In your personal opinion, how old would you say the kids are from oldest to youngest? I recently got the warped beyond recognition pdf and been reading it on and off the past few days. They all seem to be in the same general range, but imo Sonia feels like the oldest based on stuff in the module and just, general vibes. The other kids feel more vague though and I'm curious on your opinion :)

-🎇

The vagueness is likely on purpose, to allow Wardens to put their own spin on things and choose how they'd like the test subjects to act and feel. If Sonia reads to you as the eldest of the six, then that's what you should go with!

Admittedly by this point in our campaign, we've been with them for about 2-3 years now, so they've grown quite a bit. :) But, strictly speaking by the information given by the module, I'll give my input.

Yu reads to me as one of the eldest, but that's likely a result of the circumstances she's been under. She strikes me as someone who was forced to grow up and mature much faster than she should have. Most of the fear and panic she invokes comes from the sheer physical state she's found in (her body completely turning inside out over and over again), and the damage she does to others is accidental. She isn't lashing out like the others, she just doesn't know what's happening and she can't control it. In our campaign, she's grown to be very independent and quiet. She has no desire to come with us on spacing trips or jobs, she'd much rather stay on station and dedicate herself to her religious worship. We're letting her do that, of course. Recovery looks different for everyone, and what's important is that she has the choice to do what she wants.

Jonesy is described matter-of-factly to be "the smallest and youngest" by Paradiso (developer of WBR) in [this Making Of video they've posted here.] In the book, Jonesy's described to be wearing an "ill-fitting jumpsuit" which suggests something to the effect of "the smallest size jumpsuit is still baggy on him". I however chose to read this line as "Jonesy might be very tall for his age, but he is very thin and fragile. Therefore any clothes that fit his length end up being very wide on him." Cray (our Warden) liked the second option a lot :) I also think a bit of his younger, child-like qualities comes through with his abilities. His entire thing is about imagining things that aren't really there. Imaginary friends, maladaptive daydreaming, finding comfort in escapism. That all strikes me as someone who is still depending on their creativity and imagination to help them through any hardships they face.

The other four are a bit more up in the air. Cray said that the whole lot of them were anywhere between 16 to 18 when we first encountered them, but exact ages were never settled on.

They all admittedly have qualities that can be described as immature; Evander basing his whole persona on action movies he's watched, Miriam lashing out simply because she's scared, Billy searching for praise and affirmations from the scientists during his testing, Sonia's playfully dark sense of humor... But you could also lean more into other qualities to make them seem more mature. Both Evander and Sonia have years of military training; Miriam has proved to be very strong, very dangerous and capable of horrible violence; and Billy (despite his ego) is extremely well-read and intelligent!!

It's really up to the Warden and the players to help figure out their personalities, and how far you'd like to lean into their different qualities to help get that across.

Hi, there! Hana

I was checking out your Tumblr and when I looked at the archive, I realized you've been on Tumblr for almost 10 years (and i was me thinking feel my account old when it was only 4 years old, xD). Would you say your experience on Tumblr has improved? Or somenthing to think and reflex about given so many changes on your blog I was curious. :0

Hi Miriam 💞🫂🌺

I honestly thought my blog was older than that 😂😂💞💞

I just realized this means it’ll be ten years for me next year on tumblr and my 5th anniversary when I started writing. I’ve been writing about half my time here. That’s so wild?? And astonishing to me?? Time really zoomed but it’s been so much fun, no wonder I didn’t notice. 💞💞🌺🌺

My experience on tumblr has change vastly, especially within the last 6 years or so. When I first joined, it was more for the book side of tumblr.

I really didn’t know how tumblr worked back then but I wanted to follow my favorite author of the time, Vivian Vande Velde because I was obsessed with her Dragon’s Bait book. (I should reread it; this just gave me a nostalgia hit lol)

From there I found some of my other fave authors like Shannon Hale (goose girl was my fave) and Allison Croggon (pellinor series my beloved).

But at one point? I grew bored. The book side of tumblr wasn’t really active and since I didn’t know how tags and posts worked I left my account to be dead for a bit.

And then I got into Miraculous Ladybug a few years later and, oh boy, it was something else to be in an active fandom. Back then, I only focused on reading in ao3 and fanfic.net but many creators mentioned mlb on tumblr so I checked it out. 🥰🥰💞💞

And it was an explosion of content and people, I loved my time there no matter the cause that eventually made me leave. I still do like the fandom but am not as hyper focused as before. At the time, I was a heavy reblogger and commentor. It was my peace and escape because school was a special type of hell. 🙏💞💞

By the time I left that fandom, I got into twst. It was different at the time. Active and small for the time but still bigger than any game fandoms I’ve been in before. (Besides kh of course)

Initially, I only reblogged and commented as usual and got to know familiar creators that are active still and some which are gone. Through this time I met some precious friends and eventually, I posted my first fic since….I want to say about over a decade since my first fanfic ever?

It was a nerve wracking experience to say the least. But much like now, the ideas would not be denied and I thought why not? Let me post it. During that time, there was rarely any diasomnia stories and as a Lilia lover, I wanted to contribute to the community. 💞☺️

I started writing more as both a hobby and a distraction from school lolol and then I started learning more about tumblr.

I learned how to make a masterlist, edit banners for them, input hyperlinks, where to find dividers, made a pinned post, learn to properly tag, etc.🧐🧐

All of this I learned because of my time in the twst fandom. Then I got my first ask, and I still remember the Anonie who sent it, and I was excited!! 💞💞🥰💞

Interacting with people was fun! Usually I interacted in the comments but omg?? People were coming to me to chat in my inbox?? It was so much fun being in the community and talking to others. It was honestly my first time being so included?? Or well, being in a community where people wanted to actively chat with me. 🥹💞

It was very different from my younger years in fandom. But of course, I also learned about how new fandom acts nowadays compared to old fandom and I learned about discourse (not debate), bullying, etc. It was astonishing?? Because my time in fandom has always been inclusive no matter what you liked or didn’t like. There was respect for everyone. So I learned how to block and filter and I learned new terms fandoms use nowadays too.

