i love this designer, so I'm only poking fun at them because I love them. If you've ever wanted to look like the resident evil umbrella logo:

You didn't specify a character so I have independently selected the best one for this cape. Also you're right this brand is sick. Quick somebody give me $580 for a weird gold mesh shirt

Without further ado:

[grapecaseschoices]

for the Valentine's amorous asks you posted yesterday - 2, 4 and 51. Any OC you want although I think the questions would be fun for your oldest age-wise OCs.

haha agewise is hard because it's like i have ocs who are 200 yrs old [and some more] but look like they're 20. i think my oldest normally aged oc might be ... either pierre or andy [i used to have much older ocs but i havent broke 40 in a minute. gotta change that].

2. Does your OC remember their first crush? Would they ever admit to it now?

Andy: Yes (ish). No.

Zaine: If he had anyone prior to her Lady, then he does not recall it. Would she admit that she might have cared for someone prior to his Lady? Hrm. Maybe. It really depended on the situation.

4. Is there someone your OC has met who they would find physically attractive, if only their personality were not so repulsive? (Or that they find attractive and really wish they didn’t…)

Andy and Zaine: What does personality have to do with anything? ROFLMAO. I think both of their reactions, Zaine's especially, would be mild irritation. Andy's probably more exasperation before moving on from it. Not to say the thought wouldn't occasionally circle back but he wouldn't fixate on it. I don't think he has anyone specific though. Zaine does and she makes it the person's problem -- but then she makes a lot of things that person's problem so /shrugs.

51. Does (or did) your OC enjoy “the chase” or being “chased”? Or do such things appear to them like silly games? Or even as an unequal and unhealthy basis for a relationship?

Andy: Prefers to be in charge of things. And he's not opposed to games. I think, in a sense, he prefers games solely. In that everyone knows that nothing will come of it. He's the chaser, always. That said, Andy's current move is pick up at a bar, f*ck, and move on. It's rather straightforward, but I'm sure there's verbal games. The verbal chase.

Zaine: If Zaine is chasing you, you're prey and he is hungry. ROFLMAO. The only being Zaine might seriously consider playing such games with is her Queen, and she can't.

#most of my muses are if ocs these days and ifs concept of 'old' is 27 roflmao. unless they're a supernatural character #anyway to for the ask <3 #honeylemonbutte #grapecase answers #ask: andy yasar #ask: zaine takzedh #i went with autumn grove andy #(i THINK pierre MIGHt be older than him but i don't feel like looking it up. but probs a year only) #most of the responses could work for twc andy tho -- pre: mason #lmao #as for zaine enjoy the tidbits of an oc i barely mention and will only continue to mention at minimum. yw

🛒 and ⛔?

Thank u honeylemonbutte for the meme ask thing ajhdjdhd

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your images? Themes, feels, scenes, color palettes, etc.

Kinda hard to answer since I can be pretty *everywhere* with my art. My inconsistent ass started to get it's head together only this year

But as of recent, the most common things i incorporate into my art (or would like to incorporate more) are; the color green, somber expressions, windswept hair and flowy clothes. And also very messy hair! U will not see me draw hair that isn't poking out or moving in some way.

(barring the right side bottom two because those are old, i just wanted to add them because pretty)

⛔ Do you have an image you started but scrapped?

Oh? Do u mean almost every other drawing I do? Jajdhjfjfjf But anyways, there's a lot. Like a lot over the years, an amalgamation of failures because I didn't have enough confidence in myself to finish them. Looking at it now , I probably still won't finish it, but I know I could probably do it now if I wanted to

Honestly, the first two were just unfortunate victims of my sad mood swings att, so I couldn't find the motivation to finish them

the bottom two were genuinely because I got too overwhelmed 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hi! Happy early birthday! I thought of some Q&A questions. 1. What things are there to do in Armington? What are the popular hangout spots besides the Orchard Bar? 2. It's midnight, what is the cast doing? (I hope they're sleeping! But, you know... maybe not) 3. RO reactions to being exhausted/injured after a mission and being medically assigned a couple of days off? Who is grumpy, who is excited? What do they do with their forced time off?

