Susanna doodles!!!

I drew my noblesse oc from my Millennium AU, Susanna Mergas! She is the second child of Ludis Mergas and Rozaria Elenor, and the younger sister of Alois Elenor. She goes by the nickname Susa, and a few others.

1. Susanna painting!!! She is very cute and has big eyes and a round face just like her father Ludis. Her eyebrows are short and oval-shaped. She parts her bangs sideways and her super long, wavy locks that extend beyond her knees flow like waves when she moves. Interestingly, her hair never gets in her way even when she’s running and jumping around like hyper gymnast. It’s a real mystery to everyone. She’s very extroverted and cheerful, and always full of energy. Life is never boring around her, as she always has fun things to do! Millennium AU Lukedonia is only functioning thanks to her lol. She’s probably looking at you right now and thinking about dragging you to her next tea party. There’s no other escape, new best friend! Lol. Despite her tiny stature, she’s surprisingly strong. All that junk food probably worked their way into her muscle fibers, as Ludis jokes. All you need to do is sit down and enjoy the dozens of assorted sweets she brings out from the Mergas manor. There’s also ramyeon flavored macarons, if you like that kind of stuff, hehe! She’s got you covered.

2. Susa tries on a beautiful outfit! Very much Izarok themed. It probably belonged to one of Ludis’ female predecessors/ancestors and is a Mergas heirloom of some sort. It’s been a looong while since this outfit was last worn by someone. Ludis found it in his manor, and he gives it to his daughter. As expected, she looks absolutely stunning in it. Susa loves it! Her parents love it too. Alois is very moved by his sister’s cuteness. Awwwwww.

3. Lil’ Susa and her mother Rozaria! They are super close and very affectionate with each other. One of Susa’s favorite things to do as a child was playing with mami’s long, red hair. She still loves to do so even in adulthood, and Rozaria is more than happy to bond with her personal stylist! Susa also has a sweet tooth. It’s probably in her dna or something, because she inhales them like a blackhole. If she were human she would’ve gotten cavities a billion times already. Luckily, she’s a noble, so that doesn’t happen lol. Still, Ludis and Rozaria prefer to monitor their bab’s junk food intake, so other than retrieving the occasional treat, Ludis has barrier spell put up around their pantry. In the very, very rare cases where he forgets… well, you can guess what happens lol. Mommy Roza is worried about her daughter’s tummy, but Susa is actually more than fine lol. Ludis is surprised but amused. Better not forget next time, oops

4. Susa and Ludis part 1! By conventional noble standards, Susa was a bit of a slow learner, a late bloomer. As the Millennium AU progresses she does get very powerful and becomes the promising Mergas heiress, but not many people know that she has struggled for a while, especially in her childhood. Luckily, Ludis is a great parent and he is a pretty chill person in general so he never pressures Susa. He even modifies the traditional “standard” Mergas training curriculum just for his daughter, even when Lord Raskreia questions him for it. Hey, are no real enemies in the outside world anymore, right? Surely we can take it one step at a time. Lil’ Susa is aware of how she is doing compared to her peers, and it sometimes overwhelms her. Poor girl. Ludis being the supportive parent he is will do anything for his daughter and he lets her know that he’s always there for her. This father-daughter bond would later be forged in iron. Best dad.

5. Susa and Ludis part 2! After a wee timeskip to 80 years later, Susa is now a young teen at 100! Susa’s persistence and hard work, as well as Ludis’ unconditional love and support, pays off. Susa manages to successfully conjure a simple barrier spell. This moment is a huge milestone for Susa and she’ll remember it forever. Ludis is super proud of his bab. Roza and Alois are probably crying tears of joy too. Susa’s just so amazing, isn’t she?

6. Sibling bonding time!! Ludis and Rozaria are busy with stuff and are outside, so the siblings get housesitting duty, and some time to spend with each other. They got the entire manor aaallll to themselves lol. Ludis summons Izarok and leaves it with his kids to entertain them and of course Susa gets a hot pot started. Nothing beats comfy pajamas and great food. Fun fact, Alois isn’t really a fan of vegetables, though Mommy Roza knows that Susa will take good care of him. Eventually he won’t be able to say “no” if it’s his sister, lol. C’mon just one bite, you gotta eat your green foods too Al!

7. Susanna x Arya! They are the only “official” couple in my nextgen cast. Everyone else either hasn’t confessed yet, the crush is single-sided, or … something more complicated. Arya K. Landegre is the daughter of Regis and Rael. Susa and Ari are very loving and affectionate girlfriends and have a great relationship. They are each other’s soulmates. Much later in the AU they eventually marry each other.

8. Susanna x Arya what if babies! Susa/Ari is official and they eventually marry, but the next-next-gen doesn’t “exist” to me in my Millennium AU so these two babs are just a concept and don’t happen in the “main” Millennium AU timeline. Even so, they’re very cute lol. If Susa and Ari ever have kids of course they’ll name them something very unconventional and nonconforming to noble traditions, lol. Cute sons. Precious babs spoiled rotten by their mamas.

NEW AND IMPROVED: incorrect FNAF quotes

Uh just forget all the previous posts I can't remember half the quotes I made and also some of them are outdated lore-wise or headcanon-wise so time for a grand reopening of the series(?). May have done some of these quotes exactly the same in the past but heck if I know-

Contains: Headcanons, spoilers for Ruin, hopefully no big mistakes/words I forgot to replace

Speaking of headcanons: I hc that the "classic fnaf" era night guards are all the fnaf 4 bullies. So Michael, Fritz, Jeremy, and the last one is entirely an OC (whom I had described in my old quotes posts but I've renamed her now 'Cus I accidentally gave her the same name as a BATIM character whoops-): Susanna "Susie" Hudson. She's the FNAF 3 guard.

as was before, I get these quotes from the perchance generator and just insert the characters in manually.

quotes under the cut:

Gregory (seeing that one unexplained room): Is… Is that meant to be on fire? Roxanne Wolf: No… not really. Gregory: Are you going to do something about it? Roxanne Wolf: Hm… nah.

Michael Afton: Sometimes I wonder if I’m hearing voices. Michael Afton: Then I remember that’s the last bit of sanity I have trying to get me to fall asleep at a reasonable time.

Mangle: You know the sound a fork makes in the garbage disposal? That's the sound that my brain makes all the time.

Susanna Hudson: I’m genuinely surprised you haven’t gotten arrested, let alone gotten a felony yet. Fritz Smith: Nat 20 Charisma. Susanna Hudson: That is NOT how that works-

Golden Freddy: If karma doesn't hit you, I fucking will. -

Mangle: I don’t care what anyone thinks about me. Withered Foxy: Ok. Mangle: Wait, why such a muted reaction? Did that not sound cool?

Mangle: Welcome to Fucking Applebees, do you want apples or bees? Jeremy Fitzgerald: Bees? Mangle: HE HAS SELECTED THE BEES! Jeremy Fitzgerald: Wait- *Toy Chica approaches, shaking a jar of bees menacingly* ('Twas but an allegory for the Bite of 87-)

Fritz Smith: I wasn’t that drunk. Jeremy Fitzgerald: You colored my face with a highlighter because you said I was important. Fritz Smith: BECAUSE YOU ARE! -

The Puppet: Bonnie, are you drinking… drinking hydrogen peroxide?! Toy Bonnie: It says H2O2! That means it’s the sequel to water! -

Michael Afton: I'm not a morning person. I'm barely even a person.

Circus Baby: Pardon me, but it sounds like you’re questioning my authority! Funtime Foxy: Not at all, Baby. Merely your primitive methods.

Crying Child (FNAF 4), after having a nosebleed: Welp. Time to wash the blood off my hands.

Gregory: Can we go to a haunted house? Vanessa: What’s wrong with the one we live in? Gregory: Wh-what? Vanessa: Goodnight, Gregory.

Toy Bonnie: Here is my wall of inspirational people. Withered Bonnie: Is that a picture of you? Toy Bonnie: Yes, I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself.

The Mimic: I have one of your friends. Glamrock Freddy: Which one? I have seven. The Mimic: The loud, annoying, rowdy one who never shuts up. Glamrock Freddy: Which one? I have seven. Roxanne Wolf, distantly: HEY!!!

Michael Afton: What’s the status up here? Fritz Smith: Fucked up, about to die, Jeremy's a nerd. The usual.

Roxanne Wolf: You're pathetic! Gregory: You're pathetic-er! Vanny: You're both losers.

*Comments under an image of a really hot knife cutting bread* Molten Freddy: Imagine stabbing someone with this knife. Helpy: It would instantly cauterize the wound, so the person wouldn't bleed, so it's not very useful. Rockstar Chica: if you want information it is Music Man: why would you STAB a person when you can have TOAST?

