The wonderful @andtheotherwriter tagged me to explain my WIP in memes. Thanks! So, here goes:

I’ll tag @anightravensecho, @dreamsofbooksandmonsters, @whatdoyoumeantheresonly3episodes, @whatevertotesyourgoat and whoever else thinks this is fun! (Please don’t do it if you don’t feel like it).

If you write a book with a male protagonist and he never cries during the entire book sorry I’m bored!!!! I’m super bored, like extra bored, disinterested, not loving it!! Next

Requests for OC aesthetics are open.

♡ OC ask meme ♡

--answer these however you like! some parts have multiple questions, you don't have to answer them all. you can answer for one OC or many, or askers can ask about a specific OC. approach them however you like. you can use these for character development exercises too. just have fun with it!--

chess board: who is the most logical? or the schemer/planner?

shooting star: if your OC(s) could have one wish what would it be?

wild card: talk about any OC! anything you want!

My HC is that Jon 'pretentious' Sims learnt some fancy type of dancing in college, like the Viennese waltz or something. When Martin finally musters the courage to ask him 'to go dancing', he shows up at his doorstep in a too nice suit, all hair-slicked-back and shoes-with-heels. Martin, who intended to get drunk enough to lose at least half of his nerves and wore sneakers for the occasion, almost dies on the spot.

Are you aware that you possess a galaxy brain with magnum wisdom?

Thanks so much! For the compliment and the playlist ^^. The songs are just perfect! ’Flesh and bone‘ is actually one of my favorite songs, so seeing that one here made me smile. (Also: it’s true, isn’t it? If you ever want an OC aesthetic moodboard, drop by ;)).

I don't know if you are still doing the mini playlists? I've got Tungsten. He's sweet, nervous and shy, but once he sets his mind to something, he'll do it, trembling fingers and all. He wishes above all to have a group of people where he feels he belongs. He hopes to find that in a band of traveling magicians/artists he has joined. He always wears a tophat, in which his pet (Milton) lives. He dislikes heritage and does not want to leave anything behind. He's bisexual. Thanks so much!!!

awww he sounds adorable!! (also, love your url)

mini playlist:

1. blue lips, regina spektor

2. flesh and bone, keaton henson

3. unsteady, x ambassadors

4. echo, jason walker

5. not about angels, birdy

I would like to publicly announce that on top of my WIP, I am writing a play now. And I don’t have a single clue as to what I am doing.
