I was tagged by @disneyfan50 to do this uquiz for my OCs! And...while I will admit, uh, due to my ability to write angst, the results do match some of my OCs, my struggle with limiting the choices will be real here.

fervently.

you crave a hug that cracks your ribs... the feeling of your wandering soul being crushed back into the bones that can't seem to hold it. you need a hand gripping yours so tightly you almost fear it may leave a bruise, a reminder that you are here. and that you are not alone.

Given everything that Locket has been through so far in Marvel Descendants, including her childhood on the Area of The Lost with her father, the incident with Devlin Kilgrave, all the enemies she's either faced or keeps facing (one of which seems determined to haunt her until one of them is dead), this fits her as with life seeming out to get her constantly and her enemies trying to make her feel alone, sometimes a simple hand grab reminds her its not true and she's always going to have someone there for her.

No faceclaim so uh, have a treasure gif??? And Jayra is a no-brainer for this one, given she was raised with the same motto as her dad was: "there's no team in 'i'." and was basically punished for showing any signs she cared about her friends when younger until ultimately, the only way she knew touch was with her eventual girlfriend, though even that sadly wasn't enough to undo what her father drilled into her. But once taken off the Isle and to Auradon with her friends, Jayra soon learns how wrong her father was about everything and how she doesn't have to be alone, not with friends like hers around who love her for who she is, and with that learning, comes a new appreciation for the feeling of touch from her loved ones, especially when she reunites with her girlfriend finally after six months of being apart.

cautiously. your teeth are bared, as they have been, your jaw aching for so long as growls slip free. you always have to defend yourself. you lash out in fear. you need someone who does not shrink back... a hand falling slowly to your shoulder, however briefly, in a reminder that you do not have to lunge. there is no danger here, now.

Throughout all alternate universes with Reese as a daughter of Hades, being guarded at all times is all Reese has ever known, given her father was basically a glorified roommate in the end to her, not bothering to raise her as she had to do that on her own, and whenever he did care to give her any attention, it was just to get angry at her, especially when she started becoming more of her own person instead of wanting to be like him. And sure, she did have a few Isle friends in each of these alternate universes, but even around them, Reese finds it hard to lower her guard, especially with Isle kids messing with her at times. Which means when it comes to finally being off the Isle in each alternate universe, Reese struggles completely around others at first, unable to trust that they do care about her due to everything really, and physical affection can get mixed reactions from her really. But with time, she does grow to lower her guard and does grow to see people do generally care about her unlike her dad, and despite her mixed reactions, she does grow to like physical affection, especially from her friends and eventual adopted family members in the alternate universes.

Have a green lightning gif for Malachi, since uh, he like Jayra and the rest of the OCs from Family Business/Evils Unfinished Business, has no faceclaim. I almost matched Malachi to 'fervently', given that does fit him, but I decided ultimately to match him with 'cautiously', given how Malachi's childhood of abuse at the hands of his mother and grandmother in the name of making him exactly like them, means Malachi is used to being guarded against everyone and everything, including his friends. But after being brought to Auradon along with said friends due to Alexander's proclamation, Malachi does start to lower his guard at least after some time and while he may be still getting used to physical affection, he does find himself appreciating it when he gets it from his friends.

gently.

you need to be held as though you're going to break. you need someone to trace your scars like cracks in a wall, crumbling. their touch is almost painful; you've been without it for too long, without someone to hold you. but, you cannot bring yourself to pull away.

Being the only daughter of Gaston, the only times Jewel recalls being held is by her older brother, Gil, when her father and other two older brothers got too much sometimes in their abuse, but it was only when the three won't looking, which meant that it was sadly rare. And this in turn in Auradon, means Jewel isn't exactly used to touches such as being held, but over time, she slowly learns there are more gentle ways of being touched then her father's and two older brother's brutal treatment, thanks in part to her eventual girlfriend, Clarice.

While Jayla may vary in alternate universes when it comes to how she likes to be touched, when it comes to canon (Marvel Descendants) Jayla, she only recalls being held by her adopted mother, but then she sadly died while Jayla was young and she was left with her adopted father, whose touch was nothing but abusive, even on the night that Jayla ultimately decided to leave home in favor of SHIELD Academy. But despite what he did to her, Jayla does grow to love gentle touching with her new found friends over time and when it comes to finding her family finally, it turns out dragons love gentle touching as well.

