🥊🍅💥🏀☀️🌙⭐🍏💧🔮🌸🌺 💜💗💗💗 for either your favorite oc or your least favorite! or both!

i almost said montresor was my least favourite which is Such A Lie because i accidentally got attached and i’m very glad he ends up being Significantly Less Bad than he initially was

anyways. it’s all under the cut (crossing my fingers that it actually works properly) (and i think i’ll answer for annabel and arthur)

🥊 Does your OC prefer to take the lead or follow orders? With everyone or just with certain people? Is there a reason for this?

annabel doesn’t really... choose? she’s fairly smart and tends to consider that the things they’re all going to do will have an effect on other people and what will happen later. she ends up being one of the bigger characters and part of the main group that actually Knows What’s Going On and, by extension, somewhat a leader?

arthur was more of a leader back when he was sailing, and as he got older he was more okay with sitting back and letting things happen. granted, that also possibly got him killed (well, not really. but if you go with the original story, it is)

🍅 How easily is your OC embarassed? What subjects make them flush and why? What event has made your OC the most embarassed they’ve ever been?

i would say that annabel lee isn’t embarrassed too easily? she knows what she’s done, and the embodiment of death is willing to actually physically fight someone for her. that’s not to say that she can’t be embarrassed, though

arthur... just doesn’t tell you. you can’t find anything to make him embarrassed simply because you don’t know anything about him. he’s very good at keeping it as secretive as possible (not necessarily on purpose. he probably thought he told montresor)

💥 Are there any emotions your OC doesn’t know how to deal with, doesn’t understand or hates having to feel? Any reason behind this?

annabel lee tries to be happier, at least in the first part, and tries to just. ignore negative emotions. but she eventually learns how to deal with the more negative emotions. in the first part, she’s also not quite sure about montresor--she loves him, and at that point they’re almost like cousins or siblings. but at one point, it seems as if montresor has just been going around and committing Crimes (they think he’s murdering people.) and she has to figure out how to work through the “he’s practically my brother and i don’t know that he would do this?” and what appears to be in front of her (it ends up okay though). because i personally find emotions difficult and have trouble putting words to them it is also difficult for me to put the right words in the correct order, but i think that this is (at the very least, for a segment of the story) a good summary

arthur,,, i honestly don’t know that we get enough of him to tell? probably the emotions he didn’t express. wait that’s more of a Regret? so then, arguably, affection, but he’s spent time trying to work through that (and raised Montresor, and did a fairly decent job of it, in the end)

🏀 Does your OC have any skills that people wouldn’t expect them to have? Do they have a hobby or pass time that others would consider strange or weird? How did they learn this particular skill or pick up this hobby?

people probably look at annabel and expect her to be Very Soft (which, yeah, she is, she’s a very kind and affectionate person). but she’s also very much a badass? she likes swimming and rock/shell collecting, and also found that she enjoyed helping dupin with Investigating quite a bit

arthur likes to sail. he enjoys exploring and Not-Dying.

☀️ How well does your OC take care of themself? Do they tend to put others before their own wellbeing and if so how often? What is their favourite way to pamper themself?

annabel lee!! is very much!! a person that thinks self care is important!! and i love her!! so much!! she does try to take care of others, but she’s also learned that she needs to have Limits and take care of herself too.

arthur went from “probably selfish, puts himself above others” to “adopted a little boy who was abandoned by his father and would now give him almost anything probably” and we love that development, except that sometimes it might possibly be bad? as in, it helps play into the “Montresor Actually Murdered Him” narrative (as well as possibly the real narrative, in which arthur got sick and probably sent montresor away so that he wouldn’t catch it, which plays into some Other Things that we don’t need to get into right now because it’s. a lot)

🌙 What are some of your OC’s favourites? Favourite food, colour, season, stuff like that! Give some general simple facts that tend to get overlooked!

