Writing Task: BDRP Questionnaire

Trigger Warnings: None

Extra Note: This got very long haha

Your Name: Kiara :DD

Characters:

Sally Finkelstein, Minnie Muysken, Georgette Midler, Isabel Flores

Pick one of your characters and talk about their growth (we recommend choosing an older character, but it’s up to you!) What about their story has surprised you? What are you proud of? How have they changed from their original inception to now?

Georgette

First off, let me preface by saying that when Georgette’s muse originally formed in my head and I went for her, I absolutely did not envision her dying, coming back to life undead, and becoming a magick like at all. In fact, when I picked her up I loved the fact that she was a mundus and all my intentions were to keep her as such. Yeah... she’s not so much now but... surprise!

Georgette has done a total 360 change from what I originally had formed for her in my head, but it like also really helped out too that she did lol. (Thanks MK!!) I knew from the start that the MAIN goal I wanted for Georgette was to create a new form of stability for her. I wanted her to grow out of her old glamorous and ritzy life and into a life where fame and fortune really aren’t the most important aspects.

I wanted her to end up gaining a more humble perspective of life, almost just completely rewire her and I got to end up doing this twice for her lmao.

Just from Georgette needing to learn how to puzzle/rewire herself into this new life when she was forced to move to Swynlake. Learning how to live smaller and with a publically trashed and slandered reputation, learning to cook (she still sucks at it), live on her own, process through living with her rape trauma and just getting help with her alcoholism. I was able to meet that goal simply through all of that because Georgette grew and learned so much. She got into therapy, accepted help, gained real friends, learned how to process through her trauma, gained an appreciation for the simpler things in life and all through that journey of simply trying to tape up all that had shattered in her life.

Then she died... and came back to life.

So it was now going through this journey with her again where Georgette had to learn how to rewire herself and pick up the pieces to now make them fit into this new life of hers. It was going through all the emotional baggage of processing this new reset button for her, learning her new powers, coping through having died under a tree, surviving her rape trial, accepting that she no longer had such needs as hunger or sleep like normal humans, etc.

I’m proud of where she ended up going and how strong she has become. She hasn’t given up and keeps working through each hurdle. She has really changed from the shallow, spoiled brat she was in the beginning like I’m a proud mom lol.

Pick another character and talk a little about where you WANT them to go. What are your plans for them going into the new year?

Isabel

I want Isa to like completely spread open her wings for this new coming year!!! She is officially EIGHTEEN, and I want her to gain independence outside of her family. I want her to have independence outside of the royal appearance and duties of a princess, and outside of the daily knife over her head that is a crazy sorceress out to kill her.

Isa just wants to live life in where she doesn’t feel caged in.

I want her to be reckless lmao. Go to a party and get straight up trashed, travel more outside of Swynlake, move out, have sex, go to the club, go go-karting, sing karaoke with friends drunk or sober, set up an instagram account, survive an all-nighter, tipi a house, watch a Broadway play, get a tattoo because why the fuck not?!?

Feel life! I want Isa to feel life. Almost all of Isa’s life has been under the microscope of bodyguards or her family that I want her to learn how to be out on her own. I want her to make stupid mistakes, she’ll learn to go through them and get to grow because of them. Isa loves to learn, this will be great for her!!

And yes, she has already done a lot, but under the supervision of someone else, like Isa doesn’t know how it feels to be completely free and she wants a taste of it. I want a taste of it for her.

Pick a thread or a plot that you’re proud of and talk about why you loved it.

Minnie

I actually really liked my plot in where I got Minnie attacked at night by a patient that has already hurt her before. It makes me sound awful, but I liked it because it allowed Minnie to pull herself away from the hospital. Minnie wraps so much of her identity around the hospital. Her father used to work there as a surgeon, she used to spend so much time with her father there when she was little, she would volunteer at the hospital and it has been where she was working since she graduated from Pride U.

I honestly wanted to see if Minnie could see herself outside of the hospital. It was a journey of Minnie processing through the trauma, being able to simply feel safe again, and realizing that for her mental health she will have to step back some from a job and a place she loves dearly.

Minnie is still healing and will still ask for company whenever she needs to go out at night because she hasn’t been able to feel entirely safe as of yet. She is still working at the hospital but no longer coded/full time and now she has actually become the school nurse for Swynlake General. She loves the job and if it hadn’t been for the attack she honestly would’ve never been opened to even trying for that opportunity.

In terms of your own writing, identify 1-3 strengths and talk about why you think it’s one of your strengths.

Voice: Not to so much conversational voice as that’s actually something I want to improve in, but the mental voice. It is so easy for me to get into the thought processes involved with my characters. I always speak of their emotions and how they are thinking through their current situation. I love doing that because, for me, it explains the reasoning for all that my characters do what they do or end up doing. I just end up forgetting about everything else that should also be involved beyond thought and emotion lol.

Starters: This is a weird strength lol but I absolutely have no problems writing starters. It’s easy for me to create a situation where I need two people to end up engaging with one another. It’s fun for me to think of different ways, especially since Swynlake is a magical town so ideas really are limitless!! I just suck at creating titles that is definitely not my forte!

