been playing sdv a lot again and then i remembered this thing i started making Three (3) years ago and i might be busy with finals but i've been working on this during the last couple of nights and it was fun and i like how it looks. so wanted to share! :^)
some images here are from mods and then i made the portraits combining two different websites and the font is from somewhere too. like i dont expect this to get a lot of traction since i have around 1,5 followers who care about sdv but if anyone comes with pitchforks after me i will share all the links or smthin but again. i dont expect this will be seen by more than 2 ppl.

“Well, well,” Jimin says as he looks up to spot you. He’s seated inside the college library at a once empty desk before you occupied it. “If it isn’t Y/N.”
You want to roll your eyes at the tone in Jimin’s voice. “In the flesh.” you say.
“What do I owe the unwelcomed visit?” Jimin drops the pen he was using to continue speaking with you.
“Ugh, Jimin, cut the shit.” you place your bag upon the table. “Jungkook told me you like me and us together.”
Jimin snickers. “I enjoy seeing my friend happy, I suppose.” he shrugs. 
“I guess that means we’re the same.” you retort.
“I'd like to say you’re more of a bitch with an attitude.” Jimin scoffs.
Your eyes widen, but you don’t want to say what you really want to - you and he would be bantering in the library and kicked out. 
You take a deep breath. “I’m going to regret this.” you murmur more to yourself than to Jimin, but the man hears and now he’s intrigued. “I need your help.”
Jimin is in fact intrigued. His attention is fully on you now. “My help?”
You nod.
“What can I give you that you can’t go to Jungkook for?” Jimin snickers.
You don’t answer and noticing, Jimin begins to smirk. 
“What do I get out of it?” 
You sigh loudly. “What do you want?” you grumble, eyes glaring at the older man.
“First, tell me what you want.” Jimin closes his textbook, finding you here before him more interesting.
You swallow. Your body was feeling hot with nerves.
You hoped Jimin wouldn’t laugh in your face and further humiliate you - or even make it worse by telling Jungkook. 
“I want to make Jungkook jealous.” you murmur so low that Jimin has to think hard to see if he’s heard you correctly. 
Jimin then begins to chuckle to himself, leaning back into the library chair. “Ah, so he was right when he told me you were jealous.”
You widen your eyes. “He told you that?!” you hiss lowly, feeling your hands clenched into fists. 
It was a week prior when it began. You and Jungkook had classes that same day, him being done only an hour before yours ended. He had texted you that he’d be in the dining hall - typical for Jungkook and his near never ending hunger. You’d usually always catch him there with someone - his friends, mostly.
That day, however, it was neither. It was a person you’ve never seen before - a girl. 
You recall the way your pace slowed as you caught where he stood, her across from him. He was nodding to something she was saying. It happens suddenly, however, the way Jungkook responds back (inaudible to you) and the girl laughs loudly. You are only a few feet away when you see the way she touches Jungkook’s chest, coming even closer.
Jungkook looks directly behind the girl and his lips form a smile. “Y/N!” he had called your name, nodding to the girl before making his way towards you. Your eyes locked to the girl he was speaking to - the look in her eyes was one you were all too familiar with. “You ready to go?” he asks you and you nodded your head, remaining silent.
“Yes, he did.” Jimin smirks at your reaction. “Said you were snappy the entire time.”
“I was not.” you declare, but you were. After all, Jungkook pursued you for months before you gave him a chance before you ultimately agreed to being his girlfriend. He had to know that was a privilege.
“Sure.” Jimin shrugs at your obvious lie. “Then why are you trying to make him jealous?”
You were beginning to regret coming to Jimin - you didn’t need him going to Jungkook with this. It would just fuel his teasing and that’s not something you wanted. 
You didn’t consider yourself to be the jealous type and you didn’t care who Jungkook was friends with - male or female. However, it was the way Jungkook reacted. His mind clicked when you were a bit distant and snappy, and that’s where it began. “You’re jealous.” he says, stopping in his tracks suddenly. You and he were halfway to his car when he made the revelation, eyes wide and soon, a smirk forming onto his lips. “That’s good. That means we’re one step closer to admitting you like me.”
And it didn’t get better. At every given chance, Jungkook would bring up Sia - the girl he was speaking to. “Sia said this ice-cream shop downtown is good. We should go.”, “Sia says this movie was good, let’s watch it together.” and it went on and on until you eventually snapped at him.
 Jungkook does it for a reaction - a scoff, a roll in your eyes or even a glare. When you snapped at him, declaring “If you’re going to keep talking about what she likes then you mind as well fuck her.”, it’s disgusting to admit that your tone turned him on - mixed with the angered look in your eyes. 
It gets the man going knowing that even you could be jealous. Maybe it wasn’t the right thing to do, but he enjoys teasing you. “You’re so down bad for me, baby. I can see it in your eyes.” he’d say. “You know you’re the only girl for me, Y/N. You don’t have to be jealous.”
“Give him a taste of his own medicine.” you shrug your shoulders. You didn’t want to go into any more detail with Jimin, after all, Jungkook was his friend. He probably already knows enough.
And know enough Jimin does. It was a week ago today when he got a call from Jungkook, asking for advice. “Maybe she’s jealous.” Jimin told him over the phone. “You can be oblivious to when girls are flirting with you.”
“Who? Sia?” Jungkook had scoffed. He hasn’t thought about other girls in months, not since he and you became intimate. “I never knew Y/N could get like that…” Jungkook trailed off, a tone that was all too familiar to Jimin. The younger man was plotting.
“You’re going to make her jealous, aren’t you?” Jimin scoffed. “I don’t think that’s wise.”
“You’re team Y/N now?” Jungkook asked. “I’m not going to flirt with Sia or even be around her. I just want Y/N to admit that she likes me.” he revealed truthfully. “Without me having to fuck it out of her.”
“Does her being with you not mean she likes you?” Jimin furrows his brows. Jungkook could be on the dumb side sometimes and the fact that he had to defend you made him want to gag. But for months it was apparent that you liked Jungkook more than you’d let on - Jimin had to hear it when Jungkook called him nearly in tears when you called yourself “his girl”.
“Stop trying to sound smart, hyung. I just want to hear her say it.” And that’s where it began - each time Jungkook got a reaction out of you, he’d tell Jimin. It was a matter of time before you’d snap - and you did; now sitting before him.
“I see. I help you and you help me.” Jimin leans forward. “Starting with what I want.”
You wait for Jimin to speak, and when he does, you’re left dumbfounded. 
“What’s the password to all of the streaming services?”
You blink a few times, trying to register what Jimin said. “That’s…out of everything you can ask for-”
“I need to get back to The Real Housewives.” Jimin waves you off. “Now, passwords before I help you.”
“YNloves97.” you tilt your head.
Jimin rolls his eyes. “I hate simps.” he murmurs, but he writes it down on a sheet of paper before turning his attention back to you. “Now, how far are you trying to go?”
You swallow. “Not that far.” you admit. You couldn’t see yourself flirting with someone else - besides, Jungkook would know you were trying to make him jealous and that would make his head grow even bigger.
“I know my friend, Y/N. If you try too hard, he’s not going to fall for it. You have to be subtle.” Jimin exclaims. “He knows how unapproachable you are.”
“Unapproachable?” you’re taken aback once more at Jimin’s choice of words. “What does that mean?”
“Exactly what I said. You have a resting bitch face and you’ve turned down so many guys that no one wants to approach you anymore. Jungkook is seen as a conqueror for being able to have you.” Jimin states matter-of-factly.
You sigh in defeat because damn was Jimin correct. You recall back when Jungkook and you went on the “picnic-movie-dinner” and he exclaimed how he knows there's guys that want you, but he was the one that had you.
Fuck Jeon Jungkook.
Jimin swallows, a disdainful look in his eyes. “Do you want to hangout?”
“What?”
“Do you…want to hangout?” Jimin repeats, appearing even more disgusted. “It’s part of the plan, trust me.”
“I-I guess.” you murmur, unsure of how this was going to go. But Jimin and Jungkook were best friends and if you were going to trust anyone about your plan, it’d have to be him.
The following week goes by and Jungkook notices a shift.
The most uncommon shift was you and Jimin together. When you had told Jungkook that you couldn’t study with him because you were doing so with Jimin, he had laughed. He assumed it was a joke, until it wasn’t.
Jungkook was fine with it, of course. He wanted you and Jimin to get along.
What Jungkook wasn’t fine with was the amount of times you’d speak of Jimin and how, in your words, “He’s actually fun to be around.”, “I convinced Jimin to listen to this podcast with me while we studied”, “It’s okay, I’ll just ask Jimin.” - and the fact that you were going to someone else for something instead of him was what truly got his blood boiling.
“I invited Jimin, hope that’s okay.” you said, dropping next to Jungkook. You were in the living room of your home, Chaeyoung showering up the stairs and soon joining you and him. It was only a study session - exams coming just around the corner. 
“Did you?” Jungkook snickers. “Why?”
“Why not?” you shrug with a short giggle. “Don’t we all need to study?”
Jungkook remains quiet, not wanting to think too much into it.
There was no way he was jealous. Jimin was his friend and there was no reason to be.
But when there was a knock on the door. You had risen to answer it, and that was the cherry on top - the way you hugged Jimin, greeting him with a wide smile.
You hadn’t even hugged Jungkook that way - or even appeared to be happy that he was there. When did you and Jimin grow so close? It wasn’t long ago that you were butting heads over streaming services. Now, the two of you were hugging, your arms wrapped firmly around him.
“Is the plan still on?” Jimin murmurs to you, feeling the burning hole Jungkook is burning through him. 
“Yes.” you murmur back. You avoid Jungkook’s eyes, especially when you feel Jimin light tap the low of your back.
Jungkook watches your next move, not taking his eyes off of you. You bring yourself back next to Jungkook on the couch, finally meeting his eyes. He doesn’t say anything  to you, only watching with tense eyes.
“I ordered pizza.” Chaeyoung says, almost on cue. Her hair is damp as she comes through. “Should be here in a few.”
You want to laugh at how giddy you feel right now. Jungkook’s reaction. You aren’t going to feel guilty - he started this first.
It was Jimin’s idea after all. “I would rather die than flirt with you.” Jimin snarls. The feeling was mutual. “But Jungkook is a territorial person. He’ll grow jealous of you hanging out with anyone that isn’t him.”
And that’s where it began - the constant “study” sessions that truly had you and Jimin bickering with one another. “I agreed to listen to your murder podcast but watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey is where you draw the line?” Jimin snapped one day.
However, Jimin was correct. He knew Jungkook like the back of his hand and his plan was working smoothly. 
A study session always started well and ended with loud chatter and laughs - only Jungkook sulked on the couch, while you, Chaeyoung and Jimin gathered around the low coffee table to eat.
“Here, try this.” Jimin shoves his pizza in your face - it has a variety of toppings on it and you want to gag at the sight of it. You want to shake your head because damn did it look disgusting, toppings nearly falling all over the place, but Jimin eyes widen and he slightly nods. 
You open your mouth and take a bite, allowing Jimin to feed you the pizza - and Jungkook’s had enough of watching you and him.
“Y/N doesn’t even like all those toppings.” Jungkook hisses, shoving the pizza away from you. It falls into Jimin’s lap sloppily, and the older man groans.
“Kook, what the hell?” Jimin cleans the pizza from his lap, glaring at his younger friend. “What’s your problem-”
“I think you should go.” Jungkook exclaims.
“No he doesn’t.” you are quick to defend Jimin, and inside you’re screaming, wanting to laugh in Jungkook’s obviously jealous face. “What’s going on with you?”
Jungkook’s taken aback. “Since when are you and Jimin friends?” he hisses, not intending for his voice to be as low. “Jimin’s my friend.”
Luckily you’ve told Chaeyoung the plan, or she would have thought you had two friends fighting for you. She takes a sip of her soda to hide her laughter. 
“Please don’t fight over me.” Jimin chuckles. “There’s enough of me to go around.”
“You should be happy that I’m being friends with your friends.” you cross your arms. “Or do you prefer we butt heads?”
Jungkook would prefer you and Jimin to do nothing at all, like before. He hides his remark because in the end, Jimin was his friend and he truly would never accuse anything of him - but he couldn’t help how he feels.
“Can I talk to you in private, Y/N?” Jungkook murmurs, his eyes intense.
Jimin watches as you and Jungkook walk up the stairs and down the hall, not speaking until he hears a door close.
“Turn the TV up.” Chaeyoung says suddenly, taking a bite of her pizza. “They’re going to fuck it out right about now.”
Jimin doesn’t have to be told twice.
“What the fuck are you doing with Jimin?” Jungkook hiss as soon as the door to your bedroom is closed. “And don’t give that mush-mouth shit either, Y/N.”
You shrug. “The same thing you’re doing with Sia.”
Jungkook stops in his tracks. You sit at the edge of your bed with crossed arms.
“Sia?” Jungkook looks at you as if he had no idea what you were speaking of. “Sia?” he repeats.
“Sia.” you mock with a scoff. “Yes, Jungkook.”
Jungkook inhales deeply before exhaling. He tilts his head for a moment, your words repeating in his mind. 
“I don’t hang out with Sia. I don’t even talk to her.” Jungkook proclaims, a snarky tone in his voice.
“Sia likes this, Sia does that, Sia goes here, we should go there.” you mock Jungkook’s voice the best you could. “But I watch a little Housewives with Jimin and it’s a problem?” It was a problem, because there was only so much New Jersey you could watch.
Jungkook’s eyes begin to squint, and then widen. It was like a lightbulb went off. 
“You were trying to make me jealous. And you had Jimin help you do it.” Jungkook exclaims.
“Did not,” you scoff.
“You did.”
“Not.”
“You always avoid my gaze when you’re lying, Y/N.” Jungkook sighs in relief. He had to hand it to you, you and Jimin were determined - and your plan worked entirely well. 
“Fuck you.” you hiss. “Isn’t that what you were doing first?” you quip, now rising to your feet. “Then you lie about it.”
Jungkook’s head snaps towards you. “Lie? About what?”
“Turn the T.V. down!” Chaeyoung murmurs, hearing the rise in your voice. 
“Already on it.” Jimin responds. 
“You said you don’t talk to Sia which is kinda weird seeing as you seem to know so much about what she likes.”
“You go through all of this instead of admitting you like me, Y/N?” Jungkook begins to laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. “You like me. You’re down bad for me just as I am for you.”
You roll your eyes at Jungkook’s words. 
“Stop avoiding what I said.”
“I’m not lying.” Jungkook retorts. “Can we admit you’re jealous of Sia-”
“Fuck you and her disrespectfully.” you bellowed, venom laced in your words. You’re even surprised at how it came out. 
Jungkook licks his lips. “I only talked to Sia that one time in the dining hall,” he admits. “I…I did lie about everything I told you she said. I never spoke to her after.”
You blink a few times, registering his words. 
“What?”
“I just wanted to hear you admit that you were jealous.” now that Jungkook hears himself, his plan sounded stupidly childish. “Admit that you like me-”
“Like you?” you scoff. “You met my parents.”
“Because you were hiding the fact that I wasn’t your boyfriend.” Jungkook shrugs. 
“At the time.” you tilt your head. “I’m with you all the time. I watch your nerdy movies-”
“And I watch your serial killer documentaries!” Jungkook defends. 
“Exactly.” you wave your hands around. “How could you think I don’t like you when we’re constantly together?”
Jungkook understands that you make valid points, but he was but a man and how was he supposed to feel? “I just want to hear you say it.” he shrugs his shoulders, unsure what else to say. “You only say it when I’m fucking you into oblivion-”
“Okay,” you lift your hand to pause his speech. “please don’t get ahead of yourself there.”
“Just say you like me.” Jungkook steps closer to you, reaching out for you. He has a small smile on his lips. “Just admit that you like me, baby. You’re so down bad for me that you somehow got Jimin to make me jealous of your fraudulent friendship.”
Jungkook’s holding you now, arms embracing you entirely. 
“What’s understood doesn’t need to be said.” you murmur, melting into his embrace. You inhale his scent, enjoying the freshly clean scent of his cologne.
“It does.” Jungkook kisses your forehead. He wonders if Jimin told you how he reacted over the phone when you called yourself his girl. It wouldn’t bother him because you know how he feels already.
You roll your eyes. “I…like you.” you say against his chest.
Jungkook pushes you back. “Excuse me?”
“I already said-”
“No, say it again. Without a dick in you-”
You slap his hand from your shoulders. “Oh wow, fuck you-”
“I will.” Jungkook nods erratically. “You can sit on my face until you’re shaking with pleasure, then I’ll fuck you until you’re begging-”
“I like you, Jungkook.” your body heats up at his words and of course, your legs clench for friction. It was as if you and he weren’t just in a disagreement not too long ago. “Ugh, I hate you.”  you murmur when you see the smirk forming on his lips. 
“Hate that you like me.” Jungkook squeals, far too giddy than he should be. “Take your clothes off, baby.”
“They don’t waste any time.” Jimin snorts, wiping his mouth with a napkin. 
“Turn the T.V. up again. Jungkook’s about to fuck some more love confessions out of her.” Chaeyoung warns.
Jungkook’s nails dig into the skin of your thigh, gripping entirely too tight to fight off his nerves. His tongue laps your clit vigorously - with such need. It’s almost like it gave him pleasure by pleasuring you. 
Your hands wrap around the length of his cock, pumping up and down slowly - just because you want to tease him. His tongue laps even harder when you begin to pump faster, smothering himself against you. 
Jungkook groans, the vibration feeling against your clit. You allow the saliva to pool from your tongue and onto his clit, tightening your grip. You then decide to take him in your mouth, the salty taste of his pre-cum hitting your taste buds.You assure to add more saliva to jerk him while you suckle along the tip.
Jungkook’s hand rubs along your ass then upwards towards your back, He gently bites your thigh. “You’re so good, baby…”
Jungkook presses a kiss against your clit before he continues on his assault upon your clit. You want to tell him to stop - you were supposed to be pleasuring him, too, but Jungkook always made things harder. Naturally, Jungkook was competitive, and it was as if he was competing to see who would cum first.
And with the way Jungkook now adds his fingers, pumping entirely just as fast as his tongue suckles on your clit - you were going to lose.
You take Jungkook into your mouth fully, his tip hitting your throat. Jungkook twitches, and that’s when you know you had it. You lay your tongue flat, continuing to suck him fully. You were just as stubborn as Jungkook was, and now it was a game to see who was going to win - even if you’re certain you’d just become submissive like always and allow him to take control.
Jungkook’s groaning against your pussy now, trying everything in him to not lose (lose a battle that should have never started), but you were slurping him entirely too good for him to not want to.
“J-Just cum, already.” you cave, his cock popping out of your mouth, saliva dripping down the corner of your mouth. 
“You first.” Jungkook huffs. “Ride my face.”
“Fuck…you…” you groan, but you do as Jungkook asks. Your hips begin to roll, clit grinding against Jungkook’s tongue. 
Jungkook keeps his hands permanently on your ass, allowing you to take control of your orgasm. He’s satisfied that you’ve decided to cave, his competitive nature satisfied. Now, all you have to do is cum.
You bite your lip to suppress a loud moan - Jimin and Chaeyoung were just downstairs. But you were going to cum on Jungkook’s tongue like he intended, not understanding how you yet again lost the battle against Jeon Jungkook.
Fuck Jeon Jungkook.
Jungkook moans against your clit, a low whine releasing from your sweet lips Your thighs are quivering as you are coming to your high, eyes fluttering close and your head hanging.
You fall against your bed with a sigh. You needed to catch your breath.
“My pretty girl.” Jungkook smiles down at you, now hovering above you. “Are you hungry?”
“Shut up.” you scoff. 
Jungkook’s smile doesn’t falter.
“I was watching porn earlier.” you began. “I want you to fuck my breasts.”
Jungkook chokes at your words, flushing red. “What-”
“Put your dick between my breasts,” you begin, speaking slowly. “and fuck them.”
Jungkook quickly nods, already feeling the familiar throb in his cock. 
“You’re so good for me, Y/N.” Jungkook speaks.
“Put it in my mouth first.” you instruct. “So it can be lubricated.”
Jungkook groans but nods. You suck on his cock for a moment before popping it out of your mouth. Jungkook then hovers above your breast, gulping.
Jungkook moans, pressing your breast together as he begins to thrust. Your tongue dips out so you could lick the tip of his tip each time he thrust forward. 
Both of Jungkook’s thumbs rub along your nipples, his thrusting becoming faster. You're so beautiful and Jungkook would never get tired of saying it. He’s never thought about fucking your breast, but now as he’s doing so, he can’t imagine not doing it again.
You had to admit watching Jungkook fuck your breast was hot - but that was also because Jungkook was hot. There’s sweat lining his forehead and his lips are forming a small ‘o’ shape. Maybe this is what Jungkook felt like when he was pleasuring you - it was because of you that Jungkook was appearing in pure ecstasy.
“You really do like me, baby.” chuckled Jungkook deeply. His fingers twist your nipples. “I can’t believe you’d thought I would ever be interested in that girl.”
You hum, glad that Jungkook didn’t say her name.
“You know you’re the only girl for me, baby.”
“You can cum in my mouth.” you moan, opening your mouth wider and poking your tongue out. 
Jungkook grumbles with a shake of his head. His thrusts become even faster, sloppier. His hands grip your breast entirely in his palms. “My pretty girl,” he pants. “so, so pretty. So good for m-me…” Jungkook’s voice cracks, twitching as he cums.
Jungkook’s cum hits your tongue - warm, salty and great. It’s an abundance, so much cum that a bit drips down your chin. You swallow, licking your lips.
Jungkook falls next to you, legs twitching with ecstasy. He swallows the lump in his throat. He brings you closer to him, kissing your lips entirely. 
“My pretty girl.”
“Ugh,” you groan. “I hate simps.”
Jungkook allows you to fall against his chest and it rumbles as he laughs.  “You’re so down bad for me, Y/N. It's so obvious now.” he teases. “I’ll fuck another confession out of you later.”
You slap his chest, but the throbbing between your legs is evident that you were anticipating his words to be true.

