#muse: raven darkholme

I think the ideas that

“Raven is a bad parent”

And

“Raven loves their children”

Can and should co exist. I will never sit here and say Mystique is a good parent, but I think acting like they don’t love their children is just being willfully ignorant of their characterization since the 80s.

I see a lot of people try to claim Raven doesn’t care about their kids. I actually think they care a LOT, it just, doesn’t deter their actions. And they’re not a good parent, don’t get me wrong, but that doesn’t mean they don’t love Kurt and Rogue and I think trying to claim they don’t actually does away with a lot of Raven’s character nuance.

A lot of the tragedy and depth of their relationships come from the fact that Raven DOES love their children, but it’s not enough. And Kurt and Anna Marie know that, and that’s part of the tragedy of it too.

I’m not a Mystique defender, but I am a Raven Darkhölme characterization realist. A lot of people flatten their character to add more sympathy to Kurt’s story especially, which feels kinda iffy to me. But that’s for another post.

From a storytelling perspective, it adds so much more depth and tragedy to all characters involved to not make the relationship so shallow and one sided as “Oh Mystique doesn’t love them”, and even to juxtapose Raven’s relationship to them with Irene’s is a whole other thing I may talk about one day. But like, you do the story injustice to flatten it down to just “Oh Mystique sucks”

Tl;dr - Raven Darkhölme is a shitty parent but they do love their kids. And that’s the whole tragedy of the thing

Several muses have their own side blogs, as they are the ones who are most active at the moment, and yes, they include OCs.

However, I still write the rest of these muses, so if you don't see a sideblog for them, just send in a muse you'd like to write with, and I'll reply from the accurate place to keep things as uncomplicated as possible.

♡ Send me 🍉 if you want to interact but aren’t sure how. Or send 💡 if you want to interact and have an idea!

Hiiii Sah, thanks for sending this in! (　＾▽＾) / 💜 *casually just pspspspspsps to call you closer*

I'm not sure which muses of mine you would like but I can list which of yours I would be interested in playing against. Hopefully this helps a little! We can always talk about pairing certain muses up or plotting. C: I also have my favorite tropes listed under my FAQ, so if you see anything you like, we can always use that trope as a base for the pairing we decide on and build from there.

I do have one of your open starters for Tony saved in my drafts, so I do plan on writing up a reply to that at some point, too. I just haven't figured out which muse I want to throw at him yet. 🤔 I'm debating on using Loki, Billy, Charlie, Adrian, or Rina; Charlie would be interesting since she hacks into things (but she's lesbian, so that would be a platonic ship either way).

Muses I'm Interested in...

Blue are particularly interesting, as some of them I've had a hard time finding partners for. The ones with stars are characters/fandoms I'm not familiar with but would still play against. Some of them I would need to adjust my characters for but I don't mind that, either.

- Bucky Barnes - Tony Stark - Orion Hastings - Andrew Michaels - Dean Winchester - Sam Winchester (Valerie would be really cute with Sam or Dean, in my opinion; Adrian would probably work better with Dean since they share the same type of humor and sarcasm) - Raven Darkholme * - Elizabeth Ross * - Loki Odinson / Loki, Son of Fárbauti (I have a weakness for either, especially since I love Norse mythology and I'm Norse Pagan (': So that's up to you lmao) - Merida of Dunbroch - Elsa of Arendelle - Klaus Hargreeves * - Katniss Everdeen - Peeta Mellark - Charlie Lewis - Nicholas Andrews - Ruby the Rambunctious - Orion Arryn of the Vale * - Alyssa Chestnut - Hades, Lord of the Underworld - Thor, Son of Odin - Zeus, God of the Sky - Hermes, God of Thieves (I get a bit of sarcastic/sassy vibes and I think Adrian would be so funny against him) - Heracles, God of Strength (Kellan Lutz is a weakness, honestly 👉👈) - Andrea Field - Anisa Kripke - Callen O'Malley - Will Turner

[thecambriaone]

most wanted muses from marvel? also, would you consider marvel muses here to be based more on mcu/d+ or the comics?

hey there !

we'd love to see: thor odinson, sam wilson, tony stark, bruce banner, carol danvers, matt murdock, peter parker, t'challa, pietro maximoff, lorna dane, reed richards, susan storm, johnny storm, ben grimm, peter quill, gamora, rocket raccoon, drax the destoyer, nebula, adam warlock, scott lang, jessica jones, luke cage, danny rand, eric brooks/blade, laura kinney, remy lebeau, erik lehnsherr, charles xavier, jean grey, scott summers/cyclops, ororo munroe/storm, piotr rasputin/colossus, hank mccoy/beast, bobby drake/iceman, warren worthington iii, kitty pryde, emma frost, nate summers/cable, raven darkholme/mystique, kurt wagner, gwen stacy, loki, jennifer walters, kamala khan and elektra natchios !

and as far as the canon goes from the backgrounds of our marvel characters: it's fairly split down the middle of muses from the comics and muses from the films/series - and some characters have a mixed canon of both ! so it's entirely up to the mun to choose which source they're pulling from and a part of the fun is that they aren't all from the same source !
