“What’s so Special About the Moon?”
Jamil Viper x Mac
Ch. 1 – Ch. 2 – (Ch. 3) – Ch. 4 – Next – Previous
I never thought I’d finish this chapter…. LIKE HOLY SHIT I HATED OPENING MY NOTEBOOK BUT THE TIME HAS COME Y’ALL!!! I was planning on posting this before Valentines Day, but I got kinda busy and then almost a whole month passed lol! I’m also convinced I no longer know how to write two characters interacting with each other properly… Maybe the break was needed? No song in this one, but there’s so Mac lore and somewhat talking about feelings! The next (and final) chapter of this will be like a romanticized epilogue. Since I’m not sure how much I want to actually write and plan out for this oc, specifically regarding timeline stuff, it’s not gonna be considered “canon” [p.s. The most beta this gets is a quick read through of a 2nd draft after I finish typing it up so there may be mistakes or sentences that don’t make total sense]
The cream stone walls, lined with gold and crimson ceramics, provided an open, airy atmosphere to the Scarabia’s main Kitchen. Gentle breezes shifted Jamil’s long, dark hair while his busy hands expertly prepared baked pakoras. Their delightful deep-fried scent filled the air, making Mac’s already dry mouth water. Another beat or two of awkward silence oppressed the two as the Ramshackle Housewarden lightly sipped at the nearly empty glass of pink lemonade (including a few tiny chunks of dragonfruit).
“If you would like a second glass, there’s plenty left in the pitcher; second fridge to the right, middle shelf. I’d offer to pour but I must make sure these don’t burn.” Jamil finally broke the silence with more than the single-worded responses Mac was using. Xey supposed they couldn’t run away, least they be called out for being a hypocrite.
“No worries, I mean, I wasn’t really expecting you to serve me hand and foot,” they attempted to joke as a way to ease back into conversation.
“Scalding Sand hospitality would say otherwise,” Jamil easily shot back with a hint of mirth in his tone.
“Well,” Mac dragged out in a tired sigh, “I’m not royalty or a wealthy merchant. Besides, I’m not exactly fluent in any desert customs, Twisted Wonderland or otherwise… Kinda the opposite in fact! So, really, it’s no problem between us. I mean! You don’t need to feel like you have to go through any extra effort or ceremony for my sake.” Their hesitant eyes flicked fervently between filling the lemonade and the calm, sturdy back of the Vice Warden. A panicked symphony of little anxieties added an extra depth to xeir already drooping eyes.
Jamil remained calm. So fucking calm and put together that the Ramshackle Perfect could feel xeir anxiety almost turn to frustration. Almost. That deep well of guilt and shame kept them ‘grounded’ while waiting to hear some type of response.
“No need to concern yourself so much, it’s more force of habit than anything else.”
Mac huffed hardheartedly, “Trust me. I’d rather kill myself than even consider being a bother.” It was meant to be a more lighthearted joke but from Jamil’s reaction, he wasn’t used to such crude self-deprecation. A wide-eyed panic flooded his own eyes quickly as if mentally preparing to start damage control.
“Relax,” Mac continued with a snort, “nihilism is like breathing where I’m from.” A domino effect went through xeir body following their wave of flippancy. A harmless eye-roll, followed by a slightly less strained side-smile, the finishing with a light shrug into a slouch. “Besides, you can only have so many near-death experiences before beginning to think about death with casual indifference. You should try it sometimes… might loosen you up a bit!”
“It seems I’ve gotten too used to Kalim’s more literal style of speech.” the Vice replied through lightly gritted teeth; completely omitting any comment about how he did almost die during his overblot. The forced politeness remained and insisted on the reconstruction of his peripheral walls. It was really starting to piss Mac off. Good thing ze were a nosy bitch!
Fiddling in their lap, they sent a quick message to the ‘Ramshackle Freshies’ group chat letting them know not to wait up. Ze suddenly had a new, and challenging, job to do.
“… Considering how well you two got along I thought you shared that similarity,” the second year whispered under his breath, likely meant just to himself. Seriously, Mac thought, was he really meant to be sneaky? How’d he ever get away with it in the past?
“I was a lot like Kalim when I was younger,” xey replied just to watch Jamil startle out of his thoughtful pout. “Yeah, back when I was 15 before… a lotta things happened. It’s why I can, well, I think I can understand your whole dynamic.” They started rambling again and sporadically moving their arms. It was too easy for him to overshare nonsense that had nothing to do with the conversation at hand.
At least xeir slip of the tongue caught the desert snake’s attention. These two working-class students were both so emotionally huddled up in on themselves, manning their defenses, to properly have a conversation. Both desperately trying to claim secrets and information from the other. (The elder trying to understand and provide comfort while the younger planning to gain back some trust, solve their puzzling nature and…. A little of something else).
Becoming so lost in their own thoughts that the clinking ice cubes in xeir drink began to melt. The only other sounds were of the occasional Scarabia students shuffling path the doors, unwilling to enter the dorm kitchen. It was well-known that the kitchens were Jamil’s domain and kingdom. Add-on the weirdly tense vibes emitting from the two beyond the door. Yeah, this wasn’t the ‘Dorm for Mindfulness’ for nothing. No one would be stepping a foot inside until the other two were long gone.
Looks like it was cafeteria of food from the Lounge this weekend.
By this time, the deep-fried delight was finished and barely cooled down before being devoured. Continuous awkward silence would give the poor magicless Perfect indigestion at this point. I guess I’ll bite first, xey thought, making up his mind.
“This…,” a deep, yet hollow sigh, “isn’t gonna work.”
