Ashen "Sharp" the Wolf

Another @sonic-oc-showdown bracket means it's time for a new pinned where I ramble about my OC!

I do have a "Sharp" tag on my blog so check that out if you want, but here's where I'll be answering some questions about him in case you don't wanna dig through tagged shitposts and art with little context!

(Second pic is an edit of the Sonic issue #50 cover)

Bellow the cut I will be answering a bunch of OC questions, so it could get rather long!

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

Which one? 😂 He actually has 3 names--

Delan- his birth name. Nowadays only his romantic partner knows that name. That one popped into my brain so there's no special story behind it.

Ashen- The name he gave himself. I tried to think up a name an angry teen might come up with since that was where he was at when he gave himself the name. One idea for a name like that was 'Fenix'- a play on how he would've wanted the name for a creature that rises from the ashes, but with the wrong spelling since he didn't know how to spell 'Phoenix' properly. But that didn't quite fit in my mind, so he got named after the ashes a phoenix might rise from.

Sharp- originally it was his temporary name since I needed to call him SOMETHING while coming up with a name. But then I grew attached to it and kept it. In-universe it's his nickname because the resistance-not knowing his name- found it easier to refer to him by a nickname to warn people that he's coming rather than 'HEY THAT GUY WITH THE SHARP METAL CLAWS IS COMING'. It saves time SHGDHS

🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)

It depends on which part of the story things take place (I have a few aus where things diverged at specific points in his life)

While he was still a runaway living outside he was 11-15

While still working with Eggman he was 16-18

And after he ran from there, or 'present' time he's 18-20 depending on how early or late in the story it is

🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?

Yes! Percy- who belongs to @hesfromsomewhere

Sharp and him went from enemies (one sided on Sharp's end) to secretly hanging out since Percy works for the resistance. Up until Percy got captured by Eggman, and Sharp chose to rescue him and run away to take him to the resistance. Initially Sharp was just going to leave him with them, but then he got captured by them a day or two later. Percy then very slowly built a bridge of trust between Sharp and the resistance faction he was a part of- though even if that hadn't happened they were determined to stay by each other's side. Things eventually developed into romance after that.

🍕 - What is their favorite food?

Pie! Any kind of pie, really. Sharp loves homemade foods in general. But there's just something about baked goods, and especially pie, that strikes him as The homemade meal that he always wanted to try, and then eventually got to

💼 - What do they do for a living?

His initial job really Was for a living, working under Eggman. He really took that up because it'd provide him with a roof over his head and steady meals. To him the bonus was that Eggman is the type of person that wouldn't pretend like he Isn't disposable. There would be no attempts at fake friendships there.

Nowadays he works with the restoration, trying his best to get used to being around people and helping out. Down the line the faction he's in will split off from the restoration, and become more like a group of mercenaries akin to the original Diamond Cutters

🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?

He likes playing video games! Initially they served as something to get his frustrations out on. The still kinda serve that purpose, but he also plays them when he's relaxed, and he's learning to play more games with friends.

🎯 -What do they do best?

If he was asked he'd answer that he's the best at fighting. It's what he's had to do most of his life, and he's kind of out of his element once he joins the resistance where he doesn't really have to do that as much anymore. Especially since even when he Does fight he'll get asked to retreat all because the people there care whether he lives or dies.

He's pretty hard on himself in other aspects. He's pretty good at cooking, but he does best when doing so over an open fire. So he views his learning attempts at using a stove as failures.

🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?

Loves: Playing video games, spending time with loved ones, eating good homemade food, walks in the rain, seeing peoples faces whenever he proves he's more than they think of him. Also dancing but don't tell anyone.

Hates: Being around too many people, getting ordered around, backing down or retreating in general, having to confront people taller than him, being Perceived

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

The night he realized that despite everything, someone did come for him and took him in. Just not the way he expected.

Him and Percy weren't romantically involved yet, but they slept in the same bed anyway. It'd become a habit after Percy's stay in the infirmary. And after they got to go off in their separate rooms, Sharp found he was too anxious to sleep on his own after everything, in a place full of people he didn't know and that he believed hated him (and to be fair, some did)

He woke up one night with Percy clinging to him. And it kind of hit him that he finally had someone that cared about what happened to him. And someone that felt like home. Both things he'd pretty much given up on ever having at that point in his life, but he'd gotten them anyway.

