Hmmm Number 3 On The OC Asks List- Im Kinda Curious

Hmmm… Number 3 on the OC Asks list- I’m kinda curious 👀

What is your OC's financial status? Are they just scraping by, making enough to live comfortably, or wealthy? Has there ever been a drastic change in their status? If so, what happened?

Ah, this question. As we are just facets of Riley, his finances are technically ours as well. 👔

Yeah, and it’s not a lot. Riley is technically below the poverty line. Literally the minimum wage rate of $12 an hour would be better than what he gets each month from SSI. And that makes me work overtime because I have to make sure he’s aware of that fact and not to get complacent because it’s where he’s at right now. It could always get worse. 🐼

Don’t mind the reblogs that’ll be happening- we’re just giving ask ideas if anyone wants to get to know us more! 💚

Questions about two of your original characters about their relationship. Should work for friends/lovers/coworkers/enemies/etc, maybe not so much for family, but you're welcome to try!

How did they meet?

How long have these two characters known each other?

What were their first impressions of each other? How does that compare to their impressions of each other now?

How would they describe each other if asked? Physically? In personality?

Do they get along? Why or why not?

Do they have any shared interests/hobbies? Do they ever do these hobbies together?

How often do they see each other? Where do they usually meet?

How do they communicate with each other? Are there any recurring phrases or gestures unique to their relationship?

What is one quality they have in common?

What is one major difference between them?

Does one act as a narrative foil to the other? How so?

Do they have any affection for each other? How do they show it?

Do they have any disdain/contempt for each other? How do they show it?

Do they share the same goals in life?

Do they trust each other? Why or why not?

Is one of them keeping secrets from the other? Why? How would they react if the secret was revealed?

Are they keeping a secret together? How do they feel about that?

Do they view their relationship as temporary or permanent?

Are they satisfied with their relationship? Do they wish they were closer/more distant?

What is their best memory together?

What is their worst memory together?

When were they the most vulnerable with each other?

Do they have any mutual friends? Mutual enemies?

How do these two interact with each other in public versus in private?

If a stranger saw them together, how would they describe their relationship?

How would these characters react to being stuck in a small room with each other?

How far would they go for each other? Would they risk their own lives for each other?

[The Sides are riding in the car on the way to the procedure. Beckett is pulling his hood down and groaning, Lev is perched on the glove box humming to himself, Flint is reading a book and Reese is glancing at Beckett worriedly.]

I’m not sure what would make you feel better right now.

Not going. Not going would be awesome.

B-but we already paid for this- or Riley’s parents did. It would be very difficult to go back on this now.

Ugh, don’t remind me!

[Lev frowns.]

Beck, I’m scared too, but we’re all going to be there for him. It’ll be okay and soon enough recovery will happen and it’ll be normal again.

I guess… I’m done talking about it. Let’s just see if we get any asks for the blog.

[The Sides are sitting on the couch in the mindscape, each having different reactions. Beckett paces, muttering under his breath. Lev watches worriedly as he sits with Flint. Flint is typing on a laptop. Reese speaks up, looking at Beckett.]

What is it? 🌹

It’s everything, everything is a mess! 🐼

[Flint looks up.]

“Everything” can’t be wrong. There must be a more specific cause of concern, Beckett. 👔

I’m just really scared. 🐼

It’s okay, let’s just see if anyone leaves us any asks to get your mind off it. 💚

So, the four of us have been thinking about it, and we realized it might be more interesting for our viewers if we had more of a… presence than we do simply through text. 👔

Yeah, what Flint said. So, we’re joining TikTok- Reese’s idea, shocker- and hopefully Riley’s family doesn’t find us on there because things could get dicey really fast if that happens. 🐼

I know you’re scared, Beck, but we’ll all be in it together. It’s a change, but changes are good and don’t always mean the worst. Besides, we don’t have to share Riley’s- and our- faces if it lessens the risk. We can talk in videos, or film things away from our faces. 🌹

Precisely good ideas, but may I provide another perspective? If you fear Riley being exposed to people he knows “IRL”, why make an account in the first place? Surely it would be better to stay totally anonymous here on this blog if that is the concern. 👔

Well… 🐼

Now, now, let’s find some help to resolve this. We can just ask the Tumblr! 💚

“The” Tumblr? I don’t even- 🐼

It wouldn’t be a terrible idea, to ask our followers and anons what they would do. 🌹

[Beckett groans, rolling his eyes.]

Fine, but I still think it’s bad. 🐼

I think we all support asexuals and we are all ace, and I REALLY like capes.
