2 & 3 from section 1 for peri and 7 from whichever section has a more interesting #7 for diodore -moss

oooh these are fun ones!

2. Describe their tent set-up (outside and inside) (Peri)

I think Peri's tent is constructed similarly to Gale and Astarion's (boxy, fabric walls, little covered area outside). Deep blue fabric w/ golden astronomical embroidery, mostly the sort of thing you see on star maps. Little golden tassles around the edges of the tarp (?) and the doorframe. He'd have a small, circular, dark wood side table short enough that you can use it sitting on the ground, and a dark blue pillow next to it; there would be some parchment and a bronze miniature astrolabe on the table. The inside would be just. full to the brim with the gaudiest night-sky-themed pillows you've ever seen. No bedroll, no palette, just a nest that would put those cube pits in trampoline parks to shame. There would be two bird perches for his familiar Medani: one taller one next to his tent and one shorter one under the overhang. The shorter one would have a crow-sized bow-tie hanging from it. Rugs on rugs on the outside area ofc. 3. What would their character quest be titled? Why? (Peri)

This is a hard one! His tav ending involves taking over the Waterdeep arm of the Harpers, so I think his arc would have something to do with that. He'd be pretty bitter about being dropped into another near-apocalyptic mess when dealing with the last one a few years prior was supposed to be a one-time thing. Something-something ptsd in a world that doesn't have the words for that yet, something-something 'once a hero always a hero', something-something the weight of responsibility...he's a planeswalker so I think part of it would be whether he decides to stay on Toril long-term and directly help rebuild the Waterdeep Harpers or if he continues to run travel around afterwards, so maybe The Far Traveller/The Far Walker?

Harpson/Fae-son are also potential options. "Fae-son" nods to him being a changeling without it being super obvious (like Astarion's "The Pale Elf"). It would also mimic his backstory reveals from RoT ("oh he's not 'from here' so, like, the Feywild" -> "OH he's not from here"). 7. Describe their arc. How would a player help resolve it? What choices can be made? Can your Tav be turned down a dark path, or pulled to a lighter one? (Diodore)

Buckle up because we're in for a long one here. I've thought about Dora's story arc a lot because she's the first of my tavs that I truly made for the game while having full control over her backstory, etc. (versus Corentin, who had their arc baked into the story as a durge). Dora's a paladin of Corellon (oath of ancients) and her story arc as a companion would have to do with whether or not she should accept capital-r-Redemption, the process by which a drow can be truly "freed" from Lolth and rejoin the ranks of the rest of elven society. It involves all of the Redeemed drow's memories being erased and them being reincarnated as a surface elf. The implication seems to be that without that, regardless of a drow's actions, they'd be thrown back to Lolth when they die? Or at least that their eternal fate is unknown (which is the way I prefer to think of it for. personal reasons). Under normal circumstances, Dora would be a long way from Redemption being presented to her at all (she's not even 200 yet and has only been on the surface for a couple decades), but like with the other gods' Chosen among the companions, near-apocalyptic circumstances tend to speed up those sorts of things.

Of course, you'd have the themes of faith & relationship with deity when they're all unequivocally real and are also mostly all assholes; maintaining or breaking generational cycles; facing the unknown; morality when none of your choices are "good" (and how that interacts with morality vs self preservation); power vs freedom; identity outside of the people who made you; etc. The choice would first be presented to her sometime in late Act I/early Act II, likely the first long rest after the group resurfaces from the Underdark and you've probably gotten some of her backstory already. I have no idea how Larian would have characterized Corellon, but he's considered one of the more benevolent/open-minded deities iirc, which could be interesting to see contrasted with Mystra, Vlaa'kith, and Shar. How much that open-mindedness would extend to a drow, even one who has been a faithful follower even before she escaped to the Surface (and who inherited that faith from her father), is unclear. At the beginning of the game she would be leaning towards accepting Redemption, despite her own misgivings about whether or not she would still be her in that case.

Her final decision (at the ending pier scene) would depend on the relationship she has with the PC and the other companions. Her best ending, imo, would be her not accepting Redemption but continuing to be a force for good. If she has a good relationship with the PC, she would have something to lose. I think seeing the House of Mourning would affect her too. After all, the thing Corellon is offering to her as a way to find peace is the same thing the Sharrans are using as a way to manipulate and control others.

She's viscerally aware of how she was socialized and very actively chooses "good", so pushing her towards a darker path would be incredibly difficult but not impossible. If you side with the goblins she'll leave immediately, and turn on you if she's in your party when you attack the grove. But if you decide to try and control the cult in Act II, depending on your over-all actions before then and how you've interacted with her, you could disillusion her to the point of convincing her to break her oath. That path would entail convincing her that controlling the cult is actually the best idea. I'm sure there would be other times that her oath could break that wouldn't necessarily lock her into an "evil" path, especially with how Oathbreakers are handled in the game. Knocking out Minthara instead of killing her outright and letting Auntie Ethel go in Act I instead of killing her are two things that come to mind.