Ennard: I’ve never been in a snowball fight before. I don’t know the rules. Michael Afton: What? Ennard: Is there a point system, or is it to the death?

*Michael Afton rushes by with an armful of water bottles* Funtime Chica: What's going on? Rockstar Foxy: Mike wouldn't drink water. Funtime Chica: …And? Rockstar Foxy: And I asked him how fast he could chug an entire bottle. Michael Afton, loudly: 16 OUNCES IN TEN SECONDS, BITCHES!

Roxanne Wolf: Sometimes I talk to myself for no reason. Roxanne Wolf: Me too!

Montgomery Gator: Do you think different paints have different tastes? Glamrock Chica: They do. Glamrock Freddy: …Why did you say that with such certainty?

William Afton: You might not know this, Henry, but I am a flawed person. Henry Emily: I do know that.

William Afton: I could kill you if I wanted. Michael Afton: Yeah? So could any other human being. So could a dog. So could a dedicated duck. You aren't special.

Dee Dee: If I can't cause tiny bits of chaos every day, I think my body will shut down.

Funtime Freddy: I have one brain cell and it bounces around in my skull like a windows screen saver. Funtime Freddy: When it hits a corner perfect, I’m allowed one good idea.

Cassie: You're ignoring all your problems. Eclipse: I know. Cassie: You also know it's an unhealthy coping mechanism? Eclipse: I'm ignoring that fact as well. Cassie:

Withered Foxy: What do people in relationships even do? Toy Freddy: Care about someone with your whole heart and dedicate your life to making them happy. Withered Foxy: Okay. Didn't ask. Toy Chica: Asks question Toy Chica: "Didn't ask" Withered Foxy: Thanks for the play by play, Captain Fuck.

Withered Foxy: BB? What are you doing here? Balloon Boy, standing in the office: My best.

The Squad: *walking around the Pizzaplex* Moon: Hey, have any of you guys seen Chica? She's been gone for a while.. Vanessa: Eh, nope. Montgomery Gator: No, I haven’t… Roxanne Wolf: Probably ran off to get pizza or something. Glamrock Chica: Hey. Moon: Ooh, there you are- Vanessa: What the fu- Roxanne Wolf: I- where were you?! Glamrock Chica: Walking right behind you guys.

Funtime Freddy: Bon-Bon! Eggs Benedict got that thing on the control panel working! Bon-Bon: Wow! That looks pretty impressive. Funtime Freddy: Yeah! Bon-Bon: Any idea what it does? Funtime Freddy: Not a clue.

Gregory: I just learned a way to get stuff on the cheap. Steal it!

Cassie: You have to apologize to Roxy! Gregory: Fine! Gregory: Unfuck you, or whatever!

Michael Afton: Rockstar Bonnie just said "I have an appetite for destruction" and then he reached down and untied my shoe.

Gregory: School sucks. Vanessa: I know, but you have to do it so you can get a job. Gregory: What are jobs like? Vanessa: They suck.

The Mimic: I am literally evil incarnate. The Mimic: I’m not actually, I just enjoy being evil. The Mimic: Which I think actually makes it even more evil because I’m making a conscious effort.

William Afton: Something’s off. Henry Emily: Maybe you’ve finally developed human emotions and feel bad for hurting people. William Afton: No, but that’s funny.

Montgomery Gator: Do you ever think? Because I do not.

Gregory: What language do they speak at the center of the earth? Gregory: Core-ean Glamrock Freddy: The center of the earth is arond 5430 degrees Celsius! Nobody is going to live there so they don’t need a language! Vanessa: Core-ean.

Toy Bonnie: I don’t know the first thing about clothes. Pretty much all I can do is look at something and tell you if it’s clothes or not. This chair? Not clothes.

Roxanne Wolf: How would you like your hair cut? Montgomery Gator: Preferably with scissors, but a sword could be badass.

Withered Chica, looking at her reflection: Now, that's rubbish. Who's that supposed to be? Toy Chica: Well, that's you. Withered Chica: Me?! Is that what I look like? Toy Chica You don't know? Withered Chica: Busy day.

Withered Bonnie, to Toy Bonnie: All right, let’s tell each other a secret about ourselves. I’m going to go first– I hate you.

Jeremy Fitzgerald: We need to distract these guys. Fritz Smith: Leave it to me. Fritz Smith: Centaurs have six limbs and are therefore insects. Discuss. Toy Freddy & Toy Bonnie: *immediately begin arguing*

Susanna Hudson: Coca Cola can remove rust from metal, imagine what it’s doing to your body. Fritz Smith: Pfff, getting rid of the rust, idiot. Susanna Hudson: THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS! Michael Afton: Hmm… I've been drinking soda and my body's rust free… not sure where you're getting your facts from…

Circus Baby: What’s wrong? You look 10 seconds away from ripping someone’s throat out. Ballora: Fucking Freddy and Foxy were trying to invoke one of the minor gods again last night. I didn't get an ounce of sleep, thanks to their bloody chanting.

Circus Baby: All in all, a 100 successful trip. Funtime Freddy: But we lost Bon-Bon. Circus Baby: All in all, a 100 successful trip!

(FNAF humans be like:)

Susanna Hudson: *fills up bottle and drinks from that* Vanessa: *brought 4 bottles of water so this wouldn’t happen* Cassie: *drinks straight from the tap* Crying Child: *dehydrates* Gregory: *drinks from the puddle of water on the floor* Michael Afton: *licks the tap, doesn’t even need a drink*

Cassie: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of abandonment and my anxiety. I’ll wait. Gregory: You and me! Cassie: *tearing up* Ok.

(we can pretend the ending never happened just a bit-)

Chica: Why's it called an oven when you of in the cold food and you of out hot eat the food? Freddy: …What???

Gregory, holding a scooter: Vanessa! Can I go outside and play with this? Vanessa Sure, whatever. I'm not your parent, okay? Gregory, running outside: Thanks Vanessa! Vanessa, running out after him and screaming: NOT ON THE STREET! STAY AWAY!

Jeremy Fitzgerald: Look, last night was a mistake. Fritz Smith: A sexy mistake. Jeremy Fitzgerald: No, just a regular mistake.

Mangle: Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, and wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. Toy Freddy: That's deep. Toy Bonnie: That means that ketchup is a smoothie. Toy Freddy: That's deeper. The Puppet: …You guys are idiots.

RWQFSFASXC: I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally.

Withered Chica: You know, when I first met you I thought you were a real bitch. Toy Chica: What changed your mind? Withered Chica: Oh, I still think you're a bitch. I've just grown to like that about you.

Freddy: Don't break someone's heart, they only have one. Golden Freddy: Break one of their bones instead, they have 206 of them.

*1987's game of Among Us in real life* Jeremy Fitzgerald: I believe Fritz is innocent, I was with them the whole time. Mr. Afton, what were you doing? William Afton: Oh, I was just murdering… I mean, nothing!

Toy Bonnie: Is the pink panther a lion? Withered Bonnie: Say that again but slower. Toy Bonnie: I don’t get it. Withered Bonnie: He’s a PANTHER. Toy Bonnie: Is that a type of lion? Withered Bonnie: No, it’s a fucking panther. Toy Bonnie: *googles panther* They aren't pink? Withered Bonnie: AND LIONS ARE?!

Henry Emily: Do you have any skeletons in your closet? William Afton: Literally or figuratively? Henry Emily: I have to specify?

Bonnie: Yesterday, I watched Foxy try to eat a decorative rock from the night guard's potted plant. The Puppet caught him, and told him that he can't eat rocks. Chica started whining something about no food being in the house before walking away.

Susanna Hudson: I spy with my little eye something that begins with the letter “s”. Michael Afton: *looks over at Fritz Smith and Jeremy Fitzgerald* Michael Afton: Is it “sexual tension”?

Gregory, after acquiring the Fazer-blaster: The ‘how the fucks’ and 'why are you so dumbs’ don’t matter. All that matters is that I have a new gun.

*after discussing the plan to burn down Fazbear's Fright* Susanna Hudson: Does anyone have any questions? Jeremy Fitzgerald: Is this legal? Susanna Hudson: Does anyone have any relevant questions?

Dee Dee: Don’t worry, I have a permit. Old Man Consequences: …This just says “I can do what I want”.

Fritz Smith: You look good in that hoodie. Jeremy Fitzgerald: You know where else I'd look good? Fritz Smith, zero hesitation: My bed. Jeremy Fitzgerald, at the same time: By your side- wait, what?