“What won’t work?” Jamil cautiously prompted, taking his time to search Mac’s body language.
“If we can’t chill out and come to some kind of understanding, everyone will be bugging us for weeks. Or worse… they’ll come up with some stupid, half-baked plan to force us to work it out.” They both felt a disturbing shiver imagining their resident idiot(s) locking them in a closet, or something equally cliche. Not that Mac hadn’t tried the same exact thing before realizing set-ups only work in movies and shojou anime. That would be ridiculous.
“And what do you suggest?” He replied after thinking it over for a moment.
“Twenty questions.”
“Huh?”
“You heard me.” zeir shit-eating, mischievous, obnoxiously lighthearted grin was practically audible at this point.
“You think some adolescent party game to learn each other’s favorite color will smooth over our interactions enough to fool Vil or Rook?” was the apathetic, snarky argument the Vice Warden shot back.
Mac released a playful gasp as xey jumped to reply, “How DARE you mock the sacred ritual of 20 questions. Or how much a favorite color can provide a little insight. I would know, I passed my Intro to Psychology class in High School.” Their easy wink was all the transition needed to put the testy air behind them. Besides, there might’ve actually been a small bit of truth in xeir joking attitude.
“You’ve tested it?”
“Online dating was a complete bitch and a half. Any ‘simple question game’ keeps the conversation going and vets out creepy weirdos.”
“But I already know how strange you are,” Jamil scoffed out the quip like second nature.
“Sorry, Babydoll, but you have no idea how much of a Freak I am.” Mac shot back with a laugh at the embarrassed look ascending Jamil’s neck and over his face. He seemed to tense on instinct, but decided to push through while he could still look his older underclassman in the eyes.
“Did these type of lines actually work for you?” He asked, standing up to try to brush of his initial reaction and to get started on their dirtied dished.
“If that’s your first question, then yes! I’m pretty good at adjusting to all sorts of personality types, which is great for a hook-up but doesn’t last long when it comes to serious relationships.” Xey answered somewhat matter-of-factually but still tasted of insecurity. Mac wasn’t ashamed, per say, of the occasional good time, but was borderline unhealthy with their distraction of choice.
With that the young servant raised a judgmental eyebrow that arched with a misplaced possessive jealousy, before becoming slightly thoughtful. Jamil had gone through extensive training in order to gain (and retain) a similar skill, he supposed. Not that it was anything he’d revel to the Perfect sitting across from him. Nor did he have to explain or like the venomous feelings he was actively shoving down the back of his throat. Just another poison to keep from spilling over, he thought trying to ignore the blatant irony of the whole situation.
“How about you?” Never mind!
Mac motioned xeir hand out expectantly. Behind his smudged glasses were gentle, pleading puppy dog eyes meaning to encourage Jamil only made him curl in on himself all the more.
“Is that you’re question? Seems hardly fair to just project the same question back,” He responded in a jilted, caved-off taunt. “Shouldn’t you have enough braincells to think of your own questions… instead of making me do all the work.”
Instead of backing off—or acting offended or snapping back with an equally sarcastic response—they simply laughed. Just… laughed. It wasn’t a patronizing huff like his own or a naive giggle like whenever Jamil said something that went over Kalim’s head. Xey laughed with a heavy nostalgia and in relief of finding the groove of conversation once again.
“Sorry, sorry! The version my… friends, I think, played we’d always have to answer whatever we asked. Prevents anyone getting ganged up on or an imbalanced type of questions.” Xe replied with ease.
Jamil answered dryly in response, “I spent the majority of my life following in Kalim’s shadow; we did grow up together after all. When I wasn’t by his side I either had work, chores or school. This didn’t exactly leave a lot of room for deeper friendships, let alone dating.” Surprisingly, the majority of what he said was the true.
It wasn’t the whole truth, but true nonetheless. Equal measurements of shame and embarrassment for being a servant always made the young Viper hesitant to pursue any real relationships while in middle school. Casual friends were one thing, superficial and somewhat difficult to maintain, but achievable. Dating, however, would take his focus away from his duties to Kalim (and possibly endanger the heir)
While Jamil’s thoughts were grim and filled with resentment, the other student hummed in consideration. How the two connected to people; how they both learned how and when to respond to the people they’re forced to be around felt oddly similar. Not the same, not by a long shot, but definitely similar.
“Well isn’t that just completely depressing,” Mac started to say under her breath before quickly transitioning to their own question: “Okay, well, how ‘bout your favorite type of music?” The answer they received back was a ‘cut-the-bullshit’ type of frown. Clearly, he didn’t consider it an equal exchange.
“Okay! Fine! What was your dream job as a child?”
This time Jamil couldn’t control his reactions so seamlessly. The Vice Warden’s eyes bulged as the startled intake of breath entered his body. His entire body took on a different type of hardheadedness to guard compensate his apparent embarrassment. He’s been feeling embarrassed a lot lately.
“Oh c’mon~ Every kid had a silly dream job! I probably went through a dozen, at least. So just spill already.” Ze said, trying to urge him to uncoil the tension from his jaw.
“It doesn’t matter! I knew I was destined to remain a servant my whole life, there was no reason to bother making silly plans.” Jamil hurriedly snapped in a desperate attempt to change the subject.
“Doesn’t mean some 5-year-old Jamil didn’t want to be a firefighter at some point.” Mac countered.
“I never dreamed of being something so foolish and mundane as a firefighter…” Jamil said, raising a defiant eyebrow.
“But you dreamt to be something or the other! C’mon, Viper, throw me a bone here wouldja?”