All this I learned as I became more active in more fandoms and the changes brought by pandemic to the fandom atmosphere.

I went from a small silent corner of the internet to a more active corner with people who want to talk to me and read my thoughts/fic and check in on me. It’s still a me corner but it’s not so lonely anymore.

It still surprises me that I get asks, comments, and tags. That people, while I’m not as active (well writing wise because wow I was writing fics and answering asks so quickly I’m still astonished how I did it; hey body? Mind? Can we go back to that??) as I used to be in say 2023, still want to talk to me?? Interact?? It really makes me happy ☺️💞💞

I still get surprised and astonished that people remember me and my works. That I have fans who love my works back then and even now. I get shy but happy to hear I’ve been able to contribute to the fandom experience in any way. ABSJSJS you can’t see it but the way I kick my feet and get shy, half the time I don’t know how to reply to compliments 😭🙏💞 even now I still don’t but I try my best.

All of this started with one Lilia fanfic? That I took the courage to post??

I’ve been called Lilia’s wife, his bride, someone said I was the head of the general Lilia club, I remember another that mentioned creator of all Lilia works, I’ve also been called nice and kind, people have said they have notifs on for me, I’ve got art and fanfic created for me, etc

ABSJSSJWJS and it makes me happy?? But also?? How do I respond?? How do I show my joy?? That’s part of why I started spamming emojis because…if you know me or been here for a while, I speak formally a lot and write it as well. That is one way for me to express myself and my joy. I also use memes and puns alot too. To try and express at least a sliver of these emotions.🥰🥰💞💞💚💚

Throughout these years? Especially the last 3-4, I have met so many nice people and friends I cherish greatly. I don’t always express it well, but each and every person has left a mark on me.

Has my experience on tumblr improved?

Tremendously. I won’t deny there hasn’t been down sides on my years here. That there hasn’t be aches and pains, but that’s life and time moves on. We learn and we make new experiences and continue to thrive and have fun.

Here, on tumblr, I’ve been able to meet all kinds of people from all over the world and in all different timezones. Something that would not be possible anywhere else. Something that’s not easy irl. People who are mature and calm (compared to other platforms) and understanding. I’ve met people that I cherish greatly everyday and am greatful to have in my life.

Meeting people that understand me and have same hobbies as me. And to experience that in a community? No matter how small or how long the interaction. It’s really fun and wholesome. It’s what makes us human and something that nothing could replace. I’m grateful to be a part of it however I can be. ☺️☺️🌷🌷

…omg why does this sound like a semi-autobiography?? 😂😂 I didn’t expect to write this much ahajsjsjdn 😆😆💞💞 I’m going to shut up now lolol

Sorry for the essay and thank you for the question Miriam, it’s was nice reflecting on the years here.

[nulli-cat]

You asked us, now Let's ask you!

Who are your favorite Characters in Dungeon Crawler Carl?

Top three at least 😎🙏 side or main, either or!

I LOVE CARL (a normal amount)

he's relatable. he's like me if I was a 26 year old 6'3 guy with anger issues

I also love donut as well. she's so silly and funny. I obviously like cats (look at my name)

I don't count them because they are literally the main duo so of course I have to like them.

Miriam Dom!!!! If I was in the crawl I would NEED to meet her!!! I love motherly characters in fiction (idk what that says about me). she seemed so sweet. She's my fav. I am her #2 fan. (#1 is Prepotente)

Katia !!! she seemed sweet as well. she'd be cool to hang out with.

ELLE!!! I love her! she's so sassy and dare I say cool. she's one of the best side characters. I would also like to meet her.

[starmaniamania]

2, 14, 21 (i forgot what the numbers mean so they're random)

2. Favourite scene?

Absolutely NO CONTEST!!! This moment erased a vital part of my brain the first time I saw it and now I can't live without it anymore.

14. Have you seen the show live?

Yes 😅

21. Should Johnny have picked Cristal or Sadia?

WELL. I think it depends, right? Like, obviously if Sadia is a double-agent who's not sincere about fighting Janvier (and being into Johnny), then he was right to ditch her.

If Sadia was actually sincere and only joined Janvier *because* Johnny betrayed her, then it's more open to discussion, because someone who's so devastated by your leaving that they'll kill to get you back is... um... okay, very unhealthy to be with BUT this is fiction 😅 And we like these kinds of all-encompassion passions.

Would Johnny have lived if he'd chosen Sadia over Cristal?

I think there's two ways of looking at it: Starmania is full of mirrored storylines, so do we think Sadia and Cristal are mirrors of each other, in that they're both inhabited by The Cause and would both put defeating Zéro over being with Johnny?

I think there's a chance that, if Sadia was sincere about the fact that she sees Zéro as "l'ennemi #1" then she would end up trying to blow up the Tower instead of Cristal, or get them both killed in another way, and Johnny ends up singing the SOS over Sadia's body instead.

BUT, what if Sadia and Cristal are inverted mirrors of each other? Cristal is initially an innocent who, through meeting Johnny and falling for him, becomes politicized. What if Sadia were initially a double-agent who, through meeting Johnny and falling for him, decides to leave politics behind? Would he have found his "quelqu'un à aimer" through her? Would he have asked her to leave with him, and would she have agreed, leaving politics behind? 🤯

(Or, maybe Sadia being on Johnny's side instead of working against him means they succeed?? They actually kill Janvier and then... Profit??)

I need someone to write 30 fics about this, STAT!!!

9.  DANCE :  for one muse to ask the other to dance at a party.

The music was a low thrum beneath the laughter and clinking glasses, something smoky and slow winding through the air like perfume. Luc had been watching from the edge of the room as half-shadow, half-spectator, nursing a glass of something old and expensive more out of habit than desire.

His gaze flicked to her before she even approached. Miriam. A bloom of motion in the blur of the party, eyes bright with intent, like she'd already made a decision and was just waiting for him to catch up.

When she reached him, he didn’t speak at first. Just tilted his head, like he was reading something behind her eyes. Something unspoken and burning quietly.

And then: “Careful,” he said softly, setting the glass down with a gentle clink and straightening to his full height. “Ask the wrong man to dance, and he might never sit down again.”

