OCs as Planets

I was tagged by @stephschoices​ and @dakotawritesif​ to do this uquiz for any OCs of my choice. The free online banner maker I used is here.

I tag anyone who wants to do it!

Now, one OC for every planet, in order of creation:

Valencia Talward is my MC for @shepherds-of-haven​

Jupiter 

optimistic. hopeful. generous and compassionate. you are the guardian angel. you are 4:44 am and a sense of being watched over. you enrich the lives of others just by existing and caring for them. you give as many blessings as you receive and there is always more to go around. be careful not to become too over-confident in these abilities. what makes you jupiter is your belief that ego has no part in caring and love. you are softness and the smell of almond coffee.

Dorothea Fairchild is my MC for Perfumare: Avulsion by @pdrrook​

Uranus 

innovative. unpredictable. resourceful. imaginative. creativity in science and disruption. oh, uranus. you were dealt the cards that don't have much to offer, but luckily you can always make them work. you are acrylic paint that has been plastered over the same canvas so many times that it is starting to have those little grooves of texture. you are ever-changing and suddenly it stops. and starts again. keep moving. nothing is wrong with not wanting to sit still.

Ella Wiseman is my MC for Mind Blind by @mindblindbard​

Mercury 

clever. intelligent and witty. wisdom, sharpness, anxiety and indecisiveness. you are the comedian. the "make someone laugh if they are crying" kind of lover. you don’t want to think too much about anything because that stops you from just having fun, but your brain doesn't ever shut off. you are curious and never ending. forecast and shadows. the smell of clean sheets.

Evie Amell is my MC for The Fernweh Saga by @lacunafiction​

Earth

nurturing, generous and caring. introverted, tolerant, honest and trustworthy. you are "my phone is always on, call me any time." you are "i feel like i'm everyone's therapist." you are impressive with your stability and peacefulness. you are wallpapers of cows and fields of ever-growing seeds. you are the best friend. mother nature. ice cold water and the smell of rain.

Cynuise aka The Harbinger of Calamity is my MC for Fell Star by @justpked​

Saturn 

patient. stable. reliable. persevering and diligent. your capacity to hold focus on something you choose to is unmatched by all other planets. you were made for hard work that you love and that you know is rewarding. you are the shoulder that everyone wants to cry on, so remember you can lean on yourself when it seems there is no one else. there is nothing wrong with being self sufficient. you are justice and evenly balanced scales.

Asteria Violette Gaudare is my MC for Beyond the Spider Lilies by @justpked​

Venus 

passionate. romantic. loving to be loved. courtship. adoration and taste. you are your own personal aesthetic. you are hand written love letters in copper ink. you are "let me show you just how much i can love you." you are royalty and class. love has no bounds with you. your heart is wrapped in chocolate tin foil. you attract what you manifest so keep believing in love. it is you and you, it.

Evandra Vailia is my MC for @reapersbayif​

Mars 

passion. energy. drive. determination. you are in tune with yourself and your body and if you don't already feel it, please try to tune into it because it is so powerful. you are at war with yourself and life and it doesn't always have to be so hard. anger is not a useless emotion but do not let it control you. love is more powerful than hatred will ever be. you are the smell of fresh cut grass and the satisfaction of a job well done.

Fallon Rose is my MC for Underfell IF and Mafiafell IF by @darkpetal16​

Neptune 

mercy. kindness. sweet. forgiving and compassionate. you are second chances and sometimes third. you are "its ok because everyone makes mistakes." you are "i forgive you as long as you are learning." you are not held down by the demands of your ego. you believe in right and fair. open mindedness and friendship. you are mystical and magical, observant and the smell of warm bread in the morning.

HOUND I need a name for this guy. he’s a late night show host (like Jimmy Fallon) and he’s weirdly obsessed with crystals (he’s also fruity and has absolutely NO filter)

Okay, I'm not gonna get in the habit of naming other people's characters, BUT: since I've got an idea, you get one: Phil Agate.

I think it sounds vaguely like a celebrity name. Chris would also work as a first name as it sounds like crystal. Agate works as a surname as it's both a type of crystal and it's also one letter off 'agape', which denotes people doing this face when something shocking is said ":O", which fits into his lack of a filter.

