OC Deep Dive Tag

OC Deep Dive Tag

Thanks for the tag, @mysticstarlightduck! Going with Seraphina from Asteria Heights!

Playlist (tbh I don't really do these. So I'm kinda just listing whatever comes to mind lmao):

The Vampire Masquerade by Peter Gundry

The Weirdos Waltz by Peter Gundry

Waltz of Memories by Pierre-Alexandre Monin

Rich Girl by Gwen Stefani

Fabulous from High School Musical 2

Summary of Vibes:

If Sharpay Evans was a greedy, old-money nightmare wrapped in an immortal 12-year-old's body

But also if she was dressed like a Victorian porcelain doll

Resident information broker and deal-maker. Anything you want, and anything you want to know, all available for a price.

A witch AND a vampire. Because the rich keep winning apparently

The center of several urban legends both in and outside of her community

biggest debate in town: Is She Actually Twelve, Or is it Just Vampirism (being half makes the aging rate wonky)

second-biggest debate: How the Fuck Does She Know These Things

honestly, I'd give her and her family more flak for being so wealthy... but imagine being part of a race that can live for centuries and still being unable to build some savings? Like just walk into the sun at that point?

It's "self-made wealth" when you tricked the IRS into thinking you were 6 different descendants of yourself the past few decades as you continue to make investments and trade deals and buy out your competitors... allegedly

CEO of creepy ass smiles and the Customer Service Voice

Incorrect Quotes Tag

Thanks for the tag, @mysticstarlightduck! Gonna give this one to Asteria Heights, lol.

Aven: Do you ever feel like exploding? Have you experienced the urge to enter the process of combustion? Has your mind created a logical idea, known as thought, to disperse your body into thousands of particles suddenly? Nina: It’s 3 am, please go back to sleep.

Kai: What's worse than heartbreak? Nina: Waking up in the morning and your phone wasn't charging. Meg: Waking up in the morning. Aven: Waking up.

Meg: When I met you I thought you were a real bitch. Aven: What changed your mind? Meg: Oh, I still think you’re a bitch, I’ve just grown to like that about you.

Aven: I didn't drink that much last night. Meg: You were flirting with Nina. Aven: So what? She's my girlfriend. Meg: You asked if she was single. Meg: And then you cried when she said she wasn't.

Aine: Dammit, you ruin everything! Meg: You're welcome.

Townsperson: talking about Aine’s funeral You do know we’re burying a great person today! Meg, shocked: Did someone else die?

Guess the OC Tag!

Okay so I had this tag game idea and I don't know if it has been made before so here we go!

Rules: Make a list of facts about a certain OC but don't name them in it, then make a poll with your OCs from that WIP so people can vote and guess which character you're talking about!

Make a guess:

....this character once has killed more than 50 people in a single event

....this character has control over both destruction/decomposition and creation/recomposition

....this character was once an idealist but then was forced to watch someone he loved dearly be driven insane in one of themost brutal ways possible

....this character hates the taste of strawberry candy and his favorite desserts are chocolate eclairs

....this character has escaped from a high security prison multiple times and his powers grow even faster in isolation

....this character had a change of heart after making friends for the first time in years

....this character has died and been brought to life, as well as pulled apart and stitched back together at least three times in his past

....this character cannot sleep in complete darkness

....this character doesn't know how to use a microwave

....this character drives a black (and bulletproof) sports hovercar

....this character is afraid of moths

....this character has cut off the head of one of his enemies and mailed it as a christmas "gift" to said enemy's spouse

Let me know if you'd like to be added!

I feel like there’s needs to be, like, handbook for authors who post on Ao3 for effective metatext.

By metatext I mean like tagging, summary, and authors notes (especially initial authors notes at the beginning of a fic). The means by which we communicate to our readers what they’re getting into.

Because we kind of all have to learn it by osmosis and there are conventions but nobody’s really taught them at the start, so there’s inconsistencies and misunderstandings or people just not knowing things through no fault of their own.

This ends up breeding frustration and confusion and in the worst cases resentment, hurt, and aggression.

I’m severely tempted to make such a handbook and get it circulating.

I think it would do fandom a lot of good.

Find Five Lines

Late thanks to @kaylinalexanderbooks for the tag! This is kind of a cheat, since a lot of these need context around them so they're longer than 1 line, lmao. But whatever!

Rules: Find 5 lines that fit the prompts, then change 1 for whoever you tag

A line with movement

Glancing at the clock, she had about 5 minutes before it was time to eat, and it took about 10 to get there from her room. That plus how long it’d take to buy food… she’d have run if it wouldn’t have exerted too much energy. As it was, she moved at a respectable speed-walking pace.

A line with fear

Her breathing turned quick and shallow, and she fought to regulate it. She lost that battle once her opponent had made their appearance.

A funny line

The scream building in Iris’ chest was taking everything in her power to hold back. “Luna. Did you. Attack. The crown. Prince.”

A line with color

“You seem… familiar.” Ah, shit. Was he gonna sue?! Before she could cook up a proper lie, his eyes widened in recognition. “Blueberry.” “Huh?” “You’re the blueberry-haired girl. The little demon from the fountain.” If she wasn’t afraid of getting kicked out of the library or even hanged, she’d have screeched at that. Blueberry?! Her hair was cobalt! Cobalt! Maybe even cornflower in certain lighting! “Fuck you,” was out of her mouth before she had the sense to shut up.

A line you've changed a lot

The naginata had yet to forsake her, and so it would be at her side as she stood before the doors of death.

For you: A line with movement, a line with fear, a funny line, a line with color, and a line you LOVE
