Hmm. That's A Very Tough Question To Answer, Mostly Because It Depends On Which WIP I'm Most Hyperfocused
Hmm. That's a very tough question to answer, mostly because it depends on which WIP I'm most hyperfocused on at any given moment in time. I usually pour all of my focus onto like, 3 specific WIPs per time until I finish either: 1. outlining, 2. plotting, 3. drafting lmao. Right now, the WIPs I'm having the most fun writing are What Lurks In The Hollow (urban fantasy/horror mystery/coming of age), Scrapyard Boys (superhero/dystopia), and Supernova Initiative (space opera/heist/whump)! Those are my Main 3 rn lmao, mostly cause I'm absolutely obsessed with the characters and storylines of that WIP and I cannot wait until I have those three drafts finished!
I'm also pretty excited about my post-apocalypse WIP, Plague of Tomorrow, which I'm planning to turn into a videogame.

First ever tagging game!
Hi everyone! this is my first try at a tagging game, and for those I tagged, enjoy!
Tell me which fic of yours or your work in progress has been the MOST FUN TO WRITE (if you want to). Like, which one did you have a BLAST writing? why? Feel free to share, to rec, to tell us WHY they were fun, etc etc. (stolen from the tumblr tagging game search response)
I'll go first, my most fun work in progress has been my story "heaven will never be the same" because i got to try my hand at writing a fight scene for once and that was outside of my comfort zone. now i just got to get out of writers block to continue the story.
those i tagged, dont feel forced to do this, u can easily not do it, yet i would you to play my first tagging game

π Rainbow: What is your favorite character dynamic to write? Give us an example from your WIP!
Thanks for the tag!
I like a lot of character dynamics, lol.
But I would say that one of my favorites is the Sunshine & Moonshine, and its variants:
From What Lurks In The Hollow: Christine Nespor/Dylan Millihan (Chaotic Sunshine/Withdrawn Moonshine)
From Grim City Chronicles: Vince & Peggy (Angry, Desperate Sunshine who will Stab Someone & his bubbly yet disturbingly quiet Moonshine cousin)
From Arrow of Nightfall: Isolte & Kiaran (Anxious Sunshine/Emotional Wreck Moonshine)
From Supernova Initiative: Jack Tithus & Deimos Soll (Selflessly Self-Destructive Sunshine & Gult-Ridden Morally Grey Moonshine)
Etc!

π₯OC Fight Tag π₯
Thank you for the tag, @illarian-rambling (here)!
Let's go with some of the cast of What Lurks In The Hollow for this one cause I think it'll be fun to see some of my non-magical/non-superhuman characters with this tag!
β€πππ πππͺππ π£π€
Health - 10
Strenght - 6
Speed - 8. 10 with his skateboard
Cunning - 9
Armor/Constitution - 3
Special Attack - Just Fucking Topple 'Em (If he needs to, he'll just run straight into any group of enemies with his skateboard, so he topples them to the ground along with him)
Weaknesses - Traumatic triggers that lead him to spiral into a panic attack + Low Esteem (vulnerable to psychological attacks that could potentially leave him wondering whether or not he is worthwhile or if his friends truly care about him)
Idle Animation - Standing on his customized purple and black skateboard, with his cheap headphones he stole from the dollar store on and drinking a vanilla ice cream milkshake. He occasionally gives the camera a mischievous smirk.
π»πͺπππ ππππππππ
Health - 9
Strenght - 10
Speed - 6-7
Cunning - 8
Armor/Constitution - 8
Special Attack - "You Don't Have The Guts" (Will rile the enemy up to an argument and then give them a brutal swing/punch with his brass knuckles - if the enemy doesn't fall prone, they still have disavantage for the next 3 rounds)
Weaknesses - People targetting his sister or making snide comments about her safety + General Exhaustion + Trust Issues
Idle Animation - He's leaning against his Chevy, arms crossed over his chest, a scowl on his face. He occasionally checks his phone for the time, and may glare into the camera with an "what are you looking at, loser?" stare, before looking away with a sigh. He seems impatient.
βπ ππππ£ πππ₯π€ππ
Health - 9
Strenght - 11
Speed - 8
Cunning - 8
Armor/Constitution - 7
Special Attack - "Did You See That? Oops." (Distracts the enemy with a comment about something they should look at, or generally makes them look away. The second they do he takes them by surprise and makes them trip down to the floor, then goes "Oh buddy, you okay?" before unleashing a barrage of cutting quips and calculated verbal burns, Vicious Mockery style.)
Weaknesses: Worrying if he is good enough/Impostor's Syndrome + Has a tendency to panic if someone makes him think he won't find his missing cousin in time.
Idle Animation: He's walking with a carefree smile on his face, talking friendily to people around him. At one point he adjusts his football team jacket, smiles at the camera and does a "I tip my hat to you" gesture, like a cowboy, despite not wearing a hat.
βππ£ππ€π₯πππ βππ€π‘π π£
Health - 8
Strenght - 6
Cunning - 10
Armor/Constitution - 6
Special Attack - "Flip and Spray!" (Wildly sprays the enemy's face with her pepper spray, aiming for the eyes, before flipping them off and attempting to kick their legs from under them. If sucessful the enemy remains blinded and prone for the next 4 turns, but even if not, they stay blinded for a turn and their movement speed reduced by half)
Weaknesses - Abandonement issues and people threatening her freedom or her friend's freedom
Idle Animation - She's sitting somewhere and drawing on her sketchbook with intense focus, which she only breaks to take a quick swig of her coffee and keep drawing. Eventually she looks up from the book and happily watches a yellow butterfly passing by, before noticing the camera and waving in its direction with an excitable smile.
