♡ OC Ask Meme ♡

what is the most unique aesthetic you've either created for a character, or someone has sent into you?

That's a difficult question! I've read such awesome character descriptions and I hope I created something nice for each of them. I am still very happy with the Instagram-aesthetics I did for @futureauthor-mabye, that felt like a unique little project!

I am also satisfied with all my Waterwegen aesthetics, especially the one I made for Paco and the one I created for the full story. It's a story with a very distinct feel to it and I like to think I captured it pretty well.

I will do this for Soufre, because I love her and don’t talk about her enough.

Hey! Um, I have a question - are we allowed to ask for multiple moodboards? What I mean by this is like. Could I ask for a moodboard for an OC, and when that one is done, a while after, could I ask for another one for a different OC? Thanks, and have a great day!! :D

Yes, sure, of course you can! I know how easy it is to fall in love with two or more OC’s in one story, not to mention the amount of stories (and characters) one can have. It would almost be mean to make you choose!All I ask is a little patience - I am a college student and my inbox yesterday suddenly exploded with requests (about which I am very excited!), so it might take a little while for the moodboards to be published. Apart from that, you are always welcome to discuss your characters with me and ask for as many moodboards as you would like (though I might give preriority to new ones, if you have asked five already ;)). 

a tip for writing female characters: don’t be afraid to make her feral. just absolutely batshit. her actual intelligence? that can vary. but bring out the chaotic stupid tendencies. embrace her as a one brain cell enemy of the state

I can't believe I made his last words a corny joke. 

for any ocs who have died, whether permanantly or otherwise - what were their last words?

My battery is low... 

Today, a collection of cameras and steel was pronounced dead. She sang to celebrate herself, survived a marathon of miles, shared and showed her redburned hollow home. We gave her iron claws to drag along a planet's spine and when, one morning, the sensors would not wake, we shouted out a thousandfold: 'Are you okay?'

To no response.

She had a name. Between hurricanes and stars, we tend to love what kills or dies, ripping up our teddybears in Sunday morning rooms till stuffing snows and tickles throats, brings water to our eyes.

Stuck on an arbitrary globe, we compose 'Space Oddity'. Dream of escape, at least embrace the ache of rust she cannot feel. There is both humor and humanity in loss.

She might be us. Cross-winded, heading straight into the dust. We weave the trails into a 'why', frantic scramble metaphors, and with our scraped up hands, mold her dying code into a poem.

...and it's getting dark

december 3rd??? what the fuck. what’s next? december 4th? a 5th of december???? give me a fucking break.
