Thanks For The Tag!

Thanks for the tag!

Last Song:

Hot To Go-Chappel Roan. Everyone’s calling it the YMCA for lesbians, but I’m aro ace and out here vibing to it ^^ I wish I could animate a short of Ariel and Solana doing the dance o^o

Favorite Color:

Neon white

Currently Watching:

Nothing at the moment. I’m just waiting for the next Helluva Boss episode to come out ^_^ After Full Moon, I lost all interest in Stolitz, and it’s gonna take a hell of a comeback for me to like it again…Blitzø was such a jerk.

Sweet, Savory, or Spicy?

I have a huge sweet tooth, so there’s your answer. I love Italian desserts, especially stracciatella gelato and cannolis, though I can also be swayed by Japanese sweets. I will never say no to yukimi daifuku ^_^

Last Thing I Googled:

Starry sky. I decided that I wanted the Underworld to look like an eternal summer night, in Night Of The Blue Moon. The tranquility of an endless summer night, where the departed rest with their loved ones is juxtaposed with the fact that it’s the scene of Blue Moon and Red Sun’s final showdown against Orpheus.

Favorite Season:

Spring

A Skill I’d Like To Learn:

I’m currently learning to crochet. I’m in the process of making a blanket with this pretty pastel rainbow yarn I found ^^

Best Advice:

Listen to your gut. If you have a bad feeling about something, you’re probably right.

Tagging @the-golden-comet and @gioiaalbanoart!

Get to know the Writer Tag Game!

Thank you to @fleurtygurl for the tag, sorry it's taking me so long to get to it!

Last Song

Too Sweet by Hozier (look it's a bop, and helps me with writing inspiration, and my music I listen to is constantly changing)

Favourite Colour

It changes frequently but is usually within the range of blue and purple hues (sometimes it's an orange or yellow, and I do really adore certain greens).

Currently Watching

Ahh, this is perpetually changing but here's the shows I'm currently on: Supernatural, The Boys, Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, One Piece, Doctor Who... and I've been rewatching House a bit, plus just finished Dungeon Meshi!

Sweet, Savoury, or Spicy?

Again this changes a bit, depends what I'm craving. Often I'll have a savoury craving, or want to mix salty and sweet (I adore salted caramel tim tams). I can't really do spicy much, but I do have a chipotle mayo I cannot resist adding to bacon sandwiches (it tastes so good especially if it's a blt).

Current Obsession

Dungeon Meshi, I got a glass cup recently when I went to Kaiga Convention with the characters on it and it brings me so much joy. The seller was Ratpowers if you wanted to know, his art is great so I definitely recommend checking him out!

Last thing I Googled

For a story? I think eye surgery, specifically taking out an eyeball... no wait it was bird eyes. In general? I just googled if tim tams was one word or two for this post.

Favourite Season

I desperately want to say Autumn but let's be real outside the aesthetic and colour palette I'm actually a Summer girl. Although, coming from the tropics of Darwin (Northern Territory, Australia) I grew up with the seasons simply being Wet Season or Dry Season and in that respect I love me the Wet Season!

A skill I'd like to learn

Ballroom dancing, more specifically I want to learn how to do a simple waltz. My partner has agreed when we're engaged and planning our wedding (hopefully in the not too distant future) that he'll go with me to lessons!

Best Advice

As hard as it is, try to look on the bright side. Seek out that silver lining, and really grab onto the good things in your life. It's a struggle but it'll help. Sometimes I struggle with this myself but trying is half the battle and I believe in you!

Gently no-pressure tagging: @keysandopenmind, @kelefox, @chauceryfairytales, @alwri-tes, and any one else that might want to do it!

pls rb if you think cuddling doesn't have to be s3xual

im tryna prove a point to my bf's mother help me out

Hi @alinacapellabooks ! I’d like to ask you some questions from the ask game! ✨

🐠 author who inspires you

🍰 where you like to write

Hope you have a great day! 💫

Thanks for the asks! I would say that my writing style was heavily inspired by that T.J. Klune, (Who is, by the way, one of my favorite authors), and also Ai Yazawa. Nana is one of my all-time favorite manga, and it was actually the key inspiration for The Tengu And The Angel. I knew that I wanted to write a realistic story about two strangers becoming roommates, and the lifelong connection formed between them, but unlike Nana, I wanted it to have a happy ending, so I thought, why not make it a romance? I also took inspiration from the works of Kunio Yanagita and Ryunosuke Akutagawa (And yes, that is where the names of Kunio and his grandfather, Ryunosuke came from) to build the mythological elements of the story.

As for where I like to write….Sorry to disappoint, but this has a far less glamorous answer. I do most of my writing on the couch, or sometimes cross-legged on the floor surrounded by empty instant ramen cups. It’s weird, but sitting on the floor helps me focus better ^o^

Hope you’re having a great day too ^_^

This seems fun! Somehow I got mentioned in this, even though my name didn’t appear in the post. Alright, let’s bring Ariel up to answer your questions!

