[blujayonthewing]

WELL SINCE YOU ASKED! :D what's the best way to get to know your d&d OCs?? do you have a collection of info about some of your favorites somewhere? a series of memes? writing pieces? I'd love to have a good starting point to get to know them!

AHH HI HEY HELLO FIRST OF ALL I LOVE YOU FOR ASKING!! I wish I had a good, like-- something succinct to answer with, lmao. I have an OC About Page on my art blog, but it needs updating and isn't accessible on mobile :') I've been meaning to do pinned posts and/or make a carrd or something to intro all my OCs, I just need to get around to it... and like, since all I ever draw or talk about is my OCs I've been meaning to make it a point to prioritize it haha, so, I think that'll be my immediate post holidays project 🤔

as it currently stands, I tag everything related to my OCs both on main and on blujaydoodles with that OC's name, including answered asks and memes and stuff. I also keep up running '[oc name] insp' tags for everyone on main but idk if those would be of interest to anyone but me lmao, they're mostly like, vibes and shitposts and/or aesthetics that remind me of that OC in some way

for now, aside from that about page, I can at least link to their tags (on here, cause I reblog everything from the art blog anyway) :3

Elyss is my water genasi ranger! she's spent half of her life feeling isolated from and unwanted by other people and the other half of her life living alone in the woods, and has spent the entire campaign being surveilled and influenced and betrayed by forces outside her control absolutely constantly, so she has a lot of Issues around love and trust and belonging and control, and a lot of trauma that her campaign's circumstances just keep compounding :') also she's a kill machine, and also she's my longest-running dnd character and still my favorite, my beloved girl

Idri is my forest gnome rogue! she's an arcane trickster whose dad wanted her to go to Wizard College but who opted to join the circus instead because studying tomes all day sounded boring, and when her mentor at the circus died she quit to join an adventuring guild looking for fame and excitement (and to just kinda opt out of processing her grief entirely oops lol no thanks bye) Her campaign is dead in the water so I don't talk about her as much anymore but she's still my lil sunbeam and I lov her ;n;

Juniper is my human druid! She comes from a long line of druids; specifically her family are traditionally the village Wise Woman, but she ran away from home to apprentice with cartographers instead because she's a big nerd (and struggles with suffering and mortality and doesn't think she'd make a very good full time village healer at all tbh) In her campaign she's the only one without, like, Severe Backstory Trauma and she's a mom friend with a martyr complex trying to solve everyone's problems while being wildly out of her depth to relate to anybody else, so she's anxious all the time :'). Also she's FINALLY dating the monk after like two real life years of obliviously mutual pining <3

Aubree is my halfling fighter! She's a lil bit of a roughneck, but fiercely good-hearted; blunt, loud, picks fights she knows she can't win if it's worth making a stand on principle for what's right. She also has a boar called Truffles, whom she found and adopted as an abandoned runt and now rides (and dotes on, that's her best friend). She also died three sessions into her campaign, but she got better, so the story around all of that is, you know, The Whole Thing this campaign is about and oh man it's been A Lot

Melliwyk is my gnome wizard/ artificer! At the beginning of her campaign, the art of creating magic items was eons-lost in her world, so, her whole thing was trying to rediscover or reinvent that process. Now her campaign is mostly about unraveling ancient mysteries (good! her whole jam!!) and uncovering deeply evil and complex conspiracies (wuh oh, not so good!). Her whole thing is she wants to learn EVERYTHING and try EVERYTHING and her originally intended vibe is 'low wis chaotic mad scientist who is blithely unconcerned with risks or consequences', which, she's had a lot of character growth and gained a lot of depth but that's still the heart of her as a concept. Also she has Magical Narcolepsy as the result of a failed experiment, so she spends a lot of time collapsing into an ungainly heap or being carried around in someone else's backpack

Nyssa is my satyr warlock! She's one of my older dnd OCs but there's not as much to say about her because I've never been able to play her regularly :') She's a sweet, gentle creature from a small and closeknit hedonist utopian satyr flock in the woods, so when I have played her it's been a lot of playing with the dissonance in 'gentle pacifist whose warlock magic is mostly aggressive' and 'a satyr trying to navigate Society, with like, clothes and money and (as far as she can tell) no sex for some reason??'

