Mosasaurus!

Late Cretaceous. 83-66MYA.

They were one of the first mesozoic animals to be given a name, beating the first named dinosaur Megalosaurus by 60 years! (1764 for the first named Mosasaurus, 1824 for Megalosaurus, the first named Dinosaur)

Dire Wolf!

Pleistocene to Holocene. 125,000 to 9,500 years ago.

We now know their range extended into Eastern Asia! Before the discovery of a piece of mandible in Eastern China, we thought they only lived in North and South America.

OC Interview: Viridian

Thank you so much for the tag @gummybugg and sorry it took so long for me to get to it, but here I am! This has been in my drafts for soooooooo long so hopefully it lives up to your expectations haha!

This interview features Viridian, from my main wip The Shifting Tides!

I'll tag @hollyannewrites @hallwriteblr @airic-fenn @sparrowrising @tate-lin @lexiklecksi @charlies-storybook @lshark-cs @joswriting @thesorcerersapprentice @hippiewrites and @betweenthetimeandsound! And anyone else who wants to join in, just say I tagged you!

Question 1! Are you named after anyone?

Viridian shifts in his chair a little, seeming perfectly at ease with himself. A smile appears, pearly-white teeth showing in a not-too-friendly sort of way. Rather, he seems joyful at this question, all too eager to answer it.

"My ancestors, quite obviously." He waves a hand dismissively. "Lord Viridian the First. King Viridian the Second. And so on." His eyes suddenly narrowed, and he scoffed. "We don't really talk about Viridian the Third."

Question 2! When was the last time you cried?

As you move on to the next question, he frowns. It seems to catch him off guard, and he wets his lips in focus.

"I don't cry." He lies directly through his teeth. But something flashes behind his eyes... a memory, perhaps? Whatever it is, his hand flung upwards to gently rub at a scar on his wrist. What could it be?

Question 3! Do you have kids?

Your third question has him perking up again, and he drops his hands to smile.

"Not yet," he purrs. "Though I certainly would want some. Adopted, fostered, biological... I don't really care." His eyes turned slightly wistful and glassy, as though he's imagining that day. And who he may have kids with.

Question 4! Do you use sarcasm a lot?

His smile turns into a sneer.

"All the time."

Question 5! What's the first thing you notice about people?

This question makes him think, and he furrows his brows. You're almost worried he won't respond, but then his eyes snap back up.

"Their insecurities, honestly," he admits, almost sheepishly. "It's easy to tell when you look them in the eyes. And once you know what makes them tick, it's easy enough to pick them apart piece by piece."

Question 6! What's your eye color?

He reached up to stretch his eyelids, showing off his eyes. They're a deep emerald green with an almost bluish tint. There's almost... silver speckles like stars within them as well. Curious. He doesn't verbally respond.

Question 7! Scary movies or happy endings?

His sneer comes back, and he answers immediately.

"Scary. Obviously."

Question 8! Any special talents?

He doesn't hesitate before showing off on old scimitar.

"Swordplay. Simple enough, yeah?" He stretched out, crossing one leg over the other. "A good talent for a pirate king, no?"

Question 9! Where were you born?

His brows furrow again, but then he shrugs lackadasically. "No idea. T'was on a ship in the middle of the sea. S'what my father told me, anyway."

Question 10! What are your hobbies?

He points his sword at you, though not in a overly threatening way. Instead, his smile turns chilly and he looks unamused. "Next question."

Question 11! Do you have any pets?

His chilly demeanor is gone, and he easily shrugs. "I think I had a cat when I was younger, but I'm sure she ran away. I would have too with who my father was, heh."

Question 12! What sort of sports do you play?

"Never played any." His words are laced with a smile. "Unless you call running from royal authorities to be considered a sport."

Question 13! How tall are you?

Viridian stands up, and then does a little spin. He's clearly flexing his height over you, since he's quite a bit taller than most. "About this tall."

Question 14! Favorite subject in school?

"Never went to school." He shrugs. "Nothing formal, anyway. I had some tutors and was taught to read, but mostly on my own time. I liked reading about the history of poets." He frowns, realizing he must have revealed too much.

