:3

Yay!!!! More stuff I can drop about Scotty!!!!

These are from this ask list.

Full warning, long ass post ahead. Also CW for mentions of violence.

🌲 Kindest thing your OC has done for someone: feel like for this one I'm really gonna have to think long and hard because the thought has never occured to me before.

I'd say the nicest thing Scotty has ever done for someone wasn't actually related to his team for once, and instead directed towards others in need.

Whenever he was off duty, since he couldn't return home, he'd volunteer at different shelters or rehabilitation places to help those in rough situations and mindsets. He wanted to help those in similar positions to what he was once in, and also he sometimes saw his parents in the people needing rehabilitation or who needed help recovering from addictions. He knew he could never undo what he did to his father, but he thought that maybe if he could help others in the ways he could not help his parents, then maybe he could move on and be forgiven.

Nicest thing done for him: I'd say the nicest thing someone has ever done for him (in his eyes) is simply be there. Soap(or Price depending on the version) pulls him out of a bad situation with a different team. The captain was a POS and Scotty was damn close to a discharge that would not have been good. Soap managed to get the necessary people convinced to hand him over. People were confused why Soap wanted him, and then were angry when they saw how well Scotty performed and everything he could do. He just needed proper leadership. Scotty's always been a little lost, never quite fitting in until the 141. Soap saving him from himself and others was the kindest thing that ever happened to him. Later when they rescued Price, Scotty immediately fell in line behind him. He respects and admires Price and Soap. They're important to him.

Worst thing he's done to someone else: I'd say the worst thing Scotty has ever done to another person (aside from killing people for a living) is beat the shit out of his father. He ran away to the military after doing so, but he beat his father so close to death that when the man recovered he did not seek any action against his son because he was so petrified. After years and years of torment from both his parents, Scotty finally had enough, and during one of his parents drunken nights where he was almost attacked, he finally loses it. He grabs his father's bottle, smashes it on his head and proceeds to bash at the man's face, arms, anything and everything he can reach. He then pummels at his father's face while his mother screams and sobs from the corner. It's only when his father's near non-existent breathing manages to reach him over the pounding in his ears that he stops. He nearly just killed his father. He can't ever recognize his father's face and there's glass and blood everywhere. He leaves after that, grabbing nothing by his cross, his Bible a friend had gifted him, and a photo of his old dog. He never returned and he never sought his family out again. He's grateful they never sought action against him, but he knows it's because they were scared. He was scared too, and every so often has a nightmare where he relives what he did.

He hates himself for it.

🌾 What would your OC be like if they were evil?

Usually this is a thought that I apply to my characters but I hadn't thought of anything for Scotty. To be completely honest, if he were ever to be "evil", I truly believe he'd resemble Shepherd to some degree. That kind of action derived from such a horrible moment in Shepherd's past is something that Scotty can understand. Your men, your people were killed. 30k of them with a nuke and the world just watched. That kinda shit changes you. If something similar happened to Scotty, I can see him feeling similarly. Now would be so exactly what shepherd did? I don't think so, but I wouldn't put it past him to kill anyone who got in his way or was responsible.

So I guess what I'm saying in regards to "what would they be like if they were evil?", is that he'd be angry. Full of rage and pain. He'd want to hurt those he deems responsible for whatever situation happens. There are a lot of different definitions for evil, but Scotty is definitely one of those "destroy the world to save who he loves" type of guys. He may not act like it, but there's a lot of darkness behind those eyes.

🌼 Describe one of yours OCs worst nightmares.

Well "worst nightmare" can be taken two ways, and as I accidentally got its meaning literally the first time, im gonna give two answers.

1. One of his worst nightmares is definitely losing the 141, specifically Soap as he's the one who saves Scotty and is like a big brother to him. (Though in some versions it's Price who saves him) But they're all his family. He loves Price, Soap, Gaz, Roach and Ghost. They're his people, his family. They're all he has and due to his past he does have recurring nightmares of them dying. He also has a massive fear of drowning, and before joining the 141 he would have dreams of drowning almost every night. Then he met his team and it slowly shifted to losing his team. He's forced to watch them die and then wakes up before he himself dies. These dreams slowly fade as he gets used to his team, and since he knows how capable they all are he doesn't have them as much. That's not saying he doesn't still have them though, multiple nights per week he still manages to have varying nightmares about losing them, and it just leaves him worn down.

