     VENIA GRINNED, their cheeks flushing from the compliment. It was honestly an honor to get that type of COMPLIMENT from Caspian, and they couldn’t help but feel pride. Pressing their hands to their CHEEKS, they bounced around a little, smiling so much it HURT.

     “ You have no IDEA how much that means to me, thank you so much! “

        ❝ Oh well–– ❞ The words tumble out in his attempt to make his compliment seem like nothing more than a friendly greeting. But it isn’t. Compliments come easy but not when it was before a person as brilliant as Venia. He found himself humbled each time he spent a heart beat with them, and this instant was no different (even if his heart beats were much quicker than normal). 

Their laughter still rang throughout his ears, or so he swore. Hazel eyes only widened as he realised what he said. Mind cursed tongue for showing true thoughts, betraying him. What was wrong with him? Venia was his friend. He couldn’t, shouldn’t, have feelings towards them besides platonic ones.

All he could do was stare wide-eyed in silence. Mouth moved, but words didn’t come out. Not for a while. Things like this took time. It was needless to say it was a shock. Yet the words that came out were not the right ones. Were they ever, though?

Clearing his throat didn’t help, much to his dismay. Clutching the island that was behind him, he looked down at them, eyelashes fluttering as he blinked, finding mouth too dry for comfort. It was too late now - he couldn’t back out.

Robert looks up the third time they press for an answer  ---  no sooner. After another moment’s hesitation and a one-shouldered shrug, he speaks.

         “I don’t know what you want me to say.”

It goes without saying that I clearly have favouritism towards OC’s. That much is obvious if you look at the type of people I role-play with. But there is a certain skill in being able to make a character feel so real and authentic; that you second guess yourself when you first read up on them. This little shout out goes to the people who’ve made me ask the question: wait is this a canon character or an OC?

The first time I stumbled upon your blogs, I can say with honesty that I believed they had their own canon material behind them. I thought perhaps they were characters from a book series (and ithily’s I actually googles Koli to see if there was a new book to add to my book list). each and every one of you has created a character that has stayed with me, and that I will forever look at with a sense of awe and wonder because they are simply that beautiful.
