Delighting at the angst in my own fic. Simultaneously sleepy and miserable that I have to work and lusting for a D*et C*ke......

Howdy Limey!
I wanted to ask these from the rolodex vocabulary ask game but first, please allow me to take this moment to remind you my Ask box is always open to come chat about the highlights of your week or gush about your f/os anytime!
10. Vociferous: What are some things your f/o is passionate about? Why are they passionate about these things? Do you share their passions? How likely are they to get into a debate over their passions? For Douxie!
3. Izod: How tough is your f/o? Have they ever reached their breaking point and if so, what happened and how did they pick themselves back up afterwards + how did you help them through this time? For Alucard!
8. Bauble: Does your f/o like to collect anything? If not, do they own something that brings them immense joy and satisfaction- if so, tell us about it! For Sirius!
2. Appellation: If possible, look up and tell us the meaning of your f/o's name + tell us if you feel it reflects your f/o in any way (those of you with OC f/os, It's your time to shine ;)) for Obitus!
Cheers,
Moxie @tex-treasures
hey hey! thank you for sending in the ask! (and I'm so sorry this took so long to complete)
Vociferous: What are some things your f/o is passionate about? Why are they passionate about these things? Do you share their passions? How likely are they to get into a debate over their passions?
oh Douxie is ON with music, especially rock and heavy metal. he likes to spend his spare time making up riffs or learning tunes from songs he's been listening to recently. he's also super passionate about magic, especially in the practical aspects. being able to blend music and magic is such peak Douxie because he's just putting his all into what he loves
Avalon is a fellow magic-caster but has a very different perspective due to being self-taught. you can bet that they and Douxie will be sat down for hours debating how certain spells are cast and comparing notes/experiences of it, with Douxie intrigued in how Avalon learned spells without the studying and Avalon wanting the actual teachings to better understand what they can do. of course, sometimes it means they'll get heated in which method is best vs. which method is correct
Izod: How tough is your f/o? Have they ever reached their breaking point and if so, what happened and how did they pick themselves back up afterwards + how did you help them through this time?
(cw Castlevania spoilers, assault mention)
Alucard is. hoooo, he is tough. he is very tough, despite going through an exceptional amount of hardship. he had to fight and kill his own father (regardless of the massive threat Dracula posed to the rest of humanity in the instance). he ended up living predominantly alone for several months, and when he did welcome people into his life in the form of a pair of wanna-be hunters - well, those hunters tried to kill him out of fear he was hiding secrets from them. so he killed them in retaliation. that was definitely a breaking point for him. he opened himself up with trust and it hurt him badly for it. it took the offer of trust from a different stranger to start picking him back together
Crow was hurt badly during Alucard's breaking point. they didn't so much help so much as retreat from humanity alongside Alucard. they were a comforting presence, but not much else
Bauble: Does your f/o like to collect anything? If not, do they own something that brings them immense joy and satisfaction- if so, tell us about it!
ooooooo Sirius does enjoy collecting small trinkets whenever he goes on excursions. this can range from pressed flowers to shiny rocks to small gems. mostly reminders of places he's been to.
he never really developed a taste for expensive items during his childhood in noble life, and instead finds joy in beautiful and rather natural items. he might pick up a piece of jewellery, but more likely simple pendants or leather-banded items, things where the beauty is found more in how the item was made or a singular gemstone in the piece
Appellation: If possible, look up and tell us the meaning of your f/o's name + tell us if you feel it reflects your f/o in any way (those of you with OC f/os, It's your time to shine ;))
Obitus' name come from the Latin word 'obitus', associated with the approach of death/dying/setting of the sun. 'obitus' is the base for the word 'obituary', a short descriptive of someone's death with general information on the person.
as an assassin, this fits very appropriately with him. his approach bodes death to the unsuspecting and suspecting alike. he certainly takes his job seriously.

hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! may i hear about some of those Bad Guys Of The Week and also the overarching plot if you have any ideas yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in case you couldnt tell, i like stories with a self-contained vibe that actually slowly build up into metaplots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not that ive ever expressed that before ever of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes yes hello!!! :D i do in fact have some ideas for both!!!! because now that i've started talking about these old OCs i am remembering more about them and also getting New Fresh Ideas to add to the pile!!
so i'm thinking the format of the whole thing would be a very monster of the week type story, with the monsters slowly amping up in both intensity and how much they relate to the characters themselves. in general, i think the idea of superheroes in this world is that they're considered public servants whose job it is to protect people from the absurdly common monsters running around, but also it's kind of a celebrity thing as well.
i don't have a lot of specific ideas for monsters yet b/c i think that's going to depend more on the tone i would want to go with than anything. if i lean more into the one punch man inspiration then it'd be a lot more comedic and the monsters would be a bit more ridiculous, but if i want to play it more serious then the opposite would be true, if that makes sense.
however. i do have some Plot Thoughts. i don't think there'd be like... some big reveal of ooooooghghgh the monsters were all created by One Person, but some of the overarching plot would involve a bit of a deep dive into the setting and where the monsters are coming from. and also, a lot of the politics relating to being a superhero and the way the monsters' existence has shaped the world at large.
and here's where my hesitance comes in b/c i feel like there's tons of superhero media out there that addresses similar ideas and i don't think i have anything unique to add to the conversation. however i also want to write about little gay people with funky powers.
anyway lightning round plot concepts swirling in my head:
a building mystery surrounding where characters like patrick and lark's powers come from in the first place, because even in-universe their powers are considered very unusual
a building discussion about the necessity of superheroes in this universe in the first place, and the consequences of their existence being so casual and normalized
i remember a vague concept with a villain who's like the inverse of patrick and acts as a huge narrative foil, so he can hang out.
also just in general the monsters of the week getting more and more intense up until i have something similar to the finale of season one of opm, in which everyone comes together during an alien invasion.
i also, while typing this, had the idea occur to me that it'd be very fun to maybe combine this with an unnamed modern fantasy story i've had rotating in my mind for a while, so HM much to consider