I cannot add the screenshot but saw your comment about the process of making OCs. please share yours cuz I'm so curious!
I had literally 5k words written out explaining the process and thought 'nobody needs to read that' and just shortened it to point form. It was a lot of rambling......
Anywho
OC's, in my mind, fill a void that I feel a story is missing. I mean, no whole story is necessarily missing something, but it is in my perspective. Usually OC's are born from something I disliked with the original work or felt could've been handled differently.
So the tip of inspiration is a 'What If?' moment.
"What if L had someone on task force -with more than 2 brain cells- on his side?"- Death Note
"What if Naruto had a friend growing up who loved him?" - Naruto
"What if Truth was an even bigger dick and tortured someone's soul through reincarnation until they finally learned to break the cycle?"- FullMetal Alchemist
"What if a main character didn't have a damsel in distress as a love interest?" - Bleach
The what if is the first point to creation. It gives me an anchor of reference, of purpose, to this character. It's not to make them a plot device, but it helps me shape around what the reason for building them is. Everyone needs a purpose to have fulfillment in their lives, even if it's just to feed your cat and water your plants. You have a purpose, so what is my OC's? There's usually a moment in the story that inspires this specific purpose and each one is different.
Great, now that we have a purpose, let's move on.
Part 1: What's the start and ending?
It doesn't matter what the story is yet. To me, what's important is the end of this character's story. Where do they end up? Are they alive? Dead? Did they end up with love interest? Did they succeed in their goals? etc.
Despite how crucial this part might seem, I'm never dead set on it. I have a general idea most of the time.
The point of the ending is to have guidance as to where I'm going with the story line and remind myself that this character is moving in that direction. It can also change once you know your character more and once you have a fully fleshed plot, but again you'll change it likely because it works more with the OC you've created.
Now that you've got an ending, pick a starting point. It can be literally anywhere. It can be another character POV. Beginnings are really easy, just pick a place you want to begin and write a few words. Great, now figure out how this beginning meets that ending. Rough sketch it, when you write it out it'll change and grow, that's perfectly okay. No character is the same at the start and finish, so be aware that change is normal.
Part 2: What's the secret?
Every character that has any level of depth has a secret that is revealed in the story. L's successors was a big one. Naruto's parentage was theorized for years before being confirmed. Aizen's betrayal in Bleach was another. What big secret changes the reader's view on the character? What do the other characters think?
Part 3: How are they compatible with their pairings?
Legit this one comes up early in my mind. If I'm completely honest it has to, as you already have a character that is fully fleshed out and in order to keep them in character then your OC needs to adhere to the canon character's interests IMO. It's the reality of it. Which also means you have to know the canon character really well. Which is where character analysis comes in.
Let's take L for example. While I imagine he's the type to make his partner comfortable regardless of their wants/needs, I also see him as the guy who would legit rather die that admit those feelings at first? Like I subscribe to him being a little autistic and mildly self-degrading when it comes to 'why would they like me?' perspectives.
I say mildly because it's not so much he has no confidence as simply 'I literally have no internal clock, I likely have uncontrolled diabetes and broke my back on my own from sitting like this all day, I will ignore your very existence to finish a case and I literally haven't been home in god knows how long, so why would you ever have feelings for me?' It's illogical for L to entertain the idea of someone feeling that way about him because he simply doesn't fit the profile of a dating candidate. And so he disregards the idea that someone could ever be interested in him. Never mind he'd have to know everything about them down to their god damn SIN number before he'd ever see them in person.
So yeah, L's tough, but not impossible. I could see him with a character who really enamours him. I mean as in a character who thinks so radically different from him that at first he sees it as illogical, but progressively he begins to understand how they tick. I could see him being especially fascinated with someone who is very capable of lying convincingly, and yet wears their heart on their sleeve. I find this type of person to be so opposite and yet so similar at the same time.
Now that you have their OTP.... what other pairings are there? Contrary to the belief system, but there are multiple pairings in every story. Pairings don't have to be romantic, but they must be dynamic. What do other characters think of them? How would they interact with each other? I usually know intuitively who I want my OC to befriend and who they realistically could get along with.
This is, quite literally, the toughest part to flesh out, since I work pretty hard to try and stick to canon.
Part 4: Define your character in one scene?
As I said in the What If? section, each character is born from a specific scene or idea. So what is the scene in the story that defines the entirety of this character? For L I think his defining moment was his lil speech about 'do you really think I do this for justice?' in the manga. It brought into perspective that L was having fun on this case, and when he was 'wrong' about Light his temper tantrum made so much more sense honestly.
Characters need a scene in the story that really lets the reader understand the character on a deeper level and really drives home 'this is a person' even though they're not real it makes them feel raw and real.
Part 5: Motivations
Okay, great, we have so much covered, literally I could probably just go off this and wing the rest. But now we gotta ask why is OC even in the story? Why are they a moving puzzle piece? What made them get to their ending? What did they sacrifice? What's the most important thing to them? Why? Knowing why a person moves is far superior to simply wanting them to move. Why did Light swap the notebooks between shinigami? To keep Ryuk's big mouth away and Rem up close to L. Why did L confront Light at uni? Because he had enough sugar to kill a camel in his system and a gut feeling that Light was Kira and would eventually fold under pressure if he pushed him enough.
Part 6: The Plot
Okay so we've got literally everything necessary. So what's the plot? Is it AU? Partial AU? Canon compliant? Does it just follow canon to a certain point and then go off the rails? Personally I like canon divergent. It holds some points of interest with the original plot but diverges at points only to link up in some spots. I also am a huge fan of making events happen in different time frames.
And now.... where do the OC's affect the story? I mean there's no way that Death Note is a completely unchanged story despite another character being added? Something has changed, so what? Do certain events not occur? Does something better befall certain characters? Something worse?
I am also a stickler for universe rules. I do no bend rules for my characters unless I can come up with a universe compliant reason that it would work. I try to respect the original author's world...... but I will do whatever the hell I want with the characters as long as they're in character.
Part 7: The personal touch
Believe it or not, the appearance of the character is the literal last thing to even cross my mind. Like I legit started writing a Naruto fanfic and realized in 8 chapters I hadn't a clue what she looked like. I had to go to pinterest and make a board, along with a character bio in my notes app. I pic out the height, weight, hairstyle/hair colour, eye shape/eye colour, face, aesthetic, any scars/tattoos they may have and I put it on my notes/pinterest board. Now that I know their story is so I know why they'd have that scar or tattoo. I know why they have that kind of look in their eye. I know everything about them really.
The last bit is mostly spreading this personal touch through the above mentioned steps. It's fleshing it out further, making them more flowing in growth. When did they get the scar? Why that tattoo? Does it affect the story?
Attractiveness is something I debate a lot, and honestly it mostly comes down to plot. If a character needs to be pretty because of the plot I write them as attractive. If they need to be ugly that's what they are. Full disclosure, I see through my OC's eyes when I imagine scenes since I like to write in first person. Meaning I never remember their appearance and always have to review the notes to remind myself what they look like at all.
---
Ok, I think I got everything? So yeah, this is the fuck fest two brain cells can come up with. Keep in mind it is a cyclic mentality and I am perpetually editing and upgrading ideas in my brain. My newest OC to Death Note has literally changed so dramatically in 5 days just by doing this process 3 times that you'd think they were two different characters. It really helps me know my OC's honestly. Do I follow this to the T? Not always, but it is generally the process I subscribe to.
Hope this was a good read, cheers.
Also sorry if I did this wrong I've never posted on tumblr before this year god save my soul

