uncommon questions for ocs and creators

Maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do

idk exactly How long, definitely several hours, but probably Harpoon could last the longest. she is a guard, that probably requires a bit of patience.

the least is probably Ahme I haven't posted any art of him here yet but if you follow my toyhouse youve maybe seen him around. he doesnt really like to not be doing stuff, too much time for things to get serious or think about what could go wrong. probably could only go a few minutes before trying to find something to do

28.  Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth? 

For Sparks <3 knowing all she has to deal with, I’m curious how she feels about this sort of thing

[Uncommon Questions for OCs and Their Creators]

28) Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth? 

×××

That's an interesting one, I think.

It immediately comes to mind, when Sparks was with Jonesy in the med-bay closet while the Fidanza was being boarded.

They were right next to the cargo bay, and could hear every single gunshot, but had no clue who was actually surviving said gunfight. Adolfo and Evander were a part of that gunfight.

She's been a Coward ever since, and it's been almost 3 years since then. She still hasn't shot a gun with actual bullets, despite owning and carrying an SMG. She just uses her tranquilizer pistol (which shoots darts instead).

Jonesy pulled Sparks into a different reality, put out illusions of a warm bakery, smells of real homemade bread (something Sparks has never had), and the sounds of chirping birds just outside the window. Jonesy took her somewhere far, far away from the horror, somewhere that felt safe.

They were still huddled together in the med-bay closet, but they wouldn't have to hear or think about the horrible things happening just a room away.

Sparks doesn't like to lie to others, and hates being lied to.

Lying leads to bad karma, after all.

Sometimes though... She can't really blame someone for lying.

15. How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?

Being an experienced businessman (and con artist, not to mention a criminal), Rift always knows what to say, and he knows what others want to hear, making it easy to trick them and get whatever he wants.

He is not a toon of many words, sticking to what's strictly necessary, hating small talk and seeing it as a waste of time, if he needs to know something then he will go straight to the point and expect a just as straight answer.

He has default answers to a lot of questions, mostly business related, replying almost automatically and even a bit mechanic “No, there’s no refunds” “You lost? shame, better luck next time” “You got a complaint about the deal? Well you should have paid more attention to what you were signing” and do not make him repeat himself, unless you don’t mind getting shocked.

8. What were they told to stop/start doing more often as a child ?

for Maple

She would have been told to stop being scared and start sticking up for herself many times-

When she was a kid, she was kind of a doormat, so people would pick on her easily. But she also had the "I don't wanna be mean" and "I don't wanna hurt anyone" mindset, which made it hard for her to defend herself-

[memento-morii-ua]

I wanna do this!-

The main OCs I have are Morii, Maple Tea, Cloudy Skies, Den, and Viper!- go ahead and give me a number and an OC you wanna ask about!-

I might avoid answering #24 and maybe #12, but especially #24-

[sparrowsingsstories]

For Sparrow: 1, 4, 28, & 39?

Thank you and I'm sorry it took me so long to respond!

What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do? Well, it depends. If she's scoping out a job, she can sit still and quiet for as long as it takes. But generally, she's a little ball of energy. She's always doing something - even if that something is fidgeting with a stuffed animal while watching Bean clean.

4. How easy is it to earn their trust? No. She's been hurt too many times. She trusts Canary and Birdie because she followed at watched them. And because they didn't lie to her. Canary has never lied to her. She trusts Bean because she understands what it's like to not feel like you fit in. But everybody else? They have to earn her trust. And she's pretty darn good at reading people. So, for instance, Darcy's adopted father figure, Luke? She trusts him fairly quickly because he is true feeling. But Darcy? Her trust in him grows. Mercy? It comes in starts and stops. Deacon? She trusts him a little faster because she's watched "Glasses" for years. Danse? It takes FOREVER. Because he lies to himself - and she can tell. Plus, the BOS, in general, is a lie. At least to her. That said - Sturges? She trusts him almost immediately. Who doesn't love him??

28. Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth? No. Sparrow would rather the truth be told. Don't sugar coat it. Just tell her. And she tried not to lie. She knows that she, sometimes has to - especially when helping her Mama with an infiltration...but she'd point out that infiltration is important work. So sure - she told Maxson she was a 12 year old orphan. SURE she tugged on his heartstrings to get info on the BOS. But she'd also point out that nobody asked them to fly into the Commonwealth and create a huge old stink. Also...infiltrating Nuka World to save her birth mother and siblings was important and lying to raiders doesn't count. But don't sugar coat the truth to spare her feelings. That, in the end, hurts her more.

