thank you for asking, i love to yap!! okay, so first of all, i'm doing what i did with my dib and mashing together the different mediums, so i'm smooshing together the live action and the anime and maybe the manga if i end up buying it - all that to say, i'm using the live action ages, so takemichi travels back 10 years instead of 12, so they're all two years older than the manga/anime (16/17 instead of 14/15).

first of all, seika chantana thanawat who is a major rehaul of renna. mainly a draken ship, but she has a Thing™ going on with hanma. she's extremely quiet, not talking much at all as a result of the abuse she's been subjected to by her mother. it was her father's choice to move to japan early in his marriage and her mother followed because she was so blindly in love with him; her mother hadn't originally wanted children but had seika because her husband wanted kids. seika's dad died when seika was eight, leaving her mother with a child she hadn't wanted and stuck in a country she hadn't wanted to live in but now couldn't afford to leave. her mother turned to alcohol and eventually the indifference she felt for seika became disdain became physical abuse when seika was ~10. seika took to staying away from home when she could to avoid her mother. at night, she typically wanders around the city or finds something to do, like buying snacks from convenience stores, going to internet cafes/karaoke bars, or just finding somewhere she can sit alone. she meets the main quintet of the toman gang at the muashi shrine when she's 12. they're initially a little abrasive because they view her as 'imposing on their space', but after running into her a few more times, they start to warm up to her. draken finds out about the abuse and ends up becoming quite protective of her. seika meets hanma after the august 3rd fight in september, not knowing about his connection to the now-disbanded moebius. she steps in to pay for his late-night-snacks (which he usually would've just stolen but he's trying to stay on the owner's good side because they've always got the best stuff). she thinks nothing of it, just wanting him to get out of the way so she could pay for her own stuff, but he recognises her from the 8/3 fight. he plans to get close to her to try and bleed information about toman, but later gets kind of 'attached'. she and emma don't really get along. emma has a tad bit of jealousy towards her because of the attention she gets from draken and considers her a 'rival'. seika just ignores it. they get along better in a group setting, but one-on-one, they're awkward to say the least. quick facts: all of her accessories are star-themed and usually silver. she loves sweets, especially lollipops, konpeito, and ice cream. she can play guitar. singing is the only time she's not borderline mute. she likes making paper stars. she has a lip piercing (labret, wears a ring), it was juria's idea.

juria baji, who is a much-less-major revamp of rumika. still a kazutora ship, it's mainly just a change of faceclaim. she's baji's year-younger sister. when they were younger, he frequently tried to pawn her off on emma because they were the same age. unfortunately, juri always wanted to do whatever her brother was doing. she was a huge crybaby as a little kid but (mostly) grew out of it in her teen years and became a bit of a hothead. kazutora's always had a bit of a soft spot for her, telling baji to take it easier on her, but baji insists he's 'being tricked' and that she's a 'brat'. when kazutora gets out of juvie, juri wants to see him but he gets caught up in valhalla and baji tells her to stay away. kazutora keeps an eye on her from a distance and she eventually catches him alone. her naivety kind of comes out here because she 'just wants everything to go back to how it was' but kazutora is too caught up in blaming mikey and wanting to kill him. after bloody halloween, she goes to see him in juvie with draken. after her brother's death and kazutora's getting sent back to juvie, juri starts to spiral out of control, acting out and frequently getting into trouble. she ends up getting close with chifuyu since he feels like he has to protect her in baji's stead. quick facts: she loves pink, every single shade. seika and juri do their hair together, juri is more skilled at the dyeing. she's a big fashion fan and likes to explore subcultures, her own style is very eccentric. she wants seika, emma, hina, and yuzuha to start a sukeban with her to rival toman but all decline (emma and hina don't fight, seika and yuzuha can fight but aren't interested).

A/N: My first thought was to do this Reverse Trope Writing Prompt for Cisco and Averey, but I felt like everyone thought it made sense that they were dating. So, I decided to go with The Artful Dodger. This was a plot point I had thinking for season 2, should it ever be made – or if I have to make it up myself. So, we’ll see how this idea goes!

The Artful Dodger: Just Don't Tell Me That | SneedxOC 

Authored by: Rhuben

Original Character: Molly Atwood

-

“You and Rainsford?”

Both Fanny and Belle asked the same question in response to Molly’s subtle announcement: Fanny with a high squeak of excitement that cut over Belle’s flat, disbelieving tone, which was just heard over the snap of the carrot she was snacking on.

Molly laughed quietly to herself.

Sometimes it was funny just how different the Fox sisters were. One who accepted her role in Port Victory’s society wholeheartedly, and the other whose wanted out since before she’s left the shores of London. One who loved love and one who didn’t understand it. At least for a while, she didn’t.

“No,” Belle said, emphasizing her word with another loud crunch-bite of a carrot. “No. I scarce believe what I am hearing. No. No!”

“Well, I suppose if it couldn’t be me,” Fanny commented, (ignoring Belle’s “Or me, thankfully”) clasping her fingers together, a broad grin crossing her face, “there’s no better choice. This is so exciting, isn’t it, Belle?”

