Heads Up, Seven Up Tag

Tropes tag

I was tagged by @sabrina-author to do this tag. Thank you for tagging me in this! I will have the tropes I'm currently working on with my WIP here in purple and the ones I'm working on for future projects outside of Tumblr in red.

I will tag @k--havok and @elizaellwrites for this tag.

Rules: Bold the tropes you enjoy writing or that show up in your writing a lot.

Found Family | The Chosen One | The Martyr | Surprise, Bitch!

Thanks for tagging me in this @foxys-fantasy-tales! For this I'm only going to use these characters from my WIP I took off from here with Jet and Evander. Hopefully, this worked out as some of them are very complex with their characterization and arcs.

Find the Word Tag

Thank you for tagging me in this @foxys-fantasy-tales. I'm going to look through a recent chapter for this tag from J&E.

Forever

N/A

Important

“Probably a question out of nowhere,” he began, “But you know where I try to get some of my important documents?” 

“I don't have all of the resources I would like to fully help with that,” They started, hoping their information was useful. “But I do know a good starting point.”

“That’s fine and I can go off of that. Also, I’m sorry for being clueless with getting my documents.”

Daunting

After all, it would only be a longer and more painful road ahead if he were to fall backwards in his progress. Even if progress isn't linear, that wouldn't be good for him in any way. Still he had a daunting path ahead of himself they hoped would be easily traveled if they could be able to help.

Brave

N/A

I will tag @k--havok @athenswrites for this. Your words are

direct, control, envy, and dark

Oc questions tag

I was tagged by @k--havok to do this tag. Thank you for tagging me! I will tag @elizaellwrites and will leave an open tag for anyone else who wants to do this as well. I'll leave a copy of the questions at the bottom.

For this, I will use Evander from my WIP since they are my favorite out of the characters I have currently and a lot of my thinking revolves around them. Also, they are the one who lives rent free in my head the most out of all my characters and they tend to be the first one I think about when I get an idea.

5 words to physically describe your OC

Intimidating, androgynous, tattooed, gentle, adaptable.

Who inspired your OC?

No one inspired Evander from where I can think of. I just drew them sometime early last year along with some other characters and I had an idea about what their character was like that went on from there.

Give me a song to define your OC

Going to bend this one a little bit as they have two that reflects their character. I'll add some information about how it works with them as well.

Back off, I'll take you on

Headstrong to take on anyone

I know that you are wrong

Headstrong, we're headstrong

Back off, I'll take you on

Headstrong to take on anyone

I know that you are wrong

And this is not where you belong

I can't give everything away

I won't give everything away

They're very headstrong and stubborn that this fits perfectly for them. They won't back down from something they know they can help and will go until the end of it. This also goes for what they've experienced already with Marla when helping Jet and dealing with her case.

How can I sleep at night? There's a war inside my head

I found a lion hidden right beneath my bed

I will not hide myself from the tears that you have shed

--

But tomorrow is tomorrow, so forgive me if I stay

You can hide beneath the covers while I hide behind the pain

After all, only so much we can say

Words can lose their meaning once you walk away

Promise that you love me, watch me as I fade

I'll give you all those things that these liars never gave

The hands on the clock and the things we cannot change

Tear it all to pieces and take back what I made

If there's one thing I'd keep, it's you that I would save

'Cause I am just a lion, and a lion I will stay

This is more of their hidden anxious side they don't outwardly show others and is heavily reflective on themself. They don't have anxiety about their entire character, but a part of their personal identity they've been secure in for years.

^^ have to keep some secrets here as this will have it's own chapter in the future.

If I met your OC on the street how would they greet me?

Evander is open to new people and would have a small conversation with you if you wanted. If it's a simple "Hello, how are you?" they would respond and ask you the same. They're friendly with people they don't know or know well, so you'll generally get a friendly interaction. If you're someone they don't like and are on their bad side, good luck getting them to speak to you unless they're stepping in to help someone.

Can your OC be your best friend? Why?

Evander is overall a warm and gentle person, but their intimidating side can be a little scary. They won't harm you in any way and would prefer themself to get harmed instead, but if you didn't know that it's a bit off-putting. On the other side of things, they are one of the gentlest people who will be there to help you. They are also very patient and understanding with people, within reason if the other isn't wanting to anything and having them do everything. Ultimately, I'd say there's a good chance we might.

My compliments to the artist on this beautiful copy of Watership Down with the edges painted with… rabbits!