39. How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people? Depends on the flaw. Are we talking about an excessively flirtatious personality (Darcy) or a deep OCD need to keep their environs clean (Levi) or that whole paranoia thing (Canary) or rabid fear of germs (Birdie)...I mean, she'd say we all have flaws. She's full of them and everybody loves her anyways. Nobody's perfect. Take Sean for example - very charming, super sweet, fun to be around...fucks Sturges in the vertibird with the door open, is a right dumbass, used to be a BOS Lancer, whines when doing morning runs...she doesn't hold that against him. Well, the entire "almost public sex thing" gets on her nerves because she got stuck in the vertibird once and saw more of her adopted brother (Sturges) than she ever wanted to see...but I mean, she still loves Sean and didn't even think about stabbing him. Not even a little bit. She loves MacCready and he nags her non-stop. She does call him MacDaddy but honestly, she'd point out it's her Mama's fault. Anyways - everybody has flaws and as long as they aren't like...murder...she's alright with them.

[chow0w]

hi! sorry if this question is weird or you don't want to answer it— please don't feel pressured to.

i was wondering if you had any tips about growing your social media as an artist. im an artist myself and i would love for more people to see my work and eventually be able to sell it to support my mother. thank you for any tips you can give!

Hi! I've been in the rodeo for a long(ish) time between tiktok and tumblr, so I can hopefully give some meaningful advice! I totally get your thing about growing socials to sell art - honestly, I feel like it's way easier to get commissions and sell adopts after platforming so you're already taking the right steps.

As for growing your socials, here are my tips!

I've had the most success in doing things that other people can easily enjoy: redesigns are the main component of my blog because my audience already likes WoF, and can engage better with characters they already have an understanding of. This totally applies to other fandoms, and the size of a fandom can make a big influence on your account success too. Bigger is better! Unfortunately, this does tend to mean that OC content does worse unless you already have a consistent following.

I usually post on weekends since that's when Tumblr is most active, with a little intermediate post on Wednesday to keep my account bubbly. The good thing about this website (which makes me prefer it to tiktok, where I used to post) is how long your content can cycle for! The pace of Tumblr is much more accommodating to a busy schedule, and you can absolutely get away with taking your time when making art.

Consistency is very important with growing a following, especially if you want to connect with your followers! A lot of content creators recommend staying with one fandom/theme in your blog to make sure you attract an audience who will be interested in the long run.

This is less related to the question, but you don't actually need to run a blog or active account in order to make money from your artwork. It definitely helps, but I've had success as a commission artist with and without a platform! It really comes down to where and how often you advertise: when I do commissions, I usually advertise in discord servers - art hubs are amazing for this! I tend to gain fewer customers from servers for specific fandoms like WoF (which feels kind of absurd) but honestly I think that's more to do with the demographic of WoF readers being kids/young adults without much to spend.

Finally, the most important tip I can give you is to have a good relationship with your blog. prioritizing engagement over what you actually want to do is never a good idea, and you should take extra care not to let views affect how you value yourself as an artist. It's not uncommon for artists to realize the social media life isn't for them, and you can absolutely still post without running your blog like the navy! Just do what works for you.

I hope this was helpful! Good luck!! You should DM me if you start an account so I can follow you (っ˘ω˘ς )

[multiplicity-positivity]

Here’s some positivity for plural singlets and plurallets!

Not every plural person identifies as a system, multiple, or fully separated! In fact, it is quite possible to be both plural and a singlet at the same time. While these experiences may be rare or uncommon, plural singlets have always been and will always be integral members of our community. This post goes out to all the plural singlets out there!

🌼 Shoutout to plural singlets who feel plural due to having imaginary friends!

💚 Shoutout to plural singlets who conceptualize their mind as more than one without having separate, distinct identities!

🦋 Shoutout to plural singlets who feel like a herd of deer, a flock of birds, a school of fish, or a large group of selves sharing one mind and body!

🌿 Shoutout to plural singlets who are still questioning and trying to learn about their experiences!

⭐️ Shoutout to plural singlets whose plurality falls somewhere between being a singlet and being a system!

🌱 Shoutout to plural singlets who have daemons, paros, thoughtforms, or other brain-made headmates without identifying as a system!

🔷 Shoutout to plural singlets who are unsure whether or not they belong in the plural community (heads up - if you want to be here, then you do belong!)!

