Names, Identity, Ownership

i hope the sections feels seamless enough and that reading is easier :D

out thrifitng, I hear a mom hiss “aiden. do not.” then a short pause followed by fervent bongo playing

If EAH had like a costume party or something I think Bunny and Alistair would go as Roger and Jessica Rabbit respectively

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)

Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 

What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.) 

and suddenly i'm stimming

Regency era Touya who marries you, the daughter of a baron, in secret when you’re both in the folly of youth and then goes off to sea. You get a letter saying the ship he was on went down and there were no survivors. All you have to remember him by are the three weeks of marital honeymoon bliss before he was shipped off, and a wedding ring you keep hidden on a necklace (Elizabeth swan style ya know). You don’t even get a body to bury.

Seven years go by and your gentle heart has hardened. You had love once, but you’ll never get it again. You’re on your second season, determined to have fun and not seriously look for a husband - let alone from any of the young men who pursue you (what do they know of the world. Save them for some naive blushing debutante).

You still get offers though, and when an earl and your guardian sit down to properly consider marriage, he tells you that all he wants is an heir, and that your inheritance will remain yours, and to top it off you’ll have both a country and city home where you can reside and conduct yourself however you like (after the heir is secured, and with discretion of course)

Not a marriage of love, but of convenience and duty.

And you agree.

Your dress is bought, the invitations sent; everything is going off without a hitch.

Until you walk down the aisle and stand next to your fiancé and the doors burst open.

A man with inky hair and wild eyes stares at you and calls for a stop to the ceremony. Scars and tattoos mar his skin. The crowd is in an uproar calling for the removal of the filth that dared enter the church and ruin the wedding of the season.

He only has eyes for you though. With a swagger in his step, he marches down the aisle and grins at you.

“Aw,” he teases, “don’t tell me you don’t recognize your own husband?”

after WAYYYY too long, Caitlin is here!

as always, there's more under the cut :3

SHE WAS SO HARDDDD

she has nothing on her, both canon and fanon, so i had to get creative. And since she's so two dimensional (gymnastic then acting), i had to get VERY creative

I was stuck on her collage for the longest time, but I boiled it down to sporty and yellow, and my brain finally clicked.

Her outfit is based on a leotard that Simone Biles sells, and i even included the little signature :3

I forgot to put a ship list on the drawing, but I'll include an abridged one here

Iro, Eva, Karma and Sutra, adorable with Shibuki and Loola, Roxxy, Saywer, Marybelle, and Karyn

Should i make a page for all the headcannons i have for her relationships (and the other girls)? yes. eventually...

Bonjour, y'all

merry Christmas happy holidays, all that *NSYNC jazz

I got some monster high dolls for Christmas, and I wanna show 'em off

I was especially spoiled with the 2023 holiday edition Skellita Calaveras

the following is the line up of all my dolls, three of which I received last year (Scaradise Draculara, Creepover Twyla, and Ghoulia)

I also have Posea Reef, but I don't like messing with her. She seems to be somewhat emotional whenever I move her. The final photo is how I the six of the dolls set up on my shelf. Skellita is with Posea on a special shelf.

they're very gay