The two stared the other down, prepared to go back and forth. Clean-up had already been finished by the end of the first question and now Jamil brought out two, small fruit plates. It was a nonverbal offering to keep the conversation going despite his own dodgy replies. How was it possible that relatively harmless banter could be pulled from a subject as touchy as his lack of childhood?
Mac’s ease and understanding, even with their awkward or overbearing, of conversation had charmed the Viper’s unsettled and distrusting nature. If xey weren’t painfully honest (and particularly bad at keeping secrets for long), Jamil would have been worried she was a spy. Whatever I tell them—Kalim’s probably already told his club members, so there’s little harm to be done, he thought begrudgingly.
“A dancer,” his soft whisper blew past the lightly dripping faucet and over the desert’s dunes. In the heart of his answer—an unexpected level of raw honesty—cascaded over the billowing heat in a brutal, stubborn calm.
Mac wasn’t surprised, but he smiled at the second year anyway. That soft look, a fresh morning dew covering the forest floor in the late spring, both cooled and energized the flustered boy. It was an expression he wasn’t often familiar with; such genuine patience and pride over 3 short syllabus was uncalled for when it came to a servant like him. Such an insignificant moment held so much weight when they looked at him like that. A sight and experience that a much younger Jamil would’ve thought impossible to even dream of.
“I’m pretty sure I wanted to be a ballerina, for a time.” A hushed excitement at their shared interest.
“Really?” He’d seen them dance and… never got that impression before.
“Yeah, for like a week. Then it was a police officer, before I found out how much running around I would have to do. After that it was an engineer; who knew there was so much math involved? For a little bit I was dedicated to become the President.” Xeir answers tumbled out easily with plenty of humor behind each one.
“… President of what?” Jamil asked in confusion.
“Of the country! There’s not a whole lotta royal families back on Earth, but anyway, Politics is messy and absolutely soul-crushing. I would probably have twenty breakdowns a month even attempting to jump into THAT cesspool!”
“Ah…” Jamil mentally noted the casual explanation over the bewildering differences between Mac’s world and his own. It wasn’t the easiest to wrap his head around a country with no king, queen, or Sultan.
“Right?! Felt like I wanted to try a little bit of everything, but I always came back to performing on a stage…” For a moment there was a wistful look in their eye before quickly being pushed away.
“… In what way? If you don’t mind me asking.”
“Oh, anyway I can. A pianist, an actress, a singer; all I wanted to do since I could remember was to entertain a crowd of people on a stage while I felt those warming lights beaming down on me.” The wistful expression was back with a small tug of a smile.
“Why tell me all of this in the first place?” Jamil knew he had already asked multiple questions at this point, but he had to know. He had to know everything that made up the strange magicless student across from him even more than he wanted to conceal himself. There was just an insatiable need to be their confidant, an archive of Mac Trivia, to just be anything xey let him be. It was strange and powerful and scared him almost as much as they intrigued him. It was an emotional tight-rope he never expected to need to walk, even now, as he studied his companion’s reaction.
“Because even if I do forget it all again, maybe I won’t have to loose myself entirely. Maybe then at least a part of my story will live on and be remembered. Why would people tell stories or gossip or do anything at all, if not for it to be at least remembered by someone?”
They both took a quiet moment to contemplate the sudden serious tone. It wasn’t the fighting or finger-pointing from earlier, but the air felt different from before. Like the next topic, which was Jamil’s to choose, would make or break the tension that was floating around all day between the two of them.
But what in the Twisted Wonderland was he supposed to ask zer after all that?!
There were so many things that still remained a mystery when it came to who Mac was or where they were from (or even why they were sent here in the first place). An uncountable amount of possible questions sped through the 2nd year’s head, trying desperately to pick the right one.
But this—this moment—was an opening to move forward from any awkwardness. Moving past the caring, nosy nuisance to a bond made of understanding. And if Jamil was honest, something he rarely was but making an effort today, than there was really only one specific he needed to know in the moment:
“The sun or the moon?”
“Huh?”
He had blurted it out less like a question and more as an overall demand. An unconscious hiss slipping from between his twisted lips and tempting tongue. Truly, an oversight considering how much the Scarabia resident was overthinking his options… he somehow lost control of his words.
“Sorry! Um… I meant to say, are you a day or night person? Basically do you prefer the Sun or the moon?” Jamil internally cursed himself as he back-pedaled. The earlier courage lost and desperately hoping to skirt passed awkward tension that might follow.
“Bullshit.” Oh for Seven’s Sake!
Mac slowly let xeir eyes glide over each of Jamil’s facial features. Thinking. Analyzing. Committing to memory the very real, very vulnerable intensity the original question had posed.
“The Sun and Moon are considered two halves of a whole, even if they aren’t necessary opposites; why should they be compared in the first place? Why put two celestial bodies against each other? Figuratively or metaphorically.”
Suddenly, the non-native Twistian held the same intensity as Jamil’s initial slip had if not more. It was the stubborn authority he felt in the laundry room—the same focus and need to understand. To be understood. To struggle with the truth while desperately, insistently, needing it to be said.
It scared him. More than hostage situations or poison testing, Mac scared and impressed Jamil more than he could describe. The fact that they were saying exactly what he needed to hear since he was 6-year-old.
“What’s so special about the moon? The sun will always outshine the moon—it can’t even make it’s own light. Then forced into the shadows without the Sun’s light.” He stated in response, trying to opposing his shaken heartbeat, but his tone sounded recited. It was a line he’d told himself time and time again as a mantra from his parents.
“I don’t think so,” the Ramshackle Perfect answered as simply as breathing, “because the moon is beautiful and mysterious and needed. It can do things even the sun cannot. Yes, the sun is beautiful and lovely and celebrated—but I don’t think you understand just how important the Moon is!”