1.) What is the best memory you can think of?

…Classified information. It is a secret that must remain between myself and my girlfriend, because if anyone else found out, they’d know who we are. We’re very high profile celebrities, and our names can never be released to the public.

2.) What are your thoughts on libraries?

Libraries are valuable resources for students, as well as the poor and unemployed. Since I am none of those three things, and I don’t care much for books, I have no need to ever visit a library. 3.) If I gave you an unlimited travel pass to go somewhere, where would you go?

New Orleans. My best friend lives there, but I’ve only seen him in person twice, on account of the fact that I live in Winchester in the UK. I’d love to be able to see him whenever I want, and introduce him to my girlfriend, Solana.

Bonus:

If the chicken and the egg were to somehow co-exist, which would come first?

…I’ll get Phoebe to ask Gaia. That’s a question only the mother of all life on Earth could know the answer to.

Tagging @the-golden-comet @madi-konrad + leaving this open!

My questions for your OCs are:

1.) Who is the worst person you’ve ever known?

2.) Have you ever killed anyone? If so, who, and why?

3.) If you could have any one item in the world right now, for free, what would you choose, and why?

OC questionnaire tag:

Hey @wyked-ao3, thanks for the tag! Ok, so initially, it's supposed to be I'm supposed to answer with one OCs, but instead, I'm going to answer this with Lucie and Valerie's perspectives and see how it goes. Perhaps a Dual/Multi OC questionnaire could happen with this, while we also see the potential relationship these two characters could have...? 🙃

Before I begin, I'll tag: @rinatthemin , @phynewrites , @bookish-karina and I'll also put this as an open tag, for whoever is interested in doing this too!

Now, on the questions below the cut!

What is your opinion of mythology?

Lucie: "They're scary...! I mean, haven't you heard of those stories where the Spirit Dragon apparently goes and wrecks the whole world...?"

Valerie: "Err, no?" But she lets out a laugh as she goes and "You should really say that to my brother, he will state every single reason on why that is wrong." She goes and shakes her head, as a light-hearted smile curves her face. "Not interested in it, maybe to the point I hear it on the occasion, by him saying stuff about the powers of light and dark are supposed to join with Spirit and what not, but for him to say that it's real...!? I mean, come on Braedon...!"

L: "For it to be real..." She starts to tremble. "That's the last thing I hope would happen."

Do you get sea sick?

Valerie: "Oh wow... You're making me think of something. Like Uncle Maggie used to always take me out to practice rowing when we were younger. Even when there were times where my uncle had duties with the throne and those sorts of things, he would always take me out on practicing how to row at least once a week." She goes and taps the side of her chair as her left ear droops down, "But nowadays, he hasn't really been doing it as much anymore."

Lucie: How lucky...! I never went on a boat. Well, except a few times, but I don't really remember feeling sick or anything... So I guess no?

If you could live anywhere, where would you pick?

Lucie: I'd go to where Pyrocast is! I think they also called it Volcanica or the fire castle! For some reason, I can't help but want to go there. And, I mean, I nearly did...!" She glances away from the "But, I don't think I'll be able to go back there again..." Valerie stares towards Lucie as her brow raise and the corner of her mouth tenses. She swings her arm outwards.

Valerie: Well, I can't complain about Pyrocast, and Blazica as a whole, they have lots of cool things like steam trains and snow and fireworks...! But I mean, come on, if it is anywhere I could go, I would definitely not go and reside at Seafall! I mean, it's nice there but the Queen there has a BIG attitude problem. Like yeah, I may have paraded around, and it look like I was nearly going to eat the fishes while also causing a bit of an explosion at the Queen's place, but..."

L: "You would do that in front of a Queen...!?"

V: "Hey...! Don't judge! She has a problem!" Valerie lets out a low breath, when she gives a smile, "I would love to see how Gustinflew is like, but I also heard that the ruler of Aeromount doesn't really like when the boats are on their shores, and apparently confiscates those boats. So, it's a shame. Maybe Alalingamor would be a close second. Yeah, it either gets extremely hot or cold depending on the day, but you have all of those festivals at night, you've got great guests, and what more can you ask for?

The next questions are:

What is the best memory you can think of?

What is your thoughts on libraries?

If I give you an unlimited travel pass to go somewhere, where would you go? (This can be on a boat, train, horse, any thing you can imagine.)

BONUS: If the chicken and the egg were to somehow co-exist, which would come first?

Happy characters are boring! *Empties an entire bag of trauma into my OC mixing bowl*

The recipe for my OCs goes as follows:

1 cup of backstory (I prefer tragic, but any kind works)

1 cup of personality traits

A pinch of hobbies and/or interests I personally think are cool

I'm curious--how do you guys go about creating your OCs?
