Good day at the beach with Brooke 😎❤️ Nudie version: mleth.itch.io/lakesidelewd ✨

#AwesomeCharacters Cyrus: "Absolutly Eden." Eden: "I WILL CUT OUT YOUR HEARTH!" Cyrus: "Proving the point." Erik: "Eden." Eden: "SAYS THE MAN IN A LITERAL GENERATIONAL MARRIAGE DISPUTE!" Erik: "Yes and we only scream at each other like this every few centuries."

#AwesomeCharacters 🥇Wilder from The Bird and the Blade King of putting his foot in his mouth! Sasha was bad about this in his book, but he was sometimes able to keep his comments inside and grunt instead. Wilder... there's constant scenes of him saying something and regretting it immediately. 😅

#AwesomeCharacters On the funny side of this (mostly) would be Fen with starting a fire he's absolutely sure he can control. On a more serious note it would be Lastak for [redacted] reasons.

This award goes to... 🏅Claret! (Because of course ;w;)🏅 During horrific life-threatening moments, Claret would be pushed further and further until she loses her composure, later shutting down when she realizes what she said, apologizing and wanting to make things right for the person she hurt 💜💜💜💜

#AwesomeCharacters Definitely Dom from Delay of Game. Which is why he usually keeps his mouth shut. Right up until he doesn’t and causes problems for his beleaguered brother-in-law.

#AwesomeCharacters Oh boy. Alex, only if it relates to Sam and it in fact happens quite a bit in the book. He's awful about not saying something stupid to her. But I guess 🥇 is Drex. He's not very good at peopling (it's why he stays in the van) and doesn't understand many social cues.

#AwesomeCharacters Closest I think I have is Kaitani who is likely to do something and not apologise for it He may feel bad about it, but he won’t (or hasn’t) said “i apologise” or “i’m sorry” Except to the other Kais

All of the Callans are guilty of this to an extent but Callan Mhuirrich (#7) is probably the award winner. In short, she's a gobshite and a spoiled brat, often blurting things without a thought of how hurtful they can be. She then has the cheek to wonder why people don't like her company. 🏅

#AwesomeCharacters Ooh, tough call, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say GIl Dong. He's rather short-tempered and doesn't mince words, even if they hurt others, although he is willing to admit when he goes too far.

OWENNNNNNN 🥇💔 #AwesomeCharacters

The nominees for the 2026 Most Likely to Say Something They'll Regret award are: Lilia Clearborne from Magic in Our Bones Evangeline "Evie" Dark from Hero/Villain Blakely Jonas McCallister from A Paranormal Bromance and Hale Q from Stars, Sparkling Like Snow #AwesomeCharacters 1/6

Demon King Daughter: --Goes to Seina, poor thing. She's so sincere and open, she tends to blurt things out that miiiiight not be the best way to handle something. Her sincerity makes up for a lot of it though. In her case it's usually just 'you're not supposed to just SAY that.' 🧵 #AwesomeCharacters

Arin. No contest. (He has ADHD. Saying something and immediately going "shit, nope, why did I say that" happens with some frequency) Silver medal to Matt, whose sense of humor is concerning and has a tendency to kill the vibe / make things worse, and who isn't always the best at reading the room

I think it's a close call with all the tightly masking people in my cast. But lets say Vela, because she sometimes doesn't think about what she says in the socially acceptable way. She also has to be the most cautious with knowledge.

And the award goes to Denis Borel - companion to Doctor Omega and non-stop worry machine! He's never had an adventure that he didn't thoroughly regret, and yet he keeps going on them thanks to the Doctor's persistence and the presence of his good "friend", Fred. Art by @aristidetwain.bsky.social

#AwesomeCharacters Alright for this one I'll give it to Emperor Durinkal, main antag of Dead Promises. Purely because he HAS said things he regretted saying just not in a "ah shit now I feel bad for saying it" but more a "oh SHIT that could've pissed off a god, need to keep my mouth shut" way

MATTHIAS! He is brutally honest. He doesn’t hold back. But he doesn’t usually regret it. Unless it is someone that didn’t deserve it. Then he will feel guilty.

#AwesomeCharacters OMG, all of them! Im so anxious about this stuff that all my characters say stuff they regret all the time! 🤣😅 I'll give top prize to Jack. Not because he's prone to foot-in-mouth syndrome. Its more because he's most sensitive to other people's feelings and perceptions... 🧵 1/4

Garrett in "Living In The Wakes" manages to piss off a number of people throughout the book. He is one of Lee Willnaught's oldest friends, but he really does not care about anyone or anything enough to care about their opinion, so he says pretty much whatever he feels,often without tact or kindness.

#AwesomeCharacters Hmm, probably Bryn. I'm not certain since I haven't written him enough yet, but he's blunt and often meaner than he intends. Next is Clara. She can be sharp and impulsive when she's upset. Her words are likely to be genuine, but may be harsh.

Daisuke finally wins 🥹🫶🏻 The Sass Master can be short-tempered, knows exactly what to say to get under someone's skin, and is often without a filter 😅 There *can* be a strategy to this, and most of the time there is, but this boy's mouth 😬😅🤣💀 #AwesomeCharacters

Definitely going to Ophelia!🥇 Unfortunately our sweet little princess has very little real social skills (she’s excellent at formal social events tho) and often says things that are actually incredibly rude or offensive Though, she doesn’t usually realize it, so there isn’t often regret involved

Definitely Rohllia. She speaks in emotion and anger before she stops to think about what ahe's saying.