Thank you!!! Let's getting into these asks!!!

Well, there's the old-school drive-in movies! Armington is one of the few places still keeping one up and running, and it's actually pretty popular, even brings in some tourists who haven't ever seen a drive-in movie or haven't since they were young! Every weekend, they play black and white classics, too!

There's the coast some people like to hangout at. Lots of driftwood makes for great bonfire nights. The rocky parts of the shoreline are beautiful in the mornings and evenings.

There's always the Square vendor stalls. New little stalls pop up often, as well as people selling stuff for years. The town hall lets people rent out small tents, chairs, and folding tables for about $20/day.

There's also a lot of hiking trails through the surrounding forests, and a few camping spots. One that's particularly popular sits on one of the cliffs looking out over the ocean, and has a river right next to it that you can watch feed into the ocean itself. Lot's of fishing in Armington, too.

At midnight? Hmmm...

Freja is definitely asleep. Probably has been for a few hours.

Blake is still up, probably eating pizza or ramen with... god knows what else in it while binge-watching something. Fawn might be watching it with him.

Adontis might be reading or practicing a new hobby if it's an off-day, otherwise he's picking up the work for the day where Freja left off.

Iri is either in bed or about to head to bed.

Loche is still up, but will be heading to bed in the next hour or two. Loche is probably outside, enjoying the quiet night air by their lonesome.

Blake isn't complaining, other than he's sore as all hell. He'll gladly take the time off, though.

Loche is ambivalent. It doesn't really bother them to take time off to let a wound heal, but they're also not necessarily excited about it; it's just something that they have to do to be able to go back to their work and to heal their body. Having time to let things heal isn't something they're used to, however.

Freja absolutely hates it and absolutely loves it. She herself is not happy about it, but one little itty bitty part of her brain is because it means some reading time. She'll accept it and she won't complain, but she'll put up a very good front for the first day until the 'evil' side takes over and she instead reads like ten or so books lol.

Iri is not complaining! But Iri doesn't like having a lot of downtime. Makes their head a little too loud. And they feel like there's so much more they should be doing, even if healing is what they need to do first.

Adontis wouldn't mind it. It probably wouldn't last very long, either; there's very few things that can cause lasting damage to him at this point. He'd probably spend it writing a letter to his daughter.

Fawn doesn't like it at all. She doesn't like being wounded or weaker than normal. She's VERY grumpy and everyone knows better than to bother her in her room for the first day or two. She'll relax a little bit as things start to heal, but she's still tense until she's released to service again.

Thank you for the asks!!! <3

Thanks for hosting this event! I finally drew a lot of random ideas I had swirling around in my head for the longest. And the variety of prompts made me think about all the IFs I've read, and which word might suit different IFs.

Thank you for joining us! It was a great feeling to see so talented people on our notifications sharing their amazing art with everyone, and we are very happy for the variety of ifs that you all worked on. The if community is very lucky for its artists and writers!

Lore question? So we know that ??? knows how to mimic the resident ROs well enough, but they're having difficulty mimicking B. As of book 1, would ??? be able to mimic the MC in dreams?

Hi @honeylemonbutte!

👁 👁 (Oh, wow these give a very different type of energy than my usual ones; they're a little creepy.) This is a very interesting question!

So interesting that I'm going to have to give a non-answer since it will come up in the series in a few ways you all might not expect…

It's neat to consider how the ??? uses the MC's past, specifically their childhood home/graduation flowers/etc., to try and screw with them.

Consider even the options for the pictures in Chapter 3.

Sorry about the vague response! I love that you're curious about this, though there is a divide among readers as to who is in the Chapter 8 nightmare. I've seen more than few theories about what's going on.

