Out of Context Line SnippetTag!

Thanks for the tag, @willtheweaver (here)! I'll go with a snippet instead of a line because I really like this one!

From The Forgotten Ones Ch.1!

"Our House has stood for centuries. What right has that army over our people?" Vivaldah protested, gesturing towards the window. Beyond it, on the courtyard below, stood the heralds of the foreign Inquisition. Invaders in their land, as far as she was concerned.

Lady Noemie, standing in front of the mirror, did not turn around. Instead, she coldly adjusted the tiara upon her own brow as she answered, pragmatic "None. But they have the power to wash our fields away with the blood of our people. And that is something I will not allow."

Vivaldah glared at her sister's reflection "So you will marry the enemy? That idea is worse than surrendering. That's letting them win."

Noemie remained unfazed, and after analyzing her attire for a moment more, she finally moved, dress chiming like a million sharp diamonds as she walked. Vivaldah had never seen her look this frigidly determined.

The Queen, her sister, placed a hand on her shoulder, "And letting them win is the only way our people will live, Viva. Has the fall of House Velinad taught you nothing? Times have changed."

"At least the Velinads died fighting." Vivaldah rebuked through gritted teeth, though her voice betrayed more sadness than anger.

OC Questionnaire Tag!

Thanks for the tag, @anyablackwood (here)!

I'll go with Deimos Soll from Supernova Initiative, Lady Vivaldah Lariach from The Forgotten Ones, and Kane Mylestrom from Song of Thorns!

Your OC Questions:

What is a thing that would break your trust in a person immediately?

What is your favorite animal? Have you ever had a pet/or want one?

Who do you look up to the most?

If you were to wake up in another universe, what is the one thing you would take with you?

Deimos: "My sniper rifle, or food. One of those two options, it depends on what hypothetical 'universe' I happen to wake up in."

Vivaldah: "My sister's necklace, which is also the sigil of our House. It's one of my most prized possessions."

Kane: "I wouldn't call my dragon a 'thing', because she is a sentient and mighty being who deserves all the respect, but yes, I would take my dragon with me."

2. What kind of person pisses you off the most?

Deimos: "People who think they can do anything to others just because they have the power to - snobbish tyrants who think it's their birthright to screw others over. Also, people who objectify others or who think torture is 'okay' just because they think it's justified for a 'greater cause' are a kind person that makes my blood boil immensely."

Vivaldah - "Those who justify cruelty in the name of their 'Gods', and who think they can kill anyone whom they consider 'heretics' just for thinking differently than them. I also hate people who are rude and who like to make fun of others."

Kane - "Cowards and people who turn tail and run at the first sign of trouble, along with liars, manipulators and people who have no moral compass. I also despite royals who consider their subordinates as pawns to be manipulated and discarded once we're no longer of 'use.'"

3. How often do you dream? Are they usually dream-dreams, or nightmares?

Deimos: "Well let's see: I was kidnapped from my homeworld by slavers when I was sixteen, escaped, and grew up as a street urchin - with the duo who became my adoptive siblings - on one of the most crime-ridden moons of our galaxy, and then, as an adult, was captured by an insane warlord who tried to torture me into being her living puppet weapon. So... you can imagine the kind of 'dreams' I have are far from pleasant most nights."

Vivaldah: "I used to have the sweetest dreams in the past. When I was just me being a princess who lived in a rosy-tinted world, sheltered in my family's ancestral palace. Then the Iron Inquisition came. Now my sleep is haunted by the memories of the day my family was slaughtered by them."

Kane: "Eh. I'm not the kind that usually has a lot of dreams, and when I do they're usually the most nonsensical, stupid mess that makes me question my life and sanity, and then wake up and not remember anything about that dream in the morning. So. My dreams aren't bad, they're just weird and I rarely remember most of them."

🙌 - How many sibling does your OC have?

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

- for OC(s) of your choice

Thank you so much for the ask, @diabolical-blue!!!! I'll go with some characters from Supernova Initiative, Mutant Inquiries, Song of Thorns, and The Forgotten Ones!