Helpi: Fun Fact! The average person will walk by 36 murderers in their lifetime. Cassie: I like how this is a "fun" fact. MXES: It's fun because they didn't decide to murder you.

Susanna Hudson: Just be careful, Mike! Michael Afton: heading out the door I'm always careful, Susie! Michael Afton: It's everything around me that's careless.

The Puppet: We are not mad. We are just disappointed. Golden Freddy: No, we are mad. The Puppet: Yes. We are. We are livid. But we are going to let this one slide. Golden Freddy: No, we’re not! The Puppet: I am not a mind reader, Cassidy!

Cassie: Do you take constructive criticism? Helpi: No, only cash or credit.

Roxanne Wolf: I typed "bitch" into my GPS and guess what? I'm in your driveway. Gregory: Roxanne Wolf: Vroom vroom, come out already.

Phone Guy: *Answers phone* Hello? Fritz Smith: It's Fritz Smith. Phone Guy: What did he do this time? Fritz Smith: No, it's me, phone guy. It's actually me. Phone Guy: What did you do this time?

Vanessa: I don’t think the therapist is supposed to say ‘wow’ that many times during their first session with a client, but here we are.

Golden Freddy, referring to the Fazbear Gang(tm): Those guys are dorks. The Puppet: Yes, but they’re my dorks.

Glamrock Chica: Are you busy? Montgomery Gator: No. Glamrock Chica: Want to do something? Montgomery Gator: Why would you try to ruin this for me?

Susanna Hudson: Go to hell! Springtrap: Oh! I’ve been there, thank you. I found it quite lovely.

Elizabeth Afton: When was the last time you cried? Crying Child: Uh 15 minutes ago, why?? Elizabeth Afton: really? That recent? Crying Child: Yeah *voice crack* is that an issue? starts crying again

JJ: So I can either do something dumb that could very well get me injured or I can listen to the Puppet and not do the thing, JJ: Well there’s a clear right answer here. JJ: *proceeds to throw five packs of mentos into a barrel full of diet coke*

Ennard: You have an impressive pain tolerance. Michael Afton: Thanks, it's the trauma.

Sun, dashing into the room: WHY AREN’T THE DISHES IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER?! Vanessa: …What does that even mean?!

Susanna Hudson, toward Michael Afton: Wow, left-handed AND British? You really are an illusion.

Freddy: We’re kind of missing something guys. Bonnie: Cohesion? Chica: Teamwork? Foxy: A general sense of what we’re doing? Golden Freddy: And the Puppet is not here. Chica: Oh, and that, yeah.

Michael Afton: Ennard, can you help me? All of my clothes keep disappearing for some reason. Ennard, wearing a hoodie that's 5 times bigger than their size: Spooky.

Roxanne Wolf: Tired of just deserving better. Gonna start taking it by force.

Scraptrap: *dies* Helpy: Timer starts now! When is he coming back? I say two months! Music Man: Bullshit. One month. Lefty: Nah, half a month. Rockstar Foxy, sobbing: WHAT ARE YOU DOING? SOMEONE JUST DIED! Mr. Hippo, scratching chin in thought: One week.

Michael Afton: I’ve been sleeping so little the past few nights that when I go to the alarm app, I click on the “power nap” button. I don’t set up alarms, I set up timers, Helpy.

Roxanne Wolf: Let’s not Gregory this into a worse situation than it already is. Gregory: Did you just use my name as a verb?

Scrap Baby: Tommorrow's garbage day. Molten Freddy: I can't believe they made a whole day dedicated to you.

Glamrock Freddy: *lifting weights* Montgomery Gator: Wow… He's so intense! Glamrock Chica: I wonder what drives him. Glamrock Freddy, internally: (Oh I am going to be SO good at giving hugs.)

Fritz Smith: The greatest trick the devil ever played was getting me banned from an all you can eat pizza buffet. Jeremy Fitzgerald: Why’d you get banned? Fritz Smith: Touched the bear. Jeremy Fitzgerald: … What bear? Fritz Smith: Feddy Fazbear

Just a moment of my OC’s Susanna and Amber. Susanna is always more likely to say what’s on her mind so if she finds another woman cute she will at least shoot her shot… Amber may also be attracted to women but this is still kinda surprising for her to be flirted with by a murderous entity.

Surprise!!!

My Danganronpa drawing is progressing fairly well, but it’s still far from finished, so in lieu of that, I have something else to share!

So, does anyone remember that drawing I made a few months ago of one of my OCs, Queen Susanna? The green lady with the fancy outfit and sword? No? Yeah? No?

Well, here’s one of her cohorts, the bright, handsome, and witty Prince Isaac!

This high-energy swordsman is Susanna’s second-in-command, and is gifted with the sword, hand-to-hand combat, singing, and dancing, not to mention having a great (if childish at times) sense of humor. And whereas Susanna has power over plants, this warrior has power over light, thus the sun design of his crown, hair, and...whatever the things on his boots are called. Boot crowns? ...I’ll go with that.

His theme of light is also reflected (no pun intended) in his rainbow collar, his moon badge, the star on his sword, and the aurora borealis design on the lower half of his outfit. He’s also a big fan of smiles, laughs, and jokes, thus the (admittedly sort of creepy) grin design on his armor. Don’t let his smile fool you, though, because much like Susanna, he can get quite serious in combat. He may rank below her, but his fighting style has spelled disaster for many an opponent. So...make sure you stay on his good side. 😉

And as much as I’d like to take credit for inventing all the fine details of this drawing myself, it was mostly stolen inspired by a picture of Fire Emblem’s Prince Marth.

You’ll notice a lot of similarities between the two characters’ outfits if you compare them -- the wrinkles in their outfits, their poses, the position of their swords, and so on. One of my favorite things about drawing is the ability to take characters, locations, items, etc. from other artists and pose and arrange them however you want (an ability which should, of course, be used wisely), so I had some fun copying parts of Marth’s appearance and pose while changing other parts to suit my character. Heh...“suit.” 😏

In case you’re wondering, there are more of these characters on the way (and I’ll eventually work up a full story for them), so stay tuned!

Also, I’ll aim to have that Danganronpa picture done within another three weeks or so. It’s on the bigger side, so naturally it’ll take a while, but I think it’ll be worth the wait, so once again, stay tuned!

CHAPTER FOUR

I can’t remember when exactly, but we ended up in bed at some point. I was exhausted. If he was, he didn’t show it. Because as soon as we’d gone a couple rounds and then some, his phone buzzed again before we could speak. Not that I wanted to, specifically. Pillow talk was vain and simply the means to an end. I think regular people required a bridge between sex and sleep for some reason and vulnerable talk somehow made the cut? Why did pop culture romanticize it so? What was it about the mutual exchange of a good time that warranted some lovey dovey follow up?

I was never into it, clearly. I remember Todd was almost insulted that I jumped right back into experimenting with new rum cake recipes right after we fucked. It was like his entire existence as a privileged white male (aka white male) had told him in no unclear terms that women would be an outpour of emotion after a pathetic 3 minutes of dick-taking. I didn’t mind bursting his bubble at all. If anything, it brought me joy to let him know what real women comfortable with themselves were like.

It took me a long while to work on myself and like who I was. Mainstream feminism told me that girls had to like serious things to be taken seriously. So I dropped everything floral and traditionally feminine and pretended to be really into heavy metal. But years later and following several personal experiences, I had struck the right balance.

So no, I was not upset that he chose work. The question was redundant. He’d stated his intentions and I was savvy.

I watched him through the glass door of the balcony, as he gestured with his hands as he spoke, dressed only in his boxer shorts on a September night. It was insane how toasty he was. Probably the only downside to not being able to cuddle. To be honest, it surprised me that he wanted to sleep over at all. I fully expected him to leave the second he came. Was the decision to stay over a result of the way other women had reacted to his blatant sexual appetite followed by sudden departure? I cannot imagine they were as amicable as I was.

I wondered about these women before me, perhaps even parallel to me. He said they weren’t vapid. To what extent? On par with me? Sub? Sur? Did he make a mental ranking list of all his exploits?

I stopped my bullet train of thought after that. The last thing I needed was to hyperfixate on him. Not only would I lose the prospect of boning a fine specimen who actually knew female anatomy, but it would also not be healthy for me. Not again.

He was still on the call, albeit seated, after I’d showered and changed, and finally decided to read the book. I knew I said I didn’t care if we spoke after sex, but I didn’t want to sleep when he was still up. What if he needed socks or something? I was just being a good host. Like on cue, I saw him shiver just a tiny bit synced with the wind chimes singing. I grabbed the fleece comforter from the bed end table, knocked on the glass once and draped it around his shoulders. He seemed confused, but jumped right back into the conversation without missing a beat. I noticed the cadence of his voice was different when he spoke on the phone.

