Heads Up Seven Up!
Thanks to @dogmomwrites for the tag. I PROMISE I'm gonna start tagging you in stuff just as soon as I start finding open tags that look interesting. Coincidentally, I just got back on another writing kick, so I have some stuff to work with.
I'll leave this as an open tag, and also tag @luckadelic, @queerlilchinchin, @j-1173, @rexxles, @writingpotato07, @bardic-tales, and @pinespittinink. Non-mutuals, sorry, I don't know whether you're interested in doing these or not. Lemme know if you're not. Goes for mutuals, too. If at any point you want me to quit tagging you guys in these things, please tell me.
Usually, I try to adhere to the seven-sentence thing. But I'm adding a few more to the beginning just to make it make more sense.
This is from Chapter 6, which I skipped ahead to briefly for reasons. (Unrelated to that, I've finished Chapter four finally.)
Ok, let's go!
Bet he’s Qhironese, he thought to himself. That must be it. All those idiotic smiles . . . and they wonder why we think they’re hollow-hearted.  If Curtis had known Adriel, he’d have known that he wasn’t Qhironese; he was Kuryeizki, and the awkward smiles were a deliberate facade. Adriel hated the war. In fact, he hated Kenacia in general, and was more or less uninterested in the martial exploits of its army. But he knew a veteran's status was a window to respectable Kenacian society. He knew it meant freedom from the thinly-veiled disdain of his neighbors—the schoolboys who followed him through the streets of Thaeryvon, throwing cigarettes and lumps of mud at him from behind crates and alley corners and calling him chibha (whatever that meant). He knew that his custodian work—since that was the occupation he’d chosen when he’d signed up—would be inconsequential in the grand scope of things, but that it would serve as a welcome distraction from the knowledge that his brother Hugh Oliver was rotting away in a prison across the sea with a looming expiration date on his life, and that it would distract him, too, from the uncomfortable feeling that he didn’t really care. But Curtis didn’t know Adriel. So he went on chuckling as Adriel turned on his heel and trotted out of the room.

Alright, y’all! Here come the villain bios.
Alan Winson: Guy on the left. Loves raisins and unethical experimentation. Is he into Levi? Debatable, but if you asked Winson, he’d probably stab you with the nearest surgical tool.
Adriel Castlyre: Guy on the right. Sensitive, sweet, artsy, and surprisingly creepy when he wants to be. Expert lie detector and also has a pretty cool tumblr account. Is he into Levi? Abso-fucking-lutely, so Winson had better stay in his lane.
Levi Niacera: Guy in the center. King of Kenacia. Just wants his crazy short scientist friend and his crazy short interrogator boyfriend to get along. Although limitless power would also be nice.

Yet Another Silly P&K Guessing Game: Results Are IN!!!
And thanks so much to @the-stray-storyteller and @clairelsonao3 for the responses! I did not get many, which means, as promised, I'm bumping up the number of pictures I'm doing.
Without further ado, here are the answers. (Participants, DM me with info about y'all's OCs and their quotes you want me to use for the drawings. I'm looking forward to it!)
Easier Round: Two Drawings
Quote the First: Levi Niacera "I won't say I didn't mean it; I found it comical, to be honest, watching you gaze at that sandwich as thought it were the only thing on Earth . . . Tell me, is the sandwich more handsome than I am?"
Quote the Second: Catherine Leures “Your friend's an ass, is what he is—all wrapped up in a net of pretty manners and idiosyncrasies, but an ass all the same."
Quote the Third: Aorin Khozlova "It will not save us, but it's a trace of hope in the dark. And if I am wrong to place my faith in your kindness, I'll hardly be worse off than the others. I'll live and die like them, as your king sees fit."
Harder Round: Two Drawings + Extra Clout
Quote the Fourth: Adriel Castlyre "Don’t soften your words on my account; I know what you think. And I’ve got nothing against travel, so you know, only the idea that it somehow endows you and the rest of your state institution lot with more wisdom and cultural perspective than people like me can dream of.”
Quote the Fifth: Sera Selney "It’s not your face that’s familiar, strangely. It’s your confidence in dealing with me and . . . and that strikingly-colored jacket you’re wearing. Curly little monogram on the lapel, if my memory serves me, but since you’ve got the collar up, I can’t be sure. Anyway, I’d guess you’re the Santel heir’s latest toy. Am I right?"
Quote the Sixth: Lyn Leures “Really? First I’ve heard of it . . . but I’m flattered. Care for a drink, fellow corner-dweller?”
Bonus Round: Three Drawings
Quote the Last: Theodore Swan "Is someone there?"
Once again, thanks for joining in. These games are a lot more complicated and time-consuming than the regular sort of tag game stuff I do, but I really do love them. It means a lot that y'all let me take part in your stories like this.