Thank you for your ask and all of your support of TFS! 💚🥰

For KC:

23, 34, 36 and F! Please!

23. How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)?

KC is generally satisfied with what she's got- and if she's not, she'll vehemently insist that she is! If anything, she tends to get defiant about it and act like she really, really doesn't want whatever it is she doesn't have. We might see that in action ;)

34.  How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt?

As long as she's confident in the morality of her actions, she doesn't care what others think. If she's not confident? She'll try to reassure herself that whatever it was, it wasn't her fault.

36. Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap?

The latter. It's not that she's not interested, she's just got other things on her mind.

F. What do you feel when you think of your OC (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?

I like her a lot! She's not as much of a blorbo as the character who inspired her was, but it's nice to have a character who's actually chill and down to earth when you're surrounded by so many wild weirdos haha.

top 5 fall/autumn activities

I wish.

But let's see.

Crunching leaves.

Taking way too many pictures of the trees in my neighborhood/surrounding neighborhoods. They're the same 100 trees, every year. Alas, they're also pretty every year.

Watching Halloween movies on Halloween [or today because I fell asleep like an old lady yesterday.]

The only good thing a bout Thanksgiving [other than seeing fam] is the sweet potato pie with the marshmallows on top and the excuse to eat ham. Burn the holiday outside of those two things!!! [bc you can see fam any day technically.]

Hrm. For someone who loves autumn I don't have a lot of autumn activities.

Oh! Reblogging pictures of trees and pretty fall places and going I WISH I WAS THERE.

[beatrizamante]

First of all, I'd like to thank @renru @reesevernerlovebot @honeylemonbutte and Bee too (I believe I don't follow her ç.ç) for giving me the courage to start posting these. And @lacunafiction for thins wonderful story omg, I love her book.

_Fallen Stars

There were books sprawled all over the floor. Astronomy, physics, star charting ones. Papers and journals filled with equations that were almost impossible to read, covering up huge constellation maps made by hand. Doctor Yu used to joke that you'd write even on the walls of the lab, given the chance. 

Well, you're in your Pa's old apartment now, there's nothing stopping you. If you had some neon blue makers, you'd be sure to write down your chartings, it would look beautiful at night. Maybe people would lock you up in an asylum this time? You know that, if Dr. Yu ever hears someone repeat this to you, you’d fear for the person’s wellbeing. You got this style of brainstorming from Dr Kuiper, after all, and the trio of you were best friends since freshman years.

Dr. Lara de Armas, the astrophysicist. Dr. Sieben Kuiper, the mathematician. Dr. Morgan Yu, the engineer. 

You guys made some amazing discoveries and built amazing things together. You miss them dearly. 

But that's not important right now. Well, you did trail off a little bit... A portion of the wall south of the kitchen had some scribblings on. Huh, you gonna have to clean that later... Or not? It could be related to art, right? Right? 

The intention was to put a monitor in that wall, anyway. Nobody has to see this. Yes, good plan, big brain. 

The apartment was still getting its new decor. There were some boxes of new purchases you intended to use in this place. You've already asked for some midnight blue wallpapers. And the kitchen had some new utensils for you to use whenever you had another sudden craving for strawberry smoothies.

But where did you put your telescope...? Too many boxes! Too many boxes!! 

Your thoughts are derailing again, aren't them? Ugh. 

Focus! 

Today was a special day, after all... 

The wristwatch beeped and you stared at the time with a slight frown. There was still about an hour to gather your things and go. Getting up from the mess you were, you ask yourself how that marker ended up in your hands, but there isn’t much time to dwell on it. 

There’s a smile on your face. A happy one. The kind of happiness that Bee would instantly click a picture of. 

A meteor shower today was the cause for your happiness. You were the first one to discover it. Dr Yu even tinkered with your telescope for you to get a better view. 

You wish they were here. The bright smile on your face dampens a little bit. But there's no time to lose. So, you march around the mess in your apartment and gather your things. 