The next layer is really dumb. I derived Phil from Philia, meaning 'brotherly love' in ancient Greek. It's where we get the suffix we use in English for carnal desire. While the ancient context refers to platonic love, given the common ancient definition of 'brotherly love' + the decidedly less platonic modern definition, this would be a way to work in the fruity aspect of his character into the name (there's definitely a connection as most gay guys I know love ancient Greek legends and I even see some gay guys describe themselves as 'Achillean' online.)

The final layer is: Philia is actually one of 3 ancient greek words for love. The other two are Eros (for sexuality, where we got the word 'erotic' in english) and... Agape, for god's love. Yes, coincidentally, it's the same word as before. So, Phil Agate has references to sexuality, crystals and (in agape being a near homophone), shocking dialogue. And it ties both names together through agape's two meanings.

So, here you go, a genuinely constructed DT pun-name. Hope this helps!

[theinsanecrayonbox]

“Boy, it sure does take a lot for you to draw your character, huh?” Lol, well...I like doing the full art pack cause it helps me get into character, figure out their deals, and prune down their character playlist to evoke vibes to do the above. So...yeah. I also like having detailed reffs on hand, so I can keep on model in 6 months when I wanna draw them again in a bikini lol.

Tomb of Annihilations is over, Candi has gone back to magic college with her wizard to live happily ever after until Red Wizards or Eldritch Horrors come for them, so time to move onto the next epic; Spelljammer! Thus, meet S’tara Fallon, my Astral Elf Circle of Stars Druid (yes she doesn't get her subclass yet, but that’s what I’m going for nonetheless). She found herself on the Material plane during/after a meteor shower, with vague hazy memories of who she was/where she’d come from. She finds herself restless on the ground, and most energetic at night, so I guess it’s a good thing she’s going to space soon lol.

Honestly, I didn’t intend to build another char that was pink...with blue accents...and inverted eyes...and teleporting...with potential eldritch ties...haha whoops lol. But hey, she’s got a bow! I never get to play archer! And archery goes with her shooting/falling star theme. So that’s different...lol.

Name meaning is “Fallen Star” on purpose, but several ways. S’tara visually looks like “star”, but is from the name Sitara which means “star”, and at the same time can be pronounced like “si-tera” wherein “tera” goes to earth. Fallon sounds like “falling” or “fallen” but is also “fall on”. I like name puns, you should all know that by now.

So that leaves us with playlist, right? As always, this is every evolving, but for now;

Universe on Fire by Gloryhammer

Glad You Came by The Wanted

Counting Star (rock cover) by No Resolve

Blinding Light (in the style of Depeshe Mode) by Anthony Vincent

Stark Walkin’ (rock cover) by Lunity

The Nights (pirate/rock cover) by Melodicka Bros

She Keeps me Up by Nickalback

[spacesuitsforemergency]

Fallon Wilson and Genevieve Barnes

⁃ Fallon is Sam Wilson’s daughter, and Ginny is the daughter of Bucky Barnes and Natasha Romanoff (both are 17) (I’m going off MCU timeline here)

⁃ Bucky and Natasha had their DNA combined by scientists or whoever since Natasha is infertile

⁃ Y’Know when heroes have that dramatic moment where they’re about to be defeated and they say ‘we need to call in the big guns’? In this case these two are the big guns

⁃ They work together so well, they were trained together by their dads and the rest of the Avengers since they were 10

⁃ Fallon is a robotics/machinery/mechanical genius, Ginny is a chemistry/general math and science/medical genius

⁃ Fallon does have a Falcon suit (and yes she’s aware her name is a whole pun). But she tweaked hers and made it better, it’s a lot more agile and quick than Sam’s used to be (she spruced his up for him as well)

⁃ Ginny was always determined to be as strong as her parents, so she found old notes and made her own super soldier serum (which both her and Fallon took, cause if one jumped off a cliff the other was right behind her)

⁃ They gained super strength, enhanced speed, agility, and senses. They’re strong enough to take on Captain Marvel. They’re big strong

⁃ Yeah, their dads and the Avengers were beyond pissed when they found out, but neither of them cared cause dude, they were super soldiers! Who cares what those stupid Avengers thought

⁃ But they were trained properly, and once they were able to take down all 6 OG Avengers, they were allowed out on the field

⁃ They totally stole the ‘I’m with you till the end of the line’ thing from Ginny’s dad, but it really does work for them too. Like yeah they fight constantly like Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but they’re loyal to the other and are childhood best friends