Jamil responded in the last possible way either students expected him to: laughing his ass off. It was hand to describe any undertones of his laughter, but it wasn’t cruel or crazed like when he overblotted. A familiar bite of bitterness lingered in the air while the body of his laughter rang with astonished sincerity.
This was not the same Vice Warden that had tried to scheme against his childhood friend for a small taste of freedom. It wasn’t the snippy, exasperated retainer simply building back his reputation. Nor was it the frustrated, closed off second year that had been yelling all bout how the Perfect didn’t understand him.
He finally felt a little more free, placated and relieved, now that he’s taken a moment to grow. To learn. To feel and be validated in being his own person. Allowed to be better and show it to someone; show himself, at least partially, to Mac.
------
I hope you’ve enjoyed the story so far!! This is one of the longest fiction works I think I’ve committed to! I’m between two different songs to round this story out (Blue Moon by Billie Holiday or Here Comes The Sun by George Harrison) but I have an ongoing playlist of songs that remind me of Jamil. Some of them are jokes or ironic, some a little bit more spiteful, and others that really embody aspects of his character… at least to me lol! Feel free to add random songs that make you think of Jamil and if it’s not already in the monster of a thing.

schneider hc’s!!! pt 1 :)
these are my schneider x little sister!reader hc’s!! part 1- basically everything physical affection related bc im a touch starved bitch w/ anxietyyyy
if anybody has any specific requests for hc’s my asks are open :)
warnings: mentions of anxiety & vomiting, also a car crash & trauma bc im incapable of writing characters with a happy backstory oop-
-so for context, this is the backstory of my oc who’s schneider’s half sister (thats the perspective this is written from). you’re probably one of the kids of his 3rd or 4th stepmom, just bc I love the idea of schneider’s sister dating Elena (which ill get into on another post) you’d start out as 15-16 in season 1 time. 
-you were going to LA to visit schneider with your mom and got into a car crash. your mom didn’t make it. you did, but ended up with partial amnesia and a shit ton of trauma woo fun
-so basically you end up living with schneider after that bc we all know schneider & your dad is an asshole and would totally just abandon you in another country after something like that
-but anyways schneider is the best brother everrrrr
-also big father figure vibes
-schneider is a very affectionate person. you grew up without him and now that you’re staying with him he tried to kinda like not be too much at first but as soon as he knew you were okay with being touched just in general boom he’s a big teddy bear
-he’s very affectionate bc he grew up very isolated while also having a love language of physical touch and quality time and so did you so you’re besties
-schneider gives the best hugs ever
-he gives off the vibes of somebody who would be super warm, always smell good, and kinda like cradle your head when he hugs you and like stroke your hair sdghjgs
-somebody hugged me like that once and it was literally the best thing ever so i just know schneider would hug like that
-this man is so gentle
-he hugs so soft. like when he’s holding you it’s so comforting how gentle he is
-like he is so soft and warm and like it’s adorable because he’s such a tall and big guy and he could be intimidating if he tried but instead he’s sweet and cuddly and literally would never hurt a fly
-FOREHEAD KISSES
-it’s canon that he said forehead kisses are underrated and theyre super comforting so he gives you them all the timeeeee
-ok so basically bc you have bad anxiety and nightmares from the car crash and just in general when you’re feeling anxious schneider will either help you take deep breaths with him or try and comfort you 
-or both lol
-comforting you during a panic attack looks like rubbing circles into your back and taking your hands in his and letting you play with his rings. 
-HIS RINGS REMIND ME OF DAVID’S RINGS IN SCHITTS CREEK SDHGD
-if you start crying he’ll wipe away your tears gently and just let you lean on him
-“hey, shhh, it’s okay. I got you.” 
-for me my anxiety makes me really nauseous so if you do have to throw up like I do sometimes, he‘ll hold your hair back and rub your back
-I feel like he’d definitely know how to deal with you being nauseous and throwing up really well cuz when you get drunk you throw up sometimes right? Im not 21 yet I have no idea lmao but im gonna guess that he would know exactly how to take care of you when you feel sick like that
-he knows it’s hard for you to eat when you’re anxious so he’ll at least try to get you to stay hydrated, whether that’s water or gatorade and he’ll even sit and drink some with you
-he doesn’t usually try and get you to eat, thats lydia’s job lol
-when it comes to nightmares he’ll let you sleep in his room after one no questions asked. 
-his initial instinct is to just hold you but he’ll wait until you initiate it at least the first time, he knows this is hard and he doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable
-cuddles with schneider are just like his hugs, he’ll let you snuggle into his side or rest your head on his chest and he’ll just hold you and stroke your hair & your cheek
-before anybody says anything schneider is literally such a sweetheart, he will cuddle you to sleep no questions asked because for somebody who grew up (and still is) really really touch starved, I would kill for somebody to cuddle me to sleep right now 👏not👏everything👏is👏sexual👏
-schneider is a cuddly teddy bear thats all

all the questions for main trio :D
HOOOO boy long post ahead. it was fun tho.
1. What is your character’s greatest secret?Does your character have good aim?
all 3 of them do, but ray’s aim is probably the most precise.
2. What would history remember your character for?
wink wonk
3. Does your character prefer to work in silence or with noise and of what kind?
Moiren and Ray: silence
Hayve: Quiet ambience, but it doesn’t really matter what type. As long as it’s quiet, cause otherwise he’ll get distracted.