But there was no real warning in it. Just that usual flicker of mischief beneath his tone. That dark-eyed gleam that said he was already hers for the moment—she just had to reach.

He held out his hand, fingers curling in subtle invitation. “Go on, then,” he murmured, a slow smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Ask me properly.”

Not because he needed her to. Because he liked the sound of it.

[cepheusgalaxy]

tell me abt ur ocs

:DDDDD

i'll be overjoyed to:

I'll. Stick to just one cast of ocs from one single wip or else we gonna stay in here all week. ;)

(this got a bit long. cws for fantasy eugenics and conditioning under the cut)

♤ Polaris!

Living weapon/child soldier <3 The first one I ever created, actually. One of my oldest ocs in general. I used to daydream ab him in bed as a kid.

He lives in a world where everything and everywhere is taken by war. It's the grand thing of the story; there are multiple human-like races, very similar between each other, and somewhere over the course of history they started fighting over the right calling themselves the 'true and only humans'. Each one wants to dehumanize the others and come out on top of the war. This has been going on for a while.

Polaris is born and raised amidst all of this. He is a lab baby (i ❤️ lab babies who were "made for this") and was genetically engineered to have the 'best' (arbitratrily decided) characteristics of each race, in order to be a human weapon for the nation he was created in. As such, by their standarts, he is not Human like them; he's an hybrid. A "mulatto". Subhuman. He was raised with these ideas shoved in his head, growing determination to fight for the True, Worthy Humans ("its a privilege to do so! he is immensely grateful of being allowed to") and end this war on their side, to bring the others, worthless beings like him, down.

He was trained to be a soldier and a killer from the start, but he hates killing. Human or "not-human", it drives him up the walls when he tries to sleep. Polaris has been carved and primed to perfection, sure, but he deeply despises it. But it doesn't matter, he thinks. It doesn't matter, because he is not even human. He was given the privilege of fighting for the true cause, of stopping all the killing and dying. the sooner the humans win, the sonner he can stop killing. god, he just wants to stop please let him stop of helping end the war! And that's all he truly wants, at the end of the day.

Part of his arc is focused on overcoming his conditioning and his self-hatred, working with the other protagonists to end this mindless eugenics war :) He is also blond, because I love blond characters. I've considered making him black with a nice fade undercut, which i'm still over the fence about, but for now he is blond.

♤ Miriam :)))))

She is of a different 'race' than the one Polaris "serves". She is from a military academy, training to serve her nation in the war; and she is good. Miriam is a star student at Solaria, the best academy in the Amirah country. She is similar to Polaris, in a way. Also brainwashed by the eugenics kool-aid, believing she is doing the right thing by fighting in the war.

She is, at the start of the story, what you could call a... "benevolent racist". Miriam wants the war to end. And for it to end by their hands, the Humans (TM), because the other races would turn the world into havoc if they won. But them? No, they would be good. They would rule above with a kind hand. They would provide all the races everything they needed and lead them into an era of peace and prosperity; if any other people won, they would enslave or kill the remaining, but them, being humans, would not. They deserve to be at the top, and when they do, all will end well amd nobody will have to be hurt.

THANKFULLY her arc is also around overcoming that view 😭😭 Miriam is really nice and kind. She really believes in that tho. She also has red hairrr. And when I said she was a star soldier I wasnt kidding.

♤ Zaire

The star! The protagonist! He is actually the only one from the main trhee who doesn't buy the eugenics.

Why?

Why, he was raised outside of it all.

Zaire's homecountry, Itarja, is (was) a little isolated island where people could live without divisions of "humans" and "nonhumans". A safe haven amongst the war. Most people are "mixed", like Polaris.

One day, a certain nation invades and "purges" them.

Zaire (whose nickname is Zai, also hes transmasc! yippieee) is one of the few dozens who manage to flee to a neighbourhooring country (Amirah!!! Miriam's!!!) who accepts to welcome them as quasi-citizens if they can serve. Zai is put with some others into the military, because he has a bit of the genes of the people in Amirah. He meets Miriam there, who protects him from more cruel bullies (she does see him as a friend and worthy of respect, because she isn't as radical in her eugenic beliefs as most the others, because Miriam is a very compassionate and passionate person st heart) and their first contact is mostly focused on changing the other one's views.

Zaire has white hair (i LOVE white hair. along with pink, black and blond its my fav hair color EVER) and i associate him with the color lilac. He is soft, although a bit harsh around the edges since he is not very good at dealing with emotions, and being shoved into this war out of a sudden is very painful to him. He looks like a pessimist, but he is also very passionate and wants to end this war as soon as he can. In a way, his, Miriam's and Polaris's goals, although their motivations vastly differ, are mostly the same

♤ Honorable mention: Aalyah

Aalyah is Miriam's younger brother!! :DDDD He is younger my maybe two years or three, and he looks up to her a lot. When Miriam goes "missing" and is assumed dead in field, he is devastated. This leads to his revenge arc, where Aalyah starts to grow a never-ending hate for the Non-Humans (filthy, cruel, undeserving) and joins the military as well, following Miriam's footsteps, becoming one of the most brilliant agents of his time, all to avenge her and honor her memory in the only way he thinks is worth it:

Corruption arc :))))

Needless to say, he gets a blast when they finally meet again

Ty sm for the ask!!!! I love talking about them :)

If you ever want to check them, I have picrews for Zai and Miriam, and a few drabbles with Polaris (here/and here/also here, trigger warnings listed at the top)

(Also fun fact: for the reasons mentioned above, the name of the story is twotht: "the war of the human throne")

[oceandiagonale]

So, for Spare the storylines had different impacts. Arven got her to like humans more because of his willingness to take on great risks to help his pokemon heal. That and he started to help her understand cooking and food more as he came to understand that her reluctance to eat stuff is a result of fear and uncertainty. With Penny and Team Star, she learned not to judge a book by its cover, and since she wasn't dealing with any sort of actual evil team, no serious violence happened. She also empathized with Penny's desire to stop the bullies and oppose injustice, but the idea of unintentional consequences...also like Penny Spare isn't good with people, so they vibe on that. Nemona... was there. She was powerful and skilled and was a good fight...but ultimately it didn't matter, Spare was already a champion by that point and fulfilling one of her primary purposes.

