i was tagged by @tabswrites to use this generator [link] to make some incorrect quotes for my characters, and i am immediately concerned lol

i do, however, have a lot of characters, and therefore ran this several times. so this will be below a cut <3

+ for this one i will tag @sarah-sandwich-writes @rickie-the-storyteller @lorenfinch @liv-is

horror writing asks pt. 2 ⚗️ - has your character ever been involved in mad science? how did they get involved with it? why are they doing it?

my dear friend fiasco (fiasco) is involved in, like, fantasy mad science. as a child he would concoct these elaborate rube goldberg-style plots and plans to steal things from street vendors and he was noticed by a university professor who was interested in the unregulated study of negative matter, a transdimensional substance that could be summoned into their world through doors (any closed shape) with enough focus. negative matter is malleable + can be controlled with concentration, but alive-- individual particles have their own sentience --so the study of negative matter is difficult. this professor, clover, thought that fiasco's ability to manipulate different elements without any training could be honed into masterful control of negative matter, and adopted fiasco and his friend dust so that he could teach them how to summon. without direction, though, fiasco is a little hellion, and he gets himself banished by using this education irresponsibly (to steal). he still uses it to steal in the present, though this time he's stealing relics from his childhood home-- the university, which has since shut down under mysterious circumstances --which have been appropriated by private collectors. he's largely uninterested in the study, more in the results, but he could be considered a sort of rogue lab assistant.

🐈‍⬛ - does your character have any familiars? are they beloved pets or just tools to be used? are they intelligent like humans? do they have their own powers?

horror writing asks pt. 2 💀 - is your character afraid of dying? if so, how far would they go to cheat death?

i'd say that a lot of my characters are afraid of death in that, like, sort of vague and dissociated way that most people are afraid of dying. like, a lot of them-- for all of the violence and everything they're dealing with --don't have a lot of experience actually considering their deaths when the stories begin. there are exceptions like raleigh (wolf's tooth), who i won't talk about because his whole deal isn't really relevant to the question, kirby (wolf's tooth), hazel + ramsey (devil dogs) who have had near-death experiences. hazel is actively afraid of dying and will do anything to avoid it-- this has to do with the deaths of his parents and his upbringing; he's got a fear of the afterlife --and ramsey is more afraid of The Dead. like, bodies; the idea that he could be empty like that.

other characters of mine are probably more like raleigh: tired and unafraid of death until they're literally about to die

🍿 - if your character had to be in a horror movie, what kind would it be?

would it be a cop-out to say creature feature? because i'm obsessed with them. i love weird things with vague or bullshit origin stories terrorizing people who don't understand them.

oh! i guess i should reblog the meme now huh. lmao

from the writeblr ask game

20. FIRE - What is the worst thing you've ever created?

sending me ONLY the hard ones. after determining by your own power that i was accepting ask meme questions.

ok so, in fiasco, the negative matter that the characters pull through dimensions to make objects and animals as if from nothing is, like. if they focus really hard they can control all of the components, but if the summoned object is left in their world long enough it gains its own sentience. so i guess i'd say the worst thing i've ever created is, like, the living sandwich

24. GREED - If you could steal a character from any other story, who would you take?