🙌 - How many siblings does your OC have?

Jack (Supernova Initiative) - Jack has one biological younger sister, Cassiopeia, whom he raised on his own ever since he was a teenager. He also has an adoptive brother, Deimos Soll, who was his best friend as a kid but then drifted away once they grew up before they reconciled.

Tarrant (Song of Thorns) - Tarrant has no siblings but he has two cousins (twins) with whom he has a sibling-like bond. Their family was pretty screwed up, so they only really had each other to rely on.

Elodie (The Forgotten Ones) - Elodie has an older sister named Raine, and two adoptive siblings, Sasha and Ilya. They were all street urchins, who became friends by chance and family by choice.

Nydia (Mutant Inquiries) - Nydia had a twin brother named Skylar, and they were both famous and successful ballet stars during their teen years, but he was killed by one of the villains of the story, which started her revenge arc.

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

Jack - (I answered that here) 💕

Tarrant - Awful, just plain awful. His parents were some of the worst people in his life, who mistreated him viciously and abandoned him at the first chance they got. He was adopted by his aunt, but after she died it was just him and his cousins against the world. To make matters worse, years later, Tarrant discovers that his parents sold his soul to a local Warlord - which forced him to work for that man as a spy and entertainer, lest his soul would be destroyed and his cousins killed. So yeah. Horrible parents, horrible.

Elodie - She never knew her mother, but she knew her father. He was a kind man, and a loving parent to her and her older sister. He was a former soldier, who had left the army after being accused of treason. He (and his children) ended up having to live on the run because of it, and when Elodie was seven years old he ultimately was killed by his former "comrades".

Nydia - Her parents were distant and narcissistic - not necessarily in an extremely abusive way, but in a way that their love was conditional and they were only truly 'happy' with her when she and her twin accomplished something they deemed 'important enough'. They weren't really the emotionally present sort either. And especially didn't give her the support she needed when she needed it.

Heads Up Seven Up!

I got tagged by @marlowethelibrarian. Here are the last seven eight lines I wrote today

Ron's eyes flick up to the rearview mirror. Briefly, he sees himself, his respiratory mask, the red of his eyes. He reaches up to adjust the mirror, down to Nat's unconscious, taped up body, laid out across the backseats. He unlocks his phone screen, half an eye on it, half an eye on the road. The dial tone rings, phone clenched between his jaw and his uninjured shoulder, one hand on the steering wheel. "Heyy," he grins as she picks up, his face frozen into something wide-eyed and manic. "Rabbit! How's it going?"

I tag @mysticstarlightduck and @inks-books + open tag!

1 to 5 Tag!

Thank you so much for the tag, @saltysupercomputer (here)!

I'll go with Supernova Initiative for this one!

Rules: Follow the prompts, change one if you like, and tell the lovely world of writeblr a little something about your WIP! Answers to the prompts can be in the form of quotes or anything you’d like!

(I changed the second prompt and inverted a few of the prompts I didn't change lmao)

One word to describe your WIP:

(Mis) Adventures

Two of my favorite things about this WIP:

The relationship between the main trio of siblings (Jack, Cassie & Deimos - Jack and Cassie are biological siblings, and Deimos is their adoptive brother/childhood best friend), and how they navigate different paths in life and yet still maintain a bond just as strong as the one they had as kids, even if it takes a while to rebuild it at times (the ''rebuilding" part refers specifically to: Deimos leaving the group then having a redemption arc after regretting his actions).

Writing different character personality quirks. Their little mismatched group of misfits has vastly varying personality types within it and that makes for some of the most interesting interactions I've written so far.

Three feelings from your characters:

Love, defiance, and trust

Four tropes featured:

Found Family

Morally grey character with a heart of cold

Rivals to friends

Heists!

Five songs from your WIP-playlist:

It's My Life - Bon Jovi

I'm Dangerous - The Everlove

Trouble - Valerie Broussard

Shame! Shame! Shame! - Reinaeiry

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Malia J (version)
