OC Mundane Tag Game
Tagged again by @accidental-spice--thanks for the tag!
Rules: Pick an OC you'd like to talk about and answer the questions for them! Then tag ten people, or as many as you can. 'Underdeveloped character I adopted' is fine, too! Absolutely no pressure to play, though
Also, if some of it can't apply to your OCs, just answer what would be the answer-- like if they're in a historical setting, they likely can't watch movies, but what is a movie they'd like?
(Also, most people have many ocs, so feel free to retag people and answer as many times as you get tagged! Or get really wild and just answer for as many ocs as you'd like! :D)
Since I talked about Ace last time, it's only fair that I talk about Joker :D
1. What is their favorite movie?
I feel like Joker's taste in movies is pretty eclectic (especially as she has all of time and space to draw on!), but the first thing that came to mind was White Christmas (the dance numbers!) and Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief (she idolizes Grace Kelly). I do associate her quite a bit with that classic Hollywood era, but I find I haven't actually watched a ton of them? If anyone has suggestions, I will gladly take them.
2. What is their favorite season?
Most definitely spring--beauty, rebirth, gorgeous flowers, etc etc. Actually, Ace's favorite being winter and hers being spring is pretty fitting, now that I think about it.
3. What do they find annoying?
People with a lack of imagination, when people don't appreciate things she's enthusiastic about, when she can't find the perfect outfit, bad hair days.
4. How would they like to spend their Christmas or equivalent holiday?
She really would love anything as long as she's not celebrating alone--she has done some pretty spectacular things on her hundreds of Christmases past (sneaking into one of Queen Victoria's Christmas parties, going ice skating on a planet of ice palaces, visiting the Christmas Theme Park that Australia built on the moon in 3489 that only lasted a year (turns out it was because of her, actually), but she mostly does these sorts of things to distract herself from how lonely she is, as Christmas is a pretty family-oriented holiday and that's when she feels it most acutely. Needless to say, her Christmases become much lovelier with Ace around.
5. Do they play an instrument? If so, what? How good are they at it?
I imagine she's probably collected almost every instrument imaginable, and can at least make most of them make sound, but she only really plays acoustic guitar (specifically really finger-plucky stuff) and probably a bit of piano. She also sings, and unlike Ace, has no qualms about doing so whenever the mood strikes. And sometimes it strikes at odd times.
6. What's their favorite meal to eat?
Ooh, this one is hard. I feel like she would be one to be constantly excited about trying different kinds of food--but as for a favorite of hers, the first thing that comes to mind is tiramisu for some reason. There is also always a hot pot of tea in her TARDIS without exception.
7. Do they have a favorite video game or board game?
Joker does strike me as a video game girl--I can see her being a Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts fan (and unlike all of us, she actually has the time on her hands to play every Final Fantasy game, lol). As for board games, I think she would probably like Life, as well as some of those newer fantasy games with a ton of worldbuilding like Scythe. Of course, she probably never played them much up until she met Ace, as playing board games against an AI avatar gets boring very fast. She's also so bad at chess that the first time she played with Ace, he was dead convinced that she had let him win.
8. Do they celebrate their birthday?
Poor Joker is an amnesiac--she has no memory of who she is or where she came from, and only knows the simple fact that she is a Time Lord, and her first memory was floating in the vacuum of space-time as a child in her TARDIS. (I'm not even sure that she knows about the Time War. It's difficult to believe that she wouldn't have heard about it after so much time, so she probably knows...?) Thus she has no idea when her birthday is, so she just picked a random day and celebrated it in much the same fashion as she does Christmas. After she meets Ace, she usually convinces him to take her out dancing (which, to his credit, doesn't usually take too much persuading).
9. What's their bedtime routine?
Do Time Lords sleep? I've been getting conflicting answers about this. I'm gonna go with "sometimes," and in those cases, pretty nightdress, cup of tea, usually plays music.
