Thanks for the tag!

I like a lot of character dynamics, lol.

But I would say that one of my favorites is the Sunshine & Moonshine, and its variants:

From What Lurks In The Hollow: Christine Nespor/Dylan Millihan (Chaotic Sunshine/Withdrawn Moonshine)

From Grim City Chronicles: Vince & Peggy (Angry, Desperate Sunshine who will Stab Someone & his bubbly yet disturbingly quiet Moonshine cousin)

From Arrow of Nightfall: Isolte & Kiaran (Anxious Sunshine/Emotional Wreck Moonshine)

From Supernova Initiative: Jack Tithus & Deimos Soll (Selflessly Self-Destructive Sunshine & Gult-Ridden Morally Grey Moonshine)

Etc!

Ask Game for Ships!

This should be okay for poly relationships as well!!

Do they go out often or prefer to stay indoors?

Who is the more romantic one?

Do they have any favorite activities to do together?

Baths or showers together? Do they like elaborate ones with bubbles and flower petals?

Who drives and who picks out the music?

What’s a song that describes their relationship? Or, what’s the song that they’ve deemed “their” song?

Who gets up the earliest? Who has the worst sleep schedule? Who is the sleepiest?

What’s their opinions on PDA?

Who does fashion shows after a mall trip and who watches and compliments them?

Do they go on vacations together? Where is their favorite place to visit?

What’s their favorite “domestic bliss” moment? Do they cook/clean together? Do they like to go out shopping together?

What does a relaxing night in look like for them?

What does a date night out look like for them?

How do they silently/subtly express their love for each other?

What clothes/accessories do they steal from each other?

Which of their friends/family pokes fun at them for them getting flustered/affectionate?

How do they apologize after arguments?

Do they like pick up lines?

What are their favorite places to kiss on their partner(s)? What are their favorite types of kisses?

What is their dream home? Do they buy a place together? Who plans the decorations and who does the heavy lifting?

Do they have any pets or kids?

Who would propose? What would their wedding be like?

What’s something that reminds them of their partner(s)? Do they have anything on them daily as a reminder (a photo, phone background, tattoo, clothing/accessory, etc)?

What is something they can never agree on? How do they meet in the middle?

Free space! Say something about this ship that you want to say!

It was really a pleasure to draw Astra, she's amazing! And thank you so much for your drawing of Zach Taylors from What Lurks In the Hollow!

For anyone interested, keep your eyes peeled because next month I'll make an art blog + PayPal and will be ready to receive character art commissions!

Thank you, @mysticstarlightduck! She did this lovely commission of Astra for me (look at that jacket!), and I did a drawing of her character, Zach :)

She's gonna open commissions soon, so be ready! Be prepared!

Let's go!!! This is the first character introduction post for What Lurks In The Hollow, Amy - the story's central character.

If you like this, pls reblog! 💕

🎞️About/General Info🎞️

A sixteen-year old highchool student, Amy Millihan moved back to her eerie childhood hometown - Vinethorn Grove - with her older brother after the death of their toxic grandmother left them with only debt, forcing them to leave the big city - where they'd lived for almost a decade - and go back to their long since abandoned roots. What she expected to be a calm clean slate for the two of them during the peaceful vacation period of the Harvest Break, swiftly takes a darker turn as an ancient curse and a string of mysterious murders/disappearances begins to unravel, revealing that, underneath the small town's apparently normal surface lie bloody, and paranormal, secrets. With the lives of her and everyone she cares about on the line, finding a way to thwart this ancient curse and defeat the Mayor's corrupt family traditions, may be their only chance to survive.

🎞️ More Info 🎞️

Pronouns - She/Her Age - Sixteen Appearance - Amy has long, wavy brown hair, which she usually keeps loose or - on rare occasions - tied into a ponytail or braid. She is average height, and usually favors pastel clothes with fun patterns, especially long sleeve shirts (the kind that the sleeve is a difference color/hue than the shirt's body) and light denim pants, and usually wears purple sneakers with star patches, being a big fun of space themed stuff. She usually rides a pastel yellow bike with a straw basket, and sometimes has her backpack on her to carry things she needs. Amy has a self defense baseball bat she takes with her when investigating or going places she deems unsafe.

Watching horror movies with Dylan, especially vintage ones or funny ones, but she also loves the actual scary ones as long as they're not too gory

Listening to music and journaling, especially doing random doodles

Reading mystery books

Riding around on her bike and enjoying the lakeside

Investigating the mysteries and secrets of Vinethorn Grove

Spending time with her new friends, especially Zach - who is her current best friend and future love interest.

Learning about history, especially historical secrets and unknown facts, as well as reading about folklore

Going to the local diner when they have the money

General Dislikes/Hates:

Prejudiced people who treat others as lesser just because they don't understand them. That also includes small-minded people, especially elders who think that anything that strays from 'tradition' is bad or not good enough.

Anyone who makes a big deal out of something simple that could easily be solved or explained otherwise without much of a fuss.

People who spread harmful or unwanted humors about others, especially if the intent is to discredit them.

Feeling unsafe or uncertain about a situation or about a certain outcome, worrying that something out of her control might go wrong.

People wasting money like its nothing - reminds her of Edith and not in a good way.

Amy despises Mrs Draycott with the strenght of a thousand suns and hopes that 50-year old creep rots in the hell she must've crawled out of 💀🔥

Another person Amy hates is Zach's stepfather (when she learns about the boy's past), and she has VERY GOOD REASONS to.

Excessive summer heat or when the sun is too bright

Corny country songs