If she doesn't choose Redemption she would be at the epilogue party, of course. I'm a bit undecided on what would happen if she does choose Redemption. She may not be there at all, w/ Jaheira, Halsin, Minthara, and/or Astarion mentioning running into her in her new, reincarnated state. Or she would be there, confused, and mention how the PC seems familiar in a way she can't quite place. In that case, she would ask them how they know each other and mention something about feeling a twinge of grief looking at everyone, but that she doesn't know why she feels that way. It would be up to the PC how much they tell her (if they tell her anything at all).

#ty for the ask mossy!!#and sorry for the wait lol a couple of these stumped me for a minute #thinking about peri & jaheira as narrative parallels...#b/c i want to be clear here. peri was and is *not* looking for more responsibility re: harpers #he was perfectly happy doing security systems. him not seeking power was an active character choice i made for him b/c he's a wizard #but in the Faerun In My Head (tm) the Waterdeep Harpers also get decimated by the Absolute b/c why would they not? theyd be a major threat #especially b/c their high harper was the catalyst for forming the lord's alliance and. like. you think they're *not* reconvening?#for Weird Cult Two: 2 Cult 2 Furious??#gortash would take remallia OUT if at all possible #and also I like torturing my characters #and i think the whole 'weight of duty'/hero's curse (once you get drawn into one situation you can't ignore the others/they come to you)#thing is interesting for peri in particular. the man just wants to live a quiet life and he will! for the most part.#just now with thousands of lives in his hands b/c he's helped stop 2 apocalypses and is irrevocably tied to the fate of the Coast now #his conscious wouldn't let him just leave the Harpers or Waterdeep to rot. and that seems to be similar to the situation jaheira's in #generational cycles the cruel march of time history repeats itself etc etc #that's also why i think he would get Weave'd and have an unusually long lifespan. he wanted to rest and the universe said “no <3”#i think about dora's story a lot also because the whole 'you can be redeemed (from something you were born with)#but only by removing integral parts of yourself' thing hits *right* in the religious trauma #you cant tell me there wouldn't be *some* part of a Redeemed Drow's soul that remembers the people from before they were changed #unless they just. get a new soul in which case it literally isn't them anymore.#doras first real & healthy relationships happen in-game #thats part of why she's drawn to astarion. his bullshit is predictable to her and therefore feels safer.#definitely safer than whatever is going on with the others #(also why she trusts karlach so quickly: she's straightforward and blunt & doesn't really hide things?#and was also the only one to warn her against astarion. dora'd literally never had someone like that in her life before so it stuck)#and she'd feel a bit uncomfortable w/ the concept of Redemption at first but who is she to argue with a god?#esp one who seems kinder than many of the others #but as the story progresses she realizes that she *can* trust these people and that they trust her #and she sees how Gale and Shadowheart and Lae'zel are struggling w/ their deities #and not only does she have something to lose now but she's seeing more of how the gods work generally

***

Evan woke up the next morning to the harsh bleep of his phone that always managed to elicit pure terror in his body. He groaned and rolled out of bed. He’d forgotten to turn off the alarm and of course he was awake at six in the fucking morning on a Saturday.

He threw on a dressing gown over his tank top and plaid pyjama bottoms, slipped into his fluffy slippers and trudged to the kitchen for some coffee.

Once he got to the kitchen he saw Dorcas was already sat at the little island she passed him a warm cup of coffee as soon as he sat down. Dorcas had always been the earliest riser of the band, always eager to get ready quickly and get the hell out of the house, he supposed that’s what growing up as the eldest sister to four brothers did to you.

“Heard your alarm go off, figured you’d forgot to turn it off.”

“Dorcas you lifesaver. And I mean seriously a lifesaver, I might have murdered someone without this coffee.”

Dorcas laughed.

“Who?”

Evan rubbed his eyes.

“Barty probably. He’s fucking annoying.”

“Any excuse to get up close to him then more like.”

Evan’s head snapped up.

“What?”

Dorcas rolled her eyes.

“Please you’re shit at hiding it.”

“Don’t know what you’re talking ‘bout Cas.”

Evan mumbled, taking a long drink from his mug.

“Please, save the crap. If you don’t have a crush on him, why do you get so worked up by people calling you a couple. It consumes your every waking thought, now why is that? Tell me.”

“Ughhh I don’t want to think about it.”

He groaned and stared into the brown murky depths of the mug he was cradling close to him.

Dorcas softened.

“Look, Marls and Barty are really close, our next tour stop is London which means she’ll obviously drop by rehearsals. I can get her to ask him if he-“

“He doesn’t.”

Evan ran his thumb over a tiny chip in the ceramic. It was a mug Barty had painted around four years ago, Dora had decided for her sixteenth she wanted to go to a pottery painting place like when they were little. Barty was- honestly pretty shit at painting. The background was covered in vast uneven strokes of black. He’d tried to paint a white ferret on it - ‘Ev this one is for you, if you were any animal I’d say you’d be a ferret.’ - thing is it looked more like a snake with legs that was also, well, a zombie. It was Evan’s most prized possession. He’d be taking it to the grave. He turned it to look inside the handle. Barty had been too lazy to paint that part so instead he’d just written crudely with the brush - ‘B + E forever bitches!’. His eyes crinkled fondly as he read it.