4. Has your character ever been handcuffed or tied up?
Moiren and Ray: no
Hayve: He’s been “handcuffed” but it was rope, not a handcuff. “Tied up” isn’t the right word for it tho lol
5. Can your character cook?
all of them can, but none of them are good at it. Hayve is probably the best but he’s still not great.
6. Do any of your characters have depression?
Yea. Of the “main three,” Ray definitely has it but Moiren probably has a much more minor case of it.
8. Who has the worst luck?
It’s probably safe to say all 3 of them, but prob Moiren or Ray. Of all my ocs, Aisa and/or Alistair.
9. Could your character win an arm wrestling competition? How well would they do?
Moiren: She could, unless it’s against a really strong person. She’d do okay– she’s strong for her age but not like, super strong.
Ray: He isn’t as strong as Moiren, but he’s still decently strong so he could potentially win. He might not even try to win though, so he’d lose.
Hayve: He could definitely win. Especially if he could earn money out of it.
10. Would your character give up the chance to come back to life as a god so that someone else could be saved?
It’s a yes all around the board– though, it depends who the other person would be. Ray would be the most likely to do it regardless of the person, and Moiren the least.
11. What is your character’s favorite historical or fairy tale figure?
ray’s would be the witch and warrior duo from a legend  his mom told them when they were kids.
12. Would your character marry someone their family didn’t approve of?
i mean, all of them probably would, but considering they are each other’s family it would take a lot for one of them to not approve of someone
13. Do/Did any of your characters have large ears they had to grow into as a kid?
moiren and ray: not particularly
hayve: no, but his head was Big as a toddler
14. Are any of your characters nonverbal?

15. Did your character ever want to be a cowboy?
moiren and ray: no
hayve: no, he wanted to be a pirate
16. How does the way your character present themselves in public differ from how they are in private?
moiren: she comes off as very cold/mean/uncaring/apathetic in public, and tho she isn’t the NICEST person out there, in private (aka mostly with her brothers) she does genuinely care about things and she can be gentle. or she can be mean but it’s with love.
ray: he is unbelievably shy but in private he can get more.. mouthy. like, he doesn’t really hesitate to shut someone down if they’re being dumb (looks @ moiren).
hayve: he acts very confident about everything but he Is Not
17. How petty is your character?
moiren: Very Petty
ray: he’s not really petty
hayve: moderately
19. Does your character like carrots?
moiren and hayve are indifferent to them, Ray does not like them but he tolerates them because it’s Food
20. How self-confident is your characters?
moiren: meh. she has some self-confidence, but she also looks down on herself a lil too much.
ray: he barely has any
hayve: he underestimates himself a bit
21. Do any of your characters have heterochromia?
nope. i was considering giving nile heterochromia for a little, though.
22. Do any of your characters have someone named after them? Or are they named after someone else?
moiren was almost named after someone, but in the end she wasn’t.
23. Do any of your characters have facial markings?
ray has an old scar on his forehead, but it’s barely visible and also hidden behind his bangs.
24. What is your character’s opinions on squirrels?
moiren: she believes that they are all low-key evil
ray: he feels guilty the times he has to eat them
hayve: he doesn’t really care either way. sometimes they hunt em
25. Does your character experience sexism for the job/title they hold? (ie: she’s a girl, she can’t be x,y,z because only boys can be)
moiren’s probably experienced some, but like not a LOT. she’s more likely to get comments based on being a young (16 year-old) girl doing some tougher jobs than ray is even though they are literally the same age
26. Are any of your characters missing fingers?
no but that’s a Good Idea
27. Does your character know how to tie different kinds of knots?
yes, but ray is probably the best at it.
28. How much does your character giggle?
moiren and hayve: they both snicker more than giggle
ray: a pretty decent amount and it’s Adorable
29. Are any of your characters nameless? (In that there is no legal record of them existing, they just don’t have names in canon, or history remembers them but not their name?)
technically there wouldn’t be any legal record of moiren and ray, i have some characters that probably won’t get names in canon because they are minor, and there’s some characters that are nameless to history
30. How independent was your character as a teen?
moiren: she’s pretty independent, though she does do a lot of things with ray (or hayve, but typically if she’s doing things “alone” it’s with ray.)
ray: same as moiren
hayve: he basically took over the role of guardian for moiren and ray when he was a teen so he was pretty independent. he had to be.
31. How much does your character care about their appearance?
all of them care a little, but there’s only so much they can care when on the road
32. Do you have any characters who are twins?
moiren and ray are twins. there’s one more set of twins, but only one of them is actually gonna be a character in the story. The other one does come up, though.
33. Does your character like math? How good are they at it?
hayve probably likes math the most, but none of them are good at like. complex things. they each know enough to survive in the world tho
34. Do any of your characters collect sea-shells or wear shell jewelry?
hayve collects sea-shells a little. he did more-so as a kid.
35. Naptime, yes or no?
moiren: no.
ray: In Theory
hayve: nope.
36. Would your character prefer to sit around and chill or be up and moving and doing something?
moiren: Definitely doing something
ray and hayve: a little of both
37. Did any of your characters have a fever they almost died from as a child?
technically not a fever, but moiren and ray were premature and moiren’s lungs were weak so as a newborn she was bouncing back and forth a little
38. Does your character worry about breaking the rules and getting in trouble?
none of them really do, though ray is the most nervous about it.