Felix is my NEW BOY that I fixated on instantly despite only getting to play him like. three times. and his campaign probably being dead before it started :') he's a forest gnome inquisitive rogue who loves Finding Stuff Out; he spends most of his time people watching and eavesdropping and taking it upon himself to investigate mysteries just out of curiosity. he also loves small animals and is friends with, in particular, most rats, cats, and small birds

Quick n dirty rundown of other OCs I talk about significantly less, for various reasons: Kethri, my utter sweetheart halfling bard who has found herself thrust backwards in time and, to her dismay, into a position of significant social power for reasons that are still unclear; Tsakesh, my khajiit archer who just wanted to explore some dwemer ruins and examine some weird devices but ended up wrapped up in some daedric end of the world bullshittery; Ambrose, my half-elf bard who is a poet, linguist, and ancient historian studying the ruins of a lost people who all mysteriously vanished at once; and honorable mention to Indigo, my gnome circle of stars druid pirate who's only a one shot character but whom I keep drawing and thinkin about anyway because they're cool 😌

[happyk44]

Annabeth calling Grover her best friend one time and Percy doesn't talk to her for an entire month. When she tries to talk to Grover about the silence, he informs her that Percy has told him that he's not allowed to talk to her because she has to understand that Grover only has one best friend and it's Percy.

She's really annoyed by this and argues that people can have more than one best friend. Percy is also her best friend! And Grover agrees. Yes. People can have more than one best friend.

But unfortunately that rule does not apply to Grover and Percy has very clearly stated that he is Grover's one and only, and then he tells her to have a good day and that he will start talking to her again when Percy does. All of this is related through a nearby nymph like a one-sided game of telephone because, you know, Grover can't talk to Annabeth.

Years later Annabeth brings it up to Percy and Grover with a laugh and is like "ah that was so weird. but at least you're not like that anymore" and Percy is just "what are you talking about?" "you know - you get that we're all besties" "um, no. Grover and I are besties, you and I are dating, and Grover and you are just really good friends"

Grover nodding in agreement with everything Percy says. Annabeth trying to understand how these weirdos are two of the most important people in her life.

"Percy," she says. "we are in a relationship"

"yeah but we're not best friends about it."

"because I'm his bestie," Grover reminds her and Percy fingerguns at her in response

it takes her a few seconds to understand that Percy, despite the passage of time, is still an idiot. and that apparently, despite her previous thoughts, Grover is one too. "don't both of you know the person you plan to spend the rest of your life with is supposed to be your best friend?"

"we do plan to spend the rest of our lives together"

"yeah, Annabeth, what kind of friendships do you have going on where you don't wanna have them in your life forever?"

she's ten seconds from throwing her smoothie at one of them. "no the fucking adage, marry your best friend"

Percy shakes his head. "Annabeth, I can't do that, Grover is straight so it wouldn't be fair to him, and also-" he gestured at her with his hot dog. "I'm dating you and he's getting married to juniper"

"who you don't consider to be one of your best friends?"

"no." Grover shakes his head like she's a little kid misunderstanding a basic concept. "Percy is my one and only best friend, and Juniper is my beloved fiancee, and future wife." Grover gets a dreamy look on his face. "And the future mother of our adorable future children"

"your babies are going to look so cute," Percy says

"i know right?"

They both devolve into speculation about whether or not Grover's first kid will be a satyr or a dryad and what features between him and juniper would make the best combo, while Annabeth closes her eyes and massages her temple, suddenly feeling twelve years old again and beyond baffled because it's been a week and Percy won't answer her emails or the landline at his apartment, and Grover's reason why makes absolutely no sense to her whatsoever

[pilot-boi]

Question: What is fantasy creature do you want to draw and why?

Practically all of them?

I can’t draw animals for shit. The only reason I can draw Zwei and SPECIFICALLY BABY Juniper is that they’re beans with little nubbin legs. My pony drawings are Anatomically Dubious to put it lightly, which I only can mentally accept because there’s magic involved

That being said, I’ve always loved chimeras and the like. Manticores, chimeras, cockatrices, sphinxes, all the monsters that are combos of normal animals are rad as hell

It should also come as no surprise from my various AUs (FAAU, Fallen Angel, Wings, FMAU) that I’m a fan of creatures with extra limbs. Pretty much if you take any animal and slap wings or too many legs on that thing, I’ll be a fan. Same with eyes and heads

Body horror my absolute beloved. I’m not even really IN the MLP fandom, but I’ve been reading the hell out of all the infection AUs cause I love the nonsense they do to those critters. You fuck up a normal creature/person, I’ll be your friend forever

So yeah. That’s the types of fantasy critters I wish I could draw

[poisonpercy]

Watching episode 2, here’s my thoughts

Stalker Annabeth and the “You drool when you sleep.” My girl!!

