I’ve Been Away For A Little (long) While, But Here’s A Moodboard For Heavy Weight Lifter Ginger,

You all have such lovely Noah’s! I would like to join your Noah squad, if possible! Here’s some info on my Noah: * 12 years old * Blond hair sticking up in weird directions and grey eyes. He has a yellow raincoat that he likes wearing and a black backpack with a never ending collection of rope, sketchbooks, broken pencils, gum, paperclips, a slingshot, old cookies and change. * Always running * Loves trainstations because they are full of colors and smells and people and noise and life. * Only child * Befriends a twenty-something art student by running into him, toppling him over and almost destroying his latest painting * Can be very serious and mature for his age * Can also be very silly * Firmly believes that popcorn and crips should be eaten together, at the same time

I see you also have a Noah! What's your Noah like??

Yes! Welcome to the Noah Support Squad, t-shirts pending.

Noah Ramsey Facts:

18 years old

ISTJ, Gryffindor, Scorpio, etc. etc.

Light brown skin, dark brown hair, splotchy freckles that get more prominent every time the writer mentions them

Enjoys running

Majoring in exercise science

May or may not have killed his powerful, magically gifted grandmother

As a result, is cursed with messed-up magic - his mind sometimes decides to astral project without his body’s consent

Full of sarcasm

Rolls his eyes so much that they’ll probably get stuck that way

T1 diabetic

Twin to August Ramsey (he’s the younger twin, please don’t remind him)

Stubbornly independent

Follows the rules

Threatens to murder someone on a regular basis (though the thought of actually hurting anyone makes him sick)

Tries his best, but doesn’t know how to people sometimes

Please tell me about your Noah!!

Vincent van Gogh - letters; Oscar Wilde - De Profundis; Tom Schulman - Dead Poets Societ).  

The Boxer by Mumford and Sons except playing in a late night train that’s nearly empty but for you, while you watch the rain out the window and drink your complimentary hot chocolate.

Thanks to @ladyliliana for tagging me! (And sorry for not getting back to you, I want to and I will! I am just a mess). 

Writing tag game

1. If you could go to one of your OC’s bachelor/bachelorette party, which would you choose? (also: who would have the wildest one?)

I would probably want to go to Soufre’s. She’s happy and fun and would make sure everyone had a great time without getting too crazy.  The wildest one would definitely be Copper, simply because he does not know the word ‘moderation’, nor can he handle his drink half as well as he thinks he does. 

2. What’s your favourite time of day to write?

I usually write whenever, in between other tasks. But if I have time, I prefer early afternoon, when I am well-rested and have a long day in front of me. 

3. What’s your favourite relationship in your WIP? (platonic or romantic)

In Elementary, I’d say either Soufre and Zinc or Bismuth and Fer. Soufre and Zinc are the most lovely and healthy couple I’ve ever written and I make it a point to have them stay that way the entire course of the story (their relationship is not the main focus anyway, they just love and support each other in the background). Bismuth and Fer are best friends and the ultimate raincloud-and-sunshine relationship. The will sit by the fire endless hours in the evenings and just talk. All the other Elements have grown used to falling asleep with their voices in the background. 

In Waterwegen, I love Paco and Mikel, who are two rowdy eleven year old boys that will literally follow each other to the end of the world (and steal each other’s ice-cream cones). I also love Josepe and Alba, father and daughter, because there is a lot wrong and complicated between them, but they try their best and they are fascinating to write. 

4. How far are you into your WIP?

About 1/4 for Elementary, and at the start of Waterwegen. I am trying! 

5. If you were stuck in a broken elevator for twelve hours, which OC would you choose to be stuck in there with you? (note: you have to be in there for the twelve hours. no Houdini escape)

Mercury! Clever, funny, passionate, into philosophy and art and with no qualms to talk hours on end. 

6. What’s your favourite colour?

All shades of blue. 

7. Where would one of your OCs propose to the other? (if this question isn’t up your alley, replace “propose to” with “surprise attack hug”)

Since I’ve already talked about their relationship: if Zinc was to propose to Soufre, he would do it in a clearing in the woods that he knows. He has collected wildflowers there before, to give it to her. 

Also, Soufre might surprise him and propose instead! She would do it on a normal evening, by the fire, surrounded by all of their friends. She’d love to see his surprise turn into excitement, and she would want to make him blush. 

(Zinc will definitely cry in either scenario).  

8. Which OC is most like you?

Probably my main character, Tungsten, because he is always conflicted between his fear of new people and the big world, and his longing to explore. He is scared of opening up but he craves his own found family. He is timid, but he still wants to be on stage. He is always fighting himself.  

9. Do you prefer writing with ambient noise, music (if so, with or without lyrics), or in silence?

Depends on my mood. I usually write with either soundtracks in the background (preferably fantasy ones), classical music or one song on repeat. Because I tend to read my work out loud, I also often work in silence. 

10. If you suddenly got the power of teleportation, where in the world would you go first?

I’d love to explore Sumatra and Java, or visit my friend in New Zealand! 

I lived above a Domino’s and I can confirm they are demons! The back entrance of my house was the same as the back entrance to the shop. It consisted of an alleyway where the lights were always flickering (even if we had just changed the lightbulb). There was a stone building in the corner, without a roof, but the door was locked. Things I found in this alleyway include but are not limited to:  1) Two tarot cards 2) A red toy car ln which a three year old could ride around  3) Three dead birds, evenly spread over the length of the alley  4) A silver charm with a card tied to it, proclaiming it a ‘guardian angel’ (the day after the birds)  5) My own bike, but turned upside down The building was also right in front of a nunnery-turned-student-housing. There was an old couch in the front yard, but I never saw a single student go in or out. Next to it was a big old house with a pointy roof and curtained windows that looked less like a place for demons and more like a vampire home. I am fairly certain the birds and the guardian angel where the signs of some ongoing war. 

omg so yesterday i put a salt line on the pathway to our front door because i was fucking around and my brother was pretending to be a demon

and today we ordered pizza and the salt line was still there

and my brother went outside to sign for the pizza

and the pizzaman refused to step over the salt line, like he almost did and then he backed up and handed my bro the pizza and left; which is pretty ridiculous because it’s far from our door

so a heads up to everyone i’m pretty sure domino’s is actually run by demons??? kind of like how in men in black the post office is run by aliens
