Villain Type Quiz // D'nyr Fellcrest

"Then Let Me Be Evil"

You never wanted to hurt anyone, but the world never gave you a choice. You did the best you could with what you had, but every innocent mistake you made was held against you when it counted, every crossroads led you down the wrong path no matter which way you went. No matter what you did, the odds were stacked against you. It wasn't fair, and you are sick and tired of being told what a monster you are for things out of your control. Well, fine. They want a monster? YOU'LL GIVE THEM A MONSTER!

They're babying

This has been on my mind for long but I’m gonna do this - please reblog this if you’re comfortable with pre-establishing relationships. I do not mean “met at the grocery store two weeks ago” or “have a common friend”, but rather stuff like “have been best friends since kindergrden”, “go for a beer every friday”, “friends with benefits”, “dated in highschool”, “hate each other’s guts because -insert reason-”  etc. Something meaningful (but not necessarily shippy) and I mean with muns/characters you have not interacted with, because I cannot believe I am the only one who prefers jumping right into the heart of the human interaction.

Villain Type Quiz - Ohka Karani

The Betrayer

You like to do things up close and personal. As personal as you can get. You are an excellent actor, and you do adore putting on a smile knowing your worst enemy, the one you hate the most, doesn't suspect a thing when they tell you their deepest secrets. Your only motivation is revenge, and revenge you shall get. Perhaps you loved them once, long ago, but any fondness for your target you once felt has long since warped and twisted into perverse obsession, laced with malice and venom and seething hatred. Good or evil does not matter to you. All that matters is they get what they deserve.

This is Ohka- pardon the pun- to a tea. Not overt in her hatred and manipulation. Befriending, romancing- light touches and bedroom eyes before the knife is in your back or poison on your tongue.

After all, karma's a bitch, isn't it?

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers (ू•‧̫•ू⑅)♡

Thank you for the ask!~

I've done one of these already here, so for this ask I'll be doing a music edition!

Music never ceases to make me happy and I've chosen some of my favourite songs below ♥

1. A Disappearing Act - Coheed and Cambria I was introduced to Coheed and Cambria by a friend, and fell in love from the first listen. This was the first song of theirs I heard and it's still on frequent rotation.

How long have you waited here? For someone to touch you, for someone to hear you scream? It's okay to be afraid, I'm here with you My love, we'll make it My hands, you can leave or take them We're strong enough to face our fears

2. Draw the Line - WILD This is a more recent favourite of mine; it sums up the feelings I experienced when going through a rough friendship breakdown with someone a few years back. Now that I'm able to look back knowing I'm healthier and happier without them, it's a good feeling; I'm less willing to compromise my own comfort and boundaries for others now.

When your hope was in short supply I gave you all of mine, all of mine It didn't matter how hard I tried You're never satisfied, satisfied Can't always get what you give But where I'm standin', I'm empty-handed

3. The Sun, The Moon, The Star - Æther Realm Another recommendation from a dear friend- be warned, it's a long haul at 19 minutes long! I love putting this one on for long drives as I get lost in the story it's telling.

The sun, the moon, the stars Shine less brightly with you so far I never knew sorrow 'til you asked me to follow my heart For all the tales I told And these whispers of silver and gold I'd throw them all away To gaze on your face once more One more time

4. Famvs (Alternate Version) - Starcadian This song was inspiration for an RP character based loosely on the Starfinder system; an android pilot who is also a famed DJ/radio host, who uses her fame and platform to misdirect and subvert.

And all I want to be is famous, trapped in cages Pleasing and teasing you Stuck inside a loop of pressure, what's your pleasure? Tell me what to do It's not as strange as you wanted Recycled revivalism There's no such thing as honest If you want to feel free, yeah

5. Inferno - mpi & Benjamin Anderson This song is a challenge to find online despite being an absolute banger! I've had it on repeat and it's a great hype up song.

Barely catchin' my breath Lay my eyes on the crest Gonna square up to all of the heat that is left So, I carry the torch to inferno! Inferno! It's out of the park And I'm smilin' again Here we go I know I know I know I know I will be here for you Wherever you go Trails of fire You always knew They would carry me home They'd lead me to you

thank you for the ask, lovely friend! ♥

Five Songs I'm Into Now (International Edition)

Tagged by: @riftdancing thank you lovely! I love a good excuse to discover and share music ✨

I've recently done one of these on my main blog here, so it's been great to highlight more songs that I've been vibing with of late!

This time, I've challenged myself to pick international songs since I listen to a wide variety; some of these have been long-time favourites of mine, while others are more recent. I discover a lot of new songs and genres using Radio Garden. (I highly recommend Transistor FM in Thessaloniki, Greece!)

