretty much always horrendously violent and mean… so here’s a fun exchange between Jian and Chela instead!
Chela: “Why do you like this place when it’s American bullshit ‘Chinese’ food?”Jian: “I mean, it’s not good. But you eat McDonald’s, don’t you? That’s a sweet authentic American hamburger.”…Chela, not lovin it: “Okay but the thing for me should be Taco Bell, right? And I fuckin hate Taco Bell.”Jian, mouthful of cold lo mein: “Think outside the bun, Chela.”
40. Do you do research for your daydreams? How much? How often? How deep?
- Sometimes i research about injuries and the right (or wrong!) way to treat them. With Jian, I had to do a little research on youth shelters and their policies. With Tanner, I needed to know what broken ribs feel like and how long they take to heal.(ok but sometimes i’ll look up whether or not a character would survive what i’ve just done to them. and sometimes the answer is no. but i ignore that and make them live anyway.)

Are there any paras you want to develop more than they are rn?
I’d like to develop Melosia, Mari, and Cam more in particular.
With Melosia, she has no contact with anyone in the main squad besides Chela & Andrea, so it’s kinda hard to know what’s going on with her. I just don’t have any social connections with her to develop. :(
With Mari.. She’s from a story I started in middle school, and she’s always been a little bit of a vague thing. I don’t even know the name of her twin brother she’s trying to find!!
With Cam, he’s kind of a newly discovered side character and I haven’t really gotten to thinking about him much. He’s only relevant in Jian’s early teenage years, and I’ve been past that for a long time.
Are there any paras you dislike?
Oh, yes.
(cw for discussion of rape, pedophilia)
If i hate one of my paras, it’s because they’ve gone past the fun interesting antagonist and turned into something that makes me uncomfortable/angry to think about irl.
some fun examples!
-Todd! He, a 20-year-old college student, took 14-year-old Jian’s virginity while he was drunk and then manipulated him into a shitty abusive relationship where Todd obviously had all the power. Luckily, Jian got out of it with help from Todd’s former friends who cut him off for being terrible.
-Kev! Another 20/21-year-old dude preying on our wonderful boy Jian! This time Jian is 15/16 and Kev sort of traded room & board for a sexual (often violent and explicitly non-consensual) relationship. Jian only got out of this one when neighbors called the police during a particularly violent fight and Kev was arrested for drug-related stuff.
-The guy who killed Morgo! I don’t even know this guy’s name, but he killed Morgo, so that’s enough. And he only did it because he didn’t want to deal with keeping both Morgo and Mirror together, so he just killed the one that was causing him the most trouble. Complete disregard for life, not even seeing Morgo and Mirror as anything more than things he could turn a profit off of.
- there are definitely more, but, , I’m mad,,