10. What's an OC (or canon character) they like to spend time around? What do they tend to do together?
Ace is the first person she has ever truly connected with beyond the surface-level, despite their very disparate personalities. I don't want to give too much away too early, but what I will say is that initially, Joker views Ace a little bit like a project, and he views her as a character stepped straight out of a fairy story who is too otherworldly to be real and must have some secret agenda for bringing him with her, and thus distrusts her, but they slowly but surely overcome this rockiness. She sees something in Ace that he refuses to see in himself—but I really can’t say more without spoiling things. Joker is very verbally affectionate, often referring to Ace as “my Ace” or “darling.” He makes a very noble effort to hide how flustered he is by this.
As for what they do together, they of course have their time-traveling adventures (and sometimes run into the Doctor and his companions). I'd say they're a bit more like tourists than the Doctor and Rose are, they tend to go to different times and places with the intent of exploring and sightseeing and their adventures are rarely, if ever, premeditated. Also, as I mentioned earlier, they love to go out dancing--the Doctor and Rose are half-convinced that they're just on a dance tour of the universe, as 50% of the time they run into them, they're checking out the local social dancing scene.
Also, I mentioned this in my post about Ace, but Joker loves introducing him to movies, tv shows, music, and other kinds of media that he missed out on in his time. In return, Ace reads aloud to her a lot--it sort of began out of his frustration that she constantly leaves half-read books around and forgets to finish them, but then it just kind of became a habit.
Tagging @o-lei-o-lai-o-lord @rainintheevening @novelmonger @mythicalartisttm and anyone else who has oc's they'd like to talk about!

So I’m plotting for my AU rn (I’m so serious about trying to turn this into a web comic) and I got the whole first arc plotted out, and that whole arc takes place in the span of like one week.
That got me thinking, if I want this comic to span the whole of Zoro’s pregnancy, how the fuck am I supposed to fill nine months worth of plot???? There’s only so much drama you can create with two dipshits getting pregnant, and I know where and when I want to hit certain plot beats. But then I remembered there are three other straw hats!!!
I’ve known from the start I didn’t want this AU to be just be about zoro and sanji, I wanted all of the Straw hats to have their own plots and arcs going. I actually find it really annoying when in ship fics the other characters disappear or don’t do anything.
So I think when I can’t naturally focus on Zoro and Sanji, they’ll take a back seat and the other straw hats will take center stage. It’ll be so much more fun that way!!! I have lots of ideas for their parts of the story, and I think it’ll do a good job of fleshing out the town cus you’ll get to see more of it from different povs. Luffy especially since everyone in town knows who he is.
I love all the straw hats and I want to explore them just as much as I want to explore zoro and sanji

Steve has always had an affinity for water. The pool in the backyard was as much a gift to him as it was something for his parents to brag about; the heated waters welcomed him year-round, like the embrace his parents wouldn't give him. He sometimes thinks he has spent more time by the pool than he has done inside the house.
He never expected the water to respond to him.
-
Nancy has only viewed fire as a tool, something to light candles, and cook food. She's familiar with the warmth of her parents hugging her, the warmth in her chest when her younger siblings achieve something. And she can wield her pen with a passion only likened to how fire consumes.
She didn't think her fear and rage would ever burst into sparks.
-
Jonathan has tried to be a cliff for his mum, and for Will, for as long as he can remember. A steady presence to ground them when things are rough, with Lonnie, with school, with anything. He thinks things through unless his family is involved; then everything inside him rushes like an avalanche.
He barely notices the rocks tumbling alongside him in his single-mindedness.
-
Robin has always felt out of place, in her family, in school, in Hawkins. She wants to see the world, find somewhere she fits in, wants to find change instead of forcing herself into a mould. There's pressure in trying to melt in and adapt when the norm is the opposite of your truth.
She isn't all that surprised when the mud bursts like her words.
-
Eddie never shies away from being himself, from being loud, from being brash. He wants to be heard, with his words, with his movements, with his music. There's a rush to be found in doing what he wants. And he knows how to fill a room just with his presence, knows how to bring a sense of family to the people who need it. But he can appreciate the quiet too, the moments with his uncle, the moments with a new song. He doesn't have to be loud to be known.
He shapes the wind as easily as he plays the guitar.
