12. Do they agonize about where to put stickers, or slap them on anywhere?
57. How broken is their phone?
72. Have they ever tried a petās food, just to see if itās really that good?
82. How annoyed do they get when other people mess up how things are organized (or āorganizedā) in their space?
86. What subject do they know a lot about that they assume everyone else also knows about?
Yay, thanks for the questions!
12. I think ze would be the kind of person to agonise about sticker placement, lol. I'd like to say ze'd be chill about it but I'm afraid that's just not the case xD
57. Malachai's phone is probably in pretty good condition. I can see it having a cracked screen protector, because whose screen protector isn't cracked? But the phone itself would be fine.
72. Lmao! Since Malachai loves food and cooking so much, I can actually see zer getting curious about what's so different about animal food. But, not sure if ze would've actually worked up the ambition to try it unless zer childhood best friend dared zer. If that was the case, it's on!
82. Growing up in an inn, Malachai long ago accepted that anything of zers left in a common area in the home is fair game for tidying by adults. But I think maybe because of that, ze sees zer own room as more sacred and gets a bit twitchy if it's messed up, even by someone well-meaning. And though ze is flexible about kitchen layouts because ze's also used to working in communal kitchens, if ze were running zer own kitchen, oooooh you better put that knife back where it came from or so help me -
86. I think Malachai would be surprised to find out that some people know literally nothing about the other cultures surrounding them. Even racist people must have SOME idea about how the elves and dwarves and halflings and whatnot around them live, right? We all know there are wood elves in these woods and we want to know something about the world around us, right???

1. What does your character typically keep in their pockets?
28. Why do they keep secrets?
64. What is one thing they want each party member to know?
ššš
Malachai has. So much crap in zer bag. But in zer pockets specifically I'd say it's mostly normal stuff. A small hand mirror, a signal whistle, and situationally, a tinderbox, some playing cards, or zer whistlecane (which is a small musical instrument). The spice pouch and purse are possibly on a belt but if not they can be in zer pockets too lol.
28. Malachai keeps secrets for two reasons. The first is that ze doesn't know who to trust right now. The only person ze could conceive of being vulnerable in front of is Vienna. But there are still plenty of things ze would not tell her for the simple reason that ze can't talk about certain things. You may have noticed Malachai isn't great with words. Well, the words just wouldn't come out. If really pushed to talk about certain things, the best Malachai could do would be a telepathic flash of fractured sight, or of overwhelming, brutal emotion.
64. Oh boy.
Vienna: I don't want to fall to pieces/I just want to cry in front of you
Julian: it's tough to spend every day with someone who seemingly has no interest in knowing anything more than your name
Vaal: how is it that we both said our piece and yet less than a day later i know even less where i stand with you than i did before?
Warden: hi! let's be friends. but please be more wary of shar ohmygod
Goose: there is one specific town i would like for you to please never go to and i /would/ kill over this
Wtf is MAIN for the wip thing ššš tell me all about it!!
So that was the original document from when I thought that fic was going to be a oneshot, lol. Then after I started writing, I began hopping around non-linearly and had to create all those other documents to mark scenes I was sure of the location of. "MAIN" is around 8.5K. The others are 8.5, 3.6, and 3.6 respectively. There are maybe one or two thousand cut words as well. That's what "Darling CPR" is. You know, they say to kill your darlings. I keep mine on life support in case I decide I want them back XD
Normally I don't write so non-linearly, but sometimes stories just come to you in weird ways.
RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then you post a snippet or tell them something about it!

I don't have that many wips because I tend to finish fics immediately after starting them. However, I do have these:
love you. pretty boy
(this is for The Maze Runner. It's a parrot!Newt AU)
Be the change you want to see in the world AU
(this is Destiel, basically a smut oneshot)
Maladaptive Alien AU
(this is Captain America, but I'm probably not gonna finish it)
I also have a metric fuckton of plot bunnies, but those are not wips - they're just me writing down ideas so I don't forget them. But if you want, you can send me one of my fandoms and ask for a random plot bunny from it, and I'll see if I have one.
Tagging: @riotbrrrd @sirladysketch @glittercracker @pigeonsimba aaaand anyone else who wants to do this!
UwU Of course (also I totally didnāt get half way through writing this and get distracted)
1. Muragh is literate in a bit of the local language of wherever her garrison was stationed, and can read and write fluently in Imperial Common, Nord, and Orsimer and Giant runes. Whether or not she can do those things well depends on who you ask. Anything she writes is going to be scrawled with charcoal or other blunt writing tools (and her handwriting is definitely a scrawl). If someone were to hand her a quill and ink pot, she'd just make a mess and snap a lot of nibs.
