betraying someone who trusts them deeply is one of the sexiest things a character can do its unparalleled. cause either the relationship is irrevocably changed and said character is completely at fault (guilt complex, hot) or it isnt and then both sides have to deal with the fact that they care about each other enough to overlook the betrayal (unceasing devotion, also hot)

OC Ask Game

3. What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go?

Alina's most expensive purchase was definitely her best friend in the whole wide world, SHOJIIIII. Idk exactly how much he cost, but he's pure Andalusian and his sire is from the Silverglade Manor, so I can only assume he's well-bred enough to be... expensive. He was cheaper than he should have been tho because he's a dick and Thomas Moorland was totally down to sell him to the first person who asked. Even if that person happened to be an 18 year old girl who had just gotten absolutely bodied by him. (He wasn't actually planning on selling Shoji, but Justin's got his little "pairing people with their Perfect horsie" skills, and he said it was a good idea.) I guess her house would actually be her most expensive purchase but who gaf about that. horsie. Alina didn't actually pay for either by herself, though, she used daddy's money <3<3

Technically all of her income is disposable, but we don't need to talk about that LFNJNS She does buy a lot of clothes I will admit. Some of them just stay in her closet forever. like girl why did you get this if you're not going to wear it =_= Lots of fast food, as well. Sometimes she is too lazy (see; tired and ill) to make food, so she orders in. Or she wants to treat her friends. MOST IMPORTANTLY- Treats for her beautiful little baby boy. Snacks and toys and movie tickets. and robux even though he doesn't have hands to play Roblox. Lots of random frivolous shit. She loves that kid.

also ydris stole her debit card and who knows what he's doing with it

6. Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child?

Alina is an only child. As of right now, she was very secluded growing up, only being close with her father. Whether she had many friends during school doesn't matter much, because those relationships were superficial and didn't survive very long past graduation. The closest thing she has to a 'sibling' is(/was?) the horse she's had since she was a kid. Thunder was "just a horse" until they moved to Jorvik, where Alina discovered that she had a small amount of magic -and thus sapience, which helps to explain their closeness. :3

(In many of my AUs where Jorvik doesn't exist, Shoji is human, and they've been close friends since they were children. He has a brother, Slade, and she views Slade as something of an older sibling because he did a lot of babysitting when she was younger.)

what is alina's favourite holiday? does she have a favourite place in jorvik? does she like the keepers of aideen? & what's her personal grooming/self care routine? (:

\^-^/ heyooo

Will answer under a readmore because I love 2 yap

What is Alina's favourite holiday?

I think she definitely likes Christmas. She likes giving people presents and she loves baking and she likes the aesthetics of it all (sweaters and snow and glowing lights and just glittery Everything !!!) She also loves spending time with her family YIPPEE!

Valentine's Day is also Up There, but not because she has a pookie or anything. (Her romantic prospects thus far have been a Vampire!Gerard Way x Reader longfic on ao3, and going on a "totally normal, casual trail ride" with Lisa during spring #galpals) V-Day is Shoji's birthday!! and Alina loves showering him in strawberry treats, love-themed decorations, pink tack, and the like.

(Alina's favourite thing is spoiling other people, apparently.)

So anyway... Christmas !

Does she have a favourite place in Jorvik?

Not particularlyy uh she kind of just vibes. She likes to chill at home, she likes hanging out at the beach or the mall, she likes going as fast as Shoji can possibly run out in the Everwind fields. You know how it is.

She does fairly often make a habit of staying at Starshine Ranch, it's fun there and she gets to hang out with her friends ! (raised eyebrow emoji)

Familiar Places > Exploring tho

Does she like the Keepers of Aideen?

No !!! please god someone get her out of here She didn't mind them at first, but that didn't last very long.

She and Shoji were messing around in the Hollow Woods, happened upon some weird tall rocks, those rocks (the Sun Circle rune specifically) started glowing, and then suddenly a bunch of people wanted her to hang out with them. She was fine with it, but then they started yapping about, like, magic and inter-dimensional threats and goddesses and weird stuff. Oh yeah, and then it turned out that she didn't even have the magic they were looking for, so they didn't really want her help after that? But she already knew all about the Soul Riders and the talking squirrel and all of that... And she'd met and bonded with Jesse at that point, so they kind of just had to keep her? Even if she would just end up being a liability...

