How do your character(s) sleep?

Do they go to bed early or stay up late?

When they say they’re “going to bed” do they actually mean they’re going to sleep or do they mean they’re going to read/play on their phone/etc in bed for a while?

What do they wear when they sleep? (if anything at all)

Do they watch/listen to anything to help them fall asleep?

Do they sleep with a night light on or prefer total darkness?

What position do they sleep in?

Do they cuddle/snuggle with anything while they sleep?

Do they have insomnia or do they fall asleep easily?

How many hours of sleep do they get?

Are they a heavy sleeper or a light sleeper?

[conflictedcompromise]

Culpa: something fruity, like a strawberry daiquiri

Asa: mixed drink with a lot of ingredients, especially if it has a goofy name like “sunset drive with a puppy and a monkey”

Leanto: liquor, or cherry bombs

Greg: beer.

WHAT ARE YOUR CHARACTER(S) ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE OF CHOICE?

Trinkets, 36: Interesting baubles, semi magical objects and items touched by mystery.

A set of technical diagrams to create a weapon of unspeakable power. The diagrams are hundreds of years old and show how to make a trebuchet.

A stunning broach, embedded with a misty quartz crystal.

A flat, otherwise unremarkable pearlescent-white overcoat button about an inch across. It is heavier than it should have any right to be. It practically vibrates with barely contained magical force.

The severed claw of some monstrous scaled creature, preserved and formed into a camping stool.

A human skull, yellowed with age, with the jawbone wired in place with fine copper wire. The skull has been etched with very fine runes, visible only in bright light, that identify it with the name of “Jerimr”. When the skull’s name is spoken aloud by someone holding it in their left hand, it will rise into the air and assume a position over his left shoulder, hovering unsupported.

An opaque, black eyepatch that the bearer can see through perfectly.

Bag of Useless Junk. A tattered burlap sack that jingles as if it were full of broken glass, rusty nails and wooden scraps even when empty. The bag actually generates its own trash and three times per day, the bearer can reach into the sack and withdraw a Random Worthless Trinket. 

An ornate bullseye lantern adorned with gold filigree and sun patterns.

A carved rosewood relief depicting half-men, half-rhinos whipping peasants into an oven.

An illustration of a silver tabby cat with these words on what seems to be a flyer: “Lost kitty. Responds to the name ‘Mankiller.’ Please return to Alda’s Alchemy Shoppe if found. Reward provided—higher if alive. Do not feed or raise from the dead. He bites; wounds will be treated. You kill him, you will be cursed and haunted by something that is utterly unholy and has a somewhat questionable sense of humour.”

(this can be tweaked in any way to fit your otp :p)

“i’m one of those talk show stars that walks up to random people on the streets and asks them really obscure questions, and you’re really cute and camera shy and i’m sorry but it’s adorable how you stutter when you’re nervous, uh, perhaps when there aren’t so many cameras surrounding me i can buy you a drink?” au

“we’re coworkers and all the other employees ship us so just for fun we all go out clubbing/to a bar but little do we know its actually a plot they set up to get us to realize our supposed love for each other. wait you’re actually a really good dancer and your laugh is so endearing and, holy shit, maybe our colleagues were right” au

HEY ARTISTS!

Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:

OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–

There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)
