Hee hoo ask time
7, 9 and 11 for Kelth, and 8 and 15 for Sufford! Sorry if that's too many, you gave me tools to ask for OC lore without having to be smart and i am enjoying this power immensely. Anyway if it's too many just pick what you wanna answer most :D
>:D i am having so many excited-jitters about this whole thing. tingly. i hadn't actually thought about the questions in relation to my own guys very much which. shouldn't surprise me as much but. hee
OKAY OKAY TO WORK rubs hands
Kelth, 7: What is your favourite thing about this character?
well one of the first things about them is that i wanted them to have something to do with programming. because i'm a programmer and i needed more self-insert OCs in my arsenal. SPECIFICALLY i was imagining what it'd be like for someone ingame to try organize their void relic shit without a google sheet. and that kind of. DRASTICALLY snowballed. into kind of this whole blog. there are a lot of smaller things but this one is the one that makes me smile the quickest & most joyfully (angst potential is a close second but that's a more evil grin)
Kelth, 9: Do they keep in contact with old classmates/friends/other Tenno? What is their connection?
well shit uh. i haven't thought about this before so this is shiny new lore (and part of why i love ask games). they don't keep in contact, they don't reach out by themselves, because social contact requirements wise they're fulfilling all their needs with Ordis & the warframes already, and they weren't fantastic friends with the other kids to start with. nothing like bullying, just... they weren't exactly included by the others in stuff. they fit in enough to not be bullied, but not enough to be included. but if they're contacted by someone they used to know (and, if we're going with they both remember The Old Days) they'll be polite & nice & maybe even genuinely enjoy it for a bit. but their social battery would drain fast
Kelth, 11: Are they comfortable jumping out of their Warframe and showing their own bodies to others? Why (not)?
HAHA NO. Noooo Kelth very much prefers to HIDE. Kelth does NOT like the vendors that deny their frame access. Does NOT appreciate them. Kelth isn't tall, and they get tired fast, and if they gotta get out of their frame it's already a place where the frame can't go either so they don't have backup of any kind with them except Ordis in their earpiece. Outside of a frame, they're pretty much only comfortable on the Orbiter. Or, if they're alone with just the frame(s) they brought, out in the open, sometimes. The sun & wind & soft ground can feel nice, though Ordis gets on their ass about sunscreen & insect lotion if they stay too long.
Sufford, 8: Do they have any hobbies?
Sufford spends a decent chunk of his non-mission time training or meditating, though for fun, (please hold, new lore being generated) he likes drawing. Sometimes, he'll design cool-looking blades, and once or twice he's convinced Ordis to build whatever he made up in the Foundry. Otherwise, it's a lot of landscape & creature drawings. I think he also likes to collect cool small rocks if he can
Sufford, 15: Do they have anything that still ties them back to their days as human?
His whole fighting style, to be honest. He's always been a guard, though now he only has one small charge. but now i'm thinking if he perhaps has an Object. i reckon the orokin let him keep his sword if only so they wouldn't have to requisition him a new one. or maybe a portrait of his old family. maybe he had a little sister who he lost track of completely during the old war...

ROPE OF THE WEEK (2):
HAUL-MASTER 1/4 IN. X 50 FT. POLYPROPYLENE ROPE
FROM AQUA HARBOR FREIGHT
(Real equivalent equivalent to Harbor Freight)
HELLO! I’M ROPE MF AND I LOVE ROPES!!!
I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT MY ROPES EARLIER BUT KING DEDEDE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TRY LEAVING THE FOREST MORE OFTEN
AND I ASKED HIM “WHY?”
AND HE REPLIED “WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU LEFT THE FOREST? DON’T INCLUDE THOSE MEETINGS WITH YOUR ROPE DEALERS.”
I TOLD HIM “YEARS.”
SO THEN HE SENT ME TO THE RAINBOW ISLANDS TO EXPLORE THEM FOR FIVE DAYS!
HE ALSO SENT ME SOME STAR COINS TO BUY FOOD BUT I BOUGHT ROPES INSTEAD!!!
I’M GOING TO TALK THIS ROPE I BOUGHT ON THE TRIP NOW!