But Jesse? Jesse was helpful. (I can't lie, I haven't figured out how yet! Maybe the wild herds have ~special magic~ thanks to their tree, frick if i know.) So anyway, they wanted Jesse, and he needed to be with his Rider, so Alina got to stay!

When she started hanging out with Ydris, because somehow she trusted him more than she trusted them (with a Pandorian kid btw like yeah obviously he's gonna know more about it 🙄), they did NAWT like it. But it was okay because 1) she and Jesse weren't really hanging out all that much anymore, so they could like... just have him (😔😔💔) 2) she and Ydris became friends and he helped her figure out her magic (which she DOES have btw! it was just locked in her soul bond and she couldn't access it without help kyaaa) And with her new Literal Child that she found adopted, it did not take very long for her to shift most of her alliances from the KoA to Pandoria *blinks cutely*

Which obviously pissed them off more.

She's still friends with the Soul Riders, she's the one who convinced Ydris to help save Fripp, she wants the whole Garnok thing to be neutralized... but she also recognizes that Pandoria is not the evil place the Keepers claimed it was, and she more-than recognizes that it is NOT OKAY to just leave Garnok where he is, like !!

but that's easier said than done so like. fuck. she's just one person. and she'd been told for over a year that the most special thing about her was her Soul Horse who doesn't even like her.

um. anyway.

What's her personal grooming/self care routine?

I answered one like that here :3 She likes her routine even if it's rather simple ;v;

i just remembered that alina used to have a bad habit of making Too Many Baked Goods and just breaking and entering to gift them to strangers LFMSKNJ

so if your OC lives near Moorland or Silverglade, they've probably found a mysterious pie on their doorstep at least once 👍

[alinasteelcrest]

Are these even recognizable as the Dark Riders or am I just nuts.

big shouts to @/mistfallenjoyer for suggesting Tigerstar-clone Sabine. You were SO right for that.

[alinasteelcrest]

HEY that's MY emotional support morally ambiguous misunderstood full of trauma touch starved yearning for love drenched in blood responsible for numerous atrocities comfort character who is TRYING & u will TREAT them with RESPECT

SLEEPWALK

(spoilers for future, unwritten chapters of the Fate of Vilda Ravenhill, but honestly this just asks more questions than it answers)

FINALLY THIS IS DONE. I spent a good four days animating and editing although honestly I wasn't keeping track of time. This is definitely? My longest animated project to date? Or animation meme or whatever you wanna call it. Song is Sleepwalk by Forrest Day.... Characters featured are Ve Dragontooth and Mr Sands. Idk what else to say. Enjoy

[alinasteelcrest]

i aint never seen two pretty best friends

she dragged his tall self down to take a selfie and his stupid-ass cheekbone stabbed her in the eye #happypride

[alinasteelcrest]

howdy!! do you associate your ocs with any flowers? ☺️

What a cute question ughghgh I'm not very well-versed in anything related to flowers. I see one and go "ooh pretty!" and that's about it sjkandkajdka I like silver bells for Alina. They look light and delicate, and they sometimes feel a little melancholic. And they're normally white which yknow. greyscale palette yippee They're just kind of simple and pretty, and idk any details further than that LMAO

My horsie Thunder I tend to associate with wildflowers in general, though I specifically like yellow and light blue for her. My friend also suggested snapdragons, which are very pretty. So for Thunder... Yellow-orange snapdragons and whatever this blue thing is!

(I looked up flowers that might look like that one, and pretty much every blue flower ever is toxic to horses so =_= we're just going to say that Jorvik has variants that are safe and pretty okayyyyy <3 )

[alinasteelcrest]

Anne heard it was pride month

[alinasteelcrest]

did someone say pride lockscreens? Other SSO Lockscreens by me: (1) , (2) Feel free to download and use, just dont take credit as your own <3

[alinasteelcrest]

Happy birthday, Jesse. I think we had a good one.

[alinasteelcrest]

Soulmates as a horror concept.

You WILL love this person. It doesn't matter who you loved before; any feelings you had, any promises you made, they will become inconsequential as soon as you lock eyes with the stranger Fate has picked for you.

There's no way to stop it.

There's no way to say "no."

You will meet someone and with a single glance, both of you will become someone new, someone who's now bound to this stranger whether you like it or not, want it or not.

Trapped in a dance together until the day you die.