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

Ashen has a Lot of bad memories but the one that really haunts him nowadays is when Eggman captured Percy. He was locked up in a pod, intended to be used as a living battery since he's a being made of Chaos Energy. Sharp waited to see if anyone from the resistance would show up to save him (he still views this as a big mistake on his part)

But once the machine was activated, the decision to make a move and defy Eggman was pretty much made for him. He still has nightmares about hearing Percy scream and watching his form start to shift thanks to the energy getting sapped from him.

🧊 - Is their current design the first one?

Kind of!

His design has stayed relatively the same, it just got more refined. I got the hang of drawing his hair, and his ears are a darker color now instead of being the same as his main fur color. He's also gotten beefier. He also lost the cheek markings bellow the eye pretty fast, I think I got rid of them after the first 2 drawings of him.

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

Honestly I just wanted to go back to my roots and make a wolf character. Other than that, me and my friend wanted to make some OCs that worked on opposing sides during Forces thatd end up being together by the end.

🌂 - What genre do they belong in?

I said this last time too but I don't really slot my OCs into genres SHDGSH. I guess just. Sonic? Adventure with a side of shonen? Sharp kinda fits the shonen anime vibe, with his strongest asset being his willpower, making him get up every time he gets knocked down.

💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?

He's a cis man, and he's probably demisexual/demiromantic, though he labels himself as gay. He just doesn't have/know the words for demi, but he knows what gay is, and he's always fallen for boys and masc presenting people. Though the few times Percy goes for a more femme presenting form, he's noted there's no lack of attraction there. But it hasn't really spurred him on to investigate if there's any other label he could apply to himself. He just thinks 'I'm in love with Percy. And no matter what for he takes he's still Percy, and that's who I'm in love with'

🙌 - How many sibling does your OC have?

He never had any biological siblings! But later on him and Riley (also belonging to @hesfromsomewhere) adopt each other as brothers

He's a chinchilla that's also part of the resistance. And he was a runaway, so he very much understands what Sharp has gone through in life.

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

Absolutely horrid. They're dead to him, even if he's unsure if they're actually dead. He sure hopes they are.

They're why he's mostly thrown away his birth name. They gave it to him. He doesn't belong to them, and he saw taking up a new name as a show that he only belongs to himself.

They really only had him to insure they had a heir that'd take up their business one day. They were very strict, and were pretty much never pleased with Ashen. Everything he did had to be flawless- and that's impossible. They're a big reason for him running away from home.

Once he joined Eggman and was allowed to unleash legions of badniks to attack as he pleased, one of the first things he did was lead a raid to his old hometown. He saw to it that the house he grew up in was burned to ashes. He never caught sight of his parents so he doesn't know what actually became of them, but he doesn't care.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

I like how silly he can get. His short temper can be both a source of drama, but also of silly moments. Because sometimes he gets so caught off guard that he doesn't know how to react other than with frustration.

And I just like his type of character. Someone kind of jaded that has to deal with wanting to become a better person, and the softness that comes out of those efforts.

✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?

Very often! He's on my mind a lot, and I have several AUs with him. He's one of the characters I draw and write about the most other than Storm and Atos

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

Nnno I get too sad at things like that HSGDHS

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

Despite his love of rain, he gets really stressed out and scared when it comes to really bad storms, with loud thunder and especially with strong winds. The winds stress him out more than the thunder and he hates the sound of it. His fear was more evident when he was younger. He's gotten good at hiding it, but someone that knows him well can notice the way he's tensed up while a storm like that is happening.

🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?

His (one sided) arch-nemesis/rival WAS Percy, until they became friends.

An antagonist that pops up here and there in their story is Echo (owned by @hesfromsomewhere )

He's a tasmanian devil, and a hacker that lost everything to the war with the Eggman Empire. Once he finds out Sharp works for it, he attempts to kill him. Their paths cross again later, and even though Sharp no longer works for Eggman, that doesn't matter to Echo.

🎓 - How long have you had the OC?

I think I've had him since 2019, if not late 2018!

🍥 - What age were you when you created the OC?

25!

Thank you for reading!

Hey there, I'm Axyl.

