Recently gifted myself a sub to Amy's Patreon for my birthday and absolutely binged every single thing I could like the complete menace I am. Which motivated me to FINALLY work on/"complete" some of my playlists (Seven and G) for my oc Katiah from one of my favorite IF's @infamous-if if you haven't read it, I highly suggest doing so. Amy's writing and characterizations are immaculate. First up Seven, because of course. I am an angst simp.

This playlist will probably be longer than the others since they have an actual history. My music knowledge and tastes are wide and encompassing so there's not particular genre. Also, I'm much older than the normal demographic so my tastes are not for everyone. As always with my playlists they will be LONG and continually grow as time goes on.

G's playlist was interesting for me to try to figure out since I head canon their relationship as starting out a purely physical, drama filled mess and then into something more (without either one of them intending it to be).

I plan on doing the rest of the RO's eventually, just takes time figuring out a vibe and Seven and G are my mains. Anyway, that's it! Go read INFAMOUS! <3

2, 5, 7, 8, and 12 for the modern au questions for the kid(s) of your choice?

Goin’ w/Merit and Katiah, who are on two Different ends of the chaotic bastard scale in Modern AUs 

2. how is their social media presence?

Merit: It’s Existent. Kind of. It’s mostly cryptid-like videos of wild nights and things mixed with #Aesthetic photos of makeup/outfits/scenery, etc. Hard to parse any personal, written down info from his account(s) though. Some videos regarding fashion tips sometimes, etc. Some memes he finds funny. 

Katiah: I still like that idea of her making Unraveled-esque videos but for mythology or similar, but maybe not on behalf of a company like Polygon. A passion project? Or a small project w/a resident library/college that went viral? Hard to say. But beyond that, Kat’s social media presence would include a variety of strong commentary on archaic topics only half of her followers can parse. 

5. top five favourite things not available in their canon verse.

Merit: Glitter, digital collections of music, tattoos (which are Canon, but suuuper unlikely for Merit there, but not here) a Vast Variety of weird fashion & art (I’m counting as two things) 

Katiah: eBooks, energy drinks, just the vast amount of info to be learned between classes and deep google dives, specialized sunglasses (which she basically has to make herself in canon), 24 hour convenience stores 

7. one example of a significant change in their backstory now that the world’s changed.

Merit: Merit being a basically criminal. In a Modern+Magic AU, Merit started out looking in the City for his father, and then got entangled w/a subsection o the Summer Court who actually adapted to modernity, including Kilan who still takes Merit as a Warlock who’s entrusted w/Things. w/out the Magic parts meanwhile, Merit may have still been looking for Dad Brightwood, but amidst failing out of a college he didn’t quite want to go to, and starts going askew to illicit dealings for Kilan. 

Katiah: I haven’t done as deep a dive into Katiah’s being in a Modern AU, but off the top of my head, Kat goes from already a known scholar in various fields, to a worn out student still working on her scholarly degrees. It’s more because a matter of years. 

8. describe their closet.

Merit: A fun mix of his day looks being that “flowy hipster, light shirt and shorts/pants and brimmed hats” looks, and these bright, oft patterned colors contrasted w/black, and gold jewelry for at night. Something mixed inbetween. Lots of button ups in a variety of colors, light blue jeans a dark leather pants, leather boots of various colors and heights, many dresses. (the art is old, but god, I still love the Mod AU Look I drew him.)

Katiah: Tired Gay mixed w/sharp formal wear. Ripped jeans, sweaters, tall boots, many pairs of sunglasses to match her accented colors that day, leather jackets. Has both suits and art deco-inspired dresses in there somewhere, for Occasions. 

12. name a few of their favourite pieces of popular culture.

Merit: Musicals, reality TV and ironically (or unironically) watching it, the rise of those stim videos of mixing paint

Katiah: MMORPGs, the weird history of Fandom and internet overall, old classic(tm) movies and why they’re classics (but also maybe suck for modern periods) 

Got the urge to draw Katiah, which became playing w/color editing into palette swaps

Creator of Growing Vibrations Magazine Katiah Byrd talks about coming out of her shell from Yaya Diamond on Vimeo.

Hello! A year ago I created a digital magazine called Growing Vibrations Magazine. It’s an 18+ magazine that’s for everyone but geared more towards women between 18-45. It’s a magazine that’s meant for open minded individuals that includes topics such as fashion, entrepreneurship, Law of Attraction and manifesting, MULTIPLE sex topics (Unclutch the Pearls section), marijuana and CBD, Self-love, etc.

I created this magazine originally as an outlet for my thoughts and wanted a creative way to advertise my photography. I also LOVE to advertise others work. ESPECIALLY if it’s dealing with any type of art. My magazine is a great way to meet new people and I’m looking forward to collaborate with individuals from all over! My website is Www.GrowingVibrationsMagazine.com Instagram GrowingVibrations_Magazine

Bell was absolutely awesome! I got more than what I expected, his customer service was above and beyond the best. I now feel safe!! - Katiah S.

1, 11, 16, 18, 23, and 24!!!

[comes out in full hermit clothes for pajamas] I AM HOME AT FUCKING LAST

1. “Because that’s what heroes do.” *throws a ball at the wall and gets hit in the head with it* 

My Rogue Hawke Leonard (I miss him ;;)

11. “Kneel before your queen.” 

Marietta. Marietta is an older character of mine that came before you and I met, Verbs, but please know and understand Hela is. a good comparison to Marie.

16. Character A: *appears*Character B: “Oh shit.”

Merit everytime he sees Kilan and doesn’t expect it (which is most of the time) ((also it might be my personal response bleeding into Merit’s each time Delta is like “lol here’s Kilan”))

18. “Piss off, ghost!” 

Katiah abt. Literally any haunted ruins she’s explored. I’m almost positive she’s had to fight spirits at some point before, surely. 

23. “I tried to start a revolution, but didn’t print enough pamphlets, so hardly anyone turned up.”

I know when you answered this for me, you said your Tabris being deadpan, but like. it is Also quite like my elf mage Warden Zarrin, and equally as deadpan. 

24. Character A: “For once in your life, don’t smash!”Character B: “Big monster!”

Character A could be most anyone @ my first warden, the dwarf princess Elias

Orrrr Necromancer & Sergeant Lumina Brunram from GW2. Because she loves to Fight. 

[Bonus: I miss my DA Kids now…]

katiah 🍂 for the autumn aesthetic! I love this yayaya !

bitten cheeks and bitten lips. your heart gives off heat in the frosty wind. the roses are dead and the flowers have long since bloomed. yet we use your beauty in their place like an ancient heirloom. the skeletons gawk at how flesh can be when there’s a ticking clock. yet your beauty remains and time seems shocked🌹🍂🍁

katiah + yuta from NCT please! thank you lots in advance ! ♡

hope you enjoy it! 💕