Then we get to the whole robot professor who has highly limited free will and has to follow plans of its creator, even if it came to disagree with them and considered it a catastrophe. Even though it wanted to stop the time machine, it couldn't, and even though it asked Spare to stop it, the robot also acknowledged that it would be forced to try and stop her. This was the big existential crisis because it got Spare to question how much free will she actually has, or if she has her own "Paradise Protection Protocol" that could be switched on. She confessed her status as artificial and her fears about what that could mean to Penny as, out of all of her friends, she was the one Spare considered the best at working out the logic of it and how to test this sort of stuff. After a small freak out, Penny agrees to help Spare figure out just how human she really is (the answer is 100%, they just didn't know it yet).

the hard part is figuring out how to test for humanity -- is it genetic? behavioral? are they just trying to see if Spare can go directly against what Arceus wants? they're going to have a hard time figuring that all out at first 😔

though frankly there's nothing quite as human as going through an emo phase when you're 12-13. Middle school years are sufferingggggg

[cannibalovers]

Jack... Jack. It's me, Miriam. I can't see anything. I was so wrong. I was so wrong. Jack, please... I don't want to die like this. Please!

[pixelartparker]

Hii, could you do Makedonski from the gray House?

Of course! ^^ So this was a tricky one to translate into my style but I did my best and... yeah. An attempt was made lmao.

I hope you like it :)

Suggestions, tips, and requests are welcome!!! I don't do any NSFW but I'll create for any fandom. Feel free to use this for something if you want. A like, reblog, or follow if you do would be appreciated!

favorite queer couple?

xx

many have my heart like dani and jamie from bly manor, but miss spink and miss forcible from coraline have to be on top 1 <3

[blog-name-is-an-analog-horror]

So all of you are bonded together somehow, as I understand it? How were you able to find one another? My apologies if this is too invasive of a query.

Huh, guess no one else is online, weird

But essentially, yes, that’s basically how this has worked. We all started having interconnected dreams nearly a year ago and have been stuck with each other ever since.

Although it actually hasn’t been until recently than any of us have met in person, but as of now Lunar and Venus are in Sinnoh and Silver and Erin are in Kalos. I do hope the others all meet up in the same place one day, it’d probably be good for them.

[myristicisms]

miriam, is it true your type is super super ugly fugly men??? *insert those weird edits of dante's face*

Fine eyebrows furrow, confusion glimmering within cerulean eyes before she bites back a soft groan. The edits in question certainly do make her tastes look less than superb but... “ Ugly? I mean... Maybe a little scruffy and pathetic but ugly? Hm... Hey! Wait no! My type is not ugly men! It's pathetic losers which I fear is worse. ”

Meme Time

Over in the OC community I’m apart of, there were some memes posted and I got a few questions there, so I’m gonna put all the questions asked there in one big post.

And since an oc wasn't specified, I'm taking this as an opportunity to answer the question for all of them. I'll also do the questions that were put on the red emoji post too, since that also wasn't specified and I'm feeling chatty.

Spoiler warnings for IkeSen, IkeVamp, IkeRev, IkePri, and Obey Me as a lot these answers are gonna pull from various routes and story lines as I like to mix and match ideas to suit my needs for my OCs' stories (Ex: Clara is romantically involved with Nokto and a lot of her story follows the events of his route, but I also like to pull elements from Rio's route to enrich their friendship, things like that.)

Other things of note, I'll be talking about various themes depending on the question. Some things will go into topics like depression and things adjacent to that. There's also gonna be talk about sex and sexuality, thoughts of having children, and various other things that might be uncomfortable for some readers. The questions are featured first so you can skip between them if one of the questions makes you uncomfortable.

The Memes:

Emoji Asks (Orange Edition) (Yellow Edition)

(Red Edition)

Put below the cut because, yeah, it got kinda long.

See you lovelies below~

------------

🌅 (sunrise) What does your oc look forward to every day? Do they have something to look forward to in the first place? What makes them wake up in the morning? Why do they want to be alive?

Houki (IkeSen)

Houki wasn't really the type to look forward to anything when she wakes up in the morning. Before she had been worm-holed, she was a noble lady of leisure, spending her days reading for hours on end, really only stopping when her mother nagged her to be more social or the servants gently prodded her to make sure she had eaten something every few hours. Now that Mitsunari was in her life, she looked forward towards to saying good morning to him, and to him responding back with how much he loved her.

Ophelia (IkeSen)

Answered here!

Thea (IkeVamp)

Thea looks forward to seeing her loved ones every day. The people she sees has changed over time, but the act of greeting her loved ones in the morning is still something she looks forward to each day.

Abby (IkeVamp)

She is also the type that doesn't look forward to anything in particular when she wakes up in the morning, save for after she and Vincent got together. Like with Houki and Mitsunari, she and Vincent say affirmations of love in the morning. She looks forward to hearing Vincent's voice in the morning, quietly whispering sweet things to her in sleepy Dutch.

Maddie (IkeRev)

Maddie looks forward to having breakfast with Harr and Loki in the morning. They talk about their plans for the day, local Cradle gossip, and teasing Harr for putting apricot jam on his toast a little too thick… again.

Clara (IkePri)

Clara looks forward to going to the bookshop and seeing her regular, smiling customers. She loves helping out fellow book lovers find their perfect books and it gives her recommendations for her next read.

Miri (Obey Me)

Miri looks forward to every day because there's always something going on. Devildom always has something happening so she's never bored in her day to day as there's always something to do.

------------

🍊(orange) - Is your oc more selfish or selfless? Are they willing to sacrifice themselves or their goals for others? Why are they this way?

Houki

In a way, Houki was more selfish in that she used to only pursue knowledge just to know it, not that it had much practical use or that she used the knowledge she had to really help anyone, save when she was transported and she saw the importance in helping out, especially with Mitsunari.

Ophelia

Ophelia is selfless, despite having the moniker of the 'Ambitious Widow'. At the end of the day, she just wants to make sure her family is cared for and will go to great lengths to make that happen, sacrificing herself for their sake.