[ad_1] Fans of Breaking Bad will know that Walter White and Jesse Pinkman had a tumultuous relationship, to say the least. But from Season 1 all the way through to Season 5, there was undeniable chemistry (pun intended) between the actors who played Walt and Jesse, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. And while the two are extremely excited to be reprising their respective roles in the latest season of Better Call Saul – a prequel series to Breaking Bad, starring Bob Odenkirk – they’ve also recently cemented themselves as true, close friends in real life. Paul and his wife, actress Lauren Parsekian, have just had their second child together, a boy named Ryden and during an interview with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, – which you can watch below – Paul revealed he asked Cranston to be Ryden’s godfather.“I asked Bryan on his birthday if he would be our baby’s godfather. Yeah.”Paul then joked that Cranston said “no” but quickly clarified he, of course, said yes,“[Cranston] was very excited; very honoured. I love the man to death. You know, he’s one of my best friend’s in the world and, um, so yeah, it was a no-brainer.”It’s not super surprising that Paul offered Cranston the prestigious godfather title as the two have been close since Breaking Bad. The two got tattoos together on the last day of filming Breaking Bad and they also co-founded and own a mezcal company together, called Dos Hombres. Nonetheless, it’s incredibly sweet that Cranston is now the godfather of Paul’s son and our Breaking Bad hearts are full. Read Next Did you enjoy this story?

Death and Time

“I had hoped,” Hannibal stops himself before he could say anything more.

Of course they had to get stuck with a pretentious one. The moment they’d met was one for the ages. Literally. Death was unbecoming to one Hannibal Lecter in a very graceless way.

The subtle flirting was at times amusing. Then more bodies started dropping and souls needed collected. Each soul claimed to have a message for Death. A poem from the heart. It almost had Lee thinking the poems were handpicked for the soul itself. The deaths leading up to some secret surprise for Death alone.

Lee Fallon found themself falling and falling hard.

Just one thing stood in the way.

They were Death and Hannibal Lecter was only human.

There wasn’t anyway they could be together, even when Hannibal passed for the final time.

Their first meeting had been an accident.

The man blinked when he saw Lee, the scent of smoking ashes throwing him off. Then he looked around and found himself in his office still. Tobias Budge stood above him, he himself on his own desk in a strangle hold.

“Oh.”

“Bit off more than you could chew, Doctor Hannibal Lecter. This time was your finale. I can’t help but wonder what would happen.” The mysterious person grinned as they observed. The state Hannibal was in, from his body to his soul.

“It is quite the predicament. I suppose this has been coming to me. I thought I was careful but maybe with recent events I’ve become blind.” Hannibal replied with a smile himself. The pun from the other not lost on him. “Death comes for us all in the end. No matter how far we run or how old we live, you will always be there.”

A sickle appeared in a hand as well as a black hooded cloak covered the one standing in front of him. The image disappeared in an instant. Perhaps using the façade was unnecessary but it proved a point. It could not be hidden from those that chose to see.

“Yes, but at least I do try to take care of those that cross my path. None of my reapers wanted to touch you. I felt myself wondering why not. A soul who frightened my people who have seen gore and blood. The gruesome deaths gone wrong or right depending on who you ask. There has only been a handful of those in the last couple hundred years.” Death walked up to him and placed a ha on his shoulder. “Oh.” Gray blue eyes glowed in the owner’s skull. “Cannibal. An artful one. It is a wonder.”

“Not one you’re afraid of?”

“Please, dear. H. H. Holmes, Jack the Ripper, and Adolf Hitler didn’t scare me. What makes you think you might do what they couldn’t?” They snorted in disbelief.

Hannibal was silent. He looked the other up and down. It wasn’t in attraction or lust, just examination of what his eyes could catch. His mind went to Will Graham but this being was unlike the man. Death, it seemed, had taken him by surprise on this occasion. Entirely unpredictable like Will but in their own way.

“Do I remind you of someone? It’s probably because of the comfort it provides to the souls I reap myself.”

“A patient. He’s making himself very unforgettable. You don’t look exactly like him but in ways you do.”

“Let me guess. The face, hands, and somewhat of the body.”

Hannibal neither agreed nor disagreed. His thoughts were his and his alone.

“I’d like your name.”

