Hello! This Is Your Monthly Positivity Mail :)

Hello! This is your monthly positivity mail :)

Did you have a fun April Fools'? I hope your month is full of happiness and nice surprises. Remember that you deserve to treat yourself, and have a nice month!

Thank you so much for this!!!! 💕 I was in dire need of some positivity this month, things have been very chaotic for me and my health wasn't doing me any favors, so I'm thankful for this ask and I'm happy to be able to be more active here on tumblr again!

5 lines tag game!

thank you for the tag @tabswrites!! <3

tagging @dyrewrites @mysticstarlightduck @poethill and an open tag if anyone wants to join!

your lines are: a line about clothes, a funny line, a sweet line (love or flavor, take your pick), a line with fighting (physical or otherwise), and a line you're proud of

A line with food:

“I made herb-roasted lamb last night,” Anya says. “Imagine my disappointment when you weren’t there to tell me how talented I am.”

I grin at her sheepishly. “Liam ate well, then?”

Her eyes soften at the mention of her son. “Liam has refused to eat anything except cheesy pasta for the past three days. Stubborn as a bull, that one.”

“He gets it from his mother.”

A line with temperature:

I let out a wisp of power in the form of a light breeze, brushing the hair off of Rose's neck.

She tilts her had back, lips slightly parted. It's not horribly warm, but her skin is flush with sweat from sitting underneath the morning sun. "Thank you," she murmurs. Then louder, "Do you think—"

"No."

A line with fear:

Uriel, as if sensing my resignation, says, “Have you learned now, prince of rot?”

The animal that I am, feral and desperate, cries out, “Please. Please.”

Uriel laughs.

Elias has stopped screaming. The flames have reached his chest, creeping up towards his collarbones. His own chains rattle against the walls as he trembles. His eyes are open now. He’s staring at me like I might save him.

A funny line:

Marcella reads the confession, either on my face or from my thoughts, and grins. “How’s your girl doing?”

“She’s not my—” An incredulous glare. “She’s fine. I’m assuming that the Glades was your idea?”

“Assume that every good idea is my idea.”

A line with color:

I hoard every detail, cataloging what the different colors of his eyes mean: pale-gray when he’s nervous, cornflower blue when he’s amused, navy when he’s passionate— or seriously pissed.

He pushes the headphones off of one ear and shoots me a boyish grin, his eyes the color of the morning sky. “Do you have more?”

Character Voice Tag!

Thanks for the tag @willtheweaver (here)!!! I'll go with the main cast from Of Starlight and Beasts for this one (:

MY LINE WAS: Yeah, I deserved that.

YOUR LINE IS: I don't know what I was expecting but I'm disappointed in your decision either way - because what the heck was that?

Corah - "Well, one thing's for sure: that wasn't undeserved - I really should've seen it coming, that's on me."

Arammys - "Oh Gods, that went so wrong - I deserve what happened, that was a terrible idea, and I take full responsibility for it but still... that was such a bad plan, oh Gods."

Eidan - "I should've known that this would be the outcome but I was too hasty to notice. I deserve to face the consequences for my actions."

Nimwen - "Sorry, sorry, sorry! Oh, goodness, oh Gods that went so wrong so fast. If someone is to blame for what happened that person is me, but I still should've been more careful. I'm so sorry!"

Tomasa - "Yep, no use running from the inevitable. Time to face the outcome of my poorly planned decisions. Lay it all out for me, and don't be shy. I'm a tough cookie."

Masen - "Fuck. Yeah, I'm not sticking around to find out what that's gonna cause, sorry not sorry. So, no hard feelings whatsoever guys, but I've gotta bounce. See y'all around? (winks)"

Kyran - "Oh. That... isn't ideal. Okay. Okay, okay, I can handle this, I should've seen this coming after all. I hope I can handle this. So...here's what we're going to do: we're getting the fuck out of here, right now. Because I don't deserve whatever they've got in store for me. Does anyone have explosive powder? I think can improvise a plan."

Maryon - "That was well deserved, I will admit. I made a mistake and it caught to up to me. I guess it is only fair I face whatever comes next - running will only drag things out. It's best to just get it over with., like ripping out an old bandage"

Florynce - "(In a drawn out, wispy voice) Somethings gone wrong. (squeaks) Somethings not as it should be and it's not right and it's my fault. Should I stay and face my fate? Is it what would be proper? (gives a little vampiric squeak, clearly starting to panic) I don't know what to do anymore"

Rin - "Hells no I'm not facing the consequences of that. (pats the person next to him in the back) Sorry pal, this was nice while it lasted, but you know what they say - survival of the fittest, and all that. Oh and be a darling: do tell the guards I said hi, I'm sure you'll have lots to talk about if you still have your head after this. Don't be a stranger! (flies away)"

Elias - "Oh, sink me! (groans, exasperated) I told you this was a bad idea, but who the fuck listens to me in this fucking shithole, eh?! Where the hells is my cutlass?! I'm going to fix this mess - one you should've fixed yourselves but never fucking mind that - properly this time. That's what I get for listening to you bufoons. I deserve this one. Lesson damn well learned."

Leora - "This was the worst idea I've ever had and the execution of this plan made it even more atrocious. I admit my wrongdoing and sincerely apologize. These circumstances are to be expected after what I did - and what terrible leader would I be if I didn't admit my own mistakes. Tell me what I can do to fix this, and consider it done."

Bastien - "My actions were suboptimal and their consequences deplorable. I accept full reponsibility for whatever trouble my actions may have cause and am willing to atone for it fully, whatever your verdict should be it will have been deserved."

Scarlet - "Shit. Okay, yeah. That one is on me - I screwed up big time, I really did. That seriously didn't go the way I thought it would, I don't know why I'm still surprised."