#AwesomeCharacters (SotP) Oh, do i have someone like that! Ari, or Aristides Engel, a Nephilim raised in a manor compound away from public eyes. he's a cocky SOB in love with himself, and does the foot-in-mouth dance very easily. Even gets decked once. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#AwesomeCharacters Probably Wren. 🥇 She is sarcastic and sweary and when she feels cornered she tends to say things to deliberately piss people off. Usually it's part of some last ditch plan that may or may not end badly. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#WritingPrompts #WriteSky - David should regret many a thing he's said, but he doesn't - Jeanette can be quite blunt but generally isn't *sorry* about it -Nicky will blurt things out carelessly and then sometimes IS sorry about it - Molly chooses her words with purpose I guess Nicky wins?

If Catarina ever regretted saying something it would be her, but she's just really cutting. Jamil has definitely let his mouth run without looking where it was running to, but he's gotten much better about that over time...

#AwesomeCharacters Thalia improves regarding communication. I actually have to give it to Alderius Gladium. He usually knows when he's unnerving people and being awkward, but he doesn't always know how to stop and he can't trust people to correct him because of his high social status.

It's Daemrin, the MMC of my romantic science fantasy, WHAT THE IRON GAVE US. He is so honest, he would rather say something regretful and apologize afterward than lie.

My female leads, Vivian from TDKP and Mida from RITW, definitely get this superlative. I don't know why, I just like having my female characters be a mess

#AwesomeCharacters Tanya DEFINITELY says a lot of stuff that she'll end up regretting later. That's what she gets for being a toxic friend!

An award for Clara! 🥇 She wants to be (and frankly is) kind, but she also always wants to tell the truth and keep her word. Those things don’t always go well together, and it tears her up when that happens. #AwesomeCharacters

Hmm that’s difficult. Theodora doesn’t regret anything she says. Joseph says things he doesn’t mean but likely wouldn’t regret it. Now Dez is probably the winner here. He is a soft bean that is generally confident but I could see him sticking his foot in his mouth. Award goes to: Dez 🥇

#AwesomeCharacters Clementine from the Whimsical Dreams series. She has a heart as big as the ocean, but absolutely no filter and isn't always great at thinking before she speaks. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt #SmallPress #QueerWriters

That would Ash. Short-fused & brutally honest, she has no brain-to-mouth filter, often blurting out whatever is on her mind. #AwesomeCharacters

Karrath wins this reward, & I love him for it. Even when he's determined to keep a secret he finds himself speaking before thinking. It happens both when he's angry & when he's comfortable. I find it interesting this is the 2nd time I've mentioned Karrath for #AwesomeCharacters

Yeah, that’d be Korrin. When he gets flustered or angry, he mouths off and almost always says something he regrets later. The whole story kicks off because of this 😅 #AwesomeCharacters #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

#AwesomeCharacters And the award goes to..! 🥁🥁🥁 Henet..? Yeah as of book two Henet has discovered some here to unexplored and unrealized anger issues, which has caused them to say a few things they wouldn’t normally…

Monica by landslide. Not a quick thinker, extremely reflexively emotional, and easily the fastest mouth out of all my characters means this happens in 1/5 of her conversations. Usually it's small, she realizes right away, and she apologizes. But once it resulted in the breakup of her band.

Lu said things intentionally that he regrets to push Sorrel away, but the person who by-and-large says things without thinking is Nit, Lu's oldest sister and the oldest sibling of five. She does her best and steps in as the "mom" because their mom is terrible ⬇️ #WritingPrompts #AwesomeCharacters

#AwesomeCharacters Narok gets this one. 😭 He's very direct and also terrible at wording anything. He doesn't really WANT to be mean, but it comes across that way.

#AwesomeCharacters No Prophecies MC is exempt, but Gallara A) talks a lot, and B) has social anxiety. She'd get embarrassed ordering lunch (it's in the first book). In CoJ, it's Ian. He has unexamined shit in his head, and friends who'll call him on it. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I can't choose between Cary and Bolton. Cary because he's a hothead, so statistically he has a higher chance of verbal missteps. But Bolton's lack of self-worth means he regrets anything and everything, whether he should or not. A tough call!

see I'm struggling with this bc on one hand Elspeth is definitely most likely to say something she maybe SHOULD regret, but WILL she is a completely different question and the answer is usually no

Katie, one hundred percent. She has a terrible habit of reserving her quick wit for her writing but often eats both feet, almost as a performance art.

#AwesomeCharacters most likely to say something they'll regret. 🥇 goes to Ume, not because she says the most cringy/regrettable things. She's actually one of the least likely to do so, but the most likely to think she has. (The cringest person is Airisu, who is the least likely to regret it.)

Ciarán, because I'm constructing the story so that he ends up saying a lot of things he eventually regrets.

Mitra, probably, they all kind of put their feet in their mouths but she does it more often. It's a matter of not talking to anyone but her brother in so long she's forgotten how and gets so excited that someone is speaking to her and not trying to swat her she blurts whatever comes to mind first.