“PETER JOHNSON IS HERE!” Lol

“Yeah, Grover, I heard him the first time.” Mr. D is so funny. I feel like he’s severely underrated in book canon

“But did you?” Sassy Percy my beloved

“Excuse me your highness.” Lmao. I love how Mr. D cringed at that

Nooo not Mr. D messing with Percy and making him like that he’s Percy’s father 💀💀 Honestly, that scene is hard to watch. It’s too embarrassing for me lmao

The way that Chiron was just standing in the doorway is funny 🧍‍♂️

“Oh, no, Mr. D is not your father.” “I could be.” “Yes, but are you?” “Why must you ruin everything?” Lol Chiron and Mr. D are an underrated comedic duo

Mr. D telling Grover not to overthink it is cute. Glad to see that Mr. D’s care for the satyrs is present in the show

I like how Annabeth showed Percy around camp in the book. Chiron showing Percy around is fine, but it was better with Annabeth

Camp looks cool. It doesn’t look anything like how I personally imagined it, but I like how they made chb. The cabins look cool. A lot cooler than I ever imagined them lmao

Chiron’s horse ass 💀

The blue jellybeans 🥺

Luke my beloathed

IS THAR JUNIPER????! Or just some random wood nymph

Mr. D and Chiron as besties. You can pry that from my cold dead hands

“I assume that they would get really squishy or something. Like an old banana, maybe.” Yes, Grover, that’s exactly what would happen if a human was crushed to death. Grover’s not even wrong. His delivery of the line is just cute and hilarious

Mr. D is my favorite character so far. His casting is perfect imo. No notes

I like how they’ve done Percy’s nightmares so far. It’s kinda cool how the nigh are scenes are just there without any explanation so you as a viewer are like ??? but the moment you see Percy jerk awake you’re like “oh, nightmare!”

Luke explaining demigod qualities to Percy instead of Annabeth?? Please stop stealing roles from my girl

Hearing Luke speak makes me want to scream. I know what you are, Luke 😠

Clarisse!!! I love her. Her actress is so pretty

Badass demigod in a wheelchair doing archery. Ok, I absolutely love that!

Percy sucks at archery. Love my loser son

Percy in welding gear is so cute. He also sucks at it but at least he looks adorable

“Is there a Greek god of disappointment? Maybe someone should as him if he’s missing a kid.” Oh, Percy. He’s so relatable. Love this little dude

“They like the smell of begging.” Lmao

Percy burning the blue jellybeans to talk to his mom 🥺🥺 Percy saying he thinks he’s made friends. I just know Luke’s betrayal is going to hurt

“Ignoring me is one thing, but he doesn’t get to ignore you…I’m going to make him see us both.” Momma’s boy 🩷🩷

Clarisse’s delivery in the bathroom scene is so good. Love her

That being said, the bathroom scene is not great. Very underwhelming

Annabeth just stalking Percy is hilarious

Leah is such a good Annabeth. Absolutely love how she portrays her. That’s my daughter!!

“She’s my little sister.” Then why did you betray her, Luke. Why did you ask her if she loved you in the 5th book, Luke 😒

NO WHY ARE THEY PRONOUNCING THALIA LIKE THAT?!

The weapons and armor look so fake to me

Annabeth calling Percy sunshine is so cute wtf

ANNABETH FIXING PERCY’S STRAP ON HIS ARMOR!!!

Annabeth’s invisibility cap is so funny. I love it

The swords are so tiny??

Percy just by himself in the woods during capture the flag is so funny. He’s just a baby boy

I am once again saying that I love Clarisse. She’s perfect

Percy is doing so good during his fight in capture the flag. Also Clarisse’s scream when Percy breaks her spear is hilarious.

