1. The one place they end up falling asleep (where they’re not supposed to)
Whenever and wherever someone drugs me. Happens more often than you’d think. (I would say also wherever a pub crawl ends but I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to fall asleep after a pub crawl. That’s what they’re for, right?)
12. Honestly, has anyone seen you in your underwear in the past 3 months?
Even I haven’t seen myself in my underwear in the past 3 months.
OKAY now that I answered this privately once and had to ask the lovely @perringcentral to send my own answer back to me so I can publish it, here’s another writer ask thing ok x)
ooOOOOOoooooooo thank you! ♥♥♥♥♥
36. Post a snippet
NNnynnyyyyynynnyyyyy okay, this is from Vale, obviously, my most prized WIP and I’m a good writer. This is a scene from after Vale almost gets Cephas killed and she goes back to the team’s headquarters to say goodbye before winter cause winters are a big deal in this story.
“I killed Talbot,” I laugh awkwardly as that’s the only other thing I can think of right now. Cephas shakes even more, like a newborn bunny. “Uh, Mason’s not giving us the book cause she wanted her alive so… I also killed a whole bunch of other people too so… someone call the undertaker when spring comes around, am I right?”
“Stop,” Cephas says voicelessly and squeezes his eyes shut.
“I’ll be off now so… I’ll check in when I can but you know… I’m just a snowflake in the w-…”
“Where would you go?” Cephas asks through a layer of phlegm in his throat, breathing through his mouth as his eyes water up. “What are you going to do?”
“People love hiring me in the winter,” I laugh again. This is actually the truth. “It’s my favourite season, I don’t have to put on disguises to track people down, no need to con my way through scenes of bullshit, I just figure out where someone lives and pop them through the window. Easy cash.”
“You’re hurt, stay here,” Morlene offers and Lourdes is nodding vigorously by her side.
“Nah,” I take a step back towards the door. “Alright, so… there’s firewood, there’s food, Cephas, I assume you’re staying for winter? Is it okay that he recovers here? You have enough food to last all four of you?”
“Of course,” Morlene nods. “You should stay, Vale.”
“Cool,” I throw up a thumb and put my hand on the handle. “I wish you all a lovely winter, don’t be naughty and I’ll see you soon.”
“Vale.”
“You guys fucking love my name today,” I scoff but before I could dodge the incoming attack, Cephas is limping towards me with his right arm squeezed against his side, and uses the left to wrap it around me and pull me in for an embrace.
Without a doubt I’m not doing well at the moment but some of what’s happening is coming through. I put my right arm around Cephas’ back where I feel the layers of bandage helping his wound to heal and tap it lightly. He buries his head into my shoulder and breathes loudly. Surely he’s not crying….. right?
“Alright now, I know what you’re doing,” I say, quietly. “You stay here, heal up, yeah? Help out Morlene when you’re able. I’ll be around before spring.”
“It wasn’t your fault.”
“Don’t even start,” I say and push him away gently. From up closer he looks way more horrific, with every little vein around his eyes pale blue. I pat his face twice then open the door behind me. “Stay warm, everybody. Except you, Lourdes.”
“Fuck you.”
54. Favorite first line/opening you’ve written?
Because I suck at beginnings (lol whoever says endings are hard cause anyone can write an opening clearly never had to write an opening) I only remember the one for July 14th cause I rewrote it like a hundred times.
“Don’t go where the trees are sparse.”
And then she goes where the trees are sparse and she gets trapped in a magical train station with a bunch of other kids where a bad train comes to take them away from time to time, it’s fun.
oh my god tia i love this kid so much (also can i use that first answer as a prompt because that’s just s o g o o d)
^^ yessss, use it wisely.
(and then send it to me *_*)
((if you want))
You know what I love Drew and I miss that little peanut, I hope I finish that story one day *_* Thank yooouuu ♥♥
07. Is there a catchphrase or sound that they tend to make a lot (likely without being aware of it)?
Umm I don’t know if it counts as a catchphrase, probably not but if it does then it’s kinda sad but I’ll say it anyways, like they talk about themselves in third person and like say their name out loud, cause their name’s Drew but their family doesn’t use that name, so when they’re with friends they just keep mentioning their own name like “Drew thinks” or “Drew’s gonna” this and that. They usually don’t notice it, it’s just sort of one of those ~personality traits that are specific to when you’re with a group of people.
((but there’s also a part when they do it on purpose and consciously and it’s like the best part in the whole story, and when i write it y’all are gonna be like wow this is so cool))
08. What is, perhaps, their biggest flaw? Are they aware of this or oblivious to it?
They don’t have any flaw, they’re perfect forever.
Okay, no but Drew’s faults are pretty much things that come out positively elsewhere so it’s hard to notice. Like they’ll always prioritise helping someone else before they help themselves, or they’re good at giving advice in hard times but only because they’re going through hard times as well and refuse to take their own advice, that sort of thing. And they’re aware, they’re just… a child 😐
15. Is there a certain person in this world that they cannot stand? The very mention of this person’s name makes them tremble with anger or fear.
1) the dude that harrasses Gemma
2) cops
3) the shadow monster that’s following Jay
4) Griffin’s dad
5) Griffin’s brother
And it’s aaaaaall anger, I don’t think Drew has an ounce of fear in their body.