2. The "Worst nightmare" in the non literal sense I guess, would still be very similar. Losing his team, or anyone he loves. He's always found it hard to connect, and that no one has ever really understood him. They find him weird, odd, reclusive. They question his scars, his often jittery nature and overall hyper vigilance. The 141 takes him in and he manages to relax a bit. He still maintains hyper vigilance, especially in precarious situations, but when it's just his team his much calmer. So his worst nightmare, both literal dream wise and reality wise, are losing the 141. His team, his family. He doesn't talk about it, feels it makes him weak, but they're his family. He's never had a proper family, they're the first one he's ever gotten to experience.

Thanks so much for these dude! I spent some time going over them, and idk if I'm 100% satisfied, but I really had to think on some of these because the questions had never occurred to me before. It was fun exploring more of my OCs background and lore. Scotty grows and grows. Thanks again!

Saw a mockingbird for the first time yesterday and was immediately plotting to kill it

Well, that’s like committing a crime against music itself.” – Harper Lee, “To Kill a Mockingbird” Hold onto your magnifying glasses, folks, because Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” is dishing out life…

Ooo yeah, ask game time! >:)

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

💖 What made you start writing?

🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?

Perhaps I'll send more later....

👀👀👀 oh no

I fricken knew this would happen but I was like "nahhh, he wouldn't do that." Yes, yes you would. 😂 Thank you so much for these asks, I'm excited to answer them!

These are all from this list.

🥺 It took me a while to really think this through because I'm a pro at overthinking and also, I wasn't sure if my thoughts were the right answer. So, I'd say that a common interaction that always gets me in the feels (Happy/fluffy) is when I have characters touch foreheads or tenderly caress a thumb against a cheek.

A more angsty interaction that would get me in the feels would be character A holding character B, whether they be partners or family/friends, as character B dies in their arms. Super feely!

✨ (You did this on purpose, you who often hear me insult and complain about my writing. Fiend. If I must, I shall.) I am incredibly creative when it comes to my worlds. As for my writing, I really like how far I've come and how much my writing has improved.

💖 My fifth grade teacher, who loved giving us prompts either from a published book full of art prompts, or prompts he wrote for us. He helped me find my love for writing, and fifth grade was when I wrote my first ever fanfiction which was a Percy Jackson fanfic with a self-insert oc who was helping him and the gang fight monsters. Didn't know it was fanfiction at the time. I also dabbled in my own stories, and as a child who had only ever used toys to create worlds, to sit there and see worlds in my head while putting them on paper was an awesome experience and it's stuck with me since. I've continually improved my style, and I am forever grateful to Mr. Jackins for giving me my love for writing. You have no idea the monster you created XD

🤲 A snippet? Goodness, that's too much man! You're asking too-

"You're allowed to have friends outside of the task force, Hesh. Soap seems like a nice guy." Keegan sips his coffee; coffee Soap had brought him because Keegan wouldn't stop bitching at the weak shit in the lounge area.

"Merrick makes me feel like I can't." He says, leaning against the wall opposite Keegan.

"He's a mother hen, he worries." Keegan defends, eyes full of a teasing light.

"Ha, I don't know how I feel-" His words catch in his throat, a voice from a room down the hall echoing against the walls. He knows this voice. He turns, ignoring Keegan's confusion to march down the hall and barge into the room.

"You have something that belongs to me, Captain." That devilish voice, full of hatred and conniving rattles Hesh's skull and has him falling back against the door before his eyes settle on the face before him.

Captain Price stands just ahead, arms crossed, his eyes locked on the man before him.

"Rorke!" Hesh snarls, launching forward only to be held back.

"Hey there junior!" Rorke calls, cackling like the piece of shit he is.

Hesh snarls, his teeth bared like a wild animal desperate for a kill.

"You look good, it's been a while." His eyes flick to whoever is holding him. "Still can't keep your pups in line Merrick? Damn shame." He leans back, standing to his full height on the screen. "I'll be in touch Price, I don't let shit go easily." The screen goes black, and the hard eyes of Captain Price fall on Hesh.

"We need to talk." He says, and while he holds no anger in his voice, his eyes share how displeased he is.

Thank you so much for these asks!!!! I appreciate it so much, and I'm sorry it's a bit late. I did have fun answering them, and specifically sharing some of the writing!