I'm an engineer specializing in the design of pokemon prosthetics and medical aids (pronouns are they/them). I lost my leg in an accident when I was a kid, which lead to me realizing how few options were available to pokemon in terms of prosthetics and medical devices that fit their anatomy (or that can withstand their abilities). I'm sort of a smaller business, though I have a contract with Driftveil Mining Company which gives me some more funding to get my work out there (thanks to my sister who put a good word in with Clay for me).

If you need anything made or fitted to your 'mons needs, be sure to shoot me a message and I'll see what I can do for you.

((ooc under cut))

[This is a casual stress relief blog for one of my pokemon black and white ocs, so I'm not interested in getting involved with anything "high stakes", just want to have some low stakes casual interactions with one of my main two ocs for one of my favorite pokemon regions.]

[My name is Zena! I'm over 18 (in my 20s now actually), she/they/it, and I follow from @missszena.] [In-character responses will be tagged with "Turns my Gears", and ooc will be done inside these little brackets [Like so] ]

[This oc is currently in the post-story of bw/b2w2, hence the fact they have Reshiram's light stone and will address certain story events in the past tense.]

[I haven't had one of these blogs since early tumblr years so I may be a bit behind on any new terms or ettiquette, so if I do something wrong feel free to let me know so I can correct it, thanks!]

Well here's my propaganda for @smallartistocbracket's Bracket

Also the black/dark blue lined character is one of his friends. (kind of i guess?)

Transcript under the cut, since i feel like the timing is off and you might not be able to read most of it. (and a long needless explanation in the tags)

Frais: Why should you vote for me in the small artist OC bracket? Well...

I'm very cute and funny and the strongest guy in my friend group! Also I have a hardness of 9! I'm a first class gem! I won the annual GCT (the junior league) and didn't even break a sweat! Also i'm literally neurodivergent and a minor.

[Camera is knocked over and picked up by Shitagida]

Shitagida: please. Don't.

#my art #most of what frais said is a lie #like he's [subjectively] cute and funny #is definitely neurodivergent and a minor #but is the weakest of his friends (despite the hardness of 9) since he's physically incapable of a lot of things #won the GCT with a partner #and even then nearly lost to his opponents #and diamond has a hardness of 10 so he's like second class anyways #i love him though #frais #shitagida #my ocs #the crystal thing

Gangle sniffled as she opened her bedroom door. She was greeted with a new addition to her room, a red and white CRT computer monitor sitting on her desk, its screen a bright light in the dark room. Gangle blinked as she recalled what Caine had said before disappearing at the end of today’s adventure.

“And you will all find little surprises in your rooms now! Something that’ll let you have fun even when you aren’t on an adventure!”

Huh… Gangle didn’t know what exactly she had been expecting, but it wasn’t this. She walked into her room, the lights turning on automatically as she stepped inside, and made her way over to the desk. She gasped as she recognised what was on the screen, the blue background and ‘t’ logo dredging up a memory from her long forgotten past. Carefully setting down the shards of her comedy mask, Gangle sat at the computer and started filling out the details the site requested for a new blog.

Gangle sat back as she admired the work she’d put into her little blog, she doubted anyone would ever follow it or ask her questions, but she was still proud of what she'd made. Her eyes were drawn to the search bar in the upper corner of the site. Had Caine given them access to the entirety of the site, or just their personal blogs?

Gangle glanced behind herself, making sure her door was closed and there was nobody else in the room, and then she searched for ‘azumanga daioh’. Even though her mask was currently tragedy, a small smile spread across Gangle’s face as fanart from her favorite anime appeared on the screen. This was one of the greatest things Caine had ever given her since she appeared in the circus, maybe even as great as her comedy mask, and Gangle got comfortable in her chair for a long night of internet surfing.

[Rules and Other Important Info to know when sending asks are under the cut!]

[Hello there, I am Mod Vian, and this is my little Gangle askblog! Anytime I am talking OOC it will be within square brackets like this.]

Important Info

-Gangle is not able to physically interact with anybody that sends her asks, however if you wanted to send her a physical item you can, I have a plan for what happens if somebody does.

- I'm open to asks from anyone, including other TADC ask blogs/RPers and even other Gangles!

-I am fine with magic anons, although there’s a good chance things might not work how you expected. I do ask you to keep how long Gangle is affected by magic to only a handful of asks, maybe no more than 10, if you don't give a set amount I will default to 5 asks. I’d rather space out magic anons, so if I get multiple at once I’ll hold on to the extra asks and use them at a later date.

