How's your bioshock cc set coming along? I'm huge fan of your content and seeing your announcement a while ago about bioshock themed cc sparked joy in my heart. That great depression-esque art deco just hits different, am i right folks?

Hello! Hi!

I'm so glad you're excited about it :) I'm so excited about it too- but I'll include part of the note I put up for my patrons a few days ago to let them know I'm pausing billing.

I'm waiting for my brain to swing back around to wanting to make cc- because I really believe that when creators push themselves to put out content it can sometimes come out kinda mid.

So short answer is I don't know- long answer is above. There's just so much possibility and fun I can have with this set I don't want to feel for a second I'm not doing it because I really want to.

Sorry that's not really a good answer, but it's the best I have.

xo, Anne

I just saw that beautiful illustration you posted about your oc Moira and it sparked my curiosity immensely. What's her backstory and what's her relationship with Admiral Havelock? I'm so intrigued👀 great work!!

Aww thank you so much!!! Moira is very near and dear 2 me

The fine details of her arc/story are still being planned out (she's going to feature really heavily in the Havelock backstory/biography fic currently in its planning stages), but her deal is basically, tl;dr: "Don't ask what you can do for the white Gristolian cishetero patriarchy, ask what the white Gristolian cishetero patriarchy can do for YOU."

She and her family moved to Dunwall from Morley during the famine that followed the Morley Insurrection, and she meets Havelock while living there (I think by this point he'd have already become a midshipman, but I have to take a look at his timeline again). They develop a genuine relationship and care about each other deeply, but part of the reason why she wanted Havelock specifically was his potential; they both have working class backgrounds, and while he wasn't a high-ranking officer yet, he had the potential to be one, and playing their cards right could mean elevating their wealth and status. The connections he could provide her as a military officer would also be invaluable; it pays to know the right people in Dunwall. Her family is understandably not pleased with her choice to marry a Gristolian sailor so soon after the Insurrection, but her parents baby her and her older sister wants Moira to at least have an out if Havelock turns out to be a massive piece of shit, so once it's clear that no one can change her mind, they don't try too hard to dissuade her (they do grumble though).

Moira plays officer's wife for Havelock, maintaining the family's reputation while also running her own tailoring business, using the connections she makes through her own resources and through Havelock's to propel both Havelock's career and her own. She eventually owns a shop in Drapers Ward, and her Social Game skills contribute to Havelock's promotions over the years. Even though Havelock is thoroughly loyal to the Empire, and it's dangerous to their reputation to openly believe anything else, Moira still believes strongly in Morleyan independence and I'm seriously toying with the idea of her becoming a spy for Morley at some point. She sees beating Gristol (and its class system) at its own game as the key to liberation, and she's fully willing to play any and every side against each other to achieve what she wants. She is a schemer basically lmao.

Anyway! Some Snapple cap fast facts:

She dabbles a bit in magic, making protective bonecharms for herself and her family that can be sewn into bedding or clothing.

Moira loves peaches, and her favorite perfume is a peach-based scent that's produced in Bastillian (Havelock picks up a bottle every time he's sent there).

She survived fucked up Dishonored scarlet fever as a child, and developed lupus as a teenager. She frequently uses a cane to get around.

She and Havelock are both bi and in a polycule with their friends, Penny Whitaker (my partner's OC, a civilian archaeologist) and Josef Vlasák (my OC, Havelock's childhood friend and designated Navy Blowjob Brother).

She's very good at singing :>

Her favorite colors are earth tones, particularly green.

Edited 2 add: She did not see any combat during the Insurrection, since the location of their family home meant they were out of the way of any fighting when Gristol made landfall in Morley, but her father and sister both fought in the war. They are, understandably, the most opposed to Moira marrying Farley.

Thank you for taking an interest in Moira! I don't talk a lot about my OCs but she is very near and dear to me, and I wanna draw her more. (My partner and I are also planning a Call of Cthulhu campaign with them and I am fully planning to draw a bunch of art for it. Vibrating with the force of a thousand suns.)

EDITED 2 ADD AGAIN I'm also heavily toying with an idea for an AU where instead of getting kicked out of the Navy, Havelock gets whacked post-Jessamine assassination and Moira starts the Loyalist Conspiracy (in canonverse she dies in...well currently 1818 but that's subject to change, she is dead before 1837 though). Ofc her goals are different than Havelock's :)

Thanks to @revewrites for the tag! :D

• I ADORE screaming in fics' comments. That's something I love about fanfic: you can actually talk to the authors fairly easily! I find the whole social aspect of fanfic very interesting and I've met amazing people through comments.

• Researching is kind of a double-edged sword but I genuinely enjoy it. The research in itself is what I love most, just like in academia: reading through documents on a very specific topic just to add a few lines in a fic is actually a source of fun. And sometimes you end up not using any of it. That's life.

• Advanced HTML formatting functions are the bane of my existence. I have read through several guides on inserting footnotes and somehow it never worked.

• I received fic-related fanart twice and spontaneously combusted. Twice. (huh is that why I feel like I'm a roasting chicken right now)

• Well. I do want to write professionally someday, I guess.

I was thinking about doing a set inspired by the Franklin Expedition (1845) and starting out the post with “and now some content no one asked for!” but now one person has technically asked for it and honestly that makes me so, so, so happy.

I finally made an account in A03 to share my oc writings, mostly character studies and short stories about my Dishonored OCs. I’ve always been shy about posting my work but I think this is a step on the right direction toward improving my skills and leaving the door open for some interesting discussions.

Here’s the link if any of you are interested: https://archiveofourown.org/users/RaptureZoo

Way too frustrated with art these days so it's only writing stuff.

The Man Who Would Sell Paradise (Bioshock) — Not much to say about this besides the fact that it's a turning point in my writing style: it starts to become more "sensory" from this work onwards.

Free Jazz (Arcane: League of Legends) — Speaking of senses, this is where it reaches its more unhinged state, stirred by the raw emotions that free jazz music evokes in my mind. A character study in shades of music to match the shattered tempo of a broken man (two broken men maybe? three even?? this would get an update if only I wasn't caught in the clutches of other fandoms...)

Engineered Daylight (Dishonored) — 20k words of lore and very minor character study? Yes. It started as something very short but kind of grew on me as the writing process went on, and I'm not in the least displeased by it. Makes me think that I learned a lot from it.

Be still, my heart (Bloodborne) — Nothing to see here, just another fixation on a terrible scholar character that I love too much. It's been written in a hurry, but I like how it came out in the end; oddly tender and sensual although nightmares aren't supposed to be.

Light Catcher (Dishonored) — And my latest piece. Part nerdy art historian stuff, part character study about... a terrible scholar-type again... But it's more about the roots of creation; about how potent a fuel spite can be when you've seen the underside of the world.

Tagging: @rapturezoo @chesthighwater @fantomette22 (and anyone who wants to share their art & writing & ideas!!)