“I just need to get over it.”

His expression hardened and he looked up at Dorcas again.

“Get over what?”

They both turned to find Barty in the doorway. His hair was sticking up in all directions. Fuzzy spikes of green and black. He stretched his arms all the way up as he yawned, flexing his wrist so his ‘SKITTLES’ tattoo was on full display. He had one of Evan’s jumpers on over his pyjama top. Evan really wanted to reach out and hold. Why’d he have to go and look so soft? Wasn’t fucking fair.

“Nothing Jr.”

Barty nodded in response as he padded over and sat himself in the chair next to Evan.

“Why’re you even awake?”

Dorcas asked.

Barty dropped his head down onto the island counter dramatically.

“Forgot to turn off my alarm.”

Dorcas laughed out loud, fully threw her head back and everything.

“Two birds of a fucking stupid feather you two are.”

She got up and put her mug in the sink before heading out of the kitchen. Barty turned his head up to look at Evan as soon as she was gone.

“You don’t have to tell me anything Evan, but if you want to you can. You know that right?”

Barty lifted his head and propped it up on his hand as Evan nodded.

“Yeah. Yeah I know Barty.”

“Good.”

Barty shuffled his chair closer before dropping his head onto Evan’s shoulder and falling quiet. It was instinctual, the way Evan brought his arms up around him. After a few moments he looked down though, Barty was suspiciously silent.

“Bee?”

He whispered.

“M’awake. You’re just comfy Ev. You’re really good at hugs.”

Might be ‘cause I was built to hold you.

Damn that’s a fucking stupid thing to say. Fuck I’ve turned into Reg whenever he’s around James.

Yeah Evan needed to get over this like fucking yesterday.

•••

Barty breathed in deeply, face buried in the crux of Evan’s neck. He couldn’t help it really. Evan smelled like home. Probably a creepy thing to say, oh well wasn’t like he said it out loud. Evan was home though, plain and simple.

He didn’t want to move, probably ever. Still eventually as the rest of the group came pattering into the kitchen and things got livelier he had to shift away.

•••

They got on the train at noon, ready to head to London. Evan took the window seat watching as the city turned to rolling hills turned to city again. Barty kept sneaking glances over at him, wasn’t really sure what he was looking for honestly but-

“What?”

Evan asked finally, tone irritated.

“Nothing, just bored.”

“Oh um-“

Evan glanced around, he and Barty were in a two seater while the rest of the band sat around the table in front of them, chatting animatedly.

“S’fine Ev, not anything you can do about it, I’m gonna be bored till we get off this bloody train. Fucking buzzing.”

“Excited for tomorrow then yeah?”

Barty turned to him with shining eyes.

“D’you remember when we were eighteen? First time at the O2 for a concert? Fuck d’you remember seeing it like that, covered in all the lights ‘n shit. Eventim Apollo doesn’t even compare.”

Evan chuckled. They’d gone to the O2 for the first time June 2019 to see a concert when Evan was still in his backstreet boys phase, something no one was allowed to talk about now under any circumstances.

“D’you remember what you said to me?”

•••

“Look at that stage Ev. Imagine playing there. For all these people.”

Evan turned to Barty and ruffled his hair.

“One day Bee, we’ll be playing here. I promise you yeah? We’ll be playing here and it’ll all the fucking sold out.”

“You think?”

•••

“Yeah. Yeah I do.”

for the aa ask game: 7, 15, 20 (😉), 36, 42, 43, 57, 67, 78, 98 ❤️

this is a lot so you dont have to answer all of them but i thought the questions were really fun hehe

hi hehe ty for all the questions dora!!

7. Favourite Design?

there's a lot of designs i like so idk if i have a fav, but i'm just gonna go ahead and say beanix. dude is comfy and chillin' and i respect that

15. Random headcanon you can share?

i have,,, so many,,, but one of my favs is that one of trucy's fav movies is The Parent Trap, but she's never seen it all the way through. she always falls asleep partway through, and has gotten as far as the return from the camping trip but has never seen past that somewhat related is that trucy and phoenix do in fact know annie and hallie's handshake/dance from the movie and can do it perfectly

20. Did you ever write fanfiction for Ace Attorney? If so, which one is your best piece

i have! i've written a few fics (and an essay) for ace attorney, and more wips trapped in my gdocs. i think my best piece is my nightmare fic from nrmt week earlier this year! it was my first AA fic and i'm still very proud of it

36. Prettiest eyes?

this is probably the expected answer from me but i'm gonna say phoenix. there's just so many different ways ppl portray his eyes (brown, blue, dark, light, variations of heterochromia) and i think that's neat!!