I tiptoed across the cold floor and draped myself in the comforter, and nestled in for some speed reading. An old woman reading War and Peace on the subway had taught me that once. As a teen, I was intimidated by big books that had slow beginnings. But once I’d crossed the 100 page mark, there was no turning back. Unfortunately, my bane of seeing everything as goals that needed to be accomplished extended to books alike. But I still enjoyed them greatly.

And so I returned to lonesome Piranesi and his secret message.

I only looked at Atticus one time after that, as he pulled the fleece close and smiled.

After half an hour or so, the squeak of the sliding glass door pulled me out from my reading.

“Why haven’t you gone to bed yet?” He sounded exhausted, but not physically like me. Had the call taken a toll on him?

“I wasn’t sleepy so I thought I’d finish this,” I lied smoothly, as he climbed in on my left with the signature scowl on his face. I’d grown quite fond of it by then. He looked like a brooding child.

“How close?” His voice perked up and he looked at me with expectant brown eyes as he tucked himself in.

“Couple pages. I don’t mean to pry, but was that work?”

He sighed deep. “Yep.”

I let a moment pass before asking, “Everything ok?”

“Yeah, we have an audit coming up and everyone I work with is incompetent so I’m training them to feign competence one grunt at a time.”

“That sounds exhausting.”

“It is,” he said and rubbed his eyes.

“Do you wanna talk about it?”

“Actually I’d rather hear you read the last two pages to me.” he said and sunk his head into the pillows, drawing the sheets up till his nose. “Will you do that for me, Cleodora?”

Huge, gorgeous brown eyes looked up at me. It made me giggle.

“Of course. And just Cleo is fine.”

“You got it, Cleodora,” he blinked dramatically, pulling another giggle from me. This was the same man who ordered me to ‘say Daddy’s name’ as he made me come with his hand an hour ago?

Trippy.

I began reading.

“This afternoon I walked through the city, making for a café where I was to meet Raphael. It was about half-past two on a day that had never really got light.”

His head lolled to the side, and for some reason, my hands thought it was the perfect time to rub his head to sleep. It felt natural. He said nothing. A moment later, he leaned into my hand.

“It began to snow. The low clouds made a grey ceiling for the city; the snow muffled the noise of the cars until it became almost rhythmical; a steady, shushing noise, like the sound of tides beating endlessly on marble walls.

I thought he was asleep but I kept reading until I reached the end. “The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.”

His breathing was steady and he hadn’t said anything. I removed my hand. Almost instantly, he asked sleepily, “The end?”

“The end.” I echoed, placing the book on the nightstand and sinking in flat beside him.

“Well?” Came his reply from underneath the sheets.

“I still think it’s about loneliness.” I admitted.

His eyes opened, hooded but alert. He drew the covers off his face and watched me intently. The dim light of the lamp behind me illuminated the crests and dips of his face, so many minuscule valleys that were unexplored. But I didn’t feel like I’d missed out. I felt opportune. I knew for certain I had time.

“I think the House was a reflection of his mind’s slow descent into madness and the loss of his individuality. He’s deluded from years of solitude and his mind’s gotten so accustomed to pain that he can’t live without it anymore. That’s why he wants to return to the House. Loneliness and pain is his brain’s hardwired new normal so he doesn’t know or doesn’t want to know about anything else but what he’s used to.”

“So he prefers an agonising limbo because that’s all he's known.”

“Or, all he remembers.”

Something changed in his face at that, but before I could decode it, it was gone. Atticus then placed a soft kiss on my lips, before turning away and falling asleep.

I didn’t wake up curled in his arms or embraced in his body heat. I woke up on my side of the bed, and he was fast asleep with his back to me on the other edge.

There was no real reason for me to imagine a picture perfect morning with him. I barely knew him. And contrary to popular belief, cuddling and sleeping is not comfortable. There’s only so long you can go trying to sync your breathing to get some sleep. So yeah, I preferred this.

At least that’s what I told myself as I headed to the kitchen and got started on breakfast. I didn’t know if he’d stay that long, but I was going to offer anyway.

I kept it simple, made some nut loaded (walnuts exempted) power muffins that my mom used to. The memories of school morning wafted into my brain up through my nose. I smiled.

It’s been said over and over again but we really don’t know how good we have it until it’s gone. I rang her as the oven whirred, pretending to ask for a recipe. My mom still lived in my childhood home in Oregon. When I’d decided culinary business was the way for me, downtown Oregon was unfortunately not the best real estate for one. I’d offered to make it a family business, but my mom had declined, preferring to stay back with our dog now that I was finally out of the house.

I chuckled as she recounted a conversation about a diva cup she’d overheard at a supermarket. I missed her blind positivity. She beat me to my question of asking if she was taking care of herself, going at length about how skinny I was getting. I promised her I was still plump enough to her liking and hung up with an I love you.

“Your mom?”

I started at that, and spun around to find him dressed yet again in his suit, and booted up.

“Yeah,” I smiled reminiscently. He seemed to struggle with what to say next, like he was considering if he should just let the moment pass unsaid.

“You’re not staying?” I couldn’t keep the disappointment out of my voice.

“No,” he smiled tight and glanced at his shoes. “I don’t usually sleep over either.”

“Then why did you?”

He shrugged, tilting his head to the side.

“The review. Right. Wasn’t it disappointing?” I asked as I poured him some coffee. He stepped closer.

“If anything, it was the opposite.”

Our eyes met briefly, and I stopped myself from asking when we’d see each other again. I wordlessly handed him the cup. He hesitated again.

“I should really get going. I have the audit today.”

“Right,” I sighed, hugging the rejected cup to myself. “You still haven’t told me where you worked.”

He chuckled, fingering the cuff links on his left sleeve. Why did he feel awkward? Was it at my expense? I wanted no part in it. Suddenly, I wanted him out.

“Leaving it a mystery, got it.” I shot a finger gun at him and headed for the door before him. After I opened it, he hesitated again. I pretended not to notice and stared at the floor instead.

Before he could walk out, Atticus cupped my face, angled his face with mine and kissed me. Not like a love tap, but a full, open mouthed kiss. I could taste the wintergreen mouthwash on his breath, the same one from my bathroom. His hands slid down to cup the crest of my butt and my hands flew around his neck. I fantasised he’d say something like screw work and make love to me until we got hungry.

But he broke off from me, said goodbye and left the apartment.

Outside, Atticus glanced up at the sign that said Cleo’s in a pleasing retro cursive font as he dialled his therapist.

“Dr. Wesley’s office.”

“Hey, Allison, I need to see him today.”

“He’s not in till 10.”

“It’s important.”

Opening my first Create Your Own doll

Are the rest of you as surprised as I am that my CYO has already arrived? Let’s open her up together, and I’ll tell you about her creation!

So I don’t usually buy new dolls. They're expensive when bought new, and I can almost always handle any repairs that a secondhand doll might have. And I like having the opportunity to sharpen my skills by repairing a well-loved doll. I also believe it’s more environmentally friendly to buy used items when possible, and that’s an action I stick to as much as I can.

For those reasons, I held out on getting a Create Your Own for a really long time. I couldn’t justify the high price, especially because I’m able to customize dolls for a much lower cost. And I’ve done that a lot in my own collection.

What finally convinced me to reconsider was when I was planning my new historical original character. I spent a few months trying to figure out which doll to use, and none of them seemed right. I knew I didn’t want another classic face mold. I’ve got enough of them already, in just about every possible hair and eye color combination. I figured maybe I’d try a doll with the Josefina face mold and see where that would take me.

I auditioned a Truly Me #53 with a Mia wig, but ultimately I was unhappy with the result. It just didn’t look like the right combination of features. So I decided to take my time, think about it for a while, and see if maybe the right doll would cross paths with me somehow.

At the same time, I started seeing more and more CYO dolls on my dashboard here on Tumblr. I saw how happy and excited everyone was to get their own unique dolls, and it got me thinking about what kind of doll I would make if I were to get a CYO.

Then it occurred to me that I could just make a CYO to be my next historical OC. I knew I wanted her to be completely unique and different from all of my other dolls. I didn’t want her to remind me of anyone else in my collection. My other two historical OC dolls are special in their own ways; Susanna was a fixer upper TM #13 given to me by my mom, who only needed the wig and didn’t feel attached enough to keep the doll; Eleanor was a $4 thrift store surprise baby. So I wanted my third OC to have an interesting origin story too.