Thea

Thea is willing to sacrifice some of her goals for her loved ones because they are important to her and she wants them to succeed in their endeavors.

Abby

Abby sacrifices herself and her goals to please the people around her because she wants to keep up the image of the 'good, devoted daughter', even if it's extremely detrimental to her mental health.

Maddie

Maddie is selfless, willing to sacrifice some of her goals for her loved ones so she can help them pursue their goals. She wants to help out because she feels it's the right thing to do when people help her first, so she's naturally going to return the favor and help them out when they need it.

Clara

Clara is selfless, willing to sacrifice some of her goals for her loved ones and only a little bit of herself. She kind of had to if she wanted to pursue a relationship with Nokto, now King of Rhodolite. She changed her social class for love and has a lot more responsibility placed on her now that she was going to be a queen.

Miri

Miri is selfless, willing to sacrifice herself and her goals to make sure her loved one succeed. The demon brothers helped her come into herself, becoming more confident and understanding of the new world around her and she cares about all of them as though they were her family too.

------------

🏵(rosette) - What is your character’s most prized possession? Is it something they could never bear to part with? What makes this object so special?

Houki

A book of fairy tales she bought for herself while she was in the Sengoku era. The writing system here is a little different compared to home and at first she had tried to read one of the tactics books that was lying around Mitsunari 's room, but found it too difficult to read. So, after she had earned some money working as Chatelaine, when there was a book seller in town, she and Mitsunari searched among the seller's wares for something simpler for her to learn from. It's special to her because it shows how much she has learned and adapted to Sengoku life. It was also one of the first books she read to her son, helping to inspire his love of reading as well.

Ophelia

She isn't the type to place sentimental value on objects because she doesn't know when that object would be taken from her like other things have been in the past. If she's keeping something, it needs to have practical use, else there isn't a sense for keeping the object if it's just going to weigh her down. Which is why she holds onto the hairbrush that Kennyo gave to her once they became close. It's sturdy and has a use, plus it has flowers on the handle so it's nice to look at some days.

Thea

Her sewing kit! She's had it since she was a little girl. Her mother and her dads helped to gather the materials together so it has a lot of sentimental value to her. It's light blue with flowers on the lid.

Abby

Her first sketchbook. Le Comte had gotten it for her when he saw that getting her dresses wasn't making her happy. She had asked him if she could have his discarded invitations and letters so that she could practice drawing on them. He gives them to her, but the wheels were starting to turn in his head. So, he takes her shopping later on to the stationary shop she gets Arthur's and Mozart's ink from, feigning that he was looking to get a new pen and wanted her help in selecting one. Comte makes small talk with the shop owner, making it look like he's distracted, but he's watching her as she browses the shop, seeing her linger on a particular sketchbook, a look of longing on her face. He secretly tells the owner that he also wants to buy the sketchbook the young lady is looking at (along with some basic drawing supplies) and to have it sent to the mansion later on that day. She cries a little when she sees Comte next, explaining that no one had gotten her one before because her family didn't like her pursing art, but she wanted to so badly. After a bunch of hugs and a few more tears, he reassures her that her passions won't be denied here, that he wants her to do what she loves. It's one of the reasons he's gathered some of the greatest minds together in his mansion, so that they can pursue what they loved in their previous lives, so it would be hypocritical of him to deny her that much. After that, aside from doing chores with Sebastian, she was rarely seen without it. Vincent even had the foresight to take it with him when he traveled to the future to find her, taking comfort at her little doodles and studies while he searched for her.

Maddie

A necklace that's been passed down through her family, originally belonging to her great grandmother (who was Alice the First). She was wearing when she traveling to visit her grandparents in London when she ran into a white-haired gentleman that wore glasses. He was pleasant to her and apologized for knocking into her, but her necklace had been replaced with a pocket watch, and when she had tried to get her necklace back, she followed the white haired man to Wonderland, whoops.

Clara

Her copy of Midnight Cinderella: Alyn. It was the first book in the series she had read as a young girl, looking for a more challenging read after she had exhausted Mr. Akatsuki's stock of children's stories at the time. It helped inspire her love of romance stories and her love for the Midnight Cinderella book series as a whole. That well-worn copy means a lot to her.

Miri

The items that the brothers gave her in order to be able to summon them to where she is when she needs them. A lot of them have sentimental value to her. Pictures with Asmo that evoke special memories, the script from the play she was in from Levi, the body switching book (now powerless) from Satan, the keychain that was the mate to her original one from Mammon, etc. Lucifer's Ring of Light, while also his summoning token, it originally serves as a tempering object for her magic so that it doesn't go out of control as it has done in the past.

🍑 (peach) - What are your character’s thoughts on sex if they have any? What is their sexuality? What is their sex life like? Do they even have one?

Houki

She sees sex as more for procreation than anything, only getting bold on occasion or when she has bouts of curiosity (it's how 'The Experiment' happened) (it's one of my rare full-on smut fics so I won't link it here, but you can peruse my masterlist to find it).

Though she doesn't have the words for it, by modern standards, she's closest to demisexual with a dab of bi-romantic (as in her home game, her first suitor was a warrior princess that was just at the Summit meeting for the free food and to look at all the pretty girls, which is valid of her, tbh.)

Otherwise, she doesn't have much of a sex life as it doesn't interest her much outside of fiction.

Ophelia

Ophelia isn't interested in sex as she has other things to worry about, plus she has some trauma with her previous marriage so she's even less likely to get sexually intimate with a new partner because of that. By modern standards, she's closest to a sex-neutral ace with some touch aversion (specifically towards kissing). She doesn't have a sex life nor does she want one, thanks.

Thea

Thea is polyamorous as that was the kind of relationship that her parents had, her mom and her two dads. She really can't choose between Theo and Arthur as intimate partners, so she didn't and is in a relationship with both of them, loving them in tandem. Her sex life is wild, as I'm sure you can imagine.