-While I relate to Gangle a lot, I am not a hardcore anime fan. If Gangle is asked about any shows/media that I don't know, I will do a little bit of research to try and answer in character as best as I can.

-I crosspost to AO3, so if you'd like to read my posts in order, head over here!

Rules

-I have a zero tolerance policy for any kind of hate speech in my askbox/messages. If you do send any I will be reporting you, blocking you, and deleting your message.

-I’m okay with questions related to shipping canon characters, but I will be deleting any questions regarding self-insert/OC shipping or that imply something suggestive between Gangle and the asker. Asks like that make me uncomfortable, since I have no way of knowing if they are about a minor.

-I am a multi-shipper and enjoy most Gangle ships, however this Gangle is not in a relationship nor do I plan on her getting into one. Though feel free to ask her about her crushes and such.

-To follow on with that, any asks that are hating on certain ships will be deleted, I am not interested in that sort of drama and will not get involved.

Love vs. Hate - Part 16 // Joe Liebgott x OC

Summary: Technical Sergeant Olivia Stark knows the military. Raised in a military family, a graduate of military school and OCS herself, she is transferring from the 82nd Airborne Division to the 101st. Between new friends and what appear to be foes, she becomes a part of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR.

Warnings: Language, Drinking, War wounds, minor Fluff

A/N: Got not much to say, except: Enjoy !

Here is my Masterlist

Tag List: @brassknucklespeirs

It doesn't take long, and we are under heavy fire. "Son of a bitch!" I curse and somehow try to find Buck. "Liv!" I hear him shout then, and he points to the left side. Over there, I see Bill. I nod to Buck and try to make my way to him. "Damn it, Liv!" I hear someone call out, but I don't know who it is. I quickly realize why, however. The bullets are flying around me as I run across the street. I'm damn lucky to have made it unscathed. Next to Bill, I throw myself into the ditch. "Fucking hell, what a damn guardian angel you've got, Liv!" he says, looking at me.

I peek out over the edge of the ditch for a moment and then look at my men. "Okay, we're going in through the left. The tanks are coming from the front." The men nod and continue to crawl to the left. "Bill!" I call after him. "No unnecessary risks, okay?" The latter nods, and I follow him.

We keep fighting our way forward, but then things get worse. A German Tiger comes out of hiding and starts firing even harder. "Shit!" I curse and see more and more of our men dropping like dead flies. "That fucking machine gun," I curse and look at Bill. Then we both look almost simultaneously at Chuck, who has the bazooka. The latter is getting ready. "As fast as you can, Chuck," I say and look around the corner briefly to locate the machine gun again. "Okay, just around the corner, straight ahead," I tell him. "Okay, ready," he says, shouldering the bazooka. "All right, let's go."

Chuck takes a step forward and fires at the machine gun. He hits it, and the place explodes. But we can't rejoice for long because shreds are flying from the house we're standing behind.

"Liv! Fall back! Come on," I then hear Buck shout and nod. "Fall back!" I call as well. "Fall back, fall back, fall back! We gotta get out of here!" I shout, and some are already running. Standing against the wall now are just George, trying to radio out something, and Bill, looking at me in irritation. "We have infantry everywhere. Repeat, Arnhem has cut the road. We are covered in infantry. We are pulling back," I hear George shout, but then I grab him by the sleeve. "George, fall back! Fall back!" I shove him in one direction and then gesture to Bill with my head to do the same.

Buck also keeps calling out to us to keep moving. I keep turning around and shooting my gun at the Germans while on the side, yelling for our men to fall back. "Heffron, damn it. Get out of here!" I shout to him when I see him behind a house corner. "Now!" Babe looks at me, then nods.

Together, we run on. In the last few yards, I suddenly spot Skip, Don, and Bill carrying Buck on a doorway. "What the hell are you doing?" I shout to them, trying to cover them. "Buck's been hit!" calls Don at me, and I shake my head. "Get him out of here!" "What do you think we're trying to do here?!" I get behind them and run backward after them to give them fire cover when suddenly, I feel a burning pain in my upper arm.