Telescope? Check

Chartings? Check

Camera for stargazing? Check

Something to sit on? Check

Time to go, Lara. 

Things were loaded in your car especially fast, even if with all the gentleness in the world. There was a humming beneath your breath, a soft melody, your body moving at your tune without much thought.

       " - Ok, Frodo, how are you gonna name it?   

- Just because you're taller than me, doesn't mea- 

- Hmmm, I'd called it the one ri-

- You're a brute, you know that? 

- Morgan, stop annoying my student! 

- I'm sorry, Dr. Kuiper. Now, now, Doctor de Armas, would you name it? You're the one who found its trajectory first, after all. 

- It already has a name... It's a perseid!  

- Are all astrophysicists this uncreative? Come on, give it a name. What would you call it?

- Uncreative? You called your arm bot "Morg_4rm".

- Better than perseid, still. Go on.

- Ugh! Possibly Ocean fall.? Ocean... drops?... Scintillans falls! 

- I like the sound of that. Keep at it, Sam.

- I detest Yu. 

       "  

Oh! You've forgotten something! There’s nothing to drink! That's why you stop at the diner, right...? Right? 

Well, it doesn't matter, you're parched and when the diner enters in your field of view, you don't rummage your brain as for the "whys". The fact that you have butterflies in your stomach doesn't register instantly. Did you eat something you shouldn't? 

Your pulse just spiked up? There was no physical activity today. Well, Mal did show you a beautiful place that he may not even know how much it meant to you. You can always bring him photos of the shower!

Why are you thinking of him right now, though? Oh, right! Because you're at the diner! And he's interesting! You like his company, even if can be really charged. The fact that your heart, at the thought of him, makes you feel like a little rabbit, doesn't matter. Must be the lack of sleep. Nothing about that cheek kiss? It can't be, right? It is because he knows too much about this town and you’re trying to understand what he is. Surely!  

You find yourself inside the diner, your mind still wandering to a certain lake, the brightest smile on your face. Except when those hellish creepy spoons sound like an undead knocking in the glass. You hate those, sparing them a murderous glare. 

Clyde welcomes you, mimicking your smile, and you go instantly to ask for some tea and energy drink to pack while your eyes wander. You're just taking in the diner. It's not like you already had the whole blueprint of the building in your mind. You're just taking the ambient in, right? 

Right!

Must be nothing aside from that.

"Someone seems extra bright today, Ms. De Armas!", Clyde comments from his place at the cooking top, cleaning his spatula from some leftover batter. He's cooking some pancakes? The smell makes your stomach rumble. Haven’t you eaten today? Well, it doesn't matter, you can eat later. 

"Nighty night, Clyde! Today is a special day, after all! I'll bring you guys some photos from a phenomena that only happens once a year. And we've managed to get some cobalt reading in this year's batch, so-", you stop suddenly when you see confusion in the chef's face. You manage to breathe in a little bit, slowing down your thinking process to make sense for the middle-aged man, a softer smile on your face. "Pardon me, Clyde. I got a bit caught up. But there will be a meteor shower today, in about... ", you stop to look at your wristwatch, pouting a little bit, "40 minutes. It's going to be to the west, and it will look like ocean blue stars."

The old chef returns your enthusiasm, smiling back at you with energy. "Then you'll need these as fast as we can make it. Maybe a special someone can make the tea just the way you prefer and you can take him with you?", the suggestion in his tone takes you off guard for a moment and you fumble with your words, blushing hard. 

Wait, he means the drinks! Yeah, totally the drinks! Hundred percent sure... You think? 

It wouldn’t make sense otherwise, right? 

Ugh, some social cues are hard to read.

"I'd... love that!", your eyes sparkle with delight. If you manage to make it to the spot you encountered earlier, you for sure will have a great view of the event. Your hands tremble in excitement. There’s also the need to go fast, though, it’s a thought you don’t quite enjoy.