Convoluted philosophy and academic heavy texts are largely beyond her, and her preferred form of literary entertainment would be the tamrielic equivalent of pulp novels and penny dreadfuls.
She never kept a journal, but before the events of the main story she had a traditional fringed orc saddle that she used to tally her days and important events (ie. one moonstone bead and three kid knots for clear skies and good health, six ram knots separated by a carved bone rune and unpolished jasper for death, forge knots framing iron, copper and steel beads and bone charm for learning something new, malachite and promise knots for when her crush thanked her for a new set of bracers etc.). Reading it would honestly be pretty sad because of how monotonous and lonely the logs are.
Unfortunately, that was lost when she was arrested at the border due to a āmisunderstandingā.
2. Muragh's education was very...spotty. In a proper stronghold and as the chiefās daughter she would have been taught the fundamental basics for trade (reading, writing, arithmetic) and oral traditions by the hearthwife or an aunt in a similar position, and other important skills necessary for stronghold living by the spouse or master over that.
But Not In Narzulbur.
Wives had a tendency to die, and anyone else in charge of an important task would eventually be forced out by Yatul and Bolar. Anything she managed to pick up during the mass exodus of people over the years leading up to her own departure would have been through observation and without a formal context. Bolar and her father both took turns teaching her to read and weave whenever they had the time and with books written in Imperial Common (bcs thatās what would be mass printed and available), but with a large stronghold that was hemorrhaging people on the regular, finding that time was difficult. She mostly had the education that a lower cousin would have have.
Animal husbandry, orcish weaving and crafting were things that she was thrown into by accompanying whichever adult happened to be in charge of that particular task (she also picked up a bit of haggling during trade outings with their nord and giant neighbors). And when they left, sometimes it would be up to her to take the task on without question--knowing that if she ever made a mistake it would take the entire stronghold down with her. (sheās got a Lot of anxieties around providing and being Independent bcs of that)
Smithing was something that would have also fallen by the way side if she hadn't had a natural talent for it. The last stronghold smith (not her father's wife, but cousin to her birth mother-- the one who would have been the forgewife) taught her as much as she could before leaving when Muragh was nine. Her father picked up where she left off to the best of his ability, but, like in many other areas, he was lacking.
3. Muragh picked up whittling, carving and weaving in the stronghold and the Legion, and after meeting Trahtus, falling ass over teakettle for him, throws herself into jewelry crafting when he tells her about Altmer engagement necklaces.
17. Muragh has fond memories of traditional meals from her childhood (Bolar was a good cook, and an auntie whose name and face Muragh canāt remember made the best rice and lamb wraps sheād ever eaten) and spent most of her military paycheck on crafting materials and good food that wasnāt boiled to death in a pot by their camp cook whenever she was on leave. After some lean years during her childhood and while on the road with the army, she refuses to be hungry if she can help it.
She wouldnāt call herself a good cook, but she isnāt bad at it and doesnāt really experiment all that much with recipes until she moves in with Trahtus, and then it opens up an entirely new world of culinary experiences because he āreally really wants to master traditional orcish meals :3ā³ and canāt exactly tell the difference between ingredients when he goes out shopping.
20. While on the road Muragh has exactly one outfit and one set of armor, because thatās what she considers practical. The outfit is for casual everyday wear around a hold when she doesnāt want to draw attention from guards as a fully armored orc and consists of a white peasant tunic, comfortable gambeson pants, leather girdle, low heeled boots and gloves. (She literally just dresses like that one Geralt look from The Witcher 3)
21. Muragh isnāt exactly picky when it comes to fashion aesthetics and is willing to hold on to an article of clothing until it literally falls apart. Armor is similar, in that she wonāt throw something out if she could just fix it or improve it, but she also will make something entirely out of scratch if she has the necessary raw materials and the time. Because she knows that whatever she makes with her own two Malacath blessed hands will be better than store bought trash or bandit camp thrift.
Gear is something she takes very seriously as well because packing appropriately can be the difference between life and death. It comes into conflict with her insistence on packing lightly (because when you live largely on the road, where are you going to store that shit? on your back) but she eventually manages to create a single, compact versatile travel kit that works in multiple situations.
24. Muragh probably rates around the medium difficulty tier of being pickpocketed, especially in a crowd, which is why she likes to avoid dense crowds. She does keep all of her valuables tucked into her cleavage or her boot, and has very fast, grabby hands ready to crush anything brushing against her for too long.

spop and one that one anime you've been complaining about recently
Apologies in advanced to my distinguished mutuals who hate seeing either of these fandoms on their dashes, but Iām not tagging shit in the event it winds up in the main fandom tag <3
Ok so:
Spop (lbr a lot of our answers are gonna be the same lmaO)
The character I first fell in love with: Adora, tbh. Iām a sucker for that kind of protagonist and I love watching the personal growth and journey of an abused character w/ Oldest Sibling/Daughter syndrome
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Scorpia. I liked her when she first showed up but I never thought that Iād get super invested in her growth and be actively yelling at the screen when the writers decided to take a nice steaming dump on her character development in s5.