"Ahh!" I gasp and look down. The pain travels down my right arm, but I can't stop now. I continue to struggle after the others until I finally spot the trucks. "Liv!" Don calls after me and pulls me onto one of the trucks. I stand and hold onto the bracket above with my left hand as I look back at Nuenen. I guess that was a shot in the dark.

"Liv? What's wrong with your arm? You're bleeding!" Babe asks me suddenly, and I look at him before following his gaze to my right hand. Blood is dripping from it onto the floor of the truck.

"Did you get hit?" he asks, drawing Don's attention. "Liv?" he asks, and I look down at my upper right arm, where the blood is soaking my jacket. "Fuck," I grumble. I hold my hand up to the spot for a moment, and when I lift it again, my whole hand is bled through.

"Let me see," Doc says, pushing me to the floor to sit down. I lean against the legs of the soldiers sitting on the bench. "Can you...?" he asks, pointing to my jacket. I sigh and take it off. Then I lift the sleeve, and Doc raises his eyebrows. He pulls out a piece of cloth and begins to clean the wound, which is bleeding quite a bit. "What happened?" he asks, and I look at him. "I don't know."

Doc takes out his decanter and runs water over the wound, making me wince. "Looks like a graze. At first glance, it doesn't look like it hit any tendons or anything," Doc says, and I look at him with my lips pressed together. "Still hurts like a bitch, though," I say then, and Doc shrugs. "I'll have to disinfect it and stitch it up later, Liv."

I sigh and dig into my leg pocket before pulling out my flask. I open it, take a big swig, and then hold it out to Doc, who looks at me questioningly at first but then understands. He takes the flask and then carefully empties a little of it over the wound. I draw in a sharp breath, and my fingernails dig into my palm. "Holy shit!" I hiss and lean my head back against the knee of the soldier behind me. I don't really care who it is if I'm honest. Then Doc starts to tie my arm in. "As soon as we stop, I'll stitch it up," he says, and I just look at him, my head still on someone's knee.

We drive for a while, and I try to ignore the burning in my arm. My eyes are closed, and I take a deep breath. My blood-soaked jacket is on my legs. Suddenly, I feel a hand on my left shoulder and open my eyes. I turn my head a little to see who it is, and to my surprise, it is Liebgott. He is not looking at me and has his gaze stubbornly forward, but his hand barely caresses my shoulder. As fate would have it, I landed by his legs. I turn my head ahead again and smirk slightly before closing my eyes again.

A little later, we stop, and the men get off the truck. I get off as well, gasping in pain, but am immediately intercepted by Gene. "You're coming with me," he says, pulling me along. I sit down on a log while Doc begins to undo the bandages. "Damn, that's still bleeding," he grumbles, and I raise an eyebrow.

Then he takes out his sewing kit and carefully stitches the wound. "Liv? What happened?" Dick asks me when he spots the Medic next to me. "Just a graze. It's fine, sir," I wave it off, and Dick exchanges a glance with Doc, who also nods. "Will it be okay?" I nod and try to smile encouragingly at him. "I'm tough, sir." "I know that, Liv, I just don't want you to overextend yourself." "Oh, it's just a scratch." Dick nods, then walk over to the other officers. "A scratch that took me 29 stitches," Doc says, looking at me reprovingly. "All right, all right," I grumble and take out my flask to take a sip. "Want some?" I ask Gene, who, however, shakes his head. "No thanks. All right, all done," he says as he drapes and bandages my wound. "Let me see it in between to disinfect and re-bandage it, yes? And to take the stitches out when it's time. 8nAnd don't overuse it for now. Keep it calm." I nod. "Thanks, Gene."

I stand up and look around to find Don. When I finally spot him digging in for the night, I smile. "Looks good," I say, and he looks up. "Here you are at last... You can relieve me in a minute." "Sorry, I'm not supposed to put too much strain on my arm. Doc's orders," I grin, and Don shakes his head. "Have you ever dug one of these things before?" I exaggeratedly hold my index finger to my chin. "Okay, that's already the answer I need," he laughs. "Why? That's what I have you for, right?" I hold up my flask and offer it to him. Don looks at this and takes it from my hand. "All right, I'll forgive you, for now, you mooch."

