I’m going Multi-muse!

I can’t keep up with the number of muses I have all on separate blogs, so I’m finally biting that bullet I’ve been avoiding. I understand if you don’t want to continue interacting with me as a result, but all future threads will be done at devilsofcrime.tumblr.com

This account will NOT be getting deleted as I am saving it as an archive, so you can message me on either account to let me know if you want to carry our current threads over!

your father’s crimes

{ Send “your father’s crimes” for my character to discuss a legacy of shame they inherited }

There is always something, positive or negative, to be inherited from a powerful family. The Prouvaires have a long history and it is not a good one.

Even the name itself is derived from an old French word for priest. That, paired with how conservative his family is, remind him constantly of how religion can be used for evil. In the current times, with his mother taking advantage of people with the apartments she owns and his father very publicly using the family fortune to help political causes Jehan opposes--especially his father’s public attempts at thwarting progress for women and queer rights, it means anywhere he goes people are going to think of the evils they do and support first. It is a heavy cross for him to bear, with people assuming that he supports what his parents do.

☩✨✘

☩: Do they practice any sort of religion? If so, is it the same as their family’s?

No, Jehan doesn’t actively practice any religion. He has some spiritual aspects, but that’s all. He isn’t sure what his beliefs even are. This is very different from his very conservative Catholic family.

✨: What motivates them? Is it a deep rooted passion/motivation, or is it something they struggle with from time to time?

He’s definitely motivated by the desire to help make the world a better, kinder place. It’s hard sometimes, because he knows he can be better, too, but doesn’t always know how to be.

✘: Who do they detest the most? Do they typically avoid this person or antagonize them?

Definitely his parents, his father especially. He will try to avoid going home for holidays if he can avoid it, and avoid being around his parents as much as he can if he does have to go home.

[come up with your own question for the mun, regarding the muse]

[prouvairianpoetics]

Jehan managed a weak smile at the joke. Much of the time he was rather open about his feelings, but when it began to feel that he had been too negative for too long he started to bottle things up to deal with alone. Sometimes that worked, sometimes it did not. This was one of the occasions where it was still leaking through, apparently. “What if what hurts is something no one can help with?” He asked after a moment.

@prouvairianpoetics

Continued from here.

“I ought to be, I’ve so much to be grateful for and what problems I have are nothing compared to so many other people.” The poet bit nervously at his lip. These sort of questions were always hard for him. “What right have I to complain, even if I’m not?”

Joly leaned back and rubbed his thumb along his index finger absentmindedly as he listened. He was always one to worry about his friends, to check in on them every so often. “You have every right,” he assured with a warm smile, “if something is bothering you it’s better to talk about it. You can trust me on this, I’m a doctor.” He added the last part with a smirk, trying to lighten the mood since the conversation was somewhat heavy.

“You can share my jacket with me, since you’re shivering.”

“Why is your hand on my ass?”

“Cuddle with me.”

“I just kissed your forehead, chill.”

“Shit, how’d you make me blush like this?”

“Are you trying to turn me on?”

“Let’s hang out, but I’ll pay for everything, and we can go to this fancy restaurant– No, not a date.”

“Okay, I guess this is a date, actually.”

“Stop with the tongue thing, it’s strangely attractive.”

“I keep telling them we’re not dating, but they keep telling me friends don’t normally make out when drunk.”

“I don’t want to be friends with benefits, but I do want something more, I just can’t figure out what.”

“When did you get so beautiful?”

“If you’re going to dress like that, I’m not going to let you out of my sight.”

“Their pick-up line wasn’t as good as any of mine, I’m just saying.”

“No, I don’t know how I got a boner, It just kind of happened! It’s because of how you were eating that ice cream, I bet!”

“Just remember, he/she’s not the one who taught you how to kiss.”

“It’s weird how we’ve been friends for so long, but never went through that ‘crushing’ phase.”

“Maybe I want to kiss you because it’s cold and about to be cuddle season.”

“I say this a lot, but, look, they’re not good enough for you.”

“You’re always wrapping your arms around me in lines.”

“I was listening to that love song, and you came to mind.  Weird, right?”

“You know this voucher only works for couples, right?”

“Are you implying that you want to kiss me?”

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“You’re blushing so hard, all I did was say “I love you” in French.”

“I could get used to waking up next to you, actually.”

“Right… Well… I’m not sure how we ended up kissing like that…”

“I’m personally offended that you didn’t get me to be your fake date.”

“We would make a pretty good couple.”

“The date didn’t go well.  Yeah, she/he didn’t like how I kept mentioning all of our adventures.”

“How come I always end up calling you when I can’t fall asleep?”

“Sometimes i feel like i wanna make out with you is that a friend thing to do?”

[prouvairianpoetics]

"Are you really happy now?"

“I ought to be, I’ve so much to be grateful for and what problems I have are nothing compared to so many other people.” The poet bit nervously at his lip. These sort of questions were always hard for him. “What right have I to complain, even if I’m not?”
