colorful interview!

[ cherry ]  what is one thing you love about yourself?

i think i am like a pretty decent writer. i second guess myself a lot and i don’t have a lot of confidence in my writing abilities but i do think sometimes i come up with certain prompts or lines or concepts that show i do have some talent and range.

[ lime ]  describe yourself as a character / mix of characters you've always related to the most.

amy march (little women) / lizzie bennet (pride & prejudice) / annabeth chase (percy jackson) / anne elliot (persuasion) / hanna marin (pretty little liars) / blair waldorf (gossip girl) / connell waldron (normal people) / jayne baek (yolk) / ella of frell (ella enchanted) / rosaline (love’s labour’s lost)

[ cerulean ]  what is your favorite ( type of ) character to write?

women who have gone just fully unhinged, but like in any variation. evil women who have been evil from the start and are finally allowing themselves to fully embrace their own villainy? amazing! repressed, sheltered women who have been bottling up this untapped rage for years and it’s finally all coming out all at once? incredible! naive women who discover someone who is able to coax out all the darker parts of them and encourages them to let it flourish? i’m gonna fucking cry!

[ fuchsia ]  bonus round:  angst or fluff?  one-liners or paras?  plotting or winging it?  memes or starter calls?  single muse or multimuse?

angst / paras / plotting / memes / it depends! if we’re just shipping, then single muse. if we’re going for like full out vibes and making a plot and creating our own little bubble world, multimuse!

grief, love, hatred

i.

War spares no one. Not when it is between the two reigning crime families of New York, both of them out for blood. The years are fraught with one feud after another: years of partnership bringing the kind of wealth and heights of power that neither could have reached without the other. It is always followed by treachery ; always followed by the sort of bloodshed that neither could have measured. It is a blessing and later a curse that they are raised in a time of peace ; raised side by side – raised to be each other’s shadows. Angelo learns the sound of her laughter before he knows the shape of any other sound. War spares no one but they are young and they have snuck out of a party, stolen his father’s car and a bottle of wine. He hears her laughter in the wind as he lets down the roof of the convertible, speeding down the highway and she leans over to press a kiss against the corner of his lips. War spares no one but in the moment he is sure that they can conquer it.

There is so much joy between them.

ii.

Angelo was raised for war but he is not prepared to wage it so soon ; he is not prepared to wage it in his father’s name. The worst part is not that his father is dead, it is the surprise that comes with the betrayal. They should have known that it was only a matter of time – after all, they had history as witness but he had let himself be blinded by love. He had allowed himself to believe that there was a fate other than violence in store for them. He sees her after the funeral and the look on her face makes him wish that he had never known her. It makes him wish that he never leaves her side - all in the same breath. She wraps her arms around him and he lowers his head to her shoulder, allowing himself to be weak one last time. She tangles her fingers in his hair, pressing him closer and as Angelo wraps his arms around her, he vows revenge in the moment for the wreck she has made of his heart.

There is grief between them.

iii.

Angelo might have won this battle but he looks at her as if he has already lost the war. Duty above love ; that is what he had told himself when he had put a bullet in her brother’s head. It is what he has repeated until the words had become a part of him. The look on her face when her worst suspicions are confirmed tells him that this is where he loses her. The shot she fires at him misses his heart by the barest of inches, burying itself in his shoulder instead and as she leaves him bleeding on the floor she tells him that she won’t miss next time. Angelo knows it is truer than any promise she has ever made to him.

There is hatred between them.

iv.

He knows that sometimes a name can be as good as a declaration of war. He has told himself that it held no power over him any longer but it only takes the space of a single breath to make his defences come crumbling down. It only takes a single moment for him to realize that there will always be a part of him that will hear her name and want to run to her. The very idea of that ignites a rage at his very core, a bone deep need to cut her out of his life – out of himself. He knows that there will be nothing left of himself after her but he thinks it must be better than this cavernous feeling in the centre of his chest. That is what he tells himself when he shows up at the gala she is said to be at. His gaze finds her of its own accord and he’s walking towards her as if pulled by an invisible string, as if he has been lost all this time – waiting to find her again. The song is nearing its end and he smoothly cuts in just as the new one begin. Angelo doesn’t spare her old partner a glance as his hands settle on the curve of her waist. The smirk on her lips is nothing short of a challenge and Angelo rises to meet it as he pulls her closer, his hand splaying across her back.

“You killed two of my men,” he says in lieu of a greeting and though there is anger buried under his words there is a slight hint of admiration concealed behind the words.  Angelo barely had a moment to blink before the knife was pressed against his throat, the sharpness of the blade startling against his skin. The look in her eyes was no less savage than the knife she held against his neck, both equally capable of cutting him down. He leans closer, his hand trailing down her back, his lips hovering inches above her own. “I have missed you.”

There is love between them.