I've also added a bonus song- my favourite from a band local to my hometown ✨

1. Frío Frío Live Version - Juan Luis Guerra 4.40 & Romeo Santos

From the Dominican Republic This one is a long-time favourite of mine- I've been listening to Juan Luis Guerra 4.40 since I was ~16ish and this is my favourite song of his. This live rendition with Romeo Santos is just *chefs kiss* and the whole live album is fantastic. It's also funnier if you watch the live recording of this song and realize that the reason the crowd goes so batshit when Romeo comes out is because he pops out of of a hole in the stage, it's so wholesome

2. T'Asteri Mou - Despina Vandi & Foivos

From Greece Something I used to do when I was playing Assassin's Creed: Odyssey was listening to Greek music. Since then I've become addicted to Greek pop songs. This one popped up on the station I'd picked in Radio Garden and I fell in love. I was learning Greek a few years back now, but only remember the basics + some random phrases from Duolingo - did you know 'soup' is considered feminine in Greek??

3. Qefs Milion A - Martin Mkrtchyan

From Armenia This popped up on a random Armenian radio station while I was browsing Radio Garden, and it always makes me want to get up and dance! I have nothing interesting or informative to say here, aside from that this song slaps.

4. Invoke - T.M.Revolution

From Japan My partner and I recently watched all of Gundam SEED (my... fifth? sixth? time watching, his first) and I was reminded just how much I not only love this series but the music. Choosing which opening/ ending theme I'd include in this was a challenge! I studied Japanese from middle school right through to my first (and last) year at university. I still remember a bit, to the point of still being able to hold basic conversations/ ask basic questions.

5. Klefi / Samed (صامد) - Hatari & Bashar Murad

Icelandic & Palestinian Collaboration **warning for flashing lights in the video!** I discovered Hatari from their appearance in Eurovision in 2019 and the song they performed (Hatrið mun sigra) is a favourite of mine. This one has been on repeat more frequently now, for reasons I'm sure are obvious from the tumbnail. While in Israel for the competition, Hatari joined forces with a Palestinian artist, Bashar Murad, to create this song of resistance; the band also got a harsh response from the audience for displaying the Palestine flag during the competition's grand final. The video filmed for this song is very powerful, which is why I've added this link from YouTube instead of Spotify. I highly recommend watching it and having captions on for translation. Timestamp 2:48 is truly breathtaking. "After all this torture I'm steadfast, I won't bow down." From the rivers to the sea, Palestine will be free 🕊️

Bonus; Yoke - Teenage Joans

From Adelaide, Australia A new home grown favourite that I recently discovered, this song take me back to my emo/punk days. This song has been on repeat- in my headphones, my car and my home stereo. My poor husband and cats are probably sick of hearing it. Did you know Australians normally sing with a different accent, otherwise we sound ridiculous? Examples here: 1/2

Thanks for coming on this chaotic trip with me!

Miqo'te Headcanons

i.e. all the ways my ocs regularly act like cats.

Climb things. Sit on top of bookshelves and dressers and pillars and tables.

Squeezing through tiny spaces it doesn't seem like they should be able to actually fit in.

Liquid bones. How are you even contorted like that??

Nap in a sunny spot. Nap a lot. Nap anywhere.

Cheek rubs, head bunts, touch noses, and tail-wraps to say hello to beloved friends.

Grooming. Straight up licking instead of just kissing (tho they can kiss too ofc)

Kneading with little biscuit hands.

Strong sense of smell and hearing - makes them good at recognizing people's moods & reading body language (heart rate changes, hormone levels, etc)

Walk ahead of friends and then just stop and turn around mid-stride, causing accidents.

Swat things off tables.

Scratching furniture when worked up... usually absentmindedly. (Miqo'te 'stress ball' is actually just something handheld they can drag their claws over without wrecking the furniture)

Extremely drawn to movement. High prey drive.

Play ambushing. Play fighting. Play chasing.

Investigate what friends are doing. They're in your space. They're helping. Pay attention to them.

Mirroring. They'll start imitating friends' body language so fast.

Silly eyes (even for Sun Seekers!)

Airplane ears and tail whips when grumpy.

Hair/fur fluffs up like Ghibli character when excited or scared.

Hissing, growling, purring, chirping.

Also kekekekeke'ing when there's something they want to hunt and can't reach.

Startling them might get a miqo'te stuck to your ceiling or backflipping into all your furniture.

Angry Miqo'te can intimidate and chase off much larger creatures just by fluffing up and yowling and being Big Mad.

Allowing tummy pets/rubs/touches is a BIG display of trust.

Bringing food to friends bc they looked hungry. Stealing food from friends bc it looked tasty.
