OOC development  pt. 2

Tell us your name/alias (again)!: My alias is Ella, which also happens to be one out of my many nicknames. My full name is Elisabeth though but it would be weird if any of you called me that. What have you found most challenging about writing the character(s) you have chosen? There are a few things I found challenging about writing Alecto even though I really love her. First of all I’m a person who gets bored by thing REALLY quickly, leading to multiple problems in life but aside from that to the fact that it’s incredibly hard for me to stick with one character for a while. Often I lose interest and muse too quickly and the amount of time I already spent with this baby is pretty high for my standards, still every now and then I feel as if writing her is impossible for me or I’m stuck. Second would be that nearly everything about Alecto if pretty fucking dark. This can get annoying every now and then when you would like a character who is just genuinely happy or at least manages to get close to people. Aside from that Alecto is one of those who is really strict about not having any kind of contact with the enemy aside from fighting which means I’m not really able to write everything with everybody, so it means some plots are just off limits. Rant finished.

What was your favorite thing in this RP thus far? (Whether it is a thread you wrote, a particular prompt or challenge, an OOC experience, or something else, let us know!): The people! Right from the start I got to know a bunch of amazing people here and you still haven’t stopped to amaze me. I really do love you guys and you’re making my days a lot brighter. Everybody is just so supportive and nice to each other and well, I appreciate that.

Have you formed any ships in this RP yet? (Whether for your own character or others):

This is a difficult one but I’ll try to write down a few: Xenodora, Lucissa, Cassandra/Amos. I haven’t been able to read a lot lately so I’m probably missing all the great stuff.

I have a bunch of plots/relationships of my character I like, though not all of them are of a romantic nature: Carrowzest, Narcissa/Alecto (which would be what? Nalecto? Blarrow?), Xenolecto, Lestrarrow (which of course is my very own shipname for Rab/Ali), Cassandra/Alecto and seriously nearly everything I ever plotted with any of you.

What season do you look forward to the most?

What is your favorite pizza topping? I love tuna, I love spinach and salmon but most importantly: A LOT of cheese pls.

Give us an unpopular or controversial opinion that you have. I think democracy in it’s current form is a failing system and not sustainable for all western countries that are suffering under demographic changes. I’m also quite aware there isn’t a better alternatice atm but I think we need to change the system in order to stop the old from having all the power about the youth’s future. I think this is a problem that is becoming more and more relevant these days.

Aside from that I’m a little left winged when it comes to politics so there is a lot more where that came from. For example I think taking refugees in should be considered normal and our duty as a lot of those people are fleeing problems caused by us western societies. We’re doing great because they’re doing horrible. It’s time to give back.

What does your the last text you sent say? Who was it to? What about the last text you received:

Last text I received was my best friend telling me I should tell her when to call me, the last text I sent was the answer to that.

Tell us a brief synopsis of the weirdest dream you’ve ever had: Very briefly it would be: I was chased through a public library by my older brother and a lion, it was a real hunt and it took quite a while. In the end I was saved by the pope though. I had this dream as a child, when me and my brother didn’t use to get along too well. Also idk why the pope?

Do you have any tattoos? Of what? Where? If not, do you want any? Why or why not?: No, don’t have any tattoos and also don’t want any. I just don’t feel the need to, it’s nothing that would fit me really well and also it’s fucking expensive mate.

What do you usually eat for breakfast?:

Nothing, which is really bad I know.

What is/was your strongest subject in school?: That would be Politics and English. Although I was pretty much just as good at my theatre course and philosophy.

Do you drive? If you do, what kind of car do you have?:

No, because I don’t have a car.

Fun fact: My parents don’t  have a car either, we always travelled by train/bus and I can tell you it DOES work out just fine.

What is your favorite creative pastime? (Art, cooking, music, writing, reading, etc): I like all of them even though I’d say that writing/reading and baking takes the cake... pun not intended. I FRIGGIN LOVE BAKING THOUGH!!

Cats or dogs and why?

Dogs but cats are so great too and right now I would probably rather want a cat because I don’t feel like it’s as needy as a dog. But generally speaking just give me something furry that wants to cuddle with me and I will love you forever.