I was also a little less reluctant to spend the money than I had been previously. Earlier in the year, I had planned to set aside a bit of money to be used on a road trip to Glacier National Park this summer. It’s the only national park in the western states and outside of Alaska that I haven’t seen. That, of course, could not happen this year with the pandemic raging, most states in lockdown, and a lot of the national parks closing. Dropping $200 on a doll, then, was maybe a little less painful and more appealing once I knew I wasn’t going to be having any grand adventures this year. A fancy custom doll with lots of fun goodies in the box would make a decent consolation prize, I guess.

I put it off for a few months to keep thinking it over and setting aside a bit of money each week. The perfect timing came on the night of November 3rd, which was election day. I spent the evening nervously watching the election results come in. To keep myself from constantly refreshing my YouTube homepage all night and into the morning, I started building the CYO of my dreams. Then I put her in my shopping bag, and went to bed.

As you all might remember, the results of the election were not announced by the next morning, nor the morning after that. It took me another day and a half of anxiety to finally be brave enough and complete the purchase.

So many of you were excited on my behalf when I posted about it! It was a delight to read all of the positive comments.

I placed the order on November 5th. Yesterday, on the 15th, FedEx delivered her to me. Folks, that is a ten day total turnaround time! She spent more time being shipped to me than she did being assembled! I was expecting not to see her for at least a month. Earlier this summer the wait time was as much as three months! American Girl’s Instagram made a post saying that dolls must be ordered by November 24th for delivery before Christmas. I was absolutely floored that they held out on that promise, and she arrived in such a short time.

I knew I wanted to continue to share in the excitement with all of you, and so I took a few photos while I was unboxing her.

This is a humongous box. Quite a bit larger than regular doll boxes, I think?

On the bottom left of the box, you can see the customized label I chose. At checkout, there’s an option to pick what you want your label to say. I chose “Congratulations (my name)” on account of the election, which had not been called when I ordered. I figured that if the outcome was what I hoped for (and it was), then my past self would be congratulating my future self. And if it wasn’t, then it could still be a “congratulations, you tried”.

Not only is the box massive, it’s very sturdy cardboard. This is definitely a keepsake box. It reminds me of the box that came with my Maplelea doll.

I took out the doll first when I did this (she’s being covered by the frog and bugs), but to keep you all in suspense a little longer, I’ll show the accessories first. They come in a smaller box placed below the doll’s feet.

I got the Let’s Explore accessories, which include a backpack purse, a water bottle, a package of pretend trail mix, a watch, and what looks like a neckerchief. I wanted all of my money’s worth and to get as many things as I could for the price, so I picked the sunglasses from the glasses option, blue headband from the hairstyle options, and chose pierced ears.

And here she is!

Seeing her opening her eyes and looking at me for the first time was everything I imagined it would be.

She has the Sonali face mold, second lightest skin color, gray eyes, and long wavy light red hair.

I chose this face mold because while two of my dolls have it, I don’t have any with the Sonali mold and light skin. I chose gray eyes because besides my Bitty Baby, I don’t have any other dolls with this eye color. And I chose light red hair because none of my other dolls have this hair color.

So she is unique and one of a kind in several ways! I figured that for $200, I should get a doll that could only ever exist as a CYO, and not one that I could have customized myself from a Truly Me doll.

Her hair is so soft and shiny! The color is pretty similar to TM #33′s wig, maybe a little more blonde. It has a nice variation of colors and highlights.

I chose the Let’s Explore outfit because I love the little logo shirt, and this adorable purple pompom toque. Since she’s a historical girl, this will be the last time she wears this outfit.

I’ll give it and the accessories to my modern gals.

And of course, she’s got the foot stamp!

In my next post, I will formally introduce her and announce her name.

(Here’s where I repeat my regular disclaimer--this is not a sponsored post or incentivized review. I did not receive any products for free, nor has anyone asked me to review anything.)

For the OC headcanon: 1& Ash, 4 & Susanna, 7 & Aidan, 8 & Ian, 9 & Chris, 12 & Elise, 14 & Julie, 17 & Jerome, 19 & Kayla, 20 & Hannah, 21 & Myrtle, 26 & Lauren, 27 & Avery, and 30 & Angela, please and thank you!

1. How does Ash feel about people shorter/taller than him?

Taller: Impressed -- most people aren't. If he was ever around someone really tall, like nearly 7' or more, it would make him feel a little like being a kid again: his mom, grandma, and aunts are fairly tall people, especially his aunt Iris, who is actually an inch taller than him even as an adult.

Shorter: Unless you are very short, he doesn’t really notice. If you are, it doesn’t really matter much. Not that most people seem to care *that* much about how tall someone is, either, just in Ash’s case it’s not a physical detail he tends to put much energy into noticing or thinking about.

4. What is Susanna’s preferred weather?

Toss-up between warm sunny days, with a smattering of cumulous clouds, and really powerful thunderstorms.

She slightly prefers thunderstorms, now that they’re living in the city. Sunny days are best spent with friends, playing in the river or running around open fields, not at a jam-packed city pool or cooped up in the apartment.

7. How’s Aidan’s cooking?

He can boil water.

Yeah, that’s about it.

Phoenixes don’t eat as much, and a lot of what Aidan does eat is fruit, seeds, nuts, and the occasional vegetable, most of which don’t require cooking. He’s not terrible at it, or he wouldn’t be if he put more effort into learning it, but Ash has been the main food guy since before Aidan came to the house, so there’s never been a need.

8. It’s movie night, what movie does Ian pick?

Action/comedy, in the vein of Ocean’s Eleven or National Treasure, depending on the audience.

If the circumstances are right, maybe a cerebral or philosophical sci-fi movie, but those can easily be too much for some people, and they’re not an interest he’s willing to be criticized or teased for having, so it would have to be the right group.

9. How would Chris hold up in a pillow war?

“And when [Christopher] saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.”

12. Something small Elise enjoys?

A nice cup of tea.

She’s the only one in her family who does. Her parents drank so much coffee they joked about having it instead of blood in their veins, her brother took after them, and Julie only drinks tea when Elise makes her.

14. What is enough to bring Julie to tears?

Sad scenes in movies or TV shows can do it, though she doesn’t cry easily in real life, unless something reminds her of her dad.

Julie comes off a lot more sensitive than she is. She doesn’t get angry easily, either, but she’s much more likely to get angry than to cry, which surprises people.

17. What’s something Jerome likes that might be surprising to others?

The depth of his investment in The Witcher video game series. He hasn’t read the books (yet), but he knows a lot more than a casual player would find out.

19. Any bad habits Kayla has?

Sometimes zones out during a conversation because she’s mentally making plans for household projects/meals/cleaning. She’s never been as good at multitasking that as she thought, and she’s only gotten worse.

20. What’s Hannah’s idea of a perfect vacation?

Disneyland or Disneyworld sounds pretty cool. She’s never been, but some of her friends have, and all of her cousins (on her mother’s side) go every year (the ones in California go to Disneyland, and the ones in Georgia go to Disneyworld, and it’s a longstanding, lighthearted argument about which is better). Her dad’s promised her that one year, they’ll go to one or the other with her cousins.

21. Does Knife get lost easily? Would she ask for directions if she was?

So long as she has some idea of where she’s going, particularly in relation to other places, she’s usually quite good at getting there. Even as a truck driver, regularly driving through parts of the world she’d never been to before, she had a good memory for place names, and she’s always been able to keep the cardinal directions in her head.

If she did get lost, it wouldn’t take her too long to ask for directions. It’d hurt her pride, but she recognizes that hurt pride isn’t a good reason not to do things, especially when someone else can help and the situation is only going to get worse if you don’t let them; unlike some people. Not naming any names, Muninn.

26. Does Lauren like being in pictures?

She’ll want to touch up her makeup and make sure her hair isn’t fritzing all over the place first, but she’s … okay with being in photographs.

Her parents don’t take a lot of pictures, but Ian’s mom always has one of those cheap disposable cameras on-hand, partially because Ian’s dad is away from home so often but mostly just because that’s the kind of person she is. Lauren’s gotten used to being in photos after hanging around Ian this long.

27. Is there anything Avery is bad at?

Avery has never been good at forcing herself to pay attention to stuff she thinks is boring. If she could pick one thing to improve upon, it would have been her skill at politics, just to see if she could have done anything to prevent things at Kirkwall from going so spectacularly awful. (It almost certainly wouldn’t have helped, considering what was going on in the background).

30. Something that disgusts Angie?

Cowardice.

There are times when there is no middle ground between doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing, and picking the latter because you’re scared is selfish, short-sighted, and indefensible.

Thanks for asking!

Uncertainty

Summary: Ville and Maria were best friends, but held back feelings and a leap of faith changes it all.