I got the second Elle(s) book today and ofc read it soon as I could
Some thoughts:
- this book focuses more heavily on the inner world exploration, and I found the art to be even more dynamic and lovely in this one
- Blue takes over the host position from the previous book, because of the loss of her aunt and shocking revelation that Elle was adopted as a baby. The whole book is about rose Elle finding her way out of the inner world and back to taking control of her life
- we get a little bit more development on the other parts of Elle, since Rose interacts with them as she’s going through each of the inner worlds. But there’s not a lot there, if I’m honest? They all act like strangers that happen to be dragged into the story rather than parts of your very self who’ve always had a sense of being at least connected to you in some way. Especially since its implied that Elle has ‘had problems with this before’, and she purposefully made these inner worlds for each of them, we as the reader are left confused to how much they actually know eachother.. theres just not much there
- and as for Blue, the one part who’s been looming over both this book and the last, we don’t know much about her either, aside from being manipulative and stealing money and clout off her friends. If she’s supposed to be a persecutor part, she has no obvious drive outside just ~being evil~. (To quote my very own blue-colored persecutory part; “What a lazy bitch”)
- this.. ending..?
Tumblr media
(The text reads: Wow! Embryos merged? So that means.. I really am six different people! )
Maybe it’s a problem with translation, but the tone of this picture and text really cuts off any of the built up tension thats been riding throughout the book.
- this book never explicitly mentions DID as being a diagnosis, so it’s more of a concept of multiple personalities being used in a different way…
I’m not someone who’s going to speak on what makes ‘enough’ trauma to create DID, because birth complications and adoption are traumatic, and it’s also not something I have experience with. I can’t speak on how this would feel for people who had twins and lost them for it to be portrayed this way, though. In the book, this is clearly stated to be some sort of Special Unreal Circumstance and I found that.. in weird taste..
-it’s not.. DID. I thought the adventuring through the inner worlds would be more about making honest connections and getting to know these parts of her more fully, but Elle’s journey was really just about pulling herself up by the boot straps and switching back out. She doesn’t really have trauma and this book makes it super clear
-I’m disappointed that there wasnt much time spent with brunette Elle because she really seemed to be grieving honestly in the last book, I thought theyd be helping eachother more. But its.. not reallyyy and its shown as growth anyway
-I like the series but I can’t really take it very seriously. It has the vibes of seeing all the major plot points of someone’s OC stuff without all the extra content that fleshes out the characters.
———
I might just be in a mood because I feel very out of place with my own DID at the moment(I’m usually fairly comfortable, but I think I might be having a DPDR episode), but I’ve been sitting on the Elle(s) series for a good few months now, and I don’t really get any deeper connection
I’ll get the next book anyway and see if any of it ties up more neatly. I know its the artists’ first comic I believe, so maybe theres not so much depth becauseeee offff inexperience. Or translation issues because I believe it came out elsewhere first. I dont know!
O well, enjoy my short review

ALSO TELL ME ABOUT LAMP PLEASE
YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!! HI HOLLIE HI ROSE
lamp isn’t technically an oc I was just thinking Damn… wouldnt it be funny if a jester had a mask and it glowed when it was popped and it was like a fucked up desk lamp… and then things Happened in my brain.
Lamp is roughly 26 years old and will probably reach the age of 45, contrary to normal jester lifetimes (up to 150). this is definitely because of the mask latched onto its right eyesocket, slowly devouring it!
It has not ever met Indigo or Monsoon, and it’s sort of debatable whether or not it exists in the same universe.
Together, the jester and mask create a gestalt :] (in simpler meanings. think of the relationship parasitic fungi have with ants, minus the immediate death of the host!)
The jester half of the relationship is mostly conscious and deeply murderous. The mask half is significantly more docile in behaviors, relating to a regular masked’s habitual stalking and whatnot. It’s not exactly used to possessing a body that’s not explicitly human shaped, so there’s been some complications.
As time progresses, Lamp (as a singular entity) will decay as any usual host will. At one point, the jester half will be subsumed by the mask and entirely absorbed and overtaken.
The reason there’s a mask latched onto its skull is because some random employee majorly panicked and threw a comedy mask at it, which actually helped them escape.
Lamp is constantly bleeding. Normally, a jester doesn’t explicitly bleed; it’s just a mushy mass of preserved flesh that’s nowhere near as fragile as it seems. Because of the mask’s slow consumption and the depth that the mask’s roots have dug into as well as its small amount of experience regarding non-humanoid hosts, Lamp is basically dealing with over a dozen open wounds at all times! Existing is agonizing!
Since the jester wasn’t fully possessed during the first initial attempt, the mask is only able to influence its behaviors and subtly direct it to do other things. For example, if lamp were to chase down a crew mate and the mask didn’t want said crew mate to die yet, it would be able to slow its movements and redirect it briefly in order to give that individual a little more time. It’s not able to stop Lamp from killing them, however.
Lamp does not need to eat. It’s actually unable to because of the mask’s roots. It’s… not a pretty sight, inside of the box. It’s really not.
Collectively they combined create ‘lamp’. Otherwise, they’re both just regular individuals of both species.
Lamp cannot wind very quickly, and the song is very broken up. Leave it to a mask to mangle all of the careful things going on in the box (the jester is very pissed about this but cannot do anything about it)
The jester is effectively blind. The mask is not. The jester has an amazing sense of hearing and senses vibrations very well. Combined, you’ve got every crew’s worst nightmare—if Lamp can actually wind itself. It takes longer than two minutes, that I can assure you.
There was one single occasion when Lamp fell down a flight of stairs. It was embarrassing, because there was another masked at the bottom. Lamp mauled it out of embarrassment and generally murderous instinct. (The mask itself was not happy about this.)
The relationship it has with other Masked is very very complicated. Over time, as the jester half is consumed, affectionate interactions come easier. Currently, about two months into being stuck together, Lamp has a greater tendency to avoid masked or otherwise murder them. The instinct to grab them and shake like a rabid dog is so prevalent that the Mask cannot even begin to attempt to suppress it.
It Can vomit blood as a regular masked would. It’s kind of like a firehose, though. Like, yknow how a pressure washer can remove flesh from bone? Short range with a very long ‘recharge’. Mainly because there’s not as much blood in its body as you’d expect.
They are two individual beings shoved into one body, one of which is significantly ’fainter’ than the other. There has been more than one occasion where the jester half has attempted to claw the mask off with its singular hand. It has not worked.
Yes, the blood boils. It’s steadily eroding Lamp’s ‘skull’ away, and eating through the box. The skull will eventually have enough grooves and wedges that it just falls apart. The box will experience this as well.
It’s not outright hate; the jester dislikes the mask as one would dislike a spider trapped in their closet. Annoying. Not really bothered by death, just sort of begrudgingly wandering around with it. It doesn’t have the real capability to remove it nor does it retain enough of itself to hate it.
i barely think about lamp im ngl … I made all of this up on the spot thankyou 2 for askign..