WITH OVER 645 REVIEWS AND RATED AT 4.6 STARS
THIS POLYPROPYLENE ROPE IS A THREE-STRANDED TWIST ROPE
THAT MEANS IT'S NOT ONLY EASY TO HANDLE, BUT GREAT FOR THE OUTDOORS BECAUSE IT’S RESISTANT TO MILDEW AND MOLD
IT’S ALSO ROT-PROOF
IT’S ALSO DESIGNED TO FLOAT ON WATER
THAT MEANS IT WON’T SINK LIKE MY OLD ROPE DID!
I MISS MY ROPE SO MUCH…
(Rope MF needed a moment to mourn his lost rope)
ITS SLICK SURFACE IS GREAT BECAUSE IT PREVENTS IT FROM SNAGGING
WHICH MEANS IT’S EASIER TO DRAG WHILE WALKING AROUND THE FOREST LIKE I USUALLY DO!
THIS ROPE DOES NOT ONLY DOES ALL THE THINGS STATED BEFORE
BUT IT ALSO DOES. NOT. EASILY. FRAY.
THAT’S AMAZING!!!
THIS ROPE IS SUPER DURABLE
WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE I CAN HOLD AND LOOK AT THIS ROPE FOR LONGER!!!
IT CAN ALSO HOLD UP TO 112 POUNDS!
112 POUNDS WORTH OF ROPES!!!
112 POUNDS WORTH OF ROPE MF!
ONE KING DEDEDE FROM 16 YEARS AGO!
NOW, WE WILL NEED AT LEAST TWO HUAL-MASTER 1/4 IN. X 50 FT. POLYPROPYLENE ROPE TO CARRY KING DEDEDE
BUT MORE ROPES THE MERRIER!!!
YOU THINK THIS ROPE WOULD BE EXPENSIVE WITH HOW HIGH QUALITY IT IS BUT NO! IT COST 12 STAR COINS!!! THAT IS ALMOST 2 KIRBY BURGERS FROM THE WADDLE DEE CAFE
(Based off of some calculations, a star coin cost at least $0.18 and the rope in the real world cost $2.19 (I rounded it down and used the American system))
THAT’S WHY I BOUGHT MANY OF THEM!
I’VE BEEN USING THEM ALL AROUND THE HOUSE
FOR EXAMPLE:
I USED IT THE OTHER DAY TO TIE DOWN ITEMS AROUND MY HOUSE DURING A VERY STRONG WIND STORM
I USED IT THE OTHER DAY TO NOT GET BLOWN AWAY DURING THE WIND STORM
I HAVE ALSO BEEN USING IT TODAY TO DRAG LOGS AROUND BECAUSE MY HOME GOT DAMAGED DURING THE WIND STORM
A SINGLE LIGHTING-BOLT SHOT THROUGH MY HOUSE, SETTING IT ON FIRE!!!
THE ROPE IS A GREAT HELP!!!
IT’S MAKING CARRYING AND DRAGGING THINGS AROUND EASIER WHILE I’M REBUILDING MY HOME!
I RATE THIS ROPE A
10/10

With all respect and love, I absolutely love your fake dating au. If I had to choose an update between that and the kissing fic (or anything else really) I would always choose the fake dating au. There is so much potential! Please tell me you plan on updating and finishing it? If you’re not, can you at least share with us the fic plans so we can have some closure about it? Would you consider letting another author adopt the gif to finish it if you won’t? It really is a Piarles must-read. I hope I can learn the ending!
but see, anon, you DON'T get to choose. only i get to choose, and i have chosen to update the 2023 kisses fic. 😌
... you know, i debated for a long time if i would even bother answering this ask, or just delete it right off the bat. because in my opinion, this is an incredibly rude, insensitive and entitled thing to send to any writer. it was ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO that i talked publicly about how important it is to remember that writers are humans, too, not machines, and to please treat us like humans. and yet here i am again.
i'm going to answer this one more time, and i'm going to answer it in detail, and then in future if i get any asks in this vein, they WILL be deleted without any interaction. you guys are making me consider turning off anon asks entirely, which i really don't want to do, because the other half of my anons are SO very lovely!! but i also have had enough of waking up to rudeness and blatant entitlement in my inbox.
so. why exactly is it that i think this ask is so entitled and insensitive? didn't the anon say "with all respect and love" and compliment my fic at the start of it?