Pairing: Ville Valo (HIM) x OC

He was wonderfully enamored and she was blissfully unaware. For him, it was like a bowling ball was lodged in his chest every time he saw her, every time he turned around he seemed to be looking for her in the distance. She was always on his mind and some part of him was so sick of it that he never wanted to think of her again. But when Maria said his name it was all over, back to square one. His uncertainty of it all kept him reeling.

Maria, though unaware of the inner workings of Ville’s mind, hadn’t put much thought into the man. Although she had to admit he was a sight to behold and one of the sweetest men she’d ever met, she hardly entertained the idea that someone like him would give her a second glance. To her, he was so far beyond reach that it was easier to bury any feelings of attraction toward him.

They’d met through a woman Ville had been dating, Susanna. But when that relationship fell to pieces, Maria and Ville managed to stay friends. It was an odd friendship, in the eyes of most looking from the outside in, but it was what it was. To Ville, if it was the only tie to her he could have then he would take it. She was, in some sense of the word, his muse, his lifeline to sanity when he was down and out. She had become such a staple in his life that he knew he had to do something, despite risking it all.

He invited her over to help him write, that was the excuse anyway. It wasn’t something they really ever did, as Ville liked to be alone when writing, but Maria had always expressed the desire to write with him, or even to just watch him work. She was wonderfully amazed by his beautiful songs, especially since English was not a first language for either of them. This invitation, for her, was not one to pass up. It was something so rare and valuable in her mind that she dropped all of her plans and agreed.

It wasn’t until Maria was having a hard time deciding what to wear, only after doing her make up and curling her hair, did she realize she may have had some resurfaced feelings toward Ville that she hadn’t intended to revisit. Her heart was fluttering and her hands were sweaty, small indications of nervousness. This struck her odd, they were best friends after all, seeing him was nothing new, right?

She shook off her nerves and head out to Ville’s. Thankfully he hadn’t lived far so she could easily walk. During that walk she started to feel like something was happening, like this wouldn’t be a normal visit, little did she know, she was absolutely right.

Upon entering his house, after a quiet knock and a distant “Door’s open, love,” she felt some mix her nervousness and relief. The house smelled like him, like cigarettes and pine somehow mixed. It seemed like a bad combo, but really it was a comfort to her, something familiar that made her feel warm.

She wondered around and grabbed herself a glass of wine from Ville’s stash. She knew he wouldn’t mind and she prayed it would ease her nerves. She drank half the glass, filled it again, and ascended the stairs where she knew he’d be working.

She quietly entered the room, doing her best not to disturb him, though he noticed her right away. “Thought you’d gotten lost.” He chuckled as he lowly picked at guitar strings.

“I raided your wine collection. I didn’t think you’d mind.” She shrugged and sat in front of him. She blushed as she realized she was slightly over dressed. He looked as he often did, relaxed in jeans and a long sleeve with his beanie draped over his long hair. But this, to her, was still wildly attractive. He was just as attractive to her there, like that, as he was on set of a photo shoot or on stage in front of thousands of people.

“I wouldn’t have had you brought me a glass.” He joked, knowing it would get her to laugh.

“We’ll share mine.” She offered, gaining his approval. He took the glass from her hand and slid her a piece of paper he’d all but completely destroyed with messy handwriting and scribbles. As she read it over, she soon realized it was a song.

Let me wake up in your arms

Hear you say it's not alright

Let me be so dead and gone

So far away from life

Close my eyes

Hold me tight

And bury me deep inside your heart

All I ever wanted was you, my love

You're all I ever wanted is you, my love

Your're all I ever wanted, just you

Let me never see the sun

And never see you smile

Let us be so dead and so gone

So far away from life

Just close my eyes

Hold me tight

And bury me deep inside your heart

That's the way it's always been

My heart stops beating only for you Baby

Only for your loving

As she read the script on the page, Ville quietly strummed a small tune and sang the words on the page. The lyrics written weren’t necessarily the song in its entirety, but he sang it as it was meant to be sung, hoping to impress her, and hoping she’d understand it was for her.

“That’s beautiful.” She said as he finished. “What story are you telling this time?” She asked, enthralled and wonderfully amused. “You’re always telling stories in your music.”

“This time I’m telling mine.” He smiled lightly, hoping she’d catch on. His nerves were starting to wear on him and he wondered if he’d really have the courage to tell her.

“Oh!” Maria said, somewhat surprised. “Well whatever woman is on the receiving end of this is very lucky. It’s gorgeous.” She slid the paper back to him and he picked it up and examined it. She picked up his glass of wine and took a sip, wishing it would do more to calm her.

He took a deep breath and continued on, trying to act like nothing was up. “My plan was to give this to her tonight.”

“What happened?” She asked, her heart slightly breaking for him, and somewhat for herself as well, thinking there was a woman he was in love with.

“She stole my wine and gave it back.” He almost laughed as he said it, and came even closer to laughter as he witnessed her face change from somewhat disappointment to something similar to fear.

“What?” Was all she could say. It was like her brain couldn’t form human words anymore and she was short circuiting.

He gave the paper back to her and casually strummed quiet tunes on the guitar, mostly to distract his hands of the slight shaking, and kept his eyes on her. “It’s for you, sweetheart. If you don’t feel the same-“

“No! No no, that’s not-“ She cut herself off, not knowing what the right thing was to say. “I just didn’t think you felt that way..” She laughed a little, trying to wrap her head around it.

He put the guitar aside and slid closer to her. He took her hand and held up to his chest. She looked him in his pretty green eyes as she felt his heart beating, just a little bit faster than normal. “It’s yours, if you want it.”

Maria took a deep breath to clear her mind, then a wave of bravery washed over her. She put her other hand on Ville’s face and kissed him softly, and it was unlike every other kiss she’d had. She was so aware of everything around her that she felt overwhelmed in the most fantastic way. She noticed her thumb absently running over his pronounced cheek bone, she noticed how his heart was beating faster than it had just seconds ago, and she noticed the sudden stillness of the room and how silent everything was, the only sound to be heard was the small sounds their lips made as they planted kisses on the other.

When they parted, they both understood the path they’d just chosen and how this would change things forever. It was a shining moment in each of their lives, even though it had only happened in the solitude of a small home. But now, things would be different. No more hidden feelings and nervous beginnings, from then on, it would be bliss, from their happiest moments to their most harsh fights. Life together would be worth everything, and nothing could take that away anymore. Not fear, not nerves, and certainly not uncertainty.

📱- Is your muse the “oversharing” type? 🏝- Could your muse survive on an uninhabited island all by themselves? 40, 25 3 1

📱- Is your muse the “oversharing” type?

No. Cyrus has spent his entire life as the heir to the title. He has been trained since he was young to not overshare. If he is close with someone, then he is quite open. For example, his close relationships with Susanna, Javan and Asmata all indicate he can share. He does not ‘overshare’.

🏝- Could your muse survive on an uninhabited island all by themselves?

He has no idea how to prepare food. He might be able to figure it out before he starved. Maybe. Survival odds 5/10.

40 - Are there any habits your oc has picked up from people around them? Do they know where they’re from? Does your oc try to stop themselves from doing it?

From his father, he developed the habit of folding his hands behind his back and pacing when he is extremely stressed or worried. He tried to stop himself but he has given up and just tries to do it privately since it is such an obvious tell.

25 - How jumpy or easily spooked is your oc? Do they have a fight or flight reflex to being startled, or are they never startled at all?

It is rare for him to be truly startled. He tends to have a good handle on his surroundings. A jump scare in a movie for example has to be a genuine surprise before he is startled. His first instinct is to protect, to move in front of whomever he perceives is vulnerable. This has gotten him into trouble more than once.

3 - How easy to annoy is your oc? Do they have common pet-peeves or are they stoic in response to everything? What is their reaction if the source doesn’t stop?

Cyrus is fairly stoic about things. He has been trained all his life to control his emotional response to things. He has two pet peeves that drive him bonkers. One is people who making repetitive noises (clicking pens, finger-tapping, throat clearing). The other is people who chew with their mouth open or talk while eating.

1 - How does your character sleep? Peacefully, fitfully? What position do they sleep in? What is their typical bedding like?

Depends on how often he scenes. If he is maintaining well, he sleeps quite well. He usually sleeps on his side but sometimes on his stomach. He likes to be the bigger spoon if he is with someone else. His bedding is quite soft (very high thread count) and plush. He likes a thick duvet versus numerous smaller blankets. He prefers to be warm and tends to sleep in the nude.

OC Background: Maenira

Most of her childhood consisted of spending time with her family and attending music lessons with her aunt.

While attending many of the Trilogy Clan Parties and Gatherings, she spent a lot of time around Theron Samsa and Aeryn Nathanson, whom she considered her brothers outside of the clan.