Do all the ones you haven't gotten yet 😂🥰❤️ ilysm
OMG YOU BRAT
1. Which of your fics would you keep the basic plot of but rewrite completely? Um, probably my Linstead multi-chapter (I think you're familiar hahahaha), mostly because I had no plan in place and it became a total mess. So I guess I would rewrite it by... not writing it at all? Oh! But seriously I kind of wish I could go back and re-write this one. It was my first foray into writing for Chenford, and I've been thinking about a bunch lately for some reason (I think because it's vaguely related to another idea I have). I wish I'd kept it entirely canon compliant.
3. How would you describe your writing style? Lately? Nonexistent.
4. Do you have any OCs? Do you have a story for them? Original characters are TERRIFYING to me. There's a reason I write fanfic and not original fiction, coming up with characters (especially well-rounded, relatable ones that people like) feels impossible. So I just... don't. (To the point that I researched the names of every single referenced member of Metro so I could use actual character names and not make any up. I have the list if anyone's interested 😜)
5. What's a tag you never want to use for your works even when it applies? I find this question confusing. I never want to use MCD, but it shouldn't ever apply since I have no intention to write it. What a cop out of an answer, but I don't understanddddd. OH! I sometimes wish I could exclude relevant tags for the surprise factor.
6. What's your ratio for rating your works? What does this mean? Oh wait, I think it means in terms of T vs M vs E? Sex brings it to M, and porn is E?
7. Your favourite ao3 tag. Lately? Established relationship or missing moment.
8. How slow is a slow burn? So slow that they spend most of the story dancing around their feelings and only get together near the very end.
12. If you write in more than one language, what's the difference? Strictly English over here.
13. Rate your worldbuilding skills from 1 to 10. Uh... 1 or 2? Because I don't build worlds, I play in existing ones created by the show?
16. Are one-shots really underrated? Wait are they underrated??? WHY?? I LOVE a one-shot. Whether it's 500, 2000, or 10K words, I love being able to sit down and enjoy and fully fleshed out story from start to finish.
17. Past or present tense? Why? I used to write in past tense, but I think reading more present tense influenced me to do the same, and now I prefer present.
19. Share a snippet from a wip without giving any context for it.
“No!” she practically shouts at him. She takes a moment to school herself, exhaling slowly. “I mean, Tim, I say this with love, but if you don’t give me some fucking space, I will kill you.”
20. Do you work on a single project or many at the same time? How does that work for you? Many. Though it usually bites me in the ass because I end up stuck on something, and then something else, etc. So clearly it doesn't work all that well. But I think (unless I was on a total roll, which sometimes happens) I'd be stifled if I focused on only one thing. Plus ideas tend to multiply.
21. Can you accurately predict how long your fics are going to be? If you can, what's your secret? No, not really. I don't typically write anything super long though.
22. What is it about watching the same two idiots falling in love over and over again? I DON'T KNOW BUT I LOVE MY IDIOTS!!!!
24. Thoughts on flashbacks/flashforwards. Not really a fan, especially if they're super long. A couple of lines here or there are a-okay with me, but when you're italicizing half a chapter? Pass.
25. Is writing the whole thing beforehand better or worse than writing it as you go? As in, with a multi-chapter? I clearly suck at that, so I think I'd only ever do another if I wrote the whole thing in advance (or at least had a VERY clear plan in place)
27. Do you agree that one shouldn't start a story with a piece of dialogue? Nope, strongly disagree. Sometimes it just works to jump right in without preamble.
28. Any writing advice that works for you and you feel like sharing? Not really, but I'll take any advice you want to throw at me, because I am soooooo stuck.
30. Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn't. Well right now, every single one. Because I CAN'T WRITE 😩. Oh, but my Contractor Jay fic counts I guess? *Sigh* 10K words of nothing. IT HAUNTS ME
32. Do you have a word/expression that you always use in your writing? Fuck. And murmur. I looooove murmur, it's my favourite.
33. Give your writing a compliment. 😩 I... can... idk dude, I can't right now. How do you compliment something that doesn't exist?!?!?!? I'm going with my fallback -- I'm decent(ish) with words themselves, but ideas are my struggle.
34. Do you write to improve? Or is that not a concern for you? Do I sound like an ass if I say no? 😬 I write as a creative outlet, that's all.
35. Thoughts on writing challenges/contests. Contests, no thanks, I don't like the idea of pitting writers against each other (assuming that's what that means???). I'm all about celebrating other writers. Challenges, like #chenfordweek? YES, I wrote more that week that I had in ages, I apparently do well when there's a fire under my ass.
36. How do you come up with fic titles? What's the one you're most proud of? I ask you? 😅 And when I try by myself, I follow your lead of Taylor Swift lyrics. Fave of the ones I've managed to do on my own? I like this one best I think?
38. "This never happened" fix-it fics or "this happened but" fix-it fics?
Tumblr media
As long as you fix it, I'm happy! (Yes Suz, I mean you specifically here)
39. Wildest AU scenario you have written? I've only written one, so I guess that's it -- paging Dr. Jay Halstead. I don't think any of the AU ideas I've played around with are particularly wild.
40. Write a 9-word fic. What the fuck is this question?!!? Tim Bradford loves Lucy Chen forever and ever. Amen. Nine words does not a fic make.
Thanks-ish, I love you and I hate you for this 💖

hello z, i have tried to pick some fun ones! 36, 62, 93
!! o bud of buds!! holy cow!
36. do you base your characters of real people or not? If so, tell us about one.
this is a bit of a tricky question with fic, but of course the answer remains ultimately yes -- bc all those little details that don't exist in the original text need to come from somewhere, and it turns out that you can flesh out existing characters quite a bit in a way that still feels IC with details from your mom or bestie (cough) or that one waiter at that restaurant. With OCs, who are usually also NPCs, it's also best practice as far as I'm concerned to plagiarize wholesale from real life -- they don't really matter except as flavor or to act as a cog in the machinery of how the scene moves forward, so you might as well make it easy on yourself AND possibly get a tiny inside joke with yourself, and also they just naturally are believable because they're real. Trying to come up with someone Distinctive and Wacky almost always reads false, whereas if you just use a real human who is distinctive and wacky au naturel they just... work. Shout-out to the inclusion in one of my stories of that one Beowulf professor who looks and acts like Santa. (I wonder if he's still with us?) Making that guy up would be stupid and you'd be tempted to include Fun Details to color him in; as is he just. Exists. Much better.
62. what’s the weirdest reason you’ve ever shipped something?
I thiiiink I can say that my shipping reasons are almost never because something would be Hot (unless I'm lying, but I don't think I am), so I guess in the larger fic context that might be weird in itself. Off the top of my head weird is a big ask. I ship Sam/Eileen specifically in the sense that I want her to be really into it and I want Sam to think that he's into it and then realize very quickly that, oh yeah, he's never actually fully committed to a relationship and what was he thinking, and so they fuck once and then he takes a call from Dean practically before he's wiped off and Eileen realizes with sinking disappointment and humiliation that she's never ever going to measure up. Like -- the reason I ship it is out of weird spite, haha. That's pretty bad, isn't it. I also ship Paul/Jessica from Dune basically purely out of that one scene where they first climb into their stillsuits in the first movie, not because I actually want to but because they are so fucking weird about it, and what is shipping really but listening to the weird-ass notes that canon itself drops and going "...wait, you what?"
93. do you hear other people’s writing styles when they talk?
SUPER no. I mean for a given value of talk. I am lucky enough to have some writer-buds and the way they communicate in text hardly matches up at all to the stuff they put out, which I find really interesting. I've been told that I talk a little how I write but of course that depends on the fandom and the mood of the story -- like, Supernatural-from-Dean's-POV-the-way-I-write-it tends to be really naturalistic and straightforward and he even drops a lot of the same references I would (seriously, Dean would've gotten along with the z fam), so that just feels like--transcribing. But, you know, The Australian doesn't work that way, nor does The Ornithologist. (Last time I read narrative from The School was a long time ago but I think that was a little closer? We'd have to think about it.) I wonder if that's a deliberate choice from people? I wonder further if literally writing more volume of words might affect how you communicate non-narratively. e.g. David Sedaris (for this week's mild obsession) certainly talks how he writes, but which came first? Conundrums.

Meowdy! What is your favorite part about making characters? What is your least favorite part?
Hi! Hi!
(I'm most definitely going to store 'Meowdy' in my dictionary now. I love it.)
Before I jump into this -- please, excuse any typos or other errors I may make. Brain fog is hitting me really hard right now, so well. I am trying. My head just doesn't want to co-operate. (I know I could technically wait, but... a. I don't know when this situation may improve; b. I've been dying to talk about this, since it is an interesting topic).
--
I would say that my process starts at a story, so all of my favourite and most disliked things about making characters are fairly connected to that.
Essentially, I get an idea blurb, make a character-crutch to realise it... and then gradually develop them as events progress, usually while writing. (That's why I talk more about Esther than Viva -- I've simply written more of her). Sometimes I do not plan for a character to become a fully-fledged OC, but the opportunity just calls for it. (Like with Tatsuoki in Winter Flower -- it was around 20k words mark that it occurred to me it would make perfect sense to flesh him out... and so editing commenced).
As such, the favourite moment? When things just start falling into place, and I am inclined to think my character doesn't seem like just a convenient tool for the sake of plot. I want for their internal structure to believably generate events.
Least favourite? My constant source of despair? It means I have to write, or to at least spend a good amount of time contemplating a story (which, arguably, may be worse -- I tend to go through multiple scenarios then. It is easier to settle on things once the words hit the paper). And there are too few Loreis for that! I have more ideas than I can reliably process, but letting go of them makes me sad...
... It's also my current position :') Worst part is, I have the general background idea for this OC. I know what personality framework I'd start with. I know the general plot premise. I know the pairing (... it'd be Clavis). I know how it'd fit into my Pri OC-verse. HELL, I even have the name for her (... Veronica Theresa Pia di Fiore ...) and the design. I JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH COPIES OF MYSELF >,>
There are also side characters I came up with that haven't appear anywhere yet. Which is also a source of my " D: ". Because to write them, I first need to get a good grasp on some other events, and for that, well... More writing needs to be done. (That being said... It will be amusing if you ever see Stella "Shtela" Bergamotka, just saying.)

