Introducing my first creepy pasta oc✨️"Isolde Ashcroft" 💖

Heya pachiko here once more💖✨️

I'd like to drop by this small art right here for my first Creepy Pasta OC say..I call her isolde sometimes.. I had fun experimenting with the design of sigils : D✨️

I'll make a comic related to the Ashcroft curse and I'm not quite good at explaining yet but here's some small detail about her ..Isolde Ashcroft"✨️

Born into a family haunted by a curse that claimed many relatives, people believed it was a punishment for the names ancestral sins. Her father, desperate to break the curse. He had sent her only young brother to an orphanage and wrongfully sacrificed her thinking that a blood sacrifice from their own line would end their suffering. However..the ritual failed, or so what he thought not until a sudden change of things happen, his soul was later sucked in by the ritual in order to revive her in another anomaly being.. Little did he know, After her return..She would seek for an answer and to find his sent lost brother once more.✨️

@the-cursed-daughter replied to this post about how my fics get ungodly long:

stupid jokes and mild suspense are all anyone’s heart should desire, tbh. and the thing about ash and i is that we write ourselves into plots where the story ends up resolving itself in ~5k words even with dialogue. it’s the exact opposite case if it’s a multi-chapter fic, where we’ll ramble for as long as the word document will let us, though ash is super heavy-handed with edits (almost as much as vi, who has literally deleted PAGES of work and left me angry post-its)

I probably need someone to kick my ass and tell me to speed shit up. My fics would be much less redundant then. Although I’m kinda strict with myself when I edit down length (not something I did for PIG, though, you’re right about just going crazy with length on that is intentionally supposed to be a million chapters long anyway lol). I do kinda single out each scene and interrogate it like “BUT WHAT PURPOSE DO YOU SERVE??” But most of the time I’m lazy and don't try hard....

@the-cursed-daughter replied to this reblog of their post about a lotta ygome16 fics being wannabe big bang fics apparently:

i’m (kit) legit going to print out every conversation about your 30k ygome fic and laminate it as one massive collage to make ash feel bad about their 5k fics forever and ever. i’m also going to 3D print you a medal, i think

no, see, i was primarily raised by books, the internet, and three laptop computers, so my fingers are fast as fuck. plus, 30k for me is like two weeks of typing every day for two hours minimum in a fic where there’s a lot of dialogue (dialogue for me goes by super duper fast omg). fics with more description and imagery take a lot longer to get out, but my ygome16 is definitely not one of those fics....

if anything, my word count is probably way too big and a sign that i lack restraint and/or have much of a judicious hand when editing. you have to judge the fic itself, really, not the number of words. indeed, i kinda view my word count as something of a disadvantage, because most people will see it and be like “nooooope tl;dr”. especially because this fic has no actual pairings in it, so there isn’t even a romantic draw for shippers. it's just stupid jokes and [mild] suspense, and i honestly don’t know how much of a draw that will prove to be on its own....

‘til the world ends or i do

@the-cursed-daughter replied to this post where i was tempted to take the easy way out of writing a yu-gi-oh! duel:

isn't this the world-ending duel, because using this card might not be that far off? like, shit gets done, world ends by default?

i must admit that i have been incredibly vague with you about the world “ending” in this fic hahahahaha. i am so sorry. i didn’t want to give it away. there is certainly a world ending...

but anyway, i can say that my plan for the duel was originally something more like the winner of the duel was the loser in the game, and so you had to lose the duel to “win”. buuuuuuuuuuuuuut, i scrapped that for being way too damn hard. i thought (correctly tho) that it would be hilarious to forced seto kaiba to actively try to out-lose against yuugi in a duel, but while i had plenty of jokes ready, i realized i was way shit at coming up with feasible duels. i then reorganized the entire last quarter of the plot to guarantee i got to describe as little dueling as possible. 

and now i want to shorten that amount even more. because i’m so incredibly lazy and this fic is over 30k already....

under the read more are my replies to @the-cursed-daughter‘s replies to my posts hahaha. see, like, before i didn’t have many followers, and i could just spam this blog with impunity. now, though, i’m gonna be nice and you can choose to read this stuff or not....