She met Susanna through Theron, and as they got closer Susanna would become Maenira's 'protector' whenever her older brother Kairynn was not around.

During high school Maenira spent even more time enhancing her vocal chords, which lead her to not making that many friends due to never having the time to go out with them.

While attending music class, she met Jason, but was very cautious about approuching him due to Kairynn not being fond of his mischievious and mysterious attitude.

It wasn't until she heard him play the guitar that Maenira began to crush on him.

One day she got the courage to introduce herself to him during a lesson and her crush grew into love throughout high school.

Maenira planned to confess to Jason before their final day of high school, but she was soon scouted by a very well known music producer and left her high school life behind to start her career.

As her career grew, Maenira tried her hardest to reconnect with her friends and with Jason, but her manager tried his hardest to keep Maenira from having a life "outside of fame".

One day while strolling through the Capital, she stumbled upon Jason. She spent the whole day avoiding her manager's calls and spent time with Jason, whom she never stopped loving.

When her manager found this out he threatened to not only end her career but to also sabotage Jason's life; he did not want Maenira meddling with troublemakers and went as far as to sexually assaulting her, saying that he will kill her and Jason if she were to have told anyone.

He wanted Maenira all to himself, professionally and sexually.

Scared, Maenira agreed and stopped all contact with Jason and anyone else outside of her immediate family.

One night she slipped a note into Kairynn's room before heading off for a tour throughout Namishima, begging him to find evidence of her manager's abuse and assult.

Kairynn knew nothing of it, but knew his sister would not have asked for help if she wasn't in serious trouble.

Despite his disgust for Jason, he asked him for help. With the help of Rendyr, lead Enforcer of the clan, they tracked down Maenira and her manager and forced him to confess to his actions.

After he was thrown in prison, Maenira confessed her love for Jason, but told him everything that her manager had done to her. She did not expect him to love someone who had become broken.

To her surprise, he didn't push her aside and the two set out to build their relationship.

Some time later Maenira would rekindle her past friendships and start to make new ones.

She met her now best friend, Sheena Ahearne, through her brother. Though opposites, the two became inseperable.

Maenira, continuing to perform under new management, now also speaks out against abuse and assault. She becomes a role model to many, even when she continues to repair herself.

Izar doodles!!!

Doodle compilation of my noblesse oc from my Millennium AU, Izar Siriana! After Zarga died without an heir, Izar was born from the air and earth of Lukedonia as the new Siriana heir. Izar is a massive astronomy & mathematics enthusiast, and a giant nerd in general lol.

For my entire nextgen lineup, please refer to my pinned post! Now onto the drawings…

1) Izar portrait!!!! I love painting my beloved nerd boi. His hair is messy because he almost never pays attention to it, and you can almost always find crumbs and… partially eaten snacks poking out from it. Ehhh. If you point it out to him he’ll just say ooh its a nice surprise, he can eat it later on, meanwhile it can keep sitting there haha so convenient amiright. (Plz dont) And… he’s always smiling. Happy boi. Probably thinking about building his 1628th telescope right now. Also his glasses are totally fake and he just wears them because he thinks they complete the “scientist” aesthetic. Humans sure are trendy aren’t they?

2) Izar is a HUGE junk food lover. Chips, cookies, soda, cheap powdery coffee, anything that’s junk by human standards really. Especially the coffee part. He drinks it not because he needs it but because human scientists do that. It’s fashionable!! If only he could get his hands on Luzia’s eyeshadow, he would’ve given himself dark eye circles lol. Anyways he’s always snacking on something, and shares his snacks with his extremely smart pet ferret & lab assistant Charles. Charles can understand everything he says and often fetches his stuff for him. ps Izar sometimes forgets to clean his hands especially his fingers after a snack session. Consequently his books and notes often have greasy fingerprints on then haha.

3) Izar is basically a neet but he does hang out with his friends sometimes!! He’s very good friends with Ludis’ daughter and the Mergas heir, Susanna. These two have a lot to bond over. Susa is also the one who supplies Izar’s massive, ever-growing pantry. For a super snack enthusiast like him, his snack-eating speed is actually inferior to Susa’s snack-supplying speed. Oh, what will he do without Susa haha. He always looks forward to deliveries from her household. Some random Mergas clan member tasked with delivery will be knocking on Izar’s lab and he’d be at the door in an instant. “Excuse me, Izar-nim? Susanna-nim asked me to deliver—” “YESYESYES IT’S ME!!!” And Susa, while she doesn’t entirely understand the topics to a complex level, loves to listen to Izar’s mini lessons on space and stars. They have great synergy lol.

4) just cute chibi Izar sitting on a planet lol. He loves everything space related. Precious boi and his hobby needs to be protected at all costs.

5) Izar has a massive crush on Jia. Jia has no interest in “meteor-whats” or those “fancy rocks” but she joke-promises Izar that she would help him collect these “rocks” and bring them to him if he can provide her with a satisfying spar. Girl just loves her exercise. Izar is a neet but his fighting skills are no joke so they spar, to both of their surprise Jia is happy and keeps her promise. Her bringing him meteorites makes his inner nerd explode with joy. Their casual back and forths with the spars and meteorite deliveries extends over the years and Izar falls for Jia. Jia really just loves to fight though. Izar hasn’t confessed his feelings yet, but if he does it’ll be a straight-on marriage proposal with a six pack soda. Ehhh maybe thats jumping too far ahead at once. If he does he should bring a grill lol, girl doesn’t like sweet stuff. Jia doesn’t know he likes her.

6) While Izar likes Jia, Kaelestis Blerster, son of Karias and Rael, likes Izar. Izar doesn’t know Kaekae likes him. It all started out when Kaekae became a regular at Izzy’s lab (the lab is always open to any guests he just almost never gets any lol) to get a breather from the uptight life he usually lives. Parenting Karias (yes, not the other way around) is always… sigh, difficult. In Izzy’s lab is where Kaekae truly feels at ease. Listing to Izzy ramble about space and formulas, snacking on junk, being handed plushies and toys… Kaekae feels like he’s being taken care of. It’s really refreshing. It’s his safe space, he finally found it; it was right there in Izzy’s lab all along. That’s how he falls for the giant nerd boi. He knows Izzy likes Jia, so he doesn’t confess his feelings… yet. Though he should. For right now, they’ll just be best friends… yep, that’s enough right…?

7. Susa is even more entertained once she finds out about her peers’ crushes. Oh ho their love lives are gonna be a ride. So entertaining. Meanwhile her brother and parents wonder why she’s snickering to herself. You won’t get it even if she explains, trust me.

Worldbuilding Exchange Letter

Dear writer,

Hello and thank you for writing for me. I’m keeping this letter pretty bare-bones, because the very theme of this exchange is what I usually crave in fanfic: Worldbuilding! The history and geography and social structures of this fictional world! Fleshing out canon incidents or references! In-canon myths, narratives, explaining how and why stuff works as it does! How it all might have been but wasn’t! The contingency and consequences of both people’s actions and the parameters of the world in which they operate (for example, SF or magical systems which limit options but also open them up)! So I’m very excited, but I also don’t want to limit you with detailed prompts -- I hope my choice of tags and characters will serve in lieu of prompts.

In case you could really use a specific prompt, I have requested most of these fandoms in past exchanges (with varying character combos), or I’ve written in them, so I’m linking the relevant letters/my AO3 page where appropriate, to give you a sense of what I enjoy.

Requests:

Chronicles of the Kencyrath - P. C. Hodgell

Characters: Torisen Knorth, Jame Knorth, Marcarn ‘Marc’, Yce, Kirien Jaran, Brier Iron-Thorn, Burr

Worldbuilding tags: Haunted Lands , Magic and how it works, Perimal Darkling, Rathillien religion and mythology

Past requests: 1, 2, and 3

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke

Characters: Gilbert Norrell, Jonathan Strange, John Uskglass a.k.a. The Raven King

Worldbuilding tags: Faerie

Past requests: 1, 2 and 3

The Marianne Trilogy - Sheri S. Tepper

Characters: Marianne Zahmani, Makr Avehl Zahmani, Aghrehond, Therat, Queen Buttercup, Tabiti Delubovoska

Worldbuilding tags: Alphenlicht and Lubovosk, Cattermune's board game, Cave of Light

Past request: here

Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman

Characters: Marquis de Carabas, Richard Mayhew, Door, Lord Portico, Lamia

Worldbuilding tags: History of London, London Below, Magical sources and rules, Pockets of time, Underside of other cities

Past request: here

Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis

Characters: James Dunworthy, Elizabeth Bittner [original and canon cats not specifically requested but welcome!]