“Bizarre,” Belle said over top her sister. “This is not exciting. This is…this is absurd is what it is.” She shook her head back and forth, sprigs of her honey-blonde hair swinging from side to side. “You’ve not actually fallen for Rainsford Sneed. There’s no way. No way.” Her eyebrows lifted when Molly merely pressed her lips together. “Molly?”

“Lady Belle you are quite intelligent,” Molly commented, removing flour from her fingers with a damp rag. She rest her palms on the table, leaning towards her friend. “You understand those medical texts. I don’t suppose those are easier to understand than this?” Belle sniffed. “Yes, I have, indeed fallen for Rainsford Sneed.”

Fanny twisted her mouth to the side, a sparkle coming to her eye. “I think our Molly may have fancied him for a while, Belle,” she said. “And I suppose not just the idea of him.”

“Of course not just the idea of him,” Molly replied, returning Fanny’s smile with one of her own.

“I think the heat in here may have done something you, Molly,” Belle said, dotting the air with her fingertip. “Because I can’t believe…Rainsford of all people.” She sighed. “Well, you’ve at least managed to say more to the man than announcing your love of soup. I suppose that’s a small point in your favor for the type of woman Sneed would want.”

Fanny’s lips made a buzzing sound as she let out a loud, long, sigh.

“Don’t listen to her,” Molly said, giving Belle an annoyed look. Molly had become friends with the Fox sisters since her employment in the Governor’s House upon her arrival in Port Victory. She and Belle were the same; wanting more from their lives than what society deemed to be the only acceptable roles for them.  And why not?”

“Because he’s arrogant—"

“Intelligent.”

“Old fashioned with medicine—"

“A skilled surgeon.”

“And only wants to advance in life.”

“Don’t we all?” Molly asked dryly. Belle opened and closed her mouth before falling silent, alternating between blinking rapidly and scoffing. “Fanny, you understand this, yes?”

“Oh, don’t ask her,” Belle said before Fanny could say a word. “He nearly had me killed!”

“And equally recognized that Jack Dawkins did, in fact, save your life and is the best surgeon in the colony,” Molly explained. “Which, might I add, won him over to the Governor and Lady Jane.”

“You do not want to be part of this,” Lady Belle said with a shake of her head, “these dinners where the men pat themselves on the back for existing, where we have no voice, where…where…”

“Where I get to spend time with my best friends on even footing for once?” Molly asked, looking around the kitchen. “Instead of being reminded how I’m only a house maid? And being treated as thus?” She knew Lady Jane wouldn’t be happy with either of her daughters interacting with the house servant. Molly’s job was to tend to the family and not be seen as much as possible. “Believe me, I am aware just how this would look to the colony. Which is why we haven’t told anyone.” She lifted a carrot and pointed it in Belle’s direction. “You, Lady Belle, are not the only woman in the colony that wants more in her life.” She emphasized her point with a loud snap of her own.

Belle gave Molly a smile that was half a smirk. A silent “Ok, I see your point.”

“Has he given you a ring?” Fanny asked, ignoring her sister.

“I suppose if he’s suddenly performed alchemy?” Belle asked with a laugh. “Has he learned how to turn nutmeg into gold?”

“Some of us like the smell of nutmeg, m’lady,” Molly said with a laugh of her own.

Thank you again for the prompt Leaf! I immediately knew who this would be for when I saw you send this in. I have had this idea in my head for a while, but never really how it would play out. I'm definitely keeping this for the future chapter when it happens in Golden Brown so thank you! Hope you enjoy!

the way I had to think this over for such a while bc I'm such an ameriemalakai shipper but also... malakai deserves a boyfriend who doesn't fucking suck!!! so let's do it;

Joshua Ortega has been all over the place. Born in the Philippines, he's lived in Hawaii, Singapore, Italy, France, and now, Switzerland. The international school is nothing new for Joshua, just another temporary place with temporary people, until his father's job demands yet another move across the continent. It's safe to say Joshua isn't much of a sentimental person — he's never been anywhere long enough to get sentimental about it.

He's already been at the international school for a semester when he meets Malakai Mitchell, bright eyed, bushy tailed, and in most ways the complete opposite of Joshua. Malakai is soft and romantic and so deeply forlorn about some ex girlfriend that you'd think he fell straight out of a tragic romance novel. All of the girls, of course, immediately fall in love with him. But, it's Joshua that gets the honors of being his mentor — a school appointed student that has to parent the new kid for a few weeks. lovely.

Though, Joshua should clarify that Malakai isn't the worst. He's a little too genuine for Joshua's liking, but certainly not a bad person.

...It also helps that he isn't bad to look at.

“Yo, June. What’s up?” Juno should have been startled by a person appearing suddenly outside her window in the middle of the night–but JJ had stopped startling her years ago. She doesn’t bother to glance up from her book as she replies, “yo, dude, shut up.” 

Her dad was home–passed out cold on the couch and snoring away like a buzz saw–but still home. Sound carried in this house, and JJ had a habit of running his mouth until they both got in trouble for it. 