When the foxhole is finished, Don and I sit in it. He dozes off, but I can't get an eye closed. Now that I have time to think, my thoughts automatically circle Liebgott again. I still have a guilty conscience toward him. He opened up to me a little bit, and I behaved really shitty. Besides, he wanted to support me on the truck. At least, that's how it felt.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? What are you worrying about, sweetheart? And don't tell me it's your arm," Don suddenly says sleepily, looking at me. I shake my head. "Come on, talk to me," he demands, sitting up straighter. "Is this still about...?" "Liebgott, yes," I sigh. Don moves a little closer to me. "I... I feel bad, Don. That really wasn't fair." "Come on, Liv. Joe's a big boy; he can handle it." "I know, but... Why do I feel so bad?" A slight smile curls Don's lips. "Do you want me to say it, or do you want to say it yourself?" I look at him and say nothing. "You like him, Liv. That's why."

I sigh heavily and look down at my boots. Then I slowly start to nod. "Seems like it." "What, no denial?" Don grabs my forehead. "Are you sick?" I push his hand away. "Stop it. No, not this time. You're right... I do like him. Jesus," I say, burying my face in my hands. "Finally," Don says with relief. "Now you just have to tell him." I jerk my head up. "Are you insane?!" "Liv... Believe me. He likes you, too. I can assure you of that. So get your head out of your ass, man up, and tell him."

I think for a moment and knead my fingers. "Come on, Liv. I just want you to be happy." "I know that Don, but... Well..." "So you'll do it?" "When the time is right, maybe." Don nudges me, and we both smile. "You'll be surprised at what comes back, I promise. And I want a big important deal at your wedding!" "Whoa, take it easy, will you?! No one here was talking about marriage!" "Yeah, right, Liv."

Don and I snuggle further into the foxhole to get some sleep anyway.

Over the next few days, we get moved around and around. Fortunately, Bull was found again, and some trucks took us further to 'the island'. There we stay for some days and wait for further orders. Unfortunately, I have yet to have a chance to talk to Liebgott until then.

October 5, 1944 - The Island, Holland

We are sitting together in the basement of a house when I see Liebgott heading outside. I nod briefly to Don and then stand up. "Good luck," he whispers to me, and I nod.

Outside, I find Liebgott leaning against the wall. When he hears me, he looks up. "Hey," I say. "What do you want? Slap me again?" he asks back. "No. I'm here to apologize. I shouldn't have hit you." "Well, thanks," he says sarcastically, and I roll my eyes. "For fuck's sake, Joe. I'm trying to apologize here. I mean it. I'm really sorry. I... That whole day has really shaken me up. Not just the thing with the women." Now Joe is looking at me. "You kissing me again didn't help either," I mumble. "I guess now we're even." "Huh?" "I hit you, and you hit me. We're even." He averts his eyes again. I take another step toward him. "Anything else?"

"Why did you kiss me?" I ask him directly, and again he looks at me. "What?" "I want to know why you kissed me, Joe." Joe bites his lip and looks down at the floor. "Why did you kiss me back?" he then asks back. "No, that's not how it works, mister. I asked you a question, and I expect an honest answer. If all you want to do is play with me, then I'm going to tell you right now, as your superior, to knock it off because you just confuse the hell out of me!" Joe still says nothing. Then he walks up and stands in front of me. He brushes a loose strand of hair behind my ear and then examines my face. "I'm not playing with you, Liv. I just... I like you, even if I can hardly admit it to myself." "Then why are you always picking fights with me? I don't understand." "Because it makes me angry to look at you. Not being able to be with you. Not being able to kiss you. And knowing you'll never want me. Seeing you with the other men. With Malarkey, Muck, Penkala, George. It's so easy for them. They can be close to you without anyone saying anything."

I look at him silently. "Who said you can't be close to me? Or can't be with me?" Joe looks at me. "Have you ever asked me what I think? Or did you just talk it into your stubborn head that this is the way it is? You're selfish; you know that?" "Well, thanks," he grumbles, turning away from me. "Don't you dare turn away from me now." Joe pauses and turns back around. "You're selfish because you never asked me what I wanted. You just assumed it. You convinced yourself I didn't want you, and then you concluded it for yourself, but you know what? I do like you, Joe. Even though sometimes you're the biggest asshole ever. I like you. And I don't give a shit what anyone says."