The character everyone else loves that I donāt: Catra
The character I love that everyone else hates: Hordak, the fandom can pry the bat dilf from my cold dead hands
The character I used to love but donāt any longer: Entrapta. I still like her! But my love has cooled for a variety of largely fandom related reasons.
The character I would totally smooch: Horde Prime. Iām a simple ho who likes evil men that are dumb and dress slutty.
The character Iād want to be like: Huntara. Sheās, loyal, got her shit together and is super tall and buff. Please itās all I want.
The character Iād slap: Itād be faster to ask who I wouldnāt slap, but Iām gonna change it up and say Mermista.
A pairing that I love: Entrapdak, uwu
A pairing that I donāt: Anything w/ Catra tbh, but mainly Catradora.

That One Anime Iāve Been Complaining About Recently (aka BNHA)
The character I first fell in love with: Izuku!!! Again, I am a sucker for this kind of protagonist bcs I am a deeply cynical and emotionally traumatized individual who wants to see goodness and sunshine individuals thrive and make the world a better place. (Yes, I also like the reverse, I am capable of nuance thank you very much). Heās (Martin Bright voice) my boy!!! The best boy. Best of all boys.
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Probably Iida? He was such a fussy anal retentive nerd who was one of many people who were just. Fucking rude to Izuku for no reason (bcs thatās how the universe in this story works). But now?? Another good boy. Best boy. Tries his hardest, is the actual Type A perfectionist that the story should be including in the main focus as opposed to......that other one.
The character everyone else loves that I donāt: That Other One. (why is he part of the main trio, WHY?????? IIDA WAS RIGHT. FUCKING. THERE!!!!!)
The character I love that everyone else hates: Izuku. Rarely have I ever encountered a fandom that just fucking HATES the main character like the bnha fandom does.
The character I used to love but donāt any longer: Kirishima. Another good sunshine boy, but honestly after a certain point I wanted to tear my hair out because his entire character and backstory are contradictory to his relationship w/ That Other One and I have gotten to the point where I just skip around chapters and segments featuring him bcs heās always w/ That Other One or talking about him and Iām just. So tires.
The character I would totally smooch: Itād be faster to say who I wouldnāt but for the sake of time, I would kiss Shigaraki on his horrible crusty contact dermatitis forehead (and possibly his lips UwU šš )
The character Iād want to be like: Mirio is another Best Boy who has his shit together and is a bastion of positivity (I could stand to be more like that. He is also Jacked As Fuck)
The character Iād slap: Who Wouldnāt I Slap??? Iām gonna switch it up tho and say Endeavor. We donāt have time or energy for abusive fathers on this blog (no matter how thicc they are). I would bury this man in ice for 1 million years and it would still be too short.
A pairing that I love: TodoDeku owns my entire heart and soul, this is the rivals to friends to lovers ship that the fandom seems convinced That Other Ship is (which just proves they have 1) no taste and 2) no critical literary analysis)
A pairing that I donāt: Izuku and his childhood bully
I had been meaning to make fanart for "Where One Fell" as I continue to read it, but I learned it was @revasnaslan 's birthday, so I put this together as a gift too!
Thanks for your she-ra AU fics, I've been really enjoying them. I've also liked reading your she-ra commentary/crit too, I just like checking out detailed and thoughtful analysis, as well as the funnier posts. You've really added to my she-ra fandom experience--an AU focusing on a familial relationship between AU!Hordak/Hec-Tor and AU!Horde Prime/Anillis? getting a literal baby!Hordak as he grows up? yes please, pretty much what I wanted!!!--and I'm glad for that, especially during this time. Tbh you and other members and fanworks in parts of the she-ra fandom are inspiring my own ideas for she-ra AUs that I'm starting to brainstorm.
Sorry if this is a bit much for like--I think we've only spoken a little in the comments of "Where One Fell" before, but again I saw it was your bday and I had been meaning to sketch fanart for your fic and I thought I'd offer this for your bday celebrations.
Anyway, I hope you had a good birthday, and that you enjoy this art! It's inspired by the first chapter of "Where One Fell" where baby Hec-Tor's admiring the starlight glinting off Anillis's claws and Anillis is just watching his baby brother. I ended up taking some artistic liberties, like tweaking some body language and realizing "wait probably sketch a little something for the bat boys' sleepwear--ooh Anillis's bed hair!" (Also thanks @noxstar7 for your "Where One Fell" art, they look great and I used them for some reference too.)