4 5 6 12 19 43 Jesse ltb!!! And then b c d f g!!
4: How easy is it to earn their trust?
It's not easy to get trust from either of them, but Jesse is generally far easier to gain the trust and favour of than Mundy. Mundy is extremely standoffish and even after almost a month of spending time around Jesse, he still doesn't fully trust her (as evidenced with the ending of chapter 10).
5: How easy is it to earn their mistrust?
Once you've secured Jesse's trust you're likely to stay in her good graces. For Mundy, it heavily depends on how much he actually likes you, but his trust is also broken very easily. He's a lot like a feral cat in that regard. It takes forever to gain his trust, and one wrong move sends him retreating.
6: Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?
I already answered this here!
12: How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?
If Jesse's with someone (and she's comfortable enough with them) she'll ask them to scratch it. If she's not comfortable enough she'll desperately contort herself trying to scratch it until she either actually reaches it, or the other person feels bad enough to scratch it for her. If she's alone she just copes.
Mundy uses random objects (often sticks) to scratch it, or alternatively he'll just shove his back against a surface (usually a tree) and shift back and forth to scratch it like a bear. It works.
19: What is their favourite number?
Jesse's is 5, the number she was on her baseball team. Mundy's is 9 because mine is 9.
43: If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so? 
Jesse has little concept of sexuality and probably doesn't even know the meaning of the word. She knows Liem likes blokes, and knows some chicks like chicks, but as for herself she probably couldn't give you an answer. "Guys are hot. But chicks are kinda hot too. That don't make me gay." From an author's perspective, Jesse is bisexual with a preference for blokes. She just doesn't know people can bat for both teams. She only realises she's bisexual after Mundy outright tells her that you can do that.
Mundy would say he's straight, and he won't elaborate further than that. Author's perspective, he's bisexual with a heavy preference for chicks. He has no attraction to blokes unless he already knows them very well. He doesn't even realise this until he sees Jesse in her old baseball uniform looking very much like a bloke and has an Awakening about it. Realises she's just as hot as a bloke as she is a chick. And then he shags her.
B) What inspired you to create them?
I answered that here!
C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?
Originally Jesse was the centre of the story, but as I've been writing the story's sort of shifted to focus more on Mundy as I've grown more attached to him and my writing has shifted more to something therapeutic for me.
Originally Mundy was just set in place for Jesse's story, but I've had a lot of fun exploring Mundy (and myself through him) and so now he's fixated as the centrepiece with Jesse. It's not Jesse's story any more but it's not Mundy's either. It's their story, together.
D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?
Mundy has always had the same physical appearance. As I've fleshed him out I've added more scars, and each one has a specific story attached to it--all of which are gradually explained as the story progresses.
Jesse, meanwhile, used to be a bloke! But as I explained here, Jesse is also a way for me to explore a little femininity without also abandoning her masculinity (as she is a tomboy!) The most recent change to Jesse's appearance is the addition of two little scars over her left brow, which she'll obtain at a point later in the story. I'd already planned for one minute scar, but the presence of two is the direct influence of someone I'm very close to.
F) What do you feel when you think of your OC (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?
I answered this here!
G) What trait of theirs bothers you the most?
Jesse's is talking so much. My ADHD isn't talking (but that does happen when it's a special interest of mine) but rather an inability to sit still. The only time I can sit still is if I'm working, because I'm hyper-focussed on what I'm looking at through my scope and listening to what's going on around me. I struggle with writing Jesse's rambles the most. In addition to that, I also struggle with her sunshininess. Contrary to popular belief I'm generally fairly pessimistic, I'm always making plans for what I'm going to do if things go wrong, and it's hard to keep up with Jesse's constant optimism while balancing that with how pessimistic she actually is but doesn't show. Also it's hard writing feminine girls, which is another reason why I made Jesse a tomboy. Jesse doesn't need to know the names for all the clothing styles Claire was wearing because she doesn't care enough about it to learn, and I don't either. God bless our tomboys.
For Mundy, it's all the ways he's similar to me. It's hard to see my own faults reflected back at me. Like looking in a very unflattering mirror. But it gives him character, and it makes him more human, and writing is my therapy, so here we are.