kinda went off the rail yesterday and made a dragon age elf oc called Micah, who is based on gwindor and I plan this elf’s story into finley lavellan’s story arc in inquisition and now i decided that after my lavellan and dorian breaks up one year post-trespasser in this fanfic arc i planned for them, they aren’t gonna get back together by the end of the fic. instead, my lavellan is gonna keep taking a break from this relationship and im gonna leave it open like that. like, im not sure if i wanna ship my lavellan with this Micah (whom i actually really love right now), but lavellan x dorian is making less and less sense the more i think about it. And honestly, i dont think any sort of development dorian can have would change anything substantially.
i always have a rough time writing lavellan x dorian, cause the fact that dorian is tevinter, the fact that he shares kinship with slavers and slave owners is just always fucking ridiculous on its own. And given that lavellan is an elf in dragon age universe and there is this history of tevinters enslaving his ancestors and enacting literal and cultural genocide against his people, i always have a hard time justifying lavellan falling in love with dorian and im pretty sure other ppl has that problem too. Also, even though dorian is the head of his house now, we still dont know if he dismisses the goddamn slaves his parents owned, so there is also this bullshit. Then there is dorian “i almost definitely slept with elven sex slaves in the elven slums--who are either socially marginalized people forced into sex work or victims of sex trafficking” pavus talking about how slavery isn’t that bad in tevinter, and then turn around and wax poetic about how same-gender relationships aren’t meant to be about love in tevinter wah wah wah. Anybody who read the codex entry on tevinter culture in da:i knows that same-gender relationships are only frowned upon in tevinter imperium when it disrupts the cis-heterosexual political marriages between noble mage houses, same-gender sex and relationships are in fact ENCOURAGED in tevinter when it happens between slave owners and their slaves. so yeah, i said dorian has never been a fucking victim before, well, this is why. sexuality and class privilege/oppression are intertwined in real world and in fictional universes that mirrored the real world and believe or not, being the top of social hierarchy means dorian got the better end of the bargain. he said, oh, “anything between two men, it’s about pleasure”. yeah, specifically a slaver owner’s pleasure in violating and further dehumanizing a person lol!!! but sure dorian you are so fucking oppressed.  im just. i have been wary before, of dorian. because of this slavery thing, and i never really talked abt why. and im just. i am even more wary now. and i still like dorian i guess, but, lmao. i just can’t make lavellan and dorian some sort of great love story, cause it really ain’t one. lavellan fell in love with dorian cause i insisted on having romance interests in every single one of my dragon age playthroughs--especially when it’s a canon one, but honestly he really shouldn’t have. in my fic, they broke up cause  finley lavellan knew dorian used to whore around in tevinter’s elven slums/alienages, and someone lied to lavellan and said that dorian is still doing that with lavellan living at his estate, and even though lavellan knew abt the truth later, he still felt gross about sharing a bed with someone who slept with potential victims of sex trafficking, so, they are taking a break for now. it’s just bad ok, lavellan is also in the right, ok. fuck knows whats gonna happen in da4, i doubt it’d change anything--and that’s speaking on the pretence that dorian will even be involved in da4.  i have this headcanon abt lavellan crafting a pair of rings for him and dorian in his forge as their engagement rings, i will retain that headcanon about the engagement rings, but the ring might not be for dorian.  anyways this is elf oc is based on gwindor, and gwindor’s story is that he was an elven lord (presumably a noldor elf) of hidden kingdom of nagathrond, and he was a valiant and fierce warrior who literally charged inside The Devil Himself (morgoth)’s stronghold with his company after his little brother was brutally executed (god. poor gelmlir) in front of the elven host, unfortunately for him, everybody in his company is killed and he alone was captured and enslaved and forced to work in morgoth’s mine for 14 years. apparently during the 14 years, he was “mutilated”, his hair turned grey during the process, and the experience “sapped his strength” (i think it’s like, spiritual strength, cause it seems elves in tolkien universe draws strength and power of all kinds from their fea aka their spirit). he eventually escaped and he lost his hand in the process, and almost died from losing the goddamn hand, but then he got rescued by another elf. BUT this elf (beleg) got accidentally stabbed to death by his disaster of a human best friend soon after. And gwindor, who’s already dealing with a truck load of trauma himself, was kind enough to comfort and and guide this disaster human dude (who went in shock cause he can’t accept what he did with his own damn hands) and brought him to nagthrond aka his home. but when gwindor needed love and support the most from his loved ones, they all stop listening to him and he lost his previous influence on his people and nobody is there to help him through his trauma, and he ended up feeling like he’s unfit to be loved, which is bullshit. eventually this disaster human dude’s dumbass advice got him and everybody he loved killed. And i was like it’s pretty bullshit that this obviously traumatized character is ostracized from his community for being traumatized, instead of getting the love and support he deserves and i said thats bullshit because in this house traumatized people get to have live happily ever after. so my desire to make gwindor happy inspires the creation of this elf oc.  now dragon age elves can’t really be lords or ladies or prince or princess, but the keeper and the keeper’s children are usually descendants of the elven nobilities of the dales, so, that should be close enough. Also i want more dalish mage characters anyways. This elf oc is a dalish mage, his name is Micah and he’s the First of his clan, as matter of fact. I wouldn’t say he’s exactly like merrill, but he does have merrill’s hair colour (dark raven hair but his hair is long), merrill’s eyes (more hazel than just green, but yeah) and merrill’s skin tone (light/pale). he’s also the more studio type, like merrill, and has a more bubbly personality than either of my lavellans. This dalish mage used to love the fade, and he loved the ancient songs he witnessed in the fade the most. Micah also has a beautiful voice and he’s very good at singing and he always carries a little lute with him to accompany his tunes. When he’s not nose deep in tomes about spells and magical theories and ancient texts, he’s out singing in the woods with his lute--he only performs in front of his family or his closest childhood friends since he’s not a people person. While finley lavellan has this appearance of gentleness, he can be quite ruthless and cold. And lavellan is more of a natural leader type of person. Micah, on the other hand, is truly a soft and gentle soul and is really not the kind to truly be a leader of any kind. 
