send me 🕯️to hear my character's inner thoughts about your character.
(status — closed!)
Of all the people in the multiverse to get stuck with, it had to be you. You just had to be born a Tails variant. Just my rotten fucking luck, it seems... don't get it twisted, old man. Just because I'm staying at your house, just because you saved me... doesn't mean I owe you. I would rather drown myself than be indebted to someone wearing the face of the person who ruined my life before it had the chance to start.
No, me driving your daughter around to places she wants to go and making sure no one looks at her funny doesn't mean anything. I'm doing this because I want to, okay? The only reason you caught me repairing Gemerl's shorted-out circuits was because you would've bitched about it if I didn't. I'm not "following you around like a lost puppy", I'm just monitoring you to make sure you don't try to kill Kit and me or try something!
Me being curled up in your lap right now and purring especially doesn't mean anything! And I'm definitely not kneading your leg right now, either, so just shut up, stop staring at me, and keep working on your gay old people stuff.
...But don't you dare try to get up, or so help me God I'll tear your fucking eyes out. I'm comfortable.
Noah has two, because I cannot in good conscience say one was worse than the other.
The death of his father, for sure. Noah’s mother died when he was 2 months old, so his dad was all he had. More than that, his father’s passing happened fairly unexpectedly after a sharp health decline. This left very little time to prepare and handle the handing off of the family business, which just so happens to be the mill that’s more or less the only thing keeping the entire town afloat. It was a lot of change and pressure stacked on top of immense grief, especially when you factor in Noah’s complex feelings re: taking over the mill in the first place.
The second would be, of course, the death of his wife. Jess’ death was also quick, but with absolutely zero warning rather than a few weeks. She simply went out for a run one morning and never came home. Her body wasn’t found for a few weeks, and Noah spent those few weeks just… praying that she had just decided to walk out on him and Mia even though he knew in his heart she wouldn’t. He spent a very long time in a very dreamlike fugue state from the shock after that, more or less going through the motions rather than living.
🍆: Does your OC have any favourite form of affection, physical or otherwise?
Physical affection all the way. Noah is a suck, and you will find him touching Lily more often than not. His favorite seems to be standing behind her and wrapping his arms around her. He’s tall enough to rest his chin on her head, and he likes to just… stand like that while he thinks or rambles about one thing or another.
🍪: What is something that's sentimental to you OC?
Oh, god. Noah’s dad was a pack rat, and Noah picked it up too, albeit to a lesser degree. He has stuff in his closet from high school and even earlier. I’d say the most sentimental thing he hung on to was a photo strip from the yearly fall festival. It was actually from he and Lil’s first date, when they were young and drunk on stolen beer. They both have big smiles and clearly flushed faces. He’s never been able to throw it out.
🍹: Does your OC have any funny anecdotes told about them?
Hands down, the time he googled “can you give dog ibuprofen” not about his actual dog, but about his werewolf girlfriend who just slunk into his house muddy and bleeding. Lil noticed it on his search history a few days later when she used his phone to look something else up, and immediately knew in her heart it was… not about Dina. She asked him about it, and (since Noah’s poker face is… dismal) he folded pretty quickly. “I panicked!” he says.
🍷: What's one of your OC's pet peeves concerning food?
Mia eats her pizza backwards and it makes him want to die every single time. He’ll even avoid ordering pizza purely so he doesn’t have to see his shithead of a kid eat like a heathen.