42. Unpopular opinion?

idk how unpopular this is but i think bratfeen is cute in theory but would be an absolute train wreck in practice. both of them are at very unstable points in their lives, with feenie being incredibly emotional and reactive (as we saw in 3-1) and bratworth being so under mvk's thumb. it would very much be "unstoppable force meets unmovable object" in a way that would just end in disaster and heartbreak

43. Favourite OST?

there are so many good ones but i'm going with my first response which is lang's theme, Speak up, Pup. it's so good i love it

57. Which character would you never want to meet in real life?

*timmy turner's dad's voice* Matt Engarde i love him as a villain but he's such a bitch that i would have to physically restrain myself from punching him and i don't think i'd be strong enough to

67. A character everyone else hates but you like even though you understand the hate that they get?

i don't think i have one? most of the characters i like are generally well liked from what i've seen. i think there are some characters that are generally well liked that i don't even tho i see their appeal

78. Who or what got you into AA?

a lot of my mutuals on twt and ppl i was in a server with were really into it, and i thought it looked like something i'd be interested in, so i downloaded the trilogy onto my phone and the rest is history

98. Which character do you trust the least to pick out a movie for a movie’s night?

kristoph. i feel like he'd have bad taste in movies and also be super pretentious about it in an annoying film bro way. i don't think i'd enjoy whatever movie he picked or the experience of watching it with him

🕰,😂,😳,🤓,👱🏻‍♀️,🎇

for the emoji game, answer now sis >:)

i forgot about the game for a sec LMAO but sure!!

🕰 - What time is it where you are rn?

7:05 AM, I have school *sobs*

😂 - Are you ticklish?

I hate to say it but yes, in many places actually. My neck, my stomach, the sides of my stomach, my thighs as well I guess??

😳 - Do you like your name?

If we're talking about my username, then ofc I do! Fun fact is it actually came out of the blue when I was writing an essay for my homework. As for my real name, I think the answer is obvious if you know me irl (yes!)

🤓 - How did you get your name?

The name 'Veda' and my username 'veeaxx' all were thoughts I had gotten in my head, and after some research I thought they sounded pretty nice and unique so I went for it. My real name though,, it's the name of a relative.

👱🏻‍♀️ - What is your go to hairstyle?

I have short hair, so tying it up really isn't an option. But, it's either I would a.) wear it messy or b.) wear it with a headband because my bangs are long. sometimes you'll catch me looking like dora the explorer though<3

🎇 - What’s your most searched thing on Google?

You think I keep track of this huh? 👀 I actually don't know what my most searched thing is,, but if 'fanfics' and 'x readers' count then that's it. Browse my history and you'll see the same search with numerous fandoms.

i loved answering these!! thanks for asking </33

dnd sleepover saturday: 4, 10, and 27 for tangerine and/or ragwort -- silly dnd 17 for az big three

Ty for the asks Arlowe <3

4 - What is your favorite part of DMing?

DMing for Az is the first DMing I’ve done in like 5 years, and the reason I stopped doing it was I just had a group of people that didn’t really engage with the game and it was really difficult to put in that level of effort of planning without receiving the return of the fun of actually playing with a great group. So I think my favorite thing is being able to craft a story that makes my friends want to engage with it and bring them as much fun and excitement as it does for me? My slightly less cheesy answer is that I love having all the information and feeding it out like a trail of breadcrumbs and being able to inspire “what do I do if I have theories” moments cuz I’m sick and twisted just like baby jigsaw

10 - How do you come up with characters?

I really like characters born out of juxtaposition (Tangerine being a kender raised by orcs Aka a reverse Gorgug, SRG being a killing machine devoted to a god of life etc.) so usually I’ll start with some sort of seed of two conflicting qualities and sort of build a character I think would be interesting around that idea. I also love playing characters that I think are funny. So if I come up with a hilarious character concept (eg the stoner door dash driver fairy barbarian) that is also a common starting place

27 - What three songs remind you of them?

Tangerine: this is so hard I’ve had her for like 2.5 years of going “oh actually every song is about her” but I think the big three of her character are “Rugged Country” by Japanese Breakfast, “It’s My Way!” by Buffy Sainte Marie, and “What’s Up Danger” by Blackway & Black Caviar and then a secret 4th answer of pretty much any riot grrrl song

Ragwort: “Silver Trembling Hands” by The Flaming Lips, “Only Happy When it Rains” by Garbage, “Comin Soon” by Annie DiRusso. My silly little wet guy <3

17 - How would they react to a beach episode?

Dora: Dora would hate the beach so much. Salt water AND sand?? Nightmare for a woman made of metal who collects rare books and likes to look nice. She would wear a very nice beach cover up and a massive hat and spend the whole time pouting in the shade as far away from the shoreline as possible.

Mimiko: I think she would spend the whole time being like one of those photos of Victorian women at the beach in the full floor length dress with a parasol, and despite how uncomfortable that would seem they are genuinely having a good time. I think she would enjoy a little beach ice cream. They might need some help navigating the actual beach cuz I don’t think sand is particularly cane-user friendly.

Joseph: I’m gonna be real I don’t think Joseph has ever been to the beach. He only vaguely knows what the ocean is. He would spend like 20 minutes being terrified of the waves and then after he got used to the water would have the fucking time of his life. Someone might need to go save him when he inevitably floats out to sea

📌✨🎶💎 for the ask thingy???? :D

I’m using 🌲for gravity falls, 🛸 for invader zim, and 🍂 for over the garden wall!