JJ, apparently takes her response as an invitation. She hears the clatter of him clambering through her window, feels the bed frame rattle as he flopped onto the bottom bunk. He promptly starts pushing her mattress up with his feet through the wooden slats. Juno shuts her book with a definitive snap and leans over the side of the bunk bed, her hair falling in a messy unwashed curtain over her face. She hangs there, practically upside down like Peter Parker, as JJ flashes her a toothy grin. She narrows her eyes at him. She takes aim and tosses the book at him. It hits him squarely in the ribs, not hard enough to hurt or leave a bruise, but just hard enough to get him to knock it off. 

JJ tosses the book somewhere down by his feet–he still has his disgusting muddy shoes on–before he crosses his arms behind his head, making himself comfortable. Like a cat in a fucking sun beam.

Juno narrows her eyes at him, unfortunately free of anything physical she could throw at him. “You’re not even gonna ask?” JJ cracks an eye open, looking at her reproachfully. As if she was the one crashing into his room half past midnight. He shrugs before he begrudgingly mumbles, “can I crash here?”

“Pay up, J.”

She holds her hand out over the edge of the bunk bed, and he drops a small disk into her palm. It was a quarter–it must have been a nice quarter once, but now it was rusted over with grime and something vaguely sticky. She promptly drops it on the floor. 

“Try again.”

He grumbles a string of profanities as he digs through his pockets, fishing around even in the deepest depths of his cargo shorts pockets before he comes up with a handful of loose screws and a rubber band. He presents it to her with a melodramatic flouish. “Pick a card, any card, m'lady.”

Juno raises her eyebrows. “What are you, the Little Mermaid?” She picks up the rubber band and stretches it between her fingers. “Why do you have this?”

JJ doesn’t answer, instead he jingles the screws in his palm, like she’s a dog and he’s bribing her with treats. She rolls her eyes and gathers up the screws–they were junk, but she’d accepted less from him before. 

“Thank you.” She flops back onto her bed, before she tosses him another pillow over the edge of the bed. A round of sputtering follows. It must’ve hit him in the face. She snickers to herself before she adds, in a deadly serious tone. “If you snore I’m smothering you.”

JJ goes quiet–quieter than she thinks she’s ever ever experienced. She debates saying something–asking if he was okay–but that really wasn’t her style. The next minute seemed to drag out forever, and she rolls over in bed, preparing to go to sleep, when she hears JJ murmur. “Thanks, J.”

Well, I mean. Of course!! ^_^ Thank you, for asking.

Pomegranate - Which myth would they relate to most?

Amy is, at her heart, a tragic romantic.

The story of Orpheus and Eurydice . . . to love someone so dearly, that you would travel into purgatory to save them. Risking your own eternal soul for love.

She relates - because she likes to imagine . . . but true love, the soulmate love, the destined love . . . she doesn't actually believe it. Until she does.

Ruby - What do they consider most precious/valuable?

The people in her life.

Ames lost any real attachment to things some time ago. The most precious, irreplaceable things in her life are the people in it.

Rose - What gift would they most wish to receive from a lover?

. . . lol See above.

She has only a passing love for things - though time, affection, trust . . . those are the gifts she would most appreciate from a lover.

thank u hun <3

glance :: at first glance, what stands out most about your oc's appearance? what's their distinguishing feature?

there are a plethora of things that stand out in josana's physical appearance as she is very conventionally beautiful and holds the beauty standard among other noble ladies within the westerlands. for the sake of this ask, i'll only answer one (1) which are her strikingly emerald green eyes as they can captivate anyone's attention if she looked their way. they're alluring, mesmerizing, and even hypnotic, especially towards men ( woman are susceptible as well, but mainly men ). it's one of josana's many physical features that she uses to her advantage, whether it's for something major or not.

motion :: how does your oc move? how does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?

she moves very gracefully and proudly, like a proper lady of her status. she walks with her head held high, shoulders back, and hands clasped behind her back. her clothing can hinder her range of motion since her dresses and undergarments has lots of layers/fabric so they can be a bit heavy, but she's grown used to the added weight after so many years of wearing them. as for her flexibility and coordination, she's able to ride a horse ( my lil semi-horse girly ), but that's that extent of it. she's a piss-poor fighter which is an overstatement bc homegirl gets to stab one (1) guy and she doesn't even kill him, and she doesn't want to be one either as it's not her role nor duty as a noble lady.

formal :: what's your oc's formal look? do they like dressing up? do they have different looks for different occasions?

thank you! I'll choose my infamous mc Serena for this

roots: Is your OC's look inspired by any specific style of clothing or fashion trend? What are the roots and/or inspiration for their look? Yes, actually! Serena is heavily influenced by grunge style. Flannels in all possible colors literally filling up the closet.

bling: What jewelry does your OC wear? Does it have any meaning? She wears all sort of jewelry besides rings as she's just not a fan of them. Bracelets are jewelry that always stuck by her and you will rarely if ever see her without at least one.