Some context for the peeps who've never done my art games before:
Once again, I am tagging literally everyone for thoroughness's sake. @clairelsonao3, @sheepbitch, @lovely-ashes09, @j-1173, @nanashi23, @penspiration-writing, @late-to-the-fandom, @rexxles, @royal1asset-if, @bardic-tales, @souplover96, @kiraofthewind, @wearfinethingsalltoowell, @kiirpich, @saiwestfield, @thepixiediaries, @marinesocks, @lvckyrabbit, @alwaysastrophel, @burr-burr, @dogmomwrites, @daisywords, @angelasscribbles, @common-grackle, @redmoonrises, @aether-wasteland-s, @the-stray-storyteller, @thatonecrowguy, @kyofsonder, @isabellebissonrouthier, @moonandris, @harinawa, @sockscosyquarters, @thegreatfallcomic, @adrielcastlyre (again. Do with this what you will.) @yellowikeadog, @ghostface3100, @fragrant-stars, @birdsbats-madness, @waterfire1848, @dallystrings, @nicdrawssometimes, @ruhrohherewego.
So the way I've done these games in the past has basically been me just seeing what my mutuals can gather about my characters from their bios and the information I've posted about them in my snippets. However, as I have many more posts to sort through now than I did the first time I did one of these, I'm gonna add a little guide to my guessing games here for anyone who might find it useful.
In the past I haven't put up any kind of hints or guides for these games. The effect of this is that I get to force my mutuals to scrape their way through my blog in search of information about my OCs. I've basically been Goncharoving my whole universe from the get-go, so that's what everyone's got to work with.
Think of it like a writeblr scavenger hunt.
And then in drawing your OCs, I also have to go through your blogs to learn about your characters so I can draw 'em.
So Some Basics :
All the quotes come from characters I have both mentioned and called by name. In all but one case, I have pictures of them, which you can find under my #art tag. You might also find information relevant to the characters' personalities in their #oc: [insert name] tags. Most of the main cast has these, and in this particular game, all the quotes come from characters with oc tags.
Rules are: limit yourself to one guess unless you want to guess the bonus question, too.
Usually, I don't get a lot of responses, so most of the time I'll draw your guys whether you guess right or not.
This time, I'm gonna wait a bit before I tell you whether you guessed correctly or not. We'll say you have until July 30 to guess or revise your guesses before I do the big reveal.
Names For Reference:
Here is a complete list of every character I have ever mentioned on my blog in order of appearance (excluding the ones who no longer exist in canon, the ones who I've only mentioned for the first time after I put up my Guessing Game post, and the names that are technically pseudonyms for characters I've already told you about):
King Levi Niacera
Alan Winson
General Darion Adrona
Aorin Khozlova
Catherine Leures
Sverlyn Kjovra
Adriel Castlyre
Lyn Leures
Captain Sera Selney
Victoria Leures
Petra Leures
Eva Leures
General Kasia Arkhonieva
General Yono Aamitok
Jan Lekzej
Nikolaj Sonej
Rolyn Czeres
Sergei Kjovra
James Blightwood
Theodore Swan
Bhaanai Sochilyen
Lviszki Nezjety
Ernest Wolbert
Queen Rolova of Aleon
Lennox Graaf
Hugh Oliver Castlyre
General Paul Firesky
King John Niacera
Lieutenant Charles Curtis
Hero Santel
Nicholas Leao
Lots of people, right? But lucky you, I like to make sure these guessing games aren't so ridiculously hard that nobody could possibly guess right. A safe bet's that if I haven't mentioned a character in at least 5 posts, they won't appear in my guessing games.
If you're planning on looking through the oc tags, the name I use is always first and last. And for convenience's sake, I should warn you that a lot of these characters don't have oc tags, so if you want to find them, it might be easier to scroll straight to the bottom of my blog and do a Ctrl+F than use the search function.
But like I said, for all except the bonus question, you'll be fine limiting yourself to the cast I have drawings for.
Now here's where we start getting into hinty territory, so if you don't want that, quit reading.
In the case of the first three quotes, they make for easy-ish guesses (in my opinion, but that opinion may very well be incorrect.) They're pretty consistent with how their respective characters act most of the time.
The second three are a little tougher because they might be misleading. I imagine people are gonna be a tad more surprised when they figure out where they came from.
The bonus round is gonna be hard. I think. And I doubt anybody's gonna get it right, but if you do, congrats. And if you want a massive hint for the bonus round, it's under the cut:
I've already given you the bonus quote. It's in one of my posted snippets. You just need to figure out who says it.
