ATTDC OCs as Taylor Swift Songs (just AHHHH)

[mainly because this post has been in progress for ages and recently i've been doing a lot of listening to taylor swift so here we are....let's just say the accuracies are THERE for these ladies!]

Esther Armstrong — The Archer

Combat / I'm ready for combat / I say I don't want that, but what if I do? / 'Cause cruelty wins in the movies / I've got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you

Mercy Codona — You’re On Your Own, Kid

'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned / Everything you lose is a step you take / So make the friendship bracelets / Take the moment and taste it / You've got no reason to be afraid / You're on your own, kid

Margareta Geringher — mad woman

And there's nothing like a mad woman / What a shame she went mad / No one likes a mad woman / You made her like that / And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out / And you find something to wrap your noose around

Lucy Gardner — mirrorball

When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns / I'm still on that tightrope / I'm still tryin' everything to get you laughing at me / And I'm still a believer, but I don't know why / I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try / I'm still on that trapeze / I'm still tryin' everything to keep you looking at me

Rolande Pelletier — Anti-Hero

It's me, hi / I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me) / At teatime, everybody agrees / I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror / It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

Mildred Carter — Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve

If clarity's in death, then why won't this die? / Years of tearing down our banners, you and I / Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts / Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first

Yvette St. Clair — champagne problems

How evergreen, our group of friends / Don't think we'll say that word again / And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls / That we once walked through / One for the money, two for the show / I never was ready so I watch you go / Sometimes you just don't know the answer

Jeannie Deschamps — my tears ricochet

And I can go anywhere I want / Anywhere I want, just not home / And you can aim for my heart, go for blood / But you would still miss me in your bones / And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky) / And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)

Mitzi Kasatkina — The Great War

It turned into something bigger / Somewhere in the haze / Got a sense I'd been betrayed / Your finger on my hairpin triggers / Soldier down / On that icy ground / Looked up at me with honor and truth / Broken and blue / So I called off the troops / That was the night I nearly lost you / I really thought I'd lost you

Padmavati Solanki — this is me trying

They told me all of my cages were mental / So I got wasted like all my potential / And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad / I have a lot of regrets about that / I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere / Fell behind on my classmates, and I ended up here / Pouring out my heart to a stranger / But I didn't pour the whiskey

Yvette St. Clair always carried two things on her; her watch and her gloves. There was never one without the other. And you knew if she was missing that one or the other. She hunted down Perconte one day; she had sworn she had dropped her watch and had worried that he had mistaken it for all the German watches he was collecting. You never messed with St. Clair’s gloves or watch. Everybody knew that. But that was Yvette. She didn’t speak much but when she did, she could give you hell or high water. And she respected you and followed directions, and most importantly, she knew how to exploit a weakness, especially in the enemy. I believed it was because of how well she knew the ins-and-outs of the enemy; she had known the enemy ever since Paris had been taken. That is what kickstarted her fight in this war and she was intent on finishing it that way as well. She was good with bomb detection, she could dismantle it within five minutes and she was an excellent fighter. I asked her how she did it sometimes; fought so hard and could still stand the next day. She told me it was all about the mystique. She was very proud of that mystique.

are we all just playing a game

that was not meant for us?

a game played by the world

where the only survivors

are the ones in graves

and the ones who stay the course

are deemed heroes?

heroes who are hollow?

[wexhappyxfew]

i’ve been a little MIA recently because of school but uh, remember that little fic idea i had mentioned called And Then The Dawn Came for BoB? welp i can gladly say it has come together just as i hoped it would and will most likely be sort of like a summer fic project that i work on!!

i’m happy to talk a bit about it if anyone wishes ;) just send me an ask, and i’ll give you back some answers <3 (but don’t feel at all that you need to!!)

[wexhappyxfew]

hi! for the character ask game: yvette st. clair with stillness, road and hair! i absolutely adore her aesthetic board so i had to pop in and learn more about her

omg hello!!! thank you for stopping on by the ask box! :) i appreciate it! YVETTE!!!! yvette my beloved!! thank you so much for asking about her, she's definitely an intriguing character i've been giving a lot of thought to recently! awe thanks :) her aesthetic is a *favorite* of mine, mixed with her general vibes and her plotline just *chef's kiss* truly. so thank you!!

stillness: How does your OC act while still? Are they fidgety? Do they have any common gestures or tics? Does their clothing affect how they hold themselves while at rest?

Yvette St. Clair is one word. Paranoid. She constantly lives in a state of paranoia no matter what. And this leads to constant fidgeting. Whether it's twirling the end of her hair around and around, bouncing her leg up and down when sitting, or rubbing her fingertips together nervously in her lap, she's definitely a fidgeter. Yvette can never really sit still. That's her thing. And to sit still it takes her a lot. A little while ago, she used to be a Maquis fighter, poised, controlled, focused. Now, she's anxious, nervous, fidgety, paranoid. She's everywhere in her head and out. The only time she's ever at rest is when she sleeps and even then, she's a light sleeper, so the slightest noise, she's up and aiming at the threat. Why all this has occurred to her comes into play with her extensive history and backstory.

road: What does your OC wear while traveling? Do they have high-quality equipment, or are they making do? What does their gear look like?

Yvette still adorns her Maquis uniform, though, she's switched out a few parts of it for more comfortable and fitting clothing. Being on the run, she had to hide parts of herself and her clothing in order to keep herself safe. She has a navy beret that she keeps in a back pocket, but she also wears her Maquis uniform. In actuality, it's not much of a uniform, more civilian clothes that she's altered to work for a semi-uniform. This includes a dark gray skirt just past her knees, her utility belt around her waist that carries a multitude of necessities that could be important, a thick, cream-colored blouse that cuffs at the shoulders and has golden buttons down the front, with a canvas button-up overtop from a close friend that she lost. Her shoes are boots she scrounged during the invasion, though a size too large, she wears heavy-knitted socks year around. She also is a huge fan of fingerless gloves and watches. She never goes anywhere without either. She's found a way to be incredibly efficient in the clothing, for years on end by now, and finds comfort in her clothing from home, especially in knowing there is no home for her to go back to, ever.

hair: How does your OC wear their hair? Does it have some kind of meaning?

Yvette never wears her hair in any consistent way. It's light blonde though, somewhat long, she usually likes to keep it cut just past her shoulders. However, the hairstyle, especially during the war that it falls into more often than not, is two braids. It works best. It's kept out of her face, it never gets super tangled that way and it reminds her of when her mother would do her hair all through school from youth to her teenage years. Plus, she loves how it looks when she has the beret on! She is a stylist at heart! <3