Again, he just looks at me. "Now kiss me already, you stubborn idiot," I whisper, and not even a second later, Joe's lips are on mine. He kisses me, and I immediately put my hands around his neck to pull him closer. The kiss quickly becomes more passionate, and I feel Joe's hands stroking my back and moving down. I break away, and we look at each other before we both have to chuckle. "I guess I just should've talked to you. We could have saved ourselves a lot," he then whispers against my lips, and I nod. "Yeah, you're an idiot." I gently push him off me.

I can't help but giggle. "Who would have thought...?" Suddenly I feel Joe's hands on my hips again. He looks down at me. His face comes closer to mine again, but I turn away from him a little. "We have to be careful, Joe. We can't let the officers find out about this, or we'll be on our way home faster than we'd love." Joe lowers his eyes for a moment. "You're probably right. Still going to be hard to keep my hands off you now, if I'm honest." I catch Joe off guard by kissing him again. "I think we can work this out." Joe smiles at me. "I hope so."

I take a few steps away from him and then look back again. In Joe's gaze, I can see clear desire. I've known him for more than two years now, which is why I'm well aware that he's a temperamental person in all ways. He is not the reserved romantic; no, he is the passionate, direct one. "What?" I ask. "Nothing... You're..." He breaks off. "What?" I ask again. Joe smiles and then looks down at the floor. "Nothing... Nevermind. Now go inside, or it'll be conspicuous. I'll catch up with you later," he says, and I nod before stepping back into the farm.

Don finds my gaze immediately, and I join them again. He is talking with Skip and Penkala. "So, how did it go?" he asks directly, and my three friends look at me expectantly. "Well..." I begin, but at that moment, Joe comes back in, and our eyes meet. He winks at me and then sits down with Skinny and the others. I blush and smile to myself. "Oh, I see it went very well, huh?" says Don, and I look at him. "Shut up, Don."

"So?" I take a deep breath. "Well, I guess you won't see as much fighting between us as before," I grin. "So he admitted it?" I look at my best friend. "He did." "I knew it!" Skip and Penk laugh. "So what now?" then Skip asks. "Are you guys... I don't know, together?" "What, no... Well, I don't know. It's not like we can really be together anyway. We can't let the officers know." "Still, we're happy for you, sweetheart," Don says, putting an arm around me. I smile and then look over at Joe, who is also smiling at me.

Suddenly, Winters walks in. "Listen up, men," he says, and the voices fall silent. "A patrol is planned to scout the immediate area. The following soldiers will take the first: Lesniewski, Strohl, Alley and Liebgott. Sergeant Youman will lead the patrol." My gaze searches directly for Joe's. Damn, why does he have to be sent directly on patrol now of all times? He looks at me as well, then sighs. Now that we've finally talked things out. Winters, meanwhile, looks around. "Okay, five minutes."

I rub my head. "Son of a bitch," I mutter, and Don gives me a quick look. As the group heads outside, I can't stop myself. I follow them outside. "Joe?" I call out, and he looks at me, surprised. The others also look at me questioningly. The fact that I want something from Liebgott is rather strange. "Got a sec?" I look briefly at Art Youman, who nods. Joe and I take a few steps away from the others. "What's up?" he asks. "I uh... I just wanted to tell you... Take care of yourself, will you?" Joe smirks. "Are you getting sentimental now?" he asks, amused, and I lightly thump his chest. "Don't get cocky now, okay! I'm serious, Joe." He looks at me and squeezes my hand briefly. "I promise, Liv." I nod and then step back. "Okay, Liebgott. Let's go", Youman addresses him now, and I nod.

Hey hey! Finally remaking my pinned! Under the cut because it did get a bit long. I reccomend reading the whole thing if you can.

I'm Doll/whatever variation of my blog name you want to call me. You'll probably see me called a lot of names, I swap quite often and love nicknames.

It/its or any neopronouns, I'm alright with most gendered terms but I am agender. Please do not refer to me as nonbinary, I dislike the term when applied to myself. Pronouns.page here. I might talk in third person, use number = letter typing quirks, or put [brackets] around my speech sometimes.

I'm pansexual, fictoromantic, and too tired to figure out the rest. I RB selfship content and very happily support it. I might block you if we have the same F/O[s]- I dont like to share. That being said, proship/comship not welcome.

Diagnosed autistic, this blog is a place for me to be incredibly autistic about my interests and do assorted other things.