“Were you here the whole time?” “Yes.” STOP THIS IS WHY I LOVE ANNABETH

“I’m sorry.” *pushes Percy into the lake* Love that

Claiming scene is boring. The book does it better

Also no hellhound? What’s up with that? That’s kind of important

“Who stole it?” “You did.” “What?!” PERCY BABY I’M SORRY BUT THEY’RE FRAMING YOU. MY BOY IS INNOCENT (except for all the atrocities)

“I am Sally Jackson’s son!” “Who’s Sally Jackson?” “She’s the one that cared enough to call herself my mother!” <- I love momma’s boy Percy

I kind of wish Percy figured out Sally was still alive and wasn’t told. I like how they handled Percy accepting the quest in the book better. It felt more authentic to Percy’s character

Ok, I like this episode a lot better than the first one. They’ve changed some things around that I think they should have kept, but otherwise the show is looking good. There was not enough Annabeth in this episode. I don’t know why they are taking away all her roles and giving them to other characters, and I don’t like it. Give me Percy and Annabeth bonding before the quest or give me death. I still feel like the show is not doing a good job of showing me why I should care about the characters and the plot, but I have hope that that changes

[simplepotatofarmer]

scout and juniper are the beloveds!! what are their pronouns? how did they end up orphans? did they have a drift at some point and do they remember them at all? do they have a caretaker they go to more than the other? who do they each take after more? what do they refer to dream and techno as? what do they refer to the rest of the anarchsit commune as? are they friends with michael??

(feel free to answer as many or as few of these as you want :) thank you for sharing your wonderful au with us!)

they're toddlers so they don't super care yet but juniper uses she/her and scout use they/them!

in the aftermath of dream and techno fleeing through the nether, trying to gather supplies, it sets off a bit of chain ghast reaction. players hanging around the nether for too long has that effect. i haven't completely thought it out but i'm thinking ghast explosions, maybe deflected, ends up hitting a hunting party that was out hunting for hoglins. in that mess, the twins end up losing their caretakers and while dream is like 'techno we have GOT to go', techno is just 'and leave the babies man???' and dream wants to argue, he does, but he can't. he knows techno and he knows himself.

as for who they go to more, it kinda depends on the point in time. this is my only au that doesn't start post-prison but the prison does happen as does the torture, it's just not as long. like juniper at first is so attached to dream. she thinks he's cool and wants to be like him! and that doesn't really change after the prison, it's just that she doesn't exactly know how to approach him. he's quieter and jumpy and hurt and she's just a baby who is kinda loud and clumsy but she's tough! and techno can help her learn how to use that.

scout, at first, goes to techno more often. even though techno is really big and kinda scary, he immediately picks up on their awkwardness and does his best to make them comfortable. techno tells stories and scout loves stories! they're a very empathetic baby. and so after the prison, they know dream is different and so they do the baby babble in their softest baby voice, telling him a story and sitting on his lap because that's what techno does when they're scared and it helps so that's what scout does.

as for what they call dream and techno, their actual names are a bit too much for toddlers who are just getting a grasp on language and like all young kids, just tend to call their caretakers something easy. so dream gets 'didi' and techno gets 'zaza' because Ts are hard. they don't fall into any sort of traditional roles, honestly. they're quite literally just two friends taking care of some babies, y'know?

everyone else at the commune just gets referred to by techno as either 'uncle' or 'aunt' except for phil who gets 'grandpa' so the twins just call him 'gaga'.

and one day they will be friends! i just haven't decided exactly on how it happens.

[here-2suffer]

Okay, questions then.

Hmmmmmmm

1- Default one (like, the one you always insert in stuff or the one you are most invested in)

2- first one you made (was it for an established fandom, or own work?)

3- what are their names? (Are the names researched or did you just choose a name that you thought would fit them)

4- do you and them share traits? (Started as sona, evolved into oc?)

5- do they have established birthdays?

6- do you have non-juman ocs?

7- their favorite foods (and yours?)

8- do they have family?

9- do your OCs know each other?

10- is there an op oc?

You don’t have to answer all of them or even answer; hope this is in better format!

1. I actually make different ocs for different fandoms lol. I'll share 3 for examples. Cindy, I made her for The Promised Neverland. Angelica, I made her for Deltarune (and possibly Undertale). And Sherylnn, I made her for FNAF (specifically for the DCA)!

2. My first oc was Ocean, she was started out as a sona but quickly became just an oc. She went through a drastic change in character design lol.

