Happy pride month everyone!! 🏳️‍🌈

[myososheep]

it's the Bird Instincts(tm) Rhea, he can't help it

harpies are known to enjoy perching on high places, as a kid Hibi took a habit of perching on Yoan's shoulders that followed even into adulthood.

he does have to battle those instincts on some occasions, especially later in the story when the group get familiar with Vrisk and Othia

I AM HERE

1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 13, 16, 17, 27, 33, 40 + A, B and F

for any OCs~

HELLO :DD that's a lot of questions, let's get started! (i'm going with my main group of OCs, if you wanna know about any others ask away)

1) What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?

i order it would be : Vrisk, Othia, Alim, Rhea, Yoan, Hibi, Suzka. Vrisk is the one who could stay the longest, until they have to eat basically. Suzka would be the most restless

3) How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)

Rhea and Othia often read before going to bed

Suzka is a fast sleeper, let her get comfy and she's out!

Vrisk meditates, Alim too when tiring himself out exercising isn't working

Hibi uses him light magic to put himself to sleep

Yoan needs something to cuddle, a plush, a pillow or a friend ^^

5)How easy is it to earn their mistrust?

Alim is the most distrustful, close by is Othia

6) Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?

Hibi, Yoan, and Othia would consider it immovable and follow it most (= "they're here for a good reason")

Rhea and Alim see most of them as immovable, and are neutral about it (= "they're here and we can't do much about them")

Vrisk and Suzka are the ones who would find loopholes or straight up break the law if it's in their interest

8) What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?

Hibi was often pressured by peers (children and adults alike) to talk, thinking of his muteness as a tantrum or a choice

Yoan was most told to pay attention and stop forgetting important things

Rhea was told to stop reading so much by herself (which she never understood how that was a bad thing)

13) What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?

Vrisk mostly wear deep reds and purples, Yoan greens. i would say it suit them? idk i'm no stylist XD

16) What makes their stomach turn?

hmm i have trouble understanding this question sorry ^^'

17) Are they easily embarrassed?

Hibi and Alim would be the most easy to embarrass, Hibi because of his shyness and Alim because of his need to be taken seriously

 27) What causes them to feel dread? 

Alim dread being vulnerable, especially in front of others

for Vrisk it's forgetting, she has lived a long life but there's always that fear whenever she forget something

even though she doesn't show it, Suzka is afraid of losing the people close to her

33) Could they be considered lazy? 

during their journey, Othia would be the one considered the most 'lazy', as she is used to the royal life.

40) How sensitive are they to their own flaws?

Yoan, Hibi and Rhea are the most sensitive to them. for Rhea it makes her doubt her place within the group as the journey goes on, Hibi hides his weakness behind Yoan, and Yoan focuses on his strength through toxic positivity in order to not let his negativity take over.

A) Why are you excited about this character?

oh man i'm excited about all of them! it's a story that i've been working on for like 5 years, Hibi and Yoan being the firsts created (explains why i love them so much). i keep reworking them, the plot and the world around them so the story unfolds nicely

B) What inspired you to create them?

i can't quite remember, after i created Hibi and Yoan i just kept finding new people and ideas. though as i fleshed them out some of their traits turned out to be mine as well (or amplified)

F) What do you feel when you think of your OC (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?

i'm always proud of how far they've all come, but i do feel a bit frustrated working on Rhea and Othia for their characters and motivations, as they're the ones who i relate the least.

Chapter 27 (aka one of the new chapters) of Our Two Hearts In Ashland is now posted. I wanted to get 28 done today too, but I don't think that's going to happen. We'll see. It's only 5pm, so all hope isn't lost yet

[notforlackof]

Okay, so the 26 original chapters of OTHIA are put back. Just under 30k words added to the story.

I'll be working on the extra 3 chapters now (or maybe just 2 chapters. Still not sure about the last chapter or not)
