I love writing the banter between Daisuke and Obito, especially when they're just outright bullying each other 💀 But I also like writing them being funny and sexy 🙈

What are your favorite scenes to write with your character?

Fighting/action? Bonding between characters? Revealing their backstory? Scheming? Exploring? Something else?

Does it change for different characters?

Not for main characters. Those are...well, not planned, but I know they're gonna be together. I say that, but Kohaku (series after P&O) is going to surprise me. I can sense it 💀

ObiDai started as side characters and surprised me then. Haruki and Junpei surprised me this time around 🤭

#Smutcember
Happy Friday, #Smutcember!

Have you ever been surprised by which of your characters hook up? Has a planned romance ever been derailed by chemistry that developed while drafting?

Like all Northern Nomads, Daisuke's dreams are SUPER vague visions of his future, and they stress him out a lot. Sometimes the dream realm also connects to the spirit realm for extra spice 🤣

Obito, on the other hand, doesn't dream at all (or if he does, he never remembers them)

#AwesomeCharacters

Does your character dream?

Do dreams play a role in the story? Do they tell us about the character? Foreshadow the future? Are the literally prophetic?

Does your character enjoy their dreams or dread them?

Ooh, another tough one 🤔

I think, ferrr me, it's touch (heat, sensation, bites!), sound (gasps, moans, laughs), and sight...probably in that order, too 😂

Time to get sensual, #Smutcember:

What is your favorite sense to rely on when describing sexy scenes? How do you like to engage with multiple senses throughout?

Probably to no one's surprise, Obito and Daisuke spend holidays together, but Junpei and/or Shinta might swing by. As they get older, they're also usually working 😅 I think book 3's gonna have a scene like that 🥰

#AwesomeCharacters
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

I've got holidays soon, which got me thinking: who would your characters choose to spend their holidays with?

Friends, family, a lover, a combination of these?

Would they want a large gathering or small?

CW for SA, just to be safe, and not sure if I'm answering this right 😅
It adds another layer of security and trust, especially for Obito, who was assaulted in the past and extremely anxious/self-conscious about his body for a long time after.

Onward through the mid-month, mid-week slump, #Smutcember:

How do your characters view their relationships changing before and after sex? What factors are influencing this change? Is there one big change, or many smaller incremental ones over time?

I think Daisuke is chaotic neutral and Obito is true neutral. There are times when they switch or might lean a bit more toward evil, though 😅😅

Here's a basic one we haven't done yet! Where do you think readers would say your character falls on the classic D&D style alignment chart?

Does that change over the story?

If they don't fit, why is that?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 17, 2025 at 12:23 AM
I write 3rd omni (gasp! I know!), so I'm usually switching POVs as seems fit anyway. I try to keep it balanced.

I've written a couple from strictly one POV for practice, too, and they're alright, but I don't like the emotional distance *I felt* from one character over the other

How do you handle perspectives in sexy scenes? Do you focus on one POV at a time or switch around?

Daisuke's incredibly softhearted for people he cares about. He sees himself as pretty callous because of how he left Kulako , but he'd fight a god for loved ones.

Obito’s is funnier. He's good with kids! He's low-key afraid of them and avoids them, but they tend to like him 🤭

What is one thing you know about your character you think would surprise them about themself?

Is there something they aren't good at seeing in themself, even if obvious to others?

Is it positive or negative?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 15, 2025 at 11:58 PM
Mostly by feel (giggity), I guess. Sometimes it just makes sense to fade to black, or imply it just happened after a scene break. Other times it's just way more satisfying to show everything (especially because this is usually how Obito gets back at Daisuke for being a teasing brat 💀🤭)

Duels of Blood (*I* wanted to be romantic. *Daisuke* wanted to be a menace. Obito’s having none of it)
December 15, 2025 at 12:25 PM
Daisuke's sense is...um. 😅 If he pays attention, it's usually fine. But if he gets distracted (always), he's lost and needs Obito to come help him 💀

Obito’s sense of direction is much sharper and more reliable. Even if he doesn't know where he is, he's good at figuring it out

#AwesomeCharacters
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

How is your character's sense of direction?

Are they good with reading a map, a compass, a sextant? Navigating a city, the ocean, space, or the wilderness?

Is this something that comes up on their story?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Surprising as this might be, Daisuke and Obito really admire each other's empathy, even when they're using it for less wholesome purposes 😅 Because they're both nerds, they also love the deep, intellectual conversations they have

I said we'd get to it, and here we are, #Smutcember:

This is an interesting question 🤔

Names and traditions are (lovingly) borrowed from Japanese and Chinese cultures, so I'd guess the language spoken in-world is the same, but I’m not brave enough to insert phrases or anything like that 😅

#AwesomeCharacters

Does your character speak English? Or another real language?

Do they speak a fictional language transcribed as another for the sake of the reader?

Are language barriers ever a problem in the story?

Ooh 👀
Kinda tough, because I do like aspects of both. Especially the butterflies of a new relationship. But, I think I'm going to say established. I've realized that I really like to write kink (😅😬🤭🫢), and I'm way more comfortable with that when the couple's been together for a bit.

#Smutcember
Happy Friday, #Smutcember folks!
