Thanks For Tagging Me In This @foxys-fantasy-tales! For This I'm Only Going To Use These Characters From

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.

End credits tag

Thank you @k--havok for this tag! Saw this earlier and found the nearly perfect one for my WIP (J&E) once I find the name of the song again after I forgot the name of the song.

Rules: pick a song that would play as the credits start rolling if your WIP was a movie. Feel free to do as many WIPs as you'd like.

J&E (Book 1)

I'll tag @foxys-fantasy-tales @fracturedfable @athenswrites @elizaellwrites and leave an open tag

Last line w/a Twist tag

I was tagged by @dragonedged-if to do this tag. Thank you for tagging me in this. I will tag @faeveries @elizaellwrites @k--havok and @sabrina-author to do this tag!

This is from the same Wip that takes place after Our first meeting.

And something that he didn't have to make himself sounded like a dream with the little desire he had for doing much at the moment.

Heads Up, Seven Up Tag

I've been tagged by @k--havok to do this tag. Thank you for including me in this! I will tag @elizaellwrites and @faeveries since I'm still new to the writing community here.

This is an excerpt from the last WIP I wrote and have yet to post, but will be up soon! Here's eight lines from it and it's the start of a heavy scene with Jet and Evander.

After trying to do some things on their laptop to give Jet some space and being completely unable to, they went to check on him to make sure everything was alright. This was eating away at their nerves like corrosive battery acid.

The quietness in the apartment was almost unsettling and their worry about him wasn’t a good combination. They could hear some soft crying from him nearing the dark room and turning on the light once they entered. Jet was covered up and had his head under the blanket, tightly curled up in a tight, tiny ball underneath.

Sitting on the bed next to his curled up body, they softly said his name wanting to help ease the pain, or at least try. He whimpered out that he wanted to be left alone right now with his pain. Hearing this, they knew he was more than hurt and they couldn't bear leaving him to suffer alone like this.

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?”

Tagging @foxys-fantasy-tales.

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.

Longish post with a few updates.

Kinda disappeared for a bit during oc kiss week due to life happening and didn't end up finishing up the event. Everything's going well otherwise behind the scenes and I've have had a wonderful life development as well.

As for my WIP J&E I've had some great character development planning for some of the characters and working on some chapters as well. A bit of information on that is one of my characters has been developing quite interestingly and it's becoming clear that they are my favorite character out of everyone. Who that is, I can't say as it'll be too much of a spoiler.

Though, when I do talk about this character with others in my personal life I'm told that they're my favorite because of how much I talk about them. I use to think they weren't as I would joke saying that they're the golden child, but now I see it and I have to agree with those who told me that.

However, on an activity related note, I will soon be attending college and have less free time than I do now. I'm so happy to have this opportunity for myself as I get to pursue one of my passions after so long. Just working on getting some things into place currently.

I will still be doing any tag games and posting what I normally do during that time when I get a chance to. Because of this, I might be late getting it done.

In terms of writing being posted on here, I would like to experiment with different genres other than what my WIP J&E is, such as horror, fantasy, or something else I feel like experimenting with.

Romantic snippets

I was tagged by @k--havok to do this tag. I'm going to use the dialogue from An answer since Jet and Evander have been together for a bit over a year at that point.

I'm tagging @faeveries and @elizaellwrites for this tag.

“Jet, come on, grab your bass so you can show your confusing partner what you’ve figured out so far.” Evander laughed softly as they turned off the sedan.

“If you say so confusing E.” Jet teased them a bit more, quickly hopping out of the passenger seat and laughing to grab his bass as they put their forehead in their hand with soft laughs coming from them. 

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.