3. Okay Ocean, Cindy, Toshio, Angelica, Angelo, Alaster, Sherylnn, Juniper, Zeke, Sheila, and an unnamed one because I can't figure out a name for her.

4. Oh yeah, I actually based most of them off of a part me lol. Idk if I should share the traits or sides tho-

5. Hsnsjsnsjs no. I usually say that their birthday is my birthday and that's that, but now I kinda want them to have different birthdays lol.

6. YES YES YES!! TOSHIO MY BELOVED JSJSHSBJSJS He's my Hollow Night oc! Though he doesn't live in the world of Hollow Night. Hdjsjsj I still love him tho, my normal and not traumatized baby.

7. I don't have favorite foods, too indecisive for that lmao. Likewise, they don't have any favorite foods either, because I can't even choose for them either 🥲

8. Most of them, yes. Toshio and Unnamed don't have a family. They just vibe.

9. Yes, but only because family. Angelica, Angelo, and Alaster are siblings and Sherylnn, Juniper, and Zeke are siblings too!

10. Definitely. Toshio because he lives in a weird world, but he almost never uses his powers because there's almost never a need for them, Sheila because, well, that's my sona so she will have control over everything, and Unnamed because she's a diety, almost like a goddess, and she doesn't care what she uses her power for, good or bad, if it's what she wants then she'll do it.

Name: Jane Teagan Frost

Nickname(s): My Little Bookworm (by her mom), Plain Jane (by James), Janey 

Main Ability: Cold Aura- The user can release and surround themselves in/with cold for defensive and/or offensive purposes, possibly becoming almost untouchable and granting them various abilities/attacks. The aura may also give the user enhanced physical capabilities such as speed, strength and durability. (Source: Superpower wiki) 

Personality: 

Jane has been the family’s beloved little porcelain doll since the day she was born, it was clear she was very delicate the way she’d cry out in pain when held too tight or if she was fed too much. The little cracking noises when she’d burp only to be followed by expressions of agonizing pain in the only way a baby could communicate. Her condition is painful but doesn’t really affect her on a wide scale as her hobbies allow her to take things physically at a slow and easy pace. Especially since her parents were not very good at not singling her out for this. Her dad would often put back her books himself as he didnt want “his princess to overexert herself and get hurt.” Though Jack and Suzy never held this against her intellectually, in fact they often praise her to this day, impressed by her way with words. Jane cherishes her memories of her and her dad falling asleep cuddling, her tightly clutching the book she was reading aloud. Sometimes it was a benefit to her as she wasn't expected to become an apex predator like her siblings and could basically do whatever she wanted. Being just quiet, Jane isn't naive and has always been the type to game the system where she sees a chance, but your mom wanting to feed you because you looked a little uncomfortable after swallowing your food gets very old very fast. Watching her family from the sidelines may have left her lacking in physical killing skills but she can snob it up with the best of them. She sees herself in many of the rich eccentric benefactors she reads about, using their vast wealth to educate themselves far beyond the common person. She would make a very helpful librarian if you could handle her constantly correcting your grammar and speech. It’s something she gets from her mother, looking down on those who lack proper etiquette, deliverance, and grooming. Despite this she is actually very eager to help out! Both her family and those who may come to her seeking help. She understands not everyone was born into the position she was and that books can be a wonderful opening to a world of skill and opportunity. She herself knows that sometimes all it takes is one helping hand. Her sister Juniper caught onto the fact that she was very intelligent and very eager to show it and decided to take her under her wing. Well it was more like: Can you take notes? Can you recite and keep track of supplies? Wonderful, come with me. Jane is forever grateful to Juniper and sees her, along with Josephine and James, as the gold standard. She’s doggedly loyal to authority in general but this is something that the three of them, especially Juniper, reinforce within her. She considers it a privilege to witness the countless scientific discoveries Juniper has made for the benefit of their species and was even a large part of many of them. Their relationship has grown from scientist and assistant (who of course are sisters who love each other) to some of the closest members of the family. Their different perspectives are invaluable to the process of innovation but more than this, they’re utterly in sync nowadays, even if Jane doesn’t have Juniper’s sense of humor. The rest of her family may forever see her as a lovable baby but it’s clear as day now that she’s majorly capable and deserves all the credit she’s come to receive. Especially from her parents and even James, who invites her to do things with him now more than ever. There was once a time she was teased besides being babied, somewhat of an ally and a bridge between the older kids and the younger ones still coming into their potential. Nowadays, though, Jane has climbed atop the ladder then pulled it up with her. 