🌲 Shoutout to plural singlets who have a complex dissociative disorder and have reached a state of fusion that allows them to function and identify as a singlet!

✨ Shoutout to plural singlet creators who share their mind with their characters and OCs!

🍃 Shoutout to plural singlets with parts, aspects, fragments, facets, or other system members who are not fully formed headmates!

💙 Shoutout to plural singlets who identify as median, parasian, medianflux, or midcontinuum!

☘️ Shoutout to plural singlets who love their multiplicity and have embraced their plurality and the way they interact with the plural framework!

Plural singlets, please know that you are wanted here. You are just as plural as anyone else in this community, and our space is your space as much as anyone else’s! We are so happy to have you here, and we hope that the plural community can provide you with a home, a respite, and a place of belonging. Regardless of how your plural journey is going, if you’re questioning, if your plural label fluctuates, or if you sometimes aren’t sure whether or not you’re plural, know that you are welcome here as long as you want to be here! We’re rooting for you, and we’re wishing you the very best in all that you do. Please do your best to take care of yourself, and have a lovely day!

[confessions-sm]

Answering what was just sent to the blog, because I don't want to post the ask sent in question:

The OC is a furry

The OC acts, behaves and (practically) has the same anatomy of a human (I say "practically" because it has no private parts), it is humanoid and is not full-on an animal

It's not uncommon for people to make furry x human or even creature x human ships

Edit: I have added that this whole post was light-hearted, but a few minutes ago I found out that you sent anon hate to the OC creator

Do not fucking do that

[tf-taskforce-141]

Hello Hello Hello !!! This is a blog for a/b/o au for task force 141!

ocs of the creator might be included

This is a ask / rp blog! Response will be text or drawing with a transcript underneath.

Do's:

suggestive asks (not pure nsfw)

questions (direct questions for specific characters are okay!)

ill add things on later on

Don't:

nsfw (kinks,, just NSFW)

Ill add things later on if needed

Info about the au and my a/b/o au!:

141: Johnathan Price;

Delta ; usually presents alpha

Scent ; Smoke , whiskey , the feeling of warmth on your skin

Simon 'Ghost' Riley;

Omega ; one of his scent glands was removed due to torture

Scent ; Wet freshly cut wood hints of vanilla John 'Soap' Mactavish

Beta ; pretty active for a beta

Scent ; Green tea and Lemons

Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick

Beta ; pretty normal guy for a beta

Scent ; Just lavender Alpha [α]:

usually more leader based but not always true

usually hides scent cuz it's usually WAYYYY stronger than anyone else

can bite :3

personally I think they are the peacemakers of the pack

peacemaker of bonds and making sure everything is just ok! Conflicts with the omega here and there

usually one alpha per pack but it's not uncommon for marked alpha pairs to have a pack together

Has ruts atleast 2 or 3 times a year, does not get triggered by unclaimed omegas or shit. Also does not matter on sex.

Ruts can be forced and though! Through their packs !

Theta [θ]:

Way more neutral than betas (scent wiser)

Can take over the alpha role

also can be a pack holder :3

can also bite !!

Smell is usually as strong as a alpha but less as projected but also neutral like beta

Rarely has a rut / heat, maybe once a year !! Very rarely gets triggered.

Rut / heat cannot be forced !

Beta [β]:

neutral guys

very rare occasional bites (depends on the pairing, usually only happens with betas on betas or delta on betas; depends on the beta and relationship!)

no rut or heat !

Omega [Ω]:

scent can be really silly

Heats are like periods, isn't affected by sex ! (Aka once a month)

they still have periods, heats are like ovulation!

Heats can be rarely forced by pack, and they can be triggered (just like periods can be like by stress or other things)

can bite :3!

also the peacemaker of the pack but also conflicts with the alpha.

peacemaking is more based around making sure everyone is heart and they are doing their 'duty'

usually caretaker

sometimes will switch their roles around with someone else to peacemake and caretake (alpha usually)

Delta [δ]:

usually no strong scent unless they take the place of any role

just basically normal

can bite

has both a heat and rut cuz I hate them ! /Aff

Ruts happen 2 to 3 times a year

heats usually are like periods but heats skip when ruts happens :3

shapeshifter (role wise)

Packs!:

Packs can be started by Alphas, Omegas, Thetas and very rarely beta and deltas!