Worldbuilding tags: 2678 AD incongruity, Cat repopulation project, History of the net, Science and study of time travel

I did request this before but without a letter -- here is a brief version of my prompts from that time: I would love either a fic about office shenanigans (e.g., Dunworthy deals with fractious dons and administrators, clueless students, and demanding donors and researchers) or another "casefic" (characters visit another historical time period of your choice, things go smoothly or not, or what if they create another potential paradox). Humor/crack especially welcome, please ignore the events of Blackout/All Clear, and no fix-it fic for Doomsday Book.

A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin

Characters: Brienne of Tarth, Jaime Lannister, Tywin Lannister, Gerion Lannister, Tommen Baratheon

Worldbuilding tags: Economics & trade, Food & cooking, Free Cities, Gods & religion, Knights errant, Myths legends & songs, Sea and sailing-related legends & lore, Stormlands culture

I’ve never requested this canon before, but I have written tons for it: here. Book characterizations only, please (show characterizations are a canon-specific DNW for me), and if you write Brienne and/or Jaime, do not make them a BrOTP or otherwise write around Jaime/Brienne -- this is the OTP hill I’ll die on. You don’t have to write shipfic, but please don’t handwave the ship or try to explain it away.

Likes:

I love pre-canon, canon, post-canon, canon-divergent, and “missing scene from canon” stories. I love character-driven and plot-driven stories equally, and I love fics which mix humor and angst/serious business when appropriate for the canon. I’m also requesting in-canon meta here, so fictional excerpts from diaries, letters, histories, novels/fairytales/songs would be awesome.

I love character studies, characters at work and play, stories about group dynamics, family dynamics (including constructed families), professional partnerships, friendships, alliances, rivalries, intimate couples, UST-ridden couples who are not just UST-ridden but connected in other ways too, parents and children, siblings, etc.

I love irony, snark, 5+1 stories, bittersweet endings, hopeful endings, happy endings, canon-fitting crack, worldbuilding (duh, I know, but I always include this in letters), characters who are their own worst enemies as well as those who learn to get over themselves, characters with conflicting values which may or may not be reconciled/resolved in a believable and IC way, characters who treat each other with respect and as equals even if they hate/annoy/can’t stand/love to dislike each other.

I especially love workplace stories (this can mean anything from an office/procedural setting to anything that revolves around the canon world in which the characters live) in which the characters are competent and dedicated to the job, and while they may not be exactly friends and they may well irritate one another, they still manage to rub along to get the job done and maybe even grow to care about one another (much to their surprise and sometimes reluctance/discomfort). Or, if they can’t get along, show me why not and what’s preventing them from finding common ground.

DNWs:

Kinks, MPREG, A/B/O, knotting, D/s, incest, underage, genderswap and genderbent characters, non-con, dub-con, torture and abuse (this and non-con/dub-con can be mentioned if the story needs it, especially in a canon like ASOIAF, but please don’t dwell on it in loving detail or subject any of my requested characters to it), dwelling on bodily fluids (mentions of gore and come are fine where appropriate), toilet humor, character bashing, soulmates and soul marks, major character death (unless it’s canon), pregnancy and children as the lynchpin of the story (unless strictly canon appropriate), characters agonizing over/analyzing/dwelling on their or others’ sexuality as if it’s the sum total of their existence, secondary characters acting like shipping the main pair is their be all and end all, fluff and schmoop, OCs (except for worldbuilding purposes or as the author of an in-universe document reflecting on my requested characters/tags -- I just don’t want a fic in which OCs are the heroes or the only characters from the tagset mentioned), PWP or porn-centric fic, issuefic, fic written in the first or second person (unless you decide to write meta/diary/letter format, then it’s fine!), holiday or wedding setting or theme, AUs which have nothing to do with canon (cop characters working in a coffee shop, high-school janitor characters in space, etc.)

Alois doodles yeee!!!!!

Doodles of my noblesse oc Alois Elenor from my Millennium AU! He’s the son and first child of Ludis and Rozaria in my au. He’s the main focus of these doodles hehe. Meanwhile his crush Luzia Tradio, daughter and first child of Kei and Claudia, also gets featured here. Alois’ younger sister Susanna Mergas also makes a brief appearance. They’re a funny bunch.

For context, Alois likes Lucy. Lucy likes Alois back but she’s is total denial of her own feelings. They met in a very unconventional way, when Alois caught a very disheveled Lucy stealing rare plants from his territory. Of course she can’t be busted now so she doesn’t say it’s to fuel her secret evil research project. She just says she likes eating them (total lie) and Alois thinks she’s a lil strange but lets her go. He even offers to send her some plants regularly so she’s doesn’t have to come pluck them herself (lol) and things can’t get any better for Lucy. She doesn’t have to be sneaking around anymore AND someone from the inside willingly sending her stuff. Niiice. So she agrees and tells him they’ll meet again soon to discuss this. Alois being the big dumb nice guy trusts people too much actually believes that she likes eating magical plants so he asks for a taste too. Lucy is then forced to make something. To her surprise Alois loved it, and they start hanging out more. Alois then falls for Lucy when he realizes how smart and passionate she is. Lucy’s secret project is still her priority so at this point Alois is just a minor inconvenience and she will curse him and turn him into stone if he somehow discovers her secret project. But for now… his company isn’t bad. He talks a LOT around Lucy, when he’s usually very shy and almost never talks. Blablabla. Boy just feels so comfortable around his crush. Lucy knows he likes her and is using that for now, since this guy supplies her with the materials she needs (he doesn’t know what he got himself into lol) Meanwhile Lucy thinks he talks too much but hey… his company isn’t that bad. She never even thought about making him vomit maggots, when other people who stick to her like this annoy her so much. But he doesn’t. His company is actually quite nice. And when he isn’t here… she actually misses him. Wait. Miss him??? The great and powerful Lucy misses him??? She must be mistaken; she’s just tired from work. Unknown to her she has genuinely fallen for him too though she insists she’s still just using him, that’s all. Ugh. Way to go, queen, let’s see if you can still convince yourself that that’s what it is. She will be the first one to kick someone’s ass if they mess with him. That’s right, because she needs him for her project, nothing more… ahem. She can’t be attached to him. Oh no.

I haven’t decided whether to make one of them confess to the other in the “main” millennium au storyline yet but they’ll definitely get together happily and eagerly if it happens. In what-if snippets they do end up together tho, lol

Onto the doodles!

1. Alois headshot paintinggg my handsome boi. Usually you almost never get to see his eye(s) since he hates eye contact and hides them but when you do you’ll find that they are sharp and full of determination. He’s probably judging someone right now.

2. Alois daydreaming about his crush Luzia aka Lucy. To others she may seem grumpy and scary but to him she’s not like that at all. She’s actually smart, focused, and adorable. He thinks her frowns are the cutest. Ahhh big boi’s in love. He thinks of her everyday. If he doesn’t respond when his sister violently pokes him in the shoulders and face, he’s too focused on dreaming about Lucy.

3. Alois saying hi to Lucy. He doesn’t even know he sounds like he’s flirting. He genuinely thinks he’s just saying the truth. Because she is. Hey, no one else says that to Lucy everyday! Lucy is super flustered. She’s actually really, really happy. Usually she’s the one cursing others with spells but now she’s the one under a spell. His spell. Ugh, what has Alois done to her. Ahhhhh. Also he never shows his eyes to anyone except his family but he’s always looking directly at Lucy when he’s with her. Aww, thats so flattering. Lucy is even happier.

4. Lucy going to sleep cuz that damned Alois has been on her mind all day. Can’t even get him off her mind for a second. Maybe sleeping will help her get distracted a bit. Uh oh turns out she’s still dreaming about him. For clarification none of what she is dreaming of has happened in reality…. but she wants it tho she doesn’t admit it. She never will. Ahhh her sweet Al. Al. Al. Al!!!

5. Uh oh, back to reality. Lucy is super embarrassed and even she can’t believe what she just dreamed of. Time to scream. Mommy Claudia is worried, and wonders why her daughter is so…. tensed up. Lucy insists its nothing lol

6. Lucy can’t face Al for the day so she ignores his greetings and he gets sad. Susa catches up on something… hold up. Oh. Ohhhhhh. Time for popcorn? Her brother’s love life is streaming right now!

7. Al wants to be picked up. Lucy obliges. Ofc this doesn’t happen yet but when it does Al is gonna making nonstop eeping noises. Ohhhh, she’s soo cool….*heavy breathing* meanwhile Lucy is thinking about dropping him flat on his ass, if he drools on her. Nah you like him too much to do that. Cmon stop playing cool lol.