They’re on Etsy as FaevoriteBooks and I’d highly recommend checking out their shop. I’m in love with this copy of Watership Down for my ever growing collection.

👀 Side Note: Did you know Puffin Publishers are releasing a clothbound classic edition of Watership Down in October? You know where I’ll be.

A ten, but... Tag

Thank you @sabrina-author for tagging me in this! I will use my characters who have appeared more than once in my WIP for this.

I'll be tagging @k--havok and @elizaellwrites

Jet- He's a 10, but doesn't give himself credit for what he does quite often.

Evander- They're a 10, but they are the CEO of being stubborn and about the strangest things at times.

Serna- She's a 10, but appears as if she has a full pot of coffee in the morning with her boundless energy.

Marla- She's a 10, but it's never for the right reasons.

Heads up, seven up tag

I was tagged by @k--havok to do this tag. I'll tag @sabrina-author @elizaellwrites to do this tag.

From the WIP where Evander goes to work while Jet is left at the apartment.

Right now he didn’t feel like playing very much and hasn’t played really since he had his silver bass either. He decided to put a movie on the tv and try to find something to eat later on. Maybe later on he would look up places around the area to visit.

The movie he picked was a part of a duology and ended up watching the second after the first finished its run time. Looking up the movies for more information about them, he found out that they were adaptations of an old fantasy novel.

Finding the novel in question, it was published about a decade before he was born and had reasonable popularity after its publication. However, it never had the popularity the movies received and seemed to fade into a bit of obscurity.

Hello, I'm Wynter Fox, but feel free to call me Wynter. Welcome to my writeblr where I am posting about my characters and if you have any questions about my WIP feel free to ask. I work on one WIP at a time and will have other WIPs in the future.

In terms of writing, I will post short stories (ranging from 1-5 parts) that are going to stay here. I might consider doing a seasonal piece from time to time as that would be enjoyable and give some variety. 

Tag games are always going to be welcomed! Feel free to tag me in anything and I’ll try to get to it.

Asks are also welcomed, so feel free to ask me anything. 

OC Kiss Week Day Three

Got this done later than I would like, but this will be the last picture with Jet and Evander as I would like to feature other characters. This has an accompanying excerpt under the cut. Word count: 523.

Unlocking the door, they had red sunflowers with a small pouch with it. They didn’t know what their partner was doing but could smell what he made. Setting the sunflowers down on the table next to the couch, they saw him cleaning the counter.

“You made all this?” They asked gently, looking at what he made.

"I wanted to surprise you with a lovely meal tonight." His smile was accompanied by their soft expression as he sat down. "Despite my efforts, I was unable to finish and clean up before you got back."

“Oh, Jet. This is a wonderful surprise. Thank you so much for doing all this.”

They went over and crouched next to him, placing a hand on his shoulder as they gave him a gentle kiss while he cupped the side of their face. After parting from the kiss, they took the towel from his hand and cleaned off the sauce from his cheek. He smiled and kissed them again that made both of them lose their balance, making both of them laugh together as they laid like that for a moment before he sat up off them.

“I love you, Evander.”

“Ich liebe dich auch, Jet.”

“I’m glad you like the surprise. But I’m guessing that means you love me too?”

“It does. Though you should check out the table next to the couch because I think you'll like it.”

He stood up and went over to the table to see the red sunflowers with the small pouch. He held the sunflowers and hugged them with the sunflowers around their neck. Smiling, they asked if he liked his gift.

He said red sunflowers were his favorite and why his laptop background was a field of red sunflowers. The beautiful red color was something he loved about this variety of sunflowers. Red sunflowers weren’t very common and made their beautiful color all the more special.

After he let them out of the hug, he saw the small pouch and opened it. Inside was a pick case with the logo of his favorite band on the flap. As he held it he loved how it looked as it was beautiful.

He asked them to wait where they were for a moment before quickly going to get something. They tilted their head for a moment until they saw him come back with a huge box of sweets they liked and handed it to them, knowing how big of a sweet tooth they had.

“Jet, I know I’ve got a massive sweet tooth but this is nearly half my height if I turn it on its side.” They smiled with a kind laugh lining their voice, holding the box.

“I know that box is scared of you, knowing its quick fate. Maybe five days at most?” He joked, smiling happily.

“You might be correct. But, not in five days. Perhaps eleven, maybe twelve, but definitely not five.”

“Okay, eight days.”

“Oh my god, Jet. You are so crazy!”

“I guess I am, Evander.”

“Hey, how about we have some of the delicious smelling dinner you so sweetly made tonight before it cools off?”