In terms of your own writing, identify 1-3 areas of improvement.

Conversation: I’m trying to be very cautious about this and I’m hoping that I have been improving but just not answering everything that is being spoken in a thread. I want to improve in knowing which things should be answered and what shouldn’t because it messes with the continuity of the thread. Hopefully, I have gotten better but it’s one of the main things I have been trying to pay hard attention to when writing my replies.

Body Placement/Situational Awareness: I’m also hoping to improve in being constantly aware of where my characters are and what they are doing. I lack describing simple actions with my characters like continuing to drink a tea they have in hand, remembering if they were holding something so as to know they need to put that something down if they want their hand, remembering if my girls hair is up or down because then she can’t tuck hair behind her ear if it’s up, etc. It gets hard for me sometimes because it’s a lot I have to keep track of.

Actions: I think I stink at writing actions where my characters are concerned. I forget that they are supposed to do more than think and talk. I suck at properly engaging them at times and I have to constantly remind myself like oh this is a date: hold hands, kiss, hug, lean in, stuff like that. They are in a hospital remember to engage with the machines, the diagnosis, doctors, and nurses etc.

Pick one of your plots, or even just a character, and come up with a list of 3-5 “mentor texts” where you can look for inspiration or research, then write a short (2-4 sentences) why you picked those texts.

Sally

Edgar Allen Poe’s Ligeia and Morella: I use these two short stories from Edgar Allen Poe a lot when it comes to inspirations for Sally. For Morella, I took the aspects of Sally looking so identical to her mother as she grew older and her father being obsessed with her because of that straight out of that text. Morella dying during the birth of her child, I stole that too for Sally’s back story involving her own mother. WIth Ligeia I love Edgar’s description of the main woman in the story, Ligeia and I often find myself going back to read it because I want Sally to resemble that description since that’s how I view her in my head.

Weather Websites: Lmao. I don’t know if this counts as a text per say, but legit I am constantly looking up websites that give me different types of weather and their descriptions. I use them because Sally empathic magic transcribes itself through a type of weather. Whenever she feels an emotion from someone it comes to her like the feeling of weather: snow, hale, warmth, fog, rain etc. depending on what emotion it is whether anger, sadness, confusion, happiness etc.

Edith Hamilton’s Mythology/Charmed: I know charmed is not a text lol but it needs to be mentioned because I used that show (particularly Phoebe) as an inspiration for Sally’s vision magic. Sally’s visions are constantly evolving and changing mainly due to the long time it has taken Sally to control it so it took a form of its own when it had the upper hand. That form I stole from Phoebe in how touch was needed for a vision to form and the aspect of Sally feeling all the emotions involved with it. Then, Mythology was a book I had to read as a requirement in my Freshmen year of high school. I use that text for references to the seers and oracles in Greek Mythology which is where I get my inspiration for how Sally’s visions are appearing now.

And now, a wishlist! Jot down a few themes or stories or genres etc that you want to maybe pursue in the upcoming year!

A forbidden romance, a bi-wakening!!!, any magic based plots because I love being able to dive into the magic of my magick babiess, family drama, paranormal thingss and medical plots because I can’t help myself it is who I amm haha.

Sally: Continue to evolve her magic because there is a specific point I want her aside from ya know that having complete control point, so if anyone needs anything seen you know who to hit upp. Open up the store she wants tor tailoring!!! I need to stop being a lazy fuck with that :/. Get her into a relationship. I have had Sally for likeee 3/4 years now and she has just been a lonely spirit. I don’t want her to be a lonely spirit all her liffeee.

Minnie: Hmmm not sure tbh aside from like medical plots!!! I love those gimmie gimmie, Minnie is an awesome nurse :DD

Georgette: Get her through a second trial where hopefully her rapist lands in jail. More socialite things because like she is a famously known socialite and I be forgetting that often. Magic stuff because she is now a magick herselff.

Isabel: She is going to be living up her eighteenth year of life. I am hoping it will be Princess Gone Wild this 2020 lmao. Get Isa to simply live it uppp.

#bdrptask #this really did get so longg #that like I didn't do the optional question bc of that xD

A/N: Just a quick idea I had and I thought it was pretty funny lol hope you like it!

Warnings: none just a butt load of fluff.

Pairings: Klaus x reader with some other family member friendships thrown in.

Summary: What happens when Klaus gets cursed with a spell that makes him do really embarrassing things any time he sees the reader?

Title: Macarena

It had been a long day… you had gone shopping with Rebekah (for five hours), stopped Kol from doing something stupid (again), watched Hope while Haley went and checked on something with her pack (honestly though, that was the easiest part of your day because Hope is an angel.) And then somehow managed to make time to help Marcel with his new nightwalkers… you had just made it home and all you could think about was your loving boyfriend Klaus and a long lazy night watching your favourite T.V. show.