so what happened is that, Micah is from a clan that’s always travelling around ferelden. they settled around denerium when the fifth blight broke out (that was events of da:o), but specifically he went to the denerium alienage to trade some goods with the shop keepers at least two weeks prior to the warden’s arrival at the alienage. However, he noticed the presences of the tevinters, become worried for the alienage’s safety since he suspects these are slavers, and he’s locked in the quarantine inside because of the spread of the plague. shianni found him trying to warn the sick alienage residents and shared her concern, but at the time shianni is just suspicious and not openly oppose to the tevinters’ presences. now in da:o, im pretty sure if you are an elf warden at least, you can feign sickness and get “admitted” in, but then you’d get stripped of your belongings and had to fight 14 tevinter enemies with literally no weapon so im pretty sure you weren’t supposed to do that (i did that cause i was a dumbass). so what happens is that Micah tried doing that, he ended up fighting a dozen and more soldiers with no weapon or any sort and was quickly subdued. And he was shipped away with the rest of alienage residents before the warden ever got to confront the tevinter slavers unfortunately. he just turned 20. Then after his disappearance, shianni becomes more openly oppose to the tevinters’ presences at the alienage since she’s more convinced that something fishy is going on.   so...a tevinter magister had him....for 10 years. that guy is a blood mage and he’s also like, basically danarius. so like, a demon. Not gonna go into detail about what happened because i dont like to talk too much about actual events that caused the traumas, i just wanna talk about the recovery and dealing with the trauma. but, basically, micah revealed right away that he is a mage, hoping the status of being a mage’d get him released in tevinter but that didn’t happen and the magister kept using his blood to fuel his spells, since his blood is potent with magic. later, the magister also experimented on him with semi-refined lyrium to make his blood even more potent but the experimentation failed and permanently blinded Micah and turned his hair white and he received a long scar from the left eye that goes straight down to his lips and continues down the right half of his torso. Basically, instead of losing a hand like gwindor, Micah lost his sight. And apparently, in canon, king maric got captured by this tevinter blood mage magister dude and alistair had to go and save him or whatever but king maric was hooked to this machine and trapped in this dream-state in the fade so that the blood mage can use his blood and life force to fuel spells. so after Micah is blinded and disfigured and deemed not as “useful” as he is before, what happened to king maric sort of happened to him, but he didn’t spend long enough time hook to the machine so he isn’t gonna die once he’s unhooked from the machine. for a while, Micah doesn’t even know he was trapped in a dream, and when he realizes he’s trapped in the fade, he couldn’t get out and back into his body. Events of inquisition start to happen, this tevinter magister is obviously a venatori, and he went south after the inquisition started to fight the venatori everywhere, probably as reinforcement. he brought Micah with him. And i think my lavellan either confronted this blood mage at hissing wastes (maybe it’s the moutaintop camp? maybe it’s after you cleared out the venatori at hissing waste and he came as reinforcement?). not to digress but i’d love to fight a blood mage in inquisition but that was not meant to be, so it’s happening in this oc fanfic scenario.  Inquisitor finley lavellan had a very hard time trying to get to this guy, and know he’s a quite a powerful mage, and he is forced to retreat with his companions and inquisiton soldiers to the camp. This time lavellan decided to sneak in while his party member created a distraction outside, and once inside the camp, he discovered poor micah hooked to a machine--presumably the source of the magister’s power. pegging the machine as something that traps the elf in the fade, lavellan connects himself to the machine and went to find micah in the fade. With lavellan’s help, micah is able to break away from the eternal dream and wake up. his body is obviously frail from spending a few years immobile, so lavellan tried to sneak out with micah in his arms but they were confronted by the magister who brought numerous archers and ambushed them at the lobby (inside some mountain at hissing waste), lavellan opened one or two rifts to suck in the archers, and petrified the magister with earth magic enhanced by the anchor’s connection to the fade (the magister is immobile and his flesh is slowly hardening from the earth magic but he’s alive and acutely and painfully aware of what’s happening to his body). Micah is the one who got the tear the magister from limb to limb with his own magic and explode him into chunks of meat, avenging the abuse that’s done to him. and finley brought micah with him to skyhold and there he rests and recovers. finley,  inquisition mages (not dorian though, him being tevinter mage and a mediocre healer and all, it’s more like, vivenne and solas actually) all help to nurture him back to health. he become healthy again, even though he is still blind and his hair remains the same grey white colour and the scar that disfigured his face is unremovable. Micah unfortunately becomes afraid of the fade and hates it when he dreams, sometime he’d wake up terrified, not knowing if he wakes up from a dream or if he just drops into one. It was with finley’s help that he become more aware of what’s dream and what’s reality. while Micah’s at skyhold, micah and finley becomes good friends as finley constantly visits him and even brings him a lute after knowing micah loves to play and sings. they become close enough that micah is comfortable singing to finley. micah didn’t get involved with inquisition business while he’s recovering, however, he did discover a way to “see” with the tap of his feet and sounds bouncing off object, kinda like how toph (btw i love toph) “see” with passive earth bending. i like to think micah always favours earth magic and telekinesis and rarely uses other elemental magic. Micah ends up combining his telekinesis skills with a form of weaponizing sounds (it’s sound bending lmao) and develops something very close to the force mage specialization in da 2. aka pushing people off with force of sound, manipulating gravity. And Micah uses sound to “see”, basically. And singing evolves from a hobby to necessity, since humming/singing or playing an instrument allows him to “see”, so that he’s not trapped in an eternal darkness.  with finley’s help, micah finds his way back to his clan still wandering around ferelden and they tearfully welcomed his return after presuming him dead for years. That was like, right after the events of inquisition main game concludes. Then three years later, micah crosses finley again in tevinter out of all places. turns out that micah has seen the dread wolf/solas in the fade and he was offered to join him but micah is loyal to finley and did not answer. More importantly, ever since micah is back, he hate it that everybody pities him. even though his clan loves him still, they treat him like a broken fragile thing who can’t take care of himself. And micah, is able to walk around and goes about his daily business as anybody who has their sights, is sick of people pitying him. The fact that he is no longer the First as he is seen incapable of becoming the keeper angers him (and micah is almost never angry), so he willingly left the clan and started his own journey to find out more about the dread wolf and that journey allows him to cross path with finley again. when micah met finley again, finley has already break up with dorian and now lived in the cottage he built somewhere in the woods at the outskirt of some city. There, they both devised the plan to venture out to ruins of Arlathan as companions to find out the truth about the blight and solas’ plan/stopping solas.

