Here! I found an easier way to get asks since you guys might have a hard time coming up with things to say. So we could do some prompts here and there if they interest you.
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.)

List of “smartass x dunce (and they fall in love!)” prompts
Requested by: Anonymous Request: “HELLEOEODLIDOWIDLDIXO. may I request ‘smartass paired up with fucking idiot for a project and then they fall in love’ ? I love your prompts kiss kiss”
“Did you even understand what the instructions were?” “Well, not really, but I know you’re smart so I’m just kind of relying on you.”
“That’s not how you’re supposed to do that!” “Stop yelling at me and tell me how to do it, then!”
“If you don’t want to fail this, you might want to do it my way.” “You sound like a dictator.”
“You don’t have to be an asshole to get your point across.” “In what way is calling you out on your shit job done me being an asshole?” “That’s exactly what I mean!”
“Can you stop bossing me around? I can manage to do this without your help!” “Well, you’re not really showing you’re capable of that, are you?”
“You know what, just leave this whole thing up to me.” “No, but I actually want to help-” “Well, your contributions are actually kind of making things worse.”
“…That’s not what that means, look at the dictionary.” “I did! I swear that’s the definition on Urban Dictionary.” “Urban Dic- oh, for fuck’s sake-"
“This is how you do it.” “…Ohhhh-"
“I’m not that stupid, and you’re not that smart. You’re just acting like a know-it-all, maybe that’s why you don’t have friends.” “Well, that- I don’t need friends.”
“Oh… Your writing’s kind of cute.” “Oh? Uh, thanks.” “Yeah, well, I do compliment people when they deserve it.”
“See! I just needed a demonstration so I can do this myself!” “Yeah, I’ve repeated this like… Ten times now but sure, if it finally helps then that’s my goal reached, I guess.”
“Gosh, here, let me do that for you.”
“You know you can ask for help when needed, right?” “Yeah, well, you don’t exactly make yourself approachable.”
“I’m not sure what’s happening, but you seem more patient with me now.” “Oh… Am I? That's false, why would you even say that?”
“I do like being told I’m doing a good job.” “Oh, so I should do that more often?” “…Are you flirting with me?” “No, you idiot- what? Focus on the work, goddamn it, letting one compliment get to your head like that…”
“That… Was decent.” “You know complimenting me more than that isn’t going to kill you right?”
“Do you use your brain to think or…” “Why would I need to do that when I have you here?”
“Your dumbassery is infecting me.” “Well, you know what they say. Great minds think alike.”
“Maybe you’re not as bad as I thought.” “That’s a huge compliment coming from you.”
“We should probably see each more outside of this project.” “…Say that again, I didn’t hear you.”

Started about 50 religious wars at once apparently.
Every paladin heard the message from their god "All other paladins but you are corrupt, cleanse them" months of violence ended with another message "The Trickster stole my divine link, what did he tell you?"

fanfic writing culture isn’t “oh dang! I wanted to write about this prompt with this character but someone else already wrote it, so now I can’t”.
fanfic writing culture is always “two cakes is better than one. the more the merrier. there can ever be enough fics of this character with this prompt!”

*Looks nervously to the side*
“Mh, not to interrupt your spiral of self-destruction, but [Enemy] has escaped her cell.”
“Fucking seriously? How does she keep doing that?”