"They've been so quiet, my dreamer." Estë murmurs, her soft breath fanning against Irmo's exposed neck, as the two of them cling to one another in a tight embrace.
"We should seek them out, speak with them."
Another hopeless attempt is made to push Irmo to talk, and help her decide, but he seems so lost, it's impossible to pull him out of his thoughts nevermind how hard she tries.
The silence is heavy when even Estë grows quiet, and all she does is sway around the fëantur in her arms gently for another minute or so, before he finally, finally, decides to speak his mind.
"I fear that we'll lose them..." That single sentence, that passes through Irmo's plush lips is quiet, soft, and full of an unmistakable grief, that swallows him whole and threatens to claw at his insides, to tear through flesh and break bone, to create a nest, a void of sadness, within his usually beautiful and vibrant fëa.
It still bore his beautiful song, yet there were changes to it - a faint hymn, so full of sorrow and pain, and, it only seemed to grow the longer he held back his emotions.
"We won't lose them if we confront them. Our little lily needs our help." Soft and dainty fingers dry tear stained cheeks and eyes. One thumb brushes over a tired eyelid whilst the other strokes the white haired vala's cheek carefully, before Estë continues her best to pull him out of this state.
She doesn't remember the last time she saw him this shattered and broken - had she ever?
"You have to understand this my love, we can't keep fearing for the worst and not take action, the worst will be the outcome if we do not... I am not as knowledgeable on topics like these as your sister, perhaps... but what I do know is, that we have to be brave and take them with us here - letting them rot in the halls of Mandos until they've fully healed, will do no good."
"I cannot look at them when I was among the valar who chose them to go shelter the wounded and scared in middle-earth." Irmo whimpers shakily.
He claws at his wife's dress and doubles over, resting his forehead against her shoulder.
"They begged, cried, did everything in their power to prove that this was not a mission fit for them- and yet we sent them away, only for them to come back mute, emotionless and shattered. I'm ashamed of myself for ever agreeing to sending them away, I doubt Nienna is proud of making the final choice too, despite all of us agreeing it was a good idea... I think Kalla's name just popped out of her mouth during that meeting, without actually meaning to suggest them." The cracks in his usually warm and smooth voice become increasingly louder, sadness so prominent you could almost see the blue aura around his fána.
It was painful to witness him in such a despairing state, truly, but Estë grew irritated and stubborn.
She loved the man with her whole fëa and fána, she adored him to her very core, and would always love and support him unconditionally.
Which is why it hurt her so much to seem him like this.
Though perhaps blunt when she speaks again, it is by no means meant with intentions to hurt him whatsoever.
Her words come out as stern and full of emotion: "My love, if you do not stop wallowing in self pity and guilt, I will go myself and drag Kalla back here, no questions asked and I will make you talk to them, there is no way out of this. They need you, they need me, us." She moves both of her hands to cup his chin, gently removing him from her shoulder, and looking into his tear filled eyes, before placing a small kiss on his forehead.
"But Est-"
"I will not tolerate anymore excuses, Irmo. Now listen to me."
There's a long silence between the two, as Irmo lowers his head further, a small whine threatens to rumble in his throat.
Alas, he nods, listening to his wife as she resumes speaking.
"You cannot continue to do this to yourself. You are hurting yourself by letting the guilt swallow you whole- as well as they are hurting themself by isolation and complete silence. You are leaving a wound untreated, dirty and prone to infection if not tended to soon enough."
Amethyst irises move to look directly into pools of deep emerald green, that stare into his, half lidded and full of stubborn confidence.
A fond hum fills the small grove the two lovers find themself within, slithering it's way through his post-cry swollen lips- an amused, fond, and sad hum.
He leans forward to place a soft kiss upon Estë's lips, brushing them against each other before pressing them together for a short moment.
Pulling away and wiping the rest of his tears away with the long purple sleeves of his robe, a sigh escapes his nostrils as he takes a few deep breaths.
"What would I do without you, darling?" He ponders.
"Oh Irmo, a whole lot." The lady of the hurt and weary chuckles, and takes her husband's hand.
"Come now, my dreamer, hand in hand."
"Hand in hand..." Irmo mutters, inhaling a last big gulp of air before exhaling, as they begin the journey to his brother's halls.
Tumblr media
Mandos is in chaos when the two arrive, chairs have been thrown across viridian carpets, ruined and in splinters, while vases are shattered and scattered across the floors.
Loud screaming echoes throughout the doomsman's abode, bouncing off of pillars and obsidian walls, directing themself through the rest of Mandos.
No fëar are around to be seen, and it's quiet, aside from the loud crashing ruckus echoing from the corridor to the right of the two.
They exchange worried looks and with haste, they make their way towards the chaos.
Already now do they have an idea of who it is, that is screaming their head off.
"Olothëra, I need you to calm down." Námo professionally, yet quite panickedly attempts, trying to snap Kalla out of their meltdown and reason with them.
Usually he would be calm, collected and would keep up his "stoic" facade, however, it was hard not to panic, when the small maia of his sister, had been running around and screaming on and on without giving their vocal cords a break, ruining everything piece of furniture that blocked their path, for hours on end.
It had come to a point where even he had become deeply concerned and started to feel slightly on edge.
"I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU NEED." They screech, eyes flashing with searing blue light, as they throw a vase his way, only for him to dodge it and give them a stern stare, although, the sadness behind his viridian eyes betrays him and his expression.
Kalla has never behaved like this, they've always been quiet, reserved, caring- always accepting people who need to talk, with open arms, a warm smile on their red stained lips.
Yet, now, with the intense emotions rushing through them; Anger, grief, revenge, guilt, pain- they had snapped.
After everything, bottling up and repressing their feelings, emotions and trauma- it all came tumbling down. Nobody truly knows what triggered this event.
Kalla hadn't spoken ever since their fëa had arrived in the halls of Mandos. They had but only cried or slept, and food wasn't something they interacted with much either.
The rumors of their death had been passed from hall to hall, even outside the walls of Mandos it would seem.
They whispered of Sauron kidnapping them, holding caged within the cells of angband, only to be thrown into a pit of fire by Melkor, after they had refused to crackle under his persuasion and corruption.
Those were the rumors, and what was worse? It was all the truth.
Perhaps this was why they had snapped? From discovering that the truth was out? That people now knew; they failed their mission, that they were weak and could not even keep up the duty of protecting and comforting those weaker than them.
Námo watches helplessly as they claw at the permanent scar left on their throat from years ago, when they were assaulted by the dark lord in their slumber, screaming that he had taken something from them, and how they could feel it.
They were smashing vases with dark magenta roses in them into the floor as the flashbacks of Ruinë, looking back at them with her magenta eyes, as they arrived in angband, shackled and being shoved back and forth by Melkor's followers and servants, flash before their eyes when they spot the color.
And they screamed, as loud as they possibly could, until they'd lose their voice, for all those they had failed to save.
Kalla stands in the middle of a small lounge, where fëar usually rest and collect themselves.
Crying and screeching angrily.
"IT'S MY FAULT THEY DIED- AND YOU DARE HAVE THE NERVE TO TELL ME TO CALM DOWN?!"
With spasming hands, they reach out towards Námo, as if to take ahold of his robes and shake him, but pull back and pick up another chair instead, smashing it against the floor, the splinters flying to all corners of the room.
"IT'S ALL MY FAULT, I SHOULDN'T HAVE SURVIVED THAT, THEY SHOULD'VE, NOT ME, nOt mE."
They tug and rip at their white tresses, hyperventilating and grinding their teeth together as the tears continue to spill from their eyes, seemingly never ending.
They're still screaming, their voice slowly progressing into crackling and at times fading into a whisper. It's the early signs of their vocal cords giving in, after so much strain and stress.
They could fill whole oceans with their silver tears, if they wanted, and yet, it was keeping all of these memories buried deep within and never speaking out, that was the reason they ended up here today after all, getting lost in their meltdown, so full of anger and grief, and even if their muscles grew sore and began pulsing, they didn't care- if there was something they could tear apart and destroy, just to get the frustration out, they'd find it and do it.
Consequences of their actions would have to be later, they needed to let this rage out, lest they wished to combust with other unwanted episodes like these for the future to come.
They felt their heart clench and scrunch in pain, the way grief stabbed at their gut and how the anger fried their brain, the extreme emotions too much to handle, too overwhelming.
They felt like they were freefalling into the abyss, stomach hurting from the rush of the fall, the slight feeling of nausea slithering its way to their throat, itching and burning, demanding they barf up the lunch from earlier.
They didn't want to hurt anyone, they held themself strong enough to not do so, at least, not physically.
Yelled they had, at anyone who had tried getting in their way, even now at Námo, a man they have deep respect for and will always look up to, now a victim of their wrath and suppressed trauma.
They did not notice the two faces staring at them with shock standing in the doorway to the lounge.
It was a risky move to put a hand on their shoulder, Estë knew that. They easily flinch, she might receive an arm around her waist that'll push her away gently, to protect her from their anger, but to her, it was certainly better for that to happen, than to let them continue to ruin the furniture of the lounge and hurt themself even more on the shattered clay vases, that made their ankles and feet bleed.
So she reaches out, and places the hand on the maia's shoulder, hushing softly into their ear, and speaking before they can react:
"Kalla- Breathe." She demands, sternly, yet with soft undertones laced to her warm voice.
Námo's eyes snap towards the entrance of the lounge, only to meet eyes with his younger brother, who seems to be too lost in thought to speak.
Viridian eyes move back to Estë, the confusion in them evident.
When did they arrive, how did I not notice? He wonders.
Yet as a few moments pass, his eyes grow soft with relief and flutter closed as he takes a deep breath, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
The storm is over.
The room grows quiet and the maia breathes in and out frantically, doing their best to steady their breaths.
Instead of pushing Estë away, or flinching, Kalla turns around and pulls her in, crying into her shoulder, all whilst weeping hoarse apologies to Námo for making his halls look as if a monster had walked in and smashed it to ruins.
They told him to lock them up for all eternity- that they did not deserve anyone's mercy nor pity for what had happened back in middle-earth.
They're clawing at Estë's dress as they cage her in a tight embrace, and despite the violent shake of their body, they manage to keep the hug tight, feeling her warmth move to their cold body.
They grip at the soft fabric of her dress, the cold and faint hands of their half transparent fána clawing into it, scared that she'll fade away if they let go. Another deep breath fills the silence of the room and ruby irises move from the oldest fëantur, to the youngest, who can't seem to find any words to share with the world, too overwhelmed.
Námo reaches out and places a careful hand in Kalla's soft white hair, ruffling it slowly, but remaining quiet even as he pulls away.
He wouldn't want to say something that could potentially trigger a relapse, sending them back into their raging meltdown.
So he decided to let Estë and his brother take over, whenever he was ready as well, and while the lady of the gentle takes care of them, the older brother moves towards the younger, placing a gentle and firm hand on his shoulder to snap him out of the state he finds himself in.
"Kalla my dearest- no, you've done nothing wrong- this is, we can fix the damages here- you did your very best protecting those creatures, elves, dwarves and mortals as well- you need not worry dear, you will not be punished."
Estë murmurs softly and sways them from side to side, unintentionally increasing their nausea.
"I think I'm going to vomit." They manage to just whisper, before the nausea surges through their system and they let go of Estë, pushing her away before turning around and vomiting on the floor, their whole body doubling over and cracking.
The wet sounds of vomit pattering against stone floor fills the silent room, alongside Kalla's uncomfortable cries as they cough up their lunch until they're done vomiting.
"Eru- I'm so sorry Námo. Oh I'm messing everything up, what would my lady think if she saw me in such a state..."
They cry, their voice barely a whisper.
"You needn't be, and I have no doubts that my sister would only understand and comfort you, Olothëra, have some faith in your lady." The doomsman reassures firmly, whilst rubbing Irmo's shoulder comfortingly.
Estë sighs and reaches out to Kalla, pulling back into her arms and wiping their eyes, nose and mouth from spit, snot, vomit and tears with a sage green handkerchief, soft and warm hands moving up to cup cold cheeks covered in a thin layer of cold sweat.
"It is a common reaction from people who have been through such circumstances and events as you, Nityamorco ( Little bear ). I am beyond surprised that this did not happen earlier, Nienna did mention you had a habit of keeping things on the inside, but I was not aware it was this bad."
Deep inhales and exhales fill the room again as everyone grows quiet, the three valar allowing Kalla to slowly pick up and collect themself before allowing the two fëanturi and the vala of the gentle to help.
"Irmo."
The youngest fëantur's shoulders shift up to his ears as his whole being grows stiff.
His breathing halts, as he readies himself to take the verbal punches from the small maia.
"Irmo, I don't want you to be sad. Don't forget I see through you, your eyes have never look so blue." They croak and look at the vala a few feet away from them.
Amethyst eyes now turned a deep ocean blue, that had been focused on the floor widen slowly and glide across the room and up Kalla's small form, until he meets their eyes.
"Hm?" He hums out in utter confusion.
"I don't want you to be sad, you 'nd the other valar- chose me because you were sure that the task would be one I could handle... Despite my pleas and begs, I learnt a lot from this mission...
I believe that we can learn from these mistakes, that have been made. They can never be changed, so, instead, let us accept them to be a part of us..."
"I was never mad at you. I can feel it, you think I'm mad at you, but I'm not. I could never be mad at you, not you Irmo... I'd betray my own heart."
Their tired eyes close, as a small yawn interrupts their words.
"The final decision was not your choice, that was my lady's, you and the other valar's votes only counted based on who agreed whether I was strong enough to go- I was, in reality, but... I refuse to use my power, you are well aware of this and so is she.
Why she thought I was fit for this, I still do not understand. I've a feeling it was the slip of her tongue though, a rare thing...
I only proved myself to be worthless. I could never have been prepared for what I witnessed- experienced in middle earth, I proved myself to be completely, and utterly, useless."
Flushed ears twitch slightly at the muttered words from the exhausted maia in front of Irmo, and in mere seconds the fëantur has made his way over to his wife and their friend, grabbing their hand and giving them an almost childish, angry and stubborn stare.
"Stop calling yourself such hurtful things, good Eru- You're going to drive yourself mad, little moon."
"But-"
"Mm, no." The white haired vala wraps his arm around his spouse and Kalla, shoving their face into Estë's shoulder gently.
Soft sighs escape Kalla, as the tears tumble down their face once again, the silvery droplets landing on the shoulder fabric of Estë's dress, but she cares not.
In fact, a smile tugs at the corners of her lips, while her hand moves to brush through their messy hair.
"You must be so exhausted... Our little lily bear." She mutters.
"I am." They reply, quietly and hoarsely, nails digging into Estë's back as they take in the familiar and comforting scent of warm nights, visiting her and Irmo and drinking the man's homebrewed tea, surrounded by lilies, roses and hyacinths.
"I am... really, really, tired Estë..."
Warmth tugs at the hearts of the three in their embrace, Kalla's fëa slightly passing through Irmo and Estë's fánar and merging with their fëar for but a moment, it's such a beautiful feeling.
Oh and tears are shed, though this time, they are not of sadness, nor of joy, but simple relief and the comforting sense of safety.
It's like a breath of fresh air, passing through the body and soul and cleansing it.
Námo clears his throat awkwardly and huffs in hidden amusement when 6 eyes snap towards his direction in synched unison, waiting in silence for the words directed at Irmo:
"... Well, I suppose I cannot stop you from taking them back to Lórien, can I?"
"Oh, Absolutely not. We're taking them."
A cheshire grin forms on Irmo's lips, his eyes flashing with a flurry of color, before changing back to his amethyst hues, his emotions settling once again.
"Very well..." The older hums, staying silent for a minute, scanning his surroundings. The cluttered mess around him of broken chairs and shattered vases- the vomit on the floor- is enough to call forth a slow headache, that's taking its sweet time to slither its way to his eyes and forehead and pulse uncomfortably. This wasn't the only room that had fallen victim to Kalla's destructive meltdown, however... Perhaps there were some good things this event.
Long had the doomsman and and his spouse discussed changing up the interior of the halls, as the leaves of the trees had begun to shift in color, turning orange and red, resembling Arien's beautiful fire and light, and the smell of pumpkin pies filled the air around Vána and Oromë's cottage, whilst the breeze slowly became crisp and began to bite and nip softly at sensitive skin.
"There's so much that needs to be cleaned and fixed..."
"Námo!" Irmo exasperatedly huffs out, cheeks puffed and lips pouted, as a deeper red mixes with his amethyst irises, gaze shifting between Kalla and him, scared his little moon will start feeling guilty again.
"What? Excuse me, mr. mothmorien, Is it not the truth? Look around, I am not trying to make anyone feel bad- but look at this place, it's a mess, no?" He chuckles, a rare thing to catch the doomsman allowing himself to do around most.
He flips his hands around, gesturing to the clutter surrounding the 4 of them.
"I must say Olothëra, your work is impressive. For someone so small, you sure can turn the whole of my domain upside down with no hardships. Are you sure you're not one of Tulkas' reckless maiar?" Námo huffs, drawing a smile from of them.
The room goes quiet for a minute, before the sound of restrained snorts fill the silence, which shifts into small snickers and suddenly bursts out into loud and tired laughter.
"Never let them know your next move, or- or whatever it is Aurëlius usually says."
They laugh and wipe the tears from their eyes, pressing their hand against Irmo's face to get him to look at them and not his brother.
"Tell your maiar I said hi and I'm sorry for giving them more work and"
A pale hand full of silver rings on each finger and chains wrapped around the wrist delicately is raised, silencing the maia.
"Worry not, I'm sure they'd count redecorating the halls as a break from all the- well- death, and if it would be a relief to you, then your punishment shall be that you join them." He hums, letting a small smile flash on his features before switching up to his poker face once again.
"Now go, rest."
With those three simple words from the doomsman, Estë grins throws Kalla over her shoulder, chuckling at the squeak that escapes their lips.
The vala of dreams follows behind the two, halting for a moment to look at his brother, only to blink and give him a bright smile.
"I should send you and Vairë a bouquet as thanks!"
"I'd rather you not." Námo sighs and shoos his brother out of the lounges doorway, shaking his head with a smile threatening to claw its way back onto his face as he watches the three go.
"... What will I tell Vairë when she gets back with her new silks and sees this mess."

orchid sunflower iris for anyone ya want!!
ooo i’m gonna do Lola because I don’t talk about her that much!!
orchid - is your f/o also your favorite character from their respective media, or is it someone else?
If i were going off of Looney Tunes as whole, no, but as far as just TLTS goes she’s a close tie with Daffy.
sunflower - do you make fun of or tease your f/o a lot, or can you not bring yourself to be lovingly mean to them?
My s/i Dusty is kind of a dick but she has a very soft spot for Lola so she reserves the usual teasing for her other partner
iris - does your self insert for your f/os source material have a detailed and complex story and character arc, or are they just kinda vibing?
I like to make all my self inserts fully fleshed out characters because it’s more fun, but comparatively speaking, Dusty leans more towards just vibing. Even though i only f/o Lola from TLTS, i use her as a general LT oc so she has a lot of established relationships with the other characters but nothing too complex.

