🍍 and 🍎 for the STS asks? Thanks so much and happy STS!

Happy STS!

This one is late Oop-

But I do enjoy creating villains! I feel like I can create anything when I do villains, different versions, tropes, personalities… plus I love watch my friends lose their minds of the villains. It’s quite entertaining!

And for the character I put through the most would have to be Valencia. She’s a shapeshifting misunderstood villain who goes by many many names. Honestly whenever I revisit her to refine her some more I feel extremely guilty for what she goes through. Imagine getting ripped from your family, being accused for being a witch and being burned alive, only for the one who ripped you from your family to bring you to their universe and turning into their pawn? Well, that’s watering down what actually happens.

🍈🍌? Happy STS!

Happy STS!

The oc that most like me is Romania Rose. She is quite literally the self insert of me into the universe. And sort of takes the place of me there. So whenever she interacts with other characters, it would kind of be like me interacting with them.

And the story I would love to be in would have to be Adelola! Despite the fact that there is a war, I would really like to simply enjoy life you know? And imagine being a staff member in the palace! Your life wouldn’t be boring at all with the Mengeshas!

🌹 write a vague blurb about your WIP, for example, "a rude elf and a dumbass dwarf find out they're actually related and must stop a big problem"

A sister and brother must stop their friend from screwing the devil.

🌾 what's something an OC needs to learn?

🥀 Aurora. She needs to learn not to trust just anybody, no matter how kind or beautiful they are. Or else you will get into a horrible situation where the consequences are absolutely detrimental.

🏵 which OC have you had the longest, what inspired them?

Ooo! Let’s gooo! Alright, so my longest oc has to be between Miss Rose and Seraphina. I created both when I was 8. Romania ( or Miss Rose) was actually inspired by me. She was what I wanted to become when I was older, a sophicated woman who was loved and admired by all with a KILLER fashion taste.

Seraphina was inspired by Avatar: the last air bender and Twenty one pilots. Which is kind of funny now that I think about it. I was watching avatar on my way home one day and listen to twenty one pilots at the same time and that’s how she came about!

Okay for storyteller saturday, what is the kindest, most softest memory your characters have? Do they try to get a moment like that again and chase after possibilities or do they acknowledge it as something they turn to when they need comfort by themselves?

You instantly went for the deep stuff! 

So, Alka and Lumen share the same one namely their first meeting. Alka had been travelling alone for quite some time and wasn’t in the best place mentally. Meanwhile Lumen had existed in the same sort of limbo, hanging around the swamp floating around aimlessly (and maybe accidentally lead some misguided travelers off the path, like will'o'whisps do).

For Lumen it’s that first moment, when their vision clears, floating somehwere above the ground now granted a body. The ability to perceive new things, left such a profound impact that then and there they decided that they were going to follow Alka in a personal quest to experience as much as they can sunsets, falling stars, the sound of fresh snow. Though nothing can ever replace that first moment.

Alka’s was a bit later, when they realized that the little will'o'whisp they so impulsively gave a body, was now creeping behind them, hiding behind a tree everytime they stood still or turned. The pitter patter of small feet however followed them for the rest of the day, after that the steps were much closer, as Alka had invited Lumen to stay by their side. In current times Alka can’t really imagine life without their trusted companion and wouldn’t trade it for anything else, except maybe seeing Lumen’s childlike wonder for everything around them turning the mundane into something extraordinary.

With Meihua it’s the day she received the crown of roses from her wife, Kujali as a reminder of her love for her. She imbedded it with magic which prevents them from decaying over time. Meihua is not one for staying in one and the same place for long periods of time and will go wherever the wind blows just to make discoveries and see new places. The flowers are a part of her wife that will always be with her even when theres mountains and sea’s between them. It’s her most precious possesion and there is nothing else that could replace it.

In contrast to her wife, Kujali (who’s name I changed from Mirembe) can’t manage to pinpoint a certain memory or event that is most precious to her, it’s the culmination of so many things, Meihua fervently waving as a small speck on the horizon before she dissapears out of view again or that ear to ear grin when she tells what happened on her travels. Everything is just so precious and Kujali wants to see how many more of these sort of memories she can create.

The fact that I don’t write much except for papers for college is coming back to haunt me xd I hope you like it :)