Nonhuman! Yep, I'm one of 'em. Don't feel like listing exactly what I am, mostly because I half have no idea myself, but you'll figure it out if you follow me long enough.

Interests and fandoms include Hollow Knight, Wings of Fire, ULTRAKILL, Rain World, computers/robots/tech in general, and dragons are my special interest. Asks are always open to chat about them! Or other things, if you know me. I love to talk. About my ocs especially. [Here is my toyhouse if you would like to have a look.] My oc blog is @webspinning !!

I fucking love music, almost all kinds, though I have a particular love for rock. I won't be able to say anything coherent or thoughtful but you can always talk to me about music. Or ask for song requests...or give me some...

We're working on sorting out issues and my headmate likely won't post here for a long while, if ever, but I am possibly part of an endogenic system- it's very complicated and I'm unsure of what's going on myself. I don't tolerate antis.

I do art and play video games and screech over other people's characters and so many other things. Commissions closed, requests extremely selectively open, art trades semi-open. My blog is a place for me and me only, it's disorganised but I can find my way around. If you're offended by things here, ah, leave! Goodbye! Tags - hound.txt - talking tag. i ramble hound.art - original art that i post...sometimes hound.games - me playing games! usually short little things, sometimes screenshots :) beware spoilers save for later - stuff for me. ignore that various oc tags that are "oc;[name]" - also for me. ignore that too, unless you're a moot and find it funny singing to the stars - selfship tag :) hopefully ill remember to actually use it

#hound.txt #intro post #stuff 'n things...finally doin' this...

Thanks for the tag @trulybetty !

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

18. I've been writing fics since January.

2. What's your total A03 words count?

399,758 words (yeah, I don't know what happened there...)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

The Boys, Lord of the Rings and anything with Pedro Pascal but so far only Triple Frontier, The Mandalorian and The Last of Us.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1/ The Pilot and his Girl (by a long shot, the other don't even get close). 2/ Six and a half minutes. 3/The British Connection 4/Gun Cleaning /5 The Tack Room

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Always, even though it sometimes takes me a few days to get to them. I love hearing what people think about my fics and sometimes readers pick up on things not even I thought about and I love it!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

The British Connection, it was a forced end to a new romantic relationship that had been slowly building up during the fic.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

The Pilot and his Girl, although I did have plans for giving it a much darker ending.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've been spared any hate comments. But to be honest, bring it. I'm to old to give a fuck about hate online in any form.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yes, and lots of it. So far, only for hetro couples, not necessarily established relationships and usually pretty vanilla.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Yes, a few, The Pilot is a massive crossover between Triple Frontier and The Last of Us of course, but I've also written a short little Triple Frontier and The Mandalorian crossover.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know if, and I think it's unlikely to ever happen tbh.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

No, but there might be one in the works....

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

I mean, the reader in The Pilot is not an OC but I still love her and Frankie together. ❤

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I have an almost finished fic set in LotR with Èomer but I'm at the smut part and I just ran into a wall on how to write good but realistic smut for those two characters? So it's stalled and I don't know if I'll ever pick it up again.

16. What are your writing strengths?

People seem to always comment on my world building in The Pilot so I guess maybe that's a strength. I do see the images in my head as I write them and I try add details that will give readers a feel for what kind of world the characters are in. I'm also, apparently, very good at making people cry...I write pretty brutal angst haha!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

The damn tense...It gets away from me! And sometimes I just don't catch it. I also get very wordy sometimes. So my next challenge is to write short one shots and try to keep them under 5000 words and contain the story in one chapter.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Difficult, especially for the reader. A phrase here and there, or a pet name works well. But when fics have whole conversations in another language and I either have to read the translation in brackets or scroll down to read the notes, I lose interest because it breaks the immersion.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

A long, long long time ago...Lord of the rings I think? Before that, I can't even remember, early days of the internet...

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

The Pilot will always be very dear to me since it's been such an undertaking that I never really saw coming. But I also have a soft spot for Frankie & DIn (which I need to go back and edit because I spotted mistakes....). An honourable mention goes to The British Connection because it was the first longer fic I wrote after getting back to writing.

Thanks for asking @trulybetty And I think most of my moots got tagged but I'd love to see @i-own-loki and @ladybess-a03 's answers!