annabel lee likes cookies, pastel colours (pink/blue/yellow/purple specifically, and also some brighter ones? it depends sometimes), and spring. she likes to garden, i think! she and her fiancee have a nice house and a garden that they work on together and it’s very good :) (also, i like to think that she and her girlfriend [now fiancee] probably tried to propose to each other at the same time)

arthur probably also likes cookies but thinks brownies are neat too, he likes blue/grey/green/gold/magenta, and summer. he also adopted montresor after montresor’s mother died and his father abandoned him, so that’s Very Good Content. arthur really is doing his best,,, (it’s also taken me until this question to realise that i do have a least favourite, and that least favourite is either prospero [MURDERED] or fortunato [MURDERED] but it’s okay)

⭐ Does your OC like to sleep alone or do they enjoy sharing their bed? Have they been to any sleepovers? Have they ever been camping? What did they think of the experiences if so?

annabel lee! very much enjoys cuddling!! she likes to have the Friend Group over for big sleepovers and they probably have big cuddle piles (and they deserve them, honestly). i think all of the characters have sort of been camping? in her case, it was probably with lenore and dupin

arthur tends to sleep alone, save for a few times at sea. he has been camping, and probably took montresor a few times when he was a child.

🍏 When your OC says “I had a bad day” what does that tend to mean? Is it really as bad as they’re saying or are they being a bit dramatic?

when annabel lee says she had a bad day, it means that she definitely had a bad day (although there are probably some occasions on which she might be being a little dramatic, because that’s fun sometimes)

arthur won’t tell you how his day is going, because it probably slips his mind. he’s got a lot he’s trying to take care of, and really, he doesn’t have that many bad days now?

💧 What is something from your OC’s past they’re the most ashamed of and why? What is something they’re really proud of? And lastly what is something in their past that could make them shake with dread?

annabel lee is probably ashamed of the time montresor was convinced she was dead (although that wasn’t her fault). she’s proud of her friend group and how they’ve managed half of what they did.

arthur is ashamed of some of the things he did while sailing (i’m still finishing his backstory + reading the thing for him and stuff). he’s proud of his son and raising him :,)

🔮What does your OC think is their best trait. What is actually their best trait? What about their flaws? Are they one to admit these flaws or do they like to pretend they’re perfect?

i’m going to be honest: i haven’t really thought about what they think their best and worst traits are, simply because it hasn’t come up yet in the story? but:

annabel lee probably thinks her best trait is her memory? she makes a point to remember certain details about her friends, and also things for helping with cases. really, though, she’s also incredibly brave (pluto straight up tells her they’re the embodiment of death, and instead of being terrified, she tells them that it’s cool and asks if they’d like a cookie. i love her). going hand in hand with her bravery, though, it can lead to her being a bit reckless at times? she’s a bit hesitant to admit it, but she will.

arthur is willing to listen and change if he needs to, and is wiling to educate himself. i would agree that it’s probably his best trait (again, we don’t get a Lot of him, especially not where i’m at in the story right now, though). his worst trait is arguably how much trust he can put into people now.

🌸 What’s a sentence that would make your OC’s day better? One that would make them laugh? One that would make their day worse? Why? What words would you have to say to them to completely ruin their day?

for annabel lee, the first really varies. probably something along the lines of “we were successful/didn’t die”. there are many sentences that could make her laugh, depending on who said them and the way they were said. she does find the initial conversation about victor amusing, though, i think (i’m still working on that scene). also how pluto references various other works of literature, she finds some of those amusing. i think one of her (and my own, if i’m being entirely honest) favourites is probably when pluto stops mid-sentence while they’re talking about something important and just kind of goes. “wait. are those two guys still waiting? we have to make sure, we can’t let godot get there”. one that would ruin her day is almost definitely someone else dying or getting injured.

arthur is an enigma, even to me. but in somewhat seriousness: he’d probably be happier if someone told him something good happened, in general? like montresor telling him about making a new friend. he is also rather amused by the fact that montresor has dated a fair share of his friend group (and one of them was on accident). he was pretty bummed about getting murdered/sick and dying.

🌺 What additions would your OC make to their body if they could? Lets say, if they don’t have a tail would they want one? Wings? Horns? Do they wish they could shapeshift?

annabel lee is working through learning to love herself as she is, and would rather Not. she wants wings. and is definitely planning on tattoos, if she doesn’t already have some, probably. she thinks being able to shapeshift would be Neat.

there was a time when arthur wanted to be able to breathe underwater.