That’s when you feel it. It begins as a featherlight sensation in the nape of your neck and travels down. Your hair stands up at the end and a shivering sensation crawls beneath your skin. The bright smile vanishes from your face, replaced by an intense focus. Your gaze rests in every exit of the diner, trying to understand where the sensation comes from and where you can take cover, if needed. There’s a slight pressure in the back of your neck. Annoys you so deeply that you can’t understand why this is happening. You stand below a hanging cupboard, it acts as a protection for your thoughts as you analyze the diner. If you can pinpoint the direction it comes from, maybe yo - 

“Hey there, Charmer.”, the voice comes from behind your left. It’s a honeyed tone, slightly hushed if not amused, as if you both were sharing a secret. You didn’t notice him coming. Not that this is abnormal. Is his modus operandi, after all. But you were not expecting to be taken off guard, so his sudden awake gives your body a slight jump and you hit your head in the cupboard, releasing a pathetic “Yiiik!”. You instantly protect your slightly throbbing head, looking back at him with watery eyes. 

 “Mal? Hey!”, your eyes abandon the diner and are naturally drawn to him. You don’t stop to think about how it is always like this. Exits, covers and possible weapons forgotten, shoved back to the back of your mind. The shivering sensation, though, intensifies. You wonder if it’s the cold coming from the fridge. You can hear its motor in the back of the diner, and the place where you are can be an air duct for both cold and hot air masses to meet. He is dressed in his diner uniform, holding a bag in front of your face. There’s a very disarming smile on his lips. Lips that you're so not staring. Shaking your head slightly, you smile up at him, flushing heavily. “Something could’ve fallen from the cupboard, so be careful, please? But it’s ama- great! Great to see you!”

His smile becomes less disarming, and a touch more genuine. His eyes are hypnotic to you, so you decide to stare at the diner bag. Maybe you should take some medicine for your heart, something is surely not right. But the shivers stop, replaced by a warmth you don’t quite understand. Weird. 

Especially because Mal didn’t move a muscle. 

“Something falling would be the least of this place's problems, wouldn’t it?”, you slightly narrow your eyes as his mysterious words, opening your mouth to say something, but he just continues. “Besides, having something falling for you wouldn’t be so bad.”

Oh! Oh…  Ok. Remember. Night sky. Ocean Blue meteorites. Don’t stare too much. You have other things to see tonight… And he’s just being friendly, right? Right! 

DON’T THINK ABOUT THE NOTE HE TUCKED IN YOUR BACK POCKET. I SAID DON’T! 

Friends do that, right? Is it a normal thing? 

And the way you felt about it… You weren’t expecting any kind of slap, it wouldn’t make sense. Who likes to get slapped? 

Not that you liked his hand in… You know what? You’re not going there.

Is it a social cue? You know your lack of actual romantic relationships makes it harder to navigate these things… But Mal doesn’t see you that way… Not him, and not with you…

… You think. 

The way he phrases things, though? Why does it slam you with so much strength? It confuses you a bit… He barely knows you, you don’t even know his full name yet. 

Then why do you feel like you’re lying to yourself?  

“I - I… Well, thanks for bringing me these. I told Clyde about the meteor shower tonight, would you like some photos? I wish you could see them first hand…”, you say, a dreaming look in your eyes fills Mal’s vision. Something passes through his expression as his jaw sets, your curious look isn’t answered, as per usual, so you just let a soft smile take place in our lips. Pushing is something you don’t enjoy when it’s done to you, so you won’t do it to him either.   

“Mal, why don’t you take some hours off? Ms. De Armas may need some help carrying those bags!”, the line cook shouts from his spot at the cooktop. There’s a huge smile on his face as he points at the duffel bags resting on the table you’ve put them on, when you’ve arrived at the diner.