📌 How did you find your hyperfixation?

🌲- my brother and I saw an advertisement for it on Disney channel before it premiered and decided to watch it! It became our “show” kinda and we always tuned into the new episodes when they came out. One of the only times i’ve seen my brother cry is during the finale when it ended in 2016. I only actually fully hyperfixated on it when me and my friend watched it in late 2020.

🛸 - My friend had been fucking begging me to watch invader zim since we met in 2013 and i finally decided to watch it over spring break of 2020…and then the world shut down. Personally i blame the trauma of the start of covid for making this hyperfixation so intense.

🍂 - (Ex) girlfriend was a wirt kinnie and asked me to watch it while we were dating in September. I had already always been planning to watch it, because it was in that kinda “cartoon trifecta” in the 2010s and was closely tied with the gravity falls fandom, but I just never watched it. Oops.

✨ What draws you towards your hyperfixation?

Honestly I have no fucking clue, the only common threads I can feasibly see is “cartoon with a pathetic pre/teenage boy that for whatever reason I kin or relate to”.

🎶 if your hyperfixation has songs/an ost, what is your favorite song from it?

🌲 - Theme song. My friend has like multiple recordings of me stimming during it and it’s mildly embarrassing but whatever

🛸 - The show doesn’t really have an ost but after reading the artbook, jhonen apparently specifically told Kevin Manthei to NOT make the sound design sound like a kid’s show and jesus this man delivered. Half the suspense in dark harvest is JUST from the background music and sound design alone. Also the theme song slaps.

🍂- oh god oh fuck oh god how do i choose. FUCK. Patient is the night? No, Adelaide parade, wirts laugh in it makes me shrivel up into a ball of tears. NO THE BEAST IS OUT THERE. TAVERNKEEPER RIGHTS SHE WAS ROBBED OF A LONGER SONG,,,over the garden wall is also just so pretty and RAHHHH THIS IS SO HARD. ALL OF IT. IDC IM CHOOSING ALL OF IT AND YOU CANT STOP ME

💎 - are there any fun facts or trivia that you would like to share?

🛸 - I know way too much about this fucking show 😭 The artbook provided so much shit AND i’ve been to multiple panels with Rikki/Aaron/Richard/etc so their stories are fucking hilarious. Their pilot episode was shown directly after Dora at a company meeting. Jhonen was edgy as fuck and put red panels over the lights in the room to try and make it look more intimidating but it just made the light pink. The reason Rikki was brought onboard to the team was because Jhonen met him at a comic book convention and only walked up to their table bc him and his wife were goths. They didn’t tell Richard the movie was happening until the last minute because they knew he’d be extremely excited to play Zim again and didn’t want to get his hopes up if the deal fell through. There’s more but this is turning into an essay so imma shut up now.

Ty for the ask tia ily <3

Favourite falcon and winter soldier scenes?

Hi!! I actually I got an ask, ty 😊

My Top 10 TFATWS scenes:

1. Isaiah Bradley Memorial - This for me was the best story arc of the show and it would've been beneficial to the show if more was told of Isaiah's story. The memorial was a brilliant idea imo, certainly the best outcome of a ridiculously unfair and painful situation. Sam really tried.

2. "I am Captain America". For very obvious reasons, finally the moment we were all waiting on, Sam to be officially acknowledged as Cap. Yes, Steve handed the shield to him, but it was great to see him get center stage while adjusting and accepting this heavy responsibility. I very nearly cried, seeing Sam have his moment,it meant so much on many levels.

3. Bucky and Sam's finally having a proper convo: "Doesn't matter what Steve thought"/ "I owe you an apology". Negl, this scene saved the entire show for me. After looking forward to TFATWS to see Sambucky, then to have Bucky spending most of the show being a dick to Sam??? It just wasn't on, I'm extremely relieved that he said the word "sorry".

4. The Dora Milaje opening a can of whoop ass on Walker. They were so bad ass, I couldn't get enough of that fight scene. Having them drop in was a wonderful surprise and the lashings were well deserved. Everybody loved that, everybody clapped.

5. Sam to Zemo: "What about Bucky?"/ "Isn't this how Gods talk?". Atp, they were making Zemo look too awesome, resourceful, likable and somehow extremely woke. Having Sam check him for a bit on his hypocrisy was great (but not enough). Also, Sam's concern for Bucky here, tell me you didn't feel something when he said that line. I remember thinking, isn't this love?

6. Boat fixing. Need I say more. The fact that Sambucky were willing just to spend time in each other's presence and work together on anything, even seemingly mundane tasks.... that says it all, doesn't it? This scene was so totally unexpected that it was almost shockingly good, like a balm. And of course, it had to be on my list for the boat metaphor that erased any doubt.

7. Cap's welcome home party and Uncle Bucky. Sam's people love him and he's very much appreciated in his hometown, I love that they showed again that he has that support. Uncle Bucky rolling up in Sam's ride with the remnants of a cake? The moment Bucky hooked his chin on Sam's shoulder stays with me and always will. In that moment, I knew he was home.