I would like some of your OC hcs for Bity-Bity so I can add them to my list & also I love your OCs so please share thank you ♡
SCREAMING AND EATING THIS ASK /pos
Alr Alr first up I realized that I’ve never drawn Rowan’s fully feral form so I sketched it up real quick
Tumblr media
he’s not a zombie this is just normal for him.
i wrote a couple bigger lore dumps before, but the tldr is that he was cursed by a witch and his soul was solidified into a magic orb. if the orb is removed he becomes this feral, rotting creature. but if you have the orb you can control him and as long as he’s fed you get immortality and incredible regeneration.
in terms of the bitey bitey au:
When doby first becomes infected, tim suspects rowan, because when he drains the life force of someone, their body goes through similar symptoms.
then doby rips into his arm and he goes “oh shit nvm”
they try a couple different experiments with Rowan’s orb and his powers to cure infected, but it goes horribly wrong
the thing is, whoever holds the orb controls the feral form, so when a zombie has it, they start telling rowan “I’m so hungry. Need to eat.” over and over. this is coupled with the fact that regenerating it’s host takes a lot of energy, which means rowan is already hungry for life force. Plus, the iron build up around the physical orb itself is causing him to feel like his whole body is dipped in acid.
so he screams and attacks randomly until jack and Cody pin him down and rip out the orb.
otherwise, he’s utterly immune to the virus. because he’s just a big orb. his “human” form is just a corpse he puppets around to pretend to not be an orb. and kiss people.
he can easily carry 2 people on his back, so usually when someone goes out for supplies, they ride him. since he can sense life force, he can detect nearby infected, plus he can always bite back.
tim, jeff, doby, and brian are MIA, but the remaining infected get locked up in rowan’s room. he uses his fae abilities to keep them docile (magic mushroom powers lets go)
infected still try to eat him though!! especially in human form. so he’ll be chilling in his room and toby will walk up and just. take a massive bite out of his arm. and rowans just like “ahaha”. luckily the flesh regenerates.
For other ccp ocs,
Aspen Kyton is also immune, being a fae/demon hybrid. But he’s so deep in the underworld that she wouldn’t even know about it. I think Aphrodite’s blood would still affect infected, but Cody was forbidden from trying it considering how hard it is to get already.

Hello phrend. 😎 2deep4me writer asks:
What's the fic you're most proud of?
13. Do you take pride in your writing, or does it embarrass you? Why?
14. Do you compare yourself to other writers? In a positive or negative way?
15. How do you think your writing has improved over time?
Thank u for the ask!! Makes me very happy and lets me ramble abt stuff!
1, Honestly hard to say. Like, I'm proud of One Dog Night because it was the first thing I ever posted and like, really snowballed me into doing more and putting myself out there more. But on the other hand, Month to Love a Werewolf is the first multi-chapter piece I finished! And now Sirens' Guard Dog is on the way. I think those are my big three-- but as far as picking one goes?
It's really hard to say. I can't pick my favorite child lol.
13, Depends on if it is anon online or IRL.
Online? hell yeah i'm proud of being fully unhinged for my blorbo. almost at 350k in 2 years and like. ~300k of that is hans. my really sad sack awful blorbo who i love with all my little heart. stinky, stupid wolfman with a flair for the dramatic.
But IRL? I am a professional with a career you wouldn't catch me dead bringing up writing or fanfic in public. like, my folks asked me once over a holiday why I was on my laptop and what i was writing and i immediately had to bullshit that it was some stupid literary analysis to keep my skills sharp when, uh, it was really werewolf smut. very, very close to being busted but they aren't curious enough to press and i'm a fool not a coward.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION is when i am around those friends that are my enablers and don't care lmao. They think it's funny and it's on brand. Alternatively it's just one facet of the strange little gremlin they've let into their lives. I mean well--promise.
14, yeah. like, healthy or not i'm always out here comparing myself in both good ways and bad. some for learning new styles and tricks and broadening my horizons, but some for like. competitive purposes. and there's nothing to be competitive about but i've been in competitive schooling all my life and for a kid who grew up with little self confidence feeding on the praise of being "gifted" it really sticks with you. so there are many a conscious reminder that it's all for fun. that i shouldn't stress and that it's for me, even if some of that is a lie (i mean, come on--sometimes i'll write shit to brighten somebody's day but generally it's whatever catches my fancy).
but like, old habits die hard and i'm hungry for kudos and comments lmao. usually it doesn't get bad but if it does, i just bury my head in a different crafty pile of sand.
15, I HAVE A TIMELINE. we'll summarize it as exponential improvement and development tho lol.
nobody here will see the shit i wrote in middle school. we're talking paper journal self insert fic that i wrote chapters and chapters of (granted these were like, 100-ish words a chapter). talk about humble beginnings.
move to highschool and i have some fanfic and also a bit of OC work that I share in my school's creative writing club (bruh I STILL wasn't sharing fanfic).
in college I didn't write much. too busy under an engineering course load but i have a few things here and there. mostly fun little snippets of fluff to keep myself occupied.
but that said, now that i'm working and trying to live my best life, i've definitely gotten better in coherent plotlines, length, and fleshing out the details. i still have all the old stuff (even the paper journals, somewhere) and a decade+ later it's meteoric improvement lol. when i wrote One Dog Night that was the longest single story I'd written by a mile. and now i'm on a long chapter work i've updated weekly since i started it following an outline. i'm boggling my own mind.
but that said: i've always been creative and colorful, have not always been able to actually finish a story. funny enough, i've also never had a formal, regular beta and something tells me that won't change soon. (altho sometimes I do ask for a second set of eyes-- so thanks to y'all that have done it for me!)
can't wait to see how i keep growing!

And on to the next day/s of Whumpuary 👀
Aaaand a bit later, I forgot to post this-
Day: 5/6
Prompt: "This is gonna hurt"
Characters: Leticia Kovaćs (Hetalia Capital OC, Budapest), Alicja Dandreit (Hetalia Capital OC, Warsaw), Isak Nordin (Hetalia Capital OC, Stockholm)
Leticia was always a busy bee. Humming to herself whilst she whirred through her room, as if little wings carried her everywhere she went and thus accelerated her speed. She'd do some stuff here and take it with her, then forget about it until it would eventually land somewhere completely unrelated - and once she'd find it again, she'd see the constellation she accidentally made and would immediately have new ideas blossoming in her mind of which she'd always quickly take notice. At that point though, her journal for future ideas she never really got to was almost full, which meant Leticia would either have to finally get to some of these noted down ideas for later... or she'd have to buy a new journal.
Given the fact that this was filled-to-the-brim journal number three, it was apparent which route she usually preferred to take.
At the moment, the Hungarian model and designer was busy preparing an outfit for herself and her girlfriend, a Lithuanian shopkeeper of a beauty salon, as it was their anniversary soon. Leticia was more than excited - she really wanted this to be perfect, for Alicja to melt on the spot and for this to set the evening off juuuust right. While she worked, Leticia kept on mumbling to herself, eyes always downcast at the stuff she was doing with her hands. "Hmm, so... I was thinking, maybe something... pink for Licja? But not hot pink, oh no no no, darling. Hot pink clashes with her emerald green eyes, she needs something more pale. Perhaps Taffy...? Or would Lemonade look better...?", she mumbled under her breath, all while shuffling through the many shades of pink material she possessed, which were a lot. Her head then suddenly snapped around as Leticia caught something in her peripheral view and she gasped, her eyes going wide. "Wait, what about my outfit anyway?? What should I wear?? Oh me oh my, this is more stressful than I thought, and I've been doing this for literal decades...!", the poor Hungarian panicked, gnawing on her perfect Luxury Purple nails as her heart rate increased.
One bite especially seemed to not hit its supposed spot though and instead went right into the flesh of her left pointer finger, which caused Leticia to cry out in pain. "Ouch! Oh stars damn it, nothing is going right here today!!", she complained and stomped her high-heeled foot on the ground like a petulant little child... which was when the right heel of her most favorite shoes broke off.
Once Leticia's brain fully registered the meaning of this horrible cracking noise and the fact that, yes, those were indeed her most favorite high-heels she got from a trusted designer friend back in the 30's, all hell broke loose - tears welled up in her eyes, she tried to hold her head in her neck to keep the tears at bay yet the moment her lower lip began quivering as well, she broke down onto her knees as dramatically as only her Portuguese cabaret singer girl friend Vanessa could ever do and started bawling like a baby.
This, of course, alerted her girlfriend Alicja, who came rushing into Leticia's designing room as fast as she could. "Ticia?! What happened??", the Lithuanian woman asked in a frenzy as she quickly made her way over to her much taller spouse and held her shoulders the moment they met on the same level, all while Leticia kept on sobbing helplessly, raising her face up from her - by then - in make-up smeared and absolutely wet hands, tears still streaming down her face.
"It's- It's a disaster, darling! All I wanted-", a point at which she had to stop so she could breathe and sniffle, "was to pick out the- the perfect shade of pink for you, but-", again, Leticia took a mini break, "but then I panicked and-and bit my finger! Now my make-up and hair are ruined, I'm- Owww... I'm bleeding from my finger, I ruined my white carpet with the blood I'm spilling and I-", a third time, Leticia had to stop as more tears came into her eyes at the thought of her broken shoe and she tried hard not to bawl again - only to fail so helplessly. "I- I ruined my shoeeees...! Those were 3.780.000 Forint! I'll never get those baaack!!"
Alicja sighed at the mess Leticia unintentionally created, hugging her still sobbing girlfriend tightly and kissing her head - her hair was already ruined so what was the damage that could be done, really. A gentle smile came onto her face afterwards and she pulled it away from Leticia's shoulder a little after having shushed her for a bit, ideas coming into her head.
"Now now, my dazzling star, no need to cry. How about this? I'll take care of your hair and make-up, since that's literally my job," she giggled shortly at that sentence, "in the meantime, we'll ask Isak to tend to your finger and then we'll see about your shoes, yeah? All is fixable with just a little work, you'll see. You'll be a brightly shining star again like always in no time, princess.", Alicja cooed over her girlfriend, who by then had managed to calm down a bit and simply sniffled, looking into the Lithuanian's general direction and nodding as she wiped her face with the flat insides of her hands. "If- If you say so, darling..."
Before they could get started on restoring Leticia's looks, however, Alicja brewed the model a cup of berry tea, bringing it over to her personal at-home salon station where her beautiful girlfriend already sat, still mourning over her favorite shoes. Alicja chuckled a little, to both lift up the mood but also to get Leticia's attention in a softer way than just suddenly speaking up. "Here you go, sweetie, one cup of flaming hot berry tea, just for you. Enjoy, please!", she sweetly wished her girlfriend, who smiled right back - if barely so but at least she somehow did - and gratefully took the cup from the beauty guru's hands.
As the shorter of the two women then began working on helping her girlfriend restore herself, she hummed to herself shortly and - without ever looking up from what she was doing - spoke into the void, knowing her friend would hear her regardless. "Hey, Isak? Do you have a moment? Ticia had a beauty crisis and injured herself - it's nothing major, just a bloody finger, but it's still enough to restrict her working abilities.", Alicja explained the situation as she brushed through Leticia's gorgeous chestnut brown hair - shortly afterwards, she felt a wave of content wash over her, making her smile so gently. And she knew that Leticia was likely doing the same.
Isak appeared in the room not too long after, holding a medical kit in his right hand as he carefully knocked on the door with his left hand. "Hey Licja, you called? I heard about what happened and would love to help wherever I can.", Isak kindly explained, causing Alicja to look up into the mirror with a big smile on her face, a way for her to be able to show her facial expression towards the Swede without having to turn her head. "Oh, you're such a sweetheart, Isak, thank you so much! Your nickname Lifesaver is truly deserved!", she happily praised her friend, who grinned a little and rubbed the back of his neck.
A little later, Isak knelt in front of Leticia, getting out some supplies to disinfect the wound on her left pointer finger. He shot her a small but warning look through his thick glasses, his eyebrows rising a little. "I just want to warn you now, Leticia: this is gonna hurt. Only for a short while but it will. Just so you're aware, okay?", he warned her to which the Hungarian model nodded in understanding, just moments before the disinfectant touched her ripped open skin. "I understand- OW! Fucking hell, Isak, warn me next time!", she first consented then suddenly cussed harshly, attempting to pull her finger away on instinct, yet Isak held her hand firmly in his, a nonchalant look on his face as he did so.
"I literally just did. Now hush, grit your teeth if you must, but this wound needs to be disinfected or else it'll catch an infection - and then you can completely forget about working on anything in the foreseeable future.", Isak monotonously informed her, Leticia herself gasping at the possibility of her not being able to finish Alicja's and her own anniversary outfits on time should her finger get infected. As such, she grit her teeth like a big girl and toughed it out, pouting down at the ground right in front of Isak's feet whilst both the medic himself and Alicja worked on Leticia's body in their own ways.
Though sometimes, Isak wondered if Leticia stared daggers through him instead of through the ground.
About two hours later, Leticia's hair was finally ready and perfect again, as was her makeup, and her finger looked much better, too. She smiled at herself in the big mirror and twirled happily, squealing at the complete transformation her girlfriend managed to pull on her... only to suddenly remember her broken shoes, which made her smile drop in an instant.
"Licja, darling, I really love what you did here for me, but... say, what about my shoes...? See, they truly were incredibly expensive, I didn't exaggerate with that price, you know? That, and a trusted designer friend of mine made those for me, so they also have lots of sentimental value to me...", Leticia quietly brought up, feeling somewhat guilty. After all that her spouse had done for her, this is how she chose to thank her...? Talk about being ungrateful...
But Alicja only shook her head. "Don't worry about that, my love. I already sent your shoes to a shoemaker specialized on vintage shoes, with a special note attached that they're for 'the one and only Leticia Kovaćs' so may he please do all that he could to restore these shoes? And he said yes! We should be able to retrieve them in about a week, and during that time, how about you wear some of the shoes you bought last year? There's still some pairs that have literally never left their boxes before, it's about time they see the light of the sun.", Alicja first reassured Leticia, then joked light-heartedly, something at which the latter gladly nodded at in understanding and agreement.
As they then left Alicja's at-home salon station room again, the Lithuanian carefully took Leticia's hand and held it in her own rather small hand, smiling at her as they left. "And oh, by the way: I like Fern green the most, it brings out my eyes and hair. No need to use pink for me.", she quickly informed her girlfriend, who chuckled and gave a single nod. "Fern green it is then, darling."