☕️ fave archetypes + ☕️ the rpc 👀

on favourite archetypes: there are ones that’ll make me trip over my own bare feet at any time, except if they’re poorly done. i don’t know the technical or official names for them that you may find on a tropes list, so i’m just going to list the vibes: 

found family, can be blood-related or not

feral woman allowed to be feral without being a trope

the woman in white

haunted woods / haunted places

man versus the self, man versus god

steampunk / steampunk technology

brooding byronic hero / troubled poet / artist

overcoming hardship / addiction / etc. but no ‘fixing’ 

slow burn romance, open communication, meeting in the middle

childhood friends / best friends to lovers 

the ‘sherlock holmes / dr. watson’ dynamics

death versus science, religion versus science

indigenous / mixed-indigenous casts ( not an archetype but should be .. in fact it should be a norm ... also stop making it period pieces, you cowards ... )

on the rpc: the rpc has always reflected the current states of the world. brown / black / mixed people wanting a safe space to write. white people pretending to be the authority on non-white issues. call-outs, cancellations, running away with one ( 1 ) single piece of evidence as a failsafe against someone’s whole character. allowing no personal growth. sending hateful anons and death threats. tiny blip-on-the-radar safe spaces where you can find like-minded people who speak openly with you and that is what makes it worth it. colonial-minded people ( i refrain from saying white here due to the fact that non-white people can fall into the colonial mindset due to different factors ) performing diversity and then going back to ignoring actual in-life racial justice. also: those who i have seen writing or written with or am writing with are good enough people to write full novels that i would read and buy and want an autograph for. the rpc tries to be a method of escapism but bigotry invades us all, as it has since colonial-minded pairs of boots crossed our borders, wearing different faces and in the forms of different people. at first, the rpc for me was an escape and a positive experience. however, that slowly drained away. the rpc as a ‘c’ ( as in, as a community ) is no longer for me. even so, i’m still glad that it exists, because it is a medium to discover aforementioned like-minded people and, you know, favourite mutuals, so, there’s a balance on the scales, i think.

send in a ☕️ + a topic and i’ll tell you my thoughts.

🌻 pls luv me 🥺✨

IF YOU’D DIE FOR WHAT YOU LOVE, THEN I WANT YOUR CORPSE AT MY FEET —

your god’s damnation was a kiss — ( such a foolish, human thing ) — but take it as a lesson: lips pressed to cheek is such a sweet condemnation and you’ll be turning the side of your face just to have me do it all over again to you. some things are worth dying for, i suppose. your sins never had anything to do with it. 

the soft unfurling of wings unused, all sinew and bone-sharp, crowns made from jewels stolen and looking better on thieves than they do on kings. crimson skirts drag in the lakewater like a bride down an aisle to her execution, rooting selves in the center of small deaths, eye of a hurricane resting but never not watching. your eyes blink the wrong way ( down-up; reptilian, charming ) — and men come from their kingdoms to conquer woman-beasts only to love them instead. only to die for it, for me. 

lovely, dangerous thing. history will never write you quite right but what does it matter? the earth remembers, as does this skin. you make an art of it and i can’t stop staring.

5, 26, 40, 44 for writers ask game!

thank u 🥺

5. How much writing do you get done on an average day?

Now that I'm living at home again instead of at my job, I actually get writing done which is so nice to say after two years. I don't know word count or anything, but because I'm catching up on plots and writing an app, I do get some writing done.

26. Favourite writing program

I'm really just on Google Drive.

40. Share some backstory for one of your characters

Katya Vasilova, my invisible blade. In a world sort of inspired by/adjacent to the Grishaverse, she was born to a family of con artists and had a twin brother named Alexei. After their parents died when they were thirteen, he took it upon himself to take care of her and refused to let her out of his sight. They joined a traveling acting troupe and robbed people who came to see their performances until they were sixteen and left the troupe. Soon after, they decided to join a gang led by Jaqueline Masika who Katya eventually fell in love with, much to the displeasure of her twin brother who had taken it upon himself to try and control everything about Katya's life. He was eventually killed in a fatal job they all went on and she left the gang immediately after, holding onto repressed guilt and blaming herself for his death ever since.

44. How much research do you do?

top 5 of your OCs

THATS WAY TOO HARD WTF!!!! but okay lemme think about it

so there was once zhexian, set up in a hp-verse who i played on forums back then?? bastard son of an important wizard in china, and he had an unhealthy interest in a magical artifact, a fan that once belonged to da ji (never found it, instead had an encounter with a fox spirit and almost died from it lol)

there’s also raphael, whomst u know from asphodel? i had great plans for him but then i kind of killed him off in a self-para and i miss my boy a lot

there was also shay? lover of all things colorful, very messy bi disaster boy who frequently skipped work to go skateboarding instead - never got to his full potential tho altho there were a lot of plans for him :(

also archer, centuries old vampire who used to be an actor of the chinese opera, used to be the protégé of an important person who later turned him into a vampire when he suffered an injury that broke his career of an actor?? 10/10 very good boy, i used up a lot of what ive learned at uni to create his bio LOL

and the last one is maybe silver, who u also know from asphodel? in my head he’s a bit different from what i wrote in the rp, a lot more fragile and delicate? also a lot more haunted by all the deaths and ghosts he saw, indulges in a lot more unhealthy habits to cope with those

#answered #damn u made it really hard???? wtf #ty for asking <3 #oflysithea

✨ lady grey, matcha, honey, green tea! :taryn:

lady grey : favourite outfit

among a few would be a thin black duster trench coat i wear as a dress by buttoning in the middle and belting at the waist. miniskirt, tights, and sheer mesh mock-neck all in black. dramatic gold earrings, hair down, and red-to-bordeaux lip. it’s all very death becomes her.

matcha : favourite book?

oh noooo, that’s so difficult (and also v intimate). i don’t know if i can name a definitive fave, but one that was extremely formative to both my writing style and myself as a woman is white oleander by janet fitch

honey : type out the last text you sent

is she loud?

green tea : where do you feel most at peace?

answered, but alternatively on the couch in front of a window during a storm.