Abby

At first, she was scared of it, wanting nothing to do with it after a snooty rich boy forced himself on her. With Vincent, he always gave her reassurances and would stop if she was visibly nervous or unsure. He always wants her happy and comfortable first above all else. And after his constant reassurance and telling her how beautiful he thought she was, they got her to her first orgasm. As her confidence grows, she gets bolder, and after they had been apart for a year, they spent their first night together not separating (literally) for long. As for her sexuality, she's demisexual. Vincent was her first love and she wants him to be her only love.

Maddie

Maddie is bisexual. She thinks of sex as an expression of intimacy. You show your most vulnerable self to another at their most vulnerable self and there's something beautiful about that. She's pretty exclusive to Harr these days, helping him to build confidence in himself, letting him try what's comfortable for him and only pushing a little a time, just to get him out of his shell.

Clara

Though she doesn't have the words for it, Clara is demisexual with an active sex life thanks to Nokto being a horn-dog. At first, she preferred just reading about sex in her books, clinging to tropes that she hoped to experience in real life. Unfortunately, becoming Belle turned those plans upside down, especially after she caught Nokto's eye.

Miri

Miri is pansexual. Gender expression isn't a factor to her when it comes to liking someone and given that she's in a relationship with a demon, how someone presents themselves, gender-wise, seems small in the grand scheme of things. She sees sex as a way to show someone that you love them, as mentioned in Maddie's entry, it's a way to get emotionally close to someone. As for her sex life… well… her partner is a demon, literally. That should be descriptive enough in of itself.

👑(crown) - How does your oc feel about power? Do they hold any? If so, what kind of power and how did they attain it? If not, would they ever want power? How do they feel about those that hold power over others?

Houki

Houki, while from the nobility class, her family was branch family to a much bigger complex main one, often ignored for the most part and left to their own devices. She is cautious of those in power as they can often force you into doing things you don't want to do. She was forced into a role her cousin had ran away from, and she couldn't refuse the role else her family would lose favor and funding from the main family and her family wasn't about to let that happen. She doesn't want power because it can quite easily be taken away, something that's still true even now when she's in Sengoku era Japan.

Ophelia

Doesn't trust anyone holding power over her. Though her family was from the nobility class, they were poor nobles and were often at the mercy of other, richer nobles. Not to mention her home country recently went through a political upheaval, uprooting the old royal family and putting in a new one. So, yeah, she has a strong distrust of those with a lot of power. She does not want power as that is something that can be taken away, very easily and very violently, as she's seen almost personally.

Thea

Thea is probably the most neutral of my girls towards authority figures, if you can call it neutral. Nothing really bad has happened to her specifically and her relationship with authority, but her mother has instilled in her to at least be cautious around them. Her dads lived through a time where being open about their relationship was, at best, frowned upon, while her mother was a victim of inaction because someone had more money and power than her family had and paid for their silence. She wishes she had the power to make authority less corrupt than they are, but she doesn't have that kind of power and to undertake that task would be a horrific uphill battle.

Abby

Abby doesn't trust authority figures all that much as, like Houki, they have a tendency to make you do things you don't want to. And in Abby's case, her distrust comes from authority's inaction. Those in power have a way of making things they don't like disappear, horrendous actions as if they never happened at all, and no consequences for those horrendous actions. Abby was a victim of inaction and she's been scared and distrustful ever since.

Maddie

Maddie's position as Alice the Second gives her leverage in a power struggle between the Red and Black Armies. If the Red Army has Alice on their side, they can overtake the Black Army and assimilate them for total control over Cradle. The Black Army obviously doesn't want that to happen, so they want Alice to be on their side, so that they don't lose their sense of identity and freedom. Maddie, having this role thrust upon her, isn't too pleased with the situation as the Red Army often uses underhanded tactics to bring her to their side (kidnapping usually being a favored method of theirs) and really, she just wants to go back to the Land of Reason at the end of the day, so being thrust into a war she wanted no part of puts a sour taste in her mouth.

Clara

Clara is in a unique position, being Rhodolite's Belle, where she can observe the authority directly and have authority of her own on how her home should be run, namely that she's choosing who will be the next king. It's a big responsibility, especially with the threat of war and/or assimilation from the other nations on the horizon. She didn't want the position initially as, again, it's a big responsibility to choose who's gonna rule over your kingdom. Holding the fate of your kingdom in your hands is intimidating, after all. She pushes through, however, choosing to the best of her gained knowledge of the princes and for what she thought was best for Rhodolite, given the circumstances.

Miri

Magical abilities aside, she kind of fell into power by virtue of who she associates with. She's in good graces with the local royalty along with seven of the most powerful demons in the Devildom. Not only them but she's also has friendships with some high ranking angels, one of the most powerful sorcerers in the Human Realm, and a reaper. Miri is surrounded by a lot of influential people, to say the least.

With her ties to many kinds of powerful people, she wants to use those ties responsibly, to try and bring a sense of harmony between the three worlds, not an easy feat especially when the worlds are at odds with each other with tensions that can be cut with a knife.

🐥 (baby chick) - How does your oc feel about parenthood? Do they have children? If not, do they want any? Why or why not?

Houki

She sees it as an inevitably, being a noble lady, thus she's expected to provide children. She's fairly neutral on the subject of children, as in she doesn't care one way or the other, she just know she's supposed to have them someday to be a good wife or whatever. However, due to health problems, she was only able to have one son, Shigenari. She's felt bad that she can't do more and has said that she would be understanding if Mitsunari wants to take on a mistress to make up for her inadequacy, but Mitsunari never does, just proud that Houki and Shigenari are healthy and happy, and that's enough for him.

Ophelia

Ophelia isn't interested in children as she already had her fill of them from her siblings. There were too many of them and not enough to go around and she didn't want to put any child what she went through. She's also infertile, meaning if she even wanted them, she can't have them biologically, not with the technology available to her in Sengoku Japan. Adoption pretty much is her only option if she really wanted to, but it's not likely at this point in time.

Thea

Thea thought about it and thought 'yeah, maybe someday!' And then someday comes and she's got fraternal twins, a little boy that looks like Theo named Vincent and a little girl that looks like Arthur named Mary Louise. Comte and Leonardo are confused about that one too, given that children produced from a vampire and a human is rare enough already, the fact that the twins also look like both their fathers is also baffling. She loves her kids regardless.

