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.

These are the seven paragraphs from my WIP I'm working on. It happens after Our first meeting where Evander is about to go to work.

“Forget about that; you're not going to be a burden to me. I wanted to help and that's exactly what I'm going to do, no matter what's needed.”

“Thank you for that, Evander. You don't have to do any of this for me.”

“I'm going to anyway. This apartment is going to be a safe place for you and a place that you can feel comfortable living in.” They said, wanting him to know that he has a safe place in the apartment, always. “It's just as much your place to live as it is mine and I want to know that and tell me what you need.”

“Really?” He sounded surprised by that and was trying to hide it in his voice, looking at them.

“Definitely, this is a safe place and you don't need to worry about anything like that.”

He looked down, almost like he was saddened by their reassurance that he was safe and didn't have anything to worry about. It was something that should've made him feel better but it didn't look like it had that effect. They asked if he was alright from his reaction.

Nodding slightly, he thanked them for being so kind and willing to help him out when he was nothing more than a stranger to them. They had no obligation to do anything they've already done for him. Still, he was grateful for it.

So what happened to me and where I've been...

In short a lot of things have happened to me including being moved around all the time and trying to find stability. That's been the bulk of everything and the roughest. Because of all that l am no longer attending college this year like I mentioned prior.

I'm still available for tag games to do as I need all the motivation in the world right now to even look at my WIP J+E. Please send any tag games to me and l'll get them done as soon as I can but most likely will take a bit of time to post.

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?”

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.

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.

Forgot to post yesterday's OC kiss for #ockiss24 so I'm going to post it in a minute. Just got the second picture done for today and that will be going up as well.