What is your dream travel destination? Everywhere? Even though I have a tiny little crush on both Scottland and Canada. But also everywhere in Italy? I just love that country.

always-pure: 

Narcissa had been trying to give Alecto a serious look but a laugh escaped her lips and she found herself unable to stop smiling at the girl on the bed. When Alecto came into Narcissa’s life, the older girl finally got a chance to be the one looking after someone. She was used to being the one that everyone tried to protect, and having Alecto by her side truly felt like having a little sister. And like so many of Narcissa’s relationships she could not pinpoint the moment when the roles had reversed. The blonde had no doubt that Alecto was now the one looking out for her, the one protecting her, and she felt like the luckiest person in the world. To love and be loved, there was truly no greater feeling. ❝I’ll wrap myself on tinsel just to have you singing all night❞ she said before walking to the closet to pull out another gown, ❝see this is why ordering different colors and designs are always a must❞ she said putting the dress against her so Alecto could give her opinion, ❝and I hope you know that you are not getting away with wearing black for my wedding❞ Narcissa said matter-of-factly. 

She listened to Alecto’s reasons and shook her head with a smile. ❝What’s wrong with his face?❞ Narcissa asked faking concern, ❝and have in mind that I only ask because I don’t want my future children getting picked on❞ she finished with a laugh. Narcissa walked to the bed and gave Alecto a quick hug, since the girl looked miserable while nursing a hangover Narcissa knew she would not be quick enough to dodge her, taking her by surprise was the only way Narcissa could sneak some affection. ❝Thank you.❞  

Seeing Narcissa that light hearted and happy had become rare over the last few month. The blonde had always been an unusual part of the death eaters, she had always been the one worrying about the well being of everybody else and the recent amount of fights had been taking a toll on her. While Ali herself feared neither injuries nor the possibility of death she knew Narcissa was worrying her pretty mind enough for both of them and even though she wouldn’t admit it she liked that feeling. Alecto never really felt as if a lot of people would miss her if she were gone but she was quite sure her friend would. “I didn’t quite think that through, did I? Even though the thought of you wrapped in tinsel is quite appealing. You’d probably look really pretty in it though, meanwhile I’d look like a singing moron.” The brunette thought out loud, a grin still plastering her face. On days like these life seemed so simple, so good. Alecto wasn’t used to it, wasn’t used to just having a good time with a friend but she sure did enjoy it. “Oh well, you could have just used a spell or something and turned it blue but whatever, right?” She teased, wiggling her eyebrows a little. “However I think this would be a great choice because my mother would love this dress. Also I don’t quite see why I shouldn’t. Black is classy and isn’t that what your wedding should be. Also we’re burrying your freedom so it’s pretty fitting to the occasion.” She knew she was being snarky and Narcissa didn’t view her wedding this way but still... the young Carrow just couldn’t quite get herself to understand.

“I don’t know? There is just something weird about it, besides I wouldn’t want to marry a man prettier than myself, he probably even uses beauty products.” A snort escaped her lips as she shook her head. Being distracted with the thought of the Malfoy heir she didn’t see the older girl coming and all of the sudeen got her wrapped around herself. “Ugh, you’re welcome.” She said reluctantly patting her back. “But now bugger off, you know I’m not a hugger.”

Xenophilius & Alecto - moodboard #1

“When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it.” ( @xenolovegxxd)

[alectocx-blog]

The day had been exhausting so far, she had been up since early in the morning since The Dark Lord had ordered her to a meeting and afterwards she had spent the rest of the day running errands, stopping by at Narcissa’s and talking about the wedding. The Carrow girl still wasn’t quite convinced her friend was doing the right thing but she finally came to the conclusion there was nothing she could do to stop her so she could just as well try her best to help. Not that Narcissa would actually need any help or Alecto actually knew anything about weddings, still she had been sitting next to Cissy for the entire afternoon giving her opinion on several decisions that had to be made. 

During the whole time her thoughts kept wandering off to another wedding, the one between her brother and Isabella Greengrass. Their engagement had just been announced to the twins and ever since it was hard for Alecto to think about anything else. Isabella sure was one of the people she’d consider to be her friend still she was not even close to being good enough for Amy, but would anybody ever be? 