Question 15! Dream job?

At the last question, he looked as though he's breathing a sigh of relief. But he quickly covers it up with one of his arrogant smirks. Still, there's an air about him that seems tired. "Killing innocents, pillaging towns for silver, kidnapping nobles... take your pick."

His eyes give off his lies.

In the remote Buddhist monastery of Haeinsa is preserved the Tripitaka Koreana, the most complete corpus of Buddhist doctrinal texts in the world, dating from 1251.

Depends on which one! Typically I like to do a few years overall! I like to do 3-6 years overall just because of the types of stories I'm writing, and the stories require some time.

I have at least one wip that actually takes place over the course of two centuries, and follows an immortal main character! One of my other shorter wips takes place over the course of about 2 months I think?

Writers how long does your book take place over? From page one to The End how many days, months or years pass for the characters in your WIP. For me rn it’s four days

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Cyrille: If you took a shot for every time you made a bad decision, how drunk would you be? Alton: Maybe a bit tipsy? Lars: Drunk Eleanor: Wasted. Viridian: Dead.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Viridian: I have the sharpest memory here - name one time I forgot something! Kavuri: You left me, Saran, and Panthu in a Walmart parking lot at 3am a day ago. Viridian: I did that on purpose. Try again.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Saran, carrying a box: What would you say if-if I, hypothetically, came home with 7 kittens one day? Viridian: ... Viridian: What's in the box? Saran: What woul- Viridian: Saran, what's in the box. Saran: I think you know.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Viridian: I think we should kiss. Saran: And I think you should die but we don't always get what we want.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Viridian: All of your existences are confusing. The Squad: How so? Viridian: Your presence is annoying, but the thought of anything bad happening to any of you upsets me.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Saran: Would you slap Panthu- Viridian: Yes. Saran: I didn't even finish! Viridian: Sorry, continue. Saran: Would you slap Panthu for 10 dollars? Viridian: I would do it for free. Panthu: Rude...

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Saran: What are you in the mood for? Viridian: World domination. Saran: That's a bit ambitious. Viridian: You are my world. Saran: Aww... Viridian: Saran: Viridian: Saran: OH.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Saran: What’s the announcement, Kavuri? Kavuri: It’s a lecture. Panthu’s gonna tell us everything they know about sex. Viridian: It should be an enjoyable 60 seconds.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Panthu: Why is Viridian crying on the floor? Kavuri: He's drunk. Panthu: And? Kavuri: He saw a picture of Saran's spouse. Panthu: But he's Saran's spouse. Kavuri: I know.

Panthu: How do I ask someone out? Saran: Roses are red, violets are blue, guess what, my bed has room for two. Panthu: No! Kavuri: Twinkle twinkle little star, we can do it in a car. Panthu: Stop! Viridian: Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily I can make you scream. Panthu: I feel like the last one is verging dangerously into serial killer territory.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Viridian: *watching the squad's shenanigans with concern* Do you feel like this has gotten out of hand? Cyrille: I don't know. Feels normal enough for a group that's on 911's blocked callers list.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Cyrille, to Viridian: I'm leaving for the weekend, so I hid 100 dollars in your room for food. Clean your room, and you will find it.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Cyrille, answering the phone: Hello? Viridian: It’s Viridian. Cyrille: What did they do this time? Viridian: No, it’s me, Viridian. It’s actually me. Cyrille: What did you do this time?

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Naranti: So, Viridian and Saran. Naranti: According to this, you two are being accused of: Armed Robbery, Vandalism, Drug Abuse, Grand Theft Auto… Viridian: We had a bad day. Naranti: And… MURDER?! Saran: It was a pretty bad day…

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Viridian: What is the one thing I told you not to do? Saran: Burn the house down. Viridian: And what did you do? Saran: I made dinner. Viridian: Saran: Viridian: Saran: And burnt the house down.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

*At the police station* Alton: Hi, I’m here for Viridian. Police officer: Who’s Viridian? Alton: Ah, you must be new.