Again, Mal’s expression shifts. You were too busy listening to Clyde’s offer to notice. His jaw tenses and the customer service smile in his face dies. He looks at you, giving nothing away. Is he expecting your reaction? Is he angry at Clyde for offering? You know something always stops Mal from spending any time with you unless late in the night, but you don’t understand or know why. You want to ask, but you know you won’t receive an answer. You’re still pulling the puzzle pieces together. Maybe when you get the whole picture, it will make sense. 

“Well, uhm, do you want to come? You don’t need to, I have… 22 minutes to get there. It’s around 15 km, so I can get there in time if I get a constant velocity o-... Oh, sorry. Again, you don’t need to go, I won’t be sad or anything, I always go alone on these. And I can bring photos!”, you stumble. You have to stop being too specific about things. Is something you got from Dr. Kuiper. 

“What a server wants isn’t really ever questioned in our line of work, Charmer.”, Mal smoothly replies. You glance at him quickly, a trace of sadness in your face. You wish you could help him. He doesn’t seem happy with his role. Truth be told, behind all of that confidence, there’s a deep sorrow, for what you could detect. You won’t overextend here, you don’t want to burden him. As you did with Bee. What if you have to leave, and he expects you to come back, like Reese and James did. What if you put him in danger, as you did to Silas. 

No. You won’t pile up your list of wrongdoings. 

Giving him a soft look and smiling in a way that draws his eyes, you nod. The waiter rests his left hand in the cupboard above you, his knuckles turning white. You take a step forward with intention towards the exit, looking at your duffel bags after taking the drinks from his hand with the same delicateness that you would use to take care of your telescope. There’s a slight movement from him, as if he wanted to reach out, but you don’t linger in that. “I care about your wants, Mal. So you don’t need to do anything on my behalf. Tell me if you need anything, ok?”  

“Lara…“, he speaks in a hushed voice, staring at the increasing separation of your personal spaces with a hard expression. His customer service smile isn’t coming up so easily at this moment, you wonder why. You collect your things and wave at Clyde, smiling. The line cook looks between you and your bags, giving a sad smile. You thought Mal would’ve already disappeared, but he stays there, holding the cupboard like it’s the only thing he can hold onto right now. You lift the diner bag in his direction and give him a smiling farewell.

Your steps are wide. Well, as wide as they can be, given your height. There’s somewhere to be, after all. Even if there’s a nagging feeling in the back of your mind wishing you were sharing this with someone. But you always did this alone, so why change now? Reese passes through your mind, and your heart beats a little faster at him sharing this with you. But is it him that you wanted to share this so badly?

No, you’ll do it alone, as it has been done for so many years. It brings you peace. Something needed right now.

The drive is free of any danger, as it always is with you in the wheel. Bags are unpacked with efficiency and speed, setting everything up is a matter of a few minutes. You’ve noticed this cliff surrounded by a bed of flowers and overlooking a lake some days prior, and knew this would be the perfect spot for your “Scintillans falls”. The trek was eventless and gave you some time to enjoy the nature around Fernweh. Even with everything awful that happened in this town, you can never deny how beautiful it is. It makes you wonder, if these things didn’t happen, this place would be a haven.

The night was unusually dark, even with a half moon illuminating the surroundings. You brought a small blue weak lantern and laid it within the towel beneath you. The wristwatch beeped again. It was time. Setting the camera and fixing the telescope, you began stargazing. 

A soft wind blew around you as the stars fell down, painting the skies in a blue hue. The colors of the ocean on a sunny day brightened it, as if hundreds of bright blue fishes jumped down from a huge waterfall. It was mesmerizing. 

How would this starlight frame Mal’s face? 

No, uhuh, not going there. 

Then your mind finds another thought that you shouldn’t linger… But it's there, anyway.

You wonder if your family is between them, traveling through the skies, watching over you with the love they always had. You miss them. More than you care to admit. It should’ve been me. 

You hear a faint noise in the distance. Maybe a motorcycle? But your mind is too occupied right now to pay attention. There’s a lone tear lining your right cheek that you fail to notice.

Blinking against it, you start to take pictures. 

It’s beautiful tonight.