Deep soulful eyes met his own maroon. A light smile at the corner of his lips softened his face. Their mouth opened to answer but only snapped shut to dart their eyes over to the fight.

Hannibal’s body breathed.

“Well, isn’t this different.”

“Your name.” Hannibal all but demanded. He could feel his soul being pulled back into the body that lay under Tobias. The other man had let go of his throat too early. For that he would pay dearly, but he needed Death’s name.

“I have no need for one. Haven’t for what feels like eons.” The eyes started glowing again.

“I would sell my soul to you to have it.”

The still glowing eyes moved immediately to Hannibal. There was a seriousness that the face took on rather than the laid back and relaxed look it had before.

“Why?”

“Why do I do anything?”

He knew Death’s attention was solely on him now. Hannibal would hate to disappoint.

“Why not?”

His soul was pulled back into his body without an answer.

The anger overtook him and in turn he made Tobias regret even going after him let alone his Will. When the stag statue was held over his head to deliver the final blow, he had his answer on the wind that fell into his ears. It would ring endlessly for the rest of the day. Syllables of sound that echo in his memory palace.

“Lee Fallon.”

JAY ELECTRONICA FT. JAY-Z & TRAVIS SCOTT - THE BLINDING

[5.67]

Jay Kay from Jamiroquai reportedly "busy"...

Andy Hutchins: People who have writing credits on "The Blinding": Jay Electronica, Jay-Z, PartyNextDoor, Travis Scott, Swizz Beatz, Hit-Boy, AraabMuzik. Of those, the last three have production credits. Really unsure why a meeting of the minds such as this -- or the greater one responsible for A Written Testimony -- produced a song most notable for a steam hiss and a 50-year-old rapper sounding much younger and more urgent than his 43-year-old contemporary! But Jay Elec's pose throughout his debut album is nigh repose: He treads a lot of the same ground he always did, and raps as the same infinitely self-assured kufi-wearer he's always been, only so much time has passed since he first commanded the stage that he now sounds like a throwback to his own talk of the Anunnaki, and stuff like "Don't he know I stay up for Fallon late nights?" sounds like a pathetic excuse even when it's followed breaths later by honesty about his fears of failing to meet his own hype. It's Jay Electronica; he is what he was and will be. More interesting is his elder's electric performance, the lion in winter wanting to show he can still hunt, but doing so via cameos that make him affirmatively a supporting actor. I suppose no amount of talent in the group can prevent the group project from sounding rushed when it was, even if the rush came at the end of 13 years, but the inertness of beats like "The Blinding" is most of what makes what could have been an unforgettable classic a fine album, but one that will still be forgotten. [5]

Leonel Manzanares de la Rosa: There's always been this aura of mystery, of "hermit saint coming down from the clouds" in Jay Elec's persona. We always thought that, once his long-awaited full length comes out, the Earth would shatter. We weren't right, but in the face of impending doom, his prophecy comes out just as holy, although it does lose a lot of power by hiding behind Jay-Z, the High Priest of Black Neoliberalism. [7]

Alfred Soto: Jay Electronica's raps aren't up to his beats, but with near-peak Jay-Z and hanging-in-there Travis Scott offering crucial support "The Blinding" realizes its ambitions. As for that beat, the hydraulic press hiss complements the unexpected clarity of a performer who can remark, "When I look inside the mirror/all I see are flaws." [7]

Edward Okulicz: If this came out in 2006, it would probably have sounded incredibly arresting and fresh. In 2020, it feels like overly buzzy, clumpy, cluttered beats have been done. Worse, they're getting in the way of some sharp Jay-Z bars. If you can tune the buzz out, which is easier on parts of the verses, and focus on the interjayplay, this is short, sharp and bracing. But there's too much going on that it occasionally hurts to hear. [6]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: One of the more cluttered sub-three-minute tracks I've heard in a while -- by the time you get Jay Electronica's riveting second verse, you've already received Swizz Beats doing his schtick, Travis Scott crooning, and a half-baked set of traded bars between the two Jays lined up around the word "sir." It's a Jay Electronica song that's great when it's a Jay Electronica song, but it's just tiring the rest of the time. [5]

