Has it already been a full week?! Why does this always keep happening? Here's this week's prompts from thefridayfive.

1. What is one thing about you that you hate?

Ooh, tough! I dislike that I have a tough time making decisions. I'd say that I've gone so far as to 'hate' that about myself, but I'm trying to be more forgiving.

2. What is one thing about you that you love?

Also tough! Damn, this week's too hard! I usually can live my values: compassion, kindness and care mean a lot to me and I'd love receiving them, so I try to keep that available for others in case they're in the same boat.

3. If you had to change one thing about you what would it be and why?

Probably my ability to socialize. I wear out very quickly around people and wind up being pretty lonely for it, because I don't have the ability to make connections that are all that deep before everything feels exhausting.

4. What is one word that you would use to define yourself?

"Infodesk", lol— when we got out, it's not unusual to have strangers go so far as to cross streets to ask me where something is or how to get from X to Y. It's like there's a big ? hanging out over my head because strangers think I can answer any questions!

5. Imagine what you would look like in a perfect world...what do you look like?

Physically look like? Externiality of the world around me? Interniality? My neurodivergence might be getting the better of me but I don't know how specific this question wants to be answered. I would say that a perfect world would be less about changing myself, and more about changing our culture. A perfect world would be deeply socialist, with lots of community and support available to all. In that world, I'd be working a lot less, affording better food, and spending more of my time helping friends and family with little errands and tasks between doing art and writing. So, I think I'd probably be just as tired, but for very different reasons. Maybe I'd dye my hair some funky colours, but otherwise I'm happy with how I look, given the circumstances, lol!

Let's get this party started! ocrealm's first discussion prompt is this:

What inspired you to make your OC(s)?

Now, I believe we're supposed to reply to that comment with our own replies, but I wanted to ramble! So, below are several settings with several OC's origins. If you'd like to learn a bit about where my blorbos come from, ( hop past the link with me! )


Okay! That was a lot! These are the main boatload of characters that I'll be playing with over at ocrealm so I figured I'd share them all now and use this as a point of reference for later... but if you've managed to read this far, thank you for staying with me! ^_^ I love writing, and it gets hard sometimes to break through that thick wall of creative block... but playing is such a crucial part of... I don't know. Feeling safe? Feeling human? That I'm glad to be dabbling again.