Tagging for this challenge is a little hard as don't know many friends who do OC's, but uh, tagging @descendantofthesparrow , @miss617 , @shiningharmony and anyone who feels like doing it really.

(I've never done this before but...) All symbols for that Munday meme? XD

Monday Malarkey

[[Thanks for sending! And wow guess that means this post will be quite a size xD!]]

☯ : Do you prefer to wing it or to plot things out first when it comes to longer threads?

I think that always depends - but in general, I assume it tends to be good to at the very least have a starting point, so I guess that means plotting (to a degree, and not completely counting when stuff comes from memes because usually that takes care of a rough starting-point)? But when we do have a general ‘what we want to happen’, I think it’s nice to just let things happen as they do?

So, I guess a mix of both!

✎ : What is your favorite genre to write for in roleplay?

I don’t know, actually! I’m absolutely incapable of putting stuff into genres, so I don’t know! I like when, somewhere in threads, people actually open up to one another, like, talk about past happenings or the likes. And I think a lot of my threads would go into the ‘casual’ or ‘fluff’ category so maybe that? But I have a lot of other threads I like or liked a lot too, so I don’t think I really have a favourite genre.

✉ : What’s your favorite genre to read in roleplay?

I don’t really read that much specifically because of it being in a genre - if at all, I read RPs because they appear on my dash by being done by one of my mutuals with someone else!

✘ : Are there any genres you refuse to write for?

Smut would be the first thing I can name here, since I simply don’t write that stuff. Outside of that, uh, I can’t think of anything immediately!

✪ : Do you use roleplay as a method to better your writing in some way? If so, what are you trying to improve on?

I don’t actively think that I’m using it to better my writing, but I think upon repeating something again and again - which basically any RPer existing longer than a week does - it’s pretty much automatic that it also helps one to get better at it, so I sure hope that RPing does better my writing!

I can’t name anything in particular that I’m currently working on improving - I can say that I’m definitely interested in dash talk and all that stuff (you know, these fast-paced things that usually go back and forth quickly and die after a few hours or so) though I can’t quite see me actually trying to participate in it.

🎭 : Is roleplaying/writing a way to cope when things get rough irl?

I like to live in the world of my RPs, of my characters, so yes in a way - but I don’t really think I’m coping with stuff. It’s just that I like to think myself into a different world, and yeah. I guess I’m just mostly ignoring RL as much as I can anyway, so there isn’t really much to cope?

⌘ : How much importance do you place real experience into the things you write/rp?

Pfft, right, I could barely write about anything at all, then!

So, to actually answer this: Very little importance. I think as long as one can write it well, or imagine it, it isn’t important if they actually have experience in the area or not.

⚡ : What typically leads to inspiration for you when it comes to writing?

Nothing in particular! Like, there was at least once recently a dream that inspired my for a wishlist thing on Moonshot (which I still wanna write some day, and I’m considering to make my next open on him be about the situation even if that doesn’t really mean it’s any more likely for me to be able to explore the situation but still), and movies or stories or pictures do inspire me for things too, but mostly I think it’s just my imagination and what ‘letting my characters run freely’ there brings up. Hard to explain!

✿ : What’s your stance on self-inserts?

It feels a bit like a weird thing to me, and I don’t know if I quite entirely know all the specifics to the term. I’m not a fan of RPing with ‘real’ people anyway - be it from actual history, or politics or maybe stars or bands or whatever else exists as people RPing them - so I don’t think having someone put a FC around it changes that much?

If it’s a character they can simply connect to a lot, and maybe have some headcanons here and there that would also fit to themselves, that’s a totally different thing I think?

⌚ : When in the day do you feel you do your best writing?

There isn’t really any specific time of day! I usually do most writing during the afternoon and evening, but that’s because it’s how my day is scheduled and not because I can write there best or anything.

♟ : Do you do any research when you roleplay?

Number one - a lot of looking up of english words. There’s a reason why I basically always have a tab of a dictionary open.