Future Spouse: N/A

Future Children: Rosalind

Trivia

Her favorite kinds of books are ones that are hard to read, adventures in their own right like House Of Leaves, Ship Of Theseus, Foucault’s Pendulum, etc. Ergodic literature! 

This is her disability: www.tumblr.com/frostcorpsclub/…

Ask her about forbidden spellings! Ask her ask her ask her!

She often talks in paraprosdokians.

Has a very off putting way of helping people who aren’t in her family, kind but not nice. She’ll criticize and complain all the way but go out of her way to help you even if you don’t ask.

She has a bit of skill in cooking as she and Juniper eat at odd times while doing experiments and she knows Suzy has a lot of other things to do.

Honeybee????

!! My beloved wip which I am wrestling to title (although I might just go with june-bug, or maybe something better will come to me as I continue to write)

This one is some Reggie POV to round out the sunflower series, in which he and Julie being baby Juniper to visit his grandparents a handful of summers later (with background Queerplatonic Peterpatter and Juke)

Here's the current beginning:

Reggie takes in the pale blue farmhouse, inviting as ever, and breathes out evenly, bracing the baby on his hip. She's still dozing, drowsy from the long trip, and he can't resist dropping a kiss to her curls.

He glances at Julie, who smiles reassuringly. She touches his arm. 

"Ready?" 

[uc-beepboop]

Hi more brainrot lots of words feel free to read or nah. You can do whatever I just wanted somewhere to dump my thoughts and, perhaps, someone else wanted to ask and give me their two cents. Cuz I kinda throw shade at my beloved D&D podcast, but not with the intention of actual criticism, just of what occurred during arc 9.

I had this idea of writing this fanfic one shot of (Arc 9 of UC incoming) Juniper Erydis and Julian Crimeboy meeting but now I’m faced with this problem.

As mentioned in the verbal component, Gus mentioned that when he played Julian and Grace played Juniper they ran up against this issue that ultimately the two characters just were NOT compatible with each other.

Essentially: Julian wants autonomy, to be seen as someone who is capable, NOT a babied 11 year old child. Juniper wants to have a child that she can act as a protector, even as she recognizes that she’s not a good mother, she desperately wants to be a mother for Julian. That means she enjoys Julian for his cute 11 year old appearance and his child-like attitude. Well, Julian hated that.

During the arc, there were a couple of clashes between the two characters due to the reasons I typed up.

Now how does that relate to my brainrot?

I literally don’t know how to write these characters pre-arc. I don’t know their dynamic, and even as I listens to the pre- arc 9 one shot, it was still hard to piece together this happy Julian and Juniper dynamic.

Right now my way of dealing with this is to write an extremely traumatized Julian and a less confident (in regards to dealing with Julian) Juniper. But dang, that’s not the dynamic that these two characters should have held for like 5 years. I wanted to go explore something that occurred on the side like a little one shot, but I never can find a way to resolve it well enough so that it fits into that episode 1 interaction between the two characters.

Anyways yeah after I’m done with my like 4k long fic of arc 6 I’ll get to something else eventually! Highlight on eventually!

[waspgrave]

playing a mini side campaign based in our regular dnd game and o god i love my character so much. Her name is Juniper Harwynn, an alchemist artificer, and she’s basically fantasy walter white without the god complex or a jesse to verbally assault at all moments of the day. Instead she has a floating/walking cauldron she named Bubbles, who is her beloved baby (and not sentient but she likes to believe her love could make it so one day)

[attonitos-gloria]

Spruce?

Pine?

Juniper?