Nine People To Get to Know Tag

Thank you so much for the tag, @willtheweaver! I did a few of this a long while ago, so I think it's time to do it again (:

Last song I listened to: Blood Upon the Snow - Hozier ft. Bear Mccreary

Favorite color: Most shades of purple and lilac! I also like turquoise (:

Currently watching: Critical Role (the first campaign) and I'm also rewatching The Dragon Prince yet again!

Sweet/spicy/savory: I really like both savory and sweet (though I really need to be careful with refined sugar because of health issues).

Current obsession: Getting ready for a new DnD campaign with my friends, starting my current WIPs, and drawing digitally

Last thing I googled: Most of my latest Google searches were thesaurus synonyms for certain words while writing; my attempts to refresh my knowledge of DnD rules; and my endless search of songs on YouTube to write to

Favorite season: WINTER and autumn.

Skill I’d like to learn: crocheting (I already know how to sew, but never had the time to learn crocheting before and would really like to)

Best advice: My best advice would be to not take everything so seriously and to truly allow yourself to learn from your mistakes constructively and healthily- being stressed out while trying to be perfect all the time not only is a very, very unpleasant feeling altogether (and extremely detrimental to your overall health) but is also a waste of the time you could be spending truly living your own life. I had to learn this the hard way when my health caught up to my stress levels. So in short: take care of yourself, have fun, and know that things will get better! Enjoy your life to the fullest, and don't take things for granted 💜

Personality Through Quotes

Thanks for the tag @kaylinalexanderbooks!!! (here)

MY QUOTE IS: A quote about a weird habit they/someone else has.

YOUR QUOTE IS: A quote about your character's feelings about their world's government

Corah - "Hmm. Sometimes I tend to wake up in the middle of the night to stare at the stars. I don't know why, but it's very calming. I like to count out all the constellation Dad has taught me about and the tales about each one, and then I try to make up new ones until the stories get more and more chaotic and outlandish with each new one and then I go back to sleep."

Arammys - "I would say my weird habit is that, from time to time, I try making up stories in my mind, to replace the memories I don't have, and its come to the point that that habit's more like an intrusive thought rather than anything else and it concerns me. Like, I'll see someone on the street and immediatelly start imagining a whole backstory for how we might've met before and how they're my former best friend turned rival turned acquaintance - and the next thing I know I forgot what I was doing - But I'm normal, right? That's totally normal, right?"

Eidan - "I collect stuff! Genuinely. There's no real pattern to it and I don't really remember why I started. It's not an obsession or anything, just a hobby to distract me from stuff that might upset me. I'll just be walking down the riverbed and be like 'ooh that's a neat shell' and pick it up and add it to The Collection. I'll walk through the market and see a silk ribbon necklace on sale and I'll buy it and guess what, add it to The Collection. Anything that really stands out to me in some way makes it to my collection - but I have to really, really like the thing in order for it to be chosen. My collection of assorted knick knacks is as random as it is carefully curated. (smiles, actually proud of his collection)"

Nimwen - "Oh, neat! Not my weird habit, but my brother's - when he is upset he starts counting in Syllen, which is a local dialect from the city where we were born which nobody - except scholars and really really specific groups of people - really uses anymore. He also worries a lot and used to talk in his sleep - not anything concerning, just gibberish, but enough to wake me up every five minutes until I got used to it."

Rin - "People say I'm weird because I eat bugs and rodents. I don't think that's weird - they don't think it's weird for birds to eat those things, and my species is basically just a humanoid bird (okay, I'm an avian fey to be precise). Insects and rodents are a natural part of my diet, and people are the ones who need to stop being so sensitive to everything I do. Hey, is that a cricket?"

Tomasa - "Oh, my turn, my turn! I like to sing at the top of my lungs while bathing, even if I am admiteddly a bit off key I am having fun. I also like to go to taverns where no one knows anything about me and try to challenge the biggest dude in the place to a drinking contest! The look on their faces when I win is always priceless."

Masen - "Does using the bardic talents I hoped to one day be famous for to steal from my audience because I've had to become a thief instead count as a weird habit? That's not a rhetoric question, does it? I really wanna know, dude!"

Kyran - "I'm not really the kind of person who has 'weird habits', but if you really want to know... some of my inventions aren't exactly that legal, and they do have a tendency to... explode? But only on occasion, and sometimes to my favor, but you didn't hear it from me and you don't have any proof to tell anyone you heard this."

Maryon - "I like climbing to the roof of the towers of the castles - it's a beautiful and breathtaking view. I can see my whole city from there, covered in beautiful snow and blue ice, and the mountains of Tirawen are a small dot on the horizon. Occasionally, I'll see the outline of a dragon flying in the distance! I don't think it's a 'weird' habit, but it is certainly a risky one. I sometimes do this for fun, other times to escape from my duties when I want some peace and quite, haha"

Florynce - "I talk to the trees - and they whisper back at me! So do the flowers and the rocks and the rivers and the birds, and all of the forest! It says my blood runs through it."

Leora - "Don't tell anyone, or my reputation as the fearless underground leader might be at risk. But I still have my childhood plush toy and I can only sleep if I have it on my bed. It brings me comfort in a way little else does."

Elias - "Ooh, I have one hell of a list of weird quirks curated and stored straight from my brothers' childhood - Masen used to sleepwalk, until he one day he hit a wall and woke everyone in the house but not himself, Kyran one time got into an argument with an old lady at the market because they couldn't decide whether or not the scarf a vendor was selling was lilac or purple and turns out it was neither because it was pink, Masen used to cry whenever he heard a sad story involving dogs, Kyran said he hated the sea but turns out he didn't want to admit he was scared of sea monsters - want me to keep going? Because I can."