And of course, if I’m to write like a poisoning or a certain area being wounded or a specific type of sickness, and if I haven’t researched anything to it or something similar before, I will try to look up a few things. It helps to get a better image of it, I think.

♞ : Which do you prefer, shorter or longer roleplay posts?

I can’t really work with one-liners much, they often feel like no effort had been made, so, longer than that would be good. Outside of that, as long as there’s something I can work with, I think I don’t have much preference towards how long or short is it. Well, I mean, maybe a full-on novel or something would be a bit much as reply xD, but I assume that’s rather unlikely to happen anyway with how RP works.

Or if this is about the length of posts, I can only try to appeal to people again, to please cut their posts, and remove and ask from a continued thread. But I don’t think that that’s what the question is about, so I won’t say more on that here.

♥ : What kinds of characters are the most fun for you to write for?

If you look at my muses, I guess the only answer I can give is: Aliens!

I don’t know, maybe that has to do with confidence. I have other characters too, but when considering to write them I tend to feel uncertain of if I can do certain things or if they work or would be interesting for others, so, I think that’s why my roster so far only exists of tamaraneans.

In general though, I think I tend to enjoy writing characters in a certain ‘good against evil’, or call it maybe action if you want, setting more than casual, everyday life ones, if that makes sense.

💔 : What kinds of characters do you have the most trouble writing for?

First thing that comes to mind here, is ‘sexy’. Like, take Blackfire for example, if I wasn’t as much myself as I am, I bet I’d have her do or say a lot more ‘dirty’ or suggestive stuff. I just can’t write that, and that’s one of the reasons why every now and then I feel like I don’t do Blackfire justice at all.

➳ : When creating OCs, what do you typically start with first? (i.e. appearance, name, a theme, etc.)

I think usually the rough ‘who’ comes first, as in what they do or are for? Like, that was the case with both Moonshot and Starlight, and, though I don’t think anyone actually knows of her since I only made like one post about her ever or so, Kahmlur. Also with most other (= non-tamaranean) OCs I’ve ever made I think. Usually first comes the rough idea, like said, and then I’ll work on details some more, like how I imagine their personality or behaviour. And usually by then already a image starts to form in my mind for their looks, which will then be the next thing to do. An actual detailed backstory usually only comes when I actually want to, like, write them on something public like here I think. Or when I happen to just be bored enough to write one.

Though of course, sometimes it can also happen that I play around in some character creator, and the result inspires me to do an OC out of that look.

♚ : What’s something you just can’t stand and will unfollow someone over?

If it happens too much and too often, a dozen, especially when non-RP, posts almost at all the same time. I get it, they’re online at that moment and want to share stuff or something, but it’s just too much and frustrating to see other stuff through. So yes, if that happens too often, I might end up unfollowing.

🌟 : How do you usually like to start an interaction with someone new, or do you prefer to have them approach you?

When I followed someone first, and they follow me back, I usually take an effort to make myself go to their IMs soon-ish (or asks or whatever if like their rules say they don’t want IMs, or the likes) and just greet them in some way. I try to lead that talk then towards something more, maybe plotting or a random starter or whatever, or at least to asking for how they prefer to start things.

As with those following me first, well, usually I kinda subconsciously wait for them to come to me first. Which… not always happens, and I think I should change that thinking anyway since I should just approach even if they were the first to follow if I want to interact with them too, but uh, that’s just what I do there without actually thinking much about it.

(And as for those I never become mutuals with - I usually don’t reach out there. I’m not confident enough to do that, so if I’m not ending up mutuals with someone, I’ll in 90% of the cases unfollow again once I realize it won’t happen, and the other 10% I’ll keep on my dash because I really like their content, even if it makes me sad that I won’t ever interact with them. And those that I never follow back, I hope I’m having it stated where I can clear enough that I’m still open to them approaching, though of course I have a right to say no in occasions.)

💕 : When it comes to shipping do you prefer to draw things out and let them develop slowly, or do you prefer to jump right into them and skip the developmental stage?

I love the interactions, the deepening of a connection, the admitting of secrets or talking about heavy topics of the past! Not that I have ever had those to write much, but I still love the idea, and so I think I can with rather good certainty say that I prefer the slow developing.