💗 Ramble a bit about this character!

god,,, i just love annabel,,, so much,,, she’s very good!!!! she’s my badass child and i love her so much. pluto almost definitely fights someone for her. honestly most of this has just been me rambling about her

Assignment 3 (elaborated): Characters (04-18-18)

Tag: A 22 year-old college student, Tag is your run-of-the-mill, everyday Joe, true neutral individual. His idea of excitement is going out to a bar and drinking 2 beers before going home and getting in to bed before 11pm. His boringness stems from his desire for things to stay the way they are; he has no intention to rock the boat, and he definitely doesn’t understand people who are spontaneous and random. This “leave-me-to-my-own-devices” attitude is thrown through a loop when he moves in to the apartment building, Chestnut Homes, where his fellow residents are anything but normal.

Norman: Norman is 26 years old and Chestnut Home’s resident conspiracy theorist. Any insane theory you’ve heard of, whether on the news or on an obscure internet forum, you can be sure that Norman has an entire evidence board dedicated to it. He firmly believes in the existence of aliens, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, Mothman, and Avril Lavigne’s secret double that the industry replaced her with after her death in 2003. However, for the past 3 years, Norman has been vehemently dedicated to observing and reporting on the activities of Al, another resident of Chestnut Homes. Convinced that Al’s an alien in disguise Norman will stop at nothing to get the evidence that he needs to expose Al’s secret to the world.

Al: Very little is known about the 30 year-old resident. Al never seems to go to work, so how he manages to afford rent is a mystery (though as long as it gets paid on time the landlord could give less of a hoot as to how he’s getting his funds). He never sends or receives any mail or packages, never goes to doctor or dentist appointments, and honestly doesn’t seem to have any friends outside of Chestnut Homes. All of this makes him a prime target for Norman’s crazed “aliens walk among us” theories, and more than once Al has opened his door to find Norman with a tape recorder and headset, listening in. At first it annoyed Al, but at this point he’s resigned himself to it, and even finds ways to screw with Norman and his “findings” every once in a while. The only somewhat valid point Norman has ever brought up against Al was the fact that he has a tail, to which Al rebutted was simply a genetic defect, to Norman’s great annoyance.

The Great Prospero: At 40 years-old The Great Prospero is a disgraced magician, having failed at his debut performance in 1998 when he sawed himself in half (his assistant had called out “sick” that day), and was unable to put himself back together. Though unsuccessful in connecting his two halves together again The Great Prospero’s magic did allow for him to still retain mobility in his bottom half, much to the confusion of modern medicine. Though he did receive his 15 minutes of fame for being the only human able to control his severed legs, the public quickly grew bored of him, and moved on to the next thing. Now The Great Prospero lives in Chestnut Homes, constantly practicing his magic and honing in on his skills, convinced that he will one day get the chance to rise to the top rank of magicians. In the meantime the landlord finds herself repeatedly yelling at him to stop asking every person that comes through the lobby to “pick a card”.

Sophie: There’s not much to say about this 7 year-old girl, seeing as how she’s still just a kid and discovering who she is. As for now, though, she is a very upbeat and bubbly individual, that loves all things great and small; and when one says “all things” they mean “all things”. Sophie loves cats, dogs, candy, marshmallows, balloons, cake, eels, horseshoe crabs, tarantulas, cobras, centipedes, you name it, she adores it. Sophie’s another individual that Norman is perplexed by, referring to her as “The Mysterious Case of The Girl Without a Mean Bone in her Body”, whereas everyone else just chalks it up to her having enough love to spare, even to the creepy crawlies. However, there is one thing that Sophie loves above all else, and that is her pet komodo dragon, Cuddles, whom she’s had since she was a baby.

Cuddles: He’s a 7 year-old, 8.5 foot long, 200 pounds weighing komodo dragon. The only resident that actively fears him is Tag (who, after the events of the film, slowly starts to overcome this fear), but everyone else knows to keep a respectable distance away from him, and especially Sophie when he’s around. Though no one has ever even thought of hurting a hair on Sophie’s head Cuddles is fiercely protective of her, and has sent a fair number of individuals to the emergency room for simply looking at Sophie the wrong way. When it comes to Sophie, however, Cuddles becomes a giant teddy bear, allowing her to snuggle and dress him up in silly dresses to her heart’s content.