yes. yes, they did. but the thing is, saying "with all respect and love" doesn't mean you can then proceed to be rude to me and it's all fine. that's like me saying "with all due love and respect, i have decided to delete the fic entirely." the fact that i prefaced it with "love and respect" does not make what i did later alright. (although in this case, it WOULD be alright regardless of whether i prefaced it with "love and respect" or not, since it's MY fic and i can do what i want with it.) this anon, on the other hand - this anon has no right to demand anything of me. i am a fanfic author and i do this for free. it is not my job. i have no obligation to do any of this. which means that nobody out there, really, has any right to demand performance from me. (lmao can you tell i have been deep in the law textbooks lately) but the point stands! i don't owe you anything at all.
yes, you can ask me nicely, and i can choose to reply if i want. (hell, if you ask me nicely, i'd probably LOVE to write things for you!!) but you don't get to DEMAND updates from me. and "tell me you plan on updating and finishing // can you at least share with us the fic plans so we can have some closure" is not asking nicely. that's demanding. YES, anon gave me a compliment and they said "with all respect and love." but they're STILL demanding performance from me, and that's not okay. the anon is making it sound like i owe you "closure" (even though this is a work of fiction, not a break-up you're going through, and i think the word "closure" is a VERY dramatic one to use.)
once again (because apparently i LITERALLY CANNOT emphasise it enough) i do not actually owe you anything. i, katie singsweetmelodies, owe you NOTHING. i do not owe you updates or fic plans or whatever the case may be. i might choose to share them with you, yes, but on my own schedule, since they're MY creations made in MY free time.
right. got that off my chest. gosh. NOW! one other thing that i want to make very, very clear before i end this off - i do not give my permission for anyone to "adopt" my work or to write a continuation of it. i am the one who's put in the hours to write all the setup we have so far. i'm not letting someone else benefit off that. if you so badly want a fake dating fic with the conclusion already ready, then you are more than welcome to put in the hours and create it from scratch yourself. but for someone else to take over my work and take it in a direction i probably won't even like? no. absolutely not. permission emphatically NOT granted.
anon: i'm sorry if you feel that this reply is unnecessarily harsh. but this could not have come at a worse time for me, because i really did talk about the importance of treating writers like people just here, just a day or two ago. needless to say, it really struck a very bad chord with me to get an ask like this right after i took pains to explain, publicly, why these kinds of asks are not okay.
i really am happy that you are enjoying the fake dating fic. and i do appreciate that you tried to tell me that, even though the way you did it was completely out of line. i hope that this answer won't... preclude you from enjoying the fic in the future? or something? i'm not sure, to be honest. the whole thing has left rather a bad taste in my mouth.
but one thing i will say to anyone reading this: i know it's been a long time, but just bear with me. i mean it when i say that there will be an update eventually. no, i can't tell you when. i'm not even going to try and give you a schedule, because like i said, i'm a human and not a writing machine. but the fake dating fic is very close to my heart, and i want to see it finished someday just as much as you do. ❤️
(P.S. - if anyone was very worried reading the first part of this answer: NO, i am not actually going to delete the fake dating fic!!! i was just using a very dramatic example, lmao. the fake dating fic is one of my favourite things i've written, and despite the slight... mess... about its updates recently, that's not going to change anytime soon. 💙)

imagine working in the hospital with house but you're just a regular person and you're not harboring any secrets
*walks into the office 2 minutes late*
house: you're late
you: yeah sorry, i got caught in traffic :/ won't happen again !
house: interesting. not only did you apologize instead of pointing out that it was only by a measly 2 minutes, but you also felt the need to provide an explanation as to what you were doing. now either youre a crazy perfectionist and the traffic was so unexpected that it severely delayed you, you have a desparate need for no one to be mad at you, for some reason you want me to like you as your boss, which would make you an idiot because apologizing isnt going to have any influence in my liking or not liking of you, OR you're lying and you were really doing something else this morning that you don't want us to know about, which is why you overcompensated with the excuse-- or you were doing something late last night you don't want us to know about and you overslept. the way your tired eyes are looking at me right now makes it seem like you want me to shut up, so my bet is on that last one
you: um. n. it was just traffic
house: doubling down i see. we'll see how long y