Abby

Her and Vincent’s first kid came as a surprise to both of them. She had a vague sense of 'yeah, maybe someday' with Vincent after they babysat some of their artist friends' kids occasionally, but then they're separated for a year, spent their first night reunited 'catching up' and then the symptoms started, taking both of them by surprise. Abby was the more worried of the two, given that she and Vincent didn't have a lot between them nor did she know if she was ready for parenthood. She and Vincent talked it out, deciding to keep their little guy, Theodorus, named after his uncle Theo. Abby gets in touch with her extended family and they help her get a bigger place to live and all the baby supplies they could ever need. She loves her son and watching him grow. Then, she found she was pregnant again. She wasn't so scared this time, having her safety net and that she knew what to do this time, thus giving her and Vincent their second son, Wilhelm. Then it happened again with their third child, a little girl named Anna Cornelia, affectionately called Cora. So, yeah, parenthood has grown on her, loving all her kids as they grow up. She couldn't imagine her life without them now.

Maddie

Maddie isn't really interested, wanting to focus on her studies and her business more. If it's in the cards for her, she's not gonna be mad about it, but it's something that isn't a top priority to her.

Clara

At first, it wasn't really a priority to her. She liked playing and interacting with the kids in town, but that was about where it ended for her. Except then she became Belle, fell in love with Nokto, and the two were married not long after. Then, there were pressures began from the nobility at court, strong hints that the king needed an heir, some being especially harsh towards her because she was a commoner originally, some telling Nokto to his face that he should have a noble wife so at least his children will be legitimate. Nokto ignores them and takes her away so they can talk privately. He reassures her that he will look to her for her decision. If she wants kids or not, that's up to her and her alone. He's got seven other brothers, after all, one of them is bound to have a kid at one point or another and he could always name that kid as his heir, it wasn't as big of a deal as the snooty nobles were making it out to be. Clara thanks him, feeling better about the issue.

I'm still on the fence about giving her and Nokto kids. Maybe I'll change my mind in the future about it, but as of this posting, there are no plans to give them kids.

Miri

She's got too much going on for her to think about having kids of her own, what with also trying to keep with the demon brothers and that's a job and a half. If she ever does, she certainly is ready for anything any potential kids could throw at her!

That aside, I have had some late-night thoughts of different AUs of her having kids with Diavolo and Simeon on different occasions, so I'm not completely opposed to the idea, but in her main timeline, she's not interested in having kids at the moment.

------------

🎺 (trumpet) - Is your character talented at anything? How did they gain this skill and why?

Houki

She's really good at reading books and retaining the info she's earned. She earned this skill because it's one of her main hobbies and she loves reading a lot.

Ophelia

Maybe not especially talented at it, but she takes small pleasures in caring for a garden. It gives her time to reflect and think without anyone around her, plus, if she's particularly frustrated that day, she can take it out on the weeds and dirt. She had been away from Nobunaga and company for a while, looking for something to do, and had saw that the local garden had been neglected, starting to be overgrown and messy. It was something she sometimes dabbled in back home when she wasn't being called to meet with various nobles and she somehow always felt more at peace when she was in a garden, she could never put her finger on the reason, but she always just liked working in a garden.

Thea

She's really good at sewing. She can make whole outfits in a matter of days, just give her the material, some thread, and let her go to town. She developed her talent for it thanks to her mom and her dad Benito, who both had interests in fashion and making clothes, thus inspiring her love of it as well.

Abby

She's not as good as some the other artistically-inclined members of Comte's mansion, but she likes drawing and painting with watercolors. She wasn't allowed to pursue it until she came to the mansion, thriving under the great minds that surrounded her and the love and support to help her continue following her passions.

Maddie

Singing! It ties into her powers, but she's always loved singing, coming up with little tunes on the fly when she was little and singing along to whatever tune was playing on TV or the radio.

Clara

She likes baking, bread especially. It was one of the first things she learned to cook and it's something she's created bonds over, with Mr. Akatsuki, Rio, and Yves, so bread has a special place for her because of that.

Miri

She's a quick study at magic! Any spell that's placed in front of her, she'll be doing it in no time, something Solomon is quite proud of.

------------

⚠️(warning) - What is your oc’s go-to weapon? Do they prefer melee weapons like swords or brass knuckles or do they prefer guns and other ranged weaponry? Do they even use a weapon? Why or why not?

Houki

Houki isn't a fighter type so she's never had the need for weapon, never really been in a physical fight. The one weapon she has is her wit and she will use it how she sees fit.

Ophelia

Another non-fighter so she doesn't have a go-to weapon. I remember in the beginning of her development I had given her an iron fan, but that's not especially useful for hand to hand combat. If she has to choose between melee or ranged weapons, she's going with the ranged ones. She doesn’t have a lot of physical strength, so something that can be handled easily and where she doesn't have to be close to her opponent, the better.

Thea

Another non-fighter, but she was given the choice, she wants melee weapons, swords especially. She thinks they're cool and always wanted to own one.

Abby

Especially not a fighter, she prefers to avoid combat all together, she doesn't want to be involved at all. She doesn't want a weapon as she doesn't want to fight and that's her stance on that.

Maddie

Her weapon is her voice. She uses magic through making suggestions to inanimate objects, made stronger if she's singing while doing it.

Clara

She's, first, a non-fighter, but will use the skills she does have to protect those weaker than herself. Given that she works in a big bookstore, she has super strength from lifting books and shelves since she was young.

Miri

She has a magic staff that she can change the size of to help enhance her magic. When she's in combat mode, it's as tall as she is. In everyday mode, it's a necklace she wears around her neck.

------------

💄(lipstick) - What does your oc think of their face? Do they have a positive or negative opinion? Do they wear makeup? Do they have a skincare routine? What traits do they like most about their face?

Houki

She thinks her face is okay, for the most part. She only wears makeup for special occasions, so she doesn’t wear it often. She only washes and dries her face as a skin care routine and that's pretty much it. As for what she likes about it, she thinks her eyes are a pretty color.