Packs can be large are small

Usually there is one alpha or theta , sometime mated pairs will start a pack

packs are basically relationships / friend groups but can be both platonic and romantic

packs work really well together

packs when they've been together for a long time usually HATE new members or people who try to ruin their pack

larger packs can be unstable

theirs forced 'packs' (military usually does it and pack home / multiple packs in one home)

large packs can work but are still usually unstable

packs vary ! (2 alpha 1 beta, 1 alpha 1 theta 1 omega, etc etc)

packs are usually made by bonded pair (not mated pairs !)

they all caretake ,, sometimes tho if there's a beta, omega, or delta they will caretake more than everyone else)

peacemakers vary !

Bonded pairs are usually scented pairs. Think cats, they rub against each other and make sure their scents are all over each other! ! ! So they're bonded this can be platonic and/or romantic And then mated are usually romantic and/or sexual pairs usually mated pairs are usually pairs that are bitten :3 the mark or they can be called marked pairs But mated pairs ≠ marked pairs and mated pairs don't have to be bonded! Though marks can be forced and toxic ‼️

Role scent is based around strength! Alphas usually won't have an obvious scent unless they want their scent known Thetas will have an 'alpha' smell (strong) but you can smell em so that's how ya know they are theta Betas are neutral? ? So they aren't strong or weak Omegas are usually on the weaker side ! Deltas can be whatever strength they want but they usually won't have a smell. They are more natural smells and not something too abnormal

Scent intensity can waver depending on mood or things like rut / heat. Some's scent will completely change if they are distressed, and/or in heat/rut !!

Alpha have chompers and longer k9s Thetas have similar alpha k9s Betas have normal sized human k9s Omegas have similar k9s to thetas or alphas though they can shrink them ! Deltas have completely retractable k9s from very short to alpha length :3 Sicknesses:

Separation Sickness

happens to all roles

only happens to mated pairs

the time away varies from person to person. Average is 3 to 6 months

Healing usually just means spending time with their partner

usually if one partner has separation sickness, the other will have it

Heat sickness

only happens with the first few heats

happens in both ruts and heats

just abnormal sickness

It's normal for the first few ruts / heats of someones life to be affected by heat sickness.

it is not normal for people who have had their ruts / heats for a long time to have heat sickness at any point.

heat sickness vulnerability last from puberty to 19 - 21

34) How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt? 

Macintosh has got a horrible fear of bugs, has had it since he was a little kid.

Smith can't help but think it's all his fault.

×××

[from this prompt list]

[dreambones]

Most of the time, Barley keeps a pretty decent self-esteem, or at least a positive view of it, but she still has trouble dealing with some of her flaws, mainly the physical ones.

So far, hiding what she doesn't like has proven to be the most effective one, tho it's not the healthiest approach tbh.

[Uncommon questions for OCs and their creators]

40. How sensitive are they to their own flaws?

[memento-morii-ua]

#10 for maple :3

She doesn't lie much (unless it's to herself), but she regrets telling people she's okay when she's blatantly not-

[smiscee]

(uncommon questions for ocs and creators) 3 for Christine and Teacup

Christine just loves singing and reading bed time stories to Teacup so the lil cup can sleep. Now with her new work life, she has help with the cupbrothers who also like to tell Teacup stories before she sleeps. Teacup would get beautiful and mythical tales from Mugman, comforting made up stories from Christine, and Cuphead rambling to her about his old adventures making sure she has a good dream about a good adventure.

How Christine puts herself to sleep is just tossing and turning around her bed. If that does not help, then she stares out of the window watching the stars shine brightly with the city lights.

9, 11, 13, & 15 for hector :D

(Uncommon Questions for OCs and Their Creators)

9. Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?

Hector does not swear very often. Prior to the nautiloid I'm fairly sure he didn't at all, but it enters his vocabulary a little once he's spending large amounts of time with Karlach.

The most notable example is probably him cussing out Gortash on the way to the Iron Throne. :P

11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?

It depends a little on the scenario. If he's within range of a library, he will be going to do Research like the book nerd that he is. Lacking that, he's pretty comfortable with asking questions to clarify a situation if need be.

13. What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?

Hector tends to wear ensembles of blue, black, and white/silver. He likes how he looks in them and he is correct that he looks hot as fuck. (He's kind of hot as fuck in anything though. XD )

15. How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?

Hector is not a tremendously talkative sort; he tends to listen more than he talks, and he speaks gently and precisely with fairly erudite grammar. The exception is if you get him talking about something he's interested in (generally Sword Coast historical subjects), in which case he will infodump. XD (The moment when he fell in love with Karlach was absolutely when she started infodumping at *him* about demons. :P )