Topics: gin and spain again, a transformer named mega-garage, and confusing basque for turkish

@the-cursed-daughter replied to this post about alcohol and Gin Tonic:

so what i’m gathering is i need to find a different drink to order when my ass gets shipped to spain in the coming year, yeah? (i love gin and tonic and that’s all i order bc people look at me funny when i say “no, no, just the gin”) or just cut to the chase and ask for salmorejo bc that’ll be the end result. also, that saffron liquor wouldn’t happen to be strega, would it? because that shit tastes like death

What part of Spain and when? You can tell me over skype if you don’t want the details all over tumblr.

I like gin and tonic made the most basic way, but bottles of gin are so damn huge.... I did once bring a bunch of flavored tonics and gin plus some whiskey to a party once, and everyone was like “omg, of course the english speaker brings the gin and irish whiskey! how english!” And then I had to remind everyone that I was American for the ten millionth time, and I told them that this was literally all the booze in my house because I rarely drink and needed people to help me get rid of it all to free up my very limited cabinet space. They definitely helped me get rid of it: mission accomplished.

It was probably strega, the runoff of the witch’s brew that it is.

@the-cursed-daughter replied to this post about cleaning to avoid writing:

they got home halfway through my cleaning and i had a lovely conversation that went something like “no i’m not stealing your tacky shit, also, are you aware of how many SPIDERS you’ve got in here?” and also i was going to just call it a garage,but then there are garages within the garage and the default was mega-garage and that sounds like a transformers character tbh

Mega-garage sounds like the worst or possibly best and most intriguing Transformer. Is it like a very nurturing Transformer that houses other Transformers in the bosom embrace of its garage walls? Or it is like the doctor transformer, again still very nurturing and caring, but also with a biting, quippy edge and utterly incapable of putting up with your bullshit because it’s seen too many good Transformer lose the good fight for life one too many times? 

@the-cursed-daughter replied to this post about confusing basque for turkish:

he was a very strange boy who erroneously assumed i was turkish (not sure how? although there was another girl in class who was turkish and we did have similar names….) and thus used this song under the impression it was turkish. upon finding out i wasn’t, he stuck to his guns that the song was turkish and that i wouldn’t know because i wasn’t. but then we both turned out to be queer so it all worked out, we’ve just been feuding over this song ever since

Well, see? My acquaintance occasionally has its benefits. I just ended your long-held feud. That is also going on my CV. “Diffuser of petty childhood feuds.”

I am still stunned that song even cropped up across the Atlantic, though. Awesome.

but what is basque even? lol

@the-cursed-daughter commented on this post about this bomb-ass Basque song:

okay i don't know why tumblr won't let me reblog this (because tumblr is sick of my shit, probably) so i hope the reply function plays along? in any case OH MY GOD I'VE HEARD THIS SONG YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THIS IS BASQUE? a classmate and i heard this song on some shitty mixtape someone made for me in grade school (this song was the only redeeming quality of the tape, tbh) and have been arguing ever since because he insists that it's turkish

To be fair, Basque is weird. I mostly know this song is Basque because it tells me it is, and because Zea Mays is from [I think] Bilbao. I don’t pretend to speak Basque at all. I also know zero Turkish, so honestly if this song pulled a knife on me in a dark alley and started playing itself and demanding I guess what language it was in, I would have no fucking clue and probably die.

and now i have to hunt this kid down on facebook and PROVE HIM THE HELL WRONG

Show him the lyrics and be like “THIS IS BASQUE”, like he would have any idea what Basque looks like.... But then run the lyrics through google translate and show him that it selects Basque as the detected language, SO THERE. Case closed.