the salty af munday meme ( only accepting - monday )

☀ What’s your rp pet peeve?
oh my f u c k are we really going here ??there’s two thinks rp wise that i cannot stand no matter how many times i’ve tried to get over them - understand them. One is something that everyone i think has ; I HATE having my dash cluttered by anyone spam posting 50 threads at once. g o d if you wanna post them queue them or just do one at a time don’t throw them all out there ;/THE SECOND ONE IS when people don’t cut posts o r don’t continue a meme on a separate thread. no one wants to see something so long on the dash (  note the cutting post thing can be justified if one is mobile  ) literally , copy paste the meme reply onto something else it doesn’t even take you ten seconds to do so.cutting posts you’ve got xkit , sorted you’re good to go , fabulous !!also big gifts or just huge ones in threads ;( please don’t
☠ What does someone have to do for an instant unfollow from you?
oh there’s many things yeah ?? so just sit down and listen to my ass-  when soemone starts playing the victim card when they began drama , i hate that.-  spreading h a t e , or being t o x i c. i’m as fast as a raptor when it comes to noticing when    someone is problematic (  *cough* a c u n t *cough* ) and toxic or just rude. note i don’t   identify or link , rude with cursing , i consider rude someone that is completely disrespectful   towards other people and - or their opinions. keep your shitty attitude to yourself really - if   you don’t that’s basically earning an unfollow from me:D   the last thing i want is logging on tumblr to find my inbox filled with hate mail or someone   else i dearly care for being hated on. it sucks ; even though getting hate just makes me   laugh tbh (  that’s just me though , i will fight u if u send hate to anyone  ) , i will protect   all kind users with all my heart.-  repeatedly breaking my rules after i’ve kindly told you not to :/- starting shit with me for no goddamn reason , and not stopping when i’ve stated i don’t   want to take part in drama :/- stealing someone’s content. there’s free resources out there and you’re able to write things  yourself , so stop stealing people’s stuff , thanks.BASICALLY TO SUM IT UP , BE KIND AND YOU WON’T BE UNFOLLOWED LMAO
♦ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise?
okay let’s start i’ll go in depth with one lil story bc if i already got started with tea we might as well go fully in with all of this , yeah ?? leggo story time !!
story time !! i once joined a roleplay group because of an ex friend , and i played a canon muse to ship with theirs and it was terrible because i never even watched x show further than season two and all of this was when x was on season 5 and i basically didn’t have muse all the way through , but i played x for over an entire year because they claimed x was very similar to an oc i used to play ( oc that eventually turned into theirs bc i just adapted x to the ship tbh , sucks but yeah i was an insecure lil shit to say anything back then ) and i never even had fun but anyways - we get to summer 2016 i’m fed up i lost all my muse even on my old multi so i went on a hiatus , i waited for it to come back it didn’t and then they began going at me for procrastinating and just playing league (  NOTE HOW IT SEEMS THAT RP HAS TURNED INTO A JOB ?? ) anyways i got fed up and joined a scream RPG and made mason , a few weeks later i quit the RPG of before , i move mason to indie and the scream rpg dies
          that’s how mason was born !! and there u go a story !!anyways that was annoying, having to write a character i never liked.
♥ What’s the WORST thing that has happened to you rp wise?
god you’re really going in for the tea aren’t you ;) personally while IC the worst one was having to morph a gentle boy into a sex god for the sake of smut back when i was 14-15 i think ?? was the worst , i h a t e d i t HATED it , but i bit through that because of x friend i though it was worth for - lol , you thought lorena. now i look back at it and i’m just disgusted by it all tbh. i’m just like pls no why did you watch smut lorena :((((((((((
anyways if we’re talking about ooc stuff the worst probably is when people start shit for no reason , but that isnt’t too bad anyway since usually in these situations they end up making a clown out of themselves whether it’s through im’s , group chat’s or just calling out posts … basically it turns into a comedy show after a while. I mean … i take the piss out of everything involving drama after 24 hours so ya know. I’m glad I’ve changed over these past five years i’ve spent online , back when i was 13-15 i used to BEG people to not leave me because i had no one else , now i just don’t give a shit and block the second you cross the line so … :/ i guess sometimes changing is good ya know. but there’s always some people that gotta be aware that it doesn’t happen over the course of a week , or instantly - it happens over a long period of time. humans are like pokemons , we evolve out of our own stupidity - we MATURE , some just need a little push to do so , or they don’t at all ☕🐸
♚ How many people don’t like you?
hmm i’m not sure , but i’d say at least 3 , - 2 which i am a 100% sure of