Ophelia

She used to wear makeup all the time because she needed to keep up the image of a rich noble lady, and that included wearing makeup. She doesn't do it as much anymore since she doesn’t have a pressing need to wear makeup in her day to day. She will use a cream at night to help with dryness tho. What she likes most about her face is that, aside from the mole on her chin, she's never had a pimple or blemish, a miracle with how much makeup she used to wear.

Thea

She thinks her face is okay, but it doesn't lend itself that well to historic makeup styles because of all the freckles on her face. She does think it's fun to wear dark red lipstick sometimes though, to emulate the 1930s-1940s makeup style because she thought it was a fun style and likes to try out different styles when she can. Skincare routine-wise, she'll wash, dry and use a powder when she goes out in historic styles, as was the style of the time. What she likes about her face is her smile. She thinks it's nice.

Abby

Abby doesn't like her face that much. Extra oil and acne haven't done her any favors in the confidence department and creams to try and correct the acne have left her with some scarring. Some makeups irritate her skin so she really can't wear very much of it very often. Thanks to her time in le Comte's mansion, she's had help in finding products that help her skin out, some of which are still manufactured in the modern day (or at least close equivalents.) If she had to pick something she liked about her face, well, she thinks her nose is okay? Something small and button-like. It's got its charms.

Maddie

Maddie likes her face! She loves to wear makeup and look pretty! She makes her own soaps and creams so her skin always looks great. Her best feature, she thinks, is her smile.

Clara

Clara thinks she's got an okay face, not outrageously beautiful but not ugly either. Just something normal. Ever since she took on the role of Belle and had to be a noblewoman to hide that secret, she started wearing makeup more often and using creams to moisturize and clean her skin. She thinks a freshly washed face is the best feeling after a long day. Her best feature is her eyes, specifically her long eyelashes.

Miri

Miri has grown to like her face more than she used to. At first, she didn't really care that much about it, only using basic soaps to clean it and living with the dryness left behind. Since coming to Devildom and getting her pact with Asmo, he has dragged her into making regular beauty routines, helping her to pick out what this or that product is best for her skin and, now, she has fun when she looks in the mirror, seeing the pretty sorcerer she's become over time. Makeup-wise, she doesn't really wear it save for special occasions, like fancy dinner dates or upscale parties at Diavolo's castle. Her favorite feature is how soft her skin feels, especially after a spa day with Asmo.

------------

🥊(boxing glove) - Has your character ever been in a fight? Did they win? Do they fight often? Are they professionally trained or self-taught? Do they enjoy fighting or only do so when necessary?

Houki

Physical fight, no. She doesn't know how to fight save for what she's seen from her time in Sengoku era Japan. She has been taught one self-defense move by a warrior princess she met, but doesn't know much else other than that. She doesn't enjoy fighting, preferring to only do so when it's absolutely necessary.

Ophelia

She has not been in a fight and would prefer to keep it that way.

Thea

She has been in a fight before, when she was a kid. She and her mom had made her a Halloween costume together, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz's blue gingham dress. She was so proud because she had (mostly) made the dress all on her own and she looked pretty cute in it, thank you. But, some school bullies started calling her names and making fun of her and her dress. When she had finally had enough, she attacked the main bully, giving him a piece of her mind with her fists. She had to be pulled off before the fight was settled. Since then, when she came to 19th century Paris and had a run in with some scruffy lads, she asked Jean and Napoleon to teach her proper self-defense, so she could look after herself should she find herself alone and getting accosted again. She doesn’t like fighting as a whole, but she does deem it necessary sometimes, if nothing else to protect herself from harm.

Abby

She doesn’t like confrontation, so she hates the idea of getting into a fight, period.

Maddie

Maddie has been in a fight before, technically, also when she was a kid. Some kids were making fun of her for various things (her singing, that she's fat, other mean things that kids will say), so, while it wasn't intentional on her part, she had made a fake flower as was her hobby at the time and thanks to her powers starting to bloom, all her negative feelings were transferred into her flower. Since she didn't know she had powers back then, imagine her surprise when her bullies started bothering her again only for them to be strung up by their ankles from the ceiling by a giant string plant stem, embroidered flowers dotting it everywhere.

She had to transfer schools because of that but she did win that fight, technically speaking.

Overall, she prefers to take peaceful routes, trying to avoid a fight if she can. But if she can't avoid it, she's still got enough power to put an end to the fight quickly.

Clara

Clara has been in a few fights before. Mr. Akatsuki taught her some moves so that she could protect herself when he wasn't around to look after her (and if Gilbert ever found her, so she can protect herself from him, according to Mr. Akatsuki). She mostly uses her skills to protect those weaker than herself, even standing up for Rio once early on in their relationship. She prefers not to fight unless she has to.

Miri

Miri has been in a few fights, yeah. She prefers not to fight unless she absolutely has to, wanting to talk things through first before she has to bring out the magic. Solomon has been her teacher in magic, teaching her defensive spells, healing spells, summoning spells, and various other incantations useful for daily life. She also learns some curses from Satan, should she ever need them.

------------

🧣(scarf) - What comforts your oc? Is it an item? An action? A person? Whatever it is, how and why does it comfort them?

Houki

Thick book she can hold onto. The heaviness grounds her back to reality, that she's holding onto something heavy and tangible. It comforts her to know that.

Ophelia

Holding herself. Sometimes, if she's holding onto one of her arms, or if she's got her arms crossed, she's probably trying to self-soothe herself. She's not the type to immediately reach out when she needs help, so she's often left comforting herself in small ways and this is one of them.

Thea

The smell of fresh laundry. Doesn't matter what the object is, if it smells fresh and clean, that's comforting to her.

Abby

Sitting some place quiet helps her to calm down. Her room or the library in le Comte's mansion were her go-tos when she was there. She wants to be away from the noise and that quiet comforts her.

Maddie

Talking to her loved ones, it's usually the quickest remedy of comfort for her.

Clara

Holding onto one of her favorite books, or any book really. Thick books are best for this. Books are a frequent comfort for her when she's feeling down, so that's her go-to.

Miri

She talks to her brothers and her friends if she needs some comfort. Something about talking about what's bothering her always makes her feel better. She's also quick to do the same if they need it, always willing to be a listening ear for her loved ones troubles.
