Character Aesthetics - Tumblr Posts
Oh to own a sword..
Hi everyone!
Do you know that feeling that you are writing a story, and for once, you are not suffocating in self-doubt? For once, you are actually quite happy with what you’ve written? You might have fallen in love with your own plot and characters, and the only thing you really want to do is delve into a fandom and share that love... right till you realize your novel hasn’t been published yet. Well, if you do, than this blog is the place you were looking for. I love talking about writing, and I love aesthetics, which means I will gladly make a moodboard for any character you entrust me with. You can give me directions, colors, specific wishes and whatever you want, but simply telling me about your character may also do the trick. The more details, the better it will be, thought! I hope there’s a little interest in this idea, and I hope to hear from all of you. Happy writing!
jojos 1-6 — character aesthetics ;
jonathan joestar is …
gentle kisses before drifting to sleep. the scent of rosewater, spice, and english lavender. freshly-baked pastries and exotic tea in the gardens. neatly combed hair, and a single strand that refuses to be tamed. bear hugs and peppered kisses. the smell of freshly-pressed shirts. dried ink and fresh parchment. poetic confessions. slow dances, overwhelmed with love. candle-lit dinners. piggyback rides and the taste of cotton-candy. soft smiles and longing glances. overwhelmed by memories, crying at midnight.
joseph joestar is …
the thrill of adventure. the scent of peppermint, citrus, and sandalwood. an inextinguishable fire in his eyes. observant glances, hidden behind a sunshine smile. soft socks, warm feet. being friends with everyone. boisterous laughter that fills the room. drunken confessions and accidental kisses. hugs from behind. love at first sight. fast dancing, with dips and twirls. flirty winks, wandering touches. gentle gasps, and the rustling of sheets. stomach filled with butterflies. staying awake for too long. forgetting to say ‘i love you’. lost friends, and the nightmares that follow. bitter loneliness and alcohol.
jotaro kujo is …
black coffee hiding a single tablespoon of crystal sugar. the anchoring scent of sea water, nicotine, and petrichor. moonlight against ocean, sand beneath foot. seafoam and seashells. late nights with dog-eared pages and ambient music. warm turtlenecks by the fireplace. kisses with a hint of saltwater. paranoia and danger and sacrifice. mournful gazes set upon the night sky. neck kisses and coffee dates. chaos and beauty and everything in between. heartbreak and castle walls. broken promises, unsent letters. memento moris. the responsibility of great power.
josuke higashikata is …
warm arms wrapped around your waist. sweet goodbye kisses, pressed against your forehead, and lovely hello kisses, pressed against your lips. the scent of hairspray, fresh laundry, and a hint of cologne. soft hair, tousled and undone by the wind, and the accompanying click of tongue against teeth. jeans, torn at the knee. half-empty bottles of hair gel. midday naps, staying up late. fingers smashing the controller buttons. nuzzling into your neck and whispering gibberish. hurried handwriting, passing notes in class. paper airplanes, lighters, and midnight walks. carefree smiles, subtle sadness.
giorno giovanna is …
sunlight hidden behind clouds. the scent of fresh bouquets, old books, and dark chocolate. rich soils, fresh fauna, and a hidden waterfall. morning-born birdsong and the rustling of leaves. soft grass underneath fingertips. boyish charms and a voice like liquid gold. hawk-like eyes, knowing smiles. the scent of bakeries and bookstores. the welcome of a home-cooked meal. nature walks, wooden cabins away from sight. flowers pressed between pages, preserved. bullet journals and sticky notes. righteous heart, disingenuous smiles. old scars, heart of gold behind bars. being scared of opening up.
jolyne kujo is …
pink cheeks and a starry gaze, full of dreams and desires. the scent of soap, lipstick, and fresh vanilla. bruised knuckles and scraped knees, hidden behind cute band aids. vanilla ice cream topped with sprinkles. brightly-colored contacts, and fresh hair dyes. leather skirts, fishnets, and combat boots, slightly frayed at the sole. neon eyeliner and oversized sweatshirts. dancing the night away. lost hair ties, later found on her wrist. smeared lipstick and blood. hopeful gazes set upon the ocean. old picture frames, torn pictures. longing and never receiving.

Realms of Loss - Character Aesthetic
I was tagged by the amazing @rickie-the-storyteller to make this aesthetic moodboard for one of my characters.
Rules: Search for the name of one of your OCs on Pinterest, and add "core" to it. Pick 9 of the first pictures you see and make a board. Then state whether or not the overall aesthetic fits your character!
So here's the moodboard for the character Kassien Vann, from my WIP, Realms of Loss!
I had to dig a little deeper on the Pinterest search (especially since the app wasn't properly recognizing the name lmao😭) to find pictures that fit a more medieval aesthetic while following the rules and here it goes! I rather like how this turned out, I think it does fit this character's aesthetic surprisingly well!
Tagging: @writernopal, @meerawrites, @steh-lar-uh-nuhs, @exquisitecrow, @clairelsonao3, @oh-no-another-idea and @tabswrites

“being adam parrish was a complicated thing, a wonder of muscles and organs, synapses and nerves. he was a miracle of moving parts, a study in survival. the most important thing to adam parrish, though, had always been free will, the ability to be his own master. this was the important thing. it had always been the important thing. this was what it was to be adam.”
happy birthday adam parrish ;)

the last thing percy ‘troubled kid’ jackson expects is a history teacher with horse legs, a satyr best friend, a literal greek god for a parent, and a witty blond genius as a partner in crime—but hey, it could be worse.

“A HOST OF co-dependent teens with a battery of psychological issues comb rural Virginia for a dead Welsh king with dubious magical powers. Trees talk; hitmen put down roots; dead people live; living people die. Cars are described in loving detail. Fuckweasel. A house full of psychics tells everybody the future and drinks a lot on-page considering it’s a young adult series. Nobody kisses anybody, which is weird because everybody loves everybody. There’s rich boys! Poor boys! Sad boys! Angry boys! Raven boys! Collect them all!”

character aesthetic recasts: arden cho as luna love good
“That’s no reason for them to take your things,” he said flatly.
“D’you want help finding them?”
“Oh no,” she said, smiling at him. “They’ll come back, they always do in the end.”
the batcat modern au u never knew u needed:
Bruce Wayne is 30 when he decides that enough is enough. The playboy lifestyle is tiring. So when he comes across Dick, Jason, Tim and Cass AKA adorable orphans with their own set of Issues, he knows that he has a chance to do something good---give them a home. Only the agency won’t let him adopt them as a single dad. When Selina Kyle, his on-again off-again girlfriend and the only ex he remains friends with comes back into town after a year in Paris, Bruce realizes that she might just be the solution to all his problems.
alternatively:
Bruce and Selina get pretend married For The Children. But when the month is up and they no longer need to put up a pretense, who knows what’s real and what’s fake?
Selina’s halfway into a decent glass of wine when Bruce Wayne shows up at her door with disheveled hair and a casually wrinkled suit that does wonders for his face.
“Selina,” he says, dark eyes peering at her almost shyly. His voice is as low and warm as it’s always been when he says her name and oh---she’s over it. She is so over it. Right?
She’s about to make a joke or something---she doesn’t really know, honestly---but he beats her to it.
“I need you to marry me,” he blurts out.
What.
Selina blinks, head tilting in a combination of confusion and lightly buzzed amusement. She steadies herself against the door frame.
Bruce blushes, the bastard. “Sorry, what I mean is---” He pauses, gives her a pleading look she can count on one hand that she’s ever seen him give.
“I need you to fake marry me.”