8. Bucky waking up to the boys playing with the shield. I appreciated this scene for 4 reasons: AJ & Cass are free, happy kids in a happy home, having them play with the shield seems symbolic of Sam remaining down to earth and accessible to his fam/ roots and thirdly, it also showed how much Bucky is trusted by and accepted in the Wilson family, lastly, a well rested Bucky.

9. Sam and Karli's convo, before the moment was ruined by you-know-who. Getting to see a clearer picture of the type of leader that Sam was going to be was very important and we see his willingness to be a voice for the disenfranchised. We deserved to see more of counselor and mediator Sam in action tbh.

10. When Zemo expected Bucky to end him, but instead he was handed over to the Dora. This was so beautifully done, showed Bucky's character development, Zemo was a tad disappointed and it was a great callback as well.

Masterlist

You spent more than an hour folding paper with Steve. You found a few of the more complicated designs as he kept to the more simplistic ones. He seemed content and you felt as much. He made small talk as you worked and you caught him staring at you when he thought you weren’t aware.

You sat up and stretched your neck. You were starting to cramp from being hunched over. He raised his brows as he lifted his head and you gave a shy smile. You pushed yourself up and paced slowly around.

“You okay?” He asked.

“Yeah, just… stiff,” You touched your hips and turned away.

You neared the window and glanced out. The snow was thinning, the grass peeked out in patches. You wished you could open the window just to smell the mud and moisture. But you couldn’t.

You huffed and turned back. Steve watched you placidly as you leaned against the window ledge. He tilted his head curiously.

“What is it?” He asked.

“Nothing,” You lied. “Just stretching out the kinks.”

He glanced around. His eyes fell on your little exercise bike and he gave a pitiful look. Then he frowned and exhaled as he played with a paper butterfly.

“It’s been a long winter,” He remarked. “Too bad.”

“I wouldn’t mind the snow or the gloom,” You turned back to the window. “If only I could go out and smell the air; hear the trees; feel the wind.”

“Oh… you don’t go out?” He wondered.

You looked down and shook your head as you spun back to him.

“It’s not safe,” You said.

“All the way out here? For a couple minutes? Who could could that hurt?” He asked.

“But…” You tried to argue but the thought of leaving the room had your heart in a titter. “I don’t know…”

“You don’t wanna go for a walk? Just around the yard?” He offered. “I’ll be there. I think I can keep you safe.”

“I don’t… I don’t have a coat or shoes,” You said. “How will I--"

“They’ll be a bit big but I’m sure Bucky has something you can borrow.” He suggested.

“But… if he finds out…”

“I can keep a secret if you can,” He smiled. “Come on. It hasn’t been this sunny in months.”

You clasped your hands together and wrung them. You bared your teeth nervously and swayed back and forth.

“I don’t… I don’t want to get you in trouble. Really. I’m not supposed to--”

“You ever just wanna do something because it’s fun, not because it’s something you’re supposed to do?” He asked.

“Well I…” Never really had that choice, you thought. “You won’t tell him?”

“What Bucky doesn’t know, can’t hurt us,” Steve assured. “So, what do you say?”

You bit your lip and tried not to smile. You nodded and shyly looked down. You still wore your pajamas and the robe. “I should change first,” You mumbled. “I won’t be long.”

You wore a baggy coat and pair of oversized boots. You wrapped the laces around the ankles of the boots several times before tying them tight. You must’ve looked like some sort of duck as you stomped around. You didn’t mind as the prospect of a stroll outside made your nerves flutter.

Leaving your room was in itself overwhelming. You looked up and down the hall several times before you found the strength to go further. The stairs were another obstacle and the further you got, the more you felt as if you would dissolve into a cloud. Steve led you to the front door and opened it for you.

He waited for you to go first before he followed. He pulled the door closed as you looked around the front yard. You were frozen in disbelief. The air was chilly but not bitter. You could hear the distant chirping of the birds who harkened the arrival of spring through the trees.

Steve passed you and hopped down the steps. He turned back to you with his usual cheer.

“Well, you coming?” He asked.

You nodded and tucked your hands in your pockets as you ambled down the stairs in the large boots. With his long legs, he could easily outpace you but he kept his steps measured as he walked you down the drive. He was close, but not too close. Occasionally, his arm brushed against yours.

He turned and you followed as he guided you through melting snow and around to the back of the house. You passed the shed and the same tree you scaled in your escape. You didn’t look up at the broken branch or search for a sign of your failed flight. That was long ago. That was a naive girl who didn’t realise she had nowhere to go.

Behind the house was a small forest. You followed Steve as he led you to the trees and you glanced around at the barren sentinels. The peeling white bark of birch and the old creased skin of walnut and oak. You reached out to touch one and let it scratch against your palm. It was real.

You could sense him watching you but he said nothing. Only stood patiently as you took the path a step at the time. You paused to examine a groove in a trunk or pick out a pine cone with a particularly pleasing shape. You would toss them back as you went along and carried on through the thawing brush.

He turned you down another thin trail, this one harder to see through the muck and snow. He held your arm to keep you from slipping and you squeezed together as he pushed past the thin branches. You heard the water ahead and gasped. He guided you to the small river and let you go.