Stepping out of the house Ali realized it had already gotten dark outside and quickly decided to apparate instead of using the chance to take a walk. After everything she just wanted to get home as fast as possible, secretly hoping her brother would be there too. They hadn’t had a quiet moment after christmas yet and there was a lot to talk about. Stepping into the apartment a smile instantly appeared on her face as Amy stood near the door offering her a drink. Home it was indeed. “It is as if you read my mind.” She answered, taking the glass out of his hand, instantly taking a sip. Her gaze quickly wandered over everything her brother had set up and it was truly perfect. 

“Alright, I’m just gonna grab something more comfortable, be back in a sec. Don’t start smoking without me.” Her answer was accompanied by a smirk as she got rid of her shoes and made her way towards her bedroom. Helping herself to an oversized pullover and some warm socks she got changed at record speed. This was the closest do actual christmas spirit they would ever get this year and Alecto already knew she had to enjoy every second of it because moments like that had gotten rare. “Alright, here I am.” She announced as she stepped back into the living room, sitting down on the couch next to him, quickly grabbing one of the blankets. “I can’t believe we’re finally both home for one night.” 

Inseparable [carrow twins]

The flat was set and clean for the first time in weeks. A fire was burning, logs crackling as the warm embers danced over them. A bottle of Ogden’s Finest sat in a bucket of ice, two tumbler glasses sat beside it waiting to be filled with the amber liquid. A finely rolled joint beside that, and a black candle lit on each end of the coffee table. Two thick, warm blankets sat draped over the couch with a throw pillow on each end. There was even snacks sat on the counter in preparation. Amycus surveyed his surroundings in satisfaction; he had done well. Nights like these had become more and more scarce as the years flew by. The twins were lucky to have a decent night together once a month, and he would be damned before either of them missed the last one of the year. Anyone else might mistake this for a date but in truth, it was nothing of the sort. There was nothing quite like a night with his twin to ease his mind, to help him sort out the complications that had arose in their daily lives - it was down time and damn near therapeutic to his chaotic mind. If he wanted it to be comfortable then so be it. She was more than his twin, after all - Alecto was his very best friend. She deserved the best. At the sound of a loud CRACK! outside their door, Amycus began pouring the fire-whiskey into two glasses and was already handing it off to her as she walked in. “Welcome home.” He said with a small grin, raising his glass in cheers as he casually took his place on the couch. It was quite obvious that she would want some time to change and get herself comfortable; he himself was clothed in soft lounge pants and a relaxed tee that he wore around the home. “Take your time.”

How many people have you slept with?

Let’s just say more than one but it’s not a number you should be ashamed of. I have my standards after all. 

[alectocx-blog]

Who matters to you most?

That would be Amy for sure. Surprised you had to ask.

Shaking her head in disbelieve she looked at Rab. “You’re impossible Lestrange and of course you will. Amy will probably come home and think I bloody killed somebody on the couch. Which I would never do, because it’s a nice couch...” For a second Alecto actually thought she might have done something terrible, watching him nearly unconscious, his face clearly expressing the agony he must’ve been going through. The thought of losing him to her own inability was too hurtful to actually process so when he extended his arm to grab the bottle next to her a released sigh escaped her lips.

Watching him down a few gulps of the whiskey she just sat there, more relieved than she ever felt before. His first words directed at her made her grin a little. “Well, those are idiots and to be honest I wouldn’t have come back for any of them.” She answered, shrugging a little. But it was the truth, there weren’t many people Ali would risk her life for, actually there were really little. Following his gaze to her arm she realized her own injury for the first time ever since they reached the flat. “Forget about it, it’s nothing. It barely even hurts. But I do agree with the putting them down. As soon as you’re on your feet and ready we’re gonna find out who those dickheads were and hunt them down. You don’t get away with something like that.” She promised as she went on taking care of his wounds, now that they already went through the hardest part the rest seemed easy to Lecto. Mumbling the spells needed in order to fix him up she kept a wary look at him the entire time. “We’re nearly done. We’ll need to get you out of that shirt though, there are a bunch of cuts on your arms they might expand to your torso.”

Before she could continue doing so his words made her stop. She herself hadn’t spend a single thought on what this whole situation must have meant but he oviously already realized. “You’re right, somebody must have tipped them off.” Her mind was already going through the ranks of death eaters, trying to figure out who could be the traitor. “I didn’t try yet... was too busy trying to keep you alive.” She answered his question, a grin on her face. “However you seem to be doing rather good, already thinking of all those things we need to do next.”