You walked in the mansion and called out, “Klaus… where are you? I need about two gallons of ice cream, two packs of Barq’s Root Beer and the latest season of Shameless right now or I swear I’m gonna scream.” you trailed off as you walked into his atelier and saw him standing there looking like he was trying to hold in a laugh, “Klaus what’s up with you?” was what you meant to say all that came out was, “Klaus” before he started to do something VERY UnKlaus like…

He started doing the Macarena.

Part of you wanted to laugh so bad but the other part that was genuinely concerned about why the usually stoic Big, Bad Hybrid was dancing along to the Macarena with no music like there was no tomorrow won out in the end. “Elijah! What the fuck is wrong with my boyfriend?” you screamed as you went to look for the original determined to get answers.

Others were afraid of them with good reason… But today you had dealt with a shopaholic Bex, a more dangerous than usual Kol and not one not two but FOUR hungry new nightwalkers. And all while being a measly little witch.

You finally found him sitting in the library reading one of your favourite Edgar Allan Poe poetry books. “Okay what the hell happened today that caused my adorably terrifying boyfriend to randomly dance to the Macarena with no music like it’s his jam? I didn’t even know he knew the Macarena! Like seriously? When did he learn that!?!? And why will he do that but not dance with me to Bea Miller? I swear though if he starts doing the chicken dance I’m gonna pass out from laughing even if I am concerned about why the hell he’s doing this. Also what did you two do today?” you rambled on while Elijah had a perplexed look on his face.

He shut the book as you finished. “From what I gather Klaus has randomly decided to dance to the Macarena and you are understandably concerned for his mental facilities… I haven’t the slightest idea where he learned that godawful excuse for a dance. And you’ll have to ask Klaus why he won’t dance to that with you… as for what he did today, I have no idea what Klaus did today as I was out all day with Haley helping her with a problem with the werewolves. Though now that I have been made aware of the situation I am willing to assist you in finding the solution.” He finished.

“Oh.” you lost your momentum for a second there at his perfect reaction to your crazy rambling. “well then let’s go I guess.” You said going back to the room where you had left Klaus. Elijah was quick to follow. Whatever was going on with Klaus you felt calmer knowing that Elijah was here to help you figure it out. “I left him in here. I don’t even wanna know if he’s still dancing that stupid dance. So I’m just gonna wait out here while you talk to him.”

It had been almost an hour since Elijah went inside to talk to Klaus and you hadn’t heard anything but quiet murmurs letting you know they were still in there. You were starting to get anxious when suddenly you saw Kol walking in the front door. Knowing that he would never let Klaus live this down you did the first thing that came to your mind. Time to distract the original vampire. “Hey Kol! I was just looking for you!” God… this wasn’t gonna end well. “What for Y/N? You already ruined my fun this morning here to ruin it again tonight?” he said with that famous Mikaelson Smirk. “Depends, what’s your definition of fun tonight?” you sassed back raising an eyebrow. “Oh nothing big…” he said with that glint in his eyes that made you know something was up. “just figuring out what you’re hiding from me.”

You froze.

“Nothing dumbass. Just making sure you don’t start something that I have to clean up is all I’m doing. I’ve had a long day.” You said trying to distract him from the room where Klaus and Elijah talked. Stepping to the side so that the door was no longer in his sightlines you said, “if you don’t mind I’m going to go play some Halo now. I feel like shooting something.” You knew he heard the silent challenge you had issued. And for a second you thought it had worked…

“Well then I guess you won’t mind me going to see Nik and ask him why you’re being so weird.” He said as he sprinted to the doors of Klaus’s atelier. He threw them open before you could stop him. “Kol no!” you said running up behind him. And exactly as expected… Klaus did something stupid.

“AAAANNNNDDDD IIIIIIIII WILL ALWAAAYS LLLOOOVVVEEE YOOOOOUU! OOOOOHHHH…. WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOOOOOU!” He began but that is all he got out before Elijah clamped his hand on his mouth. “Niklaus I suggest you refrain from continuing as none of us wish to hear you ruin the classic Whitney Houston song.” You had tears leaking from your eyes as you were laughing so hard. Kol was on the floor looking like he was going to have an aneurysm.

“Elijah did you figure anything out before you were so rudely interrupted?” you managed to get out before laughing again. “Yes I was. Klaus has informed me that this is the work of a witch. She was angered because our dear brother here managed to “corrupt” her fellow sister. Her fellow sister being you” Your mood instantaneously changed. “So that Bitch thought that she could mess with the man I love in any way? They never cared for me before now. But now that my power aids the enemy?” the anger on your face was clear. “Give me one second guys… I have something I have to take care of… alone.” you said as you stormed out the power radiating off you in waves.

Klaus spoke normally for the first time that night. “I fear for the lives of anyone who messes with her tonight. And I believe we will have one less witch to worry about.” “I agree brother. On both counts. You couldn’t have chosen better. She is your perfect match.” Elijah said. “Thank you brother. Y/N is truly an amazing woman. But… I do believe she terrifies me.” Kol just nodded in agreement as he got up off the floor. Elijah however voiced his opinion.

“If there is anyone that does not have a healthy amount of fear for that woman when she is angered. I do not believe they have met her.”