“Oh,” You exclaimed and rushed forward. You looked down into the frigid water as it trickled slowly over pebbles. “Oh my god.”

He was only a foot away as he came up beside you. He watched you kneel by the river and pluck a rock to toss in. It sank with a plop into the shallow ripples and you repeated the act. You laughed like a child and grabbed a stick to drag through the water.

“Thank you,” You breathed as you looked up at him. “Thank you, I… I never thought…”

“It’s nothing, Dora,” He knelt beside you and watched the water fork around your stick, “I told Bucky he shouldn’t keep you pent up in there. It’s not healthy.”

“Well, he’s only trying to help me,” You looked away guiltily. Your body went rigid as you thought of Bucky. “You know, he’s just… if he found out we were here…”

“You worry too much,” He put a hand on your shoulder and squeezed. “If he did, I’d tell him it was my idea. It was, you know? You’ve done nothing wrong.”

You were quiet as you flicked the stick out of the water and tossed it away. You stood and clapped your hands off on the jacket. It smelled like Bucky.

“So…” You began as you paced along the edge of the water. “You said you work with Bucky.”

“I do,” He rose but made no move to near you.

“So why aren’t you with him now?” You asked.

“Well, sometimes it’s better we work alone,” He said coolly. “He prefers it really. We only work together in the sense that we work for the same people.”

“And you… kill bad men, too?” You wondered.

“You know,” He let out a long breath, “I try not to. I only try to save people… people like you, Dora, but Bucky… he has a different perspective. I’d rather see the bad men locked up and he’d rather see them, well, dead.”

“Oh,” You stopped and poked your toe along the edge of the water.

Bucky’s job wasn’t to kill the bad men, it was to stop them, but wasn’t that the same thing? You recalled he said his orders were to kill you that day but it didn’t seem likely if his goal was to help people like you. You frowned as your thoughts stormed and bounced off each other wildly.

“So, what would happen…” You started but quickly swallowed your words. “Never mind.”

“What?” Steve asked as he took a step closer.

“No, it’s stupid.” You said. “I’m stupid.”

“You’re not, Dora. As little as I know you, I’d say quite the opposite,” He smiled. “So ask me.”

You looked down and backed away from him. He didn’t try to follow you, only turned as you rounded him. You crossed your arms and spun to face him.

“If you found someone like me, would you have to kill me?”

His face fell and his chest rose as he stifled a sigh. His jaw tensed and for a moment, he resembled Bucky; steely and dark. He shook his head as his blue eyes flicked away.

“No, Dora, no, I wouldn’t,” He said. “We don’t kill innocent people otherwise we’d be as bad as those we try to stop.”

You felt the breath go out of you. That couldn’t be true. It just couldn’t. Bucky couldn’t have lied to you and yet, as you peeked over at Steve, he didn’t seem to be either. Did he know where Bucky found you? Had he been there that day too? Your head spun and you gripped it as if it would fall off your shoulders.

“Did he tell you where I came from?” You asked sharply.

“He said he found you, or rather, you found him,” Steve shrugged. “Said you wandered into his backyard with bruises and little more than a sheet to keep you warm.”

You shook your head and clutched your head tighter. “No, no, no, he couldn’t--” You blabbered. “No, no, that’s not how it happened.”

“Dora,” Steve inched forward and you backed away from him. “Dora, it’s okay. You’re just… confused. You’ve been through a lot and sometimes our minds distort the truth to protect us.”

“No, I remember!” You shouted as you ripped your hands away from your head and balled them into fist. “I remember!”

“Dor,” He said softly as he reached out to you, “We should go back.”

“No, he’s lying.” You exclaimed. “You’re lying!”

“Dor--”

You slapped his hand away as he tried to grab you and kicked out. He flinched and you reeled away from him. You spun and quickly dashed towards the trees. The boots slid through the mud but you kept your legs moving as you dove into the brush. You could hear him behind you, not far. You knew he would catch you; he was bigger, stronger, faster. You didn’t care as your chest burned with anger.

“Dora,” He yelled after you as he chased you. “Dora, stop!”

You wouldn’t; couldn’t stop. You just wanted to be alone; to be away from this cursed place. You were so utterly stupid to have believed Bucky. To have trusted him. He could be nice but he could also be terribly cruel. He was no different from those men who held you in that concrete box. And Steve, he could be no better.

You were suddenly stumbling forward as a weight crashed into you from behind. You fell into the mud and the air was knocked from you as Steve landed atop you. You wiggled around and wrestled with him as you cried out. You managed to roll over onto your back and clawed at his large chest. He caught your wrists and held them to the ground as you writhed beneath him.

“Please, Steve,” You begged. “Please…”

“Why did you run?” He asked breathless.

“Why won’t you let me?” You returned. “Why are you helping him?”

“He’s my friend and--”

“You said I was your friend,” You snarled. “You said we were--”

“Bucky’s not bad.” He insisted. “I know he’s not. And I know he only means the best for you, Dora.”