Grim: If one was surprised by the lack of information when it comes to Al, they’ll be floored when they find out that even less is known about Grim. His age is unknown, his backstory is unknown, even his true appearance is unknown. Many a times Norman has asked, begged, and even tried to bribe Grim to tell him more about his life, but to all of these Grim simply shrugged and returned back to what he was previously doing. Whether he is truly the Lord of Death, or just one soul collector of many, or even a retired God of the Underworld, is unknown; all that anyone truly knows about him is that he’s a fairly nice fellow and that he bakes a mean apple strudel.

Shakespeare Love...Which Female Character Best Represents The Way You Love?

If reading Shakespeare has taught me anything, it is that relationships are hard, life is not fair, and no, things do not always work out in the end. Those stories would fall into the tragedies, but life and relationships can truly be tragic. The great thing is that life can also be full of comedy and laughter as well.

I think by the end of my freshman year of high school I had read nearly every piece of work by William Shakespeare. Every play I read I attempted to identify with a particular character, or at least recognize certain characteristics within myself. I have my favorites, and some that I find extremely unsatisfying or disappointing for a variety of reasons.

The Plays and The Ladies

MacBeth - Lady MacBeth is the wife of MacBeth and she is strong, tough, and an unstoppable force. She believes in her man, even if he doesn't believe in himself, and will not let anyone stand in the way of what she believes is rightfully her and her man's.

If you love like Lady Macbeth, then you believe in tough love. You are a ride or die chick, and are always team Macbeth. Just remember taunting and emasculating behavior is not the best way to motivate your man. Maybe you are not always right.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Othello - Desdemona is a smart woman who speaks her mind, loves being a wife, and loves her man Othello. Desdemona is proud of her military husband and loves the life that they have created together. She loves her man to fault, and even she realizes he has turned on her, and is going to kill her, she is still on his side.

If you love like Desdemona, then you are a loyal partner, and you love hard. You can be blind to your lover's faults at times, and only want to see the good in those you love. Be careful with your heart, and be sure that your partner is committed and deserving of your love.

Taming Of The Shrew - Katherine Minola is feisty, spirited, and not exactly wife material for the average man of her times. Kate is perceived to be a tough, ball busting woman, but she is actually very intelligent and thoughtful. Once the right man, her husband Petruchio comes along, Kate is able to let down her guard and be herself.

If you love like Kate, then you are a woman who knows her heart, and her mind, and will not settle for less. You can be tough, but you also have a soft heart, but only those special to you get to see it. Just remember that showing your softer side doesn't make you weak.

Romeo and Juliet - Juliet Capulet is a sweet innocent girl who falls head over heels in love with Romeo, in spite of her families rival with Romeo's family. While Juliet is sweet, she is also strong willed and refuses to marry Paris, the man her parents have chosen for her.

If you love like Juliet, then you are a passionate girl who follows your heart, and damn all of those who dare to try to stand in your way. You are willing to go to the end of the earth for your love, but maybe take it down a notch.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

The Tempest - Miranda had been exiled with her father Prospero since she was three years old. Miranda is all that is good. She is a sweet innocent girl who blossomed into a beautiful young lady. Having always been an obedient daughter, Miranda makes the decision to go against her father to free Ferdinand, her love.

If you love like Miranda, then you love with all of your heart. You never want to hurt anyone, or see anyone in pain, but for love you are willing to take risks, and break some rules. Just try not fall in love so fast. He may be the one, but he may not be.

Shakespearean characters are extremely complex, but always fun to analyze and dissect. William Shakespeare wrote these stories in the late 1500s and the early 1600s, but I think we can all still see some similarities in human behavior and relationships in today's society.

We all love differently, which makes life so much more interesting. So which Shakespeare female character best represents the way you love? I was definitely able to pick myself out right away. Please share!

amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_search_bar = "true"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "charleneeckst-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_title = "My Amazon Picks"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "bde8156c25bea43a641efeacddd0a2ff"; amzn_assoc_asins = "080241270X,1539567117,1983507946,1477544585";