Some more sillies of some cryptic ish bullshit of my oc im reviving from @ghouljams 1fae1 au lore(ish) ig? no interactions here i mean
bonus! mizu doodle
Tumblr media
idk word vomit may be messed up mobile tweakin so bad for me rn
babies first manipulation😞
Tumblr media
Cold.
Mind numbing cold. Why was it so cold? Sure she was sensitive to temperatures, especially the cooler ones but why does it burn? Why does it sting and burn as if the frost along any exposed skin of her was slowing nibbling away at her flesh. Tiny flames being ignited throughout her nervous system. If she was so cold, why did it burn so badly? No, not just burns, it hurts. Everything ***hurts**.* *The fuck happened? Groundings, get your groundings.* A field. A gorgeous field nonetheless. Tall grass that was perfectly well grown and a healthy green blew with the warm autumn wind. The trees surrounding her almost seemed as if they were circling in, making them slightly claustrophobic as they shifted their weight to the other foot. The sun lowered in the sky as golden hour was upon her, the leaves, shrubs and grass emoting  a warm and gentle glow. It seemed surreal, akin to something of a fairy tail. Flowers grew throughout the field and into the forest as mushrooms grew up and along fallen trees. *Wern would love this place, I should tell them about it when I get home..* However, one of the most unnerving thing about the whole situation was the fact the white  flower right below her- daisy perhaps- leaves were tainted with splattered with blood. ***blood?***  A place so serene shouldn't be tainted with something so, so dirty. The smell, ***oh the smell***. Typically in such a woodland area the air should be crisp and clean, earthy, warm, with pollen from the flowers, sap from the trees, and a dewy and damp atmosphere towards the larger lake nearby. However for some strange reason it felt freezing. To the point it felt like she was burning. It wasn’t just that one poor daisy with drips of blood, it seemed every bit of greenery around her was doused in it, as if the murky red fell on a rainy day. The metallic and thick smell of it overpowered her poor nose as it wafted into her nostrils. *Guess I can cross nosebleed out.* Going against her willpower she decided to investigate around the woodland area. Her body screaming in protest, it felt like the bone in her right arm had snapped, like her eye had been poke out with a molten hot rod. Oozing with something, perhaps she was just teary from the smell, like when cutting an onion. Yeah, that’s why. Dragging her body across the field she heard a sickening crack only a few steps in. It would be assumed as a stick, and if not she could have easily ignored it if it weren’t for the sinking feeling in her stomach, chipping away at her resolve. Not only that, but her foot felt warm, warmer than usual, and-*It’s wet!* Pulling her foot out of the now assumed hole in the ——- she took a step back and squatted down to investigate.
Nothing could have ever prepared her for the sight she had to see, not even all that time trapped in the abyss. Moving aside the bloody grass as she fell to her knees. Her knees creating a splash as more blood splattered around, the puddle she kneeled in soaking into her bare feet as blood stained her skin once more. It was a body. Unnerving but so mangled she could hardly know who it was. It didn’t bother her that badly, just more work to do, but hey! she could fix this! right? Fully parting the long grass, flattening it with her left hand as she could hardly move the right due to pain and refused to look at how bad the damage on it would be. But hey, she knew this sword, she *knew* that medicine pack, and oh and those shoes! She knew that outfit and each freckle and scar, and..that face. She knew that face.
who is that..?
She tried to put her hand on the poor boy’s check but as soon as she looked at the stained fingers on the paling body’s cheek she wanted to cry.
not again. not here.
How could she have let this happen?! They wanted to find any body of water nearby; a puddle, a pond , anything reflective—but there was no point; she already knew how she looked if her hand was any hint to it.
Her right hand was covered in an reddish clear skin tone, a pure warped reflection, from sharpened fingertips to broken forearm as it slowly frayed out and up to her bulky shoulder, akin to something like food colouring in a water basin. As it splintered out and more patches of her normal skin peeked through, the veins there were infected with a mix of a dark navy blue. It seemed as if it was faintly glowing. It confirmed her suspicions, she knew what happened. If she closed her eyes she could see a fuzzy memory of a time when she first saw herself like this.
A smaller girl staring into a mirror. Back before she dyed her hair as messy and unkempt red locks framed her face. Her right eye was completely gone, in its place an alien-like mouth. A large, almost void looking hole patched onto her face as sharp teeth in strange tissue lined the strange mouth. However instead of a few sharp teeth here and there, two rows of large razor sharp teeth lined the inside of the entire inner mouth. Some ink- like substance skin to tar leaked from it and dropped down her face. Her left eye was red and puffy, she’d been without a doubt crying. Her right arm with the inky posion framed around it, but with no other skin being shown. It stopped and spread into the veins in her upper shoulder. Her arm was more muscular and her hand replaced with a large claw, razor sharp at the end. She couldn’t tell where her hand ended and nails began. Her mouth still had her normal sharper canine teeth being sharper than the others, but her teeth that were typically normal and flat were sharper; not the point of those on her eye. Er, past eye? She never really learned what it was did she.. there were two rips in her flesh, one on each cheek with more razor sharp teeth showing until it hit exposed muscle.
In her right arm was a small rabbit teddy, an older man crouched down behind her in the mirror with a heavy hand on her shoulder, reminding her of what must happen.
What she must do.
While some features had changed a bit as she got older, she knew how she looked for the majority of it. The largest difference that occurred from then to now would be her ears growing more *mangled*..and the rips at her cheeks being larger as her mouth grew.
Not too far away from where she sat kneeled to the ground laid a open journal. It must have been the body due to the fact the grass around it was slightly charred and it was sprayed in red.
Crawling over to it and taking it in her one good hand she inspected it closer. It had some unknown writings scribbled with doodles and various items pinned throughout the pages. Putting it in the large mouth on her stomach she knew it was safely with Pow Pow, Atlas would know what to do.
Wandering until she found a small pond she bent over and gently scooped some water in her palms, washing her face the best she could. It seemed as if the more she rubbed at her magngled face the more it just stained. She stared into the water, her complexion that of years younger as footsteps approached behind her— a heavy hand set on her shoulder and—.
*…*
She shot up with a gasp, curling in on herself and heaving for air, the small animated rabbit bumping against her arm on her knee as her face rested in it.
She’d bury that memory with him, it wouldn’t happen again. Dark yellow eyes with slitted irises glowed in the dark. She’d be sure of it.

the way you depict Kyle in off to the races is so fucking real. in fact, each character is so fucking real. i really struggle to find any cod fics/series that really get into the other characters whilst fleshing out the main romance. this feels like i am fully reading a book. it feels like this should be an extension of the actual mw2 gameplay. i understand writers focusing on their ships in series but heavens the way you write and describe what's going on around the characters, then delve into their inner thoughts and feelings. it makes me dizzy.
as a dizzy woman, if i may be so bold, i'd really love to know how you flesh out your characters. lily feels like a friend? its not something ive experienced in fic writing before. like i said, reading off to the races is basically like reading a book!!!!!!!
also, being even BOLDER! any spoilers?
Thank you, Thank you!!
You may be so bold my love, Lily is quite honestly an extension of myself. This may seem totally narcissistic and indulgent (and it is) but I tend to find basing characters off of real-life experience makes things easier to write out, especially when dealing with such out-of-the-ordinary circumstances, I kinda just ask myself, wtf would I do? I am so glad you see Lily as a friend because she should be! She's guiding you through this story so knowing that her character is approachable to the reader makes me so darn happy.
In concern to the boys, my fear in writing cod fiction is that each member of the team is so heavily cornered into their own box that everyone expects them to be written a certain way. In all honesty, it's very hard to navigate them whilst also maintaining some semblance of originality. The only two that come easy are Price and Kyle. My Price is a lot more indulgent, toeing the line between stern captain and concerned protector is difficult but it helps that Lily is such a strong personality that she naturally draws reactions from him.
Kyle I tried to completely flip the script, knowing that from what I've read usually, Soap is usually the guy that befriends the OC, I was very much obliged to shake things up. The whole Kyle being an outcast came very easy as from cod gameplay and my general musings, he does seem to live in John's shadow whilst Simon and Johnny are very pally-pally (fucking obviously).
The hardest to write for is bloody Soap, I am trying to flesh him out more in my WIP chapters but my god, it's very hard to keep to the peppy, cheeky Scott whilst also being somewhat unique from what everyone else has written.
Simon I find neither here nor there, again along the same lines of Soap, he is very widely written about and cliched as a moody dick WHICH happens to just about line up with every COD gameplay ever so, it's hard to deviate without good reason. What I've tried to do is give him motive, I feel this somewhat compensates for his usual crappy demeanour. Also have tried to hint at some underlying feelings toward certain members of the team which also serve as motives for his actions so, in short, MOTIVE!
Sorry this is so long!! I know I take ages to update and what not but I hope this somewhat goes toward explaining a little about why it does take so long, I REALLY DO DEEP THESE THINGS. I know its a silly little fic but I want it to mesh and have deeper meanings, why write something when it has no substance? I try and embellish this as if I was writing a book because that's what feels good to me, so yeah, I suppose I look at the characters as an ecosystem instead of individual animals.
ON SPOILERS.
I will be cheeky and give you some general, random words.
Ring, cosset, armrest and honeymoon.
LOVE YOU BYE