(I didn’t look 👀 sorry I love chaos)

BABY HI

juniper ➳ what personality trait does someone need to have for you to feel safe with them?

ahhhh, it's hard to feel safe around people, but i'd say kindness? like, good-heartedness. i think there's a sort of openness to the world in the act of being kind. it means you're not assuming the worst of your fellow human? there's a lot of legitimate reasons to assume the worst of people and trauma plays a big part in that, but... cruelty, i think - like even benign forms of cruelty, like certain forms of joke or certain ways of treating people, make me automatically coil inside myself like those sensitive plants that close when you touch them. what about you? i don't think i've ever asked you this.

pine ➳ what is the greatest thing about being you?

i don't know. i say this a lot, but it's really the best thing about me: i am a good listener. i could hear you speaking for hours and i would genuinely love it. my favorite thing, listening to humans. i'm even trying to make a job out of it o/ but the important question, beloved, is: what is the greatest thing about being YOU?

spruce ➳ if you could wake up tomorrow with one new quality or skill, what would it be?

i would love to wake up tomorrow morning just being the best drummer ever. like. simply knowing it (i think i never told you that, kAIODHaios i'd love to play drums but i'm terribly clumsy.) or maybe knowing a new language - maybe French? ahhh. what new skill would you like to be stored in your brain tomorrow morning?

A CACOPHONY OF CHIRPS;

A strange family who lived in Bangor, Maine suffered a great loss. The year was 1979, and a thick blanket of snow covered the town. Two charming, young, happy, newlyweds lived in a middle-class home, and wanted a child ever so desperately, but no matter how hard they tried, their efforts were fruitless. After months of trying, the wife wept under their juniper tree, which had been left behind by the previous owners of the house. 

“Why can’t I have a child?” She sobbed,  hugging herself tightly for warmth. “I just..I wish I could have a child and  make my mother proud.” The winter howled in response,  causing the young woman to shiver. 

The voice of her beloved husband called out, “Janet? Are you out here?” 

“Yeah..one second,” she weakly responded. 

Less than two months later, a miracle had arrived! The newlyweds wife was with child. 

“Peter!” She exclaimed,  waving the positive  pregnancy test above her head, “Peter, I’m pregnant!” Her husband quickly hugged her with a large smile on his face. 

“That’s amazing,  Janet,” Peter cheered. 

Nine months later, a baby boy was born in the late spring,  but this joyous occasion did not last long. Five hours after giving birth,  Janet Kane died from complications during the cesarean section. Heartbroken, Peter named the boy Jason, Jay for short,  after his late wife. Jay was gifted with his mothers beauty. He had black hair, red lips, and tan skin (The tan skin was the only thing he inherited from his father). Janet was buried under the juniper tree in their backyard with a small service and small tombstone. 

Peter moved on quite quickly from Janet, after all, he now had a child to care for. Months after meeting a stunning woman named Jennifer , he swiftly married her. Jennifer  was a rich woman who inherited her fathers fortune after his mysterious death. Jennifer had a daughter of her own named Mary. Sweet Mary loved her little step-brother, but was too terrified to stand up to her mothers harsh punishments for Jay.  

In late October, the weather was  akin to the winter Janet wept for Jay. Jay biked home from elementary school, speeding through puddles and narrowly avoiding third-graders. He was excited to see his sister, who got home from school an hour before him since she was in high-school. When he was only blocks away from his home, he stopped his red bike to observe his favorite animal; birds. 

Jennifer was sick and tired of that little brat Peter loved. Jay always toddled up to her, asking for hugs and asking if she wanted to tuck him in. Jennifer didn’t marry a lowly carpenter because she cared about him or his stupid son. No, the rich bay stater married him for the insurance money. After Janet had died, Peter inherited many fortunes worth of cash. The redheaded woman grew up filthy rich, and lived off her fathers money until her late thirties, when he passed. She wore lavish silk, designer brands, and only drank the finest alcohol and smoked the best cigarettes. Turns out, her father grew tired of her and wrote her out of his will, which she didn't know until she went to claim her inheritance only to find nothing. Once Peter died, all that money would be hers to spoil herself. 

“It’s not selfish..I deserve to be filthy rich, right?” Jennifer mumbled, knowing deep down she was in the wrong yet unwilling to admit it. Her ochre eyes scanned the street through the window, looking at the elementary schoolers biking home. Without warning, Peter drunkenly stumbled into the room.

 “Where’s Jay?” He asked, slurring his son’s name. He smelled of cheap whiskey and cigars, both things that Jennifer despised. She stepped away from him and covered her nose. 

“He isn’t home yet, he's probably stuck in the rain,” she replied, even though she didn’t care where her step-son was.  Maybe he did everyone in this house a favor and dropped dead. She kept that thought to herself and went to their freshly painted, yet gaudy, kitchen for a can of Mello Yello.
