Hello Toby.

@toby-the-prettybird

Uhhhhhh.... hi? Who? Are you?

[genuine-possum]

me, reopening tumblr after only and hour to see i have 65 notifs: oh what the fuck did i do

me, opening my notifs and seeing a wall of likes and reblogs from you: oh okay it's just jynx heheh <3

I know this is from a few days ago but I just did the same thing a minute ago lmao

I'm coming back from my unplanned hiatus but like I'm bad at it so I end up just going to people's blogs and spamming

missed seeing you're tags <3

hiiiii toby i have questions…

16. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Share one of them?

22. Are there certain types of writing you won’t do? (style, pov, genre, tropes, etc)

57. Do you prefer editing as you write, or waiting until it’s finished? 

16. How many fic ideas are your nurturing right now? Share one of them?

I have a few! some for ghostsoap and some for my ocs! one of the ideas i really want to plot out is a nsfw one involving saying religious verses while doing different sexual acts with Jude/Lev 🫡😂

22. Are there certain types of writing you won’t do?

i won’t do fluff, minus the one off every few months, i also won’t do first/second pov as i’m shit at that 💀

57. Do you prefer editing as your write, or waiting until it’s finished?

I edit as I write. i’m really bad for also coming back and rewriting each paragraph about ten times, constantly editing it until i cLAW MY EYES OUT

Hey there Toby (18) how’s life?

Hey. Life’s good. College is okay, y’know? I just worry about Remy. All alone with our parents for two years, that’s got to be hard on him. It’s why I write to him when I can.

[toby-the-crow]

Well. I'm assuming something did not go to plan?

@genius-built-donatello

??? Huh?? plan? idk what you're talking about. a portal ate me and spit me out in a hellish wasteland where IM BEING HUNTED BY FERAL BUBBLEGUM

[toby-the-crow]

Toby?? Are you okay?? I missed some things but what the hell is happening??

That's what I would like to know. I remember the portal, but... everything after that is fuzzy. What happened?

[toby-the-crow]

This… may be an awkward time to check in, but how are you doing? Are your injuries okay? (Including the concussion. I would apologise for that but I was saving your life so really-)

- @genius-built-donatello

I'm good! I heal pretty fast.

Now if only my arms would stop twitching...

Thanks, by the way. For saving me. I didn't get to thank you earlier.

👻 - do they believe in ghosts? what are their "ghostly experiences", if any?

I imagine it wasn’t something he believed in as a kid because of how he grew up, but as he got older, he became more independent with his thoughts and beliefs and isn’t scared to explore things that weren’t allowed when he was younger.

💥 - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

Arousal is a big one for Lev, he really struggles both mentally and physically when he’s feeling lust or attraction to others. He also has trouble dealing with guilt and shame which is due to the abuse he suffered as a young one.

🍧 - do they still have any objects from their childhood? what significance does it have to them? what would their reaction be if they lost it?

a necklace and bracelet. one is of a chain with a cross that was given to Lev by Jude when he was a boy, and Lev never takes it off. The other is a bracelet his little sister made him with an R trinket that he takes off at night so he doesn’t break it in his sleep. If he were to lose either of them, he’d probably think he’s the worst person to ever exist and doesn’t deserve to live.

💐- create a bouget for them! what do those flowers mean? are any of the flowers their particular favourite?

lily of the valley; purity. green cymbidium orchids; blessing. daffodils; rebirth. yellow pansies; happiness. edelweiss; devotion. jasmine; sensuality. nettle; cruelty. purple hyacinth; sorrow.

🙈- whats a side of your oc that they don't want to show other people?

Probably his ‘jealous’ side, it’s a feeling Lev relates to sin and when he starts to feel jealousy, it’s not a pretty sight. the jealousy tends to spiral him into a bout of guilt and shame and he can be quite impulsive with trying to cope with it.

🍃 - do they enjoy being in nature? what is their favourite outdoor activity?

Y E S. Lev is a boy born from the mucky ground and scattered leaves. he’s most happy when he’s near forests and lakes, loves collecting bugs, caring for his plants and foraging when he gets a chance!

🙊 - what is something your oc will refuse to stay quiet about?

Hmmm, i could take this question in several different ways, but because Lev’s a soft boy, he’ll refuse to stay quiet about folk saying fish are unable to feel pain because ‘they’re cold blooded.’

📸 - do they enjoy having their picture taken? what's their go-to pose? do they like taking photos? what do they take photos of?

he doesn’t like his photo being taken! he hates being in photos but he absolutely loves taking them! one of his big hobbies is photography and he spends a lot of time taking sneaky snap shots of Jude, Roma, Gideon, Grady & all the others while they’re in their own little worlds and keeps a collection under his bed of it all. he loves being able to see genuine emotion is his shots and not just a posed, fake smiles.

💧- random angst headcanon

When Lev was 8, he cut off his hair with his little sisters art set scissors, but instead of himself being punished, his parents punished his little sister because it was her scissors, but it was also to teach Lev a lesson that he doesn’t need to be beaten to feel pain.

✂️ - what is the "last straw" for them to cut someone out of their life? how easily do they let go of people?

…Lev is fucked and loves/excuses his abusers, so he doesn’t have very much of a ‘last straw” energy. he always tries to see the good in people, even if there’s not a drop left.

✏️ - is there a particular quote / lyric that you associate with them?

I am creation, both haunted and holy - creature by half•alive

🌠 - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?

to live happy and healthy

💘 - what traits do they look for in a relationship? do they believe in love at first sight?

Lev never got a chance to really explore what he looks for because of abuse/sexual abuse/trauma, but he likes folk who make him laugh and don’t kill bugs when they find them in their house.

💚 - what things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food?

bugs, sweaters, listening to music, eating apple piroshki & being anywhere near water and nature.
