Name Origins Tag!

Name Origins Tag! ✨️

Thank you for the tag @the-golden-comet! And thanks for starting this @pixies-love-envy! This one is juicy to me.

Premise: How did you come up with your OC's names/What are they based on?

Seeker🌠:

Seeker was originally a DND character, and a homebrew race I played around with had very long names that represented the individual somehow. The-Stars-In-Their-Eyes-Seek-The-Spirit-Of-The-Cosmos felt like a reflection of the hopeful diplomat yearning to connect with people across the universe.

Edit: They start using 'Seeker' after finding out sentence-long names are unusual to 'surface people'.

Klaus🌻:

Upcycled from an old OC named Nikoli, now Niklaus. He needed a name that fit his suave gentlemanly air.

Kazimier💋:

Out of story: I wanted there to be a z in the name for whatever reason, and I wanted it to sound good when said in a New Yorkish accent.

In Story: He's not sure what his parents named him, but as a kid he had this Cashmere sweater that acted as his safety blanket and eventually 'brat in the Cashmere sweater' became 'hey Cashmere'. He decided on the spelling when he learned to read/write.

Valian🐁:

Looking for regular words that could be tweaked to make a name. The word 'Valiant' was chosen to contrast the selfish criminal, just dropped the 't'. This has extended to his lore where he was named Valiant by the orphanage and started going by Valian/Val as an adult.

Moodboard Gift for @lychhiker-writes! 💖

Lych has been so kind as to Beta-Read for 🌐7 Circles🌐 and I wanted to make a thank-you gift pertaining to his work:

But seriously, I love my beta readers so much❤️‍🔥 If you continuously show interest in my story or my OCs you may very well end up with me creating something for you (this is a threat). 😈

Lych, your thoughtfully made comments on my draft have given me a lot of insight and motivation 🙏💕 and I'm so happy to be reading through your WIP as well! (Which you can check out 👉HERE👈, btw.) Thanks bud.

Stealing the TNDA taglist (mwahahaa!):

(I own none of the pictures, I simply edited and arranged them)

OH NO, OH NO THANKS, THANKS IM GOOD ACTUALLY

Ya know.. I think in this life, wet is what you make it.💦

You can understand water as wet. You can see wetness as something water makes- hell, YOU can be wet if you want to be (😏)!

Life is like a box of water, you never know what's gonna get wet 💧✨️

Are pirates just wet cowboys? Why or why not?

😂

As someone who has both a pirate captain OC AND a cowboy OC, let’s analyze:

For starters, they both have a steed/ride. The ship and the horse can both be told: “Whoa. Easy girl.” Pirates and cowboys have also both wrangled their own captives to turn them in for bounty/loot. Cowboys also are trying to earn enough gold ingots and bars to purchase whatever they want, just like a pirate tries to plunder for lots of wealth. They both have guns, and aren’t afraid of shooting them.

Cowboys and pirates can work for a government official for the correct amount of coin, though I believe a key difference is the inherent trust the public eye has for one or the other (unless the cowboy is an outlaw). When the saloon hears there’s a cowboy in town, they are leery but otherwise hear him out. A pirate, on the other hand, always brings the connotation of a criminal, and people are automatically distrusting and even scared to run into them.

So, depending on the reputation, pirates can be wet cowboys. But more often than not, people aren’t as willing to trust a pirate over a cowboy.

Thank you for this ask! I got quite a chuckle out of it 🤠🏴‍☠️💛✨

Now, YOUR question: Is water wet, or does it just make things wet? 🤔💧💫

Find The Word Tag✨️

Thanks for the tags @the-golden-comet @fortunatetragedy and @lychhiker-writes, I'm gonna pick and choose since there are so many words lol But I got some 🌶️spicy🌶️ lines with the ones I picked.

My Words: Ate, friendly, jest, ardent, conscious, building, hook, excuse, drown, fidget, gape, choice Your Words: Snarl, Hope, Tension, Sink

Color-coded for what character the clip is talking about: Kazimier💋, Klaus🌻, Seeker🌠, Valian🐁 from 🌐7 Circles🌐 ------------------

Ate: They ask over their shoulder, not sure what ifrits ate- or even what a third of the food stocked was precisely."I'll eat anything, me," Val says, hopping to his feet and heading to the fridge.

Friendly: The end product created a friendly, but rather mysterious picture of ‘The Ambassador from beyond the sky', as they took to calling the Kalilith on multiple media fronts.

Ardent: Kazimier raises a brow at the position, half expecting his meal to get on hands and knees. That means the rise in submissiveness, that ardent plea, those were for..

Conscious: Seeker pulls the blanket higher, shivering and covering their chest self-consciously, scandalized at their current state.

Hook: Kazimier hooks a few fingers around the collar, as if trying to give himself more room to breathe, and tips his head back, horns scraping the wall. Excuse: "If that ever comes to pass, you must find whoever you sell me to and tell me how you managed to explain away your involvement, Father," Klaus replies, baring his own fangs in what most people would mistake for a smile. "I'd love to see what excuse you feed to the Sovereign Executive for how I escaped your notice for such a long time."

Fidget: Their upper right hand fidgets in their lap, the east palm longing to reach out and hold Val's thin green fingers for reassurance.

Choice: His choice hadn't been made out of some misguided attempt to dodge his own complicity. How could it be? He's using Kazimier as a sacrifice..

Last Line Tag! ✨️

Tagged by @the-golden-comet @lychhiker-writes Still rewriting some Seeker Chapters, but I'm happy with the results so far!

🌐7 Circles🌐 Ch 4: You're Very Welcome

By the time Seeker reconvenes with Duke Vayne, over an hour has passed and they're feeling leagues better. Their skin was washed and moisturized, their hair meticulously cleaned, dried, and re-braided. They even allowed themself a small emotional breakdown in the shower before returning to their role of poised diplomat.