Jackie Powell: "The Blinding" is a song of multiple chapters. The introduction, the exchanges between Electronica and Hova, Travis Scott's hook, the 25-second outro which includes an expansion on a piano rhythm that enters the track earlier, but is underneath it all at around a minute and thirty in. I'll break it down chapter by chapter. Chapter 1: The abrasive and unsettling inception. The complexity of the production, especially in the boisterous and unimpressive kickoff (sorry Fantano), is the result of too many cooks in the kitchen. I usually drool for any bassline or bass loop, but these sounds overwhelm rather than excite. Chapter 2: Jay Electronica and Jay-Z have a chemistry that is pure and undeniable. It's powerful in verse one (overshadowed by the bass) but then in verse two, there's a softness and a vulnerability. But in both verses, they enunciate. What a novel concept? There's nostalgia in the clarity of the flow. Chapter 3: Travis Scott's hook doesn't add anything that I don't receive in the verses. It feels overproduced and uninspired. The extra echo tacked on to Scott's final word. "Sun" sounds like "Suuuuuuhhhhnnnnn." Lastly, Chapter 4: the New Orleanian piano finally takes center stage for ten seconds to conclude. It's gorgeous but underdeveloped and I would have rather had it as a lede, even if it's a worthy kicker. The issue I have with "The Blinding", though, is how its brilliance is overshadowed by how perplexing its moments of mediocrity are. The writing is substantive, a bit religious (by the way, this loses a point because of an anti-Semitic reference made on another cut on the album) and introspective. Jay Electronica's inner critic speaks to him at the end of the second verse. But then a smooth hi-hat introduced at 1:39 can't shine. It doesn't have enough time to do so. Is the title ironic, maybe? Are these super producers, Swizz and Hit-Boy, a bit blind to the concept that less is more? Yep. [5]

Oliver Maier: Totally aimless, simultaneously overworked and underthought. Blown-out noise rap beats are no longer provocative enough to be inherently exciting, and the two Jays seem to be constantly building up to a point that never arrives. As a B-plot, Travis Scott provides what might be his feeblest feature to date, which is a real achievement. [3]

Ryo Miyauchi: The first verse almost hands you that Watch the Throne sequel some die-hards on KanyeToThe still clamor for, except Jay Elec stands as Hov's better foil. The beat is crunchy boom-bap in the style of that faux-brostep breakdown of "Paris" courtesy of the same architect, and the two Jays trade bars about third-eye conspiracies while Travis Scott sings a heavily Auto-Tuned hymn. They somehow run out of steam come the second, though, with Hov peacing out early, but not before dropping a Kate Bush pun. [5]

Jonathan Bradley: Next August will see the ten-year anniversary of Watch the Throne, and Jay-Z's presence on Jay Electronica's eternally deferred debut draws a thread connecting these two albums: one an imperial show of force that now marks a time and a relationship lost to history, the other a coronation that happened because it had to, even though it seemed like its moment had itself been lost to history. On "The Blinding," Jay and Jay lack the easy interplay built by friendship and interpersonal warmth that Kanye and Jay displayed on Throne, but their connection is real, productive, and mutually beneficial. Hov exhibits the good side of his aging self's predilection for meticulous and fussy couplets, using the epistrophe of "I named my son Sir, so you gotta call my son sir/He already knighted" to call back to his one-time imaginings of fatherhood on Throne's "New Day." Couplets like "The gift that keeps giving like babushka/Kush crushed up in the studio; rolling Kate Bush up" are a reminder of how wide-ranging and inventive he can be. But wide-ranging and inventive are qualities Jay Electronica has long been able to claim for himself; Hov's role here -- which, in a show of humility, is uncredited! -- is to bestow his decades-long pedigree and affirm that Electronica still has the lyrical heft to warrant his presence. And the headline attraction does hold his own. Jay Electronica's style combines dense traditionalist lyricism with earthy New Orleans imagery and -- most resonantly -- murmurs of political conspiracy and invocations of Abrahamic and Afrocentric syncretism. The last of these qualities gives his work an air of mysticism that intimates intellect and is somewhat bullshit, but is effective in suggesting that his words might obscure psychedelic depths. So, yes, Jay Electronica is a "stowed-away captive a long way home from Zion," "the return of the lost-and-found tribe of Shabazz," "the return of the Mahdi," but his best lyric winks at his circuitous path to the present day: "Extra, extra!; it's Mr. Headlines/Who signed every contract and missed the deadlines." Incorrigible. [8]
