My HC is that Jon 'pretentious' Sims learnt some fancy type of dancing in college, like the Viennese waltz or something. When Martin finally musters the courage to ask him 'to go dancing', he shows up at his doorstep in a too nice suit, all hair-slicked-back and shoes-with-heels. Martin, who intended to get drunk enough to lose at least half of his nerves and wore sneakers for the occasion, almost dies on the spot.
Are you aware that you possess a galaxy brain with magnum wisdom?
Hi!! I haven't been here in a while and I'm not sure how long ago you posted that "character appearances" thing, but I wanted you to know that I love all of them (especially Zinc lol) so much, and they all sound so adorable!!
Aaah, thanks so much! It hasn’t been too long, actually, and I would still be happy to read this if it had been months ^^.Zinc would be getting you a bouquet of wildflowers right now.
Right now I’m doing a scene where my main protagonist and one of my antagonists have a nice little chat. You know, with the second one choking the first, that sort of thing. Guess who is going to be a reluctant spy in about fourhundred words!
does anyone want to come tell me about their wip or their ocs? im procrastinating hard here lads
Tag Game Rules: Tag 10 people you would like to learn more about!
I was tagged by @andtheotherstars, thanks so much!
Age: 19
Birthplace: A tiny town in the Netherlands
Current Time: 11:26
Drink you last had: A cup of tea. At this point, I think I'm 90% tea.
Favorite Song: I can hardly choose one since it changes all the time, but Saturn by Sleeping at Last and Starman by David Bowie must be two favorites.
Grossest Memory: Probably a friend throwing up in the bed we were sharing, while we were in it.
Horror, Yes or No: Hell no. I'm really no good with ghosts and all that stuff. Gore is okay, but not much fun.
In Love: Nope. And honestly never have been.
Jealous of People: Quite often, but I try not to let it show.
Love at first sight? Or should I walk by again?: I believe people can fall for each other at first sight, but to me, you can hardly call that 'love'. I think love needs a little more time.
Middle Name: Maria
Number of Siblings: Two brothers; a younger and an older one.
One Wish: To know what I want to do with my future.
Question you’re always asked: You are studying arts and culture? What are you going to dó with that?
Reasons to Smile: Oh, lots! I got an extra day off today. I spent last night with my family and thinking back of that is nice. I am going to stay over at a friend's the upcoming weekend and we'll be going to a LGTBQ+ party (which I've never done before). I got concerts and a musical and a trip planned for the upcoming months. My first draft is going well. My cat just came in and is now sleeping in my lap.
Song that I last sang: Well, we are celebrating Carnaval over here, so it's a horrible Dutch song I belted out surrounded my happy drunk people.
Time I woke up: Eight o'clock.
Underwear Colour: Blue. Quality information.
Vacation Destination: I'll be visiting Copenhagen in a few months, and I got two vacations yet to plan! (Wow, it sounds like I'm quite a traveler when said like this).
Worst Habit: Procastinating, I think. And hypocrisy (like, I'll give all my friends tons of advise and tell them to take care of themselves, and here I am, a goblin, eating nothing but an apple till five in the afternoon).
Favorite Food: Homemade soup and pancakes!
Zodiac Sign: Cancer
I'm tagging @teacups-and-tealeaves, @writinginthetwilight, @andtheotherwriter and @merigreenleaf. Don’t do it if you don’t feel like it!
A moodboard for the perfect asshole Kyle, by @anightravensecho. Thanks for your feedback and stories, and I hope you like this! Requests for OC aesthetics are open.
Thanks for tagging me, @cauldron-stories! I’m flattered :) TOP 3 SHIPS: I’m not much of a shipper, but I support these:
* Jon and Martin from The Magnus Archives (how could I not) * Eleanore and Chidi from The Good Place (hell yeah, healthy romance in which the characters actually have fun together) * Achilles and Patroclus from A Song for Achilles (it’s all just so poetic)
LIPSTICK OR CHAPSTICK: Chapstick. I really like how lipstick looks on other people but I’m super bad at make up and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.
LAST SONG I LISTENED TO: I’ve been listening to a lot of The Mountain Goats lately. Sometimes you just have to find some weird lyrics to yell along to, I suppose.
READING: I’m reading Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak, and it’s wonderful! I love his writing style.
Tagging: @teaspool, @ezrasaysokay, @mo0-mo0 and @thestarstho. I know I’ve never talked to you all, but I’m interested!
I was tagged by @thanatasia.
Rules: Tag 4 people you’d like to get to know better.
Top 3 ships:
Gurjin × Rian (Gurjian)
Rian × Mira (Mirian)
Rian × Deet (Stonegrot)
(I seem to have a favourite character … at least for shipping …)
Lipstick or chapstick: Neither.
Last song: oh, what a vague question all on its own …
Last song that I listened to: either Andrew Bird – Skin Is, My or Within Temptation – See Who I Am, I don’t remember.
Last song that I played on piano: Starset – Echo
Last song that I sung: Coldplay – White Shadows
Last song that I played on piano and sung: Evanescence – Your Star (in the original key and octave. I’m a madman, I do that.)
Last movie: frankly, I don’t remember. The last movie-like thing that I watched was Doctor Who series 4 episode 6 ‘The Doctor’s Daughter’.
Reading: two dozen tabs of unread AoR fanfiction open on my computer … and I’ve started on the Dark Crystal novel series but I’ve only read Shadows so far – Song is on its way, though, and I’ll probably get it in the next couple days and dive right into it.
I tag: @tickfleato @venterry @lilac-city-skylines @redrosessoulcabin (let me know if you’ve done this already)
Fer describing my MC Tungsten to Silver (all from Elementary) : ‘I know you think he is spoiled and ungrateful, but I see something else: I see a lonely boy. Look at him stumble over his words. He might dress fashionably, but he’s a misfit as much as the rest of us.’
Describe your MC in the voice of any secondary character, using no more than three sentences!
since nanowrimo starts tomorrow and I haven't seen that much about it on my dash, let's talk! who's participating and what are you excited about? ✨
You don't want to see me suffer (it's not entertaining).
AJR, The Worlds Smallest Violin // Anne Sexton, The Fury of Rainstorms // Chelsea Martin, MacDonalds is Impossible // Keaton Henson, On Touring // Neil Hilbron, You Can’t Be Depressed // Pat Barker, The Silence of the Girls // Patrick Roche, Every Forty Seconds // Wilfred Owen, Inspection // Rudy Franscisco, When People Ask Me How I’m Doing // Meghan Markle.
i think that sometimes the best thing that you can do is remind yourself that there are beaches. lakes, rivers, and ponds. there are forests. little woods and meadows. there are canyons. gullies and mountain cliffs. there are rainy days. dry spells and scorching blue skies. that the world turns. changes as much as it repeats. that feeling slow today won't stop tomorrow's high tide. won't make july's blackberries any less ripe
@ocdevelopmentstuff asked for a moodboard for their soldier Aksel. Hope you like this one! Requests for OC aesthetics are open
This blog will combine three things I love dearly: writing, talking about writing, and aesthetics. So if you have an amazing OC for which you crave an aesthetic moodboard or Instagram page - tell me all about them, and I will make you one! After all, every writer needs fanart.