“No, no,” You struggled under his weight. “No…”

“Yes. He’s right. We both know it.” Steve said desperately. “There’s nowhere else for you Dora. Nowhere. Nothing short of another cell or a street curb.”

You went limp beneath him. Your eyes were wet with tears as your chest swelled with dread.

“But I could try--”

“What’s you’re real name, Dora?” Steve asked. “How old are you? Where are you from?”

You searched his face frantically. There were no answers. They were all gone; stolen from you. You shook your head.

“Please…” You said softly. “Don’t tell Bucky.”

“Dora, I have--”

You lifted your head and pressed your lips to his before he could protest. You hoped that he was as easy to appease as Bucky. Your kisses were your only protection. Your only value was your body. Just as before, you were a toy to be played with.

You dropped your head back and he stared down at you. His forehead was creased and his eyes wide with shock.

“Why did you do that, Dora?” He breathed.

You blinked at him as your lip trembled.

“Why?” He repeated.

You turned your head away from him and shivered. He released your wrists and pushed himself to his feet. He reached down and lifted you by your arm. He was silent, you feared, seething. He turned you back to the path and marched you toward the trees.

You reached over with your other hand and grabbed his. He stopped and looked over at you. You squeezed and gazed up at him. He let go of your arm as you clung to him.

“I did it because I wanted to,” You said.

Steve gulped and looked up into the trees. He nodded and took your other hand and continued on. His boots crushed the twigs and wet leaves loudly. His fingers tightened and loosened over yours as you got closer to the house.

“I won’t tell him,” Steve uttered at last. “It’s our secret, Dor.”

Claudia!!

it’s time to talk about the main character gal!!! i’m so hype ty for asking.

1. Claudia is actually a big ol’ nerd. Like, an anime watching nerd. Watched all the Star Wars movies seven times over nerd. Has Opinions on the end of Homestuck nerd. Fiction offers her a nice escape and she actually began drawing because she wanted to do fanart, which she still does when the story starts. Also she’s a tsumugi liker.

2. She has a weird thing about eye contact and eyes in general. It feeds into her paranoia. She hates making eye contact, and she hates even more other people making eye contact with her. Claudia in general doesn’t like being looked at (don’t take her photo, don’t look at any one part of her for too long, etc.) but eye contact is the worst, second only to looking at a camera. If you somehow talk her into getting her picture taken, she will look at ANYTHING but the camera. Seriously.

3. When she was younger and first really getting into drawing, she needed someone to reference for specific poses and because she was like, twelve and had yet to find a tool for that, so she would bribe Dora (who was around ten) with candy to stand still for her. Thus, a lot of the older characters in her art ended up looking a bit like her sister. Claudia still does it sometimes.

4. Claudia? A lesbian icon. Loves Girls Always. Loves drawing girls, loves hanging out near girls, loves being friends with girls, can’t wait to date a girl–she just is full of love for all women everywhere. She figured it out when she was thirteen and thought that everyone was kidding when they said that they had a crush on a middle school boy because middle school boys are repulsive. They were not kidding, which horrified her on every level.

5. As it is, Claudia has a few groups of friends (friends from school, friends from work, friends from the internet), but she’s only ever really had one real best friend: Holliday Hirsch. They have similar interests and opinions (although they have wildly different ways of expressing them), but Holliday became pretty popular once they entered high school. Claudia did not. Despite that, they are still best friends and Holliday (along with the help of mid-fighting phase Dora) ensured that she was never, ever bullied in high school.

6. The feature Claudia likes the best about herself is her hair. It’s really long and a nice shade of chocolate brown and it’s very straight and shiny. Also it hardly ever tangles. She’s pretty plain when it comes to styling it (usually she just leaves it down and with a center part), but once she lets Holliday play with it, it goes from pretty nice to absolutely stunning.

7. She’s a notebook and sketchbook addict. Any time that she has extra money that isn’t going towards “Oh, I’m in high school and trying to apply to college and I have to live all on my own,” it goes to buying more and more and more notebooks. Claudia uses all of them and even if she hates what she drew in them, she can’t throw them out because she likes looking at the covers of them.

8. She’s a part of exactly zero (0) extracurriculars at her school. She has her art and the art she does around school, she has her job, and she has her downtime, and that’s all she does. That plus keeping her grades up (she gets anxious if she slips below a B in anything) means that she’s just way too busy to throw a sport of anything on top of it. School administration keeps trying to push her into something because they worry that she isn’t socalized enough, but that’s one of the few areas where Claudia will not budge. She knows her limits.

9. This girl genuinely likes vegetables, given that they’re cooked properly and not just steamed and then thrown at you. Fried onion rings are her favorite food in the world.

10. Claudia Margot Seyler is the literal definition of a mom friend. She just wants everyone that she’s close to to be happy and healthy and okay and NOT DRUNK AT ONE IN THE MORNING HOLLIDAY WHAT ARE YOU DOING WE HAVE A TEST TOMORROW!!!!!!!! She ends up holding people’s hair back a lot. It’s exhausting sometimes, but she doesn’t stop doing it.

Drop one of my characters’ names in my inbox and I’ll tell you 10 facts about them!
